6:02 am
amongst conservative activist and the wider electorate. that tells you something, i think. the wider electorate. that tells you something, ithink. he is the wider electorate. that tells you something, i think. he is not the only one with a few comments in the sunday newspapers. take a look at the sunday express this morning and his predecessor david davis is saying the government should start again as faras saying the government should start again as far as its outlook on brexit is concerned. he also says that the world would not fall in if there was no deal at all. and you can hearfrom dominic raab, the brexit secretary, as well as sirjohn major, when they speak to andrew marr later this morning. that follows us at 9 o'clock here on bbc one. police officers in protective clothing are continuing to search a park in salisbury, where they believe a couple were poisoned by novichok. charlie rowley, whose partner dawn sturgess died, has left hospital but is still unable to return to his home, which remains cordoned off. katy austin reports. the source of the novichok has been found at forensic searches go on. a
6:03 am
pipe band was the focus on saturday. nearly two weeks after dawn stu rgess died, charlie rowley was discharged from hospital, his brother has not been able to contact him since.” phoned the hospital and they confirmed he had been released and there was an official statement. i have not spoken to him yet but i hope to in the next few days. have not spoken to him yet but i hope to in the next few daysm have not spoken to him yet but i hope to in the next few days. it was at charlie rowley‘s home in amesbury but a small bottle containing the nerve agent was found. charlie has 110w nerve agent was found. charlie has now spoken with detectives were looking into what he has told them that while there is no evidence he 01’ that while there is no evidence he or dawn sturgess were specifically targeted, charlie has been given personal safety advice. it is unclear where he is at the moment or whether he will be able to return to normal life soon will stop people in salisbury also wonder when normality can return to their city. salisbury also wonder when normality can return to their cityli salisbury also wonder when normality can return to their city. i feel as a local but we haven't necessarily beenin a local but we haven't necessarily been in the picture as to what is going on because we are very local, we live five minutes away from this,
6:04 am
and the salisbury it has been hugely disruptive, it is affecting the city which is tragic. i don't actually find it that worrying. it is reassuring they are doing something. they have got to be covered to be able to look what they are looking for and if they think every something there they need to be completely covered the sooner they find that they are looking for the better. at the investigation into the latest tragic contamination incident is farfrom the latest tragic contamination incident is far from over with counterterror detective is not yet saying who they think is responsible. mps are calling for a consultation on whether to ban the sale of real fur in the uk. the environment, food and rural affairs committee has been investigating why many high street retailers illegally sold fur described as fake, which had in fact come from animals. sarah corker reports. in the 1990s, evocative antifur campaigns raised awareness of the issue. decades on, one go for some shoppers have been unwittingly
6:05 am
buying real fur labelled as fake. it emerged several major retailers had sold products described as artificial at tests showed were made from fox, rabbit and chinchilla. now an enquiry by the environment, food and rural affairs committee accuses retailers of being complacent about the problem. disgusting. absolutely disgusting. i would the problem. disgusting. absolutely disgusting. iwould be the problem. disgusting. absolutely disgusting. i would be devastated if i went and brought an item but i thought was fake fur and it turned out that some poor animal, or animals, had been slaughtered. i'd be devastated. the reason why people buy fake fur is though they are not buying real fur so it is pretty shocking but they can get away with that. i would be discussed to find out that something was animal product that i had not knowingly bought into. sol product that i had not knowingly bought into. so i don't think it is a cce pta ble bought into. so i don't think it is acceptable in any way, shape or form. fur farming was banned in the uk in 2000 but it is legal to sell some types of real fur imported from other countries if it is accurately labelled. and eu regulations to ban the trade—off are from domestic
6:06 am
cats, dogs or commercial seal hunt. during this enquiry evidence was taken from retailers here in camden to learn how real fur was mis— sold as fake. and what changes have been put in place to make sure it does not happen again. in the report called for clearer labelling and stronger enforcement of the rules by trading standards. mps also want the government to begin a consultation on whether the sale of all types of real fur should on whether the sale of all types of realfur should be on whether the sale of all types of real fur should be outlawed. we'll be speaking to conservative mp neil parish who chairs the environment, food and rural affairs committee just after 8:00. a woman who lost nine members of her family in a tourist boat accident on a lake in the united states has been describing the disaster. tia coleman said passengers were told they would not need life jackets, but if she had managed to reach one, she might have saved her three children. 1a other passengers were killed in the disaster. i couldn't see anybody, couldn't hear anything, i could hear screams,
6:07 am
it felt like i was out there on my own and i was yelling and i was screaming and finally i said" lord, just let me die, let me die." i said i can't keep drowning, ijust can't keep drowning, and that is how i felt, and then ijust let go. and i started floating. police in los angeles have arrested a suspect after he held a0 people hostage inside a supermarket for three hours. the gunman barricaded himself inside the store after crashing his car and exchanging fire with officers. a woman was shot dead inside the shop before he surrendered. japan is in the grip of an intense heatwave that has killed more than 30 people and caused thousands more to be taken ill. temperatures reached 40.7 degrees celsius during a record—breaking week where thermometers haven't dipped below 38 degrees. 0ur correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes in tokyo. what advice is being given to keep people safe? they are telling people to stay in
6:08 am
doors and to stay hydrated and this after a number of incidents here which were preventable and have led to some rather really appalling stories where, for example, a school in tokyo last week, 25 students were sent to hospital with heat exhaustion after they were taken to an outdoor activity for two hours in the sun. another place in central japan where other students were outside in the midday sun for two hours, a six —year—old child died there. they are now saying this needs to be taken very seriously and this heat, it is 36 degrees today in tokyo, will continue at least for another 7— ten days. tokyo, will continue at least for another 7- ten days. it is pretty warm here but is this unusual for japan? it isn't unusual to get to these sorts of temperatures at this time of year but what is unusual,
6:09 am
rather the same date in the uk, the duration of the heatwave. it started two weeks ago and will go on for one more, it is a high—pressure dome are similarto more, it is a high—pressure dome are similar to what you have had in the uk, sitting over the top ofjapan and the korean peninsula and just not moving for a long time. unlike in the uk were i think you are getting 30— 31, we are getting 36— 40 getting 30— 31, we are getting 36— a0 and it means the human body temperature of 37, standing still here today, you are sweating just to maintain your body temperature at its normal level. that is why it is really important for everyone to be drinking and staying in the shade. thank you indeed. turning five is a milestone for any youngster, but for prince george, the occasion has been marked with the release of his latest official photograph. the third in line's birthday is today and he is flashing a beaming grin for the photo, which was taken after the christening of his baby brother louis last week. the young prince is no stranger to taking a good photograph, though. this is one of the first pictures we saw of him back injuly 2013.
6:10 am
a year later, we caught another glimpse of that cheeky smile in his christmas portrait. at two, he was keeping the duchess busy as he started to explore a little bit more. aged 3 and with another sibling vying for his parents' attention, he was still managing to make his presence felt. and this picture of the young prince shows him on his first day of school. pulling a face that probably most children pull on their first day of school. not smiling in that one, i noticed. happy birthday, prince george. here on breakfast, we have been reminding you of the need to keep your pets cool during the heatwave but it isn't just household animals that need a bit of help. these red squirrels were rescued from the berlin—brandenburg region of germany because they were dehydrated. the early summer meant many of the fruits and nuts they rely on fell too early. so vets have been hydrating them by hand and looking
6:11 am
after the animals in enclosures until they are well enough to be released. squirrel experts also say we should keep water in our gardens during the hot weather. there they are. keep them hydrated. water in your garden. i old salts of advice, will talk about sunburn later but rural water? that is a new one. “— later but rural water? that is a new one. —— squirrel. shall we look at the papers? let's. the sunday times. prince george i think pretty much on everything i think, all of the front pages. talking about brexit of course, voters turned the far right, boris and remain a new poll this morning says it will cause all the problems and issues and concerns
6:12 am
inside number ten, saying that would theresa may's checkers deal be good 01’ theresa may's checkers deal be good or bad for britain? a2%, a3% say bad and only 12% would do that is the lede in the sunday times. the sunday telegraph, leading with dominic raab's new first newspaper interview, no trade deal, no cash to the eu. britain will refuse to pay its £39 billion divorce bill to brussels if the european union fails to agree a trade deal. that has come from the new brexit secretary who will of course be on the andrew marr show later today. that's after nine o'clock this morning and no doubt they will go into that. why george, he's five already. they are running the official photograph of prince george today. also an interesting story about tony blair who they say is quietly advising the saudi government under and £9 —— £9
6:13 am
million deal under his institute for global change. more on that in the sunday telegraph today. more brexit of the front page of the observer but talking about the issues with vote leave and its campaign funding being exceeded, the front page is pretty much the only paper today not going with a picture of prince george. this is the man who exposed the overspending in the vote leave campaign, he has lost almost everything is in speaking out since blowing the whistle, he says. and the daily mail is running a different story, plane crazy, the mod blow $10.5 billion on power that doesn't need. —— on planes. that is the sunday mail investigation and they also said they have a 12 page souvenir pull—out arcing prince george's fifth birthday. ok, you are watching breakfast on bbc one. it is
6:14 am
quarter past six. 1a, in fact. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: an ultimatum for the eu from the new brexit secretary — make a trade deal or the so—called divorce bill won't be paid. mps call for the government to consider a total ban on sales of real fur. here is helen with a look at this morning's weather. my my screen or your screen? good morning to you both, hello there. good morning. you have probably been hearing in the last day or two that the heatwave is returning, and although it will not be incredibly sunny for most of us today it will bea sunny for most of us today it will be a warm day compared with yesterday. but it was warm enough. temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, really, here in the south as we go through next week. quite consistently, as well. a bit of rain through friday and the start of the weekend. it has left a legacy of warm moist air coming in off the
6:15 am
atlantic. so that is giving us the cloud. these weather fronts atlantic. so that is giving us the cloud. these weatherfronts hanging around across the north have introduced rain into the north and west. temperatures in the last hour 01’ so west. temperatures in the last hour or so have dipped below 20 degrees in london itself. many places starting the day at around 15 or 16 degrees, which is a few degrees short of what you would expect at this time of day. very warm and the humidity is increasing today. so more humid air making it feel warmer, as well. through the day, some mist will clear this morning. could be a very isolated shower perhaps for kent at temperatures higher by a degree or so. similarly across the eastern side of northern ireland and the eastern scotland. for the north and west of scotland in particular there will be more cloud and for northern ireland compared with yesterday. not a great deal of rain, nuisance value more than anything, just spoiling the day a little. that patchy rain continues on and off in the north—west
6:16 am
overnight tonight. very warm, with quite a bit of coastal and hill fog in the north and west. temperatures if anything probably a degree higher than we have seen through the night just gone. as we move into monday, those weather fronts still with us in the north, not giving a great deal of rain, but giving us quite a deal of rain, but giving us quite a deal of rain, but giving us quite a deal of cloud. temperatures still into the low 20s. that he building further south and east. it looks like another very warm if not warm day to come. for much of next week we keep the weather fronts towards the north. so not a great deal of rain, we don't think, until late in the week. the heat coming from africa across iberia and building across southern and eastern areas in particular. 33 is the highest we have seen so far this year, it happened at the end ofjune so we could be pushing towards that temperature through the week, perhaps a degree or so more. it will be hot. the concern with a lot of
6:17 am
children of school. still the potential for strong sunshine and heat exhaustion clearly a concern because it will notjust be hot by day. it will be quite sultry by night as well. thank you very much. we will try not to be those people who complain it is too hot next week. we will ask you again about wednesday, see what you think then. now on breakfast, it is time for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, maybe some singing, here's mark kermode. you cannot fail to notice that out this week is mamma mia! here we go again. i know you're a huge abba fan. i can't wait to discuss this with you. also out this week, hotel artemis, a future noir thriller withjodie
6:18 am
foster. and the receptionist, a low—budget but brave film from jenny lu. here we go again! so, now, first question, where do you stand on the first mamma mia!? yeah, you see, massive abba fan of more than a0 years standing, really didn't think the first one was very good. ok, see, the thing is, i watched the first one and i thought, "this isn't very good, this isn't very good, this isn't very good. oh, good heavens, i'm completely going with it!" i was completely... were there tears? yes, there was tears! and so, ten years later, i thought they can't possibly repeat this phenomenon because it was one of those things, it really questioned my entire ideas of good and bad, and whether or not there was any role for critics in the world! so now, a decade after the original, we have a prequel—sequel hybrid. yes, structurally, it's godfather ii! and so back in 1979, lilyjames is the young donna. she graduates from oxford and she goes off on the holiday that's the beginning of all the trouble. in the present day, her daughter, amanda seyfried, is opening the newly refurbished
6:19 am
hotel bella donna, and she is calling around some old friends because history is repeating itself. see what i did there?! i see where it's going! here's a clip. # look into his angel eyes, one look and you're hypnotised. # he'll take your heart and you must pay the price. # look into his angel eyes, you'll think you're in paradise. # and one day you'll find out he wears a disguise... # don't look too deep into those angel eyes. # oh, no, no, no.# i don't think it's camp enough! ok, here's what i feel. firstly, julie walters, in terms of physical comedy... on a technical level, ok, so i think this is slicker than the original. this is directed by ol parker — the original was phyllida lloyd. this has sort of slightly smoother camera moves. there are slightly better choreographed dance sequences.
6:20 am
because it's happening in split time and temporal structures, we get these scenes which mirror each other, so from the point of view of construction of a film, its really good. we have all the old cast back again and some new cast members playing the old cast in their younger incarnations. they're a very, very likeable cast. i mean, lilyjames could charm the birds out of the trees. none of that would matter if the thing didn't have any emotional punch, and it did. about 10—15 minutes in, the sequence where they did i kissed the teacher, i started having just a little cry. just a little quiet cry. and then when pierce brosnan took a very gentle run at a song... because, pierce, god bless him... bless him, he can't sing, can he? we are allowed to say that. you can't sing, you can't dance, but you can still have the time of your life! so then — so here's the big question, what's the greatest abba song ever recorded ? dancing queen!
6:21 am
no, wrong. no? i'm right! no, you're not. the greatest abba song ever recorded is my love, my life from arrival. oh, that's beautiful, but that's a heartbreaker. and the drama moves towards it. and i promise you when my love, my life happens, and i won't spoil the moment it happened, i was in floods of tears. knowing the song, i can imagine. i was sobbing, i was... i was actually having to stop myself from making a noise in the screening because i thought all these other people would think, "what on earth is he doing?" i laughed, i smiled, i enjoyed it, i loved it to pieces! and the thing you always think about a film is "is there any way in which this film could have been better?" well, i suppose having dwayne ‘the rock'johnson in it might‘ve, but other than that, it could not possibly have been improved. i thought it was absolutely fabulous. i cannot wait to go and see it again. it topped the original. it sent me out with a... there's the thing, you see — you're saying that a sequel is better than the original. how often does that happen? i'm saying that in the case of both the sequel and the original, i lost all sense of critical faculty and ijust felt myself going with it. and, i mean, were i a braver man, i would've been dancing in the aisles.
6:22 am
it was — and particularly, as things are at the moment, it's the film that you really need. and i promise you, if you can get through my love, my life without floods of tears, then you're dead to me. it's kind of that and mary poppins at the moment. those are the two touchdowns. you will love it. well, i can tell that i will. and i didn't like the first one because i felt there were too many people in it who couldn't sing, and that really annoyed me. this is better. well, there are still some people who can't sing. but it's fine, because when they do the songs that matter, they can sing. someone just said to me that we can't talk about this film for the whole programme, which is very disappointing, because we could. i actually feel that we can! no, we could, but we have to move on to very, very, very different matters. ok, hotel artemis, which is this future noir dystopian thriller. jodie foster runs this hotel — this is ten years in the future, los angeles, there are riots — and she runs this hotel that basically takes in outlaws and bandits and she patches them up after they've got wounded. and the cast includesjeff goldblum, zachary quinto, sterling k brown and, of course, jodie foster.
6:23 am
i thought it was kind of disposable fun. i'm saying that after mamma mia that this is the disposable fun thing. it's quite slickly done. it has a cartoonish feel to it. it's written and directed by drew pearce. there are some quite stylishly mounted sort of violent set pieces which are all, as i said, done in a very cartoonish way. it doesn't have much emotional clout, except for the fact at the centre of it you do have jodie foster playing this character who has a darkness in her past, which she manages to convey. there's also a brilliant comic turn by dave bautista, who makes the most of a recurring joke. you know, he's a man mountain of a guy but he's a medical orderly, and he keeps showing everyone his badge to demonstrate that he is actually a medical orderly and they must take him seriously. it's kind of ok, it's not great — it's not mamma mia! here we go again, let's be honest, but it's kind of ok! and a totally different turn for the third film, which i haven't seen but by everything i've read is really emotional in a very different way. it is, it's very tough. it's a drama written and directed byjenny lu.
6:24 am
it's a taiwanese graduate who can't find work, ends up taking a job in an illegal massage parlour. here's a clip. she's so nice, thank you. see, i told you! bye! bye — bye. i'll be back! come again soon. thank you so much, bye—bye. bye! bye — bye! so you can see from that, it's a resolutely unglamorous
6:25 am
and actually very grim film. the writer was inspired to write it after a true story of somebody that she knew who was working somewhere and, you know, had her dreams crushed and ended up committing suicide. what i like about this film is that it feels very real. it is very gritty. it's done with a lot of heart and a lot of integrity. the way the film got made was that the script was written and the script then won a prize and they needed funding so they went to crowd funding. so it's very hard to get a film made. when you think about things like hope dickson leach taking ten years to get the levelling made. yes, terrific. and this is how it works. my feeling about this film is it's tough. there's no question about it, it's a tough watch, it is a bleak story, although there's hope. there's also a real sense of companionship. you hear these women's voices and you get to know them and i think that comes across well. but i think more importantly, it's a feature that makes me want to see more from this writer—director because i think it's done, as i said, with
6:26 am
integrity and heart. it's a very, very small budget film. you'll have to seek it out. i mean, you know, mamma mia will be on every single screen, hotel artemis will be one of those. you will have to seek out the receptionist, but it is worth it. i would say again, it is a tough watch. it is a bleak film but it does have hope, and it does have heart. and, more importantly, it does have integrity. all good qualities. and best out — leave no trace... last time i'm going to say this, leave no trace is so far the best film i've seen this year. i absolutely love it. directed by debra granik, who made winter's bone, which was so great. it's the story of a father and daughter living off the grid in the forest outside portland. they get found by the authorities. and it does not put a foot wrong. there's just nothing that this film gets wrong. there's never a moment when the characters stand and explain themselves to each other. there's never a moment when characters have one of those conversations that you know was written by the scriptwriter to tell you what's going on.
6:27 am
it's all to do with the gestures and the emotion. again, you'll love it, trust me. i do trust you. forgive me, i'm a bad person — the only reason i haven't seen it is because the weather has been so utterly beautiful. i couldn't face going to sit in a cinema. that doesn't make you a bad person! i know that may be a controversial statement, but... the summer blockbuster was was built on air—conditioned cinemas. but i'm very excited to see it as soon as we get some rain, right? yes. and a dvd? filmworker. this is a dvd about leon vitali, who was a very, very promising actor. worked with stanley kubrick, realised that, to him, stanley kubrick was a genius, and decided to dedicate his whole life to working for stanley kubrick in every possible way. it's a really interesting film because it's about what does it mean if you decide that somebody else is a great artist and you are going to basically sacrifice everything that you have to facilitate their art? and i think he's a kind of an unsung hero. i thought it was a really interesting documentary. i'm not the world's biggest kubrick fan. i think kubrick was great at times. i could live without eyes wide shut. but i really do think this — it's a portrait of somebody who is in love with the movies and in love with the moviemaker and decides to dedicate themself to making that art happen,
6:28 am
and it's very inspiring. mmm, fascinating. did he ever see his children? that's what you wonder. it's an extraordinary story. it is, it really is. thank you very much. go and see mamma mia! that's the weekend sorted, isn't it? just a reminder before you go, you can find all the film news and reviews on the bbc online, bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and all our previous programmes are on the iplayer, of course. enjoy your weekend of cinema—going! i've still got angel eyes going round and round in my head! have a good week! hello, this is breakfast withjohn maguire and tina daheley. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the new brexit secretary has issued a fresh warning to the eu that britain could refuse to pay its £39 billion so—called divorce bill unless a trade deal is struck. in an interview with the sunday telegraph, dominic raab has also admitted that he is still persuading other members of the cabinet that theresa may's strategy for leaving the eu is the "best plan." our political correspondent chris mason has the details. on the face of it, dominic raab is flashing a bit of brexiteer leg in this interview in
6:29 am
the sunday telegraph, talking about how the government won't hand over this big wad of cash to the eu if there isn't a deal. in reality, that it is existing government policy. i thought what was interesting, though, is he say that the persuasionjob, as far as the government's brexit blueprint is concerned, is still ongoing inside the cabinet, as well as amongst conservative activists and the wider electorate. and that tells you something, i think. he's not the only one with a few comments in the sunday newspapers. take a look at the sunday express this morning and his predecessor david davis is saying that the government should start again as far as its outlook on brexit is concerned. and he also says that the world wouldn't fall in if there was no deal at all. and you can hearfrom dominic raab, the brexit secretary, as well as sirjohn major, when they speak to andrew marr later this morning. that follows us at 9 o'clock here on bbc one. mps are calling for a consultation
6:30 am
on whether the sale of real fur should be banned in the uk. the environment, food and rural affairs committee has been investigating why many high street retailers illegally sold fur described as fake which had, in fact, come from animals, including rabbits and chinchillas. furfarming was banned in britain in 2000, but imported products can still be sold here, as long as they are labelled accurately. japan is in the grip of an intense heatwave that has killed more than 30 people and caused thousands to be taken ill. temperatures reached a0.7 degrees celsius during a record—breaking week where thermometers haven't dipped below 38 degrees. the soaring temperatures are complicating recovery efforts following floods and landslides, which killed more than 200 people earlier this month. police in los angeles have arrested a suspect after he held a0 people hostage inside a supermarket for three hours. the gunman barricaded himself inside the store after crashing his car and exchanging fire with officers. a woman was shot dead inside the shop before he surrendered.
6:31 am
some newsjust coming in from israel — officials say they completed a humanitarian operation to rescue civil defence workers and their families from a war zone in southern syria. up to 800 syrians are reported to have been taken by bus overnight to jordan. the evacuees are members of the white helmets, a civil defence organisation that works in rebel—controlled areas of syria. jordan says it has agreed to give them safe passage to be resettled in britain, canada, and germany. now, if you're afraid of heights, you might want to look away as this isn't for the faint—hearted. suspended 115 feet in the air and with no security cable, this is tightrope artist tatiana—mosio bongonga scaling the skyline above paris. she spent the last year preparing for the stunt and afterwards described the walk as "magical". i'd describe it as terrifying. i
6:32 am
would too. really impressive. and what a fantastic name! i'm not sure ican what a fantastic name! i'm not sure i can pull it off again so let's leave it there, shall we? she did well, though. and tactically well. how are you with heights? ok, but i would not try that! to the bottom now and golf. jordan speith is tied with two others. so many great stories in the golf yet today, i was listening to them as they go around at carnoustie and it is interesting, particularly tiger woods looking like he actually has come in the form. we have not seen him do that well in seven years, it is very interesting. defending champion jordan spieth is one of three players tied at the top of the leaderboard heading into today's final round of the open championship. rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood are right behind on 5—under. they are four shots adrift as is a resurgent tiger woods. katherine downes reports
6:33 am
from carnoustie. he may have won his last major a decade ago. commentator: he's back! but tiger woods is back in the hunt. he looked back to his brilliant best yesterday and has picked up the scent of the claretjug. yesterday and has picked up the scent of the claret jug.|j yesterday and has picked up the scent of the claretjug. i have shown that i have been there, close enough, the chance to win this year. given what happened in the last few yea rs, given what happened in the last few years, you know, i didn't know if it ever happen again but hey i am with a chance to come on sunday with a major and it is fun. not such funds are more in a row, at five under he is not ruled himself out that there is not ruled himself out that there isa is not ruled himself out that there is a bit too much of this going on for him —— rory mcilroy. disappointed with the way i finished but i'm still in the tournament, i'm only a few shots behind, the wind is supposed to pick up a little bit so it will make things interesting. there are now three players tied for
6:34 am
the lead. defending championjordan speith drove the first agreeing to open with an eagle and soared to the top. xander schauffele, at the same agejordan top. xander schauffele, at the same age jordan speith 2a, top. xander schauffele, at the same agejordan speith 2a, showed similar strength to work his way up. while kevin kisner has led from the start and is still growing. all of them on nine under, all of them american. it is the first time in the history of the british open at three americans have shared the lead coming into the final round and there are 16 players within five shots of them. who lived the claret jug is within five shots of them. who lived the claretjug is anyone's gas. richard will lift. jordan speith is worth around $a0 million and he tried to get a haircut while in carnoustie and this is what he said happened. yet, i don't even know where i went. did they know who you are? i do think so, they didn't so much, i didn't say much, he didn't say much.
6:35 am
imean, he didn't say much, he didn't say much. i mean, he went a little high and tight. | i mean, he went a little high and tight. i was... i mean, he went a little high and tight. iwas... this i mean, he went a little high and tight. i was... this was not... it was a little bit — it was a little bit, it was intended to be what i normally get and instead, he went a little shorter. very british haircut. little shaved on the side, longer on top. it is what it is. some it works out. the reigning open champion walked into a barber and said it was a £20 workup —— haircut, probably worth around £9. not very happy about it. team sky's geraint thomas has retained the leader's yellowjersey ahead of team—mate chris froome after stage 1a of the tour de france. froome, the a—time winner, was subject to more attacks from the crowds, having a clear liquid thrown at him, while thomas was booed as he crossed the line. he and froome maintained their positions in first and second place overall, although they were nearly 20 minutes behind stage winner omar fraile. thomas leads froome by1 minute 39 seconds in the general classification with just seven stages remaining. lewis hamilton has his work cut out this afternoon if he's to win
6:36 am
the german grand prix. he'll start from 1ath place on the grid after trying to push his mercedes back to the pits after breaking down in the first qualifying session at hockenheim. the british driver is eight points behind championship leader sebastian vettel, who'll start from pole in his home race. england made a shaky start to the hockey world cup in london. they had to fight back from 1—0 down to rescue a draw against india. lily owsley with england's equaliser. england face the united states in their next match on wednesday. ireland got off to a good start, though. they beat the united states, who are ranked seventh in the world, 3—1 in their opener. that result puts them top of pool b for now — an excellent start for ireland, who are playing in their first world cup in 16 years. joe hart says he needs to be given a permanent deal if he is to move away from manchester city. hart has spent the last couple of seasons on loan after being told that he has no future at city by boss pep guardiola.
6:37 am
i need to go play somewhere, i think it is obvious, i did what i did and it is obvious, i did what i did and it was two seasons because they needed to play. i wanted to be involved in the world cup. so i am an experienced player, i have played at the highest level for a long time, i've done a lot of things in the game and i need to be a permanent player at a club. i need to be an important player at that club. in rugby league, catalans dragons have confrimed their place in the super 8s after beating salford red devils. they won by aa points to 10 in perpignan with fouad yaha scoring four tries. catalans' victory means current champions leeds can only reach the top 8 if wakefield slip up in their remaining two matches. to the anniversary games at the london stadium, and the first day of action started with a bit ofjustice from 10 years ago — the british women's axa00metre team from the beijing olympics in 2008 were given their bronze medals after the russian and belarusian teams were both retrospectively disqualified for doping at those games. a lovely moment for christine
6:38 am
ohuruogu, kelly sotherton, marilyn okoro and nicola sanders, albeit a decade later. to the action then, and britain's zharnel hughes had to settle for silver in the 100 metres. he beat the commonwealth games gold medallist akani simbine and former world champion yohan blake, but couldn't quite edge out american ronnie baker, who won in 9.90 seconds. british women's long jumping is in great shape at the moment and that was reflected by a one—two finish in london. shara proctor beat rival lorraine ugen byjust 3cm. proctor‘s winning jump was 6.91m. and finally, there was a bizarre incident at the anniversary games in the women's 3000m. keep an eye on ethiopian runner fantu worku. she was leading the race, but inexplicably stopped running with just 200m left! it allowed the rest of the field to pass her.
6:39 am
it's not clear whether she thought she was at the finish line, although it looked like it. what was going on?! i still don't know. i cannot come up with an explanation. have we heard from her? i presume she thought that was the finish line. after that, there was no point. listening to the commentary, they were saying what is she doing? why is she stopped? only 200 metres to go! all of that preparation and effort. a lot of preparation and effort. a lot of preparation also the golf, but continues today and five live will be your place. thank you. good stuff! now, if you're a virgin media customer hoping to catch up with some tv viewing on dave, gold or drama, you may be disappointed. the company's four million pay tv customers will, from today, not be able to watch 10 channels owned by uktv, which is in turn partly owned by the bbc. it's all over a dispute about rights. matt howett is a media analyst and can explain more.
6:40 am
good to see you. what is going on. it is like you say, this negotiation between uktv and virgin media to carry those channels that the customers of virgin have been used to getting which include popular ones like dave which a lot of customers that italy on twitter have been vocal about. what uktv are doing is putting up the price for access to some of the content of virgin is saying we cannot afford to pay y°u virgin is saying we cannot afford to pay you this additional money we will not be put the to pass that on to our customers who do not want to pay more money they have reached this loggerhead and the deadline passed at the night and virgin customers look set to lose the content from this morning essentially. it is very public spat, they are calling each other out on twitter, aren't they? the customers are being used as pawns little bit
6:41 am
in this and you only have to look at twitter to see the frustration that you have between the customers of virgin and uktv piling in on some of those tweets. but they are saying is you have to tell virgin that you wa nt you have to tell virgin that you want these channels to force virgin to pay the additional money but arguably that is a dangerous precedent if they start paying more money for this content because it is going to happen with other content providers as well and when it comes to renewing its next time they will expect the same thing. is feeling because there are so many channels out there that customers can go, they may have their favourite show, you know, top gear repeats on tape, taskmaster. but they will not be able to get it because they may not be up to access some kind of freeview so for a virgin media customer and you could be in a situation if you want those shows and they do not come up with a deal but generally as consumers we have a good choice now of content and you
6:42 am
can get it from amazon tv, btv, there is a huge amount of content but it also means taking a different subscriptions which, as a customer, you will feel it in your pocket. you would be annoyed if you are a customer and you have these channels and from today, they disappear. what does it mean the consumers and their subscriptions? what are their rights? virgin are saying it is a mean you can necessarily get out of your contract but they will look at these things on a case—by—case asis if there are people who are particularly aggrieved but i think they are trying to work out some sort of deal, as i understand that virgin said they will carry the free channels that uktv offer including dave and then we will come back to the table to fight about the price of the other ones but it looks like u ktv of the other ones but it looks like uktv is saying you have all of it or none of it and so they will lose the access. very quickly, do you think it sets a precedent? content rights isa it sets a precedent? content rights is a hugely important issue. the
6:43 am
whole thing is complicated even more because of the bbc one writes involvement because they are looking to create perhaps a rival to netflix with other broadcasters and that is probably playing into that quite a bit as well. maps, thank you. later on breakfast today, we will be asking virgin media and uktv bosses why they couldn't come to an agreement. microformat. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: an ultimatum for the eu from the new brexit secretary — make a trade deal or the divorce bill won't be paid. mps call for the government to consider a total ban on sales of real fur. lots of chat about the weather on the programme this morning, a little bit from japan, where it is very hot, and here we are talking about squirrels and sunburn. good morning
6:44 am
to you, helen. good morning to you. injapan and korea that heatwave now into its second week, temperatures in excess of 35 degrees the forecast over there. we are not quite as excessively hot at the moment. we are talking about 30 degrees, but it is warm and humid and we have this airflow coming in off the atlantic through the night. picking up the moisture, which increases the humidity, so it will feel oppressive in the coming days. these weather fronts are giving us a splash of rain. the odd spot through the midlands, such is the significance of the cloud. i feel that we will keep quite a bit of a cloud today. fair weather cloud, so it will be bright rather than sunny, but for most of us it will be dry, except the far north and west. the outside chance of a shower, probably a smaller one compared with yesterday. heat is rising, though, so our temperatures will be up a degree or
6:45 am
so quite widely across england and wales. some of the best sunshine could well be around the coast, but the sun is just as strong. more sunshine and a higher temperature for a time across northern ireland and eastern scotland. should be dry and eastern scotland. should be dry and fine in carnoustie but some beautiful sunshine around the murray firth. into the evening and overnight, a similar picture. if anything, those weather fronts are stagnating across the country. temperatures, as they go up by day they will go up by night, purely because we have more energy coming into our atmosphere from the sun then we lose at this time of year. as we head into monday, the start of the new week to a weather front with us the new week to a weather front with us in the north giving us a bit of showery activity perhaps in the northern england as well. but not a great deal of useful rain. for many of us, 31 in the south and east, low 20s further north, and that is because we have this slight influence off the atlantic. it is moist air, but slightly lower
6:46 am
temperatures behind. while further south we are drawing out a right up from africa through iberia. a hot airsource, as from africa through iberia. a hot air source, as well as the fact which ijust explained we have more energy trapped in the atmosphere that we —— can be used at this time of year. in the south temperatures will exceed 30 degrees most days next week, perhaps later in the week not so. further north, not so baking hot but fine and dry. those weather fronts close by and come the end of the week they could produce a few sharp showers. at the moment there is very little rain in the forecast, appreciable rain anyway. just nuisance value for most in the north and west today. we will be back with the headlines at 7:00am. now it's time for a trip tojordan and japan, with the travel show. coming up on this week's programme: rajan is injordan's capital, amman, getting a flavour of what the city has to offer. so good! forest bathing is to feel nature.
6:47 am
and i am off forest bathing here in japan. so go slow and take it all in? yeah, that's the point. it may have once enjoyed a heyday, particularly as a roman city, but in more recent times, safe to say amman has not been amongstjordan's most glittering jewels. by the 19a0s, its population had dwindled. but an influx of palestinians, then iraqis and syrians over the past few decades has seen it take new shape. and with that rapid rise in amman's population, a new, contemporary and cosmopolitan atmosphere is developing here which is very much at odds with the traditional, understated image of the city. and that cultural hotpot of diverse
6:48 am
people is expressed through cuisine. so today, we're making it with cauliflower and eggplants, because they're in season. maria haddad runs cookery classes which recognise the variety of arab influences in the food. this goes here, in the pot. she wastes no time in putting me to work on the farmers' dish called maklouba. arabic food in general is arabic food. there is no such thing as syrian, lebanese. i love that you're agreeing with me! yes! maklouba is an arabic dish. 0k. it's not a jordanian or a palestinian. everybody, can you just taste this? it's such a pretty colour. that's the beauty of amman, you know? you have people who are half—lebanese, half—syrian, half—jordanian, people who are half — and there's always halves, you know? i'm a combination of lebanese, jordanian and palestinian, maklouba literally translated means ‘flipped upside down'.
6:49 am
and remove it very slowly. perfect. all right! this looks fantastic, by the way, maria. it looks great. i cannot believe that we made this! well, you made this, really. yay! so good! maria herself has roots injordan, palestine and lebanon. she restored this family home and calls this cook—and—dine experience beit sitti — that means ‘grandmother‘s house'. when we were very young, we used to come here and we used to learn how to cook arabic food from my grandmother. but really, what we do here is a social business, so when my grandmother passed away, we decided we wanted to keep her house open and her memory going and to teach guests the dishes that she used to teach us. maria feels amman is going through a renaissance. the parents felt like amman wasn't
6:50 am
really worth investing in. but now, the younger generation is really putting their foot down and saying it's time to come to amman, you know? and stay — stay here. maria feels this cultural revolution is driven in part by successive waves of refugees. her house is in the jabal al—weibdeh district, where the community includes brea kdancers and graffiti artists, giving it a surprisingly street art—y vibe. and then, there's this. the 7hhills skatepark. wow! that is astonishing! that is a girl who had never even touched a skateboard before today, and there's more backgrounds here today experiencing that. brilliant. many of these kids are refugees, practising on borrowed skateboards, and the classes are run by an ngo called make life skate life. i think i mightjust give this a miss! it is all run by mo zakaria, jordan's first prominent
6:51 am
skateboarder. this is the future of your country now. i really think it is. i think amman has never been a place of a single nationality, let's say. you know, amman's become the new york of the middle east. amman has become the new york of the middle east! yeah, yeah. it's a nice time to be in amman. that idea of amman will certainly challenge a few preconceptions and so will my next and final stop, because 20km north—west of amman is fuheis, home tojordan's first and only microbrewery. right here, this is our packaging line and bottle storage. jordan — yep, that is his first name — the chief brewer here, told me how they started from scratch four years ago. injordan, there's, like, no infrastructure, there's no culture, there's absolutely nothing related to beer making. so everything in the factory had to come from outside of the country. but what's quintessential about the beer are the distinctive jordanian flavours from local produce, like date molasses, grapefruit from the jordan river valley, and even sea salt from the dead sea. putting this brewery together, selling the beer, making the beer, it's been an exercise in educating
6:52 am
the authorities as to what craft beer is. let's not forget that 85% ofjordan's population is muslim, and therefore, in principle, largely teetotal. 0h! a real tang to it, and you can taste the salt and you can taste the grapefruitjuice. really unique flavour. excellent. and do you know what? it's craft beers like this that are gonna help create new aspects to this city and also, i think, break the stereotypes that people might have of bothjordan and the middle east. you'rejoining me here at the shibuya crossing injapan, one of the most urban
6:53 am
societies in the world. and in recent years, tokyo's become known as the biggest city on the planet. but believe it or not, in amongst all this hustle and bustle, people here are finding ways to reconnect with nature. and for travellers, taking part in this could be a distinctly japanese way to experience culture and the countryside. to try and tap into my inner calm, i'm hitting the road and heading to okutama, a couple of hours' drive from the centre of tokyo, to indulge in a spot of forest bathing, or what the japanese call shinrinyoku. it's basically about drawing on the therapeutic benefits of being in nature. leaving on tour, i follow my guide, masuzawa—san. who knew so much nature could be found, you know, in tokyo? i know, right? this is okutama! tokyo! this is still part of tokyo? yes. you would never guess. forest bathing tours like this are becoming hugely popular
6:54 am
with stressed—out japanese office workers. the forest therapy society has certified 62 forest therapy sites across japan. it's beautiful. yeah, beautiful. masuzawa—san's tour includes meditation and deep breathing exercises. so, ok, let's practice breathing methods. inhale from nose and exhale mouth. calming music plays. so, this isjust like hiking, isn't it? no! it's not hiking. it's completely different. so, uh, forest bathing is to feel nature. if you walk first, you can't feel anything from nature. so, observing everything in the forests, plants and listening to the sounds of the brook and birds and the smelling. so go slow and take it all in?
6:55 am
yeah. the forest bathing movement is gathering momentum around the world as a hot new wellness trend. clinical studies show it can reduce blood pressure, stress levels, as well as diabetes. shinrinyoku is effective in preventive medicine. it's very effective for anti—ageing. anti—ageing? sure. oh, really? so, what do you think? how old am i? how old are you? oh, dear. um... this is tricky — i don't want to offend. a0, a5? no. no, i'm 62. what?! you're 62? yes. wow! ok, so i should go home, throw away all my creams, and just come back here. yeah.
6:56 am
at the top of the mountains, some of the forest bathing tours include yoga, or you can take a more relaxed approach. i must admit, i was a bit reluctant to lie down in first place, but now that i have, i don't think i want to get up. it has been so relaxing here. i'm really not quite ready to go back to the city just yet. but that's all we've got time for this week. coming up next week... check this out! every little boy's dream! whistle blows. we sent rajan into the desert on the trail of lawrence of arabia, 100 years on from the arab revolt. this is a bit worrying. it's like they're ready for some sort of attack. whoa! i'm in the middle of a battle! whoa! oh, what the hell?! hands up!
6:57 am
you're not gonna take me, are you? are we going for a cup of tea? well, i hope you canjoin us for that if you can. and don't forget, we're on social media too, so why don't you follow us there, and you then can share your travel stories with the rest of the world? but until next time, from me, carmen roberts, and the rest of the travel show team here in okutama, it's goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjohn maguire and tina daheley. our headlines today: no deal, no divorce payment — the new brexit secretary, dominic raab, sends a message to the eu. israel says it's rescued hundreds of syrian civil defence workers, known as the white helmets, and their families from a war zone in southern syria. time to get tough on fur — calls for a total ban after shops are found selling real fur labelled as fake. a beaming birthday smile. a new photo of prince george is released as the third in line to the throne turns five. we are not showing it to you but we
6:58 am
will a bit later. in sport, carnoustie is set for a fascinating final day of the open championship. tiger woods is getting back to his best whilst reigning champion jordan spieth is tied for the lead.
