supplies to cope? big targets announced today, i'll see if they can be met. it's women's quarter—finals day here at wimbledon, and with the top ten seeds all knocked out, is serena williams on course for an incredible comeback title? yesterday was nearly 31 at wimbledon. today it's more likely to be 24. and dry. for much of the uk, more cloud around, still sunny spells but cooler. more later. it's tuesday the 10th ofjuly. i'll have a full news round—up in just a moment but first, our main story is the turmoil in theresa may's top team after a series of high—profile ministerial resignations over her brexit plan. i'm in westminster, where, later this morning, the prime minister will meet a cabinet that looks very different from just twenty—four hours ago, following the shock departure of the foreign secretary boris johnson, hard on the heels of the brexit secretary david davis.

mrs may was here doing the rounds in the commons and with her own mps, saying they needed to back her or face the proposition of a jeremy corbyn government. our poltical correspondent, alex forsyth, reports. leaving his official residence last night, the former foreign secretary. boris johnson's resignation night, the former foreign secretary. borisjohnson‘s resignation caused turmoil in westminster, the second cabinet member to quit over the government's brexit policy in less than 24 hours. and giving his reasons why, he pulled no punches. in his letter to the prime minister, he said: her response:

theresa may defended her brexit plan in the commons yesterday, saying it would deliver on the referendum result but protect the jobs and business. in the two years since the referendum, we have had a spirited national debate. but plenty in her own party are concerned, although some brexiteers do seem supportive. the prime minister has shown she is determined that she's going to get us out of the eu and at the same time she's going to meet the eu's own red lines, thereby ensuring they are going to have to take the negotiations seriously. so it's out with the old, in with the new. dominic raab, a leaver, is the new brexit secratary. jeremy hunt, who backed remain, takes over at foreign secretary. matthew hancock takes over hisjob as secretary. matthew hancock takes over his job as health secretary and

jeremy right, the former attorney general, is promoted to culture secretary. today in downing street, the new look candidate will meet for the first time. some hope it will be more united but for the prime minister, the fight to keep her party onside is far from over. it will be another interesting day down here. let's have a look at the papers. the brexit dream is dying, that's the daily telegraph, the quote from a letter to theresa may from borisjohnson. quote from a letter to theresa may from boris johnson. the quote from a letter to theresa may from borisjohnson. the front page of the mail, a bit windy this morning, you can see the themes developing. boris goes in for the kill. those are some of the quotes we will look at this morning. this is the front page of the guardian, may loses johnson but faces down brexit rebels for now. our political correspondent, leila nathoo, is here. let's talk about the issue, around

the prime minister herself. yesterday there were the question marks about whether she would survive into today. what is the landscape now? she did survive the day, she's imposed, she has reshuffled her cabinet, she survived those two resignations. there wasn't a mass walkout in her cabinet, she hung on to other brexiteers around the top table. she's also pleased the remain wing of her party by that strategy agreed at chequers last week, that strategy she is determined to press on with. there were no immediate moves last night when backbenchers met to oust her, there wasn't the requisite number of signatures to get that vote of no—confidence in her, 48 is the magic number and that hasn't been reached. that doesn't mean boris johnson's words hasn't been reached. that doesn't mean borisjohnson's words will not be ringing in her ears. the brexit dean is dying, talking about a semi—brexit, the heading for a colony status in her resignation letter she received —— dream. that's

the view of a large chunk of backbenchers that have reacted with alarm to the plan agreed at chequers last week. they are determined to make the prime minister change course on this strategy. they say they are focusing on a change of policy for now and not a change of leader. the prime minister hangs on, she is imposed, sticking to her guns on this strategy but she's far from being out of the woods. we saw how the papers are playing on the words of that stinging letter from borisjohnson, the words of that stinging letter from boris johnson, he the words of that stinging letter from borisjohnson, he did not hold back. you talked about how over the weekend he found he couldn't say the words, they were going to stick in his throat as he addressed the issue over what had been agreed on friday. this has been a theme throughout theresa may's leadership, trying to keep the different camps in her cabinet onside to marry their different views of brexit. on friday she had to swing one way or the other hand she chose the side that wasn't to the taste of the brexiteers. she managed to get the

agreement for around 48 hours, over the weekend clearly david davis and borisjohnson said they couldn't sign up to this. david davis saying i'm the one responsible and i will be the one presenting it, how can i present it if i don't believe in it? borisjohnson, using present it if i don't believe in it? boris johnson, using his characteristically colourful language in his resignation letter. clearly something dividing her cabinet. now there's a new team in place. the topjobs held by former remainers now, the balance there previously in the cabinet has been slightly shifted. theresa may will hope she gets the support for this policy to take to brussels, where the difficult negotiations will begin. leila, thank you very much, you will be with us through the morning. we are live in westminster through the morning. later the new look cabinet will be meeting. now back to louise with the rest of the day's news. in other news this morning...

rescuers in thailand have begun what they hope will be a third and final operation to free the remaining four teenage boys and their football coach who are trapped in a flooded cave system. so far eight boys have been brought to safety, that's since becoming cut off by rising water more than two weeks ago. they're said to be in good health. we will get the very latest from thailand on that in the next few minutes on bbc breakfast. donald trump has nominated a former adviser to ex—president george w bush as his pick for the us supreme court. in a televised announcement, the president called brett kavanaugh one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. the court's rulings influence many contentious issues in american politics such as abortion, the death penalty, voter rights and immigration policy. thousands of prisoners will be able to make telephone calls from their cells under plans announced by the government. the phones will be installed in 20 prisons as part of a drive to improve safety in jails across england and wales and stem the trade in illicit mobiles. oakwood prison in wolverhampton already permits calls from cells,

its director welcomed the announcement. anything that enhances the contact between a prisoner and his family or his loved ones is vital. i've worked in prison wills where telephony has been available on the landings, it creates a queueing system, prisoners can't get in contact with their loved ones at the right time of day. so when it's in a cell they have privacy and have the ability to have lengthy conversations, make family decisions and feel like part of the family. the introduction of extra services on eight different railway lines has been delayed because of the chaos caused by timetable changes earlier this year. the chairman of network rail, sir peter hendy, said the industry had scaled back its ambitions after what he called recent painful lessons. tom burridge reports. feel familiar? train travel across britain is all

too often a crowded affair. so plans we re too often a crowded affair. so plans were in the pipeline for new timetables with many more trains from december. but this was the scene in may, thousands of trains we re scene in may, thousands of trains were cancelled or delayed when northern and go via thameslink considerably changed their timetables and passengers were left stranded. cancellations all the time, just waiting on the platform probably for, like, 30 minutes and all of a sudden theyjust cancel it. so now timetable changes planned for much of the network in december have been postponed. in fact, all of these operators will make no change in december at all. passengers in other places will see minor changes. the body which represents rail companies say reliability must come first. but in places like leeds, there's already been criticism that passengers and local politicians haven't been consulted. tom burridge, bbc news. hundreds of england's fans are

flying to moscow ahead of the world cup semi—final tomorrow against croatia. british airways has had to provide larger planes to meet the increased demand to the russian capital. they say searches for tickets to russia went up 2000% after england won their quarter—final against sweden on saturday. i know someone who isn't flying out to russia, she can tell us what's going on there and at wimbledon. good morning. i can tell you one important thing carol mentioned in the headline, it's a bit chilly! we we re the headline, it's a bit chilly! we were talking about sunshine but it isa were talking about sunshine but it is a bit chilly and a bit windy. we look at what's happening through this wimbledon story, all of the top ten women's seeds are out of the competition so guess who is the favourite to lift the trophy on sunday? only serena williams. it would be her 24th grand slam if it happens. she made it throught to the quarter—finals

without dropping a set, evgeniya rodina the latest player to come up short against her. williams faces camila giorgi today. rafa nadal has reached his first quarter—final here since 2011, beating jiri vesely. nadal is still on track to meet roger federer in sunday's final. it's the first of the world cup semi—finals today, with france playing belgium, we're looking forward to seeing two of the tournament's biggest stars coming up against eachother, in kylian mbappe and kevin de bruyne. britain's geraint thomas is up to third in the tour de france after team sky were second fastest in yesterday's team time trial. he's three seconds off the lead, with team—mate and reigning champion chris froome is just under a minute back. we heard yesterday there is no plans to show any world cup final here evenif to show any world cup final here even if england made it to the world cup final. that's on the big screens. we heard the all england clu b screens. we heard the all england club will let people check their mobile phones on court for the score, which i think is quite unusualfor them, score, which i think is quite unusual for them, they won't be

stopped from constantly checking their mobile phones. i will be looking for people with their phone and a secretly applied listening to the commentary on the radio. -- secretly applied. i don't think that that will be allowed, will it? —— secretly applied. good morning. you're watching bbc news the. —— you're watching bbc news breakfast. divers in northern thailand are restarting a high—risk rescue operation to free the last five members of a group who became trapped in a vast cave system last month. eight boys have been brought out of the caves over the past two days. fergus walsh has been looking into the challenges involved. the operation to rescue the remaining boys and their coach from deep beneath this mountain has been risky, complex and daring. they've been stranded about 2.5 miles from the entrance of the tham luang cave system. getting them out one by one involves them walking, waiting, crawling, and, for long periods,

diving through murky, muddy water. there are narrow passages, sharp inclines and descents. two divers accompany each boy. the youngsters, aged 11 to 16, are given full face masks and air tanks and so they can breathe normally. there is a guide rope to help them through the tunnel and replacement air tanks at key points. , now where the tunnels are appointed... attached to the diver, hugged underneath their body. but there are pinch points. one whole narrows to around 15 inches, so they have to squeeze through on their own with their air tank being carried on the head. one diver in front, the other behind. it's a perilous operation. just how dangerous was underlined last week when this former thai navy seal died from lack ofair former thai navy seal died from lack of air while travelling through the flooded chambers. but the thai authorities say the threat of monsoon rains causing further

flooding made this rescue essential. the whole exhausting journey takes several hours. once the boys emerge, they're given a rapid physical check. there are fears, though, that some may have dangerous lung infections. longer term, some may have dangerous lung infections. longerterm, it's the psychological impact which is a key concern. helping these children, some not yet teenagers, to come to terms with the trauma of their terrifying ordeal. so many people involved in trying to get them out. our correspondent sophie long is at the cave entrance. sophie, it seems to be a race against time and a race against the weather. hopefully they have started their last rescue operation to get the remaining people out. we have that confirmation, the divers entered the cave at just after ten confirmation, the divers entered the

cave atjust after ten o'clock, two hours ago. they will begin their perilous journey. hours ago. they will begin their perilousjourney. hopefully hours ago. they will begin their perilous journey. hopefully the third and final day of this operation, eight of their teammates already safely made it through, confident in the knowledge that they can as well. certainly people around the world willing them on. eight of their teammates all in hospital. we had good words on them. they seem to be clearing up. one of the boys in the second group had a slow heartrate but that seems to have normalised. we are told they are eating normal food. they normalised. we are told they are eating normalfood. they are normalised. we are told they are eating normal food. they are eating soft, digestible food. u nfortu nately, soft, digestible food. unfortunately, they haven't been able to see their parents yet. only through a glass screen. they won't be allowed in the same room. even

then, they will be wearing protective clothing, their parents, and will have to keep a distance of two metres. terribly difficult to think about the emotional rollercoasters and still, they won't be able to hide their children. the other bad news is that thief made the offer that they would be able to go to the world cup final. doctors wa nt to go to the world cup final. doctors want to keep them in hospitalfor seven days. when asked by journalists if could go, he chuckled and said they would be watching it on television. the health of the boysis on television. the health of the boys is paramount on everybody‘s mines. we hope to see more ambulances coming out and carrying the final football players along with the coach later today. thank you very much, sophie. live with the update from thailand. i can tell you, it's a little bit chillier than it has been out and about this morning. carol is showing signs because she has a coat on. it is really fresh and europe

20s. maybe 22 or 23. as we had through the evening and overnight, still a fair bit of clout around. it springs back to the rest. heavy rain across western scotland and parts of northern ireland. temperatures wise, a fresh night. for some of us, a little bit lower than that. a brighter day, a bit more sunshine. the risk of a few showers in kent, sussex and essex. temperature wise, starting to climb a degree or so. the temperatures will continue to climb and we are looking at 27. including the pennines. you could

see on shower in wales. equally, quite a lot of dry weather. thing is starting to change slightly but having said that even into the weekend. it's nice to have the cooler nights. less than a month ago, the world cup began in russia, with many pundits and fans expressing their low expectations of england's chances. what a difference a month makes. today gareth southgate's men are preparing for their semi—final and millions of three lions fans are starting to believe that football really could be coming home. breakfast'sjohn maguire has been out to take the temperature of one city gripped by football fever. what may have started as a slight bout of world cup man flu has now developed into full—blown world cup fever. this was the scene of bristol

launched a consultation into whether it should expand. it says it is the fastest growing airport in the uk, and plans to handle 38 million passengers a year, claiming that thousands of newjobs and hundreds of millions of pounds will be added to the regional economy. yet some residents living underneath the flightpath believe the consultation is meaningless. it says, can you please rank crossed the benefits of this expansion? but nowhere on here can i see a way of saying, i don't think that is a benefit, i think it is a disbenefit to people in this area. there is nothing in here that asks the straight and honest question, do you think luton airport should be further expanded? the royal air force celebrates its centenary today with a service at westminster abbey, and a huge flypast over central london. historic planes, including spitfires, will be seen alongside the newest jets. up to a hundred aircraft will take part in one of the biggest aerial displays ever seen in the capital — passing over buckingham palace at 1 o'clock.

donald trump has nominated a former adviser to ex—president george w bush as his pick for the us supreme court. in a televised announcement the president called brett kavanaugh one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. the court's rulings influence many contentious issues in american politics such as abortion, the death penalty, voter rights and immigration policy. thousands of prisoners will be able to make telephone calls from their cells under plans announced by the government. the phones will be installed in 20 prisons as part of a drive to improve safety in jails across england and wales and stem the trade in illicit mobiles. oakwood prison in wolverhampton already permits calls from cells, its director welcomed the announcement. the introduction of dozens of extra railway services has been delayed because of the chaos caused by timetable changes earlier this year.

the chairman of network rail, sir peter hendy, said the industry had scaled back its ambitionsafter what he called recent painful lessons. the announcement means that a regularly timetabled service will not return to some parts of the network until may next year. hundreds of england fans are flying to moscow this morning ahead of tomorrow's world cup semi—final against croatia. british airways has had to provide larger planes on routes to the russian capital to meet the increased demand. they say searches for tickets to russia went up by 2,000% after england won their quarter—final against sweden on saturday. lovely to see so many of those fans going out to russia wearing wa istcoats going out to russia wearing waistcoats obviously. sally is at wimbledon this morning on ladies quarter—finals day. it's quite chilly this morning, isn't it? good morning. it's freezing. it's

absolutely freezing. i'm sure it will get warmer when the sun breaks through later. do you know what, i've decided this week we should all bea i've decided this week we should all be a bit more serena, don't you think? yesterday serena williams posted a picture of herself serving for a match and above it she said make this week greater than last week. goodness me, if there's anyone that can do that it is serena williams, she is still here in the second week at wimbledon playing in the quarter—finals. she hasn't even dropped a set yet, she looks brilliant. evgeniya rodina the latest player to be swept aside. with none of the top 10 women's seeds left in the draw, williams is favourite to win her 24th grand slam title, and she's working hard on and off the court. it's really cool, you know? you can bea mum, it's really cool, you know? you can be a mum, you can still play tennis, you can be great, you can be in the quarter—finals of wimbledon. you can bea quarter—finals of wimbledon. you can be a working mum. if that's what you choose, stay at home mums is a

full—time job, choose, stay at home mums is a full—timejob, i know! kids are so hard! so, errm, eitherway women are in apparently the other. we hear what you say, serena! the number seven karolina pliskova, was the last of the women's top 10 seeds to fall, she was beaten in straight sets by kiki bertens. just like serena williams, roger federer is through to the quarter—finals without dropping a set. he dispatched france's adrian mannarino on centre court, and if he lifts the trophy again on sunday, he'll equal martina navratilova's record of nine singles titles. and we could have a nadal—federerfinal, with rafa nadal through to the last eight for the first time since 2011 after beating jiri vesely in straight sets. we didn't expect to see andy murray at wimbledon, but we're going to. perhaps not in the role he had imagined. he announced on social media that he'll be joining the bbc commentary team for the next two days. as he says, what could possibly go wrong?!

i tell you what, if he can win a final here, he can commentate, that's for sure! now to the world cup, and we all know what's happening tomorrow, but tonight, it's the first of the semi—finals. and here are two of the men who could play an influential role in st petersburg. 19—year old french striker kylian mbappe and manchester city and belgium star kevin de bruyne. france won the world cup in 1998, belgium have never made the final before. one man that will be keeping a close eye on the action is gareth southgate because, of course, the winners would be england's opponents if they beat croatia tomorrow night. but, as ever, they're trying not to look that far ahead. i think it's one of them things as a kid you always dream of playing in the world cup, and, you know, you dream of winning the world cup. we're not going to get too ahead of

ourselves and get carried away. the boys' feet are on the ground, eve ryo ne boys' feet are on the ground, everyone is pulling in the right way, and, as i say, we've got to prepare as we have for every other game, there's another game coming up and that's the way we've got to see it. and tonight's semi—final is of course covered on bbc one. britain's geraint thomas is up to third at the tour de france after the team time trial. he guided reigning champion chris froome and team sky to second place. thomas is three seconds behind belgium's greg van avermaet with froome just under a minute back. there we go, that's my inspiration for the day, let's all of us be a bit more like serena williams. there's your challenge. a very good idea. sally, thank you very much. see you later. the raf will celebrate its centenary in style this afternoon

with a parade on the streets of london and a huge flypast over buckingham palace. it's a day to look back at the people that have made the raf what it is today, one of the most remarkable of these stories dates back to 1944 when 76 airmen tunnelled out of a german prison camp, now better known as the great escape. our correspondent robert hall has been to speak to the last surviving escapee, richard churchill. you fell into a certain category, we re you fell into a certain category, were you going to sit and enjoy very few delights of a barbed wire prison camp all were you going to try and get out of the place and rejoin and dropped something on them? what do you recall of the months leading up to the night were you all went? i was tired from doing shifts underground, tunnelling, moving sand. i was tired and i was becoming a bit frightened of being 30 feet underground, under wet sand. a bit frightened of being 30 feet underground, underwet sand. of course you didn't have any air. dug

a whole, you had a little fat lamp, a whole, you had a little fat lamp, a bit of pyjama cord or something similar sucked up. all gave you a little bit of light. you hacked away at sand, you pushed it behind you, another took it further back and so on. so the night that's designated for the break comes along... the first delay was to get through the roots at the top of the shaft going up, the tree roots. that involved a great deal of hard work by the chap who was at the point team, it was johnny by the chap who was at the point team, it wasjohnny ball, and he was murdered for his pains. and the second major today point was when there was a breakthrough, it was

yards inside the road, as it were, not yards inside the forest. you get a tap on the shoulder, bouquet, and down you go the shaft. you know what you're going to do when you get to the bottom of the shaft. you're going to get onto a trolley and you will be hauled up the other end. can you remember getting to the shaft at the other end? when the sentry was going the other way or whatever, and you go into the woods following the stream. people were picked up by a local police and. you were taken to a holding centre? we were taken to three hoons, armed goons, who turned up particularly to pick us up. we were taken to sag in prison. you could be a quiet person, do nothing much. don't annoy the

germans. but above all, the gestapo. or you germans. but above all, the gestapo. oryou can germans. but above all, the gestapo. or you can try and do the opposite. and feel the better as a result of doing it. what an incredible story. you can catch coverage of the celebrations on bbc one with sophie raworth straight after brea kfast at 9:30am this morning. it's a bonus, you get 15 minutes more of breakfast this morning. let's return to our main story, so much going on in westminster. use news and another cabinet minister goes. charlie is there with the fallout from the high—profile resignations yesterday. a dramatic morning yesterday, 30 hours we have had. it's worth

thinking about what's happened. two really significant government figures leave. we of course had david davis, midnight on sunday night, followed yesterday afternoon by the foreign secretary, boris johnson. theresa may was here at westminster last night talking to mps, addressing the commons, and her own mps, she remains in place. some people would add in brackets to that for now. we will see. nonetheless, those stinging words from boris johnson in his letter to theresa may, worth thinking about some of those. we're leaving the uk like a colony, he says. we're going into battle with the white flags flying, the dream of brexit is dying. that's in his letter to theresa may. she and return said that she was sorry and surprised he had left. i'm joined by tom brake, the liberal democrat's brexit spokesperson. and extraordinary 30 hours or so for

the government. what do you make of what's been unfolding? -- an extraordinary. you can look at it in two ways, may be the prime minister has consolidated her position. it's clear her appointments are those who voted remain and might be more in keeping with what she proposes. on the other hand, she has very serious brexiteers out there who may be starting to organise against her position. a new brexit secratary, dominic raab, who was someone who was in favour of leaving the european union. he is, in some ways, the only key figure who had that argument during the referendum debate. dominic raab is very much the 141 replacement for david davis, very much in the same old. although interestingly, of course, dominic raab's constituency voted heavily to remain soi raab's constituency voted heavily to remain so i don't know if he will have voices in his ear trying to pull more towards the prime minister's position.

for the liberal democrats, does that change in the make up of the cabinet now. . . change in the make up of the cabinet now... does that make you feel more content, has anything changed? i think that the difficulty we've got is that of course the prime minister may now be facing challenges from the brexiteers from outside her cabinet and the real hurdle that hasn't yet been overcome is whether what she's put forward in terms of her checkers statement is going to work at all in the european union. from the liberal democrat perspective, what we are still pushing the prime minister to do is accept at the end of this then it's to bea accept at the end of this then it's to be a final say on the deal for the people because now we hear even from leavers that they're very unhappy with the deal she is trying to strike. in those circumstances i think it would be fair to put it to the people. yes, of course, all eyes go back to what was said at chequers at that meeting when an agreement was supposedly made with a plan to put forward. we understand that

white paper in itself, the big explain as to what was in it, has in itself been pushed back? and, of course, the clock is ticking all the time. the difficulty with the chequers statement certainly from a business point of view was that it had nothing to say at all about services in it, which is 80% of the uk economy. that's something business are also pushing back against. so i don't think the prime minister is out of the woods yet in terms of where she is going on her policy towards the european union. can you give us your clearest concise explainer as to the lib dems' position now relative to where the conservative administration, the new look conservatives, and labour are? where do you sit relatively to those three? on the issue of brexit, clearly we are the party that is campaigning to stay in the european union. but we can only do that if we

get the endorsement of that policy through a final say on the deal, so eve ryo ne through a final say on the deal, so everyone in the country having a vote on that. we think both the chequers statement, which still in our view has some elements of hard brexit in it, and labour party position, which is frankly hard to determine, we are clear in the position that we adopt. we clearly believe that staying in the european union for the uk from a military point of view, from a diplomatic point of view, from a diplomatic point of view, economic point of view, is the best option for us and the government's own impact assessments confirm that coming out of the european union whatever model the prime minister adults is damaging for the uk. tom, thank you for your time this morning. that's it for the moment from westminster. we will be speaking to various parties today in connection with what's been an extraordinary 24/30 hours or so at westminster. carol has the weather. it is quite blustery down here this morning. it certainly is and the blustery

wind is taking the edge of those temperatures. quite a chilly start. i'm going to show you around. temperatures. quite a chilly start. i'm going to show you aroundm ta kes you i'm going to show you aroundm takes you up to henman hill, were the sun is shining. this direction is sent to court. just above me here, this is the bridge the players would walk along to get into the clubhouse, to go down the stairs, to get on to centre court. there is another bridge here as well. this links up the clubhouse to the members lawn. we have the outside courts and straight ahead, you can see the spire of st mary ‘s church. got some sunshine and a bit of cloud around. the temperature reached 30.7dc. the forecast today for wimbledon is quite different. a

noticeable breeze. for all of us, the forecast is a cloudy one. for england and for wales, and it will just take the edge of the temperatures. nine o'clock this morning, afair temperatures. nine o'clock this morning, a fair bit of cloud across the country. as you go through the day of the northern ireland, but more cloud developed. we do still have some showery outbreaks of rain, not everyone is seeing it. the brightest skies across dumfries & galloway. there is a fair bit of cloud around this morning. some sunshine as well. into south—west england, a bit more cloud as well. as we had through the course of the day, some of the cloud will break up. some sunny spells developing. on

through the day, in northern ireland, more cloud developing. rather than blue skies, some sunny intervals. temperatures wise, 24, 25 in the south—east. across northern england, scotland and northern ireland, generally in the mid teens. for england and wales, we are looking at the high teens to the low 20s. through this evening and overnight, some rain as well across western scotland. across north—west england, down towards the south coast, temperatures generally falling to about 10— 15. here in there, a bit lower than that. that's how we start tomorrow. across western scotland and northern ireland, some of that will peter out during the course of the day but not all of it. we are at risk of a shower or two as well. in between,

more sunshine than today. having said that, there still will be some cloud around. rather than wall—to—wall blue skies. temperatures just up a notch on what we're looking at today. other time we're looking at today. other time we get to thursday, once again, looking at the northern half of the country as far south as the pennines, seeing some showers on and off through the day. further south, drier with sunny spells. we could have 27, by the time get to friday, we could well be looking at 28 and into the weekend, 29, possibly 30 once again. a little bit of respite, thank you. our population is set to grow and grow over the coming decades and today a major report into everything we build is calling for decisive action. sean's looking at this — will we get it? yes, this is the first report —— can people get the government's

intention to do something about the population increasing? yes, this is the first report about the population increasing? from the national infrastructure commission, set up to try to focus minds across government. this report is being done because of this figure — population expected to grow considerably by 2050. and that will only put lots more pressure our roads, rails, and energy supplies. it says half of all the uk's energy should come from renewable sources, wind, solar by 2030. it says every vehicle sold in 2030 should be electric alongside a charging network across the uk. and if you're putting your bins out this morning, we need to be recycling three—quarters of all plastic packing by 2030. at the moment it's just under half. how is all this going to be

implemented? if we start on energy and renewables. we are building this massive plant at hinkley. why have you changed your mind?|j massive plant at hinkley. why have you changed your mind? i changed my mind because if you look at the evidence, when you look at how the costs have rapidly come down on renewa bles costs have rapidly come down on renewables and when you look at the further technological improvements that we can expect, the smart distribution networks that we can expect in the future, and actually renewa bles expect in the future, and actually renewables become much more viable is. it means we can basically soft—pedal on the nuclear programme which is what we worker amending between now and 2025. we are

suggesting one more, we can have a review in the mid—20 20s but current expectation is, one more may be sufficient. certainly we can see a much more dominant renewables sector in the future. he think there is a chance the money we are putting into nuclear at the minute, that businesses are put into nuclear, are going to end up putting bills for customers, the amount spent on hinkley, more than would be otherwise if we had invested in otherwise if we had invested in other areas? overall, the costs are not so dissimilar. the thing about renewa bles not so dissimilar. the thing about renewables is you do have to have a much smarter distribution network which can cope with the intermittency of renewables, the strength always had a big power stations is that they provide a consistent baseload electricity. basically we see no difference between the cost, whether we go through the renewables programme. there are much fewer risks. in terms

of the capital costs, the impact on providing guarantees to nuclear and the whole long—term decommissioning of nuclear power stations. if you can make renewables work as we believe we now can, we think renewa bles believe we now can, we think renewables is the best option. a lot of people might look of this report about targets the 2030 and think, i can't wait 12 years for my commute to improve, for the rail network to improve. you used to be the boss of network rail. what is wrong? why won't the current system work? the current system is very heavily overloaded. what we've seen recently is the introduction of a new timetable and with hindsight, the timetable and with hindsight, the timetable was produced to rapidly. struggling to get the rosters sorted out. there would have been an air of optimism. it's going to be a bit difficult for a week that we will

settle down quickly. that's essentially a day to day management issue which i think people will honestly say didn't go as well as they had planned. he thinks -- the think things will be better off if it had been straightforward.” don't. network rail is fundamentally nationalised. what you get with the private sector operators as a focus on investment, new trains, we have seen massive improvements in rolling stock over the last 20 years and you get that day—to—day pressure of a private sector business trying to bring in new initiatives and find better ways of doing things. it's the balance of risk between the government and private sector operators and that's what we need to look at, if we have the right franchising. the point of this

commission is to hold government and future governments to account. is anybody at the minute and government listening to you about what should be done in 2030? yes, i think they are because in the last couple of weeks, we've been doing the rounds of government ministers, saying, this is what are going to be saying that the recommendations we are going to make and i have to say, those recommendations have been well received. they can see the benefits and at the end of the day, what is government therefore? give us a higher quality of life. these recommendations are a series of recommendations are a series of recommendations which can enable that. thank you very much. very interesting. brexit is dominating government so much of the minute. some parts of government are listening but people will see, yes. it's changed. two big significant

resignations over the last 24— 48 hours. charlie is in westminster. the final rescue operation to free the last of those young boys trapped in the cave in thailand is under way and we will get an update shortly. right now, the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. some residents living near luton airport have dismissed a consultation into its expansion as meaningless. airport bosses say thousands of newjobs and hundreds of millions of pounds will be added to the regional economy if it expands. it wants to reach 38 million passengers by 2050 more than doubling capacity. but some living underneath the flightpath believe the consulation is no more than lip service. it says, "can you please rank for us the benefits of this expansion?" but nowhere on here can i see a way of saying, i don't think that is a benefit,

i think it's a disbenefit to people in this area. there's nothing in here where it actually asks you the straight and honest question, "do you think luton airport should be further expanded ? " detectives are appealing for witnesses following a ‘noxious substance' attack and robbery in enfield. a 63—year—old man, was standing next to his car when two men sprayed him in the face on bell lane in the early hours of saturday morning. the suspects then took his keys and drove off in his silver toyota ca r. he remains in hospital with eye injuries that are believed, at this time, to be life—changing. ten of thousands of people are said to have entered a ballot to watch england's semi—final against croatia on a big screen in hyde park. it's the biggest screening of a football match in the capital in 22 years. 30,000 free tickets are upforgrabs. the ballot closes at 8:00 this morning. let's have a lok at the travel situation now. on the tubes — good service.

turning to the railway — there are some changes to southeastern metro services because of a de—railment in the grove park depot. turning to the roads — we can see on the camera there st james street is closed souhtbound from piccadilly for repairs to a burst water main. in westminster — there are road closures for the raf centenary including the mall and victoria street. in the city — st paul's church yard is closed eastbound from ludgate hill because of a gas leak. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello, good morning. good news if the heat is just too much for you, something noticeably fresher on the way today with a north—easterly breeze. we start the day with the temperatures in the mid—to—upper teens. we see variable amounts of cloud through the day, that cloud working in from the east. there will be some breaks in the cloud, though, so some sunny spells.

just the chance of the odd spot of drizzle through this morning where the cloud is thick enough but a mostly dry day to come and feeling noticeably fresher. temperatures between 22 and 24 degrees celsius is the maximum with that north—easterly breeze. through this evening, then, some late spells of sunshine and then overnight, we'll see more in the way of cloud feeding in from the east. temperatures a touch cooler than last night so comfortable for sleeping again. overnight lows of around 11—14 degrees celsius. tomorrow, fair amounts of cloud around again and we'll see some good spells of sunshine developing, though, and temperatures in the mid—20s but we will see the temperatures picking up as we move through the end of the week and into the weekend so by the time to get to saturday, sunday, we get high 20s. the dip in temperatures today looking like a brief respite. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome

to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. our headlines today: "back me or risk a labour government." theresa may's warning to brexiteers after two high—profile ministers resign over her brexit plan. foreign secretary borisjohnson quit claiming that the brexit dream is dying. he'll be replaced byjeremy hunt at a meeting of the new—look cabinet later this morning. end game in thailand. the operation begins to rescue the last four boys trapped deep in a flooded cave. grand plans for renewable energy, roads, railways

and broadband to help meet the demands of rapid population growth. but will the government find the cash to fund them? i'll have more later. it's women's quarter—finals day here at wimbledon, and with the top 10 seeds all knocked out, serena williams is on course for an incredible comeback title. yesterday it was very hot here, the temperature reached 30.7. today it will be cooler, cooler for most of the uk with a fair bit of cloud but more sunny spells. more later. it's tuesday the 10th ofjuly. i'll have a full news round—up in just a moment but first, our main story is the turmoil in theresa may's top team after a series of high—profile ministerial resignations over her brexit plan. charlie is in a blustery westminster this morning. i was going to save

from here in brexit, which isn't what i meant to say, westminster! an extraordinary 30 hours, we've had the resignations and windy conditions here. i've been working on my analogy is this morning with the winds of change, which will be visible today when theresa may the polls together her new cabinet. jeremy hunt the new foreign secretary —— when theresa may pulls together. dominic raab, the new brexit secratary. the borisjohnson quotes will be sticking for theresa may, the dream of brexit is dying, suffocated by needless doubt. then the response from theresa may, saying she was sorry and surprised at what he has decided to do. our poltical correspondent, alex forsyth, reports. leaving his official residence last night, the former foreign secretary. borisjohnson's resignation caused turmoil in westminster, the second cabinet member to quit over the government's brexit policy

in less than 24 hours. and giving his reasons why, he pulled no punches. in his letter to the prime minister, he said the brexit dream: her response: theresa may defended her brexit plan in the commons yesterday, saying it would deliver on the referendum result but protect the jobs and business. in the two years since the referendum, we have had a spirited national debate. but plenty in her own party are concerned, although some brexiteers do seem supportive. the prime minister has shown she's determined that she's going to get us out of the eu and, at the same time, she's going to meet the eu's own red lines, thereby ensuring they are going to have to take the negotiations seriously.

so it's out with the old, in with the new. dominic raab, a leaver, is the new brexit secratary. jeremy hunt, who backed remain, takes over at foreign secretary. matthew hancock takes over his job as health secretary, and jeremy wright, the former attorney general, is promoted to culture secretary. today in downing street, the new—look cabinet will meet for the first time. some hope it will prove more united but for the prime minister, the fight to keep her party on side is far from over. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. our political correspondent leila nathoo is here. theresa may's position firstly, as of last night, 6pm, people were asking, was something really dramatic going to happen. where is she now? there's no doubt she is in a hugely precarious position but she is

survived the 24 hours of david davis resigning and boris johnson resigning, she has survived a meeting of backbenchers last night when there were no immediate moves to oust her, no moving against her last night, there were in the numbers to force a vote of no—confidence in her. she remains in place and committed to her brexit strategy that thinks she will be able to push forward with, but she is no by no means out of trouble because backbencher brexiteers are furious about the chequers statement on friday, they have been emboldened by the words of the boris johnson saying the brexit dream is dying and they are determined to force a change of policy. they don't want a new leader, they say, at the moment, but it will be visiting to see what happens if they don't get their way and see the prime minister change course. what about the plan talked about on friday that everyone agreed

on, where does that's it? theresa may is clear, she was in the commons yesterday presenting naplan as if nothing had happened, selling it to parliament —— that plan —— where does that's it. she has said this is the only way forward and she has said this is the only possible brexit plan —— where does that sit. two of her biggest critics in the cabinet are no longer there so perhaps she has a more united and supportive cabinet around her able to rally around her and help purcell that policy to her party. but she has to get the support of her mps, there are more parliamentary battles in the next week or so were backbenchers could try to tinker with the proposals again. don't forget she has to put the plans in brussels, we haven't even heard the immediate reaction of eu leaders in brussels so far, so if there's any suggestion that plan is on to their liking she could be in trouble. thanks very much. layla will be here through the morning. we will be talking to guests —— leila.

an extraordinary time in westminster. back to you. as you say, the winds of change in. we will be back with you shortly. divers in northern thailand have restarted a high—risk rescue operation to free the last five members of a group who became trapped in a vast cave system last month. eight boys have been brought out of the caves over the past two days. our asia correspondent nick beake is at chiang rai hospital for us this morning. nick, this has been a delicate rescue operation fraught with risk. how are the survivors doing so far? good morning. we have heard from the man leading this operation and his message was clear, we can do this. he confirmed they would try to get out the four remaining boys and their coach today. the good news is their coach today. the good news is the water level in the cave complex has remained the same as when they embarked on this perilous mission. the first day's operation took 11 hours, the second day took nine hours, the second day took nine hours and they hope to get the remaining boys out today in an even

shorter time. everyone hopeful of that. we heard from the medical teams today and they said the boys taken to teams today and they said the boys ta ken to safety first were well. their first words when they were rescued was they were pleased to see theirfamilies, they rescued was they were pleased to see their families, they have rescued was they were pleased to see theirfamilies, they have missed them and they are delighted to be out. the medical team were asked about what the boys wanted to eat, the answer was chocolate but no such luxury at the moment, it is more basic food. we heard the boys will be here for at least a week. they we re be here for at least a week. they were invited to the world cup final in russia, if that was even possible, they won't be able to do that but the doctors have said they will bring in big tv screens to watch the match. they will hope the tea m watch the match. they will hope the team will be reunited back then. let's hope so. the eyes of the world are watching. nick, thank you very much. donald trump has nominated a former adviser to ex—president george w bush as his pick for the us supreme court. in a televised announcement the president called brett kavanaugh one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. the court's rulings influence many contentious issues in american

politics like abortion, the death penalty, voter rights and immigration policy. thousands of prisoners will be able to make telephone calls from their cells under plans announced by the government. the phones will be installed in 20 prisons, all calls from them will be recorded and they'll be limited to dialling pre—approved numbers. its part of a drive to improve safety in jails across england and wales and stem the trade in illicit mobiles. the introduction of extra services on eight different railway lines has been delayed because of the chaos caused by timetable changes earlier this year. the chairman of network rail, sir peter hendy, said the industry had scaled back its ambitions after what he called recent painful lessons. tom burridge reports. feel familiar? train travel across britain is all too often a crowded affair. so plans were in the pipeline for new timetables with many more trains from december. but this was the scene in may, thousands of trains were cancelled or delayed when northern and govia thameslink significantly changed their timetables and passengers were left stranded. cancellations all the time, we're just waiting on the platform probably for, like, 30 minutes and all of a sudden

theyjust cancel it. so now timetable changes planned for much of the network in december have been postponed. in fact, all of these operators will make no change in december at all. passengers in other places will see minor changes. the body which represents rail companies said reliability must come first. but in places like leeds, there's already been criticism that passengers and local politicians haven't been consulted. tom burridge, bbc news. thousands of prisoners will be able to make telephone calls from their cells under plans announced by the government. the phones will be installed in 20 prisons, all calls from them will be recorded and they'll be limited to dialling pre—approved numbers. its part of a drive to improve safety in jails across england and wales and stem the trade in illicit mobiles. —— it's. hundreds of england fans are flying to moscow this morning ahead of tomorrow's world cup semi—final against croatia. one airline has had to provide larger planes on routes to the russian capital to meet the increased demand.

greg mckenzie is at heathrow airport for us. some people are lucky enough to have tickets. good morning. good morning, louise. hundreds of fa ns good morning, louise. hundreds of fans all rushing to get to russia, see what i did there! the first flight see what i did there! the first flight out from terminal 5 at heathrow leaves at 8:45am and behind me are a load of fans who have tickets. you will be in russia in four hours, how did you get your tickets and how much did they cost? they were face value from the fifa website, there were problems this week, long queues, three hours at a time. when you get to the front of the queue and you're ready to purchase the website went down but we got there in the end despite the issues. where are you staying in russia, hotel sorted? the hilton in red square. you were one of the few that got tickets, did you ever think we

we re got tickets, did you ever think we were going to get this far? always, had to be done. an important and tough game for england. it should be a victory. we will coast home. give us a victory. we will coast home. give usa a victory. we will coast home. give us a scoreline, what do you think? 1-0. 2-1. 3-1, england. lots of difference here. in terms of tomorrow, will be bring it home on sunday? yeah! 4-ball's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming home! goodness, gracious me! a small version of the noise coming over the next 24 hours or so i've suspect —— 4—ball‘s. —— football's. let's return to our top story now, the fallout from yesterday's westminster resignations. charlie is there for us. let's recapture. we have a new look cabinet —— let's recapture. jeremy

hunt will be foreign secretary —— let's recapture. dominic raab will be the brexit secratary. david davis and boris johnson resigned. all those question marks about what would happen with theresa may. i'm joined by may's former advisor katie perrior and boris's former advisor will walden. good morning to both of you. paddy singh theresa may's position? i think she is quite secure. people will say, we voted the brexit, get on with it. they are like cats fighting ina on with it. they are like cats fighting in a sack. but in terms of the westminster bubble, she's chosen to get the fence, and she has got a cabinet together and is going to go ahead and do that. it's not as damaging as something. boris

johnson, resignation yesterday, scene is hugely significant. within this westminster bubble, people saying it had to happen. he thought about it andjumped. saying it had to happen. he thought about it and jumped. there was a bit in me that bought, if he can, he wants to fight from within but it's been the outlier. he believes he needs to be able to deliver the brexit that he campaigned for and given what happened at chequers, he made his objection clear on the friday night. he decided it wasn't now, it would be when it was watered down. the principal thing to do was resign. when you look at those words in the resignation letter, it's an acceptance, following eu laws, the dream of brexit is dying. government has a song to sing. the words stick in my throat. we are expecting it to

be quite as stinging as that, when you left is to mark when the prime minister appointed boris, she knew what it was. i think he has spent the last few months thinking that what he campaigned for and what he believes, people have voted, brexit wants. what about the future? we have these powerful voice is now on the backbenches. it will always be a problem but this is an issue that has divided the conservative party for many years. it's become quite toxic. people won't be friends with each other any more over brexit and this is a defining moment. over the next few months will know of theresa may has chosen the right path. i certainly think in the next few days, if she were to vote —— vote of no—confidence she would win it and that should should put it to bed.

hopefully getting the brexit deal thatis hopefully getting the brexit deal that is close to the solutions that people want. it's continually dividing the conservative party and dividing the conservative party and dividing the conservative party and dividing the labour party and its not over yet. a lot of people, there is divided thought about boris johnson. what he cares about most is his own political future. johnson. what he cares about most is his own politicalfuture. others say, he genuinely wants to make a difference in politics. can you give us difference in politics. can you give us any kind of insight as to whether he thinks his resignation is part of an ongoing plan? i think is probably ina period an ongoing plan? i think is probably in a period where he doesn't say anything and it would be good to him andl anything and it would be good to him and i say that because there is always this hullabaloo around boris. it's always, i'm going to be the leader, but it's always rubbish. this is a principal resignation. he could have wrecked his political campaign by backing leave, he could

have accepted the job offer from david cameron behind the scenes and back to remain. he took a decision which he thought was the right thing to do and i think he has done the same. he hasn't done this in my view because he wants to be the next prime minister. he's done it because the fundamental direction of travel he sees as wrong and rather than singing from that theresa may songsheet. he can't do that. he's done the sensible thing and resign. people often get tired of what happens in the building behind us in terms of mechanics. theresa may arrived here and addressed the commons and goes to see her mps. these are the people who can decide whether or not the leader of the party stays in place. we are told it was a bold performance and mps gave a warm reception. which is pushed against the wall, she is really

pretty and determined. she took on the police federation when she was home secretary and took on many terrorists and extradited them in a way tony blair said could not be done. we saw the very best of theresa may yesterday. two hours in the house of commons were it was very noisy and things going on in facing the 1922 committee. when she said, i'm going to go walking for summer holidays, they all cried out, no, don't do that. the last thing anybody wants is a general election. that's it for the moment from westminster. believe it or not, it's a little chilly out here. carroll, there has been a slight change in temperature. it's chilly here at wimbledon as well, the sun is shining. these guys arejust taking

well, the sun is shining. these guys are just taking out cover off. it ta kes are just taking out cover off. it takes less than 60 seconds the eight of them to pull the covers back and they do it so efficiently. all courts have been provided with cove rs courts have been provided with covers since 1971. centre court was first covered in 1922. the weight of the cover is actually one time. you can imagine, although this might not be as heavy centre it is heavy. as i mentioned, they do it so efficiently. yesterday, temperatures here reached 30.7dc. today's forecast for wimbledon is a cooler one. the maximum temperature is likely to be about 24. sunny spells, meaning blue skies that there will be cloud developing as well. and a noticeable breeze. that's what is making it feel cool this morning. we've also got a bit more clout than we have been used to in recent days.

find things difficult. that's really good. overall, things are going a lot better than i realised they were going to go so it's really good. i can't stop crying. this year, i was discharged from st andrews, a mental health hospital. i was kept there for my own safety for almost two yea rs. for my own safety for almost two years. most of my problems started when i was around 14. and things just got a whole lot worse when i was 17, ready to go to adult services. there was a massive delay andi services. there was a massive delay and i didn't get transitioned until i was admitted to an adult hospital. there was a day in my treatment from 17 to 18 that made things really bad. —— delay. iam meeting katy, who was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression as a teenager. things started going badly for her but she moved from child to aduu for her but she moved from child to adult mental health services. they found a ward who would take me when i was found a ward who would take me when iwas17, an

found a ward who would take me when i was 17, an adult ward, but this was four hours away from my home and so was four hours away from my home and so that meant i was really far away, it was really scary obviously. how did it feel being the youngest on an aduu did it feel being the youngest on an adult ward? honestly, it was terrifying. the next youngest person was about seven, eight years older than me and a lot of them were very u nwell than me and a lot of them were very unwell and it was quite scary and i felt like a burden they were trying to offload somewhere.” felt like a burden they were trying to offload somewhere. i found what katy was saying really interesting. and ifound katy was saying really interesting. and i found adult services really scary. 18, are very vulnerable age andi scary. 18, are very vulnerable age and i don't understand why it is like this. i feel like and i don't understand why it is like this. ifeel like it and i don't understand why it is like this. i feel like it needs to change in some way. there is a report out today by the healthcare safety investigation branch that looks specifically at this move from child to adult mental health services. the system can be confusing and frightening and instead of helping young people, it can add to their despair. it is only 496 can add to their despair. it is only 4% of young people have an ideal transition. it makes a number of

recommendations. it says the system should be more flexible, based not a young person ‘s age but on their needs. a large flat white and a latte ? needs. a large flat white and a latte? perfect. i feel needs. a large flat white and a latte? perfect. ifeel positive about my future and i'm going to couegein about my future and i'm going to college in september so i can study occupational therapy and i want to help people who are going through experiences that i have been through and myself. want to help them to wa nt to and myself. want to help them to want to help change the system. thank you very much to tee to helping us. we will be speaking to the branch about what they found that a bit late to hear on the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. some residents living near luton airport have dismissed a consultation into its expansion as meaningless. airport bosses say thousands of newjobs and hundreds of millions of pounds will be added to the regional economy if it expands.

it wants to reach 38 million passengers by 2050 more than doubling capacity. but some living underneath the flightpath believe the consulation is no more than lip service. it says, "can you please rank for us the benefits of this expansion?" but nowhere on here can i see a way of saying, i don't think that is a benefit, i think it's a disbenefit to people in this area. there's nothing in here where it actually asks you the straight and honest question, "do you think luton airport should be further expanded ? " detectives are appealing for witnesses following what has been described as a vicious robbery‘ involving the brazen use of a strong chemical. the attack happened on bell lane in enfield in the early hours of saturday morning. a 63—year—old man was sprayed in the face with a noxcious substance. two suspects then took his keys and drove off in his car. the victim remains in hospital with life—changing eye injuries. ten of thousands of people are said to have entered a ballot

with a north—easterly breeze. we start the day with the temperatures in the mid—to—upper teens. we see variable amounts of cloud through the day, that cloud working in from the east. there will be some breaks in the cloud, though, so some sunny spells. just the chance of the odd spot of drizzle through this morning where the cloud is thick enough but a mostly dry day to come and feeling noticeably fresher. temperatures between 22 and 24 degrees celsius is the maximum with that north—easterly breeze. through this evening, then, some late spells of sunshine and then overnight, we‘ll see more in the way of cloud feeding in from the east. temperatures a touch cooler than last night so more comfortable for sleeping again. overnight lows of around 11—14 degrees celsius. tomorrow, fair amounts of cloud around again and we‘ll see some good spells of sunshine developing, though, and temperatures in the mid—20s but we will see the temperatures picking up as we move through the end of the week and into the weekend so by the time to get to saturday, —sunday, we get high 20s. the dip in temperatures today looking like a brief respite. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour.

plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin here in the studio and charlie stayt in westminster. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. borisjohnson has told theresa may the brexit dream is dying. the former foreign secretary wrote to the prime minister after confirming his resignation from the cabinet, the second departure from her top team in less than 24 hours. the prime minister responded that she was sorry and a little surprised at the decision and appointed jeremy hunt to replace him. the first meeting of the new cabinet will take place this morning. rescuers in thailand have begun what they hope will be a third and final operation to free the remaining four teenage boys and their football coach, who are trapped in a flooded cave system. so far, eight boys have been brought to safety, since being cut off by rising water more than two weeks ago. they‘re said to be in good health. donald trump has nominated a former

than we‘ve been used to? sally, good morning, looking colder than we've been used to? the temperature has definitely dropped. carol was mentioning that a few moments ago. the sun is breaking through at the moment, if you‘re coming to wimbledon today, it looks like it will warm up a bit. this is caught number seven, the outside courts, because look at the brilliant view behind me. this is centre court, look at the balconies, you might be able to see them, they are famous for when the winner comes out with the trophy on the last weekend of wimbledon, normally to a huge crowd below. i remember andy murray famously did that more than once. serena williams says she‘s still not back to her best, but nobody‘s really challenged her so far this year at wimbledon. she had herfirst child last year, of course. in fact, she hasn‘t dropped a set yet, evgeniya rodina the latest player to be swept aside. with none of the top 10 women‘s seeds left in the draw, williams is favourite to win her 24th grand slam title and she‘s working hard on and off the court. it‘s really cool, you know?

you can be a mum, you can still play tennis, you can be great, you can be in the quarter—finals of wimbledon. you can be a working mum. if that‘s what you choose, stay—at—home mums is a full—time job, i know! kids are so hard! so, errm, eitherway women are in apparently the other. the number seven, karolina pliskova, was the last of the women‘s top 10 seeds to fall, she was beaten in straight sets by kiki bertens. just like serena williams, roger federer is through to the quarter—finals without dropping a set. he dispatched france‘s adrian mannarino on centre court, and if he lifts the trophy again on sunday, he‘ll equal martina navratilova‘s record of nine singles titles. and we could have a nadal—federerfinal, with rafa nadal through to the last eight for the first time since 2011. it‘s been straight sets all the way for him too, he beatjiri vesely yesterday. and the centre court crowd stayed late last night,

to watch an incredible comeback from jamie murray and victoria azarenka in the mixed doubles, they recovered from 5—1 down in the final set to beat robert farah and anna—lena groenfeld after almost two and three quarter hours on court. andy murray will be making an appearance in the second week of wimbledon, just not as he‘d originally hoped! he announced on social media that he‘ll be joining the bbc commentary team for the next two days. as he says, what could possibly go wrong?! now, to the world cup, and we‘ll talk about england in just a minute but tonight, it‘s the first of the semi—finals. france take on belgium, with two strikers trying to beat harry kane to the golden boot, french teenager kylian mbappe has three to his name, belgium‘s romelu lukaku four, kane leads with six. and you can watch that

match on bbc one, kick—off at 7pm. there‘s also commentary on radio 5live. england will be keeping a very keen eye on events in st petersburg, as will our sports correspondent david ornstein, who‘s in repino near the england training base. david, what will their day look like? it's it‘s getting ever closer, that semi—final. sally, welcome to the stadium. this has been england‘s training ground throughout the tournament and it will be as long as they iron it, which they hope will be right until the final on sunday. within the next half an hour or so england will train for the final time before

leaving early afternoon for of scope, a shortjourney to the russian capital where gareth southgate and the players will give a news conference, then the talking will end and it will be full steam ahead for the critical semi—final between england and croatia tomorrow night in moscow. the nation is waiting and ashley young, one of the key players at this tournament, says the players want to go all the way now but they‘re not getting carried away. i think it‘s one of them things as a kid, you always dream of playing in the world cup, and, you know, you dream of winning the world cup. you know, we‘re not going to get too ahead of ourselves and get carried away. you know, everybody‘s feet are on the ground, everyone is pulling in the right way, and, as i say, we‘rejust going to prepare in the same way that we have done for every other game. there‘s another game coming up and that‘s the way we‘ve got to see it. croatia the task ahead, the england team‘s toughest task so far. if you

had offered this before the tournament england would have bitten your hand off, croatia are 20 in the world, england, 12. they have played 120 minutes in their last two games and penalty shootouts. this is remarkable, gareth southgate almost the accidental hero here. he came in in september, 2016 as temporary manager, permanent manager a couple of years later and now he stands on the verge of world cup glory. it‘s becoming really exciting and a nation is believing. david, it is, it‘s getting closer, you said it! we will talk to you later in the programme. gareth southgate full of confidence and the players remaining calm. saying they are only looking to tomorrow‘s game. louise, how will they do that? surely you are fast forwarding to sunday and world cup

glory. i'm not an expert but you just have to take it one step at a time! impossible, you can‘t do it! time! impossible, you can't do it! see you later, thanks very much. less than a month ago the world cup began in russia, with many pundits and fans expressing their low expectations of england‘s chances. what a difference a month makes. today gareth southgate‘s men are preparing for their semi—final and millions of three lions fans are starting to believe that football really could be coming home. breakfast‘sjohn maguire has been out to take the temperature of one city gripped by football fever. what may have started as a slight bout of world cup man flu has now developed into full—blown world cup fever. this was the scene at bristol city‘s homeground ashton gate on saturday. the fan numbers have been increasing game by game and 5,500 tickets have sold out for the semifinal tomorrow night. i was gutted, actually. i made a special effort today to leave work on time but they sold out in four hours.

we were here last tuesday for the colombia game and the atmosphere was fantastic. ok, i was stinking of cider and whatever other lager was thrown on me in between but the atmosphere was great here. that reminds me. if you‘re a sculptor, it‘s probably worth getting your southgate sketches under way. butchers, bakers and barbers are always good for world cup offer and despite his italian heritage, giacomo is flying the flag. usually we‘ve got two teams to support, this time we only have one which is doing really well so fingers crossed for wednesday. so flag on the ‘ead, son. so flag on me ‘ead, son. what to wear tomorrow? forget lucky underpants, socks or hats — winners wear waistcoats. i feel more tactically aware already. on saturday, after i left here, i was unintentionally wearing my blue waistcoat and trousers. a lot of people thought it‘d be fun to refer to gareth southgate and i enjoyed every moment of it.

another rookie like you. no free drinks, though? no free drinks. maybe you get some tomorrow night, hopefully. hopefully. despite all the concern over the world cup beers being flat this summer, luckily gareth and the squad are providing enough fizz for everyone. john maguire, bbc news, bristol. the delirium of football fever can cause some odd behaviour, like a wedding groom declaring his undying love for gareth southgate, instead of his new bride, during a wedding speech. that‘s what varun dewan did on saturday, and somehow he lived to tell the tale. a video of the speech went viral online. good morning. iwill ask good morning. i will ask your point of view first of all. this video of you making this speech has gone crazy. you are sitting there, a

wonderful day for you, your husband stands up and makes a speech and declares his love for gareth southgate. how did you feel? it took me a second to register because he said to gareth southgate. i thought, whose gareth southgate! when they started playing the england song, i was absolutely fuming. —— who is. i think i‘m starting to forgive him a bit now. tell us, what was your inspiration? you had written this speech, it wasn‘t something that happened... she had told me, i can't make a foot ball she had told me, i can't make a football reference in my speech. this is dangerous ground you are on. i know. for me, the groom's speech is generally a bit boring, you just have to say thank you... boring is very important, isn‘t it? have to say thank you... boring is very important, isn't it? it is. i wanted to make the guests laugh. i

had been watching various videos on youtube and slowly this came to me as something i could do and then the stars aligned and england played on saturday and they had won and it all worked out better than i could have expected. take us through the speech, some may not have seen it, how did it start, can you remember? as most speeches start, i thanked my guests, the new in—laws, parents, bridesmaids, groomsmen and best men, then you start to toast your wife and then! then you start to toast your wife and then i decided to go with a lot of generic statements. we had been together for years and obviously the world cup is every four years, again, worked out nicely and i got my guests to stand up and made another comment that would suggest posting to our future and relationship, instead said gareth southgate and at the perfect moment the dj dropped the three lions. and surely there was a moment of shock but when the music came on everyone erupted and it went better than expected —— initially. erupted and it went better than expected -- initially. i feelfor

you. i feel for expected -- initially. i feelfor you. i feelfor me expected -- initially. i feelfor you. i feel for me too. this happen, you. i feel for me too. this happen, you don‘t know who he means by gareth southgate at that point, you are furious, then what? —— this happened. i looked at my guests' reaction, half the room are stunned. the other half are loving it and make it messaging us saying he‘s my hero. in some ways you made it up because then you did your proper speech? i did, i had a few nice words which i think went down well as well. it's lovely you came to see us as well. it's lovely you came to see us before your honeymoon, you are flying later. you‘re not a big football fan, are you ? flying later. you‘re not a big football fan, are you? not huge. she used to be until she started dating me. because you are supporters of different teams? she is a manchester city fan and i am a manchester united fan. during the honeymoon there will be at least one game, where are you watching it?l there will be at least one game, where are you watching it? a friend of mine lives in abu dhabi, i will

ask him for recommendations about where to go and watch the game in dubai, where we are watching, going. are you going to watch it with him? i guess i have to! i don't know! thanks for coming in and enjoy the game and hopefully enjoy the final as well. thank you. thank you both. temperatures last night, two degrees. here at wimbledon, we want to show you how much there is. on this site, we have caught number six. look at pristina grasses delivers. even after all the play that it delivers. even after all the play thatitis delivers. even after all the play that it is sad. even after it is cut

to eight millimetres. you mention the temperature, yesterday at wimbledon, it reached 30.7. today it is going to be quite different. is the first day since the fourth of july that anywhere in the uk hasn‘t reached 30 degrees. perhaps refreshingly so, in the breeze, you will notice it. top temperatures of 24 celsius. it should stay dry and we‘re looking sunny intervals. the forecast is cooler than it was yesterday but again, mostly dry. it's yesterday but again, mostly dry. it‘s also cloudier it was yesterday. first thing this morning, we can see the extent of cloud around. across scotland, we still are looking at some showery outbreaks of rain. the brightest skies currently across the

aisle but. more cloud will develop cheering the day. more cloud view. as we drift further west, we have a skies. it‘s dry. england and wales, there is noticeable breeze. that will take the edge off those temperatures. through the day, some bus will see more cloud developed. sunny spells developing and hires u pto sunny spells developing and hires upto 24, 25 sunny spells developing and hires upto 24,25 and sunny spells developing and hires upto 24, 25 and the south—east. we are looking at the mid to high teens. the mid to high teens even below the 20s across the rest of england and wales across the south—east. this evening, and overnight, the rain will pepper. again, afair overnight, the rain will pepper. again, a fair bit of cloud around. this liberal too. the midlands, east

wales, down towards dorset. temperatures in the low teens. much more comfortable for sleeping in them we have had in recent nights. tomorrow, we start off with the rain in northern ireland and western scotland. it will start to rain of it. we could see some showers develop across kent, sussex and a six. the temperatures starting to rise just a bit. six. the temperatures starting to risejust a bit. on six. the temperatures starting to rise just a bit. on thursday, six. the temperatures starting to risejust a bit. on thursday, for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, more cloud. some showery outbreaks of rain. looking at some sunny spells in the temperatures are that bit more. as we head into the weekend, those temperatures will continue to rise at the some parts of the uk, a high of 29, possibly 30. you can probably hear the lawnmower going in the

background, the court is being prepared and the leaves are being swept the grass has been up. it looks so immaculate. we are enjoying the cooler weather at the moment. we all know the uk population is set to grow significantly over the next few decades, now a major report into every everything from roads and railways to broadband internet and renewable energy is calling for decisive action to make sure our infrastructure is able to cope. sean‘s got more on this. yes this is the first report from the national infrastructure commission, set up to try to focus minds across government. this report is being done because of this figure — population expected to grow considerably by 2050. they‘d do reports every five years and pick out things needed. and that will only put lots more pressure our roads, rails, and energy supplies. it says half of all the uk‘s energy should come from renewable resources by 2030. there is tons of stuff in it. 160

pages. 50% renewables by 2030, moving towards an energy supply that is more wind and solar, not so much nuclear. other ideas, electric vehicle sales. at the minute, it is 296. vehicle sales. at the minute, it is 2%. these are great targets to be had. meeting energy targets, seeing where we should be as a country. just finally recycling. three quarters of our plastic packaging should be recycled. lots of things in this report. we spoke to the chair of the commission. he has changed his mind on nuclear. when you look at the evidence look at how the costs have rapidly come down on renewables, and you look at the

further technological improvements that we can expect, the smart distribution networks. actually renewa bles distribution networks. actually renewables become much more viable as being the majority providerfor our electricity in the future. any decisions on energy will have a huge impact. the hinckley plant that is being built is controversial. but it is interesting saying, not much difference at the moment will stop just further down line. much more benefit. these are all big figures. what about the government?m benefit. these are all big figures. what about the government? it is a real big issue. it is raised the whole process of brexit, an issue throughout. is that taking up too much time? do we need to be focusing more on making decisions about the likes of energy and roads. this week, with the reshuffle, it means

week, with the reshuffle, it means we are on to our eighth housing minister in eight years. it is a huge part of this as well. you can see why they raise concerns about people among industry, will these get built? 18 hours --8 housing ministers in eight years, wow. the raf will celebrate its centenary in style this afternoon — with a parade through the streets of london and a huge flypast over buckingham palace. our correspondent robert hall is on horse guards parade to tell us more. we area we are a step away from the westminster village. i‘m glad to report that all is relatively calm. it's report that all is relatively calm. it‘s traditionally army territory and the past few days, firmly occupied by the royal airforce. the aircraft you representing virtually every decade of a lifetime. later on, service of at westminster abbey. finally, the fly past up to 100

aircraft going up and over the top of buckingham palace. sophie gardner, 20 years with the royal aircraft. the raf was formed after the royal flying corps and the air service merged. it wasn‘t entirely popular and nearly didn‘t happen. service merged. it wasn‘t entirely popular and nearly didn't happenm was made a wartime necessity in 1918 and at the time, the raf didn‘t have the chance to create its own uniform and ranks and it was stationed in the headquarters of the hotel up on the headquarters of the hotel up on the strand and after the war, in 1918 and 1919, the fight was on because there wasn‘t much resource and the raf was fighting for its life and its continued independence. they scrapped hundreds of the aircraft? they did and a lot of the older aircraft were out of date and in fact, they create —— they paraded at hendon but what they concentrated

on and what the chief concentrated on and what the chief concentrated on was on the foundations as you would call them, the people, the training, so the apprentice training scheme, and making sure they had a basis to build rather than trying lots of shiny new our craft. they moved very quickly. you go from the ca nvas moved very quickly. you go from the canvas and would to the spitfire, the meteor hitting, one of the first jet aircraft, the very short space of time. it was changing so fast. probably causing some of attention. these were reasonably expensive aircraft to have. they advanced very quickly. i would say not so much in the 19205, it was more in the 19305 when the threat of war got things going. we talked about the competition right at the start, there was always been a needle over there was always been a needle over

the older services and the fledgeling upstart. obviously 100 days ago today. still, i‘d say the other two services consider the rollout. in a junior of the three. it is technically but also lacking traditions and habits. today it‘s more about saving, hear the raf is, it deserves its place. we will hear more from you later on and see one or two more of these aircraft. i will see you in one hour or so. that is up to the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m tolu adeoye. a cyclist who was hit by a lorry in south—west london yesterday evening has died in hospital. the man, believed to be 34 years old, was involved in a collision with the truck at queens circus in battersea at around 5.45. emergency services treated him at the scene and he was taken to hospital but died over night.

some residents living near luton airport have dismissed a consultation into its expansion as meaningless. airport bosses say if it expands, thousands of newjobs and hundreds of millions of pounds will be added to the regional economy. it wants to reach 38 million passengers by 2050, more than doubling capacity. but some living underneath the flightpath believe the consulation is no more than lip service. it says, "can you please rank for us the benefits of this expansion?" but nowhere on here can i see a way of saying, i don‘t think that is a benefit, i think it‘s a disbenefit to people in this area. there‘s nothing in here where it actually asks you the straight and honest question, "do you think luton airport should be further expanded ? " a huge collection of showbiz autographs from london‘s west end are up for auction. the mementos were collected by a mother and son from leyton in east london. among them are signed photos of morecambe and wise, bruce forsyth, elizabeth taylor and a tommy cooper caricature. they go under the hammer later this morning. let‘s have a look

at the travel situation now. it‘s a good service on the tubes. turning to the railway — there are some changes to southeastern metro services because of a de—railment in the grove park depot. turning to the roads — we can see on the camera there st james‘s street is closed southbound from piccadilly for repairs to a burst water main. that‘s causing delays. in westminster — there are road closures for the raf centenary including the mall and victoria street. in the city — st paul‘s yard is closed eastbound from ludgate hill because of a gas leak. let‘s have a check on the weather. hello, good morning. good news if the heat is just too much for you, something noticeably fresher on the way today with a north—easterly breeze. we start the day with the temperatures in the mid—to—upper teens. we see variable amounts of cloud through the day, that cloud working in from the east. there will be some breaks in the cloud, though, so some sunny spells.

just the chance of the odd spot of drizzle particularly through this morning where the cloud is thick enough but a mostly dry day to come and feeling noticeably fresher. temperatures between 22 and 24 degrees celsius is the maximum with that north—easterly breeze. through this evening, then, some late spells of sunshine and then overnight, we‘ll see more in the way of cloud feeding in from the east. temperatures a touch cooler than last night so more comfortable for sleeping again. overnight lows of around 11—14 degrees celsius. tomorrow, fair amounts of cloud around again and we‘ll see some good spells of sunshine developing, though, and temperatures in the mid—205 but we will see the temperatures picking up as we move through the end of the week and into the weekend so by the time to get to saturday—sunday, we‘re looking at high 205. the dip in temperatures today looking like a brief respite. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. our headlines today... back me or risk a labour government. theresa may‘s warning to brexiteers after two high—profile ministers resign in 24 hours.

foreign secretary borisjohnson quit claiming that "the brexit dream is dying". he‘ll be replaced byjeremy hunt at a meeting of the new—look cabinet later this morning. end game in thailand — the operation begins to rescue the last four boys trapped deep in a flooded cave. grand plans for renewable energy, roads, railways and broadband to help meet the demands of rapid population growth. but will the government find the cash to fund them? it‘s women‘s quarter—finals day here at wimbledon and with the top ten seeds all knocked out, serena williams is on course for an incredible comeback title. and yesterday was 30.7 but it is more likely to be 24 today, much cooler and that is the forecast for most of the country, a noticeable breeze, more cloud but some sunny

spells. more later. it‘s tuesday the 10th ofjuly. i‘ll have a full news round—up in just a moment but first, our main story is the turmoil in theresa may‘s top team after a series of high—profile ministerial resignations over her brexit plan. iam in i am in westminster this morning. later this morning, the prime minister will meet a cabinet that looks very different from just 24 hours ago following the shock departure of the foreign secretary borisjohnson, hard on the heels of the brexit secretary, david davis. there were some scathing comments in his letter to the prime minister from borisjohnson. his letter to the prime minister from boris johnson. she his letter to the prime minister from borisjohnson. she has said the party needs to get behind her leadership or risk handing power to jeremy corbyn. our poltical correspondent alex forsyth reports. leaving his official residence last night, the former foreign secretary. borisjohnson‘s resignation caused turmoil in westminster, the second cabinet member to quit

over the government‘s brexit policy in less than 24 hours. and giving his reasons why, he pulled no punches. in his letter to the prime minister, he said the brexit dream is: her response: theresa may defended her brexit plan in the commons yesterday, saying it would deliver on the referendum result but protectjobs and business. in the two years since the referendum, we have had a spirited national debate. but plenty in her own party are concerned, although some brexiteers do seem supportive. the prime minister has shown she's determined that she's going to get us out of the eu and, at the same time, she's going to meet the eu's own red lines, thereby ensuring they are going to have to take

the negotiations seriously. so it‘s out with the old, in with the new. dominic raab, a leaver, is the new brexit secratary. jeremy hunt, who backed remain, takes over as foreign secretary. matthew hancock takes over his job as health secretary, and jeremy wright, the former attorney general, is promoted to culture secretary. today in downing street, the new—look cabinet will meet for the first time. some hope it will prove more united but for the prime minister, the fight to keep her party on side is far from over. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. that cabinet meeting is taking place later. let‘s pick up on some of those issues. our political correspondent leila nathoo is here. at six o‘clock yesterday people were wondering what might happen for theresa may and her role but where

does it said this morning? she seems to have weathered this massive storm for now. she is still in post and promoting herb brexit plan, she got the cabinet to agree to it on friday —— hervan. the cabinet to agree to it on friday —— her van. despite those resignations. she is going on and sticking to her guns and she has not had any immediate moves against her. backbenchers met last night and had not got the requisite numbers to force a vote of no—confidence in her yet but there is clearly going to be a challenge to her on this plan with the brexiteers on the backbenches clear they want her to change course, but she is planning to stick the ukfar course, but she is planning to stick the uk far closer than they would wa nt to the uk far closer than they would want to the eu after brexit so there will be some run—ins on that. largely what will happen in the coming days will depend on what moves there are against her, whether the resignations of horacejohnson in particular will become a rallying point for brexiteers who backed him, and will he make a leadership move

—— boris johnson. and will he make a leadership move —— borisjohnson. he could be a focus for a challenge to her authority but she is in place for now. we have looked at the letter he wrote to theresa may. the dream of brexit dying, subjugated by needless dowd. leaving the uk like a colony, going into battle with the white flags flying. these are scathing comments picked up in the papers today. will it be a rallying call for those who want theresa may to ta ke for those who want theresa may to take a different path? those words we re take a different path? those words were expressed in characteristic borisjohnson were expressed in characteristic boris johnson language but were expressed in characteristic borisjohnson language but they are the sentiments of many on the backbenches you feel like the plan to theresa may has agreed on friday in chequers with the cabinet is a betrayal of the brexit they had in mind, that the uk would be sticking too closely to the eu under that plan. the opinion of borisjohnson represents those of a good chunk of

the parliamentary party. whether some of those can be won around, with a more united cabinet she can sell the policy to the backbenchers, whether some of them will peel off and if this dies down, they will be calm, but there is still a danger that the brexit plan that theresa may has finally come down on what some might call a soft brexit, when it will be her undoing. thank you for now. we are spending the morning here. the new look cabinet meeting is late on but now it is back to louise. divers in northern thailand have restarted a high—risk rescue operation to free the last five members of a group who became trapped in a vast cave system last month. eight boys have been brought out of the caves over the past two days. our asia correspondent, nick beake, is at chiang rai hospital for us this morning. it is such a tricky operation.

how are the boys you have got out doing? good morning from the hospital where all eight boys are said to be doing remarkably well. this operation has been clouded in secrecy, run a bit like a military operation but we got extraordinary detail about how they are faring. the first four to come out are doing very well, their families were able to see them come not talk to them or hug them because there was a glass screen between them because they are worried about the risk of infection spreading. we know they have all picked up some sort of infection, tests have been sent to bangkok to find out what it is. they seem to be talking to doctors, psychologists have come into a set them. we know they have been asking for chocolate, that seems to be what they really wa nt that seems to be what they really want but at the moment is more basic soft food they are being given. the

doctors are amazed that, after two weeks underground in hot and humid conditions, hardly any light at all and oxygen depleted, they are doing really well. thank you very much. and the operation to rescue the others is under way this morning and we hope to update you on that throughout the day. the introduction of extra services on eight different railway lines has been delayed because of the chaos caused by timetable changes earlier this year. the chairman of network rail, sir peter hendy, said the industry had scaled back its ambitions after what he called "recent painful lessons". tom burridge reports. feel familiar? train travel across britain is all too often a crowded affair. so plans were in the pipeline for new timetables with many more trains from december. but this was the scene in may — thousands of trains were cancelled or delayed when northern and govia thameslink considerably

changed their timetables and passengers were left stranded. cancellations all the time, just waiting on the platform probably for, like, 30 minutes and all of a sudden theyjust cancel it. so now timetable changes planned for much of the network in december have been postponed. in fact, all of these operators will make no change in december at all. passengers in other places will see minor changes. the body which represents rail companies say reliability must come first. but in places like leeds, there‘s already been criticism that passengers and local politicians haven‘t been consulted. tom burridge, bbc news. hundreds of england fans are flying to moscow this morning ahead of tomorrow‘s world cup semi—final against croatia. british airways has had to provide larger planes on routes to the russian capital to meet the increased demand. they say searches for tickets to russia went up by 2000% after england won their quarter—final against sweden on saturday.

of course the england team are going to be training this morning. this is the live shotjust before they do. we will go there when they come out to have a sneak preview. i imagine they will be, as they have been looking pretty relaxed, if you can be just looking pretty relaxed, if you can bejust a looking pretty relaxed, if you can be just a few hours really before that crucial semifinal. more on that as and when. let‘s return to our top story, the fallout from yesterday‘s westminster resignations. charlie is there for us. so much change. yes indeed. i am trying to draw the analogies with the weather, it is blustery this morning, the sun is coming and going and change is in the air. we will have the new look

cabinet this morning, a first gathering after the resignation of borisjohnson gathering after the resignation of boris johnson yesterday afternoon and david davis on sunday. they have been replaced by dominic raab and jeremy hunt as new foreign secretary. in terms of the comings and goings here, theresa may was addressing the commons yesterday and later spoke to mp5. interesting to hear the reactions. we hear the influential 1922 committee which is all conservative mps, there was something of tables and she got a strong reception and a strong message, saying they have a plan and they will continue. jacob rees—mogg has been a voice that many people are listening to during this debate committee is the chair of the european research group. these were comments last night. the mood was concerned, worried, disappointed in the chequers agreement, which was generally felt not to represent the government‘s previous commitment.

so there was a feeling of having been let down, to some extent, having been led astray by what the government promised and by what the government has adopted as its policy. we focused entirely on the policy. there was no discussion about the position of the prime minister, who commands the personal loyalty of members, even if they disagree with the approach that is being taken on brexit and the feeling that this isn‘t, in fact, brexit, that we will carry on being a rule—taker from the european union in perpetuity if the chequers agreement stays. dr sarah wollaston mp, who backed remain in the referendum, joins me now. hearing from jacob rees—mogg, give is your take on what happened yesterday and the reception theresa may got from mps. she got a very strong reception and there is no appetite at all for a leadership challenge and certainly not in the country for there to be another general election. we need a period of stability, we want the government

speaking with one voice is because the first rule of negotiating is to stop negotiating with yourself so having that united front is very important. and for many of us were having a pragmatic approach to this that recognises the concerns of business and put our economy first was really important. you will forgive people by having a sense of deja vu when you say it is important we have one voice. on friday, we came out of the chequers meeting and those were the precise word that theresa may and others including those who have now departed were saying. what is different now? why can you convince people listening to this morning that there is more unity now? people will be asking why these individuals did not save it on friday and that is a matter for them to be challenged on —— did not say it. we have all those working in the cabinet very clear that if they cannot speak with one voice then it

is their responsibility to step down. that united front in europe is absolutely essential. this is a pragmatic solution and there are those on both sides, myself included, i would those on both sides, myself included, iwould have those on both sides, myself included, i would have liked to have seen closer ties to europe but i welcome the fact that those voices have now been heard and not been pushed out by those who want to have a much more extreme walk away brexit because many of us feel that would because many of us feel that would be deeply damaging so i welcome it. can you explain to people the complexion of the cabinet now? it is entirely made up of those who wanted to remain in the european union. dominic raab is the new brexit secretary, he wanted to leave and campaigned vigorously on it, but how does the cabinet represent the country when so many people voted to leave and those who remain in the cabinet are those who wanted to stay? the point is that those remaining in the cabinet are com pletely

remaining in the cabinet are completely committed to speaking with one voice on this and committed to carrying through brexit. the trouble with any referendum is you have a binary choice, stay or leave. we are leaving the eu but there is a legitimate debate about what type of arrangement we have after we have left and that is what this is about. there are passionate views on both sides but we have to listen to the whole country including those, the 48% committee voted to remain. their voice as to be heard and that is what we see, something much more pragmatic which reflect the concerns of everybody including those who voted to leave but want to retain close ties with the eu. we recognise that people that if we don‘t do that, there will be serious knock—on effects for our economy. and looking through some of the comments from borisjohnson, people saying it was vitriolic in the terminology. he said the dream brexit is dying, so by needless doubt, leaving the uk

like eight colony —— suffocated by needless doubt. he will not be the only person who sees it that way. the trouble is that there were many like borisjohnson who sold brexit ona like borisjohnson who sold brexit on a false prospectus. they copy but it would be easy and people would be queueing up to do deals with is —— they told people it would be easy. his version has come up against brexit reality and that is what we‘re talking about. there are inevitably trade—offs. if you have a com plete inevitably trade—offs. if you have a complete walk away then i‘m afraid there are very serious knock—on effects as we have heard from a series of major industries and that isjobs, employment, series of major industries and that is jobs, employment, bringing series of major industries and that isjobs, employment, bringing in the money that pays for everything we ca re money that pays for everything we care about. if you want to have a walk away brexit, that kind of dream that it walk away brexit, that kind of dream thatitis walk away brexit, that kind of dream that it is britain alone in the world, iam that it is britain alone in the world, i am afraid there are serious

consequences that come with that and thatis consequences that come with that and that is what it is about. it is recognising, theresa may has been clear she is sticking with the principles that drove the vote for brexit but also acknowledging that there are inevitably trade—offs you have to make to protect important things like the medicine supply chain so when you take a prescription to be pharmacy it is on the shelf. thank you very much for your time this morning. we are in westminster this morning and that cabinet meeting is coming up later on. we have been blessed with slightly better weather this morning. but the cloudy conditions are across the rest of the country. carroll has the details at wimbledon. it is breezy here as well and that has taken the edge off the temperature. what a view of centre court. this is what it is like when

you come down to what some fabulous tennis. the seating capacity here is just short of 15,000. on any day there is a groundswell of 39000 and thatis there is a groundswell of 39000 and that is a large proportion of that number. it is breezy here as well, a fair bit of cloud but some blue sky as well but not temperatures like yesterday when it was 30.7 celsius here. the forecast for wimbledon todayis here. the forecast for wimbledon today is nothing like that, a high of 24 with a noticeable breeze and a cool breeze but it should stay dry also the forecast for us all is cloudier than we have been used to and also cooler across—the—boa rd. looking at the forecast at nine o‘clock, you can see the extent of the cloud cover in the north and east in particular. in scotland, it is thick enough in the north for some showery outbreaks but we don‘t all see it. in dumfries and galloway

thatis all see it. in dumfries and galloway that is where you hang on to the sunshine the longest. in northern ireland, a cold but bright start, temperatures fell down to two celsius. cloud will develop through the day and in northern england, eastern part and into east anglia and kent and towards london and the east midlands, a fair bit of cloud but here and there some sunny spells rather like here. moving westward and that is where you have clearer skies. still some fair weather cloud and fresher than yesterday. across england and wales you will notice the breeze. we could have the odd shower across parts of south west england and wales, just a risk, and the rain will be on and off in the far north of scotland but showery. away from that, dry with top temperatures of 24 or 25 in the south—east but generally in scotland, northern england and northern ireland, the mid to high teens and low 205 as we come a bit

further south. this evening and overnight, still a fair bit of cloud and the rain peps up in western scotla nd and the rain peps up in western scotland and northern ireland. some clear spells as well and overnight lows between ten and 15 and locally a bit lower. tomorrow we start with a bit lower. tomorrow we start with afair bit a bit lower. tomorrow we start with a fair bit of cloud, rain in western scotla nd a fair bit of cloud, rain in western scotland and northern ireland, easing in the north—west of scotland. the risk of some showers in essex, kent and sussex but apart from that a brighter day than today with more sunshine and sunny spells. temperatures are rising a bit. by thursday, the northern part of the country, scotland, northern ireland and northern england will have more cloud and the odd shower. again, not all of us will have them and moving south, back into sunny spells and largely dry with temperatures climbing a bit more. that is the case coming into the weekend, temperatures continuing to rise. by

sunday some parts of the south could be 29 or 30 and looks at the moment like wimbledon could remain dry right the way through to the final. thank you. i was just distracted by the live shots from repino with the england team looking, as we have become accustomed to in the last few weeks, very relaxed ahead of this crucial... i‘m not sure that even using a football at this stage! i‘m not sure what it is. i am told it is a rubber chicken they are throwing around! they are very relaxed ahead of the crucial semifinal which is of course at seven o‘clock tomorrow night. iam course at seven o‘clock tomorrow night. i am sure so many of you will be watching and what has been striking in the last few weeks is these young men, playing for the country and the relaxed way in which

they have approached their training. the last shot of harry kane. hopefully smiling and he will continue to keep on smiling. we will cover that of course over the next 24 hours. more than 100 aircraft will fly in formation over buckingham palace at lunchtime today, as the highlight of the raf‘s centenary celebrations. it‘s the largest display of air power in nearly 30 years and will be watched by the queen and other members of the royal family alongside thousands of spectators. this is the scene this morning at horse guards parade. the head of the raf, air chief marshall sir stephen hillier, joins us from there to tell us more. this is an extraordinarily difficult logistical operation so tell us what is happening and what will be the highlight? good morning. as you say,

it isa highlight? good morning. as you say, it is a tremendously complex thing we have brought together, a combination here one horse guards parade of a static display of aircraft from throughout the history of the raf. we have had 43,000 visitors in the last four days. today we have the parade down the mall, the presentation of our new colour by her majesty at buckingham palace and the fly past you mentioned. i don‘t think i can pick a highlight! it is the whole thing, the whole royal air force family coming together and all of those who support us, whether you fly aircraft or maintain it, it is a team effort. and how important from your point of view to be marking this centenary like this? it is hugely important. we are the world‘s oldest independent airforce, we have we are the world‘s oldest independent air force, we have such a rich history of achievement and courage and sacrifice and it is only

right we reflect on those first 100 yea rs of right we reflect on those first 100 years of service but also important to celebrate what we do today and who we are as an organisation. and to look forward to the future and inspire the younger generations to be part of that raf story and to seize their ambitions wherever they might like. and looking at the future, what do you make of how much is being invested in the raf and the aircraft? should it be changed? we are an extremely busy royal air force at the moment, we have 15 operations in 23 countries right now and are hugely committed but i also had to look to the future as well. the world seems a more frightening place. i think we need more capabilities to deal with that. you put together that combination of the business at the moment and the pressures it puts on our capabilities and what we have to do in the future, and i do think that we need to invest further. and as it

investment in aircraft, personnel as well? absolutely. we have an exciting modernisation programme we are running in terms of our aircraft capabilities and that is taking us into the next generation of edfors but we will be nothing unless we continue to recruit the outstanding men and women we had in the royal air force and we had to do that into the future and invest in their skills and capabilities. things have changed so much of course in the last 100 years. what has been most significant? that is a difficult question to answer! i think our predecessors 100 years ago would be absolutely astounded by our air and space and cyber capabilities today but i think they would be reassured in many ways. reassured that the spirit and character and ethos of the royal air force that they set up

100 years ago continues to be at our heart. i suppose this is a difficult question as well but is there a particular aircraft you will be looking out for and looking forward to seeing? all the aircraft we have on display will be fantastic, a great representation of our capabilities and the men and women who operate and make sure they can fly. i do have to say there is a particular part of me that is the tornado, which i have flown for most of my raf career, still deployed in operation right now but will do out of service next year after 37 years of service next year after 37 years of front—line service so there is a pa rt of front—line service so there is a part of me which is always in the tornado force anything that is the one which will mean most to me today. thank you very much, i know it will be an extraordinary day. thank you for your time this morning. you can catch coverage of the celebrations on bbc one with sophie raworth straight after breakfast at 09:30am this morning. you‘re watching

breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning... this is the scene at wimbledon on ladies quarter—finals day. as the top ten seeds all fell in the early rounds, sally will be asking the simple question — can anyone stop serena williams? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. we‘ve got some noticeable changes in the weather today. for many of us it will feel much fresher this morning compared to recent mornings. and there‘s quite a bit of clouds around at the moment as well. it‘s going to feel cool into this afternoon, we‘ve broken the run of 16 consecutive days where temperatures

have been above 28 degrees somewhere in the uk. but for this morning, quite a bit of clouds coming in from northern areas, so many of us waking up to some rather grey skies. but the best of the sunshine today, i think, will be across northern ireland and wales, the west midlands into central, southern and south—western parts of england. with that cloud across northern and eastern areas, we‘ve even got some rain affecting the far north of scotland. for most others it is dry at least as we go into the afternoon, but significantly fresher at wimbledon today. for most of us it is dry at least. —— for most of us it is dry at least. maximum temperature only getting up to about 20 to 24. and quite widely across southern areas those temperatures much lower than yesterday. there will be some sunshine breaking through the cloud into the afternoon, those are typical temperatures, 17 to 21 celsius in northern areas, 22 to 24 degrees further south. through this evening tonight, they‘ll still be cloud across scotland, still some outbreaks of rain which actually could turn quite heavy

across the west of scotland and eventually into the east of northern ireland, going into the early hours of wednesday morning. we‘ve got a fresh night once again, those temperatures in the towns and cities down to about ten to 14 degrees, but in rural spots it will be chillier. this is wednesday, we could see some rain. quite heavy at times across eastern parts of northern ireland, western scotland. elsewhere a drier day on the wet and stay. —— al—sadr, a dry your day on wednesday. some bright spells coming through, but again quite a bit of cloud on the wednesday. maximum temperature is rising slightly across southern parts, up into the mid—205 here. further north again, those temperatures in the high teens to the low 205. that‘s all from me, have a good day, goodbye. this is business live from bbc news, with sally bundock and ben thompson. theresa may vows to fight on as two of the uk‘s top ministers resign over her brexit strategy. live from london, that‘s our top story on tuesday the 10th ofjuly. this is the scene live
