of rain moving south and east and when it clears behind it, we'll see a bit of cloud breaking with some sunshine and a few showers. i'll have more in 15 minutes. it's wednesday the 29th of august. our top story: a mother and daughter killed in a suspected double murder in solihull were on the phone to police as they were attacked, according to detectives. police are continuing to search forjanbaz tarin after his former partner, 22—year—old raneem oudeh, and her mother, khaola saleem, were fatally attacked in the early hours of bank holiday monday. jenny kumah reports. the manhunt continues. paid the police believe 21—year—old janbaz tarin, an afghan national

here legally, is responsible for the murder of two women. his former partner, raneem oudeh, seen here on the left, and her mother, khaola saleem. both were syrian nationals. raneem oudeh had a two—year—old son and was one of six siblings. the women were stabbed to death in the early hours of monday morning here in the family's home. police have now revealed raneem oudeh was on the phone to them when she was attacked. she'd made a number of calls to them on sunday. officers tried to find her but couldn't. when contact was made again, the situation quickly escalated during the phone conversation. the force said officers were dispatched immediately and arrived within minutes. west midlands elise has referred itself to the independent office of police conduct over its conduct with the family. despite a strong public response to the police appeal and a number of raids on properties, there's been no sign of the suspect. police are asking anyone who does

see mr terrain not to approach him but to contact them immediately. —— terrain. jenny kumah, bbc news. nearly a quarter of 14—year—old girls in the uk say they have self—harmed according to a report by the children's society. the charity, which campaigns for the rights of vulnerable children, analysed a survey of 11,000 children. it found almost one in ten boys had also harmed themselves in 2015. the department of health said it is investing an extra £300 million in mental health services in schools. with the young people we work with across the country, there's still a lot of stigma around these kinds of mental health issues. it's still really ha rd to mental health issues. it's still really hard to ask for help so something like self harm that can be quite private is probably one way of dealing with those feelings, but not necessarily a good way. french fishermen have been accused of throwing insults, rocks and smoke bombs at their british rivals in the english channel in a vicious scrap over scallops. the clash happened around 22km off the normandy coast. british boats are legally entitled

to fish in the scallop—rich area, but their presence has infuriated the french. lebo diseko has more. this is what is being called the "scallop wars." french fishermen clash with their british counterparts in the sea off the normandy coast. rocks and smoke bombs just some of the things reportedly thrown at english and scottish vessels in the early hours of tuesday morning. it is the latest instalment of ongoing tension over fishing in these waters. french law says its fishermen can only harvest scallops here between october and may. the brits face no such restrictions, and the french fishermen, like this one, think that's unfair. translation: they have no hours, no quotas, they just fill their boats. they come, scrape and leave. they start working a month before us and they leave us the crumbs. in previous years, the two sides have been able to come up

with an agreement to harvest more fairly, but this year that didn't happen. with about 35 vessels to five, the french far outnumbered the british, and ultimately chase them away. now uk fishermen are demanding government protection. lebo diseko, bbc news. the northern ireland fire service says there are grave concerns that a primark building in belfast city centre could collapse. around 100 firefighters have been tackling a blaze which broke out at the store yesterday morning. there are no reports of any injuries and staff and customers were safely evacuated from the historic building. our ireland correspondent chris page reports. all over the city, people saw the smoke in the sky. but most didn't realise how bad the blaze was until pictures like these appeared. let's move, let's go! shoppers and about

150 staff were evacuated from the primark store within minutes of the fire breaking out. it was very busy, it was for people to come down the lifts and stairs so iran's down as quickly as possible. no one was injured but the interior of the building disintegrated as the fire ripped downwards. several times it seemed firefighters had got the blaze under control but every now and again there were what sounded like small explosions within the store. with each one, the flames burst out against beavis is an extremely dramatic and very unnerving sight. a major store reduced to a blackened shell by the most severe fire here in belfast city centre for many years. the building has quite a history. it's been here since the late 18 century and there's been a bishops residence and there's been a bishops residence and a bank in the past. prime art had spent £30 million on a renovation project, which wasjust about to finish —— primark. but

businesses now the retailers in this area are facing a big financial hit. there's going to be a period of major disruption. heartbreaking to be honest. not much more you can say than that. hundreds of people who work and shop in northern ireland's capital will be affected. displays was the most sudden blows but its consequences will be felt for a long time —— this blaze. chris page, bbc news, belfast. companies have been warned not to tempt pensioners out of final salary pension schemes by offering them lump sum cash payouts. the regulator has written to 1a firms. steph's here with the details. who are they writing to and what's going on? as you know, millions of people put money into their pension pots every year through their employer. often called final salary pension schemes and that gives you a guaranteed income when you retire. what we're seeing here is companies who are obviously concerned about the huge pension liabilities they have offering their employees the

chance to take the money out of the pension scheme and put it somewhere else. now, it can seem quite attractive because you're thinking, hang ona attractive because you're thinking, hang on a minute, i'm going to get a couple of 100 thousand pounds here. but what the regulator is worried about is the fact that that money being taken out might end up not making them the money it could have if it had stayed in the pensions clea n if it had stayed in the pensions clean because people might get bad advice. if you're moving it out of a company pension scheme, we don't all know the best place to then put it to get the income you might want. so there is concern that by encouraging people to actually take money out of their companies teams they could be making themselves vulnerable to bad advice and therefore make a bad investment. so they've written to 1a companies to warm them a century to be careful when you're doing this because you're risking people's money here —— essentially. it might help the company but not necessarily the employee. a warning out of this.

thanks very much. more on that from steph later in the programme as well. theresa may will visit africa's biggest economy, nigeria, this morning on the second day of a trade mission to africa aimed at strengthening economic ties ahead of brexit. the prime minister announced £4 billion of extra british support for african economies during the first leg of her trip on tuesday. mrs may will also meet meet victims of modern slavery and unveil a series of measures to cut illegal migration into europe from west africa. we will be talking about that and why she's there through the programme. some of you may have seen on social media yesterday it clears... oron on social media yesterday it clears... or on the news of theresa may dancing. we will discuss that and show you the pictures. may dancing. we will discuss that and show you the pictureslj may dancing. we will discuss that and show you the pictures. i heard people debating that yesterday.- and show you the pictures. i heard people debating that yesterday. at a bus stop? whether it matters, why are we talking about people dancing, does it affect her political ability? why do you answer that question and we will discuss it

later. les move onto other news this morning. -- let's move on to. the arteries of teenagers who drink and smoke show signs of hardening even by the age of 17, according to new research published in the european heartjournal. this can be an indicator that blood vessels are being damaged, increasing the likelihood of heart disease or stroke in later life, but the impact can be reversed if teenagers give up the habit. syrian refugees who fled to neighbouring lebanon in order to escape the war are being told to go home despite international warnings that it's not safe to do so. the united nations says the situation for those who have crossed the border into lebanon is only getting worse, with many living in poverty. newsbeat‘s james waterhouse has sent this report from close to the syrian border. an impromptu game in an impromptu setting. ten miles away from their homeland. this camp has been set up for syrian refugees in lebanon. there's little water or electricity. there's little water or electricity. the un says three quarters of the refugees are living in poverty on less tha n

refugees are living in poverty on less than $4 a day. many have been here four years and have no idea when they'll be able to return home. translation: i might be here for another month, three months or a year. it depends on the safety. i don't want to go back where there is still a war going on. for some time now, more than 1 million syrians have been living in lebanon in conditions like these. the president here says he wants them to go home. the assad regime wa nts them to go home. the assad regime wants them to come back. but the united nations says it is not safe to do so. one person looking unlikely to go backis one person looking unlikely to go back is mayir mahmood, he left government control damascus almost two years ago to pursue his music. he's now going to canada with his acoustic group on a scholarship, but is still haunted by what he left behind. even if it is more safe now backin behind. even if it is more safe now back in syria, even if the war has

stopped, you can't just back in syria, even if the war has stopped, you can'tjust forget what you've been through. the war in syria is complex. the future of its people is likely to be just as difficult. after all, a nation will have to be rebuilt. james waterhouse, bbc news, lebanon. thousands of people have been queuing to pay their last respects to the queen of soul aretha franklin in her home city of detroit. her body is lying in state dressed in red in a golden coffin at the city's african—american history museum. a private funeral will be held on friday. among the crowds were dozens of people paying tribute through song. # the moment i wake up, before i put on my make up. # i saya the moment i wake up, before i put on my make up. # i say a little prayerfor on my make up. # i say a little prayer for you. why have you decided to queue up here to pay your last respects? i couldn't have did it for a better person. she is all of that and a bowl of soup. # r—e—s—p—e—c—t.

i'm honouring her today. she means a lot to me, my family, to everyone. she is the queen of soul. she paved the way for a lot of black singers and we've turned up for aretha. i love the way they can sing so fa ntastically i love the way they can sing so fantastically like that as well. a concert tomorrow. you have to have their pipes in you to do that. very impressive. good morning. we're talking about the us open this morning and how hot it is over there at the moment. almost unbearable. if you're having your breakfast, some advanced warning, you might be a bit... is there some dodgy stuff on the way? johanna konta is out of the us open. the british number one lost in straight sets in the first round to the sixth seed caroline garcia. cameron norrie and andy murray are the only british players left in the tournament, they both play later today. the extreme humidity in new york

forced novak djokovic to ask for a sick bucket as he beat hungary's marton foochovitch in four sets. the players were given a 10—minute heat break late on in the match. west ham survived a scare in the carabao cup. the premier league side came from a goal down to beat the ten men of league one afc wimbledon, 3—1. and it's a potentially huge day for scottish football. the sport's governing body is meeting to decide if the national stadium should remain at hampden park in glasgow, or move to murrayfield in edinburgh. massive decision, yes. it is a whopper, isn't it. both stadiums are basically whoppers but the licence is due to run out, so it could go either way. it won't be as hot as it was at the tennis. good morning.

definitely not. today we have rain pushing south eastwards. when it does it will brighten up. for the rest of the week it will be dry for most. not everywhere. you will notice a different tune temperature overnight. it will be much cooler. we have a system heading south eastwards taking rain with it, this one coming from france, bringing some rain. interestingly in france overnight for the last 12 hours they have seen 100,000 lightning strikes. we could see the odd stroke of lightning in the south—east before this clear. but nothing like that. the rain will slowly move this way, out of scotland and northern ireland, across england and wales, weakening all the time. by the afternoon we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers in scotland. most of the showers in the north and west. the same for northern ireland, brightening up with sunshine. brightening up for northern england and were. you can see the remnants of the weather

front producing this cloud with the odd shower coming out of that here and there. as we go through the evening and overnight, eventually we lose the remnants of the weather front, the cloud vanishes. behind it we are looking at clear skies, mist and fog here and there and it will bea and fog here and there and it will be a cooler nights. these are the temperature you can expect in towns and cities. in rural areas in north—east scotland or further south, we are looking at closer to three orfour orfive or south, we are looking at closer to three or four or five or six, depending where you are. some of us will see a touch of frost first thing tomorrow morning. we haven't heard that in a while. a chilly start. under the clear skies a lot of sunshine around tomorrow. still some showers in western areas. they will be well scattered. many of us will be well scattered. many of us will miss them altogether. temperatures ranging from about 14 in stornoway to highs of 21 to the south—east. from thursday into

friday, high pressure is still in charge of the weather. we have some systems in the atlantic. by the time we get to friday, it looks like some of them will be coming our way. timing and positioning is open to question. this is what we think. the cloud coming from the west. we could see some rain coming from that. the further east that you journey, although there would be some cloud, equally there will be some sunshine. temperatures ranging from 14 or 15 to highs of 21 as we pushed to the south. as for the weekend, on saturday you can see the capital cities, temperatures widely in and around the high teens, low 20s. by the time we get to sunday, temperatures in the south picking up to 2425. thank you very much. steph hasjoined us this morning, along with sal, to look at the papers. let's have a look a look at today's front pages. the times says that tory mps are reporting a sharp rise in applications from

former ukip members. their picture is of melania trump planting a tree at the white house. ina in a $4000 skirt and six inch stiletto heels. lovely, you know the details. the guardian leads on theresa may's statement during her visit to cape town, that she's ready to lead the party for the long term. the daily mail is one of several papers to quote the former chief rabbi, lord sacks, who has compared jeremy corbyn‘s comments about british zionists to enoch powell's infamous rivers of blood speech. labour said the comparison is absurd and offensive. the telegraph also leads on the labour anti—semitism row, alongside a photo of theresa may visiting nelson mandela's former cell on robben island. and the most read story on the bbc news website this morning is the outbreak of the so—called scallop wars as british boats clash with their french counterparts over rich fishing grounds off the coast of normandy. is it

isita is it a scholar or a scallop?” is it a scholar or a scallop? i have a lwa ys is it a scholar or a scallop? i have always called it a scholar. i am going to have to go for scallop.|j call it a scallop. it is definitely a scallop. i don't know any more. louise and i were mentioning, we will get to the papers in a moment, talking about theresa may dancing. the quote from theresa may, i suspect it wouldn't make it onto strictly. this is her at a private school in cape town. at least she is getting involved. it is a bit robotic. it is brave to know that you are being filmed and taking your picture and to join you are being filmed and taking your picture and tojoin in and engage with people anyway. in terms of skill, i don't know. there are a lot

of people who don't have risen. it shouldn't mean that they can't dance. she is the only person who was stood, you know, still, and not doing anything. with being human, now there are cameras everywhere you are. tell me about it. you are right. i have seen some shockers of me in my time. you are a great dancer. when i have had a few drinks. you get better. i am certainly with you. sometimes i think i am good. i am clearly not. none of us are running the country. exactly. none of us are running the country. exa ctly. g et none of us are running the country. exactly. get in touch on what you think. she says she suspected it might not make it onto strictly. let us might not make it onto strictly. let us know. i don't care if the prime ministercan us know. i don't care if the prime minister can dance or not, quite frankly. there you go. what is in your papers? airbnb, you hear about the horror stories of what can

happen if it is the person renting it from you, turns out to be a nightmare, this is one of those extreme versions of the story. so this is a posh airbnb flat worth 1.3 million, 250 people turned up and had a huge party, and the neighbours we re had a huge party, and the neighbours were saying that the other houses we re were saying that the other houses were vibrating from the noise. they are saying that they took lamps, there was thousands of pounds of damage. there was lipstick smeared oi'i damage. there was lipstick smeared on the walls. if you had a 1.3 million pound flat, why put it on airbnb? to make back the money. maybe you should buy something a little bit less expensive. talking about making a mess and having a party. this is probably the same scene across the country. look at this. reding messtival, there are tents everywhere. just extraordinary scenes. they are very messy. it is

just... take your rubbish with you. take your tent. they didn't take theirtent? take your tent. they didn't take their tent? there are tents left? yes. waste of money. notting hill residents said their road was treated like an open—air sewer in the open—air carnival. treated like an open—air sewer in the open-air carnival. anyway. do you know, the back papers all have pictures ofjose mourinho. i am going to do that. we know that. instead i am going to talk about the weather and food, two favourite subjects to do with the tennis. jo konta at the us open and great information, in—depth sporting about andy murray. he has a nutritionist who travels with him and was the all blacks nutritionist. he decides everything that he eats, everything. so in orderto everything that he eats, everything. so in order to get through the heat, from where he is at the moment, before the match against james

duckworth he ate a bowl of porridge, then some eggs, then some bacon and some gluten—free toast. it depends on what the weather is like in new york. i try to drink two litres of fluid an hour, an hour! that is co nsta nt fluid an hour, an hour! that is constant drinking. constant drinking. and novak djokovic having to come off the court with the heat break. comes off the court, can't talk to anyone, his coach, his opponent, sits in an ice bath with his opponent, and they have to sit naked in ice and not speak. really? look at this, ferrari gto, the most expensive car in the world. if you invested in gold in 2014, ten million quid it would be worth ten million quid it would be worth ten million quid, this car, 22.8 million, just been sold for £37 million, just been sold for £37 million, one car. but you've got to have the huge amount of money. yes.

fewer than 40 at eight. they are the most expensive, desirable cars in the world —— fewer than 40 evan made. who has £22 million to buy a ferrari? we can go in together. so many things to sort out this morning. thank you both. good morning. we are now going to talk about an issue which some viewers may find distressing. the levels of self—harm among young people is being described as a crisis in children's mental health. new research by the charity, the children's society, found that gender stereotypes and worries about appearance were contributing to unhappiness and could be behind an increase in the number of children self—harming. ricky boleto reports. bethany betha ny started bethany started self harming when she was 13. it is something she is happy to talk about today. she wants to open up to other young people. happy to talk about today. she wants to open up to other young peoplelj don't think there was really a

reason why but the bullying made me think that was kind of a response for me. bethany said she felt isolated. she kept washing was doing a secret from her mum. isolated. she kept washing was doing a secret from her mumlj isolated. she kept washing was doing a secret from her mum. i got a phone call from her teacher when i was on the bus on my way home from work. he saidl the bus on my way home from work. he said i need to have a chat with you. and he told me that he had found out that day that beth was self harming and so that was a bit of a shock. five years on, she has stopped harming herself with the support of the harmless charity.” harming herself with the support of the harmless charity. i think there area the harmless charity. i think there are a lot of reasons why, the pressure of school themselves, with having their gcses and all of the work that we have, it can be quite stressful. definitely social media, we see a lot of things where you should look like this, you should wear that, you should have this make

up. there is a lot of stigma associated with how girls should carry themselves. the children's society surveyed 11,000 children about their lives. they say a closer look at the data suggest one in four girls aged 14 have self harmed last year. across genders, one in six reported self harming at the same age, and from that the charity estimates that 110,000 14 —year—olds all over the uk may have self harmed in the last 12 months. what we found is that since 2009 children have become more unhappy with the lives overall and particularly that has been driven by girls feeling more and more unhappy with their appearance. while the government say they are spending one billion transforming young people's mental health by 2020, with an additional 300 million to provide more help in schools. so how have you been going? i used to do it when i was little.

bethany is focusing on the future. of course, the scars won't disappear. her recovery is ongoing. i feel really confident now. i am happy. i feel really confident now. i am happy- i i feel really confident now. i am happy. i feel i i feel really confident now. i am happy. ifeel i have i feel really confident now. i am happy. i feel i have got myself back. if you have concerns about that sort of thing: we'll be speaking to a child and adolescent psychiatrist at 7:40am who has advice for any parents who are worried about self—harm. and if you have been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find details of organisations which offer advice and support on the bbc actionline website at bbc.co.uk slash actionline. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm tolu adeoye. the met police are looking for a cyclist after a collision in dalston that's left a pedestrian with critical injuries. the woman who is believed to be in her 50s is said to have been trying to cross kingsland high street during last

plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: we're in ledbury looking at what can be done to stop the spread of pests and diseases in british trees. former olympic heptathlete jess ennis hill will be here to tell us about a new award celebrating the most inspiring and dedicated volunteers in grassroots sport. and it was the return of the great british bake off last night. former contestants candice and selasi join us on the sofa. and, of course, there'll be cake! that's the best news! suits you! good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a mother and daughter killed in a suspected double murder

in solihull were on the phone to police as they were attacked, according to detectives. police are continuing to search for 21—year—old janbaz tarin after his former partner 22 year old raneem oudeh and her mother, 49—year—old khaloa saleem, were fatally attacked in the early hours of bank holiday monday. nearly a quarter of 14—year—old girls in the uk say they have self—harmed according to a report by the children's society. the charity, which campaigns for the rights of vulnerable children, analysed a survey of 11,000 children. it found almost one in ten boys had also harmed themselves in 2015. the department of health said it is investing an extra £300 million in mental health services in schools. with the young people we work with across the country, there's still a lot of stigma around these kinds of mental health issues. it's still really hard to ask for help, and so something like self—harm, which can be quite private, is probably one way

of dealing with those feelings, but not necessarily a good way. british fishermen are asking for government protection after being attacked by their french counterparts off the coast of normandy. 35 french vessels gathered on monday night to stop british scallop dredgers, who they claim are pillaging the shellfish stocks. the local fisherman threw rocks and smokebombs to deter the british boats, despite them being legally entitled to fish in the area. the northern ireland fire service says there are grave concerns that a historic building in belfast city centre could collapse. around 100 firefighters have been tackling a blaze which broke out at the primark store yesterday morning. the listed bank buildings were built in 1785 and were undergoing a major refurbishment. there are no reports of any injuries and staff and customers were safely evacuated. companies have been warned not to tempt pensioners out of final salary pension schemes by offering them cash lump sums. the pension regulator has written to 14 firms after more people are cashing in retirement pots and managing the money themselves.

it warns that overly generous payouts could damage the schemes' remaining funds. theresa may will visit africa's biggest economy, nigeria, this morning on the second day of a trade mission to africa aimed at strengthening economic ties ahead of brexit. the prime minister announced £4 billion of extra british support for african economies during the first leg of her trip on tuesday. mrs may will also meet meet victims of modern slavery and unveil a series of measures to cut illegal migration into europe from west africa. the arteries of teenagers who drink and smoke show signs of hardening even by the age of 17, according to new research published in the european heartjournal. this can be an indicator that blood vessels are being damaged, increasing the likelihood of heart disease or stroke in later life, but the impact can be reversed if teenagers give up the habit. we shall talk about that later.

times square in new york was abuzz yesterday when police had to shut down a busy street because of bees swarming around a hot dog stand. an estimated 30,000 bees gathered at the top of this food ca rt‘s umbrella. wow! i suspect they were following the queen. this was a job for the new york police department's official beekeeper, who vacuumed the insects into a bucket. with his bee hoover. it's not known what attracted the bees to the umbrella. we need to find out where they went to after they were vacuumed into a bucket. looks like a big yellow flower. it isn't the most effective bee hoover, very slow going. you don't want to damage them. you can't coax them away. you take the queen, don't you? good luck finding the

queen in that lot, i grant you she's the big one, but, yeah!” queen in that lot, i grant you she's the big one, but, yeah! i love those pictures! is that your favourite story of the day? so far. sofar? you've got a lot to live up to, sally. it looked pretty hot for those bees, didn't it? what did you say the temperature was? low thirties. the humidity is the problem for the players in new york at the tennis, they're having to do lots of clever things. novak djokovic has talked about sitting in an ice bath next to his opponent and he said it was a wonderful feeling. opponent and he said it was a wonderfulfeeling. and opponent and he said it was a wonderful feeling. and they have the ice towels and all of that. they are still hot! joanna konta has been knocked out of the us open, beaten in the first round in straight sets by france's caroline garcia. recent poor form meant the british number one was unseeded in new york and sixth seed garcia took the first set easily. konta had recently beaten serena williams but there was no sign of that form as she lost the second set, also 6—2. it means there are no british women left in the singles. novak djokovic struggled

in the new york heat and humidity but is through to the second round. he beat hungary's marton fucsovics in four sets. djokovic requested a sick bucket and the players had a 10—minute heat break in which they took ice baths. that obviously did the trick. west ham survived a scare at afc wimbledon to reach the thirrd round of the league cup. the league one side took an early lead, joe pigott with the goal. wimbledon then had a man sent off but it was nearly an hour before west ham equalised through issa diop. west ham eventually won 3—1. elsewhere, saido berahino scored his first goal in 2.5 years in stoke's win over huddersfield. the results of all the other ties are on the bbc sport website. 913 days for berahino, bonkers! now, it's a potentially huge day for scottish football. the sport's governing body is meeting this morning to decide iwhether to move the national stadium from hampden park in glasgow to murrayfield in edinburgh, a ground synonymous with rugby union.

chris mclaughlin reports. it's a stadium with many stories to tell. this the famous european cup final of 1960. real madrid 7—3 eintracht frankfurt. but its upkeep is proving too costly for the sfa. they could vote, stay or move elsewhere. i've got a jacket in here, it's one of these heavy winter coats. in the stadium museum there isa man coats. in the stadium museum there is a man who can't bear the thought ofa is a man who can't bear the thought of a move away. i'm embedded in this place, but, as i said to you before, that's not the reason i'm supporting hamden, because i've criticised this place on many occasions. i do so because it is so much embedded in our footballing culture. because it is so much embedded in ourfootballing culture. to have it disappear would be a grievous loss.

i want to play for scotland. i want to play for scotland. i want to play for scotland. this is the other option, a move 50 miles east along the m8 m2 the home of scottish rugby. the sru have been working hard to sell it. it's a bigger stadium and could be financially more attractive. it's the dilemma that is dividing a nation. a decision that could change our national game for ever. we will keep you posted on that of course. one more football line for you, jamie vardy and gary cahill have effectively retired from international football. leicester's vardy‘s scored seven goals in 26 appearances for england and was part of gareth southgate's squad for the world cup in russia. he's 32, and says he wants to concentrate on his club football and his family. chelsea's cahill made his england debut in 2010 and captained the side on several occasions. he only played once at the world cup in the group match against belgium. both players have said they've not completely closed

the door on england. who knows what might happen there! are you ready for the reddest of red cards? donald trump has been sent off, everybody, in the oval office! yellow card, and red card. yellow ca rd yellow card, and red card. yellow card is a warning... right. and when you want to kick out someone, like this? that's true, that's true.” wonder how much soccer he has actually watched! the president was meeting fifa's president gianni infantino to promote the 2026 world cup in north america and even if trump wins re—election his presidency would end before the tournament. ican imagine i can imagine he might want to... he might want to use that card. quite a lot of people might want to use a red card for him as well maybe. works both ways! is he leaving them behind? i think so, works both ways! is he leaving them behind? ithink so, leaving works both ways! is he leaving them behind? i think so, leaving some in that little draw. we will see you

later, sally. thanks very much. let's have a look about the weather. high humidity in new york, what about us? nothing like that and no red or yellow cards with the weather otherwise we would never get on! a couple of bands of rain will clear the south—east and then it will brighten with sunshine and showers, but the rest of the week will turn that bit drier. cooler nights and tonight, one or two places could well see a touch of frost. high pressure is firmly in charge of the weather but we have a weather front sinking south, weakening all the time. this one has come from france, producing rain in the south—east and it will eventually clear. this one has produced over 100,000 lightning strikes in france in the last 12 hours. by the time we get to the afternoon, things will brighten up across scotland. here we're looking at sunshine and showers, a peppering out to the north and west in particular. in northern ireland and northern england, largely dry with sunny spells and you could see some showers. wales and south—west

england will be dry with sunshine. we have the remnants of our old front across the midlands, east anglia and southern counties producing a bit more cloud and again the odd shower. but it will clear overnight and then we've got clear skies. it's going to be a cool night, cooler than the one just gone. the temperatures you can see are indicative of towns and cities but in frost hollows in the south we could well have temperatures dipping down to four orfive. could well have temperatures dipping down to four or five. and in sheltered glens in the north—east of scotland, we could be well looking at three orfour, scotland, we could be well looking at three or four, that will feel cold and here we could well see a touch of frost. first thing tomorrow under clear skies, beautiful blue skies. any shallow mist or fog that forms will quickly dissipate and then through the day you'll find a wee bit more cloud building, still sunny spells do behold, though, and still a few showers, especially in the west but they will be fairly easy at it and hit and miss and most won't get one. temperatures ranging from 14 in the north to around 21 as

go to the south—east. you can probably see this waiting in the winds, so let's have a look at it. from thursday into friday we have a weather system close to us. it will bring in cloud and rain, high pressure clinging on to the east. what we think at the moment is the driest and brightest conditions after a cool night under clear skies will be in central and eastern areas but as this system approaches from the atlantic it will introduce thicker cloud and spots of rain. the timing and exact positioning could still change but this is what we think at the moment. temperatures in stornoway, 14 and as we go towards cardiff, we're looking at about 20. so into the weekend, mixed fortunes. for some it's going to get much warmer. on saturday, again bits and pieces of cloud around, some sunny spells coming through, lots of dry weather around for many parts of the uk with temperatures into the high teens, low twenties. on sunday, many of us seeing the low 20s but in the

south—east, we're looking at closer to the mid—20s with some sunshine. so it's all change once again, dan and louise. excellent, carol, see you later. thanks very much. theresa may travels to nigeria today and as part of her visit she has pledged to be the biggest foreign g7 investor in africa by 2022. the uk is currently the second largest investor behind the united states but there is competition for african trade from china. we're joined now from lagos by financial analyst, we're joined now from lagos by financial analyst, oluwatosin olaseinde. thanks for coming on and talking to us thanks for coming on and talking to us this morning. how achievable is mrs may's target? now though it's back to dan and louise. sorry, can you come again?” sorry, can you come again? i was just asking how achievable using theresa may's targets are?” just asking how achievable using theresa may's targets are? i think is really slim in the sense that nigerian trade with uk is just 4% overall, so it will be hard to boost targets. how much potential is there

for improving trade with nigeria and other countries in africa ? for improving trade with nigeria and other countries in africa? there is a lot of room for improvement. we have a sector crying out for investors. we have the port sector thatis investors. we have the port sector that is crying for investors. there are rooms for investing. we are working on improving bilateral trade. from your point of view, investment would be the key. there isa investment would be the key. there is a lot of chinese money, china as the main competitor for the is a lot of chinese money, china as the main competitorfor the uk, there is a lot of chinese investment in countries like nigeria. absolutely. if you look at the automotive sector, there is a lot of chinese money coming into the sector, and even manufacturing, so it is quite competitive for the uk and china, considering the relationship china has with nigeria in the past, and if you look at the investment that comes in from the uk, it is more capital, the equities

market, financial services. to diversify and move from financial services investment into the real colony, foreign investment —— real economies on the foreign investment, that hasn't been the case for the uk and nigeria in the past. infrastructure is key. i wonder what the view of the uk from the nigerian perspective is. is it a rosy trade prospects for you? is it a rosy trade prospects? the numbers don't lie. in terms of non— oil investment it has always been 4% or less. nigerians love to travel to the uk and they love the uk relationship. in terms of trade it is 4% from the uk. absolutely we have a positive view of the uk. the question is do the numbers come in and what can we do to drive the relationship and see it trickled down to investment in the real economy? do you think

nigeria might wait to see what happens post—brexit before engaging further with trade relations, is it something which is of concern? the nigerians trade and development community is deliberative, meeting with china, all countries they hope to bring investments back into nigeria so i really don't think there is a need to wait for post—brexit to see how it works out. if there is room for it to happen now, why not? i see them taking that opportunity. really interesting to talk to you this morning, thank you so much for your time. we will speak at it more about theresa may's visit in the next, what is it, two and a half hours? a long-time. the deadline to make a complaint for missold payment protection insurance, or ppi, is just a year away now. can you believe we are still talking about this? how long have people had to claim ppi? it started being sold

in1990, so, yes, to claim ppi? it started being sold in 1990, so, yes, the mis—selling scandal has been going on for a decade. it is unbelievable. you would struggle to find someone who hasn't had a pp! call, letter, e—mail, ok, maybe a few, but most people have had those calls, so just to give you the background on this: it was from 1992 2010, saw something like 64 million ppi policies that we re like 64 million ppi policies that were sold, and they were sold to customers taking out loans, store cards, the idea being that it was essentially insurers in case you we re essentially insurers in case you were ill and were unable to make a payment or were made redundant from work. the problem is that it was allegedly miss sold or wasn't properly explained to people, some

people didn't realise they had it, and still don't, which is why there are still claims for it. and people we re are still claims for it. and people were mis— sold in the sense that they didn't need it, or it wasn't covering them for what they needed it for, which is why it became the mis—selling scandal. nearly 20 million complaints have now been made. we are talking a staggering amount of money here as well. on average if you've been due a refund you've got back nearly £2,000. that is lot of money. i remember at the time, at the height of it, we we re the time, at the height of it, we were talking about it affecting the economy in terms of growth, because it gave people some money in their pockets to spend, and we were looking at the impact on economic growth. it shows you how much the banks had to pay off the claims. growth. it shows you how much the banks had to pay off the claimsm isa banks had to pay off the claimsm is a mega amount of money. that is more than the ministry of defence's budget for spending, so over £46 billion set aside for this. now

there is a deadline for complaining about it. it is a year from today. then after that the doors are closing, there is no more chance of getting the pp! claim back. closing, there is no more chance of getting the pp! claim backm closing, there is no more chance of getting the pp! claim back. it makes you realise why so many firms give you realise why so many firms give you those phone calls because there is that much money laid aside and there is a cut available that if you processor claim successfully, that is why there are so many ppi firms out there. i have done banking results for such a long time. we have seen the banks have taken a hit, £20 billion, lloyds, then ba rclays hit, £20 billion, lloyds, then barclays getting into the billions that they have had to pay for it. you have had some advice from the brea kfast you have had some advice from the breakfast team... was i? yes, you are not allowed to do that probably but you said that there is probably not one of us who doesn't have it. so there are lots of places where you can go and try to get it back. lots of places where you can try to claim it back for free. lots of standard letters that have been written where you can put in your

details and send them to the bank. there will be people who don't have it. there are a lot of people who are unaware that they had it at all if they have the store card or the mortgage from the past. you have given me ajob mortgage from the past. you have given me a job to do.” mortgage from the past. you have given me ajob to do. i shall mortgage from the past. you have given me a job to do. i shall have a look at that. it will take you ten minutes. thank you very much. see you later. i was going to give a ridiculous time, saying it is past 7:09am, but it isjust ridiculous time, saying it is past 7:09am, but it is just approaching 7am. oak, ash and birch are just some of the trees native to britain. over the years other varieties have been imported and while this adds diversity to our woodland it can also bring problems in the form of pests and diseases. tomos morgan is in ledbury for us this morning finding out what is being done to protect british trees, tomos. good morning. well, iam here in the shadow of the hills in the why they'll bursary where they grow almost seven and a half million seedlings each year and just here i

have willow, finishing their first year of growth, which will be ready to sell in october, and the majority of what they grow and sell originates from britain but over the yea rs originates from britain but over the years we've had issues with the amount we import from overseas. so what we have here is a white fringe tree which is a non—native tree, but what we have noticed is that it has these rather severe dieback symptoms. alongside the white fringe, the mock privet and its narrow leaf sibling are another three species infected with ash died backin three species infected with ash died back in the uk. it is a fungal disease were leaf loss and a slow death inhibits greenery but in the heart of gloucestershire specialist is looking at helping the process of saving those affected breeds. -- ash dieback. we have been researching

not just the ash dieback. we have been researching notjust the ash tree, which causes dieback, and we have discovered tolerance in ash so we are hopeful in future we can select and breed tolera nt in future we can select and breed tolerant ash trees so that we can replant. it is notjust ash type that risk in the uk. according to the british plant health register there are 1000 pests and diseases across the uk and around 30% of those pose a danger to the future of our trees. and many of those infecting our forest originate from abroad, which has led to the government last week putting a ban certain types of oak trees from being imported into the uk —— forest. the number of pests and diseases coming into the uk that impact on trees has risen exponentially over the last few yea rs. exponentially over the last few years. have we been a bit slow in dealing with that issue? we saw the impact 50 years ago with the introduction of dutch elm disease, where elms have disappeared from many landscapes, so we are acting

now to make sure that doesn't happen to our most iconic tree species, particularly the oak. trees of ash are not usually taken down as the disease is so widespread and when a species developed symptoms with the disease they are kept for monitoring and research purposes. there are scenarios where trees with diseases are felt, say if the risk of spread is very great. some local authorities are using new methods in authorities are using new methods in a bid to save our trees. in london, a bid to save our trees. in london, a method called bio chart technology is used on oaks in bexley. it is thought injecting the ground with a fire charcoal helps soil quality improve, trees become healthier and interned their defence is stronger to deal potential diseases. and here they have seen significant results. -- in turn. so last year the trees

had pale and yellow leaves, as soon as spring came around in the first flush of its leaves it was unrecognisable, dark shades of green, the limbs started to lift up, it just looks like green, the limbs started to lift up, itjust looks like a brand—new tree. the science behind the reliability of methods like bio—char are up for debate but the process of protecting the great woodland has already begun. so, as! so, as i mentioned here, the majority of what is grown and sold here it is from britain. chris king, you are one of the managers here, you've seen a decline in the amount of species that come from overseas, have a new? yes, definitely, imports are certainly at an all—time low and we are seeing a lot more uk grown stock, selling a lot of our own stock, selling a lot of our own stock and that is really good for our business and other nurseries in the uk. and you have some things

that come from abroad, but you're careful about what you take and sell. yes, we work with specific nurseries abroad, have good relationships with them, and it is atan relationships with them, and it is at an all—time low and it is something we would like to cut out completely. holly from the woodland trust, if you could tell us, this is coming down to the public, the choices they make in terms of what they buy. absolutely, members of the public have a role to play, they can ask where the plants come from, we can see the change across the industry, from the nursery is down to consumers buying plants and trees from the supermarkets. the more change we have, the less imports, and the lower the risk across the uk. have we been slow in dealing

with certain diseases when they come to the uk when we know they are around the corner in europe? we certainly need to be more careful. if you look at the pests and diseases in the country, ash dieback, we knew about that for yea rs, if we dieback, we knew about that for years, if we checked stock a little more we would have reduced the risk and perhaps stopped having those things coming to the country altogether and then we don't have to play catch up further down the line. thank you very much. the government pledged to plant a 11 million trees to help the situation across the uk. now, let's get the news, weather and sport where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm tolu adeoye. the met police are looking for a cyclist after a collision in dalston that's left a pedestrian with critical injuries. a woman who is believed to be in her 50s is said to have been trying to cross kingsland high street during last night's rush hour. the cyclist fled the scene, and abandoned their bike. police are appealing for witnesses. a man who died after being stabbed in south—east london at the weekend has been named as shevaun sorrell. the 22—year—old was found in creek road in deptford just before midnight on sunday, but passed away in hospital an hour later.

anyone who saw a fight in the area is asked to contact the police. part of the m25 near the dartford crossing that closed for much of yesterday because of an oil spill has now re—opened. two lorries crashed between junction 30 and 31, causing long tailbacks. some drivers reported being stuck on the motorway for more than seven hours. with others staying in hotels overnight. a film made by and reflecting the lives of 15 young people from an estate in islington has reached one million youtube views in just a fortnight. the ideas, characters and storyline are based on the group's own experiences. those behind it say the aim is to challenge stereotypes. music has an issue — no, it's not. we need to go deeper and find out the real problems young people are facing today. projects like this are making a transition in our young people. let's have a look at the travel situation now.

there's a good service on the tubes this morning. but on the railway — south western services have delays of up to half an hour between guildford and hazelmere because of over running engineering works. on the roads as i mentioned earlier the m25 has reopened clockwise betweenjunction 30 and 31 following yesterday's accident. but it's closed betweenjunction 25 enfield and junction 24 potters bar for emergency repairs. you can see the delays there. finally in southgate — chase side is partially blocked at southgate circus because of a burst water main. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello, good morning. you could need your umbrella this morning. we've got outbreaks of rain working their way towards the east. it is a cloudy start. and that rain is quite showery. they could be some heavy bursts working its way east in the morning. something dry and bright for a time. cloud will tend to increase with the risk of isolated showers. temperatures in the

high teens, low 20s. the maximum 21 degrees with a north—westerly breeze. through this evening, then, the risk of one or two showers for a time. we will see the skies clearing. it will be dry and fresher than last night with overnight lows of seven to 10 degrees. we could see one or two patches of mist forming as well. tomorrow, then, any patches of mist will lift quickly. looking like a mostly dry day, we can't rule out the odd shower, spells of sunshine tending to bubble out through the day. temperatures are little fresher with a maximum of around 21 degrees. and then warming up a little as we move towards the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: french and british boats clash in the english channel in a vicious scrap over scallops.

warnings of a crisis in children's mental health as figures show almost a quarter of 14—year—old girls have self—harmed. the bullying made me feel really, really depressed. so i think that was kind of a response for me because it was something that i could control. the mother and daughter stabbed in solihull. police were speaking to them on the phone when they were attacked. good morning. half of us feel ripped off by our mobile phone bills. we'll have the boss of o2 to tell us what they're doing about it the boss in sport, joanna konta is out of the us open. the british number one is beaten in the first round by caroline garcia of france. we have rain clearing the south of easter through the morning. behind it it will brighten up, sunshine and

a few showers —— we have rain clearing the south and east. more in 15 minutes. just gone 7am. it's wednesday the 29th of august. our top story: french fishermen have been accused of throwing insults, rocks and smoke bombs at their british rivals in the english channel in a vicious scrap over scallops. the clash happened around 13 miles off the normandy coast. british boats are legally entitled to fish in the scallop—rich area, but their presence has infuriated the french. lebo diseko has more. this is what's being called the "scallop wars." french fishermen clash with their british counterparts in the sea off the normandy coast. rocks and smoke bombs just some of the things reportedly thrown at english and scottish vessels in the early hours of tuesday morning. it is the latest instalment of ongoing tension over fishing in these waters. french law says its fishermen can only harvest scallops here between october and may.

the brits face no such restrictions, and the french fishermen, like this one, think that's unfair. translation: they have no hours, no quotas, they just fill their boats. they come, scrape and leave. they start working a month before us and they leave us the crumbs. in previous years, the two sides have been able to come up with an agreement to harvest more fairly, but this year that didn't happen. with about 35 vessels to five, the french far outnumbered the british, and ultimately chase them away. now uk fishermen are demanding government protection. lebo diseko, bbc news. we will be talking to someone about that in a bit, in about five minutes on breakfast. there are calls for ministers to address what's being called a crisis in children's mental health after a study found that almost a quarter of girls aged 14 said they'd

deliberately harmed themselves. the children's society says early support for vulnerable children and their families is vital, but councils don't have the funding. the department of health said it is investing an extra £300 million in mental health services in schools. with the young people we work with across the country, there's still a lot of stigma about these kinds of mental health issues. it's still really hard to ask for help, and so something like self—harm, which can be quite private, is probably one way of dealing with those feelings, but not necessarily a good way. we'll be speaking to a child and adolescent psychiatrist at around 7:40a. ataround 7:40am. they have advice for any parents who are worried about self—harm. and if you have been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find details of organisations which offer advice and support on the bbc actionline website at bbc.co.uk/actionline. a mother and daughter killed in a suspected double murder in solihull were on the phone to police as they were attacked, according to detectives.

police are continuing to search forjanbaz tarin, after his former partner, 22—year—old raneem oudeh, and her mother, khaloa saleem, were fatally attacked in the early hours of bank holiday monday. jenny kumah reports. the manhunt continues. police believe 21—year—old janbaz tarin, an afghan national here legally, is responsible for the murder of two women. his former partner, raneem oudeh, seen here on the left, and her mother, khaola saleem. both were syrian nationals. raneem had a two—year—old son and was one of six siblings. the women were stabbed to death in the early hours of monday morning here in the family's home. police have now revealed that raneem oudeh was on the phone to them when she was attacked. she'd made a number of calls to them on sunday. officers tried to find her but couldn't.

when contact was made again, the situation quickly escalated during the phone conversation. the force say officers were dispatched immediately and arrived within minutes. west midlands police has referred itself to the independent office of police conduct over its conduct with the family. despite a strong public response to the police appeal, and a number of raids on properties, there's been no sign of the suspect. police are asking anyone who does see mr tarin not to approach him but to contact them immediately. jenny kumah, bbc news. the northern ireland fire service says there are grave concerns that a historic building in the heart of belfast city centre could collapse. around 100 firefighters have been tackling a blaze in the primark store inside the listed bank buildings which broke out yesterday. emma vardy is in belfast. emma, what is the situation there this morning? anyone who has been to belfast will know it's a beautiful building, isn't it? or it was. really dramatic

scenes yesterday because, as you say, an historic building right in the heart of the city centre. firefighters have scaled down the operation overnight but it started yesterday in the top floor of this 5—storey building and there was smoke billowing into the sky across the city. it could be seen from miles around. of course staff and many shoppers were evacuated. now, firefighters on the scene were battling to get it under control for a number of hours and at one point it seemed like they almost had but the fire grew in intensity, it started to rip through the inside of the building and you could see parts of the roof and the structure beginning to collapse and people just watched in horror and sadness really because this is such an historic building. called bank buildings, very much a landmark in the middle of the high street and it had been in the final stages of a £30 million refurbishment. about 100 firefighters were tackling the blaze

for more than six hours. but, as you can see, the inside of the building was totally destroyed and this morning reallyjust a shell remains. there are still firefighters on the scene, still a large cordon surrounding the building because there's the bits of it stand, can be collapsing and falling off the building —— bits of it can. there's a question this morning about how much of it can be restored safely, if at all. m abadi in by fast, thanks very much. —— m abadi in belfast. companies have been warned not to tempt pensioners out of final salary pension schemes by offering them lump sum cash payouts. the regulator has written to 14 firms. steph's here with the details. millions of people save up for a pension with their company. lots of companies offer them and it gives you a guaranteed income and they're often called final salary pension stea m often called final salary pension steam is. but they're very costly for companies because, of course, they contribute to the parts as well

-- final they contribute to the parts as well —— final salary pensions teams. companies are offering the chance for employers, the employee is to ta ke for employers, the employee is to take it out and put it in their own private pension pot. this can be appealing for people because they're being offered hundreds of thousands of pound in a lump sum, much better than just this income every year. the problem is the regulator is saying, hang on, this could mean they badly invest this money so there's a danger opens people up to vulnerable... it makes them vulnerable... it makes them vulnerable to bad advice in terms of what they do with their money. they've written to 14 companies to say, hang on a minute, think about this before you advise people to leave the scheme and offer them these great sums of money because that might not be the best thing for them. very interesting. thanks very much. theresa may will visit africa's biggest economy, nigeria, this morning on the second day of a trade mission to africa aimed at strengthening economic ties ahead of brexit. the prime minister announced

£4 billion of extra british support for african economies during the first leg of her trip on tuesday. mrs may will also meet meet victims of modern slavery and unveil a series of measures to cut illegal migration into europe from west africa. we will be talking about that trade trip later. you may have seen pictures on social media or the news of the prime minister dancing as well. we'll look at those pictures and talk about whether that matters and talk about whether that matters a little bit later. the arteries of teenagers who drink and smoke show signs of hardening even by the age of 17, according to new research published in the european heartjournal. this can be an indicator that blood vessels are being damaged, increasing the likelihood of heart disease or stroke in later life, but the impact can be reversed if teenagers give up the habit. the un security council has discussed a report which recommends that military leaders in myanmar should face trial for genocide against rohingya muslims. in her role as the un refugee agency's goodwill ambassador, actor cate blanchett made an impassioned plea on behalf of the refugees she met in bangladesh.

she said the rohingya people had been failed and it was time to act to make sure they are protected in the future. pa rt part of the security council's ream it is to highlight and to continually, unfailingly not give up, you know. this coming just from speaking to the secretary general, even when a situation is impossible you have to push harder and despair is something we cannot give in to. and when you see the resilience of the refugees themselves, and when you sit in a school with children who have lost parents and children who have lost parents and children who have lost parents and children who have seen their grandparents pushed back into burning buildings and set on fire... i mean, when you see them moving forward positively, trying to go to school, it galvanises me and makes me want to not forget those individual faces and the magnitude of the numbers

that we hear. i think it's really... it's beholden on the international community to shine the spotlight on it. it may seem impossible but it's not an excuse for not doing anything. more now on our top story this morning: british fishermen are asking for government protection after being attacked by their french counterparts off the coast of normandy. 35 french vessels gathered on monday night to stop british scallop dredgers, who they claim are pillaging the shellfish stocks. we're joined now from brixham by fisherman alex passmore. i know you weren't there during this incident but i understand one of your skippers was. can you tell us details about what happened? essentially we are fishing 40 miles off the french coast when a flotilla off the french coast when a flotilla of french fishermen came out and surrounded the vessel, along with mine and other uk vessels. they were throwing missiles, trying to put roads in the propellers and essentially foul the gear. it was

just short of piracy pretty much and we had to evacuate the area. there was a french naval vessel alongside that watched the whole thing but didn't intervene in any manner. we're very shocked about the whole situation. looking at the pictures, it looks like potentially a very dangerous situation? absolutely. and in previous years also we've had chuckles thrown at the windows to the point of structural integrity of vessels being at risk. it was very important for us to have the safety of our vessels and our fleet of paramount importance. we had to leave the area straightaway. i understand you're a fifth generation fishermen, how in the scale of things that have happened over the years... where would you put this? i've seen videos of my grandfather 30 or 40 years ago saying about the french exactly the same. the main gripe the uk fishing

industry has is the french can go up to our six mile nautical limit. we we re to our six mile nautical limit. we were fishing 40 miles off the french coast, essentially in eu national waters and what we find frustrating is they're trying to manage a fishery outside of their 12 mile nautical zone. to put it in context, they can go up to our six mile limit, fish our uk stocks and we have very much trouble when we fish 40 miles off. maybe it's been exacerbated this year with brexit. a lot of french fishermen seem to be very interested in the fisheries brexit negotiations. they've come out in force this year and we really need to make sure that no one's endured. just to give the french point of view, we saw in our ps there one of them saying about the british fishermen they have no hours, no quotas, they come and scrape and leave and they start working a month before us and leave us the crumbs —— peace. what would your response be?

the skull of fishery and the scholar industry in the uk is one of the most highly regulated —— scholar. —— scholar up. they can only fish in the same day for 20 days of backwater, that's for three months. —— bay. backwater, that's for three months. — — bay. the backwater, that's for three months. —— bay. the french vision industry we worked out has four of our dredges to one of them —— fishing. they have four times the fleet capacity of the uk but it seems to be they want it for themselves and essentially it's in eu waters, so it's absolutely fair game. we have eu fishing permits, so why not take advantage of the natural resources i am sorry, i hope you can still hear me. i am sorry, i hope you one of your main issues as you said is about safety a nd main issues as you said is about safety and what support you had been given from the government, the coastguard, have you been given support? we feel let down. in previous years we have tried to call the coastguard and the navy, saying that there is an escalating situation in the channel, of which

we give — of which we are given little assurance that the vessels are safe and ultimately the vessels' safety and the crews' safety is of paramount importance. thank you very much for your time this morning. paramount importance. thank you very much for your time this morningm you just turned on your tv, and you are wondering, we will talk about it later, the french vessels attacking the british vessels yesterday off the british vessels yesterday off the coast of normandy. let's have a look at what's going on with the weather. good morning. this morning it isa weather. good morning. this morning it is a wet start for some with an improving picture. lovely picture here of loch lomond. through the week for many of us it will become drier. there will be cooler nights. tonight sheltered glens could see a touch of frost. we have this weather funded in south, taking rain and cloud with it as it does so. it has come from france. last night in france they were over 100,000 lightning strikes. we could see the

odd flash this morning. it is low risk. the rain associated with that will move away to the north sea. at the same time you can see the weather front weakening as it moves south, producing not much more than a band of rain and showers in the afternoon. behind it is brightening up afternoon. behind it is brightening up nicely with sunny spells developing and showers, showers in the north and west of scotland, sunshine around with variable cloud, for northern ireland, it is brightening up with the odd shower and a keen westerly wind. northern england and south—west england seeing sunshine. here is the weather front producing cloud, the odd splash coming out of that, not much more, and after a bright start the cloud pushes southeast and then overnight it clears away. that means for much of the uk we have the clear spells tonight, but it will feel much cooler than it has. in the frost pockets across southern england, the prone areas, temperatures could drop as low as five degrees. across the sheltered

glens of north—east scotland it could get as low as three or four degrees, low enough for a touch of frost which we haven't seen for a while. it means clear skies tomorrow and a lot of sunshine to start the day. through the day, more cloud will develop, thick enough in the west for the odd shower. they will be well scattered. many won't see them at all. the temperatures range, 14 in the north, 20 or 21 in the south. you can't fail but notice what's happening out here. if we look at the pressure chart, we are still having high pressure dominate the weather, especially in central and eastern areas, then the weather front coming from the west. the timing and positioning could change. this is what living at the moment. it will bring in a band of cloud, some splashes of rain coming out of that, it moves west to east, the cloud ahead of it will build. y is, 14 or 15 cloud ahead of it will build. y is,

14 or15 in cloud ahead of it will build. y is, 14 or 15 in the north, still 20 or 21 in the sunshine. —— temperatures. into the weekend, capital cities, you can see the temperature starts to climb, the high teens or low 20s on saturday, and then on sunday the low 20s to mid—20s further south. so sunday looks like not a bad day it you like it that bit warmer and it looks like the trend is going to get a bit warmer again as we had into the early part of next week. we love an upward trend, thank you very much. it is a september thing, isn't it, always. i love september, yes. she is only saying that because it is her birthday, did i mention that? only a couple of times, you have dropped it. —— oh, did i mention that? oh, you remembered, finally! let's have a look a look at today's front pages. the times says that tory mps are reporting a sharp rise in applications from former ukip members. their picture is of melania trump

planting a tree at the white house. the guardian leads on theresa may's statement during her visit to cape town that she's ready to lead the party for the long term. six inch stilettos for the her. yes, and also the picture of her dancing. she says it might not make it onto strictly — we will see it in a moment, so you canjudge strictly — we will see it in a moment, so you can judge for yourself. the daily mail is one of several papers to quote the former chief rabbi, lord sacks, who has compared jeremy corbyn's comments about british zionists to enoch powell's infamous "rivers of blood" speech. labour said the comparison is "absurd and offensive". the telegraph also leads on the labour anti—semitism row, alongside a photo of theresa may visiting nelson mandela's former cell on robben island. and you have talked about theresa may dancing. some people have said

not to show it. it has caused division. here it is in cape town yesterday. this has caused a debate. some think, why have you put this on tv? others don't care how she dances. herjob tv? others don't care how she dances. her job is tv? others don't care how she dances. herjob is to run the country. and then others people say it is cringeworthy and she shouldn't be put in that situation. how can she get out of that? good question. tell us your thoughts. we will talk about it later. if you look back, historically, there are moments when the cameras have caught them at an awkward moment. yes, eating sausage sandwiches, whatever that might be. falling into the sea. someone made the point yesterday, unless you are a professional dancer, or very good, you can't criticise someone for having a go. let us know what your thoughts are, get in touch. around 40% of regular smokers take up the habit before the age of 16, according to the charity

cancer research uk. now a new study by university college london shows that the arteries of those teens who smoke are already being damaged by the age of 17, but the impact can be reversed if they stop. we're joined now by doctor peter mackereth works with community groups as an anti—smoking consultant. let's talk about the figures first up, so the damage to the arteries can up, so the damage to the arteries ca n start up, so the damage to the arteries can start at a very early age? yes, the brain is wired to nicotine and the brain is wired to nicotine and the fast delivery system like smoking burns, the chemical gets into the circulation, so every child who has started smoking will have had the horrible experience of the first cigarette and quickly get over that and crave it and it is damaging and it is also releasing carbon side which is in the short—term going to narrow the vessels —— carbon. so it is not only cardiovascular problems, it will also affect the breathing

capacity and kids want to dance and all of those things and that will affect their ability to do that. and you talk about the correlation between those who drink alcohol.m is an interesting study because it combines both factors. previous studies have been about smoking. in this country, buying cigarettes and alcohol under 18 is illegal. where are they getting them from? all the siblings i think. i was watching from a hospital window the other day andi from a hospital window the other day and i saw an older teenager handing cigarettes to a 13—year—old. and they were getting just the cigarettes, not the packet with the warnings et cetera. kids are buying cigarettes, maybe getting them as rewards. this is a form of self harm without full knowledge of what comes without full knowledge of what comes with smoking. how closely intertwined is smoking with alcohol use as well? we know as adults we

like a fag and booze, it goes together, people talk to me when they are wanting to stop smoking and they are wanting to stop smoking and they say one of the triggers is alcohol. i did a project with the lg bt alcohol. i did a project with the lgbt community and alcohol is high use among lgbt people and smoking goes together, seen as a smoking thing, going outside the pub to chat with your mates, it is that connection with alcohol and smoking. if they stopped smoking and drinking, would it make a difference, would it reverse what happened? the study implies it does, and we have to think about the short—term and long—term effects, but we are thinking about a growing child, and if lung function is going to be damaged, if they might have asthma and other issues, this is all about allowing people for their bodies to heal and recover quickly. it is important to have the recovery if you stop. i would be keen for

people not to start because nicotine is the warning. if we look at... i work in schools. kids are curious about these things. some of the things they are curious about is the debris in the street, the cigarette butts, 40% to 50% in the streets are cigarettes, they can damage the environment, if it gets into the waterways it can kill fish, it you know, these things are very harmful. they are curious about it. this information gives us more ammunition, more facts to share with young people, in order to influence themselves and their peers. com pletely themselves and their peers. completely off message, but when did we stop growing? your brain produces brain cells in your early 20s. so your lungs, when you think about the growth spurt, people really grow in the teenage years, people grow up really tall. so information is key

and if they know this it might make and if they know this it might make a difference. i think so, yes. good to meet you, thank you. let us know what you think about that, get in contact through the usual means. you can find us on twitter and facebook as well. later we will talk about the great british bake off. have you been baking before it? have you been baking? i am baking today. iam not you been baking? i am baking today. i am not on tomorrow. and jessic ennis—hill will be on to talk about the sports personality of the year. absolutely. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm tolu adeoye. the met police are looking for a cyclist after a collision in dalston that's left a pedestrian with critical injuries. a woman who is believed to be in her 50s is said to have been trying to cross kingsland high street during last

night's rush hour. the cyclist came off his bike and left the scene, later abandoning the bike. police are appealing for witnesses. a man who died after being stabbed in south east london at the weekend has been named as shevaun sorrell. the 22—year—old was found in creek road in deptford just before midnight on sunday, but passed away in hospital an hour later. anyone who saw a fight in the area is asked to contact the police. part of the m25 near the dartford crossing that closed for much of yesterday because of an oil spill has now re—opened. two lorries crashed between junction 30 and 31, causing long tailbacks. some drivers reported being stuck on the motorway for more than seven hours, with others staying in hotels overnight. a film made by and reflecting the lives of 15 young people from an estate in islington has reached a million youtube views in just a fortnight. the ideas, characters and storyline are based on the group's own experiences.

those behind it say the aim is to challenge stereotypes. music as an issue — no, it's not. we need to go deeper and find out the real problems young people are facing today. projects like this are making a transition in our young people. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there a delays on the metropolitan line. and the piccadilly line is part suspended between south harrow and uxbridge. but on the railway, south—western services have delays of up 15 minutes between guildford and hazelmere. southeastern and thameslink also have 15 minute delays westbound between orpington and bromley south and swanley and bromley south. the m25 is closed betweenjunction 25 enfield and junction 24 potters bar for emergency repairs. you can see the delays there. two lanes are also closed anticlockwise betweenjunction 26 waltham abbey and junction 25 enfield because of a broken down lorry. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello, good morning. you could need your umbrella this morning. we've got outbreaks of rain

working their way towards the east. it's a cloudy start. and that rain is quite showery. but there could be some heavy bursts in there gradually working its way east in the morning. something dry and bright for a time. cloud will tend to increase with the risk of one or two isolated showers. temperatures in the high teens, low 20s. a maximum of 21 degrees with a north—westerly breeze. through this evening, then, still the risk of one or two showers for a time. but then overnight we will see the skies clearing. it will be dry and fresher than last night with overnight lows of seven to 10 degrees. we could see one or two patches of mist forming as well. tomorrow, then, any patches of mist will lift fairly quickly. it's looking like a mostly dry day, we can't rule out the odd shower, some good spells of sunshine but cloud tending to bubble out through the day. temperatures are little fresher with a maximum of around 21 degrees. and then warming up a little as we move towards the weekend.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. it's 7:30am. all the latest news and sport in the next half an hour or so. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. british fishermen are asking for government protection after being attacked by their french counterparts off the coast of normandy. 35 french vessels gathered on monday night to stop british scallop dredgers, who they claim are pillaging the shellfish stocks. the local fisherman threw rocks and smokebombs to deter the british boats, despite them being legally entitled to fish in the area. essentially we are fishing 40 miles off the french coast when a flotilla off the french coast when a flotilla of french fishermen came out, surrounded the vessel, along with mine and other uk vessels, were throwing missiles, trying to put

roads in the propellers and essentially foul the gear. it was pretty much short of piracy and we had to evacuate the area. now, there was a french naval vessel alongside that watched the whole thing, but didn't intervene in any manner. so we're very shocked about the whole situation. a mother and daughter killed in a suspected double murder in solihull were on the phone to police as they were attacked, according to detectives. police are continuing to search for 21—year—old janbaz tarin, after his former partner, 22—year—old raneem oudeh, and her mother, 49—year—old, khaloa saleem, were fatally attacked in the early hours of bank holiday monday. there are calls for ministers to address what's being called a crisis in children's mental health after a study found that almost a quarter of girls aged 14 said they'd deliberately harmed themselves. the children's society says early support for vulnerable children and their families is vital, but councils don't have the funding. the department of health said it is investing an extra £300 million in mental health

services in schools. with the young people we work with across the country, there's still a lot of stigma about these kinds of mental health issues. it's still really hard to ask for help, and so something like self—harm, which can be quite private, is probably one way of dealing with those feelings, but not necessarily a good way. we'll be speaking to a child and adolescent psychiatrist in around 10 minutes who has advice for any parents who are worried about self—harm. and if you have been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find details of organisations which offer advice and support on the bbc actionline website at bbc.co.uk/actionline. companies have been warned not to tempt pensioners out of final salary pension schemes by offering them cash lump sums. the pension regulator has written to 14 firms after more people are cashing in retirement pots and managing the money themselves. it warns that overly generous payouts could damage the schemes' remaining funds. the northern ireland fire service says there are grave

concerns that a historic building in belfast city centre could collapse. around 100 firefighters have been tackling a blaze which broke out at the primark store yesterday morning. the listed bank buildings were built in 1785 and were undergoing a major refurbishment. there are no reports of any injuries and staff and customers were safely evacuated. theresa may will visit africa's biggest economy, nigeria, this morning on the second day of a trade mission to africa aimed at strengthening economic ties ahead of brexit. the prime minister announced £4 billion of extra british support for african economies during the first leg of her trip on tuesday. mrs may will also meet meet victims of modern slavery and unveil a series of measures to cut illegal migration into europe from west africa. the arteries of teenagers who drink and smoke show signs of hardening even by the age of 17, according to new research published in the european heartjournal.

this can be an indicator that blood vessels are being damaged, increasing the likelihood of heart disease or stroke in later life, but the impact can be reversed if teenagers give up the habit. coming up on the programme: carol with have the weather but first sally is here with the sport. we're going to talk about the weather and how it's affecting the tennis. have we got any foota in the sport? we do have some. our previous guest in a story we were mentioning about arteries of young people, referred to football as foota.” haven't heard that in a long time. and old family friend called it foota. i know someone in this building calls it foota. i would have called it footy. foota is accept have called it footy. foota is a cce pt of have called it footy. foota is accept of all. we're going to start with weather, 38 degrees in new york for the tennis forjo konta. a total

sweat —fest! for the tennis forjo konta. a total sweat -fest! she came off court and her eyes were still hot! that's how hot it is! joanna konta has been knocked out of the us open, beaten in the first round in straight sets by france's caroline garcia. recent poor form meant the british number one was unseeded in new york and sixth seed garcia took the first set easily. konta had recently beaten serena williams but there was no sign of that form as she lost the second set, also 6—2. it means there are no british women left in the singles. novak djokovic struggled in the new york heat and humidity but is through to the second round. he beat marton fucsovics in four sets. at one point the players had a 10—minute heat break in which they took ice baths, much to the amusement of the people in the post—match press conference. no, we were not both in one ice bath! laughter i said that very clearly, two ice baths, one next to another. 45 seconds or one minute

and that's it, you go out. it was too kind of shock your body in a way because it was so warm. it feels like everything is boiling in your body, you know? so the giant towel is filled with ice, and even then he still looks hot. gosh! here's the foota. this is it now! west ham survived a scare at afc wimbledon to reach the third round of the league cup. the league one side took an early lead, joe pigott with the goal. wimbledon then had a man sent off but it was nearly an hour before west ham equalised through issa diop. west ham eventually won 3—1. elsewhere saido berahino scored his first goal in 2.5 years in stoke's win over huddersfield. the results of all the other ties are on the bbc sport website. now, it's a potentially huge day for scottish football. the sport's governing body is meeting this morning to decide whether to move the national stadium from hampden park in glasgow, to murrayfield in edinburgh, a ground synonymous with rugby union. chris mclaughlin reports. it's a stadium with many stories to tell.

this the famous european cup final of 1960. real madrid 7—3 eintracht frankfurt. but its upkeep is proving too costly for the sfa. they could vote, stay or move elsewhere. i've got a jacket in here, it's one of these heavy winter coats. in the stadium's museum there is a man who can't bear the thought of a move away. i'm embedded in this place, but, as i said to you before, that's not the reason i'm supporting hamden, because i've criticised this place on many occasions. i do so because it is so much embedded in ourfootballing culture. to have it disappear would be a grievous loss. i want to play for scotland. this is the other option, a move 50 miles east along the m8 motorway to the home

of scottish rugby. the sru have been working hard to sell it. it's a bigger stadium and could be financially more attractive. it's the dilemma that is dividing a nation. a decision that could change our national game for ever. of course we will keep you posted on whatever that decision is. jamie vardy and gary cahill have effectively retired from international football. leicester's vardy‘s scored seven goals in 26 appearances for england and was part of gareth southgate's squad for the world cup in russia. he's 32, and says he wants to concentrate on his club football and his family. cahill made his england debut in 2010 and captained the side on several occasions. he only played once at the world cup in the group match against belgium. both players have said they've not completely closed the door on england. i think that ties in with the whole philosophy of gareth southgate at the moment. it's not like they're

both saying we don't want to play any more. if they need him... they can go back. if he needs them, they can go back. if he needs them, they can go back. thank you very much, see you later. this is an issue now some may find distressing. the levels of self harm among young people is being described as a crisis in children's mental health. new research by the charity the children's society found nearly a quarter of 14—year—old girls in the uk say they have self—harmed. it concluded gender stereotypes and worries about appearance were contributing to unhappiness. we're joined now in the studio by tee, who used to self—harm, as well as doctor louise theodosiou from the royal college of psychiatrists. thank you for both of you coming in —— thanks to both of you for coming in the. tee, your own experience, what mildew self harm in the first place? —— coming in. growing up! place? —— coming in. growing up i went through quite a few things that were dramatic in my life. initially it was so hard to

deal with. at school i was bullied and there were things that contributed to my emotional state just completely going out of control. for me it was a way of coping with all those, like, oracle feelings. it's clear from these figures, louise, that you're not alone in that —— horrible feelings. it's shocking, a quarter of 14—year—old girls have claimed they have self harmed and also many boys as well. what do you think of those figures, are you shocked about the extent? it's an important question and i'm sorry that you've had those experiences and how amazing it is you're here today, because this is how we raise awareness. in terms of those figures, unfortunately i'm not shocked. we've known for a long time there's been concerns about the fact that if you look at hospital rates for admissions for self harm, that's been rising in the past decade so we know that there are these concerns and it's one of the reasons why we've been working very hard to

raise awareness about the need for more people to know what the signs are, for more people to be working with young people who may be experiencing these things. what is it about the age of 14, what happens? everything. ithink what it about the age of 14, what happens? everything. i think what we know is we've heard about some of the experiences that people have, we know you can be going through all sores of things at school and we also know this is the time where you're starting to establish your identity you may be questioning aspects of yourself. we know lots of young people who are lgbt experience higher rates of thoughts of lower mood, higher rates of self harm so we know there's some populations that are more vulnerable but we know in terms of the general society, this is a time where you might be looking around at the world and think about the challenges the whole world is facing and this is a time when you may be experiencing conditions like depression and low in mood, and that's an important thing to think about, making sure people are asking what is happening for this young person, what are the

reasons and what extra help can we give this young person? one thing that came out is that it could be pressures from social media, do you think that's one of the things going on? definitely, i feelthat's think that's one of the things going on? definitely, ifeelthat's a massive factor as to why people self—harm. i think there is this pressure of celebrities, not necessarily living a healthy diet and things like that which lead us to restricting diet and losing a lot of weight and eating disorders. there's a social media and websites that aren't helpful. pro anorexia websites and things like that, as i touched on a moment ago, and instagram is a big thing with people posting self—harm. people get stuck ona posting self—harm. people get stuck on a cycle of looking for support when actually they get stuck into being triggered and then they don't realise that it's having an impact on their health. i know that from personal experience, it's very hard. if someone is watching this morning and they're going through the same

thing you are going through right now, or there's a family thinking how can i help my son or daughter, whoever it might be, what would be your advice this morning? definitely talk about it. it's a scary thing to tell someone i'm struggling with thoughts of self harm, even the urges, they are as important. talk to someone about it and use as many resources as you can. talk to your friends and family, do things you enjoy. it's so much easier said than done, i know that, but the main thing is to be honest. nobody is going to sit there and scrutinise you for saying i'm struggling with this, it's a real issue. louise, you talked about spotting the signs, what kind of signs can parents, teachers and friends notice? looking for changes. if someone is spending more time in their room, if there's a change in appetite and they're not enjoying the things they used to. if someone enjoying the things they used to. if someone is no longer enjoying taking as much care in their appearance, withdrawing from friends and if they seem more

withdrawing from friends and if they seem more irritable. one thing we have to make sure it is with thinking about the different ways people might communicate distress. people might not use words like sad and anxious, they might use angry, stressed and tired. parents must think about the language children use. and there's also lots of things parents can do to help. we need to have these conversations, what is happening is a treatable condition, it's nothing to be ashamed of and there's lots we can do. tee, what helped you come out the other side, did someone talk to you about it, a family member, how did it come about? unfortunately for me mine got so severe about? unfortunately for me mine got so severe i ended up in hospital. for me it got to the point of com plete for me it got to the point of complete crisis. that's why i was saying, you know, i needed someone to tell me to talk about it, it's nothing to be ashamed of. then being in hospital and having therapy to outlet it in a different way. interesting use a talk about it, you

try and talk sometimes and teenagers don't necessarily want to talk. are there right questions to ask and write times? making sure that you make it private, not necessarily in a big way, maybe in the car together, just taking time—out, which is difficult, to be alone with one person and in the conversation think about the words someone is using. if they talk about being tired, try to pick up on the queues and it is about offering that more than once, that people know that it might not be the right time for them, even if it is the right time for the parent or the carer, you need that repeated in lots of different ways. helpful discussion, thank you. the department of health said making sure children and young people is vital and that's why they are investing £300 million to provide help for schools and they have a pilot scheme being extended to 20 areas of the country to improve links between schools and mental health services which will hopefully make a difference. thank you very

much. you have been working with us for a while, so thank you, it has been great. and if you have been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find details of organisations which offer advice and support on the bbc actionline website at bbc.co.uk/actionline. lots of information for you. good morning. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it is an upward trend, you're talking to us about earlier? yes, in terms of temperature, you are right, good morning. what we have for the next few days is the weather changing, it will become dry for many parts of the uk, not all, and we will seek all the nights as sky is clear, and the temperature really gets. what we have today is a weather fronts thinking south—east, taking cloud and bring with it, another coming up from france bringing rain, interestingly this has already produced 100,000 lightning strikes in france over the night. we might see the odd flash of

lightning but it will be all low risk and it will push away through the day with a weather front sinking south, here it is, as a weakening feature, a band of cloud with a spot of rain and it does brighten up behind it. this afternoon in scotla nd behind it. this afternoon in scotland there will be sunshine around, showers in the north and west, northern ireland will have brighter skies with the chance of the odd shower and a moderate westerly wind, for northern england, wales and south—west england it will brighten up with some sunshine and the weather front producing the cloud. behind it the cloud will move in later in the day. and then overnight it will clear away leaving us overnight it will clear away leaving us with clear skies. that means it will be a cooler nights than the one just gone especially in prone areas such as parts of southern england, where the temperatures could fall to four or five degrees. where the temperatures could fall to four orfive degrees. and in some of the sheltered glens of northern scotland, the temperature could dip to three orfour degrees,

scotland, the temperature could dip to three or four degrees, so scotland, the temperature could dip to three orfour degrees, so here scotland, the temperature could dip to three or four degrees, so here we are likely to see a touch of frost. this morning it also means under those clear skies there will be a lot of sunshine. however through the course of the day you will notice the cloud building and it could be thick enough for one or two showers in the west. once again they will be well scattered, not all of us will see them at all, and the temperature range, 14 in the north, to 21 in the south—east. now we have this system just waiting in the wings, what it is isa just waiting in the wings, what it is is a clutch of fronts. they are going to becoming our way on friday, high—pressure clings on in central and eastern areas, so here after a cold start to the day there will be afair bit cold start to the day there will be a fair bit of sunshine around. in the west as the weather fronts come in they will introduce more cloud and also some spots of rain. now, the timing and the placement of this could change, so if you're doing anything outdoors on friday keep watching the weather forecast. temperature—wise not dissimilar to

thursday, 14 to about 21. then as we had from friday into the weekend, well, on saturday, if we talk about temperatures, as dan was, you can see them start to climb, so on sunday it will be the low 20s or the mid—20s, somewhere in the south—east could hit 24 or 25 and into the early pa rt could hit 24 or 25 and into the early part of next week the warming trend continues, especially in the south and the west, whereas for the rest of the uk the greater chance of seeing some rain, dan and louise. thank you very much, see you later. i love when she gets the rain weather out. yes, steph is looking at something we look at every month, mobile phone bills and she has one of the big bosses with. good morning. yes, me explain. half of customers say they feel ripped off by their mobile phone bills according to research by one of the biggest providers. mark evans, the ceo of o2, joins me in the studio now.

thank you forjoining us. so you have this research which says people feel ripped off by the mobile phone providers. are you ripping off your customers? i believe not. what we found from the survey is two things, let me talk about them, first is we love technology, we use it increasingly in allies, but the technology is getting expensive, so at 02 we have a responsibility to enable to get the device you like at the budget you can afford —— in our lives. and also, 50% of households say they feel ripped off with household bills, and that comes when services are conflated and bound together and they don't have the transparency. we are responding to both of those points today and we are enabling the customer to take control and have a customised plan for that. so you're making things more flexible for the customer, you recently put up your bills in april

for all customers, can't you just make them cheaper rather than flexible, people would prefer that? the good news today is we are doing exactly that, we are making the technology much more affordable. it will reduce bills. so the customer can come into the store, choose the device they like, they can discuss the date of like and we can discuss and affordability plan and look at the tenure of the product to make sure it is just right for them. using from this people will pay less ? using from this people will pay less? there is no doubt people have the ability to choose less, said... because youswitch did work on this and they said injuly that this, what you are offering, this 02 refresh it could leave customers overpaying £69 a year on bills because when they pay off the cost of the phone they could end up on hayet airtime bills compare to switching to a different contract —— higher airtime bills.”

switching to a different contract —— higher airtime bills. i have not seen higher airtime bills. i have not seen the article, but citizens advice reported last year that 02 customers are in a unique position — when your device is paid off we automatically reduce your bills. no other service provider responds in that way. in fa ct, provider responds in that way. in fact, they carry on charging you. at 02 we don't wait for you to contact us we 02 we don't wait for you to contact us we automatically reduce the bill and they report you could be better off hundreds of pounds on the o2 refresh contract. i know you talk recently about 5g and are something you guys must be looking forward to, and at creating the updated network, still, a third of the country gets no data signal at all, what are you doing about that? you are spot on and it is great to be excited about new technologies, and we should have a vested interest, but equally we we re a vested interest, but equally we were to citizens to invest in 4g. last year we spent £1 billion, more than any operator on a mobile network in the last year, and the

public is feeling the difference. yes, there is more to do. they voted us yes, there is more to do. they voted us the best network coverage in the uk. i have real empathy with customers who want improvement because that is exactly what we are striving for. so are you investing money in trying to get better signals for people who have none? absolutely, everyday, every minute we invest, building new sites and using existing technology as well as keeping an eye on the future 5g technology that will come. can i also ask about customers using their phone abroad, because for the last year we haven't had to pay for the eu roaming charges, when we leave the eu, what will happen, do you think? that is a very good question and much depends on how all of the european networks react. what i will say is on our behalf we hope we can protect the same charging mechanism that exist today. we want to give them the peace of mind to use the device wherever they are. do you

have contingency plans? well, we do and we will continue as i say to give customers the best possible way to access technology and we are already reaching out to carriers across europe to make sure we are in the strongest possible position. thank you very much for your time this morning, i appreciate you coming in and that is it for now. thank you very much and i ensure that people are thinking about that while they are on holiday, so thank you very much, thank you. the trees are in trouble. oak, ash and birch are just some of the trees native to britain. over the years other varieties have been imported and while this adds diversity to our woodland it can also bring problems in the form of pests and diseases. tomos morgan is in ledbury for us this morning finding out what is being done to protect british trees. good morning. good morning. iam at the y they'll nursery and although not all of these types of conifers are native to the uk they are home—grown and that is important because over the years we been importing shrubbery from across our shaws —— wyevale garden centres. they have brought pests and diseases

that affect the woodlands. chris, you're a manager here, tell me why it is important to make sure you keep the home—grown element in your business. it's really about minimising the risk to the business and minimising the risk to the wider landscape. anything we can do to minimise the risk has to be a good thing, and, yes, as i said before, imports are coming down, that's a good thing, the general public need to drive the growth here. and obviously with ash dieback being a huge issue across the uk, holly, tell us what the public can do to curb the issues we see at the moment? the public can do a lot and more than they probably realise and it goes from reporting the diseases or the pests that they spot through the tree alert with forest research and not bringing things back from holidays, and when you buy thing in a garden centre and at home ask where it is coming from but so that you can help support nurseries in

the uk which are sourced and grown in the uk and part of this scheme. thank you very much. the government has put a ban on restricting oak trees to curb some of the issues and we will plant 11 million extra trees to try to help those that are dying from certain diseases across the country. ok, thomas, thank you very much, we will see you later. we are fast approaching 8am and jessic ennis—hill will be here to talk about the great british bake off. have any of you been baking? send us your triumph. you are doing the post great british bake off. it is my daughter's birthday. time for the news, travel and weather wherever you are, we will see you in a few minutes' time. good morning from bbc london news. the met police are looking for a cyclist after a collision in dalston that's left a pedestrian

with critical injuries. a woman who is believed to be in her 50s is said to have been trying to cross kingsland high street during last night's rush hour. the cyclist came off his bike and left the scene — later abandoning the bike. police are appealing for witnesses. a man who died after being stabbed in south east london at the weekend has been named as shevaun sorrell. the 22—year—old was found in creek road in deptford just before midnight on sunday, but passed away in hospital an hour later. anyone who saw a fight in the area is asked to contact the police. part of the m25 near the dartford crossing that closed for much of yesterday because of an oil spill has now re—opened. two lorries crashed between junction 30 and 31, causing long tailbacks. some drivers reported being stuck on the motorway for more than seven hours. with others staying in hotels overnight. a film made by and reflecting the lives of 15 young people from an estate in islington has reached a million youtube views in just a fortnight. the ideas, characters and storyline are based on the group's own experiences.

those behind it say the aim is to challenge stereotypes. the media label music as an issue — no, it's not. we need to go deeper and find out the real problems young people are facing today. projects like this are making a transition in our young people. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on the bakerloo and metropolitan lines. the piccadilly line has severe delays. on the railway, southern have delays of up to half an hour and some cancellations between uckfield and oxted because of trespassers on the line. there are 15 minute delays on southeastern and thameslink westbound between both orpington and swanley and bromley south. the m25 is closed between junction 25 and junction 24 for emergency repairs. you can see the delays there. two lanes are also closed anticlockwise betweenjunction 26 and junction 25 because of a broken down lorry. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin.

hello, good morning. you could need your umbrella this morning. we've got outbreaks of rain working their way towards the east. it's a cloudy start. and that rain is quite showery. but there could be some heavy bursts in there gradually working its way east in the morning. something dry and bright for a time. cloud will tend to increase with the risk of one or two isolated showers. temperatures in the high teens, low 20s. a maximum of 21 degrees with a north—westerly breeze. through this evening, then, still the risk of one or two showers for a time. but then overnight we will see the skies clearing. it will be dry and fresher than last night with overnight lows of seven to 10 degrees. we could see one or two patches of mist forming as well. tomorrow, then, any patches of mist will lift fairly quickly. it's looking like a mostly dry day, we can't rule out the odd shower, some good spells of sunshine but cloud tending to bubble out through the day. temperatures are little fresher with a maximum of around 21 degrees. and then warming up a little as we move towards the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour.

bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. french and british boats clash in the english channel in a vicious scrap over scallops. warnings of a "crisis in children's mental health", as figures show almost a quarter of 14—year—old girls have self—harmed. the bullying made me feel really, really depressed so i think that was kind of a response for me because it was something that i could control. british gas made to pay out £2.6 million after the regulator found it was overcharging customers. more on that in a moment. in sport, joanna konta is out of the us open. the british number one is beaten in the first round by caroline garcia of france. and best of the batch,

candice and selasi, willjoin us to give us their view on who'll rise to the top in this year's bake—off. good morning. the temperatures are going to rise over the next few days but today we have rain pushing south and east which will clear, leaving bright skies and sunshine and showers behind. more in 15 minutes. it's wednesday, 29th august. jessica ennis—hill will be with us inafew jessica ennis—hill will be with us in a few minutes. our top story — french fishermen have been accused of throwing rocks and smoke bombs at their british rivals in the english channel, in a vicious scrap over scallops. the clash happened around 13 miles off the normandy coast. british boats are legally entitled to fish in the scallop—rich area, but their presence has infuriated the french. lebo diseko has more. this is what's being called the "scallop wars." french fishermen clash with their british counterparts

in the sea off the normandy coast. rocks and smoke bombs just some of the things reportedly thrown at english and scottish vessels in the early hours of tuesday morning. essentially, we are pushing 40 miles of the french coast when a flotilla of the french coast when a flotilla of french fishermen came out, surrounded the vessel, along with mine and other uk vessels, were throwing missiles, tried but rob simmons propellers and essentially foul the gear. i simmons propellers and essentially foulthe gear. i mean, it simmons propellers and essentially foul the gear. i mean, it was pretty much short of piracy. we had to evacuate the area. now, there was a french naval vessel alongside that watched the whole thing but didn't intervene in any manner. so we are very shocked about the whole situation. go! it is the latest instalment in ongoing tension over fishing in these waters. french law says its fishermen can only harvest scallops here between october and may.

the brits face no such restrictions, and the french fishermen, like this one, think that's not fair. translation: they have no hours, no quotas, they just fill their boats. they come, scrape and leave. they start working a month before us and they leave us the crumbs. in previous years, the two sides have been able to come to an agreement to harvest more fairly, but this year that didn't happen. with about 35 vessels to five, the french far outnumbered the british, and ultimately chased them away. now uk fishermen are demanding government protection. lebo diseko, bbc news. there are calls for ministers to address what's being called a "crisis in children's mental health", after a study found that almost a quarter of girls aged 14 said they'd deliberately harmed themselves. the children's society says early support for vulnerable children and their families is vital, but councils don't have the funding. the department of health said

it is investing an extra £300 million in mental health services in schools. with the young people we work with across the country, there's still a lot of stigma about these kinds of mental health issues. it's still really hard to ask for help. something like self harm that can be quite private is probably one way of dealing with those feelings but not necessarily a good way. and if you are affected by any of the issues raised, you can find details of organisations which offer advice and support on the bbc action line website at bbc.co.uk/actionline. a mother and daughter killed in a suspected double murder in solihull were on the phone to police as they were attacked, according to detectives. police are continuing to search for 21—year—old janbaz tarin, after his former partner 22 year old raneem oodeh and her mother, 49 year

old khoula saleem were fatally attacked in the early hours of bank holiday monday. the northern ireland fire service says there are "grave concerns" that a historic building in the heart of belfast city centre could collapse. around 100 firefighters have been tackling a blaze in the primark store inside the listed bank buildings which broke out yesterday. emma vardy is in belfast. emma, what is the situation there this morning? you were telling us earlier, millions have been spent refurbishing the building and there's not much of it left this morning. really just there's not much of it left this morning. reallyjust a burned-out sheu morning. reallyjust a burned-out shell and a lot of sadness from people who have been gathering again this morning to look at the extent of the damage. this building is right in the heart of the city centre. a very historic building, 200 years old, the bank building, and there were such dramatic scenes yesterday, from the start of the fire, which began on the top floor of the five story building, smoke billowing into the sky which could be seen for miles around and staff and many shoppers were evacuated. of

course, firefighters battled to get it under control but people looked on as the fire grew in intensity. it began to see parts of the roof and the structure starting to collapse. people looking at this with great sadness because it is a real landmark in the middle of the high street in belfast. as you say, it had been in the final stages of a £30 million refurbishment. really it just started to use it disintegrate as the flames grew higher and higher. —— it started to disintegrate. about 100 firefighters we re disintegrate. about 100 firefighters were tackling the blaze. this morning as you can see, it is very much a burnt out shell. still questions to answer about how exactly the fire started and whether any of the building can be salvaged in future. thank you forjoining us. british gas has been overcharging customers. it's paid back £2.7 million

after an investigation by ofgem, the regulator. steph has more on this. i'm trying to read slowly because i know you just have the press release. good morning. more than 94,000 customers were overcharged for switching providers. this is all to do with people who wanted to change when it came to the end of their contract. centrica, which owns british gas, said this is because of a system error but what the regulator has found, ofgem, if that customers were overcharged to the tune of £700,000. first of all, that has been paid back to customers but the other issue they found from ofgem's investigation into this is that when you come to the end of the contract, in the last 49 days, you essentially have a switching window when you can leave british gas and go to another provider without paying any exit fees. what ofgem have found is that british gas

wrongly informed 2.5 million customers that they would be charged and exit say. there would be lots you would not have moved because of that —— the exit fee. but some who did were then charged the fever leaving when they should not have been. overall, ofgem are saying british gas failed their customers who are coming to the end of their fixed contracts, and aren't any penalising them, applying charges in error. because of that —— they are u nfa i rly error. because of that —— they are unfairly penalising them. so british gas are paying people back and paying compensation as well. they have agreed to pay some money to ofgem's consumer redress fund which is all about helping people who have been badly treated. quickly, will you know this has happened to you and how do you get your money back? we don't know that yet but if it has happened to you and given the fact they have already paid out this money —— they have said they have readied paid back the money is a zoomable ugalde got it back.” readied paid back the money is a zoomable ugalde got it back. i want a camera on you today. pensions, o2,

ppi a camera on you today. pensions, o2, ff! is a camera on you today. pensions, o2, ppi is well. you've done a lot today! another story, you got ten minutes! theresa may will visit africa's biggest economy, nigeria, this morning, on the second day of a trade mission to africa aimed at strengthening economic ties ahead of brexit. the prime minister announced £4 billion of extra british support for african economies during the first leg of her trip on tuesday. mrs may will also meet meet victims of modern slavery and unveil a series of measures to cut illegal migration into europe from west africa. times square in new york was abuzz yesterday when police had to shut down a busy street because of bees swarming around a hot dog stand. an estimated 30,000 bees gathered at the top of this food ca rt‘s umbrella. this was a job for the new york police department's official beekeeper, who vacuumed the insects into a bucket. thankfully, the bees were ok, for

those who were concerned. i'm not sure what they do with them after that and no one knows why they were attracted to that umbrella. and there they go. it is 8:10am. she's best known for her gold winning performance on super saturday at london 2012, but former olympic heptathlete jess ennis—hill admits she couldn't have done it without the help of an unsung hero — her grandad. she had quite a few of them but him particularly. the most "inspiring, dynamic and dedicated" volunteers in grassroots sport will be shortlisted for an award at bbc sports personality of the year. and jess is here to tell us all about it. lovely to see you. good morning. so your grandad was your unsung hero, what kind of stuff did used to do? definitely one of my unsung heroes, the man who would take me to lots of my competitions, encouraged me to keep training. he was so passionate about sport and just wanting me to achieve my potential in sport. he made a huge difference to my journey. yes, throughout the early

yea rs. journey. yes, throughout the early years. you talk about him being one of them because presumably there we re of them because presumably there were lots of people who were heroes and help you along the way?” were lots of people who were heroes and help you along the way? i think every sports person, whether you reach the standards you want to and become elite or not, you always have key people in the early stages of your career who don't really want any recognition or accolades but they are there, supporting you, encouraging new and helping you find the right path into yourjourney into sport. going back to what louise mentioned, super saturday, and hopefully we will see pictures of you winning gold medal in 2012, i was about ten rows back on the finish line and your whole family we re finish line and your whole family were a couple of rows in front of me and when you crossed the line and all that emotion comes out, because of the build—up, because you had been the poster girl, were you thinking about all the help and encouragement you had had from many people of years? coaches, friends, family, everyone who had been aired for you. absolutely, in that moment you appreciate everything that

eve ryo ne you appreciate everything that everyone has done to get you to that moment and it's the most incredible feeling, the hard work it has taken, the people that have sacrificed their time and been so passionate about helping you succeed in your dreams. no way could i have stood on that track and achieved what i did in those two days without those people in the really early years of my career. and there will be so many people like that out there. this is their chance, we can now reward them, can't we? absolutely, and i have said these people are the kind of people that get on with it every day and they want to help people and they don't really want recognition or reward but this is such an amazing way to thank them and draw attention to the people that make those huge sacrifices for people like myself and other athletes to have those amazing moments on the track. nominations for the -- nominations open for the darder inaudible question get inspired unsung hero award.

what kind of people? whether it's someone what kind of people? whether it's someone who helps coaching at the track or down at your local club do that, additions, it's all the things that, additions, it's all the things that people do that you kind are not aware of and just make sure you vote for those people and help them to be recognised for the amazing work they do. we will give you details of where we can do that in a moment. the other thing to mention is that these people normally like to be on these people normally like to be on the sidelines, they are the ones opening up tennis courts and football pitches at ridiculous times of the morning and evening for people to try and succeed in a sport as you say, orjust enjoy playing. exactly, they just love as you say, orjust enjoy playing. exactly, theyjust love doing what they do, this is the 16th year of awarding the unsung hero award at the sports personality of the year. in those moments, it can be quite overwhelming to receive an award in front of all those people but it's bringing recognition not just front of all those people but it's bringing recognition notjust to the one person that has received the award but all the other volunteers and coaches and people out there that have helped. what are you up to now? you had a bit of time off

because you had your second baby. yeah. congratulations. some downtime, it's been really chilled out! relaxing, i'm also interested because serena williams, and you did this as well, has been talking about going back to elite level sport after becoming a mother. is it important that she talks about it not all being easy? i think it is so important and to read what she wrote on her instagram and to see other sportswomen going away, having children and coming back into the sport, and admitting it is not the easiest thing you can do for any mother to have your first child and going back to work is extremely difficult. but to come in at this level and achieve what she is achieved, yes, it's inspiring. you went back to sport after your first baby, how difficult was it? again, at the top level. yeah, it is by far the hardest thing i've ever done, training for the london olympics, i thought that was the tab is being ever but stepping away from the sport, having all those massive

changes to your body, physically but also mentally, and then trying to get back of your sport is the ha rd est get back of your sport is the hardest thing you will ever do. i'm not sure anyone has forgotten but we can see pictures of the wedding the world championship after you gave birth to reggie, your son. what was different? what made it harder, practically, being a mum? you were away from reggie, obviously, for some time but was it the physical differences which may training to that level, the peak physical perfection, made it much harder?m is the fact you are all way from your child and you have all that guilt. every motherfeels your child and you have all that guilt. every mother feels guilt, everything you do, you feel guilty so everything you do, you feel guilty soi everything you do, you feel guilty so i wanted to make sure everything idid on so i wanted to make sure everything i did on the track at the time i was away, it was worthwhile. physically, obviously, you know, my body was my tool in myjob and when i started training again, i couldn't do anything! i couldn't run very fast orfind the anything! i couldn't run very fast or find the extra gear and anything! i couldn't run very fast orfind the extra gear and i had to retrain physically to get back to where i was before. you are helping mothers to get back as well? there

isa mothers to get back as well? there is a project i'm working on at the moment, passionate about helping women during their pregnancies to stay fit and sharing some of my experiences and things i did when i was pregnant and afterwards as well, you know, exercise and expertise that i had along the way, helping me to have a really healthy pregnancy and comeback really strong. what are you doing... you know how sports men and women, whenever they finish, they need a challenge and lives! i know you have taken up running.” did a bit of running before! yes, but he were throwing javelins and everything as well. i am aware of your running talent but for longer distances, like ten day. not quite, but yes, i agree, you need to find a new challenge. what did you use to do? just a bit of running! yeah, you a lwa ys do? just a bit of running! yeah, you always need a challenge and i will a lwa ys always need a challenge and i will always stay fit and want to keep exercising but it's nice to try different ways of exercising. i was

medals! carol has this morning's weather. not a bad day for running today, some rain to get out of the way and then it will brighten up quite nicely but as we go through the week, for most of the uk it will become drier but we will have cooler nights at the sky clears at night. tonight, some of us could see a touch of frost but not everywhere. we have got a weather front moving from the north—west towards the south—east and another one coming up from france, both producing rain. this one, interestingly, produced over 100,000 lightning strikes in france overnight. there is a low chance we could see some lightning from it this morning before it clears the way onto the near continent. behind it, the first weather front careering southwards a weakening feature bringing cloud and showers with it and then behind that, it brightens up quite nicely. there will be some showers today across the north and west of scotland. this picture is 4pm. elsewhere, we should see sunny skies. outside chance of a shower

with brisk winds and sunny spells in northern ireland and the northern england, wales and south—west england, wales and south—west england, again brightening up for you. this is the old weather front extending from the wash in lincolnshire down towards the channel islands, producing cloud and the odd shower before that also eventually moves away. as it does so, it will leave us with mostly clear skies so temperatures will tumble. those are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities but in rural areas, in frost pocket in the south of england, the temperature will fall to four or 5 degrees and in rural parts or sheltered glens in the north—east scotland, three or four. sheltered glens in the north—east scotland, three orfour. there sheltered glens in the north—east scotland, three or four. there will bea scotland, three or four. there will be a touch of frost here and there tonight. tomorrow morning, a glorious start to the day with a of blue skies around, any shallow mist orfog forming blue skies around, any shallow mist or fog forming overnight will quickly disbursed and then through the day, we will start to see a bit more cloud developed. that could well be thick enough in the west than the odd shower here and there but again, not all of us will see one. temperatures, 13 or 14 in the

north, 20 or 21 one. temperatures, 13 or 14 in the north, 20 or21 in one. temperatures, 13 or 14 in the north, 20 or 21 in the south. then you can see what is waiting in the wings. there staying to friday, we have a clutch of front in the atla ntic have a clutch of front in the atlantic and high—pressure hanging on by the skin of its teeth across central and eastern areas. as the front approaches, the cloud will thicken and start to introduce some rain. the timing and placement of this is still open to question but this is still open to question but this is still open to question but this is what we think at this stage. through the day, the cloud ahead of it will start to build but there will be sunny spells as well and temperatures not too dissimilar to what we are expecting on thursday. a range of 14 — 21 as we sweep down to the sunshine in parts of the south—east. as we head on into the weekend, if we stick with temperatures, you can see how they start to rise on saturday so for many of the capitals, we are looking ata high many of the capitals, we are looking at a high teens on low 20s and then on sunday, low to mid 20s and as we start the new working week, again, temperatures set to rise a bit more

in the south and parts of the west but for the rest of the uk, a higher chance of seeing some rain so temperatures will not be aside. thanks, carol. 8:21am. theresa may will head to nigeria today on the second day of a visit aimed at increasing trading and investment links with africa ahead of brexit. when trade is on the agenda, the news footage is usually full of factories, hard hats and hi—vis jackets, but it's a rather different image which has attracted much of the comment so far — the prime minster dancing with school children in cape town. the pictures have gained a lot of attention, but is it the sort of attention her advisors had hoped for? we're joined now from westminster by the spectator‘s political correspondent katy balls and tony blair's former special advisor, john mcternan. thank you forjoining us. . i suppose the question to both of you is does it matter how the prime minister dances? i don't think it

matters too much, i think she has made a nation smile, probably not for the reasons number ten would have hoped but given all the problems the prime minister has when it comes to brexit and her feuding party, a few headlines about her dancing a bit awkwardly is not the worst she has seen and we knew already she was a bit awkward, that is why she is nicknamed the maybot. your response? i think the problem for theresa may and the staff in numberten is that for theresa may and the staff in number ten is that this wouldn't bother anyone if there was some substance to the tour. the thing is, there's no real substance, people know it is an empty gesture to try to pretend we can maintain increased craigen africa as if that were an alternative to the eu. as ever, a picture tells a thousand words and this picture tells us what we know, that she is quite awkward, in situations, but it tells us even more which is that there is no good picture of her in a high vizjacket andl picture of her in a high vizjacket and i bet they are all wishing they

had got one of her on a construction site grabbed a factory or at some british owned business in south africa, even standing outside somebody selling jaguars would have been better than this. picking up that thought that there is no substance but this is a trade visit, isn't it? yes but it's also about international aid and i think her announcement yesterday about britain's aid to africa landed fairly well from number ten's perspective. we have seen some charities have some quite warm words for it though on that level they will be quite happy with the announcement. that said, i think theresa may will always resist putting on a hard hat because that is what george osborne was known for and she is keen to distance herself from her predecessors so maybe it had to be done this way. disinterest m, had to be done this way. disinterest in, let's talk about image because presumably her advisers would have known that this visit was on the agenda and that this might happen. could they have thought about it more carefully? she is getting into the spirit of it so does it matter?

i agree with katie, it will have brought a smile to most people's faces but the one thing about theresa may is people cannot be that malicious about her because she is not a malicious character herself. she may be not interesting, stiff and difficult in social situations, but in the end, the picture does not tell you anything you didn't know already. the worst pictures are the ones which show that your actions or your posture or your belief or your actions are at odds with the way the public see you. we have learned nothing new about theresa may. i personally would never arrange to have her in a primary school because i don't think that's a great set of pictures for her. she's much better at the table looking serious than she is trying to relax with young people. there are images and we will show a couple now that sort of steam to stay with politicians, the ed miliband one —— seem to stay. i'm sure you will remember that. and also borisjohnson sure you will remember that. and also boris johnson on sure you will remember that. and also borisjohnson on the zip wire. probably the best way of describing

it! laughter are there some images politicians would prefer not out there? the boris picture is brilliant for a kane because it shows you who he is, basically a larger than life character, —— is brilliant for a mayor. that works for the mayor of london because you want a character like that to be the mayor of a big city but it does not look prime minister real and that image will haunt him as he tries to become the prime minister and dislodge theresa may. —— does not look like a prime minister. we did not learn anything new about ed miliband except that probably, like everyone, you should not be photographed when we are eating —— when he's eating food and we all made to look fools like that and it's probably best done by consenting adults in private rather than by politicians in public. we now live in an age where there's never really a moment where you are without a camera around so do you think we are all in some ways in danger of images like this? yeah, i

think definitely and we have seen it being latched onto when politicians do and there's them nothing wrong with it because it shows a more human side but i think with theresa may and looking awkward at dancing, lots of voters will be thinking, give her a break, we know she's awkward but at least she tried and they will think that eventually because the job is relentless and there's lots of opportunities to make fun of these people but after awhile, you've got to let it. thank you forjoining us. it is obviously raining so sorry about the umbrella! i'm glad you've got one at least. that was a massive umbrella. dealing with all of the weather that london was firing at them very impressively. you're watching brea kfast. impressively. you're watching breakfast. time to get the news and weather where good morning. the weather is going

to remain mostly dry over the next few days. we do have some rain and this morning. showers affecting the south—east of england from this weather system and patchy rain affecting northern and western areas from this weather front. that will weaken. all it will bring is a band of cloud down to the south east. showers in the south—east will gradually fade away. during this afternoon it is looking much crier. riders skies developing before mcleod spills in. —— brighter skies. sunny spells for much of england. a few showers in the west. plenty of dry and bright weather for scotland. maximum tents across the uk getting to about 17 to 21 degrees. —— temperatures macro. lots of dry weather. mr and patchy fog. look at

the greens. some blue on the map. temperatures in towns and cities getting down to single figures. perhaps two and three celsius in the north—west of scotland. another dry start to thursday from any. cloud building in the afternoon. the risk of the odd shower perhaps in northern and western areas. for most it is dry on thursday. temperatures around 17 to 21. high pressure is going to dominate things for the end of the week. we have got some weather systems moving into the west. they would be fairly weak as they bump into that area of high pressure. by the end of the week it will be mostly dry. and also warmer as we head into the weekend. temperatures into the mid—20s by the end of the weekend. this is business live from bbc news, with ben thompson and sally bundock.
