falling into step with scotland and wales — women in england will soon be allowed to take abortion pills in their own homes. holidaymakers arrive home after being flown back early from an egyptian hotel following the unexplained deaths of a british couple. it's just sad that these two people have died, in whichever circumstances they've died. and no—one can be sure. it's all speculation right now. good morning, and in sport.... manchester united manager jose mourinho insists he has "no problem" with his boss ed woodward — amid reports of a falling out between the pair. no surprise that may bank holiday weekend we have got some on the way. it is tomorrow that is going to be the wet day of the two. it's saturday the 25th of august. our top story... pope francis will arrive in dublin later this morning, the first papal visit to ireland in almost a0 years. his two—day tour comes as the catholic church is facing criticism of its handling of child

abuse by priests, dating back decades. hundreds of thousands of people are expected to listen to him speak. emma vardy is in dublin for us this morning. there is a lot of hype around this visit, and such a long time since a pub last visited ireland. what are we expecting today? —— pope. pub last visited ireland. what are we expecting today? -- pope. huge anticipation ahead of this visit. the plane took off from rome in the last hour and will land in dublin about 10.30 this morning. around half a million, about 10.30 this morning. around halfa million, if about 10.30 this morning. around half a million, if not more people, are expected seedy pope over the weekend. he has a packed schedule, attended a series of events, and that will culminate in a mass at phoenix park. ireland is a very different place from the one that was last visited by the pope a0 yea rs was last visited by the pope a0 years ago. a huge social revolution

has taken place. back then, the catholic church dominated almost every area of life. homosexuality, divorce, contraception, they were all illegal. 0f divorce, contraception, they were all illegal. of course, that is such all illegal. of course, that is such a different picture today. two referendums in recent years have decriminalised same—sex marriage and abortion, there have been such huge changes in social attitudes since the last pa pal visit. changes in social attitudes since the last papal visit. a lot of the debate around pope francis visiting this time has been overshadowed by recent scandals in the catholic church. not least, of course, the sexual abuse of children by catholic priests. that is one issue in particular that the pope is expected to address during his visit over the weekend. he is also going to be meeting with the survivors of clerical sexual abuse, says the vatican, at some point over the next few days. the reception he gets will really be a mark ofjust how much hold the catholic church still has over the irish population here. there are expected to be many people

lining the streets of dublin this afternoon. that is when the pope repeal will make its first appearance, people's first chance to seedy pope as he travels through the of dublin —— to see the pope as he travels through the centre of dublin. then we will get to see him speak. the first holidaymakers to be flown back early from the egyptian hotel where a british couple died in have arrived home. john and susan cooper from burnley were staying at the steigenberger aqua magic hotel in hurghada. thomas cook said the circumstances of the unexplained deaths remained unclear. the couple's daughter, who was also staying in the hotel, says she believes her parents‘ deaths are suspicious. matt cole reports. they should still be enjoying sandy beaches and luxury pools, but holiday—makers have chosen the safety of a wet bank holiday weekend in britain over the uncertainty surrounding their luxury hotel in hurghada. when you find out at 10pm—10:30pm at night that two people

have died two days ago, and nobody knows why. if they'd been open and transparent, i wouldn't have got on that plane. some people were quite irate and upset because they didn't have answers, instant answers, and you can't give instant answers because it's speculation. thomas cook did what they could. no—one had said a word until thursday. but it is a bit scary. the decision to evacuate all thomas cook customers from the aqua magic hotel followed the deaths ofjohn and susan cooper. they were on holiday with their daughter, who found them unwell in their room on tuesday. both later died. the family believes something about their deaths at this five—star resort doesn't add up. preliminary findings by the egyptian authorities suggest the couple died of natural causes. thomas cook says there had been reports of raised levels of illness amongst guests, but that's disputed by the hotel. in hurghada, it's understood the public prosecution office is investigating and officials have told the bbc it's likely to report

within the next week or ten days. matt cole, bbc news. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has defended comments he made about "zionists" five years ago, when he was a backbencher. a conservative mp has reported his comments to the parliamentary standards watchdog. let's get more detail from our political correspondent, tom barton who is in our london newsroom. good morning. it has been five years since he made these comments, but the disdain over them has still stuck around ? the disdain over them has still stuck around? that is absolutely right. for months, jeremy corbyn has been facing criticism over the way that the labour party has dealt with complaints of anti—semitism. now he is being forced to defend his own use of language after that speech in 2013, where he said that british zionists, many of whom would have lived in this country for a very long time, probably all of their

lives, he said they didn't understand english irony. he was talking in particular about a group of pro—israel campaigners who he said had berated the palestinian representative to the uk after a speech that he made in westminster. however, several labour mps, including the jewish however, several labour mps, including thejewish labour however, several labour mps, including the jewish labour mp luciano burge, have criticised the comments, saying they were inexcusable. jeremy corbyn published a statement in which he said he had used the term and zionists in its accurate political sense, not as a euphemism forjewish people. he also says he is more careful with how he uses says he is more careful with how he uses that term, because he says the word zionist has now been hijacked by anti—semites as code forjew s. president trump has cancelled next

week's planned trip to north korea by his secretary of state, mike pompeo. mr trump said not enough progress had been made in dismantling pyongyang's nuclear programme. david willis has the details. reporter: mr president, what about the meeting with north korea, sir? capping a tumultuous week at home, donald trump is now facing a major setback involving a key area of foreign policy. following what he described as a historically successful summit with the north korean leader, kim jong—un, in singapore earlier this year, plans were announced for the secretary of state to revisit north korea this weekend only for those plans to be scrapped 2a hours later. finally it's dawned on donald trump that perhaps the nuclear problem with north korea is not over. and so i think what he has done in his mind is say we've done our part but somehow china's not doing its part, why is china not doing its part? because they're in a trade war with us, so we'll get the trade war

over and then we'll get going with this. in singapore, mr trump said the nuclear threat from north korea was now over, but the agreement reached between the two men was vague and mr kim has shown little willingness since to dismantle his nuclear arsenal. previous administrations have fallen victim to foot—dragging on the part of the north koreans. for all the bonding that took place in singapore, the path to denuclearisation on the korean peninsula may be longer and bumpier than president trump predicted. david willis, bbc news, washington. women in england will be allowed to take an early abortion pill at home, under a department of health plan due to take effect by the end of the year. last month, the government was criticised as being "out of step" — as the practice is already allowed in scotland and wales. chi chi izunda reports. under the current law in england, women who want to end their pregnancy before ten weeks have to take two pills up to a8

hours apart and at a clinic. but critics say two separate visits to a medical facility can be challenging to organise and are often traumatic, as some women can experience bleeding and cramping on their way home. it was so traumatic and so unexpected. the pain and nausea was so extreme that i had to get off the tube. is i lay down on the bench and basicallyjust decided that i wasn't going to move any further. it's that distress that the government wants to avoid women suffering. the department of health says by the end of this year, it will allow women to take the second pill in the familiar surroundings of their own home. around 180,000 women have an abortion each year in england, and four in five of those are early medical terminations. this move has been widely welcomed, with the british pregnancy advisory service calling this decision and outbreak of common sense.

we're absolutely delighted that this has come into place. this is a way in which girls and women can access the second part, or the second pills in their early medical abortion in a safe, effective and compassionate way. it also means england falls in line with wales, who allow women to take the second pill at home from june, and scotland, which made the change last year. while in northern ireland, abortion is still illegal unless there's serious risk to a woman's health or life. chi chi izunda, bbc news. the hurricane heading towards hawaii has been down—graded to a category one storm — but is still expected to bring disruption. hurricane lane has already caused flash flooding and landslides around the islands — and is now sustaining winds of 70 miles an hour. the national weather service forecaster says it is expecting the storm to weaken, but the authorities have plans in place in case there are still problems. the first of a new series of rail strikes on northern has begun,

as part of the dispute about the role of guards on trains. members of the rmt union are set to walk out for six consecutive saturdays. northern has said it will operate around 30% of its usual services, with buses replacing some trains. that brings you up—to—date with the main stories. after being imprisoned in an iranian jail in 2016 on spying charges that she denies, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was this week granted temporary freedom. in the last two days she's been reunited with her four year—old daughter, now herfamily and legal team are attempting to extend her release which is due to end tomorrow. her husband, richard ratcliffe, joins us now from our edinburgh studio. good morning. lovely to have you back on the programme. a smile today, at least she has had a couple

of days of freedom? has been a couple of good days, a magical day on thursday and a good day yesterday. as you say, we are getting a bit more nervous because she has to get back to prison tomorrow. but it was a good experience. i wonder if you could tell us how this three—day freedom pass came about? in some ways i don't really know. we have promises for a while, for the best part of a year, that didn't really lead anywhere. we heard noises a couple of weeks ago, and then she was told you have ten minutes to get dressed and she was sent out the door. she wasn't allowed to call anybody, she had to borrow a phone from somebody in the street and call her mother. herfamily have in the street and call her mother. her family have been called and they came to pick her up and she called me from the car with a big grin on

herface. as the me from the car with a big grin on her face. as the first time i've seen her face. as the first time i've seen her in two years, so it was lovely to see her looking so well and happy. big grins on ourfaces. there are some restrictions that have been placed on nazanin, can you explain knows? it is twofold, she is not allowed to do media interviews 01’ not allowed to do media interviews orany not allowed to do media interviews or any media activity. she's not allowed to go to the british embassy 01’ allowed to go to the british embassy orany allowed to go to the british embassy or any other embassy. she is not allowed to leave the country, including going to an embassy. those are two things and why she is not on camera at the moment. but we are hoping that they will extend it. it is three days at the moment. her lawyer is, as we speak, trying to find out what is happening. we haven't heard yet. hopefully it will be extended and we will certainly keep the rules in place until it is clear what is going on. the last timei clear what is going on. the last time i spoke to you you on the sofa, borisjohnson was time i spoke to you you on the sofa, boris johnson was foreign time i spoke to you you on the sofa, borisjohnson was foreign secretary and it was very much hope that he would have some sway with the

authorities. jeremy hunt has been very vocal as well. do you think it has made a difference? i'm very pleased, i think the foreign secretary made lots of efforts and went to iran, and i am thankfulfor all of his efforts. it is clear we have had a fresh start with a new foreign secretary. he's been very strong on the words he has sent out and been very clear privately to others. it has felt he has genuinely cared and really has done what he could. whether it is what he has done, whether his charm, she has come out of prison. you have not been to around to see nazanin, why is that? i still can't get a visa. the last time i tried was about three weeks ago. i haven't tried since she was released. i will wait to see what happens today, the extensions. for the past year and a half i have been pushing for a visa. i've not been refused, just not granted one. how helpful to you that some progress will be made? you are

nervous as the third day of freedom approaches, third and final day, officially? we had a big step two days ago. i was pleased that the iranian ambassador to london tweeted a picture of her being released, which i took as a very good sign. fingers crossed, i'm hopeful. until we get the call to say, yes, as the day goes on and we don't hear, we will get more nervous. i think it has always been steps forward and steps back. we should not get too heavy on ourselves. but hopefully it will be a good day today and tomorrow. positive news, baby steps. look forward to speaking to you. hopefully with really good news next time we chat. take care. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. it isa it is a bank holiday. it means it is going to rain, doesn't it?

yes, that is it. back to you. it will not be raining all the time. yesterday was not a great day. it was very changeable. today is looking better with sunshine around. it will be a bright saturday but sunday is not looking so good. it looks like rain will be sweeping across the uk. this is the satellite image and the cloud is heading in oui’ image and the cloud is heading in our direction. it will eventually bring rain, but not until sunday. at the moment, we have this curve in the moment, we have this curve in the jet stream. we the moment, we have this curve in thejet stream. we have the moment, we have this curve in the jet stream. we have called air. if you have been outside you will have noticed how fresh it feels and it will stay like that today. the sunshine is still pretty strong so even with the fresher iran from artic regions, and technically you could call this polar iran, it stills feels decent during the day when the sun is out. —— polar air. today, temperatures will get up to

19 degrees in the south but more typically it will be around 16 degrees. there will be some showers arounds are not completely dry. you might need to run for cover briefly today. this evening, beautiful enter the day for many, but the clouds will thicken through the night and by five o'clock in the morning, we are expecting the rain to push into northern ireland, the western isles, maybe pembrokeshire, and possibly the isles of scilly as well. this is the beginning of a weather front, low pressure that will be sitting on top of the uk during the course of sunday. sunday is not looking good, lots of rain and wind, particularly around the western coasts. gusting to a0 mph or more. the weather front will rush across the uk in the afternoon and all of us will get rain. there is back edge to the rain by four o'clock, so belfast may be brightening later in the day but in the and south, there is certainly

ring around. it will be a soggy sunday. 0n ring around. it will be a soggy sunday. on sunday night, the weather front sunday. on sunday night, the weather fro nt m oves sunday. on sunday night, the weather front moves into the north sea. behind it, another window of weather. we have rain here, and another rain system here and we are right in the middle, just in time for bank holiday monday. in england and wales, bank holiday monday looks fine. some sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, and a little bit warmer. possibly up to 21 degrees. not to be sniffed that at this time of year. back to you. at least it ends on a good note. there is sunshine somewhere. i love it. if you watch breakfast regularly, you might remember that last year, we visited coastal communities that were struggling financially, especially out of the summer season. that is when it is really tough. one of them was whitley bay. 0ne one of my favourite places in the

country, beautiful part of the north—east coastline. i do not want too many people to know. i do not wa nt to too many people to know. i do not want to get it too busy. i think they might want to get it busier, the businesses at least. 12 months on, and following a cash injection, ricky boleto has been to see how the seaside town plans to cope when the sun sets and the holidaymakers have packed up their buckets and spades. i used to come here, it must‘ve been some a0 years ago. we've just come todayjust to see the new spanish city and see how it has improved. the weather's not the best! but you know, i mean, for a day out, it's great. it is a great coast and kids like the sun and buckets and spades no matter where they are. this summer, we've been spoilt for choice with millions of brits heading to the seaside to soak up the sun. coastal communities have been reaping the rewards. it's been amazing. i mean, the sunshine has been

fantastic, it's brought a lot more people down to the beach. been working around the clock. there's been a lot of late hours. been sometimes 2:00 in the morning here making ice cream, but no, we've managed to keep up with the demand — just! but how long will they be flavour of the month? well, today, we're back in whitley bay. 12 months ago, this seaside town was undergoing a face—lift, part of a decade—long plan to regenerate the area. people were really sad about where they lived. there was no pride because it was so awful when you walked along the area. dereliction and demolition. it was just sad, sad, sad. but now there's a new feeling in whitley bay that we're all pulling together to make this a great place to live, to work, and to be proud of. £2 million of investment from the government's coastal communities fund, as well as council and lottery support, has transformed one of town's most iconic landmarks. just look at the difference a year makes. we're inside spanish city here and businesses around here say they've seen record takings so far

this year and visitor numbers are up too, but that's not all down to the weather. the next challenge for coastal towns is to persuade visitors to keep coming back all year round. it's really easy to get a cheap flight to the med and so for resorts like this to fight back, there has to be investment and imagination. otherwise, i'm afraid, we will see the continuing decline of the british seaside resort. whoa! michael owns a nearby hotel. he knows how important it is for businesses to adapt. in the ‘60s and ‘70s we had the scottish — the glasgow fair, the edinburgh fair, where we'd be full of scottish visitors — only for a fortnight a year, though — but it was busy, it was vibrant. and then that disappeared. and then we have this stag and hen parties of the ‘80s and ‘90s. again, that market went.

and because the businesses didn't evolve and didn't change their products to the market, a lot of businesses closed. capturing both the corporate and leisure market has kept michael busy, and in the last two years, 50 new businesses have started up in the surrounding area. the government says by 2020, they will have invested of £250 billion in seaside towns. but still, there are some coastal communities that feel left out. whitley bay may never return to the glory days of the ‘60s but it is starting to see real change and a bit of that old seaside magic. ricky boleto, bbc news. i love that. i have such good memories of a kid of grain to the spanish city with my cousins. i have never been. 0ne spanish city with my cousins. i have never been. one day we will 90, i have never been. one day we will go, definitely. that will be messy. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's time now for a look at the newspapers. the childrens' commissioner for england, anne longfield,

is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we'll speak to anne in a moment. hello. first, let's look at the front pages. this is the story about the couple that did that this holiday resort in egypt at this particular hotel. lots of the people staying there with thomas cook have been flown home and have arrived back today. the guardian takes a look at alex salmond. he is fighting back after sexual harassment claims were unfilled. he says he does not agree with how the government has dealt with how the government has dealt with his, —— how the scottish parliament has dealt with these accusations. the daily telegraph.

anne, good morning. how are you? i am good. you have picked up a piece in the times. we have been talking about this all week, conflicting advice being offered to people about how much you should drink. a few weeks ago we we re should drink. a few weeks ago we were told a couple of drinks were fine, it is beneficial, then we were told there was a massive amount of research published in the lancet, being teetotal is safest. they have been suggesting nothing. this has been suggesting nothing. this has been an interesting intervention from adrian childs, talking about his drinking habits. he brings this down to the reality that lots of people experience, they have a few drinks every day, a few drinks during the week, it is not particularly glamorous. he says it is boring. he goes home and falls asleep. he has used the word is

mundane and hamas. but when he has added it up, he has got to 100 units added it up, he has got to 100 units a week, where his recommended units around 1a. that is useful because it brings it out of the land of contradictory advice and into reality. the reality is, the advice is that it harms you, the experience for me, and lots of children growing up for me, and lots of children growing up in households where there is excessive drinking, it has a massive impact on your life and a very negative ones. he is saying, have a look at what you drink and be honest about it. it has gone beyond the point where you are trying to outdo the doctors. it is your life, you need to do something about it. he came onto the show to talk about this. it is interesting, this idea of what we define an alcoholic as. he was saying, i do not drink during the day. you do not have time your cornfla kes. i do the day. you do not have time your cornflakes. i do not fall over in the street, but these are higher minds. there was another piece as

well during the week, saying that younger people are drinking less and less. partly as a kickback to pa rents. less. partly as a kickback to parents. new terms are starting for students. there is lots of emphasis on students who do not want to go for that freshers' alcohol fuelled existence, they want a different way of life. what do you mean by taking back at pains? that was the suggestion, because they have seen pa rents suggestion, because they have seen parents drinking so much as part of life, they are looking for a different lifestyle. —— at parents. they are posting healthy pictures of themselves on social media. now whatever happens, you're captured on social media. a0 years ago, no one would know apart from the ten people with you but now it is there forever. it is having an effect. you have picked out this story. this fits with your role as the children's commissioner. we will not

show the picture because it is quite graphic. this is to do with knife crime. i have pictures. it is a tough story. it is about the ongoing severe violence in some areas of london, particularly around camberwell. i near for a london, particularly around camberwell. i nearfor a decade plus. people are living their lives and getting on with it. on one hand we see the headlines and it is something that is shocking, but my worry is that people get absorbed by it and there is a fatigue about it. you become used to it. it is shocking. there are high numbers of young people involved. this is being described as a war zone. that is what the description has been by some police and doctors in accident and emergency. 0ften some police and doctors in accident and emergency. often you have kids in those areas who are not setting out to be part of this, what they are being groomed and dragged in, fuelled by high levels of drugs

available in the area, and gangs, cou nty available in the area, and gangs, county lines and the like. the issue is what to do about it. the police are working hard but this will not be one of the things you can police your way out of. you have to prevent it and get in early with kids and help them find alternatives but disrupting those areas and re—claiming them, that is something iam keen re—claiming them, that is something i am keen to see happen. when we we re i am keen to see happen. when we were covering this on the show and i was in london talking to young girls there and they were saying, it is a lot to do, if we were taught about how to make money and things like that, that would be part of it. if someone that, that would be part of it. if someone offers is £20 to take drugs to someone, we will do it because it is £20. the amount of money being handled is massive, it could be £500 a week for a 12—year—old. that is massive. young people have said, show me how i can earn money. there are entrepreneurial skills, although we do not like how they are being

used. show me how i can do something positive with this. at the moment it isa positive with this. at the moment it is a difficult place, some of those communities and tragic consequences for the children. we spoke about changing drinking habits, no eating habits. this is about veganism. they seem habits. this is about veganism. they seem to be taking over the world. bake off has a vegan week coming up over the next series. it used to be a word that was associated with boring, as slightly preachy way of eating. calling a plant —based, what this article is saying, it means it is all about health. underneath les is all about health. underneath les isa is all about health. underneath les is a big push for younger people to get involved in veganism or plant —based, but it is not always healthy. some of the alternatives are high in bad things like saturated fats. it is interesting and something which is expanding repertoire in terms of what we eat.

it is amazing how many menus have they given food. thank you. we will see later in the programme. still to come on breakfast: we've got some saturday morning motivation for you. we'll bejoined by this man, jordan wylie, a former soldier turned adventurer, who despite being diagnosed with epilepsyjust last year is now set to run in some of the world's toughest conditions to help children whose lives have been blighted by war. stay with us. the headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. time now for a summary of this morning's main news. in the last hour, pope francis has left rome for ireland. he'll be the first pontiff in almost a0 years to visit the country. his two—day tour comes as the catholic church faces criticism over its handling of child abuse by priests, dating back decades. hundreds of thousands of people are expected to listen to him speak.

here's andrew plant. dublin has spent weeks preparing for its first papal visit in almost a0 years. saturday will bring pope francis to ireland, with hundreds of thousands expected here in the city's phoenix park on sunday to attend mass. in 1979, whenjohn paul i! came to ireland, 90% of catholics attended weekly mass. contraception, abortion and divorce were against the law here. now that figure is a0% and it is a very different ireland that will greet pope francis. i think in the past the catholic church had too much of a dominant place in irish society. i think it still has a place in irish society, but not one that determines public policy or determines our laws. many are using the pope's visit to raise awareness of the catholic church's sexual abuse scandal.

this art installation detailing the suffering of victims. these projections on dublin's general post office doing the same, alongside the hashtag #standatruth. a series of enquiries here over a number of years exposed widespread sexual abuse by priests in various areas of ireland. pope francis is expected to meet with victims in private during his two—day trip but with ongoing scandals exposed in several countries worldwide, many believe the catholic church faces a crisis of credibility that will overshadow this visit from the outset. the first holidaymakers to be flown back early from the egyptian hotel where a british couple died have arrived home. john and susan cooper from burnley were staying at the steigenberger aqua magic hotel in hurghada. thomas cook said the circumstances of the unexplained deaths remained unclear.

the couple's daughter, who was also staying in the hotel, says she believes her parents' deaths are suspicious. president trump has called off the us secretary of state's visit to north korea because he feels insufficient progress has been made in dismantling pyongyang's nuclear programme. mike pompeo was due to visit next week. in a tweet, mr trump also blamed china for the cancelled visit, saying the country was not doing enough to pressure north korea, due to ongoing trade tensions with america. women in england will be allowed to take an early abortion pill at home, under a government plan due to take effect by the end of the year. currently, women ending a pregnancy in its first 10 weeks have to take two pills at a clinic 2a to a8 hours apart. the move will bring england into line with scotland and wales, but the society for the protection of unborn children said the move "further trivialises abortion". the hurricane heading towards hawaii has been down—graded

to a category one storm — but is still expected to bring disruption. hurricane lane has already caused flash flooding and landslides around the islands — and is now sustaining winds of 70 miles per hour. the national weather service forecaster says it is expecting the storm to weaken, but the authorities have plans in place in case there are still problems. just now you have great news that the storm is weakening, as they projected. but we still feel it's very important to have the military be postured to respond to any threats. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has defended comments he made about "british zionists" when he was a backbencher. it has emerged he told a palestinian conference five years ago that british zionists did not understand english irony. mr corbyn said he was referring to people who support the creation of a jewish state, corresponding to the historic land of israel and not to alljews. the first of a new series of rail strikes on northern has begun,

as part of the dispute about the role of guards on trains. members of the rmt union are set to walk out for six consecutive saturdays. northern has said it will operate around 30% of its usual services, with buses replacing some trains. two years after it was sent on a mission, a nasa spacecraft has sent the first blurry pictures of an ancient asteroid, the images could provide clues as to how life on earth began. look at this. the bennu asteroid is this tiny object here in the green circle, which you can just about make out. the spacecraft 0siris—rex is designed to go round... sorry, i am round... sorry, iam mesmerised by this! round it and reach out to its surface with a robotic arm, and bring back a sample of space dust. you said it was ancient, i wanted to

know how old it was. probably nearly as old as you. 0k, 0k, know how old it was. probably nearly as old as you. 0k, ok, here we go! sarah is going to rescue us. as old as you. 0k, ok, here we go! sarah is going to rescue uslj as old as you. 0k, ok, here we go! sarah is going to rescue us. i think we should take the tension over to this side, becausejose mourinho is used to it. let's rescue this. he hasn't been happy for much of this season. there have been plenty of rumours about what's going on behind the scenes at manchester united — but managerjose mourinho says he's not had a row with his boss ed woodward. but he didn't say a great deal else. in fact, he only spoke forjust over four minutes. he answered 13 questions. this was his response to a question about the talk of a fall—out behind the scenes at united. don't ask me because i don't read. i don't know... i don't know 10% of what is written. i don't know 10% of what... of what is coming on the tv screens. so i'm not the right guy to answer to it.

the tottenham hotspur goalkeeper hugo lloris says he apologises wholeheartedly after being charged with drink driving in the early hours of yesterday morning. lloris, who captained france to victory at the world cup last month, said in a statement it is not the example i wish to set. he was stopped by police in central london after a night out with some of his french team mates. england's women have finished third at the under—20 world cup after beating hosts france in a penalty shoot—out. england's goalkeeper sandy mciver made two saves, before georgia allen stepped up to secure a a—2 victory for the lionesses. middlesbrough are top of the championship this morning after a stoppage time goal gave them victory over west brom at the riverside stadium. boro dominated throughout but it took until the first minute of added time for daniel ayala to poke in the winner, giving boro boss tony pulis a win over his former side. a big smile. sorry, i keep rudely

interrupting every time we do it.|j enjoyed that, very good.|j interrupting every time we do it.|j enjoyed that, very good. i can do more, if you like? just whoop when i tell you what is coming up on football focus. i also have an interesting interview with cardiff boss he'll warn it. talk aboutjose mourinho being under pressure, the way some football manager speak, you think it is the be all and end all. but neal wallick has been speaking to football focus, and he talked about the fact that his wife has been suffering with cancer. —— neil warnock. he says it has changed him asa warnock. he says it has changed him as a manager. you do seem a lot calmer this time around. i think that's got to come from sharon's illness, really. when sharon had the breast cancer and all the problems we had for two years, when you see something like that happening in front you, you realise you do blow hot air

at times in football. and there's far more important things, i think. and now we've got to grips with that, and i see sharon as she is, it's great for me. i love life now at the minute. and my life is sharon and the kids, and my family. and also my football. i treat them like my kids, really. i've got 25 kids here at football, and they've all got problems. but i love that. even though they go off at you? even though they go off at me. usually behind my back. not in front of me. i love that description of footballers, 25 kids, they've all got problems. mkhitaryan, moving to arsenal, talking about working under the new boss. joe is a holebas, he has made his way towards watford playing in the premier league. at

18, his girlfriend got pregnant and he gave up football because he thought the most important thing is i've got to look after her and the baby. he worked in a warehouse and eventually he said, you know what, i'll try football again. eventually he said, you know what, i'lltry footballagain. he eventually he said, you know what, i'll try football again. he went back to it and have a fantastic career, playing for watford. we will be rendering julie mcelroy —— remembering julian mcilroy, and a manager who is very different to the foot ball manager who is very different to the football manager you would expect to see. he admits to crying at mama mia 2. he encourages his players to be like that as well. that has been successful as well. whoop! warrington wolves will be back at wembley for the fifth time in ten years later as they face french side catalans dragons in the challenge cup final.

wolves will be favourites, but dragons have impressed many in their run to this, their second cup final. they're coached by former england boss steve mcnamara and he told us what he changed when he arrived in the south of france. the french culture is they drink wine and they eat bread at every meal. it's not conducive to elite performance if you're doing that every meal. so it's a small little changes, implemented to our group. some big changes, also, to make sure that we are coming around, playing in an english competition, against the elite players in england, and we have to match those standards. full coverage later from two o'clock. we have got you covered. fernando alonso says he wants an apology from red bull, after they denied his claim that they'd offered him a drive for next season. alonso will retire at the end of the year, after he failed to secure a deal away from the mclaren team, but red bull boss christian horner insists they haven't offered him a contract since 2007.

0n the track, formula one is back from its summer break. ferrari's kimi raikkonen clocked the fastest time in friday practice ahead of the belgian grand prix. lewis hamilton was second quickest. moto gp comes to silverstone this weekend with marc marquez looking to extend his championship lead at the british grand prix tomorrow. but he could only manage the ath quickest time as andrea dovizioso — who won at the course last year — set the pace in free practice yesterday, followed by britain's cal crutchlow, who finished just a fraction off the italian's time. the riders had decent conditions but heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow's race. we know wimbledon has a strict dress code, of all white, for players and now the french open is set to introduce one of their own — and that means serena williams will be banned from wearing her black catsuit at roland garros. the french tennis federation says, "it will no longer be accepted, you have to respect the game and the place." the 23—time grand slam champion wore

the suit at this year's tournament — and spoke about how it helped her deal with the issue of blood clots, which she said almost cost her her life when giving birth. now it's archery, but not as we know it. in field archery you move around a cross country course, shooting at different targets. it's a bit like a round of golf. the british team are gearing up for the world championships in italy and our very own mike bushell went to an event to release his inner robin hood. a step into the unknown, across hill and valley in a form of archery that takes this precision sport back to how it was centuries ago. i wanted to be robin hood, and probably haven't grown out of it since. it's the sport that takes us back to our roots,

to a time when we all had to hunt for our food, and here in the wilderness in watership down in hampshire, 80 or so of the country's top field archers are negotiating the course. cross—country archery if you like. if you think about it, if ugg and thug didn't shoot a bow or throw a brick so many million years ago, we wouldn't be able to shoot arrows. it's in the gene pool, mate. it darts for outward bound people. it's adventurous, i like exploring. yeah, it's nice to be outdoors. it is a bit like a round of golf. rather than just aiming at the same target, you cross all sorts of rough terrain while trying to keep your composure. 0ften that's walking up and down the hills you just shot on, which will affect your heart rate. but in order to shoot as consistently as possible, you need that also to be consistent. up to the next target then, there are 2a in all in the competition

and they can be between five metres and 60 metres away. this looks a relatively near one, is it? about 15, 20? about 15 from here. it's shooting on different slopes between trees, light and dark, so that affects your distance judgment. keep pulling, keep pulling, keep pulling. even using a traditional longbow, it requires a surprising amount of strength to pull the string back. if you're inspired to give it a go, for safety reasons, it must be done as part of an organised club session and numbers are increasing. in the last few years we've seen a shift to girls, and that, i think, is down to a lot of the films that have come out recently. like, the hunger games and brave, and even a bit of the avengers, because it's all encouraging young people to see the sport in an exciting light. this is definitely the most extreme of the targets, right up this steep hillside. members of the british team there are aiming at that tiny little target, 60 metres there near the bottom of this bowl.

the modern bows used by the british team heading to the world championships in italy this autumn are so powerful, so high—tech, there's no way i could draw back the string far enough. i can't even pull it back towards my nose, you've got to... yes, i pull it back 30 inches for mine. it's notjust being strong enough to hold it, it's being strong enough to do it 70, 80, 90 times in a rolling competition. it's so different and challenging. it's ok to not be perfect, whereas with target archery, it tends to be a bit more like you have to hit the goal every time. mike bushell for bbc news, near watership down. —— gold. i would not be trying that occurred for accuracy raisings. mike bushell will try anything. and he has such a laugh with it as well. thanks very much.

you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: pope francis will meet child abuse victims later today during the republic of ireland's first papal visit for almost a0 years. the first holidaymakers to be flown back early from the egyptian hotel where a british couple died have arrived home. tour operator thomas cook says the cause ofjohn and susan cooper's deaths remained unexplained. it's starting to feel a lot cooler. is it a sign of things to come? ido i do not mean the atmosphere. we will warm it up. it is called the roadside. you have had the electric blanket on. are you going to succumb to the heating or are you a hardy? i had to get myjumpers out this morning to sit in the car because it was chilly first thing. about 8 degrees. we are coming out of and we are all used to the really warm

weather, or generally speaking it has been warm. 8 degrees feels fairly cool. if we have a injanuary one thing in the morning morning that feels mild. but the weekend is looking split. at the moment. —— at the moment, we have a window of opportunity. a beautiful start to the day in many parts of the country but the clouds are gathering in the atlantic. you can see the jet stream coming in from the north. we have called air coming from the arctic regions. you can see the arrows coming from the north. it is cool airover coming from the north. it is cool air over us. it feels cold this morning, but at this time of the year, the sun is very strong, so it will not feel bad by the time we get to lunchtime. there will be showers brewing so not a dry day. you can hardly see them on the weather map

because they will be small and fleeting. yesterday i saw hailstones and gusts of wind. it was quite a day. this evening, it will be a fine end to the day. in the west, the weather will go downhill. by the early hours of sunday morning, the clouds will be thick. rain in belfast, probably. the weather will go downhill in western areas through the morning. this low pressure will sit on top of us during sunday. we can wave goodbye to the clear blue skies tomorrow. tomorrow will be a different day. all of this has to sweep through the uk. it is on top of ours from 11 o'clock. heavy rain in places and a few hours of steady rain, easily, for some. in places and a few hours of steady rain, easily, forsome. maybe in places and a few hours of steady rain, easily, for some. maybe in northern ireland later in the afternoon it will brighten up. it will be a wash—out for some of us, sunday. the evening might be ok, perhaps late sunshine out there.

let's have a look at sunday night into monday. you can see the weather front is out there, at the edge of the screen. we had in between weather systems. we are in between the sunshine. monday is looking fine. a couple of sunny days, apart from the wash—out heading our way tomorrow. that is it. it would be nice if it was that all the time, two bands of rain on either side of us. all the time? i would be without a job. they could come in at night and then go. 0k, let's hope the weather keeps changing. i have bills to pay. that was a su btle i have bills to pay. that was a subtle way of trying to get rid of him. no. i have been getting grief about the electric blanket thing. i have got the message from scott sinclairare i have got the message from scott sinclair are you really from middlesbrough, have you gone soft? she is soft. it's being billed as one of the biggest events in the history of the internet.

two youtube stars, ksi and logan paul, are set to take their beef into the boxing ring. the two men, with more than 30 million subscribers between them, are set to earn a fortune from tonight's clash. 0ur arts and entertainment correspondent colin paterson caught up with them ahead of fight night. who's ready for the biggest internet event in history? two of the biggest youtube stars taking their online rivalry into the boxing ring. i can't wait to punch you right in your stupid, smug face. britain's ks! and his american opponent, logan paul, each have almost 20 million subscribers, predominately teenage boys attracted by their mix of comedy, bad language, and hostility towards other youtube stars. despite not being professional boxers, tonight both are set to make seven figure sums in a pay—per—view fight broadcast live, not on satellite tv, but on youtube. for anyone who says this is wwe, it will be scripted, what have you got to say?

this isn't scripted. someone is getting knocked out, and it is not me. a lot of people watching this fight are very young. how good a role model are you? i never like people calling me a role model. i am not a role model. i'm just a guy that does things on the internet. if people are inspired by that then that is cool. but logan paul is the baddie of the piece after causing global outrage earlier this year by filming the body of an apparent suicide victim in a japanese forest. i do not expect to be forgiven. i am simply here to apologise. when i spoke to him, he made it clear he is still trying to make amends. i don't think this is the redemption. i think it may mark a part of it, but by no means is this fight redemption for my mistake that happened in january. this fight also shows the way that the entertainment industry is changing. over the last decade youtube stars have worked out how to monetise their huge online following.

this has taken it to a different level. this is an audience used to not paying. it is a pay—per—view event so live numbers, we're expecting it to be huge, but over the period of time of the content, it will run to hundreds of millions of impressions. and while boxing is one of the oldest sports there is, the fight is the start of something new, and whover loses, everyone is set to be a winner. a rematch in the usa is already booked in for early next year. colin paterson, bbc news, manchester. interesting how things have changed in terms of people making money with youtube and the other different online platforms. we will be talking about that later in the programme. good morning. last year, the former soldier jordan wylie, who has spent most of his adult life in danger zones, was diagnosed with epilepsy. undeterred by the diagnosis and against the odds, the adventurer is taking on the terrain of three of the world's most dangerous countries in an attempt to help children affected by war.

hejoins us now. good morning. thanks forjoining us. thanks. what are you going to be doing? i am running through three of what are perceived as the three most dangerous countries in the world to raise awareness for the children whose lives are affected every day, whose lives are affected every day, who lives and breathe their lives in these warzones, who are victim of war, and to have epilepsy. these warzones, who are victim of war, and to have epilepsylj these warzones, who are victim of war, and to have epilepsy. i was diagnosed a year ago. which countries are they? they are right, afghanistan and somalia. have you worked in those countries before? yes, i have worked in the private sector. 0ne yes, i have worked in the private sector. one of the thing that urges use the people you meet and the children. they have no influence on what is going on around them. it is heartbreaking when you see the lives they are living. when you see running, what do you mean? will you be on your own or with a team of people? it is a solo challenge. i have done a ten kilometre run in

somalia. by running the first—ever mixed gender race in somalia. i run a solo marathon in baghdad in may and i'm going to afghanistan in a couple of weeks' time to do my first—ever marathon. good luck. ayoub appeared ? first—ever marathon. good luck. ayoub appeared? as prepared as i am going to be. a few more pounds to shed before i get out there. i'd put on weight when i am running. do not worry about it. it could be a concern, being diagnosed with epilepsy. that was a year ago. how did that diagnosis come about. were you suffering from seizures? i had my first seizures over a year ago. it came out of nowhere. there was no history in my family. i had never experienced any seizures or neurological conditions before. i was overseas on an expedition and i had my first seizure and it came out of the blue. this can happen to

anyone, anywhere at any time. are you going to cope with that, what procedures are in place, and what plans have you made in case a seizure happens abroad? when i was diagnosed with epilepsy, one of the first things where is the medical professionals were saying you cannot do this project or go there. it will cause stress to your body. i wanted to challenge the perceptions around epilepsy. i have had no issues to date, but it is about managing the risk. you can achieve anything you wa nt risk. you can achieve anything you want with epilepsy but it is about knowing your limitations. i carry emergency medicine everywhere i go. i have one in my backpack now in case i have a seizure. i have a card on me that tells anyone around me what to do in the event of an emergency. it is a serious condition but there are 600,000 people in the uk living with epilepsy and a hundred more every day diagnosed. it

is not the end of the world and i wa nt to is not the end of the world and i want to fly that flag for epilepsy action to say you can achieve anything you want but you have got to manage the risks. do you have any idea how it happened, how you ended up idea how it happened, how you ended up with epilepsy? very strangely, i was on an expedition in east africa in 2015. i contracted dengue fever, mosquito borne virus. i caught a severe strain of that and i found myself on an ebola award in africa. i was myself on an ebola award in africa. iwas in myself on an ebola award in africa. i was in quarantine with the white suits and doctors around me. i thought i was on my way out, it was a reality check. the blood tests and the ongoing continuous medical assessments have linked it back to this episode of dengue fever, which is quite common in parts of africa and asia, for people to pick up epilepsy as a result of this disease. not so common in the uk. you're working on lots of projects. in one of them you're advising tom

hanks? that was the captain phillips film that came out a few years ago. i have been working in the anti—piracy sector after the military. i spent eight years on vessels protecting them for —— from pirate attacks in the indian ocean. i wrote my book last year, which came out. that is what i was doing. what was he like? an absolute gentleman. when you meet people sometimes and you have watched them or your life in the movies and tv, i was blown away by him. he had time for everybody. a real pleasure to meet and spent time with him. it has been enjoyable for us. good luck with the expeditions and the running and thank you for talking to us. nice to see you. the headlines are coming up. we will see you soon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern

and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines this morning... the pope arrives in ireland today for his first visit in almost a0 years — he'll make a series of public appearances and meet privately people abused by the clergy. falling into step with scotland and wales — women in england will soon be allowed to take abortion pills in their own homes. holidaymakers arrive home after being flown back early from an egyptian hotel following the unexplained deaths of a british couple. that picture is not one of those british couple. it's just sad that these two people have died, in whichever circumstances they've died. and no—one can be sure.
