south—east are going to have a good 90t south—east are going to have a good 90 t degree —— 10 degrees drop in temperature and it is a forecast of sunshine and showers across the uk. war in15 minutes. sunshine and showers across the uk. war in 15 minutes. —— more. it's wednesday, the 8th august. our top story — there's growing pressure on the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson as a muslim peer calls for him to be kicked out of the conservative party over comments he made about women who wear a burka. let's get more detail now from our political correspondent, jonathan blake who is in westminster for us this morning. jonathan, this row has been rumbling on for a few days, but the pressure is building? there are now concerns about whether 01’ there are now concerns about whether or not boris johnson there are now concerns about whether or not borisjohnson should have a place in the conservative party. lot of criticism about what he had to say, perhaps not the substance of what he was arguing in his column, but more the way he chose to say it and the language he used. let's recap exactly what he said in his

column in the daily telegraph. he said... now, after a fair amount of criticism for those comments, yesterday morning the party chairman said that boris johnson yesterday morning the party chairman said that borisjohnson should apologise and yesterday theresa may was asked whether she thought what he said was islamic phobic and whether she thought he should apologise as well. i think boris johnson used language in describing people 's appearance has obviously caused offence, it was the wrong language to use on the key issue about women's ability to wear the burqua. if they choose to do so,

that should be a matter for the woman to choose. and apology wouldn't be enough for some. lord sheik said he should be kicked out. apology is not enough, we should ta ke apology is not enough, we should take more severe action against this man. take it from him, why not? friends borisjohnson are defending his comments, saying that doing anything other than allowing him to say what he said about the debate as to whether fullface coverings should be banned will pander to extremist we're. he is off on holiday somewhere, he might be out of government and out of the country by talking about this divisive issue is ensuring that he is not out of the headlines. police have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a seven—year—old boy in a house fire. joel urhie died at his home in deptford, south—east london, in the early hours of yesterday morning. two women jumped to safety from the first floor of the house.

0fficers believe it was arson but joel was unlikely to be the target. food giants kelloggs and kfc have been forced to remove adverts after one was placed near a school and the other aired during a cartoon. the advertising standards authority found they were promoting foods high in fat, salt and sugar to children. new rules on advertising junk food to under—16s came into effect last year. here's chi chi izundu. these complaints involve some of the biggest names in the food industry. the watchdog upheld two complaints, this kelloggs cereal advert and this kfc ad, which was on a phone box close to a primary school. the advertising standards authority found the companies have broken rules over advertising food high in fat, sugar two children under 16.

there were two upheld rulings against kfc and kelloggs and we are telling them we can't —— that they cannot have those ads. cough there will be a message that goes out to the companies as well to remind them they will have two take care when placing these ads. they dismissed two complaints against mcdonald's. ina two complaints against mcdonald's. in a statement, kfc apologised, saying their advertisement was a total mistake. while kelloggs says they can now advertise on children's tv because it has reduced the sugar in their serial. the children know about it anyway, so they don't need adverts to tell them about it, they already know. i do think there should be a ban on it, know i don't. i think that us as parents have the right to decide what we give our children or how much amount to take in. health campaigners say one in

three children is now overweight or obese by the age of 11 and the banning of junk food ads obese by the age of 11 and the banning ofjunk food ads is the start, but much more needs to be done. and we'll discuss this in more detail injust over an hour with someone from the advertising standards agency, which made the ruling. that's at ten past seven. a petition that could force a by—election in a key seat in northern ireland and remove the current mp ian paisley will open later. the dup politician is already suspended over his failure to declare two family holidays paid for by the sri lankan government. he's apologised, but will face a by—election if 10% of his constituents sign the petition. california's biggest wildfire on record is expected to burn for the rest of the month according to us officials. eight blazes covering an area almost as big as los angeles are now burning out of control. president donald trump has declared the situation a "major disaster". peter bowes reports. california's new normal. raging wildfires eclipsing previous

records in their size and ferocity. about 150 miles north of san francisco, two fires have merged to create this monster. its sheer size is overwhelming, about the same area as the city of los angeles. fuelled by intensely hot weather, strong winds, low humidity and tinder dry brush, the flames are consuming everything in their path. what can you say? it makes you sick to your stomach. everything they worked for all of their life gone in a heartbeat. the firefighting effort is intense. we are hitting it with the aircraft, cooling it down and that is letting the ground crews in there to put out the fire. throughout california, more than 111,000 firefighters, some from overseas, and hundreds of us army personnel are battling at least 16 major wildfires. weather forecasters are warning of no let up in the searing

temperatures, it could take weeks to bring the current fires under control and the long, hot summer is far from over. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. officials in indonesia say sunday's earthquake has left more than 80,000 people needing shelter on the island of lombok. rescuers are continuing to search through the rubble to look for survivors. several days after the quake, the second to hit the area in a week aftershocks are still being felt. the number of dead stands at 105. a 31 year old man has been charged with the murder of the rapper sidique kamara, who was stabbed to death in south london, last week. mr kamara, also know as incognito, was part of the controversial "drill" music scene which is thought to glamorise violence. kenneth umezie is due to appear at bromley magistrates court later today. elon musk has said he's

considering taking the electric car company, tesla, back into private ownership. the billionaire said he'd secured the more than $70 billion needed to buy back the shares. trading in tesla was briefly halted on the new york stock exchange after the announcement, but shares eventually ended the day up 11%. a project being launched today is attempting to map all of the public defibrillators in england and scotland. the british heart foundation is creating a database of all the sites, so that 999 call handlers know where they are and can direct people to them. ben ando has more. public defibrillators are in thousands of locations, easy—to—use, and save lives. apply the patch to the chest, as shown in the picture. apply to patient‘s bare skin. they will tell you exactly what to do, so that even

without medical training, anybody can make the difference between life and death. there are tens of thousands of them in stations, public buildings, offices, and department stores — so why does the uk have far worse cardiac arrest survival rates than countries scandinavia, or in the united states, where they have similar coverage? if you are out and about and your heart suddenly stops, the british heart foundation says your chances of living barely one in ten. that is partly because a lot of us don't know cpr, but also, while there are plenty of defibrillators around, in an emergency, how do you find one? their locations are usually held by ambulance crews, but the british heart foundation says that knowledge can be patchy, and even 999 operators do not always know where the nearest is. and that means that potentially life—saving public defibrillators are used in only 3% of cases. so working with nhs england, nhs scotland, and microsoft, it is launching a year—long scheme map locations,

create a national database, and make sure they are regularly checked and repaired. it is hoped that this simple measure could improve survival rates and save lives. ben ando, bbc news. archaeologists in mexico have discovered sets of human remains that could be as much as 7,000 years old. three sets of human remains were unearthed in southern mexico and are thought to be from the early ancestors of the mayan civilisation. they were known for building cities in honduras, guatemala and el salvador. the skeletons are on display at the anthropology museum in mexico city. that could be creepy. quite fascinating. we are struggling with oui’ fascinating. we are struggling with our words, i don't know what is wrong. what am i going to do? i managed and apology and then

struggled with ben. —— anthropology. crosstalk. when you talk about pronouncing things correctly then you pay close attention to what you are going to say next. dina asher smith, not only a fantastic sprinter, she is world class. what a great night for british athletics in the european championships, as their sprinters stormed their way to a double 100 metres success. dina asher smith got the party started by winning the women's gold with a new british record and fastest time of the year. she's bidding for a treble at these championships, now targeting the 4x100 metre title, along with the defence

of her 200 metre crown. minutes later, there was more 100 metre glory with a british one — two in the men's race. zharnel hughes ran a championship record to win gold with reece precod taking silver. there was also success in the pool, where britain's women won the 4x200 metre freestyle relay. 17 year old freya anderson winning her 2nd relay gold of the championships. duncan scott also won 200m freestyle gold. and it was good day for britain's divers. jack laugher winning gold in the 1 metre springboard, as he aims to repeat the hat trick of titles he won at the commonwealth games. idid i did attempt something like that on my holidays. didn't work. how did it and? —— and. —— end. the mother does a perfect dive, i will have to find it now. crosstalk. will find it and get it out there

for you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it is lovely. i do know where it is, but i will try and find out. today what you will notice in the south—east it is going to be much colder than yesterday. use the word colder than yesterday. use the word cold loosely. yesterday, the top temperature was 30 point two celsius. the many parts of the uk, it is going to feel fresher than yesterday and we are looking at a few showers. some showers could prove to be heavy. there is quite a bit of clout across some parts of the uk as well. this brought thunderstorms into the south—east last night and they are now cleared away. a few showers dotted across south—west england and some across the north—west courtesy of this weather front ringing those showers in. —— bringing. breezy particularly

in the north. we were watched the cloud now this morning. quite a bit of sunshine around, peppering of showers in the west, some of those drifting to the east. you could catch the odd heavy one and have thunder embedded in it as well. look at those temperatures. no 30s anywhere. yesterday was just over 33, and today is around the mid— 20s. as we had through the evening and overnight period, there still will be some showers around, many will be some showers around, many will fade with some clear skies as well. loud building across the south—east and we will see some showery —— showery outbreaks of rain here and another system coming into the north—west is also bringing some rain. a fresher and night and temperatures about 15. if you are in

scotla nd temperatures about 15. if you are in scotland or northern ireland in rural areas, temperatures down into rural areas, temperatures down into rural -- rural areas, temperatures down into rural —— single figures. tomorrow we start off with this rain and then it reduced and eight. some heady bursts anywhere from the wash down to the south coast. at the same time we have another system coming in producing some more showers and again there is a chance it could be heavy and thundery. we have a dry slice of weather in between with a fair bit of sunshine. you might catch the odd shower but again, they will be hit and miss. temperatures, 19. it has been a while since we have seen that in london. friday, still a lot of dry weather around, sunshine as well but we have showers in the west and some of those will be quite heavy. later we will see rain coming in across the south west. it leads us into the weekend. i told you yesterday the forecast for the weekend changed slightly. we

have a deepening area of low pressure in the atlantic. we thought it would cross the uk and yesterday it would cross the uk and yesterday it tracked further north and today we still think that is the case. the track will be further north through scotla nd track will be further north through scotland and northern england and also northern ireland. not much rain by the looks of it in the south. we will see you later this morning. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian leads on theresa may's intervention over comments made by borisjohnson about the burka. it says she has rebuked him but sidestepped the question of whether or not he was islamophobic. the telegraph also reports mrjohnson's refusal to back down on the comments made in his column in the paper, quoting an ally who said he was speaking up for liberal values. the sun leads on the death of 7—year—old joel urhie in a house fire that is being treated as murder by police. it is feared this was a gang arson

attack on his family home. and the times reports that a quarter of staff working on the hs2 rail project were paid more than £100,000 in salary and perks last year. the picture are of two people that have made quite a bit of cash out of mixer drinks, shares worth well over £100 million. and one of the most read stories on the bbc news website this morning is that new south wales in australia is now entirely in drought. we are seeing a lot of extreme weather at the moment. last week was 47 degrees in spain. we were wrecked —— we were waiting for the record of 48 but didn't get it. let's look

inside. who wants to go first? thank you. let's have a look at what is going on in the business pages, and this is the story in all the papers today. the front page of the ft, this is the daily telegraph and this is the lone mask. you might recognise him. he is actually said to be behind the character that robert downey to be behind the character that robert downeer put together for iron man and he is an excellent marry fellow —— elon musk. he is the founder and ceo of tesla. he said on twitter he wants to take the carmaker private and if it was, it would be the biggest buyout deal of its type over 70 billion, an extraordinary amount of money, and we are getting used to these outbursts from people on twitter. but how seriously do you take them and surely he will be in breach because it is market information.

but also, it is quite exciting in some ways because he likes to push boundaries. what he said if he feels almost restricted by at being responsible for having to account himself to shareholders. if he takes it private, he can do what he likes. it is up to him. one of the problems he has got is a large bit of the stock is actually shorter, people ta ke stock is actually shorter, people take it and have the option to sell it. lots of people used the stock to gamble on the fate of the dampening and that is not what you —— company and that is not what you —— company and that is not what you —— company and that is not what you want.|j wa nt and that is not what you want.|j want to show you this picture of ashton smith winning... and she has just moved out of home and there she is, the fastest woman on the planet is, the fastest woman on the planet is the. what an incredible year she has had. i expect to see a huge

amount more from her. she is not just great in terms of british and european success, just great in terms of british and european success, she is great on the world stage. you get this? abraham lincoln. it is the rooneys in washington. having a look around dc. two of the boys sightseeing and settling into new life there.|j dc. two of the boys sightseeing and settling into new life there. i have a headline that will be out. i will read the story and then you have to guess the headline. it is on the back. don't look. a row broke out over a seven foot kareela user as an obstacle over a seven foot kareela user as an o bsta cle o n over a seven foot kareela user as an obstacle on crazy golf course after resident complains that she was looking into their homes. residents dubbed the fibreglass primate when it was unveiled as the new feature ofa it was unveiled as the new feature of a course in devon. the gorilla was positioned facing away from the sea to appease the owners of the houses but they have continued to

complain because now they can see the gorilla's backside. so not very happy, these people. it is an ongoing issue with the council. the headline, anyone? king kong... peeping kong! that is very good. how can you top that? thank you very much, everyone. later today, the prime minister and the duke of cambridge will attend a ceremony in northern france to mark the centenary of the battle of amiens. the conflict marked the start of the decisive allied hundred days offensive, which would help secure victory over german troops and bring about the end the first world war. —— to the first world war. here's robert hall. the tallest cathedral in france, a landmark for 800 years and familiar to the soldiers who had been brought here from all over the western front for a surprise attack like no other in four years of war. by august 7, the plan was ready.

this tower was built to commemorate australian troops, some of whom fought north of amiens. if you stood here on august 8, 1918, you would have seen the smoke and flames as allied artillery destroyed german guns, and you would have heard the rumble of the engines as 500 tanks and over 50,000 troops began to move forward through the early morning fog to enemy positions. by lunchtime on the first day, the allies had advanced eight miles into enemy territory. men and machines working together. and yet after the disastrous losses of previous battles, few men realised that the tide was turning. they expected that it was going to go on. peter barton has been examining german interviews with allied soldiers captured during the battle. there were thousands of prisoners and they all agree, or 90% of them agree,

that it will be the following year, yet again, the following year before the germans are beaten. they don't see, even at the beginning of 0ctober1918, when the armistice is within touching distance, they don't realise it would happen. commanders on both sides knew differently. the flood of exhausted, demoralised german prisoners spoke volumes. six allied countries under a single commander had changed the course of the war. the significance of amiens was at the heart of rehearsals for today's commemoration. it was part of an journey to a negotiated peace and the importance of carrying that message to new generations. they shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. 13—year—old sydney joins her father in the cathedral. i think it's important so we understand what sacrifices

were made. there is a saying that for our today, they gave their tomorrow. that is an important saying because it's very truthful. and stories from those who were there will reinforce that message. we travelled at night and stayed in the woods in the daytime. it was supposed to be a surprise. the canadians captured 27,000 prisoners and the whole thing of 45,000 prisoners, besides all the ones that were were killed. there were a lot killed besides that. the german high command called it a black day for the german army. we called it the beginning of the last 100 days. robert hall, bbc news. we will be there as it later in the programme. some lovely coverage from robert. still to come on breakfast — some wednesday morning inspiration for you. this is vicky gilbert. she's set to swim across the english channel. a challenge in itself,

people have been left stranded. the sole purpose, this wonderful service is to get them out and back home again. 0bviously, why would someone, an organisation takes that safety net away? skateboarders on the south bank will continue a long tradition which started in the late ‘60s. the area known as the undercroft will be restored following a fundraising effort. the campaign raised more than £700,000. works will begin in early 2019. staffordshire bull terriers and greyhounds are topping the list of dogs deemed unfashionable and more likely to be abandoned. new research suggests animal shelters are seeing an increase in requests for more popular pets like french bulldogs. pugs are the most requested breed with experts believing the appeal is led by online trends attracting millions of followers. new water refill stations at canary wharf mean visitors can now help to reduce the number of single—use plastic bottles. seven new fountains have been installed in the area's malls. they are the first in a uk shopping

between showers. temperatures fresher than yesterday with a high of 24 with the south—westerly breeze. we will see the cloud increasing after some late spells of sunshine, and we could see some patchy outbreaks of rain and resilient to the early hours. temperatures fresher than last night, 13 to 15 celsius. tomorrow, a cloudy day to come with some showery eight —— outbreaks of rain. temperatures cooler than today, a maximum of 19 celsius. sunny spells and showers friday. looking a lot cooler, isn't it? that is good news for us, i suppose. 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. it is approaching 6:30am. coming up — tennis player serena williams pulled out of a tournament after feeling like she was in a funk and not a good mother. we'll look at the challenges women

we need more severe policy. take the whip from him, why not? police have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a seven—year—old boy in a house fire. joel urhie died at his home in deptford, south—east london, in the early hours of yesterday morning. two women jumped to safety from the first floor of the house. 0fficers believe it was arson but joel was unlikely to be the target. kellogg's and kfc have been found to have breached advertising rules after complaints were upheld by the advertising standards authority. kfc‘s advert was placed near a school, while a coco pops granola advert was shown during a cartoon. rules state that companies cannot promote foods high in fat, salt or sugar to under—16s. kfc says the placement of the poster was ‘human error‘ while kellogg's said they had now reduced sugar in coco pops original cereal by 40%. miles lockwood explained the ruling.

we are telling those companies that they cannot keep those ads. in terms of the kfc ads, they have to take it down which was near at the school gate and there will be a message that goes out to the media placement companies as well to remind them. a petition that could force a by—election in a key seat in northern ireland and remove the current mp ian paisley will open later. the dup politician is already suspended over his failure to declare two family holidays paid for by the sri lankan government. he's apologised, but will face a by—election if 10% of his constituents sign the petition. california's biggest wildfire on record is expected to burn for the rest of the month according to us officials. thousands of people have fled the area and two people are known to have died. president donald trump has declared the situation a "major disaster". australia's most highly populated state, new south wales is in drought after less than 10 milimetres of rainfall in certain

those through the day will be heavy. courtesy of this weather front which is moving from the west to the east. as you can see from the isobars, it is quite easy across the north. first in this morning was a lot of dry weather. a cooler start for many exceptin dry weather. a cooler start for many except in the south—east and we have got our shower is moving towards the west —— from the west towards the east. temperature wise, way down on yesterday, particularly so in the south—east but we are looking at 17 in glasgow, 18 in belfast and around about 20 in cardiff. as we go through this evening into the overnight, many showers will fade. showers coming from the south—east and that will produce showers overnight, and a new front into scotla nd overnight, and a new front into scotland and northern ireland introducing rain. a court might in the north. look at those temperatures. those are in towns and

cities, in rural areas it will be a little bit lower. further south, looking at double figures. it won't be as humid as was last night in the south—east were it has been for a quite a while. into thursday, this band of cloud, things will happen up and heavy rain through the south—eastern corner which might drift further west. at the same time, all of the showers across northern and western scotland and northern ireland and one or two of those will be heavy with the odd thunder. can also see showers peppering the coast of england and wales in between we are looking at a lot of dry weather and some sunny skies. breaches of 19, lot of dry weather and some sunny skies. breaches of19, it lot of dry weather and some sunny skies. breaches of 19, it has been a while since we saw that, to 17 as we push up towards glasgow and edinburgh. to friday, still a lot of dry weather around, still some showers coming in across the west and on the we will see more rain

coming in across the south—west also wales. showers in between and sunshine around. 0ur area of low pressure we have been talking about all week is gathering up speed in the atlantic and it looks like it is going to move across northern half of the country. we were speaking last week to live at the farms and they were talking about their desperation for rain and how long it would take to repair the hot weather they have had. i know you have been talking about this, people praying for rain and that has been the case and it is good news. well, for some, but i canjust about here you, for some it is good news across the northern half of the country but we needed in the south as well and at the beginning of the week we thought we would see a little bit of rain in the south due to that area of low pressure. but it looks like it has taken it further north. northern ireland, northern england and scotland. if you are

screaming for rain in the south, not a lot. we will see rain in the south—east tomorrow but if it is enough, we need quite a bit more and we need slow and steady as well. you a big fan of disney films? yes. i like pixar as well. they are brilliant, absolutely brilliant. they've made some massive films in the last year, but disney's financial performance isn't looking as good. victoria has all at the details. victoria? that's right. the latest avengers move, infinity war, broke nearly every box office record going. great news and a money spinning, happy ending you'd think for the company that made it, walt disney. yes, and no. the walt disney story isn't quite so straightforward. it makes movies, yes, but it also has theme parks and it owns some big american tv networks like abc and the sports channel espn. as if that wasn't enough, it's currently in the process of buying another media giant too, twentieth century fox. they're big rivals.

they're behind x men and the simpsons. it's all very well being the biggest game in town, but is that enough these days in the entertainment world? what do you do about all the online companies offering streaming services? people are switching off subscription tv services. but disney says it has a plan. let's get more with media analyst alex degroote. what is the big idea? the big idea is that disney acquire fox, fox gives them more production capabilities, vaux also possibly brings them sky or at least the 39% shareholding and sky, and that will give them access to lots of european markets and lots of pay tv subscribers. when we talk about the future of where we are watching tv, how we watch tv, more people are watching online and streaming. are they to let —— too late getting into

that game? netflix, amazon prime, so the question is can the view traditional media companies play catch up or is it too late? my feeling is it is probably too late but they do have some content to throw at this problem. the shareholders have approved this deal you are talking about and it is now in the hands of the regulators. 0ur megamergers like this good news for the customers? i think they probably are because i think at the end of the day subscription prices will come down to reflect the fact they need to hand on to the subscribers are need to hand on to the subscribers a re partly need to hand on to the subscribers are partly because screening is cheaper than traditional pay tv and streaming is definitely the way forward not just the streaming is definitely the way forward notjust the these guys, but forward notjust the these guys, but for all broadcasters everywhere. they have until thursday to work out whether or not they will make another play for sky. does it matter who owns sky? what are sky going to do if they are in the hands of disney? you will see more big budget

productions, no uncertainty overhanging onto the premier league football rights for example. no comment doesn't matter to the end user whether or not disney owns sky, but it will be one of them and what they get in exchange for the acquisition of sky it access to millions of subscribers here in the uk and italy and germany. what part of the financial result that didn't look good, espn are losing people. they are switching off. how tough is that battlefield when it comes to sports broadcasting? it is really tough. there are new entrants in the market which makes it difficult but we have seen bt with the key sports rights, we have seen sky lose key sports rights for example tennis and with the amazon prime for the first time ever in bold in light premier league foot wall. the landscape is changing in front of our very eyes and the question is who will be the long—term winners?

—— football. it is really frustrating. if you are a fan of sport, you just want to watch the game. you don't want to go to everyone's house or give them a call asking if they have sky or bt. it is asking if they have sky or bt. it is a night met the customers. it is confusing, and if it followed a certain team, you may find yourself using three different platforms in a month to keep up with what is going on. right now we are in the eye of the storm and i will expect more to go on. blockbuster movies, disney have great form in this. they make amazing things and the avengers was amazing things and the avengers was a fantastic movie that did really well. a lot of films that come out, well. a lot of films that come out, we feel like we have seen them before. it is a tired format a lot of the time. cinemas are really expensive. you think is the longer term is going to stay in the movie business? i think they will stay in the business because it is their

heritage, but there is a move towards box set tv and we are living ina towards box set tv and we are living in a golden age of tv as far as netflix is concerned to think it is right to question the longevity of cinema and frankly, it is not every year you can rely on an avengers to pay your get out ofjail card. good news for the people working there. thank you very much. back to you guys. they say they are only ever seven basic stories. i don't know whether that is quite right. just a general format. crocodile dundee? a bit of romance, baddies, goodies. that is sorted. for many of us, the very idea of swimming across the english channel is daunting enough, but one woman is taking the challenge well and truly in her stride. vicki gilbert lost her leg more than 20 years ago, and has just finished treatment for advanced breast cancer. fiona lamdin caught up with her as she prepares for her adventure.

the freedom that you get is fantastic. it makes me feel that i am the same as everyone and i always say i wish i could swim everywhere rather than walk because women is eve —— swimming is easier than walking. it is sam, and vicki guilderton sorry swum three kilometres in this lake in leeds. but she will soon be swapping his freshwater for the silty sees as she swims across the english channel. it isa swims across the english channel. it is a challenge for the most fit and healthy, and for vicki, an amputee still recovering from breast cancer, this is an unbelievable test. well done! lets get this around you. 26 yea rs done! lets get this around you. 26 years ago while training to be a pe teacher, vicki was diagnosed with bone cancer. she lost her right leg. 0nly bone cancer. she lost her right leg. only to be told a year later it was in this note gnosis. the cancer was

in fact in this note gnosis. the cancer was infacta in this note gnosis. the cancer was in fact a harmless cyst —— misdiagnosis. two years ago, more u nwa nted misdiagnosis. two years ago, more unwanted news. at 43, she was diagnosed with aggressive rest cancer. you are incredibly up heat but surely it is not an easy combination. the mud, water, crutches and one leg.|j combination. the mud, water, crutches and one leg. i struggled to go in on the crutches so i go in on my bottom not very elegantly, but it is worth it could once i get in the water, the freedom is fantastic. breakfasttime! with the day's training behind her, vicki switches from a fleet to mum. -- athlete. it has been held, it has been awful. it is the chemotherapy that does the most damage. but vicki is putting all this behind her. this summer she is part of a relay team that hopes to cross the channel. ijust think it is crazy. cold water, channel swim with boats and ducks and it is not clea n swim with boats and ducks and it is not clean water and ijust

swim with boats and ducks and it is not clean water and i just don't get it. not even in a wetsuit. i could just never do anything like that. she is quite inspiring, even though i would never act it out to her. waves, jellyfish and sea sickness to namejust a waves, jellyfish and sea sickness to name just a few of the side—effects. but vicki hopes the training and the swim will keep the cancer away. people say to me, how come you are not into? i didn't have a choice. i had to get on with it. my leg will not go back. though i have to take the best of it because i have been given this other chants after the breast cancer and the knowledge and understanding that the vehicle activity can have, massively reduced the risk of a re— occurrence. activity can have, massively reduced the risk of a re— occurrencelj activity can have, massively reduced the risk of a re- occurrence. i want to make a difference. this is a woman who despite losing so much will not is stopped. the owner landon, bbc news. what an amazing woman. we wish the best. and weather permitting, vicky will cross the channel later this week. we will no doubt be following that.

we'll let you know how she gets on. i'm slightly concerned. first, there was the film snakes on a plane, and i didn't enjoy it. but this morning, we'll bring you snakes on the sofa, when two join us in the studio. there will be someone with them as well. thankfully. we will get to handle them as well. we have a baby bowler and a coral... a corn snake which will bejoining bowler and a coral... a corn snake which will be joining us bowler and a coral... a corn snake which will bejoining us on bowler and a coral... a corn snake which will be joining us on the so far. no one else has as much... is ita far. no one else has as much... is it a phobia? i far. no one else has as much... is ita phobia? ijust far. no one else has as much... is it a phobia? ijust don't like sharks or snakes. 0k. it a phobia? ijust don't like sharks orsnakes. ok. we it a phobia? ijust don't like sharks or snakes. ok. we thought it would be quite interesting. a

and thousands of cases whereby elderly people have been left stranded. the sole purpose of this wonderful lifeline service is to get the vulnerable out and back home again. so, obviously, why would someone, an organisation, take that safety net away? skateboarders on the south bank will continue a long tradition, which started in the late ‘60s. the area known as the undercroft will be restored following a fundraising effort. the campaign raised more than £700,000. works will begin in early 2019. staffordshire bull terriers and greyhounds are topping a list of most unfashionable dogs and most likely to be abandoned. new research says animal shelters in london are seeing a rise in requests for french bulldogs and pugs. experts believe celebrities and social media sites are driving demand, like doug the pug who has over a million followers. canary wharf now has new water refill stations at canary wharf mean visitors can

now help to reduce the number of single—use plastic bottles. seven new fountains have been installed in the area's malls. they are the first in a uk shopping centre. the fountains are able to track water usage and aim to cut down on the use of 100,000 bottles. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tube this morning. 0n the trains — disruption on southern, thameslink and the gatwick express due to trespassers on the line near east croydon. 0n the roads, this is the blackwall tunnel, southern approach which is slow from the woolwich road flyover. the victoria embankment still closed westbound from southwark bridge to westminster bridge for gas main work. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello. good morning. the most significant change in our weather today is the dip in termperatures. yesterday we saw temperatures in the low 30s. today we're looking at the mid 20s.

so, a fresher and cooler feel to the day today. it does come with some sunny spells, and we start off the day with a little bit of early cloud perhaps in the east. that will clear fairly quickly and then we're looking at a dry day with some good spells of sunshine. we can't rule out the odd isolated shower, but they'll be very few and far between. temperatures feeling fresher than yesterday with a high of 24 degrees and a south—westerly breeze. through this evening then, we'll start to see the cloud increasing after some late spells of sunshine, and then overnight, we could see some patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle into the early hours. temperatures fresher than they were last night — we're looking at an overnight low of around 13 to 15 degrees celsius. tomorrow then, a cloudy day to come with some showery outbreaks of rain. could be some quite heavy bursts as we move into the afternoon. temperatures a touch cooler than today, a maximum of 19 degrees celsius. sunny spells and showers for friday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now, though, it's back to dan and naga. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. it is approaching seven a.m..

0ur headlines today: growing pressure on borisjohnson. a muslim peer says the former foreign secretary should be kicked out of the conservative party for his remarks about the burka. cracking down on junk food companies. the advertising watchdog upholds complaints against kfc and kelloggs for targeting their campaigns at children. california's biggest wildfire on record is expected to burn for the rest of the month. we'll mark 100 years since the battle that helped end the great war at amiens. controversial billionaire businessman elon musk says he has exciting plans for electric carmaker tesla if he makes it a private company. a golden day for great britain. zharnel hughes and dina asher—smith win gold in the 100 metres at the european championships. i am so happy.

i mean, to run a 10.8 in the championships is a really big deal, so i am really, really happy. we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers, filling cooler and fresher than yes —— than yesterday. i will have more in 15 minutes. it's wednesday, the 8th august. our top story — there's growing pressure on the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson as a muslim peer calls for him to be kicked out of the conservative party over comments he made about women who wear a burka. let's get more detail now from our political correspondent, jonathan blake, who is in westminster for us this morning. jonathan, this row has been rumbling on for a few days, but the pressure is building? it isa it is a bit ofa it is a bit of a stand—off because it seems like borisjohnson is in no mood to apologise over his comments which have provoked so much debate and criticism from some people

within the conservative party and it is not necessarily the substance of what he was saying but more the way in which he chose to say it. let us remind you of his comments. responding to a ban on the burqua in denmark. he said a total ban was in the ansar but school should be able to tell students to remove them if they turn up looking like a bank robber. he went further, saying it is absolutely ridiculous that people should go around choosing to look like letterboxes. there was a fair amount of criticism yesterday, brendan lewis responded to that by saying that borisjohnson should apologise, and then later in the day the prime minister theresa may was askedif the prime minister theresa may was asked if she thought what he said was islamophobic and whether he should apologise. i think it was

offensive, the wrong language, he shouldn't have used it on the key issue of women's ability to wear the burqua, if they choose to do so that should be the matter of the woman to choose. an apology wasn't enough, for lord sheikh, he said that he should be kicked out of the party. for lord sheikh, he said that he should be kicked out of the partylj don't think apology is enough. i think we should take more severe action against this man, really. well, take the whip from him, why not? friends of boris johnson have been saying that he will not be apologising for what he said and that it apologising for what he said and thatitis apologising for what he said and that it is ridiculous that his views have been attacked in this way. in potentially trying to provoke a debate, he has risked straining already difficult relations between the conservative party and muslim communities in the uk. police have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a seven—year—old boy in a house fire. joel urhie died at his home in deptford, south—east london, in the early hours of yesterday morning. two women jumped to safety

two fires have merged to create this monster. its sheer size is overwhelming, about the same area as the city of los angeles. fuelled by intensely hot weather, strong winds, low humidity and tinder dry brush, the flames are consuming everything in their path. what can you say? it makes you sick to your stomach. everything they worked for all of their life gone in a heartbeat. the firefighting effort is intense. we are hitting it with the aircraft, cooling it down and that is allowing the ground crews in there to put out the fire. throughout california, more than 14,000 firefighters, some from overseas, and hundreds of us army personnel are battling at least 16 major wildfires. weather forecasters are warning of no letup in the searing temperatures, it could take weeks to bring the current fires under control and the long, hot summer is far from over. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. australia's most highly populated

state, new south wales is in drought after less than 10 milimetres of rainfall in certain areas last month. southern australia has experienced its second—driest autumn on record and over £330 million of emergency relief funds have been provided by the government to support farmers struggling to feed livestock. more than half of the neighbouring state queensland is also covered by drought. officials in indonesia say sunday's earthquake has left more than 80,000 people needing shelter on the island of lombok. rescuers are continuing to search through the rubble to look for survivors. several days after the quake, the second to hit the area in a week aftershocks are still being felt. the number of dead stands at 105. controversial ceo elon musk, the man behind electric carmaker

tesla and space exploration firm spacex, has caused a bit of a stir on twitter again. victoria's got more on this. he said something kind of extraordinary. talking about the most valuable us car company in the world, yet to have made a profit since it started in 2003 and he has decided to take to twitter and said he is thinking about taking the company private. this is an extraordinary thing to do. he has got people who own shares in the company and if you are going to make an announcement like this, you normally do it the usual way. you go through a regular tory announcement toa through a regular tory announcement to a stock exchange, everyone knows what is going on and everybody can trade on that. no surprise that we saw the share price absolutely leap asa saw the share price absolutely leap as a result of this and then it stopped trading. if it is found that he made a statement that is misleading, he could be in a lot of

trouble with the securities exchange commission. would he care? good question. a pretty controversial figure. back on april fool ‘s he joked about tesla going bankrupt and then after that, the way that he burns through cash, it got people wondering whether or not he was right. he had to go on a call and say to people i am sorry, i got it wrong, it was just a joke. say to people i am sorry, i got it wrong, it wasjust a joke. is bit say to people i am sorry, i got it wrong, it was just a joke. is bit of a character. the reason he is doing this is he is saying if other people invest in this company, if i have got private backing i can do what i like. a man like him, i think he wa nts to like. a man like him, i think he wants to do whatever he wants to do. and perhaps not be accountable to shareholders. a project being launched today is attempting to map all of the public defibrillators in england and scotland. the british heart foundation is creating a database of all the sites, so that 999 call handlers know where they are and can direct people to them.

ben ando has more. public defibrillators are in thousands of locations, easy—to—use, and save lives. apply the patch to the chest, as shown in the picture. apply to patient‘s bare skin. they will tell you exactly what to do, so that even without medical training, anybody can make the difference between life and death. there are tens of thousands of them in stations, public buildings, offices, and department stores — so why does the uk have far worse cardiac arrest survival rates than countries scandinavia, or in the united states, where they have similar coverage? if you are out and about and your heart suddenly stops, the british heart foundation says your chances of living barely one in ten. that is partly because a lot of us don't know cpr, but also, while there are plenty of defibrillators around, in an emergency,

how do you find one? their locations are usually held by ambulance crews, but the british heart foundation says that knowledge can be patchy, and even 999 operators do not always know where the nearest is. and that means that potentially life—saving public defibrillators are used in only 3% of cases. so working with nhs england, nhs scotland, and microsoft, it is launching a year—long scheme map locations, create a national database, and make sure they are regularly checked and repaired. it is hoped that this simple measure could improve survival rates and save lives. ben ando, bbc news. archaeologists in mexico have discovered sets of human remains that could be as much as 7,000 years old. three sets of human remains were unearthed in southern mexico and are thought to be from the early ancestors of the mayan civilisation. they were known for building cities in honduras, guatemala and el salvador. the skeletons are on display at the anthropology museum in mexico city. you are up—to—date with the stories.

kellogg's and kfc have been forced to remove adverts that were found to promote junk food to children. rules banning adverts featuring foods high in fat, sugar and salt to under 165 came into force last year. 0ne ad was placed on a phone box outside of a school, another aired on tv during a children's programme. craig jones is from the advertising standards agency, the body that made the ruling. what message is this ruling going to send? it is a strict set of rulings for advertisers to be reminded that they cannot indirectly or directly promote ads for foods which are high in fat, sugar and salt in children's media. whether that is outside schools or on television or online. when were the rules introduced? they

have been in place for quite awhile now on television, since 2007 and last year the rules were extended in nonbroadcast media, including online and the importance of that is that pa rents and the importance of that is that pa re nts ca n and the importance of that is that parents can be confident that the strict restrictions apply on social media, platforms like facebook and youtube, the same protections are there as on television. if these have been in place for quite a while, how are big—name producers of food and these high sugar and salt content foods, how are they not getting the message? was it simply a mistake or are they pushing boundaries? kfc have been very clear that they put a mistake in putting the advert on a phone booths next to a school. they need learn from that now that the ads have been banned. there isn't a systemic problem of

non—compliance, compliance is generally pretty good across—the—board. we generally pretty good across—the—boa rd. we get generally pretty good across—the—board. we get a small number of complaints, about 25 under the rules last year since they were brought into force. but the kelloggs example is a good one because it shows where the line is drawn. the problem wasn't directly promoting the food, it was indirectly promoting it through the coco pops brand, that was to the dialogue in the ad, the packaging. this is a nuanced messaging of the advertisers of indirectly promoting unhealthy food and in that sense there is something for kelloggs to learn, but also other advertisers more widely. two companies will always try to skirt around rules. i am thinking of coco pops granola, that wasn't a high sugar, salt and fat food but the fact it is linked is the

problem. exactly. that shows how these rules are written up in a way thatis these rules are written up in a way that is deliberately strict. it is about the indirect effect of promoting a brand as well as the direct effect of promoting a particular variant of that brand. the granola was the product being advertised, but the prominence of the coco pops brand in terms of the use of the monkey, the dialogue and the edging font, all of these contributed to the judgement that it was indirectly promoting the original range. these advertisers are strict because parents want peace of mind that the unhealthy foods are not being promoted to children. that is important because we have rising obesity in this country and even though advertising is on top of the list, there is a direct modest effect. you have taken action on this, who reported the breaches? a couple of complainants in terms of some of the ads. there we re

in terms of some of the ads. there were four thomas two were not upheld. who complained? it was a mix of the campaigning organisation and a couple of individual complainants as well. the reason i ask this is that the advertising standards authority, you come on and say we are doing everything we can to stop this happening, but you don't control it. you seem to react to the complaint. it is almost like they wait for someone to find companies that are doing wrong that are not abiding by the rules. it is not you thatis abiding by the rules. it is not you that is patrolling the system and making sure it works. no, i don't think that is right because there are regular compliance suite in this area and other areas that are advertised and would put most of the resourcing into those areas because those are the ones parents want to be confident that we are proactively scanning the market. complaints are important as well. it only takes one complaint to see an advertised in the end, we rely on parents and container groups to come forward but we are proactive in monitoring. are

you expecting company is also to be more in charge of the billboard, the company that put up the adverts as well? are you putting the responsibility of kelloggs to talk to the companies are put up its posters ? to the companies are put up its posters? they play an important part as well. media owners are a part of it, whether they are broadcasters on television or whether they are the platforms online or as you have said, the people who put up the billboards. they are all part of the system and they need to take responsibility for the fact that the advertisers for sensitive products like gambling and unhealthy food it to be strict decontrol do. they cannot be targeted. that is the effect of two—day's ruling. cannot be targeted. that is the effect of two-day's ruling. thank you very much for talking to us. good morning if you havejust turned on your tv. it is trying to find out what is happening with the weather. good morning. i have a picture of

portrush this morning. what a beautiful picture. you can seem some sunshine. yesterday a top temperature was 33.2 celsius in kent. we are saying goodbye to those temperatures in the 30s and some of us look at nine or 10 degrees of a drop from yesterday. generally across—the—board it drop from yesterday. generally across—the—boa rd it is drop from yesterday. generally across—the—board it is going to be cooler and fresher. we have a weather front coming in from the west and drifting eastward and it has showers accompanying it on its journey. you and it has showers accompanying it on itsjourney. you can see the isobars together so here it will be breezy. many of us are starting off onafine breezy. many of us are starting off on a fine and dry note with sunshine. we has showers in the west and in the afternoon we could see some heavy showers in scotland and northern ireland. in between all the showers there will be sunny spells. temperatures in the north, about 20.

in the south, up to 25. a huge change especially in the south—east compared to what we have been used to. through this evening and overnight, showers will fade, a sunny evening, and then a bit more cloud will build across the south—east. that will produce some showers and also a new system coming in that will produce choudhary outbreaks of rain. —— showery. singles visitors —— figures in some areas in north—east scotland and parts of northern ireland in particular. further south, so muggy in the south—east, it will not be so bad tonight thank goodness. tomorrow we start off with a cloud and a few showers and then heavy rain. you can hear the odd rumble of thunder from this. a weather front in the north west continues to produce chums showers. again, the odd rumble of

thunder will come about. temperatures in the north around 18 or 19. temperatures in the north around 18 or19. in temperatures in the north around 18 or 19. in the south, looking at 20. 0n or 19. in the south, looking at 20. on friday, still a lot of dry weather around, still some showers especially in parts of the west and later in the day we see more rain coming in across the south—west. low pressure is going to start to dominate our weather rather than hide pressure and this has been giving us a real headache. at the bidding of the week we had substantial rain across the uk to places we haven't seen quite a lot of rainfora places we haven't seen quite a lot of rain for a long time now it is like the track will take the rain further north across northern ireland, northern england, north wales and into scotland and it will be breezy around this band as well. thank you, carol. we will see you in around 25 minutes. commemorations will take place in france today to mark the centenary of the battle of amiens, the beginning of the end of world war i.

0ur correspondent robert hall is in amiens for us this morning. good morning. good morning. i good morning. iwas good morning. iwasjust good morning. iwasjust listening good morning. i wasjust listening i wasjust listen to good morning. iwasjust listening to the weather. we had the most amazing thunderstorm last night. 100 yea rs amazing thunderstorm last night. 100 years ago it was the same because there was a huge artillery lombard met on the other side. the battle then began. the commemorations are not just, narration. then began. the commemorations are notjust, narration. they are also about telling the story of the battle of amiens. it is not a better—known battle but it was very important because it really took a world of war weary europe just one step down a road which would in quite a short period of time lead to an armistice and then to peace. the tallest cathedral in france, a landmark for 800 years and familiar to the soldiers who had

been brought here from all over the western front for a surprise attack like no other in four years of war. by august 7, the plan was ready. this tower was built to commemorate australian troops, some of whom fought north of amiens. if you'd stood here on august 8, 1918, you would have seen the smoke and flames as allied artillery destroyed german guns, and you would've heard the rumble of engines as 500 tanks and over 50,000 troops began to move forward through the early morning fog towards enemy positions. by lunchtime on the first day, the allies had advanced eight miles into enemy territory. men and machines working together. and yet, after the disastrous losses of previous battles, few men realised that the tide was turning. they expected that it was going to go on. peter barton has been examining german interviews with allied

soldiers captured during the battle. there are thousands of prisoners and they all agree, or 90% of them agree, that it will be the following year, yet again, the following year before the germans are beaten. they don't see, even at the beginning of 0ctober1918, when the armistice is within touching distance, they don't realise that's going to happen. commanders on both sides knew differently. the flood of exhausted, demoralised german prisoners spoke volumes. six allied countries under a single commander had changed the course of the war. the significance of amiens was at the heart of rehearsals for today's commemoration. its in the journey to a negotiated peace and the importance of carrying that message to new generations. they shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. 13—year—old sydney isjoining her father in the cathedral.

i think it's important so we understand what sacrifices were made. because i think there's a saying that for our today, they gave their tomorrow. that's an important saying because it's very truthful. and stories from those who were there will reinforce that message. we travelled at night and stayed in the woods in the daytime. it was supposed to be a surprise. the canadians captured 27,000 prisoners and the whole thing of 45,000 prisoners, besides all the ones that were killed, there were a lot killed besides that. the german high command called it a black day for the german army. we called it the beginning of the last 100 days. robert hall, bbc news. yes, the beginning of the last 100 days and that is what today is all about, remembering that crucial period in our history back in 1918.

i will hearfrom period in our history back in 1918. i will hear from the cultural secretary who has this own family connection to the battle of amiens, and watch events across the bbc during the day. but for now, back to you. we will see you, clinton will in the programme later. —— plenty more late in the programme. looking at the papers now. treason may and boris johnson looking at the papers now. treason may and borisjohnson regarding a burger. —— theresa may. this picture isa burger. —— theresa may. this picture is a blade who died after a fire swept through this home. police are investigating. borisjohnson has refused to back down on this comments made in the paper. this

picture is of ashton smith and her success at the championships. this picture ofjob on the front page of the telegraph and this picture of him is really heartbreaking. the seven—year—old boy who dressed as a firefighter. he wanted to be a firefighter. he wanted to be a firefighter apparently. in the headline, he never got the chance. and the times reports that a quarter of staff working on the rail project we re of staff working on the rail project were paid more than £100,000 in salary and perks last year. they are committed to controlling gusts and the programme remained within budget. and one of the most read stories on the website this morning is that new south wales in australia is that new south wales in australia is now entirely in drought. the region next to it as well, also half of that is in doubt. whether stories are coming in thick and fast. if i told you that sandy regularly gets

mistaken for, cruise, what would you think? you would think, what are you talking about? apparently it happens quite a lot, she says. 0nce talking about? apparently it happens quite a lot, she says. once you have seen quite a lot, she says. once you have seen the pictures, you might understand why. you are not being mean about it. no, she generally gets mistaken for, cruise. have a look. here, it is the smile. go through the various poses. they are basically the same person. yes! q i needin basically the same person. yes! q i need in my! i love how she is. she says, it must be my flowing locks. she says, it is very flattering for me but probably not but,. 0nce she says, it is very flattering for me but probably not but,. once you start looking at the pictures you cannot see them. you will never am see that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news.

i'm alpa patel. a transport service, which is supposed to help thousands of elderly and disabled londoners get around, is being accused of providing a poor service. bbc london has learned dozens of complaints have been made against 00v) dial—a—ride, which include not being able to get through on the phone or only being able to book a one way trip. the problem is being blamed on a new computer system. but transport for london, deny this. people affected say they feel let down. there's been many thousands and thousands of cases whereby elderly people have been left stranded. the sole purpose of this wonderful lifeline service is to get the vulnerable out and back home again. so, obviously, why would someone, an organisation, take that safety net away? skateboarders on the south bank will continue a long tradition which started in the late ‘60s. the area known as the undercroft will be restored following a fundraising effort. the campaign raised more than £700,000. works will begin in early 2019. canary wharf now has

new water refill stations. it means visitors can now help to reduce the number of single—use plastic bottles. seven new fountains are being installed in the area's malls, which are able to track water usage. they are the first of their kind at a shopping centre in the country. they aim to cut down on the use of 100,000 bottles. staffordshire bull terriers and greyhounds are topping a list of most unfashionable dogs and most likely to be abandoned. new research says animal shelters in london are seeing a rise in requests for french bulldogs and pugs. experts believe celebrities and social media sites are driving demand, like doug the pug, who has over a million followers. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tube this morning. 0n the trains — disruption on southern, thameslink and the gatwick express due to trespassers on the line. 0n the roads, busy on the a13, which is slow

westbound from dagenham into barking. the victoria embankment still closed westbound from southwark bridge to westminster bridge for gas main work. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello. good morning. the most significant change in our weather today is the dip in temperatures. yesterday we saw temperatures in the low 30s. today we're looking at the mid 20s. so, a fresher and cooler feel to the day today. it does come with some sunny spells, and we start off the day with a little bit of early cloud perhaps in the east. that will clear fairly quickly and then we're looking at a dry day with some good spells of sunshine. we can't rule out the odd isolated shower, but they'll be very few and far between. temperatures feeling fresher than yesterday with a high of 24 degrees and a south—westerly breeze. through this evening then, we'll start to see the cloud increasing after some late spells of sunshine, and then overnight, we could see some patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle into the early hours. temperatures fresher than they were last night — we're looking at an overnight low of around 13 to 15 degrees celsius. tomorrow then, a cloudier day to come with some showery outbreaks of rain. could be some quite heavy bursts

as we move into the afternoon. temperatures a touch cooler than today, a maximum of 19 degrees celsius. sunny spells and showers for friday. if you are heading out, have a lovely day. if not, i am back 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. there's growing pressure on the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson over comments he made about women who wear burkas. mrjohnson wrote that muslim women who wore the full face veil looked like "letterboxes" or "bank robbers". theresa may has called for him to apologise, but a senior muslim peer says that doesn't go far enough. police have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a seven—year—old boy in a house fire. joel urhie died at his home in deptford, south—east london, in the early hours of yesterday morning. two women jumped to safety from the first floor of the house. 0fficers believe it was arson but joel was unlikely to be the target.

kellogg's and kfc have been found to have breached advertising rules after complaints were upheld by the advertising standards authority. kfc‘s advert was placed near a school, while a coco pops granola advert was shown during a cartoon. rules state that companies cannot promote foods high in fat, salt or sugar to under—16s. kfc says the placement of the poster was ‘human error‘ while kellogg‘s said they had now reduced sugar in coco pops original cereal by 40%. a petition that could force a by—election in a key seat in northern ireland and remove the current mp ian paisley will open later. the dup politician is already suspended over his failure to declare two family holidays paid for by the sri lankan government. he‘s apologised, but will face a by—election if 10% of his constituents sign the petition. a 31 year old man has been

charged with the murder of the rapper sidique kamara who was stabbed to death in south london, last week. mr kamara, also know as incognito, was part of the controversial "drill" music scene which is thought to glamorise violence. kenneth umezie is due to appear at bromley magistrates court later today. a year—long survey is beginning today, with the aim of improving the survival chances of people suffering heart attacks in england and scotland. the british heart foundation is creating a database of the location of every public defibrillator, so when people collapse they can be offered potentially lifesaving assistance quickly. it is hoped tens of thousands of lives could be saved each year. archaeologists in mexico have discovered sets of human remains that could be as much as 7,000 years old. three sets of human remains were unearthed in southern mexico and are thought to be from the early ancestors of the mayan civilisation. they were known for building cities in honduras, guatemala and el salvador.

the skeletons are on display at the anthropology museum in mexico city. coming up on the programme, carol has the weather, but first sally is here with the sport. so much success in the sporting world. and hopefully in a couple of, nearly got it right! magic background. you have got it. will be talking to colleenjackson all about how things have been going so well. what a night for british athletics, with a sprint double at the european championships in berlin. dina asher—smith won the women‘s 100 metre gold and zharnel hughes led a british one—two in the men‘s event. asher—smith won with the joint fastest time in the world in 2018 and a new british record. she has come a long way since being a kit carrier on super saturday during the 2012 london olympics at the age of 16. i am so happy.

i mean, to run a 10.8 in the championships is a really big deal, so i am really, really happy. i wanted to come here and run that, after running a few low 10.9‘s i knew i had it. when it comes, anything can happen as you have seen with the upsets this morning. yeah, i am so happy right now! zharnel hughes and reece prescod made it a british one—two in the men‘s 100 metres. hughes won with a championship best time as he bounced back from his disappointment at the commonwealth games where he was disqualified in the 200 metres. so a great night for britain in the 100 metres and it‘s prompted plenty of reaction on social media. damejess ennis hill said: christine 0huruogo said:

and we‘re not leaving zharnel hughes out because this is what the great usain bolt had to say: to the pool and there has been more success for britain‘s swimmers making it a total of 16 medals so far. the women‘s 4x200 metre freestyle leading the way by taking gold, 17 year old freya anderson completing the victory to take her 2nd relay gold of the championships. duncan scott is three year older at 21, he secured his third medal by winning the 200m freestyle gold. meanwhile, adam peaty broke his european 50m breaststroke record again. he already did it in the heats and this time storming ahead in his semi—final, he goes in the final this afternoon. over in edinburgh, the british divers kept the medals coming at the commonwealth pool. olympic champion jack laugher is aiming to win a hat trick of goals, won the 1 metre

springboard title with his teammate james heatly taking bronze. we‘ve got some fantastic results and fantastic depth here in british diving. it‘s notjust one or two people that are consistently achieving, a huge range of people all the way from the very top to junior levels. british diving is going from strength to strength, really excited to see what it looks like in the future and even when i am retired, i would love to see how far british diving can go. lois touslon and eden cheng also won gold for britain in the 10 metre sychronised diving. it was only their second competition together, and eden cheng‘s senion debut and she is only 15 years old. this could just be the beginning for them. isn‘t that beautiful? great guy is a. —— great dive. and the entertainment and medals on the cycling track just keep coming. tactically perfect, powerful, matthew walls dominated the men‘s elimination race on his way to a gold medal with this stunning display. what a night for british athletics,

with a sprint double at the european championships in berlin. dina asher—smith won the women‘s 100 metre gold and zharnel hughes led a british one—two in the men‘s event. colin jackson was watching and joins us now from berlin. thank you for your early start. some top a brilliant night in british athletics for us. so exciting to see. i was so athletics for us. so exciting to see. i was so nervous athletics for us. so exciting to see. i was so nervous earlier on. i was waiting for dina asher—smith, because she only ran one 100th of a second outside the qualifying. for me, iwas second outside the qualifying. for me, i was excited with anticipation about what she could do and when the gun went she truly dominated the race. it was a phenomenal performance. it set her up wonderfully for the world championships next year and towards the olympic games in tokyo. rhys prescott said earlier issue that

british sprinting is as good as any in the world right now, that is a fairer assessment, don‘t you think? that is a clear and accurate summary. that is a clear and accurate summary. we know the quality of sprinting across the world and cj ended up fourth yesterday. so you could say yes, what he said was spot on. you have been involved in coaching, what is it about this generation of athletic stars that makes them different?” generation of athletic stars that makes them different? i think there isa makes them different? i think there is a genuine hunger there. adding to that, there is a sense of responsibility. they all want to perform well for each other and they know there are are a lot of things hanging on it. they bounce off each other. for me, that is what makes it really unique as a whole team. it is similarto really unique as a whole team. it is similar to the england football team in that sense. no real sense of anybody feeling like a superstar,

they were all in it together and thatis they were all in it together and that is really quite clear. it is absolutely that is really quite clear. it is a bsolutely lovely to that is really quite clear. it is absolutely lovely to talk to you this morning from what looks like relatively sunshine berlin. that is colin jackson live from berlin. great to see him. so good chatting about the athletics, such enthusiasm. we have been talking about serena williams lately. the tennis star serena williams has opened up about having "mum guilt" after returning to the tennis court. motherhood has maybe battled with feelings of guilt. it is really refreshing to see somebody like her. when you are a new mum and you have a new baby and it is tough, you are almost conditioned to tell people not about how tough it is. but it serena williams shafaq is finding it tough, then it makes it a case. the

fa ct tough, then it makes it a case. the fact that she is so honest is amazing. in an instagram post she said she‘d been in "a funk" after having a difficult week and feeling like a bad parent, days after pulling out of a tournament. she‘s not the only celebrity to share their struggles. last month the singer cardi b pulled out of a tour with bruno mars just six weeks after giving birth to her daughter, saying she had underestimated being a mum. 0lympic cyclist, laura kenny shared how bittersweet going back to work can be, just this week she won gold in the european championships but described leaving her son behind as horrible. so, is "mum guilt" normal while trying to balance parenthood and returning to work? let‘s discuss this with doctor aisha awan and blogger vicki psarias. you have talked a lot about this. how refreshing. it is encouraging

because it almost does seem, lot of friends said it was such a shock, everybody told me it was brilliant and no one said it can be horrible. it can be really difficult and before i had a baby i was sold by the movies and the traditional media that it would really easy, i was a tv direct, only 4% of women and i thought, i was naive. tv direct, only 4% of women and i thought, iwas naive. i underestimated that and it meant i was silenced. i didn‘t reach out for help or see a gp because i thought i was failing. i welcome this discourse, this honesty that we have been waiting for. high—profile women are saying that they are struggling, they are speaking on behalf of millions of women. what sort of impact? the impact of people who might be watching this morning and

think that exact same way. hopefully that has a positive impact. absolutely. i have a seven—month old at home who was vomiting, i haven't had a wink of sleep. when i read that post i thought this is what motherhood is. it is about learning to say no. as professional women it is difficult to take a step and say what are my priorities? no one should dictate to a woman when is the right time to go back to work. there is always backlash and people are like why he/she working, she is are like why he/she working, she is a millionaire. it is not about that, she can do whatever she wants to do and she is a woman, she is brilliant and she is a woman, she is brilliant and she is continuing to do something that she is passionate about. i wonder, something that she is passionate about. iwonder, if something that she is passionate about. i wonder, if women are prepared psychologically for the impact of this. she was told the stuff that happens physically but what about the education about the

guilt, the mental and emotional struggles they will have, leaving a child, wanting to still be the person you are. society has changed almost unrecognisable ea and motherhood has changed. we had a village looking after children 50 yea rs village looking after children 50 years ago. you are not a mother living by yourself in a flat where you didn't know neighbours, you had grandparents around, friends around who would look after the child. now we are expected to be mother, housekeeper, worker, expected to be employed and put up with this pretence on social media about having perfect lies. the inequalities of the workplace make it difficult. i am thankful in the digital spear that i can have a job to work around my family were in the work force failed for me. can we make it clear that it is not failing just for women? the judgement on

this, does it come from other women or the whole spectrum ? this, does it come from other women or the whole spectrum? a lot of it is from ourselves we are made to that it is from ourselves we are made to thatitis is from ourselves we are made to that it is a naturaljob. if you have depression and you don‘t have a birth that you hoped for, it is a bit mis sold to you. it is amazing as well. it is tough and the sleep deprivation is hard and your hormones are likely to be all over the shop and as long as we keep talking and supporting and going to the doctor and knowing that you are not alone, that social media works the good in this instance. lot of comparison on there. for me, i found my tribe online the. i found other like—minded women who i could connect with and it doesn‘t always happen in real life. thank goodness for serena williams and other people saying it how it is. that is really important. i would say to women out there who are struggling, have your friends around you, talk openly. post—natal depression is something

that we know about but there is something, what serena williams is talking about is a real. it is not a medical diagnosis but it is something you need support. speak to people, get out and get help and if you need more than go your health visitor, your midwife or your gp. thank you for coming in and talking about it. to read in may and prince william are going to mark the centenary of the battle of amiens. we can speak to the culture secretary who will be at the ceremony later. he willjoin us from amiens. talking about how important it was and how significant it was in that battle. it was a turning point, the turning point for the end of the war. we have been hearing really emotive accounts of people who fought there and were in that battle. we will show you that

later. we have a special programme on bbc later today. they speak to jeremy. we were mentioning about the significance —— you can probably heari significance —— you can probably hear i am at the cathedral. i can hear i am at the cathedral. i can hear the bells in the background. tell us about your own personal experience about being there now and understanding the impact it had on the great wall. there are a number of events happening connected to the main commemoration this afternoon in the cathedral behind me. we were at a youth event last night where cloud —— young people who fought together in this campaign beginning with the battle of amiens came together in order to research, together with the research others had done and create an exhibition of their learning and understanding of what had happened. i think the involvement of young people in the commemorations that people in the commemorations that people see this afternoon is hugely important as well as the bringing together of all those different

nation that fought together exactly 100 years ago. i remember my history teacher at school was always talking about the significance of world war iand about the significance of world war i and world war two. it was always saying you can only understand where you are now from seeing... i don‘t use the word great in the right way, those great events in the past like the world wars and how that has led on, let us onto a journey of the people now. that is absolutely right. most people watching this programme that we have not heard of the battle of amiens. they will have heard of the other battles which we have commemorated over the last yea rs of have commemorated over the last years of their 100th anniversaries have come around. but the battle of amiens was important because it was a turning point in this great conflict, a point at which the grinding hopelessness of the last 3.5 years of this conflict started to change and so to give you just one statistic, the allied forces

made seven miles worth of progress to words the germans on the first day, exactly 100 years ago today. that is more than all 141 days of the battle of the songs. this was a real change in the hill of this conflict then moved us now to wards the end of it, which all sides dearly hope for so long, which we will commemorate rockley and in a very special way in november of this year. it is great to remember the history. i would like to bring things up today. we hear the bells in the background. i wonder if they are tolling for aurisjohnson who is on the front page of the paper this morning. what you make of the comments he made and the reaction from the prime minister?” comments he made and the reaction from the prime minister? i think that this is a subject that boris and everyone else a pirate —— perfectly entitled to discuss. the place of the bourke in our society, what it means for the women who wear it, it is a subject we should not be afraid of talking about. if you are

going to discuss it, i think particularly if you are in the public eye, you are in the public eye and i think it is your responsibility to choose your words with care and try to make sure that you don‘t offend where it is necessary not to do so. they think thatis necessary not to do so. they think that is why the prime minister and others have suggested that he should consider a apologising. not because it is wrong to talk about the subject, but the way in which we talk about it and the language we use is important as well. you think the language he used was is phobic? no, ithink the language he used was is phobic? no, i think it was illjudged and i think he should consider what he should lay about that —— islamophobic. he is perfectly entitled to discuss the subject. but we had to choose our words with care. it is not the same, me talking to you on camera here is not the famous talking to my friend that the pub and it is important in the eye, yes, discuss the subject but choose

words with care so that we make sure our society can have these discussions about causing unnecessary fracture. that is not impossible in my view. it required a bit of extra effort at it should be done. is there a difference, being asked a question and anchoring the question is different to what auris johnson did when he wrote an article to be deliberately provocative and one of the accusations aimed at him is saying you have been in the public after a while, and why would he do it like this? i will not speculate about what motivated forest to bright as he did, but i think discussing this subject is perfectly reasonable. it is a perfectly reasonable. it is a perfectly rational thing a politician to do, and people across country, whether they are politicians or not, will discuss this subject. that‘s fine. if you are in the public eye, entering questions or not, you should he prepared to think carefully about the language that you use. if it

we re the language that you use. if it were impossible to have this conversation about —— without offending people, that is one thing. that not possible. that is why thinking has been asked to consider what he said. but i do think we should take from this that no one is allowed to discuss the subject. i think we should discuss the subject but be careful about the language we use when we do so. that doesn‘t apply tojust use when we do so. that doesn‘t apply to just this subject. it applies to a whole range of things that should be discussed. everyone agrees that freedom of speech is very important to the culture that we live in. and one of the freedoms that the people we talk about today actually fought for. one more question on this. you think an apology is enough, bearing in mind what you just said. it sounds like if he said i‘m sorry for the language that are used in the way i used those words, that would be enough? it is up to boris to decide what it does next. of course it is. the advice i would give to him and

anybody else discussing this subject is discuss it at their shouldn‘t be subject off limits in that sense, but we do all getting very carefully about our obligation to use language thatis about our obligation to use language that is not offensive where it is a need to be, and i think that obligation is greater if you are a figure of the public eye. thank you for talking to us. that is the culture secretary. there is a special commemoration programme taking place on bbc one later at 1:45 p.m.. it is cold a rota armistice. it is live from the cathedral we were speaking to him right outside. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. it is always worth waiting carol. good morning to you. a nice picture this morning and the forecast is one of sunshine but also some showers. it will feel cooler and fresher than it did yesterday, particularly in the south—east. in kent it hit 33.2

know there are more dangerous snakes out there, but i don‘t think it is wrong to have a fear of something that could bite you in the face. a cat can bite you in the face. cats are quite nice, they are friendly. they stroke your leg when they want food. you get an angry... are you saying that cats... i‘m saying that perhaps i think yourfear of that cats... i‘m saying that perhaps i think your fear of snakes may be diminished after this programme today. i very much doubt it. we are having snakes on the sofa. forget snakes on the plane. we will talk about vicky gilbert swimming across the english channel. she is recovering from breast cancer. this is a classic mind over matter moment for wednesday morning. hgppy matter moment for wednesday morning. happy wednesday. this snakes are

messing with my brain. snakes in my brain. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i‘m alpa patel. a transport service, which is supposed to help thousands of elderly and disabled londoners get around, is being accused of providing a poor service. bbc london has learned dozens of complaints have been made against dial—a—ride, which include not being able to get through on the phone or only being able to book a one way trip. the problem is being blamed on a new computer system. but transport for london deny this. people affected say they feel let down. there‘s been many thousands and thousands of cases whereby elderly people have been left stranded. the sole purpose of this wonderful lifeline service is to get the vulnerable out and back home again. so, obviously, why would someone, an organisation, take that safety net away?

skateboarders on the south bank will continue a long tradition which started in the late ‘60s. the area known as the undercroft will be restored following a fundraising effort. the campaign raised more than £700,000. works will begin in early 2019. canary wharf now has new water refill stations. it means visitors can now help to reduce the number of single—use plastic bottles. seven new fountains are being installed in the area‘s malls, which are able to track water usage. they are the first of their kind at a shopping centre in the country. they aim to cut down on the use of 100,000 bottles. staffordshire bull terriers and greyhounds are topping a list of most unfashionable dogs and most likely to be abandoned. new research says animal shelters in london are seeing a rise in requests for french bulldogs and pugs. experts believe celebrities and social media sites are driving demand, like doug the pug, who has over a million followers. let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. there‘s a good service on the tube this morning. 0n the trains — disruption

on southern, thameslink and the gatwick express due to trespassers on the line. 0n the roads, busy on the a13, which is slow westbound from dagenham into barking. the victoria embankment still closed westbound from southwark bridge to westminster bridge for gas main work. let‘s have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello. good morning. the most significant change in our weather today is the dip in temperatures. yesterday we saw temperatures in the low 30s. today we‘re looking at the mid 20s. so, a fresher and cooler feel to the day today. it does come with some sunny spells, and we start off the day with a little bit of early cloud perhaps in the east. that will clear fairly quickly and then we‘re looking at a dry day with some good spells of sunshine. we can‘t rule out the odd isolated shower, but they‘ll be very few and far between. temperatures feeling fresher than yesterday with a high of 24 degrees and a south—westerly breeze. through this evening then, we‘ll start to see the cloud increasing after some late spells of sunshine, and then overnight, we could see some patchy outbreaks of rain

and drizzle into the early hours. temperatures fresher than they were last night — we‘re looking at an overnight low of around 13 to 15 degrees celsius. tomorrow then, a cloudier day to come with some showery outbreaks of rain. could be some quite heavy bursts as we move into the afternoon. temperatures a touch cooler than today, a maximum of 19 degrees celsius. sunny spells and showers for friday. still a lovely day ahead. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: growing pressure on borisjohnson — a muslim peer says the former foreign secretary should be kicked out of the conservative party for his remarks about the burka. cracking down on junk food companies — the advertising watchdog upholds complaints against kfc and kelloggs for targeting their campaigns at children. california 5 biggest wildfire on record is expected

there‘s growing pressure on the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, as a muslim peer calls for him to be kicked out of the conservative party. that‘s over comments he made about women who wear a burka in his newspaper column. we can talk tojonathan blake in westminster. it is interesting what conservative party members are saying about borisjohnson‘s membership? yes, he has faced more criticism for those comments about those burqa —— the burqa. it is worth remembering what he said. he was actually arguing against an introduction of a ban on the burqa in public. that has recently been brought in in denmark. he said schools should be able to tell pupils to remove them if they turn up pupils to remove them if they turn up looking like a bank robber. he said it was absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking likely —— like letter

boxes. the culture secretaryjeremy wright said that mrjohnson should have chosen his words more carefully. people across the country, whether they are politicians or not, we'll discuss this subject. that's fine. but if you are in the public eye, whether answering questions as macro not, you should think carefully about the language that you use. i don't think it's impossible to have this conversation without insulting people. we can have a sensible conversation without using some of the language that boris used. yesterday, conservative party chairman brandon lewis said boris johnson should apologise. the prime minister said she agreed with him. an apology would not be enough for some. the conservative peer, lord sheikh,, said boris johnson some. the conservative peer, lord sheikh,, said borisjohnson should be thrown out of the party for what he said. i don't think an apology is enough. you should take more severe action

against this man. white kind of action? take the whip from him. why not? a source close to boris johnson has told the bbc will not be apologising and it was ridiculous for his views to be attacked in this way. they say he was aiming provoke an —— and honest and legitimate debate about wearing the burqa. this has shown that borisjohnson may be away on holiday somewhere. but being out of government and out of sight doesn‘t mean he is out of the public eye. he has demonstrated his capacity to prompt division and debate within his own party and further afield. jonathan, thank you. jonathan blake. police have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a seven—year—old boy in a house fire. joel urhie died at his home in deptford, south—east london, in the early hours of yesterday morning. two women jumped to safety from the first floor of the house. 0fficers believe it was arson, but joel was unlikely to be the target. food giants calyx and kfc have been

forced to remove advertisements after one was... it was found they we re after one was... it was found they were promoting foods high in fat, salt and sugar to children. new rules on advertising junk food to under 16 ‘s came into effect last year. these complaints involve some of the biggest names in the food industry. the watchdog upheld two complaints. this kellogg‘s cereal advert shown during a cartoon, and this kfc ad on a phone booth close to a primary school. the other talented —— the advertising standards authority found the had the rules. are two rulings there against kfc and kellogg‘s. we are telling those companies that can‘t keep those ads. in terms of kfc, they have to take

down the poster. there will be a message to the media placement companies as well reminding them they have to take care when they are placing the sort of ads. the asa dismissed two complaints against mcdonald‘s. in a statement, kfc apologise, saying their advert outside the school was a total mystery. kellogg‘s says it can now advertise on children‘s tv because it has reduced the sugar by 40% in coco pops original. children know about it anyway. they don't need adverts. i don't think there should be a ban, no. ithink us as parents have the right to decide what we give our children or much in mind they are taking. health campaigners say one in three children is now overweight. the banning of junk food ads children is now overweight. the banning ofjunk food ads is a start but more needs to be done. a petition that could force a by—election in a key seat

in northern ireland and remove the current mp, ian paisley, will open later. the dup politician is already suspended over his failure to declare two family holidays paid for by the sri lankan government. he‘s apologised, but will face a by—election if 10% of his constituents sign the petition. california 5 biggest wildfire on record is expected to burn for the rest of the month, according to us officials. eight blazes covering an area almost as big as los angeles are now burning out of control. president donald trump has declared the situation a major disaster. peter bowes reports. california‘s new normal. raging wildfires eclipsing previous records in their size and ferocity. about 150 miles north of san francisco, two fires have merged to create this monster. its sheer size is overwhelming, about the same area as the city of los angeles. fuelled by intensely hot weather, strong winds, low humidity

and tinder dry brush, the flames are consuming everything in their path. what can you say? it makes you sick to your stomach. everything they worked for all of their life gone in a heartbeat. the firefighting effort is intense. we are hitting it with the aircraft, cooling it down and that is allowing the ground crews in there to put out the fire. throughout california, more than 14,000 firefighters, some from overseas, and hundreds of us army personnel are battling at least 16 major wildfires. weather forecasters are warning of no letup in the searing temperatures, it could take weeks to bring the current fires under control and the long, hot summer is far from over. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. elsewhere, the weather in australia has caused damage in australia‘s most highly populated state.

new south wales is in drought after less than 10 milimetres of rainfall in some areas last month. more than £330 million of emergency relief funds have been provided by the government to support farmers struggling to feed livestock. more than half of the neighbouring state, queensland is also covered by drought. officials in indonesia say sunday‘s earthquake has left more than 80,000 people needing shelter on the island of lombok. rescuers are continuing to search through the rubble to look for survivors. several days after the quake, the second to hit the area in a week aftershocks are still being felt. the number of dead stands at 105. archaeologists in mexico have discovered sets of human remains that could be as much as 7,000 years old. three sets of human remains were unearthed in southern mexico, and are thought to be from the early ancestors of the mayan civilisation. they were known for building cities in honduras, guatemala and el salvador. the skeletons are on display at the anthropology museum in mexico city.

i would go. i wouldn‘t go all the way to mexico city to see them but ifi way to mexico city to see them but if i was there i would pop along. why not? there is a project being launched today that could save lives. it wants to map all of the public defibrillators in england and scotland, this is what the british heart foundation wants to do. yeah, creating a database of all those sites so 999 anglers can direct them to those sites. public defibrillators are in thousands of locations, easy—to—use, and save lives. apply the patch to the chest, as shown in the picture. apply to patient‘s bare skin. they will tell you exactly what to do, so that even without medical training, anybody can make the difference between life and death. there are tens of thousands of them in stations, public buildings, offices, and department stores — so why does the uk have far worse cardiac arrest survival rates than countries scandinavia, or in the united states,

where they have similar coverage? if you are out and about and your heart suddenly stops, the british heart foundation says your chances of living barely one in ten. that is partly because a lot of us don‘t know cpr, but also, while there are plenty of defibrillators around, in an emergency, how do you find one? their locations are usually held by ambulance crews, but the british heart foundation says that knowledge can be patchy, and even 999 operators do not always know where the nearest is. and that means that potentially life—saving public defibrillators are used in only 3% of cases. so working with nhs england, nhs scotland, and microsoft, it is launching a year—long scheme map locations, create a national database, and make sure they are regularly checked and repaired. it is hoped that this simple measure could improve survival rates and save lives. ben ando, bbc news. simon gillespie is from the british

heart foundation. good morning. we are joined heart foundation. good morning. we arejoined also by heart foundation. good morning. we are joined also by father and son stewart a nd are joined also by father and son stewart and ethan. good morning. the value of these devices is incredible. tell us your story? it is remarkable you are even sitting here this morning. i work at the school where even is a pupil. i am the premises manager. my boss had filled in a form and applied to have one of the community defibrillators. we were successful. it was delivered. i set it up. put the battery in, put it under the stairs ready for thejob to battery in, put it under the stairs ready for the job to get to the top of my list. two days later, even collapsed on the field. his friends

came running up the stairs and got me out of a meeting, ran down the stairs, across the playground, across the field and... ethan, pick this up. you were out in the field of sports lesson? i can't really remember. ithink of sports lesson? i can't really remember. i think i was running and thenl remember. i think i was running and then i collapsed. no heart problems? no. did you know it was even at the time? yes, three of his classmates said he had collapsed on the field. you get numerous things on a daily basis at school. it was another first aid call. i weren‘t running down the stairs. i could see in the distance that somebody was doing cpr. i still had about 100 metres to run. running across the field,

slowly processing what cpr actually means. so, yeah. you hadn't trained on the defibrillator. yes, normal first aid on the defibrillator. yes, normal firstaid training. on the defibrillator. yes, normal first aid training. did you take that with you? no, it is not something you grab when you have heard somebody has fainted. ijoined the receptionist, who was already doing cpr. after ten to 15 seconds, ijoined in and did the rescue press. it suddenly clicked into my head but, hang on, we have got a defibrillator. this is what we need. i started calling to his classmates to get it. you fitted those batteries two days before? yes. i said the staff room, teachers around me, reading the instructions and charging up. was a congenital heart defect. a narrowed artery. that is what they found out. it is just

through great fortune this series of events through great fortune this series of eve nts ca m e through great fortune this series of events came about? incredible, yeah. we had a community defibrillator handy. everybody was running around. we had governors directing the ambulance staff. we have the printable opening the gates to the field. all of these kids running to the teachers telling them what was going on. it worked out really well. an amazing story and a perfect example of why these machines are so important? it is a fantastic story. all of the elements are there. somebody raising the alarm early, dialling 999, starting cpr early and somebody going to get a defibrillator. there is a campaign by the british heart foundation. you wa nt by the british heart foundation. you want everybody to know where the defibrillators r. if he didn‘t know it was there, you wouldn‘t use it. 0ne it was there, you wouldn‘t use it. one of the things i was thinking about when i was reading ethan‘s story and what happened, i would be scared to use this. what if there

was a heartbeat and i hadn‘t heard it when i was attempting cpr chumak and if! it when i was attempting cpr chumak and if i used that, that could kill him and make it even worse. the machine won't let you do that. you ta ke machine won't let you do that. you take it out. you switch it on. it speaks to you. it will tell you what to do. right, 0k. to do. right, ok. call emergency medical services now... follow the voice prompt calmly. remove all clothing from chest and stomach. itjust takes stomach. it just takes you through the whole lot. i would switch it off. would that work on someone if they had a heartbeat? no. the system will analyse to see if they have got a pulse. if there isn't, it won't shock them. if it is, it will say, you need to shock. press this button

here. my mum is trained in first aid as well. when it is your own son, the instructions are telling you, do this, do that, this will sound like a stupid question, did you, were you thinking it was your own son were you just tragic process of like anybody in front of you? we were definitely in first aid mode. i had had the initial reaction of, oh my god, what‘s going on? but by the time we were continuing with chess compressions and doing the breasts, and the defibrillator arrived, that was just a hugely positive step because i knew we were one step closer to solving the problem and getting him back. they are so easy to operate. it wasn‘t really a concern. ethan, i would imagine to operate. it wasn‘t really a concern. ethan, iwould imagine you and yourfriends,

concern. ethan, iwould imagine you and your friends, it is not something that would have been high on your list at all, but now it is something you accept you have to know about? yeah, i was quite accepting in hospital. just like whatever was happening next, ijust accepted it. it was more traumatic for my friends and me. i'm glad you‘re fit and well. i‘m sure your dad is as well. i'm sleeping on right now! thank you for coming on and putting our minds to rest. they are daunting things to use. you ring 999 and the operator will be able to say, your nearest defibrillator is here? there are tens of thousands of these things around the country that the 999 operators don't know where they are. an amazing story. just the sheer fortune of it all. good morning, carol. a good idea to

know where the defibrillators r. this morning‘s weather, mixed fortunes. lovely blue skies in moray. sometime around. we are looking at a cool and fresh today than yesterday. yesterday top temperatures got up to 32 in gravesend. today they will be nine or10 gravesend. today they will be nine or 10 degrees lower. it would be cooler and fresher. the forecast is sunshine and showers. the cat —— the showers courtesy of this weather front. isobars in the north of the country close together. it is also going to be breezy. many of us starting off on a sunny and a drying out. we have some showers in the west. through the day they will develop further east. in the afternoon we could see some heavy and thundering runs across parts of scotla nd and thundering runs across parts of scotland and northern ireland. in between those showers there will be sunny spells. if any getting into

the south—east. temperature wise we are looking from 17 to 24, 25. the highest temperatures down south. as we had through the evening and overnight, a lot of evening sunshine as the showers fade. 0vernight the cloud will build in the south—eastern quarter. at the same timea south—eastern quarter. at the same time a new weather front coming and across scotland and northern ireland will introduce some rain. in between for the rest of scotland, northern england, wales and the east of northern ireland, a cool night. in rural areas, temperatures low. tomorrow we start off with these showers. replaced later in the day by heavy rain in the south—east. it could get further west. we have also got the weather front still producing showery outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland. again, the potentialfor a heavy and thundery outbreaks. in

between, a lot of dry and sunny conditions. showers peppering the west coast of wales and south—west england. something on thursday we haven‘t seen for a while, temperatures below average widely across the uk. 0n temperatures below average widely across the uk. on friday, still a lot of dry weather. still showers in the south. showery air brakes of rain in the north of the country drifting east. we see more rain coming into the south—west. that leads us into the weekend. heavy rain across the northern half of the country, north wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland. dreyer further south. thank you. commemorations will take place in france today to mark the centenary of the battle of amiens. robert hall is there for us this morning. good morning. good morning. beautiful building

behind me, the cathedral. it survived more less intact. —— morell smacked less. not a lot of people know about the battle of amiens. pa rt know about the battle of amiens. part —— part of the purpose of the ceremony is to tell the story and to remind people how significant it was. the events of that they took europe, which was pretty war weary at that time, on a path which would lead ina at that time, on a path which would lead in a few months to an armistice and peace. the tallest cathedral in france. by the 7th of august, the plan was ready. this tower was built to commemorate australian troops. some of them fought north of amiens. if you had stood here on the 8th of

august, 1918, you would have seen the smoke and flames as allied artillery destroyed german guns. and you would have heard the rumble of engines as 500 tanks and over 50,000 troops began to move towards enemy positions. by lunchtime on the first day, the allies had advanced eight miles into enemy territory. men and machines working together. after the disastrous losses of previous models, few men realised the tide was turning. they expected it was going to go on. peter barton asman examining german interviews with allied soldiers captured during the battle. there are thousands of prisoners and they all agree, 90% of them agree, it will do the following year. yet again the following year, before the germans are beaten. even at the beginning of october 1918 at the beginning of 0ctober1918 when the armistice is within

touching distance, they don‘t realise that go to happen. commanders on both sides knew differently. the flood of exhausted, demoralised german prisoners spoke volumes. six allied countries under a single commander had changed the course of the war. the significance of amiens was at the heart of rehearsals for today‘s commemoration. it is part of the journey to a negotiated peace. the importance of carrying that message to new generations. 13—year—old sydney is joining to new generations. 13—year—old sydney isjoining our father in the cathedral.” 13—year—old sydney isjoining our father in the cathedral. i think it is important so we understand what sacrifice was made. for our today they gave their tomorrow. that is an important saying because it is very truthful. stories from those who we re truthful. stories from those who were there will reinforce that message. we travelled at night and stayed in the woods in the daytime.

it was supposed to be a surprise. canadians captured 27,000 prisoners. and in the whole thing 45,000 prisoners besides those who were killed. the german high command called the black day of the german army. we called at the beginning of the last 100 days. i talked about the countries represented. these gentlemen represented. these gentlemen represent two of them. ashley, tell me about your relative? my grandfather, samuel dales, fought for two and a half years in france and fought in the battle of amiens. 0n the third day he was wounded in action with a bullet straight through the shoulder and out the other side. you have a photograph of him. whata other side. you have a photograph of him. what a handsome chap he is! that is his medal. you now live in england. that is because he was

treated there are? that's right, because he was an aussie andy. shot. four days later he was admitted to hospital in england and he fell in love with a british girl. then i emigrated to the uk. robert, tony about yours? this is my grandfather. he was charged on the 10th of august against any new position. i've got to stop because we‘re running out of time. i hope you have a fantastic day. more throughout the day. for now the local news for you. hello there, good morning. 0ne

hello there, good morning. one thing many of you will notice to cross the south—east of england many of you will notice to cross the south-east of england today is how much fresher it will feel compared to yesterday, temperatures dropping by nine or 10 celsius. some sunny spells across most areas, a few showers around western parts, particularly scotland and northern ireland, some showers drifting further eastward into the midlands, but staying dry across the far south—east, maximum temperature of 17-24, that south—east, maximum temperature of 17—24, that fresher feel south—east, maximum temperature of 17—24, that fresherfeel for south—east, maximum temperature of 17—24, that fresher feel for all of us through today. by tonight, some showers drifting in across eastern parts, otherwise, though, a fairly dry night into thursday morning, fairly low single figures in rural areas of northern parts of the uk. further south and east, temperatures holding up in double figures. for thursday, are moving into the south—east of england, east anglia, lincolnshire, perhaps the east midlands. it will feel quite cool here, 17—19dc. elsewhere, lots of

dry weather, showers in the far north—west, 17—21. that area in the east were clear away, moving into scandinavia, and then for friday a fairly quiet day, really, some sunny spells and showers, moving into northern areas. later in the day, some rain spread into the far south—west of england and wales. temperatures about 17—21, 20 two celsius. for some, just below the average for the time of year. into the weekend, an area of low pressure will push in, bringing rain, stronger winds. much of that will be towards northern areas, so for scotland, northern ireland, rain on saturday and into sunday, drier further south with sunny spells. feeling quite warm on sunday with highs of 26 celsius. bye—bye. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and ben bland. the private road ahead.
