8:00 am
good morning it's saturday, 16thjune . also this morning. theresa may says she's disappointed after one of her own mps blocked legislation to make upskirting a criminal offence. new health checks for the over—forties in england — they're to receive advice on how to reduce the risk of dementia. in sport, a world cup thriller, as ronaldo, scores a hat—trick against spain. this stunning late freekick made it 3—3, as both sides, served up a classic. and nick has the weather. some showers around for many of us. nowhere will be worked all day. sunny skies come back from the west as we go through the day. —— nowhere will be wet all day. your full weather forecast coming up. we will see you then, thank you. good morning our main story. a fire has devastated glasgow's world —famous school of art. the alarm was raised just after 11 o'clock last night and the mackintosh building was said to have been engulfed by flames within minutes. alexandra mckenzie joins us live
8:01 am
from the scene. it's been terrible overnight. the pictures are unbelievable. talk us through what you have learned this morning. i'm not sure how much you can see behind me, but this is very much an ongoing operation. firefighters have been here overnight. in my report earlier isaid it here overnight. in my report earlier i said it was up to or more than 60 firefighters. but at one point there was more than double that. when i arrived just after midnight it looks like the whole building was engulfed. the fire service said they arrived within minutes of getting the call. they said the fire was right from the bottom floor, right up right from the bottom floor, right up to the top floor. i have described this as an extensive fire, as extremely significant, but we did ask at a recent press conference if there have been any investigations into the fire so far. they said it
8:02 am
was too early. so we don't know what the cause of the fire is at this stage but they are still very much working on this ongoing operation. we have heard from the scottish secretary, david mundell, and he has said uk government stands ready to help financially or otherwise. this building has been called iconic by very many people this morning. a word which is overused. but it does show you just how important this building is. possibly not to just the people of glasgow, but also beyond. we've also heard many people say that they are just absolutely devastated by what has happened. we are not sure how much of this building will be left, but the description from the fire service suggests that the damage is extremely bad here. and particularly heartbreaking, bearing in mind this building was ravaged by fire four
8:03 am
yea rs building was ravaged by fire four years ago and was getting close to reopening. absolutely. the important thing to mention here is that there are no injuries. even though the fire did spread to a neighbouring building there have been no injuries. but it does make it even more significant when you put this into context. the fire service were saying that this is the second time that we have been here. only four yea rs that we have been here. only four years ago we attended a fire here. as you said, there has been a lot of work. a lot of money had been spent renovating and rebuilding. it is seen as art. based on the designs of charles rennie mackintosh. but we did ask the fire service if that work has now gone. it looks like it probably has. it doesn't look as if
8:04 am
it will open next year or anywhere close. yes, the language the fire service were using earlier was pretty damning, wasn't it? thank you for your update. let's bring you up—to—date with let's bring you up—to—date with other news. advice on preventing dementia will be added to the nhs health check for the first time, after a successful pilot project. the test, offered for free to people in england aged between a0 and 7a focuses on reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease. earlier on breakfast jamie waterall from public health england said evidence now shows dementia can be preventable and isn't just down to ageing. what we're trying to say is what is good for the heart is good for the brain so by taking those actions on those big risk factors like blood pressure, smoking, physical inactivity for example, you're not only benefiting your heart but you're benefiting your brain and reducing the risk of dementia in future life. theresa may says she is "disappointed" an attempt to make upskirting a criminal
8:05 am
offence in england and wales did not progress through parliament after one of her own mps blocked it. conservatives have criticised sir christopher chope for objecting to the private member's bill. if passed, the new law would have seen offenders who secretly take photos underneath victim's clothes sentenced to up to two years in jail. i was shocked, i was angry and i was disappointed and, for the record, i shouted "shame" very loudly after the member objected because it seems to me this is a case where the law has not kept up to date with what's happening in the modern world so parliament needs to be flexible, and parliament needs to react. let's talk to our political correspondent jonathan blake. there is some confusion. when we did an interview on this it felt like this would be passed through no problem because it had lots of support. that is what everybody was
8:06 am
expecting. it had backing of the government and support from all sides. but it only took one man and one word to stop it in its tracks. because this was a private members bill, a proposed new law which can be put forward by any mp at any time, some of them get a hearing in parliament. a lot of them don't amount to anything. but this one was expected to pass. this is always a danger in this procedure. 0ne expected to pass. this is always a danger in this procedure. one person shouting object is all it needs to get it thrown out. but the action was swift and strong. lots of mps shouting shame. looks on twitter expressing everything from disappointment are discussed. why did christopher chope do it? he hasn't spoken publicly. but he said that he didn't object to the
8:07 am
substance of the bill, in fact he didn't really know what upskirting was, it was more the fact it wasn't getting proper parliamentary debate and scrutiny. and he has done this many times before to different private members bills. but it seems to have hardened the government's resolve to legislate. the prime minister said last night she wanted proposals to be put forward soon, so it looks like eventually come into law after an embarrassing episode for government. thanks very much. hundreds of civilians are said to be trapped in their homes by the latest round of fighting in yemen. pro—government forces, backed by saudi arabia, are said to have the upper—hand in the battle to take the city of hudaydah. the port is a vital lifeline for aid supplies for millions of people threatened by famine. a mother seeking permission to use cannabis oil to treat her sick son has said he is in a life threatening condition. 12—year—old billy caldwell who has been at the centre of a dispute over the use of cannabis to treat his epilepsy has been admitted to hospital, suffering from seizures.
8:08 am
his mother, charlotte, says her son could die unless he receives cannabis oil. she travelled to canada to obtain more of the drug — which is illegal in the uk — but the supply was confiscated when she arrived at heathrow airport on monday. sinn fein could change its approach to abortion to ensure the party's mps in the irish republic support new legislation being introduced there. currently, it is not in favour of allowing abortion without restrictions during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. the issue will be debated at its annual conference in belfast. the party leadership have backed the change but some members say they should be able to vote according to their conscience. you might remember earlier in the week we told you the story of trevor the peacock who was looking for love. he had been keeping residents in a county durham village awake after being on the loose for more than two weeks. and here's the reason why... shrieks.
8:09 am
his shrieking is his mating call and he was causing sleepless nights for villagers after he was dumped by his peahen mate — bonnie. he is now set to be introduced to a new love interest called poppy. bird experts from blyth wildlife trust in northumberland spent more than an hour capturing him from a roof of a house. i don't know if he was trying to get away from poppy. he hasn't seen her yet? he was mourning the break—up with bonnie, who dumped him. he should have gone to dunfermline, apparently, somebody got in touch and said that peacocks have freedom of the city there. there are loads flying around there. really? well, he has found love, good luck, trevor and poppy.
8:10 am
peacock colours. yeah. in glasgow there is a major fire. earlier we spoke to chief officer peter heath from the scotland fire and rescue service. he has been talking about what they are doing to tackle displays at the art school. this building has extensive damage. it is damaged in every part of the building. ithink it is damaged in every part of the building. i think the people of glasgow and citizens far afield need to be prepared for what they are about to see because it is a seriously damaged building. fire crews have been working hard. the primary focus was to stop the fire spreading. we held it for some time but the fire did spread to an adjacent cinema theatre building adjoining it. fire crews were in that building early on trying to extinguish the fire. the conditions we re extinguish the fire. the conditions were so much they had to withdraw.
8:11 am
the adjacent buildings in sauchiehall street which comprises a theatre and other shops have suffered damage. that is the area of our focus. we have suffered damage. that is the area of ourfocus. we have the suffered damage. that is the area of our focus. we have the fire under control. we are continuing to work and dampen down. with partial roof colla pses and dampen down. with partial roof collapses and the like it becomes difficult to get to the fire. crews are continuing their work. at other buildings have been damaged along sauchiehall street. we are still in the operational phase. we are working with our partners to get the city back to normal, to get the fire out, and do the final checks to make sure everybody is safe and well. at this stage is to —— at this stage it is too early to tell. joining us down with pauline mclean, our arts correspondent. ——joining down with pauline mclean, our arts correspondent. —— joining us now is. put into context the significance of this building. because it isn'tjust iconic in glasgow, but around the
8:12 am
world. absolutely. and this has been shocking and heartbreaking news. many of us thought it was some kind of mistake, a repeat of previous news, because it is four years since the previous fire. and those images that we have all seen. we've come through the whole period of rebuilding and getting the money together for the campaign to restore the building. we werejust together for the campaign to restore the building. we were just weeks away from being given access to the building. particularly the library, which was so badly damaged and had to be repaired and restored. we were about to have one last glimpse before the building packed up and got ready for the final stage before it completely reopened in the spring or summer of next year. it is shocking news that this has all been put back. it is his masterpiece. the other horrible piece of timing is that just a week and other horrible piece of timing is thatjust a week and a half ago it was the 150th anniversary of the birth of charles rennie mackintosh. there has been lots of events to
8:13 am
celebrate that. a whole building which has been restored. a tea room which has been restored. a tea room which has been restored. a tea room which has been restored just around the corner from the school of art. but the school of art itself remained his masterpiece. that is partly because of the scale of the building, the detail of it, and because of the fact that it has remained until 2014, certainly, a working building. it is a work of art but it is also a working art school. that's always been really important to it. it has survived because it has been surrounded by people who understood the importance of it. people would use it, study in it, and tourists could visit it. it was very much a living building and i think that is why people have taken it so much to heart and will be so heartbroken to hear that it has been put back so dramatically. we are looking at images from before the fire. it looks so stunning and such a special place. the language
8:14 am
being used by the fire service this morning, obviously it is early days and they will have to do their investigations, but they have said that the people of glasgow should prepare themselves for what is significant damage. absolutely. and a look at the library... at the end of last year, part of this process, four years it took, first of all it was about the people there, students recovering some of their work and getting on. don't forget a whole year group of students have come through in those four years. those before the previous fire have moved on. and the building, the campaign to get the money, people like brad pitt and peter capaldi giving their support. peter ca paldi was pitt and peter capaldi giving their support. peter capaldi was a student there. there is so much love for the building. so much effort went into that campaign to raise the money. they are still raising money. more money is to be announced. that whole campaign. the library, in particular, it is heartbreaking to
8:15 am
see again. because i stood, a year ago, inside the model of the replacement library, which i believe had all gone back into the building. and from what we understand this morning all of that has gone, too. thanks very much. the pictures are ha rd to thanks very much. the pictures are hard to take in. it is like deja vu. four years on. thank you for your time. thanks forjoining us. devastating. we will keep you up—to—date with what is happening. firefighters are still tackling the blaze there. this is not really a weekend that we have to complain about and that is news from me! chuckles there is some rain and sunshine around. it isn't a wash—out for anybody. but if your garden is looking dry you might appreciate some rain. here is a picture from one of our weather watchers. a few
8:16 am
brea ks one of our weather watchers. a few breaks in the cloud. but more widely this afternoon we will see some showers developing. tomorrow, lots of cloud around. across western parts you can see patchy rain. let's get some detail. it is raining at the moment, looking at this. low pressure in the north—west. the closer you are to that, scotland, northern ireland, northern england, the greater chance of heavy downpours today. an area of rain slowly moving across scotland. you could see a rumble of thunder with this, as well. the northern isles staying dry. northern ireland saw some rain overnight but it is warming up. heavy and thundery rain further northern england. but there will be sunny spells later. for the midlands, wales, and the south—west, there has been patchy rain this morning, but there will be sunny patches later. east anglia and south—east england have lots of
8:17 am
cloud, mainly dry, patchy light rain at times, then later and little bright enough but with a few showers. the temperatures are lower than they have been. particularly compared with yesterday. a bit of a breeze in the south—east. the showers will clear away. as we go into the night, it'll be dry and clear for a into the night, it'll be dry and clearfor a time. into the night, it'll be dry and clear for a time. temperatures will drop away. not terribly low, but some areas in single figures. north—east england and scotland will have cloud increasing. let's take a look at sunday... a few sunny spells. north—east scotland faring well. sunspots done the eastern side of england too. but expect a good deal of cloud around and dry weather. but for wales, western parts of england, from northern ireland and south—west scotland there will be some patchy rain at times. not amounting to two much. fairly breezy across the uk. —— not
8:18 am
amounting to too much. and south—east england it'll get even warmer into next week. a bit of everything this weekend. but not everything this weekend. but not everything that you don't like, if you know what i mean? chuckles exactly. thanks very much. the time is nearly 8:20am, good morning. from anti—freeze to lemon coloured snails that could potentially fight cancer, the oceans of antarctica are full of unique animals that scientists hope could hold the key to some major global problems. members of the british antarctic survey in cambridge, spend months diving in freezing waters. 0ur science correspondent, richard westcott has been given special access to the creatures they bring back to study. up top, antarctica is a frozen desert. but venture beneath the ice and its waters are teeming with life. creatures that hold clues to how the animal world will cope with climate change.
8:19 am
we have been given a rare behind—the—scenes glimpse at some of the creatures scientists have brought back to the uk to study and there are some bizarre animals, believe me. this is one of my favourite creatures. so it's just like the other starfish we were looking at. except one obvious and very obvious difference. can you flip it over so we can see the mouth? yeah. this one may be that it would take a whole limpet... in fact, it might well have something in their that it's feeding on. studying these animals could help save lives. from the sea spider that can grow as big as a dinner plate, to the starfish that looks a bit like bagpuss. many are full of natural antifreeze that could be useful in the medical world. the humble sea lemon has no predators. the chemical putting them off might also fight cancer or infections. so there's a range of animals within the antarctic from things like this to sponges and other animals that have grown on the rocks
8:20 am
and they could potentially have really important chemicals for human society. so it's like the rainforest where you find medicines. absolutely, yes. you go through the ice and suddenly it's all pitch black and as your eyes adjust, you look up and you've got this amazing ice cover with the colours, the browns, the greens, it's like this almost cathedral—like feeling. and then obviously i sink to the bottom and start my work and i could be anywhere. living in 0 degrees waters makes these animals grow much slower and much bigger than usual. so this is the same group of animals as the woodlice you find grow in your garden but obviously one major difference, it's pretty big. and this is another example of polar gigantism, so where animals, because of the cold, because of the cold water they live in, can actually be bigger. from health and food supply to the impact of warmer oceans, these animals are helping us to understand the world our children will grow up in. richard westcott, bbc news, cambridge. you think it has come from
8:21 am
cambridge, you open the box, and then they think, i wish i was at home. time now for a look at the newspapers. the writer and columnist, tim walker is here to tell us what's caught his eye. good morning. did you love those shots from the antarctic? stunning. 0n the subject of global warming and the environment, you have chosen a story from the telegraph about prince charles and his eco—credentials. prince charles and his eco-credentials. absolutely. generations ahead will look back and wonder why on earth it took us so long to switch over to electric ca rs. long to switch over to electric cars. because long to switch over to electric ca rs. because our long to switch over to electric cars. because our cities with petrol
8:22 am
and diesel fumes, fewer now after we have started to clamp down belatedly on that, but the air quality in our cities doesn't have to be so poor. prince charles, the campaign on climate change and issues like that, has already got a wine—fuelled aston martin. wine-fuelled? apparently it isn't good wine! chuckles anyway, he has test driven a tesla model s. he had no less than the chief executive of the company to show him how to use it. sadly he did not buy one. he is likely to go for a land rover, an electric version of that. but i think it does show the way ahead. prince charles, in his quiet way, is setting us all an
8:23 am
example. you know what people say when we do look back we don't have the infrastructure. that's the thing. i'm sure lots of people would like to have won if the prices came down and there were easily accessible charging points so you don't have to worry about being stranded. and vested interest. people have a lot of interest to sell petrol. so maybe that's why it's taken a lot of time to do the research into it. the by-election in lewisham east. janet da by research into it. the by-election in lewisham east. janet daby won it. absolutely. i went along to see the campaign. the by—election is an interesting barometer of how things are going. i'll admit, interesting barometer of how things are going. i'lladmit, i have a interesting barometer of how things are going. i'll admit, i have a soft spot for the lib dems. but on a low turnout that actually saw a very impressive swing. they won just 4.4% of the vote at the last election. the now they have moved up to second place from the tories. —— 0.4% of
8:24 am
the vote. i think there is a quiet comeback that vince cable in his quiet way is overseeing. it says a lot about what people are thinking, i think, lot about what people are thinking, ithink, in lot about what people are thinking, i think, in the country. this was a seat that had voted largely remained. so maybe not surprising the lib dems would do well in that climate. —— remain. the lib dems would do well in that climate. -- remain. the lib dems feel anxious because of the remain thing. it is a conjugated issue. the people who come out to vote are the ones who bothered to vote in the eu referendum. and they are the ones that voted at the general election. what struck me, not political, per se, but the turnout. so low. it does make me think that people are so sick of the debate on brexit and what is happening. they seem to be so turned off by politics. something
8:25 am
needs to be done to enlighten that. i agree. 0scar needs to be done to enlighten that. i agree. oscar wilde said the relationship is an extended conversation. politics has to be as well. we have to move the conversation forward. democracy only works when enough people are interested. a spat between a couple of neighbours. robbie williams and jimmy page from led zeppelin. who knows the truth. but insidejimmy page's house is stunning. a victorian architect created the interior. it's extraordinary. this reminds me of an old episode of stella street. robbie williams bought the house that used to belong to michael winner. his neighbour, jimmy page, who bought the house in turn from richard harris, they have done nothing but few over robbie williams‘ vast basement he wants to
8:26 am
build underneath his garden. although we might all fantasise about having these multi—million pound houses, and so on, but if you do not have good neighbours i would sooner be living in a tiny place. everybody needs good neighbours! exactly. with a little understanding! chuckles we will talk to you in about an hour. thanks very much. we are with our viewers on bbc one at nine o‘clock. matt will be taking over in the saturday kitchen. how was your expansion? my what? we were wondering how people get on with their neighbours. we get on just fine, let's not start any trouble. are you glad it is me, by the way, so are you glad it is me, by the way, so you don't have to get michel roux jr's name wrong again? sorry, nigel, what was that? nice. we have martin
8:27 am
kemp ear. i feel like a regular. -- martin kemp here. i will be taking over your spot soon. heaven or hell? i have just come back from vietnam. i really enjoyed the food out there. nice, clean flavours. what about hell? trout. it's boni. you don't get much meat. the bones are deadly, so get much meat. the bones are deadly, so that is my food hell. —— it's bony. what are you making? a portuguese chinese hash, perfect for father's day. lovely dress, by the
8:28 am
way. ed hughes is in charge of the drinks today, looking forward to lots of beer. it was beer day britain yesterday, so we thought we would bring beer along for all of the dishes. you guys at home are in charge of weather martin eats heaven or hell. i know what i want. —— in charge of whether martin eats heaven or hell. thanks, we've just got some interesting messages from your neighbours. we have, how could you do that, nigel! you have been bribed. the headlights coming up in one minute... —— headlines. hello, this is breakfast,
8:29 am
with naga munchetty and jon kay. coming up before nine, nick will be here with the weather. and mike will have the sport. but first, a summary of this morning‘s main news. a fire has devastated glasgow‘s world —famous school of art. the alarm was raised just after 11 o‘clock last night and the mackintosh building was said to have been engulfed by flames within minutes. it was undergoing a multi—million pound restoration project following a similar blaze four years ago. earlier we spoke to chief officer of the scotland fire and rescue service who said the building had been extensively damaged. this building has extensive damage. it is damaged in every part of the
8:30 am
building, it has all been involved infire and building, it has all been involved in fire and people and citizens of glasgow and people further afield need to be prepared for what they will see in next few hours which is a seriously damaged building. theresa may says she is "disappointed" an attempt to make upskirting a criminal offence in england and wales did not progress through parliament after one of her own mps blocked it. conservatives have criticised sir christopher chope for objecting to the private member‘s bill. if passed, the new law would have seen offenders who secretly take photos underneath victims‘ clothes sentenced to up to two years in jail. hundreds of civilians are said to be trapped in their homes by the latest round of fighting in yemen. pro—government forces, backed by saudi arabia, are said to have the upper—hand in the battle to take the city of hudaydah. the port is a vital lifeline for aid supplies for millions of people threatened by famine. advice on the prevention of dementia will be added to the nhs health check for the first time following a successful pilot project.
8:31 am
the test is offered for free to people in england aged between 40 and 74 and currently focusses on reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease. experts say choices that improve the health of the heart can also help the brain. some things happening, i can‘t quite put my fever on it. russia something? involving a ball? after last night, that last—minute free kick... if i had shorts are not i would be pulling them up tight! a lot of debate about whether ronaldo is the greatest player of all time. every tournament now since 2004 he has scored eight consecutive tournament. and always so humble
8:32 am
about it! but the arrogance and swagger, that is right... if you are good enough, use it, we want that for england. talking of them, they have some swagger and confidence. all very relaxed still for the injury problems over. we can talk to a war correspondent out there with the england team in russia, david 0rnstein. and we need to mention your little spell on the oche against a certain england goalkeeper but we can mention the fact i played jordan pickford at darts but maybe not the result! it was a best-of-s competition that he won 40—11. it is symptomatic of eight relaxed england camp in high spirits. four years ago in brazil it was on an army base they were staying and the media did not get close to them. two years ago at the european championships we we re at the european championships we were not even allowed to talk to the
8:33 am
players about the interval darts competition, now we are playing against them. yesterday it was my turn, the day before a journalist from the daily mail, all in good spirit but the problem for the journalists is we are losing 2—0 in what is becoming a daily competition and we had up our game! welcome to repino on the gulf of finland, you can see st petersburg in the background with the england camp in the forest where they make their final preparations for that game on monday and it is getting exciting. watch out for the moose, they can be dangerous! puttable is getting serious, a final day of training before heading off tomorrow. —— the football is getting serious. that's right, the training session today is fully behind closed doors and that is when you might expect england to put their starting line—up in position because the media will not be filming anything on no prying eyes. we know that england have a full squad up 23 available and fully fit and ready to go which means
8:34 am
marcus rashford, after missing a couple of days of training with a knee problem, is back at full intensity. we have heard suggestions through the press that gareth southgate will play ashley young at left back instead of ashley rose —— danny rose, harry mcguire in for gary cahill and jordan henderson ahead of eric dier but it is said to be confirmed and we have heard gareth southgate is yet to tell his players if they are playing or not. that will come when they fly to volgograd tomorrow, southgate will hold a press conference tomorrow evening and we will see them training in the morning and on monday it is gametime and awaiting will be over. the nation, which has admitted expectations i think for this england squad, will tune in and see how england get on against tunisia. thank you, it looks beautiful there. today we‘ll get a chance to see lionel messi in action, but last night it was all about cristiano ronaldo. he scored a hat—trick as portugal drew 3—3 with spain in their opening group game.
8:35 am
elsewhere, there were late wins for uruguay and iran but friday‘s headlines were written by ronaldo, as ben croucher reports. not all heroes wear capes. some wear the number seven. cristiano ronaldo, a man whose talents are spelt out, whseo superpowers have this world cup at his feet. and the world cup sees cristiano ronaldo at his absolutely scintillating best. that best came in book ending a breathtaking contest against spain, winning and scoring a fourth—minute penalty. in diego costa, though, spain have a striker built with strength and a sixth sense of where the goal is. ronaldo was not letting him hog the limelight. this effort proved david de gea‘s kryptonite and portugal were ahead again. as costa equalised, this game was fast becoming a world cup classic. all it needed was a goal to match. and driven into the back of the net! an absolute peach of a goal by nacho
8:36 am
to put spain in front! no topping that, right? remember that portuguese superhero? it‘s ronaldo. 0h, he‘s done it! he has only gone and done it! 3—3, tres—tres, a thriller in any language. sometimes defensive teams win but i‘m happy we can watch games like this where two teams really going for it and hopefully an amazing world cup is coming ahead. elsewhere in the group, iran against morocco was not going to live up to that. it did give the fans an excuse to dig out the face paints but offered little in the way of artistry. the game‘s only goal came in stoppage time, morocco‘s aziz bouhaddouz with the header at the wrong end. flat on the canvas. the artwork in yekaterinburg was more like it but egypt‘s mo salah painted a gloomy figure. benched on his birthday, unable to shoulder any blame.
8:37 am
for all of uruguay‘s firepower, a defender was their hero. jose gimenez giving the two—time champions a 1—0 win. it isa it is a huge day ahead. so today kicks off with one of the favourites, france against australia. that‘s on bbc one. argentina against iceland is at 2pm, with the first ever meeting between peru and denmark at 5pm. the late kick—off sees croatia open their tournament against nigeria, that game on 5 live. an update on yesterday. finally, archilles the psychic cat, has done it again after using his taste buds to predict russian beating saudi arabia, he went onto to correctly call that iran would beat morroco. he only forecasts games taking place in his home city of st petersberg, and put his rival r2d2, known as the psychic sausage, in his place. he‘s known for sniffing a result but his winning run is over
8:38 am
for the confused hound, who ate all the spanish chorizo, but didn‘t go near the portugese sardines, but this prediction, that spain would win, was undone by ronaldo‘s free kick. while if you don‘t want to know the england score as forecast by russian meerkats, look away now. after a tight and opening, very congested midfield, the meercats favoured the england goal rather the tunisia one, so predicting a convincing england win. there is food there! that is fixed! england win. listen to the meerkats! but not be psychic sausages. —— not the sausages. there is gulf news! world number one dustin johnson, is the only player under par, at the halfway point, of the us open, with a host of big names, failing to even make the cut. included in that bunch is rory mcilroy —
8:39 am
who finished on 10 over par — 14 shots off the lead. also missing this weekend are tiger woods, sergio garcia and jason day, but english trio justin rose, ian poulter and tommy fleetwood are just five off the pace. england‘s women cricketers have won their one—day series against south africa, thanks to a seven—wicket victory, in the deciding third match at canterbury. having been set 229 to win, opener tammy beaumont, scored a second successive century and england reached their target with six overs to spare, and win the series, 2—1. later this morning, england‘s men take on australia in cardiff, leading their one day series 1—0. andy murray will decide later whether he‘s fit enough to play at queen‘s club next week. the former world number one played some practice sets yesterday. murray had a hip operation, injanuary, and hasn‘t played since wimbledon, last year. if he does not play at queens he

only has eastbourne to make any headway before playing at wimbledon. let‘s hope for good news. mention penalties to any england fan and they will break out in a cold sweat but when it comes to the knock—out stage in russia, matches could once again be decided by a penalty shoot—out, and england know the pain like no other nation. 1990, 96, 98, 2004, 2006 and 2012. basically every time! however, it doesn‘t have to be this way, and to help i‘ve been to learn from the best penalty taker of all time. (vt) face to face with the best penalty taker the game has ever seen in this showdown at 12 yards. in all his professional career, matt le tissier missed just one of 49 penalties but even though i did not stand a chance, he was not brave enough to look me in the eye! i went the right
8:41 am
way. and i realised why the. look me in the eye! i went the right way. and i realised why thelj look me in the eye! i went the right way. and i realised why the. i did not like to make eye contact with the goalkeeper at all, i did not wa nt to the goalkeeper at all, i did not want to give him any clues so my focus would be on the ball orjust above it so i could see what the goalkeeper was doing and what his movements were like, if he went to early. for me, this alone did not make much difference. 0h early. for me, this alone did not make much difference. oh no. you need to be at that angle, not this angle. the runner—up is quite slow and before the ball you almost accelerate into it and get the speed of the ball. post! practice your technique side footing the ball accurately. there we go! matt believes that, like mick matt tarrant young england side will have learned from the past
8:42 am
and the nightmares of penalty shoot out defeats, like the one manager gareth southgate was part in 1996. you have to work really hard on dismissing all the negative thoughts that go through your head when you‘re stepping up to take a penalty. i used to imagine the crowd erupting when i the penalty. yes! said the deeper the wrong way. i have relegated to ball boy as the youngsters from the fa skill school learn from the best penalty taker of all time. strike it as hard as you can with the inside of the port. don‘t worry about him moving. it might go to the left! said the deeper the wrong way! there you go. if this is the future, penalty pain will surely be the scourge of previous generations. he said don't worry about where the keeper is going to hit the corner. don't look at where you're going to go. aim to
8:43 am
know where you‘re going and you can sit there and the goalkeeper can go the other way. full of confidence but still a bit haunted by the past... how do we think england are going to do any penalty shoot out? terrible! terrible?! this is where you need to start at the age you need to be training people to get good at penalties. and one-year-old ruben sent the goalkeeper the wrong way! kane and company, i hope you‘re watching! set in 2038, is ruben is in the sticker book, we can say we saw his first penalty. we might use him this time! i think england will be better prepared thanks to that experienced gareth southgate had. they are certainly not under practice. can we just not predict anything?” certainly not under practice. can we just not predict anything? i will ask the meerkat but not the sausage. we will just ask the meerkat but not the sausage. we willjust enjoy it. otherwise it makes us know that —— nervous.
8:44 am
we willjust enjoy it. otherwise it makes us know that -- nervous. you know who else is chilled this morning? nick. he is not getting any grief from me at least about the weather because there is a bit of everything this morning. i don‘t want to call it too early, there is still some time left. let‘s have a look at what we are expecting. a bit of sunshine around, not a huge amount but glimmers of it particularly in southern parts of the uk. for others it is raining to start the day, some rain around today, claiming to sunshine and showers for money. tomorrow, a good deal of cloud but looking dry. we have a weather system is working across the uk, this low—pressure anchored to the north—west feeding the weather front and the closer you are to the low pressure, the heavier the rain. it will push through scotla nd the rain. it will push through scotland and northern england this morning with heavy bursts and maybe
8:45 am
a rumble of thunder. scotland has the rain moving through with the northern isles staying dry, the west and south of scotland having some sunshine by the end of the day. sunnis both developing in northern ireland, scattered showers, sunny spells of following the rain in northern england but scattered showers, may be heavy and thundery full wales, south—west england, the midlands with sunny skies with the risk of a shock of east anglia and the south—east, a lot of cloud, mainly dry. 0nly late on with it brightened up but there could be a showerfor brightened up but there could be a shower for you brightened up but there could be a showerfor you then. brightened up but there could be a shower for you then. temperatures, cooler than it has been, moderate to fresh south—westerly breeze so the mid to high teens. this evening we have some showers down the eastern side and there could be a heavy one. they move away and we have clearer skies and drier weather and temperatures dipping away a bit soap where it stayed clearest for longest in eastern scotland and north—east england, maybe four or 5 degrees, cloud increasing in the west later
8:46 am
so the temperature is holding up in double figures. that cloud is moving infor double figures. that cloud is moving in for the weather on sunday. it will spread east, even when you start so the it will increase, some sunnis both in north—east scotland at times across eastern england where it will stay dry but from the thicker cloud in the west in parts of south—west england and wales and northern ireland, western scotland, maybe some in the higher ground of north—west england, there will be some patchy rain. not amounting to much but making a damp look for a time on sunday. temperatures are fairly similar compared to today, a little bit higher in the south—east given any brightness that comes through. looking at next week, there is some warmth coming, especially in parts of england and wales. a north—south split for a time, the further north you are, more likely to have cloud and the chance of some rain. in the south, it is more
8:47 am
likely to stay dry with some sunshine and have temperatures heading up to the mid 20s. the second half of next week it looks like the pressure will be building across the uk and most places will be settling down with little cloud and sunny spells. that is the week on whether and a look at next week. you have nailed it and you have finished on a high by looking ahead! i know my audience! thank you very much. the main stories this morning... a fire has extensively damaged glasgow‘s world famous school of art for the second time in four years. the prime minister says she‘s disappointed after one of her own mps blocked legislation to make upskirting a criminal offence. two severely disabled people were unlawfully discriminated against and had their human rights breached by the government

when they had to move homes and had their benefits cut. that was the ruling by the high court this week, after the claimants lost more than £170 a month because they were transfered to the new system of universal credit. paul lewis, who presents radio 4‘s money box, has been studying their case. he joins us now from our london newsroom. it is another one where people will be just it is another one where people will bejust thinking on it is another one where people will be just thinking on what?! absolutely and the judge almost said that as well! it was a case of two men, separately, one had mental disabilities, one had severe physical disabilities. they had moved house because of the consequence of what had happened to them. because they moved house, they moved from one area of the country to another and as you know, universal credit is replacing a lot of other means tested benefits and being rolled out all over the country by the end of the year. they moved into an area where they had universal credit. because they had
8:49 am
moved, they were taken off the existing benefits they got and put on universal credit. it pays severely disabled people a lot less. don‘t ask me why but it does. when they were moved, their benefit was cut, actually by about £175 per month. thejudge said cut, actually by about £175 per month. the judge said they had cut, actually by about £175 per month. thejudge said they had been unlawfully discriminated against because, in his words, it was ma nifestly because, in his words, it was manifestly without reasonable foundation. what does it mean now in terms of other people moving in between boroughs? before the judgment come a few days before, the secretary of state, esther mcvey, announced that in future cases people in that position would not have their benefit cut until there was a transitional protection money in place. that is good news. but the bad news is we checked for the department yesterday and it said that this could not start until the law was changed and that was not
8:50 am
going to happen until the autumn so there will still be people in this position who are moved and who lose their severe disability premiums, as these two men, the petition is not that clear. their lawyers are arguing strongly that they should be paid this extra money but the department has said it is appealing against thejudgment. department has said it is appealing against the judgment. even their position is not completely certain but the lawyer was hopeful she would get the money for them at least. when people hear that money has been depleted from some things you think it makes it difficult to live, but you look at how it changes the standard of living, that is what is shocking, especially when people are already vulnerable. it is and i spoke to one of these men, he has an anonymity order through the court. he has severe mental illness. part of his treatment is going out and doing a bit of socialising at a coffee club or book club, and indeed seeing his family, his
8:51 am
grandchildren. because of this change, he can no longer afford to do that. he is confined to his house and he told me yesterday that his mental condition is getting worse as a result and that after he won he said it was like a dream at the end ofa said it was like a dream at the end of a nightmare and that is right they hope very much they will get they hope very much they will get the money soon. it is notjust £175 a month, it is everything for non—essentials and he even told me he could not afford food properly and was going to food bags as many people on universal credit to forcibly was putting on weight because he ate junk food because forcibly was putting on weight because he atejunk food because it was cheaper and he said in the winter he was shivering under a blanket because he could not afford his eating. that is the real consequence of losing this money for these people. i know you are doing more about this bullseye will read out the department of work and bridgen statement. "the government is committed to enjoy a strong system of support is in place for paul noble people who are unable to work." there is more on money box at
8:52 am
midday —— for vulnerable people. tributes have been paid to the actor, leslie granthan who died yesterday. he found fame as the roguish pub landlord "dirty den" in ‘eastenders‘. every one remembers that scene at christmas. drama followed him on and off screen. he had a troubled start in life but went on to captivate viewers as dennis watts with 30 million people tuning in to watch him serve divorce papers to his wife ange in the soap opera. the actor vicki michelle was a long—standing friend of his and performed with him on stage. shejoins us now. thank you forjoining us. one of those people, those faces that we all recognise and i guess we all feel we knew him but what was the really like? he was fabulous, i knew
8:53 am
him back when we used to fill at elstree because allo allo was on one set and the eastenders was on another. i did a play with him when we toured all over and it was a play and the terrible thing was that he actually was playing a cancer patient in it. he was my love interest and i leave my husband for him. he was great to work such with, a lovely bloke. he was a man‘s man. he was always sort of cheeky and had that sparkle and women absolutely adored him. all the time we were touring, women would come up to him, oh my god, it‘s dirty den, we love you! will you sign this? can i have a photo? he was known as dirty den a lwa ys a photo? he was known as dirty den
8:54 am
always although he did a lot of other work. did him that in the eyes of millions he forever dirty den?” don‘t think so, he took it in good stead. and as i say, women used to stop in the street but i think he loved by women and men. he had that bad boy image. a lot of the part he played, even the last part in the krays comey played a bad boy and thatis krays comey played a bad boy and that is what women love about him and it did not bother him that he was known, i was going to say allo allo, but for the eastenders! people really loved hi m allo, but for the eastenders! people really loved him and they remembered him and that is flattering, the general public actually took him to their hearts and he will always be remembered for that character. you talk about the bad boy image of dirty den, also in his personal life he beat headlines on numerous
8:55 am
occasions with something about chequered past that he hit the headlines. what did he make of that side of fame? because it was intrusive? i think he took it on the chin. the journalists want an angle and if you are popular and a figure the general public love, they want to find something out on you. i think hejust took to find something out on you. i think he just took it as it happened. i think les would just deal with it. he did not dwell on things, and he was a very strong character. i always used to say about leslie that he was very cool. he was someone that people looked up to as far as men, they wanted to be like him and have that sparkle. not a lot of people are cool and that is what he was. and he was lovely to
8:56 am
act with as well. we had a great time forcibly was a bit of a prankster and also liked a drink with the boys. it did not really affect symbol you did not see it, if it did, did not show it. he was very good at guarding his emotions so you did not see that side. talking about the incredible viewing figures for that famous bender on christmas day when he served and she with the divorce papers —— that famous eastenders. i don‘t know it we will see characters again full subdued think they are gone? i hope not because they are such strong characters and we need them on television. that is why everybody watched eastenders because they wanted to see the dominant character, and anita dobson, she was fantastic in that role. leslie was so good in the role and became the character. i hope we do have strong
8:57 am
characters like that because the general public love them. we will never get millions of viewers again because there are too many programmes now and too many stations, but he certainly made his mark on the general public and he was loved by the nation. thank you very much. thank you for sharing your memories of leslie grantham who died yesterday. we‘re just going to bring you date with what has been happening at glasgow. there was a blaze at the school of art, firefighters have been tackling it overnight. we spoke to be chief fire officer earlier who was saying, there is no spec elation as to the cause but the mainjob there is no spec elation as to the cause but the main job was to bring it under control that the speculation. there was concerned about other buildings in the area, cinema and a nightclub and some shops. the language used by the fire service this morning has been very

negative about the state of the building. they say that it is significantly, extensively damaged, possibly more than the fire their four years ago. all eyes on glasgow this morning. this is where viewers on bbc one leave us. join us on the bbc news channel where we‘ll bring you the headlines at 9. hello this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. a massive blaze at glasgow‘s world —famous school of art. it‘s the second time the mackintosh building has been badly damaged by fire in four years. people, the citizens of glasgow, and people further afield, will have to prepare themselves for what is a seriously damaged building. good morning it‘s saturday the 16th ofjune. also this morning:
