as she demonstates new moves on her visit to kenya. good morning. the weather in london today at the exotic crossrail roof garden above the canary wharf station. it is a chilly start across the uk with a fine day to come. it is warming up this weekend. it is not clear skies everywhere. i have more details about your weekend weather and this place coming up. it's friday, 31 august. our top story: there's a warning that the care system in england is at breaking point, as a new study predicts that more than a million over—65s will need round—the—clock care in the next 20 years. the authors of the report, in the lancet, warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a long—term solution. here's our social affairs correspondent alison holt. we are living longer and more of us will need help in our old age.
6:02 am
today's research spells out the pressures that brings. the number of people in their mid—80s with complex health problems who need 24—hour a day support will double within two decades. the researchers calculate that by 2035 there will be nearly half a million people aged 85 and over who need round—the—clock care. overall in the 65 plus age group, more than i million will require that high level of support. and the report warns health and care services will have to adapt, because families will struggle. it is going to be more difficult forfamilies, because women are the predominant carers, women are having to work longer, they are taking retirement later. and just at that age they will have maybe an 85—year—old parent who they will have to care for. and sometimes two parents that they will have to care for. the government says it will set out its plans for the future funding
6:03 am
of care services this autumn and that it aims to meet the challenge of a growing ageing population head on. alison holt, bbc news. police have arrested a man in connection with the fatal stabbings of two women in solihull. raneem oudeh and her mother khaola saleem were attacked on bank holiday monday. a 21—year—old man was detained in the sparkhill area of birmingham late last night, as tom burridge reports. this video posted on facebook appears to show the 21—year—old man arrested late last night on a residential street in the sparkhill area of birmingham. on monday police issued this photo of janbaz tarin. he was wanted in connection with a
6:04 am
double murder in a quiet cul—de—sac in solihull. two women were stabbed to death here in the early hours of monday morning. one of the victims was janbaz tarin‘s ex—girlfriend raneem oudeh. the other home over 49—year—old khaloa saleem. we know raneem oudeh made a number of 999 calls on the evening she was killed. she was on the phone to police when she was stabbed. an ally ofjeremy corbyn has accused the veteran labour mp frank field of making grotesque slurs after he resigned from the parliamentary party because of leadership‘s stance on anti—semitism. meanwhile, in an article in his local paper, mr field urges the labour leadership to end what he calls its racist tolerance. let's speak to our political correspondent chris mason. it is quite a story, this, so what has the reaction being? yes, good
6:05 am
morning. real reaction from both sides of the argument within the labour party. chris williamson, labour party. chris williamson, labour backbencher and loyalist of jeremy corbyn, very outspoken, as mentioned, suggesting that he was grotesque in his language and was jumping before he was pushed. others very, very much leaping to the defence of mr field, saying he has beenin defence of mr field, saying he has been in the labour party for 60 yea rs, been in the labour party for 60 years, he has been an mp since 1979 and when he raises concerns around 87 -- and when he raises concerns around 87 —— around 87 —— anti—semitism he should be listened to. he wrote a article in the local paper, and a party where anti—semitism is more than tolerated. he goes on to say something his local party, with whom he has had a long—standing disagreement in recent years, saying
6:06 am
they are demonstrating in tolerance and nasty nurse towards those who hold different views from their own. and we will speak with frank field late in the programme. while i have you, cani late in the programme. while i have you, can i ask you about the latest pictures of theresa may dancing. i know it caused headlines a couple of days ago when she pulled off some shapes, shall we say. she is dancing again. do you think now she is doing it on purpose knowing it is getting comment from people? once you have been on the dance floor once, you can't resist going out again and what is the technical phrase? busting moves, the pm is doing, isn't she? what's interesting in the recent pictures is she seems to be more enthusiastic than anyone else around her, as opposed to the relu cta nt around her, as opposed to the reluctant person caught up in that moment. i have waited 16 years in my bbc career to be asked for my analysis of the dance moves, so i will use these 20 or 30 seconds. you
6:07 am
know what, good on her, the prime minister. she gets loads of stick day but a. what are you supposed to do if not get into the stick of it? —— day by day. who knows where she will do it next? you never failto make us smile. thank you very much. we will see you later. i see it. i do. it's make or break today for the diy retailer homebase, because of a crucial meeting with landlords who could decide its fate. ben can tell us why. it is happening? it is a sorry tale for homebase. it was bought by the big australian firm into thousand 16, then they sold it for £1 because they couldn't make it work, —— in 2016. then it was bought by a turnaround specialist. they want to go to the landlord to get a reduction in the rent. a lot of the
6:08 am
stores are reduction in the rent. a lot of the stores a re not reduction in the rent. a lot of the stores are not making money. they say they are paying too much money for the out warehouses and it is costing too much. what happens today is the make or break meeting with the landlords. whether they are prepared to take a cut in how much rent they are paid. we have seen this in the high street as well. some have been successful. some haven't. these are out of town. i would have thought the rent was less penal than the high street. they are absolutely huge warehouses on the edges of town. some of them are still in the suburbs, not all out on motorways, so they cost a lot to run and people are not going through the doors. what they have said is we wa nt to doors. what they have said is we want to cut the rent and how much we pay the landlord. the landlords have said we are not prepared to see the cut of 60 %. if they put down their foot and say they are not prepared to a cce pt foot and say they are not prepared to accept a cut in the rent, we could see the chain go under. the bosses have said it is at that level that if they can't come to a deal the business could collapse. really
6:09 am
important day for homebase with 250 stores, 11,500 staff, so really important for all staff to find out what happens to their future and whether the business can keep going, and it will remain on some industrial parks and high streets around the country. ok, thank you. a new treatment which could help thousands of people with severe asthma is to be offered more widely on the nhs. the procedure uses radio waves to melt muscle tissue in the lungs, which restricts breathing in asthma sufferers. at the moment, the treatment can only be offered to adults. the charity, asthma uk, describes the procedure as lifechanging. stars from the world of music have marked the life of aretha franklin in a tribute concert in detroit, ahead of her funeral later today. stars such as gladys knight, the four tops and dee dee bridgewater, performed to an audience of 5,000 on the city's waterfront last night.
6:10 am
the queen of soul will be buried this afternoon. at 250 miles above the earth, and a speed of five miles a second, a two—millimetre sized hole can cause a world of problems. we are looking at this? yes. so an astronaut on the international space station has come up with a low—tech solution to a worrying loss of air pressure. the crew has been dealing with a leak, most likely caused by a collision with a fragment from a meteorite. german astronaut alexander gerst identified the two—millimetre problem by pressing his finger over the hole. nasa says that, for now, it's been covered with thermo—resistant tape. mission control says the crew of six is in no danger. so, stick yourfinger so, stick your finger over the whole. thermo-resistant tape, that is just gaffer tape, isn't it? laughter. forget the down on one knee at the eiffel tower,
6:11 am
or in front of the trevi fountain, this marriage proposal was ‘udderly‘ romantic. 0h, oh, yes. aberdeenshire farmer, chris gospel, enlisted the help of his cow, curlytop, to pop the question to his girlfriend eilidh. the couple, who have been together for about three years, say they will look into featuring curlytop on their special day. do you reckon curlytop will be the ring bearer? i have no idea. it is creative. it is creative. our love romance and curlytop. .. really want it to go down the aisle as the milking maid of honour? it could be messy as well. i hadn't thought of that, all sorts of chaos coming sooi'i. that, all sorts of chaos coming soon. have you that, all sorts of chaos coming $0011. have you ever that, all sorts of chaos coming soon. have you ever dressed as a cow? yes, of course, the first nativity i was in, aged five, i
6:12 am
wanted the lead role asjoseph, but no, iwas wanted the lead role asjoseph, but no, i was a cow. i am sure that you we re no, i was a cow. i am sure that you were a great one, anyway. it was a moving experience. you are the only person we could have asked, no other colleague, but you... i don't know what that says, really. cricket, meltdown? and so you turn to the youngest player in the team to rescue england. amazing, only 20—year—old sam curran. sometimes you don't have any fear. we have seen so many you don't have any fear. we have seen so many batting collapses, haven't we ? sam curran is just 20 years old and is playing primarily as a bowler, but it was, his runs with the bat, which saved england from a miserable first innings yesterday. after another batting collapse left them on 86 for six, until curran made 78, with the lower order, to take them to 246 all out. so much more respectable. they'll want him to take some early wickets when they start again in southampton this morning. england 2—1 up in the series so far.
6:13 am
celtic and rangers have made it into today's draw for the group stage of the europa league, but burnley‘s european adventure is over. they were beaten 4—2 on aggregate by greek side olympiacos. it's been billed as a grudge match in newport tonight, as wales and england's women meet, with a place at the world cup at stake. it finished goal—less in their earlier qualifier. whoever wins tonight will be assured of a spot in france next year. scotland can also still qualify after beating switzerland last night. caroline wozniacki has been knocked out of the us open. the dane was the highest remaining seed but was beaten by lesia tsurenko overnight in new york 6—4, 6—2. more sport in a moment. first, some of the other pages. yes, we will take a look at the papers now. in the daily express, the home secretary sajid javid has made a pledge that brexit "will give us back our borders". one of the famous phrases amongst
6:14 am
the campaign is ahead of the referendum, of course. the front page of the paper leads with his comments, including him stating that free movement will end once we leave the eu. the collapse of payday loan giant wonga is on today's guardian front page. i know that ben is going to talk about that as well. the company announced on thursday that it was going into administration after a huge wave of compensation claims against it. the paper says the collapse leaves 200,000 customers still owing more than £400 million in short—term loans. the times is leading on the resignation of labour mp frank field. we will talk to him later in the programme at around 7:30am. the paper says he left in a "cry of desperation". he has told the paper that "the final straw" was earlier this week when jonathan sacks compared mr corbyn's comments on british zionists to the "rivers of blood" speech by enoch powell. and, finally, the daily telegraph is also leading on the birkenhead mp. the paper quotes frank field as saying: "corbyn's labour has become a force for anti—semitism". the paper also reports he says "nothing substantive" has been done to address antisemitism within the party. big story about wonga. it is on all
6:15 am
the front pages of the financial papers. we have talked about how it came under criticism for skyhigh interest rates, the tactics it uses to get money from people. the front of the telegraph business section calls it immoral. urging administrators to make sure that customers were put first in the queue for protection. but we should also remember, it is easy to overlook that for a lot of people who used wonga's services, it was a really valuable service. even with those skyhigh interest rates it could have been cheaper than taking out a bank loan or people with bad credit history. so big questions about what it means for people who did rely on firms like wonga. but
6:16 am
the picture there next to it, i want to show you, is a large sized driveable car made entirely of lego. it goes about 20 miles an hour. 13,000 hours to construct. is that the steering wheel? this picture is probably better. it was unveiled and driven around the circuit ahead of the italian grand prix. it has over 2000 pages in it. 4000 years. it weighs1.5 2000 pages in it. 4000 years. it weighs 1.5 tons. imagine if it crashes, the reconstruction of putting it back together. crashes, the reconstruction of putting it back togetherlj crashes, the reconstruction of putting it back together. i would love that at our current age, never mind my 16—year—old self. love that at our current age, never mind my 16-year-old self. the back

pages are dominated by cristiano ronaldo. the former manchester united star is coming back to face jose mourinho in the champions league, atjuventus against manchester united. how much should your boss know about you? would you be happy for him to know what film you saw at the cinema? would you like him to know your dog ‘s name? your ice cream, how many you have eaten? you would be all right in the england's football team. phil neville said that to understand how his plays kicking this though all about them. in other words, just chatting to them. yes, on social media and stuff like that. not face—to—face? if my boss sent me a text asking what cinema i saw, with who and what ice cream you had. can

trains will hopefully run later this year. this space enclosed is designed to evoke the idea of inside a ship. this was a big trading area and the plants and the trees here come from the countries that used to send us goods that were used to buy goods from. we will learn more about that through the programme. the imported business of the friday and weekend whether to get through. it is actually start this morning. the highlands in scotland have fallen close to freezing but we have plenty of fine weather on the way today. we ta ke of fine weather on the way today. we take a look at the big picture. high—pressure which has just nosed in across the uk. there is a weather front coming into the west and the further west you are will ring further west you are will ring further cloud and a chance of patchy rain. to take a look at —— at things. a lot of sunshine to start today, even though it is actually start. there will be a bit of cloud building here and there as we go
6:21 am
through today. there mayjust be a shower somewhere, east anglia, south—east england. don't be surprised if you encounter one of those. that weather front of the rest —— west is starting to bring cloud to the isles austerely —— isles of scilly. low 20s, tariq —— a degree or so higher than yesterday. into tonight the apple macleod spilling into scotland, northern ireland, wales, western england, that it means it would be nowhere near as chile to date as it was last night. we still have clear spells across eastern parts of england and here we will see temperatures dipping into single figures of. that ta kes dipping into single figures of. that takes us on to the start of the weekend and it is an east—west split for tomorrow. lot of cloud that much of scotland, northern ireland, wales, western england and there will be patchy rain and drizzle. is ita will be patchy rain and drizzle. is it a clearer skies across the lives, south—east anglia. high temperatures but again it will be a degree or so
6:22 am
warm across much of the uk whether you have cloud or whether you have such i. for part two of the weekend on sunday, we still have a lot of cloud to the north and west and hopefully it will start to brighten up hopefully it will start to brighten upa hopefully it will start to brighten up a little bit as you go through the day, another weather system will bring some heavier burst of rain towards north of scotland and northern ireland late in the day. sunny skies across the midlands, east and south—east england where temperatures are getting closer to the mid— 20s. that is that warming up the mid— 20s. that is that warming up trend through the weekend on its way and it looks even water —— warmer at the start of next week. that is how you with reshaping up. temperatures in the right direction but don't expect clear blue skies everywhere this weekend. but don't expect clear blue skies everywhere this weekendm but don't expect clear blue skies everywhere this weekend. itjust looks absolutely lovely, you can get lost it is so dense. it is 23 minutes past six. let's get more on the new treatment for people suffering from severe asthma, which is to be made more
6:23 am
widely available on the nhs. the procedure melts away excess muscle tissue in the lungs, making breathing easier. let's discuss this with doctor fari ahmad, who's a gp. it sounds all a bit severe. i am assuming it is for those asthma sufferers who are severe sufferers. how does this work? about 9596 of people with asthma do not have severe asthma, so it is a small gi’oup severe asthma, so it is a small group of people with asthma. their asthma doesn't respond the normal way to treatment and it, the normal things we think will trigger off a problem with your breeding. it doesn't quite apply to them. so asthma, people who have asthma, your airways tighten up to a variety of triggers. sometimes it can be poland, sometimes it can be the temperature and there are drugs and things that we knew that open up the airway. that is normal asthma. like
6:24 am
inhalers? yes, different types of inhalers? yes, different types of inhalers or tablets. people with severe asthma, what tends to happen to them is that they are at asthma doesn't respond in the same way to treatment. over a period of time the muscle on the tubes that go down to your lungs thickens up, it tightens up. said their breathing then becomes progressively harder. so this is a treatment that basically some of the muscle gets burnt away in this procedure. and it should open up the airways little more. they still probably need to take treatments but it should make life easierfor treatments but it should make life easier for them. we are just seeing pictures of this new treatment. how could this change people with severe asthma's life then? has been a big celebration that this can make a big difference. it depends on picking
6:25 am
the right people. so it wouldn't necessarily work for everybody and i think this is where having a good understanding of your patient and their condition. for the right people it looks like the trials they have done, it looks like it has improved their quality of life and help reduce the number of times they have had to go into hospital. it is not a treatment which has been around for a long time. we don't what the long—term implications of it are. there are still a few caveats when people are cautioned about how often do use it. they say it is available for those over the age of 18 at the moment. what about children who could then affect? or is this too severe a treatment? part of it would depend on the actual, the type of asthma the children have. severe asthma, this condition tends to develop over a period of time. i guess it would depend on the state that they are in. i think that as people use it more and do more of
6:26 am
it and they understand the benefits from it, that might be something they can look at. how easy is it to recommend that somebody has this treatment? family comes to you, this is getting ridiculous, my child is suffering at school, how easy is it for you to recommend that? probably, i would hope that if your asthma is that bad you are under the care of a respiratory team. a consultant, they would be the people to help make that decision to understand the impact it is having on new. there are test the mac and things they can tell you how the one is puncturing, but the impact on others' lives, those who can not exercise, go out, life is very restricted because of this. this could be life changing, thank you very much for talking to us. time is 27 minutes past six. the first time i went to the pool was three weeks ago. really? they have

of the main news, but have you ever had leaked, not in this sense, do you know what, i won't even try to attempt it. go on, because i was enjoying that. you are in a situation where it is hard to know what to do, it is because this has happened in space, right, not a human leak, like, a mechanical leak. at 250 miles above the earth, and a speed of five miles a second, that's fast, a two—millimetre sized hole can cause a world of problems. iamjust i am just wondering, you know, what you would do? so an astronaut on the international space station has come up with a low—tech solution to a worrying loss of air pressure. well, you asked me what i would do andi well, you asked me what i would do and i would do exactly what this astronaut has done. put your finger over the whole. then i would find
6:36 am
really strong sticky tape and stick it over it —— hole. that is all i would know to do. we think of space as super high—tech. the astronauts said that he just put his finger over the pole until someone found some thermo—resistant tape, some gaffer tape, to cover it up and now they are no longer in danger.“ gaffer tape, to cover it up and now they are no longer in danger. if you don't know what gaffer tape is, it is just don't know what gaffer tape is, it isjust thick don't know what gaffer tape is, it is just thick tape. everyone don't know what gaffer tape is, it isjust thick tape. everyone knows what gaffer tape is. builders and plumbers use it. i didn't know what it was until i was here. what would you use it for in the media sense? taping down the wires and cables! here we go, save us, mike, but don't tell us what we use —— you use gaffer tape for! how can you put your finger on the hole when you are floating in space? someone holding you down. speaking of papering over

the cracks, that's exactly what 20—year—old sam curran did for england. six years younger than any other player. england will be looking for a better start that they had yesterday, to the fourth test against india in southampton. england finished 146 all out and lost their first wicket of the day in just the third over. keatonjennings completely caught out by the indian bowlers, as were pretty much the rest of the england batsmen. their top order collapsing once again this summer. ben stokes struggling too. it was only sam curran who managed to fight back, scoring 78. india resume this morning 19 without loss. we worry about the end result. we managed to 100 and 46. it is a decent score now. it is a massive score for us going into tomorrow

with a bit of momentum. fingers crossed we can hold on. both celtic and rangers have qualified for the europa league group stages. celtic beat suduva, while a draw was enough for rangers against ufa of lithuania. burnley, however, are out. they needed to overturn a 3—1 deficit in from the first leg against greek side olympiacos, and could only manage a 1—1 draw at turf moor. that sends them out. do you remember the england world cup, the waistcoat? gareth southgate, yes. next, switzerland, at the new uefa chat the is competition for the nations as well. —— champions competition for the nations as well. england manager gareth southgate says the pool of players to pick from is getting smaller and smaller, and that he may need to look to the championship for homegrown talent. there is some very good talent! i am going tomorrow. oh, i can't go. you can come with me. oh, i might. is it
6:39 am
oui’ can come with me. oh, i might. is it our date? oh, what am i? you can come as well. it comes as he named his first england squad since the world cup, with a recall for manchester united left back luke shaw. england have matches against spain and switzerland next month, but the question is, has gareth southgate got his waistcoast ready after the world cup? not sure i will ever wear a waistcoat again frankly. we only have one option incidentally with the current sponsorship agreement. i'll make a decision depending on the weather as to what i wear. scotland's chance of making it to the women's world cup in france next year is out of their own hands after they could only beat switzerland 2—1. they needed a two goal margin of victory and, despite going 2—0 up inside five minutes in glasgow, they conceded soon after and couldn't grab another. they now need a win in albania on tuesday and hope other results go their way. wales and england meet tonight.
6:40 am
the winners of the match will automatically qualifier for the tournament next year, with the reverse fixture finishing goalless. it starts tonight. indeed, this evening. you can follow the game across the bbc with live coverage on bbc two starts from 7.30pm from rodney parade. i , lots of tennis to get through and a cracking tennis story to end with. first of all: caroline wozniacki has been knocked out of the us open. the dane was the highest remaining seed but was beaten by lesia tsurenko overnight in new york 6—4, 6—2. no such problems for maria sharapova. the number 22 seed is through to the third round after beating sorana cirstea 7—5, 6—2. novak djokovic is through to the third round after beating he will play richard gaquet next. roger federer eased through to the second —— gasquet. he was almost toying with his opponent at times during their second round match.
6:41 am
he'll face enigmatic australian nick kygios next. he'll face enigmatic australian nick kyrgios next. the us tennis association is looking into kyrgios's win over pierre—hughes herbert after the umpire got down from his chair and encouraged the australian to try harder. he was losing by a set and a break at the time. he lostjust six more games in the match. there is a lot of controversy over this. aru sure he was doing that? if you turn up the sound, you can hear what the umpire is saying to nick kyrgios —— are you sure. what the umpire is saying to nick kyrgios -- are you sure. what? is the behaviour? the umpire says he was worried that nick kyrgios had a medical condition and needed treatment, so he got down to find out what the problem was, and sometimes they can accuse the plea of not trying enough, so he said "i know that it is a new, i want to help you, try harder" and his opponent herbert says the referee needs punishment, but nick kyrgios
6:42 am
said it made no difference whatsoever, it was in the umpire, he just managed to turn it around himself. you can see it in two ways, come on, this isn't you, as in, are you injured? yes, they will have to listen again and again to the coverage. can i just listen again and again to the coverage. can ijust check, did you say there is a tennis player called tennys? yes, tennys sandgren, he was born into it. and interesting with nick kyrgios, because of his usage of language and temper tantrums. yes, absolutely. the umpire must know that there was some history, and he is exciting and enigmatic, so if he isn't in the right mood... sorry, for the private conversation. nothing is private. it was the lack of invitation. i shouldn't encourage you. it is 6:43am and we are going back
6:43 am
to one of the stories we have been talking about throughout the news. payday lender wonga has filed for administration. ben's been looking into what this means for the business and its customers. there are lots of different angles to this story. yes, people criticise them for the high interest rates, by people came to rely on it to get to the next payday, hence their name, payday lenders. at its height it was the uk's biggest payday lender but a clampdown on short—term lending has really hurt the business and led to a whole lot of compensation claims. yesterday it all proved too much for wonga and it called in the administrator saying it couldn't afford to pay its own bills anymore. so what does this all mean for people wanting quick credit? sarah—jayne clifton is from thejubilee debt campaign charity. so, sarah—jayne, nice to see you, what to you make of it, you heard the news, there was a lot of criticism of not just the news, there was a lot of criticism of notjust wonga but it was the most famous, what have you
6:44 am
made of this? we understand why people are celebrating. wonga's business model was based on preying on people with little work hard for people's ability to repay credit, but also at the same time there are lots of other rip—off lenders, lots of payday loan companies. we see similar irresponsible practices not just with payday loans, with rent to own, with bright house, even on high street house with credit cards, and wonga's loans will have to be bought up, people will have to pay the debts, and the fundamental problem is that the economy is being kept afloat by credit, and there are too many people who are not earning enough money to make ends meet and the poorest people pay the highest price for that. you would say that there is a problem in the system, there is a problem in the system, the firms exist in the first place, and we've heard from a lot of people
6:45 am
that really did rely on firms like wonga to get through, maybe it was a water bill, electricity bill, without wonga they would have faced being locked out of their house or lost electricity or water, they were valuable for those who needed them. sure, that's true. the problem is there are no other affordable credit options out there and the government doesn't have options for providing them. some people living in areas where there is a credit union or enterprise but they are slashing theircare grants, enterprise but they are slashing their care grants, which supported people in those situations, now the only choice people have is to go to high cost lenders, which will continue to exist. that is what i wa nted continue to exist. that is what i wanted to ask. if the book in that position have a poor credit rating, they might need 80,000 to tide them over, where do they get that? —— £50. they don't have a. there are exciting initiatives. the actor
6:46 am
michael —— michael sheen has introduced an example to extend poor credit. not the lack of alternatives but that there is this other credit out there. we really want to see the financial conduct authority use the power it has an actually fulfil its duty to protect households. the cap currently exist on payday loans across all forms of credit to stop this rip—off lending and predatory practices. if somebody has a loan from them, which they right now? they will have to keep paying it. they will have to keep paying it. the loans get sold on. we ask anybody with a debt upon to seek help as quick as they can. good advice. thanks for explaining all of that. really interesting. two sides to every coin, clearly in this case a lot of people relied on it but criticism as well of those
6:47 am

6:59 am
but generally speaking, quite a decent day. temperatures on the rise, looking at highs of 23 degrees celsius. but sunday is even warmer and it may be that we reach 25, 26 degrees celsius in some spots. really, a decent weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning.

welcome to breakfast, with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. our headlines today: the number of over—65s needing round—the—clock care expected to rise by a third in the next 20 years, sparking fears for social care in england. an arrest in the case of the mother and her daughter murdered in solihull on monday. a 21—year—old man is held by police. the lights go out on halogen bulbs. a ban on the sale of the cheaper, but energy—draining, lightbulbs comes into force this weekend. i will explain what that means. another batting collapse from england, but another impressive display from sam curran, who rescues them, and they now need early wickets against india this morning. more dancing from the pm as she demonstates new moves

on her visit to kenya. good morning, from london, where we have found an oasis of tranquillity, there are planes overhead and tower blocks around us, but this is a lovely roof garden above the crossrail canary lovely roof garden above the crossrail ca nary wharf station, lovely roof garden above the crossrail canary wharf station, and it isa crossrail canary wharf station, and it is a chilly start this morning across the uk, it will warm up, not sunshine everywhere, and i have all your weather details, plus more about this place, on the way. it's friday, the 31st of august. our top story: there's a warning that the care system in england is at breaking point, as a new study predicts that more than a million over 65s will need round—the—clock care in the next 20 years. the authors of the report in the lancet warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a long—term solution. here's our social affairs correspondent alison holt. we are living longer and more of us will need help in our old age. today's research spells out the pressures that brings. the number of people in their mid—80s with complex health
7:02 am
problems who need 24—hour a day support will double within two decades. the researchers calculate that by 2035 there will be nearly half a million people aged 85 and over who need round—the—clock care. overall in the 65 plus age group, more than 1 million will require that high level of support. and the report warns health and care services will have to adapt, because families will struggle. it is going to be more difficult forfamilies, because women are the predominant carers, women are having to work longer, they are taking retirement later. and just at that age they will have maybe an 85—year—old parent who they will have to care for. and sometimes two parents that they will have to care for. the government says it will set out its plans for the future funding of care services this autumn
7:03 am
and that it aims to meet the challenge of a growing ageing population head on. alison holt, bbc news. police have arrested a man in connection with the fatal stabbings of two women in solihull. raneem oudeh and her mother khaola saleem were attacked on bank holiday monday. a 21—year—old man was detained in the sparkhill area of birmingham. tom burridge reports. this video posted on facebook appears to show the 21—year—old man arrested late last night on a residential street in the sparkhill area of birmingham. on monday police issued this photo of janbaz tarin. he was wanted in connection with a double murder in a quiet cul—de—sac in solihull. two women were stabbed to death here in the early hours of monday morning. one of the victims was janbaz tarin's ex—girlfriend raneem oudeh. the other, her mother,
7:04 am
49—year—old khaloa saleem. we know oudeh made a number of 999 calls on the evening she was killed. she was on the phone to police when she was stabbed. an ally ofjeremy corbyn has accused the veteran labour mp frank field of making grotesque slurs, after he resigned from the parliamentary party because of the leadership's stance on anti—semitism. meanwhile, in an article in his local paper, mr field urges the labour leadership to end what he calls its racist toleration of anti—semitism. let's speak to our political correspondent chris mason. what has the reaction been to this resignation? morning. the reaction quite striking, exposing the cracks and the canyon of disagreement within the labour party. sometimes
7:05 am
people pop on the tv and talk about these things and you think, yes, speaking to people privately, it doesn't add up to much. contrast two quotes, one from jeremy corbyn last night, 12 words, one sentence, not one syllable regretting the parting of frank field. jeremy corbyn thank him for his services to the labour party. tom watson, deputy leader of the labour party, says it is a serious loss, i deeply regret the decision, reflecting the divisions in the party, it is a major wake—up call. we will speak with frank field a little later in the programme, in 20 minutes, while i have you, though, another key political story, iimagine you though, another key political story, i imagine you don't often comment on people's dancing, but the prime minister has been dancing again in kenya this time, is this a publicity thing that she is doing? my dancing
7:06 am
and analysis is highly and regularly sought after and it is good to be able to enlighten you as an irish dance and naga on strictly, so here is theresa may doing her thing for the second time on this african trip she has been on this week, getting a bitjiggy with it, and more enthusiastic this time rather than last time, and more enthusiastic than those around her, and i say hats off to her, she is a a lot better than i would be able to manage, so i say hats off to her, what can you do in those situations? you have to give it bust some moves. she is definitely giving it a go, as i think you are, or i don't know if you need some help. laughter. 0h, you need some help. laughter. oh, dear. just stay there for that. keep going! look at his faith! --
7:07 am
face! serious political correspondent, chris mason, thank you. we'll be speaking to frank field at 7:30am. lots of news coming through in the world of business and concerns about colla pse world of business and concerns about collapse of sales as well. yes, the biggie, homebase, in another chapter, make or break as far as its future is concerned. it has its crunch meeting with landlords and what they want to do is come to a deal to cut how much it paysin is come to a deal to cut how much it pays in rent buy as much as 50 or 60%. it is pretty substantial. the landlords say they are not happy. as far as homebase is concerned, they say if they don't agree then the business could go bust. that is one thing they are dealing with today. it is an issue for them, affecting 11,500 staff at 250 stores, and it
7:08 am
is another chapter in the difficult retail sector, with others facing company retail sector, with others facing com pa ny volu nta ry retail sector, with others facing company voluntary arrangements, cutting deals, because a staggering statistic is 70% of homebase outlets don't make money, so they want to shut a number of them with detrimental effects for the staff who work there. we have had some news just come through. who work there. we have had some newsjust come through. yes, just coming in. i am newsjust come through. yes, just coming in. iam looking newsjust come through. yes, just coming in. i am looking at this at the same time, this is really surprising, costa concordia chain, selling itself to coca—cola, they will by them for £3 million —— £3 billion. so, hold on, costa is selling its self? yes, whitbread,
7:09 am
which owns pub chains and hotels, and the travel business, separated costa from a separate organisation and at the time they said it was because it was such a different business to the rest of it that it would do better to have its own board and management, its own strategy not to be part of a bigger organisation, well, it starts to look suspiciously familiar when a couple of months down the line they say the reason we did that was to sell ourselves to coca—cola and you can see it on the screen that they are going to buy them for what is valued at 3.9 billion pounds, and the boss of whitbread says great news for shareholders and recognises the value they have created. interesting to see what they do. yes, trying to get hold of the network, hundreds of stores around the country, lucrative locations like motorway service stations, really good network, and you might see them come together, a coffee and a coca—cola. see them come together, a coffee and
7:10 am
a coca-cola. laughter. there is a caffeine hit! thank you very much, ben. a new treatment which could help thousands of people with severe asthma is to be offered more widely on the nhs. the charity, asthma uk, describes the procedure as lifechanging. the procedure uses radio waves to melt muscle tissue in the lungs, which restricts breathing in asthma sufferers. at the moment, the treatment can only be offered to adults. it wouldn't work for everybody and this is where having a good understanding of your patient and your condition. i think for the right people it looks like it has improved their quality of life. it has helped reduce the number of time is they have had to go to hospital. it is not a treatment that has been around for a long time. we don't know the long—term implications.
7:11 am
there are still a few caveats. people are cautious about how often they will use it. stars from the world of music have marked the life of aretha franklin in a tribute concert in detroit, ahead of her funeral later today. stars such as the four tops and gladys knight performed to an audience of 5,000 on the city's waterfront last night. the queen of soul will be buried this afternoon. now, here is a question for you, that i am sure not many of you have thought about. how do you fix a leak in space, 250 miles above the earth, and at a speed of five miles a second? an astronaut on the international space station has come up with a simple solution to a worrying loss of air pressure. the crew had been dealing with a leak, probably caused by a collision with a meteorite fragment. german astronaut alexander gerst identified the two—millimetre problem by pressing his finger over the hole. this, that classic one!
7:12 am
nasa says that, for now, it's been covered with thermo—resistant tape —so — so they have put some sticky tape over this. and the crew of six is in no danger. the time now is seven. the number of elderly people needing round—the—clock care will almost double in england over the next 20 years according to a new study published in the lancet. by 2038 it says there will be nearly half—a—million people aged 85 and over who'll need 24—hour care. among over—65s, more than one million will require that same high level of support. the report says this means health and care services will have to adapt because families will struggle. and its authors warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a sustainable solution. let's talk to professor martin green from the charity, care england, which represents
7:13 am
independent care providers. thank you very much forjoining us, professor green. as i was reading out the statistics, i thought, this is really grim, not something to look forward to, how can you make me feel better? the first thing to say isi feel better? the first thing to say is i think the statistics are very clear. what we can do is to start planning for it. we need to start planning for it. we need to start planning for it. we need to start planning for a significant increase in the number of people in need of ca re in the number of people in need of care and support. the statistics in themselves can be grim. it is the response to them that will lead to success or failure response to them that will lead to success orfailure in response to them that will lead to success or failure in this area. wash with the response be? we have to have a long—term government led response about social care. we talk endlessly about the nhs. social care is equally important. we are waiting for a green paper from is equally important. we are waiting for a green paperfrom the government. we have waited 20 years to get this result. it was 20 years
7:14 am
ago that tony blair asked lord sullivan to find a solution to long—term care. in the subsequent yea rs we have long—term care. in the subsequent years we have had several different commissions. we have had their care act which was paused by the government. what has happened today is professorjago gave this very clear reminder that a crisis is looming and the only way to deal with it is to be proactive and find a long—term solution to the needs of people. so what are you saving to the government, what advice are you providing the government? we have been asking the government to identify how they are going to plug the current gap in social care. we need about £3 billion in social care to keep the show on the road. then what we need is a green paper, which needs to be quite radical, because we won't only face the challenge of the needs of older people and other people who need care and support, such as people with learning
7:15 am
disabilities, we will have a challenge about finding staff to support them, so we have to have a green paper that looks at what technology is going to do to enable us technology is going to do to enable us to work smarter, rather than harder, we have to look at career pathways across health and social ca re pathways across health and social care so that we have a workforce thatis care so that we have a workforce that is able to seamlessly go—betweens two systems just as citizens do. what does a green paper do, how will it change my life, this green paper being published? the green paper being published? the green paper being published? the green paper will only change your life when it is delivered in policy, this is part of the problem, we have politicians who think an announcement is delivery. what we need is a green paper that sets out a clear plan which sets timescales, which has budgets and clear success criteria is, and then they need to start implementing it. the time for talking has been the last 20 years. the time for acting is now. we have to have government leading the agenda. the department of health and
7:16 am
social care says that by 2023, because of the long—term plan for the nhs, it will receive £20 billion a year more than it currently does. and i know the numbers, it is easy in this position to pick them out and say, look, it is or isn't enough, we can go back and forth. there is only so much money. that is the problem that the social care and health—care system is facing. if thatis health—care system is facing. if that is how much money there is, what more can you ask for? well i think we have got to rear portion some of the money and we have to realise one of the challenges of the 21st century is long—term conditions of. we cannot have a situation where we constantly pour money into the nhs but don't support social care. we saw last winter the issue around delayed discharge and that was around the fa ct discharge and that was around the fact that there wasn't a social care provision together to take people out of hospital and give them support services in the community. sort we have got to have is a
7:17 am
radical review of how we spend the money that we have got in the system. so i appreciate what you are saying, that actually we could all endlessly ask for more money, but i think what we are firstly got to do is look at how we are spending our current allocation and see whether or not we are getting best value. professor martin green, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. it is looking lovely in some parts of the uk this morning. that is the scene outside of our studio this morning. you might have noticed in the bottom left—hand corner, there is a rather large cobweb. i sent mike out there to clea n cobweb. i sent mike out there to clean it earlier. there we are. that did nothing. still looks lovely. let's see what the scene is in london in westminster. another glorious morning. nick is amongst the greenery there. tell us where you are and what it will be like this weekend. the foliage. i am
7:18 am
amongst the greenery —— greenery of the crossrail roof garden. plenty of blue sky above me. this enclosed spaceis blue sky above me. this enclosed space is about 300 metres and is designed to evoke the interior of a ship. is part of london was a big trading area, now it city blocks. in the old days this was an area where lots of goods around world came into london. the plants and trees he represented all the different countries where they used to come in to london. looking lovely, feeling a bit chilly first thing this morning and that is notjust here, but across the uk. 20 of sunshine. temperatures will warm up on a dry day to come. and area of high pressure a cross day to come. and area of high pressure across the uk. there is cloud increasing across western parts, as the weather system edges in. the further west you are, increasing chance that you may see patchy rain later in the day. after that sunny start, some cloud builds.
7:19 am
you may actually find an isolated shower, east anglia and south—east england, few and far between, look at the west, you see that cloud increasing. it is the western isles in scotland, parts of northern ireland to the isles of scilly and cornwall, you may see a bit of patchy drizzle. for the temperatures today, they are creeping upwards. a degree or so higher. high teens, a few spots in the low 20s. into tonight it won't be as chilly. the reason why you have that cloud spilling across the moors of scotland, a chance of seeing patchy light rain or drizzle. we keep a clearer skies across the midlands, south—east england, so it will dip into single figures but not as chilly as the nightjust on. some of us chilly as the nightjust on. some of us quite warm on saturday morning but again we have that cloud to the north—west. cloudier skies across scotland, northern ireland, wales and the chance of seeing light rain
7:20 am
and the chance of seeing light rain and drizzle, but that possibility is there where you are. much of the midlands into norse —— yorkshire, south—east england, seeing sunshine and temperatures are creeping up a little bit more. low 20s on saturday, will they have cloud or sunshine? part two of the week and on sunday, those cloudy areas to the north and west might write up, of the sunshine still across the eastern parts of england. bit of rain into northwest scotland, eastern ireland and the later we are it turns more heavier. is temperatures are creeping up, warming trend of this weekend. sunshine towards the east and south—east of england, getting into the mid— 20s as we warm up. we got very exciting earlier on because we we re very exciting earlier on because we were talking about the fact that is quite a bit of wildlife. in fact, i have found some slugs for you. this will be the highlight of your
7:21 am
morning here. to back away from the camera, this is where you got to be. i have got a couple here, they are very different, interested to know if anyone can identify out types of slugs is. the one next to this logic you touched, was like a chestnut mushroom. i can guarantee you it is live. —— a live. —— alive. the other one is in a desperate attempt to get off. we are temporarily relocating these. i am trying to shield them, i don't want the black birds to know where they are. steffe, you are saying they get excited if you give them a bit of beer. i am not sure i will find here at the time of this morning. how do you know they were a couple? well, they are very close. they seem very friendly. let's leave them to it
7:22 am
then. slug it news. ellie simmonds, hannah cockroft and max whitlock are some of the uk's best athletes and they've all participated in england's national school games. the games were designed to find the next generation of sporting talent. ricky boleto is in loughborough where this year's finals are getting under way this morning. it looks lovely there, ricky. yes. and beautiful sunny morning here. welcome to the 2018 school games, here at loughborough university. this is like a mini olympics, or a mock olympics because it is present at the young elite sports stars get ready for what it would be like to appear at the olympics or any other big competition like the commonwealth games. over the course

7:24 am
cement the kinghorn. think you so much forjoining us. —— cement the. you are the scottish champion wheelchair ratio and apart —— will wheelchair ratio and apart —— will wheelchair racer, how important is this? really important, especially being such a large scale event, multisport, which is incredible. when you are so focused on your sport you don't often pick a chance to get involved in other sports and meet other people as well. is such a great feeling when you arrive here and you get your kit. i first ever ke pt and you get your kit. i first ever kept was coming to the school games and it is the most important —— most exciting thing. all different events, it is quite scary because there is such a big event. loads of fun, too much fun? too much fun because you are competing and you almost forget that. you learn so much because they do things at night where you can learn about your sport and different sports and you get the athlete mentors. ifound
7:25 am
and different sports and you get the athlete mentors. i found that really exciting, meeting people who are idle. —— idols. katherine grainger is with us this morning. you are the chair of uk sport, how important is this event for you? it is massive. like cement was saying, when you are a young athlete you get ambitious, excited and the benefits of sport. but often it is notjust the skills, but you learn about how to have a long—term career learn about how to have a long—term careerand learn about how to have a long—term career and had to take after yourself, where to take those ambitions next. coming into an event like this where there are multi— laser being educated, you learn so much more within four days then you could learn a cross for years.|j know there are mental health workshops to help young athletes deal with the mental health aspect of sport. why has that become so important lately? it is brilliant it is here at this level because obviously it has become a big talking point over the last 12 and 18 months at a paralympic level,
7:26 am
which is what i do with uk sport. the importance of the athlete's physical and mental well— being are crucial and seeing that this is being set right through down to when young people start off at school level, when they get those skills thenit level, when they get those skills then it will go will all the way back up the chain. we were speaking alison later this morning. something like almost 30 of our sports stars who participated in the rio games we re who participated in the rio games were from the school games. ecosys show how brilliant these guys are and what potential they have for the future. —— it goes to show. absolutely. thanks very much. what a gorgeous morning. some rather lovely light shines on it. it is 7:26 a.m., time to get the news, travel and weather wherever you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news. westminster council is calling for the so—called zombie drug 'spice' to be re—categorised from a class b to a class a substance.
7:27 am
the authority wants the drug to be treated with the same seriousness as heroin and cocaine. the home office says the most recent controls only came into effect in december 2016 and it is monitoring the impact. train passengers are being warned they could face travel disruption for the next three days, due to a strike on south western railways services. members of the rmt union will walk out until sunday night. it's the latest industrial action in the long—running dispute over the role of conductors on driver—only operated trains. cricklewood's nekoda smythe—davis has been selected for the judo world championships in baku next month. the 2017 world championship bronze medallist has moved from london to walsall for her training. after a disappointing rio olympics she's looking to reverse her fortunes over the next two years. i always kind of had tokyo in mind. i was really happy that i qualified for rio and obviously devastated that i couldn't have gone
7:28 am
further in the competition, but that has been definitely been pushing, fuelling me on for this cycle. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on all tube lines this morning. on the trains, as i mentioned earlier there's that industrial action affecting south western railway services. onto the roads and there are the usual queues on blackwall lane northbound towards the blackwall tunnel. you can see traffic building on the camera there. in mansion house, the traffic lights aren't working at queen victoria street at the junction with cannon street. and in norbury, lane one is closed northbound on streatham high road at the junction with colmer road. lets have a check on the weather now with georgina burnett. good morning. it was a fairly mild night last night and with the weather as it is over the next few days, it is almost as if september is not prepared to welcome in autumn. for today, we are seeing a few showers around later on. but a good deal of sunny spells as well. most of the sunshine probably for this morning, certainly a bright start to the day, the cloud around in the afternoon.
7:29 am
we may see some of very isolated showers popping up here and there, but they should be few and far between, many of us getting away with a dry day. temperatures getting up to 22 degress celsius with just a light to south—easterly breeze. as we head through this evening, those showers fade away and we are left with mainly clear skies overnight. temperatures, we are looking at lows between nine and 12 degress celsius, just touching single figures. for tomorrow, again lots of sunny spells, a largely dry day for tomorrow. there will be some more stubborn areas of cloud at times. but generally speaking, quite a decent day. temperatures on the rise, looking at highs of 23 degrees celsius. but sunday is even warmer and it may be that we reach 25, 26 degrees celsius in some spots. really, a decent weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.
7:30 am
plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. just me, there we are, as if! here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the number of over 65s needing round—the—clock care will increase by more than a third in england over the next 20 years, according to a new study. the authors of the report in the lancet, warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a long—term solution. local government officials say it's a sign that the social care system has reached breaking point. the government says reforms will be set out in the autumn. police investigating the murder of a mother and daughter in solihull earlier this week have arrested a 21—year—old man. raneem and her mother khaola saleem were stabbed to death in the street in the early hours of bank holiday monday. police had issued this
7:31 am
photo of janbaz tarin, who was wanted in connection with the deaths, and had put up a reward for information. the uk's biggest coffee chain costa, is to be sold to coca cola in a £3.9 billion deal. that just announced in thatjust announced in the last hour. costa is currently owned by the british pub and restaurant giant whitbread, which also owns premier inn and beefeater. the boss of coca cola says the deal gives it new access to the hot drinks market. there are around 2,400 costa coffee shops in the uk, that's more than double the number of starbucks. a new treatment which could help thousands of people with severe asthma is to be offered more widely on the nhs. the charity, asthma uk, describes the procedure as lifechanging. the procedure uses radio waves to melt muscle tissue in the lungs, which restricts breathing in asthma sufferers. at the moment, the treatment can only be offered to adults. an ally ofjeremy corbyn has accused
7:32 am
the veteran labour mp frank field of making grotesque slurs, after he resigned from the parliamentary party because of the leadership's stance on anti—semitism. a labour spokesperson said that jeremy corbyn thanked mr field for his service to party. frank field joins now from our london newsroom. thank you very much for talking to us thank you very much for talking to us today. you have been a labour mp for over 40 years. why have you decided to leave? two reasons, and they are linked, about intolerance and bullying. lord sacks, the previous chief rabbi, i think went over the top, comparing what is happening to the labour party with the speeches that enoch powell made
7:33 am
on immigration. but it was for me a wake—up call in the sense that we keep saying to thejewish community in britain, who are an integral part of society, you have it wrong, we are not anti semitic, and the group that feels they are targeted keeps saying, we think you are, we feel we are under attack from you. as politicians, we ought to be listening, rather than telling people that they keep getting their perception wrong. and linked to that, again, intolerance, which those who had been acting as anti—semites in the party illustrates, the local bullying going on in my local party. on that the labour party has said this is a historical complaint which has previously been resolved after it was fully investigated in line with
7:34 am
rules and procedures. let me bring it back... can ijust answer that. if they have investigated it, and concluded it is fictitious, they have never told me. i have been writing and copying the chief whip in the commons, saying this is still going on, this is new materialfor you. they are just untruths, the labour party are unknown spokesman to say that. i know that you are meeting the chief whip later.|j spoke with him yesterday. you have spoken to him. can i ask you, you've been at odds with the labour party for some time, and even in your constituency there has been a vote of no confidence about your views on brexit, so are you jumping before you have been made to resign? no, i have been through this before when i was unelected, i wish to be the
7:35 am
labour party candidate at the next election, if not i will be the independent labour candidate and the people who decide that is not a small caucus of 30 people, who voted to deselect me, take the whip from me, but 70,000 electors at birkenhead. i hope, as i believe jeremy will lead us into the next election, it is not true, what you said, that i am a constant critic, it isn't true. i believe he has a right to take us to the next election. he has won two leadership election. he has won two leadership election contests and because of that it election contests and because of thatitis election contests and because of that it is more urgent that we appearasa that it is more urgent that we appear as a party that is the great champion against racism and that we show that we in the labour party do not tolerate bullying and thuggery and that makes us i would have thought, if we can't put our house
7:36 am
in order, that we are fit to run the country if we have dealt with those two issues, and there are others of policy of course, although they will be crafted in the run—up to the general election. these two are crucial issues the party has to decide because i believejeremy will lead us to the next election, it is totally proper to believe that, and the idea this is part of a plot or anything else is simply crazy. so, mr field... it is because i think he will lead us to the next election that this is urgent. you say you have spoken to the chief whip. what have spoken to the chief whip. what have they said? the labour party is that it have they said? the labour party is thatitis have they said? the labour party is that it is not possible to resign from the whip and remain party member? i spoke with him yesterday and said! member? i spoke with him yesterday and said i had been in the party 60 yea rs, and said i had been in the party 60 years, i hope to continue as a party member, and i will sit as an independent labour mp. i obviously hope when the issues are dealt with
7:37 am
that i will be able to seek the whip again. his interpretation is different from others. we will see as time goes on who is actually correct. shouldn't you stand down as an mp completely and have a by—election in your constituency? an mp completely and have a by-election in your constituency? of course, this is another question people are throwing at me from their list of questions. the crucial thing isi list of questions. the crucial thing is i have made this move, which is a big move to make. it is a horrendous move to make, really. it is a valid question, though. can i answer... i have let you answer lots of questions. let me answer your question. over the next few days it is clearly a question i will have to think about. so it is possible? i am not thinking about it now. it is big enough that i have to resign the whip. as things settle down from that, i will obviously make a decision on whether i should have a by—election or not, whether it is
7:38 am
properfor me. i will be in birkenhead. people will talk to me. they will come in the street to see whether they want me to have a by—election or not. whether they want me to have a by-election or not. have you spoken tojeremy by-election or not. have you spoken to jeremy corbyn by-election or not. have you spoken tojeremy corbyn about by-election or not. have you spoken to jeremy corbyn about any by-election or not. have you spoken tojeremy corbyn about any of this? no, not at all. there was a statement issued from his office last night thanking me for my membership of the labour party as though i was resigning from this club. i have actually being in the labour party longer than jeremy corbyn have. anyway, i was grateful for his thanks. no, i haven't. i delivered my letter to the chief whip. he is in charge of the labour mps in the commons. when i spoke to him, he was busy in his constituency, so i spoke to him on the phone. he is in london today and i will speak further today. thank you very much for your time this morning. that was frank field. thank you very much. coming up, we'll get the weather with nick. we are going to talk cricket with mike. what is on your. . . ? i have
7:39 am
been eating ice cream. laughter. ice cream for breakfast. do you normally wear your ice cream?” ice cream for breakfast. do you normally wear your ice cream? i like to get stuck into my ice cream. what is this about? i will explain in a moment. eating ice cream while watching the cricket in southampton, especially when england rely on the young star, sam curran, to rescue them — he is six years younger than them — he is six years younger than the rest of them. i will explain the ice cream in a moment. would you like to get the rest of it from your face? sorry about that, i am a very messy eater. this is the bbc! talking about the cricket 1st: england will be looking for a better start, that they had yesterday, in the fourth test against india in southampton. england finished 246 all out and lost their first wicket of the day in just the third over. keatonjennings completely caught out by the indian bowlers as were pretty much the rest of the england batsmen. their top order collapsing
7:40 am
once again this summer. ben stokes struggling too. it was only sam curran who managed to fight back, scoring 78. india resume this morning 19 without loss. we worry about the end result. we managed 246. it looks a decent score now. it is a massive score for us going into tomorrow with a bit of momentum. fingers crossed we can bowl nicely. both celtic and rangers have qualified for the europa league group stages. celtic beat suduva, while a draw was enough for rangers against ufa of lithuania. but burnley are out. they needed to overturn a 3—1 deficit in from the first leg against greek side olympiacos and could only manage a 1—1 draw at turf moor. it is almost time for england fans to bring out their waistcoats.
7:41 am
england manager gareth southgate says the pool of players to pick from is getting smaller and smaller, and that he may need to look to the championship for homegrown talent. it comes as he named his first england squad since the world cup, with a recall for manchester united left back luke shaw. england have matches against spain and switzerland next month but the question is, has gareth southgate got his waistcoast ready after the world cup? not sure i will ever wear a waistcoat again, frankly. we only have one option, incidentally, with the current sponsorship agreement. i'll make a decision depending on the weather as to what i wear. so he might hang of the waistcoat for good? no, too many people will be upset. yes. scotland's chance of making it to the women's world cup in france next year is out of their own hands after they could only beat switzerland 2—1. they needed a two goal margin of victory, and despite going 2—0 up inside five minutes in glasgow, they conceded soon after and couldn't grab another.
7:42 am
they now need a win in albania on tuesday and hope other results go their way. if you were watching when i was covered in ice cream, this is why, i realised this ice cream was a bad idea under the studio lights, it has melted very quickly. would you like to have a little...? wire? phil neville says he taxeds his players every day and he needs to know when they are even having an ice cream —— why? he wants to know about every facet of his life to understand his players and it was just a good excuse to have an ice cream. where did you get it at this time of the morning? the shop over the road. there isn't a road. it isn't even open yet, is it? it was messy, ok, it was worth it, it was a lovely ice cream, i have to say. meanwhile, england boss phil neville wants to know when his players have an ice cream. he says he texts his players every day to know every facet of their lives —
7:43 am
what film watching, dog's name — how miuch should boss know? england play wales tonight and the winners of the match will automatically qualifier for the tournament next year with the reverse fixture finishing goalless. they're playing at the relatively small ground of rodney parade in newport, a move wales are perfectly happy with. you can follow the game across the bbc with live coverage on bbc two starts from 7.30pm from rodney parade in newport. now, to the tennis, and a controversial story to finish with. caroline wozniacki has been knocked out of the us open. the dane was the highest remaining seed but was beaten by lesia tsurenko overnight in new york 6—4, 6—2. after winning herfirst grand slam in australia earlier this year, she's failed to get beyond the fourth round of all three majors since. no such problems for maria sharapova. the number 22 seed is through to the third round after beating sorana cirstea, 7—5, 6—2. novak djokovic is through to the third round after beating tennys sandgren in four sets. he will play richard gaquet next. roger federer eased through to the second
7:44 am
round with a straight sets win over frenchman benoit paire. he was almost toying with his opponent at times during their second round match. he'll face enigmatic australian nick kygios next. this is what i was talking about a moment ago. the us tennis association is looking into kyrgios's win over pierre—hughes herbert after the umpire got down from his chair and encouraged the australian to try harder. almost moving into a coaching role. he was losing by a set and a break at the time. he lostjust six more games in the match. he said he liked me. i don't know if thatis he said he liked me. i don't know if that is encouragement. he was just telling me this isn't a good look. i know what i was doing wasn't good. i wasn't really listening to him. i knew it wasn't a good look. it didn't help me at all. i don't think he has to go down and ta ke i don't think he has to go down and take the position of a coach, like you can see on the wta tour. yes, i
7:45 am
don't think. i don't know yet if it would have change something. ijust know that he doesn't have to do that. and roger federer said it was wrong for the umpire to get involved, saying, you can do better than this. was he saying that? he was saying that if you listen to the coverage. he says he was checking that nick kyrgios was all right, fearing that he might need medical attention. he must have known people could hear him. you can pick it up and he says he thinks he was concerned with the player's state, but did he take it too far? thank you. social media has been part of most people's lives for around a decade now and in that time it has had a huge impact on our lives. businesses have been launched, and relationships have started and flourished. but it's not all positive. some critics say social media affects the way we communicate with each other, with online bullies and trolls causing anxiety for many users. so could we benefit
7:46 am
from taking a breakfrom it? the royal society for public health thinks so and is launching scroll free september to encourage people to stop using social media for a month. let's talk to the journalist and authorjoanne o'connell, who's cut back on her social media profile. ididn't mean i didn't mean to cut back on the first place, i broke my mobile phone, dropped it in the sink when i was washing up. within seconds, everything was born. i used to use my phone for facebook, twitter, instagram. like most people, i did check it quite frequently. when it had dawned, suddenly i did notice a real difference. what is quite frequently? it is hard to say. that
7:47 am
is part of the problem. one of the reports here says within 15 minutes we are checking out those. reports here says within 15 minutes we are checking out thoselj reports here says within 15 minutes we are checking out those. i would say i was a fairly typical user. some reports say it can be up to five hours a day people spend on their phones. i think itjust doesn't feel like that vickers it is a co nsta nt doesn't feel like that vickers it is a constant interruption and when i gave up for a while, which went on for quite a long while after i broke my phone, i absolutely loved it and i noticed i was sleeping better at night because i was distracted why it. i was generally getting more done because these notifications we re done because these notifications were coming in all the time, you are checking in wanting to get back to people. it was easier to deal with. as we were saying, how often you look at it, it is hard to know. it is second nature. that is part of the robber. you have a child who is
7:48 am
now interested in social media, have you talked to her about it? yeah, i talked to both my kids at that it. having the digital detox, if you can call it that, is really good. i do try and set an example is the i do wa nt try and set an example is the i do want my phone beside my bed any more, i do want to be on social media when i am in the middle of the kids bedtimes or in the park. i can't expect my kids to not have the phones in their bedrooms if i am going to be doing it all the time as well. we do talk about social media, well. we do talk about social media, we talk about what can make you feel great on their. there can be some great, really supportive is about social media, it can be inspiring. there are definite downside is an taking a break in make you assess it to. if the idea of a month is a bit
7:49 am
too much for some people, which it would be. could you do it? funnily enough, icame would be. could you do it? funnily enough, i came off facebook on 2014, the reason why was, when i went on television i was one of those people who had loads of friends, just so i would have a high friend number. it was really brilliant not to be caught up in what everybody else is doing. i think i could do it. caught up in what everybody else is doing. ithinki could do it. could you come off it all? what would you say to someone, with the idea of september being touted. say to someone, with the idea of september being toutedm say to someone, with the idea of september being touted. it isjust taking a break, you don't have too give upfor taking a break, you don't have too give up for the. taking a breakfor anything can be a good way of reassessing. i haven't put everything back on my new phone. when i get my phone that it is
7:50 am

7:55 am
they should last up to 25 years though so should work out the same in the long run. is that include the price of the actual bold? no, but they do cost more and last much longer. —— bulb. they come like this or in this format. the cost may be about £5 to buy, but they costjust under £2 to run. in the longer term they will work out much cheaper. is in their complaints about those that they are not as bright? -- isn't. yes. technology is getting better, they will get better, light up quicker and bejust will get better, light up quicker and be just as will get better, light up quicker and bejust as bright. a lot of people don't like the fact that they are cloudy and frosty. what they
7:56 am
have come up is this one. this is an led filament bulb. it is still energy—efficient and still cost less than £2 per year to run. they are trying to replicate those old—style ones and they are much more energy—efficient and look just like old one. there are these 22. —— these are 22. —— these are too. it's called a compact fluorescent lamp, usually called energy—saving lamps. they often take bit longer to brighten than leds and a lot of people don't like the greeny, cold light they emit. but they are cheap to run and last a long time. those are the options that are available. the compact fluorescent or the led. those are much more expensive, as you pointed out, but they last longer and are cheaper to run. over the life of that bulb it should save you bit of money. run. over the life of that bulb it should save you bit of moneylj never knew so much about lightbulbs and now i know loads of. thanks very

much. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. westminster council is calling for the so—called zombie drug 'spice' to be re—categorised from a class b to a class a substance. the authority wants the drug to be treated with the same seriousness as heroin and cocaine. the home office says the most recent controls only came into effect in december 2016 and it is monitoring the impact. train passengers are being warned they could face travel disruption for the next three days due to a strike on south western railways services. members of the rmt union will walk out until sunday night. it's the latest industrial action in the long—running dispute over the role of conductors on driver—only operated trains. cricklewood's nekoda smythe—davis has been selected
7:58 am
for the judo world championships in baku next month. the 2017 world championship bronze medallist has moved from london to walsall for her training. after a disappointing rio olympics she's looking to reverse her fortunes over the next two years. i always kind of had tokyo in mind. i was really happy that i qualified for rio and obviously devastated that i couldn't have gone further in the competition, but that has been definitely been pushing, fuelling me on for this cycle. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on all tube lines this morning. on the trains, as i mentioned earlier there's that industrial action affecting south western railway services. onto the roads, and there are the usual queues on blackwall lane northbound towards the blackwall tunnel. you can see traffic building on the camera there. in mansion house, the traffic lights aren't working at queen victoria street at the junction with cannon street. and in norbury, lane one is closed northbound on streatham high road at the junction with colmer road. lets have a check on the weather
7:59 am
now with georgina. good morning. it was a fairly mild night last night and with the weather as it is over the next few days, it is almost as if september is not prepared to welcome in autumn. for today, we are seeing a few showers around later on. but a good deal of sunny spells as well. most of the sunshine probably for this morning, certainly a bright start to the day, the cloud around in the afternoon. we may see some of very isolated showers popping up here and there, but they should be few and far between, many of us getting away with a dry day. temperatures getting up to 22 degress celsius with just a light to south—easterly breeze. as we head through this evening, those showers fade away and we are left with mainly clear skies overnight. temperatures, we are looking at lows between nine and 12 degress celsius, just touching single figures. for tomorrow, again lots of sunny spells, a largely dry day for tomorrow.
8:00 am
there will be some more stubborn areas of cloud at times. but generally speaking, quite a decent day. temperatures on the rise, looking at highs of 23 degrees celsius. but sunday is even warmer and it may be that we reach 25, 26 degrees celsius in some spots. really, a decent weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to steph and naga. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern
8:01 am
and naga munchetty. our headlines today: the number of over—65s needing round—the—clock care expected to rise by a third in the next 20 years — sparking fears for social care in england. an arrest in the case of the mother and her daughter murdered in solihull on monday — a 21—year—old man is held by police. coca cola snaps up costa coffee — the uk's biggest coffee chain is sold coca cola for £3.9 billion. i'll have all the details in a moment. another batting collapse from england but another impressive display from sam curran, resuces them and they now need early wickets against india this morning. more dancing from the pm as she demonstates new moves on her visit to kenya. good morning from london, where we
8:02 am
are enjoying the greenery, the foliage of the crossrail place roof garden, plants and trees from all of the world. we are feeling a chill this morning, but plenty of sunshine. it warms up this weekend, some sun and cloud, not everywhere dry. a lot of details. i have all of your weather coming up. it's friday the 31st of august. our top story... there's a warning that the care system in england is at breaking point, as a new study predicts that more than a million over 65s will need round—the—clock care in the next 20 years. the authors of the report in the lancet warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a long—term solution. here's our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. we are living longer and more of us will need help in our old age. today's research spells out the pressures that brings. the number of people in their mid—80s with complex health problems who need 24—hour a day support will double within two decades.
8:03 am
the researchers calculate that by 2035 there will be nearly 500,000 people aged 85 and over who need round—the—clock care. overall, in the 65—plus age group, more than 1 million will require that high level of support. and the report warns health and care services will have to adapt, because families will struggle. it is going to be more difficult forfamilies, because women are the predominant carers, women are having to work longer, they are taking retirement later. and just at that age they will have maybe an 85—year—old parent who they will have to care for. and sometimes two parents that they will have to care for. the government says it will set out its plans for the future funding of care services this autumn and that it aims to meet the challenge of a growing ageing population head on. alison holt, bbc news.
8:04 am
police have arrested a man in connection with the fatal stabbings of two women in solihull. raneem oudeh and her mother khaola saleem were attacked on bank holiday monday. a 21—year—old man was detained in the sparkhill area of birmingham, as tom burridge reports. this video posted on facebook appears to show the 21—year—old man arrested late last night on a residential street in the sparkhill area of birmingham. on monday police issued this photo of janbaz tarin. he was wanted in connection with a double murder in a quiet cul—de—sac in solihull. two women were stabbed to death here in the early hours of monday morning. one of the victims was janbaz tarin's ex—girlfriend, raneem oudeh. the other, her mother, 49—year—old khaloa saleem. we know raneem oudeh made a number of 999 calls on the evening she was killed.
8:05 am
she was on the phone to police when she was stabbed. the former labour mp frank field has told bbc breakfast that he will consider resigning his seat, in order to trigger a by—election in his constituency. he resigned from the parliamentary party yesterday, citing the leadership's stance on anti—semitism. one ally ofjeremy corbyn accused mr field of making "grotesque slurs". let's speak to our political correspondent chris mason. good to see you this morning. steph spoke to frank field earlier, that is when we got hints that he would consider sitting down. what did you make of his comments?” consider sitting down. what did you make of his comments? i thought it was pretty striking that he is considering it. he didn't say they would definitely be a by—election and he would definitely resign the seat, but the fact he is entertaining the idea is quite something, not least because if he
8:06 am
was to go ahead and trigger a by—election, and then stand as an independent candidate, somebody who has been the mp in that part of merseyside since 1979, what a tussle that would be between unofficial labour candidate and frank field, the guy who has personified politics on birkenhead, going back the best pa rt on birkenhead, going back the best part of 40 years. let's have a quick listen to his conversation from 30 minutes ago. it is a big enough step to have to resign the whip. as things settle down from that, i will have a decision on whether to have a by—election and whether it is proper for me. people on birkenhead will come up to me in the street to see if they want me to have a by—election or not. in a statement from his office last night, thanking me for my membership of the labour party, as though i was resigning
8:07 am
from the whist club. but i am grateful for his thanks. what azinger, comparing that statement from the labour leader to us if he was just from the labour leader to us if he wasjust resigning from the labour leader to us if he was just resigning from a club he had been a member of way little while. it was 12 words long, one sentence, and not a single syllable was spent expressing regret at his resignation of the labour whip. jeremy corbyn thanks frank field for his service to the labour party, and that was it. the reaction from the labour party has been interesting, amidst all of the controversy about the anti—semitism row in general? amidst all of the controversy about the anti-semitism row in general? so often, people like me sit in seats like this and talk about divisions in parties, whispers in ears, party
8:08 am
sources and stuff like that. none of that this time. a published quote from jeremy corbyn that i mentioned and a published quote from tom watson, the deputy leader of the party, talking about it being a deep loss for the party, a major wake—up call for the party. right at the very top party of the labour party, divisions in terms of the reaction to mr fields‘ departure. there were those that said he jumped before to mr fields‘ departure. there were those that said hejumped before he was pushed, he was at odds with the party, but i think the division that is exposed as a result is quite interesting. in just is exposed as a result is quite interesting. injust a couple is exposed as a result is quite interesting. in just a couple of weeks, the labour party is gathering for the annual conference, where no doubt these divisions could well be very public display. good to talk to you, thanks for analysing that for us. the diy retailer homebase faces a showdown with landlords today, in a make or break day that could decide its fate. the chain has proposed a rescue plan that involves closing 42 stores, and cutting the rent on others.
8:09 am
but some landlords plan to vote against the deal. the owners of homebase say that without an agreement it‘s very likely that the firm — which has over 11,000 staff — will go into administration. also, we have heard costa coffee is going into new hands. yes, coca-cola is buying the british success story. coffee and coca—cola ? is buying the british success story. coffee and coca-cola? yes, cccc, coffee and coca—cola. they have set up coffee and coca—cola. they have set upa lot coffee and coca—cola. they have set up a lot of stalls overseas, a lot of the convenience machines you get in places like service stations, and they say they have had a good offer, and offer that was too good to refuse. it came from coca—cola, worth £3.9 billion. if you look at
8:10 am
the make—up of costa coffee, by far the make—up of costa coffee, by far the biggest chain in the uk, owned by whitbread, 2400 stores in the uk, nearly 1400 stores around the world, and a thousand of the express machines. they said it is a fair price, coca—cola wants to get its hands on it. a statement from the boss of coca—cola in the us says this is the market they want to get into, it lets them get into the hot beverage market, this is the ideal way to do that. whitbread bought costa in 1995, 23 years ago. they paid £19 million for it. how much? 19 million, and they have sold it for over 3 billion. they now have
8:11 am
1300 stores internationally. from that small business they bought in 1995. thank you to everybody who sent me messages this morning saying how much you hate the word beverage. its such a rubbish word, don‘t you think? i've never thought about it. of all of the things people could have got annoyed about, i didn‘t think it would be beverage. have got annoyed about, i didn‘t think it would be beveragem have got annoyed about, i didn‘t think it would be beverage. it is on my list. but that is the statement. what else is on the list? we haven't got time for that! we will talk about that next time. a new treatment which could help thousands of people with severe asthma is to be offered more widely on the nhs. the charity asthma uk describes the procedure as lifechanging. the procedure uses radio waves to melt muscle tissue in the lungs, which restricts breathing in asthma sufferers. at the moment, the treatment can only be offered to adults. it wouldn‘t work for everybody and this is where having a good understanding of your patient and your condition.
8:12 am
i think for the right people it looks like it has improved their quality of life. it has helped reduce the number of time is they have had to go to hospital. it is not a treatment that has been around for a long time. we don‘t know the long—term implications. there are still a few caveats. people are cautious about how often they will use it. stars from the world of music have marked the life of aretha franklin in a tribute concert in detroit, ahead of her funeral later today. stars such as the four tops and gladys knight performed to an audience of 5,000 on the city‘s waterfront last night. the queen of soul will be buried this afternoon. nick will have the weather in about five minutes, and michael will update us with the sport in about
8:13 am
15. five weeks ago, jack shepherd was found guilty of killing 24—year—old charlotte brown, who died after a speedboat crash on the river thames. but shepherd is on the run and was tried in his absence. despite that, it was announced yesterday that he‘s appealing against his six year prison sentence. charlotte‘s sister katie joins us now. good morning. the last time we spoke was a couple of weeks ago. the end ofjuly. we were talking about the sentencing that was about to happen. you joined us the sofa. you were really appealing for mr shepherd to put his hands up, say where he was and make himself known, to get his punishment. and now you understand, or we have learned, that this appeal is happening. how has it make you feel? we are alljust shocked, really, that somebody who has two wa rra nts really, that somebody who has two warrants out for his arrest and did not turn up to his trial has been
8:14 am
convicted of manslaughter, and is still on the run, and he has somehow managed to contact his legal team and feels like he has the right to appeal against it, even though he is not here. have you been given any indication about whether or not this appeal can go ahead, or what happens next? it is very early stages at the moment. we are waiting to hear from the police what is happening next, really. how are your family? we are all just. .. really. how are your family? we are alljust... it has been a very difficult, long time, nearly three yea rs difficult, long time, nearly three years now, the build—up to the trial. you know, once we got the verdict he wanted, he was found guilty, it was almost like that was going to be that chapter closed on that part of our lives. now it seems to be carrying on, it seems to be
8:15 am
never—ending. to be carrying on, it seems to be never-ending. it feels like justice isn‘t being done, doesn‘t it? never-ending. it feels like justice isn't being done, doesn't mm does. i don‘t understand very much about the legal system, only bits and pieces, but it doesn‘t make sense to us how he can be afforded the rights to be able to appeal, when he is not present, when he has absconded and has been found guilty. were you happy with the sentencing that was initially handed down in the verdict? so, ithink that was initially handed down in the verdict? so, i think we all had faith in thejudge in the verdict? so, i think we all had faith in the judge in the sentence that he gave. no sentences ever going to be enough, and it is not going to be enough, and it is not going to be enough, and it is not going to bring back charlie. we are not going to ever get over that. but the fact that it was guilty, and he got six years, for us, that was a
8:16 am
bit of closure. there is still a lot that we feel that has gone on, him and not turning up, and now on the run, it is still not having an end to it. there is an assumption that jack shepherd is aware of what is going on, obviously he has seen the sentencing, there might be a chance he will be seeing you, or your mum talking and trying to make clear that you feel this isn‘t right. if he was watching now, what would you say? we would ideally like him to hand himself in, and face the consequences, and serve his sentence. that would be the ideal situation. failing that, we would wa nt situation. failing that, we would want the police to find him. can i just ask, another important part of all of this, and what you‘re doing, you are trying to get a petition signed. tell us what that is for?
8:17 am
this tragedy happening in our family really opened our eyes to a big gap in the law regarding private boat use. as a family, we have got a petition, we really need help from the public to get it signed. at the moment we are at 2500 signatures. we need 10,000 for the laws regarding compulsory wearing of life jackets are looking at stricter rules of speed and alcohol limits, because at the moment when a lot of the waterways there is next to no laws on buying a boat, not needing a license, not needing to have any safety training, being able to drink and drive, speed. you want the rules tightened? yes. if you go and google the charlie brown uk petition, you can sign that and share it, and that is what we are asking. the support
8:18 am
we have had so far has been great, but we need more. thanks for coming to talk to us, it is not easy and clearly you are trying to make a difference. we appreciate you coming lets get an update what is happening with the weather and the weekend whether. we are at the crossrail place roof garden, above the new canary wharf crossrail station. you might have heard that, a new train line linking west and east london, the central bit through london has not yet opened. this is one of the first project is completed, this garden, like the inside of a ship, full of pla nts like the inside of a ship, full of plants and trees from around the world. it represents the countries where all of the goods used to come in. it was a major trading area. it is still a big trading area in london. to give you an example of how close we are, it is canary wharf, a big financial institution,

8:20 am
western isles, maybe later into northern ireland. the isles of scilly and into cornwall. elsewhere, as you can see, still some good sunny spells, the odd shower in the south—east, but it is dry, recovering quite nicely from the chilly start. high teens, some spotted the low 20s. that takes us onto the weekend. we will go through friday night and into the first day of september. more cloud around tonight. in the north and west of the uk that means that temperatures are not going down as far. some spots will still be into single figures. that is where most of the sunshine will be on saturday, the midlands, east yorkshire, east anglia and into the south—east. the north and west of the uk you have that cloud. scotland, northern ireland, wales. patchy rain and drizzle. it is not going to be a wash—out of a day. a few brighter
