6:02 am
when relations between the two countries are at their chilliest since the end of the soviet union. not that the real donald trump sees russia as much of a problem. frankly, putin may be the easiest of them all. who would think. who would think! just before heading for europe, he told a rally, "you know, putin, he's fine." and that was just before his justice department announced it was inditing 12 members of russian military intelligence for meddling in the 2016 election. so, what are his expectations? nothing bad is going to come out of it, and maybe some good will come out. but i go in with low expectations. i'm not going in with high expectations. both leaders are already exciting the anger of protesters before they arrive for a summit where the stakes could not be higher. nuclear proliferation, syria, iran — these are all hot—button issues on which both countries are at odds. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, helsinki. let's talk to gary o'donoghue in helsinki now. it is good to see you. he certainly
6:03 am
wasn't afraid, mr trump, when he was here seeing our prime minister, and this hasn't been the mostjoyful of relationships between him and mr putin. there has been a lot of tension and a lot of mutual praise as well. the expectations for this summitare as well. the expectations for this summit are pretty low. both sides managing down the expectations of what can be achieved, saying there will be limited success and they start from a very low base. there is not much contact at senior levels between these two governments. there area between these two governments. there are a bunch of issues where they should be talking, including nuclear proliferation, iran, syria, before you get to meddling in the us election. there is a range of things they need to talk about and they
6:04 am
will regard this as success if they open channels of communication as a result of today's meeting. gary, thanks very much. he is going to keep us up—to—date and we will speak with lyce doucet in around half an hour. theresa may's plans for brexit are facing another challenge this morning, as the former education secretary justine greening calls for a second referendum on leaving the eu. in an article for the times, the putney mp, who voted to remain, describes the government's current approach as "a fudge". it comes ahead of a crucial vote on the strategy in parliament this week. let's speak to our political correspondent, jonathan blake. morning, jonathan. how much of a blow is it forjustine greening to say this? last week the prime minister's brexit plans did not go entirely as she would have hoped, something of an understatement. cabinet ministers resigning, president trump saying the prospect ofa uk—
6:05 am
president trump saying the prospect of a uk— us trade deal were dead. if the prime minister went to bed thinking this would be the week when things go according to plan, though that was probably unlikely, she will be disappointed because the former education secretary wrote in the times criticising the brexit blueprint, saying it is a fudge, the worst of both worlds, and that there should be a new referendum with three choices on the ballot paper will, to go with the pm's plan, come out without a deal or remain in the eu. justine greening campaigned to remain. she is no longer a member of the government. she is a respected voice in westminster and an uncomfortable moment for the prime minister to have her saying these things. and then this week you also have a conservative mp planning to put down amendments to brexit legislation through parliament. this is an attempt to block the prime minister's plan. it is unlikely to succeed. it is a show of strength.
6:06 am
and then boris johnson succeed. it is a show of strength. and then borisjohnson possibly making a resignation statement in parliament with the prime minister present. we don't know for definite but it will be a very uncomfortable time. thank you very much. the brother of a man poisoned with novichok in the wiltshire town of amesbury has claimed the substance was contained in a perfume bottle. matthew rowley said his brother charlie, who is seriously ill in hospital, told him he had picked up the bottle. his partner dawn sturgess died last week. police have refused to confirm the claim. there have been scenes of jubilation across france after they won the world cup for the second time. they beat croatian 4—2 in a dramatic and sometimes controversial final. the celebrations started as the heavens opened over russia's luzhniki stadium and carried on into the early hours of the morning in towns and cities all over the country. and we will show you pictures of the actual game later on. holly will have that. great celebrations.

" it's the third in two months. gtr, which oversees thameslink, southern and great northern routes, changed the time of every service on may 20th. it meant some were withdrawn and cancelled without warning. the operator says the changes will mean an increase in services across the network. plumes of smoke have been seen across london as a large urban grassland caught fire in the east of the capital. more than 200 firefighters worked through the night on wanstead flats near stratford, to bring a blaze the size of 150 football pitches under control.

6:40am and back to the meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin taking place in finland this morning. this is the first official summit between the presidents, who have met before, and we can speak with our chief correspondent, lyse doucet. we have some time to talk about what this meeting means. these are two men who are familiar with each other. this is official now. what difference will this make?m is being described as informal. it is being described as informal. it is still described as a meeting in which there is no structured agenda. that is at the request of the americans and no doubt president trump himself, who likes to have those "look in the eye" conversations with world leaders. he hasn't hidden his admiration for the russian strongman vladimir putin. so the leaders will sit down together for about one and a half hours with their own aides with the nervousness
6:41 am
about what they will say and then they will be joined for another three hours with their closest advisers including respective warren ministers. president trump has been saying that nothing bad can come out of it, something good may come out of it, something good may come out of it. indeed. so, we have this one hour of informal chat. is it them one—on—onejust hour of informal chat. is it them one—on—one just shooting the breeze? yes, well, ishould make one—on—one just shooting the breeze? yes, well, i should make it clear to the viewers that president trump has com pletely the viewers that president trump has completely upended traditional notions of diplomacy. usually, this kind of high stakes, high—profile summit, a lot of spectacle, would ta ke summit, a lot of spectacle, would take place after months, sometimes yea rs, take place after months, sometimes years, sometimes decades of painstaking diplomacy. but president trump likes to turn things upside down and he wants the summit first thing. he did it with north korea and thejury thing. he did it with north korea and the jury is still out as to whether that was just about the optics and him coming up to the north korean leader with not much
6:42 am
substance and today again the question is whether this will be mostly spectacle or whether there will be substance. there could be a lot of substance, everything from the war in ukraine and syria, where they are on opposing sides, the growing nuclear arms race, which the world would like to stop. the accusations of russian meddling in the american elections, which of course brought president trump to power. so there is a lot of major issues that the whole world worrying about, but president trump says he just wants to get to know this guy who is a world leader. and for president putin, there is a lot to gain as well. perhaps even more than president trump, to stand shoulder to shoulder as he stands basking in the glory of the world cup, on equal footing with an american president. so for both of them, the fact that the meeting takes place at all is a success. lyse, it is so good to talk to you because you put into question
6:43 am
so to you because you put into question so much of what we often question. why helsinki? we know that they have been held elsewhere before. why helsinki? look at helsinki, fantastic weather on the edge of the baltic sea and helsinki is synonymous with history, certainly down through the decades of the cold war. this charming capital on the edge of the baltic sea close to russia was the venue of choice for american and soviet presidents. they have met here time and again. fast forward to 2018, the geographic location is still the same, but not what was always called the proceed neutrality of helsinki. we got this message message on the protest of the streets. finland is a member of the streets. finland is a member of the european union, it is a proud member of the european union, it is a privileged partner of nato. they say, listen, we are not neutral, we are firmly on the side of the west, but, as the mayor of helsinki said,
6:44 am
we are reliable, predictable, what better place to have an unpredictable summit? indeed! donald trump, will he use this in terms of his image. we were talking earlier about his response to an american journalist asking him who he is foes we re journalist asking him who he is foes were and he very clearly put the eu as one of them. how is that going to lie? yes, yes, yes. you kind of go, really? the eu is your opponent? i was just at the nato summit in brussels where he did not talk about nato allies as allies. president trump's world, he doesn't have allies. he is a man on his own out to change the world. at least, that is how he sees it. he is very much transactional relationships. so when he goes to nato he doesn't talk in the same way that british or german or canadian leaders talk of nato in terms of shared values and collective defence. he says you're not spending enough and i need you to spend money on defending
6:45 am
yourself. the american taxpayer is not going to pay for you. simile when he comes to meet the russian leader willy talk about trade, willie talk about tariffs, what will the talk about? —— will he talk about tariffs. when he was asked about tariffs. when he was asked about russia a few days ago he said, well, i don't see president putin as an enemy. i don't see him as a friend, at least not yet, he said i see him like a competitor. very much talking as the businessmen, the property mogul as he is. so the big question is can a businessman, can be ceo of america do a deal with, really, the ceo of russia? lyse, it is great to have your insights on the programme, thank you so much. look forward to seeing what happens later on in the meeting. take care. let's find out what's happening with the weather. i feel like let's find out what's happening with the weather. ifeel like i live in a foreign, warm, hot country and i'm
6:46 am
used to it. is it going to continue? you are not alone. when things turn drastically cool, things turn a bit fresher this week. a lot of dry weather around. the warmth will be back later in the week. there is a greater chance that you could see some rain come your way. but it's by no means a certainty across southern and eastern areas. today's rain comes courtesy of this weather front, bringing in a band together and will bring a fresh appeal to all parts as we go through tomorrow but out there this morning, north—west england, eastern scotland, that weather front will only slowly move northwards and eastwards through the day and we could see bursts of brain get a bit heavier. it's a fairly fragmented rain band. to the south and east, we've still got the warmth to the north and west, a good deal
6:47 am
fresher. maybe one or two isolated showers but notice the temperature contrast. the warmer colours down towards central and eastern england where high 20s, may be pushing 30 degrees is possible once again. still pleasant in the sunshine. continuing to see some rain into the evening rush hour. thejourney home, parts of south—west england, not certain. heavier bursts in the odd rumble of thunder. north—west midlands, maybe up parts of northern england. there will still be some very wet weather post— shipment. ben reid downpours working across northern england. the odd isolated and elsewhere. a little bit on the muqqy and elsewhere. a little bit on the muggy site here. it will be of cold
6:48 am
start. a few showers close to north—east england and across shetland. 0ne north—east england and across shetland. one of showers. a main focus will be north—east england. not that temperatures, 20 and 25 degrees. still very pleasant in the sunshine. for wednesday and thursday, getting dry and warmer again across the south. that's another evening of me struggling to sleep. that's another evening of me struggling to sleeplj that's another evening of me struggling to sleep. i am fine with it, i love the heat. are you sleeping in the heat with a duvet?|j sleeping in the heat with a duvet?” have lots of people in social media. i like that feeling of something heavy. if you ever get frustrated driving through motorway roadworks
6:49 am
at 50 miles per hour, with no workers in sight, this might be welcome news for you. the speed limit could be set to rise to 60. highways england says it's considering allowing people to drive faster in quieter sections and on sundays. but unite the union says it could put lives in danger. we'rejoined from birmingham by highways england chief executivejim 0'sullivan. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. ifeel like i live in a foreign, warm, hot country and i'm we recognise that roadworks are frustrating for users and it adds time to theirjourneys so we are taking a look and seeing if we can make things more convenient for them. what you think of this concept from unite the union saying it could put lives at risk? everyone who
6:50 am
works for highways england is aware that our first imperative is road and user safety —— safety. that our first imperative is road and user safety -- safety. how will it work in practice? if i was driving along motorway, how will i know when i can go over and when i can't? we will change the signs from 50 to 60 and vice—versa. road speed limits us the safety of the user. we may have temporary markings. it might be set for the safety of the roadworker to keep vehicles away from our workers. 0n those occasions, we don't have anybody working. we set the signs to a higher limit. we might use the signs that you can see in our smart motorways. different days in
6:51 am
different points of the day? you would have to change them all. it's a bit ofa would have to change them all. it's a bit of a task. to do it overnight on the weekend, it would be perfectly reasonable to do. is someone perfectly reasonable to do. is someone who spent a lot of time on the motorways, can't you do them a bit faster? there is a lot of work involved. we work on the verges. 0ne of the challenges that takes so long is that people want to use the roads while we are working on them and wink of this is happening? sometime over the winter. we need to identify some sites and design the layout of the roadworks so that it is possible and it's safe. probably towards the
6:52 am
end of the year. did you love mamma mia? to be honest, i didn't. i am with you. it wasn't with me —— from me at all. it's been 10 years since the abba movie mamma mia smashed box office records — despite "mixed" reviews from critics at the time. a decade later, well, here we go again. did you think i was going to say a lot it? i did. the sequel comes out later this week, starring cher and andy garcia. we sent our very own super trouper, charlie stayt, to go and meet them. mes enfants. je suis arrivee! . mamma mia, he we go again. let's get
6:53 am
the party started. grandma, you weren't invited. that's the best kind of party, girl. are you huge abba fans? i am now. it was so huge in the rest of the world but it wasn't as gigantic in america. yes, there were the songs, dancing queen and waterloo, there were those songs. but after the player, and then of course after the movie, i mean its huge in america. what about you, andy? are you familiar with it? i was familiar with the hits when they came to america, i was merely —— really more into r&b and things like that and cuban music. but you we re really like that and cuban music. but you were really bombarded with it because it was on pop radio so if you were on pop radio, you would hear the songs over and over. what you do have to do in mamma mia is, the two of you have to sing together. you do a duet. she sings, i chime together. you do a duet. she sings, ichime in. together. you do a duet. she sings,
6:54 am
i chime in. we were closer now fernando. every hour, every minute seemed to last paternally. we were so seemed to last paternally. we were so afraid fernando. we were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die. but i'm not ashamed to say south —— the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry. your characters knew one another a long time ago. yes. you are reunited. we we re time ago. yes. you are reunited. we were in love. a lot of our life. we are finally reconnecting. he had his frown turned upside down. when trying to get in the mindset of that moment when the sun is coming up and you know you are singing with share, she has this extraordinary delivery. you first have to personalise the story, so you really are involved in it. what it means to you, what she
6:55 am
means to me in the story is a very profound love that's been lost. see have to really honour that somehow. but the acting gods serve you with inspiration. you just want to prepare as and when it happens, it carries you through. you are working a lot now and people are thinking, there might be a time when you were taking it a little easier but that's not your way, is it? i didn't mean this to be like this. anything, i didn't think i'd be doing anything after 50. i mean, didn't think i'd be doing anything after50. i mean, this is ridiculous, i shouldn't be working. i should be knitting or something. i'd watch in it. when times are a
6:56 am
little more difficult, socially, economically, there is something about a cinema, going to a film like this that has a role to play. absolutely. escapism, that kind of thing, gimme something wrote that had to feel i am watching a movie andl had to feel i am watching a movie and i can lose myself in. and this isa and i can lose myself in. and this is a particularly happy movie and i think that during times of stress that happy movies and musicals, they lift your spirits. it's a lot of fun. lovely to see both. welcome. can you believe she is 72? it makes sense considering how long she has beenin sense considering how long she has been in our lives. but that i am 72, you are of course. mamma mia! here we go again is in cinemas from thursday. charlie is only 26. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel.
6:57 am
london fire brigade say they have managed to bring a huge grass fire, in east london, under control. more than 200 firefighters spent most of yesterday tackling the blaze near stratford. an area of wanstead flats equivalent to 150 football pitches was alight — and nearby homes had to be evacuated. rail operator govia thameslink has brought in another new timetable, its third in two months, but insists it will be more robust and reliable. the company says the latest changes will deliver additional capacity and new routes. but passengers have been suffering from severe disruption ever since an overhaul of the schedule in may. it's people's lives being disrupted, like i said, people having to move will out of their houses because they can't rely she gets back from london to come and see our son and if she's delayed by an hour that's an hour she can't see her son, it's no good. today i couldn't get here because there were no trains running all day on a sunday, so no thameslink.
6:58 am
the environment agency's demanded a foul—smelling building be lost in a gripping final yesterday. as i said, it's surreal to me. i dreamt about it as a kid and watched murray win here in 2013 and watched murray win here in 2013 and it's very inspiring and i'm lucky to have been able to get this deep into the tournament. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes — minor delays on the northern line — there's no service between high barnet and finchley central due to a faulty train. the a12 is closed into town from little heath to newbury park following a collision where a motorbike crashed into a footbridge bridge. in north ealing — one lane is closed on the north circular — northbound near the turning for the tube station because of a spillage. let's a look at the weather georgina burnett. good morning. it's another very warm start
6:59 am
of the week but not as much blue sky as we had yesterday, we will see cloud increasing through the morning but very similar temperatures. now, this morning, a bright, even sunny start to the day but this cloud is going to move in from the west ahead of the front and we are not likely to see much of it, maybe western and northern home counties, a few showers but most of us may have a dry day with temperatures getting up to 30, possibly 31 celsius. there should be some late sunny spells, the crowd moving away to give us some clear skies, fairly warm again as well fairly warm again as well with temperatures down to the midteens and tomorrow, it is another bright, sunny start to the day, that cloud building through the morning but breaking up in the afternoon to give us sunny spells later on. temperature wise, we take a bit of a dip getting up to 25 celsius. that pattern of a bright start with cloud building through the day is going to be fairly familiar as we head through the week but the temperature dip tomorrow is unusual for the week ahead as we are seeing highs
7:00 am
in the late 20s, a fair amount of sunshine, but not much wet weather, i'm afraid. no rain for the garden. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back to steph and naga. good morning. welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: friends or foes? donald trump and vladimir putin meet for talks in helsinki. the american president says he has low expectations for the summit. fresh opposition to teresa may's brexit plans. former education secretary justine greening calls for a second referrendum. reigning supreme in a torrential downpour, france lift the world cup for a second time, beating croatia in the final in moscow. president macron takes the lead in the celebrations — millions in paris and around
7:01 am
the country party late into the night. the christening of prince louis is marked by the release of a set of family photographs. and, while it is a hot day in the south and the east, we have rain in the west which will introduce fresh weather for all tomorrow. i'll have your forecast. good morning. us president donald trump will meet the russian leader vladimir putin in helsinki today. although the two men have met before, this is their first official summit. it's thought they might talk about the war in syria and russia's alleged meddling in american elections. 0ur washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue reports. helsinki, a city synonymous with the cold war intersection between east and west. i wanna find out exactly what putin knows about... so, while everything is not quite how it seems in this city of spies, one thing is true, america and russia meet here at a time
7:02 am
when relations between the two countries are at their chilliest since the end of the soviet union. not that the real donald trump sees russia as much of a problem. frankly, putin may be the easiest of them all. who would think? who would think! just before heading for europe, he told a rally, "you know, putin, he's fine." and that was just before his justice department announced it was inditing 12 members of russian military intelligence for meddling in the 2016 election. so, what are his expectations? nothing bad is going to come out of it, and maybe some good will come out. but i go in with low expectations. i'm not going in with high expectations. both leaders are already exciting the anger of protesters before they arrive for a summit where the stakes could not be higher. nuclear proliferation, syria, iran — these are all hot—button issues on which both countries are at odds. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news, helsinki. let's talk to gary 0'donoghue in helsinki now.
7:03 am
good morning, gary. it is an interesting meeting, definitely, but we don't know much other than where they are meeting, do we? that is absolutely right, there has been no published agenda in that sense and there has been very little preparatory work done before this summit between both sides, when you would normally get in normal summits, and you get the sense in some ways that donald trump is slightly winging it. both sides are talking down expectations about what can be agreed. however, if they can't out of the summit with some form of communication, they will regard that as success because relations couldn't be much lower than they are at the moment. so not much riding... there is lots to discuss. very much there is a hope
7:04 am
that the atmosphere will improve as a result of these men getting in the room. at the end of the day when the then stand side—by—side in the press conference, we will see the chemistry, we will see how they are together, and that will give us an idea about whether the americans and the russians can get down to doing some serious talking in the future. gary, i love the way you phrase things, winging it is probably a good description. sorry for the sound issue, that was probably the engineers making sure that you could hear gary. theresa may's brexit plans are being challenged again. the former education secretary justine greening has called for a second referendum on leaving the eu. in an article for the times, the putney mp, who voted to remain, describes the government's current approach as "a fudge". it comes ahead of a crucial vote on the strategy in parliament this week. let's speak to our political correspondent jonathan blake. jonathan, good to see you. we will speak with justine greening shortly. it is another voice, a senior voice
7:05 am
this time, ex— minister, casting doubt. yes, justine greening, the first to stick her head above the parapet to say that a second referendum is needed. well, she says the plan the prime minister has put forward is a fudge. she describes it as the worst of both worlds and she says the people, not parliament, who should make their next important decision. she says that there will be three choices — that would be to go forward with the prime minister's plan, to come out without a deal, or to remain in the eu. and it is significant that she is saying it. the government isn't about to pick up the government isn't about to pick up this idea and run with it. she is, as! up this idea and run with it. she is, as i say, the most senior conservative to put forward an idea like this, and others agree with her. this is the first perhaps slightly less co mforta ble her. this is the first perhaps slightly less comfortable moment for
7:06 am
the prime minister in a difficult week over brexit, another one, after last week's cabinet resignations and president trump's statement that the prospect of a us — uk trade deal is dead and legislation in parliament this week with conservative mps putting in amendments to try to block the prime minister's plan. it doesn't look like it will succeed so it will be a show of strength. and then potentially resignations state m e nts then potentially resignations statements from david davis and borisjohnson, the statements from david davis and boris johnson, the former statements from david davis and borisjohnson, the former brexit and foreign secretaries, who could be uncomfortable —— 0beid also could be uncomfortable —— 0beid also could be uncomfortable times for theresa may. the brother of a man poisoned with novichok in the wiltshire town of amesbury has claimed the substance was contained in a perfume bottle. matthew rowley said his brother charlie, who is seriously ill in hospital, told him he had picked up the bottle. his partner, dawn sturgess died last week. police have refused to confirm the claim. drivers could soon be allowed to go faster through motorway roadworks. highways england say it's considering raising the current speed limit from 50 miles per hour to 60 on quiet days
7:07 am
when there are fewer workers nearby. but the union, unite, says any increase in speeds would endanger lives. the troubled rail operator govia thameslink has released its third new timetable in two months, saying it will be more " robust and reliable". thameslink, southern and great northern passengers have faced major disruption since a new timetable began on may 20th. ben ando is at london bridge station for us this morning. what many are thinking now, many are getting ready to go to work, getting ready to travel, to jump on the trains, now is it the end to that frustration? good question. good morning. at the moment it is too early to say. the early signs are encouraging. i arrived early to say. the early signs are encouraging. iarrived here early to say. the early signs are encouraging. i arrived here and around 5:45am and one train was cancelled between london bridge and
7:08 am
horsham and i thought, here we go again. since then, i haven't seen cancellations. trains have been running a little bit late. for passengers who have become incredibly frustrated with the difficulties since the new timetable on may 20, there were huge numbers of cancellations, delays, trains taken out of service. passengers will be thinking that this is a much better service indeed. of course, it is still very early days but i think that govia thameslink will be relieved even in the first morning that things are not going as badly as they have been for passengers in the last period. it has been causing particular trouble for the public and for the chief executive of the organisation who was forced to resign over the issue. and we have some snaps of the royal family. kensington palace has released a set of photographs to mark the christening of prince louis. they were taken in the garden and morning room of clarence house following the service last week. photographer matt holyoak, who also took portraits to celebrate
7:09 am
the 70th wedding anniversary of the queen and prince philip, said he hoped the images captured the joy of the occasion. it is so hard to take those photos, isn't it, with children, just to look in the right direction and it looks like it just look in the right direction and it looks like itjust took look in the right direction and it looks like it just took seconds, look in the right direction and it looks like itjust took seconds, but i bet it took hours. i like it when they are not all looking in the right direction. yes, it is real life. matt is going to update us with the weather shortly. thousands of families are struggling with the daily challenges of raising disabled children, because of a funding gap in children's health and social services. that's according to the disabled children's partnership. the group, made up of 60 charities, said the nhs in england needs £1.1 billion to keep up with demand. the number of children with life—limiting conditions or complex needs has doubled since 2004. the government says it's investing more to ensure those in need get help. but bbc panorama has found many
7:10 am
families are still struggling to cope after having their funding cut. joining us now from home in lincolnshire isjordan gadbury. her son charlie has an extremely rare genetic condition and needs constant care. thank you so much for talking to us today. can you tell us a little bit about charlie. charlie has an extra rare condition. he is the only one with his variant. he has suffused skull, so that makes him with the only one with his type of condition. just seeing some lovely pictures of charlie now, and you with charlie. tell us a little bit about the care that he needs. because that is the thing that worries you the most, isn't it? yes, charlie's care is quite complex. he has a blender
7:11 am
diet, which is what we eat, we blend it down and we put it down the tube in his stomach, gastrostomy. he is development is delayed, so he relies on us development is delayed, so he relies on us to move him around, lift him from different areas. he has physio every day. he is quite tight, his muscles are quite tight and he gets very excited, so that doesn't help. yes, everything is just very excited, so that doesn't help. yes, everything isjust a lot more than what you would normally have to do with a three—year—old. than what you would normally have to do with a three-year-old. yes, of course. and the funding has changed, hasn't it? that has been the problem? yeah, charlie used to have a tracheostomy, which is a cube in his neck to help him breathe when he was a little bit smaller, just at the start of this year he had it removed. i didn't think he is care would change because he is still complex. i thought that his care
7:12 am
would still be the saint and eve ryo ne would still be the saint and everyone was telling me from these professionals that his care would be the same, don't worry. and as soon as it was removed, the care package was removed, he was classed as not being medically complex. i com pletely being medically complex. i completely understand but he still complex. so has his care changed much from your point of view? now you don't have this funding, what difference has it made your life?m is hard, because it all depends on me. so there is no letup. it is co nsta nt. me. so there is no letup. it is constant. you are tired, so there is no rest. when charlie is very demanding and challenging, it relies on me to try to sort him out. and because we are having to lead light charlie, no one can tell us what to expect from him, it can become very frustrating, because i don't know, he is non—verbal, so his way of communicating is changing. every time he has a birthday he changes.
7:13 am
so it is all new. i don't really know how to deal with him. sometimes he can become a little bit hard to handle. it is just difficult because he relies on me all the time. it sounds so tough. are you getting any help from anywhere? no, there is no help. we were told that if we needed help, or if we wanted help, we would have to go through different groups, and they are difficult. because you are always having to prove to other people that are not medically trained, that sits behind a desk all day, that your son is disabled enough to have the limited care that we do get, and the amount of money that they would release to us, it is difficult. what are you going to do? i don't know. i really don't know. the future frightens me and my partner. it is a scary thought. we don't know what charlie will be able
7:14 am
to achieve in the future. there is a possibility of having to remodel houses, wet rooms, i don't know. i really don't know. i still can't answer. i really don't know. it must give you sleepless nights, thinking about all of this. yes, i try not to think about it. it makes me upset.” won't get you to talk about it any more because i appreciate it is tough to do all of this. please send all of our love to charlie as well, because he looks like a gorgeous little boy to all of us from here. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you very much for talking to us. that is hard, isn't it? yes, and iam sure us. that is hard, isn't it? yes, and i am sure that there are plenty of pa rents i am sure that there are plenty of parents out there who are similar to jordan, so get in touch with us if you are in a similar position. you can see more on this on panorama, tonight at 8:30pm on bbc one. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's 7:15am. the headlines: president trump and vladimir putin are due to hold their first summit this morning in helsinki. the former education secretary justine greening hasjoined calls
7:15 am
for another referendum on leaving the eu. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. we've been enjoying the sunshine and we are almost getting to the point where this is normal. sadly, blue skies. before you know it, people will be looking summer holidays to find wet and windy weather but not a huge amount around uk, just catch a ride for one of the weather watchers in dorset. there is the rainfall, not reaching the ground here but it is elsewhere. a greater chance today that many of you will see a little bit of rain. it's not guarantee that all this week. in the rain that forgot to laz to introduce some fresh air. this weather front
7:16 am
nudging its way eastwards. bringing a bit of morning rain, northern and western rails. it is fairly fragmented. will push its way northwards and eastwards. 0n the back edge of it, western scotland, northern ireland. feeling much pressure than what we have seen. the midlands, parts of eastern england. the heat is continuing, i 20s, may be low 30s. compare to the high teens, low 20s out in the west. temperatures, the low to mid— 20s, and still a few downpours around in the evening rush—hour. not a huge amount, some of that will stay dry but there is a potential for some
7:17 am

7:18 am
with high pressure in charge, wednesday and thursday, we get rid of the shower risk in most of you. if anything, the temperatures will start to rise again as we go towards the end of the week. the uk's largest airshow starts in farnborough today. it's the biggest event of the year for british aerospace, and hundreds of companies have gathered to show off the latest technological advances. there will be announcements on everything from flying taxis to a new space port in the scottish highlands. breakfast‘s john maguire is there for us this morning. good morning to everybody at home, it's an incredible show, farnborough, one of the biggest in the world takes place alternating with the paris airshow. as you say, it's got two roles. it becomes a traditional airshow and aircraft
7:19 am
lets the public end. but from monday to friday, very much a trade show. if you are involved in business, whatever you are involved in, whether it's pa pal or whatever you are involved in, whether it's papal or pencils will pasta, you would have gone to a trade show. all different types of aircraft, increasingly, manned aircraft, increasingly, manned aircraft, helicopters and space. we have these announcements today about the future of the uk space industry, a very significant step, looking at the announcement of funding for the uk space write—up on the north coast of scotla nd uk space write—up on the north coast of scotland and also those are the horizontal spaceports we were talking about earlier. lots to discuss. paul everitt, the trade body of aerospace, this is three much your baby. it's the shop window for the uk aerospace in the fashion
7:20 am
industry. how big an industry as it? uk aerospace is a world leader, second only to the us in terms of the scale of the economy. whenever something like £35 billion per annum. hundreds of thousands of people employed. perhaps more importantly, we are on the cutting edge of technology. we draw through much of the university and research work which goes on up and down the country into real products that people use every day. we talked about £95 billion worth of business. do you expect to be a different show in two years post—brexit?” do you expect to be a different show in two years post-brexit? i don't think. each farnborough is slightly different. the focus will be on delivery, delivery, delivery. where the fortunate position with eight or 9- the fortunate position with eight or 9— you order books set for airbus and boeing, we need to make more aircraft more quickly and many of the thousands of companies which
7:21 am
will be exhibiting here are about demonstrating how they can ramp up production in manner that is cost—effective but also the quality and safety at aerospace products remains paramount. we are talking about space, the previous chancellor, george osborne said he wa nted chancellor, george osborne said he wanted to double the size of the space industry. it is very important. what is the relevance of the spaceports? the uk is a world leader in space, it's always been a pa rt leader in space, it's always been a part of the farnborough air show. it isa part of the farnborough air show. it is a fast—growing industry. the thing that holds us back as the cost of launching satellites. today's announcement is of launching satellites. today's announcement is one of launching satellites. today's announcement is one of the important first steps in making satellite launches and accessing space more cost—effective so we are looking, if you like, at a period similar to the dawn of the jet age when a travel
7:22 am
went from something that was only for the elite and very expensive to something that was ( providing that is what the next 10— 20 years will be about. the democratisation of space and bring it closer to hand. back to the thorny issue of brexit, will that dominate much of the discussions here this week? is the uncertainty? what are people saying to you? where are we with those brexit negotiations? the publication of the white paper last week will have brought a great deal of reassurance to the industry because the key features of it, regulatory alignment, a common rule book, a free trade area for goods, all mean that the competitiveness of the uk and european aerospace industry can be protected. the other big signal that companies will be looking for, what is the uk's post—brexit
7:23 am

7:25 am
what's going to happen in the future of transport, moving people and goods around. indeed, thank you very much. he did a greatjob with that answer. the three top we can't hear what people are saying, you just slowly nod and hope that it is not something bad. tricks of the trade. it is 725 and we will be with you shortly but it's time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. see you soon. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel. more than 220 firefighters have brought a large grass fire in east london under control. the fire near stratford is still smouldering this morning. an area of wanstead flats equivalent to 150 football pitches was alight — and nearby homes had to be evacuated.

7:28 am
not likely to see much of it, maybe western and northern home counties, a few showers but most of us may have a dry day with temperatures getting up to 30, possibly 31 celsius. there should be some late sunny spells, that cloud moving away to give us some clear skies overnight, fairly warm again as well with temperatures down to the midteens and tomorrow, it's another bright, sunny start to the day, that cloud building through the morning but breaking up in the afternoon to give us sunny spells later on. temperature—wise, we take a bit of a dip getting up to 25 celsius. that pattern of a bright start with cloud building through the day is going to be fairly familiar as we head through the week but the temperature dip tomorrow is unusual for the week ahead as we are seeing highs in the late 20s, a fair amount of sunshine, but not much wet weather, i'm afraid. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast

it really summed up the world cup with so much drama, controversy and excitement in every game and so many surprises. a lot of people did think that france would be the winners in the end, but perhaps not the way that it happened. croatia looked really strong, incredible performance, but france are world cup champions for the second time in their history. so many goals as well! six goals, really unusual and this is what we want, more drama, more goals, that's what it's all about and it is the second time they have won the world cup. france are world champions for a second time after beating croatia 4—2 in a thrilling world cup final in moscow. the game turned on a controversial decision thanks to the help of the video assistant referee. it was 1—1 when the ball hit ivan perisic on the arm, and after looking at the replays france were given a penalty. it was scored by antoine griezmann to give them the advantage at half time. and from there, well, france blew croatia away. a goalfor kylian mbappe means he's the first teenager to score in a world cup final since pele in 1958. he could be football's next global

with and really tight. and everybody connected, players and staff. you know, we did have a few drinks last night. and everybody was singing. it was very, very special. it is not all about science. it is not all about what happens on the pitch. sometimes those little moments that you share together, and that those relationships, friendships, are with you forever, and that's an important part of sport. some of the players‘ families have been posting pictures of their reunions. there was a big gathering of the maguires to greet harry in yorkshire. and jamie vardy‘s wife rebecca also posted a family photo of her husband's first evening back. it wasn't all about the football this weekend though, at wimbledon after angelique kerber‘s victory in the women's wimbledon final on saturday. it was the men's turn yesterdy and a reto to form it was the men's turn yesterdy and a return to form

for novak djokovic who claimed his fourth title at the all england club. he beat the big south african kevin anderson in straight sets to win his 13th grand slam title. both men had come through epic semi—finals, and it ended up being a pretty straight forward win for djokovic, who had a special spectator watching on. it feels amazing, because, for the first time in my life, i have someone screaming "daddy, daddy!" he is under five years old, so he couldn't watch the matches live, but we were hoping that, you know, if this happens, that i hold the trophy, that he can be there to witness it, so i can't be happier. i am very emotional for him, being there. elsewhere on the final day at wimbledon jamie murray fell short in his bid to retain the mixed doubles title as he and partner victoria azarenka were beaten

7:39 am
have only done it on the country roads. not that uncomfortable. it is very uncomfortable. it is the alps next, so i don't know what is worse. i will leave them to it. indeed. thank you. you might be enjoying this glorious weather, but the downside is it's also the perfect breeding ground for pesky pests. yes, insects. calls to the nhs111 helpline about insect bites are double the rate they usually are at this time of year, and it's nips from horseflies that are causing the most concern. so what's causing the influx? with us now are consultant biologist andrew dawson and gp doctor farhat ahmad. good morning. so what is going on, is it more unusual, andrew, or is it just because of prolonged high temperatures? it is the fact that we have had a very wet spring followed bya have had a very wet spring followed by a wet summer and these are the perfect conditions, and june and
7:40 am
july are peak times for horse flies. the main problem is it is the female. the males eat pollen. the females have two little saws in the mouth and they actually saw into the flesh and it sucks up the blood with the little sponge. why do the females have a go at us, rather than the men? the blood proteins required for a development means they can lay the eggs in batches between 25 and 1008. and so it is that sawing action? it is a piercing. i don't know why it explains when i have a horse fly bite it is like a huge purple lump and you get reactions, don't you? i am a drama queen. why is it so much worse than a normal mosquito? the mosquito just piercers in with an anticoagulant, so you don't really feel it. it is a very
7:41 am
clean puncture. if you have got the horse fly it is this sawing motion, so horse fly it is this sawing motion, so you have jagged edges to it and some people are quite allergic as well to some of the fluids. that's my problem. i react. whatever i am bitten by, we have a picture. i should give you a warning, it is my foot. this is me. every time i go anywhere, my ankle is not normally that big. you don't usually have ca nkles that big. you don't usually have cankles like that. and every time i am bitten by anything, it swells up. what is your advice? insect bites are a side—effect of the lovely weather we have been having. so when you get a bite like that most of the time it is your body, it releases histamine from cells in your body, they are helping to fight whatever has happened, so it might not feel like a good thing, but it is a good way to clear what's gone on. so
7:42 am
simple things, if it is swollen, elevate it and put an icepack on it. put some eyes in a towel and put it on. antihistamines can help. steroid cream from the pharmacist can help. and they will all help ease the symptoms. sometimes they can go on to get infected. you have to keep an eye out on that. if my anklelock like steph's, i would be really alarmed —— if my ankle looked like steph's, i would alarmed —— if my ankle looked like steph's, iwould be alarmed —— if my ankle looked like steph's, i would be really alarmed, especially if an insect has been sawing away at you and that is why the nhs sawing away at you and that is why the nh5111 sawing away at you and that is why the nhs111 helpline had so many calls recently. are they right to calls recently. are they right to call if they are concerned? the real answer is to see what bite caused it. i think that there can be, when you see a horse fly bite, the reaction can be quite extreme. not what you would expect from an insect bite. people think, that is
7:43 am
alarming, that is worrying. i think you have to, in the age of information, there is lots of reasonably good information on the nhs website and you can use that to make a judgement. sometimes you could go to a pharmacist to get some advice. i think deciding where to go with it, whether you see a doctor or not. how can you stop it happening in the first place, andrew? that is my thing. ifeel like i try in the first place, andrew? that is my thing. i feel like i try the insect sprays all of the time. you have to eat magic food, apparently. magic food, 0k. have to eat magic food, apparently. magic food, ok. the main stimulus is dark objects, carbon dioxide, and sharp or shiny material on your top, then that is quite at attractant. so, what should i wear? something loose and light—coloured. so, what should i wear? something loose and light-coloured. you always think bright light colours attract insects, but you are saying don't go shiny. there are has been quite a lot of work done on the fact that dark objects moving as well. you
7:44 am
can't even run away from these because they can fly 15 miles an hour after you. someone said to eat brewers yeast because you spelt differently to the insect. are all of these myths? 0h, differently to the insect. are all of these myths? oh, look at the faces. i don't think there is any evidence for that. it would be great. there are lots of theories on things you can do to be more attractive to these insects, but i don't think that there is a definitive answer. so can you where the insect spray? yes, cover up as first protection, then you can try a decent insect spray to see if that will keep them away. interesting advice about clothes. don't do what ido, ina advice about clothes. don't do what i do, in a big shiny top. as you do when it is hot and sunny. thank you very much, it is lovely to talk to you. can you save us, please? good morning. good morning. a remarkable start the summer and
7:45 am
signs of warm weather to come. things will turn a bit of pressure over the next couple of days and there is a greater chance of a shower coming your way but by no means, a guarantee, particularly the further south and east you are. a fairly fragmented weather front. the showery nature of the rain, it's going to introduce the atlantic air which will drop the temperatures and if you can get some humidity, there you go. you have the morning commute with rain across eastern scotland and parts of northern england and to the west of wales and a fairly fragmented band of rain will push its way slowly north and eastwards. temperatures lower than they were through the weekend. to the south and east of it, but the hot and human error remains. because sea temperatures across parts of the
7:46 am
area a cross temperatures across parts of the area across the low teens and 30s. its focus on the area of showers because they will be through, the odd thunder possible. better chance of them coming their way. a few showers into the air across the north—east. a bit heavier later on. showers clearing across the east of scotland. they could still be some heavy thundery downpours to take us into the first part of the night. most become dry and clear. while we still have some fairly mandir, not as bad as recent nights. it will feel a little more comfortable but not cold start to tomorrow morning. tomorrow, is going to be a bright start to the vast majority, one or two showers and as cloud builds up
7:47 am
and spreads out a little bit across other parts of the uk, always the chance of a light shower here and there. if you are in need of rain, north—east england and eastern scotland, the odd rumble of thunder as possible. temperatures 20, triggered by degrees. it's been 10 years since the abba movie mamma mia smashed box office records — despite "mixed" reviews from critics at the time. a decade later, well, here we go again. the sequel comes out later this week, starring cher and andy garcia. we sent our very own super trouper, charlie stayt, to go and meet them. mes enfants. je suis arrivee! # why, why did i ever let you go? mamma mia, here we go again.
7:48 am
let's get the party started. grandma, you weren't invited. that's the best kind of party, little girl. are you both huge abba fans? i am now. it was so huge in the rest of the world but it wasn't as gigantic in america. yes, there were the songs, dancing queen and waterloo, there were those songs. but after the play, and then of course after the movie, i mean, it's huge in america. what about you, andy? are you familiar with it? i was familiar with the hits when they came to america, i was really more in tune with r&b and things i was really more in tune with r&b and things like that that i listened to and cuban music. but you were really bombarded with it because it was on pop radio so if you were on pop radio, you would hear the songs over and over. what you do have to do in mamma mia is, the two of you have to sing together. you do a duet.
7:49 am
she sings, i chime in. # we were closer now fernando. # every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally. # they were so afraid, fernando. # we were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die. # but i'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons # almost made me cry. your characters knew one another a long time ago. yes. and you are reunited. we were in love. the love of our life. we are finally reconnecting. he had his frown turned upside down. i'm trying to get in the mindset of that moment when the song is coming up and you know you are singing with cher, everyone knows she has this extraordinary delivery. you first have to personalise the story, so you really are involved in it. what the stakes, what it means
7:50 am
to you, what she means to me in the story is a very profound love that's been lost. so you have to really honour that somehow. there you just want to prepare so when it happens, it carries you through it. you are working a lot now and people are thinking, there might be a time when you'd taking it a little easier but that's not your way, is it? i didn't mean this to be like this. i didn't even think... anything, i didn't think i'd be doing anything after 50. i mean, this is ridiculous, i shouldn't be working. i should be knitting or something. i'd watch you knit. when times are a little bit difficult, socially,
7:51 am
economically, there is something about the cinema, going to a film like this, that has a role to play. absolutely. escapism, that kind of thing, give me something where i don't have to feel i am watching the news, and i can lose myself in. and this is a particularly happy movie and i think that during times of stress, that happy movies and musicals, they lift your spirits. it's a lot of fun. lovely to see both. thank you very much. welcome. likewise, thanks. mamma mia! here we go again is in cinemas from thursday. a little over a week ago, the prime minister unveiled her brexit strategy to ministers. it led to a string of high—profile resignations. the former education secretary justine greening — who voted remain — has branded the proposals the "worst of both worlds" and is calling for a second referendum.
7:52 am
she joins us now from our london newsroom thank you for talking to us on brea kfast. thank you for talking to us on breakfast. lost revenue to put your head above the parapet. sang theresa may is getting this wrong?” head above the parapet. sang theresa may is getting this wrong? i think i'm just calling it like i said. this deal keeps no unhappy in parliament won't support it. i also think parliament won't support and no deal scenario. we are left with westminster unable to get a route forward and you have to give that decision back to the british people and put it in their hands. keating to british people can be trusted to give the correct information this time? both sides were accused this time? both sides were accused this time of misinforming. what's to guarantee that won't happen again? people are perfectly capable of making their minds up. we can but the three options that in practice
7:53 am
are there, whether it's the prime minister's deal, no deal orjust stating in the eu, they can absolutely choose between those. when are probably better now what the pros and cons are on these different routes is was absolutely possible. i'm saying people should have two votes, they convert to the best deal that they want but also but second best one. they have already made their minds up, the majority voted. we have to recognise that the last two years, parliament been arguing about how to take forward that result and is stalemated. there is an impasse and thatis stalemated. there is an impasse and that is just the reality and i think people in parliament see it but i'm saying it. we need to succeed in the real world and be realistic. we have to put that back in the hands of the british people and ask them which of these three routes that realistically are in front of us they want us to take. let me give
7:54 am
you some ideas about what some of our viewers are saying about what's happening at the moment. gary has got in touch and said, the idea of any future referendums is testament to wea k any future referendums is testament to weak mps passing the buck and then blaming each other and the public in the mess they created. this isn't helpful, according to many people, many people watching what is going on in parliament, the division which appears to be growing and deepening in the conservative party and in parliament.” and deepening in the conservative party and in parliament. i agree with that and i think part of the problem is that westminster runs on party political lines and brexit isn't about party politics, it is absolutely above that. i think the only way that we will start to heal the divisions is by having the route forward that we genuinely know, that the british people can get behind andi the british people can get behind and i think that's why you have to go back and put the decision on the final brexit deal in their hands. the final brexit deal needs to be
7:55 am
bashed out. by saying this today again with rumours, that we might see resignation speeches, statements from borisjohnson see resignation speeches, statements from boris johnson and see resignation speeches, statements from borisjohnson and david davis, you are not helping. you are not being loyal to your party leader. do you feel comfortable with that. this is more important than party politics. we have to put what is right for our country above all about and that is why saying today, when i talked to people who voted remain in my constituency, they feel this means we have to win five by all the rules. they find it impossible that the leaders themselves who won the referendum, they are unhappy as well. they feel like this doesn't give britain the clea n b rea k like this doesn't give britain the clean break that they voted for. we shouldn't ignore that but it clear
7:56 am
most of all the parliament is stalemated. if that is the situation. we might not like it but it is, we have to respond to that and work out how to get a clean direction for the uk and that must mean going back to the british people and putting a decision on a final wave forward in their hands. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel. more than 220 firefighters have brought a large grass fire in east london under control. the fire near stratford is still smouldering this morning. an area of wanstead flats equivalent to 150 football pitches was alight — and nearby homes had to be evacuated. the national gallery is facing legal action from 27 members of its education team who claim they've been unfairly dismissed. the gallery says the group, who were responsible for explaining the stories behind its paintings,
7:57 am
were freelance and they've been offered the chance to apply for new jobs. luton airport is celebrating its 80th anniversary today. teenage tennis playerjack draper from sutton says playing at wimbledon has been "like a dream". the 16 year—old narrowly missed out on becoming the first british winner of the boy's singles title in over half a century. unseeded — he lost in a gripping final yesterday. as i said, it's surreal to me. i dreamt about it as a kid and watched murray win here in 2013 and it's very inspiring and i'm lucky to have been able to get this deep into the tournament. the piccadilly line station in enfield has had its sign changed
7:58 am
until tomorrow night. a great idea. it is take a look at the travel. 0n the tubes — minor delays on the overground between euston and watford junction. in wanstead — aldersbrook road and centre road remain closed following the fire yesterday. weather with georgina burnett. it's another very warm start of the week but not as much blue sky as we had yesterday. we'll see cloud increasing through the morning but very similar temperatures. now, this morning, a bright, even sunny start to the day but this cloud is going to be building from the west ahead of a front we're not likely to see much of it, maybe western and northern home counties, a few showers but most of us may have a dry day with temperatures getting up to 30, possibly 31 celsius. there should be some late sunny spells, that cloud moving away to give us some clear skies overnight, fairly warm again as well with temperatures down to the midteens and tomorrow,
7:59 am
it's another bright, sunny start to the day, that cloud building through the morning but breaking up in the afternoon to give us sunny spells later on. temperature—wise, we take a bit of a dip getting up to 25 celsius. that pattern of a bright start with cloud building through the day is going to be fairly familiar as we head through the week but the temperature dip for tomorrow is unusual for the week ahead as we are seeing highs in the late 20s, a fair amount of sunshine, but not much wet weather, i'm afraid. i'm back in half an hour. now though it's back to steph and naga. good morning, welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: friends or foes?

8:01 am
although the two men have met before, this is their first official summit. it's thought they might talk about the war in syria and russia's alleged meddling in american elections. 0ur washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue reports. helsinki, a city synonymous with the cold war intersection between east and west. i wanna find out exactly what putin knows about... so, while everything is not quite how it seems in this city of spies, one thing is true, america and russia meet here at a time when relations between the two countries are at their chilliest since the end of the soviet union. not that the real donald trump sees russia as much of a problem. frankly, putin may be the easiest of them all. who would think? who would think! just before heading for europe, he told a rally, "you know, putin, he's fine." and that was just before his justice department announced it was inditing 12 members of russian military intelligence for meddling in the 2016 election.
8:02 am
so, what are his expectations? nothing bad is going to come out of it, and maybe some good will come out. but i go in with low expectations. i'm not going in with high expectations. both leaders are already exciting the anger of protesters before they arrive for a summit where the stakes could not be higher. nuclear proliferation, syria, iran — these are all hot—button issues on which both countries are at odds. theresa may's brexit plans are being challenged again. the former education secretary justine greening has called for a second referendum on leaving the eu. in an article for the times, the putney mp, who voted to remain, describes the government's current approach as "a fudge". it comes ahead of a crucial vote on the strategy in parliament this week. let's speak to our political correspondent jonathan blake. as we have been hearing, we have had
8:03 am
the former education secretary justine greening on the programme. there are still divisions that are not going away and this is the first senior member of the party to speak out on this again now. yes, justine greening has said she thinks the prime minister's plan is the worst of both worlds and she has described it as of both worlds and she has described itasa of both worlds and she has described it as a fudge and says the only way forward now is for there to be a second referendum. there would be three options. to stay in the european union, to leave the european union, to leave the european union, to leave the european union without a deal and to go forward with the prime minister's plans. she says parliament is incapable at the moment of getting anything done. we have to recognise that for the last two years parliament has been arguing about how to take forward that result and there is a stalemate. that isjust there is a stalemate. that isjust the reality. people in parliament see it, but i am saying is, and therefore we need to succeed in the
8:04 am
real world and we need to be realistic. this means we have to put that back in the hands of the british people now. so she is saying it as she sees it. there are other mps who believe a second referendum might be the way forward. it will be interesting to see in the next few days whether any of them come out in public and supportjustine greening's call. it is interesting she has made this intervention at this time because it is a difficult week for the prime minister with brexit legislation coming through parliament. some conservative mps are trying to block that, putting down amendments to try to force the prime minister to change policy, but it does not look like they will succeed this time. later in the week the possibility of borisjohnson, the possibility of borisjohnson, the former foreign secretary, making a resignation statement in parliament which could also be awkward for the prime minister. the brother of a man poisoned
8:05 am
with novichok in the wiltshire town of amesbury has claimed the substance was contained in a perfume bottle. matthew rowley said his brother charlie, who is seriously ill in hospital, told him he had picked up the bottle. his partner, dawn sturgess died last week. police have refused to confirm the claim. a remote stretch of the north coast of scotland may become the uk's first spaceport. the a'mhoine peninsula in sutherland has been chosen as the most suitable place in the uk from which to launch satellites into orbit. the uk space agency is providing £2.5 million towards the development of the facility. drivers could soon be allowed to go faster through motorway roadworks. highways england say it's considering raising the current speed limit from 50 miles per hour to 60 on quiet days when there are fewer workers nearby. but the union unite says any increase in speeds would endanger lives. the troubled rail operator govia thameslink has released its third new timetable in two months, saying it will be more "robust and reliable".
8:06 am
thameslink, southern and great northern passengers have faced major disruption since a new timetable began on may 20th. ben ando is at london bridge station for us this morning. ben, does this mean an end to the problems? everything will run on time and commuters and travellers will have joyous journeys ahead. it is too soon joyous journeys ahead. it is too soon to say that, but i think also commuters and probably the management of govia thameslink will be at least allowing themselves a small sigh of relief because so far things are considerably better than they have been since may the 20th when the first new timetable was introduced, and since june when the first new timetable was introduced, and sincejune the 4th when a revised timetable was introduced but which did not solve the problems. so far at london bridge i have seen two trains
8:07 am
cancelled. beyond that, some of them area cancelled. beyond that, some of them are a few minutes late, but most of them are running as they should be. they have prioritised the rush hour, the peak services morning and evening, and by moving trains around to ensure there are fewer delays and cancellations. they have done that by cutting some services of the timetable altogether, but ease passengers will have more certainty and they will have confidence that trains will run when they say they will run. thank you very much. thank you very much. kensington palace has released a set of photographs to mark the christening of prince louis. they were taken in the garden and morning room of clarence house following the service last week. photographer matt holyoak, who also took portraits to celebrate the 70th wedding anniversary of the queen and prince philip, said he hoped the images captured the joy of the occasion. everyone looks happy. matt will
8:08 am
bring us up—to—date with the weather inafew bring us up—to—date with the weather in a few minutes. back now to the meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin which is taking place in finland this morning. earlier i spoke to our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet who's in helsinki, and asked how significant it is that today's meeting is the first official summit between the two presidents. it is still being described as informal with no structured agenda. president trump likes to have those look in the eye kind of conversations with other world leaders. he has not hidden his admiration for the russian strongman, vladimir putin. the two leaders will sit down together for an hourand a leaders will sit down together for an hour and a half with their own aids. there is a bit of nervousness about what they will say. then they will bejoined for three
8:09 am
about what they will say. then they will be joined for three hours about what they will say. then they will bejoined for three hours by their closest advisers, including their closest advisers, including theirforeign ministers. their closest advisers, including their foreign ministers. president trump is saying nothing bad can come out of it, and some good may come out of it, and some good may come out of it, and some good may come out of it. we have got an hour of informal chat. is it thenjust out of it. we have got an hour of informal chat. is it then just one on one shooting the breeze? yes! i should make it clear to the viewers that president trump has completely upended traditional notions of diplomacy. usually this kind of high sta kes, diplomacy. usually this kind of high stakes, high—profile summit, a lot of spectacle, would take place after months and sometimes years or decades of painstaking diplomacy. but president trump likes to turn things upside down and he wants the summit first things upside down and he wants the summitfirst thing. things upside down and he wants the summit first thing. he did it with the north korean leader and thejury is still out as to whether that is all about the optics and tim coming away with not much substance. today the question is will this be mostly spectacle or a will there be substance? there could be a lot of
8:10 am
substance, they could talk about the war in the ukraine, the growing nuclear arms race which the world would like to stop, the accusations of russian meddling in the american elections which brought president trump to power. there are a lot of major issues that the whole world is worrying about, but president trump says he just wants to get to know this guy who is a world leader and for president putin there is a lot to gain as well, perhaps more than president trump, to stand shoulder to shoulder as he comes here from basking in the glory of hosting the world cup, and then he will be on an equal footing with an american president. for both of them the fact it takes place at all that is a great success. you can put into context so many things we often question. why helsinki? this is a judicial plays for meetings, but why
8:11 am
helsinki? we are here on the edge of the baltic sea and i think helsinki is synonymous with history, certainly down to the decades of the cold war. this charming capital on the edge of the baltic sea close to russia was the venue of choice for american and soviet presidents. they have met here time and again. fast forward to 2018 and the geographic location is the same, but not what was always called the neutrality of helsinki. helsinki got this message from the protests on the streets. finland is a member of the european union, a proud member, a privileged partner of nato. they are saying, we are not neutral any more, we are on the side of the west. but the mayor said to me we are reliable and predictable and what better place to have an unpredictable summit. interesting how donald trump will
8:12 am
use this in terms of his image. we we re use this in terms of his image. we were talking earlier about his response to an american journalist asking him who his foes were and he very clearly put the eu as one of those. how is that going to lie? yes, you really think the eu is your opponent? i was at the nato summit where he did not talk about nato allies as allies. in president trump's world he does not have allies. he is a man on his own out to change the world, at least that is how he sees it. it is very much transactional relationships. when he goes to nato he does not talk in the same way that british or canadian leaders talk about it, with shared values and collective defence. he is saying, you are not spending enough, the american taxpayer will not pay for you. similarly when he comes to meet the russian leader will he talk
8:13 am
about trade or tariffs? what will he talk about? when he was asked about russia at the nato press conference a few days ago he said, i do not see president putin as an enemy. i do not see him as a friend, at least not see him as a friend, at least not yet. i see him like a competitor. very much talking about the businessman, the property mogul that he is. the big question is, can a businessman, the ceo of america, doa a businessman, the ceo of america, do a deal with the ceo of russia? lise speaking to us. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it looks a bit grave. some of you would love to see this, dark skies and the potential for rain showers. today is the best chance this week of a shower or two coming your way, but by no means
8:14 am
will everyone see rain this week. but we will see something fresher developed over the next 24 hours because we have got are coming off the atlantic on the southern edge of this low pressure. 0n the atlantic on the southern edge of this low pressure. on this web front the rain is very fragmented. there are big gaps around, almost showery weather front. those showers will come and go, but it is edging into this morning in south—west england and wales and in eastern scotland as well. to the west sunny spells and an isolated shower. to the east of that weather front, the an isolated shower. to the east of that weatherfront, the east midlands and in east anglia and the south east it stays dry and sunny. notice the temperature contrasts, the warmer colours towards the east of the weather front, where we could see temperatures in the low 30s once again. still getting into the low to mid 20s in around the weather front.
8:15 am
i have said everyone will see them, but in the evening rush hour there are still a few around. particularly in north east wales and the north west midlands, they could get a bit heavier. easing away from mainland scotla nd heavier. easing away from mainland scotland and still there in shetland. into the evening and overnight we could still see some heavy and thundery downpours in northern england and the north east midlands, but they will fade away tomorrow morning and precious little rain will fall in east anglia and the south east today and ten. a bit on the muggy side, not quite as warm as it has been, but a fresh start to tomorrow morning. it will not be cold, temperatures in double figures for many of you. sadly start for the majority, except in shetland. we will see the cloud increase to produce an isolated shower, but the vast majority still dry.
8:16 am
temperatures tomorrow 20—25d, closer to where they should be for this time of the year and a bit more co mforta ble time of the year and a bit more comfortable in southern and eastern areas. maybe some rain in the north as we go towards the end of the week. but it looks like most of us will stay dry. after a brief dip in temperatures it could start to rise once again. do you remember we were talking about the summer heat wave of 76? have we beaten that? it is difficult. not particularly straightforward. we have had 15 days of 32 degrees or higher back in 1976. in june, of 32 degrees or higher back in 1976. injune, in some parts of the uk, it was drier. the drought we felt in 1976 followed a prolonged
8:17 am
speu felt in 1976 followed a prolonged spell of rainfall. we had the wet spring, wet winter here which led to all the biting flies, as we have been talking about this morning. that are similarities but not quite the same. did you know the horse fly bites by soaring into you and only the female spite because they need the female spite because they need the blood protein for their eggs?” did hear that. not very nice. fascinating, isn't it? we have had a lot of messages. some saying their children were a little bit scared by halep all sounded. 0ne mother said she wished the biologist who was talking to us had said that horse lies were attracted to messy bedrooms. banks will people sending me ideas due to my reactions to the
8:18 am
bites. the celebrations for the world cup final started as the heavens opened over the russian luzhniki stadium and carried on into the early hours of the morning in towns and cities all over the country. let's have a look. the five minutes are up and france are world champions! music good on them. that is a brilliant way to celebrate. the perfect weather for sliding across the pitch as well! as britain's biggest airshow gets under way there could be some big announcements for the uk's aviation industry today, just days after airbus warned that a bad brexit deal could mean
8:19 am
taking its business, and its 14,000 jobs, elsewhere. the prime minister is expected to pledge £300 million worth of extra funding for the sector, creating thousands of newjobs. she'll also unveil plans for research into environmentally friendly aircraft. we can speak to the head of uk operations for airbus, katherine bennett, who is at the farnborough airshow. morning to you. sorry you are not here with us. it looks fabulous. what to think the extra money that has been promised for your industry? would it make a difference? absolutely. it is a great showpiece to be here this week at farnborough, whether world's aviation industry is looking at the uk's. it is so important the government provides the support to ensure aviation continues for years to come and the uk plays its part in that. it sounds
8:20 am
like a lot of money butjust put it into context for us. a certain amount offunding into context for us. a certain amount of funding will go towards helping our very important uk supply chain. they are great at what they do but there are always opportunities to improve competitiveness and opportunities to look at improvements on electric aircraft. we have some exciting projects coming up. also about skills and the future air force in the uk's. we upgrade to designing wings and engines in the uk and the government understands that very much. you say the government understands that and the backdrop to all of this is the brexit white paper, the proposals. how do you feel about that? reading through the paper, it is definitely looking in the right direction. we are cautiously optimistic about the proposals therein. we understand it is in the hands of the politicians
8:21 am
and we want to ensure we give our full input on some of the proposals are now. your company is global, so you will be talking to european policymakers as well. do you think european council will go for it? well, so far, they have given a relatively optimistic reply and, of course, airbus is part of an integrated european operations. we have contacts in government and in brussels and we are doing our best to make sure they understand the issues. that is really important to make sure we thrive. airbus has come out and spoken quite openly about brexit. are you confident thatjobs in the uk are safe, given where we are at at the moment? we wanted to say if there was a no deal, a bad deal, then airbus would have to
8:22 am
considerfuture deal, then airbus would have to consider future investments. deal, then airbus would have to considerfuture investments. that is serious to say is. we have published a thorough risk assessment that was demanded for us. we have big decisions in how we manage the supply chain and frictionless trade is really important. that is why we thought we had to speak out. do you think things are still uncertain about that? negotiations are continuing. we are taking precautions and we will continue to watch the process. one sticking point has been the idea of agreeing toa point has been the idea of agreeing to a common eu rule book. can you see a time when the eu would be able to trade with other countries and have towers but still have eu regulation to follow? -- have tariffs. i can only comment on how it affects the aviation and aerospace industry. we do not want uk rule book or a european rule book. we want global standards.
8:23 am
anything that can help to expand rule books to maximise the industry globally is important. you talk a lot to businesses. what they often say to me years, the technological transformations and the skills gap are the bigger concern for them than brexit. what are your biggest worries? yes, i mean, obviously we are keen to encourage more engineers to come in to aerospace and i do my bit to fight for women, to study stem and come into our industry. we employ a number of apprentices and many go on to get higher engineering degrees, which is a great way to study. they do not have to pay back loa ns. study. they do not have to pay back loans. what is interesting about this industry as it might be skills we do not know we need, for example in digitaland we do not know we need, for example in digital and technologies. people will be doing jobs in ten years'
8:24 am
time at airbus which do not happen today. we want to make a place where people want to come and work in universities and colleges continue to provide the training we need. thank you for your time. do you miss not being there this morning? i would have liked a good look around. we are going to talk world cup now. 0ur reporter, lucy hockings, is in paris. steph ste p h wa nts steph wants to be in farnborough at the airshow but i am quite happy to be in the studio. i do envy you being in paris after a night of celebration is for the world cup. it must have been brilliant. it really was a brilliant night. as the day got under way, people said, i remember where i was in 1998. it was such a special moment. that is the feeling today, magical moment in the
8:25 am
history of france. they won so convincingly last night. celebrations went on well into the night. ifell celebrations went on well into the night. i fell asleep to the sounds of car horns blaring and people chancing on singing on the streets, people ecstatic. —— people chancing. it was the way they won, the way the tea m it was the way they won, the way the team played. the two brilliant goals from mbappe and pogba signalling the deal. i think today will be a day of sore heads. people will slide down to the champs—elysees where the team is due to arrive back this afternoon. then they will go to the elysee palace to meet president macron. bet me show you le figaro. the day of glory has arrived. if you know the french national anthem when you know that is a line from that.
8:26 am
that sums it up. they knew their tea m that sums it up. they knew their team could do it. they were confident and the team delivered. it was a magnificent match. it is the feeling of elation which has been tough for prescience, for france, and president macron in terms of domestic security and its place on the world stage. this helps, doesn't it? it really does. there was a feeling yesterday of relief, to be out on the streets, not for a political reason, not to mourn people who have been killed in a terrorist attack, but to come together as a nation, to celebrate the beautiful game and to celebrate the beautiful game and to celebrate the french victories. president macron was so happy at the luzhniki stadium in moscow. there are pictures around of him celebrating. he classed every player to him and even kissed mbappe on the top of the head. this is good for him and good
8:27 am
for the nation. it was quite a weekend with bastille day on saturday as well. people feeling the need to celebrate the positive in the heat of summer and this victory does that for them, world champions once again. i'm very envious of you being nursed at mac i'm glad you got to see some of the celebrations even though you had to get up to work. —— very envious of you. the rain will affect north—west england through wales and the north west, breaking up into heavy showers
8:28 am
along that line of red into the afternoon. a fresh appeal to the northern and western parts. towards the east of that area of rain it will be another hot and sunny day with temperatures about 28 or 29. tonight though showers will clear away up into the north sea and into tuesday temperatures will get down to 12-14. tuesday temperatures will get down to 12—14. still tuesday temperatures will get down to 12-14. still a tuesday temperatures will get down to 12—14. still a bit uncomfortable for sleeping in the far side this. 0n for sleeping in the far side this. on tuesday there could be showers in the north of england and in the north east of scotland. but over the next few days temperatures start to rise again. this is business live from bbc news with jamie robertson and sally bundock. eu and chinese leaders meet to forge deeper ties as china looks to try and counter rising protectionism from the us. live from london, that's our top story on monday 16thjuly. the eu has urged china,
8:29 am
the us and russia not to start a trade war, saying there is still time to prevent chaos as the rhetoric ramps up on all sides. also in the programme, the us says it won't exempt any industries trading with iran from future sanctions despite a plea from the eu that could keep the nuclear deal alive.
