6:02 am
materialise. but when england finally upped the tempo, it reached immediate rewards. commentator: harry maguire got his head to it. if one harry doesn't get you, the other one harry doesn't get you, the other one will! a memorable first international goal to harry maguire. from the space inspired cosmos arena, england had last off, and a nation rejoiced. for many —— most of the game, delhi had looked off the boilfor thought the game, delhi had looked off the boil for thought southgate stuck with him yet again will stop it was the right call. this is the stuff of dreams from the three lions! just one sweden goal, though, could have turned the game, they were getting past pickford, there seems to grow taller with each second. it is another remarkable save by pickford. as the clock ticked down, this young tea m as the clock ticked down, this young team to their calm and composure. a tea m team to their calm and composure. a team of rafters at closing in on
6:03 am
mortality. not all heroes wear capes. somewhere waistcoats. eight of these players weren't even born last time england made a world cup semi—final. just look what it means to them and their fans. they are writing own history. the togetherness and mentality is different, we work hard and recovery and get ready for the next game. this is amazing. we have not done it for so long, have we? this isjust really good. i cannot believe it. it is the best thing i have ever witnessed. i love them. fantastic. amazing. come on, england! the fans saying. these boys are giving england heat wave to remember. to be there, hey. our moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, is in samara where the match took place.
6:04 am
iam i am feeling great this morning. that is all i can say. ours is a hangover after celebrations last night? i suspect there are some saw head of the england heads here. it is an extremely quiet sunday morning here after a very, very exuberant crowd of england found —— fans poured out of the arena to celebrate the victory they had been hoping and dreaming of. they were not convinced they could get it until they did, but it was a great moment for the fans, footballing history. he'd talk about it is the footballjournalist for the independent, and you have been covering the whole tournament. from a footballing perspective, how well do they do last night?m from a footballing perspective, how well do they do last night? it was probably england's was complete performance of the world cup so far. they are steadily improving every game and that continued yesterday's match. they were nerveless. if you
6:05 am
compare it with england world cup quarter—finals in the past in 2002 or 2006, this had none of the tension or anxiety of those big games. i was surprised at how comfortable they founded. games. i was surprised at how comfortable they foundedm games. i was surprised at how comfortable they founded. it is not usualfor a comfortable they founded. it is not usual for a quarter—final to england. the team must be under huge pressure now, the weight of the country's expect patients is now on their shoulders. it helps the team that they are so far removed from it all at their base outside st petersburg, one of the things gareth southgate has been clear on since he has been manager is trying to free the players up from the pressure so we don't feel the pressure of history, the history of public expect patient, media pressure and thatis expect patient, media pressure and that is his greatest achievement. he has made this the most likely. sweden were relatively easy as an opponent in the end. can they do it? i think england are the favourites again. wallacia will be tired after the last two games. marginal
6:06 am
favourites. that is what we are hearing now —— croatia. favourites. that is what we are hearing now -- croatia. convinced they are going all the way. embrace they are going all the way. embrace the spirit. enjoy it. sunshine in samara. definitely getting exciting to england. i could not contain myself yesterday. i was thinking not get carried away, but who knows now. it wasn't just the 5000 fans get carried away, but who knows now. it wasn'tjust the 5000 fans in samara that were celebrating last night. a record 30 million viewers were expected to watch the match around the world. pubs were packed, barbecues were burning and towns were tense as people gathered to watch on big screens up and down the country. match of the day pundit alan shearer celebrated england's win with a rendition of three lions with some familiar faces. singing three words. it is coming home. a
6:07 am
little bit of a party going on. three words. it is coming home. a little bit of a party going onm coming home! it's coming home! it's coming home! it's coming home! it's coming home! i think we will hear a spot of that in the next couple of days. it will be an earworm. hope lynott one that will mind. —— hopefully not one that we will mind. we'll bring you more world cup reaction throughout the programme. but in other news, further signs of tension within the conservative party have emerged over the prime minister's plan for future relations with the eu which was agreed by her cabinet on friday. the foreign secretary, boris johnson, is understood to have used colourful language at the meeting to criticise the proposal before later giving it his backing. theresa may says her plan would ensure that brexit is delivered. but critics say the plan would be "unworkable" and could cost the conservatives the next election.
6:08 am
theink the ink is barely dry, but concerns are emerging. 0f the ink is barely dry, but concerns are emerging. of those concerns were raised by the foreign secretary at chequers on friday. we believe that he was hostile to the plan, he said it could lead to the uk becoming a state and using colourful language he is known for, warns that defending it was akin to polishing a church. downing says it would recognise that he was openly hostile. the comments were meant to be humourous and that he paid tribute to the prime minister after dinner. clearly, mrjohnson is not the only one with concern. we have seen a document being circulated among members of the probe regs as european research group. it is not a position paper, it isjust a briefing. it were that under the plans, the uk could be left with a worst of all worlds blackhole brexit. elsewhere, the former conservative leader iain duncan
6:09 am
smith is warning in the papers that the brexit on the table might not be a cce pta ble the brexit on the table might not be acceptable to conservative mps, but perhaps more importantly, to voters. the prime minister insists that what she is offering is respecting the result of the referendum. she says that the deal is good for the country. but clearly, some of her backbenchers need to be convinced she will address them tomorrow. an operation has begun to rescue the 12 young footballers who've been trapped with their coach in a cave in northern thailand for more than two weeks. the thai authorities decided to act amid forecasts of more heavy rain, which could further flood the underground complex. let's get more detail now from sophie long who is in tham luang for us this morning. talk to us about the complexity of this rescue mission and is relatively narrow window that they have to pull this off. we had it
6:10 am
confirmed in the last hour that the rescue operation is operating —— under way. it began an hour or so ago. it will take at least i! under way. it began an hour or so ago. it will take at least 11 hours to get each boy out of the cave. it isa to get each boy out of the cave. it is a very complex cave system, they are deep inside the cave, four kilometres inside. they have done their best to prepare for this highly dangerous operation. they have been pumping out millions and millions of litres of water from the cave system. they say the water levels are cave system. they say the water levels a re now cave system. they say the water levels are now at the lowest they have been a 10—day. but as you can see it is already raining and it will get much harder. they don't wa nt will get much harder. they don't want is for water to come gushing down the mountainside and really feel the cave again. they have built dams to prevent that from happening, but they always said this was a war against the weather and they need to move as quickly as possible. they say conditions will not get any better, the boys are fit and their hearts are strong and determined. we will talk you throughout the morning. a wiltshire police officer
6:11 am
who was tested for possible exposure to the nerve agent, novichok, has now been released from hospital. the officer was cleared of any contamination. a man and woman are still critically ill after handling a contaminated item, which police are still searching for. the substance was used to attack a former russian spy and his daughter in salisbury four months ago. torrential rain in western japan has left 51 people dead and another 50 missing. more than 4.5 million people have been told to evacuate their homes in the face of floods and landslides. japan‘s prime minister says emergency services are in a race against time to try and save people caught up in some of the devastating flooding. i know you have been waiting for this for quite some time. forget the football. the world wife—carrying championship, now in its 23rd year, attracted thousands of visitors to finland this weekend. 53 men slung their wives or partners over their shoulders and hurtled off on an hour—long race.
6:12 am
it is quite gruelling, isn't it? a lithuanian couple won the competition, which involved wading through a pool and navigating an obstacle course. there are some that can change the rules around. we gave the competition are well a few years ago. our very own steph and mike gave the uk competition a whirl a few years ago to raise money for comic relief. however, they decided to break with tradition and make sporting history in the process — with the woman carrying the man! they made sporting history in the process. she is a tough life. —— lass. it was raining as well. a bit of sport happening, the newspapers have picked up on that. they have noticed. sweden zero, england two.
6:13 am
that was the result of yesterday afternoon. harry maguire, harry kane. you can see, look at the affection between them. what a way to put some demons to bed. following politics and foreign affairs, one image of the two word. england's dreaming. and we will not apologise the celebrating england winning the quarter—final, and we will not apologise for our sartorial choices. i why red and white dress yesterday, and have noted you have donned the waistcoat. i couldn't resist the waistcoat. i couldn't resist the waistcoat. think it is a legal obligation. you read the star, they have a cutout waistcoat. if you do wa nt have a cutout waistcoat. if you do want that. just in case you haven't got the cloth one. yesterday,
6:14 am
brexit, we have a decisive moment in brexit, we have a decisive moment in brexit, and there was a big push from downing street to the press that there was unity in the cabinet. what do you make of it? it was inevitable at some stage that she would hear perhaps from mr johnson or on of the other brexiteers sounding off a little at their frustrations on what they see it isa their frustrations on what they see it is a watering down of a true brexit. i wonder if it will come into the papers or they might conclude there is just a spot of football around. boris johnson couldn't resist it. also in the sunday telegraph, a massive picture of the celebrating england footballers. another piece involving bit euro sceptic with fearful of the direction the prime minister is facing. this is the observer. then we go to this. that is what
6:15 am
that sharing was. we are in the semifinals for the first time in 28 yea rs. we semifinals for the first time in 28 years. we will talk about this a lot this morning. it is talk to ben and ta ke this morning. it is talk to ben and take a look at this weather. a lovely time chip —— tone to reflect how many england fans are feeling this morning. it feels like quite a summer. sport wise as well. as far as the weather goes, there is more of the same to come. this is how it looked to a weather watcher who was out early this morning, another hot day today. for most of us, some sunshine. i will show you the satellite picture. if you look closely, some extra cloud is drifting into north—western parts of the british isles. the extra clout is associated with the
6:16 am
cold front without much rain that it will eventually introduce some slightly cooler air. you can see where we have the extra cloud cringing into northern ireland. there is the odd it of drizzle. in the south, more sunshine and we keep hold of more of the sunshine as we go through the day. here is the forecast at three o'clock this afternoon. a lot of cloud around the north—west of scotland and the odd brute of drizzle. eastern scotland brighter. always some cloud floating around northern ireland with sunny spells. we will have the best of the sunshine in england and wales. 3! perhaps. here is how we are expecting things this afternoon at silverstone. the british grand prix. temperatures well up into the high 20s and i suspect we could hit around 30 degrees. through this evening and overnight, we could have extra cloud over scotland. it will
6:17 am
start to topple its way over eastern scotla nd start to topple its way over eastern scotland and down into north—eastern england. for most of us, we keep hold of clear skies and it will be yet another warm and muggy night. and the cold front is drifting its way across eastern scotland and north—east england. behind it, we get into the slightly cooler air and eventually we will drag it southwards across all parts of the country. during tomorrow, a lot of cloud over north—east scotland and england and we take the cloud further west as the day wears on. the best of the sunshine in be around southern and south—western areas. deal hot but notice the lighter colours showing their hands. around 17 degrees in newcastle. not farfrom 30. around 17 degrees in newcastle. not far from 30. through the week, cooler in the middle but largely dry
6:18 am
and the temperatures will start to climb again as we head to the end of the week. no huge changes on the horizon. this exceptional summer goes on. the british grand prix is going on as well. we'll bring you the headlines at 6:30. time now tojoin ben brown and mark kermode for this week's film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so, mark, what do we have this week? interesting week. we have mary shelley. basically, a film about the creation of frankenstein. the first purge which is the prequel to the long—running series, i know you are a huge fan. and swimming with men.
6:19 am
so, mary shelley — tell us about that. my son was doing the book for his a—level. so, basically, it is a story about mary shelley's life, about the creation of frankenstein, one of the greatest books of all time. it is always very difficult that the inevitable thing will be that it is not as good as the brilliant work of art. it is not without merit. it is directed by haifaa al—mansour, and elle fanning is the young writer. her mother has passed away, so she is haunted by her death. she falls in with shelley who is reckless and beautiful. there is almost a hint of twilight, the film, about their relationship. they forge a new relationship, of which her father completely disapproves, but as she discovers, no matter how creative and brilliant years,
6:20 am
the world isn't necessarily ready for a tale like frankenstein, particularly not by a female author, because publishers don't think that is what women should be writing about. 500 copies will be printed. it will be published anonymously, provided you write the introduction. of course. i would be delighted. so everyone will think you wrote it. provided it is published, what does it matter? what does it matter? how is it possible that you still don't understand? you want me to abandon my claim to it, because my gender might spoil it? i never said that! you don't have two! you never think about the consequences of your actions!
6:21 am
you bear as much responsible at i do. i am not a grand architect of our misery, mary. you bear the responsibility, i bear the responsibility of ever believing in you! as you can see, committed performances. i like what the film is trying to do. 0ccasionally, it is a little too literal. all the life events that happened to mary, that we then sort of see, that is foreshadowing events in frankenstein. at one point she goes to an exhibition, where you see a dead frog being sparked with electricity, and it is always a reaction shot of her noticing! but the problem is that it does not have the cinematic spark that it should have. again, with something like frankenstein, that is kind of difficult. it has had a rough time with the critics, rather unfairly. it is solid, and inventive. it takes liberties, but that is perfectly fine.
6:22 am
what movie like this doesn't? but, the main thing is, i wish that it would jump off the screen a little bit more, as it is, it seems solid and interesting, with committed performances, but just lacked that crucial spark of life, no pun intended! but there was a pun! you got it in anyway. all right, the first purge. you have already suggested that i am not the target demographic for this one. the thing about the purge movies as they become more successful than anybody thinks. now we have got to the people. they have come to the trump era social political setting. this is about the the first purge being set up. it is an experiment in lawlessness. one evening of law not applying, to see if the nation can come to terms with its demons. they are doing it in an era of poor african—americans who they imagine will turn on each other, and when they don't, other forces are sent. there is a nice socio—political underpinning.
6:23 am
it is not the most inventive, and it is not as cutting as get out which is really sharp. that film is brilliant. no one is more surprised than me, that this one in the series that they have got some sort of interesting... it is fine. i saw it in a packed cinema. it played very well with them. they oohed and ahhed in all right places. swimming with men. i have heard described as full monty in speedos. the pool monty. a better pun. rob brydon is a middle—aged man who meets a group of men who are involved in a synchronised swimming team.
6:24 am
they call it swim club. in fact, what they are doing, is they are sort of using it as a way to get in touch with their emotions. inevitably, because it is a film, a competition comes into view, and the next thing is they have to get quite good. here is a clip. you landed on my head. distribution of the stack is wrong. it has got to be equal, which means that we have got to take it and wait into consideration. meaning? you can't be next to him, because he needs of the next somebody less fat. you calling me fat? arty, you calling me fat? you could do with losing a little bit... it is like trying to wrestle with a yak, you could do with a trip to the barbers. fatboy slim.
6:25 am
guys, guys! let's do it again. we have got to practice. i heard rob brydon talk about this, and they didn't use any doubles. they did all these swimming themselves. spent a lot of time in the pool. when it works the best, it is when it is doing its of men who sort of lost the plot, finding something that kind of help them reconnect. i like all of that stuff. the stuff about the competition, i am less interested in. but there is a real story from behind those that doesn't involve the competition, although this is a very sycophantic version. nicely tell in the interaction between the guys, all of whom are variously confused about who they are and what
6:26 am
they are meant to be. i did laugh, pretty much solidly all the way through. it is not huge belly laughs, but it is kind of... it makes you chuckle, and you like the characters. it is a very good ensemble cast. rupert graves. these are people who can do something in their sleep. i went in quite cynically, because it seems they had that it is the full monty references, you immediately start to... i thought it was oddly charming, and i'm surprised to think that. and a very british sort of film. very british. but everybody said that about the full monty. but it is cute. now, best out? leave no trace. if this is not in my list at the end of the year, i will be surprised. it is a about a father and daughter living off the grid. they are found by the social services and forced to read to integrate. it is brilliant by debra granik.
6:27 am
fantastic performance by tomasson mckenzie as the young girl. she is brilliant. the story is not told through dialogue. it is told through action and through looking, and through... cinema is an audiovisual medium, and often people think that people should stand up and explain the plot. at no point in leave no trace, does anybody say, is the thing i've included interesting... itjust happens. it was a note—perfect film. it did not put a single foot wrong, and everyone i know that has seen it absolutely loves it. ijust hope that more people do see it, because it is a limited release. and best dvd. you were never really here. lynne ramsay is a genius. this is a hit man picture, but it is more than this. an existential thriller about somebody said out to retrieve a lost child. like all of lynne ramsay's stuff, you just tremble with amazement
6:28 am
at the film—making. it is brilliant to be able to see this kind of film—making in a moment when it is so difficult to make these kinds of movies. i think, you were never really here is really wonderful, and it is hard to describe in words. you have got to see it, and i would recommend everyone sees it. even you can't describe it in words? other than saying, two thumbs up. thank you for being with us. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello.
6:29 am
this is breakfast with naga munchetty and chris mason. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. england's preparing for the world cup semifinals after beating sweden yesterday. the 2—0 victory sent fans into raptures and left the team only one match away from their first appearance in a world cup final since 1966. their semifinal opponents will be croatia, who knocked out the hosts, russia, in a penalty shoot—out last night. more than an hour after the match finished, england manager gareth southgate went on to the pitch to thank the england fans who had stayed behind in the stadium to applaud the players. he was seen conducting his choir as they chanted their admiration for him and the players who could well go down in english football history. singing
6:30 am

6:31 am
the officer was cleared of any contamination. a man and woman are still critically ill after handling a contaminated item which police are still searching for. the substance was used to attack a former russian spy and his daughter in salisbury four months ago. donald trump's visit to the uk this week will put "unquestionable pressure" on forces that's according to the police federation. the american president will spend time in london and windsor during the 2—day working visit. thousands are expected to protest and forces from across the country have been asked to send officers to assist. the home office said other forces can be "recompensed by the hosting force." torrential rain in western japan has left 51 people dead and another 50 missing. more than 4.5 million people have been told to evacuate their homes in the face of floods and landslides. japan's prime minister says emergency services are in a race against time to try to save people caught up in some of the devastating flooding.
6:32 am
what should we talk about now? there is nothing really around. we in a celebratory mood? brilliant. it wasn't a dream? no. celebratory mood? brilliant. it wasn'ta dream? no. how celebratory mood? brilliant. it wasn't a dream? no. how many times did you pinch yourself? until yesterday, i couldn't quite allow myself to get excited. it is all this a bit premature? now, of course, england fans are hoping the tea m course, england fans are hoping the team can progress further. but getting to the semifinals is an achievement. a huge generation of people have never been in this position before. they had never seen england in a semi—final. position before. they had never seen england in a semi-final. we are seeing a lot of younger people who will not necessarily go to the football, this one has managed to engage them in a way that it hasn't
6:33 am
happened decades. we will see some of the social media and bits and pieces from inside the camp in a minute. but you were not dreaming. let's go straight to russia and find out how things are going. england have ripped turn to their straining —— of attached to their training base. half our sports correspondant, david 0rnstein, is at the england is at the england training base in repino. england got back to their hotel at 1:30 a.m.. today will be about arresting those weary bodies, recovering inside the team hotel with no training session, no media duties. the focus is switching straight to that crucial semi—final coming up on wednesday. that's look back at what happened yesterday. england took the lead through harry maguire, his first international goal. 0ne maguire, his first international goal. one of the breakthrough stars of this world cup. another set piece golf england, eight in the tournament. nobody has scored more. that is such an weapon for england
6:34 am
and the celebrations were fantastic. pickford made a crucial save england shortly after half—time to restore, to maintain the lead. afterwards, dele alli joined the party after a disappointing world cup so far. he has not been in great form. he had fitness issues, ahead of it, he made it 2-0. fitness issues, ahead of it, he made it 2—0. cue the wild celebrations. let's hear what southgate had to say about the team and the whole squad. i can't speak highly enough of the whole squad in the whole group of staff, because it is so united, and their level of work has been great, their level of work has been great, their commitment to each other, you don't get through with just 11 players, and some of the guys haven't had a lot of time on the pitch, but their mentality, top people. so england train properly tomorrow,
6:35 am
then on tuesday morning they will train once more before flying over to moscow ahead of that match. it is a 7pm kick off uk time on wednesday across croatia who are ranked less than them. the first england world cup semifinals since 1990. the first final since 1966. thank you very much indeed. loads reaction from the players on social media. jessie lingard has been very active online the world cup. after the colombia would win, he posted a picture saying he will be staying in russia while longer. then he share this video saying, because they said i am not coming home, she came here. and there she is, surprisingly enough towards. lovely stuff. it all got a bit much for one former england international. have a listen to this reaction from chris waddle who was speaking to kelly cates on bbc radio 5 live. how does it feel to watch another
6:36 am
england squad reached that stage? how does it feel to watch another england squad reached that stage7m is unbelievable. i couldn't believe ...itis is unbelievable. i couldn't believe it is quite emotional. do you feel it that much? we will come back to you. we will let you settle down, let you gather your thoughts. gone... he had gone. standing between england and a place in the world cup final is croatia after they knocked out hosts russia on penalties. it finished 2—2 after extra time in sochi with russia grabbing a late equaliser. both teams had already won a penalty shoot—out to reach this stage, but fedor smolov missed the first for russia, meaning they were relying on croatia doing the same. they missed one more each, so it was left to barcelona's ivan rakitic to send them through to the semifinal against england on wednesday. away from the football. not such good news for britain's kyle edmund, though. he's been knocked out
6:37 am
of wimbledon by novak djokovic. our sports correspondent joe wilson was watching. just as footballers returned to their changing room in russia, carl edmonds came out to play at wimbledon. centre court knew the football school. a while, edmund was inspired by his big occasion. at the top of the screen on the way to the first set. novak djokovic looked a little lost. at the former champion rediscovered himself to win the second set 6—3. the match had turned. edmund lost the third, 6—2, making mistakes. this was greeted by jaco beach. he then met with the crowd and the umpire, but overpowered edman 6—4 in the fourth set. this win took everything. centre court will be maintained and come back to life in the second week when we have jaco beach, i, serena and so much in between. as for
6:38 am
british interests, well, there is the double. right now, centre court feels a little empty without carl edmonds. elsewhere at wimbledon, rafael nadal is through. will the 2—time wimbledon champion is into the last 16 after a comfortable victory over australia's alex de minaur. he'll play italy's fabio fognini or the czechjiri vesely in the next round. the latest big name to fall in the women's draw is world number one and top seed simona halep. the french open champion was beaten by taiwan's hsieh su—wei in an epic third—round match. lewis hamilton will start this afternoon's british grand prix in pole position, chasing a record sixth win at silverstone. he logged a lap record on his final run in qualifying to start in front of his main championship rival, sebastian vettel. he said he wanted to get the country off to a good start as qualifying finished just as the football started! chris froome will be hoping for a less eventful second day at the tour de france after a crash has left him a minute off the pace.
6:39 am
he went down a grass bank on the opening stage as colombia's fernando gaviria won the stage. today's route into la roche—sur—yon should be another one for the sprinters. england's women's cricketers thrashed new zealand to win their opening one—day international. amyjones and captain heather knight each made 63 at headlingley before new zealand were bowled out for just 148 runs. the second game of the 3—match series is at derby on tuesday. a good day to england. we saw some pictures of wild celebrations, beer are being thrown everywhere. a lot of beer wasted in those moments. some people deciding that clothes were not needed. how did you celebrate? i can't still

6:45 am
a weather watcher up early in cornwall top hot, dry weatherfor many. some strong sunshine. i will show you the satellite picture. you can see extra cloud creeping into northern and western parts of the country and that is associated with a cold weather front, country and that is associated with a cold weatherfront, quite country and that is associated with a cold weather front, quite weak. behind it, we get into some slightly cooler air which was spreading to all areas in the next few days. then we have more cloud into northern scotla nd we have more cloud into northern scotland and a bit into northern ireland. the further south you are, more in the way of sunshine and that will last all day long. this is for o'clock in the afternoon. maybe the odd spot of drizzle. and each of patchy cloud and sunny spells and could be the odd isolated shower in northern england. further south, temperatures towards the south—east could be up to 32 degrees. at
6:46 am
silverstone today, is that good spells of sunshine. i suspect we might get close to 30. it will be a fine evening to enjoy for most but the cloud across northern scotland will filter down to the east coast. it will thicken up through the night and there could be the odd spot of drizzle. another very warm and muggy night, 12— 17 degrees. high pressure not far away. still a lot of dry weather around but the frontal system will be sliding its way down the coast and the colours are turning a bit lighter. slightly cooler weather which will be spreading its way southwards. we start tomorrow morning with a lot of cloud. it is producing the odd spot of drizzle. we take the cloud a bit further west as the day wears on
6:47 am
that they could still be some good spells of sunshine. perhaps northern ireland. could get close to 30 degrees and the south. the cooler weather will spread further south through the next couple of days. no big changes. still largely dry. still plenty of sunshine. thanks, ben. it looks fabulous. we will checkin ben. it looks fabulous. we will check in with you later. it looked like a dreamland moment. we'll bring you the headlines at 7:00. but first, the travel show goes in search of the perfect pizza. this week on the travel show, we're in my hometown of london. i will be finding out how meat—free has gone mainstream. this is good, a tour bus around london eating foods that will help us live forever. also coming up on this week's show, we are heading underground to meet a man with a passion for public art in new york.
6:48 am
and we eat more than is good for us in naples, as we join the judging panel in search of the world's most perfect pizza. slice number seven. mario has had over 40 slices! let's kick off in london, where we are looking at the latest food trend to sweep the united kingdom. veganism. it's changed. with hundreds of dishes to choose from, people flock to vegan nights in fashionable shoreditch in the east of the city. i have only been vegan for maybe six months, and even compared to where i started, the amount of vegan abundance of food in supermarkets is crazy. vegan in london in 2018 is really, really
6:49 am
easy now. there are so many cool places to eat, you can getjunk food, you can get healthy food, you can eat anywhere. it's super easy. the vegan market is growing, it's incredible. it's so exciting, what's happening. according to the vegan society, the number of vegans in the uk went up by 350% in 10 years, and that was before the huge trend in the last two years kicked in. it's particularly here in london where lots of the change has been happening. and what could be more british than a classic fish and chips supper? danny sutton's chip shop is about as traditional as a chippie gets. well, it smells like a classic fish and chips shop. i can smell the vinegar aromas and the chips and the fish. there you go. grilled fish. pies. saveloy. even here, danny has come up
6:50 am
with a vegans answer to the traditional fish and chips. he uses marinated banana blossom. of all the things that i could think of that would substitute forfish, a banana plant, or banana leaf, is the last thing that would come to my mind. how did you come up with that? well, i was fishing one day, in the sea, and in my lunchbox... how did i come up with it? ijust did lots of research, and i found that it is about the texture more than anything else. it had the right texture. so with a little seasoning going on, we could get close to the flavour and texture of the fish. so, time for a lesson from the master. first, stripping the banana blossom. nothing there! one more. that said, perfect. now, start in the centre. whittle it down and try to slice it straight down the middle. yes, of course.
6:51 am
straight down there. exactly. you've got it. see, i can smell it, actually. yeah, there is a slight banana tinge. and the secret is all in the marinade. going to use some sapphire grass. where is this from? from essex from the estuary. seriously? a bit of essex. followed by some spices to bring out that sea flavour. pour some water over the top, give it a mix. we boil it for 15 minutes, it goes into the marinade overnight, then it comes out and goes on there to dry. that's basically it, before we batter it. what we've all been waiting for. your vegan fish and chips. do you know what?
6:52 am
if i had not gone through all of the stuff of making it with you and you haven't told me this was vegan, i would think that is proper fish. there you go. smells like it, as well. we have tricked you with your eyes, let's see if we can trick you with your tongue. there we go, get some of this on there. imagine you're by the seaside. imagine you're in southend. that's good. i wasn't expecting that. the texture is definitely there. do you know what? you don't have to worry about any bones. a no bone guarantee. i can't give you that with the cod or the haddock.
6:53 am
cheers. cheers, enjoy. to finish, today we are off to naples in the south of italy. this historic city claims to be the birthplace of pizza and for ten days every year, chefs from all over the world head there to take part in a competition to find the world ‘s best slice. and this year, the travel show‘s jo whalley was asked to be one of the judging panel. has she bitten off more than she can chew? i'm about to do a masterclass with some of the best pizza makers in all of naples. i am a little apprehensive. davide is a world champion pizza maker. to be a true neapolitan pizza,
6:54 am
the dough needs to be prepared in a special way. and here at the festival, tourists can give it a go. scoop and press. the first step is shaping the dough into balls. seamless. the dough was left for at least six hours to leaven and then is pressed out by hand. some pizzaiuolos spin the dough in the air to stretch and oxygenate it. and the festival is a chance for these masters to show off their skills. it is really quite tricky. there is not much of a spin. with our pizza bases sorted, we spiral on tomato sauce and add mozzarella and basil. the margherita pizza is the symbol of naples, invented in 1889 in honour of queen margherita. the colours represent the italian flag. now we are making pizza! finally, we bake it.
6:55 am
it is beautiful. that is a good—looking pizza. that is so good. it was worth me taking three hours to make it. this is emotion. now that i fully appreciate exactly what it takes to make a proper neapolitan margherita pizza, i am told that tomorrow i can join the judging panel of the caputo cup, the pizza world championships. pizza chefs from all over the world have travelled here and are nervously waiting to cook for thejudges. this is the big competition. who has the best margherita pizza. i have my secret voting sheet here. this is my voting form. i have the name of the chef, my name and the different categories of marks that i can give each pizza.
6:56 am
500 is the best, ten is the worst. my fellowjudge mario shows me how to inspect all aspects of the slice to check the crust is bouncy and i can taste all distinct ingredients. there are nine categories of pizza tojudge and it is a gruelling pace. oh, gosh. i have to eat speed eat because i am being too slow with my marking. some of thejudges have been here tasting for hours. they are only swapped out when they are too full to continue. so i am on slice number seven. mario has had over 40 slices. this is 14. still going strong. i have been here for
6:57 am
just over three hours. there are so many people queued up outside waiting to cook for us. when will it end? so i have had 38 slices of pizza and i have just seen that they have started to clear off the tables. so the end of be in sight. then we get word that the final pizza is being sliced. number 52. the last one. it is an unusual flavour. kind of mustardy. i kind of like it. go out with a bang. while the votes are being counted, the award for pizza acrobatics is being judged.
6:58 am
it is seriously skilful. the award ceremony goes on into the night and there are winners from across the globe. the organisers here hope to take the napoli pizza village festival to cities like london and new york and spread the message around the world that neapolitan pizza is notjust food, it is a way of life. jo reporting there from naples. and something tells me she will not be ordering takeaway any time soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with chris mason and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: they did it! england's footballers celebrate after making it through to their first world cup semifinal for nearly 30 years. cheering at home, there were wild celebrations as millions watched
