good morning, welcome to breakfast with christian fraser and victoria fritz. our headlines today: a major emergency declared as fires merge on moors above bolton. firefighters say they're "rapidly developing and aggressive". council leaders call for a rise in income tax to help tackle a crisis in social care funding. new protections for people buying trips from holiday booking websites. it's the end of the world cup for two of football's greats as ronaldo and messi say goodbye to russia. good morning. another hot and sunny day. it will feel more humid compared with recent days and there with the risk of a few thunderstorms in the south—west. otherwise, it should stay dry. your full forecast is coming up a little bit later on. it's sunday the first ofjuly. our top story: firefighters are continuing to tackle a major blaze which has engulfed moorland above bolton. strong winds yesterday fanned the flames on winter hill.

around 30 miles away on saddleworth moor, crews are continuing to fight a fire which started a week ago. our reporter dave guest is on winter hill this morning. a major incident declared yesterday, dave. as the fire got better or is it worse? he stumbles into view there, dave! sorry about that, i was getting an update from the fire service. it is actually getting worse, covering an area of five square miles. fire engines are behind me, 150 firefighters are here this morning. they scaled back the present overnight but they are all back now and they have brought in fire crews from all over, one is from nottinghamshire. the fire started on thursday, it rapidly spread, a second fire then broke out and after two fires merged together yesterday is when they declared this

as being a major incident. literally as being a major incident. literally asi as being a major incident. literally as i was just talking to the fire service i asked whether the army is likely to come in today as they had done at the worth and at the moment there are not planned so that because they have brought in so many fire crews —— at saddleworth. but it could change as this is a rapidly changing situation. you can see the smoke, the mound of earth air is a trench fire service and firefighters have to prevent the fire spreading any further, they keep putting firebreaks in that obviously across the hillside you can see the firefighters there, is a —— smoke everywhere but the windy hill television transmitter is not in danger at this point. for winter hill. this is a changing situation and no one knows how it is coming to pan out. dave, we will talk to you plenty during the morning. thank you. we'll be speaking to lancashire fire and rescue service for an update just after 8 o'clock. seven out of 10 council leaders in england believe income tax needs to be raised to fund adult social care. that's according to research by the local government association,

which says more money is needed now. the department of health and social care says it will publish its proposals in the autumn. our reporter simonjones has more. with an ageing population and a squeeze on council budgets, the strains on care services can no longer be ignored. that is the message from the local government association which supports local authorities ahead of its annual conference next week. the councils in england have been able to increase council tax in recent years to help meet the cost, many say it is not enough. it is the overwhelming concern of council leaders across the country that the crisis in the funding the social ca re crisis in the funding the social care is becoming more and more acute. the nhs will fall over unless councils get extra money to help people keep in their own homes. no nhs cuts! this weekend thousands of

people marched through central london to protest what they say is the underfunding of the health service. the prime minister has pledged billions more for the nhs in england but councils are asking what about social care? a survey of council leaders and cabinet members suggest 96% believe there is a major nationalfunding problem suggest 96% believe there is a major national funding problem in suggest 96% believe there is a major nationalfunding problem in adult social care. 89% think national taxation must be part of the solution. the 20% stake in creases the income tax should be considered. just over half of english councils which provide adult social care responded to the local government association survey. here are the department of health and social care, they say they recognise the social care system is under pressure and they are committed to introducing reforms to ensure it is sustainable for the future. in the autumn, a consultation document will be published with proposals for debate. but the local government association says old and radical political decisions are needed now.

simon gerrans, bbc news. —— simonjones bbc news. tens of thousands of people have joined nationwide protests across the us against president trump's immigration policies. more than 600 events were planned with major demonstrations in washington dc new york and other cities. the marchers demanded that migrant children are reunited with their parents after being forcibly separated at the us border. 2,000 children are still being held in detention centres. millions of people who book their holidays online will be protected under new eu rules which come into force today. until now, trips booked via websites like expedia and on the beach did not have the same protection as traditional package holidays from travel agents. our business correspondent joe lynamjoe has more. expedia, last—minute kong, and on the beach are populist for booking

holidays that they are intermediaries. it means if things go wrong, they are not prickly responsible. that ends today. more and more people are buying their holidays online but they do not get the same protection as they would have got from a traditional travel agent so that these changes today, anybody who buys a holiday and the insta nce anybody who buys a holiday and the instance has an ash cloud or a hotel is not up to standard or the airline goes bust, they will be thanks to these new direct hits. 8396 book a holiday online last year. most of it was through booking sites. but only half of those holidays were financially protected if the hotel, airline or car rental company failed. it will change. but if you book each component part of your holiday separately, you will not get the new protections, as it is not considered a package holiday. when we book a holiday we usually go online and looks certain companies making sure it is like a will protect it. websites where you get really good deals for holidays, i

know we have been looking into but i feel a bit cautious going forward with that because the deals are so good that we do not know if we will get protection. i am looking protection for a holiday, i do not think that much about it, ijust usually find a kind of cheap insurance deal. the new protections, which eu— wide, only apply to holidays brought from today. if you have purchased already online and have purchased already online and have not travelled yet, you will not be covered. in that respect, travel insurance always recommended. joe lynam, bbc news. people who rent their homes could be given more security under government proposals to introduce a minimum tenancy term of three years. figures show that eight out of 10 tenants currently have contracts of six or 12 months and ministers say longer agreements would allow them to put down more roots in their communities. the rail operator govia thameslink could lose its franchises unless it rapidly improves services in the south—east of england. hundreds of thousands of passengers have faced weeks of cancellations and delays following the introduction of new timetables in may.

a government source said the process of removing franchises could start within weeks. thameslink has refused to comment but apologised for the disruption. a privately developed rocket has exploded and crashed to the ground just seconds after lift—off in japan. there you see it. but the people watching this. ooh! yes. hundreds of people were watching in shock as it fell from the sky in flames at a test site on the island of hokkaido. it was unmanned and there were no injuries reported. the rocket was developed by a company which is hoping to provide affordable commercial space flights. not the best publicity! it was japan's second attempt at sending a private rocket into space. third time lucky? let's hope so. by the time they put people on it! let's have a look at today's papers. the times, what you will see a lot

of today, the faces of the two footballing greats who are on their way home from russia, portugal and argentina eliminated yesterday, and an aside here of course a big week coming up with theresa may meeting the cabinet, the full cabinet, at chequers on friday to thrash out the blueprint for the future relationship with europe. "oust me if you dare" she says to the bullies. if she is challenged, she says she is prepared to stay and evenif says she is prepared to stay and even if she wins the challenge by just one vote. looking at the sunday mirror, prince william has vowed to make it his lifelong mission he says to bring a just and lasting peace to the middle east. well, he will not be the first or one would hope last, one would imagine, on this. he has been there five days, he has been welcomed by both and palestine. he

says this is the start of something new, this is what he has been telling his aides. —— israel. he says i will forever honour the commitments to the people i have met. these are some places you will see a lock in the world cup, and beppe, he hasjust signed with psg. he really took it to argentina yesterday, kylian mbappe. also tory education revolution, the new schools, i guess, academies and things like this, fuelling inequality in our schools around the uk. the interest of the school over the interest of groups usually more vulnerable children are coming second. so says the paper. the sunday telegraph, the big picture there of maradona, the hand of god, just want to point you to this story here, this is the one we were speaking about with thameslink given two weeks to fix the crisis or lose the franchise, govia thameslink

operate the biggest franchise in the uk, about one in four trains are on the govia thameslink lines and this is the great northern, thameslink, southern and gatwick express. the millions of people coming in on those trains every day. it is the only picture i have seen of maradona this weekend and apparently the director steered well clear of him yesterday after nigeria. cannot think why. but it was some the hand signals we saw on the screen. anyway, there we are. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines. a major incident is declared after two "rapidly developing and aggressive" fires merge on moorland above bolton. the vast majority of local councils in england thinks income tax should be used to fund, what they say is, a crisis in adult social care. here's chris with a look at this morning's weather. storms might be on the way? yes,

indeed. exactly right. we have the risk of a few thundery showers today across south—west england. otherwise, dry for most. these yesterday's temperatures. top temperature of 10 degrees. we missed out on 30 degrees but the heat was widespread and cross england and wales. the hot, sunny weather continues. we have got a change in the weather today. thunderstorms working their way up from france into south—west england, pushing into south—west england, pushing into the south—west coast at the moment. they will make their presence felt over the next few hours and the rain from them could be quite heavy so we could have some local surface water building up on some of the roads and perhaps some of these showers getting into southern wales although that is not as nailed on. elsewhere, a bit more in the way of cloud will stop this isa in the way of cloud will stop this is a week cold front. it could bring

some rain to the western isles but otherwise, a dry day. lots of sunshine and every bit as warm as yesterday, if not, even warmer. it will be quite humid across england as wales —— england and wales. we will see temperatures getting over 30 degrees today. heading into this evening and overnight, a bit of rain for the far north—west of scotland with some showers in the south—west. otherwise, a dry night. these are the temperatures at 11 pm. 23 degrees for london and birmingham. a little too warm for sleeping. the low pressure we have this weekend to the south, bringing storms in from parts of france to south—west england. the low will be influencing the weather in the next 2a hours. the risk of a few more showers across south—west england but few are. a lot more in the way of

whether —— dry weather and sunshine. it will be a slightly fresher the day. the temperatures are not quite as high during the afternoon but still warm enough. across the south in england and wales, temperatures are unchanged again. thejet in england and wales, temperatures are unchanged again. the jet stream remains split with one branch going towards iceland and the other going towards iceland and the other going to the mediterranean. we will find ourselves with high pressure over the top of the british isles and that will bring a dry, hot and sunny weather. that theme will continue in the week ahead with not a great deal of rain around, could be some isolated, thundery showers in the south but for most of us, essentially, not a drop of rain in the forecast. the temperatures continue to run into the high 20s and perhaps the low 30s in the hottest areas. the incredible heatwave is set to continue. keeping

in high on the wind as well. important for the firefighters. mexicans go to the polls today to elect a new president, congress and thousands of other representatives. but the campaign has seen some of the worst political violence in the country for decades. in one state, the entire local police force was arrested after a candidate for mayor was murdered. our correspondent will grant reports. until very recently, ocampo was a town without a police force. still hanging over the streets as the image of a dead candidate, fernando angeles, murdered in his home amid the bloodiest election campaign in modern mexican history. shortly after his killing the entire force — all 28 officers — were arrested by state police. "it was all a mistake," insists officer garcia. "we are clean policeman. if we weren't, we would

still be injail." just 2a hours ago these officers were under arrest for the alleged involvement in the murder of a political candidate. now they are back on the streets patrolling their town and protesting their innocence. the charges, which still haven't been dropped, were for dereliction of duty over the killing. the mayor is adamant his police did nothing wrong. translation: no, no, no. in this case, the local police are not responsible for protecting the candidates. that has to be requested by their political parties directly through other institutions of the state. it is hard to know exactly what happened here in michoacan, one of the most dangerous states in mexico, such are the murky links between drug cartels and state institutions. the crime rate alone has many voters wanting change in this election. but so does the economy. ocampo depends on the surrounding forests for ecotourism and logging. at this wood mill, the workers say they find it hard to make ends meet and have had enough.

translation: it is really time for a change. we want things to improve. we need so much in the country to be different. we need a new start in both the economy and the security situation. the frontrunner going into this vote, andres manuel lopez obrador, is in the lead largely because he has been saying the same thing. he has built a campaign around promises to tackle corruption, root and branch. having been runner—up twice before, this time he needs those who have promised him their votes to deliver. we'll be back with the headlines at 6.30. now on breakfast, it's the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news.

to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so, mark, what do we have this week? we have the sequel to sicario, sicario 2: soldado, leave no trace, the new film from debra granik. and shailene woodley lost at sea in adrift. sicario 2. were you a fan of the original? not quite. i am surprised. emily blunt was brilliant. she is not back this time. in this sequel, the original

starred emily blunt. they are all gone. now, we have a sequel in the age in which it turns out that trafficking people is more profitable than trafficking drugs, the authorities in america become alarmed to find out that they think that isis terrorists are coming into america across the mexican border. so, josh brolin basically enlists benicio del toro's lawyer turned hit man to run a covert operation to kidnap the daughter of a cartel owner and make it look like it was one of the other cartels to start a war, which will make them easier to fight. here is a clip. no rules this time. turning you loose. how loose? carlos reyes. how's that for loose? it's your chance

to get even for your family. are you going to help us start a war? with who? everyone. it is an odd film. on one hand, it plays into a bunch of very contemporary paranoias, the mexican border. i'm struck that this is about, it is the us—mexico border and so topical. on the one hand, it exploits those fears and later on it undermines them. as with the first sicario, no one comes out of it well, it is all shades of grey and the operation is murky. it does not work out exactly as they expect it to. on the plus side, it has some pretty well done nail—biting sequences. i have to say, nothing to match the extraordinary traffic jam sequence from the first sicario.

it is quite an interesting story, not one we have not seen before and later on, there is a point when having started off being bleak and gritty, it's suddenly gets into this area of dramatic contrivance that made me go, "oh, come on!" i do not think i was the only one to do that. i really did miss the presence of emily blunt. watching the first film, you realise how much of what you are watching was mediated through the eyes of her character, and it gave you a good way into the story. i think that is missing this time. the makers have talked about this as being a stand—alone film and i think that is the best way to appreciate it. it is a good, well made, gritty, potentially controversial, border thriller, but as a sequel to sicario, you cannot help but go yeah, but it is not

as good as sicario. if you look at it as a stand—alone, it is fine, it has some good moments but falls apart at the end. they should have made it a stand—alone movie. i think that would have helped. leave no trace — i have not seen it, but it looks gripping, fascinating, a lot of those things. if this is not in my top ten at the end of the year, i will be completely stunned. it is made by debra granik. it is the story of a father and teenage daughter living off the grid, under the radar in the forests outside portland in oregon. they have lived this kind of survivalist existence, he is a veteran with some ptsd. the authorities turn up and find them and of course when the authorities find them, they take them back into "civilisation" and they are forced to re—enter the world. the thing that is really brilliant about this film, firstly, it is a film in which it is not to do with dialogue, it is to do with action, the ways that people stand, the gestures, the looks, it is not about explaining the plot.

but what really happens is that as the father and daughter are brought back into the ordinary modern world, their responses to it are different. he is very, very against it, she starts to find some sense of kinship and it is interesting, both the director and the writer of the novel that it is based on have both cited the tempest in the background. it is about generational divides, that thing between town and country and, to some extent, but it is much more about the story of the central character, played absolutely brilliantly by thomasin mckenzie discovering your own identity, discovering that her identity is hers rather than as a part of a unit, which has been off grid with her and her father. that is fascinating. you will love it. it isjust wonderful, brilliant use of music, a couple of performances of live songs, that bit in winter's bone, you will be reminded of it. you know things will go very bad. winter's bone brought us the great jennifer lawrence of course. here, we have thomasin mckenzie,

who has made movies before, but i was not aware of her. she is fantastic. she combines the technical brilliance of a young jennifer lawrence with the openness of david bradley from kes. it is remarkable, i cannot say enough good things. your third choice this week, on the oceans. adrift, based on a true story, the young couple are played by shailene woodley and sam clafin. they have to take a boat from a to b, they set out and everything looks fine and then the weather turns very bad. here is a clip. hey! let the sheet go! what? let the sheet go now! 0k. help. take it! screaming. what?

let the sheet go now! 0k. help. take it! screaming. help me! ifeel the same. it is hard to watch. i have seen far too much

of the exerts of the film of the actual terrible moments. that reminds me of the sequence in ridley scott's white squall. the story starts after the wreck and then it goes between the story of her and his survival on the boat and then flashing back to how they got there. there have been comparisons with the robert redford film, all is lost, however, i thought, there is a film starring reese witherspoon called wild. i loved wild! i you loved that, you'll love this. at the heart of it, there is a story of a young woman finding herself whilst battling against the elements. one is on land, one is on sea. on the surface of it, there is very little comparison, but tonally, i thought they were quite similar.

i do find stories about being lost at sea utterly terrifying. it really gets under my skin. i thought shailene woodley was very good. there is a twist in it. not everyone will love it. but i thought it was well done. if you liked wild, you'll like this. if we can bear the shipwreck scenes. film of the week... it is still lek and the dogs. it is based on a play which is based on a real—life story of a young child left in moscow who lived with dogs on the streets of moscow. it is a wonderful film by andrew kotting and you will have to seek this work out, but please do, he is a talent that needs to be found by everyone. he is a reason to celebrate film—making in this country. dvd this week, the shape of water. i do not know what else to say about it, but the fourth time round, it looked even better. i just loved it. it is pretty good! and it is just beautiful to look at.

i loved the design, the performances. it's quirky. but there are elements that are very beautiful. i love the film so much that i was quoted in private eye. i have hit peak critic. mark, you can retire on that note. thank you very much. come back next week. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with christian fraser and victoria fritz. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: firefighters are continuing to tackle a major blaze which has engulfed moorland above bolton.

strong winds yesterday fanned the flames on winter hill and firefighters say it will take days to extinguish. around 30 miles away on saddleworth moor, crews are continuing to fight a fire which started a week ago. almost 90% of council leaders in england believe national taxes need to be used to sort out what's being called a crisis in funding in adult social care — that's according to new research by the local government association, which says more money is needed now. the department of health and social care says it will publish its proposals in the autumn. millions of people who book their holidays online will be protected under new eu rules which come into force today. from now on, websites like expedia and on the beach will be held financially responsible when things go wrong. the government estimates that 10 million holidaymakers will benefit from the changes. people who rent their homes could be given more security under government proposals to introduce a minimum tenancy term of three years. figures show that eight out of 10 tenants currently have contracts

of six or 12 months and ministers say longer agreements would allow them to put down more roots in their communities. the rail operator govia thameslink could lose its franchises unless it rapidly improves services in the south—east of england. hundreds of thousands of passengers have faced weeks of cancellations and delays following the introduction of new timetables in may. a government source said the process of removing franchises could start within weeks. thameslink has refused to comment but apologised for the disruption. a great white shark has been spotted in spanish waters for the first time in more than a0 years. this footage was captured by scientists and volunteers aboard a research ship operated by the spanish conservative organisation, alnitak. great whites are normally associated with south africa and australia but are, in fact, native to the mediterranean.

what is it doing in majorca? we will talk about that later in the programme. stay in the pool. do not go in the beach. no, i'm sure it is a freak. i'm sure it is fine. i was in belgium for the england game and there was a lukewarm response from there was a lukewarm response from the belgian fans and they found that they were in the top half of the draw and! they were in the top half of the draw and i have watched the games yesterday, i am of the view that we have done all right, being in the bottom. i think you were right, avoiding brazil in the quarter—finals. avoiding brazil in the quarter-finals. front and uruguay as well. —— france. quarter-finals. front and uruguay as well. -- france. the headline news is that to arguably greatest players of the generation, cristiano ronaldo and little messy are out of the world cup, argentina beaten 4—3, portugal to one so they will have to watch on from the sidelines and

think about what might have been. —— lionel messi. so ronaldo and messi will have to think about what might have been after two thrilling matches, particularly argentina's 11—3 defeat to france in kazan. a game that saw a new star shine on the world stage, as our sports news correspondent richard conway reports. messi and ronaldo — the greatest rivalry in world football, writ large. these murals greeted argentina's players as they drew back the curtains of their hotel rooms in kazan this morning. and outside, an expectant public — some desperate to catch any glimpse they could — willed their team to continue on their world cup journey by defeating france. even the best, though, can have bad days. commentator: mascherano would get near him... -- commentator: mascherano won't get near him... with 13 minutes down, kylian mbappe's speed caused havoc in the argentine defence, resulting in the 25th penalty of the tournament. antoine griezmann... france have the lead! but argentina fought back. angel di maria with a superb strike to make it 1—1... what a strike! ..before mercado redirected messi's shot

after the break to give them the lead. deflected in! the french response, though, was swift and overwhelming. pavard's sublime technique brought the scores level. and then came the knockout blows. france's teenage sensation ramming home the third... mbappe! ..and a decisive fourth. he's done it again! aguero scored in injury time to make it 4—3, but it was all too late. magnifique from mbappe, misery for messi. a changing of the guard is under way. so argentina are going home. the sun finally settling on their world cup hopes, but what of portugal? could they overcome uruguay to claim their place in the quarterfinals? with four goals already in this world cup, cristiano ronaldo perhaps sensed a chance to claim the one trophy that has eluded him so far. but uruguay struck first, and fast. luis suarez‘s whipped cross, edinson cavani with a cheeky finish. ronaldo stretched every sinew, only to hit the wall.

half—time, and with 45 minutes to turn things around, the captain rallied his men. and the response came quickly. pepe to the rescue to make it 1—1, but cavani wasn't done just yet... full—time, and ronaldojoins messi in exiting the world cup — a tournament with scant regard for reputation or fame. richard conway, bbc news, kazan. as for england, they have to wait until tuesday before they play their last 16 game against colombia. they trained yesterday in their base of repino and plan to fly out to moscow tomorrow. england may have found themselves on the so—called easier side of the draw but dele alli insists that they are not taking colombia lightly. we have to approach every game like we are playing the best team in the world. you know, there are some

topsides, no international games, easy, so far asked we are not focusing on the next games, we want to get through colombia, they are dangerous side, they have a lot of great talent, so we have to be switched on to that and not look ahead into the future to the next game. here's what's going on today — bbc one is the place to find spain versus russia at 3 o'clock. then at 7:00, it's croatia against denmark. commentary on that one on radio 5 live. valtteri bottas set a new track record to claim pole position for today's austrian grand prix. he finished just ahead of his mercedes team—mate, world championship leader lewis hamilton, and ferrari's sebastian vettel in qualifying. it's bottas's first pole of the season. wimbledon starts tomorrow, of course, and caroline wozniacki has plenty of momentum after winning the warm—up event at eastbourne. the world number two beat aryna sabalenka in straight sets to take the title for the second time, nine years after the first. and germany's mischa zverev beat lukas lacko

to win his first—ever atp title. that means he and alexander zverev are the first brothers to win a singles event in the same season for 29 years. dina asher—smith set a new british championship record to win the 100 metres in birmingham. she ran it in 10.97 seconds. she's still the only british woman to break the 11—second mark. asher—smith is building up to the defence of her european 200 metres title in berlin in august. reece prescod retained his 100 metres title, finishing ahead of zharnel hughes and reigning diamond league series champion q ujah. there he goes! hampshire have won cricket's one—day cup after posting a record score against kent. rilee rossouw hit a century as they made 330/7 from their 50 overs — the biggest total in a final at lord's. kent could never keep pace in their reply, victory going to hampshire by 61 runs. let's just return to the world cup,

and that france—argentina game. it even made an impact at wimbledon, where andy murray was trying to give his thoughts on his first—round opponent benoit paire. he is, you know, an orthodox, like with his shot selection and stuff and can be quite up and down too at sometimes so he is... i cannot believe i am missing this match, what is the score, like 11—2 or something? 3-2. there you go. should we just something? 3-2. there you go. should wejust go and...? something? 3-2. there you go. should we just go and. . . ? laughter. he isa he is a big football fan. great to see. i hate that feeling. i have had ita see. i hate that feeling. i have had it a lot this week. i wonder if he was cheering on england though. i'm confident he will be. he will be, won't he? yeah. burke road let's hope so. —— yeah...

for years, there have been warnings about the funding of adult social care with an ageing population and tightening council budgets. now, new research by the local government association has found that seven out of 10 council leaders in england believe that income tax should be raised to address the issue. let's discuss this with colin angel from the uk homecare association. he's in our london newsroom. colin, tell me a little bit about yourself because you have been involved in this industry for some time now. i have, since i was 18. for the last 11! years looking at the stability of the home care market. so in your view, in your experienced view, do you think it is fair to call this a major funding view, do you think it is fair to call this a majorfunding crisis? yes, without doubt. objections to the ageing population that we have in the uk clearly means that we are going to be paying more and more for ca re going to be paying more and more for care in the future. and the funding

has not kept up over the years. particularly as a result of austerity, so we see massive underfunding of social care at the moment. i think the local government association are quite right to say we are going to need to fund care at a considerably higher level than we currently do. what do you think adults in england are missing out as adults in england are missing out as a result of this funding care crisis, in your view? so colleagues at age uk, national charity, estimates that about 1 million people in england are facing living with a social care need, basic support needed with an activity of daily living. they are not getting support at the moment. then we have plenty of stories of people being left stuck in hospital when they are medically fit to go home or return toa medically fit to go home or return to a care home but actually, are struggling to get services organised

for them and i think that is a result of a really underfunded sector. but is throwing money at this really the solution because i understand another £150 million was given to councils to be able to deal with this and it doesn't seem to be getting better. any requirement for additionalfunding needs getting better. any requirement for additional funding needs to getting better. any requirement for additionalfunding needs to be accompanied, i think, additionalfunding needs to be accompanied, ithink, with additionalfunding needs to be accompanied, i think, with a requirement on local government to make sure the money is spent well. so that means there needs to be an onus on local government to make sure that they are putting money to frontline services but without doubt, we need more money and it really is a financial problem for the sector at the moment. colin, you mentioned the efficiency with which resources a re mentioned the efficiency with which resources are allocated. do you think, have you seen money being wasted in the area? there are plenty of co ntra cts wasted in the area? there are plenty of contracts that, by care services,

but i think could be more efficient but i think could be more efficient but that is only a small part of the gross underfunding of care. but i think really the public, if they are going to be asked to pay more in taxation, really need the assurance that their money will be spent well. and be spent well by the private sector or the public sector? who do you think are best to perform these caring duties? the majority of social care in the uk is provided by the independent and voluntary sector andi the independent and voluntary sector and i think they do an amazing job at working economically, efficiently, but need to be able to make sure that our workforce are properly rewarded and that we are buying care that meets peoples's needs. what the private companies are getting out of the business or are getting out of the business or are going bust. that is true, and thatis are going bust. that is true, and that is one of the illustrations of the funding crisis and i think this report has gotten about. organisations leaving social care, it isa organisations leaving social care, it is a business that does not make a huge return. providers operating

often very, very tight margins. they can continue to be really efficient but they cannot continue to run at a loss and a number of organisations have been doing just that over the past couple of years. colin angel from the uk home care association, thank you very much. but get a check on the weather, we will talk a lot about the fires in the north—west this morning. the firefighters are hoping for some, well, hoping the wind will drop. chris? i have this picture of the wildfires, this is a satellite photo from yesterday from nasa and this is the winter hill fire, you can see the plume of smoke extending out towards, just south of preston out towards this area into the irish sea, the red. you may be able to make up is where the fires are and the other thing that is interesting about the satellite picture from yesterday is these red.

xavi here, but is the saddleworth moor blaze and not much smoke is coming from those, so it looks like the firefighters and army at doing a good job in subduing the flames across this part of north—west england. looking at the weather picture yesterday, again, temperatures widely into the high 20s. temperatures widely into the high 205. 29 temperatures widely into the high 20s. 29 was the highest. just missing out on 30 degrees by one tenth of a degree celsius. it was actually the coolest day if you like the past six days. we have got some thunderstorms working up from france, this cloud here, and the storms are beginning to arrive across parts of cornwall, working in the devon and dorset for a time over the devon and dorset for a time over the next few hours. i'm not sure they will get the southern wales. they may just state across south—west england today. other than that, the picture is unchanged, hot weather and sometime on the cards. a wea k cold weather and sometime on the cards. a weak cold front is moving across the wild west of scotland brings a brain

to the western isles but nothing significant. for most of us, and other hot one with temperatures building into the high 20s or low 30s, humid across england and wales, temperatures 30 degrees in birmingham, the highest will be around 31— 32 today. then after a warm day, with more humidity in the atmosphere, those overnight temperatures will be slower to fall meaning at 11 o'clock tonight temperatures at 23 in birmingham and london as well so quite uncomfortable for sleeping. looking ahead, this low pressure is sat to the south of us, bringing showers across southern england. it will be widespread, fewer are around on monday, but the most of the uk there will be more sunshine but a weak cold front moving across scotland, introducing slightly fresher air across scotland. it is not cool by any stretch, temperatures still warmth of the time of year, but 21! degrees in edinburgh is not quite as

hot as the day but pleasant enough. across england and wales is where the heat is the high it into the upper 20s, slow 30s in the hottest areas. this incredible run of hot and sunny weather looks set to continue through the week ahead, most areas having not a drop of rain, plenty of sunshine and again in the warmest spot, temperatures into the high 20s, low 30s, and this type of weather might even be with us type of weather might even be with us for the first half ofjuly. i do not see any big changes on the horizon. no respite for the garden. we wa nt horizon. no respite for the garden. we want some rain. i will do my rain bands but i don't think you are ready to see that just yet. we're back with the headlines at 7:00. but now on breakfast it's time for the latest technology news, with click. can artificial intelligence

out—diagnose a doctor? britain's national health service turns 70 this week, and it is struggling to keep up with the modern world. an increasing population who are living longer and have evolving health—care needs has led to not enough hospital beds, not enough access to specialised treatment, not enough nurses, and not enough doctors. one hope is to plug the gap with artificial intelligence. ibm's watson, for instance, fed with tonnes of data about cancer, may be better at diagnosing it than human doctors, and the hope is that it could be cheaper. while some are sceptical that doctors can be replaced in this way, this week, one company claims

that its ai is now better than a doctor. jane copesta ke has been investigating. artificial intelligence has the potential to influence our lives in ways we cannot yet understand. nowhere more than healthcare, where decisions made by machines could be a matter of life and death. hi, lexa, i want to speak to baylon. hello, louise — how can i help you? at an event this week in london, babylon health claimed its artificial intelligence software can now diagnose illnesses better than the average doctor. i think i might know what is causing your symptoms. it is most likely to be meniere's disease. the company has already launched gp at hand, with the nhs, providing remote access to medical services in london. but the only involvement of artificial intelligence here was an algorithm that runs you through a symptom—checker. you would still talk to a human

doctor for the diagnosis. now babylon says its software has reached a point where it can pass a medical exam with a higher average grade than a person. what i found fascinating is that not only it performed as well as them, but in questions it had seen before, it had 98% accuracy. so once the machine learns something, it neverforgets. there are clear implications for this test for people in the world who do not have access to healthcare. since 2016, babylon have provided its healthcare service to rwanda, in central africa. sub—sa ha ran africa has 11% of the world's population, but carries a quarter of the world's disease burden, and has just as 3% of the world's medical staff. in rwanda, the country faced a particular catastrophe with its healthcare system, after suffering one of the worst atrocities in the last century.

over 800,000 people were killed injust100 days in the genocide of 1994. this memorial in kigali is the resting place for over 250,000 people who were killed in the area surrounding the capital. the genocide touched nearly every person in rwanda, decimating humid resources. when the genocide ended, there were only 198 health professionals left for a population of over 6 million. it is difficult to overemphasise the challenges of rebuilding a society after such a tragedy. but today rwanda is regarded as an economic success story, in africa. its president, paul kagame, has invited tech companies to the country to test their ideas. first drones and now artificial intelligence. we visited the offices of babylon, called babyl, in rwanda,

with the health minister. he is here to see a demonstration of how the ai triage works. the company already has 2 million registered users and has the thousands of consultations. babyl is using the same chat bot as its uk customers would use, but there are several differences here. most people use feature phones, not smart phones. so the service is provided by a nurse, who reads the text of the ai over the phone. this is the symptom checker which would refer the patient to a human doctor. with long waiting times and long walks between homes and health centres, patients using the app can save a lot of time. after speaking to the nurse via a chat bot, pacifique was able to pick up a prescription in about ten minutes. translation: you see?

the service is easy. you can use it at home and come to the hospital and they will see you immediately. babyl have employed several methods to get the message out to the general population here. they hold rallies around markets all over the country, and do a lot of on—the—street outreach. many people we met were already signed up. she has already registered. some even had appointments. translation: it is really good because sometimes you take a taxi and pay 600,000 rwandan francs, and when you reach the hospital, you find the doctor is not there. back in the uk, babylon announced the results its chat bot performance on medical exams versus human doctors. they said its artificial intelligence achieved an average mark of 81% on its first attempt, versus 72% for a human. they calculated that average based on five years of medidcal exam results. but these claims have been met

with scepticism by some senior doctors, who've question the timing of the release. i would not, with the research that i do, go public on it, and have a big media event, before putting it through the scientific process, because i want to know that the research that i am doing is defensible, is rigourous, and that my peers agree with it. and i don't think we have been through that process yet. this important debate will continue as artificial intelligence becomes more prevalent in our daily lives. certainly critical to this is finding safe and rigourously tested ways to integrate the technology into routine medical care. deep in the heart of boston's jungle of cables, something stirs. it is a cheetah. and it is off for a prowl. we are starting to see walking

robots like this trotting out of labs all around the world. now the important skill here is not that they can walk a particular route autonomously — they are usually controlled manually using games controllers — no, the amazing skill here is that they can walk and balance as competently as we can, even on the most unforgiving of terrain. ok, that is impressive. ok, that slips, loses its balance, and regains it. that is the important thing. whoa! good shot! how hard is this to do? very, very hard.

people might not notice because we move our body very easily, but we have to make sure that we know that we have actually three, four times for more neurons for muscle movement than your actual forebrain. we have 700 muscles. we are trying to mimic that with using only twelve motor. still pretty darn hard. how close are we to robots like this being of practical use? what do we still need to get right? i think we're pretty close in terms of mobility, like walking around, climbing upstairs, turning. the hardest challences is still using arms. i sent this to power plants with radiation activity is going on and we don't know if it's sensor failure or real radioactivity. but to get there you need to open doors, and opening doors is not a simple thing, you need to use arms and so on. that is where the autonomous control fails easily. so we are thinking about combining human manipulation, combined with nearly autonomous navigation.

our electric motors are very different from those you find in the factory. those cannot handle impact and absorb energy. as you can see, our robot is landing and jumping and can do quite dynamic stuff. they certainly can, as demonstrated by this exclusive look at a previously unseen manoeuvre. you cannot hear it, but our cameraman swore there. it wasn't pretty. but the thing is, it recovered and stayed upright. i know people who could not handle the recovery there.

finally, with wimbledon starting on monday, i thought i would get in some practice on a court. and, of course, i brought along my robot buddy. the tennibot autonomously patrols the court and collects the balls you lobbed, smashed, or in my case, mishit. for any ball boys and ball girls, worrying about their jobs, do not worry. this is not designed to replace you at tournaments. this is more for people who want to practise and are not very good and end up with a lot of balls in the net. you can carry on practising. it will pick them up while you are busy being rubbish. its on board camera spots the balls and the partner at the net keeps track of things too. it also has a handy and detachable basket so you can easily return your balls if you have to.

the nyou can retire to your airconditioned car and no one will ever suspect that you are the laziest tennis player alive. and that is it for the short cut of click for this week. the full—length version is up on iplayer. we're back in the us again next week. in the meantime, you can join us at bbc click. from my tennibot and and me, goodbye and see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with christian fraser and victoria fritz. our headlines today: a major emergency declared as fires merge on moors above bolton. firefighters say they're "rapidly developing and aggressive". people who rent their homes could get more security under

new government plans for a minimum 3—year tenancy. new protections for people buying trips from holiday booking websites. it's out with the old and in with the new at the world cup as two of the greatest players of their generation bow out and a teenage sensation comes of age. good morning. another hot and sunny day. it will feel more humid compared with recent days and there with the risk of a few thunderstorms in the south—west. otherwise, it should stay dry. your full forecast is coming up a little bit later on.
