good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. murderers who refuse to reveal the whereabouts of their victims bodies could spend longer behind bars under new plans unveiled by the government. conservative leadership vote blunder — two ballot papers instead of one have been sent to some party members. welcome to wimbledon, where the fairy tale continues for 15—year—old coco gauff. the american saved two match points to beat slovenia's polona hercog, and become the youngest player in the last 16 for almost 30 years. game of thrones star emilia clarke tells breakfast how having a stroke in her 20s has

led her to back calls for more support for young victims. ifi if i could be able to help a young person in the same state i was in then i know that they would be able to be lifted. good morning. a lot of fine weather on the way across the uk this weekend but a little bit of a change in the way things feel — some fresher air blowing in from the north. more on the way things are looking in a few moments. it's saturday, the 6th ofjuly. our top story. murderers who refuse to reveal the location of a victim's body could be forced to spend longer in prison under a new law. the legal change, known as helen's law, follows campaigning by the mother of helen mccourt, who was killed in 1988 — but whose body was never found. ben ando reports. for 31 years, marie mccourt has been fighting for helen's law, named after her daughter who was just 22 when she was abducted and murdered in 1988.

her killer, pub landlord ian simms. he has never reveal the whereabouts of helen's body. marie led a campaign demanding that murderers who refused to disclose the whereabouts of a victim's remains spend longer behind bars. in 2016, mps voted in favour of helen's law, but it did not receive government backing until now. withjustice secretary david gauke proposing that it be introduced as soon as practicable. the parole board can already use withholding information as a reason not to release a prisoner because it suggests there is still an ongoing risk to the public. but it's optional. helen's law changes that. it makes factoring it in a legal requirement. even now, marie lights candles every week at her home in merseyside. although she still does not know where her daughter's remains are, the creation of helen's law may provide some comfort — especially if it means other families won't have to face both the pain of loss and

the agony of not knowing. ben ando, bbc news. and we'll be speaking to helen's mother, marie mccourt, in ten minutes. some conservative party members have been sent two ballot papers for the leadership contest instead of one, the bbc has uncovered. it's estimated more than 1,000 people have been affected. the papers have been sent out to conservatives around the uk to allow them to vote for the next party leader — and prime minister. 0ur political correspondent peter saull is in our london newsroom with more on this. explain what the problem is. well, basically, over the last two years the conservatives have been trying to boost the number of members and their party and we think around 160,000 people are going to be voting in the elections. that figure is an estimate and it may be distorted by the fact some members

have signed up to two or more different local associations, there is an estimate and it may be distorted by the fact some members have signed up to two or more different local associations, there's also an issue about women who have dropped their maiden names after getting married. these two groups are largely affected by this mistake of being sent more than one ballot paper although we know others who have got one name, one address, one local association who have also got two ballot papers. the conservative party will want to avoid any skulduggery in this contest, it's highly important, it's about using our next prime minister. this morning a former chair of the conservative party sir patrick mcloughlin has said it is clearly written on every single ballot paper that you can't fight more than once in the election and he expects people to follow that rule. remind us people to follow that rule. remind us where we are in the process.” think it's 19 days to go until we find out the name of our next prime minister. jeremy hunt is in the

papers this morning telling members not to vote quite yet, to watch what's happening on the hustings. there are two more regional hustings today. there is a debate on itv, the only real head—to—head debate between the two candidates, on tuesday. he says, hold off before you've seen those. there is a poll out today that makes for some grim reading forjeremy hunt suggesting borisjohnson is reading forjeremy hunt suggesting boris johnson is out reading forjeremy hunt suggesting borisjohnson is out in front as things stand. jeremy hunt's team believe there is still scope to win people over. they believe people are still switching to jeremy people over. they believe people are still switching tojeremy hunt people over. they believe people are still switching to jeremy hunt say they believe it's all to play for. in terms of when we find out the identity, the 23rd ofjuly is the date to look out for with probably the day after being the day that theresa may hands over the keys to downing street. the former prime minister, gordon brown, is calling on labour to automatically expel members for anti—semitism if the evidence against them is "irrefutable". in a speech this weekend,

he will also call for an independent appeals process to examine complaints. mr brown says labour owes thejewish community an apology, amid criticism of the way it has dealt with the issue. one of britain's most senior female asian police officers has accused the metropolitan police of discrimination. parm sandhu has begun legal action against the force, claiming she was denied promotion on the basis of her race and gender. last month, she was cleared of allegations that she'd breached rules about the police honours process. the met said it was "inappropriate" to comment. southern california has been rattled by its strongest earthquake in two decades. the 7.1 magnitude quake comes just a day after another powerful tremor hit the area, which itself had broken the 20—year—record. some limited damage has been reported so far, but no casualties. the hiv prevention drug prep is a step closer to being made available to anyone who needs it through the nhs in england. currently, places on a three—year trial are limited. but sexual health campaigners say there are still many barriers

to overcome before the drug can be offered more widely. the duke and duchess of sussex will christen their son later today. archie harrison mountbatten—windsor will be baptised by the archbishop of canterbury in the private chapel of windsor castle. however, there's been criticism of the couple for keeping the details of the ceremony private, as aisling mcveigh reports. when archie harrison mountbatten—windsor arrived, there were no photos on the hospital steps. instead, an overjoyed prince harry made the announcement. it was amazing, absolutely incredible. we're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle ofjoy. the public weren't introduced to archie for another two days. today's royal christening will be another private event. there will be no television coverage and no press photographers have been invited. the duke and duchess have expressed a desire to raise their son archie out of the spotlight, choosing to release photographs on their instagram as and when.

royal watchers can expect some privately ta ken photographs from the christening this afternoon. normally, a list of godparents would be released but this time, says the palace, their names will be kept private. coming so swiftly after the revelation that almost £2.5 million of taxpayers' money was spent renovating a property for harry and meghan, it has raised questions about royal visibility. aisling mcveigh, bbc news. a new record high temperature has been set in the american state of alaska — part of which lies inside the arctic circle. it reached 32 degrees celsius in anchorage on thursday. the average temperature there at this time of year is 18. climate change researchers say it's a worrying development. those are the main stories this morning, the sport and weather coming up later on. let's return to our main story now and a mother's successful fight to have the law changed

after her daughter's killer refused to reveal the location of her body. helen's law is named after marie mccourt‘s daughter, who was murdered 31 years ago, and could keep murderers behind bars for longer. marie joins us now along with nazir afzal, the former chief prosecuter for the north west. get morning. i remember sitting here talking to you not so long ago and waiting to see if this would come into law and you were so anxious and determined after working so hard and 110w determined after working so hard and now it's happening, how do you feel? i feel elated. more so because to have this law means that other families will not have a hopefully go through the pain and grief for as long as i have. can you tell anyone what happened to helen and what you've been getting through? when helen was murdered, she didn't come home that night from work and it was

quickly established something was serious and a man was charged within 48 hours with her murder. not with murder, but with having something to do with her missing. that was the start of it. over all these years, i have hoped and prayed and lit candles every tuesday night to saint martha for her to be found. it's ha rd martha for her to be found. it's hard to lose a loved one in any circumstances, but to have them murdered is horrific. but then not to have their remains to be able to go and put flowers on, it's a grief that can't come out of you, you know? you need something to say, yes, ican know? you need something to say, yes, i can accept that she's no longer with us. you've written to him. i wrote to him and my letter, a

copy was sent to the parole board to keep in his file to be read by paroled judges and to show that i hadn't shown any animosity in this letter. the reply i got, i couldn't believe it. it started off he sort of mirrored what i said and then all of mirrored what i said and then all ofa of mirrored what i said and then all of a sudden it's like the psychopath in him came out and it was, how dare you, you and your christian family, and it got worse. there were threats. i read the bible, he said, and he said, i believe in an eye for and he said, i believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. he messed up the most important line, a life for a life. the torture that you say clearly illustrate for us, the ongoing torture, you still search? yes. we should have been

going out yesterday to lead a ten area that we hadn't looked at before. —— to look at an area. when i got the news this would be happening today so that will have to wait until next week. that will be ongoing? yes. i don't believe that this man will tell me. i hope and pray that he will, not only for my sake but also for his family. he had young children at the time and the pain he has caused notjust to me but to his own family must be horrendous. picked up on some of the technicalities for us because eve ryo ne technicalities for us because everyone can understand the emotions and it seems like an ongoing torture. in terms of technicalities, how will this play out? firstly, can ijust paid tribute to marie, what a powerful statement at what wonderful

work she has put in. the parole board can use their discretion in a situation like this case and that would mean that they could extend somebody's sentence in effect to keep them inside if they felt they we re keep them inside if they felt they were still a risk. that's pretty much a test. are they still a risk? what helen's law will say is that it's now a legal requirement for the pa role it's now a legal requirement for the parole board to take it into account, which potentially means her killer will never see the light of day unless he reveals where her body is. that is a significant change. the strangest thing for me is that we had a law for several years now, if you steal £1 million and you don't tell us where the money is, you can get an extended sentence until you tell us where the money is. we put money above humanity and we've got to the stain is finally where we are saying, a human body is as important as £1 million quite why has it taken so long? why has it

taken so long? some people quite rightly suggested that the law as it stands allows the parole board to make this judgment but stands allows the parole board to make thisjudgment but we've had other cases recently where confidence in the parole board isn't that strong. 0ther confidence in the parole board isn't that strong. other people say that there are people in prison for crimes they didn't commit and actually we are just adding, torturing them if they are going to spend longer in prison for something they didn't do. that would be extraordinarily rare. i prosecuted a murderten extraordinarily rare. i prosecuted a murder ten years ago, 20 years ago a girl was murdered by her father, her bodyis girl was murdered by her father, her body is somewhere in the epping forest and he is now in prison. there will be many other cases, people in prison he will have to ultimately reveal where the body is unless they want to stay there forever. have you been in contact with other families caught in the

same vortex? yes, i have lots of families in the same situation as me. i've seen it grow over the years. helen's was only the third case of a verdict of murder without a body. since the end of the second world war. that's a big difference. now i reckon we are getting about seven, eighta now i reckon we are getting about seven, eight a year of these crimes. some of them, the bodies are found, and those families are left in the hope that may be their loved one will contact them seen and that is... it shouldn't happen. they are torturing families. i believe that these killers now have to face up to what they have done because to take a life is horrendous but then to ta ke a life is horrendous but then to take the lives of the family of that loved one and not let them know where their loved one's body is,

there is no torture worse than that. i could say i've had a dripping tap oi'i i could say i've had a dripping tap on my head for the last 31 years. it's far worse than that. it's a pain in your heart that will never go. i think sarah payne showed that oi'i go. i think sarah payne showed that ona go. i think sarah payne showed that on a programme go. i think sarah payne showed that on a programme recently where she was strong while sarah her daughter was strong while sarah her daughter was missing. once she was told her daughter's body had been recovered, the whole family breakdown. in a way thatis the whole family breakdown. in a way that is a good sign because then you get all this pain and grief coming out of you. but if you bury something inside you, that gets worse. it affects your health in every way. our families, they deserve to at least be able to say a la st deserve to at least be able to say a last goodbye and know where their loved one is going to be resting. it

shouldn't happen. your words speak volumes and he will have impacted lots of people. we appreciate you coming to talk to us. it sounds trite in a way but i hope this law gives you something in what is a desperate situation. thank you. can ijust say, i would like to thank very much my mp conor mcginn who has beena very much my mp conor mcginn who has been a power of strength in parliament and through him, david gauke has stepped up... i would also like to thank all the people who had signed that petition year on year and also people like yourselves having me on and getting this message out that these killers cannot be released unless they say where their victims remains are. they aren't safe to be released. thank you. here's susan with a look

at this morning's weather. i think that's someone with an umbrella. it certainly is. it's not going to be sunny for everyone today. not everyone but most places this weekend will have a lot of dry weather. we've got a weather front at the moment straddling the uk. this is wigan and there is someone there hidden under the brolly. the rain isn't especially heavy but quite a big contrast in the weather as we look from south to north across the uk. to the south of this cloud, a lot of sunshine. there is the front that has brought that rain into salford and wigan and behind the front, cooler air moving in from the front, cooler air moving in from the north. clear skies and more sunshine to follow. this is what it looks like on the weather map. pushing more cloud and taking the rain further south as it moves down through the course of the afternoon.

a lot of sunshine to the north, perhaps a bit of increasing cloud to the south. the rain isn't especially heavy but enough to whet the ground in some places and it could be enough for wimbledon just to see the cove rs enough for wimbledon just to see the covers coming on. most of the day's play uninterrupted. a cooler day for the rest of the day. along the south coast, up to 25 in somewhere like brighton. they you see the weather front by the end of the afternoon, pushing out of the south midlands into southern england affecting east anglia. one too two heavier bursts can't be ruled out but writing skies for the midlands and north wales and sunny spells in northern ireland and scotland — — sunny spells in northern ireland and scotland —— brightening skies. quite a strong breeze and highs ofjust 12-14 a strong breeze and highs ofjust 12—14 degrees particularly looking at the mid—teens elsewhere across scotland and northern ireland. through the evening and overnight, a

bit of rain around in the evening in the far south—east. a fresher end to the far south—east. a fresher end to the night, it's been pretty warm across southern england in the night just gone. for sunday, we have a lot of fine weather to come. in the rest of fine weather to come. in the rest of the sunshine, top temperature is 21-22 but of the sunshine, top temperature is 21—22 but always cooler along with the north sea coast. rather disappointing day for aberdeen, just 14 in newcastle so a good few degrees down on recent days. temperatures are staying subdued as we go into next week with average values at best. more unsettled through the middle part of the week. some rain is on the way, good news at least four gardeners and growers. if the fine weather is for you, that we cannot looking too bad. the game of thrones star, emilia clarke, is launching a campaign for improved treatment for young patients who suffer a stroke, after she experienced two life—threatening aneurysms eight years ago.

speaking exclusively to bbc breakfast, the actor told us how she wants to see more specialist stroke teams in england, and more rehabilitation nurses trained. john maguire went to meet her. for the past eight years, one of the main characters in one of the world's biggest television shows has been portrayed by emilia clarke. but after filming the first series of game of thrones, the actress best known as the mother of dragons, while still in her mid—20s, suffered two brain haemorrhages. she says recovery and rehabilitation was tough. it is something that's been perceived to happen to older people. therefore, when you're a younger person experiencing it, there's a whole host of other kind of mental health aspects that largely go unnoticed. and that's what i care about incredibly deeply, because that's what i experienced as a young person who had it. as a result of her experience,

through her charity, called sameyou, and as an ambassador for the royal college of nursing, she wants to improve the care for younger stroke patients. because i had an incredibly loving, supportive family and friendship group, and i had the incredible care of two specialist nurses, i got that whole aspect. and i saw where the gaps were, i saw where i needed to help myself, in that way. and so what i want to do, more than anything, is to be able to give young people who have a stroke the opportunity to have those for them as well. i put so much pressure on myself to be feeling normal, and it was that — it was that strain that exhausted me more than anyone else. it's just this fear of, "i'm not meant to be feeling like this. "i'm meant to be ok now. "you have told me i'm 0k. "why don't i feel 0k still?" and, if i could be able to help a young person who is in the same

state that i was in, then i know that they would be able to be lifted and feel lighter in themselves, and that's just such a goal. ..rightful heir to the iron throne. earlier this year, her game of thrones co—star kit harrington spoke out about how the end of the show had affected his mental health. kit was incredibly open about how he felt at the end of the show, and he's brilliant at what he does because he feels that, because he put his heart and soul into it. so yes, encouraging that kind of behaviour across the board, i think, willjust make it better. she is ruling out any return to the long, blonde locks in any prequel that may be made. i think there's something that's beginning from much before, but i don't really know too much about it, because it won't be me. it won't be you? the heat is turning down a little bit, for sure. which is lovely, because i'm hell—bent on living a normal life. i sort of won't give

that up for anything. it's an important interview because it's something you don't associate with younger people and she's very open about her experiences. time now for a look at the newspapers. anne—marie imafidon, who campaigns to get more girls engaged with science, is here to tell us what's caught her eye. good morning. this first story you've picked out, universities underfire forfailing you've picked out, universities under fire for failing to get to grips with widespread racism is something that's being spoken about. we spoke to the two authors of the book who outlining their experiences at oxford and cambridge and the feeling of isolation and how those universities aren't getting to grips with making people not feel like the other. this is eight. this was on the front page of the guardian, they've done a follow—up story within it. you've got some of the

examples of institutionalised racism that students are experiencing while trying to pursue degrees and study. so, it's gone into quite shocking detail, i'm pleased they've been able to give it this time but saddened that some of the things. so, certain students having to change their accents when speaking to academics. academic saying, i don't understand what you're saying that they are almost having to imitate other students. certain people don't trust the academics because of these situations, so they re cord because of these situations, so they record every conversation may have. your personal experience? you're a student yourself, does it chime with things part of your...? student yourself, does it chime with things part of your. . . ? there are elements that chime with my experiences but also those of my friends while i was at university. it depends sometimes on the subject you're studying, the kind of racism you're studying, the kind of racism you come up against. it's examples like institutionally, who are the

authors we are reading, what sources are using, whose histories are we talking about? if that's not reflected, if you aren't reflected in that you don't feel like you belong in that space. there's also the side. i myself had instances where there are certain places i would go and every time i would be i'd checked and treated as if i wasn't supposed to be there when actually i am a student, you've let that person walk past, why can't i come in? this was at oxford? yes. lets go onto one of your other selections. this is a name i've heard of, an obituary to bob collymore. yes. he was a brit who was very instrumental in the setup of the technology we talk about a lot when we talk about leapfrogging and this is the banking system they have in kenya where it's not

necessarily physical banking they have but mobile banking. sadly, he has passed away aged just 61 after a battle with cancer. the impact that then had on somewhere like kenya and then had on somewhere like kenya and the fact they are quite tech no logically advanced more than we are here ina logically advanced more than we are here in a way. and it's a story that's underreported, i imagine. definitely. there are a few obituaries on the other papers but this was in the ft. quite a big story and quite a nice touching tribute to someone he had such a big impact in kenya. when we talk about sexism or any bigotry, we are often talking about women experiencing it. i'm quite interested in the story that male medics are suffering from sexism. yes, say, this is a survey

that has been done across 40,000 health care professionals in the uk where they are saying male medics are still assuming that surgeons are male and gps are women. that's interesting. we have been stories come up and sometimes it will be about care for your patience and different people being treated differently but it's rather strange for you as someone differently but it's rather strange for you as someone in that profession to make assumptions about your colleagues. what confuses me is it looks at the proportion of female surgeons in the uk which is rising, two thirds of consultants are men. the headline is that male medics are suffering. they are suffering because they are the ones who might have the ingrained sexism. their female colleagues don't have the same biases. klm, the airline, telling people to take the train stop and yes, fly responsibly is their new campaign. don't go on a

plane? yes, for the sake of the environment. it's a big proportion of the man—made emissions we have going out is air travel. so, klm have decided to magnanimously and rather progressively say fly responsibly. if you can take the train, take the train. maybe not for our bottom line but we want to have a well to operate in so it's something be celebrating. stay with us, headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga coming up before nine, we'll have all the weekend weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. murderers who fail to disclose the whereabouts of a victim's body could be denied parole, under plans set out by thejustice secretary david gauke. the legal changes follow extensive campaigning by the family of helen mccourt, who was killed in 1989 by ian simms. he's never revealed the location of her body. mr gauke said parole boards must now consider this cruelty when reviewing an offender's suitability for release. they are —— mike i believe these killers now have to face up to what they have done. because to take a

life is horrendous. but then to take the lives of the family of that loved one, and not let them know where their loved one's body is, there is no torture worse than that, you know? i could say i've had a dripping tap on my head for the last 31 yea rs. dripping tap on my head for the last 31 years. it is far worse than that. it isa 31 years. it is far worse than that. it is a pain in your heart that will never go. up to 1,000 conservative party members have been sent two ballot papers, instead of one, for the leadership election, a bbc investigation has uncovered. 160,000 people are being sent postal ballots as they decide whether to endorse borisjohnson orjeremy hunt to be the next prime minister. a party spokesman said the ballot holds clear instructions that members voting more than once would be expelled. southern california has been rattled by its strongest earthquake in two decades. the 7.1 magnitude quake comes

just a day after another powerful tremor hit the area, which itself had broken the 20—year—record. some limited damage has been reported so far, but no casualties. one of britain's most senior female asian police officers has accused the metropolitan police of discrimination. parm sandhu has begun legal action against the force, claiming she was denied promotion on the basis of her race and gender. last month, she was cleared of allegations that she'd breached rules about the police honours process. the met said it was "inappropriate" to comment. the hiv prevention drug prep is a step closer to being made available to anyone who needs it through the nhs in england. currently, places on a three—year trial are limited. but sexual health campaigners say there are still many barriers to overcome before the drug can be offered more widely. the uk's biggest pride event is set to get under way today, but there are concerns the event has become so big that it's not as inclusive as it once was. this year members of london's trans community will hold their own event, following protests which blocked the route last year.

more than1 million people are expected to attend pride over the weekend. the duke and duchess of sussex will christen their son later today. archie harrison mountbatten—windsor will be baptised by the archbishop of canterbury in the private chapel of windsor castle in front of close family and friends. however there's been criticism of the couple for keeping the details of the ceremony private. a new record high temperature has been set in the american state of alaska, part of which lies inside the arctic circle. it reached 32 degrees celcius in anchorage on thursday. the average temperature there at this time of year is 18. climate change researchers say it's a worrying development. a sculpture of the american first lady, melania trump, has been unveiled in her home country of slovenia. but the life—size wooden statue has prompted mixed reviews. it's been carved out of a treetrunk with a chainsaw and depicts melania

in the blue dress she wore at donald trump's inauguration in 2017. it is sort of magnificent in its own way. it is clearly not a close likeness. but sometimes that is not the point. if you have a chain saw, how precise can you be? and that's not the only celebrity statue that's raised a few eyebrows... remember this infamous sculpture of the footballer cristiano ronaldo at madeira airport? it was eventually replaced after being widely mocked by fans. and this, of a wild—haired diego maradona was unveiled in india. critics said it looked like someone's gran. this one...

footballer mo salah also had his likeness ridiculed. observers said the statue looked more like leo sayer. i was thinking margaret thatcher. here's andy murray looking suitably delighted to be next to his sculpture in shanghai. i will leave you to work out what the statue was wearing. someone has beenin the statue was wearing. someone has been in touch via social media. can we see that again? someone said that the andy murray statue looked more like charlton heston in ben her with a tennis racket. it is a very good likeness. talking of tennis rackets... that's what mike has in his hand. and that is the closest we'll see you playing tennis,.

inafew in a few moments we will be joined on centre court, we will be joined by wimbledon champion, marion bartoli. we have a fantastic day ahead. this was the scene of such drama last night. the reason that andy murray and serena williams did not get on court was because of a comeback from the 15—year—old sensation coco gauff, who stunned the crowds, stunned the world, with her comeback from one set down to beat slovenia's polona hercog. centre court erupted when that ball flew long. she's the youngest player to reach the last 16 here in almost 30 years. undoubtedly the story of the championships so far, and she has won the hearts of the fans here at wimbledon. the crowd was amazing. even when i

was down match point, they were still cheering me on, and i'm super thankful that they believe in me. still cheering me on, and i'm super thankful that they believe in mem is unbelievable, 15 years old doing this? it is believable. she made me watch tennis. the young girl who ended up winning was 5—2 down, facing match point, one hour and a half later she wins it. it was crazy. i've never seen so many people out there on the hill. it was ridiculous. i felt sorry for the other player because everyone was cheering for koko. it is mental, knocking out venus, and then there is, who knows how far she can go. what she came back from, win that, no nerves, no stress... she has got nothing to lose. you can just go and play her heart out with nothing to lose. what scenes. marion bartoli, 2013 champion, you

started buying tournaments at 16, you can get into what she is going through. absolutely foster what a performance for her. i was so excited to watch that match because there are so many twists and turns. the scenario was incredible. the match point she saved with the sliced backhand down the line... and just the excitement of her parents jumping around and whatever. the whole thing was just so funny anyway, and also so young. very refreshing, that's why the crowd get really into it because you can feel her passion when she is playing on the court which is great to see from a young player. sometimes they are losing a little bit that passion because they are used to being on the court, but when you are young and it is your first time you have this freshness, it is so great, that is why the crowd embrace that. what makes her so special, and how far can she go? of course, against simon, you have to favour her, she is playing great stop but what

strikes me the most when i see coco gauff playing outside of her tennis, which is quite complete already, is the fact that she brings so much passion on the court, and i think it is so refreshing. not a lot of players bring that energy, they have been on the tour for a long time, players bring that energy, they have been on the tourfor a long time, or even the young coming up, they don't have the love. she is bringing on the court with her, and to see that is very special. that is why the crowd get so involved because you can fill it with her, you can feel every single moment. she has a very exciting game, she moves and hits the ball and serves really well. but i think if she wouldn't have that energy would not follow her that much. but that is an extra as a bonus. £176,000 already, she says she is going to buy some hideous. gross! gross! when i left in 20131 didn't leave with the gross prize money! but how important is it that

her parents are both former athletes, basketball and track and field, they know what you can go through. yes, and the agent will be crucial because he knows more than anybody how to deal with the media and the exposure and everything. what i love also is she presents herself as a tennis player first and foremost. sometimes the kids, it is all about instagram and this fake life, and how you can get more followers, posting pictures that are not related to tennis, and they become so distracted by something else they actually lose their primary of their sport. what i love about her, she knows who she is, she has a tennis player, she wants to be a champion, and she wants to be known for that. i think this is great about her as well. she is in mixed doubles today, and so too, eventually, andy murray and serena williams, this partnership we have talked about all week. what do you make of it, and how would it work

when we come to see it today? i'm so excited about it. i think serena is one of the best doubles players with venus that ever played the game, probably with billie jean venus that ever played the game, probably with billiejean king. to see those two peering together to try to go all the way winning the trophy, i think serena is going to do everything in our power to get andy to lift that trophy, it's going to be amazing. i'm really looking forward to seeing it for some serena is one of my closest friends, and andy won the same year as me, so i'm rooting for them. another story. you won't be the only one rooting for them. live on the bbc later. you wa nt to them. live on the bbc later. you want to stick around for a little knock—about? talking about the event in your homeland, france, the women's world cup. tomorrow it is the final, usa against netherlands. today the lioness is get one more chance to shine in front of the cameras, england against sweden in the third—place play—off. the head

coach phil neville, having lost the dramatic semifinal, he says his team wa nt to dramatic semifinal, he says his team want to end the tournament on a high. we wa nt we want to win this game, we want to go away with something to show. but also six wins and one defeat sounds better than five wins and two defeats. i want to lay on a sunbed next week happy that we finish the tournament well and not finish on two defeats. today we have the last two matches of the group stage of the cricket world cup with sri lanka taking on india at headingley and australia south africa at old trafford. unsurprisingly pakistan

went out yesterday, confirming new zealand's place in the semifinals, alongside england, india and australia. pakistan needed to beat bangladesh by at least 308 runs to reach the semifinal, an almost impossible task. they won by 94 runs. the tour de france gets under way today in brussels. the riders will cover over 2,000 miles before finishing in paris in three weeks' time. defending champion geraint thomas is in the unusual position of co—leading team ineos with egan bernal after chris froome was seriously injured in a crash last month. but he says they're in a good position. i won the tour last year. i can be pretty confident, i guess will stop i've done everything i can to be here, in the best shape possible. a few u ps here, in the best shape possible. a few ups and downs, but you roll with it and you adapt. i feel like i'm few ups and downs, but you roll with it and you adapt. ifeel like i'm in a good place. power seems to be good. i'm looking forward to get going now. this week is the worst, it drags. you do less on the bike, you think more, you have to fuel up, but not too much... it's nice to get

going. from the tour de france, to a french former wimbledon champion, marion bartoli, who for some reason has agreed to play me in a little match... you are coming so prepared! i look the part. shall i serve cosmic go for it. we have got neal as the umpire. that was way too fast! that is 1—1. as the umpire. that was way too fast! that is 1-1. ok, the decider. you serve. 0ne fast! that is 1-1. ok, the decider. you serve. one more. out! can she still heroes? i'm not sure

that as a future partnership... you don't see it working? who knows. i don't see it working? who knows. i don't think marion would put up with him. i played tennis with mike once commanded it is always eventful. you played against johanna commanded it is always eventful. you played againstjohanna konta and heather watson. i wonder who won that one... here's susan with a look at this morning's weather. the south coast will do pretty well. i think the south coast will be host to our hotspots today. top temperature is 25—26. not the same story for everyone. this stripe of cloud is a weather front. some areas will get more cloud, some will get rain. and that also marks a change

in air mass for us. as it sinks south it will usher in some cooler conditions. not especially cold but cooler. some pretty warm weather, temperatures in the mid 20s, underneath the front we will see high teens. that weather front could produce the odd spot of rain for wimbledon later in the day. late afternoon, early evening, perhaps the covers coming on. a cooler day. still a lot of sunshine to the south of that weather front. clouding up over london. a few showers in the south midlands into east anglia. a few across wales. brightening for northern england and wales after a cloudy start. sunshine for northern ireland, sunny spells for scotland. a few showers in the north and east.

cool for northern scotland, and breezy. high temperature 12—15. this evening, that front will bring some showers into the south—east. then the sky is clear behind it, and there will be plenty of fair weather to start us off on sunday morning. it will be a fresher end to the night, and for sunday daytime, lots of sunshine but the temperature is not as high as today. notably cooler for north sea coasts, and a nagging northerly breeze. lots of dry weather on sunday. into next week, average temperatures, i can't promise you a heat wave in the future. monday set fine, into the middle of the week more unsettled with some rain.

a growing number of credit unions are helping families out by opening accounts for them to pay in their child benefit, in order for them to then borrow the money back. it's so parents can buy their children essential items which the weekly amount won't cover. money box presenter paul lewis has more on this from our london newsroom. can you explain some basics summers? yes, credit unions are community—based organisations, like building societies used to be. they ta ke building societies used to be. they take in savings and lend it out to people locally to help them with their needs. they are very basic savings and lending institutions. their interest rates are fixed and generally fairly low compared to other sources of short—term borrowing. and they do pay interest on savings. what they have been finding is that if they say to

mothers in the area, you have your child benefit paid directly into a savings account, and that is £34 for two children, £48 with three children, you pay that, and we will lend you up to £500 over a few months to help you with those sudden expenses. now for example people are thinking about buying school uniforms for the next term. so it turns a smooth income into one that can cope with lumpy expenditures that children bring. the pressures when you are on those low incomes, at certain times of the year for low income families, you can see the advantage. yes, absolutely. 0bviously advantage. yes, absolutely. obviously it is better if you don't borrow money if you are on a low income, but that is inevitable sometimes, and if you compare this with the alternatives, payday loans for example, borrow £500, nine months‘ time you will have paid back £1000. but with this scheme with

credit unions, you borrow £500, nine months you pay back £564. it is a huge saving compared with payday loa ns, huge saving compared with payday loans, or doorstep lenders which are also very expensive. it is the cheapest way. and once mothers hear about it, what i‘m told is they put it on facebook, and the clients come in. several credit unions have told us in the north of england particularly that their demand for these accounts is rising. they are in the thousands now, and they have seen a in the thousands now, and they have seen a big growth in this because it is the cheapest form of borrowing for low income families. the money effectively is coming from the government. have they taken a position on whether it is a good thing or not? now, they haven't. i asked them and they said, child benefit is a contribution towards the cost of raising a child, we give them the child benefit, it is the pa rents‘ them the child benefit, it is the parents‘ choice on how to use it.

hmrc that pays child benefit has no view on this. they don‘t count how many do it, and theyjust don‘t know, and they are perfectly happy with it if that‘s what the mother chooses to do, because they give it to her, it is her choice as to how to her, it is her choice as to how to manage that best for her children. thanks, paul. you can hear more on this story on moneybox on bbc radio 4 at midday. all this week, a series of special reports from bbc news has been highlighting the shocking effects of cutting down the rainforests in the amazon. 0ur science editor david shukman has visited brazil where a surge in deforestation is endangering the global climate. let‘s take a look back at what he found. the billions of trees store so much carbon they help to slow down global warming. they are also home to an amazing one tenth of all species in the natural world. but the sight of bare earth and dead trunks is becoming more common. this is

happening all over the amazon to create new farmland, and the result is that the great forest has never been under such pressure. it is hard to believe, but an area the size of a football pitch is being cleared every single minute. that means that forest that could cover more than 2000 pictures is vanishing every day. and all the signs are that this rate of devastation will accelerate. viewers have been getting in touch with their own questions on deforestation, which we‘ve been putting to experts to get answers. here‘s clare sha kya, from the international institute for environment and development, to explain. we all have power to take action in

our everyday lives. as consumers, buying products that come from land where there is no destruction. and as political actors we can ask mps what they are doing to make sure the uk puts pressure on brazil. tanya steele from the wwf gave her take. this is a cycle of agriculture that deforested land and then moves on, we can restore that land for productive agriculture in the future without having to cut down single more tree. and here‘s professor anthony pereira from king‘s college london. i understand the concern behind the

question, but brazil has been serving over two thirds of the amazon rainforest for a long time and will continue to climb sovereignty. i think it is more practicalfor europeans sovereignty. i think it is more practical for europeans to work with brazilians to try to put pressure on the government, to try to keep the rate of deforestation down. joining us now is johan 0ldekop from the university of manchester. you can explain why we should care about deforestation, the technical impact on the environment if this continues. sure. the planet works like a single living organism. what happens in one part of the world affects what happens in another part of the world. forests help to regulate the world‘s climate and ca ptu re regulate the world‘s climate and capture carbon dioxide, which is one of the key contributors to global climate change. and so, when we

deforest part of the world in latin america, for example, that has an effect on weather patterns and climate change in other parts of the world, including europe and north america. have we seen that impact that can be directly attributed to the deforestation in the amazon? yes and no. essentially, deforestation isa and no. essentially, deforestation is a large contributor to climate change, about 10% of c02 is a large contributor to climate change, about 10% of co2 emissions. and so it is a combined effect of all of the causes. but deforestation isa all of the causes. but deforestation is a big one. more and more evidence appearing all the time. when did we first know the link between cutting down trees and the ongoing consequences in a wider sense? we've known this for quite a while. it‘s

just in the past decade or so that we can make these links between what‘s happening in one part of the world and another part. the theory was it was having an impact, but the evidence was not there? exactly. how do you see things progressing from now? i think forests have taken centre stage on global talks about sustainability. we see them in key international agreements like the paris agreement. i think there‘s a real opportunity to combat climate change by reducing deforestation and restoring areas that are degraded. instead of deforestation, reforestation ? instead of deforestation, reforestation? that is one of the a nswe rs. reforestation? that is one of the answers. time is of the essence, isn‘t it? reforestation, how quickly can that help? reforestation is part of the answer. a key thing that we

need to do first is reduce carbon emissions that we are currently projection, reduce the amount of deforestation that is happening, and then restore areas where forest used to be. and with governments around the world, how much more receptive do you think they are to fixing this? i think they are becoming more receptive. the reason we see so much deforestation as work, people using the land to produce. that's right. i think politicians and policymakers are becoming more aware of the issue, and we see that through international commitments. but i think our role as individuals is to make sure that we put pressure on policymakers to make sure that we do make these changes. thank you very much. senior lecturer at the

university of manchester, reflecting on some of those images that we saw in our report from the amazon forest. the headlines coming up, will be with you on a couple of minutes.

good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. murderers who refuse to reveal the whereabouts of their victims bodies could spend longer behind bars under new plans unveiled by the government. conservative leadership vote blunder — two ballot papers instead of one have been sent to some party members. welcome to wimbledon, where the fairy tale continues for 15—year—old coco gauff. the american saved two match points to beat slovenia‘s polona hercog and become the youngest player in the last 16 for almost 30 years. if i could be able to help a young person in the same state i was in then i know
