thailand, hundreds of people have been fighting against the floodwater backtracked to the foot wall team on the 23rd ofjune, never knowing if the 23rd ofjune, never knowing if the boys were alive or dead inside. their parents forced to wait in hope outside. translation: it is unimaginable. i have been waiting for ten days. i never imagined this day would come. but their ordeal is not yet over. divers who reached the boys must now work out how to bring them back. translation: what we will send down there is food, but we're not sure if they can eat since it's been ten days. we still to get them out. food and medical supplies have been carried through. now, rescuers may have to help the boys scuba—dive to

safety, but that is treacherous, underwater, underground and in zero visibility. we are coming. it is ok. the choice now, do they try to train the boys all wait perhaps the weeks for the floodwaters to receive? and replied, bbc news. our correspondent, howard johnson, is in thailand this morning. just extraordinarily good news is that they have been found, but this is not over by any means, is it? good morning, yes, this is not over at all. what we have seen this morning is teams going back in there, the army has said what they need to do now is get supplies to the boys to give them sustenance. they have been down there more than a week without food. they will also try to improve the area that they are resting on at the moment. one metre or two metres just above the water level down there. they say is they will bring in four months worth of food to stock the area. what they

are thinking is the rainy season here can go on till september or october, though they will try to rule out all possibilities, make sure they have everything that they can have two keep the boys alive down there while they work out how to get them out. it has been quite extraordinary and, as you say, the rescue efforts will continue. thank you very much indeed. we'll be asking a cave rescue specialist how the boys will now be brought to safety. so many questions to be answered. we will speakjust so many questions to be answered. we will speak just after so many questions to be answered. we will speakjust after 6:30 a.m.. england play colombia today for a place in the quarterfinals of the world cup. they haven't won a game this far into the tournament since 2006, but with spain and germany now out of the running, could their luck be changing? sarah rainsford is in moscow this morning. this is a very big day for england football. it is. a huge day of

course. but talking to the fans in moscow, they are at allowing themselves a little bit of hope in england can progress through this world cup, and it is down to today's opponent, colombia, because 22 years ago when they last took on longer in ago when they last took on longer in a well cut, it was david beckham who was the hero then. he freekick taking england to victory over colombia. hurricane presumably hoping he can channel a little bit of that dated back a magic against colombia in moscow. the captain has been talking about his team and preparing for this game ahead of the match. nervous, they are excited, there is a good chance they can score, there is a bit of pressure, but that is why i like to have a routine because i know every penalty itake, in routine because i know every penalty i take, in training or in the game, lam going i take, in training or in the game, i am going through the same motions, same steps, same grieving. that is the best way to me to have the best outcome. —— breathing.

the best way to me to have the best outcome. -- breathing. we know there are not that many england fans here in moscow. it is quite an unusual world cup in that sense. the crowds haven't yet gathered. many reasons are because of politics, the haulage and violence in the euros in france two years ago that put people as england go further and deeper into this world cup, fans are beginning to try to get you to russia to see the game. those who are here already in moscow have been telling me already they are allowing themselves to be optimistic about england's chances. we probably have never had better chance of winning the world cup in forever. germany, argentina, portugal are all out, so a fairly straightforward route to the final in theory. there is a bit of confidence and optimism out here.“ confidence and optimism out here.“ confidence and optimism out here.“ confidence and optimism, that is what we hear and also some realism. colombia is no easy opponent and the

fa ns colombia is no easy opponent and the fans know that. all eyes on the big match. no huge crowds here yet, but those who are here are hoping for the best. thank you very much. we will talk about that throughout the morning here. sally is here and we'll talk about it a little bit later. an action plan designed to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual people in the uk from discrimination has been announced by the government. the £45 million proposals addresses access to health care, education in schools, and the proposed ban of a controversial ‘gay cure' therapy. nick rotherham reports. people start abusing us. these men arejust people start abusing us. these men are just three of the people that the government wants to help. are just three of the people that the government wants to helpm are just three of the people that the government wants to help. it is like torture, like a punishment. 4096 of those who answered the survey said they had been victim of a hate crime. most never reported it. said they had been victim of a hate crime. most never reported itm said they had been victim of a hate crime. most never reported it. it is very ha rd to crime. most never reported it. it is very hard to express the feelings, because we are also humans, so why people treat us like badly mr mike

moore police training has been promised, but that is not all. on the back of the survey findings, the government has drawn up a list of more than 70 things that want to do to improve the lives of the lgbtq nudity across the uk. there is still much more we need to do to enable people to thrive, to access healthcare services and to ensure that they can go about their daily business without fear or feeling intimidated. on the list, making sex education in schools more at inclusive, pointing and national lg btq inclusive, pointing and national lgbtq adviser, inclusive, pointing and national lg btq adviser, and inclusive, pointing and national lgbtq adviser, and banning attempts to turn gay people straight. any sort of treatment that suggest that being lgbtq sort of treatment that suggest that being lg btq the sort of treatment that suggest that being lgbtq the disorder, that people need curing is important to get role. the survey findings suggest the lgbtq nudity has still been less satisfied with their lives than the rest of the uk population. germany's interior minister horst seehofer says he will not resign after hours of crisis talks with chancellor angela merkel.

he said the two conservative parties in the governing coalition had agreed on how to prevent illegal migration across the border from austria. he had earlier threatened to quit, but said tighter border controls had been agreed. police on the scottish island of bute are attempting to piece together the last movements of a 6—year—old girl whose body was found in woodland yesterday. officers are treating the death of alesha mcphail as unexplained, and are keen to speak to any of the islands residents who joined the search after she was reported missing at around 6:30am. that is the number of people through social media that were alerted to this missing child and came to assist in the area. i would like those who have not spoken to the police to come forward so we can establish who was there, and we have critical information of what has taken place. the family of a severely epileptic boy have been given a special licence so they can fly home

to county tyrone from london with his medicinal cannabis. billy caldwell‘s mother, charlotte, was stopped when she arrived at heathrow airport last month with seven bottles of the cannabis from canada, prompting a debate about the availability of the drug. let's talk about the ongoing hate. —— heat. at least 15 properties have been evacuated overnight after a large grass fire downed electricity poles and cut power to homes in the carmel region of caernarfon in north wales. yes, the fire, thought to be fuelled by dry conditions and raised winds, comes as public health england maintains its level three heatwave warning across much of the south of britain. ben ando has more. a heat wave that has become too hot to handle. on the fringes of the national park in north wales, 15 homes were evacuated as burning grassland and course created a wall of fla m es

grassland and course created a wall of flames a mile long. the council set upa of flames a mile long. the council set up a rest shelter. many people went to stay with family or friends. the cause of this place is unknown, but firefighters warn those out in the countryside during this dry speu the countryside during this dry spell to take particular care when putting out cigarettes or campfires. in north—west england, fires are continuing to smoulder. yesterday, the mayor of manchester said he wa nted the mayor of manchester said he wanted to meet the home secretary to request more support for firefighters, some of whom are said to have worked 17 at an hour shifts to have worked 17 at an hour shifts to battle this flames. elsewhere, for most people, this hot weather is a welcome change, public health england has levelled —— issued a level three health warning the south and south—east england. the alleged scheme was developed after the deaths of 2000 people during the heatwave 15 years ago. a disintegrating nike trainer worn by michaelj fox in the back to the future sequel has sold for more than £70,000. that is a lot of money. a lot of

money for that. maybe it is worth it. this left shoe, made for fox in his role as marty mcfly, was worn in the 1989 sequel, which sees marty and doc brown travel to a futuristic 2015, where shoes have power laces. in the film, it has power laces. i love power laces. the trainer is so fragile, it was only made available to buyers in portland, oregon, as it would not withstand further transportation. the money raised will go to fox's foundation for parkinson's research. go into the right place. absolutely. another exciting night of football, wasn't it, sally? last night was crazy. i don't know where to start. we could talk about last night all we could look to tonight. it is the big day. it is finally the biggest

game ina big day. it is finally the biggest game in a decade. certainly, the biggest game in eight years, so talking about england, obviously. we will talk about it in a more detailed in asset —— more detail in a second. england wins in knock—out matches at world cups have been collectors items in recent years. but gareth southgate has urged his young side to write their own history when they play colombia in the last 16 in moscow tonight. what a match it was in rostov last night as belgium survived an almighty scare, coming back from 2—0 down to beatjapan 3—2. west brom's nacer chadli scoring the winner with the last kick of the game. meanwhile, the world's most expensive player, neymar, inspired brazil to a 2—0 win over mexico the the day's other knock—out tie. they'll play belgium in the quarterfinals on friday. serena williams is through to the second round at wimbledon. the 7—time champion didn't have it all her own way, though, against aranxa rus of the netherlands, eventually

winning, 7—5, 6—3. no problems for roger federer either. chasing a ninth title at the age of 36, he eased past dusan lajovic in straight sets. rafa nadal, novak djokovic and kyle edmund are all on court this afternoon. i was at wimbledon yesterday and it was gorgeous. glorious. sony, beautiful. think we had far too much fun because they sent me back here. we will let you go back. carol is there, and it is a little bit cooler. comeback, always forgiving. lot fresher than it was yesterday. lookout quiet it is, looking across wimbledon, it was absolutely packed yesterday. often,

you think wimbledon fortnight as being a wet one. but in actual fact, during the championships history, it has been rained off two times of. in 1932 the weather was so bad that the grounds were plagued by rain every day and it took three weeks for the tournament to be completed. forecast full wimbledon today is a dry one. we are looking at highs of project celsius, the best of the sunshine first thing this morning, turning hazy as we go through the day. the forecast for us all is not a bad one, warm and mostly dry but there is a chance of showers. looking at the forecast for nine o'clock, a lot of dry weather and sunshine, but we have a bit more cloud coming in from the north sea. northern ireland has clearer skies, much of northern england, similar story. around northumberland we have the clout coming from the north sea. further south through wales and the

midlands there are bits and pieces of cloud but essentially it is dry, breezy, to that south—west a lot of dry weather and showers in the south—west, producing showers too across the channel islands. through the course of the day what you will find is this clout coming in from the north sea should burn back to the north sea should burn back to the coast. it will take longer across north—east england and you may find pockets will stick. seabreeze, always cooler on the coast and a lot of sunshine but a noticeable breeze if you are in the southern counties. yesterday our top—up richer was in bournemouth, today the top temperature is more likely to be 27 or 28. through this evening and overnight we will see more cloud coming in from the north sea drifting across parts of scotland, northern england as well. — risk of showers across the south—west and coming in from the south—east and the channel islands of. temperatures overnight fall into between 9— 16. a wee bit of clout

around tomorrow and we can see the odd shower across western scotland into the south—west and a few potentially coming up towards the south—east. at this stage we think that wimbledon should stay dry. temperatures down a touch. again, looking at the mid— 20s, some of us seeing high 20s but as we had was the weekend, once again temperatures will go right back up again and we will go right back up again and we will be looking at temperatures into all around the 30s. back with you a little bit later. coming up. you have got this on here, the daily mirror and you should explain to us, these are the manager ‘s words. right your own history, those are

his words. if there is anybody who can tell them to forget about history it is him because he was weighed down by his it experiences in international football for so many years, if there is one person to deliver that speech, it is him. very exciting. we have probably got a more tough team than any of those shot from the last knockout round of. do you mean england? look at russia knocking out spain and we have got colombia, they are pretty good. that is the difference. let's take a look at today's papers. these young boys at their cage

system found yesterday, just amazing. we know we will try to get them food and supplies. we will be speaking to someone in the next 15 minutes who is an expert cave diver because it is not as simple as swimming out. on the front page there, it is worth remembering these problems are ongoing for those firefighters who are trying to look after more blazes, they are carrying on and a lot of focus on looking ahead, friday showdown. the cabinet meeting about some kind of policy where we are going for the eu. on the front of the guardian, the treasury increase in fuel duty. how many times have we talked every budget is 2010 at that fuel duty freeze is. talking about raising

money somehow to pay for extra nhs cost could fuel that. the impact on the pump? from the effect of when that goes into play, that would be when prices go up. and this one, interesting, roger federer serves up a new sponsor. interesting, roger federer serves up a new sponsor. hejust interesting, roger federer serves up a new sponsor. he just turned interesting, roger federer serves up a new sponsor. hejust turned up in a new sponsor. hejust turned up in a new sponsor. hejust turned up in a new kit? he did, it was all strange because nobody knew about it beforehand. there have been whispers for a few days that he was leaving nike and was going to go to uniqlo. it was bizarre to see him without it. £20 million a year for ten yea rs. it. £20 million a year for ten years. when you see the crowds of people who queued to see roger federer, that man has got power. they have got a grass —— grass of

what happened to nike stocks. did you say £20 million for ten years? every year. it was interesting because he had that rf logo, but nike and the logos to that. that will be an interesting one. shall we? back page of the mirror, harry kane. the back pages are full of england, i want to talk about one thing is that the ever seen a england team more willing to do silly poses like this one? look at this one. i really admire harry kane, all of them, they have all played their part. look at this. all of them are doing all sorts of daft poses for the papers and they don't care. do you know what, there is a

lack of vanity about this england side that i love. look at him, there he is wrapped in the flag. as charlie said, gareth southgate's words to them, write your own history. people keep saying are you nervous, i am history. people keep saying are you nervous, iam not history. people keep saying are you nervous, i am not remotely nervous and you know why? i am not playing. you will be when the national aid in place and you look at their faces. and we are1—0 place and you look at their faces. and we are 1—0 up with one minute to go. i am listening to gareth southgate's words and i am being confident. so many people will be watching, gran satchell hasn't travelled to russia, but he may have found the next test place. —— next best. is excitement building, graham? we are in south—east london, it is a festival of flags of. every single

flat has an england flag on it or a flight flat has an england flag on it or a flight of the nation that they live at. is their expectation here? i am not sure, maybe hope, that england's young, fearless team can put wrong some of the failings of the past world cup. let's have a quick chat. england fans on one side and colombian fans on the other, if you look at the corner, there are colombians on this estate. chris. good morning to you. how are you feeling about this tonight? not nervous at all. and i would be lying. it is starting to kick in the. it gets real now because this is crunch time. it is happening, definitely happening, we thought it would happen, it is happening and we have got to go with it. we were last —— we were here last week, explain all the flags. there is quite a few plans —— all the flags. there is quite a few plans — — plans all the flags. there is quite a few plans —— plans —— flags over 300, we

have french, brazilian, colombian, rock and, portuguese, spanish, polish, those are flying out even though they have been knocked out, we asked them to leave them up. brilliant world cup, let's have a chance —— chat with your colombian friends. how are you feeling? excited, mixed emotions, nervous and ashamed that we had to meet at this stage because one team has to go home. it is really sad, but we are 0k, happy, go to have a good time. home. it is really sad, but we are 0k, happy, go to have a good time! good spirit on the whole estate. for people who don't know anything about colombia, tell us about the colombian team because they are a good team. yes, we were a good team four years ago. a finalist against brazil. this year we are not that good, but we are going to make it, nice and strong —— not as strong,

but we will get there. what is your prediction? 2-2 and a think we will win in extra time. please they say the word extra time. what is your prediction? so difficult because both teams are really good. i want to say the best one will win. that is true, the best team will win. we hope that is what happens. now, who has got the world cup? what is your name? bolivia. who is going to win the world cup? england. —— olivia. all eyes will be on the england and colombia game tonight, especially at this estate, there will be a big screen up. this estate, there will be a big screen up. we have ourfingers crossed for a good game, can we say that? we are being fair, good game.

centres for their owners security have been told they will not be taken into certain local schools in the area. ahead of five academies also is children sent by councils are vulnerable and the government is to intervene. the government says it supports london councils to place children as close to home as possible. patients diagnosing their illnesses on the internet and a heightened awareness of cancer are some of the radical changes which from the surgeon, who qualified in the same month the nhs was born, has noticed. harold ellis says the pressure that would be put on the health service as a result of his own su ccess health service as a result of his own success of hadn't been thought of them. the original idea was, as we get the country fit, it will cost less money, people will not fall ill. not realising that making the country fit will make all of these

old aged pensioners requiring hip replacements and the cost was going to rise and rise. hidden painting thought to be by the artist lucien freud has been discovered in suffolk. it was found in a cellar three years ago and had been painted over by a friend of his, who recycled the chemistry and the second world war. it is now expected to fetch £30,000. looking at the travel now. there are problems already, the victoria line has severe delays due to an earlier temporary shortage of trained staff. the central line has severe delays too, that is because of a signal failure. south—western railway ‘s sake delays are possible in an out of waterloo because of the hot weather. track temperatures are expected to reach 48 degrees. on the roads in edmonton, one road is down

weekend is looking hot indeed with more sunshine expected to most of this week. i'll be back in half an hour, bye for now. hello this is breakfast with louise minchin and charlie stayt. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: if the heat‘s leaving you struggling to sleep, we've got some top tips for keeping your cool overnight. can england do it again against colombia? yes...yes, they can! we'll be asking robbie savage if england fans should dare to dream of going all the way in russia. and funny girl superstar sheridan smith will be here to talk about her new film, and why we should all be more upfront about mental health. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. can they? yes, they can.

the boys trapped in a cave in thailand have been found alive, but they could remain stranded until october, as heavy rainfall hampers rescue efforts. british cave divers discovered the boys yesterday, nine days after they disappeared. rescuers face a daunting logistical challenge to bring them out of the cave system safely, and are taking them four months worth of food. this was the moment british divers discovered the boys. we will be talking to expert divers here this morning, trying to work out what are the options to get those boys out of the cave network. that is coming up a little later on.

england take on colombia tonight in moscow to fight for a place in the quarterfinals of the world cup. the national team haven't won a knock—out game at a major tournament since 2006, and gareth southgate has called it england's biggest knock—out game in a generation. an action plan designed to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and tra nsgender people in the uk from discrimination has been announced by the government. the £4.5 million proposals addresses access to healthcare, education in schools and the proposed ban of a controversial ‘gay cure'. labour says the plans don't go far enough, and shy away from real change. germany's interior minister, horst seehofer, says he will not resign after hours of crisis talks with chancellor angela merkel. he said the two conservative parties in the governing coalition had agreed on how to prevent illegal migration across the border from austria. he had earlier threatened to quit, but said tighter border controls had been agreed. police on the island of bute

are attempting to piece together the last movements of a 6—year—old girl whose body was found in woodland yesterday. officers are treating the death of alesha mcphail as unexplained, and are keen to speak to any of the island's residents who joined the search after she was reported missing at around 6:30am. there is the number of people, through social media, that were alerted to this missing child and came to assist in the area. and i would really like those who have not spoken to the police to come forward in the fact that we can establish who was there, and then we have critical information of what has taken place. tributes have been paid to a 3—year—old girl who died after being thrown from an inflatable trampoline on a beach. the family of ava—may littleboy said she was no ordinary little girl. they said she made a lasting impression on everybody she met. ava—may died in hospital after being thrown from the inflatable at a norfolk beach on sunday. the family of a severely epileptic boy have been given

a special licence so they can fly home to county tyrone from london with his medicinal cannabis. billy caldwell‘s mother, charlotte, was stopped when she arrived at heathrow airport last month with seven bottles of the cannabis from canada, prompting a debate about the availability of the drug. you are right up—to—date with all the latest news. guess what we are going to talk about? how will we get through the day? we have quite a long time. we will have to have a rest in preparation. have you any snacks planned, a programme planned? i know i will be watching it. haven't decided where. probably at home. at home? snacks? seven o'clock, kick—off, is that right? you are are not having snacks, you

have not responded. my choice is the crisp. i love crisps. a big dagger crisps. i will have a think of that one. can we have some kind of colombian snack? we'll hear from gareth southgate in just a moment, but this world cup continues to deliver drama of the highest level — and last night was no different. it was incredible. it's the last seconds of injury time. belgium had come back from 2—0 down and were drawing 2—2 with japan when this happened. west brom's nacer chadli finishing off a brillint, sweeping move to give belgium a 3—2 win and a place in the quarterfinals. i had to say, ifelt i had to say, i felt desperately sorry forjapan at that point, because they have been so well organised, they played brilliantly. belgian made some clever changes and thatis belgian made some clever changes and that is what happened. almost the last kick of the game. belgium will play brazil in the last eight on friday after the world's

most expensive player, neymar, inspired them to a 2—0 win over mexico. neymar scored the opener and then set up the second. he may have inspired his team, but neymar has been widely ridiculed for his play acting. i shouldn't laugh. where was he hurt? his head, leg. his boot was hurting? it went on ages. ijust think it is wrong. it is awful, isn't it? why is he doing that? somebody stepped on his foot. that is basically what happened. at the head, the side —— it is wrong. even at even a good actor. if you are going to do it, raise your game of it. so here we are then, another knock—out match for england at a major tournament, and you wonder how this one will end. penalties? red cards? dramatic defeat? or will they just surprise us all and win it really easily?! it is of course colombia for england

in the last 16 of the world cup in moscow tonight. loads of england fans will be feeling very nervous this morning, but the players looked pretty relaxed despite the fact that we're at the point of the tournament where penalties come into play. once we get to that point, we know oui’ once we get to that point, we know our ranking of players and what we have seen, not just our ranking of players and what we have seen, notjust with us, but over a number of years in players that have taken more into matches than others, so we are prepared. but there is a lot football before that point. if it goes to those stages, thenl point. if it goes to those stages, then i will definitely be one to put my hand up and obviously we have worked enough, practice, and i have confidence in my ability to score he has said it now, hasn't he? it was boiling at wimbledon yesterday, but that didn't slow down serena williams. the 7—time champion through to the second round courtesy of a straight—sets win over aranxta rus of the netherlands.

british wildcard katie swan reached the second round for the first time as she shocked world number 36 irina—camelia begu. the 19—year—old won 6—2, 6—2 in just 56 minutes on court 14. she did brilliantly. in the men's draw, roger federer did as roger federer does on centre court, belying his 36 years to glide into the second round. the top seed is chasing a ninth title at the all england club and never looked flustered as he eased to a straight—sets win over dusan lajovic. does he ever look flustered? both british number ones are in action today. kyle edmund is first on court1 against australia's alex bolt. johanna konta faces natalia vikhlyantseva, a russian who has never won a match at wimbledon. you'll remember last year, konta impressed all in the locker room by baking them cakes. well, novak djokovic has put in a request. he wants a cake. but he's got a very strict diet that doesn't include gluten.

i spoke to him yesterday because i wa nted i spoke to him yesterday because i wanted to check what he can and cannot have. though i have more parameters. now i will put my thinking hat on and try and come up with something because i haven't actually ever created anything. i think it might become a bit of a hybrid. i am seeing what things i can create with substituting some ingredients. spare a thought for ireland's graeme mcdowell. he was supposed to be playing a qualifier for the open championship today. but he's had to pull out because he's lost his clubs. can you imagine that? well, an airline's lost his clubs to be more accurate. lots of people suggesting that he should just borrow some clubs, but he says he can't because he wouldn't be able to properly compete. surely you just get a club and give ita surely you just get a club and give it a waca, don't you? i think

someone it a waca, don't you? i think someone is going to piles of suitcases that clubs. -- whack. you might takea suitcases that clubs. -- whack. you might take a favourite one on the plane. you might not be allowed. england's cricketers are back in t20 action this evening. they're facing india at old trafford in the first of three t20 internationals, and if you're looking for good omens for the england team, look no further. the last time england played a t20 at old trafford was on 24thjune, the same day that england beat panama 6—1. that is clutching at straws. sorry. thank you very much. see you later. lets go back to our main story this morning. after nine days of darkness, two british divers finally shone a light on the 12 missing boys and their football coach trapped deep in a thai cave. it is an amazing story. it was the moment everyone had been hoping for since they disappeared last month. but as we've been hearing in the last few hours, the task of getting them to safety is far from over. so where will they start? let's ask bill whitehouse,

from the british cave rescue council. good morning. it is wonderful news that they have been found. we have seen that they have been found. we have seen that extraordinary image and spoken to them. what is next? the divers are in revolt, you have had some contact with them. yes, we have had messages with a bit more information. what have they told you? a bit about the dive, that they we nt you? a bit about the dive, that they went in, they had to go through about 1500 metres partly flooded and partly open passage, bits of flooded passage and a bit above water and so forth. the description in his e—mail was it was a bit of a gnarly dive, which means their work obligations and problems. quite a strong flow, current, so they were having to swim against the current and pulled themselves along the walls. the

visibility in the water wouldn't have been very good. they have been diving over the weekend since the conditions got better and this was the last of the dives. we were hoping when they went in at 630 in the morning that this would be the day when we might learn something one way or the other, but about four o'clock when we got the message, it was announced on the radio that they had been found and you think, is that right? wait for the confirmation. that was quite a moment, i tell you. it is confirmation. that was quite a moment, itell you. it is a confirmation. that was quite a moment, i tell you. it is a moment so moment, i tell you. it is a moment so many people all around the world, waiting that moment. it is nothing short of a miracle that they have been found. safe and well. give us a description of where they are. you have seen as much as i have from that film that one of the divers took when they broke through to the chamber. clearly, fairly small chamber, they managed to keep out of the water, but onlyjust of course i

imagine. complete darkness, i don't know what lights they had, whether they have any left. they seem to be in bare feet, shorts and t—shirts for the football, so they haven't got much with them. they certainly had nothing to eat, although they would have had water. help us with the basics on this. do you have an idea of how long, now they know where they are, how long will it ta ke where they are, how long will it take a dive boat to go from entering the cave complex to getting to where they are now? very likely, one of they are now? very likely, one of the divers said in one of his report that a round trip, in other words from the dive through to them and back again, around three hours. that is underwater. these are hugely experienced cave divers. now, here the news that they are found anything, great. they are so far

from theirfamilies anything, great. they are so far from their families in anything, great. they are so far from theirfamilies in some anything, great. they are so far from their families in some ways. elleker that the complexities of trying to get them out of there. yes, it would be the moment of euphoria when they had been found, and then pause... now what? now what? that is what they will be going through and they will be planning meetings to look at the options. the options seem to be, the ones that are coming through, do we feed them and supply them where they are, bearing in mind that their biggest pressure of course is when is it going to start raining again? it is the monsoon season. they will be lucky to have more than a few days without rain. once it starts raining again, diving may become impossible. there will be two things. beat the deadline, they need to get supplies so they can sit it out for a lot longer if necessary, and the second one is how can they be brought out? diving them out is

really the last resort, but it might be the only possibility. can they know the shore, and i know you are not there so it is hard to know these things, can and over sure the cabin —— and they are in will not fully submerged? i don't know. that will depend on the water conditions, how big the next flood isn't so forth. i haven't got an answer to that one. i know you will be back to talk to us later and we will speak to our correspondence out there as well. there may be further developments. thank you so much. it is 6:45am. it's day two at wimbledon and carol's down there with the weather for us this morning. isn't it beautiful? absolutely deserted at the moment, it will be later on. the flowers are said to represent tennis in an english

garden and are all from british growers or suppliers and sourced locally. the weather for wimbledon todayis locally. the weather for wimbledon today is dry, hot sunshine, the best in the morning and it will turn hazy to the course of the day but there isa to the course of the day but there is a noticeable brees. forecast is another dry and sunny day, but there is the risk of some showers. some of us are is the risk of some showers. some of us are already seeing them. to the north of the country at 9am you can see north of the country at 9am you can see for much of scotland and northern ireland and england, dry and semi start to the day. for the east coast we have a bit more cloud which has brought onshore. it is the same across north—east england, we have a bit more cloud here. south of that into wales and the midlands, we are back into blue skies, it is breezy this morning and there is some clout around and for southern counties, similar stories. a lot of blue skies but cloud is around and

thatis blue skies but cloud is around and that is producing some showers across the south—west first thing this morning. through the course of the day, slowly the cloud coming in from the north sea will push back towards the coastline. it will be a slower process around north—east england, some of it could stick here, but for many it will be dry with a shower risk across the south—west and more across the channel islands. today it is likely to be to seven or 28. again, in the north of the country and out on the coast we are looking at temperatures in the mid—or high 18. pollen levels are high and uv levels are high. overnight looking at a lot of clear skies to start with and more cloud coming in from the north sea, more than previous nights and temperatures dropping to about nine -16. temperatures dropping to about nine — 16. tomorrow we start off with all

of this clout, some of it pushing back towards the north sea and tomorrow there is risk of showers across south—west england and some coming up from the south—east. at this stage we expect wimbledon to stay dry and temperatures once again roundabout below to mid— 20s for some of us. then the outlook remains fairly similarto some of us. then the outlook remains fairly similar to the weekend where it stays largely dry with france are taking the far north of scotland which could produce showers and you may see the cello elsewhere. looking at temperatures hitting 30 once again. you look lovely amongst the flowers, see you look lovely amongst the flowers, see you in half an hour. no flower arrangement for the business area. there's another warning about brexit from the business world. still loads of negotiations to be going on. with theresa may set to reveal her new customs plan to the cabinet later this week

the pressure on the government for decisions on post—brexit trade, is mounting — not least from big business. this morning the british chambers of commerce — which represents 100,000 businesses across the uk — says little progress has been made in addressing some of the crucial questions its members need answers to. it set out 24 key areas that businesses want clarity on — things like tariffs, duties, rules of origin and border inspections. so far it says limited progress has been made on just two of these, with no progress at all on the rest. firms say the lack of clarity is causing a "significant slowdown" in business investment, with many having second thoughts about expanding in the uk. this morning's warning follows others from big companies

like airbus, bmw and siemens, who have all said they could reconsider their long—term commitment to the uk if we leave the eu without a deal. we can talk now to adam marshall, the head of the british chambers of commerce. he's in our london newsroom. good morning. can you give us some real life exa m ples good morning. can you give us some real life examples of out what is happening in british business right now because we are leaving the eu next year? you have a lot of firms who say that lack of clarity is forcing them to cancel their planned. that is notjust about big businesses. small to medium sized firms trying to figure out how they can trade. whether it is an it company in the south—west thinking about setting up an office on the european continent or whether it is about a supply chain company in the automotive industry is wondering whether it is french and german customers will keep buying from them. there are a lot of businesses

affected and we have got to see clarity as quickly as possible. many of your members would have voted to leave the eu and we speak to businesses who are positive, there are many out there who are not worried. there are plenty of businesses with plenty of opinions about what sort of deal we should have. but i think there is a real unity amongst firms that it has been two years since the referendum, we need to start getting clarity on the practical questions we are asking like who can i hire and how long they can stay in my business. what rules i need to follow, is in trouble going to be disrupted and might flow of goods to my customers be disrupted. these are practical, basic and real—world questions and thatis basic and real—world questions and that is early to start getting a nswe i’s. that is early to start getting answers. when we hear we will get word of another type of customs planned that will happen at the border and we hear that this plan

will offer the best of both worlds, so will offer the best of both worlds, so that will be an independent trade policy so we can negotiate with whoever we like after we leave the union and friction free trade as well. when you hear that, what do you think? that doesn't answer the helicopter concerns of many businesses, it is up at 30,000 feet in the clouds. businesses want to know whether their goods will get stopped at borders or additional paperwork to fill out, or paying ta riffs paperwork to fill out, or paying tariffs and what sort of rules they will have to comply with. it is only a nswe i’s will have to comply with. it is only a nswers to will have to comply with. it is only answers to those questions at that granular level will give businesses the certainty and security that they need to make big investments and keep trading. i mentioned a few, airbus being one of them. jeremy hunt said those comments from airbus we re hunt said those comments from airbus were completely inappropriate and the government should ignore siren voices. is that there? i do think

any politician should be criticising businesses for expressing their views on this big issue in our country. it is only right that business people large and small have the ability to express their views. some might have positive things to say, others might have concerns. all of those voices need to be heard because at the end of the day it is business that creates employment, puts tax revenue in check and keeps vitality going. everybody has a right to have a voice in this debate. a close one to watch this week. this idea that we don't have any detail on but could be the one that the cabinet agreed we need to ta ke to that the cabinet agreed we need to take to the european union. the minister will be here for that meeting. it's a week to go until the raf‘s centenary celebrations when up to 100 aircraft will take part in a flypast

down the mall and over buckingham palace. it's one of the most ambitious flypast attempts in a generation. breakfast‘s tim muffett is at raf coningsby where preparations are under way. good morning to you from the raf. what a fantastic collection of aircraft. behind me you can see a land caster and there are spitfires, hurricane aims and you might catch an older car to. a week today, one of the most ambitious flight paths ever attempted by the raf will hopefully take place over london the. today at raf cran well, a rehearsal is going to be taking place with many of those aircraft. this is a hugely ambitious undertaking. the planning has taken 18 months. there has never been anything quite like it. i have been taking a look at how this very

ambitious event is coming to hopefully take place. fly pasts are spectacular. skill and planning are vital. but one of the most complicated flight passed the mac in the history of the raf is fast approaching. the national air traffic centre in hampshire, where the world ‘s biggest airspace over southern england is controlled. has been a massive challenge, 100 aircraft, and through from slow aircraft, and through from slow aircraft to the fastest and trying to space them accordingly. from the land caster, to the new, lightning jack, which will fly over london for the very first time. the variation in speed will be enormous. —— lightning jet. up here is the wash going into the north sea, the aircraft will come into the wash with the typhoon in this area with

all other elements holding around here and then the slower ones joining to eventually come in to fly over buckingham palace at this point. without had to establish restricted airspace, the largest that has ever been established for anything in the uk. this is a live shot of london at the moment and the red zone would be blocked off airspace. that is correct. the main challenge is how can we get is an out of aircraft through this airspace as safely and as efficiently as possible. the aircraft will be taking off from 14 raf airspace as and three civilian airfields. they have all got to arrive in the same place at the right time in the right order. the view is that it is the most complicated piece of air—traffic control over attempted. it is kind down to five seconds, if they are not at the right point at the right time then they split out and the rest of it goes ahead without them in it. weather is a mac it —— massive one. if it is not right, it

cannot go ahead to. a once—in—a—lifetime fly past, as long as the weather is right. and the weather is the crucial thing. it is all about the cloudbase and how low it is. if it is to a certain height, some aircraft will get stripped away. pingelly, the plus side is that at the moment the forecast is looking positive. fingers crossed it will go ahead. today a rehearsal will be taking place, doubling up. trying to get the sense of how things will come together. next week it will be a big deal indeed. hopefully the weather will be right. fascinating. the time is 6:57i will be right. fascinating. the time is 6:57 i am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. this weekend is gay pride london, and the biggest survey of lgbt people has revealed that more than 2,000 people in the uk have

undergone conversion therapy to ‘cure' them of their sexuality. some christian ministers are involved in the practice, with the government saying it'll tackle the issue. another concern for organisers this weekend is the lgbt charity, stonewall withdrawing from the event over concerns about a lack of diversity and racism in the gay community. patients diagnosing their illnesses on the internet and a hightened awareness about cancer are just some of the radical changes which a surgeon from east finchley, who qualified in the same month the nhs was born, has noticed about the health service. 92—year—old dr harold ellis says the pressures that would be put on the health service as a result of its own success hadn't been thought of. the original idea was, as we get the country fit, it will cost less money, people will not fall ill. not realising that making the country fit will make all of these old aged

pensioners requiring hip replacements and the cost was going to rise and rise. a hidden landscape by london artist lucian freud has been discovered under a pub sign painted over by one of his friends. it was found in a cellar three years ago with the name lucian written on the back. the painting is expected to fetch 30,000 pounds at auction. let's have a look at the travel situation now. victoria line: severe delays due to an earlier temporary shortage of train staff. and a signalfailure is causing severe delays on the central line. on the roads, in edmonton — the north circular road is down to one lane eastbound — at the kenninghall flyover because of emergency repairs. let's have a check on the weather now with rich. good morning.

it is set to be another lovely, sunny day today. plenty of blue skies and sunshine expected through this morning, over lunchtime and this afternoon as well. uv levels pretty high and the pollen count will be pretty high as well. temperatures today peaking at 37 celsius. it won't be feeling quite as hot. as we make our way into this evening, we will see some clear spells to begin with and eventually there is a chance we will see cloud bubble up as we reach the early hours of tomorrow morning. temperatures overnight falling to 12 celsius, it will be just a little bit cooler, not as muggy and humid as it was last night. a bit more of a comfy nights sleep. tomorrow, a fresh start. a small risk we could see the odd shower, but on the whole it is looking dry with sunny spells, cabbages at 25 celsius. heading through the rest of the week, you can see they are steadily rising, but the weekend is looking hot indeed with more sunshine expected through most of this week. i'm back with the latest

from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning. the headlines today: found alive but authorities say 12 schoolboys and their approach could be trapped in a cave for months. how many of you ? be trapped in a cave for months. how many of you? 13? really end. feeling nervous yet? gallas —— gareth southgate wants his side into the end of the world cup. they've painted on, the flags are up on the fingers are crossed. can england to get the failings of the past and get through to the quarter—finals of the world cup?

the fans are excited. one group of experts things are world cup win could boost the economy by £2 billion. i will explain how a little later. we will find out why 100 planes are preparing for the most ambitious player passed in a generation. good morning from wimbledon. it is a fresh start than yesterday. we are looking at a largely dry day, a warm day with a few showers in the south—west. i will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it is tuesday the third ofjuly. the schoolboys trapped in a cave in thailand have been found alive, but they could remain stranded until october as heavy rainfall hampers rescue efforts. british cave divers discovered the boys yesterday, nine days after they disappeared. rescuers now face a

daunting logistical challenge to bring them out of the cave system safely, and have taken them four months of food. this is the moment the 12 missing boys realised that they would survive, hearing the voices of british experts sent to help with the search. outside on the hillside in northern thailand, hundreds of people have been fighting against the floodwater that trapped the football team on the 23rd ofjune, never knowing if the boys were alive or dead inside, their parents forced to wait in hope outside. translation: it's unimaginable. i've been waiting for ten days. i never imagined this day would come. but their ordeal is not yet over.

divers who reached the boys must now work out how to bring them back. translation: what we will send down there is food, but we're not sure if they can eat since it's been ten days. we still need to get them out. food and medical supplies have been carried through. now, rescuers may have to help the boys scuba—dive to safety, but that's treacherous, underwater, underground and in zero visibility. we are coming. it's ok. the choice now — do they try to train the boys or wait perhaps for weeks for the floodwaters to recede? andrew plant, bbc news. let's go to our correspondence in thailand as morning. good morning. the best possible news for those families of course, an amazing to see families of course, an amazing to see those images. now, the real

question is about what happens next. yes, good morning. what we are seeing this morning is the entire army going down through the cave network, through the tunnels, these flooded chambers to get to where the boys are on a little mud bank a metre above the waterline. what they will try and do is give them sustenance and give them energy gel to support them and try to make that area where they are a little nicer to beat. they have been there for a week in his muddy, dark and damp cavern. they will bring in four months of food and water to get them through potentially what could be a very rainy period. the rain approaching this area. this is the rainy season and it lasts for months. that is why they are bringing extra supplies to make sure they cover all eventualities. tell us they cover all eventualities. tell us about the operation that is ongoing. a huge scale of operation, and as you explain, presumably now,

many more people will be involved. thailand has thrown all its resources at this issue. down the road from me, behind me they had been pumping out 10,000 litres of water and our lot. they say it falls by one centimetre of water and power. behind me is whetherfamilies have been saying this week, and behind that, that is where the first aid will be administered when the boys come through. what we are seeing is lots of people pulling together. over here, people cutting pineapple for the support search and rescue workers. the whole country pulling together to get these boys back home and back to safety. thank you very much. earlier we were speaking to a british cave expert, and he will be back at eight o'clock to talk to us about the real convocations of getting them out. today you may have noticed is the day that england fans have been waiting forfor quite a day that england fans have been waiting for for quite a while. of

course, harry kane is making the front pages. look at this. the message that counts. these are the words. write your own history, boys. that is the front page of the mirror. penalties, we have got a bottle. these are the five men who would take penalties if it would be necessary. is it necessary? here is hoping not. harry's happy had -- band of others. let's go to our correspondence in moscow for us this morning. there is a lot of anticipation i think for this. good morning. there is huge and building up morning. there is huge and building up to morning. there is huge and building uptoa morning. there is huge and building up to a big dave england here in moscow. the russian capital, the stage for the next match. this is a game which the pressure is really building on for england. one reason

that the fans i have been talking to are allowing themselves to be a little but optimistic is their opponent, colombia. the last i england and colombia met in a world cup encounter was 20 years ago, and on that day, it was david beckham who was the real hero. a freekick taking england to history. they might be hoping to pull off something similarfor might be hoping to pull off something similar for this team. harry kane has been talking about how the team is preparing for the match. nervous, excited because there is a chance you are going to score, there is a bit of rasher, but thatis score, there is a bit of rasher, but that is why i like to have a routine so that is why i like to have a routine soi that is why i like to have a routine so i know every penalty i take, in training ora game, i'm so i know every penalty i take, in training or a game, i'm going through the same motion, saying steps, same breeding and that is the best way to me to have the best outcome. -- breathing. the england fa ns outcome. -- breathing. the england fans are not here in huge numbers for this match, quite unusual. it is mainly colombian fans we have seen

here on red square this morning. i have in speaking to some england fans. they are daring to be optimistic about how far england might go. the draw has opened up beautifully for us and we have probably never had a better chance of winning the world cup since forever. germany, argentina, portugal are all out to a fairly straightforward route to the final will stop in theory. i don't know, there is a bit of confidence and optimism out here. a fairly straight route to the final, that is what he is saying. optimistic, confident, but this colombian team is no easy opponent. yet this is a world cup of course of surprises. let's hope the surprises go the right way. thank you very much indeed. we will talk about it later. sally will be here. kick off at seven o'clock. an action plan to defend people has been announced by the government. a proposal addresses access to

healthcare, education in schools and the proposed ban of controversial 93v the proposed ban of controversial gay killer. labour says plans don't go far enough and china from real change. we will speak to the minister ina change. we will speak to the minister in a few minutes time. germany's interior minister horst seehofer says he will not resign after hours of crisis talks with chancellor angela merkel. he said the two conservative parties in the governing coalition had agreed on how to prevent illegal migration across the border from austria. he had earlier threatened to quit but said tighter border controls had been agreed. police on the scottish island of bute are trying to piece together the final moments of a six—year—old girl whose body was found in woodland yesterday morning. residentsjoined the woodland yesterday morning. residents joined the search for the girl who was reported missing around 6:30am. the cause of her death remains unknown. how scotland correspondence james shaw is on the island. alicia was in reported

missing early yesterday morning. a few hours later, the six—year—old's body was discovered a member of the public in woodland where police have since been carrying out detailed investigations. her death has caused immense shock and sadness in this small island town. detectives will want to understand exactly what happened to her as quickly as possible. there have been heartfelt messages of sympathy and support on social media. flowers and cards have been left close to where alesha was thought to have been staying. at the moment, police are describing her death as unexplained. they've sought to calm people's fears about how she died, but they do need the public‘s help to make progress with their enquiries. there is a number of people through social media who were alerted to this missing child and came to assist in the area and i would really like those that have not spoken to the police to come forward in the fact that we can establish

who was there and maybe have critical information of what has taken place. the investigation into the death of alesha mcphail is onlyjust beginning. james shaw, bbc news, on the island of bute. the heat wave is continuing to cause problems as at least 15 properties have been evacuated overnight because of a large grassfire in caernarfon in north wales. the fire, thought to be fuelled by dry conditions and raised windsor comes as public health england maintains its level three heatwave warning across much of the south of britain. those are the main stories. i have the weather and all the details on how the weather will affect you today with carol coming up little later on. or than two thirds of lg btq later on. or than two thirds of lgbtq will in the uk avoid holding hands in public due to fears about negative reactions. many are still

experiencing prejudice on a daily basis according to a new government survey. the 100,000 people took part in the research that helped shape the government's new action plan aimed at tackling discrimination. any modernjoins us now aimed at tackling discrimination. any modern joins us now from westminster. good morning to you. thank you for your time. taken through what you think are the most significant of the findings. when you just is probably the saddest, not a navel to walk down the street and hold your partners hand. there are also some very and hold your partners hand. there are also some very extreme and hold your partners hand. there are also some very extreme result in there. 7% of respondents had teams objected to so—called conversion to repeat, so this is not counselling, as people explore their gender identity or their sexual orientation. it's very extreme, harmful practices which can include corrective rape to try and so—called cu re corrective rape to try and so—called cure someone from corrective rape to try and so—called cure someone from being gay, which of course you can't do. those practices, we want to ban. tell us

about the money that you are allocating to this, and just what will that do? we have, in the action plan, 75 separate policies, which are going to be acted on by many public services. in addition to that, £4.5 million which we are going to distribute to lgbtq it to really help us make that change. we will be announcing later on how those groups can apply for the funding. that is really important because what ultimately we are trying to deliver here is a culture change, a change in our public services to enable lgbtq to a lack — — a ccess services to enable lgbtq to a lack —— access them and ensure those services are tailored to them, and a change in society so that people can feel able to walk down the street and hold their partner's can. money is tight in all departments at the moment. we have to ask where the money comes from. it is coming from the government equality public office budget, so additional money

for those public services. so this is new money, not being taken away from elsewhere? no, it is taken from the government equality office. from elsewhere? no, it is taken from the government equality officem terms of measuring whether anything is making a difference, how will you go about trying to check whether any of these plans are having any tangible difference? the survey gives us a great baseline to work from. it is the largest survey of its kind ever undertaken in the world and that will enable us to track progress and how people are feeling about how they are supported as they go about their daily lives, but each policy that we are announcing today, we will be holding the government departments to account for it. for example, on healthcare, we are having a national lead on healthcare for lgbtq will appointed, and that person is going to be responsible for ensuring that the good track this is identified and that it is rolled out across the nhs. each of these 75 different

policies, we will be having a mechanism to hold those organisations who are delivering those services, but also the government departments to account.|j wa nt to government departments to account.|j want to ask you a couple of questions in connection with what is happening later this week. are you going to the meeting on friday in chequers? i am, yes. that is an easy one, a definite yes. elleker that the atmosphere approaching that occasion. people say there are unprecedented levels of ugliness within the tory party at the moment, extraordinary things being said on social media between a respected colleagues, words like blackmail. what you make of what is going on right now? i don't, and i want to reassure people, whether they voted for brexit all whether they voted for brexit all whether they voted for remain, that we, as the cabinet, will be looking at these issues on

friday and, as the prime minister has said, we will publish a white paper next week. what we need to do is keep our eyes on the ball. we need to look at the detail. much has already been agreed. it is just some outstanding issues that we need to work through, and that will be done on friday and we will unveil the white paper next week. that is what people want, they want us to focus on getting a good regs it and energy spent on anything else is wasted energy —— brexiters. spent on anything else is wasted energy -- brexiters. when you say much of the refrain agree, as i already understand it, as of yesterday, theresa may was presenting what is called the third plan, on customs arrangements. did you know about the third plan yesterday? we are briefed and kept up—to—date on all of these issues are. there is a lot going on across our departments and government and there are clear processes for clearing particular... that is not

answering the question. the reason i ask in that particular way is that you will be aware that there is an enormous amount of frustration from people, however they voted, enormous amount of frustration from people, howeverthey voted, in connection with brexit. they think it is so late in the day and my understanding is that possibly you and quitea understanding is that possibly you and quite a few of your colleagues didn't know there was a third plan until yesterday. is that true? no, didn't know there was a third plan untilyesterday. is that true? no, i am sorry, we are discussing these matters on friday. i can only give you my personal view, but i have personally felt that even though i am not on the brexit committee, that i have been kept informed with new developments and new ideas that are coming out. i think that all cabinet members and all colleagues need to focus on thejob members and all colleagues need to focus on the job at hand. that is what the public want to. they want us what the public want to. they want us to look at the detail, they want us us to look at the detail, they want us to look at the detail, they want us to get into that and they want us

to come up with the best possible dealfor this to come up with the best possible deal for this country. that is what we need to focus on, that is what i will be doing this week and on friday and next week we will publish a white paper which will set out, across all areas of government and all areas that the public want to know what the new deal is going to look out —— look like, will set out our position. anything else is a waste of energy. thank you for your time this morning. dei cheering of wimbledon, carol is there and has found a friend. —— dei two. —— day two. this is bonnie, isn't she living up to her name? absolutely beautiful. she is a springer spaniel, 16 months old and she is working, so we have distracted her for a few minutes to show you how perfect she is. if my

ca ptors show you how perfect she is. if my captors watching at home he will be furious, ronnie is so highly trained, her trainer is within shot and is doing everything that she says. look at that, down she goes! the weather here is a more fresh start, but it should stay dry today. looking at a higher, around 28 celsius, a notable breeze and what you will find is that we'll have some hazy sunshine into the afternoon. for all of us today, looking at a mostly dry day. a lot of sunshine around, the chance of a few was more likely in the south—west. pollen levels today are very high and the uv level is very high today. for scotland, a lovely start to the day for most, blue skies and a bit more cloud. northern ireland starting off with blue skies and northern england, blue skies. in

the north—east and in northumberland we have had quite a bit of clout from the north sea and that will ta ke from the north sea and that will take time to run back to the coast. for the midlands, east anglia and wales and the southern counties, lot of dry weather and clout, but showers across the south—west of what one or two possible across the channel islands. as we go through the course of the day, that cloud will burn back and await but across parts of north—east england we could see some parts of north—east england we could see some pockets stick. away from that, showers and the south—west. for many of us, dry, sunny and warm. yesterday's top temperature was 31 in bournemouth. and it will be tempered by the breeze in the south and also the sunshine turning hazy in the south as cloud develops through the day. into the evening, early evening sunshine and overnight, more cloud coming in from the north sea. a bit more, a fairly fresh night and temperatures falling between 8— 16 celsius. so we start

off on that note tomorrow, a fair bit of sunshine around, a bit of clout around the sting in the morning and they will be thick enough. westonzoyland, south—west england, the channel islands and some showers from the south—east. for wimbledon it should stay dry and temperatures very similar to today. we are looking at highs around 27 or 28. we see high—temperature ‘s return as we had towards the weekend. how well—behaved is bonnie? is in she absolutely gorgeous? she is utterly brilliant. thank you very much carol. capable of doing an entire weather forecast while stroking the dog and being wordperfect, which is a skill in itself. thanks charlie. 7:22am is the time right now. we will talk about the world cup began. the

english players saying there are doing it for the fans back home, how doing it for the fans back home, how do their supporters feel ahead of tonight's knockout match? graham has gone to one place where they are flying the flag. we are on an estate, the flags are everywhere, the fingers are crossed, face has started and just as we go this way, they are flying from every single flat. we have a bunch of fancy, not just england, colombian as well. morning to you! how are we feeling about the game tonight? very confident. are you really? england's history is so terrible at this stage. the way it has gone, you cannot tell, it could be anyone's game. it will be a massive party without colombian neighbours. palace about the colombian team. should england be worried? they should be very worried, we have been

underestimated, underrated but we will give them a big surprise. you look at the games we have had so far, japan nearly beat belgium, anything can happen. anything can happen, but it has to be coming home with us. i predict a winter night, 3-1. with us. i predict a winter night, 34. no with us. i predict a winter night, 3-1. no one has been foolish enough to look forward beyond this game because we are in the better half of the draw. is there hope? there is always hope and we will always believe, that is why we are in it, we have to believe. who is going to win tonight? england. what is the score? a win. it cannot go to penalties. is your prediction? 2-2, we win at extra time. 2-2, extra time. a bit of extra time going on the. what you think? 3-0. there is

only one way to sort this out, on the picture. we have a drum going on here. and we have got a bit of colombian percussion here. so we will have a sing off. everybody ready? here we go. it's coming home! i don't want to get too worried but there is quite a lot of enthusiasm on the right of our screen. a great atmosphere! absolutely brilliant. ram, thank you. —— graham. quite a crowd for 7:25 ram, thank you. —— graham. quite a crowd for7:25a.m.. ram, thank you. —— graham. quite a crowd for 7:25 a.m.. 7pm, the match tonight. here is how you can follow the rest of the match action.

amazing things can happen. i have rarely seen you so optimistic. why not? what are you going to do? you are watching breakfast, still to come, tim is at raf colons, where preparations are under way for the biggest everfly preparations are under way for the biggest ever fly past in the raf‘s history. good morning. good morning to you. a week today, over 100 aircraft will be flying over central london in what is one of the most ambitious flight path's in raf‘s history. today at raf cran well, about 20 miles from where we are, a rehearsal will be taking place with many of those aircraft. you can see a modern typhoonjet many of those aircraft. you can see a modern typhoon jet here as well. they will be finding out from the people taking part in how they go to

organise it. it is incredibly complicated, talking to them a little later and getting details of. first, here is the news and the weather the travel where you are. good morning. an action plan designed to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and tra nsgender people in the uk from discrimination has been announced by the government. some christian ministers are involved in the practice, with the government saying it'll tackle the issue. another concern for organisers this weekend is the lgbt charity, stonewall withdrawing from the event over concerns about a lack of diversity and racism in the gay community. patients diagnosing their illnesses on the internet and a hightened awareness about cancer are just some of the radical changes which a surgeon from east finchley, who qualified in the same month the nhs was born, has noticed about the health service. 92—year—old dr harold ellis says

the pressures that would be put on the health service as a result of its own success hadn't been thought of. the original idea was, as we get the country fit, it will cost less money, people will not fall ill. not realising that making the country fit will make all of these old aged pensioners requiring hip replacements and the cost was going to rise and rise. a hidden landscape by london artist lucian freud has been discovered under a pub sign painted over by one of his friends. it was found in a cellar three years ago with the name lucian written on the back. the painting is expected to fetch £30,000 at auction. let's have a look at the travel situation now. victoria line: severe delays due to an earlier temporary shortage

of train staff. and a signalfailure is causing severe delays on the central line. other roads in the area also affected. here is the weather. good morning. it is set to be another lovely, sunny day today. plenty of blue skies and sunshine expected through this morning, over lunchtime and this afternoon as well. uv levels pretty high and the pollen count will be pretty high as well. temperatures today peaking at 37 celsius. it won't be feeling quite as hot. as we make our way into this evening, we will see some clear spells to begin with and eventually there is a chance we will see cloud bubble up as we reach the early hours of tomorrow morning. temperatures overnight falling to 12 celsius,

it will be just a little bit cooler, not as muggy and humid as it was last night. a bit more of a comfy nights sleep. tomorrow, a fresh start. a small risk we could see the odd shower, but on the whole it is looking dry with sunny spells, cabbages at 25 celsius. heading through the rest of the week, you can see they are steadily rising, but the weekend is looking hot indeed with more sunshine expected through most of this week. i will be back in half an hour. hello. this is breakfast with louise minchin and charlie stayt. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the boys trapped in a cave in thailand have been found alive, but they could remain stranded until october, as heavy rainfall hampers rescue efforts. british cave divers discovered the boys yesterday, nine days after they disappeared. rescuers face a daunting logistical challenge to bring them out of the cave system safely, and are taking them four months worth of food. this was the moment british divers

discovered the boys. yes, we will be speaking to a spokesperson about some of the options they have at this stage. a very difficult logistical operation to get those boys out of the cave complex. an action plan designed to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and tra nsgender people in the uk from discrimination has been announced by the government. the £4.5 million proposals addresses access to healthcare, education in schools, and a ban of a controversial ‘gay cure'. labour says the plans don't go far enough, —— labour says the plans

don't go far enough. germany's interior minister horst seehofer says he will not resign after hours of crisis talks with chancellor angela merkel. he said the two conservative parties in the governing coalition had agreed on how to prevent illegal migration across the border from austria. he had earlier threatened to quit, but said tighter border controls had been agreed. police on bute are trying to piece together the final moments of a 6—year—old girl whose body was found in woodland yesterday morning. residents joined the search for alesha mcphail, who was reported missing at around 6:30am. the cause of her death remains unknown. the heatwave is continuing to cause problems as at least 15 properties have been evacuated overnight because of a large grass fire in caernarfon in north wales. the fire, thought to be fuelled by dry conditions and raised winds, comes as public health england maintains its level 3 heatwave warning across much of the south of britain. the family of a severely epileptic boy have been given a special

licence so they can fly home to county tyrone from london with his medicinal cannabis. billy caldwell‘s mother, charlotte, was stopped when she arrived at heathrow airport last month with seven bottles of the cannabis from canada prompting a debate about the availability of the drug. you might remember. we have spoken toa you might remember. we have spoken to a few times. those are the main stories this morning. it is time to catch up with the weather with carol a little later on. at 7pm, most people will not be thinking about the weather, will they? they might be wearing what will sally is wearing. i did think you had changed, but i think it looks great. about the impact on the economy, not only people eyeing more crisps and like you, sally, but also

wa istcoats crisps and like you, sally, but also waistcoats as well. i am sure many people are wearing waistcoats over their dress. i think it looks good. what you think? it is really smart. southgate has struggled because he says it has been a bit hot. southgate has struggled because he says it has been a bit hotlj southgate has struggled because he says it has been a bit hot. i bet it is hot. some of the other managers, there has been a variety of looks. the one chap with a t—shirt, the v—neck t—shirt. the one chap with a t—shirt, the v-neck t-shirt. some go to the whole suit and tie. roberto martin s, classic suit. some of the managers are very, classic suit. some of the managers are very, very. we have southgate leading the way. his words... is words are more important. ithink his clothes are basically a representation of his words, but he is saying let's write history. no pressure then. here we are another knockout match for england at a major tournament, and you wonder how this

one will end. penalties? red cards? dramatic defeat? or will they just surprise us all and win it really easily?! it is, of course, colombia for england in the last 16 of the world cup in moscow tonight. loads of england fans will be feeling very nervous this morning, but the players themselves looked pretty relaxed, despite the fact that we're at the point of the tournament where penalties come into play. once we get to that point, we know our sort of ranking of players and what we've seen, notjust with us, but over a number of years in players that have taken more into matches than others, so we're prepared. but there's a lot of football before that point. if it goes to them stages, then, you know, i'll definitely be one to put my hand up and want to take one. obviously, we've worked enough, practised them and, you know, i've got confidence in my ability to be able to score one. maybe the next one i should get one

of those zip up tops, look one of the squad. maybe not. this world cup continues to deliver drama of the highest level, and last night was no different. it's the last seconds of injury time, belgium had come back from 2—0 down and they were drawing 2—2 with japan when this happened. west brom's nacer chadli finishing off a brilliant, sweeping move to give belgium a 3—2 win and a place in the quarterfinals. at the last moment. and belgium will play brazil in the last eight on friday after the world's most expensive player, neymar, inspired them to a 2—0 win over mexico. he scored the opener and then set up the second. although you would have thought he had scored it by his reaction. i don't think he inspires much here. you have to laugh. what is wrong with him? has he been stung by a bee in the head? it is like he has been electric heated. —— electrocuted.

someone had stepped on his foot. not great. it looks silly and ridiculous, but it is not what you wa nt to ridiculous, but it is not what you want to see from people playing the game at the very highest level. it wouldn't have gotten away with that at wimbledon. it was boiling at wimbledon yesterday, but that didn't slow down serena williams. the 7—time champion through to the second round courtesy of a straight sets win over aranxta rus of the netherlands. british wildcard katie swan reached the second round for the first time as she shocked world number 36 irina—camelia begu. the 19—year—old won 6—2, 6—2 in just 56 minutes on court 14. in the men's draw, roger federer did as roger federer does on centre court. the top seed is chasing a ninth title at the all england club and he never looked flustered as he eased into a straight—sets win over dusan lajovic. both british number ones are in action today — kyle edmund is first on court1 against australia's alex bolt. johanna konta faces

natalia vikhlyantseva who has never won a match at wimbledon. off court, konta is a keen baker, and this year, novak djokovic has put in a request. only problem is that he's gluten free. well, i actually spoke to him yesterday because i wanted to check what he can and cannot have, so i've got more parameters. so now i'm going to put my thinking hat on and actually try and come up with something, because i haven't actually ever created anything. so, i think now it might become a bit of a hybrid on seeing what thing i can create with substituting certain ingredients. now, spare a thought for ireland's graeme mcdowell. he was supposed to be playing a qualifier for the open championship today. but he's had to pull out, because he's lost his clubs. he has quite a good excuse. an airline's lost his clubs to be more accurate. lots of people suggesting that he should just borrow some clubs, but he says he can't because he wouldn't be able

to properly compete. i completely agree with him. you need your own kit. i might have to source one of those waistcoats. either how i compare to gareth southgate. i had to work on the beard, haven't i? we'll get you a tyre. i beard, haven't i? we'll get you a tyre. lam beard, haven't i? we'll get you a tyre. i am tempted to say something -- -- tie. thank you. let's get back to the weather. many of us across the uk have been enjoying the recent heatwave, which forecasters say could last for at least another two weeks. that will be good news for some, but after public health england issued two level 3 heatwave warnings for some parts of the uk, for others, the warm weather has been less welcome. so who has been most affected? hundreds of firefighters

have been tackling moorland fires across the north of england for over a week with at least 100 army personnel also called in to help. last night, homes were evacuated in north wales after a fire there burnt powerlines down. on friday, residents in northern ireland had a hose pipe ban imposed for the first time since 1995 after a 30% surge in demand for water. then, on sunday, the met office issued a weather warning for thunderstorms and lighting, the first time it's done so in its 164—year history. and yesterday, public health england issued a level 3 amber heatwave warning covering the south—east and west of england — that's just one level away from a level 4, "national emergency". here to talk about how all this might impact on our health is dr barbara murray. we will concentrate on the personal aspect of this, how it affects

people health, sleeping patterns, those sort of things. it is a worry. yes, those who are quite fit and well were struggling. imagine those who are not so fit and well, what difficulties they are having, especially the elderly, the vulnerable groups —— vulnerable groups, disabled, children, they are all quite vulnerable. especially people can't move around and do things for themselves. those of us who can, we need to look out for those people. some of these are quite obvious. sunburn is obvious, dehydration for example is a problem. yes, well, we are advising to preserve water as much as we can, and keep your fluid to preserve water as much as we can, and keep yourfluid levels up, drinking regularly, small amounts, particularly elderly people not moving around much, have a bottle of water close to them, stay in the shade, keep the room cool, identify which room in the house is the

coolest and spend the heat of the day, then that time there. one thing, suffering, feeling hot and bothered and quite another of actually having medical issues. when that that become a problem? how do people notice that? once the temperature is about —— above 25 regularly and buildings heat up and don't call down at night, then when people start to feel generally unwell, tired, non—specific symptoms, especially people who say for example are on certain forms of medication, blood ——a tablet, even some forms of antidepressants, antihistamines, can affect how we regulate the body heat. people who are generally unwell, cardiac problems, they are particularly at risk. so recognising those signs, i'm not feeling too well, i don't feel like doing anything, then

perhaps that should trigger a sequence of events, and you feel particular unwell, contact the doctor, social services can come and check on the elderly, make sure the houseis check on the elderly, make sure the house is safe and they are not at risk. i haven't had anybody talking about not looking at child or an elderly person or vulnerable person ina caroranimals. elderly person or vulnerable person in a car or animals. sleeping at night, when it gets warmer, people struggle with that. warmer weather just trying to get some sleep can become a problem. loose cotton clothing or no clothing. just as sheets, having a fan if you can tolerate the noise of a fan, having a bowl of cool water with some ice in front of the fan. my little tip, which i think is good, is to get a hot water bottle but fill it with cold water and put your feet on it will cut lead, and if it warms up, replace it. having yourfeet

will cut lead, and if it warms up, replace it. having your feet in cold water, if you have a bowl of cold water, if you have a bowl of cold water nearby, keep your feet cool, a flannel to put on your wrists. you will be doing well if you can go to sleep with your feet in a bowl of water. you might laugh, but when i was very water. you might laugh, but when i was very pregnant at this time of year, i had a bucket of cold water by the bed and i used to sit up, stick my feet in a couple of minutes and feel much better. i did not sleep with my feet in the bucket. wet towel. very good. that is a great piece of advice, that at that of —— the bucket of water. great piece of advice, that at that of -- the bucket of water. carroll, due have any sleeping tips?|j of -- the bucket of water. carroll, due have any sleeping tips? i have got fans on in my room all the time, it was hot air but at least it is cooler. at night i can to keep my windows closed because it lets the stuffy air come inside. the heatwave is set to continue for a while yet,

really warm and lovely at wimbledon and you can see really warm and lovely at wimbledon and you can see we are on court really warm and lovely at wimbledon and you can see we are on court two. it was opened in 2009 and has a capacity of over 4000. but look at the grass, it is pristine. at the moment, whether it will stay like this is anybody‘s guess. now, talking of wimbledon, the forecast todayis talking of wimbledon, the forecast today is dry, lot of sunshine around, the bluest skies will be in the morning with more cloud over the course of the day. our top temperature is 28, with a noticeable breeze. for most of the uk today we are looking at a dry, sunny and warm day. pollen levels are high or very high, the uv level is also high. we start the forecast at nine o'clock,

lot of sunshine to start with but in the east we have had a lot of cloud coming from the north sea overnight. from northern ireland we have clear skies, again, north—east england and northumberland has the same cloud coming in. living south of that again, wales into the midlands and east anglia and southern counties, lot of sunshine, we will see more cloud of the day but already we have showers across the south—west and we could see one or two in the islands. through the day, the cloud that we have which has come in from the north sea will burn back towards the coastline, most of it turning away but across north—east england we could see some at stake. we will see showers continue in the south—west but they are hit and miss with a bit more cloud coming across southern counties. as a result, temperatures standing out from yesterday. yesterday the top temperature in the uk was 31 in bournemouth and today it is more likely to be tied to seven or 28, always cooler along the

coast. evening sunshine to look forward to but overnight we will have more cloud than overnight coming in from the north sea, spreading from the west. our overnight lows roughly between eight and 16 and still some showers in the south—west, the channel islands and also some starting to come into the south—east. we start with a showers tomorrow, not all of us will see them, it should stay dry. a cloudy start for some and that melting away and some sunny spells coming through. temperatures similar to today, looking at twitter seven, 28, cooler on the coast but if you like it hot it looks at the height averages will return as we head into the weekend. thank you very much in the. we are having a hot debate about whether one should wear wa istcoats or about whether one should wear waistcoats or not. simple answer, no. sally made it look a little bit

better. the reason is, it is like a tea m better. the reason is, it is like a team west coast, why? —— waistcoat. partly because of the economic increase to england if they win the world cup. marks & spencer, who supply england with their suit and that west coast —— waistcoat, will they think they have seen sales up 2596. they think they have seen sales up 25%. here he is looking much better than ina 25%. here he is looking much better than in a jacket and much drier. that is the big problem, a waistcoat in this weather, i am not fully convinced it is the right thing to be doing. anyway... the reason we are talking about this... are you going to do business? we can. all of this is, don't interrupt gate ——

interrogate me too much. how often do we talk about retailers moaning about the snow? maybe they get a bit ofa about the snow? maybe they get a bit of a better time. heatwave has been helping. that heatwave we've just been hearing about combined with the world cup has undoubtedly given retailers across the country a much needed boost. tv sales have doubled in the same period over the world cup competitor last year. —— impaired to last year. —— impaired. —— compared. sales of televisions atjohn lewis, for expample, have doubled compared tesco say they put 75,000 giant screens in stock. retail analysts

look at things, the spending that we do that we wouldn't ordinarily. tesco said 60 million snacks have put aside for the world cup, working out 26 packets of crisps per second throughout that time. that will be a boost because that stuff, you might not go out and buy a sixpack. is that include scratchings? you would assume. what a trying to say?|j that include scratchings? you would assume. what a trying to say? i am just wondering. —— what are you trying to say. —— pork crackling is. —— pork cracklings. the boss of the beer and pub association has taught us that actually they are starting to see a bit of a boost. it has been great for the public industry, we have had

three matches at the times of the day, worth 14 million extra points to the pubs. that could do worse, in sales, a boost of over £50 million for the pub trade. so presumably a lot rides on tonight from an economic point of view? lot rides on tonight from an economic point of view?” lot rides on tonight from an economic point of view? i hope they are considering this, looking at the gdp figures before they go to play. the further we go, they reckon if we end up winning the world cup, there could be a £2.7 billion boost for retailers over that time. so it does have a tangible effect, at the end of the day, whether these figures are right or not, it is nice to see the retailers having a bit of a better time after what has been quite a relentless run of bad news for them. hopefully that might help people keep going. can i breathe out now? thank you very much. it's a week to go until the raf‘s

centenary celebrations when up to 100 aircraft will take part in a flypast down the mall and over buckingham palace. it's one of the most ambitious flypast attempts in a generation. breakfast‘s tim muffett is at raf coningsby where preparations are under way. good morning. good morning to you. what a fabulous collection of aircraft they have. behind me you can see a aircraft they have. behind me you can see a lan caster, —— lang caster,. a modern typhoonjet can see a lan caster, —— lang caster,. a modern typhoon jet and the fabulous spitfire. in a week's time, one of the most ambitious fly past will be taking place at. today, at raf cran well, about 20 miles from here, a rehearsal will take place with a slightly fewer number of aircraft taking part. 18 months in the planning, i have been finding out just how it in the planning, i have been finding outjust how it has all come together. fly pasts are spectacular. skill and planning are vital.

but one of the most complicated flypasts in the history of the raf is fast approaching. the national air traffic centre in hampshire, where the world's busiest airspace over southern england is controlled. it has been a massive challenge, 100 aircraft, coming through from slow aircraft to the fastest and trying to space them accordingly. from the lancast bomber, to the new, lightning jet, which will fly over london for the very first time. the variation in speed will be enormous. up here is the wash going into the north sea, the aircraft will come into the wash with the typhoon in this area with all other elements holding around here and then the slower ones joining to eventually come in to fly over buckingham palace at this point.

without had to establish restricted airspace, the largest that has ever been established for anything in the uk. this is a live shot of london at the moment and the red zone would be blocked off airspace. that is correct. the main challenge is how can we get is an out of aircraft through this airspace as safely and as efficiently as possible. the aircraft will be taking off from 14 raf air stations and three civilian airfields. they have all got to arrive in the same place at the right time in the right order. the view is that it is the most complicated piece of air—traffic control ever attempted. it is timed down to five seconds, if they are not at the right point at the right time then they split out and the rest of it goes ahead without them in it. weather it is a massive one. if it is not right, it cannot go ahead. a once—in—a—lifetime fly past, as long as the weather is right. the forecast full weather today it

would be brilliant. pitfall blue skies. that have a quick chat. you work on the typhoon aircraft behind you, what has it been like trying to plan this? so, it has been a huge logistical challenge. i guess you could think about the level of activity is roughly the same to what we would have on a normal day, we have compressed into a short space to get the aircraft off the runway. the aircraft we see behind us here, what is this like to work on? the aircraft we see behind us here, what is this like to work 0mm the aircraft we see behind us here, what is this like to work on? it is an amazing piece of aerospace engineering, modern capability, hugely with reliable but that level of complexity presents all of challenges. it is interesting because it will be old aircraft alongside new ones are. how big of a deal is it for you to be involved in this centenary event for the raf?m has been such a privilege to be

involved and the planning and organisation of such a huge air display over the country, about to sell break the 100th birthday of the raf. the timing of takeoff is so key, what will be going on here during the day? they take off 20 seconds apart. it is something that we have never seen seconds apart. it is something that we have never seen before, so really looking forward to that. you have got a special day this weekend. looking forward to that. you have got a special day this weekendlj got a special day this weekend.” get married on saturday and i will be privileged to watch the display on tuesday morning. can't wait. what a fabulous weekend. best of luck and fingers crossed for a lovely blue sky. quite an event, rehearsal is taking place at crown in lincolnshire and the big event next week and please, please, the weather gods will be kind. more details later on. we will be chatting to other people who will be involved in this event later.

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. this weekend is gay pride london, and the biggest survey of lgbt people has revealed that more than 2,000 people in the uk have undergone conversion therapy to ‘cure' them of their sexuality. some christian ministers are involved in the practice, with the government saying it'll tackle the issue. another concern for organisers this weekend is the lgbt charity, stonewall withdrawing from the event over concerns about a lack of diversity and racism in the gay community. patients diagnosing their illnesses on the internet and a heightened awareness about cancer are just some of the radical changes which a surgeon from east finchley, who qualified in the same month the nhs was born — has noticed about the health service. 92 year—old dr harold ellis says the pressures that would be put on the health service —

as a result of its own success — hadn't been thought of. the original idea was, as we get the country fit, it will cost less money, people will not fall ill. not realising that making the country fit will make all of these old aged pensioners requiring hip replacements and the cost was going to rise and rise. a hidden landscape by london artist lucian freud has been discovered under a pub sign painted over by one of his friends. it was found in a cellar three years ago with the name ‘lucian' written on the back. the painting is expected to fetch £30,000 at auction next week in sta nsted. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there are signal failures causing severe delays on the central line and tfl rail, and there are minor delays on the circle and district line too. overg round has minor delays due to a faulty train. on the roads in edmonton,

it's very slow eastbound because of emergency repairs. let's have a check on the weather now with rich. good morning. it is set to be another lovely, sunny day today. plenty of blue skies and sunshine expected through this morning, over lunchtime and this afternoon as well. uv levels pretty high and the pollen count will be pretty high as well. temperatures today peaking at 37 celsius. it won't be feeling quite as hot. as we make our way into this evening, we will see some clear spells to begin with and eventually there is a chance we will see cloud bubble up as we reach the early hours of tomorrow morning. temperatures overnight falling to 12 celsius, it will be just a little bit cooler, not as muggy and humid as it was last night. a bit more of a comfy nights sleep. tomorrow, a fresh start.

a small risk we could see the odd shower, but on the whole it is looking dry with sunny spells, temperatures at 25 celsius. heading through the rest of the week, you can see they are steadily rising, but the weekend is looking hot indeed with more sunshine expected through most of this week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and charlie stayt. our headlines today. found alive, but authorities say 12 thai schoolboys and their coach could be trapped in a cave for months. how many of you? 13? brilliant! feeling nervous yet? gareth southgate wants his england side to write their own history as they face colombia in the last 16 of the world cup. the flags are up, the fingers are

a daunting logistical challenge to bring them out of the cave system safely and are taking them four months' worth of food. andrew plant reports. how many of you? 13? brilliant! this is the moment the 12 missing boys realised that they would survive, hearing the voices of british experts sent to help with the search. monday, monday, one week and one day, you have been here... ten days. ten days. you are very strong. very strong! outside on the hillside in northern thailand, hundreds of people have been fighting against the floodwater that trapped the football team on the 23rd ofjune, never knowing if the boys were alive or dead inside, their parents forced to wait in hope outside. translation: it's unimaginable.

i've been waiting for ten days. i never imagined this day would come. but their ordeal is not yet over. divers who reached the boys must now work out how to bring them back. translation: what we will send down there is food, but we're not sure if they can eat, since it's been ten days. we still need to get them out. food and medical supplies have been carried through. now rescuers may have to help the boys scuba—dive to safety, but that's treacherous, underwater, underground and in zero visibility. we are coming, it's ok. the choice now — do they try to train the boys or wait perhaps for weeks for the floodwaters to recede? andrew plant, bbc news. our correspondent howard johnson is in thailand this morning. such amazing news for the families,

but you get a sense from the scene of what they are trying to deal with there. what are their main priorities today? yeah, we are adjusting behind us a group of first aid responses are appealing for small, full face diving masks for the children. that was covered by the children. that was covered by the thai media, presumably it will be handled by them, but in the cave network we are also seeing the thai army looking at ways of getting down to the boys, giving them, as we say, four months worth of food supplies to cover all eventualities. the rainy season hasn't stopped, it hasn't let up, there is mud everywhere, it rains everyday. what we are looking at is a big weather pattern coming towards us tomorrow that they are worried about, that the rains will begin again tomorrow, and the fear is that the water levels within the table starts to

rise, but at the same time, down the hill, they are pumping water at the rate of 10,000 litres and our, and they are saying within an hour it will drop by one centimetre per hour of pumping. it isjust a monumental task, and we can see so many people arriving there. have you spoken to them? what families are saying about this extraordinary moment when they knew that their sons were ok for the moment? when we arrived there this morning, we hitched a lift with the army, and they were absolutely ecstatic with what happened last night. everybody i spoke to was smiling, i spoke to a lady who has been serving food to people here all week, and she said she's really proud to be part of this movement, the whole country came together to get these boys to the position they are at the moment. of course, there is still a massive task to get them through. the families are currently ina through. the families are currently in a shelterjust over in this direction, one of their grandparents came out, one of the grandparents of

the children came to say that she was so the children came to say that she was so thankful that the authorities here never gave up on was so thankful that the authorities here never gave up on their children. you almost sense the anticipation of everybody, thank you very much indeed. we talked about the logistical task of getting them out, because they are ten kilometres deepin out, because they are ten kilometres deep in this very complicated cave system. we know that it was british divers who managed to find them, and we will be speaking to the vice—chairman of the british cave rescue council here in the next few minutes on breakfast. we talked to him earlier, he really gave a sense of the difficulties of trying to get them out. six minutes past eight, back to the other big story today, of course, looking heads to 7pm tonight. england in the world cup. just to give you a sense of how the papers are looking at this one, many of them are quoting the words of gareth southgate, the team manager, these are his words, is inspiring words, write your own history, boys.

on the front page of the sun and many of the back pages as well, southgate ordered his men to put on a carnivalfor the nation tonight. there will be lots of coverage throughout the day, butjust there will be lots of coverage throughout the day, but just to there will be lots of coverage throughout the day, butjust to take you back a bit, the last time england played colombia was 20 years ago. let's have a look at this glorious moment. david beckham scored from a free kick, england won the game 2—0. cannot really be that long ago?! it is amazing how time flies in football! so what does england support lookalike in the uk, of course they are playing in russia, graham satchell can give us a sense of that, good morning to you, graham. good morning, sally, we are on the kirby estate, it is festooned with flags, even though england have done terribly in knockout competitions,

the conversion therapy is like torture, you know, it's like a punishment. 40% of those who answered the survey said they had been victim of a hate crime. most never reported it. it's very hard to express the feelings. i mean, because we are also humans, so why people treat us like badly? more police training has been promised, but that's not all. on the back of the survey findings, the government has drawn up a list of more than 70 things it wants to do to improve the lives of the lgbtq community across the uk. there's still much more that we need to do to enable people to thrive, to access health—care services and to ensure that they can go about their daily business without fear or feeling intimidated. on the list — making sex education in schools more inclusive, appointing a national lgbtq adviser, and banning attempts to turn gay people straight. any sort of treatment that suggests that being lgbtq is a disorder, that lgbt people need curing, is important to get rid of. the survey findings suggest

that the lgbtq community are still less satisfied with their lives than the rest of the uk population. nick rotherham, bbc news. police on bute are trying to piece together the final moments of a six—year—old girl whose body was found in woodland yesterday morning. residents joined the search for alesha mcphail, who was reported missing ataround 6:30am. the cause of her death remains unknown. our scotland correspondent james shaw is on the island. alesha mcphail was reported missing in rothessay on the island of bute early yesterday morning. a few hours later, the six—year—old's body was discovered by a member of the public in woodland where police have since been carrying out detailed investigations. her death has caused immense shock and sadness in this small island town. detectives will want to understand exactly what happened to her as quickly as possible.

there have been heartfelt messages of sympathy and support on social media. flowers and cards have been left close to where alesha is thought to have been staying. at the moment, police are describing her death as unexplained. they've sought to calm people's fears about how she died, but they do need the public‘s help to make progress with their inquiries. there is a number of people through social media who were alerted to this missing child and came to assist in the area, and i would really like those that have not spoken to the police to come forward in the fact that we can establish who was there and maybe have critical information of what has taken place. the investigation into the death of alesha mcphail is onlyjust beginning. james shaw, bbc news, on the island of bute. you're watching bbc breakfast. we

will have all the weather coming up shortly, details, expecting more hot weather for another fortnight possibly. not long to go now before what gareth southgate's called england's biggest game in a decade. so can the team pull it out of the bag? captain harry kane is certainly sounding optimistic. obviously you're nervous, you're excited because there's a chance, a good chance that you're going to score. there's obviously a bit of pressure on it. but that's what i like to have the routine. so every penalty i take, whether it's in training or in a game, i'm going through the same steps, same motions, same breathing. yeah, i just feel that's the best way for me to have the best outcome. iam i am delighted to say that robbie savage and is plunging neckline have joined us this morning! good to be different! why not?! gareth southgate wears a wasted, which is

becoming a bit of an emblem. very smart! -- waistcoat. what are you thinking? it is one of the best world cup that i have witnessed, 1982 was fantastic, but this one surpasses everything, the excitement, the drama, the goals, late goals, entertaining football, only one 0—0. and england playing against colombia, it will be a tough game, but my sons were born in england, they have got the england shirts on... obviously, i am welsh, my wife is scottish, so do i want england to win? yes, i do, it has been great for england to get this far, i think gareth southgate is under a bit of pressure tonight. do you? why? they played a weakened side against belgium, everybody said japan might be an easier game, but it proved last night that it wasn't, 2-0 it proved last night that it wasn't, 2—0 up against belgium, roberto

martinez got his tactics right with their substitutions, and now they face colombia. it is his first real test as a manager. not great as a clu b test as a manager. not great as a club manager, the qualifying campaign, you would expect them to win that. so scored a last—minute winner against tunisia, beat panama, lost to belgium. today is a massive test as manager. as you know, a lot of people watch football at world cup time, you don't normally watch it, so we don't know colombia very well, give us the mugs guide, what is the big threat? james rodriguez, will he start? not sure, he has had an injury, but fantastic player, moved to bayern munich last season. they have got falcao, who was on loa n to they have got falcao, who was on loan to manchester united, very good player. real match winners? they have got cuadrado, who was at chelsea, some very exciting players in forward areas, but i think defensively england might have too much for them. i did well there,

didn't i?! i wasn't trying to put you off your stride at all! tell us a bit more about southgate, he is telling them, you know, you can write history, tell us about his mannerism, the way he has approached coaching them. i think he has done exceptionally well, you listen to him speak, his authority. what i wa nt to him speak, his authority. what i want to know, as he got a ruthless side? you can see how he has embraced the media tomer hemed has done well there, and he has not put a foot wrong really. he comes across in the media as very positive, likeable guy, i have done the fa cup draw with him on the one show, very intelligent, speaks well. but tonight is a big test. that game, belgium last night, the test for them was a test of character, when you are two behind, then what do you do? that is the thing that england have not been tested on. we saw that

with england's golden generation, they failed in tournaments, with great individuals, they went 2—0 down, and the manager has made a couple of changes, brought on nacer chadli and marouane fellaini, and they both scored. the spirit they showed was fantastic.” they both scored. the spirit they showed was fantastic. i would love to be watching in your house with the son supporting england, you from wales, why from scotland, it is going to be... i really hope england win, even being welsh, because i think it has been great. excellent, thank you very much, see you soon. sweden versus switzerland is on bbc one this afternoon, and you can follow the england colombia game tonight with commentary on radio 5 live. it's day two at wimbledon, and carol's down there with the weather for us this morning. imight i might even know it is very hot, they speed to cut the grass.

they certainly do. we are looking at court number ten, it is being watched, the lines kept perfectly straight, the lawn of the court is being mowed by an electric lawn mower, and the lines are being painted on as well. 53,000 tennis balls are used during the championship period, and there will be 607 to five matches scheduled during wimbledon fortnight. the temperature at the moment is 19 degrees. —— 675 matches. the forecast is dry, lots of sunshine, temperatures up to about 28, not as warm as yesterday, and a noticeable breeze. but that is actually quite pleasant. pollen levels across the uk today are high or very high, and the uv levels are also high. if we ta ke the uv levels are also high. if we take a look around the country, a lot of dry weather and sunshine, especially so across the western and central parts of scotland, eastern scotla nd central parts of scotland, eastern scotland more cloud coming from the north sea overnight. clear skies for

northern ireland, for much of northern england as well, but again we have got some cloud coming from the north sea across north—east england, especially so in northumberland. moving south across wales into the midlands, also east anglia and southern counties of england, a lot of blue skies, some fair weather cloud, noticeably breezy, the cloud is big enough in the south—west to be producing some showers, and you could see one or two in the channel islands. showers will be hit and miss. so as we go through the course of the day, the cloud coming from the north sea will tend to burn back towards the coastline and then burn away, although we could see some pockets stick across north—east england. showers continue on and off across parts of south—west england, possibly the channel islands, temperatures getting up to about 27 or28, temperatures getting up to about 27 or 28, tempered by the breeze in the south. through the afternoon, more cloud developing in southern england, south wales, turning the sunshine hazy. through the evening, a lot of sunshine to look forward

to, but overnight even more cloud coming in from the north sea, drifting further west overnight. still some showers across the south—west, the channel islands, showers showers starting to show their hands across the south—east, temperatures falling to roughly 8—16 celsius. a wee bit more cloud tomorrow in the morning, but a lot of dry weather and sunshine, showers in the south—west of england, the english channel, some coming from the south—east, but we still expect wimbledon to stay dry. looking widely at the low to mid 20s, some of us seeing the high 20s. we're not expecting to see 30 tomorrow, we not expecting to see 30 tomorrow, we not expecting to see that until we had back into the weekend, but for the next few days the weather is pretty much what you are fired in the last week or so, apart from the temperatures. —— what you have had. thank you very much, carol, we will see thank you very much, carol, we will see you for the last weather hit in half an hour. 12 teenagers and their football coach have been found alive,

nine days after going missing in a cave in thailand. they entered the cave network in the chiang rai region last month while on a day trip. to find them, after the caves became flooded since then there has been an extensive round—the—clock search to find them, after the caves became flooded following heavy rainfall. rescuers hoped they would find safety on a ledge in an underground chamber nicknamed pattaya beach. but they were discovered 400 metres away, after being forced to move to higher ground to avoid the rising water. we can get more from our guest on the challenges of rescuing them, from the british cave rescue council, thank you so much for coming back to talk to us, so brilliant that they have been found, but the operation to get them out is a really daunting task. it is a real

brainteaser, the best way to set about it. we understand they are ten kilometres inside the system of caves. yes, the whole system is about ten kilometres long, they are probably about three kilometres into the cave, and it is not all flooded, of course. the flooded section, or the section which has flooded part in it, is about 1.5 kilometres long. and about half of it is actually underwater, and half of it is bits of passage above water, so it is diving through different things, and there are constricted bits, places where they will have to dig through blockages while they are working forward. so that is quite a lot of obstacles forward. so that is quite a lot of o bsta cles to forward. so that is quite a lot of obstacles to have to bring anybody back through. it is possible the water might go down a little bit more before it started raining again, but even so fetching people back through those circumstances, these boys are not diverse, they won't know anything about that.

there is talk of keeping them supplied in there and teaching them to dive and come out. well, that is one option. another option is that they could be packaged, if you like, put diving gear on them, weight them, let other divers bring them out. but i don't know the conditions in detail, so whether that is realistically possible. with the possibility of rain, they have to think about resupplying at in case they cannot get back in again. we we re they cannot get back in again. we were watching the extraordinary images, the moment the light was shone. the three divers, british divers, part of that rescue operation, people remember hearing the voices, they were calling out saying, how many of you here? so i understand you have had some contact with them, these are people you know, what have they told you about the difficulty of getting there?

well, what they have fed back the information about the dive itself, thatis information about the dive itself, that is where they told us that it was about 1500 metres, about half of its submerged, half of it wasn't, and what the difficulties. one of the big difficulties is that they are swimming upstream, having to pull themselves along the walls to make progress. visibility won't have been good — better than it has been, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible at all, but still not good. and having to dig through blockages and things on the way before they could get through. these are highly experienced divers, can you give a sense of how long it would take someone sense of how long it would take someone like that to get from the outside of the cave to where the boys now are? the only information i have got from them is to say that they reckon a round trip, diving in and coming back out, is about three hours or so. so that is how long it would take to get from the beginning of the flooded section of the cave

to them and back out. and we have heard a little, and over the next few days there will be updates all the time, but we understand from our correspondents that they were calling out for small fall facemasks. that makes sense. if they are talking about diving them out, they would want full facemasks, because without the experience, using diving equipment in your mouth, with the full facemasks, they can fit over the whole face and you can fit over the whole face and you can breathe normally in there, and they have a positive pressure, so water cannot get in because the air pressure forces water out. so that would be for bringing casualties or people in this instance back through. i suppose it is worth saying, as we talk about some of the logistics, what an extraordinary moment for their families, and we have had it described by our correspondent, they have been kept ina room correspondent, they have been kept in a room for nine days, they have been hopeful, and what a moment for

them. what an incredible exercise has been going on over there, not just the diving, which, bear in mind, the divers going out, that was just part of the whole exercise, the pumping, the digging, looking for new entrances. it is just that the diving is the one that came up trumps in this instance. and just explain, if you would, they would have gone into the cave, then it flooded, and they got to where they we re flooded, and they got to where they were because they were escaping? yes, they were having to retreat in front of the flood, i imagine, finding somewhere on higher ground where they could sit it out. and they have managed to survive. yes, there is plenty of water, no food, of course, but you can last a lot longer with no food than no water. one of the good things is that the air temperature and water temperature in thailand are a lot warmer than in this country. if what had happened to them had happened in this country, hypothermia would have probably seen them off by now, to be

honest. thank you for your expertise. iimagine we expertise. i imagine we will speak to you again. you are watching breakfast, we will bejoined again. you are watching breakfast, we will be joined by sheridan smith a little later on, now let's take a look at the glorious view at wimbledon this morning, and why we have a look at that, we will hand you over to the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, there. very little change the weather story, not just today but over the next few days. that means most of you will stay completely dry through the rest of this week. pretty warm, if not hot, when the sun is out. things will cool off a little bit across parts of scotland and northern ireland on thursday and friday. at the moment, though, high pressure is in charge. still, this area of low pressure through the bay of biscay. that is pushing up a bit more cloud toward southern counties of england, threatening just one or two showers. i know many a garden will welcome it, but very, very few forecast.

low cloud at the start of the day, south—east scotland, north—east england, burns back to the coast for the afternoon. still a bit cloudy at times in shetland. but for most it is blue skies for the second half of the day. where you've got the clearest of the skies, right the way through to parts of central, western england, wales, the west of scotland, temperatures once again in the mid—to—high 20s. maybe down a little bit in the south, compared with what we saw yesterday. always a bit more of a breeze across southern areas, compared to the north. for those heading to wimbledon, the best of the sunshine this morning, it turns a bit hazy in the afternoon, but still some strong sunshine overhead, nonetheless. it stays fine, dry and increasingly hot as we go towards the end of the week. into tomorrow morning, after another fresh enough start, the nights turning a bit cooler. a lot more cloud to begin with across scotland, northern england and southern parts of england and wales. most of that will break up, there will still be a bit more cloud around that we have seen through recent days. temperatures at best

stretching from the south—east through to north—west wales, where temperatures again could be 26 or 28 degrees. later this week we see a weak cold front push across scotland and northern ireland, particularly on thursday. that will bring a drop in temperature. further south, temperatures actually set to rise further. by the weekend, across the south—east, we will be seeing highs of 30—32 degrees. the heatwave continues. iran's leader is in europe trying to salvage the remnants of the nuclear deal — but can the eu make it work without the us?
