eye to the plight of commuters. let's speak to david guest two is a preston station for us. how is it working and how is it looking this morning? 0r working and how is it looking this morning? or the timetable is working? when i arrived here, the first words i heard were northern apologise for the cancellation of the service to barrel, it felt a bit like deja vu. we've seen a number of cancellations or delays but not anything like the number we have seenin anything like the number we have seen in recent weeks. the problems with northern rail have existed for a long time, exacerbated in may when they introduced a new timetable and didn't have the number of drivers, injune he didn't have the number of drivers, in june he introduced didn't have the number of drivers, injune he introduced an interim timetable, withdrew 168 services in the hope of making the service reliable, still problems going on,

restricted the meters, angry politicians who say northern should be stripped of their franchise because they are incapable of running the franchise. northern have said they are reintroducing 75% of those 168 services they withdrew at the top ofjune, they will have the rest back on stream by september. beep and speaking to passengers this morning to gauge what they think about the new new timetable. about a month ago i had to stay with friends in manchester is only because i couldn't come back to preston and guarantee i could get to work, for me it was a big struggle. recently it's been better than it was. i'm going to check on the platform to see if it's on time. it's been cancelled at short notice. i was expecting a train at seven minutes past six, it's been cancelled because of lack of drivers. the service has been much improved, hopefully they will get back together come before this they work fine, they've just had a massive lip. so a mixed bag of opinions from

passengers but they aren't the only ones who hope this gets sorted, a report today from the northern powerhouse partnership reckons the chaos on the rail system has cost businesses here £37 million. they wa nt businesses here £37 million. they want this sorted, only time will tell if they have now got on top of this. thank you ever so much. let's head over to the bbc newsroom. julian worricker is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. don't sturgis, the mother of three who died after being exposed to another child will be buried later. public are things and has reiterated that the risk to the public is low. the authorities in northern

california are continuing to battle wildfires. six people are known to have died with 12,000 firefighters tackling 17 separate blazes. homes reduced to ash. entire communities forced to flee. in northern california, still, the fire rages on. an area bigger than san francisco has already been wiped out and the number killed is rising. there has been a fourth victim identified as a result of the fire consuming a residence and a decedent located in that residence. it follows the deaths of two children, emily and james roberts and their grandmother melody bledsoe in the town of redding. i was talking to my little grandson on the phone. he's sayin‘, "grandpa, please, you gotta come and help us, the fire's at the backdoor, come and get us!" i said, "i'm close by, son, i'm trying to get in there." i said i'm...right by ya.

two firefighters have also lost their lives and seven more people are missing. but the worst may be over. we're feeling a lot more optimistic today as we are starting to gain some ground rather than being in the defensive mode on this fire. we are starting to make good progress out there. this is one of 130 major fires burning across north america, from new mexico to alaska. with more dry weather on the way, it could be a while before flames subside. peter saull, bbc news. and we will be hearing from two people affected by the fires at about 9.50. the malaysian government has published its latest report into the disappearance of mh370. it vanished with 239 people on board in 2014 when it was en route to beijing. an official search only

endedin beijing. an official search only ended in may. a malaysian official in charge of the investigation told reporters that it is still not known what caused the plaintiffs appear, but he did say after the last medication with the ground it deviated from the flight path and a series of turns. translation: from our analysis, we can conclude that mh370 had turned back, and we can also confirm that it was not because ofan also confirm that it was not because of an anomalous mechanical system. we have determined how the aircraft turned back, and we can confirm it was not made through autopilot but through manual control. in russia, six prison staff have been detained after footage six prison staff have been detained afterfootage emerged six prison staff have been detained after footage emerged showing the brutal and prolonged beating of an inmate by guards. the recording from one of the mandatory cameras worn by prison guards has shocked russia.

human rights groups say it exposes a culture of institutionalised violence. sarah rainsford has been speaking to the prisoner's mother and there are distressing images from the start. they used the prisoner as a punching bag. one by one, first with fists, and then with truncheons. 18 guards against one man in handcuffs. this is the punishment for swearing at a warden. one man beats him so hard he exhausts himself. now that guard and five others have been detained. this man has admitted his part in the violence, but only after the shocking video was leaked to the press. before then, the victim's official complaint went nowhere. his mother tells me she cried watching the footage of him being beaten. she

is too nervous to show her face. but she can't get the sight and sound of her son's suffering out of her head now. translation: her son's suffering out of her head now. translationzlj her son's suffering out of her head now. translation: i want everything to be exposed at last, and for those men to bejudged as to be exposed at last, and for those men to be judged as they deserve, to be punished, that is what i want. he has been moved from prison number one for his own safety. his lawyer, who got hold of the incriminating video, has left russia after being threatened. the video footage of what happened here is so shocking and so clear that it has forced the authorities to investigate. but russian human rights groups say violence in prisons is common, even routine. it is just that the evidence does not usually get out. he says that he was beaten by

guards. they don't follow the laws of the country. the prisoner will be beaten 100%. the local human rights official denies priso abuse is systemic here, but he admits prosecution is very rare. the video footage from guards' body cameras is usually missing or incomplete. translation: i told prison staff they were obliged to film so that if they are justified in using force, i can defend them. so they started to use the cameras but they did it selectively, actually, to cover up crimes. this time the truth came out. what is not clear is whether holding abusers to account is still the exception or a new rule.

welshman to take home cycling's greatest prize yesterday. the celebrations continued deep into sunday night after thomas crossed the finish line on the champs elysee as the 2018 champion — in what was a largely processional final stage in paris. victory was all but assured in saturday's individual time trial. thomas' team sky teammate and four—time tour winner chris froome finished in third. thousands of welsh supporters had flocked to paris to see him seal the win. he was 14—1 underdog going into the tour. that is an incredible feat.|j believed i could beat everyone on my day, but to do it day after day for three weeks, the first time i had tried, it is just insane. three weeks, the first time i had tried, it isjust insane. it three weeks, the first time i had tried, it is just insane. it has been an amazing year. the confidence, riding the crest of a wave, we are certainly going to enjoy this. you don't think about this part, you think about crossing the line in the yellowjersey, but

you don't think about all the people that are going to message you, the kind messages you are going to get, the support, all other random people that are saying how they are crying scene you win. it's just, that are saying how they are crying scene you win. it'sjust, like, you've never met me. it is just insane. i really appreciate all of the support. it has been a tough tour, but the support has outshone any negativity. the great thing about this particular tour de france was that both guys are so experienced. you know, they are both very mature. they were fantastic together. there was no conflict. they supported each other and what class by chris froome. the moment he realised he wasn't going to win, straight to help his team mate. that is the sign of a great, great champion. absolutely, a fantastic champion. well geraint thomas is the latest success story, from a very successful school — whitchurch high in cardiff. real madrid's gareth bale was also a pupil at the same school and he sent his congratulations

to geraint thomas. as did another alumni, the former wales and lions captain sam warburton. what do they put in the school lunch? there has to be something in the water! let's talk about the england's women's hockey team, they have been struggling at the world cup but they finally won a match? england are through to the knock—out stages of the hockey world cup after finally winning a group game. they beat ireland 1—0, giselle ansley with the all—important goal, after they struggled to break down the irish defence for much of the game. ? england now play korea in the knockout rounds on tuesday. wayne rooney's start to life in the us has been an eventful. the former england and manchester united striker is settling into new club dc united, based in washington, and he's off the mark with his first goal, but that wasn't his only involvement in the game. defending a corner in the last minute, rooney got himself a broken nose for his troubles. he tweeted afterwards

that he needed five stitches. so a start to life in america that i'm sure wayne rooney won't forget in a hurry! that's all the sport for now. ever fancied yourself as the next kate moss or cara delavigne? well hundreds of young hopefuls attempt to break into the industry each year with the dream of becoming a top model. but this programme has learnt many are being duped by some modelling companies who are charging them hundreds, sometimes thousands of pounds with the false promise of work with top brands. we've spoken to families who've handed over considerable sums for a portfolio of photographs which they believe will help their child break it into the industry and get paid work. ? anna adams has the story. it's a dream job. you get paid to travel the world and wear fabulous outfits. instant fame and fortune for anyone with a pretty face.

who wouldn't want the chance to be a top model? they automatically say, "you're so beautiful. why haven't you done this before?" and they start spinning things and making it seem like you could do something, make something of yourself. well, we couldn't pay the 2500, so we asked them to give us a couple of minutes to talk. when he came back we agreed the lowest we could pay was £1000 and he said he is going to be happy to take that from us. absolutely one of the key things is to never hand over money. i find this time of year especially, it's the school holidays, and these people ramp up their activity. there are dozens of companies preying on teenagers desperate to get into the industry. we've spoken to families who have handed over thousands of pounds for photographs

in the belief their child could be a model. i had tried to find a way to make some quick, easy money and everyone was constantly telling me, "you could do some modelling, it's kind of an easy thing to get into and it's quick money." so i started applying to agencies online. then i got a call. they called me. and then they called my mum. and then after that they set a meeting date where you go in, you have your photos taken, and after you have your photos taken, they discuss work prospects with you and what you could do. on the day, i mean, they were very convincing. i said, "ok, let's do this, have a nice experience and so on." it was really lovely. it was really nice. the people were attending and caring and so on. she was very happy, enjoying the hairand make—up and dressing up and so on. they asked us to come to the office. there was a tiny, dark office

and she had her computer open and she said, "you did very well. we are all very happy with you," pumping us all. then she turned the screen towards us and we could see her on the front cover of the magazine, this beauty magazine. and it looked very lovely, you know. when you look at it like this, "wow, this is great." a great opportunity. of course every girl... well, almost every girl would like to see herself as such, to be on the front of a magazine. but after the excitement of the photo shoot, there was a hard sell. i could see almost straightaway that this was a kind of manipulation game going on. with all the prices. i started to talk to her in polish, rudely, in front of the woman. i said, "this is a con. you're not going to do it. i'm very sorry but i'm not paying this money." she had tears in her eyes. "please, i beg you. i want to. this is my lifetime opportunity."

you know, the heart is breaking and you know that the money is going to go somewhere else. then she says, "you have to go. you have to make a decision now because there are some other people coming in and waiting in the queue. so make a decision now, make a decision now." and so then finally i agreed to the lowest amount. they eventually paid £400 but never did get any work and their calls were never returned. after a month, they gave up. i could see that she knew already that this is not going to happen. all of it was a bunch of lies and she was really frustrated and i could see her, you know, bringing everything back, being lied to. i think it was that first very strong experience, welcome to the adult world. try to be positive, you know. bad things happen. stop because i will cry as well!

bad things happen but this wasn't the worst, you know? but some families had been persuaded to hand over even more money. mirela was one of them. she wanted to help her stepdaughter become a model. we uploaded the picture onto a website. it seemed simple. and we got a call back from the agent that they would love to see us, so then we arranged an appointment and when we came to the appointment we had the photo shoot. he said, "she looks beautiful. she would get a job in no time, no problem." then he started to list company names. he said they were just calling me today. they have a look at all of the girls and they pick. it was very scary but it was also ecstatic because he told us this is a perfect deal for us. so because of the speech, the marketing speech

that he gave us, we were feeling like we were doing something great for our daughter, my stepdaughter. at any time did you think something is not quite right here? no. which is why i feel guilt because everyone knows and i knew it that you don't give money for agents. and not to mention dad's opinion about it, because you don't know when your kid is looking at you with the eyes. "yes, daddy, i would love this. i would love this." i know because i was there. we couldn't pay the 2500, so we asked him to give us a couple of minutes to talk. when he came back, we agreed that the lowest we could pay was £1000 and he said he was going to be happy to take that from us. basically we went home. we couldn't read the dvd. there were no pictures on it. that was the first slap in the face. so i tried to call them. first, three times. then i know that's bad. because customer service not only was really bad, there was no customer service,

they made me feel in the first conversation why am i calling? karen diamond has been in the industry for 30 years. she's a director at models 1 and she says this has been going on for years. when i first started it tended to be lone photographers who would offer to shoot a model's portfolio and charge for those photographs and all of the top reputable agencies really didn't use those photographs. it'sjust got more sophisticated now. now rather than it being one lone photographer, you now have somebody who scouts on the street, scouts on social media, and then lures them to a studio environment that can look very professional and there's a flashy website. so all of these things that will encourage people to think that they are professional and have a good reputation will suck in these youngsters who are desperate, desperately want to be models.

the worst things are the sums of money now involved. they are very, very pushy professional salespeople and they are counting on these young people, how badly they want to be a model, and there is somebody there giving them that opportunity. at the beginning they are led to believe that it isn't that much money but once they're in the system, in the process, it's, "oh, if you buy this package or you do this, you do this," and the moneyjust goes up and up and up. then when it's shown to be not what they pretended it's going to be, they feel foolish. but it absolutely destroys these young people's confidence. i find at this time of the year especially, its the school holidays and these people ramp up their activity because there are lots of young people milling around. they are not in school at the moment and maybe they're out and about, teenagers without their parents, and they are kind of easy prey. that was anna adams reporting.

we've come across several companies who are acting in this way. but both the women you saw in that report used a company called london fashion models and we've spoken to other people who've had similar experiences with this same company. we've tried to contact london fashion models by email and letter for their reaction to the stories of the people we've spoken to, but have had no response. we should also say that there are other companies operating with names similar to london fashion models which are not connected to them and have not formed part of our investigation. we'll be discussing our findings just after 10 o'clock with some other families who've been caught out by this practice. this tweet has just come in from a modelling company that says we do not charge any fees upfront and we only take commission if we get paid work for model, the agencies you

refer to give us a bad name. another says the pursuit of fame and fortune as the oldest con in history. another says my company manufactures lady's apparel, and we avoid model agencies that put adverts online. a job offer is given if they carry our products, and all girls must be over 18. share your experiences of the modelling industry. still to come... geraint thomas has become the third briton to win the tour de france — we'll be talking to friends and teammates to find out more about the welsh cyclist. and as wildfires continue to rage in california we'll talk to two residents affected by the blazes just before we go to the news i

wa nted just before we go to the news i wanted to show you this clip of the new foreign secretary, jeremy hunt. he is ona new foreign secretary, jeremy hunt. he is on a trip to china. you can see why it makes sense to mention the fact that his wife is chinese on a visit to beijing this morning. or did it? also, my wife is japanese... my did it? also, my wife is japanese... my wife is chinese, sorry! the cameras. . . my wife is chinese, sorry! the cameras... we spoke injapanese at a state banquet. but my wife is chinese. my children are half chinese. my children are half chinese. so we have chinese grandparents, and strong family connections to china. we came to china for our holiday in april, before the official visit. so my great hope is that we can make this friendship between china and the uk grow deeper. you can imagine he

practised that at home and it came out slightly differently in front of all of those people. jeremy hunt come in china. now the latest news from julian. most of the train services withdrawn by northern rail are being reinstated. it scrapped 168 services per day last month to try to relieve the chaos caused by the timetable introduction in may. ministers described the destruction as unacceptable. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has accused the government of turning a blind eye to the plight of commuters. safety measures will be in place to correct —— protect mourners at the funeral of dawn stu rg ess, mourners at the funeral of dawn sturgess, who died after exposure to novichok. reverend philip bromley said the funeral directors had been working with public health england, which reiterated its advice that the risks to the public is low. 12,000

rescue effort is still under way. at least 16 people have died and more than 160 were injured. the people of zimbabwe are going to the polls in the country's first elections since robert mugabe was forced out of office after almost four decades. his successor as president and leader of zanu—pf, emmerson mnangagwa, is trying to cement his rule. robert mugabe has refused to endorse and even hinted he might vote for his opponent. the beano celebrates its 80th birthday today. first published in 1938, it has made generations of children laugh at the exploits of famous characters like dennis the menace and the bash street kids. david walliams has guest edited a commemorative addition to mark the anniversary.

that's a summary of all the news. chloe, back to you. now, a summary of the sports news. geraint thomas has described winning the tour de france as the "stuff of dreams" after he became the first welshman to take home cycling's greatest prize. thomas crossed the finish line on the champs elysee on sunday lewis hamilton won the hungary and grumpyfor lewis hamilton won the hungary and grumpy for the sixth time, his closest rival sebastian vettel finished second and england have won their first match of the hockey world cup, beating ireland thanks to this goal. a plate korea in the knockout stages. wayne rooney has broken his duck in mls football scoring his first goal. his contribution did not end there, he broke his nose whilst defending a corner. and that's all this board.

let's talk about geraint thomas and his victory in the tour de france. for people who don't understand cycling just put it into context. how incredible it is. lots of different levels it's incredible, another rajesh rider winning it, but for him he's been on this tour for 11 years and he was really seen as one of the stars of the future back in 2010, when dave brailsford, the head of team sky, we expect there to bea head of team sky, we expect there to be a british winner of the tour de france which never happened before. he had around thomas in mind at that time. two years later in 2012 sir bradley wiggins bonnet, subsequently chris froome won three of the last four and four geraint thomas, he's a lwa ys four and four geraint thomas, he's always been the rider waiting in the wings, the reliable the tenant, the wings, the reliable the tenant, the wing man, he has helped others to

victory and sometimes at crucial moments when he had the chance to regress and when he has fallen short ata regress and when he has fallen short at a crucial point i think for him to come through now and he's bided his time and waited, perhaps he thought it might never come, he'd a lwa ys thought it might never come, he'd always been part of the supporting cast, his first tour was back in 2007. his finish was 140 out of 141 riders which is extraordinary. i think for him it's kind of, his time to shine and pretty late as well, he's only a year younger than chris froome, but he has waited for his moment and seized it as well after a kind of consistent performance throughout this tour. it's a huge thing, the first welsh man to win the tour de france and it's a huge thing back in wales, there have been supporters who have taken the eu rostar supporters who have taken the eu rosta r to

supporters who have taken the eurostar to come across and see him across the finish line. the celebrations are massive and understandably so. we will get a sense of those. thanks so much. we will talk about the secret behind his success. but first let's hear his success. but first let's hear his reaction to being a champion immediately after the race. it's mental, whenever anybody says that i've got to pinch myself, it's going to ta ke i've got to pinch myself, it's going to take some time to sink in. as it sunkenin to take some time to sink in. as it sunken in terms of compared to yesterday, you were extremely emotional, how do you feel, a little bit smug? i've got a bit more used to that. yesterday, wasjust bit smug? i've got a bit more used to that. yesterday, was just raw emotion, i never thought about the outcome, it was doing the small things right, thinking about the next line, the planning. just staying cam and collected so yes, realising i had one and did not know

how to react, it came pouring out. so yes, it's just insane. how to react, it came pouring out. so yes, it'sjust insane. there is a theory doing the rounds that you we re theory doing the rounds that you were planning all along. theory doing the rounds that you were planning all alonglj theory doing the rounds that you were planning all along. i wish it was. chris froome was the leader going into it. obviously i had my chance. i'm really happy to have taken the chance. i'm really happy to have ta ken the opportunity. chance. i'm really happy to have taken the opportunity. now you've stepped into the level of legend, how do you cope with that, is that going to change you?” how do you cope with that, is that going to change you? i don't think so, i hope not. time will tell. i don't think so. i'll always be the same, it looks like it's gone crazy back home. looking forward to getting back and celebrating with everyone. at the same time looking forward to normality as well. watching breakfast tv in bed with a coffee. having some toast on the sofa. simple things. and then, you

know, realising that i have won the tour. it's just crazy. let's talk now to jason price who used to race against geraint when they were teenagers— and would often beat him! debbie wharton was geraint‘s coach at maindy flyers club — she joins us with 11—year—old sophie wyatt who is training at the club and has been inspired by geraint‘s win. steve gabriel is a british cycling leader whose organized a celebration bike ride in the middle of cardiff last night. barry hoban is an eight times tour de france stage winner. thank you all for it speaking to us. harry, let's start with you, or people who don't follow cycling put into words how mentally and physically gruelling it is to compete in the tour de france, let alone win it. few people realise that if you took the olympic games,

athletics and you said to someone, usain bolt for example, you can compete in the 100 metres and 200 metres but you've got to compete in the marathon as well. he'd have second thoughts about that that is what the tour de france is, an accumulation of high mountains, time trials, sprint, a multi—faceted road race trials, sprint, a multi—faceted road ra ce over trials, sprint, a multi—faceted road race over 21 days. jason, i know you used to race against him, what was he like as a competitor? he was extremely quiet, wouldn't have really stood out from the crowd but after about 12 months of racing you could see the talent was starting to come through. what do you spot as talent in a cyclist, explain? to start with it's how you get on the hills when you start, if you count do the hills you are not going to go far. debbie, you were his coach,

weren't you, did you first meet him when he was nine? yes, he was nine when he was nine? yes, he was nine when he was nine? yes, he was nine when he first started with the club. can you see talent at that age?|j can you see talent at that age?” wouldn't say you could. when he came along he was all the other kids. and we weren't along he was all the other kids. and we we ren't looking along he was all the other kids. and we weren't looking for talent, we we re we weren't looking for talent, we were giving kids a good time in cycling, he came and had a goal, rode round with the other kids, enjoyed it. that's what sophie is doing. thank you forjoining us sophie. what is it that you love about cycling? it's not that there is any pressure on you to train at whatever level you like. different training sessions and it is really fun. when you see geraint thomas winning the tour de france does that blow your mind? yes, i'm over the moon for him because he's worked so ha rd moon for him because he's worked so hard all this time, he deserves to

win. steve, i know you held this big cycle round cardiff last night, didn't you? hundreds of people turned out to celebrate. it completely blew my mind last night. i wasn't expecting that many people, we had well over 300 turn up and the support and the atmosphere was just outstanding, just magic. give us a sense of what it means for people, not just sense of what it means for people, notjust in cardiff but across wales to have this man win the tour de france. i think he'sjust one of the most down—to—earth kind of guys. and it'sjust having that person who... you feel like you kind of know him, i suppose and it'sjust going to be a massive boost to everything with cycling, it's going to be amazing for us. jason, that probably sums it up, for people watching at home i

think people think that thomas is a very natural person, there is no facade, what you see is what you get, would you agree? absolutely, you can go for a ride from newport to cardiff, you can see him training, he will always wave, down—to—earth. training, he will always wave, down-to-earth. debbie, i can see you we re down-to-earth. debbie, i can see you were smiling, you agree with that. definitely, definitely. when he was young, you didn't spot that talent straightaway when he joined year nine, he wasjust straightaway when he joined year nine, he was just another kid getting on a bike, at what point did you realise he was special? when he was roundabout the team he started to win quite a lot of races in his age group and when he was 14 he won some metals in older age groups as well and at that point he was going quick and people were looking at him and saying, how is this boy so fast, how do his legs go around so quickly and from then he became more focused

and from then he became more focused and determined. that was when he started to show some potential. barry, would you say that this comes down to talent or hard work? you need the talent but you need the ha rd need the talent but you need the hard work. without the hard work you get no further. and i think what geraint thomas has done this year, he's decided not to ride the early—season classics which takes a huge toll out of you. he's had an easy start to the season, built his warm up, and he prepare heard for the tour with another race which he won and he entered the tour in the ideal conditions. and we mustn't forget this was meant to be chris froome is year, everyone was expecting that chris froome would again when the tour de france, jason, what point did you realise that it wasn't going according to the script? i probably didn't realise until the final stages, to be honest, i was still expecting

chris froome to try and make itjump across but luckily it did not happen. there were issues and i'm interested to know what you all think, we saw so many of those problems, really, coming from the crowd, things being thrown a provider is, chris froome was at one point physically pushed on his bike. debbie, were you surprised to see that coming from the crowd? yes, cycling has always been a great sword of family sport and you can go along and there are real fans who support the riders and the sure it was a lot different, i wasn't expecting that at all. and people booing all the time, shouting and pushing, it wasn't the sport that i've grown up watching. barry, why do you think that was, wasn't because of the doping allegations which have surrounded the sport in the last years? i think it's because

sky came along and they suddenly started to dominate in an overwhelming fashion and i don't think the french could really accept it. but now, everyone or every big team all model themselves on the sky team. what needs to be done, jason, do you think there needs to be more protection, it's difficult, when you're talking about long distances, you're talking about long distances, you can't barrier and police and stewards all along the road but clearly the riders need to be protected ? clearly the riders need to be protected? definitely but like you said, to barrier at the entire route is impossible, what they can do, i'm not quite sure. you think debbie, there is anything they can do?” really don't know, it's the french opinion of team sky at the moment isn't that great and i don't know how that will change but i really hope it does. and i also want to

bring you back in, steve, i think lots of people who don't follow cycling will have heard the headlines and accusations of doping in the sport, do you think the likes of around thomas winning is going to change the direction, the perception and the image of the sport, notjust amongst people who follow cycling but wider society? i would like to think so, it's very much with the chris froome and allegations he has had, it had such a negative effect, i think anyone who follows cycling probably never even doubted the result for a second that he was innocent. but with the way g has done this, there's never been any problems, allegations, it's an absolute brilliant showcase for him. barry, do you agree this is good for

the sport and the sport needs some positive role models to make people believe in the sport? that would suggest that the line has frozen but i don't know if jason wants to pick up i don't know if jason wants to pick up on that? i think we've always had a lot of talent in britain as far as cycling is concerned and in wales, lauren may it continue.” cycling is concerned and in wales, lauren may it continue. i think we've reconnected eyeliner. all you see, that's frustrating, but would suggest the internet are setting is down, let's have one last try, can you hear us? i can hearyou. great, do you think it's important the image of cycling has a new figurehead, if you like?” image of cycling has a new figurehead, if you like? i think with geraint thomas and chris froome you have ideal role models because both of them are perfect gentleman and sportsmen who do everything

correct. sophie, you are sitting so patiently and i want to bring you back in, what do you want to do, do you want to look at what around thomas has done and say yes i want to become a professional cyclist do you feel that this is more of a hobby for you? it's sort of in between both, i think it's more of a hobby but maybe when i get older and see how fast i can go maybe i will turn that into a career.” see how fast i can go maybe i will turn that into a career. i also wa nted turn that into a career. i also wanted as debbie who's sitting next to you, the school that around thomas went to was a bit of a superstar school, wasn't it? it was. explain who else went to the school. gareth bale and some and around thomas. what is do is do they do about school, i was joking about whether they put something in the lunches, it's pretty impressive to have three huge sporting names at

one school. it is, isn't it, it's wonderful for the school and the teacher there, those three ambassadors for the sport have come through the school. we can see pictures of it now. how big is that school? it's the biggest secondary school? it's the biggest secondary school in cardiff. it's got over i don't know actually, 1500 pupils. it's across two sites. they lot of pupils but still an incredible achievement. debbie, a final thought, what do you think this win has done not just for thought, what do you think this win has done notjust for cycling but for wales, actually? it's really put wales on the map. like gareth bale has. around thomas so proud of being welsh, he's always there with the welsh, he's always there with the welsh flag. there are welsh flags in the street this morning, we never get that for cycling normally in wales, it's fantastic. he's a hero.

enjoy the buzz and thank you all so much for speaking to me. i'm very grateful. thank you. devastating wildfires in california are still raging this morning after burning all week. 5,000 people around the town of lakeport, north of san fransisco have been evacuated from their homes as serious wildfires continue to burn in california. eight people are now known to have died. there's been an outbreak of ferocious wildfires in the northern hemisphere — in greece last week more than 80 people were killed, while in sweden 30,000 hectares of forest have been destroyed. homes reduced to ask, communities forced to flee. an area bigger than san francisco has over the beam wiped out, the number killed rising. there has been a fourth victim identified as a result of the fire consuming a residence and a decedent located in the residence. follows

the death two children, emily and james roberts and her great—grandmother in the town of redding. i was talking to my little grandson and on the phone and he said grandpa, help us, the fire is at the back door. i said i am close by, trying to get in there. i said, i'm right by you. two firefighters have also lost their lives and seven more people are missing. but the worst may be over. we're feeling a lot more optimistic today as we are starting to gain some ground rather than being in the defensive mode on this fire. we are starting to make good progress out there. this is one of 130 major fires burning across north america, from new mexico to alaska. with more dry weather on the way, it could be a while before flames subside. peter saull, bbc news. lets talk now to paul elliott. he's british, he lives in california and he's taken in his elderly

neighbour who had to flee her home. thank you so much. that's frustrating, i turned around and i can see you. how i can see you now, tell us what is happening with the wildfires now and how you have been affected. the wildfires that the first time in the last week have actually it feels a lot calmer today, we self evacuated thursday in the height of it, it was terrifying. 40,000 people leaving the city. it was chaos. absolute chaos. tell us how close was the fire getting to your home at that point? we were roughly about two miles from that but at that point it was thursday night and it's so hard tojudge distance because all you can see, the sky was a light, it was just aren't, we didn't take any chances

along with thousands of other people. at that point, can you feel the heat from that distance? it's a ha rd the heat from that distance? it's a hard thing to explain, its hot here a nyway hard thing to explain, its hot here anyway but it was different, much more intense sort of heat. you say you got out along with thousands of other people, in your cars? it was gridlock. definitely like a scene from a disaster movie, you couldn't move, people trying to direct traffic, people in a general panic trying to get away from the flames. you got away but you come back to your home, is that right? that's correct, fortunately for us we were on the east side of the city which hasn't been affected, much more on the west side and north of us. they are still much of the devastation, it's been too chaotic for them to check on things at the moment. how quickly overfire moving direction, presumably that's the concern?

that's correct. the last couple of days it has settled down into one direction which is westwards but before that, it was changing every hour and that made firefighters jobs so difficult, they had to position themselves but it would move in a different direction. give us a sense of what it's like outside your home in your neighbourhood, explain how badly it's been affected. on thursday, friday, saturday, continual following of ash, thursday, friday, saturday, continualfollowing of ash, like thursday, friday, saturday, continual following of ash, like a snow flurry, ash covering every word, we've driven downtown, the roads are normally busy, no further near as busy, so many people left the city. and i understand you have had to bring in your neighbour to look after her, tell us. yes, one of our elderly neighbours lived in one of the most severely threatened areas on thursday, we located her at

areas on thursday, we located her at a local airport, was the only place she could think to go, we went and took her in. i'm sure that story has been repeated thousands of times. while it's incredibly kind of you and i'm grateful to you for taking the time to speak to us. all elliot living in california very close to those wildfires. so many of you getting in touch with us about that story we were talking about earlier, young women particularly being duped into spending hundreds of pounds to get photography portfolios to try and lodge modelling career and then discover work that had been promised to them did not exist. many people sharing their stories with us. cheryl e—mailed to say it my niece was also a victim of this fake industry, she was lulled into a sense of security by a company, who —— we paid a £50 deposit, we ended up —— we paid a £50 deposit, we ended up paying £1500, this kind of conduct needs to be highlighted to

let's get some sport. one story dominating. geraint thomas has described winning the tour de france as the "stuff of dreams" after he became the first welshman to take home cycling's greatest prize yesterday. what a day then in paris for him and his team, where we can nowjoin our reporter olly foster. how lucky you are to be in that a beautiful city after a day like that? we didn't get to the party, u nfortu nately. that? we didn't get to the party, unfortunately. that must have been something very special indeed. you are right, pure emotion on the most famous finish line in world cycling. the national anthem has bled out six times in the last seven years for sir bradley wiggins and then four times for chris froome. but the first time for a welshman. geraint thomas has been in the yellowjersey

for over half the tour, conquering back—to—back stage wins in the alps. it was eight dream come true for geraint thomas, conquering the most famous stages. then holding on to the yellow jersey as well. famous stages. then holding on to the yellowjersey as well. then it just became inevitable, as chris froome's legs just tired over the course of three mountain stages of the pyrenees. the team leader, suddenly becoming the domestic, as geraint thomas has been for so many yea rs, geraint thomas has been for so many years, the ultimate team and suddenly becoming tour champion. very emotionalfor suddenly becoming tour champion. very emotional for geraint thomas yesterday, to win his first tour de france title. you don't think about this part, you think about winning and crossing the line in the yellow jersey, but you never think about all the people that are going to message you, the kind messages you're going to get, all of the support, the random people that are, like, saying how they are crying seeing you win. it'sjust like, you've never met me. it'sjust

insane, i really appreciate all the support. it's been a tough tour from that side of things, but the support has outshone any negativity. the great thing about this particular tour de france was that both guys are so experienced. you know, they are so experienced. you know, they are both very mature. they were fantastic together. there was no conflict, they supported each other. what a class by chris froome. the moment he realised he wasn't going to win the race, straight to the help of his team—mate. that is the sign ofa help of his team—mate. that is the sign of a great, great champion. dave brailsford, the head of team sky. when he formed the teenage yea rs sky. when he formed the teenage years ago he said, we are going to try to win the tour de france in five years. my word, six times they have won it. chris froome has won other grand tours as well. he will be back, you would have thought, even stronger. geraint thomas, what next for him? he has got a

multi—million pound deal on the table, we understand. at the age of 32, what can he do next? indeed, thank you very much. that is all the sport for now. earlier in the programme we brought you the story of two young women who spent hundreds of pounds for a portfolio of pictures with a modelling company who falsely promised that they would help them to get modelling work with top brands. they are not alone, there are dozens of companies operating in this way they charge hundreds, sometimes thousands of pounds for photographs, preying on teenagers who are desperate to get into the industry. we're going to discuss this in a moment with a group of people who've been duped by such companies. first here's a reminder of the story of one of women we heard from earlier. anna adams went to meet dominika, a 16—year—old from west london, who got in touch with one of these companies because she thought modelling would be a good way for her to make some money. i had tried to find a way to make

some quick, easy money. everyone was constantly telling me, "you could do some modelling, it's kind of an easy thing to get into and it's quick money." so i started applying to agencies online. then i got a call. they called me. and then they called my mum. and then after that they set a meeting date where you go in, you have your photos taken, and after you have your photos taken, they discuss work prospects with you and what you could do. on the day, i mean, they were very convincing. i said, "ok, let's do this, have a nice experience and so on." it was really lovely. it was really nice. the people were attending and caring and so on. she was very happy, enjoying the hairand make—up and dressing up and so on. they asked us to come to the office. there was a tiny, dark office and she had her computer open and she said, "you did very well. we are all very happy with you," pumping us all.

then she turned the screen towards us and we could see her on the front cover of the magazine, this beauty magazine. and it looked very lovely, you know. when you look at it like this, "wow, this is great." a great opportunity. of course every girl... well, almost every girl would like to see herself as such, to be on the front of a magazine. but after the excitement of the photo shoot, there was a hard sell. i could see almost straightaway that this was a kind of manipulation game going on with all the prices. i started to talk to her in polish, rudely, in front of the woman. i said, "this is a con. you're not going to do it. i'm very sorry but i'm not paying this money." she had tears in her eyes. "please, i beg you. i want to. this is my lifetime opportunity." you know, the heart is breaking and you know that the money is going to go somewhere else.

then she says, "you have to go. you have to make a decision now because there are some other people coming in and waiting in the queue. so make a decision now, make a decision now." and so then finally i agreed to the lowest amount. they eventually paid £400 but she never did get any work and their calls were never returned. after a month, they gave up. i could see that she knew already that this is not going to happen. all of it was a bunch of lies and she was really frustrated and i could see her, you know, bringing everything back, being lied to. i think it was that first very strong experience, welcome to the adult world. try to be positive, you know. bad things happen. stop, because i will cry as well! bad things happen but this wasn't the worst, you know?

that was anna adams reporting. we ve come across several companies who are acting in this way. you have been e—mailing about some of them this morning. but dominika who you saw in that report used a company called london fashion models. we ve spoken to other people who ve had similar experiences with this same company. we ve tried to contact london fashion models by email and letter for their reaction to the stories of the people we ve spoken to, but have had no response. we're joined now from the isle of wight by rosalinde pitcher who says she paid london fashion models £7000 for a portfolio of pictures which never arrived. in the studio we've got carolyn moretto and her son maxim, who paid around £1000 injanuary to a company called the studio works for a portfolio of photos which they never received. also here with me helena maltby, whose daughter daisy paid £3500 to a company called the studio works.

we've spoken to other people who've had similar experiences with the studio works and we've found that its registered at the same address as london fashion models. we've tried to contact them by email and letter too and had no response. also here is clive hurst who campaigns against companies engaging in this sort of practice. thank you all for coming to talk to us. this is a difficult thing to talk about, because it is a bit embarrassing, you are probably cross with yourself. what happened to you? we had previously been scanned a couple of years ago, i realised it was a scam when i couple of years ago, i realised it was a scam when i saw couple of years ago, i realised it was a scam when i saw it on watchdog. max said he had been, watchdog. max said he had contacted

bya watchdog. max said he had contacted by a company that was legitimate. being scammed once, i went down so prepared for it to be a scam, and they were so clever, the way they did the photographs, you have to leave the premises were two hours. in that time, they are saying, your photographs are going to the head office in oxford street. from there, you will have a decision whether you have made it or not. made it, what does that mean? get somewhere? get the work. we went out, we came back, we we re the work. we went out, we came back, we were invited in, showing the photographs. saying, we arejust what we are looking for, a campaign for river island. he will be paid £1000 for the shoot, he will get to keep the clothes. he said it would be three orfour keep the clothes. he said it would be three or four weeks' time, kings roadin be three or four weeks' time, kings road in chelsea, we will let you know the details, congratulations. then a lady coming in,

congratulations, well done, congratulating us on this job, congratulations, well done, congratulating us on thisjob, a job that obviously didn't exist. river island, being offered by this company, they are completely unaware of what is happening. did you have any suspicions, considering, as your man said, you had been scammed before? yes, the second time, i have asked three times, have i got the job, have i got the job, asked three times, have i got the job, have i got thejob, he asked three times, have i got the job, have i got the job, he said 100% guaranteed. i knew straightaway that it was a scam when he came out with different packages. he had bronze, silver, gold, diamond, with all the prices. it was exactly the same offer as the last scam offered me for the portfolio. this time we said we thought it was a scam, he said, no, that was a modelling agency, we are a platform agency, working directly with the models and the model companies, and replace models with the companies. we have all of the big brands on our side

and he was just reeling off different types of brands. they showed us them. loads of designer brands, saying that you can get international travel. we will pay for transport. the detail they going to about the job. they said it would be in three orfour to about the job. they said it would be in three or four weeks, to about the job. they said it would be in three orfour weeks, three weeks' time, ringing, and he would be on the shoot. and we are still waiting to hear from be on the shoot. and we are still waiting to hearfrom river be on the shoot. and we are still waiting to hear from river island, they said. did you worry at that point? it wasn't that that point, the next few phone calls they were explaining, yes, it is happening. the next phone call i made, it was ha rd to the next phone call i made, it was hard to understand the person on the phone. he said he was in a call centre in st albans, and that is when alarm bells started ringing. this sound right. —— does not sound right. what did it do to you to go through that twice? it was crazy. it

is like every childhood dream come ina way, is like every childhood dream come in a way, you are young, you want to bea in a way, you are young, you want to be a model, earning money, living the dream alive. for them to steal my money, and at the end of the day not getting a job, completely crushing, it is devastating. the cruel thing was, he said to the make—up artist that we have been scammed before, that i was wary, and now i remember that he did look a bit panicked, and he went out the room, then suddenly came to talk to us to say it was legitimate. i said, my son is going through a very vulnerable time at the moment, we have a bad experience, please, we don't want this happen again. knowing that he is vulnerable, knowing that there is no job, knowing that he is vulnerable, knowing that there is nojob, he knowing that he is vulnerable, knowing that there is no job, he was still prepared to steal his dream and his money, to line their pockets. it is just so... and his money, to line their pockets. it isjust so... how and his money, to line their pockets. it is just so... how can they? well, you are certainly not

alone. we have had so many comments coming in. i want to alone. we have had so many comments coming in. iwant to bring in rosalind. equally, you forked out a huge amount of money, didn't you? yes, me and my partner both did. £7,000? yes. tell me what happened to you? kind of the same thing. the same thing happened to me, where they called me and said that i had got through to the next round. we travelled all the way to london for this photo shoot. i remember getting my hairand make—up this photo shoot. i remember getting my hair and make—up done. it was quite a nice experience, to be honest. the photographer, he wasn't very professional. so, i had my

hopes up and everything. yeah, it just completely crushed me. the same thing happened, they said come back ina thing happened, they said come back in a couple of hours after the photograph was taken. we went back and they said i had got through. my picture was on a screen with my face and everything, it looked really good. there were some post—it notes saying this person is going to hear, like from vegas, calvin klein and things like that. when she started bringing up bronze, silver packages, i wanted something that was going to get me work. so we went and got quite a good package, for £1000. afterwards, we realised, the next day, i looked into it a bit more, because obviously it was a bit... i didn't think, when we were there on

the day, things just went bounding up the day, things just went bounding up properly. —— things were not adding up properly. we went into the bank the next day and confronted them about it. did you get any money back at all? we did, we managed to get our money back. all of it? yes, the bank actually refunded as all of our money. the bank were picking up the tab, rather than the company refunding you ? the tab, rather than the company refunding you? yes. what did that do to you? when he started to tell that story, i could tell that you felt uncomfortable saying it? yes, and i haven't done any kind of modelling since. it has completely crushed all my dreams, really. stay with us, i wa nt to my dreams, really. stay with us, i want to bring in helena, you paid £3500 for what sounds like a similar experience for your daughter, daisy? yes, but i haven't got the money back. so, she wanted to get a job,

she was 16, 17 now and does not want to come in because she is so humiliated, bless her. we did exactly the same thing, they were picking herup, exactly the same thing, they were picking her up, saying she was fantastic, it is quite interesting that we actually intelligent, professional people, and we want to get the message across, you are not stupid. we trusted in people, we believed we are good people so we felt the same about them. and they are slick. very clever. they are. they would say, has nobody approached you before? i can't believe it! what a missed talent you are. they wanted us to go on a platinum, £7,000. isaid, sorry, i haven't got it. she said, i will go out and talk to my boss. she said, we are going to invest in her, we

will invest £3500, because when she ends the money, we earn money. we we re ends the money, we earn money. we were then given prosecco. i saw exactly the same, the studio works, the same signature, we signed that. we went away. that was it, nothing. we went away. that was it, nothing. we phoned and e—mailed. i know that london fashion models they will say, e—mail this address, and london fashion models they will say, e—mailthis address, and it london fashion models they will say, e—mail this address, and it was london fashion models, not studio works. the guarantee, our after—care team is full of dedicated people with years of experience to make sure you achieve your dreams. they will work hard from the beginning, starting from choosing your photos, through the application process and will stay with you until you feel comfortable in the industry. nothing. nothing. we have phoned, e—mailed, and then we get crystal,

britain's top modelling codes will be assisting you, the studio works, nothing. that is my life savings and my daughter's confidence shot to pieces. aside from the money, which of course is no small amount of money, he said daisy does not want to come in because she feels humiliated, she has no reason to, but as a teenager, i can understand why. what was done to her confidence was to muggy it has destroyed it, she feels really stupid, as i do, i told my friends to watch me looking stupid. it was our trust in humanity and wanting the best for our children. in theory, i had lent daisy £3500 because she was guaranteed work within four weeks, getting their money back, within 12 weeks, and she was going to pay me backin weeks, and she was going to pay me back in 12 weeks. that was my savings for normal things that you

get, like when you get a leak in your roof or something, it is all gone. clive, you have sat there throughout this, pulling faces and not looking terribly surprised.” have been on this case for 21 years, andl have been on this case for 21 years, and i have met with government departments, i have spoken to numerous trading standards throughout the country. i have helped many victims get refunds. i have got finance companies to get refunds for people. but everyone who actually looks at this on a television screen thinks, well, how could people be so stupid? i can understand why they think like that. they say, the camera loves

you, i think you would be ideal for thisjob. you, i think you would be ideal for this job. so, what should change? what can change to type this up? you said you had been looking at this for 20 years? there is not a golden bullet. it is not illegal to offer work that doesn't exist. the employment agency standards is the government department who are responsible for the conduct of employment agencies. yet they do nothing. they have regulations, but they say things like, i have shown an invoice from the photographers, making a charge to the agency of £750. but it is bogus. and the government department says, there is nothing we can do about that because it doesn't come within our regulations. so, it's to do with... at the moment, nothing is pulling

together? it is not illegal to offer work that doesn't exist. people will be amazed by that. an e—mail, i have paid over £8,000 for a platinum package for my 11—year—old daughter in may. we had just gone to see what a make—up artist job in may. we had just gone to see what a make—up artistjob was like and possibly if she wanted to be one when she grew up. i have so far spent £1200 in legal costs to get the money back. i've had e—mail and phone contact with them, they all go by different aliases and give out false information and addresses for the after—care centre. i have received half back now, once my credit card company because i split it between two credit cards, and i hope to receive the rest from the others. i had great support from citizens advice about taking them to the small claims court. my insurance company will cover legal costs if i wa nt to company will cover legal costs if i want to pursue the personal injury side of the allegations, but because i don't have any proof i don't know if it is worth it. what has this done for your ambitions to become a

model? well, it hasjust completely messed things up. my ambitions. i was at college, you know? a student. i was doing a part—timejob. when i got into the modelling agency, they were, like, you know, when are you leaving college? you can do this full—time. yourjob is ourjob, the amount of money you are earning, we are getting it at the same time. i stopped, at one point, i think during the summer, working for a bit because i was expecting to work for them. i was expecting them to receive information back for work. that has completely wasted my time, wasted my whole time and money. it has completely... you have given up

modelling? totally given it up. it is the second time i have got scammed. it caused severe anxiety and we said, enough is enough. he is going a couple different direction now. it is worth saying that if it isa now. it is worth saying that if it is a reputable model company, platform, agency, they will never ask for money upfront? they claim that there is no money upfront. but then, once they have got you in there, they then do the sales. but a reputable model agency would never ask for money upfront, so the warning is if somebody asks you to pay money, they are not reputable? we have had lots of model agency is getting in touch. i have never met a legitimate model platform. there is in sucha legitimate model platform. there is in such a thing. model agencies would not ask for money? then we had

to pay £50 just to be there and sit ona chairand to pay £50 just to be there and sit on a chair and weight. forfalse information. thank you so much for coming in and i appreciate your honesty, i know it is not the most easy thing to talk about. there are other companies operating with names similar to london fashion models, studio works, which are not connected to them. as new rules are introduced to avoid collisions between drones and planes we'll talk to experts about whether the skies will be made safer. and ahead of tonight's love island final we'll talk to former contestants about why the itv2 show has become so popular. time for the latest news here's julian worricker. most of the train services withdrawn by northern rail last month are being reinstated this morning. it scrapped 168 services per day last month to try to relieve the chaos caused by the timetable's

election since robert mugabe was forced out of office. mr mugabe was ousted last year after almost four decades in power. our correspondent nomsa maseko is in the zimbabwean capital harare. tell us, voting is under way, presumably large crowds? indeed, we are expecting an announcement from the electoral commission of zimbabwe to tell us in just over an hour how many people in terms of turnout, how many people in terms of turnout, how many people in terms of turnout, how many people have turned out. they are expecting a lot of people to go out and vote, just over 5 million zimbabweans have registered to vote and polling stations opened just overfour and polling stations opened just over four hours and polling stations opened just overfour hours ago. and polling stations opened just over four hours ago. they will be closing at 7pm local time. counting of the votes expect it to start immediately afterwards. tell us to

the main candidates are and whether this is expected to be a free and fair election. first the fact this isa fair election. first the fact this is a different election, the most anticipated election since post—independence. the first time in 16 years international observers have tea m 16 years international observers have team allowed into the country to monitor the election. robert mugabe predecessor has opened doors for the international community to come and have a look and monitor these elections. he is one of the top contenders who wants to legitimise his rule following the military coup that to place here and we have the movement for democratic change who says he thinks of his body doesn't win the election, he has described it as fictitious, but

the electoral commission has dismissed that and said the election will be free, fair and ink and credible. it's also worth pointing out there are huge challenges in this country, economically, i levels of unemployment and a furry young population. indeed, a very young population. indeed, a very young population. the opposition party leader, 40 years old, the youngest presidential candidate here. he is furry popular amongst young voters, particularly in urban areas and if you look at the rural voters, 70% of them based in the rural heartlands and they are seen to be supporting zanu pf and its seemed to be whoever winds this election will bring the country back and take it forward in

terms ofjob creation, especially for young people and fixing the battered economy that crumbled under the leadership of former president robert mugabe. some people will find it bizarre that robert mugabe, the former resident who founded zanu pf almost back the opposition yesterday, explained what happened. it was quite a bizarre press conference which lasted for about two hours at robert mugabe is mansion under very heavy guard. his private security was there. a large media contingent. he sounded quite bitter, angry and not over the fact he is no longer in the position of power in this country and even going as far as saying he will not vote for us and it here which is a party he co—founded and even went as far as endorsing the opposition and said

he will not vote for people who commended him but would rather vote for the opposition. thank you ever so much for bringing us that update. do you own a drone? the technology has become hugely popular with the industry projected to be worth £42 billion by 2030. but there are rising safety concerns. last year a drone flew dangerously near to an aircraft 93 times in uk airspace. that's up from just six in 2014. this has led the introduction of new laws which come into force today which mean the devices can no longer be flown within a kilometre of the edge ofan airport, or above 400 feet in the air. and from november next year all drone pilots will have to do an online safety course and owners of drones weighing more than 250g will have to register. the government is considering further restrictions including an age limit on who can own drones. let's speak to dr rob hunter from the british airline pilots' association who is a former commercial pilot, jonathan

nicholson, the deputy director of the civil aviation authority and a drone pilot. gareth corfield a journalist that write about drones at the register. a couple of other people were supposed to be able to join us. firstly, jonathan, how much of a threat are drones to any kind of pilot? we have the safest skies in the uk, really fantastic aviation system, we need to keep that said, flying drones close to an aircraft is unacceptable. we did people to follow the code, they can pose a risk, no doubt, but we also need to make sure all the good things drones can do it they can achieve as well. gareth, do you think they are a threat. i do, especially people who

live in getting thrill seeking videos, that kind of thing i think is bang out of order but there is a large amount to be said for responsible drone flights and people who want to have fun with a piece of equipment in their back garden. these new rules coming in, no higher than 100 feet, is that sufficient. the government reviews the rules all the time, there is a new consultation looking at more powers for police and extending the rules. absolutely, there are rules already, there have some time, they are kept under review to make sure they are right and people need to follow the genome code and then they should be safe. do you agree? broadly, it's important to follow the rules, and the government is doing some good things in that regard but i think one column at boundary around the airport is strange. if anything it's airport is strange. if anything it's a blanket limit, it doesn't take

into account the shape of an airport, how flights are operated. if anything i think they should make it into a rectangle and extend it further, maybe you fly next to an airport within a certain distance but look at the take—off and landing pads. what are the regulations, if i wa nt to pads. what are the regulations, if i want to buy a joint can i walk in and buy it and no one knows i have that, do i need to understand the rules ? that, do i need to understand the rules? —— want to walk in to buy a drone. can kids by them? we need to be sure we don't stop tomorrow's pilots and employees, there could be 600,000 people working in the truman industry, the uk die at 14 was the youngest drone racer. someone

responsible needs to look after them. it's not about an age limit on flying, it's an age limit on owning the drone, you could have someone older owning a drone, looking after someone younger flying it. is it safe for children to fly them?” think so. a lot of people in the community will be looking at the age of 18, what if we want to buy a drone for my children, get back to a younger relative, who is 16 or 17? lots of people will be dry to compare that to a driving licence which you can hold at the age of 17 ora which you can hold at the age of 17 or a glider pilot, can hold a licence from fort team. a lot of people will question that and say what is the intent, is it really what is the intent, is it really what the government is saying it will be will be see something creeping in later? we have seen viral videos, people losing control of drones, coming down and crashing,

kids in control of something that is happy that could come down and crashed, is it safe? ithink happy that could come down and crashed, is it safe? i think they have moved on a lot. but some are really happy? there is a limit to what people can do, lots of them have built—in tech knowledge you to stop you doing things wrong with them. you have geo— fencing is you can them. you have geo— fencing is you ca n fly them. you have geo— fencing is you can fly near airfields. you have a return to home function. trump technology is another way we can make it safer. thanks for coming in. —— drone technology. tonight we will find out which couple will be the winners of this year's love island — bagging a cheque for £50,000 in the process. after an eight week stint of cracking on, pieing off — which means being dumped, basically — and being whisked off to the hideaway the season will culminate in an extra long final episode on itv2. the series has not been without its controversy — there have been criticisms of the "aftercare" process for co ntesta nts, com pla i nts to o fcom about the way contestants are emotionally manipulated, and its has been criticised for a lack of diversity.

most recently there were allegations that the show has a secret cheat‘ production manual that details how they would manipulate votes. bosses adamantly deny the show is fixed — and it's certainly been a hit with viewers pulling in over two million a night and generating a surge in itv‘s advertising revenues. here is some of the action from last night's penultimate episode. i honestly didn't expect to be here in the final week. i think so many people doubted us, in the villa, outside. i think we can the underdogs but the last two weeks we've shown everyone how much we mean to each other. you have changed my outlook on girls and relationships, i cannot wait to see you on the outside. get rid of some of the stupid stuff. so excited about the future. going to be we are

going back to work, god knows what will happen. you should definitely go back to work. we have a love island loving, couple with sophie gradon, who died in june. joining us now is series two contestant katie salmon — who was part of the show‘s first and only same sex loving, couple with sophie gradon, who died in june. we also have series three contestant tyla carr, and one of this year's contestants alex miller. alex, as each series goes on we get to know about what is expected, what did you think? was completely different, such a closed environment, no communication with anyone. it's very intense and i didn't realise it will be that intense with older people in there, living with up to about 20 people,

it was intense. did you forget you we re it was intense. did you forget you were on telly? yes. did you forget? yes. they want you to do that. everything is heading, you can see anything, you are hidden, you enjoy it and you forget. we want to talk about some of the controversies and about some of the controversies and afun and about some of the controversies and a fun and who is likely to win. there was some reports that the programme is fixed, this is something that has been completely disputed by the producers, was reported yesterday. how much of what we see on screen is a reality of what is going on in the villa, alex? ican what is going on in the villa, alex? i can only speak for the series, having been in previous series but not think descriptive, they don't manipulate us to do anything you don't want to do it. if you don't wa nt to don't want to do it. if you don't want to talk to someone you don't have to but because you are in an environment for everyone is they are 20 47, you need to make sure

everything and everyone is ok, get those conversations out of the way and it's in your own hands. he is right, i completely agree but they ask you to have chats with certain people, in my series they did, it wasn't like they said you have to say this, it's for the show, at the end of the day it's a tv series and ifi end of the day it's a tv series and if i had three different conversations with three different people they need to rounded up into one conversation. they say can you go and talk to so—and—so and have a chat about everything that you've spoken about today with one person? but they don't make you do anything that you don't want to do or say anything you don't want to say, they've never ever had an input on what you have to say. again, i think the same, there's 24—hour in a day and one hour of the show being filmed, they will pick the best and most entertaining hour and cram it into an hour that is entertaining

for people to watch, in that sense you have to have certain conversations with people but my series, they never told me what to say a pygmy in an uncomfortable position for and needed to do something or say something and they we re something or say something and they were supportive when we were on the show. you were part of the first and only same—sex coupling in love island. for you, what was that like? in the villa it was very breathtaking and furry hard at first because it was very different. and i had to come in and go with my own feelings at the time, what i felt and it was hard to adjust the cause you were thinking for people thinking at home, people will be judging me, this isn't the norm of the show, men and women go on and find love but then it got easier and harder when she left, it was like a whirlwind. it was good, bad,

emotional, happy. one of the criticisms is the lack of diversity. in the programme generally, lots of white people, as you say, you're the first and only same—sex coupling, you think that's a fair criticism? personally i can agree, there needs to be more variety of people on the show. as the years get all they are going for a more specific look, i rememberall our going for a more specific look, i remember all our series, going for a more specific look, i rememberall our series, we going for a more specific look, i remember all our series, we would not wear a full face of make up but this year, all the girls are consta ntly this year, all the girls are constantly stunning and i'm thinking, how can you get up on that heat and for that make up one and let that beautiful. i remember feeling ashamed because i didn't look that glamorous. just looking normal, it's fine! we all looked like that. we need bridie of different skin tones. and obviously be to you are. people out there of

both sexes, put them in. alex, fair criticism? i thought the series had quite a lot of bratty they need to cast it as his character will bounce off who? they need to have a character building for its going to make a tv show at the end of the day, they can put 12 boring people in and go drag on for eight weeks. they need characters that are going to bounce off one another. one of the criticisms has been the after—care, katie, to talk to you about what happened with sophie who died just back in june. about what happened with sophie who died just back injune. do you think there was enough after—care for you when you came out? it's hard to say because no one expected our series, i feel i could kick off then and that's when everyone started seeing for the show could give you. i think we didn't expect how big it will be so we came out and we had a couple

of chats but then nobody ever followed of chats but then nobody ever followe d u p of chats but then nobody ever followed up personally until the death unfortunately of sophie and thenl death unfortunately of sophie and then i got a call to check if everything was ok and i needed to speak to someone, there would always be someone there but it would have been nice with all the bombardment of fame and everything that comes with that from the show, to have someone who says this is how you should act but they have been good since obese passing and they've helped me get over it and try and come to terms with that. what about you? i think the same, they give you a number if you need to speak to someone, there is a psychologist on the show at all times watching over you and that someone who checks you are well enough mentally to go in in the beginning. we are given someone to talk to if you need to. i think it's difficult because how do they don't if there is something wrong unless you contact them and it's not something they can force upon you
