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. 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. ok, so we're going to pay by litecoin.

and the final. you owe me an apology. you owe me an apology, i have never cheated in my life! teach children world views and humanism in re. experts say the subject is outdated and needs to reform. here in newcastle, final preparations are under way for the 38th great north run. injust a preparations are under way for the 38th great north run. in just a few hours 58,000 people will be lining up hours 58,000 people will be lining up here to take part. well, some of us are up here to take part. well, some of us are actually in for a pretty good day, with some sunshine, and quite warm. in the north of the country it will turn blustery and plenty of showers on the way. it's sunday, 9th september. 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 is in oui’ london newsroom. helen, tell us what else mrjohnson has said? well, this is not the first time borisjohnson has criticised theresa may's brexit plan since he resigned from the cabinet over that chequers plan. in this article he describes it as plan. in this article he describes itasa plan. in this article he describes it as a humiliation, saying it will make the uk look like a weakling, saying yes sir, no sir to brussels. it is the language he uses when it comes to describing the government's commitment to avoiding friction at the irish border, the so—called backstop, which has proved the most inflammatory. it is this which he describes as like wrapping a suicide vest around the british constitution and handing the detonator to the eu. this sort of language has already drawn criticism from some conservative mps. the foreign office minister sir alan duncan, for example, said the comparison was too much and that it marked a disgusting

moment in british politics. there is strong condemnation to from the chair of the foreign affairs select committee, tom tugendhat. he is an army officer who served in afghanistan, a former army officer, and he described the aftermath of a suicide bombing that he saw in hell mind province, saying that comparing the prime minister to that isn't funny and some people need to grow up. —— helmand. foreign secretary jeremy hunt defended the prime minister's plan today, saying that the position be strengthened if the party united behind her. helen, thank you. 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. the government says it is considering his call for extra resources. there was high drama at the us 0pen tennis last night.

naomi 0saka 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 racket, 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, i stand up 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 her to grand slam 24. it truly overshadowed a sensational victory for 20—year—old naomi 0saka, playing in a final she had only dreamt of, outclassing a player she idolised asa 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 fury grew in the second set. you stole a point from me. you're a thief, too. the escalating row brought in the referees, then cost williams again, leaving 0sa ka an awkward bystander in all of this, serving for the title. an amazing victory and first grand slam, forever soundtracked by angry boos. her proudest day ending with no little sadness. patrick geary, bbc news. holly joins us now. it is interesting, looking at the reactions we are getting this morning. some people say serena williams has a point. most people, i think, are saying that she is a bad loser, because the match was going against her, so she threw her toys out of the pram. what have other people been saying, in terms of the tennis world? you are absolutely right, it has split opinion. lots of

people tweeting to say this really should have been naomi 0saka's night. it should have been a celebration of the victory but instead we are talking about this. a huge reaction from the world of tennis. we can see some of those twea ks just tennis. we can see some of those tweaks just now. —— tweets. so that is the sentiment that is being echoed not just so that is the sentiment that is being echoed notjust in the world of tennis but people who have been watching this online, watching this on amazon prime last night, in disbelief at the reaction. really huge reaction on social media, and i would say it is something that is going to run on. 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. in the last few moments, the polls have opened in sweden's general election. it 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. 0ur europe reporter gavin lee is in the country's capital, stockholm. gavin, good morning. given neither of those main parties is likely to wina of those main parties is likely to win a majority, how important would the rise of this right—wing party proved to be? they are a subject, and therefore migration has become a subject, because that is the biggest platform that they are talking up. stopping more migration into sweden. all of the other parties have actually formed around, talking about how to stop them, they are seen about how to stop them, they are seen as about how to stop them, they are seen as very much anti— migrant and anti—eu as well, and they are the third largest party, but up until now, the other parties have largely

ignored them and been able to, with their own policies forming together. this time it doesn't look like any major party will get a majority. the ce ntre—left major party will get a majority. the centre—left party, the social democrats, who have been the dominant force and is 1917, suddenly expecting in the polls their worst results yet. they still expect about 20%. you have got a centre—right moderates on about 20% as well and the sweden democrats around 17%. they could be, some polls say, the second—biggest party. say they are not racist. many other parties here say that they are completing crime issues and are jumping say that they are completing crime issues and arejumping on say that they are completing crime issues and are jumping on the populist bandwagon. the polls close at eight o'clock and we will have a sense of the results around that time as well. 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 use of drones is being partly blamed for the increase, with 93 near misses last year compared to none at all five years ago. the civil aviation authority said the uk safety record was "one of the best" in the world. north korea a huge military parade today to mark the country's 70th anniversary, along with its first mass games in five years. no scores on the paddle boards for strictly come dancing. just to give them a chance to see the kind of quality of talent on offer this year. it takes real guts, i think.

takes real guts to do it. yeah. if somebody last night, i currently do it was, they said they had only ever danced when they were drunk. i think that might apply to a good number of them. doing it when you are sober, in front of millions of people, that isa in front of millions of people, that is a fairly intimate thing. a bit of dad dancing, i'm sure. speaking of which. and the prime minister got in on the act — she, perhaps, rather tongue in cheek, offered to share tips with the contestants, it comes after she showed off her dance moves during her recent trip to africa. at least she had a go. there you go. she will be a regular viewer, i'm sure. some subjects come and go, but religious education has been a staple of the timetable for decades. but a report by the commission on re says it's outdated and needs an overhaul to cover non—religious beliefs. let's speak to the commision's chair, the very reverend drjohn

hall, who is in our london newsroom — and ben wood, who is a re teacher and chair of the national association of teachers, joins us in the studio. good morning. doctor hall, let's go to you first. you have been instrumental in writing this report. what is the key thrust of what you wa nt to what is the key thrust of what you want to achieve from this, and how much does ari need to change?” think it does need to change, obvious either big changes were around 1988 and 1994, so about 30 years as a major change. the structure around religious education has changed, with local authorities changing academies and so on. it is easy to leave religious education slightly high and dry in regulation terms. we are —— we are proposing a significant adaptation in the way it is supported nationally. we propose a national plan an entitlement for

british education, all pupils, from the early years right through to the age of 16, that anybody in any state funded schools should be studying re. there are a number of schools which are not doing it very well or not doing it at all. this is a new start to re, but we are also broadening the scope of religious education beyond simply the six major or the nine major religions, christianity obviously being very important, other religions as well, but you can't really look at the question of religion without looking at the question of atheism, agnosticism and indeed humanism, which are important aspects of the study. so we are giving it a new title, religion and worldviews. doctor hall, some people might be surprised to hear a christian man of the cloth calling for less christianity, i guess, to be taught in schools? i don't think we are talking about less christianity. i think it is vitally important

christianity is understood. young people growing up today need not only to understand christianity, which is the fate of our country, historically, but also other faiths. they need to know about what other people believe. if you're going to live in a global world, which is the world we have now. it is also very important, all good teachers, frankly, cannot ignore the fact of agnosticism, eight years and so on, and that needs to be brought within the curriculum as we understand it. what you make of all this? we want to make sure law students get the opportunity to start —— study this. 0ne opportunity to start —— study this. one in three schools are teaching it, and every teacher —— every school should be teaching it. all of the students do it and they value it at that of their education. we had 274 exa ms at that of their education. we had 274 exams every year, it is a successful subject and every school should be doing that and every student should have the opportunity

to study the world they are growing into. because we live in a multicultural environment. when i was multicultural environment. when i was at school, it was christianity, thatis was at school, it was christianity, that is what you are taught. children know much more than my contemporaries did, and this isjust the next evolution. i think so. what stu d e nts the next evolution. i think so. what students in my school will talk about is that it is the subject where they get to examine what is going on in the world, a real subject where they learn about what they hear in the news and they learn about the community and society they are going into and they appreciate the complexity that we bring into the complexity that we bring into the subject so it isn't about ticking a box and saying we have done this religion or that religion. we wa nt done this religion or that religion. we want them to understand the diverse nature of religion and different worldviews, so as they become adults and go into the world, they can make sense of it for themselves. it is a fascinating subject. it is history, and you

think students are concerned they will be lectured about god when they go intoa will be lectured about god when they go into a lesson? it is exploring attitudes to life, exploring how we live together, n—gage together, exploring the deep grounds of understanding in—house. clearly, elise is an important aspect of life. whether we are atheist or christian or whatever, what do we actually believe? christian or whatever, what do we actually believe ? how christian or whatever, what do we actually believe? how do we become the people we ought to be on the basis of what we have received, and also what we understand, what is our personal response to these great questions? it is a very important question. y very much for your time. —— thank you very much for your time. how is the weather looking? not much has changed in the last half—hour, but still pretty breezy today and we have showers in the forecast. it has been a really mild morning. yesterday was quite nippy

across the uk, if you have been out this morning, you may have noticed. in some places it is 15, 16 which is good going for an early morning in september. this is what it looks like a little bit later on. we have fine, bright weather developing across fine, bright weather developing a cross m ost fine, bright weather developing across most southern, central and eastern areas. the breeze is picking up eastern areas. the breeze is picking up and it will be blowing further showers into scotland. a wet day across the northern two thirds of the day. it looks like it will stay dry on the south coast, dry in the south—east and east anglia, this is where the best of the weather will be at 23 degrees. across yorkshire, a few showers. we have the great north run and temperatures will be 18 degrees. the starting temperatures for the great north run will be closer to 14, 15 degrees, but it will be a breezy day in the north today, particularly across scotland. later we will see lots of showers rattling in carried on it

gale force winds gusting in excess of 50 miles an hour. there will be big waves around the rest in aisles. tonight the winds will continue and east of the south across england and wales and northern ireland. it should be mostly clear. not quite as mild, but still around double figures. starting the working week ona figures. starting the working week on a pretty decent note. a lot are bright weather around, really nice start to the day, but later on it looks like the clouds will increase, we have more rain marching in so northern ireland, western scotland, possibly around lancashire, the lake district, possibly catching some rain in the afternoon. tuesday, a weather front stretching all the way from scandinavia, i could almost get out of the way, it is not quite the east coast of the us, but it slices the atlantic in half and this is important, you —— the atmosphere over the atlantic, it is important closed there was much warmer air in

the south and cold air from the north atlantic and we are right in the middle of the buffer zone. does it mean to us? southern areas of the uk will get back into summer alike to riches for a time early next week, 25 possible whereas the further north you are in the cooler currents are there, 14, 15 maybe 16 degrees, that picture behind me says it all. drizzle at times. a lot of chopping and changing with the weather over the coming three days. back to you. not much to cheer about weatherwise. very or tom nor all of a sudden. it is autumn. it tends to do that. —— autumnal. when phil collins sang "you can't hurry love," he could have been talking about ron and ruth, teenage sweethearts in the 1950s, who went their seperate ways to live in different countries. such a lovely story, this. but by complete coincidence, the couple were reunited nearly six decades later in a

lancashire retirement home. yesterday, they tied the knot. 0ur reporter mark edwardson had a front—row seat. dozens of friends and well—wishers ta ke dozens of friends and well—wishers take their places at our ladies church in saint anne. slightly late, the bride. christ blesses the love that binds you... during the registration, friends and relatives told me about theirjoy for the happy couple. i think it's really wonderful. i wish them every happiness. lovely, you can never be old —— happiness. lovely, you can never be old — — too happiness. lovely, you can never be old —— too old, can you? happiness. lovely, you can never be old -- too old, can you? it always wins the day. this case of first love. they were teenage sweethearts, but that was 60 years ago and they haven't seen it ever since. that was until they found each other in their ca re until they found each other in their care home. applause how is it feel

to be married after all these years? very happy, never been happier. yes, i'm very happy. he came to live across the road from me. it was quite unbelievable, really. across the road from me. it was quite unbelievable, reallym across the road from me. it was quite unbelievable, really. it is a huge coincidence. it was meant to be. any idea where he will go on your honeymoon? nothing planned at all. just take it as it comes. as it comes, yeah. i had to come outside to say this because it is a secret, but they are going on a nice honeymoon. courtesy of a businessman who saw their story on bbc, he has given £4000 towards a mediterranean cruise for the couple. but they don't know about it yet. mike couldn't wait to tell them about it. ron cannot fly because of his page, select route is perfect. two weeks

away from us lot, you can't get any better than that. as weddings go, this was unusual. according to an expert... you are not expecting any hijinks? you never know, you never know. ta ken to hijinks? you never know, you never know. taken to the reception and they will have a great day, i'm sure, and a great life. ron and ruth's big day continued at their care of home where they were presented with their surprise honeymoon. two weeks cruise, it is booked and paid for. you need your suitcases packed. applause such a cracking story. they both say they are happier now than they have ever been, which is wonderful. they are off on the honeymoon paid for by are off on the honeymoon paid for by a very generous breakfast viewer who

e—mailed in when he saw the story, when he she saw the story and said they would like to pay for the honeymoon. so they are for a cruise. thank you for whoever the viewer is. that wedding touches me a great deal more than another wedding we will talk about in a second. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. the writer and broadcaster robert meakin is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to robert in a minute. first, let's look at the front pages. we have quite a lot about one person on most of the front pages today. the sunday times focuses on what it terms a "dirty dossier" about mrjohnson, which it says was written by mrs may's aides about the former foreign secretary during the 2016 tory leadership contest. thejustice secretary david gauke has told the sunday telegraph as many prisoners as possible should be given telephones in their cells to improve behaviour and help with rehabilitation. the sunday express says it has

an exclusive with an ex—kgb officer who tells the paper he was ordered by the kremlin to "poison enemies". the observer leads with what is calls a "bombshell poll", revealing that members of the uk's three biggest unions all back a new referendum on brexit. it is slightly outlined with the labour party's it is slightly outlined with the labour pa rty‘s policy it is slightly outlined with the labour party's policy at the moment. a bit of politics in the papers today. writer and broadcaster robert meakin has been looking through the morning's papers. they are saying to call off the attack dogs, and then he is saying not to call the labour party dogs. they are now in the party, if you rewind three years, he was one of the so—called leaders in waiting, the so—called leaders in waiting, the likes of yvette cooper, andy burnham, and it seems like it now

resides in a political nomads land really, because the labour party is still officially, the majority of the members in the labour party don't support the views of him, and the main labour hierarchy don't. and many mps, he is very strange position now and that was the speculation, does he leave, but his stay, but he wait for the party to change, that could be a long time. 0r never, according to tony blair on friday. and another man who some people say has become increasingly relevant, also talking about his move for the centre ground, cable. he is putting up the inevitable appeal to the disaffected labour mps, saying your natural home surely now is the liberal democrats. he is bound to do that will stop i would say it would seem unlikely that the labour party mp is going to risk his or her career tojoin the labour party mp is going to risk his or her career to join the democrats. they have 12 mps and he is all about

self—preservation at the end of the day for a lot of politicians. yvette cooper really going to join the liberal democrats? i very much doubt it. inside the mail on sunday today... i know you are desperate to do this. there is a wedding. i should be ungracious because obviously it is lovely when two people get married, and good luck to them and i have happy for them. that is a headline and a half, isn't it? talking about the extent of their celebrations. now it is revealed there are having a kind and 50 guests at their wedding. this is more than prince harry. moderate it isn't. it won't have the same global attention, but bigger in terms of numbers. there is no getting away from it. they are division ii royals and it does bark hostility when it is costing this much and it looks this excessive. at a much about her,

but i think there is obviously an image problem as well. i think it dates back to her mother i would have to say, the duchess of york had a very bad press, a lot of self—inflicted all those years ago, and it still haunts the particular look wing... at the years ago when we we re look wing... at the years ago when we were having all that debate about austerity and reining in public spending and that very much was also direct did at big institutions like the royal family. this direct did at big institutions like the royalfamily. this excess direct did at big institutions like the royal family. this excess would not have been tolerated, but something has clearly shifted that they think this is going to be ok. there was all the goodwill — megan and harry, and before that, william and harry, and before that, william and kate. that is a huge amount of enthusiasm and passion for that. maybe they misplaced that and thought, they will have similar enthusiasm for us, the royalfamily is back at the brand. maybe that is there and thousands will line the streets. a great day for the couple. and for george clooney, who will be a guest,

beckons. —— the beckham. david batty or is on twitter, and he said online trolls are comedy gold to satirists. he is basically saying the abuse i get on there is appalling, it is also hilarious. it is bound to be a very good show. comedians in particular can really use the dark side of the internet very well, wreckage of a sin a similar fashion, —— ricky gervais. wreckage of a sin a similar fashion, -- ricky gervais. james blunt is another one, a singer that people love to hate but he is kind of going up love to hate but he is kind of going up in many people's esteem because of the way he handles that abuse online. sometimes the ones you don't expect can be really good at handling themselves. they use it to

sell or —— promotion but others are very funny. we will talk to you in an hour. the andrew marr show is on bbc one at 8:30 this morning. what's coming up, andrew? the essential thing, 8:30 a.m., so if people watching have other members of the family upstairs now under the blanket, grab them by the ankle, hauled them downstairs and stick them in front of a television where they will find the home secretary talking about the windrush scandal, about brexit of course but also about the russian threat. they will hear frances 0'grady, talking about the front page, the unions at brexit, they will hear the anti— brexit, they will hear the anti— brexit campaigner, he and many others, including possibly the world is most amis musician who is not only going to... he has played 15 different american president and will play for us at 8:30 a.m.. nine o'clock, not ten o'clock, 8:30 a.m..

exactly o'clock, not ten o'clock, 8:30 a.m.. exa ctly a n o'clock, not ten o'clock, 8:30 a.m.. exactly an hour from o'clock, not ten o'clock, 8:30 a.m.. exactly an hourfrom now. bank you, andrew. —— thank you, andrew. stay with us. headlines coming up. 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 another blistering 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 remarks have already been criticised

with the foreign office minister, sir alan duncan, saying they mark "one of the most disgusting moments in modern british politics." 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. 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. a representative told this programme earlier the proposals mark their fresh start for the subject. we are proposing a national plan with an entitlement for religious education for all pupils, aged from the early yea rs for all pupils, aged from the early years right through to the age of 16, that everyone, in any state funded school, should be studying religious education. there are a number of schools which are not doing it very well or not doing it at all. in the last hour the polls have opened in sweden. the campaign has been dominated by the rise of an anti—immigration party, the nationalist sweden democrats. they are tipped for second place eight yea rs are tipped for second place eight years after they first entered parliament. neither the governing social democrats nor the main

centre—right party is likely to win a majority. north korea has staged a huge military parade this morning to mark the country's 70th anniversary. the show of strength was packed with soldiers and tanks but, unlike previous parades, there were reportedly no ballistic missiles on display. 0ur seoul correspondent laura bicker can tell us more. there is clearly a message that the north korean leadership is sending ina north korean leadership is sending in a demonstration, a parade, a show like this. what do you think they we re like this. what do you think they were trying to say today? well, this parade comes at a very sensitive time, when talks between north korea and the united states appear to have stalled. everybody remembers that big summit, that big handshake between president trump and kim jong—un, but since then there has been very little movement. the united states wants north korea to disarm. north korea wants some kind of peace treaty, and end of war declaration in return. but the united states seems unwilling to

give that. showing off military hardware at this time, which it would usually do, might have been seen as a bit of provocation at the us. so it does seem that kim jong—un has decided to tone it down, and in the middle of this colourful parade, which still had those goose—stepping soldiers, there were nurses, doctors, construction workers. that isa doctors, construction workers. that is a message saying economy is now our central theme in north korea, and that is a message he doesn't just want to send internally. it is what he also wants to send to the united states, as in, we are not building testing nuclear weapons. the pictures of that large—scale choreography are actually extraordinary to watch. holly's here with the sport. serena williams making headlines today. it is interesting, because on the one hand it has all been debated as sexism, possibly racism, but a lot of people are getting into it this morning and just saying that

she was losing the game and was trying to deflect attention and upset opponent and was just being a bad loser. lots of people have strong opinions on this this morning. anybody who was watching this last night would have seen this, serena williams in the final round of the us open, we should be talking about naomi 0saka winning her first talking about naomi 0saka winning herfirst grand talking about naomi 0saka winning her first grand slam, talking about naomi 0saka winning herfirst grand slam, an incredible achievement for her, said we are talking about williams‘ outburst. we have seen this sort of thing from her in the past, smashing the racket and speaking to the umpire like that, but at the moment there has been lots of talk in recent weeks about her cat suit at the french 0pen, about her cat suit at the french open, for example, so this idea of sexism has been raising its head lately. so, first of all, williams was given a code violation which came after the umpire 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 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, 0saka then serving out 6—4 in the second set. but i have seen other men call other umpires several things, and i'm here fighting for women's rights and women's equality, and for all kinds of stuff. and for me to say it, and for him to take a game, it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. he has never taken a game from a man. because i said thief? i mean, it blows my mind. but i'm going to 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 the fact that i have to go through this isjust 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 for me but it will work out for the next person.

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, who 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, 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 leveljust 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 side 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 and across the summer i said we were under no illusions about that. 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 0‘neill‘s side had the better of the early chances but it was the visitors who opened the scoring and then made it two—nil 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 for 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 mcgrath as the most successful fast bowler in the history of the game. the first time, it was an unbelievable opportunity to come back in and play. the fire was really burning for 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 all it finished. 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. 0verall 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 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

0lympic, world, commonwealth and european gold medals. what is a welcome win. and a lovely man, too. he was on the sofa a couple of weeks ago. we are staying in the north—east, because tens of thousands of people have registered to take part in this morning's great north run. among them, so mo farah, four—time olympic champion, who wants to secure a fifth consecutive victory in newcastle later. alison freeman, you are on the starting line. rayudu is looking down at the starting line? yes, we arejust looking down over that starting line. normally it is heaving with ca rs line. normally it is heaving with cars at this time of morning, but

todayit cars at this time of morning, but today it is the great north run. sir mo farah will be leading that pack of 58,000 fun runners from newcastle out to the coast, across a 13.1 mile route. those fun runners are among the most important stories of the great north run. —— great north run. iamjoined by great north run. —— great north run. i am joined by sue hill and clive ruggles. their daughter alice was murdered by her ex—boyfriend to stalk to in the final weeks of her life. tell me a little bit about why you are running the great north run today? the really important thing is that we want to raise awareness about stalking, because when alice was about stalking, because when alice was murdered we didn't know anything about stalking at all. we didn't realise it was dangerous. we didn't realise it was dangerous. we didn't realise the things that made it up. we wanted everybody to be aware of it so we started the alice ruggles trust and we are running to make sure everybody knows about this. alice lived here when this awful thing happened. when you cross over the bridge to gateshead when it happened, are you going to be thinking about this today?” happened, are you going to be thinking about this today? i never stopped thinking about alice, of

course. i will be thinking about her every moment of this run today, as we push ourselves through it. why is it so important that you get your message across, do you think, the fa ct message across, do you think, the fact that stalking happens and it happens to young people?” fact that stalking happens and it happens to young people? i think it saves lives. it moved so very quickly, from a very unimportant situation, itjust quickly, from a very unimportant situation, it just seemed quickly, from a very unimportant situation, itjust seemed like a boyfriend who wouldn't go away to a boyfriend who wouldn't go away to a boyfriend who wouldn't go away to a boyfriend who killed her, and ex—boyfriend boyfriend who killed her, and ex— boyfriend who boyfriend who killed her, and ex—boyfriend who killed her. we just need people to know that that can happen, to report it to the police, the police need to be charging people with stalking. it is a crime. tell me about the work that you and the trust are going to do to try to raise awareness and make people understand how dangerous this is? we are starting with young people. we feel that young people, teenagers upwards, need to understand, as alice didn't and we didn't, that stalking is dangerous and can lead to bad outcomes and something has to be done fast about it. social media

campaigns we have been doing, one of these hasjust reached a million people. we are doing that with the people. we are doing that with the people themselves and also working with the police on training exercises with the cps and so on, so they deal with cases like this, the women who come to them. what would she make of you doing this today? she would say, dad, what on earth are you doing? we like to think of her running along with us and laughing all the way. she had a great sense of humour and she would have made into a fun exercise. think isa have made into a fun exercise. think is a much for your time and good luck today. all the action will be kicking off just luck today. all the action will be kicking offjust after ten o‘clock. the fun run runners will be leaving at10:30 a.m.. could everyone standing alongside the road, it is that is the most brilliant thing about great north run. the support, the way the people of the area come out, it is absolutely brilliant.

the weather looks good. kind. running, it‘s good, isn‘t it? but standing around, maybe not so. you summarise it perfectly. for the running itself, it is not too hot, nor too cold, just right. we lack a bit of cloud. with a bit of sunshine bearin bit of cloud. with a bit of sunshine bear in newcastle. —— we like a bit of cloud. the breeze will be picking up. the low pressure is swinging in so the weather will be quite changeable this morning into this afternoon. currently we still have some heavy rain around parts of scotla nd some heavy rain around parts of scotland and that will continue to move through scotland during the morning. to the south of that, the weather will improve. there is a lot of cloud across the country right now. the thinking is the cloud will break upa now. the thinking is the cloud will break up a little bit as we have seenin break up a little bit as we have seen in newcastle, summed it brightness. the south coast, east anglia, much of the midlands, apart from issues —— apart from that few showers, it‘s not looking that bad.

in the north of northern ireland and much of scotland here, and a real breeze with frequent showers coming through. they will not last long because the wind is quite strong so it will push the show through quite quickly, that you might get a downpour, sunshine and another downpour, sunshine and another downpour an hour later. these are gusts of wind, 50 miles an hour. it will rattle our windows through this evening and overnight. in scotland. tonight, clear and calm eventually across england and wales, northern ireland as well. temperatures down to ten, 11, 12 degrees. tomorrow, back to work for most of us. a sunny start to the day at least and then the skies will turn a little bit hazy so the afternoon looks pretty good across the bulk of the uk, but in the north—west, by early afternoon, more rain bearing clouds rolling in off the atlantic, down to the late district we will probably need our arm bellows in the

afternoon on monday. on tuesday, this weather front is stretching through the atlantic. we have very warm weather to the south across spain, portugal, france, germany, almost a heat wave. but in the north, we have cooler air currents coming out of the north atlantic, so we are right in between all of that happening. this basically means the south of the country is in for a shot of warmer weather, some are like temperatures, probably the midlands getting fairly warm as well, but the north, northern ireland and scotland, you are going to be in the cooler weather and the sky that times will probably look little bit like this picture behind me. back to you. thank you very much indeed. we will bring you the headlines at eight o‘clock. time now for the latest technology news in this week‘s click. this is nelson‘s column

in trafalgar square, and for over 150 years, its base has been guarded by four giant lions. but soon, these guys are gonna be joined by a fifth, and a rather unusual one at that. it is arriving with the help of google, and paul carter went to find out more. protests. celebrations. mourning. trafalgar square has long been a place where voices have come together. the lions that have sat in the square since 1867 have heard them all. but what if they could speak? as part of london design festival, a fifth lion is going to appear in the square, powered by machine learning. the result is an interactive sculpture called please feed the lions,

a collaboration between designer es devlin and google arts and culture lab. members of the public will be able to feed the lions with words which, in turn, will generate poetry created by an artificial neural network. it uses an algorithm known as long short—term memory recurrent neural network. snappy! it has learnt how to write by reading millions of words of 19th—century poetry relevant to the time the lions were first installed in the square. machine learning becomes a way not to replace human poetry writing, but a way to allow people who wouldn‘t normally be able to write a poem, or wouldn‘t normally think of writing a poem, but to enable them to gather their words together and form a collective stream of thought, to add order to what could otherwise be a chaos of people‘s jammed—together thoughts. and you don‘t have to go to the square to take part in this. you can go onto the website and contribute online as well. so, it‘s notjust for londoners — that‘s very important to me. the algorithm works

by learning to predict the next text character over and over again, always taking into account those that came before. similar to predictive text, it repeats this process until it can do so accurately on sequences it hasn‘t seen before. when members of the public feed in words of their own, the machine will expand them into its form of poetry. once the poems have been generated, they‘ll be projected onto a screen in the mouth of the lion, and when it gets dark, onto nelson‘s column. but, hang on a minute. isn‘t asking members of the public to input their own words asking for trouble? we have applied filters, so filters where all of the words have to be in the oxford english dictionary, and then there‘s filters against offensive words. and if you try to enter a word that the lion is not happy with, it will simply tell you, "i am unable to digest this word. please try again." so, with al and machine learning becoming more commonplace in the arts,

what does the future hold for the relationship between art and technology? does technology make sense? does it add a value? because if not, then, you know, leave the art alone. but if it can be a tool, a creative tool, perhaps, or perhaps a collaborator, and i would say with the case of the lions, it‘s both a tool and a collaborator, or perhaps it enables the art to be accessed and experienced more broadly. sarah?! sarah!! lady, hey, lady! sarah! i found her! it‘s every parent‘s nightmare. losing sight of your child, even for a few seconds, can be terrifying. and in the dystopian future of black mirror, it leads this mother to implant her child with an all—seeing monitoring device. one slightly less invasive solution is to give them a smartphone, which means they are contactable

and trackable using gps and, in fact, 83% of young teenagers in the uk now own a smartphone which, of course, raises that spectre of device addiction from an early age. so, what if you had a way of knowing your child‘s location and communicating with them without the need for a smartphone? enter the norwegian xplora smartwatch — a children‘s wearable with an inbuilt sim card and a gps locator. parents can keep track of them on their app and will get an alert if the child leaves a pre—defined safety zone. it also acts as a phone, allowing a child to ring and receive calls and texts from trusted contacts or to send an sos if they feel in danger. sounds like a good idea, but wherever there‘s tracking, there‘s the worry of hacking, and the boss, jesus llamazares, admits it‘s a very sensitive issue.

as a parent of young kids myself, i absolutely want to know they are safe and want to know where they are, but i also don‘t want anyone else to know where they are. there is the worry of hacking with any kind of location tracking. yeah, we have been working very intensively with the data protection agencies in norway and germany, and also with a third party, tuv, which is a very world—recognised certifying partner for security services. do you think there is a danger that we are moving towards a society where we are happy to constantly surveil our children and our family? are we moving towards a world where there is no privacy? and do you think there is an age at which kids do not need to wear this kind of device? these devices are designed for kids below the moment they have a smartphone. there are also some use cases that we try to promote all the time around health — that is, if your child is going for a football match or doing

some activity out in the air, sometimes a smartphone is not the best thing to wear, but the smartwatch is able to keep you connected, right? so there are some use cases, even for teenage years, that the watch is quite useful. the increasing worry that is in our world is that the kids have all the time with their tablets, of the fathers or the parents, and we want them to go out, play, this notjust being connected, with yourfamily, no access to social media, etc, but as well, be outside, enjoy an experience out of your home, right, with your friends and your family, not being all the time with the tablets. now, i think it‘s fair to say that we have a pretty fun job here on click. but there is one company which dedicates a whole day every year to letting

its employees simply play. and kate russell went to see just what difference that can make. the late, great sir george bernard shaw is known to have said, "we don‘t stop playing because we grow old, "we grow old because we stop playing." i‘ve come along to lego headquarters in london to find out a little more about the science behind play. for lego employees, 7 september is play day, when they take time off from their normal duties to have fun with the products at the heart of the business. i think the play day is a time for us to get back to understanding our own models, get back to understanding why are we here, whichever department you are in, to think about the fact that i might be in r&d, i might be in finance, but at the end of the day, i‘m here for getting that smile on the kid‘s face. you‘ll get no argument from me that day of play is good for the spirit, but is there a scientific reason why it could be good for our health? that‘s the question scientists at the university

of london goldsmiths want to answer. so, this is a unprecedented exploratory research project to try to understand the effect of play on workforces. we have a controlled environment at the beginning, a regular workday, and then we have a play day where they‘re exposed throughout the day to a variety of play interventions. and then we have a day after, which we can examine the residual affect of the play day on the individuals. today, they‘re running a proof of concept pilot to see what results a serious study might turn up in the future. a small group of volunteers have been connected to heart rate monitors to measure the physiological effect of stimulating play throughout a series of different activities. they‘ll also be self—reporting the psychological effects by answering a series of specially designed questions through a chat bot. so, ian wynne is the man with the tech. what‘s that? so, this is a high—resolution heart monitor. it‘s 1,000 hertz. you put it under your top, in contact with the skin, put that around the back, clip it on.

brilliant. and go play. and then go play. oh, if i must! i‘m a big roller—coasterfan, and what better way to get your heart racing? so, i recruited mini me and mini spencer for some good old—fashioned play. critics claim that the brain controls the speed of our heartbeats based on what‘s going on around us. when we need greater concentration or to handle stressful situations, it speeds up the heart, increasing blood flow. then the heart slows back down again when we enter a period of rest and recovery. it looks like mini spencer might need a longer period of convalescence after that ride, though. spencer: yeah, i was bricking it, to be honest. so, what are the results that you expect to get from the baseline versus the play day with our lego people? so, what we‘re expecting to see is really getting good engagement. the scores will go down as they need more energy, more activity, more concentration

on the really difficult tasks. and really good recoveries as well, because they‘re enjoying it. so, once they‘ve had that stressful moment, they should be able to bounce back and recover really quickly, ready for the next one. if you‘re constantly stressed and on edge, you won‘t experience the peaks and troughs associated with healthy brain—heart activity. there is a difference between acute stress and chronic stress. acute stress, you‘d expect. if a lion pops up behind you, then fight or flight is the right response. if you have long—term stress, chronic stress, then that can be much more negative indication. 0h! i think everybody is really excited now. there‘s a whole renewed energy worldwide around well—being in the workplace and trying to understand how we can better motivate and engage with workforces and employees, and i think play is a really interesting and innovative way that we can do that. the results are in from this pilot and suggest certain types of play could help workers recover more quickly from stressful periods and, crucially, might help raise levels of confidence and creativity in certain personality types.

i guess i‘m the type of personality that would quite happily sit in a spinning top all day. spencer! can we get one of these in the office, please? so, that‘s what is rofl means — rolling on the floor laughing. thank you. yes, we will order one in for you, kate. don‘t forget, we live on facebook and twitter. thanks for watching. see you soon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden.
