own intelligence agency and said, i fully believe the word of the man i have just been speaking to the hours. he said he didn't do it so it means he didn't do it. he also said as well that russia's offered to help with the investigation, and thinking that was a good idea. help with the investigation, and thinking that was a good idealj would thinking that was a good ideal would be looking into that to be perfectly honest because it makes sense for me. this is a massive story that donald trump has basically stood up and sat in vladimir putin's pocket and has just com pletely vladimir putin's pocket and has just completely towed the russian line. the line is still even with donald trump being aligned with vladimir putin, the line in moscow times is a news conference. they are still rambling on utter rubbish. the moscow times is not necessarily the mouthpiece of the russian administration. it is read by many ex pats administration. it is read by many expats based in russia. it is quite interesting to look at their take on

browning. buildings and mr rear markings are starting to appear, which is quite intriguing. as the sun is drying out these vast areas, these are areas that the sun has not dried out for quite a long time. we have drying technology hovering above. drones are filming everything. the sun is parting this ground and what is left when all of the lush green grass grows away from these areas, they dry out before others because they are ruins of various different structures underneath the ground which now shows up, and archaeologists are seeing this and seeing these for the first time. we have a grand 18th—century mansion was demolished in 1938 after a liar. the economic downturn. you can see an outline of this mansion. this is in nottinghamshire. also, other ancient

discoveries are being found all over the country, which is absolutely fascinating. in the meantime, we have to get used hosepipe ban by the looks. you cannot sleep at night and you cannot use your hosepipe any more. but it is a barbecue summer. but you can see these circles in the ground. looking on the bright side. we have been promising a barbecue three years. we have got one. good to see you. thank you for your comments about netflix. it has been really interesting to hear. i am back shortly. see you soon. hi — bye. —— bye— bye. hello there. monday was a day of contrast for the weather here in the uk. we had the searing heat in the east and temperatures pushed 32 degrees celsius at gravesend in kent. but for further north and west, for many areas, it was a fresher day. we had a weather front across us.
5:55 am
and this is how it looked in north yorkshire through the afternoon. now, that weather front is a cold weather front, and it's been pushing its thundery rain eastwards and northwards through the night. and because it's called a cold weather front, yes, you've guessed it, it is introducing cooler air. so we will notice a fresher feel to the weather into tuesday, except perhaps the far south and east. there will still be some thundery rain around north—eastern areas first thing and certainly through shetland. but a much more comfortable night, i think, will have passed for many of us, and the coming few nights should be a bit more comfortable as well, because not only are we cooling the air down, but we are losing the humidity. a lovely start to the day, plenty of sunshine, which will clear any mist quite quickly. the cloud will tend to bubble up, fair weather cloud, and it will produce a few showers as we go through the afternoon, particularly across northern england. scotland, there could be some heavy ones, slow—moving ones across the north and east with the light winds, but there will be very few showers elsewhere. but in contrast to monday, temperatures will be notably down across england and wales and it won't feel quite so intense, the heat.
5:56 am
still lovely and warm, though, in the sunshine. and more of that will follow as we move into wednesday, that high pressure starts to build in again, so another comfortable night tuesday into wednesday, and plenty of sunshine first thing, any mist, as we'll see this morning, clears quickly. and then we will see a scattering of showers, mostly in the west, possibly in scotland, one or two heavy ones as well, but, by and large, they'll be the exception rather than the rule. temperatures will start recover a little bit as we see more heat coming in from the sun than we lose. the temperatures are creeping up a degree on wednesday. they'll creep up another degree on thursday with high pressure with us. very few showers, but later, thursday into friday, we'll watch the approach of this low pressure, it's been giving us a bit of headache all week, but at the moment, it looks as if it will bring showery rain, mostly to scotland, to northern ireland, possibly northern parts of england and wales as well, but for the bulk of england and wales, again, it will be quite hot and dry, temperatures exceeding those of thursday by another degree. and there'll be a little bit of brightness between the showery rain further north as well.
5:57 am
and with high pressure re—establishing itself as we go towards the weekend, it will push the unsettled weather away. and, actually, there will be a lot of dry and fine weather. but you can see for yourselves there's still that risk of quite a bit of cloud even into saturday in the north and west, particularly scotland, but at the moment, the weekend is looking very promising, particularly in central and southern areas. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: millions of people in north—west england face a hosepipe ban, as water companies warn supplies are running low. theresa may narrowly avoids a commons defeat over her brexit plans, but faces further challenges today as mps debate trade. donald trump arrives home from his summit with president putin to a furious backlash in washington. good morning. the percentage of women in britain's top boardrooms is at an all time high, but there's still a long way to go when it comes to the top positions.
