6:02 am
rainforest rage on. this year there have been a record number. satellites have identified over 75,000, most of them located in the amazon basin. the situation has become increasingly worse over the past three weeks with smoke from the raging fire now covering more than half the country. france's president emmanuel macron has labelled the situation in the amazon as an international crisis that needs to be on top of the agenda at the g7 summit, which kicks off on sunday in a french seaside town. but the brazilian president said the comment evokes a colonialist mindset and hit out at international criticism in a facebook video. translation: those countries that send money here are not doing it for charity. i hope everyone can understand that. they do it because they have a vested interest. they want to interfere with our sovereignty. the president has, for the first time, acknowledge that farmers in the amazon are clearing the land.
6:03 am
but he has also accused non—governmental organisations who blame his government, saying that he has encouraged clearing. translation: actually, it is jair bolsonaro responsible for what is happening in the amazon. he promotes policies that encourage environmental crime, which make culprits feel comfortable. worryingly, president bolsonaro admitted that brazil does not have the resources to fight the flames. the amazon is home to the world's largest tropical forest and it is seen as a vital tool to counter global warming. the home secretary, priti patel, is to raise the issue of migrants crossing the channel by boat with her french counterpart after more than 60 were intercepted by the border force yesterday. four vessels were stopped off the coast of kent, with two landing on a beach in sussex. another 30 people were picked up by the french authorities. keith doyle has more.

6:05 am
busiest shipping than anyone trying to cross it in a small but is taking a huge risk. —— boat. keith doyle, bbc news. great british bake 0ffjudge, prue leith, will advise the government on how to improve the quality of food served at nhs hospitals in england. the review aims to set new standards for the 140 million meals served every year. it follows the deaths of six people due to an outbreak of listeria, linked to pre—packaged sandwiches and salads, which started at one of nhs england's food suppliers. what we want this review to do is actually to look at where these best practices are happening. we need to learn from those, understand where the gaps in the systems are so we can help people eat a healthy diet in hospital so that path to recovery isa in hospital so that path to recovery is a much quicker and we can keep oui’ is a much quicker and we can keep our vital hospital stuff healthy and well by giving them access to great food as well. thames valley police force will hold a one minute silence at 11 o'clock to remember pc andrew harper, who was killed in the line of duty last week.
6:06 am
colleagues in his hometown of wallingford, say they are moved by the amount of support they've received from the community. 0ur reporter louisa currie is there for us this morning. good morning. understandably, it has been a very emotional time and the police force say they are very moved by the response from the community? absolutely. there has been an outpouring across the country but nowhere more so than here in pc harper's hometown. a business owned bya harper's hometown. a business owned by a friend wanted to show his support so he put a piece of blue ribbon across his business. from there he was inundated with requests from people asking for ribbon to put in that shop window. lots of stores here have the ribbon inside. it is not easy to spot, it is quite
6:07 am
subtle. 0thers not easy to spot, it is quite subtle. others have the name written on it. this store owner said she did not meet pc harper and did not know his family but felt moved and compelled to make this tribute. the town is very proud of the work he was doing to protect the community. thames valley police are also organising a minute's silence and that will be taking place at around 11 o'clock this morning. thank you very much. a daily pill, containing four medicines, can cut the number of heart attacks and strokes by a third, new research suggests. a five—year study, involving the so—called polypill, took place in villages in iran. it is the first major study to access the effectiveness of the pill in preventing cardiovascular disease, a main cause of death around the world.
6:08 am
the main advantage to using a polypill overcurrent practice the main advantage to using a polypill overcurre nt practice would be to take one tablet instead of several. that would be the main advantage. that would be a modest advantage. that would be a modest advantage so the main use of this strategy is going to be in developing countries. google has shut down 210 channels on youtube, which it said were part of a coordinated attempt to post material about the ongoing protests in hong kong. the internet giant has linked the move to similar action by twitter and facebook earlier this week, but stopped short of explicitly accusing china of a state—backed misinformation campaign. the lowcost airline, ryanair has been rated as the uk's worst firm for customer service, out of 100 businesses listed by the consumer website which. alongside ryanair, customers are least satisfied with scottish power, bt, talktalk and virgin media. the best performing brands for customer service were first direct, lakeland, m&s,
6:09 am
waitrose and waterstones. five million drivers are expected on the uk's roads today as the august bank holiday gets under way. motorists are being urged to start theirjourney after 9pm to avoid queues. those travelling by train should also expect delays over the weekend as network rail carries out hundreds of engineering projects. john has gone to bury fc. it is a very important day for the club as it may well be the last day as part of the foot leg. good morning. good morning to you both. here we are at bury market, this morning, world—famous, of course, and as we know it has a football club it's
6:10 am
standing in the football league. it is astonishing. how has it all happen? it boils down to years of financial mismanagement and goes back to the previous owner spending money on players wages it quite simply did not have. that saw the sale forjust £1 to the current owner. players wages had gone unpaid. members of staff were laid off and that led to a financial arrangement as a club attempted to clear it that's what it meant that it was settled with a 12 point deduction and now the football league need evidence that the club has the funds to survive or find a prospective buyer and they have until midnight. we are here to see
6:11 am
what it means on the town and what impact it will have on the community if they lose their precious football club. we will be speaking to some of the fans and those associated with the fans and those associated with the club and assessing what chance we have of finding a prospective buyer. leaving the leg is simply unthinkable for many people here. people following the story, even if not familiar with football, away from the business side of it, which is front and centre of it, it is about a football club means to a place. it has been really interesting when you read some of the articles by fans and supporters. you forget the way of football club binds a community together. you may not know everybody on the terrorists
6:12 am
but you recognise their faces. you come to a place like bury market and by your grocers and you recognise the person next to you. it is a very different, perhaps, than the thousands of fans that flock into the big clubs in the premier league so the big clubs in the premier league so it binds the community together and there is a sense that in a town like very, if the football club is doing well there is a feelgood factor and it is perhaps something you overlook in the big leagues. we hope a deal can be found. this morning a lot of fog around. good morning to you, nick. good morning, it is misty in places this
6:13 am
morning, it is misty in places this morning but the story of the weekend to come is one of sunshine and higher temperatures. a summer has been a strange one. it has come in in various bursts. injune, at the end of the mother we saw 3a degrees, fairly extreme. more extreme following the next month. the highest temperature on the record. and another burst of heat this weekend, likely to break the 30 celsius mark. the significance of that, the record for the late august bank holiday in england, wales and northern ireland, is 31.5. a lot of people will be looking at the weekend and seen sunshine but i know many of you are concerned about rising temperatures. all these records being broken. a lot of
6:14 am
people say, great, bring it on, but i know a lot of you know this is not exactly what you want to see. the chip stream is pushing to the north so we are chip stream is pushing to the north so we are going to be on the warmer side of the jetstream and when that happens you know temperatures will probably go. high—pressure building across continental europe started to bring the warmth our way. temperatures likely to be in central and eastern parts of england. it looks we will beat some of these temperatures elsewhere in europe. pretty similar to what some of those holiday destinations will be having as we go through this weekend. for this weekend event, increasing sunshine, temperatures will be going up sunshine, temperatures will be going up and looking at the big picture, not all of us today are there yet.
6:15 am
across parts of northern england yesterday and north—west scotland as we start the day—to—day, we will get some rain. mist and fog beginning of the day. drizzly towards snowdonia. the rain pushing away from northern scotla nd the rain pushing away from northern scotland and shetland. most of us will see sunny spells coming through and it will feel a bit warmer as well particularly across central and eastern and south—eastern areas of england. some heading towards the upper test. for the test match, much better shape than yesterday. through this afternoon, we will see increasing amounts of sunshine. loads of sunshine for the rest of this weekend. into tonight, clear skies. weather system approaching from west. northern ireland, north—west scotland, a few showers developing and some will be quite
6:16 am
heavy. 0vernight temperatures are creeping up as we go through the weekend. the big picture for saturday, high—pressure with warm air starting to push its way in. it is dry as well so that means increasing sunshine. so much land showing. mist and foggy to start but then clearing. northern ireland and scotland, you could pick up a few showers. not as warm as elsewhere. for most places it will below to mid 20s as of those temperatures start to rise. it looks like sunday will be the hottest day of the weekend so here we go on the sunday again. loads of sunshine just noticed the northern half of scotland, there will be perhaps the odd shower. some could be heavy but most of us will be dry. then, taking us onto the
6:17 am
bank holiday itself, if it is aware you are, some uncertainty about the speed of the arrival of this weather front but it looks to be slowing down so for monday, there may be more cloud than the previous few days. a chance of catching a shower but for most, again, a fine day, plenty of sunshine around, temperatures may be a degree lower but we could break the record for the late august holiday. not everybody likes to see heat like that concerned about rising temperatures. but plenty of sunshine and warmth for the weekend. also a lot of people who are hoping for a bit of summer, parents during the summer holidays, kids trap at home. it's been a bit of a rocky ride through august. we've seen quite a bit of rain in places, we've
6:18 am
seen some quite a bit of rain in places, we've seen some flooding so to see out the month will get closer to the end of the month with a bit of sunshine and warmth timed with the bank holiday weekend, a lot of people would be happy. let's take a look at today's papers. lots of the front pages lead with borisjohnson's meeting with the french president emmanuel macron. the telegraph has this striking image of mrjohnson with his foot on a table at the elysee palace, and claims he's told ministers they must come up with an alternative to the irish backstop. the conversation at this point was, "these tables are so low they could be footstools". it gives some kind of context. the other thing we're talking about, is there an alternative to irish backstop? "johnson encounters french
6:19 am
resistance," is the i front page. it also reports that downing street is seeking an alternative plan for the irish border. the other story dominating the front pages is this one on the mirror. a £73—a—head budget flybe flight from norwich to aberdeen. it says the trip was in "stark contrast" to prince harry and meghan, who reportedly took four privatejetjourneys in 11 days. the sun leads with the same story, with the headline: "wills gives harry flying lesson!" the paper quotes a fellow passenger as saying: "there was little fuss. they were like a normal family. just a couple of stories for you from these pages. we do a lot of stories about pet ownership on this programme, people owning dogs and there is a new survey out about owning a dog is good for you. we know that anyway, this is a new
6:20 am
survey by the mayo clinic are now saying that overall, pet owners generally better lifestyles, they are better off, their salaries, they have less obesity problems. 45% of britons now own an animal of any kind. 45%. dogs are the most popular. the considerable weight loss difference. dog owners weighed on average 11 stone, £9 compared with people who don't own a dog who wave 12 stone, £1. those of the averages. £4 difference. -- 4-pound. 45% of the population own a pet. what percentage of the population is own blind hedgehogs?” what percentage of the population is own blind hedgehogs? i would say it is small. this is the story in the
6:21 am
daily mail. stephen, the blind hedgehogs, has been reunited with his owners. frank, who is 80, lost stephen the blind hedgehog when his band got stolen. he was kidnapped, effectively. the hedgehog was in the van. they did get a call saying the hedgehog was alive and well and it was returned. he had been travelling thousands of miles. stephen is fine. he was found by a couple near a park in middleton, leeds, nearthe charity bin. they don't think the van was found. so someone made the assumption, finding a hedgehog, that it was owned by someone... that's interesting. the first thing you would think is, let's reunited with its owner. so many questions. this weekend marks one year
6:22 am
until the start of the 2020 paralympic games in tokyo. more than 4,000 athletes will arrive to start training over the next few months, but how accessible is the city? 0ur disability correspondent, nikki fox, has been to tokyo to find out. in a year's time, this city will be hosting the paralympic games so not only will we see 4,000—odd athletes arriving with all kinds of disabilities, there will also be disabled media, spectators. josh! josh has lived here for 12 years. he's now a japanese citizen and runs the website accessible japan so who better to give me a tour? hajimemashite, josh. 0hayo gozaimasu. i've lost you now. it's really busy, isn't it? it can be, especially during rush hour but if you avoid those peak times, it's
6:23 am
still pretty easy to get around. i've always wanted to try this crossing. this is the famous crossing, isn't it? yes, this is the shibuya scramble. josh, we're going to die. come on, josh. i did wonder if i'd survive the crossing. i don't think i'm ever seen a street this busy in my entire life. i'm going to follow you. so there's steps there. if would be good if you had a ramp. but there is no ramp at all, there is just a step to get in. is there anything you think i will have a problem with? yes, there's a couple of issues, i think. definitely hotels is one of the big ones. right now, there are only about 0.4% of the hotel rooms injapan are accessible. restaurants, traditionally a lot of restaurants will have a step into them. it sort of divides the house from the outside area and it's of an important cultural part of japan but it's a big barrier for people with disabilities.
6:24 am
so what's it like getting around? is it generally 0k? i generally only use public transportation and buses and subways are over 90% accessible. so we've arrived at the station. 0h, is that station? is that the lift you would use? yeah. you just tell them where you want to go and they will put a spoke down for you and when you get to your destination, there is someone waiting for you. if it was like that in london, i wouldn't drive everywhere. where are we going now? i am absolutely starving but we can't find anywhere to actually go. 0k, we're going to miss out on a sandwich there. there is starbucks but we can't get into starbucks because there is a step. 0n the right—hand side, there is a department store. if in doubt, department store food. ok, on it. i sort of always wanted to live in japan and come to japan. with paralympics coming,
6:25 am
it's a great idea for tokyo to learn about accessibility ideas and ways of doing things from other areas in the world, where people are coming with a variety of disabilities so it will be a good opportunity for tokyo to expand. but you must absolutely love it here. 0h, forsure, yeah. interesting looking around in the context interesting looking around in the co ntext a nd interesting looking around in the context and it is in one year's time so context and it is in one year's time soi context and it is in one year's time so i guess maybe things can change, maybe those parts could get better. who knew about the cultural thing about steps? you learn something new every day. what's the last thing you complained about? iwe i we talking about the last five minutes or more generally? we won't go through the last five minutes. are you a complainer? yes. in a nice way. poor customer service irritates most of us — and a survey by the consumer website, ‘which?’ found the low cost airline, ryanair, to be the worst
6:26 am
performer out of 100 british brands. clarks shoes, next and john lewis — were rated the best for customer service. we asked shoppers in manchester how they would approach talk at the time of the bad service. don't ever dwell or make a complaint later on. sorted out there and then. it's not the very british way, we don't like to do it but to let companies know if you've not received good service but also to be fairas received good service but also to be fair as well received good service but also to be fairas welland give received good service but also to be fair as well and give good reviews or comment when there has been good customer service so or comment when there has been good customer service so they know what they can build on, they know what they can build on, they know what they can build on, they know what they can carry on doing well next time. i've always been told feedback isa gift time. i've always been told feedback is a gift save got to feedback bad experience, bad service. just talk. don't raise your voice. no aggression that's going to make the situation worse. i think about 11 tills, one person working, it is a huge queue back to many people when it's going to queue up there and

the first irish league club to qualify for the group stages of the competition. rory mcilroy is just a shot off the lead after the opening round at the season—ending tour championship in the united states. he started the tournament five shots off the lead, because of a staggered start system which depends on how many points players have won during the season. but he's quickly closed the gap thanks to a brilliant four under par round in atlanta. the winner gets more than 12 million pounds. and the most random story to bring you, world heavyweight boxing champion deontay wilder has opened a chicken you, wilder has opened a chicken shop in batley. we're not making this up. it happened. last night. in the west yorkshire town. quite why — we're not too bothered. he turned up, took a few selfies, ate a bit of food. and delighted the crowds who'd
6:42 am
turned up to see him. but why we are here is because it is about the future of bury fc facing a huge fight as it needs to produce evidence that the current owner has the funds in the bank to be able to secure the future of the club or find a prospective diet as we ticked down to the midnight deadline. they started the season with a 12 point deduction as they entered into a financial arrangement to secure their future. financial arrangement to secure theirfuture. six financial arrangement to secure their future. six successive fixtures have been cancelled. what does it mean for this town and the future of the club?
6:43 am
it is one of the oldest football clu bs it is one of the oldest football clubs in the world but after 134 yes, the future now hangs in the balance with supporters of searching for a miracle. bury balance with supporters of searching fora miracle. bury fc balance with supporters of searching for a miracle. bury fc is so close to the heart of this community. the secured promotion to league one earlier this year. for thousands of fans, supporting bury has defined their life. about eight years ago, their life. about eight years ago, the bury shakers were formed after a special request from the club. they wa nted special request from the club. they wanted to do something to offer the community beyond the foot ballgame. they wanted the community more involved in the club. i was not a fan of previously. i started going to go. a lot of my fans started to go. so many people go every week to watch the game. for the supporters
6:44 am
of society, forever bury, coming to terms with the crisis has not been easy. it is distressing, leading to a lot of sleepless nights. it will bring a big hole in my life. a lot of sleepless nights. it will bring a big hole in my lifem a lot of sleepless nights. it will bring a big hole in my life. it is now emerged the owner has received for office, one which has his backing reportedly. however the football league is frustrated by the progress made as it ways to improve the club is financially viable. we have been in touch, requested the financial information but if he does not want to sell the club he must prove, demonstrate that he has money to sustain it. for many it is a crisis that should have been avoided. it is a classic case of things going wrong and people only realising it when it is too late and now we are on the verge of grey
6:45 am
clouds looming over the foot ballclu b clouds looming over the foot ballclub and i pray and hope that some resolution can be found. as the gates remain close, the message from the fans is please make a deal. as we see as we see everyone as we see everyone setting up here today, preparing for a big weekend. there will not be a lot to celebrate the bury and their fans. james bentley is a lifelong bury fan. we've been going since the age of seven. we've been going since the age of seven. how are we've been going since the age of seven. how are you we've been going since the age of seven. how are you feeling, how nervous that a potential buyer may not be found in the current owner may not put up the funds? it's strange to know something that's been part of my life for 31 years could not be part of the league. it's disconcerting, it is numbing and terrifying. it's every adjective
6:46 am
you want to put in there. you've written several books about the club. you are passionate about the club. you are passionate about the club. 0ne club. you are passionate about the club. one of the things that's become clear as you may not know everybody you stand next to, but there is a bond and you recognise faces. you come to know the people who sit around you. you invite each other to the weddings. when they die, you grieve for them. it becomes an extended version of your family. where does it leave the supporters? absolutely bereft. there is no rallying point for the supporter. 3000 people go there every other week. to watch the club. take that away, and we are not left with anything that binds the spirit together. we heard on alex's report
6:47 am
there are potentially more offers on there are potentially more offers on the table. does that give you and your fellow supporters some hope today as reticular closer to that deadline? hopefully it isn't too late. how have we got into this situation. is it because unreasonable demands are being made? we've gotten ourselves into this position. we should never do it again. we saw this weekjust how desperate that is. end of —— the end of 134 years history. we saw one of yourformer of 134 years history. we saw one of your former directors handcuff herself to the stadium. desperate people do desperate things and we are desperate at the moment. we were so close to the wind before but never to this extent. without
6:48 am
getting too bogged down in the financials, a lot of question over the current or previous owner. clearly, the money wasn't there to secure the future. questions have to be asked how we were allowed to get into this position. really great to get your thoughts on the programme this morning. test of luck today. i know you will be keeping a close eye on developments, as we all will be. as we count ever so closer to that deadline. we will be speaking to many more fans and getting a sense as james said of the loss this town will feel. we just wait for news and developments today to see if the current owner will front up. thanks very much. really interesting. we will have more from john through the night. the other
6:49 am
thing we need to talk about ahead of the bank holiday weekend is the weather. it's going to get really warm this weekend. i know lots of people, you can't please everyone because of the rain we've had in recent weeks. and the fact again that it's timed with the weekend which were some of us is a bank holiday. it takes us by surprise every time, whether weather co—ordinates. it is hotter this weekend. but some of us, getting above 30 once again. not every rabbit widely, temperatures are going to be above average for the time of yearand going to be above average for the time of year and throughout the weekend. we are not there yet. as very slow start out there this morning. we've got a lot of cloud around, some mist and fog, morning. we've got a lot of cloud around, some mistand fog, and morning. we've got a lot of cloud around, some mist and fog, and this weather front close to scotland is delivering some rain. moving to 0rkney & shetland and clearing here
6:50 am
into this scenery. a little damp and drizzly. much of western scotland, north—west england. the eastern england and into eastern scotland. the best of the sunshine today. creeping up into the upper 20s across parts of south—east england. it's an easy day for the weather. it is going to be brightening up through the afternoon. we're going to bring back the of a few showers through northern ireland and into the north—west of scotland. some of those could be on the heavy side. 0vernight temperatures are starting to creep up a little bit through this weekend along with those daytime temperatures. these are the pictures going into the weekend. high—pressure building. pushing into that direction. less cloud, maybe a
6:51 am
bit misty in places but abundant sunshine as you can see. still the westernmost parts of northern ireland. temperatures here not as high as they will be elsewhere and starting to creep up a little bit further. 30 showing up on the chart or saturday. into sunday, the warmest over the weekend. loads of sunshine around, the slight chance of catching a shower in northern scotland. if you do, it could be on the heavy side. it's then we start to see those temperatures creeping up to see those temperatures creeping upa to see those temperatures creeping up a little bit further. 25 degrees in glasgow. low 30s towards east anglia in south—east england. the bank holiday itself, doesn't look quite as hot but still plenty of sunshine. that's how it's looking this weekend. we will chat to a bit later on, it looks great for the bank holiday weekend. where do you wa nt to bank holiday weekend. where do you want to be? 0utside, bank holiday weekend. where do you want to be? outside, in the fresh
6:52 am
air? then upset many people yesterday so we sent him 33 metres beneath the ground. 33m beneath an ordinary street in clapham is an underground future farm growing salad crops. ben can tell us more. this is what happens when you miss behave. it looks fascinating. this place is amazing. who knew this was here. about 100 feet under the pavements south london. you might make out the rumble of the tube train next door. this is potentially the future of farming. in a disused air raid shelter. itjust goes to all things here. salad crops will end up on your plate or the supermarket. it is all the work of this man. let me introduce you to richard, one of the cofounders at
6:53 am
going underground and morgane, a food futurologist. this is a controlled environment urban farm. we are 30 metres under the streets of london and we use hydroponics and led lights to produce micro greens, packed full of flavour. we pack them on site and we should into new covent garden market. from there, our product is distributed over the capital to our product is distributed over the ca pital to restau ra nts our product is distributed over the capital to restaurants and retailers. we also supply many major retailers. we also supply many major retailers around the country and we are powered entirely by renewable energy. it looks really impressive and futuristic. but you were telling me earlier, what you get down here is pretty efficient. it means you are not subject to the weather or things like bugs and pests, you don't need pesticides and you don't need to ship it very far. the food miles are need to ship it very far. the food miles a re pretty low.
6:54 am
need to ship it very far. the food miles are pretty low. we save on food miles because we are producing close to consumption. 0ne food miles because we are producing close to consumption. one of our crops, t—shirts, if you are to grow it above ground or in the northern hemisphere, you would get 6— eight harvests a year but in the greenhouse, 25—30 but in here, in a controlled environment, 60 harvests a year. 60 harvests of though because it is so controlled. it's fascinating, morgane. is this the future of farming? this is definitely one of the options. we are going to be looking much more to see space and we are going to be looking much more to see space and we can are going to be looking much more to see space and we can harvest different sorts of seaweeds, even shellfish in lochs, and all sorts of waterways. mushrooms, which love to be grown in dark, dank places, we have lots of those in london had lots of options available, it doesn't have to be the traditional
6:55 am
idea that we have of farming. when we look at something like this, lots of signs go into this. you think of regular farmers of signs go into this. you think of regularfarmers being pretty inefficient. lots of grazing. you don't need lots of things like pesticides. we're looking at what is in the micronutrients our food. we've already had a lot of quantity. it's also about quality. these are really needs to —— nutrient dense. as times go forward. we are going to wa nt as times go forward. we are going to want a lot of bang for our buck, really. richard, in terms of what you've got here. you got big expansion plans in the neighbouring tunnels. in 2012 and 2014, we did a crowdfunding campaign which raised £650,000 on ourfirst round and crowdfunding campaign which raised £650,000 on our first round and from there, we built the farm and we
6:56 am
started supplying to the local markets and in retail and now we are planning to expand into the rest of the farm. currently behind me, you can see what we've got here which is about 500 square metres, the ability to scale it up to 500 square metres just on this site alone and we are looking at other sites around the country to expand into. good luck. nice to see you both. that you have it. that is what is growing underneath. really fascinating. i wouldn't want to be down here on my own, it's a bit creepy but very impressive what they are doing down here in one of the answers to one of those food shortage issues we been talking about all week on the programme about where our food will come from in future. really futuristic. it's fascinating. we will find out more later on.
6:57 am
good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a gold medal winning paralympian says she will have to accept discrimination her whole life when there was no guard to help. sophie christiansen, with cerebral palsy, was left in tears after the incident. she tweeted a video showing the passenger holding the doors open until a ramp was provided. south—western railway is apologised. the mayor's being urged to scrap a scheme providing free travel to family and friends of tfl workers. new figures show more than 50,000 travel cards were issued last year, costing nearly £42 million. in a statement city hall said it represents only "a tiny proportion of the tube and bus journeys made per day". now it's notting hill carnival time this weekend and preparations
6:58 am
are well underway. for months now, teams have been making costumes and rehearsing for the event. this year the mangrove steelband will include over a hundred members. a lot of visitors come in and, you know, experience two days of carnival but we plan it for 360 days of the year. it's not something that happens overnight. as the biggest ever reading festival gets underway — people are being urged to take their tents home with them afterwards. tens of thousands of tents and other items were left behind last year, with most ending up in landfill. this year organisers are encouraging campers to take all their kit away. let's take a look at the travel situation now. turning to the trains —and a reminder there'll be no services to or from kings cross tomorrow or on sunday due to work on track upgrades. in west brompton: there are temporary traffic lights on old brompton road at thejunction
6:59 am
with finborough road. that's for electrical work. finally in southwark, tower bridge road has temporary traffic lights for the cycle superhighway works. that's in both directions at the junction with tooley street. now the weather with lucy martin. hello, good morning. the main thing you need to know about this weekend is that it's set to be hot. in fact, we could see the uk late august bank holiday record fall which currently stands at 28.2 degrees celsius. this morning, a bright start, some patchy high level cloud and that's going to push its way north as we move through the day, so increasingly blue skies coming through. nearly very warm and highs of 27 degrees celsius. as we go through tonight, we hold on to those clear skies. it doesn't look too uncomfortable for sleeping, though. 0vernight lows around 10—14 celsius. could see one or two patches of mist forming but any patches of mist will lift quickly first thing tomorrow and we're looking at a dry, fine day, plenty of sunshine to come and blue skies. take a look at those temperatures. highs of 30 degrees celsius. there are lots of events on the way this weekend. if you are planning to head down
7:00 am
to notting hill carnival, it's looking dry, fine and sunny, hottest on sunday and it does look like we're going to keep the heat into the start of next week with the temperatures dropping down by thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address and on bbc radio london. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: labelled an international crisis, a record number of fires in the amazon rainforest prompts growing alarm among world leaders. more than 60 migrants were caught trying to cross the channel on thursday. the border force says it was one of their busiest days yet. a minute's silence for pc andrew harper who was killed in the line of duty last week. we're in his home town. i'm at bury market this morning.
7:01 am
the epicentre of a town that could lose its football club today. we'll be hearing about the plight, and fight of bury fc. meanwhile at headingley, jofra archer dazzles for england, taking six australian wickets to give his side the edge heading into day two of the third ashes test. i'm 33 meters under the streets of london to find out is this is the future for feeding a growing population in our big cities. let's face it, august so far has not beena let's face it, august so far has not been a classic but just let's face it, august so far has not been a classic butjust in time for the weekend, the sun is coming back and the warmth. how hot will it get? join me for the forecast. it's friday 23rd august. our top story: global leaders have expressed alarm at the record number of wildfires in brazil's amazon rainforest. french president emmanuel macron tweeted: "our house is burning"
7:02 am
and described the situation as an "international crisis". the brazilian president, jair bolsonaro, has come under fire for his response to the fires, ramzan kamali has more. the fires in brazil's rainforest rage on. this year there has been a record number. satellites have identified over 75,000, most of them located in the amazon basin. the situation has become increasingly worse over the past three weeks, with smoke from the raging fire now covering more than half the country. france's president emmanuel macron has labelled the situation in the amazon an "international crisis" that needs to be on top of the agenda at the g7 summit, which kicks off saturday, in the french seaside town of biarritz. but the brazilian president said the comment evokes a colonialist mindset, and hit out at the international criticism in a facebook video. translation: those countries that send money here, they are not doing it for charity.
7:03 am
i hope everyone can understand that. they're doing it because they have a vested interest. they want to interfere with our sovereignty. the president has, for the first time, acknowledge that farmers in the amazon are starting fires to clear the land. but he has also accused non—governmental organisations. conservationists blame his government, saying he has encouraged uncontrolled logging andclearings. translation: actually, it is jair bolsonaro who is responsible for what is happening in the amazon. he promotes policies that encourage environmental crime, which make culprits feel comfortable. worryingly, president bolsonaro admitted brazil does not have the resources to fight the flames. with the amazon being home to the world's largest tropicalforest, it is seen as a vital tool to counter global warming. ramzan kamarli, bbc news. the home secretary, priti patel, is to raise the issue of migrants crossing the channel by boat with her french counterpart,
7:04 am
after more than 60 were intercepted by the border force yesterday. four vessels were stopped off the coast of kent, and two others were found on a beach in sussex. keith doyle has more. it was one of the busiest days yet for the borderforce. four boats were intercepted off the kent coast yesterday, carrying 37 people, including six children. they said they were from iran, guinea, kuwait and the cote d'ivoire. another 24 people arrived in two boats on winchelsea beach, in sussex, and were detained by the authorities. sussex police said it was very concerned for another group, possibly including children, who may had left the beach before border officials arrived. more than 900 people, including at least 80 children, have crossed the channel in small boats this year. the home office says it is working closely at all levels with the french authorities, to try to stop people making
7:05 am
the perilous crossing. the home secretary, priti patel, is due to speak to her french counterpart in the coming days to discuss what more can be done. the channel is the world's busiest shipping lane and anyone trying to cross it in a small boat is taking a huge risk. keith doyle, bbc news. great british bake 0ffjudge, prue leith, will advise the government on how to improve the quality of food served at nhs hospitals in england. the review aims to set new standards for the 140—million meals served every year. it follows the deaths of six people due to an outbreak of listeria inked to pre—packaged sandwiches and salads in some hospitals. what we want this review to do is actually to look at where these best practices are happening. we need to learn from those, we want to actually understand where the gaps in the system are, so that we can help people eat a healthy diet in hospital so that they can get — their path to recovery is much quicker and we can keep our vital hospital stuff healthy and well by giving them access
7:06 am
to great food as well. thames valley police force will hold a one minute silence at 11 o'clock to remember pc andrew harper, who was killed in the line of duty last week. colleagues in his hometown of wallingford, say they are "moved" by the amount of support they've received from the community. 0ur reporter louisa currie is there for us this morning. it has been very evident how much support the community is giving to the falls and sending their condolences. absolutely. pc harper's death has resonated across the country but nowhere more than here where thin blue lines of ribbon have appeared in businesses across town, including this one here. you can see his name. joining me is the co—owner of the store. he never met pc harper and do not know his family but you
7:07 am
felt compelled to include yourself in this assignment tribute. absolutely. i came back and saw them on the doors and it was emotional to see. as a town we want to support the family. it is a devastating thing that has happened. he went out to do hisjob and lost his life. we wa nt to to do hisjob and lost his life. we want to show respect. is this indicative of the town? absolutely. we look after each other and look after each other. how did you feel when obviously so many of these have sprung up, how did you feel when so many people joined in? it is a lovely show of respect. we are very proud of pc harper and i hope the family can see that. we're showing of respect to the family at this time. everybodyjoining in, it has
7:08 am
been very emotional and it did shed a tear, for sure. thank you so much for speaking to us this morning. this is not the only tribute we will be hearing today for pc andrew harper. a minute's silence will be held later this morning at 11 o'clock. thank you very much. a daily pill, containing four medicines, can cut the number of heart attacks and strokes by a third, new research suggests. a five—year study, involving the so—called polypill, took place in villages in iran. it is the first major study to assess the effectiveness of the pill in preventing cardiovascular disease — a main cause of death around the world. the main advantage to using a polypill in the uk over current practice would be it allows people to take one tablet a day instead of taking several tablets a day for prevention of cardiovascular disease. that would be the main advantage. that would be a modest advantage
7:09 am
so i think the main use of this type of strategy is going to be in developing countries. google has shut down 210 channels on youtube, which it said were part of a "coordinated" attempt to post material about the ongoing protests in hong kong. the internet giant has linked the move to similar action by twitter and facebook earlier this week — but stopped short of explicitly accusing china of a state—backed misinformation campaign. the lowcost airline, ryanair has been rated as the uk's worst firm for customer service, out of 100 businesses listed by the consumer website, ‘which'. alongside ryanair, customers are least satisfied with scottish power, bt, talktalk and virgin media. the best performing brands for customer service were first direct, lakeland, m&s, waitrose and waterstones. those are the main stories. we have
7:10 am
been talking to you about the amazon. it is home to three—million species of plants and animals and a million indigenous people. it also provides 20 per cent of the world's oxygen. so far this year, brazil's national institute for space research has detected 73—thousand forest fires — the highest number since 2013 — and most were in the amazon. the levels of deforestation has caused international outcry — french president emmanuel macron tweeted, "our house is burning. literally. the amazon rainforest — the lungs which produce 20 per cent of our planet's oxygen — is on fire. it is an international crisis." un secretary general antonio guterres posted — "i'm deeply concerned by the fires in the amazon rainforest. in the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. the amazon must be protected". footballer cristiano ronaldo tweeted — "the amazon rainforest produces more than 20 per cent of the world's oxygen and its been burning for the past 3 weeks.
7:11 am
it's our responsibility to help to save our planet." actor susan sarandon said "the amazon is burning. 73,000 fires have been detected in brazil with no signs of stopping. the loss of the forest is accelerating climate change for us." we're joined now by professor jon lloyd, bio geo—chemist at imperial college london. good morning. 0utline good morning. outline for us the scale of the problem happening right now. in brazil, for a long time, there has been human influence on vegetation through fire and, at the moment, in the arc of deforestation, around the southern and eastern edges, where people are basically trying to remove the forest, this seems to be a higher frequency of a fire than in previous years. have we
7:12 am
seen fire than in previous years. have we seen anything on this scale before? yes, since about 2000, the rate of deforestation has decreased substantially, it is about a quarter than 20 years ago. we have seen dry yea rs than 20 years ago. we have seen dry years and el nino because basically it is hard to burn the forest so the dry season being longer, then tend to be more fires. what seems to be interesting this time is that the weather does not seem to be unusual and the number of fires has basically doubled. the president jair bolsonaro has come under intense criticism for his policies or ignorance of policies or allowing certain things to happen. do you wa nt certain things to happen. do you want to expand? from about 2000, brazil took policies to actively decrease deforestation because it
7:13 am
saw itself as looking after the forest. it has been vigorously enforced. but it seems that jair bolsonaro's comments have been interpreted, mostly by small farmers, as a license to ignore the law and it would seem that the law enforcement officials have not got the support they had in the past. enforcement officials have not got the support they had in the pastm the support they had in the pastm the widest sense, the damage done by the widest sense, the damage done by the fires, what is the environmental impact? the oxygen that the ra i nfo rest impact? the oxygen that the rainforest create dash what is the potential for wider damage? you need to remember that even at the worst rate of deforestation it was only 1% and that does not sound very much but for 100 yes and you lose the whole of the amazon. what the real
7:14 am
worry here is is a change in policy and what could follow on. in terms of the immediate effect of what is happening this year, it is relatively minor in the larger scheme of things of what is happening across the planet but it also seems to have been more prevalent in the news because of the plume that went to the capital due to unusual weather conditions. what can be done internationally to influence president jair bolsonaro and the protection of this area. if you have emmanuel macron saying these are the lungs of the world, what is the responsibility or influence of the international community? it is complex. there is an argument made and hard to counter that in the uk and france you have already removed your forest and you're telling us to keep out so you can absorb the c02. in the past, it
7:15 am
has sort of been a cooperative thing between western governments, the uk, the usa and i am sure dash i am no expert on politics dash but this previous policy have been favourable for trade deals. i think the eu may turn around and say, maybe we have to change the way we do business with you. interesting talking to you, professorjohn lloyd. we will see how this unfolds. 50 shall we ta ke see how this unfolds. 50 shall we take a look outside? let's go outside our studios in salford quays? a lovely bit of sunshine. this weekend, lots of us are going to experience sunshine. i did get a tweet from someone saying that in swa nsea, tweet from someone saying that in swansea, it was raining. nick, it's
7:16 am
not sunny for everyone. that is fair to say. we are expecting you to improve through the weekend but not as you are heading out first thing this morning. but skies like these are on the way the most of us as we go through the weekend and temperatures are heading up. how hot? 30 for some. not everyone. the highest in the east and south—east but temperatures above average across the board. as many noticed this morning, it's a mixed start out there. we have this weather front in north—west scotland giving rain, a lot of cloud to the west where it may be damp and drizzly. fog patches around especially southern england, dense in a few spots. gradually we will see some sunshine coming through. the rain clears northern scotland, through 0rkney and into shetland where it will clear this evening so most of us will have a
7:17 am
day where sunny spells develop. it will start to feel warmer. dry after perhaps you see some early rain and temperatures heading up. some of us as you can see into the upper 20s. headingley, first thing. it is going to brighten up through the afternoon. plenty of blue sky this weekend. as we take a look into tonight, there is a weather system approaching. the chance of a few showers into western parts of northern ireland. elsewhere, mainly clear. but again turn a little bit misty in some spots. 0vernight temperatures creeping up. by day, we see temperatures rising. high pressure a cross see temperatures rising. high pressure across the continent. dry air which means less cloud around. more of us seeing sunshine during saturday stop the extent of the land showing up here. a few showers
7:18 am
towards north—west scotland. temperatures here not quite as high as they are going to be elsewhere most of us, low to mid 20s. some of us flirting with that 30 celsius mark on saturday. into part two of the weekend, abundant fine weather. the chance of catching a shower in northern scotland. looking to be few and far between. the hottest day on sunday. 25 in glasgow, low 30s toward south—east england and if it's a bank holiday, the weather front starting to come in towards the north—west. it looks like it's slowing down. it means most of us will have a fine day. they could be a bit more cloud. maybe a stray showers somewhere but the emphasis is on dry, sunny weather. maybe not as hot as it's been. i tell you what, we will take this on a bank
7:19 am
holiday. that's how it's looking through the weekend. let's take a look at today's papers. lots of the front pages lead with borisjohnson's meeting with the french president emmanuel macron. the telegraph has this striking image of mrjohnson with his foot on a table at the elysee palace, and claims he's told ministers they must come up with an alternative to the irish backstop. they were joking about how low the ta bles were they were joking about how low the tables were which is why boris johnson was saying, this could easily be a footstool. that's not how he conducted the whole meeting. "johnson encounters french resistance," is the i front page. it also reports that downing street is seeking an alternative plan for the irish border. the other story dominating the front pages is this one on the mirror. it's the news that the duke
7:20 am
and duchess of cambridge took a £73——a—head budget flybe flight from norwich to aberdeen. it says the trip was in "stark contrast" to prince harry and meghan, who reportedly took four private jetjourneys in 11 days. the sun leads with the same story, with the headline: "wills gives harry flying lesson!" the paper quotes a fellow passenger as saying: "there was little fuss. they were like a normal family." that's a quick look at the front pages. this weekend marks one year until the start of the 2020 paralympic games in tokyo. more than 4,000 athletes will be heading to the city over the next 12 months — but how accessible is it? 0ur disability correspondent, nikki fox, has been to tokyo to find out. in a year's time, this city will be hosting the paralympic games so not only will we see 4,000—odd athletes arriving with all kinds of disabilities, there will also be disabled media, spectators. josh! josh has lived here for 12 years.
7:21 am
he's now a japanese citizen and runs the website accessible japan so who better to give me a tour? watashiwa nikki desu. 0h, hajimemashite, josh. irasshaimase. i've lost you now. it's really busy, isn't it? yeah, it can be a bit difficult, especially during rush hour but if you avoid those peak times, it's still pretty easy to get around. i've always wanted to try this crossing. this is the famous crossing, isn't it? yeah, this is the shibuya scramble. josh, we're going to die. come on, josh. i did wonder if i'd survive the crossing. i don't think i've ever seen a street this busy in my entire life. i'm going to follow you. so there's steps there. so it would be fine if you had a ramp but there is no ramp at all, there is just a step to get in.
7:22 am
is there anything you think i will have a problem with while i'm here? yes, there's a couple of issues, i think. definitely hotels is one of the big ones. right now, there are only about 0.4% of the hotel rooms injapan are accessible. restaurants, traditionally a lot of restaurants will have a step into them. it sort of divides the house from the outside area and it's sort of an important cultural part of japan but it's a big barrier for people with disabilities. so what's it like getting about? is it generally 0k? i generally only use public transportation and buses and subways are over 90% accessible. so we've arrived at the station. 0h, is that station? 0k, is that the lift you would use? yeah. you just tell them where you want to go and they will put a slope down for you and when you get to your destination, there is someone waiting for you. if it was like that in london, i wouldn't drive everywhere. where are we going now? i am absolutely starving but we can't find anywhere to actually go.
7:23 am
0k, we're not going to have a sandwich there. there is starbucks but we can't get into starbucks because there is a step. 0n the right—hand side there is a department store. if in doubt, department store food. ok, on it. i sort of always wanted to live injapan and come tojapan. i think with the paralympics coming, it's going to be a real opportunity for toky to learn about accessibility ideas and ways of doing things from other areas in the world, where people are coming with a variety of disabilities so it will be a good opportunity for tokyo to expand. but you must absolutely love it here. 0h, forsure, yeah. that was our disability correspondent, nikki fox, reporting from tokyo. even just looking now, evenjust looking now, i'm quite excited. 0ne evenjust looking now, i'm quite excited. one year away. still to come, we have sent then underground. if we show you the street, so we are
7:24 am
in clapham in south london. here we are. it looks ordinary but right down beneath, 33 metres beneath the road they are, let us show you the scene road they are, let us show you the scene where we will find them. it's an extraordinary setting where there is an underground farm. tell us more, ben. good morning to you. this place is absolutely amazing. it's super high tech. you might be able to make out the rumble of the london underground just next door. this place, a disused air raid shelter left over from the second world war. it goes on all the way back there and they put in an underground farm. you might be able to make out some of the stuff they are growing. pretty hi—tech technology. led lights, hydroponics. there is no soil here, just water. they are growing all sorts of salad
7:25 am
crops. sold around the country but grown right here inside london. about 100 feet under the pavement. it could be one of the answers to our food it could be one of the answers to ourfood problem. it could be the farming of the future because this stuff, if you think about it, they get many more crops because they are not reliant on the weather. it doesn't need to be sunny or particularly damp. they can control it all here. not susceptible to bugs either. you don't need pesticides. we had to go through a full cleanse before we got down here. it means they don't need as many chemicals to grow things. talking about lots of air miles to ship this stuff. it gets more and more difficult to find the land to grow this stuff. by stacking it, it's called vertical farming means we are able to get much more out of it. you might get five or six cops during the summer
7:26 am
and it will last is whole year. if you do a greenhouse, you get 25 annual harvests a year. down here, they get 60 so it's much more efficient. in some cases, it can be cheaper. established three years ago, with big plans to expand into neighbouring tunnels. i will show you around a little later, crucially where this stuff will end up. salad crops, but plans to do other things. you can't really grow things like potatoes and carrots. they still need traditional farms. join me potatoes and carrots. they still need traditionalfarms. join me in about 20 minutes. we will see you soon. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a gold medal—winning paralympian says she feels like "she will have to accept discrimination all my life"

after she was stuck on a train when there was no guard to help her off. sophie christiansen, who has cerebral palsy was left in tears after the incident on her london to god—alming journey. she tweeted a video showing a passenger holding the train doors open until a ramp was provided. south western railway has apologised. the mayor's being urged to scrap a scheme providing free travel to family and friends of tfl workers. new figures show more than 50,000 travel cards were issued last year, costing nearly £42 million. in a statement, city hall said it represents only "a tiny proportion of the tube and bus journeys made per day". now it's notting hill carnival time this weekend and preparations are well underway. for months now, teams have been making costumes and rehearsing for the event. this year the mangrove steelband will include over a hundred members. a lot of visitors come in and, you know, experience two days of carnival but we plan it for 360 days of the year. it's not something that
7:28 am
happens overnight. on to another big event this weekend — reading festival. 100,000 tickets have been sold this year — the most ever. people are being urged to take their tents home with them afterwards. tens of thousands were left behind last year, with most ending up in landfill. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. turning to the trains and a reminder there'll be no services to or from kings cross tomorrow or on sunday due to work on track upgrades. 0n the roads: traffic is building on kennington lane towards vauxhall cross. in west brompton: there are temporary traffic lights on old brompton road at thejunction with finborough road. that's for electrical work. finally in southwark: tower bridge road has temporary traffic lights for the cycle superhighway works. that's in both directions at the junction with tooley street. now the weather with lucy martin. hello, good morning. the main thing you need to know
7:29 am
about this weekend is that it's set to be hot. in fact, we could see the uk late august bank holiday record fall which currently stands at 28.2 degrees celsius. now, this morning, a bright start, some patchy high—level cloud. that is going to push its way north, though, as we move through the day, so increasingly blue skies coming through. feeling very warm with highs of 27 degrees celsius. as we go through tonight, we hold onto those clear skies. it doesn't look too uncomfortable for sleeping, though. 0vernight lows around 10—14 celsius. could see one or two patches of mist forming but any patches of mist will lift very quickly first thing tomorrow then we're looking at a dry, fine day, plenty of sunshine to come and blue skies. take a look at those temperatures. highs of 30 degrees celsius. there are lots of events on the way this weekend. if you are planning to head down to notting hill carnival, it's looking dry, fine and sunny, hottest on sunday and it does look like we're going to keep the heat into the start of next week with the temperatures dropping down by thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.
7:30 am
bye for now. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: global leaders have expressed alarm at the record number of wildfires in brazil's amazon rainforest. french president emmanuel macron tweeted: "our house is burning" and described the situation as an "international crisis". the brazilian president, jair bolsonaro, has been criticised for his response to the fires and denies that his government is encouraging the destruction of the rainforest for farming, logging and mining. the home secretary, priti patel, is to raise the issue of migrants crossing the channel by boat with her french counterpart after more than 60 were intercepted by the border force yesterday. four vessels were stopped off the coast of kent, with two landing on a beach in sussex. meanwhile, two dinghies carrying a total of 19 adults,

7:32 am
around the world. google has shut down 210 channels on youtube, which it said were part of a coordinated attempt to post material about the ongoing protests in hong kong. the internet giant has linked the move to similar action by twitter and facebook earlier this week, but stopped short of explicitly accusing china of a state—backed misinformation campaign. the lowcost airline, ryanair has been rated as the uk's worst firm for customer service, out of 100 businesses listed by the consumer website, ‘which'. alongside ryanair, customers are least satisfied with scottish power, bt, talktalk and virgin media. the best performing brands for customer service were first direct, lakeland, m&s, waitrose and waterstones. five million drivers are expected on the uk's roads today as the august bank holiday gets under way. motorists are being urged to start theirjourney after 9pm to avoid queues. those travelling by train should also expect delays over the weekend

as network rail carries out hundreds of engineering projects. giraffe conservation has taken a big step forward, with the world's tallest mammals given better protection. giraffes are mainly targeted for their meat, but body parts are also used to make jewellery, bracelets and purses. now the convention on international trade in endangered species has voted for the trade to be regulated. giraffe numbers in africa have fallen by 40% in the past 30 years, in what has been described as a "silent extinction". those are the main stories. john is not here because we're spending some time looking at bury fc. it may be a story you have heard over the past few days and weeks but today really is the point at which it could be closing down. it could lose its
7:34 am
place in the football league and that would be the first club in history to do that. the deadline is tonight, midnight. john can tell us more about this and john, you are also talking about how the community is feeling about this.|j also talking about how the community is feeling about this. i think it is fairto is feeling about this. i think it is fair to say is feeling about this. i think it is fairto say in is feeling about this. i think it is fair to say in the lower legs, not the thousands, you're getting 3000 fa ns the thousands, you're getting 3000 fans here, you might not know everybody who you are sat next to or in the stand but let's be honest you might recognise faces and it is that sense of community as is the world—famous sense of community as is the world —famous bury market, sense of community as is the world—famous bury market, where we are this morning. if the weather is turning, you can get anything you wa nt turning, you can get anything you want for a nice barbecue but they may not be much to celebrate.
7:35 am
want for a nice barbecue but they may not be much to celebratem want for a nice barbecue but they may not be much to celebrate. it is bad. a crucial day as they wait to find out if they can produce the funds they needed to keep the football clu b funds they needed to keep the football club going or find a prospective owner before the deadline picks down tonight. bury fc have won the fa cup twice that it has been such a difficult start to the season with the 12 point deduction and they have not been able to fulfil any of their fixtures so far. plenty of other sport going on today. about the ashes, and the man on all the back pages this morning is jofra archer. he took six wickets to give england the upper hand going into day two of the third ashes test. he helped bowl australia out forjust 179 at headingley, from where andy swiss reports barely a week ago he had never even played a test match, butjofra archer does everything quickly, it seems — bowling, excelling, perhaps even reviving england's ashes.
7:36 am
after making the breakthrough at a dank headingley, it seemed it may yet be australia's day as, amid the rain—interruptions, david warner and manus labuschagne, scored gritty half centuries. england were flagging butjust when they needed something special, guess who? archer prizing out warner for 61 and from there, the wickets cluttered. most notably travis head's, as stuart broad joined in. but it was his new teammate that stole the show, as australia succumbed to an england—style collapse, losing their last eight for just 43 runs. and it was suitably archer that rounded things up. six wickets for him and, after helping england to the world cup, the fans here have found a new hero. the supporters warm me, you know. everyone cheers. if you get a wicket it's that much more noise. it is nice to feel welcomed
7:37 am
and appreciated as well. a day then which belonged to jofra archer and ultimately, of course, to england. in this match they so sorely need to win, it is so far so good. andy swiss, bbc news, headingley. in the europa league playoffs, celtic beat swedish side aik in the first leg of their tie, whilst rangers were held to a goalless draw in warsaw. wolves meanwhile were hugely impressive as they won away in italy. striker rauljimenez with the pick of the goals as they beat torino 3—2. the return leg is at molyneux next thursday. and how about this from linfield's shayne lavery. a brilliant solo effort as the northern irish side stunned ak qarabag from azerbaijan 3—2 in the first leg of their europa league play off. linfield are aiming to become the first irish league club to qualify for the group
7:38 am
stages of the competition. rory mcilroy is just a shot off the lead after the opening round at the season—ending tour championship in the united states. the winner of the tournament taking home a cool £12 million. not bad, is it! he started the tournament five shots off the lead — because of a staggered start system which depends on how many points players have won during the season. and this was all a bit strage. this is the world heavyweight boxing champion deontay wilder, opening a chicken shop in batley. we're not making this up. it happened. last night. in the west yorkshire town. quite why — we're not too bothered. he turned up, took a few selfies, ate a bit of food. and delighted the crowds who'd turned up to see him. a real feelgood factor. a realfeelgood factor. not a real feelgood factor. not so a realfeelgood factor. not so much here in the town of bury as they face a crucial deadline, hoping to
7:39 am
find a prospective buyerfor this clu b find a prospective buyerfor this club otherwise 134 years of history, to fa cup history will be consigned to fa cup history will be consigned to history. what impact will it have on the town and supporters? it is one of the oldest football clubs in the world but after 134 years, the future at gigg lane, now hangs in the balance, with supporters searching for a miracle. bury fc is so close to the heart of this community. they've twice won the fa cup and, early this year, secured promotion to league one. for thousands of fans, supporting bury has defined their lives. cheerleaders: b-u-r-y, we're not prepared to say goodbye... about eight years ago, the bury shakers were formed after a special request from the club. they wanted to do something they couldgive and offer the community beyond the football game every saturday.
7:40 am
they wanted the community more involved in the club and see what the club could do for local people. i was not a fan previous and so i started going myself. a lot of my friends started to come. bury fc is like the heart of bury. so many people go every week to watch the games and with what's going on, it'sjust awful. for the supporters society, forever bury, coming to terms with the crisis has not been easy. it is quite distressing, really, leading to a lot of sleepless nights. it will leave a massive hole in my life. it's virtually been our social life since we were little. with the club in financial turmoil, it has now emerged that owner, steve dale, has received four offers, one which reportedly, has his backing. however the english football league says it is frustrated at the lack of progress made as it waits for proof that the club is financially viable. we have been approached, we've put the people in touch with mr dale, we've requested the financial information that we've shown to him, but if he does not want to sell the club then he just
7:41 am
must prove to us, just demonstrate that he has money to sustain it. for many it is a crisis that should have been avoided. it is a classic case of things going wrong, and people only realising it when it gets too late, and now we are on the verge of — i mean, the grey sky clouds are looming over us here — they're certainly looming over the football club and ijust pray and hope that some resolution can be found it. as the gates at gigg lane remain close, the message from the fans to steve dale is, please, make a deal. alex humphreys, bbc news, bury. it does seem astonishing that the clu b it does seem astonishing that the club was just bought for £1 by the current owner. i'm joined now by dan plumley, football finance expert from sheffield hallam university. people will be watching, thinking, how on earth is the current owner bought the club for £1. surely he
7:42 am
had to demonstrate that he had the money to the english football league? the regulations themselves, we know they are not quite right in terms of where regulations are at the minute and only checked for criminal background. the other issue is whether the sale price of a pound, the current owner would have taken on debt from the previous owner. this is a period of five — seven owner. this is a period of five — seve n yea rs owner. this is a period of five — seven years of poor financial performance. perhaps the english football league have to take some accountability but not doing due diligence and checking the funds where there for the future. there is still a long way to go with changes that have come in recently. there is still a lot they can do and a call around the regulations in terms of
7:43 am
who is owning these clubs to avoid situations like this. other clubs need to improve so they can live within their means as other clubs are doing any leg wonder. what we know about football club revenue, all the money is in the premier league and that is not the picture as you move down. particularly ligue 1and as you move down. particularly ligue 1 and lead to, the revenue is not there but the cost is quite high. —— ligue1 there but the cost is quite high. —— ligue 1 and league to. nice to talk to. pick yourself something nice for a barbecue this weekend. it is a fans that feel the pain and it is the case here. inaudible. gareth, what was it like playing in front of the fans? they are amazing. it is a
7:44 am
real community and family club and they were always brilliant with me andi they were always brilliant with me and i still see people now who come and i still see people now who come and say hi and recognise me after, what, nearly 20 years. you played with salford city and you know gary neville and his involvement and we know that his mother was club secretary and only recently resigned after 35 years. it is not only affecting the fans and players but also people that work for the club. gary's mum and dad both worked there for many years and that is a thing, people do not realise that it is not just the 15 players out on the pitch and the squad, it is about the community, all the staff, everyone that has been involved in the club for 30 — 40 years, and
7:45 am
that has been involved in the club for30 — 40 years, and it that has been involved in the club for 30 — 40 years, and it affects everybody and our jobs for 30 — 40 years, and it affects everybody and ourjobs are on the line and we could be sat here in 24 hours time with no football club at all. what about the players? only six registered players at the moment. they are still training. they could sign some players if they get the go—ahead. it must be stressful on the training game? they are playing through a side in the morning. it is a weird one but hopefully the english football league consulted out and register these players and get bury playing again on the page but it is fingers crossed, not just for the football clu b crossed, not just for the football club but for the whole town and i just really hope it gets sorted out as soon as just really hope it gets sorted out as soon as possible. great to speak to you this morning. thank you very much. amazing that the current manager believes, despite the 12 point reduction as part of the financial arrangement, he still
7:46 am
believes he can get is a club back up believes he can get is a club back up the leg with those players. —— league. but they need the go—ahead from the english football league and we need to see if funds are available or hopefully a purchaser can come through at this late stage to secure the survival of bury fc. it is really going to the wire. great guests there. you realise where business stops and then community starts. really interesting. coverage of that through the morning. what is it you are? perhaps you are in glasgow. a little bit cloudy but you can see the sun peeking through. let's have a look outside our studios in sa lfo rd. a look outside our studios in salford. similar, pale sunshine. the weather seems a bit mild. beautiful
7:47 am
cloud formation. see that? hazy in london. a view of the river thames and the houses of parliament. glorious. there is going to be some glorious sunshine around the bank holiday weekend. not too much of a letdown, really, since we've had a washout in the last few weeks. august hasn't really delivered a huge amount of fine weather. some of us have seen a lot of rain so maybe it's time for a bit of warmth and sunshine and it's time for the weekend and a bank holiday weekend the many of us as well. turning hotter this weekend. some of us will get above 30 celsius. sunday is going to be the hottest day. the highest temperatures, eastern and south—east england. temperatures heading above average. i have to say, a little bit shy to start the day. an improving story. reining in north—west scotland. cloud across
7:48 am
the western side of the uk. most of us, it's a slow start and brightening up with sunny spells developing. look at the rain pushing away from the north of scotland. moving through 0rkney to shetland. the colours here show we hold onto some cloud and reuse through the north—west. not as warm here many of us getting to at least the low 20s. as for the test match, after a rubbish day yesterday. it is going to turn out to be warmer as well. many of us overnight, clear with a few mist and fog patches forming in places. notice this weather system coming in. starting to produce a few
7:49 am
showers. 0vernight temperatures, which will head up further. the warmth heading up across the continent, bringing in that warmth with drier air as well as we can the weekend. less in the way of cloud. notice the land showing up for saturday. still a few showers in north—west scotland. closed 30 in south—east england. as for sunday, it's going to be sunny spells, if not clear blue skies. a stray shower in northern scotland. most of us won't. those temperatures speak into the low 20s across east anglia and south—east england. for the bank holiday, which it is in england and wales and northern ireland, again, looking fine out there. this weather front looks like it is slowing down. for monday, a mixture of cloud and
7:50 am
sunshine and still some of us getting close to 30 celsius. a record for the late august bank holiday. not bad at all. thank you very much. so often when we are sent out and about, we hope for good weather. especially at this time of morning, you needed to be warm so when ben was holding —— when ben was told he was going out, he was quite pleased. 33 metres underground.“ you are fascinated about what is underground, tunnels, air raid shelters, maybe two blinds. ben is down one of those right now. 33 metres below the streets of clapham. what an extraordinary place this is. please explain, ben. you might be able to make out that rumble of the tube line just next door. we are about 100 feet, 30 metres or so below ground in this disused air raid shelter. by very definition,
7:51 am
the weather could be doing anything outside. growing all sorts of different crops. it's an underground farm, verticalfarming different crops. it's an underground farm, vertical farming and different crops. it's an underground farm, verticalfarming and it's using some pretty hi—tech kit to grow some of the stuff that might appear on your plate. actually across the country as well. it's all the work of stephen, who is with me. i will explain the relevance of what lukeis i will explain the relevance of what luke is doing. talk to me about what you've got here. it all looks very impressive. you are growing salad. why so far underground. in the world, we need a lot more food. 60% more by 2050. in the average age of the 60 years old. we have a finite
7:52 am
amount of people, and we are close to the markets. controlling all of our inputs. from every square metre, and intensify yields. you get much more the harvest. if this was grown on fibre six years, you get up to 60 harvests a year. in the uk, you get three crops per summer but in a glasshouse, probably 25, 30. we get 62 plus crops here. we stuck it on top of each other. luke is with me endure at university and work with farmers in agriculture and technology. talk about the relevance of something like this. you can't replicate carrots and things like this. this is all about urban farming, trying to solve a social issue. getting closer to people in the city but the bedrock of food
7:53 am
production will always be farmers. it's unlikely to be efficient to be done underground so a lot of the innovation happening there is to help small farmers better use their land so i said a complimentary solution. in one of the issues as land loss. there is so many pressures on land. actually, farms are getting smaller. this is one way to use land more efficiently. using land which otherwise wasn't used at all. it's amazing. but also on land loss, there are other ways of farming the land. you have to remember, helping climate change, so again, initiatives like these are fantastic but it's not going to work for everyone. you have to use other solutions as well. it looks like
7:54 am
it's very energy intensive, lots of cooling, that sort of thing. how to make sure it's environmentally friendly. it's all from renewables. that's how we manage that. energy is one of our inputs. the major inputs are starting and employment costs. redeploying our labourers we start automate ourfarming. redeploying our labourers we start automate our farming. big expansion plans. you so much. that's what they are doing down here, about 100 feet below the ground. this place is a real rabbit warren. it goes on for miles. i'm not going to go too far because i don't want to get stuck down here. it really is a fascinating place. it reminds me of a nightclub. during the one of
7:55 am
those? do you mean a discotheque? is that what you are talking about? sorry. if you want to complain about anything, send your complaints in. in fact, don't send your complaints poor customer service irritates most of us — and a survey by the consumer website, ‘which', found the low cost airline, ryanair, to be the worst performer out of 100 british brands. clarks shoes, next and john lewis — were rated the best for customer service. we asked shoppers in manchester how often they make a complaint. talk at the time of the bad service. don't let it dwell or make a complaint later on. sort it out there and then. it's not the very british way, is it, we don't like to do it but to let companies know if you've not received good service but also to be fair as well and give good reviews or to comment when there has been good customer service so they know
7:56 am
what they can build on, they know what to carry on doing well next time. i've always been told feedback's a gift so you've got to feedback tha that experience, bad service. just talk. don't raise your voice. no aggression that's going to make the situation worse. i think about 11 tills, one person working, it was a huge queue of like 20 people, we went to go queue up there and about halfway through the queue, getting close to the till, the person makes a hot dog, not for a customer but for herself and goes into the back room. she didn't come out for another half— hour so were literally just stood there. we were late for the film. i was with my family, i've never seen my dad so angry. went for a meal not so long ago and the waiter dropped a pint of peroni on my nan, all over her, all over her. they were quite nice about it, they give us all drinks for free and she was ok. we booked into a hotel this morning and we knew that there were we were there long before check—in time but ijust said
7:57 am
to the receptionist, could she text me when the room was ready? and she said, "i'm too busy to do that, can't do that." iam very i am very good at complaining. politely, but firm. declare, don't get angry, know what you want and make sure you get to that point. don't give up. anything else? don't interrupt. do you know how to make and deal with a complaint to get the outcome you want? we'd love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad — and how important customer service is to you. you can email us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk rshare your thoughts with other viewers on our facebook page and on twitter. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a gold medal—winning paralympian says she feels

hello, good morning. the main thing you need to know about this weekend is that it's set to be hot. in fact, we could see the uk late august bank holiday record fall which currently stands at 28.2 degrees celsius. this morning, a bright start, some patchy high level cloud and that's going to push its way north as we move through the day, increasingly blue skies coming through. nearly very warm and highs of 27 degrees celsius. as we go through tonight, we hold on to those clear skies. it doesn't look too uncomfortable for sleeping, though. 0vernight lows around 10—14 celsius. could see one or two patches of mist forming but any patches of mist will lift quickly first thing tomorrow and we're looking at a dry, fine day, plenty of sunshine to come and blue skies. take a look at those temperatures. highs of 30 degrees celsius. there are lots of events on the way this weekend. if you are planning to head down to notting hill carnival, it's looking dry, fine and sunny, hottest on sunday and it does look like we're going to keep the heat into the start of next week with the temperatures dropping down by thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now, though, it's back

meanwhile, at headingley, jofra archer dazzles for england — taking six australian wickets to give his side the edge heading into day two of the third ashes test. good morning. is this the future of farming? 100 feet below the streets of london in an underground farm where they are growing crops for us to eat. that morning. a slow start this morning and the weather, some fog and cloud and rain but stand by for increasing sunshine and warmth. just in time for the weekend! how hot will it get? join me for the forecast. it's friday 23rd august. our top story. global leaders have expressed alarm at the record number of wildfires in brazil's amazon rainforest. the french president emmanuel macron tweeted "our house is burning" and described the situation as an "international crisis". the brazilian president, jair bolsonaro, has been criticised for his response to the fires, ramzan kamali has more.
8:03 am
the fires in brazil's rainforest rage on. this year, there's been a record number. satellites have identified over 75,000, most of them located in the amazon basin. the situation has become increasingly worse over the past three weeks, with smoke from the raging fires now covering more than half the country. france's president, emmanuel macron, has labelled the situation in the amazon an "international crisis" that needs to be on top of the agenda at the g7 summit, which kicks off saturday, in the french seaside town of biarritz. but the brazilian president said the comment evokes a colonialist mindset, and hit out at the international criticism in a facebook video. translation: those countries that send money here, they're not doing it for charity. i hope everyone can understand that. they're doing it because they have a vested interest. they want to interfere with our sovereignty.
8:04 am
the president has, for the first time, acknowledge that farmers in the amazon are starting fires to clear the land. but he's also accused non—governmental organisations. conservationists blame his government, saying he has encouraged uncontrolled logging and clearings. translation: actually, it's bolsonaro who is responsible for what is happening in the amazon. he promotes policies that encourage environmental crime, which make culprits feel comfortable. worryingly, president bolsonaro admitted brazil doesn't have the resources to fight the flames. with the amazon being home to the world's largest tropical forest, it's seen as a vital tool to counter global warming. ramzan kamarli, bbc news. the home secretary, priti patel, is to raise the issue of migrants crossing the channel by boat with her french counterpart, after more than 60 were intercepted by the border force yesterday. four vessels were stopped off the coast of kent, and two others were found on a beach in sussex.
8:05 am
keith doyle has more. it was one of the busiest days yet for the borderforce. four boats were intercepted off the kent coast yesterday, carrying 37 people, including six children. they said they were from iran, guinea, kuwait and the ivory coast. another 24 people arrived in two boats on winchelsea beach, in sussex, and were detained by the authorities. sussex police said it was very concerned for another group, possibly including children, who may had left the beach before border officials arrived. more than 900 people, including at least 80 children, have crossed the channel in small boats this year. the home office says it is working closely at all levels with the french authorities, to try to stop people making the perilous crossing. the home secretary, priti patel, is due to speak to her french counterpart in the coming days, to discuss what more can be done. the channel is the world's busiest shipping lane and anyone trying
8:06 am
to cross it in a small boat is taking a huge risk. keith doyle, bbc news. great british bake 0ffjudge, prue leith, will advise the government on how to improve the quality of food served at nhs hospitals in england. the review aims to set new standards for the 140 million meals served every year. it follows the deaths of six people due to an outbreak of listeria linked to pre—packaged sandwiches and salads in some hospitals. what we want this review to do is actually to look at where these best practices are happening. we need to learn from those, we want to actually understand where the gaps in the system are, so that we can help people eat a healthy diet in hospital so that they can get — their path to recovery is much quicker and we can keep our vital hospital stuff healthy and well, by giving them access to great food as well. google has shut down 210 channels on youtube, which it said were part of a "coordinated" attempt to post material about the ongoing
8:07 am
protests in hong kong. the internet giant has linked the move to similar action by twitter and facebook earlier this week, but stopped short of explicitly accusing china of a state—backed misinformation campaign. a daily pill, containing four medicines, can cut the number of heart attacks and strokes by a third, new research suggests. a five—year study, involving the so—called polypill, took place in villages in iran. it is the first major study to assess the effectiveness of the pill in preventing cardiovascular disease — a main cause of death around the world. the main advantage to using a polypill in the uk over current practice would be it allows people to take one tablet a day instead of taking several tablets a day for prevention of cardiovascular disease. that would be the main advantage. that would be a modest advantage, so i think the main use of this type of strategy is going to be in developing countries. the lowcost airline, ryanair has been rated as the uk's worst firm for customer service,
8:08 am
out of 100 businesses listed by the consumer website, which. alongside ryanair, customers are least satisfied with scottish power, bt, talktalk and virgin media. the best performing brands for customer service were first direct, lakeland, m&s, waitrose and waterstones. five million drivers are expected on the uk's roads today as the august bank holiday gets under way. motorists are being urged to start their journey after 9pm to avoid queues. those travelling by train should also expect delays over the weekend, as network rail carries out hundreds of engineering projects. those are the main stories. it's 8:08am. sport and weather coming up later on. the death of pc andrew harper has been marked in his home town with blue ribbons attached to doorways and displayed in windows. pc harper grew up and lived in wallingford in 0xfordshire and died while attending a reported break—in last week. we're nowjoined by andy ledbury, a friend of pc harper's, who started
8:09 am
the blue ribbon campaign. thank you forjoining us. first of all, i would like to say i am sorry for your loss of your friend and you are here to talk to us, to tell us what kind of man pc andrew harper was. he wasjust a really nice chap, the nicest chap you could wish to meet, always smiling, always happy. i think really if you'd given us the text to this letter last week, eve ryo ne text to this letter last week, everyone would have put their name to that. you have known in the best pa rt to that. you have known in the best part of ten years? yes. how did you get to know him, how did your friendship developed? get to know him, how did your friendship developed ?|j get to know him, how did your friendship developed? i was friends with his wife because my parents and andrew came to work with me with a roofing business. everybody took to
8:10 am
andrew straightaway. it's very easy to see, always smiling, always happy. yes, just a really nice chap. low ribbon tribute you've begun and we saw earlier with our reporter showing as lots of stores, people in the community have taken it on as well. there has been a big reaction. what does this ribbon signify? the ribbon signified, it started because we we re ribbon signified, it started because we were in a state of shock and wa nted we were in a state of shock and wanted to do something to show our respects to andrew and also the police force. so it began when i brought some ribbon into town and very quickly realise that everybody felt the same and everybody wanted to show their respects to andrew and for the police force in general and the ribbon took off immediately. by five o'clock saturday, there was hardly a shop without it and those that didn't have it, didn't have it
8:11 am
because it was close. have you been surprised by how the community has reacted ? surprised by how the community has reacted? because surprised by how the community has reacted ? because not surprised by how the community has reacted? because not everyone knew andrew harper but lots of people are willing to show their support for his family. absolutely. actually, most people didn't realise just how local andrew wells when they asked for the ribbon. they were moved by the case on its own and then it was only as i was giving them the ribbons, because no one asked to take it, everyone displaying the ribbons has asked for the ribbon. it was only when i was giving out the ribbon that the conversation came out he was local, from abingdon, where he worked from. i notified them he wears a lot more local than that and thatjust i notified them he wears a lot more local than that and that just seemed to increase the intensity of the emotions that were being felt at the time. of course, there is a one—minute silence being held today at 11 o'clock. it will be a very
8:12 am
emotional time. how will at 11 o'clock. it will be a very emotionaltime. how will you at 11 o'clock. it will be a very emotional time. how will you be spending that time with friends and family? i think, yes, spending that time with friends and family? ithink, yes, back spending that time with friends and family? i think, yes, back here in wallingford. i think you will find the support for andrew is countrywide. we have had e—mails from people around the country that feel the same way. andy ledbury, friend of pc andrew harper and organising this blue ribbon tribute, thank you for spending time with this on breakfast this morning. it is 8am. bank holiday approaching the stop let's see what how the weather is. we have clouds but a little sun peeping through in glasgow. let's take our cameras outside our studios here in salford. asimilar outside our studios here in salford. a similar picture, looks rather calm and rather beautiful. looks stunning, what is london looking like? sunny, already. a bit hazy
8:13 am
earlier on. river thames, houses like? sunny, already. a bit hazy earlier on. riverthames, houses of parliament, the london eye and now you have nick who will tell us how sunny and hot it will be busy can. you have a glorious scene behind you as well, good morning. yes, good morning. just in time for the late summer bank holiday weekend. england, wales and northern ireland that is. turning sunnier and hotter this weekend. it has been a strange summer. let me talk you through it, in terms of the heat we have had. it has come in bursts rather than constant heat. take you back to close to the end ofjune, when temperatures got above 30 celsius, 34 in london. then a month later when we had another burst of heat. what a burst of heat that was! extreme heat, the uk plasma highest temperature on record, 38.7 at cambridge. since then, temperatures have come down. quite a bit of rain, flooding in places as well. fast forward a month and we are about to turn those temperatures up again, 31
8:14 am
celsius. it looks like the hottest day will be on sunday, through eastern and south—eastern parts of england. across the board, going above average. the significance of that, the record for the late summer bank holiday weekend is 31.5 so it looks like it will come close. in terms of the bank holiday itself, on monday the record is 28.2 in england, 28.9 in the channel islands unlikely we will beat that on monday. i have to say, although a lot of people look at this and say, yes, warmth and sunshine for the weekend! we should acknowledge the fa ct weekend! we should acknowledge the fact in terms of these records being broken, and we had the hot weather at easter and in february as well, the warmest february temperature on record, people are concerned on how that fits into climate change and warming temperatures across the globe. we are aware of that but temperatures heading up this weekend. the reason why? let's look at the jet stream. that was running across northern parts of the uk yesterday. notice how it is lifting northwards now. we will be on the warmer side of thejet
8:15 am
northwards now. we will be on the warmer side of the jet stream and high pressure is building in so it will become mainly dry. high pressure will be centred across the continent. it is from here we will push this warmth in our direction as we go through the weekend. a state occasion is looking good. what about if you are heading elsewhere? we will be on a par with some nice locations here. not really a case of it's going to be massively hotter thanit it's going to be massively hotter than it is elsewhere in europe but if you are in here or other spots, around 30 celsius with some sunshine. just a reminder about the headline for this weekend. hotting up. we are not there yet. a pretty slow start this morning. i know those pictures we saw earlier had seven—week sunshine but fog in some parts, raining in north—west got on with this weather front close by. that today will feed its way northwards through 0rkney and then to shetland, where it clears this evening for some elsewhere, starting with cloud in the west and perhaps some drizzle, that should fade away. it isa some drizzle, that should fade away. it is a case of brightening up more
8:16 am
of us getting to see some sunshine as we go through the day. still quite breezy towards north—western parts of the uk. temperatures held down where you hold onto some cloud into the high teens but many of us getting into the low 20s at least. mid or upper 20s across some parts of central and eastern england. for the test match as it continues at headingley, yesterday was rubbish. in terms of the weather, not the cricket necessarily! today we are going to say things brightening up after some cloud to begin the day foster more sunshine by the end of play. and indeed throughout this weekend. into tonight, clear skies for many. could see some mist and fog patches returning and the chance of northern ireland in north—west scotland catching some showers that could be on the heavy side. 0vernight, temperatures creep up this weekend. might be welcome news for you if you are camping this weekend was that the picture on saturday, high pressure in the continent, warm air coming our way. also dry air. what does that mean? it means there will be less cloud around. you can see
8:17 am
the land showing up on saturday, pretty much cloud free, some cloud toward south—west england later in the day. further west in northern ireland had north—west got them, you may catch a shower. the temperature colours showing they are a little cooler than elsewhere. 30 showing up towards the south—east of england. but more places in the mid to upper 20s. 0n but more places in the mid to upper 20s. on sunday, again, plenty of sunshine around and may be a stray shower somewhere in northern scotland. bear that in mind. if you catch one, it could be on the heavy side. i think many of us will not. looks like the warmest day of the weekend, low 30s in east anglia and south—east england. 25 in glasgow, upper 20s in northern england as well. then that view of the bank holiday for england, wales and northern ireland. there is the big picture. this weather front will eventually cool things as we go through next week. looks like it will be pretty slow in getting in. doesn't look like it will arrive on monday. maybe a little more cloud in a few spots but still some sunshine. not quite as hot as it has been for
8:18 am
some of us over the weekend but still close to 30. if we get that high, that will be a record for that late august bank holiday. so warmth, sun, record temperatures on the cards. more importantly, though, it's a weekend and a bit of sunshine on the way! aren't you working all weekend? 0h, don't remind me! laughter even monday! well, lucky us, lucky viewers on brea kfast. well, lucky us, lucky viewers on breakfast. how many times a day do you think people complain about the weather? to you or yourforecasts? me personally? wright the department? the department gets a lot of flak for not getting it accurate. of course, always discussion. what... when there are showers, it's really ha rd to what... when there are showers, it's really hard to pinpoint exactly when a shower is going to be hitting in a particular location. i love those complaints which has a view of
8:19 am
someone's app showing clear blue sky at that particular moment in time and then showing us a shower outside at that particular moment outside. they are hard to get right. as long as someone they are hard to get right. as long as someone complains politely, you don't mind? of course, they are fair comments. i thank you. we are talking about complaining today. there is a list of companies who do best in terms of customer satisfaction. ryanaircame terms of customer satisfaction. ryanair came out worse. some supermarkets did well. we asked your thoughts on how to go about complaining. they vary quite a bit. julie says, always smile when complaining the stop when writing, have a sense of humour, tell exactly what outcome you want from them. that is good complaining. brian said sarcasm works best. not sure i agree with you, brian! donna said make your point and finish in a positive, unless the whole thing was a disaster. denise says, be polite at all times. remember, it's not necessarily the fault of the person you are speaking to. good point. after explaining and
8:20 am
asserting the complaint, ask how can you make me feel a happy customer? simon says, this is a good point, remember the person you are complaining to is not a robot. when people get angry they have a habit of dehumanising the person serving them and taking it out on them. yes, don't make anyone feel bad! mss, fact, feeling, demand! the concise way to complain. precise is good. get in touch if you want. it is 8:20am. if you haven't had your local paper yet or your regular paper delivered, here's a look at some of the front pages. of the front pages lead with boris johnson's meeting with the french president emmanuel macron. the telegraph has this striking
8:21 am
image of mrjohnson with his foot on a table at the elysee palace, and claims he's told ministers they must come up with an alternative to the irish backstop. that meeting also in the i. "johnson encounters french resistance," is the i front page. it also reports that downing street is seeking an alternative plan for the irish border. the other story dominating the front pages is this one on the mirror. it's the news that the duke and duchess of cambridge took a £73—a—head budget flybe flight from norwich to aberdeen. it says the trip was in "stark contrast" to prince harry and meghan, who reportedly took four private jetjourneys in 11 days. the sun leads with the same story, with the headline: "wills gives harry flying lesson!" the paper quotes a fellow passenger as saying: "there was little fuss. they were like a normal family." you know what people complain about with me here? the mess. they say it is always messy over this side. it is! today... you are not too bad! you spread. it's because its work,
8:22 am
there is work going on here. 8:21am is the time. this weekend marks one year until the start of the 2020 paralympic games in tokyo. more than 4,000 athletes will be heading to the city over the next 12 months, but how accessible is it? 0ur disability correspondent, nikki fox, has been to tokyo to find out. in a year's time, this city will be hosting the paralympic games, so not only will we see 4,000—odd athletes arriving with all kinds of disabilities, there'll also be disabled media, spectators. josh! josh has lived here for 12 years. he's now a japanese citizen and runs the website accessible japan, so who better to give me a tour? watashiwa nikki desu. 0h, hajimemashite, josh. irasshaimase. i've lost you now. it's really busy, isn't it?
8:23 am
it can be, especially during rush hour but if you avoid those peak times, it's still pretty easy to get around. i've always wanted to try this crossing. this is the famous crossing, isn't it? yes, this is the shibuya scramble. josh, we're going to die. come on, josh. i did wonder whether i'd survive the crossing. i don't think i'm ever seen a street this busy in my entire life. i'm going to follow you! so, there's steps there. if would be good if you had a ramp. but there is no ramp at all, there is just a step to get in. is there anything you think i will have a problem with when i'm here? yes, there's a couple of issues, i think. definitely hotels is one of the big ones. right now, there are only about 0.4% of the hotel rooms in japan are accessible. restaurants, traditionally a lot of restaurants will have a step into them. it sort of divides the house from the outside area, and it's sort of an important cultural part of japan,
8:24 am
but it's a big barrier for people with disabilities. yeah. so, what's it like getting around? is it generally 0k? i generally only use public transportation and buses and subways are over 90% accessible. so, we've arrived at the station. 0h, is that station? 0k. is that the lift you would use? yeah. you just tell them where you want to go and they will put a slope down for you and when you get to your destination, there's someone waiting for you. if it was like that in london, i wouldn't drive everywhere. where are we going now? i am absolutely starving, but we can't find anywhere to actually go. 0k, we're not going to have a sandwich there. there is starbucks but we can't get into starbucks either because there is a step. 0n the right—hand side, there is a department store. if in doubt, department store food. ok, on it. i sort of always wanted to live
8:25 am
injapan and come tojapan. i think with paralympics coming, it's a great opportunity for tokyo to learn about accessibility ideas and ways of doing things from other areas in the world, where people are coming with a variety of disabilities so it will be a good opportunity for tokyo to expand. but you must absolutely love it here. 0h, forsure, yeah. really interesting there. a year's time it will be under way. 8:20am is the time. ben is out and about today ata the time. ben is out and about today at a future farm, the cross between at a future farm, the cross between a nightclub and an apocalyptic type building. 0ne a nightclub and an apocalyptic type building. one of those moments when you don't know what is going on beneath you. if you live in clapham, 33 metres below, this is what it looks like. ben is there.
8:26 am
please, explain. what sort of does naga go to that like this? a long time ago! good morning, welcome to clapham. we are 33 metres below the pavement. the tube line is just next door. this itself is a disused air raid shelter from the second world war that they have turned it into a vertical farm, that they have turned it into a verticalfarm, using all that they have turned it into a vertical farm, using all sorts of new technology, so the lighting clearly a nd new technology, so the lighting clearly and the irrigator. a form of hydroponics. there is no soil, just water full of nutrients, growing all sorts of salad vegetables. rocket, garlic, chives, some basil, pea shoots. they sell it all over the country but especially to restau ra nts country but especially to restaurants in this area. it could be one of the answers to the food crisis. we know fans are getting smaller, it's getting more difficult to grow stuff. this stuff can grow all year round, they don't need
8:27 am
pesticides, it's a contained environment. so a pretty neat solution but is it really the answer to all of ourfarming solution but is it really the answer to all of our farming problems question that we will talk about that a little later but before that, the news, weather and travel where you are watching breakfast. hi, there, good morning. you've probably heard already that it's going to become much warmer over the bank holiday weekend. for many of us today is going to be dry, high pressure establishing itself across the uk. we have still got this weather system, though, affecting the far north. that's bringing us some rain in north—western scotland this morning but it will continue to push northward and into the northern isles during this afternoon. even here, eventually cleared by this evening. plenty of dry weather, then, and some sunshine, especially in the north—east of scotland and increasingly
8:28 am
across england and wales. lots of sunshine developing. maximum temperatures higher than yesterday. into the 20s for many of us. up to 27 celsius in the south—east of england. through tonight, that rain clears away from the far north of scotland. still some cloud and a few showers around western areas of scotland and the west of northern ireland into saturday morning. elsewhere, though, there will be some clear skies but it's not going to be a chilly night, temperatures staying in double figures. and then into the weekend, it's this south—easterly wind that we are seeing bringing up some very warm air from the south through iberia, through france and pushing its way north across the uk, this area of high pressure still there and that's keeping things settled. it's keeping these weather fronts at bay towards the north and north—west. still, on saturday, i think there could be some cloud, some showers affecting western scotland and northern ireland. for most of us, though, sparkling sunshine. not a cloud in the sky across many parts of the uk on saturday, and it's going to be even warmer. temperatures widely into the mid 20s, high 20s for england and wales. 30, may be 31 celsius in the south—east of england. this is now sunday.
8:29 am
you can see, not a great deal of change, lots of sunshine again, the more cloud towards western parts, but it should be dry here at least on sunday. heat again on sunday, 30, 30 one celsius in the south—east. again, widely those temperatures getting up into their mid—20s. very similar conditions again for monday. bye— bye.
