8:02 am
after an alarming rise in violence against the police. in an unprecedented move, the national police chiefs‘ council has called the crisis summit after pc andrew harper was killed during a spate of attacks on officers. richard lister reports. a policeman‘s whistle marked the start of a minute's silence for pc andrew harper, murdered in the line of duty. around the country, police forces paused to reflect on a colleague lost. pc harper was the first policeman attacked and killed in the uk since 2017. but assaults on officers are on the rise. the latest figures show that in the year to march there were almost 31,000 attacks on police officers. that is up almost a fifth from the year before, with at least 28 attacks on officers everyday. martin hewitt, the chair of the national police chief's council said he will convene a meeting
8:03 am
of chief constables next month, to see if there is anything where they can do to improve police safety. writing in the daily express he said, if we cannot protect our people, how can we protect public? adding that we must never reach a point where it is acceptable for officers to be violently abused, attacked, injured or worse. in pc harper's hometown these ribbons acknowledge the thin blue line, working to keep us safe. but his death underlines the urgency to ensure police officers are kept safe, too. we'll be joined by the vice chair of the national police chiefs‘ council shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. boris johnson will tell world leaders gathering at the g7 summit in france, that britain will not retreat from the international community as it leaves the european union. before departing for the meeting, mrjohnson warned his brexit critics they were "gravely mistaken" if they thought the uk was set to lose its place on the world stage.
8:04 am
from biarritz, we're joined by our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. what can we expect? these summits are supposed to be about nations coming together to agree collective action, whether it is on climate change such as the buyers in brazil oi’ change such as the buyers in brazil or on global trade, or crisis like tensions in iran at the moment. yet, this weekend here in france the expectation of unity on these issues is pretty low. we see the survivors basel leaders arriving here today just after donald trump and the chinese have stepped up their trade war, we know that president trump and climate change has a very different view to many of the leaders he will be here and the need to clash action. and in specific like iran, you know, there are very large differences between the united
8:05 am
states and europe over how that should be tackled. this is the sort of melting pot of diplomacy that borisjohnson will of melting pot of diplomacy that boris johnson will arrive of melting pot of diplomacy that borisjohnson will arrive in an difficulty the prime minster on his birthday be on the international stage is how he balances that between appealing to donald trump over trade, at the same time not diverging to farfrom over trade, at the same time not diverging to far from the european. soi diverging to far from the european. so i checked the path for the new payments are to follow here. james, thank you very much. london north eastern railway has issued passengers with a "do not travel warning" for today and tomorrow, as more than 400 engineering works are being carried out across britain during the bank holiday. 0ur reporter michael cowan is outside london kings cross station which is closed this weekend. michael, what does this mean for passengers? absolutely closed, you can see behind me the 18 boards that usually despite numerous destinations across the country, old insider no trains
8:06 am
today and tomorrow. it is notjust out of king's cross, it is also out of london euston, the west coast mainline has delight lace other they will still be operating. the london to peterborough where it for the first time in 20 years will not run today. similarly, from peterborough today. similarly, from peterborough to cambridge there will be in a writ. the advice is to check before you travel. there are lots of events on this began to that people need to get to. you have got the edinburgh binge vessel, you have manchester pride, lots of events that people wa nt to pride, lots of events that people want to get to. they want to take to the roads, but there are major roadworks across the country, as above. so, check before you travel. 90% of the roads will be clear. —— 9796 90% of the roads will be clear. —— 97% of the roads will be clear. thank you very much. why are they making announcements on the station but nobody in it? borisjohnson‘s warning that migrants would be sent back if they crossed the english channel
8:07 am
to the uk have been branded as "inflammatory" and "misleading" by campaigners. the prime minister's comments came after a surge in attempts — with nearly 100 people in one day taking to small boats to try to make the crossing from france. the home secretary, priti patel, is to seek talks with her french counterpart to address the issue. bury football club will find out today if it can still compete in the football league, after a last minute deal to buy the club was agreed overnight. the efl had given the club until midnight to show it could afford to continue or be kicked out of the football league. with us now is bbc radio manchester sports reporter, mike minay, who's been following the story. what is the latest? i bet you have not had much sleep. it is an exciting time for bury fans. when i spoke to them yesterday they were buried there but that was it. the man in the ticket office pulls me he close the doors at five o'clock and stared at the ground for an hour so thinking that was the last to busy
8:08 am
at the club. late last night i received a text to say the club had been sold, so now we wait this morning for an announcement. they have acknowledged the bed in a statement at midnight, but now they have to suggest whether they will delay the suspension of the football la ke delay the suspension of the football lake which had been living over bury for the last two weeks. if it is suspended, that will give them time to work on the sale. keep our fingers crossed. what do we know about the people who are proposing to buy it? the people proposing to buy it are a company called c and end sport rescue, a sports analytic company. headed by two men, henry and rory. they did say any very short statement last night, it is a very complicated scenario and they are aware of the financial risks that come with bury football club. we are more than aware of the levels of debt, but they did say that bury
8:09 am
ought to have a viable, long—term future. he is a big bury fan and will be aware of the importance of small football clubs to the community, town and economy. they recognise that, i am sure they will be perfectly good owners for bury. hopefully little light at the end of the tunnel. statement is due we were told mid morning at around 9115 is one that will happen, fingers crossed. medical leaders have called for an urgent meeting with the government to discuss continued shortages of hormone replacement therapy. hundreds of thousands of women going through the menopause in the uk, are struggling to access hrt tablets, patches or gels. many have suffered side effects because they can't obtain hrt products at pharmacies. our health editor hugh pym reports.
8:10 am
thanks to hrt karen, who lives in somerset, felt able to cope with the symptoms of the menopause. the symptoms got worse and worse. by that stage i was literally feeling hot and feverish, you get, sort of, a generalfeeling of being unwell at that point. like many others, karen feels frustrated at the lack of information about the supply shortages, given the impact they are having on patients and their families. that is what leaders in the medical profession want to find out. as they call on the government to do more to get answers from drug companies. what we have got to do is try and work together as professionals with the dhsc and get these companies to be accountable. give us an explanation, firstly, of what the problem is and most importantly of the timelines before they will be resolved. the manufacturer of one product range and supply problems will continue until the middle of next year. alternative treatments
8:11 am
are available, but demand for these is increased because of shortages elsewhere. the department of health says it is working with all suppliers to maintain the overall flow of medicines to patients. karen has now been put on a new form of hrt, but she is not convinced yet that it is effective and she is frustrated that a problem affecting so many women is far from resolved. it is 11 minutes past eight. there has been a fresh wave of attempts by migrants to cross the english channel from france to the uk in small boats, with almost 130 adults and children picked up in the last 48 hours. the home office says attempting such crossings comes with "huge risks". we'rejoined now from dover by former head of the uk border force, tony smith. very good morning. first off, what to make of borisjohnson‘s comments about migrants trying to cross the
8:12 am
channel being sent back. comments that have been described as inflammatory and misleading by campaigners. well, returns has to be pa rt campaigners. well, returns has to be part of the strategy, because the problem we have seen over the past year is increasing numbers, as your report shows, of wreckage migration on the split. that is not been a case in the past, damian method has been concealment and noise. but we are announcing an incident every two to three hours here. we are recommending french to try and stop the smugglers, but it is not working. they are being —— if they are being allowed to stay, then i'm afraid the message being sent back would be of a supply chant. i suspect that is the reasoning behind
8:13 am
his comments. but at the moment, as the law stands, we are talking about international law, they cannot be sent back because i have a right to claim asylum. well, there are things called safe third country agreement around the world, you know, under the 51 convention the norm with be that if your fleeing persecution you would claim asylum in the first safe country you come to. pretty clear that people that are arriving here have been through a number of countries before they came here. the question is whether they have claimed asylum along the route and whether the conventions might or might not apply the that would mean it would prevent asylum shopping and make sure that one jurisdiction, ie france or another country under it, we deal with the process rather than us. we deal with the process rather than us. you're right though, it is international law and it is hugely complicated. 0ther these cases are hugely contentious and that is one of the reasons why they are
8:14 am
difficult to return, notjust here but in other countries and borders around world. this is not a new problem, we see a spike every year in the number of people trying to ci’oss in the number of people trying to cross over in the number of people trying to cross over to the uk. 0bviously because of the good weather, or the milder weather during summer months. what can the border force be doing, how effective are they are tackling theissue how effective are they are tackling the issue at the moment? yes, this is really serious. i am glad you are running this because we had a journey last week and it was rarely reported people will drown, these are treacherous waters whatever the state of the weather, very busy shipping lanes. these smugglers have no regard to human life, so our first priority must be safety and security, we must not lose lives. the border force are aware of that asa the border force are aware of that as a french place and are working to save lives. but as part of that process we do need to deter the smugglers and put them out of business. i'm not sure of the moment we are winning that battle. we do need to look at more resources,
8:15 am
betterjoint working, maritime defences, potentially even a broader push all in this country responsible for the perimeter security, like they have in states. because the border force is also responsible for a lot of other things and they are very stretch at the moment. priti patel says she is preparing to meet her bench can trip out to deal with theissue, her bench can trip out to deal with the issue, how confident are you about that? —— to meet her bench counterpart. i am confident the secretary will be doing all she can to agree framework with her counterpart in france to take out the smuggling gangs and cooperate on preventing international criminality, because that is basically what this is all about. there is a good deal of goodwill going on right now, but both sides need to agree a framework of introduction, intelligence sharing except which would involve also greater use of technology and surveillance on the stretch of
8:16 am
waterway and on either side, to put the smugglers out of business. i am really hoping she comes back with an agreement and a new commitment for us agreement and a new commitment for us to continue to work with our pa rents us to continue to work with our parents and fans to put the smugglers out of business. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. let us take a look at the weather. it is hazy in places, this is a recent view from one of our weather watchers in west yorkshire this morning. bit of high cloud and trials showing up, as well. not necessarily completely blue sky, but a lot of sunshine on the way this weekend. lifting temperatures to very wobbly high in some places. dragging in the warm air from very wobbly high in some places. dragging in the warm airfrom the continent, around this area of high pressure. but we have low pressure close by, that is white not
8:17 am
everybody is waking up to the sunshine this morning. because across parts of scotland and northern ireland, where you are closer to the low pressure, you have got mcleod around. some of us have had a few showers so far today the dot not everyone. the chance of showers goes on as the day continues, across western parts of northern ireland and the central belt in scotland and east of northern ireland getting some sunshine. any early mist or fog patches and clearing now. the temperatures, held down a bit in the cloud and the chance of a shower. it is really into the 20s for most of us. high 20s across a large part of england and low 30s towards the south—east of england. there is definitely some heat out there. an indication of some of the sky conditions we can expect today as the ashes test match continues. for how much longer? as we go into this evening and tonight, a lovely end to the day. still a few showers in
8:18 am
northern scotland overnight and some cloud developing across western areas here. wales in the south—west, for example, where you have not necessarily had to much during the day there may be one arty mist and fog patches. little bit more humid, it were midnight to come, as well. some cloud floating around western backed the uk, so it will be quite hazy in places. but the showers in northern scotland have mostly gone. it looks like it will be the hottest day of the weekend, 27 in glasgow and 31 or32 day of the weekend, 27 in glasgow and 31 or 32 toward south—east england. but it is going to be very pleasant, but will feel quite hot by you had that sunshine, as most of us well. where it is a bank holiday, england, wales and northern ireland. some uncertainty about cloud amounts and chance of showers on the bank holiday at the moment we are favouring the idea that it will be mainly dry. still a lot of sunshine around and still some heat, too. still some of us be up to almost 30
8:19 am
degrees. it looks like next week, though, damages come down on the chance of rain does go up. around a million women in the uk use hormone replacement therapy to relieve the symptoms of the menopause. the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists say it is receiving multiple queries every day, from women unable to access hrt products, due to a supply shortage. 0ne manufacturer has confirmed to the bbc that its stock will not be replenished until the middle of next year. we're joined now by dr asha kasliwa, a consultant in community gynaecology. thank you forjoining us. just how serious a problem is this? it is increasingly becoming a major problem for women. started towards the end of last year, but i think it isjust getting worse. every the end of last year, but i think it is just getting worse. every week the end of last year, but i think it isjust getting worse. every week in my clinic, in my menopause clinic, i women who have been quite well
8:20 am
settled on hrt, hormone replacement therapy, of their choice and they are leading really comfortable lives, and now they cannot get the hrt that they want and they are getting distressed and frustrated. what happens is i tried to find a similar preparation, the same oestrogen and progesterone as they are on and i write a new prescription for them. they go to the pharmacist, i get a call—back from the pharmacist saying sorry, we do not have this one. i had never spoken to pharmacists as much as i have currently. and then, we try to find another one and that isjust so frustrating, wasting time. meanwhile, women then do not get the hrt they want, they sometimes face really distressing symptoms and then excite affecting their social life, work life, their relationships. so, it isa work life, their relationships. so, it is a problem. so, there is a problem of supply. is there also, is
8:21 am
pa rt problem of supply. is there also, is part of this, i do not know, the fa ct part of this, i do not know, the fact that more women have been described hrt, so the demand is also higher than it was years ago?|j think higher than it was years ago?” think that cannot fully explain the problem, though. iagree think that cannot fully explain the problem, though. i agree the demand is rising, but i do not think that is rising, but i do not think that is the whole explanation. when we are told that they are supply issues, manufacturing issues, it is ha rd issues, manufacturing issues, it is hard to know what exactly that means. because everything cannot be explained just by the increased amount. can youjust explained just by the increased amount. can you just switch to a different product instead? amount. can you just switch to a different product instead ?m amount. can you just switch to a different product instead? it is not impossible to do, there are so much a very similarand impossible to do, there are so much a very similar and women might find it possible to use, there are also other options. mike, by example, using an intrauterine system, the coil... have the issues in separately. so there are options available and we need to explore those options. but sometimes, you know, they are so well settled on
8:22 am
something, they find it difficult to move on. two things here, when are you anticipating drugs of faisalabad to normal? and what is your advice to normal? and what is your advice to women at the moment? right, not anytime soon is what we're being told. that is the really sad thing. but our advice to women is, you know, speak to your gp or your menopause specials, whoever is prescribing you. speak to the pharmacist, find out what is available. the british menopause society is putting out a guidance about which products are available and clinicians to use that website quite a lot. i do not know whether there are sometimes even a geographical or local problem of supply, geographical or local problem of supply, as well. because we left at that and still sometimes they cannot get those. the department of health, just the people are aware, had said that they are working closely with all suppliers, this is what they say, to maintain the overall flow of
8:23 am
medicines to patients. supply of alternative hrt medicines are available and we have just discussed that. they say any patient affected to discuss the alternatives with their doctors, just as she had said. but i think it is important that we work collaboratively, you know, but the government and with the manufacturers to really get to the bottom of what is this supply issue? i tried to find solutions. but also, i think it is important to put in place policies that such a thing does not happen again, that's the plan for these things in future. of course, thank you to much for joining us this morning. broadcasterjanice long is here to tell us what's caught her eye. let us have a quick look at the daily express festival. this is a shocking story. thousands of pupils
8:24 am
caught in skill armed with knives, including a boy of four.” caught in skill armed with knives, including a boy of four. i know, i know. it is over thousand. boy—year—olds was cut and it is not just knives, machetes, hunting knives, samurai swords. they are doing their utmost, obviously, to prevent this. the government are going to put in over £220 million into intervention, but there is a bloke who has a charity called changing lives, trying to encourage young lads and girls not to get involved in all of this. even he had a problem with a sexual old who came after the start with a knife, saying iam going after the start with a knife, saying i am going to study. they can be quite inventive as well, because there is one with a highlighting pen and he change the nib. an 11—year—old? so, and he change the nib. an 11—year—old ? so, it and he change the nib. an 11—year—old? so, it is a priority, weather a not science the right way to deal with the issue is another
8:25 am
story. it is awful and the ages. i'm m, story. it is awful and the ages. i'm in, it is awful anyway, but when you say boy—year—olds and a six—year—old. say boy—year—olds and a six-year-old. 0k, say boy—year—olds and a six-year-old. ok, the next one. women and not the farmer's lies anymore, now they are the farmers. it is not all about tractors and heavy machinery these days, because you could, women are getting really excited about farming. because there is scientific research that they can do, it can involve drones, it is not left in. but then some women like doing all the lifting, but there are things available to help you with all of that. of course, historically, the farm would be left to the sun. but now, we are saying no, ican to the sun. but now, we are saying no, i can do this, i want to do it andi no, i can do this, i want to do it and ijust no, i can do this, i want to do it and i just take no, i can do this, i want to do it and ijust take it is fantastic, you know, that wasting more and more
8:26 am
women. men are still the majority, but more and more women coming into ta ke but more and more women coming into take it over. it is a hard life. i had friends who have a farm and it is always lovely to go and visit, but, you know, it is great and you think i would love to do this for a job, but they do have to work hard. i know, total respect for but is changing, perception is changing, which is great. in the weekend ft is something, i would which is great. in the weekend ft is something, iwould not which is great. in the weekend ft is something, i would not struggle with this, but i'm sure people day. there isa campaign this, but i'm sure people day. there is a campaign to abstain from buying new close bought 30 days. you can tell i would not struggle.” new close bought 30 days. you can tell i would not struggle. i think it isa tell i would not struggle. i think it is a wonderful idea. it is 0xfam who are organising it all. in a bid to raise environmental awareness, because people, disposable fashion, i cannot get over that. people are buying things, they were at once and
8:27 am
then never bite again. they have to go get some thing new and that is wrong, ethically. but also with the rise of social media, people cannot buy the same outfit. what i find interesting, it is a great article, great idea. they tell you the best vintage shops, they're all in london or abroad, they have not bothered to go anywhere else in the country and there are some magnificent ones in manchester or liverpool or bristol. 0k, manchester or liverpool or bristol. ok, i think i could do that, no clones for 30 days. no new close. that is a different story. shall they have a quick look at guardian? the scottish on driving test pass rates. in fact, all that the stories are in all of the papers today for there is very little, it is august.
8:28 am
this gentleman is the local driving instructor and the pass rate there is 85%, which is much higher than urban areas. birmingham is the lowest, actually. 0f urban areas. birmingham is the lowest, actually. of course, people get very excited and think i could nip up there, there is no roundabouts, know this and that and i will pass the test. and he is i teach people to drive properly and thatis teach people to drive properly and that is why they pass. it is not because they have today reversing around a corner. so, less obstacles in the way, it is fuelling a debate. i think the driving test these days isa i think the driving test these days is a great bit more difficult than it was. back any day it would open the highway code, what does that mean? what does that mean? right, you have passed. do we have time for one last one? yes, that's one over here. the teacher he wants to ditch pen and paper. yes, he says kids do

is the highest scoring fixture in the premier league, it is not a nailed on for a 0—0. the premier league, it is not a nailed on for a 0-0. it will be a big test to see where this arsenal tea m big test to see where this arsenal team or after winning their first two games. dan walker always comes on with the flamboyant shirt on a saturday. i like this! thank you. now to the cricket. where do we start? england‘s hopes of regaining the ashes look all but over after a disastrous second day of the third test — england bowled out for 67. perhaps counting the cost of the attacking style of cricket played in one day matches, which is very different to what‘s required in test cricket. josh hazlewood taking five wickets in what was england‘s lowest score against australia in 71 years. there was hope — england reduced australia to 52—3 — only for marnus labuschagne, the man who replaced steve smith, to make an unbeaten 53.
8:40 am
australia with a lead of 283. i spoke to ebony rainford brent, who told me why it‘s difficult for batsmen, many of whom who played in the world cup, find it difficult to switch between formats. if you are honest, getting in the nets, one minute trying to smash the ball for 620 47, your defence cuts out the window sometimes. jonny ba i rstow is out the window sometimes. jonny bairstow is an example. he has often open up his stance and exposed playing loose shots, but that is because he has been practising for the white ball format. in the old days, we used to have more of the old—fashioned alistair cooke style batter, maybe rory burns and that england side is the only one could possibly replicate that patients and attritional mindset of where the batter is down. it is hard to flip between the two for the english players. they are chasing the ball.
8:41 am
until we get the order right. jason roy for example is a fabulous player, but a number one helix exposed. focus is needed. focus is needed to develop the mindset, more time needs to be applied to get the batsmen switched on. time needs to be applied to get the batsmen switched on. not quite a cricket score for england‘s hockey team, but a huge defeat, losing 8—0 to netherlands in the semi—finals of the euro hockey championships. goalkeeper maddie hinch calling it the lowest point of her career. they were blown away by the world champions. the result means great britain miss out on automatic qualification for the tokyo 2020 olympics. they are the holders, remember. they will play a two—legged qualifier at home in november. win that and they‘ll qualify for the games. today we had to learn from the belarus game where we were getting it wrong, we were punished by them let alone the dutch, so unless we stepped up on that one on one battle
8:42 am
today would be of the fight. we were nowhere near today. we were given them a shot after shot completely u nco ntested. them a shot after shot completely uncontested. we didn‘t even create an opportunity for herself. so, yeah, a lot of work to do. so, yeah, a lot of work to do. the dutch will take on germany after they beat spain, thanks to a short corner in the very last minute. that mean that england will face the spanish in the bronze medal match. rory mcilroy is just one shot off the lead after the second round at the tour championship in atlanta. it‘s golf‘s most lucrative tournament, with the winner taking home £12 million. american brooks koepka is currently leading on 13—under par overall. there‘s a huge day ahead at wembley. rugby league‘s challenge cup final between st helens and warrington will be staged there this afternoon. saints have had a great season, 16 points clear at the top of the super league, but it is 11 years since they last lifted the challenge cup. despite final appearances in 2016 and again two years later,
8:43 am
warrington have‘t won it since 2012. the game is live on the bbc. we‘ll be looking ahead to the match a little bit later on in the programme. 0ur rugnby league correspondent dave woods is there. st helens will be favourites? they will be. so many interesting subplots to the game. some nasty injuries as well. thank you, john. bury football club has a proud 134—year history — in may the shakers won promotion into league one, but the club is in financial turmoil and is yet to play a fixture at gigg lane this season. last night, bury faced expulsion from the english football league, but a deal to sell the club could be an 11th hour saviour. we‘re joined now by bury fan james bentley.
8:44 am
i saw you last night at about 11:30pm and you look action based.” am cautiously optimistic about what happened late last night. last night, though, i felt happened late last night. last night, though, ifelt absolutely dreadful, i must admit. this is something i try to stay not very eloquently earlier. why should anyone care? barry is so much part of the community. why should anybody else care? it is a broader tale for football and that fans have to be more aware of what is happening behind the scene that their clubs. some clubs are exceptionally well run. 0thers some clubs are exceptionally well run. others are at the mercy of
8:45 am
those who don‘t often have the club‘s best interests at heart. if this was to show anything, it is for fa ns to this was to show anything, it is for fans to scrutinise their clubs more. there was this fear of being kicked out at midnight. what is it been like for you over the last few months. how long has barry been in financial difficulty? this all came out in april this year, when we found that the players weren‘t being paid. we got promotion with some incredible football. this summer has been exhausting. terrifying. every adjective you could think of that is negative is what it has been like to bea negative is what it has been like to be a berry found this summer. the supporters society, the mp has done
8:46 am
phenomenal work, thanks to them, we are ina phenomenal work, thanks to them, we are in a position where hopefully we can move forward. why is it so important to you? it is the community. it is the family that i have been welcomed into. some of the pts that north—west tonight ran last night, i was in tears. that is the point i was trying to make about why other people should care. the football clu b other people should care. the football club in the community in that town are still interlinked, as they are in many other places. if they are in many other places. if the football club was to go it would bea the football club was to go it would be a devastating blow. other ownerships have taken more than they‘ve given. services were being paid for two local tradespeople, for
8:47 am
example. you want your club, this thing that mean so much to you, you wa nted thing that mean so much to you, you wanted to be a beacon in the community, but i‘m afraid it hasn‘t been. county court judgments community, but i‘m afraid it hasn‘t been. county courtjudgments have been. county courtjudgments have been taken out and people have had to fight for money they were owed. that is not what i want from my club. i want my club to be a focal point. i wanted to mean as much to other people as it does to me. what do you think needs to happen to safeguard the future of the club, and other clubs? if the english football league extends this deadline to us today, i would hope that the new owners are aware that they will be scrutinised. we have had ourfingers burnt twice before and it has been a very stressful few weeks. we are only doing it because weeks. we are only doing it because we ca re weeks. we are only doing it because we care for the club. it is often said that german are only the custodians of the club for the supporters and i think that is very
8:48 am
true. that thing that got you promoted is gone, the manager has gone, the players have gone. a lot of other clubs have offered to loan players. if you can get this done and start playing matches this season, you could have a pretty good team! it will be a siege mentality this season. it is not even the back foot that we are starting on, we are so far behind. i don‘t know who your first choice goalkeeper is, to be so far into the season and not know that, is quite disturbing. but i still have a club to watch. if we get relegated this season, we can rebuild. rory campbell, his dad understands the importance of football clu bs understands the importance of football clubs in the community, and i hope that this will be the start
8:49 am
ofa i hope that this will be the start of a long—term viable future for the club. james, thank you for coming here‘s nick with a look at this morning‘s weather. 0ursummer 0ur summer weather is having a last—minute rescue, as well. it has been pretty awful for us last—minute rescue, as well. it has been pretty awfulfor us in last—minute rescue, as well. it has been pretty awful for us in august so far. this is what it looked like in west yorkshire earlier this morning. this is the headline for this weekend, a lot of sun trying to come. even where you‘re cloudy at the moment, there will be some sun chang commentary and temperatures are on the way up. the warmth is heading our way. the flow of air is coming in from the south, southeast. that is one hour coming our way, but low pressure is still close by, as are some weather fronts. that is why in scotland there is a lot of cloud around to start the day. some of us
8:50 am
have had some showers. through the day, the shower potential stays with us in the north and west. elsewhere in scotland, more sunshine will come through, as in northern ireland, especially if you are to the east. some cloud will arrive in the aisles of silly later, and corn will live through this evening. meetings across northern scotland, but for most of us the low to mid 20s. that is 31 degrees in south—east england. plenty of dry, sunny weather to come at headingley. it will be a hot one at headingley. it will be a hot one at wembley for the challenge cup final. in tonight, temperature staying up more than they did last night. the showers are easing away from northern scotland. some cloud and western parts, some mist and fog patches here and there. this is how
8:51 am
tomorrow is looking. it will be quite hazy. wheels, south—west england, northern ireland will have cloud, but it is looking dry. a lot of sunshine to come. it is a hotter day tomorrow, so we will add another degree or two into scotland, for example. 27 celsius in glasgow. looking ahead to the bank holiday, which it is apart from in scotland, some concern about the chance of the shower. that chance is decreasing now. a lot of sunshine to come, and very warm to hot for many of us, but temperatures in the north—west starting to cool down. it will turn next week. we‘ve all had that terrifying moment where you‘re getting ready to go on holiday and you think you‘ve lost your passport — but new technology could make remembering to carry your travel documents a thing of the past. instead, the passport would be saved
8:52 am
on your phone and detected by a biometric scanner at the uk border. our business reporter simon browning has been to try it out. sunshine, holidays, city breaks. we all love our trips away. and it‘s the time of year when flights are full, airports are bursting, and there can be lots of waiting around. now, we all know what it‘s like to arrive on holiday at your destination, to arrive in the passport hall and be greeted by queues to get your passport scanned. they‘re a nightmare — 30 minutes, an hour. well, new technology means that could be the thing of the past when our passports go onto our phones. this kiosk is called protect. it‘s the start of a contactless id system designed by a group of companies and academics to speed up our transition across borders. after downloading an app to your phone, you register your passport with itjust once. now it‘s going to ask you just to look into the camera and this is just simply to make a match between the passport photo and your live image. so your identity has been now verified, so that‘s been — the link has been established. in a moment, this will be
8:53 am
confirmed on the screen. this has now been done. and your mobile phone now says you‘ve been enrolled. 140 million passengers arrived at the uk border in 2017 and that is expected to double by 2050. but airports cannot double in size, so they need to process us faster so we arrive and leave much quicker. the advantage of this is that passengers can choose to use it, and if they are low—risk and eligible — that‘s to say you can come through without too much examination — then they can go through and not stop — they can just keep walking. whereas the rest of the passengers who have to be seen can go to the normal control. the security of our data has never been under such scrutiny. the designers of protect insist safeguards are in place and information is encrypted. but other questions remain. what if your battery dies? what if you have bought the wrong smartphone? and can the biometric tunnel be fooled ? i‘m going to test whether the passport application works, but i‘m going to try and trick it
8:54 am
with this mask. the developers say the system is ready for implementation, and the home office says it continues to investigate the application of new and emerging technologies at uk borders. we‘rejust gonna see. i‘m hoping it did not recognise me. that‘s right. it is a big negative. none of us like to queue, even though we are so good at it. but are we ready to replace them with a hassle—free biometric future? simon browning, bbc news. the sun is shining this weekend and you may be thinking it is perfect weather for a bank holiday bbq. but have you ever wondered how eco—friendly your barbecue is? brea kfast‘s jayne mccubbin is in stonyhurst in lancashire with some tips on how to grill and be green. jayne.
8:55 am
come on, get with the message, roger. tina, when you asked that question, have you ever thought? i could hear people all over the country sang, no, i don‘t care. we are at the great british food festival. just gorgeous surroundings here. it is a private school dating back to the late 1700s. it is beautiful. we are trying here to try to find out how you can live your best barbecue life. our academic is here. barbecue ban is here, as well. good morning. we know that the number one thing you can do to have a positive impact on the environment is to eat less meat. but if you think barbecue, you think meets. so
8:56 am
this is the challenge, can you come up this is the challenge, can you come up with an alternative to a big dirty burger? yes, absolutely. it is doable. people interested in trying to get this message? definitely. people want options. they want to eat local. we have wonderful ingredients in this country. i will make upa ingredients in this country. i will make up a couple of delicacies that you will love. crack on. you and academics from manchester university have quantified the environmental impact ofa have quantified the environmental impact of a family barbecue so we can visualise it. tell us about that. the idea was to put it into terms that people could relate to. a typicalfamily terms that people could relate to. a typical family barbecue, so for people, each having two medium—sized beef burgers cooked on charcoal on a bread bun with your slice of tomato, bit of cheese, a bit of patter, maybe some stroppy for dessert. the
8:57 am
carbon dioxide equivalent of making that one meal equates to driving 80 miles. it is less to keep a check and less again if you go vegan. my less for chicken? a lot of the emissions that come from making a beef burger is partly due to the fa ct beef burger is partly due to the fact that cows burp methane. fabulous! this is something else you have looked into, these disposable barbecues. why is this bad? the charcoal from these is usually from an unsustainable source, so it could be from a hardwood in a developing country. the production proved —— process is unsustainable. also, the charcoal and it is usually covered in the petrochemical so it will light faster. all of those emissions are going into the atmosphere, but also going into your food, are going into the atmosphere, but also going into yourfood, which are going into the atmosphere, but also going into your food, which we don‘t want.
8:58 am
also going into your food, which we don't want. goldsmith university has banned burgers because of this. hackney council has banned these parts. people are acting on this information. wright, ben, how are we getting on? this is a fantastic easy dish, watermelon pizza. fresh watermelon, put it on the barbecue, make up some pickle with some freshly chopped red onion, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, sea salt. combine them. pop them onto the watermelon. then some loupe tool cheese. you can use vegetarian or vegan cheese. then some freshly chopped basil and that will cook in about ten minutes, just until the cheese melts. here is one i prepared earlier. have a taste of that. the golden rule of live television is never eat anything. it is really
