good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: what a waste. new research finds two thirds of plastic containers still can't be recycled as councils call for action. three people die from heatstroke in spain, as record temperatures hit large parts of europe. lawyers for harvey weinstein try to get rape charges thrown out based on emails from one of his accusers. tackling the stigma of autism. for the first time a study examines the stress and isolation facing mums, dads and carers. the first test is in the balance after england bowl themsleves back into the game, but they still need to deal with india captain virat kohli. good morning. our weather is looking hot and sunny towards the south—east but it will look like cloudy for north—western parts of the country where temperatures should be closer to normal. talking about temperatures, we will also be looking at the extreme heat across spain and portugal. more details coming up in the next 15 minute. it's saturday 4th august.

our top story — the majority of household plastic waste is still ending up in landfill despite efforts to increase the amount we recycle. the local government association says manufacturers are to blame, as the types of plastics used in many yoghurt pots, ready meal trays and other containers limit the ability of councils to recycle them. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin reports. the costs to the planet are well documented, but local authorities are warning that despite their best efforts to recycle more plastic, they are being let down by manufacturers. while almost all local authorities collect plastic bottles for recycling, around a quarter refuse to collect otherfood packaging because of the way it is manufactured. the rest ends up here in landfill. it seems totally unfair that the burden of an recyclable plastic, the cost of dealing with that lands with the council taxpayer, when actually manufacturers could do much more to make sure that these plastics are easily recyclable,

reducing the cost for council taxpayers and making it easier and better for the environment. while plastic bottles are easy to recycle, their lids aren't and are not always collected. not all local authorities collect margarine tubs, food trays and yoghurt pots, because of the mix of polymers that make it difficult to recycle. even fewer authorities accept black microwave meal trays because black plastic cannot be easily and sorted. the plastics industry has hit back, saying that with 300 different recycling schemes out there, it is no wonder the public is confused. they believe it is down to local authorities to simplify and standardise the protest. but the lga says that if manufacturers are not willing to make a change, they should face a charge to chip in towards the cost of collecting and disposing the products which some councils can't. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. three people in spain have died from heatstroke as the southern

european heatwave continues. a red weather warning, indicating a threat to life, has been issued in several countries, including in france where authorities are urging holidaymakers to stay out of the midday sun. in portugal, police have introduced a "zero tolerance" policy on barbeques to lower the risk of forest fires. theresa may has met with french president emmanuel macron as she tries to win backing for her brexit plans. the prime minister cut short her holiday in italy to meet with mr macron at his summer residence in the south of france. our political correspondent tom barton has the details — hejoins us from our london newsroom. i suppose it is how this meeting is interpreted, in terms if she has cut her holiday short, emmanuel macron keen to be seen as a strong voice for the eu, theresa may trying to avoid a no deal. that is absolutely right. although we don't know a whole amount of what went on in the

meeting, i can tell you what they had to dinner. they had time flavoured seabass, had to dinner. they had time flavoured sea bass, followed had to dinner. they had time flavoured seabass, followed by chicken, followed by a dark chocolate creme brulee. as for what was said, neither number ten normal the french are giving us any details. we do know that the prime minister kutcher at her italian —— prime minister cut short her holiday to a cce pt prime minister cut short her holiday to accept this invitation because she wants to express the british case directly to the french president and to other european leaders because the british government is concerned that the eu's official negotiator, michel barnier, is at explaining it in the way the government would like. at least we got the menu. thank you very much. the hollywood producer harvey weinstein is trying to have criminal charges against him thrown out of court. his lawyers say a series of emails that show he was in a consensual relationship with one of the women he's accused of raping weren't shown to a jury during the early

stages of his case. the movie mogul has pleaded not guilty to six charges involving three different women. from new york, paul blake reports. he was once the most famous film producer in hollywood. but outrage over harvey weinstein‘s alleged crimes have left him infamous and kicked off the me too movement, leading many women to speak out against sexual misconduct in the workplace. mr weinstein has already appeared in court accused of sexually assaulting three women, which he denies. but now, his lawyer is trying to get the whole case thrown out, saying in part that the jury has not been told the full story. the defence says that dozens of emails, dating from weeks up to four years after an alleged rape in 2013 that were exchanged between weinstein and an accuser, show that they had a long—term, consensual, intimate relationship, and at no point reference an assault. they say that these emails should have been shown to the grand jury so they could make an informed decision before they brought charges against him. his defence team is attempting to have the other charges thrown out of court on technical grounds. mr weinstein‘s lawyers claim some

charges are not detailed enough and they weren't sufficiently notified about others. they also claimed the case was rushed to court under pressure from politicians and the media, as actresses like gwenyth paltrow lined up to say that he had behaved inappropriately with them. harvey weinstein was once a hollywood heavy hitter, but now, with a charge that could see him locked away for life, and nearly 100 women publicly accusing him, fame has turned to infamy. the home secretary has described forced marriage as a despicable practice and has promised that the government will increase its efforts to prevent it from happening in the

future. sajid javid's pledge comes after it was found that his department had granted visas to the husbands of british women forced to marry abroad. charities accusing the home office of turning a blind eye to the practice. 0ur correspondence and tell us a little more. explain a little more about the home secretary's comments. yes, he made these comments in a series of twitter posts, he said that forced marriage is despicable, inhumane and an uncivilised practice that has no place in britain. they come after a times newspaper investigation, looking at the numbers of people try to block visas for their foreign spouses coming up to the uk. they found last year there were 90 such cases and though dominic even though people were trying to block those visas, more than half were still issued. talking about countries like

pakistan, india, bangladesh and united arab emirates. 0ne charity did say that immigration officials we re did say that immigration officials were turning a blind eye over these cases, are sensitivities of cultural and religious sensitivities. but the home atlas —— home office has categorically denied that and sajid javid sent a stark message that anyone involved in this will be —— that the home office will be doubling its efforts to bring them to justice. confectionery giant mars has removed millions of pounds worth of advertising from youtube after its brands appeared before music videos glamorising violence. a mars spokesperson said the video placement breached their brand safety guidelines and they were now taking action to remove all advertising on youtube. last year mars spent £5 million advertising on the video sharing site. behaviour amongst rival heart surgeons at a south london hospital has been described as ‘toxic‘, ‘tribal‘ and could have contributed to an increase in patient deaths.

a leaked report into lower than expected survival rates at st george's said that the heart unit was consumed by "a dark force" and strong leadership was needed in the department to turn it around. a spokesperson from the hospital said the surgery service was safe, but that urgent and major improvements were required. the record—breaking hydroplane ‘bluebird' will take to the water for the first time in more than half a century this morning. the high speed boat arrived on the isle of bute for tests yesterday. a team of enthusiasts has spent the past seventeen years restoring the craft, which crashed at more than 300 miles per hour in the lake district in 1967, killing its pilot donald campbell. the time now is ten minutes past seven. all of the weather and the sport coming up for you a little later on. we're constantly being reminded to recycle our waste, whether that be in our workplaces, at home or even out on the street, but it seems the message is only partially getting through. there's some good news.

99% of plastic bottles are now recycled, but around two thirds of all other food packaging still ends up in landfill, according to the local government association. they claim it's the responsibility of manufacturers to put this right. but the plastics industry say consumers are confused by more than 300 different recycling schemes being operated by local authorities around the uk. jayne mccubbin has been to find out more. take this. i want you all to have a little rummage. tell me what you can recycle out of this lot? little rummage. tell me what you can recycle out of this lot7|j little rummage. tell me what you can recycle out of this lot? i would put everything at the toghurt pots. all of the plastic insert. these are definitely recyclable. of the plastic insert. these are definitely recyclablelj of the plastic insert. these are definitely recyclable. i wouldn't think it was. this plastic. can you put that in your brown bin? where do you live? greater manchester? cannot put it in yours recycling box! if

you live just over the put it in yours recycling box! if you livejust over the border put it in yours recycling box! if you live just over the border in cheshire you could do that, you could recycle everything. why a close act by don't understand. could recycle everything. why a close act by don't understandm doesn't really make sense of. there isa doesn't really make sense of. there is a sense in it. did you know that actually a lot of authorities don't accept black plastic? why? it is plastic! be that it is really difficult for the scanners to see it. maybe they need to be a bit more clear on what you can do and what you can't do. joining us now from our london newsroom is keith freegard, vice chairman of the british plastic federation recycling group. very good morning to you. could you establish the british plastics federation, what is that? it is the uk's leading association for the whole of the plastic industry and that includes people making polymers, converting plastics into products and i am in the section of the association which is all the

leading recyclers in the uk who are currently recycling anything from plastics from motor vehicles to the plastics from motor vehicles to the plastic packaging which is collected from households in the uk. some of your members, those who make this plastic products, are involved for example, in making those black packages, people are familiar with microwave meals, which we understand the vast majority cannot be recycled. so why are they making them? well, i think there was a move to try and mark particular food products as being premium products and marketing people moved towards using a black colour to indicate that it might be the top of the range product. and therefore, those have gone onto the market and the designers the tax used a colour to make the tax black, are for surely those designers at the time didn't realise that when those arrived in

the recycling factory after it had been separated by consumers, the black dye is not able to be seen by the sorting scanners in the recycling plant. so that does need to change. so the logical thing you might think that could happen next is that those companies that you represent would turn around to the manufacturers and say let's not do these in black any more. let's change that because it cannot be dealt with, why hasn't that happened? it is happening at the moment. i have been sitting in groups of people trying to find ways to sort the packages which are more difficult. but i think the reason that there has not been such a rapid switch over to much more recyclable packs is because at the moment a manufacturer or a brand who puts on the market something that is designed to be very easy to recycle, for example take this. this is a very well—known plastic milk

bottles, i am sure we have one or two in ourfridge. clear bottles, i am sure we have one or two in our fridge. clear plastic. the cap comes away very easily and this is recognised as an excellent design for recycling. the people who make this pack will have to pay money into the uk's system in order to prove that they have theirs recycled. but some packages, this is a pot that i took from my fridge. these have dark dyes in them and they are not so easy to recycle. at they are not so easy to recycle. at the moment, there is no fiscal or monetary system in the uk that makes designers go for the really good to recycle designs and those who make tax that are less easy to recycle, to me they should be paying more money into the system. that would create a driver to drive people was good package design there. it is an interesting point, because eve ryo ne it is an interesting point, because everyone has a shared responsibility. you could argue that

consumers, if people said en masse we will not buy those dyed containers, obviously the manufacturers, the big stores and food manufacturers, would change that, because they would have to do. the other way to do it is if those companies that make the plastic products made a decision that we will not make them on the basis it is unethical because it can't be got rid of, it is bad, they would have to change it as well. there are various places where the pressure could be put. it feels like your members, the people who make the plastics, are kind of absorbing themselves of responsibility. it is eitherfor themselves of responsibility. it is either for the themselves of responsibility. it is eitherfor the consumer themselves of responsibility. it is either for the consumer or the food manufacturers to make those decisions. we arejust manufacturers to make those decisions. we are just caught in the middle. ethically, that is not a very strong position to be in, is a? it is not necessarily an ethical decision. i think what we have to look at here is, this is a complete system. it is quite complicated. at one end we have willing householders

who voluntarily sorting their packs in their homes and deciding what is the right thing to put into the recycling bin and what should not be placed in the recycling bin. they need clearer labelling and instructions and assembler, uniform system across the country. they pass it on to the local councils. local councils have a duty and a responsibility in the system to make sure that they all offer a very similar system and minimise confusion across the country. and then as we go through the sorting pla nts then as we go through the sorting plants and get material back to the pack designers, the pack designers, brand leaders and retailers need to be moving towards many more packs, which are designed to give a high yield of easy to recycle products. so there is kind of big picture and small picture. if you have a yoghurt pot in yourfridge, small picture. if you have a yoghurt pot in your fridge, along with your mushrooms... there is no milk in our house any more, because i have

stolen the bottle! so you eat one of those yoghurt from a yoghurt pot, what do you do with the yoghurt pot? i clean my yoghurt pot out using some washing—up liquid that has already been used to clean the plates, and then i carefully clean off the paper label if it has been made, so the paper label has been removed, and i place it in the recycling bin because in my area, in ealing, they are happy to receive plastics, especially if it has been well prepared for recycling by a diligent consumer like myself. and there is the problem, we are hearing from some consumers that in some places that is not the case. it is good to talk to you. here is chris with a look at this morning's weather. it is hot, it is still hot for us. at least it is not, though, as hot as it is in europe. yes, for sure.

we have been watching this heatwave build an iberia in the last few days, with temperatures rising. yesterday's high of 46 celsius in spain look set to be passed in portugal, that is where the hottest air is working its way in, highs of 47 celsius later today. that will challenge the national record. the current mark to beat is a7.4dc. we mightjust current mark to beat is a7.4dc. we might just sneak underneath current mark to beat is a7.4dc. we mightjust sneak underneath the spanish and all—time european record, it might not the hot enough to break these two, but it will get really close. we will have to see how the weather pans out this afternoon. either way, dangerously hot weather and we could see some wild fires breaking out as well. for us, a wild fires breaking out as well. for us, a warm wild fires breaking out as well. for us, a warm enough start to the day, we don't have hit on the scale the spanish and the portuguese are having to put up with. what we do haveis having to put up with. what we do have is an area of high pressure. moist air is coming around the top of this high, which in turn makes all this cloud rolled into the north

and west of the uk. for quite a few of us, a cloudy day, isolated showers for northern ireland, the western isles and the highlands, otherwise a dry day. a lot of high cloud in the sky. even across southern england there will be some high cloud making the sunshine rather hazy. nevertheless, temperatures climbing into the mid to high 20s widely. we could reach 30 in the hottest areas. further north, a bit more cloud developing through the day across the midlands, wales and northern england. for northern ireland in scotland, much of the day will be cloudy but right. a few showers working in the western scotla nd a few showers working in the western scotland and we could see some more general rain pushing in here later in the day. looking at the weather picture through the evening and overnight, we are expecting some rainfor overnight, we are expecting some rain for the western isles, the highlands and the northern isles as well. away from that, a dry night with some clear spells. temperatures, although not quite as high as they were last night, still quite warm in london, with temperatures only slowly drifting down to about 16 degrees. fresher

conditions in the north and west. for sunday a decent day of weather coming up with plenty of sunshine around the england and wales. northern ireland, again quite cloudy. cloudy for scotland. with further showers, so more general rain pushing in here later in the day, turning quite heavy as we head towards sunday evening. temperature—wise, as you work, really, low 20s and height the north and west. we still have that warm air across more southern parts. looking at sunday night, some wet weather moving across scotland and northern ireland, bringing useful rain. some of that will begin to edge its way into northern england, and this area of cloud and rain really heralds the change in the weather which will slowly bring some cooler conditions southwards across the uk as we go through the next few days of the week ahead. rain the north—west england, dry and warm across the south, with temperatures around 31 degrees but those temperatures easing in the week ahead. that is how the weather is looking. back to you. last month, new zealand became only the second country in the world to introduce paid time off work for people

escaping domestic violence. politicians introducing the new law say that it gives victims the chance to move house, settle children in new schools, and avoid abusers appearing at their workplace. there are now calls for similar measures to be introduced here in the uk. we are joined by rochelle siviter, who has experienced domestic abuse, and katie ghose, the chief executive of women's aid, is in our london newsroom. very good morning to you both. tell us very good morning to you both. tell usa very good morning to you both. tell us a little bit about your story, what was your experience? us a little bit about your story, what was your experience ?|j us a little bit about your story, what was your experience? i was a successful young woman, i lived to city life, and by the age of 205! got involved in a relationship which quickly deteriorated. by the end of an18 quickly deteriorated. by the end of an 18 month period i had a newborn baby, i was homeless —— 2005. i had been a victim of sexual violence, attempted trafficking and an attempt attempted trafficking and an attempt at forced marriage as well. while

all this was happening, over a period of 18 months, while you were at work, whether any visible signs? you said you a victim of violence, was it easy or possible to know, four colleagues, that you are going through something awful? yes, i think when you turn up to work and you are covered in bruises, your personality changes, you are very frightened of things, you are not going out as much as you used to, but i know now that my work knew everything that was happening, because it was so severe in such a short space of time it was very difficult. so you were not helped by work at all at that point. what difference would something like this law which has been introduced in new zealand have made to you? this is such a big step, as far as i am concerned. it is about the recognition. i don't necessarily know whether the ten days is the best thing, but it is the recognition that people need some time and some space, and we need

that as victims in order to be able to do functional things as a victim, but also to be able to carry on our jobs when all of those functional things have been seen to. it is a huge change, and i really wish the uk would adopt it as well. let's talk the katie. when you hear it laid out like that, and that story will be replicated, many stories like it, what is the reason for not bringing in something like this? is there a coherent case for not doing it? there is no reason at all. it is so it? there is no reason at all. it is so powerful to hear your story. we wa nt so powerful to hear your story. we want employers to take the step, we wa nt want employers to take the step, we want the government to introduced the entitlement to paid leave, but you use the word recognition. the paid leave can make a real difference to someone who is perhaps having to flee an abusive relationship, giving them that breathing space to get their life back on track, but it also sends out a signal to employers that there is all kinds of other practical support they can offer. we help employers

just with a bit of awareness and knowledge about what domestic abuse is, that it is emotional and not just physical abuse. simple things, p°ppin9 just physical abuse. simple things, p°pping up a just physical abuse. simple things, popping up a poster, and awareness raising poster in your office. make sure that your line managers are trained, perhaps they can spot some of the warning signs, absences and lateness from work, and by making gentle enquiry, you might discover someone gentle enquiry, you might discover someone is having a terrible time in an abusive relationship and you might be able to do something practical to support them. you used the phrase gentle enquiry. there is a fine the phrase gentle enquiry. there is afine line, the phrase gentle enquiry. there is a fine line, isn't there, between your bosses or your employer interfering, poking their nose into your life, and also the fact that people who are being abused are often too frightened, too scared, to speak up about this. so how do you break those barriers down, and how do you get to the point where it is so do you get to the point where it is so open? it is more than a poster, isn't it, to be able to say i am

being abused, i need help, iwant some time. that's right. we can all do our bit to make a workplace a safe place for somebody to feel in time that they might be able to open up time that they might be able to open up about what they are experiencing in an abusive relationship, so this is about bringing domestic abuse out of the shadows and more into the open. but, with a bit of awareness raising and confidence building, we can help managers who, after all, should be used to exploring other confidential issues with their employees, to do the right thing, and to encourage somebody, if they are able, to start to talk about an abusive relationship. where do you see the potential... i know you are saying in principle it is something you think is a good idea. the practicalities of this, i mean, how do you see that working? that first conversation with an employer, for example, where you have to tell them something very personal, which to be honest they may or may not believe, accept, do they ask for evidence? it

is quite quickly very difficult, albeit that what you are trying to achieve is the right thing. businesses still have the function. employees still have to do their day—to—day work. however, victims of domestic abuse are really in a position a lot of the time of life 01’ position a lot of the time of life or death. so it isn't a case of let's not interfere. sometimes that interference could save somebody‘s life. particularly myself, as a young female, i didn't know where to turn, and! young female, i didn't know where to turn, and i was looking for almost a surrogate family in my workplace, because my family had been alienated, and a needed somebody to show me and help me decide what was right and wrong, and how i could help myself get safe, and i didn't get any of that, and i worked in the law firm, so there was really no excuse. we didn't have anything available to us at the time to show me that information. i am just trying to picture that situation. i suppose when you are saying is, better to ask the question is

everything 0k, though not ask it at all. is that what you mean? yes. i think you will find in many situations people around victims of domestic abuse will often recognise what is going on before you are perhaps ready to tell somebody. but we can certainly have things in place which make that more co mforta ble place which make that more comfortable and more possible for people to ask for help. when they ask, with a bit of dignity and a bit of respect, and people are open to be able to help, i think that is the main difference. thank you for your time this morning. parents of autistic children face a range of challenges, now for the first time a team of researchers are looking into how misconceptions and negative stereotypes about the condition affects the mental health of mums, dads and carers. simon dedman has been to meet one group of carers to hear about their experiences. for these autistic children, understanding and managing their emotions will be a battle for the rest of their lives.

for their parents, nurturing and raising them through their school years, it is a difficult challenge. he's unique. he's different to everyone else. he'sjust him, and he's — but he is hard work. we've had people shout at us and swear at us in the street, but we just sort of ignore them, and just get on with — let him have his meltdowns, as long as he is not hurting anyone. sort him out and then carry on what we are doing. sorting out their children's special educational needs is an additional pressure. to make sure that he has structure from the school and home. and you work together as a partnership, because if you don't there's a breakdown, and you have got a potential child that is to be in crisis a lot of the time. parents with autistic children face

many obstacles and even getting their children diagnosed and assessed, getting support in school. and the provision really varies. now, the university of that bedfordshire is looking into the psychological impact on parents caring for autistic children. the mother who organises these events for families with autistic children believes this study could improve understanding of what they and their children go through. it can be different for families, particularly in the school holidays, to find somewhere that their child to feel safe, or to go out and enjoy family activities. there are different things that affect families that perhaps the general public are not aware of. and what are the kids plans for the rest of the holidays? i'll be doing holiday clubs, like, gymnastics holiday clubs. playing in my pyjamas all day. brilliant, what you end up doing in your pyjamas? nothing. nothing, just sat in your pyjamas? yes. researchers found that parents of autistic children often experience feelings of stress and isolation. it is hoped the study will lead to new ways to support them and help

them cope with the stigma and pressure they can face. simon dedman, bbc news. stay with us. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. two thirds of household plastic waste is still ending up in landfill sites despite efforts to increase the amount we recycle. the local government association says manufacturers are to blame and are calling on the government to consider banning low—grade plastics used in many food containers because they can't be recycled. ministers say recycling rates are rising, but they've acknowledged there's "much more to do". it seems totally unfair that the burden of an recyclable plastic, the cost of dealing with that lands with the council taxpayer, when actually manufacturers could do much more to make sure that these plastics are easily recyclable, reducing the cost for council taxpayers and making it easier and better for the environment. three people in spain have died from heatstroke as the southern european heatwave continues.

a red weather warning, indicating a threat to life, has been issued in several countries, including in france where authorities are urging holidaymakers to stay out of the midday sun. in portugal, police have introduced a "zero tolerance" policy on barbeques to lower the risk of forest fires. harvey weinstein's lawyers have filed a motion to have the criminal case against him dismissed. his lawyers have told a judge in new york that dozens of emails exchanged by mr weinstein and an accuser up to four years after an alleged rape, show that the two had a long—term, consensual relationship. he denies all the charges against him. earlier on breakfast entertainment attorney jonathan handel cast doubt on how far weinstein lawyers will get with this appeal. but here there is some duty in new york, unlike most states, to present evidence of innocents, but this isn't really that.

this is evidence that may undermine the testimony of one of the women, mainly, but doesn't really negate the question of whether a sexual assault happened. sexual conduct with force. it's very unlikely, highly unlikely that we see the charges dropped. behaviour amongst rival heart surgeons at a south london hospital has been described as ‘toxic‘, ‘tribal‘ and could have contributed to an increase in patient deaths. a leaked report into lower than expected survival rates at st george's said that the heart unit was consumed by "a dark force" and strong leadership was needed in the department to turn it around. a spokesperson from the hospital said the surgery service was safe, but that urgent and major improvements were required. confectionery giant mars has removed millions of pounds worth of advertising from youtube after its brands appeared before music videos glamorising violence. a mars spokesperson said the video placement breached their brand safety guidelines and they were now

taking action to remove all advertising on youtube. last year mars spent £5 million advertising on the video sharing site. a massive dust storm has passed through phoenix in arizona. a thick cloud blanketed the city on thursday evening with winds exceeding 60 miles per hour. several homes were destroyed and thousands were left without power. the national weather service said the storm was 70 miles wide and 5,000 feet high. dramatic because there. it looks like an armageddon movie, end of the world. —— pictures. john has got a sport for us. is it as dramatic as those pictures? it could be. these tests have everything, and england colla pse tests have everything, and england collapse of an eight youngster hauling england back into it. the first test will be decided later and it could still go either way. england had youngster sam curran to thank for setting

india a competitive total to chase. some huge hitting taking make a maiden test fifty. india need 194 to win, they'll resume on 110 for 5 after england and james anderson made some important breakthroughs yesterday. much will rely on captain virat kohli who's still at the crease on 43 not out having made a century in the first innings. i have been encouraged the way i have bowled so far, found the edge a few times in the first innings. on another day i could have got him for 20 and then we are not talking about how brilliant he is, we could be in a much different position now, but that is not the case and we have just got to go away and know that he is someone, no one is invincible in world cricket, we can get him out and we'll be trying to do that in the morning. he said it was a possibility,

now andy murray has pulled out of his washington 0pen quarter—final, saying he's exhausted. his last match against marius copil didn't finish until after 3am local time yesterday which left murray slumped in his chair in tears. he's spent more than eight hours on court over the past four days and said he needs to listen to his body. he posted that? yeah, he posted that. he said he was boring? he has a very dry sense of humour and clearly that is him showing it. what are the sport goes on until three a.m.? tennis is are the sport goes on until three a.m. ? tennis is probably one of the only ones. it is ridiculous. they had some rain. you cannot expect people. three o'clock is very late,

it happens on occasion in the australian open. laura kenny makes it look easy, doesn't she? new mum in august last year, back competing in march, and now another gold to add to her collection. it came in the women's team pursuit at the european championships in glasgow. our sports correspondent joe wilson has more. laura kenny, wife of jason, mother of albie. back on track. briatin's greatest female 0lympian was part of the team in glasgow, with three others. collective victory. italy crossing the line over two seconds behind. gold is familiar, succeeding as a mum is different. sometimes when people ask me this, it sounds like i am moaning, i dont get sleep, but i wouldn't change it to the world. he is absolutely everything to me and i want him to have the experiences and him to be able to travel the world. three british cycling medals so far, after ten kilometres for emily kay, the difference between gold and silver was this. meanwhile it was just a few miles for miley at the swimming. there is the reception for hannah miley, a great

scottish favourite, she has loads of friends in the stands and plenty of rivals in the pool. lane two near the top of the screen for miley, the 400 individual medley kept us gripped, could miley keep in the medals? yes, the third. 0nly gold will do for adam peaty today, quickest to qualify today, but in the slowest time. he promises his a—game for the 100m breast stroke final, which in could meet a world record. james wilby will hope to stay close. here is how you turn a tennis facility for synchronised swimming. now watch out for the pout. russia won both goals yesterday in the new mixed event as well as the duet. as ever in the sport, it is teamwork that makes the dream work, bonnie the mascot knows that. everyone is getting the idea of these european championships. joe wilson, bbc news, glasgow.

isn't that nice? there's a total of 21 medals up for grabs today, don't forget you can follow live coverage of the championships on bbc 1 and 2, and across bbc radio 5 live and sports extra, along with the bbc sport website. there's a good chance of more medals in the cycling, in the pool and in rowing as well today. the new championship season began last night. former england midfielder frank lampard was in the dugout with his new club side derby — and what a dream start to life as a manager. they came from 2—1 down against reading, to win it with 15 seconds of injury time remaining. tom lawrence on the end of that one. and after all the success lampard's had as a player, he said this win was "right up there" with the best moments of his career. for celtic, never before has a scottish team won the treble treble, by lifting the league, the scottish cup and league cup three seasons in a row. but that's the challenge facing brendan rodgers side as they begin at home against newly—promoted livingston. celtic are bidding to win

the scottish premiership title for the eighth year in a row. as the champions it is ourjob to notjust defend, but go and win again. it is the same idea, we want to develop the squad, that is more of our goals for this year. we want to develop the work that we have already put in over these last couple of years, the development of players. i always think when you work with individuals and teams then there is always room for improvement. england's georgia hall is just one shot off the lead at the halfway stage of the women's british open. she's yet to drop a shot at royal lytham this week and four more birdies took her to nine—under—par, as she looks for her first major title. but canada's brooke henderson hit the shot of the day. a hole—in—one on the 9th. and won a case of sparkling wine, which she gave to the reporters at her post—round press conference. it looks a bit stingy by comparison

toa it looks a bit stingy by comparison to a car. daniel ricciardo has caused quite the stir in the f1 drivers' market, by leaving red bull tojoin renault. the australian has been with red bull for his whole career but he said it was time for a fresh challenge. he's expected to be replaced by carlos sainz or pierre gasly. that would be nice, rock at to one of those. not good on speed bumps, great cornering this topic —— great cornering. 7:a1am is the time. the start of august means we're in the peak of the summer festival season. there are events taking place in fields and parks across the country this weekend but only one with the magic

the news. there is a special tent where you can become a presenter, and naga, i know you wanted to be a presenter when you were younger, so if you come here you might be able to give it a go. i still do! come here and give it a try, you will be brilliant. i can get some presenter training. we still have a little time, joining in is important, a very important thing. apparently it is all to do with the fact there are five of them. it is not going to work. it is the symmetry, isn't it? he had that worked out in advance. it is very hot in mainland europe. it is very hot in mainland europe. it is very hot in mainland europe. it is very hot here in the uk as well. chris, you are going to cover both of those for us. good morning. yes, good morning to you. we have continued to see hot weather in the

uk, but our temperatures have been dwarfed by what is going on in spain and portugal, where we have extreme heat at the moment. temperatures have been building over the last couple of days, 46 degrees yesterday, we will be back today with highs of 47 celsius, the hottest air working in the portugal. this 47 degrees heat is going to threaten the national portugese all—time temperature record, standing at 47.1; degrees, sat 15 yea rs standing at 47.1; degrees, sat 15 years ago. we will get close to the spanish and european records, but we mightjust get spanish and european records, but we might just get under these, spanish and european records, but we mightjust get under these, the portuguese record looks to be the one most under threat. we could see wildfires breaking out in portugal as the heat triggers isolated thunderstorms. looking at our weather picture today, some warm sunshine to come, hot sunshine even across parts of southern and eastern england. further north and west, quite a cloudy day. the reason for thatis quite a cloudy day. the reason for that is we have our area of high pressure sat to the west of the uk. we are dragging in moist airfrom

the atlantic, bringing quite a bit of cloud into the west of the country. for northern ireland, scotland, western parts of england and wales and northern england, it will often be quite cloudy but bright and sunny spells coming through at times. the best of the sunshine will be further south and we are looking at plenty of hazy sunshine across southern england, with the south midlands and east anglia seeing the highest temperatures, pushing well up into the high 20s, perhaps reaching the 30 degrees mark in the hottest areas. a bit of cloud bubbling up for the midlands but for northern england, north wales, northern ireland and scotland we will have quite a bit of cloud today. still some bright spells and for the majority of dry day. there will be a passing light shower in northern ireland, you will be unlucky to see that, and a number of showers working into the western isles in the highlands as we go through the day. those showers could merge together to get some wetter weather as we end the day here. a bit of rain to come overnight. elsewhere a dry nightand rain to come overnight. elsewhere a dry night and temperatures not as high as they were last night. more co mforta ble high as they were last night. more comfortable for sleeping but those

temperatures will be quite slow to fall across southern parts of the british isles. it is here that things will be quite uncomfortable for sleeping. in the sunday's forecast, the best of the sunny weather across england and wales, but a dry day for most of us. quite a bit of cloud for scotland and northern ireland, and the threat of some rain moving into western scotla nd some rain moving into western scotland before the end of the day, that could turn out to be quite heavy as well. low 20s in the north, with a high 20s, perhaps nudging the 30 degrees mark in the south, where it is going to be a hot weekend. that is how things are looking. with temperatures like that, you can understand why people are staying home, almost reluctant to go over to the mainland, because it isjust too

hot. we will be back in a few minutes with the headlines. but now, it is time for the travel show. this week we are in south africa. the country marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of former south african president nelson mandela. i will be injohannesburg, finding out how the city is reinventing itself, and visiting one of the most spectacular regeneration projects in africa. it is something that was built for the few, and it's being repurposed now and is finding its feet as something for the many. plus, i will be hotfooting it down to cape town to meet the young ballroom dancers hoping to shape the future of the rainbow nation. i think the amazing thing about seeing the born—free generation, which is, they don't really know how it feels to feel or see segregation. i'm in johannesburg, the largest city in south africa,

as the country celebrates 100 years since the birth of its most famous son, nelson mandela. maboneng has been described as one of the most successful urban renewal projects in the world, a network of coffee shops and street art. artists from south africa and beyond have come to transform the city's buildings, and the revival isn't limited to urban areas. this is another example of an open space that used to be considered dangerous. and this trail runs right through the heart ofjohannesburg, and since its revitalisation, it attracts more than 4,000 visitors each weekend. luckily, the authorities realised

that they needed to getjoburg back on the map. so there's been various initiatives, starting from the city centre, cleaning it up, getting security in place. and the trail is basically the continuation of the process. because you get out of the city centre, you've got this beautiful green land that residents and tourists can use. visitors can see a strong security presence on the trail, and they are encouraged to use a specially created mobile app that can raise the alarm in case of emergency. perhaps the most visible symbol ofjohannesburg's regeneration, though, is in berea, a few miles away. towering over the skyline is the continent's largest residential skyscraper, ponte city. at more than 500 feet tall, with an iconic circular design, ponte offers stunning views overjohannesburg. ponte opened its doors in 1975.

it was built for the top 1% of society. there were saunas, wine cellars. this actually was the first floor of a three—storey apartment. wherever this building finds itself, it has always been very cosmopolitan. during apartheid, the government didn't want black people to partake in certain sectors of the economy. they imported a lot of skills. so what you had was a lot of german engineers mixing with portuguese artisans, anybody like immigrants, expats, coming here and just making a life for themselves. the foreign residents brought with them more liberal values and less regard for the apartheid laws. according to nicholas, the government reacted by cutting off services to the building. as many white residents left for the suburbs, ponte's fortunes declined. no running water, no electricity. now, this is when you hear

the really crazy stories that we were brought up on in johannesburg in the ‘80s and ‘90s, about this building being the place where angels fear to tread, you know? ‘cause quite literally, it was just a horrible place. just no—go territory. exactly. it wasn't until the late 2000s that the building was cleared and renovated. how would you say things have improved now? truth be told, so when my friend told me that now the building is nice, and stuff, i would be like, no, i'm not coming. the day i visited, i was like, damn, i want to come back here. now it is home to a diverse range of people, including migrants from all over africa. this building has been

through hell and back. and to me, ponte signifies, in many ways, the story of a democratic south africa, in terms of trying to find your identity since 1994. it is something that was built for the few. and it has been repurposed now and is finding its feet as something for the many. to end this week, we are in the south of the country in cape town, famed for its spectacular coastline and dramatic landscape. we are on our way to mitchells plain, a township in the suburbs of the city.

in the past, people from areas like this would not have got many opportunities. but things are slowly changing, giving the next—generation the chance for their talents to be recognised. at the neighbourhood dance studio, children aged as young as four are having theirfinal preparations ahead of a prestigious ballroom competition. their footwork is impressive. former dance champion arthurjacobs opened this school specifically to keep the local kids off the streets. this is an area with one of the highest crime rates in the country. every day there's killings, there is drugs, there's guns. and our children lived among that, even in their own environment, in the housing environment, day by day, they lived in it. you take them from the street and you show them something better. you saw the little ones? yes, idid. start with the first step, and you saw the end result. and what is your favourite dance move? the cha—cha.

i saw you rocking the samba earlier. you were doing a good tango earlier, i saw that. dancing is one of the most popular sports in townships, up there with football and boxing. and perhaps more importantly, it is bringing young south africans from all backgrounds together. we try not to go for racism and saying you are black, you are white. we stay clear of that. welcome to the south african dancing championships. we are here at the super series national championship. people have come from all over the country to compete on this dance floor. there is so much excitement in the air. the guys are looking suave, the ladies are looking fabulous, but who will take home those trophies? the competition is fierce.

400 dancers from 27 studios, all hoping that their foxtrots and sambas will lead them to victory. for some of the younger kids from mitchells plain, it is their first year competing. this is when all that hard work pays off. 0h, hey, guys! oh, you guys, you are melting my heart right now! i'm in love with them a little bit, i think. although events like this are now a regular part of the calendar across south africa, it is sobering to remember that not so long ago, under apartheid, it was socially forbidden for black and white couples to do together at a regular part. competitions like this would be unthinkable. i remember when we did ourfirst condition in johannesburg, and we were the only black children

dancing in the competition and we were a corner. i remember being invisible. i remember being a champion, knowing what it means to be a champion, but also not really been recognised. i remember them not knowing my name. but thankfully, things are different for the generation born free of apartheid. i think the amazing thing about seeing the born free generation, which is they don't really know what it feels like to see or feel segregation. we actually see couples that are dancing from two different — you know, a white girl and a black boy dancing together, and i think that's amazing. no—one would deny the country still has some way to go before fulfilling mandela's dream, but in their own small way, step by step, the young hopefuls here in cape town are doing their bit to carry his legacy into the future. sadly, that is all we've got time for this week. join us next time when... mike reports from sarajevo, on a city that is reinventing itself following the balkan war,

which caused so much devastation in the 1990s. normally you might pay extra for a beautiful view of these hills, but for that reason, it was one of the most dangerous spots to be, in this hotel. oh, my goodness. this is tiny. and fancy taking a private plane without breaking the bank balance? we are in the air. kat looks at flight sharing via a day—trip to northern france. until next time, from me, and the rest of the team in south africa, it is goodbye.
