you know, having 1 gigabyte of fibre optic internet to the home... yeah, you like that. yeah, you definitely like that. and that's it for the short cut of our sustainability special. the full—length version is available on iplayer for you to watch right now. check us out on facebook and on twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching, see you soon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and babita sharma.

our headlines today... john mccain — considered to be one of the most influential american politicians of his time — has died at the age of 81. his death has led to tributes from across the political divide — former president barack obama said he was an american hero. the pope says there will be consequences for those who covered up abuse, as he meets victims during his historic visit to ireland. i got the strong impression that no one will be exempt from just penalties. in sport... mo salah is the match winner as liverpool make it three wins from three in the premier league... the weather is not looking particularly cheerful today. a lot of grey skies out there but tomorrow, there is some sunshine on the way! it's sunday the 26th of august.

our top story... john mccain, the vietnam war hero turned us senator and presidential candidate, has died. he was 81 and had been suffering from a brain tumour. he'd decided to stop treatmentjust two days ago. tributes were paid as soon as the news of his death was announced. our correspondent in washington, chris buckler, looks back at his life. john mccain was a politician of principle. a patriot who believed in his country, and fought for it at tremendous cost to himself. as a young navy pilot, he was shot down over hanoi, interrogated and tortured. his captors saw a potential propaganda coup, when his father became the commander of us forces in vietnam and offered him release. butjohn mccain refused, despite the many beatings he had suffered. on his return, he was hailed as a war hero and entered politics. and would eventually spend 35 years representing republicans inside congress.

but he was fiercely independent and often spoke out against the party, notably challenging the influence of big money on american politics. the party establishment will not finish me off anywhere. why is that? because i will break the iron triangle in washington of money, lobbying and legislation and they know would that would be very, very disruptive financially to a lot of people's lives. he may have challenged washington, but he was respected here too. and in 2008, he was selected as a republican presidential candidate. but his campaign was not without mistakes and he was criticised as choosing sarah palin as his running mate. ultimately, he was to lose to history in the form of barack obama. i wish the outcome had been different, my friends, the road was a difficult one from the outset. but your support and friendship never wavered. in the divisive and aggressive world of american politics, there was always respect shown

between president obama and john mccain. but donald trump didn't always show mccain such courtesy. he's not a war hero. he is a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured, 0k? i hate to tell you. he was a war hero because he was captured! his influence was still obvious in the twilight of his career. after brain surgery, he walked into the senate and stopped donald trump's attempts to get rid of the obamacare health reforms. with a grand gesture, he turned his thumb down. john mccain was a fighter till the end. he lived longer than expected after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. his family said it was with his usual strength of will that he chose to stop receiving medical treatment, but he was a man who never gave up hope in politics, or in his own personal battles. i'm going home for a while to treat my illness.

i have every intention of returning here and giving many of you cause to regret all the nice things you said about me. and i hope to impress on you again that it is an honour to serve the american people in your company. thank you, fellow senators, mr president. applause. that was chris buckler reporting there. looking back on the life of senator john mccain. john mccain's daughter, meghan mccain, paid tribute to her father in a statement posted on twitter. she said, "he was a great fire who burned bright, and we lived in his light and his warmth for so very long. we know that his flame lives on, in each of us." overnight, president trump also paid tribute to the senator on twitter. he says: "my deepest sympathies and respect goes out to the family of senatorjohn mccain. our hearts and prayers are with you". and finally barack obama also wrote

of the late senator, who he ran against in the 2008 presidential election. he says, "john mccain and i were members of different generations, came from completely different backgrounds, and competed at the highest level of politics. on his first official visit to ireland, pope francis has met eight survivors of clerical and institutional abuse by the roman catholic church. earlier he expressed his shame at the failure of the church to deal with crimes committed by its members. this afternoon in dublin, he'll say a mass for an expected congregation of half—a—million people. our ireland correspondent emma vardy is in dublin this morning. has this visit done anything to alleviate the negative impact of abuse by the catholic church in ireland? we heard pope francis yesterday

speaking about the fact of how ashamed he was that the church had failed to deal with these crimes. what was particularly noted by people was the fact he did not alter his speech is to outline what he would take. survivors say it is not apologies or condemnation they want any more but action. the fact that he took the step of meeting survivors in person for an hour and a half was welcomed. he spoke with them at length and some of those in them at length and some of those in the meeting have told us that privately he gave reassurances that he would investigate any allegations of cover—ups within the vatican. he would insist any of those involved in any cover—up of clerical sexual abuse must resign. yesterday, we also saw the irish taoiseach lee overwrite kept taking the lead on this and telling the pope that there was a lot of work to do to bring

about justice and healing was a lot of work to do to bring aboutjustice and healing for britain's —— leo varadkar. we saw yesterday that the pope has the power to draw large crowds. thousands lined the streets of dublin to see him come past in the popemobile and people have pointed out numbers are diminished from the last visit from the pope a0 years ago but they say do not write off the catholic church here yet, it is a central part of many peoples lives. pope francis's visit continues today, he is going to the west of to visit knock shrine, where a apparition of the virgin mary was said to have appeared in the 18 —— 1800 ‘s. then the pope returns back to dublin, to phoenix park. he will be holding a mass here this afternoon with half a million people expected to attend. you may be able to hear some of the musical entertainment which has got under

way at the moment but not much of a sign of many people here yet. it is very wet, so it will be a challenge of people's determination to come and see the pope this afternoon! such as the crowd but pope francis draws, it is like a concert, as we can hear behind you. preparations under way, what time are we expecting things to kick—off? the mass is at 3pm this afternoon, i'm told there will be a lot of music and prior and celebrations on stage leading up to that point. when pope john paul gave a mass here in phoenix park here, there were one and a half million people he for that, half the country came out to see the pope last time around, and about 500,000, 600,000 people expected here today. we will see if the weather puts them off or their determination to see the pope is strong enough. emma, thank you. as emma was saying, as we speak, the

pope is currently departing dublin for knock shrine before he heads back to phoenix park for the congregation. and we'll be talking to one of those eight abuse survivors who met the pope, in the next few minutes. directors who dissolve companies to avoid paying workers' wages or pensions could face heavy fines or be banned from running firms, under government proposals. ministers are planning changes in the wake of what they describe as "recent large—scale business failures", which left suppliers out of pocket and sizeable black holes in pension pots. hundreds of venezuelans have been allowed into peru, just hours after the country said that anyone crossing the border would need a passport. peru had been trying to stem the flow of people coming into the country as they flee the economic crisis in venezuela, but the foreign minister has now said that no one will be denied entry. emmerson mnangagwa is due to be sworn in as zimbabwe's president this morning,

following the ousting of robert mugabe last year. the ceremony will be held at the national sports stadium in the capital, harare. it's expected to be boycotted by the opposition party, the movement for democratic change — which has claimed the outcome of the election was rigged. and there was a light—hearted moment during the pope's appearance in dublin last night. he went to croke park in dublin last night. many people got the opportunity to meet him. many of us will have asked ourselves what would we say or do when meeting someone famous. well, if you're 12—year—old alison nevin the answer is apparently very simple: you ask him for a selfie! the crowd loved it! the crowd at croke park cheered as pope francis posed for the picture which is sure to be shared around the world when it eventually makes its way to social media. she has obviously done that before and knows what she's doing! i would have been fumbling, trying to get the camera the right way around,

it's never that straightforward! fantastic. returning to the papal visit to ireland, and pope francis has met with eight survivors of abuse on the first day of his trip to the country. one of those eight was father patrick mccafferty who was abused whilst he was a trainee priest. he joins us on the phone from belfast. it's good of you to join us this morning, father mccafferty. thank you for your time. what did he say to you? well, we spoke, he came around each of us initially. each of us around each of us initially. each of us who was there. then each of us had the opportunity to speak to him directly and he listened very attentively and very carefully. it was a very robust exchange, in many ways. no punches were polled. the

pope listened very carefully, and responded in a very human way. there was nothing in the sense of... this was nothing in the sense of... this was a very real meeting and a real encounter of human beings. he had suffered terribly in so many ways, —— they were. they were still living with the legacy of their suffering and trauma. the pope was very forthright in his response and very open. and very genuine. forthright in his response and very open. and very genuinelj forthright in his response and very open. and very genuine. i do not wish to intrude so please forgive me if this is an intrusive question, what did you say to him? well, i said to him that two weeks ago, holy father, i said that you should not

come to ireland, i told the congregation at mass on the sunday that the pope should not come. i was not against him, i told him. that the pope should not come. i was not against him, itold him. it that the pope should not come. i was not against him, i told him. it was not against him, i told him. it was not because of the pope himself, i am his faithful son but on account of the terrible situation and pain that the church found itself in. that maybe it was not a good idea to have a large gathering like this with so many unresolved and unaddressed issues. ialso with so many unresolved and unaddressed issues. i also said to him the problem was that some of those coming with him and those unanswered questions, with regards to their contribution to the pain and what they knew and what they did not know. i said to him, that even the highest ranking clergy of the church would need to be accountable and that they need to be seen to be made accountable. if they have

cove red made accountable. if they have covered up crime and sin or dealt with it incompetently, they need to face very real consequences for their actions. having said that you did not think that he should come, we re did not think that he should come, were you then surprised that you we re were you then surprised that you were offered the opportunity to meet him? i was were offered the opportunity to meet him? iwas a were offered the opportunity to meet him? i was a little, to be honest. it was out of the blue. my position as well, i made it known. i've been advocating for survivors for over 20 years, and as an abuse survivor myself in childhood by a baby—sitter and later as myself in childhood by a baby—sitter and laterasa myself in childhood by a baby—sitter and later as a young adult at the hands of a priest who was imprisoned for his crimes against me and against others. that situation was well known. with the trial of the

abuser priest, that was public and in the press here every day for about a month when it was ongoing. backin about a month when it was ongoing. back in 2011. and previous to his arrest, etc, over a back in 2011. and previous to his arrest, etc, overa couple back in 2011. and previous to his arrest, etc, over a couple of years. ina sense arrest, etc, over a couple of years. in a sense maybe that is why i was asked, because i was well known to be an advocate for abuse survivors andi be an advocate for abuse survivors and i had suffered it myself. and had become very open about that. my people that i serve here know it. it is not as if it is something we talk about daily but it is not an elephant in the room. we talk about it and we have done. i'm sure that, for you as a member of the catholic church, to have said that you did not want him to come, that must have been a big thing to do, as the head of your church to say you did not wa nt to of your church to say you did not want to see him. i wonder what you thought, i have read quotes from

others who heard what he had to say yesterday who felt his words were one thing but maybe did not go far enough, are you confident, briefly that what he said to you and what you believe he will now do, is going to finally get to grips with this issue? i have absolute confidence that he will. this was a very difficult problem and it will not be solved overnight. years of suffering and complication, and the pope, i believe, is resolute and of course, there are some people for whom it will never be right. it cannot be in some cases because of the damage. and in this world, healing for them may not come in this world. but i definitely believe that the pope was absolutely sincere and in horror at what happened. he expressed his

shame for what happened and deep soi’i’ow shame for what happened and deep sorrow for the pain caused. we are grateful for you taking your time to speak to us this morning. father patrick mccafferty. thank you. here's thomasz with a look at this morning's weather. good morning! it isn't looking great out there at the moment. the winds have freshened across western areas and the rain has piled in. let me show you the radar. this is not the forecast, this is what is happening. this is the thing that allows us to see where the rain has reached. northern ireland, engulfed by the rain it is reaching. nudging into south—western parts of england and wales. many eastern parts of the country at the moment are still pretty dry. if you wa nt to moment are still pretty dry. if you want to make the most of dry weather and you live across eastern areas, do so quickly in the next couple of hours because that rain will reach you. this is where the rain is at

about ten or 11 o'clock, moving across the country. this package to the rain will brighten up eventually, across northern ireland, wales and the south—west. there will probably be sunshine here in the second half of the afternoon that many central and eastern areas look wet. the darker the cooler day, stronger winds on some coasts, gusting at a0 miles an hour. blustery inland. rain is that well out the way, temperatures made not be particularly low, 15 degrees in the south of the country and ten in the south of the country and ten in the north. on monday, this weather system is out the way. we have a speu system is out the way. we have a spell of clear weather. this is the monday forecast. bank holiday monday does not look too bad at all. a 5°99y does not look too bad at all. a soggy sunday. but the skies were clear and you will notice there are blobs of blue. these are showers caught in the westerly breeze in the wa ke caught in the westerly breeze in the wake of low pressure. not completely

dry, but certainly much better. and it will feel warmer with temperatures of about 22 degrees. on tuesday, some good news. we may see warmth coming out the south—west. thing is warming up a little bit on tuesday. temperatures hitting the mid—20s potentially in the south—east. a lot of fine weather around in many central and eastern areas. here, some rain on the way too. in summary. an unpleasant afternoon for many of us today but it will look like that tomorrow, we are infor it will look like that tomorrow, we are in for some sunshine. back to you two. studio: we wanted some rain, didn't we! ? returning to our main story now — tributes are being paid to the us senator, john mccain, who died on saturday at the age of 81. let's speak to scott lucas, a professor of american studies at the university of birmingham.

good morning to you. many people paying tribute, of course, to senatorjohn mccain, talking about how he was able to bridge the political divide in american politics. what is your assessment of the type of political force, if you like, that he was? in terms of his politics, he was a man who in shifting positions could divide people at points. early in his career, it was almost ended by ethical concerns. but later he advocated strongly. he was the leader of a campaign on finance reform. at one point he was very hostile towards immigration, supporting some of the toughest anti—immigration laws in the country but later he was promoting immigration reform. at one point quite hostile to lesbian and gay rights. but later he became more, as it were, accepting of people in

terms of different backgrounds. but all of these shifting positions including support for the iraq war, for which she was criticised but later supporting the rights of protesters in syria, you always hear from his colleagues today and from family and friends, that this was a decent and honest man treating others with respect. i think that will be the overwhelming thing today. he could often disagree with you and be quite forceful in it but he could make mistakes. but whether republican, democrat or independent, he would listen and engage. what about how he was so vocal a critic of president trump in the last few yea rs. of president trump in the last few years. even up until his treatment in december when he was gravely ill in arizona, he was once again criticising donald trump vociferously. would he have been disheartened by what happened to the republican party under the trump

administration? john mccain made it clear, he was active until the last few days of his life that he was disheartened not only by what was happening to the republican party but also america. let's remember that this was notjust but also america. let's remember that this was not just an abstract but also america. let's remember that this was notjust an abstract i hate trump approach, but based on concerns about decency and decent politics. for example, when donald trump two years ago attacked parents ofa trump two years ago attacked parents of a muslim american who died in combat, john mccain came to the defence to say that it does not matter whether you are christian, jewish, muslim, you should be remembered for your services to the country. he said it as a war hero. when he criticised —— when donald trump criticised immigrants and described them as animals, john mccain said that you always respect immigrants, you always respect those who come into this country. john mccain, when he went after donald

trump, and when he even said that donald trump verged on treacherous, in meeting vladimir putin, he did so on the basis of issues and that all americans deserve to be treated with respect rather than being insulted or mocked. we are so grateful for your insights. thank you for your comments this morning. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. broadcaster rob mcloughlin is here to tell us what's caught his eye. good morning. we went through some of these one hour ago. we are inside the sunday express. bus companies betray our ailing high streets... it's a bit harsh to blame bus companies! there are a lot of factors... this is interesting research done by kate devlin, based on the latest government figures. we have lost 50,000 jobs since january

on the high street with the troubles we know about... there are a number of factors involved... yes, but there are 3000 fewer bus routes, despite the fact the government say they are putting in £250 million per year, £1 million into free travel and free passage for people. nevertheless, in some areas, there are less than a million fewer journeys made by bus than they're worth. that is a factor? yes, they claim if you take an area like greater manchester there are something like 80 million fewer journeys over the last ten years and similar figures coming out in areas like tyne & wear. as you know, in some areas like in greater manchester, they created trams, there are other forms, that is happening in the west midlands but politicians say in this article that potentially, it is a factor and it

has to be considered and looked at. let me look at these photographs again, they show white friday in hull, the black and white picture on this side is as it was in the 19705. aren't you at the back there in that one, robert? i'm pleased that you did not mention the! some of your viewers may disagree on wednesday and friday, iwa5 viewers may disagree on wednesday and friday, i was in glasgow, but the bus service there was terrific. my the bus service there was terrific. my mum and dad rely on the bus 5ervice my mum and dad rely on the bus service where they live in reading, it is incredibly important for people with the free bus pass, they love it and make use of it. can you talk us through this one? another exclusive based on research, they

5ay exclusive based on research, they say that a800 homes, they are deferred payment agreements, introduced by the government in 2015. if somebody needs care home assistance and support but cannot afford to pay for it, the home becomes part of that deal. the home is sold off after that person has sadly passed away. at the moment, according to those figures, councils across the country owned £128 million. some of these are very expensive, one of the homes in the city of westminster is valued at £1.8 million. again, it raises the issue that this may be one of the options that, unfortunately, as with an ageing population we all had to face and we had to face it with our parents and so on, it raises the issue that government parties of both colours and all colours with the coalition in the past, they have never quite grappled the social care issue... they call it the social

ca re issue... they call it the social care crisis? jeremy hunt held onto that position under theresa may and added it under her. but it is one of the big issues. and a little one from the sunday mirror today. there could be a five—year gap between james bond films, presumably, without reading it, danny boyle stepped down this week as director of the 20th one. low here is a good mastermind question, will do you know the longest gap? seven years? it was the gap between licence to kill and goldeneye, which was pierce bro5nan, of course. kill and goldeneye, which was pierce brosnan, of course. if you are going to do brosnan, of course. if you are going todoa brosnan, of course. if you are going to do a gap between two iconic films, you may as well do that. then of course, sky fall took over 1 billion... they said it was creative differences. and nothing has been

said since. nobody is talking about that today, i imagine it is with lawyers. somebody tweeted me and said it was because he was from radcliffe in greater manchester, danny boyle, and maybe he wanted to set it there and call it for your pies only! and a good note to end on! stay with us, the headlines are on! stay with us, the headlines are on the way. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and babita sharma. here's a summary of this morning's main news. the us senator and former republican presidential candidate, john mccain, has died at the age of 81. it was only announced on friday that the vietnam war hero turned politician was ending his treatment for a brain tumour. he ran against barack obama in the 2008 presidential election, and was a fierce critic of president trump. on his first official visit to ireland, pope francis has met eight survivors

of clerical and institutional abuse by the roman catholic church. this afternoon in dublin, he'll say a mass for an expected congregation of half—a—million. our ireland correspondent emma vardy is in dublin this morning. we can't see many people behind you but we could hear them when we spoke to you earlier. preparation is well under way at phoenix park. yes, coaches full of people are starting to arrive. it is the down the drain pretty heavily. people are arriving with ponchos and umbrellas. they will have quite awake because mass is not until around the pm. it is a huge operation, to get half a million people or more, possibly, into this area. there are pens behind me, as faras into this area. there are pens behind me, as far as the eye can see, and big screens set up in rows, all the way back, pretty much as far as you can see, and the pope will give mass at 3pm this afternoon. there is a huge stage behind me with

a huge cross on top of it, a pretty impressive structure. that is where the pope will be appearing later on. although, saying that, there will be some logistical issues because we have heard warnings about road closures and delays, some people who are elderly coming year being warned that they are going to need to walk for a very long distance, so i think people will need a lot of strong faith as well as good wet weather gear here this afternoon. it is a test of their resolve of how much they want to come and see the pope! emma will be reporting throughout the day on the bbc news channel on those events taking place in dublin. the plane is get ready to head for knock before going back to dublin. directors who dissolve companies to avoid paying workers' wages or pensions could face heavy fines or be banned from running firms, under government proposals. ministers are planning changes in the wake of what they describe as "recent

large—scale business failures", which left suppliers out of pocket and sizeable black holes in pension pots. italy has ended a six—day stand—off involving around 1a0 migrants stranded on a coast guard vessel in a sicilian port. the passengers, mostly eritreans, have been allowed off. they were caught up in an increasingly bitter exchanges between italy and the eu about where the refugees should go. emmerson mnangagwa is due to be sworn in as zimbabwe's president this morning, following the ousting of robert mugabe last year. the ceremony will be held at the national sports stadium in the capital, harare. it's expected to be boycotted by the opposition party, the movement for democratic change — which has claimed the outcome of the election was rigged. let's head to france now — and a festival dedicated to people who share a trait with just 2% of the world's population.

ididn‘t i didn't know that it was as small as 2%. for the first time ever — the country has seen a celebration of people with ginger hair. over a thousand people enjoyed red love festival, which organisers hope will fight discrimination. those are the main stories this morning. and now the latest from the bbc sports centre. there was a bit of a red love festival going on at anfield yesterday as well. if you can still win games while you are not at your best you might be a contender at the end. a very high number of reasons for them to be pleased under what is going on underjurgen klopp at liverpool. liverpool top of the league— three wins from three at the start of the new season.

is this to be liverpool's year? it has been more than six months since they last considered here in the premier league, and on such platforms, a title challenge is built. as he so often does, anfield's egyptian king did his thing. mo salah,1—0. it might not have gone his way in the world cup, but life at liverpool couldn't be better. i have never thought that somebody gives you some before being first on third match day. of course it is not important. the important thing is is that we have nine points after three games, so that is really cool. that is the basis and now, let's carry on. liverpool's gain was city's loss. the reigning premier league champions up against the winners of the championship, wolves, could only muster a draw. but it wasn't without controversy. var anyone? aymeric laporte striking his first for the club to rescue a point. arsenal's unai emery era has its first win, west ham his first mark.

danny welbeck‘s strike sealed the 3—1victory over a team yet to game a single point. bournemouth, meanwhile, are developing something of a south coast steeliness. everton went 2—0 up thanks to theo walcott and michael keane, but quickly saw their lead evaporate. joshua king pulled one back before nathan ake ensured the home side hung onto a spot in the top four. we already know that england star harry maguire can score headers, and now it seems he has a knack from range too. this, his 92nd minute winner at southampton. this season may of course still be young, but it seems that liverpool will be worthy challengers in the race for the premier league title. it has been a while since liverpool last won the title. since 1896, rugby league's challenge cup has been won

only by english teams. but that's not the case any more. catalans dragons — based in perpignan — have become the first non—english team to lift the famous trophy. they beat warrington 201a in a tense wembley final, watched by adam wild. allez, allez, allez! from the south of france, the catalans dragons, officially in sang—et—or, blood and gold, perhaps no more fitting colours for a rugby league final. not in great numbers, but in great hope, becoming the first french side to conquer this english cup. warrington wolves stood in their way but failed to block the channel out wide, with catala ns breaching defences early. the french side's determination to make their mark on history, all too clear, starting the second half as they did the first, this time, wilianier extending their lead. then warrington got the luck they needed when george king gathered this fumble, setting up an agonising finish. catalans just clinging on for an extraordinary victory. and so after 122 years, the catalans dragons have done what was once unthinkable.

they will now head back to the south of france with british rugby league's most famous prize. lewis hamilton will start today's belgian grand prix from pole after coming out on top of a wet end to qualifying at spa. during a chaotic final session hamilton struggled at first, but pulled it together to claim the top spot on the grid ahead of his championship rival sebastian vettel in the ferrari — who hamilton had thought would go fastest. force india surprised everyone, taking both spots on the second row just days after the team were rescued from going out of business. one of the toughest qualifying sessions that i can remember. it seems to get harder and harder all year long. but definitely, i don't know if they definitely had it, we were very, very close. we were split between half a tenth. i was hopeful that i could make that slight difference, but i knew it would be very close,

very quick on the straights. but then the rain came and none of us have been driving this week in the rain, i cannot express to you how difficult it was. the weather looks set to play a big part in today's action at the british motogp — with a potential wet race lying in wait for the riders and fans. britain's cal crutchlow will be aiming to go one better than his second place finish in 2016. he'll start today's race from fourth on the grid. spain'sjorge lorenzo is on pole. the race has been brought forward by 90 minutes to try to avoid the worst of the showers. great britain won three gold medals on the penultimate day of competition at the european para—athletics championships in berlin. it was a british one—two in the t3a 800 metres with hannah cockcroft taking gold, and taking revenge for kare adennegan beating her in the 100 metres on wednesday. cockroftjust held on to add to her paralympic and world titles in the event, but she still wasn't too happy about it! you know what, i thought it would be

more satisfying than it was. another season slowest, we seem to be doing at these championships, which is not what i came here to do. you know what, my old coach said here everybody remembers medals, no one remembers times. when you come here that is all you've got to think about. the worcestershire rapids have secured their place in the semifinals of cricket's t20 blast. they beat gloucestershire by five wickets at new road. the rapids restricted gloucestershire to 137, with brett d'oliveira taking four wickets. the hosts reach their target with eight balls to spare, with callum ferguson making a half—century for the home side. hopefully we'll have some good weather for the final stage. thank you very much indeed. it is not so good at the moment in dublin. we can show you some pictures taken a short

time ago of the pope leaving dublin airport. you can see that it is chucking it down with rain, typically irish weather, i have to say! he is leaving and coming back. he's heading for knock airport in the west of ireland where he is visiting the holy shrine, then we'll talk to reporters before heading back to dublin and a congregation, a mass with half a million people expected in the phoenix park. the weather will play a huge part no doubt in how many people go. the plane that he flies on is called shepherd one. i'm not sure if that is that plain but he came in on that which is the papalflight. he will be meeting people in knock as we discussed before coming back to phoenix park. we were discussing earlier on the programme, the pope also met victims and survivors of abuse by members of the catholic

church. that is live footage from dublin airport where, as you can see, it is raining. and it is very windy. more on that to come. thank you for your pictures of your dogs. it is no exaggeration to say that we have had hundreds. it's often said we're a nation of dog lovers but for author damien dibben, his jack russell dudley is more than just a pet. your dog has inspired several books. yes, it is david dibben by the way. my yes, it is david dibben by the way. my latest novel is narrated by a dog. it is the premise that you have worked dogs in the books for children, and then for adults. this is my first book for adults. it is narrated by a dog who is 217 years

old, and he has been searching for his lost master from 100 years ago, who may or may not also be immortal, and this search takes him through the courts and battlefields of europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, so it is an epic quest and a mystery he must solve as to why he still exists. why were you compelled to write this way? to write this particular book, i mean, essentially, the starting point was that i was having some depressive problems a few years ago and i had to go on this tour of europe to do publicity for my last book, and i took dudley with me. he likes an adventure! off we went on this tour, and it was during this time when i was putting myself back together and i look was putting myself back together and ilook in was putting myself back together and i look in his eyes one day and you know how you sometimes look in a

dog's eyes and they have this ancient look, they look incredibly wise beyond their years, and i looked into his eyes and i had this idea of a dog who didn't dive, and what he had seen and all of the wonders and terrors he had seen, the horrors, and his particular take on humanity. i could not agree with you more about that sense of wisdom and unconditional love that you get when you have a bond with a dog, that can get you through some very grave times. there is something about them, their purity of a relationship with the dog. obviously the relationship with a dog is this thing that has existed in the ward for as long as humans have been here, it goes back so far. it's the early relationship in the animal kingdom that is like that. and the love and the loyalty you get, which goes both ways, and the fact that it keeps everything kind of in perspective on a simpler level, as

well as being great in its nature. this is velvet and daphne. i cannot believe that they have made the big—time! are rescued dogs. we have had lots of photos of little puppies, hopefully people get them from the right kind of breeders but there is a big market for rescued dogs, and many people are committed to trying to help rescue dogs. the fa ct of to trying to help rescue dogs. the fact of the matter is there are so many stray dogs out there. a world population of 60 million stray dogs. and the charity we got these from our cold wild at heart, and they work from abroad in countries with a big stray dog population and they

are working to try and help them, neutering them, and these... you are sort of, you have this story already and it feels great to be able to do something about it. the bbc brea kfast tea m a re something about it. the bbc breakfast team are the real hard workers on this programme, they are here all night getting the programme ready. normally by the last hour they are hoping to wind down, they are quite tired. we are asked for pictures of dogs, and they are working tirelessly, to roll out all of these hundreds of pictures. thank you so much for sending them all in. thomas had been out with his boxer dog, ozzy, and he met a girl, thomas had been out with his boxer dog, ozzy, and he meta girl, and eight years later they have their son, harrison. this is a picture of

body, who is a border collie helping with his owner's recovery from brain surgery. with his owner's recovery from brain surgery. this is tarot was brought home from a rescue centre wayne just 15 kilograms and he was afraid of people. here he is enjoying his new life in mid wales. looks like he is thriving. we can only apologise that we cannot get through all of the pictures. thank you, as well, i had posted on twitter a picture of my dog when i was 11. keep tweeting about dogs. thank you for coming in. thank you very much. if you have a dog you are probably up and about early because you have to take it for a walk. but thomas, anyone walking a dog this morning might get

wet. come rain or shine you have got to get out there and walk the dog. it is not a pretty picture across the west of the uk. it is wet and windy. that will spread to all parts of the uk. this is the radar. let's see where the rain is right now. let's have a look at the radar loop. six hours ago, the rain was here. now it isjust six hours ago, the rain was here. now it is just approaching the north—west of england, central and southern england, so you can see clearly where it is moving from, from the west in an easterly direction so some of these eastern area still looking drive. this is the forecast over the coming hours. by the forecast over the coming hours. by the time we get too much time, that ring will be nudging into the south—east, and the south—east and it really will be quite heavy. we have the wind, it is going to feel quite cool and chilly. across western areas, actually, roundabout apm the weather improves, and there

could be some sunshine in belfast, cardiff, plymouth as well. tonight, the rain is out of the way. skies clearing. just some showers lingering here and there. and the end of the night is looking quite dry, but it must be a bit damp. if you want some sunshine this bank holiday weekend you are in luck for monday, because that weather system is out in the north sea. we are in between weather systems so that means that there is a bit of a lull in their weather. it will feel quite a bit warmer. not completely dry because we have a few showers dotted around for monday, but the vast majority will have a fine monday, with temperatures reaching 20 degrees in the south—east. into the high teens in belfast and glasgow as well as edinburgh. on tuesday the

jet stream is to the north—west. this is where the low pressure is, so this is where the low pressure is, so do the north—west it may turn on settled but notice these orange colours towards the south, coming out of france, wafting up some warmth from the more southern climes, so a beautiful day on tuesday for some and warming up potentially to the mid—205, 23, 2a hol, 2a newcastle, but in the western isles of scotland and eventually northern ireland, we will get a little bit of rain. today not such a great day, but tomorrow, for some, will be ok. whatever you're doing have a great of the weekend. thank you. sunday morning live with sean fletcher and cherry healey is on bbc one at 10:25am. sean and cherry, what do you have on the programme today? the pope is an island, but what is

his track record since being elected, has he been a force for good? as the government announces crackdown on the poppy trade we will be asking if pet ownership is unethical. and we'll be talking to a man who set up the first event more than 60 years ago. fans ofjurassic park will know that to bring dinosaurs back to life, you need to recreate their dna — and now a team of british researchers have pieced together their genetic characteristics by working backwards from their closest modern—day relatives. it does not mean that were going to open up jurassic park it does not mean that were going to open upjurassic park in kent, but thatis open upjurassic park in kent, but that is where the work is being done. they say the breakthrough reveals how they dominated earth for more than 180 million years. our science correspondent pallab ghosh has been finding out. could these scenes from jurassic world really happen? dinosaurs recreated from dna wreaking havoc. geneticist darren griffin has used mathematical techniques to identify the genetic structure of the very first dinosaurs by working backwards

from their closest modern—day relatives, birds and turtles. and so, would he, could he, bring them back to life? if we have some dna, the chances that we could recreate an animal from that are vanishingly small. we didn't really know what the overall structure of a dinosaur genome looked like. as a result of the work that's gone on in this lab, we now have a very close idea and a pretty certainty that it was something very close to a bird. birds are the most diverse species on the planet. they come in so many different shapes and sizes. it's thought that this is because they have 80 chunks of dna, called chromosomes. that's more than three times as many as we have. if dinosaurs have the same genetic structure as birds, than that might explain why there are so many types of dinosaurs. their genetic structure may help to explain why dinosaurs survived so long and are so varied. some are huge.

others were tiny. and some flew. it was their genes that enabled them to adapt to the earth's changing conditions over 100 million years, and they were able to do that far faster than any other kind of animal. the current theory is that a giant asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs when it hit the earth 66 million years ago. the new research suggests that they survived. the fossil evidence now, and our evidence illustrating the genomic structure of dinosaurs, actually reinforces the idea than actually, rather than being distant relatives, they are actually all one and the same and that, actually, the birds that are around us now are dinosaurs. so, it's not a question of whether we can bring them back — they never went away. dinosaur genes enable them to change shape and size quickly and so, survive for hundreds of millions of years.

don't have nightmares. they will not be coming around any time soon! it was billed as the biggest event in youtube history, but last night some fans were left feeling disappointed after a highly anticipated boxing match streamed online ended in a draw. around 800,000 people paid to watch youtube stars ks! and logan paul battle it out in the ring. if you have not heard of them, your kids or grandkids almost certainly will. they'll keep much of the revenue and plans are already in place for a rematch. so is this the future of online entertainment? journalists chris stokel—walker and elena cresci were both at the fight and join us now. was it up to expectations? i assumed that the boxing would be subpar. it wasn't the best. this wasn't about

the boxing. none of this is about the boxing. none of this is about the boxing. none of this is about the boxing. it is almost a soap opera. i liken it to wwe but the action in the ring was real. for months they have been hyping up the beef between these two youtube stars. iam beef between these two youtube stars. i am a cynic. i believe it has been played up a little bit. talking to fans at the arena they very much believe that it was real, that it was really personal, that this was an important fight. and for logan paul it was of kind personal because he had a huge scandal this year with the video in the forest in japan and he is trying to claw back a bit of his career. after the fight he went up to ks! and said, you have saved my career. it is played up but there's a dash of realism in there. people might not know who these two are. chris, can you give a brief history in 60 seconds of what we

need to know about them? they are watched by millions. logan paul has 18 million subscribers, ksi 19 million. so they pay to watch them? they sign up to watch them, they get a notification every time they upload a video. lots of people then watch them. they started their dispute in february. there was a boxing match new cheap between one and joe weller, ksi was the winner in that, and he called out the paul brothers, and they have kind of gone on from then. they have had lots of disputes and videos being posted and arguments going, dis tracks, which are weird rap battles that they have. some of the audience will know exactly who these guys are. many won't. in a nutshell, what do they

post videos about? pretty much their day to day lives. that's how simple it is. ksi became famous posting videos of himself playing fifa. that isa videos of himself playing fifa. that is a video game for anyone who doesn't know. i don't play it. logan paul became famous on a now—defunct platform called vine. you just posted six seconds humorous videos and he was one of the biggest posters on that platform. and he moved the youtube when it closed and bassis moved the youtube when it closed and bass is now, he's on you tube. and they make money by selling advertising on their videos on you tube. youtube takes half of the revenue from every advert. they took a little less than half of this one. if you do the maths, 800,000 people paying $10, £7 50, to watch this. if you multiply that by... last night

was a test case more than a boxing match for these two. how well they will do in terms of attracting people to pay for them to fight in an amateur match, showing basically the price tag on their heads. would you paid for that? i don't know how much it would work as a test case because there were a number of free streams that people had just uploaded to twitch which is normally uploaded to twitch which is normally uploaded for people who are playing games and people who want to watch them, and there were more people watching on the free streams and on the page stream. the internet is used to getting things for free, so it isa used to getting things for free, so it is a struggle, so they might get enough money on merchandising to make it worth it. it could be a way that sports rights could go to streaming. it already happens. twitter have got the rights to nfl games, amazon have the right to sports events as well. we should

just say, the fight ended in a draw! thank you both very much indeed. that's it from us. dan and louise are back tomorrow from 6am. enjoy the rest of your day. and thank you for all of the dog pictures. have a great day and try to stay out of the rain. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines at 9. senatorjohn mccain, the vietnam war hero turned senator and us presidential candidate, has died at the age of 81. tributes have poured in from around the world — former us president barack obama said he was an "american hero". pope francis continues his visit to ireland — after expressing shame over the church's handling of sex abuse crimes. following a meeting with the pope last night, one man said the pontiff had ‘promised consequences‘.

i got the strong impression that no one will be exempted from just penalties. i'm at phoenix
