yeah and good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. our headlines today: the fight to free nazanin zahghari—ratcliffe steps up a gear — the fate of the british—iranian charity worker will be discussed at top—level talks in tehran today. the mother and daughter stabbed outside their own home — after a major police appeal, a man is charged with their murder. he'll appear in court today. no gongs for celebrities linked to tax avoidance schemes — government documents seen by the times shine a light on the honours system. england's women book their place in france for next summer's world cup finals, after breaking welsh hearts in newport. england celebreated, wales must now hope for the play—offs. a fitting farewell for the queen of soul — music legends, fans and famous faces honour aretha franklin at her seven—hour funeral in detroit. good morning. it is the 1st of

september, the first day of meteorological autumn. this weekend it looks like we will see some summary it looks like we will see some summary warmth. details later. good morning. the case of the jailed british—iranian charity worker, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, will be raised by a foreign office minister today, during a two day visit to tehran. alistair burt says he will push for a resolution of all cases of british dual nationals detained in iran, as tom burridge reports. the moment nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was briefly reunited with her daughter last week. she was released from jail in iran forjust three precious days before the regime there locked her up again. and this is nazanin with gabriella a week before she was arrested in the spring of 2016. they have been separated ever since, with iran accusing nazanin of spying — something she strenuously denies.

the foreign office minister alistair burt is now in iran. he will meet his counterpart and push for nazanin‘s release. his boss, the foreign secretary, expressed frustration on twitter, calling iran "an incredibly difficult regime to deal with." jeremy hunt said nazanin‘s hopes had been raised and then dashed when she was returned to prison. he promised to redouble efforts to get her home. last week he raised her plight at the united nations. every day that she is in prison is a reminder to the whole world of a gross injustice. nazanin‘s husband, richard ratcliffe, has praised the foreign secretary for his efforts. she suffered panic attacks after being locked up again. who calls the shots in iran is often not straightforward, and nazanin‘s predicament is complicated by tehran‘s deteriorating relationship with our key ally, the united states. we will keep a close eye on that

story. a man has been charged with the murders of a mother and daughter in solihull. raneem oudeh and her mother, khaola saleem, were stabbed to death outside their home on monday. janbaz tarin will appear before magistrates this morning. lebo diseko has the latest. raneem oudeh and her mother khaola saleem were found stabbed outside their home in the early hours of monday morning. they were pronounced dead at the scene and a postmortem found they died from multiple stab wounds. police had been looking for the younger woman's ex—partner, janbaz tarin, over a number of days. the 21—year—old was arrested in the spark hill area of birmingham on thursday. the family of the two women thanked the public and the police for their continued support. janbaz tarin will appear before magistrates in birmingham today. government documents obtained by the times newspaper,

have shown how prominent figures who use tax avoidance schemes are apparently being blocked from receiving honours. a document, which was drawn up between hm revenue and customs and the cabinet office, is said to feature a system which rates people's tax affairs. that is a story will cover with one of our correspondence later. —— correspondents. donald trump is going to visit ireland in november. the white house said the president hoped to "renew the deep and historic ties" between the two countries. his visit will be part of a wider trip to europe, to commemorate 100 years since the end of the first world war. actors rachel weisz and daniel craig have announced the birth of their first child together, a baby girl. the 48—year—old oscar—winning actor and the 50—year—old star ofjames bond got married in 2011. no name has been announced yet. the couple have reportedly told friends that they are ‘very happy‘. congratulations. well done them.

less than a third of rail services provided by the main train operator in northern england, will be running today. a dispute between bosses at northern, and members of the rmt union, has been going on for more than a year. andy gill is at liverpool lime street station. this is going to be disrupted again, isn't it? rail passengers facing a lot of misery when they are trying to get around at the moment? lot of misery when they are trying to get around at the moment7m lot of misery when they are trying to get around at the moment? it is. you can see the rmt union pickets behind me at lime street. this is the second of six consecutive saturdays when disputes are planned. the 25th day of action in a long—running dispute. the rmt say trains need guards for safety. this comes trains need guards for safety. this co m es after trains need guards for safety. this comes after a summer trains need guards for safety. this comes after a summer when trains need guards for safety. this comes after a summer when passengers faced cancellations and delays on northern rail because of the new timetable. northern rail says it is trying to keep the disruption to a

minimum. it admits that about 30% of services will be running. very few trains before 9am. very few trains after 6pm. this strike today coincides with a number of big events in the north—west of england. in the north of england generally. in the north of england generally. in blackpool illuminations are run. britney spears is on. there are no direct trains and no replacement buses between liverpool and blackpool. one bit of good news. the rmt has reached an agreement with merseyrail, the local trail —— rail operator, that guards will be on trains provided the money is there. union —— the union says merseyrail is controlled locally which is why they reached an agreement. northern rail is more of the control of the department for transport. that is why the dispute is still going on, say the union. the department for transport says driver only trains are safe. it says they have been running on some lines in the uk for

more than 30 years. the department also says the independent rail regulator also believes that driver only trains are safe. but until this dispute is resolved, northern rail passengers can expect more delays and more disruption. andy, you wonder if they will ever sort this out. thank you. you might have noticed this on the front page of the sunday times —— the times today. tax avoidance block from honours in a secret memo. government documents obtained by the times newspaper, have shown how prominent figures who use tax avoidance schemes are apparently being blocked from receiving honours. let's speak to our political correspondent jonathan blake — what more detail can you tell us? the times has got hold of a document which demonstrates the influence of the taxman when it comes to deciding he —— who will get a knighthood or be made a dame etc. it is a document

which sets out a three stage warning system, really. it gives it to any nominated candidate for an honour. it is based on a traffic light system. low, medium or high risk. somebody given a green rating would bea somebody given a green rating would be a low risk. an amber would be someone be a low risk. an amber would be someone likely to cause adverse comment due to the way they have organised their tax affairs. red would be high risk. we already knew hmrc had an input into the system and deed that they had a system for priority warnings. what is new in this document is the language that is used. it is potentially controversial. hmrc is guiding the honours system away from honouring people involved in tax schemes which may be lawful and not strictly illegal, but ones which are challenged by hmrc in court. the cabinet office have given a statement. they say this is a long—standing policy in order to protect the integrity of the system.

many departments do have input into the honours system. it is also perhaps a reason why some big names may have missed out on honours when others have received theirs. thank you. a host of stars including stevie wonder and bill clinton were among the many well wishers saying goodbye to aretha franklin at her funeral in detroit yesterday. the memorial service lasted over seven hours and also featured music from ariana grande and chaka khan. aleem maqbool was there. a culmination of two weeks of tribute since the passing of aretha franklin. a public that adored her queued for hours to get inside the church, to get a chance to say their final goodbyes to the queen of soul.

i could not sit at home and watch it on television. being here really brings in the realfeel. her on television. being here really brings in the real feel. her message and what he represented the people of african descendants in this country, the music, it is healing, it is powerful, it isjoyful. paying their last respects to her before she was laid to rest, the stars and dignitaries reflected the reach of aretha franklin's impact and a legacy that goes beyond the music industry alone. # i'm going up yonder... she lived with faith, not without failure but overcoming her failures. she lived with power. not without weakness but overcoming her weaknesses. i just

loved her. goodness, greatness... we would have never known the queen of soul. we would never have known the joy that she brought to us. and when i would go to her shows and watch singh, it would be the best feeling in the world. nothing sounded better to me than the way my grandma sings. her voice sounded better to me than the way my grandma sings. hervoice made sounded better to me than the way my grandma sings. her voice made you feel something. you felt every word, every note, every emotion in the songs she sang. her voice brought

peace. the world is celebrating you. and the world is morning you. and the world is going to miss you. # you make me feel like a natural woman. . . there is no doubt the often tough, troubled life of aretha franklin ultimately yielded such towering achievements has touched many who came after her. her legacy will continue to inspire long into the future. gosh. what a sendoff. you know what was so gosh. what a sendoff. you know what was so great about her music? uc ariana grande singing it. the range of people that it has affected. it is timeless music. totally. it crosses generations. an event which

is so sad but it was brilliant. you celebrate life, don't you? time for the papers. former chief prosecutor nazir afzal is here to tell us what's caught his eye. good morning. you were nodding when we we re good morning. you were nodding when we were talking about aretha franklin. absolutely. an absolute star. the soundtrack of my life. that is what people say. quite a few the stories we have been covering have been picked up from the front pages. david blunkett telling the daily telegraph that the resignation of labourmp frank daily telegraph that the resignation of labour mp frank field over claims of labour mp frank field over claims of bullying and anti—semitism must bea of bullying and anti—semitism must be a catalyst for a seismic change in the party. an investigation by the times claims high—profile figures who use legal tax avoidance schemes are being blocked from getting knighthoods and other honours. the paper has seen a

document from hmrc rating people on their tax behaviour with a traffic light system. the sun is reporting that the parents of toddler alfie eva ns, that the parents of toddler alfie evans, who died earlier this year after a long legal battle continued over his treatment, the parents are now surviving the birth of a new baby. the paper says their new son was born in august. he is believed to have been named thomas. and the guardian feature a picture of ariana grande, performing at the funeral of aretha franklin in detroit. the star—studded ceremony attended by many famous faces. it closed really a week of commemorations for the soul singer who died at the age of 76. good morning. one of the stories you have picked out is about strictly. it is all kicking off again. katie piper is one of the contestants.

what you have picked up on is the attacker, the acid folk as has been described. one of the wonders of strictly is that you get to the back stories of the people on it. katie piper i've known for more than a decade for all the wrong reasons. namely because my team prosecuted the people who attacked her. the story is that she was attacked by a hit man on behalf of her former partner. herformer partner hit man on behalf of her former partner. her former partner will be imprisoned for many more years to come. the actual man that attacked is potentially due for release. he is potentially due for release. he is seeking the release. the story is that katie has given evidence to a pa role that katie has given evidence to a parole board, saying he shouldn't be relief —— released. the parole board are making a judgment. cases —— katie is a very private person. she doesn't want people to know where she goes. altars of good reasons. see is an extraordinary woman. the number of operations she have to go through. what does she have to do?

what support but she gets while doing that in terms of giving evidence? the question about the offender is whether he is a risk to broader society. not necessarily a risk just to broader society. not necessarily a riskjust to katie but the broader society. that is a judgment that will be made based on reports they get. we have had this issue before with other famous offenders. they will make a judgment about whether he is due for release. the judge said a minimum of six years when he was sentenced. having served eight, nine, potentially he is ready to come out. katie is concerned, we are all concerned. the parole board to be sure he does not reoffend. all concerned. the parole board to be sure he does not reoffendm all concerned. the parole board to be sure he does not reoffend. it is not just famous people be sure he does not reoffend. it is notjust famous people who go through this? no. we have had this withjohn through this? no. we have had this with john worboys through this? no. we have had this withjohn worboys and others. hundreds of victims will ultimately have an opportunity to give their evidence to the parole board about why they feel somebody hasn't served the sentence they should. let's look at what else you have picked out. we have got a story which is to do...

this is trying to solve the gender gap in businesses and the idea being that the shortlist should have two women for everyjob? as you know, we have the gender pay gap. the information being required of everybody recently. the equalities watchdog has said that one is not enough. one woman on the shortlist is not enough. they should be a minimum of two. what is the best people for thejob are minimum of two. what is the best people for the job are men? absolutely. the idea is there should be two women on a shortlist. the ultimate decision on who is appointed is based on who else is on the shortlist. this is almost a negative. any woman put on that shortlist could perhaps think, i am only on this shortlist because they have to have two of us. that is a view that some people are taking.

that it is just a box ticking. it won't impact on it. i heard a story where you have 27 people studying to become a teacher. 27 women, three men. and the three men and up bing headmasters. it doesn't solve the problem. it is perhaps windowdressing. i have read this points to business leaders before who have said to me, you will often get women who don't necessarily think they are good enough for a job and therefore not go for it, and therefore if they made to get more women to go for it they will find that, i know it can be tokenism, but it is still trying to make more visible role models and trying to make women feel more confident. it is not a bad thing to do. it is just the way you do it, isn't it? you need to coach people, mentor people, moral more role models like yourselves, absolutely, that is what is needed. my is needed. my personal view is this is

windowdressing. what is this story about robots? we do love a technology story. we do. as you can imagine there are a lot of young children who are in very serious conditions in hospital. this is not simply the fact that they are able, by —— simply the fact that they are able, by -- by simply the fact that they are able, by —— by diddling, observe what is happening in the classroom. a specific robot has been created in oxford to enable young people, particularly seriously ill young people, who goes around the school in effect which enables them to engage with people in the corridor. notjust their teachers. engage with people in the corridor. not just their teachers. so engage with people in the corridor. notjust their teachers. so they feel present without actually being present. i love this idea. i do. it is often the chats you have in the corridors that makes the atmosphere in school. it is missing out on that, notjust the lesson. the lesson time is secondary to the social development. it goes up and down and enables you

to talk to other children. it is a great use of technology. and it works both ways. the children in the class will learn a little bit about adam's life and what it is like. absolutely. it is two—way. a brilliant use of technology. brilliant. lovely talking to you, as ever. it has been lovely talking to starve all morning. because there is sunshine on the way. i always loved that. good morning. the 1st of september. the first day of meteorological autumn. the weather will feel warm as we head through the weekend. this morning we start on a bright note in scotland, northern ireland and western england. wales looks like —— it looks like it will stay cloudy for the highland games today. limited sunshine. the best of the sunshine has been in central, southern and eastern england. it will stay pretty

warm to the weekend. turning warmer into tomorrow. it should be largely dry. the reason for that is we have high pressure dominating. it will keep these weather fronts at bay for now. they will try to make inroads during sunday. behind it, something cooler looms, which will spread our way as we move into next week. it should stay largely dry. in the meantime we are importing some warm airfrom the new meantime we are importing some warm air from the new continent. those temperatures will continue to rise. it will be a fine day from any central and eastern parts of england. after a cool start those temperatures will rise quickly. lengthy spells of sunshine. we could make 23, perhaps 2a across the capital. more tied in the north and west, and scotland. sunny spells breaking through. the best of it will be in the north—east of scotla nd will be in the north—east of scotland were 23 degrees is likely in aberdeen. closer to 19 further west. we could see some and patchy

rain across western parts of wales and into scotland. overnight we will see variable cloud. a cloudy night on the whole night and it was last night. that should blanket in the warmth as we pick up this one the south. we have the orange colours back overnight. a warm start for many on sunday. some cool spot in the extreme south—east. skies remain com pletely the extreme south—east. skies remain completely clear. mist and fog through the morning. the best of the sunshine in the extreme south—east. we should see some good holes appearing north and west. quite breezy across scotland and northern ireland. later in the davis weather front will make inroads with persistent rain to the western isles, western of northern ireland. 21 in belfast, aberdeen could be warmer. we could make 25 degrees in the south—east. monday is another warm one, particularly across central, southern and eastern parts of england. with high pressure dominating the scene across much of next week, it looks like it will

stay largely dry. variable cloud. some sunshine. temperatures around the seasonal average. where you get lengthy spells of sunshine it will feel warm. warming up this weekend. fine and settled for most of next week. thank you. tablature wise, i know i always love the sunshine, these temperatures are perfect for me. “— these temperatures are perfect for me. —— temperature wise. these are the appropriate damages for this time of the year as we approach autumn solstice? yeah, generally they are. they have been a bit lower than the end of august average over the last week. nights have been quite chilly. this weekend temperatures will be above the seasonal average, at the beginning of meteorological autumn. next week these values are a pretty typical of the time of the year. mid—to—late teens in the north. 23 in the south. we cannot moan too much. we can't.

it's normal. thank you. i'm loving your knowledge about the difference between solstice autumn and meteorological autumn. i was making a up. there is a difference though. this is a cracking story. have you ever had a chance meeting with an old flame and wondered what might have been? no. i've had a chance meeting with an old flame and gone, few! i wonder if they're watching. in the 19505, ruth holt and ron owen courted for a short time before going their separate ways. but almost 60 years later they met up in the same sheltered housing accommodation, and next week, at the ages of 79 and 84, they're getting married. beccy barr went to meet them. #my # my old flame... love blooms in unexpected places. when ron moved into sheltered accommodation in st annes, a series of coincidences prompted

the warden to realise ron may have met one of her existing residents before. i came in one day and she said there's an old girlfriend on site called ruth. isaid, ruth? without being... i don't know any ruth. he said he couldn't get to my flat because it was upstairs and he had problems with his hip. so if he couldn't come to me, i thought, well, i'll have to go over there. there was a knock at my door and this good lady stood there and said, "hi, i'm ruth." what did you think when he opened the door? he lookedjust what did you think when he opened the door? he looked just the same to me, really, apart from the her colour. his face seemed the same. still the wrong my new years ago. it has been hard these last few years, until i met him again. yes. it's

wonderful there. —— it's until i met him again. yes. it's wonderfulthere. —— it's wonderful now. ron and ruth dated in the mid—19505 when they worked at british aerospace in preston. ron left to work as an entertainer on the cruise ships and never married. ruth was only 18 then. she later married and lived in saudi arabia and india, raising two children and later was divorced. i think ithinkl i think i felt so alone for so long. it wasjust nice i think i felt so alone for so long. it was just nice to i think i felt so alone for so long. it wasjust nice to be with i think i felt so alone for so long. it was just nice to be with the person you really want to be with. i wouldn't have married anybody else. definitely not. you are a lucky man? very! you're making me cry! slowly but surely i realised i was getting happier and happier. and but surely i realised i was getting happierand happier. and now but surely i realised i was getting happier and happier. and now i'm perfectly willing to say i've never been as happy in my life. wonderful. and i feeljust the same. i've never been as happy. we haven't had a

wrong word. she doesn't get a chance to get one in! it was four years ago when they met again. now they are counting down to the big day. the ceremony at a local church will be followed by a party in the communal hall at clifton gardens. i've baked, steeled and borrowed for this reception. i would like if somebody could offer them a nice honeymoon. please, go forward and offer. after the long journey back together, they share a message for all of us. if you can find the right one, go for it. what great advice. as soon as you find the right one, go for it. my favourite bit of that was when ruth said he looked exactly the same as when they were first together. that is so sweet. i love it. kind. a lovely story. i wonder if we are going to have our stomachs warmed this morning. saturday kitchen is at ten o'clock. matt tebbutt is in the hot seat. we have been talking about

packed lunches this morning. who has helped be packed lunches and who hasn't. i'm trying to figure out how healthy your packed lunches were at school? iowa's had wet sand wedges. i hope my mum is not watching. she used to make it with frozen mighty white and put it together. by the time you got to read and about one o'clock in the afternoon they were wet but they we re afternoon they were wet but they were delicious, mum! thanks foot—dragging that a up. i was ready for old flame questions. but there we are. go on then, have you ever seen an we are. go on then, have you ever seen an old flame and thought, missed the boat on that one? yeah! i didn't know what to answer there. anyway, shall we move on? our special guest is on stage later today. you can probably recognise herfrom today. you can probably recognise her from the brilliant tv series, no offence. it is a cassidy —— cassidy. i'm doing two shows later. i have

tomorrow off. food heaven or food health. idea of food heaven? chorizo, eggs, smoked haddock. food help? tuner, rovers, artichokes. we didn't agree with that one. we have nicholas externally. what is on the menu? i am doing additional my new book. there are a lot of ingredients. there is mushrooms, apples, barley... a lot of happiness. a lot of things going on. and some pigeon as well. tom kitchin, what are you making? i am going to do crab meat mixed with curried mayonnaise and i'm going layered with red peppers, avocado, and then we are going to press it with salad and toast. a last gasp of summer. with salad and toast. a last gasp of summer. we have also got olly. olly

smith. he has got a fantastic new summer smith. he has got a fantastic new summer beard. new beard, new name! you guys are in charge of what elaine gets to eat at the end of the show. go to the website for details. see you at ten. thank you very much. see you at ten. thank you very much. see you at ten. thank you very much. see you in a bid. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. coming up before ten we'll get the weather from stav but first, a summary of this morning's main news. the foreign office minister, alistair burt, will raise the case of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe directly with iranian ministers today during his visit to tehran. he said he will push for a resolution of all cases of british dual nationals detained in the country. mrs zaghari—ratcliffe was jailed two years ago after being accused of spying, which she denies. a man has been charged with the murders of a mother and daughter in solihull. janbaz tarin, who's 21, will appear before magistrates this morning. raneem oudeh and her

mother khaola saleem were stabbed to death outside their home on monday. government documents obtained by the times newspaper, have shown how prominent figures who use tax avoidance schemes are apparently being blocked from receiving honours. a document, which was drawn up between hm revenue and customs and the cabinet office, is said to feature a system which rates people's tax affairs. in recent years a number of celebrities who've been involved with lawful schemes, have seemingly been overlooked for honours — including robbie williams and wayne rooney. less than a third of rail services provided by the main train operator in northern england will be running today. a dispute between bosses at northern, and members of the rmt union, has been going on for more than a year. the union says passenger safety will be put at risk by getting rid of guards and extending driver—only services. all hospital car parks are now free to use in wales, after the last site to charge ditched its fees. the welsh government announced ten years ago that it

would end hospital parking charges. a contract with a firm at prince philip hospital in carmarthen ended yesterday, meaning it's free to park there from now on. parking fees at scottish hospitals ended in 2008, except for where the facility is run by a private firm. but you still pay in northern ireland and england. a star—studded array of guests have said a final goodbye to aretha franklin at her funeral in detroit. the service lasted for more than seven hours, with stevie wonder delivering an emotionalfinale. bill clinton gave an address, and there were also performances from ariana grande and chaka khan. she had a great sendoff. she did. great news for england's women.

mike, good morning. but you do feel for wales. a fantastic defensive run finally against england they were breached. england have guaranteed their place at the world cup finals in france. the goal scored by a player called paris, quite apt. england's women have qualified for next year's world cup finals. they beat wales in their ‘winner takes all‘ qualifiying match in newport. after a goalless first half, england‘s strikers came alive midway through the second with all three goals in a space of 12 minutes — toni duggan opening the scoring. jill scott looping header made it 2, and nikita parris wrapped up the victory. you can see what it means to phil neville‘s side. he told them to relax at half—time.

wales now need to hope they can finish qualifying as one of the four best second—placed teams... to make it to the finals in france injune. do you believe you can go one step further? i believe. i don't believe the players believe at this moment in time. each time we will meet up, we see more development and improvement. now the truth is in the whole. it is always in the whole you find the truth — who said that? hegel... and jose mourinho. while early kick off, in the premier league, takes liverpoool to leicester city, it is mourinho, making headlines again ahead of manchester united‘s trip to burnley tomorrow. he‘s been quoting philosophy, and says he will be "one of the greatest managers in the world", even if he doesn‘t win the premier league at the club. i had great success last season. that's what probably you don't want to admit. and you do what you want. i do what i want.

i analyse my performance, myself, and for me it's more important what i think than what you think. never a bad thing to quote one of the great philosophers, is it? we also liked this from yesterday‘s premier league press conferences, arsenal boss, unai emery, is still getting to grips with a new language, but he‘s already happy, to have a bit of a laugh in england. i have respect for you but when the news isn‘t true, it isn‘t true. phone rings it‘s yours? i don‘t know who is the phone? john spencer. i can answer? ok, good morning. or good afternoon. hi, iam unai emery. how are you? yeah? we are working. he‘s gone. excuse. excuse, i don‘t know. a bizarre situation in a press

conference. the panic there. everyone was looking to see who it was. naga ran out to see whether it was. naga ran out to see whether it was her phone. a great story. the fourth test between england and india is tantalisingly poised, going into the third day, later this morning. yesterday five wickets for moeen ali, helped them fight their way back into the test after a poor start. they ended the day, on six for no wicket, only 21 runs behind india. adam wild reports from southampton. on the south coast, england knew they had to do a rescue job. having struggled with the bat, now the bowlers turn to try and reverse fortunes. stuart broad has so often saved his side before. here, he got things started. but this would take patience.

india fighting to stay in this series. sam curran got the biggest breakthrough of all. virat kohli. things were beginning to turn in england‘s favour. moeen ali could sense it. two wickets in two balls for him. first to dismiss ashwin and then shami. his fifth topped off a brilliant day for the man recalled to the side, sharma caught by cookjust. and whilst pujara couldn‘t be stopped, he made his century, the rest of the rescue was complete. india‘s first—innings lead, a mere 27 runs. england‘s openers survived a nervy last few moments. so, england‘s batsmen will return on 6—0. the big question now is can they do what they couldn‘t do in the first innings and build a platform on which england can actually win this game? and, if they do, they‘ll win the series. adam wilde, bbc news, southampton. such a pivotal day ahead.

to the us open, and serena won the battle of the williams sisters to progress through to fourth round. the 23—time grand slam champion, beat sister venus in straight sets, and said it was the best she‘d played, since returning to the sport after taking time out to have her daughter, last september. the new rugby union season‘s underway and newly promoted bristol will be delighted with their start. they took on local rivals bath in their first game back in the premiership and this late try from ala pati leiuai, ensured they started with a 17—10 win. you can see how that went down at ashton gate. there were also wins for leinster and ospreys in the pro 1a. wigan denied local rivals st helens, the chance to secure the league leaders‘ shield, with a 30—10 win in super league. victory for table—topping saints, would have secured the league title with four games to spare, but the warriors ran in six tries to lead throughout, and secure their place in the semi—finals. elsehwere wakefield trinity beat huddersfield giants. stand—by for a big

crash in formula 1. this is sauber‘s magnus ericsson, in second practice for the italian grand prix. thankfully, the swede walked away unharmed. sebastian vettel led a one, two for ferrari with mercedes‘ lewis hamilton in third place. cani can i tell everyone about what happened to you yesterday after the programme? you got in trouble with your mum. understandably. you would if you put ice cream on your face. we were talking about phil neville, talking about him getting to know his players in their everyday lives, having ice creams. my mum said i‘d

ridiculous myself. i‘ve got a lot of critics but you take notice of don‘t you? i'm sure she'll forgive you. today you were marvellous. the fallout from frank field‘s resignation continues — as the mp vows a legal challenge to labour‘s ruling that he can‘t remain in the party. so what do the events of the last couple of days tell us about labour, and will any more of its mps be following mr field‘s lead? let‘s cross to westminster and talk to stepahnie lloyd. there is a lot of reaction. david blu nkett there is a lot of reaction. david blunkett has said that frank field‘s actions need to be seen as a ca ta lyst actions need to be seen as a catalyst for seismic change. actions need to be seen as a catalyst for seismic changelj

actions need to be seen as a catalyst for seismic change. i hope it will be. i agree entirely with the diagnosis that frank has had. the labour party has undeniably a problem with anti—sense —— anti—semitism that it is not getting to grips with tackling. that doesn‘t mean we have to leave the labour party. every time we are in government we prove how important we can be but the leadership and the jeremy noseda to ensure that they really tackle these issues and don‘t just dismiss it in the way that the people surrounding jeremy have done in the last 2a hours. people surrounding jeremy have done in the last 24 hours. we have heard state m e nts in the last 24 hours. we have heard statements from the labour party say that they are. isn‘t the big concern what this looks like to voters. everybody squabbling, frank field resigns after 40 years as an mp for the labour party pulls up what you think voters will make of this? the labour party pulls up what you think voters will make of this7m

you can‘t lead your own party and stop racism within it and show leadership, why would they trust you to run the country? and we need a labour government in this country. we see what is happening over brexit in this country. this scandal has been going on for over two years and people are devastated at what this is doing to the labour party. the actions he could take are so simple but all it takes is political will and he refuses to do that. we have got the meeting on tuesday where they need to pass the definition of anti—semitism as a bare minimum. jeremy corbyn was voted as leader and frank field was an mp who nominated him. shouldn‘t there be due process and a chance to solve these problems? he's had two years of that chance. i‘m not saying he is

in the democratic leader of the labour party but there is also a real problem within the labour party and as that democratic leader, comes and as that democratic leader, comes a huge amount of responsibility. this isn‘t new. it has been happening since he became leader of the labour party in the seismic way that it has and it is his responsibility to tackle it. looking at the resignation letter from frank field, part of it was to do with issues in his local constituency and some critics have said that he was jumping before he was pushed because, for example, there was opposition in his constituency from some members about his views on brexit and he got a vote of no—confidence from them. what your thoughts? i don't agree with frank's view on brexit. i am proudly pro—european. but this is also the clp who voted, the constituency part

of the labour party, that voted to not have thejewish labour movement, the officialjewish wing of the labour party to do training on anti—semitism because they would be associated with isis. this is not a normal grouping of people. they‘re rather some quite extreme views and eight culture of bullying across the labour party with any form of dissent or disagreement in any form tojeremy dissent or disagreement in any form to jeremy and his dissent or disagreement in any form tojeremy and his leadership. it should be about the issues. it needs to stop being about him as a person. it should be about him as a leader and how we come together as a party to deal with some of the biggest issues that this country is facing. thank you forjoining us. it‘s quarter to ten. fancy tossing the caber? tug of war? i‘m good at that. i think. haven‘t done it for a while. the braemar gathering is the biggest event in the calendar

of the highland games, and has attracted royal spectators since queen victoria in 1848. catriona renton is there this morning. it's it‘s exciting to get underwear. we have had the procession that got the gathering under way. you can probably hear the pipes in the background. people warming up for the day where heavy events will take place soon. behind me is the centrepiece, the duke of rothesay pavilion which will be open to the public from next year. the queen and the duke of edinburgh will be here to open this incredible museum of all things highland games. yesterday, to give you a flavour, we went to crieff highland games. the unique sound of the bagpipes as pipers lead the parade

through the town centre. the chieftain of the games this year‘s from ohio. one of the highlights of my life. it's fantastic. really honoured to be here. just to be the chieftain is an honour itself. i feel like a celebrity. it was fantastic. what better way to what down the street than to have everybody cheering for you. it was fantastic. the highland games date back over 1000 years in scotland. in the cumberland style wrestling the current champion held sway. today‘s gathering attended by the queen and prince charles has long been a favourite of the royal family, especially a young charles. like crieff, there will be traditional heavy athletic events like the tug of war and caber toss as well as highland dance competitions, track and field and piping. the games are a spectacle like no other. countries all over the world celebrate celtic heritage

by hosting their own games. norway host the most northerly games with the most southerly being in new zealand. great to see the kids walking about in kilts. it's fantastic. if you're scottish, it's the thing you do. i love that things like this still carry on in such a small place like crieff. it's fantastic for scotland. we‘ve been here for several weeks practising and being part of the band. i think the games are one of the strongest in the world. we've been coming here with the games in stirling and the highlands and it's going well. it‘s absolutely magic. the pull of the games brings tourists to scotland and keeps the unique nature

of the game is alive. i‘m joined by denise forsyth whose the secretary of the grampian highland games association and jim wood from the braemar highland games association. this has been a whole load of work for you. it has. welcome to the gathering. it has been 18 months of work, pulling it together to this one day. tell us what people can expect to happen here today, all 15,000 of them that are coming. a full programme of highland games, heavy events, dancing events, other track events. athletes from all over the world, from as far as new zealand, coming to ta ke from as far as new zealand, coming to take part in the games. and the queen and the duke of to say coming to open the pavilion today. the

queen is a patron. a member of the royalfamily queen is a patron. a member of the royal family has been a patron since 1848 and for her to do as the honour of opening the centre is fantastic. a great thing to add to our day and the spectacle of the gathering. what does it mean for you, denise? loads of preparation. we've got 13 member games, all of the results from the heavy events, the light events, the dancing, coming together for the finale. today, iwill dancing, coming together for the finale. today, i will be running about with bits of paper, getting the results, working out the league placings and presenting the results. this is the culmination of a lot of work. everybody is thrilled to be here. it is something special. the setting, the crowds, so many international visitors. you sit down at the ringside and meet so many

people. if there's a bottle of whiskey, it gets passed around. you make friends very quickly that way. what is your favourite event? make friends very quickly that way. what is your favourite event7m make friends very quickly that way. what is your favourite event? it is the heavies. wait for distance. for me it‘s the piping. it‘s in the background, not many people watch but the standard is phenomenal. the youngsters we have, the under 18 ‘s, it‘s going to be a really good competition to watch. tank you very much for talking to us. we are looking forward to a great day here with 15,000 people here in braemar. you‘re going to have a lot of fun, i can see. the weather is improving. here‘s stav with a look at this morning‘s weather. it's it‘s going to be cloudy across much of scotland, seems like this is typical. but for much of the moray

firth we will see sunshine. there could be a bit of rain across western parts of scotland. further south we have seen sunshine across much of southern and eastern england. it‘s going to feel warmer. it's england. it‘s going to feel warmer. it‘s the first day of meteorological autumn but those temperatures will feel very pleasant indeed. high pressure keeping the weather fronts at bay but they will bring some rain later on sunday. we are importing this form are today and tomorrow from spain and france. plenty of sunshine across the eastern side of the country. into the afternoon, fairweather cloud will build up. more cloud from the west. some of it could be thick enough for some light rain or drizzle across some western hills. but in the south—east good lengthy spells of sunshine and we

could see 24 degrees. further west, closer to 19 and 21. north—east scotla nd closer to 19 and 21. north—east scotland could see some good sunny spells with temperatures reaching 20 degrees for aberdeen. a little bit of light rain across some western hills. it‘s going to be a warm night generally. a return to orange colours. something we haven‘t seen for a few weeks now. the nights have been quite cool. temperatures around the mid teens celsius. across the extreme south—east, completely clear skies throughout the night. who the afternoon, some holes will appear in that cloud. meanwhile, this weather front pushing into western scotland bringing outbreaks of pretty heavy rain. we could see temperatures in

the low 20s across north—east scotland. 25 degrees in england and wales. for the rest of the week, fairly settled with warmer temperatures then returning to the seasonal average as we head towards wednesday and thursday. at school, were you a packed lunch boy? yes. was it healthy? yes there was fruit and veg but i also like the nice sandwiches and a chocolate bar. he does look healthy. parents are almost agonising about whether there packed lunches are healthy enough. that‘s what we‘re talking about. we‘ve been asking people about. we‘ve been asking people about this. she lost to eat the lovely delicious

salty things but i would pack more fruit. we have fruit and some things asa fruit. we have fruit and some things as a treat. we have water and no food. we put popcorn in instead of crisps. we don‘t put chocolate in, it‘s not allowed by school. we have lots of fruit but it‘s a bit boring. the healthy stuff tends to get left in the lunchbox and comes home again. we'll put two or three items m, again. we'll put two or three items in, orange, apple, but normally they get left. the chocolate bars get eaten. we do eat them at home. sometimes. a new survey we saw there just a moment ago suggests that most parents feel guilty

that the food they‘re sending their children to school with isn‘t healthy enough. joining us now is mel wakeman, a nutritionist, mum and blogger. it's it‘s something that parents do agonise about. we have two lunchbox is here that are quite realistic. the concern is, you want them to eat. yes, we want them to eat and have the energy to run around and grow and thrive. we want the best for our kids. parents are at last to know what to put in if they don‘t have enough guidelines from schools, for example. with all the concern around sugar and fat and salt, with time pressured parents we are forced to go for more processed foods and sugary items. do you think parents respond kindly to being told by the school what to put in lunchboxes?

some schools have taken out chocolate and things? it's got to be done diplomatically and tactfully. it's done diplomatically and tactfully. it‘s important to introduce changes. if you suddenly move the goalposts massively it‘s a huge jump for pa rents to massively it‘s a huge jump for parents to achieve that. you have children, what are your thoughts when making them a packed lunch? my youngest son has free school meals. when making a packed lunch, food has to be fun. in terms of what i know, it‘s about making it interesting. a simple carrot and cucumber is now competing with cheese strings and squashing your guts. -- yoghurts. those are the ones that you squeeze out. they are also really high in

sugar. it‘s going back to basics. simple sandwiches. some veggie sticks, wraps, making it look appealing. and also having nice things in there. is there anything thatis things in there. is there anything that is healthy and popular? people we re that is healthy and popular? people were saying that the healthy stuff is often left and the pool will eat each reads first. what is healthy and popular? the thing is, kids have lost touch with what real food is and looks like. 25% of children thought that cheese came from plants. they don‘t identify with real food. it comes plants. they don‘t identify with realfood. it comes back plants. they don‘t identify with real food. it comes back to plants. they don‘t identify with realfood. it comes back to making food fun. i have things like sultanas food fun. i have things like sulta nas and food fun. i have things like sultanas and raisins. many malt loaves. read sticks. things that are a bit more interesting. things that are popular at the little cheese and cracker packs, the mini yoghurt is, things that are aimed at children.

it's things that are aimed at children. it‘s hidden sugar that is the other thing, and q4 talking to us. it harks back to school days. that‘s all from us this morning. breakfast is back tomorrow from six. have a good day. bye— bye. this is bbc news. the headlines: an investigation claims hm revenue and customs blocks people from receiving honours if they‘re found to be avoiding tax. they are going after schemes of this kind and individuals who have benefited from them are being held to account. that should be right. the mother and daughter stabbed outside their own home — a man will appear in court, charged with their murder. more misery for northern rail passengers, as more than two thirds of services are cancelled, in a dispute over driver—only operated trains. the fight to free british—iranian charity worker nazanin zahghari—ratcliffe continues — her fate will be discussed

at top—level talks in tehran today. also coming up this hour, a relaunch for thomas the tank engine.
