hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and steph mcgovern. tougher sentences for people who commit hate crimes online. new guidelines mean abuse on social media sites will now be treated as seriously as offences committed in person. good morning, it is monday 21 august. also this morning: second accident involving the us navy into mac months. —— the second accident involving the us navy in two months. we have the chimes of big ben live this

morning, before the clock falls silent at midday. carol is there for us. the chimes, and the clock, could be switched off for up to four years for repairs. the weather here in london is rather damp. it will be cloudy, but it will not be cold. for the rest of us, rain moving northwards. the best of the sunshine in the north and east. more in 15 minutes. also this morning: why police forces are asking more motorists to share footage of bad driving captured on dash—cams. in sport: mo farah signs off in style. in his final track race in the uk, the four—time olympic champion eases to victory in the 3,000m in birmingham. and sean is on a campsite in north wales for us. he is not on holiday. good morning. good morning. no, iam not on holiday. i am looking at why there are booming sales and bees. motorhomes and caravans, i am at this well lit campsite in north

wales to find out why. good morning. first, our main story: hate crimes committed online should be pursued as seriously as offences carried out face—to—face, according to new guidelines for prosecutors in england and wales. the crown prosecution service says it will seek tougher penalties for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type of extremist hate seen in charlottesville in the us. dominic casciani has more. rhodri philipps, the fourth viscount st davids, jailed last month for racially aggravated threats on facebook against gina miller, the businesswoman behind the brexit legal challenge. she said she felt violated by his shocking comments, just one of many online attacks she suffered. now, the crown prosecution service says these kinds of crimes must be dealt with as robustly as offences on the street. it is promising a tougher response, to build public confidence. there were more than 15,000 hate—crime prosecutions in 2015-2016, the highest number ever. and a third of those convicted

saw their sentence increased. but the number of cases referred to police by persecutors fell by almost 10%, a drop the cps says it is investigating. with the explosion in the use of social media over the last few yea rs, social media over the last few years, it is very important that the prosecuting authorities, the cps, the police, are as up—to—date as possible in making sure that they are using the law to its fullest extent. there is no hiding place for these perpetrators. the law is clear, and if you persist in these sorts of behaviour, you will be detected, caught and punished. some critics say the police and prosecutors moved too slowly to apprehend online abusers, and that means people are reluctant to come forward. but the cps hopes its new guidance will create the best possible chance of achieving justice

for all victims. dominic casciani, bbc news. spanish police are exploring a possible link between thursday's attacks in spain and assaults by so—called islamic state in brussels last year. authorities believe the iman, abdelbaki es satty, may have radicalised younger members of the cell which carried out the las ramblas and cambrils atrocities. they are also investigating whether he was involved in the bombings at brussels airport and a metro station in the city, which killed 32 people. 0ur europe correspondent gavin lee is in barcelona. what more do we know about the imam, abdelbaki es satty? there is a man—hunt is still happening, isn't that? yes, to bring you where we are now, so we happening, isn't that? yes, to bring you where we are now, so we have a man—hunt for one person. this is a 24—year—old moroccan. police say

they are still looking for him. he may have gone to france. they have increased border controls but they say they have identified the driver, and they have not yet confirmed that this is the driver. what we are getting a clearer picture on is the potential organiser, the ringleader in all of this, this is abdelbaki es satty. this is someone who is believed to have accidentally killed himself in an explosion in a day before the attacks on thursday, when he was trying to prepare bomb material. reports here in spain are saying that he might have spent time in welsh around the time of the brussels attacks. the belgian man at is telling newspapers and his neighbour is telling our team where he used to live here in spain, that he used to live here in spain, that he potentially was somebody who was radicalising that group. that seems to be where the investigation is centred, but the man—hunt is still continuing. we will be hearing from two brits who were in barcelona and witnessed the attack at 8:10am.

the us navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off the coast of singapore. it is the second serious collision involving an american warship in two months. 0ur correspondentjoins us from singapore. hello to you. thank you for coming on the programme this morning. what is the latest we know? well, the latest information we have received from the us navy's public affairs department is that ten american sailors are still missing asa american sailors are still missing as a result of the collision that took place earlier this morning, in the early hours of monday morning. five were injured, but four of those five sailors had been evacuated via singaporean helicopter to a hospital in singapore, with nonlifethreatening injuries. that is what the us navy is calling those injuries, and the other sailor does not need any further medical

attention, according to the us navy. now, from what we have been told by the public affairs department, earlier this morning there was a collision between the us warship the john s mccain, and a commercial oil and chemical tanker, a liberian flagged oil tanker, substantially larger than this american warship. and this collision took place off the coast of singapore in the straits of malacca, a very congested waterway. military exercises by south korean and american armed forces are going ahead, despite protests from the north. the drills are conducted every year to prepare for an attack by the communist dictatorship. the latest come amid heightened tensions, following an exchange of threats between pyongyang and washington. motorists in wales will be asked to pass footage captured on dash—cams to police, in an effort to clamp down on dangerous driving. a pilot scheme in north wales has seen action taken against more than 100 drivers over the past year, after they were filmed by fellow motorists.

with resources, we cannot be everywhere for everyone, and it gives us an extra set of eyes on the road, 21w, recording what is footage that can be used in court. we will be speaking to an inspector later in the morning. it is really scary stuff. big ben will fall silent this lunchtime, and won't sound again until 2021. it is part of a major refurbishment of the houses of parliament, which could see the bells muted for longest period in their history. emma vardy reports. big ben chimes. since 1859, big ben has chimed through the reign of six monarchs and two world wars, with only a handful of interruptions. however, parliament says the bell

now needs to be disconnected for the safety of construction workers during major renovation work. but the plan to silence big ben has caused, well, rather a ding—dong, there has been a backlash from the public and politicians. the prime minister, theresa may, says she has asked the speaker of the commons to look into the matter urgently, to see whether big ben could continue to be heard. for now, big ben is due to be silenced until 2021, except for special occasions, such as new year's eve and remembrance day. people are invited to gather in parliament square to hear the final bongs at noon, before the great bell is taken out of action. and we will have the weather from carol. one of hollywood's most successful comedians,

jerry lewis, has died at the age of 91. he found fame in the 19505 as one half of a double act with dean martin. nick higham looks back at his life. here, enjoy yourself! jerry lewis's goofy comedies made him the world's best—paid movie star. with their visual gags, the cartoon—like nature of his films left some people cold. but they were immensely popular. i wrote the joke thinking, wouldn't it be marvellous if the elastic face that we have, that can do so much, wouldn't it be marvellous if our bodies were elastic? he was bornjoseph levitch, in 1926, into a family ofjewish entertainers in newjersey. following his stage debut at the age of five, he went on to play to great acclaim to audiences throughout new york. aged just 20, he teamed up with dean martin. i'm not going to do it! i'm not going to... what's all this noise?

their combination of sophistication and slapstick brought a decade of success, during which they starred together in 16 films. this weekend would be a perfect time for you to come out to the house, if you cared to... he thrilled as a talk show host stalked by robert de niro in the king of comedy. what do you say? it sounds great. the french, who considered him a genius, awarded him the legion of honour. but it will be his manic comedy performances for which jerry lewis will be best remembered. i used to watch all his films. good memories there. and mo farah went out in style, didn't he? and what do you want to see from his last race? that is the obvious one, but what i really love is the sprint at the end. you know it is coming, and it didn't

disappoint fans yesterday. mo farah, britain's most successful middle—distance runner, has run his last track race in the uk. the four—time olympic champion produced his trademark sprint finish, delighting home fans as he won the 3,000m at the birmingham diamond league. tottenham's wembley woes continue. in their first home match in the premier league at the national stadium, they lost 2—1 to chelsea. marcos alonso scored twice. spurs have won only two of the 11 games they have played at wembley since it was reopened in 2007. newly promoted huddersfield town continued their dream start to the season with a 1—0 win over newcastle. manager david wagner says the team have surpassed his expectations, making it two wins from two. and great britain won the team gold medal at the european eventing championships, in poland. nicola wilson also took individual bronze. i should have known, shouldn't i, that it would be the mo—bot.|j

should have said to see him win, but you always know that involves... no, no. you are right! and carol is getting the fulfil the last bongs that we will here from big ben. today will potentially be the last time we hear those bongs for about four years. they will be switched off for some repair work and you can see big ben behind me, looking rather resplendent this morning despite the fact that it is cloudy and wet, and the kind of work which is being done on it is going to have some new elements installed for the first time. and it is basically essential maintenance work being carried out to make it much more energy efficient. i will tell you lots more about it as we go through

the course of the morning but the umbrellas are up. it is a wet start to the day in london, and it also was rather cloudy. but it certainly is not cold. what we have is a band of rain cloud drifting northwards through the course of today. it will turn heavier across scotland and northern ireland later on in the day. but this morning you can see where we have got the band of rain extending from parts of south wales in towards the south—west of england, heading over towards london. murky conditions with it as well, but to the north that the cloud will continue to build. the best of the sunshine today is actually going to be across eastern parts of england and also eastern and north—eastern scotland. but through the day, as the rain advances northwards, eventually by about 4pm we will be seeing it across argyll & bute, in the galloway, the cloud building ahead of it but still the far north—east hanging on to the sunshine. moving in the north—east england, you will see the rain through the afternoon and north—east england seeing something much drier. then as we can

south into the midlands, into east anglia and the south—east, there will still be a lot of cloud around. some of us still having some drizzle on and off. but for example the east coast of east anglia could see some sunshine. southern counties of england, mixed fortunes. as we move towards hampshire, there is more cloud but from hampshire towards the isles of scilly it will be a bright afternoon with some of us seeing some sunshine, especially close to the coast. that is the same for wales. the rest of wales, fairly cloudy and quite murky, the rain in the north and the rain also extending into northern ireland. now, through the evening and overnight that whole band of rain continues its journey, overnight that whole band of rain continues itsjourney, moving through northern ireland, moving through northern ireland, moving through northern england, and then moving across most of scotland. behind it, a lot of cloud. again some patchy mist and fog, some sea fog and it is going to be a humid night tonight. temperatures in some parts of the uk, like this morning, not to be closer than 16 or 17 celsius. tomorrow we start off with

that rain advancing northwards across scotland. after a foggy, murky, cloudy start, for much of england and wales it will brighten up, with some sunshine. however, we have got showery outbreaks of rain coming in across the south—west, moving north. that will become more organised across northern ireland and western scotland, where we could see some heavy outbreaks of rain. but tomorrow, temperatures in the channel islands could hit 28. and as we head into wednesday we are looking at the northern half of the country being wet, especially so across scotland, where the rain will be heavy at times. further south, variable amounts of cloud. quite pretty, some sunny spells coming through as well, but not quite as hot or as monkey and sticky and it is going to be on tuesday. so temperatures coming down a touch —— not quite as monkey and sticky as it is going to be a tuesday. we don't mind a bong during the weather forecast, as long as it doesn't hinder your work.

not entirely true. there was a lot of rain. disappointing. she often does not need an umbrella, but it was significant enough that she needed it. the main stories this morning. and then we will look at the papers. the times. children exposed to a huge rise in gambling adverts. and yachts sailing south from albert dock. a shot from liverpool yesterday. many papers have teachers of princess diana on the front talking about her. —— pictures. in the £50 billion eu exit

boost. a promise of 114,000 newjob. that is to do with analysis from a campaign group. a story we are talking about. 0n campaign group. a story we are talking about. on line abuse to be treated as a hate crime. brexit will make the world safe. quite a few papers showing pictures ofjulian cadman, a seven year old british boy who is confirmed to have died in the barcelona terror attack. the financial times has a picture from barcelona and the service with the royals attending. do you remember when donald trump came into power? he was talking about being a business president. the donald trump

administration has decided to push ha rd administration has decided to push hard for tax reform with a controversial national security investigation. what have you got? how important is it where a football team plays? writ important. we all love wembley. — — team plays? writ important. we all love wembley. —— very important. that headline is not from the point of view of the spurs. people going will love the atmosphere. it helps raise theirgame. will love the atmosphere. it helps raise their game. yesterday, tottenham hotspur wanted it to feel more like a home stadium and it did not work. one person working on this whole atmosphere of the stadium you play in is pep guardiola. a tiny picture. this picture is him changing the dressing rooms at the etihad. they are circular so

everyone has to talk to everyone. you cannot hide. it is based on a sofa like the one we have. yeah, and similar, they have hydrobaths and cool airjets to keep your legs cool. do you have good public transport manners? yeah. commuters in the north of england today have had a free day of moaning, allowed to talk about what they are worried about. they had radio and tv phoneins to express frustration. today officially you are allowed to moan about public transport. people moan most days. a whole day of it. that sounds like a nightmare listening to

eve ryo ne sounds like a nightmare listening to everyone moan for a day. people want to get to the bottom of it. just listen to people in the run—up to it. don't it! ok! -- don't ruin it. i think we can do the headlines now. the main stories this morning on brea kfast. 0nline hate crimes are to be treated as seriously as offences in person for the first time after new guidance was given to prosecutors in england and wales. the us navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off the coast of singapore. and now one of the main stories mentioned in the headlines. hate crimes carried out on social media should be treated as seriously as offences committed in person, according to new guidelines for prosecutors in england and wales. the plans are in response to growing levels of abuse on platforms such as twitter and facebook, and are part of a wider review of hate crime by the cps.

we'rejoined by rose simkins, who's the chief executive of stop hate uk. thank you very much for coming to see us thank you very much for coming to see us this morning. good morning. what is tricky is what is the definition of hate crime? many people will get messages on line which might seem abusive. but at what point does it become a crime? it depends on the context of what is said to. but basically, has a crime being committed? hate crime is not a stand—alone crime, it is aggravation. you have to reach or break a fundamental law. you might be committing harassment, stalking, vicious communication on line. on the street it is assault. there has to bea the street it is assault. there has to be a crime committed. and so the normal process takes place. has a crime taken place? can it be prosecuted? it

crime taken place? can it be prosecuted ? it is crime taken place? can it be prosecuted? it is those decisions which are criticalfor prosecuted? it is those decisions which are critical for people. most people don't report hate crime on or off the internet. we have to encourage people to come forward and report. it is not for those individuals to decide whether there has been a law broken or not. the professionals go through it, like the police and the cps. it is difficult, really, to know exactly what can be prosecuted. that is obviously why the cps being more open to looking at that is important and more open to deciding that something can be prosecuted as well. do the police have the resources to deal with this if this were to be dealt with in the same way? do they have the resources to deal with all of those things happening in follow—up on all of those lead? of those things happening in follow-up on all of those lead? that isa follow-up on all of those lead? that is a real worry. the police are

getting better at dealing with reports. that is why stop hate uk exist. we don't believe they have the resources. many people don't go to them for many reasons. one of those reasons is am i wasting their time, can this go further? it is not just about... people don't always wa nt to just about... people don't always want to go through the criminal justice process. what they want is someone justice process. what they want is someone to listen to them, to understand, give them advice, help keep them safe. we can go through those options with people and give them reassurance and help them speak to the police. so it is not a filter, as such, but it is a kind of friend who can help you get through that process. and we can try to think of other solutions. sometimes the solution might be a social media company, perhaps a conversation with

them about the harm being done, and they are getting better as well. everyone is getting better at dealing with it, but it has a long way to go. why is it increasing? is it easy to send off messages to people with so many platforms for it? are getting more nasty? what is it? are getting more nasty? what is it? some people say it is moving for the street and the internet. it is a safer place for the perpetrator because they think they are hidden. they are not as hidden as they may think. and people are getting more aware of what constitutes a crime. they think they can say anything with a freedom of speech. that comes in the law. there are restrictions on freedom of speech. and so people are more brave. it is easy sitting in your room to do these things. you do not have to go out in the street and potentially put yourself at risk, that is how people see it. so

they get more bald on line. —— bold. social media, the police, everyone is talking about it. we have been talking about it for 18 months. as we all talk about it, people are going to get more aware of what they need to report and reporting will go up. it is difficult to know how much is going on in terms of if it growing? that sort of measure was not done a few years ago. but we will be able to do that in the future. and we will know more about if it is growing. but it is where many cowards lurk. it seems easy to do. but people need to know there are still laws and they can be caught, and people are being caught. interesting. thank you for coming in to talk to us. thank you. the weather with carol who was under the clock at big ben. sean out at a

slightly wet... i got a comedic message from him. he said i am lucky to not be in this rain. and we will have him back in a few minutes after the national headlines. see you soon. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. the london fire brigade is warning that more people will die from fires started by faulty fridges, washing machines, and other white goods if ministers don't act to implement safety guidelines. the grenfell tower fire started in a fridge—freezer, while another tower block fire in shepherd's bush last year began in a faulty tumble dryer. a letter sent to the prime minister, explains how some freezers and fridges are being sold with a flammable plastic backing. the lfb wants swift action taken by government when problems are identified in products. at midday, big ben will ring its bells for the last time for four years as it takes some time out for renovation work. but it's not the first time its fallen silent. back in 1956, the bells stopped for four months so work could be carried out on the glass

for each clock front. and you probably didn't know that pigeons sometimes go flying into big ben's clock, as they don't expect it there. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. 0n the trains, there are delays of up to 20 minutes at paddington station this morning after a train derailed yesterday. platforms 1 and 2 are closed for investigations. 0n the roads, a view of big ben, as roadworks continue on westminster bridge. and around the corner from there, whitehall is also closed southbound from horse guards road. and now for a check on the weather now with lucy. good morning. the remnants of hurricane gert have introduced

called it. black—clad is with us first thing. mist and murk around. the cloud is thick enough to produce drizzle. temperatures, 22 as a maximum. this evening and overnight, the cloud is still with us the be patches of mist and fog to look out for. 17—18. not comfortable for sleeping. fairly cloudy and murky to start the day tomorrow. it should be in and break into the afternoon. bright intervals developing. the odd isolated shower. more sunshinerising. 25 degrees. the outlook. a humid start week this week. temperatures more warm tomorrow thanks to sunshine. turning more fresh next week. pets and cinema aren't a natural

combination, but one theatre has now opened its doors to dogs. "doggy cinema sundays" at the london's picture house in piccadilly now allows owners to bring their pets and watch a film together. 0rganisers say it's growing in popularity, and they expect to keep it going. we all sat down in a marketing meeting and decided it was a fun idea. london is open to dogs. why not the cinema? they can sit next to their owners on blankets. but we ta ke their owners on blankets. but we take away the blankets so there is no fluff later on. if you can think of any films to watch with your pets, let us know on twitter. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and steph mcgovern. it is 6:30am. we will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: they became a symbol of unity following the arena attack, but worker bees have long been linked to manchester. before 7:00am, we will explore why they are so synonymous

with the city. we will see why police in wales want motorists to have a second set of eyes on the dashboard. and after 9:00am: one of the stars of the film being dubbed britain's brokeback mountain will be here to tell us more about it. all that still to come. but now, a summary of this morning's main news: hate crimes committed online should be treated as seriously as offences carried out face—to—face, according to new guidelines for prosecutors in england and wales. the crown prosecution service says it will seek tougher penalties for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type of extremist hate seen in charlottesville in the us. the move is part of a wider review of such crimes by the cps. with the explosion in the use of social media over the last few years, it is very important that the prosecuting authorities, the cps, the police, are as up—to—date as possible

in making sure that they're using the law to its fullest extent. there's no hiding place for these perpetrators. the law is clear, and if you persist in this sort of behaviour, you will be detected, caught and punished. spanish police are investigating a possible link between thursday's attacks in spain and assaults by so—called islamic state in brussels last year. authorities believe the imam abdelbaki es satty may have radicalised younger members of the cell which carried out the las ramblas and cambrils atrocities. they are also investigating whether he was involved in the bombings at brussels airport and a metro station in the city which killed 32 people in march 2016. the suspected mastermind of the barcelona and a cambrils attacks, abdelbaki es satty, is the imam of this mosque in ripoll, in north—western spain. he is being blamed by his father

of two of the attackers for radicalising his sons. translation: he took these young, impressionable minds, messed around with their brains, and now they're dead. the imam is believed to have been killed in an accidental explosion at a bomb factory, south of barcelona, a day before the attacks there. police are now investigating his movements across europe prior to last week's attacks. according to the mayor of the belgian town of vilvoorde, he was there betweenjanuary and march last year, right before the deadly attacks on the maalbeek metro station and the brussels airport. it is being reported that the audi used in the attack was caught

on camera earlier in paris, and one of the members of the cell visited zurich last year. police believe the suspected driver of last week's van attack may have escaped to france, and are now probing the attackers‘ links across europe. the us navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off the coast of singapore. it is the second serious collision involving an american warship in two months. president trump has said his thoughts and prayers are with the crew. military exercises by south korean and american armed forces are going ahead, despite protests from the north. the drills are conducted every year to prepare for an attack by the communist dictatorship. the latest come amid heightened tensions, following an exchange of threats between pyongyang and washington. lament mac more people will die from

fires if european safety guidelines are not implemented. a letter has been sent to the prime minister in response to the grenfell tower fire, which it is thought was started by a fridge freezer. it is warned some products are still being sold with a flammable plastic backing. big ben will ring out today for what could be the last time in four years, as the houses of parliament undergo a major refurbishment. the bells will be muted for the longest period in their 157—year history. some mps have criticised the plan, saying the bell's chimes are an important part of national life. and carol will be taking them in every hour and giving us the weather as well. the most photographed

building in the united kingdom. you can use that. i will. building in the united kingdom. you can use that. iwill. did building in the united kingdom. you can use that. i will. did you know it is the most photographed building in the united kingdom? later today, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the united states for the first time in 99 years. the movement of the moon between the earth and sun will turn day into night for 2.5 minutes across 1k us states. in the uk, a partial solar eclipse will be visible just before sunset, as the moon appears to take a bite out of the sun. you have to remember not to stare directly at the sun. you have to look through a filter, cardboard glasses. if you go online and search what you can do and what you can't do, it is very clear. you can see how to build your own, to protect your eyes. and don't stare at the sun. as if i would. and we are

excited, did you know total eclipse of the heart... bonnie tyler will be singing that on a cruise later. of the heart... bonnie tyler will be singing that on a cruise latenm that why you have been singing that all morning? and reasons, yes. we like to start every morning with total eclipse of the heart. the album version six minutes and 59 seconds, so the eclipse only meant to last two minutes and a0 seconds, so she is going to have to start early, or... and you don't want to get the timing wrong, there is that big crescendo. from bonnie tyler to mo farah. a little bit of sadness seeing him win his last race in britain. and we certainly need him now, tonight. mo farah has won his last ever track race in britain, with victory in the men's 3,000m at the birmingham diamond league meeting. the 3a—year—old took his sixth world championship gold

in the 10,000m at this month's london world championships, adding to the four 0lympic titles he holds. his last ever track race will be next week in zurich. after that, he is switching to road racing. what people forget is, it becomes like something of a hobby, something i enjoyed, it had become a job. because i love it, i love what i do, and that is part of it. but at the same time, it gets a little hard when you have so much pressure you just can't go anywhere. but now i am going to road, it will be a new game, a new mind, and i am excited. elsewhere in birmingham, cj ujah, who was part of the sprint relay team which won gold at the world championships, won the men's 100m exhibition race. he beat his fellow britons in the field, with a time of 10.08 seconds. tottenham started life at their new home, wembley, with defeat. they were beaten 2—1 by chelsea. marcos alonso was chelsea's star man, giving them a first—half lead with this stunning free kick. after an own—goal drew spurs level, alonso struck with two minutes remaining, to give antonio conte's side a first win of the season.

spurs have won only two of the 11 games they have played at wembley since it was reopened in 2007. for sure, forsure, a for sure, a big forsure, a big win. it is for sure, a big win. it is not easy to play against tottenham, and to win. i consider tottenham are really strong team. and for us, it was very important, this win. huddersfield town's terrific start to life in the premier league continued yesterday. aaron mooy‘s second—half strike gave them a 1—0 victory over newcastle. it leaves huddersfield with maximum points from two games, and still no goals conceded. there was a minute's silence before barcelona's match against real betis last night, the team's first match since the terrorist attacks in spain last week. instead of their normal names, players wore shirts with "barcelona" on the back.

they won the match 2—0. great britain have won the team gold medal at the european eventing championships, in poland. nicola wilson also took individual bronze. riding bulana in the show—jumping, wilson could afford two penalties to secure the team gold, but managed a perfect round. germany claimed team silver, with sweden finishing third. i can't put into words just how impressed i am by how the riders rode, and stuck to the system. you can probably hear i am a bit emotional about it, but that is not a bad thing. ijust can't be more proud, yes. the usa have won golf‘s solheim cup, after a comprehensive 16.5—11.5 victory over europe, in iowa. the americans had taken a commanding, five—point lead into the final day's singles. and it proved too much, despite a spirited europe performance, lizette salas holing the winning putt. the united states have now won five of the last seven competitions.

hotel, going on a gondola to 9000 feet to a resort with amazing beautiful views. we are not stressed. we don't need to hit the road. we don't need to talk about traffic. it will be loudly, but it will be clearing for totality time. —— cloudy. it will be my 11th.” only remember the one we had in 1999. it is a bit eerie. the birds stop singing because they think it is night—time. they go quiet. there is night—time. they go quiet. there is always in voluntary singing. everyone is hugging. it feels special. most people have seen a partial eclipse. but when you are in the path of totality, it is like warren in another world. all of the things that happened, the way the temperature drops, the changes of the light, everything is different. the moments before totality when

someone the moments before totality when someone turns the dimmer switch down. you are plunged into darkness dramatically. you feel so euphoric and you have a bit of a fear because the world should not be that way. it feels intense. and when looking at the eclipsed sun, it is like nothing you have ever seen the eclipsed sun, it is like nothing you have ever seen in your life, or just inspiring. it makes you feel insignificant, connected to the universe. we understand how huge the universe. we understand how huge the universe is. it is profound. it impacts many of us who go on to chase these. thank you. fascinating insight. we will talk about it later on. and, again, don't look at the sun directly. that is really important. we will speak to someone later on with proper advice.” important. we will speak to someone later on with proper advice. i will let them talk about that. and in between, we will be singing a lot of

by government when problems are identified in products. at midday, big ben will ring its bells for the last time for four years as it takes some time out for renovation work. but it's not the first time its fallen silent. back in 1956, the bells stopped for four months so work could be carried out on the glass for each clock front. and you probably didn't know that pigeons sometimes go flying into big ben's clock, as they don't expect it there. some sore beaks. let's have a look at the travel situation now. no service due to staff shortages on the london service. 0n the trains, there are delays of up to 20 minutes at paddington station this morning after a train derailed yesterday. platforms one and two are closed for investigations. 0n the roads, a view of big ben, as roadworks continue on westminster bridge. and around the corner from there, whitehall is also closed south—bound from horse guards road.

0ne one more story for you in a moment which you are going to like. and now for a check on the weather now with lucy. good morning. the remnants of hurricane gert have introduced tropical air. humid air with us this week. that cloud is with us first thing. mist and murk around. the cloud is thick enough to produce a spot of drizzle. temperature maximums, around 21—22. this evening and overnight, that cloud is still with us. again, patches of mist and fog to look out for. temperatures not falling that far, though, overnight temperatures of 17—18. not very comfortable for sleeping. fairly cloudy and murky to start the day tomorrow. it should thin and break into the afternoon. bright intervals developing. the odd isolated shower. more sunshine means temperatures are rising. 25 degrees.

the outlook. a humid start week this week. temperatures more warm tomorrow thanks to sunshine. turning more fresh next week. pets and cinema aren't a natural combination, but one theatre has now opened its doors to dogs. "doggy cinema sundays" at the london's picture house in piccadilly now allows owners to bring their pets and watch a film together. 0rganisers say it's growing in popularity, and they expect to keep it going. we all sat down in a marketing meeting and decided this was a really fun idea. london is open to dogs. why not bring them to the cinema? they can sit next to their owners on blankets. but we take away the blankets so there is no fluff later on. the fluff issue is a real one, but it sounds like a good idea. back soon. tougher sentences for people who commit hate crimes online.

new guidelines mean abuse on social media sites will now be treated as seriously as offences committed in person. it is 7:00am. also this morning: second accident involving the us navy in two months. also this morning: why police forces are asking more motorists to share footage of bad driving captured on dash—cams. we are in north wales at a caravan park, looking at why sales of ca rava ns park, looking at why sales of caravans like these, owned by the

which is, are booming. —— owned by the butchers. in sport: mo farah signs off in style. in his final track race in the uk, the four—time olympic champion eases to victory in the 3,000m in birmingham. the chimes of big ben will fall silent today. carol is there for us this morning. that's right, at midday today we will hear them for the last time up the four years, for repair work. if you are coming to london to hear them for the last time ina london to hear them for the last time in a while, drink something waterproof. it is cloudy, damp drizzly this afternoon and we are looking at a band of rain moving north. the best sunshine in the uk will be in eastern areas. more details in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story: hate crimes committed online should be pursued as seriously as offences carried out face—to—face, according to new guidelines for prosecutors in england and wales. the crown prosecution service says

it will seek tougher penalties for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type of extremist hate seen in charlottesville, in the us. dominic casciani has more. rhodri colwyn philipps, the fourth viscount st davids, jailed last month for racially aggravated threats on facebook against gina miller, the businesswoman behind the brexit legal challenge. she said she felt violated by his shocking comments, just one of many online attacks she suffered. now, the crown prosecution service says these kinds of crimes must be dealt with as robustly as offences on the street. it is promising a tougher response, to build public confidence. there were more than 15,000 hate—crime prosecutions in 2015—2016, the highest number ever, and a third of those convicted saw their sentence increased. but the number of cases referred to police by persecutors fell by almost 10%, a drop the cps says

it is investigating. with the explosion in the use of social media over the last few years, it is very important that the prosecuting authorities, the cps, the police, are as up—to—date as possible in making sure that they're using the law to its fullest extent. there's no hiding place for these perpetrators. the law is clear, and if you persist in these sorts of behaviour, you'll be detected, caught and punished. some critics say that police and prosecutors moved too slowly to apprehend online abusers, and that means people are reluctant to come forward. but the cps hopes its new guidance will create the best possible chance of achieving justice for all victims. dominic casciani, bbc news. and ina and in a few minutes we will be speaking to the director of public prosecutions about those guidelines.

stay tuned for that. spanish police are exploring a possible link between thursday's attacks in spain and assaults by so—called islamic state in brussels last year. authorities believe the imam abdelbaki es satty may have radicalised younger members of the cell which carried out the las ramblas and cambrils atrocities. they are also investigating whether he was involved in the bombings at brussels airport and a metro station in the city which killed 32 people. 0ur europe correspondent gavin lee is in barcelona. so more information coming out now about the people involved in this, in particular this imam. yes, we are getting a clearer picture, i think, today as to his involvement. police raided his empty property in this picturesque pyrenees town, about 1.5 hours from here, over the weekend. and they believe, or certainly it is understood, that he killed himself

accidentally on wednesday the day before the attacks. he was trying to prepare home—made bombs in a house where 12 men, police say, had been plotting this attack was six months. an explosion happened, there were 105 canisters of butane and other home—made bomb—making equipment here, and the reason they carried out this attack on las ramblas and the second one in cambrils, on the coast, further south, was because they had to quickly act. ultimately he was the target and they are looking at whether he was linked to the madrid attacks, to the belgian attacks as well, some people say he had spent time there. but the hunt continues for another man, who is the main focus of the man—hunt right now. the us navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off the coast of singapore. it is the second serious collision involving an american warship in two months. bbc‘s mat morrisonjoins us from singapore.

mat, are there any further updates? so at about 5:20am singapore time, there was a collision in singapore between the ussjohn s mccain and a liberian oil tanker. the oil tanker was far larger than the uss mccain. we are seeing pictures of the damage resulting from the collision and the resulting from the collision and the resulting missing ten sailors, as you mentioned, and five who are injured. four have been evacuated and are being treated in hospital in singapore. 0ne and are being treated in hospital in singapore. one was treated on site. so the seventh fleet, which oversees naval operations for the us, is going to determine exactly what happened and how this collision, as you say, the second such collision in two months, could have possibly happened. the last one leading to a loss of life. we will have to see what happens in regards to this

instance. and you can see quite clearly the damage on the side of the us warship. military exercises by south korean and american armed forces are going ahead despite protests from the north. the drills are conducted every year, to prepare for an attack by the communist dictatorship. the latest come amid heightened tensions, following an exchange of threats between pyongyang and washington. more people will die from fires started by faulty whitegoods if ministers do not act to implement safety guidelines. that is according to the london fire brigade, the city's mayor, and safety groups. they have sent a letter to theresa may in response to the grenfell tower fire, which it is thought was started in a fridge—freezer. it warns some products are still being sold with a flammable plastic backing. big ben will ring out today for what could be the last time in four years, as the houses of parliament undergo a major refurbishment. the bells will be muted for the longest period in their 157—year history. some mps have criticised the plan, saying the bell's chimes are an important part of national life. did you know that it was the most

photographed building in the uk? you can't just half that photographed building in the uk? you can'tjust half that offers your own stat! i found out can'tjust half that offers your own stat! ifound out today can'tjust half that offers your own stat! i found out today that the first bell they put up their cracked because they did not angle it correctly. and the hammer, which weighs about 20 kg, was so powerful it whacked through the bell, so they had to replace it. the american entertainerjerry lewis has died at the age of 91. he became famous for his double act with dean martin, and went on to become the highest—paid actor in hollywood, with hits such as the bellboy and the nutty professor. his family say he died of natural causes at his home in las vegas. he was a great entertainer. you used

to watch him with your dad. yes, very fond memories. just seeing his face brought me back. the united states will experience a coast—to—coast total solar eclipse for the first time in almost a century, later today. the so—called path of totality, when total darkness falls, will hit 1a american states. 0ur reporter nada tawfik sent this piece from hopkinsville, in kentucky, which will experience the fullest eclipse. eclipse—mania has arrived, and in the small town of hopkinsville, kentucky, this is the largest party they have ever thrown. officially ‘eclipseville' for the big day, here is where the best of the darkness will be, and locals are over the moon.

it is a fantastic atmosphere. i love it. it's bringing out the best in everybody, and everybody's together, and i love it. to deal with the overwhelming preparations, this quiet community of 30,000 appointed a special solar eclipse co—ordinator, and mayor carter hendricks says this has been months in the making. about ten years ago, we got a phone call from a scientist asking about the eclipse, and if they could book hotel rooms. that was the first i'd heard of it. at the downtown festival, there are dozens of lenders, selling everything from eclipse t—shirts to artwork and glasses. the moment of totality will last two minutes and a0 seconds,

here, but the memory will leave a permanent mark on this rural community. and bonnie tyler will be singing total eclipse of the heart. when you start work at 5am and work until the evening, bonnie taylor can send you around the bend, in the right way! as we have been hearing, new cps guidelines could mean tougher penalties for people in england and wales who carry out hate crimes online. the plans are in response to growing levels of abuse on social media. we can speak now to alison saunders, who is the director of public prosecutions. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. can you define for us what counts as a hate crime? because we have seen and heard a lot about people getting abuse online. when is

ita crime, people getting abuse online. when is it a crime, and people getting abuse online. when is ita crime, and not people getting abuse online. when is it a crime, and notjust someone being nasty on twitter or facebook or whatever? well, i hate crime does not just occur online. it or whatever? well, i hate crime does notjust occur online. it can occur in the physical space as well, and we define a hate crime where it is a crime that has motivated by somebody‘s hatred of an individual because of a particular characteristic. so it could be disability, it could be their gender, sexuality, it could be race or religion. and if the crime is committed because of somebody‘s hate trait of that particular characteristic, then that is a hate crime. and it is important that we define it as such, because if we define it as such, because if we define it as a hate crime we can ask the court to increase the sentence if they are convicted or plead guilty. so what changes will this create? the fact that a hate crime online is something you will look at and makea online is something you will look at and make a lot of. there are to make things we have launched today. one is internal guidance for prosecutors to make sure they are aware of all

the different things they need to ta ke the different things they need to take into account in relation to the different specific strands of hate crime, and to make sure that we are asking for a sentence uplift, where we are convicting individuals. but also public facing statements and social media campaign we are launching today, hate crime matters, thatis launching today, hate crime matters, that is important because it is a crime which is underreported. some people feel they need to put up with it, they think it is just something that happens to them because they are disabled, gay, or of a particular religion, and that is absolutely not the case, so we are really encouraging people to think about the behaviour shown to them and to think about reporting things which will be a hate crime. and how is this going to be enforced? we have talked a lot about how much pressure the police are already under. if they are now going to be getting a lot more people reporting these online cases, do they have the resources to deal with it? yes, and ican mainly resources to deal with it? yes, and i can mainly talk about prosecutors but we have enough resources to deal

with this. it is something we understand. we prosecute at the moment over 15,000 cases of hate crime per year, and what we have seen crime per year, and what we have seen is a rise in the number of cases, against all the strands, particularly race and religiously aggravated hate crime. the good news which can give people more confidence in coming forward is that in over 50% of the cases we prosecute, we are seeing the sentence uplift because it is a hate crime, which should give people the confidence to come forward. likewise we can help and support people. so one of the documents that we have issued today is specifically for people who are disabled, to indicate how we can help and support them through the court process. so again, that should encourage people to come forward. why and how? we have had a social media policy for a while and we are

just updating it. wejust media policy for a while and we are just updating it. we just want to make sure prosecutors are as up—to—date as possible. we want the community to be safe. we want groups to get together to make sure we are so where as possible about harry is that manypeople from reporting. —— are as aware as possible about this. and now for the weather. big ben prepares to fall silent. is the sun coming out? it is not. good morning. it is not sunny. it is cloudy and wet. but what a magnificent view of big ben behind me. it will stop

making noise from midday to repair. that will take up to four years. big ben is actually just that will take up to four years. big ben is actuallyjust the bell inside the elizabeth tower, and it is the most photographed building in the entire uk. they will still continue on new year's and remembrance sunday. but if you're coming down here, bring your umbrella is. we have a weather forecast for the whole of the uk. cloud and rain going north through the day. the map of the uk. patchy rain across south wales, south—west england, extending through southern counties of england into the south—east, as we have here in london currently. not heavy in particular. but you will get wet. it is going north, introducing more

distance in her car on a road she knows well when this happened. the driver of the other car blame her for the crash, but she used the footage recorded by her dashcam to show she did nothing wrong. her car was written off, but the dashcam that proved her innocence followed her to her new one. i had it for a few minutes. it was a great example of what it can do. i believe it helps me. it just of what it can do. i believe it helps me. itjust proves what happened. it definitely helped me. they record what the driver of a car seized on the road ahead. —— sees. when there is an act that end, the footage can prove whether the driver is in the clear or if they were at fault. dashcams have shown questionable behaviour on our roads which could have put others at risk. in north wales, police investigate

footage sent in by motorists. it has resulted in action against some drivers, and has been so successful, the scheme is going to be expanded. they say dashcam footage can give valuable evidence in the event of a crash. some companies lower premiums for drivers who have the technology in their cars. having that record of what happened means the claim get settled quicker. the second one is if you are unlucky enough to be the victim of a cash for crash scam or if you are being accused of something you have not done, you have good evidence. court cases have known to use them. this shows you we re known to use them. this shows you were not to blame. some say dashcams area were not to blame. some say dashcams are a breach of privacy. violet says she will never drive without one and believes our roads would be safe if eve ryo ne believes our roads would be safe if everyone had one in their cars.

lorna gordon, bbc news. incredible footage. inspector david cust is from north wales police. this is changing the face of policing. it is. with dashcams becoming more popular, we saw a need to progress the footage process to make sure as a member of the public, if you are dissatisfied with how someone if you are dissatisfied with how someone drives, you can report it. when you get footage... thatjust makes... every time i look but i cringe. what do you do with the footage? it is submitted through our website. people send it with a statement saying it is their footage and has not been doctored. we assess it against the evidence and we look at what we do from there, whether it is going to court, a penalty,

depending on what the offence is. how do you respond to a legitimate concern this is big brother gone mad? i don't see it that way. it increases road safety. we all want to get from a to b safely. is in the back of your mind you think a car will have a dashcam, it will make you safer. —— if in. will have a dashcam, it will make you safer. -- if in. is driving getting worse? no, but this highlights there are still poor drivers out there. we want the ability to bring them in. you can go on youtube and social media and there are many bad driving examples. cyclists in big cities struggling to get past vehicles. is it true you will not pursue cases when that footage has been uploaded already? it goes againstjustice. people will have preconceived ideas about what

the footage is. it is not fair if someone the footage is. it is not fair if someone has already seen it and have there own ideas about whether they are at fault. we just say don't put them on social media. you ran this initiative and it will be going across the whole of wales. how did it work? how many were you sent? across the whole of wales. how did it work? how many were you sent7m was put together by one of our sergeant because he saw a need for aid. we have trialled it for 12 months. we had 129 cases taken forward , months. we had 129 cases taken forward, a significant number. we will take it forward through all of wales. it will be the same process. it will be interesting to see how it all works. thank you very much for coming in to talk to us. how much do they cost? it cost £5 for my car.

they are not expensive and you can get a discount with insurance. thank you very much. thank you. you can do it this time. it is 7:26. it is 26 minutes past seven. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning. sales of new cars may be falling, but we're buying more caravans. so, we've sent our happy camper, sean, to pwllheli in north wales to find out why. iam in i am in north wales. we are talking about the sales of camper vans and romantic ones like these getting more younger people involved. motorhomes have increased as well. more than 10% up in sales. we will talk about why more people are doing that. is it the weaker pound? or are

they attracted by what we have here? and now it is time for the news, travel, and weather, wherever you are this morning. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. the london fire brigade is warning that more people will die from fires started by faulty fridges, washing machines, and other white goods if ministers don't act to implement safety guidelines. the grenfell tower fire started in a fridge—freezer, while another tower block fire in shepherd's bush last year began in a faulty tumble dryer. a letter sent to the prime minister, explains how some freezers and fridges are being sold with a flammable plastic backing. the lfb wants swift action taken by government when problems are identified in products. at midday, big ben will ring its bells for the last time for four years as it takes some time out for renovation work. but it's not the first time its fallen silent. back in 1956, the bells stopped for four months so work could be carried out on the glass for each clock front. and you probably didn't know that pigeons sometimes go flying into big ben's clock, as they don't expect it there.

let's have a look at the travel situation now. severe delays on the london overground juju stuff severe delays on the london overg round juju stuff —— severe delays on the london overground juju stuff —— staff shortages. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. on the trains, there are delays of up to 20 minutes at paddington station this morning after a train derailed yesterday. platforms 1 and 2 are closed for investigations. on the roads, a view of big ben, as roadworks continue on westminster bridge. and around the corner from there, whitehall is also closed south—bound from horse guards road. and now for a check on the weather now with lucy. good morning. the remnants of hurricane gert has introduced tropical air. humid air with us this week. that cloud is with us first thing. mist and murk around. the cloud is thick enough to produce a spot of drizzle. temperature maximums, around 21—22.

this evening and overnight, that cloud is still with us. again, some patches of mist and fog to look out for. temperatures not falling too far, though, overnight temperatures of 17—18. not very comfortable for sleeping. it should thin and break into the afternoon. bright intervals developing. just the chance of the odd isolated shower. more sunshine means temperatures are rising. 2a—25 degrees. i will leave you with the outlook then. a humid start week this week. temperatures more warm tomorrow thanks to sunshine. turning more fresh next week. pets and cinema aren't a natural combination, but one theatre has now opened its doors to dogs. "doggy cinema sundays" at the london's picture house in piccadilly now allows owners to bring their pets and watch a film together. organisers say it's growing in popularity, and they expect to keep it going. we all sat down in a marketing meeting and decided it was a fun idea.

london is open to dogs. why not the cinema? they can sit next to their owners on blankets. but we take away the blankets so there is no fluff later on. let us know what kind of movies you would like to see with your pooch. i will be back in half an hour. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and steph mcgovern. hate crimes committed online should be treated as seriously as offences carried out face—to—face, according to new guidelines for prosecutors in england and wales. the crown prosecution service says it will seek tougher penalties for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type of extremist hate seen in charlottesville in the us. the move is part of a wider review of such crimes by the cps. we know this is a crime which is

underreported. sometimes feel they just have to put up with it, it is something that happens to them because they are disabled, because they are gay, because they are a particular religion. and that is absolutely not the case, so we are really encouraging people to think about the behaviour shown to them and to think about reporting things which will be a hate crime. spanish police are investigating a possible link between thursday's attacks in spain and assaults by so—called islamic state in brussels last year. authorities believe the imam abdelbaki es satty may have radicalised younger members of the cell which carried out the las ramblas and cambrils atrocities. they are also investigating whether he was involved in the bombings at brussels airport and a metro station in the city which killed 32 people in march 2016. the us navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off the coast of singapore.

it is the second serious collision involving an american warship in two months. president trump has said his thoughts and prayers are with the crew. more people will die from fires started by faulty whitegoods if ministers do not act to implement safety guidelines. that is according to the london fire brigade, the city's mayor, and safety groups. they have sent a letter to theresa may in response to the grenfell tower fire, which it is thought was started in a fridge—freezer. it warns some products are still being sold with a flammable plastic backing. here is a very good example of why not to use a mobile phone while on the move. look what happened when a sinkhole opened up at this crossing in china, without warning. a scooter driver who was on his mobile didn't realise, and drove straight in. don't worry, though. luckily, he walked away unharmed.

he is all right. another exciting visual moment which will happen today. later today, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the united states for the first time in 99 years. the movement of the moon between the earth and sun will turn day into night for 2.5 minutes across 1a us states. in the uk, a partial solar eclipse will be visible just before sunset, as the moon appears to take a bite out of the sun. 10% is what we will see over here in the uk, and we cannot stop talking about the total eclipse of the heart whenever we do this, can we? we are being told off for talking about it

too much. you made a demand that we play a section of it. it is such a good song, and it fits because bonnie tyler will be on a cruise ship, singing total eclipse of the heart. have you ever tried karaoke of total eclipse of the heart? it is almost impossible. is the hardest song to sing. i tried it once in portsmouth and had to stop halfway through. put the blues brothers on. and i am surprised she has kept her voice over the years, with the quirkiness. i have been holding out for a hero. ain't no sunshine when he is gone. mo farah has won his last ever track race in britain, with victory in the men's 3,000m at the birmingham diamond league meeting. the 3a—year—old took his sixth world championship gold in the 10,000m at this month's

london world championships, adding to the four olympic titles he holds. his last ever track race will be next week in zurich. after that, he is switching to road racing. what people forget is, it becomes like something of a hobby, something i enjoyed. it had become a job. because i love it, i love what i do, and that is part of it. but, at the same time, it gets a little hard when you have so much pressure you just can't go anywhere. but now i'm going to road, it will be a new game, a new mind, and i'm excited. elsewhere in birmingham, cj ujah, who was part of the sprint relay team which won gold at the world championships, won the men's100m exhibition race. he beat his fellow britons in the field, with a time of 10.08 seconds. great britain have won the team gold medal at the european eventing championships, in poland. nicola wilson also took individual bronze. riding bulana in the show—jumping, wilson could afford two penalties to secure the team gold, but managed a perfect round. germany claimed team silver, with sweden finishing third. i can't put into words just how impressed i am by how the riders

rode, and stuck to the system. you can probably hear i'm a bit emotional about it, but that's not a bad thing. ijust can't be more proud, yeah. tottenham started life at their new home, wembley, with defeat. they were beaten 2—1 by chelsea. marcos alonso was chelsea's star man, giving them a first—half lead with this stunning free kick. after an own—goal drew spurs level, alonso struck with two minutes remaining, to give antonio conte's side a first win of the season. spurs have won only two of the 11 games they have played at wembley since it was reopened in 2007. forsure, a big win. it's not easy to play against tottenham, and to win. i consider tottenham a really strong team, and for us, it was very huddersfield town's terrific start to life

in the premier league continued yesterday. aaron mooy‘s second—half strike gave them a 1—0 victory over newcastle. it leaves huddersfield with maximum points from two games, and still no goals conceded. the usa have won golf‘s solheim cup, after a comprehensive 16.5—11.5 victory over europe, in iowa. the americans had taken a commanding, five—point lead into the final day's singles. and it proved too much, despite a spirited europe performance, lizette salas holing the winning putt. the united states have now won five of the last seven competitions. i'm just so proud of how hard they have fought. i mean, it's not easy coming out here on a sunday, being so far behind. but i'm proud of them. they were out there fighting for every single match and every single point. so what can i say? just congratulate the usa, because they've played some awesome golf. in the home support helped them enormously.

zlatan ibrahimovic has suggested his knee is almost strong enough to return to football, by posting a video of himself kicking a punching bag. the 35—year—old posted the caption "which knee?" ibrahimovic suffered knee—ligament damage in his first season at manchester united. he remains out of contract and without a club, but is still wanted byjose mourinho if he can get back to full fitness. it is quite a good move. from a kick ochs in point of view it is fantastic. he looks like he is ready for another club. he has skills. timea for another club. he has skills. time a big part of big ben. just like buckingham palace and downing street, the bongs of big ben are a definitive part of london. but, at noon, the bells will peal for the last time for four years. it is part of a huge maintenance project at the houses of parliament. but, as silence approaches, a host of mps have expressed their frustration over how

long big ben won't bong. nigel evans is one of them. good morning to you. thank you for coming on the programme. most people agree there is a sadness that that familiar sound is not going to be there. isn't the reaction a little bit over the top? no. you have said it is an iconic tower, and it is, and the noise is something that people associate with london. they associate it with the news during the second world war. people used to listen out for it. it is the sound of truth and freedom, which is just iconic. and i think part of the problem is that the mps who have sat on committees, there are other three committees dealing with this, believe it or not, and it appears that they simply were not giving given the information that disrepair would take place, and they didn't know that it would take four years. did no one asked the question?”

know that it would take four years. did no one asked the question? i am surprised, i sat on one of these committees, and we were replacing the cutlery, and we were told that perhaps we ought not to have the colours printed on the cutlery because so many were being stolen. soi because so many were being stolen. so i asked the question, tell me, how many are being stolen? and they couldn't answer it. i said if you can't even answer that question then let's put the symbol on the cutlery, and that is what we did. i think there are lots of churches around there are lots of churches around the country which don't have bellringers any more for all sorts of reasons, and so they have reproduced the sound of the bells for weddings and various other occasions. why couldn't we have done something like that on the other tower, on the victoria tower, so that those who were working on the elizabeth tower would not get deafened and people can still hear big ben chiming. these are simple things which could have been done. it is still not too late. when the bells silenced at midday there is a lwa ys bells silenced at midday there is always the opportunity, i hope, and when the house gets back, i hope

these questions will be asked. why is it taking so long? why has the cost almost doubled from £20 million to something like £60 million, and why is it taking four years? given everything else which is going on in the world, though, chatting about whether the clock should have its bongs seems a bit trivial. it got worse. my first meeting we were talking about whether the carpets being replaced in the house of commons were the right shade of green. i used to call the committee 50 shades of green. we laugh about it, but you guys are meant to be doing jobs to help the country. it, but you guys are meant to be doing jobs to help the countrym is not the most important thing we will discuss today, but the fact is that it will discuss today, but the fact is thatitis will discuss today, but the fact is that it is a unesco world site. and for me, i believe that the elizabeth tower and big bend, for me, i believe that the elizabeth towerand big bend, itjust for me, i believe that the elizabeth tower and big bend, itjust doesn't belong to parliament. this belongs to the people of britain and the people of the world —— big ben. i think we have a responsibility to ensure that the repairs are done, to make sure that the tower doesn't

fall over, but that the belle's noise is heard throughout the kingdom, and not just noise is heard throughout the kingdom, and notjust on new year's eve and remembrance sunday. kingdom, and notjust on new year's eve and remembrance sundaym kingdom, and notjust on new year's eve and remembrance sunday. it is already £60 million this costs, and it will take four years, if someone says we can put the recorded chimes on victoria tower but it will cost a ridiculous amount of money...” on victoria tower but it will cost a ridiculous amount of money... i bet there are some people who are in the business who would love to do that job, to show that they can have the appeals of big ben while the repairs are going on —— peels. but questions have to be asked why it is that the costs have spiralled. and we are talking about big ben, which is at the side of parliament. we are also talking about the refurbishment of the whole parliament. that started at £1 billion, we are now on £a billion. that was the last estimate i heard. if they can't get big ben right, what hope have i or anyone else got that they will get the

whole of parliament right? at least the cutlery is ok. well, i don't know how much of it is left. thank you very much, nice to see you. we have dropped clanger. how long have you been working on that. and because of the news from big ben, we have sent carol to westminster. i will not make any comment about whether the weather is improving, i will leave it to you. it is so cloudy and wet, but what of view we have a big ben behind me, looking resplendent despite the fact the weather is not. big ben, of course, is the bell inside the elizabeth tower. some interesting facts: big ben itself weighs 13.7 tons and has a diameter of 8.9 feet, that is 2.7 metres. each clock face is 23 feet, thatis

metres. each clock face is 23 feet, that is seven metres, in diameter, and composed of around 312 sections of opal glass. the hour hand is 9.2 feet, that is 2.8 metres in length, and the middle hand is a.3 metres. it is splendid, and as we have just been hearing, at noon today we will hear the chimes for the last time forup to four hear the chimes for the last time for up to four years for repair work —— minute hand. it has been raining in london all morning. we have a band of cloud and rain moving north eastwards through the course of the day. as it does so, it will pep up across northern ireland and also parts of scotland. what we have currently is that band of rain across south—west england, extending through south wales, into the south midlands and into the south—east. it is fairly patchy but some of it is heavy. the best of the sunshine todayis heavy. the best of the sunshine today is across the fire east of england, and eastern and north—eastern scotland, all the way up

north—eastern scotland, all the way up towards the northern isles. by the time we get to apm the rain will have advanced steadily northwards and by then will be ensconced across parts of argyll and bute, down towards galloway, still hanging on towards galloway, still hanging on to the sunshine in the far north—east. they will also be across the far north england, some of it could be heavy. north—east england although the cloud will build, it will be largely dry at this stage. down the coastline from north—east england towards norfolk, we will see some sunshine. but inland, there will be a lot more cloud right the way down towards the south coast, with drizzle at times. moving towards the south—west, you have got brighter skies with some sunshine coming through, and it will feel warm and the sunshine, as it will across south wales. for most of wales it will be cloudy and murky, especially along the coast, with the rain in the north. the same rain extending into northern ireland, where it will also be quite heavy. through the course of the evening and overnight, the rain continues to advance across northern ireland, through northern england and in through northern england and in through most of scotland. behind it,

for england and for wales it is going to be cloudy. there will be some patchy mist and fog, especially some patchy mist and fog, especially so along the hills and coasts, but not exclusively. and it will be a humid night, especially across england and wales. so tomorrow we start off with that scenario. the rain across scotland continuing to push northwards. the cloud and the murkiness raking across england, wales and northern ireland, allowing some sunshine to come through. we still have tropical air across us so in the sunshine the temperatures will rocket. we could have 28 in the channel islands, 232a widely across england and wales, but in the rain in scotland temperatures will be a little bit lower, the high teens at best. on wednesday the northern half of the country will see the rain, heavy at times, for the rest of the country, for england, wales and parts of northern ireland, we are looking at a dry and brighter day. but why then the wind will have changed direction to move westerleig h, changed direction to move westerleigh, so it will not be as humid and it will not feel as warm as it is going to either. is it good weather in north wales to

ta ke is it good weather in north wales to take your caravan out? it will be wet and murky. but if you like that... sean looks like he likes it. sales of new cars may be falling, but it seems we're buying more caravans. the weather is holding up quite nicely. everyone is having a nice time. we are talking about caravans. sales are up so much. zero for cars, though. we can talk to andrew. have you noticed a change in the last year? over the last three years we have seen demand massively increase. but also the style moving to ca rava ns but also the style moving to caravans and motorhomes. are

different people buying them? certainly. families, ones with younger children. younger people as well. it is becoming more popular. so, it has been improving for six yea rs. so, it has been improving for six years. but in the last year we have been talking about this. has it affected businesses? definitely. people have not come as much to north wales, until now, and we are coping with demand. people are getting wise and spending time outside of peak hours.” getting wise and spending time outside of peak hours. i will let you crack on with it. we will disrupt this family's backing up. perfectly timed. good morning. you have been here ten days this time. what made you think we should have a holiday in the uk and not go abroad?

just the freedom of visiting different places and spending time with my kids. you have upgraded in the last few years. when you made the last few years. when you made the decision to buy another one, why didn't you think let's just go abroad? partly the cost. with a ca rava n abroad? partly the cost. with a caravan you have the freedom to visit different places and get about and spend time with the children. how much more would you spend if you did not have it but the four of you decided to go to the south of spain? at least another couple of grand. how do you save money? you need a bigger car, the fuel? shop around for a nice campsite that will cater to everyone. making sure that you have stuff which will make your small time together as a family a nice time, like a nice beach,

somewhere to take the dogs and have them run loose. i will drag you out as well. when it comes down to it, the reason they have a bigger caravan, are here it is because of you? because i am getting taller. i am getting too big for it. what is it about places like this? would you prefer a holiday abroad? not really. you are happy here? yeah. i like spending time and doing stuff with my family. getting outdoors. yeah. it doesn't matter about the weather because you can still do stuff. and there are different views. and you have your dog with you the whole time. over the next few years will you come back here? we want to come back here. there are places we have not seen in wales itself we want to

come back to. it has been really nice. we want to come back.” come back to. it has been really nice. we want to come back. i will let you crack on with backing up and so you can enjoy your trip. charlie has been well—behaved. in an hour, we will talk about whether it has made a difference to holidaymakers in north—west wales. thank you very much. charlie likes sean but not the cameraman, steven. i know him. he made the right choice. i like their little sense. i love that the little kid gave the right answer, i would not rather go abroad. it is approaching 7:50. tomorrow marks three months since the terrorist attack at the manchester arena which left 22 people dead and many more injured. in the wake of the atrocity, a huge fundraising effort has raised more than £18 million

for the victims. in that time, the image of the worker bee, which has long been associated with manchester, has become a symbol of unity and strength in the city. breakfast‘s john maguire reports. taxi! i'm hailing a london black cab, but this one is manchester, through and through. behind the wheel isjohn consterdine. he is deeply passionate about his home city. it would have been the world's first industrial city. the busy bee, the worker bee, it represents that support, that standard in solidarity, against anyone who tries to sort of affect our way of life. and it's really poignant at the moment, that the bees come right through. the worker bee has long been one of the city's emblems, symbolising the industriousness of its past and its people. russell meehan has been adorning manchester's walls with bees for years, but now he is receiving more commissions than ever. on this wall, 22 bees, to honour the 22 victims of the arena bombing. it is a prominent spot, so a lot of people will see it, as well, and it means that people

won't forget what has happened. even though we get over things that have happened, people will see it and still remember, you know? it will be a lasting kind of monument, in a way. permanent in paint, and also in ink, as tattoo artists have also raised money for the victims‘ families. at the children's hospital, the largest in the uk, i met one of the doctors who fought to save young lives after the attack. an amazing work of community. all those things came together at one time. so i've never seen the hospital quite so busy, in terms of all the activity going on. dr fortune wanted to show his support and solidarity. i was chatting to some of my nursing colleagues and said i might get a bee t—shirt, or something, to which a distinct face was pulled. and after a bit of conversation i said, if somebody sponsors me,

maybe i will go for it. and really, one thing led to another. i put it onjustgiving and i hoped to raise £2,500. but i hit that within a couple of days, so i doubled my target to £5,000, and right now it stands at £5,500. so it's still open, of course, if anyone wants to donate. the money will go to the children's hospital. last month, the funeral of saffie roussos, the youngest person to die, was held at manchester cathedral. saffie, just eight years old, was described by her father during the service as a superstar in the making. a 22nd bee is to be added to the stalls, in honour of those killed in the concert. it's meant to remind us of those killed in the tragedy. also, it's meant to remind that this place stands for a variety of things, but it's also a place of hope. one evil, cowardly act that night, three months ago, was the catalyst for so much good.

the we love manchester fund has raised £80 million and counting. as for the city and its celebrated symbol, the worker bees are as busy as ever. beautiful. time for the news, travel, and weather, wherever you are watching breakfast back. we will see you soon. “— are watching breakfast back. we will see you soon. —— breakfast. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. the london fire brigade is warning that more people will die from fires started by faulty fridges, washing machines, and other white goods if ministers don't act to implement safety guidelines. the grenfell tower fire started in a fridge—freezer, while another tower block fire in shepherd's bush last year began in a faulty tumble dryer. a letter sent to the prime minister, explains how some freezers and fridges are being sold with a flammable plastic backing. at midday, big ben will ring

its bells for the last time for four years as it takes some time out for renovation work. but it's not the first time its fallen silent. back in 1956, the bells stopped for four months so work could be carried out on the glass for each clock front. and you probably didn't know that pigeons sometimes go flying into big ben's clock, as they don't expect it there. let's have a look at the travel situation now. minor delays on the district line due to signal failure. on the trains, there are delays of up to 20 minutes at paddington station this morning after a train derailed yesterday. on the roads, a view of big ben, as roadworks continue on westminster bridge.

says these kinds of crimes must be dealt with as robustly as offences on the street. it is promising a tougher response, to build public confidence. there were more than 15,000 hate crime prosecutions in 2015—2016, the highest number ever, and a third of those convicted saw their sentence increased. but the number of cases referred by police to persecutors fell by almost 10%, a drop the cps says it is investigating. we know this is a crime that is underreported. sometimes people feel they have to put up with it. it is something that happens to them because they are disabled, because they are gay and because they are a particular religion. that is absolutely not the case. we are encouraging people to think about the behaviour is shown to them and to think about reporting things which would be a hate crime. some

critics say police and prosecutors moved too slowly to apprehend online abusers. that means people are relu cta nt to abusers. that means people are reluctant to come forward. the cps hopes new guidance will create the best possible chance of achieving justice for all victims. spanish police are exploring a possible link between thursday's attacks in spain, and assaults by so—called islamic state in brussels last year. authorities believe the iman, abdelbaki es satty, may have radicalised younger members of the cell, which carried out the las ramblas and cambrils atrocities. they're also investigating whether he was involved in the bombings at brussels airport and a metro station in the city, which killed 32 people. mark lobel reports. the suspected mastermind of the barcelona and a cambrils attacks, abdelbaki es satty, is the imam of this mosque in ripoll, in north—western spain. he is being blamed by this father of two of the attackers

for radicalising his sons. translation: he took these young, impressionable minds, messed around with their brains, and now they're dead. the imam is believed to have been killed in an accidental explosion at a bomb factory, south of barcelona, a day before the attacks there. police are now investigating his movements across europe prior to last week's attacks. according to the mayor of the belgian town of vilvoorde, he was there betweenjanuary and march last year, right before the deadly attacks on the maalbeek metro station and the brussels airport. it is being reported that the audi used in the attack was caught on camera earlier in paris, and one of the members of the cell visited zurich last year. police believe the suspected driver of last week's van attack may have escaped to france, and are now probing the attackers‘

links across europe. 14 1a victims have been identified from seven countries. 1a victims have been identified from seven countries. gavin lee is in barcelona. you can see the memorial behind you. bring us up—to—date with how the investigation is going? in the past few minutes a newspaper has released cctv images of the driver leaving las ramblas, going through the market, fleeing on foot. he is wearing sunglasses. if that is the case, this is about 5pm orfive wearing sunglasses. if that is the case, this is about 5pm or five 30 pm on thursday. it ties in with one of the main theories of the police investigation, that the driver fled

on foot. about an hour and a half later, there was a man who was carjacked. a 3a—year—old spanish man. he was stabbed and killed. it is thought the driver, believed to be younes abouyaaqoub, drove away from the city and hasn‘t been seen since. there are checks on the french border. and also where this base was. we are expecting a press conference in about three hours from the interior minister. thank you. the us navy says 10 of its sailors are missing and five have been injured, after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off the coast of singapore. it‘s the second serious collision involving an american warship in two months. the malaysian maritime enforcement agency have been speaking in the last half an hour. we know the location of the incident. it is more

or less at the entrance, an area where 80,000 vessels travel through the area each year. on a daily basis i cannot give you the number. there are several authorities that look into the safety of the area. one is the mpa. that is the detail we have been receiving. the bbc‘s mat morrison joins us from singapore. what more can you tell us? we can tell you the uss john what more can you tell us? we can tell you the ussjohn s mccain has made it to dry land. it docked about 15 miles from where i am sitting in singapore at a naval base. reports

from the ground say there is a crane attached to the vessel as the damage is repaired. you have seen the pictures of the gaping hole on the port side of the vessel, about two thirds of the way back. there are a number of sailors still on board monitoring whatever repairs might be needed. as we have been reporting, the incident took place about five —— 5:2aam local time. ten people remain missing. five people were injured. of those five, four were evacuated for medical treatment. they have been treated. the fifth person did not require further medical treatment. the focus is on the ten missing sailors and hopefully not a repeat of an incident in which seven us sailors lost their lives on board the uss john fitzgerald. big ben will ring out today, for what could be the last time in four years, as the houses of parliament undergo

a major refurbishment. the bells will be muted for the longest period in their 157 year history. some mps have criticised the plan, saying the bell‘s chimes are an important part of national life. when the bells are a at midday, there is always the opportunity, i hope, and! there is always the opportunity, i hope, and i hope these questions will get asked, why is it taking so long? why has the cost almost doubled to £60 million? and why is it taking four years? lead us know what you think. carol is there with the weather throughout the morning. the united states will experience a coast to coast total solar eclipse for the first time in almost a century later today. we were talking to some eclipse

chasers earlier. the so—called path of totality, when total darkness falls, will hit 1a american states. nada tawfik sent this piece from hopkinsville in kentucky, which will experience the fullest eclipse. eclipse mania has arrived, and in the small town of hopkinsville, kentucky. this is the largest party they have ever thrown. officially eclipseville for the big day, here is where the best of the darkness will be, and locals are over the moon. people used to say, where is hot skin —— hopkins no? it is a fantastic atmosphere. i love it. it‘s bringing out the best in everybody, and everybody‘s together, and i love it. to deal with the overwhelming preparations, this quiet community of 30,000 appointed a special solar eclipse co—ordinator, and mayor carter hendricks says this has been years in the making. about ten years ago, we got a phone call from a scientist

asking about the eclipse, and if they could book hotel rooms. that was the first i‘d heard of it. what also makes this an ideal location is is —— its expansive farmland. it is the perfect location to host the masses of spectators that have descended on this small town from all around the country and the world. the moment of totality will last two minutes and a0 seconds, here, but the memory will leave a permanent mark on this rural community. it is 12 minutes past eight. let‘s return to one of our main stories. last week‘s terrorist attack in barcelona, which left 13 people dead, took place at the height of the summer holidays, in one of europe‘s most popular tourist destinations. stephanie walton and aamer anwar werejust two of the brits caught up in the horror. stephanie, who joins us on the sofa, was visiting las ramblas for her partner‘s birthday. thank you for talking to us. how are

you feeling? ok. still a bit shaken. it isa you feeling? ok. still a bit shaken. it is a bit surreal still. i‘m really glad i‘m back home and safe. still very aware. for instance, i was watching tv the other night and i heard a similar sound and i insta ntly just i heard a similar sound and i instantly just kind of i heard a similar sound and i instantlyjust kind of shot up. i can‘t seemed to shift the noises and screams out of my head but i‘m ok. have you got friends and family around you ? have you got friends and family around you? earlier yes, have you got friends and family around you? earlieryes, i have you got friends and family around you? earlier yes, i have add somewhat support. while aamer, a human rights lawyer, was in the city for work. he joins us from glasgow. is it the same for you? is it the noises and the smells that remind you of what he went through? very much the same in terms of the images, the sounds and the screams.

i can't get the sound of this mother screaming hysterically because she had lost her children, not knowing what happened. when you watched the tv and saw the pictures of that young boy julian. last tv and saw the pictures of that young boyjulian. last night when i got home i held my children very closely and didn't want to let them go. closely and didn't want to let them 90 my closely and didn't want to let them go. my nine—year—old son, you find yourself breaking down at points you don't expect to break down. i normally consider myself to be quite strong. but the emotions come and go. there were different times i find myself on my own and you keep replaying the picture again and again. as the hours go by there is a feeling of guilt as well. i keep remembering the empty prams, i keep remembering the empty prams, i keep remembering the empty prams, i keep remembering the screams. i remember walking through las ramblas and just enjoying the scene. i described it asa enjoying the scene. i described it as a sea of humanity, every race, creed and religion was represented.

i was there without my children but i kept looking at children enjoying themselves. not knowing how they are, how their families are, little things keep coming back. it is hard. steph, i can see you nodding away there, where we see this on television, we often think how we would react in this situation — how did you react? not did you react? n ot exa ctly did you react? not exactly how i thought i would, because when you see previous attacks on tv, you see the emotional faces, the running. even when i watch films and stuff, you think, why are you freezing, just run! but when it first happened, ijust froze, and i didn‘t act or do anything like how i thought i would act, and it just anything like how i thought i would act, and itjust completely shocked you. it is a really scary thing to go through. you run your sister, didn‘t you? go through. you run your sister, didn't you? i couldn't get through to my mum, so i rang my sister, she

was crying her eyes out because she felt she couldn‘t do anything to help me, wanted them to know i was 0k. help me, wanted them to know i was ok. aamer, for you, and all me, not at all of this attack, but since then you have had some abuse, haven‘t you, online from people? yes, i have been the victim of hatred by the far right, the former leader of the edl claimed i was an isis lawyer, which was utter lies, and there has been a number of people saying they wish i was dead, that i should have been there ten seconds earlier, lots of vitriolic abuse about being a muslim, being pa rt of abuse about being a muslim, being part of the plot. normally in my work as a lawyer, i would not respond, but i have called it out because it does bring you to tears, andl because it does bring you to tears, and i don't see, when my family is

petrified, terrified, worrying for me, that they should have to read such abuse. they wouldn't dare say that to me face to face, and i wonder how they can think that they can direct this abuse at me. and i wonder sometimes what goes... for me, whether it be these far right extremists, just the other side of the coin, they are just different faces, different names, but no difference to the men who carried out this barbaric attack. and what i found shocking was that i said at the time, when i walked through there, it was a sea optimality. as a muslim, i have said my community has no immunity from the bombs and bullets, people who drive bands into crowds, and i was caught up in it. and for some reason, they don't want to accept that, because for me that is the solution — for people to realise that we stand together, every race , realise that we stand together, every race, creed, religion was represented on las ramblas, 3a nations that the big —— that the

victims came from. but the response of people from scotland and throughout the united kingdom has been amazing, thousands of people sort of providing support and standing up and saying that this is wrong, this is no solution. because for me, i think i am still in shock, but everybody always says, what is the solution? i do not know if there isa the solution? i do not know if there is a solution, but what makes things better is compassion, what makes things better is humanity. they are not cliches, that is the only way forward. yeah. and i saw that the next day, i went back to las ramblas in the morning, and as the hours progressed and you see the spot where the van stopped, now thousands and thousands of flowers, teddy bears, i was there when the first candle was laid, and for me that he finds, that spirit, that unity, that solidarity is really what we saw in

manchester, london and in barcelona. that is the only solution at the end of the day to this barbarism, to this inhumanity by these individuals. stephany, would you go back? yes. and you would as well? absolutely, i spoke to my son last night, and! absolutely, i spoke to my son last night, and i am determined to go back very soon, i want to go back, it isa back very soon, i want to go back, it is a beautiful city, and clearly the people who carry this out hate the people who carry this out hate the music, culture, art, a whole cross—section of society that is represented there, it is a beautiful city and i would most definitely go back. i know you both spoke to us immediately after the attack, so thank you for coming on and sharing your thoughts this morning. carol‘s here with this morning‘s weather. she‘s out at westminster as big ben prepares to fall silent.

good morning, everyone, you are quite right, because at noon today we will hear the bongs for the last time forup to we will hear the bongs for the last time for up to four years as essential maintenance work takes place on the clock and the chimes. the kind of work is is essential maintenance, but it is also going to be made more energy—efficient, there will be new amenities such as a lift, kitchen and its first—ever lavatory. as well as conservation work to the tower, the great clock will be dismantled piece by piece, and the four dials will be cleaned and the four dials will be cleaned and repaired. during that work, an electric motor will drive the hands until the main mechanism has been restored, so it will continue to tell the time. however, the faces will need to be temporarily covered while the clock is undergoing maintenance. so if you are coming down for that at noon today, to hear them for the last time in a wee

while, the weather, well, cloudy with some drizzle around. you might be lucky and see a glimmer of sunshine. you will still hear the bells chime at new year and also on the member on sunday and other special occasions. —— and also on remembrance sunday. restrain ensconced across counties, not particularly heavy, but there are heavy bursts in that line of rain. -- are heavy bursts in that line of rain. —— the rain is ensconced. the brighter, sunny as guys will be in the far east of eastern england and also eastern and north—eastern scotland. —— sunnier skies. also eastern and north—eastern scotland. —— sunnierskies. later that rain will have made its way northwards, getting towards the southern uplands, but the north—east are still hanging onto the sunshine. for north—west england, you will have the rain ensconced by four o‘clock in the afternoon, north—east england clouding over all the time before the arrival of the rain, but

still a sliver will hang onto brighter skies. that will continue all the way down to norfolk, but moved inland and we have all this cloud, breaking in places, still some drizzle coming out of thicker cloud. towards the south—west, the skype brightens, sunshine coming through, and it is the same for south wales. —— the skype brightens. we are also looking at rain across north wales, extending across the irish sea into northern ireland, where it will be quite heavy. through the evening and overnight, that band of rain will continue across all of northern ireland, northern england and most of scotland. behind it, a lot of cloud, murky conditions, a patchy mist and fog, and it will be a humid night, particularly in england and wales with temperatures not dipping lower than 17 here. tomorrow morning we start with rain across scotland continuing its journey across the

highlands, moving northwards, but behind all of that, a cloudy start with all that murk, and in this tropical air, embedded in with all that murk, and in this tropicalair, embedded in an with all that murk, and in this tropical air, embedded in an area of low pressure, highs of up to 28 in the channel islands, whiteley 22—25. scotland, in the rain, a little bit lower than that. —— widely. rain will be heaviest in scotland, breezy in the south, but some sunshine. the breeze is important, because at the moment we have got a southerly wind, which is why it is so humid. with this westerly, it will feel cooler, temperatures that bit lower. lower temperatures but delivered with a smile! a friendly pigeon behind the there as well, just having a little luck. added you know it was friendly?

is that pigeon behind you friendly? very friendly! motorists are being encouraged to share footage captured on dashcams with police, in an effort to crack down on dodgy driving. in the last year, a pilot scheme in north wales has seen action taken against more than 100 drivers who were filmed by fellow road—users. we should do a warning on this about really bad driving, this piece has a lot of bad driving in it, as lorna gordon has been finding out. an evening drive in fife earlier this year. violet was driving a short distance in her car on a road she knows well — when this happened. the driver of the other car blamed her for the crash, but violet used the footage recorded by her dashcam to show she‘d done nothing wrong. violet‘s car was written off, but the dashcam that proved her innocence followed her to her new one.

ijust sat in the car for a few minutes. i was quite shaky, so obviously, with having the dashcam, i believed that helped me. cos they were disputing, the other party was disputing. so the dashcam definitely helped me. dashcams record what the driver of a car sees on the road ahead. when there‘s an accident, the footage the dashcame records can prove whether the driver is in the clear or, indeed, whether they were at fault. some footage has ended up showing questionable behaviour out on our roads which could have put others at risk. in north wales, police investigate footage sent in by motorists. it‘s resulted in action against some drivers and has been so successful the scheme is about to be expanded. the footage is varied, that we get, some of which has been horrendous and shocking, and it‘s only right that,

as an organisation, we take it forward and prosecute that person. we cannot be everywhere for everyone, and it gives us an extra set of eyes on the road 2a/7, recording what is footage that can be used in court. insurers say dashcam footage can provide valuable evidence in the event of a crash. some companies lower their premiums for drivers who have the technology in their cars. an accurate record of what happened will mean the claim gets settled quicker. the second one is, if you are unlucky enough to be the victim of a cash—for—crash fraud scam, or even if you are being accused of something you have not done, you have really good evidence. we know know there have been court cases where people have used dashcam evidence to say, "this is what actually happened, and i know i wasn‘t to blame." campaign group big brother watch argues dashcams are a breach of privacy. violet says she would never drive without her dashcam now and believes our roads would be safer if we all had them in our cars.

lorna gordon, bbc news. it is incredible some of that footage, you just think, what on earth are they doing?! we have had loads of messages about it. raven says these are no different to cctv, no—one has been given permission to be filmed. we did mention that every police officer earlier. catherine says, i have wished i had a dashcam on more than one occasion. heidi says, i have sent some clips of awful driving to my police, and so far no response at all. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning. it will turn quite

warm in the next few days. summer is making a brief return. this morning it is quite cloudy and misty. outbreaks of rain moving north and east. it will affect much of northern ireland, western and south western scotland, north—west england and wales. a brighter skies in the south. the best of the sunshine in the north—eastern corner. through this evening that rain will move into the south—east. —— north east. misty conditions developing into tuesday. further heavy showers moving into north wales, northern ireland and the west of scotland. further south, some breaks in the cloud. it will turn quite warm.

maximum temperatures are to 2a degrees. even that warmth as far north as glasgow and newcastle. for details on the website. —— more details. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and ben bland. walking a trade tightrope — round one of talks between the us, canada and mexico are over. but can the three nations do what it takes to hold nafta together? live from london, that‘s our top story today, monday the 21st of august. the trading relationship is worth more than a trillion dollars a year, so can the members of nafta bridge their differences and save the troubled trade pact? also in the programme, the world‘s biggest oil producer gets cosy with it‘s fastest growing consumer, as russia‘s rosneft spends 13 billion dollars in india.
