we will look at the uk weather later but these are the temperatures we're looking at now, how unprecedented are they? could be record-breaking to be honest, naga, unbelievable heat across siberia over the next few days. temperatures close to 47 oi’ few days. temperatures close to 47 or48, mainly in few days. temperatures close to 47 or 48, mainly in central and southern parts of portugal and into the south—west of spain —— iberia. they will build today and tomorrow and there is potentialfor the records to be broken. let's put some perspective on the heat, we've got the current spanish record at around 47.3, a bit higher in portugal but to beat the european record, and it is possible through this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, 48 degrees and tomorrow afternoon, 48 degrees and this is a record right across europe. this will put us on scale with the phenomenal heatwave we saw across parts of western europe in 2003. the reason is we dragged our

air in off from parts of africa during the last few days, now we've gotan area during the last few days, now we've got an area of high pressure in charge of the head and we've got a blazing blue skies overhead, very dry ground over —— underneath. very high temperatures in this part of the world over the next few days —— we've got blazing blue skies. we will speak to you later, matt. puts it into perspective what we've had over the last few weeks. the president of zimbabwe, emmerson mnangagwa, has been declared the winner of the country's general election. he called it a new beginning, but the opposition party has rejected the result. the announcement follows days of deadly violence and allegations of vote rigging, as our reporter, andrew plant, has been finding out. cheering celebrations on the streets of zimbabwe after the country's controversial presidential election. zimbabwe's president, emmerson mnangagwa, a 75—year—old politician

nicknamed the crocodile due to his shrewd, some say ruthless, political manoeuvring, winning zimba bwe's first election since the end of robert mugabe's rule in november last year. in the days before the announcement, delays and confusion boiled over into protests with security forces using tear gas and water cannon and then opening fire with live rounds. six people died in wednesday's violence, with dozens more injured. opposition supporters immediately said they suspected a rigged election, claiming they hadn't been allowed to verify the votes. we reject the results because the results have yet to be verified by the chief election officers of the candidates. zimbabwe saw decades of rule by robert mugabe, under whom the country's economy imploded and poverty became everyday life for many. mnangagwa was a close ally of

mugabe and now he's his successor. international observers and voters alike will hope he can now begin to fix a country with deep political divisions and widespread social and economic problems. andrew plant, bbc news. the new head of the armed forces has said he will not allow a witch—hunt of veterans over their roles during the troubles in northern ireland. in his first interview since becoming chief of defence staff, general sir nicholas carter said that it was right that serving and former personnel were held to account for wrong—doing, but he would fight moves to prosecute soldiers. it is right and proper that if our soldiers have done something wrong then they should clearly be investigated and held to account for it, but only if they've generally done something wrong because we need to have some standards, we need to have values that people are held against, otherwise we would lose the moral high ground. what is fundamentally wrong, though, is if they're chased by people making vexatious claims, and that will not

happen on my watch, absolutely not. two men are being treated in hospital after they were stabbed outside glasgow rangers' ibrox stadium last night. fans clashed ahead of the europa league match with croatian side osijek. the two men, aged 24 and 40, are in a stable condition. police scotland have appealed for witnesses. theresa may will interrupt her holiday this afternoon to hold talks with the french president emmanuel macron about the brexit negotiations. she'll travel to his island retreat in the south of france where it's expected she'll urge the president to soften his stance ahead of a crucial summit of eu leaders in salzburg next month. regular exposure to even low levels of air pollution may affect the heart to such an extent that it would be similar to the early stages of heart failure. according to a study for the british heart foundation, the changes were comparable to being consistently inactive or having raised blood pressure. britain's biggest foodbank charity has called for extra

donations to ensure children get free school meals during term time don't go hungry during the school holidays. the trussell trust says last year thousands more emergency food packs were provided during the summer months. last week, the government announced a £2 million fund in england to provide some poorer children with healthy meals during the holidays. the winners of a £58 million lottery jackpot had their ticket ripped up by mistake when they asked a shop assistant to check it. can you imagine? fred and lesley higgins, from laurencekirk in aberdeenshire, matched all the numbers in the euromillions draw. they took the ticket to a shop to check and the assistant initially said it was not a winner, ripped up the ticket and threw it away! then the computer said yes! when the machine then told them to contact camelot, it was quickly retrieved from the bin. the couple say they're planning to use some of their winnings to buy

a second home in barbados. and why not? they have £58 million. they look like they can't quite believe it. well done to them. mike is here. good morning. good morning, someone mike is here. good morning. good morning, someone else who can't quite believe it, the island hockey tea m quite believe it, the island hockey team behind you, amazing scenes, the second lowest team ranked in the world cup, 16th in the world —— ireland. be knocked out india in one of those dramatic shootout is —— they knocked out. ireland are pinching themselves after reaching their first semi—final at the hockey world cup. they beat india in a shoot—out and go on to face spain tomorrow. but there was despair for england, who were beaten by the defending champions, the netherlands. that was 2—0. captain virat kohli kept india in the first test against england at edgbaston, they were in trouble when he scored 149 to leave the match finely poised. burnley‘s european dream is still alive after they scored twice in extra time to beat aberdeen and to make it into the next round of the europa

league qualifiers. they now face istanbul basaksehir. and britain's georgia hall is in contention after day one of the women's british open. she's just two shots off the lead after a superb opening round of 67 at royal lytham. ina in a moment in the papers, lack of sleep for some sporting legends is very much the theme. always the theme for us on breakfast! map will be no stranger to that either, he's looking at the weather —— matt. you know what, matt, the other thing was, was it us talking about how it is duvet on, duvet of, or was it steph? that was me! i would like to know who it was! —— duvet off. steph? that was me! i would like to know who it was! -- duvet off. mike, you were here, is it on all of, i like to have it on. my top duvet story, tony from 5 live, he has a fan near the bed that wafts

underneath the duvet, all night long it is leather —— levitating. that is either genius or very uncomfortable. last night i was battling with duvet on, duvet off for the first time this year because it feels like it's getting hotter. i was as well and it was very humid last night, temperature—wise even for glasgow in the north didn't drop below 20, closer to 20 in central england —— below 17. very hot in central and southern parts today. mostly dry, if you are humid, and a few refreshing showers around and a few refreshing showers around and a few heavy ones as well. courtesy of this cold front straddling from north—west wales to northern england, clipping south—west scotland, along this line we will see at times heavy rain developing through the morning, just sliding across. a narrow band, either side will be dry, we could see some

thunder on that. in the north—west, showers in north—west scotland, they will go east during the day and in the south, dry with mist and fog patches, dry all day long. lots of sunshine in southern counties. rev wind sea breezes, the best place to go if you hate the heat, 30 in london not out of the realms of possibility —— refreshing sea breezes. showery in yorkshire, lancashire. brightening up to the far north of england, far south of scotla nd far north of england, far south of scotland and northern ireland but with a few showers. heavy showers in the north—east of scotland but that means it won't be as warm as yesterday, down a couple of degrees, but warm enough with the sun out. tonight most showers will depart, dry for most of the country, clear skies and light winds and mist and fog to start your weekend. here you go again, another humid night in parts of england and wales. fresher in scotland and northern ireland, may be the case of putting the duvet on because single figures for some

in the countryside. overall tomorrow, a dry day, a few isolated showers in the north and west can't be ruled out but the vast majority will be dry, sunny spells with some cloud in the day. the sunniest the further south you are. compare it to today, the temperatures will be down a bit, maybe more in the north of northern ireland, the teams instead of the low twenties. high pressure keeps us dry, staying into saturday and sunday with this weather front clipping into the far north of scotland. rain it in orkney and shetland, a few spots of bristol in western parts of scotland —— rain in. especially the highlands and the hebrides. a try weekend for the vast majority. the sunniest the further south you are —— a dry weekend. up into the high 20s, maybe low 30s for one or two. it looks like across england and wales, the very warm conditions, if not hot conditions, will continue into the start of next week. that's how it's looking, i'll

have more through the morning. back to you both. thanks, matt. that duvet debate has gone on to how you say the word duvet. that duvet debate has gone on to how you say the word duvetlj that duvet debate has gone on to how you say the word duvet. i am probably wrong. never back down. what do you say? i say it differently. let's have a look at the papers. my demand still says pitsa rather than pizza —— my mum still says. we've had horrible hot weather going on in europe, that heat wave that's coming in. some countries, some people across europe are being warned about how to deal with these soaring temperatures in slightly unusual ways this morning. police in zurich are encouraging dog owners to buy shoes for their four legged friends to protect their paws. for anyone who walks on hot sand. in norway, the public roads administration has

urged drivers to watch out for reindeer and sheep trying to cool down by sheltering in tunnels. and it's bad news if you're on holiday in germany. the long, hot summer has put a strain on german breweries, who have sold so much beer that there is now a bottle shortage. maybe you will have to drink it from the barrel instead. you animal! all of this links quite nicely, you said you are going to talk about a lack of sleep. it adds to the problems. and frank lampard, it is the championship starting tonight and so frank lampard is the new manager of derby, he says it is mad. 24 hours a day, sucks you in, but he loves the competitive side of it. he has been speaking to steven gerrard at rangers making his debut and his uncle, harry redknapp. i wonder if

he is under his duvet at this moment. why do you put your teeth back in? will go through the front pages. —— we will go. the guardian's front page has the story we've been discussing this morning about air pollution being linked to early symptoms of heart failure. the daily mail says amazon is killing britain's high street while halving the amount of corporation tax it's paid. the telegraph front page features comments made by the chief of the defence staff sir nick carter about veterans who served in the northern ireland troubles. he says he'll protect them from what he calls ‘vexatious claims.‘ and on the financial times, it's the story about apple becoming the first trillion pound company.

one of the most read stories on the bbc news website this morning is a warning to tourists about using mopeds or quad bikes abroad, after a series of accidents and deaths. the association of british travel agents says holidaymakers should only use them as part of organised tours. and this is one of the stories trending on twitter this morning. it's the news that grenfell tower is no longer a crime scene after police completed their forensic examination of the site. i suppose the question will be what will happen next at grenfell tower. mike, you had more to talk about. yes, frank lampard's first game at derby. laura kenny would be getting a lot of sleep, competing at the european championships, cycling and discerning taking centre stage.

talking to rebecca adlington at 730 about this. laura kenny, she has her baby who is nearly one—year—old. she says she doesn't get much sleep but is hoping to get another gold again in the team pursuit. she got a silver on her comeback in march but it is gold that she wants again, having won for mike olympic golds. it is not as easy when you have a little becky —— little baby waking you up. i was thinking that the questions. some of the gets annoyed when we ask mothers about the mothers and we don't ask men at our being dad ‘s. but rebecca adlington has been vocal about saying how it affected her competitive edge and that, i think, affected her competitive edge and that, ithink, would be quite interesting to see. she felt much more that her priorities have shifted and she became much more relaxed about competing once she had

had the baby. there is also the fact that the women has gone through the process and that physical impact. and we have spoken about serena williams, a fantastic comeback at wimbledon, making the finals are short time after giving birth. it is a topic. any petty -- any parent can relate to it, even if you are not a professional athlete you get much more scared of things. you are much more scared of things. you are much more conscious about risks to yourself. so that is for you? your children can go off and do it? well, there is a pc in the times saying that eight —year—olds shouldn't crossroads unsupervised. this is taking a look at how much recklessness or how many risks should be allowed to take. recklessness or how many risks should be allowed to takem recklessness or how many risks should be allowed to take. it is basically saying that they are not taking enough and they should be allowed to do more, but then we are

talking about kids and smartphones and it is, do you let them take risks? if kids are eating chocolate and if they are buying smarties during the holidays, this is good to them. not so smarties. apparently there is a question in there at the moment which says at the moment what has six legs and lives under the sea, they said octopus. not so smart. anything else? no, i'm sorry. quite a big one, quite an obvious one. that used to be one of my favourite things. they used to have

a letter on them. do you remember? selfies, do you take many?“ a letter on them. do you remember? selfies, do you take many? ifi am on location filming, i put it up on twitter. do you make sure you look amazing? it comes naturally, does it? what they are saying is, there isa it? what they are saying is, there is a serious piece, people who love selfies are having cosmetic surgery to look like their perfectly filtered online photo. they say people are being effected and being a —— depressed because their natural doesn't measure up to the airbrushed. as someone who doesn't airbrush, what would you say? selfies has to be warts and all. that is the point. it isn't taken by someone that is the point. it isn't taken by someone else, it is just you, there, in that moment. but with everything

you get on phones now... for now, thank you very much indeed. in 2017, uk companies sent more of their goods and services to the rest of the world than they did to the eu, a trend that's continued for the ninth year running. ben is at the brompton bicycle factory in west london for us this morning where they export to over 40 countries. very topical when it comes to brexit and the interest rate decision yesterday, so much to talk about. morning to you. welcome. you will see some of the guys here turning the parts into the bikes that they sell right around the world. you are right, so much of them to content with right now. lot of talks between trade wars and us and europe and of course, those big questions over brexit trade deals, whether we will have any, will still be able to sell overseas? let's talk to the boss

this morning. you sell these things right around the world, just moved into a america, exports is a big bit of your business, crucially notjust to europe. we are exporting about 80% to 44 countries around the world and europe is about 35% of that, but then asia is about 35% as well. and europe is about 35% of that, but then asia is about 3596 as well. all over the world. have his side where you will sell these things to? talk a lot about trade wars and whether we have deals in place but in some cases that doesn't really matter. you find a market and use up there. we are selling injapan, south korea, we are selling their because people live in dense cities, they don't have much space and want to have fun and our bike is perfect. ok we have a great free—trade deal with south korea, but what matters is the customer. if they want it, we will get it there. if we wanted deal with import duty and paperwork, so be it.

if the customer wants it we will get their. lot of business people worried about whether we will have trade deals after brexit, does that configuring your concerns or are you just about finding people to buy the bike and selling it? it matters. public at the worst case scenario. that is going into europe, wto at 10%, the exchange rate has shifted by 15% and it is not the end of the world. what matters to me is finding good distributors, cracking great products and having staff fired up, those things that i can control mean more to me as to whether we end up with a 6— 10% import duty into europe. leslie is from the institute of export. we are talking about businesses and these boxes being sent off. that is really important, asa sent off. that is really important, as a country we need to sell things are broad. absolutely. we are in poor sting —— importing a vast amount, we have deficits are more

exports are better. when we talk of the importance of exports, what are we good at? we are good at chemicals, drugs, pharmaceuticals, engineering. a lot of the very technical products. thanks very much, talk more a little later. i will show you around. it is fascinating. all of the stuff being sold around the world, plenty of stuff they are exporting and issues but exports now, selling more outside europe then we are inside for the ninth consecutive year. thank you very much, see you later. charlie's at the edinburgh festival this morning where over four million people are expected to visit this month. what have you got in store for us charlie? sings folk song. yes. a lovely little blast. thank

fighting to constantly compete and do well and looking for funding, promotions, contracts, whatever it is you are looking for, that can be really intense. so if you do have someone really intense. so if you do have someone that is outside the sport who has maybe been inside that environment and done it before and gone through things and has techniques how they get through it, it is really, really valuable. more than 20,000 free meals will be given to children in tower hamlets in an effort to reduce holiday hunger. a third of children living in the area are entitled to free school meals. children taking part in council funded summer activities will benefit from the scheme. let's have a look at the travel situation now. all at the travel situation now. good on the tube so fai morning. turning to the roads. the m25 starting to get busy in both directions atjunction 14 for heathrow.

are reacting, what can we expect to see happening on the streets today? we've seen violence over the last few days even before the results we re few days even before the results were declared. indeed, we saw scenes of violence which led to the deaths of six people here in harare, and it seems like people are waking up to what has happened overnight with the governing zanu—pf party legitimising their rule following that military coup. we i expecting the situation to go back to normal before the protests started because a lot of people are beginning to say that even though they don't accept the outcome, they will not risk their lives for any politician —— we i expecting. nomsa maseko in harare this morning, thank you forjoining us —— we are expecting. the new head of the armed forces has said he will not allow a witch hunt of veterans over their roles during the 30 years of troubles in northern ireland. in his first

interview since becoming chief of defence staff, general sir nicholas carter said that it was right that serving and former personnel were held to account for wrong—doing, but he would fight moves to prosecute soldiers. it is right and proper that if our soldiers have done something wrong then they should clearly be investigated and held to account for it, but only if they've generally done something wrong because we need to have some standards, we need to have values that people are held against, otherwise we would lose the moral high ground. what is fundamentally wrong, though, is if they're chased by people making vexatious claims, and that will not happen on my watch, absolutely not. two men are being treated in hospital after they were stabbed outside glasgow rangers' ibrox stadium last night. fans clashed ahead of the europa league match with croatian side osijeka. the two men, aged 24 and 40, are in a stable condition. police scotland have appealed for witnesses. theresa may will interrupt her holiday to italy this afternoon to hold talks with the french president emmanuel macron about the brexit negotiations.

seconds to shuffle and beat the goalkeeper and then shoot. a bit of a righty on the old penalties. the ireland coach has saying to anyone that plays sport at home, this is proof if you dedicate yourself then dreams can come true, they are living proof of what you can achieve. they are the second lowest tea m ra nked can achieve. they are the second lowest team ranked in the tournament, 16th in the world, they have defied the odds to reach the semifinals. the ireland coach said his side was incredible after they reached the semi—finals of the hockey world cup for the first time. they produced another surprise victory, beating india in a shoot—out. remember, ireland entered the tournament as the second—lowest ranked side. they take on spain tomorrow. who would have thought, i said the other weekend it's like christmas has come. no one would have picked us has come. no one would have picked us to be here. we didn't exactly think ourselves we were going to get here, we had goals to get out of the group and get to the crossover but we skipped bad and straight to the quarter—final and here we are in the

semis. emotions are unbelievable at the minute, it's incredible. what a contrast to england's fate, they're ranked second in the world and had eight olympic champions in the side, but they were beaten 2—0 by the netherlands. the dutch are the defending champions though, and they'll play australia for a place in the final. england's first test against india is finely balanced after a second day full of twists and turns. sam curran put england on top with some brilliant bowling. but with india in trouble, england missed chances to remove captain virat kohli, and he went on to score 149 and keep his side in the game. alistair cook was bowled with the last ball of the day, so england resume on 9—1, that's a lead of 22. think we challenge them as much as we could. we stuck to our plans, which i thought were pretty good, on another day those catches would be taken and another day those catches would be ta ken and obviously another day those catches would be taken and obviously we've got to look forward and be positive that we are still ahead of them in the game

i’u ns are still ahead of them in the game runs wise and hopefully bat big tomorrow and challenge them. burnley‘s first european tie for more than half a century ended with victory over aberdeen in the europa league qualifiers. burnley went ahead in the second leg, but 18—year—old lewis ferguson scored a brilliant equaliser, that's his first goal for aberdeen. but in extra time, a goal from jack cork and a late penalty gave the premier league side a 4—2 win. rangers, hibernian and welsh champions new saints are all through to the next round as well. england's georgia hall said she couldn't ask for more after an opening round of 67 at the women's british open, the fourth major of the season. she made five birdies and didn't drop a single shot, and she said she was extremely happy to do that at royal lytham. hall is two shots behind minjee lee of australia. laura kenny's bid for three golds got off to a good start on day one of the european championships in glasgow. she and the rest of great britian's team pursuit quartet set the fastest time in qualifying. they'll face france this afternoon for a place in the final. there's coverage of the championships in glasgow

6:45am. holidaymakers have been revelling in balmy temperatures across europe this week, but now authorities are warning that the all—time european record could be broken in the coming days. the current record of 48 degrees celsius was set in athens, greece in 1977. cyra alcock is a tour guide in seville where temperatures are already higher than usual for this time of year. she joins us now on skype. thank you for talking to us on brea kfast thank you for talking to us on breakfast this morning. i suppose it's fair to say that the brits are generally quite happy to talk about the weather, how are people viewing these record... or potential record temperatures where you are? yeah, the funny thing is the spanish are also quite happy to talk about the weather. it's definitely the topic of conversation here at the moment, although we are quite used to warm

temperatures here in spain, but the same conversations do happen every year. are people concerned? concerned? no, iwouldn't year. are people concerned? concerned? no, i wouldn't say concerned. we're quite used to having these heatwave is here. it is hotter than usual and it has come quite suddenly this year. but concerned? no, we know it will pass eventually. we need to make clear, europe's weather warning group, metialarm, have issued red weather warnings, and there's warnings about everyday life. as a tour guide, some of the tours have been affected as well? yeah, we're quite used to having a lower number of bookings at this time of year as people obviously know it gets really warm, unexpectedly so here injuly and august. we don't run daytime tours at this time of year, it's just too hot. so... but our evening tours run

as normal, we try and stay as much in the air—conditioned bars or air—conditioned anywhere and walk in the shade. what advice have people been given generally? tourists, but, you know what it's like, expecting hot weather and enjoying the hot weather because normally it's not so great at this time of year, or a bit more mixed, and they don't always have their sensible heads on? so the best advice for people coming to spain is do as the locals do, you'll see at this time of year between around 2pm and eight there's no one on the streets. people generally will get up earlier and do what they need to do in the morning and then stay through the inside hottest part of the day, then come out in the evening. so it's really a case of following the locals' example in that respect and people should be fine as long as they drink lots of water and be in the shade where possible and they wear sunscreen. all the obvious things, but often it

is so easy to forget. we've been talking about potential beer shortages, pet owners being told to put shoes or booties on their dogs when they take them for walks. what other things i use seeing that is affecting everyday life? other things i use seeing that is affecting everyday life ?|j other things i use seeing that is affecting everyday life? i suppose not too many —— ruc in. here we're prepared for the hot weather —— are you seeing. you'll notice when you go out to the bars, they all have outdoor terraces where people will sit and have a beer. many in the city are set up with sprinkler systems that spray a constant missed of the people if people are outside. in the city centre, when the summer arrives, the local council puts up shade cloth, so if you're walking around your always kept in the shade —— mist. we know in spain it's going to get hot, so the local councils do prepare for that in advance. cyra alcock, thanks for talking to us cyra alcock, thanks for talking to us to give us an insight into what's

happening in seville and please keep cool! thank you. thank you, bye-bye. easier said than done. i felt hot watching those people with their fans. i couldn't even imagine 40 degrees at the moment here, it would be too hot and humid. do as the locals do, or, as we say here, do as matt tells us to! we say that a lot. you're learning quickly! bye for now. phenomenal heat over the next few days, record temperatures in spain and portugal, around 47 degrees that could easily be broken. 48 is the european records and that puts it on par with peak heat in the middle east. it the next couple of days we will have to watch. you'll be over the past few days, warm air from africa and stagnating. we have had the heatwave across france, finland had their hottest july the heatwave across france, finland had their hottestjuly on record and hot here and another one today across southern parts of the country where we can seek to bridges again into the low 30s. —— temperatures. a

few refreshing shower was further north but this morning very humid start. temperatures in their teens to begin the day. we have a weather front, a weak one across scotland, northern england into the irish sea but this could react later. particularly northumbria, kumble and we could see heavy rain developed for a we could see heavy rain developed fora time, we could see heavy rain developed for a time, rumbles of under too. showers in north—west scotland will tra nsfer eastwards. showers in north—west scotland will transfer eastwards. areas will try this morning, a few patchy fog in the south, afternoon blue sky, dries out the further south. inland, temperatures may be 31 or 33 degrees as the more clout across the midland competitor yesterday, the chance of the few showers. brightening up in the few showers. brightening up in the far north of england. a few showers to come in but fairly light. by showers to come in but fairly light. by the afternoon, showers across

north—east scotland could be on the countryside and that means not quite as hot as it was yesterday. pretty warm when the sun is out. tonight, a little bit more fresh tonight, temperatures into single figures in the countryside. 17 today in glasgow, probably 12 tomorrow whereas further south and other humid and muggy night. for tomorrow, lots of sunshine across england and wales. a sunny day compared to today. patchy around the coast and cloud —— cloud increasing across scotla nd cloud —— cloud increasing across scotland and northern ireland. most places staying dry, a few showers into the north of scotland, to bridges in the mid teens. slightly cooler day for the far north of england but in the far south still with temperatures close to 30 degrees. —— temperatures. high temperatures remain in charge, into sunday, if you have any holiday plans it is looking good. a few

showers and later on across shetland, a drier majority. further south into england and wales that you are to bridges could lift again compete with saturday's values. much more comfortable across parts of scotla nd more comfortable across parts of scotland and northern ireland. that hot weather continues into the start of next week. a sign from midweek next week onwards a sign that things could get more bearable. all of this good weather, you wouldn't it would mean that you see more. we are out more, but the good weather is bringing more mosques and that's love moths. you are going to learn so much. what i know is that adrian campbell has

been to see a unique project in dorset. chris deak from the dorset bat group is setting an unusual group. it is almost invisible to bats. a special device weighs out bat calls to lure them in, normally we wouldn't hear them, but another hachette interprets the sound for our years. chris is especially licensed to handle these tiny mammals and with the help of volunteers, he is hoping that after dusk he can be able to identify and then carefully released his latest catch. if i am a bat and iam his latest catch. if i am a bat and i am flying around, we can put an acoustic load in, they will come to investigate and hopefully not see our wines, fly into that and tumble down here and into the bag and then all we do is we come along, scoop

them out and taken back base camp for processing. this is a very rare woodland species. there are 18 types of bat in britain and golden pack is already known to 12 different species. so this is this year's young, which may indicate there is a breeding colony around here. so it has just got really exciting. we have seen two and now three more bats have arrived and we are just about to have a look at them. the bats are painstakingly identified as the experts try to help improve their chances here. gemma barron from the national trust works with volu nteers from the national trust works with volunteers and tenants to promote

the best conditions for the bats. they are used the habitats, the grasslands, the woodlands for foraging and navigating around the landscape. and the trees are important? yes, really important for them. they can navigate along here, it is also a foraging ground. and it connects up to the head roads, which then travel through the landscape. bats are in decline, caused in part because we had damaged their habitats. but these amazing creatures can live for 20, maybe 30 yea rs creatures can live for 20, maybe 30 years or more. adrian campbell, bbc news, golden cap, dorset. so now we know. edinburgh is playing host to a number of festivals this month from the famous fringe to the tattoo. there are always ways of getting involved. i want to see charlie

getting involved in this. good morning. let's see this! let me just explained. in the last few minutes there has been a bit of moisture. this is universal circus, they were frantic about trying things about whether or not they would be able to perform. i will step aside because i am in the danger zone. if i stepped out of the way, we will watch a bit of what they do. universal circus, getting ready, 12 performers in all, trained at the mongolian circus school and as you will see in a moment, they jump sometimes school and as you will see in a moment, theyjump sometimes up to nine metres in the air. we are all 0k to nine metres in the air. we are all ok to go now, i think. we willjust watch, give it a moment. now, we were a little bit worried about the conditions and i think they will do another job for us there. these guys have only ever be formed in america before, this is

the first time outside of america. have got a world champion in amongst it. it is called a teeter board. i think we are going to see one more john peers. they go wait above. —— one more jump here. john peers. they go wait above. —— one morejump here. takeaway a above the roof, so they had to move the board to one side. there we go. and to just answer john's question, health and safety will not allow me to take parts. gym to have is with me, one of the performers at the vestry —— festival. you are here doing a comedy act. tells little bit about it. will basically, i had a reasonable career in the uk and then i was reasonable career in the uk and then iwas in reasonable career in the uk and then i was in harry potter and i used to do an act with a double bass and

then i went to america and had a career there, a character actor. and everything was going fine, even bought a house there. i was settled and then everything stopped suddenly when i had this catastrophic car accident. it happen in the hills of los angeles and i can't believe i am still alive. just an idea. the first thing was my neck broke, within one millilitre from the spinal cord but that turned out to be fine. then they said you have got 25 fractures in yourleg. they said you have got 25 fractures in your leg. then they said, these are not the worst of your injuries, your hand has come off. so they effectively reattached by hand that was hanging on by his skin. is gross to say. at first they said i would have no movement, they said i would have no movement, they said i would have a hand like a ping—pong that

and a golf club for a leg because it is met. it sometimes of superhero. is it is met. it sometimes of superhero. isita is met. it sometimes of superhero. is it a comedy act about medicine? in america, my first bill was $652,000 for life—support for 18 days. i had insurance, but was thing isa days. i had insurance, but was thing is a certain procedures are not covered and they don't tell you which ones. so they kind of make—up as it goes along. so i had to have post traumatic stress counselling just for the bills. you have developed a routine around... not a routine. this is a specific show. i had 18 months in bed, no hope whatsoever. only thing that gave me purpose was writing the show from deadpan to deadpan and this is the first thing i have done. the festival starts today... previewed it last night, still working through a. it was lovely, nice to be back.

there is a story and there is humour as well. if you don't like the jokes, stick with the story. 20 yea rs jokes, stick with the story. 20 years since you were last here? 20 yea rs years since you were last here? 20 years since you were last here? 20 years since the fringe. often people say that they have their routine, the act worked out and they are performing and you rejigged things. is that how it works? i have just been writing and living this thing day in, day out. from last september, somebody said why to get off your chest? i do want to be the quy off your chest? i do want to be the guy talking about his divorce or something. i had a good duty of service, entertainment, if possible isa service, entertainment, if possible is a bit it is service, entertainment, if possible isa bit it isa service, entertainment, if possible is a bit it is a heavy subject. i have x—rays you will never believe but i just want to show there is hopein but i just want to show there is hope in the world is a funny place at the moment, but it doesn't have to be awful, does it? it certainly doesn't. good message. philosophical message to take from it. you are definitely excused from taking part

in any of the events taking place. we will show you around a bit later on. gym, thank you very much. you will probably see behind us, they are behind us this morning. ——jim. we will be played out here. they will march towards us, they are very noisy. scottish music plays. now it is time for the news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. armed police have have arrested a man in north west london on suspicion of plotting terrorist acts. the 20—year—old was detained by officers from the fire arms command unit during a planned operation at around 6:30pm last night. he is now being held at police station in south london.

a fresh appeal has been made by police for information into the death of a man — thought to be killed while he was trying to stop a fight. it's now two years since 35—year—old mohammed hassan was fatally stabbed in battersea. five people were arrested in connection with his death, but no—one has been charged. mental health organisations are calling for more support to help young athletes deal with the pressures of top level sport. it follows the death of surrey snowboarder ellie soutter who died last week on her 18th birthday. one mentoring group is urging those who are struggling not to suffer in silence. when you are in a sport and you are fighting to constantly compete and do well and looking forfunding, promotions, contracts, whatever it is you are looking for, that can be really intense. so if you do have someone that is outside of the sport who has maybe been inside that environment and done it before and gone through things and have techniques of how they get

through it, it is really, really valuable. more than 20,000 free meals will be given to children in tower hamlets in an effort to reduce holiday hunger. a third of children living in the area are entitled to free school meals. children taking part in council funded summer activities will benefit from the scheme. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's good service on the tube this morning. turning to the trains, services are suspended on south western railway between ash vale and ascot. some technical problems there. on the roads, the traffic is building on the a13 lodge avenue flyover towards beckton and canning town. in twickenham, the traffic lights are not working on richmond road at thejunction with lebanon park. approach with care. let's have a check on the weather now good morning. after a pretty hot day yesterday we are expecting to see some more hot conditions

through today. plenty of sunshine as well. in fact, from the start of this morning we are going to see clear skies, sunny spells through the course of the morning over lunchtime and into this afternoon. we might see some patchy cloud move in, but all in all it is looking like we will see quite a bit of sunshine through today and it be feeling pretty hot as well, temperatures up to 31 degrees celcius and might even push to 32 degrees a little bit later on. as you make your way through this evening, some bright spells before nightfall will see some cloud begin to feed into the early hours of tomorrow. quite warm night last night, it will stay pretty warm overnight as we head into the weekend. lows of 16 celsius. perhaps an uncomfortable nights sleep ahead. as we go into the weekend, it is looking like it will stay pretty sunny through saturday and sunday, temperatures will be pretty high as well, even into the start of next week but by mid week we will see those bright, dry conditions, where temperatures will drop away. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour.

now, though, it's back tojon and naga. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. our headlines today: the rise of the silent killer. the number of people dying in england from sepsis jumps by a third in two years. red alert. forecasters warn of record temperatures in europe this weekend of up to 48 degrees celsius. president emmerson mnangagwa is declared the winner of zimba bwe's election, but the opposition rejects the result. for the result. the ninth consecutive year, we sold for the ninth consecutive year, we sold more goods and services to the rest of the world than we did two countries in the eu. so amid all this talk is of trade deals and brexit, should business be worried? i'm at this factory in west london to find out. in sport, there's joy and pain at the hockey world cup. ireland are through to

the semi—finals for the first time, but england are knocked out. hello, it's friday the third of august. thank you forjoining us. also this morning: something special for you. charlie's in edinburgh at the festival. naga, thank you. this is the world's biggest arts festival. we will try to give you a slice of what will be happening here and we have the tattoo dance company with us this morning, good morning. would you like to start? i want to give you a sense of what's happening this morning, we will hear from artists and musicians. we have a knife thrower a little later on. things likely to get a little bit dangerous as well. all, of course, with the wonderful backdrop of edinburgh castle. 0f

of course charlie there throughout the morning and we'll bring you all the morning and we'll bring you all the latest from the edinburgh festival on breakfast this morning. you're watching breakfast. our top story: deaths caused by sepsis have risen by more than a third over two years at england's hospitals. that's according to figures given to the bbc‘s today programme by a leading health expert. campaigners have described the rare but serious complication as a silent killer. our health editor, hugh pym, reports. sepsis is a serious complication which can develop after infections without antibiotics it can result in organ failure and death. melissa meade's 12 —month—old son, william, died after developing sepsis which was not detected by doctors. along with other campaigners, she's tried to raise awareness among staff and patients. screening of vulnerable patients. screening of vulnerable patients has improved but figures given to the bbc suggest sepsis is

an increasingly serious problem. using official nhs data, experts at imperial college london say there we re imperial college london say there were just over imperial college london say there werejust over 15,700 imperial college london say there were just over 15,700 deaths recorded at english hospitals in the 2016/17 year were sepsis was the main diagnosis. two years previously, there were just over 11,300 such deaths. that was a 38% increase over the course of two yea rs. england says it's at to increase recognition mean cases previously recorded as simple infections are now classified as sepsis. experts say that may account for some of the increase but there are other factors that need explaining. we've got the increasing pressure on the nhs. we've got fewer healthcare professionals delivering more care to ever—increasing numbers of patients, and that's got to play a pa rt patients, and that's got to play a part in these figures. campaigners believe the struggle to contain sepsis is from over, and it will need a much bigger effort to

bring it under control. hugh pym, bbc news. in a few minutes we'll be speaking to jaco nel, who very nearly lost his life after contracting sepsis from a tiny cut on his hand. in other news this morning: forecasters say europe could record its highest ever temperature later today. a heatwave across the continent could see the current record of 48 degrees celsius broken. tourists and locals have been warned to stay out of the sun and to keep hydrated. we will look at the uk later but let's look at europe, these are unprecedented levels ? europe, these are unprecedented levels? much of europe has been in the grips of a prolonged heat wave through the summer but it steps up over the next couple of days. south—west spain and southern portugal, inland in particular, we could get 247 or 48. 47 would be

record—breaking, all—time records in modern history in spain and portugal around 47 —— to 47.48 modern history in spain and portugal around 47 —— to 47. 48 is the record in athens in 1977. this is dangerous levels of heat. in the 2003 heatwave, it led to tens of thousands of extra deaths and, of course, the heat is very uncomfortable to deal with. it looks like it could last through the next few days. i'll have more through the morning. matt, thanks very much, see you later. zimbabwe's zimba bwe's opposition has zimbabwe's opposition has vowed to launch court action to annul the result of the presidential election. the president of zimbabwe, emmerson mnangagwa, has been declared the winner. he called it a new beginning but the opposition party has rejected the result. the announcement follows days of deadly violence and allegations of vote—rigging, as our reporter, andrew plant, has been finding out. cheering celebrations on the streets of zimbabwe after the country's controversial presidential election. zimbabwe's president,

emmerson mnangagwa, a 75—year—old politician nicknamed the crocodile due to his shrewd, some say ruthless, political manoeuvring, winning zimba bwe's first election since the end of robert mugabe's rule in november last year. in the days before the announcement, delays and confusion boiled over into protests with security forces using tear gas and water cannon and then opening fire with live rounds. six people died in wednesday's violence, with dozens more injured. opposition supporters immediately said they suspected a rigged election, claiming they hadn't been allowed to verify the votes. we reject the results because the results have yet to be verified by the chief election officers of the candidates. zimbabwe saw decades of rule by robert mugabe, under whom the country's economy imploded and poverty became everyday

life for many. mnangagwa was a close ally of mugabe and is now his official successor. today we are witnessing... international observers and voters alike will hope he can now begin to fix a country with deep political divisions and widespread social and economic problems. andrew plant, bbc news. here, the new head of the armed forces has said he will not allow a witch—hunt of veterans over their roles during the 30 years of troubles in northern ireland. in his first interview since becoming chief of defence staff, general sir nicholas carter said that it was right that serving and former personnel were held to account for wrongdoing, but he would fight moves to prosecute soldiers. two men are being treated in hospital after they were stabbed outside glasgow rangers' ibrox stadium last night. fans clashed ahead of the europa league match with croatian side osijek. the two men, aged 24 and 40, are in a stable condition. police scotland have appealed for witnesses. regular exposure to even low

levels of air pollution may affect the heart to such an extent that it would be similar to the early stages of heart failure. according to a study for the british heart foundation, the changes were comparable to being consistently inactive or having raised blood pressure. our correspondent, jon donnison, reports. it's estimated air pollution is a contributing factor in the deaths of around 40,000 people in the uk each year. this study looks at how the quality of the air we breathe affects the heart. queen mary university looked at data from 4,000 people. most of those lived outside big cities and in areas where air pollution was below uk government guidelines. still it found those who live near busy roads tended to have slightly bigger hearts, often an early sign of heart disease. the heart tends to get larger when it undergoes a stressful situation, and we often see that

in people who are developing heart failure, when the heart is not pumping efficiently. in this individual in the study, they are healthy people, so the heart function is so normal, but we start seeing these early signs of enlargement of the heart. the research comes with the government's consultation period on its draft clean air strategy due to end later this month. the strategy aims to reduce pollution in order to halve the number of people living in areas which exceed world health organization guidelines by 2025. jon donnison, bbc news. time now is coming up to 7:10am. you're watching breakfast. without antibiotics, people who go into septic shock have just a 20% chance of survival and as we've been reporting this morning, the number of deaths in england caused by sepsis are increasing. we'rejoined now by dr ron daniels, founder of the uk sepsis trust and also by drjako nel, who developed blood poisoning

after getting a small cut on his hand. good morning to both of you. good morning. can i start with you, explain what happened. from that tiny cut you became very sick indeed. talk us through it. the cut, i was playing with my dog, it was just an accidental tiny nick on my finger which i cleaned, disinfected and forgot about. about two weeks later i suddenly got flu—like symptoms. was feeling really hot and cold and shivery, a key. ijust thought i was coming down with flu. we nt thought i was coming down with flu. went home, got into bed and slept. became very confused the next day when i was alone at home and then by the evening, when my partner got home, i was very disorientated. didn't know what i was talking

about. couldn't walk, couldn't use my hands. my skin was modelled. that's when we called the paramedics. how soon were you diagnosed or was it recognised you we re diagnosed or was it recognised you were suffering with sepsis? the paramedics recognised it. they thought it was meningococcal meningitis. they did all the necessary things in the ambulance, spoke to the doctors in a&e and they started me on antibiotics in the ambulance. what period of time then elapsed? ambulance. what period of time then elapsed ? it got ambulance. what period of time then elapsed? it got to the point where you were so elapsed? it got to the point where you were so ill that you're now a double amputee and you've had other surgery as double amputee and you've had other surgery as well? it was within 24 hours i was in icu in a coma. and i

nearly died. they didn't think i would make it but i did. it took them three weeks to find out which bacteria caused it. all the tests... the normal things they would do, london function, other tests, they we re london function, other tests, they were all negative. after three weeks they isolated this rare bacteria that certain dogs have —— lung function. then i was in icu for a week in the high dependency unit for another two weeks after that. —— and in the high dependency unit. i was on dialysis for two months. then four months after it all happened, my legs and fingers were amputated. doctor or, i mean, that story from

beginning to not even the end, partway through, you told us... that's how serious it can be —— doctor ron daniels. it's very frightening to learn that it can ta ke frightening to learn that it can take hold so quickly. it's important to note that jako had very good care, had urgent attention, urgent diagnosis of sepsis and great treatment and still have this problem. it's important to note it's not always that quick, it is hugely common but even if people don't have the visible scars of sepsis, if we don't treat it quickly then we can get scars. what happened, you were playing with your dog. you cleaned it, fine, but does it mean if you're infected and the dog has the bacteria in its mouth, as soon as you get it, that is the road? do we have any natural resistance? jako's

situation is quite rare. sepsis is normally caused by common infections like water infections and lung infections, it can because by a sting but it is uncommon for a dog bite to do this so quickly. sting but it is uncommon for a dog bite to do this so quicklym sepsis gets in the human body, would we all react without treatment, is that the inevitable road in terms of gangrene or losing limbs, or kidney failure, as jako went through. people react differently. organs begin to fail, it's not always the circulation to the limbs that puts you at risk of amputation, but kidney failure is common, as is septic shock. we don't want everyone with flu—like symptoms to run to a&e butjako with flu—like symptoms to run to a&e but jako had the with flu—like symptoms to run to a&e butjako had the skin with flu—like symptoms to run to a&e but jako had the skin colour changes, the skin being mothballed, the confusion, that doesn't happen with flu. if people are worried about someone with an infection and they look unwell, that's when they

need to phone healthcare and ask if it is sepsis. the reason we're talking about this is because the bbc investigated and these deaths have increased by a third. is that because of how we are recording it or more cases? it's an alarming trend, we see this in other countries, especially in the us and scandinavian countries so we believe it's more common but a large part is down to the way we are coding it. this day shows us... this is a conservative estimate of the number of deaths, but we need to get better at recording and measuring —— this day. jako, what are you getting now in terms of treatment and what is life like for you now? life is so different and hard. everything takes longer. dressing, washing, you know, all the normal daily tasks take longer. i'm going back to work

eventually when i get all the equipment i need, the it things and the training. are you having any more treatment? i'm having psychological treatment, yeah. a lot of people suffer with posts sepsis syndrome, post—traumatic stress disorder, depression. the change in appearance, that's really difficult to deal with and i was really lucky to deal with and i was really lucky to get referred to a psychotherapist on the nhs. that's really helping. this is the side, you know, you can this is the side, you know, you can see the physical impact of sepsis and people recover from see the physical impact of sepsis and people recoverfrom this, but this is important in terms of extra care. is about 4096 of people who survive have an element of cognitive bombs or psychological problems or just severe fatigue problems. people

need help, if they can access it through the nhs that is the best route, if not we have a support team who are able to advise. what would your message be to people who developed the same symptoms that you had back then and two people in that health professions who are maybe not that used to spotting the symptoms. what do you say that everybody? —— say that everybody. if you become very u nwell say that everybody. if you become very unwell quickly and are confused and have other signs like i had and the disorientation and feeling wary, very unwell, to definitely seek medical advice quickly. —— say to everybody. there is always that feeling that you don't want to bother people. well, rather bother than not. thank you very much for coming in, we wish you very much for coming in, we wish you all the best for your recovery. the time is 18 minutes past seven.

here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. very good morning to you. pretty warm start to your friday as well. temperatures stayed in their teens, even low 20s, but they fine start for the vast majority. most of you will get away with a dry day, but they will be showers especially across northern and western areas and towards the south of the uk that he is building yet again. at look in detail because we have a weather front that is straddling across parts of scotland, northern england, that will be the focus of the heaviest of the rain. a few showers in the north—west highlands transferring eastwards, but along this weather front this is where we could see a spell of very heavy rain with rumbles of thunder too. cumbria, northumbria, scotland and borders most prone to the early afternoon, that will call off. only afternoon, that will call off. only a narrow area of rain and throughout the day much of england will stay dry. the sunnis that throughout is

in the south, come inland, temperatures high 20s, low 30s. a bit more cloud this afternoon, showers towards merseyside, manchester and greater lancashire. northern ireland and scotland will still see a few showers and it could be heavy and sundry towards the north—east this afternoon. here, a drop in richer relative to what he saw yesterday and a pleasant enough when the sun is out. it will clear away overnight. based places having away overnight. based places having a dry night, leading to a few mist and fog patches. glasgow is down to around 12 tonight. single figures in the rural parts of scotland and northern ireland but another humid and muggy one for a good part of central southern england and wales. starting with sunshine overhead, patchy cloud around. the cloud coming and going but later on it could threaten a few showers but the vast majority stays dry. temperatures down tomorrow relative

to today's. high teens, low 20s further south. may be down a degree or two but still pretty hot with temperatures in the high 20s. saturday into sunday, high pressure with us, more pressure the further north you are, across england and wales early morning mist and fog. on and off throughout the day in scotla nd and off throughout the day in scotland and it will take and up towards northern ireland, western scotla nd towards northern ireland, western scotland to produce more in the way of rain and drizzle. most will say try again on sunday and temperatures are still into the mid, if not high 20s across a good portion of england and wales. the heat remains in place across the south and even into the first few days of next week as well. thanks very much mapped, see you later. put it past seven, business news in our. —— matt. —— 20 past. in 2017, uk companies sent more of their goods and services

to the rest of the world than they did to the eu, a trend that's continued for the ninth year running. we has seen charlie in edinburgh, then that has been welding, riding his bicycle. —— ben. you are digging into the impact of all of this exporting. that is not ben with the gloves on? that is not me. that is rebecca wearing the gloves and glasses, doing brazing, putting those parts of the bike together and those parts of the bike together and those bikes are sold in 44 countries around the world, made in west london. you might be able to make me out amongst all of this machinery. isa out amongst all of this machinery. is a big place they have got here. this is a brompton bike factory, they sell the bikes) the world. pa rt they sell the bikes) the world. part of that success story that we sell more to other countries outside of the eu, the rest of the world, then we do two countries inside. that is particularly important given everything we have heard about trade

wa rs everything we have heard about trade wars and brexit trade deals. let me introduce you to will, the boss. we are looking at all of this work going on. lovely to see, you have made in london, quite rare but you sell right around the world. we are exporting 80% of our products all over the world and apart from the fa ct over the world and apart from the fact that that means business is bigger, it is good fun. we are whizzing off to japan, drinking cool beer and different food. our business isn't on one territory, we are dependent on weather but sometimes the weather is bad in one territory, good in another. so our whole business is far more stable because we have lots of eggs in different baskets. you make it sound very easy when painting that picture. of businesses are worried about trade about trade deals, trade wa rs about trade about trade deals, trade wars and brexit, whether that figure in your concerns? so, the uk is 196

less tha n in your concerns? so, the uk is 196 less than 1%, 0.6% of the world ‘s population. there is a massive market out there and they like british stuff. we want to get involved in that. in regards to the uncertainty, we had that contagion from greece three years ago, we have forgotten about it, trump is doing this. if we spent our entire life we would be worried about this and wouldn't do anything. what we need to be worried about are the bits we can control. innovation, new ideas, employing cool stuff, opening distribution, those things matter and we can control. the other stuff is indirect fluff which we willjust have to manage when we know what it is. for now, thank you very much. annie is here with me, from the institute of directors of. will was really optimistic, up the about how business should deal with this. you have a report out this morning

warning that businesses will have to brace for the potential of a no deal brexit. will have that whatever happens, it is buying. is it? what he is illustrating is that most entries have a dayjob and i want to worry about these unknown is and thatis worry about these unknown is and that is why we want government to put ahead these notices to explain what a no deal it. -- is. what are the concerns that day today firms have? we are talked at trading and paris and will it cost more, those are concerns for some firms. brexit will not affect any two firms in the same way. is about what does it do for customers? how do i make sure my products are getting to my customers on time? for other companies is about continuing to have access to the right skills and talent and that is one of the things that we see from companies across different sections and different as, once voicing their concerns about what is coming out of this deal. they give a

much, talk later. that is the issue for many businesses, how to content with these different concerns. one of the night —— nice things about filming ina of the night —— nice things about filming in a factory like this is that there are ways to get around. sol that there are ways to get around. so i promise you that i would make sure to get around this place, it is absolutely huge and this is the best way to do it. see you at about eight o'clock. on your bike. charlie's at the edinburgh festival this morning where more than four million people are expected to visit this month. is doing illusions or something. morning charley. —— he is doing. —— charlie. that is not me. let me introduce you tojermaine. jermaine is that is not me. let me introduce you to jermaine. jermaine is here that is not me. let me introduce you tojermaine. jermaine is here doing footjuggling a tojermaine. jermaine is here doing foot juggling a and tojermaine. jermaine is here doing footjuggling a and she said she could chat while doing this. argue

when you are in a sport and you are fighting to constantly compete and do well and looking forfunding, promotions, contracts, whatever it is you are looking for, that can be really intense. so if you do have someone that is outside of the sport who has maybe been inside that environment and done it before and gone through things and have techniques of how they get through it, it is really, really valuable. more than 20,000 free meals will be given to children in tower hamlets in an effort to reduce holiday hunger. a third of children living in the area are entitled to free school meals. children taking part in council funded summer activities will benefit from the scheme. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's good service on the tubes this morning. turning to the trains. services are suspended on south western railway between ash vale and ascot, some technical problems there. on the roads, traffic is building on the blackwall tunnel, southern approach.

finally, a warning that tower bridge is due to open at 8am. so there will be delays around there. time for the weather now with rich davis. good morning. after a pretty hot day yesterday we are expecting to see some more hot conditions through today. plenty of sunshine as well. in fact, from the start of this morning we are going to see clear skies, sunny spells through the course of the morning over lunchtime and into this afternoon. we might see some patchy cloud move in, but all in all it is looking like we will see quite a bit of sunshine through today and it be feeling pretty hot as well, temperatures up to 31 degrees celcius and might even push to 32 degrees a little bit later on. as you make your way through this evening, some bright spells before nightfall will see some cloud begin to feed into the early hours of tomorrow. quite warm night last night, it will stay pretty warm overnight as we head into the weekend. lows of 16 celsius.

perhaps an uncomfortable nights sleep ahead. as we go into the weekend, it is looking like it will stay pretty sunny through saturday and sunday, temperatures will be pretty high as well, even into the start of next week but by mid week we will see those bright, dry conditions, but temperatures will begin to drop away. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: deaths caused by sepsis have risen by more than a third over two years at england's hospitals. that's according to figures given to the bbc‘s today programme by a leading health expert. campaigners have described the rare but serious complication as a silent killer and say more needs to be done to bring it under control. nhs england says efforts to improve recognition mean that cases previously recorded as simple infections are now classified as sepsis.

zimbabwe's opposition has vowed to launch court action to try to overturn the results of the country's presidential election. the president of zimbabwe, emmerson mnangagwa, has been declared the winner and called it a new beginning. the announcement follows days of deadly violence and allegations of vote—rigging. our africa correspondent, nomsa maseko, is in the capital, harere. nomsa maseko, these will be anxious times to see how the declaration and the results of this election go down with people on the streets? indeed. the fact that this announcement was made in the early hours of this morning with the military and police patrolling the streets is making zimbabweans even more anxious, and they're waiting to see what is expected to happen in the coming days. we heard from the

opposition movement for democratic change, saying that the results that we re change, saying that the results that were released by the electoral commission were rigged and do not reflect the will of the people. then, the president, emmerson mnangagwa, he tweeted, also in the early hours of the morning after the results were announced, saying that he was grateful and humbled by the fa ct he was grateful and humbled by the fact that zimbabweans had voted for him. so it's interesting days for zimbabwe as they wait to see what is going to happen, the most important question they're asking themselves is will the military be ordered to return to the barracks? bouquet, thank you very much indeed, nomsa maseko in harare. forecasters say europe could record its highest ever temperature later today. a heatwave across the continent could see the current record of 48 degrees celsius broken. tourists and locals have been warned to stay out of the sun and to keep hydrated. the highest temperature was set in athens injuly, 1977. the new head of the armed forces has said he will not allow

a witch—hunt of veterans over their roles during the 30 years of troubles in northern ireland. in his first interview since becoming chief of defence staff, general sir nicholas carter said that it was right that serving and former personnel were held to account for wrongdoing, but he would fight moves to prosecute soldiers. it is right and proper that if our soldiers have done something wrong then they should clearly be investigated and held to account for it, but only if they've generally done something wrong because we need to have some standards, we need to have values that people are held against, otherwise we would lose the moral high ground. what is fundamentally wrong, though, is if they're chased by people making vexatious claims, and that will not happen on my watch, absolutely not. teresa may will interrupt her holiday in italy to hold talks with the french president emmanuel macron about brexit negotiations —— theresa may. she will travel to his island

retreat in the south of france and there she will urge the president to soften his stance on security and financial services. crucial issues ahead of a meeting with eu leaders in salzburg next month. regular exposure to even low levels of air pollution may affect the heart to such an extent that it would be similar to the early stages of heart failure. according to a study for the british heart foundation, the changes were comparable to being consistently inactive or having raised blood pressure. still to come, matt will have all the weather but first, mike. we are celebrating. what a story. nobody expected ireland, not even themselves, to reach the semifinals of the hockey world cup, 16th in the world. the second lowest ranked team in the world cup, they won a dramatic penalty shuffle shootout, you have eight seconds to beat the goalkeeper. not like a usual penalty

shootout but they beat india that we. but england are out. india are one of the best teams in the world. the ireland coach said his side had shown dreams can come true after they reached the semi—finals of the hockey world cup for the first time. they produced another surprise victory, beating india in a shootout shuffle. great skill there to outfox the keeper. remember, ireland entered the tournament as rank outsiders, but now now they take on spain tomorrow. who would have thought! as was said the other weekend, it's literally like christmas has come. no—one would have picked us to be here. we didn't exactly think ourselves we were going to get here, we had goals to get out of the group, get to the crossover, but we skipped that and straight to the quarter—final and here we are in the semis. emotions are unbelievable at the minute, it's a great feeling. so compare the emotions there to england's fate. they're ranked second in the world and had eight olympic champions in the side, but they were beaten 2—0 by the netherlands. the dutch are the defending champions, though,

and they'll play australia for a place in the final. england's first test against india is finely balanced after a second day full of twists and turns. sam curran put england on top with some brilliant bowling. but with india in trouble, england missed chances to remove captain virat kohli, and he went on to score 149 and keep his side in the game. alistair cook was bowled with the last ball of the day. so england resume on 9—1, that's a lead of 22. i think the boys challenged them as much as we could. on another day those catches would be taken, and obviously we've just got to look forward and be positive that we're still ahead of them in the game in terms of runs—wise, and hopefully bat big tomorrow and challenge them. burnley‘s first european tie for more than half a century ended with victory over aberdeen in the europa league qualifiers. burnley went ahead in the second leg, but 18 year—old lewis ferguson scored a brilliant equaliser, that's his first goal for aberdeen. but in extra time, a goal

from jack cork and a late penalty gave the premier league side a 4—2 win. rangers, hibernian and welsh champions new saints are all through to the next round as well. england's georgia hall said she couldn't ask for more after an opening round of 67 at the women's british open, the fourth major of the season. she made five birdies and didn't drop a single shot, and she said she was extremely happy to do that on a course as tricky as royal lytham. hall is two shots behind minjee lee of australia. finally, how about this for a brilliant bit of teamwork? one of my favourite bits this morning. if you've played blow football when you were younger, the heath church group in west wales showed incredibe lung power to get a plastic counter all the way around a course of tables and into a small box. let's have another look. they're calling it a new game called counter attack. look at how it bends and weaves,

almost goes into the cup, then into the box. have you done this? i have played blow football in the past. what is the red counter? they have done that as a bit of inspiration, tea m done that as a bit of inspiration, team bonding. aplastic counter. it is from connect four. i wonder how many goes they did to get that done? i don't know. do you normally play with a ping—pong ball? i don't know. do you normally play with a ping-pong ball? blow football, two straws, little ball and then on a table. amazing. if you wa nt to and then on a table. amazing. if you want to get the family together ain! cycling's most famous couple are back in pursuit of medals today on day two of the first ever multi—sport european championships. olympic gold—medallists laura and jason kenny carry great britain's hopes in glasgow, alongside the likes of swimmer hannah miley. double olympic champion and pundit rebecca adlington joins us now, from our new glasgow studio, which will be the bbc‘s home during the games. good morning, rebecca. looks lovely

behind you. good morning. five different sports going on today with some real highlights in the pool and velodrome? yeah, no, i'm really looking forward to it. this is the first time we've ever had a championships like this and for the swimmers, the europeans are such an important meet but to have it with multiple sports with so much going on, it is like the studio we have back here in glasgow. very exciting. weird not to be in the pool but i'm loving the studio. everytime you present you must think about getting backin present you must think about getting back in there at some point. talking about laura and jason kenny, we must remind ourselves about their glorious olympic success. jason kenney has got it! what a

ride, a golden hat—trick in rio for jason kenney. since then they have had their little baby, albee, he's nearly a year old and little baby, albee, he's nearly a yearold and in little baby, albee, he's nearly a year old and in the papers they say they don't get a full night's sleep, he's up a couple of times in the night. laura got a silver at the worlds in march, how much does it affect your competitive edge as an athlete, as either a mum or dad? it's really hard, i retired and had my babies, i can't imagine going back. credit to them. it puts stuff into perspective. so much in sport, you think it is life or death and what happens if we don't get the gold. but being a parent sometimes puts things into perspective, there isn't as much pressure as laura and jason are feeling because they've

got this really healthy, gorgeous baby boy at home so they're probably enjoying it even more i reckon. but it hasn't been easy i reckon and they're probably it hasn't been easy i reckon and they‘ re probably absolutely shattered. they're they‘ re probably absolutely shattered. they‘ re probably they‘ re probably absolutely shattered. they're probably grateful to be with the team and have a full night's sleep i guess. naga in the studio here, we will talk about the sport in a moment. we were talking on the sofa earlier about asking people being parents and how it affects them being sportspeople, we talked about serena williams coming back and saying, is it something we should focus on or should it be considered something separate? the fa ct considered something separate? the fact is you are still athletes, still sportspeople, people become pa rents all still sportspeople, people become parents all the time. i definitely agree with that. everyone is tackling worklife, depends what your work is but at the same time as an athlete, for laura, she has had to get herself back in extremely good shape very quick and doing that is very difficult. afterbirth, i was a

crying mess, i couldn't stop crying! that was my problem. i don't know how people did it, imagine going to training! oh my god! it is something you have to take on board because its life changing being a parent, com pletely life its life changing being a parent, completely life changing. it is something you have to pay attention to in some way even though millions of people are going back to work every day after having kids. adam peaty, i was reading this morning, so peaty, i was reading this morning, so much about what's going on in your mind, he says, he's been qualifying today and he said in the papers he has his mojo back because in the commonwealth games he said he didn't want to be in the pool. you could tell that with adam at the commonwealth games. he didn't have the bounce and the swagger that adam has all the time. he didn't have that at the commonwealth games and he didn't seem as happy as now, he seems in such a good place. adam a lwa ys seems in such a good place. adam always looks in shape and he's

hugely talented and winning medals, but for me it's about seeing the big cheshire smile adam and's got and it does look like he's got his mojo back so hopefully the results this week reflect that —— adam's got. we look forward to seeing you more at that plush judeo later we look forward to seeing you more at that plushjudeo later on the bbc. there is cycling, synchronised swimming —— plush studio. bbc. there is cycling, synchronised swimming -- plush studio. she is so fantastic when she commentates. swimming -- plush studio. she is so fantastic when she commentatesm isn't just the fantastic when she commentatesm isn'tjust the knowledge but the passion. she is so excited. so exciting, bringing all these sports together. and the athletics in berlin as well. thanks, mike, see you later. the government should issue guidance telling parents not to give smartphones to children under 11 years old as a way to avoid depression and anxiety, a leading royal college psychiatrist has said. it said about in households across the country, when does your child

get theirfirst phone, the country, when does your child get their first phone, what kind of phone —— it's a debate. it comes after yesterday's ofcom report which revealed people in the uk now check their phones on average every 12 minutes. lots of us probably a bit more than that. drjon goldin from the royal college of phychiatrists, joins us now from our london newsroom. good morning to you. thank you for coming on breakfast. so what do you say. don't give a smartphone to children under 11, why not? say. don't give a smartphone to children under“, why not? this is guidance, a suggestion that the royal college psychiatrists have come up with, we are not saying that no children under 11 should have them but we think that is a reasonable cut off and recommendation for parents that a. if you look at the social media apps fort snapchat, facebook and instagram, the age limit is 13, so there is no reason for a child to have them. apart from the fact that they say all of our mates have them and that is how we function, it is the new normal. they would say that

and a lot of the nine or ten new rules say their friends have smart phones but when the parents talk to each other, that is not the case. we wa nt each other, that is not the case. we want young people to be interacting face—to—face and getting out playing outside and there are quite a lot of risks associated with social media at ages nine and ten. feeling of missing out and feeling addicted. we know from the report that adults look at the phone every 12 minutes on average and we need to set a good example is a bit we want our children to be doing other things other than looking at their phones particularly injunior other than looking at their phones particularly in junior school. the thing is, they do lots of things. kids these days to more than what we did, but they have their phones as well. it is a part of modern life and if they don't have a phone themselves they are on their parents own. there is the getting away from it. -- own. there is the getting away from it. —— phone in the. own. there is the getting away from it. -- phone in the. we are suggesting this guidance forjunior school —. in countries like ireland

and france they are saying that social media shouldn't be available for those under 15 —— 16 and we think that is going too far. we do think that is going too far. we do think that is going too far. we do think that parents are crying out for recommendations in this area and we think that a reasonable cut off to suggest is thatjunior school children don't have access to smartphone or don't have their own, they can use their parents sometime and obviously that is a decision pa rents and obviously that is a decision parents have to make but this is a reasonable guidance. we were talking about a separate debate about bringing up kids and whether kids do enough or take enough risk or do enough or take enough risk or do enough time on their own these days. one of the reasons parents to let their children go out is because they can contact them, maybe a phone allows that can indication which then gives kids more freedom and opportunity is. i arisen largely that children aged ten need a phone, but they might not need a smartphone. i think you can get

basic phone is weak and taxed and the contactable without needing access to instagram, facebook, which in my view are not appropriate for nine or 10—year—olds. in my view are not appropriate for nine or10-year-olds. ok, thank in my view are not appropriate for nine or 10-year-olds. ok, thank you very much indeed. let us know what you think of that by the usual way. it is like a rite of passage for some kids, i have got to a certain age and! some kids, i have got to a certain age and i need a phone. as a parent you have dealt with that. matt, you have bigger things to talk about in terms of the temperature is. yes, big clouds as well. this is in the murray firth, to give you an example, it won't be completely dry for everyone today. this could bring the odd rumble of thunder into the afternoon but while some will see rain, most of it is a dry day and as it was said, a hot day at there. with other day pretty warm and

humid. sheffield 19, with charlie at edinburgh, it is already 18 degrees. where you are waking up it is pretty mild but we do have some rainclouds. some will be linked to this weather front, which will straddle across parts of northern england, south—east scotland. have some showers pushing across the of scotla nd showers pushing across the of scotland and through the day they will become confined to the fire north—east. the rain, while heavy and thundery over a small space, it will become dry and bright you. always drives and sunniest towards the east, a bit of warm up —— warming up. north and west wales, patchy rain continues into the afternoon and a few showers for greater manchester towards the likes of yorkshire. on teesside it will brighten up, a few showers in northern ireland. showers in

scotla nd northern ireland. showers in scotland away from the north—east where there could the odd rumble of thunder. as we go through today into tonight, things will turn dry, showers clearing away and some clear skies for the vast majority that echoes through the bulk of the night. tonight will be a bit more fresh than last night across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. single figures, but another humid and muggy night central and southern parts of the country where we start the weekend with sunshine. if you are on holiday, a cracking start, patchy around the coasts and always more clout for scotland and northern ireland but some breaks, sunny spells. to catch a shower, i would favour or me and shetland, staying dry. still pretty hot for most in the south, mid to high 20s. as we go to saturday night into sunday, the high pressure that has been with us remains in place. this weatherfront could bring more persistent rain for a time in the morning and then turning more weight across the

hebrides later on the. a vast majority, sunday is another cracking a. patchy clouds cost scotland and northern ireland, sunniest england and northern wales and we could see temperatures little bit above 30 degrees again. for some, particularly in the south, the heatwave continues but thankfully nowhere near as hot as it is across southern portugal and spain there. absolutely, you will be updating us later in the programme about that. it is 7:50 a.m.. we often talk about the edinburgh festivals as it is 7:50 a.m.. we often talk about the edinburgh festivals as singular. but there are loads, from the fringe to the tattooed. charlie is there. where else would he be to get in on the action? bagpipes play. good morning, that is the tattoo

i think it is so important. comedy is therapeutic. laughter is therapeutic, it makes us feel better and there are lots ofjokes that not only from my career, because i co—wrote the vicar of deadly with richard curtis, but also there was a lot of jokes to have richard curtis, but also there was a lot ofjokes to have with parkinson. my lot ofjokes to have with parkinson. my urologist is a wonderful woman called michelle who and to have a doctor who as your doctor is funny. this is presumably close to your heart as well. parkinson's is an enormous personal, it is a huge thing to take on. is it away for you? it absolutely is. when i was diagnosed i was told i could expect five good years, which i thought was pretty fa ntastic, five good years, which i thought was pretty fantastic, really. but in fa ct, pretty fantastic, really. but in fact, i am pretty fantastic, really. but in fact, iam now pretty fantastic, really. but in fact, i am now seven years in and i

are calling for more support to help young athletes deal with the pressures of top level sport. it follows the death of surrey snowboarder ellie suiter who died last week on her 18th birthday. one mentoring group says those who are struggling shouldn't suffer in silence. when you're in a sport and you are fighting to constantly compete and do well and looking forfunding, promotions, contracts, whatever it is you're looking for, that can be really intense. so if you do have someone that's outside of the sport that's maybe been inside that environment and done it before and gone through things and have techniques of how they get through it, then it's really, really valuable. more than 20,000 free meals will be given to children in tower hamlets in an effort to reduce holiday hunger. a third of children living in the area are entitled to free school meals. children taking part in council funded summer activities will benefit from the scheme. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's good service on the tubes this morning.

services are suspended south—western railway, some technical problems at there. turning to the roads, there's queuing on the a40 western avenue into london —— services are suspended on south western railway between ash vale and ascot, some technical problems there. in kilburn, belsize road is part closed in both directions between kilburn high road and abbey road due to a burst water main. finally, a warning that tower bridge is due to open at 8 o'clock. so there will be delays around there. lets have a check on the weather now with rich davis. good morning. after a pretty hot day yesterday we are expecting to see some more hot conditions through today. plenty of sunshine as well. in fact, from the start of this morning we are going to see clear skies, sunny spells through the course of the morning over lunchtime and into this afternoon. we might see some patchy cloud move in, but all in all it is looking like we will see quite a bit of sunshine through today and it be feeling pretty hot as well, temperatures up to 31 degrees

celcius and might even push to 32 degrees a little bit later on. as you make your way through this evening, some bright spells before nightfall will see some cloud begin to feed into the early hours of tomorrow. quite warm night last night, it will stay pretty warm overnight as we head into the weekend. lows of 16 celsius. perhaps an uncomfortable nights sleep ahead. as we go into the weekend, it is looking like it will stay pretty sunny through saturday and sunday, temperatures will be pretty high as well, even into the start of next week but by mid week we will see those bright, dry conditions, but temperatures will begin to drop away. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. our headlines today: the rise of the silent killer — the number of people dying in england from sepsis jumps by a third in two years. red alert — forecasters warn of record temperatures in europe this weekend of up to 48 degrees celsius. president emmerson mnangagwa is declared the winner of zimba bwe's election, but the opposition rejects the result.

we sell more goods and services to the rest of the world than we do to the rest of the world than we do to the eu, so amid all this talk about trade wars and brexit, what does it really business? i'm at this bike exporter in london to find out. will england's cricketers be made to rue missed chances by india, on day 3, of the first test — they fail to catch captain kohli, who scores a century to keep his side, in the game. and whilst we've got record heat in iberia, here heat continues across southern parts, but it is not dry all the way to day. a few looming clouds to come. more on that later. hello, it's friday 3rd august, welcome to breakfast. also on the programme this morning — charlie's at the edinburgh festival. good morning from edinburgh. see

what we did with the monks there? a little bit of acrobatics, trying to join in to give you a sense of this enormous arts festival, the biggest in the world. the fiddlers playing behind me we will introduce you to, thank you very much, a number of the a cts thank you very much, a number of the acts joining thank you very much, a number of the actsjoining us today. frank thank you very much, a number of the acts joining us today. frank skinner and maureen lipman join acts joining us today. frank skinner and maureen lipmanjoin us later, along with a knife thrower, i will be keeping my distance! see you later. just make sure the sofa is safe, charlie, we need that back! we'll be back with charlie shortly. first, let's bring you this morning's main news, and our top story is that deaths caused by sepsis have risen by more than a third over two years at england's hospitals according to figures given to the bbc‘s today programme. campaigners have described the rare but serious complication as a silent killer. our health editor hugh pym reports. sepsis is a serious complication which can develop after infections. without antibiotics it can result in organ failure and death. melissa mead's12—month—old son, william, died after developing sepsis which was not detected by doctors.

along with other campaigners, she's tried to raise awareness among staff and patients. screening of vulnerable patients has improved, but figures given to the bbc suggest sepsis is an increasingly serious problem. using official nhs data, experts at imperial college london say there were just over 15,700 deaths recorded at english hospitals in the 2016/17 year where sepsis was the main diagnosis. two years previously, there were just over 11,300 such deaths. that was a 38% increase over the course of two years. england says its efforts to to increase recognition mean cases previously recorded as simple infections are now classified as sepsis. experts say that may account for some of the increase but there are other factors which need explaining. we've got the increasing pressure on the nhs. we've got fewer health care professionals delivering more care

to ever—increasing numbers of patients, and that's got to play a part in these figures. campaigners believe that the struggle to contain sepsis is from over, and it will need a much bigger effort to bring it under control. hugh pym, bbc news. earlier on breakfast we spoke to jako nel, who told us about his experience with sepsis: i was playing with my dog, it was just an accidental tiny nick on my finger, which i cleaned, disinfected and forgot about it. about two weeks later, i suddenly got flu—like symptoms. i was feeling really hot and cold, and shivery, achey. ijust thought i was coming down with flu. i went home, got into bed and slept. i became very confused the next day, but i was alone at home. and then by the evening, when my partner got home, i was very disorientated, didn't know what i was talking about, couldn't walk and use my hands.

my skin was modelled, so that's when we called the paramedics. jaco nel earlier talking about the symptoms of sepsis. it is five past eight. forecasters say europe could record its highest ever temperature later today. a heatwave across the continent could see the current record of 48 degrees celsius broken. tourists and locals have been warned to stay out of the sun and to keep hydrated. mattjoins us. matt, how unprecedented are these temperatures? i can't ican't imagine i can't imagine what it would feel like to be in temperatures of 48 degrees. very difficult, puts us on par with parts of the middle east. much of western europe has been in the grip of some unusually hot and dry weather so far. it is inland areas of southern portugal and

south—west spain. 47 degrees would equal if not better the national records, but 48 in athens, that is not out of the question. hot air is pushing in from africa over recent days, and that is now stagnating in place, and with clear skies overhead, sunshine down on that very hot ground, temperatures continue to rise. but whether it is record—breaking or not, these are potentially deadly temperatures. in the 2003 heatwave, the death toll stretch to tens of thousands thanks to the extreme heat, but over the next few days, it is not looking goodin next few days, it is not looking good in parts of iberia. match, thank you. we will get the uk forecast with you in a few minutes. zimbabwe's opposition has vowed to launch court action to try to overturn the results of the country's presidential election. the president of zimbabwe, emmerson mnangagwa, has been declared the winner and called it a new beginning.

the announcement follows days of deadly violence and allegations of vote rigging. the new head of the armed forces has said he will not allow a "witch hunt" of veterans over their roles during the 30 years of troubles in northern ireland. in his first interview since becoming chief of defence staff, general sir nicholas carter said that it was right that serving and former personnel were held to account for wrongdoing, but he would fight moves to prosecute soldiers. it is right and proper that if our soldiers have done something wrong then they should clearly be investigated and held to account for it, but only if they've generally done something wrong because we need to have some standards, we need to have values that people are held against, otherwise we would lose the moral high ground. what is fundamentally wrong, though, is if they're chased by people making vexatious claims, and that will not happen on my watch, absolutely not. two men are being treated in hospital after they were stabbed outside glasgow rangers' ibrox stadium last night. fans clashed ahead of the europa league match with croatian side osijek. the two men — aged 24 and 40 — are in a stable condition.

police scotland have appealed for witnesses. britain's biggest foodbank charity has called for extra donations to ensure that children who receive free school meals during term time don't go hungry during the school holidays. the trussell trust says that last year thousands more emergency food packs were provided during the summer months. last week, the government announced a £2 million fund in england to provide some poorer children with healthy meals during the holidays. our home editor mark easton reports. the issue of holiday hunger, as it's is called, has been rising up the political agenda. around 1.5 million children are eligible for free school meals in the uk, but outside term time struggling families must find an additional £30 to £40 a week. many resort to food banks, with the trussell trust saying emergency provision for children rises significantly during the summer months, when donations cannot meet demand. the trussell trust runs 428 food banks all across the uk.

so we know thatjust in ourfood banks alone, 74,000 supplies of food were given out to children in the summer months last year. that's an increase on the year before. it's a really concerning increase. in scotland and in wales, some local authorities now provide free school meals throughout the year to counter a problem that teachers say leads to signs of malnourishment when pupils return to classes in september. last week, the government announced a £2 million fund in england to provide around 30,000 poorer children with healthy meals and activities during the holidays. but earlier this year ministers refused to support a draft bill that would have placed a duty on local councils to ensure disadvantaged pupils were fed. the government says it's committed to supporting families to improve their lives, but the trussell trust is among those warning that welfare cuts and the introduction

of universal credit will mean more children go hungry. mark easton, bbc news. a three—metre long whale shark that lost its way and found itself in a creek in central dubai has been transported back to the ocean by a team of divers. it was quite a long operation. it took five hours and involved towing the young shark 13 kilometres under water back to the arabian gulf. experts say whale sharks tend to be more coastal but are attracted to the marina because of the bright lights at night. i guess coming from the boats and the skyscrapers there. but we are glad it's ok. it is ten minutes past eight. matt will bring us the weather for the uk, but 1st: people who live near busy roads are more likely to have enlarged hearts, ressembling those with early signs of heart failure,

according to a new study. the british heart foundation report showed that regular exposure to low levels of air pollution could be causing the structure of the heart to change. our correspondant john donnison reports. it's estimated air pollution is a contributing factor in the deaths of around 40,000 people in the uk each year. this study looks at how the quality of the air we breathe affects the heart. queen mary university looked at data from 4,000 people. most of those lived outside big cities and in areas where air pollution was below uk government guidelines. still it found those who live near busy roads tended to have slightly bigger hearts, often an early sign of heart disease. the heart tends to get larger when it undergoes a stressful situation, and we often see that in people who are developing heart failure, when the heart

is not pumping efficiently. in this individual in the study, they are healthy people, so the heart function is so normal, but we start seeing these early signs of enlargement of the heart. the research comes with the government's consultation period on its draft clean air strategy due to end later this month. the strategy aims to reduce pollution in order to halve the number of people living in areas which exceed world health organization guidelines by 2025. jon donnison, bbc news. and we're joined now in the studio by cardiologist cara hendry, we tend to think of the impact of pollution being on our lungs, but it is also the stress on the heart? yes, the affect of pollution can be multifactorial. it is a number of other factors that come into play. pollution is associated with poor

socioeconomic status, and that is also an indicator in cardiovascular health. we in the north—west have got one of the highest rates of mortality from cardiovascular disease in the new uk, and that is something we have to add in. when you look at the rate of cardiovascular disease in the uk, do you think that has been linked to pollution and not been recognised? it has already been linked to pollution. there was a huge paper in the lancet which worldwide gained a lot of interest, but nothing really changed in response to that, and i think this means that what we need to do is look at policies to make it easierfor people to to do is look at policies to make it easier for people to live in a way which reduces pollution. it is all very well saying we should look policies, and no one is going to disagree with you. but when is it going to happen? in the meantime you have people who are in houses or flats or communities where they are busy, and you can'tjust afford to get up and leave, even if your

health depends on it. people are just not in that position. and in particular, the people in this position aren't going to be the people who are upwardly mobile and able to move. what we need to do as well is to play a part, exercise more, choose to cycle or run instead of driving everywhere. but where do you do that if you are living in a polluted area? most polluted areas are cities or near busy roads, so this is where we need to make sure that infrastructure is improved so that infrastructure is improved so that more cycleways, make it easier for people to make the right choice. people will choose what is easy. we need to make it easierfor them people will choose what is easy. we need to make it easier for them to choose what is right for their help. i live in a city, and quite a polluted area, if i go for a run, am i doing more damage to myself running near these vehicles than if ijust running near these vehicles than if i just stayed at running near these vehicles than if ijust stayed at home and sat down? that is something that we have to think about. the thing we could do is change the time of day that we go to exercise, and look at the pollution levels, perhaps pollution is worse in the morning or when it

is worse in the morning or when it is the highest heat of the day, and you could maybe change the time that you could maybe change the time that you exercise through exposure. it is releva nt, you exercise through exposure. it is relevant, because these changes in the atmosphere, these particles that have been found to be associated with heart failure do make a difference on a cell level. we see this in heart function but also in the cellular level in the labs. are there any other things that we can do in ourlives? there any other things that we can do in our lives? we talk about policies and protocols, but in our day—to—day lives, what can we do to try to minimise our exposure?m day—to—day lives, what can we do to try to minimise our exposure? it is all about choosing the right thing, which is exercise, not to drive, to ta ke which is exercise, not to drive, to take public transport instead of that, and even despite that, some of the public transport systems have very high levels of pollution, for example the tube may potentially have more pollution in the underground tunnels. should we be wearing face masks?” underground tunnels. should we be wearing face masks? i think that would be extrapolating too far. why, because they don't work? they do

work, but it is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. but if you are living in a polluted area, these proposals aren't happening because of funding issues and mobility issues... ? i think because of funding issues and mobility issues... ? ithink we because of funding issues and mobility issues... ? i think we have to recognise that this is a small change, it is not an enormous change the presents a risk on an everyday basis. what is much more important in terms of population risk is to reduce the amount of smoking, reduce obesity, so people to eat less and prevent the risk of diabetes, these are much more important risk factors. but the danger is we are now adding pollution into all of the traditional risk factors to make the risks even higher. cara hendry, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. the department for environment says it is introducing a clea n environment says it is introducing a clean air strategy, making the uk the first major economy to work towards world health organisation recommendations. it also plans to end the sale of new diesel and petrol vehicles by 2040. but that is 22 years away, so in the

meantime we have to think about what we will do. it is 16 minutes past eight. we have been talking about the weather in europe all morning, but it is still warm for us. matt, good morning. that is a much less scary cloud above your head. it was a little scary earlier. we still have our own heatwave across southern counties in particular. elsewhere it is a very humid start, not particularly dry everywhere, the showers already across parts of northern scotland, and there will be some linked in with this weather front here. along that we will see rainfall intensify through this morning and into the early afternoon. a fairly narrow band, but where you see it, you could see some is quite sizeable amounts of rain, the odd rumble of thunder, too, before that clears off. towards the

south, after a misty start, it is business as usual, dry, sunny and hot. temperatures inland, high 20s, maybe 31, 32 around london. a little more cloud for the midlands, and western wales into parts of north—west england staying fairly cloudy with a few showers. but cumbria and northumberland should brighten up. across scotland, it is the north—east where we could catch some rumbles of thunder through the afternoon, and temperatures down a few degrees on yesterday, but still the sunny spells, and when you get them it will feel pleasantly warm. last night was a humid night, dry with clear skies, but temperatures away from the towns and cities will be down into single figures. england and wales, we still have temperatures well into the teens, close to 20 celsius in a few spots, and that muggy heir to take is into tomorrow morning. you have certainly got dry sunshine again tomorrow, a little patchy cloud building up around the coasts, and to catch a

shower, perhaps orkney and shetland best favoured for that through the course of the day. high teens, low 20s in scotland, a little cooler further south but still hot with jebet is a high 20s. on the dry weather continues to sunday, these weather continues to sunday, these weather fronts will initially bring some rain in shetland, then some rain towards the hebrides, and another dry day. cloud will come and 90, another dry day. cloud will come and go, sunny another dry day. cloud will come and go, sunny spells, england and wales longer spells of sunshine, strong sunshine at that, and temperatures still high 20s, may be pushing 30 degrees for one or two. no let up from the heat yet across some parts of england especially. that is how it is looking, back to nag and john —— naga and jon. lets you make a link now between the

hot and bats. you're going to lower your opinion of me! i will tell you what is happening. because the weather is warm, there are more moths coming out, and they are the main food source out, and they are the main food source of bats. there are 18 different types in the uk and they're becoming tougher to spot. our reporter adrian campbell has been to see a unique monitoring project down in dorset. chris deak from the dorset bat group is setting an unusual trap. it is almost invisible to bats. a special device plays out bat calls to lure them in, normally we wouldn't hear them, but another gadget interprets the sound for our ears. chris is specially licensed to handle these tiny mammals, and with the help of volunteers, he is hoping that after dusk he can be able to identify and then carefully release his latest catch.

if i am a bat and i am flying around happily in the woodland, we can put an acoustic lure to lure them in, they will come to investigate and hopefully not see our lines, fly into that and tumble down here and into the bag and then all we do is we come along, scoop them out and taken back base camp for processing. this is a very rare woodland species. there are 18 types of bat in britain, and golden cap is already known to have 12 different species. this is this a long—eared. this is this year's young, which may indicate there is a breeding colony around here. so it has just got really exciting. we have seen two and now three more bats have arrived and we are just about to have a look at them.

it is another to this —— pipistrelle. the bats are painstakingly identified as the experts try to help improve their chances here. gemma barron from the national trust works with volunteers and tenants to promote the best conditions for the bats. they are using the habitats, the grasslands, the hedge rows, the woodlands for foraging and navigating around the landscape. and the trees are important? yes, really important for them. they can navigate along here, it is also a foraging ground, lots of invertabraes. and it connects up to the hedgerows which then travels through the landscape. bats are in decline, caused in part because we have damaged their habitats. but these amazing creatures can live for 20, maybe 30 years or more. adrian campbell, bbc news, golden cap, dorset. that device looked like a giant harp

or something. from bats to bicycles and business, with ben, marvellous use of alliteration! we showed you around a little earlier, they are making this sort of thing, it doesn't look like much but it is part of a bike. i want to show you the end of this process, it isa show you the end of this process, it is a pretty big place, along routes to where they finished the bikes, so come with me because i want show you. they make these sort of things right around the world, it is one of our biggest exports alongside vehicles and other things. you might think that something like this would be made in china, but they are made right here and sold in 44 countries around the world. a big export. it

is pretty rare that you see this sort of thing, made in london. quite rare that you would get it made right here and sold around the world. this is a big project for them, and part of that big export that we sell more outside of the european union to other countries than we do to the european union itself. with me is ali and lesley. tell me why it is important to export outside europe. most importantly, businesses themselves benefit if they can trade internationally, because it makes for a different organisation, it makes them more sharp. most importantly, anyone can export, and we wa nt importantly, anyone can export, and we want people to go onto the website and find out how they can get engaged and visit lesley. and

all the uncertainty about trade wars of the united states and brexit, will we have a deal with the eu or not? when we have more information about what it will look like, what the deal will look like, we can make those adjustments, but for the time being, what businesses are trying to do is carry on doing what they do best. what is it that we do best in this country, what are we good at selling? whether it is manufacturing services, both contribute a fair share to ourgdp, services, both contribute a fair share to our gdp, but what we are seeing is the eu has been a big source seeing is the eu has been a big source of export growth, but we want to see more diversification. it shouldn'tjust be to see more diversification. it shouldn't just be eu to see more diversification. it shouldn'tjust be eu or non—eu.” wa nt to shouldn'tjust be eu or non—eu.” want to introduce you to nicole who is from the cbr. you are over here with all the wheels. a quick word on interest rates yesterday going up for the first time in nine years. that is another thing for business to think about right now. what will they be contending with?m to think about right now. what will

they be contending with? it is another thing to think about but it was entirely affected and priced in, so was entirely affected and priced in, so it is not a big surprise. so let's talk about trade as well. we've talked about trade deals on the concerns that many businesses have should businesses be worried? the boss earlier was saying that we deal with this uncertainty all the time. we do, but getting a good trade deal with the eu is number one priority. it affects everything. 50% of our trade as the figures coming at this week says, that is a huge proportion, another 16% tangled up with new trade deals, and we have got to get it right. the business and this need certainty as quickly as they can do to make it easier to invest. nicole, thank you very to see you. really interesting to see all this stuff down here today and how they put all of these things together. some say the wheels have come off negotiations, that certainly here, one of our big export, and they sell to 44 countries around the there is some rain in the forecast

today, but many areas will have a fine and dry day with good breaks in the cloud. the hot and humid conditions will continue down towards the south and east with temperatures peaking today. it is tapping into the warm air, which is working its way up from africa. this is more influenced by a low pressure system feeding in low—pressure air and more cloud through north—western parts of scotland, where we could see one or two showery outbreaks. we also have this area of rain which is straddling northern england, a dividing line between the fresh air and the hot and humid conditions down towards the south and the east. as you can see from the map, the hot and humid conditions really are

focused on that south—east sector, a lwa ys focused on that south—east sector, always a little fresher the further north and west you travel. there may be one or two sharp showers as well through eastern parts of scotland a little later on today, but temperatures in the south—east, 31, possibly 32 celsius today. any other showery outbreaks will now be through the overnight period, particularly muddy once again down towards the south—east corner, where temperatures barely drop away to 20 celsius. and high pressure continues to build out towards the west as we head into the weekend, feeding in a more north—westerly airflow which will just start to lose some more north—westerly airflow which willjust start to lose some of more north—westerly airflow which will just start to lose some of that humidity as we head through the weekend. but it remains hot on saturday, particularly down towards the south—east. always more cloud through western parts of scotland, but we could see one or two showers, many places remaining drive through the day and temperatures in the south—east reaching a high of around 30 celsius. this is business live from bbc news with maryam moshiri and alice baxter.

the wall street winner — apple becomes the first us company to be worth a trillion dollars. live from london, that's our top story on friday the 3rd of august from its humble beginnings 42 years ago, apple keeps going from strength to strength — but other tech companies are hot on its heels. also in the programme: the top us diplomat is in asia to invest millions and try and make a dent in china's influence in the region. we have the latest from the european markets which are looking pretty
