are on alert — locals and holidaymakers are urged to take care as temperatures climb well into the 40s more than 50 years after donald campbell died in the lake district — his record breaking bluebird hydroplane takes to the water again this weekend. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the prime minister has been meeting the french president, as she seeks to build support for her brexit plans. it follows a round of discussions between ministers, and their european counterparts in the last week. theresa may's visit to the south of france, comes as the governor of the bank of england mark carney, warns the chances of a ‘no—deal‘ brexit,

are "uncomfortably high". but his comments have been criticised by some conservative mps in favour of brexit, who say he's engaging in "project fear". our business editor simonjack reports. wish you were here. this is no holiday. government ministers are touring the scorched capitals of europe to persuade leaders to get behind its proposed deal with the eu. the prime minister even cut short her on holiday to join the french president on his. however they crank the temperature at home with this strongly worded warning. the possibility of a no deal is uncomfortably high at this point. it does mean potential disruption, it certainly does mean disruption to trade as we know it. and as a

consequence of that, it is structured and to the level of economic activity, changes higher prices, a period of time. they do not say anything by mistake, aggie knows every aspect is carefully scrutinised. and at a crucial moment at the governor makes it theirjob to highlight risks to the financial system. the bank minister to make manager, has told us that everything is going to be terrible in the end of the world. well, he said that before. the british people have said, no, we're going to leave the eu. and people like the manager of the bank of england, has got to accept that, you go back to canada if he wants to. we are coming out of the european union. the uncertainty over how we lead is affecting the

rally and prospects. so we are appearing this day for a very slow time in 2019. no matter what happens to brexit, we are able to look after out to brexit, we are able to look after our customer to brexit, we are able to look after our customer base. 50 to brexit, we are able to look after our customer base. so there is a brexit discount on uk focused stocks? yes, any uncertainty brings a discount. they may be sweating over the brexit outcome, but the governor also offered this reassurance. the financial system will be ready for that undesirable and still unlikely possibility. the financial system will be ready. ready but hardly willing, the french president is a guest on a mission. not on a holiday i would have hoped for. i'm joined now by adam fleming, who is at fort de bregancon, mr macron's summer residence. it all looks very tranquil there.

what we are hoping is to get more harmony between the french and british leaders when it comes to ipng theresa may and emanuel are the type of politicians will not be swayed by matter how pleasant, and the pictures of the meeting that we had a couple of hours ago but there sat there. surrounded by advisers down to business. this is clearly not a social call. details of the menu tonight, they're going to be having sea bass, chicken rendered off with cheese, we're not getting any details about what the two leaders had actually discussed. although i imagine high on the agenda will be brexit. theresa may is going around europe to tell them personally about the contents of her government paper that was agreed upona government paper that was agreed upon a couple of weeks ago. her

blueprint for the future relationship that she would like turned into this political declaration that will formally set alongside the brexit treaty, which is all about the issues. she wants to do what i want to one basis, so that document is not interpreted on her behalf by the eu chief ago she had her, michel barnier. normally this is team that goes through the documents, she is doing that her sally herself so that the message gets directly to our opposite numbers. but emmanuel macron is already made it clear that this meeting tonight is not going to be a substitution for negotiations and he has shown little sign really of having any difference in his approach. this is what theresa may is up against, 27 eu leaders, some of them left changed governments and the period since brexit, some have

fallen out spectacularly over migration or the eu budget, afterburn is gone. but i've managed to stay agreed, united and stuck religiously to their brexit guidelines. the first set of which was just written days after the brexit vote in 2016 and the second set that was agreed earlier this yearin set that was agreed earlier this year in the spring. we have stuck to those guidelines all throughout and there is no sign that any leaders are willing to budge. at any time it looks like there's a hint of dissent from the minister or prime minister there, it is quickly dampened down and everyone gets back on script. another thing that theresa may is up against is, michel barnier the chief negotiator wrote an editorial yesterday i was posted in 20 different countries, that there are plenty of good things in the plan, plenty of good things in the plan, plenty of good things in the plan, plenty of potential for an ambitious partnership between the two sites, but theresa may's plan for a single free trade area of goods, he says

that crosses one of the red lines, because it does not accept those services. so theresa may is up against the structure of the talks and ees position on the talks. the opposition in zimbabwe, says it won't accept what it calls the "fake" results, of the country's general election. emmerson mnan—gagwa, of the ruling zanu—pf party, was elected president by a narrow margin, and he called on zimbabweans to come together in peace and unity. but the defeated candidate nelson chamisa, says he can prove the process was rigged, saying it was a "coup against the people's will". our correspondent nomsa maseko reports from the capital harare. the day started quietly. no celebrations the morning after an election which declared emmerson mnangagwa leader. but there were pockets of disruption. press conference by opposition leader nelson chamisa

was interrupted by riot police. mr chamisa was allowed to speak eventually. he claims the election was rigged, and that the results announced by zimba bwe's electoral commission do not reflect the will of the people. if you go around the country, you will find that there is no jubilation, no celebration. if anything, today is a day of mourning. mourning over democracy. it is a black day because we are seeing a repeat of what we saw during the regime. very late last night, the electoral commission declared the result. therefore, mnangagwa emerson of zanu—pf party is therefore duly declared elected president of the republic of zimbabwe. this legitimises his position following a military coup that ousted former strong man

robert mugabe last november. the ruling zanu—pf party has dismissed allegations of vote—rigging and president mnangagwa has extented an olive branch. to nelson chamisa. i want to say you have a crucial role to play in zimbabwe's present and in its future, and its unfolding future. let us both call for peace and unity in our land. call for both louder and even. the opposition is yet to provide solid evidence to prove that the vote has been stolen. it will also be hard—pressed to persuade the international community to turn its back against president mnangagwa. with the results as close as this, there is no doubt that the next few days will be crucial for this deeply divided nation.

let's speak now to alex magaisa, who was chief adviser to morgan tsvangirai, the former prime minister of zimbabwe and president of the opposition mdc. he joins us from washington. thank you very much for talking to us thank you very much for talking to us this evening. do you think the opposition is justified us this evening. do you think the opposition isjustified in trying us this evening. do you think the opposition is justified in trying to challenge this result? well i think there is evidence to challenge the process and the outcome of this election. there were issues with the run—up to the election, but the opposition, are vindicated by the service, but there have been issues that have come out of the counter process of the selection which means that the opposition has every right

and reason to put across their challenge. using the legal and constitutional means on our books. but the commission, most natural saying that he is right to declare himself the victor in the selections. that is the position thatis selections. that is the position that is been put forth by the electoral commission, but are constitution gives us avenues for challenging a result of the election, including the process of the election and as i have pointed out, this is an incredibly close election. and the situation that lead off to a runoff election, the difference is less than 50,000 votes. so it is important that it is a meticulous process of assessing the results to ensure that all the results tally and that everything,

has been dealt with transparency and fairness and all of the problems that have been raised by the opposition, are vindicated by, it is important that there is a clean path to legitimacy. what is the evidence that they have presented in court to try and show that this would election was rigged. they have raised a lot of issues like, the process itself was not fair and transparent. and there were issues regarding the printing of ballot papers, the boaters which were not delivered in time. there have been many issues. but crucially, it cannot process. there was no reason for the apparent delays or slowness in issuing the results of the presidential election and there is also a very clear difference between the voting on a parliamentary level

and the voting at the presidential level. and in his position, there have been 11 funds, which from other observers, he is using to demonstrate the figures that have been put forward by the electoral commission and the authentic results. the results that were signed i these zimbabwe electoral commission were not signed for by the representative of the opposition. he has called for unity, the electoral commission has said that he is the legitimately elected president of the country. is there a danger than challenging this, there's going to be a further period of uncertainty and instability in zimbabwe? the option to that is to accept something that people clearly do not agree with. sol

accept something that people clearly do not agree with. so i think it's important that the opposition and anybody as the president, be given anybody as the president, be given an opportunity to exhaust all the channels that are available for people to enter, exercise the constitutional freedoms in order that the problem is cleared and if he is going to be declared the winner, that he goes in with a clean mandate, a legitimate mandate and i think that is important for zimbabwe in order to move forward. four men who died in a car crash in bradford yesterday have been named by the police watchdog. the car they were travelling in was being chased by an unmarked police vehicle. our correspondent ian white has the latest it has been a very sombre day here and bradford, the day where the four men who lost their lives, police watchdog, they have released the

names of the four men who died,. all four name came from the local bradford area. injust all four name came from the local bradford area. in just to all four name came from the local bradford area. injust to remind you what happened, it is around 530 yesterday morning, when a police car and unmarked police car, found in travelling at speed, it was a bmw the police pursued it for a minute and that is when the accident happened. it hit the tree which is behind me, which is a bit of a shrine to the family and friends laying flowers and also being set at the scene today. they have said that tonight, it is a very complex fast—moving investigation. they have been supporting the families of the dead man, helping them come to terms with what is obviously a terrible tragedy. there's also been house to house inquiries to see it anyway has

a cctv pictures which may give some clues as to what exactly happened. there is also been a little bit of criticism of the police, because it is set at one point, that they thought the unmarked police car came into direct contact with a bmw. the investigation so far has said that was not the case. so it is a fast—moving investigation, and obviously things continue here and people continue to mourn the loss of four men. the headlines on bbc news... as theresa may meets french president emmanuel macron for brexit talks in france — bank of england governor mark carney warns about the risk of a brexit no deal. the names have been released of four men who died when their car crashed into a tree in bradford while being pursued by police. jeremy corbyn tonight says driving anti semitism out of the labour party for good is his priority sport now, and for a full round up,

from the bbc sport centre, here's lizzie were going to start with cricket, is starting for a thrilling finish, then he another 84 runs to win, they close on 110 to five with the captain again, proving a thorn in england's side. 43, patrick reports. suchis england's side. 43, patrick reports. such is the urgent rhythm of this test with its twisting and turning compelling storylines providing some of the best drama since. and it's pulled and the biggest selling day that the english batsmen could've done. when he got keep ten to set a web forjoe, they found the catcher around the corner. now caught in the slip, johnny caught in the slips,

ben stokes you know the rest. all out and we had not yet reached the interview. what that escalated quickly, only 99 runs ahead with only four second innings, which leaves something remarkable even by the standards of this test to get out of this one. the youngest player on the team had seen enough, sam: in the second match took four wickets yesterday, and i'll be sitting crucial runs, past this first test 50, england's lead was 193. and the sword of atmosphere that he thrived on all his career. then, ten minutes later, he claimed two. the challenge was brought on by the broad shoulders of ben stokes, three down! and as the evening drew on, he makes one, who else but:! they lost

another wicked, but they have their own hero, the captain and superstar who survive. 84 runs are needed, this incredible drama has another cliffhanger. laura has marked her return to competition with pursuit in the european championships, katie, the date brushed aside italy for the first british court in any sport of these multi—event games, it is there a love of. the first metal of the day came that the 10k stretch race, and to complete the full set, the men's team pursuit after germany, italy took the bold added switzerland. swimming also got under way today, the finals this afternoon in the first metal hannah took

par, still has not dropped a shot and four birdies, to take her to nine under par for tie for second place, five shots off the pace, but the shot of the day so far came from canada's brooke henderson, she got a hole on the part 39. one bounce and and it went, straight and. that's all this but for now, half past ten, join us then. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has addressed the controversy surrounding allegations of anti—semitism in the party. in an article for the guardian, mr corbyn admitted labour had ‘a real problem' but said he was determined to ‘root out‘ anti—semitism. tonight, one of his backbenchers, ian austin, said warned the article would only make matters worse. i've been speaking to our political correspondent, susana mendonca if you look at the wording on it, he

talks about rooting out anti—semites, how they do not speak for him. but acknowledges that the process has been too slow, and it hasn't gone fast enough. he talks about how the party is going to deal with that, trying to speed up the process , with that, trying to speed up the process, but the key sticking point really is the issue of the code of conduct, because his critics say that labour have not taken on the full exa m ples that labour have not taken on the full examples set out in the international code. labour disagrees with that and jeremy corbyn does address it in this article, he talks about how it was an attempt in good faith, to contextualize the code of conduct so it would be something that would be usable within labour's disciplinary process. certainly, the fa ct disciplinary process. certainly, the fact that he has talks about overhauling that conduct and they still talking about being something that's being looked at him being reviewed, the labour mp said been pretty critical and austin for example is one of the two mps that

is currently being investigated by the party because of the following disagreements they had over this code of conduct for various labour figures, and they basically said that two quotes that, the best quote of it, when you are in a whole, you should stop digging. that is what he said tojeremy corbyn ended this the same old rhetoric. and so, i do not thinkjeremy corbyn has achieved what he was intending to do. because it looks like a lot of people with the jewish community is it looks like a lot of people with thejewish community is still, still don't think he is doing enough. the youngest woman to be convicted of plotting a terror attack on british soil, has been jailed for life with a minium of 13 years. safaa boular, who's now 18, planned to carry out a gun and grenade attack on the british museum. her mother and sister have already been jailed for their part in a plot. another study has highlighted the danger of one of london's most pressing problems. the research has found a link between pollution and heart disease. regular exposure to even low levels may cause symptoms

similar to the early stages of heart failure. those living near busy roads were found to be most at risk, as bbc london's environment correspondent tom edwards reports pollution levels in london have been called a public health scandal. now there's further research that shows how it affects our bodies, especially our hearts. a yoga teacher from maidenhead, she was born with heart disease. and she can tell when she comes into london for work. as soon as i walk into london, getting off that train, i instantly feel like there's this cloud of smoke and i instantly get breathless and trying to catch my breath and when i'm trying to walk and a notice, if it's a busy road, subconsciously, i'm already placing my hand

by my nose just to avoid breathing anything in. researchers examined the data from 4000 people. they found that there was a clear link between those living near loud busy roads, and changes to the ventricles in the heart. changes similar to the early stages of heart failure. there are some things you can do so, walking on a side road rather than a main road and during your commute, getting out of your car and walking and cycling wherever that's possible. obviously, that's not always possible. so there are some steps we can take, but ultimately, people shouldn't have to be living in areas with high pollution. so, we actually need a reduction in the levels across the country full stop. some people have asthma through bad air... the mayor has made cleaning up london areas priority. he's already trying to clamp down on polluting vehicles with the introduction of an ultralow emissions zone next april. older diesels already pay a charge in central london. but experts say more action will be needed. the mayor is to be congratulated

for that, i still doubt whether they're going to remove, be able to remove the current toxic diesel fleet from the road. i don't see any evidence that people willjust stay get rid of their old diesels. until that happens, i don't think we're going to be able to reduce exposure by very much. as the evidence grows of the harm pollution is doing, those behind the reports state governments and public bodies must act now to make all cities safe and to protect the population. while britain basks in summer heat, travellers heading for europe are preparing for near record—breaking temperatures. the highest ever recorded on the continent was 48 degrees celcius, in athens more than 40 years ago. portugal is forecast to sizzle at over 47 this weekend, while parts of spain have been well into the mid 40s today. sima kotecha reports from cordoba in southern spain.

a city exhausted by the heat. in monduro, there is little movement today. and the sweltering conditions are having an impact on the younger and older generations. translation: i drink a lot of water. i go to the swimming pool and i have a siesta in the afternoon. translation: old people do not go out, between three and half six or seven in the evening here. you will see nobody on the streets. everyone is at home with their fan and these days, air conditioning. if you can afford it. temperatures here have been the highest in the country over the last few days. with the gauge peaking at 45 degrees yesterday. an hour or so away in cordoba, in the southern region of andalusia, there is concern about those who are visiting. of course, people coming to cordoba, they want to see everything, they want to visit all the places

in cordoba, but they are not used to these temperatures, so, it is ok if they are inside the places, but do not walk around in the midday, it is dangerous for them. of course, summers in this part of the world are hot, but this heat is exceptional. most of it is down to the hot air coming in from northern africa and stagnating over the iberian peninsula. that, in turn, could affect conditions in the uk. the great mosque dominates the centre of this city. its ancient heritage, an intricate detail that attracts tourists from across the world. for those from britain, the torrid weather is unbearable. we just feel like we are absolutely melting. it is so hot, i think we are just kind of dodging the sun and trying to find some shade, get some ice creams, trying to stay hydrated, it is absolutely boiling. we just got in the car, put on the air con, we had just travelled for an hour.

we will get back into the car soon. is that ice cream cooling you down a bit? yeah. yeah? in neighbouring portugal, it has also been intense, with similar temperatures. it is often said that britons like complaining about the weather, but now it seems even the spanish are catching the habit. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. scorching hot day in the southeast today, temperatures got up to 33 degrees and we've got a very warm weekend on the way also around 30 degrees and for most of us, it is going to be sunny, a little bit of cloud here and there, maybe a few spots of rain but that it's pretty

much it. it is going to be very warm, temperatures in the south could be hovering no further than around 19 degrees in london, a little bit fresher and to scotland and northern ireland, a bit fresher and northern ireland, a bit fresher and to scotland and northern ireland, the more comfortable here around ten to 13 degrees. in the tomorrow, scotland and northern ireland in the west, will probably turn a little bit more cloudy to the course of the day, or does the clouds will come and go, and the sunshine will be across central areas and a hot day, we suspect temperatures will get up to shy of 30 degrees in the southeast, but in the north there, around about 19 or so. and fine weekend weather, it continues this sunday in mid next week. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: theresa may meets french president emmanuel macron at his summer retreat on the french riviera as she tries to build support for her post—brexit trade plans. meanwhile, bank of england governor mark carney issues a stark warning.

the possibility of a no—deal is uncomfortably high at this point. the leader of zimbabwe's main opposition party says he's "ready to go to court" to prove vote rigging led to his loss in the presidential elections to emmerson mnangagwa. but the re—elected president insists the process is "free and fair". the four men who died in a car crash during a police pursuit in bradford have been named. the car was followed by officers early thursday morning when it crashed into a tree. labour's leaderjeremy corbyn has restated his commitment to root out anti—semitism in the party. writing in the guardian, he says rebuilding trust with thejewish community was his priority. the sister of a woman who has been missing for more than a week has made an emotional appeal

for help to find her. gemma eastwood broke down in tears as she described her older sister, samantha, as her best friend. the 28—year—old midwife was last seen at the end of her shift at the royal stoke hospital last friday morning. a 32—year—old man arrested in connection with her disappearance has been released on bail while inquiries continue. phil mackie reports. samantha eastwood was described by herfamily as happy, bubbly and smiley and an amazing midwife. today, her sister made a tearful appeal for help tracing her. she's my best friend and partner in crime. without her, half of me is gone. samantha, if you're listening, please get in touch, we all love you and miss you very much. we just need you home where you belong. this was the last confirmed sighting of samantha. she's on the left, leaving work after a night shift at 7:45am

last friday morning. then driving away in her car a few minutes later. she hasn't been seen since. this is where they found samantha's car and her keys were inside her house. neighbours have reported hearing a scream at around 2pm last friday afternoon. police have said that is one of many different lines of inquiry. a 32—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of kidnap has been released under investigation. dozens of officers are involved in the search, and they hope the appeal willjog someone's memory. they are also trying to find samantha's distinctive radley purse, which is missing. samantha was jovial, talking about future plans. there were no concerns about her mental state, so, you know, to disappear isjust totally out of character and that has obviously ramped up the concern from everybody. police have described it as a high—risk missing—person enquiry. friends and family still hope that samantha will return to them soon.

if she is out there or anyone knows where she is, just please get in touch. get her home. phil mackie, bbc news, staffordshire. the number of deaths caused by sepsis in english hospitals has risen to nearly 16,000, an increase of more than a third in two years. campaigners say overcrowded wards and understaffing are majorfactors, but nhs england argues the rise is largely down to greater awareness of the condition. sepsis can be difficult to diagnose because of a wide variety of symptoms, from slurred speech and extreme shivering to muscle pain or severe breathlessness. here's our health editor hugh pym. jessie's enjoying the sunshine with her seven—month—old son theo, but her experience after he was born is hard to forget. despite feeling unwell

after an emergency c—section, she was discharged from hospital. she felt feverish and her wound was infected. but midwives told her not to worry. then back in hospital, on antibiotics, it turned out she had contracted sepsis. i asked the midwife to take him away because i felt, and i know now, not being unwell, i think, "oh gosh, how could any mother do that?", but i asked the midwife, i laid in bed, after asking her to take my son because i didn't want a crying baby, and i said "am i going to die?" sepsis can cause death or organ failure without antibiotics. it's a serious complication which can develop from infections like blood poisoning. if you take this particular hospital here... this health safety expert told me that official data showed that sepsis deaths in english hospitals had gone up more than a third in two years. the biggest thing that's important seems to be the number of staff, doctors per bed is the

most important thing. one of the secondary important things is overcrowding of hospitals. there is greater public awareness of sepsis, as there is across the health service. in fact, nhs england say that because of greaterer recognition by staff, some cases previously diagnosed as other conditions are now correctly recorded as sepsis, and that might be one factor behind the higher number of deaths. campaigners accept that, but they argue there is a complex problem. we've got the very real and current risk of increasing resistance among bacteria to antibiotics, which is going to play a part in, and play an increasing part as time goes on, and added to all of that, we've got the increase in pressure on the nhs. forjessie, sepsis has blighted her early days as a new mum. it's also affected my trust in hospitals. i feel very apprehensive about going on and having my second child. every part of me doesn't want to go to hospital,

i want to stay at home. she says she doesn't want to knock the nhs, but to highlight the pressures facing staff. like others, she want to see urgent action and more resources to tackle sepsis. hugh pym, bbc news. a man from merseyside who threatened an ice cream seller with a samurai sword as children queued nearby has been sentenced to almost three years in prison. liverpool crown court heard jamie tickle swung the sword at nuntaporn watkinson, but missed. he admitted affray and threatening a person with a blade in public. the judge said it caused psychological devastation . our merseyside reporter andy gill has been talking to the woman who confronted her attacker. i have been like i will not sleep for a good week or so.

she's selling ice cream in st helens this afternoon. a business she and her husband have built up since she moved from thailand 14 years ago. enjoy your stay. a working day last month was a little different. as she served three children, a man approached her van. go on! she said she was determined she would not lose her van or her livelihood. you stand your ground at the time. only afterwards, i was feeling sick of what happened. itjust started hitting me then that something like that is really serious and really shocking. armed police arrested tickle hiding behind a bin shortly afterwards.

the court heard he had taken cocaine and had been drinking that day. but thejudge saidwe may never get to the bottom of why he did what he did. judge stephen everett said for him to walk up to an ice cream van with a samurai sword in the middle of the day beggars belief. he caused no physical harm, said thejudge, but did cause psychological devastation. thejudge said he was not sure that the man fully understood the seriousness of what he had done. hejailed him for two years and eight months. this was a dreadful incident that occurred on a busy suburban street in broad daylight in front of a group of children. his actions left this woman and the children who saw what happened terrified. his motives for his actions are still unclear. the court heard that he has a previous conviction for carrying an offensive weapon. his sentence today would have been longer were it not for his guilty pleas. watkinson says today has been one of the hardest since the attack. osama bin laden's mother,

in herfirst interview, has described her son as a good child who was brainwashed and radicalised as a student. alia ghanem said osama bin laden, who was the leader of al-qaeda and masterminded the 9/11 attacks in the us, had fallen in with what she called "a cult" at a university in saudi arabia. she made her claims in an interview with the guardian newspaper's middle east correspondent martin chulov. i spoke to martin and started by asking him about his first impression of osama bin laden's mother. she was a powerful, charismatic, independent woman. i must say i was not expert in that walking into the interview. she had a lot of presence. she controlled the room. she control the conversation. she was very coherent. she joked. she control the conversation. she was very coherent. shejoked. she was very coherent. shejoked. she was lively. she was basically good company. tell us a bit more about

the inside that she gave you about what drove osama bin laden to become the mastermind of this appalling, the mastermind of this appalling, the worst terrorist incident, 9/11. at the start of the conversation, i could have been sticking to any mother who had lost a son anywhere in the world. she was very much akin to her memories of him as a child. she said he was tedious, he was pious, he was polite. he was a mentor to his younger half—brothers and sisters. she said he was almost and sisters. she said he was almost a perfect child and she loved him very much and he did, too. then we get to the university years at a university in saudi arabia and that she believes her son was radicalised bya group she believes her son was radicalised by a group belonging to the muslim brotherhood there. she says of the transformation was slow at the beginning. it became almost a zealotry. he became quite hardened

and distant, still loved her. but when he moved to afghanistan to fight against the russians in the 19805 fight against the russians in the 1980s and then came back to saudi arabia and travelled again, every time he came back, there was a difference in his attitude. last time she saw in net in a knot in kandahar, he was very happy, he threw a party for her, and they had a lot of happy memories together. but after that, there was no contact whatsoever. no messages or phone calls and certainly no visits. but sheiks has seen this transformation from an apparently normal young man into somebody who was a fanatical jihadis. yes, she had. in the early stages of this transformation, it was more a religious zeal. he became more pious, more committed to the faith. he prayed a lot, became a bit more distant. but as the years went on and the contact became even less,

every time a she did see him, she realised he was a man who had transformed away from being pious and a zealot to somebody who would —— had fully embraced the notion of global jihad. —— had fully embraced the notion of globaljihad. and what did she tell you about how as a mother she felt when she realised what he had done? she still finds it difficult to acknowledge that he was personally responsible for directing 9/11. but she does acknowledge that he became ajihadis to, she does acknowledge that he became a jihadis to, somebody who embrace the globaljihad. and she became very upset when she reflects on this. she says to this day, she cannot understand why he threw it away like that. she resents the fact that there were people at university who in her mind were brainwashing her son. she thinks of him more as a victim than an architect of his own fate. and that is very much where her memory of him lies. martin

talking to me a little earlier. it's little more than 50 years since donald campbell lost his life trying to break his own water speed record in the lake district. his jet—powered vessel was travelling at more than 300 miles per hour when it crashed on coniston water. well, bluebird k7 has since been salvaged and painstakingly restored, and is about to take to the water again. lorna gordon has more. the isle of bute in the firth of clyde has never had a visitor like this. bluebird. the jet—engined hydroplane that held seven world records, restored to its former glory in a journey that has taken 17 years. it's all original material, it has been re—repaired and assessed for strength. modern day rivets, all this kind of thing. just a painstaking and thorough rebuild.
