1:33 pm
means for northern ireland and scotland, increasingly northern england and west wales, some better weather prospects tomorrow. not so further south and east. this band of wet weather is sinking very slowly southwards and eastwards. some heavy rain moving slowly enough it could cause some big problems, travel disruption, maybe some issues with flooding. on thursday, the last of that rain still hanging on across the south—east. the area of high pressure builds further across the country, so many places fine and dry on thursday. however, the end of the week brings this frontal system from the west. it will bring some outbreaks of rain, heavy in the west, lighter and more patchy in the south—east. quite windy with gales in the far north—west, 16—20d, but the weekend, a little bit of hope because it looks things will turn dry with some sunny spells. goodness, i hope so! thank you. that is all from us for now. on bbc one wejoined the

is all from us for now. on bbc one we joined the bbc‘s is all from us for now. on bbc one wejoined the bbc‘s news is all from us for now. on bbc one we joined the bbc‘s news teams where ever you are, bye—bye. welcome to the sports centre. as you've been hearing one of the athletes affected by the stomach bug at the world athletics championships has told the bbc that his chances of running had been "sabotaged". botswanan 200 and 400 metres runner isaac makwala missed the heats of the 200 last night when he became ill before the race. you can imagine the build up to this moment there are whole lives. these championships is what the peak the world championships and to be struck down by something which is out of your control, mocked the devastating. —— must be devastating.
1:35 pm
he told me he was sick yesterday. he vomited when he was on his way to his warm up and she was forced to pull out of the 200 metres heats, those were his words. he says he feels fine but he is heartbroken at not being able to go for the double that he wants to do because he is also due in the 400 metre final and he still does not know if he can compete. i felt heartbroken yesterday. i worked hard for this. even myself, i was top of my game to come here. iwas even myself, i was top of my game to come here. i was ready to make everything possible. i came here for a medal. if some people forced you to withdrawal, i do not know... i am
1:36 pm
0k to run but someone says, no, you cannot run, it would not be nice. it isa cannot run, it would not be nice. it is a bad thing. one irish athlete had to pull out. he was due to run in the 400 metres but he became sick on sunday. we are told that no british athletes have been affected because bursting in different hotels. it has not been going well for them either. just won a gold from the weekend. the medal target was six to eight medals set by uk sport. the directorate last week said they were going to need a lot of loch. —— luck. the formerjavelin player said that sport can be an unforgiving place. eight medals the target, with one at the halfway
1:37 pm
stage is not going to plan, is the simple message. there have been some marginal performances that maybe we nt marginal performances that maybe went the wrong way. sophie hitchens a medal last year and lara meer... we could have had three or four medals if we were on that target first six to eight, we would have more in the bag by now. there are not many chances left. it is not going to plan. sport is brutal and it isa going to plan. sport is brutal and it is a reminder of how tough it is out there. not many medal chances left. the 800 metre final tonight and the heats of the 200 women is today. the big final is that 400 metre final with the world record holder. will isaac makwala beat there? i will keep you updated. england's world cup star
1:38 pm
anya shrubsole will miss the start of the women's super league this week because of injury. she's suffering a side strain so won't be part of western storm's first fixture against southern vipers on thursday. the 25—year—old turned last month's world cup england's way with a brilliant late spell and victory over india at lords. more in the next hour. thank you very much. good afternoon. the lawyer for a british very much. good afternoon. the lawyerfor a british model very much. good afternoon. the lawyer for a british model who very much. good afternoon. the lawyerfor a british model who was allegedly held captive has been given more details. the lawyer says quilley ailing —— chloe ayling would be sold as a sex slave in the middle east. she was said to be under duress when she was seen out shopping before being freed. this story appeared to be incredible. she was kidnapped and then taken to the consulate by the same kidnapper and
1:39 pm
she had to be sold on line at an auction. this organisation which a p pa re ntly auction. this organisation which apparently is called the black death was about to send her to the middle east and she had no idea what was happening. tell me about chloe and what she is going through. at first, she was quite upset and i do understand that. as long as we managed to speak with a d a who promised her she would be let go, she was not held here in italy but they needed her present. we convinced her to stay here for the greater good. chloe apparently went shopping with the suspect before she was taken to the consulate and handed in. what is your sense of that? she was told she was going to
1:40 pm
be sold to somebody in the middle east for sex. she was told that people were there watching her and ready to kill her if she tried anything. she thought that the best idea was to go along with it and to be nice in a way to her capture. he told her that he wanted to release her at some time and she thought the best thing to do was to not go in conflict with him. she abided to his request to buy groceries and to buy shoes. she did not try to run. i believe she was terrified in the moment. even if she could have asked for help, she did not because she was subjugated to this person, or people, as she was given to understand. that must have been even

worse than being held hostage, physically held hostage. the number of hate crimes recorded in england and wales has been increasing every year since the government started publishing figures five years ago. this year there was a sharp rise in offences after the terror attacks in london and manchester. rickin majithia from the bbc‘s asian network has been out on patrol with london's metropolitan police to see what they're doing to reassure minority communities. hitting the streets in east london. following a rise in reported hate crimes in the capital these officers are trying to reassure the local community. but are they having an effect? for me coming out, i really do get scared. why? because, i don't know, anything can happen at any time. my husband would choose for me not to go. he would rather i was home and safe. but i do have kids and i have my needs to come out. i can hear swearing coming out or you can hear someone saying, get out or leave our country.
1:42 pm
i have heard them. how do the officers who are patrolling these neighbourhoods decide which incidents should be treated as hate crimes? racially aggravated public order where people get called names purely on the basis of their colour, religion. it can be racially aggravated attack where somebody has come along and attacks you because of your colour or because your race or religion. the mustafa family live in east ham. last year during the debates around the eu referendum they were subjected to abuse by youths living nearby. one day i left my window open by mistake and when i came back there were three kilograms of tomatoes all over the place. three kilograms of tomatoes thrown through your kitchen window? yes. they started calling my husband names. calling him osama bin laden. they called your husband osama bin laden because he had a beard? yeah. her husband had to install cctv cameras to capture the intimidation. after presenting the evidence
1:43 pm
to the police, the boys were arrested and charged. the abuse has since stopped. it is the kind of case that superintendant waheed khan is in charge of cracking down on. he is the met‘s deputy leader on combating hate crimes. hate crime can take many forms — all of them are equally unacceptable. i think they can be online, and increasingly we are seeing online activity for hate crime because of the fact that nowadays we have social media you have a lot more people that have activity on line and a presence and digital footprint online. you are seeing that increase of hate crime but it can happen anywhere, on a bus, street, in a shop, but equally in the digital world. the war against hate crimes on the intenet is fought from this hub in west london. it was launched in april by mayor sadiq khan. it works closely with social media
1:44 pm
sites to prosecute offenders. the police hope this combined approach of street and cybor controls will help to reassure london's diverse communities that they can live their lives without fear. the welsh government says it will invest more than £1 million in dental health to create ten—thousand new nhs places. the british dental association has criticised the announcement — calling it "creative accounting". tomos morgan has the details. for the last few years, finding an nhs dentist has been a struggle in wales. patients have found it tough to enlist whilst children have been waiting for long periods of time for orthodontic treatment in certain areas. in an effort to improve the situation, the welsh government have today announced an addition investment of £1.3 million worth, to create extra capacity for 10,000 new places. there will never be a time when resources are perfect.
1:45 pm
there are challenges across the whole country. i'm announcing specific funding today in areas where there's population challenges, where we recognise there is a real issue about more money going into deprived parts of the country. further funding has been allocated the specialist children's services as well. however the british dental association argue that this investment simply isn't enough. they say it's just a quarter of the amount that's already been taken out of the dental budget in 2016 for not meeting targets. the welsh government argue that this is new funding, and they are disappointed the bda don't see it as such. recent reports show oral health amongst children was improving amongst wales, but even the secretary of the health admits the overall situation here is farfrom perfect. the headlines on bbc news: 30 athletes and support staff at the world athletic championships, including 400metre favourite
1:46 pm
isaac makwala, have been hit by gastroenteritis. the family of a seven—year—old boy whose condition could cause brain damage win a high court challenge over an nhs decision not to fund a life—changing drug. more people in the north of england are are dying early than those in the south, new research finds. let's catch up with business this morning and egon is at the great british beer festival which is marking its 40th anniversary this year. egon. he really is working. i have not touched a drop, i am honest. this is the 40th anniversary of the annual celebration of all things beer. micro breweries are also being featured. let's have a look at one from london. wildside is are a six barrel brewery plant.
1:47 pm
it started in 2012. we started the brewery because we really, really like beer. we thought, let's do this for a living. it was a few of us, old friends from university, they were home brewing and i was home brewing as well. the were like, there's a session time. i thought, let's start a brewery. it was very, very difficult for us to start up. that was mainly because of the lack of capital at the time. we're not rich people, we do not come from rich families. what we did was we started out as cooker brewers, brewing using other‘s equipment and then giving the equipment back and setting that. we did that a few times until we eventually got investment from the brightside trust, a scheme investing in young people at the time. we were able to afford this place.
1:48 pm
it has been challenging getting the business started. a lot of that is to do with a lack of capital. we are just starting to export. we are literally about to deliver our first order to russia, which we are so, still excited about. next on the horizon for wildcard, we are moving sites. we have 12,000 litres a week of capacity. what is next is more beer. it is pretty easy making beer when you love it. you basically get to do what you love is a job. i am really, really lucky. well, one of the things that is driving the rise of michael breweries is a change in what we like to drink. someone who knows about that is marvin. -- margaret. they have taken exams from the british beer academy in london. i am qualified to advise restaurants about the beer is they can stock. i
1:49 pm
have hurled beer tasting parties and converted a lot of wine drinking, present go loving women into beer. —— champagne loving women into beer. is it right that beer should be taken as seriously as wine? more seriously. they might be controversial to say that but i think beer is a better compliment to food than wine. wine is so strong and it overpowers food. the different beer styles match perfectly well with food. for me, beer drinking is about enjoying it with food, different flavours. a great british pilsener would be perfect with a pork belly dish. a
1:50 pm
beer, an extra special better, perfect with a steak and kidney pie and chips. a storyline state and potatoes. that is all very well but ican hear potatoes. that is all very well but i can hear people across the country seeing it is all a bit complicated. ijust want seeing it is all a bit complicated. i just want go to the seeing it is all a bit complicated. ijust want go to the pub and have a pint. staff behind the bar are usually knowledgeable. they are happy for you to ask questions about the brewery and the taste. they are very happy to give you a small taste of the year that you have never tried before city can decide if you wa nt to tried before city can decide if you want to buy it. —— a beer. that is the reason why we support parts and has done for 40 years now. it is about getting people out to has done for 40 years now. it is about getting and )le out to g. has done for 40 years now. it is about getting and )le out people| public houses andgettngeaaelaj psblis hsssss— andsgettngsaaslaj
1:51 pm
it is burdened drinking responsibly. it is burdened with tax and duty. that is the reason why a lot of public houses are closing, an average of 21 per week but that gives us the excuse to go out and support your local public house. is that one of the problems with beer, it is considered male?m is still that case, you are around this festival and there are very few women here but there are a lot more women here but there are a lot more women are drinking beer. 3.2 million women are drinking beer. 3.2 million women 110w women are drinking beer. 3.2 million women now seek the enjoy beer. we are not talking just about lager, we are not talking just about lager, we are talking about stouts and bitters. there are all different types of beer. microbreweries are passionate about what they do and telling drinkers about what they do
1:52 pm
and getting people to drink beer.|j can tell you are passionate. that is it from the great british beer festival from this hour. it from the great british beer festivalfrom this hour. see it from the great british beer festival from this hour. see you next time. we are all discussing beer here. more coming up after 2pm. our correspondent has been to meet one family and get advice that could avoid the problems for little feet. ready? ready. steady? go! shoes. expensive? definitely. feet grow into all the age of 21 and with three children and two stepchildren, amy has a lot of shoes to buy. their feet seem to grow so fast! definitely! chase's do especially, he's got like a super massive big toe that's got a mind of its own!
1:53 pm
when was the last time you had your kids' feet measured? i'm going to have to be honest, i don't know if i've ever had any of them measured ever. so this is it, this is the lot? this is it. let me ask you, these all fit? i hope so. laughter let's find out! because today we are bringing in the big guns to check out the small feat which reside here. i hope you're not going to tell me off! are you going to show me your feet? emma supple is from the college of podiatry. i like these shoes. these pass for me because they've got a nice good heel. that's too small, isn't it? a survey from the college of podiatry found 29% of british children could be wearing shoes that are completely the wrong size. can you see how your toes are all squinched?
1:54 pm
56% of parents admitted buying kids' shoes without having their feet measured. these are the ones i don't like. 55% of children have suffered damage to their feet because of shoes which are too small or simply unsuitable. feels comfortable. yeah, feels comfortable but it's getting to the edge, though, isn't it? your feet have grown but you haven't noticed. i guess what we're talking about our crimes against kids' feet. yes, we are. worst culprits please? crime one, ill fitting shoes. get the child's shoes fitted and at least keep the information in your back pocket. crime two, slip—on shoes. if they're wearing slip—on shoes it should be temporarily, holidays and high days and everything else should be a fastened—on, buckled—on shoe. crime three, floppy heels. if the heel collapses in like a slipper, very unsupported at the heel, put it back on the shelf. the shops that don't have a feet measurements in where you buy the cheaper shoes, is there anything wrong with looking for cheaper shoes?
1:55 pm
nothing to do with price, it's all to do with style. some people feel awkward about going into the shops that measure feet and then leaving without buying anything. independent shoe fitters are a wonderful group of professionals and they don't have any problem with you going in and having your feet measured and leaving without having bought a pair of shoes. because bad shoes cause bad problems, corns, calluses, hammer toes. yeah, i am going to get told off? you are going to get told off. the recommendation is to go every six months to get your feet measured and that's a really good yardstick. definitely. kids' feet grow fast, they don't need a lot of money throwing at them but they do need protecting. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. much more coming up from 2pm. let's
