good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. our headlines today: a confrontational and lively debate as the two rivals to be the next prime minister go head—to—head, with brexit at the top of the agenda. no, no. i'd asked you if you resign, boris. you didn't answer the question. will you resign if you don't deliver it, yes or no? how many more days exactly would my opponent be willing to delay? how about christmas? how ready are we for the hotter summers that could come with climate change? experts warn more needs to be done to protect the vulnerable. here at wimbledon, the dream's over for britons johanna konta. she loses her quarter—final

and takes a parting shot at a critic in her post—match press conference. please don't patronise me. i'm not patronising you. no, no, you are. in the way you're asking your question, you're being quite disrespectful and you're patronising me. serena williams and andy murray progress to the last 16 in the mixed doubles. things were a little bit friendlier! good morning from the bentley factory in crewe, celebrating their 100th birthday today and i'm here to talk about the future of cars and what it means for us all if they turn cars electric. more from the later. and wimbledon, a good chance it will stay dry today, good sunshine and the outside chance of a shower. the wettest conditions in the uk will be in the north. will be back later. it's wednesday the 10th ofjuly. our top story: the two men vying to be britain's next prime minister have clashed for the first and last time

in a head—to—head debate. boris johnson and jeremy hunt were asked about brexit, economic policies, donald trump, and the qualities needed to lead the country. 0ur political correspondent iain watson was watching. it was the first time that the candidates had gone head—to—head, and they weren't slow to lock horns. borisjohnson said the uk must leave the uk by october the 31st, butjeremy hunt wanted to know what his opponent would do if this didn't happen. no, no, iasked if you'd resign, boris, and you didn't answer the question. will you resign if you don't deliver it, yes or no? in return, borisjohnson wondered whyjeremy hunt was scared to say he'd absolutely leave the eu by halloween. how much further, how many more days exactly would my opponent be willing to delay? how about christmas? 0uch! and jeremy hunt had a rather unconventional accusation to make. the difference between you and me is you are peddling optimism.

and i'm saying we can make a tremendous... i think this country needs a bit of optimism frankly! there also seemed to be clear blue water on what would happen to the uk ambassador across the pond. he has fallen foul of donald trump. if i am the next prime minister, the ambassador in washington stays. borisjohnson was less categoric. i and i alone will decide who takes important and politically sensitive jobs. jeremy hunt is the underdog who certainly did more than bite at boris johnson's ankles, but the front—runner wasn't savaged, much to competitor's frustration. he has this great ability — you ask them a question, he puts a smile on your face and you forget what the question was. —— ask him. and this sums up how much of a slagging match we've seen. asked to say what one quality he admired in his opponent, borisjohnson seemed to struggle.

errmmm, i... audience laughter i greatly admire his ability to change his mind. but this debate may, in the end, have changed few minds, with neither candidate delivering a knockout blow. iain watson, bbc news. let's speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley, who joins us from westminster. nick, what have we learned? there was a lot of anticipation at this event because the two men were together in the same place. there was an airof together in the same place. there was an air of confrontation about it, a debate, a proper debate. what did we learn? charlie, quite often after big baits in big political campaigns like this, we ask ourselves if there was a wow this, we ask ourselves if there was a wow moment, a jaw dropper, something that could completely change the race and i'm not sure there was. lots of blows, you saw them in iain‘s package there. jeremy

hunt thinks his rival has a soft spot when it comes to scrutiny and he said time and time again boris johnson doesn't answer the question. likewise boris johnson johnson doesn't answer the question. likewise borisjohnson things he can skewer his opponent on brexit, the biggest issue in this race and mr hunt won't put in a firm deadline for leaving and mrjohnson‘s team don't think that will go down well at all with tory voters. interesting to see today the reaction to those comments on the us ambassador. interesting borisjohnson wouldn't do whatjeremy hunt word and commit to keeping sir kim darroch in that job. some people basically thought he didn't want to ruffle the favours of the us president. we did get a real insight into what the two men who could be our prime minister are like. remember, they're going to face a political tsunami if they ta ke face a political tsunami if they take over from brussels trying to get a better deal on brexit. and

mystically, the labour party and other opposition parties are practising their attack lines on borisjohnson practising their attack lines on boris johnson and jeremy hunt practising their attack lines on borisjohnson and jeremy hunt as we speak. probably in the same place this morning as we were yesterday when it comes to the broad picture. borisjohnson is when it comes to the broad picture. boris johnson is probably when it comes to the broad picture. borisjohnson is probably still the favourite to be moving into number 10 two weeks today. nick, very good. we'll talk to you later. pressure is growing onjeremy corbyn after three labour peers resigned amid continuing claims of anti—semitism. the party's former general secretary david triesman announced he will quit, along with former health minister lord darzi and former royal college of physicians president lord turnberg. labour has rejected the allegations as false and offensive but lord treisman told the bbc‘s newsnight the party was no longer a safe environment forjewish people. i've come to what i think is a very sad decision for me because i've beenin sad decision for me because i've been in the labour party a long time, served it as its general

secretary, that it is institutionally anti—semitic. that its leadership is incapable of dealing with issues of anti—semitism and has no intention of doing so. for me, it's an ethical barrier that i could not climb over and accept. the uk's preparations for climate change are being run like dad's army with a ramshackle approach to the crisis, according to a scathing new report. the government's chief climate advisors say they are shocked ministers are failing to cut emissions fast enough, and adapt to rising temepratures. environment correspondent roger harrabin reports. let's just start by looking up... climate warming means more heatwaves are inevitable in the uk, that will leave the elderly vulnerable — they can't expel heat easily. the report says care homes like this will need to be adapted to stay cool, along with hospitals and homes. summer exercise classes here are already accompanied by careful rehydration. during the hot weather period, we ensure that staff are extra vigilant and they have an

awareness of how important it is to support our residents in being hydrated, and we do that by offering fluids little and often, offering a variety of cold and hot options. care homes are a particular problem because of the uk's increasingly elderly population, but many hospitals are overheating too. and even modern flats are sometimes being built with ventilation that's completely inadequate for the sort of temperatures we're likely to expect. climate heating will effect large areas of the uk, the report says. these docks at immingham in humberside are vulnerable to sea level rise. the authors say ministers need to communicate much better what's expected when extreme weather strikes. only the power sector's really on track for meeting its targets on cutting emissions. the transport department comes in for sharp criticism. its emissions have barely dropped. the government insists it is taking climate change very seriously. the committee wants deeds, not words. roger harrabin, bbc news.

school uniform must be affordable, accessible and gender—neutral, according to new guidelines by the welsh government. the changes will come into force from september. a consultation was launched last autumn following the summer heatwave, when some parents claimed uniform policies were too strict and the clothes too expensive. it means that girls will be able to wear trousers and boys will be able to wear skirts. users of amazon's digital assistant alexa will now be able to get medical advice directly from the nhs. from this week, the voice—assisted technology will automatically search the nhs choices website when uk users ask health—related questions. previously it provided information from a range of sources. the department of health in england says it could help to reduce demand on the nhs. frontline police officers say the service in england and wales has been cut back so much it isn't robust enough to respond to changing patterns of crime. their views are contained in a review carried out by the home office, which also

reported deep concerns about the welfare of staff and the lack of leadership in policing. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. the thin blue line can't get any thinner, that's the message from police officers and staff across england and wales. they were interviewed as part of a home office report which showed how police cut backs and organisational changes have taken their toll. the frontline policing review found that officers felt under constant pressure. there we re felt under constant pressure. there were concerns inexperienced staff we re were concerns inexperienced staff were enrols weren't prepared for and rest days were being frequently cancelled. 0ne mid— ranking officer said the service had become incredibly fragile and brittle, summing up the problems in the report. and it's with that information from the frontline that we can challenge ourselves at the home office but also challenge the leadership of the police system to

do an even betterjob in terms of supporting the frontline against crime. a common criticism in the report are there aren't enough true leaders in policing can inspire people and set a good example. 0fficers said they expected chief co nsta ble co nsta bles to 0fficers said they expected chief constable constables to do much more to promote their well—being. the home office said inspections will be carried out to ensure... ministers also promised to include frontline officers in future decisions about policing. danny shaw, bbc news. the multi—platinum singer and rapper nicki minaj has cancelled her show in saudi arabia. the artist says she wants to make clear her support for the rights of women, the lgbt community and freedom of expression. her planned performance at the jeddah festival sparked an outcry from human rights activists, because of the country's record on diversity. 0ne one last story for you... get ready for some canine capers. these pet owners have been getting creative with costumes for themselves and their dogs at an annual

charity event in san diego. what's that? a superhero dog! yo dog! very good! an array of costumes were on display from yoda, to batman, superman and even judge judy. the fundraising event features trivia, games and a best—dressed contest, all in aid of a local animal shelter. look at that one! i had tojudge one of i had to judge one of those computational last year ‘s. i had to judge one of those computational last year 's. who won? a lady dressed like one of her huskies. i need to a picture! i think it was dog most like their owner but they all came dressed up! it was one of the most fun afternoons i ever had. where you a co ntesta nt ? afternoons i ever had. where you a contestant? i definitely wasn't a co ntesta nt! let's talk about wimbledon. jo

konta, of course, and andy murray and serena as well. so much going on! sally, good morning! really interesting story afterjo konta was beaten yesterday in the wimbledon quarter—finals. lots in the paper about her, i'm interested to get your take on it, because charlie, your take on it, because charlie, you were here. men's quarter—finals today, but there are no british names today, but there are no british na m es left today, but there are no british names left in the draw afterjo konta was beaten yesterday. she hit back at a journalist in the post—match press conference who questioned her performance, saying she was patronised and did her best. serena williams is favourite still for an eighth singles title. she won in three hard—fought sets against alison riske. serena then returned to play mixed doubles with andy murray and the two, christened murena by williams apparently, progressed to the last 16. they'll play the top seeds later today. guess what? the domestic football season is here already!

celtic came from behind to edge a step closer to the second qualifying round of the champions league. they beat sarajevo 3—1. and india and new zealand's world cup semi—final will have to be finished today. new zealand were struggling to post a big total when rain wiped out the rest of the day in manchester. lots and lots about content in the papers this morning and i want to show you the back page of the times, this has got a great back page this morning. joke and her saying please don't patronise me, accusing a journalist in her press conference of patronising her when he challenged her again and again about her performance on court, saying i'm an athlete doing myjob. this story is interesting, serena williams has given an interview with harper's bazaar about her match against naomi 0saka. she was fine for her pay when she played against naomi 0saka last septemberfor calling she played against naomi 0saka last september for calling the portuguese umpirea liar, september for calling the portuguese umpire a liar, a thief and sexist.

she's saying how embarrassing and excruciating it was, but also saying frankly it's shameful our society penalises women for being themselves. interesting those two stories are together this morning. themselves. interesting those two stories are together this morninglj don't often read the back pages but i was drawn to that this morning. interesting with the timing from serena, she said she didn't know when the article was coming out. serena, she said she didn't know when the article was coming outlj believe that. the other interesting thing, if you get a chance to look at that article, the pictures are incredible and she looks amazing. she insisted for the photo shoot that none of the pictures were retouched, which is really unusual in the world of glossy magazines. she looks how she looks. you are in one of the commentary boxes, aren't you? i'm going to be moving all over the place. carol and i have a free pass for the next two hours until we get booted out. and you will get booted out as well! let's take a look at today's papers.

the daily telegraph leads on the race for number 10, and last night's debate — withjeremy hunt accusing his rival boris johnson of "peddling optimism" in order to get into downing street. and there's a photo of the queen at a tree—planting event yesterday. the times claims mrjohnson has put the future of the uk's ambassador in washington in doubt for refusing to say if he'd keep sir kim darroch in post if he became prime minister. the daily mirror calls mrjohnson a traitor for not publicly backing sir kim in the debate. and the guardian leads with the news that mps have voted to extend same—sex marriage and access to abortion to northern ireland, in a move that brings it in line with the rest of britain. let's have a look inside now. shall we look at the inside? a few newspapers have looked at what the queen was doing yesterday. yes, it was rather charming. she was planting a tree and apparently she

was not meant to be planting it but she insisted and doing it herself. a lovely picture of her today. in contrast, a couple of the newspapers have shown meghan markle watching serena and some of the royal aids told people near there to stop taking photos of her. so they put those two together but... it is close, isn't it? it is not what you would want if you were sitting there and minding yourown would want if you were sitting there and minding your own business. would want if you were sitting there and minding your own businessm would want if you were sitting there and minding your own business. it is maybe something we will pick up on later this hour. this is the back page of the times. in relation to two tennis players at the top of their game, drawing attention to the way that they are treated to one degree or another. if you had the option to watch that moment in the press c0 nfe re nce option to watch that moment in the press conference withjoe konta yesterday, we will watch some of it

later. there was something in the tone of the question that she had just lost and was not happy with the situation but there was something about the tone that she reacted to. and now her reaction has become the story and many people are arguing if that was —— would be a story if it we re that was —— would be a story if it were a male player. you see touchy post match interviews with football managers. and sometimes we call that character. quite interesting. we will do an experiment later which we are excited about, aren't we, charlie? in the next 30 minutes and empathy experimented. lets explain it now. no. idon't empathy experimented. lets explain it now. no. i don't even understand it. iam mentioning it now it now. no. i don't even understand it. i am mentioning it now as a teaserfor it. i am mentioning it now as a teaser for you all to keep watching. goats have been found to have

empathy and respond to herd emotion. scientists found goats, they have proved that goats are able to distinguish emotions in the calls of other goats and respond to the feelings of their peers in a phenomenon known as emotional contagion. in all honesty, i'm not surprised that a goat understands another goat. nor am i it. i would be more surprised if a goat understood a dog pacific or if carol understood a dog pacific or if carol understood the emotion of a goat.|j feel and experiment coming on. honestly, i have never tried but todayis honestly, i have never tried but today is a new day and a new challenge. good morning. here at wimbledon it is quite mild and across many parts of the uk the temperature has not fallen too far overnight. in central london it is 18 degrees. if we look around, this

is the number three court known as little sister. it was added to the ground in 1923 along with number two court. the capacity of this court was 800 seats and now it is 1980. it is much bigger now. the weather today as large as well. we start with the forecast for wimbledon. we have a dry day in store. sunny intervals, small chance of a shower. we cannot totally rule it out but you will be like if you catch it. highs of 25 degrees. for us all today, scattered showers, some of us see some rain and some of us see some sunshine. if we start with the rain at nine o'clock you can see the overnight rain continuing to push eastwards a cross overnight rain continuing to push eastwards across scotland and northern england, some of it heavy. behind it for scotland and northern ireland we are looking at right spells and showers. south of

northern england, across the midlands into wales towards the southern counties there is a fit of cloud around and a few showers and we also have sunny intervals, the best of which are across south wales, devon, cornwall and best of which are across south wales, devon, cornwalland the channel islands. as we go on through the day we lose the rain from northern england and eastern scotla nd northern england and eastern scotland but in its wake we shall see showers. some scotland but in its wake we shall see showers. some are scotland but in its wake we shall see showers. some are heavy in scotla nd see showers. some are heavy in scotland and northern ireland. a yellow weather warning out for that. it is slow—moving and could be thundery. we also see showers in east anglia and parts of wales but still south wales, the south—west and the channel islands see the lion share of the sunshine and here as well we will have temperatures reaching 25, maybe 26 degrees. 13 or 14 reaching 25, maybe 26 degrees. 13 or 1a as we push into the northern half of the country. this evening and overnight a new band of rain coming in later will push to the east so a wet night, particularly so across

england and wales. for scotland and northern ireland behind that there will still be some showers but for southern counties it will be mostly dry, and again moments of cloud, some clear skies and not a particularly cold night. we start tomorrow with that scenario again. the rain moving east followed by some cloud, some sunny spells but also some showers. the met office has another weather warning out for those showers and some will be heavy and thundery, particularly so across the northern half of the country. because they are slow—moving we will see rainfall totals climb up so it is something we are very much aware of. the next few days the weather will remain unsettled. i love that you have gone full on wimbledon colours today. that is perfect. imagine 'seeing sound' or 'hearing colour‘. it might sound far—fetched, but it's a reaction many of us are experiencing on a daily basis.

it was previously thought to be a rare occurence, but more than half a million of us feel it in some form, as david sillito has been finding out. this is jake palmer, and there is something interesting going on in his brain. he has what is called synaesthesia, his senses sort of overlap and merge so that for instance, sound triggers images of colours and shapes and to help explain, we played him some music. that sounds, just a lot of colour... blue, blue coming off that sound. # you are the dancing queen, young and sweet... that's quite red and orange. her voice is like a pastelly green colour. so the colour of the sitar, the main sitar that is happening there, is purple. that bit is sort of, it's like pulling the rug out.

and it was blue. the days of the week of colours and shapes. wednesday, for instance. wednesday is like a beehive, barley twist thing. and it's got a colour? yeah, yeah, like black, a few bits of white in there but it is mainly like a golden—brown colour. do you ever worry about this? no. no way! 0k, jake so each of these wiggly lines is one of the electro—recordings from each of the scalp sites. indeed, it is not that unusual. more than half a million of us have some form synaesthesia and researchers here at sussex university think it could help unlock some of the mysteries of social life, which brings us to the rubber hand test. it is an illusion. your real hand is hidden behind a screen and in front of you is a rubber hand, both are then stroked and after a few seconds, something odd can often happen.

the feeling seems to be coming from the rubber hand. it's not a real hand but it's really, really convincing. i'm just a bit freaked out. i feel like i want to move it, but i can't. oh my god, that is so weird! that is weird, isn't it? of course, it's not just an illusion. there is some science behind this. this experiment shows how easily senses can be tricked and offers a clue about how the brain processes feelings. we can use this in the lab to try and understand more about body representation, and another thing we do in the lab is that we work with people that had this thing called mirror touched synaesthesia. so mirror touch synaesthesia is where you feel touch on your body when you see it happen to somebody else. so if i were to touch my face like this, you would feel it on your cheek as well.

and if you happen to have mirror touch, sussex wants to talk to you, because that sense of feeling what others feel appears to be linked to a vital life skill — empathy. a gateway to understanding the science of shared emotions. good news is that we are now involved in a live experiment. confusingly if we go to this camera here, for the purposes of this experiment louise has three hands. two left and one right hand if i am correct. so what are we going to do? please explain. with that paintbrush you are going to paint my left hand which i know is there and the rubber hand and! which i know is there and the rubber hand and i will look at this hand. health and safety means not actually meant to touch. has that been

outlawed? no, meant to touch. has that been outlawed ? no, just meant to touch. has that been outlawed? no, just don't use a hammer. so just like this. outlawed? no, just don't use a hammer. sojust like this. here we go. and you need to describe what is happening. quite plainly you are painting gently with a paint brush my left hand. what sensation do you have? the ones i would expect. i can only feel it on my left hand. i am not experiencing what other people say they can experience. the idea, just to explain, is that you might feel something in your fake just to explain, is that you might feel something in yourfake hand. but you are not. definitely not. so i carry on like this and see if anything changes? the fake hand... something is happening? no. nothing

is happening apart from this very strange experiment. shall we stop before it gets weirder? maybe this says more about you than it does about the experiments. the thing is they say there are half a million people who have that but in that experiment my hand, that hand... you are definitely tapping me on the shoulder with a hand that is not my hand. later. what we will do is try and do the experiment on you later and do the experiment on you later and see if it goes any better. i'll look after this. the hand has been to make up because it looked a little anaemic when it arrived. more experiments later. if you want to see them. time now for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. the number of cases of measles

in london has increased by 400% in four years. new figures from public health england show that a disease which many people thought had been all but eradicated, is on the rise — as the number of toddlers getting the mmr vaccination continues to fall. some london nurseries say they won't take children who haven't been immunised. every single parent who comes through the nursery has vaccinated their child. if there was a situation where a parent said that we do not believe in vaccines and my response would be to say you need to find a different nursery. buskers in kensington and chelsea could face a quieter future — if measures to limit where and how long they can play— get approved this evening. the number of complaints about busking in the borough has increased sharply since 2014. tonight the council will decide whether to introduce zones, which would require musicians to follow a code of conduct — or face a thousand pound fine.

i don't think it is very nice for people like us. some buskers need to repeat songs because you repeat your better songs for more money. it will better songs for more money. it will be sad if there was nobody here. plans to close libraries across essex have been scrapped. 25 had been earmarked for closure — despite opposition from residents, authors and celebrities who called them a lifeline in the community. essex county council said its latest decision follows a consultation. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0nto the roads and on denmark hill there are temporary traffic lights and roadworks at the junction with love walk. eversholt street remains closed in both directions between euston station and grafton place due to water main repairs. and there are roadworks and temporary traffic lights at connaught road by london city airport. now the weather with sara thornton.

in the end yesterday we had a little more sunshine than forecast and then temperatures rocketed up into the mid—20s. plenty of warm sunshine later and certainly not a chilly start. 18 degrees right now. a little cloud with an odd stray shower and that is clearing up. sunny spells for the afternoon and generally staying dry in the 25 degrees. try and clear at first tonight but as the night wears on we have some cloud pushing away and from west and with that some showers first thing tomorrow morning. again, temperatures in the mid— high teens to start tomorrow and at first, yes, showers crossing us but they die out all the time as they had eastwards and behind it for the afternoon the cloud breaks out once more, that make bricks up once more and there is plenty of warm sunshine. plenty

of warm sunshine for friday, the risk of a stray shower and looking fine and settled for you at the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now it's back to charlie and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: we'll meet the family who've crossed two continents, 17 countries and covered nearly 111,000 miles by car, all for the love of cricket. his best—selling novel one day became a hit hollywood film. the author david nicholls will here to tell us how he's returned to the theme of young love for his latest book sweet sorrow. and we'll talk to the man behind the hi—tech hidden filming—techniques in the bbc‘s new nature series serengeti. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news:

the two men vying to be britain's next prime minister have clashed for the first and last time in a head—to—head debate. boris johnson and jeremy hunt were asked about brexit, economic policies, donald trump and the qualities needed to lead the country. ballots were sent out last week, and it's thought the majority of the 160,000 conservative members have already cast their vote. pressure is growing onjeremy corbyn after three labour peers resigned amid continuing claims of anti—semitism. the party's former general secretary david triesman announced he will quit, along with former health minister lord darzi and former royal college of physicians president lord turnberg. labour has rejected the allegations as false and offensive, but lord treisman told the bbc‘s newsnight the party was no longer a safe environment forjewish people. the uk's preparations for climate change are being run like dad's army with a ramshackle approach to the crisis, according to a scathing new report.

the government's chief climate advisors say they are shocked ministers are failing to cut emissions fast enough, and adapt to rising temepratures. the government insists it is taking climate change very seriously. school uniform must be affordable, accessible and gender—neutral, according to new guidelines by the welsh government. the changes will come into force from september. a consultation was launched last autumn following the summer heatwave, when some parents claimed uniform policies were too strict and the clothes too expensive. it means that girls will be able to wear trousers and boys will be able to wear skirts. users of amazon's digital assistant alexa will now be able to get medical advice directly from the nhs. from this week, the voice—assisted technology will automatically search the nhs choices website when uk users ask health—related questions. previously it provided information from a range of sources. the department of health in england says it could help to reduce demand on the nhs. frontline police officers say the service in england and wales has

been cut back so much it isn't robust enough to respond to changing patterns of crime. 0fficers said they were under constant pressure, with inexperienced staff often carrying out roles they weren't prepared for, and rest days frequently cancelled. the home office said inspections would be carried out to ensure forces were looking after the welfare of officers and other staff. the multi—platinum singer and rapper nicki minaj has cancelled her show in saudi arabia. the artist says she wants to make clear her support for the rights of women, the lgbt community and freedom of expression. her planned performance at the jeddah festival sparked an outcry from human rights activists because of the country's record on diversity. what's the perfect way to celebrate you're100th birthday? meet tommy hodgson. he decided a skydive over the cumbrian hills was a fitting way to celebrate his centenary.

he says he now hopes to set a new world record by repeating the feat in three years' time. there he is, down safely. look at that! a 102—year—old australian woman currently holds the record for oldest skydiver. that's why he wants to go back again. quite an achievement. isn't it? lots of different things happened yesterday at wimbledon, sally. a really intriguing day, wasn't it? good morning. really interested to know what people think aboutjo konta's press conference last night. she was clear after her defeat to strycova in her press conference that she was an athlete, a competitor on court and she got beaten. she didn't like the tone of her question so i really curious. let me know how you think she responded and how she was spoken to. plenty more to talk about, news on andy murray and serena williams to come but first of this report from ben croucher.

this is howjohanna bowed out in the quarter—finals but this was not her shot at wimbledon this year. the british number one was questioned in the press conference whether her performance on some of the big points meant she should look harder at herself. this was her response. i don't think you need to pick on me ina harsh i don't think you need to pick on me in a harsh way. i think i'm very open with you guys, and i say how i feel out there and if you don't want to a cce pt feel out there and if you don't want to accept that answer or you don't agree with it, that fine. but i still believe in the tennis i play andi still believe in the tennis i play and i still believe in the way i completed. for most of those first that that way looks to be enough for a second wimbledon semi—final, but as her best deserted her, strycova flourish. winning a tiebreak before brushing konta aside 6—1 in the second. winning a tiebreak before brushing konta aside 6-1 in the second. from someone who presumably wants to go

on, learn from this and win a grand slam in the future... please don't patronise me. i'm not patronising you. you are, in the way you're asking your question, you are patronising me. i'm a professional competitor who did her best today and that's all there is to that. competitor who did her best today and that's all there is to thatm found... you don't want to she well and likely... hopefully she can let her tennis do the talking. ben croucher, bbc news and. —— ben croucher, bbc news. konta missed out on the chance to play serena williams in the last four. the seven—time champion was pushed hard by fellow american alison riske before prevailing in three sets. the other semi—final will be between elina svitolina and the former world number one simona halep. the romanian, who knocked out coco gauff on monday, is the highest seed left in the women's draw.

serena williams returned to centre court a couple of hours later to team up with andy murray in the mixed doubles to great effect. they're through to the last 16 with williams' return particularly impressive in their straight sets win over 14th seeds fabrice martin and raquel atawo. but the question everybody wants to know the answer to — what do we call the new williams/murray partnership? we spoke to serena earlier on today. she mentioned that the name of the pair has been christened murena. was that a unilateral decision or was it done by committee? that a unilateral decision or was it done by committee ?|j that a unilateral decision or was it done by committee? i think serena's the boss, so whatever she says goes. wise man! and if you wondered how williams keeps her body going between those matches, here's your answer. a warm—down on the bike with her daughter 0lympia in her arms. now, we're barely intojuly, the start of the football season is a month away, but the early stages of the champions league

are already underway. celtic beat fk sarajevo 3—1 in bosnia in the first leg of their first qualifying round. mikeyjohnston scoring the pick of the goals in the first half. the second leg takes place next wednesday at celtic park. welsh side saints drew 1—1. the first semi—final at the cricket world cup will have to be finished today. new zealand were struggling on 211—5 in the 47th over when rain wiped out play in manchester. weather permitting, they'll finish their innings this morning before india attempt to reach the final against either england or australia. geraint thomas stayed out of trouble on stage 4 of the tour de france, as his former teammate elia viviani won sprint into nancy. thomas remains 45 seconds behind leaderjulian alaphillipe. i know we talked about serena williams a lot this morning but i wa nt to williams a lot this morning but i want to show you this. a picture i spoke about a while ago, the cover

of harper's bazaar magazine. serena williams has given an interview with them, talking about high points and low points in her career. it's not an interview, it's a personal essay all in her own words and she's done this incredible photo shoot, amazing and a little cheeky at times. but the interesting thing is it is completely un—retouched, she wanted to look like she looks. she talked about sexism in the women's game, how she is spoken to, how she is dealt with by umpires in the women's game. interesting with jo konta in the press conference saying one of the journalists patronised her. interesting those stories came out together. we will be back with you later. we will continue to talk about serena williams later. with the likes of the

long—established williams sisters, and now teenage sensation coco gauff leaving a big impression in her wimbledon debut, it's clear there's no shortage of black and ethnic minority talent in the tennis world. and it's hoped their huge success will inspire a whole new generation to get serious about the sport, as nomia iqbal reports. coming to wimbledon is definitely a moment to capture, especially for these young girls. you do come here and sometimes you do feel like an outcast. you know, like, you come here and you see the people normally hear and they dress a certain way and we're not dressed that way. it doesn't matter because eve ryo ne that way. it doesn't matter because everyone is here for the same reason, to watch quality tennis. there from east london and are aspiring tennis coaches. their part of the rogic with the lawn tennis association that aims to encourage people from disadvantaged backgrounds to get into the sport. you see people like our agent like

coco and it's really inspiring to, like, see the people actually achieving their goals and such a young age, and it gives us something we can actually relate to. american teenager coco gal has been the big star of a tournament which critics have often seen as too white and too middle—class. the lta says it wants to open it up to everyone. we've got great role models. jay clarke, paul job, 19 years old, heather watson of course, all sorts coming from a range and diverse series of backgrounds. someone has to lead the way and show it's possible and the father of venus and serena, richard williamson, was the first lack father that showed in a white world there could be rain black women performing and at the highest level. but getting to that high level means a big financial investment. but getting to that high level means a big financial investmentlj but getting to that high level means a big financial investment. i we can afford more tennis facilities in places like hackney, it's not a

tennis community but if they want to develop, from a young age they can develop, from a young age they can develop into professional tennis players. so far, 10,000 young people from diverse backgrounds are involved in the lta's initiative, and these girls are no longer ruling out tennis as part of their future. nomia iqbal, bbc news and. it's just it'sjust inspiring to it's just inspiring to young people as well, a 15—year—old doing so well. the quest is to get more people involved. it goes across all sports, but a particular problem in tennis at the moment. good morning to you both. i am coming tennis at the moment. good morning to you both. iam coming in tennis at the moment. good morning to you both. i am coming in through gate 13 where later on you will see the celebrity and other members of the celebrity and other members of the public coming in. security is a 24—hour operation here. good morning to you all. and i'm here you can see

the clubhouse. this is interesting because in here is where the umpires, the place and their families and guests will eat. you can only enter if you are a member and it is like a village. there is a beautician, you can get theatre tickets, and it all leads across into centre court so you don't even have to bother coming back out here. asi have to bother coming back out here. as i mentioned, not everybody can do that, you have to be a member or an invited guest. this morning it is mild, the temperature about 17 degrees and the forecast for wimbledon today is a mostly dry one. we can't rule out a shower, you could catch one. the forecast for us all today is one of scattered showers or rain and some sunshine as well. if we start off two in the

morning with the rain you can see a lot of it moving overnight across scotla nd lot of it moving overnight across scotland and northern england. behind that there will be some showers for northern ireland and to the south of that for the rest of england and wales, a bit of cloud times, some mist and showers across wales and east anglia. bright skies in the sunshine for the longest run today will be across devon and cornwall, and the channel islands. for northern ireland and scotland we are looking at some showers, heavy and thundery and slow—moving. we will start to see totals mount up. for england and wales, brightest guys but still areas of cloud and bright skies in the south—west and the channel islands. and this is where we see the high temperatures of 26 degrees. moving north, progressively

fresher. another weather front will come into northern ireland bringing rain and through the course of the evening and overnight it had eastwards so i went night for the bulk of england and wales, showers are northern ireland and scotland but mostly dry across the very far south of england and here, again, temperatures drop to 1a or 15 degrees. as you move further north, nine or ten. tomorrow we start with the rain moves away and then is a right mess because we have some cloud, some sunny skies, that the best of which will in the southern counties of england but across the north of the country as temperatures rise in the sunshine we are likely to spark off thunderstorms and once again those could be heavy and slow—moving. again, adding to today's rainfall totals so we are keeping a close eye on that. time now is 647. time now to discuss

the head—to—head debate last night with the speculation about how it would turn out to the two men vying to be britain's next prime minister have clashed clashed for the last time in a head—to—head debate. it was lively, at times bad—tempered, and didn't deliver much on the policy front. they were speaking over each other a lot. it was a confrontation as much as they were able to address each other‘s points. as they were able to address each other's points. i suspect many of you did watch last night and if you did we will do some analysis. joining us from westminster is our political correspondent. i know you we re political correspondent. i know you were watching every single second of it. shall we start? let's talk about tone first of all. it was bad tempered and tetchy. it was. there we re tempered and tetchy. it was. there were points at which the two are com pletely were points at which the two are completely shouting over each other. i think they both basically had things they wanted to say but also wa nted things they wanted to say but also wanted to stop their opponent getting their lines out as well. you

will notice sometimes that when someone is and start to say their own thing for the simple reason that they do not wish the other one to get all their points out. jeremy hunter was the one who really had to go in strong last night, honestly. all the suggestions in the polls and around westminster say that he is behind borisjohnson around westminster say that he is behind boris johnson and around westminster say that he is behind borisjohnson and has a lot of ground to make up. he was the one who wanted these debates and wanted to make the most of them. one of the first things he tried to do was ask borisjohnson as first things he tried to do was ask boris johnson as many first things he tried to do was ask borisjohnson as many questions as possible. difficult questions and things that potentially boris johnson did not want to answer. the first one that came up was whether borisjohnson would quit if he does not deliver brexit by the deadline he set. what we have is someone who says it is do or die... i am sorry. sorry. what we have with my opponent

crosstalk my opponent is not committed to coming out on october 31. so not an answer from borisjohnson there on this specific of whether he would resign but interestingly, on that issue of exit, i thinkjohnson will be slightly happier because they have a simple message. we leave on october 31. question about how they do it and how their man delivers that we have that simple thing to say to voters and we know that conservative voters at the moment are absolutely determined to leave the eu as soon as possible. so that will probably be music to their ears. jeremy hunt's second line of attack last night was a boris johnson tells people what they want to hear. basically mr hunt tried to

make himself look like a manager, saying that he has done manyjobs in government and run a business whereas my opponent may be flips too much and hopes that things will turn out 0k. the difference between you and me is that you are peddling ms and me is that you are peddling ms andl and me is that you are peddling ms and i think we can make a tremendous applause only a defeatist and someone on the other side of the argument for so long and someone who did not to come out would take that line. interesting thatjeremy hunt seemed to think that the mizzen a bad thing because much of borisjohnson's support said that the optimism is probably what we need. things have not been going well politically for the last three years so interjecting some optimism into british political life would be a benefit. another thing that boris johnson life would be a benefit. another thing that borisjohnson has done quite a lot during this campaign is release some policies which have

maybe come under scrutiny, maybe not stood up to the levels of detail that we may expect. again, something that we may expect. again, something thatjeremy hunter thought that we may expect. again, something that jeremy hunter thought that that we may expect. again, something thatjeremy hunter thought that he might be able to get his opponent on the ropes over. the big one was income tax. borisjohnson said in the past that he wants to raise the rate at which people start paying the higher rate of income tax from £50,000 to £80,000. that is a huge leap. when that was announced there was a lot of criticism about that being tax cuts for high earners. since then we don't know exactly what the rest of the tax cuts are but he says he will announce more. let's listen to an exchange between the two on that. it is part of a package... that was the first thing you mentioned. part of a package to ta ke you mentioned. part of a package to take 's you mentioned. part of a package to take '5 crosstalk i you mentioned. part of a package to take 's crosstalk i have spent my

life trying to tell people we are not the party of the rich. of not the party of the rich. of your first tax cuts are for higher rate income earners... feisty, fiery, sometimes angry. interesting to see how the two men fair last night. i think both teams will be fairly happy with elements of how it went but boris johnson we nt of how it went but boris johnson went into it as the favourite and i think he still is this morning. two weeks from today we will know, won't we? weeks from today we will know, won't we ? two weeks from today we will know, won't we? two weeks from today we will be outside downing street as theresa may leaves and one of them enters to become our new prime minister. one of them. we will find out. we will talk more about it throughout the day. 653 now. car manufacturers are now front and centre of everything they do is electric vehicles. steph's at the bentley factory in cheshire. good morning everyone. look at this for a fancy car. there is a lot of

money around me here if you look at the cars because as you say, i am at the cars because as you say, i am at the bentley factory. they employ around 4000 people to make cars here. they have over 10,000 that they make every year here as well. it is certainly a busy operation. in terms of the supply chain is a big pa rt terms of the supply chain is a big part of this. 700 businesses around the world who supply them with parts. it is also their 100th birthday today so we will talk to the ceo in a minute but we are here as well because there is now a big push for cars to be more sustainable and the government want to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2040 and obviously that may sound like a long way off but for car manufacturers it is very much in their game plan of what they will do to make sure they are ready for it. with us here we have the chief executive of bentley. happy birthday for the 100th today. i imagine

things have changed over the last 100 years. how is business at the moment? it is strong. we are on track for a record year in sales and thanks to about 3 billion in investment over the last three or five years we have completely refreshed every model ground up including adding electrified power trains in the plan for the next three years so that every vehicle will have a partial electric power train in the next three years. let's have a walk as we chat. we are talking today about electric cars as well. how seriously are you taking the fact that obviously the government 's thinks it is always nice... we're talking today about electric cars as well. we have committed that by 2023 every option, every car we have will have a plug—in hybrid option and that is a big investment for us and big

commitment. but that combination will work well in big cars and we have committed that by 2025 we will launch our first full electric vehicle. you are right about the time of investment and car life—cycle. that is 2.5 life—cycle of car away so we are getting ready. we are getting ready for the first battery electric vehicle and by 2040 we could have all our cars fully electric. in front of us now is the hybrid model. firstly, how much would this set you back? this would be around £150,000. it is not yet available in the uk market, it will within the next six weeks and across europe but they started about £140,000, £150,000 for a specification. i'm not shocked because i know they are expensive ca rs because i know they are expensive cars in your customers are all over the world. and the terms of this being a hybrid, part plug—in part fuel, how much does it run off the battery? 0bviously that is a big

question. the official figure says that it question. the official figure says thatitis question. the official figure says that it is 50 kilometres, a few miles of pure electric. but that is not the simple answer. it depends how you drive the car. for example i have done 12,000 kilometres in one in europe where almost 50% of the timei in europe where almost 50% of the time i was on electric. we have an american customer testing one for us and in six months, 68% of the time on electric. if you live close to work you can be almost full—time electric. and on a long journey you have the engine to get you there and electric when you are in the city. another test that has been done, they only got 16 miles on the battery so as you say it varies quite a lot. is there a danger that we may think as customers oh, we're being more sustainable because we drive a hybrid and then we still end up drive a hybrid and then we still end up putting loads of fuel in. only if you do long distance on a regular basis. if you do short distances on a regular basis you will run 50, 66%

on electric. it is that simple. and that 60 mile gallon is a us test, an epa test in the real world, i have gotten much more than 16 mile. that is the worst, worst case scenario. differences in air temperature can affect the range of battery performance, not just in affect the range of battery performance, notjust in hybrids but also electric cars. thank you very much for your time and we will have more questions for you later. let's show you around a little more. we have industry experts here who can give us a wider picture on what is happening with electric and hybrid vehicle at the moment but that is it for me for now. time now for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. the number of cases of measles in london has increased by 400% in four years.

new figures from public health england show that a disease which many people thought had been all but eradicated, is on the rise — as the number of toddlers getting the mmr vaccination continues to fall. some london nurseries say they won't take children who haven't been immunised. every single parent who comes through the nursery has vaccinated their child. if there was a situation where a parent said that we do not believe in vaccines, my response would be to say you need to find a different nursery. buskers in kensington and chelsea could face a quieter future — if measures to limit where and how long they can play get approved this evening. the number of complaints about busking in the borough has increased sharply since 2014. tonight the council will decide whether to introduce zones, which would require musicians to follow a code of conduct — or face a thousand pound fine. i don't think it is very nice for people like us. some buskers need to repeat songs because you repeat your

better songs for more money. it will be sad if there was nobody here. plans to close libraries across essex have been scrapped. 25 had been earmarked for closure — despite opposition from residents, authors and celebrities who called them a lifeline in the community. essex county council said its latest decision follows a consultation. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on all tube lines this morning. 0nto the trains and there is disruption to c2c services to and from fenchurch street due to a broken down train. 0nto the roads, and traffic is building on the a13 into town from the goresbrook interchange at dagenham. eversholt street remains closed in both directions between euston station and grafton place due to water main repairs. now the weather with sara thornton. in the end yesterday we had a little

more sunshine than forecast and then temperatures rocketed up into the mid—20s. plenty of warm sunshine later and certainly not a chilly start. 18 degrees right now. a little cloud with an odd stray shower and that is clearing up. sunny spells for the afternoon and generally staying dry in that 25 degrees. dry and clear at first tonight but as the night wears on we have some cloud pushing our way from west and with that some showers first thing tomorrow morning. again, temperatures in the mid— high teens to start tomorrow and at first, yes, showers crossing us but they die out all the time as they head eastwards and behind it for the afternoon the cloud breaks out once more, the cloud breaks up once more and there is plenty of warm sunshine. plenty of warm sunshine for friday, the risk of a stray shower and looking fine and settled for you at the weekend. i'm back with the latest

from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back to charlie and louise. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: a confrontational and lively debate as the two rivals to be the next prime minister go head—to—head, with brexit at the top of the agenda. no, no. i asked you if you'd resign, boris. you didn't answer the question. will you resign if you don't deliver it, yes or no? how many more days exactly would my opponent be willing to delay? how about christmas? a warning that we are not ready for the hotter summers that could come with climate change, experts say more needs to be done to protect the vulnerable. good morning from the bentley factory in crewe, celebrating their 100th birthday here today so i'm talking to them about the future of

ca rs talking to them about the future of cars and what the elect cars of the future might look like. here at wimbledon the dream's over for britain's johanna konta. she loses her quarter—final and takes a parting shot at a critic in her post match press conference. please don't patronise me. reporter: i'm not patronising you. no, no, you are. in the way you're asking your question, you're being quite disrespectful and you're patronising me. things were a little bit friendlier for andy murray and serena williams as they progress in the mixed doubles. the weather here at wimbledon today is set fair. only the very small chance of a shower. warmer and sunnier than yesterday. for the uk asa sunnier than yesterday. for the uk as a whole, heavier rain across the north of the country. more later. it's wednesday, the 10th ofjuly. our top story: the two men vying to be britain's next prime minister have clashed for the only time in the leadership campaign in a heated and confrontational debate. —— leadership. boris johnson and jeremy hunt were asked about brexit, economic policies,

donald trump, and the qualities needed to lead the country. 0ur political correspondent iain watson was watching. it was the only head—to—head debate through the campaign. it was the first time that the candidates had gone head—to—head, and they weren't slow to lock horns. borisjohnson said the uk must leave the uk by october the 31st, butjeremy hunt wanted to know what his opponent would do if this didn't happen. no, no, iasked if you'd resign, boris, and you didn't answer the question. 2 will you resign if you don't deliver it, yes or no? to say he'd absolutely leave the eu by halloween. how much further, how many more days exactly would my opponent be willing to delay? how about christmas? 0uch! and jeremy hunt had a rather unconventional accusation to make. the difference between you and me is you are peddling optimism. and i'm saying we can make a tremendous...

i think this country needs a bit of optimism frankly! there also seemed to be clear blue water on what would happen to the uk ambassador across the pond. he has fallen foul of donald trump. if i am the next prime minister, the ambassador in washington stays. borisjohnson was less categoric. i and i alone will decide who takes important and politically sensitive jobs. jeremy hunt is the underdog who certainly did more than bite at boris johnson's ankles, but the front—runner wasn't savaged, much to competitor's frustration. he has this great ability — you ask them a question, he puts a smile on your face and you forget what the question was. and this sums up how much of a slagging match we've seen. asked to say what one quality he admired in his opponent, borisjohnson seemed to struggle. errmmm, i...

i greatly admire his ability to change his mind. but this debate may, in the end, have changed few minds, with neither candidate delivering a knockout blow. iain watson, bbc news. let's speak now to our political correspondent nick eardley, whojoins us from westminster. 2 two 2two i'm 2 two i'm sure lots of you watched it last night. watching that again, it last night. watching that again, it was really tetchy, wasn't it? it last night. watching that again, it was really tetchy, wasn't mm was. at points it got pretty spiky but there was no knockout blow, as iain referred to, no major jawdropping moment where you thought this good change the leadership race. jeremy hunt's strategy was clear, to put borisjohnson under pressure and it worked. there were points at which borisjohnson just couldn't answer questions directly, like on what he would do about the us ambassador. that's across many of the front pages this morning. things

like heathrow, things like devolution in northern ireland, like his income tax plans. but on the biggest issue facing the conservatives and facing the country, the one we talk about almost everyday at the moment, brexit, i think mrjohnson quite simply had a simple message, we leave by the 31st of october and he managed to land a pretty direct low on mr hunt by repeatedly saying to him, what's your deadline, when do you definitely leave by? he didn't really get an answer to that. worth bearing in mind that whoever takes over the topjob in bearing in mind that whoever takes over the top job in two weeks' time will face a lot of pressure not only from their own side but from brussels and the labour party and from others in parliament, and we saw last night how both of them react under pressure. team johnson and team hunt will have things they can take away from it that they will

be fairly happy with, but it's worth remembering boris johnson went be fairly happy with, but it's worth remembering borisjohnson went into the debate the firm favourite and i don't think that position has been undermined. nick, thank you very much. the uk's preparations for climate change are being run like dad's army with a 'ramshackle' approach to the crisis, according to a scathing new report. the government's chief climate advisors say they are shocked ministers are failing to cut emissions fast enough, and adapt to rising temepratures. environment correspondent roger harrabin reports. first of all, let's just start by looking up... climate warming means more heatwaves are inevitable in the uk, that will leave the elderly vulnerable — they can't expel heat easily. the report says care homes like this will need to be adapted to stay cool, along with hospitals and homes. summer exercise classes here are already accompanied by careful rehydration. during the hot weather period, we ensure that staff are extra vigilant and they have an awareness of how important it is to support our residents in being hydrated, and we do that by offering fluids little and often, offering a variety of

cold and hot options. care homes are a particular problem because of the uk's increasingly elderly population, but many hospitals are overheating too. and even modern flats are sometimes being built with ventilation that's completely inadequate for the sort of temperatures we're likely to expect. climate heating will effect large areas of the uk, the report says. these docks at immingham in humberside are vulnerable to sea level rise. the authors say ministers need to communicate much better what's expected when extreme weather strikes. only the power sector's really on track for meeting its targets on cutting emissions. the transport department comes in for sharp criticism. its emissions have barely dropped. the government insists it is taking climate change very seriously. the committee wants deeds, not words. roger harrabin, bbc news. school uniform must be affordable, accessible and gender—neutral, according to new guidelines by the welsh government. the changes will come

into force from september. a consultation was launched last autumn following the summer heatwave, when some parents claimed uniform policies were too strict and the clothes too expensive. it means that girls will be able to wear trousers and boys will be able to wear skirts. users of amazon's digital assistant alexa will now be able to get medical advice directly from the nhs. from this week, the voice—assisted technology will automatically search the nhs choices website when uk users ask health—related questions. previously it provided information from a range of sources. the department of health in england says it could help to reduce demand on the nhs. frontline police officers say the service in england and wales has been cut back so much it isn't robust enough to respond to changing patterns of crime. officers said they were under constant pressure, with inexperienced staff often carrying out roles they weren't prepared for, and rest days frequently cancelled. the home office said inspections would be carried out to ensure

forces were looking after the welfare of officers and other staff. 0ur police officers and police forces are scrutinised in a way incomparable to ten years ago. any police officer walking round the streets now, everything they do is filmed and therefore that can create a culture of defensiveness and risk aversion. and what i say do that is when things go wrong in policing, we need to be sure that we learn from that. we create a culture of learning rather than a culture of defensiveness. the multi—platinum singer and rapper nicki minaj has cancelled her show in saudi arabia. the artist says she wants to make clear her support for the rights of women, the lgbt community and freedom of expression. her planned performance at the jeddah festival sparked an outcry from human rights activists, because of the country's record on diversity. the queen has told

members of the public she is still perfectly capable of planting a tree at the age of 93. her majesty was originally supposed to be just supervising the tree—planting during a visit to the national institute of agricultural botany in cambridge, but she surprised the crowds by handing her bag to someone and taking the shovel to the ground herself. there we go... i hope at 9031'm still capable of planting a tree. immaculate! she's had quite a lot of practice as well! —— at 93,. as tensions rise in the conservative leadership race, pressure is growing onjeremy corbyn, after three labour peers resigned amid continuing claims of anti—semitism. the party's former general secretary david triesman condemned mr corbyn, as he told newsnight labour was no longer a safe environment forjewish people. i've come to what i think is a very sad decision for me because i've been in the labour party a long

time, served it as its general secretary, that it is institutionally anti—semitic. that its leadership is incapable of dealing with issues of anti—semitism and has no intention of doing so. for me, it's an ethical barrier that i could not climb over and accept. we're joined now by shadow brexit secretary keir starmer. welcome to the programme. thank you very much your time this morning. would you just address that directly stop you are part of the leadership of the labour party, in amongst a a letter of things you heard a second ago, you are accused of having no intention of making this situation better —— litany. intention of making this situation better -- litany. i know david triesman and i'm sad to him go but for me that reinforces a duty we all have two change whatever needs to be changed in our party to make sure people like david, and he's not alone, i have members of my own constituency who have left for the

same reason, we have a duty to do whatever it takes to make sure david and others feel like they can rejoin our party. i think we've got to take some pretty swift, decisive acts. i'm infavourof some pretty swift, decisive acts. i'm in favour of automatically excluding and expelling people in clear cases of anti—semitism. we do it when someone supports and another party at an election and we should do it in cases of anti—semitism. now the equality and commission is looking at the labour party we need to say here the box, here's the files, here's the staff, you've got access to everything, please help us with this so we can come up with some really strong recommendations and make some change. you say that, and make some change. you say that, andi and make some change. you say that, and i look at the official statement from labour, and i'll read it to you, i don't know, maybe you were involved in putting this together. a labour spokeswoman said the party com pletely labour spokeswoman said the party completely rejects these false and offensive claims, saying labour is taking decisive action against

anti—semitism and labour is implacably opposed to anti—semitism that it's determined to root out. this is confusing. we have a statement from the labour party saying they reject the false claims but you seem to be accepting the validity of what lord triesman is saying. i have known david for some time, and there are other people who feel exactly the same as he does. we've got a duty to do something. i don't think anybody in the labour party thinks otherwise and we have improved our processes and sped up the processes, but whatever we've done we still got a problem and therefore we got to redouble and do more. but going back to my central point, and i don't think anyone in the labour party would disagree with this, we have a duty to do whatever is necessary to make sure people like david feel they can rejoin the party. and, as i say, he's not alone, there are other people, i got them in my constituency, who feel

exactly the same and we've got a duty, a joint duty, to do whatever is necessary to make sure people like david feel they can rejoin the party. do you have full confidence jeremy corbyn is the right man... he is front and centre of this, the leader of the party, is he the right man to lead? he is front and centre and he's got a responsibility but we all do. i don't think pointing to one individual helps. he's the leader of the party so inevitably we ask the question of him and also ask about your confidence in his ability to get this right. do you have full confidencejeremy to get this right. do you have full confidence jeremy corbyn can to get this right. do you have full confidencejeremy corbyn can get this right? i do, iwant confidencejeremy corbyn can get this right? i do, i want to work with jeremy corbyn this right? i do, i want to work withjeremy corbyn and i think we need a cabinet meeting to discuss anti—semitism and how we deal with it. we need a dedicated meeting, jeremy has agreed with that because i feel there is a shared responsibility to deal with this and to make sure that we do, as i say, whatever is necessary to ensure that people like david triesman feel that the labour party is the party for them. it's a shared responsibility,

we've all got to pay our part but it does mean we have to take pretty effective action very swiftly. —— play. let's talk about brexit. important times at the moment. can you help us with a couple of clarifies, in a way. if there is a general election, and this is not pie in the sky, this is possibly precisely what you want, will the labour party be advocating remaining let me tell you exactly what we agreed yesterday. we agreed that whatever the outcome now with a new prime minister in two weeks, what he puts before us whether that is a deal or no deal, we say there should bea deal or no deal, we say there should be a referendum, that remains should be a referendum, that remains should be an option and the labour party will be campaigning for remain. that isa will be campaigning for remain. that is a clear, crisp and principled position we adopted yesterday. we

discussed whether or not we should go on and set out our manifesto position. we did not because at the moment the election is not due until 2022 and we do not know the circumstances and at any rate we go through a particular process. what i can say is that as a general rule the labour party deals on policy into its manifesto position. that ma nifesto into its manifesto position. that manifesto will have to be written when we know whether we are having a general election and when and in what circumstances. it is a serious untenable position because it is possible there could be a general election in autumn and you tell me that you are not yet discussing whether or not if, in the event of a general election, you would be a pro remain party. you are not yet discussing it. of course we are discussing it. of course we are discussing it. of course we are discussing it. sorry, you said decided yesterday not to talk about it. we chose not to make a firm decision until we know the circumstances. what is your

thinking? i think the position we adopted yesterday is the right one andi adopted yesterday is the right one and i am pleased with it. whatever the outcome, we need a referendum, remains should be an option and we will campaign for that. i am pleased that we have arrived at it by consensus. trade union is behind it, the shadow cabinet is behind it without dissent and i know it is what our members want. so if you contrast that with some other parties, we have reached a position thatis parties, we have reached a position that is clear, crisp and principled and where we have consensus. it is not easy on a subject like brexit andi not easy on a subject like brexit and i am pleased we have done it. no doubt we will build on it as we go into an election but we don't know when that is. if it is october, before we leave and that presents one set of circumstances. if, by chanceit one set of circumstances. if, by chance it is after we have left and thatis chance it is after we have left and that is a different set of circumstances. of course we are having that discussion. but, actually, you would not expect the shadow cabinet yesterday to set out

what the manifesto position may be with all these different scenarios because we do not actually know what we are facing. thank you very much for your time this morning. good morning you are watching brea kfast good morning you are watching breakfast and let's had now to carol who is... where are you? some kind of cafe ? who is... where are you? some kind of cafe? good morning to you both. this is the per goal the cafe. look where sally is. this is no cafe. this is a champagne bar! and looking very nice as well. but it is busy at the moment because food is being delivered, you can see the roles in here, they smelled delicious. we have letters, doughnuts, the chefs of course and the strawberries. very much a part of wimbledon. strawberries and cream here, they sell 166 thousand per championship

and the other thing is that wimbledon is the largest single annual sporting catering operation and it has 3000 staff. here we are with everybody getting ready for a big crowd later today. strawberries and cream may be popular today because the weather is set fair. the forecast is largely dry, we cannot rule out a shower but you will be unlucky to catch one. highs of up to 25 degrees. across the uk we have renal showers in the forecast and also some sunshine. so this morning at nine o'clock we have that rain across eastern and central scotland, southern scotland and northern england. that will clear through the day but behind it for northern ireland you are looking at showers. showers as well for parts of wales and east anglia but generally for england and wales it is the dry clarity start with sunny

breaks, the best of which will be today across devon and cornwall and the channel islands. through the day you can see how we lose the rain from northern england and eastern scotla nd from northern england and eastern scotland and behind it for northern england, scotland and northern ireland there will be showers. some will be heavy on foundry, some will be slow—moving. for england and wales it will brighten up a touch but there will still be areas of cloud and, like i said, we cannot com pletely cloud and, like i said, we cannot completely rule out a shower. in the sunshine in the south—west and the channel islands we could see highs today of 25 or 26 degrees but generally speaking we are looking at high single figures or into the low 20s. through this evening and overnight we will see a new weather front coming in across northern ireland pushing east bringing heavy rain, slow—moving rain across parts of england and wales away from the south to scotland and northern ireland you will still have cloud at times and some showers. distillers the risk of thunder and lightning.

temperature wise, 29 and 15 or 16. as we start the day tomorrow we begin with the rain in england and wales and that moves away and then it isa wales and that moves away and then it is a messy picture. there will be areas of power, some sunny intervals, brightest of which is in the south but we are also looking at thunderstorms forming across the north, particularly scotland and parts of northern england. there could be slow—moving and heavy and they could lead to some problems. there could be travel disruption, for example, so keep in touch with the weather forecast. we will return to sally later, to discuss the tennis. especiallyjoh konta and her ten she press conference. sometimes things don't go as you imagine, sometimes they are quite routine but this one went off in are quite routine but this one went offina are quite routine but this one went off in a different direction. 723 is the time. imagine 'seeing sound' or 'hearing colour‘. it might sound far—fetched,

but it's a reaction many of us are experiencing on a daily basis. it was previously thought to be a rare occurence, but more than half—a—million of us feel it in some form, as david sillito has been finding out. this is jake palmer, and there is something interesting going on in his brain. he has what is called synaesthesia, his senses sort of overlap and merge so that for instance, sound triggers images of colours and shapes and to help explain, we played him some music. that sounds, just a lot of colour... blue, blue coming off that sound. # you are the dancing queen, young and sweet... that's quite red and orange. her voice is like a pastelly green colour. so the colour of the sitar, the main sitar that is happening there, is purple.

that bit is sort of, it's like pulling the rug out. and it was blue. the days of the week of colours and shapes. wednesday, for instance. wednesday is like a beehive, barley twist thing. and it's got a colour? yeah, yeah, like black, a few bits of white in there but it is mainly like a golden—brown colour. do you ever worry about this? no. no way! ok, jake so each of these wiggly lines is one of the electro—recordings from each of the scalp sites. indeed, it is not that unusual. more than half a million of us have some form of synaesthesia and researchers here at sussex university think it could help unlock some of the mysteries of social life, which brings us to the rubber hand test. it is an illusion.

your real hand is hidden behind a screen and in front of you is a rubber hand, both are then stroked and after a few seconds, something odd can often happen. the feeling seems to be coming from the rubber hand. it's not a real hand but it's really, really convincing. i'm just a bit freaked out. i feel like i want to move it, but i can't. oh my god, that is so weird! that is weird, isn't it? of course, it's not just an illusion. there is some science behind this. this experiment shows how easily senses can be tricked and offers a clue about how the brain processes feelings. we can use this in the lab to try and understand more about body representation, and another thing we do in the lab is that we work with people that had this thing called mirror touch synaesthesia. so mirror touch synaesthesia is where you feel touch on your body

when you see it happen to somebody else. so if i were to touch my face like this, you would feel it on your cheek as well. and if you happen to have mirror touch, sussex wants to talk to you, because that sense of feeling what others feel appears to be linked to a vital life skill — empathy. a gateway to understanding the science of shared emotions. we tried that experiment earlier.m was not 100% successful. what we learned is that you have no empathy whatsoever. i would like to disagree with that. if anybody else would please get in touch. scientists around the world were watching! the hand started feeling a little bit weird but i think you were doing it wrong. we are not scientists so what can we say? do not try it at home.

wrong. we are not scientists so what can we say? do not try it at homelj am not promising to try again later. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. the number of cases of measles in london has increased by 400% in four years. new figures from public health england show that a disease which many people thought had been all but eradicated, is on the rise — as the number of toddlers getting the mmr vaccination continues to fall. some london nurseries say they won't take children who haven't been immunised. every single parent who comes through the nursery has vaccinated their child. if there was a situation where a parent said that we do not believe in vaccines, my response would be to say you need to find a different nursery. buskers in kensington and chelsea could face a quieter future — if measures to limit where and how long they can play get approved this evening. the number of complaints

about busking in the borough has increased sharply since 2014. tonight the council will decide whether to introduce zones, which would require musicians to follow a code of conduct — or face a thousand pound fine. i don't think it is very nice for people like us. some buskers need to repeat songs because if you can repeat your best songs you can get more money. it will be sad if there was nobody here. plans to close libraries across essex have been scrapped. 25 had been earmarked for closure — despite opposition from residents, authors and celebrities who called them a lifeline in the community. essex county council said its latest decision follows a consultation. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on all tube lines this morning, but there are minor delays on the 0verground. 0nto the trains and there

is disruption to c2c services to and from fenchurch street due to a broken down train. 0nto the roads, and traffic is building across putney bridge in both directions. and in hyde park, north carriage drive is closed in both directions between west carriage drive and cumberland gate. now the weather with sara thornton. in the end yesterday we had a little more sunshine than forecast and then temperatures rocketed up into the mid—20s. plenty of warm sunshine later and certainly not a chilly start. 18 degrees right now. a little cloud with an odd stray shower and that is clearing up. sunny spells for the afternoon and generally staying dry in that 25 degrees. dry and clear at first tonight but as the night wears on we have some cloud pushing our way from west and with that some showers first thing tomorrow morning. again, temperatures in the mid— high teens to start tomorrow and at first, yes, showers crossing us but they die out all the time

as they head eastwards and behind it for the afternoon the cloud breaks up once more and there is plenty of warm sunshine. plenty of warm sunshine for friday, the risk of a stray shower and looking fine and settled for you at the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now it's back to charlie and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the two men vying to be britain's next prime minister have clashed a heated and confrontational tv debate. boris johnson and jeremy hunt were asked about brexit, economic policies, donald trump and the qualities needed to lead the country in their only head—to—head of the whole campaign. ballots were sent out last week, and it's thought the majority of the 160,000 conservative members have already

cast their vote. pressure is growing onjeremy corbyn after three labour peers resigned amid continuing claims of anti—semitism. the party's former general secretary david triesman announced he will quit, along with former health minister lord darzi and former royal college of physicians president lord turnberg. lord treisman told newsnight labour was no longer a safe environment forjewish people, but the party's shadow brexit secrery keir starmer told breakfast the party was not afraid to take a tough stance. we've got to take some pretty swift, decisive acts. i'm in favour of automatically excluding and expelling people in clear cases of anti—semitism. we do it where somebody supports another party at an election, we should do it in cases of anti—semitism.

now the equality and human rights commission is looking at the labour party, we need to say here's the books, here's the files, here's the staff, you've got access to everything, please help us with this so we can come up with some really strong recommendations and make some change. the uk's preparations for climate change are being run like dad's army with a ramshackle approach to the crisis, according to a scathing new report. members of the climate change comittee says they are shocked ministers are failing to cut emissions fast enough, and adapt to rising temepratures. the government insists it is taking climate change very seriously. school uniform must be affordable, accessible and gender—neutral, according to new guidelines by the welsh government. the changes will come into force from september. a consultation was launched last autumn following the summer heatwave, when some parents claimed uniform policies were too strict and the clothes too expensive. it means that girls will be able to wear trousers and boys will be able to wear skirts. users of amazon's digital assistant alexa will now be able to get medical advice directly from the nhs.

from this week, the voice—assisted technology will automatically search the nhs choices website when uk users ask health—related questions. previously it provided information from a range of sources. the department of health in england says it could help to reduce demand on the nhs. the multi—platinum singer we will speak to matt hancock, the health secretary, in a few minutes on that subject and also the leaders postdebate last night. that's coming up postdebate last night. that's coming up shortly. frontline police officers say the service in england and wales has been cut back so much it isn't robust enough to respond to changing patterns of crime. officers said they were under constant pressure, with inexperienced staff often carrying out roles they weren't prepared for, and rest days frequently cancelled. the home office said inspections would be carried out to ensure forces were looking after the welfare of officers and other staff.

now, what's the perfect way to celebrate you're100th birthday? tommy hodgson decided a skydive over the cumbrian hills was a fitting way to celebrate his centenary. he says he now hopes to set a new world record by repeating the feat in three years' time. a 102—year—old australian woman currently holds the record for oldest skydiver. extraordinary. have you ever done it? never. would you? white it doesn't enormously appeal. not for me, thank you very much! we're trying to talk about tennis, sally, but difficult to do so when joe conte goes into the press conference and tetchy is one way to describe it —— jo conference and tetchy is one way to describe it ——jo konta.

conference and tetchy is one way to describe it -- jo konta. yes, but she described it as patronising and i'm interested to know what people think this morning. i'll put my neck on the line, reaction to her defeat by strycova yesterday has divided opinion because she accused a journalist of patronising her in the press co nfe re nce . journalist of patronising her in the press conference. i'll defend her and say she had just been beaten in straight sets, and i think the tone of the journalist's questions to her did not help her in her responses in a nyway did not help her in her responses in anyway at all. and sometimesjo will be really warm and friendly and sometimes she won't, but she's not focused on interviews, she's focused on herjob, that's tennis and that's what she doing. some saying she had a sense of humour failure stop what she doing. some saying she had a sense of humourfailure stop in judge for yourselves. here's ben croucher‘s report. —— some saying she had a sense of humourfailure. this is howjohanna konta bowed out in the quarter—finals but this was not her shot at wimbledon this year. after losing 12 of the last 15 games

in her defeat to the unseeded barbora strycova, the british number one was questioned in the press conference whether her performance in the big points meant she should look harder at herself. i don't think you need to pick on me in a harsh way. i think i'm very open with you guys, and i say how i feel out there. if you don't want to accept that answer or you don't agree with it, that's fine, but i still believe in the tennis i that play and i still believe in the way i completed. for most of those first, that way looked to be enough for a second wimbledon semi—final, but as her best deserted her, strycova flourished. winning the tiebreak before brushing konta aside 6—1 in the second. questions to be answered. reporter: for somebody who presumably wants to go on, learn from this and win a grand slam one day... please don't patronise me. i'm not patronising you. no, no, you are. in the way you're asking your question, you're being quite disrespectful and you're patronising me. i'm a professional competitor who did her best today, and that's all there is to that.

konta's defence found plaudits from a former pro too. as a tennis player, you just can't allow yourself to be bullied like this in a press conference from someone who probably never picked a racket himself and never been on centre court. well, konta has, and will likely return to try for a maiden wimbledon title next year. and hopefully she can let her tennis do the talking. ben croucher, bbc news. konta missed out on the chance to play serena williams in the last four. the seven—time champion was pushed hard by fellow american alison riske before prevailing in three sets. we've gone from a little bit of tension to a lot of love now. the match between serena williams and andy murray in the mixed doubles yesterday, they were successful, and they got on like a house on fire. they're through to the last 16 with williams' return particularly impressive in their straight sets win over 14th seeds fabrice martin and raquel atawo. football to tell you about now. the early stages of the champions league are already underway. celtic beat sarajevo 3—1

in bosnia, in the first leg of their first qualifying round. mikeyjohnston scoring the pick of the goals in the first half. welsh side new saints drew 2—2 in their match. rangers comfortably beat stjoseph's of gibraltar 4—0 in the first leg of the europa league first qualifying round. summer signing sheyi 0jo with the pick of the goals on his debut. the first semi—final at the cricket world cup will have to be finished today. new zealand were struggling on 211—5 in the 47th over when rain wiped out play in manchester. geraint thomas stayed out of trouble on stage 4 of the tour de france as his former teammate elia viviani won the sprint into nancy. thomas remains 45 seconds off the lead. before i go, ijust want to share some images that have come through this morning on the cover of harper's bazaar in the us. serena williams has written an essay all about the mistakes she's made over the last year, talking about losing her temper and being fined for being

mean to umpires and she basically explained sometimes she feels that she is on the wrong end of sexist behaviour. she talks all about that. but the pictures are quite revealing. a little bit cheeky, shall we say? interestingly, she had to have a guarantee from them that she didn't want any of the pictures to be retouched. 0n the cover of a big glossy magazine like harper's bazaar, that is pretty much unheard of. very interesting. sally, thanks very much and if anyone wants to get in touch about their thoughts onjo konta and the press conference, we would be delighted to hear from them. thanks, sally. always fascinating to see a production line, no matter what they are making. 's is at a very interesting one. —— steph's at. steph's at the bentley factory in cheshire. this is where they put the bentleys

together, it would set you back a bit! 80% roughly are exported. they have about 4000 people working in this plant and they make over 10,000 ca rs this plant and they make over 10,000 cars a this plant and they make over 10,000 ca rs a year. this plant and they make over 10,000 cars a year. obviously very high end ca rs cars a year. obviously very high end cars that will set you back at least £130,000, and cars that will set you back at least £130 , 000, and that's cars that will set you back at least £130,000, and that's for a cheap one i'm told! it's a factory that's an important part of uk manufacturing and there are two reasons why we are here. firstly, it's their100 birthday today, good to turn up for a party and a bit of cake, but importantly the government has talked about banning the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2040, which might sound like a long way off but for these guys, this is an important part of their planning now. bentley is one of the car manufacturers looking at developing and have developed hybrid cars, but also looking at fully electric. peter is from cardiff business school and is the head of the automotive industry research sector stop you know lots about this

sector. how easy is it for these car manufacturers to start making electric cars? it's a major challenge stop either technology is established but if you want high volume and high quality, you need a new platform and organisation of the supply chain. it's not a simple step, it requires huge investment. we've seen hybrid models coming through for some time, but the real pushis through for some time, but the real push is fully electric cars. how easyis push is fully electric cars. how easy is that? at the moment in the uk we don't have the capacity in terms of battery manufacturing. across europe now, major investments are being made but these will take some years and it echoes all the way back down to the supply chain to the key materials that many companies around the world are struggling to try to capture. the thing that fascinated me talking to the chief executive of bentley is how far you can go on the battery element. there's tests of 16 miles with the

battery to miles or whatever. it's not very far, is it? at the moment for a typical plug—in hybrid, it's not very far, typically 30 miles. that's ok for inner—city use but not enough for really long distance motoring. the real challenge is the pure battery electric car that can doa pure battery electric car that can do a long—range. pure battery electric car that can do a long-range. so what needs to happen? we need major investments in technology but we need to understand the supply infrastructure in terms of recharging cars needs to be upgraded. but amongst other things, we need stability in the technology and that's a real problem. is changing so fast that customers can't keep up! peter, thanks for your time can't keep up! peter, thanks for yourtime —— can't keep up! peter, thanks for your time —— it's. the other side of this is people buying the cars and we have rachel burgess from whatcar magazine. in terms of sales, what are your thoughts? year to date, it's about 6% electrified vehicles,

plug—in hybrids, hybrids and electric vehicles but of that electric vehicles but of that electric vehicles but of that electric vehicles are less than 1%, so electric vehicles are less than 1%, so really small numbers in terms of the buying market for cars. within that, electric vehicles have grown by 60% this year. even though there's small numbers, there's momentum growing in this area. there's small numbers, there's momentum growing in this areal! there's small numbers, there's momentum growing in this area. is it because of the cost? we've talked about this on the programme before, they are still very expensive for your everyday person. the average car these days costs £33,000, which i think is quite a lot. there is a lot of electric vehicles already under that. hyundais, kias, lot of electric vehicles already underthat. hyundais, kias, nissan around £20,000 to £30,000. over the next 12 months when we see more to the market, it will become more a cce pta ble the market, it will become more acceptable and people will start considering electric as a proposition. do you think it's definitely going to grow? yes. looking at this year's figures,

looking at who is bringing out cars, mini brought out one, built in oxford, volkswagen are bringing an electric golf. they have the brand cachet for people to think they could do electric. there's range anxiety and infrastructure, but there's not really issues therefore most people. recent research from we lovely to talk to you as ever. lovely to talk to you as evenm you've got any thoughts, let me know. you might already have hybrid oran know. you might already have hybrid or an electric car and you might be thinking about it. so exciting to see manufacturing in action. i know i always bang on about it but behind—the—scenes and watching the production line this morning, definitely a good one! is that car you can see in front of you ready to go? not quite. a few it has to go through. they put it through a

testing facility. a guy will drive it and he will run it over different scenarios, like cobbled roads and various different things to work out how it functions. but it's not far off. it looks the part. we can't afford it but it looks the part! somebody might drive past us in it i guess! thanks very much! always intriguing how things are built. also people interested in the weather, that's how carroll stepped in with all the answers. bye for now. weather, that's how carroll stepped in with all the answers. we are here at the number to court, the sunken treasure, built on the site of what used to be caught 13. the court has been nicely prepped, the covers are of and work will now start to make sure it is pristine for play later on. and even though we are well into the second week you can see that the court is still in good condition. the weather is as well because here this morning it is mild with

temperatures around 16 degrees currently. in london currentlyjust over 18 degrees. so that sets us up for a mild over 18 degrees. so that sets us up fora mild and over 18 degrees. so that sets us up for a mild and warm day wherever you are. the forecast for wimbledon today, once again, a mostly dry one. we cannot totally rule out a shower but depending on your point of view you will be unlucky to catch one. some intervals developing with highs reaching 25 and gentle breezes. that's not the forecast for the country as a whole because we have showers and rain in the forecast and a bit of cloud first thing as well. starting at nine o'clock you can see the overnight rain, some quite heavy as it advances eastwards across scotla nd as it advances eastwards across scotland and also northern ireland. behind it we have some showers. showers already have been thundery across north—eastern galloway and we will see more in northern ireland. the rain and northern end england pushes east. —— northern england. a

couple showers knocking around, still some cloud with brighter skies across the south so south wales, devon and cornwall, the isles of scilly and the channel islands. through the day the rain pushes off into the north sea with showers across the north following behind and those are likely to be heavy and thundery if you catch one and slow—moving at that. if you catch one you will know all about it. for england and wales we look at a brighter prospect with fewer showers. best of the sunshine in the south—west and the channel islands and this is where we see the highs temperature, reaching about 26 degrees. widely 19, 22. through the evening and overnight there will be a new weather front coming into northern ireland, the latter part of the afternoon bringing rain steadily moving west to east so a wet night away from the south. for northern ireland and scotland, dry weather and some murky conditions and a few showers. as a result it will not be

a cold night. tomorrow is a messy one to describe. essentially we have a weather front pushing across england and wales, taking the rain with it. behind it, areas of cloud with it. behind it, areas of cloud with sunny skies as temperatures rise sparking off showers and tomorrow, especially across scotland and northern england, we will see some torrential downpours and thunderstorms slow—moving, adding to the rainfall today that could cause some problems. something we are keeping a very keen eye on. you talk about a keen eye but look behind you. someone is doing a forensic analysis of the baseline there. yes. they are counting the grass and measuring it, to see how much grass there is in one little pocket. they measure it! it is amazing. it is open nicotine. you are absolutely right —— it is so pernickety. and

good use of the word pernickety. right —— it is so pernickety. and good use of the word pernicketym is not used enough. on the tennis theme, one of the emerging images, the williams sisters, there are generations now coming out saying that they watched them and they can now see what lack women can do in tennis. and coco spoke about that when she played this week. there is still a way to go in the uk and it is hoped that huge success will inspire whole new generation is to get serious about tanner's. —— tennis. coming to wimbledon is definitely a moment to capture, especially for these young girls. you do come here and sometimes you do feel like an outcast. you know, like, you come here and you see, like, the people that are normally here, and they dress a certain way.

we're not dressed that way. it doesn't matter because at the end of the day, everyone is here for the same reason — to watch quality tennis. all: greenhouse! they're from east london and are aspiring tennis coaches. they're part of the project with the lawn tennis association that aims to encourage people from disadvantaged backgrounds to get into the sport. you see people like our age like coco, and it's really inspiring to, like, see that people are actually, like, achieving their goals and such a young age, and it gives us someone we can actually relate to. american teenager coco gauff has been the big star of a tournament which critics have often seen as too white and too middle—class. the lta says it wants to open it up to everyone. we've also got great role models. you look at someone like jay clarke. we've got... pauljubb, 19 years old. heather watson, of course. we've got a whole bunch of players coming through from a range and of a diverse background.

someone has to lead the way and show it's possible. the father of venus and serena, richard williams, was the first black father that showed in a white world there could be black women performing and at the highest level. but getting to that high level means a big financial investment. i hope that we can afford more tennis facilities for places like hackney, where it's notjust community but people can, if they want to, develop — come at a young age and develop into professional tennis players. so far, 10,000 young people from diverse backgrounds are involved in the lta's initiative, and these girls are no longer ruling out tennis as part of their future. nomia iqbal, bbc news and. it is worth saying, related to what sally was talking about with the

press co nfe re nce sally was talking about with the press conference forjoh konta and serena williams comments about the treatment of women in tennis. there isa treatment of women in tennis. there is a theme from both of those players suggesting that they sometimes feel like they are treated differently from the men in the way the press project them. that also has an impact on whether or not people are encouraged to enter the sport. you saw the whole conference forjoh konta, she was the concerned about the tone. you do need to make your own judgement. about the tone. you do need to make your ownjudgement. people about the tone. you do need to make your own judgement. people will listen to it and draw their own conclusion. whether she responded to quickly. and while talking about serena williams, she has been talking in harper's bazaar about the outburst, that incident that she had on the court where she was fined over £13,000 for calling an umpire a

liar, a thief and sexes. she wrote saying the punishment was shameful and women are not allowed to show their emotions. she also said, and i did not know this, she said she started to see a therapist as she was searching for answers and she still did not feel ready to pick up a racket. and the one point that is positive about her at the moment is that she is playing fantastically well. and anyone who caught it limbs of her and andy murray, there were? is at the beginning, mixed doubles, they come into it a bit iffy but she was fully on board. it is also worth mentioning some of the front pages this morning concentrating on the events last night with borisjohnson and jeremy hunt face—to—face for the first time. it was a confrontation, really. there were moments when they

we re very really. there were moments when they were very much at odds over specific issues. you can see this picture here, a lovely story about the queen aged 93 and she had to plant a tree. she refused to help. she chose the planted, she was not meant to do it. celebrating the front page of the guardian, a diplomatic crisis flaring as donald trump tweet out fresh abuse regarding the uk ambassador in the united states. we are hoping to talk to matt hancock shortly about the nhs and amazon,, their smart speaker alexa will be given access to the nhs so if you ask alexa what other symptoms of influenza it will automatically go to the nhs website. and not give you random information from elsewhere. this is breakfast. we talk to a man

about the high—tech filming techniques behind the bbc‘s new nature series. it is not a documentary, it is a drama. they have written it like a story which isa have written it like a story which is a very different approach. you almost feel like you need to sit back a bit when that ostrich... is that what it is? yes. that is what it is. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. the number of cases of measles in london has increased by 400% in four years. new figures from public health england show that a disease which many people thought had been all but eradicated, is on the rise — as the number of toddlers getting the mmr vaccination continues to fall. some london nurseries say they won't take children who haven't been immunised. every single parent who comes through the nursery has

vaccinated their child. if there was a situation where a parent said that we do not believe in vaccines, my response would be to say you need to find a different nursery. buskers in kensington and chelsea could face a quieter future — if measures to limit where and how long they can play— get approved this evening. the number of complaints about busking in the borough has increased sharply since 2014. tonight the council will decide whether to introduce zones, which would require musicians to follow a code of conduct — or face a thousand pound fine. i don't think it is very nice for people like us. some buskers need to repeat songs because if you can repeat your best songs you can get more money. it will be sad if there was nobody here. plans to close libraries across essex have been scrapped. 25 had been earmarked for closure — despite opposition from residents, authors and celebrities who called them a lifeline in the community.

essex county council said its latest decision follows a consultation. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on all tube lines this morning but there are minor delays on the overground. 0nto the trains and there is disruption to c2c services to and from fenchurch street due to a broken down train. 0nto the roads and traffic is building across putney bridge in both directions. and lane one is closed for roadworks on the a40 out of town from savoy circus to gypsy corner, acton, as they are putting in a new cycle route. now the weather with sara thornton. in the end yesterday we had a little more sunshine than forecast and then temperatures rocketed up into the mid—20s. plenty of warm sunshine later and certainly not a chilly start. 18 degrees right now. a little cloud with an odd stray shower and that is clearing up. sunny spells for the afternoon and generally staying dry

in that 25 degrees. dry and clear at first tonight but as the night wears on we have some cloud pushing our way from west and with that some showers first thing tomorrow morning. again, temperatures in the mid— high teens to start tomorrow and at first, yes, showers crossing us but they die out all the time as they head eastwards and behind it for the afternoon the cloud breaks up once more and there is plenty of warm sunshine. plenty of warm sunshine for friday, the risk of a stray shower and looking fine and settled for you at the weekend. i'm back in half—an—hour. now though it's back to charlie and louise. bye for now.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today. a confrontational and lively debate as the two rivals to be the next prime minister go head—to—head, with brexit at the top of the agenda. no, no, i asked you if you'd resign, boris. you didn't answer the question. will you resign if you don't deliver it, yes or no? how many more days exactly would my opponent be willing to delay? how about christmas? a warning that we are not ready for the hotter summers that could come with climate change. experts say more needs to be done to protect the vulnerable.

good morning from the bentley factory in crewe. they are celebrating their 100th birthday here today. i'm going to be talking to them about the cars they are developing for the future. here at wimbledon, the dream's over for britain's johanna konta. she was beaten in straight sets yesterday but did not like a question she was asked in her press conference. please don't patronise me. i wouldn't. .. i'm not. no, no, you are, in the way that you're asking the question, you are being quite disrespectful and you're patronising me. things were a little bit friendlier for andy murray and serena williams as they progress in the mixed doubles. and the weather looks set fair at wimbledon, only an outside chance of a shower. for many of us, dry with some sunshine but some heavy rain in the forecast. i will be back with more with sally later, to tell you where.

good morning. it's wednesday, 10th ofjuly. our top story. the two men vying to be britain's next prime minister have clashed a heated and confrontational tv debate. boris johnson and jeremy hunt were asked about brexit, economic policies, donald trump, and the qualities needed to lead the country in their only head—to—head of the whole campaign. 0ur political correspondent iain watson was watching. it was the first time that the candidates had gone head—to—head, and they weren't slow to lock horns. borisjohnson said the uk must leave the eu by october the 31st, butjeremy hunt wanted to know what his opponent would do if this didn't happen. no, no, iasked if you'd resign, boris, and you didn't answer the question. will you resign if you don't deliver it, yes or no? in return, borisjohnson wondered whyjeremy hunt was scared to say he'd absolutely leave the eu by halloween. how much further, how many more days exactly would my opponent be willing to delay? how about christmas? muted audience laughter.

and jeremy hunt had a rather unconventional accusation to make. the difference between you and me is you are peddling optimism. and i'm saying we can make a tremendous... i think this country needs a bit of optimism, frankly! there also seemed to be some clear blue water on what would happen to the uk ambassador across the pond. he has fallen foul of donald trump. if i am our next prime minister, the ambassador in washington stays. borisjohnson was less categoric. i and i alone will decide who takes important and politically sensitive jobs. jeremy hunt is the underdog and he certainly did more than bite at boris johnson's ankles. but the frontrunner wasn't savaged, much to his competitor's frustration. he has this great ability. you ask him a question, he puts a smile on your face and you forget what the question was. and this summed up how much of a slanging match we'd seen. asked to say what one quality he admired in his opponent,

borisjohnson seemed to struggle. erm, i... audience laughter. i greatly admire his ability to change his mind. but this debate may, in the end, have changed few minds, with neither candidate delivering a knockout blow. iain watson, bbc news. we will be talking about that further with a couple ofjournalists who are watching as well and the health secretary is coming up as well, matt hancock, in about five minutes. in other news. pressure is growing onjeremy corbyn after three labour peers resigned amid continuing claims of anti—semitism. the party's former general secretary david triesman announced he will quit, along with two other members of the party in the house of lords. the shadow brexit secretary keir starmer told breakfast labour is not afraid to take a tough stance. we have got to take some pretty swift, decisive acts. i am

we have got to take some pretty swift, decisive acts. iam in we have got to take some pretty swift, decisive acts. i am in favour of automatically excluding and expelling people in clear cases of anti—semitism. we do it where somebody supports another political party at an election for that we should do it in clear cases of anti—semitism. we should be much clearer that denying we have got a problem is a problem. ithink clearer that denying we have got a problem is a problem. i think now the equality and human rights commission is looking at the labour party, we need to say, "he the books, the files and the staff, you've got access to everything, please help us with this so we can come up with some really strong recommendations and make some real change". the uk's preparations for climate change are being run like dad's army with a "ramshackle" approach to the crisis, according to a scathing new report. the government's chief climate advisors say they are shocked ministers are failing to cut emissions fast enough, and adapt to rising temepratures. our environment correspondent roger harrabin reports. first of all, let's just start by looking up... climate warming means more heatwaves are inevitable in the uk. that will leave the elderly vulnerable. they can't expel heat easily.

the report says care homes like this will need to be adapted to stay cool, along with hospitals and homes. summer exercise classes here are already accompanied by careful rehydration. during the hot weather period, we ensure that staff are extra vigilant and they have an awareness of how important it is to support our residents in being hydrated. and we do that by offering fluids little and often, offering a variety of cold and hot options. climate heating will effect large areas of the uk, climate heating will affect large areas of the uk, the report says. these docks at immingham in humberside are vulnerable to sea level rise. the authors say ministers need to communicate much better what's expected when extreme weather strikes. this really isn't good enough. there is an emergency to reduce the hazard, to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, but actually, we are seeing the climate change. even if we are on the 1.5 degrees path, the climate is going to go on changing.

we are going to see more severe weather. the 2018 summer is going to be, by 2050, it is going to be our normal summer. 50% of summers will be like that and some will be even hotter and we are just not ready for it. only the power sector's really on track for meeting its targets on cutting emissions. the transport department comes in for sharp criticism. its emissions have barely dropped. the government insists it is taking climate change very seriously. the committee wants deeds, not words. roger harrabin, bbc news. school uniform must be affordable, accessible and gender—neutral, according to new guidelines by the welsh government. the changes will come into force from september. a consultation was launched last autumn following the summer heatwave, when some parents claimed uniform policies were too strict and the clothes too expensive. it means that girls will be able to wear trousers and boys will be able to wear skirts. frontline police officers say the service in england and wales has

been cut back so much, it isn't "robust" enough to respond to changing patterns of crime. officers said they were under constant pressure, with inexperienced staff often carrying out roles they weren't prepared for, and rest days frequently cancelled. the home office said inspections would be carried out to ensure forces were looking after the welfare of officers and other staff. the multi—platinum singer and rapper nicki minaj has cancelled her show in saudi arabia. the artist says she wants to make clear her support for the rights of women, the lgbt community and freedom of expression. her planned performance at the jeddah festival sparked an outcry from human rights activists, because of the country's record on diversity. injust over two weeks, we'll have a new prime minster, and last night, the two remaining contenders, borisjohnson and jeremy hunt, went head—to—head in their one and only debate of the campaign. let's now speak now to boris johnson backer, health secretary matt hancock.

good morning, and i know you've got an announcement about the nhs which we will come to in a minute if that is ok. good morning. we will come to in a minute if that is ok. good morninglj we will come to in a minute if that is ok. good morning. i want to pick up is ok. good morning. i want to pick up on some of the questions he was asked and did not necessarily answer last night and see if you can help us with that. he was asked if he would quit if he does not deliver brexit on the 31st of october. will he and should he? i think that we must deliver brexit on the 31st of 0ctober. he's been absolutely crystal clear about that. it is not a matter of resignations, it is a matter of delivering for the country. that is what we need to do. if he doesn't, should he quit? no, i think he should deliver. right, how is he going to do that? the eu co nsta ntly, is he going to do that? the eu constantly, we have heard it time and again, say they are not going to change things. the eu, of course, hold that position now, but they don't want a no—deal brexit, and nor don't want a no—deal brexit, and nor do i. don't want a no—deal brexit, and nor doi.i don't want a no—deal brexit, and nor do i. i want to deliver on the

result of the referendum, over three yea rs result of the referendum, over three years ago, now. i want to do that with a deal and the eu take the same position. they want us to leave with a deal. it is incumbent on both sides to come to an agreement that can carry the house of commons and can carry the house of commons and can get us out on the 31st of 0ctober. that is doable. it will require negotiation, of course. then we have got to deliver that. can i ask you another question as well? about the british ambassador and what boris johnson about the british ambassador and what borisjohnson said. he didn't choose to back the ambassador. why not? well, because the relationship with the us is so important, it is bigger than any individual. but the ambassador, sir kim darroch, is a brilliant man. i've worked closely with him. he was doing hisjob in explaining very clearly, without fear or favour, what he thought was happening inside the white house. he

was telling the truth as he saw it. so why does borisjohnson not back him, then? we do have to reset our relations with the united states. so who is running the policy, then? how do you mean? so if you have to reset and is donald trump running the policy, then? no, it will be the british prime minister, whoever that is, whether it isjeremy hunt or borisjohnson. i is, whether it isjeremy hunt or boris johnson. i hope is, whether it isjeremy hunt or borisjohnson. i hope it will be borisjohnson. i hope it will be borisjohnson. i hope it will be boris johnson because borisjohnson. i hope it will be borisjohnson because i think he's got the best chance of getting the country moving forward. i think it isa country moving forward. i think it is a good thing that boris has got a good relationship with the white house. i think it is a way is important for britain to have a strong relationship with the american president, whoever they are. boris has got that. we need to make sure that that relationship remains strong and goes from strength to strength.” remains strong and goes from strength to strength. i want to ask you with your health secretaryjob in mind, really, about... i did not count how many times he said it but he said we must get ready, we must

prepare, many many times and he also talked about securing the just—in—time supply chain. what is borisjohnson doing just—in—time supply chain. what is boris johnson doing to just—in—time supply chain. what is borisjohnson doing to prepare the nhs? at the moment, he's running to be prime minister. i'm doing thejob of preparing the nhs. what has he told you about it? he has said that we must prepare and that is exactly what i have been doing for the last year. the preparations were made in the run—up to the 29th of march, and we are renewing and ramping up those preparations in case there is a no deal exit on the 31st of october. that is not my preference but we have got to prepare. let's talk about medicines particularly, the just—in—time supply chain, is that secure? we are doing all of the work necessary to make sure that it is. now it is partly the work of government, and we are doing that, but it is also partly the work of the pharmaceutical supply chain and they are prepared. we got ready for

they are prepared. we got ready for the 29th of march and i am confident that we will be ready for the 31st of october as well. we learned a lot from doing it last time. we have got what is needed in place to make sure that we can have the free flow of medicines in the event of no deal. cani medicines in the event of no deal. can i ask you, which of the two candidates is guaranteeing you more investment in the nhs? we havejust put a massive investment into the nhs. boris has talked about putting further investment in. for instance, some of the nhs budget is still to be settled, like the training budget, and making sure we fix social care as well. we still have work to do, and borisjohnson has made clear that he wants to see the support and funding for the nhs continue to increase, which you can only do with a strong economy,. what cani only do with a strong economy,. what can i ask you also about the announcement you are going to make later about amazon's alexa giving free access to patients and also

free access to patients and also free access to nhs resources stock” think you said a year ago, you said you wouldn't have won because there is an essential humanity that we have to preserve. do you have one and has your mind changed? no, i don't have an alexa. as it happens, my dad does. and millions of people across the country do. i want people, when they ask alexa, to get the best possible medical advice if they ask for it. the way to do that, and the collaboration we are putting in place, means that if you ask alexa in future, you will get nhs advice, the very best advice in the world. in your quote that i have used, you did not say that you did not say it... i did say it and i agree with it, obviously. are we losing what he said, essential humanity? isn't what you need when you are feeling and a doctor? yes, we need that as well. this isn't an either or. people already ask alexa medical questions. that happens it millions of homes across the

country. i want, millions of homes across the country. iwant, when millions of homes across the country. i want, when people ask those questions, that they get the very best advice. for instance, if you ask if you should vaccinate your children, i wanted to get the nhs medical advice that says yes, you should. —— i want you to get. i also wa nt should. —— i want you to get. i also want people to be able to go and see their doctor and go to their doctor's surgery, obviously. the two go hand—in—hand. in the same way that some people want to go to the doctors over their smartphone, over skype. doctors over their smartphone, over skype, people do that and i think it is terrific but others want to go into the surgery and have the face—to—face conversation. we have got to use all of this technology to make sure that the resources that go into the nhs go as far as possible, but crucially, people are already asking alexa for medical advice, so let's give them the very best advice. matt hancock, thank you very much indeed. we should point out there are other smart speakers available as well.

8:15am. we are going to reflect for a moment with tom newton dunn, political editor of the sun and jessica elgot, the chief political correspondence of the guardian. nice to see you in the studio and you are here because it just to see you in the studio and you are here because itjust happened over the road. literally across the road. give us a snapshot, what did you witness last night with yellow the striking thing was how bitter it was between the candidates, boris johnson is the clear frontrunner. you might have expected jeremy hunt to hold back a bit, perhaps he wants a job to hold back a bit, perhaps he wants ajob in to hold back a bit, perhaps he wants ajobina to hold back a bit, perhaps he wants a job in a borisjohnson cabinet but he did not do that, he went for him, particularly asking him whether he should resign if he does not manage to deliver brexit by the 31st of 0ctober. he hinted that he had gratuitously insulted the eu. boris johnson also hit back in the way a front runner doesn't necessarily need to do. it suggested thatjeremy hunt was defeatist and that we did not need a managerial style. it was quite better. what did you think of the tone? it was good, great for the observer and journalists to write

about it. it gave us a very quick story. the problem for newspaper journalists and tv journalist is that you have got to package things quickly and we have to turn around the copy for the first edition, they we re the copy for the first edition, they were at each other's throats in the first two minutes and jessica is right, i don't think we were expecting that kind of animosity. they also really got under each other's skin for the first time, certainly in the second part, talking about tax policy. jeremy hunt clearly riled boris johnson talking about tax policy. jeremy hunt clearly riled borisjohnson by accusing him of being it for the rich. that was boris' which is moment, talking of julie rich. that was boris' which is moment, talking ofjulie etchingham and losing his temper for the first time, i think. and losing his temper for the first time, ithink. that and losing his temper for the first time, i think. that was interesting for us. so far, borisjohnson has had a very carefully managed and highly successful campaign, in which he has kept stubborn brain like, as the phrase goes, undisturbed by anything that was thrown his weight until last night, which i think we'll have given jeremy until last night, which i think we'll have givenjeremy hunt a bit of hope. there is vulnerability. this is a curious moment, isn't it? 0n the one hand, there's only one small group of people that they have

to appeal to right now to get the gig- to appeal to right now to get the gig. that is the conservative party members. this felt like they were both playing to a much wider audience. did it feel like that to you? yes, absolutely, and there were certainly moments where it felt like borisjohnson certainly moments where it felt like boris johnson might have certainly moments where it felt like borisjohnson might have lost the room but those moments, which i think included the tax—cut moment that tom highlighted, and also the moment where he did not as robustly defend the uk ambassador as we might have expected him to, those moments, are they the things that are really going to worry the tory base? i don't think that they are. i think borisjohnson is don't think that they are. i think boris johnson is right don't think that they are. i think borisjohnson is right to say don't think that they are. i think boris johnson is right to say that the only thing that really matters to them that there is clarity on is at the october 30 five deadline. did it feel like clarity? i think he did quite a good job of highlighting that there is less clarity onjeremy hunt's position around that man on his. perhaps that is the only issue where there is but he managed to put that out there. picking up on that, tom, are we dealing with levels of lack of clarity? boris would have us

believe that there is complete clarity. yes. but unable to answer, borisjohnson, the specific, which was would he resign if we don't leave on the 31st of october? he was not clear about that but he had a reasonable come back eventually. i think he gamed it out, he said if he said it, it gives his eu counterparts a good reason not to give him a deal if they want him to resign. a slightly clumsy explanation. jeremy hunt was also put, if we are not living on the sist put, if we are not living on the 31st of october, when are they? by christmas? that was probably boris johnson's bass line and got the audience loving. there is a massive lack of clarity from both of the candidates. —— boris johnson's lack of clarity from both of the candidates. —— borisjohnson's best aligned. there's been a massive lack of clarity about breaks throughout. but coming back to the main point, this isn't us, the 40 million voters in britain, this is about the 160,000 voting tory members which is why we have to judge this from a different viewpoint. who won the

debate? different viewpoint. who won the debate ? who different viewpoint. who won the debate? who scored the best points? probablyjeremy debate? who scored the best points? probably jeremy hunt. who debate? who scored the best points? probablyjeremy hunt. who came across as the man who would win a general election? probably boris johnson with the jokes and the characters, that is what the tory party members are looking for, who is going to save their skins, not who is going to be the perfect pm. very briefly, would you agree?” think i would although there are certain moments there whichjeremy hunt managed to bring out in boris johnson's argument which might not play as well with the electorate, like the tax cuts and things that appeal to tory members, perhaps not something that is currently the country's zeitgeist that we are looking for massive tax cuts for the rich. yes, boris johnson's personality perhaps comes across as someone who is more of a capable election winner, butjeremy hunt was bringing up the weaknesses in his electoral argument, to. good to see you, thank you very much forjoining us. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. she is at wimbledon and she has been for the last ten days or so. last time we were with you they were

expecting the grass. what is going on now? we have come down to the sustainability area which is a big thing at wimbledon this year, so let's visit the sustainability manager. good morning. good morning. tell us about it, what are you doing at wimbledon this year? protecting and preserving the environment could not be more important and we want eve ryo ne not be more important and we want everyone to have a great day out at the tennis but we also have a chance to talk to them about things that we really care about. the environment is one of those things. this space is one of those things. this space is really... come and have a look. it is new for us this year. what we have done is we have themed it in areas we can all relate to as individuals. we are talking about planet friendly food and drink, reusing resources, low carbon travel, sustainable fashion and we are talking about some of the things that wimbledon are doing, what might happen in the future, some of the things our partners are doing as well. people can come down and find out, for example, how seafood and fish can be sourced from sustainable

sources, finding out how we are reducing waste, the racket strings, the plastic bags have gone from the stringers. we buy renewable electricity so the lawn mower is putting the stripes on the court in the morning run on renewable electricity. if are one of the thing i've noticed walking around is all the areas where you can refill your water bottle. yes, lots of water refill to try to reduce the amount of waste, they are all over the grounds, some of them even say how many bottles we have avoided by using them. we have also really improved the signs and all of the bins as well. i've got a team of vico champions who go around the grounds helping people put the right thing in the right bed. we need to reduce waste but we need to capture and recycle as much as we possibly can as well. one of the things i liked from when we were speaking before we came on i was the fact you said we are not 100% perfect. certainly not, there's a long way to go and it's the same for everyone, big events of this scale, there are lots of challenges. but i would say the thing i have noticed since i

arrived as we are super committed to this. we know it matters to the people who come to visit and it really matters to us as well. this area is very interactive. describe a bit about it. in each of the areas, there are screens, and on the other side of the screen that you can see, there is an ipad, and people can vote. you can influence the scores on the doors for each of these areas, so obviously, they are themed about planet friendly foods, low carbon travel, so you can have your say on what matters most to you. there is a game as well in the food and drink area about where in the uk to certain bits of food that we sell come from. it is so interesting and please excuse me walking right in front of you but such a pleasure talking to you. thank you very much. these are the bins that hattie was referring to with the dry and mixed recycling and a general waste. outside at wimbledon this morning, it is quite mild. the forecast for wimbledon today is a dry one. we will see some sunny intervals today and highs up to about 25. only a

small chance, like yesterday, of a shallow, and we may not catch one at all. there are showers in the forecast for the uk, and there's also some rain. some of us seeing lengthy sunny spells. starting off at 9am with the rain, it is across scotla nd at 9am with the rain, it is across scotland and northern england, and some of this is heavy. behind it, showers coming in across western scotla nd showers coming in across western scotland and northern ireland. some of those heavy and thundery as we have a ready scene, in dumfries and galloway. that is being pushed south across the rest of england and also wales, variable amounts of cloud, one or two showers. the brightest and clearest skies across devon and took formal, the isles of scilly and the channel islands. —— devon and cornwall. through today, the rain goes from the northern half of the country but we will see some heavy showers developing, and some of them will be thundery and slow—moving. there is the risk that they could cause some disruption but rainfall totals will be mounting. for england and wales, it brightens up but the

sunshine will prevail the longest in the south—west and also into the channel islands. here in the sunshine, we will also have the highest temperatures, getting up to 25 or 26. generally speaking across the uk, we are looking into the high teens come into the low 20s. by the end of the afternoon, a new weather fund will be showing its land in northern ireland. through the evening and overnight, it will be drifting from the west to the east taking its rain with it. across england and wales. to the south of england, staying largely dry, full scotla nd england, staying largely dry, full scotland and northern ireland, we will see a few showers in quite a bit of cloud and a bit of misting is around as well. as a result, it is not going to be a particularly cold night. tomorrow, it is really messy to describe but basically, what is happening is, a weatherfront will continue to push up into the north sea, taking the rain. then it will brighten up and we will see some sunny skies, as temperatures rise, though, for scotland and northern

england in particular, we are looking at some torrential, heavy, thundery downforce. they will be slow—moving, and again, they could lead to some disruption. we are keeping a very close eye on that. thank you, carol. we will see you in a little bit. i'm going to go outside shortly. we are going to be meeting an extraordinary family. this is about the lengths that people go to for their sporting... sports fans. we are going to meet a family who have crossed two continents, 17 countries, covered nearly 14, 000 countries, covered nearly 14,000 miles by car, all because they love cricket and they wanted to be here for the world cup. i think they are just about driving into the piazza. this is the postcard version of the trip they have been on which, to be honest, as road trips go, that is pretty impressive. we will find out if there has been any arguments along the way. shall we ask them if

they have? i'll do that. so if i've disappeared, that is where i've gone. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. it's been a cloudy start to the day with rain affecting northern parts of the uk. that rain should clear to bring scattered showers and it will get brighter. particularly across england and wales where you will see the brightness into the afternoon. a few showers for scotland this afternoon, turning heavy and thundery across eastern areas. persistent rain moving into northern ireland this afternoon and it's going to be a warm afternoon, especially in england and wales where we get that

sunshine. three tonight, heavy pulses of rain moving from west to east into thursday morning. another fairly warm and muggy night with temperatures around 12—15. on thursday, quite a messy day with lots of cloud, some showers. a lot of that will clear and it will stay cloudy into the afternoon but warm. goodbye.
