can i get you to move forward a little bit? certainly. sorry, david, amlin little bit? certainly. sorry, david, am i in your way? good morning, well, it is not as cold as it was this time yesterday, but there is a good reason for that. it is particularly heavy across wales in south—west england, but most areas will see some wet weather at some point today. i will have the full forecast coming up a little bit later on. it is sunday 12 august. our top story: the family of the airport worker who stole an empty passenger plane from seattle airport before crashing into an island say they are devastated and in complete shock. richard russell, an employee with the ground staff, performed aerobatic manoevres before crashing on a nearby island. it is thought he was killed instantly. no—one else was on board. jenny kumah reports. this is the man thought to have stolen a passenger jet this is the man thought to have stolen a passengerjet from seattle airport on friday. a member of the

public record the plane as it performed erratic manoeuvres across the evening skyline, forcing the airport's closure. soon after, two fighterjets airport's closure. soon after, two fighter jets escorted the airport's closure. soon after, two fighterjets escorted the plane out of harm's way, but according to authorities, were not instrumental in bringing it down. a family friend described richard russell, whose nickname was beebo, as a family man, and spoke of their shock. on behalf of the family, we are stunned and heartbroken. it may seem difficult for those watching at home to believe, but beebo was a warm, compassionate man. it is impossible to encompass who he was in a press release. he was a faithful husband, a loving son, and a good friend. a childhood friend remarked that beebo was loved by everyone, because he was loved by everyone, because he was kind and gentle to each person he met. this is a complete shock to

us. he met. this is a complete shock to us. we are devastated by these events. the fbi say they are working alongside agents from the national transportation safety board to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident, but they believe richard russell was the only person on board. thousands of romanians took part in an anti—government rally in the capital, bucharest, yesterday, a day after clashes left more than 400 people injured. many of the demonstrators are romanian expats who have returned from across europe to voice their anger at the government, accusing it of corruption and abuse of power. the british retailer homebase says it is reviewing its range of weedkillers after a landmark court case against monsanto, the makers of roundup. former school groundsman dewaynejohnson was awarded nearly $300 million after a jury in california ruled the spray, which contains the chemical glyphosate, caused him to develop terminal cancer. monsanto insists its product is safe and says it plans to appeal. a new offence of causing death by dangerous or careless cycling

is to be considered by the government in an effort to improve road safety. cyclists who kill pedestrians would be treated in a similar way to dangerous drivers under the new legislation. the laws are being proposed by the government after mother—of—two kim briggs was killed by a cyclist in 2016. cycling uk, a national charity, claimed a full review of road traffic offences is required. a ceremony will be held in 0magh today to mark the 20th anniversary of the dissident republican bombing which killed 29 people. it was the highest death toll of any attack during the northern ireland troubles. john campbell's report contains some distressing scenes. 15 august 1998, and a car bomb

devastates 0magh town centre. the streets have been busy with shoppers and tourists. an unclear warning meant they were directed to the place where the so—called real ira had planted the bomb. among the 29 victims were nine children, three generations of one family, and a woman pregnant with twins. dozens more people suffered serious injuries. it shook the northern ireland public who were hoping that the developing peace process meant that violence was at an end. and the grief of the victim ‘s' family was compounded by the failure to convicted perpetrators. serious m ista kes convicted perpetrators. serious mistakes in the police investigation we re mistakes in the police investigation were exposed during the unsuccessful prosecution of a man accused of making the bomb. the families had to ta ke making the bomb. the families had to take their own legal action. they successfully sued four man. they we re successfully sued four man. they were all found liable for involvement in the bombing. today, their victims will be remembered through music and pratt at the 0magh

memorial garden. this will be the last regular public commemoration. the family say, in future, they want to reflect and remember in private. a barrister who was accused of abusing boys while running summer camps for young christians has died at his home in south africa. john smyth was 77. he ran camps in dorset in the 19705 and ‘80s and was accused of beating boys with a cane. the deputy mayor of greater manchester has written to northern rail demanding assurances over the future of weekend services. baroness beverley hughes said the current situation was chaotic and unacceptable, following the announcement of a third successive week of sunday cancellations. the operator has apologised and said those affected could apply for compensation. this morning scientists at the us space agency, nasa, are hoping that their dream to send a probe close to the sun will finally get off the ground. the unmanned parker solar probe

was supposed to launch yesterday, but its departure was cancelled with just moments to go. john mcmanus reports. nasa's most exciting missions, destination, the neighbourhood of oui’ destination, the neighbourhood of our nearest star, the sun. close to the moment of liftoff, a helium pressure alarm caused the lodge to be delayed. due to weather conditions the next of virginity is this morning. all being well, the probe will travel through our solar system for three months, before arriving at the corona, the atmosphere around the sun, which is hundreds of times hotter than the star itself. 0ver several years it will gather valuable data about how activity on the son of excommunications here on earth, and it will pick up speed as it goes. at its closest approach hurtling around the sun at 430,000 mph. that is fast enough to get the washing —— from washington dc to tokyo in under a minute. that was john mcmanus reporting. notice how he said all being well in

that report? hopefully we will bring you the launch live just after 8:30am — fingers crossed! there was something of a big countdown on breakfast, you may have spotted yesterday. it is reassuring in this month of travel delays that even nasa can have the odd hold—up. they have another window in two hours and 20 minutes and we will try not to get too excited in case it doesn't happen again. it is the sunday service, clearly. but cape canaveral sunday service, clearly. but cape ca naveral style. now here is some footage to brighten up your sunday morning. a litter of puppies have been getting their paws wet for the first time as they begin their training to become specialist search dogs for northumbria police. cocker spaniels henry, herbert, hartley and hunter had their first swimming lesson in a hydrotherapy pool, to build up their strength and get them used to water. it is hoped all four will pass their training and go on to sniff out things

like drugs, money and weapons. henry, herbert, hartley and hunter, it sounds a bit like an upmarket estate agent. very cute. i didn't realise they did swimming training as well as everything else they have to do. they look more confident in a swimming pool than i did on holiday last week. let's look at today's front pages. the latest in the row over borisjohnson‘s burka comments leads the sunday times, which reports that he has the support of four cabinet ministers. johnson leads the sunday express, as well. according to the newspaper's own poll, the majority of britons do not believe the former foreign secretary should be punished. new analysis of two yougov polls on brexit is the top story on the observer's front page. according to one analytics company,

which looked at two polls injuly as well as census data, public opinion towards brexit appears to be changing, and the shift is starkest in the north of england and wales. and finally, the mail has an interview with thomas markle, who claims he hung up on prince harry during a heated conversation, and was banned from giving a speech at the royal wedding. he has spoken about his scepticism about the media, as well. you will remember that thomas was illjust before the wedding and was in hospital with a heart attack. prince

harry had had a conversation with him and obviously some pretty strong views about paparazzi and the media, and in this conversation between prince harry and his future father—in—law, it ended with a phone being slammed down. not by prince harry. lots of the sunday papers, week by week, seem to be mining this very rich seam of quotes from thomas markle. the rich seam of thomas markle. the rich seam of thomas markle and boris johnson. was raining when you woke up this morning? it was, i got soaked. i walked 150 yards and got very wet. here is chris with a look at this morning's weather. the weather is feeling all british again. for those that wish away the heat and wish the rain on, maybe it is your fault. we some big heat and wish the rain on, maybe it is yourfault. we some big contrast with yesterday and is clear blue

skies, temperatures struggling this time, one to four celsius. for some this morning it is 16 degrees warmer at the moment, with good reason for that. cloud and rain working in. that is the way the weather is going to look today, mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain. the rain will be heaviest across parts of wales and south—west england. here is our area of low pressure. you can see a cold front and along the front we have wiggles, which will be pushing bursts of heavy rain. 0ne wiggles, which will be pushing bursts of heavy rain. one of these lumps of rain working in across wales and south—west england. that is where the rain is at its heaviest. you can see that wet weather pushing all the way up into the central belt of scotland, and as well as the rain and cloud, mist and fog patches over the hills as well. through the rest of the day that band of rain in scotland is going nowhere fast, bits and pieces of rain in northern ireland but perhaps not too much. the rain in south—west england works eastwards into central and southern england, the midlands

and southern england, the midlands and on towards the south—east. it might ease off a time but it will turn heavier later in the day and will be followed by a general area of rain across wales and south—west england. the rain at times probably best sums up the day's weather. temperature—wise, 20 celsius, dealing on the human side are cooler than that in aberdeenshire, where the onshore winds will make it cooler here. heading through sunday evening and overnight, we will see further bursts of rain working eastwards a cross further bursts of rain working eastwards across the country, some rain to come northwards across scotland, eventually reaching the far north of scotland as well. temperatures 12 to 15 degrees and some mist and fog patches forming over the higher ground. here are the weather charts into the earlier stage of the new week. for monday, low pressure still with us. that same low is slowly trying to push its way into the north sea, but still a lot of cloud and some bursts of rain to come, especially the eastern scotland and the eastern side of england as well. one or two

bits and pieces for wales and the midlands. it will brighten up towards south—west england at the most areas i think it will stay pretty cloudy. temperatures ranging from 16 degrees in aberdeen to about 23 degrees in london, which is about average for this time of year. looking at the rest of the week, it stays quite unsettled with further bursts of rain across the north and west of the country, and although it heats up for a time across southern counties of england, with a bit of sunshine, that warmer weather is not set to last too long, temperatures back close to average for the second half of the week tom and again there could be a little bit of rain at times. so for today, could be a little bit of rain at times. so fortoday, quite could be a little bit of rain at times. so for today, quite a lot of heavy rain to come through most areas of the country, but it is at least a mild start today. that is how the weather least a mild start today. that is how the weather is least a mild start today. that is how the weather is shaking least a mild start today. that is how the weather is shaking up. least a mild start today. that is how the weather is shaking up.“ least a mild start today. that is how the weather is shaking up. is it more exciting when the weather is a bit more varied than those acres of sunshine we had for so long?” sunshine we had for so long?|j suppose sunshine we had for so long?” suppose in a way, but this could be my favourite year of weather ever, with the heavy snow, the beast from the east, i love all of that, and a

decent summer with some hot and sunny weather. and we needed some rain, and we have that in bucketloads through the rest of the day. 2018 has been quite a year. it has been like the weather 0lympics, 01’ has been like the weather 0lympics, or the weather world cup. they have had everything and we are still not at the final. we have had penalties. gone through the group stages. boccia is the fastest growing paralympic sport and today the world championships will start in liverpool. 181 athletes from 33 countries will take part in the competition, which can be played by people with some of the most severe disabilities. 0ur disability correspondent nikki fox reports. boccia is the bowls tight game to those with severe disabilities. no matter what your disability, you have the ability to take part at the highest level. my name is david

smith, iam highest level. my name is david smith, i am the boccia play of the gb boccia team, i am paralympic champion, european champion, world number one andi champion, european champion, world number one and i received an mbe 18 months ago. not much. happy days. the object of the sport is to get the ball closest to the weight. six red balls, six blue balls, you can propel them in any way you can. in theory with six balls, you can end up theory with six balls, you can end up scoring six, maximum 24 points per game. 0ther up scoring six, maximum 24 points per game. other only achieved that wa nts. per game. other only achieved that wants. until you per game. other only achieved that wants. untilyou sat per game. other only achieved that wants. until you sat on court with a couple of hours with smithy and you see how he communicates, you will never truly experience what it's like to be world—class. it's been lovely about him. what are we going to do? are we going to have an

actual game. we are going to play boys against girls. i think we know who is going to win. yes, we do. what is this? you've got to get over the white line. this could be terrible, no arms straight. 0h, hello. there you go. but thought he could do sport from a mobility scooter. it's the perfect sport, it encourages participation. i can participate against an able—bodied person and be confident about winning. sweet! this competition is bit -- winning. sweet! this competition is bit —— bigger and winning. sweet! this competition is bit —— biggerand betterthan winning. sweet! this competition is bit —— bigger and better than any i have seen. it's on par if not better than the paralympics. some of the players are incredible, they are all incredible, how they can achieve what they do with what they got and that's what's great about boccia, it is like formula 1 but with the body. this is my design and got to make the most of it. certainly. i'm

sorry, david, am i in yourway? shot! do you think that boccia gets the media attention it should? media coverage has been poor, frankly, and it does my head in. bigger than that, it's more about the legacy. the hope is that boccia become something that people don't go, what's that, it is boccia, we did that in liverpool, we have a club down the road. the athletes become more like superstars and notjust poor little disabled athletes who play boccia. nicky fox their reporting, get in the way. they all take the mickey

out of each other but you get the sense of the competition. 0nce out of each other but you get the sense of the competition. once the world championships are under way, it will be great. it's time to take a look at this week's film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news, and taking us through this week's releases is jason sullivan. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news, and taking us through this week's releases is jason sullivan. what have you got for us? this week, we go to beirut in 1982. it's mad men in the middle east, wherejohn hamm tries to negotiate the release of a hostage in the negotiator. and there's a big goldfish, an angry one coming up. there it is, jason statham getting his teeth into the meg, and a prehistoric shark is on the loose. can he save us from it?

and we take a rare cinematic trip to paraguay for a film called the heiresses. it's about late flowering freedom found amongst older women. so let's start with the negotiator. this has been billed as sort of bond or bourne meets mad men, in beirut. that's right, bourne is a particularly good example, because it's written by tony gilroy, the scriptwriter who wrote the first four bourne films and directed one of them himself. so he's very good on the shady operations of the cia and the negotiations that happen, and mad men, because donald draper, one of the great tv characters of our time, was played byjohn hamm, who left the television after that series to go to the movies, and i don't think he's ever quite had a part that matches don draper — there are very few around — until now. he plays mason skiles. it's not as good a name as don draper, i'll give you that. but he is enjoying the high life in 19705 beirut, when a terrorist incident ruins his life and family. ten years later, he's a washed—up alcoholic settling small trade disputes in notown, america and propping up the local bar, which is when he gets a strange tap on the shoulder and the cia, in shady form, try

to recruit him again. $6,500 and a first class ticket. i wouldn't go back to beirut if it was the last place on earth. flight leaves at 8:45pm tonight. well, it sounds like you've got about six hours to find somebody else. i was told that is not an option. look, i have no idea what's happening here. it would be a lot easier for both of us if i did. but, er... i was told to tell you that... time is extremely tight

and the agency would be deeply grateful for your cooperation. it's a serious request, they know that. tell them i don't have a passport. they put one in there with the ticket. so what do you make of it, jason? well, off he goes to beirut and he's given a handler called sandy, a local cia operative, played by rosamund pike, with a succession of cold stares, which helps him through the rubble of beirut. this film is really good on the atmosphere of the crumbling town that beirut has become, because it's been seized from all sides, druze militia on one side, muslims, christians, thejewish negotiations with the israelis. we don't know who's got the hostage — is it the plo, is it the various militias? it was an extraordinary time in the middle east. i don't know if you were out there as a news correspondent... i was sent to beirut actually in the ‘80s. john mccarthy had just been kidnapped. it was just a terrifying time. so hostage—taking was all the rage, in a way, terry waite and john mccarthy, and that's the era we are in here, especially with the americans trying to horse trade. they wanted the release of another terrorist. it becomes a moral maze as well as a kind of bond scenario. the tension is great. it's a real game of poker,

which is what mason skiles is really good at, and that's whatjohn hamm excels at. he's got this sort of sweaty, intense desperation. one thing that's refreshing about the film is it's a lot of adults talking a lot. the action is not as much as it would be in a bourne, although that's there, but a lot of it is about the negotiations and the quick talking and shady characters. you never know who to trust or not. there is always going to be a switcheroo and a double—cross at the end. it's available in cinemas and on download as well today, and it's called beirut in some territories. if you are looking for the negotiator, sometimes it's called beirut. that's a bit confusing! there you go. let's move on to the meg, which is definitely called just the meg, about a prehistoric shark. it sounds like a watery

version ofjurassic park. i thought it might be like a dance inspired by meg ryan in katz‘s deli doing that fake orgasm, but it's not. jason statham taking on a prehistoric shark, awoken from the sea bed by a billionaire sea explorer. jason, who plays a deep sea rescuer, obviously, goes down in his submersible to try and save people stranded at the bottom, but they awake this shark. something huge is out there, they say. it is. there's this huge shark, like jaws after a lot of fish food. bigger and bigger. almost too big — you can't really see the monster that well. it's almost not as scary as it should be, but there are moments where it leaves teeth marks on the glass, and that is a scary fish! that doesn't deter statham, who dives in. he was a former diver, actually, in his previous career, before he became an action hero. so the watery stuff he's really good at, diving off boats, taking on the shark with his captain ahab moment. look, it's a silly, popcorn, summer blockbuster movie, and it does deliver on all of those. interestingly, although it's about a prehistoric monster, probably the future of blockbusters, with a lot of chinese characters in it, because that's the burgeoning market. and it's set in some chinese resort, a swishy chinese resort where there are a lot of people in the water and they need

to get out pretty quick before the shark comes. but statham will be there to save them, don't worry, and if you are worried, as seems to be contractually obliged, in alljason statham films, he does get his top off at some point. it's up to you to decide if that's anything to do with it. all right. thank you very much for that. and then we've got the heiresses, which is a spanish drama. even more unusual than that, it's a paraguayan drama. i'm not sure i've ever seen a film from paraguay. we've had a great latin american new wave of films from chile at the moment, argentina and brazil over the last 15 years. this is the first from paraguay and, if this is anything to go by, i hope there's a lot more to come. it's called the heiresses, and it's a really extraordinary story about two women who live in a crumbling mansion in the capital of paraguay. that's a good question — what's the capital of paraguay?

er... it's asuncion. of course, i did know that. it was on the tip of my tongue. ecuador? no. so in asuncion, and i've never really seen it in the cinema before, but it's obviously a capital that is riven by inequality, so there's the wealthy area, where this is set, and it's about class privilege, but it's also about a female couple who live in a house they've clearly inherited, but they are coming up on hard times. one of them might be sent to prison for tax evasion, so selling off the family silver. 0k, it looks pretty atmospheric. it is. the atmosphere is really good, the cinematography, the kind of crumbling nature of this area, but also the faces that we get. one of the women that we see there is chela. when her partner gets sent to jail, that prison is very evocative. it's a chaotic space with poorer people.

she ends up sort of ferrying richer women around, because they don't trust local taxi drivers in paraguay. in most of south america, a risk of kidnap is a major thing. there's a lot of it about this week in the movies. she becomes a sort of local taxi driverfor the rich, the ladies who lunch in this area of asuncion, and she suddenly discovers a freedom when she gets behind the wheel of a car, a late—flowering romance with another woman called angie, who she finds rather sensual and striking, played by ana ivanova. the woman, chela, won the best actress at the berlin film festival earlier this year for her performance. it's her first screen performance ever. that's how rare cinema is in paraguay. she's been a stage actress all her life and this is her first ever screen appearance. you'd never know. she's brilliant. i hope there is more from paraguay. it's a very tender, atmospheric and suggestible film. it is very slight and you have to read between the lines, a lot of glances and looks, but i thought it was excellent and a really impressive debut. probably the film of the week. 0k. jason, best out at the moment? the best film out at the moment, i know there is mamma mia and mission impossible, but if you are looking for a sort of small british success, there is a film called apostasy,

which is out at the moment. again, a rare glimpse into a society i'd never seen on camera before. it's jehovah's witnesses. the writer and director of this, dan kokotajlo, was a jehovah's witness growing up and he's sort of now showing what it's like in there. if you've ever wondered what it's like — and it's notjust the jehovah's witnesses, it's any religion, any sect where the intensity, children are growing up and splitting from the mother and questioning things... you rarely see a british film that's actually about religion or about faith, and that's what this is. i thought it was brilliant. fantastic performances from molly wright and siobhan finneran, who plays the mother. a brilliant glance into a bit of british society which, you think you've seen it all, you haven't. and a quick look at the best dvd.

a big change of pace here! i'm going for peter rabbit, which is out. not anything immediately to do with beatrix potter, which i always found a bit twee, be honest. this is james corden voicing beatrix potter's fluffy—tailed hero, and i think he does it rather well. i think it's funny. it got terrible reviews when it came out, including from me, and i've since seen it with my kids and i think it's really funny. they love it, it's got a lot of energy, and it's kind of anarchic and funny, and very well done in many places, with lots of characters for the animals. it's a very funny film, and i'm sorry i gave it a bad review in the first place. i'm retracting that and saying it's good. jason, you've changed your mind. thank very much indeed, jason. that is it for this week. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast, with chris mason and sally nugent. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: the family of the airport worker who stole an empty passenger plane from seattle airport, before crashing into an island, say they are devastated and in complete shock. richard russell, an employee with the ground staff, performed aerobatic manouevres before crashing on a nearby island. it is thought he was killed instantly. no—one else was on board. his family said he was a warm and compassionate individual who hadn't wanted to harm anyone.

on behalf of the family, we are stunned and heartbroken. it may seem difficult for those watching at home to believe, but beebo was a warm, compassionate man. it is impossible to encompass who he was in a press release. he was a faithful husband, a loving son, and a good friend. a childhood friend remarked that beebo was loved by everyone, because he was kind and gentle to each person he met. this is a complete shock to us. we are devastated by these events. ten people are in hospital after a man opened fire after a sweet tarmac street carnival in manchester. earlier, crowds had been celebrating

the annual karelian —— caribbean carnival in the area. thousands of romanians took part in an anti—government rally in the capital, bucharest, yesterday, a day after clashes left more than 400 people injured. many of the demonstrators are romanian expats who have returned from across europe to voice their anger at the government, accusing it of corruption and abuse of power. the british retailer homebase says it is reviewing its range of weedkillers after a landmark court case against chemical giant monsanto, the makers of roundup. former school groundsman dewaynejohnson was awarded nearly $300 million after a jury in california ruled the spray, which contains the chemical glyphosate, caused him to develop terminal cancer. monsanto insists its product is safe and says it plans to appeal. a new offence of causing death by dangerous or careless cycling is to be considered by the government, in an effort to improve road safety.

cyclists who kill pedestrians would be treated in a similar way to dangerous drivers under the new legislation. the laws are being proposed by the government after mother—of—two kim briggs was killed by a cyclist in 2016. cycling uk, a national charity, claimed a full review of road traffic offences is required. a ceremony will be held in 0magh today to mark the 20th anniversary of the dissident republican bombing which killed 29 people, the highest death toll of any attack during the northern ireland troubles. the victims, among them nine children, three generations of one family, and a woman pregnant with twins, will be remembered at the town's memorial garden for the final time, as families look to reflect in private in the future. the deputy mayor of greater manchester has written to northern rail demanding assurances over the future of weekend services. baroness beverley hughes said the current situation was chaotic and unacceptable, following the announcement of a third successive week of sunday cancellations. the operator has apologised and said those affected could apply for compensation. this morning scientists

at the us space agency, nasa, are hoping that their dream to send a probe close to the sun will finally get off the ground. the unmanned parker solar probe was supposed to be launched yesterday, but its departure was cancelled with just moments to go. once on its way, the probe will venture closer to earth's nearest star than any other spacecraft. it does sound like something from a movie. it does, really, although not a great movie yesterday, given that it didn't get up. we have our fingers crossed. and we are hoping to bring that to you live on the programme. something that went right yesterday was dina asher—smith's performers. what a superstar shias.

she is brilliant. and have you met her before? yes. she is a bundle of energy, you wonder when she ever switches off. it is so refreshing in sport to see someone talk so passionately, but what an achievement last night at the european championships in berlin. earlier in the week she broke her own record in the 100m, and then got the sprint double, notjust winning at but cruising the victory. the world is her oyster. she won a bronze medal at the olympics, she won the commonwealth games gold medal, already has a gold at this level in the european championships. absolutely unreal, this is schippers being beaten by dina asher—smith. the final of the women's 200m under

way once again, and dina asher—smith, schippers leaving herself with a huge amount to do. dina asher—smith is three metres already off samuel. here comes schippers, schippers chasing down dina asher—smith but making no ground, and dina asher—smith takes the title. 21.89, she has done it again. she goes quicker still. my parents, both of them, are at almost every single race, it doesn't matter where in the world, australia, china, they are there. so whenever i finish a race i look for them. when they will be there, beaming. it doesn't matter whether i do really well really badly, they are always there. are you speaking to your mum, what was she saying to you? she was so what was she saying to you? she was so proud of me. they have been there from the start, they have been at every single race, cheering me if! won or if they came eighth. and just to see them so happy and almost teary eyed at my achievement warms my heart as well. hopefully i can

send them on holiday now. quite a nice gesture from asher—smith. not long after speaking to us, she did catch up with her mum. perhaps she is giving her daughter a list of potential destinations for that holiday. there were three more medals on the track for great britain, as martyn rooney anchored the men's 4x400 metre relay to silver. the women took bronze, whilst shara proctor finished third in the women's long jump. and we liked this from the track yesterday. this is the italian high jumper gianmarco tamberi, and his half—beard. he has done it for a while, apparently. he says it is his trademark now, saying he likes to be on stage and to entertain the audience. imight bring i might bring that in tomorrow. do

it! you should have done it today. anyway, we need to move on. the other venue for these championships is glasgow, and while the track cycling may be done, the medals on two wheels kept coming. kyle evans led home a british one—two in the men's bmx, with 18—year—old kye white taking home the silver. evans was lost for words after what he described as a huge performance. and there was gold and silver in the diving pool, as grace reid edged out alicia blagg to win the 3 metre springboard title. britain are now top of the diving table, with ten medals, four of them gold. to the premier league now and it was an entertaining first saturday of the season, with 16 goals, a red card and plenty of debuts to pore over, as nick parrott reports. after defeat in last weekend's community shield, chelsea got their league campaign off to a flying start. huddersfield are less daunting prospect than champions

manchester city, but the blues are very much a work in progress. the new manager gave a debut to the world's most expensive gold goalkeeper, while another summer signing, jorginho, scored a penalty, before pedro wrapped up a 3—0 win. you said it might take two or three months to see the best of this chelsea team. do you think you can do it before that? i hope so, it depends on the players. it is not so easy for me in this moment. none of the promoted sides could manage a win, as fulham went down 2—0 at home to crystal pallas, and cardiff lost by the same score at bournemouth. wolves put up a fantastic fight at molineux. richarlison scored twice on his everton debut. had jagielka not been set up, —— off, they might have won. instead, wolverhampton

level through jimenez. newcastle pull ahead —— tottenham pulled ahead of newcastle at st james's park. the video assistant referee used at the world cup is yet to arrive in the premier league. kane's team—mate alli scored. and roberto pereira scored twice as watford beat brighton to have an zero. —— 2—0. hearts are the early leaders in the scottish premiership after beating champions celtic 1—0 at tynecastle. this volley from kyle lafferty sealed it for hearts, who have got two wins out of two at the start of the season. it is celtic‘s earliest defeat in the league for 12 years. england's crickters have a big lead over india in the second test at lord's, thanks to a first test century from chris woakes. after two days interrupted by rain, england's batsmen struggled in the morning session. they lost four wickets before lunch, but a partnership between woakes and jonny bairstow put them into a dominant position.

they finished on 357—6, a lead of 250. they will be hoping the rain stays away today. the forecast doesn't look good at all. next to the the pga championship in missouri, and the american brooks koepka is in the lead going into today's final round. koepka, who won the us open injune, shot 66 in to leave him on 12—under overall, two shots clear of adam scott in second. but tiger woods is also lurking on eight—under as he continues his comeback from injury and chases his 15th major title and how about this at macclesfield town yesterday. the official attendance was 2,589 humans and one goose. their league two match with grimsby had to be stopped, because of this goose. it gave everyone the runaround for a while — needs some

benny hill music really. they weigh about eight kilograms. i have some chuckle brothers news as well, which i will bring you at 7:30 a.m.. chuckle brothers, brilliant. this morning nasa is hoping it is second time lucky as it plans to launch the parker solar probe, that will take mankind nearer to the sun than ever before, withstanding temperatures that could melt steel. wow. lift—off was originally planned for yesterday, but was cancelled after a technicalfault. we're joined now chris copperwheat, astrophysicist at liverpooljohn moores university. good morning to you. yesterday there was a technical problem, and today there might actually be a weather challenge. well, you never know with

weather, because the launch windows are very small. you look at the flight are very small. you look at the flight path of this mission, it is like an extremely complicated pull shot. it has to fly past venus seven times and make that shot exactly, so the window is quite small and there is always a risk with the weather. yesterday it was cancelled literally at the last minute. there were warning lights, and when you have a mission like this which is years in the planning and multi—million pounds, you don't take any chances. what is the point of this mission? good question. the sun is very important to us, it is the source of energy and light. we don't understand a lot of aspects of the sun, so the energy is generated in the middle, so it is hotter in the middle and cools as it comes out, and then you have this region around it called the corona, the crown, so when you see a solar eclipse, you see that wispy stuff around the sun, thatis see that wispy stuff around the sun, that is the corona. the corona is extremely hot, millions of degrees hotter than the surface of the sun.

we don't really understand that, there is a process heating up that outer region, so this mission will examine that corona. what is interesting is there are wins in space, space weather, and these charged particles hit the earth, which is how we get the aurorae, or the northern lights, and these are a risk to our satellites and power grid, so understanding this space wind, these charged particles, is really fundamental to our modern space based economy. and you have explained it has a complicated journey to get on the right path to where it is going. when it gets there, how does it send the data back, and how long will that take? you are talking about eight minutes to send the data back. there are complications because there is all sorts of radio interference. the real challenge is getting that close to the sun. you would think getting

there would be easy, you launch the rocket, you set the controls for the heart of the sun, and you let it go. you need to slow down massively. so you think we are on the earth, why doesn't the earth fall into the sun? the reason is the earth is in an orbit and travel extremely quickly around the sun. if you launch a rocket from the earth, it is also travelling at that speed, 67,000 mph. if you fire it at the sun it will miss because it has that velocity in that direction. you need to slow down, rocket in the other direction and match the speed of the earth in order to get it in. and thatis earth in order to get it in. and that is extremely difficult, and that is extremely difficult, and thatis that is extremely difficult, and that is why you need one of the largest rockets, possibly the largest rockets, possibly the largest rocket, a massive rocket, and even that is not enough. you need to fly by venus, it is going to fly by venus seven times and use the gravity of venus to slow down. it is like the world's most complicated pull shot, it will aim for venus and whizz around seven times over the course of the next six or seven years, getting closer and closer to

the sun every time. it turns out it was a little more complicated than we thought. but we did it with a cup and a pairof we thought. but we did it with a cup and a pair of glasses. thank you clear explanation, cheers. should we not to be too mean? what are the things i was reading about this probe is that it will become the fastest human made object ever and the speed it will be going out inafew and the speed it will be going out in a few years, less than a few seconds to get between london and manchester which is mind blowing. as far as the weather goes, the temperature contrasts across the country compared with yesterday. yesterday had these temperatures. its 16 degrees warmer and there is a good reason for that. it is going to

bea good reason for that. it is going to be a particularly soggy day today with some of the heaviest rain targeting wales in south—west england perhaps apart from the far north of scotland. it shows the area of low pressure, cold fronts, the strea k of of low pressure, cold fronts, the streak of cloud working across england and wales. what will happen is there are going to be bursts of rain. particularly heavy across the moment across wales in south—west england, these lumps of rain running along the frontal zone. as the day, starting to work along the southern coast of england. not to have either been persistent nevertheless and as the main band of rain clears away, i suspect that computers are under doing the rain. we have got another weather front that is going to be

moving across here. the rain at times cover at and it will be murky across the hills. a bit cooler than that in eastern scotland where we have onshore winds in aberdeenshire. further bursts of braydon coming and going, turning drier later. the rain will be persistent across eastern scotla nd will be persistent across eastern scotland where it will be quite murky with mist and fog patches across the high ground on the coast. 12- 15, across the high ground on the coast. 12-15, the across the high ground on the coast. 12— 15, the overnight low taking us into monday, the same pressure with us, these two weather fronts moving gradually eastwards but it's going to ta ke gradually eastwards but it's going to take a good while so across eastern scotland and central and eastern scotland and central and eastern parts of england and wales, some further bursts of brayden. a bit drier across western parts of the uk but still a lot of cloud around. temperature wise, — 16

degrees. 23 is about right this time of year. the weather stays quite u nsettled of year. the weather stays quite unsettled across the north—west of the country. it probably warms up but no return of the heatwave. it's an unsettled outlook. for all of us today, they're going to see some fairly heavy rain at times. u nsettled, unsettled, makes a return. but there is sunshine somewhere. now it's time for the travel show. we're starting our travels this week is sarajevo, the capital city of bosnia—herzegovina. it is fascinating and genuinely beautiful, and it feels more turkish, more islamic than the rest of the balkans. the shops are filled with silverware. and with that comes architecture and a distinct food culture. the small city centre lies

in a valley surrounded by hills, so there are wonderful views almost everywhere. but of course, we don't know sarajevo though primarily for its beauty. we know it for the terrible siege that ended in more than 10,000 people losing their lives in the early 1990s. for three and a half years, bosnian serbs rained rockets down on the city. a quarter of a century later, the scars still visible. this used to be a holiday inn and was where the world's press was stationed during the siege. it became a symbol of the war and you might remember its distinctive yellow cladding on the outside that has still been kept this day. the hotels onlyjust changed hands. it has had extensive renovation work and has recently reopened under a new name.

you would never know that for years, it was subject to frequent shelling and gunfire. normally, you might pay extra for a view of these hills, but for that very same reason, it was one of the most dangerous spots to be in this hotel. artillery fire was being blasted from the top of those hills and actually lit this building on fire above the floor multiple times. i'm given a tour by hajro. during the war, he ran catering for the journalists stationed here. these days, he's the executive director. can you tell us what role the hotel played during the war? and the hotel went through some recent renovations and the average person walking in would not see anything that reminded them of the war. can you tell us what role the hotel played during the war?

and the hotel went through some recent renovations and the average person walking in would not see anything that reminded them of the war. he's very keen to emphasise how this hotel is looking forward to the future these days. he's very keen to emphasise how this hotel is looking forward to the future these days. but it's not the only bosnian icon getting a shiny makeover. this long abandoned cable car network finally reopened just a few months ago. it has been out of use since the war began.

this is one of the old cable cars built for the olympics in 1984. it fell into ruin during the siege, but they still have one here on display. ajla here is deeply in love with sarajevo. how was the ride? nice. and she has agreed to take me up into the hills. you can see all of the city? every little bit. yes, everything, all of its glory. the renovation of the cable cars seems like a big deal for the city. yes, it is. it's a symbol of a city. the people were delighted by the fact that you can go up to the mountain in ten minutes, enjoy the fresh air, beautiful nature and then again you are in the heart of the old town. the hills up here were positions for serbian snipers and for artillery. there's a view of most of sarajevo. only in recent times have the landmines been cleared. you can still see the odd military bunker.

once at the top, there's one more repurposed relic, the bobsled track. built for sarajevo's moment in the sun, the winter olympics in 1984. its redecorated and the colour and nature up here made for a wonderful ride. action! ready, steady, go! ready, not so steady. i need more practise at this. we did, i think, a slow version because i was not sure on the brake. you can speed up really fast, that's the whole point, right? yeah. supposed to be a bobsled shooting down this. in the war, it was a shelter for the serbian army so they could shoot the city and everything. so unfortunately, it had that sad purpose. but i think the people made the thing to repaint it and everything to make it more joyful. with interesting activities like this, do you think it's a step away from memories of the war? yes, definitely. people are urging to go forward and not think any more about war, to have a normal life, to have a decent life. so unfortunately, it had that sad purpose. but i think the people made the thing to repaint it and everything to make it more joyful.

with interesting activities like this, do you think it's a step away from memories of the war? yes, definitely. people are urging to go forward and not think any more about war, to have a normal life, to have a decent life. next february, we have the winter olympic games for young ones, so i think also its a good way to show that over here, we are more than what happened 20 years ago. in the 1920s and 30s, le touquet on france's north coast was the destination for wealthy british. the birth of the jet age and long—haul travel mean it has been largely overlooked ever since, but now innovations in flight sharing could put it back on your radar. we sent cat to try it. just outside of london, not far from heathrow, is black bushe airport.

this is not quite what i was expecting, but i am told this is the airport. hi, paul. how are you? good. a sunny day, the windsocks pointing downward. should be a sunny day. i am sharing a flight with paul. he got his private pilot's licence 25 years ago. i don't know how you fit four people in it. my goodness. this is tiny. i found paul through a website called wingly.

thank uber of the skies, sort of. you pick a date, destination, request a seat and pay. it's one of a number of flight sharing platforms out there, flying between general aviation airfields which are closer to town. so i have chosen a day trip to le touquet in france. we're in the air. like a flying car. what do you love about flying? i love getting out and the freedom you have about flying, getting to the middle of nowhere and getting to go anywhere. paul's dayjob is in it. being able to share flights pays for this rather expensive hobby and he can keep his flying hours up. we get to fly at maybe a quarter of a cost of a normal flight because we split it with our passengers. how much do you charge passengers? the fuel, the plane, and things like that. these are mixed costs. then they get divided by the number of passengers in the plane. so you are not allowed to make any money off this? yes, noncommercial pilot are not

allowed to make profits, so i'm paying for this flight, the same as you are. my place cost £150, but unlike a commercial flight, it's a very weather dependent. it could've been cancelled at a moment's noticed it paulfelt it was unsafe to fly. we are flying over france now and starting to pick up some radio signals coming through. welcome to france. yay! my legs definitely feel a bit wobbly. i'll tell you what, i'm glad i didn't have breakfast this morning. le touquet was once a busy international hub, but now you need a private plane to fly here. stuff like sharing is a great way to visit without blowing the budget. plus, the airport is practically in town, so all you need is a bike. once you clear customs, of course.

pilot paul to tour guide paul. ready to go? i think so. i had her member which side of the road to be on. oh, yeah. the town is not a mix of old british charm and french leisure. this 116—year—old chocolate shop is an institution here. 0k, confession time, i maybe got a little carried away in there. but it smelled so good. but all good things come to an end. we have to be back before sunset because the airfield in britain has
