good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: speeding up security checks — all uk airports will have to introduce sd luggage scanners by 2022, with heathrow getting them first. borisjohnson will have his first face—to—face meeting with donald trump since becoming prime minister at the g7 summit in france. and coming up in the sport, england fight back to keep their ashes hopes alive in the third test at headingley. good morning. in weather, it is a stunning sunday on the way, and for

many of us it will be even hotter thanit many of us it will be even hotter than it was yesterday. how long will it last? i have the forecast for today and a few days beyond. join me later. it's sunday the 25th of august. our top story: 3d baggage scanners will be introduced at every airport in the uk by 2022, under government plans announced today. ministers say the technology will cut queues, boost security and could end the restrictions on travelling with liquids and laptops. our business correspondent, katy austin, reports. afamiliar a familiar site to air travellers — clear plastic bags to put your small liquids in while you go through airport security. laptops must be put ina airport security. laptops must be put in a separate trade. airports in some countries, particularly america, are already starting to use new, high—tech scanners for hand luggage. heathrow in london is investing £50 million in similar equipment, saying it could remove the needs for liquids and

electricals to be taken out. it will be much quicker, less disruptive, not having to take things out of bags, and people will be able to get on their way much more quickly. but it will also bring more security, which is really important. now, all uk airports are saying they must have advanced 3d scanners by 2022. it is important we are using the best technology, we will have the best technology, we will have the best in the world once this is rolled out. one travel experts as passengers will notice a difference. imagine this: you are at security, you have forgotten to take out all your stuff, so that means your bag full of liquids, then you have your computer, and maybe a telephone. you have to take it all out and put each one and a separate tray. all of that ta kes one and a separate tray. all of that takes time. even though we say to ourselves, i'm ready, by the time we get the security most of us realise that we are not ready and there is a lot of faffing that takes place at. heathrow believes the new technology

could make going through security up to 60 times faster. but introducing it could be a challenge for smaller airports. we'll discuss that with someone from the airport 0perators association just after 8:00. borisjohnson will meet donald trump for the first time as prime minister later at the g7 summit of world leaders in france. he's warning the president that the us must compromise if it wants a trade deal with the uk, by lifting restrictions on british businesses. here's our chief political correspondent, vicki young. the us president makes no secret of his admiration for borisjohnson. the uk has the right person in charge, according to him. it will there be more than warm words when they discuss a possible trade deal? mr trump's opponents say he is so desperate to do business that he will shy away from any of the president's controversial policies. the pm said that he had already made

it clear that the us would have to compromise and remove significant barriers that currently prevent british businesses from selling some goods there. shower trays, wine, and pork pies were among those facing restrictions. any trade deal will ta ke yea rs restrictions. any trade deal will take years to finalise, and some say borisjohnson should be take years to finalise, and some say boris johnson should be focusing take years to finalise, and some say borisjohnson should be focusing on trade deals with those closer to home, the eu. the brazilian military has begun a major operation to tackle the fires in the amazon rainforest. aircraft loaded with water and firefighting chemicals have been dispatched to the northern state of rondonia, which is one of the worst affected regions. 0ur correspondent, will grant, was on board a greenpeace plane that flew over the area. from this vantage point you get a sense of the scale of the disaster facing this region of the amazon. hectare facing this region of the amazon. hecta re after facing this region of the amazon. hectare after hectare of pristine forest just hectare after hectare of pristine forestjust going up in smoke. there

must be thousands of hectares already, and it is a huge task for the troops who are supposedly reaching this region, and who are going to try to tackle the problem, sent by president bolsonaro. this has also caused the international outcry. this is a global crisis, because these are considered the lungs of the world. and just on a human level, and an emotional level almost, it is extremely upsetting, extremely disturbing, to see this kind of devastation unfolding in front of you. that was will grant reporting. the head of the national body for police bosses is calling for harsher sentences for people who attack officers. katy bourne, who's the new chair of the association of police and crime commissioners, says anyone who hurts one should go to prison, "no ifs, no buts". it comes after the killing of pc

andrew harper last week. the british paralympic association says it has serious concerns about the number of accessible rooms available at next year's games in tokyo. this weekend marks a year to go until the opening ceremony. 0ur disability correspondent, nikki fox, joins us now. you've been in tokyo for the last week. is it ready for the 2020 games? iam here, i am here, and as far as preparations are going, they are pretty much running at two plan. it isa pretty much running at two plan. it is a bit noisy, so sorry if you can't hear me. it is a one year to go celebration on the site of the 1964 paralympic games. because tokyo is the only city to host the paralympics twice. back in 64, the

legacy was all about improving infrastructure. the 2020 games will be about improving attitudes and removing barriers that disabled people face here. local people are able to come here today, they are trying out pa ralympics able to come here today, they are trying out paralympics port for the first time, for some people, but you can't escape the fact that there are barriers. there is a lack of accessible hotel rooms, and we know that. we know the british paralympic association has struggled to find rooms. i went to see a very fancy hotel room that was accessible, and even that wasn't fully accessible for people in wheelchairs. 0n the positive, tickets are released on thursday and apparently they are selling at an unprecedented rate. so, events like these are working.

thousands of people took to the streets of manchester to watch the annual pride parade yesterday. celebrations are taking place all weekend with ariana grande headlining today's activities. it's herfirst time performing in the city since the concert to remember the victims of the arena attack in 2017. the world's oldest panda in captivity has turned 37. xin xing was treated to a birthday party and a cake made of her favourite foods at the chongqing zoo in south—west china. according to the zoo, xin xing, whose name means ‘new star', is about 110 years old in human years. and looking fantastic! everyone making a big fuss of her for her 37th birthday. lets have a quick look at the front

page of today's newspapers. lots on the front pages, looking ahead to boris johnson's lots on the front pages, looking ahead to borisjohnson‘s meeting with donald trump at the g7 later. a p pa re ntly with donald trump at the g7 later. apparently borisjohnson with donald trump at the g7 later. apparently boris johnson has with donald trump at the g7 later. apparently borisjohnson has already laid out the basis for a trade deal ina laid out the basis for a trade deal in a phone meeting. the sunday express said the trade deal is done and is ready to be signed. the observer has said that borisjohnson has signed. the observer has said that boris johnson has sought signed. the observer has said that borisjohnson has sought legal advice about shutting down parliament for five weeks as part of a strategy to stop the blocking of a no deal brexit. downing street has denied these claims. you can also see a photo of president trump greeting the us ambassador to france. away from politics, the sunday mirror leads with a story about prince harry paying tribute after the death of a dear friend. so we have a look inside some of the

papers? in the mail on sunday, ten cash points being scrapped every day. more than 5000 cash machines have been lost from towns and villages in the past 18 months alone. it has drawn attention to the fa ct alone. it has drawn attention to the fact that small businesses, the elderly, and some of the poorest, who need to work with cash, are being hit the most. 54% of customers in rural areas would struggle to access in rural areas would struggle to a ccess cas h in rural areas would struggle to access cash if they lost their nearest atm. do you know what i struggle with now, it is remembering my pen. —— pin. now, the cricket. ian botham is in the paper today, because apparently mullets a re the paper today, because apparently mullets are coming back. apparently

they are coming back into fashion, so good news for anyone who wants a perm. do you fancy at? no, i haven't got enough hair left. we will review the papers in detail later. a british man who's the mayor of a small german town is facing the sack because of brexit. ian mcnab is the mayor of brunsmark, home to just 170 residents, but he'll be out of a job once the uk leaves the bloc because he won't be an eu citizen anymore. he's been speaking to glenn campbell. ina quiet in a quiet corner of northern germany, there is a small community with a scotsman in charge. the saltire flies proudly at the home of ian mcnab, who will have to quit as mayor of brunsmark when the uk

leaves the eu. minute brexit occurs, that's me, that's end of my tenure. y? because i am no longer an eu citizen. no eu, no mayor. elected three times, ian oversees local services like the school, the play park and the fire brigade. 25 years in the fire brigade, so we are very lucky we have this excellent equipment. all the newest standards. viewed from brunsmark, ian thinks brexit is a bad move, and that staying in and driving reform would be far better for the uk. staying in and driving reform would be far betterfor the uk. but staying in and driving reform would be far better for the uk. but he staying in and driving reform would be far betterfor the uk. but he is not uncritical of the eu. be far betterfor the uk. but he is not uncritical of the eui be far betterfor the uk. but he is not uncritical of the eu. i think it has to be completely rethought. it has to be completely rethought. it

has to be much more an organisation which advises the rest, instead of imposing an amazing amount of rules and regulations. you could be mistaken for a brexiteer yourself. criticism is something that europe needs. any political body that is so immense needs a lot of criticism, but it can live with criticism or it should be able to live with criticism. but you can only criticise it from the inside. ian has come a long way from the highlands, where his parents ran the hotel and he won prizes for the garlic at the primary school. after 14 years in germany he is as attuned to the language and way of life here as he was in britain. he is concerned leaving the eu will reduce the rights of uk citizens here. leaving the eu means no longer automatically having the right to live and work in any eu country.

here in brunsmark, that means they can no longer have a man from scotla nd can no longer have a man from scotland as their burger meister. u nless scotland as their burger meister. unless he becomes a german national or claims dual citizenship. things he is simply not prepared to do. or claims dual citizenship. things he is simply not prepared to dolj have he is simply not prepared to do.” have been 70 years scottish and i will stay that way. he doesn't know whether he will stay here or move back to scotland. whatever he decides, it seems brexit will end his career as the elected mayor of a small town in germany. very interesting. we were talking about barbecues on the programme yesterday. you might have thought that the burger meister is the man in charge of the barbecue! here's nick with a look at this morning's weather. i had the barbecue out yesterday and

it will come out this weekend as it goes on, and it was a bank holiday as well because more sunshine is on the way. this is how it looked in cornwall yesterday. expecting another stunning day ahead today. the heat was on yesterday, near 31. but temperature was significant because it is the highest well has had in the late august bank holiday weekend, and if anything, temperatures for some of us will be higher today compared to yesterday. a day of sunshine, albeit quite hazy once again, but it is going to be feeling quite hot. 0vernight, some areas of cloud drifting in from the west. mostly high cloud, so that is why the sunshine will be quite hazy. not really crystal clear blue sky, but still hot in that sunshine. there will today be a bit more cloud towards cornwall, western counties of wales impaired yesterday, drifting towards the irish sea, the

coast of lancashire, much more widespread sunshine for northern ireland, across scotland and the bulk of england or wales will have blue sky that hazy high cloud around. temperature is worth a look at. elsewhere in scotland, upper 20s into the highlands, 28 in glasgow. a bit cooler through western parts of wales with a bit more cloud around but still upper 20s in east wales into england, high 20s, low 30s, 32 around the london area, that will be the highest the uk has recorded on the highest the uk has recorded on the late august bank holiday weekend. the heat is on. into tonight, we're going to see some areas of cloud particularly through the western side of the uk, increasingly low cloud, fog patches around in places as well, maybe a bit of drizzle, especially into western parts of and temperatures around the mid teens for many of us. the bank holiday for england, wales

and northern ireland, cloud through western parts, foggy in places. for many of us, a dry day with hazy sunshine. the chance of a future was moving towards cornwall as the day goes on, rain encroaching on the western isles as well. it will feel cooler into scotland and northern ireland whereas particularly throughout central and eastern parts of england we still have high temperatures. tuesday onwards into the week ahead, it all starts to change. the possibility of some showers, may be some thunderstorms running northwards particularly through parts of england as we go through parts of england as we go through tuesday, maybe even into eastern scotland and this weather front pushing into western scotland and western island late in the day. the first sign of a caller change gradually developing as we go through next week. for now, it is the sunshine and heat again today. we have to make the most of it. as we get edged towards september, this could be the last we see of it. it

will soon be christmas. i am always optimistic for that late september, early october surge. thank you. we will check in for you later. now, it's time for the film review with mark kermode and julian worricker. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so, mark, what do we have this week? we have a proper mixed bag. we have crawl, which promises to do for alligators whatjaws did for sharks. pain and glory, the award—winning film from pedro almodovar. and angel has fallen —

gerard butler is back. right, some alligators to start with. we have had alligators in films like, i believe, lake placid? and there have been others... alligator, eaten alive. i think technically lake placid was a giant crocodile. as i mentioned, film tries to do for alligators in films what was done injaws for sharks. the story is a swimmer from the university of florida goes back home and she finds out herfather is in his house in a hurricane zone and she cannot get in touch with him and she goes to the house to go and check that he is all right. when she gets there, everything is flooded and wouldn't you know it, there are huge alligators in the water. here is a clip. come on! siren blares.

watch out! that is no ordinary flood, is it? no, but you can see the jaws—iness to it, or elements of it. there's another one called bait, putting sharks in a supermarket. this basically does what it says on the tin. this film cost around $13 million, has already taken $65 million. it's a perfectly efficient, exploitive b—movie creature feature in which it works partly because it has decent performances and you like the characters. the father—daughter relationship works well because partly there are no surprises, but that includes

there is no surprising mistakes. sometimes you can see the edge of production in the film a little bit, but it is done well. there are a few laugh out loud lines. the director alexandre aja knows how to put this stuff together. "we are not going to be out—smarted by these pea—brained reptiles!" which reminds me of a line from snakes on a plane, but it does exactly what it sets out to do. it is a straightforward unpretentious monster rampage movie. and it understands the parameters of what it can do, it is all set at the house, there is a basement, he does all the set up you can do and it does it all in a kind of snappy efficiency. snappy, good. it will not win pulitzer prizes or 0scars, but it does exactly what it sets out to do. i looked at the cast list earlier and suspected that not all the people on the list survive, without wanting to spoil the ending. i would not spoil anything. pedro almodovar you mentioned a moment ago and pain and glory. i thought —— i am a huge fan.

this is a very personal semi—autobiography... a filmmaker played by antonio banderas, racked with pain, both physical and metaphysical. he is in a moment of stasis in his life. there is a revival of a film he made 30 years ago with an actor he has not spoken to for 30 years, which forces them to get back together again. and whilst the present—day plot is moving forward, he is cast back to memories of his childhood, memories of his mother washing clothes in a stream, memories of a time they lived in a cave dwelling. memories of first going to the cinema and seeing movies projected against whitewashed walls. so the whole film sort of ebbs and flows with the tide. it's beautifully done, it's very, very personal. there is a great performance by penelope cruz as the younger embodiment of the character's mother. antonio banderas, i've never seen be quite so vulnerable.

his face is this kind of mask of melancholia and regret and yet the childhood reminiscences are so vivid, so vibrant, these two things are living side by side. 0n the one hand, the ecstasy of his childhood memories. funnily enough, they are different film—makers. there is a comparison here between the work of pedro almodovar and terrence davis. terence with his memories of the cinema and his mother singing. clearly a very personal movie. not perfectly autobiographical. there are hints? there are hints of it. what he has done is he has taken the real story in fictionalised it and just taken elements. but there are some things you can see are absolutely personal, particularly the portrayal of the figure of his mother. but i thought was terrific and i think antonio banderas should be up for an oscar nomination for his performance. that's definitely a commendation. 0k, onto angel has fallen. where are you with the series?

it was only earlier when somebody said the trilogy of the has fallen. 0lympus has fallen, which was the not—good version of white house down. i hated london has fallen in which there's a line, "most of london's known landmarks which were destroyed." well, what about the unknown landmarks? in this, gerard butler is back and he is framed for an attack on the president's life. here's the clip. what is that? are they bats? distant ringing. ringing approaches. high-pitched buzzing. they're drones, they're drones! on radio: art! come with me, sir! get him under the ballistic hard cover, keep him down. i'm on my way! all yelling. delta team engage, engage!

they scream. i didn't think that would end well. here is the thing. i know this sounds like damning with faint praise. but i think this is the best of the has fallen series. for a number of reasons, because firstly again in much of the way of crawl, it understands its sensibility. gerard butler was brilliant in vanishing, it has gotjust the right register here. a great performance by danny huston who is chewing absolutely the scenery. halfway through, nick nolte turns up as gerard butler's dad. and he is doing that nick nolte thing where, "i am a vietnam veteran living off the grid," and i really enjoyed it. i didn't expect i was going to at all because i hated london has fallen. i went into this, thinking, are we getting more of the same? and i notice from the basic critical

reviews have not been well received. but in the screening i was in, the minute nick nolte turned up, it became about the father and son thing, people started laughing, enjoying it and that laughter continued right the way through the end credits. actually, of all the has fallen ones, this is the best. that is slightly damning with faint praise. no, i saw a lot of praise for nick nolte. he is great. he has almost become a caricature of nick nolte, there are whole lines of dialogue that are... mumbles incoherently. and gerard butler says, "you always say that!" right, moving on from your nick nolte impersonations. let's talk about the best one out at the moment. blinded by the light. are you a bruce springsteen fan? iam. i am not. i have nothing against him. this is based on a memoir of the scriptwriter. and it is a story about a young man who connects with the music of bruce springsteen despite the fact that his life has nothing to do with bruce springsteen's life.

it's directed by gurinder chadha, who made bend it like beckham. it bursts into song like sunshine 0n leith did. so it is almost like a musical. i thought it was charming. you can pick holes in it if you want to, but i thought it was really charming and it moved me and made me laugh, it made me cry. i just love the idea that music is universal. somebody on the other side of the atlantic living a completely different life from you can write songs that mean so much to you in this particular in the world you live in. and even if you are not a bruce springsteen fan... nothing against him. born to run. let's talk about the best dvd. wild rose which is this lovely film about a glaswegian single mum who is a country western singer and dreams of going to nashville. titanic central performance byjesse buckley. she's recorded a country album, she is fantastic. she has recorded a country album.

it has its feet on the ground but its head in the stars. again, it understands how music can transport you from one place to another. gritty and realistic, but also romantic in his romantic view of the world. the idea that you can dream large in such a great central performance. i thought it was really good. her singing voice is outstanding. yeah, she can really sing and i did an onstage interview with her and i asked if she would mind singing a song and she did and i said, "fine, you are the real deal!" she can make it but she can also act. i thought it was a really lovely film. good stuff. thank you, mark. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching. goodbye.

hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. 3d baggage scanners will be introduced at every airport in the uk before the end of 2022, under government plans announced today. ministers say the technology, which will be similar to ct scanners used in hospitals,

will cut queues, boost security and will mean passengers will no longer have to remove laptops and liquids from their luggage as it's screened. borisjohnson will meet donald trump for the first time since becoming prime minister later at the g7 summit of world leaders in france. he's warning the president that the us must compromise if it wants a trade deal with the uk, by lifting restrictions on british businesses. mrjohnson will also hold talks with eu council president, donald tusk. the brazilian military has begun a major operation to tackle the fires in the amazon rainforest. planes loaded with water and firefighting chemicals have been dispatched to the northern state of rondonia, which is one of the worst affected regions. the government has promised to relax its strict austerity policies and release extra funds for the emergency. the head of the national body for police bosses is calling for harsher sentences for people who attack officers. katy bourne, who's the new chair of the association of police

and crime commissioners, says anyone who hurts one should go to prison, "no ifs, no buts". it comes after the killing of pc andrew harper last week. the british paralympic association says it has serious concerns about the number of accessible rooms available at next year's games in tokyo. 0rganisers say they need another 300 but that the problem will be sorted in time. this weekend marks a year to go until the opening ceremony. more than 4,000 athletes from over 160 countries will compete. thousands of people took to the streets of manchester to watch the annual pride parade yesterday. celebrations are taking place all weekend, with ariana grande headlining today's activities. it's herfirst time performing in the city since the concert to remember the victims of the arena attack in 2017. if you're feeling low, some greenery could be the answer. a gp practice in manchester

is prescribing plants rather than pills for people with anxiety, depression and loneliness. instead of sedatives and anti—depressants, patients may get herbs, veg and potted—plants to help lift their spirits. the new scheme at cornbrook medical practice in manchester is believed to be the first in the country. worth a try! time now for the sport. we were saying yesterday it looked like it was all over, well you can forget all of that, it's all changed. we we re all of that, it's all changed. we were talking in the papers about mullets coming back, and there was a picture of ian botham. 0f mullets coming back, and there was a picture of ian botham. of course, 1981, headingly, ian botham and bob willis, an amazing turnaround. maybe this is what has inspired the turnaround. this would be even more

impressive, if they managed to win this. they are not out of the woods just yet. joe root is still there andi just yet. joe root is still there and i think a lot will hinge on his performance. but they are making a fight of it. yesterday we were saying how it looked all but over for england, and there's no doubt australia are still the favourites at headingley, but there's hope, after they dug in. andy swiss can bring us the story from yesterday. just a few hours earlier, it would have been unthinkable. england's captain cheered from the field with his team's ashes hopes still alive. earlier, australia's batsmen seemed to have ended them as they extended their lead. marnus labuschagne exhibiting his ability and his courage. struck on the helmet by jofra archer, he was cleared to continue and made 80. by the time archer wrapped up the innings,

england's hope seemed over. the target, 359. huge, but it soon seemed even huge. rory burns quickly went, before jason roy was bamboozled by a beauty. at 15/2, england were staring at humiliation, but finally some resistance. joe denly and joe root combining to impressive effect. a flicker of hope, perhaps, as they both reached their half centuries, headingly was starting to believe. joe denly finally went, gloving one behind, but crucially, joe root continues. while he is at the crease anything is possible. while england have shown some welcome fight, it still might not be enough to rescue them all the ashes. but the fans blue' hopes are still hanging on. still the highest ever run chase, so a big target that england have to

reach. now take a look at this brilliant goal from liverpool's mo salah as they beat arsenal 3—1. a brilliant turn before bursting in behind the arsenal defence. he added a second from the penalty spot, to make it three wins from three and extend their run of consecutive league wins to 12, equalling their record from 1990. a year in which they won their last league title. ididn't i didn't see a bad player tonight, or one who played under his level. it was really good, and there was one tackle that was incredible. com pletely clea n, one tackle that was incredible. completely clean, winning the ball and passing it pretty much with your bum on the floor, still passing the ball, that was incredible. so yes, sensational. bit of a sickener for manchester united, having missed a penalty at 1—0 down they finally equalised with a minute to play against palace, only for patrick van aanholt to win it deep in injury time marcus rashford took it

and was subjected to racist abuse online after, the fourth incident in two weeks. twitter have said they'll meet manchester united to outline what they're doing to tackle it. chelsea have their first win of the season and tammy abraham to thank for it, he got the winner, scoring twice in a 3—2 win over norwich. chelsea fielding their youngest line up in the premier league since 1994. in the scottish premiership, celtic and rangers play today, ysterday there were wins for motherwell and livingston while the games at kilmarnock and hibernian ended in draws. talk about an upset, st helens the overriding faviourties talk about an upset, st helens the overriding favourites for yesterday's challenge cup. but it was warrington who won it heading to wembley as underdogs, they came out on top 18—4 in what was a really hot day, temperatures of over 30 degrees. daryl clark, after two tries in quick succession in the first half, making sure of the win. saints frustrated by some refereeing decsions, two tries were controversially disallowed.

warrington putting last year's defeat in the final behind them. i'm lost for words. 0ur i'm lost for words. our plan was outstanding, and this bunch of boys is something special. i can't believe it. a huge win for england over ireland in their world cup warm up match at twickenham, but head coach eddiejones doesn't think his side are ready to win the tournament. 57—15 it finished, their largest ever victory against their opponents. manu tuilagi starred for england, scoring one of their eight tries. england's final warm—up match is against italy at st james' park next month. 27 days to go until the tournament begins. a good win too for scotland, who got over their recent defeat

to france by recovering an 11—point deficit to win the return match at murrayfield. a chris harris try in the second half sealing the win. play had to be suspended at golf‘s tour championship in atlanta after a number of people were injured by lightning strikes near a fan zone. six fans were treated, all were ok after they were hit by debris, from the strike. only two groups had completed the third round prior to the weather delay, withjustin thomas at the top of the leaderbaord. rory mcilroy is one shot of the lead. but play is suspended. hopefully they won't have to deal with the type of conditions they we re with the type of conditions they were putting up with yesterday. £12 million for the winner! you needed, danger money! never strikes twice though, so they say! we are going to

stay with a sporting theme. while the ashes continues to be pretty stressful for english fans, the tournament's definitely inspiring people to give cricket a go. 0ne version of the game is getting more and more popular. you don't need a bat, or stumps, to play swing cricket. just a playground swing and a ball. mike bushell has been to hampshire to rediscover a game he played as a young boy. an empty swing and a spirit of cricket. sometimes old toys add new things to new ones. but it isn't new, my friend and i would play every day back in the 19705. now, i notice it making a comeback. especially in a place where normal sports couldn't really be played. not enough room here for cricket in a pub garden in hampshire,

especially with people enjoying drink5 nearby. but swing cricket here is flourishing. to play it properly you need a big enough space, a proper park with a swing. be courteous to other park users, of course. make your own boundaries and your own pitch, with the swing being the wicket. you aim for the player's stomach. enter that to help spread the word came kevinjames. stomach. enter that to help spread the word came kevin james. you do not see kids with a bat and stumps ata not see kids with a bat and stumps at a park, but this is combining something they like with cricket as well. i'm happy with the team score, not happy with that shot! rules are simple. you throw the ball, and the

person on the swing tries to kick it away. they can't get caught, that's out. or if it hits them in the midriff that is out as well. sometimes bad luck is what gets you out. is one of my favourite sport. you can play at any time anywhere. all you need is a ball and a swing. say someone likes football and the other person likes cricket, it is a way to mix it together and have some fun. in this ashes, it is quite that the captain facing kevin james fun. in this ashes, it is quite that the captain facing kevinjames was a former australian club player.” grew up playing all forms of cricket in the backyard. it didn't matter what it was, as long as it involved a ball and what it was, as long as it involved a balland a what it was, as long as it involved a ball and a you boundaries, we were happy. you don't have to be that tall to get good points, because i am quite small and i canjust hit it! her runs were proved crucial as

james made a breakthrough. and all the time, the hope being that this will entice more youngsters into playing real cricket with a bat.” thought it would be quite boring because it has cricket in it, but it is really fun. it is very good for the core... as long as you don't come off the swing, which i nearly did! he needs to be careful, he might do himself a mischief ahead of strictly. playing so close to those points in a pub garden! kevan james is a a pub garden! kevanjames is a lovely a pub garden! kevan james is a lovely fellow, a pub garden! kevanjames is a lovely fellow, but obviously you never lose that competitive edge. turns up for a kick around with a bunch of kids and he has his whites on! in 1955, a group of students from oxford and cambridge set off on the journey of a lifetime, making history by becoming the first

to drive the 10,000 miles from london to singapore. now, almost 65 years later, a team of adventurers are recreating that epic drive in reverse. 0ur correspondent sarah toms waved them off this morning as they hit the road. shejoins us now from singapore. how were they when they set off? there is a great come rotary here, it is all quiet now, they left a couple of hours ago, but there was a big crowd to cheer them off, a convoy of vehicles followed them out and will be travelling with them to the malaysian border. now, the sad thing was that tim slessor, who did the original trip, was hoping to do the original trip, was hoping to do the return journey, but the original trip, was hoping to do the returnjourney, but he has taken ill, so at the last moment he couldn't go. but two of the other original members were there, both in

their 805, and original members were there, both in their805, andi original members were there, both in their 805, and i asked them if they had any tips for the new team of adventurers. my tip would be when you come to corrugation 's, drive fast. that's serious. if you drive on these roads that i like that all the time, if you drive slowly your car will go the time, if you drive slowly your carwill go up and the time, if you drive slowly your car will go up and down. if you go fa st car will go up and down. if you go fast enough, it cuts the vibration and takes the strain off the car. an important one. i did ask them if they had any regrets about not joining the trip. they said they thought about it for a nanosecond but then said no, they would leave it for the next generation, because there will be a lot of challenges on there will be a lot of challenges on the road. they will be travelling through asia and europe for nearly four months. 0riginally, in 1955, they went through syria and iraq, which is now off—limits, so they will be travelling through central

asia instead. a few updates — they do have the original land rover, but it has a new engine, and they do have gps navigational systems. the tea m have gps navigational systems. the team are hoping to be back in the uk for christmas. 0nly team are hoping to be back in the uk for christmas. only 100 team are hoping to be back in the uk for christmas. 0nly100 days to go, they left today. 16,000 kilometres, and vast stretches of open road ahead of them. what a wonderful adventure, many thanks! it will be getting light across the country now. temperature will be starting nudge up no doubt. here's nick with a look at this morning's weather. it is going to be warm. yes, hot even. this is a shot from yesterday. there are some running sunrises out there. a glorious start to the day. a bit of cloud out there for some of us. as for the heat, got

close to 31 celsius at london's heathrow airport. this temperature isa heathrow airport. this temperature is a record for wales in the late august bank holiday. it will probably be a bit cooler today, whereas elsewhere will have a view degrees to the temperature because it will be another hot one. sunshine will be hazy as we look at the satellite picked, some areas of cloud are drifting in from the west, a lot of this is high cloud so this i'm still getting through. it is not a really blue sky, a bit milky out there. we are going to see a bit more cloud in western counties of wales into cornwall, a lump of cloud may move towards the coast of lancashire. the sunshine is more widespread in northern ireland and scotla nd widespread in northern ireland and scotland today compared with yesterday. it is still there across a large part of england and wales and the temperatures are higher in scotland, upper 205, 28 in glasgow. the mid to upper teens in the north

and western isles. 24 in northern ireland. western parts of wales, a little cooler. low 305 towards the south—east of england. that would be a record for the uk for the lake august bank holiday. —— late august. find areas to begin with. cloud becoming more widespread, fog patches developing in places especially to the west as well. temperatures around the mid teens overnight. the bank holiday for england, wales and northern ireland —— northern ireland. fog patches here, gradually clearing. there may bea here, gradually clearing. there may be a shower moving towards cornwall during the day, rain edging towards the western isles but most places will stay fine, again with some hazy sunshine and the temperatures edging into the low 305 towards the south—east, a bit cooler in scotland and northern ireland. the big picture as we look to monday and tuesday, if few weather front is close by, so things are going to change a little bit. the greater

chance of seeing showers or thunderstorms during tuesday and rain edging towards the western isles as well. it turns cooler for the weekend. how lovely to have the weekend. how lovely to isles as well. it turns cooler for the weekend. how lovely to have a sunny, bright bank holiday. we will be back for the headlines that you —— for you at seven o'clock. now, it's time for click with spencer kelly. in the summer and autumn of 2018, california experienced its deadliest ever wildfires. they claimed the lives of over 80 people and whole towns were destroyed. but as residents tried to escape, the firefighters did what they always do — they ran towards the danger.

it is a profession that relies on courage, education and, increasingly, the latest science and technology to better understand how fires behave and how to beat back the flames. and if you want to be a firefighter, this is where you learn the craft. the international fire training centre in darlington in the north of england. this is where brave firefighters come from around the world to learn the latest techniques in fighting all kinds of blazes. they can simulate a huge variety of fire scenarios here, oil rigs, industrialfires. that is an overturned fuel tanker, and they can simulate any size of aircraft from the smallest to the largest. that is an airbus a380

and this is a boeing 747. and it is notjust about gearing up and grabbing the hose. every fire is different. and each needs to be treated intelligently to make sure you and the people you are trying to save have the best chance of survival. wow! my goodness. they are using the water as a protective shield. so it keeps the two fires apart, using the water. keeping the left—hand one at bay and then extinguishing the right one before we deal with the left. the centre tries to make each scenario as realistic as possible, not just the fire, but the treatment of the casualties as well. it is fascinating to see the science behind firefighting. for example, in a kerosene fuel

fighter, water will not put it out. —— fire, water will not put it out. this cone of water controls the blaze so another firefighter can come in with a powder extinguisher. that is what finally tames the flames. and once they're gone, does that mean the job is done? well, that is where this thermal imaging camera comes in to see what our eyes cannot. so, once it looks like the fire is out, you still have to cover the area in waterjust in case there are some hot spots. you can see here the vent on the top of this engine is still white hot according to this thermal imaging camera. and there are many other ways to detect and deal with fires. lara has been looking at some of them. for the past two years, half of the uk's fire brigades have been deploying these drones. they focus on the safety

of firefighters and their onboard hd and thermal imaging cameras can provide much greater visibility, which means a better understanding of a fire and the way that it is spreading. using a drone, we can get pretty much an instant overview of the whole fire in less than five minutes and start moving our machines and our firefighters around just like chess pieces, really, all controlled by drone footage. it also brings us a massive benefit as we can see fires as they are developing. the team here have also use them for rescues and searching for missing people in quarries or in water. the hd camera is able to clearly zoom in on a face up to half a mile away. but of course when it comes to the spread of fires, what has happened recently in california is at the forefront of our mind. the university of westminster

is researching a system that combines sensors on the ground and those in a drone. the aim — a solution for wildfire. these solar—powered prototype sensors are tracking carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen, humidity, temperature, gps and altitude. the aim is to combine them into one miniaturised cost—effective version, which could be deployed en masse in areas susceptible to wildfires, providing immediate feedback. if there is something, it will alert all their neighbours also, forming to a network, alert, take measurements, convey to the master node, which then conveys it further up to the server, which then alerts the drones that come up to get a visual. the plane comes with all the information that it has got from the drones, from the ground sensors and it knows

what the windspeed is, what wind direction is, what the temperature variations are. it comes over the fire. it knows where the fire will be when the plane rendezvous is and then it makes a list from the air and then the heavens open as they hit the target where the fire is, and you can fight fires day and night, 24 hours a day with no visibility. meanwhile, this is the stinger. it can pierce through metal and pretty much any roof, dramatically blasting foam or water into the heart of a blaze. the quantity and force of that water is pretty incredible. this pumps 1,000 litres a minute with an even more powerfuljet to the side, capable of 4.5 times that. it also has an on—board thermal imaging camera to assist with that precision. blackburn is currently the only

uk fire service using this kit. i'm told it costs around £600,000. but maybe as costs come down and this technology evolves, this next generation of firefighting will become the norm. iamat leicestershire fire and rescue, the first service in the country to invest in virtual reality. their hope is that money will be saved by replacing some of the expensive traditional training techniques with vr alternatives. i've seen the demo and the fire looks quite intense, so i don't think it's going to be what i'm used to when it comes to virtual reality, which isjust having a nice time! let's see. all the scenes in the training are scanned from the real world.

for instance, this arson hot spot in leicester is a good reference for investigators looking for clues. it's the inside of a destroyed smoke alarm. ijust need to say, the environment is like i'm standing on ash. it feels very real. teleportation. oh, my gosh. 0k, there is a body down there. if you enjoy training, you are going to get more out of it. it's already been proven by a study in the united states that if you train in a virtual reality environment, the retention rate is 75%. most of my talks i do on road safety are powerpoint. rentention rate is 5%. so you can see why we're looking at this because the training is going to be enhanced so much. if you want to skip 10 seconds forward, you can do it on the controller and skip forward, so you can fast—forward the fire again.

you remember from the scene you saw a minute ago, that tv monitor was completely melted. and you can see how it physically affects things that are not even burning yet. yes, and idea is as it stops, we didn't show the people putting out the fire, but you get the ability straightaway to dive back in the scene and now you're in that same burn scene. yeah, seeing the impact of that fire is pretty remarkable. it moves quickly. part of the reason this experience feels so intense is the realism behind it. for leicestershire fire and rescue, this was important, that they move away from gamification and into real life. they've been working with a company called river to make this happen. the scenes are created using photogrammetry, both cameras and lasers photographing real—life 360—degree scenarios up to thousands of times. we've seen how fire services are using virtual reality, but what about other first responders? here at the defence science

and technology laboratory, they are hard at work on how police might use virtual reality in theirtraining. number 7, ferguson house. caller report sounds a violent disturbance... wow, i can see some feet already. so, i don't think people would expect to put the police and virtual reality together. why is it so important that the police are interacting with technology in this way? you can replicate one—off events, so a one—off event which could be a dangerous or hazardous environment, you can actually recreate as a one—off and people would never, ever get the opportunity to rehearse that, but in vr, we can, so we can give them that vehicle, give them that opportunity to do a one—off scenario and do it safely. oh, my gosh. 0k. i'm going to see if this woman is alive. she's obviously taken some pills. there is a heartbeat here. i can definitely see already

how it would be used, in a way that a lot of games are, really, to open up your mind to possibilities around crime, why people may have committed criminal activities, those kind of questions are definitely there already. yeah, that was more enjoyable than the fire one, i think. which perhaps shouldn't be my takeaway, like, i could go back into that world, whereas the fire scene, ijust wanted to get out. and that's it for the short cut of click from the international fire training centre. the full—length version comes highly recommended, trust me, and it is waiting for you on iplayer right now. we're going to put a load more footage and photos from this place up on social media. don't forget, we live on facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. but now, thanks for watching and we will see you soon.
