6:01 am
of parliament on tuesday. salih khater will appear before magistrates tomorrow. jon donnisonjoins us now from westminster. jon, what more do we know? well, this relates to an incident on tuesday morning here, just after 7:30 a.m., right in the middle of the rush hour, when on this road right in front of parliament a ford fiesta came down the road, veered off into pedestrians and cyclists, before heading towards some police officers and crashing into one of the security barriers. now, police now say that 29—year—old salih khater, from birmingham, has been charged. he is facing two charges, the first of attempting to murder civilians, members of the public, and the second of attempting to murder police officers. now, police say they are treating this case as terrorism related. they say they are doing that because of the
6:02 am
methodology used, the iconic nature of the location, and also the fact that members of the public and police officers were targeted. salih khater is due to appear at westminster magistrates court on monday. indian rescuers in helicopters and boats have braved torrential rain to reach people stranded in floodwaters in the southern state of kerala. nearly 200 people have been killed in the past ten days, many in landslides, following the heaviest monsoon rains for a century. schools and community centres have been converted into relief camps. simon clemison reports. there is life here, you just have to find it. the houses not the only thing is waist deep in water. others are high but dry. and by road, and by air, help is coming. even then,
6:03 am
you might have to swim for it. there are many people who are still trapped in their houses, in many places. i hope they get their help very soon. we couldn't stay there any more, and i'm thankful to the people that brought us out of that. it is natural for kerala to get some of the country's highest rainfall during monsoon season, but this year there has been much more than expected. there is hope, though. the activity has been going on in kerala for the last so many days, however, the rainfall activity and its intensity has decreased. some comfort, but little, as officials say nearly a third of a million people are now living in aid camps. then there is the damage they will return to. kerala can't afford any more rain. the boss of the company responsible for the motorway bridge which collapsed in genoa on tuesday says he won't apologise ahead of an investigation into what happened. autostrade's ceo, giovanni castellucci,
6:04 am
also said he is committed to finding the cause of the tragedy which claimed 42 lives. andrew plant reports. safety workers securing parts of the structure still standing after the devastating collapse last tuesday. the company which operated this bridge has expressed its sympathy for the victims, but stopped short of an apology. you apologise if you feel you are responsible. as i said before, i believe that the situation... the technical situation is so complex that it is up to the, i mean, justice to understand what happened, and why, and under which conditions. we will do whatever we can to help justice to go fast and deep.
6:05 am
it could be many months before the investigation into what happened here provides any definitive answers. meanwhile, funerals for the 42 people killed have been taking place. 18 laid to rest at this state funeral on saturday, though some families have stayed away, opting for private services, angry at the italian government. it will, they say, be many months before the roadway is rebuilt. the collapse of the bridge built in the 19605 has started a fierce national debate about italy's infrastructure, and the money it spends on maintenance. no—one else is believed to be missing, though rescue workers say there is a possibility of finding more bodies as they slowly begin to remove the rubble. andrew plant, bbc news. downing street has confirmed that a series of briefing papers will be released this week informing people and businesses what to do in the event that britain leaves the eu with no agreement. brexit secretary dominic raab will travel to brussels on tuesday

to meet with eu chief negotiator, michel barnier, to pick up the pace and intensity of discussions, before giving a speech outlining the government's "no deal" plans. globalfigures have paid tribute to the former secretary general of the un, kofi annan, who has died aged 80. theresa may described him as a great leader and reformer, and barack obama said he never stopped in his pursuit of a better world. mr annan served two terms in the top job at the un and was awarded a nobel peace prize for his humanitarian work. i think he took the world into the modern age. i think he was the first leader of the 21st century. i mean, trying to build an international community where countries could work together, co—operate freely, and tackle what he saw as the biggest problems, poverty, inequality, climate change, and of course
6:07 am
conflict. a british paraglider has been killed in a mid—air collision during a competition in macedonia. 54—year—old innes powell, who had decades of experience as an instructor and competitor, crashed into a ukrainian rival, who also died. the nhs knew a type of syringe pump used to administer drugs to patients in england and wales was dangerous, and health bosses failed to withdraw the equipment from use, in a bid to save money, according to the sunday times. the paper says hospitals kept using the syringe pumps for at least eight years after the nhs knew they weren't safe. the nhs has confirmed there was a five—year delay in withdrawing the equipment while adequate alternative pumps were introduced. tom burridge reports. the sunday times says up to nine people died because the nhs continued to use a type of syringe pump which was known to be potentially dangerous. the ms26 and
6:08 am
msiga potentially dangerous. the ms26 and ms16a were used in the nhs for 30 yea rs. ms16a were used in the nhs for 30 years. they were used to administer drugs into the patient‘s bloodstream over an extended period of time. the two models looked similar but released drugs at different rates, and that sometimes lead to confusion and that sometimes lead to confusion and mistakes being made. the government is already investigating whether the equipment could have been withdrawn from use more quickly. now, the sunday times says health bosses decided to phase the pumps out over five years from 2010 to 2015, partly because of the cost applications of replacing them with modern, safer alternatives. in a statement, nhs improvement said the 2015 five—year deadline was set to ensure there was enough time to source an acceptable alternative device and in short staff were properly trained —— ensure. it is thought there are no more of the
6:09 am
older style syringe pumps in use in the nhs today. the uk's new aircraft carrier, hms queen elizabeth, has set sail for the united states. the flagship left portsmouth yesterday evening. a pair of f—35 fighters will practice take—off and landings from the £3 billion carrier during her 11 weeks at sea. impressive sight, isn't she? i saw her earlier in the year and everyone was just lining the her earlier in the year and everyone wasjust lining the sides her earlier in the year and everyone was just lining the sides to see her. there mightjust be something in the water at a hospital in the us state of arizona, where 16 nurses have found out they are all pregnant at the same time. that is 10% of the nursing staff in the intensive care unit. there will be a joint baby shower for all the women next week, before they start going on their 12 weeks of maternity leave. they will need a few locums to fill
6:10 am
and while they are all away at the same time. meteorologists in india have forecast more rain in the state of kerala, but say its intensity is easing. monsoon floods have devastated the region, and all 44 rivers have burst their banks. nearly 200 people have been killed in landslides and collapsed buildings. disaster management teams have stepped up efforts to rescue those stranded by floodwater. we can speak now to devendra tak, from humanitarian aid charity save the children, who joins us from kerala. thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us. i know it is a very busy time for you. just bring us up—to—date, if you would be kind enough, with the labour situation there today. kerala is often purely thought of as god's own country, and it now has a god—given opportunity to deliver a very efficient response to the
6:11 am
humanitarian needs here. because of the flooding and landslides in the region, people have been affected very badly. most of the population is in severe need of support and relief. the weather is improving, they say, but there are many rumours right now. saying that the weather is going to improve. but the problems are going to be there for a long time. any response to disasters is never as print, it is always a marathon. we also need to think about the rehabilitation of kerala, and because kerala is the state with the highest illiteracy in the country, and the development in the area, we have the resources to
6:12 am
deliver a rehabilitation programme. soi deliver a rehabilitation programme. so i think it can shift towards a programme to make sure people can get back into their homes safely and resumed their livelihoods in and effective manner. we're looking at images from kerala while you are speaking, and the picture we are seeing is a region which is reasonably affluent and is as able as any region is to respond to this. what is needed from the outside world, if anything, to help? of course, i mean, the problem is quite gigantic. so one thing about kerala is adequate resources to tackle the problem, with a large number of people affected. it will require a lot of support from outside nations, as well as corporations in india and individuals. and the government has
6:13 am
the onus to carry out a very vigorous relief and rehabilitation programme. basic resources like food and medicines, because the roads we re and medicines, because the roads were not traverse of all, and there was a short supply of fuel —— traversible. many shops have been close for a couple of days in most locations. so people don't have many items available to them right now, evenin items available to them right now, even in the short term, we are trying to ensure that children can access education, and ensuring their well—being. people here were require support financially, and also in terms of time and counselling. save the children have many models implemented in india and around the world, and so do other ngos. we have
6:14 am
been working for many years in this pa rt been working for many years in this part of the world. so we all have to come together, and like i said, this isa come together, and like i said, this is a god—given opportunity to ensure we build—upa is a god—given opportunity to ensure we build—up a programme and response right now which can be used in the future. let's ta ke let's take a flip through the papers. brexit. 100 tories are set to rebel on the chequers deal but the prime minister wants to see through in terms of her version of brexit. these rebels are led by jacob rees—mogg and whether those numbers are correct is another story. the front page of the observer. £1 million to boost the
6:15 am
people's vote by the boss of super dry. a world exclusive with football's first of referee. lucy clark who referees and some of the lower legs and will be back in action. she has the full support of the football association after she has transitioned. she will be there on the sidelines and refereeing. she hopes that she can get back to men's football as well. the sunday times say racists are flocking to boris johnson's facebook page. and the story about the syringes lower down. it's time to look at the weather.
6:16 am
hake a look, how sneaky. well, i am standing by water, there is a fish connection there somewhere. if you cast your mind back to yesterday, a lot of cloud and very humid and to many of us, a similar day. some rain around this morning. the remnants of what was ex— tropical storm ernesto, lingering through this morning across parts of scotland and northern england. also extending down. that will slowly push its way eastwards. i decide to mean, most places will be dry. a fresh appeal humour to the south, much of england and wales, very humid air. many places will be dry. it averages up to 24, 25 places will be dry. it averages up to 2a, 25 celsius. still fairly
6:17 am
noticeable across england and wales. temperatures in any bright or sunny spells getting up to 2a, 25 and quite widely between 18 and 22. there is the chance to do but get the odd spot of rain and drizzle. for much of the day, mainly dry. overnight, a fairly quiet night. the winds will be much lighter. a lot of cloud around. temperatures here around ten or 11 and further south across northern ireland, england and wales, the humid night with temperatures not much lower than 15 or 16. the isobars are slightly further apart. the winds will be lighter. it looks like the shower distribution is a little bit further south than we thought yesterday. some parts of northern scotland escaping with a dry day. coming down
6:18 am
to parts of wales and the midlands. many having a largely dry day. a lot of cloud around but bright and sunny spells. foremost, somewhere between 18 and 22. tuesday, we see a more general speller brain. showers are northern ireland, affecting parts of northern england. mainly dry day. across much of england and wales, still miss humid air. up to 21125. a cloud in humid start all of us away from the far north of scotland, a scattering of showers. back to you. it's been a bit iffy, is the best word i can use. a bit of rain by the sounds of it. we'll have all the headlines
6:19 am
at 6:30 but first, it's time for the film review with jason solomons and jane hill. hello, and a warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. hi, jason — what have you been watching? hi,jane. well, this week, an uptight ewan mcgregor gets a surprise visit from some familiar furry flying friends. he's with hayley atwell. more to come in disney's christopher robin. there's a love letter from one film—maker to another, as mark cousins addresses his hero orson welles in a documentary called the eyes of orson welles, which is inspired by finding a treasure trove of orson welles' never—before—seen sketches and drawings.
6:20 am
and the boss is back, just in time for the football — denzel washington pops up with the equalizer 2. he is on a vengeful mission, and you don't want to get in his way. i wouldn't argue with him! starting with christopher robin... only a pg, and i am fascinated about whether this is really children's film, for summer? what is this? ijust came from a screening where there were children there with their merchandise, thinking, "great, i am going see a winnie—the—pooh movie — how cute." they're not. ah, they're not. what they will see is very cute. he is famously a bear of little brain, but this is a movie of very big heart. it starts with ewan mcgregor as an adult christopher robin, though i stress not the real christopher robin, referring to a film earlier this year called goodbye, christopher robin, about the rather miserable life that the real christopher robin had. this christopher robin is miserable, working in post—war london for a luggage firm. he has too much work on his plate, can't spend enough time with his wife, hayley atwell, and his child madeline — played by a brilliantly—named child british actress,
6:21 am
bronte carmichael — very posh. she's very good, though, as well. he's very stressed out and can't work out what is happening at work, and he gets a visit from a childhood friend, which might make him lighten up for the weekend... 0h. what to do, what to do, what to do... what to do indeed. pooh? christopher robin. no! no, no, no... you can't be here. mm. this can't be happening. the stress. it's not stress. god, i'm stressed. it's pooh. i'm so exhausted. madelaine warned me! i like to be warmed. warmed and cosy. i've cracked! i've totally cracked. i don't see any cracks.
6:22 am
a few wrinkles...maybe. is that pooh with an american accent? am i mishearing that? he always has an american accent, pooh, because he's voiced by the famous actor, jim cummings, who always does pooh and tigger as well, you remember tigger — "the wonderful thing about tiggers, their bottoms are made out of springs..."? and he does the song, don't worry. thank goodness. and also eeyore has an american accent, and if you remember that film with mark wahlberg, ted, with the swearing, smoking bear, this is kind of the pg version of that. the characters are there, but as you see they're sort of furry characters, and it's about handing things on to the next generation. and here we see madeline having a tea party on the train with the characters, as they try to come to london to try to make her father have a nice time, to remember the childish things he'd put away when he was so very young. it's that kind of lesson. we get that in disney movies,
6:23 am
in films like elf, where the father has to remember what it was like to be young. but we want this to be as good as paddington, that's the trouble, which is brilliant. yes, there's a sort of influx of furriness going on on the streets of london right now. this isn't paddington. a lot of nods to paddington, and even a part for some of the people who were in paddington — some voices cast, the voice of peter capaldi as rabbit here. it's very strange. i actually thought it was rather sweet, and it kind of worked, but it is a very odd concoction, and i also have no idea whom it's for, because it isn't really for kids — it is for grown—up kids who can't put away childish things, which actually strikes me very much as disney's core audience right now because they are the ones doing superheroes and star wars. it's for that age group as well, trying to remember what it was like to be young. ok, so it sounds like a curious mixture. curiouser and curiouser. said alice. and you're bringing a documentary as your second choice? yes, mixing things up. this one is certainly for film fans. citizen kane was voted the number
6:24 am
one film six decades in a row, the best film ever made. orson welles is often cited as the best film—maker ever. certainly in terms of images. well, mark cousins, a well—known film historian, who worked at the bbc, he discovered a treasure trove of orson welles' sketches and he got them out and realised what we see in the sketches often translated into his films, such as touch of evil, which we are seeing here, which starred a great orson welles performance. a beautiful love letter to cinema. it is also very pretentious, which is what you want from mark cousins — i wouldn't want it any other way! very esoteric, but you also learn a whole lot about what cinema can do, how it connects to the world, the shapes and motifs it can trigger.
6:25 am
a real cineast‘s trove, as opening up that trove must have been for mark cousins, and finding clues to orson welles, what he calls his visual thinking. we often say that the eyes are the keys to the soul, but here they're sort of saying the paintings are the keys to orson welles' visual soul. he famously never finished films, orson welles, always arguing with the studios about money. what would he have made now of the internet and the free technology we have? he might have ended up finishing films. it is fascinating and absolutely beautiful and i loved every second, but again it is not for everyone. is this for everyone, the equalizer 2? do you remember the first one? it is well documented i'm not good with violence so thinking this is not really my territory! denzel, however, is an expert. i love denzel washington... i'd pay to see him read out the phone book, to be honest with you. the first one, i remember very little about it except that he worked in the american equivalent of bm). so he now has a job driving the american equivalent of uber, in boston, ferrying people around, but he also kind of rights wrongs — he is indeed the equalizer. but he perceives the moral rectitude of what he's doing. here he is, taking some revenge
6:26 am
and wrath out on some arrogant bankers who have mistreated one of his clients... how you doing? i'm the, ah, lift driver that you called to take home your girlfriend. not a girlfriend, man. 0h. credit card wasn't valid. come in. there you go. mm. pay yourself whatever, and give yourself a nice tip. thank you. you're not going to ask me if she got home ok? this is the point where usually i'd give you a chance to do the right thing — but not tonight. tonight i'm going to need your cameras, cellphones, anything you might have used to record what you did to her. you knocked on the wrong door tonight, pops. the central plot is to do with his cia... of course he is a former cia assassin working as a taxi driver. he comes out of retirement to help her and track down why she has been killed, and it goes right to the top, one of those conspiracies, except it doesn't and ends up
6:27 am
in a hurricane — there she is, melissa leo, she gets killed, and of course, who killed her? it ends up on the coast, for no reason at all. that said, it has denzel washington been really cool all the way through, so i sort of like that, a film about denzel washington. not his best, but still denzel. best out, you have chosen a film which, jason, made me feel about 95! laughter. me too, i have to say. this has been out a week and it came out on tuesday, unusually, because it is an unusual film. a little indie british comedy from the makers of the inbetweeners. the director, iain morris, and joe thomas is the star. and i think you could call it in—tense. see what i did there? reminded me why i would never want to camp at a festival. much as i love music, there is a line. yes, it's very messy, very funny, though, if you are of the right age group, which sometimes, guilty, iam. i was not, but all of the 19—year—old men i went to the screening
6:28 am
with were loving it. that is enough. and very nicely acted — choosing the positives. and dvd... if you're not going out to a tent or a festival, dvd, emily blunt, in a quiet place. post—apocalyptic film where if you make a sound the aliens who have invaded will come for you, so you have to be quiet and not say a word and get through it. her and her family sort of get through it. will they, won't they? she is also pregnant, giving birth, not something you want to do when there are aliens around . everybody i know who has seen it said it was absolutely gripping. again i'm a bit of a kick—in. yes, you can just about survive it — just don't scream. you have been warned! thank you very much. lovely to see you, jason, and that is it for this week. whatever you choose to watch, whatever you are brave enough for, have a good week. enjoy your cinema going. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast, with rachel burden and roger johnson.
6:29 am
good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: a 29—year—old man has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after a car hit people outside the houses of parliament on tuesday. salih khater, who was born in sudan and was living in birmingham, will appear before magistrates tomorrow. three people were injured when the car crashed into security barriers in westminster. indian rescuers in helicopters and boats have braved torrential rain to reach people stranded in floodwaters in the southern state of kerala. nearly 200 people have been killed in the past ten days, many in landslides, following the heaviest monsoon rains for a century. schools and community centres have been converted into relief camps for the hundreds of thousands of people who have been left homeless. of course, i mean, the problem is quite gigantic. so one thing about kerala
6:30 am
is adequate resources to tackle the problem. it's a huge population, with a large number of people affected. it will require a lot of support from outside nations, as well as corporations in india and individuals. and of course, the government has the onus to carry out a very vigorous relief and rehabilitation programme. the boss of the company responsible for the motorway bridge which collapsed in genoa on tuesday says he won't apologise ahead of an investigation into what happened. autostrade's chief executive, giovanni castellucci, said he was committed to finding the cause of the tragedy, which claimed 42 lives. he also said 500 million euros will be available to help the city, and outlined plans to rebuild the bridge within eight months. you apologise if you feel you are responsible. as i said before, i believe that the situation —
6:31 am
the technical situation is so complex that it is up to the, i mean, justice to understand what happened, and why, and under which conditions. we will do whatever we can to help justice to go fast and deep. a businessman who helped to found the fashion label superdry has donated £1 million to the campaign for a public vote on any final brexit deal. julian dunkerton said he was giving the money to the cross—party people's vote group because there was what he called a genuine chance to stop the process of leaving the eu. globalfigures have paid tribute to the former secretary general of the un, kofi annan, who has died aged 80. theresa may described him as a great leader and reformer, and barack obama said he never stopped in his pursuit of a better world. mr annan served two terms in the top job at the un and was awarded a nobel peace prize for his humanitarian work. a british paraglider has been killed
6:32 am
in a mid—air collision during a competition in macedonia. 54—year—old innes powell, who had decades of experience as an instructor and competitor, collided with a ukrainian competitor, who also died. the uk's new aircraft carrier, hms queen elizabeth, has set sail for the united states. the flagship left portsmouth yesterday evening. a pair of f—35 fighters will practice take—off and landings from the £3 billion carrier during her 11 weeks at sea. imagine returning to your car at the end of a work day only for it have disappeared down a sinkhole. this is what karen davies found after parking up at a castle in the brecon beacons. her her fiat panda had disappeared bonnet—first into a hole about 20 feet deep. the car was eventually winched to safety, and an investigation is underway to find out what caused the sinkhole. to the bad condition considering it
6:33 am
just fell down a whole. they are well built, obviously —— it doesn't look in bad condition. willis here with the sport. breaking news, who would have thought that jose mourinho breaking news, who would have thought thatjose mourinho has had a bit of a moan. let me show you some of the back pages. city are rich, but they can't buy class is the message from the manchester united manager. jose slams documentary. it is the theme across all of the papers. manchester city have this new £10 million documentary, and it is an eight part series. follows them, as a fly on the wall. exactly,
6:34 am
atjose mourinho not happy, he says they are disrespectful. there was a brouhaha they are disrespectful. there was a brouha ha at they are disrespectful. there was a brouhaha at old trafford, and they had these t—shirts, as well, saying we did it on derby day. he has had a bit of a tongue in cheek... he must have known the cameras were around. he knew what was going on. he said, tongue in cheek i want royalties for this. he said if you give me one of those t—shirts i will drop the claim about royalties. a film crew was given behind—the—scenes access for an eight—part series about city, and mourinho said that although he hadn't seen it, he had heard a lot about it. he says that, because he was in the film, he could ask for royalties. what a match we had at stamford bridge. chelsea beat arsenal 3—2, a win in maurizio sarri's first home game. and across london, there was first premier league goal in august for harry kane.
6:35 am
joe lynskey rounds up the action. the premier league landscape is always shifting. new faces bring in the new eras. but he inherits an arsenal side who have long forgotten how to win titles. all the new ideas, their defence is a familiar picture. from 2-0 defence is a familiar picture. from 2—0 down, they did show some backbone. this brought them level, but arsenal's flashes of brilliance turn out to be just that. over 90 minutes, they slip away. alonso, 3-2. great entertainment but not a great start for arsenal. 3-2. great entertainment but not a great start for arsenallj 3-2. great entertainment but not a great start for arsenal. i think it is not a good start, but the process of the 90 minutes, and the process of the 90 minutes, and the process of this team continue. across north london, the project is further down the line. spurs have the exact same squad as last season, but through a world cup summer they have grown in
6:36 am
stature. trippier‘s freekick right back moscow memories. his right foot‘s reputation has been honoured in his hometown. in bury, stardom comes with your own parking space. and as those found a way through full‘s defence, his england team—mate reversed the trend. full‘s defence, his england team-mate reversed the trend. he has finally got the goal in august. and that statistical oddity comes to an end. it was a mixed day for the nation's strikers. while kane celebrated, jamie vardy‘s day was cut short. luckily for leicester, another english talent had done the groundwork. £25 million this summer got them james maddison. he stands by his pricetag. i will always back myself, you know. i am loving the opportunity that leicester are giving me. iwill take opportunity that leicester are giving me. i will take that all in my stride and keep pushing on, yes. newcastle's fans might well have held their breath, a penalty in the 95th minute, but kennedy's effort
6:37 am
was summed up best by his manager. we know that was a penalty. 0-0 draw meant a first point of the season for cardiff city. when you arrive in this league, every landmark is significant. as arsenal look for their first significant. as arsenal look for theirfirst win, their significant. as arsenal look for their first win, their new era has their first win, their new era has the same problems. there were also wins for bournemouth and everton, and celtic are into the quarter—finals of the scottish league cup. they have had successive defeats under brendan rodgers, for the first time, but they beat championship side partick thistle 3—1. ben stokes made his return to the england test side after being aquitted of affray this week. england need quick wickets this morning when india resume at trent bridge on 307—6, after a good first day for the tourists in the third test, as patrick gearey reports. few cricketers will ever have a week like ben stokes has had. from the trial to the test in four days, this was trent bridge's welcome back. if that was mixed, then so was his first bowling spell.
6:38 am
the occasional edge and accidental barge all pretty innocuous. but england have another all—rounder — not stokes, but chris woakes, who coaxed the first wicket, shikhar dhawan gone. next over he removed the other opener, kl rahul. england's man of the match in the last test had worked so hard for those two, he deserved a bonus. it came when cheteshwar pujara got greedy and ruined his lunch. three for england, three for woakes. but, after the interval, look at the changing colour on screen — brighter, and that tends to mean better for batting. virat kohli prospered for a session in the sun. he went to 50, and importantly for india, this time ajinkya rahane came with him. they put on 150 and looked so settled that the game hit a lull. with india dominant, attention can drift to the next page. not alastair cook's. that catch to dismiss ajinkya rahane was at more than 80 mph —
6:39 am
it looks tough enough in slow motion. still, virat kohli was set for a century until, on 97, adil rashid bowled him a cracker. guess who took the catch — yes, ben stokes. even his quiet days are not that quiet. patrick gearey, bbc news. it has been confirmed that tyson fury will fight the amercian deontay wilder for the wbc heavyweight title, after his latest victory last night. fury beat the italian francesco pianeta on points in belfast in what was only his second fight back after almost three years away from the ring. the wilder fight is likely to be in las vegas at the end of this year. the fight hasn't happened yet, but one thing i do know is i have been to america for, i beat another player in new york and frank sinatra says if you can meet maker that, you can make it anywhere. don't worry about that. top of the bill in belfast was carl frampton, who will have a shot at the ibf world featherweight title after stopping australia's luke jackson in the ninth round. that made safe the interim wbo

crown, and he is now mandatory challenger to the full champion oscar valdez, though he'll take onjosh warrington for that ibf title first. she starred at the european championships last week, but dina asher—smith says she just wants to sleep after coming second in the 200 metres at the birmingham grand prix. she won triple gold in berlin but was beaten by shaunae miller—uibo of the bahamas last night. she has a week or so to rest now, before the next race in zurich. obviously i want to come out and put ona obviously i want to come out and put on a good race in front of a home crowd. i am sorry, i'm so tired. but the race was such high—calibre, it like being in an olympic finals. i am really happy i finished the race. i was like, good, go back and sleep! but obviously i was going to come out and do my best, and i did that today. mark johnston has equalled
6:41 am
the all—time record number of british winners for a racehorse trainer. dr richard kimble won at ripon to givejohnston victory number 11,193, reaching the mark set by richard hannon sr. johnston trained his first winner back in 1987 and his victories have earned £53 million in prize money. he has a chance to break the record today. when single mum emma took her three—year—old, terminally ill son to hospital for an appointment she parked in a disabled bay, clearly showing her blue badge in the window. when she returned to her car, she found an abusive note accusing her of lying about his disability. emma joined me earlier and explained what happened. we came back to the car and i found a note on the window screen, and it stated that i was conning, and
6:42 am
obviously it was a very angry statement. at first i thought i hadn't put the blue badge on the window, and it was my fault. and then obviously the blue badge was in there. first reaction, i was quite angry at first, but then i get really upset, and i think it was only because i got more upset because of where it was. if it happened at a supermarket was something i don't think i would have been as upset, but because it happened at the children's hospital, and there is sometimes you feel you belong, and people understand situations a bit as when they are there as well. it was different because it happened at the hospital, which feels like safe ground. what is striking about this is the hostility in the note, which i think a lot of people, when you share that, found really upsetting. also, this person knows nothing about you, nothing about your life. no. and nothing about your life. no. and nothing about your life. no. and nothing about bobby. and tell us about bobby and what he has been through. so bobby at six years old
6:43 am
went under his first open heart surgery. he spent his first full month in hospital. extraordinary, the idea that you should be entitled toa the idea that you should be entitled to a helping hand that meant you could carry him into hospital. yes, things like that, because he was fully paralysed. he had two strokes while he was in intensive care. and what reaction did you get from people when you posted that no?- what reaction did you get from people when you posted that no? at i think it is the same as me, it was quite angry at first. everybody is a lwa ys quite angry at first. everybody is always behind bobby and me, and i think everyone is quite angry at the fa cts , think everyone is quite angry at the facts, because everybody knows about bobby where i am. so they were saying that shouldn't have happened. ican saying that shouldn't have happened. i can see it, like, he was paralysed but he is walking again, so it was a back race because he has a spine condition, but you can't see all of that under his clothes. condition, but you can't see all of that under his clotheslj condition, but you can't see all of that under his clothes. i mean, you don't need to expand it. and i shouldn't, that is what i was saying, and i think everyone was quite angry, i was quite angry myself, but i didn't want this person to feel the way that i did
6:44 am
either, because it was probably they we re either, because it was probably they were having a bad day. so was i, so was of body else. ijust think, no, the amount of messages and stories i have heard of other people contacting me, ithink have heard of other people contacting me, i think i have heard of other people contacting me, ithink i have have heard of other people contacting me, i think i have got off really lightly, to be honest. it just needs to stop. it is just dissemination. you are looking at somebody and judging them, saying they are not disabled. and there are so many invisible disabilities, and nobody should ever have to tell somebody what is wrong with them, or why they have got a blue badge. you just shouldn't have to know. if you've got one, you've got one. and that's just how it is. you should never question it. that was emma talking to us a little earlier. while the interview is on, we were talking about it. you get it with pa rent talking about it. you get it with parent and toddler spaces at the supermarket. people might have a problem at home. we were talking
6:45 am
about parking etiquette yesterday but the definition of people who will be eligible to expanding. people have children with autism. also entitled. you cannot rush to make thatjudgement. as you said, disability is not always visible. let us look at the weather. looking a bit grey there. not you, obviously. more of the same, really. if you're looking for sunshine, it will be in short supply. a lot of cloud once again, very humid, rain around this morning. quite heavy overnight. continuing for a time overnight. continuing for a time over southern and eastern parts of scotland. and further south, we are going to keep a lot of cloud. that will bring drizzle at times. for
6:46 am
that rain will start to ease away. probably the best the sunshine across northern parts of scotland. a fairly cloudy, humid day. not quite as windy as it was yesterday. still, as windy as it was yesterday. still, a noticeable breeze for much of england and wales. this afternoon, temperatures in the best of any brea ks temperatures in the best of any breaks getting up to 2a, 20 five celsius. we can't rule out the spot of rain at bridge today. for much of the day, mainly dry. overnight, fairly quiet. mostly dry. some patchy mist, low cloud. a bit of drizzle over higher ground. those here between 13 and 17 celsius. a slightly fresher feel. on here between 13 and 17 celsius. a slightly fresherfeel. on into here between 13 and 17 celsius. a slightly fresher feel. on into the new week. the isobars are a bit more
6:47 am
widely spaced apart. the winds will be much lighter on monday. that will generate some showers. it looks like the distribution of showers further southwards, some parts of scotland will escape with a mainly dry day. a few filtering away down across england and wales. most will have a mainly dry day. a lot of cloud around. some sunny spells which will help temperatures up to 2a, 20 five celsius. quite a few showers around across parts of scotland and northern ireland. a bit further south and east. much of england and wales, a scattering of showers, mainly dry with spells of sunshine. feeling very warm and humid. a quick look at the week ahead. some sunny spells and turning pressure from the

north. teasing is with a look ahead to the bank holiday weekend. we'll have all the headlines at seven, but first it's time for the travel show. this is japan's most northerly main island of hokkaido. for decades, travellers have been drawn here by its stark contrast to the rest of the country. it's anotherjapan, one that is wild, challenging and remote... it's an incredible experience! ..with distinctive communities. i've come to meet them, and to find out more about the country's northern frontier. so, if you look out to where i'm heading, that is japan's
6:49 am
most northerly point. but on the other side, just a0 kilometres from the japanese coastline, is the great landmass russia. now, that is important, because it was russia expanding eastwards that led to japan, 150 years ago next year, to annex that island and give it the name hokkaido. the island isn't small. it is around one fifth of japan's total land mass, but nearly a century and a half after the move to fully populate hokkaido, still only around 4% of japan's people live here. when the japanese came to colonise hokkaido,
6:50 am
they sent former samurai with a mission to cultivate the island. that is one of the distinct ways it has developed: miles upon miles of beautiful landscapes. one way to get close to nature as a traveller would be to hike. but there is another uniquely japanese way. this is mochi pounding. what might look like hitting rice as hard as you can with a mallet until it turns squidgy is a highly refined process to make a sweet known as mochi. i'm about to have a lesson from a real expert as to how to be a proper pounder. ok, so i have to be honest with you, this is extremely heavy. hokkaido's climate is perfect for developing the sticky rice needed for mochi. the region has become
6:51 am
the biggest producer injapan. every year here, local farmers hold a competition to find the best mochi pounders. how do you become a good mochi pounder like you? here we go. mash it. how does hokkaido rate in terms of its mochi? now then, this is where he risks the use of his hands for the rest of his life. now then, this is where he risks the use of his hands for the rest of his life. now then, this is where he risks the use of his hands for the rest of his life. now then, this is where he risks the use of his hands for the rest of his life.
6:52 am
one! and, after all that exertion, it's time for a well—earned rest. i'm heading south, where my trip comes to an end in hokkaido's main city of sapporo. it is a fitting place to finish the trip around hokkaido, because here in sapporo, they are hosting a dance festival, that pays homage to the whole island's connection to the sea. just down there is where the festival takes place. yosakoi soran is one of the biggest
6:53 am
international dancing competitions. teams dance to music inspired by the hokkaido folksong soran. traditionally this folksong was about fishermen. and one of the teams here with their own take on this dance is the russians. interesting, considering the history between the two nations.
6:54 am
hats off to them. really good. i'd arranged to meet someone who had taken part in this festival many times, since she was a child. but finding one person among 30,000 others was proving a little trickier than i expected. so you are a veteran of this festival. you can teach me about all of this. 0k... so tell me — what makes this festival unique? the yosakoi soran festival is in hokkaido. it has two rules. every team, every dancer has this naruko. second rule isjust soran music. so you're saying that, even though it might be a bit different, and there is dancing,
6:55 am
and everything, inside each one, there is the same melody. yes, yes, yes. how does it go? # soran, soran. ..# and while it's something that clearly takes a lot of practice, i'm told that in my case, an hour should do it. very happy. 0k. a very public training session for newbies like me will be
6:56 am
followed by a chance to take part in the main festival parade around the streets of the city. as the festival comes to a dramatic close, my time in hokkaido finishes in what feels like a world away from where it started. i found a place that in a short time has in a short time adopted so much of japanese culture, but within that has found its own way of expressing itself. who knows what the next 150 years might bring to this unique japanese island. well, check that out. i mean, that is an act. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with rachel burden and roger
