hello, glasgow! cheering. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, did not meet president trump. she led the pride march in glasgow. the trump estate provides jobs in the village and has poured millions of pounds into the local economy. john furlong livesjust along the road from trump turnberry. he says his neighbour should be made to feel welcome. i thinkjust normal scottish, british good manners, we should welcome him. 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, roadblocks and checkpoints will all soon be cleared as donald trump heads off to helsinki later today. catriona renton, bbc news, turnberry. catriona joins us now from turnberry. good morning. 0nly sign of donald trump this morning? this is a

private visit and we are not expecting any official engagements but we could see him yesterday on the golf course and protesters got quite close to him on the beach. he waved, he seemed relaxed. a protester got even closer on friday night, just after he arrived, the paraglider that went right in front of the hotel. we do not know if we will see him today. it will be a surprise if we do. rain at the moment so i do not know if that influences you can squeeze in a final round of golf before heading off to the important meeting in helsinki. donald trump is expected to leave here this afternoon and he will be taking to prestwick airport and he will fly to helsinki for the important meeting between him and the president of russia, vladimir putin. the question we are asking, will we get our last chance to see him or will he stay in the hotel with his special advisers swotting up with his special advisers swotting up ahead of the meeting?‘

with his special advisers swotting up ahead of the meeting? a side note about a couple exchanging files amidsta about a couple exchanging files amidst a possible surprise guest —— vows. amidst a possible surprise guest —— vows. this luxury hotel, a couple we re vows. this luxury hotel, a couple were exchanging their vows. we spoke to the humanist celebrant marrying them and he said he had to wait to get in, he was worried he would be late because of the security cordon is, but the couple had been told there was a possibility the president of the united states might drop in on their wedding, we do not know if he did, but we know that the bride's parents stayed in the room next to the trumps. something to talk about. or maybe not. something to boast about it at a dinner party, thatis to boast about it at a dinner party, that is for sure. 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 rule book with the eu for goods. let's get more from our political correspondent, nick eardley. good correspondent, nick eardley. morning, thank youf to good morning, thank you for talking to us. theresa may has written a piece today in the mail on sunday, she will be an andrew marr here on bbc one in an hour, the whole brexit conversation has got some way to play out yet? absolutely. another big week, two crucial votes in parliament this week and theresa may is facing pressure from both sides, those who think we need to stay closer to the eu, which she is proposing, and many in her own party who say we need a clean break, that what is on the table does not honour the referendum result. this morning she is trying to provide them with some resorts, saying, keep your eyes on the prize of delivering brexit.

—— some reassurance. ultimately, perhaps, she says it could lead to no brexit at all. she is also saying what is on the table is not a starting point, she thinks it is a com plete starting point, she thinks it is a complete plan that can be delivered in its entirety. we do not know whether the eu agree and whether it will be enough to placate some of her mps. thank you. england's footballers fly home today after finishing fourth in the world cup. the team will land at birmingham airport this afternoon, around the same time as the final between france and croatia gets under way. how about that timing? they will be thinking about what might have been. 0ur balkans correspondent, guy de launey, is in the croatian capital, zagreb. six hours until kick—off, how's the atmosphere there? pretty exciting, i imagine? people

are extremely excited, it has rained overnight, as you can probably see, but it will not dampen spirits. there was a thunderstorm in the semifinal victory over england, so people might see it as a big moment —— good omen. the great military hero there, new dress for the occasion, 100,000 people will be watching the match on the big screen over there at kick—off. it will be very messy. the newspapers are very confident indeed, this one saying, croatian magic, you might want to getan croatian magic, you might want to get an appointment with dejan lovren‘s orthodontist as well. free cd of songs that you can sing along with, the croatian football songs, they are looking forward to it. today we celebrate, that is what they are thinking here. this is

third time. speaking to a lot of croatian football journalists last night, they are tipping croatia for a win. of course. just wondering, any word about england, a bit of fondness is to mark my scraping the barrel? scraping the barrel, i'm afraid. people here were very happy they beat england, obviously. the people who have organised this, one of them, the fun event in the main square, the president of the croatian scottish society, he was wearing a t—shirt which said, i support three teams, croatia, scotla nd support three teams, croatia, scotland and anyone who is playing england. thank you. we will be back with you when the square., 100,000 watching it there. from social media, a lot of england fans, they wa nt media, a lot of england fans, they want croatia to win. i think you

we re want croatia to win. i think you were scraping the barrel, wondering if there was any sympathy for england. we will go to moscow in a minute. first of all... 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. 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. residents of a village in greenland have left their homes after an iceberg weighing 11 million tonnes drifted inland, prompting fears of a tsunami. local officials say they have never seen such a big iceberg before. they warn it could split in two, forcing a huge wave onshore. 260 billion tonnes of greenland's ice is lost to the ocean each year. quite something. wondering how it drifted inland, technically not possible. i think it is probably melting, making its way towards the shore line. rather worrying for eve ryo ne shore line. rather worrying for everyone there. for many football fans, russia 2018 has been the best world cup ever. for england, it saw the team's best performance since 1990. it has been pretty special. not quite as special as we might have wanted, if you support england of

course. france play croatia in the final this afternoon. let's take a look back at how england nearly brought football home. put in by captain kane! it is in from harry kane again! they've done really well. the expectation levels are through the roof now. brilliant harry kane. the edge of your seat is the best place to be. if you're 28 or under, you've never seen england get past this stage. and he does it! would you believe it? england win on penalties! the feeling grows stronger that football is coming home! we should've won tonight, man.

we should've beaten them tonight. fourth in the world. you can't complain about that. what a save by pickford! we've brought the nation back together, which i'm so proud of. i bet that has woken you up on sunday morning. live to moscow. david davies is a former fa executive director. thank you for your time. not to be, for england, but you will have been in this position many times before, will not once have i heard anyone question what the future holds for the manager at the tournament such as gareth southgate's solid position in the role. gareth has had, as

england have, wonderful world cup. it would be churlish to say anything other than that. he has exceeded expectations. 0n other than that. he has exceeded expectations. on and off the pitch. the team have done that on the pitch, crucially. the thing that stands out for me is that gareth was a player i was lucky enough to work with him, and he will has learnt the lessons of tournament football and of being part of a team, part of a squad, not playing in matches. i remember him in 2002, he went to japan and korea and did not play. i dug out some pictures last week of him coming with us to a temple, frankly taking up a bit of time and doing good pr, and he has learned the value of that in spades. he has come out with enormous credit. 0ne of final thought on england before

we talk about the tournament in general and the final today, are you optimistic for where the england football tea m optimistic for where the england football team now is?|j optimistic for where the england football team now is? i think eve ryo ne football team now is? i think everyone is optimistic. there is a little bit of me, yes, that says, has a great chance of winning a world cup again in my lifetime gone? i was there in 66, i will still be dining out on it, ifear. but still, you have to believe that it was a very young team and you have to believe it will get better. yes, if only harry kane had given us a 2—0 lead in the semifinal, what if? i am optimistic, yes. the atmosphere is starting to build behind you, i'm sure lots of croatians around as well, french flags, what promises to bea well, french flags, what promises to be a mouthwatering final. well, french flags, what promises to be a mouthwatering finallj well, french flags, what promises to be a mouthwatering final. i think it will be a very good final. i believe

the odds are slightly on france. but the odds are slightly on france. but the croatians have added an enormous amount to this tournament, everyone loves their kit and the colour they bring to it. a very small nation has made a dream come true. i think, yes, it will be a fantastic final. just 4 million people, world cup final. would you agree with what some people have said that in some ways the real winners are russia because we did not have any of the trouble expected and the tournament seems to have gone very well?m would be churlish to say other than it has been a wonderful world cup, on and off the pitch. whatever the awfulness of events in salisbury and their aftermath. you have to say that the russians have staged it so

willingly. have they been the beneficiaries? for sure. it willingly. have they been the beneficiaries? forsure. it will willingly. have they been the beneficiaries? for sure. it will be interesting to see what happens to tourism. exactly what happened to london in 2012, in the year after, it gives a boost to that. but for me, the great thing has been that it isa me, the great thing has been that it is a true world cup, it brings the world together. people here still talk about the duty number of south americans who came to this square, this town, russia. they will go home with pretty good memories very quickly. vladimir putin sets off today to meet donald trump in helsinki, last night he was at the ballet with the boss of fifa.|j understand that. i have been to the bolshoi in the past and it is a wonderful experience. but that is where football is in the world, you

saw the fantastic television audiences and the great achievement of this england team, if i may finish on this, has been to reconnect with the fans, the public. international football still matters, even in the days of the premier league and the fantastic football that our clubs play. we are very grateful to you for taking the time to talk to us. enjoy the final. former fa executive director. 26 in moscow at the moment, going to be hotter than that for the final. louise has got the weather for us. similar here? yes, even hotter across the uk today, another beautiful day. not much in the way of cloud around for many of us. there is a front bringing slow changes to the weather story across the uk. moving into the highlands, quite cloudy, outbreaks of rain. this weather front will gradually

introduce somewhat cooler, fresher weather, still pleasant summer sunshine and warmth, but not the extreme heat. we will continue to get that through today. bringing rain to northern ireland into the north west of scotland, some quite heavy. it will weaken as it pushes steadily eastwards. maybe eastern scotla nd steadily eastwards. maybe eastern scotland into the board is keeping some sunshine, clouding over this afternoon. lots of warm sunshine coming through. fair weather cloud across west wales by the end of the afternoon. hottest of the weather through central and eastern areas, temperatures widely into the high 20s, low 30 puma. maybe as far north as the vale of york, 30 degrees plus —— low 30s. much more comfortable night for sleep in scotland. wimbledon, it will be quite extreme, perhaps the warmest mend's final

date the 20 years, maybe more, 31 degrees likely this afternoon —— men's final day. showery rain moving across scotland into north—west england and wales. to the south, still an uncomfortable night for a good nights sleep. north—west, somewhat fresher conditions. some sunshine around across much of the north west of scotland and northern ireland, in comparison to today. maybe some of the showers thundery into the warm up air. central and eastern areas staying hot and sonny. the front will move to overnight into tuesday, introducing fresher airfor into tuesday, introducing fresher air for all, into tuesday, introducing fresher airfor all, probably into tuesday, introducing fresher air for all, probably good into tuesday, introducing fresher airfor all, probably good news, into tuesday, introducing fresher airforall, probably good news, but not bringing significant rain to central and southern areas. it

wea ke ns off central and southern areas. it weakens off so continue to see sunny spells but temperatures down into the mid—20s if we are lucky. that will be pleasant enough. not doom and gloom. never doom and gloom when you are on! roger, you are my favourite! she says that to everybody. of course. britain 5 biggest festival for gay women takes place in the seaside resort of llandudno this weekend. butjust how much has life and society changed over the past few decades? we invited some women and their families onto our sofa to share their stories. when did you come out? well, do you know, it's funny, that word, "come out", because i was thrown out, really, in the royal navy, you know, 1970. you're a lesbian, so you're out. i wouldn't come out when i was first teaching because i worked in a school and i worked with children.

how different it is now. yes. it's rather nice to be in the position i'm in now. yes. because i think once you come out, you come out. i came out as a vegetarian recently! do you know, that was more difficult! how old were you when mum came out? i was three years of age, so i haven't known any different. i've been spoiled, like, i've had a good life. for me and my kids, it was totally different, because i ended up having to leave home, and i left them with their father. how old were they when you left them? they were teenagers. but it's about the hardest thing i've ever done in my life, you know? and i've always said to them, "i've never left you, girls, i've left the home but i've never left you". at that time, you know, in the 80s, you know, i think they were a bit embarrassed about it all sort of thing, because i lived in suburbia, really, you can't find any lesbians... i did look!

did you realise when we got married that we were going to be the first in yorkshire, that we were going to be so high—profile and end up on bbc news at 10pm? no... one of the first, yeah, but not getting onto the news and things like that, that was quite a bit of a shock. and we had all of those people coming and talking to us like we were their long—lost best friend! yeah, yeah, that was weird! that was really strange. it was like, "hi, i'm so—and—so, you've never met me before, but my daughter's gay, would you like to have a conversation?" yeah, that was good. i grew up in a roman catholic family. my father is muslim and my mother is catholic. i grew up in a mormon household. i came out in front of six different psychologists, which was quite interesting! wow. it's one of those things where you kind of take the time to bring them into where you are, because they love you, it's just a matter of your lifestyle that they're not too fond of. i think for them, the tough thing was them thinking, "we don't want

you to have a difficult life." like, if we break it down to the basic things people want — we want to be loved, we want to be accepted, you know, we want to be respected. let's hug it out, my girls! where do you think we're at today? to be honest, i probably got bullied more for being ginger when i was younger! a5, 50 years ago, ijust never dreamt that this could happen. wow! yeah! there we go. i hope they've had a lovely weekend. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. mathematician bobby seagull is here to tell us what's caught his eye. plenty, indeed. good morning. loving the waistcoat. people expect to see me in the waistcoat. people expect to see meina the waistcoat. people expect to see me in a jacket and tie, in homage to mr southgate. .. absolutely. people

will know you because you have tutored the rest of the team through the maths gcse. 0ptimistic question what results on thursday, nervous wait till then. i remember when i picked up my gcse results, a local paper, clicking away. it was quite nerve—racking. idid not nerve—racking. i did not do gcses. 0 levels! this story is really important, the telegraph, global bullying code, really important because of how bullying has progressed into online, cyber—bullying. bullying has progressed into online, cyber-bullying. even myself as a student, bullying could happen in school, but then when you go home, thatis school, but then when you go home, that is the end. schools can deal

with it physically in school. now because of online technology, twitter, young children are finding that when they leave school, it is outside of the teachers‘ control. a scheme set up by facebook and snapchat were young kids can report bullying, but when they did, it would be suggested to call childline, but not one child called on the basis of this. the message is, important have schemes to tackle bullying, but kids do not pick up the phone, they message. they need another scheme. it is getting information across to kids. that there was the facility there. if it is not being advertised, how will they know? that is the key thing. a good idea, but we need to get the message out to kids more. as a teacher, i was not aware of the scheme. the right idea but needs to be... it is so hard because people like me of a certain age, would say,

just do not go on snapchat, but it is so much woven into the fabric of their lives. my younger brother, going to be a barrister, sensible young man, but he documents his life on instagram like lots of other young people, there is a pressure to have everything documented. the 0bserver, flags out for the scholars of st george‘s, writing about the fruits of england‘s world cup because of what the fa did would st george‘s park, trying to plan for the future. lots of credit goes to gareth southgate for getting the tea m gareth southgate for getting the team together, but there has been a long—term plan. germany, 2000, they came bottom of the european championship group. we came third, germany came fourth. germany decided to reva m p germany came fourth. germany decided to revamp the whole footballing structure and england did the same thing. we have had a lot of success, the women‘s team getting to the semifinal last year, the men‘s under

20 winning the world cup, we are building for the future. fingers crossed for four years time. we were talking about youngsters these days and maps and how they are proficient without a calculator, this is not interesting one —— and mathematics. the sunday express, millennials cannot cope with the money. this is saying that young people are overreliant on online technology but they do not print out things. the survey said young people, 80% of people do better when they print out state m e nts people do better when they print out statements and read things rather than online. when you get an attachment online, you scroll through. physical copy of a bank statement, you look more carefully, what is this outgoing? just a case of printing things out, it makes a difference, rather than online. 4096 of uk adverts say the removal of

paper statements could affect their finances. online things, be honest, how many people click on the attachment? they are quite small on your phone. physical paper is easier to read. weekly look at this one, tim peake, to read. weekly look at this one, tim pea ke, talking to read. weekly look at this one, tim peake, talking about wi—fi, too slow in space and too slow down on earth —— quick look. slow in space and too slow down on earth -- quick look. i wanted to be an astronaut as a child but a friend tommy, you have to be five foot ten. i gave up that ambition —— a friend told me. misinformation, fake news but as a child! interesting story. nowadays we expect the internet to work immediately. what is wrong? 0utrage. an issue in terms of urban areas, we generally get good wi—fi, but in provincial areas, countryside, not as good. it is something that is important. countryside, not as good. it is something that is importantm countryside, not as good. it is something that is important. it is interesting the ambitions you give

up interesting the ambitions you give up on, i wanted to be a heart surgeon, then when i was ten, my mum but at a salmon, i gave up, i cannot bea but at a salmon, i gave up, i cannot be a heart surgeon. i wanted to be an actress and i did my exams at the london academy and this is quite common with indian pa rents, this is quite common with indian parents, no stereotypes, accountant, lawyer, doctor. then i became a journalist! designerjobs lawyer, doctor. then i became a journalist! designer jobs for the posh, talk us through this. this story is grounded on the fact that in state schools, there was pressure on the curriculum, less emphasis on music, arts, sport, drama. the vn day are saying, —— the vn day museum, they are saying, let us take our treasures around the country. grayson perry, he was going tojoin the army, but a schoolteacher recommended art. as a maths teacher,

rules, the one bounce rules, against the wheelchair tennis rules with two bounces. we had a little match the other day. a ten point tie—break. i‘m sheepish to admit this, but you thrashed me! but we did have some good rallies, which was encouraging. we had a good warm up, as well! alfie won 10—0! my one bounce and alfie‘s two bouncers. clare balding did better, she got four points. there is an important message behind this, more and more of us can play together. absolutely, that is one of the biggest reasons why i got involved in the sport, it wasn't just to be here, it was to get involved with sport and playing with friends and family and being inclusive. golden, today you are hopefully going to watch the men‘s single final, how are —— how do you think it will go? i have a feeling that anderson will win. i'm going to

go with novak. is for your futures, hopefully soon you will crack the singles title, that‘s the next on the agenda, and a bruising encounter on friday against stefan, but that next step. for sure, i want to win in singles and doubles. i was disappointed not to make it through to the final. but they played some great tennis out there and they deserve to be in the final. this man's already won it. what can alfie do to make that next step to the singles title? i'm not going to tell him! congratulations on winning a third year running, fantastic. an afternoon watching the tennis for a change this afternoon. let‘s get the thoughts of andy murray‘s former coach, mark petchey, also a commentator with the bbc. this is going to be such an interesting final. a lot of people might say

djokovic is the favourite, but he has had his own marathon more recently in the semifinal than kevin anderson. absolutely, there are a few unknown is coming into this would in terms of how novak is going to play, it is not easy, he hasn't beenin to play, it is not easy, he hasn't been in that kind of environment for a while now, playing somebody of that calibre. there are a few unknowns. kevin, looking getting yesterday, looked 0k. just around him yesterday, he looked fine. yesterday, looked 0k. just around him yesterday, he looked finem yesterday, looked 0k. just around him yesterday, he looked fine. is it fairon him yesterday, he looked fine. is it fair on them to expect them to compete in this final, kevin anderson said there has to be a change to the grand slam rules, maybe at 12—12 you have a tie—break? i know that is going against tradition, but is it time for a change? nobody ever said that the final set tie—breaker wasn't exciting. i don't understand why anybody wants to go to 12—12, let's do it at 6—6. we are still living in the dark ages by going on forever. from the point of view of having the most competitive final that we can, i'm all for having a final set

breaker at all the majors. how difficult is it to have played over five hours, 6.5 hours in anderson‘s case, the then come back and do it allagain? case, the then come back and do it all again? yes, it's going to be incredibly difficult. but kevin is one of the most dedicated people out there, a few years ago in auckland he was trying to find a particular brand of vinegar because it was going to help his digestive system! he isa going to help his digestive system! he is a 1%, he does some great work with alistair mccall, his fitness trainer. it is a coin toss because of what novak had to go through against raph, —— against rafa. it is too tight to call. i can't force you too tight to call. i can't force you to make a prediction!” too tight to call. i can't force you to make a prediction! i will go with novak, his returning skills and his ability to find a return against kevin's backhand is brilliant. ability to find a return against kevin's backhand is brilliantm has been an extraordinary wimbledon. i was at the anderson — federer match, i wasn‘t expecting that. and the women especially stop or it has

been a good wimbledon. a lot of debate about whether roger should have gone out the number one court. i think there will be a number of changes headed into next year. but some great storylines, no question. 0ne some great storylines, no question. one more day to go. mark, thank you very much, we look forward to hearing you on the bbc little later on. before we move onto the football, i must mention that murray is involved in the mixed doubles final along with his new partner, victoria azarenka. watch out for that on the bbc today. it is time to move that on the bbc today. it is time to m ove o nto that on the bbc today. it is time to move onto the football and the cup. —— and the world cup. let‘s nip to the world cup quickly before we finish, and england head home from russia later this morning. they finished the tournament with a pretty disappointing 2—0 defeat to belgium in the third—place play—off in st petersburg. the belgians 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‘ve done. we‘re under no illusions as to where we stand as a team. we‘ve finished in the final four, but we‘re not a top four team yet, we know that. we‘ve never hidden behind that. against the very best teams, we‘ve come up short. but we‘ve had a wonderful adventure, and some experiences that will stand this group of players and staff in really good stead for the future. and, yeah, i couldn‘t ask any more of any of the players today or right way through the seven weeks we‘ve worked together. so, football‘s not quite coming home just yet. it could go to the neighbours, though, france. the favourites in the final against croatia. actually, if they win,

france will enter that elite group of multiple winners, because france won it back in 1998. on the way to that final, they actually beat croatia, france were the hosts as well. they got a really talented squad, and they waltzed artist favourites this afternoon at 4pm. they know what to do —— they will start as favourites. last time they got to the final, they beat croatia in the semifinal. they will be looking to their young star, kylian mbappe—lottin, to be at his best. 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 fourth 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. what a day if sport it is coming up for you on the bbc. you might have to have two tvs if, as i think, the men‘s final goes on past 4pm and the world cup final starts as well. maybe you watch on your tablet in

the sunshine. actually an incredible day, both on the same day. i don‘t know what i‘m going to do tomorrow! it's know what i‘m going to do tomorrow! it‘s going to feel weird tomorrow morning. of course, we‘ve still got the tour de france. and then i will see you on thursday morning on brea kfast, see you on thursday morning on breakfast, where i will pop up from a bunker. istarted breakfast, where i will pop up from a bunker. i started off this morning in the bushes on henman hill rummaging around in the four village to show you all of the pretty flowers! that that was when most people were still asleep, i guess! studio: thank you so much, a brilliant day of sport ahead. i've got no sympathy for him, i‘m at wimbledon today but what will i do tomorrow! he is on first name terms with the guy doing the lawn mowing! this is where we say goodbye to babita. she‘s off to read the news on the andrew marr show this morning. here‘s louise with a look at this morning‘s weather. it is looking cooler now, isn‘t it?

it is looking cooler now, isn‘t it? it looks like we are looking at a change of weather direction, but today will be a scorcher, hardly a cloud in the sky for many of us. the rain has arrived already, as you can see, in the highlands, and we have got a weather front gradually bringing the change to the weather story, perhaps not arriving until the middle of the week across central and southern england. but bringing some rain as we speak, some of that quite heavy, welcome rain as well, particularly through northern ireland, where there is a hosepipe and in force at the moment. the rain pushes its way through western scotla nd pushes its way through western scotland as well. it is a weak affair, as it moves further in it will weaken substantially. aberdeenshire and out of the borders, it will stay sunny for the bulk of the day, clouding over into the afternoon, maybe cloud arriving by the end of the day. a light south—westerly breeze driving in the warmth, not a cloud in the sky across england and wales, it will be another hot one, particularly across central and southern areas. the

yellow tones denoting slightly less hot, really, is the best way of putting it, because we are still likely to see 20—24d in scotland, 30 is potentially the maximum, maybe 31. if that happens at wimbledon, it will be potentially the hottest men‘s final since the 805. so that men‘5 final since the 805. so that really is quite unusual, quite extreme weather here. as well, though, as we head through the evening, a beautiful evening for many for spending outside. the weather front pushes its way eastwards, weakening of overnight, ju5t eastwards, weakening of overnight, just a band of showery rain, really. fre5her behind it, yes, much more co mforta ble fre5her behind it, yes, much more comfortable for being. we had high teen5 comfortable for being. we had high teens in scotland overnight, we are looking at a high of 12 or 13 widely here at —— more comfortable for 5leeping. tomorrow will mark a change in the story. a slice of cloud with a few scattered showers, maybe thundery shower5, moving acro55 northern england, wales and the midlands. central and sunny,

behind it, little bit fre5her. this firm also stumble gradually mark the change. it is going to be a slow process , change. it is going to be a slow process, and it will not be too bad in terms of the weather, we will lo5e in terms of the weather, we will lose that extreme heat. no significant rain as it moves through from the south—east, and it will bring, a5 from the south—east, and it will bring, as you can see, temperatures down, at around the low 205 to mid 205, perhap5 down, at around the low 205 to mid 205, perhaps in the south we are looking at the high teams further north. that‘5 looking at the high teams further north. that‘s it. —— the high teen5. louise, thank you very much. it is ju5t approaching 8:50pm. le5 daw5on wasn‘t just a comic genius, he was also a seemingly bad piano player. in fact, it took a certain kind of brilliance to be quite so terrible. his work has now been immortalised by the national orchestra of wales, as our art5 correspondent, david sillito, has been finding out. plays piano. meet composer thoma5 hyde, and the opening to his new overture, le5 at leisure. hits off-key note. ah!

that final note capture5 it! the musical genius of les dawson. occasionally hits wrong keys while playing piano. laughter that‘s it! and for anyone unaware of the master‘s 5pecial approach to the piano, here are a few of his greatest moments. occasionally hits wrong keys while playing piano. laughter you were a big admirer of les? yes. do you admire him now more that you‘ve tried to do this? absolutely, because it‘s trying to understand it from a technical level, and what‘s so interesting... so he is a skilled musician? yes. yes, he 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...

hits wrong notes while playing mozart's sonata 16. ok, you suddenly realise that i‘ve gone wrong. but it wasn‘t necessarily particularly funny. so, for example, if i do this... hits fewer notes while playing mozart's sonata16. ..then it starts to become, as it were, a les dawsonification of the music. what would be the perfect le5 version of mozart? well, the perfect version of les would — he would often take, er, start going in the wrong direction and then would carry on regardle55, as if he was completely unaware of what had happened. so... plays mozart's sonata 16 but gradually gets worse. that's it! it is a special 5kill but le5 also sang and so, tom brought along patrick.

he was here to show us, in this football moment, the true daw5on style. sings god save the queen 0ff key. i think that‘s probably enough! let‘5 end with this — a little bit of the les 0verture in its full orchestral glory. fantastic, isn‘t it?! 25 yea r5 fantastic, isn‘t it?! 25 years this year since le5 daw5on died, and! 25 years this year since le5 daw5on died, and i believe that was recorded in lichfield cathedral on friday night for broadcasting at a later date. au5tralia‘5 5outhern 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 is to be brought from adelaide, to live at longleat safari park in wiltshire, making them the only ones of their kind in europe, a5 laura fo5ter reports.

they‘re abandoning au5tralia they‘re abandoning australia and moving the wiltshire, and when the five female5 moving the wiltshire, and when the five females and single male arrived, it‘ll be the only place you can find 5outhern koalas in the whole of europe. and it‘s hoped once this group settles into their new home in the week will start to breed. it'll be a very strict monitoring process of each individual koalas, and makwala i5 monitoring process of each individual koalas, and makwala is a group, so we can actually identify individual behaviours and individuality and how it affects them all. they are also being brought to the uk because wildlife expert5 want to raise awareness about the problems koalas are facing. although not cla55ed about the problems koalas are facing. although not classed as endangered, koalas are recognised as vulnerable. since the middle of the 19th century, million5 have been killed for their fur. 19th century, million5 have been killed for theirfur. and more recently, large portions of their habitat have been destroyed to build houses and roads. wombats have been chosen to keep them company on their journey, and they‘ll end up here, at a new indoor and outdoor australian

inspired enclosure at longleat safari park. so, the koalas‘ new home isn‘t fini5hed ju5t safari park. so, the koalas‘ new home isn‘t fini5hed just yet. there are some eucalyptus trees here, perfect for the koalas to snack on between mealtimes. but they are going to plant more trees, the5e have been picked especially from the longleat e5tate because they are perfect for koalas to sink in their cau5e perfect for koalas to sink in their cause to an scale all the way up. but they can eat up to 500 grams of eucalyptus leaves in a single day. it's eucalyptus leaves in a single day. it‘s one of the reasons the team here have been growing their own supply. we have faced some challenges. we had obviously the heavy snow back in march, which has kind of set us back a little bit. but since this 5un5hine has happened, they‘ve 5prouted right out. so it‘s definitely become more positive. but when the six fairy friends arrive in the autumn, it‘5 hoped we will be able to learn more about how to help protect these iconic creatures. laura fo5ter, bbc news, long week.

—— longleat. let‘5 —— longleat. let‘s talk more about this. we can cross now to adelaide, where we‘re joined by graeme dick and james dennis from longleat safari park. thanks for taking the time to talk to us this morning, i can see you‘ve got a friend behind you as well! game, first of all, —— james. i don‘t know which way around the world, james, i5 don‘t know which way around the world, james, is that you would the fleece on? good of you to talk to us this morning. how much are you looking forward to getting these quys looking forward to getting these guys back longleat safari park was yellow obviously it is such an iconic animal, it‘5 yellow obviously it is such an iconic animal, it‘s a great opportunity, we are going to work alongside them. graeme, do you think they will cope 0k alongside them. graeme, do you think they will cope ok with the transition to an english climate? yes, we hope so. it's really cold today actually, about 15 degrees every year, and i hear you guys are having a bit of heatwave and enjoying it. but the southern koalas are bit more adaptable to the colder climates, they deal with temperatures right down to about

3-5d. and temperatures right down to about 3—5d. and anything above about 26 they get a bit too hot. it should be perfect for us by king vulture. why i5 perfect for us by king vulture. why is the population of this particular type of quality link was bought this 5pecie5 type of quality link was bought this species of kuala are actually doing quite well in certain parts of south australia. but we don't know a huge amount about them. and with koalas in general, there was a huge risk to the population from disease such as retrovirus and chlamydia, and it hasn't really hit the southern quality at. so a lot of the work we're doing out here and the partnerships we are forming with the guys down here is to actually try and get in there before it happens, so and get in there before it happens, so it's a preventative programme to try and learn a little bit more about southern koalas, their numbers and their habits and why they are not moving around as often as they should and the species of eucalyptus they are feeding on. it's a bit of a conservation breakthrough, a real opportunity for us to get a head of

the game this time. james, many people will have visited longleat safari park and see what you have there. commonly koalas do you have at the moment, and what‘s this going to do to the population at longleat safari park —— how many koala5? to do to the population at longleat safari park -- how many koalas? here in south australia we‘ve got eight koalas, 5ix in south australia we‘ve got eight koalas, six of them will become coming to longleat safari park. thing is crossed there will be more in the future. do you already have some koalas there, will you be introducing them to an existing population at longleat safari park wa5 yellow no, this is a brand—new population and a brand—new venture for us. it is a partnership with south australia also. it is something we are very excited about. graeme, tell us a little bit about the place they are going to have to live when they arrive in will chudley i5 blog5 absolutely. we have tried to abrogate their natural environment as much as possible. eucalyptus trees don't grow very well in the uk. we have planted 4000

trees already, but the exhibit itself has been designed specifically for the needs of the koalas. they sleep a lot, you can see him fast asleep, they spend about 20 hours a day sleeping. we have to make sure that they are very comfortable, there has to be a certain numberof comfortable, there has to be a certain number of forks in the branches so they can wedge their little bombs down into it and fall asleep. we've also got to make sure it is safe from editors. they hate the wind, so we have to make sure it is sheltered. —— from predators. we have to give them the option to move from the outside to the inside to get protection from the elements. grey andjames, get protection from the elements. grey and james, thank you very much. thank you very much for watching. the prime minister warns conservative mp5 they are putting brexit at risk by arguing over her proposals for how the uk will leave the eu. the us president, donald trump, will leave scotland later today and fly to helsinki for a summit with the russian president. the minister for small business,
