9:17 am
the gate, is that needed and will it work? it is sad and shameful that it has come to this. it has to work. there is a penalty of up to two yea rs there is a penalty of up to two years injail if you there is a penalty of up to two years in jail if you disobey. additionally the injunction does not just cover geography about social media, they have been saying some really nasty things about sarah and her staff at the high court have said to stop that. something these to de—escalates what has happened. i have called these people nefarious forces who have been trying to escalate this over the past couple of months, which has meant that sarah ata of months, which has meant that sarah at a colleague had been abused ona sarah at a colleague had been abused on a daily basis. five and six—year—olds had been shouted and screamed at. it had to come to something. the city council have got to the law are the law is in place to the law are the law is in place to protect those who are the victims of this abuse. it is a shame we have come to this. we will bring you inse, sarah, but does this dilate down or is it inflammatory to deny
9:18 am
people their right to protest?m could be inflammatory, it has inflammatory overnight been because we have seen social media posts are ready, that is one of the things that are bound so we'll see what happens with that. people do have a right to protest, but as judge said, that comes with responsibility and consequences. if it turns over and spilled over into hatred or causes distress and alarm and harassment, which it has done, to a huge extent for my staff and the children in my school. on a human level, what has it done to you and your capacity to do what you presumably enjoy, which is to teach children? well, we are a very strong staff and i am a strong person, but i have had my moments. i had one yesterday, i got very upset ina court had one yesterday, i got very upset in a court hearing somebody else say that this is not good, what is
9:19 am
happening. we have enjoyed it for about nine weeks. just after school for a short amount of time. for most of the day you would not even know anything was wrong. a fantastic primary school, amazing children, but to hear somebody on a megaphone screaming about my school, about me. a week ago i was called a paedophile on social media, i have been called a hater of islam will start have seen a hater of islam will start have seen not just a hater of islam will start have seen notjust things about me but misogynistic things said, racist things, homophobic things. it has been a bit like living in a parallel universe where you thought the staff was not part of your country or your community's make up. ! you are acting as a mediator, trying to sort this out. how far have you got? when
9:20 am
the parents have, they have gone through the learning plans, hundreds of parents are happy, many are dietary medicine out of pressure. we try, i try to get the protesters in the room, a very small number of the pairs that sarah teaches, and it was these non—parents, that is the issue, and i keep saying it, whatever their gender is, they have no right to get involved in this discussion. there is nothing. —— whatever their agenda is. whatever sarah and herteam whatever their agenda is. whatever sarah and her team teaches that there is lgbt specific, invariably menai walking outside with documents they have downloaded from the internet suggesting that her class and her classes, that, they need to walk away. their parents who are meeting the sarah need to continue those meetings, i can assure you
9:21 am
this can be readily fixed. is there a risk that this injunction means it spreads to other schools? it has done previously, but by all means protest, i am a strong supporter of protest. outside a town hall, the education department, against adults not against five and six—year—old children and people try to look after them. absolutely carry on doing that, i do not do it the way you have been doing it. sarah, are you have been doing it. sarah, are you optimistic that you can get back to do your dayjob this weekend looking after those kids, and giving your full attention? absolutely. we area your full attention? absolutely. we are a school at a dozen thing to say, we are not a church or a mosque oi’ say, we are not a church or a mosque ora say, we are not a church or a mosque or a temple. things will be different in schools as they are. it has a was been the way. we have to abide by the law, and this particular law is an excellent one and it protects all of us and we should be proud of it.

9:25 am
anand menon is with us, he's director of uk in a changing europe, a source for independent research on uk—eu relations. we'll speak to anand in a minute. straight in then. this is the big domestic story of the day. president trump set to meet borisjohnson. he is in the sign. he doesn't wholly advocate him as an excuse leader but he does say he is a good guy. he is very warm about borisjohnson, he is d ista ntly very warm about borisjohnson, he is distantly cool about michael gove, which is the other interesting thing. this story from the times is about the fact that number ten are a p pa re ntly about the fact that number ten are apparently very relaxed about the president meeting with boris johnson, saying that in the spare time he can beat whoever he wants. that will be a coup for boris johnson because they are trying to cultivate an air of being a statesman, having unable —— having a meeting with the president of the
9:26 am
united states will not harm him. some may see it as damaging. boris johnson at the moment has got to appeal to two audiences, fellow mps and a conservative party members, i do suspect with both of those it will probably be ok. whether it works with the wider electorate, not so sure. works with the wider electorate, not so sure. interesting piece in the telegraph about the peterborough by—election. the backdrop and how that could affect notjust the tory leadership campaign but also what happens within the labour leadership. papers are fantastic today, so much politics. you say fantastic, some people would say that there is their absolute nightmare. it is's dream today. it could it be a better time for the brexit party. peterborough is a town when the beck's party did very well last week, they found themselves a very popular local candidate who seems to be popular even amongst the
9:27 am
other parties. —— the brexit party. it whatever you think about nigel farage, having a party that is about three months old and winning a seat in parliament would be no mean feat. we have seen the erosion of tribal loyalties to the big parties. what we do not know, there was an interesting poll last week that put the lib dems ahead of everyone with the lib dems ahead of everyone with the brexit party second, what we do not know is whether that will last. there's also depp in support for the big parties at the european elections because the electric smart, they know it is a definite election, a different system, but when we go back to a general election, people go back to voting tory or labour. inside the daily mail this morning, obesity is the new smoking. that doesn't mean you should smoke your burger. ed belle you are, but what they are saying is

9:35 am
ready? there is a fantastic atmosphere here in the square, but u efa atmosphere here in the square, but uefa have been warning that there may be some professional scammers at work here. they have seized some devices that make them think that gangs are prepared to take advantage of people who don't have tickets and they might be posing as officials at they might be posing as officials at the entrance to the stadium ready to steal people's genuine tickets. there is a word of caution there. lots of security, as you would expect. 5,000 police on the streets. the policy in madrid today is to try to keep the fans a little bit separate as the day goes on, divide and conquer, or at least control things a little bit. there are two
9:36 am
separate fans is about a thousand metres apart and when the game sta rts metres apart and when the game starts there will be no big screens there, so the idea is that you will be dispersed across the city to try to spread the passion is a little bit. when you have a tournament like this, it is impossible to predict scores. go on, what would you say? i think spurs will score a late equaliser, and we will win on penalties. i think liverpool will win the 3—1. there you go. let's have a look at their handshake ain! have a look at their handshake again! can we see your handshake ain? again! can we see your handshake again? let's see it. ready, one, two, three, four! that is great!

a man walks into a pub with a gosling and asks for a pint... it might sound like a line from a joke but it's becoming a regular occurance at the kinmel arms tavern in llandyrnog, in north wales. canadian gosling granville was ignored by his parents nesting on a nearby lake, and eventually rescued by localfarmer nigel. after two unsuccessful efforts to release him back into the wild, nigel took the baby goose under his wing and he's now becoming a hit with the locals. it looks like a rather nice place to be, rather than having to fly to canada and back. those geese get very big, they will need a lot of newspaper on the bar!

as well with exeter taking on saracens in the premiership rugby union final, a repeat of last year's showpiece and the 2016 version too. so what has the exeter head coach rob baxter learned from those experiences? maybe just learn to be ourselves a little bit more. last year we were pretty good physically, particularly in the early stages of the game, but were we actually cool—headed and did we see the opportunities that were there in attack and probably in defence? we didn't really, and that is something we have to learn from and move forward, because it doesn't matter how hot the battle gets we need to be able to think clearly as well. johanna konta has become the first british woman since 1983 to reach the last 16 of the french open. the british number one dismantling slovakia's viktoria kuzmova in straight sets to ease into the second week. konta hadn't even won a main draw match at the tournament until this year, but she cruised past kuzmova in under an hour to continue her impressive form on the clay. konta faces 24th seed donna vekic from croatia next. meanwhile, in the men's draw, roger federer became the oldest man to reach the fourth round at roland garros

in 47 years by beating norwegian casper ruud in straight sets. next for the third seed is argentina's leonardo mayer. warrington are through to the semi finals of rugby league's challenge cup after a 28—22 win over hull kingston rovers. this try from ben currie proved to be the winner for last year's beaten finalists. the wolves are nowjust a game away from their third wembley final in four years. today, st helens take on wakefield in the last eight. the second game of the cricket world cup was over and done with pretty quickly. the west indies beat pakistan before 2.00pm in the afternoon at trent bridge. pakistan's batsman really struggled with the windies' fast bowlers and were all out for 105. it didn't take west indies long to wrap things up. nicholas pooran hit the winning runs with a six to secure a seven—wicket victory. there are two games today with new zealand playing sri lanka and afghanistan taking on australia.

25 years after his first win at the oaks, the 48—year—old frankie dettori was a winner again, this time on ana—purna. detorri's fifth career win in the race came on the far side, as she held off pink dogswood with fleeting in third. detori will hope to add a derby win to that at 4.30 this afternoon on board circus maximus. the aidan o'brien—trained sir dragonet is the favourite it may have been developed as a sport for athletes with a disability, but now ‘sitting volleyball‘ is opening itself up to all. while at the elite level the gb women's team are preparing for the european championships, at grass roots, a campaign is underway to get more of us playing, so we sent mike to the medway sports centre in kent to find out more. it's volleyball, but probably not as you know it. still trying to keep the ball up on your team's side of the net before smashing it down onto your opponent's court for a winner, but in sitting volleyball you also have to use your hands to get around. it has all the thrills
9:46 am
and spills of volleyball, but everyone is sitting down. not that that makes it more relaxing. i tend to think of it like a crab. you know how a crab runs along the ground with its...? i do that, and i use my hands as my legs. the sport has been around since the 19505 but it shot to prominence in the uk at the london 2012 paralympics, where martine wright, who lost both her legs in the london tube train bombings, fulfilled her ambition. even me reading my paperjust before the explosion happened, all i kept thinking as i was turning the page is, i have got to get tickets. and i didn't get tickets, but seven years later i took part. i don't think i could have done anything that day to stop getting on that tube, because i truly believe i was meant to meet this brilliant bunch of people, and absolutely revolutionise my life with sport.
9:47 am
martine and the gb women's team are heading to the european championships soon make it look so easy getting around the court and positioning themselves in just the right place. you can only hit the ball as long as your torso — so, from here down to here — is in contact with the floor. i don't really like standing up, so i like the fact that it sitting down. it is very fast, isn't it? it is like volleyball but i don't have to use my legs. it is a lot more freeing in that respect for me. i get to the end of the day and the thing i want to do the most is take my prosthetics off. since the paralympics in london, the sport has really taken off thanks to the invictus games, so there are a gruelling number of sessions trying to get all involved. it is quite adaptive, everyone from every ability, be it able—bodied people who are triple amputees, which i have seen play. you can get on and just play.
9:48 am
due to a lack of funding there is not a men's team, but by holding more sessions like this one at medway sports centre in kent, it is hoped that increased awareness will bring increased sponsorship to fund it. and if you are thinking of making it to the top, you will need to be far quicker around the court than i was, attempting the 21—ball challenge. how exhausting this sport is! what speed, what fun! it looks brutal! where are you going to watch the match tonight? i am backin to watch the match tonight? i am back in here tomorrow early, so it will be an early night for me. it is a full—timejob watching will be an early night for me. it is a full—time job watching sport today! we have boxing later, the

last warm up for the women's world cup, the derby, the rugby. let's hopeifs cup, the derby, the rugby. let's hope it's not extra time and penalties because i'm an early tomorrow, as well! tens of thousands of football fans have descended on madrid in preparation for the champions league final tonight. among them is 11—year—old scottish soccer—player and amputee, keeley cerretti. keeley is the face of uefa's ‘equal game campaign' and has been invited as the special guest of uefa president aleksander ceferin. our reporterjohn beattie went to meet her. hi, my name is keeley. i do football, skiing, running. what is it that you like about football? just the fun of it. kicking and just running around and having fun. this
9:50 am
weekend is going to be exciting, isn't it? why is that? because i'm going to madrid and are going to watch the champions league final.m is not to smile, it is the determination. itjust is not to smile, it is the determination. it just caught is not to smile, it is the determination. itjust caught her in that moment when she has hammered the ball, she has her braveheart face own. she does have a smile that would light up a room. it was traumatic at the beginning because we didn't know what the future was going to hold. i remember looking at a small pair of sandals and falling apart at the seams because she could never wear sandals, but she does. she paints her tools on her prosthetic leg. she just gets on with it. in terms of fitness and health and well—being, just enjoyment. it gives her the bit of drive and determination to go there
9:51 am
and try and do her best. when she does it, that smile of hers, the way shejust beams, does it, that smile of hers, the way she just beams, she does it, that smile of hers, the way shejust beams, she knew she does it, that smile of hers, the way she just beams, she knew she was and amongst children like her. somebody else who's going to have a brilliant weekend! you wouldn't want to bea brilliant weekend! you wouldn't want to be a goalkeeper on the end of that strike! here's susan with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. it's going to be a sizzler in madrid, i think 33 this afternoon. we are not liking too far behind closer to home. we are pulling in some warmth from iberia. we could see 27 or 28 today. in the northern half of the uk, more cloud around. some weather fronts. northern half of the uk, more cloud
9:52 am
around. some weatherfronts. that will cap the temperatures. towards the south, lots of sunshine and it will drive the temperatures up. always a bit cooler around the coast, but inland, widely in the mid 20s in the south of the uk, perhaps 27 or 28. more cloud to the north. for tomorrow, low pressure starts to ta ke for tomorrow, low pressure starts to take hold, so some rain coming into the north and west. today, quite a lot of dry weather. the best of the sunshine in the south. there will be some outbreaks of rain stand to the west of the pennines. more cloud will move into northern ireland and scotla nd will move into northern ireland and scotland through the afternoon. we have more cloud, high teens stop in the south, it may be 27 or 28. overnight tonight, wet weather will pile in. heavy rain. and for a time,
9:53 am
more showers further south. quite a muqqy more showers further south. quite a muggy night, in some spots temperature not any lower than 16 or 17 degrees. as for sunday, there is a cold front that will introduce fresher air to all parts. we stay far enough ahead of pet across eastern england to still have some quite significant warmth, still high is easily again into the mid 20s. further west, some quite punchy showers. there could be some thunderstorms through the afternoon and some squally showers moving into northern ireland. a windy day, thanks to that loo pushing its way through. the best of the sunshine in the east. top temperatures vigorous in the high teens on sunday. once the cold front pushes off on monday, it isa the cold front pushes off on monday, it is a fresh appeal for all of us.
9:54 am
loose pressure systems will push through, making for a loose pressure systems will push through, making fora much loose pressure systems will push through, making for a much more mixed story next week. a fine day for many a monthly, but tuesday more showers. still no significant rain for southern and eastern england, where the gardens are crying out for it. reality tv series ‘love island' returns to our screens on monday and, although it looks set to be as popular as ever, the show has already come under some criticism for its lack of body diversity. in response to claims that the picture—perfect cast members could send an unrealistic and harmful message, creative director richard cowles said that contestants need "to be attracted to one another"
9:55 am
for the show to work. let's discuss this withjim mcveigh, director of the public health institute atjohn moores university, and plus size model and blogger kat henry. did you apply for love ireland? no wishes to be on love ireland, if i'm honest. i've never watched it. i'm not that fussed by its, but i have seen a not that fussed by its, but i have seen a lot of the social media about that. talking about body image and what it says about body image, they all look very sculpted and perfect. what did you think when you see that line—up and there swimming costumes? they are all stunning, the women are beautiful, the men are very fit and athletic. they are not very diverse.
9:56 am
i don't think it is a true representation. the itv boss says that they need to be attractive to each other, the implication being that if they don't meet that is static then there are somehow less attractive. it is the pressures people are under to conform to the stylised body image. many people are not able to achieve that or are not willing to devote the time, the effort or would require taking drugs to achieve it. it is not achievable for all people. putting those pressures on people, especially what women have faced since time immemorial, but we are staying at more and more with mayhem. the amount of exposure of abdominal muscles. when i was growing up, you didn't see them! i like love ireland, i have ajob
9:57 am
didn't see them! i like love ireland, i have a job that can be quite serious, it is escapism and a bit fun. what's wrong with that? there is nothing wrong with watching it and enjoying it as a tv programme, but it is the influence it has on young people today. these kids grow up looking at these picture—perfect models and they will not be able to achieve that is static without having some form of treatment or some drug intervention, or have an bubbly changes which might be unsafe for them. itv would say this isn't a children's programme, it is escapism for adults. all the work we have been involved in identifies the people who would develop body dysmorphic problems. it is a complex range of influences, including these images that people are exposed to. beyond the problems for the individual, it isa the problems for the individual, it is a sad reflection on society that we focus so much on the superficial.
9:58 am
these are probably fascinating people, but all we are talking about is there stylised bodies. itv are just reflecting what is out there rather than causing it. but are they? they are not showing a full range of women, men that are in today's society. you have chosen a group of people that are as specific body type. that is not diverse, it is not ethnically diverse, it is not body shape diverse. women, men, come in all different shapes and sizes. how dare somebody turn round and say just because we are not that shape we will not be attractive to somebody else? that's just wrong. people not of that shape wouldn't wa nt to people not of that shape wouldn't want to go on it. why would you want to be somewhere where you are not wanted. let's finish with some slightly less controversial.
9:59 am
football tonight. liverpool! totte n ha m , football tonight. liverpool! tottenham, i'm so sorry. she's an arsenalfan! you tottenham, i'm so sorry. she's an arsenal fan! you will never live that time. that's all from breakfast for today. we'll be back tomorrow morning from 6.00am have a lovely saturday. goodbye.
