walking out of a press conference, appearing grumpy. very often he's done it to put the attention on him rather than his team, but is he doing that because he's trying to save his team or are the wheels coming off at manchester united? a thumping win then for spurs at old trafford last night, 3—0 over manchester united, whose start to the season goes from bad to worse. andy swiss was watching. only three games in but already under the spotlight. jose mourinho has cut a frustrated figure recently, fuelled by defeat to brighton last weekend, and the united manager's mood won't have been helped by this. earlier his united side should have taken the lead. romelu lukaku with a gaping net which he somehow failed to find. the manager understandably miffed. and after the break how totte n ha m miffed. and after the break how tottenham made them pay. who else but harry kane, and rarely had his pinpoint precision puts spurs ahead and it was 2—0 as united's defensive

frailties were brutally exposed by lucas moura. the visitors, ecstatic. the hosts rather less so. soon their misery was complete. mourinho wanted a new defender in the summer and you can see why as moura raced through to make it three. his watching manager, his employers, and above all the fans had the most painful of nights. at the close mourinho applauded them, but the big question now is where does he go from here? andy swiss, bbc news. he did something interesting, he went to the fans, he picked up a scarf and a shirt, almost like taking souvenirs. almost like a good buy. it had the essence of that. mourinho was not happy in his press conference after the match and felt he was getting enough respect from the media. no, just to finish, do you know what was the result? 3-0. do you know what this means? 3-0! but also mean three premierships, and i won more premierships alone than the other 19 managers together.

three for me and two for them. respect... respect, respect, respect. did you hear the door close and he was still saying it as he left. not happy at the moment. not happy at all. one other line of football news, and it's expected that arsenal will become a private company today. the majority shareholder stan kroenke will own all the club's shares through a complusary purchase if the remaining small shareholders haven't already sold them to him. kroneke recently bought out billionaire alisher usmanov, to take his shareholding to 97%. andy murray is back into the swing of winning at grand slam tournaments! he's through his first—round clash at the us open, beating australia's james duckworth in four sets. it was murray's first

best—of—five—set match in 1a months, having had surgery on a long—term hip injury at the start of this year. kyle edmund is out. the british number one started well, winning the first set, but he then started to struggle with the rising temperatures and humidity on court, and eventually lost in four sets to italy's paolo lorenzi. better news for british number two cameron norrie, he is through after beating jordan thompson. despite playing well to qualify, heather watson has gone out. she lost in the first round to russia's ekaterina makarova. it's the eighth year in a row that watson has lost in the first round at the us open. and the first round already has a major upset. the world number one, simona halep, knocked out by estonia's kaia kanepi in straight sets. it's the first time since 1968 that a top seed has lost in the opening round at flushing meadows. serena williams is through, though. if you saw the belgian grand prix on sunday, you would have seen the horrific crash between fernando alonso and charles leclerc. saved by the halo. shall we show you

some new video from the last few hours from formula 1? from leclerc‘s on board camera. that is the halo. there's no doubt if it wasn't for that halo, one of the fernando alonso tyres would have hit the head of leclerc. there it is again. you can see the damage afterwards. lots of people have complained about the shift in weight, but there you go, that shows you why it is there. it would have been his head. year. i think progress there! —— yeah. and surrey stars are the new women's super league champions. they beat loughbrough lighting by 66 runs in the t20 at the county ground, with surrey‘s lizelle lee hitting six sixes on her way to a century. loughbrough needed 184 to win, but fell well short, giving the stars the win and their first ever super league title. incredible scenes. thank you. thank

you for those pictures, we saw some of them yesterday but not that kind of them yesterday but not that kind of detail. interesting formula1 decided to release the video to prove the point that the halo for them is progress in terms of driver safety. thank you, see you later. since the uk voted to leave the european union, there has been a question mark over what will happen to the eu citizens living and working in the country after brexit. with the divorce date fast approaching, the government is planning to recruit 4,000 eu citizens for a trial of its post—brexit registration process. anne—laure donskoy, founder of campaign group the3million joins us from our bristol newsroom. good morning to you. what's your reaction to the fact that they are going to try to roll this out to see whether or not and how well it works? yes, indeed. we certainly welcome the fact the home office has decided to try this out before it rolls out the scheme to everybody else. but the sample is actually very small, only 4000 people out of

a potential total of about 3.8 million people. it's also going to target people with a fairly easy set of cases, people in work, people likely to have all the requested paperwork, so overall it should be quite easy to get those through. i'lljust quite easy to get those through. i'll just repeat that quite easy to get those through. i'lljust repeat that question, do you welcome it then? yes, we welcome the trial because it's always a good idea to try something out before you roll it out because when it comes to the home office, there is no such thing as three little questions. it's always much more complicated, the devil is in the detail basically and there's a lot of potential with the scheme for someone to, for instance, given inadvertently wrong information which could be interpreted by the home office as misleading orfalse interpreted by the home office as misleading or false information leading to an application being

rejected. and, of course, people can try again but as we've seen with the permanent residence application, people who been turned down the first time rarely reapply because they're worried about being rejected again. and that can have many consequences on their daily lives and a lot of disruption and potentially they can lose their houses and jobs etc. let's talk about the consequences, why would they lose their houses and jobs?m particular in the case of status, if you're not awarded settled status, if you don't have a means of proving that you are here legally then an employer will have to turn you down, will not have to accept your application. you will not be able to apply forjobs, application. you will not be able to apply for jobs, for banking services. it will become a lot more difficult as well, for instance, to rent somewhere under the right to rent somewhere under the right to rent legislation, whereby a landlord

has to check on behalf of the government that the person who is applying for renting somewhere is legally resident in the country. the brexit secratary dominic raab says the rights of eu citizens in the uk equally important as uk citizens in the eu. do you find that reassuring and do you think the timescales they have here are realistic? well, it's not at all reassuring. you're quite right, the timescale is really important here. this is an unprecedented scheme on an unprecedented scheme on an unprecedented scale, and within the very, very limited timeframe —— a very, very limited timeframe —— a very, very limited timeframe. they've got to put leroux 3.8 million people maximum by the end of december, 2020 —— put through. that's the end of the transition period. the home office has born when it comes to dealing with vast numbers. they say we can do so many million visas per year, but remember what happened with the few hundred

olympic athletes when they were trying to come and perform during the olympics a few years ago. remember what happened recently with just a handful of artists wanting to perform at why mad, and they weren't able to do so because the home office wasn't able to deal with their visa applications in time —— womad. there's a concern here whether the home office has the capacity to do this and do this properly without causing inadvertent harm by processing people in time. we arejust harm by processing people in time. we are just running out of time, thank you for making your points. that test phase launches on the 28th of august in various liverpool universities and nhs trusts in the north—west. we will follow what happens but thank you for your time. we may have enjoyed some record temperatures this summer, but there was no sign of them over the bank holiday weekend, with rain falling in many parts of the country. but even the miserable weather couldn't dampen the spirits of these performers at the notting hill carnival, who danced through the rain.

and in leeds, thousands of fans were forced to battle with the elements at the final day of leeds festival, which was almost a complete washout. carol is in central london with the weather. you need a poncho for things like that. they are the best inventions, iama that. they are the best inventions, i am a recent convert. not a bank holiday for everyone. carol, whitley get better? —— will it. holiday for everyone. carol, whitley get better? -- will it. you would expect rain at all of the festivals because that is what we are all used to. today there is some rain but not everywhere. for many of us, relatively mild start day. a chilly night in aberdeenshire, temperatures fell to four degrees. patchy fog across west wales, but the forecast for most of us is a dry one. there will even be some sunny spells. but there is quite a bit of cloud around, as we have here in london. today we start off on a cloudy note, we have got a weather front coming

in from the west, that is how to introduce rain and that rain will be slow—moving as it crosses north—west scotla nd slow—moving as it crosses north—west scotland and eventually get into northern ireland. windy with it as well, particularly across the northern isles. the brightest skies will be across north—east scotland and england, moving southwards the cloud will build a. although there will be a lot of cloud will start to see a break across the channel islands, central and southern england and the south—east by the end of the afternoon and here we will have the highest averages. has a head onto the evening and overnight, that same weather front gathers speed as it continues to journey south eastwards, taking rain with it, still windy behind it with showers, head of it is cloudy and then have another system coming up across central southern england into east anglia bringing more rain. a low risk of thunder. overnight lows, roundabout 11— 14. tomorrow we start off with that rain in the south—east, that clears away bleeding cloud. our weatherfront

continues to sink south and is weak and fragmenting all the time, really it will be a band of cloud may be with the odd spot of rain. behind it, brighter skies in the north and west which is the odd shower. by the time get to thursday, high—pressure is well and truly on our shores, quiet and settled. again, quite a bit of cloud around, sunny skies and we could just see the show almost anywhere. temperatures by then up to around 21 celsius at test. just a heads up on what will happen thereafter, a wee bit of uncertainty about it at the moment but it looks like next week particularly in the south and west, temperatures will start to climb once again possibly into the mid—to high 20s and four september generally, it is looking like high pressure will be in charge of our weather quite a lot. a lot of dry, unsettled weather with temperatures of up average however on occasions there will be times

where we have cooler conditions and rain. for most of the time it looks like high—pressure will be in charge. thank you, carol. many popular family cars are unable to use a fuel which could be introduced to uk forecourts to cut carbon emissions. you teased us with this one earlier on, what can you tell us? this is something the government has introduced, let me tell you a bit about it. this is a new form of petrol called e10. it's pretty common in other countries. it's called e10 because it's10% biofuel. regular petrol sold in the uk normally contains up to 5% bioethanol. the idea is the more biofuel you put in, the less carbon dioxide comes out. so getting more cars to use e10 could reduce co2 emissions by 2%, that would help the government meet its targets. but according to research from the rac foundation, over 600,000 popular family cars currently on the road won't be able to run on e10. jim holder is editorial director

at haymarket automotive, publisher of whatcar and autocar magazines. just give us the idea of which cars can't use this and why is there such a big problem? so, it is going to be older cars. certainly cars that were sold before 2002. potentially it is ca i’s sold before 2002. potentially it is cars that were sold before 2011, when it became mandatory that all vehicles sold could actually run on e10 fuel. the problem is that the higher at ethanol content can wear away some of the seals and some of the plastics and other materials within the car and cause quite catch traffic problems. so potentially older cars could reach a point where they no longer run. there's a consultation at the moment. is it inevitable it will be introduced ? it is in quite a few other

countries. absolutely. countries such as finland, france and germany have led the way in europe. what has happened is that the uk government has stalled a little bit. it was planning to introduce this a few yea rs planning to introduce this a few years ago but when the problems became apparent it backed off. it wa nts became apparent it backed off. it wants fuel retailers to seize the initiative and go forward and put on the forecourts of. retailers are awaiting the pressure to force them to do that. there is a bit of to and fro at the moment while this goes on. you think it will be a case of another option at the forecourt, rather than the only one? that seems to be the government's preferred way going forward. it seems to want a larger retailers to stock both kinds of fuel. the kind we have now, ethanol and also the 10% so that we have a choice of which way to go. it doesn't want to financially penalise people who are owned these older ca i’s people who are owned these older cars and put them in a situation where they have to buy a new vehicle. but that is a very fine

line to tread. will it be more expesnive? it is interesting, other european countries have reduced the tax on e10 to try to encourage people to use it and get them taking advantage of the environment benefits. but whether our government would do that, traditionally we have one of the highest levels on fuel, whether we do that remains to be seen. talking of which petrol prices are quite high at the moment, what's going on? yeah. the oil prices has gone up again, which has sent prices soaring. we have had a couple of tax increases come true. so motorists are being hit hard at the moment. fuel prices are at a high level. any signs of going down any time soon, do you think? not really. to taxation will never change, i fear it will only go one way and we are beholden to the oil price, which seems to be going up again. thank you. whenever i talk about fuel

prices we get a lot of people getting in touch because it is a thing you notice the more stuff changes of. driving to a petrol station, you can see it there in big letters, you do notice. thank you, see you later. plastic pollution in our seas and the subsequent rubbish washing up on our shores are huge problems for wildlife. in an attempt to improve the situation, marine conservationists in scotland have created an interactive map, which shows where the worst of the waste can be found. its hoped it will help guide those of us who want to roll up our sleeves and clean our beaches, as well as scientists and experts who want to work out where the rubbish is coming from. lorna gordon has been finding out more. taking to the skies in the war against litter. i am going on a flight with the volunteers pinpointing hotspots where plastic rubbish is washing in from the sea. this is a typical, sort of, patrol height and patrol speed. as you can see, things are moving fast reasonably quickly. you can see in some of these inlets there are bits and pieces. there is a fishing inlet.

absolutely, you can see it there. have you found it quite an eye opener? absolutely. from the east coast, the north, the south, the west, the volunteer crews have been methodically criss—crossing scotland's coastline. from the air, flying at the heights ofjust a few hundred feet, you get a unique perspective on the plastic rubbish blighting our shores. from beautiful sandy beaches like this one, to more remote rocky inlets hard to reach by foot, thousands of miles of scotland's coastline are being photographed and surveyed. every photo, every bit of footage, shedding more light on the challenges faced. i feel pretty passionate about this problem. the trouble is, i think that people just don't realise the problem exists because nobody has found the stuff before. the reason you haven't found it is because it is almost impossible to see from the sea and it's almost

impossible to see from the land, because these sites are so isolated. light aircraft are the only real way of finding this stuff. so we have got everything here. we have plastic fish boxes boxes, footballs... from the air, it looks shocking but on the ground it is even worse. this is where the photos are going to have so many different uses, we can see this litter but we are also going to work with universities, with scientists to figure out where is it coming from? can we stop it at source? is it coming from certain places, is to coming form certain outlets, or do we need to go right to the top of government to say we need laws changes to actually stop this entering the oceans in the first place. you need a hand? yeah, please, thanks. some of the areas are tough, sometimes dangerous to reach, but those who know the shoreline well say the map will be a big help. so part of myjob is to visit the most fantastic coast in the world and i suppose i get to those remote places and ifind places that are full of plastic and sometimes i gather it

all together and i'm carrying it back and i think am i really going to make a difference? that is where this project will help, it will open it up to a much wider audience. the hope is highlighting where the worst of the waste is washing up will prompt more action to stem the tide of marine litter scarring some parts of scotland's beautiful coastline. lorna gordon, bbc news. it isa it is a really good idea. and you can see the map as it develops on the marine conservation society's scrapbook website. it is fast approaching seven o'clock. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we will see with a major national headlines shortly. —— see you. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. more than 370 arrests were made at notting hill carnival over the bank holiday weekend, up nearly 20% on last year. one man was stabbed and thirty officers were injured at the event, which saw more than a million people partying on the streets of london. the met has said overall it's happy with how the event went,

and the results of using knife screening arches and extra stop and search powers. a new group has been set up in reading to help men who care for adopted or looked—after children. kalim adopted his daughter nine years ago and is supported through the parenting special children charity. it says help can sometimes be hard to access for men because it's during office hours or targeted at women. men loathe asking for directions, so the same issue, i guess. if you find a lot of men together in a group where they are all are looking or asking for direction, then it doesn't feel that bad, right? it's — i'm not alone, right? the proportion of home movers quitting london for the north or the midlands has more than tripled over the past decade according to a new report.

in the first six months of this year, around 20% of those who left london moved to the north or midlands, up from just 6% ten years ago. the cost of properties in london is said to be a major factor. cattle and sheep are now allowed to graze near buckingham palace. it's part of a week long conservation project to boost wildlife in green park. following a successful pilot with sheep last year, it's hoped the ‘dexter‘ cattle will encourage a greater range of flowers and grasses to grow. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. turning to the roads. traffic is building on blackwall lane towards the tunnel. in chiswick, traffic lights are not working on the high road at the junction with duke's avenue. finally, the a111 chase side is partially blocked by a burst water main at the junction with southgate circus. lets have a check on the weather now with alina jenkins. good morning. it is a mild start to tuesday, it is also a fairly cloudy start and it looks like we are going to hang onto that cloud for much of the day.

it stays mainly dry and here and there the cloud will thin and break to give bright or sunny spells. the best of these for a time this morning for the cloud becomes fairly extensive through the middle part of the day. and then later in the afternoon, the cloud trying to thin and break, we see spells of sunshine. much lighter winds and yesterday, temperatures up to 20 or 21 celsius, 70 fahrenheit. a fine evening, spells of sunshine and then clear skies for a time overnight. as the night wears on, we will see a little bit more cloud developing and also the chance of showers pushing up from the continent. some hit and miss, some stay completely dry, temperatures overnight between 11 and 14 celsius. those showers should be out of the way fairly soon tomorrow, most places mainly dry through wednesday, some spells of sunshine and it stays dry with sunny spells into the weekend further and feeling warmer. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast,

with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: a huge manhunt for this man wanted over the double murder of a mother and daughter stabbed to death in the street in solihull. theresa may sets out a new approach on uk aid to africa as she touches down in cape town. in sport, harry kane sets spurs on their way to a 3—0 win and heaps more misery on manchester united and an unhappy jose mourinho. i won more premierships alone than the other 19 managers together. three for me and two for them. respect... respect! you could be paying too much for your home insurance. new research shows if you don't change provider the price just keeps creeping up. more on thatjust before 8am. and the sequins are out, the glitter ball is up but not all this year's strictly contestants are feeling so confident

about their moves. what was the most complicated dance routine blue did? a lean. like that, like that, like that... and like that. that's it? that was it. good morning from the roof of broadcasting house in london, where it's a fairly cloudy start. it is for many of us today with fairly bright breaks developing later. rain from the north—west accompanied by strengthening winds. more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's tuesday the 28th of august. our top story: police in the west midlands have made a direct plea to a 21—year—old man wanted on suspicion of double murder. officers are advising the public not to approach janbaz tarin, who's been named in connection with the stabbing of his ex—partner raneem owda and her mother, howla in solihull yesterday. jenny kumah reports.

a mother and her daughter stabbed to death. raneem oudeh was 22 years old. her mother, khaola saleem, was 49. their families say they're devastated by their loss. officers are searching for raneem oudeh's former partner in connection with the murders. they're appealing to 21—year—old janbaz tarin to hand himself in. the police discovered the women with serious stab wounds here in the early hours of monday morning. they were confirmed dead at the scene near the family's home. lived in solihull for my whole life, never had anything like this happen so close to home. really shocking for me, you know. with the children here and... i don't know what to say. officers have been carrying out forensic tests and house—to—house enquiries, but the main focus is finding mrtarin. west midlands police say if anyone is found to be shielding him, they will be prosecuted, but they are warning people not to approach him.

jenny kumah, bbc news. in the last hour, theresa may has landed in cape town for her first visit to africa as prime minister. later today she will set out plans for britain to become the biggest investor in the continent after china and will announce a new approach to the uk's spending on aid. our political correspondant jonathan blake joins us now from westminster. jonathan, how significant is this visit? well, number 10 are describing it as an ambitious visit and i think it marks an attempt by the prime minister to explore new opportunities for the united kingdom after brexit. of course, we already have very close links with many african countries but this is about, in the prime minister's words, deepening and strengthening those ties. she'll be visiting south africa, nigeria and kenya over the next couple of days and, most significantly perhaps, is a change

to the way the uk's aid budget is spent. the prime minister will say ina spent. the prime minister will say in a speech later that she is unashamed about wanting britain to benefit from that money, as well as the african countries where it is bent. it won't go towards tackling poverty only, directly, but there will also be a new focus on using aid money to allow british companies to invest more readily in african countries so that it fits with the broader economic and security interests of the united kingdom. but, of course, the prime minister, while looking to deepen and strengthen those links with the african countries, will be able to talk in detail about any potential new trade deals that will be done after brexit. they'll have to wait until after we've left the european union in march next year. jonathan, thank you very much. president trump has announced that flags at the white house and public buildings across the united states will be lowered half—mast once more in honour of senatorjohn mccain, who died on saturday. mr trump, who had clashed repeatedly with mr mccain, faced heavy criticism after flags at some federal buildings were raised

yesterday, far earlier than would normally be expected. i want to extend our prayers and condolences to the victims of the tragic shooting injacksonville, florida. our hearts and prayers are going to the family of senatorjohn mccain. there's gonna be a lot of activity over the next number of days, and we very much appreciate everything that senator mccain has done for our country. several people have been injured in further violence in the eastern german city of chemnitz. anti—fascist demonstrators clashed with far—right activists who were protesting after the arrest of a syrian and an iraqi man on suspicion of murder. german chancellor angela merkel has warned that vigilante justice would not be tolerated. air pollution can lead to a reduction in intellegence, according to new research. academics in china found that high levels led to significant drops in test scores for language and arithmetic,

the average impact was the equivalent of having lost a year of education. testing of the online registration process for eu citizens who want to live and work in the uk after brexit is getting under way. up to 4,000 people in the north—west of england are being recruited for the trial. among them, nhs workers, university staff and students. the home office will monitor how smoothly the system works before it is officially launched later this year. sofia bettiza reports. brexit is only a few months away and the home office is planning ahead. they've asked nhs workers, university staff and students in the north—west of england to make real applications for settled status. so today, the very first eu nationals will officially applied to remain in the uk legally. up to 4000

of them. the eu settlement scheme consists of three key steps that can be done online. applicants will have to... prove their identity. show they live in the uk. and declare any criminal convictions. the uk faces the enormous task of registering more than 3.8 million use citizens who live in britain over the next three years. and there have been concerns the home office lacks the resources to cope with the task. what we really need is a lot of outraged work to be done on behalf of the home office, as well as a lot of the home office, as well as a lot of local support, to indeed support people through the application process to ensure that as many applicants as possible get through the process in time and are not left as... without any paperwork by the time the transition period ends. so

this trial will be closely watched to see how smoothly it handles registrations before it's officially launched later this year. sofia bettiza, bbc news. the us city of detroit is remembering aretha franklin before herfuneral there on friday. people will be able to view her coffin at the african american museum from today. stevie wonder, chaka khan and jennifer hudson are all expected to perform at an outdoor tribute concert on thursday. it's almost that time of year again, strictly come dancing will be back on our sceens in september and last night the line up took to the red carpet to celebrate. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went down to catch up with the contestants. strictly come dancing back for a 16th series. i hope 2018 brings about fun and fabulous, gorgeous dancing. very keen... i think we've got a very good bunch. they're fresh and keen, i love that. yes, yes. keen!

15 new contestants ready to compete for the glitter ball trophy. howjealous were the rest the rest of steps that you were the one that got the call? i think they're really proud of me. i've had lots of encouraging texts, and hopefully you will have them in the audience. i don't wanna show me chest, it's hairy, i don't want to shave it. but i think they're going to get it out. i think there's waxing being talked of and i'm so frightened of that. how much does being an athlete and so competitive help with something like this? definitely, because unless something is perfect, i keep doing it until it is perfect. so i think there's a bit of hunger in there, determination... yeah. you're starting to scare me a bit, lauren. clears throat yes. it has been pointed out that some contestants have more of a dance background than others. dannyjohn—jules once strutted his stuff in a wham video. i've never done any of the genres of dance that they do on this show. what's the most complicated dance routine that blue did? a lean. like that, like that, like that... and like that. that was it?

that's it! and only one dancer has been in every series. it just gets better and better and better. by the way, i'm delighted dan walker's not doing the show. just so you know. dan, i love you, but i'm thrilled you're not doing the show. he hits the ball too far, he hits the golf ball, like, a quarter of a mile. while last year's winner was on hand to give some advice. i know exactly how they're feeling. they're going to be really nervous and thinking, "what have i done? why did i agree to do this?" but they'll soon realise it'll be the best and most intense experiences of their lives. colin paterson, bbc news. that's my excuse for next year. that you can't do strictly because of golf? thank you, anton! i will hang onto that one for another year!” can't see that as an excuse! let's go back to something we've

been talking about over the last few days. it's been a week since british holidaymakers john and susan cooper died suddenly at a resort in the egyptian town of hurghada, and in spite of investigations by the authorities there, we're no closer to knowing what killed them. john and susan's daughter told the bbc that the night they fell ill, her parents could smell something odd in their room, but investigators say they've found no traces of toxic gas. i think when they went back to that room that evening, there was something in that room that's actually killed them. whether they've inhaled something that's poisoned them, i don't know. i can only have my opinion on what's gone on. but there is something that happened in that room that killed my pa rents. while on holiday, a lot of people get the egyptian tummy. they didn't even get that. they had no vomiting, no diarrhoea. the evening before we all went to bed we were having a lovely fa m ily all went to bed we were having a lovely family meal and they were fit and healthy. and the weeks before the holiday? absolutely fine, normal

activities, working, going to the gym, things like that. no long-term illness? no long-term illness, no heart problems, nothing like that. now the priority is for the welfare of my children but also to get my pa rents of my children but also to get my parents back to this country. if i don't agree with the cause of death that comes back to this country, i'll be making my own enquiries as to what's gone on. a really difficult story, this. alison cope was staying at the steigenberger aqua magic hotel with her family when john and susan cooper died. shejoins us now. good morning to you. thank you very much forjoining us. good morning. a devastating story, tell us a bit about... obviously you must have known what had happened, tell us about the atmosphere during that time? yeah, and firstly i want to say that my thoughts are with the cooperfamily. say that my thoughts are with the cooper family. they are the priority in this case. i'm herejust, you know, to its buying what happened to me personally but my condolences are with the cooper family —— to explain

what. thomas cook didn't tell us what. thomas cook didn't tell us what happened, it was rumours going around the hotel and one of the cooperfamily around the hotel and one of the cooper family approached my granddaughter at the bar asking if she was english, she said yes, they burst into tears saying our parents are dead. we think it is carbon monoxide and we contacted thomas cook and said we've heard this, what's going on? they said we can confirm two deaths at the hotel, we can't confirm the cause but we advise you to see the doctor. that's the only response from thomas cook until the thursday. the only response from thomas cook untilthe thursday. did the only response from thomas cook until the thursday. did you're anyone in your family get ill at all? yeah, we were ill about four days into our holiday, around the 14th of august prior to mr and mrs cooper passing away. we highlighted many concerns with the wreck, contacted the resort team and were told there was no problem, nobody was ill —— the rep. ijust find it

shocking that it's now coming out that a lot of people were ill. you say all of you, how many were in your party? there was seven. five of us were very your party? there was seven. five of us were very and very obvious, the other two weren't as ill as the five of us so quite a difference in illness. it was a tummy thing you had? yeah, my sister in a different blog was having respiratory problems and since she's come back to the uk she's been signed off, given antibiotics and an inhaler —— block. the underlying causes will come out but the way the complaints were dealt with and away the health safety of the hotel was very low. this will have a contributing effect and proof as to what's happened. this will have a contributing effect and proof as to what's happenedm you're talking to thomas cook, were you're talking to thomas cook, were you offered a different hotel and we re you offered a different hotel and were others? know. the thing with that, when we went to the rep,

everything we were saying was being dismissed —— no. a resort team said we could look at an alternative hotel, but we set which? they said there aren't any, peak season, we can't move you —— but we set which. when you put your trust in a big company like thomas cook, you trust what they are telling you. they said there's no sickness, no problem, no alternative and basically go away. let me read you the response from thomas cook. they said we've planned to co nta ct thomas cook. they said we've planned to contact thomas cook customers that stayed in the hotel in the last three days, especially during mrs to's state we offered her a move, which was declined, after, say shins with her rep —— mrs cope. thomas cook said it

wasn't a problem. everyone was, like, how come we been told it wasn't a problem? when we found out mrand mrs wasn't a problem? when we found out mr and mrs cooper had died, we didn't want to make it about us, we didn't want to make it about us, we didn't want to start kicking off and shouting and screaming. we backed off and said this isn't about us, this is about mr and mrs cooper. thomas cook are going to look after us thomas cook are going to look after us when we get back and contact us andi us when we get back and contact us and i want to make that point. in resort they said we will call you on saturday, you don't need to do anything, we will be in touch. on saturday they made no contact. i contacted them and they said someone is dealing with it but we don't know which team yet, they will be in touch. then the bbc contacted and they respond to you. they've got no customer care, no respect for the passengers that went on holiday and we re passengers that went on holiday and were left ill and disappointed. they need to address that. thank you very much indeed. ayew better now? i'm much indeed. ayew better now? i'm much better than i was, yet —— are you better now? we read a bit of the

statement from thomas cook. thomas cook says they're aware of a number of people who've come forward to say they've experienced illness while staying at the aqua magic hotel in hurghada. they're putting together a dedicated team to deal with complaints. and in alison's case they say that when she complained about feeling ill they offered her an alternative, which she declined. a sure that is a conversation that you will have ongoing. —— i'm sure. carol is in central london with the weather this morning. iam i am that made you shall want on top of the roof of the bbc and it is fairly cloudy this morning, but it is relatively mild as it is across most of the uk. chilies weather overnight was across aberdeenshire, where it fell to four degrees. a little bit of patchy fog across southwest wales, for most of us that forecast today is a dry one. cloudy at times but equally some of us will see some sunny spells. what is

happening is high—pressure is still very much dominating our weather, but we have got a cold front coming in from the north—west and that is is to introduce some rain in initially across north—west scotland and into northern ireland and it will be a company by strengthening wind. particle in the western isles. you can see the extent of the cloud, also the rain coming in across the north—west. some of that will be had —— some of that will be heavy. and the brightest skies across south—east england and as the cloud approaches it will build. at the end of the day the sunniest conditions are likely to be in central southern england, the south—east and the channel islands. highest temperatures, around the mid—to high teens of. through the ceiling and overnight, that band of rain continues to sink across scotland, northern ireland, across the north of england as well. ahead of it a little bit of cloud with the chao about across the south, ulysses rain

overnight. low chance of some fund. temperatures in11— overnight. low chance of some fund. temperatures in 11— 14. tomorrow that reigned in the south—eastern quarter will move away quite quickly. it will leave residual cloud in its wake. at the same time, a weather front sinks south, a week feature not much more than at the end of cloud, maybe some patchy light rain and behind it for the north of the country we are looking at sunshine and a few showers in the west. by the public to thursday, high pressure well and truly in, much quieter and settled. still a fair bit of cloud but still sunny spells as well. we could see the odd shower but they will be the exception rather than the rule. by then our top amateur is likely to be 20 or21. then our top amateur is likely to be 20 or 21. temperatures generally a little bit higher on thursday that they are going to be today. —— top temperature. thank you very much indeed, we will look forward to the sunshine and as always, you bring it back. but first let's look at the front pages.

the guardian's top story is on air pollution, new research suggests it can lead to significant falls in language and arithmetic ability. the picture at is of a row hinge refugee. —— rohingya. the times leads with its own investigation, which found that the number of pupils who were excluded in the months before gcse exams rose last year. according to the paper, ofsted said it was increasingly concerned. that is a picture of vladimir putin on his holidays. the telegraph leads with a report that claims a labour mp used parliamentary expenses to fund his legal costs during an employment tribunal. the mp, khalid mahmood, says he cannot discuss the case. the price of food, which is expected to soar following the hot weather earlier this summer, makes the front page of the mirror. it says the typical annual grocery bill is set to rise by £86, one of the papers had been to the

strict we come dancing red carpet last. —— strictly come dancing. i have more on that later on, calen track colin paterson was down their sampling the moves. you may —— you may have seen is in papers yesterday. a weight—loss pill has been hailed as a breakthrough in the fight against obesity, after a major study showed it did not increase the risk of serious heart problems. however critics say the weight loss of those taking the drug, locaserin, was minimal, and lifestyle changes would have more impact. we're joined now by gp dr farhat ahmed and professorjason halford, from the european society for the study of obesity. thank you so much for coming in. it was all over the papers yesterday. what are your concerns, first up?”

think the term magic bullet is a bit ofa think the term magic bullet is a bit of a misnomer. think the term magic bullet is a bit ofa misnomer. i think the term magic bullet is a bit of a misnomer. i have been working in anti— obesity drug development for 25 years and have seen a lot of attic bullets and we still have an obesity problem. this drug has its place as part of a copper offensive drug treatment package. it will help patients adhere to that package but it is not a replacement for it. there is then a bit of misunderstanding about how it would use the. we don't use the drug without behavioural intervention and it was tested with the behavioural intervention in place. we talk about side because that has been the concern about other drugs, have they been investigated fully as far as you can see the! it is not here in the uk yet. —— as far as you can see? this drug has been in the states for years now and it is not new, post— marketing has been no issue around side—effects. it is a pa rt issue around side—effects. it is a part of a family drugs who in the fight --

part of a family drugs who in the fight —— in the past have had side—effects, very few but very severe for the minority who got them. it is very important with this class of drugs that you have data like this to demonstrate that there are no long—term side—effects of the type previously seen. if they were available and all of your patients came in and said i read about this, can get hold of this? what would be your reaction? it is not available on the nhs, please don't ask your gp about it! it still needs to be approved and licensed for use in the uk and europe. they look at all of this evidence and say is this worth it? i think what is interesting is people who did really well on it, the ones who looked at their diet, their exercise, we seem to go on about it, but it seems to have the most impact. if you had it to hand as one of the tools in your armoury as one of the tools in your armoury asa gp, as one of the tools in your armoury as a gp, would you like to be able

to prescribe a pill like this? if it worked. if it worked. iam to prescribe a pill like this? if it worked. if it worked. i am probably becoming a cynic now, but we have had lots of these things coming and what is interesting is this trial was sponsored by the people who made the drug. you have to be cautious and there are people who have had serious side—effects from it. i would be cautious about where it would be cautious about where it would be cautious about where it would be used, even as the trial had said, you have to pick your patients who it worked best on. perhaps i would watch that space carefully before i did it. we speak you often about the issue of obesity. the role of the spa must see good industry in that, what sort of role do you think they can play in that safely? well, i think obviously you have to look at the nature of the trials, this was ina at the nature of the trials, this was in a population that was specifically at risk of

cardiovascular problems, it might not be in the same places. one of the problems is with these drugs is that we do not know who will they work for and who they don't work. if they tend to be given to a broad patient population but very little data is collected onto this job would really benefit. —— drug. when you get to the front line you are faced with drugs and don't know what to choose potentially they come onto the market. i want to talk about prices, it is at the moment between $155 —— 155 to £200 per month, compared to other drugs, how does it compared to other drugs, how does it compare and is it good value or not? the only other drug we have is a tablet. it is more expensive than that. but if it is more effective would be worse while looking at it? these are questions that need to be looked at and answered. i think

probably obesity is becoming a bigger problem for us every day and i think we very much to say it is your individual responsibility, it is what you see and how you exercised. yes, but there are other factors beyond our control back control how we see and how we respond to advertising and the stuff we feed our children. that all need a bigger picture, all whole and so to how we open to manage this. —— a more whole answer. thank you both very much. we would like more questions answered. thank you for the moment. 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. more than 370 arrests were made at notting hill carnival over the bank holiday weekend, up nearly 20% on last year. one man was stabbed and thirty officers were injured at the event, which saw more than a million people partying on the streets of london. the met has said overall it's happy with how the event went, and the results of using knife

it's — i'm not alone, right? cattle and sheep are now allowed to graze near buckingham palace. it's part of a week long conservation project in green park. following a successful pilot with sheep last year, it's hoped the ‘dexter‘ cattle will encourage a greater range of flowers and grasses to grow. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. turning to the roads, traffic is building on blackwall lane towards the tunnel. in chiswick, traffic lights are not working on the high road at the junction with duke's avenue. finally, the a111 chase side is partially blocked by a burst water main at the junction with southgate circus. lets have a check on the weather now with alina jenkins. good morning. it is a mild start to tuesday, it is also a fairly cloudy start and it looks like we are going to hang onto that cloud for much of the day.

it stays mainly dry and here and there the cloud will thin and break to give bright or sunny spells. the best of these for a time this morning for the cloud becomes fairly extensive through the middle part of the day. and then later in the afternoon, the cloud trying to thin and break, we see spells of sunshine. much lighter winds and yesterday, temperatures up to 20 or 21 celsius, 70 fahrenheit. a fine evening, spells of sunshine and then clear skies for a time overnight. as the night wears on, we will see a little bit more cloud developing and also the chance of showers pushing up from the continent. some hit and miss, some stay completely dry, temperatures overnight between 11 and 14 celsius. those showers should be out of the way fairly soon tomorrow, most places mainly dry through wednesday, some spells of sunshine and it stays dry with further sunny spells into the weekend further and feeling warmer. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. plenty more over on bbc radio london. bye for now.

had a storming out of a press conference and ranting and renee of looking wide—eyed and very unhappy. only three games! exactly, but there's something significant about those three games! last night was not a good night for manchester united, after the whistle macro mourinho went to the fans and he picked up a shirt and a scarf. what message was he sending to the fans? was he saying goodbye? was he saying thank you? was he saying goodbye? was he saying thank you ? was was he saying goodbye? was he saying thank you? was he saying we're in this together? if he was going to make a fuss of anyone it might have been paul pogba. .. make a fuss of anyone it might have been paul pogba... he tried to talk to his players, it didn't go very well. a thumping win then for spurs at old trafford last night, 3—0 over manchester united who's start to the season goes from bad to worse. andy swiss was watching. only three games in but already under the spotlight. on a night whenjoe mourinho cut a frustrated figure, more questions about his future. earlier, his united side should

have taken the lead. romelu lukaku with a gaping net which he somehow failed to find. the manager understandably miffed. and after the break how tottenham made them pay. who else but harry kane, and barely had his pinpoint precision put spurs ahead and it was 2—0 as united's defensive frailties were brutally exposed by lucas moura. the visitors, ecstatic. the hosts, rather less so. soon their misery was complete. mourinho wanted a new defender in the summer and you can see why as moura raced through to make it three. for his watching manager, his employers, and above all united's fans, the most painful of nights. at the close, mourinho applauded them, but the big question now is where does he go from here? andy swiss, bbc news. this is war we were talking about. —— this is what we were talking

about. mourinho was not happy in his press conference after the match and felt he was getting enough respect from the media. no, just to finish, do you know what was the result? 3-0. reporter: you lost 3-0. do you know what this means? 3-0! but also mean three premierships, and i won more premierships alone than the other 19 managers together. three for me and two for them. respect... respect, respect, respect. i wonder, is he saying that because arsene wenger is no longer at arsenal? he had three as well, didn't he? i was reading some of the quotes as well yesterday, we work all week and strategically we didn't lose, he said. tactically we didn't lose, he said. tactically we didn't lose, but we lost the game. you're talking about seeing the fans after, the fans don't read papers, they don't watch television, they're more intelligent than that. the answer is

they answer in amazing ways so that's why he went over to the fans after, he said that was him communicating with them. interesting that... lots of manchester united fa ns rea d that... lots of manchester united fans read the newspapers and watch the television and they listen to the television and they listen to the pod casts and phoned the phoneins. many aren't happy. manchester united today are launching their new away kit —— phone. the see how that goes! —— let's see how that goes. one other line of football news, and it's expected that arsenal will become a private company today. the majority shareholder stan kroenke will own all the club's shares through a complusary purchase if the remaining small shareholders haven't already sold them to him. kroneke recently bought out billionaire alisher usmanov, to take his shareholding to 97%. andy murray is back into the swing of winning at grand slam tournaments! he's through his first—round clash at the us open, beating australia's james duckworth in four sets. it was murray's first best—of—five—set match in 14 months, having had surgery on a long—term hip injury at the start of this year. kyle edmund, though, is out. the british number one started well, winning the first set.

but he then started to struggle with the rising temperatures and humidity on court, and eventually lost in four sets to italy's paolo lorenzi. better news for british number two cameron norrie. he is through after beating jordan thompson. despite playing well to qualify heather watson has gone out. she lost in the first round to russia's ekaterina makarova. it's the eighth year in a row that watson has lost in the first round at the us open. and the first round already has a major upset. the world number one, simona halep, knocked out by estonia's kaia kanepi in straight sets. it's the first time since 1968 that a top seed has lost in the opening round at flushing meadows. serena williams is through though. surrey stars are the new women's super league champions. they beat loughbrough lighting by 66 runs in the t20 at the county ground, with surrey‘s lizelle lee hitting six sixes on her way to a century. loughbrough needed 184 to win, but fell well short, giving the stars the win and their first ever super league title. i know lots of you will have seen

the belgian grand prix on sunday. you would have seen the horrific crash between fernando alonso and charles leclerc. well, formula one have released a new video from leclerc on board camera. here it is. it's all about the halo, the piece of equipment protecting the head. watch this. that is one of fernando alonso's tires that would have directly hit leclerc‘s head without the halo. incredible pictures. that's one of the reasons formula 1 insisted on the change. some fans didn't like it, saying it changes the way the car moves but you can see why it is so important. vindicated. exactly. thanks, sally. plastic pollution, clogging up our seas and our coastlines. we know it's a huge problem, but where exactly does it all come from? marine conservationists in scotland

are trying to come up with some answers. they're taking to the skies to try to get a sense of the bigger picture, as lorna gordon explains. taking to the skies in the war against litter. i'm going on a flight with the volunteers pinpointing hotspots where plastic rubbish is washing in from the sea. this is a typical, sort of, patrol height and patrol speed. as you can see, things are moving fast reasonably quickly. you can see in some of these inlets there are bits and pieces. there is a fishing net or something. absolutely, you can see it there. have you found it quite an eye—opener? absolutely. from the east coast, the north, the south, the west, the volunteer crews have been methodically criss—crossing scotland's coastline. from the air, flying at the heights ofjust a few hundred feet, you get a unique perspective of the plastic rubbish blighting our shores. from beautiful sandy beaches like this one, to more remote rocky inlets hard to reach by foot, thousands of miles of scotland's coastline

are being photographed and surveyed. every photo, every bit of footage, shedding more light on the challenges faced. i feel pretty passionate about this problem. the trouble is i think that people just don't realise the problem exists because nobody has found the stuff before. the reason you haven't found it is because it is almost impossible to see from the sea and it's almost impossible to see from the land, because these sites are so isolated. light aircraft are the only real way of finding this stuff. so we have got everything here. we have plastic fish boxes boxes, footballs... from the air, it looks shocking but on the ground it is even worse. this is where the photos are going to have so many different uses, we can see this litter but we are also going to work with universities, with scientists to figure out where is it coming from? can we stop it at source? is it coming from certain places, is to coming form certain outlets, or do we need to go right to the top of government to say we need laws changes to actually stop this entering the oceans

in the first place. you need a hand? yeah, please, thanks. some of the areas are tough, sometimes dangerous to reach, but those who know the shoreline well say the map will be a big help. so part of myjob is to visit the most fantastic coast in the world and i suppose i get to those remote places and ifind places that are full of plastic and sometimes i gather it all together and i'm carrying it back and i think am i really going to make a difference? that is where this project will help, it will open it up to a much wider audience. the hope is highlighting where the worst of the waste is washing up will prompt more action to stem the tide of marine litter scarring some parts of scotland's beautiful coastline. lorna gordon, bbc news. some really shocking pieces... pictures there. and you can see the map as it develops on the marine conservation society's scrapbook website. talking of the coastline in scotland, did you see this in the

papers today? pineapples have been turning up on the shores of northern scotla nd turning up on the shores of northern scotland and scavengers have been rushing to the beach. " the fruit, which appeared on shetland and the beaches of the western isles, is thought to come from several container vessels that went overboard in the atlantic last october". they've been wobbling around. still edible? a good question, i was trying to get to that part. they were a bit shrivelled up. " zoe henry, who found them on the beach, thought it was very strange found them on the beach, thought it was very strange to the them not on a tropical island. they were slightly shrivelled but ok —— to see them". carol is in central london with the weather this morning. some good news on the way? good news if you like it warm. you pronounce it right. it is a cloudy start in london, in fact a cloudy start across many parts of the uk today.

the forecast is one of a lot of dry weather. but also a little bit of sunshine developing. this morning the best of the sunshine will be north—east scotland, north—east england, but we do have a weather front coming in from the north—west and that syncs south eastwards, it will introduce more cloud ahead of it. high—pressure means for the rest of us it is a fairly quiet day weatherwise. first thing this morning, it is cloudy. we got the sunshine across the north—east, that will fill in with cloud through the day as the rate approaches. as it comes in across the west isles, the wind will strengthen the quite gusty wind will strengthen the quite gusty wind you. we will see brighter brea ks wind you. we will see brighter breaks developed through the decor but by the end of the day the sunny skies will be across the channel islands, central and southern england and also the south—east. is where we will have the highest temperatures, looking at the highest around 19 or20. temperatures, looking at the highest around 19 or 20. if you are in the rain, it is more likely to be around 14. in between from the mid—to high teens. as we had on through eating

into overnight, we are looking at that same weather front sinking southwards, producing still some rain across the west of scotland, northern ireland and into northern england. ahead of it, one or two showers but in the south and new band of rain comes in across central and southern england, east anglia and southern england, east anglia and the south—east and some of that could also be happy. temperature is not that low, you let them 14. tomorrow —— 11 to 14. weather front sinking southwards will be a weak feature, mostly at the end of cloud, perhaps some patchy light rain. behind it, their bit of sunshine and one or two showers in the west. overtime get to thursday high—pressure is well and truly ensconced across our shores. still a bit of cloud at times but it will fit in and break, some sunshine coming, one or two showers here and there that they will be the exception rather than the rule. highs ofaround exception rather than the rule. highs of around 21. if you like your weather that it warm, they are asking, this could change, early

next week particularly so across the south and east we could have highs from the mid to the high 20s and for the autumn it looks at high—pressure will be the dominant weather across our shores. did you see that he didn't? i thought it was going to land on my head! it took half of my hair away. it suddenly felt better of it. well avoided, carol. home insurance customers can find themselves paying a loyalty penalty for sticking with the same provider. that's according to a leading consumer group this morning. you are to be surprised, this is a lot to do with switching. there is research at this morning that our customers with home and contents insurance were paying £75 more per year when they renewed their policy, compared to a new customer, which is

30% more on average. the research also showed that just gets worse with time. after four to six years you were paying around 54% more than new customers. hanahh maundrell is editor in chief of money.co.uk. more and more soberly at getting figures that switching is better to do. is this a typical scenario? figures that switching is better to do. is this a typical scenario7m really is. loyalty just do. is this a typical scenario7m really is. loyaltyjust doesn't pay. insurers will give you a discount in your first year and make a loss because they know you are likely to stay with them year after year and they can put a premium up a new notice. even though the financial regulating made it now that the insurers had to put the cost of the previous policy on your renewal documents, still people would renew because it seems to much effort. the real issue with home insurance isn't just the additional costs that you will pay, it is that if you got home

insurance policy ten years ago, it probably would be fit for purpose. if you came to claim you wouldn't actually find that your contents and buildings that you got in your home would be covered. why is that? if you think about the amount of possession is that you have over that amount of time and maybe you get new tvs, a new painting or any piece of jewellery get new tvs, a new painting or any piece ofjewellery or even a new bike. if your policy does not cover those specifically you could want to make claim but it wouldn't be covered. this is our fault, isn't it, that we are not switching? whose fault is it? should the insurance companies pay loyalty more, do you think? certainly they have woken up to this and the association of edition insurers and brokers organisation have as well that our guiding principles for their members, who are going to look at customers who have been with the insurers for over five years and ta ke insurers for over five years and take action to review whether they are actually, their premiums are priced fairly. that will take a couple of years. the keating is to

look at your policy when it is renewal, ask whether it does what you need it to and if not gone a comparison website and get quotes and compare your options. you don't have to switch. is it worth bringing your own provider and putting it to them? absolutely. go and do your research, i doubt what you need and get quotes and if you are unhappy, give your insurer to call and asked what they can do to you. sometimes you will go on a comparison site and find the current policy is therefore less you are playing —— for less than you are paying. it might be worth cancelling and taking one out asa worth cancelling and taking one out as a new customer because it could cost less. we are talking about home and contents insurance, if we look about —— if you look at what we are talking about, you could spend half your light switching. there is a sense of, even though we say one individual thing might take time, when you add it all together, would it be worked —— worth it?

when you add it all together, would it be worked -- worth it? if you calculated how much time you went to work at two spend money and you could calculate how much you could save hundreds of pounds of. if your boss said i will pay you a couple of 100 pounds for half an hour ‘s work on it is worth taking. otherwise you are paying out necessarily —— unnecessarily, who would want that? that is a good way of putting it. thank you for your time. let us know if you have any comments or thoughts on it. a good way it thinking —— a good way of thinking of it. 50 people have been recognised for their kindness, courage and selflessness in this years' happy list, compiled by the independent. the oldest on the list, 86—year—old dilys price, is recognised for her regular charity skydives — and one of the youngest, 10—year—old keira, is highlighted for supporting her local hospice in memory of her dad stephen. they both join us now alongside keira's nan julie. morning everybody. lovely to see you. congratulations, by the way.

family? it was amazing. we were all speechless when we found out. you must be really proud of her. knowing that she has done this, she is on the list, how much is doing all of this at helping the hospice, how much is that made an effect? passively. she suffered badly when her dad died for a while, as you can imagine. chicane to us today and saidl imagine. chicane to us today and said i want to do something for doctors kershaw. we changed that and it has made, her confidence has grown so it has made, her confidence has grown so much and it has made her a completely different child. this might be hard to talk about, but this link to what she was saying about helping other people. how does it make you feel when you are able to put a smile on someone else's face? it makes the fool like a really nice person but i enjoy what ido really nice person but i enjoy what i do anyway. that is the attitude from both of you, to enjoy what you

are doing. the young generation, there is so much good there. is wonderful to see them growing up and civil society will be like when they are adults of. tell us what you felt when you are first took up skydiving? i was 55 and terrified of height. i had a group and we did speciality gymnastic things and with children special needs. we were running out of money and i said you need to do is to skydive. of course ifi need to do is to skydive. of course if i was —— if they were going to do it, i had to do well. i was so scared but a wonderful thing was i was scared but when i had done it i knew i had found my hubby. and now you have done, 100 —— 1000, 139 die as? that is right. —— 1139 dives. again, those nurses and doctors have

put me on track and i should be raising money for them because they are so raising money for them because they are so much wonderful people. quietly, district nurtures —— district nurses come to me and they arejust doing theirjob, but district nurses come to me and they are just doing theirjob, but they are just doing theirjob, but they are not just are just doing theirjob, but they are notjust doing theirjob, they changed i live. louise asked you about how proud you are, i imagine it is amazing to think that you probably thought as a family you would have to spend a lot of time looking after her and she comes to you and said i would love to help other people and by doing that it will help me. yeah. she has got a really good family backing because of the way that it has made a difference to her. as a she is happy doing it, we are happy. she likes to give terminal people their last wish. there was a load of us who are too black will, her last wish was to go back to the seaside, she went to blackpool and the money she raised

paste —— paid forthe blackpool and the money she raised paste —— paid for the ambulance to ta ke paste —— paid for the ambulance to take her. it is story —— stories like that that is inspiring. you mentioned that you swim. are you planning to do another sponsored swim? yes. have you decided how long? not yet. we talk about bad news obviously a lot of the time, but it is nice that there is a happy list for want. isn't it wonderful? in fact, that is what i want to do in the future is emphasise the amount of good things that are being done by ordinary people. in fact, we have started a new thing called celebration, which we write down every week the ordinary things that they do which are really good. then we share it together and we can clap and smile at each other. so yes, you are doing a greatjob and bring out the good in life. if anyone out there is having a bad tuesday, they

will put a smile on your face. you have certainly cheered me up. not enough to jump out of a plane. thank you very much. thank you very much indeed. it is two instincts. survival and service and we don't really have a life of well—being until we do both. that is the future for the 21st century. lovely to see you all. it is coming up to eight o'clock. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. see you in a couple of minutes. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. more than 370 arrests were made at notting hill carnival over the bank holiday weekend, up nearly 20% on last year. one man was stabbed and thirty officers were injured at the event, which saw more than a million people partying on the streets of london. the met has said overall it's happy with how the event went, and the results of using knife screening arches and extra stop and search powers.

a new group has been set up in reading to help men who care for adopted or looked—after children. kalim adopted his daughter nine years ago and is supported through the ‘parenting special children' charity. it says help can sometimes be hard to access for men because it's during office hours or targeted at women. men loathe asking for directions, so the same issue, i guess. if you find a lot of men together in a group where they are all are looking or asking for direction, then it doesn't feel that bad, right? it's — i'm not alone, right? the proportion of home movers quitting london for the north or the midlands has more than tripled over the past decade according to a new report. analysis by hamptons international found in the first six months of this year, around 20% of those who left london moved to the north or midlands, up from 6% ten years ago. the cost of properties in london is said to be a major factor.

cattle and sheep are now allowed to graze near buckingham palace. it's part of a week long conservation project in green park. following a successful pilot with sheep last year, it's hoped the dexter cattle will encourage a greater range of flowers and grasses to grow. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. very slow traffic on the london bound m4 from junction 3, as far as junction 2. in chiswick, traffic lights are not working on the high road at the junction with duke's avenue. finally, the a111 chase side is partially blocked by a burst water main at the junction with southgate circus. lets have a check on the weather now with alina jenkins. good morning. it is a mild start to tuesday, it is also a fairly cloudy start and it looks like we are going to hang onto that cloud for much of the day. it stays mainly dry and here and there the cloud will thin and break to give bright or sunny spells. the best of these for a time this morning for the cloud becomes fairly

extensive through the middle part of the day. and then later in the afternoon, the cloud trying to thin and break, we see spells of sunshine. much lighter winds and yesterday, temperatures up to 20 or 21 celsius, 70 fahrenheit. a fine evening, spells of sunshine and then clear skies for a time overnight. as the night wears on, we will see a little bit more cloud developing and also the chance of showers pushing up from the continent. some hit and miss, some stay completely dry, temperatures overnight between 11 and 14 celsius. those showers should be out of the way fairly soon tomorrow, most places mainly dry through wednesday, some spells of sunshine and it stays dry with further sunny spells into the weekend further and feeling warmer. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. plenty more over on bbc radio london. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker.

a lean, like that. like that, like that, and like that. that was it?! that's it! good morning. fairly cloudy this morning. for many, fairly cloudy day, with breaks in the south—east, but rain coming in from the north—west with strengthening winds. more in 15 minutes. it's tuesday, 28th august. our top story... police in the west midlands have made a direct plea to a 21—year—old man wanted on suspicion of double murder. officers are advising the public not to approach janbaz tarin, who's been named in connection with the stabbing of his ex—partner, raneem oudeh, and her mother, khaola, in solihull yesterday. jenny kumar reports. a mother and her daughter stabbed to death. raneem oudeh was 22 years old. her mother, khaola saleem, was 49. their families say they're devastated by their loss.

officers are searching for raneem oudeh's former partner in connection with the murders. they're appealing to 21—year—old janbaz tarin to hand himself in. the police discovered the women with serious stab wounds here in the early hours of monday morning. they were confirmed dead at the scene near the family's home. lived in solihull for my whole life, never had anything like this happen so close to home. really shocking for me, you know. with the children here and... i don't know what to say. officers have been carrying out forensic tests and house—to—house inquiries, but the main focus is finding mrtarin. west midlands police say if anyone is found to be shielding him, they will be prosecuted, but they are warning people not to approach him. jenny kumah, bbc news. and west midlands police have tweeted about this in the last hour. they say they've searched a number

of addresses overnight, looking forjanbaz tarin, but he has not yet been arrested. they're asking anyone who knows where he is to call 999. in other news this morning... in the last hour, theresa may has landed in cape town for her first visit to africa as prime minister. later today, she will set out plans for britain to become the biggest investor in the continent, after china, and she will announce a new approach to the uk's spending on aid. our political correspondant, jonathan blake, joins us now from westminster. how significant is this visit?m how significant is this visit? it is significant. number 10 is describing it as an ambitious trip to africa and that a new mentioned for the uk to become the biggest of the g7 countries when it comes to investing in africa, it is certainly an ambitious task requiring a huge amount of new investment from british businesses and the british government to overtake the us. theresa may will be visiting south

africa, she is in cape town today, and nigeria and kenya,. she will be looking to strengthen ties and deepen the links between the uk and africa where populations and economies have been growing fast over the last few years. china and other big world powers investing heavily. the uk not wanting to miss out. there is a sense it has lost ground and it is looking to re—energise the amount of investment british firms put into african economies. also talking about that aid money the uk spends in africa, the prime minister saying in a speech later she is unashamed about the money wanting to benefit britain as well, it will not go to adjust alleviating poverty but it will allow british companies to invest more freely in those african countries as well. thank you very much. president trump has announced that flags at the white house and public buildings across the united states

will be lowered half—mast once more, in honour of senatorjohn mccain, who died on saturday. mr trump, who had clashed repeatedly with mr mccain, faced heavy criticism after flags at some federal buildings were raised yesterday, far earlier than would normally be expected. several people have been injured in further violence in the eastern german city of kemnitz. antifascist demonstrators clashed with far—right activists who were protesting after the arrest of a syrian and an iraqi man on suspicion of murder. german chancellor angela merkel has warned that vigilante justice would not be tolerated. air pollution can lead to a reduction in intelligence, according to new research. academics in china found that high levels led to significant drops in test scores for language and arithmetic. the average impact was the equivalent of having lost a year of education. testing of the online registration process for eu citizens who want to live and work in the uk after brexit is getting under way. up to 4,000 people in the north—west of england are being recruited for the trial — among them, nhs workers,

university staff and students. the home office will monitor how smoothly the system works before it is officially launched later this year. what we really need is a lot of outreach work to be done there is no such thing as three little questions, it is always much more complicated, the devil is in the detail and there is a lot of potential with the scheme for someone potential with the scheme for someone to, for instance, give inadvertently wrong information. the us city of detroit is remembering aretha franklin before herfuneral there on friday. people will be able to view her coffin at the african american museum from today. stevie wonder, chaka khan and jennifer hudson are all expected to perform at an outdoor tribute concert on thursday. that will no doubt be incredible. it's almost that time of year again. kind of reminds me of autumn is on

its way. could have done better than that! strictly come dancing will be back on our screens in september and last night, the line up took to the red carpet to celebrate. that was very average! our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went down to catch up with the contestants. strictly come dancing back for a 16th series. i hope 2018 brings about fine and fabulous, gorgeous dancing. very keen... i think we've got a very good bunch. they're fresh and keen, i love that. yes, yes. keen! 15 new contestants ready to compete for the glitterball trophy. how jealous were the rest of steps that you were the one that got the call? i think they're really proud of me. i've had lots of encouraging texts, and hopefully you will have them in the audience. i don't want to show me chest, it's hairy, i don't want to shave it. but i think they're going to get it out. i think there's waxing being talked of and i'm so frightened of that. how much does being an athlete and so competitive help

with something like this? definitely, because unless something is perfect, i keep doing it until it is perfect. so i think there's a bit of hunger in there, determination... yeah. you're starting to scare me a bit, lauren. yes. it has been pointed out that some contestants have more of a dance background than others. dannyjohn—jules once strutted his stuff in a wham video. i've never done any of the genres of dance that they do on this show. what's the most complicated dance routine that blue did? a lean. like that, like that, like that... and like that. that was it?! that's it! and only one dancer has been in every series. it just gets better and better and better. by the way, i'm delighted dan walker's not doing the show. just so you know. dan, i love you, but i'm thrilled you're not doing the show. he hits the ball too far, he hits the golf ball, like, a quarter of a mile. while last year's winner was on hand to give some advice... i know exactly how they're feeling. they're going to be really nervous and thinking, "what have i done? why did i agree to do this?"

but they'll soon realise it'll be the best and most intense experience of their lives. colin paterson, bbc news. he says he is glad you are not doing it because you are good at golf, i do not see the correlation. he isa do not see the correlation. he is a very nice bloke and a good golfer. they always look so nervous. you would be. this morning, we've been hearing about the government's decision to ban electric shock collars for pets in england. the training devices deliver up to 6,000 volts of electricity to control animals' behaviour. the move signifies an end to over a decade of campaigning for some charities, but not everyone agrees. we caught up with some dog walkers to get their thoughts. i'm not a great admirer of electric collars. i think any responsible dog owner should take care of their dogs anyway,

so electric collars sound very extreme to me, to be honest. i've never ever considered one, never would consider one. personally, i don't think it's right to have an electric collar on a dog. a dog is meant to bark. whether they are noisy, you can't get away from it. it is one of those things. i wouldn't fit one. definitely, definitely wouldn't fit one. they shouldn't need an electric collar, if you train them well enough. i can understand that people have difficulties with their dogs, but i do not think there is ever a situation where it would be ok. never had to use one and i don't think i ever would have done, to be honest. so banning them, i don't think that's a problem. i think people just train their dogs properly and make sure they are in control, then there shouldn't be a problem. thank you to everyone who took part

in that. dog trainer and collar advocate jamie penrith joins us now from plymouth, and rachel casey, head of behaviour of the dogs trust, joins us from glasgow. morning to you both. jamie, you first of all because as you heard, the vast majority of those people we interviewed were in favour of not using these, you use them, can you explain what benefits they have from your point of view in terms of training dogs? absolutely. i was one of those people, i was firmly in theircamp i was one of those people, i was firmly in their camp completely and utterly against the idea, i thought it was totally unnecessary, until such a time as i gained experience and required the use of one and in my circumstances, it was for a dog killing livestock and there was no other means proved effective. since then, the use and application of

electronic training aids is above and beyond a punitive device, when you hear about electric shock collars, you emotively grab people, it did me, but the fact is, they are not used in that sense. professionally used, and electronic training aids follows compassionate guidelines, justified guidelines, necessary and proportionate use which is why we have been campaigning for not an upright ban but certainly education, limitation, restrictions. but because you have a great many people who say, i would never use one, that is terrific, thatis never use one, that is terrific, that is what you would push for, utopia, but it does not mean the desperate compassionate loving dog owners who have tried for months or yea rs owners who have tried for months or years and years and taken on rescue dogs, a third of the dogs in our survey, the association of responsible dog owners, they have been from rescue, they have been

through training and behaviour modification, and these people have decided to give the dogs a second chance and they are trying their damnedest but they cannot reach them. with the inclusion of a remote training collar, they have seen tremendous results and they have allowed the dogs the freedom of behavioural expression all animals deserve. these people are complying with legal and ethical requirements but it is something you need to experience before you can genuinely make an educated comment. let me put those points to rachel, surelyjamie makes a valid point that when you hear about 6000 volts, you think, how can we do this? yetjamie says it is really helpful in some cases? good morning and thank you for inviting me on. we have both good research evidence and evidence from our experience in dogs trust that it is not necessary to use these

devices and i think people tend to use them because they are looking for some kind of quick fix to try to sort out a problem they have with their dog over sort out a problem they have with theirdog overa sort out a problem they have with their dog over a quick period of time. but we know from experience that we can use positive reward —based training and get to the same end point, the same effect on the dogs, but with less impact on their welfare and have less danger of creating further behaviour problems by using a much more ethical approach to training. there is really good research evidence both looking at the application of training collars in training events, done by trainers who are used to using the collars and they are experienced in them, as compared to positive reinforcement training and we know from research that there is no difference in outcome between the two different types of training but the dogs trained with electric collars they are more stressed, they show behavioural signs of stress and

physiological indicators they are very unhappy. and we know from research that if you use an electronic collar and take the dog back to the context in which it was used, it carries on showing stress thereafter. rachel, i have got to jump thereafter. rachel, i have got to jump in. you and jamie have given really good answers but i want to come back to both of you, give you the opportunity to make both points of view, and if you both give really long answers again, we cannot do that. jamie, first of all, rachel's point about the quick fix. the quick fix is incorrect. i have thousands of voices screaming in my ears, people i know who have contacted me directly who have spent yea rs contacted me directly who have spent years working with their dogs. if i can mention as well, in february this year the government sent out letters saying there was insufficient evidence to support a ban and then two years later there was evidence to support a ban on the

punitive devices. no further research was conducted in the ulstermen weeks. in august of this year a successful prosecution took place in blackpool of a bach collar and what that shows, and it was basically because it was fitted and put on incorrectly and caused an injury to the neck of the dog, which shouldn't and wouldn't happen with education, but this shows the existing legislation is sufficient, the animal welfare act is sufficient to cover u nnecessa ry the animal welfare act is sufficient to cover unnecessary harm and suffering to animals through training tools, whatever they may be. the target electronic training aids as something specific of individual legislation is a political skittle. it is an easy target, very few people use it or have experience of them, it's very easy to get people emotive about it and the... i know you both know your stuff and have plenty to say honorary emotive subject, but i'm not sure that was much shorter, jimmy! —— on a really emotive

subject. back to you, go. the we are jumping for joy at subject. back to you, go. the we are jumping forjoy at dogs trust today because we have been campaigning for this for a long time. we know from research they are unnecessary, no positive benefit, and there is years and years of evidence that they can be used abuse of late, asjamie has already spoken about, but we also know from research that even if they are used responsibly they can cause stress for dogs so we are absolutely delighted today that defra have looked at all the evidence for the consultation including the research evidence they funded a few years ago but also gathering evidence from all the different stakeholders and have absolutely come to the right decision, that is out of date devices should be banned. rachel casey, jamie penrith, thank you both so casey, jamie penrith, thank you both so much for coming on, for knowing your stuff and being from completely opposite ends of the opinion spectrum but arguing in a very nice and considered way. great to speak to you both. i imagine lots of you watching that have equally

differentiated use or thoughts. anyway, do get in touch and let us know what you think about what should be done. it is 19 minutes past eight. let's find out about the weather. it will be getting a bit warmer, carol? yes, you're quite right. today we have quite a lot of drag around. not particularly cold but the forecast for today is a dry one. we will see some sunshine around, particularly in the north—east of scotland and england, clouding over during the day, then we will see the sunshine will be in the south of the country. what we also have as a weather front coming across the north west of scotland which will introduce some rain. going through the morning, you can see how

the rain moves in across the outer hebrides into the north west of scotland, then later in the northern ireland. that will be accompanied by strengthening gusty winds particularly across the outer hebrides. head of that, a lot of cloud building where we have had sunshine first thing. they are, you can see a lot of sunshine coming out of that, but by the end of the day it is central, southern england, the channel islands, they will have the lion's share of the sunshine and this is where we will have the temperatures, up to 20, perhaps 21. in the rain it is more likely to be 14, and in between in the cloud we are looking at the net the high teens. overnight, the rain gathers a bit of speed crossing the rest of scotla nd bit of speed crossing the rest of scotland and in the northern england —— mid to high teens. then the odd shower, and in the south another system bringing in some rain across central southern england and into the south—east corners. some of that to be heavy. first thing tomorrow that will clear off into the north sea leaving residual cloud in its wa ke sea leaving residual cloud in its wake and meanwhile our front continues to sink south as a fragmenting and weakening band, which means it really would be more than some late patchy rain on it at times. for the north of the country —— like and patchy rain. just the odd shower in the north of the

country and sunshine. by thursday, high pressure well and truly across our shores which means things will be more settled, much quieter. still a bit of cloud at times but some sunny spells as well. you could catch the odd shower but they will be the exception rather than the rule. temperatures again claiming, hide again roundabout that all 20s —— temperatures will climb again. then next week it looks like parts of the southend east could have temperatures once again back into the mid to high 20s. the rest of the uka the mid to high 20s. the rest of the uk a greater chance of rain, but that could change. but it is something positive for summer us a nyway to something positive for summer us anyway to look forward to. back to you, dan and lou. studio: i love the sunshine, carol, so studio: i love the sunshine, carol, soi studio: i love the sunshine, carol, so i shall look forward to it! carol is back in the nice weather is returning with her. she has power! we like to complain about them, give them a hard time,

and we occasionally make fun of them, but how much do we really need our elected politicians? northern ireland has been without a devolved government for more than a year and a half. now, a dad from enniskillen has started a social media campaign to try to get the country's politicians back into stormont, as emma vardy has been finding out. ..that we have no clue what's going to happen, and nobody properly speaking upfor us... it started with a facebook rant. so i suppose i want to try and do something about it — i want to say to the politicians, "you know something, enough is enogh and we deserve better," and... after dylan quinn vented his frustration at northern ireland's lack of government, he began to get thousands of responses. so, wedeservebetter really grew out of a video that i did, outside my house in fermanagh and it was a call for people to join me in some sort of campaign event to mark the fact that we were going to end up without a government for 589 days and to say, "this is ludicrous," and i asked people tojoin me. he is hoping this will be the wa ke—up call that northern ireland's politicians need. it's about saying, "we need something different here," and they need to resolve that.

northern ireland's devolved government in stormont collapsed in january last year, after a bust up over a disastrous green energy scheme. since then, talks between the dup and sinn fein to try and restore power—sharing have come to nothing. with no resolution between the main parties, there is currently little expectation of a government returning here any time soon. and for some within the civil service that's leading to frustration, because when it comes to big decisions, their hands are tied. with no ministers to sign things off, there is £1—2 billion worth of projects that have been now put on hold. a major transport hub for belfast, a new cruise ship quay for the harbour, and the refurbishment of northern ireland's decaying gaelic football stadium are some of the developments that are left in limbo. well, economic growth in northern ireland is tracking 0.5% below the rest of the uk as a whole, and we are tracking 3% below the republic of ireland,

and something similar across are the eu member states. —— across other eu member states. if northern ireland is going to succeed as a region, we have to get our economy growing to 2—3% per year, so that's quite a step change from where we are today. and public services are suffering, northern ireland has the longest hospital waiting lists in the uk, with no politicians in place to help tackle the problem. the waiting lists really extend across every part of the health—care system. there are a significant number of projects that probably need to be acted on, but need a politician in place to sign off those agreements. northern ireland has now surpassed belgium's world record for being a democratic nation without its own government for the longest. later today, rallies sparked by dylan's campaign will be held across the country to urge politicians to resolve their differences. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. now, is the nation ready for this?
