us look. "one match from glory" is how we know pelvic floor exercises help the back page of the times describes the majority of people simple stress england's thrashing of australia in the cricket world cup. incontinence and if they do them iam no regularly they will get better and i am no cricket expert but there was they don't and come to physiotherapy something that felt very good as we have an up to 80% cure for stress soon as they got that wicked at the incontinence. people will notice you beginning it had a good feeling are hugging a part of the anatomy about it yesterday and it all came good. no surprise that the mirror there. i have bought a pelvic floor has this headline. with me. so the muscles are the red the mirror insists bits at the bottom and they are kind "hit‘s coming home". of unusual, because they attach onto they came in as favourites. there ligaments. just towards the camera that way. they attach onto are always question marks when you do. while the daily telegraph claims it's "blast off" for england as they face new zealand ligaments. so when they work they are going to squeeze and lift, which in the final on sunday. the word they use is that they is what pelvic floor contraction is. we wa nt is what pelvic floor contraction is. we want people to be able to imagine annihilated australia to reach the world cup final. they are clearly that they are squeezing and lifting. there are different types of making a statement there with a very incontinence, aren't there? you emphatic win. lots of photos across mentioned distressed one, what is that and does it work for all of them? —— stressed ones. all of the papers. joe root raises that and does it work for all of them? -- stressed ones. simple stress incontinence is if you watch yourself when you laugh, cough, or many of the front covers. what do sneeze. you can have urgency when you reckon the mood is like in you are going to the toilet, it is australia? phil mercer is in sydney common when people talk —— put the

for us. on the whole, i would say key in the lock. it is funny about the australians, they don't like being beaten in any sport, but the lock thing. they have had that before. as soon as you get home you cricket runs deep, this rivalry. need the loop. it is a thing. it is because usually the first thing you never before has australia lost a cricket world cup semi—final, but do when you get home is go to the now they have. watching sport, toilet. so your blood learns that and it starts to dribble in especially international sport, can anticipation. —— bladder. bea especially international sport, can be a bit of an issue in australia, and it starts to dribble in anticipation. -- bladder. like a given the time difference between mental thing rather than physical. edgbaston and here in eastern there is a huge amount of australia. the game would have been conditioning to do with going to the wrapping up at about 2am. many toilet. that is how you toilet train australian fans who did make it into children. we were hearing from mary work this morning could have been forgiven that it was all a bad a moment ago. this in itself is very dream, because the game would have finished too late for most of the stressful for people. the worry of newspapers to have splashed anything on their back page. safe to say it are not getting help or whatever, it are not getting help or whatever, it is very stressful. there are few online the commentary has been things that impact more than not pretty downbeat here in australia. 1 having body control. we know it news website saying that the affects people more than having australians had received a diabetes or asthma, for instance. people have their entire lives shellacking from england. now the dominated by their bladder. which is

postmortem begins. what could frustrating but they don't need to put up with it. you also have other australia have done better? i think props. part of what you want to see most australian fans agreeing with happen is to see more talk about these problems and for women to feel skipper aaron finch who said simply that they should do something about that his team had been outplayed. do it. tell us what you have got.” that they should do something about it. tell us what you have got. i was pleased to hear you say that there you think then, obviously as we were are myths, that leaking is not saying, everyone is saying we gave them a hammering, do you think they common. today i'm lodging a petition genuinely would feel that they had a to try to get this god ‘s government hammering? i think this statistics to try to get this god ‘s government to include a baby grow in the baby bear that out. and much of the box that we have two remain limited commentary here is saying that it was a very ugly defeat inflected on to tell —— pelvic floor exercises. we know up to 80% of pregnant women australia. and had it not been from and new mums with themselves. only the fighting not from former captain about 2% to the exercise properly. steve smith there could have been it is to nudge them into it. often even worse. now the postmortem begins, by their selection problems? people's first port of call with australia, we know, did have injury anything to do with their health is concerns coming in. i think the general sense in australia is that anything to do with their health is this was a good team with some great a gp. is there enough knowledge about this within the system about some of the practical things you can do? that is why it is so frustrating players. of course, mitchell starc asa is, statistically, the best bowler do? that is why it is so frustrating as a clinician. we know there is

gold standard evidence to show this in the competition. and he did receive an absolute shellacking in the semi—final. and there has been stuff works it is just really challenging to get over the embarrassment so people will come and seek help. if someone speaks to some snide commentary here in australia in the past few weeks theirgp and seek help. if someone speaks to their gp there are usually clear ca re pathways about the make—up of the england their gp there are usually clear care pathways in place. once we have got hold of the majority get better. team, saying that the england side can you just explain what you do in is relying on players who weren't terms of the exercise for this? even born in england. but you have to remember that australia is a can you just explain what you do in terms of the exercise for this7m country that often claims outsiders you imagine, it is a bit delicate for mornings, if you can imagine you as their own. this is of course a have got gas and it is terrible and country that claims russell crowe is you know it is going to be terrible an australian. and we all know that and you are trying not to let it russell crowe was born in new escape, that is a squeezing and zealand. so australia licking its lifting and that is you working your pelvic floor. you are doing it.” wounds today. 0h, lifting and that is you working your pelvic floor. you are doing it. i am literally doing it as you speak. we zealand. so australia licking its wounds today. oh, what a shame for them. not. thank you very much. know if you mention this stuff on more on all those big sporting broadcast on radio women come occasions forward and start doing it. they throughout the morning. time now to get the news, think they can't manage that go to travel and weather where you are. their gp. we want people to squeeze good morning from bbc london news. and left for a count of ten seconds i'm alice salfield. and left for a count of ten seconds and then do ten quickflix in a row like that. and if you do that three the metropolitan police says over a third of its new officers

a really good day in the tour de she swept aside barbora strycova france yesterday. the welsh in less than an hour on centre court, and is nowjust one win away from a record equalling 24th grand slam title. defending champion took time off all his rivals with a late attack on stage six, the first mountain leg to she is trying to equal the record of his fifth overall and a minute margaret court. behind the leader. a huge day in serena will play simona halep in the final after she beat elina svitolina liverpool. just inviting our two in straight sets to reach her first guests here to talk about the wimbledon final. she's a former world number one, netball. a huge day here with 16 and won the french open last year — teams and eight matches today but halep has won just once in ten meetings with serena williams. involving england, ireland and it was a really good day for geraint thomas at the tour de fr scotland. i have here the ceo of the defending champion took time netball england and the director of off all of his rivals with a late attack on stage six — culture at the city council. so how which was the first mountain leg. important is it for this country in he's currently fifth overall, terms of the growth of the sport to host this world cup? it is hugely almost a minute behind the leader. important. we went for this bid six yea rs important. we went for this bid six years ago and it has been a long journey important because it will look at the activity going on and hopefully give us a home advantage and we want to bring that world cup the excitement ahead of the netball world cup here in the fan park. this back to england. it is also around is lindsay chapman, the netball

reporter. and the former captain of driving participation. we want a england who threw me in the sea of legacy for this world cup and sport is growing in this country so for us the commonwealth games last year to it showcases it across the world and celebrate england's winning gold more importantly in england to grow participation. england have never won. we have reached the final against australia in australia in before. in the first world cup. so april last year. what impact will it is getting a monkey off our back that have psychologically? who do you favour the most? australia because it has been dominated so far looking for revenge or england by australia and new zealand. knowing what it takes to beat them? england knows what to take to beat com pletely by australia and new zealand. completely dominated by australia and new zealand and i think last year winning the commonwealth games them and it has opened the field more. for the first time australia gold really, the belief now that not the team to win a major those girls have, they know that tournament and i think it favours they can win and we've gone through england more. 11 times for they can win and we've gone through the same preparation going through this tournament and they are quite australia, four times for new zealand... you confident. tracy has them in a great australia, four times for new zealand. .. you think australia, four times for new zealand... you think this this is a space and we want to be there in chance for england? it's what they that final competing. claire, the have been building towards. england have been building towards. england have set a goal. we wanted to win eyes of the world than our own liverpool. it is a great sporting the world cup, the commonwealth city but what about this? what will this do? seeing athletes walking games was a win but this is the goal we wa nted games was a win but this is the goal we wanted and the girls will be around the city yesterday they are training. the confidence from last year has opened it up and i think loved by the people of the city. it isa

loved by the people of the city. it is a fantastic event and it has this is our year. let's bring you brought a great economic advantage. liverpool really embraces sporting in. the biggest netball world cup so events and events of all kinds and far. explain how it works with 16 we're delighted it is here. what teams. ten days of early and live strikes me is that there are so many netball starting with two group matches hd. it is like a couple of rounds. first few days each team matches hd. it is like a couple of matches and the new wait for the next. and many of the tickets are plays within their group and if they sold out the coming here and tojust get through they go to a second group around which decides the semi—finaland group around which decides the semi—final and the final. wa nt sold out the coming here and tojust want to renderand sold out the coming here and tojust want to render and be inspired by what you see and a chance to have a go what you see and a chance to have a go isjust group around which decides the semi-final and the final. wales did what you see and a chance to have a go is just fantastic. not qualify but northern ireland and what you see and a chance to have a go isjust fantastic. being in this place i definitely want to have a go scotla nd not qualify but northern ireland and scotland are involved and northern ireland begin today against at some point, believe me. joe, what australia. what are their chances of enhancing their reputation at this world cup? i think there is a big chance to see netball on the world about northern ireland and scotland? stage for all of the home nations. wells did not qualify but what are their chances of getting through the preliminary stages?” their chances of getting through the preliminary stages? i think they northern ireland do have a difficult have a great chance. is so sad not one because they start against the world number ones and scotland are in the same group as england so they to have wales here but we have to have a tough night as well but a change the way the draw works this brilliant chance to see these teams year which means that 12 go through and have an opportunity to compete play. if you can organise the in the next round in australia it was only eight so some smaller teams players here and explain the went out but this time they have a positions. while you do that let's

great opportunity to reach the two bring in katie because a lot of the groups of six and continue to compete. 0k. let's grab a ball organisation here is run by volu nteers organisation here is run by volunteers like yourself. how because i'm going to tell people excited are you on what was your about the matches on today. sorry, you won't really, i threw you in the role be? a fantastic opportunity to get involved and showcase the city deep end. today, the first match of liverpool. i've been involved in the fan park open here from 9am daily. a lot of activity get begins at nine o'clock and then at 11 you have northern ireland against australia. later on england and involved here. netball is for eve ryo ne involved here. netball is for everyone no matter your age or uganda. and scotland and some more. ability. and let's go find lindsay. that is tonight. this is the preliminary round this weekend and then second stages next week and in seven people per side you pass, you then second stages next week and in the semifinals and the play—off. and run it is about fast movement. we after this first round begins today have seven players on a team and we the bbcjoins the coverage on monday. i am going to have a small start with a defensive unit. goalkeeper, goal defence. they work practice before we go because these people are far too good. that looks together and they want to stop the fantastic and thank you so much. ball getting into the opposition goal. your goalkeeper is the last line of defence. then you move to big weekend of sport i think that is fairto big weekend of sport i think that is fair to say. 20 to seven now. new the midcourt and wing defence centre and wing attack. wing defence has a chance to take out the opposition o rlea ns fair to say. 20 to seven now. new orleans has disclosed a state of emergency and is bracing itself as attack and then you have your engine

experts on tropical storm barry is set to turn into a hurricane over room central and the wing attack and the weekend. then the shooters. they are usually then the shooters. they are usually the taller players. i'm just the city has already been hit by severe flooding, with threats of a further ten to 15 average. i'm a defender. inches of rain along the louisiana coast. manuel bojorquez from cbs news international shooters are between six foot four and six foot eight. i has the latest. think you would probably be a centre wing attack. agile, fast and speedy. those mandatory evacuations are happening in low—lying parishes and what you never say to annette south of new orleans that here in the city, all eyes are on the ballplayer that it isn't —— never mississippi river and here is why. flooding along the nation's tell annette ballplayer it is non— contacted technically there is midsection has sent a lot of water contact. you have to be tough. a lot downstrea m midsection has sent a lot of water downstream so the river is already swollen. that, coupled with a potential storm surge from the of strategy, yes. it begins at nine tropical system and the additional rain could spell trouble. officials o'clock tonight with northern have said they believe the levies ireland and australia. scotland and samoa, england and uganda. bbc begin that protect the city like the one we are on will hold during the event live coverage with the second round on monday and that is all for now. but they fear that the water could overtop some of them. so while there thank you very much. see you shortly. there is a lot of spot is still uncertainty in the track of the tropical system they are edging going on this morning today and into eve ryo ne the tropical system they are edging everyone here to be prepared. the weekend as well. carol is indoors right now in the hallowed surroundings of wimbledon. shows

let's pick up on some of those around, carol. where are you? inside problems now. us meteorologist meredith garofalo joins us now from denver. the clubhouse but better than me good morning to you. can you give us showing you around, let's talk to a man who knows all about it. the a sense of the scale of what is manager. ross matheson. good to meet approaching and the possible dangers? good morning. the problem you. tell us where we are. we can here is that we have a very see the trophies. we have the ladies slow—moving tropical storm and over the last couple of days it has behind you and the men's on the other side. we are in the heart of strengthened and as a result we are the clubhouse. this is where, during now starting to see it grow and in the clubhouse. this is where, during the championship, the chairman looks after 73 guest for the championships the coming days the biggest concerns but year—round this is the heart of we're going to have you heard in that report will notjust be the club where our 500 members enjoy freshwater flooding from rain that facilities with gas and this is also saltwater flooding from the where it is at. the trophies we can gulf of mexico. that will bring in some storm surge and with storm see are not actually the trophies surge getting it about six foot the winners take with them. they have replicas that are smaller. they high. think about someone 6—foot used to be half size. they are now tall, that is how high water is three quarters size. but it is expected to get is that water moves in along the coastline. that will be a concern in the coming days but i obviously an exceptional experience to win the singles championship and hold the trophy for a short period of time. they do get a three think my biggest concern is that we are looking at seeing around two quarters size replica which they

ta ke feet of water possible in some areas quarters size replica which they take away with them and the key before all is done with the storm thing is to have your name on the trophy and that is the goal of most system. people will be thinking back of the players. tell us more about to 2005 and what happened then. is new to 2005 and what happened then. is n ew o rlea ns to 2005 and what happened then. is new orleans not better protected the clubhouse itself. it is very thanit new orleans not better protected than it was previously? absolutely. plush with a beautiful scent of orchids in here. the carpets u psta i rs orchids in here. the carpets upstairs are lovely and soft. orchids in here. the carpets upstairs are lovely and softm orchids in here. the carpets upstairs are lovely and soft. it is as we move forward and learn from a beautiful space. but it is a club previous storms that will always help us better prepare for the next on. the difference between katrina and we run the most prestigious and barry right now is that this is tennis club in the world. the standards are exceptionally high. the main thing is like any other and barry right now is that this is clu b the main thing is like any other a smaller storm but i always want to club in the country, it is about our caution as a meteorologist you do members and looking after them and not want to pay attention to the making sure they have a great experience and their guests, when storm size but the hazards that are they come, we look after them as well. that is it. the nice thing is going to come with it. in this case, the biggest threat will be the heavy that most of the top players in the rain because this is a storm that is world will have come from a club so not going to move in very quickly. they will have been forged in that environment and that is why it will slowly take its time and wimbledon is special because it is a increase in speed as it starts to clu b wimbledon is special because it is a club that hosts championships and that familiar scent of club is held approach landfall as we enter saturday morning but because it does by all top players in the world. not move much, look back a few days after the fortnight of wimbledon must be quiet around here. we have a ago when you saw the heavy rain in

new ago when you saw the heavy rain in n ew o rlea ns ago when you saw the heavy rain in new orleans and we saw about ten inches of rain in one day. that is just one day. this will be one or two days of consistent heavy period of time in where we recover from the championship but then we're downpours and rain combined with the back it because all of our members water being pushed in along the are inspired by tennyson they wish coastal cities. thank you for your to play. we have 50 courts here and time this morning. that is meredith 150 match fixtures, trips, tours and joining us from denver to talk about loads of activity in the club. and thatis loads of activity in the club. and the problems specifically for new that is also balanced against a o rlea ns. tough renovation schedule because and what is happening with the weather here? our courts get renovated and carol is at wimbledon with a look prepared for the following year. so at this morning's weather. where are you now? those two things come together straight after the championships. it we arejust outside is an active time for us. it has been a delight speaking to you and i know you have tons to do so we will where are you now? we are just outside centre court next to the fred perry statue. the let you go. thank you for your time. weather is ashley quite mild this morning. you can see fred perry, here won wimbledon three times, the the forecast for wimbledon today is a mostly dry one. there is the last of which in 1936. here was the outside chance of a shower so we're son of a cotton spinner who went on likely to see sunny spells and highs to become world table tennis of 25 degrees with gentle breezes. champion at 19 and switched to lawn the forecast for the uk as a whole is one of sunshine and scattered tennis and one wimbledon three showers. we do have some showers times. has been here since 1984. his

drifting into was the midlands and cloud. sunny intervals as well. eastern and southern england. a highs up to 25 across parts of the cloudy start. the showers we south—east. as we progressively move northwards the temperatures will be that bit lower. heading on through currently have will move away and then we will see sunny skies and start to develop. through the course the evening we hang onto quite a few of the day, in the morning, first of showers. overnight they started to all, we lose a lot of the showers. fade. with a subtle change in the there is a bit of a respite. the showers start going again through wind direction, more of a northerly the afternoon as temperatures rise. component, it means it will be cloudier, cloud streaming in from the north sea. as a result, not a most prolific across northern and particularly cold start to the day north—eastern scotland and eastern counties as well. as a mention, not tomorrow. it will be a cloudy one, all of us will catch one. some of us but rather like today the cloud will thin and break. most of us will see will see some sunshine. ——is a some sunny intervals but we will see mention. any cloudy northern showers form, especially across ireland. temperatures ranging from north—east scotland and down the 13 in the far north to 20—5 in the spine of the country tomorrow. there far south. feeling fresher today is an outside chance once again but because we have had a change of wind for the ladies finals we could well see the odd shower. but for the direction. through the evening the men's finals on sunday it looks like showers continue for a time, but the second half of the night what you it will stay dry. sunday for most of will find is a lot of them will us the it will stay dry. sunday for most of us the drier it will stay dry. sunday for most of us the drier day it will stay dry. sunday for most of us the drier day as it will stay dry. sunday for most of us the drier day as high it will stay dry. sunday for most of us the drier day as high pressure fade. we will be left with quite ta kes us the drier day as high pressure takes charge of the weather. charlie and steph. thank you very much. it cloudier skies which are coming in from the north sea. not a particularly cold start to the day.

tomorrow, temperature range nine — is 7:47. you might have heard headlines in the last few days about falls 13. tomorrow, a cloudy start. the in the value of the pound, cloud will thin and break. most of what does that mean if you're heading on holiday us cloud will thin and break. most of us think sunny intervals tomorrow. in the next few weeks? victoria's looking into this one for us. again some showers. the heaviest of hello. good morning to you. the which will be in north—east scotland and down the spine of england. could pound has ta ken hello. good morning to you. the pound has taken a rough ride of the see one at wimbledon tomorrow, past weeks. it is less than ideal depending on your point of view you timing given that some schools are would be unlucky to do so. on breaking up and some of us might be sunday, lots of sporting events, as heading abroad on summer holidays. over the past few months the pound has steadily been falling against we know, taking place on sunday, it the dollar. on tuesday it actually should be mostly dry as high pressure exerted influence over the dipped below 1.25 to the pound. the uk. charlie and steph. thank you. we will chat to you later. it looks lowest level since april 2017. a similar picture when you look at the lovely there. it is a 6:47. people euro as well. it is now at about a six month low. why? it is not all will be thinking about the summer holidays coming up. down to politics, the ongoing you might have heard headlines uncertainty around who will be the in the last few days about falls in the value of the pound. next prime minister and what will what does that mean if you're heading on holiday happen with brexit is not exactly in the next few weeks? victoria's with us now. what's going on victoria? helping. it is always a balance hello. good montjeu both. it is not ideal timing. people are thinking between the relative strength of the different economies. last week a

about their summer holiday, some survey suggested that the uk's manufacturing sector contracted at jetting off abroad, and the breaking up the fastest pace in more than six jetting off abroad, and the breaking up as well. i want to talk through what has been going on. let us start yea rs. we have the fastest pace in more than six years. we have also had some pretty with what has been going on with the disappointing figures from the retail industry. all of that means if you are travelling to most major european destinations or the united pound versus the dollar. what we states it is not great news. you found out in recent weeks is that will also be getting less for your the pound, the value of the pound money than you did this time last has been falling versus the dollar. you can see the graft stop it dipped year. that is also true of places below 1.26. we have not seen levels like thailand and japan. it is not like that since april 2017. not good all bad news. uk travellers will get news if you are travelling closer to 18% more if you are planning to go to turkey this summer. they will also get a better deal if you go to shore as well. against the euro we are seeing six—month lows there. all iceland or australia. shall we speak to the consumer expert? of this is down to a bunch of different factors. not quite as simple as saying it is all the politics, the uncertainty because of who the next prime minister might be and what on earth they will do over brexit and when that may be, et cetera stop is also about the martyn james is a consumer expert at expert resolver. relative strength of economies. recently we have had data from the there is a huge variation. the manufacturing sector in the uk. the golden rule is not to leave it to data was coming in as a contraction. the last minute. if you shop around the biggest contraction we have seen online you will find some pretty

in six years. also the retail good stuff. it could be worse. if sector, that is not looking so you wait to go to the airport you great. this is putting a picture of will sometimes get less than the the uk that is not looking great poundin will sometimes get less than the pound in your pocket, which is beyond depressing. it is worth compared to some other countries. bearing in mind that the bank will that means if you are travelling to these places, major european not necessarily have the best rate and you will probably have to wait a destinations, the us, places like few days as well. not great for thailand,japan, destinations, the us, places like thailand, japan, you destinations, the us, places like thailand,japan, you are destinations, the us, places like last—minute purchases. few days as well. not great for last-minute purchases. what about where you want to go, if you are one thailand, japan, you are actually seeing less bang for your buck if of those last—minute people like i you are going abroad. you will get am, do you have any advice for where less money if you are travelling this year than if you are travelling might be better value for money at last year. but it's not necessarily the moment. that is a good question. all bad news. because against some if you are spontaneous and throw yourself out there to see how much money you can squeeze out then there currencies it has improved. if you are going to turkey, for example, are places where it is a bargain. you get 18% more for your money than u nfortu nately a lot are places where it is a bargain. unfortunately a lot of currency exchange is tied to the political if you were travelling last year. situation, i will not mention the b there are some other places as well, iceland and australia. it depends on word. that will have an impact. you where you are going. is there any advice for people who are thinking could still get good deals as you about changing their money was mentioned, turkey, places like yellow the basic advice is whatever iceland, if you fancy doing some you do try not to leave it too late hiking, there are places out there you can make your pound/ a bit more. and get your money at the airport. over the past year or so we have had the rates you get at the airport are

not great compared to anywhere else. a rise in prepayment cards, be prepared and try to get it early. the other thing is when you are specialist cards abroad, what you abroad and you have your card in the make of those? ? your pal stretch a machine, you have your plastic out, bit more. i like prepaid cards. it and you are choosing which one to go for, because it gives you the option makes sense to actually have a of pounds... or euros or whatever, source of money so you are not carrying around all that cash. also a lwa ys if you not handing over 50 europa of pounds... or euros or whatever, always choose the local currency because you will get a better rate notes in bars where they hate you so of return on that. always choose the local currency. we will have an using big currency, those cards are wonderful. they allow you to expert on the programme, a proper withdraw from most atms in european countries ——50 europa notes. it is expert, not just expert on the programme, a proper expert, notjust me, in about an hour to run through some more advice. but please do send in some definitely worth doing. we asked for questions and get in touch with me on twitter. i will go through questions from our viewers. one from julie. i was think about this. is it twitter looking for your questions and we will put them to our guests. better to get euros from the cash machine abroad or should you use was that one of those moments where your debit card instead? neither is you are wondering what programme you we re you are wondering what programme you were on? i am on the bbc, what programme ami the answer. if you can absolutely were on? i am on the bbc, what programme am i on? yes, exactly that help you try to avoid it. you will probably pay an extra charge for moment. using the atm because there will be they only do the one programme and a machinejudge in most european they still have that problem. you countries. either way, when your money is converted back into pounds, need a stronger coffee. we will see

the plan is to put together a coalition of nations providing military escorts to commercial shipping in the gulf. the us navy's fifth fleet said it was working closely with the royal navy as well as regional and global partners to preserve and defend the freedom of navigation. on wednesday, three iranian boats tried to block a british—flagged tanker passing through the strait of hormuz. donald trump's nomination to become chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the most senior officer in the us armed forces, said he wanted to move quickly with a joint effort. freedom of navigation is a fundamental norm for the international order, it has been in place for seven decades and we have a crucial role to enforce that norm. what we're trying to do with the coalition to put that together in terms of providing military naval escort to commercial shipping may be an important factor and i think that will develop over the next few weeks. the tension with iran has risen because of crippling economic sanctions which donald trump imposed

on the country after the united states pulled out of a deal to prevent iran from building a nuclear weapon. like the united states, britain and france both maintain a constant naval presence in the gulf. neither country has confirmed it is discussing plans to form a coalition with the us to escort tankers. theresa may has said that whoever succeeds her as prime minister must be more interested in public service than power. she made the comments in a newspaper interview as the final two contenders, borisjohnson and jeremy hunt, prepare to set out their stalls on a special bbc programme tonight. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. chris, what are people reading into mrs may's comments? she doesn't name anybody in her piece in the daily mail, but it is obvious who she is talking about. yeah, you don't need to be pyro or a cluedo king to work out who she

might be having in mind when she was reflecting in his valedictory interview she has done in the daily mail today, sitting in the downing street garden with one of their journalists. i will show you one of the key quotes from this interview. she says too many people in politics think being prime minister is a position of power. actually, it's a position of power. actually, it's a position of power. actually, it's a position of service to the country. who might she be thinking of as she utters those lines? she is also pretty cheesed off about all of these leadership candidates over the last few weeks talking about getting a better deal with the european union. she points out rather acidly that there isn't another deal, that the deal isn't being reopened and that she did her best to get her deal through parliament. she was willing to give up herjob, she was willing to give up herjob, she was willing to give up herjob, she was willing to share a conversation with jeremy corbyn, but none of that worked. and as you say, the context of all of this is obvious with the

leadership race rumbling on. quite a moment today, andrew neil interviewing borisjohnson moment today, andrew neil interviewing boris johnson and jeremy hunt. andrew neil is ferocious and fiery, and he is flipping frightening for politicians. i have known politicians. i have known politicians be willing to walk barefoot to avoid an encounter with andrew neil. these two are going in front of him for half an hour each. that programme is on bbc one at seven o'clock tonight. it will be interesting to see how that goes. thanks. artificial intelligence is being used to cut down the amount of time police officers spend looking at disturbing images in cases of online child abuse. it's being introduced in forces across the uk to assess and grade the material. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, reports. a unique glimpse inside scotland ya rd's digital investigation department. this is where computers, smartphones and memory sticks are brought for analysis to provide

evidence in the most complex crimes. these components are being repaired in the electronics lab. they are from a phone seized during a murder enquiry. scientists can restore phones thrown into water, set on fire or stamped on. but it's painstaking work and there are lengthy delays. the problem for police is that there are so many devices, it's taking too long to gather all the evidence, around four months on average. so new techniques are being introduced to speed up the process. there you go. a match in seconds. the new technology, shown to the home secretary, will help police scan for images of child abuse. it'll take 30 minutes to examine a hard drive, compared to 24 hours now. it should also make it easier to identify victims. you could describe it as a game

changer in that it means that more of the victims will be protected. but also, just as importantly, more of these vile paedophiles will be caught and taken through the courts and this will be presented as evidence and i hope more will be locked up behind bars where they belong. another benefit is that investigators will not have to spend so long looking at images of abuse because artificial intelligence would do it for them. controversially, ai is also being used to help police spot suspects in public places. the technology is called facial recognition and the home secretary said police had his backing to try it out. a 25—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a heavily pregnant woman at her home near croydon last month. kelly—marie fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she was stabbed to death in her bedroom. her son was delivered by paramedics, but died a few days later.

heatwaves in the indian ocean have killed more than two—thirds of corals in the chagos islands injust two years. researchers from the zoological society of london also found that some corals were more resilient to rising temperatures, which could provide hope for reefs as the planet warms up. hard corals provide homes to around a quarter of all marine species. the singer r kelly has been arrested in chicago on federal sex crimes charges. the united states attorney's office said the 13 count indictment included charges of child pornography and obstruction of justice. r kelly is already awaiting trial in chicago on a raft of state sexual assault and abuse charges. some of the alleged victims were underage at the time. he has pleaded not guilty on all counts. the mayor of new orleans has warned that a tropical storm moving towards the coast of louisiana could bring 48 hours of continuous rain. the region has already suffered flash flooding and storm barry could become a hurricane when it makes landfall.

residents have been warned to seek shelter or leave new orleans. the low—lying city was devastated by hurricane katrina in 2005. those are the main stories this morning. we have the spot coming up later and carol will have the weather. —— we have the sport coming up weather. —— we have the sport coming up later. the break—out of "mad cow disease" in the ‘90s led to the deaths of around 200 people, but 20 years later scientists are warning that many of us could still be carrying the disease. bse can lay dormant for decades and scientists are no closer to discovering a cure. a new documentary, the great british beef scandal, explores the subject — let's take a look. 32 years ago, scientists reported a new disease on a farm in wiltshire. the disease that we'd found was bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or bse, mad cow disease. it was clearly different from most

viruses that we were familiar with. this is no ordinary infection. some scientists believe that it breaks some of the laws of nature as we know them, and thus may be a novel form of life. the cattle were clearly neurologically disturbed. they became erratic in behaviour, a lot of trembling, not being able to walk steadily. gradually, the nervous system degenerates. the brain becomes a bit like a sponge in appearance. and death inevitably ensues. joining us now is annie mcvey, whose15—year—old daughter claire died from bse in 2000 and who was in the programme. tell us about claire. your lemeki you had to see her to believe her.

—— you had to see her to believe her. she was funny, independent, brave, strong, irritating, all those things that you think, this is what will take her through life and she would do well. we are just seeing some video footage of her. she looks like she is full of personality. lots of personality, lots of energy, lots of noise. one of the teachers at herfuneral said, lots of noise. one of the teachers at her funeral said, when we used to hear noise, we would think there is a the middle of that. so much of this now is about the science. tell us how this has affected your family. what were the signs that claire was ill and how did that unfold? initially, she was 15. 15—year—old girls are notoriously difficult. she didn't want us to see her eating. she was exercising a bit more, wanting to strengthen her legs. you wonder if you have problems with anorexia coming. a bit

moody. but it was a bit more than that. the big one which i always about it her shoes, which she had nagged me forfour weeks. i kept saying she couldn't, but in the end i gave in. in a couple of weeks, she was saying, i don't want to wear my shoes to school, i want to wear trainers. i can't balance. and you think, that is not normal. normally, once you have got those shoes, you're going to wear them if your legs are bleeding. you really want to wear the shoes. so we went to the doctor and she had suggested antidepressants. it didn't make much difference. so i then called in a favour and went to see a paediatrician during my lunch break and started during neurological tests. and they could see the deficit. the afternoon, we went to bristol on august the 3rd. two weeks later, we knew that it wasn't anything and the only possible thing was variant cjd. it feel when you

we re was variant cjd. it feel when you were told that? i actually read it in the toilet. i had taken claire for a in the toilet. i had taken claire fora lumbar in the toilet. i had taken claire for a lumbar puncture and i had her notes and on the way back, i stopped off in the loo and read her notes, and there it was in the middle of the page. it was cutting. it was unbelievable. what we know now, of course, so contradicts what you and eve ryo ne course, so contradicts what you and everyone else was officially being told, that there was no risk from beef at that time. that was literally the message. and very strongly put, continually. and you now know that the food that many people were feeling to their children, and adults as well, was infected. yeah. that was the moment when the whole world changed for us. you suddenly think, this government that governs at our pleasure because it is something we can't do, we expect it to take the big decisions because as individuals, we can't.

and they had taken the wrong decision notjust once, which would bea decision notjust once, which would be a mistake, but repeatedly, with full knowledge of what they were doing. that was the moment when you no longer trust. obviously, scientists are now talking about the fa ct scientists are now talking about the fact that it could be lying dormant in people. do you think there about this? no, this isn't new news for us because there are countries around the world that refuse to take blood from anyone who has lived in britain for over six months between 1980 and 1986. america, ireland will not let you. there are reasons for them not wanting british blood. i have issue with the fact that you have to live in britain for six months, because you only need the tiniest gram of protein in meat to be infected. but these countries don't do that without some scientific evidence.

that has been there for a long time, this risk. and i think it is time, particularly when we are looking at potentially deregulating food standards for different markets and trade deals that we might need after brexit, we need to have that at the front of our mind. deregulation causes problems. i'm going to read out the official defra statement on where we are now in relation to b. —— in relation to beef. in a statement, defra says "british beef is absolutely safe and produced to the highest standards. since bse became a notifiable disease in 1988, the government has put strict controls in place to protect the food and feed chain, and to reassure consumers and our international trading partners." do you have confidence in that? do you have confidence in that7m is hard to trust, but i agree that standards are better now. the european union and ourselves brought in some very high food standards and

checks on british beef, which was right and proper. unfortunately, bse is still occasionally found in cattle. but it is being found, and thatis cattle. but it is being found, and that is good. however, i would point you to the fact that we had horse meat in some of our food a while ago that got into the food chain. accidents happen. peoples standards slip. they think about short cuts. so i'm not going to say i am totally confident. you have started to help others affected by this. what do you wa nt to others affected by this. what do you want to see happen?” others affected by this. what do you want to see happen? i want us to remember history, to remember that when you deregulate something, as mrs thatcher did, he decided that school meals no longer needed to be nutritious, once you start that read to deregulation, there are consequences. so think carefully. when we are looking at potentially lowering our standards, think what that could mean for people. also, we

do have people who have started to develop a test, which would be brilliant. but there doesn't seem to be the impetus from the government to continue that. they keep saying there is a test which is not validated, but nobody is doing validation. you remind people sometimes who are in authority and involved in those decisions, you literally send reminders to them and e—mails, even now. like what? literally send reminders to them and e-mails, even now. like what? they are very e-mails, even now. like what? they are very gentle reminders that you made a decision one day and for some of them who stuck to it two or three times and included family members in the refusal to believe that it was infected, you make important decisions. when you sit in the house of lords and house of commons, you are making decisions that have long,

far—reaching consequences, so think carefully. don't always believe what you are told, question it. we had scientists saying one thing that we re scientists saying one thing that were being totally ignored and sidelined, and they turned out to be the ones who were correct. thank you for coming to see us. mad cow disease: the great british beef scandal is available on the bbc iplayer. carol is at wimbledon with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we have come inside today into the trophy room and we are going to speak to dan. you are the head coach here. one of your jobsis the head coach here. one of your jobs is to lead the players onto centre and court and court number one. can you talk us through that process ? one. can you talk us through that process? it obviously doesn't start in the trophy room. it's a fantastic job and it starts early in the

morning. so although the match might be at one o'clock, with some players, i will plan that seemed about leaving at three minutes to nine o'clock in the morning. you gently encourage players to get ready on time. it's an interesting job. you gather them together at the door outside the members' dressing room. we look like we are ready to go, and then someone will say, can i get something? and you want to say no, but it's not the best thing to say! and it is a work of history. i think the players feel the energy as you come down and walk past the crowds on the side. they all start waving. but the players that they will not be looking at the crowds. so you come down the stairs and then out through here into centre court. can you feel their anticipation? well, this piece of carpet which just looks like a piece of carpet,

but later today if i am with roger and rafa, it would be a tense area. we will have a 32nd weighting period we re we will have a 32nd weighting period were they might do some warm ups. what can you say? you can't say, it's a lovely day. you can feel the tension brewing. as you come through the doors, the crowds pick up on the first look at the players and the sound goes around like a wave. i initially thought it was for me, but then realised it wasn't. it was for whoever was behind me. and the noise is something special. as it gets nearer to the final, today we will have a different atmosphere to the days before. it just have a different atmosphere to the days before. itjust builds up, the momentum of the event. and i bring the players want to hear. i am pretty sure they can't go back in the dressing room from here. and then we give them a clap and watch them go on. the proudest thing we do at the club is that the players leave the court together, which i think is a fantastic tradition. the runner—up will wait for the winner.

that is my proudest thing, to see that the players, even in defeat, can act in a sporting manner. and you also bring the trophies. the trophies are another dimension. we don't see much point because we are waiting with the trophies next door. there is table that arrives every year for finals day. it has the unionjack on year for finals day. it has the union jack on it and a year for finals day. it has the unionjack on it and a gentleman in front of me puts the trophy on the table. then you have to walk 25 steps. the first time i watch 25 steps. the first time i watch 25 steps holding that trophy was tricky. it has been a pleasure. i wish we had more time to talk to you. you can see centre court behind me. the sky is blue and the forecast for wimbledon is dry, withjust an outside chance of a shower. temperatures are getting up to 25 degrees, with just gentle temperatures are getting up to 25 degrees, withjust gentle breezes. for the uk as a whole, we are looking at a mixture of sunny spells

and scattered showers after a cloudy start. by nine o'clock this morning across scotland, we do still have some of those showers. but in southern scotland, it is starting to brighten up. northern ireland will have a cloudy day, the cloud of thick enough for the odd spot now and again. across north—west england, wales and south—west england, wales and south—west england, you will get into more cloud at times, with the odd spot of drizzle or a shower. central and southern england, the cloud is starting to break up, with sunny skies developing. the showers are starting to move away. through the day, a lot of showers will fade. for many of us, it will be dry with sunny skies. more cloud in the west, but as temperatures rise, that will pa rt but as temperatures rise, that will part of showers. some of them could be heavy. you might even hear thunder in scotland or the eastern

counties of england. it will progressively get fresher as we push further north. this evening, we still have showers in the north and east, but they will gradually fade and by the second half of the night, it will be fairly cloudy. with a su btle it will be fairly cloudy. with a subtle change, we will start to pull in more cloud as well. it will not bea in more cloud as well. it will not be a cold night. tomorrow will be more dry than today. we will see some sunny spells develop. but we still have those showers looking around, particularly north—east scotla nd around, particularly north—east scotland and down the spine of the country. but not all of us will catch one. temperatures willjust be down a touch on today, but feeling fresher because of the wind direction. for the ladies' finals on saturday, the outside chance of a shower, but it should be dry for the men's and all the other sporting fixtures on sunday.

thanks, carol. there could be a big change at the top of one of the most well—known british holiday companies. victoria's got more on this one for us. victoria? thomas cook. there are rescue talks atan thomas cook. there are rescue talks at an advanced stage with a chinese conglomerate. this would be fantastic news for this company, because it has been struggling for a long time. it has massive debts. its losses are even bigger, £1.5 billion of losses. we know it is shutting shops and letting go of staff. it is of course good news for the 20,000 people who work for this company, and great news for the 11 million of us who are going to be using thomas cook, whether it is the tour operator side of the business, or the airline, and travelling with them over the summer. it is mixed news for shareholders, which explains why shares are down 44% since i first started talking to you

about this story this morning. in an hour and about this story this morning. in an hourand a about this story this morning. in an hour and a half, that is what has happened. this is because shareholders are fleeing for the exit. if the chinese company are going to give money to cancel the debts in exchange for shares, that dilutes the value of everyone else's shares, so all the shareholders are disappearing as fast as they can. here was the boss of thomas cook speaking to us this morning. this is the right solution to make the business secure for the future for our stakeholders, employees, for our suppliers and customers. our customers' holidays are secure. they can book with us without worries. we have enough resources to operate our business. so they can enjoy their holidays with us. that was peter fankhauser, speaking to bbc news this morning, saying that people who have holidays booked are now secure. they don't need to worry. so what is the solution? it is £750 million

worth of cash investment into the business. what they will get for thatis business. what they will get for that is that they will become the major owner of the tour operator side of the business and a minority owner of the airline. if you don't know them, they are called fosun, a conglomerate which owns club med. they are also a big shareholder already with thomas cook. they had a joint venture with them in china. they also own wolverhampton wanderers. the question is whether we will see a new sponsor on the front of those shirts. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. we have had quite a

few heavy showers over the last few days, but things will gradually quieten down into the weekend. for many of us it will be dry with sunny spells, still some showers in the forecast, mainly across eastern areas where you can see the weather system is pushing down the north sea coast. meanwhile, higher pressure is building from the west, which is why it will be dry for many of us with sunshine. showers across eastern scotland, some developing across eastern england this afternoon. a few could be on the sharp side, foremost there will be sunny spells, a bit more cloud in northern ireland, the north and west of scotland. maximum temperature is 17 to 25 celsius, perhaps feeling fresher on the north sea coast compared to the last three days. some showers across eastern areas overnight, but through the night and into the morning, clear spells and temperatures getting down to about 12 to 14 celsius. into the weekend,

higher pressure moves in from the west. that will make things very settled for many of us over the weekend. find conditions for most events. there will be showers on saturday, mainly over the higher ground of the pennines. they could drift further east or west, but for most of us there will be sunny spells throughout saturday, sunshine for northern ireland and scotland. maximum temperatures on saturday about 18 to 23 degrees, a degree also lower than today. similar conditions on sunday, dry foremost with some breeze from the north sea. some cloud affecting eastern areas into the central parts of england. temperatures around 17 to 19 on the north seacoast, the highest temperatures further west, 25 celsius in cardiff. goodbye.
