two goals from sergio aguero helped the defending premier league champions, manchester city, beat the fa cup winners, chelsea, to win the community shield. not a great start for chelsea's new manager, maurizio sarri. and laura kenny won her second gold medal at the european championships, and that's great britain's third on the track. it came in the elimination race. she only returned to action in march after the birth of her first child and had already picked up gold in the team pursuit. she only had an hour's sleep because little albie was up all night, their only child. obviously jason is up as well, they are both trying to get him back to sleep. we have this conversation talking about whether or not it's not appropriate but how much fog as we should put on women coming back

temperatures up to 31 in the south—east and generally from the high teens to the low 205. through the evening and overnight, our weather front continues to go south, bringing cloud and patchy light rain and drizzle in southern scotland, north—west england, wales and the south—west and hill fog around. temperatures fresher than the night just gone but still around 18 in london. tomorrow we start with a weather front again london. tomorrow we start with a weatherfront again in london. tomorrow we start with a weather front again in southern scotla nd weather front again in southern scotland and north—west england, wales and south—west england with a few showers. behind it, sunshine and showers, head of it, sunny and hot and tomorrow we could have highs of 32. but that's it for the high temperatures for now because from wednesday our weather front clears from the south—east, leaving fresher conditions. a lot of dry weather but a weather front from the west will introduce rain and that will be moving eastwards through the day, but not much of this will get into the south—east but note the difference in temperatures. on

tuesday, 32. on wednesday in the south—east, we're looking at 24 or 25 and you can see from the colours, the yellow mac rope push the red hot air well into the continent and for the rest of the weekend, it's looking cooler. —— yellow mac rope rope. on saturday we have a deep area of low pressure coming our way and it is that that will bring more significant rain across the uk. let's hope that sticks because we are crying out for rain and nothing happens in the meantime so did spoils it all. can you remember the last time you saw some blue colours on that chart? i have been outside a lot so i don't see my charts very much, so no. she doesn't see them, does she? i thought she memorises them the whole time. of course she does! i will have a word with her later. ok, good start this, isn't it? let's take a look at some of today's front pages. let's do it, shall we?

michael, you have already spoken quite a lot this morning. i am going to start with ben. why do you call him mike and then michael? to start with ben. why do you call him mike and then michael7m to start with ben. why do you call him mike and then michael? it is when i am naughty. what have i done wrong? nothing. there is a really nice piece in the ft this morning. the headline explains what you need to know. i worked right not pay after all. they have done a study or 50,000 employees across 36 countries about whether putting in long hours pays off and we probably knows this —— know this already but it doesn't. people with similarjobs are likely to have inferior work prospects, work satisfaction, security, rubbish promotion prospects because they work too much. interesting, given that... i think it is the independent this morning. it is the guardian. this story that millions

fear being replaced by machines. we might be working harder. there is no point because 6 million will be replaced by machines anyway. 40% could be overtaken according to figures this morning from the ippr. for anyone working at —— waking up this morning thinking there is no point working hard and we will all be replaced by robots. it is good news because it won't get you anywhere. 4496 news because it won't get you anywhere. 44% of us. children, don't listen to that message. will robots have to be built? there will bejobs in robot production. we have talked about this a lot. in programming and building the robots. and then when you have the tech you have more jobs here. and then there is the assumption that people want and can do highly skilled jobs.|j assumption that people want and can do highly skilled jobs. i had an interview with an educational guru

for various countries around the world. he says you should teach your children mandarin and programming, coding, that is it. i thought you we re coding, that is it. i thought you were going to say manners. well, that too. 4496, that is almost two of us. that too. 4496, that is almost two of us. almost. laughter. come on, robocop. the european championships continue in glasgow and berlin. dean asher—smith is one of the big hopes. she has been doing a history degree of the last couple of years and now trying to make history to become the first woman in 28 years to win the 100 metres, 200 metres and the relay, the sprint relay, three this week on the track. and this is the best photo of the morning, look at this, the four four from surrey hoping to become the four four for england, sam curran, this is them into —— in 2013, pope got a call up

for the second test, here they are against surrey. oh, they have redone the photo. harry mcguire watching england two years ago playing at the world cup. absolutely. you like this one, don't you? only because we have the gentlemen of the sofa, i am surrounded by gentlemen of the sofa, i have to ask, mummy‘s bouye are less likely to have issues when they grow up. they also say the same is true. why are you laughing? -- mummy‘s boy. true. why are you laughing? -- mummy's boy. and mummy's boy is someone mummy's boy. and mummy's boy is someone who gets on with their mother. what would you define as a mummy's boy? i don't know. someone who is particular close to their

mum, maybe. shall we move on? continue the story. it used a study by the marriage foundation who says boys and girls closest to the parent or the opposite sex are far better to cope with teenage life, so that's why i think the headline is perhaps a little more interesting than the actual story. it says boys closer to their mums have better mental health, as do girls closer to their dads. anything that helps with mental health issues we are happy with and is set a good relationship isa with and is set a good relationship is a good relationship. and men traditionally don't speak out about it as well. yes, good point. excellent. i am glad we got to the bottom of that. thank you very much. you're watching breakfast with daniel and naga. prescription—only drugs are being sold online to potentially vulnerable patients, according to a bbc panorama investigation. the health care regulator, the care quality commission, has called for a change in the law in response to the documentary, which has revealed a legal loophole allowing companies based abroad to sell medication to patients in the uk.

faye kirkland, who is also a gp, has this report. with the help of volunteers, panorama when shopping for prescription only medications. this woman was treated for anorexia as a teenager and is now completely well. she bought three months of prescription slimming pills online. she filled out a questionnaire with a false medical history and wasn't asked questions about contacting her gp. i have so many diet pills here. ifi gp. i have so many diet pills here. if i had still been in the depths of my illness it would have been so dangerous for me. literally and massive box of them. she is not overweight and if she had seen agp face—to—face she would not have been prescribed these drugs.|j face—to—face she would not have been prescribed these drugs. i am horrified to see some of those sites you have shown me, to see that you click on the drug and then go

through the consultation. this is not right. it is not safe. it has to be sorted. the site cannot be regulated by the care quality commission because prescribing doctors are contracted by a company outside england. i tracked it down in romania. it is called euro rx and the registered address is a flat in timmer swire. it is 50% owned by julie eden who used to be a doctor until he was struck off in 2000 for what was described as cavalier prescribing. posing as investors panorama met him. panorama has discovered that several uk—based online doctor sites avoid the coc inspection by using doctors contracted by romanian company. as a gpe it makes me very angry that patients are put at risk. and as a

regulator it actually makes me even more certain that we need to try to get the legislation changed so that people cannot just bypass get the legislation changed so that people cannotjust bypass our regulatory activities. the department of health and social care says it is working with the coc to improve patient safety. julian eden told panorama he has never sought to evade cqc oversight and that his shareholding in euro rx is sensible business investment. panorama's online doctors uncovered will be on bbc one tonight at 8:30pm. and we will talk about that later on in the programme. definitely. coming up later in the programme: we hear the remarkable rescue story of four bears — this is a good story — which have spent their lives in cramped cages injapan but have just arrived in the uk. fiona lamdin is with them this morning. good morning. the sun isjust coming

up good morning. the sun isjust coming up over the yorkshire wildlife park andi up over the yorkshire wildlife park and i am with four bears who have made this remarkable journey either 5000 miles across the world from japan to be here. now, we are going slowly, quietly, not to startle them. this is 17—year—old riku. look at him. he isjust a fine bear. next door this is his brother, 17 years old, and this is kai. now, injapan, they were living in such small cages. but here in yorkshire they have a huge expanse. they have lakes and trees. there is about three acres. we will show you some of that later this morning. how do you travel four bears a cross the world? let me show you what they had to feed them. they have to feed them watermelon across the journey. we will show you all that this morning. now, the news, travel and weather wherever you're watching breakfast this morning. good morning from bbc london news.

some of the challenges. when we are standing on the platform waiting to board a train or the tube, people acknowledge us, people talk to us before the train is in and say how wonderful these dogs are, and the moment the door opens on the train they will barge in and push us over, walk over keeka and get on themselves first. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there is no service on the northern line in both directions and moorgate with late finishing engineering work. on the roads, the victorian embankment is closed because of gasworks. the a3 is close from upper richmond road. and broadway is closed near the railway station for roadworks as well. there it is a change in the weather

as we head through the week. still some warm and sunny as we head through the week. still some warm and sunny weather for the next 24 hours. so today is a similar day to yesterday. not much in the way of clout at all. and probably slightly warmer as well. temperatures, we could see highs of 32 degrees. and for most of us at least the high 205. not much of a breeze today as well. now, as we head through this evening we stay with the clear skies overnight. little patchy cloud in places. temperature—wise, similar to last night, down to between 14— 18 degrees. so, tomorrow we start the day on a similar note, very sunny to start the morning. and as we head through the day we see a little bit more in the way of cloud and then the possibility of some thundery showers in the early evening. temperature—wise up to about 32 degrees. those thundery showers could be quite heavy where they fall. they won't affect everyone as

they are showers, but we will see some rather lively activity overnight. and then there is more wet weather to come at the end of the week and a much fresher feel to the week and a much fresher feel to the weather from wednesday. ican i can tell you if you are heading out it is warm already. that is it from me. iam back in out it is warm already. that is it from me. i am back in half an hour. now it is back to dan and naga. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: georgia hall has become the british women's open champion aged just 22. she's here after 7am. mojo was the first police dog to arrive at the scene of the manchester arena attack. he's now starting his well—earned retirement. he joins us in the studio. and we chat to european paragliding champion theo warden

little to help people get on the property ladder. in its annual report, the campaign to protect rural england claims that only a quarter of homes built on greenfield sites last year were categorised as "affordable". the government says last year saw the highest number of new homes built in a decade, but has denied accusations that it's tearing up the countryside. us president donald trump has admitted that his son met a russian lawyer injune, 2016 to get information on an opponent. in a tweet, he said that donald junior‘s meeting was totally legal and is done all the time in politics. he added that he didn't know about it. special counsel robert mueller is investigating us intelligence findings that russia conspired to sway the election in mr trump's favour. wildfires raging across large areas of california have been declared a major emergency by president trump. he's authorised more government aid to be made available to help thousands of firefighters tackling the blazes. high temperatures and strong winds are causing the fires to spread even more. seven people have died and thousands have been evacuated. police have rescued 11 emaciated

the chance to enjoy without pressure this moment. victory achieved with her dad as her caddie. he'd kicked her boyfriend off the bag for this event. i was quite nervous and i think he was too, but we didn't really say anything to each other. we just tried to get the job done, as they say. you know, he was amazing this week and you know, i'm very glad i kept it together. i'm over the moon. at 22 years of age, hall has earned £377,000 today. this was a round that will change her life. patrick gearey, bbc news. a bit more than just chocolate then! she will be here within the hour, 7:20am. i'm so excited. a tea and some chocolate is. you go and sorted out! ireland's fairytale run to the women's hockey world cup final could't provide a happy ending as they lost to defending champions,

pound game and this year it's at wembley. fantastic turnaround, the players have worked extremely hard. we've got three weeks now to get ready for that game, and we'll use all those three weeks to make sure again to hopefully put in a performance something like we did today. and they'll face eight time winners warrington wolves at wembley at the end of august. they comprehensively beat leeds rhinos 48—12 in the days other semi—final. for the first time, both matches were played back to back at the same venue in bolton. andrea dovizioso won the czech moto gp, ending a five—month personal drought and an 11—year one for his ducati team. a crash on the opening lap brought briton bradley smith's race to a premature end in brno, with two other riders also involved, while dovizioso won the race from pole. britain's cal crutchlow slipped to fifth on the final straight before the chequered flag. england all—rounder ben stokes is due to appear at bristol crown court today to face charges of affray following a brawl in the city's streets last september. stokes will be replaced by chris woakes for the second test

a club and i'd hit my own machine with a seven iron and i lay on the floor for with a seven iron and i lay on the floorfor a a good with a seven iron and i lay on the floor for a a good few minutes. with a seven iron and i lay on the floor for a a good few minuteslj hit my ankle bone with my putter when i am walking around. it's not while i'm putting, just flinging it around! georgia hall will be here at 7:20am. thanks forjoining us. concerns over our use of plastic bottles and packaging have been growing in recent months. now campaigners are calling on crisp manufacturers to change their packets. a petition signed by 270,000 people is being handed to walkers tomorrow. the company said its committed to improving their bags by 2025, but the campaign group 38 degrees says action needs to be taken now. its executive director david babbs is in our london newsroom. thank you for talking about this this morning. why are you targeting

particularly walker's? they are the biggest and best—known maker of crisps in the uk and that means if they showed leadership and shifted their plastic crisp packets over to something that was biodegradable, it would make a huge difference. at the moment walkers are admitting it's a problem and they need to do something about it, but they say they want to wait until 2025 and that would mean another 28 billion crisp packets that can't be recycled, can't be compost it, and that's an awful lot of litter or crisp packets in landfill or crisp packets washing up on our beaches, that's why so many have sign this petition to get walkers to take action. it is possible for them to make biodegradable packets now, they don't need to wait so long.|j make biodegradable packets now, they don't need to wait so long. i know walkers make million packets per day, but there are others out there,

-- 11 day, but there are others out there, —— 11 million. are you unfairly targeting them? it is because walkers are so big and well—known. it was started by a member of the public because he eats walkers crisps and he doesn't want to have to feel guilty every time he has a packet of them because he can't recycle the crisp packet. what we all hope is if walkers, the biggest and best loved brand of crisps, lead the way by stopping producing plastic pollution when they make a packet of crisps, others will follow. can i read you what walkers have said, we're committed to making 100% recyclable, come possible and biodegradable packaging by 2025. we have a number of initiatives, we don't know all the answers, which is why we are collaborating with a number of leaders to share the latest science and practical solutions —— compost will. it sounds like they're doing their bit, aren't

they? we've seen with other brands, bit of shopper pressure and customer pressure can speed the minds up. earlier this year another petition we set up targeted pg tips, saying i really like pg tips but i don't want plastic in each of my teabags. unilever, the owner of that company, committed to the same 2025 target but when we saw hundreds of thousands getting behind the petition, when bbc breakfast covered it, suddenly pg tips focused on their minds and they got rid of plastic this year, which is fantastic and we are hoping in the same way by lots of us getting involved in the campaign, encouraging walkers notjust to do the right thing in seven years but now, to get on with it before billions more crisp packets end up in landfill or litter, we are hoping them to not hang around and do the right thing now. i suppose another positive from the

campaign is that it has made people more aware of what chris packets are made from. yes, exactly. everyone wa nts to made from. yes, exactly. everyone wants to do their bit to tackle plastic pollution and that is why we have seen the campaigns to get the government to do more to make it easier to recycle plastic bottles —— crisp packets. we have seen individuals thinking about ways to cut down on plastic use. this campaign is saying to the big companies as well, the big brands like walkers who produce things we all want to eat, we want to choose to eat crisps when we eat crisps that when the packet left behind afterwards will outlive us with something that we can't easily recycled, we can't rely on to rot down, so at the moment if we eat crisps we end up with something in landfill for millions of years or washing up on the beach. we have said to walkers to do their bit, the government is doing its bit, make it easierfor government is doing its bit, make it easier for us. thank you very much this morning. all i want is crisps.

it makes you hungry. 6 billion packets a year eat in in the uk. that is an incredible amount. 90% of adults eat crisps. two ue it crisps or chocolate? can we eat both? i think i would go chocolate over crisps. only just. savary think i would go chocolate over crisps. onlyjust. savary or the way. savoury, sweet, crisps?” crisps. onlyjust. savary or the way. savoury, sweet, crisps? i like them both. -- savoury all the way. redeem yourself with some sunshine. good morning. iam redeem yourself with some sunshine. good morning. i am on the roof of the bbc in london. although the temperature is 17 degrees, it feels warmer than it has in recent days. the forecast for this week is one of rain at times, not all of us will see it until later in the week potentially, and it will turn a little bit fresher. at the moment we

have two weather fronts affecting the weather. the first one with the semicircle is producing rain across the northern ireland. that will clear away. the second one with the blue triangles is coming from the north—west heading south—east and behind that it will turn fresher and eventually on wednesday it will clear the south—east. this morning it is producing patchy rain across parts of northern and western scotland, northern ireland and northern england. it will brighten up northern england. it will brighten up in scotland but in northern ireland and england you will hang on toafair ireland and england you will hang on to a fair bit of cloud and some bright spells in the day. there is a lot of low cloud and mist in the south—west and wales and it will hang around the bristol channel. away from here it will be sunny and quite hot especially in the south—east. this evening and overnight the weather front is in the south of scotland, northern england, wales and south—west england, wales and south—west england producing cloud and patchy rain and quite a lot of hill fog for the lake district and the southern

uplands tonight and it will be a fresh and night except for the south—east. tomorrow we start with the weather front for south—west scotland, north—west england, wales and south—east england as well. still producing cloud and patchy rain. as it moves south it will fizzle as it comes into high pressure. the south—east will be hotter than today, 32, possibly 33. behind the cold front we have fresh conditions with sunshine and showers. wednesday, we could begin with thunderstorms from france overnight in the south—eastern corner but generally a lot of dry weather, it will feel much fresher thanit weather, it will feel much fresher than it has in the south—east, where it has been so hot, but for the rest of us it is business as usual. the weather front moving east from the west, taking rain, probably not into the south—east. then, into the latter pa rt the south—east. then, into the latter part of the week, you can see the yellows comes into the uk, pushing off into the near continent as it turns fresher. i alluded to the fact that we will see

substantial rain. at the moment low pressure, a deep area of low pressure, a deep area of low pressure is coming in from the west, that will bring some rain and it looks like significant rain into the south—east, where we haven't seen for some time. provides some relief, iam sure, for some time. provides some relief, i am sure, to lots of people. thank you. ben's looking at housing this morning and if the green belt should be used to build more homes. yes, we traditionally think that area around cities is protected and sacrosanct, but in some cases houses are planned to be built on that and we are looking at the pros and cons of why that might happen. yes, good morning. the campaign to protect rural england says nearly half a million houses are currently planned for so—called ‘green belt land' and the government is failing to protect them. but what exactly is the green belt? it all started in the 15005 when queen elizabeth created a boundary around london to try to stop the spread of plague. fast forward to the 19305 and the capital's authorities used the it to designate a protected area around london for farming and leisure. the aim was to stop so—called urban sprawl,

where cities just keep getting bigger and bigger. in 1947, other councils were granted permission to do the same in their towns. the latest figures show that now around 13% of land across england is designated as green belt. development on green belt land it is only supposed to happen in "very special circumstances". but the campaign for rural england says that's not working, and the number of houses planned for green belt areas is rising. but in many areas locals are fighting back. like this group that fought a development, and won. my my name is paul. i am barbara. as pa rt my name is paul. i am barbara. as part of the council allocation to the framework they proposed 750 homes in this site. a lot of people had a lot of attachment to the site. it has never been built on. it is

great to —— grade two agricultural land. it was sold to the land owners on the proviso it would be kept for the people for all time. we were first tried to understand the council's case for building on this site. then we went on from that to put in our objections to the greater manchester spatial framework. we are not against building per se but it has to be the right houses in the right places and this is not the right places and this is not the right place, as you can see, this fabulous piece of green belt land. the government says it remains committed to the green belt and that only a tiny amount of the land went to residential use last year. but the campaign to protect rural england says too many developments are planned on greenbelt land, and not even for affordable homes to solve the housing crisis. but developers say far from green and pleasant land, many of these sites would be better if given a new lease of life, and could be used to build

affordable housing. so, who's right? i'm going to be debating this issue with the campaign to protect rural england and an mp in favour of certain green belt development in about an hour's time. i will speak to both of them and we will have that out some of the issues about protecting our green belt. lots of people will be very passionate about it on both sides. get in contact with us on that one. a wildlife park in south yorkshire has become home to four rare brown bears after a remarkable rescue mission. the animals had spent years in small cages in a museum injapan but this morning they're exploring their new, spacious surroundings. and fiona lamdin is with them. you have such a lovelyjob this morning, haven't you? morning. let

me show you the new home. they only arrived on friday. it is amazing to see how they are getting so used to this place. this is riku. he is a 17—year—old bear. before this, he was on a tiny piece of concrete. now he has a grass enclosure that i will show you in a minute. theirjourney has been remarkable. how do you take four brown bears 5000 miles across the world? the answer is aided by watermelon. for the last three decades this has been home to hanako, a brown bear living in a museum in northern japan. her cage so small she has only ever been able to take two steps. four days ago that changed. first the oldest male abu is sedated by vets. and despite prods from

hanako, his next or neighbour, he remains asleep, while all 350 kilograms of him is stretchered out toa kilograms of him is stretchered out to a truck. we started at 4am this morning. it is 9am and the bears are in the cranes and being strapped into the lorry. and this begins the 5000 milejourney. the main concern keeping four hanako cool in 43 degrees heat. it is a well—planned operation. fans ready to spray the bears, sheets of ice and buckets or watermelon. two flights flavour, four bears arrive at heathrow.|j watermelon. two flights flavour, four bears arrive at heathrow. i was sitting on the plane thinking no one knows there are four brown bears on this plane. it was quite surreal. nowjust opening this plane. it was quite surreal. now just opening the this plane. it was quite surreal. nowjust opening the gate. and these the first tentative steps into their new home in yorkshire. they could do very little on the concrete floor. it all started two years ago when

this animal welfare expert saw the bears injapan. this animal welfare expert saw the bears in japan. if they could express happiness, this would be it. bears spent 18 hours foraging. he hasn't been able to do that. they are hasn't been able to do that. they a re really hasn't been able to do that. they are really powerful. for the first time he was able to use his claws and dig. well, kai is 17 and it is the first time in his entire life he has ever been able to take a bath. getting out, well, that proved a little more problematic. this is his new, permanent home. so he has a lifetime to master it. well, kai has just well, kai hasjust been well, kai has just been allowed well, kai hasjust been allowed out this morning. he is having a good look around. this is the first time in his life that he has experienced grass. it is worth saying that the other bears are being kept in an enclosure a long here. coming over

to georgina. good morning. you found the bears. how was it that they could be kept like that? protection measures in japan are could be kept like that? protection measures injapan are very different than the uk and as a result they can have some concerning conditions which these guys were in. the museum where they were held were concerned and working to refund them. 5000 miles is a very long way. nowhere closer than yorkshire? it was looked at and closer than yorkshire? it was looked atandi closer than yorkshire? it was looked at and i worked with japanese experts, veterinarians but it was decided at the time that nowhere was suitable for them. coming over to you, davie, what was it like, when they were kept all their life in captivity, what was it like when you saw them move? really exciting, the bears, when we saw them on the trucks, they seemed to come alive and get sparked up, especially the younger ones, they were nervous and very inquisitive. and the female,

hanako, very inquisitive. and the female, hana ko, was very very inquisitive. and the female, hanako, was very inquisitive, grabbing hold of the hose at any opportunity, anything she could get her claws around, she was in. thank you. if we can come in, he is scratching on the post, he is having a gorgeous t|me. scratching on the post, he is having a gorgeous time. anyway, we have to leave it. now, the news, travel and weather wherever you are watching brea kfast weather wherever you are watching breakfast this morning. good morning from bbc london news. i'm alpa patel. london's cab drivers are coming together with the unite union and other organisations to bring legal action against uber. they‘ re claiming damages and loss of earnings due to the alleged unlawful operation of the service. uber says it won't comment on the announcement as it says it's not clear what the basis for any action would be. mystery surrounds the identity of a man who was pulled from the river thames at the putney embankment. the man, thought to be in his 305, is in a critical condition. he wasn't carrying any id but does have some distinctive tattoos. police hope a friend or family

member will recognise his description and come forward. pushed, shoved, called names and denied access. just some of the experiences faced by many disabled people as they try to get around london. campaigners are calling for more awareness of the obstacles for people with impairments. amit lost his sight five years ago and now relies on guide dog keeka to get about, but explained some of the challenges. when we're standing on the platform waiting to board a train ora tube, people acknowledge us, people talk to us before the train is there and say how wonderful these dogs are, but the moment the door opens on the train they will barge in and push us over, walk over keeka and get on themselves first. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service across all

lines. on the roads, the victoria embankment is closed between southwark bridge and westminster bridge due to gas works. in wandsworth, the a3 west hill is closed southbound from upper richmond road for emergency gas works. and in edmonton green, broadway is closed near the railway station for roadworks. and in acton, acton town strip —— tube station is closed for water works. let's have a check on the weather now with georgina burnett. there it is a change in the weather as we head through the week. still some warm and sunny weather for the next 24 hours. so, today is a similar day to yesterday. not much in the way of clout at all. and probably slightly warmer as well. temperatures, well, we could see highs of 32 degrees. and for most of us in at least the high 205. not much of a breeze today as well. now, as we head through this evening, we're staying with the clear skies overnight.

little patchy cloud in places. temperature—wise, similar to last night, down to between 14—18 degrees. so, tomorrow we start the day on a similar note, very sunny to start the morning. and as we head through the day we see a little bit more in the way of cloud and then the possibility of some thundery showers in the early evening. temperature—wise up to about 32 degrees. those thundery showers could be quite heavy where they fall. they won't affect everyone as they are showers, but we will see some rather lively activity overnight. and then there is more wet weather to come at the end of the week and a much fresher feel to the weather from wednesday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. our headlines today: a man is charged with the murder of midwife samantha eastwood, who disappeared in staffordshire ten days ago. more than 90 people are killed as a devastating earthquake hits the indonesian island of lombok, the second in a week.

building on the green belt. is it a solution to the housing crisis or are they areas to be protected? a new report says 500,000 homes are planned on green belt land. i'll speak to both sides of the debate. we're weird four brown bears who have made the remarkable 5000 mile journey from japan to yorks —— we're with. in sport, it's joy for georgia hall at the women's british open. she seals one of golf‘s major titles with some caddying help from her dad. georgia will be here on the sofa in 20 minutes. good morning. in scotland, northern ireland and northern england today, bit of cloud with patchy light rain and drizzle. when we lose the low cloud and mist from wales and south—west england, for all of england and wales, another sunny,

the public for its support, but asked for privacy at this difficult time. chi chi izundu, bbc news. officials in indonesia say the number of people killed in a powerful earthquake on the island of lombok has risen to more than 90, with hundreds more suffering head injuries and broken bones. it's the second earthquake to hit the popular tourist island in a week. lebo diseko reports. running for their lives as the earthquake struck, people at this hotel in lombok dashed to safety. others simply called on god as they felt the power of mother nature. traumatised survivors faced a night outside, the buildings too unsafe after two after—shocks. at this hospital near the epicentre, patients had to be moved outside. many of the injured from across the region were transferred to nearby bali, which also felt the quake. doctors and nurses desperately tried

to save lives in conditions that were farfrom ideal. translation: we will place patients here in the parking lot and also in the hallway of the hospital. we will build emergency tents so our medical teams can concentrate on handling patients. as rescuers search for people amongst what's left of the buildings, hope as a survivor is found. unable to walk but alive. it's just a week since another quake hit in a region that is prone to them. there are no guarantees when the next one might be safe for these people to return to their homes. lebo diseko, bbc news. we can speak to kelly fletcher, from portsmouth, who's currently on holiday on lombok. thank you for talking to us. how are you, are you ok? we are fine, a bit

shaken up but we are ok. you've been there since the fourth ofjuly and you have witnessed both earthquakes, what is it like there? we came to indonesia on the fourth ofjuly and we we re indonesia on the fourth ofjuly and we were around for the first one a few weeks ago and the shocks were pretty big. we work up at around 4am and the room was shaking violently but there wasn't a lot of damage at the time —— woke up. we left the island and we were on our way back yesterday. we were flying from denpasar in mainland barley and we we re denpasar in mainland barley and we were on the runway and the captain came over the tonight and said it was delayed because the island was getting an earthquake —— bali. it was an after—shock by this point. we we re was an after—shock by this point. we were in the air. when we landed we realised how much it had hit lombok. very frightening for everyone there. is the feeling amongst most tourists

that they want to go home and are you being given help to get home? absolutely. when we arrived on lombok, people were already being evacuated from the airport onto the tarmac. it's really strange because we weren't sure what was happening at first. we were at baggage claim, it was surreal trying to get your rucksack and two minutes later people were screaming and running out of the ill doing and we were following in hot pursuit. all of the locals had gone home, taxis were available and people were stranded —— the building. lots of tourists weren't sure what to do. we were lucky we had booked into a airport hotel and when we spoke to a local taxi driver, he was ready to go home and he had his motorcycle helmet on and he had his motorcycle helmet on and he had his motorcycle helmet on and he got taken to the hotel and when we arrived lots of people were trying to find refuge —— an airport hotel. they were scared from what happened on the island before. we

wish you well, thanks for giving us information from lombok. thanks for talking to us. so far we understand 90 people have died. us president donald trump has admitted that his son met a russian lawyer injune, 2016 to get information on an opponent. in a tweet, he said that donald junior‘s meeting was totally legal and is done all the time in politics. he added that he didn't know about it. special counsel robert mueller is investigating us intelligence findings that russia conspired to sway the election in mr trump's favour. the government's been warned that plans to build 500,000 homes on greenbelt land will do little to help people get on the property ladder. in its annual report, the campaign to protect rural england claims that only a quarter of homes built on greenfield sites last year were categorised as affordable. the government says last year saw the highest number of new homes built in a decade, but has denied accusations that it's tearing up the countryside. wildfires raging across large areas of california have been declared a major emergency by president trump.

he's authorised more government aid to be made available to help thousands of firefighters tackling the blazes. high temperatures and strong winds are causing the fires to spread even more. seven people have died and thousands have been evacuated. police have rescued 11 emaciated children from a filthy makeshift compound in the us state of new mexico. officers searching for a missing toddler raided the site near the state border with colorado. the child was not there but the others were, along with five adults. two men have been arrested. the cost of rural crime soared to £45 million last year, its highest level since 2013. farmers are resorting to medieval methods like digging trenches to tackle a growing wave of vehicle, equipment and livestock theft by organised gangs. police say high—level criminals are using the proceeds to fund more serious offences like drug and gun trafficking. us pop star demi lovato has spoken for the first time

since she was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected overdose last month. in an instagram post, the 25—year—old singer said that she has always been transparent about herjourney with addiction, and that it's something she would continue to try to overcome. it is approaching 7:10am. you're watching breakfast from the bbc. a bbc panorama investigation has uncovered a legal loophole which allows companies based abroad to sell prescription—only drugs in the uk. the health watchdog, the care quality commission, has called for stricter laws to protect vulnerable patients. linda is featured in the documentary. her son, shaun, died from an overdose after he'd bought medication online. let's herfrom her now. let's hearfrom her now. shaun, he was a gentle giant. he was very, very fond of his family. he was prescribed tranquillisers by

his gp following the deaths of his brother and father. but shaun quickly became dependent on the drugs when his gp and family tried to wea n drugs when his gp and family tried to wean him off then, he looked elsewhere. shaun had found a site where he could get my as a pan. this is what he did. for two years, sean was secretly buying tranquillisers as well as strong opiate painkiller is from a uk—based website. then in 2016, he collapsed following an accidental overdose. 2016, he collapsed following an accidental overdoselj 2016, he collapsed following an accidental overdose. i rang 999 and then proceeded to do cpr. but i knew it was too late. the pharmacy which dispensed the drugs to shaun has stopped using the website that prescribed them. joining us now is reporter faye kirkland. as a working gp, did this shock you? incredibly, we put ourfindings

incredibly, we put our findings to other gps to the chair of the royal of gps and she said that it was truly shocking. what panorama did was we had some volunteers who worked with us who went on other sites that shaun used and were able to buy potentially incredibly dangerous medications for them. i'm assuming there are legal websites out there as well? there are, these aren't illegal but there are sites which the care quality commission, the health regulator in england, suggest patients use. they clearly have a cqc logo on them and you can go on the coc website and check the online doctors side you are using is safe. not to criticise the cqc at all, but is that really obvious? —— site. is possible people could stumble onto these sites that aren't branded or stamped by the coc? patients could easily go online to an online doctors site and they

could find one that isn't cqc registered, it's important patients go on and look and if they're not sure they can go to the and call a number. easily patients can stumble on these websites. the problem is it is the vulnerable who are suffering, if you're desperate to get hold of a drug, you will find a way to get that. absolutely. the medications we found were available for sale were things like opiates and slimming ta blets, things like opiates and slimming tablets, potentially very vulnerable people could get hold of these medications and the coc working to point out not all sites were bad, they regulate online doctors sites in england and they can provide a valuable service but the ones that aren't cqc registered them avoid. they've given that statement out, what can be done now, what needs to be done to make the situation better and more transparent and safer? absolutely. currently the coc‘s power is only to regulate if the doctors service is in england and

we've found a lot are based in romania, so we are calling on the government to change the law so they can better regulate this. thanks for coming in, and fascinating programme. i didn't know anything about that. it is one of those ones where you watch the show and you think wow, it's something i didn't know anything about. panorama's online doctors uncovered will be on bbc one tonight at 8:30pm. thanks for coming in. time for the weather and carol's on the roof of broadcasting house in london. it is rather glorious this morning. good morning, carol. good morning. you're quite right, the sun is beating down, not too hot yet and we have blue skies. later it will be hot in london with highs around 32, but if it is rain you are after, well, at the moment it looks like by the end of the week there will be significant rain coming our way, even into the south—east where we haven't seen significant rain for

quite a while, that includes east anglia. the forecast today is one of sunshine, patchy light rain and drizzle in the north. the forecast this week is turning fresher and we will see rain at times. we have two weather fronts influencing our weather fronts influencing our weather this morning, the first is a warm front, the one with the semicircle, that's got heavy rain in the northern isles at the moment and the northern isles at the moment and the second one is the blue one with a triangle, that say cold front and as it goes south and clears the south—east by wednesday, fresher conditions will follow, bringing patchy light rain, but not to everyone. this morning we have the rain in the northern isles clearing, patchy light rain and drizzle in northern and western scotland, northern ireland, cumbria and northumberland, clearing scotland and brightening up for you but will remain in northern england and northern ireland. low cloud and mist in wales and south—west england, that will lift except on the bristol channel coastline, then you will get sunshine and the rest of england will have sunshine with high

temperatures, but generally temperatures, but generally temperatures from the low to high 205 today away from the south—east. through the evening and overnight once again we have a weather front in southern scotland, northern england and wales and the south—west. lots of hill fog in the la ke south—west. lots of hill fog in the lake district and southern uplands tonight. a fresher night for most but in london it will still be around 18. tomorrow we have the weather front draped across southern scotland, north—west england, wales and south—west england, still producing patchy light rain and drizzle. as it sinks south, it will fizzle. lots of dry weather tomorrow with some scattered showers in the north with temperatures even higher in the south—east, up to 33. on wednesday we could start with thunderstorms which have come up from france during the night across the south—east, but generally the south—east will be dry and sunny. whereas in the west, our weather front coming our way will introduce rain, pushing east through the day across scotland, northern ireland, northern england, wales, the south—west and the midlands, don't

expect it to get into the south—east but it will feel fresher. you can expect the fresh yellow conditions pushing the hotter reds into the continent, fresher through the later pa rt continent, fresher through the later part of the week and that's when we expect the low pressure to come our way with significant rain across the country. arles posted on the progress and likelihood of that over the ensuing days. -- i'll keep you posted. it looks lovely up there. is dappled the right word? dappled sunshine, bathing carol. what a beautiful morning, carol. thank you. loads of greenbelt comments coming up. talking about europe's biggest bank. a lot of people get in touch with us about that about whether we should build on the greenbelt. hsbc says its profits were up 4.6% in the first six months of the year to just under $11 billion.

the bank has been cutting costs recently — it's slashed 87,000 jobs over the last few years. but the new boss, who took over in february, says today's results mean it can start to invest again soon. troubled department store chain house of fraser has had a bit of a repreive — for now. it's settled a dispute with some of its landlords — who had been blocking plans to close 31 stores. those closures can now go ahead. house of fraser is still seeking a cash investment though to safeguard its longer term future after a chinese backer pulled out last week. campaigners say the government isn't doing enough to protect our green belt land around towns and cities. the campaign to protect rural england says nearly half a million homes are planned on these sites and not enough of them are affordable. the government says green belt sites are only built on in exceptional circumstances. georgia hall has been

dreaming of winning the women's british open since the age of seven, when she played for chocolate bars. and yesterday that dream came true as the 22—year—old from bournemouth produced a stunning final round at royal lytham and st annes to secure her first major. we're delighted to say shejoins us now. congratulations. well done. how are you feeling? i can't believe it. it hasn't sunk in for me and i'm so happy to have this amazing trophy in front of me. you came close with

last year, you are third. 22 years old, don't want to be patronising but you are quite young. you have worked really ha rd but you are quite young. you have worked really hard for this and in a very short period of time. it's my dream sincei very short period of time. it's my dream since i was seven to win the british omen —— to win the british open. it's very special. didn't you used apart the open? and i was practising with my dad or on my own. given all that, given the fact that you put a bit of pressure on yourself wanting to achieve so much in front of a home crowd and yet you seem so in front of a home crowd and yet you seem so calm and controlled, you dealt with your nerves beautifully yesterday. when i was amateur playing big events, used to get ahead of myself and get excited because i wanted so much. i was so happy. that's the last thing i

wanted. i'm just really happy. happy. that's the last thing i wanted. i'mjust really happy. in terms of doing it with your dad, he was there on the back, talk to us about the socks. apparently you wore the socks on day one and they were very smelly and you said, we have to wear them every day. after four days, they were. i'm quite superstitious. it's going to be worth it hopefully. did you sniff them after? talking about it being a family affair,, as a dancer, you absolutely focused on in control. so mature in your approach to the game. almost just like what

mature in your approach to the game. almostjust like what demons got to do but there was cracking your demeanour. we wish him very well.|j was kind of doing it for him as well. like to take a bit of a different perspective when somebody is not very well. that made me more focused, i think. is not very well. that made me more focused, ithink. if is not very well. that made me more focused, i think. if i got too happy, i was worried and so glad i did. i spoke to him on the phone, he is so proud of me. it'sjust amazing to have my family there as well. we probably have quite a few casual golf viewers. you are called george hall for a reason. because nick faldo won the masters on the week i was born in georgia, augusta,

georgia and his daughter is also called george so it's lucky our play golf, really. your parents are golfers. but your dad played? he played off two or three handicap and hasn't played in about ten years. let's talk about the weight of history and what it means now. you are picked out as one of the stars recently, you have an amazing run. you are only the third brit to win this open since it's been a major since 2001. there is history building, there is momentum building. how prepared ru for this? well, i don't really know. i love playing golf and i love playing

tournaments so i'm just going to keep on playing as much golf as i can and try and win more things. you mention the pga and the european tour. do you have to choose between the two. there are more tournaments, it seems to organised at the moment. iamon it seems to organised at the moment. i am on the role of both tours and the tour is important to me, it's my home, it was the start of my professional career. i think that the ladies tour is getting much better in next year we have a few more tournaments and a try and plan a couple, if i get the time, but i play in the lpga at the moment and there are a lot of tournaments and some great players. what made the difference? can you put it down to something? i know you spend a bit of

time with cameron brown. wasn't something he said, was something in particular? i think it'sjust the british open. it's incredible to play at home and there were thousands of people cheering my name. this is the big trophy wanted to win so having my family there as well is always great. what would you say to anyone who watches this? there are a lot of cash will golfers or people who don't know anything. there is a big move to get more women and families to play. what would you say? you reached a pinnacle so far. definitely give it a go. there is a lot of fun to be had. there is always something you

can improve. this is one of the reason i started. georgia, you know when you are saying, you are seven, you played golf for chocolate, it was mike bushell bringing you some chocolate. he is actually opened it. i don't think he's touched it. what would you... that is the galaxy? we don't need brands. wejust would you... that is the galaxy? we don't need brands. we just say, would you... that is the galaxy? we don't need brands. wejust say, what would you need to do to obama? probably like chipping. chipping off the green. this tastes better. george hall, we are in all. thank you very much. that will be on the eye player later. coming up later in the programme, we hear the remarkable rescue story of four bears who have spent their lives in cramped cages

in japan but have just arrived in the uk. fiona lamdin is with them this morning. good morning. iam good morning. i am at yorkshire wildlife park, meet the home of four new brown bears. they are 17 years old. this is riku nbn breakfasttime, he had his own basket. injapan, he had a small concrete cage but was fed on rice and stodge. here we have a whole delicious bucket of things. bananas and peanuts and lettuce. we thought, he's never had a banana before, let's give him a banana live on breakfast. see how he likes this. what do you think a banana? brilliant. he's not sure what to do with it. we will give him a

cou rg ette. with it. we will give him a courgette. it's downtime to watch the news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel. london's cab drivers are coming together with the unite union and other organisations to bring legal action against uber. they‘ re claiming damages and loss of earnings due to the alleged unlawful operation of the service. uber says it won't comment on the announcement as it says it's not clear what the basis for any action would be. mystery surrounds the identity of a man who was pulled from the river thames at the putney embankment. the man — who's thought to be in his 305 — is in a critical condition. he wasn't carrying any id but does have some distinctive tattoos. police hope a friend or family member will recognise his description and come forward. pushed, shoved, called

names and denied access. just some of the experiences faced by many disabled people as they try to get around london. campaigners are calling for more awareness of the obstacles for people with impairments. amit lost his sight five years ago — and now relies on keeka to get about. he explained some of the challenges. when we're standing on the platform waiting to board a train ora tube, people acknowledge us, people talk to us before the train is there and say how wonderful these dogs are, but the moment the door opens on the train they will barge in and push us over, walk over keeka and get on themselves first. let's have a look at the travel situation now. on the roads — the victoria embankment is closed between southwark bridge and westminster bridge due to gas works. in wandsworth — the a3, west hill is closed southbound from upper richmond road for emergency gas works. edmonton green — broadway is closed near the railway station for roadworks. acton — gunnersbury lane is closed outside

acton town tube station for water works. let's have a check on the weather now with georgina burnett. there is a change in the weather as we head through the week. still some warm and sunny weather for the next 24 hours. so, today is a similar day to yesterday. not much in the way of cloud at all. and probably slightly warmer as well. temperatures, well, we could see highs of 32 degrees. and for most of us in at least the high 205. not much of a breeze today as well. now, as we head through this evening, we're staying with the clear skies overnight. little patchy cloud in places. temperature—wise, similar to last night, down to between 14—18 degrees. so, tomorrow we start the day on a similar note, very sunny to start the morning. and as we head through the day we see a little bit more in the way of cloud and then the possibility of some thundery showers in the early evening.

temperature—wise up to about 32 degrees. those thundery showers could be quite heavy where they fall. they won't affect everyone as they are showers, but we will see some rather lively activity overnight. and then there is more wet weather to come at the end of the week and a much fresher feel to the weather from wednesday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. a man is due to appear in court this morning, charged with the murder of midwife samantha eastwood. michael stirling, who's 32 and from stoke—on—trent, is reported to be the brother—in—law of herformerfiance. samantha's body was found eight days after she was last seen leaving the royal stoke hospital where she worked. officials in indonesia say that more than 90 people have been killed in a powerful earthquake on the island of lombok,

the second to hit in a week. hundreds more were injured in yesterday's magnitude seven quake, which was also felt in neighbouring bali. search and rescue operations have continued through the night, but have been hampered by power cuts. kelly fletcher from portsmouth is on holiday on the island at the moment and spoke to us earlier. we arrived on lombok and people were already being evacuated out of the airport onto the tarmac. it's really strange, we didn't see what was happening at first. we thought we we re happening at first. we thought we were being shown to baggage claim, it was surreal standing there trying to get your rucksack and two minutes later people were screaming and running out of the building and we followed in hot pursuit of. we were lucky we booked into a hotel near the airport, when we arrived people we re the airport, when we arrived people were running trying to find refuge. they were pretty much damp from what had happened on the island before. —— scared. north korean state media has called on the us to drop its strict sanctions against the regime.

they say they've shown good faith by ending missile tests and handing over the remains of us troops. it is the second time this week that north korea appears to be accusing the us of failing to meet expectations of the deal made between donald trump and kim jong—un. wildfires raging across large areas of california have been declared a major emergency by president trump. he's authorised more government aid to be made available to help thousands of firefighters tackling the blazes. high temperatures and strong winds are causing the fires to spread even more. seven people have died and thousands have been evacuated. police have rescued 11 emaciated children from a filthy makeshift compound in the us state of new mexico. officers searching for a missing toddler raided the site near the state border with colorado. the child was not there but the others were, along with five adults. two men have been arrested. the cost of rural crime soared to £45 million last year, its highest level since 2013. farmers are resorting to medieval defence methods like digging trenches to tackle a growing wave of vehicle, equipment and livestock theft by organised gangs. police say high—level criminals are using the proceeds to fund more serious offences like drug and gun trafficking.

us pop star demi lovato has spoken for the first time since she was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected overdose last month. in an instagram post, the 25 year—old singer said that she has always been transparent about herjourney with addiction, and that it is something she would continue to try to overcome. you are up to date with the main stories. it's monday morning. good morning, you're watching breakfast from the bbc. you'vejust morning, you're watching breakfast from the bbc. you've just missed a georgia hall, who at the weekend won the british women's open. you can watch it back on iplayer. of course you can. thanks for delivering the chocolate. when she was seven she used to play for chocolate, as a way

of incentivising her. i removed the rapping to avoid branding but i didn't touch the chocolate —— wrapping. she said that that bar of chocolate was worth aid ship in. —— aid ship in —— a chip in. straight back into it, to gleneagles for the european championships, incredible. so england's georgia hall is the british open champion for 2018, she becomesjust the fifth british player to win one of golf‘s major tournaments. hall's dad, wayne, has been caddying for her this weekend at royal lytham & st annes. she went into the final round one shot behind, but came out on top in a tense day's play, and georgia says doing it with her dad alongside her made it extra special. i was quite nervous, i think he was too but we didn't really say

anything to each other, we just tried to get the job done, as they say. you know, he was amazing this week and i'm very glad i kept it together. i cannot believe the amount of support i've had through the last four days, they've been amazing. they kept cheering so loud and saying, come on, georgia, it's been amazing to have that kind of support. manchester city have won the first trophy of the new football season in england, beating chelsea 2—0 in the community shield. sergio aguero, got both goals for the premier league champions, the first one set up for him by city's english teenager phil foden. pep guardiola's side start their league campaign away at arsenal next weekend. steven gerrard had an eventful start in his first scottish premiership game in charge of rangers away at aberdeen. the former liverpool ca ptain's team talk went out of the window very early on as rangers went down to 10 men. but captain james tavernier edged them in front with a penalty. 19—year—old bruce anderson equalised in injury time on his debut.

in the day's other game hibs beat motherwell 3—0. laura kenny has won a second gold medal at the european championships great britain's third on the track. it came in the elimination race, with sprints staged every other lap and the last rider across the line knocked out each time. she stayed in the field before surging away on the final lap to win a 12th european title. she only returned to action in march after the birth of her first child and had already picked up gold in the team pursuit. georgia davies has finally won gold in the 50m backstroke. the briton had claimed silver and bronze in the two previous european championships. davies broke the european record in the heats. and the men's 4x200m freestyle relay team also won gold. james guy brought them home after legs from calum jarvis, duncan scott and thomas dean, beating the russian team, who had qualified fastest, into silver. sarah storey has won her second gold medal at the para—cycling road world championships in italy. she finished ahead of fellow briton, crystal lane—wright,

who crossed the line in second, but was later relegated to third after being judged to have impeded another athlete in the c5 road race. storey also won the time trial on friday. one of the big shocks in the rugby league was on the weekend. catalan dragons will be looking to win their first major trophy later this month in the challenge cup final against warrington after pulling off a surprising 35—16 win over st helens. the runaway super league leaders were brushed aside by the french club who were fighting relegation last season. it's only the second time catalan have made it into the challenge cup final. it's pretty incredible for the club. last year it was the million pound game and this year it's at wembley. fantastic turnaround, the players have worked extremely hard. we've got three weeks now to get ready for that game, and we'll use all those three weeks to make sure again to hopefully put in a performance something like we did today. eight—time winners warrington wolves comprehensively

beat leeds rhinos 48—12 in the days other semi—final. for the first time, both matches were played back—to—back at the same venue in bolton. andrea dovizioso won the czech moto gp, ending a five—month personal drought and an 11—year one for his ducati team. a crash on the opening lap brought briton bradley smith's race to a premature end in brno, with two other riders also involved, while dovizioso won the race from pole. britain's cal crutchlow slipped to fifth on the final straight before the chequered flag. england all—rounder ben stokes is due to appear at bristol crown court today to face charges of affray following a brawl in the city's streets last september. stokes will be replaced by chris woakes for the second test which gets underway on thursday at lord's. 20—year—old surrey batsman ollie pope has been called up in place of dawid malan. england lead the five—match series 1—0. they're probably still celebrating

that first test victory over india at the weekend. some of them have been taking some down time on the golf course, but it almost ended in tears forjames anderson. he and stuart broad were out playing yesterday, with anderson's ball caught in the trees. his shot had some painful results, bouncing back from a tree root. it hit him in the face and then bounced off further into the trees. anderson is ok despite that knock to the face. he'll be back in action with his england teamates for the second test at lord's on thursday. very nice swing as well. shame about the tree root in the way! one of the stories of the last month has been the irish women's hockey team. their incredible run at the world cup was something of a fairy tale. it came to a crashing end when they were beaten 6—0 by the netherlands.

but for a team which is only part time, going home with silver and a top—ten ranking is a remarkable success. joining us now are head coach graham shaw, as well as players katie mullan, the captain, and anna o'flanagan. hello, everybody, and congratulations. fantastic. katie, how are you feeling today? must be strange, the initial disappointment of losing the final but what a run, top ten, going home with silver, fantastic. it is nice to wake up with a silver medal on your bedside this morning. i would have snatched it off you a month ago if i had the chance. not the result we wanted yesterday, but overall we're on top of the world. how did you spend last night, did you celebrate? you've got this civic reception in dublin tonight to look forward to? there's a few things back home, it will be amazing to go home and see ourfans to see the impact we've had over there as well. if you could pass the microphone over two an hour because

we've only got one for you, and are, going forward, what will this do for hockeyin going forward, what will this do for hockey in ireland —— to and. now the olympics as well because you are a top ten team —— to an. olympics as well because you are a top ten team -- to an. hockey is hopefully going to be put on the map, it's been growing every year, we hope this makes a massive difference. we wanted to create a legacy and to be an inspiration to the girls coming up behind us and we really hope this does this now. every girl picking up a hockey stick back home and the sport grows and we get more funding and we get the support we need. going forward to the olympics, we want to qualify for the olympics, we want to qualify for the olympics, we want to qualify for the olympics first off but we want to continue on this journey and achieve what we can achieve. naga here. hello, all. the graduation is, great achievement. interesting you are talking about the grassroots, we talked to georgia hall earlier talking about golf ——

congratulations. how do you keep up the momentum after people bite and have the initial interest? yeah, that's probably a question for our association. i'm not sure us as players will get too involved in that but i think we can just leading by example and keep playing and creating the excitement, and i think if we continue to do that you will get the younger girls looking up to us get the younger girls looking up to us and wanting to be in our shoes and, yeah, apparently there's a big fuss at home and apparently that is really happening now. then it will be up to the association to put in those processes and plans in place to keep people playing and get new players playing at grassroots level. can you pass the microphone down to the other to graham? graham, wanted to ask, wonderful to have you on this morning talking about reaching a world cup final, but what were your expectations like before the turnit your expectations like before the

turn it given, as mike said, so many of the team are amateur occupiers? —— tournament. looking at the pool we had, usa, india, to matt berry high—ranking sides —— amateur hockey players. we wanted to push them and challenge them. we always felt we could get a result in the first game and then momentum is massive in a tournament environment. after that usa performance, we knew we could push on and get a result against india and obviously results went our way in the pool and then that went onto the quarter—final. getting out of the pool and getting into the crossover games is of the pool and getting into the crossover games is key. but the dream got bigger and bigger as we made the quarter—final and went into the semis and that continued into the semis and that continued into the final. a dream come true and very proud of them. absolutely fantastic. graham, what will this do for in the game in ireland? you

wa nted for in the game in ireland? you wanted a friendly with the netherlands for years, they turned you down, what will they say after all this success? i was only having all this success? i was only having a joke with allison, the dutch coach. they were pretty surprised to play a team ranked 16th in the world ina play a team ranked 16th in the world in a world cup final. somebody told me last night only six teams in the history of the world cup have played in the final, we are the sixth team to do so and to do it ranked 16 in the world is an incredible achievement and testament to the group of players i have. absolutely. congratulations and enjoy the night in dublin. graham, anna and kate. brilliant achievement. thanks, mike. tea m brilliant achievement. thanks, mike. team effort! always a team effort. i wonder who carol spoke to on the tea m wonder who carol spoke to on the team this morning to get the top spotin team this morning to get the top spot in london on the roof of broadcasting house overlooking london in the glorious sunshine. who

did you talk to, carol? the lovely jess sorted the whole it is a beautiful start here and it's very warm in london. blue skies, and i know this is not everyone's cup of tea and if you're looking for significant rainfall, we could be seeing some late friday into saturday but this week's forecast is one of some rain at times. what we have today is to weather fronts. a warm weather front, the semicircle across the northern isles. the second one, the cold front, with the triangles, that is going to sink southwards. clearing the south—east by wednesday. we all have pressured conditions by then. this morning, quite a bit of clout across scotland, northern ireland, cumbria and northumberland, the showery outbreaks of rain. it will clear

scotla nd outbreaks of rain. it will clear scotland so you have a brighter afternoon with a few breaks developing. mr across wales in south—west england. joining the rest of england. hot in the south—east with highs up to 32. this evening in overnight, the front sinks down into southern scotland, wales and south—west england, producing patchy rain in drizzle. the pressure not the most except in the south—east. as they move south eastwards, bumping into high—pressure, it would tend to fizzle. showers in the north. again, generally, the low to high 205 in celsius. as we had an inter wednesday, we could start with

thunderstorms. into the south—east. generally, we are trying the south—east but a weather front sweeping eastwards. but probably not making it into the south—eastern daylight hours. you see from the temperature is how we have got the yellows, even a hint of blue, with the highest temperatures into the near continent and that is when we expect the area of low pressure to come our way. then this year promising to look at the building on greenpoint land. so many people getting in touch with us this morning. as we've been hearing, nearly half a million homes are reportedly planned for so—called green belt land. campaigners say the government is failing to protect it but in response they've told us only a tiny amount of green belt space is going to residential use. i can now speak to tom fyans from the campaign

to protect rural england and, in our london newsroom, siobhain mcdonagh, a labour mp who supports some green belt development. good morning to you both. tom, i wa nt to good morning to you both. tom, i want to start with you. we touched on that report which suggests more and more houses are planned on greenbelt land. sort of unprecedented. half a million homes planned on greenbelt land which is the countryside for 30 million people who live around our towns and cities and we think that is unacceptable. it should be a last resort. it's one of the most popular planning there is. it doesn't surprise me. they want to defend the countryside and developers want to develop in the greenbelt because it is more profitable for them and that's the only reason. in some

circumstances, you would allow all wa nt to circumstances, you would allow all want to allow building in the greenbelt. what is the point of having one? the greenbelt is a great band but i think i have to tell you, a lot of the greenbelt in and around london is not green, it's not accessible, you can't walk on it or enjoy it, you probably wouldn't want to enjoy it because it's waste tips. in one case, it's a car wash. we always wa nt in one case, it's a car wash. we always want more housing but we just don't want it on this spit of land or that bit of land. at some point, we have to say, where are our children and grandchildren going to live? where children and grandchildren going to live ? where are children and grandchildren going to live? where are the 86,000 families going to live who live in temporary accommodation, 122,000 of them children. tom, you are nodding your head. some of this comes down to the definition of what is the greenbelt. that doesn't look very green. it's

not the rolling hills you might imagine. there is a housing crisis and an affordable housing crisis. rule areas often face harder times than urban areas. some specific sites on brown field sites, there are garages which have been disused. a really good example. hospitals being developed. what we don't want to see is open season on greenbelt is because madness lies that way and developers catch him. cashing —— caching. it's a slippery slope because it could open the floodgates. i completely reject that. if you see some of the sites i've given you photos, who would wa nt i've given you photos, who would want to preserve or protected? who speaks for those people who can't afford a home, who got nowhere to

live? afford a home, who got nowhere to live ? somebody afford a home, who got nowhere to live? somebody has got to voice their concerns and it's notjust people who need rented accommodation, its young couples who are moving hundreds of miles away.l few people will argue will lie —— few people will argue will lie —— few people will argue will lie —— few people will argue with the idea that we need to build more affordable homes but it is designated greenbelt. if we allow building on that land, that is the start of a slippery slope. it's ridiculous. it's a car wash it is to tottenham station. the greenbelt is a great brand that we need to be sensible about what place of land we are talking about. is a car wash more important than the three or 4000 families that that council will have in temporary accommodation? that is a point. what are we defining? what is acceptable?‘

derelict site in the greenbelt, a car wash is derelict site in the greenbelt, a carwash is an derelict site in the greenbelt, a car wash is an eyesore, no award would object to that being a development. but they do. what cpre are saying is, a million houses could be built on brown field land where young families could live in urban areas. developers don't want to build on brown field sites. it's more expensive. i am to build on brown field sites. it's more expensive. lam more to build on brown field sites. it's more expensive. i am more than happy to build on brown field sites but thatis to build on brown field sites but that is not enough, it is simply not enough. the size and scale of our housing crisis for people in all sectors isjust so huge and also i wa nt sectors isjust so huge and also i want to say to you about brown field sites in centre in month —— central london, were talking about high—rise developments. we already know that putting low income families with children on high—rise blocks does not work. most of those families

wa nt not work. most of those families want to live in houses with gardens just like the rest of us. looking to the greenbelt to solve those problems is fool ‘s the greenbelt to solve those problems is fool '5 gold because developers are not interested in building those homes. the government is not promoting those homes. if the greenbelt was being used to things like that in certain sites, the community might have a bit more sympathy. they are just seeing executive homes being planned. time is against us. this debate will go on. we will continue this debate, i am sure. i will hand you back. excellent, excellent. all dimensions and comments we have been getting. a lovely story. a wildlife park in south yorkshire has become home to four rare brown bears, after a remarkable rescue mission. as you can see, that is riku, who

you saw a few minutes ago, testing out the banana. two days ago, he met grass for the very first time. his brother, let's see what he feels about the banana ? brother, let's see what he feels about the banana? look at those claws. let's try a bit of banana. we are not that sure about the banana. we are sure about that banana. i mightjust give him a tomato. while we let them eat breakfast, come around here and we can meet georgina. georgina, you saved the bears and found them two years ago. why were they allowed to be kept in such a condition? protection measures in japan are such a condition? protection measures injapan are different so animals can be kept in concerning conditions but we are happy that the

museum was happy to have these bears re— homed as well. museum was happy to have these bears re- homed as well. simon, many people will see these and say, but they are still in captivity. could they are still in captivity. could they not have been released to the wild? no, these bears have been in cages their whole lives. theyjust haven't got the strength, the mental capacity to survive in the wild. they need to be kept in captivity but we need to recreate as much as we can and natural complex environment. how endangered are they? brown bears around the globe, is concerned that injapan, 5000, 10,000 in the wild. they are vulnerable to extinction. what's it like seeing them? you saw them two

yea rs like seeing them? you saw them two years ago. just described the emotion, grass sticking, the water. it's absolutely amazing and wonderful to see impacting mike baird. foraging forfood, it's absolutely amazing. this is the home to the next couple of days but through there, there's about three acres at the lakes, they've got trees, so much more to explore. we are going to leave you with this bear and we are going to leave you with this bearand we are are going to leave you with this bear and we are going into the news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel. london's cab drivers are coming together with the unite union and other organisations to bring legal action against uber. they‘ re claiming damages and loss of earnings due to the alleged unlawful operation of the service. uber says it won't comment on the announcement as it says it's not clear what the basis for any action would be. mystery surrounds the identity of a man who was pulled

from the river thames at the putney embankment. the man — who's thought to be in his 305 — is in a critical condition. he wasn't carrying any id but does have some distinctive tattoos. police hope a friend or family member will recognise his description and come forward. pushed, shoved, called names and denied access. just some of the experiences faced by many disabled people as they try to get around london. campaigners are calling for more awareness of the obstacles for people with impairments. amit lost his sight five years ago and now relies on guide dog keeka to get about, but explained some of the challenges. when we're standing on the platform waiting to board a train ora tube, people acknowledge us, people talk to us before the train is there and say how wonderful these dogs are, but the moment the door opens on the train they will barge in and push us over, walk over keeka and get themselves on the train first.

with the clear skies overnight. little patchy cloud in places. temperature—wise, similar to last night, down to between 14—18 degrees. so, tomorrow we start the day on a similar note, very sunny to start the morning. and as we head through the day we see a little bit more in the way of cloud and then the possibility of some thundery showers in the early evening. temperature—wise up to about 32 degrees. those thundery showers could be quite heavy where they fall. they won't affect everyone as they are showers, but we will see some rather lively activity overnight. and then there is more wet weather to come at the end of the week and a much fresher feel to the weather from wednesday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty.

of helping an offender, have been released on conditional bail. samantha's colleagues described her as a dedicated and committed midwife. in a statement, her family thanked the public for its support, but asked for privacy at this difficult time. chi chi izundu, bbc news. officials in indonesia say the number of people killed in a powerful earthquake on the island of lombok has risen to more than 90, with hundreds more suffering head injuries and broken bones. it's the second earthquake to hit the popular tourist island in a week. lebbo diseko reports. running for their lives as the earthquake struck, people at this hotel in lombok dashed to safety. others simply called on god as they felt the power of mother nature. traumatised survivors faced a night outside, the buildings too unsafe after two after—shocks. at this hospital near the epicentre, patients had to be moved outside.

many of the injured from across the region were transferred to nearby bali, which also felt the quake. doctors and nurses desperately tried to save lives in conditions that were farfrom ideal. translation: we will place patients here in the parking lot and also in the hallway of the hospital. we will build emergency tents so our medical teams can concentrate on handling patients. as rescuers search for people amongst what's left of the buildings, hope, as a survivor is found. unable to walk but alive. it's just a week since another quake hit in a region that is prone to them. there are no guarantees when the next one might be or when it will be safe for these people to return to their homes. lebo diseko, bbc news. us president donald trump has admitted that his son met a russian lawyer injune 2016 "to get

information on an opponent". in a tweet, he said that donald junior‘s meeting was "totally legal and is done all the time in politics". he added that he didn't know about it. special counsel robert mueller is investigating us intelligence findings that russia conspired to sway the election in mr trump's favour. north korean media has called on the usa to drop its sanctions against the regime, they say they have shown good faith in stopping missile tests and handing over the remains of us troops. it is the second time. it is the second time this week that north korea appears to be accusing the us of failing to meet expectations of the deal made between donald trump and kimjong—un. wildfires raging across large areas of california have been declared a major emergency by president trump. he's authorised more government aid to be made available to help thousands of firefighters

tackling the blazes. high temperatures and strong winds are causing the fires to spread even more. seven people have died and thousands have been evacuated. police have rescued 11 emaciated children from a filthy makeshift compound in the us state of new mexico. officers searching for a missing toddler raided the site near the state border with colorado. the child was not there but the others were, along with five adults. two men have been arrested. the cost of rural crime soared to £45 million last year — the highest level since 2013. farmers are resorting to methods like building trenches to protect their properties against a growing wave of vehicle, equipment and livestock theft by organised gangs. ian wight reports. it's an idea that comes from medieval times — moving mounds of earth to create trenches, ditches, and barriers, to stop criminals getting onto farmland. this scheme in gloucestershire is encouraged by the police and is provided free of charge by local companies. this year we are seeing people bringing things like earth banks — they're sort of medieval fortifications, last used 1,000

years ago — they are putting up stockade—like fences around theirfarms, and using these in conjunction with technology like cctv. yorkshire sheep farmer david knows too well what it is like to be targeted by criminals. in the last 18 months it has got beyond a joke. we were being visited at least once a fortnight. i would put it down to two different groups: one group were pinching tools and small items, but our biggest problem is our quad bikes. with equipment costing hundreds of thousands of pounds being kept in remote, isolated areas, sophisticated, sometimes dangerous gangs of criminals know exactly what they are looking for. we know organised crime gangs are working notjust in europe but across the world. that will be paying for other things. for large quantities of drugs to come back in, for debts to be

paid off, forfirearms smuggling. the government says police funding will increase by over £460 million this year. every chief constable in england has now signed up to a national plan to tackle rural crime. but the police say farmers, too, must do more to keep their properties safe. ian wight, bbc news. campaigners are calling on crisps giant walkers and other manufacturers to stop using plastic in their packets. its parent company pepsico, has already pledged to make packets 100% recyclable, compostable or bio—degradable by 2025, but the campaign group 38 degrees says action needs to be taken now. it argues that 28 billion bags of crisps would be eaten by then. i think what this campaign is about, is saying to the big companies as well, you know, big british brands like walkers, who produce things that we all want to eat, we want to be able to choose to eat crisps when we eat crisps, without knowing that the packet that's left behind afterwards will outlive us. us pop star demi lovato has spoken for the first time since she was taken to hospital

after suffering a suspected overdose last month. in an instagram post, the 25—year—old singer said that she had always been transparent about herjourney with addiction, and that it was something she would continue to try to overcome. it is eight minutes past eight, thank you forjoining us, carol will have the weather and michael have the sports news later. official statistics released later are expected to paint a stark picture of drug—related deaths in britain. earlier in the summer, the european drug report found that we have the highest number of drug overdose deaths of 30 european countries. new figures released today by the office of national statistics will include why people died and the substances involved. we'll discuss this in a moment but first, our correspondent michael buchanan went to meet george, who's taken heroin for the past 45 years. i'm in a terrible shape because of drugs. severe leg ulcers, deep vein thrombosis, mental

issues, breathing issues. terrible circulation problems. drug addiction has killed several friends in recent years and now, aged 63, he knows it'll kill him too. it will catch up with me pretty soon, i would have thought. pretty soon? i'm amazed i've made it this far. totally amazed. for george, who's lived through much of britain's so—called war on drugs, there is one overriding regret — that he couldn't say no. look at me, this is what you get from it if you are daft enough to carry on. this is no party? no party whatsoever, i didn't sign up to end up like this. michael buchanan reporting there from widnes. let's discuss this with harry sumnall, professor of substance abuse at liverpooljohn moores university. hejoins us now. good morning. good morning. the

debate is due today at 9:30am, it is largely expected that we will see a rise particularly in drug related deaths, and a harder end of drugs. does this surprise you? it doesn't, u nfortu nately, over does this surprise you? it doesn't, unfortunately, over the last decade or so we unfortunately, over the last decade or so we have unfortunately, over the last decade or so we have seen an unfortunately, over the last decade or so we have seen an increase in the number of deaths due to drugs misuse. often it is drugs like ecstasy that get the headlines because these deaths are associated with younger people, especially in the females. yet most of the deaths occur in high—risk excluded populations and associated with heroin and crack cocaine. it's not just related overdoses although that is important. we are talking about a population who are usually ill in their 405 or 505 suffering from a range health conditions, so we need to make sure that any response to drug—related deaths doesn't just focus on the drug users but also the

drug using population. britain's most senior police chief cressida dick said there is a challenge that a group of middle class people sitting around happily thinking about global warming, fair trade and environmental protection or organic food, yet they say there is no harm in taking some cocaine. she says there is, there is misery throughout there is, there is misery throughout the supply chain, her close to the truth is that? i think it's certainly true that contain consumption in this country has a global impact. —— cocaine consumption. yet i don't think it is a middle—class issue however we want to define that. statistics say that powder cocaine use cuts across all social demographics, notjust so—called middle—class users. social demographics, notjust so-called middle-class users. is this down to axis, the ease of obtaining it? yes, we know cocaine

powder is never as pure as it is at the moment and countries are producing more cocaine so while police are seizing us cocaine on the streets of these factors mean increased availability. people might be surprised that this country is one of the most prolific users in europe at the moment, what are we doing that is different from other european countries because i don't think people particularly think of the uk as a load of casual drug users! i think historically that has been the case, but over the last decade drug use has decreased significantly especially in young people, not just illegal significantly especially in young people, notjust illegal drugs but alcohol as well. yet in the last couple of years we have seen signs that uses increasing slightly. cocaine use increased 25% over the last 12 months. so something is happening. and drug use comes in trends as well. almost like

fashions. as well as market factors that i was talking about, is also related to fashion, culture and lifestyle factors as well. could that be linked to the use of heroin in seaside towns, or more accelerated than elsewhere? in seaside towns, or more accelerated than elsewhere ?|j in seaside towns, or more accelerated than elsewhere? i think that's important, we seek most drug—related harm, whether deaths or overdoses in deprived communities, historically deprived communities. this can be seaside towns all former industrial areas, often they suffer from a range of social issues, not just around drug use. so to respond to drug use we need to try to address some of those really fundamental issues affecting those communities, not just drugs. fundamental issues affecting those communities, notjust drugs. you say trends are changing amongst younger people and they are trying to be more healthy, considered more health—conscious than the middle—aged generation now. why is this not translating into drugs? it

is translating into food and alcohol, why not drugs? there has been some decline in young people so it's not all bad news commits to we need more education and prevention in school. i think that attitudes are changing because of the pressures that young people are often finding themselves under. this great concern at the moment around the of prescription medicines. there are some imaging reports that younger people for example using prescription medicines, anti—anxiety drugs to self medicate. but i think in general young people are becoming more health—conscious and about the impact of substances and behaviour in their lives. they don't want it to interfere with school or their family lives getting on with their friends. young people are aware of this. professor sumnall, professor of substance abuse atjohn moores university, thank you. time for the weather

and carol's on the roof of broadcasting house in london. it looks glorious? it is. make the most of them, we have them for another two days. in heathrow it is almost 22 degrees. the forecast for this week, we will see some rain at times but not everywhere. we are looking at fresher conditions coming our way, especially across the whole of the uk. we have two weather fronts across as at the moment. one is indicated by the semicircle and that is bringing rain across the northern isles. it will clear. but the blue triangle will bring fresher conditions behind. what we have this morning is rain in the northern isles. it clears away quite quickly. we have patchy rain and drizzle across northern and western

scotland, northern ireland, cumbria and also in northumberland. that will clear from scotland and and also in northumberland. that will clearfrom scotland and it and also in northumberland. that will clear from scotland and it will brighten up. it will also be sunny across england and wales when we lose the low cloud, mist and will fog from wales and the south west but it will be cloudy along the bristol channel coast. temperatures up bristol channel coast. temperatures up to 31,30 bristol channel coast. temperatures up to 31, 30 two celsius in the south east. generally looking to the lower to high 205. overnight the weather front will have slipped into southern scotland, northern england, wales and south—west england. producing patchy drizzle and a lot of hill frog across the lake district and the southern uplands. afresh at night for us all except for the southeast, where there will bea for the southeast, where there will be a lower rating. tomorrow we start with the weather front in the same place. as it bumps into the high pressure in the southeast it will fizzle. a lot of dry weather around tomorrow, a few showers across the north—west. temperatures widely in the low 205 to the high 205 but in

the low 205 to the high 205 but in the south—eastern quadrant of the uk, up to 33. as we head into wednesday, we could see some thunderstorms imported overnight from france in the south—east. they will fade and then we are looking at dry weather. but in the west and riverfront will introduce rain and that will move west to east as we go through the day. not getting into the southeast until later, if we see any rainfrom the southeast until later, if we see any rain from that. looking at fresher conditions, especially in the south east which will be a good 8 degrees lower than we were on tuesday. then it will remain fresh and then there is a chance of a deeper area of low pressure coming our way late friday into saturday bringing significant rainfall across the uk. i will keep you posted on that and if you are screaming out for rain, i hope the forecast doesn't change. you will love this next interview,

we have a dog in the studio with us. we are talking about mojo. the first police dog to arrive at manchester arena in the minutes after last year's bombing is retiring, after more than seven years of service. mojo, a border collie, worked through the night to search for more explosives. he developed stress—related alopecia, losing a lot of fur. hejoins us now, along with his handler pc phil healy. he looks very happy now, ready for retirement and will be spending it with you. the relationship you have is one that humans would find hard to break. he was the first dog on the scene at the manchester bombing. tell us what you had to do when you got there and just how life progressed after that for you both? on arrival, it was to clear the area

which was used as a triage centre for the casualties. we went through there and then we had to go into where the blast had gone off which meant we had to search around property that had been dropped and also where the deceased were encased secondary devices in the area. you have seen some terrible sites, so how does that get transferred to mojo? he can feel what i am feeling and we have a bond and a working relationship. he could pick up on what i was feeling and he knew this wasn't a training day, it was something completely different. from there, you could see a complete change in his demeanour and the way he was working. when we were talking earlier, you feeling in his lead? they say it goes up and down the lead, so if you hold his lead

tightly and start pulling back, they realise it is something different that i am not happy with. we talk about people who have been through experiences like this, emergency services and those who have witnessed that attack and we understand counselling would be given and you receive counselling soon given and you receive counselling soon after and it helps you with your process. we talked about mojo having stress—related alopecia. you just don't think the animal will need some kind of help, some support? it was the way he dealt with it, he got into a stressed situation and he started to lose pa rt situation and he started to lose part of his birth. thejob paid for his veterinary bills so they could make sure there wasn't anything more serious. we can see pictures of it here, it was across his back? towards his neck. did his demeanour change? he's working window changed.

normally they get a 45 minute window then you have two rest them. that dropped off and his wanting to work dropped off and his wanting to work dropped off and his wanting to work dropped off as well. we boosted him with food and vitamins and as time has gone on, his coat has grown back. not only have you brought mojo m, back. not only have you brought mojo in, you have brought in this magnificent award. people will have seen magnificent award. people will have seen this at crufts? we were awarded the humanitarian dog award 2017 at crufts. it was a major honour which was issued by the national police chief counsel? you must be so proud of him? very proud of him. he is pa rt of him? very proud of him. he is part of your family, is he officially retired? he is officially retired now. will you be getting anotherjob retired now. will you be getting another job daily—macro dog? retired now. will you be getting

another job daily— macro dog ?|j already have,. is there jealousy in the house? he gets to sit inside the house and wave outside the others in the kennel compound. there have been some other high—profile cases that mojo has been there for? part of his role is on the railways and we cover all situations, such as any suspicious packages or incidents, any bomb related calls that come in and we will go in and do clearances. we do things along the line of, any royalty that travels by train on the royalty that travels by train on the royal train or any others. he has been through all of those as well.|j would never dare to speak for anyone who has been through as anything as horrific as the manchester bomb, but people are grateful for you and for

mojo and only wish him the best in his retirement. and you in your future work. what breed of dog have you got now? a labrador. mojo just spotted himself on the television. you are a handsome man. lovely to see you as well, mojo. he has won over our hearts. let's talk to ben about banking results and other stories in the business well this morning. do we have to, i want to talk about mojo. europe's biggest bank hsbc has reported a big rise in profits. ben has more on that and the other main business stories this morning. good morning, hsbc says profits were up 4.6% in the first six months of the year to just under $11 billion. the bank has been cutting costs recently — it's slashed 87,000 jobs over the last few years. the new boss says things are back on track. troubled department store chain

house of fraser has had a bit of a repreive. it's settled a dispute with some of its landlords, who had been blocking plans to close 31 stores. those closures can now go ahead. campaigners say the government isn't doing enough to protect our green belt land around towns and cities. the campaign to protect rural england says nearly half a million homes are planned on these sites and not enough of them are affordable. the government says green belt sites are only built on in exceptional circumstances. we will come to this story now. and the boss of british airways has criticised long queues at heathrow, saying arrivals face two—hour waits to get through border control. alex cruz says the queues at the london airport are "significantly worse" than other major hubs across the world. the home office said most of those arriving at heathrow passed border control within 25 minutes for europe and 45 minutes for those coming from elsewhere. the reason i wanted to talk about the green story lust is because so

many people have been in touch this morning. some sites green belt land should be available to be built on in certain circumstances, but others saying it is a slippery slope. we have quite a few of them here. people talking about population control as well. patricia saying populations are increasing and there will always be a housing crisis. cheap, tiny homes are the answers but developers want money and not roots overheads. someone else says it is time we started talking about population control. fewer kids. it will not stop until we talk about it. building on green belt land is not the answer, says sharon. where she lives she says a serious amount of houses are being built but then they rent houses to those who cannot afford them. how are people expected to save £30,000 for a deposit. it is such a common complaint?

the mp we spoke to said such a lot of cases, what is designated green belt is being used for other things. she said a car wash and a petrol station. some on getting in touch, victoria said green belt land is still a habitat for species, animals and birds. it should be about protecting the greenery and the life that goes with it. not what we imagine, rolling fields.” that goes with it. not what we imagine, rolling fields. iwas reading victoria's comment and she also says if you cannot afford to stay in an area, you cannotjust expect affordable housing to be found, you have to move. so what is affordable? what would the rules be that would allow you to build there? there is a lot of space in city centres but developers don't like it because they have to clean up the land and put in the services like sewers etc. it has been a good

debate. we have had dogs, birds, golfers and hockey. so much more coming up. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, we do have showers this week that sunshine across england and wales, perhaps more in low cloud across western areas, the cold front brings outbreaks of drizzle, some bright intervals developing in the north of scotland and the central belt, some showers just feeding into the west and it will be breezy in the west and it will be breezy in the north—west, temperatures reaching a maximum of 31 celsius in the south—east. this evening and overnight the cold front begins to

extend to wales and south—west england bringing patchy outbreaks of rain. behind the cold front parts of scotla nd rain. behind the cold front parts of scotland and northern ireland will see one or two showers, clearer skies in the south—east, humid and warm night with overnight lows of 18 celsius in london. tomorrow the cold front across southern scotland, fun of england wales & west, patchy outbreaks of framework in south—east, the cloud thinning and breaking, sunny spells developing for the finals of scotland and northern ireland, some showers, temperatures in the south—east, a little hotter, maximum 32 celsius, as we go into wednesday we see the shift, hot air being pushed away by that yellow colour. it will turn fresher for many in the south—east. on wednesday we are looking at sunny spells and showers. showers working their way in from the west, some could be heavy but look at the temperatures in the high teens

scotla nd temperatures in the high teens scotland and northern ireland, significantly fresh in the south east though, with highs of 24 celsius. that your forecast. this is business live from bbc news with ben bland and david eades. china accuses president trump of "wishful thinking" and "deceitful drama" in a highly unusual attack over trade. live from london, that's our top story on monday 6th august. governing a country is not like doing business — that's the warning from chinese state media to the us president — so what will it take for the world's two biggest economies to settle their differences? also in the programme...
