6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. our headlines today: boris johnson compares theresa may's brexit strategy with putting the uk in a suicide vest, and handing the detonator to brussels. and a re—brand for religious education. the government's told to include world views and humanism as part of the curriculum. high drama at the us open as serena williams loses her cool, and the final. you only an apology. you only an apology! i have never cheated in my life. —— you owe me. apology! i have never cheated in my life. -- you owe me. here in newcastle they are gearing up for the 38th great north run. in a few hours time, thousands of people will be lining up to start from here. some of surrender a good day, with some sunshine. quite warm. in the north of the country it will turn blustery, with plenty of shower was on the way. —— showers. it's sunday, 9th september.
6:01 am
our top story. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has launched a fresh attack on theresa may's brexit plans. writing in the mail on sunday, mrjohnson accuses mrs may of "wrapping a suicide vest around britain and handing the detonator to brussels." let's get more detail on this from our political correspondent helen catt, who's in oui’ london newsroom. pretty extraordinary words that he has used. and that is what is causing much of the controversy? yes, another strongly worded article from borisjohnson against yes, another strongly worded article from boris johnson against theresa may's brexit plans. in his article he calls it a humiliation, describing the uk as a weakling, saying yes sir, no sir to brussels. it is that line he put in, the comparison to a suicide bomber, which is perhaps proving the most inflammatory. mrjohnson says the commitment the government has made to avoid friction at the irish border is like wrapping a suicide vest around the british constitution and handing the detonator to the eu.
6:02 am
that has already drunk this is from some tory mps. that has already drunk this is from some tory mp5. the foreign office minister sir alan duncan says it was too much and that it marked a disgusting moment in modern british politics. tom tugendhat, the chair of the foreign affairs select committee, who served in the army in afghanistan, tweeted a strong condemnation, describing the aftermath of a suicide bomb he saw in helmand province, saying that comparing politics that isn't funny and that some people need to grow up. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has said theresa may will deliver on the referendum and urges the country to unite behind her. we have had news of borisjohnson's divorce before the —— over the weekend. some would say that this is just a destru ctor would say that this is just a destructor and that particular story. others say that there is a definite leadership bid on the cards now. what are the chances that would have to happen, for that to occur? it is unlikely we will see boris johnson walking back from the sort of criticism. there are some who thought that perhaps those revelations about his private life last week might have squashed his
6:03 am
willingness to go out and criticise the prime minister in quite this way. that seems unlikely. we do know there is a concerted effort among some brexiteers within the tory party to, as they put it, chuck chequers. borisjohnson party to, as they put it, chuck chequers. boris johnson is party to, as they put it, chuck chequers. borisjohnson is the poster boy for that flood and think we will see him walking back on that language any time soon. helen, thank you. there was high drama at the us open tennis last night. naomi osaka won the women's title, but that's a side story to what's happened on court. her opponent, serena williams, had a massive row on court with the umpire. the 23—time grand slam champion was warned for smashing her racquet, docked a point for a coaching violation, and then docked a game for calling the umpire a "thief." patrick geary has the details. you owe me an apology. you owe me an apology! i have never cheated in my life. i have a daughter, stand up
6:04 am
for what is right for her... this was not the story tennis wanted or expected. serena williams furious at being warned for receiving coaching, then penalised again for verbal abuse of the umpire. all this in a match she hoped would take to grand slam 24. it truly overshadowed a sensational victory over 20 rolled naomi osaka, playing in a final she had only dreamt of, outclassed by a player she idolised as a girl. serena williams' journey back from childbirth and life—threatening blood clots just one year ago is remarkable in itself, but when this was interpreted as coaching, her theory —— her fury grew was interpreted as coaching, her theory —— herfury grew in was interpreted as coaching, her theory —— her fury grew in the second set. you stole a point from me. you are a thief, too. the escalating row brought in the referees, then cost williams again, leaving hasa kah an referees, then cost williams again, leaving hasakah an awkward bystander in all of this, serving for the title. —— an amazing victory and first grand slam, forever sound tracked by anger. her proudest dating with no little sadness. patrick deary, bbc news. holly joins us now.
6:05 am
extraordinary scenes in new york. what's the reaction been on social media to serena william's outburst? you can imagine, it has been huge. lots of people who were unable to watch it last night on the television have been watching the drama unfold. it was on amazon, wasn't it? that's right, lots of people wouldn't have seen the footage. but seeing the reaction online from the world of tennis. we can show you some tweets. that, to be honest, is the sentiment that has been echoed across social media, that this should have been a only osaka's night. such a huge achievement for her. first japanese grand slam winner. absolutely. you look at the discussions on social media, there are huge rows going on about whether there were underlying elements of racism and sexism in anything the umpire did, which has been furiously denied. but this goes well beyond just that tennis match. it seems to erupt a whole series of issues. it is a conversation that
6:06 am
has been going on for some time, this idea about sexism specifically in tennis. it has been talked about for a while. it was a conversation that was going on just before this erupted during the press conference, when serena williams said that it was sexism, again, something that has been denied. it is a conversation that will run on. the government has been accused of failing to prepare for the potential impact brexit could have on peace and security at the irish border. the chief constable of the police service of northern ireland, george hamilton, says if the border was to return it would be exploited by criminals and terrorists. in an interview with the sunday times he said that some politicians don't understand the dangers. the government said it was "considering" his call for extra resources. rules which prevent some victims of crime from being compensated if they lived with their attacker are being scrapped by the ministry ofjustice. the "same roof rule" was changed in 1979, but not retrospectively, meaning victims from before that time have been refused payouts. last year, more than a £150 million was paid out by the scheme. here's our home affairs correspondent danny shaw.
6:07 am
after a violent crime, what happens to be victims? for over 50 years they have unable to claim compensation under a scheme funded by the state. —— have been able to. at the government says the system needs modernising to reflect the changing nature of crime, so it is starting a review. the compensation scheme review will examine the two—year time limit on bringing claims. if people with convictions for certain offences should be barred from compensation. and whether sexual grooming victims should be able to make claims. currently, they can't. following a court case this summer, ministers are also promising to scrap the so—called same roof rule. it blocks compensation claims from vic is who lived with their attacker before 1979. last year's terror attacks
6:08 am
highlighted concerns about compensation for vic is who had suffered many different types of injury. -- suffered many different types of injury. —— victims. so the review will look at whether payments are set at the right level. whitehall budgets are tight, and the review will consider it a compensation scheme is sustainable and if the proposed changes are affordable. religious education in english schools is outdated and needs to be overhauled to include non—religious beliefs, according to a new report. the independent commission on re wants children to learn about atheism and humanism as well as world faiths. the report authors warn that without change, the subject could wither. the department for education said it would look at the recommendations. swedish voters go to the polls this morning in a general election that has been dominated by the rise of an anti—immigration party. the nationalist sweden democrats are tipped for second place, eight years after they entered parliament. neither the governing social democrats nor the main centre—right party is likely to win a majority. three 14—year—old boys are among
6:09 am
five teenagers who have been charged with murdering a man who was stabbed in nottingham last week. 20—year—old esrom ghide was found in the hyson green area of the city on wednesday afternoon. he was taken to hospital but died a short time later. north korea is staging a huge military parade today to mark the country's 70th anniversary, along with its first mass games in five years. the show of strength will be closely watched for clues about kim jong—un's weapons arsenal after he pledged to get rid of his nuclear missiles. our seoul correspondent, laura bicker, is in the south korean capital. laura, how significant are these events? we arejust beginning we are just beginning to get our first news from the parade, 134
6:10 am
journalists were invited, but not the bbc. what we are hearing is that intercontinental ballistic missiles, normally central to the parade, were not on display. instead, doctors, engineers, factory workers were central to what north korea wanted to show off. there is a huge reason for that. that is because they are currently trying to be in talks with the united states about both disarmament and ending the korean war. when the fighting ended in 1953 it ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. north korea wants to change that. they want a declaration to end the war. many people believe thatis to end the war. many people believe that is because they want us troops off the korean peninsula and away from influencing the korean peninsula. the united states, president trump, once north korea to disarm. that is why the talks have stopped. —— wants north korea to disarm. but this huge parade has taken place, disarm. but this huge parade has ta ken place, but disarm. but this huge parade has taken place, but i have to tell you,
6:11 am
without the usual military hardware which is usually on display. that is interesting, isn't it, just in itself. laura bicker, thank you. a different kind of show on the tv last night. it's the biggest dance show on television, and last night strictly come dancing returned in a blaze of sequins and sparkles. the 15 celebrities found out which professional dancer they'd be paired up with. despite no scores on the paddle boards, it gave the judges and the viewers at home a chance to see the dancer's natural talent before they are put through their paces in rehearsals. iadmire them i admire them all. to even have the guts to do that. there is kate silverton. she did very well. speaking of people who have made headlines for dancing. the prime minister got in on the act. she, perhaps, rather tongue in cheek, offered to share tips
6:12 am
with the contestants. it comes after she showed off her dance moves during her recent trip to africa. somebody suggested we should look at those dance clips again and i said, no, too excruciating. do you know what. .. no, too excruciating. do you know what... no, no, too excruciating. do you know what. .. no, nobody no, too excruciating. do you know what... no, nobody cares. yes, they do! good to her. it fought -- good on herfor giving a go. broken racquets, a game docked, and more boos than a pantomime — it's fair to say last night's us open women's final was a first for tennis in more ways than one. there was plenty of emotion as naomi osaka secured herfirst grand slam title, but also much controversy after her opponent, serena williams, had a huge row with the umpire. former british number one annabel croft commentated on the game. she gave us her reaction. i don't think i have personally
6:13 am
witnessed anything like the atmosphere and drama that unfolded atmosphere and drama that unfolded at arthur ashe stadium this evening in new york. it was a bearpit atmosphere. the crowd were rounding on the umpire and the whole situation was getting out of control. it was very, very dramatic. it was very sad on both parts. i am sure there are people who felt for serena williams because her coach was effectively coaching her from the sidelines, which was... you know, she couldn't stop what he was doing, obviously. i'm not even sure if she was aware he was doing it. but that is also her responsibility. then there was the situation with naomi osaka at the other end of the court, not able to enjoy this wonderful moment, being the first japanese player to ever win a grand slam. it was an extraordinary drama, and as! slam. it was an extraordinary drama, and as i said, i'd never witnessed anything quite like it. it has got people talking. this from billiejean it has got people talking. this from billie jean king.
6:14 am
it has got people talking. this from billiejean king. she says, when a woman is emotional, she is hysterical and penalised. when a man does the same, he is outspoken and there are no repercussions. thank you for calling out this double standard. more voices are needed to do the same, and i suspect a row over her behaviour will rumble for a while longer. just a curiosity as to where annabel croft was when she gave us that information. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has launched his most outspoken attack yet on theresa may's brexit plans, comparing the chequers deal to a suicide vest. a new report says religious education in english schools is outdated and needs to be overhauled to include non—religious beliefs such as atheism and humanism. thomasz is here with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. is it a great start for us? yes, it is a little bit. it
6:15 am
is pretty drizzly and raining out there, but quite mild. temperatures and ourago there, but quite mild. temperatures and our ago were around 15, 16 degrees this early in the morning, so we're not doing battle that side of things. the weather is looking pretty messy today. whenever you see this on a weather map, low pressure, weather fronts, isobars, this on a weather map, low pressure, weatherfronts, isobars, there is a lot going on out there. through the course of today we will see cloud and rain sweeping across parts of scotland. hit and miss the rain, but some of it will be heavy at times and maybe some showers further south as well. but there will be some sunshine in the forecast. despite all that, there is some good weather. the weather is looking absolutely fine on the south coast. if you squint, i note it is early and hard to see, but these little blobs of blue, almost like little
6:16 am
bacteria or something, the best way to describe it, those are showers, pockets of rain, a bit of sunshine, a bit of rain, sunshine, but strong wind across some —— scotland later today. it could be gusting in excess of 50 miles an hour. starting to get into that autumn flavour across the north of the country. really blustery across shortland —— scotland. temperatures will be around 13 in london on monday morning. tomorrow, actually isn't looking too bad at all. we have sunshine across much of england and wales, but look at this late in the day, probably from around one shall —— lunchtime onwards, it will start a cloud over and there is some rain on the way. another decent day in the south with temperatures around 20 to 22 degrees. on tuesday, a long
6:17 am
weather front stretching all the way up weather front stretching all the way up on the atlantic, so stretches all the way and basically either side of that you have a couple of things happening. you have colder airfrom the north atlantic, warmer air pretty much from the mediterranean and it looks as though the south is the winner, as is often the case. we will see warmer weather. southern areas could see temperatures by tuesday up to 25 celsius. further north, grey skies and out rates of rain will get the caller current of airoff the rain will get the caller current of air off the north atlantic. the weather is in fact over the coming days all over the place, notjust today. back to you. thank you very much. we will check back in wikileaks just much. we will check back in wikileaksjust in much. we will check back in wikilea ks just in case much. we will check back in wikileaks just in case it has changed. we'll bring you the headlines at 6:30. time now on breakfast for the film review. can hardly wait. hello and welcome to the film review.
6:18 am
to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. welcome. very interesting week. we have american animals, which is stranger—than—fiction true story. we have the nun, an un—frightening frightener. and we have puzzle, which is a romance set against the backdrop of competitive jigsaw puzzling. promising! american animals. let's start there. that to me seems like a peculiar conceit as well — trying to steal some books from a library? it's a very strange story. based on a true story of this university heist from kentucky in 2004, a group of hapless young men decided they were going to steal these rare books from a university library. and the film basically centres on the central introverted character spencer, played by barry keoghan, and warren, played by evan peters,
6:19 am
who is described as being the spice, the person who brings the element of chaos. what happens is we see these youngsters who are basically dissolute, who feel that their lives aren't going anywhere, they feel they are not fulfilling their potential, suddenly decide that they're going to pull off a heist, despite the fact that they have absolutely no idea how to do it and there being very little chance of being able to pull it off. here's a clip. the cameras aren't cameras — they're motion detectors. we're going to e—mail the library asking to have the audubon and the illuminated manuscript on display when we arrive. they will be here, and here. please don't touch it. as i was saying, here is target priority number one, the audubon. directly behind the display case is a doorway which leads to a staff elevator that goes straight to the basement. now, once in the basement,
6:20 am
we can access the fire exit at the side of the building. where is the librarian? thank you. the librarian is the single biggest risk to this entire operation. she needs to become a non—factor as soon as possible. so what's interesting about this is on the one hand, you have the tension between the dramatised story and the actual real—life events being told to us in ways that contradict each other, so you get that kind of unreliable narrator thing. the other thing is that basically, it's a character study about how it is that these boys decide to pull off this heist. their planning is that they watch a bunch of heist movies like rififi, and point break and reservoir dogs. they say all the way through no—one is going to get hurt, but they haven't figured out how no—one is going to get hurt.
6:21 am
it is like watching a car crash unfolding in slow motion. it's got this really interesting take on the way in which they feel like their lives somehow aren't coming together and somehow, doing this is going to give them some sense of purpose. also, they all talk each other into doing it, despite the fact that it's completely haphazard. and what i liked about the film is that when it needs to get dark, it's not afraid of doing so. i mean, there is an underlying sort of growing horror about what happens and how it happens and now, looking back on it, reflecting, and also, as i said, all the way through you get this tension between the real narratives and the dramatised narratives. i thought it was really fascinating, but, primarily, because it's a character study. it's about them as characters and about how this completely sort of half—witted thing came together. also, about that myth of no—one will get hurt. second film, the nun. i believe your son had a very, very strong critique of it?
6:22 am
my teenage son. he has been to seen all of the — this is from the conjuring cinematic universe. i know you are a huge fan of all of those films like annabelle. this is a prequel. i went with my son because, brilliantly, my son likes horror movies like i do. we both agreed it was the most boring horror movie we'd seen in a very long time. it's set in a remote convent. a satanic force is threatening to break out in the form of this nun that basically looks like a bad marilyn manson impersonator. we have a priest and the most irritating psychic in movie history whose catchline is "i'm french—canadian" — yes, it's that funny — and all the way through, you're waiting for these bang scares so that you willjump. i promise you — the only moment ago in the film when ijumped when i was watching and became so bored, i started to fall asleep. you know that thing where you're about to fall asleep and you suddenly find yourself falling asleep and you jump? and that was the only moment in the film. so, it was quite nice seeing it with someone who was absolutely target audience and has seen all the other ones and i said, "was itjust me, or was that the most dullest horror film
6:23 am
"you've ever seen?" he said, "no, it is absolutely terrible." i would probably like it because i am a wuss. you would be bored. it's filmed in these drab grey colours. it is only half—lit and the story is really ponderous. i will tell you how bad it is — there is a sequence in it where someone is buried alive and i'm really claustrophobic. that face that you're pulling now is my reaction to somebody getting buried alive. in this scene, i literally don't care. it's that bad. at least it's set in transylvania, which is a bit...oooh, isn't it? it's set in this kind of gothic castle with people wandering around very slowly, doing sort of... it's rubbish — it's rubbish. i will take your word for it, but i do like the sound of puzzle. who knew that such a thing as competitive puzzling even existed? i had no idea. this takes inspiration from a 2009 argentinian film, an award winning film which i confess i have not seen. kelly macdonald plays this
6:24 am
mousy housewife was put upon by her husband and by her family. she spends her whole life clearing up after other people. we see a party at the beginning and we don't even realise it is her party because she's clearing up after her birthday. she is given a jigsaw puzzle and it seems to be very calming and she said herfriend, "where did you get the jigsaw puzzle from?" she says it's from a shop in new york, so she goes to the shop and sees an advertisement for a partner for competitive jigsaw puzzling. she answers it on a whim and the next thing is she meets up with a strange inventor who hit it lucky once and now dedicates his life to puzzling. and it's something that they have in common. here's a clip. why are we wasting all this time doing puzzles? what else is there to do? it's a childish hobby for bored people. you know that's not true. tell me you're not a bored rich guy. tell me i'm not a childish housewife. no, that is not what you are. you've much more important things to do.
6:25 am
you're a man of ideas. why do you do these stupid puzzles? it's a way to control the chaos. that's ridiculous. come on. you're missing the point. 0k. what is the point, robert? life is messy. it does not make any sense. sorry to break the news to you. life is just random. see, i love the interaction between those two characters. i love the way they are both played. i love how understated it is. and what happens is, when you go into it, you think, "ok, i'm not entirely sure this is going to work." you get completely drawn in. you see her start to find her feet, start to find her own, you know, her individuality and her independence. you see this relationship with them,
6:26 am
which is played out over jigsaw puzzles. and it becomes a story of somebody breaking out of the confines of a rather suffocating life. i thought it was really, really touching. you know, the best films kind of creep up on you — i mean, not creep up on you the way that the nun creeps up on you, or doesn't — but you don't realise that involved you are until you find yourself being swept up. that was really, really touching and charming. not least because those two central performances, and the central characters — you want to know more about them. i thought it was great. i think you would really like it. i think i will. i'll never look at a jigsaw puzzle in the same way again. i never knew there were such a thing as competitive jigsaw! neither did i. i should look out for it. best out is cold war. it should be austere, is it not? it's basically a romance that plays out over 15 years. it was inspired by the story of the director's, pawel pawlikowski's, parents.
6:27 am
it starts in poland in the late ‘40s and goes over 15 years and crosses boundaries — musical and personal and political. you know, its four by three, square frame, black and white. you would think it is kind of... but it is not. it's really passionate, it has got real heart to it. it's about this relationship. they cannot be with each other, they cannot be apart from each other. i thought it was wonderful. i've seen it a couple of times. the second time around — you know, the best films, when you see them the second time around, you notice a whole lot of stuff you didn't see the first time? also, it's a long time period that it covers, but the film itself is 90 minutes. it's really compact and it's beautifully told. and it reminded me, i mean, isay this — it reminded me a little bit of casablanca. the story is nothing like casablanca, but it has that kind of archetypal romance thing, and i thought it was really beautiful and i loved it. and i love the fact that it was inspired by the story of his parents — although it is not the story of his parents, theyjust inspired the characters.
6:28 am
again, you really should see it in the cinema if you have a chance. best dvd, mary shelley. yes. i picked this because it kind of got overlooked in the cinema. it is the story of mary shelley writing frankenstein. you know, some critics were kind of quite harsh on it, saying that it was taking liberties with the facts. i felt it didn't really, i thought it did a really good job. i mean, it's not perfect but what it is is interesting, it's kind of trying to reclaim the story, it's trying to tell it in a slightly different way. again, i went into it worrying that i wouldn't get on with it and i did, and it didn't do terrifically well in the cinemas but now, you can catch up on things that you missed out in cinemas with dvds, and it is definitely worth giving it a go because i thought it was much better than people give it credit for. thank you very much as always. thank you. a quick reminder before we go that you will find more film news and reviews online on the bbc website. and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that is our week. thank you for watching.
6:29 am
bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has launched a fresh attack on theresa may's brexit plans. writing in the mail on sunday, mrjohnson accuses the prime minister of wrapping a suicide vest around britain and handing the detonator to brussels. his language has already been criticised by some tory mps. the foreign office minister, alan duncan called his remarks "disgusting." the government has been accused of failing to prepare for the potential impact which brexit could have on peace and security at the irish border. the chief constable of the police service of northern ireland, george hamilton, says if the border was to return it would be exploited by criminals and terrorists. in an interview with the sunday times he says that some politicians don't understand the dangers.
6:30 am
the government says it is considering his call for extra resources. rules which prevent some victims of crime from being compensated if they lived with their attacker are being scrapped by the ministry ofjustice. the "same roof rule" was changed in 1979, but not retrospectively, meaning victims from before that time have been refused payouts. the move is part of a government review to "improve access" to compensation. religious education in english schools is outdated and needs to be overhauled to include non—religious beliefs according to a new report. the independent commission on re wants children to learn about atheism and humanism as well as world faiths. the report authors warn that without change, the subject could wither. the department for education said it would look at the recommendations. swedish voters go to the polls this morning in a general election that
6:31 am
has been dominated by the rise of an anti—immigration party. the nationalist sweden democrats are tipped for second place, eight years after they entered parliament. neither the governing social democrats nor the main centre—right party is likely to win a majority. three 14—year—old boys are among five teenagers who have been charged with murdering a man who was stabbed in nottingham last week. 20—year—old esrom ghide was found in the hyson green area of the city on wednesday afternoon. he was taken to hospital but died a short time later. the number of near—misses in uk skies has risen by 60% in five years according to research by the bbc. the number of accidents reported to the air accident investigation branch rose from 654 accidents in 2013 to 708 in 2017. pilots blamed the rise on increasingly busy skies and the use of drones. those are the main stories this
6:32 am
morning. holly is here with the sport. events in new york overnight are what is making the headlines this morning? extraordinary scenes. we should really be sitting here this morning talking about naomi osaka's achievement, winning the us open. perhaps we could be talking about serena williams winning her 24th grand slam title. but we're really focusing on this outburst, the idea of sexism has been raised yet again around serena williams. but it was quite upsetting to watch. she is visibly quite upset. let's can she is visibly quite upset. let's ca n exa ctly she is visibly quite upset. let's can exactly what happened. naomi osaka has become the first japanese woman to win a grand slam title, beating serena williams at the us open. the match though will be remembered for several outbursts from williams who argued with the match umpire which left her in tears. first williams was given a code violation after the umpire had accused her of receiving coaching from her coach in the first set which she lost 6—2. she recieved a point penalty for smashing her racket as the match
6:33 am
appeared to move away from her in the second. she called the umpire a thief, which led to a game penalty. in the second set, she went from 4—3 down to 5—3, before saving hers service game, osaka then serving out 6—4 in the second set. i can't sit here and say i wouldn't say he was a thief, because i thought he took a game from me. that i have seen other men call other umpires several things, and i'm here fighting for women's rights and women's equality, and boral kinds of stuff. and for me to say it eats, and for him to take a game, i'd made me feel like it was a sexist remark. he has never taken a game from a man. because i said beef? i mean, it blows my mind. but i'm going to
6:34 am
continue to fight for women and to fight for us to have equal... we should be able to take our shirt off without getting a fine. i mean, this is outrageous, you know? and ijust feel like fact that i have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions and that wants to express themselves, that wants to be a strong woman, and they are going to be allowed to do that because of today. maybe it didn't work out the me but it will work out for the next person. —— work out for me. britain's jamie murray won a fourth grand slam mixed doubles title alongside partner bethanie mattek sands. the pair had to fight back from a set down against croatia's nikola mektic and poland's alicja rosolska, before going on to win the championship tie—break11—9. and congratulations to alfie hewett and gordon reid, won the wheelchair doubles title, and andy lapthorne, who won the quad wheelchair doubles, with partner david wagner. england were beaten 2—1 by spain at wembley in the nations league,
6:35 am
their first match since the world cup. they made the perfect start when marcus rashford, one of three changes to the side that lost against croatia, opened the scoring. spain manged to level just two minutes later. and rodrigo moreno then took advantage of poor marking at a free—kick to score the winner from close range after 32 minutes. we've got to keep faith in the way we are trying to play, otherwise we go back to what we did historically. there is no way i believe we will ever be a top ten if we do that. so we've got to be brave enough to stick to our principles, and just get better at what we are doing and identify how we improve. but that is not going to be an easy task, because you can see the level of the top teams, and right across the sun
6:36 am
isaid we top teams, and right across the sun i said we were under no illusions about that. —— the summer. well, there was a worrying moment during the second half, when manchester united defender luke shaw had to be stretchered off with a head injury. but he tweeted later that he was fine and in the best possible hands. northern ireland had a disappointing start to their nations league campaign, losing 2—1 to bosnia—herzegovina. michael o'neill‘s side had the better of the early chances but it was the visitors who opened the scoring and then made it 2—0 after a defensive mix—up. wigan's will grigg did pull a goal back in injury time but it turned out to be just a consolation. england are in control of the fifth and final test against india at the oval. going into the third day india are 174/6 in reply to england's first innings of 332. england already have an unassailable 3—1 lead in the series. jos buttler‘s 89 dragged england back into the match. he shared 98 for the ninth wicket with stuart broad, who hung around for an hour and a half for his 38 runs. james anderson then claimed two wickets and is now three away from overtaking australia's glenn
6:37 am
mcgrath as the most successful fast bowler in the history of the game. the first time, it was a number legal opportunity to come back in and play. the fire was really burning protest cricket. i was very excited. the best thing about it has been being able to maintain that, i feel very privileged to play. in rugby union's premiership, there were wins for saracens, exeter, and leicester, while gloucester threw away a 21—0 lead to draw 31—31 with bath in a thrilling game at the rec. a superb danny cipriani pass paved the way for matt banahan to help gloucester draw level. 31—31 it finished. one match in super league's super 8s. it was top versus bottom as st helens travelled to challenge cup winners catalans dragons. with 10 minutes to go, the catalan dragons were winning. but st helen's responded with a latejonny lomax try,
6:38 am
and a danny richardson goal in the last ten minutes of the game. and they kept going. in the last five minutes a try from morgan knowles made the final score 26—22. britain's simon yates has retaken the lead at the tour of spain, the vuelta a espana. he broke free of the pack in the final kilometre to win stage 14. the victory puts him back in the red race leader's jersey that he lost tojesus herrada three days ago. yates leads alejandro valverde by twenty seconds in the overall standings with seven stages remaining. whilst at the tour of britain, team sky's ian stannard claimed the first british victory of this year's race with a solo breakaway win on the penultimate stage. overall leaderjulian alaphillipe finished in the peleton to maintain his 17 second lead going into sunday's final stage. olympic champion greg rutherford jumped for the last time in his career at the great north
6:39 am
games in newcastle yesterday. 7 metres 38 was his final leap into the sandpit, but greg will be remembered for taking long jump gold on super saturday at the london olympics. he retires as one of only five british athletes to have won olympic, world, commonwealth and european gold medals. it was remarkably emotional, that final round. i had been ignoring the fa ct final round. i had been ignoring the fact this was going to be the last one all—day, i was just trying to enjoy it. all of a sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks. i stood on the track, and that was the last time i was ever going to run down as an professional long jump. an incredible sendoff. probably one of the most memorable for me, the way the most memorable for me, the way the crowd got behind me, it was wonderful. and we're sending our best wishes to four—time olympic champion michaeljohnson, who is recovering at home after suffering a "mini—stroke." johnson, who held both the 200 and 400 metres olympic titles, and held the world records for both, tweeted that he had suffered
6:40 am
the stroke last week. now then, if you were lucky enough to go away on holiday this summer, did you enjoy a little cliff diving? thought not. take a look at this. plunging off a tower perched on the famous bridge at mostar in bosnia and herzegovina, britain's gary hunt recorded his third victory on the bounce as the cliff diving world series held its penultimate event yesterday. six—time world champion hunt now moves ahead of american steven loube in the world series rankings. i love that phrase, on the bounce. you would hope not! the kids do go clickjumping, in you would hope not! the kids do go click jumping, in cornwall and devon. not that high. and you have to land feet first. and you have to know where you are jumping. i really worry about that. it just terrifies me, the idea ofjumping off that.|j
6:41 am
am me, the idea ofjumping off that.” am with you. i will not be doing that any time soon. now, greg rutherford was at the great north games in newcastle yesterday. and thousands of you will be getting ready to take part in this morning's great north run. among them will be sir mo farah. the 4—time olympic champion is bidding for a fifth—consecutive victory. limbering up near the start line in newcastle is our reporter, alison freeman. good morning, alison. you are all on your own at the moment but they will be lots of other people there later? yeah, we don't get to see newcastle central motorway looking like this very often. in fact, it is about once a yearfor the very often. in fact, it is about once a year for the great north run. injusta once a year for the great north run. injust a few once a year for the great north run. in just a few hours, we will see 58,000 people, that is the number of people who have registered to run that 13.1 mile route, from here in newcastle to the coast in south shields. now, as you say, mo farah will be at the front of the pack, but every single person behind him has a different reason to running.
6:42 am
so many people running this charity. every year, the great north run a tt ra cts every year, the great north run attracts tens of thousands of competitors, from the fun running fa ncy competitors, from the fun running fancy dresses to the elite runners, and of course the odd superhero. this year, 58,000 people have registered to take part, and each has a story to tell, and a different reason to running. at the front of the pack, for the 58 great north run, will be the legendary mo farah, hoping to win the event for a fifth time. i love taking part in the great north run. it is great to see so many people taking part and just enjoying this sport. nice to meet you, how are you doing? last year, he met matt haddon, and man with cancer who wanted to kick the great north run of his bucket list before he died. mo farah was first across the line, and matt was last. match
6:43 am
was a fighting guy and he told himself, no matter what, was a fighting guy and he told himself, no matterwhat, i'm was a fighting guy and he told himself, no matter what, i'm going to get through it, and he did. you think ina to get through it, and he did. you think in a way that sums up the spirit of the great north run? think in a way that sums up the spirit of the great north rumm think in a way that sums up the spirit of the great north run? it is a great spirit and the great north run is all about being able to support people. the course starts in the middle of newcastle and takes in some of the north—east‘s most famous landmarks, including the tyne bridge behind me and the stage. and one of the people who will be helping to kick off this year's race is catherine switzer. she is no stranger to inspiring people. in 1967 she became the first woman to run the boston marathon, despite attem pts run the boston marathon, despite atte m pts to run the boston marathon, despite attempts to pull her off the course. five years later, women were finally allowed to officially compete in the
6:44 am
race. we still have a long way to go. many women are restricted right poverty, by social and cultural restrictions. but running can ove rco m e restrictions. but running can overcome that. what appeals to me most about the great north run is the fact that anybody can come out and do it and take part. it is also huge for charities. people go out and watch this race and they see somebody go by and they say, if that person can do it, i can do it. that is one of the most inspiring things about running. you are never too old. you can do it. when they lead from here just after ten o'clock this morning, they are hoping to make a record—breaking win. challenging for the title will be new zealand's jack robertson, vivien cherry is the women's favourite. the action starts a ten o'clock, and the women after that
6:45 am
and that 10:40 o'clock, and the women after that and that10:40 a.m., o'clock, and the women after that and that 10:40 a.m., most arab leaders than men and thousands of people who will be filling the lanes of the road. we will be hearing more of the road. we will be hearing more of their personal stories in around an hour's time. —— mo farah. it looks like perfect running conditions. thomas, confirm what we think. perfect running conditions? it depends what you like, but it is looking pretty good. there will be some showers around at temperatures, it is better to run in those sorts of temperatures than something warm that we would experience in the south. global role, not so bad. a bit of a breeze later for the run. it is picking up banks it is low pressure that is heading in our direction. the wind will be picking up direction. the wind will be picking upa lead direction. the wind will be picking up a lead through the morning into the afternoon. it is pretty grey out there, there are some rain in
6:46 am
newcastle, a couple of showers. most of the rain is going across scotland. later in the day, across large swathes of the country, sunshine should come out will stop maybe not necessarily a sunny day, but right at the very least. there isa but right at the very least. there is a look at two o'clock in the afternoon, fine on the south coast, lustily around some of those headlands. 23 in london. there is newcastle at 3pm, 18 degrees with a couple of showers. the most frequent showers are the north of northern ireland, across scotland and brisk winds out here in western scotland. later on today, just could exceed 50 miles an hour. that is a gale force wind blowing off the atlantic and bringing frequent showers and that will be going through scotland through the course of this evening and overnight. by the early hours of the morning it should the out of the way. the morning it should the out of the by the morning it should the out of the way. by sam, the winds will die down across the uk, breezy in the north, but a lot of clear whether around.
6:47 am
monday morning to work starts off sunny across much of the country then the clouds, can see the haze increases across the northern two thirds of the uk. then the rain moving from another weather front that comes in and that is the belfast for the lake district, but the western scotland. the south on monday in the morning and the afternoon is absolutely fine. is weather front is bringing afternoon is absolutely fine. is weatherfront is bringing up a bit ofa weatherfront is bringing up a bit of a headache. we don't know whether it will be here or here a bit further north or south, a bit of a wobble. that is very important because either side of this weather front we have warm air from the south, cool air from the front we have warm air from the south, cool airfrom the north, so if you can imagine the buffer zone could be further this way, further that way. but the indication is that southern areas of the country, southampton, london, maybe even into east anglia and part of the midlands will be very warm on tuesday. 25 degrees. but in northern ireland and
6:48 am
scotla nd degrees. but in northern ireland and scotland it is going to stay damp with temperatures, and cloudy, temperatures in the mid— teens. good luck to everybody in the run today. we'll have all the headlines at 7:00. but first, it's time for the travel show. first up on the programme, we had to ibiza. known for its nightlife and sunsets. what is it like hitting the famous dance there in a wheelchair? alex taylor agreed to take us for a spin to find out. home to a world—famous spin to find out. home to a world —famous nightlife scene spin to find out. home to a world—famous nightlife scene for decades strong. the club is worldwide. —— booklovers full ——
6:49 am
clu b worldwide. —— booklovers full —— club lovers. i'm staying in a hotel with space on the facilities they need. i feel myself on the dance floor. i'm not a chair, i'm not a person in a chair, i'mjust...|‘m me. but i'm not wasting any time. we're heading straight out to ocean beach for one of their famous pool parties. i had a fantastic time here last year and the access was actually really good. i always find it's a bit odd how much attention i get on the dance floor. it can be fun to have people always asking me for selfies, but i think it also shows how long we've got to go before seeing a wheelchair on the dance floor is the norm and not a novelty. back at the hotel and i'm ready for our first night out, and we are heading to pasha.
6:50 am
one way in which ibiza has made progress with accessibility is with its taxis, many of which are wheelchair accessible. when we arrive at pasha, it was a good start. a member of security spotted us and guided us through a side door into the garden. we tried to enter the club, but were greeted with three steps and no ramp. so we were stuck in the garden. it wasn't until almost half an hour later that someone noticed us and showed us in through a fire exit. after a bit of a dance, i wanted to check out the toilet. they had no bars or anything that would actually help you to use
6:51 am
the toilet as a wheelchair user with mobility issues. so, we're going to call it a night. since filming, pasha say that they are sorry for the way i was initially treated when i arrived at their club. in a statement, they say: accessibility laws in ibiza are similar to those in the uk, stating that businesses must make reasonable adjustments to cater for those with access issues. tonight, we are heading to the world—famous amnesia.
6:52 am
last year i had a pretty bad experience there and i'm hoping things might have changed. no, i don't have a ticket. i'm with alex. i have a ticket. i have one ticket. so, just like last year, they wanted to charge my carer to enter. so that would add an extra 55 euros on to the cost, and i can't really afford that. there's no way that he can go in without me. you need a ticket also. but i'm his carer. it's not fair. it cost a lot of money, you see. so i don't have a choice, because i have to have her help. if it was you, what would you do? after about five minutes of arguing, the security guard backed down. however, once i was inside,
6:53 am
the disabled access was fantastic and i felt really welcome. after filming, we contacted amnesia about my experiences but they did not respond. despite all of this, nothing will stop me from going clubbing, because when i'm on the dance floor, i feel free. to wrap up this week, i'm in alexandra, a township in south africa's largest city, johannesburg, and home to a sensational form of street dance. combining high—energy routines with eye—popping fashion, this is pa ntsula. this style of dancing
6:54 am
is absolutely incredible. it's fast paced, it's energetic... ..and its technical. but for young south africans, it's so much more than this. it's a movement that encapsulates storytelling, fashion and social expression. and just look at those dance moves. my mind is just blown! for via vyndal, everything in their act holds a special significance — from their moves to their costumes. and their clothes are the colours of the national flag. pantsula, it's a local culture. you would never get it anywhere in the suburbs. whatever we do,
6:55 am
we're telling our stories, background stories, through dance. so, you tailor dance moves depending on how you are feeling, what kind of story you are trying to tell? that's how we create stories. i can even sit home and be watching tv and be like, gents, let's just try this move and be like... all of us, like, you know, like together. can you do that, like all together? just that once. one, two, one, two. you guys are always ready. yeah. i love that! from growing up in this poor neighbourhood, the group has gone on to international acclaim. position one goes to... applause. in 2017, director danny boyle handpicked them to perform at one of new york's most prestigious venues — carnegie hall. we really killed the stage. it was a peak experience, especially because, to be honest, it was our first time on the plane.
6:56 am
and being in new york, it was something different. you could tell that we were far away from home. now, i read that one of you cried tears ofjoy. who was that? you're denying it now. no shame. no embarrassment. the background of the dance is closely tied to the history of the nation. we're on our way to the biggest township in south africa — soweto. here, the pa ntsula has a deeply political message. soweto has a reputation for activism. it was home to nelson mandela during apartheid in the years prior to his arrest. pantsula has its roots in the same era. it matched contemporary forms with traditional african dance — an act of cultural defiance against the oppressive white government.
6:57 am
talk to me about the kind of social and political messages that you express when you dance. the first political message is to be seen as black people. we are powerful, you know. the second is we're trying to tell the world that we're still free, but we're still bearing a lot of problems. we still have to push ourselves. and we have to push ourselves, like, 10 times harder than any other individual. this teacher and performer has offered to show me some beginner steps. i've heard a lot about this train step. i know nothing about it. tell me about it. it is named for the mimicking of the effect that the trains are used. this is the first.
6:58 am
and then we go back. that's it. now, you're gonna be fast, because the train is going fast. can't get on the train slow. you've got it! yes! i think i need a little bit more practice, though. sadly, that's all we've got time for this week. join us next time when... carmen's in australia, heading to a resort that's going crazy for crypto currency.
