the fashion label superdry has donated a million pounds 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. our political correspondent susana mendonca is in our london newsroom — how significant is this donation? will it make a difference to bring about a vote like this?” will it make a difference to bring about a vote like this? i think what it will do for the campaign itself is give it the opportunity to spend more money on opinion polling and get more support, cross—party support, across mps for this campaign ahead of the mps vote. mps will get to vote on that final deal in the autumn. in terms of actually getting a referendum for the public to vote on a final deal, that seems unlikely as the government have already said there will not be a second referendum. in terms of it happening, legislation will have to pass through parliament. it seems unlikely but it is a boost to the campaign in terms of its ability to
8:08 am
raise awareness. at the same time negotiations are continuing with the eu and this week we expect the brexit secretary to go to brussels to continue talks. he will be giving a speech later in the week in westminster, where he will outline plans for a no deal and we are expecting the first of those documents the government has been promising, outlining what businesses and people should do if a no deal at the end of end of all of this. 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 practise take—off and landings from the 3—billion pound carrier during her 11 weeks at sea. the indian government has pledged to provide further support and military assistance to those affected by extreme flooding across the southern state of kerala. nearly 200 people have died in the region in the last ten days, 300,000 have

opportunity to give back and have fun. there's a disconnect at times where you see the sports people on tv that you never get to meet them. it is one of those brilliant projects that is generally run by the people for the good of the people. there is no ulterior motive or profit but it means it has taken off and its worldwide now. i mentioned the other day i did the goalie park one this summer in russia. people love to rank up there international ones, the tourism ones? it's a massive entity in its own right, it's incredible to see. some people take it really seriously, you can go for a good time and others go to hang out and walk it back. that is something i will be doing! five, tours is a long way! what is your time? i've never had one. being a longjumper i only

with sean fletcher and cherry healey is on bbc one at 10.25. sean and cherry, what do you have on the programme today? good morning. coming up, disney‘s first openly gay major character will be played by a straight actor. is this discrimination. and it takes some ceosjust three days is this discrimination. and it takes some ceos just three days to earn what other workers earn in a year. some salaries and ethical? and we meet the master craftsman who has never seen any of his work. join us at10:25am. never seen any of his work. join us at 10:25am. thank you. it‘s fast, furious and not for the faint hearted. drift racing — or sliding your car round a bend at 90 degrees while driving at 60 miles per hour — is the latest adrenaline—pumping road sport getting british motorheads hot under the hood. it is important to note it is a road sport but not to be done by anybody not in controlled conditions. today liverpool‘s dockside plays host to the world‘s finest drift racers as they take to the city‘s streets.
8:42 am
ricky boletto‘s there to give us a steer on what it‘s all about. maybe an oversteer! yes, good morning to you. it has just started raining here which is a show that i don‘t think it will affect the drivers. they are always driving all over the place anyway. if burning rubber and smoking engines and loud noises is your thing, then this event will be right up your street. that is because it has taken over the city of liverpool. the red bull drift shifted event is usually held in new zealand and for the first time it is being held in the uk because drift racing is getting more popular in britain. this is where the drivers will be starting behind me. they will be shooting their way through the mersey tunnel they‘re just like in the film fast and furious six. places where they filmed part of it. and they will be heading through this circuit which was erected over the weekend. the point of the race is to get as close
8:43 am
as you can to the bends and to skate through sideways, and you get more points the better you do. we will be finding out who the drivers are in a bit but if you are still unsure what drift racing is, take a look at this. iamjoined i am joined now by one of the creators of this event, mad mike. it is great to talk to you. you from new zealand originally and you have brought the competition to the uk. why? man, for me, the whole event was a dream to create, red bull driftshifters, and to bring motorsports to the mainstream and the heart of the cities. add showcase drifting. liverpool have a huge fan base and we have a festival of speed in chichester and we have grown a massive fan base in the uk. this report from liverpool council has been absolutely unreal. we did a site to check last year straight after goodwood, and we just saw this place and the backdrop is just
8:44 am
perfect and there is no better place. will the rain affect how you drive? it makes it much more slippery. we won't need to worry about the whereon the tyres, but sit up about the whereon the tyres, but sit up will change in the cars to change the grid. as much as drifting looks like sliding around, we want as much grip as possible to maintain the control and speed and we are judged on speed, angle and style. we want to have that control so we can get the proximity sensors. you have described the circuit as a giant pinball machine. drifting in general isa pinball machine. drifting in general is a judged motorsport, so like anything, boxing, gymnastics, and i
8:45 am
came from freestyle motocross, adjudged sport. so human error, politics, that comes with anyjudged sport, so i want to create drifting with nojudges. as a driver you are judged 100% legitimately on what you are doing. but as a spectator you can understand because you don‘t need to know what the judges are looking for because the course is thejudge. there are looking for because the course is the judge. there are sound effects. it is in real time and there is a countdown and it is really simple. we arejust going countdown and it is really simple. we are just going to speak to mad mike‘s engineer and get into the car. not much room and nowhere for the shopping. tell us a bit more about the car. the brakes are important. what kind are they? we run important. what kind are they? we ru n forward important. what kind are they? we run forward brakes, front and rear. and we have a hand brake system for the rear. they use this lever to initiate the drift. and what about the tyres? how often do you have to change them? it depends on the circuit. a lot of the time, a couple of corners and you will go through a set of tyres. is there anywhere to put the shopping in here? possibly a little bit of room at the back. thanks, gareth, for chatting to us.
8:46 am
follow me over here. good to talk to you, mad mike. thank you. and now! am joined by abdo, who broke a world record when it comes to shifting. am joined by abdo, who broke a world record when it comes to shiftingm was the world‘s longest drift for the guinness book of records, back in 2013. i came up with the idea of doing that, and i am now sponsored. it is called drifting, like red bull driftshifters but without the sensors. while i was doing that, people kept asking me what was next. isaid people kept asking me what was next. i said let‘s break the guinness book of records for the world‘s longest drift so we doubled it in 2013. you doubled its! have you ever been injured doing this? never in my whole life. i am a riley driver and it is dangerous. —— rally driver. we don‘t have that much speed. i once did a rally race in 2003, inside the
8:47 am
forest, and it is so wet. we have big valleys, trees everywhere, and thatis big valleys, trees everywhere, and that is dangerous. doing 100 mph, and you hit something. but here there is speed, but it doesn‘t go above 90 or 80 kilometres per hour, something like 45 mph. there are not dangerous obstacles happening here. best of luck with the competition, abdo. 5000 people are expected to visit this event today. it is going to be pretty exciting. we can expect to be pretty exciting. we can expect to see one of these guys winning. there are 12 drivers taking part. a lot of burning rubber. it will be quite a sight. the people in liverpool are excited to get involved and get down here and see some of the action. thank you, ricky. and how is the weather looking today? nice to hear from ricky. and how is the weather looking today? nice to hearfrom mad mike. i thought he worked on this programme! drift racing is probably the one thing he has never done. now
8:48 am
how is the weather looking? good morning, rachel and roger. how is the weather looking? good morning, racheland roger. some rain in liverpool left over from what we saw overnight but it is clearing eastwards and there is a slowly improving picture but generally a lot of cloud around again this morning. still some outbreaks of rain, not here in northamptonshire but across scotland and northern england, clearing after the east. the cloudy and humid day for most of us the cloudy and humid day for most of us with some sunny spells. the rain has been closed to liverpool and it is now clear of northern ireland and working off to the east and fizzling out as it does. gradually turning drierfrom the out as it does. gradually turning drier from the west. if you have rain around at the moment it should turn try through the morning. large amounts of cloud throughout the day which could provide some showers. most which could provide some showers. m ost pla ces which could provide some showers. most places having a fairly dry afternoon with brighter spells coming through at times and where we see temperatures shooting at 224 or 25 -- see temperatures shooting at 224 or 25 —— shooting up to 24.
8:49 am
temperatures will ease generally. about 16 for scotland at 21 from northern ireland and 24 for england and wales and maybe 25 in the best of the sunshine. we can‘t rule out the odd spot of rain in trent bridge for today but it should be largely dry. lots of cloud but possibly some bright and sunny spells this afternoon. good evening and overnight, the winds will be liked and some breaks in the cloud. misty and some breaks in the cloud. misty and murky conditions along western and murky conditions along western and southern coasts. very humid night across england and wales. the overnight low temperature 14 but cooler in scotland and northern ireland. on monday the isobars are wide apart, meaning by tomorrow the winds will be light across the uk. we have got a weather front close by generating showery rain on and off throughout the day, mainly in southern parts of scotland, into northern ireland and northern england, and some showers in wales and the midlands. but for many, many
8:50 am
dry day with a lot of cloud. it will break up to see some sunshine. areas with sunshine will get up to 25, like east anglia and south—east england. showers around for scotland and north east england on tuesday, becoming persistent for a time. further south and east, fewer showers and drier with more sunshine on tuesday. we could see temperatures up to between 24 and 26, so holding on the warmth and humidity across much of england and wales and northern ireland. for the first couple of days of the week ahead, cloudy and humid with some sunny spells and a scattering of showers. the fresh air that we have got across scotland will slowly sink down towards all of us throughout the week. so despite sunshine for many temperatures will be around 20 or 21. thank you so much for all of that. we are going to talk about rewarding in a minute.
8:51 am
—— hoarding. it‘s more than 50 years since the hydroplane bluebird crashed on coniston water during an attempt to break the water speed record. her driver donald campbell died. the craft has now been restored to her original state with the addition of a brand new engine but there is some dispute about what will happen to her now. gerry jackson reports. bluebird on the wing. a thrilling sight for everyone who longed to see her doing this again after more than 51 years. but for some observers back in cumbria, this was a bittersweet occasion. because it was here at coniston where donald campbell had broken four world water speed records and died trying to set a fifth, that everyone had expected this first new and very symbolic jet powered run to take place. the bluebird team of volunteers led by bill smith has spent more than a decade painstakingly restoring her. but he couldn‘t agree with the authorities on the terms of running bluebird on coniston.
8:52 am
loch fad on the isle of bute had that honour instead. but at five miles long, coniston is much bigger and busier. we‘ve changed the bylaws to allow bluebird to run on coniston but we need a safety plan submitting to us to make sure it happens in a safe manner. anyone who can get to water can use it. sailing craft, ferries, power boaters. if we didn‘t manage that, it would be a bit like running an f1 car through a market town on a saturday afternoon. the bluebird project believes safety measures are at least as much the responsibility of the local authorities. down the road, the village‘s ruskin museum has had a special extension ready and waiting for bluebird for the last ten years. but after her success in scotland, there‘s fresh talk of taking her to wider audiences, perhaps worldwide ones. do you stick her in a museum or do you keep it alive? this is a living, breathing piece of history. if it‘s going to be in a museum, that should just be now and
8:53 am
again between runs, between events, between whatever it does. it would be great if the public can come along and have a look but the museum part has to be just between gigs. months ago i was thinking she would become a museum piece. no. no! she's not ready to sit in a crusty old museum, is she? she just sat there and said, "look at me. i'm the most beautiful thing in the world." after 34 years lost in coniston, donald campbell was finally buried here in the village. the community regards this as his and bluebird‘s spiritual home. the thought that she might spend much of her future away from here will be unwelcome to some. i think i was expecting bluebird to come here. i‘ve been looking forward to it for decades. it‘s a stunning piece of engineering and that should be celebrated. there‘s no better place than here. bluebird‘s welcome in scotland is an indication of the rapturous reception she could expect anywhere she goes.
8:54 am
where she might appear next is concentrating a few minds. gerry jackson, bbc news, coniston in cumbria. a beautiful thing to watch in the water. around 5% of people in the uk are excessive hoarders and for the first time it is being recognised as a medical disorder by the world health organization. campaigners and psychiatrists say the move will help understanding of the condition and combat stigma. joining us now in the studio is stephanie evans, a former hoarder, and from our dunstable studio, consultant psychiatrist cosmo hallstrom. thank you both for talking to us. stefanie, first of all, how did it become a problem for you?” stefanie, first of all, how did it become a problem for you? i think it started more after my daughter was born and i separated from my husband. we moved to a new home and either became so upset by things
8:55 am
that i started holding onto things and acquiring more. and before i knew it, things were mounting up and i couldn‘t use my home as i wanted to. it‘s changed completely how i felt about it. to outsiders looking at the pictures that you had them, people would think the home is just full of clutter. but to the person who is hoarding them, they are all mementos and they are all important. yes, you see stuff as more important than other things around you, people. it puts you off going out somewhere because you feel you have got to deal with it or invite anybody to your home. this is your house that we are seeing here and your daughter got to the point where she didn‘t want people to come back to the house. she kept her own space
8:56 am
is very clear and tidy and it was on her instigation that she encouraged you to get help and support. and i think she really helped you. yes, she did. ijoined a support group that she found for me that had just started. i go once a month. in birmingham. it was run by heather and pip. it made all the difference for you? through meeting them and the other people that were suffering as well, it really made the big difference to how i felt about the things around me. can i ask cosmo, the consultant psychiatrist, what tipped it over from the consultant psychiatrist, what tipped it overfrom being a bad habit into a medical condition?” think when it causes distress to the individual and to people around them, when it limits your life, when it gives rise to symptoms, then it
8:57 am
becomes an impairment. the medical condition. we identify with hoarding, one of the reasons we find it so interesting is because many people have traits of it within themselves, which is normal, but when it becomes severe, dominate your life, causing significant problems to yourself and others, it becomes a disorder. thank you so much. we are really tight for time this morning. we are very grateful for your insight and to stephanie for your insight and to stephanie for sharing your experiences. thank you. that is it from both of us today. dan and louise will be back here on bbc one tomorrow from six o‘clock. have a lovely day. thank you for watching. goodbye. this is bbc news, i‘m ben brown. the headlines at 9: a man has been charged with attempted murder after a car crashed outside the houses of parliament earlier this week. the incident is being treated as a terrorist attack. india‘s military intensifies its rescue operations in the flood—hit southern
