6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: why the cost of food is set to rise. farmers say this year's wild weather will leave shoppers paying the price at the checkout. two people have been killed and 11 others injured after a shooting injacksonville, florida. could it be the end for wonga? the payday lender says it is considering all its options after reports it is on the brink of collapse. in sport: are they united or not? mourinho‘s mood may change if they beat tottenham tonight. and, after a very soggy sunday, forget about that. the week ahead looking drier, a little bit sunnier and a bit warmer as well. i will have all the details here on break. —— breakfast. it is monday 27 august. our top story this morning: food prices are being tipped to rise as farmers and producers feel
6:01 am
the effects of this year's extreme weather conditons. the cold snap earlier this year followed by the summer heatwave have contributed to the price of some vegetables rising by up to 80% over the last six months, as our reporter katy austin explains. this year, extreme cold has been followed by exceptional heat — a nightmare scenario for many farmers. farming has endured the worst summer drought in living memory, so that's impacted on wheat yields, so milling wheat is in short supply in northern europe, and vegetables in particular having been impacted quite severely, and so they will be in short supply in the coming months. now, an economics research group say farmers‘ costs and a struggle to produce enough is pushing up wholesale vegetable prices, and some dairy prices. for example, between march and july, the farm gate price of carrots went up 80%. there was a 20% rise in the cost of wheat for bread, and the price of onions went up 41%.
6:02 am
the researchers say that has a knock—on effect, and with some other products here and in europe also set to get more expensive, a monthly £7 increase on shopping bills could be around the corner. a spokesperson for the department for environment, food and rural affairs told us it is not only the weather that affects food prices. it says it has taken steps to help affected farmers, and the high temperatures have helped things like fruit and wine. two people have been shot dead by a gunman at a video game tournament in florida. 11 others were injured in the shooting, which happened at an entertainment complex injacksonville, in the north of the state. police say the killer shot himself dead at the scene. andrew plant reports. this was a videogame tournament being streamed live online, young people gathered in a room inside a shopping centre, playing an american football game, when suddenly shots are fired.
6:03 am
we just thought it was a balloon pop, the way it sounded. but then came the realisation, you know, that someone back there is shooting. so just we basically got down and crawled out for our lives. screaming, just shooting, i heard gunshots, people just running, pushing each other, just getting out of the landing. police used social media to warn people to stay away, and to hide if they were trapped inside. they later said they had found the suspected gunman already dead. the single suspect in this case is a white male. this is pending confirmation, but we believe the suspect to be 24—year—old david katz, from baltimore, maryland, and the fbi is assisting us with that leg of the investigation, in baltimore. florida has seen several mass shootings in recent years, including the pulse nightclub in 2016, where 49 people died. it is not clear what prompted this latest shooting. there is speculation that david katz
6:04 am
had just lost a game in the tournament. police say investigations into the motive are ongoing. britain's biggest payday lender, wonga, has said it is considering all options after reports suggested it was on the brink of collapse. it follows a surge in compensation claims against the firm, which has hit profits hard. four years ago the financial conduct authority found wonga's debt collection practices were unfair, and ordered it to pay £2.6 million to compensate 16,000 customers. pope francis has refused to respond to accusations by a former vatican ambassador that he covered up allegations of sexual abuse. an american archbishop makes the claims in an 11—page letter which concludes with a call for the pope to resign. reporters asked pope francis about the accusations as he returned from his two—day visit to ireland, during which he met with abuse survivors and asked the congregation at the open—air mass for forgiveness. the daughter of a couple who died
6:05 am
whilst on holiday in egypt has told the bbc she believes something in their hotel room was to blame for their deaths. susan and john cooper, from burnley, were staying at the steigenberger aqua magic hotel when their daughter, kelly ormerod, discovered them unwell. they died a short while after. egyptian investigators say no trace of poisonous gas has been found in the room. as soon as they went into the bedroom, my daughter said that they could smell something that was a little bit sunny, that wasn't right. all they did really was spray a bit of perfume to eliminate the smell. they then fell asleep, and my father came back to the room an hour later, and my daughter woke up and said she felt very unwell with the smell, and she wanted to come and returned to my room. people are being warned about buying fake versions of well—known cosmetic brands, after toxic chemicals
6:06 am
were found in seized goods. the local government association said hundreds of thousands of pounds‘ worth of goods have been found by councils, and the products could pose serious health risks, including chemical burns and skin rashes. the lga added it costs taxpayers and businesses thousands of pounds every year. a second tribute to remember those killed in the grenfell tower fire will take place today, on the second day of the notting hill carnival. the event is being policed by 7,000 officers today, the highest number for six years. metal detectors are also in place in an attempt to reduce the risk of knife crime. it is hoped the measures will make the carnival safer and more enjoyable for everyone. campaign group the people's vote, which wants a referendum on a final brexit deal, is attempting to change labour party policy on the issue, according to a leaked memo. the group plans to push for a debate on the matter at next
6:07 am
month's party conference. let's find out more from our political correspondentjonathan blake. so are we at some stage likely to see a policy change? well, it is possible, that is certainly what people's vote want. they say people should get a final say on the brexit deal if one is agreed with eu officials in brussels. the government has ruled that out, so labour are their best hope. what they are hoping to do is get enough labour party members on side and supportive of this change in policy to get the issue debated and potentially voted on at labour's conference next month. although it is not labour's policy to call for a second referendum, it is a little bit vague what they are saying, and there is the potential, at least they are leaving the door open to that in the future. the trouble is people's vote know that this will be seen as people's vote know that this will be seen as an people's vote know that this will be seen as an effort to destabilise the leadership ofjeremy corbyn. they are specifically saying this is not
6:08 am
the case, so if they can get this debated at conference it could potentially change labour's policy. it also could end up alienating some labour voters who supported racks that in the first place. but of those things happen it could have a big impact on the debate around and the chances of there being a second referendum. two killer whales have been rescued after becoming stranded on separate beaches in argentina. both of the orcas had been swept ashore close to the capital, buenos aires. dozens of people volunteered to help, and finally, after several hours, the animals were able to return to the sea. did you see that video from a whale spotting vote, some guy was told they might see whales, and there was one in the distance, and while they
6:09 am
we re one in the distance, and while they were filming at an absolute whopper came out of the sea and splashed them all. good morning, chris. and we are starting at old trafford. we are talking about mourinho, only his third week into the season and he is one of the favourites to be sacked. i like the were you say that. one of the favourites... to be sacked. which i find incredible given he has only been there for a couple of yea rs. only been there for a couple of years. this is what mourinho does. he did it at chelsea and real madrid, he doesn't hang around for too long, and all the signs are there that he could be in trouble. arguments with the chief executive, with his top players, so if they lose tonight the talk will only gain in volume. manchester united play their first game since losing against brighton last weekend. that defeat got us all talking about the pressure on manager jose mourinho, and how long he might have left there. united play tottenham tonight. tottenham are looking to maintain their 100% start to the season.
6:10 am
yesterday mourinho's former club, chelsea, maintained their perfect start to the season with a 2—1 win against newcastle at st james' park. agonisingly, newcastle losing out to a late own—goal. nobody was hurt in this crash, but driver nico hulkenberg has been given a ten—place grid penalty for the next formula one race after causing this humdinger at the start of the belgian grand prix. he smashed into the back of fernando alonso, who then collided with charles leclerc. sebastian vettel won the race, cutting lewis hamilton's championship lead to 17 points. great britain's men have won gold at the wheelchair basketball world championships. they beat the usa in the final to win their first—ever global title. and that is the sport. great news for british basketball. and you will hang around for the papers in a moment. first it is time for the

6:13 am
of scotla nd that weather front towards the west of scotland will push across northern ireland in scotland through the night, taking us through the night into wednesday. we will have to watch the potential for some thundery showers clipping the south—east corner and east anglia overnight and it is a first part of wednesday morning. potentially some heavy rain here, that is one thing we will have the keep a close eye on. a few showers pushing across england and wales. even though it will be a cloudy day than tuesday, with a few showers around, a lot of dry weather and quite a bit of sunshine for the north and west later in the day, even if the temperatures take a bit of a dip. as for the rest of the week, high—pressure continuing to dominate and through thursday, friday and into the weekend as well, most places staying dry. some good long sunny spells for most, especially the further south and east you are. temperatures holding in the high teens and low 20s, maybe getting into the mid—20s a bit more widely as we go into the end of the weekend and the start of next week. certainly after that wet weather yesterday, lastly improved week ahead. i will have more details throughout the morning. thank you

6:22 am
side story, conducted by marin alsop, who took up the baton after seeing bernstein conducting when she was nine years old. a decade or so later, he took her on as his pupil. i was terrified to meet him, because i didn't want to lose that idol i had. this is such a surprise. beautiful and warm. so you cut this off. but there's a hole. but he exceeded all my expectations, and that's so rare in a hero. and clearly a visionary, and in a way, him taking you on was a visionary act. because it was unusual for a young woman... 0h, forsure. ...to want to be a conductor. he was at the forefront of feeling that women should be able to do this. i mean, i'm not sure he ever came to terms with it, because it was so foreign, still, to him. i remember one rehearsal at tanglewood, and he was sitting out there and i went out and i said "maestro, what's wrong, is something wrong?" he said, "i can't figure it out. when i close my eyes i can't tell you're a woman." so i said, "listen, if you want to keep your eyes closed during my concerts, i don't mind." i think sometimes we underestimate our audiences.
6:23 am
sometimes wejust say, just sit there and don't clap. just sit there and don't cough. that's ridiculous. my feeling is, look, this is a big task i'm challenging you with. if you need to cough, go ahead, but thank you for listening. if you had a magic wand, and you could do one thing... i do have a magic wand. i'm sorry, you do have a magic wand! with your magic wand, if you could turn around and conduct the world, what is one thing you could change about classical now, to enable it to reach more people? i would ask every classical musician to think about opening the doors wide, whether it's through the internet, through recording, through television, and let's share, instead of trying to hold it tight. applause

yesterday, the bank holiday is looking much drier. still in a fairly moist west to north—westerly airflow, that would generate large amounts of cloud. a few bright and sunny spells, the best of which will be around for time this morning because the day wears on that cloud will build and flatten out, the chance of an isolated shower to this afternoon but most will stay dry despite large amounts of cloud. and that will breeze this morning will ease down, singing highs between 19 and 21 celsius. dry through this evening and overnight, that cloud thinning and braking to bring lengthier clear spells, temperatures holding up to around 11 and 13 celsius. tomorrow looks to be a dry day, more in the way of sunshine tomorrow. light wind and feeling a little bit warmer, thejuicy tomorrow. light wind and feeling a little bit warmer, the juicy a few showers around for time on wednesday but essentially too much of this

6:31 am
like a balloon pop. then we heard the other shots, and never in else came out, afraid of their lives. screaming, just shooting, i heard gunshots, people just running, pushing each other, just getting out of the landing. iseena i seen a grown i seen a grown man i seen a grown man shot, like, terrified. i had never seen a grown man so terrified. i had never seen a grown man so terrified. politicians wake up, because the people that you're supposed to be representing a dying. stop sitting on your buts, stop collecting cheques and do something. you guys are voted into office for a reason. britain's biggest payday lender, wonga, has said it is considering all options after reports suggested it was on the brink of collapse. it follows a surge in compensation claims against the firm, which has hit profits hard. four years ago the financial conduct authority found wonga's debt collection practices were unfair, and ordered it to pay £2.6 million to compensate a5,000 customers. pope francis has refused to respond to accusations by a former vatican ambassador that he covered up allegations of sexual abuse. an american archbishop makes the claims in an 11—page letter which concludes with a call for the pope to resign.

6:33 am
with the smell, and she wanted to come and return to my room. campaign group the people's vote, which wants a referendum on a final brexit deal, is attempting to change labour party policy on the issue, according to a leaked memo. labour's current position is to respect the result of the 2016 referendum, but the campaign group plans to push for a debate on the matter at next month's party conference. people are being warned about buying fake versions of well—known cosmetic brands, after toxic chemicals were found in seized goods. the local government association said hundreds of thousands of pounds' worth of goods have been found by councils, and the products could pose serious health risks, including chemical burns and skin rashes. the lga added it costs taxpayers and businesses thousands of pounds every year. a second tribute to remember those killed in the grenfell tower fire will take place today, on the second day of the notting hill carnival. the event is being policed by 7,000 officers today, the highest number for six years.
6:34 am
metal detectors are also in place in an attempt to reduce the risk of knife crime. it is hoped the measures will make the carnival safer and more enjoyable for everyone. and hopefully the weather will be a little bit better today, because it was quite dramatic yesterday. the weather for you is to come, but chris is here looking at the we can's sport. and a —— weekend's sport. and a bit more from this chap. yes, there is talk about zidane coming in, arguments with his bosses, with the players, and it adds up to a fairly unhappyjose. if they beat tottenham tonight, i think some of that will dissipate. if they lose, my
6:35 am
goodness. all eyes on jose. mourinho's manchester united play tottenham later, and the pressure is stacking up — reports that he is not getting on with his bosses or his star players. there was that defeat to brighton last week. he is actually one of the favourites to become the first manager sacked this season. he turned up early for his news conference ahead of tonight's match, and didn't stick around for long, but he made it clear what he expects from his players. a winning style. don't make defensive mistakes. the dominant, create chances, score goals, and go home with the three points. we want to win all the time. you want to play well all the time. you don't wa nt to play well all the time. you don't want to make mistakes. that's what you always want. chelsea maintained their winning start to the premier league season, but they had a bit of luck to come out 2—1 winners at newcastle. the blues snatched all three points late in the game, when deandre yedlin scored an own—goal, and he knew it was over. fulham have their first win
6:36 am
since earning promotion back to the premier league. this stunner from seri was the pick of the bunch, as they beat burnley a—2 at craven cottage. even the crosses are going in for watford these days. jose holebas luckily found the top corner to seal their 2—1 win over crystal palace. three wins out of three now for watford, who join chelsea and liverpool at the top of the table. in the scottish premiership, rangers are still unbeaten under steven gerrard, but motherwell were the ones celebrating at fir park. rangers led 3—2 in the final moments of the game, but motherwell rescued a point when peter hartley scored from a corner. in the day's other game, celtic beat hamilton 1—0. lewis hamilton's formula one championship lead has been cut to 17 points, after sebastian vettel won a chaotic belgian grand prix. nico hulkenberg admitted he was too late on to the brakes at the first corner in spa, where he smashed
6:37 am
into the back of fernando alonso, whose car then careered over the cockpit of charles leclerc. all three were unharmed, the latter saying the new halo safety device which was introduced at the start of the season helped. sebastian vettel overtook hamilton moments after the crash, and held on to win by 11 seconds. we ultimately performed quite well this weekend, but i mean, he drove past me like i wasn't even there on the straights. so we've got to keep pushing as hard as we can to try and see if we can catch up, but... you know, that's all i can say. no such drama at silverstone, where heavy rain meant the british motogp was cancelled for the first time in almost a0 years, and instead we got tractor racing, of sorts. eventually, they had to admit defeat. it is the first time since 1980 the race has been cancelled outright. teams and officials decided against trying to race today due to a lack of marshals. brilliant weekend for
6:38 am
british basketball. the men won the wheelchair basketball world championships, beating the usa in the final. the gb team claimed a 79—62 win over the rio paralympic champions, for what is their first global gold medal. it adds to the silver medal won by the women's team, in what has been a very successful tournament for britain. just played against some of my idols, growing up. guys are literally used to look up to and watch when i was growing up. so do be competing against them, to come out victorious, the best team in the world, is ridiculous. there was more gold for great britain on the final day of the european athletics championships in berlin yesterday. aled davies won the men's shotput with a distance of 15 metres a9 centimetres, a new comptition record.

so it is double gold for davies, as he won the f6a discus last week. there was also gold for 18—year—old thomas young in the men's t38100 metres. that completed the sprint double for young, as he won the t38 200 metres saturday. great britain also won the ax100 universal rely to claim their 20th gold of the championships. the catalans dragons players have returned home to a heroes welcome after pulling off one of the biggest upsets in rugby league history. these were the scenes at the airport as steve mcnamara's players touched down in france. they beat warrington wolves at wembley to win theirfirst challenge cup on saturday. no team from outside england had ever won the trophy in its 122—year history. this is what you could become if you do well at maths. britain's gary hunt, a mathematical wizard, has won the cliff diving world series event in copenhagen over the weekend.
6:40 am
27 metres up, on the roof of the danish capital's opera house. hunt's final dive consisted of three back somersaults and four twists. he's a skilled juggler, a gifted piano player, studied criminoligy but no — he wanted to dive. we met him and he was talking about a new dive he was working on. we met him and he was talking about a new dive he was working onlj we met him and he was talking about a new dive he was working on. i am not sure that is the most difficult one he does, but he is known for doing the most difficult dive in cliff diving. and now to another kind of diving — it is the old game of chess but you've never seen it quite like this before. the world dive chess championships took place in london over the weekend. diving chess is like normal chess but, you've guessed it, played in a swimming pool with a submerged chessboard. each player can only think as long as they are able to hold their breath. so you only get one breath to make a
6:41 am
move? and you can't go down with a sneaky snorkel, that would be cheating. i have no idea why this happens or how it came into being. what we do need to send mike bushell. you took the words out of my mouth! you know how they say something doesn't qualify as a sport u nless something doesn't qualify as a sport unless you have to get changed for it? he is doing his keep fit at the same time. but that is not chess. it is not sport, but it's fantastic. more on one of our top stories this morning — two people have been killed and 11 wounded after a gunman opened fire during a video game tournament injacksonville, florida. jenese harris is a television reporter who has been at the scene. we can speak to her on the phone now. good morning. thank you so much for
6:42 am
joining us. tell us how much you know, and what you can about what happened in this incident. well, a very devastating day in jacksonville, florida. we are now approaching 12 hours since this mass shooting happened. we will give you an idea of everything which happened leading up to this moment. it is now 1:a2am hit. there is still an active scene of investigation happening at the jacksonville landing. this all began at around 1:35pm eastern time here in jacksonville, began at around 1:35pm eastern time here injacksonville, florida. 0ur 911 emergency call arrived, and then they began to flood in. police arrived and found this mass shooting. we have been told by police that three people are dead, that includes the suspect who police say is a 2a—year—old man by the name of david katz. there are also nine people that are injured with gunshot
6:43 am
wounds, and two others with injuries. we have also found out through the fbi, the federal bureau of investigations, that david katz is from baltimore. the fbi went to his home earlier today with the intention of raiding his home at some point today. we have not received confirmation whether that raid has happened but we were told it will happen at some point within sunday. we are now going into monday morning. we know that now, because of that, this makes it a multistate investigation. we have seen photos of some of the victims in the hospitals who have survived. we are still trying to get more from eyewitnesses here on the ground, but a very devastating day here in jacksonville. now, you also mentioned that this shooting, this mass shooting, happened during an actual video gaming event. and there was a video that was sent to us, probably within an hour of this mass
6:44 am
shooting happening, because the gaming competition was on a live stream. people can watch it online. so you see on the screen of someone playing american football, talking back and forth as people typically do during these video gaming competitions, and suddenly you begin to hear gunshots, one after another. people began to become dishevelled, running, screaming, one person saying what did he shoot me with? a very dramatic, tragic and heartbreaking day here in jacksonville, florida, jacksonville, florida now being added to the list of other mass shootings that have happened in this state. you might recall the parkland shooting in high school, and also the shooting in 0rlando at the pulse nightclub about two years ago. i was going to say, florida has had a bad record, a disturbing record of mass shootings. and now, because of this mass
6:45 am
shooting, the discussion is coming up shooting, the discussion is coming up again, something that has been happening here in the states, about gun control. you can expect to hear, in the states, this debate come back up in the states, this debate come back up again because of this mass shooting. it typically happens when a mass shooting like this happens. thank you very much indeed for speaking to us on what has been a very difficult night for you. thank you very much. it is quarter to seven. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. the good news is it is not go to be anywhere near it was yesterday. inch and a half across parts of wales. through this week, nowhere near as wet, no rain around, high—pressure meets dry —— means dry weather and for some of you will feel warmer thanit for some of you will feel warmer than it did yesterday. yesterday's
6:46 am
cloud and green has now pushed its way off into northern europe. 0ur error of the atlantic, warmer than yesterday, some good breaks out there, sunny spells we found across southern and eastern areas. showers in the north—west, one or two showers elsewhere. may be in the west but with that risk in the end there will be a noticeable breeze, some showers making their way eastwards but a majority staying dry. into the afternoon, temperatures well into the teens across scotland and northern ireland, big improvement on yesterday. 10— 1a degrees here. isolated showers, one or two to the coast, southern areas staying dry. showers in north—west england, close to the leeds carnival, sunniest weather into the afternoon will be across parts of south—west england due towards the channel islands. sunshine will come out elsewhere and
6:47 am
temperatures around 21 or talk you do. —— 22. any clouds we have will fade away. thank you clear skies and a little bit fresher in that my morning departed is in scotland and parts of eastern england. single figure temperatures here. by the morning we will see rain and tuesday could be wet and windy across the western isles, but most of uk will stay dry. the best of the sunshine across england and wales. a bit more cloud into the afternoon and cloud into scotland as the rain makes its way towards the highland. temperatures in the mid— teens but a degree or two up on yesterday. as we go through tuesday into wednesday, the weather front will work southway —— southwards but watched in two the start of wednesday, the internet —— the potential of heavy and thundery showers for the south—east. a morning feature if they arrive on oui’ morning feature if they arrive on our shores, clearing away. there is the weather front pushing across
6:48 am
southwards and eastwards. sunny spells, a brighter day for western scotla nd spells, a brighter day for western scotland and northern ireland on wednesday. temperatures drop back a little bit, 15 or 17 degrees here. towards the end of the week and into the weekend, high pressure builds substantially. very few if any showers around. this place is staying dry and those in the warm, temperatures high teens, low 20s into next week we could see them creep into the mid— 20s for one or two days. a big improvement on what we saw yesterday. you are trying to make us forget how miserable it really was. it is forgotten. it stop raining at about six. it is 6:a8am. when faced with financial hardship, thousands of people across the country have sometimes found themselves turning to pay day loan companies for help. but, britain's biggest pay day lender wonga, is now said to be in financial difficulties of its own, after being ordered to pay millions in compensation claims. let's talk to financial expert
6:49 am
jasmine birtles who's in our london newsroom. jasmine, what does this mean for the payday loan industry? as you know, for some years wonga was the poster boy for payday loans companies. it was everywhere, it had adverts everywhere and it gave out huge amounts of short—term payday loa ns. huge amounts of short—term payday loans. but then in 201a, things changed. the fca put restrictions on and insisted that it and other payday loans companies pay compensation to various people, particularly those who had had to roll over their loans. as you know, payday loans are supposed to be paid within a few days but if you had to roll over and pay more and more interest or if it shows that you had to borrow from other places to pay this original loan off, then people we re this original loan off, then people were entitled to compensation and
6:50 am
even some loans were written off completely. so now the claims management companies, people who go and get your ppi get this sort of compensation, they have got in and they encouraged a lot of people to go and get this compensation. this, together with a restructuring of the company which meant they become smaller, they don't have so many loa ns, smaller, they don't have so many loans, this has meant that the future is looking extremely uncertain now fought wonga, to the point where they are saying they may have to go into administration. we have to go into administration. we have got viewers watching this may be thinking i have got a loan with wonga at the moment, how would this affect them? well it probably wouldn't affect them in terms of having to pay it back. you think maybe if the company went down then you wouldn't have to pay the loan back, sadly that is not the case. the administrators, if this happens,
6:51 am
if english traitors come in they will continue the business, continue to say sorry you have to pay us back. there might even be a little bit firmer —— they might even be a little bit firmer just so the bit firmer —— they might even be a little bit firmerjust so the books balanced. if they were to go into administration, he said they are the biggest of these sorts of companies. does somebody just come biggest of these sorts of companies. does somebodyjust come in and fill that gap or does it shake the industry? it shakes the industry a little but thankfully the high cost short—term loans business is doing very well. even wonga moved to 3—6 month loans, rather than these overnight things. there is lots out there. there are lots of high cost credit companies, partly because we still have a relatively lax environment for lenders and frankly because there is lot of desperation out there. there are a lot of families that are in high—cost
6:52 am
rented accommodation, they don't have furniture, they are having to grow to get furniture in, they are having to borrow quite often just to get through day—to—day. and those who have poor credit very often have to go to the high cost lenders. so there are already a lot of companies, there are companies that maybe we haven't heard of quotes a much, you wouldn't have heard of u nless much, you wouldn't have heard of unless you in that sort of situation. —— you were in that situation. —— you were in that situation. they are all right but i think the fact that wonga is shaking might makea think the fact that wonga is shaking might make a lot of them make sure that they are lending within the rules, which for some time in the past they were not. that is jason bi rtles past they were not. that is jason birtles talking about wonga, who find themselves in a spot of bother. ——jazmine. good morning to everyone.
6:53 am
shopping online has become the norm for millions of us. almost one in five sales are now made on the internet rather than on the high street. it means there's been a building boom in retail distribution centres that get our products to us. warehouse space has doubled injust a decade. here's our business correspondent emma simpson. it's big business delivering parcels. these days, most of them contain our internet shopping. it's 9pm at dhl‘s vast depot at east midlands airport and things are getting busy. each night we process 190,000 shipments through this facility. and it is growing. dhl has invested or than £150 million, expanding this site to keep up with demand. it has changed incredibly. a few years the we wouldn't have seen any e—commerce or online shipping products coming to this organisation, now we are seeing the
6:54 am
consent of the uk volume is all e—commerce. what does that tell you? it tells us that is the way forward, thatis it tells us that is the way forward, that is where the future is. location is key. this region is making the weight —— making the most of its good connections, next door, a vast distribution park is taking shape. the east midlands gateway, high street shops may be shopping, but this part of retail is growing at rakeback speed. was commissioned research, which shows that over the last decade 235 million square feet of warehouse space has been leased 01’ of warehouse space has been leased or ought. that is double compared with the previous decade and more than half of it has been built from scratch. late this. and a proportion going to retail has doubled too. with 2018 set to be a record year. 0ver there is the airport. the boss
6:55 am
told me there are now almost as many planes with cargo as passengers. passenger flight tend to be during the daytime hours, then what happens overnight, we really come to life with the cargo activity, which is all about that next day delivery. and so we see phenomenal growth, maybe 19, 20 planes per hour that is literally bringing cargo in or taking it out in the country, ready for that next day. our changing shopping habits are creating thousands of new, very differentjob and infrastructure. a journey thousands of new, very differentjob and infrastructure. ajourney which still has a long way to run. emma simpson, bbc news, east midlands airport. things are changing. it is 630 —— it is 6:55am. we are here, as ever. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. see you in a moment. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye.
6:56 am
a 36—year—old man's been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after two women were stabbed in east london. the first woman, who is in her 60s, was attacked in chariot close on friday evening. a 57 year old woman was stabbed last night in parnell road. both women needed hospital treatment. a second man was arrested yesterday and has been released pending further enquiries. a 72—second silence will take place at notting hill carnival later to remember those who lost their lives in the grenfell tower fire. more than two million people are expected across the two day event. organisers say the emphasis is on having fun, but it's important to remember those died just half a mile from the parade route. we are going to do a 72 second of silence, which is in respect of the 72 that died in the grenfell tower tragedy. grenfell and the local community around the grenfell tower are very much part of our community. ladbroke grove is a tightknit community and we will always show support to our neighbours and community. there are calls for
6:57 am
islington council to re—think the positioning of some of its electric vehicle charging points. the chargers were introduced to encourage cleaner modes of transport. but some residents have complained about their location on pavements, the sound they make and lights shining into peoples' homes. let's have a look at the travel situation now. the district line is part suspended between parsons green and wimbledon due to planned engineering works. the 0verground is also part suspended between barking and south tottenham, euston to kilburn high road and surrey quays to clapham junction again because of planned engineering works. finally the waterloo and city line is closed all day. no trains to or from euston due to major network rail works. in the westend, regent street is closed in both directions between glasshouse street and shaftesbury avenue because of an accident. finally in victoria,
6:58 am
the traffic lights are not working on neathouse place at the junction with bridge place. lets have a check on the weather now with alina jenkins. good morning. after a wet day yesterday, the bank holiday is looking much drier. still in a fairly moist west to north—westerly airflow, that will generate quite large amounts of cloud. there will be a few bright and sunny spells, the best of which will be around for time this morning because the day wears on that cloud will tend to build and flatten out, perhaps the chance of an isolated shower through this afternoon, but most will stay largely dry, despite quite large amounts of cloud. a noticeable breeze this morning will tend to ease down, seeing highs between 19 and 21 celsius. dry through this evening and overnight, that cloud thinning and breaking to bring lengthier clear spells, temperatures will hold up to between 11 and 13 celsius. tomorrow looks to be a dry day, in fact, more in the way of sunshine tomorrow.
6:59 am
light winds and feeling a little bit warmer, good to see a few showers around for time on wednesday, but essentially too much of this week it is staying dry. some sunshine and feeling a little bit warmer. bye— bye. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: why the cost of food is set to rise. farmers say this year's wild weather will leave shoppers paying the price at the checkout. with a big freeze and a heatwave, the cost of what is in your shopping basket is predicted to rise imminently. farmers warn that meat, vegetable and dairy produce are all affected. two people have been killed and 11 others injured after a shooting injacksonville, florida. could it be the end for wonga? the payday lender says it is considering all its options after reports it is
7:00 am
on the brink of collapse. in sport: upsetting the odds. great britain's men win the world wheelchair basketball title. gb break the united states' four—year—long winning streak to take the title. and after a soggy sunday, today is looking drier, sunny and warm, with just one or two showers. i will have all the details here and break is. —— on breakfast. it is monday 27 august. our top story this morning: food prices are being tipped to rise as farmers and producers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather conditons. the cold snap earlier this year followed by the summer heatwave have contributed to the price of some vegetables rising by up to 80% over the last six months, as our reporter katy austin explains. this year, extreme cold has been followed by exceptional heat — a nightmare scenario for many farmers. farming has endured the worst summer drought in living memory,
7:01 am
so that's impacted on wheat yields, so milling wheat is in short supply in northern europe, and vegetables in particular having been impacted quite severely, and so they will be in short supply in the coming months. now, an economics research group say farmers' costs and a struggle to produce enough is pushing up wholesale vegetable prices, and some dairy prices. for example, between march and july, the farm gate price of carrots went up 80%, there was a 20% rise in the cost of wheat for bread, and the price of onions went up a1%. the researchers say that has a knock—on effect, and with some other products here and in europe also set to get more expensive, a monthly £7 increase on shopping bills could be around the corner. a spokesperson for the department for environment, food and rural affairs told us it is not only the weather that
7:02 am
affects food prices. it says it has taken steps to help affected farmers, and the high temperatures have helped things like fruit and wine. to find out more about this, we have sent holly hamilton to a farm near warrington. it is not the best weather this morning. what sort of situation other farmers morning. what sort of situation otherfarmers in? morning. what sort of situation other farmers in? good morning. absolutely right. this is a perfect example of what farmers have been dealing with. if you think back to the heat wave, it certainly seems like a distant memory right now, and even my father, who is a farmer, he was longing for some rain during that heat wave, and it has come with some despair, obviously followed by the big freeze during the winter. a farmer told me it already has had a huge effect on his crop. some of the wheat crops in the distance you can see behind me should be really up to your waist, but they are only knee height. physically you can see the difference that has made, and you
7:03 am
heard in that report that that will have an effect on your shopping basket. we are talking about around £7.15 per month, a little bit more if you are a fan of an irish stew, foods like potato and letters, a lot of the stables you would find in your shopping trolley, and it is not just vegetables —— lettuce. this weather has had a huge impact on grass growth, so a lot of farmers having to dip into reserves to feed their cattle, for example. so the likes of butter, milk, that will be affected as well. this is something you might not see straightaway. this will have an effect in the coming months, so it could be around the next 18 months we will see a steady rise, around a fifth. it is not a small amount, really, and with everything else that is going on politically, farmers do have a lot of cause for concern at the moment. we will be hearing more on that later in the programme. we will be back with holly with some guests
7:04 am
later in the programme. two people have been shot dead by a gunman at a video game tournament in florida. 11 others were injured in the shooting, which happened at a gaming event injacksonville, in the north of the state. police say the killer shot himself dead at the scene. andrew plant reports. this was a videogame tournament being streamed live online, young people gathered in a room inside a shopping centre, playing an american football game, when suddenly shots are fired. just thought it was a balloon pop, the way it sounded. but then came the realisation, you know, that someone back there is shooting. so just we basically got down and crawled out, for our lives. screaming, just shooting, i heard gunshots, people just running, pushing each other, just getting out of the landing. police used social media to warn people to stay away, and to hide if they were trapped inside. they later said they had found the suspected gunman already dead. the single suspect in this case is a white male.
7:05 am
this is pending confirmation, but we believe the suspect to be 2a—year—old david katz, from baltimore, maryland, and the fbi is assisting us with that leg of the investigation, in baltimore. florida has seen several mass shootings in recent years, including the pulse nightclub in 2016, where a9 people died. it is not clear what prompted this latest shooting. there is speculation that david katz had just lost a game in the tournament. police say investigations into the motive are ongoing. britain's biggest payday lender, wonga, has said it is considering all options after reports suggested it was on the brink of collapse. it follows a surge in compensation claims against the firm, which has hit profits hard. four years ago, the financial conduct authority found wonga's debt collection practices were unfair, and ordered it to pay £2.6 million to compensate a5,000 customers. pope francis has refused to respond to accusations by a former vatican
7:06 am
ambassador that he covered up allegations of sexual abuse. an american archbishop makes the claims in an 11—page letter which concludes with a call for the pope to resign. reporters asked pope francis about the accusations as he returned from his two—day visit to ireland. during the trip he met with abuse survivors, and asked the congregation at an open—air mass for forgiveness. the daughter of a couple who died whilst on holiday in egypt has told the bbc she believes something in their hotel room was to blame for their deaths. susan and john cooper from burnley were staying at the steigenberger aqua magic hotel when their daughter, kelly 0rmerod, discovered them unwell. they died a short while after. egyptian investigators say no trace of poisonous gas has been found in the room. as soon as they went into the bedroom, my daughter said that they could smell something that was a little bit funny, that wasn't right. all they did really was spray
7:07 am
a little bit of perfume to try and eliminate the smell. they then fell asleep, and my father came back to the room an hour later, and my daughter woke up and said she felt very unwell with the smell, and she wanted to come and return to my room. campaign group the people's vote, which wants a referendum on a final brexit deal, is attempting to change labour party policy on the issue, according to a leaked memo. labour's current posision is to respect the result of the 2016 referendum, but the campaign group plans to push for a debate on the matter at next month's party conference. people are being warned about buying fake versions of well—known cosmetic brands, after toxic chemicals were found in seized goods. the local government association said hundreds of thousands of pounds' worth of goods have been found by councils, and the products could pose serious health risks, including chemical burns and skin rashes. the lga added it costs taxpayers and businesses thousands of pounds every year. a second tribute to remember those killed in the grenfell tower fire
7:08 am
will take place today, on the second day of the notting hill carnival. the event is being policed by 7,000 officers today, the highest number for six years. metal detectors are also in place in an attempt to reduce the risk of knife crime. it is hoped the measures will make the carnival safer and more enjoyable for everyone. two killer whales have been rescued after becoming stranded on separate beaches in argentina. both of the orcas had been swept ashore close to the capital, buenos aires. dozens of people volunteered to help, and finally, after several hours, the animals were able to return to the sea. what beautiful animals. let's hope they returned safely as well. we have been following for the past few months the story of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. she is a british—iranian charity worker who has beenjailed in iran since 2016 on spying charges, which she denies. she was temporarily freed over
7:09 am
the weekend to spend time with her four—year—old daughter, but she has returned to prison voluntarily after an extension to her release was denied. her husband, richard, said she chose to return with her head held high. we can talk to him now. thank you so much forjoining us. let's talk a little bit about the weekend, because i know it has been incredibly emotional for everybody. and just tell us about seeing her daughter, what was that like? yes, that's right. it's been an up—and—down weekend, and we had a lovely couple of days where nazanin came out of prison and i got to see herfor the came out of prison and i got to see her for the first came out of prison and i got to see herfor the first time came out of prison and i got to see her for the first time on skype, she got to see gabriela, they had family meals, and she got to sleep next to her. so it was lovely, in that sense. and we were hoping that it was the beginning of a new start, and that it was just three days initially, but normally that gets extended for many more days. so we
7:10 am
went on saturday very confident, we went on saturday very confident, we went down yesterday very confident that it was going to be extended, and she came back yesterday lunchtime calling me and telling me i haven't yet got the paper, but it looks like it is going to happen, and she got called back and said no, back to prison. and she went back voluntarily, to make it somewhat less painful for gabriela? yes, that's right. so we had a discussion about it. her lawyer had said, listen, you can alwaysjust about it. her lawyer had said, listen, you can always just wait until they pick you up, but we felt that, i mean, they had notified the embassy that she was going to be brought back in, and they were obviously serious then. and it was traumatic enough for gabriela, so it was nice to be able to say goodbye to her properly rather than have someone come to her properly rather than have someone come in the middle of the night and wake her up and dragged her out. nazanin said she wanted to go back in the prison with her head held high, so it was a very sad thing to make party, and hopefully we will see what the future brings. and these are all the things you mentioned about going to her nursery, all the rest of it, these
7:11 am
are normal things that any mum can do, and so desperate to be able to do, and so desperate to be able to do that just do, and so desperate to be able to do thatjust for do, and so desperate to be able to do that just for three do, and so desperate to be able to do thatjust for three days. do, and so desperate to be able to do that just for three dayslj do, and so desperate to be able to do thatjust for three days. i think it was lovely. 0ne do thatjust for three days. i think it was lovely. one of the things she obviously is most hurt by is the fa ct obviously is most hurt by is the fact that two years has passed and she has not been able to be with gabriela and see her grow up. so to be able to do those normal things of reading her peter rabbit stories and doing some drawing with her and sleeping next to her, and gabriela waking up in the morning, was all lovely. she was pretty low going back on of course, because she had that small taste of freedom. and the family were pretty low as well. we will just have family were pretty low as well. we willjust have to see how the next few days go. and what is the process ? few days go. and what is the process? i know all along the way the processors have changed, have been confusing. do you know what the process is now, what is likely to happen next? not at all. i think it was a very good sign that she was released, and a bad sign that it has lasted so little time. it felt like with the sort of mixed messages we
7:12 am
we re with the sort of mixed messages we were getting that there were parts of the regime that were clearly not co mforta ble of the regime that were clearly not comfortable letting her out. they we re comfortable letting her out. they were getting daily phone calls from her interrogators, and threats, as well. so i think we need to take a stark look at what happens, and i am thankful that the voices have been very strong in calling for her release and saying she shouldn't be imprisoned. we need to understand why it wasn't extended. you are saying jeremy hunt tweeted his support, didn't he? do you think, there has been a change of foreign secretary, that there has been a slight change in the diplomacy surrounding this case? slight change in the diplomacy surrounding this case ?|j slight change in the diplomacy surrounding this case? i think he has been very clear in the gravity and the severity and the priority which he attaches to nazanin's case. of course, nazanin's case is not unique to their other families, and i appreciate that he has been clear in saying it is unfair, and that her treatment is appalling. so his tone has been different, and yes, we will see. i mean, it had positive effects
7:13 am
initially, if only briefly. but yes, i think we need to see what is next. we know she is back now. what are conditions like in the prison she is held in? well, so... i mean, iwould imagine that she was back into the ward and, you know, clearly everyone was expecting her to be away for a while. it is a room with people there that will try and support her through it. but i don't think she is backin through it. but i don't think she is back in solitary or anything like that. thank you very much for joining us, as ever, here on bbc brea kfast. joining us, as ever, here on bbc breakfast. thank you. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: farmers are warning that food prices are set to rise following this year's extreme weather conditions. two people have been killed in a shooting at a video game tournament in florida, the third in the state since 2016. here is matt with a look at this morning's weather.
7:14 am
for many, it was pretty miserable yesterday. what is happening today? look, i have found something. some of you are certainly not seeing yesterday. better sunshine on the east coast of yorkshire in the past hour or so. there will be a lot more in the way of the sunshine than yesterday. looking dry as high pressure starts to build and compete yesterday temperatures up a little bit, not desperately hot at feeling more pleasant than it did as the rain came to a yesterday afternoon. the cloud that at yesterday ‘s green into the north of europe, quite a bit of cloud at times and there will bea bit of cloud at times and there will be a few showers this morning. parts of north—west england, north wales and the north—west midlands most prone. a breeze off the atlantic which will push some of the showers easterly, but we will continue to
7:15 am
seek sunny spells and showers may form a small part of your day by and large. into the afternoon, lot of dry weather if you take a look at the details. temperature is a good six degrees higher than they were across east scotland. isolated showers cannot be ruled out, closer to northern ireland and to the south it should stay dry. shell is close to leeds but most will be dry as is the case in notting hill. 21, 22 across eastern areas. the cloud that does form do this afternoon will fade away to tonight. the showers would dissipate as well. dry night and might —— tonight which will lead to cooler conditions across eastern scotland. temperatures into single figures to start tuesday. it will be a wet start. the western isles fairly wet and windy day, pushing
7:16 am
into the hebrides and the far north of ireland but tuesday will be a dry day for most of the uk. a bit more cloud into the afternoon, sunny spells still. the wind in a more southerly direction by this stage, temperatures up a day or two and today's values are around 23 or 2a. tuesday night, the rain in the west of scotla nd tuesday night, the rain in the west of scotland and northern ireland will push southwards and eastwards and fade a little bit. into an than morning, the potential of heavy and thundery downpours. maybe a morning feature, it could just be offshore, but something to cater for if we have any outdoor plans in the morning. a few showers drifting eastwards and that allows sunshine to develop in its wake. sunny day across northern ireland, most notably across the west. temperatures down a notch at 17 18. deal in the low 20s towards the south—east. temperatures will get a
7:17 am
boost to the latter part of the week, friday, saturday and into sunday. lots of dry weather, some cloud around but a good deal of sunshine too. certainly not rain we saw to yesterday. a bit of good news in the forecast. looks like and i start to september. it is eight minutes past seven. but first let's look at the front pages. the daily mirror has the story we are discussing this morning about the payday loan company wonga. it says the lender is on the "brink" and "could go under" because of compensation claims. the times says a "network of latin american gangs" are responsible for burglaries across the uk. it claims more than 75 chilean nationals have been arrested in the past two years. the photo is of the pope needing a helping hand whilst addressing the faithful in knock yesterday. the daily telegraph has a photo of the jailed british—iranian charity worker nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, we'll be speaking to her husband richard after soon about her return to prison after three days of freedom.
7:18 am
and finally, the express quotes a bbc interview with the daughter of the british couple who died on tuesday whilst on holiday at an egyptian hotel. kelly 0rmerod says "something in their room" caused their deaths. and one of the most popular stories on the bbc website today is a collection of pictures from around the uk showing people enjoying the bank holiday weekend despite the bad weather. it rained a lot. earlier on, i read you a pulham. this is a lady, jane parsons who is 53. she got away from her parking fine in wiltshire. she done that because she was baking for
7:19 am
to sell cakes at a fete and she was desperate for toilet and was one of those things where you have two leg it. would you like to hear verse two. —— verse two? it might be helped. we —— it might be helped. we she ran to the toilet and said i couldn't move until it was done, when i returned the fine was done the. ipod better to be discreet and leave the car parked in the street. next up! leave the car parked in the street. next up i will move and not be a pain at if i am caught short, in the drain. i knew we should have read it. -- drain. i knew we should have read it. —— shouldn't. i like this one from the times. irritating e—mails. the most annoying phrases according to them are at not sure if you saw my last e—mail. as per my last e—mail. any updates on this? sorry

for the double e—mail. send us your favourites or your least favourite. you are a keen cyclist, did you —— are you not? did you wear your helmet? all your pictures involve you wearing your helmet. not every picture you have ever posted. when i am swimming, yes. an interesting debate from geraint thomas, who has called for all cyclist to wear a helmet. i am sure some people feel strongly about that.|j helmet. i am sure some people feel strongly about that. i feel for many, cycling should be a sort of thing where you jump off a bike and just go to the shops. but even on
7:21 am
the back of him saying it i think there has been quite a reaction on social media, but he says it should be compulsory. personally think. most cycling accidents happen entirely my own fault at slow speeds of. you come in with a leg to raise. —— grady ‘s. — gaze. also we are talking about wasps later because scientists want us to help in a survey that as well. the recent heatwave has seen many of us choosing to holiday at home this summer and seaside towns have been reaping the benefits. the welsh coast has drawn plenty of tourists because of regeneration that was funded by the eu. but with the prospect of that money being withdrawn because of brexit, what could the future hold? tomos morgan has been to find out. when i first came here it had a bit
7:22 am
ofa when i first came here it had a bit of a reputation, but i saw how great it was. this man thought that it had had its heyday, but this town has been revitalised by european funding and this cash injection, alongside the recent spell of good weather has helped boost businesses like the local kite surfing school. is certainly when people come here, you could literally be anywhere in the world. in general there is so much improvement on the promenade and when people come here they love it, they don't just a when people come here they love it, they don'tjust a for a day, they stay fourth three or four which is brilliant. it has more blue flag beaches than anywhere —— beaches than anywhere else. it has been a bumper summer for the caravan and campsite that look across the irish sea. these are the lucky ones that got a place at this touring park is back what a weekend, they had to turn people away due to popular demand. this is our third time he. you can't eat it. you are right on

the beach. the dog loves it. it is a beautiful camp. the beach is safe, it is huge, it runs for miles, no problem at all. are crowding on it is just problem at all. are crowding on it isjust wonderful. problem at all. are crowding on it is just wonderful. 0n the opposite side of the region is an island full of pristine beaches and rugged coastlines. this is the best each on the east coast, which this summer became the top trending destination on aianb across the whole of the uk. but there are concerns that other areas across north wales will struggle in future without further investment into tourism. it is a fa ct investment into tourism. it is a fact that we rely on tourism per capita more than any other place in britain. without that support and investment we won't continue to grow as well as we have done in recent yea rs. as well as we have done in recent years. the majority visiting our domestic tourist, wales as a whole struggles to attract those from abroad compare to other areas of uk. foreign visitors spending here has
7:24 am
decreased by 17% over the last of the. so what more can be done to attract those from overseas?” the. so what more can be done to attract those from overseas? i think the problem that we have is that international tourism tends to concentrate on london and then perhaps scotland. what we need to do is emphasis diversity, it to see the diversity of wales is to see a distinctive, historical and cultural power of the united kingdom which is after a ll power of the united kingdom which is after all the only proper bilingual country in the uk. with an abundance of adventure tourism, north wales has been made to some tourists and many will be heading back here with a bucket and spade is this time next season. i love the welsh coast. so do i, there are some beautiful beaches. and you also find ones that are com pletely and you also find ones that are completely deserted. some really
7:25 am
beautiful beaches and it looks like it might be beach weather for the next few days. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we will have the national headlines for you injust more than two million people are expected at the carnival over two days. organisers say the emphasis is on having fun, but it's important to remember those died just half a mile from the parade route. we are going to do a 72 second silence, which is in respect of the 72 that died in the grenfell tower tragedy. grenfell and the local community around the grenfell tower are very much part of our community. ladbroke grove is a tightknit community and we will always show support to our neighbours and community. there are calls for islington council to re—think the positioning of some of its electric vehicle charging points. the chargers were introduced to encourage a cleaner mode of transport.
7:26 am
but some residents have complained about their location on pavements, the sound they make and lights shining into peoples' homes. let's have a look at the travel situation now. the district line is part suspended between parsons green and wimbledon due to planned engineering works. the 0verground is also part suspended between barking and south tottenham, euston to kilburn high road and surrey quays to clapham junction again because of planned engineering works. finally the waterloo and city line is closed all day. just a reminder on the trains, there are no services to or from euston due to major works. 0n the roads, in the westend, regent street is closed between glasshouse street and shaftesbury avenue because of an accident. finally, in victoria, the traffic lights aren't working on neathouse place at thejunction with bridge place. lets have a check on the weather now with alina jenkins. good morning. after a wet day yesterday, the bank holiday monday is looking much drier.
7:27 am
still in a fairly moist west to north—westerly airflow, that will generate quite large amounts of cloud. there will be a few bright and sunny spells, the best of which will be around for a time this morning because the day wears on that cloud will tend to build and flatten out, perhaps the chance of an isolated shower through this afternoon, but most will stay largely dry, despite quite large amounts of cloud. a noticeable breeze this morning will tend to ease down, seeing highs between 19 and 21 celsius. dry through this evening and overnight, that cloud thinning and breaking to bring lengthier clear spells, temperatures will hold up to between 11 and 13 celsius. tomorrow looks to be a dry day, in fact, more in the way of sunshine tomorrow. light winds and feeling a little bit warmer, good to see a few showers around for time on wednesday, but essentially too much of this week it is staying dry. some sunshine and feeling a little bit warmer. bye— bye. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.
7:28 am
hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. here is a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: food prices are predicted to rise in the coming months, as farmers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather. the cold snap followed by the last month's heatwave have contributed to the price of some vegetables rising by up to 80% over the last six months. but it is not all bad news. the recent warm weather has been good news for british fruit growers and vineyards. two people have been shot dead and 11 injured bya gunman at an entertainment complex in florida. the attack took place during a video game tournament in jacksonville. police have named the killer as 2a—year—old david katz, from baltimore. he shot himself dead at the scene. officers aren't looking for any other suspects. we heard one shot, and it sounded like a balloon pop. then we heard the second, third and fourth shots,
7:29 am
and after that, that's when we ducked down and everybody else started coming out, trying to escape for their lives. screaming, there's shooting, i heard gunshots, people just running, pushing each other, just getting out of the landing. i seen a grown man, like, shot, like, terrified, like... politicians, wake up, because the people you're supposed to be representing are dying. stop sitting on your butts, stop collecting cheques and do something. you guys are voted into office for a reason. britain's biggest payday lender, wonga, has said it is considering all options after reports suggested it was on the brink of collapse. it follows a surge in compensation claims against the firm, which has hit profits hard. four years ago, the financial conduct authority found wonga's debt collection practices were unfair, and ordered it to pay £2.6 million to compensate a5,000 customers. pope francis has refused to respond to accusations by a former vatican
7:30 am
ambassador that he covered up allegations of sexual abuse. an american archbishop makes the claims in an 11—page letter which concludes with a call for the pope to resign. reporters asked pope francis about the accusations as he returned from his two—day visit to ireland. during the trip he met with abuse survivors, and asked the congregation at an open—air mass for forgiveness. campaign group the people's vote, which wants a referendum on a final brexit deal, is attempting to change labour party policy on the issue, according to a leaked memo. labour's current posision is to respect the result of the 2016 referendum, but the campaign group plans to push for a debate on the matter at next month's party conference. people are being warned about buying fake versions of well—known cosmetic brands, after toxic chemicals were found in seized goods. the local government association said hundreds of thousands
7:31 am
of pounds' worth of goods have been found by councils, and the products could pose serious health risks, including chemical burns and skin rashes. the lga added it costs taxpayers and businesses thousands of pounds every year. a second tribute to remember those killed in the grenfell tower fire will take place today, on the second day of the notting hill carnival. the event is being policed by 7,000 officers today, the highest number for six years. metal detectors are also in place in an attempt to reduce the risk of knife crime. it is hoped the measures will make the carnival safer and more enjoyable for everyone. conservatonists have taken matters into their own hands to escort a rare species of bird to europe. the northern bald ibis hasn't been seen in the continent for over a00 years. flocks are now following their human foster parents, who have nurtured them in captivity, thousands of miles back to austria. it is hoped that, once enough of the birds return to the wild, they will be able to flourish again.
7:32 am
i want to know more about that story. we will have the weather shortly. at the end of the week it is going to be tropical. but first, chris is here with the sport. 0n the back pages, lots of pictures ofjose mourinho, denying it is all about him. there will be a lot of attention on him tonight, especially if manchester united struggle against spurs. it is all about him, and it is wonderful for us against spurs. it is all about him, and it is wonderfulfor us because it isa and it is wonderfulfor us because it is a kind of pantomime. the news conference he gave tonight lasted just four or five minutes, conference he gave tonight lasted just four orfive minutes, he arrived early, nobody was there to hear it, he was grumpy for four minutes, and left. he is doing all
7:33 am
the wrong things if people want to believe he will be there for the whole season. that is the crunch match we will talk about later. some good news behind you there. great britain's wheelchair basketball team have pulled off an incredible shock. they have beaten the united states at the world championships. the united states hadn't been beaten for four years, paralympic champions, and you won't know this, but basketball in britain at the moment is embroiled in this political mess. who owns it, who controls it? and they really needed some good news. so getting the gold medal is fantastic. and look at the trophy. it is huge, isn't it? that is phil pratt, who was playing against people he considers his idols. it is like playing against tiger woods, so the men have beaten the united states. the men won the wheelchair basketball world championships, beating the usa in the final.
7:34 am
the gb team claimed a 79—62 win over the rio paralympic champions for what is their first global gold medal. it adds to the silver medal won by the women's team. no doubt this was a sensational win. for some on the team, even the captain, this was a huge moment. just played against some of my idols, growing up, the likes of steve and matt, guys i literally used to look up to and watch when i was eclipsed growing up. so to be competing against them, to come out victorious, the best team in the world, it's ridiculous. all eyes on jose. mourinho's manchester united play tottenham later, and the pressure is stacking up — reports that he is not getting on with his bosses or his star players. there was that defeat to brighton last week. he turned up early for his news conference ahead of tonight's match, and didn't stick around for long, but he made it clear what he expects from his players. a winning style. don't make defensive mistakes, be dominant, create chances, score goals, and go home with the three points.
7:35 am
you want to win all the time. you want to play well all the time. you don't want to make mistakes. that's what you always want. chelsea maintained their winning start to the premier league season, but they had a bit of luck to come out 2—1 winners at newcastle. the blues snatched all three points late in the game when deandre yedlin scored an own—goal, and he knew it was over. fulham have their first win since earning promotion back to the premier league. this stunner from seri was the pick of the bunch, as they beat burnley a—2 at craven cottage. even the crosses are going in for watford these days. jose holebas luckily found the top corner to seal their 2—1 win over crystal palace. three wins out of three now for watford, who join chelsea and liverpool at
7:36 am
the top of the table. in the scottish premiership, rangers are still unbeaten under steven gerrard, but motherwell were the ones celebrating at fir park. rangers led 3—2 in the final moments of the game, but motherwell rescued a point when peter hartley scored from a corner. in the day's other game, celtic beat hamilton 1—0. lewis hamilton's formula one championship lead has been cut to 17 points, after sebastian vettel won a chaotic belgian grand prix. nico hulkenberg admitted he was too late on to the brakes at the first corner in spa, where he smashed into the back of fernando alonso, whose car then careered over the cockpit of charles leclerc. all three were unharmed, the latter saying the new halo safety device which was introduced at the start of the season helped. sebastian vettel overtook hamilton moments after the crash, and held on to win by 11 seconds. we ultimately performed quite well this weekend, but i mean, he drove past me like i wasn't even there on the straights.
7:37 am
so we've got to keep pushing as hard as we can to try and see if we can catch up, but... you know, that's all i can say. this is what you could become if you do well at maths. britain's gary hunt, a mathematical wizard, has won the cliff diving world series event in copenhagen over the weekend, 27 metres up on the roof of the danish capital's opera house. hunt's final dive consisted of three back somersaults and four twists. he is a skilled juggler, a gifted piano player, studied criminoligy, but no — he wanted to dive. —— criminology. congratulations to him. who would do that? you play chess? occasionally, trying to teach the kids chess at
7:38 am
the moment. fancy a game in the bath? with you? no. some people are playing chess in the swimming pool. the world dive chess championships took place in london over the weekend. diving chess is like normal chess but, you've guessed it, played in a swimming pool with a submerged chessboard. each player can only think as long as they are able to hold their breath. you have to be reasonably quick thinking. and reasonably fit. and if your goggles steam up all of the time... did someone use a dumbbell? well, hang on. the video assistant replay showed the dumbbell coming down to speed his entry into the water. you have two question that.
7:39 am
shortly after he won it checkmate. water. you have two question that. shortly after he won it checkmatelj thought they would have breathing apparatus on, but no. see you in the bath at 9:10 a.m.. 2018 has been a year of extreme weather for the uk, ranging from snow at the start of march, to baking hot temperatures throughoutjune and july. now we could be set to pay the price at the checkout, as farmers are warning that the unpredictable climate has had an impact on harvests. holly hamilton is at a farm near warrington this morning. the umbrella has gone. good morning to you. i am very relieved to say the umbrella has been put down for the umbrella has been put down for the time being. i wouldn't speak too soon. the time being. i wouldn't speak too soon. think back to the heatwave. it doesn't seem that long ago, but during that time farmers were really struggling. it has a huge impact on crops. in some parts of the country we had 50 days with no rain. so that has had a huge impact on both
7:40 am
vegeta bles has had a huge impact on both vegetables and dairy produce as well. we have been speaking to farmers here this morning over the last couple of days, and they have been telling us how much of an impact physically, you can see it physically in the field. we will talk to todd, and this is an ode field, wheat and coat at two of the items being affected —— oat. for the last two months, how have you been finding things? well, farming has been difficult. soft fruit hasn't yielded nearly as well as we would expect it to have done. we are halfway through our cereal harvest, and that is half of what you would normally expect, and here with these oats, they should be up to my waist and they are barely up to my knees. they will produce less than half the crop we would have expected, and also less than half the straw, and that has knock—on effects into the livestock. and you are seeing a rise
7:41 am
in the price of things like wheat and oats, that sort of thing. what effect will that have on the consumer? well, the cereals that are not used for direct human consumption, and oats make porridge and wheat makes weetabix, and so on, but most go to animal feeds, and so that will make the animal feed dearer than it was last year. that is something we will be discussing ina is something we will be discussing in a moment. it is notjust wheat and oats. you also grow soft fruit, potatoes, that is something which will be seeing a rise in coming months. all these vegetables up by around a fifth. but you can show me exactly the issue you are dealing with. these look nice little potatoes, and if this was a crop of early potatoes for eating in may or june, we would think that these were perfect for the job. these are
7:42 am
actually a crop of mariss pieper, and are destined for a fish and chip shop. so that is a little on the small side for a fish and chip shop, and that is just small side for a fish and chip shop, and that isjust tiny. and these now should have reached their full size, and the crop should be dying off in the schemes should be setting so we can store them. so we will get something not much more than half a yield of these. from farmers' point of view, that may benefit us, because very often the price rise in potatoes when they are short more than compensates for the lack of yield. so from our own business point of view, we are hoping that the potatoes will pull us out of the mire that the fruit in the cereals have put us in. but obviously that doesn't help the consumer. we will be hoping for some improved weather. asi be hoping for some improved weather. as i say, it is notjust vegetables, it is dairy products as well. and philip is a dairy farmer. how bad
7:43 am
has it been in terms of your produce and what effect it has had?m has it been in terms of your produce and what effect it has had? it has been a very tricky year old round. we had a long, cold, wet spring which meant we didn't turn the cows out until april, and instead of being able to feed the grass to the cows in the summer, we have a —— and inability to do that. what has happened is we have said this winter silage to the cows during summer, so we are running out of feed and having to buy significant amounts of supplementary feed to feed the cows today, and we are looking at a huge bill for feeding today, and we are looking at a huge bill forfeeding this today, and we are looking at a huge bill for feeding this winter. that will put our price up by about ap per litre. in terms of how people can help, we were discussing this earlier, there is very little in terms of support. and the rain has just come back now. it is really up to people to just accept the fact that prices are going to have to go up that prices are going to have to go up and they are going to have to pay more. absolutely, the only way the
7:44 am
consumer can help us is by paying the price we need to stay in business. 0therwise the price we need to stay in business. otherwise we won't be making a profit, and then what is the point in doing it. so as i say, this is an issue we will see more of in the coming months. the weather was certainly not going to get any better. the heatwave is long gone, but the increase in prices will stick around for some months. and we will be watching the prices carefully here, as i am sure you will be noticing as well when you are out in the shops. there wasn't any sum in the sky but ican there wasn't any sum in the sky but i can see a strange yellow picture behind matthew. what is it? i can see a strange yellow picture behind matthew. what is mm i can see a strange yellow picture behind matthew. what is it? it is a sun! there are a few showers around, some of you will stay largely dry, a big improvement from what we saw yesterday. this was the scene at hampton court, many eastern areas starting similarly. through this week not as much rain as he saw
7:45 am
yesterday, some showers at times and there will be some in the west but it will also feel warmer than it did, especially as the wind continues to ease. the bulk of the wet weather was courtesy of this area cloud, that is into northern europe but we are are bringing it in off the atlantic and it is with those westerly winds, quite gusty, we have seen a few showers. they will continue to push through and the wind strong enough to take showers to eastern areas but is in areas will see very few showers if at all and stay largely dry. is getting into the afternoon with the showers we have got this morning becoming fewer in numbers. taking a closer look into the afternoon, most places dry, and isolated shower water across scotland but temperatures up the good six or seven degrees compare to what we saw yesterday. a few showers for the northern half, showers in north—west england, could get close to leeds. isolated showers for the leeds
7:46 am
carnival but nowhere near as bad as it was yesterday. 22 in the east but towards the south—west and the channel islands this is so is he the funniest condition. through tonight, the cloud will melt away and we will see the showers fade for time by trudi the night it will turn wet. most dry and a bit cooler than last across eastern scotland and eastern england, temperature is into single figures. return to work for some of you but it should be a dry return for the majority, are largely sunny start across much of the uk. it will be worked in the western isles, the rain eventually pushing into the highlands and the very far west of northern ireland to. that is the exception rather than the rule. good, long sunny spells almost and feeling warmer than today with temperatures 23 or 2a. the rain with the across western scotland will push across the rest overnight into wednesday. at the same time, could
7:47 am
just see some thundery rain close to south—east england and east anglia. a bit of uncertainty are most likely you will see it during the morning. a few showers pushing southwards but lots of sunshine in its wake, one or two showers dotted around. temperatures down a touch compared with tuesday, the atlantic wind making once again. pleasant enough, the sunshine out and more of that glorious sunshine as we finish the week and though into the weekend. high—pressure more widely and very few, if any showers around and very pleasa nt few, if any showers around and very pleasant in the sunshine too. temperatures around 18— 22 degrees, if not a higher. can head with yesterday ‘s widespread soggy weather, today not looking quite so bad. —— compare that. —— compared. did you know that almost one in five sales these days are made by the internet rather than the high street? but there's been a building boom in retail distribution centres that ship our products to us,
7:48 am
double the amount of warehouse space injust a decade. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. it's big business delivering parcels. these days, most of them contain our internet shopping. it's 9pm at dhl‘s vast depot at east midlands airport and things are getting busy. each night we process 190,000 shipments through this facility. and it is growing. dhl has invested more than £150 million expanding this site to keep up with demand. it has changed incredibly. a few years ago we wouldn't have seen any e—commerce or online shipping products coming to this organisation, now we are seeing 60% of the uk volume is all e—commerce. what does that tell you? it tells us that is the way forward, that is where the future is. location is key. this region is making the most of its good connections, next door, a vast distribution park is taking shape, the east midlands gateway.
7:49 am
high street shops may be shutting, but this part of retail is growing at breakneck speed. with commissioned research, which shows that over the last decade 235 million square feet of warehouse space has been leased or bought. that is double compared with the previous decade and more than half of it has been built from scratch. like this. and a proportion going to retail has doubled too, with 2018 set to be a record year. 0ver there is the airport. the boss told me there are now almost as many planes with cargo as passengers. passenger flights tend to be during the daytime hours, then what happens overnight, we really come to life with the cargo activity, which is all about that next day delivery.
7:50 am
and so we see phenomenal growth, maybe 19, 20 planes per hour that is literally bringing cargo in or taking it out in the country, ready for that next day. 0ur changing shopping habits are creating thousands of new, very different job and infrastructure. a journey which still has a long way to run. emma simpson, bbc news, east midlands airport. we have been looking forward to this next item. talking a lot about whether today. —— weather. with temperatures hitting record highs this year, it's no surprise if you've been encountering more wasps than usual. if you want to get rid of them there's now a way you can do so, whilst helping scientists. the big wasp survey aims to find out more about the insects but it needs your help. one of the founders of the project, seirian sumner from university college london, is with us now. and with some lovely friends. you
7:51 am
will tell me, presumably that wasps area will tell me, presumably that wasps are a good thing. they are a really good thing. they are nature ‘s pest controllers. they eat all of the prey that played out tomato plants, our cabbages and our crops. they are doing a really good job, a world without wasps means we would have to use lot more pesticides.” without wasps means we would have to use lot more pesticides. i love the fa ct use lot more pesticides. i love the fact that you came up on the train yesterday and you brought these on the train. why do we need to know more about wasps? despite everyone being able to identify this insect asa being able to identify this insect as a wasp, we actually understand very little about them. they are very little about them. they are very understudied, scientist two would rather study bees then wasps and we need to know more about the distribution and diversity in the uk. it is specifically you want people to do, you want people to catch wasps for you in a safe
7:52 am

saying, why are you killing wasps? unfortunately we do have to kill them because they are very difficult to identify just flying them because they are very difficult to identifyjust flying around. there are 900 species of wasps in the uk and the experts, sometimes we need to use a bike of scope to identify the species. —— microscope. you are not worried we will kill too many? we did a study last year and we have identified that we are rosy —— only losing workers, we have tied the experiment to be at the end of the experiment to be at the end of the colony cycle. there are workers around, they have not much work to do and they know we —— no longer need to feed the love a. removing a few workers will not have any impact on the population. did you have two register? go online to wasps. walk, you can register and we will give you can register and we will give you a tracking number, when you're ready to send to us, go back online

and we will send you a freepost address. dumb question may be, can you be stung by a dead wasp! knows. but some of the wasps in your trap may not quite dead, that is why we ask you to put them in the freezer, they would not be able to sting you because they will be drowsy. why do wasps sting us? it is a defence. all bees, wasps, and is, they all sting. bis bees, wasps, and is, they all sting. b isjust as bees, wasps, and is, they all sting. b is just as likely to sting you as a wasp stopped. basting in defence, they have evolved such that they can defend their colony. there are thousands of workers within the colony and are all there to ensure that the brood of the mother queen reaches adult could and can go on and pass their genes on to the next generation. i can do hear people moaning saying why are you so cruel?
7:55 am
this is for science. it is really for science and lastly we had an incredible response from people all over the country. we want traps all over the country. we want traps all over the country. we want traps all over the country, despite having a fabulous sample size, we still only killed fewer wasps that is in a single one. i got stung on the inside of my lip. any tips? suck out the poison and the spit it out quickly but if it is in your mouth it isa quickly but if it is in your mouth it is a bit difficult to do! what can you do with these now?” it is a bit difficult to do! what can you do with these now? i would like to say i am taking them back to 0xfordshire and releasing them in their hometown. that would be nice. iam not their hometown. that would be nice. i am not sure what the railways will say about this. they will be released somewhere. we'll put it on our social media well, we can find all the details and how to make the trap and everything. you can keep

7:59 am
thinning and breaking to bring lengthier clear spells, temperatures will hold up to between 11 and 13 celsius. tomorrow looks to be a dry day, in fact, more in the way of sunshine tomorrow. light winds and feeling a little bit warmer, good to see a few showers around for time on wednesday, but essentially too much of this week it is staying dry. some sunshine and feeling a little bit warmer. bye— bye. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today... why the cost of food is set to rise. farmers say this year's wild weather will leave shoppers paying the price at the checkout. with a big freeze and a heatwave,

8:01 am
warmer. it's monday, the 27th of august. our top story this morning... food prices are being tipped to rise as farmers and producers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather conditions. the cold snap earlier this year followed by the summer heatwave, have contributed to the price of some vegetables rising by up to 80% over the last six months, as our reporter katy austin explains. this year, extreme cold has been followed by exceptional heat — a nightmare scenario for many farmers. farming has endured the worst summer drought in living memory, so that's impacted on wheat yields. so milling wheat is in short supply in northern europe, and vegetables in particular have been impacted quite severely, and so they will be in short supply in the coming months. now, an economics research group say farmers' costs and a struggle to produce enough is pushing up wholesale vegetable prices, and some dairy prices. for example, between march and july, the farm gate price of carrots went up 80%, there was a 20% rise in the cost of wheat for bread, and the price of onions went up a1%.
8:02 am
the researchers say that has a knock—on effect, and with some other products here and in europe also set to get more expensive, a monthly £7 increase on shopping bills could be around the corner. a spokesperson from the department for environment, food and rural affairs told us it is not only the weather that affects food prices. it says it has taken steps to help affected farmers, and the high temperatures have helped things like fruit and wine. to find out more about this we've sent holly hamilton to a farm near warrington. morning again. morning. you can imagine how difficult it has been forfarmers over the imagine how difficult it has been for farmers over the past year. we had a cold snap and then into the heatwave, which a lot of us enjoyed except the farmers. they had 50 days
8:03 am
of drought in some parts of the uk which had a huge impact on prices, farm gate prices of carrots, onions, potatoes, the staples. that will impact on how much will be spent on those products in the next few months. i am standing on todd's farm. you have had a difficult couple of years really with the last few months particularly being hard. the problems started with the weather last autumn, winter, spring, with the beast from the east and the spring started very late from our point of view when we could establish that crops. when we did start planting, it virtually did not rain for months on end after that. the fruit season was disappointing, it yields were about half what we would expect. we are halfway through the serial crop and the yields are again half. behind me is a very
8:04 am
healthy looking crop potatoes. although the plants look well the potatoes are very small and the yield on appleby down as well.m does seem the heatwave long gone. these price rises in except to stick around for some time to come. thank you. two people have been shot dead by a gunman at a video game tournament in florida. 11 others were injured in the shooting, which happened at a gaming event injacksonville, in the north of the state. police say the killer shot himself dead at the scene. andrew plant reports. this was a videogame tournament being streamed live online, young people gathered in a room inside a shopping centre, playing an american football game, when suddenly shots are fired. just thought it was a balloon pop, the way it sounded. but then came the realisation, you know, that someone back there is shooting. so just we basically got down and crawled out, for our lives. screaming, just shooting, i heard gunshots, people just running, pushing each other, just getting out of the landing.
8:05 am
police used social media to warn people to stay away, and to hide if they were trapped inside. they later said they had found the suspected gunman already dead. the single suspect in this case is a white male. this is pending confirmation, but we believe the suspect to be 2a—year—old david katz, from baltimore, maryland, and the fbi is assisting us with that leg of the investigation in baltimore. florida has seen several mass shootings in recent years, including the pulse nightclub in 2016, where a9 people died. it is not clear what prompted this latest shooting. there is speculation that david katz had just lost a game in the tournament. police say investigations into the motive are ongoing. britain's biggest payday lender wonga has said it is considering "all options" after reports suggested it was on the brink of collapse. it follows a surge in compensation claims against the firm which has hit profits hard.
8:06 am
four years ago the financial conduct authority found wonga's debt collection practices were unfair and ordered it to pay two point six million pounds to compensate a5,000 customers. pope francis has refused to respond to accusations by a former vatican ambassador that he covered up allegations of sexual abuse. an american archbishop makes the claims in an 11—page letter, which concludes with a call for the pope to resign. reporters asked pope francis about the accusations as he returned from his two day visit to ireland. during the trip he met with abuse survivors and asked the congregation at an open air mass for forgiveness. the daughter of a couple who died whilst on holiday in egypt has told the bbc she believes something in their hotel room was to blame for their deaths. susan and john cooper from burnley were staying at the steigenberger aqua magic hotel when their daughter, kelly 0rmerod, discovered them unwell. they died a short while after.
8:07 am
egyptian investigators say no trace of poisonous gas has been found in the room. as soon as they went into the bedroom, my daughter said that they could smell something that was a little bit funny, that wasn't right. all they did really was spray a little bit of perfume to try and eliminate the smell. they then fell asleep, and my father came back to the room an hour later, and my daughter woke up and said she felt very unwell with the smell, and she wanted to come and return to my room. campaign group the people's vote, which wants a referendum on a final brexit deal, is attempting to change labour party policy on the issue, according to a leaked memo. the group plans to push for a debate on the matter at next month's party conference. let's find out more from our political correspondent jonathan blake. how likely is a policy change? well, it depends how successful

8:09 am
the moment are not calling for a people's vote on a final brexit deal. they have left some wriggle room. there is always the risk of alienating some labour supporters who backed brexit in the first place. thank you. the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe has told us he has no idea when she might next be free. the british—iranian charity worker is serving a five—yearjail sentence in iran on spying charges, which she denies. but she was allowed three days of freedom this weekend to spend time with her daughter before being recalled to prison last night. earlier, her husband richard said herfuture was still as unclear as ever. i think we need to take stock as to what happens. i'm thankful the foreign secretary is strong in calling for her release and saying that she shouldn't be imprisoned. but we need to take stock as to quite what it all means and the understanding as to why it wasn't extended. people are being warned about buying fake versions of well—known cosmetic brands
8:10 am
after toxic chemicals were found in seized goods. the local government association said hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of goods have been found by councils and the products could pose serious health risks including chemical burns and skin rashes. the lga added it costs taxpayers and businesses thousands of pounds every year. a second tribute to remember those killed in the grenfell tower fire will take place today on the second day of the notting hill carnival. the event is being policed by 7,000 officers today, the highest number for six years. metal detectors are also in place, in an attempt to reduce the risk of knife crime. it's hoped the measures will make the carnival safer and more enjoyable for everyone. would you like to see the rescue of some killer wales western mark ——

8:17 am
i have also had a support worker. what is the longest you two have ever been a part? we think nearly two weeks, spread over 18 years. two weeks over 18 years! because of tilly's personal care needs, although school trips, the usual things parents do when they learn to say goodbye and welcome home again, and we have been pretty muchjoined at the hip. letting go is a difficult thing, isn't it? it is universal and everybody has to go through it one way or another but i think in this particular case for me to try to let go and trust tilly's going to be beautifully looked after and remain independent, it's a big ask. i know you say it happens to everybody, the child leaving and going somewhere, but as tilly speaks about, the care she requires, and that funding has came through from the nhs. did that have to happen in orderfor tilly to
8:18 am
the nhs. did that have to happen in order for tilly to go? it is critical and it is amazing they have agreed to do it. they have not done it before, certainly in north staffordshire. it was an extraordinary case for them, to take this into account, to try to help tilly realise her dream and without their support it would not have happened so it is obviously a wonderful opportunity for tilly, and the great thanks to the nhs. your worked tirelessly. you are not very old, but you have worked tirelessly for many years to raise money for charity. is it £5 million? yes, we have reached that now, amazing to think. in my life i will never see the end of lots of support, so it is incredible to think i can get something back and i can provide other children, young people, adults with opportunities. listening to you, from that 5 million, more than that, raised, obviously you were very determined. was she like that from an early age? absolutely. tilly

8:22 am
at home this summer and seaside towns have been reaping the benefits. the welsh coast has drawn plenty of tourists because of regeneration that was funded by the eu. but with the prospect of that money being withdrawn because of brexit, what could the future hold? what else! tomos morgan has been to find out. i mean, when i first came here, it had a bit of reputation but i saw how great it was. some may have thought that rhyl has had its heyday, but this seaside town has been revitalised in recent years by european funding. and this cash injection, alongside the recent spell of good weather, has helped boost businesses like the local kite surfing school. certainly when people come here you literally could be anywhere in the world. so, in general, there's so much improvement going all the way down the promenade and when people come here they love it. they don't just stay for a day, they stay for three or four, which is brilliant. per mile, wales has more blue flag
8:23 am
beaches than anywhere else across britain. almost half of these are across the five coastline counties of the north. it's been a bumper summer, too, for the caravan and that look out across the irish sea. these are the lucky ones that got a place at frith beach touring park this bank holiday weekend. they had to turn people away due to popular demand. this is our third time here. you can't beat it. you're right on the beach. the dog loves it. it's a beautiful camp. the beach is safe. it's huge. it runs for miles. there's no trouble of overcrowding. it's just wonderful. 0n the opposite side of the region is an island full of pristine beaches and rugged coastlines. this is benllech beach on the east coast of anglesey, which this summer became the top trending destination on airbnb across the whole of the uk. but there are concerns that this and other areas across north wales will struggle in future without further investment into tourism. it's a fact that anglesey relies more per capita on tourism than any other county in britain. without that support,
8:24 am
without the investment, we certainly won't continue to grow as well as we have done in recent years. the majority visiting are domestic tourists. wales as a whole struggles to attract those from abroad compared to other areas of the uk. foreign visitor spending here has decreased by 17% over the last 12 months. so what more can be done to attract those from overseas? i think the problem we have is international tourism tends to concentrate on london and then perhaps on scotland. what we need to do is emphasise that message, that to see the diversity of wales is to see a distinctive historical and cultural part of the united kingdom. after all, it's the only properly bilingual country in the united kingdom. with picturesque shores, plenty of lettings and an abundance of adventure tourism, north wales has been made for summer tourists. and many will be heading back
8:25 am
here with their bucket and spades this time next season. tomos morgan, bbc news, anglesey. i have been to some beautiful welsh beaches over this long, hot summer. lovely on the welsh coast. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we will the main headlines at 830 am. see you then. good morning from bbc london news. i'm tolu adeoye. a 36—year—old man's been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after two women were stabbed in east london. the first, a woman in her 60s, was attacked in chariot close on friday evening. a 57—year—old woman was stabbed last night in parnell road. both women needed hospital treatment. a 72—second silence will take place at notting hill carnival later to remember those who lost their lives in the grenfell tower fire. more than two million people are expected at the carnival over two days. organisers say the emphasis is on having fun

be dominant, create chances, score goals, and go home with the three points. you want to win all the time. you want to play well all the time. you don't want to make mistakes. that's what you always want. lewis hamilton's formula one championship lead has been cut to 17 points after sebastian vettel won a chaotic belgian grand prix. nico hulkenberg admitted he was too late on to the brakes at the first corner in spa where he smashed into the back of fernando alonso whose car then careered over the cockpit of charles leclerc. all three were unharmed, the latter saying the new halo safety device which was introduced at the start of the season helped. sebastian vettel overtook hamilton moments after the crash and held on to win by 11 seconds. british kayaker lizzie broughton claimed the first major title of her career with gold on the final day of the canoe sprint world championships in portugal. it's hard to see at first. she is in first place.
8:37 am
she's already won a silver on friday but went one better yesterday with gold in the 5000m. broughton is a marathon distance specialist and only began competing in the sprints last year. we like this. it's the old game of chess but you've never seen it quite like this before. the world dive chess championships took place in london over the weekend. diving chess is like normal chess but, you've guessed it, played in a swimming pool with a submerged chessboard. each player can only think as long as they are able to hold their breath. you have changed your footwear. he does not look athletic. i am sure he is very good but he has not been training for this. it is a mental game, a crazy game. this is what i call cheating. it must be a
8:38 am
different kind of game. you would have two all be allowed to do that, wouldn't you ? 0ur our next guest needs trunks and goggles as well. swimming the length of the english channel from cornwall to dover in 50 days, sounds pretty tough, and that's before you mention horrific weather and terrifying jellyfish. it's a challenge lewis pugh is undertaking to campaign for more marine protected areas on britain's coastline. as he gets ready to set off on day a7, let's take a look at his progress so far. it's been months and months of planning and preparation, and finally i'm here. it's going to happen now. unfortunately, lots of jellyfish today, mate. loads. we've got a swimmer in the water at the moment.
8:39 am
if you could just manage to stay well clear and we'll pass starboard to starboard, sir. it's such a mammoth long swim — 560 kilometres. i've never attempted anything like this before. so, i'll see you in dover. and lewisjoins us now from rye harbour in east sussex. morning to you. thank you for joining us. i understand the reason why you can speak to earth, is a bit rough out there today? it has been rough out there today? it has been rough for two days. this evening i'm going to try get back in the english channel and go around the last i have to go around to finally get to dover. i'm hoping to hoping to get to dover on wednesday lunchtime. why have you not been able to get around the headland ? have you not been able to get around the headland? just described to us. absolutely monstrous seas. it has
8:40 am
been a halves. from land's absolutely monstrous seas. it has been a halves. from lands end to the isle of wight was wonderful, wonderful, warm and flat seas. the second half we have had storm after storm after storm. yesterday, the storm after storm. yesterday, the storm is really wild. when it is wild, are you scared? well, we went out yesterday in the boat to try to do this swim. we went out to see about three kilometres and it was dangerous. we turned around and went back to harbour. the english channel is the everest of swings always a touch swim and we have to do things as safely as possible. —— of swims, a lwa ys as safely as possible. —— of swims, always the toughest of swims. we are going to try and do it at night, this evening rant about nine o'clock. it is the final headland, i have done eight. it is almost as if the last one is saying to me can you
8:41 am
have come so far but you have to get past us. you say at night. we are watching pictures of you summing at night. how do even know you are going in the right direction?” night. how do even know you are going in the right direction? i have a support boat next to me guiding me. anybody swimming across the english channel, from dover to calais, normally you will do a section at night. this is something i have done on previous swims. section at night. this is something i have done on previous swimsm section at night. this is something i have done on previous swims. it is amazing what you are doing for the tellers little bit about why no wet suit. i swim according to channel swimming association rules. that is have been swimming now. 1800 people have been swimming now. 1800 people have swu m have been swimming now. 1800 people have swum from dover to calais and thatis have swum from dover to calais and that is the way we swim, with a cap and goggles and a pair of speedo summing trunks. we don't want to be matching but we wanted to tough. —— macho. there is no reason to change
8:42 am
those rules. do youjust macho. there is no reason to change those rules. do you just get used to the temperature? we have been very fortu nate the temperature? we have been very fortunate this year. i think had i done it last year or a few years back when water temperatures were not what they are as a result of the incredibly warm summer, it would have been difficult. at land ‘s end when i started the water was 12 degrees but then it rapidly rose up to 19. that has not been a big factor. the two big factors we have been facing, number one has been jellyfish will stop that is a function of the warming climate. the other big issue we are facing is a government which, with all due respect, is well—meaning but entirely distracted. the reason for the swim is to highlight what is happening in the seas around the united kingdom and it has been very difficult to be able to deliver this
8:43 am
message to a government which, at the moment, is so distracted.” message to a government which, at the moment, is so distracted. i can see what you are alluding to on the distractions, i can imagine. what do you think needs to change? you are swimming in these waters, can you see change you are worried about?” have been swimming for nearly 50 days. what has shocked me is what i have not seen. i have seen a few fish and dolphins, a few birds, lots of jellyfish, virtually fish and dolphins, a few birds, lots ofjellyfish, virtually nothing else, virtually nothing else. the ocea ns else, virtually nothing else. the oceans around the united kingdom are so oceans around the united kingdom are so badly overfished, at the moment the uk government only fully protects seven square kilometres of water around the uk. they are fully protected and the waters around the uk are 750,000 square kilometres. when i get to dover on wednesday at midday, michael gove has agreed to meet me and i will be delivering a
8:44 am
ha rd meet me and i will be delivering a hard message. it is very simple. we have this one opportunity to properly protect the waters around the uk and if we do not do that there will not be any fish left for our generation, forget about future generations if we do not take action right now. on a different, lighter note, the jellyfish. how right now. on a different, lighter note, thejellyfish. how do right now. on a different, lighter note, the jellyfish. how do you right now. on a different, lighter note, thejellyfish. how do you deal with them? they have been my real difficulty. it was at the beginning of the swim where they were so difficult. around plymouth and lyme bay, there is only one way to get past jellyfish and bay, there is only one way to get pastjellyfish and that is to swim through them. that has been a big pa rt through them. that has been a big part of the ordeal. and they sting, presumably? not only do they sting but they slow you down. you get a paranoia and think you are going to have a jellyfish in your face, in your armpit have a jellyfish in your face, in yourarmpitand your have a jellyfish in your face, in your armpit and your groin with
8:45 am
every stroke. you swim with your head up. instead of summing up for kilometres an hour when there were lots of jellyfish i kilometres an hour when there were lots ofjellyfish i was swimming at one kilometre per hour. thank you for that very graphic description. good to speak to you. that is a horrible thought. i have once swum with jellyfish. 0nce horrible thought. i have once swum with jellyfish. once when you actually touched them and it was frea ky actually touched them and it was freaky going through your fingers. i can imagine. 16 english channel swims back—to—back. let's find out what the weather is going to be like. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. good morning to you both. a breeze later on will be better for low—risk but i thought i would try to find you some sunshine to start the day —— better for lewis . this is from morar in the
8:46 am
highlands, a lovely start. what this week will be like, not much rain around, nowhere near as wet as yesterday and it'll start to feel a bit warmer as well. not completely without rain this morning. some across western parts of england and wales, particularly across north west england. isolated showers in the north—west of scotland. the breeze is sufficient to push one or two mat of those further east through the day but not too many. most of you will spend the day is not completely dry, the bulk of the day dry, with good sunny spells as well and it will feel warmer as the winds eased on in the afternoon. let's look at what is happening in the second half of the day, lots of sunshine to the north of scotland thinking 0rkney and shetland. 0ne sunshine to the north of scotland thinking 0rkney and shetland. one or two mat isolated showers but warmer than yesterday —— one or two isolated showers. still some showers in the north—west england, north—west england, north west wales. 0ne
8:47 am
north—west england, north west wales. one or two kids get close to leeds for the carnival there and one or two may hit notting hill carnival. into the night, clear skies across most parts of the uk before we see cloud and wind and rain arrive in the western isles later on but it means it will be a slightly fresher night across here, down into single figures but for your tuesday commute, the return to work for some of you, dry and sunny for the vast majority. the exception rather than the rule will be wet and windy weather in the hebrides which will spread towards the western isles later, maybe into the far west of the northern islands but most will have a dry day, sunny in the morning, a little cloud bubbling up in the afternoon and temperatures on par with didier‘s values. in the south—west it'll feel a little warmer “— south—west it'll feel a little warmer —— on par with the day's values. then rain spreading across northern ireland through the night. watch out for the potential for some heavy thundery rain in france
8:48 am
reaching the south—east corner. drier in the afternoon, a few showers further west and lots of sunshine developing in the afternoon. bit of a breeze and may feel cooler by wednesday but thursday, friday, into the weekend, high pressure building and most places staying dry. a big improvement on yesterday. back to you, dan and louise. thank you, matthew. are you on all week? no, carol is with you tomorrow then i will be back. thank you. 2018 has been a year of extreme weather for the uk — ranging from snow at the start of march, to baking hot temperatures throughoutjune and july. holly hamilton is at a farm near warrington this morning. what is going on? still pretty chilly here, i can tell you. this weather is having an impact on fathers of the —— farmers over the past year. this may be like a distant memory right now, the heatwave, but thinking back to that beast from the east, the cold snap,
8:49 am
having a real impact on the products harvested right now, and we can see that in the fields, potatoes looking a little smaller, the wheat looking a little smaller, the wheat looking a little smaller, the wheat looking a little shorter than it should and they should have an impact on your shopping trolley. the price set to rise in the coming months and they reckon around about 5%, around about £7.15 per household per month. that is all your staples, carrots and so on. this is todd. you have seen all types of weather conditions over the past few months. he has been for you? it has been very difficult. as you? it has been very difficult. as you say, from our point of view it was a wet late summer, autumn, winter, spring, that has cost the most of the damage and then that was exacerbated by the lovely spell of weather we have had this spring and summer. weather we have had this spring and summer. these should have been
8:50 am
planted, this field of oats we are stood and, if you look here, they barely come up to my knees and they should come up to my waist. this crop was planted in april and it should have been planted the previous september and if it had been planned in the previous septemberand been planned in the previous september and drawn nicely through la st september and drawn nicely through last winter it would have produced us last winter it would have produced us three times to the acre of oats, perhaps three times to the acre of oats, perhaps 3.5. —— three tonnes to the jager. and this is the difference between a good and bad crop. looking over here, we are talking about wheat and oats right now but it is also carrots, lettuce, potatoes. carrots have gone up by about 80%, quite incredible. what we can physically see the difference this weather has had on the crops with the potatoes. so i have in my hand two maris piper potatoes. if these were new potatoes we would be wanting to eat now, boiled up with
8:51 am
some mint on them, they would be about the right size. you're making me hungry now! these are actually nice paper, destined to make chips. this one would make a reasonable chip, and the small one is far too small for that obviously —— these are actually maris pipers. the uk will get from this will be not much more than half than we could reasonably have expected from this field which will obviously have a great impact on the price people are paying for their chips with their fish and chips but also for the potatoes in the shops. well, tod, we will leave you and your potatoes fight now. and dairy products as well. phil, you are a dairy farmer and also a representative of the nfu here in cheshire. in terms of the difference you have seen, this is also because the grass has not been growing enough and you're having to dip into reserves for cattle. what impact does that have on the likes
8:52 am
of milk, butter? we have had to buy a lot of extra supplementary feed this summer. we have not drawn the right amount of grass to make this your's next winter's silage so we have a huge fee bill coming for this winter and they also have a lot of supplementary feed this summer. not only are we buying feed we wouldn't normally buy, but also at enhanced prices simply because all those raw materials we feed the cows on, they are already in short supply. so it will be about 3p to 4p a litre, cost going up. people complaining about the price of food going up, not good for anybody really, but in times like these we have that these extreme weather conditions and there is not much farmers can do. the only thing we can do is ask consumers to trust the tractor and source british products and keep buying really. thank you. like i say, the heatwave is definitely gone, i can tell you that much, but this increase in prices and on our food, that much, but this increase in prices and on ourfood, it looks that much, but this increase in prices and on our food, it looks set
8:53 am
to stick around for some time to come. thank you, holly. sterling work they are, at a farm in warrington. holly out, caught on, coat off. yes, we will keep you up—to—date with the prices, as if you can't see them anyway. —— coat on, coat off. television dramas often try to reflect real life themes and this week's holby city is hoping it can reach out to men who might be living with mental health problems. the series has joined forces with the charity mind to create an episode tackling some of the misconceptions about depression. before we find out more, let's look at a clip of the incident which leads the character dr sacha levy to consider ending his own life. there's too much blood. i can do it. how many units has he had? 40. a0? machines beep he's arresting again. another milligram of adrenaline and charge to 100. don't look at him, connor, he's my patient. another milligram of adrenaline and charge to 100. charging. stand clear. shocking. machines beep
8:54 am
again. sacha. again! charging. stand clear. shocking. we'rejoined by actor bob barrett, who plays dr sacha levy, jenni regan from mind, and by real life paramedic esmail rifai, who has experienced depression himself. thank you very much for coming in this morning. welcome to you all. let's talk about that episode, first of all. some people have called it a genre breaking one for shuai. very different in how it is filmed and how it comes across. it is split between... basically you see the story over the whole europe where his depression has grown, but you haven't actually seen it in the show —— over the whole year. i had two bouts of depression before, and the whole idea is that people who have clinical depression he did incredibly well and they put on a mask and the face and beneath that is crumbling inside, i think...
8:55 am
mask and the face and beneath that is crumbling inside, ithink... so basically the it is split between flashbacks over a year and the present day, and the character you saw they are, a character called conor, he dies that they and that is a patient who sacha has been looking after for a year. that is the sort of catalyst, isn't it? esmail, you suffered yourself. and thank you very much for coming to doctor us about it, because it is incredibly personal as well. that kind of echo... were you hiding things when you feeling down? very much so. it is something you tend not to talk about, and as such we hate it and he did exceptionally well until it comes to such a point where we feel you are about to lose everything —— we hide it and he —— hide it
8:56 am
incredibly well. your character standing in front of people with a smile on his face, shuts the door, the smile goes. was that something you felt? all the time. i think that is kind of where your partners, your loved ones, they will see it more so, because it in the public eye was very much... "everything is all right," smiley, very much... "everything is all right, " smiley, happy very much... "everything is all right," smiley, happy tech person, but at home you let their guard down and that is where you can of fall apart. jenni, from your point of view, i'm sure bob has put a lot of work into studying and how people are, but it is incredibly important from your perspective, from mind's point of view, to get something like this right, the characterisation. people like esmail who have been through it, that it feels like real life? when the media does storylines like this really well, people do tend to seek help, they possibly recognise in themselves they have depression, or possibly on someone else. with this storyline, because we know men are in such danger of
8:57 am
trying to take their own lives, the biggest killer of men under 45, so taking a character like sacha, really well liked, but of a joker, but giving him depression and following it through in a really realistic way, hopefully it will make a huge impact. and mind has worked closely with the storyline and everything. it has been fantastic. 0bviously and everything. it has been fantastic. obviously we wanted to get it as accurate as possible because it is such an important subject. jenni's has been amazing, the story team who have worked with jennl the story team who have worked with jenni, and i think it has helped enormously. we have a great writer, michelle, and director, tracy, who we re very michelle, and director, tracy, who were very sympathetic to the subject as well. the key to us was just to make it as accurate as we possibly could, to tell, you know, the story in the show. you have obviously lifted and it is totally different us. lifted and it is totally different us. yes, and we don't have enough time to go through it all. we
8:58 am
haven't got that much time, but in the end what was it that made you get help? did somebody come in and speak to you about it, or did you just feel... total breakdown, where i found myself at work, just crying. uncontrollably crying. unable to do anything, so at that point i knew i needed help, desperately.” anything, so at that point i knew i needed help, desperately. i don't know which of you wants to answer this, but for friends and family, you know, how can they help? because sometimes they will see it before, when the? it is not always easy to talk to family members —— they will see it before won't they? but i think they are the people who will help us get the help, and it is asking those questions, "are you 0k?", asking about your feelings, and also if you have any thoughts, suicidal thoughts, or otherwise, and i think from a family member or a
8:59 am
loved one who sort of asks those questions it kind of brings it home and the lot. aw, thank you so much. mind is one charity who can help and there are many others out there. and you can see how that pans out. you can watch that holby city episode tomorrow night at 8 o'clock on bbc one and if you or someone you know is affected by mental health issues, you can get advice from the bbc action line website — the address is on screen now. we will make sure that is on our social media.
