good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. our headlines today: no baths, car washing or hosepipes — water companies warn customers to urgently cut usage as demand surges in the heatwave. from varicose vein operations to snoring surgery — new nhs plans to cut procedures it says are a waste of money and often don't work. hopes for an end to uncertainty for workers at the port talbot steel plant as a merger deal is agreed. as the world cup reaches the knock—out stage, fifa suggest that harry kane's treatment against tunisia prompted a var clampdown. good morning, quite a bit of cloud this morning at it will melt away. another hot and sunny day with temperatures whooshing into the low 20s in the hottest areas. —— pushing into the low 30s. i will tell you how hot it will get later on.

truly immersive theatre — we'll find out how a magical watery performance is helping children with severe learning disabilities. it's saturday 30th june. our top story: water companies across the uk are warning customers to urgently cut back on how much they use amid increased demand during the current heatwave. the first hosepipe ban to be introduced in northern ireland in nearly 25 years came into force last night, while united utilities has warned a ban could follow in north—west england, as peter ruddick reports. as the mercury rises, the water flows. however, it's the scale of the increased demand during the recent heatwave that is beginning to seriously worry utility firms. in rugby, bottle stations have opened up as a precaution amid fears a nearby water storage facility could run dry this weekend. customers are being asked to conserve supplies and it's a story being played out across the country. severn trent says people are using about one third more

water than normal. it's led to several disruptions and outages already and they're asking everyone to act neighbourly. in the north—west, united utilities says it needs urgent help, or they may be forced to introduce a hosepipe ban on monday. they've asked people not to wash their cars or take baths this weekend. a ban is already in place in northern ireland. it came into effect on friday evening. it is the first to be imposed in the nation for nearly a quarter of a century. it is a legal instrument and there are consequences of breaking the hosepipe ban. but in essence, we need peoplejust to be responsible and to volunteer not to use hoses. if people do that, then there will be enough water for all. the problem is not a lack of water. many reservoirs are actually nearly full after a rainy spring. however, huge spikes in peaktime demand mean companies are struggling to treat the water quick enough, so it is ready to be supplied to our homes. with hot and dry conditions set to continue into next week, both weather and water warnings could be here to stay. peter ruddick, bbc news.

we'll be speaking to united utilities about the current situation, at 8:10 this morning. the nhs in england has set out plans to stop hundreds of thousands of patients every year receiving treatments which it says are useless or too risky. it's drawn up a list of procedures including tonsil removal, breast reductions, and snoring surgery — as jon donnison reports. nhs england says it wants to stop people having treatment that are either ineffective or pose too many risks. it has drawn up a list of 17 procedures, including snoring and varicose veins surgery, knee arthroscopies for osteoarthritis, and steroid injections for non—specific back pain. in all of these, the health body says there's little evidence the treatments work or that the side effects and risks outweigh the rewards. but some doctors have questioned those beliefs and say patients will either miss out or be forced to pay for private treatment that would actually give

them some relief. the proposals have still to be put out for consultation, but nhs england says they could mean 100,000 fewer unnecessary treatments a year, saving around £200 million. it says the money could then be reinvested in front—line cancer care, mental health, and other critical services. jon donnison, bbc news. the army will stay on saddleworth moor in greater manchester throughout the weekend and into next week to help keep control of moorland blazes which have been burning for six days. 0n winter hill in neighbouring lancashire, where grass fires broke out on thursday, a man has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life. 0ur reporter kevin fitzpatrick is there. kevin, ican

kevin, i can see the smoke looming behind you. it is still very much a blaze. you are wearing protection around your neck, face mask, because it must really be strong, the smell of the smoke there. it is, we are not downwind of it thank goodness but when we are up on top of the hill one hour ago it was sickening to taste, the smell is into our clothes already and you can feel it on the back of the throat and it shows no sign of backing down, the wind is causing problems of the fire as it spreads quickly and on saddleworth moor, it has been raging since sunday night, spread across a huge area, seven square since sunday night, spread across a huge area, seven square miles. ali was brought in on thursday to try and exhaust —— the army was brought in on thursday to try to give the exhausted fire crews a break. they are expected to be there over the weekend and in coming days the army is extending their stay in the hope

preventing the fire reigniting which is entirely possible. but this is the current problem but the lancashire fire services dealing with, spreading incredibly quickly, and you cannot see from here but up on the hills you can see the frontline of the fire goes for miles. anotherfire engines have arrived down here on this road and a couple have been up there with a hose pipe already trying to spray water on it. you can see the size of the challenge they are facing. 85 firefighters are currently trying to deal with the blaze and already are saying they will be here for the next few days, it could be longer than that. the problem is once the grass has burned, it gets into the peat and we do have tons and tons of fuel which is why saddleworth, when they thought they had put the fire out, suddenly they turned around and it had reignited. the challenges ahead here in bolton as well is an saddleworth to keep on top of these moorland fires. the hope is that rain comes back at this stage none is expected until the middle of next

week. indeed, kevin, looking at the pictures and seeing those flames, you have said the risk the risk of it reigniting. how big an area is being protected in terms of how much moor “— being protected in terms of how much moor —— more it can spread? being protected in terms of how much moor -- more it can spread? the residents have had a tough time in saddleworth at the fire service was telling me the bigger problem would be if the strong winds turned the other way because that would send the fire up i onto the moor on the less accessible areas where they would struggle to get up there and tackle it and there are tons and tons of peach ready to burn up there. here on windy hill it is a different challenge. properties or people at risk but we had in saddleworth because it is much more wrote. it is much more difficult to get fire crews up to try to deal with this. a couple of country broke up with this. a couple of country broke up to this, the base of windy hill and the fire goes all the way around

the top at this stage. the grass doesn't look quite as dry up here clearly, underneath the peat is there. 0nce clearly, underneath the peat is there. once the fire and the flames and the heat gets into the ground, there could be real problems ahead and when the sun comes out it is when (unintelligible) comes up is when (unintelligible) comes up is when the fire has been reignited. we can see the firefighters working behind you heading towards it. get your mask back on. i know there are concerns about not having too much smoke inhalation as well so keep safe and we will see you later and thank you for updating us. a lot of thatis thank you for updating us. a lot of that is caused by the weather of course the will have more on what is happening in the uk a little later on in the programme. the future of britain's largest steel plant at port talbot has become clearer this morning, after the german firm thyssenkrupp approved a merger with its owner tata steel. the merger would create europe's second largest steel—maker and follows a year of negotiations. but the firms have previously warned that thousands ofjobs could be lost, as tomos morgan reports. it's been a turbulent 2.5 years

for tata steel's uk workforce. the uncertainty began when over 1,000 jobs were cut across wales, the majority at the port talbot steel production plant. then it looked like the whole of a tata's british business —— then it looked like the whole of tata's british business was at risk as it put its uk operations up for sale. but then, current and former employees agreed to a cut in their pension package to try to secure jobs, and tata offloaded the old pension responsibility in the process. in the background, tata had been working on negotiations with the german steel giant thyssenkrupp and in securing that pension agreement with workers, a key milestone was reached in the next stage of this mega steel deal. tata's port talbot site has been seen as the flagship of the indian conglomerate's uk business. it employs almost half of the company's 8,000—strong uk workforce. both tata and thyssenkrupp have said that they are committed

to the south wales factory. unions have been seeking reassurances about the site, including a potential refit of one of the blast furnaces. this deal would bring together a few large steel production plants across europe, and experts have warned that this raises long—term questions about possible cost—cutting in the future. tomos morgan, bbc news. 0lympic diver tom daley and his husband, the film—maker dustin lance black, have become parents. the couple revealed the news in the times with an announcement of a son, robert ray. tom daley first announced they were to have a child via a surrogate mother on valentine's day by posting an image of the baby scan on twitter. while tens of thousands of people a year climb up mount snowdon, one man has become the first person to perform a wingsuit flight down it.

can you imagine what the view would be? sam laming from kent started his journey 12,000 feet above the ground. he'd been preparing for his adventure for the past five years. it is worth it if you are getting views like that. i mean, we are getting a view of him at the is getting a view of him at the is getting that amazing view down below. —— but he is getting that amazing view down below. his next challenge is to fly down a mountain in holland this weekend. in the jump, you are pretty focused but you still have a bit of that sort of woo—hoo factor going on, obviously, but we say the jump is not over until you are on the ground. we landed and ijust gave my friend one of the nicest hugs we've ever had. it was a wonderful moment. iama big i am a big fan of that woo—hoo factor, actually. woo—hoo! we are awake everyone! as steph said, chris

will bring us the latest in the weather in a few minutes. that has been affecting the finance we have been affecting the finance we have been reporting to you on saddleworth moor, firefighters have been working day and night over the wildfires which have now spent seven square miles. —— the fires. of course we we re miles. —— the fires. of course we were talking to kevin from where the second blaze continues to bernard windy hill near bolton. conservationists are asking how we can better protect our moorlands in future. gail millin—chalabi is part of a team which is looking into fire prevention techniques. good morning. it is one of those things we have been seeing the pictures and they are shopping because this can be so devastating for the wildlife and the countryside. —— shopping. for the wildlife and the countryside. -- shopping. when you get these intense wildfires they built deep into the peat and destroy this ebanks you don't get the regeneration of the vegetation after the wildfire has occurred —— shocking. and it is going to cost

millions of pounds to put me moorland back to where it was before. that's break it down, what kind of vegetation and plant are we talking about destroyed. the types of vegetation is heather, the lunar, vulgar rs and grasses as well. and also stagnant moss which is really important. this holds the moisture in the moorlands and makes it much more let's say prevents... squelchy? squelchy, i love that word, and producing the water content of the organ in the pits so hopefully wildfires like this do not occur. tell us about the satellite imagery work you were doing and what difference it can make. well, we have different sensors available, be sensible to data which is an optical sensor sensible to data which is an optical sensor and from the european space agency, and also sentinel one which

is radar data. i research has been focusing mainly on the radar data because it penetrates through the cloud and the smoke, giving new regular images, whether that is on the day or night. issues with the optical data which is generally used in mediterranean areas is we get a lot of cloud cover in the uk is that we don't get those regular images that you might get, say, in spain or italy or greece. what will you learn from this? what can you or everyone learn in practical terms and applied to prevent this from happening?m terms of prevention we really need to understand the wildfire regime in the uk and to that, we need better data management. really building up an archive of these burnt areas over time, therefore we can really be able to more accurately gauge the extent of the areas and then feed that into recovery programmes. did

you not learn, this happened again before in 2003 in the peach districts, was nothing learnt then? isa districts, was nothing learnt then? is a better data management? —— peak district. in terms of the satellite technology it has moved on since then so in 2003, he got repeat passes of the satellite every 35 days. this was one image a month. if you had cloud coverfor the optical data then no image at all. so the technology is really moving on and it is also now freely available from the european space agency, before there was a cost to every image you acquired which was a major barrier for organisations such as the fire and rescue service and the utility companies. cani can ijust can i just ask? can ijust ask? how do you actually use the images to help? if the images are already happening, how does that help you? what can you do with the data from it? with the

optical data we have the short wave infrared data showing the active fire, so that is one element for when a fire is in progress. but also after the fire it will help better target reseeding programmes and the restoration which is going to be needed now, after this sort of severe fire that has occurred. so going back to 2003, around £50 million from the partnership which is based in the peak district national park has been spent. they just recently celebrated their 15 year anniversary, and they have done some fantastic work in collaboration with the water companies, natural england, the national trust, and the satellite data will help uncover where are the most severely burnt

areas now, so we can where are the most severely burnt areas now, so we can target the land management. thank you very much for explaining that. who knew about that data, and almost the technical simplicity of it, and how we can use it more practically, thank you. thank you very much. we are celebrating the hot weather, but obviously it is a poisoned chalice. lots of people enjoying it at people suffering not just with lots of people enjoying it at people suffering notjust with the lots of people enjoying it at people suffering not just with the fires but the water shortages as well. chris can tell us more about what the picture is looking like for the rest of the next week, i suppose. you might be surprised to hear that much of the uk has had near—normal rainfall this year so far although the last two months have been very dry and across southern england june might be one of the driestjune is on record. it has been exceptional, as have the temperatures. somewhere in the uk, has had temperatures over 30 degrees for the last five days,

temperatures hitting 30 degrees, probably 32 in hotspots later on. quite a bit of cloud this morning across central and eastern areas, but that will burn away to reveal those clear blue sunny skies and foremost not a drop of rain in the forecast today. it will be dry again but there will be some changes tomorrow. low pressure bringing a few thundery showers in the south—west england and a few spots of rain into the far north—western scotland. 0therwise of rain into the far north—western scotland. otherwise it is a dry weekend. this is how we stop things. cloudy skies were central and eastern scotland, central and eastern scotland, central and eastern england, but in the next few hours that cloud will melt away, evaporating to reveal those clear and sunny skies. the sunshine will be expensive, the heat building quickly through the morning and into the afternoon some of the warmest weather will be across western areas of england and parts of wales as well. here we could see temperatures up well. here we could see temperatures up to about 32 or so in the very hottest areas. a slightly fresher feel to the air across north—east

england, and still warm in the sunshine, so pleasant conditions here. as we go through the evening we will keep the dry weather and clear skies through the night. a little bit of cloud developing around eastern coasts later on in a bit of cloud working in the northern ireland as well. 0therwise largely clear, temperatures between ten and 16 degrees and turning more human across southern parts of england and wales. that is one change we will see the forecast for tomorrow. as the winds turned to a south—easterly direction, it will start to feel a little bit more oppressive and there is the threat of those thundery showers across south—west england. it will bring i am sure some welcome rainfor it will bring i am sure some welcome rain for gardeners in this part of the world. 0therwise rain for gardeners in this part of the world. otherwise it is another hot one, it could be the hottest day of the year. temperatures in london about 30 degrees but we could see highs of 33 or maybe 3a celsius, something like that. it will feel very hot outside, for sure. and after such a hot day and with more humidity around those temperatures will be slower to fall away. an uncomfortable night's sleepless sunday evening. the jet stream is what is bringing this dry and hot

weather at the moment and looking into next week the jet stream is still split with one branch going towards iceland, another branch towards iceland, another branch towards the mediterranean, and in between this high pressure has been bringing us the hot and sunny weather. i don't see any great changes in the week ahead. temperatures still on the high side nationwide, high 20s, probably low 30s, and! nationwide, high 20s, probably low 30s, and i don't think there will be any rain. so no significant changes in the next week, perhaps even longer. this looks like being an exceptional spell of weather, that is for sure. exceptional in so many ways, chris, just like yourself. thank you very much. look at me, smooth talker. get a room. a significant outbreak of measles in bristol has prompted new warnings from public heath england, as it is the latest in a number of cases across the country. so far this year, there have been 56 confirmed and 2a probable cases of measles in bristol. that is compared to just one during the same period last year. and it is notjust bristol that is affected. there were 6113 confirmed cases across england in the first six months of this year.

that is compared to just 267 in the whole of last year. let's talk to dr vanessa saliba, a consultant epidemiologist from public health england. thank you for talking to us this morning. what do you think is behind this seeming rise in cases, in the number of cases? good morning. well, the outbreaks we are seeing in england are linked to much larger outbreaks happening all over europe. so there has beenjust outbreaks happening all over europe. so there has been just this year thousands of cases in countries like romania, france, italy and greece. people travel all over and bring measles back with them. and so the cases that we are seeing are very much in young people and adult over the age of 15 who have missed out on their mmr vaccine when they were younger. so we are seeing limited

spread in the community. 0k, younger. so we are seeing limited spread in the community. ok, so what are the concerns? when do we start using the word outbreak? well, we have had limited outbreaks. the concern is these can get bigger over summer concern is these can get bigger over summer months as travel to europe gets more frequent and with lots of summer gets more frequent and with lots of summer festivals coming up. gets more frequent and with lots of summerfestivals coming up. as i said, a lot of the cases we are seeing are among young people who missed out on their mmr vaccine when they were younger and we know they are going to large gathering events over the summer, which is the perfect place for the virus to spread. so we want to raise awareness, get the message out there now to make sure they get up—to—date with their mmr vaccine as soon as possible. we will get into what you can do to avoid transmitting or catching it, but should we talk about the vaccine and perceptions of the vaccine, and whether people have been reluctant to take it? well, trust in the vaccine is very, very high at the minute. so the childhood programme, we offer a mmr vaccine to babies when they turn one and the

second dose at age three years and four months, and there has been good u pta ke four months, and there has been good uptake for a number of years. what you are right, in the late 19905 and early 2000 there were concerns about the vaccine which have been com pletely the vaccine which have been completely debunked but that have an impact on coverage for people born during that period, and our young people and adults remain unprotected -- 20005. people and adults remain unprotected -- 2000s. so people in their early 205 and late teens are the most vulnerable, so what should they be thinking about as they are out and about in festivals, a5 thinking about as they are out and about in festivals, as you say, or travelling around ? about in festivals, as you say, or travelling around? anyone who is not 5ure travelling around? anyone who is not sure if they have had to make doses of mmr vaccine should check with theirgp of mmr vaccine should check with their gp practice, it doesn't take long and you can get it free on the nhs. especially, as i said, before you travel before you go to summer festivals. if you are not sure, call yourgp. it is festivals. if you are not sure, call your gp. it is very quick and easy and it is free on the nhs. are there any related risks? 0bviously

and it is free on the nhs. are there any related risks? obviously we are told you should have these when you are young. no, absolutely not. the reason we want to give them to babysit so we can protect people as soon as babysit so we can protect people as soon as possible, at as young an age as possible, but it is never too late. just call your gp if you are not sure and you can get it done as soon as not sure and you can get it done as soon as possible. need to be fully protected. thank you very much for talking to us protected. thank you very much for talking to u5 u5 protected. thank you very much for talking to u5 us on breakfast. going to the theatre is supposed to be an immer5ive experience, but a new production in south wales is taking that idea to another level. it is called splish splash, and is designed for children with complex learning needs. it is touring 5pecial schools and hospitals, and huw thomas has been to see it. at this special school, the children are being immersed in theatre. spli5h 5pla5h i5 are being immersed in theatre. spli5h 5pla5h is a show for a tiny audience ofjust two children, and

accompanied by a grown—up beach, they are taken on a treasure hunt. along the way, there is music and mi5chief, all designed to stimulate and mischief, all designed to stimulate and surprise, with the swimming pool giving freedom to children whose movements outside the water i restrict it. every child is totally different, you know, and sometimes you will get somebody smiling, and you will get somebody smiling, and you can just see the carer with them, sort of going come over here to see them smile, because maybe that's not something that happens very often, or good girl, or even, you know, even just very often, or good girl, or even, you know, evenjust splashing very often, or good girl, or even, you know, even just splashing the water. the show has been developed with national theatre wales to travel to special schools and hospital hydrotherapy pools. this show is completely immersive. the water isn't just a show is completely immersive. the water isn'tjust a stage for show is completely immersive. the water isn't just a stage for the actors. it is also a comfortable space where these children can experience the magic of theatre.

demi has complex learning needs and she is supported in the water by her teacher, who can sense her enjoyment. she was really excited, the arching back she gave, the smile, it was really beautiful. so you could tell she was enjoying it. everything, the grin she does is a sign she is happening, so you could tell she was happy. two x two, the children get to experience the show and it fabulous floating instruments. and it sounds better wet, as well. so that's why i always turnit wet, as well. so that's why i always turn it upside down to play it. and it sounds a bit like this. it is a rare opportunity for these children to enjoy a theatre. for over 30 yea rs, to enjoy a theatre. for over 30 years, 0ily cart has been pioneering this kind of production and the work is having a dramatic effect on its audiences. we are not therapists, we

are theatre people. so we wouldn't make any claim other than, i think, in our shows we make life seem more joyful, more beautiful, more interesting, more funny. fora while. in the water, they found the treasure at journey‘s while. in the water, they found the treasure atjourney‘s ends. as the show prepares to move on to more pools across the country. i would like to be in it. i haven't got any skill to be able to do that, the xylophone... i can play got any skill to be able to do that, the xylophone. .. i can play the xylophone. can you? you are a woman of so many talents. one of the things we will be discussing on today's programme is videos. if you don't know what one of these is, then ask your parents. it is because we will be showing you a story about a man in liverpool who has opened a video rental shop, just when you thought they were gone for good. so we've been asking if you have still got any of these at home.

i thought these video rental shops we re i thought these video rental shops were dying breed. they are, these days, except for this one in liverpool. have you got any vhs tapes? you do, don't you?” liverpool. have you got any vhs tapes? you do, don't you? i have loads. i got rid of mind back in the day. at my nan's, watching the clangers. i had land before time, and i've still got it. and you've still got it on vhs, in the attic? don't look ashamed. i have it in my house. what

i reckon most people will have their wedding and things like that. you can get them transferred over. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: water companies across the uk are warning customers to urgently cut back on how much they use amid increased demand during the current heatwave. the first hosepipe ban to be introduced in northern ireland in nearly 25 years has come into force. united utilities has warned a ban could follow in north—west england. severn trent handed out emergency bottled water in rugby last night

following fears that a nearby storage facility might run dry. the nhs in england has set out plans to stop hundreds of thousands of patients every year from receiving treatments which it says are useless or too risky. it's drawn up a list of 17 procedures including snoring, varicose vein surgery, and steroid injections for non—specific back pain. the measures are part of plans to cut waste as the government prepares to increase nhs spending by 20 billion pounds a year by 2023. the army will stay on saddleworth moor in greater manchester throughout the weekend and into next week to help keep control of moorland blazes which have been burning for six days. 0n winter hill in neighbouring lancashire, where grass fires broke out on thursday, a man has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life. the future of britain's largest

steel plant at port talbot has become clearer this morning after the german firm thyssenkrupp approved a merger with its owner, tata steel. the deal would create europe's second largest steel—maker and follows a year of negotiations. but the firms have previously warned that thousands of jobs could be lost. unions hope the announcement will bring an end to uncertainty for its workers. accommodation for members of the armed forces has been described as substandard by mp5. the ministry of defence says it is committed to providing high quality and subsidised accommodation for its troops. but mp5 on the defence committee say service personnel have endured poor quality housing for years. unfortunately, this has been an issue that's been running on for a number of years within the ministry of defence. but we on the committee are basically saying enough is enough and we have reached the stage now where this really does have to be gripped in order

to properly honour those people who do so much to keep us and our way of life safe. there's been a big rise in the number of uk citizens taking on the nationality of another eu country since the brexit referendum. new figures obtained by the bbc reveal almost 13,000 britons claimed citizenship of one of the 17 member states which responded to a freedom of information request. fewer than 2,000 did so in 2015. that brings you up to date with the headlines but we could not continue without another animal story, because we know that you love them. chester zoo has released heart—warming footage of the first sun bear ever born in the uk, weighing just 400 grams. why is a sun bear so important and unique? sun bears are the world's smallest bears and are a highly threatened species from south—east asia. mother bear and far that were

rescued from poachers in cambodia. —— father bear. 0bviously they have settled in. there is huge paws and the huge claws cuddling that tiny little thing. gorgeous footage. to sport, come on, john. it is back on the day, we had one day off from the world cup and it is knockout rounds, it gets serious now, isn't it? use it or lose it. i didn't know what to do with myself. the sun was shining, you could have gone out. no, i would still stay in and watch football. it is knockout time, it is extra time, it is penalties and it begins with two brilliant games. so the 3pm kick—off on bbc one is france versus argentina. 0ur correspondent david 0rnstein is in russia at england's base in repino. david, this is an

interesting fixture. we saw a glimpse of what messi can do against nigeria but they've not been convincing so far? that's right, it is brilliant to have the world cup back, it didn't feel right yesterday on a day off. what a way to start with france and argentina. we have been waiting for messi to come to the party and obviously argentina were beaten in the final 0rr years ago and messi has never really done it on the biggest stage of all but he did when it mattered in nigeria with a fabulous gold "4 years ago. —— gold. he said his team up and nigeria equalised but argentina got a late win and messi was the focal point of everything argentina did well. he is now 31 years old so there are some suggestions this may finally be his last world cup. speculation for years that he may

step away from international full all because too much rest on his shoulders and the captain, he feels the weight of the burden but now he has an opportunity to inspire argentina and they will be high after the victory over nigeria but could they continue it against france, a talented team but so many questions about whether france can finally prove more or equal to the sum of their parts. so far they have been less than the sum of their parts to it should be a fascinating encounter. he mentioned messi, of course, a big game for him. and the big one for cristiano ronaldo who is ina similar big one for cristiano ronaldo who is in a similar situation. he is 33, it is uruguay versus portable. a difficult one to call, david? —— portugal. absolutely, and if you remember back earlier this year, cristiano ronaldo talked about how he had the biological age in terms of the health of his body of a 23—year—old and how he can hope to

continue playing for another eight yea rs continue playing for another eight years until he is a1. so he may, by his own opinion, have a couple of world cup is left in him for we have seen so world cup is left in him for we have seen so far in the tournament is spectacular. he scored four goals to set one goal behind harry kane on thejoint set one goal behind harry kane on the joint second set one goal behind harry kane on thejoint second top set one goal behind harry kane on the joint second top scorer, he leads from the front, he led portugal to the euro title two years ago despite being injured for the final. he is as much of a hero to portugal as messi is for argentina. we saw the hat—trick he scored against pain in portugal opening match. today comes another huge test against uruguay who are yet to be troubled, really, at the world cup and have luis suarez in there are marie. he is leading uruguay in a way that portugal have been led by rinaldo. —— in theirarmoury. two brilliant match is going together in the last 16. —— matches. and you're there with the england team. any news from there? are there any clues into how manager gareth southgate might approach the game against

columbia on tuesday? yesterday england arrived back in their base from the match against belgium at four in the mornings it was all about rest and recovery. today return to full training and because gareth southgate made a changes to his starting lineup, his first choice players will come straight back into the high intensity training. they will have another session tomorrow and on monday, and by the workout before flying over the moscow for the game against colombia, the huge game on tuesday evening. we feel that southgate will revert to his first choice team which would be the team potentially that face tunisia in the opening match with dele alli tipped to come back into the starting lineup if he can prove his fitness after a slight problem that kept him out of both panama and belgian games. harry kane to come back in and lead the line, i think england really wa nt and lead the line, i think england really want to regain the momentum after the belgian defeat. it was the first time they had lost in more

than a year first time they had lost in more thana yearand first time they had lost in more than a year and now comes the tough task of knockout fixture, england have won only one knockout match, all, they have not won a knockout match in a major competition since 2006, only two since 1990, and only six since 1966, said this is a great opportunity. their old foe the penalty shoot—out may come back into play. we are told they are extremely the penalties if it comes about. colombia are four places below england in the world rankings but they are backed here by 30, a0,000 spectators at most of their matches. that is an injury doubt over their best player rodriguez, england will hope he does not feature because if they can beat colombia, they will face court next weekend, next saturday, against either sweden or switzerland. the england fans are daring to dream but first up we have the tough task of colombia, quarter—finalist four years ago. david, thank you. here's how you can keep up with the action. france against argentina is on bbc one, kick—off at 3:00,

and there's build—up on radio 5 live from 12 o'clock. later, it's uruguay—portugal with commentary on 5 live. andy murray says he will "most likely" be playing at wimbledon, which starts on monday. he'll face the frenchman benoit paire in the first round if he feels he can compete. after 11 months out, murray made his return at queen's this month before playing twice at eastbourne. this is what he had to say at wimbledon yesterday. yeah, the thing is, obviously i don't know, like, every single day exactly how things are going to be. i need to play it a little bit by ear. i can't — i can't protect how i'm going to feel in two days. but if i feel like i do today in a couple of days, i will be playing, yeah. lewis hamilton looked good at the red bull ring in practice for the austrian grand prix. it's a track he enjoys — he won there two years ago — and he finished quickest in the first two practice sessions, just ahead of his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas, with sebastian vettel third in his ferrari.

do you remember these? do i remember those? yeah. do you still have any? 0ne those? yeah. do you still have any? one or two. what is on it? home video type stuff. we will go no further! thank you, john! these devices may seem a bit clunky nowadays but once upon a time, they formed a multimillion—pound industry. we very much enjoyed those, the old video shop. video rental shops became a thing of the past when blockbuster finally closed its stores in 2013, due to the rise of dvds and the emergence of streaming services. but one man is trying to rewind time this weekend with the opening of a new vhs shop in liverpool. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been to take a look. it is one of the least likely openings of the year. liverpool has a brand—new video rental shop. meet

the man who wants to rewind to a bygone era. this is the selection. it has been a dream of mine for a long time, i used to work in a video shop and the crunch will came when my dad was downsizing his house and it was kind of like an ultimatum, would you take these videos to the tip or do something with them and so i actually thought yes, i want to go ahead and open up a video shop. the video boom is one of britain's great industries, it has created 20,000 newjobs in the past two years. industries, it has created 20,000 new jobs in the past two years. the chess players dominated the two decades at the start of the millennium they were still outselling dvds. but andy is worried film history is being lost. we have actually got a whole range of easy our players we can rent out as well so our players we can rent out as well soi our players we can rent out as well so i think that is going to be a lot of people who cannot find films online, they want a hard copy, real good film fans because when you think about these are works of art and they are first edition. phantasm, hellraiser... and they are first edition. phantasm, hellraiser. .. michael good video shops it has a horror section.

maniac cop and evil dead too. maniac cop three. and evil dead too. generally considered the better film. was three the best of the trio? if you are going to invest in and eat even in the maniac cop, go for the third one. this is the kind of advice you don't get online. when you were scrolling through the thumbnails, that is right. and a certain boy wizard is being represented. harry potter fans are reaching the age where they are experiencing this delta of it and the people who grow up under books, this is probably the first way they watched the movie at home. but is there really a market for this? we wa nted there really a market for this? we wanted to know when people had last used a video recorder. my nan was watching the clangers. that is an old, old king's programme.” watching the clangers. that is an old, old king's programme. i had one. do you still have it on vhs? yeah. in the attic? do not look ashamed! too big, bulky. i probably

still have them in my house. what kind of things? wrestling, i would imagine. we took some to the car boot sale last week. did it sell? nora, and then it went to the charity shop. just time to pop at the vide0dyssey and make a decision on my weekend viewing. malkovich, malkovich, malkovich. do you know what i love? i'm not going to the video store and chatting about films. it used to be a social occasion with your friends everyone just flicks and yeah, it isn't a sociable. seeing it on shelves is a good way to see it. i wonder if chris has any vhs tapes lying around. the old classic weather forecasts, perhaps? is that where you are going? we have those as well. i am not that sad, thankfully. as far as the weather goes this

weekend, more of the hot and sunny weather to come. temperatures in the last five days have hit 30 degrees or above somewhere in the uk, so this has been an exceptional spell of hot and sunny weather, and more of hot and sunny weather, and more of that to come this weekend. for many of us, not a drop of rain in the forecasts. that said, a few showers turning up tomorrow in the south—west. today, any cloud clearing away this morning pretty quickly. high pressure still in the charts across the uk weather systems. rain bearing ones keeping well away from the uk, this one bringing a few showers in the south—west england tomorrow but for todayit south—west england tomorrow but for today it is a dry day. for central and eastern scotland and parts of england, cloudy skies to start with, a fresh feel to the morning. the cloud will melt away quickly and we will be left with clear and sunny skies. through the afternoon those temperatures will build significantly. the hottest weather across southern and western areas of england and wales. around north—east

england and wales. around north—east england and wales. around north—east england and eastern areas of scotla nd england and eastern areas of scotland a slightly fresher feel to the weather. humidity not quite as high but pleasant in the sunshine for sure. and some will hit the 30 degrees mark, probably most favoured areas like hampshire or down towards dorset today. looking at the weather picture through the evening and overnight, keeping clear skies for many of us although a little bit of cloud developing around eastern areas of scotland and england again. perhaps some cloud coming into northern ireland later in the night. temperatures tend to 16 degrees. for tomorrow's weather, the big chains that most of us might notice is that it will be a little bit more humid. we are starting to get the winds coming in from the south—east dragging in the humid airfrom france. the england and wales, more ofa humid france. the england and wales, more of a humid feel to the weather and through the afternoon the threat of fused thunderstorms moving into south—west england. 0therwise another dry, hot and sunny day. temperatures higher across southern england, 30 degrees in london, so one of the hottest days of the year

in the capital, but temperatures a bit higher than that in one or two spots, 3233 degrees. we will be close to the warmest day of the year. through sunday evening temperatures will be very slow to fall away, and looking ahead into next week a splitjetstream, with one branch going to the north of the uk and another branch running through the mediterranean —— 32 or 33 degrees. high pressure has been bringing us the dry, hot and sunny weather, and that is what we have fought the week ahead. it will stick around all week, really, perhaps even longer than that. it looks like an exceptional spell of weather. high 205 for much of the week ahead, and that is the latest weather.m looks fabulous, but of course it causes problems in other centres. we will speak to you a little bit later. we will be back with the headlines at 8:00am. now on breakfast, it is time for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. as thousands protest against leaving the european union, we examine the challenges of reporting on brexit in an objective, comprehensible

and interesting fashion, and... who's your favourite couple on love island? and we find out why brussels correspondent adam fleming was faced with that question from an unusual guest on the daily politics programme. this week's european council meeting had been seen as a crucial staging post in the protracted negotiations over the uk's departure from the eu. as it happens, the growing political disagreement over migration dominated the agenda. but, as ever, brexit was under discussion too. amid all the disputes about migration, theresa may had had just a brief chance to talk to the assembled leaders about brexit. her message to them? we are ready to intensify and

accelerate the pace of negotiations. i want to see that from the european commission, and the european union, as well. but, more than a year into the negotiations, the eu says the uk still doesn't have a clear negotiating position, and it needs to see one. she headed home, excluded from today's brexit discussion. controversy has of course accompanied every stage of the brexit process, including the way it has been reported on bbc news. for many, the corporation fails to provide balanced coverage, with louise vale putting it like this. but the majority of complaints we received are about a perceived bias in the other direction. here is pat marks. those holding that latter point

of view contacted the bbc in large numbers following saturday's anti—brexit march in central london. that day, there was also a significantly smaller pro—brexit march in london, which received much less airtime. and the disparity annoyed some viewers, such as christine hicks, who e—mailed... and brian silvester tweeted. .. apart from the fraught issue of balance, there are other challenges for bbc reporting in this area. one is the danger of boring the audience with excessive coverage of this long—running saga. steve dalligan from derby sent us his solution. well, one correspondent who may need

to lie down in a dark room is chris morris, who has the task under the bbc‘s reality check umbrella of explaining the many twists and turns of the process of leaving the european union. here are some recent examples. the government says the uk will pay the eu up to £39 billion to cover things like outstanding bills and pensions. there's also broad agreement on the rights after brexit of eu citizens here in the uk, and uk citizens elsewhere in europe. but it could take years to set such a system up. the eu is sceptical about whether it will work, anyway, and supporters of brexit see this as a trap to keep the uk locked

into the eu system. so the second proposal is for a highly streamlined customs arrangement. it's no secret that the future of the irish border between northern ireland and the republic is proving to be a massive challenge in the brexit negotiations, and that talk of no deal is making a lot of people nervous. but it's notjust in the uk that this really matters, because the republic of ireland is hugely dependent on trade with the united kingdom for its economic well—being. you only need to look at the map to understand why. well, chris morrisjoins me now. welcome to newswatch. there is a lot of talk about deadlines and crunch points, but danny dyer seemed to speak for many on good evening britain when he said brexit is a mad riddle — no—one knows what it is. as the correspondent tasked with explaining it all to us, is it frustrating for you? it can be, and i thought "mad riddle" was a brilliant phrase. and i would like to strenuously object to steve's proposal for a 2a—hour brexit channel, because then i would never get

to lie down, anywhere. it can be frustrating, but it is incredibly complicated. i mean, people use various different metaphors for trying to get out of the european union. one of them is unmaking an omelette. we've had a0 years of putting it all together, and you can't simply jump away, you have got to unstitch it all. it's very, very difficult and these are issues, frankly, which a lot of people now involved in the negotiations, i think, did not understand. you take issues like the customs union, for example. i've spent a lot of time on air trying to explain what it is, but we still have, from our audience research suggestion, that a lot of people don't quite understand it yet. you know, if you are working for something like the financial times, maybe you know what your audience is. i think one of the big challenges for the bbc is that we have to address and interest those who do know all the technical details, and care about them deeply, and those who don't know all the technical details, but do want to understand how it's going to affect their lives. can i ask, on that, viewers often say they're baffled by the minutiae

of the customs union or agreement, and nothing has been decided. so is there a case to say that the bbc should give less running commentary on all the possibilities, and wait until there is something specific to report? you could do that, but it's quite difficult, i think. look at the last couple of months. obviously a lot of coverage is quite often led by what happens in westminster, and the last few months, really, brexit has been the dominant issue. it is the dominant political issue of our times. you know, and for better or worse, we are, in effect, remaking our country. so i think people actually do deserve to have the ability to have people like us trying to look into all the details. i accept that some of it is baffling, and some of the detail can be very boring, but it is important. you will know the bbc is getting accused of extreme bias by pro—brexit and pro—remain campaigners. everybody.

how are you navigating your way through it all, as a reporter? i think one of the things we try and do is try and look at facts. i mean, people can always quibble about what the facts really are, but for example, we did a piece recently about customs borders elsewhere in europe, because of the customs union debate. and some people were saying it's easy to get across the border, or it's not easy. well, we went to swedish customs and norwegians customs and swiss customs and french customs and turkish customs, and asked them how long does it take for a truck to get across your borders? here are some of the facts. and people can then spin them either way, and i think we are always going to get people on both sides deeply unhappy with us, because this has become probably the most contentious political issue in this country that i can remember, certainly in my lifetime as a reporter. it does not mean that we should not try and say, here are some facts, you go away and interpret them as you choose. but, as you say, part of

the frustration is it is sometimes really hard to know what is a proven fact, and that is so different to other stories. so how do you make it comprehensible, as a correspondent, in some of these areas? try to keep the language simple. accept that there are times when you're going to use facts, but after a while, the facts become political. £350 million on the side of a bus is an obvious example. we did a piece saying, look, the chairman of the uk statistics authority has said this is a misuse of official statistics. i think you can make a case that the number wasn't right, and we said that. again, flak from both sides, either we didn't say it strongly enough, or we said it too strongly. but then it kind of goes into the political realm, and i think at that stage you have to let politicians get on with it. some viewers certainly complain about brexit fatigue. how are you holding up? it is tiring, and it is all—consuming, because you have to be across all the kind of bizarre technical details of the negotiations, and so forth. and i think you do actually —

if you're covering it in the sort of detail i do, and that some of my colleagues do, you do need to know all those technical details to then step back and say, here's where we are in this process. it's not easy, but i try and do other things occasionally. i went to turkey recently for a week and fact—checked the turkish elections. that was lovely. holiday! chris morris, thank you very much. such is the ubiquity of brexit as a topic of conversation that it even cropped up on itv2‘5 reality show, love island. in a slightly surreal exchange, where one contestant, hayley hughes appeared to ask whether the uk leaving the eu would mean we would no longer have any trees, or possibly cheese. well, that same hayley hughes popped up, to the surprise of many viewers, on last friday's daily politics, questioning brexit guru adam fleming, with noises off from studio guests alistair campbell and nigel farage. how will it affect my life,

and everybody else's? badly. stop it, you two! very well. very badly. all right, we've got very badly and very well in the studio. shush! adam? the easy answer is, it depends. i kind of think it's hard for younger people to have kind of more of an understanding about brexit. but, since i've got to learn about it, i'm actually finding it really interesting. well, adam can spend hours with you about it. thank you for coming in and to everybody for being on the show — not that binder! 0pinion was divided on that encounter, with philip copsey tweeting. .. stephan garcia disagreed. and others were just left bemused.
