6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. our headlines today: crunch talks on brexit. theresa may and her cabinet will meet to finally agree a blueprint of the uk's future relationship with the eu. a local diver dies trying to rescue 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a flooded cave in thailand. police say a couple fighting for their lives after being poisoned by novichok, had handled a contaminated object. as we head into a big weekend of sport, there's joy for kyle edmund, but despair forjo konta here at wimbledon. and gareth southgate says england may never have a better chance to win the world cup, as they prepare for tomorrow's quarter final against sweden. england facing the yellow peril, carol is dressed appropriately. once again it will be hot and sunny for many of us. the risk of potential downpours —— downpours for
6:01 am
some in the east. more later. and it's the prospect of more hot weather that has got water companies thinking of more hosepipe bans. i'll have more on where and when they might be, a little later. it's friday the 6th ofjuly. our top story: cabinet ministers will gather at the prime minister's country retreat, chequers, this morning, for what are expected to be showdown talks about the brexit deal the uk will present to the european union. ministers will have to surrender their phones when they arrive at the talks, which are due to last 12 hours. it's understood the main proposal is for the uk to remain closely aligned to the eu when trading goods, but not services. the conversations will be closely guarded. last night, brexit—supporting ministers held their own meeting at the foreign office. our political correspondent alex forsyth is at westminster this morning. good to see you, we will get a lot of analysis about what we should finally expect because it seems that we could have said crunch, more
6:02 am
meetings, they are going to decide something but actually now they are. you would hope so. this really is a big day for the prime minister because today is the point that the months of discussion and debate, the arguments that have been had in cabinet and played out in public, they all come to a head. she has summoned her senior ministers to chequers, where they will be set for hours and hours to thrash out the details and come to some sort of agreement about what future trade negotiations with the eu should look like. the problem is this: there are deep divisions on this front and the promise that has come up with a suggestion which would see the uk stay closely aligned on goods but not services. that would mean ending free movement of people into the uk. already some ministers have suggested that would leave the uk far too closely tied to the eu, they will push back on that hard. on the
6:03 am
other hand, other ministers say it has close ties are essential for business. it shows you just how tricky this will be for the prime minister and that is before she even sta rts minister and that is before she even starts negotiating in brussels. looking at the other stories this morning: in thailand, a former thai navy diver has died while delivering supplies to the 12 boys and their coach trapped in a cave. the diver, who had left the navy but came to help the rescue, lost consciousness on his way back from the cave and could not be revived by his colleague. there's still no decision on how to rescue the group which has been trapped for almost two weeks. the children were found on a rocky ledge around 2.5 miles from the mouth of the cave on monday. more than 128 million litres of water has been pumped out of the cave — allowing rescue teams to walk further into the tunnel — however, some parts are still too narrow to access. more heavy rain is forecast. the boys are being taught the basics of diving — some need to be taught how to swim, but there are concerns that it could be too risky. howard johnson is there for us this morning.
6:04 am
sad news coming from thailand today, the death of that diver. is this changing how they are doing the rescue effort now? yes, this is a blow to the operation here. the 38—year—old, who was a petty officer first—class from the navy seals here, will have affected the morale little bit but it is not stopping the operations today. we can see behind me at the moment, thai army officers stood next to lots of tanks officers stood next to lots of tanks ofair officers stood next to lots of tanks of air that they are trying to take through this cave, the levels of oxygen are falling inside the area where the boys are sheltered. that is the priority of the mission here today. what happened last night really illustrates the risks of diving through this flooded cave
6:05 am
network. that is why, as you say, they at teaching the children these techniques to dive through this labyrinth like network of caves and chambers that have been flooded but given what happened last night they will not be rushing this operation any time soon. counter terror police have confirmed that the couple, fighting for their lives after being poisoned by novichok, handled a contaminated item. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess have been poisoned by the same nerve agent used on the former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia in march. mr rowley‘s brother matthew has told the bbc of his shock at what's happened. my my next—door neighbour came out and told me, because he knew my surname, he said your brother is in hospital, he said your brother is in hospital, he has been infected with this neurotoxin and i said well, that is the first thing i have heard. then i
6:06 am
read it in the paper this morning. i haven't slept, to tell you the truth. powell would you 7 haven't slept, to tell you the truth. powell would you? like i said, ican't truth. powell would you? like i said, i can't get through to the hospital at the moment because of the police and they have a security block on everything. so i don't know what to think. it is... he is my younger brother, i love him to bits. japanese media is reporting that seven members of a doomsday cult, who carried out a deadly nerve gas attack on the tokyo subway in 1995, have been executed. 13 people died and thousands more were hurt when the cult released the nerve agent, sarin, on the underground system during the morning rush hour. the us secretary of state mike pompeo is in pyongyang for talks with the north korean leader, kim jong—un. mr pompeo is under pressure to get more details on how and when the regime might give up its nuclear weapons. let's get more from our
6:07 am
correspondent mariko oi, who's in the south korean capital, seoul. could see you. is happening now? —— good to see you. what is happening 110w. good to see you. what is happening now. we believe that mike pompeo has arrived in pyongyang, scheduled to arrived in pyongyang, scheduled to arrive around two hours ago but even though he is accompanied by some foreign journalists we have not been getting that many a rates but we believe he has landed and there is a lot of pressure on the us secretary of state because since that singapore summit where kim jong—un said he is committed to the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula, we had us intelligence agencies saying that they had evidence that the country is continuing to work on its nuclear programme. so mike pompeo is hoping to get more than just words and more
6:08 am
detailed plans of how to do that denuclearisation, but the us has also softened the language, remember after the singapore summit where president trump and kim jong—un met, where the us was initially asking for a complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation and for you and i and many of our viewers, the difference is very. you they are now saying —— saying that they are now saying —— saying that the aim is a fully verifiable denuclearisation. learning something new everyday with this political fine language. thanks very much. a 16—year—old boy will appear in court today in connection with the death of six—year—old alesha mcphail. alesha's body was found in woodland, hours after she went missing from her grandmother's house, on the isle of bute on monday. the nhs in england is promising to put an extra £22 million into helping people with learning disabilities to leave care and receive increased support in the community. a recent review into the deaths of people with learning disabilities, found they can die up to 29 years earlier than other people.
6:09 am
speaking to our disability correspondent nikki fox, nhs england's learning disabilities director, ray james, described how they want overhaul patient treatment. there is always more that we can and should be doing, crucially as part of that we need to be listening to families. but we have reduced the number of inpatients by 18%, we are investing the money, we are making sure that we are doing i way of staff training, i want less people to be spending time in hospital. i wa nt to be spending time in hospital. i want everybody up and down the country to be listening to and working with people with a learning disability in their family, hearing their experiences and using their experiences to change the way in which they provide services for the future. are you someone who reads the terms
6:10 am
and conditions when getting a new app? i'm, but i get bored. -- i am. 15 of the most popular websites and apps have terms and conditions that require a university—level of education to understand, according to analysis from the bbc. that's despite the fact that most can be used by children as young as 13 — asjoe miller has been finding out. i really like the rainbow one! 5pm ona i really like the rainbow one! 5pm on a school day and maxwell and nola are relaxing at a friend ‘s home with the help of you tube and instagram. all three children are 13 and legally allowed to join the sites, but unsurprisingly, none have actually read the terms of. everything is so long and such big text, it is on a sneaky of them to
6:11 am
like, put it like that so that kids would look at it and just skip past it, i guess. the bbc has analysed the privacy policies of 15 popular websites and apps, including facebook and youtube and found that most of them take at least half an hour to read and all of them require a university level education to be properly understood. facebook, google and others say they are co nsta ntly google and others say they are constantly improving their terms and making them clearer and that easy to read summaries are available. but one mp says the key legal documents are simply too complicated. you to give informed consent for your data to be used, it is not enough to read a load of gobbledygook that you know anyone is not going to read an essay we have got the rights here. max and their friends say they won't wait through any lengthy policies, no matter how well they are written at the adult who draft them are on their side. if you have any thoughts on that,
6:12 am
get in touch with us is the bit we don't have any terms and conditions to sign up to. it's occasionally said that politicans are full of hot air. but protestors wishing to express their opposition to president trump have taken that to another level. a giant balloon showing the amercian leader as an angry baby — complete with a nappy — will be flown above parliament square when mr trump visits the uk next week. london mayor, sadiq khan, who gave permission for the six—metre blimp to be flown, said he supports the right to peaceful protest. i was thinking about it, i wonder what he will think if he sees it?|j wonder if he willjust laugh, it is what you would have to do. wonder if he willjust laugh, it is what you would have to dolj wonder if he willjust laugh, it is what you would have to do. i wonder
6:13 am
what you would have to do. i wonder what mike would think if we did a huge blimp of him. what a compliment for us to have a blimp of you flying over wimbledon. have a look later on and see that happen. i think you have made it if a baby balloon is flying over london. if you can organise that you will make a career. good morning. appear on andy murray mount, they want to call it after kyle edmund, maybe kyle mount? i it after kyle edmund, maybe kyle mount? lam it after kyle edmund, maybe kyle mount? i am on a park bench here with the papers as well. apologies if they are wet, there was a lot of condensation. what the day of drama it was, mixed emotions for the british. johanna konta went out, beaten in straight sets of. she was
6:14 am
making a lot of mistakes but she says she will be back. she wasn't the only big name to fall because the only big name to fall because the defending champion was out as well, beaten by a belgian competitor. that is now six of the top eight women seems to have drawn in this wimbledon of shocks. better news for kyle edmund, the last fish standing, being cheered on by his itiuiti standing, being cheered on by his mum on centre court. —— bricked. —— brit. he will face novak djokovic tomorrow afternoon and he is oily worried about whether the english match will be finished in time for him to come on and play and whether he will be able to watch it because his coach isa able to watch it because his coach is a swedish. we have the england and sweating quarter—final tomorrow afternoon at three and then hopefully, kyle edmund be able to watch that with his coach and take
6:15 am
on novak djokovic. a lot of barbecues, a lot of tvs outside, no danger of getting electric shocks from the rain but the big problem is how to keep cool? even at wimbledon the temperature is 18 celsius, quite warm and monkey this morning across many areas of. as we go into the weekend, it is going to get that bit warm us by saturday and sunday some parts of the south—east of the looking at 32 celsius, looking at the mid—to high 20s. the forecast today to wimbledon is a dry one. highs of around 30 celsius, just a gentle breeze, no more than that, and once again, pollen levels are high as indeed are uv levels in the sunshine. the most of the uk, it's going to be dry and hot, fresh yesterday across scotland and northern ireland. again, you will notice the difference. if you look at the forecast at nine o'clock, there is some cloud in the west,
6:16 am
particularly the north—west. across eastern counties. but sunshine. south across eastern counties of england, this low cloud which is coming from the north sea and will quickly push back to the north sea coastline through the day and burn away but there is a lot of dry and sunny weather through most of england and also wales. as we come down to the south, as i mentioned, already quite a pleasant start of the day, lots of beasties around. it is quite damp. temperatures in southern areas, around about 15 and 18 celsius. through the morning, losing all this cloud. a lot of sunshine around. having said that, we are at the risk of an odd shower which could be heavy and hungary, more likely around kent, sussex and sx. yesterday, we have flash floods
6:17 am
in tunbridge wells. we could see some potential downpours today as well but not all of us will catch one. overnight once again tonight, we lose the showers are developed, largely dry. there is a cloud coming and going. we don't expect a low cloud to come in as much from the north sea. it's not going to be a cold night really anyway. quite mighty once again in the south—east. or saturday, a lot of dry weather around. again, temperatures rising and cloud developing as we go through the course of the day but by tomorrow, we could well be looking at temperatures up to 30, 31 even 32 around the london area but widely, the heat is building so wherever you are, temperatures are going up. on sunday itself, the weak weather front straddling the far north of scotland. a bit more cloud and also just the odd spot of rain. if you're
6:18 am
wondering how long this is going to last, at the moment, it looks like it's going to last into next week. we don't expect the temperatures to be as high will stop its next weekend when we see a change and into the following week but that is a long way off. that could change. it could change but what we are concerned about, mike called you the yellow peril. how did you feel? i know. he might be walking with a limp ina know. he might be walking with a limp in a minute. i can hear you! it leaves very nicely into the papers. because meghan markle has gone or yellow. first she goes lady gaga. and in the sun says, we hope you are
6:19 am
not supporting sweden. and what does it tell us about sean's socks, which i yellow this morning? i've got a little yellow. it doesn't mean anything, does it? no, it doesn't. the other things that were on the front pages, there is brexit. checkers and prime minister and cabinet. going to drill down and finally get a deal. seven cabinet ministers, the times is reporting, are opposing the pm's plans. the mirror this morning, it's got an exclusive story there about £10,000 pay—out over the attack which
6:20 am
happened to him in prison. and the daily mail is taking a look at philip hammond there is accused of betraying struggling high—street retailers after he refused to launch an urgent overhaul of business rates. this is something we hear a lot from from businesses. we talked about it a lot this week, the newspapers have picked up on it, they have gone quite big on the trouble on the high street. another pa rt of trouble on the high street. another part of the story, these are the consequences of part of the story, these are the consequences of the fact we are buying so much online. traffic is set to rise by 30% by 2040 and its web deliveries, people making all those deliveries. the last couple of months, the deliveries you are getting, it's about pulling up on the pavement, it's almost relentless. that is going to be a big extra weight on our roads. and i
6:21 am
noticed i happen to be in when the delivery man is making deliveries. just like the porch. what's wrong with the porch? there is nothing wrong with a, i'm not saying there is but not that rich. any other front pages? there are. we were talking about yellow and now, apparently, the italians are kicking off about our use of the st george's flag because they say it belongs to them. they are saying that george is actually the patron saint of many states including italy and they are saying, we should not be using it. what would they rather england did? i don't know. there might be a bit of bitterness there. they didn't even make it. blair england might

at wimbledon, not so muchjohanna konta. good morning mike. remember, you are not so great when it comes to avoiding water, keep a good six feet away from the edge of that. don't worry, it he has given me warnings and there are no swimmers to interview. this is one of my favourite places at this time of day. it is stripping on me now, the beautiful flowers spilling gorgeous, say hello to the dish. there is calm, peace and tranquillity to reflect on what was a real dramatic day on the defending champion, going out. 0h day on the defending champion, going out. oh no! fishjustjumped out! also a mixed day of emotion for the british. kyle edmund is true but the
6:34 am
emotion is on the women's draw. jo konta was a semi finallist last year but was comprehensively beaten in straight sets by serbia's dominica cibulkova. konta's struggled for form in the last year, but insists she's not going backwards. iam taking i am taking care of things on my end andi i am taking care of things on my end and i am trusting in that process that will bring the opportunities to perform and perform well. however, nothing is guaranteed and that is what is beautiful about sport. the only other brit left in the women's draw was katie boulter. she lost to the 18th seed — japan's naomi osaka. it's been a decent tournament though for boulter, who's first appearance in the second round here is likely to push her closer to a top 100 ranking. talking of rankings, johanna konta's defeat means she falls out of the top 40 in the women's rankings of. —— women's rankings. it was a much better day on centre
6:35 am
court for kyle edmund. the british number one comfortably beat american qualifier bradley klahn — but things are about to get much tougher. his first ever third round tie will be against three—time champion novak djokovic tomorrow, and there'll be the added distraction of england's quarter final at the world cup. iam i am looking forward to it, never have been to a third round of wimbledon, looking forward to it. novak is one of the greatest players in the world and will go down as one of the best of all time, for me it isa of the best of all time, for me it is a great experience to come out here and play against him. so it will be interesting with the football, but i am very much looking forward to it. let's round up the rest of the day's action away from the brits. and rafael nadal is though to the third round. he didn't have it all his own way against kazakhstan's mikhail kukuzshkin, but eventually won in straight sets. he could be given a hefty fine too after being given two time
6:36 am
violations — one for warming—up for too long, and another for taking too long to change his clothes in between sets. a lot of time with his top off, that could mean a penalty. the defending women's champion is out. spain's garbine murguruza lost in three sets to belgium's alison van uytvanck. it's the latest surprise in the women's draw — six of the top eight seeds already out. what today we are looking forward to tomorrow then. you have got that third—round tomorrow then. you have got that third— round match tomorrow then. you have got that third—round match for kyle edmund against the djokovic, remember his coachis against the djokovic, remember his coach is swedish and before that it is england's quarter—final against sweden. gareth southgate says they may never have a better chance to become world champions. england will travel around 1,000 miles from their base in repino south east to samara today,
6:37 am
that first ever world cup penalty shoot out win fresh in their minds. it'll be their first quarter final since 2006, and southgate says his side needs to make the most of the opportunity. we have a huge hurdle if we want to get to a semi—final, equally, it is a great opportunity for us. and although our team will be individually better in two years and with more life experience is, maybe the cards on injuries and things have will not fall as kindly as they have will not fall as kindly as they have this time and we may not have this opportunity again the. so we have got to make the most of the opportunity in terms of being as prepared as we can be. one man who played in england's last quarter final is rio ferdinand, and he's confident that this current side can go much further than the one he played in. i think we are going to go to the final. iam
6:38 am
i think we are going to go to the final. i am a believer. i think we are going to go to the final. iam a believer. i i think we are going to go to the final. i am a believer. i am a believer. they have made me believe. the first time in years that i have a lead that this england team can do it. when your goalscorer is bang on form in goals, it it gives you a good chance of. there is a good does around the squad, normally there is around the squad, normally there is a depressive cloud that surrounds the squad for some reason over the yea rs called by. the squad for some reason over the years called by. but for the squad everybody seems happy to be there, happy to be enjoying it. thank goodness it is back for all of us thank goodness it is back for all of us football fans of. a potential rival to harry kane's charge for the golden boot up first. lam i am talking about france, i tipped them at the beginning. france's kylian mbappe has three goals for the tournament after his brilliant performance in the last 16 win over argentina. he is definitely a threat for the golden boot. his side take uruguay this afternoon, but the south americans
6:39 am
have one of the meanest defences at this world cup. that match is first up in nizhny novgorod. both france and uruguay won their respective groups on their way to the quarter finals. as did brazil and belgium who meet later in kazan. that match is live on bbc one. so much in the papers about how people will watch, i mentioned a dilemma about kyle edmund. if you are his coach, you say don't watch the football because you might get too stressed or you let him watch it and then played that third—round match against novak djokovic quiz that lewis hamilton is another one with a that lewis hamilton is another one witha dilemma, that lewis hamilton is another one with a dilemma, in the papers this morning saying that he risks upsetting f1 bosses because they have caught buying and he is hoping thatis have caught buying and he is hoping that is done so he can go off, rather than doing press conferences, him go off and watch the match. he is maybe risking a fine or something so is maybe risking a fine or something so he can watch the england match. will have the latest from carol about the weather in a few moments.
6:40 am
but the fish, here we are, they are so but the fish, here we are, they are so tame, i would put my finger to close but they jumped so tame, i would put my finger to close but theyjumped out a moment ago which made me jump. —— too. i would put my finger any closer otherwise i might disappear into the water. go on! , on! -- go on. no, they are scary! interesting that people are agonising about how to watch it, where to watch it, i am already making my plans of. i noticed that nobody in the office has invited me to watch. quite a bit in the paper today of our people watching the england match while they were out the theatre and it caused a bit of trouble with the actors, as you can imagine. caused a bit of trouble with the actors, as you can imaginelj caused a bit of trouble with the actors, as you can imagine. i have people who said that they have theatre tickets for this weekend,
6:41 am
does anybody want them? it is 90 minutes to seven. —— 19. if you ever find the terms and conditions for websites and apps confusing — i think everyone has — then you won't be surprised to hear that bbc analysis of the ts&cs of 15 popular sites has found that some are almost as long as a shakespeare play, and all required a university level of education to be understood. i feel like i delivered ifeel like i delivered that i feel like i delivered that in a thespian way as well. that's despite the fact that many platforms are used by children as young as 13. let's find out why this is with tech expert naomi timperley. good morning. so stefanie asked me earlier if i read the terms and conditions and thought i would be that kind of person. you know why i do it? because i refuse to be beaten by these technology companies who have these ridiculously long terms and conditions, i think they put
6:42 am
them there because they know i won't read them and i agree out of frustration. i read a very interesting article that was to professors in two universities in america who did a test with over 500 student and they sat up a fake news social network called name drop, and a quarter of the students glanced at the terms and conditions but didn't spot that one of the terms was that actually if they would allow the name drop company to have their first worn child. it was an experience. —— experiment. iwould be completely honest, i don't always read them. i think that is because they are so long and there is a reason, why are they that long? they are so long and there is a reason, why are they that long7m isa reason, why are they that long7m is a trust thing as well. in a sense, you would imagine these technology companies are not put
6:43 am
something that is harmful to us, but actually they are allowed to put stuff in that allows them access that we perhaps wouldn't always agree to. if you think, i have been involved with digital marketing for quite awhile now, i work with a number different technology companies and i knew what facebook we re companies and i knew what facebook were doing, it was pretty obvious. if you work in that world it was obvious what they were doing. i think, if you think about when you set upa think, if you think about when you set up a new account to something, i think they need to have a process of having very, very clearly, maybe four statements before you even get to setting up the account to say that actually, we have got your data and we are going to do this. don't be offensive and rude, don't hack somebody‘s account and maybe one more. but making you read them in a very, very short form, even if it is, i think, very, very short form, even if it is, ithink, not very, very short form, even if it is, i think, not as long, but it would allow you, even for five main
6:44 am
state m e nts would allow you, even for five main statements to say that you have read some of the terms of. isn't there area some of the terms of. isn't there are a lot of legalities around this? the language is about what they need legally. yes, i am not a legal expert but i do think that they need, the fact that they are saying you need a university degree style education to be able to read these terms and conditions, one of the other thing that i came across was actually, there was a law firm that condensed instagram's terms and conditions and it took hours and hours and hours to do this, but they condensed it into five statements of. you have the language you need but things need to be in plain english and it is notjust technology companies, it is across the board, financial services and that kind of thing as well. thank you very much for coming in the. —— for coming in. if you could fill out
6:45 am
and sign our terms and conditions on the way out! it is quarter to seven. it's day five at wimbledon and ca rol‘s down there with the weather for us this morning. you go to show us the. —— show us around. don't put your finger in the pond! bye for now. around. don't put your finger in the pond! they looking at us, want some food. we are at the top of it until and you can see the beautiful hanging baskets which is where michael was earlier on, and it would offer some shade. as the water bridge which has the fish and straight over their you can see some high vizjackets. where the broadcast media broadcast of their nations. its lovely and warm here.
6:46 am
the forecast for wimbledon today is dry, it's just the forecast for wimbledon today is dry, it'sjust a gentle breeze. the forecast that the uk as a whole todayis forecast that the uk as a whole today is a dry and hot one. in the next couple of days, temperatures are going to continue to rise. this morning across eastern areas, a lot of clout. it is not the forecast, you can see how some of our clout is coming from the north sea into the of scotland. across the north—west, a weak weather front producing cloud as well and through the night, some patchy light rain and drizzle. away from those areas, it is sunny. for northern ireland, a cloudy start but through the day, you will notice the cloud will break. for northern england, we are looking at their that of sunshine to start except in
6:47 am
the east where we do have some cloud which is coming from the north sea. you'll see more cloud developed through the day. this is where we have had the cloud. away from that, through the midlands, into wales and southern counties, we are back into the sunshine and it is blue sky. flirting with the coastlines of devon and cornwall. through the day, the cloud coming into the north sea scoots back and we are looking at a warm day but there is the risk of torrential rain in sx, kent and sussex, showers which could be underwritten. they are hit and miss. through the evening and overnight, the showers will tend to fade. looking at a lot of dry weather,
6:48 am
less cloud coming in from north sea as we through the night. and still quite muddies become further south. with overnight lows of about 17 or 18. and again, a lot of sunshine for scotla nd 18. and again, a lot of sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, you too will have sunny spells. nonetheless, it should stay dry. debit your wise, they are climbing. looking widely at temperatures from the mid—to high 20s. locally in the south—east, 30 or 31. for sunday, we could even have 32 in the south—east. a lot of dry weather around. aweak south—east. a lot of dry weather around. a weak weather front may produce the odd shower at times. the flies are atrocious. they are biting us, we flies are atrocious. they are biting us, we are flies are atrocious. they are biting us, we are swallowing them. you are much safer in the studio. it's good protein, apparently. i'm
6:49 am
thinking of the calories. you don't need to worry about that, carol. 800 calories per flight. the need to worry about that, carol. 800 calories perflight. the strain is being felt by water companies. however you measure it, demand is high but are we willing to ease off on water in our plants and the frequency of our baths to ease the load on our reservoirs? one of those is thirlmere in the lake district and it is farfrom bringing. united utilities rely on it to help supply millions of households in the north—west of england and has been asking those homes for help but it
6:50 am
might be time for more drastic action. there is a big drive under way now to really get the message out there, please, can people think about using water more cleverly. people might get a bit confused, is this a serious situation or not and if it is, why don't you just be part ofa if it is, why don't you just be part of a hosepipe ban, for example?‘ hosepipe ban could be imminent. if we don't bring the demand down to water, they be the next step and it could be within days or weeks. in northern ireland, they've had one already but the rest of the uk, not crisis time yet the pressure is on to keep the pressure up. water uk represents the industry and says some areas have been using 30% more water. while companies like southern and severn trent have had to increase above normal levels. that's what been happening here. we've had to put an additional half a billion
6:51 am
litres of water into supplies that is about 25% more than we would usually at this time of year and we think that is largely because people are using more water things like garden sprinklers and hosepipes. we are treating it as fast as we can to keep up with demand, keep the pipes filled with treated water to keep the demand of the other end and that is unsustainable at that level. with possibly weeks more of baking hot with tom, it will take a big effort from water companies and their customers to avoid having more hosepipe bans appearing on the horizon. sean's here now — what are the water companies doing to keep our taps running? they were in the spotlight when it is wet. both sides of the spectrum. they were criticised for the leakages. that's the kind of thing that can have a knock—on effect when you have a bit of hot weather. the regulator actually said, a month or so ago, it is the issue around
6:52 am
lea ka g es so ago, it is the issue around leakages that makes us more vulnerable to drought. so there are questions over whether water companies on the whole have done enoughin companies on the whole have done enough in the buildup to this, never mind how they are acting right now. we are using a load. you and i hear, the impact. as it is all right to say the bad weather, whatever it is, the weather always seems to be the blame. there is a lack of preparation. it depends when you hear the water companies saying things, sending texts and e—mails out to people to try and use auto companies, even those around. there are many who say they are reservoirs are many who say they are reservoirs are full. it would be useful if customers didn't use the sprinklers. those kind of things, do they need to go the whole hog like united utilities, but they say a hosepipe
6:53 am
ban. other companies getting a message out enough. maybe one criticism of their preparations. the royal air force was formed towards the end of the first world war — next week sees a spectacular display in the skies over london to celebrate its 100th anniversary. the bbc‘s sophie raworth has been taking a look at the life of her grandfather edwin, who was one of the raf‘s original pilots, risking his life for his country. it is really heavy. my goodness. it's so heavy. it started with a battered suitcase in my parents cellar. oh, my goodness, look at that. my grandfather had rarely spoken about his service with the royal flying corps. he spoken about his service with the royalflying corps. he forged his birth certificate to join up with 17 in here along with his uniform were
6:54 am
clues to his experiences in the closing months of the first world war. the role of our power changed dramatically during the war. unarmed tiny machines designed for taking pictures of the battlefields quickly evolved into a fighter planes and bombers. the faces of the men who flew them to line the walls at the raf museum in hendon. around and above them are our craft so flimsy, it makes you wonder how they stayed in the air. amazing, these planes. absolutely, and here is a b—2. that's what my grandfather flew. absolutely, this type year, the construction is amazing. it's a wooden frame around which is stretched the irish linen and you can hear, it's tight and it's also been lacquered. it looks so fragile, so flimsy. that's right. early construction techniques were a bit of trial and error, the whole thing is, the wings are bracing shape with
6:55 am
piano wires. my grandfather would have been only too aware of the risks you face. more than 14,000 british pilots were killed, many more simply disappeared over the battlefields. as a bomber pilot, edwin raworth's chances of survival we re edwin raworth's chances of survival were better than the men dubbed the suicide squad. exhausted, and living on our nerves, most fighter pilots only lasted a few weeks. at an airfield in the thames valley, i could at least get a sense of what my grandfather went through. my father had spoken of the be2 aircraft my grandfather had trained in. this replica was virtually identical.
6:56 am
i never met my grandfather but for a few moments, i had an idea of what it must have been like for him up there, a frightened teenager in the skies above france. edwin raworth was one of the original pilot ‘s 100 yea rs was one of the original pilot ‘s 100 years ago. what he did and saw scarred him so much that when he left the raf, he never flew scarred him so much that when he left the raf, he neverflew again. sophie raworth, bbc news. and you can see more on that story in a special programme this evening. raf 100 - into the blue will be on the bbc news channel at 9.30. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. rail officials are warning that disruption at london victoria could continue into rush hour this morning. faulty signalling equipment
6:57 am
caused problems for tens of thousands of passengers on southern, thameslink and gatwick express services for most of yesterday. network rail says all the lines affected by the power failure have been reopened but delays are possible. the situation will improve, the situation will get better and i really extend my thanks and gratefulness to the patience of passengers. we hope the service will be at least close to normal but as ever, please do check before you travel. ahead of pride this weekend, figures from the metropolitan police show that attacks against lgbt plus londoners, have doubled over the last four years. there's also been a spike in incidents around june and july which is pride season. a gay man, who was assaulted on the tube, says that he feels safe in london despite what happened to him, but that he still worries about potential attacks. there are times when you do get nerves or you're a bit concerned when you're on public transport.
6:58 am
for me, i'm not going to let it, you know, completely change the way i am because that's letting other people win and also, i'm still a proud gay man and i'm not going to change in that way. let's have a look at the travel situation now. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it's a very warm start this morning and we had a hot, sticky night, quite uncomfortable for sleeping.
6:59 am
there's little change in our weather today, it remains hot and it remains sunny. in the most part, remains dry as well. over in the east, there's the chance of a shower. we had a few yesterday, there are fewer around today but there may be one or two parts of essex, of example, parts of kent. the maximum temperature reaching 30 celsius, the wind very light today so it is going to feel very warm. a lovely evening in the sunshine and then overnight, mostly clear at least in the west, and cloud feeding in from the east overnight. the minimum temperature very hot, quite sticky and uncomfortable. between 15 and 18 celsius. into the weekend, it remains dry, hot and sunny. plenty of sunshine around saturday. a certain football match tomorrow afternoon, 31 celsius the maximum. a similar state the sunday and the dry weather continues, a little bit cooler for midweek and then warming up again as we head into next weekend.
7:00 am
i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now it's back to steph and naga. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. our headlines today: crunch talks on brexit. theresa may and her cabinet will meet to finally decide what they want from the uk's relationship with europe. a defining day for brexit — theresa may and her cabinet will meet to finally agree a blueprint of the uk's future relationship with the eu. a local diver dies trying to rescue 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a flooded cave in thailand. police say a couple fighting for their lives after being poisoned by novichok had handled a contaminated object. as we head into a big weekend of sport, there's joy for kyle edmund, but despair forjo konta here at wimbledon. and gareth southgate says england may never have a better chance
7:01 am
to win the world cup, as they prepare for tomorrow's quarter final against sweden. you can watch the bbc at 3pm tomorrow afternoon and ahead of the wimbledon match between kyle edmund and novak djokovic. it will be dry, sunny and hot and that is the forecast for wimbledon and other parts of the uk. a bit more cooler in the north but nonetheless, very nice. more in 15 minutes of. —— 15 minute. and it's the prospect of more hot weather that has got water companies thinking of more hosepipe bans. i'll have more on where and when they might be, a little later. it's friday the 6th ofjuly. our top story. theresa may will hold crunch talks with her ministers at chequers today to agree what kind of relationship the uk wants to have with the european union after brexit. it's understood she'll propose that the uk remains closely aligned to the eu on rules for buying and selling goods but not services, and how goods will move between the uk and the eu. but the prime minister has to keep the two sides
7:02 am
of her party happy. for example, if we follow eu rules on goods, will the european court ofjustice still sort out any disputes? and would trade deals with other countries like the us will become harder to agree? the prime minister's in the middle trying to sort it all out. she hopes a day at her country retreat will put an end to all the squabbling — the talks are due to last 12 hours. but let's not forget about the negotiators in brussels. getting the cabinet to agree a brexit plan isjust the first hurdle. even then, the eu's unlikely to accept it. and in a few minutes time we'll be at westminster, looking at theresa may's options as she faces a political game of chess with her cabinet colleagues. we'll discuss what moves she'll be making, to avoid being caught check—mate. we will explain all of that later
7:03 am
on. looking at the other stories this morning counter terror police have confirmed that the couple fighting for their lives after being poisoned by novichok, handled a contaminated item. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess from amesbury, have been poisoned by the same nerve agent used on the former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia in march. our reporter fiona lamdin is there now, what's happening this morning? police are still very much present? yes, iam police are still very much present? yes, i am i1 police are still very much present? yes, iam i1 of the police are still very much present? yes, i am i1 of the six cordons, it was from here that dawn sturgess and charlie rowley were rushed to hospital nearly a week ago last saturday. two days ago we learnt that the parent had been in contact with novichok, the same substance that the former russian spy sergei skripal had been in contact with in
7:04 am
salisbury. yesterday we learned that the highest concentration of novichok was found on the couple's hans. it is suspected that maybe they picked up a container, something that was discarded after the attack on the skripal‘s. we have spoken to charlie's brother and he told us how he found out that his brother was seriously ill. my next—door neighbour came around here and told me — because he knew my surname — he said "your brother is in hospital, he has been infected with this neurotoxin" and i said "well, that is the first thing i have heard. " then i read it in the paper this morning. he is my younger brother. i love him to bits. i don't want anything to happen to him. and yet, it has. well, public
7:05 am
health england have said that the risk to the public is very low but the people living here on the estate have been told not to touch the railings, don't pick anything up from the ground. there are now over 100 counterterrorism officers working on the case but the question remains, many unanswered questions and today, nearly a week on, to members of the public remain in intensive care in a very critical condition. japanese media is reporting that seven members of a doomsday cult, who carried out a deadly nerve gas attack on the tokyo subway in 1995, have been executed. 13 people died and thousands more were hurt when the cult released the nerve agent, sarin, on the underground system during the morning rush hour. the us secretary of state mike pompeo is in pyongyang for talks with the north korean leader, kim jong—un. mr pompeo is under pressure to get more details on how and when the regime might give up its nuclear weapons. let's get more from our correspondent mariko oi, who's in the south
7:06 am
korean capital, seoul. they are trying to get more than just words, aren't they, about whether there will be this denuclearisation. is that likely to happen from this visit? there is definitely a lot of pressure on the us secretary of state, who has arrived at yong gang several hours ago. we are not getting as many updates from foreign journalists who are accompanying him, so we don't know all of the details of when the meeting might take waste. —— young and. there is definitely a lot of pressure on him to get more than just words of. —— pyongyang. after that singapore summit where kim jong—un and president donald trump net, and they agreed to the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula, some evidence seen by us intelligence agencies says that the
7:07 am
company, country continues to work on its programme. declaration at the summit was so vague that it might not be that stick and has actually violated anything that he agreed to in singapore but it definitely added to speculation is whether he is really sincere or whether he is genuine when he said he is committed to the denuclearisation. interestingly, mike pompeo a p pa re ntly interestingly, mike pompeo apparently brought a letter from president trump to kim jong—un, as well as a cd of rocket man, remember when he called him a little rocket man when tensions were high. a p pa re ntly man when tensions were high. apparently at the singapore summit donald trump asked kim jong—un whether he has heard the song and he said no. so he is going to get that cd very shortly. thank you very much, an important day. in thailand, a former thai navy diver has died while delivering supplies to the 12 boys and their coach trapped in a cave. the diver, who had left the navy but came to help the rescue, lost consciousness on his way back from the cave and could not be
7:08 am
revived by his colleague. there's still no decision on how to rescue the group which has been trapped for almost two weeks. the children were found on a rocky ledge around 2.5 miles from the mouth of the cave on monday. more than 128—million litres of water has been pumped out of the cave — allowing rescue teams to walk further into the tunnel — however, some parts are still too narrow to access. more heavy rain is forecast. the boys are being taught the basics of diving — some need to be taught how to swim, but there are concerns that it could be too risky. howard johnson is there for us this morning. what more do we know now of what has happened to this dive? —— what more do we know now of what has happened to this diver? we heard that around 1am, a 38—year—old former thai navy diver
7:09 am
was working with the teams down there in the cave complex trying to help the operation by putting at ta nks help the operation by putting at tanks through the tight chambers of. u nfortu nately we tanks through the tight chambers of. unfortunately we believe that he ran out of oxygen, became unconscious and they tried to revive him but at 5am he was taken to the hospital near to hear, but he was dead u nfortu nately near to hear, but he was dead unfortunately because of this accident. what we have heard is that the thai navy will give him a full honours funeral and it is obviously dampening spirits here, but they do say that they will continue the operation regardless of. let me talk about the wider picture here and the support team that are here helping the people inside the cave, let me bring in brandon, he has been living in this area to seven years. tell me, what are you doing to help the operation? we live really close to here, about ten minutes away, we
7:10 am
told the people here any way we can help we would love to help. because ican speak help we would love to help. because i can speak thai i could help translate it and take care of the foreign news people who have come to try to get this news story. you have been inside the cave before, what is it like? because it is so close to my house we bring visitors here, i have never been very far into it, i even brought my kids there last year, just to see inside and down in the basement of. it has transformed since the media was here. before this, we never had a person on it. this used to be beautiful grass and now there are thousands of people here all the time. is thank you. that is the latest from here, handing back to the studio. thank you. that is the latest from here, handing back to the studiom is coming up to 11 minutes past seven. 15 of the most popular websites and apps have terms and conditions that require a university—level of education to understand, according to analysis from the bbc. that's despite the fact that most
7:11 am
can be used by children as young as 13 — asjoe miller has been finding out. it's occasionally said that politicans are full of hot air. but protestors wishing to express their opposition to president trump have taken that to another level. a giant balloon showing the us leader as an angry baby — complete with a nappy — will be flown above parliament square when mr trump visits the uk next week. london mayor, sadiq khan, who gave permission for the six—metre blimp to be flown, said he supports the right to peaceful protest. i have never seen i have never seen a i have never seen a glint in the air like that before. in a few days, you
7:12 am
will. —— blimp. like that before. in a few days, you will. -- blimp. the time is 12 minutes past seven. back to our main story and the crunch brexit talks theresa may will be having with her cabinet today at her country retreat — chequers. our political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster for us this morning. alex, you're going to talk us through the prime minister's moves in this game of political high stakes? this is a pretty big day for the prime minister. the pressure is on for her to try to get some sort of plan for the uk's future relations with the eu. she has summoned ministers to her country residence and what better way to talk through some of the manoeuvres that might ta ke some of the manoeuvres that might take place them with our berry own chequers chessboard. this is not meant to be accurate. this is meant to bea meant to be accurate. this is meant to be a broad representation of some of the situation she might find herself in and the complex strategies. what we have got here is theresa may, our king. she may come
7:13 am
out on top or she might be toppled. right now what she is doing is moving forward one step at a time, try to get her bleak —— brexit plans through to the other side. broadly supportive of what she has come up with so far, we have some people like the chancellor philip hammond down here. he keeps close ties with the eu and is not happy with every element of the prime minister's plan, but we think he will probably be out there fighting her corner today. we have other people on that side too like greg clark, the business secretary. he says you have got to click close relations, vital for business and is likely to come out in favour of staying close to the eu, which is what we think will be floated today. and we have people at the back like jeremy be floated today. and we have people at the back likejeremy hunt, who has been wavering but is in favour of that sort of relationship. however, on the other side we have the hardline brexiteers, not least, borisjohnson. he thinks what has been proposed so far will keep the
7:14 am
uk it too close to the eu and we would be able to strike aaron trade deals, we might have to stick with too many rules and regulations, so it is very possible he will come right up against the prime minister today to make his case. he is not the only one. you have david davis here probably fighting the same sort of battle, saying that we need to make sure we have a clean break and the uk keeps control of its own future and fake. the trade secretary liam fox on that side of the argument and michael gove, the environment secretary, who was at prominent brexiteer himself. the big question being that when all of the manoeuvres have been completed at the end of the day, will it be checkmate for the prime minister? to talk all of this i am joined by this professor. who do you think will be left standing? at the moment we don't know. what we don't know is whether the prime minister is to push this to a conclusion today.
7:15 am
what she has been really good at doing is basically fudging, keeping both sides roughly on board, both sides are to be dissatisfied. it might be today that today is the day she chooses in which that she might find resignations because the cabinet is polarised. what we don't have on our chessboard is brussels, they are not represented and even if theresa may manages to manoeuvre her way to the cabinet sure to face the brussels side as well. what do you think will happen them back —— bear? it isa think will happen them back —— bear? it is a horrible 3—dimensional game of chess, you have to deal with michel barnier and the irony of this is one of the customs plans that the uk government has put forward today has been particularly warmly received. so she has got to try and square these two circles, what is happening at home with what brussels once and that will be hard to do. the government ‘s position has been that they are confident they can strike a deal because it is in the interest of brussels and the uk that
7:16 am
to get a deal. to think that will give theresa may in a leveraged?” think what will give her a leveraged isa think what will give her a leveraged is a growing sense that what we don't want is no deal. one way or another, pushing one side of the cabinet further than they want to go, she will have to make concessions at home to allow that. thank you very much forjoining us. obviously we are depicting this as a bit of the game at the stakes are high because in reality it is the future of the country and possibly theresa may's political career at sta ke. theresa may's political career at stake. iam broadly theresa may's political career at stake. i am broadly out of chess puns, it is back to you. thank you. it isa puns, it is back to you. thank you. it is a game that has some type of ending, we know that chess can last a long time. a lot of black and white in the discussions of. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: cabinet ministers meet at chequers today to thrash out a brexit
7:17 am

7:18 am
wimbledon today is actually dry and hot and going to be sunny with just a gentle breeze. temperatures up to 30 degrees today. it's going to be really hot. if you are sitting in a son, slather yourself and suncream. where a hat and a t—shirt. the usual drill. it's going to be dry and hot across many parts of the uk. if you look at the forecast at nine o'clock, we've also got a weak weather front straddling the north—west of scotland which has been producing some patchy) and is all. northern ireland, off to a cloudy start but it will break and you will see sunny spells develop. north—east england right away down the coast. the midlands and wales, heading down towards the southern
7:19 am
counties, wall—to—wall blue skies. the crowd will rattle back to the east coast. a bit more cloud developing through the day. at times, a bit more fully example across northern england and western scotland. here, temperatures higher than yesterday but not as high as we look further south. for many, load to mid— 20s. through the evening, any of the showers that form through the day which could be the sx and sussex and kent, they might need to lead to flash flooding. a bit more across north—west scotland. temperatures widely in double figures. some spite —— some spots might bea figures. some spite —— some spots might be a bit lower than that. again, there clad building through
7:20 am
the day. the most of us, it will be try —— dry. again, hitand miss. if anything tomorrow, broadly, it's going to be warmer than today. widely, we are looking at the mid to high 20s but again in the south—east, 30, 31, local even 32. temperatures still at those kind of levels. the mid to high 20s. at times across the north of scotland, a bit more cloud, producing a shower but if you are wondering when this is going to end, at the moment, it looks like it's going to continue into next week. temperatures won't be as high. maybe next weekend, we are talking about the 14th ofjuly, we might see a change. a trade war between the world's two biggest economies
7:21 am
stepped up a level this morning as president trump's new tariffs on chinese goods came into force. sean's here — just because the uk isn't one of those countries doesn't mean we're not affected, does it? you got to wonder at which point it was going to cause problems. merely the fact that we have trade wars going on. we've got a steel industry here. those kind of things have a knock—on effect. when you see the likes of donald trump saying, we are going to implement these big tariffs against china, 25% tax on imports from china into the us. china then says, we are going to tax some of your car imports into china, but can have a knock—on effect. but this is
7:22 am
all around the world start thinking, hang on, am i going to be taxed on something? that can affect us because we export and import from all around the world. never mind the fa ct all around the world. never mind the fact that it can be brought in. all around the world. never mind the fact that it can be brought inm there anyone who benefits from it? donald trump says, if i start taxing imports coming into the us, that means people in the us, this is in the us might start buying the stuff from other businesses and not from abroad. the idea is that it would boost americanjobs. abroad. the idea is that it would boost american jobs. mark carney said the people most if this will be the american people. the american economy, that's no good because they area big economy, that's no good because they are a big trading partner. changing your buying habits, that doesn't change overnight. when 12 year old billy caldwell had his medicinal cannabis oil confiscated at heathrow airport, it led to some mps calling for a change to drugs laws. the home office is reviewing the use of medicinal cannabis, and looking at individual cases. radio 1 newsbeat‘sjim connolly has been to meet one man who says he'd
7:23 am
benefit from the drug being available on prescription. alex was diagnosed with crohn's disease at age 19 and over the past eight years, he has tried a range of medication to control his condition. alex knows he's breaking the law but says taking cannabis in a variety of ways helps him. i've recently had surgery to remove most of my large bowel which has left me with a colostomy. cannabis helps with my pain, and my nausea, and helps me sleep with minimal side—effects. alex wants to arrange a meeting with the expert panel. thank you for calling the home office. but he's worried he doesn't qualify. so there isn't the number at all to speak to the expert panel? the process they set up is complicated and convoluted for chronically ill patients like myself to get through and i just want to sit down in front of the panel to explain why it helps me in my life and it's
7:24 am
incredibly frustrating that i don't fit the criteria and i won't be seen. we've been trying to get more details on this but the home office and that was radio 1 newsbeat‘sjim connolly reporting there. hannah deacon's son alfie suffers from epilepsy and says medicinal cannabis has helped him. and from our newcastle studio, we'rejoined by alfie's hospital consultant mike barnes. we start an application process with the home office which was very long and arduous and without them, on the 19th ofjune, we were very, very lucky to be issued a schedule one licence. the first of its kind in the country. we are obviously ecstatic and he is doing very well. we are going to the complainants, the thc component at the end in two
7:25 am
weeks because we have to go and get it. when we do that, hopefully he will be back to where he was when he was in holland which was seizure free. is gone from having 300 seizures torn to none. the impact is quite incredible in terms of what difference it makes. it's been a miracle. our doctor said to us, if you carry on the way you are, you will die or lapse into psychosis. i'm going to do all i can to keep him alive and i found i'm going to do all i can to keep him alive and ifound medical cannabis. we used a paediatric neurologist and was prescribed medication which was used throughout the world and as far as i'm concerned, the world and as far as i'm concerned , every the world and as far as i'm concerned, every family out there watching this it has a child who is
7:26 am
sick should have this medication and that's what i'm going to work, what i'm paid to do is their ambassador. having been apparent in gone through what i've gone through, what we've gone through and my daughter, no family should go through that. let's talk to mike barnes. what are your thoughts on the panel now, the changes that are being proposed. we heard the experience here. this has been revolutionary. it's been an extraordinary couple of weeks. the evidence is overwhelming. it's been a remarkable turnaround. credited assents to the home office were doing that. there are potentially some problems hopefully about the panel. the main one is the application has to be made by the existing medical team, it may sound reasonable but almost certainly they
7:27 am
have no expertise in cannabis. there needs to be some mechanism to get cannabis experts aboard and inputting into the team. then the other thing is, cannabis has got to be the last resort, you have two of tried everything else. i'm not saying it is the first choice but equally, it is not the last choice. for example, in pain, it forces people to try opioids first which a serious medications with a lot of significant side—effects. there are some problems with the panel but hopefully its temporary problems that will be ironed out. this isn't beneficial for everyone? that will be ironed out. this isn't beneficialfor everyone? it that will be ironed out. this isn't beneficial for everyone? it must be a case—by—case basis. beneficial for everyone? it must be a case-by-case basis. notjust the young children with epilepsy, the people with chronic pain. a whole host of other indications. we need to do more research. but there is good evidence that it can help a lot
7:28 am
of people, tens of thousands of people already use medicinal cannabis and more will do so now the government is relaxing those rules and allowing other people to get hold of it. if the rules are relaxed, with that comes regulation and more information. as a parent, you almost knocking around the dark. what's really important is most of the doctors i spoke to, i started this campaign to my son, and finding out about cannabis, immersing myself in learning. most doctors i speak to don't know anything about it. it's not their fault that they need training in what is really important now is the panel is a bridge to hopefully the government rescheduling cannabis as a medicine and it will become a health department issue and the training will be given. doctors can't prescribe medications they know nothing about. it's not fair. the panel is great. we need to educate our doctors and health professionals
7:29 am
and our parents and as you say, it doesn't work, it's a miracle, that every parent should have the right to tie that. it's so hard having a sick child. we really appreciate it. we will see when a couple of minutes. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. disruption at london victoria is continuing into rush hour with delays and cancellations on some routes. faulty signalling equipment caused problems for tens of thousands of passengers on southern, thameslink and gatwick express services for most of yesterday. network rail says all the lines affected by the power failure have been reopened but delays are possible. the situation will improve, the situation will get better
7:30 am
and i really extend my thanks and gratefulness to the patience of passengers. we hope the service will be at least close to normal but as ever, please do check before you travel. ahead of pride this weekend, figures from the metropolitan police show that attacks against lgbt+ londoners have doubled over the last four years. there's also been a spike in incidents around june and july which is pride season. a gay man, who was assaulted on the tube, says that he feels safe in london despite what happened to him, but that he still worries about potential attacks. there are times when you do get nerves or you're a bit concerned when you're on public transport. for me, i'm not going to let it, you know, completely change the way i am because that's letting other people win and also, i'm still a proud gay man and i'm not going to change in that way.
7:31 am
on the trains — following the signalling problem at streatham common yesterday. southern have delays of up to 15 minutes and there are some cancellations between victoria and west croydon. and gatwick express have delays of up to 10 minutes between victoria and west croydon. the blackwall tunnel is queueing northbound from the woolwich road flyover. the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it's a very warm start this morning and we had a hot, sticky night, quite uncomfortable for sleeping. there's little change in our weather today, it remains hot and it remains sunny. in the most part, it remains dry as well. over in the east, there's the chance of a shower. we had a few yesterday, there are fewer around today but there may be one or two parts of essex,
7:32 am
for example, parts of kent. the maximum temperature, though, reaching 30 celsius, the wind very light today so it is going to feel very warm. a lovely evening in the sunshine and then overnight, mostly clear at least in the west, and cloud feeding in from the east overnight. the minimum temperature again very hot, quite sticky and uncomfortable. between 15 and 18 celsius. into the weekend, it remains dry, hot and sunny. plenty of sunshine around for saturday. a certain football match perhaps tomorrow afternoon, 31 celsius the maximum. similar day for sunday and the dry weather continues into next week, a little bit cooler for midweek and then warming up again as we head into next weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back to steph and naga. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. cabinet ministers will gather
7:33 am
at the prime minister's country retreat, chequers, this morning, for what are expected to be showdown talks about the brexit offer the uk will present to the european union. ministers will have to surrender their phones when they arrive at the talks, which are due to last 12 hours. it's understood the main proposal is for the uk to remain closely aligned to the eu when trading goods, but not services. a thai diver has died while delivering supplies to 12 boys and their football coach, who have been trapped in a cave for nearly two weeks. former navy diver, saman gunan, was part of a team of volunteers working to free the group from the cave, before heavy monsoon rains arrive in the area on sunday. he lost consciousness on his way out of the cave system and could not be revived. counter terror police have confirmed that the couple, fighting for their lives after being poisoned by novichok, handled a contaminated item. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess from amesbury have been poisoned by the same nerve agent used on the former russian spy sergei skripal, and his daughter yulia, in salisbury in march. japanese media is reporting that
7:34 am
seven members of a doomsday cult, who carried out a deadly nerve gas attack on the tokyo subway in 1995, have been executed. 13 people died and thousands more were hurt when the cult released the nerve agent, sarin, on the underground system during the morning rush hour. the us secretary of state mike pompeo is in pyongyang for talks with the north korean leader, kim jong—un. mr pompeo is under pressure to get more details on how and when the regime might give up its nuclear weapons. last week, us intelligence officials said they believed north korea had increased its production of enriched uranium. 15 of the most popular websites and apps have terms and conditions that require a university—level of education to understand according to analysis from the bbc. that's despite the fact that most can be used by children as young as 13.
7:35 am
tech firms say they are trying to simplify their terms but new data protection rules make it difficult. coming up on the programme we'll get the weather with carol, who's at wimbledon. isa is a gorgeous! is obviously causing problems in terms of water supplies. -- it is. problems in terms of water supplies. —— it is. there are lots of people enjoying it. might is at wimbledon taking a look at what is coming up, you are based in sunshine. —— bathed. the sun is coming over the roof of centre court. they are taking a big tent down just centre court. they are taking a big tent downjust in centre court. they are taking a big tent down just in case there is a bit of rain overnight and it also keeps off condensation. they are coming off, the covers, it will get
7:36 am
rather noisy. they have got to get ready for 1pm, first up on centre court is sam querry against gael monfils and then the likes of serena williams and roger federer. a mixed day for the brits. the last standing is kyle adnan. —— kyle edmonds. so here we are on day five, and british interest in the women's side of the draw is already over. jo konta was a semi finallist last year, but was comprehensively beaten in straight sets by slovakia's dominica cibulkova. konta's struggled for form in the last year, but insists she's not going backwards. i am taking care of things on my end and i am trusting in that process that that will bring me opportunities to perform and perform well and go deep into tournaments. however, nothing is guaranteed and that is what is beautiful about sport. she drops out of the women's top 40
7:37 am
asa she drops out of the women's top 40 as a result. the only other brit left in the women's draw was katie boulter. she lost to the 18th seed — japan's naomi osaka. it's been a decent tournament though for boulter, who's first appearance in the second round here is likely to push her closer to a top 100 ranking. it was a much better day on centre court for kyle edmund. the british number one comfortably beat american qualifier bradley klahn, but things are about to get much tougher. his first ever third round tie will be against three—time champion novak djokovic tomorrow, and there'll be the added distraction of england's quarter final at the world cup. talking of the world cup, it is nearly here. so to the world cup — england's quarterfinal against sweden is tomorrow and gareth southgate says they may never have a better chance to become world champions. england will travel around 1,000 miles from their base in repino south east to samara today, that first ever world cup penalty
7:38 am
shoot out win fresh in their minds. it'll be their first quarter final since 2006, and southgate says his side needs to make the most of the opportunity. we have a huge hurdle if we want to get to a semi—final, equally, it's a great opportunity for us. and although our team will be individually better in two years and with more life experiences, maybe the cards on injuries and things don't fall as kindly as they have this time and we might not have this opportunity again. so we have got to make the most of the opportunity in terms of being as prepared as we can be. let's go to england's training base in repino and our sport's correspondent david ornstein, and david there couldn't be more of a contrast in the weather from here in wimbledon to where you are? it is not ideal preparation, the
7:39 am
weather is different to what it will be in samara, temperatures expected in excess of 30 degrees. but in truth, most of their preparations are already done the. they are ready for this crucial water final, where they did to reach the first semi—final since 1990. sweden will be no pushovers, coming across switzerland in the last 16. this is a new english and swedish sides. the main concern for england is injury, with jamie va rdy main concern for england is injury, with jamie vardy a doubt and also concerns over ashley young, kyle walker and harry kane coming off that colombia game with bumps and bruises but they will be training behind us in a short time and we
7:40 am
should know more than. it is getting closer now, england leave this afternoon and arrive in samara later on, match day tomorrow 3pm in the uk. david in a repino, before flying off to samara where it will be much hotter. let's have a look then at what the players have been saying on social media. ‘focus' seems very much the word of the day for captain harry kane and his spurs team—mate dele alli. dele as david was saying is fit and will be part of the matchday squad. and gareth southgate showing that he's not afraid to get stuck into training, trying to get a hold of danny welbeck. so here are the details you need. england vs sweden. kick off is at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. you can watch it live on bbc one, and if you're out and about you can listen on bbc radio 5 live. before england, there's two quarter finals today,
7:41 am
with a potential rival to harry kane's charge for the golden boot up first. france's kylian mbappe has three goals for the tournament after his brilliant performance in the last 16 win over argentina. his side take uruguay this afternoon. the south americans have one of the meanest defences at this world cup. it should be very interesting to see how that one fares. that match is first up in nizhny novgorod. both france and uruguay won their respective groups on their way to the quarter finals. as did brazil and belgium who meet later in kazan. that match is live on bbc one. it isa it is a huge weekend of sport, although —— also should mention the f1 comes to silverstone, lewis hamilton saying he is desperate to avoid the press conference after qualifying. he may actually risk getting a fine or some kind of
7:42 am
punishment so he can get away as soon as punishment so he can get away as soon as qualifying is finished to watch the england game. all of these people have these dilemmas, of course, kyle edmund with his swedish coach. we are talking about saturday jobs, did you have a saturdayjob? myself? yes. iwork in a newsagent and then later on i was a roman centurion at winchester and had to lea p o nto centurion at winchester and had to leap onto people and deliver some sort of speech. the only problem was, i got dismissed because i was chased by a pack of dogs up the streets of winchester and had to flag down a policeman because i had jumped out at the wrong time, a couple of dogs chased me down winchester, a true story. this is why i never ask mark a question. why are we talking about this? there was once a time when having a saturdayjob was a key part of growing up.
7:43 am
it gave teenagers a bit of cash, and their first experience of the world of work. but it seems that times have changed. a new study suggests that the number of young people with a saturdayjob has more than halved compared to 20 years ago. we've been speaking to one shopkeeper who's struggling to find a helping hand at the weekend. it has been a struggle for the last 12-18 it has been a struggle for the last 12 — 18 months to try and get a saturday person for the job. i 12 — 18 months to try and get a saturday person for thejob. i don't know why that is, is that the lifestyle this day and age? valuable time on saturday and sunday is for the family? my lad at the moment is 14 and has maths exams and i can see how stressful it is. i can remember myself, me and my younger sister all having saturday jobs of. myself, me and my younger sister all having saturdayjobs of. i started work at 14 years of age, used to get on the boss, come to work on a saturday, to ten hours of work and get the bus back home. all friends of mine had saturdayjobs. if it is
7:44 am
in you to work and if you are in a shop meeting the public and doing little things and getting the general knowledge of things, it gives you that little bit of a step up gives you that little bit of a step upfor gives you that little bit of a step up for life which i think a lot of them are missing out on. thanks to butcher peter robinson for his time, we're joined now by coral daniels a student at the university of salford who's and from london generational expert paul redmond. isaid i said you had saturday work and that involve? a different kind of jobs, worked in fast food, and i was an instructorfor jobs, worked in fast food, and i was an instructor for axe throwing, which was fantastic. where were you doing that? there is a place in dean skate when i was at university and that was brilliant because it was weekends and evenings. explain a bit more. is this for angry people? they are very health and safety minded. it's got to be
7:45 am
kept. and it's a customer service job of someone can irritate you, you can throw an axe. keating having a saturday job was can throw an axe. keating having a saturdayjob was helpful? can throw an axe. keating having a saturdayjob was helpful7m can throw an axe. keating having a saturday job was helpful? it was definitely helpful in terms of before coming to university, it gives you extra skills, so there is more to and after a year —— and after, i couldn't have afforded university so it was essential. paul, one of the latest bits of research shows generations are not favouring working because they are lazy, they put so much effort into studying. how easy do you think it is to strike a balance. it helps in terms of getting into university. is to strike a balance. it helps in terms of getting into universitym
7:46 am
is all about balance. we want students to come to us, having had experience. we also recognised its competitive now to get into university. we know that in many cases, when they focus on studying. it also reflects changes in the job market. they are now being automated and being taken by people who are older, who are staying in work or carry on making money so the world of work itself is obviously changing. when i'm doing my business corresponding job, speak a lot to companies who say to me, there are so companies who say to me, there are so many young people coming to them now to our exam monsters but they are not good actually being able to do that customer service things. is there a sense that perhaps young
7:47 am
people i've been told enough about what they are going to need. again, it is this new world of work, getting a graduate job, it's not just about skills and knowledge, its behaviour you communicate, how you get on on with other people. we realise with education, it is important but it's obviously experience itself. part of the degree course. i think we recognise that its experience and educational knowledge as well. when you speak to your friends, the ones who don't work, what do they say? a lot of them claim they don't have time but you will see them out on a weekend wasting loads of money so they do have time. sometimes it's a case of not being able to find what fits around education. i've gone months without work purely to the fact that
7:48 am
even i've had the skills, it wasn't available at the drop of a hat. it's crazy. thank you very much for your time. i know some people are saying they've struggled to find the job. its day five at wimbledon. carol was there. you know what i'm missing will stop its permanently scorching at the minute. it's been so hot. not
7:49 am
at the minute. it's been so hot. not a particularly good some thus far in iceland but here in wimbledon, it's scorching today. highs of 30 celsius. the many, dry and very warm. we've got cloud is coming from the north sea. that will tend to burn back towards the coast and burn ways to go through the day. a weak weather front through the northwest is producing a more cloud that same front affecting northern ireland. you've got a cloudy start. north—east england, right down to norfolk, look at the same cloud coming in through the north sea but that will burn back through the
7:50 am
closed. through the midlands and wales, southern counties of england into the south—west, a lot of dry weather. as temperatures rise to the course of the day. we could see some torrential hungry downpours. type —— tunbridge wells, we did have some flash flooding. a bit more cloud will develop. and it's going to be cooler, including northern england. still evening sunshine. we are not expecting much clout are coming from north sea either. we start off on a dry note, a set of sunshine. the
7:51 am
cloud developing. the loss of it will be fair weather cloud. some it's going to get hotter. the mid to high 20s. 30, 31, even 32. sunday is the same. if you're watching the football at three o'clock anywhere in the uk, expected to be scorching, dry and sunny. she is talking about the sun. a sprinkler uses the same amount of water that a family of four uses in a day, in one hour. sean has been to a day, in one hour. sean has been to a reservoir. to find out more. one of those is the earlier in the
7:52 am
la ke one of those is the earlier in the lake district and it's far from bringing. it might be time for more drastic action. you make there is a big drive under way to get the message out there, please, can people think about using water more carefully. people might get a bit confused. if it is serious, be part of a hosepipe, for example? a hosepipe ban could be imminent. if we don't bring the demand down to water, they be the next step and it could be within days or weeks. in northern ireland, they've had one already but for the rest of the uk, not crisis time yet the pressure is on to keep the pressure up. water uk represents the industry and says some areas have been using 30% more water. while companies like southern and severn trent have had to increase above normal levels.
7:53 am
that's what been happening here. we've had to put an additional half a billion litres of water into supplies that is about 25% more than we would usually at this time of year and we think that is largely because people are using more water things like garden sprinklers and hosepipes. we are treating it as fast as we can to keep up with demand, keep the pipes filled with treated water to keep the demand of the other end and that is unsustainable at that level. with possibly weeks more of baking hot weather to come, it will take a big effort from water companies and their customers to avoid having more hosepipe bans appearing on the horizon. there are warnings in other places.
7:54 am
you can't say one thing in a sentence and reflect what is going on with water. united utilities in the north—west of england have those issues. the rest of the country, a lot of water companies are saying the same thing. fewer baths in a week. it doesn't mean you can't have a wash but find a different way to do it. that is what they try to say. there are reservoirs that are at fault but when you look at something like that and see the riverbeds, there are issues in places around there are issues in places around the country. why do they do this all be around? they do tips, save water, they have leakage problems. how do you police a hosepipe ban is to mark they probably say, they do say, we are not policing it. in an extreme circumstance, you could be fined up to £1000 the using it. when you look
7:55 am
back over the years, it's basically to do with neighbours jobbing you into water companies. it's that feeling that this is what we should all be doing. this finds you? it's a legal ban. that would be what they have to do. we will be back with you ina have to do. we will be back with you in a couple of minutes. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. disruption at victoria is continuing into rush hour this with delays and cancellations on some routes. faulty signalling equipment caused problems for tens of thousands of passengers on southern, thameslink and gatwick express services for most of yesterday. network rail says all the lines affected by the power failure have been reopened but delays are possible. the situation will improve,

(steph) ministers will have to surrender their phones ministers will have to surrender their phones when they arrive at the talks, which are due to last 12 hours. last night, brexit—supporting ministers held their own meeting at the foreign office. our political correspondent alex forsyth is at westminster this morning. i feel like always talking about showdown meetings but how is this?
8:01 am
theresa may has to now find some sort of an agreement between her senior team as to what you want the uk's future trading relationship with the eu to be, that's before she sta rts with the eu to be, that's before she starts negotiating with brussels and the task of doing that is huge, that's why she has summoned the cabinet to chequers, her country retreat, they will sit down for 12 hours or more to come up with an agreement. the basic disagreement in the cabinet at this, those who favour closer ties with the eu and those who want a clean break and so for the plant the prime minister has proposed has angered some of the so—called brexiteers in the party. they worry it aims to closely following eu rules and regulations, limiting britain's chance of striking a trade deal and limiting british influence in courts in the uk. the uk needs a decent deal with the eu but finding a way through deep division and difference to get
8:02 am
agreement on that will certainly will not be easy and she has to do that before she even put this to negotiators in brussels. it will be an interesting day for them, alex, thank you. a thai diver has died while delivering supplies to 12 boys and their football coach, who have been trapped in a cave for nearly two weeks. former navy diver, saman gunan, was part of a team of volunteers working to free the group from the cave, before heavy monsoon rains arrive in the area on sunday. he lost consciousness on his way out of the cave system and could not be revived. counter terror police have confirmed that the couple fighting for their lives after being poisoned by novichok, handled a contaminated item. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess from amesbury, have been poisoned by the same nerve agent used on the former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia in march. our reporter fiona lamdin is there now, what's happening this morning? i still see there is a strong police presence and obviously some
8:03 am
confusion about where and when this couple came in contact with the contaminated item ? couple came in contact with the contaminated item? yes, still many u na nswered contaminated item? yes, still many unanswered questions, you can see behind me police guarding that gordon and it's from behind their that the couple were rushed to hospital under a week ago last saturday. we were told two days ago the pair had come in contact, it had been confirmed they had come in contact with novichok and the substance, the same substance used on the russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter. yesterday we were told the strongest contamination of the novichok has been frowned on their hands, it's not possibly be picked up something that had been discarded from the previous attack. charlie rowley‘s older brother matthew spoke to the bbc and told us how he found out his brother was
8:04 am
seriously ill. my next-door neighbour came round and told me, he knew my surname and he said your brother is in hospital, he's been in effect did with this neurotoxin. and isaid, what? effect did with this neurotoxin. and i said, what? that's the first thing i've heard. and then i read in the paper this morning. he i've heard. and then i read in the paperthis morning. he is i've heard. and then i read in the paper this morning. he is my younger brother. i love him to bits. i don't wa nt brother. i love him to bits. i don't want anything to happen to him. and yet, it has. public health england has said the risk to the public is low however people living on this estate had been told not to touch the railings, not to pick things up from the floor, there is a lot of confusion, people are worried, there are now over 100 counterterrorism officers working on this case but nearly a week on many unanswered questions and the fact that two members of the public remain in a critical condition in intensive care. fiona, thank you. the us secretary of state mike
8:05 am
pompeo is in pyongyang for talks with the north korean leader, kim jong—un. mr pompeo is under pressure to get more details on how and when the regime might give up its nuclear weapons. let's get more from our correspondent mariko oi, who's in the south korean capital, seoul. they want more than words on whether there will be this denuclearisation but do you think they are likely to get it? that's the big question, isn't it, after that historic summit in singapore between president trump and kimjong—un, for they said they we re and kimjong—un, for they said they were both committed to the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula, many critics of the summer were asking what that word means to the united states and north korea. it's somewhat different. whether kim is ready to give up all his nuclear wednesday is questionable and since then we have
8:06 am
heard from the us intelligence agencies they have evidence that the country continues working on the nuclear enrichment programme. the declaration from that summit was so vague a dozen necessarily mean kim has violated anything he committed two but it adds to speculation how sincere he is stop mike pompeo has just arrived, he is going to stay there overnight for the first time, this is his third trip and there is a lot of pressure on him to get something more than those words. thank you very much, it will be interesting to see what happens at that meeting. a 16—year—old boy will appear in court today in connection with the death of six—year—old alesha mcphail. alesha's body was found in woodland, hours after she went missing from her grandmother's house, on the isle of bute on monday. terms and conditions, a bit of a nightmare for most people. 15 of the most popular websites and apps have terms and conditions that require
8:07 am
a university—level of education to understand, according to analysis from the bbc. that's despite the fact that most can be used by children as young as 13 — asjoe miller has been finding out. i really like the rainbow one! 5pm on a school day and maxwell and nola are relaxing at their friend ella's home with the help of youtube and instagram. normal siblings versus my siblings. all three children are 13 and legally allowed to join these sites — but unsurprisingly, none have actually read the terms. everything is so long and such small text, it is almost sneaky of them to like, put it like that so that kids would just look at it and just skip past it, i guess. the bbc has analysed the privacy policies of 15 popular websites and apps — including facebook and youtube — and found that most of them take at least half an hour to read and that all of them require a university—level education to be properly understood.
8:08 am
facebook, google and others say they are constantly improving their terms and making them clearer and that easy—to—read summaries are available. but one mp says the key legal documents are simply too complicated. you have to give informed consent for your data to be used, it is not enough to print a load of gobbledygook that you know no—one will ever read and say "ah—ha we have got the right to do it because it says so in here." max and their friends say they won't wade through any lengthy policies however well they are written, but hope the adults who draft them are on their side. more than 24 million of us watched england win their world cup match on tuesday night, and tomorrow we'll do it all again. it was a cracker, wasn't it? it was so it was a cracker, wasn't it? it was so good. it'll be the country's first quarter—final since 2006 —

8:21 am
and therefore boost american jobs and american manufacturing. but the assumption of that is that americans see the prices change and think, i will buy domestic products. but that's a big switch to pin your hopes on, isn't it? it is. the problem with these policies, mark carney says that it makes business is all around the world think, hang on, ifa is all around the world think, hang on, if a trade war is kicking ofcom is my industry going to be the next one to get attacked? —— if a trade war is kicking off, is my industry going to be the next one to get attacked? this can have a knock on effect on businesses over here. if you are in the car industry, no extra ta riffs have you are in the car industry, no extra tariffs have been put on by the us at the moment, we'll donald trump say, all of a sudden, that he will put something there. it is escalating. this has kicked in today, the us tariffs on chinese goods going into america. interesting. nice to see you. in thailand, a former
