but today the heat returns. in fact, this weekend the heat and the sunshine returns. i'll fill you in on the details in about 15 minutes. it is saturday 21 july. our top story: 17 people, including nine members of one family, have drowned after an amphibious duck boat carrying tourists sank in stormy weather in the us state of missouri. the vessel was carrying 31 people when it overturned near the town of branson. our north america correspondent james cook reports. oh, this is not good. this duck boat made it back to the shore. the passengers, not wearing lifejackets, apparently unaware of quite how much danger they were in. oh, my god. oh, it's going under. further out, a second duck boat was in bigger trouble, unable to cope with the blast from a severe thunderstorm. of the 31 on board, just 1a survived, brought ashore in shock.

among the dead was a one—year—old baby. emts — tell one of the emts, please. the missouri governor's office told the bbc that nine of the dead were from one family, and two other family members survived. again, i say it's been a long night, and a very trying night. and please keep all of the families involved, and all our first responder personnel, in your thoughts and prayers. now the questions — a weather warning had been issued, so why were the boats on the water? and were the passengers wearing personal flotation devices, or pfds? it has happened so quick. i guess everybody should have had a pfd a little closer, i don't know. you know, they were up over our head when we rode in it. you don't think that stuff like that's going to happen, and then, man, it happened. based on the amphibious landing

craft of the second world war, duck boats are popular with tourists, but their safety record is now under scrutiny. worldwide, more than a0 people have died in accidents involving them in the past 20 years. this is just the latest in a long line of tragedies. james cook, bbc news. the government's multibillion—pound roll out of smart energy meters has been heavily criticised by a group of mps. the programme was meant to give customers a better idea of how much they are spending on energy, but is now believed to be behind schedule and heavily over budget. our business correspondent joe lynam reports. it is one of the biggest infrastructure projects underway at the moment — smart meters in 30 million british homes by 2022, designed to connect households in real—time with their energy suppliers, and hopefully cut bills. but, for one group of mps, things are not going to plan. the cross—party big infrastructure group says the project may miss its target. it says the government is rolling out technology that is already

obsolete in some homes, and the smart meters will go down due to insufficient mobile coverage in some areas. the mps say the expected savings for consumers may also be in doubt. that accusation is rejected by the group which is rolling out the technology. this infrastructure upgrade is the biggest one that's happening in energy in our lifetimes, so it's really important that people get to talk about this debate. but the main thing that everyone needs to do is to get a smart meter, because it's going to save us all billions of pounds over the next few years. the government said smart meters were already benefiting millions of homes by putting consumers in control of their energy. it said it was simply wrong to say that first—generation smart meters were obsolete. police investigating the wiltshire novichok poisonings are expanding their search for clues. it comes after charlie rowley, who was exposed to the substance two weeks ago, was discharged from hospital yesterday. our reporter simonjones is in sailsbury this morning. what is the latest on the police

investigation? well, the cord and surrounds this park in the centre of salisbury, and this has been very much one of the key focus is for the police. they have been carrying out fingertip searches of this park, taking away waste and litter they have been finding as part of this investigation. the whole park is surrounded, there are officers stationed to prevent any member is of the public entering the park, and they are looking at a theory that this was where charlie found the bottle which had been discarded, along with his partner. charlie rowley was released from hospital yesterday. doctors said he had been through an appalling experience that very few people could imagine. they are stressing that he has been through the decontamination process, so through the decontamination process, so they believe there is no further danger to him from the novichok, otherwise he would not have been released from hospital, and they say

there is no further dangerfor members of the public who may come into co nta ct members of the public who may come into contact with him. but there is obviously a great deal of concern here in salisbury, and amesbury, nearby, where he lived, but the hospital and the police say they are going to be giving support to charlie rowley, because not only has he been through what has been described as an appalling experience, but also he has lost his partner, who died after being exposed to novichok. and also he is 110w exposed to novichok. and also he is now going to need support, both physically and mentally, to try and come to terms with what he has been through. the funeral of a six—year—old girl who was killed while on holiday on the isle of bute is due to take place. the body of alesha macphail was found in woods after she went missing earlier this month. a 16—year—old has appeared in court charged with her rape and murder. mourners have been asked to wear pink in her memory. roads, ports and airports are set to be extremely busy this weekend, as millions of us embark on oui’ summer getaways. with schools in england and wales breaking up for the summer,

there could be lengthy delays as more than 9 million road journeys are expected to be made between friday and sunday. ben ando reports. if yesterday was frantic friday, today could be standstill saturday. travel experts say more than 5 million people are expected to set off this weekend on getaway trips at the start of the school holidays, and that means super busy roads, airports and railways. at this time of year, it's really avoiding the peak times. so over the weekend, it tends to be lunchtimes, so if you can go earlier in the morning or late at night. and also, you then get the advantage that you're not stuck in a hot car when the sun is bearing down, or indeed the thunderstorms that are predicted in some areas. for staycationers, roads in england, particularly the m5 and a303, look likely to be the worst—hit, while the port of dover is expecting its busiest day to the continent.

and a further 2.5 million are taking to the skies, with heathrow expecting 500,000, 250,000 at gatwick, and 150,000 passengers through manchester. weekend engineering works are causing disruption on the railways, too. the main line linking london and the west country is blocked, meaning diversions of a0 minutes, and in scotland, the line linking glasgow and motherwell is also closed. and here at king's cross and st pancras, passengers are facing ongoing disruption caused by the botched introduction of a new timetable back in may. but there is one piece of good news for weary rail users. virgin trains are dropping evening peak restrictions every friday until the end of august, in an effort to spread loadings and cut congestion. mike will bring us the latest news from the tour de france in a few minutes, but before then, we can bring you an important update from the tour de turtles. more than 1,000 spectators gathered to cheer on the release of two sea turtles, who were rescued and rehabilitated

at an animal hospital in florida. they have been fitted with satellite trackers and returned to the ocean to become part of the tour de turtles, an annual event that follows the long—distance migration of different species of sea turtles. beautiful pictures. it is not like when, i suppose, you beautiful pictures. it is not like when, isuppose, you or beautiful pictures. it is not like when, i suppose, you or i might step into the sea and hop around because of the freezing cold. i think the total is much more happy, and more graceful. —— turtle. ajudge has made the unusual decision to name two teenagers who were jailed for plotting to kill teachers and students at their school in north yorkshire. thomas wyllie and alex bolland were sentenced to a total of 22

years in prison yesterday. they based their plans on the masarce at colarado's columbine high school in 1999. the judge at leeds crown court said naming them was in the interests of open justice, but lawyers for the boys warned that it could negatively affect their rehabilitation. enver solomon is from just for kids law, a charity that protects the legal rights of children. very good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. ijust wonder, could you give us your reaction to thejudge's wonder, could you give us your reaction to the judge's decision in this case? good morning. i mean, i think it is the wrong decision. as the prosecution in this case explained, if these teenagers are going to be rehabilitated and reintegrated back into society, then there is absolutely no point in naming them. it serves no purpose. the sentence and the punishment has been very severe. they were going to been very severe. they were going to be locked away for ten and 12 years.

there is no need to then damage their future life chances by naming them in the way that the judge has done. what is interesting, you refer to ita done. what is interesting, you refer to it a moment ago, both defence and prosecution teams argued their name should not be released. the media had asked, as they often do in court proceedings, that they should be able to name them, and thejudge weighed up his various factors. that's right, and that's the way the current law is. but it is our view, and we know from representing teenagers and young people in criminal cases, and then seeing what happens to them in the future, that it serves no purpose whatsoever. it is also important to remember, in the digital age, and the legislation that currently exists was set back in1933, that currently exists was set back in 1933, way before the current digital age, and they couldn't imagine then the current situation. but once you are named, it remains in perpetuity. it is there,

available online to be found, for the rest of one's life. and that has consequences forfamily the rest of one's life. and that has consequences for family members and siblings as well, who could be named and shamed as a result. it also means that a young person, when they become an adult and go on to seek employment and form relationships, it is going to be very difficult for them to move on and put the past behind them. is it possible, some people might argue, that part of the message sent out, you are sentenced on the decision made about whether you are named or not, part of the deterrent factor, other people looking on, who might possibly be thinking about being involved in other kinds of criminal activity, if they know that your anonymity is not guaranteed, regardless of your age, that could be an important part in stopping someone else getting involved. what do you say to that? well, i am glad you asked that question. because we have looked into this, and there is no evidence in this country or from any other country but that is indeed the case.

the fact that someone, a teenager, a child, could be named and shamed does not have any impact on their likelihood of rehabilitation, nor is there any evidence of it having a deterrence on others who might be involved in future criminal activities. so really thatjust doesn't wash. it just activities. so really thatjust doesn't wash. itjust doesn't hold up. the reality is that you name and shame a young person and it damages their capacity to be rehabilitated, to reintegrate into society, and surely that is what we should be seeking to maximise. that is in the public interest, that they never go on to commit further crimes. do you think there is ever a situation in which it would bejustified? you very clearly laid out in this case why you think it was inappropriate. would they ever be a circumstance where it would be appropriate? no, in ourview we where it would be appropriate? no, in our view we think that there is no circumstances. and indeed, that is the view shared by the united

nations, who when they looked at this on behalf of the uk government, they were very clear in a message that they sent that it is actually best interests of a child, always, to never be named. to always remain anonymous. and we think that should be the case for all children in all criminal proceedings, and that they should remain anonymous for the rest of their lives. there is absolutely no need. it is not in their back your mac best interests, it is not in the public interest, it is not going to ensure that they ultimately move on and that they turn their lives around and that their life chances are secure for them. what this means, of course, is that i am assuming there will be a point in time when these two young people as they are now will seek new identities. do you know much about where the responsibility lies for that? given that it was the court's responsibility to name them, is the system then required to pay for their new identities, for relocations? how does that work in

practice? well, judgements will be made by professionals in the system about the extent to which, you know, they could be at risk of harm or physical attack from others, either in the prison system, or indeed when they are released and when they are given parole. and thosejudgements will determine whether they indeed need to have a new identity, whether they indeed need to be protected in any way. we know, famously, from the case of the bolger boys, that that happens. i don't know whether it will happen in this case, but it may happen. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: nine of the 17 people who died when a tour boat sank in a missouri lake were from the same family. mps say the multibillion—pound programme to install smart energy meters is behind schedule, uses out—of—date technology, and will save consumers much less than anticipated. we are going to be meeting a little

puppy we are going to be meeting a little punpyin we are going to be meeting a little puppy ina we are going to be meeting a little puppy in a moment who is training to become a hearing dog. not yet, otherwise we would have heard him by now. i think so! before then, let's ta ke now. i think so! before then, let's take a look at the weather which has been iffy over the last couple of days but it will change, helen? yes, imean, the days but it will change, helen? yes, i mean, the iffyi days but it will change, helen? yes, i mean, the iffy i think was welcomed for some, a little bit of rain around, particularly for the garden because things have been looking so parched but yes, it was a brief interlude of which are weather, not that wet for most of us actually, and the heat is building a game. this is the sunrise, taken 30 minutes ago in east anglia, some —— lovely sunshine to be had. some skills are not broken up but most have and the weekend is ahead, we have and the weekend is ahead, we have that bank weather across southern areas, the rainfall chart

for the past 2a hours or so, you can see the rain petering out and still, a few spots of rain, some mist and fog around and another weather front knocking on the door of scotland later in the day but actually, it is back to business as usual, we have become used to the last 1.5 months of dry, warm, sunny weather. in the south, temperatures higher than they did yesterday, 26 or 27, that it could spark some hit and miss showers. the heat is back with us. north—east, some sunshine, temperatures not so high, but more sunshine from more than ireland, the bulk of scotland until later in the day when we have the next weather system starting to come back into the north—west, holding temperatures down a little but if you are heading off to watch the golf at carnoustie, it will be cloudy but i am confident it will be cloudy but i am confident it will be funny as the day wears on. and warmer tomorrow, we are

starting to build the heat again so into the 20s today, low to mid, quite likely, the best of the sunshine in the coast but overnight, we will see a little more mist and fog returning and then we pick up weather fronts, cloud in fog returning and then we pick up weatherfronts, cloud in the north and west, northern ireland, north—western parts of england and wales, with stairs of the humidity will rise again, starting to feel increasingly impressive at night and quite a bit of low cloud and murk around the coast, western scotland, tied in with the weather front. more cloud in northern ireland, north—western parts of england and wales but hopefully more sunday at four or sunshine in the east and it is here where we start to build the heat. possibly 31. the east of northern ireland, the north and west with cloud where we will struggle with cloud where we will struggle with the temperature. the next week, bearing in mind we have already had 33 so far this summer but next week we will build the high pressure to

the south, there will be some exceptions, with the weather front of the north bringing cloud but pulling the heat in in the south means we will see temperatures steadily rising by day and by night as it gets warmer by day, it will be warmer by night and as you can see very little brain on the chart except for the north and west with the weather front around but we could be pushing towards the midthirties into next week —— rain. as we get to the mid 30s, it will be the hottest spell of the summer so far. helen, thank you, we are distracted, you will see why in a second. this is the reason why because... the charity hearing dogs for deaf people currently have an abundance of puppies waiting to be trained to help people. in fact, there are so many that the charity now doesn't have enough volunteers to look after the dogs whilst they learn their skills. ruth turner is here from the charity, and with her is cath kirwan and her 12—week—old puppy button. there she is. isn't she sweet?

also with us this morning is ray williams, who is here to sign this story for us. thank you indeed. explain how— wellcome, explain how it works, how did button come into your life?|j work for the deaf and a support network and a few years ago we raised £10,000 for a hearing dog so it was interesting, i quite like dogs myself, and i contacted hearing dogs for deaf people to say that i could help them and a few months later, we ended up with button. cath a, explain, button comes to you for a, explain, button comes to you for a period of time and in the sure knowledge that at a certain point when button is ready, that he goes on to work. yes, when she is 14 or 16 month she will go to the next stage of training so we are introducing her to day—to—day things, socialising her, asic training with her. the basic

training, talk us through a little bit of the stuff she has to do. with a puppy bit of the stuff she has to do. with a puppy it is that getting them used to places, taking them out and about and all of the things that a working hearing dog might do so she goes into pubs and shops and town, on the bus, ina into pubs and shops and town, on the bus, in a lift, at this age it is getting her to be a nice, friendly dog and getting her well—trained and then in the advanced training, at about 14 month she will learn to do her sound work to she will be taught how to alert a deaf present when a smoke alarm or a doorbell is going off or things that a deaf person might be missing out on. how different is the type of training you can do their to an ordinary family pet? fairly similar, we make it fun and relaxed for the puppies, they are only youngster we do not wa nt they are only youngster we do not want to pressure them, we have a couple of rules with hearing dogs, we teach them certain command of the recipient will say, so to keep it

simple. keep it consistent? yes, and thatis simple. keep it consistent? yes, and that is my role in supporting cast, we are doing the right commands with button. this, this environment here, 02 is being introduced to isn't odd environment. button seems very relaxed. it is a very odd, you know, the light of the whole situation. this button already have— are you already trying things out with button on some of those training things you talked about? yes, we went to a garden centre, throwing her into environment is really, we have had a couple of lectures and she seems to have gotten quite good. and some specifics like the skills button will need later on, at what point, i mean, have you done any of those so far with her? it starts gradually so we get into click training, touching things with her nose, a deaf or hearing dog will on

a deaf present on the leak to tell them there is a sound so she will get used to touching a hand with her nose and being inquisitive about different things and sounds that it isa very different things and sounds that it is a very gentle, gradual start for the puppies. giving them nice and calm. the challenge for you cath is forming the bond with his beautiful dog knowing that you are going to have to say goodbye. we talked about this before we got her but i think because we know she is going to go and help somebody, i think that makes it easier to say goodbye. and help somebody, i think that makes it easier to say goodbyem isa makes it easier to say goodbyem is a wonderful thing to do. it is. she will be a wonderful companion. roos, you have a shortage of people to do this? yes, the more volunteers we have like cath the more puppies we have like cath the more puppies we can train and we have had a puppy boomed this summer that we have more puppies than... the reason you have a shortage you think is because you have to care for them and have a real relationship but knowing they are not going to stay with you?

real relationship but knowing they are not going to stay with you ?m can be hard and it is always the first question people ask, when they meet cath they will ask how they will give button up but when you meet people who have the hearing dogs, they have a chat and talk about how much they need them and how much they have their lives transformed, deaf people say they feel isolated and the hearing dog is not only thing them the sounds that they are missing out on the companionship and their confidence. and you keep in touch and know their progress, it isn't a complete cut—off? progress, it isn't a complete cut-off? you always know they will be cared for and looked after. talk us be cared for and looked after. talk us through the practicalities, if you already have a dog, are you allowed to take on one of these hearing dogs as well? yes, absolutely, depending on the temperament of the existing dog so we want to make sure the dog will not be put out by having the puppy around. making sure that the puppy will not be upset by the pet dog but if they have their own dog are interested, that is fine. and you

get people, excuse the pun, and you see that the environment is ok, yes? my role is to support the volunteers and go and meet the new potential volunteers and give them that, you know, support they need. volunteers and give them that, you know, support they needm volunteers and give them that, you know, support they need. if you have an abundance of puppies, there are certain breeds that at this temperament? labradors like button and cocker spaniels, poodles and cockatoos. they have a particularly good sense of smell like? they are friendly, trainable blogs, they want to be with people, they have intelligence and want to pick up the training and do the work and you can see from button she loves being with people which is what makes a good companion assistance dog. how was cath doing so far? really well! she has got a pocket full of treats. she has got a pocket full of treats. she has treats, she gives button lots of love and does it well. so when will you say goodbye to her? about 14, 16

months. how will you do it? i know, but it is nice watching her develop into what she will do. and then cath will have a choice to raise another puppy will have a choice to raise another puppy for hearing dogs as well. big tick in the box today because this is fantastically behaved. thank you as well, and thank you ray are doing the signing. we will meet another dog later on, a bit further down the training process. we will meetjesse, a working hearing dog. and thank you button as well. millions of passengers pass through the london underground network each year but in the hustle and bustle, hundreds get injured in trips, slips and falls. now, in an effort to cut these numbers, victoria station is taking an unusual approach to get passengers to pay attention to safety announcements. dougal shaw reports. around 250,000 people use victoria station in london each weekday at the past few months, they have been

hearing an unusual voice. mix the station ‘s newest and youngest safety announcer. nine —year—old megan. her proud parents both work at the station. i said to my colleague that my wife was bringing down the two kids to meet the afterwork and he said would meet in mind doing a epa announced that? she does a bit of a young and i knew she would be up for it. i was really nervous we re my would be up for it. i was really nervous were my first was going to do it but then once i did it, i thought this was actually 0k. 0ther everybody and please listen up, take ca re everybody and please listen up, take care on the escalators, hold on to the handrail and your luggage. meghan's recorded announcement is designed to tackle a serious problem— around ten people a day get injured on the underground network. what we have noticed is when people into themselves that is typically because they are not taking enough ca re because they are not taking enough care when using stairs and escalators. at victoria alone on average 15 people a month into this way. some passengers at lyft and's message seems to be getting through.

get your attention straightaway, you think what is going on? everyone takes notice when a child the something and because they don't, you know, they always mean it. so what is somebody who studies the psychology of the human voice make of this? research shows the adult voices are perceived by humans as having more authority and then a high of voices, so i told voice, would not have the authority but perhaps it is the shock factor of using a child's voice. it may be just a short—term result from this shock factor but the station says injuries have dropped by nearly two thirds since megan's announcement started. you think adults listen and after children? um, no. they should listen more to children because sometimes, children are right. google sure, bbc news. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: as the world's best riders gather in cardiff for the british grand prix this weekend, mike has been been finding out what it takes to be a speedway star. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning.

welcome to breakfast, with rachel burden and charlie stayt. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: 17 people, including nine members of one family, have drowned after an amphibious duck boat sank in stormy weather in the us state of missouri. the vessel was carrying 31 people when it overturned near the town of branson. flowers have now been laid on cars which belonged to some of the vicitms. the rollout of smart energy meters is over—budget and using obsolete technology, according to a panel of mps. the british infrastructure group said the programme bad been plagued by repeated delays and cost increases, and looked set to miss its 2020 deadline. the government agency involved has responded saying that millions of people are already saving money after having the meters installed. so this infrastructure upgrade is the biggest one that's happening in energy in our lifetimes, so it's really important that people get to talk about this debate. but the main thing that everyone needs to know is to get a smart meter, because it's going to save us all billions of pounds over the next few years.

police investigating the wiltshire novichok poisonings are expanding their search for clues. it comes after charlie rowley, who was exposed to the substance two weeks ago, was discharged from hospital yesterday. investigators are concentrating on a riverbank near one of the spots mr rowley and his partner, dawn sturgess, visited the day before they collapsed at his house, where police found a bottle containing the deadly nerve agent. the fbi is reported to have seized a recording of president trump discussing making payments to a former playboy model. the tapes were allegedly found during a raid on the office of the president's former lawyer. it comes as the us department ofjustice investigates if hush money was paid to women who claimed they had relationships with mr trump. roads, ports and airports are set to be extremely busy this weekend, as millions begin our summer holidays. with most schools in england and wales breaking up yesterday, there could be lengthy delays as more than 9 million of us are expected to be on the road between friday and sunday. the european space agency

is asking for the public‘s help to name their new mars rover. the robot is currently called exomars, but it is hoped the public can come up with something a little more inspiring, as caroline rigby reports. it is a competition that's, well, out of this world — what to call a robot set to explore mars in 2021. currently called exomars, this six—wheeled rover will travel across the red planet in search of life. capable of drilling to a depth of two metres, it will also look for microbes deep below the surface. it is set to be a fascinating mission, and that is why scientists from the european space agency think this little robot deserves a big name. in america, nasa has previously opted to call its mars rovers names

like opportunity and curiosity, and the european space agency has launched a public competition to find something equally inspiring. any other names, any other ideas? british astronaut tim peake is a leading the hunt, which he hopes will inspire future generations to follow in his footsteps. it's always nice to give something inane, especially if it's going on an ambitious journey to the red planet. well, i don't think we will end up with a boaty mcboatface for this rover. that was the name chosen by more than 100,000 people for this polar explorer ship in 2016. but, just in case you are tempted by the likes of rovey mcroverface for exomars, be warned — an exprrt panel will have the final say. those naming things have a tendency

to go in directions that designers would not want. what have you got for us, mike? well, in the gulf, a lot of big names have gone. two names closer to home, though, fleetwood and mac. there is still an awful lot of americans at the top. look atjordan spieth, as well, shooting up the leaderboard yesterday. they are both chasing the americans, though. 0vernight leader kevin kisner remains at the top of the leaderboard, on six—under, and he is nowjoined by zachjohnson, who played brilliantly yesterday. fleetwood is aiming to become the first englishman since 1992 to win it, and he shot the best second round of all, a 65, to rocket up the leaderboard from nowhere. mcilroy, of course, won the open in 2014, and put together another tidy round of 69, and is four—under—par_

i can't lie about it, if i could pick one tournament in my life to win, it would be the open. i have never been anywhere near before, and so far after two rounds i am up on the leaderboard. it would be something to have in my career, that would be amazing, by the time i'm done with, whenever that is, when i'm playing the open, it is something i would like. you know, i was going really well there, through 11 holes, i had not made a bogey, andl 11 holes, i had not made a bogey, and i would have loved to have a bogey free round. i made a bogey on 11 and 13 but got enough birdies to make up for it. on a day like today, you just need to scramble and keep yourself in it. let's have a look at the leaderboard, then. the two americans at the top, but not running away with it. defending champion jordan speith stormed up the leaderboard with a great second round. tiger woods is six shots back, at even par, and justin rose had to sink a birdie on the 18th just to make the cut.

the leader's yellow jersey at the tour de france. peter sagan of slovakia was the sprint winner of stage 13, as we start to look towards the business end of the tour. but thomas finished safely in the main group, and leads his sky teammate chris froome by one minute and 39 seconds. there was a thriller in the t20 blast at old trafford last night, as lancashire beat yorkshire in the battle of the roses. after a rain delay, lancs captain liam livingstone scored 79 off 37 balls, to help them set yorkshire a big target of 176 from just 14 overs. yorkshire got so so close in reply, england'sjoe root and adam lyth both making 50s. but they fell just short, losing byjust one run in the end. cue wild celebrations

from the home fans. elsewhere there were wins for durham, somerset, hampshire and leicestershire. castleford tigers missed out on the chance to go second in super league, as they lost to the huddersfield giants. castleford lead for much of the first half, but huddersfield took control in the second half, withjermaine mcgillvary helping himself to a hat—trick. elsewhere, leeds rhinos beat widnes, and warrington won on the road at hull kr. it looks like everton are about to make their biggest signing of the summer. they are close to bringing in the brazilian forward richarlison from watford, in a deal that could be worth up to £50 million. he is well known to the new everton boss, marco silva, who managed him during his stint at watford. back to the open now, and tiger woods has had a steady return. his first open in three years, and the more eagle—eyed viewer might have noticed the tape on the back of his neck. it is called kinesiology tape and is worn by an increasing number of sports stars to relieve pain, while supporting muscles, tendons and ligaments. loads of footballers use it and have done for some time. real madrid's gareth bale is a fan. as is andy murray. so should tiger fans be worried

given his past injuries woes? he doesn't seem to think so. i have been bandaged up, taped up, held together with glue, it is just generally not visible. but i have played with a bunch of different tapes and strapping is and braces and all that kind of stuff underneath, and it is what it is. with us now is physiotherapist jack chew. and the mannequin, which i think has been put back together, as it? multi— skilling here. been put back together, as it? multi- skilling here. with more than just tap. so does this tape work medically? is their physical evidence behind it? we are certainly lacking the science to support the vast array of uses you suggested,

and the mechanisms are dubious. but as you say it is popular, so there isa as you say it is popular, so there is a door ajarfor the as you say it is popular, so there is a door ajar for the science to come in on this. but certainly for sporting use and general pain relief, it has certainly come up short. and someone has done some marathons and warn the niece aboard at times, it makes you think you have some support with it?” at times, it makes you think you have some support with it? i think it is quite a light crutch, if ever we we re it is quite a light crutch, if ever we were going to use crutches. this type of tape isn't supportive in the way that a rigid tape would be, like ankle strapping, for example. so the mechanisms are slightly less robust in terms of mechanical resistance to movement, however there is therefore a lot of suggested other things that does because it is more flexible. so this is frank, we need a name. so this is frank, we need a name. so this is frank, we need a name. so this is frank. he is suffering from some kind of back issues like tiger woods has done. what might you be seeking to look at in terms of tape?

well, from looking at the images, it is likely, especially because tiger woods has had other spinal problems, mainly in his lower back, looking at that application, it is likely he would have two strips from the neck either side of the spine. it is difficult for us to tell for sure, but from his injury history as well is the way that application is, it is the way that application is, it is rare that it ends sooner than there. you want to just stick them on? and while you do that, can you explain exactly what it is supposed to do? there are suggestions it is to do? there are suggestions it is to change lymphatic flow and drainage, it is also meant to change bloodflow in circulation. you then apply that down the spine, like so, leaving a gap at the bottom, without putting stretch four traction on there. and what will frank the feeling as you put that on? well, he

is going to be feeling very little. frank has not been talkative this morning. but a normal patient, shall we say, will probably feel a little bit of pressure. certainly the best reason for using it, if there are good reasons for using it, is to give feedback to the skin, our largest sensory organ. and so it is probably much like if you were to have something rubbed or any pressure on an area, or if you were to try and encourage as i stood up and you tap that muscle, as i did so, potentially giving that bit of feedback. that is usually how it is suggested to be working. however, there are controversial effect it is suggested to have, such as bloodflow, drainage, having rid of byproduct. there is no science to support that. it becomes effectively psychological, then, doesn't it? once you get used to using it, it feels more comfortable to do it. dele alli says he uses it as a

superstition. and that has its downsides as well. while we don't wa nt to downsides as well. while we don't want to be amateur psychologists about it, is this a performative thing? there is no reason it couldn't have dropped just shy of his. is that an excuse in the making for tiger woods? do you have to see a physiotherapist first? well, this is one of the fortunate things about it not coming good in the evidence, is it is available in normal stores on the high streets. it is not laced with anything, it hasn't got any anaesthetic, so not really. people that purport to sell the ultimate training course for it, essentially it isa training course for it, essentially it is a fairly benign product. it is something that while it has some interesting effect and there is room for it to do more, i don't think it is necessarily something that you can buy, there are leaflets with the boxes and you can just give it a go. his arms are a little loose, but we

managed to get through it. thank you very much. a poor old frank. time to turn the hal and in just be grateful that charlie cannot grab any of yourlimbs. grateful that charlie cannot grab any of your limbs. i did want to be insulted about 30 minutes ago with those puppies! it is beautiful, i thought i would show you this weather watcher pitcher, these are called mayors tales, it is what we called mayors tales, it is what we call them cloud wise. this is ashbourne in doubt wish 30 minutes ago. well and truly behind the front. i drove the mist in the weather front in the south and it is murky and dan across parts of southern parts of the uk and also of through the irish sea areas to the coast of england and wales. but it isa coast of england and wales. but it is a nice day. after every little bit of greenock through the garden yesterday and overnight, it is an improving pick, the sunshine should be around, it will trigger the odd sharp shower, fill the hit and miss and no guarantee of more rain for the garden at temperatures higher,

generally across england and wales except for the north—east but we have the highest cams yesterday. the best of the sunshine is around the coast. the fairweather cloud builds up. lovely sunshine to the east of scotla nd up. lovely sunshine to the east of scotland and further east, a decent start in northern ireland but the cloud comes in but it is the opposite at carnoustie we will the cloud this morning and then the sun later. some warmth in it both today and increasingly so tomorrow's we get what is called a fur in effect, the wind comes over the mountain and sinks down it dries the air down and warms it up. today, the weather front this even in comes in more widely to the north—west of scotland, not a great deal of rain but clearly the humidity will be rising with the moisture around and we will see more fog around the coast of western scotland but again the inland across england and wales and it will be warm tonight so slightly less co mforta ble and it will be warm tonight so slightly less comfortable than last night. that is a pattern that will

continue because as temperatures rise by day and they are expected across england vows to rise, peaking around 30 potentially more cloud further north and west but it will be sunny for the east of scotland, north—east england, in eastern northern ireland, temperatures upon those today but what happens at this time of year is because the sun's energy comes into the is there and we lose less by night because the days are longer and the sun is stronger gradually by date the temperatures will be rising at giving that we will have sunshine, you need clear skies for the sunshine, and it will not drop as much either overnight so we will find happening as we move into next week is that temperatures particularly closer to the heat source across southern and eastern areas from the weather fronts will climb to 33 possibly conservative, we have already had that temperatures so far this summer, a little hotter again but not for all because again we have the weather front in the north and west which could give some more welcome rain. it isa could give some more welcome rain. it is a flip of the coin so you'd love it or hate it, this heat. i

mean, ido love it or hate it, this heat. i mean, i do quite like it, the look of the sunshine in the morning, it gives you a lift for the day. we'll be back with the headlines at 8:00 but now, it's time for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. sir cliff richard wins his case against the bbc, but was the finding a triumph for the individual‘s right to privacy, or a threat to press freedom? and, as the bbc says it may appeal, was its decision to show extensive helicopter footage of officers searching his house editorially justified? it was almost four years ago that bbc news revealed sir cliff richard was being investigated about a claim of historical child sexual assault, and showed helicopter pictures of south yorkshire police officers searching his home. there were many complaints from those watching, and the bbc‘s head of newsgathering, jonathan munro, came on newswatch shortly after to defend the coverage. he was pressed by viewers particularly on the decision to send

up that helicopter and broadcast live footage of the raid. the helicopter is another newsgathering resource, like deploying a camera crew at ground level. any visual medium, television or a still photographer, is going to want to get a clear view of an event happening, which is newsworthy, it was a newsworthy event, as anthony says himself. getting a clear view, and only by getting that could we see how many officers were involved, and viewers could make a judgement about whether they felt the search was appropriate, in terms of its size and scale. the helicopter footage on the 10:00 news and the 6:00 news that evening was only 21 seconds of coverage, and there was less than a minute of live helicopter coverage right towards the end of the search, in the afternoon. so we used a very restrained portion of the helicopter. the investigation was later dropped because of lack of evidence and sir cliff richard was never arrested. the singer then sued the bbc, accusing it of invading his privacy. on wednesday, mrjustice newey found in his favour,

and hundreds of viewers told the bbc they agreed with that decision. one of them recorded this video for us. it was explained that the coverage of the event was given the green light to proceed, as it was deemed to be in the public interest. being a fully paid—up member of the public, at no time did i feel it was in my interest. far from it. as a licence payer, i strongly objected to the use of a helicopter hovering above sir cliff richard's home, streaming live pictures of police with gloved hands rifling through his belongings. how can this possibly be in the public interest? this is no justification whatsoever. the judge told the bbc to pay an initial £210,000 in damages, as well as costs, saying, knowing sir cliff richard was under investigation might be of interest to the gossip—mongers, but does not contribute materially to the public interest. he said the broadcast showed a breathless degree of sensationalism, and cited

the bbc‘s decision to enter the coverage for a scoop of the year award as an aggravating factor in hisjudgement. the bbc did not agree with the finding. thejudge has also made clear that, even if there'd been no footage of the search and the story had less prominent, the very naming of sir cliff would have been unlawful. this creates a significant shift against press freedom. this means police investigations of searches of people's homes could go unreported and unscrutinised. it will put decision—making about naming individuals in the hands of police over the public‘s right to know. well, nobody from the bbc was available to elaborate for us today, but i am joined by the legal commentator and former bbc correspondentjoshua rozenberg, and also by one of the many viewers who contacted us on the issue, diana robertson. diana, first of all, what did you think of the bbc‘s defence?

my issues were twofold. 0ne, ifelt the initial coverage with the helicopter was incredibly intrusive. and i mean, surely, laws of trespass would suggest that you shouldn't fly over somebody‘s house taking photographs. but the other thing was that the implication was that sir cliff richard was guilty before any police action had confirmed that, and so he was damned even when he was innocent. he was entitled to privacy before he was charged with anything and the bbc did not do its due diligence before making this a headline item, and basically going for this sensational aspect of it. joshua, a lot of people thought the bbc did get it wrong at the time. what is your view on thejudge's decision? well, the judge said he wasn't making a new law, he was simply applying

the human rights act, which was passed by parliament 20 years ago. from the bbc's point of view, they might have thought that it was a new law because until now, broadcasters and journalists have thought that they can report a police raid, they can report that somebody is the subject of an investigation. well, no, said thejudge, you can't do that anymore. that's part of the right of privacy that a person has under the human rights act, and that's what the bbc will have to observe in the future. but that's not quite right. the judge said journalists can cite the public interest, but he says there was not one here? he said "you have to balance an individuals right of privacy against the broadcaster's right to freedom of expression". these are the two conflicting rights in the human rights convention articles. and having made that balance, he decided to come down in favour of sir cliff richard. he said sir cliff's right to privacy outweighed the bbc's right to freedom of expression. there may be cases in the future

where the balance would come the other way, so it's not going to be a total ban on naming people who are the subject of inquiries, but i think journalists are going to think twice before they do it in future. i think there is a very clear red line here. they should not name anybody until the police have reason to prosecute. i guess the bbc will probably argue that, in the interests of other witnesses coming forward, the very fact that a named person is in the public eye will bolster the case, if you like, for the prosecution. however, once you have made allegations of that nature against somebody, you cannot unmake them. you know, whilst the ruling in court has completely exonerated sir cliff, the story remains. and nothing, no apology, will actually take that harm away. joshua, the bbc's push for an exclusive on this, you know, they entered that coverage for an award. they led on the story, the helicopter.

as a former correspondent of the bbc, how do you feel about that whole editorial aspect of it? if it was the right story to tell at the right time, then that was the right way to tell it. nothing wrong with illustrating it in a way that's going to draw attention to it and to demonstrate what's going on. it's very difficult to cover a police raid on television from outside a brick wall. thought —— and therefore, you can see why broadcasters thought if we have access to a helicopter, this will be a way of bringing the story alive. but the broader point is whether it was proper to do the story in the first place, and the judge said the bbc would have been wrong even if it had been somebody like you reading the story in the studio with a still picture of sir cliff richard behind your face. but of course, it wasn't the only way they covered it. they did do that extra coverage. diana, the bbc is considering appealing against this ruling. what would you say to bbc bosses? 0n the one hand, fran unsworth was copious in her apology

to the cliff richard. however, to then come out and say we're considering an appeal undermines the apology, does it not? you know, it makes it less sincere, and it's kind of unfinished business because what that's actually saying is, "judge, we think you got this wrong." it is possible, isn't it, though, for the bbc to say, we're sorry for what sir cliff richard went through, but we thought we were doing the right thing at the time, and we think that we should be allowed to name people who are the subject of investigations. don't forget, four years ago, we'd had all these other people who were convicted or charged of child six cases — and particularlyjimmy savile — which the bbc failed to report at the time. so you can see why the bbc might think it is in the public interest to report allegations of this kind, even though they may be sorry for what sir cliff richard went through. you raised a very interesting point, and gloria hunniford, who is a close friend of sir cliff,

observed when i saw her interviewed this morning that his issue was never freedom of the press, it was invasion of privacy. and you're quite right in that, if we didn't have the press to keep, sadly, both our politicians and police in order, cases like rotherham might never have come to light. but we have a principle in this country of being innocent until proven guilty, and that seems to have kind of been ignored. thank you both, diana robertson and joshua rozenberg. finally, this weekend sees the last ever edition of the sunday politics as a network programme, though there will still be half—hour programmes for each of the nations and english regions. it's part of a series of changes to the bbc's output from westminster, which also sees the daily politics replaced by a new daily programme, politics live, and a reduction in broadcasting by the bbc parliament channel. behind the moves, the bbc says,

is a greater emphasis on digital and social coverage, and the need to make cost savings of £18 million by 2022. but some members of the audience are unhappy, including christine parsons. and craig walker was also displeased. well, in response to that, bbc news told us: thank you for all your

comments this week. we're off the air for a few weeks now, but please continue to share with us your opinions on bbc news and current affairs. you can call us and share with us your opinions and do have a look at our website. that's all from us. we'll be back after our summer break to hear more of your thoughts about bbc news coverage. goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: 17 dead, nine of them from the same family. tributes are paid to the tourists who drowned when a duck boat sank in the us state of missouri. not so clever. mps deliver a damning verdict on the roll out of energy smart meters. guilty of planning mass murder,

but children's charities question a judge's decision to name two teenagers who plotted a school shooting in north yorkshire. big hits from fleetwood and mac leave them well placed at the open. england's tommy fleetwood is just one shot off the lead at carnoustie, while northern ireland's rory mclroy is also right in the mix. boxing, mindfulness and financial management. we'll hear about a 21st century revamp for the girl guides as they launch hundreds of new badges and activities. good morning. following yesterday pots rain, still murky first thing, but it is cleaning away and there will be plenty more dry and sunny weather on offer today, and increasingly on this weekend and
