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 russia 2018 reaches the knockout stage, could we be seeing the last of two of the well‘s best players at the world cup? and i will have a full forecast of how hot it is going to get a little bit later on. 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 is the scale of the increased demand during the recent heatwave that is beginning to seriously worry utility companies. 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 it is a story being played out across the country. severn trent says people are using about one third more water than usual. it has led to several disruptions and outages already

and they are asking everyone to act neighbourly. in the north—west, united utilities says it needs urgent help while they may be forced to introduce hosepipe ban on monday. they have asked people not to wash their cars or take a bath this weekend. a ban is already in place in northern ireland, it came into effect on friday evening and it 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 people just to be responsible and volunteer to use hoses and if people do that there will be enough for all. the problem is not a lack of water, many as applies are actually nearly full after a rainy spring. however huge spikes in peaktime demand in 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.

iam sure i am sure you will be keen to know what it means for you in your area. we'll be speaking to united utilities about the current situation, at ten past eight. 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 from having treatment that are either ineffective or pose too many risks. it has drawn up a list of 17 procedures including snoring and varicose vein treatment, arthroscopies for osteoarthritis, and steroid injections for non—specific backpain. in all of these the health bodies say there is little evidence the treatments work or that the risks outweigh the rewards.

but some doctors have questioned those beliefs and say patients will either miss out will be forced to pay for private treatment that would actually give them some relief. the proposals are still to be put out to 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. in around half an hour we will talk toagp in around half an hour we will talk toa gp to in around half an hour we will talk to a gp to explain more about which procedures will be affected. 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. all morning we have seen how much

smoke there is behind you. you have already got a face mask which you have removed so you can talk to us, so have removed so you can talk to us, so you have removed so you can talk to us, so you can have removed so you can talk to us, so you can be heard, so give us the latest. this is the front line of this fire on winter hill in bolton and it is spreading incredibly quickly. you can see up there as it spread across dry grass, that stretch of the front line goes for a couple of miles and there is another fire on the other side of this hill. 0ne fire on the other side of this hill. one of the problems is there is no water they can access. the fire engines have been going up and down, ferrying truckloads of water, they spray it on the hill and then they have to go down and get some more. the priority is to ensure that by the time the fire gets to this road, which acts as a natural firebreak, they should be on top of it. if a fire is very active, there is no

reason why it could notjump across the road, catch fire to these trees and then spreads down into the valley. 30 miles away it is better news and they think after a number of days they have managed to get control of the fire. the army has been there and giving them extra help and for the time being they think they are on top of it. but things could change if the sun comes out and the wind changes. every time we have spoken to you we have talked about how it can be quite deceiving when we first speak to you because it is cooler at night. are things getting worse? we are expecting another day of hot temperatures. getting worse? we are expecting another day of hot temperaturesm saddleworth it has been a difficult fire to deal with because it is dry grass on top of peat which is fuel. even when they think they have stamped the fire out on top it can still be burning underneath and that is why when you turn around another pocket of fire has popped up behind

them. that will be the situation here. even though they have stamped it out, it could reignite. they want to put this fire to bed once and for all and they need rain. we are not expecting that until later in the week and that is what is needed to put an end to it. but for the time being at saddleworth with the help of the army, they think they are on top of that one and here it is all hands to the pump in lancashire. but they are worried because of the wind if the smoke continues across yet, they will have to pull out if it gets too much. we cannot have firefighters putting their lives in danger. if they move out, the fire in the wind has a free rein to follow on down into the valley. in the wind has a free rein to follow on down into the valleyli will let you get your mask on. stay safe and we will talk to you later. stay safe and we will talk to you later. 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 has been a turbulent 2.5 years for tata steel's uk workforce. the uncertainty began when over 1000 jobs were cut across wales the majority at the port talbot steel production plant. then it looks like the whole of a grip on's british business was at risk as it put its uk operations up for sale. the 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 has been working on negotiations with a german steel giant thyssenkrupp and in securing the pension agreement with workers, a key milestone was reached

in the next stage of this mega steel deal. tata's fight has been seen as the flagship for the business. it employs almost half of the company 8000 strong workforce. both tata and thyssenkrupp have said 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 this raises longer—term questions about possible cost—cutting in the future. tomos morgan, bbc news. 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. 0lympic diver tom daley

and his husband, the filmmaker 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. congratulations to them and all other new parents this weekend. loads of people climb up a mountain. yes, it is hard work. it is on my bucket list. i think this looks cool bucket list. i think this looks cool, but dangerous. i think this looks cool, but dangerous. 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. sam laming from kent started his journey 12—thousand feet above the ground. he'd been preparing for his adventure for the past five years. he is not stopping there. well, he

cannot stop there. well, he cannot stop there. his next challenge is to fly down a mountain in the netherlands this weekend. iam thinking i am thinking the netherlands is pretty flat. he has found a mountain. the pictures are incredible. what a great thing to do. and he is safe and sound. it is hot outside and chris will update us on the weather later on. the recent heatwave may have been great news for some, but it's been a major headache for water companies. on an average day in the uk, homes and businesses use enough water to fill 6,000 0lympic—sized swimming pools. that works out at about 150 litres for each of us. however, this week demand has rocketed. some utility firms say we've used as much as 25% more than normal. severn trent opened two bottle drop sites in rugby afterfears one of the company's key storage

facilities could be at risk of running dry this weekend. they're asking customers to "use water wisely". united utilities has asked for "urgent help" from its customers to avoid a hosepipe ban. its advice is not to wash cars or take baths. meanwhile, in northern ireland, the first hosepipe ban in nearly a quarter of a century has already been introduced. let's chat to helen apps from united utilities which supplies water to the north—west of england. good morning, thank you for coming in. you guys have been putting out information about it. bring us up to date, what is the situation at the moment? it is still so hot out there and the demand for water is astronomical. we have never seen anything like this. it has been

ramping up over last week and yesterday we put an additional half a billion litres of water into the supply, a billion litres of water into the supply, 25% more than usual. have you got enough? we have got what in the reservoirs, the difficulty is physically getting it through the pipes fast enough to meet the demand at the other end. why don't you fill up at the other end. why don't you fill up the water tanks earlier? they are being filled up overnight. is it cool? absolutely, and these are the ta nks cool? absolutely, and these are the tanks underground and this is where we have a lot of storage built into the water system. but people are using so much more water that it is going out of the pipes as fast as we can get it in. some of the pipes are enormous and some of them are about that size and they serve individual streets. that will not get any bigger and we can only get so much watered down it. you will understand

the frustration from our viewers. steve has got in touch. the wettest water in decades and the water company has failed to capture it. someone else says, what about the gushing water leaks in the roads that still have not been fixed. when there is that carelessness that people see, is being employed by the water companies, they get frustrated because they are paying for a service and you are not delivering. what would you say to that?” service and you are not delivering. what would you say to that? i would argue with that. we went into the spring period, which was very dry, with water full in the reservoirs. but the infrastructure is the pipes. you are saying the pipes are not big enough, but pipes are not being fixed. leakage is very important to us as fixed. leakage is very important to us as well as our customers. we are working 2a hours a day on leakage at the moment. it is a huge issue. we have got enough water pipes if you put them end to end, 42,000

kilometres, and that would go right the way around the equator, so it is a co nsta nt the way around the equator, so it is a constantjob the way around the equator, so it is a constant job like the way around the equator, so it is a constantjob like painting the forth road bridge to keep on top of leakage. we have got 40% extra people detecting lea ks leakage. we have got 40% extra people detecting leaks and going out and fixing them and we are doing it 24 hours a day. we are doing a lot and we are now asking people to do their bit to cut back on any nonessential water usage like watering the garden. things like sprinklers and hosepipes in one hour a sprinkler can use as much water as a sprinkler can use as much water as afamily of a sprinkler can use as much water as a family of four can use in a day and if you leave it overnight the figures are mind—boggling. and if you leave it overnight the figures are mind-boggling. but people are paying for this water. they are not getting it for free. why should they have to cut back? because we have got a very specific issue at the moment which is related to the heat wave and related to the sheer level of consumption. that is the reason. we have already seen in

places like the moorlands and the fires that are going on, we are not making this up, it is an extreme condition out there at the moment. cani condition out there at the moment. can i ask about preparation. weather forecasts generally tell us what is coming up and we knew we were going to have a heatwave. likewise when we had the beast from the east that caused various weather problems and i know the water companies suffered them because of burst pipes. i interviewed the chief executive of rothwell last week and she said water companies were not properly prepared. why are you not getting more prepared and looking ahead and thinking that it will be tough?” will reject that, we are very well prepared. this was the chief executive. we are very well prepared and we have drought management plans that kick in very early on and we are working around the clock managing our water resources. we have got a very integrated water

network in the north—west and we have invested in major aqueducts around manchester, it means we can move water around the region more effectively and we can get water from cumbria into liverpool and from north wales into manchester and we never had that flexibility. we are managing the situation all the time, but it is not about the amount of water in the reservoirs, it is the sheer level of demand. we cannot get water into the pipes fast enough to serve people at the other end. when will you have a network fit for purpose? it is fit for purpose. it is not. it is an exceptional period. we have had heatwave as before, so the system is not fit for purpose now, so when will it be? you say you are employing 40% more people, when will we be in a position where we will we be in a position where we will not be restricted in a service we pay will not be restricted in a service will not be restricted in a service we pay for? people have to

understand we can only get so much water through the pipes the size they are. most people can appreciate how extreme the weather has been. a lot of people are willing to play their part. if we can cut back the usage a bit this weekend, even 10%, that will help us reduce the chance of needing to impose a hosepipe ban next week. you have some tips for that and you have got some things that and you have got some things that people can get for free. give usa that people can get for free. give us a flavour of the types of things people can get for free. longer term there are a lot of things you can do at home. if you send off to our website you can get lots of different gadgets. that one, your teenagers can see how long it takes to have a shower. i would love to see parents get that one. you would need about four of those. those crystal gels soak up water so when you flush the toilet it does not use so much water. and this is a

shower head and you can get this for free. you just replace your standard shower head and it is great water, so you feel like you are having a good shower, but you are using less water. and what are tapped inserts for? the way they work is a reduce the flow coming out of the tap, so when you turn the tap on full it does not use so much water. and simple things like not leaving the tap running when you are brushing your teeth. exactly, but if we can appeal to everybody not to water the garden this weekend. and gardeners are concerned. yes, those gel things that you put in the soil helps retain more water. and these are free? absolutely free. thank you very much for talking about that with us. here's chris with a look at this morning's weather. how long will the heatwave last?

that is difficult and we cannot see an end to it because it will be dry and hot throughout the weekend. as far as the weekend goes, temperatures will push into the 30s. it has been five days in a rain were somewhere in the uk we have had temperatures over 30 degrees. it is an incredible run of hot and sunny weather. although we start off with patches of cloud in central and eastern england, it will shrink away. in a couple of hours it will have cleared away and we will be left with a straightforward forecast. clear blue skies for most of us and plenty of sunshine with those temperatures building once again. it is not humid at the moment so it is quite a pleasant heat. the air is at its freshest in north east england and eastern scotland. temperatures and 20s, so good conditions. the hottest weather will

be in southern and western empires of england and wales and temperatures could get over 30 degrees once again. another very hot and sunny day. high levels of pollen if you suffer from hay fever. 0vernight if you suffer from hay fever. overnight to night we keep that clear whether for most areas, although there will be a few patches of cloud forming in eastern areas of england and scotland. temperatures 10-16. england and scotland. temperatures 10—16. tomorrow we will see a subtle change in the weather. the change is due to this area of low pressure. pushing thundery showers towards the south—west of england, but at the same time we draw in south easterly winds and that will draw in increasingly humid air from the continent. in england and wales it will be a bit more oppressive as we go through sunday afternoon. it will probably be one of the hottest days we have seen in london with temperatures pushing into the 30s. we could see highs of 32 degrees, so

it may be thereabouts the hottest day of the year. after that humid air moves in temperatures will be slower to fall on sunday evening and overnight, so an uncomfortable night overhead. we cannot see an end to this. thisjet overhead. we cannot see an end to this. this jet stream overhead. we cannot see an end to this. thisjet stream moves overhead. we cannot see an end to this. this jet stream moves our weather around. one branch goes to the north and iceland and another goes through the mediterranean and that leaves us in this zone of high pressure. that is what is bringing us this hot and sunny weather. that is not moving fast. there is nothing to move it along, so that means more dry, sunny and hot weather with temperatures in the high 20s to the low 30s and for most of us is not a drop of rain in the forecast. it is going to be tough when it comes to the water. 23 minutes past eight is the time. easy for you to say. now it is time

to look at the papers. chief constable mike barton from durham police is here to tell us what's caught his eye. good morning, how are you? fine, thank you. big society coming to life, what is this about? there have been 5000 community groups who have taken over local assets. the picture there is of bramley bans in leeds, are listed edwardian barbs. people can get their head around it. a local pub in maidenhead. but this is about a children's centre in oxford that was only built eight years ago and a local group have ta ken only built eight years ago and a local group have taken it over. that is happening more and more, the idea ofa is happening more and more, the idea of a cooperative, a local business

been taken on by local people. being pa rt been taken on by local people. being part of it. it is accelerating up to 100 a month now. but there is a word of warning. the chap from one of the volu nta ry of warning. the chap from one of the voluntary organisations does not see where authorities are cash strapped that they hold their hands up and expect the community to come in. it isa expect the community to come in. it is a good news story and it is accelerating. and you picked a lovely picture in the daily telegraph this morning. not only is ita telegraph this morning. not only is it a lovely picture, but it also wins the palm of the day, into the fold. we like. this is the consecration, the laying on of hands, on right reverend doctorjill duff, she is now the 13th female bishop. my friend, the current dean of york minster later on this year

will be made bishop of bristol. you can see a real acceleration from when the archbishop of canterbury brought in women bishops, you can see it is really moving. it has become normal. it is normal now, but you can start seeing that balance and a real difference, but it is a gorgeous picture. taking a look at peace in the financial times, this weekend ‘s financial times, and there is some argy—bargy going on in there is some argy—bargy going on in the banking industry. we all think they all get on, don't we? they absolutely do not. but they have made peace. the rothschild family started from the german chap who came to britain and opened a bank in 1810 and they made their money supplying gold to wellington's troops at waterloo. fast forward six

generations and there is a fracturing of their business. 0n generations and there is a fracturing of their business. on one side you have got a french bank and on the other a franco swiss bank and david, the older chap on the right, he has handed over to his son alexander and he wants to give him a clea n alexander and he wants to give him a clean slate, so he has made peace on the far right with the lady who married into the family. she is the one who covered the name more than he does. rothschild is one of those names were you hear anyone with it and you think they are minted. it is like a real—life dynasty. and you think they are minted. it is like a real-life dynasty. they have made peace, but i am sure the lawyers have had a good living out of it, but they have made peace. let's talk about wimbledon. that is starting and we have been talking

about whether andy murray will be able to play. he says he thinks he may be able to play the first match. i hope he will and good luck to him as well. this is the story of numbers. there are 54,000 slazenger balls used every tournament, but this is where the balls are manufactured, abroad. up until 2002 it was a factory in barnsley that produce them all, but now it has gone out to the far east in the philippines. people there are earning 67p an hour to produce these balls. these balls are then sold at fourfor balls. these balls are then sold at four for £9. balls. these balls are then sold at fourfor £9. it is balls. these balls are then sold at four for £9. it is that contrast of first world and third world where a jug first world and third world where a jug of pins is £26 and the winners, probably deservedly, both men and women will win £2.5 million. in one

story you move through the numbers and you think about those factory workers who are probably quite enjoying life, but you just wonder about inequality. especially when you think about the effect of the job losses in barnsley from the factory closing and the fact it is the drive to the bottom with prices. and you and i will appreciate this because the former shop steward at barnsley, christine sanger, was interviewed and she says when you have gotte n interviewed and she says when you have gotten out, a little something, even 67p an hour is better than now to. we will talk to you again in an hour. thank you for looking through those stories. we will be back shortly with the headlines. hello, this is breakfast

with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. coming up before nine we'll get the weather from chris. but first a summary of this morning's main 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 ofjobs 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 sub—standard by mps. the ministry of defence says it is committed to providing high—quality and subsidised accommodation for its troops. but mps 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. animal news now. chester zoo has released heart—warming footage of the first sun—bear ever born in the uk, weighing just 400 grammes. a lovely picture. sun bears are the world's smallest bears and are a highly threatened species from south—east asia. the cub's parents were rescued from poachers in cambodia. they have clearly settled then because now they have a baby bear.

if they like the sun perfect timing for them. and embracing the sunshine, this man joins for them. and embracing the sunshine, this manjoins us today. you looking forward to a day indoors? yes it is the knockout stages so a brilliant day of football. the first of those on bbc 0ne three o'clock. so the 3pm kick off on bbc one is france versus argentina, our 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? welcome to the stadium where england will be training in a short time but the focus today the world cup after arrest day yesterday, argentina will

try to continue some of that momentum they picked up with their win against nigeria in the late france. final —— family lionel messi came to the party for the this time it seemed there would be problems with argentina struggling, on the verge of elimination and then he scored that wonderful goal. passed the nigerian goalkeeper. becoming the nigerian goalkeeper. becoming the first player in world cup history to score at the competition asa history to score at the competition as a teenager, in his 20s and in his 30s. he's now 31 with some suggestions bids could be his final world cup bust up then if that is the case he will want to go out on a high. he's the captain of argentina and there is the feeling that france are not quite some of their parts in this tournament and argentina, backed by so many supporters out

here, could come together and push on in this tournament. it should be fascinating. and we have a steady three—year—old ronaldo. later it's uruguay v portugal, another difficult one to call, i suppose a lot will depend on what ronaldo does for the portuguese? an embarrassment of riches when it comes to talent today. ronaldo has been such a force for portugal already the tournament, scoring a hat—trick against spain. joint second in the scoring charts, one behind harry came. and he will be hoping to shine again today. ronaldo is now 33, but in an interview earlier this year he said the hands of the biological age of 23—year—old and he feels that he has until aged 41. so he could have a couple of world cups left in him. he goes up against luis suarez, he has been the

inspiration for uruguay as really they have sailed through to the last 16 and that should be quite an encounter. many expect it to be a very physical encounter between these teams who really hate to lose. i think it could be quite spectacular as well with them going head—to—head. and real madrid against barcelona has the potential ofa against barcelona has the potential of a firecracker. and you're there with the england team, any news from there? and are there any clues into how manager gareth southgate might approach the game against columbia on tuesday? yesterday was all about rest and recovery after a 4:30am arrive back from the game against belgium. that did not go to plan but gareth southgate mate eight changes. what we now expect for the columbia match is gareth southgate, his first choice line—up which would be similarto choice line—up which would be similar to the tunisia game. if so that would see delhi alley coming back into the starting line—up.

harry kane of course leading the line and england would hope to carry on the momentum they built up against panama with a record 6—1 victory and hopefully that belgian match was just a blip. so we will see england's training here in the short time. 15 minutes of open training and then the door is closed and they will be able to step up their preparations. they train again tomorrow and analyte session on monday before they fly to moscow for the crucial knockout match. england not having won a single knockout match in international football since 2006. just to victory since 1990 and just six since 1966. this game also brings in the possibility of penalties. their old so. so they will need to be ready for that and they have in preparing for that we understand. there will be desperate to get back to winning ways and no excuse now, england win or they are

out. and here's how you can keep across all the action. france against argentina is on bbc one — kick—off at 3 — 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 predict 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 valteri bottas, with sebastian vettel third in his ferarri. india had the best possible preparation for the t20 series against england, which starts on tuesday. they beat ireland by 143 runs in malahide — their biggest t20 victory. after making 213 for 4, they bowled out the hosts for just 70, winning the series 2—nil. and we have the first domestic cricket final of the summer today — it's hampshire versus kent for 0ne—day cup title, at lord's. that is all the sport for now. tonsil removal, breast reductions and surgery to ease snoring will all be offered to fewer patients from next year, as nhs england sets out plans to end treatments deemed to be useless or too risky. the new measures are designed to cut waste and are expected to free up an estimated £200m.

gp brian hopejoins us now. what are your thoughts on this, do you think it would make a difference to cut back on some of these procedures? i think so because in medicine and we constantly need to look at what we're doing and decide at the end didn't make a to the patient or did it make no difference at all and potentially with any operation i would say to patients there is no such thing as a minor operation, you could always have side—effect. and if at the end it does not make any difference or could make things worse then we should not be doing it. what to think about this list, things like breast reduction, tonsil removal for the it is quite a broad list but i think what they are saying is both might still be available but they will change the criteria so you would not get your tonsils outjust

for the current sore throat but you would if you have severe tonsillitis. breast reduction, i think there is concerned it might affect the ability to breast—feed etc and often now there are less complicated, less invasive besiegers that may be just as affect that. and also we need people to think weight, but i do something myself, lose weight or be more active, strengthen my spine. all those things probably work out with a bit more effort on the part of the patient but they could be just as effective. i'm all for taking responsibility for your own health but it sounds as if you now have to be in extreme pain to get what has so far been thought of as an easily accessible treatment. i'm looking at arthroscopy is for arthritis. haemorrhoid surgery, the

removal of skin lesions on the list as well. these have all been reviewed by specialists who are more experienced in their area than i am. and each of those procedures you mentioned, the arthroscopy itself will not change whether you have pain or not. it will come back. and losing weight and being more active, thatis losing weight and being more active, that is what i say to my patients, motion is the best lotion for the and being active for many of these things, even losing weight can help haemorrhoid. but if you have really severe problems then i think what this is suggesting is you can have something done. it is not think they're not going to do it at all. so if they say they are risky and do not often work, why have we been doing this for so long? that is life, medicine is about constantly learning. i've been in this for a long time and things i used to

prescribe and do 20 years ago i would not think of doing now because the evidence changes. backdrop we thought was working actually was not doing what we thought was stuck it isa doing what we thought was stuck it is a constantly moving picture in medicine. we never reach a broad upland where we know everything. with your experience as a doctorate do you think the change is coming through now, are they being driven mostly by medical advancement or how much is budget and budget restraint coming into its? i do not think those things are separate. as an individual i do not want anything done to me that does not benefit me. as well as a doctor if i make decisions based purely on budget and not on the effectiveness for the patient that would be professional. and i think that is what this is saying, what's the point in doing these procedures when you read the advice, it is saying that these procedures involve risk and anything

involves risk and buy new way up the risk against benefit it does not stack up. some people might be watching thinking oh no, i'm worried about my tonsils or whatever it is, what should they do? if they are worried about what it might mean for them? go and see your gp and have a discussion and if it is a tonsillectomy, that is a discussion forum the ear, nose and throat surgeon but i hope they would put to that patients the benefits against the risk. and many of these procedures, we rarely get a tonsillectomy dance just as routine. many of these procedures it is almost like confirming what is happening in reality anyway. thank you very much. it is selling out there, how much longer is it going

to last? —— sunny. here's chris with a look at this morning's weather. i could see its digging around for at least a week. this is a satellite feature showing the wildfires on saddleworth moor. a plume of smoke extending out across the liverpool area, that was a couple of days ago. not so much smoke around now. for the temperatures, over the past five days we've seen temperatures reaching 30 degrees or higher of the an exceptional run of weather. more of that to come today. although we start off with quite a bit of cloud across central and eastern parts of scotland, central and eastern parts of england as well. we will see some hot spells of sunshine coming through. looking at the weather picture to the rest of the day, over the next couple of hours the cloud

will move away. the error quite fresh across north east england and eastern areas of scotland with temperatures into the mid—20s. the hottest weather today across southern parts of england and wales. just up into the low 30s. 28 degrees in london. 29 in cardiff in bed with pressure conditions in the low 20s in parts of north east england. through this evening and overnight clear spells to start off with, some cloud developing across eastern england commit eastern parts of scotla nd england commit eastern parts of scotland and northern ireland later in the night. that takes us into sunday and we have a subtle change in the weather. the winds come from the south easterly direction dragging in more humid air. so for england and wales it is more humid and we see some showers breaking out

across south—west england. those could be heavy and sundry and also quite slow—moving. 0therwise could be heavy and sundry and also quite slow—moving. otherwise it is another hot and sunny spell. with highs of up to 30 degrees in london, about 32, 33 degrees at the highest. pretty close to having the hottest day of the year so far. add a warm evening to follow. then for the week ahead, thejet evening to follow. then for the week ahead, the jet stream evening to follow. then for the week ahead, thejet stream is evening to follow. then for the week ahead, the jet stream is split into. 0ne branch going through the mediterranean and another towards anniston. we are underneath high—pressure which has been bringing this hot weather and we have more of the same in the week ahead. just some showers and the forecast but staying on the hot side with temperatures into the high 20s for much of the week ahead. still very hot.

raphael rowe was 19 years old when he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and a series of robberies he did not commit. he spent more than a decade behind bars. 30 years on and he's revisiting some of the world's toughest prisons, as part of a new series for netflix. we've been chatting to him, and taking a look at his new programme. if i was in this prison, and this is honest, if i was one of you and i didn't have any food. they are about to demonstrate that not even the dogs are prepared to eat the food that i just ate. and he is hungry.

i've just eaten a piece of meat that not even the dog, a little puppy dog who's really hungry, they are telling me, it sniffed but it wouldn't bite. i get through tonight. raphael rowe joins us now. thanks very much for joining us this morning. what was that food like? for someone like me it was horrible. these guys, that's all they get fed, on a daily basis they get the same diet day after day, week after week, month after month. but if it is all you've got and you are in prison, you should eat it. these guys don't. if they do, they re cook it and they spice it themselves, they put ingredients in it to give it flavour. but it was bland and horrible and as you saw there even a little puppy wouldn't eat it.

we need to put it into context what you were doing with us on the sofa. so you have decided to take a look at what's happening in some of the most dangerous prisons. you've been all around the world and you were there in brazil. in comparison to the rest, what was the one that stood out the most for you? brazil was always the first prison i went into. so probably the most shocking. by the time i got to the eight prison in the series, i got a little bit blase. i say that cautiously, but brazil was pretty shocking because of the violence at that place and these guys i was meeting had witnessed oro taken part in some horrific crimes. so brazil in terms of its conditions, the physical threat, and the volatile nature, it was one of the worst. what was the point of the series, what did you go out to make, was it to show if you are bad it gets worse in prison or the prison system isn't working, or communities are being built in prisons by people who have no hope of getting out? what was it you wanted to show?

i think the most important thing was to reveal the attitudes that different countries and cultures have to the way they treat prisoners. i think that probably would be the most important thing. and how those criminaljustice systems in those countries deal with public security as well as human rights. those are the pressing issues in all of these countries, they have so little resources. to provide conditions for prisoners as well as food and simple stuff, they have very little if any rehabilitation. so those are the kind of key points. public safety versus security, human rights. and obviously this is something very close to your heart given what happened to you. how did it make you feel about your time in prison when you went and visited all these other ones? thankfully these prisons are far worse than what you have in the british justice system. for different reasons.

i see these most dangerous prisons around the world, brazil, ukraine, papa new guinea, in the first series. and it is the physical violent threat that is very different. these guys live in cells, ten or 15, they had nothing but themselves and every day is a threat. in the british system, i spent all my time in single cells so i was never exposed on a daily basis. when i went to sleep the possibility that i wouldn't wake up, fear of somebody attacking me. it was a challenge to decide to go in and do this because i was wrongfully convicted, i fought to get out of prison. so to go back into prison i think it is important when someone like myself has the experience and knowledge that i go in and use that. to open the eyes and the thoughts of people who have these preconceived ideas of what prisons are like. and these places are very different to what you get here in the uk. what emotion struck you most?

i can only imagine in your circumstances it was just the feeling of hopelessness, i suppose, and just frustration. but people in prison who are going to be there for a very long time, they know that. psychologically how did they prepare for that? i don't think i met or spoke to any prisoner, despite the crimes they have committed, who did not fear for their own safety and fear that one day they would be released back into society. and they didn't know whether or not they would end up going back to prison. even if they had done ten, 15 years, they were individuals. i met a ukraine serial killer who knows he will never be released from prison, ever, because of the nature of his crimes. but he feared not having company. some people might say fair enough, though? if he is a serial killer and in prison, he doesn't deserve company? it's a measure of how we treat criminals. i agree, this guy had committed 38 murders, convicted of committing 38 murders and is never to be released. yet he was allowed, because the criminaljustice system

in ukraine allows him to marry and have conjugal visits. so you would think if anybody shouldn't have that it would be this guy. but he was allowed that and i would question that. this guy has killed men, women and children yet he still has conjugal visits with a woman he potentially could harm. a fascinating series and thank you so much. that was filmed yesterday. inside the world 5 toughest prisons will be available on netflix on friday, 6 july. it was a moment like wonder woman just spinning around. victims of banking fraud are to get new rights, when they transfer money to accounts which have been opened by con artists.

paul lewis of radio 4 5 money box programme has been looking into this and joins us now. good morning. tell us a bit about what kind of fraud were talking about. well it is a huge first of all, 44,000 people lost money last year through this broad, £236 million. so it is a huge type of fraud and one way or another people are persuaded to transfer money into are persuaded to transfer money into a criminal bank account. so you might think you're paying a solicitor may or trader that they have diverted through using e—mail, they divert you to their account. or they divert you to their account. or they do it through other ways, maybe persuading you they are genuine person and give you account details and you move the money to what you think is a safer account. but if you do it it requires the criminal to have a bank account. the question has always been wired to the banks

let criminals open bank accounts. but it is a question that the victims cannot ask because if they go to that bank and say why did you do that, the bank will say we cannot tell you, we had no relationship with you, you're not a customer. and if you go to the financial oddments months they will say we cannot look into it because you're not a bank customer. it is that that is going to change. if it is the banks allowing these thieves to open accounts why are they not liable for this? that is the big question and we have talked to uk finance which represents the banks and they say it isa represents the banks and they say it is a balance. most people want to be able to easily open a bank account and if you turn up with a dress and piece of identification you can open an account. but these things can easily be faked. please tell us that the fakes are now so good that bank staff could not spot them without extra training. of course that raises the question why are they not

giving staff this extra training but the key thing now is all these questions can be asked on the banks because when the law comes in and we think that will be at the start of next year, people will be able to go to the ombudsman had asked these questions and if the banks have not done absolutely everything to check ifa done absolutely everything to check if a new account has been opened by a thief, then the bank should be liable. do you think that this will make a difference? i think it will and it is in parallel with another development by the payment systems regulator, the person in charge of these payments going through the system and they are also introducing new rules from september which mean if the banks have not done absolutely everything to try to prevent fraud then they will be liable then. so i do think for the first time we're going to see banks paying back a lot of money to people who have been defrauded in this way because the boss look for the weak points and things like being able to

easily open a bank account has been recognised for some time but only now do something being done to push that liability onto the banks. so when they have that liability of course they will do more to stop it. thank you very much. and you can find out more about that on radio 4 at midday. coming up on breakfast we're talking video cassettes, and one man's attempts to help them make a comeback. harry potter fans are reaching that age where they are experiencing that nostalgia. you have been sending us your memories of the dhs. keep them coming in. the headlines coming up. good morning — welcome to breakfast
