good morning. welcome to breakfast with christian fraser and victoria fritz. our headlines today: standing firm on brexit. theresa may says she won't give in to those who want another referendum. a big rise in the number of staff caught smuggling banned items into prisons. and video games which allow players to spend money on upgrades and special features will soon carry a warning icon. in sport, under pressure jose mourinho is again in the spotlight as his misfiring manchester united face a tricky trip to burnley in the premier league. good morning to you. a cracking day for some yesterday, pretty warm as well. today is looking pretty warm gci’oss well. today is looking pretty warm across the board but a bit more cloud around and there's some rain forecast too. join me later, i'll have all the details for you. it's sunday september the second. it's sunday september the second. our top story: theresa may says she will not give in to those who want another referendum on brexit.

writing in the sunday telegraph the prime minister also insisted she will not be forced into watering down her brexit plan during negotiations with the eu. our political correspondent chris mason reports. the prime minister argues that in the eu referendum two years ago, millions of people voted, some for the first time in decades, and they trusted their vote would count. and yet one deep—pocketed member of the tory faithful, the donor and businessman sir simon robertson, tells the observer the exact opposite, insisting it is balderdash to say you can't have another vote. and the prime minister is not short of vociferous critics here in parliament either. desperate to see her blueprint for brexit, which has already

cost her two cabinet ministers, shredded. until now, the most ardent sceptics have been long—standing brexiteers, but now the conservative backbencher nick bowles, who voted remain, joins them in wanting her plan rewritten. he describes the current strategy as a humiliation dictated by brussels. instead, he suggests that the uk should remain in the european economic area while negotiating a free trade agreement with the eu. welcome to the new term in politics. it's getting loud already. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says he is worried and saddened at the prospect of the labour party splitting amid the row about anti—semitism. mr mcdonnell says it's something he wants to avoid at all costs. our political correspondent susana mendonca can tell us more. he says he wants this row over

anti—semitism to be sorted as quickly as possible, susana, is he supporting a change in the guidelines? has stopped short of saying labour should go down the road of taking on all the examples of the internationally recognised definition of anti—semitism, which has been the sticking point for many labourmps, has been the sticking point for many labour mps, certainly many within the jewish community labour mps, certainly many within thejewish community have been concerned about labour's approach on that, so he stopped short on that but it's clear he's worried about a split in labour. we saw frank field resigning, citing anti—semitism and also a culture of nastiness as he saw it in the labour partyjust last week, so there's certainly a concern from whatjohn mcdonnell is saying that there could be more splits. he talks about the stl p when a number of labour mps left the party in the 80s and how that led to the labour party losing votes in those constituencies, he doesn't want to see that happening. today we will hear about a meeting of the jewish

labour movement, at that meeting various critics of jeremy labour movement, at that meeting various critics ofjeremy corbyn will be speaking. no doubt the labour leadership will be keeping a close eye on what's said there. susana, thanks very much. we will speak to louise allman mp, who is with the jewish speak to louise allman mp, who is with thejewish labour movement, later in the programme just after 8am, so stay with us for that. there's been a big rise in the number of prison workers caught smuggling banned items into jails over the past six years. figures obtained by the observer show that more than 340 staff in england and wales were sacked or disciplined for passing things like drugs, weapons and mobile phones onto inmates. thats's a rise of more than 50%. the ministry ofjustice says it remain's vigilant to the threat posed by the corruption and wrongdoing of what it says is a very small number of staff. in a few minutes we'll be talking about this story with a former prison governor who is now director of the prison reform trust. thousands of people have taken part in more anti—migrant protests in the germany city of chemnitz last night.

a week ago a german man was killed allegedly by two asylum seekers, triggering a series of violent demonstrations. the far right political party in the country, the afd, or alternative for germany, has been accused of inflaming tensions. the united states says it is cancelling $300 million in military aid to pakistan. the pentagon has criticised pakistan for failing to deal with militant groups operating in the country. the decision was taken just days before the us secretary of state is due to meet the newly elected prime minister imran khan. video games which allow players to make in—game purchases will have a warning icon on their packaging from christmas. a picture of a hand holding a credit card will appear on boxes. the aim is to warn parents and help them regulate how much money their children can spend. 0ur news correspondent angus crawford has more. 0nce out of the shop, the gaming can start, but so too can the spending. many games allow players to buy

things like better guns, new characters or extra features using real non—digital money. children can run up big bills and some parents don't find out until it's too late. about 40% of parents apparently let their children spend money in—game, it's becoming more of a common thing in games as digital downloads mean you can spend money in the game to get extra content or there's the rise of these loop boxes or mobile transactions... especially ones that are free originally like fortnight, battle royale. the industry is aware of the problem. last year after a public outcry, one game temporarily stopped all in—play purchases. and now the european ratings body

pegi has decided to act. from christmas, video game boxes will carry a new icon, warning parents that children can pay and spend at the same time. but will it make any difference? if you have to buy the game and within the game to actually play the game and make the most fun out of that game you have to spend a lot more money, the customer should be informed about that so i agree. all the games these days, everything comes with add—ons and extra purchases. it's a good idea to one people but at the same time people should probably expected anyway i think. regulators fear gaming can sometimes look more like gambling. this new icon perhaps a sign of the industry taking action before it's forced to. angus crawford, bbc news. a second world war veteran has broken his own record as the world's oldest scuba diver. 95—year—old ray woolley spent nearly three—quarters of an hour underwater examining a shipwreck off the coast of cyprus. tim allman reports. they say you only get better with practice. well, that certainly must be true for ray woolley.

a former radio operator during the war, he's been scuba diving for 58 years. his latest excursion, out into the crystal clear waters of the mediterranean. cheering cheered on as he took the plunge, heading down to visit a wreck that's not even half his age. the ms zenobia was a cargo vessel that sank on its maiden voyage in 1980. ray and the two dozen or so divers who accompanied him took time out for a group photo. then, after checking the watch to see how long they'd been down there, headed back to their boat. cheering more cheers, more applause for this most modest of men. we did it!

we managed to get 40.6 metres for 44 minutes. wow! that's pretty good! lovely to break my record again! and i hope if i keep fit, i'll break it again next year with all of you! and somehow you kind of believe he will too. tim allman, bbc news. he looks the part, ray, doesn't he? go, ray. ray, 95! all of us creaking getting out of the bed and there's ray down at the bottom of the ocean! anyway... there's been a sharp rise in the number of prison workers caught smuggling things like drugs, weapons and mobile phones in to jails over the past six years. figures obtained by the observer newspaper show that hundreds of staff in england and wales have been sacked or disciplined for passing contraband onto inmates.

we're joined now by former prison governor peter dawson, who is now the director of the prison reform trust. good morning to you. good morning. you used to run prisons for a living, obviously corrupt workers have been smuggling contraband since prisons have existed, so why does this problem seemed to be getting worse? well, you're right, it's a lwa ys worse? well, you're right, it's always been an issue, it's one of the main vulnerabilities for people running prisons. what's happened over the last five or six years is the decisions of successive governments have created a perfect market for drugs in prison. you have a huge number of people who have nothing to do, who have no hope, and for whom drugs is one way of making the time pass a bit quicker and you have people on the outside who can make a huge amount of money by exploiting that market. so you can't just concentrate on how you stop the supply of drugs into prison, you have to look at why the demand is so

high as well. you say this is a cumulative failure of successive governments, so this isn't an issue to do with austerity and cuts to budgets? it's absolutely and cuts to budgets? it's absolutely an issue to do with austerity. the huge failure in prisons has been that so many staff has been taken out, a cut of a quarter in the number of staff in prisons, which hasn't all been put back. what that hasn't all been put back. what that has done is to make prisons are u nsta ble has done is to make prisons are unstable and dangerous places to work, a loss of a lot of experienced staff, but for prisoners, it's taken away all the reasons to say no to drugs. a really good example would be prisoners used to be able to go out on release on temporary licence to work, attend education, make plans for their resettlement. the number of prisoners going out on that has halved. you could only do that has halved. you could only do that if you had a clean drugs test, so that if you had a clean drugs test, so there was a good reason to steer clear and that good reason just isn't being used as effectively as it should be. but the numbers are relatively small. 71 confirmed cases of staff

smuggling in 2017. what sort of risk do those 71 pose inmates and, as you say, the stability of the whole prison system? it only takes one corrupt member of staff to supply a medium—sized prison for quite a long time. it's a very good and efficient route to get prison, drugs into prison. to be honest, the numbers don't tell us really whether or not the problem is growing all whether people are getting better at spotting it. they really don't tell us spotting it. they really don't tell us whether that's the whole size of the issue. an awful lot of people in those numbers have been excluded from the prison, they haven't been prosecuted, they've just been told they can't work in the prison any more and that could be on suspicion rather than proof. there's a good deal we don't know but what we do know is drugs in prison are causing instability, they're know is drugs in prison are causing instability, they‘ re causing know is drugs in prison are causing instability, they're causing death, they're causing instability, they're causing death, they‘ re causing self—harm instability, they're causing death, they're causing self—harm and they're causing self—harm and they're making they're causing self—harm and they‘ re making it they're causing self—harm and they're making it a dangerous place for people to work. tackling demand

is the element of the equation the government won't address its mind to. everything is about reducing supply, to. everything is about reducing supply, it is necessary but not enough. there appears to be this escalating crisis when it comes to prisons, record levels of violence and last month the government seized control of the prison in birmingham, which was an unprecedented step. what is the solution here? can everybody, anybody stop the rot now when it comes to the prison system —— can anybody. when it comes to the prison system -- can anybody. long-term we must use prison less. the prison population has nearly doubled over 30 years but the rate of overcrowding, which is a good indicator of whether we're prepared to pay for the prisons we need, hasn't changed at all. there's a quarter of prisoners living in overcrowded accommodation, the same as in the early 1990s, that shows you governments can't build out of this crisis. they have to look at who goes to prison and for how long.

ministers have said encouraging things about stopping the use of short prison sentences, that's great but they must do something to give that reality. in the longer term, we're sending people to prison for much longer than we need to. we're destroying hope and we are spending huge amounts of money on longer sentences that do no good, and that needs to change. we will leave it there. peter dawson, director of the prison reform trust and former prison offers and governor, thank you very much. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. lines start today with a bit of mist and fog across the country where it's been cleared that in today's going to be another warm day, good of sunshine but nothing further west, some outbreaks of rain, all courtesy of this weather system which will include chin to the

north—west. a high pressure will keep things mostly fine. warm humid airupfrom the keep things mostly fine. warm humid air up from the near south. as we head on into the morning into the afternoon, issued a —— eastern areas will see the most of the sunshine. in this unbroken sunshine. in two the north—east as well. maybe 26 degrees. perhaps a few spots of rain. into western parts of northern ireland and western scotland. 22 or 23 celsius. this evening into overnight, this weather front across the north and west has gone south eastwards. quite cool across parts

of scotla nd eastwards. quite cool across parts of scotland and northern ireland. temperatures for most of us in double figures. the bing south eastwards. cooler and fresher to the north and west. something a bit warmer, more humid. brighter, clearer, a bit cool across scotland and northern ireland. bringing outbreaks of rain in quite a lot of cloud. variable cloud and sunny spells. high teens on that weather front. that weather front slips south eastwards. introducing cooler and fresher conditions. the same on wednesday. much of this week, it's going to be largely fine and settled thanks to high pressure. cooler than

what we can expect and also today. if you buy a video game for your child you might think that's the only thing you have to pay for, but the rise of in—game extras — bought using real money — can result in a nasty surprise when you check your bank account. in an effort to avoid this, computer game boxes will soon feature an icon warning parents of the potential for extra purchases. we're joined by technology expert tom cheesewright. reading some of the research on this, it said that 98% of parents already are aware of their children spending on games so what is this icon going to change? it's always good to have that extra warning. your age ratings and in content

warnings, which is an extra warning saying you can spend 50 quid on a game. 0ften saying you can spend 50 quid on a game. often the consoles are connected to the credit card account. spending more money to upgrade character skins. my little boy comes to me with games he might play on the ipad and there are things that he can buy and what worries me is that he doesn't know what he is buying and he becomes quite addicted to buying it. oh, maybe i will get a gun or a sword. and that is a form of gambling, isn't it? it is when you don't know what you are going to get. you can buy stuff like currency, buy stuff in the endgame shop and buy specific items. you can get surprise crates which got some unknown items and that really is a form of gambling, there is a random element. and some countries have banned the form of purchase. why haven't we banded

here? we may not need to. the mechanism isn't popular with gamers. it's had an enormous effect. progressively removing this format. there is a charge upfront. as we get more addicted to the game. the length of games isn't expanding. games cost millions to produce. they wa nted games cost millions to produce. they wanted to give that money upfront. they've got to run these services in the background. running older servers in the background. the games

are updated and they don't exist. as what you bind themselves. it's an ongoing cost to the company. absolutely. what i find strange about this is that in most cases, you can access all areas of the game. without having to buy all these extra add—ons and bells and whistles. isn't it sort of cheating? it depends on the game. it's where you can't get everywhere and everything. without spending additional money. my kids love pokemon g0. you can earn additional items. i would pokemon g0. you can earn additional items. iwould rather get pokemon g0. you can earn additional items. i would rather get my kids out walking. i think the ideal mechanism is one we can do through patience and hard work. maybe you can cheat a little bit by spending money on getting ahead. this icon on

the front of boxes, can't believe we are talking about christmas, presumably it's going to be there? alongside all the content warnings, thatis alongside all the content warnings, that is a feature of that game. content warnings, warnings about what is inside, what is possible to spend on these games. are we in danger of demonising the whole issue of gaming? that's been a huge problem. the natural reaction that gaming is evil. talking about gaming being evil and violence. despite it being evil and violence. despite it being an enormous industry. i think we have to remember that these things are fun and entertaining. that is why it is the industry body putting it on the front, not regulation. wejust putting it on the front, not regulation. we just have to be

conscious, cautious parents. trying not to get hooked ourselves. tom, thank you very much. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, time now for a look at the newspapers. the reverend sally hitchiner, anglican chaplain at london's brunel university, is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we'll speak to her in a minute, first let's look at the front pages. the prime minister writes in the sunday telegraph, expressing her determination to stick to her brexit plan, saying she will not agree to compromises that are not in the national interest. but the mail on sunday alleges there's a plot to oust her and install borisjohnson in her place. the sunday times also leads on that plot but the paper says that the labour leaderjeremy corbyn is also under threat, with rebel labour mps planning a vote of no confidence.

and the 0bserver‘s front page features a picture of former us president barack 0bama, who gave a eulogy at the funeral of senatorjohn mccain, which took place in washington yesterday. the former republican candidate for president, died from brain cancer last weekend at the age of 81. let's find out what stories reverend sally hitchiner has chosen to look at. there was planning right to the end from john mccain about who is going to be there and who is not going to be there. labour the big news story isn't just the family morning be there. labour the big news story isn'tjust the family morning but that the current president wasn't there. the thing that i find fascinating is that there were so many other presidents, barack 0bama giving a eulogy as well as george bush and the clintons. there was a

real display of unity across the political divide. in opposition and john mccain's daughter, giving a very moving eulogy that moved on from just the morning to the morning of the whole country and what she put was the death of the sense of politics in the sense of fair play that she loved about america. i think what was fascinating, particularly because it was at washington cathedral, it's the episcopalian, the equivalent of the church of england, the sense that there is the establishment, the elite, gathering together and in real shock, i felt, what elite, gathering together and in real shock, ifelt, what was really moving wasn't just the real shock, ifelt, what was really moving wasn'tjust the particular individual but the shock of the soul group of people, democrats, republicans, gathering together in shock at their country but also disbelief that their country could have been so dusty dasher seduced by

populism and seduced by this particular president. it's a really interesting reflection of what is happening across the whole world weather is this sense of populism versus the academic elites. we are losing the left right divisions, evenin losing the left right divisions, even in the uk and france and germany for this new model of doing politics which is about inclusion and intellectualism versus fear and populism and nationalism. not to wa nt to populism and nationalism. not to want to put to negative spin on it. whatever your politics are surrounding donald trump, it's the fa ct surrounding donald trump, it's the fact that politically, he could have taken the sting out of this byjust releasing the statement he was going to release on john releasing the statement he was going to release onjohn mccain but the fa ct to release onjohn mccain but the fact he didn't, he played into his hands. he was playing golf at the time of the funeral. he could have sent a few respectful tweets. i'm

sorry i can't be here, glad my family can represent me. i think he is deliberately using anything he can to stirup is deliberately using anything he can to stir up this opposition and this divisiveness which seems to have gripped the world at the moment. respectful tweets aren't really his forte. let's talk about this story, we were talking to peter dawson who used to run prisons, just a few moments ago. this is about the rising prison officers smuggling drugs into jail. a fascinating story. a rise by 57% since 2012 and a number of staff taking contraband into prisons. there's been a real introduction of heroin and cocaine into prisons. a massive game changer in terms of the divide between prisoners and staff, and there is an expectation that in every single prison, there is a least one corrupt member of staff. i am heartened by

rory stewart, the mp for prisons, has put his own career on the line to try and sort this out. there is hope that we can do something, the world leading in terms of facing up to the drugs problems in prisons and found knock—on effects in terms of violence and all sorts of things that come from that but we really had to address this seriously and not— the fact that it's notjust prisoners during the wrong thing, it is also guides. what do you make of this argument peter dawson was putting forward that the issue is around demand and if he had effectively happier more content prisoners, prisoners with things to look forward to, they wouldn't take the drugs. that's definitely been backed up by science. read lots of research about rats, showing that they are given a happier environment where they have things to do, where they are not bored, they are less likely to look to drugs and that

kind of thing in laboratory experiments but i think you just can't put it down to something as simple as that. when people are locked up and kept away from their families and they have troubled backgrounds, they will be susceptible to drugs and don't think it's as simple as that, albeit a very valid argument to improve living conditions generally and i think we have to take seriously the fa ct think we have to take seriously the fact that we can't lock people up for 22 hours a day and not have them finding ways to stimulate themselves. i'm quite interested in this. this is a story about children being effectively hot housed. tutoring companies preying on pa rents, tutoring companies preying on parents, convincing parents that their children aren't up to scratch and they need tutoring through the summer. i'm passionate about this, i'm the university chaplain. there are concerns being raised both by head teachers and the head of the good schools guide about the aggressive tactics being used by

tutoring companies to make parents very anxious, saying they will lose up very anxious, saying they will lose up to 50% of their knowledge over the summer. a totally ridiculous statistic. there is no reason that pa rents statistic. there is no reason that parents need to feel overly anxious about getting treated. they got to be allowed to play as well. i've just taken my nephew on a monopoly tour of london, visiting every monopoly site. he loves monopolies so we thought, why not have a go. we we re so we thought, why not have a go. we were able to explain, this is parliament. of course, it was mostly sweets and toys. getting kids out and about, all sorts of things, and playing board games together. we've dug out another plan of stories. we will see them. you're watching breakfast. coming up in the next half hour — ffrom winning the tour de france, to the tour of britain. welshman geraint thomas is back

home, and the star of the show, at the uk's biggest cycle race which gets underway in carmarthenshire. stay with us, headlines coming up. fortnite and hello, this is breakfast with christian fraser and victoria fritz. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the prime minister has insisted there will be no second referendum, or people's vote, on the uk's membership of the european union. writing in the sunday telegraph, theresa may said any such move would be a gross betrayal of our democracy. mrs may also pledged that brussels wouldn't force her into watering down her brexit plans. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says he is worried and saddened at the prospect of the labour party splitting amid the row about anit—semitism. mr mcdonnell says it's something he wants to avoid at all costs. tensions in the party have intensified following the decision by one of the party's longest serving mps, frank field, to resign the whip earlier in the week.

there's been a big rise in the number of prison workers caught smuggling banned items into jails over the past six years. figures obtained by the observer show that more than 340 staff in england and wales were sacked or disciplined for passing things like drugs, weapons and mobile phones onto inmates. thats's a rise of more than 50%. the ministry ofjustice says it remain's vigilant to the threat posed by the corruption and wrongdoing of what it says is a very small number of staff. speaking earlier on breakfast peter dawson from the prison reform trust said he doesn't think the figures show the true figure. it only takes one corrupt member of staff to supply a medium—sized prison for quite a long time. it's a very good, very efficient route to get drugs into prison. to be honest, the numbers don't tell us really whether or not the problem is growing all whether people are getting better at spotting it. they really don't tell

us spotting it. they really don't tell us whether that's the whole size of the issue. thousands of people have taken part in more anti—migrant protests in the germany city of chemnitz last night. a week ago a german man was killed allegedly by two asylum seekers, triggering a series of violent demonstrations. the far right political party in the country, the afd, or alternative for germany, has been accused of inflaming tensions. the united states says it is cancelling $300 million in military aid to pakistan. the pentagon has criticised pakistan for failing to deal with militant groups operating in the country. the decision was taken just days before the us secretary of state is due to meet the newly elected prime minister imran khan. video games which allow players to spend money on upgrades and special features within the game will soon have warning icons on their packaging. from christmas a new graphic of a hand holding a credit card will appear on boxes. the warnings already on digital downloads. the aim is to warn parents and help them regulate how much money their children can spend. britain's got talent and i'm

a celebrity host declan donnelly has become a dad for the first time. the baby girl has been named isla elizabeth anne. he and his wife ali astall said they were thrilled to announce the arrival on saturday morning and mother and daughter are doing well. congratulations to them. tough game forjoe jose tough game forjoejose mourinho, damian, today, he's going to fortress tu rf damian, today, he's going to fortress turf moor. —— forjoejose mourinho. your team! reports earlier in the week saying he had one game to save hisjob but in the week saying he had one game to save his job but that's a bit strong! the pressure is mounting on manchester united boss jose mourinho as his side face burnley this afternoon at turf moor. they have lost two games out of the three so far this season. the worst start by united in 26 years. they are already chasing their rivals at the top of the table. yesterday, three of those hoping to be challenging at the end of the season continued

their unbeaten starts. ben croucher looks back. take a look, this is what a happy manager looks like. jurgen klopp has every right to be after liverpool beat leicester 2—1 to stay top. it looked like a routine performance when firmino nodded them two to the good, but the goalkeeper they brought in to replace the one that made too many mistakes didn't exactly help matters. fortunately, allison's howler didn't totally haunt his side. commentator: what a horrible moment for allison, what a way to concede your first goal of the season. we know it's a fantastic goalkeeper who made fantastic saves again. helped us a lot and in this situation of course he did not what he should have done, but all good. now, hands up if you've also made it four from four, no guesses why chelsea are smiling right now. commentator: lovely play. hazard, 2—0. edin hazard and pedro's late goals against bournemouth kept chelsea level with liverpool in the lead. just behind lurk manchester city. ten years under middle eastern ownership and all the riches that brings. the man that put them ahead against newcastle cost £49 million... sterling. newcastle only had one shot in the first half,

it's all they needed. it left pep plenty to ponder. though not sure giving the ball to kyle walker was part of his halftime team talk. commentator: kyle walker... 0h, whata hit! kyle walker, what a hit. what a way to get your first goal for the club. and his first goal for 111 games. "what a feeling." yeah, it's been a long time coming. i'm just thankful to get the three points, that's the most important thing, and luckily i got on the scoresheet. oh what west ham wouldn't give for results to swing in their favour. the off—field entertainment was unique, the on—field was all too familiar. adama traore's late strike won it for wolves. so what's it like being a west ham fan right now? yeah. ben croucher, bbc news. in the scottish premiership, hearts, without manager craig levein, who continues his recovery after being hospitalised during the week, beat st mirren to make it four wins from four. steven naismith scored a first half hat trick, this his third goal. he made the other as hearts won 4—1 to keep their place at the top of the table.

england's series with india is dramatically poised heading into the fourth day at southampton. they resume this morning on 260—8, that's a lead of 233. england's top order once again struggled with the bat and they looked in real trouble when captainjoe root was run out. but some brilliant batting from jos buttler helped steer the hosts towards a competitive total. he reached his half—century, and although england lost late wickets, they'll still hope they can pull off a victory that would see them clinch the series with one test still to play. 0bviously seeing the wear and tear on the wicket, it spun even in the first innings as well, quite a bit of rough outside the right—hander‘s off stump, so that's promising for moeen and adil, and with the seamers we've seen a bit of variable bounce.

so nice to see the runs on the board. ferrari have their best chance in years of winning their home grand prix later today. that's after kimi raikkonen upset the form book by clocking the fastest lap in the history of formula one during qualifying at monza. it's ferrari's first italian grand prix pole since 2010 when they last won the race. championship rivals sebastian vettel and lewis hamilton start second and third on the grid. we gave it everything we could. it's obviously incredibly close between us, but they've had the upper hand all weekend. everyone in the team is working hard as they can to make the difference. it's incredibly close, as i said, as you can see, which is great for the sport. it's great for the fans, as well as if they're all ferrari fans! novak djokovic is looking in good shape to claim a third us open title. the sixth seed cruised into the last sixteen with a straight sets win over the flamboyant frenchman richard gasquet. djokovic seemed far more comfortable playing under the lights in the evening after having played his first two matches in searing daytime temperatures. djokovic is on course to meet roger federer in the quarter—finals.

including geraint thomas. fresh from his stunning success in the tour de france, he'll be flexing his pedal power on home turf hoping to add a green jersey to the yellow one already in the wardrobe. with eight stages zigzagging around britain, from carmarthen to cumbria and a finish in london, the race teams say they've worked hard to create an unpredictable route with a few surprises along the way, including one in the heart of a small market town in north devon. for the first time in tour of britain history, the cyclists are going to have to go through a building, and it's this victorian pannier market in south molton. it's a place more used to shopping than sporting activities, but those cyclists, the motorcycle out riders and the police cars are all going to have to go through this doorway, and it's going to be a tight squeeze. excitement has been building ever since the call came. everyone seems to have gone bike crazy. it's absolutely fantastic. it was about five months ago i had

this call out of the blue and they asked me if the tour of britain could come through the pannier market. i was totally taken aback and thought it was something else. i said yes. i had to keep it quiet for about three or four months. i couldn't even tell my councillors, i was allowed to tell the mayor and she had to keep it quiet as well. this normally busy building will be cleared and a grandstand built through the night so spectators get the chance to see their cycling heroes at close quarters. i'm a big cycling fan, and having team sky, the other world tour teams riding through here. my son's going to be here watching his hero chris froome ride through, but to have the peloton coming through here, have world stars riding through our town is phenomenal. and stallholders are happy to share their space with visitors and competitors alike. and this is where the cyclists will emerge. at 100m from start to finish, it won't take them long to pass through and head onto the coast.

but the memory of their visit and the impact on this small rural town will last far, far longer. sarah ransome, bbc news, south molton. if you are going out to watch that, plenty of nice weather. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: theresa may says she won't give in to those who want another eu referendum. there's been a big rise in the number of staff caught smuggling banned items into prisons. now here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. is it going to be a good day for all those people looking at the cycling today? yes, a warm one. quite a bit of clout across western parts of the country. the best part is the sunshine further east. we have had

unbroken sunshine. that is how it's going to be. that is courtesy of this wet front foot which will be put sting into parts of western scotland. the city isobars are a bit closer together. a breezy start to the day. the rain will make inroads. we could see the odd spot of rain. we could see the odd spot of rain. we ta ke we could see the odd spot of rain. we take a zoom in and have a look. we take a zoom in and have a look. we consider that the sun as to the sunshine. we could see temperatures in one or two places. turning to build up into the afternoon. we could see some sunny spells.

particularly the moray firth in aberdeenshire. the weather front pushes south eastwards. 0utbreaks aberdeenshire. the weather front pushes south eastwards. outbreaks of rain to eastern and southern scotland. still a double—figure valley of the most. we start the picture on the weak note. it's going to give us a split. something might warn warm across the south—east. writer, some sunshine across scotla nd writer, some sunshine across scotland and northern ireland. feeling cooler. these spots of rain, sunny spells and again, a warm day. that weather front slips. it leaves

a dry picture for tuesday and wednesday. something cooler you notice. the mid teens celsius. it should be dry for most of us. it will feel cooler. we're back with the headlines at 8am. now it's time for the travel show. this week on the show: we're exploring the food scene in ireland's west cork. skibbereen! kayaking britain's coastline in all conditions. and i get a deeply personal tour of sarajevo's still visible war wounds. the hair on my armsjust stood up. i don't know what to say, i've never seen anything like this before.

welcome to west cork. this is the mizen peninsula, the most south—westerly tip of the island of ireland. i've been coming to this part of the world since i was eight years old. people are drawn here by the dramatic scenery, the arts and the great craic. and now they're flocking here for the local cuisine. west cork was recently voted ireland's food capital. the history of the area's as rich and diverse as its food. along the coast, you'll find caves where pirates smuggled their treasures. it's where marconi sent the first tra ns—atla ntic radio transmission to america. and it was here the first famine death was recorded, the first of over one million across ireland, with a further two million people emigrating. so this is the skibbereen saturday market. at the height of summer, i think maybe the best market anywhere in the country.

the freshest mozzarella available in ireland right now. mmmm. it's like lactic poetry. april makes the most astonishing potions. slainte! when we think vinegars, we think it's something that's harsh and aggressive. it's very gentle. and that's gentle. obviously i can taste the apple. mm—hmm. but there's like a berry taste to it or something like that. maybe even the whisky. you're tasting the whisky. whisky? a bit early for the whisky. yeah! the skibbereen market continues to slowly but organically grow and get better. people i think are really realising more and more that the essence of a real experience is when it's grounded in local foods. that's what you want without you're in bangkok or tuscany or west cork. here we go!

bon appetit! skibbereen! mmm. wow, it's a real west cork burger. i've come to meet the fergusons, who run gubbeen, one of the original irish cheese farmhouses here, and they pay to play a huge role in the west cork food scene. giana and herfamily have been making their award—winning cheese for the last 40 years. and is this sort of where you begin creating the flavours and the texture? in a way, although i think the real start of the story is the soil. and, of course, the big flavour is once the cheeses are made and they start to ferment. this is heavier than you'd think. oh my goodness! smells incredible. there you are, the finished products. i think if you're in new york, or if you're in paris or wherever we export to, and you come across this, what your are going

to feel or smell — west cork. that's what i love about this. giana's children are the latest generation working the land. fingal makes the charcuteries, with over 100 different products. the fergusons and other west cork food makers account for 75% of artisan producers across the country. in west cork, not only do you get to taste great food, but you also get the chance to find and explore new ingredients. it's beautiful down here. here we go. jim and maria kennedy run sea kayaking trips all along the coast, where you get to forage for your own food. out on the atlantic looking for dinner. and we don't have to look far. lying in a balkan valley and studded with ancient mosques,

synagogues and churches, it's fair to say that bosnia and herzegovina's stunning capital sarajevo is often unjustly overlooked by tourists. walking around the city, it's easy to always be looking up at the bell towers, the cathedrals, the minarets of the mosques and the beautiful hills. if you do look up, you might miss these, which are down at your feet and you might not even know what you're looking it unless someone told you. these are called sarajevo roses and they mark the impact site of a fatal artillery shell. a couple of years after the war, artists came and filled them in with red resin, and you can see them all over the city. explosions. gunfire. 25 years ago, this was a very different place. bosnian serbs sat in the hills and laid siege to sarajevo as the breakup of yugoslavia led to nationalism and inter—ethnic

violence. 10,000 people died in the city in some of the most horrific fighting europe has seen in modern times. it's cast a long, distressing shadow, and in an attempt to help me understand what it was like being there back then, i've been sent here to a hostel in the city centre. hello. zero 0ne, nice to meet you. zero one is your name? yes — it's my father's war codename. and this is the war hostel? yes, it's just this way. welcome. wow. inside, zero 0ne attempts to simulate the experience of living in sarajevo during a siege. it is definitely something different. there are gunfire sounds that never get switched off, electricity is run from a car

battery, the windows are covered, and you sleep on the floor on a rectangle of foam. i am making the stories come alive here — trying to make them come alive — because when you open a book, you have to imagine. here, you don't need a book, you just need to come and see it and witness it for yourself. some aspects, you understand — some aspects. for instance, one thing i would never like to simulate is the fear of losing something, whether that is your life or yourfamily. this is a high frequency radio. and when there was power, this would be the only connection to the world. underneath the hostel, there is a collection of relics from the war, paraphernalia salvaged from zero 0ne's walks on what used to be the front—line.

and there is the bunker, a recreation of the front—line facility once used by zero 0ne's father from fighting up in the hills. so what we did is we took my dad's memory and we made it real, so that people would understand what it was like. zero 0ne began this projectjust by running tours to demonstrate just how badly damaged the city was during the siege, and how the scars still pockmark the city. so this is what happens when you separate people into us and them. the hairs on my arms just shot up. that was a pretty intense experience.

not exactly for everyone but for me, it was pretty powerful, actually. well, that's it for this week. coming up next week: lucy is in south africa meeting the dancers who are challenging the perceptions ofjohannesburg's most feared neighbourhoods. yeah, yeah! yes! in the meantime, remember, you can follow our adventures on social media. you can find links for those on our website. but now, from me, mike corey and the travel show team good morning welcome to breakfast with christian fraser and victoria fritz. 0ur headlines today: standing firm on brexit — theresa may says she won't give in to those who want another referendum. a big rise in the number of staff caught smuggling banned items into prisons. and video games which allow players to spend money on upgrades and special features will soon carry a warning icon. in sport: under pressure — jose mourinho is again

in the spotlight as misfiring manchester united face a tricky trip to burnley in the premier league. cracking dreyfus bus yesterday. todayis cracking dreyfus bus yesterday. today is looking fairly warm. there is some rain in the the forecast, too. join us later i will have the details for you.
