temperatures are on the up and they still look set to exceed 30 degrees for most of next week in the south. more details for you in quarter of an hour. it's sunday 22nd july. our top story: 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. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake joins us. hello. what do you make of dominic raab‘s comments? how significant are they? dominic raab is not long in they? dominic raab is not long in thejob as brexit they? dominic raab is not long in the job as brexit secretary at what he is doing in this interview is just gently reminding everyone of his brexiteer credentials, someone who campaigned during the referendum

to leave the european union, and talking tough. it has been government policy for some time to withhold that money that the uk has agreed it owes the eu in the event that it doesn't get betrayed steel that it doesn't get betrayed steel that it doesn't get betrayed steel that it wants. what —— the trade deal that it wants. what is even more interesting about the comments is that there is still debating cabinet about the prime minister's plan. the details drawn up at chequers and put forward in the white paper. dominic raab says there is still persuasion to be done for some of his cabinet colleagues to be convinced that this is the way forward. it is a live debate and we know that some people disagree on the prime minister's plan. this is how one former remain supporting tory mp, neil parish, sees it. we are facing up to each other and thing as far as i'm concerned nothing is off the agenda. i want a deal. i think ratting out without a deal. i think ratting out without a deal would not be good. probably all of these issues have got to be put

oi'i of these issues have got to be put on the table. the eu is talking about it as well. ironically, now we are all talking about are no deal, we might actually get a deal. one man we know who doesn't like the prime minister's plan is the former brexit secretary, david davis, who resigned over it. he has given an interview to the sunday express this morning talking about the possibility of a no deal, saying it wouldn't be the end of the world if the uk came out without one. jonathan blake, thank you. 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 nine o'clock here on bbc one. some news coming in from israel this morning. 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 tojordan. 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.

mps are calling for a consultation on whether to ban the sale of realfur 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 anti—fur campaigns raised awareness of the issue. decades on, some shoppers have been unwittingly buying real fur labelled as fake. it emerged that several major retailers had sold products described as artificial but tests showed were made from fox, rabbit and chinchilla. now an inquiry by the environment, food and rural affairs committee accuses retailers of being complacent about the problem. disgusting. absolutely disgusting. i would be devastated if i went and bought, you know, an item that i thought was faux fur and actually, it turned out that it, you know, some poor animal

or animals have been slaughtered. i'd be devastated. the reason why people buy fake fur is so that they're not wearing real fur, so it's pretty shocking that they can get away with that, really. i'd be disgusted to find out that something was an animal product that i hadn't knowingly bought into. so i don't think it's acceptable in any way, shape or form. furfarming 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 do ban the trade of fur from domestic cats, dogs or commercial seal hunts. during this enquiry, evidence was taken from retailers here in camden to learn how realfur was mis—sold as fake, and what changes have been put in place to make sure it does not happen again. and the report calls 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 be outlawed. sarah corker, bbc news.

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 lifejackets but if she had managed to reach one she might have saved her three children. 14 other passengers were killed in the disaster. the captain did say something about life jackets. he said above you are your life jackets. there are three sizes. he said i'm going to show you where they are but you won't need them, so no need to worry. though we didn't grab them. if i was able to get a life jacket, i could have saved my babies. 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.

earlier we spoke to our tokyo correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes. they are telling people to stay indoors and to stay hydrated, after a number of incidents here which we re a number of incidents here which were preventable and have led to some rather appalling stories. 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 centraljapan where other students were outside in the midday sun for two hours. if six—year—old child died there. they are now saying this needs to be taken very seriously. the heat, now 68 degrees in tokyo today, it's going to continue for another seven to ten days. it is pretty warm here but is this unusual forjapan? to ten days. it is pretty warm here but is this unusual forjapan7m to ten days. it is pretty warm here but is this unusual forjapan? it is not unusual to get to these sorts of temperatures at this time of year. what is unusual, rather the same as

in the uk, it is the duration of the heatwave. it started two weeks ago and it will go on for another week. it isa and it will go on for another week. it is a high pressure dome, very similarto it is a high pressure dome, very similar to what you have had in the uk, sitting over the top ofjapan and the korean peninsular and not moving for a very long time. unlike in the uk where i think you are getting up to 31, we are getting 36 to 40 getting up to 31, we are getting 36 to a0 degrees here, and the human body temperature of 37 degrees, just 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 everybody to be drinking and staying in the shade. 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. it is eight minutes past eight. 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. 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 three 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. 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 a million pay—tv customers will from today not be able to watch ten channels owned by uktv, which is in turn

partly owned by the bbc. it's all over a row about rights. we'rejoined by steve north from uktv and david bouchier from virgin media. good morning to both of you, gentlemen. you agreed a dress code this morning! why can't you agree on this? first of all can i take the opportunity to apologise to our customers for the disruption caused by uk to be's decision to withdraw its channels from virgin? we are very disappointed and they think it is the opportunity for uktv and its pa rent is the opportunity for uktv and its parent company the bbc also to apologise. absolutely. our viewers are incredibly important to us. not only do we want to apologise for what is going on but to say thank you to our viewers. their support online on social media has been out overwhelming and we are passionate about delivering great programmes and channels to our viewers that we wa nt and channels to our viewers that we want to continue to do that. we want

to continue taking your channels. up until week ago uktv offered as to continue carriage of the free view channels, the channels available for free over the air to everybody. we we re free over the air to everybody. we were told at the 11th hour that was withdrawn. so i'm asking very publicly, steve, will you hear and now have those channels back on air as they are available to everyone else for free in the uk? what we have got to remember is that virgin media is a paid television company, not free to add, and therefore it was the cheapest bundle that it customer can buy, which is £30 a month. we are putting our channelled into the hands of uktv which are then sold to customers. customers pay them for those channels, and none of that money returns back to uktv, and most importantly to the programmes we make. this is really about the programmes on the quality of the content that we can deliver

to our viewers. we want to maintain that and that is what we are passionately here to do. without that investment from our partners, we can't do that. it is important to draw a distinction between free channels and paid channels. what he is describing the investment they make in their programme which is funded predominantly by advertising. of funded predominantly by advertising. of their original programming is on the free channels and most of that is on dave. taskmaster, red dwarf, others. we are passionately committed to continuing to have the opportunity that investment to be made and that is by making channels available to our customers. if i watch dave on satellite, i don't pgy- watch dave on satellite, i don't pay. if i wanted dave through the youview box or online, i don't pay. they are discriminating against virgin customers and forcing them to play. that is not quite true. we actually have got to make sure that we work with a portfolio of channels and we work with lots of platform partners across the uk. bt. sky.

talktalk. free view. freesat. the joint investment allows us to invest in programmes for reviewers. that is the investment we can put into programmes. let mejust the investment we can put into programmes. let me just stop you there, as much as we are enjoying there, as much as we are enjoying the to and fro, i should probably just use a mediation and try and earn my wages this morning! is this brinksmanship? have we seen this type of thing before? there is clearly some animosity, and you are clearly some animosity, and you are clearly coming from different positions. can you strike a deal? are you so far apart that the customers are suffering? we want to reach a deal. we think it is brickman shipped by uktv. we think they are using social messages like save dave when in fact they can save it by making their freeview channels

free to everyone else, just like us. what is best for the viewer is to ensure that we can guarantee the quality content, the quality channels that we deliver, and a significant cut in the fees that we are asking for from virgin. customers can still watch dave on freesa and freesat. —— freeview. customers can still watch dave on freesa and freesat. —— freeview! how far freesa and freesat. —— freeview! howfarapartare freesa and freesat. —— freeview! how far apart are you? that is very much for uktv. we are not far apart on the free channels because they are free and they should be free for our customers as well as everybody else. you shouldn't be able to draw a line between us on that. for the paid channels there is an important point here and it is a separate discussion which we are happy to have. if you look at gold, drama, w,

the paid channel, of their top programmes last year, on the page for channel, w, 12 of them appeared on the free channel, drama. how do i explain to my customers when i am using their money to pay for quality programming that the same programmes that were free to add on their free channels? that is a separate discussion and we should get the free channels. please make it possible, steve. is this an inevitable consequence, if you like, of the shifting media landscape? different people watching things on different platforms. whether it is netflix, whether it is amazon, whatever? i don't think so. you are absolutely right that the media landscape in the uk is changing, evolving and actually growing. there are more people spending time watching their television sets than ever before. 90% of that time is still spent watching traditional linear tv broadcasts. that part of

the media in the uk is incredibly strong still. people love to come home and watch dave, gold, alibi every evening. it is evolving but most importantly television is growing. it is a burgeoning industry. our channels and our shows are an important part of that and we want our viewers to be able to see that. i would appreciate a one word answer on this? have you made any progress meeting together this morning? we have agreed on the colour of our shirts! that sounds like maybe. thank you to you both. listening to that is media analyst, matt hwett. ijust want i just want to read some ijust want to read some messages coming in on twitter. getting a big reaction to that interview. will you quys reaction to that interview. will you guys put your petty squabbling aside and realise that customer service is being eroded which might lead to them switching? rosanna says it is like separated parents and parents evening. what did you make of it?

like separated parents and parents evening. what did you make of mm is as good as some of the drama on their platforms! i think it is clear that they both need each other. uk tv needs somebody to distribute their content. virgin customers will clearly missed the content from uktv. as they both agreed, it comes down to price. notjust the free element, channel like dave that lots of people are looking for, the on demand stuff where there is a back catalogue that is owned by the bbc. that seems to be the sticking point that they haven't got an agreement on yet. to my mind, it seems to be that each of them is saying the other is unreasonable. uktv says virgin is unreasonable for not paying more and virgin says uktv is unreasonable for charging too much. it does seem that way. the problem of course is that there is a lot of money that needs to go into making the best drama. the crown netflix cost hundreds of millions of pounds on somebody needs to put the money into that. the challenge for virgin

is if they pay more money to uktv, will they get that back from their customers? consumers don't want to spend more money than we already do. many of us take netflix, now tv, amazon and also paid television subscription as well. somewhere we need to to save money. thank you. now it is time for the weather and one thing we can agree on, it is hot. it is definitely hot and it will get hotter next week. hello, helen. hello. ithought will get hotter next week. hello, helen. hello. i thought we would look at this index because you have commented on it a couple of times this morning. the sun index is not temperature dependent. if we have clear skies and the temperature is 20 around the coast and 30 inland, the sunshine is just as strong. this isa the sunshine is just as strong. this is a snapshot for next week. the potential is there for it to be high further north when the cloud breaks, and very high in the south, which you don't often get in the uk. but it does happen in the peak summer.

the sun is highest in the sky on the zist the sun is highest in the sky on the 21st of the sun is highest in the sky on the 2ist ofjune. look at that beautiful shot of brunswick bay. north yorkshire, a beautiful start to the day. some cloud in tenby, in pembrokeshire, and more cloud in the north and the west because of a couple of week weather fronts with us. couple of week weather fronts with us. what they are introducing is more humidity, more moisture and cloud, but not spoiling what will be a fine day across—the—board. sunshine coming through north east england, brunswick bay, eastern scotla nd england, brunswick bay, eastern scotland and southern areas. there is largely fair weather cloud but a little bit of drizzle around this morning in central areas, more so in the north and west and quite murky with low cloud so not necessarily a day to take to the highlands. further south, with these temperatures, we could break out the odd shower but they will be few and far between. temperatures higher than yesterday. the heat continues to build. looking at the high 20s.

the mid 20s for most of us and in the south and east of the highest temperatures. the golf at carnoustie should be fine and dry. then this weather front gives us drizzle further west but a nuisance value more than anything else. it peps up overnight and it sinks further south across scotland and northern ireland. some heavy bursts of rain as we go into monday morning's rush hour and some mist and fog and low cloud around. i really warm start to monday morning and another very warm day to come. hot, in fact. especially where the warm air is pooling across southern and eastern areas. further north, rain for a time that peters out later. up to 23 in scotland, northern ireland and england, but further south, in scotland, northern ireland and england, but furthersouth, perhaps 31 england, but furthersouth, perhaps 3! tomorrow. why? it is where the heat is coming from really. high pressure keeping things fine and dry, and this weather front introduces more cloud and showers further north. the heat is being

drawn up from africa and iberia, coming into the uk this week. not massively high temperatures, not the high 30s, but regularly above 30 degrees in the south and the east. that is warm enough and it means a humid nights to come as well. thank you. lots of lovely warm weather, if you like that kind of thing. and don't forget the uv. it is 8:21am. let's take a look at today's newspapers. the journalist angela epstein is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we'll speak to angela in a minute. first let's look at the front pages. the mail on sunday has a story about the ministry of defence spending £10.5 million on military jets the paper says it doesn't need. the observer reports mps' growing anger over the refusal of the former vote leave director dominic cummings to answer claims that

the organisation that helped to deliver brexit broke electoral law. the sunday express also has brexit on the front cover. david davis has told them that the pm should tear up her white paper and start again. the sunday telegraph has that warning from dominic raab that unless the eu offers the uk a trade deal, britain won't pay the so—called divorce bill. the sunday times leads with brexit as well. the paper says the public is opposed to the prime minister's brexit plan and quotes a yougov poll that says voters are prepared to turn to ukip or far right parties to defeat it. those at the front pages. let's have a look at some of your pictures inside the papers. —— your picks. i am very excited about mamma mia coming out again. they have tampered

with some of the lyrics in the abba songs to make them more politically accessed above. i have got to refer to my notes here. from when i kissed the teacher, which was all about a girl's infatuation with her teacher, the gender has been changed from a man toa the gender has been changed from a man to a woman. and they have messed the lyrics around. and better—known hit, the name of the game. bashful child has been changed to curious child, so it is not encouraging loneliness and introspection among the young. to me personally, bonkers political correctness gone way overboard. serious issues to discuss amongst loneliness among children, gender confusion, inappropriate relationships with teachers, but this is an abba movie. and if we are going to be highbrow forum moment, the serious issue of whether you tamper with historical documentation will stop this is what abbott road. it is fine if they are doing it to

move the narrative along. —— this is what abba have written. it is fine if they are doing it to change the narrative and move it along, but this is setting a dangerous precedent. it is not an international language thing? this is the family silver, abba. we should leave it. not a fan of change? not with this kind of thing. the songs were written as they were andi the songs were written as they were and i think we should leave them. moving on, what else have you got for us? in a similar vein, this is such a deliciously british victoria wood style think that you couldn't make up. they have designated the final resting place for the poet william blake, the writer of jerusalem. he lay in an unmarked grave for many years, and they have selected a quote from one of his writings, from his 100 page

prophetic books which they want to put on the grave, but blake was a maverick when it came to punctuation. in his books he has written this without punctuation and in another place he has punctuated it. there has been an almighty spat about where to put the, as —— where to put the commas but that chisel is not going near the headstone until we know where the colon should sit! that caught my eye. very interesting. and we have got a reva m p of interesting. and we have got a revamp of the x factor coming up. as soon as it start to think it must be nearly christmas because that is when it finishes. the bbc kill it on saturday nights with strictly. simon cowell for a couple of years has been racking his brains about how to make the x factor more relevant, i

hate that word. but more watchable. audiences are in decline. there is just too much stuff. the netflix generation is taking a march. he has introduced a new panel including husband and wife team robbie williams and ada. robbie williams is very funny because somebody asked him why he was doing it now and he said millions and millions of reasons. i think he is getting £12 million for being on the panel. i think the brand has becomejaded, but thank goodness they got rid of the sob stories and they are just making it more competitive. they're chucking all this money at it. robbie and his wife, which will be an interesting dynamic in itself, andi an interesting dynamic in itself, and i hope they pull something out of the hat, because we are so overburdened with desperate fame stories, love ireland culture, and so we really need something brilliant. —— love island. and there

is also the graduate from one direction, louis tomlinson, who was a lwa ys direction, louis tomlinson, who was always my favourite. ijust had a thing for him. if i was five years younger, who knows what would have happened? let's go with five! he is also a graduate of the x factor, the most successful exa m ple of also a graduate of the x factor, the most successful example of why reality television does work, so to come home to money, it will be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out. —— to come home to mama. thank you. coming up in the next half hour: it's curtain up on an exhibition of paintings by the late actor sirjohn hurt. we have a sneak preview. stay with us. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with

john maguire and tina daheley. here's a summary of this morning's main 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". earlier, the conservative mp neil parish told breakfast that it was only through talking about what would happen without a deal we would get one. i think, finally, we are facing up to each other and so, as far as i'm concerned, nothing is off the agenda. i want a deal. i think crashing out without a deal would not be good. but i think probably, you know, all of these issues have to be put on the table. the eu is talking about it as well now. ironically, i think now that we're all talking about a no deal,

we might well actually get a deal. mps are calling for a consultation 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. virgin media customers have lost access to ten tv channels showing popular shows including

‘taskmaster‘, ‘red dwa rf' and ‘0ne born every minute'. it's all down to a row between the company and uktv over fees. uktv says virgin wanted to cut the amount it paid for the channels; but virgin says uktv is unable to provide programming on demand, because of restrictions imposed by its joint owner, the bbc. we wa nt we want to reach a deal, we do think it is brinkmanship by uk tv and we do think they are using social m essa g es do think they are using social messages like save dave when in fact they can save dave by making their free view channels available to us like they do everyone else? is that right? our communication is always open, we want to do what is best for the viewer, and... that is the opportunity we are giving them. we wa nt opportunity we are giving them. we want to guarantee the quality content and quality channels that we deliver, and a significant cut in

fees from virgin would prevent us from doing that. 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. some news coming in from israel this morning. 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 tojordan. 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. those are the main stories this morning. 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. 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 three 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. that is definitely my favourite! i remember that feeling... that is definitely my favourite! i remember that feeling. .. not as smiley, very cute! do you? moving swiftly on to the sport. do you recognise that man behind you

there? jordan spieth, the reigning open champion, he has been wandering around carnoustie but nobody knows who he is, that is quite interesting. more in a moment. jordan spieth is trying to become the first golfer since padraig harrington in 2008 to win back to back open titles, and he's on track to do it. he's one of three players tied at the top of the leaderboard. the first players are out on the course starting theirfinal rounds. spieth tees off at 2.a5. rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood are in the chasing pack, as is a resurgent tiger woods. katherine downes reports 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 he's picked up the scent of the claretjug. i've shown that i've been — i've been there, close enough, for the chance to win this year. um, given what happened the last few years, you know, i didn't know if that would ever happen again, but here i am, you know, with a chance come on sunday and a major championship, and it's going to be fun. not such fun for rory mcilroy.

at 5—under, he's not ruled himself out, but there was a bit too much of this going on for him. obviously disappointed after the way i finished, um, but, you know, i'm still in the tournament, i'm only a few shots behind, the wind is supposed to pick up a little bit, so, you know, it'll make things interesting. there are now three players tied for the lead. defending champion jordan spieth drove the first green to open with an eagle and soared to the top. xander schauffele, at the same age as spieth at 2a, showed similar strength to work his way up, while kevin kisner has led from the start and he's still going. all of them on 9—under, all of them american. it's the first time in the history of the open that three americans have shared the lead going into the final round, but there are 16 players within five shots of them. who lifts the claretjug is anyone's guess. katherine downes, bbc news at carnoustie. you might wonder why the americans

are doing so well at this year's open championship. it might be because they get on so well. this is leaderjordan spieth at the so—called golf ‘frat house' he's staying at in carnoustie with rickie fowler, zachjohnson and a couple of others. they've brought their own chef over, they've shipped over steaks. and to make himself feel even more at home, spieth even nipped out to the barbers. yeah, i don't even know where i went. reporter: did they know who you are? i don't think so. i didn't say much, they didn't say much — he didn't say much. reporter: he didn't say "what are you doing in town?" i mean, i had — he went a little high and tight. um... laughter. i was — this was not — it was — it was a little bit — it was a little bit, um, it was intended to be what i normally get and instead, he went a little —

he went a little shorter. um, very british haircut — a little shaved on the side, a little longer on top. but it is what it is. it's summertime. it works out. i don't think it looks that bad! 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 four 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 frylee. thomas leads froome by one 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 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. the hockey world cup started in london yesterday and england made

a shaky start to their campaign. 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, in theirfirst world cup for 16 years. in rugby league, catalans dragons have confrimed their place in the super 8s after beating salford red devils. they won by aa points to ten in perpignan with fouad yaha scoring four tries. catalans victory means current champions leeds can only reach the top eight 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 ten years ago. the british women's four by a00metre team from the beijing olympics in 2008 were given their bronze medals, after the russian and belarussian teams were both retrospectively disqaualified

for doping at those games. a lovely moment for christine 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 the commonwealth games gold medallist akani simbine and former world champion yohan blake, but couldn't quite edge out america's ronnie baker. some news coming in from israel this morning. officials say they completed a humanitarian operation to rescue civil defence workers and their families from a war zone in southern syria. paul ronzheimer is from the german newspaper which broke the story and has been embedded with the group. thank you forjoining us. can you tell us where you are and what happened? right now, i am back in

tel aviv but before that, the last two or three days, the whole night, i've been on the israeli border and i was able to witness what was actually happening, it has never happened in the last year due to syrian, that refugees were able to cross over the syrian border and then to go tojordan. it is exceptional because the people who crossed were white helmets, half of them were able to get to israel and then to jordan, and them were able to get to israel and then tojordan, and now they will over the next two or three months the refugees in the uk, germany, canada and the netherlands. can you give us a sense of how they are feeling? did they expect to be rescued? where are they now? right

now, the members, the refugees, they are in jordan. now, the members, the refugees, they are injordan. when they were rescued, they were brought in convoy right away to jordan because for israel, it is actually very difficult situation at the border. they feel in terrible conditions. there were a lot of injured people who were rescued and at the same time, they feel devastated. they have spent the last seven years, most of them, helping to rescue people in the opposition area. the biggest majority never wanted to leave their country but the situation there at the border was getting so dangerous for them. the russians were able to actually have them ina

russians were able to actually have them in a whole area because of the attacks, that they are western spies, it is a big threat, they would have been killed by assad troops. you have been embedded with the white helmets, did you know this rescue was being planned? no, i have to correct you, i was not embedded with the white helmets, i was actually observing that from the border. i had, and my colleagues, we had information that this was planned. there was a planning in the last two weeks, it was never clear that that was what was really happening. i risked to travel there. i was at the israeli border for three days. yesterday night, at about 9:30pm, the whole operation started. and what we understand will happen next is that they will end up in other countries. can you tell us a bit more about that, why would

they go? it isn't exactly clear. it is unconfirmed. it is not official. we know for sure that some of them will go in the next month to germany, the uk and the netherlands that i cannot tell you the exact number. in total there are 800 white helmets, the rescuers and their families, and jordan only agreed to this deal because western countries promised to take them. paul, thank you very much forjoining us this morning on breakfast. 50 years ago around 100 people gathered to watch the sister of the us presidentjohn f kennedy launch a sporting event designed to celebrate people with intellectual disabilities. today the special olympics, as it's become known, attracts almost five million athletes from 170 countries. stuart pollitt joined the celebrations in chicago. cheering and applause. celebrating half a century

of shining a sporting spotlight on people who had been in society's shadow. this event, at chicago's soldier field, marks 50 years since the stadium hosted the first special olympics. i was watching you run across the floor, and then you got a gold medal. amelia competed that day as an 11—year—old. it inspired a lifelong love of sport. when i did the running 50 metre dash, and i did all the events i did and — and then i kept going, i didn't stop, and i got medals from running and i got medals from bowling and bocce and hockey. if i walked down the street with her, other kids would look and go, you know "what is wrong with her?" you know, or they would get out of the way or — and grown—up people as well — they would just stare. but, you know, now, society has changed. that does not happen any more. the special olympics was the idea

of eunice kennedy shriver, jfk's sister. in ancient rome, gladiators went into the arena with these words on their lips — "let me win but if i cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." eunice kennedy shriver stood here 50 years ago and declared in front ofjust100 or so people that one day, 1 million athletes would take part in the special olympics. several scoffed but last year, five billion people in 170 countries were a part of this movement. she took people with intellectual disabilities and brought them out of institutions and gave them and their families hope. she changed lives in that moment and it's been changing lives ever since. what was good about it is that i won medals. i got more than 100. when i cheer lead, i feel like a family and i feel like this is where i belong. it helped me a lot to be a happy guy throughout the years,

especially ever since i competed in them. former chelsea star didier drogba has been a long—term supporter of special olympics projects in the ivory coast. i think this is the story of my life. more than scoring goals. i don't really talk about this but i think that's — that's my mission in my life. for those gathered here, today was a chance to cheer the success of this movement but also to acknowledge that there are still major goals to achieve for true equality. stuart pollitt, bbc news, chicago. you're 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. this is where we say goodbye

tojohn who will be presenting the headlines on ‘the andrew marr show‘ this morning. sad for me. it is very sad! not for very long. exactly, i'll miss you. i'll miss you too. thank you for looking after me this morning. yeah, stay with us for the weather. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to both of you. a lovely start of the day here in north yorkshire. isn't it beautiful? quite a lot of cloud elsewhere. in tenby, we saw this earlier on. we have wea k tenby, we saw this earlier on. we have weak weather fronts but it will not stop the heat building. temperatures starting the day in the high teens, leaping into the 20s. we do have some clout but also some good spells of sunshine, breaks in the cloud kidneys for the gulf, north—east england and the south, generally the cloud is sinking southwards through the day but a lot

of it is then, fairweather. notable drizzle, in the north—west, not a great day to head to the hills. in the south, the heat is on. despite probably the south, the heat is on. despite pro ba bly less the south, the heat is on. despite probably less sunshine, 28 is 82 fahrenheit. that might trigger the odd sharp shower. they are very isolated. for the most part it is dry and fine, usable outdoor weather but obviously some strong sunshine, even around the coast, it is 20 degrees but we may well see 25 or 26. in northern ireland, the mid 20s as well. overnight, ourweather front pops up a little bit. this is where we have the slight chance of some rain as we go through the week ahead. we do have some heavy bursts overnight. with cloud around, mist and fog. as we have seen this morning, it will be a close night for sleeping. the uncomfortable fact will increase. as temperatures

dipped. we will not be in the mid—20s tomorrow in scotland and northern ireland, we do have some heavy rain to content with but in the bulk of england and wales, the mid—to high 20s, we could see 30—31 and that's what we see through the week. high pressure and some heat coming up from africa, iberia, building northwards. in the south and east, closer to that area of high pressure, closer to the heat source, we could see possibly above 30 next week but there is always the risk with weather fronts towards the north—west, that atlantic influence and that we will see shovels around. we will not see high temperatures but we do see when the sun comes out, as today, high levels of uv, very high in the south. that is what we occasionally see and it not temperature depending. you can see the risk of some showers in scotland and northern ireland. more cloud, temperatures in the low 20s but in

england and wales, that heat will rise. it becomes a concern notjust by day but by night too. yes, it is getting hotter as we go through the week ahead. a lot of schools have broken up, some not until next week but coinciding with decent weather, it is worth bearing in mind it will be oppressive for some of us, especially if you are sleeping at night. studio: thank you. we do have a co nsulta nt studio: thank you. we do have a consultant dermatologist coming in who will tell us how you can stay safe when it comes to your skin and high temperatures. martin pistorius was just 16 when one morning his mind woke up but he couldn't move his body. for almost a decade he could see and hear everything but no—one knew he was conscious. that all changed when a carer realised he was awake and alert. he's now a best—selling author, long—distance wheelchair racer and is about to become a father. david sillito takes up his incredible story. this is martin pistorius. he was born in 1975 and grew up in south africa. as a child, growing up i was

perhaps a little quieter than most but happy. healthy and always busy with something. then, aged 12, he fell ill. i came home from school with what seemed to be like a cold. within months, i was an empty shell of the vibrant little boy i once was. the next four years were a blank but then, aged 16, his mind woke up. but not his body. no one knew he was awake. being unable to communicate was the worst, most terrifying feeling ever. i was utterly powerless. i kept my mind busy by escaping into my imagination, living in my mind was the only i was able to cope and distract myself from my daily reality. i often wished i could tell people i was in pain or reassure my mum that she was a good mother and to simply tell people that i loved

them. nine years later, a carer began to realise martin was conscious. my family were overjoyed when after the assessment it became clear that i was still in there and had the potential to communicate. he was given a computer to communicate and began to regain the use of his upper body. i found readjusting to life really difficult. it was absolutely wonderful, but also scary and very daunting. there was so much ididn't and very daunting. there was so much i didn't know. and here he is today. he isa i didn't know. and here he is today. he is a wheelchair racer. he has written his autobiography, he has a degree and, in 2009, married joanna. and then... in april we found out we we re and then... in april we found out we were having a baby. we were both very surprised. perhaps a little shocked and very excited. i think the most difficult thing about fatherhood for me will be finding effective ways to communicate with

the baby. i have experienced extreme loneliness, but it taught me to be co mforta ble loneliness, but it taught me to be comfortable with my own company. i think it is easy to take communicating for granted. everyone says actions are more powerful than words, but i wonder, communication is one of our most powerful tools. is it not our words that lead to action? david sillito, bbc news. a remarkable story. so it seems the heatwave isn't going to end any time soon — but if you are planning to make the most of the sun the message from health professionals is make sure you protect your skin. joining us now in the studio is dermatologist dr walayat hussain. we've seen the uv warning next week is very high, that does not often happen in the uk? no, everybody has been caught out by the prolonged period of hot weather. we are seeing more people walking around with a red glow, we are trying our best to

avoid that. what can people do to protect themselves? how much of difference does it make? should we be more worried next week, where temperatures creep into the low 305? the uv isn't always related to temperature, it depends your skin type as to how you react but we should be using high factor 5un block, avoiding extreme temperatures and do not let your skin get burnt or read in any way, shape orform. skin get burnt or read in any way, shape or form. it skin get burnt or read in any way, shape orform. it is important, people have been caught out in this country because they are not used to a prolonged period of weather like this. if you are not out and about sunbathing, a5 this. if you are not out and about sunbathing, as it were, should you use high factor some protection, how high and how often should you reapply? generally you should apply sun in tempters like this if you are out and about. we recognise spf 30 asa minimum out and about. we recognise spf 30 a5 a minimum and a uva 5tar out and about. we recognise spf 30 a5 a minimum and a uva star rating of three stars. about 30 minutes before you leave the house and if you are playing outside or working

man'. but sirjohn hurt was also a hugely talented artist. now, more than a year after his death, his paintings are being shown to the public for the first time. our reporter ian barmer was given a sneak preview of the exhibition. no one exceptjohn hurt‘s family and friends has seen this many of his artworks together in one place. he was a man who drew, constantly. and painted whenever he could around his many acting commitments. this is clearly a self—portrait. i think this was probably about 2010, or 2011, whenjohn this was probably about 2010, or 2011, when john did this was probably about 2010, or 2011, whenjohn did this but i a lwa y5 2011, whenjohn did this but i always loved it. i used to, at night, i would always loved it. i used to, at night, iwould be always loved it. i used to, at night, i would be taking always loved it. i used to, at night, iwould be taking pilchard the dog for a walk down the track and john would still be in the barn and john would still be in the barn and this would be standing on an easel with the light on it. it folds me every time, i would think it was him. john hurt went to art school before he became an actor and even then he could never let it go. the exhibition has oil paintings, lynagh cuts and drawings and a small selection of this many sketches. he

was always bring on napkins, scripts, i've got loads of them with little sketches on them. all sorts of things, you know? bus tickets, envelopes, the whole thing. it was something he had to do. it was part of his dna. i'm very pleased to meet you, mr merrick. one of his best—known film roles was the elephant man, and he drew his character, john merrick. the exhibition in the old theatre at gresham school was one of the highlights of the whole festival. others include unpublished love letters written by george orwell and a stanley spencer portrayed, which has never been seen before.|j a stanley spencer portrayed, which has never been seen before. i think it is significant on the national stage because he was an internationally known figure and he painted seriously all his life, he started life as a painter and then turned to acting. this is the first—ever exhibition of his work. although it concentrates mainly in the last 20 years, it is a

significant thing. it is a big responsibility, john had been asked in the past, i think, if he wanted to have an exhibition and he kind of pushed that he didn't have enough work or it wasn't good enough. i can only hope that he would be quietly chuffed me you know? but he may well be up there in some way or another saying, what are you doing? be up there in some way or another saying, what are you doing7m be up there in some way or another saying, what are you doing? it is a great chance to see works by a man who never exhibited during his lifetime. ian balmer, bbc news. that's all we've got time for this morning. thank you all for watching. more from bbc news online. hope you enjoy the rest of your sunday. dan and louise will be back with you from six tomorrow morning. to make sure you join them then. thank you. goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines at 9: the new brexit secretary, dominic raab, admits he's still persuading some cabinet ministers to back the prime
