good morning amd welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. our headlines today: as ten people remain in custody over the death of pc andrew harper, the home secretary says more needs to be done to support families of police officers injured or killed on duty. a suicide bomber targets a wedding reception in kabul — more than 60 are dead and around 200 injured. official warnings of food and fuel shortages after a no—deal brexit have been leaked as borisjohnson prepares to visit paris and berlin for talks. it's the final day of the second ashes test, and any result is still possible after a day of wickets and huge scare at lord's for steve smith, the australian batsmen hit on the neck byjofra archer.

the day is not looking too different to what we had yesterday. sunshine and showers, and guess what? the same for the start of the week. hello, good morning. it's sunday, 18th august. our top story. the home secretary, priti patel, says more needs to be done to support the families of police officers who are killed or injured at work. pc andrew harper died of multiple injuries as he responded to a suspected burglary in berkshire on thursday night. charlotte simpson reports. colleagues, friends and the local community pay tribute to police constable andrew harper where he lost his life. almost exactly a month ago, the pc was getting married. he should have been heading off on his honeymoon next week. a postmortem showed that the police officer died from multiple injuries. detectives are still trying to establish why a call to investigate a burglary ended in tragedy.

his death has highlighted the danger that officers face in their everyday work. lots of police officers feel that they haven't had the same degree of public and support in particular, there have been changes of legislation and the police doesn't have the same ability to deal with serious criminals. and of course that will make officers and families of officers out there on the street feel more vulnerable as they do their difficultjob. the home secretary says the country must do more to recognise the sacrifice made by officers. writing in the sunday telegraph, priti patel says she has instructed the home office to urgently explore what we can do to better support the families of our brave police officers, who are seriously injured or worse by cowardly criminals. she said pc harper was the very best of british policing. the hunt for evidence continues at a council—run caravan site in west berkshire. several road closures in the surrounding area are in place. detectives now have until midnight tonight to question the ten people currently being held in custody.

the thames valley force has described this as a complex investigation, both a professional and personal challenge, as they try to solve the murder of a much—loved officer who was one of their own. charlotte simpson, bbc news. 63 people have been killed in afghanistan in a bomb explosion at a wedding in the capital, kabul. nearly 200 people were injured. in a tweet the afghan president said the taliban cannot escape blame but the group have denied carrying out the attack. our reporter richard forrest has the details. this is the aftermath inside the wedding hall. it had been packed with people celebrating a marriage in a minority shi'ite neighbourhood in the west of the city. eyewitnesses said the bomber detonated his device in the main‘s reception area. translation: i was in the kitchen, and was coming to the hall when i heard the huge sound.

translation: i was in the kitchen, and was coming to the hall when i heard the huge sound. my ears couldn't hear anything, and there were lots of injured people. everybody was running away. several of our waiters were killed or injured. most of the victims were men or boys. the injured taken to hospitals across the city. there were so many, they were crowded into corridors. people rushing to the hospital trying to find missing relatives. translation: i was in the wedding party when the blast occurred. it was very powerful, and the situation was terrible. i saw many children and people heard. these wedding halls have become big business in kabul as the afghan economy slowly picks up and families spend more on celebrations. but they are seen as soft targets. last november, at least a0 people were killed at a wedding in kabul. the attack came as the taliban and the united states are trying to negotiate an agreement on the withdrawal of us forces from afghanistan in exchange for a taliban can emit on security and peace talks with the us—backed government. richard forrest, bbc news.

the prime minister, boris johnson, will meet angela merkel and president macron in the next few days to present his case for a new brexit deal. it comes as leaked government documents warn that britain could face medicine, food and fuel shortages in the event of a no deal brexit. we will talk about that in a moment. let's talk to our political correspondent mark lobel. borisjohnson is boris johnson is off borisjohnson is off to paris and berlin to press for a new withdrawal deal. how is he likely to be received? that's right. ahead of him going next weekend to the g7 meeting, it has been announced he will meet in emmanuel macron and angela merkel, the two power brokers that he will need to speak to to get this new deal that he wants ahead of that meeting. number 10 are keen to stress that there is no plan for a new deal under way. this is not a breakthrough. so what exactly is going to happen? they say that boris johnson is simply going to go there

and tell them on brexit that parliament itself won't be blocking brexit, which they think some eu leaders might suspect will happen. they want to come up with a new deal, but one suspects behind the scenes there might be discussion about what a new deal might be, that the sides will be sniffing each other out to see if there is any movement. number 10 has told us not to expect a breakthrough this week on brexit. the front page of the sunday times today, a considerable spread on the front page of the paper talking about something called operation yellowhammer. basically, what could happen in the event of a no—deal brexit at the end of october. just tell us a little bit more about this. that is right. we have had drips of leaks before about what might happen in terms of a no—deal brexit, but the sunday times says it has the document which shows what the government is planning, expected to happen, and it's not the worst case scenario, they say, that

is operation black swan, this is operation yellowhammer. it is something they think could happen, and there are stark warnings. for example they could be 85% of lorries trying to get over to france, they could find that they don't have the right papers, and that could put in hours and days of delays, and that could mean that vital medicines, fresh foods, could all be delayed in the process, and people will go without them. also oil refineries might be effective, social care could even be affected, and the big scenario that people were trying to avoid, this hard border in ireland between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. it is saying that over time it might be unsustainable to keep that border free. over time it might be unsustainable to keep that borderfree. now, these arejust warnings. the to keep that borderfree. now, these are just warnings. the government doesn't comment on leaks, it says, and the government also says that they don't expect it to happen, but they don't expect it to happen, but they don't expect it to happen, but they don't deny that this is what one of their documents shows might happen in the event of a no deal. that is interesting, it is a cabinet office document, and there is a quote from a senior whitehall source saying it is not project fear, it is

a likely reasonable scenario, not the worst case. but people will inform their own view, i'm sure. thank you very much indeed, mark. the muslim convert known as jihadi jack who travelled to syria to join so—called islamic state has reportedly been stripped of his british citizenship according to the mail on sunday. jack letts was 18 when he left his oxfordshire home in 2014. a home office spokesperson said they do not comment on individual cases. our reporter ben ando has more. captive in a kurdishjail and now reportedly stripped of his british citizenship. jack letts, who became known asjihadijack, left his family home in oxford in 2014 and travelled to syria to fight with the islamic state group. he lived in raqqa, and was seized by kurdish troops while attempting to flee. injune, his parents, sally and john, were found guilty of funding terrorism after they sent him money while he was in syria, that they said he'd asked for in order to get away. now the mail on sunday newspaper

is reporting that in the final days of theresa may's government, he was stripped of his british citizenship. he has dual uk nationality with canada through his canadian father. in a statement, the home office said that depriving a dual national of citizenship was a decision taken by the home secretary on the basis of advice from officials, lawyers and the security services. it's intended to counter the threat of what it describes as dangerous individuals. in february, the home secretary revoked the citizenship of shamima begum, one of a trio of east london school girls who travelled to syria in 2015 and became known the is brides. she is challenging that decision on the basis that she would be left stateless, which is contrary to international law. due to his dual canadian nationality, there is no such challenge available to jack letts. ben ando, bbc news. the search for a six—year—old boy who's thought to have fallen into a river in kent has

resumed this morning. the child is believed to have fallen into the river stour near the town of sandwich. fire and rescue crews joined police and coastguards in the search after the boy was reported missing on saturday afternoon. 13 people have been arrested as far—right groups rallying in the us city of portland clashed with left—wing counter—protesters. a huge police operation kept the two groups apart. weapons including metal poles and shields were seized from both sets of protesters. more than 500 volunteers have taken part in the ringing of flamingos at a nature reserve in the south of spain. it involved weighing and tagging more than 600 chicks as part of a conservation project at a lagoon in andalucia. a record number of spanish flamingos were born this summer due to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures.

a considerable undertaking, no doubt! it's 12 minutes past eight. they've dominated the oxfordshire skyline for decades, but this morning, didcot power station's remaining cooling towers were demolished. it isa it is a really familiar sight, as you go over the ridgeway, there are these massive cooling towers. when you are on the train, almost impossible to ignore. the site has seen a lot of change since it was built, and former employee lyn bowen has witnessed all of it. we can speak to him now. you were there in 1970, you switched it off in 2013. how has the day been for you today? i deliberately came late, i didn't want to see the towers coming down. and they have gone down, and you might be able to see in the background the open space where they were. but they have gone, and the period is finished. the only thing left is the chimney, and that

will be demolished in a few weeks' time. what does the power station mean to you? well, it meant employment, of course. i have put it on, iwas employment, of course. i have put it on, i was considered the one to put it on for the first time and it stayed on, a colleague put it on before me but it went off again very quickly. it was considered to be a good and reliable power station, depending on coal, of course, and when the coal supplies we depended on were closed away from us, we had to build handling plants in bristol to build handling plants in bristol to ta ke to build handling plants in bristol to take in foreign coal, and the last coal was coming from russia, siberia. so it wasn't a pretty picture, and now it is gone, and now it has gone, apparently there are power cuts everywhere! probably the result of the explosion!” power cuts everywhere! probably the result of the explosion! i can hear a caralarm

result of the explosion! i can hear a car alarm going off where you are. let's clear up a few things. what we understand at the moment is that 26,000 homes in the area may be without power. the energy company we have spoken to already today, our researchers have been on the phone trying to work out what's going on. they say that this is entirely unrelated to the didcot demolition, but it must have been an amazing, awesome experience where you were, because there were lots of people watching, although i know you didn't. i didn't. watching, although i know you didn't. ididn't. i watching, although i know you didn't. i didn't. i deliberately stayed away. and i didn't arrive until they had actually been demolished. but i'm told they had a good picture of it, and that will be shown, i dare say. and that will be the end. but what's left is the be station, that looks more visible than before, that was hidden by the towers, so perhaps the b station

will be the new point towards which people will steer. people in the area have had mixed feelings about it? there are mixed feelings. some people think they were an eyesore, some people think they were delightful. an architectural design. and of course they were shaped that way to prevent the outflow of air to cool water, and it must be remembered that nothing came out of the towers other than water vapour. nothing noxious at all. country life readers voted the landmark britain's third worst eyesore, and it has but long the site of protest by environmentalists. but as you say, in terms of architecture, it was sir frederick gebhard who designed this and took care to ensure that the cooling towers and the chimney stacks were, he said, sympathetic to the landscape. well, sympathetic, i'm not quite sure. some people say it should have been a cathedral.

that is it, he had already designed... he had already designed the cathedral in liverpool, had he not? yes, he had, and that wasn't such a beautiful thing, was it? but anyway. you seem in very chipper form for somebody who has such mixed feelings about the demolition today. how do you feel now? because i know you still live in the area. how do you feel now? because i know you still live in the arealj how do you feel now? because i know you still live in the area. i still live in the area, and when the power station closed, the station manager said, you will be our spokesman for the day. i thought that would be it. but i've been the spokesman ever since. they all call on me to make my views known, and i suppose i'm representative. thank you very much, lyn, it has been a real pleasure to speak to you today. and to you.

goodbye. a landmark day in more ways than one, but those landmarks have gone for good. that is for sure. let's have a look at the weather forecast, and tomasz is here with us this morning. we are intrigued by those clouds. i don't want to put you on the spot, but they are very beautiful. this is probably a cumulonimbus cloud, and there are even those ripples, those blobs there, that is called mammatus. you will probably see clouds like this today in some parts of the country, shower clouds on the way. there are quite a few of them already across northern parts of britain, and these clouds are often linked to low pressure, and you can see this lumpy stuff, those are the shower clouds i am talking about. this hear something different, this is a weather front that has brought the cloud, and it is in the process of clearing away, so is in the process of clearing away, so the sunshine may have already reached you as it clears away from the south—east. this is what it

looks like early on, so if you are an early bird, you can see the rain, but these shower clouds, sometimes they come in these ribbons, these sort of patterns in the showers, so scotland, northern ireland, the north west of england today, a bit ofa north west of england today, a bit of a mixed bag, sunshine and north west of england today, a bit ofa mixed bag, sunshine and rain, back to sunshine again, crack of thunder possible, but the southern half of england and most of wales, you will almost be guaranteed a dry day, i know that doesn't sound particularly useful, but at least most of the time the sun will be out. tonight not much changes, the low pressure still to the north of us, sending those showers in our direction, overnight lows around 12 celsius, lengthy clear spells in the south, and that takes us into the new working week. and the low pressure is still with us. we want the high. at least i do, i don't know, maybe you do as well. the fine weather is way to the south of us, like 1000 miles. what we want is

that high pressure to build in and push away this low that keeps bringing the showers. you can see on monday showers affecting scotland and northern ireland. so is that high pressure heading our way? there is going to be a change in the direction of the wind by the time we get to a roundabout tuesday. it is starting to swing in from the south—west, and that is a sign that things are changing gear out in the atmosphere, that that high—pressure might start to be building in. still low here, still some clouds and bits and pieces of rain, but that high might be building on, and then towards the end of the week, there isa towards the end of the week, there is a chance that those temperatures will start recovering back into the mid—or even high 20s by the time we get to friday and the weekend, and of course next weekend as the august bank holiday weekend, and i'm sure many of us are banking for some fine weather. it is not in the bank yet, do you see what i did there? but it is looking increasingly good. thank you very much. not too many,

what they call, cumulonimbus clouds? we were very impressed. victoria was saying she is more of an alto stratus kind of girl, but anyway. that limits my knowledge of clouds! both of them! i can throw in cirrus, and that is as far as can throw in cirrus, and that is as farasi can throw in cirrus, and that is as faras i can can throw in cirrus, and that is as far as i can get. let's talk about something else. this is a shocking story. a shortage of intravenous feed supplies has been declared a national emergency incident by health chiefs and affects hundreds of patients across england. the situation is so serious the nhs is considering importing supplies from other countries to meet the needs of patients who depend on them. alison freeman reports. it's a painstaking process that michelle has to go through every day just to stay alive. she has intestinal failure, and gets no benefits from eating or drinking like most other people. instead, these liquid packs provide all of her nutrients, calories and hydration directly into her bloodstream. it's life—sustaining for me.

without it, ijust couldn't survive. so it's extremely important that we get this nutrition. it's called tpn, total parenteral nutrition. but at the end ofjune, the supply to michelle and more than 500 people like in england and wales became unreliable. that's because the company that makes it, calea, was told by the medicines regulator to change its manufacturing process immediately. the change slowed the process so much, calea couldn't meet demand. michelle has had to supplement the erratic supplies with replacements not tailored to her needs, and her health has been suffering. last week i actually lost four pounds in two days. i suffered with cramping in my hands and feet and calf muscles. a lot of headaches and numbness and tingling in my hands. the manufacturer, calea, should have been following guidelines which were introduced in 2015.

calea was inspected two years later in 2017 by the medicines watchdog the mhra, but no changes were enforced. the watchdog told us it was the company's responsibility to meet regulatory requirements. but injune of this year, calea was inspected again. this time they were told to implement the changes immediately. the shortage has now been declared a national emergency by nhs england. the department for health says it's working closely with the nhs, the medicines watchdog and calea to resolve the supply problem. tpn already restricts the lives of those who use it. michelle's connected for 12 hours each night. but patients who rely on it now have the added worry of not being sure their supplies will arrive. i really fear that something terrible could happen. i'm quite upset at that, actually. alison freeman, bbc news.

michelle collingwood joins us on the sofa now. and alongside her is dr trevor smith who is president of the british association for parenteral and enteral nutrition, which focusses on those at risk of malnutrition. michelle, we have heard your story in that report. how worried are you? extremely worried about it. it's been very stressful not knowing whether you are going to get deliveries of the tpn, and just concerning generally, whether you are going to be well enough and how you are going to get it, really. to trevor, a lot of people would be surprised that calea are seemingly the only producer of this particular stuff, is that right? they are not, actually, there are about six providers of intravenous feeding in the uk, four major providers, and calea is probably the largest, so because of the impact of the calea issues, it has had a broader impact across the whole of the intravenous fee... the others are not able to

pick up the slack? they are trying, and there is a national instigation, but the whole system is working at extreme pressure. michelle, i know at some point you are on these off—the—shelf alternatives. just explain to people why that wouldn't have worked for you and it was very much a short—term measure? have worked for you and it was very much a short-term measure? the tpn that we have prescribed as a fully prescribed prescription. it is bespoke to your needs overall, and your bloods are monitored very closely during the time that you are on it. and in general the off—the—shelf bags don't have anywhere near the nutrition that your body requires. it is just glucose and that type of thing in it. so you can tend to feel unwell while you are on it, like suffering with lethargy and cramping and that sort of thing. you can feel quite

u nwell sort of thing. you can feel quite unwell on it. how many patients does this affect? adults and children in the uk, there are about 2500 patients on intravenous feeding. so this is a rare disease, intestinal failure, requiring intravenous feed, but it is a really important life—sustaining therapy for patients. it affects we think probably about 500 of those 2500 patients. and is it hospital patient‘s as well or just those who get this particular nutrition at home? it is having an impact in hospitals, less so than it is out of hospital, but because of the intravenous feed market and supply which is working at such capacity, there has been a knock—on effect in hospitals. with some patients indeed being admitted to hospital to deal with the problems they have had. so people are coming back in who were managing their condition at home are having to come back in because they are not getting the nutrition they need? correct, so the impact on patients has been enormous. so,

michelle has just outlined the reasons why off—the—shelf products don't work, and there is a temporary 93p- don't work, and there is a temporary gap. what kind of like are we talking about? at what point are supplies going to return to normal? do we even know? we don't know for sure. they have been putting on a plan to try to keep things as safe as possible. we have been told to plan for a scenario where we are managing the situation until the end of the year. some people would be surprised, it was an issue in the production at the factory in runcorn. some people will be surprised it is not a quick fix. yes, and i'm not privy to all of those details, but the production process around tpn is highly complex, and therefore the actions that need to be taken to make it safe for the volume of production they need to complete is a detailed

task. 0k. and i know, michelle, you area task. 0k. and i know, michelle, you are a member of a facebook group for people with the sorts of conditions. what are you hearing from the wider community? i know your case at the moment is certainly resolved. community? i know your case at the moment is certainly resolvedm community? i know your case at the moment is certainly resolved. it is at the moment, yes, and i'm hoping it's going to stay that way. however, facebook, everybody is stressed, worried, concerned for not only themselves but some have young children, so they are finding it difficult. people are not getting to go on holidays because they don't know whether they are going to get deliveries or not. and the lack of information coming from calea themselves has been extremely poor. it took them almost three weeks to write to patients. we wish you well, and we hope the situation is resolved as quickly as possible. michelle, thank you for sharing your story with us, and dr trevor smith

as well, thank you. thank you. tomorrow sees the launch of the bbc‘s ‘focus on farming' week which looks at the big issues facing uk agriculture — including the possible effects of brexit and climate change. throughout the week, breakfast will be broadcasting live from a farm near loughborough, so we went down to meet the family that runs it. we are the stanleys. i am john, and this is poppy. i am pat, and this is martha. i am joe, and this is ted and toby. i have been here all my life. we are a farm on the edge of the charnwood forest. we have some arable crops, and we at the moment breed old english longhorns. we have about 150 of them here on the farm. here we have got any. exotic and anouska, verity, and this one here is violet. it is going to rain heavily tonight. we are planning to

work late to try to get as much of the crop in as we can before it rains. yasmine and vesper! it is the middle of the night, and we have been at work now for 18 hours. aspen. valkyrie. i hope everyone is sleeping well, and we will continue to try to get the harvest in. yell aina and ——. very sweet! it reminds you of your childhood, growing up on a farm. it absolutely does. if you have a look on twitter, you will see we have a no expense spared farm scene in the studio over there. you can't sit today, you'll have to tune in tomorrow, it will be well worth it. it will be worth it, honest! stay with us, headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. here's a summary of this

morning's main news. the home secretary, priti patel, says more needs to be done to support the families of police officers who are killed or injured at work. pc andrew harper died of multiple injuries as he responded to a suspected burglary in berkshire on thursday. police have been given more time to question ten suspects aged between 13 and 30. earlier, the former chief constable of greater manchester police told breakfast police officers feel they need more support. not police officers feel they have not had the same degree of public and political support in particular. there have been changes in legislation and the police force does not have the same capability to deal with serious criminals. course, that men make families of officers and officers out there on the street feel more vulnerable, as they do the difficultjob. 63 people have been killed in afghanistan in a bomb explosion

at a wedding in the capital, kabul. nearly 200 people were injured. eyewitnesses say a suicide bomber detonated explosives inside the men's lounge of the wedding hall, which is in a shi'ite neighbourhood. in a tweet the afghan president said the taliban cannot escape blame but the group have denied carrying out the attack. the prime minister will meet angela merkel and president macron in the next few days to present his case for a new brexit deal. it comes as leaked government documents warn that britain could face medicine, food and fuel shortages in the event of a no deal brexit. it's mrjohnson's first trip abroad as prime minister. the search for a six—year—old boy who's thought to have fallen into a river in kent has resumed this morning. the child's believed to have fallen into the river stour near the town of sandwich. fire and rescue crews joined police and coastguards in the search after the boy was reported missing on saturday afternoon. the muslim convert known as jihadi jack who travelled to syria to join so—called islamic state has been reportedly

stripped of his british citizenship according to the mail on sunday. jack letts was 18 when he left his oxfordshire home in 2014. a home office spokesperson said they do not comment on individual cases. the three remaining cooling towers at didcot power station have been demolished in a controlled explosion this morning. the site was built 50 years ago but stopped production in 2013. the towers have divided opinion over the years due to their appearance. the chimney will be demolished separately in the coming months. meanwhile, in a separate incident, almost 50,000 customers were without power in the area of sutton courtenay in oxfordshire this morning, after a circuit fault. engineers are working to fix the problem as soon as possible. scottish and southern electricity networks have apologised for the inconvenience caused.

a memorial service is taking place in iceland today to commemorate the loss of a 700—year—old glacier. the glacier was officially declared dead in 2014 when it was no longer thick enough to move. it has been reduced to a small patch of ice on top of a volcano. shall we move on to sport? could be an interesting day. i cannot believe that our final day, we lost the first state to rain and most of the second day. most people talking about the fourth day as being a throwback to the old test cricket. his test debut for england, consistently bowling over 90 miles an hour. steve smith, who has but a bsently an hour. steve smith, who has but absently fantastic in this ashes series, was hit in the back of neck.

he is ok, but it brought back all such that horrible memories of phillip hughes five years ago now. it bea phillip hughes five years ago now. it be a fantastic final day. we could get any result of the second ashes test. england lead by 104 runs with six wickets in hand. can they get a big enough lead to declare and then bowl australia out to level the series? it could be another day for the fast bowlers. our sport's correspondentjoe wilson was at lord's. everyone at lords needy contest, england against steve smith. australia had an outstanding batsman who reached his 50 before lunch and remained ina who reached his 50 before lunch and remained in a different level. that's an aggressive bowling is com pletely that's an aggressive bowling is completely legitimate. jeffrey archer respected do that and he excelled. this arm is painful, no fracture. if you minutes later, it was farmer worrying for everyone. to

say batsmen in the state is where cricket suddenly remember its context. as he turned his head, smith was hit in the neck. it's gillian batsmen died after a similar incident. there is obviously some pretty rough memories of a blow like that. there is no fun in it. smith was led away from the playing field as concussion protocol. when the next wicket fell, look who came back out. the bravery was obvious to everybody who prodded, but not the minority who choose to do. australia insisted smith is ok, but he did eventually make a mistake. for steve to come back out, having being hit the way he was does show some courage and character to do that. i

think, you know, he has been incredible in the series of fire. his individual performance actually kept australia in the game. they finish theirfirst kept australia in the game. they finish their first innings just eight runs behind england and then bowled over them. australia took four wickets by the close, but also know they should have taken more. england lead by 104. the champions manchester city thought that they'd scored an injury time winner against spurs yesterday, but the celebrations were cut short after the video assistant referee spotted a city handball in the build up, it finished 2—2. former city and spurs midfielder michael brown is with us, this isn't so much about var more the slight tweak that has been made to the handball rule, even accidental contact with the arm that leads to a goal—scoring opportunity is penalised

it is the ar, isn't it? where do you stand on this? the officials get a lot of stick, but on this occasion i have to say they got it right. the ar showed what nobody in the stadium could see. we have delivered the real, it is a very strange role and should not be there, for me. just clips on the guy's arm and that is what we have to get used to. it was a great finish in the end and everybody in the stadium went crazy. just like last season, it was ruined by va are. for one second were a bsently by va are. for one second were absently down and we thought we'd got a point and then we lost. then the ar came in, it does add to the drama. i think people need to get used to it. it does add to the drama, nobody actually saw it. they

we re very drama, nobody actually saw it. they were very gracious in, not defeat, and dropping those points. were very gracious in, not defeat, and dropping those pointslj were very gracious in, not defeat, and dropping those points. i think they understand now, you can see that he is not best pleased. but when you look at the club back, he will then realise the referees... not the first time it is happened with these two clubs, of course. that was an amazing game and i have never seen that was an amazing game and i have never seen celebrations like it, last year at the stadium. everybody running down the line and players vying to their knees. the spurs fans yesterday were chanting it is happening again! i heard other people say a football fans are looking for certain types of fans, looking for certain types of fans, looking for certain types of fans, looking for an excuse or a reason to misbehave. is this giving it to them? i listen to several opinions

after the game, signage and not want to pay and they do not want to go and it is raining it. we'rejust going to have to get used to it, there are a of positive points, but with this occasion to nail this down, to say if itjust touches any attacking player comments then becomes a free kick. that is what is ha rd becomes a free kick. that is what is hard for everybody to get their head around. we had seen it the week before and now to sit again, it is going to continue to happen. it is just very cruel when it happens to you. by the way, manchester city we re you. by the way, manchester city were exceptional on the day and it has taken away from how good they really were. it was a pleasure to watch. as the game itself, we were surely a couple of goals. raheem sterling was almost unplayable in the first half. he started the season absolutely

incredible. the ability to put the ball in the play for him. lucas had been on the ball for 19 seconds when he rises for the header. we were celebrating as if we had one, yes. only two teams have a 100 percent record, liverpool are top of the table after a 2—1win at southampton. sadio mane and roberto firmino put them 2—0 up with 20 minutes left this is a really disappointing mistake. he see him hold his hand up there. he has found himself in goal because of the calf injury and that'll make you nervous. you want the confidence of the players. late on in the game i do not know why he

is taking address, getting a little overconfident probably. arsenal with two goals from t. i was covering the game and burnley put them under a lot of pressure. one of the players, you know the score record that they have. it was a good when, but not over convincing for arsenal. norbert, a fantastic hat check from one of their players. he scored 29 times in the championship. this is an incredible goal, isn't it? he said he always felt like you can score goals in the premier league, but he said in the second game if he had got a hat—trick, even he is quite shocked.

i love the style of football, they come up against liverpool, but a good return of goals already for him. there were five league cup ties in scotland, places in the quarterfinals at stake, four of the games went to extra time one of them was at celtic park, where james forrest scored the winner against championship side dunfirmline — 2—1 there. livingstone, hibs, kilmarnock and partick thistle also through to the quarterfinals. two more ties this afternoon. wales are top of the rugby union world rankings for the first time after they beat england in cardiff in the second of their world cup warm—ups. the only try of the match came in the first half, george north scoring after a superb kick by dan biggar. england beat wales last weekend but went down 13—6 this time. that means new zealand's ten year

reign as number one is over. it is just it isjust a number, isn't it? it is like people had their stats and things, people are going to make, we will just look things, people are going to make, we willjust look and things, people are going to make, we will just look and say we were number one at one stage and it is a nice accolade to have, but it is all about the next few months. with the world cup injapan just over a month away, there's a bit of work for scotland to do, they suffered a heavy defeat to france, 32—3 the score in nice. in super league, hull fc missed out on the chance to go second in the table after losing to salford 44—22. and london broncos are still bottom but there was a huge win for them in perpignan against catalans dragons, alex walker scoring one of the tries in their 17—4 win — broncos are now level with three

other sides on 18 points part—timers wales were denied a famous win in their opening match of the eurohockey championships in belgium, they are in the top tierfor the first time in two decades — and they took a 2—1 lead over england with less than 10 minutes to go, rhodri furlong's cross deflecting in, but james gall equalised two minutes from time. both teams are back in action today. the world athletics championship are coming up at the end of next month there's a diamond league meeting in birmingham later today, britain's dina asher smith will be competing in front of her home crowd in the 200—metres — in the line up are five of the seven fastest athletes in the world this year. i was like little! i am out here in my home turf, only nice harare is

and you brought every fantastic female spender in the world to birmingham. obviously that is great, iama birmingham. obviously that is great, i am a competitive person, so it makes me raise my game. when i saw it, i was like everybody... everybody is in that race, some top class athletics in birmingham. you can class athletics in birmingham. you ca n follow class athletics in birmingham. you can follow that across the bbc. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. let's look at the front pages. the sunday times warns of fuel, medicine and food shortages after obtaining a leaked government report which highlights the gaps in contingency planning for a no—deal brexit. the sunday mirror has a special investigation looking at the cases of 63 children who were killed after the law allowed them to be left with violent parents. the paper says authorities made the decisions to honour the parents' human rights.

the sunday people leads with fury over the governments plans to raise the pension age to 75, based on findings from the centre right think tank centre for socialjustice. there's also a picture of pop princess kylie minogue who has been confirmed for strictly‘s launch show. finally, the mail on sunday says the prime minister has accused the former chancellor philip hammond of "gravely damaging" national interests in his bid to frustrate brexit. the paper also features a picture of prince andrew insidejeffery epstein's mansion in 2010. rachel boyle, a senior lecturer in children, from edge hill university is here to tell us what's caught her eye. it morning. talking about gcses mas, is that right? mark man's and english. according to this reporter

quarter of all peoples are still failing maths and english gcse. obviously the result out on thursday, so lots of positive vibes for everybody out there waiting on results. they have changed the great boundaries to allow for more stu d e nts to boundaries to allow for more students to actually pass their gcses. but still, a third eye feeling. it is a significant issues for schools. has a changing evidently, gcses and a—levels, with the government making changes, michael gove button changes and he was education secretary? is that a reason by people are failing, are the exam suffer? according to this report, the exams are indeed tougher. i think it largely depends on what students are motivated to do, i think. on what students are motivated to do, ithink. we on what students are motivated to do, i think. we have had a change in

terms of the grating boundary now, they have changed numbers. i am such an get my head around it to be totally honest. i think students who are passionate about certain subjects will always do better in those. but i think we have certainly gotan those. but i think we have certainly got an issue with man's and english, but that is always the case. change it from a nine down to a one. interesting, you have also highlighted this on here in the observer about the elderly and poverty rates. apparently the elderly in the uk suffer the worst poverty rates in western europe. this article made me really sad, to be honest. there has been an increase of pension age people living on the poverty line. if we left at the figures here, in the mid—19 80s about 1% of pensioners we re mid—19 80s about 1% of pensioners were living on the poverty line. by 2008 that had risen to 6%. i think we really need to look at this, people worked all their lives and

get a pension age and they are struggling financially. what are we doing as a society to look after elderly? i really think again this is something we need to be aware of. here it says delivers poverty rate in order people are found in places where they had but relatively generous pension schemes like some the nordic countries, denmark, as well. but also ireland and switzerland, with basic old age security and they have some of the highest rates. it is interesting less. society is quite different to how it was back in the 80s. absolutely, i think communities need to step in here and what are we doing to the capital to people and our communities? you know, the people that you live near etc. if somebody is struggling, what we do to help them? so they have a crack at this. forget baby showers, this is in the observer, as well. now mothers to be out to be blessed.

traditional baby shower where we show up and buy gifts for the mum to be has been, there is this going trend rate is been replaced with mothers being blessed. this is quite spiritual, involves hannah on the baby bump and it is not supposed to be about gets. it is more pacific layabout energies. i thought that was interesting. —— it is more specifically about energy. victoria's face, obviously i have not been in this situation. ijust do not think it is strictly necessary. nickjagger, do not think it is strictly necessary. nick jagger, this do not think it is strictly necessary. nickjagger, this is in the mail on sunday, apparently demand a new mattress for every hotel he goes into. indeed he does. he insists unless anti—also insist

on people sleeping on it night before. he insists that the matches is covered in plastic before he actually sleeps on it. somebody has to break it in the night before and then he will sleep on it for next night. i found it then he will sleep on it for next night. ifound it amazing, obviously this article then goes on to look at people and what they demand. beyonce with her specific fahrenheit dressing them, can us apparently has a barber on standby. and then it talks about van halen, i did not know about this until i read the article, than halen wanted brown m&m taken out. article, than halen wanted brown m&m ta ken out. apparently article, than halen wanted brown m&m taken out. apparently it was just to make sure people read the contract. i believe you to read the article to find out these other bits and pieces. thank you very much. shall they have a look at the weather for they have a look at the weather for the final time this morning? you promising us summer is not over.

well me a speaking summer is still not over. this is drifting off a little but here, this is the low pressure that has been driving our weather for the last couple of days. it is still here and bringing showers. it still does not feel like summer, particularly. these are showers across western scotland and northern ireland. in the south here we have had the wayne and a little bit of cloud. it was not very heavy rain, just sort of spits and spots. by rain, just sort of spits and spots. by the time we get to the afternoon the sun will be out. you are most likely to catch showers today across north—western parts of england, western scotland and northern

ireland, t. temperature today 16 in the north of the country and 21 in the north of the country and 21 in the south. sunday night a lot of clear spells across southern and eastern parts of the uk. but again, crosses western areas bmc brief showers moving through. overnight lows, 12 in scotland and we will match that in london, as well. so, monday, back to work for most of us. the weather in the morning is not looking back for some sunshine around, notice the low pressure is here. does showers and the forecast and in the south. that might bring some warmer weather later in the week. as far as monday is concerned, hand and sunglasses on the other. it is going to be that mixed bag. there will be a crucial change and they went direction, we think, as we head over the next few days into tuesday and wednesday. rather than air coming out of the north—west, we will start to see, i willjust move out of the way of the screen, the wind is starting to come in from the

south—west. that is a warmer direction and that is a sign that the atmosphere is changing. perhaps high pressure is starting to build them from the south. at the moment, them from the south. at the moment, the indication is that the temperatures will be creeping up. london a steady 21 and then 23 by mid week. possibly high 20s by friday at the weekend. many of our northern towns and cities are also recovering into the 20s. it is not a guarantee, but at this stage there are hints that things should be warming up towards the end of the week. back to summer time weather. thank you very much, thomas. you will be very impressed by our next couple of gas. exotic words that you may not know every day, but they may help in a game of scrabble.
