7:02 am
president of the united states. not everyone was pleased to see him. some people came to the beach at turnbery telling him he is not welcome at his own resort. much rather be doing something else but when something like this happens, you have to turn up. yesterday, there were protests around the country. police estimate 9000 came to the carnival of resistance in edinburgh. near his other golf course in aberdeenshire, another gathered. hello, glasgow. first minister nicola sturgeon did not meet president trump. she led the pride march in glasgow. the trump estate provides jobs in the villages and has poured millions of pounds into the economy. this man lives across the road. he says they should be made to be welcome. just normal scottish and british good manners.
7:03 am
we should have good manners and welcome them. he was invited here. he didn'tjust decide to come. a visit from the president of the united states was never going to be low—key. the security, road blocks, and checkpoints, will all soon be cleared as donald trump head off to helsinki later today. catriona joins us now from turnberry. even at the seclusion of his own golf course, he could not get away from protests. it is a private visit. we have been told that clearly. no official engagements. if we see the president it will be a surprise. we saw him yesterday on the golf course. protesters got close to him. he looked relaxed and waved to them. he also had a protest to get close to him when he arrived on friday evening. they got right to
7:04 am
the front just within yards of the president. he seemed relaxed in the face of the protest. 0ther president. he seemed relaxed in the face of the protest. other people in the village made him feel welcome because of the investment he has put into the area. whether or not we will see him today, that is another question. what we will see him do next is get ready for his meeting with vladimir putin. we do not know what is on the meeting agenda but it has something to do with improving relations between the two countries. we will see him play golf later today. you told us in the last hour about the wedding going on in the hotel. a sideshow to this, but give us hotel. a sideshow to this, but give us the headlines. it is an amazing story for one couple. i think that is it. karl amon lindsay were
7:05 am
getting married in the hotel yesterday. they were warned there was every possibility the president of the united states could drop in on their wedding. i do not know if he did not, but we spoke to the celebrant. he said it was difficult to get through security and was nearly late. he got there in time and said my goodness what an occasion. another footnote, and said my goodness what an occasion. anotherfootnote, the pa rents of occasion. anotherfootnote, the parents of the bride apparently stayed in the room next to donald trump. incredible. thank you. make of that what you will. more on that to come. theresa may is warning members of her own party that they are putting brexit at risk. some long—standing leave campaigners are unhappy with her plans, which propose a common rulebook with the eu for goods. let's get more from our political correspondent, nick eardley. good morning. theresa may is very much on the attack. a stark warning
7:06 am
to her colleagues this morning. that isafair to her colleagues this morning. that is a fair assessment. another big week for theresa may and for brexit. it feels like all of them are. two rig votes in parliament, if youjim cousins arrangement with the european union and one of future trade plans with the eu. theresa may will face pressure from both sides, her own party, thinking the plan gives them too close a relationship with the eu, and others who believe it does not keep us close enough. we know that the prime minister thinks this plan that she thrashed out with most of the cabinet last week gives the best of both worlds, protecting trade and also giving them freedom to do the things she wants to do. we are seeing in the papers that she is saying we could ultimately end up with no brexit at all if that is not
7:07 am
delivered. thank you. stay with us this morning because andrew marr will be speaking to theresa may at 9am on bbc one. the minister for small business andrew griffiths has resigned from the government, after it emerged he sent text messages of a sexual nature to two women in his constituency. mr griffiths, who's mp for burton, has issued an apology and says he's deeply ashamed. he once served as theresa may's chief of staff. the palestinian militant group, hamas, says it has agreed a truce with israel, after the latest round of clashes in gaza. israel says it's carried out its most significant air strikes on the gaza strip since 2014, but it has declined to comment on any mention of a ceasefire. more than 400 items have been recovered by police investigating the death of a woman who was poisoned by the novichok nerve agent. dawn sturgess died after she and her partner charlie rowley were exposed to the chemical last month. mr rowley remains in a critical condition. police warn that searches of the area in wiltshire could last months. england's footballers fly home today
7:08 am
after finishing fourth in the world cup. the team will land at heathrow airport this afternoon, around the same time as the final between france and croatia gets underway. from russia, david 0rnstein reports. this isn't how england hoped it would end. though as the dust settles, they will reflect on a remarkable journey that should help positively shape the future of the national sport. in a game neither side really wanted to be playing but both hoped to win, belgium were quick to showcase their devastating attacking ability. harry kane squandered a fine opportunity to equalise. after half—time, eric dyer looked certain to score until tony aldeveireld intervened.
7:09 am
jordan pickford kept them in contention, only for the mercurial eden hazard to expertly seal the win. a bronze medalfor the so—called golden generation, their best ever world cup placing for them. we gave it everything. it is not how we wanted to finish, but it shows we have room for improvement and a lot to do. a great tournament for us. ultimately, then, it is disappointment for england, who depart russia wondering what might have been. yet their overall performance, their sense ofjoy, and the reconnection with their long—suffering supporters suggest that success might not be too far away. today, the attention turned to moscow, liverpool's biggest today, the attention turns to moscow, the biggest prize is to be decided. france, firm favourites. but the competition full of surprises, croatia will try to cause one last upset.
7:10 am
david 0rnstein, bbc news, saint petersburg. 0ur moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, is in the russian capital. sarah, are the locals supporting croatia or france in today's final? england will not win. croatia or france. in some ways, after the build up, talk of possible trouble ahead of the world cup, in many ways, russia will regard itself as the winners. i think that is right. a lot of coverage of many of the problems in russia, the politics, the hugely difficult relationship between the uk and russia. as you mentioned, the problems of hooliganism and racism in russia. that has not gone away. there are problems with that in russia. but the world cup focus has been different. the whole country, moscow in particular, has in transformed by the event. we have talked to people saying it is notjust foreigners seeing a different russia, the
7:11 am
russians themselves. we will put that in context. before the world cup, if anyone came to the red square and try to unfurl a flag, i have seen team flags unfurled here, they would be stopped immediately by police. it is seen as political activity. for the last month, we have seen people from all over the world with flags, singing and dancing in the streets. the police known for their brutality, we have seen them smiling and taking selfies with football fans. the question is whether that last after the world cup or if it is only for this month. definitely. thank you. as donald trump prepares to leave scotland this afternoon, his next stop on his tour of europe is helsinki, where he'll meet the russian president vladimir putin. so, what effect has his
7:12 am
few days in the uk had on the "special relationship"? let's talk to sebastian payne, political reporter at the financial times. good morning. is it intact, the uk and us special relationship? the favourite topic. every time a president comes here we have some introspection. i think they think it is gone as well as it could. flirtation with france and germany and other european allies, and ultimately, donald trump has had better links with theresa may. the us is so unpredictable so we did not know what he will do. his interview with the suns made people wonder what will happen. 0ut with the suns made people wonder what will happen. out of all the drama and glitz and glamour, there
7:13 am
was not a lot of substance to the visit. they talked roughly about trade, a bit about brexit, a bit about security. but theresa may, i do not know what she achieved. 0ur relations as good as they can be with a volatile and dramatic resident mike donald trump? the special relationship is not as close as it has been? i remembered the summit in singapore with kim jong—un. a i remembered the summit in singapore with kimjong—un. a lack of detailed. when you think about what has been agreed, talked about, in terms of trade between the uk and the us, are we any more clear on what might happen? a lot of stuff has been happening behind the scenes ever since brexit and people from whitehall shuffling backwards and forwards to get the foundations down forwards to get the foundations down for a trade deal. donald trump was right, absolutely right, the prime
7:14 am
minister should work harder to do a treaty with the us because she has said agriculture and goods will still be aligned with the eu. for the us, that is not something in their interest. when he said that it was actually bang on. we do not know where brexit will play out on what it will look like and how close the uk will remain to the eu. donald trump said he wanted to do a deal. a lot of things about this president. he loves drama and press conferences. i do not think he loves policy trade details but what about the commons about borisjohnson saying he would make a great prime minister and that theresa may is excellent. it was astounding. he said all of the things he said in
7:15 am
the interview with the sun are true, then he called the fake news. it ta kes then he called the fake news. it takes quite a lot of nerve to stand beside the prime minister and say borisjohnson would be better as a prime minister. there is a special chemistry between borisjohnson and donald trump. you can see why they have been together a lot. they share hairstyles. donald trump believes theresa may is a weak prime minister. it could be problematic for her to get some progress. in a way he wants to help her. that is what you saw in the press conference. you what you saw in the press conference. you can what you saw in the press conference. you can imagine more warmth if 0risjohnson became prime minister. theresa may is not a natural bedfellow. you cannot imagine him popping down to berkshire or are going to
7:16 am
mar—a—lago. different people. at the dinner there were reports that together and spent or even in talking to each other so they were well prepared and so on that level the special relationship is better thanit the special relationship is better than it was a few days ago. sebastian, fact check, i want to know if unit officially if they do share the same hairdresser.” know if unit officially if they do share the same hairdresser. i think borisjohnson share the same hairdresser. i think boris johnson probably get share the same hairdresser. i think borisjohnson probably get his hair chopped somewhere in north london and donald trump would be somewhere in new york. unless there is someone going across the atlantic, it may not be the same hairdresser but if you look at them, there is a certain similarity there. thank you for pointing that out, sebastian. he styles of the most important thing, aren't they? —— hair. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. a little bit of rain on the way for some of the gardeners? thank fully after such a long time! can you believe actually thought of starting
7:17 am
to pray for rain? it is the summer, we wa nt to pray for rain? it is the summer, we want things like this, this is suffolk, i love this, some missed first thing in the morning, not a cloud in the sky and you know what kind of day you will get and you will get a hot and sunny one across eastern england but just will get a hot and sunny one across eastern england butjust as beautiful if not a little bit threatening across ireland this morning, dark clouds and rain on its way. this is the weather front pushing into the north—west, bringing outbreaks of rain to a —— scotla nd bringing outbreaks of rain to a —— scotland and northern ireland but it will take its time doing so and we are under the influence of high pressure which is bringing in this relight south—westerly breeze but more importantly a very warm west source at the moment so the story through the day, clouding over maybe eastern scotland and downs of the border at dry during daylight and some cloud across north—west england and wales may draw out the odd shower but elsewhere, it is hot dry and sunny, particularly through central and eastern areas. slightly
7:18 am
less hot further north and west, 17— 23. but because the highs maybe 30 degrees plus. for wimbledon, 23. but because the highs maybe 30 degrees plus. forwimbledon, it could be the hottest men's final they for a few decades which is really quite incredible, 31 degrees, very hot indeed. sunscreen and sun hats at the ready if you are lucky enough to be heading to wimbledon. three evening, partly a cloud in the sky across the eastern england but the weather front will gradually drifted way steadily eastwards, bringing some rain with it at all we can offer little and we will see showery outbreaks lingering first thing on monday morning. that will be across eastern scotland, north—west england, down through wales, perhaps a rumble of thunder mixed in as a bumps into the warm humid air in the south—east corner. the last hot humid story down through central and eastern areas for a few days and behind it,
7:19 am
somewhat cooler and fresher but i do wa nt to somewhat cooler and fresher but i do want to point out that still, it isn't going to be too bad, ixion— isn‘t going to be too bad, ixion— 20, 68 fahrenheit. —— 16. it will bring us any substantial rain of the garden as it pushes its way across southern england but it will introduce the fresher air. for most of us, it is actually still going to produce decent weather, some sunshine coming through and still temperatures in some areas low to mid 20s. it would be happy without the normal summer ‘s day. back to you. louise, thank you! les dawson wasn'tjust a comic genius, he was also a very bad piano player. in fact, it took a certain kind of brilliance to be quite so terrible. he made it sound but he was playing it badly but he was actually a really good pianist. his work has now been immortalised by the national orchestra of wales, which is performing his distinctive style alongside pieces by rachmaninov and shostakovich.
7:20 am
0ur arts correspondent david sillito went to meet the man behind the les dawson 0verture. meet composer thomas hyde and the opening to his new overture, les at leisure. that final note captures it. the musical genius of les dawson. plays off key. and for anyone unaware of the master ros special approach to the piano, here area special approach to the piano, here are a few of his greatest moments. plays off key. you were a big admirer of les? yes.
7:21 am
do you admire him now more that you have tried to do this? absolutely, because it is trying to understand it from tech core level and what is so it from tech core level and what is so interesting... (t e is it from tech core level and what is so interesting... cte is a it from tech core level and what is so interesting... (t e is a skilled musician? yes. yes it is. yes, to be this bad you have to have real skill. and so a little masterclass in the genius of les. if i for example do this... yes. 0k, in the genius of les. if i for example do this... yes. ok, you suddenly realise i have gone wrong. but it wasn't necessarily particularly funny so for example if ido particularly funny so for example if i do this... then it starts to become, as it were, a les barrie gavin of the music. what would be the perfect version of him? -- dawsonification. he would carry on
7:22 am
regardless as if he were completely unaware of what had happened. so for example... backseat! —— is it! unaware of what had happened. so for example... backseat! -- is it! it is a special skill but let's also saying and so, tom brought along patrick. he was here to show us, in this football moment, the true dawson style. i think that is probably enough. let's end with this, a little bit of the les overture in its full orchestral glory. brilliant. it is fantastic. to borrow a quote from another famous comic, all of the right notes but
7:23 am
not necessarily in the right order. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. you knew what was coming. mathematician bobby seagull is here to tell us what's caught his eye. afamiliar a familiarface a familiar face because a familiarface because bobby, you are the man who has put naga and jane and the team through their paces. it was brave of them to take it on and a chance of them to be re— educated but also an opportunity for the nation to understand the journey that students have to go through and the importance of numbers to our country. are you confident ahead of what is it? august 23 we will be in uxbridge to pick up the results. everything will be ready. you do not sleep at all the night before, do you? and all of the pupils getting their... crosstalk. you have your waistcoat on. normally as a teacher
7:24 am
the kids are used to me seeing a jacket and tie combinations have made think what is mr seagull doing? and your bottom button is unbuttoned? you are looking very good. you have picked up a story in the story before the sun newspaper today, the fantastic four, talking about the world cup? we have come with low expectations and we had the 2014 world cup, losing two games and exiting at the group stage in 2016 the debacle against iceland so expectations were pretty low and we have come to the world cup admitting that we had a good draw the semifinals and is now in the sun they are talking about potentially at 2030 bit of football may not have come home this time but in 12 years, it could be, so they are bidding potentially for the world cup then. 0urteam is potentially for the world cup then. our team is looking good, another four years... absolutely. even if people are not football fans are just wrong people in in a national
7:25 am
celebration, you have seen the different parts, on the trains, a uniting point. it has been lovely. sunday times, you have picked up this honour kids should be doing seven tasks are day before going online and i get this because i grew up, not when we had an ipad or anything but mum and dad had a corner shop and we worked in it and did more than seven tasks are they to set up the job and did more than seven tasks are they to set up thejob and a did more than seven tasks are they to set up the job and a good training round, ithink. students nowadays are thought to have digital, they have grown up from a young age being on the tablets and ipads and again, getting them to do something a part from the sadistic to suggest that kids do things like get ready, get changed, and it sounds obvious but it will wake up and get their phone up and sit on their bedsjust and get their phone up and sit on their beds just scrolling through their beds just scrolling through their seeds of instagram, twitter, facebook, kids to do something apart from that, my kids break up in
7:26 am
summer, july 23, and there are five or six weeks and kids can regress, when they come back the first lesson after the holidays they have forgotten mathematics and their spelling has gone way woods are getting them to engage somehow, to have a routine, is important. playing a board game, reading and look, doing household chores, stacking the dishwasher, collecting dry—cleaning and taking the job for a walk are examples here. them to do things apart from— runtimes of myself on a sunday morning if i do not have a routine. my phone checking a couple of tweaks and instagrams and an hour later i am still in bed and i go 0k, instagrams and an hour later i am still in bed and i go ok, i need to get up, if adults do that... you can tell you are a certain age your instagram. iam tell you are a certain age your instagram. i am that parent to agonise is what to do and takes them away and lock them in a cupboard. not the children, their devices. boaty mcboatface, it never was, but sir david attenborough launched this ship yesterday, the rss sir david
7:27 am
attenborough. this story epitomises the beauty of being british, they have the world cup with a joyous outpouring of national celebration and this again, i cannot imagine many other countries that would have selected boaty mcboatface but we did, but thankfully i think the organisers said they needed a serious name for a serious boat they come up with david attenborough in the end and that was a great dedication to the naturalist. the end and that was a great dedication to the naturalistm the end and that was a great dedication to the naturalist. it was only a matter of time before we talked about this, the thai cave rescue being turned into a film. i mean, hollywood will be jumping all over themselves to get the rights. hollywood loves a story where there is adversity and tragedy as well because we mustn't forget that one person died in the rescue operation, but ultimately the 12 boys and their coach were rescued and i think hollywood sees a film in the making. they talk about the rights and obviously i don't understand movie rights but you would think it is a story at who owns the rights to it?
7:28 am
can you notjust race to get the film made? i suppose i would imagine trying to get access to the boys... to their story. to those involved in their rescue and to try to have them all to yourselves if you are a director or producer, i would think. and nowadays with online streaming services you cannot just assume it will be a film that comes on the big screen. will be a film that comes on the big screen. it could be on our luck tops rather so there are lots of different options. thank you so much! will see you in one hour. keep your west coast on. but for waistcoat. andrew marr follows us at 9 o'clock this morning on bbc one. what's in store, andrew? you have theresa may or? i do indeed but others too. if england had a voice it will be alan bennett and he joins me to talk about the health service to ageing and much else. if london had a voice, well, it does, it is the mayor sadiq khan who was joining me as well to talk about the donald trump protest and began much
7:29 am
else including stabbings and crime in the city. and indeed in a week where she can see not one but two resignations and has undergone the toe curling exchange and press conference at chequers with donald trump, iamjoined conference at chequers with donald trump, i am joined by the conference at chequers with donald trump, iamjoined by the prime minister theresa may to explain the new version of how to exit the eu. it promises to be an interesting interview! thank you. coming up in the next half hour, we'll meet the southern koalas coming to the uk from australia, making them the only ones of their kind in europe. stay with us. headlines coming up. hello. this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and babita sharma. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. donald trump will leave the uk later after spending a second night in scotland. the us president will fly to helsinki where he'll meet the russian president vladimir putin. his stay at his turnberry resort in ayrshire has been met by protests locally, while thousands of people marched through edinburgh. theresa may is warning members of her own party that they are putting brexit at risk. some long—standing leave campaigners are unhappy with her plans, which propose a common rulebook with the eu for goods. writing in the mail on sunday,
7:30 am
the prime minister urges mps to "keep their eye on the prize." but in the sunday times the former brexit secretary david davis says brussels has been offered too many concessions. the minister for small business andrew griffiths has resigned from the government, after it emerged he sent text messages of a sexual nature to two women in his constituency. mr griffiths, who's mp for burton, has issued an apology and says he's deeply ashamed. he once served as theresa may's chief of staff. the israeli military has carried out further air strikes against hamas militant positions in gaza. it said the operation was in response to cross—border fire from the palestinian side. hamas has suggested that the two sides have reached a truce, after israel carried out major strikes on targets in the territory yesterday. more than 400 items have been recovered by police investigating the death of a woman who was poisoned by the novichok nerve agent.
7:31 am
dawn sturgess died after she and her partner charlie rowley were exposed to the chemical last month. mr rowley remains in a critical condition. police warn that searches of the area in wiltshire could last months. the troubled rail operator govia thameslink is introducing its third new timetable in two months, promising it will be more robust and reliable. passengers on the company's lines, which include southern, thameslink, and great northern, have suffered severe disruption since an overhaul of the schedule in may. the operator says the new timetables will be in place until additional services can be re—introduced. some extraordinary pictures now from a rescue on mount hood in the us state of oregon. a chinook helicopter was called in to help a climber who had got into distress. the pilot landed with just two wheels on the mountain at 11,000 feet.
7:32 am
the state's national guard was scrambled to get the rescuers and the climber on board, before taking off again. the man is now recovering in hospital. astonishing skill. he is now recovering. that is amazing. i have seen one up close recovering. that is amazing. i have seen one up close it is huge. just incredible skill. time for all the sport. is that fred perry, that statue behind you? spot on. yes. the statue outside centre court. we talked about him a lot before andy murray changed history. this is a lovely place outside
7:33 am
centre courta posh area. you can see all of the hats and dresses in suits. we mentioned the he. it could be one of the hottest ever finals. —— heat. it is scorching. we are toasting a new name on the honours board, a new champion on centre court. angelique kerber. angelique kerber added to her us and australian open titles to win her third grand slam here at the all england club. serena williams was many people's favourite to win an eighth title here, but she never really found the power that we've grown so used to over the years and kerber took the first set 6—3. williams says she's still only at the start of her comeback after giving birth to herfirst child last september. and kerber got another break in the second set to take that 6—3, and become the first german woman to win here since steffi graf in 1996. at the end, i was starting to get quite nervous.
7:34 am
i had to take my first chance because you never know with her, she fights until the last one. it is just amazing. i cannot describe the feeling. as a child, i was dreaming of this moment. wimbledon is something special in my career. it was a great opportunity for me. i did not know a couple of months ago where i was, what i would do, how i could come back. it was such a long way to see the light at the end of the road, kind of. and so i think these two weeks have really showed me that, 0k, obviously, i can compete for a grand slam. now how about this from sweden's steffan 0lsson in the men's wheelchair doubles final — he loses balance and falls from his chair but remarkably recovers to win the point! in the end though, 0lsson and his partner,
7:35 am
belgium'sjoachim gerard were beaten by britain's gordon reid and alfie hewett. it was a third successive wimbledon doubles title for the pair. so, to today's men's final, and both novak djokovic and kevin anderson will have to dig deep into their energy reserves after the two longest semi finals in history. after anderson took 6.5 hours to win his semi, djokovic took more than five hours to beat rafael nadal in a five set epic. he's now one match away from winning his first grand slam title since 2016. there's british interest in today's boy's final. jack draper beat the colombian nicolas mejia in the longest match in wimbledon's boys history
7:36 am
to book his place in the final, the three setter went on for four hours 24 minutes. standing between draper and his dream of becoming the first british boy to win the title since 1962 is world junior number one, chinese taipei's chun hsin tseng. after a month of highs and lows, in which they banished the nightmare of penalty shoot outs, and allowed the country to dream again, england head home later this morning. they finished the tournament with a pretty disappointing 2—0 defeat to belgium in the thrid—fourth place play off in st petersburg. the belgian's took the lead early, and then rounded things off in the second half thanks to chelsea's eden hazard. a best ever finish then for the belgians, and england's best since 1990, but with plenty of promise for the future. in the end, we are very proud of what we have done.
7:37 am
we are under no illusions as to where we stand as a team. we have finished in the final four but we are not a top four team yet. we know that and have never hidden behind that. against the very best teams we have come up short. umm, but we have had a wonderful adventure and some experiences that will stand this group of players and staff in really good stead for the future. and i could not ask any more of the players today or right the way through the seven weeks we have in together. so football's not coming home, but it might be heading next door. france have the chance join an elite club, that of multiple world cup winners, when they take on croatia later in moscow. when france won the world cup in 1998, they beat croatia in the semi—final. if they are to recreate that triumph of 20 years ago, they'll be looking to theur toung star, kylian mbappe, to be at his best.
7:38 am
what a difference a couple of days make in english cricket. after their heavy defeat to india on thursday — england were under pressure, needing a win to level the one day series and take it to a decider at headingley on tuesday. but england weren't the only ones under pressure, during the 24th over in england's innings, the cameras panned to the crowd where a supporter proposed to his girlfriend, thankfully she didn't take too long to accept. so a happy day for that fan and a good one for england withjoe root‘s century helping them post a total of 322. india fell well short with england winning by 86 runs. mark cavendish is struggling for form at the tour de france, he hasn't won a stage this year and was eighth yesterday behind dylan groenewegen who won stage 8. team sky's geraint thomas remains second overall. jonny brownlee could only finish 4th
7:39 am
on his comeback event in the world triathalon series in hamburg. the two—time 0lympic medallist led at the start of the 5k but couldn't hold off the leader mario mola who claimed gold for the third successive year. and finally, how about this for a pre—season friendly. everton are in austria, where they have thrashed atv irdning 22—nil! it's marco silva's first game in charge as everton manager and this is the kind of start you want! some cracking goals, the pick of them this own goal. while it was all to easy for nikola vlasic scoring this one after the keeper practically gave up. you can't blame him really can you? not his day, was it?
7:40 am
did not get carried away, everton fans. it does not always mean you have a cracking start to the season. back at wimbledon, men's finals day. in these days of high technology and fa ncy in these days of high technology and fancy scoreboards i love the traditional scoreboards with the ladders which people will climb up today to put the name of kevin anderson or novak djokovic. can you climb up? i like climbing them because i am small and it is nice to because i am small and it is nice to be up high. but i do not think i can. novak djokovic, anderson, it is a tough one. novak djokovic is making a comeback. kevin anderson has more
7:41 am
recovery time. it will be another long one. i will go for novak djokovic. and i have to stick with france to win. that is why are you area giant france to win. that is why are you are a giant among sportsmen. australia's southern koalas have considerably larger and thicker fur than their northern neighbours, a feature that'll come in useful when they experience winter in britain. a group of six are to be brought from adelaide, to live at longleat safari park in wiltshire, making them the only ones of their kind in europe, as laura foster reports. they are abandoning australia and moving to wiltshire. when they five females and single male arrived, it will be the only place you can find southern koalas and the whole of europe, and it is hoped once they
7:42 am
settle into their new home in longleat, they will start to breed. they have a strict monitoring process of each individual kuala and the koalas as a group so we can actually identify their individuality and how it affects them. they are being brought to the uk because wildlife experts want to raise awareness about the problems koalas are facing. although not classed as endangered, koalas are recognised as vulnerable. since the middle of the 19th century, millions have been killed for theirfair. large portions of their habitat have been destroyed. wombats have kept him company on theirjourney and they will end up here at a new indoor and outdoor australia inspired enclosure at longleat safari park. their new home is not finished yet. there are clucas trees here for them to snack on during your —— eucalypt is. these have been
7:43 am
picked because they are perfect for koalas to sink claws into and scale all the way up. they can eat up to 500 kilograms of eucalyptus leaves ina single 500 kilograms of eucalyptus leaves in a single day. it is one of the reasons the team have been growing their own supply. we have faced challenges. we have the heavy snow backin challenges. we have the heavy snow back in march which has pushed us back in march which has pushed us back a bit. but since the nice sunshine has happened, they have started to sprout. it has become more positive. when these six very friends arrive in the autumn, it is hoped we can learn more about how to protect these iconic creatures. laura foster, bbc news, at longleat. idida laura foster, bbc news, at longleat. i did a drive to rest in australia earlier this year and you see koalas everywhere and this year they do not seem everywhere and this year they do not seem to be around as much. but if you get a chance to see them here, lovely. just before we get a look
7:44 am
at the forecast, let's have a look at what the recent heatwave has uncovered at one country house in lancashire. the recent heatwave has uncovered quite a few subterranean things of past years. the so—called "ghost garden" seen here was once a formal victorian garden in the grounds of gawthorpe hall, near burnley. it's thought the dryness of the soil underneath the lawns there have caused the outlines to re—emerge. look at that! that is really special, isn't it, to see that in the morning. amazing. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. it's interesting how — i heard someone it's interesting how — i heard someone talk about a world war two airfield being revealed because of the way the grass had dried. isn't mother nature amazing, all it is showing us in my garden is patches of dandelions, i have to say. not quite as exciting. the weather for
7:45 am
many is very exciting if you were trying to have an english or a british holiday because we have got some beautiful blue sky and some trying out their at the moment. we have seen quite an incredible few weeks, haven't we? lovely in devon. just as beautiful north and west but some rain across the highland, welcome rain for many, up into the far north—west will not be too much as it pushes south—east that it will introduce something a little bit more fresh if it is too humid at the moment, you will be pleased to hear it will get a little more bearable. this is where the rain is sitting, across the far north—west of scotla nd across the far north—west of scotland and northern ireland, read news for northern ireland where the river hosepipe and. the rain continues to drift steadily eastwards but it will weaken as it pushes its way through scotland today and it actual fact i suspect eastern scotland. relatively dry through daylight hours. we are going to see a great deal of fine weather. a lot of sunshine coming through and
7:46 am
a loss of heat across central and eastern areas. temperatures will peak at around 30 degrees. in the north—west with the cloud and showery rain, a little fresh. if we get 30 or 31 today in wimbledon it will be the warmest men's final day for decades. not quite as warm as 1976 but nevertheless, still quite incredible, and perhaps really uncomfortable for tennis playing. through the evening and tonight, those temperatures will fall away but not very far across central and southern areas. a band of rain pushes eastwards and again, it will wea ken pushes eastwards and again, it will weaken off, fragment in substantially and could trigger a view to read our boards as it bumps its way into the warm air. —— few. the potential through the spine of the country for more cloud through wales and the south—west england and a few scattered thundery showers likely as well but behind it somewhat fresher air, and much more bearable fields of things. still hot and humid down to the south—east. 29
7:47 am
or 30 not out of the question. is the front continues south and east and it will, it will have an impact across the country. no significant rain i'm afraid across the far south—east but temperatures back into the low to mid 20s through the middle of the week. louise, thank you. i think that means call for sleeping which is great. , cooler. we're back with the headlines at 8:00. now, it's time for click. file footage: the seconds wound down before the start, 24 drivers stamp hard on the throttle. formula 1 has been at the cutting edge of technology and design since its creation in 1946. welcome to the pit.
7:48 am
every year, teams compete fiercely to outdo each other in aerodynamics, data communications and materials — all with one aim — to make their cars go really, really fast. and they do a really good job of making them that, as we are finding out here at the austrian grand prix. lewis hamilton's ride. what's even more impressive is that this whole show is permanently on the road, with car, teams, engineers, and scientists moving from country to country and track to track. now, these are the most expensive motorhomes i've ever seen. each one of these is a lorry, and theyjust drive to the next formula 1, stick them together, zip, zip, zip, and that's ferrari's office for the length of the race. and ahead of the race here in spielberg, austria, the cars are being prepped, tweaked and tested round the clock.
7:49 am
mercedes are the current world champions and, like every other team here, they spend millions on their car and developing the technology that will hopefully win them the race. but what you see at any grand prix is just the tip of the iceberg, it takes hundreds of people to develop that technology. so we sent lara lewington to mercedes hq to find out what really goes into winning a race. away from the track, the people, the preparation, the planning, and the precision are pivotal. hi, i'm lara lewington from the bbc. hello. can ijust put security stickers on your phone? of course. for the cameras. no problem. thank you. so we're allowed to film here, but i mustn't take any pictures on my phone. there's clearly a lot at stake here, so it's no surprise that formula 1 is notoriously secretive, but today, we've got some behind—the—scenes access. this business is big
7:50 am
bucks and millimetres and milliseconds matter. this is known as chassis number five, last year's winning car. in fact, it hasn't even been cleaned since its last race in abu dhabi. but the thing that is most striking standing here next to it is the amount of detail there is everywhere throughout the car, and after each race, if there's something they're not happy with, it can be perfected. well, this was a winning car last year, so clearly it's been very successful, but you're obviously not happy with it because you're working on a new one, so what do you think needs to be improved? we're never happy with it, as you say, this is lewis's car from last year. it was the first car we made on the back of a really big regulation change. we worked really hard on all those little small bits you see around the car, which is all
7:51 am
the aerodynamic bits and pieces. it seems to be made up of lots of little small bits? yeah, every little bit has a job. and we put it into the wind tunnel, each one is all about optimising the airflow around the car. what we're not happy with a little bit is because we focused so much on that, we now need to do a lot on the packaging internally, to make it much tighter. the tighter you can get it, again, the better you can get the aerodynamics around the car. on top of that as well, we think we can do improvements around the cooling. those big black ducts in the side is where the air goes in to cool the engine. we think we can do some improvements around that area as well for next year. well, there's so much money at stake here. how much does it cost to create a car like this, from the beginning of the process all the way through? what sort of figure would you put on that? well, i can't tell you the exact figure, but i can tell you it's many, many millions. are we talking tens of millions? tens of millions. tens of millions? yeah, yeah. over 50 million? close. crikey, wouldn't want to pay the insurance premium on that. the operation here goes way beyond the car itself, though.
7:52 am
welcome to the race support room. meanwhile, this lot are busy practising at speed. over 250 of these trials take place ahead of the season. they make it look easy. 0h! oh, no. so loud, and it's meant to be so quick, but i clearly wasn't. meanwhile, spencer's already living life in the fast lane. thank you, lara, and by the way, this is how you really do it. this year, mercedes has got its pit stop down to an incredible 1.85 seconds, now that's quicker than it takes to say "1.85 seconds".
7:53 am
it's a finely tuned operation that the engineers practice over and over in the days before each race. it's a bit of a ballet and the ergonomics is quite important because there's 20—odd people around the car trying to do a job in two seconds and, you know, it's — if you start banging into people, then you're losing half a second or a second, and then the strategists can't get their numbers right, and then you don't get the position you need. the human element to this ultrafast manoeuvre is accompanied by technology, individually developed by each team. even the hydraulically powered wheel guns are a closely guarded secret. and i hear they're quite expensive? they are expensive and they have a life, because they run an awful lot of pressure. so we're changing the internals a great deal. do i hear about £30,000 each? i wouldn't know the exact cost, but that sounds quite low to me. laughter
7:54 am
right, we're going into mercedes's garage now. keeping the pit crew safe is of utmost importance. these lights, for example, let the crew know if the cars have become electrified, stopping them from getting more than a nasty shock. and then there's what goes into the cars — or, more specifically, what comes out of the cars, which is monitored by trackside labs and high—end scientific equipment. between every session, the cars are given the equivalent of a blood test. the oil and the fuel is taken to see if it's contaminated, and that might give you a clue as to the state of the engine. and that is done in the fuel lab. the oil is put into a spectrometer, which tests for different metals in the fluid. the amount of a specific metal present can reveal if a particular part of the engine is degrading too quickly. and actually, it looks like the most stressful job this week is being done byjen copestake,
7:55 am
our star in a reasonably priced, if somewhat weather—beaten, car. yes, spen, i'm braving this hurricane in cologne, germany, to experience europe's most advanced weather testing centre for cars. ford have built the $108 million facility to see how its most popular models fare against the most extreme conditions on earth, from altitude, high heat and humidity, snow and hurricane strength winds and driving rain. there are three wind tunnels here and it has the capability of testing up to three cars at once. well, i pretty much control these facilities and i conduct those tests. now we have, like, centres of relative humidity, for solar radiation, for the temperature, and for the airspeed, which is measured through differential pressure from the nozzle. first, we're going to see what it
7:56 am
might be like to drive your car in a rainforest. it gets up to 55 degrees in this room and the humidity can go up to 95%. this is one of four temperature—controlled test chambers, complete with birdsong and fake palm trees to simulate a tropical environment. it's baking in there. that is so hot. from extreme heat to extreme cold. oh, that's the snow room. these doors are really heavy. brr! it's about —17 in here right now. but the temperature can be set to go as low as —30. this is impressive. so it's testing the weight of the snow on the car. because this is actually a realistic situation in some parts of the world, to get a big snow boulder on the wing mirror. next we are going to see how cars are tested in hurricane conditions.
7:57 am
we have a climatic wind tunnel, so we always control the wind speed to simulate that the car is actually moving on the roads, we move the wind. so it's actually 156kph winds out there right now, it can go up to 160kph. it's testing the automatic function of the windscreen wipers, so whether or not there's an equal amount of time going between each blade. the tunnel doesn't just test the rain and the wind, but also the effect the sun has on the car in extreme conditions. it's set up with 28 spotlights with 4,000 watt bulbs to mimic the sunlight. the solar system is always interesting when it comes to heat loads that affect our powertrain and that affect the a/c performance. that really looks like being outside in bright sunlight. it pretty much brightens my day every time i can use it! the ability to test cars at high altitude while also simulating challenging weather conditions is the unique feature of the test centre. they can reach heights of 5,200 metres, as high as mount everest‘s northern base camp. engineers even have to take descent breaks when they finish working
7:58 am
in this tunnel. more than half of our vehicles are sold in markets globally with altitudes of more than 1,000 metres. we can also simulate you pulling a trailer up the hill, on different altitude levels, so testing the powertrain, regarding what is happening in terms of temperature, how is that developing, and making sure that the cars are safe. well, we've seen everything here, but i for one am looking forward to getting back to some nice british weather. that wasjen, and that's it from the austrian grand prix. this is the short version of click, though, so we have much more in the full version, which you can see on iplayer right now, and there are tons of photos on twitter too at @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. good morning.
7:59 am
welcome to breakfast, with rogerjohnson and babita sharma. 0ur headlines today... a break for president trump before his meeting with vladimir putin. but there's no escape from protestors — thousands demonstrate in edinburgh. theresa may warns conservatives to back her or risk ending up with no brexit at all. it wasn't to be for england. they sign off in russia with another defeat by belgium, but fly home with their heads held high. and we meet the southern koalas preparing to fly 10,0000 miles to start a new life in the uk. here at wimbledon, there's
