good morning welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. our headlines today: passengers are left stranded as british airways suspends flights to and from cairo over security concerns. please confirm that you're not intending violate international law by intending to board. dramatic audio reveals how a british warship warned iranian forces not to seize a uk—registered oil tanker. it was one of the greatest rounds of golf at a major. ireland's shane lowry is the man to catch —

he leads the open by four shots, on the final day at royal portrush. england's dreams of netball world cup gold are over after defeat to new zealand. that's one small step for mild, one giant leap for mankind. that's one small step for mild, one giant leap for mankind. 50 years on, the world remembers as events are held to mark the anniversary of the apollo 11 moon landing. good morning. it's a fine, warm sunday for many of us, but for many of us expected to turn wetter during the day. i have the forecast for that, and the heat, that's what it's all about for the week ahead. join me later on. it's sunday, zistjuly. our top story: british airways has cancelled all flights to and from the egyptian capital, cairo, for seven days. the airline has described the move as a "safety precaution".

the german carrier lufthansa also announced it was suspending flights, but later confirmed its scheduled services will resume today. our correspondent andy moore is at heathrow for us with the latest. there is not much detail about why british airways has done this, is there? no, it's a bit of a mystery, frankly. there are reports that british officials were at cairo airport earlier in the week. maybe they didn't like what they saw about they didn't like what they saw about the security arrangements, maybe there has been chatter overheard by there has been chatter overheard by the security services about the specific threats. the fact is, we just don't know what has prompted this security alert. the last—minute cancellation of the flight to cairo caused anger and confusion. one passenger, due to fly to her sister's wedding with her husband and two children, says she now faces a huge bill to rebook. i don't know what to do, i can't even tell my sister the flight is cancelled,

my kids are feeling disappointed, very, very disappointed. i had to tell them the truth that we are not going. it may be very inconvenient for some travellers, but this plane crash is the spectre that looms behind the cancellations. in 2015, a russianjet plunged into the sinai desert, killing all 222 passengers on board. britain was one of the first countries to warn it was most likely a terrorist attack. other nations followed the uk in stopping flights out of sharm el—sheikh. it is now thought it was blown up by a bomb smuggled on board at the airport. so far, cancellations only affect flights to cairo, other destinations in egypt are not affected. the foreign office has updated its travel advice, saying there is a heightened risk

of terrorism against aviation. extra security measures are in place for british planes leaving egypt. with me is simon calder, the independent travel editor. what is the latest? flights between cairo and heathrow are going on as normal. the egypt air flight hasjust closed, leaving in a few moments. the airline has laid on extra large aircraft for the plate this evening because there are a lot of people needing to get from heathrow to cairo. there are still plenty of bookings available on that. there are people heading off on holiday from birmingham and manchester today flying with thomas cook. those holidays are going ahead perfectly normally. it seems to be

specifically british airways and specifically british airways and specifically cairo to heathrow that is the concern. simon, thank you very much. british airways say they will try to put people on alternative flights if they can, but if that doesn't work out, they will offer them a refund. if we get any updates we will bring it to you. if we get any updates we will bring it to you. with just a few days to go until we find out who will become the next prime minister, the justice secretary, david gauke, has told the sunday times he will resign if borisjohnson wins. mr gauke, who has served in the cabinet since 2016, says a no—deal brexit would lead to national "humiliation". let's speak now to our political correspondent nick eardley, who's in our london newsroom. how much of a problem with this beef for borisjohnson how much of a problem with this beef for boris johnson if how much of a problem with this beef for borisjohnson if it worked out? david goc is someone who really doesn't like borisjohnson's brexit policy, which is to get out of the eu by the end of october no matter

what. he is completely against the idea of leaving without a deal and probably wasn't going to be in his cabinet anyway. looking at the papers this morning, you could be forgiven for thinking that this leadership contest was over already. everybody is assuming that boris johnson will wind. a discussion of everything from who's going to be in his cabinet to what furniture he might have in downing street if he ta kes might have in downing street if he takes over. also some real reminders from mrjohnson of the difficulties he is going to face. people like david gauke, people who could make life very difficult for him, but also a warning about his attempts to renegotiate a deal with brussels. the irish foreign minister saying this morning we want to get on with the new prime minister, we don't

wa nt to the new prime minister, we don't want to ever use the backstop, the most controversial part of theresa may's brexit deal. he says the fundamentals will not change. the withdrawal agreement is there and it will stay as it is. if borisjohnson does take over as pro—minister on wednesday, he will have a lot of work to do. thank you. there is even some talk in the papers about conservatives moving to join the lib dems. conservatives moving tojoin the lib dems. a recording has emerged of dramatic radio exchanges between a royal navy warship and iran's revolutionary guard, moments before a british—based oil tanker was seized in the gulf. the stena impero was boarded on friday in the strait of hormuz. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has urged iran to release the vessel. in the past hour, iranian tv has reported that the crew are "safe and in good health". ramzan karmali reports.

the seizing of a british flag tanker the stena impero by the iranian revolutionary guard. tehran says it was breaking maritime rules. the owners of the tanker insist it was obeying international law. the british government has condemned iran's actions. we are calling on iran to reverse this illegal act, we are looking for ways to de—escalate the situation but we will do what it takes to ensure the security and safety of british and international shipping. the tanker was intercepted as it made its way through the strait of hormuz in omani waters. it made a sharp turn towards iran. if you obey you will be safe. alter your course. that was the message from iran to the stena impero, and dramatic footage has emerged that appeared to show the hms montrose trying to stop the siege of the tanker, but it was too far

away to intervene. please confirm that you are not intending to violate international law by unlawfully attempting to board. please confirm that you are not intending to violate international law by unlawfully attempting to board. the foreign secretary will update mps on monday what further measures the government will take, the threat level has been raised to the highest level of alert. our middle east correspondent tom bateman is in fujairah in the united arab emirates for us now. tom, we get an insight from those recordings into just how tense that situation is becoming. yeah, you can

really hear the drama in those tapes. the british royal navy frigate was resting towards the ship but unable to reach it, trying to warn of the iranian boats. that warning went unheeded as the iranian revolutionary guard in ski masks wench themselves down from a helicopter onto the deck of the tanker. as for its 23 crew, they expected it to be a routine voyage west of here, no spending what is likely to be a second full day of uncertainty off the coast of iran. there has been no direct contact with the owners of the ship to the group. they were telling me yesterday that through their insurance company they have been told that the crew are in good health. tom, for now, thank you. tom, for now, thank you. overnight, events have been taking place in the united states to celebrate 50 years since man stepped on the moon

for the very first time. at washington's air and space museum, a special ceremony marked the exact moment that neil armstrong stepped out of the lunar module. nada tawfik was there and sent us this report. counting down the final seconds to man's first steps on the moon, 50 years later. americans gathered at the national air and space museum in washington, dc to relive the historic moment. the journey was dramatic. after two computer alarms, and with just 30 seconds worth of fuel, astronaut neil armstrong manually piloted the eagle down to the sea of tranquility on the lunar surface. more than a billion people around the world watched as armstrong stepped off the ladder and spoke those famous words that travelled hundreds of thousands of miles back to earth. it's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

edwin ‘buzz‘ aldrin followed him, and together they planted the american flag, but this was an achievement for all of mankind. this anniversary has been marked with events around the world, reminding people of a time when anything seemed possible. the apollo 11 astronauts propelled the world into a new era of space exploration. 50 years later they are inspiring the next generation to discover new frontiers. it really has captured people's imaginations, remembering back to 50 yea rs imaginations, remembering back to 50 years ago today. beryl has said, i remember the moon landing vividly. i was feeding my first and telling him he was witnessing something very special. i'm jealous as i was on holiday in spain. we alljoined a group of people watching television through the window of an electrical

shop and we join them. fiona says she was eight years old. my grandad had a fish and chip shop in plymouth, woke me and my sister in the early hours, we sat on a little fridge in the fish and chip shop and watched it all on a little black and white tv. really interesting to see your comments, if you were there to watch it on the television. british airways passengers remain stranded this morning following the airline's decision to ground all flights to the egyptian capital over security concerns. with more than 400,000 british nationals thought to visit the country each year, how have officials there responded to the move? we can speak to the bbc‘s sally nabil, whojoins us from our cairo newsroom. sally, good morning. british airways not giving too much away as far as why they are concerned, if they have

seen any specific intelligence to give them reason to be concerned. how are the authorities they are responding, given that they are so reliant on tourism ? responding, given that they are so reliant on tourism? absolutely. the british airways decision caused a lot of confusion here. it took a few hours before the head of the civil aviation authority issued a statement and he didn't give much information, to be honest. he said we still don't know why this decision was made, what kind of security concerns the british airline has. he confirmed that egyptian authorities are safe and secure and they meet international standards of safety. he said we are still trying to contact british airways to find out more. the fact that this is a critical time for egypt, it is summer vacation, a lot of egyptian expats are coming back to spend time with their families,

the message behind this decision is negative. lift dancer followed suit, suspending flights to cairo for a day. they are expected to resume later today. it is more about the message, notjust this suspension of flights. each chip air has lodged an extra flight every day to try and make upfor extra flight every day to try and make up for the disruption caused by the british decision. sally, thank you very much. not much detail coming from british airways or with the authorities as to why they have made this move. the authorities as to why they have made this move. joining us now is fawaz gerges, professor of international politics at the london school of economics. on the british airways situation, how concerned should people be who are travelling to egypt at the moment? we don't have information about the british airways. my take

on it is that the decision was very sudden. it was abrupt and my reading is that obviously it was based on intelligence reports about heightened security threats to aviation in cairo. this decision was very costly for british airways and it was followed suit by a german carrier, lift answer. it was followed suit by a german carrier, liftanswer. connecting it was followed suit by a german carrier, lift answer. connecting the dots, tells me that on saturday there was intelligence reports either by their british security forces or the western security forces, listening to chatter by some militants in cairo. they obviously feel confident that within a week somehow they will be able to resolve this. remember what happened in 2015. the dining of the russian airliner was catastrophic for egypt, in terms of tourism. tourism is one

of the most important sectors for egypt. the british airways decision today was shocking to egyptian officials, but the reality is i doubt it very much whether british airways would have made such a costly decision without basically having some information by the intelligence services about a security threat to aviation in cairo. while you are with us, would like to ask you about the situation in the middle east and the seizure of this british registered tanker. iran initially gives several different possible reasons for this, but it looks like it is in direct retaliation to the seizure by the british navy of really vassal they suspected was on its way to syria carrying oil against sanctions. can you explain how potentially fragile this situation is? there's seizure

of the british flagged vessel by the iranians should how dangerous the situation is. many of us have been warning about a miscalculation on the part of either iran or the united states to really bring about a huge conflict in the region. the reality is, what happens on friday evening was in direct retaliation for the seizure of the really and supertanker grace won by british forces. the top are leader made it very clear that the seizure of the uranium ship would not go unpunished. in fact, what we have seen unpunished. in fact, what we have seenin unpunished. in fact, what we have seen in the past day, despite the differing explanations by the iranians, it was a well—planned operation by iran. it involved special operation forces and at the end of the day, what you have now

behind closed doors, hard bargaining is taking place. what the rally ends wa nt is taking place. what the rally ends want is grace won the back. it has 2.1 million barrels of oil on it. the british want their vessel back. the british want their vessel back. the reality is, we find ourselves in britain ina the reality is, we find ourselves in britain in a terrible bind because the british say, look, we seize the iranian ship legally. it was going to syria against sanctions by the european union while the seizure of the british trip was in direct violation of international maritime law. it is a difficult decision. the background to all of this is the crippling economic sanctions against them. that is dictating international responses in many ways to these crisis moments. you are absolutely correct. this is notjust

oui’ absolutely correct. this is notjust our bilateral crisis between britain and iran. it is part of a broader conflict. when protestant donald trump decided unilaterally to walk away from the deal, what iran is trying to do in a nutshell is to increase the costs of donald trump is not maximum pressure policy. they are is not maximum pressure policy. they a re really is not maximum pressure policy. they are really economy is bleeding. the cost of foodstuffs has that —— has skyrocketed. iran is trying to escalate, create a crisis, so the international community will come in and help with the economic squeeze. britain and france and germany want to de—escalate. i wonder how wise was the decision by great britain to seize grace won on the 11th ofjuly.

how well thought out was that decision? there are many questions. on the one hand britain is trying to de—escalate, but by season there are really and supertanker which carries 2.1 billion barrels, it was seen by a run of an extension of the donald trump economic pressure on iran. thank you very much indeed. it is worth pointing out, some of the sunday papers this morning talking about the lack of near full capacity there is in the british navy to deal with this kind of situation in this region at the moment. a potentially hugely challenging situation for the new prime minister to deal with. so much of the world's oil passes through there. here's nick with a look at this morning's weather.

it is going to get warm in certain places. it will be very hot in some parts of the uk through the week ahead. afine parts of the uk through the week ahead. a fine sunday is on the way for many of us with some hazy sunshine. if you are close to this, it will not be a fine sunday. we have an atlantic weather system coming in. that is for northern ireland in western scotland. the rain will turn heavier as the day goes on with the strengthening wind. initially, the rain will be light as it moves in. eventually, the real world move into western scotland with the wind strengthening. elsewhere, a few light showers for wheels. for much of england on wheels. for much of england on wheels and eastern scotland, a large pa rt wheels and eastern scotland, a large part of the day will be dry with his day, sunny spells and temperatures in the low to mid 20s. all the wet weather is time for the final day's play at the open golf. there will be real at times but it is as the day

goes on that the rain gets happier and the wind stronger. it will be very wet across northern ireland, scotland, northern england. the rain in western scotland could be heavy and persistent enough to bring some travel disruption. it stays mainly dry to the south and temperatures area bit dry to the south and temperatures are a bit higher than they were last night. tomorrow some rain early on for northern ireland, northern england and scotland. it lingers in north—west scotland into the afternoon. elsewhere, warm sunny spells developing. temperatures are on the up. this is the weather story for the week ahead. already near 33 parts of eastern england and that hot sunshine from monday. it looks like tuesday will be the day of the most widespread dry and sunny weather. in scotland and northern ireland the hotspots will be in the upper 20s. but look at this across

england and wales. many places getting close to 30 if not above. on tuesday night, thunderstorms are around and temperatures to laugh and scotla nd around and temperatures to laugh and scotland and northern ireland for the rest of the week. the heat holds ona the rest of the week. the heat holds on a little bit longer in parts of central and eastern england. this is heat that is moving up from the continent. it is 41 degrees predicted in paris, that could be an all—time record. temperatures in the mid 30s in central and eastern england. for some it willjust be a one day wonder on tuesday, especially in northern ireland and scotland. it will be heat and humidity, as well. our view very warm nights on the way. everything is in there if you look closely, heat, humidity, nights, warm thunderstorms.

sharan dhaliwal, editor of burnt roti magazine is here to tell us what's caught her eye in the inside pages. good morning. this one is talking about rogue landlords. a significant proportion of the population is in privately rented accommodation. i'm from london and i have rented my whole life. i am so happy that this is happening. i'm having landlord issues at the moment, as well. our list of rogue landlords will become available for people looking to buy 01’ available for people looking to buy or rent. it is going to give us the ability to have that transparency and accessibility to understand more about the people that are governing oui’ about the people that are governing our rental world. especially in about the people that are governing our rentalworld. especially in high demand areas, based in manchester,

leeds or london, you see the property and it is snap it up now or you will lose out. there is no time to check if they are on a register. but at least you have that ability, the option is there. i think there is this whole idea that you are trying to snap up places, but there isa trying to snap up places, but there is a very casual feeling when it comes to renting. having the accessibility to be able to see if that landlord has done something wrong, has been convicted were banned, it is important. inside the sunday times this morning, this is a story with a depressingly familiar theme. a number of sexual assaults taking place at university. it has been going on for a while. universities now are making changes, they are implementing changes and are putting a lot of money into the campaign. one campaign in particular

they have noticed has worked a lot is called the bystander trimming campaign, where they get one person ina group campaign, where they get one person in a group to make sure that they can see everything that is happening, the nondrinkers. they can call out moments. they have certain phrases that they can use, they have implemented this, where they give this training to people so when they go out... it is a sad state of affairs that they have to do that, and it is women protecting ourselves and it is women protecting ourselves and each other. we should look at why men are behaving in this way. there is a lot of talk about the lack of systematic change within universities, so people will need to ta ke universities, so people will need to take it into their own hands and thatis take it into their own hands and that is why these training courses are being made available. that is a shame, but it is a step towards

making people feel more safe. let's talk about cyborgs. this is the idea that cyborgs will be able to do so much more in the future. as humans we will be able them to do other stuff. it is a prominent independent scientist that they are talking about here whose name has not escaped me. james lovelock, there he is. apparently he hasjust escaped me. james lovelock, there he is. apparently he has just turned 100. he is talking about how cyborgs will rule the planet, but humans will rule the planet, but humans will be further down the food chain. these cyborgs are going to need us like we need plants, so we don't need to worry about being killed by sauropods. you think about all those films, you worry that when science goes too far, will be eliminated. it

is talking about high—technology is not scary, it is important for us. so, cyborgs will be able to think 10,000 times faster than humans! i don't think that's hard at this time of the morning! there have been some amazing pictures in relation to the apollo commemorations. this is in washington. it showed the actual rocket launch, a beautiful thing that happens. a lot of the conversations around the apollo left off were about all the main part of it. i wanted to mention that there we re it. i wanted to mention that there were a lot of women behind the team that made the launch happen. margaret hamilton, catherine johnson, joanne morgan are some of the women. brilliant that we should

remember them. brilliant that we should remember them. the andrew marr show is on bbc one at 10.00am. andrew, what do you have on today's programme? i'm joined by the man who is emerging as the conservativerebel in chief, strip —— philip hammond. i have the deputy prime minister from ireland flying in from dublin, simon coveney. with the week we have been remembering the moon landings, brian eno, the great rock star and musician, who produced the music behind a lot of those early films is talking to us as well. a packed show. we will see you at ten o'clock. we will see you at ten o'clock. stay with us, the headlines are coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. here's a summary of this morning's main news. british airways has cancelled all flights to and from the egyptian capital, cairo for seven days. the airline has described the move as a "safety precaution". the german carrier, lufthansa, also announced it was suspending flights, but later confirmed its scheduled services will resume today.

a recording has emerged of dramatic radio exchanges between a royal navy warship and iran's revolutionary guard, moments before a british—based oil tanker was seized in the gulf. the ‘stena impero' was boarded on friday in the strait of hormuz. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has urged iran to release the vessel. in the past hour, iranian tv has reported that the crew are "safe and in good health" ramzan karmali reports. the seizing of the british flagged tanker by the iranians revolution regard. tehran says it was breaking maritime rules. the owners say it was being maritime law. we are calling on iran to reverse this illegal act. we are looking for ways to de—escalate the situation. but we are also very clear we will do what it takes to ensure the safety and security of british and international shipping.

the tanker was intercepted as it made its way through the strait of hormuz in omani waters. it made a sharp turn towards iran. if you obey you will be safe. alter your course. that was the message from iran to the stena impero, and dramatic footage has emerged that appeared to show the hms montrose trying to stop the siege of the tanker, but it was too far away to intervene. please confirm that you are not intending to violate international law by unlawfully attempting to board. your passage must not be impeded. the foreign secretary will update mps on monday what further measures the government will take, the threat level has been raised to the highest level of alert. ireland's deputy prime minister, simon coveney, has said his country

wants to see a future relationship between the uk and the eu that makes the so—called backstop unnecessary. he made his comments in an article in the sunday times, at the start of a week which will see a new prime minister enter downing street. the justice secretary, david gauke has said he will resign from the cabinet on wednesday, if boris johnson becomes the next prime minister. in the sunday times, mr gauke, who has served in theresa may's cabinet since 2016, said he would not be able to serve under the former foreign secretary if he pursues a no—deal brexit, which he claims would lead to national "humiliation". the winner of the conservative leadership contest will be announced on tuesday. new legislation will make it illegal for companies to use gagging orders to prevent staff from reporting wrongdoing to the police or their doctor. the government proposals aim to tackle the misuse of non—disclosure agreements in the workplace, to cover up sexual harassment, racial discrimination or assault. the contracts have been highlighted by a series of high profile cases,

including one involving the businessman, sir philip green. scotland's public health minister is calling for the uk government to take part in a summit aimed at reducing the rising number of drug deaths. joe fitzpatrick has written a letter urging the home secretary, sajid javid to work with him to tackle the problem. the home office said it would respond in due course. earlier this week, it was confirmed that scotland had the higest rate of drug—related deaths in europe. events have been taking place to celebrate 50 years since man walked on the moon for the very first time. special ceremonies in london and washington marked the exact moment that neil armstrong stepped out of the lunar module. the original event was watched by a global tv audience of around 600 million people.

more than 1,000 paddleboard enthusiasts brought a splash of colour to st petersburg's canals yesterday. many were in costume as their favourite cartoon characters, as they floated past the russian city's famous landmarks. not everyone managed to stay dry, but it didn't seem to spoil the fun. who comes up with these ideas? at least it isn't snowing and i see. at least it isn't snowing and i see. those are the main stories this morning. very easy to fall in. if you lose your balance, you are in. nowhere to go. shane lowry is leading the score, the lowest score. the thousands of fans

at royal portrush for the open championship were treated to one of the great major rounds — with shane lowry hitting a course record 63. the irishman's got a four shot lead heading into today's final round, but will have to be wary of the weather and the english, as adam wild reports. royal portrush has never seen anything quite like this. the open championship was always going to be special — few could have predicted just how special. the cause of the excitement on the causeway coast, ireland's shane lowry. the galleries packed, and he didn't let them down. cheers ringing around the course as putts dropped and records tumbled. one of the best rounds in open history gives him a four shot lead. it's been an incredible day and i'm struggling to take it all in, but this is something that i never thought. this doesn't feel like golf to me. i don't know what it is, but look, i am very happy with how today went, obviously. i'm in a great position going into tomorrow and i'm very excited for it.

the tens of thousands of fans that had been packing the galleries here at royal portrush have enjoyed much kinder conditions and some of the spectacular golf we've seen suggests the players have been enjoying it too. there hasn't been an english winner at the open for nearly 30 years. if anyone could stop lowry, it may well be tommy fleetwood, after another flawless round. and with fellow englishmen justin rose, lee westwood and danny willett all in contention, the stage is set for a spectacularfinish. bad weather is expected, anything else impossible to predict. angling have been knocked out by new zealand in the netball world cup —— england. sports reporter kate grey in liverpool, host city of the netball world cup,

shejoins us now. so disappointment ultimately for england, how might they look back on their tournament? i think this team came into the world cup believing they could go all the way and had not planned for anything else. today they will be playing for a bronze medal. it will be interesting to see how the team bounce back from what was a huge disappointment, losing to new zealand in the semifinal. in a game when they really didn't play their best. they had had a faultless performance up until yesterday but you could really tell they were a tea m you could really tell they were a team under pressure and as a result they made mistakes. they will have to bounce back to try and find some success with a bronze medal at this world cup. let's get an expert opinion on this. we are joined world cup. let's get an expert opinion on this. we arejoined by sasha, the disappointment i can see in yourface. how sasha, the disappointment i can see in your face. how are you feeling? it is very disappointing. i know the girls will be feeling heartbroken as am i. girls will be feeling heartbroken as ami.i girls will be feeling heartbroken as am i. i feel it for the girls. it

has been a tough four years. we have gone so hard and it is about bouncing back so they can come back strong in that last match. we really wa nt strong in that last match. we really want the bronze medal. where did it go wrong? new zealand came out firing. they were completely different side to what i was seen yesterday and they came out really strong. the zone defence we were talking about, the marking style we struggled with. we didn't really adapt quick enough to that so they will learn a lot from that and i know they will come out firing today. the commonwealth games set this team alight and got a real buzz coming up to the tournament. was there too much pressure? they have loved everything that has come their way. there has been so much attention. the relishing it. yes there was pressure and they would have been there has but they have done fantastic for the country and everyone is so inspired and they are loving the game. picking up netball

again and that is all we ever want as players and people who are trying to promote the game, we just want people to understand that the game is fierce fast and enjoyable. they will play really disappointed yesterday. what will tracey be seeing? they have to get over the emotional side of things which is one of the hardest things. she will be rallying them and motivating them for today's game. it is a new day and they still have a chance to go hard. and listen, take in the crowd and atmosphere, love every moment and atmosphere, love every moment and that is exactly what i know they will do. we can call it a success, hundreds of thousands of people coming here. netball has had its time, hasn't it? it really has, the attention, it is like a carnival here, the atmosphere has been beautiful. we have had all the countries being welcomed here. i

just hope it continues to grow and grow. i think that is the hope, despite england not making it all the way through, they will be playing for the bronze medal today. netball has had its time in the spotlight, maybe not how we expected, but let's just hope england can put on a brilliant performance and finish on a high. defending champion geraint thomas lost more time to tour de france leaderjulian alaphilippe on stage 1a. the briton cracked with just over half a mile to go, to the summit finish on the iconic tourmalet mountain. france's thibaut pinot won the stage, but compatriot alaphilippe was next to finish, more than 30 seconds ahead of thomas extending his lead to two minutes with seven stages left. it's looking likely that england will lose the women's ashes today at taunton. australia declared on 420 and then got off to the perfect start, bowling tammy beaumont for a duck. england did recover to 199—6 with the help of nat sivver, but with one day of the test left, a draw is the most likely outcome.

so england, having lost three one—day matches already to australia, would lose the multi—format series. she says she's in the best form of her life, and it was certainly a convincing win from laura muir who romped home in the 1500 metres on the first day of the anniversary games. the european champion was the outstanding favourite, after kenya's faith kipyegon withdrew before the race. a determined—looking muir outsprinted german konstanze klosterhalfen on the final bend on her way to a comfortable victory. i thought, "you know what? i'm just going to sit and use my strength in the kick." you know, i know a lot of the girls there have run fast times, over the longer distances they'd be strong, so ijust knew my advantage was my kick, and i used that last lap. britain's zharnel hughes just missed out on victory in the mens 100 hundred metres. he recovered from a slow start out of the blocks but was pipped on the line — finishing just 0.02 seconds behind south africa's akani simbine. one man not in that final

was james ellington. the 33 year—old finished last in his heat, but he did receive one of the biggest cheers at the london stadium. it was his first 100 metres race since suffering career—threatening injuries in a motorbike accident in 2017. from the beginning i thought i would be back competing and for me this is my second to last i wasn't expecting anything. i have seen glimpses of speedin anything. i have seen glimpses of speed in training but literally that is the first time i have sprinted over 60 metres since my accident so after this, i cannot get on the head and really try and heal up and achieve my last milestone which is next year olympics. and goldie sayers finally received her 2008 olympic javelin bronze medal. the 37 year old briton was moved up to third after russia's mariya abakumova was stripped of silver in 2016 after a reanalysis of a drug test. sayers even wore her tracksuit from beijing for the occasion.

the james ellington story is phenomenal because it was a life threatening injury. remarkable he is at that level. and with the intention to be at the olympics next year it is great that he is back running. just phenomenal. here's nick with a look at this morning's weather. we have only had one day above 30 degrees so far. we will string a few of those together across some parts of those together across some parts of the uk in the week ahead with hottest weather of the summer so far. for some, just a one day wonder. first though he is a view outside sunday on the isle of wight earlier on. for many of us it stays fine but this is a game changerfor northern ireland and western scotland. the rain not too far away.

a few light showers. here as a day goes on. initially light and patchy, the darker blue showing the heavier rain moving in through the afternoon towards western scotland with a strengthening rent. you may find the odd light shower for wales, strengthening rent. you may find the odd light showerfor wales, the western side of england but for many from eastern scotland through england and wales, a large part of the day is dry with low to mid 20s for the temperature. just the teams with strengthening wind for ireland and scotland. the final day at royal portrush after such lovely weather yesterday it is very different today. rain setting in through the afternoon and wind strengthening as well. for many western and northern parts looking windy but the rain for ireland parts of northern england, scotland, some disruption in western parts of scotland. stays mainly dry to the south, temperatures are higher compared with last night. still a adapt start tomorrow. the

rain retreating northwards to scotla nd rain retreating northwards to scotland north, me hang on for the western coast. for many a warm to hot start. hotspots will be mere 32 eastern parts of england from hull to london. now it looks like tuesday will be the most widespread dry sunny weather. even in the upper 20s in the hottest parts of scotland. 30 or above, it looks like tuesday will come to a thundery end. thunderstorms tuesday night into wednesday morning. then a weather system which cool things in northern ireland and scotland. for some, the heat will continue, particularly across central and eastern parts for across central and eastern parts for a few more days. the heat coming from the south where in paris we could get to 41 if we do that will be an all—time record in paris and

temperatures will be nudging the mid 30s in the hotter parts of central and eastern england. for a few more days. this is what to expect this week. tuesday with the most widespread hot sunny day and after that it widespread hot sunny day and after thatitis widespread hot sunny day and after that it is cooler in scotland and northern ireland. thunderstorms possible anywhere on thursday night and the heat tailing off later in the week. not just and the heat tailing off later in the week. notjust eat, it is humidity as well. it is a very one night. if that is your kind of summer night. if that is your kind of summer weather, good luck to you but it is not mine. it is on the way like it or lump it as we go through the week ahead. thank you so much nick. down south looks really hot. some relief in northern ireland. and very hot in europe. some amazing pictures of the moon and we will

talk about one incredible image of the moon in a bit. stay tuned for that. deoxyribonucleotide — it's a scientific word for a single unit of dna. it's hard enough to say, but imagine trying to sign it, using a language where the word doesn't exist. frustrated by the lack of complex scientific terms in british sign language, deaf student liam mcmulkin has made up his own, which have now been officially recognised. hazel martin has been to meet him.

you can see more stories like that from that

you can see more stories like that from the nine. events have been taking place to celebrate 50 years since man walked on the moon for the very first time. the original event was watched by a global tv audience of around 600 million people. let's remind ourselves of that historic moment now. lift—off, we have a lift—off, 32 minutes past the hour, lift off on apollo 11. oh boy, it looks good. that's one small step for man, one giant leap for manking. that's one small step for man, one giant leap for man kind.

is the lighting halfway decent? this historic day man lands on the moon. we're nowjoined by libbyjackson from the uk space agency and photographer andy saunders. and is behind a remarkable image you may have seen this week. andy, let's start with your photo and why it is so start with your photo and why it is so unique. this is the image that ended up on the front page of the telegraph which must have felt like an incredible achievement. explain why this particular image of neil armstrong on the moon is so different to anything else we have seen different to anything else we have seen before. there are not many of neil himself, most images are of buzz aldrin because he held the

camera and nearly didn't take a selfie. that always frustrated me that this momentous moment there is no good image and when i saw this video, ijust took no good image and when i saw this video, i just took the opportunity to try and produce this. what is amazing is that you can see his face pretty clearly through the mask. what process did you have to go through to make this standout?m was a golden moment after he had done his speech and he is near the lunar module so he is in the shadow so lunar module so he is in the shadow so his golden visor is up because he is not being blinded so it was a moment where he is focused on what he's doing and his face comes interview and crucially he stays still longer for interview and crucially he stays still longerfor me to interview and crucially he stays still longer for me to lift three separate frames and i had the idea to stack those on top of each other which is something astronomers do with this software so you can really extra ct with this software so you can really extract as much detail as possible. and then i processed that image and asi and then i processed that image and as i was doing it i couldn't believe

the detail that was being revealed. it is remarkable we have had access to these images for 50 years but this is the first time that you had spotted the opportunity to do this. i spotted it about 25 years ago but it was standard definition. then nasa released a hd version ten years ago. so i went back to it and just went by frame by frame and found this moment and got three shepherd shots. and you have been sitting on this for the right moment. shots. and you have been sitting on this for the right momentlj shots. and you have been sitting on this for the right moment. i thought the 50th anniversary was the perfect time for it. the most amazing moment in clarity is sitting on my hard drive and i need to get it out there. we're so familiar with some of the other images but when you see the face like that it gives you the sense of how small we are as humans up sense of how small we are as humans up there on the moon. and it really

brings home the excitement. that moment was a historic moment and it has inspired so many people. i know you have been getting lots of stories in we had a campaign and what you get is that everybody knew it was going to be historic. people we re it was going to be historic. people were staying up till the morning but it hasn't fired so many people and it hasn't fired so many people and it was that and the images and i find this one amazing that led me to think i could work in the space industry one day. i still find it an amazing thing and i really excited to look ahead to what we're doing next. we are going to send people back to the moon. it is happening and the uk is going to be part of this through the european space agency and the next decade. we will see the lunar gateway being dealt which is a small station on the moon which is a small station on the moon which will allow us to send people back to the moon in a more sustainable manner so we can learn how to live and work out in deep space. we have managed it on the international space station over the la st international space station over the last 20 years. i get really excited as well as the science and technology that will come from it but we will do it with modern

technology with modern telecommunications and we hope the uk will provide that. we will see these sorts of images in ak amazing colour live internet from the surface of the moon and that is going to inspire a whole new generation to get involved in science technology. and poring over this image to get the detail, there are so many this image to get the detail, there are so many conspiracy theories that we didn't make it to the moon and it was done in a film studio, what have you learned that proves that it happened? a lot of the reaction has been is this a hoax? whichjust amazes me because having, it is clearly neil armstrong in the visor. they could see it was in a film studio, well fine, you can never convince some people. it is a shame this amazing event happened 50 years ago... more people have been inspired by talking about this. thank you so much both of you. it

has been great to talk about this once again. that's all from us for today. dan and louise will be back tomorrow from 6am. until then enjoy the rest of the weekend. goodbye.
