good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: hundreds of thousands of people in three areas of north west england are under tighter lockdown measures from today in an attempt to combat rising coronavirus cases. california asks australia to help thousands of firefighters battling huge wildfires, some of the worst in the state's history, which have killed six people. sta travel becomes the latest high—street firm to fall victim to the pandemic, putting around 500 jobs at risk. endland's cricketers will want to pile on the runs against pakistan this morning, including zak crawley, who resumes 171 not out, leaving them in a strong position

heading into day two of the final match in southampton. and not quite as windy today as it was yesterday. overall, not a bad day for most of us, with sunshine and a few showers. it's saturday, the 22nd of august. our top story: parts of north west england are facing tighter lockdown restrictions from today amid rising concern over the increase in cases of covid—19. the health secretary, matt hancock, said the targeted measures were aimed at preventing a second peak of the virus. here's what has changed. from today, residents in oldham as well as those in parts of pendle and blackburn can no longer socialise with anyone from outside their own households. there's a new lower limit of 20 people allowed to attend weddings orfunerals.

people are also being encouraged to not use public transport unless essential. workplaces are unaffected, as are childcare facilities, and other businesses including pubs and restaurants can continue to operate. elsewhere in the north west, from wednesday, those living in wigan, rossendale and darwen will see a relaxation of restrictions there, as cases continue to fall. in another development, northampton has now become a so—called "area of intervention," where local officials will visit households and encourage people to take extra care. and in birmingham, a rise in infections means the city is now on the government's watchlist. it's been designated an area of "enhanced support, " allows additional measures such as further testing and more local contact tracing to take place. we can speak to our reporter yunus mulla, who's in oldham for us this morning. yunus, how have people there been reacting to these

extra measures? well, that really depends on who you speak to. let's take the leadership here in oldham, for example. they are breathing a huge sigh of relief because they feared a much wider lockdown involving businesses and had warned of an economic catastrophe. that is clearly not going to happen. those restrictions are focused mainly on the socialising between different households, and as far as they are concerned, all that lobbying they have in doing has paid off, and they are relatively pleased with the outcome that they have got. however, if you speak to people here, they point out that although the infection rate is higher, it has fallen recently, and some do question weather they need further restrictions, especially with more testing in certain parts of oldham. and businesses have also is taken about confusion among the public

here. —— have also spoken about confusion. but clearly these are restrictions they are going to have to put up with. oldham, parts of greater manchester, the region's police force have said that some people, and as you said, it depends who you talk to, some people are still not behaving responsibly? greater manchester police have become increasingly frustrated at these breaches of lockdown restrictions in recent days and weeks. and on the eve of these new restrictions being imposed here, there was a house party where 30 people attended, greater manchester police say an adult has been sanctioned and parents issued with a fixed penalty notice. there was also another breach, this time officers attended a property in swindon, again, notfar attended a property in swindon, again, not farfrom attended a property in swindon, again, not far from here, attended a property in swindon, again, not farfrom here, where families were celebrating a child's birthday. so there are people who clearly still don't understand what these lockdown restrictions are. the greater manchester police urging people not to those restrictions.

thank you. —— breach those restrictions. we'll be joined by the leader of oldham council, sean fielding, here on breakfast at around 8:10am. manchester united captain harry maguire is due to appear in court in greece this morning after spending a second night in police custody. the england defender was transferred by ferry to the island of syros yesterday, after he and two friends were detained by police following an altercation on thursday evening on the island of mykonos, where he was on holiday. the 27—year old's lawyer says he denies the charges, which include assaulting a police officer. tourists returning to the uk from croatia, austria or trinidad and tobago will now have to self—isolate for two weeks. new quarantine restrictions came into effect this morning at 4:00am. many travellers had to pay for extra flights to make it home before the deadline. sta travel is the latest company to enter administration as a direct result of the pandemic, putting 500 jobs at risk. it was a familiar presence on the high street for nearly a0 years, specialising in student travel, but the decline in long—haul trips proved too much for the firm to overcome.

greg mackenzie reports. it was the company which grew out of a student travel business, specialising in trips for young people, including gap years, backpackers and volunteer projects. but it is the latest high—street chain to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. sta travel has more than 50 branches across the uk, but in the past six years it has seen its profits dramatically for. now, add that with a lack of money coming into the business, because fewer people are travelling, or simply choosing to book their holidays elsewhere, the company has simply decided to call it a day and cease trading. 500 jobs are now at risk. a big company, and it is horrible to see another casualty of this crisis in the uk travel

industry, which is crying out for urgent, sector specific support.l spokesperson for the association of british travel agents said this will send a shockwave through the industry. bringing to life the very real pressures that travel is under at the moment. it is hoped the majority of flights and holidays sold by sta will be protected by the ato l sold by sta will be protected by the atol scheme, which protects holiday bookings. —— atol scheme. it has directed customers to its website for further advice. directed customers to its website forfurtheradvice. meanwhile, directed customers to its website for further advice. meanwhile, sta's pa rent for further advice. meanwhile, sta's parent company, based in switzerland, said the pandemic had brought the travel industry to a standstill. at a time when you have literally no money coming in, just a whole series of demands for refunds, clearly the parent company, a swiss—based firm, had to look at the future and just decided that there was no chance of business coming back at anything like the necessary

amount before next year. with a combination of high—street rents, a lack of income and demands for refunds, partick lack of income and demands for refunds, pa rtick lilly lack of income and demands for refunds, partick lilly when the uk's list of quarantine countries can change so suddenly, it is unlikely sta will be the last casualty in this new age of infection. —— particularly when. brett mckenzie, bbc news. the governor of california has appealed for assistance from canada and australia, as hundreds of wildfires continue to spread. at least 175,000 people have been forced to flee their homes and six people are known to have died. sophie long reports from los angeles. the vast inferno displays throughout northern california. —— blaze. claiming at least six lights, destroying hundreds of buildings, and covering an area bigger than los angeles. satellite images show the smoke listing —— clicking most of

california, creating the worst air quality on the planet when people are fighting a respiratory pandemic. and yet this is political. they have massive fires again in california. maybe we're just going to have to make them pay for it, because they don't listen to us. we say you've got to get rid of the leaves, you've got to get rid of the leaves, you've got to get rid of the leaves, you've got to get rid of the day bree, you've got to get rid of the fallen trees. most of the blazes were sparked by what is being called a trifecta of fire conditions. a freak summer trifecta of fire conditions. a freak summer lightning storm, the most intense for more than a decade, collided with a heat recording record temperatures. the resulting fla mes record temperatures. the resulting flames found by high winds. record temperatures. the resulting flames found by high windsm record temperatures. the resulting flames found by high winds. if you are in denial about climate change, come to california. 11,000 dry lightning strikes, we had that over 72 hour period, leading to unprecedented challenge. california is no stranger to scenes like this, but the ferocity of these fires so early in the season has astonished many of the thousands of fighting them on the front line. temperatures are expected to ease,

but the fires are expected to ease, but the fires are now generating so much heat they are now generating so much heat they are creating their own wins, pushing them in multiple unpredictable directions and threatening tens of thousands of homes. —— own winds. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. the russian opposition leader is on his way to germany for medical treatment after a suspected poisoning. alexei navalny has been in a coma since collapsing on thursday. russian doctors initially said he should not be moved, but then changed their minds and agreed to let him be taken to berlin. his supporters suspect he drank poisoned tea, and accuse authorities of trying to cover up a crime. small music venues are being thrown a lifeline this week, with 135 of those most at risk of closing getting emergency funding. the troubadour in london, where adele and ed sheeran performed early gigs, and the jacaranda in liverpool, where the beatles held early rehearsals, are among the recipients of the government's culture recovery fund. here's lizo mzimba with

more. artists ranging from chrissie hines to paul young, and bands ranging from motorhead to u2 have played here at the horn in st albans. it is one of 135 music venues across england which are receiving emergency grants from the government. the money has been welcomed by hearted venues which might otherwise be facing closure of the next few months. after that, though, there is still uncertainty. whether it is going to be enough long—term, i doubt it. because we are never going to get back to 100% normality very quickly, so i would think there would have to be extra funding put in place going forward from march, spring next year, going into next year. smaller grassroots venues are seen as an into next year. smaller grassroots venues are seen as an essential part of the industry. places that are receiving the emergency cash include modern venues like accountant furnace in and

historic bush hall in london, once a rehearsal space for the likes of the who and cliff richards, more recently used for socially distanced gigs which could then be viewed by fans. cites the government has decided need parity funding. it is over £3 million that we are giving to those venues who are right up against the wall now, and need for cash, before the allocation of the full amount, £1.57 billion, of record investment in our culture. that figure, of more than £1.5 billion, is the total allocated to the government's culture recovery fund, which aims to help areas including the performing arts and theatres, museums, galleries and independent cinemas, all coping with the impact of coronavirus. lizo mzimba, bbc news. it's been nearly three weeks since the devastating explosion in beirut, and it's now emerged that large numbers of syrian refugees

were among the casualties. our correspondent paul adams met one family whose lives have now been completely torn apart by the explosion. there's not a lot to pick up, but syrian refugees don't have very much. so my mood and his brother—in—law salvage what they can from what used to be the family home. —— mahmoud. no—one was living closer to the blast. they root's shattered grain silo isjust closer to the blast. they root's shattered grain silo is just a few hundred metres away. —— beirut‘s. mahmoud's father works there is a concierge. these were once luxury apartments. it will be a long time before anybody works —— moves back in. as mahmoud raced here on august four, fehraz had already pulled lifeless sidra's body from the rubble. he is struggling with the memory. the rest of the family survived, but only just. memory. the rest of the family survived, but onlyjust. my father

calmer than yesterday. yesterday it was blowing a gale widely across the uk. today we call it breezy rather than windy. this low pressure has been spinning around, almost out of control across the uk. swells of cloud heading our way bringing gusty winds and showers. a bit of that left over for today. a winds and showers. a bit of that left overfor today. a big cluster of showers moving across the north—west quadrant of the uk this morning, eventually into the lake district. i think here the showers will be quite heavy and also in parts of scotland. for most of us today, upright if not a sunny day, with passing cloud on a good breeze, and occasional showers. these are the showers moving across the north

during the evening. tonight, the winds will die down, mostly clear spells across the uk. temperatures around 1a in london, 11 nfc and the following night will be quite a bit fresh. very little wind on sunday but quite a few showers moving across these central sway of the uk. a bit fresher in scotland. a hint of autumn into the air and also for next week as well. another round of gales heading our way, probably tuesday, wednesday and may be as early as monday night as the jetstrea m early as monday night as the jetstream pushes this autumn like low in our direction. monday itself is not looking windy. a case of

sunny spells and a few showers across western areas. behind me, the next big lows lurking. if i could just waft it away but i cannot. more wet and windy weather on the way next week. over the next few days... not a bad day to day. not bad tomorrow unless you get caught in a downpour and next week slowly we are going down that slippery heel again to probably seems like this. back to you. it's been a summer of heartache, not only for couples who have had to cancel their wedding plans, but for those who work to make the big day happen. many claim that the wedding sector is a forgotten industry, and the government should act fast to prevent thousands of jobs being lost. sarah corker reports. the big fairy tale wedding at a castle or country house is now on hold for thousands of couples. we do

lots of weddings from all over the world because they come here because we can do larger numbers. coronavirus has forced this group to cancel or postpone 250 weddings across three venues in cheshire. in scotland, 20, in northern ireland and wales it depends on the size of the venue of people allowed. here in this castle, smaller venues are not viable. we are still stuck waiting. it has had a huge financial impact. our sales which probably to date have lost £8 million in sales. our sales which probably to date have lost £8 million in salesm our sales which probably to date have lost £8 million in sales. it is just a huge figure. business owners are this multi—million—dollar industry needs help if it is to recover. the wedding industry has been the forgotten industry but it

isa been the forgotten industry but it is a big industry and so it is desperate and needs support. this is big wedding season and get no weddings. we would have 30, 40 weddings. we would have 30, 40 weddings through august but now nothing at all. they need a timeframe from when restrictions bullies so they can plan ahead. between april and august, 123 thousand weddings were postponed or cancelled and it is notjust venues that are losing huge sums of money but it has sent a ripple effect through the entire industry, affecting photographers, caterers and florists. to pay the bill, this photographer has been doing lockdown family should and taking advantage ofa family should and taking advantage of a mortgage holiday to ease the financial strain. what impact have these cancellations and postponements have on

you?m these cancellations and postponements have on you? it is the worst time for us to lose a year's income because that is when you get the main bulk of it. and this is what a covered back secure wedding looks like. —— covid—19. think should be avoided and dancing at the reception is not allowed. this couple from southport were due to get married next weekend but whittling down the guest list proved tricky. we just keep postponing a deal we cannot postpone anymore. —— until. nearly half a million weddings are expected to take place next year. sarah corker, bbc news. really difficult times for a lot of industries. let's take a look at some of this morning's front pages. the manchester united

captain, harry maguire, features on the front pages of many papers this morning. the mirror leads with the news that the player has spent a second night in jail after being arrested over an incident on the greek island of mykonos. the daily telegraph's main story reports warnings from senior government advisors that a second national lockdown could be enforced, as the reproduction number of the virus stands above one. the daily mail leads with the results of a poll the paper conducted. they say a "huge majority" of those surveyed believe reopening schools should be the "top priority for ministers". and the most read story on the bbc news website is news of comments by the head of the world health organization who said he hopes the coronavirus pandemic will be over in under two years. i have a bit of science and nature for you. i have a bit of science and nature foryou. in i have a bit of science and nature for you. in the express, more than 100 billion rogue planets could be floating around. not attached to any staff so they drift free through space. nasa mission

predicts they will outnumber the stars in the milky way. i'll be at risk? of a planet colliding with us because they are free? i do not think that just yet. i think we are all right. in the south—east, where, stink bugs that have you heard of stink bugs? basically they ruin fruit crops and a bit terrible stench. it was in essex. it shows they will thrive in the plastic tunnels used by fruit growers. i take you from bugs to creatures. looking at how critters have survived in death valley. they recorded one of the highest temperatures... what is a critter? creatures like the

kangaroo rat which gets the hydration through seeds and grasses. there is the fish called the pup fish which has been stranded in some of the water courses because they have dried out. it is one of the most heat tolerant honour and can survive on temperatures of 104 degrees, 40 celsius, in water. that is actually quite a warm shower. very, very. john has all the sport for us. good morning, are you well? days in sport you will rememberfor ever and zak crawley had one of those yesterday. not only a maiden test century, but will resume on 171 not out, against pakistan. the batsman combining brilliantly with joss butler,

as england finished on 332—4, as katie gornall reports. cut off from the rest of the world, it has been a summer of cricket like no other. this is england's six test match in seven weeks and the last will be played in salesforce. england were given little time to adjust to the conditions. in steamed pakistan bowlers, sending both opening batsmen to the shelter of the pavilion before lunch. the swimming bowl and the antidote swinging bass. just as england and joe root were finding that rhythm pakistan and naseem shah found something special. removing holy pope. for we get down, england needed stability.

22—year—old zak crawley a nswer needed stability. 22—year—old zak crawley answer the call, scoring his first test century with consummate care. one for the cameras if not the crowd. england picked up the pace as jos buttler came to the wind. a partnership of over 200 rounds the headlines belonged to one man. as it stands, this is the last test of the year and stands, this is the last test of the yearand zak stands, this is the last test of the year and zak crawley has made a lasting impression. katie gornall, bbc news. no wonder he was smiling. a good night for crawley but not for former chelsea manager, antonio conte, and a host of ex premier league players as inter milan were beaten by spanish club, sevilla, in a thrilling europa league final. a frantic opening 35 minutes saw inter lead. sevilla hit back twice. before diego godin levelled for inter, 2—2 at the break. then with extra time and penalties looming it was a mistake from one of those premier elague stars, romelu lukaka, deflecting a shot into his own net. as sevilla claimed the title for a record sixth time. inter‘s wait for a

trophy goes into a 10th season. if you thought that was unlucky, spare a thought for glasgow city this morning, as their hopes of reaching the women's champions league semi finals for the first time were ended in brutalfashion. the part timers, who only resumed training last month, were thrashed 9—1 by two—time winners, wolfsburg. four goals in the first half and five in the second for the german champions. tonight arsenal play paris st germain in the last 8. hoping for a better result than that one. now naga, you know how hard it can be when you're out playing golf, then the wind and rain picks up. well, spare a thought for the whole field at the women's british open. scotland's catriona matthew here and welsh golfer, becky morgan, are the leading british players, on five over par. that's six shots off the lead. in fact, only one player

is under par overall after the first two rounds — daniela holmqvist of sweden, who leads on one under. it is very odd being in the middle of august and you can see woolly hats being born. it was so lovely. and those players who do not often play on those elite courses and i think the defending champion has already missed the cut. i kind of like it to formula one when you see the drivers in the wet. you really see the talent come to the fore when you have to deal with your game but conditions as well. after more than five months, rugby union's pro 14 returns later with three huge derbies as scarlets, edinburgh and leinster host their local rivals. in the premiership, leaders exeter chiefs took another step towards their fifth final

in a row as they came from behind to beat sale 32—24. stuart hogg there with one of four tries as the chiefs made it two wins from two since the restart. the wasps and bristol also won. saracens v harlequins is the first of three matches this afternoon. and finally if you're looking for strength, someone who doesnt get fazed by the big occasion. a fearless individual. i think we've found him, over in the usa, sat in the stands at oakland athletics stadium, in major league baseball. yes, that's a bear taking a ball square in the face. and didn't flinch. he's made of tough stuff. was someone in the back? no, it is just the empty stands as a result of covid—19 restrictions so

they are feeling the stands making it look packed. there is one thing to be gained by not being in the stands currently because of everything that is playing out and i think you witnessed it just that, is playing out and i think you witnessed itjust that, the dangers of being in a stadium. thank you very much. the headlines are coming up, we will be back with you shortly. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. hundreds of thousands of people in parts of the north west of england are back under strict lockdown measures as officials

attempt to slow the rising spread of coronavirus. from today, residents in oldham, parts of blackburn and pendle, are no longer allowed to mix with anyone from outside their own household. workplaces, childcare facilities and businesses, including restaurants and pubs, will remain open. the manchester united captain harry maguire is expected to appear in a greek court this morning in connection with a disturbance at a bar in mykonos on thursday. the 27—year—old was taken by boat to the neighbouring island of syros yesterday. two other men were also arrested. greek authorities say police officers were assaulted, but the precise charges against the footballer aren't known. harry maguire's lawyer said he denied the allegations against him. tourists returning to the uk from croatia, austria or trinidad and tobago will now have to self—isolate for two weeks. new quarantine restrictions came into effect this morning at 4:00am. many travellers had to pay for extra flights to make it home before the

deadline. california is struggling to contain huge wildfires burning forests and homes, leading to the governor to appeal for help from canada and australia. at least 175,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, and six people are known to have died. more than 12,000 firefighters are battling the blazes. 500 jobs are at risk after sta travel went into administration yesterday. the company, which specialises in student and backpacker travel, has 50 stores across the uk and has been a presence on the high street for nearly 40 years. it's the latest travel firm to suffer directly from the severely reduced number of flights due to the coronavirus pandemic. time to see what is happening with the weather. windy! did you see those pictures of the golf in scotland? it is really, really blustery, and scotla nd it is really, really blustery, and scotland didn't even get the

strongest of the winds. they were further west and south across the uk. it will be blustery again today, but not as windy as what we had yesterday. we are going to call it breezy, with a few showers today. this is what has been for the last few days. basically a big low and little low pressures within the low pressure, spinning around in vortices there, those gusty winds and heavy showers. that is the u nsettled and heavy showers. that is the unsettled weather we have been having. the big low pressure system is still with us, moving into the norwegian seed today, but you can see that it extends quite far, even into ireland and the south—west of the uk. so we are still under the influence low pressure meeting of the screen there, closer to lower, and the breezes still pretty strong. today we are talking around 40 miles an hour gusts, still windy for august. but i think the weather itself will not be too bad. plenty of sunshine around, a day with scattered showers and those fast moving cumulus clouds in the sky. 22 in london, high teens in the north.

you can see weather showers are through this evening. there will be some downpours by the time we through today. tonight, a case of clear spells, lowe's will probably dip14 degrees, 11 clear spells, lowe's will probably dip 14 degrees, 11 in the north. the following night will actually be quite a bit colder, a touch of frost in scotland, believe it or not. you will notice that on sunday there are not too many of these white arrows across the uk, indicating wind. so lighter winds, for sure. plenty of sunshine in the south of the country but in the north, a little bit further north, northern ireland, the la ke further north, northern ireland, the lake district, yorkshire, i think we are infor lake district, yorkshire, i think we are in forfurther showers. talking about showers and wind, it does look as though there is another spell of very wet and windy weather, sometime may be late monday, tuesday, into wednesday, the jet stream may be late monday, tuesday, into wednesday, thejet stream is may be late monday, tuesday, into wednesday, the jet stream is again going to set this low pressure in a frenzy. it is going to send it right across the uk, and i think again we are infora across the uk, and i think again we are in for a spell of unusually windy weather. but monday

itself, but is not looking too bad at all. light winds, a bit of rain, but behind me, this is the next sort of atla ntic behind me, this is the next sort of atlantic storm. how windy is it going to get, we can't say for sure just yet. but it is going to be another unsettled spell of weather next week, and we will probably see scenes like this again across many western and southern parts of the uk. so not a bad day today and tomorrow, then monday is not too bad either. three good days, i think, overall. that's it. back to you. three out of five i can take, not bad! just over half. time now for a look at coronavirus: your stories from bbc news. welcome to coronavirus: your stories, a program about how covid—19 is changing lives around the world.

i'm philippa thomas and this week we're looking at hotspots, places in the world where the threat of coronavirus remains stark, where people still feel a real sense of emergency. very often when we talk about this virus, we talk about statistics, the numbers of rising infections. the stories, stories of grief and despair and of resilience, often get overshadowed. today, we hear one of those stories from the united states which still leads the world in terms of covid infections and deaths. when angela kender lost her mother to the virus injune, she started a project to commemorate her, presenting their pictures to lawmakers in missouri to ensure, in her words, that loved ones are being acknowledged. we'll start with by far

the hardest hit country in africa — south africa, where a state of emergency was called as covid—19 cases shot up past half a million. those restrictions have now been lifted, partly to try to revive a flagging economy. there's a real problem with rising unemployment and even hunger. but some of the fastest reactions to these multiple crises has come not from the authorities but self organising groups. they‘ re called ‘community action networks' or cans. we've been hearing from public sector doctor and health systems activist leanne brady, and community organiser nadia mayman, who've come together in the network cape town together. this is a health crisis of course with those social economic impact of this health crisis is really, really intense, and i mean, in the work that we've been doing, certainly, those kind of consequences of the crisis have been hugely difficult

to manage during the lockdown. many people have been without income, without access to food, some without access to water as well. and nadia, what have you been seeing, what do you think has been most difficult? i think for our community that is basically a working class community, the assistance from the state has not been forthcoming and as a result, our people felt that they would die of hunger rather than of the disease, and that has made it extremely difficult for us because we've had to respond in various ways. when you tell me some people fear they might die of hunger, some of our viewers might think, ‘cape town, the cape town area is wealthy, what's going on?’ that is not our daily lived realities on the ground. we have got areas where unemployment is rife and on top of that, we were faced

with this pandemic and it has been extremely difficult for community— based organisations to respond during this difficult time at the best of our ability without any aid. so, leanne, tell us more about what you've been doing within cape town together to deal with these actual realities. the first thing to say to build on what nadia said is of course, cape town is an extremely divided city and what covid—19 did is it shone a light on and amplified the deep inequalities that we have in our society that are long—standing and historical. and cape town together kind of emerged in this context. so it was kickstarted by a group of social activist, community organisers and public health professionals as a rapid community—led response to covid—19. it is made up of self—organising neighbourhood—based groups who are taking action in their own local neighbourhoods, and many of us are part of the cans in our

neighbourhood. so for example, i'm part of the salt river can and nadia is part of the bonteheuwel can. while we take action in our local, our local neighbourhoods, we also seek to connect across the city because in a city as divided as cape town, organising across race and class and social divides is extremely important always, especially at a time like this. what kind of actions have worked best? there is a huge multitude of things that have happened. because each neighbourhood is different, there is no—one size fits all. and people have been responding in different ways based on what challenges they face, based on the challenges we face in our own neighbourhoods, and that has ranged from mask

making to mobilising around access to water, to setting up community care centres, to going door to door with pamphlets safely to kind of spread information and awareness. so really, the kinds of actions we have seen have been, yeah, have been incredibly powerful and incredibly daring. there are also been phases of actions. for example, in the beginning when we were all still learning about what covid—19 was and what it meant for us as a society, there were a lot of activities that focused on mobilising around awareness activities. but after the hard lockdown, as food and security became such a challenge for so many people in the city, people started delivering food parcels. when food parcels couldn't go far enough, people set up community kitchens and hundreds and hundreds of community kitchens have sprung up across the city where people are cooking, often in their own homes, for their neighbours. what we now see is more and more cans working to set up sustainable food systems to keep these community kitchens going. we've also seen very powerful actions of providing covid care at the neighbourhood level. so with something like covid—19, 85% of people don't

need hospital care but they still need care, and because many people in cape town are unable to isolate in their own homes, staying home safely if you have covid becomes incredibly difficult. nadia, this sounds like a remarkable collaboration, how has it felt to you the way things have come together? for us as a community, it has been absolutely amazing. there's no doubt that we as a community would've responded in our own little pockets but having been part of the cape town together network has strengthened us with regard to, and notjust resources, but also education and working together across race and class and spatial divides which leanne has highlighted. and one of our desires is that post—lockdown and post? covid, that we can continue working across these divides to building

a better society for all. nadia, i remember reporting on the great hope that came with the beginning of the true multiracial democracy in south africa, that sense of optimism, there's been so much turbulence since, i wonder if you can put it in some perspective for us. does this bring back some of the optimism for you? it does in many ways. post—apartheid i— and this is my personal opinion, that we were enthusiastic and were looking forward to a better south africa. 25 years plus down the line, a lot of things have changed but a lot of things remain the same, especially for poorer communities, you know. nothing

has changed for us. we are living in the same conditions, and maybe worse. we are afflicted with more challenges than we were before, meaning that gangsterism and drugs has taken its toll on many communities. the unemployment, the dropout rate of school—goers has increased greatly, our youth doesn't have alternatives and there are no opportunities for the young. we've been saddened by what we've seen not happening and what was promised to us many, many years ago. and it seems that the rich are getting richer and the poor is remaining where they are and our system of inequality isjust getting deeper and deeper. leanne, what do you think government, the authorities can learn from the way that these community action networks have come together and have generated results? quite often we see top—down solutions being developed very

far away from the places where they will be implemented and from the people whose liveswill be affected. i am cooking food for the whole community so every day at 12:30pm, they have a dish. it doesn't matter what food there is to cook, i cook. this is my family cooking for our neighbourhood. something that my mum's been doing ever since i was born, she loves cooking. the collective energy and the collective wisdom that we've all drawn on as part of this movement has really been quite extraordinary in this time of crisis. i think what we've seen over the last five months is an incredible people—led, community—led movement. but of course, wider structural change is also needed. and i think the kind of deep inequalities have always been placed at the forefront of this time. so it is like covid—19 is teaching us many things

and it is important that we listen to those things. doctor leanne brady and nadia mayman from the network, cape town together. you're watching coronavirus: your stories, a program about how covid—19 is changing lives around the world. i'm philippa thomas and this week we're looking at global hotspots. next, we'll go to the us midwest to the state of missouri where angela kender has been gathering portraits of those who have died from the virus since she lost her own mother who was taken ill in her nursing home. she went into the hospital on may 31, it was the second time that she had gone. on may 20, she went for the first time and she had shortness of breath, rapid heart rate and a fever, but she was testing negative and i talked to the hospital staff and said, you know, this doesn't make sense,

she has all the symptoms but you are telling me that she is negative and they said, "yeah, the tests are only about 70%—80% accurate, and you should expect her to switch to positive at any time." and she stayed at the hospital for a few days and was tested a few more times, each time she was negative and then they released her for a few days and then she went back on may 31. that was a sunday night and then at that point she was positive and admitted into the icu. and as she got worse, you to take some very difficult decisions about a ventilator, for example. my mom had always said that she did not want to be kept alive by a machine, so a true ventilator was not an option. where she ended up was what's called a bipap machine, which forced air in and forced air out. as they put it on her,

she was fighting to get it off, she did not want it on her, so eventually when they said, you know, she's just had such low oxygen for so long and she is not a good candidate to recover from this, you can leave the bipap on for days, weeks, or you can take it off and she would die within15—20 minutes, so, i chose to let them take it off of her onjune 6. were you able to be with her? no. they let me videoconference with her, so, she went in on sunday night, i got to videoconference with her on tuesday and wednesday. tuesday, i thought she was going to be ok, she was talking, putting together full sentences, and then wednesday it

was totally different, she wasn't coherent anymore and it was very scary and i knew we had a really serious problem. and that was the last time i got to talk to her where she was responsive. and then on saturday, that's the day that we took the bipap off, they let me videoconference with her again just so i could say the things that i wanted to say to her. and she didn't respond anyway, not even a finger twitch, nothing. she wasn't. .. there wasn't any more in her. they said that i could have gone in, i could have gotten completely decked out and gone in, but then i would have needed to quarantine and at the time i had a three—month—old

baby and a four—year—old son, and i could not risk, i couldn't be away from my three—month—old for weeks and i couldn't risk, you know, hurting my immediate family and my home, so... angela, i really appreciate you telling us about what you've been through. i wonder what you would like us to know about your mother and her life, dr gaye griffin—snyder. she was a licensed clinical therapist here in missouri and i've had just so many people reach out to me after learning that she passed away telling me how she truly saved their lives, was such an amazing mentor for them. so, she did amazing good for people. for me, she was a single parent and i'm her only child, so she was literally

my everything. she taught me how to have fun, how to be strong. how to keep going when you're scared, and that's what she had always done. you, then, designed a project to remind others that those who die from covid—19 are individuals and they are beloved. tell us a bit about your project, angela. this pandemic has been scary, and even before i knew someone who had lost their life to it, it was scary. but then, when my mother passed away and i couldn't mourn the way that i normally would have mourned, i couldn't see my family safely, i felt really, like, isolated and i started thinking about how many of us out there that feel

the same way. i wanted to put, like, have these people represented. have it not be for nothing. put faces to the numbers that just keep going up every day and we just talk about it like it's not that big of a deal, and it's a huge deal. so i started posting in the support groups on facebook about wanting to gather pictures of missourians who had passed away from covid and take them to the capital, because our state government is having a special session last weekend the week before, and they were not addressing covid—19. that's probably the only thing that they should have been addressing in a special session, but they weren't. so i wanted to take those pictures and i wanted to make them see the faces, what we are really losing, and hope that that would encourage them to do the absolute bare

minimum basics, which isjust require masks. it's not hard. how did they respond? well, i was very lucky in that i was able to have a press conference where i got to give a statement and get some media attention which, that part went very well. i head also printed out what i call flyers for each person that was shared with me that had their picture, their name, their age if i got it and their story, a brief story about them, and i took those to the top elected officials' offices. unfortunately, the front office staff at each one of the top elected officials told me that that official was

not there. so i had to give my message and the flyers to front office staff and hope that they will convey it the way that i want it to be conveyed. so that part did not go as i had hoped but i will be going back. and so, when i go back, i will work again to get face to face time with these people. angela, you're telling a number of stories. can you share anything with us that particularly stayed with you from all these different family memories that you are being sent now? what got me the most was a girl that reached out to me. she's 28 and her brother is 25, and herfather died, he was

young, healthy, and her saying to me, "my brother and i, we needed so much more time with him. we had so much more to learn from him." and it hurts me and i know that there are so many people in this country, in this world, everywhere, that have lost people prematurely and they are scared to leave their homes because they know what this virus can do, they've seen it. and they feel that they're not being heard. we've had our loved ones taken from us prematurely, and people won'tjust put on a mask to protect each other and that's offensive. it's a slap on our faces because we have lost one of the most important

things in the world to us. sharing these sorrowful stories, you are putting yourself through a lot. yeah, it's extremely painful to take on, learn these stories and be trying to deliver this message in a way that actually invokes change, but after being at the capitol last week and seeing how our leaders and their staff are behaving, i'm angry now, and that anger is propelling me to keep going. how do you know that what you are doing is helping? well, i don't know that it's helping my overarching goal of getting our leaders to mandate masks and things that will keep us safe, but i know for sure that i am helping the families that

have reached out to me. they have thanked me for being strong enough for them to make their person's story known, and notjust a number, so if i don't win in this battle, if you will, with the state to try to get them to protect us, i at least know that i have help to these families that have reached out to me feel like it wasn't for nothing, and that there's more people out there that are experiencing what they are experiencing, and they are not alone. our thanks to angela kender, and for her courage in sharing her emotions with us. she is determined that her mother and others should be remembered not as numbers or

statistics, but as individuals who lost their lives to covid—19. i'm philippa thomas, thank you for watching coronavirus: your stories.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. hundreds of thousands of people in three areas of north west england are under tighter lockdown measures from today in an attempt to combat rising coronavirus cases. the manchester united captain, harry maguire, will appear in court in greece this morning. he's been in police custody since a disturbance at a bar on thursday.

sta travel becomes the latest high street firm to fall victim to the pandemic, putting around 500 jobs at risk. england's zak crawley will hope to turn a maiden test century into a double hundred when he resumes on 171, with england in control against pakistan on day two of the final test in southampton. and not quite as windy today as it was yesterday. overall, not a bad day for most of us, with sunshine and a few showers. it's saturday, the 22nd of august. our top story. parts of north west england are facing tighter lockdown restrictions from today amid rising concern over the increase in cases of covid—19. the health secretary matt hancock said the targeted measures were aimed at preventing a second peak of the virus. here's what has changed. from today, residents in oldham as well as those in parts of pendle and blackburn, can no longer socialise with anyone from outside their own households. there's a new lower limit of 20 people allowed to attend

weddings orfunerals. people are also being encouraged to not use public transport unless essential. workplaces are unaffected, as are childcare facilities, and other businesses including pubs and restaurants can continue to operate. elsewhere in the north west, from wednesday, those living in wigan, rossendale and darwen will see a relaxation of restrictions there, as cases continue to fall. in another development, northampton has now become a so—called "area of intervention," where local officials will visit households and encourage people to take extra care. and in birmingham, a rise in infections means the city is now on the government's watch list. it's been designated an "area of enhanced support," which allows additional measures such as further testing and more local contact tracing.

we can speak to our reporter yunus mulla, who's in oldham for us this morning. yunus, how have people there been reacting to these extra measures? here in oldham, people have had to live with these extra restrictions for a number of weeks now. the fear was that the next step would be a full lockdown, but the measures that have come in place from today are not that. people can still go shopping, they can still go to work, so shopping, they can still go to work, so they have avoided that full lockdown, so there is a huge sigh of relief among many people. including the council here, who say that it would have been an economic catastrophe if non—essential businesses had to close. they had been working with the government, this new approach is far more targeted. here, they have had a lot of work done in the communities and they say the message is getting

through with those infection rates coming down in recent days. having said that, there is still a lot of confusion, if you speak to businesses, they say that is what people are saying to them, they are confused over what those rules are, exactly. now, looking around the greater manchester area, greater manchester police say they have become increasingly frustrated at people breaching those lockdown restrictions that are in place already. overnight in oldham, for example, they were called to a party involving teenagers, around 30 people were there. they were also called to two other incidents in swinton, child's birthday party where there were three families in a private garden and also another house party, where there were up to 50 people. so clearly the message, there are concerns that this message is not getting through. we'll be joined by the leader of oldham council, sean fielding,

here on breakfast at around 8:10am. the manchester united captain, harry maguire is expected to appear in a greek court this morning in connection with a disturbance at a bar in mykonos on thursday. two other men were also arrested. greek authorities say police officers were assaulted, but the precise charges against the footballer aren't known. harry maguire's lawyer said he denied the allegations against him. for more on this we can speak to journalist anthee carassava, who is in the greek capital athens this morning. anthee, what will happen this morning? well, what is going to happen in the next couple of hours, we expect harry maguire to appear before a local prosecutor on the island of syros. it is not clear whether he will go ahead with the testimony or whether he will seek some kind of a

postponement, 24 hours, to get that testimony together. i am speaking to one of his lawyers, and she said thatis one of his lawyers, and she said that is a possibility. everything is possible at this point. the importance of this particular procedure is for the prosecutor to weigh the severity of these offences and the charges that have been brought forward by the police officers, three police officers who we re officers, three police officers who were assaulted, costed, allegedly by harry mcguire and his friends. just to give you an idea, he is facing, he is being accused of assaulting these police officers, causing bodily harm, verbal abuse, harassment in public and attempting to bribe a law officer. that is quite a lot of offences, and if you

rack them all up, that means he could be facing up to three years in prison. if the prosecutors see that there is cause for a criminal investigation, then that is what will be lodged today. if not, and if he or she, the prosecutor, says that these are misdemeanours, then we may see a quick and speedy trial for this football captain as early as monday or tuesday. thank you very much for taking us through that. new quarantine restrictions for people returning from croatia, austria or trinidad & tobago came into effect this morning. a two week self—isolation period is now mandatory. that happened at 4am. we can speak now to europe correspondent gavin lee, who is in split in croatia. gavin, iam lee, who is in split in croatia. gavin, i am looking at those wonderful blue skies you have there.

looks magnificent. but croatia is smarting from the decision made by the uk government. tell us more? we have heard in the past 24 hours from croatian airline authorities that more than 1000 british tourists, or at least more than 1000 additional passengers, last—minute passengers, glue from the airport to the uk, assuming that many of those were trying to get back. there were also two additionalflights trying to get back. there were also two additional flights laid on to help cope with the demand in people, and the last flight to the uk last night, to make it in before four o'clock this morning, madejust before midnight. i got a text message from one family who said there was cheering, clapping and cheering when they set off stop at the sheer relief that they had made it. but there are about 16,000 british tourists still in croatia, and many people we spoke to in the last 24 hours couldn't make it back, either because they couldn't afford a ticket, it was too expensive, or the flights were full.

now, the croatian government has said it will lobby the british government for the next few days to see if they can get back on the safe list. but i have been here, our team has been here, looking at the cases rising and looking at the cases rising and looking at the issues they have got, and from the standpoint that doesn't seem and from the standpoint that doesn't seem likely anytime soon. gavin, thank you. the head of the world health organization says he hopes the coronavirus pandemic will be over in under two years. speaking in geneva on friday, tedros ghebreyesus said the spanish flu of 1918 took two years to overcome, but current advances in technology could halt the virus "in a shorter time." more than 800,000 people globally have died from covid—19 since the start of the outbreak. so we hope to finish this pandemic before, less than two years. especially if we can put our differences together, and with

national unity and solidarity, that is really key with utilising the available tools to the maximum and hoping that we can have —— have additional tools like a vaccine, i think we can finish it in a shorter time, then the 1918 flu. sta travel is the latest company to enter administration as a direct result of the pandemic, putting 500 jobs at risk. it was a familiar presence on the high street for nearly 40 years, specialising in student travel, but the decline in long—haul trips proved too much for the firm to overcome. greg mackenzie reports. it was the company which grew out of a student travel business, specialising in trips for young people, including gap years, backpackers and volunteer projects. but it's the latest high street chain to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. sta travel has more than 50 branches across the uk, but in the past six years it has

seen its profits dramatically fall. now, add that with a lack of money coming into the business, because fewer people are travelling, or simply choosing to book their holidays elsewhere, the company has simply decided to call it a day and cease trading. 500 jobs are now at risk. a big company, and it's horrible to see another casualty of this crisis in the uk travel industry, which is crying out for urgent, sector—specific support. a spokesperson for the association of british travel agents said this will "send a shockwave through the industry, bringing to life the very real pressures that travel is under at the moment." it's hoped the majority of flights and holidays sold by sta will be protected by the atol scheme, which protects holiday bookings. it has directed customers to its website for further advice. meanwhile, sta's parent company, based in switzerland, said the pandemic had brought

the travel industry to a standstill. at a time when you have literally no money coming in, just a whole series of demands for refunds, clearly the parent company, a swiss—based firm, had to look at the future and just decided that there was no chance of business coming back at anything like the necessary amount before next year. with a combination of high—street rents, a lack of income and demands for refunds, particularly when the uk's list of quarantine countries can change so suddenly, it's unlikely sta will be the last casualty in this new age of infection. greg mckenzie, bbc news. california is struggling to contain huge wildfires burning forests and homes, leading to the governor to appeal for help from canada and australia. at least 175,000 people have been

forced to flee their homes, and six people are known to have died. more than 12,000 firefighters are battling the blazes. hospitals in england carried out nearly 45,000 operations on children and teens last year to remove rotting teeth. that's nearly 180 every day and it cost the nhs more than £40 million. health officials now fear lockdown will drive up levels of tooth decay as youngsters snack on more sugary foods while at home. the local government association predicts poorer communities will be the hardest hit. a giant panda at the smithsonian national zoo in washington has set a new record, becoming the oldest panda in the us to give birth. this is mei xiang soon after giving birth to her cub. there had been some concern that the baby may not survive because of mei's age — she's 22 years old. but all seems to be well. the zoo tweeted she was "nursing her cub and cuddling it

close." because they are absolutely tiny when they are born, aren't they, pandas? i can see, i guess because she was... they are really, really small. really small. well done to her. small music venues across england will be celebrating this week, as they receive a share of some much—needed money to help them cope with the impact of coronavirus. the emergency grassroot music venues fund will be shared across 135 sites, including famous clubs such as the troubadour in london. here's lizo mzimba with more. artists ranging from chrissie hynde to paul young, and bands ranging from motorhead to u2, have played here at the horn in st albans. it's one of 135 music venues across england that are receiving emergency grants from the government. the money's been welcomed by hard—hit venues that might otherwise be facing closure over the next few months. after that, though, there's still uncertainty.

whether it's going to be enough long—term, i doubt it. because we're never going to get back to 100% normality very quickly, so i would think there would have to be extra funding put in place going forward from march, spring, next year, going into next year. smaller grassroots venues are seen as an essential part of the industry. places that are receiving the emergency cash include modern venues like camp and furnace in liverpool, and historic bush hall in london, once a rehearsal space for the likes of the who and cliff richard, more recently used for socially distanced gigs which could then be viewed by fans. sites the government has decided need priority funding. it's over £3 million that we are giving to those venues who are right up against the wall now, and need for cash, before the allocation of the full amount, £1.57 billion, a record investment in our culture.

that figure of more than £1.5 billion is the total allocated to the government's culture recovery fund, which aims to help areas including the performing arts and theatres, museums, galleries and independent cinemas, all coping with the impact of coronavirus. lizo mzimba, bbc news. with us now is ally wolf, the manager of the clapham grand, one of four venues to receive the maximum grant from the government to keep its doors open. good morning to you. thank you for joining us. when did you hear of this news and what difference will this news and what difference will this money make? we heard about it a week ago and it will make an enormous difference for us to get as over one of the many hurdles presented to us since covid—19 struck. how? when you

open, what you will do with staffing? immediately it lets us settle some of our creditors which we needed to trade with. and it gives us a window of about six more weeks to know we are secure to start putting in plans to reopen and apply for further funding to secure the business into 2021 and eventually out of this situation. tell me about clapham grand, how many used to hold in terms of audience and how that has changed? we are 1250 capacity and now we have 200 people so a colossal reduction in our ability to trade. we have been lucky to be able to reform the vendor to be seated in line with the guidelines and something that customers and performers

would love to bea customers and performers would love to be a part of but it is a 70% reduction in trade. it is incredible to get six weeks of security from the grant but many other venues are in worse situation and we will need consistent support for the next six months to a year. you were involved ina months to a year. you were involved in a trial to see how social distancing performances would work. we had frank turner, and others played live. it was fantastic. it was a learning curve in terms of the financial model and what we needed to do with our pricing to make it work for ourselves, as an actual product, the event was amazing, the atmosphere was brilliant and it gave us atmosphere was brilliant and it gave us full confidence know we can actually execute events that are wonderful customers can come to and enjoy as well giving performers

a show they want to be a part of. you say you have a lifeline for six weeks with this money, has it come in enough time for you to be confident that you will stay open? it has literally come at the last possible minute. i think if it had been a couple of weeks later, we would have been in a very, very hard position to get back running again and reopen gradually likely currently. we are incredibly grateful to the trust, the administration, everyone working together to help us get these grants stop they came at literally the last possible meaning and i think it gives people just a tiny bit of breathing space we need to get our ducks in a row to work out what strategies moving forward to open or some avengers to stay close until social distancing is relaxed. good luck with that, the manager

of clapham grand. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. for most of us it is not looking to bad. it is not going to be a dry day. showers in the forecast for today and tomorrow but one good thing is it will not be as windy as yesterday. the low pressure that has brought the wind and showers, really strong winds for some of us, has been here for about three days and it is starting to lope itself out and drifting to the north but still plenty of cloud circling around it and farfrom plenty of cloud circling around it and far from it. plenty of cloud circling around it and farfrom it. most plenty of cloud circling around it and far from it. most frequent showers across the northern half of the uk. later on in northern ireland. heavy showers moving through. some showers across the la ke through. some showers across the lake district. the further south and east you are, the drier the weather.

a good breeze today, fast—moving cumulus cloud. not a bad one for most of us. around 20 degrees mark. a fine most of us. around 20 degrees mark. afine and most of us. around 20 degrees mark. a fine and to the day across the south with clear skies. showers lurking around through the night but for most of us drive for most of the time. 14 degrees of the overnight low. the following couple of night could be colder, particularly sunday night. sunday is not going to be windy. it should be quite calm, relatively speaking but quite a few showers around northern ireland and the lake district and some parts of northern england as well but for the majority of the country, it should be right sunday. next week, a little outlook for you about what is coming our way. stronger winds again. outlook for you about what is coming ourway. strongerwinds again. not done with the gales. the jet stream picking up another weather

system and basically pushing it in our direction and sitting on top of us through tuesday and into wednesday so more through tuesday and into wednesday so more galeforce winds. monday is not looking at all. a few showers here and there but on the whole a decent enough day before all of this — look at that! that comes at sweeping away and once again very strong winds. for the next few days, saturday we have sunshine, a few showers as well. tomorrow, it is a mixture of sunny spells and showers and then next week, we will see that whether going downhill from around tuesday on was and went looking up. despite all the wind, temperature is still hovering in the 20s. not bad at all. six years ago, the life of the pakistan schoolboy, ahmad nawaz, changed forever

when his school was targeted by taliban gunmen. the attack left more than 130 children dead. ahmad, then aged 14, only survived by playing dead. the road to recovery has been long, but ahmad's life is about to change again — he's accepted a place to study at oxford university. bbc asian network's shabnam mahmood has been to meet him, where he lives now, in birmingham. that was a horrible day i will not be able to forget. the things that happened on that day. december 2014, over 130 children and their teachers died in an attack by the taliban on a school in pakistan. my friends been killed of course. that is one of the pictures i will never be able to forget. ahmad nawaz, who also lost his younger brother, was shot in the arm. it shuttered the

bone and had to go through 11 surgeries. so severe were his injuries, he was flown to birmingham hospital which specialises in trauma surgery. i met him shortly after his operation. he explained how he played there had to stay alive. i kept quiet and showed myself to them because the blood was so myself to them because the blood was so much and my shirt was fully read at my face also was fully read therefore they think that he has died. having made the uk his home, ahmad nawaz is determined to do well. now he has secured a place at oxford university to study philosophy. i feel extremely proud to have come for such an atrocity a few years ago and i feel like this isa few years ago and i feel like this is a success not only for myself but for all the people who got shot in that attack. i want to see every child going to school to make like

his friend, malala yousafzai, who also survived a taliban attack, ahmad nawaz is no less ambitious. also survived a taliban attack, ahmad nawaz is no less ambitiouslj ahmad nawaz is no less ambitious.” also would like to help people through my own organisation which i'm trying to set up now, to empower young people to eradicate this problem of extremism from the world. going to oxford university is a dream come true for the teenager who lived through one of the deadliest terror attacks. i think my survival was a miracle and now i am trying my best to make sure i can do something in the second chance that i have been given. shabnam mahmood, bbc news. it isa it is a very inspiring story. tighter measures aimed at preventing the spread of coronavirus have come into force across parts of northern england today, amid a rise in cases. we're joined now by the gp, doctor rachel ward.

how are things with you? good morning, iam how are things with you? good morning, i am doing well, thanks. what we know as of this morning, in a number of places, oldham for example, the rate increase restrictions and local lot measures, increase lockdown measures and people are frankly getting confused to what it means in practice and how it works. yes, absolutely. ithink we are at the stage now where we have so many different rules to follow and when we bring in lockdown restrictions in a specific area, one thing we are finding is that rules very indifferent lockdown areas and it is very confusing for people. i do not live in an area with increased lockdown but i wonder if in those areas, it has been made clearer. i hope so. you are not in one of those areas affected but have

you wised up yourself, in the hopefully unlikely event that it might happen that you might be best prepared if that happened? yes, obviously we have to constantly think in general practice of the different possibilities at the moment... i am sorry, doctor, we seem moment... i am sorry, doctor, we seem temporarily to have lost our link with doctor rachel ward. i will check with our guys we will get it back... no, and apologies. u nfortu nately back... no, and apologies. unfortunately stopped in her tracks. she works in newbury and she was saying one of the areas thus far that has not been subject to the changes but talking through some of the things people have to wised up about and what it means in practice and possibly the role of gps in those areas in advising and helping

people how they should change the way they are living. there have been new terms, enhanced restrictions, new terms, enhanced restrictions, new measures going around in the country like old ham, new measures going around in the country like oldham, nottingham... northampton. it is not in full lockdown but it is a place where they are increasing the powers of local authorities if they need to. those sort of margins. one of the things that will be happening in some areas is that local officers or council officers will be visiting homes to encourage people to test when necessary and take extra precautions but we will explain it all for you throughout the programme. we'll be talking to the leader of oldham city council later on. one of the public health leaders for lancashire. coming up a little later on. the

joy of breakfast is we can talk about something as serious as lockdown and the next thing we can talk about chickens. coming up on the show, how the humble chicken has become one of the must—haves of lockdown. one charity has had more than 50,000 requests for hens in the last six months. we'll find out why. stay with us, headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. hundreds of thousands of people in parts of the north west of england are back under strict lockdown measures as officials attempt to slow the rising spread of coronavirus. from today, residents in oldham, parts of blackburn and pendle, are no longer allowed to mix with anyone from outside their own household. workplaces, childcare facilities and businesses, including restaurants and pubs, will remain open. the manchester united captain, harry maguire is expected to appear in a greek court this morning in connection with a disturbance at a bar in mykonos on thursday. the 27—year—old was taken by boat

to the neighbouring island of syros yesterday. two other men were also arrested. greek authorities say police officers were assaulted, but the precise charges against the footballer aren't known. harry maguire's lawyer said he denied the allegations against him. tourists returning to the uk from croatia, austria or trinidad and tobago will now have to self—isolate for two weeks. new quarantine restrictions came into effect this morning at 4:00am. many travellers had to pay for extra flights to make it home before the deadline. the head of the world health organization says he hopes some rather remarkable numbers being bandied about intricate at the moment. good morning, john. yes, some really brilliant performances yesterday. i bet you england's zak crawley is still sound asleep this morning, and why not, after a stunning first ever test century put the hosts in control of their third and final

test against pakistan. england choosing to bat on day one, and that decision looked questionable when pakistan reduced them to 127/4 in southampton. step forward 22—year—old zak crawley, who steadied the ship and then some injust his eighth test. unbeaten on 171, england finished on 332/4, crawley and jos buttler making 205 of them. so how was he feeling as he approached that maiden ton? nervous from about 91, and to be honest, i was thinking about it all the way through yesterday. it is such a nice wicket to but on, and i know i had an opportunity to score 100 and didn't want to throw it away, so i was pretty nervous, actually, quite the whole way throughout. so, yeah, it was nice to get it. a great day for crawley. you wonder whether he will go on and

get past that double hundred. not such a good night for the former chelsea manager antonio conte and a host of ex premier league players, as inter milan were beaten by spanish club sevilla in a thrilling europa league final. a frantic opening 35 minutes saw inter lead. sevilla hit back twice, before diego godin levelled for inter. then, with extra time and penalties looming, the turning point, a mistake from one of those premier league stars, romelu lukaku, who stuck out a leg and deflected a shot into his own net. as sevilla claimed the title for a record sixth time. inter‘s wait for a trophy goes into a 10th season. if you thought that was unlucky, spare a thought for glasgow city as their hopes of reaching the women's champions league semi finals for the first time were ended in brutalfashion, who were thrashed 9—1 by two time winners wolfsburg. four goals in the first half

and five in the second for the german champions. perhaps not wholly unexpected, they are the tournament's only part—time team. so did well to reach the quarters. tonight arsenal play paris st germain in the last eight. after more than five months, rugby union's pro 14 returns later with three huge derbies as scarlets, edinburgh and leinster host their local rivals. in the premiership, leaders exeter took another step towards their fifth final in a row as they came from behind to beat sale 32—24. stuart hogg with one of four tries as the chiefs made it 2 wins from 2 since the restart. tonight, british heavyweight boxer dillian whyte takes on russian alexander povetkin. the prize on offer, a shot at the wbc world title and a potential fight with tyson fury. it's taking place in the back garden of boxing promoters matchroom hq in essex. whyte's been the number one challenger for the title since 2017 but hasn't had his chance yet. and he knows it's not going to be

easy later. what makes him dangerous is, he is looking at me thinking, this guy is an inexperienced guy. my experience, my championship level, compared to this guy, i can beat this guy. and thatis this guy, i can beat this guy. and that is what makes him very dangerous. he believes that he can beat me. and before that, ireland's katie taylor will aim to defend her world titles against belgium's delfine persoon. and finally, if ever there was an illustration of the impact tough conditions can have in golf, this was day two of the women's open at royal troon, where they've dealt with wind and rain, scotland's catriona matthew and welsh golfer becky morgan the leading brits — on five over par! only one player is currently under par overall, daniela holmqvist. in a sunny and dry boston,

masachusettes, scottie scheffler shot a 12—under par 59, just the 12th person in history to shoot under 60, one shot off equalling the lowest round in pga tour history. the entire field is under par. so in the us, but is the entire field under par, at the women's open, just one player under par, having to deal with all that wind and rain. i guess it goes to show how difficult it is when you are not just having to concentrate on your own golf game and what is going on around you, but you have to deal with those elements, the wind and the rain. that is the joy. did you enjoy it? it definitely affects your game, doesn't it? completely. it can be an easy game if you are playing in sunshine and calm conditions. but the joy in sunshine and calm conditions. but thejoy is, in sunshine and calm conditions. but the joy is, and in sunshine and calm conditions. but thejoy is, and when in sunshine and calm conditions. but the joy is, and when you really see the joy is, and when you really see the good players, it is the monster cope. you mentioned earlier it is the ones who are used to it, the scottish, the brits playing, they are used to those really windy conditions, whereas perhaps in warmer climes it is a bit of a shock. absolutely. until about the defending champion in the women's

open, he missed the cut, so won't be playing this weekend. struggling with those tough conditions. too much clothing, i think that is what it is. it is a bit restrictive. then layers is the answer. you'll remember not so long ago, the shortage of basic groceries on supermarket shelves. well, it's driven a unexpected demand for the humble chicken. ye, the egg shortage in particular had people thinking creatively, and a rehoming charity for hens has been inundated with more than 50,000 requests for the birds. holly hamilton is at a farm in clitheroe for us this morning. where other chickens? laughter. good morning, charlie. i have to say, release the hands. that is the authority i have around here at the moment. come on out. this is actually quite early in the morning

for them. they normally sleep until half past nine, but they have kindly agreed to come out early for us. we hope, anyway. this is the thing. during lockdown there were lots of people who decided to take up a new activity, may be a new sport, and for a lot of people they were may be putting something of that they have been thinking about for some time, and that seems to be keeping chickens. there are lots of reasons why people might want to keep chickens and hands. i mean, they are quite cute, from what i can see. yeah, they are pretty cute. they are quite easy to look after, from what i understand. i don't require any walking. and as you mentioned, at the start of lockdown there were shortages of toilet paper, flower, and legs. here we go. we have our own clucking egg machine, which you could potentially have in your own back garden. maybe that is the reason why so many of you have been flocking to get your hands on these birds over the past few months. well, to find out, i have been asking

some experts. they are perhaps not the most obvious choice of companion, but for many people left cooped up in their houses during lockdown, chickens are in demand. i started keeping chickens when my son was a toddler. he is now 17 and a bit. my main reason for keeping chickens is i wa nt reason for keeping chickens is i want us to connect our son with where our food comes from, want us to connect our son with where ourfood comes from, and i fancied having them as pets. he was com pletely fancied having them as pets. he was completely bird phobic. wouldn't touch them. thought their feet were creepy. like lots of people who have gone into chicken keeping during lockdown. over the last 17 years we have got more and more chickens and started a business, by doing hen keeping courses and setting up schools with chickens, and we started in our little 3—bedroom semi, and then we had to move here to accommodate my chicken

habit!m fa ct, to accommodate my chicken habit!m fact, one rehoming charity says it has had more than 52,000 requests for hands since lockdown began. chicken keeping has gone crazy. i mean, you cannot get chickens for love or money at the moment. everybody seems to want to keep chickens. it has never been quite as busy as it has been in these past three orfour months. busy as it has been in these past three or four months. you could say they are rarer than hen ‘s teeth at they are rarer than hen ‘s teeth at the moment. very much so! we have already seen a huge rise in the number of people at ten cats and dogs during lockdown, but the demand for chickens and hens could be for a very different reason. these are pets with benefits, and could answer the question, which came first? the chicken or the egg? allison adopted many and stitch at the beginning of lockdown. she and herfamily had been benefiting greatly from clark and collect. there is one very good reason to having chickens which you just mentioned. eggs. that must be

brilliant. yes, brilliant. they do one egg a day, each. as soon as we start getting eggs, the kids were eating much more eggs, because they are saying, can i have this one, you know, get it boiled for lunch, and it is gone. within a few hours of it being laid. the run that you see there was a rabbit run. the chickens have just taken over that. we can't just have them out in the garden all day, every day. it isjust, you know, it would be nice, they would love it, but they would destroy everything, i think. so love it, but they would destroy everything, ithink. so no love it, but they would destroy everything, i think. so no regrets, then? would you advise other people? yes, i love it. what is the best thing about having chickens? the best thing about it? the eggs. just seeing them in the morning, you open the door and they sort of talk to you, you know. they chirp, i am a bit crazy, really. i talk to them and they talk back. although they seem and they talk back. although they seem like an excellent addition to your household, chickens are not for everybody. having suitable

accommodation and outdoor space is vital, or you could be falling foul of the law. now, i havejust been now, i have just been told that chickens do not like rain very much. cani chickens do not like rain very much. can ijust chickens do not like rain very much. can i just say, chickens do not like rain very much. can ijust say, neither do i? i know exactly how you feel, ladies. 52,000 from one rehoming charity, you heard that figure. it is staggering. but it is not alone. well owns the farm here, will, this is remarkable, what we are hearing. this huge interest in chickens, why do you think this is? i think it is one of the things we re is? i think it is one of the things were a lot of people, their life expectancies, especially with the covid thing, they have decided to do things they were putting off. for everybody, it seems to be one of those dream things where they want to keep chickens, you know. it is a lifestyle thing. it has just been phenomenal. people helping out. lifestyle thing. it has just been phenomenal. people helping outm terms of the interest, i mean,

have been people that have people been ringing up, getting in touch? we get emails and phone calls practically every day. and you have a hen hotel here? yes, we look after other people's they go away and they can't find anybody responsible to help out, because it is a commitment.” think that is an important thing to mention. it is a big commitment. it seems like a great idea, you get your own supply, fantastic stop they are great fun like we have seen this morning, but you need the right facilities? yes, chicken coops, feeders, water is. like any other pet, it is a big responsibility. lots of people don't realise until they come, especially people that are new to chicken keeping. you know, we always talk things through with people and make sure they know how to handle the birds, and how to look after them properly. well, i appreciate that it is breakfast time and there are some hungry hands around here, so we will let you get on. we have spoken to some people who have taken up, i'm not sure what the hobby is, but they have started

taking care of hands. rebecca, you started out with three hands, how many do you have now?” started out with three hands, how many do you have now? i have 11 now. 11! what is lifelike as a hen mother? we love it. i have to children and it isjust mother? we love it. i have to children and it is just amazing. mother? we love it. i have to children and it isjust amazing. we get this responsibility to look after them, but as said before, it isa after them, but as said before, it is a huge responsibility. they can give you so much love and joy and they are so calming, they are not aggressive, they are lovely. but then you have to think about the responsibility and the realistic consequences of it. you mentioned your children, it is a great education for them as well, to see where their food is coming from?m is fantastic. they love going into the coop in the morning and checking how many eggs we have got. they love it, it is fabulous. they help you clean it out, get really involved. they have done a greatjob in lockdown, and have enjoyed having that responsibility to look after our chickens. do they have individual personalities? do you name them? yes, they are pets, so we name them? yes, they are pets, so we name all of them. every single one

of them has their own personality.” was saying yesterday, they do not respond to the names being called but they do recognise faces? they definitely do. when i pull up in the driveway they all come running with their wings flapping, chasing the children around the garden. what do your children make of them? they absolutely love them. they cuddle them, pick them up, and treat them like little dolls. my little girl rides around on her bike and puts one of them on the back of the bike. it is quite cute. this could be a novelty for some people? they are petsjust like our dogs, with wings. they are here forever. thank you so much. adele, you are from the british and welfare trust. —— hen. the safety is paramount? absolutely. we

make sure people have facilities in place. some people think a rabbit hole is adequate. which it is not. you need adequate. which it is not. you need a fox proof run and you need to feed them properly. it is very important that people look after them.” them properly. it is very important that people look after them. i will be chatting to get later on. these hens have become extremely popular but they do need to be looked after and you need the right facilities but more importantly, we need to come up with a name for them the best so far is plucked norris.” cannot help but hear that pitter—patter of the rain. is that what we are expect? i have to add, a friend of mine has called

a chicken and she is called christina eggulara. really raining. the showers have been spinning around this area of pressure for a couple of days. the good news is, today will not be as windy as yesterday. yesterday it was blowing a gale right across the country. low pressure moving towards the north—east of ours and behind it, the weather for most of us will not be that bad. the further east and south you are, the drier it will be or more likely you will hang on to sunshine and a few scattered clouds. parts of northern england and this

afternoon. the wind, it will eventually die down through tonight. temperatures will drop to 14 in london which is still pretty mild. 11 degrees in glasgow and edinburgh and tomorrow a day of sunshine and showers. through northern ireland, probably reaching the lake district. a few showers further south. some on the heavy side but the vast majority of the uk for tomorrow another decent day. 22 in london and fresher in scotland. next week, we are expecting a spell of very strong wind again. it has been windy for a few days now but it looks as though the jetstream is going to send another autumn like low in our direction. that is the rain, the jetstrea m direction. that is the rain, the jetstream spinning and other atla ntic jetstream spinning and other atlantic storm but that is not until tuesday, wednesday. it

means monday is not too bad apart from issue showers here and there and on balance i kind of ok day. 20 degrees on monday in the south. 16 in the north and then this weather system arrives and we will be seeing things like this. after quite a start to the week, tuesday and wednesday winds picking up once again. it's time now for this week's edition of click. welcome to click. i hope you

are doing ok. this year has felt really quite long so far. it is clear we still have a big problem is to face but let's not forget the global issues we were talking about even before the pandemic, particularly climate change. possibly one silver lining is the reminder that technology can and does solve some of our biggest problems and on click we have been lucky to see some amazing tech, tech that can change the world and even revolutionise it. we thought we would share with you some of our favourites from the last couple of years. i want to share with you a fact that i had not fully understood until i met climate scientist ed hawkins last year. now, i had known that our weather was getting worse and our sea levels

rising and we were emitting carbon dioxide and methane into the air at a running rate but what i do not fully understood is this, simply reducing greenhouse gas emissions will not bring global warming under control. in order to stop global warming, we need to do something very drastic indeed. if we end up in a world where emissions are zero and not increasing it in the atmosphere that will stabilise global temperatures at the point we do that. we would need to somehow remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. there are already ways of capturing co2 at source on its way out of power stations for example but this is not get it all by any means. what you need is

something to pull co2 back out into the air. what you need is something like this. it is called the artificial tree. the air passes through these filters which are made ofa through these filters which are made of a special material because of the c02 of a special material because of the co2 actually clings to this material as the air passes over it. once these filters are saturated with carbon dioxide, this whole thing moves down into a container of water with this particular material releases the co2 into a sealed container and them, congratulations, you have captured yourself some co2 from the air. this is the brainchild from the air. this is the brainchild from clouse at arizona state university. we realise this is a waste management problem. it was

very clear to me into the early 90s that sometime in the 21st century we would have to stop emitting. he was a first scientist to publish a paper suggesting capturing carbon was a feasible way of combating climate change. the problem was, no—one seemed to be listening. if you look at the climate change problem, in the 90s we had models telling us it was happening but you could not see it out in the real world except in the microscope. in the 2000 you could measure it, it was happening. in the teens, now you can see it happening even as a non— expert. climate has changed. in the next decade, it becomes loud and clear and start to hurt. and once it hurts, now what do we do about it stop he argues that since we are

failing to meet our targets for lowering co2 emissions, this is now unavoidable and now people are listening. we have put so much co2 into the air that we have to come back because we are thinking, we're thinking about having a period and this century in which we will have to ta ke this century in which we will have to take a hundred parts from million back. making that peace was absolutely fascinating and help me think about the different approaches we can take to tackling the different aspects of climate change. so as well as removing our emissions from the airand so as well as removing our emissions from the air and using greener energy technology, we can reduce the energy technology, we can reduce the energy use and reduce emissions produced by certain industries. one of the big ones is agriculture and

meat production. over the past few months, both kate and lara have been looking at alternatives to the food we eat. at beyond meet in la, they have designed the next generation of meat substitute by analysing it at a cellular level and then went hunting for enzymes, fats and proteins that behaved in the same way as elements of the meat. in this case extracted from peas, potatoes and beetroot for blood. i know it is not meet, just from thejuice it blood. i know it is not meet, just from the juice it feels like a burger. as well as a visual appeal, scientists here use and he knows to examine the components of aroma so they can compare it in the lab. —— e—nose. it is losing all

over my fingers. it is dripping down my hands. it is very burger like. you look at the amount of water we use. 99% less, half the energy. the emissions we provide are about 90% fewer emissions and lastly on land, we use 93% less land so if you have 100 acres, you can now grow on seven acres what you used to use all 104 stop there is still one major drawback for your average meat loving family. where a pack of b -- the price is much higher. for many switching to a meat free diet is

partly about sustainability and partly about sustainability and partly about sustainability and partly about better health but are these heavily processed foods achieving either goal? a lot of debate and uncertainty about if highly processed food is intrinsically bad for you or not. actually look at what it has done to the food on the way to you and how much energy is added and how many gluten is our produce. that is an essential thing. there is still a long way to go to produce an effective meat substitute that is both delicious and affordable but with a third of britain already stating they lead mainly vegetarian life, it is a booming market attracting a lot of investment to design the perfect heat replacement. two of the whole food industry more sustainable, we're also going to broaden our diets. so i have come here to copenhagen to

visit ikea's research and development labs space ta ke to research and development labs space take to see what they have in mind. —— space tech. we are having a douglas hot dog. we use carrots instead of sausages which we have approached in a mixture of apple juice and carrotjuice and then we have dried them in the oven for about1.5 have dried them in the oven for about 1.5 hours. they get this chewy kind of texture, kind of like meat ina kind of texture, kind of like meat in a way. a lot of what we have come up in a way. a lot of what we have come up with is plan b because we know turning to a vegan diet is simply the most sustainable thing you can do as an individual but besides that, we need some protein and we have explored everything in sex, not only because they are environmentally friendly but also because they are delicious. we have

explored svitolina the only challenge is it takes like algae. —— spirulina. going to add the carrot and our beetroot catch—up. spirulina. going to add the carrot and our beetroot catch-up. time for and our beetroot catch-up. time for a tasting. do you like it? it is not taste like a normal hotdog but it ta kes a taste like a normal hotdog but it takes a lot better. i would never be eating a hotdog. so many different tastes and they are all quite intense. ok, it is a bit messy eating on camera but ikea is also hoping to reduce its carbon

foot rent. introducing hypertonic farming. using food waste as fertiliser stock but we could all be getting a bit more creative without waste it seems. take leftover ground coffee for a start. because you only use 1% of the nutrients in the coffee grounds when you make a cup of coffee, we use some of our coffee grounds for short breads and others for growing mushrooms. will there be caffeine into them? will it keep me awake? i don't believe so. that is for a short version of click and a reminder of how tech can really change the world. check out the full version which is on iplayer right now. next week, we look at some of our other recent adventures and in the meantime you can catch

us on social media. thank you for watching and we will see you soon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. hundreds of thousands of people in three areas of north west england are under tighter lockdown measures from today in an attempt to combat rising coronavirus cases. the manchester united captain harry maguire will appear in court in greece this morning — he's been in police custody since a disturbance at a bar on thursday. sta travel becomes the latest high—street firm to fall

victim to the pandemic — putting around 500 jobs at risk. england's zak crawley will hope to turn a maiden test century. into a double hundred when he resumes on 171, with england four wickets down and in control against pakistan on day two of the final test. not quite as windy today as yesterday, overall not a bad day for most of us with sunshine and a few showers. most of us with sunshine and a few showers. it's saturday, the 22nd august. our top story. parts of north west england are facing tighter lockdown restrictions from today amid rising concern over the increase in cases of covid—19. the health secretary matt hancock said the targeted measures were aimed at preventing a second peak of the virus. here's what has changed. from today, residents in oldham as well as those in parts of pendle and blackburn, can no longer socialise with anyone from outside their own households. there's a new lower limit of 20

people allowed to attend weddings orfunerals. people are also being encouraged to not use public transport unless essential. workplaces are unaffected, as are childcare facilities. businesses including pubs and restaurants can also continue to operate. elsewhere in the north west, from wednesday, those living in wigan, rossendale and darwen will see a relaxation of restrictions there, as cases continue to fall. in another development, northampton has now become a so—called ‘area of intervention' where local officials will visit households and encourage people to take extra care. and in birmingham, a rise in infections means the city is now on the government's watch list. it's been designated an area of enhanced support — which allows additional measures such as further testing and more local contact—tracing. we can speak to our reporter yunus mulla, who's in oldham for us this morning. yunus, how have

people there been reacting to these extra measures? they have had some kind of extra restrictions here in place for a number of weeks. the fear was they could end up with a full lockdown. they now have a compromise, extra restrictions coming in force today are mainly social in nature and not economic so there is a huge sigh of relief amongst many people. it is not ideal but it is something they will have to live with. having said that, 12 people i spoke to have told me it has got quite confusing with the rule changes and they are not sure everyone would take these changes seriously. but the council here feels or hopes the messages much clear. they feared what

they called an economic disaster if nonessential businesses had to close. they have been working in communities, trying to spread the message of increased testing, there have been campaigns on social media encouraging people to stay safe. if you look at the picture in greater manchester, police say they have been called to more breaches of coronavirus restrictions. overnight in oldham, they were called to a party involving over 30 teenagers. they were also called to a party in swinton where three families were in a private garden and a large gathering of up to 50 people. fines we re gathering of up to 50 people. fines were issued on those occasions. there is concern the message is not getting through. thank you very much. the manchester united captain, harry maguire is expected to appear in a greek court this morning in connection with a disturbance at a bar in mykonos on thursday. two other men were also arrested.

greek authorities say police officers were assaulted, harry maguire's lawyer said he denied the allegations against him.for more on this we can speak to journalist anthee carassava, who is in the greek capital athens this morning. anthee what will happen this morning? absolutely, in the next hour, less than an hour in fact, we expect harry maguire and the other two to appear before a local prosecutor on the island to provide testimony in connection to this altercation and the allegations of assault. it is not clear whether he will be going ahead with the testimony or requesting additional time to prepare. we have heard in the last couple of minutes that the authorities here are ready to process him as fast as today which could mean we will see a solution.

what will happen today, by going to the prosecution, they will go through the deposition in the assault charges which have been brought to him by the officers, let me remind you that the offences harry maguire faces is assaulting a police officer, causing bodily harm, verbal abuse and harassment in public and he himself, unlike the other two, attempting to bribe a law officer. so there are quite a lot of offences which may lead to a criminal investigation but if the prosecutor dismisses some of them, then they may enter up as misdemeanours and we may be seeing a speedy child as early as 3pm we are hearing, locate —— local time. —— is

speedy trial. his lawyers have made no romanticised strategy, they have made no comments. they say the football player is denying all the charges facing him and that he will be making a public apology. thank you very much for taking us through all of that. tourists returning to the uk from croatia, austria or trinidad and tobago will now have to self—isolate for two weeks. new quarantine restrictions came into effect this morning at 4am. many travellers had to pay for extra flights to make it home before the deadline. the head of the world health organization says he hopes the coronavirus pandemic will be over in under two years. speaking in geneva on friday, tedros ghebreyesus said the spanish flu of 1918 took two years to overcome, but current advances in technology could halt the virus "in a shorter time". more than 800,000 people globally have died from covid—19 since the

start of the outbreak. so we hope to finish this pandemic before — less than two years. especially if we can pull our efforts together and with national unity and with global solidarity, that's really key with utilising the available tools to the maximum and hoping that we can have additional tools like a vaccine, i think we can finish it in a shorter time than the 1918 flu. sta travel is the latest company to enter administration as a direct result of the pandemic, putting 500 jobs at risk. it was a familiar presence on the high street for nearly 40 years, specialising in student travel, but the decline in long—haul trips proved too much for the firm to overcome. greg mackenzie reports. it was the company which grew

out of a student travel business, specialising in trips for young people, including gap years, backpackers and volunteer projects but it is the latest high street chain to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. sta travel has more than 50 branches across the uk but in the past six years it has seen its profits dramatically fall. add that with a lack of money coming into business because fewer people are travelling or simply choosing to book their holidays elsewhere, the company has simply decided to call it a day and ceased trading. 500 jobs are now at risk. it is horrible to see another casualty in the uk travel industry which is crying out for support. a spokesperson for bta said this will sound a shock wave through the

industry, bringing to life the pressure travel is under at the moment. it is hoped the majority of holidays sold by sta travel will be protected by the atol scheme which protects holiday bookings. it has directed customers to its website for further advice. meanwhile, sta travel‘s company in switzerland says the pandemic has brought the travel industry to a standstill. at a time when you have literally no money coming in, just a series of demands for refunds, clearly the parent company, a swiss—based firm, had to look at the future and decided there was no chance of business coming back at anything like the necessary amount before next year. with a combination of high street rents and lack of income and demands for refunds, especially when the uk list

of quarantine countries can change so suddenly, it is unlikely that sta will be the last casualty in this new age of infection. greg mckenzie, bbc news. the russian opposition leader has landed in germany for medical treatment after a suspected poisoning. alexei navalny has been in a coma since collapsing on thursday. russian doctors initially said he should not be moved, but then changed their minds and agreed to let him be taken to berlin. his supporters suspect he drank poisoned tea, and accuse authorities of trying to cover up a crime. hospitals in england carried out nearly 45,000 operations on children and teens last year to remove rotting teeth — that's nearly 180 every day, and it cost the nhs more than £40 million. health officials now fear lockdown will drive up levels of tooth decay as youngsters snack on more sugary foods while at home. the local government association predicts poorer communities will be the hardest hit.

a giant panda at the smithsonian national zoo in washington has set a new record, becoming the oldest panda in the us to give birth. this is mei xiang soon after giving birth to her cub. there had been some concern that the baby may not survive because of mei's age — she's 22 years old. but all seems to be well. the zoo tweeted she was "nursing her cub and cuddling it close". we can't actually see the club but everything is fine. do you want a couple of panzer facts? ones in captivity live up to 30 years which is the equivalent of 90 human years so is the equivalent of 90 human years so that animal is 66 years old. which is why

they are so worried. exactly. the reason we cannot see panda cubs is because they are around 100 grams when they are born, they are one 900th of an animal panda. we will go back to our elite story at the moment. let's get more now on the increased lockdown measures that some parts of england are facing. those living in some parts of the north west can't socialise with any other household, and northampton has been declared an ‘area of intervention‘. meanwhile birmingham has been added to the government‘s watch list following a rise in infections there. here‘s how some in the city have reacted to the news. iam not i am not surprised. a couple of weeks ago i was shocked how many young adult people were not wearing masks and wearing groups. young adult people were not wearing masks and wearing groupsm young adult people were not wearing masks and wearing groups. it is

inevitable. we have face masks with us. i think everywhere we have been while we have been here has been very careful until restrictions are being followed. everyone is wearing masks and social distancing, i have not seen anything which would worry me. with winter approaching and the virus still here, it is inevitable i guess. it is hard with children but outright where my mask and that is all you can do. keep safe and what —— wash your hands. keep safe and what —— wash your hands. we can speak now to sean fielding, the head of oldham city council, and dr mike tildesley, professor of infection modelling at the university of warwick. good morning to you both. let us begin with you, shown, what can and cannot be done now if you are resident in oldham?” cannot be done now if you are resident in oldham? i think the restrictions which will come into effect were cleared up

the grey areas around social mixing. we are now seeing that for the time period, now seeing that for the time period, no social interaction with anyone outside your household is acceptable. we are reducing the number of people at weddings and funerals. also encouraging people to only use public transport in essential circumstances. so those are the changes and hopefully they will be much clearer. and therefore much easierfor us in will be much clearer. and therefore much easier for us in the council and the police to enforce. mike, in your opinion what do measures like this, how do they impact on the infection rate and the number of cases. it is important to realise we are ina cases. it is important to realise we are in a delicate phase of the epidemic. the consequence of lockdown as we went into protect the nhs and save lives but as we ease out of it, there are a

lot of susceptible people in the population. as people start mixing more, we might expect infection rate to rise. a lot of the measures we have seen —— mall of the cluster so farare asa have seen —— mall of the cluster so far are as a result of connection between family groups which is why these measures are crucial, they should stop large—scale mixing within groups and between family groups and hopefully will prevent, if they are sensible and people adhere to them, larger scale in —— interventions being required down the line. the leader of city council at oldham, some of those restrictions are around avoiding using public transport except for essential travel, the numbers of people attending weddings, funerals,

limited to household members, but what the doctor referred to their was gathering in private homes. in a number of other local lockdown is, that has been suggested as the major source that has been suggested as the major source of transmission, how will you address that? well, stopping family mixing is one of the measures which has come into place and also we are using targeted intervention which includes things like doorstop testing, using community letters —— leaders to get the message over because so far communication has not been as successful as we would like and also being creative as to how we would like to share those messages. to get the message out to communities. we have been really creative in using this within

communities and also celebrities or whatever it might be to effectively target people and explain why the restrictions are so important to be followed. pa rt a restrictions are so important to be followed. part a sum and impart hope, this goes for the national government as well as. people should do the right thing but what if they do the right thing but what if they do not? what if they do not heed the effo rts do not? what if they do not heed the efforts you are making, what if they carry on doing the same thing they a lwa ys carry on doing the same thing they always do? part of our discussion with government which helped us avert local economic lockdown was increasing capacity of our enforcement team so we could take action when we had reports on households not following rules. while the majority of people are following the rules. people tell me they follow the rules and are frustrated about those who do

not. perhaps they are not as strict as they should be about following the rules so when we receive those reports we have additional capacity about enforcement compliance whether it is fines or closure or whatever. we have close one pub in the last 24 hours. quick question, kyle bartley has been in touch, looking at the announcement for oldham, you still approve the playing of team sports this weekend, can you explain the thinking? there are a number of points we need to provide clarity about. the announcement was leaked toa about. the announcement was leaked to a local newspaper at lunchtime before it was official. i am afraid today there is still —— still some clarity that we have to provide and protect ourselves. more

information will come out. we just encourage people to watch this space and i‘m hopeful by tonight it will be absolutely clear for everybody what they can and cannot do. on that theme of the clarity of message, what have we learned so far about how important it is that people understand and are able to adhere to what is required ? understand and are able to adhere to what is required? i think that is an important point. it is difficult, especially in this phase where different local areas are managing things differently. i will see action is important to engage local experts such schon and his team who understand the local community when it comes to putting on local measures. that is why we are seeing slightly different policies in different regions because they're being dictated so they are the best measures in order to manage

the epidemic locally but that sometimes makes it confusing for the general public where the rules different in one local authority compared to another which is white is extremely important clear messaging gets out there. it sounds from what schon has said oldham council are doing just that. it is important that people adhere to the measures in place because if they do not enlarge numbers, the overwhelming majority of people have been doing so but if they do not enlarge numbers, we might have to see more severe measures in the coming weeks. quick word from you sean fielding, can you clarify the timing, when these extra measures being put in place in oldham? since midnight tonight. so you are hoping the m essa g es tonight. so you are hoping the messages clarified throughout the day, that you and the government are

aligning that message? that is correct. we want to get our communication —— communication m essa g es communication —— communication messages out there on channel so people are clear. thank you both very much forjoining us. here‘s tomasz with a look at this morning‘s weather. he is ready to go. he is poised. i have got my clicker in my hand. the weather is going to be quite blustery today, not as we did yesterday, yesterday was blowing a gale across the uk. today the winds will be a bit lighter, still showers in the forecast. this has been spinning around the uk for a few days now. we still have to get through it today and even tomorrow with some leftovers of

the low pressure. this is what is happening today, a little weather front moving across northern ireland and into the north of england. a reasonable curl on the weather map. this rain pushing through belfast at lunchtime, reaching the lake district and in a number of western parts it is quite cloudy with showers around but overall, a mixed bag today. the further south and east, the drier the weather will be. the weather will be dry and bright for most of the time today, they are only showers, it is not a washout. temperatures in the low 20s in the south, high teens in the north. overnight they will drop to single figures in scotland, 14 degrees in the south. very mild nights in the south recently. here is sunday, the winds are later still. showers

moving through northern ireland and to the lake district and much of northern england. southampton and plymouth enjoy a beautiful sunday. a quick heads up for next week, not all week long but there will be some strong winds on the way. the jet strea m strong winds on the way. the jet stream will whip up a storm out in the atlantic, it will head our way and bring strong to gale force winds and bring strong to gale force winds and a really nasty spell of weather around tuesday or wednesday so monday is the calm, a bit of rain but not a bad day on the whole and then this next area of very unpleasant weather will be swinging our way, possibly as early as monday night into tuesday. so here‘s a summary night into tuesday. so here‘s a summary for the next few days. cooling off in the north. around 17

degrees but still in the 20s and the weather is quite changeable. that is it, back to you. thank you very much. it does not look too bad for the weekend, are these average temperatures. yes, 21 or 22 is the average in the south. despite the really strong winds the temperatures have been pretty good really. not bad at all. what are we doing next? the main story as the changes to some of the lockdown procedures for various parts in the north west of england, we are talking about oldham and we know there have been gradual changes. certain restrictions have been strengthened because of the number of cases there and also we know that birmingham has appeared on

the watch list for the first time. that is as stage diving. we will talk more about that later this morning. to avoid a new surge in cases, and if you needed reminding why that‘s so important, then our next guest can make that clear. 65—year—old mike pickering caught the virus at the peak of the pandemic in april, but is finally at home after spending 110 days in hospital. as he was being put into an induced coma, doctors warned him he may never wake up. coma, doctors warned him thankfully he did, and we‘re joined now by mike and his wife patsy. i like the welcome home sign, you have just got back after an ordeal. how are you? i am glad to be home, yes. i had a nice welcome party so it was really

nice. you must be so relieved, jealous what you as a family have been through? i understand there was an induced coma and your warranty might never wake up. yes, that is true. two or three times i was told it could go either way. at one particular point when his lungs were full of fluid, that was a scary moment but the doctors managed to get him drained off, loads of fluid and from then on he picked up. obviously such a relief, mick, you spent such a long time in hospital, 110 days. what was it like, what think —— matt butcher treatment like? the treatment was second to none. the hospital and all the words were

really brilliant. as you are aware, it is a long game in hospital. when i first started i could not walk or wash myself but then i moved to the rehab centre and everything came good. marvellous there, really good. i am so sorry, i called you mike at the beginning of the interview, very rude of me. all the interview, very rude of me. all the confusion of getting home and thatis the confusion of getting home and that is the last thing you need, someone that is the last thing you need, someone getting your name wrong, my apologies. that is all right. now you are home, some people are thinking that they are less worried about the effect the pandemic can have on them now, given what you have on them now, given what you have been through, what is your message about the precautions and the things they should

be doing? definitely, it hammers it home how covid—19 can affect your body. it affected my kidneys. they stopped working. it affected my lungs. the message is, stay safe. stop going in crowds. you see it on the television and in newspapers, they are all in the beaches in pubs, it is so important to keep that space and wear masks because if you get it like i did, it is horrific. it really is. patsy, i saw the expression on your face when charlie was asking, when you hear people saying, i am fit, i am young, i am fit and healthy. tell us how it feels as a family member

when one of your loved ones has this? to be honest, there were times when i thought i would end up a widow. this is not funny. they need to be aware that this is really serious, and that bug sticks to your lungs like glue, and it is notjust a matter of, lungs like glue, and it is notjust a matterof, 0k, lungs like glue, and it is notjust a matter of, 0k, we go and get it drained, not the case. when it gets you, and it gets you hard, you've got a battle, and i want people to stay safe out there, where the masks, wear them properly and not be stupid, because it can happen to anybody. it doesn't matter what age you are. anybody. and on a slightly lighter note, on your departure from hospital, i‘m hearing it was turned into quite an occasion. can you describe what happened ? into quite an occasion. can you describe what happened? to be honest, i had a tip off the night before from the matron saying, you‘ve got a crowd coming tomorrow, andi you‘ve got a crowd coming tomorrow, and i said, ok, thinking would be my wife and my boss and her

boss, and then when i came out of my room and said, ithink then when i came out of my room and said, i think it is time to go outside, you‘ve got quite a gathering, she said, come and have a look. i came down in the wheelchair, and when i saw everyone outside, it was amazing. i'm hoping we haven't lost the link, but i‘m told that the transport was a bit special as well, is that right? yes, it was a white rolls—royce, the director of the company paid for it to get me home. well, it is a fitting mode of transport. we are watching you get in with patsy. so please that you are back home, and patsy, you look delighted and relieved that you have got him back home. it has been a joy talking to you both, thank you, and good luck with the recuperation at home as well. thank you. thank you

so much. that is a departure from hospital in style, isn‘t it! what a lovely, lovely couple. that has made my morning. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning to you. 8.33 is the time. coming up before nine, we‘ll have the weather. but first a summary of this

good morning, guys. zach crawley will be hoping that number gets even bigger this morning. days in sport you will rememberfor ever. england‘s zak crawley had one of those yesterday and could have another today. he resumes day two on 171 not out with england in a dominatnt position in the final test against pakistan. and after nailing a maiden test century he‘ll be eyeing a double hundred today. as katie gornall reports. cut off from the rest of the world, it has been a summer of cricket like no other. this is england‘s sixth test match in seven weeks, and the last in the bubble would be played at gale force. england were given little time to adjust to the conditions. in steamed pakistan bowlers, sending both their opening batsmen to the shelter of the pavilion before lunch. the antidote to swinging ball was swinging bat, largely that of zak crawley who kept the scoreboard ticking over. butjust as england and joe root were finding their rhythm, pakistan and naseem shah found something special. commentator: great delivery.

a great tumbling catch by rizwan. removing ollie pope would be far more straight forward. four wickets get down, england needed stability. 22—year—old crawley answered the call, scoring his first test century with consummate care. one for the cameras, if not the crowd. england picked up the pace asjos buttler tamed the wind. together they would put on a partnership of over 200 runs, but the headlines belonged to one man. as it stands, this is the last test of the year, and crawley has made a lasting impression. katie gornall, bbc news. the former chelsea manager antonio conte and a host of ex premier league stars will be waking up this morning thinking what might have been as inter milan were beaten by sevilla in the europa league final. a frantic opening half an hour saw inter lead, but sevilla hit back twice before diego godin levelled for inter. then with extra time

and penalties looming came the turning point, a mistake from one of those premier league stars, romelu lukaku who stuck out a leg and deflected a shot into his own net. as sevilla claimed the title for a record sixth time. they are masters at winning this trophy. chelsea are splashing the cash ahead of the new premier league season. left back ben chilwell. they‘re close to signing england and leicester left back ben chilwell. reports say it could be for as much as £50 million. chelsea have already spent around 90 million on striker timo werner and winger hakim ziyech. plus they want to buy midfielder kai havertz ahead of the season which starts in three weeks. after more than five months, rugby union‘s pro 14 returns later with three huge derbies as scarlets, edinburgh and leinster host their local rivals. in the premiership, leaders exeter took another step towards their fifth final in a row as they came from behind to beat sale 32—24. stuart hogg with one of four tries as they made it two wins from two since the

restart. tonight, british heavyweight boxer dillian whyte takes on russian alexander povetkin with the prize on offer, a shot at the wbc world title and a potential fight with tyson fury. also on the card — in the back garden of boxing promoters matchroom hq - is the rematch between ireland‘s katie taylor who defends her four world titles against delfine persoon — who‘s actually a police officer. and that may help her with both living close by in a bio bubble in the lead up. i think it is pretty much what i expected. i knew i was going to step in something a bit like prison, people said you can‘t set foot outside the hotel. but i‘m com pletely outside the hotel. but i‘m completely focused on the actual fight. i completely focused on the actual fight. i definitely miss going for walks during the day but it is something ijust walks during the day but it is something i just have walks during the day but it is something ijust have to overcome this week, and it is the same for

every single boxer in the camp. talk about tough conditions at royal troon. on day two of the women‘s open at scotland‘s catriona matthew and welsh golfer becky morgan battled to five over par. only one player is currently under par overall, daniela holmqvist. the wind and rain wreaking havoc. on a nice sunny and dry boston day, records are being made. this is scottie scheffler with a 12 under par 59. one shot off equalling the lowest round in pga tour history. it's it‘s amazing what a difference a bit of sunshine can make. absolutely. and that is a great name, scotty. he deserves a place on the pga tour with a name like that! 8.40 is the time now. it‘s been a summer of heartache, not only for couples who have had to cancel their wedding plans, but for those who work to make

the big day happen. many claim that the wedding sector is a ‘forgotten industry‘ and the government should act fast to prevent thousands of jobs being lost. sarah corker reports. the big fairy tale wedding at a castle or country house is now on hold for thousands of couples. we do a lot of weddings from all over the world, and people come here because we can do larger numbers. coronavirus has forced the boutique hotel group to cancel or postpone 250 weddings across three venues in cheshire. rules in england restrict the number of guests to 30. in scotland, it‘s 20. in northern ireland and wales it depends on the size of the venue. so this is the drawing room, it sits 165... here at peckforton castle, smaller weddings are just not financially viable. it is frustrating that pubs can be jam—packed but, unfortunately, we are still stuck waiting.

it has had a huge financial impact. we‘ve got, i think, our sales which probably to date lost £8 million in sales. it is just a huge figure. business owners like chris say this multi—billion—pound industry is one of the last to emerge from lockdown and the sector needs help, if it is to recover. the wedding industry, at the moment seems to be the forgotten industry but it is a big, big industry, and so, yeah, time to support is desperate. and this is peak wedding season yet there are no weddings. yes, peak — we would have been 30,40 weddings in, heading through august, now nothing at all. venues want the government to give them a timeframe for when restrictions will ease so they can plan ahead. between april and august, an estimated 123,000 weddings were postponed or cancelled, and it is notjust venues that are losing huge sums of money, it has sent a ripple effect through the entire industry, affecting photographers, caterers and florists too. helen‘s work as a wedding photographer disappeared overnight.

to pay the bills, she‘s has been doing lockdown family shoots. she‘s also taken advantage of a mortgage holiday to ease the financial strain. what impact have all these cancellations and postponements had on you? it is peak season right now so it's the worst time for us to lose a year's income because that is when you get the main bulk of it. and this is what a covid—secure wedding looks like — masks, social distancing, singing should be avoided and dancing at the reception isn‘t allowed. hayley and jordon from southport were due to get married next weekend but whittling down the guest list proved tricky. we just keep postponing until we cannot postpone any more and we can't walk down the aisle. and the race for 2021 dates is already fierce — nearly half a million weddings are expected to take place next year. sarah corker, bbc news, in cheshire.

the time now is 8.43. a team of four—legged fundraisers from cumbria have earned a place in the record books. springer spaniels max, paddy and harry have scaled ben nevis, alongside their owner kerry irving, raising more than £100,000 for the pdsa vets charity. peter marshall has been to meet them. when these springer spaniel is spring into action, they are difficult to keep up with. this is max, he is the oldest aged 13. then there is harry and paddy. throughout lockdown, kerry irving has live strea m lockdown, kerry irving has live stream to their daily walks, attracting viewers from around the world, so when they decided to raise funds for pets charity pdsa, the response was amazing. it is their way of paying back what the dogs have given them through lockdown, and it has been their way of saying thank you for the dogs giving them i°y thank you for the dogs giving them joy through that dark time. harry

and paddy raised around £46,000 by scaling ben nevis with kerry, who initially set a fundraising target of just initially set a fundraising target ofjust £2000. i think within ten hours we had hit £10,000, and in a week it went up to £30,000, and the day that we climbed ben nevis, it was standing at about £46,500. it was standing at about £46,500. it was just incredible. max was standing at about £46,500. it wasjust incredible. max has played his part too. donations to mark his 13th birthday, along with an online raffle boosted the total to just over £100,000. a special amount, and a special canine companion. in 2006, kerry had a serious road accident and was struggling to recover. meeting max one day while out to buy a pint of milk changed his life. i was suffering from severe depression at the time, and at that point in my life i was ready to say goodbye, and max just gave me

that little bit of hope, and just getting back outside again reinvigorated me and gave me a meaning to get back out there. he later adopted max, who was a star in his own right, via his facebook page, max out in the lake district. how is max? he is the best thing in the world. and so is my wife, and then the other two dogs. shall we say that again? whatever the ranking, this is a team worthy of admiration. something to bark at. such a great story, and didn‘t it just looked beautiful there? it made me want to go out for a walk, and those dogs just looked so happy. even in the rain, a place like that looks beautiful. let‘s look out of the window here in our studios, and it is looking a

little gloomy. to be honest, tomasz, you cast your expert arms folded eye over that picture, stroke your chin a little bit and tell us what you make of it. it has a shower, so it won‘t last all day, that i can tell you. it is a little bit a shower, so it won‘t last all day, that i can tell you. it is a little bit hit and miss across the country, but the point is that for most of us, most of the day, it won‘t be raining, and there will be sunshine around. but all in all, it is not so bad. but around the lake district, places like keswick and much of the central swathe of the uk still under the influence of low pressure, and you can see these showers startling in towards it, and that is the next one that will be moving in across ireland and reach parts of northern england and southern wales a little bit later on. so it is a mixed bag at times, it does look grey and gloomy, but a lot of the time, if you look at the weather map, you can clearly see so much more green in

these blue colours, indicating where it is raining. the good news is it is not as windy as it was yesterday. yesterday it really was blowing a gale, severe gales around the coasts. today it is still blustery, even the potential for some coastal flooding because of the high tides that we have still in the south—west, but things are calming down and they will continue to come down and they will continue to come down overnight into sunday. it will bea dry down overnight into sunday. it will be a dry night, predominantly, 14 in london, around 11 degrees, and then tomorrow the wind will be lighter still. again i think it will be a pleasa nt still. again i think it will be a pleasant day, feeling warm where the sun comes out for any lengthy period of time, certainly in the south of the country, scotland pretty decent too. notice these blobs of rain moving through northern ireland and again into the south of scotland, the lake district, perhaps through yorkshire, the peak district, those sorts of areas. here is a little heads up talking about unsettled weather for next week. we are

anticipating another one of these big autumn type belows to head our way. this means thejet big autumn type belows to head our way. this means the jet stream will whip up the low pressure, send it in our direction, and it means gales on the way once again, it will probably last a day or so. not on monday. monday a little hit and miss across some western and south—western areas, some rain around, but also plenty of dry, bright if not sunny weather, and then the really u nsettled weather, and then the really unsettled weather, the next developing area of low pressure, you can see that behind me heading our way, and that will bring a spell of very unpleasant weather sometime on tuesday possible into wednesday. so here is the summary, with the outlook for the next few days. your highs for the day, temperatures in the north down to the mid teens, but in the south, despite the unsettled weather, we still keep temperatures into the low 20s, and through this weekend up to 23 degrees, which is

even a degree or so weekend up to 23 degrees, which is even a degree or so above where we should be. i know you think that i don‘t always listen, but have the temperatures gone up quite a not particularly in london. weren‘t they 22 earlier this morning for saturday and sunday? whether it is 22 or 23, these symbols and temperatures on the icons are updated very regularly, sometimes every hour, but whether it is 22 or23, sometimes every hour, but whether it is 22 or 23, that doesn‘t really... you wouldn‘t notice it. is 22 or 23, that doesn‘t really... you wouldn't notice it. you say that, but it is the difference between long sleeves, short sleeves, long trousers and short trousers. what, 1 degrees? that is my threshold! weather does change, i can help tomasz here. it does, and i will point out because this comes up, people look at the app and it changes from hour to hour. it will, thatis changes from hour to hour. it will, that is what it is supposed to do. just like the traffic prediction or

your estimated time of arrival, it a lwa ys your estimated time of arrival, it always will tweak a little bit, it is just always will tweak a little bit, it isjust an always will tweak a little bit, it is just an indicator of what to expect. all i wanted was for you to be happy that i pay such close attention. you do, you pay tremendous attention to forecast. he is very happy. all i get from charlie is, the weather changes! tomasz, thank you very much! see you later on. let‘s turn our attention to blackpool. now the highlight of blackpool‘s calendar is always the illuminations — but this year because of coronavirus, things will be a little different. instead of getting a celebrity to switch on the lights, seven "corona heroes" have been chosen to do the honours, thanking them for the work they‘ve done for the public during the pandemic. let‘s take a look at what make the illuminations so special. all these things have turned blackpool into an immense fairyland by night. 3 million visitors are expected to enjoy this revelry of

twinkling lights. three, two, one! up, up and away! with us now is creative curator of the illuminations and tv presenter laurence llewelyn—bowen and leona harris, who‘s a nurse and is one of the seven chosen to switch the lights on. good morning to you both. laurence, let‘s begin with you. you had the task of looking through all these potential heroes. we

received so, so many proposals, one of the powerful things was the language that people used when they were recommending a corona hero. it is something that has really touched people, and i felt that the task was to find a series of people that could very effectively represent the efforts that so many other people had gone too. so many of the risks, the sheer dedication that people have shown.” hope you are listening very carefully, leona. laurence, i‘m going to put you on the spot. tell us why cliona is so fantastic. aside from the fact that she developed the sobriquet of angel of the north, thatis sobriquet of angel of the north, that is very special, but one of the big things about her is that she raised so much money, and her reach, her impact, wasn‘t just for the

blackpool area. predominantly the whole point of the corona heroes project was to celebrate people who had spent so much time in blackpool in lancashire, but actually what leona did in a lot of her fundraising meant that she was providing ipads for hospices and hospitals nationally, and i think this is one of the big things that throughout the pandemic, throughout the lockdown, everybody was incredibly focused on helping their own communities, but very quickly the reach started spreading, very quickly their energy, their commitment, actually meant that they we re commitment, actually meant that they were helping more and more and more people outside their own particular sphere, and leona was a particular heroine of that. leona, very good morning to you. what a lovely thing to hear, and i know people in your position are often very modest, a lot of people think straightaway, not only were you doing yourjob and the most difficult of circumstances, but you are raising money, getting

ipads for people so that they can connect. you have had quite a time. i have had an absolutely amazing journey. the joy that it has brought to patients and families, all across the country, for me, is so rewarding. you know, leona, when charlie was introducing you is what you have been going through, we are looking at pictures of so many families with these tablets, and you say, and i can only imagine how hard you have been working, you and your colleagues, that you have had a great time. but certainly says something about you and your personality and your resilience. how has it been for you? it has been absolutely fantastic. nurses, doctors, every single one of them is a hero. to see the joy that it brought to patients, thejoy a hero. to see the joy that it brought to patients, the joy that it brought to patients, the joy that it brought to patients, the joy that it brought to families, for me, that was all that i wanted.

i didn‘t expect any of this at all, but it served a purpose, and they are still using them now, and they have adapted them for other needs, and i get so many amazing stories every day of what they are doing with them. tell us one, because it is basically the people who needed to communicate with members of the family while they were in hospital and would have felt quite isolated, so and would have felt quite isolated, so tell us and experience of how you have changed someone‘s life. initially it was for face time, because patience were isolated, we had a range of patients, dementia patients, patiently met with complex needs, and they couldn‘t have any visitors, but the initial idea was so visitors, but the initial idea was so that people could connect. it didn‘tjust so that people could connect. it didn‘t just reassure patients, so that people could connect. it didn‘tjust reassure patients, it reassured families and that it could reassured families and that it could reassure the patient that their family was ok, because they hadn‘t seen family was ok, because they hadn‘t seen them for some time. there is a

neurological hospital in manchester, and they downloaded specific apps so patients with neurological needs can connect. there was a hospice with motor neurone patients that were former musicians, and they have downloaded piano apps, so these patients can still play a musical instrument. and they use it for dementia patients for therapy, they download old movies so they can reminisce. i have got a hundred stories, it is just fantastic. laurence, it is lovely hearing leona‘s stories that what has been achieved. i‘m just looking through the list of people you have nominated, and i‘m seeing it seems a bit unfair in a way, to pick people out, but will is six years old and has raised a whole load of money, and i‘m looking at you have got david anderson and his dog, so tell us that

story. through doesn't love a cockerpoo? it was about ordinary human reaction is to try to solve this crisis, so in a way that leona saw a need so readily to help patients communicate, will has epilepsy and is visually impaired, there were so many people all over there were so many people all over the country that wanted to do something very similar, and will raised an enormous amount of money. and then with david and jasper, david is a chaplain. jasper, the things you would normally take for granted like being able to pet a dog, these were things that were so far removed from everybody's

experiences during the pandemic. and so the six that we are using to exemplify the extraordinary levels of ingenuity, i think, that front line workers showed during the time is extremely heroic. it certainly is, and it is fabulous to be able to celebrate them. leona, thank you for all your work, congratulations, and laurence, thank you very much as well for telling us all about it as well. do take care, both of you. brilliantly inspiring story. stay with us, headlines coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. hundreds of thousands of people in three areas of north west england will be under tighter lockdown measures from midnight in an attempt to combat rising coronavirus cases. the manchester united captain harry maguire is due to appear in court in greece shortly — he and two others are accused by police of offences including assault following a disturbance at a bar. sta travel becomes the latest high—street firm to fall victim to the pandemic — putting around 500 jobs at risk. resuming on 171 can england‘s zak crawley turn yesterday‘s maiden test century into a double

hundred when play resumes? with england in control on day two of the final test with pakistan. not quite as windy today as yesterday, overall not a bad day for most of us with sunshine and a few showers. most of us with sunshine and a few showers. good morning. it‘s saturday, the 22nd august. our top story. parts of north west england are facing tighter lockdown restrictions amid rising concern over the increase in cases of covid—19. the health secretary matt hancock said the targeted measures were aimed at preventing a second peak of the virus. in the past hour, the leader of oldham council hs confirmed that from midnight, residents in oldham as well as those in parts of pendle and blackburn, can no longer socialise with anyone from outside their own households. there 5 a new lower limit of 20 people allowed to attend weddings orfunerals. people are also being

encouraged to not use public transport unless essential. workplaces are unaffected, as are childcare facilities. businesses including pubs and restaurants can also continue to operate. elsewhere in the north west, from wednesday, those living in wigan, rossendale and darwen will see a relaxation of restrictions there, as cases continue to fall. in another development, northampton has now become a so—called ‘area of intervention‘ where local officials will visit households and encourage people to take extra care. and in birmingham, a rise in infections means the city is now on the government‘s watch list. it‘s been designated an area of enhanced support — which allows additional measures such as further testing and more local contact—tracing. we can speak to our reporter yunus mulla, who‘s in oldham for us this morning. yunus, how have people there been reacting to these

extra measures ? at least it is not a full lockdown, thatis at least it is not a full lockdown, that is the overwhelming reaction from people i have spoken to this morning. the fear was that new restrictions would be more than just social, they are not economic so people can still go to work and still shop. the council feared nonessential businesses would have to shutdown which would be an economic disaster and they have been speaking to the government. having said that, i have spoken to a number of people who say they have been confused by constant changes in the rules and they are not surprised people do not stick to the new changes coming into force. the council feel the new messaging changes coming into force. the councilfeel the new messaging is much clearer. they feel that will

help them get their messaging across, they have been doing a lot of work in the community, there have been campaigns on social media as well to convince people to remain safe —— safe. looking across greater manchester, police say they have been called to an increasing number of breaches of restrictions. in oldham, they were called to an incident where there were 30 teenagers. in swinton there was a house party of up to 50 people and they were also called to a private garden party involving three parties. in all instances, fines we re parties. in all instances, fines were issued. so there is some concern that the message is not getting through. thank you very much for the news there from wet oldham. the manchester united captain, harry maguire is due to appear in a greek court shortly to face allegations of assault and attempted bribery after a disturbance at a bar in mykonos on thursday.

two other men were also arrested. greek authorities say police officers were assaulted. harry maguire‘s lawyer said he denied the allegations against him. for more on this we can speak to journalist anthee carassava, who is in the greek capital athens this morning. anthee what will happen this morning? we expect the procedures to begin in the next few minutes, bring it up—to—date. the next few minutes, bring it up-to-date. we have seen no movement at the present, perhaps harry maguire may have been taken in through the back door, there are draconian security measures at the prosecutor‘s office. he will appear before the prosecutor today to a nswer to before the prosecutor today to answer to these allegations that he faces, a whole range of allegations from verbal to physical assault, to even bribing a local policeman to

try and get out of his arrest. we understand that his lawyers who i have been speaking to, they say they deny all the charges and allegations. it remains to be seen how he willjustify his conduct. it remains to be seen whether the prosecutor will believe him. we expect the prosecutor to level charges, if he sees that these offences a re charges, if he sees that these offences are very charges, if he sees that these offences are very serious and there is grounds for a criminal prosecution, then that will be initiated and that takes the logo process down an entirely different route. if however he believes and he finds that these accusations amount toa number of finds that these accusations amount to a number of misdemeanours, then we may see a speedy child being held

as early as today. there are preparations under way on the island of eros to chime harry maguire and the rest as early as today. —— on the rest as early as today. —— on the island of sarah crowe is to there has been no mention other than his attorney saying he will be coming out to make a public apology. thank you very much. tourists returning to the uk from croatia, austria or trinidad and tobago will now have to self—isolate for two weeks. new quarantine restrictions came into effect this morning at 4am. many travellers had to pay for extra flights to make it home before the deadline. the head of the world health organization says he hopes the coronavirus pandemic will be over in under two years. speaking in geneva on friday, tedros ghebreyesus said the spanish flu of 1918 took two years to overcome, but current advances in technology could halt the virus "in a shorter time".

more than 800,000 people globally have died from covid—19 since the start of the outbreak. so we hope to finish this pandemic before — less than two years. especially if we can pull our efforts together and with national unity and with global solidarity, that‘s really key with utilising the available tools to the maximum and hoping that we can have additional tools like a vaccine, i think we can finish it in a shorter time than the 1918 flu. the governor of california has appealed for assistance from canada and australia, as hundreds of wildfires continue to spread. at least 175000 people have been forced to flee their homes — and six people are known

to have died. more than 12000 fire—fighters are battling the blazes. the russian opposition leader, has landed in germany for medical treatment after a suspected poisoning. alexei navalny has been in a coma since collapsing on thursday. russian doctors initially said he should not be moved — but then changed their minds and agreed to let him be taken to berlin. his supporters suspect he drank poisoned tea, and accuse authorities of trying to cover up a crime. hospitals in england carried out nearly 45,000 operations on children and teens last year to remove rotting teeth — that‘s nearly 180 every day and it cost the nhs more than £40 million. health officials now fear lockdown will drive up levels of tooth decay as youngsters snack on more sugary foods while at home. the local government association predicts poorer communities will be the hardest hit. a giant panda at the smithsonian national zoo in washington has set a new record, becoming the oldest panda in the us to give

birth. this is mei xiang soon after giving birth to her cub. there had been some concern that the baby may not survive because of mei‘s age — she‘s 22 years old. but all seems to be well — the zoo tweeted she was nursing her cub and cuddling it close." that is definitely cuddling it close. all is well we are told. all is well we are told. let‘s return to our top story now — people living in parts of the north of england are back under tougher lockdown restrictions in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus. the health secretary matt hancock described the measures as targeted and robust. dr sakthi karunanithi is the director of public health

for lancashire and joins us now. good morning, thank you for your time this morning. these measures coming forward, it is worth explaining to people just what the distinctions are and why they matter. sure, yes, there is mixed news. some areas are coming out of restrictions and others that are going into additional restrictions so we going into additional restrictions so we have three situations in lancashire. one is many parts of lancashire. one is many parts of lancashire which are similar to other parts of the country. the national restrictions apply. then we have a set of additional measures which restrict further social restrictions like private gardens, pubs and restaurants where we ask people not to meet members of different households.

since yesterday, although restrictions are coming down, it is still very high in parts of lancashire so additional measures have been brought in which means that they ask people not to misca with nonmembers of the household for a period of time. that is white is a bit complicated but we are only asking people to restrict their freedom are only asking people to restrict theirfreedom in smaller are only asking people to restrict their freedom in smaller parts so it is very targeted and we hope it will not last long. until the numbers go down. we cannot keep that high—level of infection as we look towards schools and colleges being open which is why the additional measures are being brought in. we hope they will further create conditions in terms of financial conditions and legal measures so there is

conditionality attached to it in areas where there is a need. we are is the evidence, not so much in terms of geography but in terms of people leading their lives, what evidence are you saying of the virus being transmitted, in what circumstances are their evidence around that? as we get more data and we start to understand, one thing is clear, key behaviour that influences on the transmission of social mixing between members of our household. the very members we are near to and love, there is a high chance of transmission. secondly, it is not just houses, it is other indoor spaces like restaurants, there could be overcrowding and you could let your guard

down. those two key behaviours, as well as social mixing, that is why we are trying to influence and persuade people to avoid so we can cut the transmission of the virus. the director of public health —— as director of public health, base places are in different stages how close are you to sing two organisations, we have to sing two organisations, we have to go to sing two organisations, we have togoa to sing two organisations, we have to go a stepfather, if what you like to go a stepfather, if what you like to bea to go a stepfather, if what you like to be a complete lockdown scenario? asa to be a complete lockdown scenario? as a nation we have experienced complete lockdown. you lock everything down and the virus comes down but what we have shown in other parts of the country, we can possibly avoid an economic lockdown which will do more harm than good notjust for the economy

which will do more harm than good not just for the economy but for health so i am positive if the key behaviour we are trying to achieve here, to avoid social mixing from people in different households and to create the conditions like financial support for people who are in households and for conditionality, if you do behave like that, largely people follow the advice, but where there are instances where we cannot create the conditions, we need to have legislative measures to disrupt transmission. so my assumption is that as a nation we will avoid further economic lockdown if we have a good financial support for individuals, really effective test and trace programme and some tougher legislative measures as a last resort. so if we do

these three things, in my professional view, we can avoid a complete lockdown. thank you very much for your time this morning. so some places are improving, some places need further restrictions in place. we will be explaining throughout the morning. here‘s tomasz with a look at this morning‘s weather. really mixed, a bit of something for eve ryo ne really mixed, a bit of something for everyone this morning? yes, it is actually turned out quite gloomy for some of us this morning with heavy rain showers moving through the bbc earlier this morning. also some others are waking up to clear blue skies so from one extreme to the other but look at the satellite picture from the last couple of days, cloud swirling around close to

the uk. there is another swirl they‘re heading towards ireland, moving to belfast later on bringing spells of wetter weather and back to sunshine. the weather will chop and change through the course of today but if you look at the weather map, there is more green land, otherwise clear weather than blue patches which is the rain so for the vast majority of us today will not be a bad day at all, the best of the weather across the south and south—east. this is where the highest temperature will be, 23 in london. 18 degrees for glasgow. the showers flowing of a breeze today. they will lose through this evening and tonight and then it will become dry across the uk. overnight lows, allowing 14 or 15 in the south—east and east anglia, 11 degrees in

glasgow and edinburgh. showers across belfast and the irish sea, reaching liverpool and across yorkshire and toured lincolnshire but south of the country best of the weather tomorrow with sunshine and temperatures up to 23 degrees. a heads up on the weather for the week ahead, we have just heads up on the weather for the week ahead, we havejust had a heads up on the weather for the week ahead, we have just had a spell of gale force winds towards the west. there is another similar looking weather pattern heading our way, another autumn load pushed by a powerful jet stream, rain another autumn load pushed by a powerfuljet stream, rain heading our way. not on monday which should be decent, you can see clear weather from england —— london, norwich to aberdeen but the weather is going downhill out in the atlantic. this blob of blue is the rain and windy weather as well which will sweep in our direction, reaching us tuesday

or wednesday so we will see scenes like this in the west. gusts of wind coming our way next week but until then, a mixed bag this weekend. a few more showers on monday but the worst day will be tuesday in the week ahead. that is it, back to you. thank you very much. six years ago, the life of the pakistan schoolboy, ahmad nawaz, changed forever when his school was targeted by taliban gunmen. the attack left more than 130 children dead. ahmad — then aged 14 — only survived by playing dead. the road to recovery has been long, but ahmad‘s life is about to change again — he‘s accepted a place to study at oxford university. bbc asian network‘s shabnam mahmood has been to meet him, where he lives now, in birmingham. that was a horrible day, i will

never be able to forget the things that happened that day. december 2014, over 130 children and their teachers died in an attack by the taliban on a school in pressure wire, in pakistan. my friends being killed in front of my eyes, that is one of the pictures i will never forget. ahmad nawaz who also lost his younger brother was shot in the arm. it shattered the bone and i had to go through several surgeries. so severe where his injuries he was flown to birmingham —— birmingham hospital. i met him shortly after his operation. he explained how he played dead to stay alive.” his operation. he explained how he played dead to stay alive. i kept quiet and showed myself dead to them because there was so much blood, my shirt was fully red and my face also was fully red so they

think that he is dead. having made the uk has home, amit is determined to do well. now he has secured a place at oxford university to study philosophy.” feel extremely proud having come from such an —— such a natural city a few years ago. i feel this is a success not just for a few years ago. i feel this is a success notjust for me but all the people who were shot in that attack. like his friends, mall use of side who also survived a taliban attack he is no less ambitious.” who also survived a taliban attack he is no less ambitious. i would also like to help people through my own organisation which i am setting up own organisation which i am setting up to try and empower people to eradicate extremes from the world. going to oxford university is a dream come true for the teenager who lived through one of the deadliest terror attacks. i think my survival was a miracle in a

sense and now i am just trying my best to do something in the second chance that i have been given. good luck to him indeed. charity fundraiser lloyd scott has spent 30 years raising millions of pounds in events across the world — the most famous being completing the london marathon, in a deep—sea diving suit. a lot of people will remember that vividly. it is an amazing piece of equipment. it went on for days, he will tell us in a minute. it went on for days, he will tell us in a minute. lloyd is putting on that suit once more for his final challenge, and is taking on the three highest peaks of scotland, england and wales. before we‘re joined by lloyd, here‘s some of his challenge highlights.

lloyd joins us now. good morning, how are you? yes, good morning. that is good morning inside language. fine, thank you. excellent. was everything you have donein excellent. was everything you have done in the past not enough, no you

between so it should be nine ten days. i have had the pleasure of talking to you on the sofa a few yea rs talking to you on the sofa a few years ago, i don‘t know if you remember, you very kindly h either helmet on. let us take a look at this, if you have any doubt as to how heaviness is, take a look at this. can i chide a son? if it gets stuck, you will take it off. if i drop it, it will hurt. oh my goodness, it is so heavy. roger. no, leave it on. i will take it off. gosh, that is very heavy. how much does it weigh? it

feels like a co nsta nt does it weigh? it feels like a constant pressure on your head, i cannot imagine what will be like going upa cannot imagine what will be like going up a mountain. we have had to modify the suit to make it more conducive to getting up the mountain. sound distorts. it is right up there with the images of marathon runners, that picture, we are showing it now, the helmet is being removed, it has become one of the great images of the london marathon. what do you remember that time? really? the funniest thing was asi time? really? the funniest thing was as i was finishing, my children were playing in the gardens

all and you get to take the deep—seated diving suit off. good luck. we watch out so get mike up there with you. that is a challenge. you know he will not fail. you know he will not fail. stay with us, headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up before ten we‘ll have the sport and weather.but first at 9.30, a summary of this morning‘s main news. hundreds of thousands of people in parts of the north west of england are back under strict lockdown measures from today as officials attempt to slow

the rising spread of coronavirus. residents in oldham, parts of blackburn and pendle, are no longer allowed to mix with anyone from outside their own household. workplaces, childcare facilities and businesses, including restaurants and pubs, will remain open. just to be clear there‘s been a little bit of confusion around the timing of these further restrictions. they are in force from today, as we‘ve been reporting. a little earlier we spoke to the leader of oldham council sean fielding and he said they would come in from midnight tonight — but he‘s now tweeted to say he made a mistake. as he put it — "these days have all blurred in to one. i suppose something that many of us can sympathise with! "on @bbcbrea kfast just now i said new restrictions from midnight tonight. midnight saturday is midnight last night, so restrictions are from today. what a long week..." so just to be clear,

the restrictions in old ham so just to be clear, the restrictions in oldham are in place now. manchester united captain harry maguire is due to appear in court in greece shortly following a disturbance at a bar. the england defender and two other men were detained by police after an altercation on the island of mykonos on thursday night. they are accused of a number of offences including assault and attempted bribery. today‘s hearing is intended to determine whether criminal charges should be laid. maguire‘s lawyers say he denies the allegations. tourists returning to the uk from croatia, austria or trinidad and tobago will now have to self—isolate for two weeks. new quarantine restrictions came into effect this morning at 4am. many travellers had to pay for extra flights to make it home before the deadline. the head of the world health organization says he hopes the coronavirus pandemic will be over in under two years. speaking in geneva on friday, tedros ghebreyesus said the spanish flu of 1918 took two years to overcome, but current advances in technology could halt the virus "in a shorter time". more than 800,000 people globally have died from covid—19

since the start of the outbreak. hospitals in england carried out nearly 45,000 operations on children and teens last year to remove rotting teeth — that‘s nearly 180 every day and it cost the nhs more than £40 million. health officials now fear lockdown will drive up levels of tooth decay as youngsters snack on more sugary foods while at home. the local government association predicts poorer communities will be the hardest hit. those are the main stories this morning. sta travel is the latest company to enter administration as a direct result of the pandemic, putting 500 jobs at risk. it was a familiar presence on the high street for nearly 40 years, specialising in student travel, but the decline in long—haul trips proved too much for the firm to overcome. greg mackenzie

reports. it was the company which grew out of a student travel business, specialising in trips for young people, including gap years, backpackers and volunteer projects. but it‘s the latest high street chain to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. sta travel has more than 50 branches across the uk, but in the past six years it has seen its profits dramatically fall. now, add that with a lack of money coming into the business, because fewer people are travelling, or simply choosing to book their holidays elsewhere, the company has simply decided to call it a day and cease trading. 500 jobs are now at risk. a big company, and it‘s horrible to see another casualty of this crisis in the uk travel industry, which is crying out for urgent, sector—specific support. a spokesperson for the association of british travel agents said this will "send a shock wave through the industry, bringing to life the very real pressures that travel is under

at the moment." it‘s hoped the majority of flights and holidays sold by sta will be protected by the atol scheme, which protects holiday bookings. it has directed customers to its website for further advice. meanwhile, sta says the pandemic had brought the travel industry to a standstill. at a time when you have literally no money coming in, just a whole series of demands for refunds, clearly the parent company, a swiss—based firm, had to look at the future and just decided that there was no chance of business coming back at anything like the necessary amount before next year. with a combination of high—street rents, a lack of income and demands for refunds, particularly when the uk‘s list of quarantine countries can change so

suddenly, it‘s unlikely sta will be the last casualty in this new age of infection. greg mckenzie, bbc news. well for more on this story, let‘s speak to simon calder, travel editor with the independent, who is outside sta‘s flagship store in central london. we see behind you the sta flagship store. for many years, for a lot of people, this was the place to go for a long haul travel, students, backpackers, all that kind of thing, but the whole climate around travel has changed so much. it certainly has. many people watching now will remember that great sense of excitement when you came out of an sta shop with a handwritten ticket and you knew that was the real start of your adventure. very sadly, what sta does, it is summed up my gap

year travel, organising long haul adventures, they are exactly what isn‘t happening. these days it is tough enough getting round the isle of wight in one go, let alone getting around the world, and if you look at the typical itinerary, which would be something like london to thailand to sydney, australia, to new zealand, back via the us, none of those countries are currently open to uk travellers. and with no sense of when things might get back to something like normal, u nfortu nately to something like normal, unfortunately they have called it a day, and 500 very good staff will be pondering their future right now. look at the wider picture for us, and immediately those 500 people will be out of work at a very difficult time for the travel industry, and that is a huge understatement. the picture is grim for so many of these companies. understatement. the picture is grim for so many of these companiesm is. when the swiss holding company released a statement, they basically just said there is no confidence among travellers, and that is what

i‘m getting from the mainstream holiday business as well. of course, as you have been reporting, suddenly this morning croatia is on the no—go list. there are concerns about other countries. and in a climate like that, it is very difficult when you have got the government saying, you really shouldn‘t book an overseas trip unless you can tolerate two weeks of self—isolation when you come back. sorry, about five very big coaches have just come back. sorry, about five very big coaches havejust gone past. yes, when people cannot be sure that their holiday will go ahead and it won‘t be sun, sea and self—isolation, it is a grim picture when people are talking about three winters in a row. there isjust a little bit of hope with portugal opening up that they might have something in terms of a season ahead. but glum all round the travel business, i‘m afraid. ahead. but glum all round the travel business, i'm afraid. simon, thank you very much. it is 23 minutes to ten. we are

talking cricket, lots of sport. john has all of that. good morning. good morning, yes. in less than 90 minutes‘ time england‘s zak crawley will be heading out to carry on where he left off with the bat in southampton — on day two of their final test against pakistan — and i wonder if he‘s thinking about that double century. england are in control — but it wasn‘t that way early on as they found themselves on 127—4. but zak went on the attack, in just his eighth test, he brought up a first ever test tonne — finishing unbeaten on 171. as england closed on 332—4, crawley and jos buttler with 205 of those runs. no wonder he‘s smiling as the butterflies kicked in. i was nervous from about 91, and to be honest, i was thinking about it all the way through yesterday. it‘s such a nice wicket to but on, and i know i had an opportunity

to score 100 and didn‘t want to throw it away, so i was pretty nervous, actually, quite the whole way throughout. so, yeah, it was nice to get it. i bet he slept well last night, didn‘t he? it‘s a case of what might have been for the former chelsea manager antonio conte and a host of ex premier league stars as inter milan were beaten by sevilla in the europa league final. a frantic opening half an hour saw inter lead — but sevilla hit back twice — before inter then levelled. and then with extra time and penalties looming came the turning point, a mistake from one of those premier league stars, former manchester united forward romelu lukaku sticking out a leg and deflected a shot into his own net. as sevilla claimed the title for a record sixth time. you‘ve got to give some credit to boxing promoter eddie hearn for the way he‘s been keeping everyone entertained in the boxing bio bubble he‘s set up in his backgarden during lockdown. he‘s taken to

singing. his own version of bill withers‘ aint no sunshine. clearly no lengths he wont go to promote tonight‘s main event, dillian whyte against alexander povetkin and katie taylor up against delfine persoon. look at that shot, very moody! and let‘s be honest he‘s keeping spirits high in the camp, because remember everyone‘s been living away from home and isolating in the lead up to get these fights on. # ain't # ain‘t no sunshine when she‘s gone" just a little blast of it, there you go. he could always pursue a career in music! play under way on day three of the women‘s open where conditions were tricky yesterday at royal troon with the wind and rain. scotland‘s catriona matthew and welsh golfer becky morgan battled to five over par, leaving them the best placed brits heading into the weekend. that‘s six off the leader —

daniela holmqvist. she‘s the only player under par overall. but look at the contrast. over in a nice sunny and dry boston, records are being made. scottie scheffler with a 12 under par 59 finishing one shot off equalling the lowest round in pga tour history. leader dustin johnson needed just one birdie on his last seven holes to do the same but went round in 60. but talking about all these weather conditions. maybe we‘re just finding excuses because we‘ve found someone this morning who‘s clearly a player for any weather. eight —year—old flynn parsonsjust casually dropping in a hole in one. has that just gone has thatjust gone in? he can't believe it! that is his dad instructing him to prove that he has got it.

this is on the second hole of the machrie links in scotland. and there it is! john, i have been fortunate enough to play that course, and no hole is easy there. and i‘m really pleased it was on video, because you know charlie is always a doubt about hole in ones. holes in one. don‘t you? i have nothing but praise for that young man. i love the way he runs over there. and eddie hearn, he has got a pretty good singing voice. was that really hymn singing, he wasn‘t miming? if you are ever going to go up miming? if you are ever going to go up and do that, you‘ve clearly got to think that you are half decent, do you know what i mean? you think it‘s not the first time he has done that? i definitely don't think so. he has clearly got a better talent, or certainly thinks he has. he did a

good version there. brilliant, lovely. you could do something like that, charlie. what would your go to karaoke song the? let‘s just leave that one out there, shall we? who knows? look at tomasz, he is smiling. something has tickled you. now he has got his serious face on! we can see tomaszjust before we go to him and you can see it at home, we know what he is up to. i‘m not up to anything, i‘m just listening to your conversation. what was your karaoke, then? yes, charlie. we didn‘t decide. i will have a think about it. singing in the rain, that would be mine. i‘m not a

fan of karaoke. a mixed bag so far today, because it has been raining in some parts of the country, then sunshine and rain again, call it showers, it has really been quite changeable. the last few days have been unseasonal, gale force winds yesterday, this big low pressure with all these clouds circling around the uk, still influencing our weather. you can see that the low has pulled down into the arctic, but it is still influencing our weather across the uk, soa influencing our weather across the uk, so a bit of a influencing our weather across the uk, so a bit ofa breeze, influencing our weather across the uk, so a bit of a breeze, showers coming and going, i think this afternoon around about lunchtime there will be have a showers —— heavy showers moving through the north and western areas. a few other showers peppered across the country, but generally speaking, it is a case of lengthy sunny spells, pleasant weather, the breeze, low 20s in the south, high teens in the north. the showers will continue for

a time, and then it dries out overnight for clear spells. overnight lows not particularly low, 14 degrees in london and in liverpool, no lower than around 11 degrees in glasgow. it has been a really mild overnight the last few nights. tomorrow night will be quite chilly. sunday‘s weather forecast, will be quite chilly. sunday‘s weatherforecast, again, showers across northern ireland, the south west of scotland, the north of england too, one or two of them peppered across the south, but it is quite a peppered across the south, but it is quitea similar peppered across the south, but it is quite a similar day, really. tomorrow the wins will be lighter still. i want to mention the wind, because sometime in the middle of the week we are in for another spell of really nasty weather, gale force winds heading our way. this is the jet stream superimposed over this weather front and the low pressure here, that is an atlantic storm that will be heading in our direction. not reaching us on monday, monday is still the quiet before it, some fine

weather across eastern areas and a few showers, but this is the next system, so this is going to basically spin up into one of these big vortices of weather and whip across the country, sending the weather back into a frenzy. but do you. tomasz, thank you very much. enjoy the rest of your weekend. the time now is 9.46. you‘ll remember, not so long ago, the shortage of basic groceries on supermarket shelves — well it‘s driven a unexpected demand for the humble chicken. yes, the egg shortage in particular had people thinking creatively, and a rehoming charity for hens has been inundated with more than 50,000 requests for the birds. holly hamilton is at a farm in clitheroe for us this morning. you are cradling a charlie chicken! good morning, yes. iwould like good morning, yes. i would like to introduce you to charlie. she has a silky hen and she is absolutely gorgeous. you can really see the appeal of why so many

thousands of people are requesting hens and chickens over the last few months. it has a lot to do with the need for eggs, but also a lot of people have been hoping to do something like this for months, and maybe been putting it off, and lockdown is the chance to do just that. and also, you mention to the egg there, the shortage of things like toilet roll, flour and eggs, and you could have the egg factory in your back garden ready to go. they are very easy to look after, they don‘t need much walking. so perhaps that is the reason. i have been trying to find out, so of course i have been asking the egsperts. they are perhaps not the most obvious choice of companion, but for many people left cooped up in their houses during lockdown, chickens are in demand.

i started keeping chickens when my son was a toddler. he‘s now 17 and a bit. my main reason for keeping chickens is i wanted to connect our son with where our food comes from, and ifancied having them as pets. he was completely birdphobic. wouldn‘t touch them, thought their feet were creepy. like lots of people who have gone into chicken keeping during lockdown, over the last 17 years we‘ve got more and more chickens and started a business, by doing hen—keeping courses and setting up schools with chickens, and we started in our little three—bedroom semi, and then we had to move here to accommodate my chicken habit! in fact, one rehoming charity says it has had more than 52,000 requests for hens since lockdown began. chicken—keeping has gone crazy. i mean, you can‘t get chickens for love or money at the moment. everybody seems to want to keep chickens. it‘s never been quite as busy as it has been in these past

three orfour months. you could say they‘re rarer than hen‘s teeth at the moment. very much so! we‘ve already seen a huge rise in the number of people adopting cats and dogs during lockdown, but the demand for chickens and hens could be for a very different reason. these are pets with benefits, and could answer the question, which came first — the chicken or the egg? alison adopted minnie and stitch at the beginning of lockdown. she and herfamily had been benefiting greatly from cluck and collect. there‘s one very good reason to having chickens which you just mentioned — eggs. that must be brilliant. yes, brilliant. they do one egg a day, each. as soon as we start getting eggs, the kids were eating much more eggs, because they're saying, can i have this one, you know, get it boiled for lunch, and it is gone. within a few hours of it being laid. the run that you see there was a rabbit run. the chickens have

just taken over that. we can'tjust have them out in the garden all day, every day. it'sjust, you know, it would be nice — they would love it — but they would destroy everything, i think. so no regrets, then? would you advise other people? yes, i love it. what is the best thing about having chickens? the best thing about it? the eggs. just seeing them in the morning, you open the door and they sort of talk to you, you know. they chirp. i'm a bit crazy, really. i talk to them and they talk back. although they seem like an eggs—cellent addition to your household, chickens are not for everybody. having suitable accommodation and outdoor space is vital, or you could be falling foul of the law. that is such an important thing to remember, because having that suitable outdoor space is notjust

for the hens benefit, but it is against the law if you don‘t. where we are this morning here at this farm is perfect, all the right facilities in place. pharma will owns the farm here. we have had 52,000 requests for hens from one charity. does that surprise you? know, keeping hens is becoming more and more popular. where people would generally have a dog or a cat, they are wanting six or seven hens. obviously the benefits are the eggs as well. but we are finding that there is a problem with cockerels. who you have got in your hand here. yes, a lot of people are hatching with these cheap incubators, and they are getting cockerels, and then thatis they are getting cockerels, and then that is becoming a big problem for rehoming and abandoning cockerels is just a terrible, terrible thing to do. they are lovely pets. and the other issue as well,

you have people turning up looking for hens and chickens, but they are not really coming prepared sometimes, either? know, some people seem to think that you can get the chickens home, put them on your back garden and they will fend for themselves, live in the trees, eat the grass. chickens need chicken food and they need somewhere safe, especially at night. i will let you take off here. what are we calling this one this morning? clock norris. i will let him get back to his ladies! let‘s talk to adele. this is a huge issue at the minute, brilliant the people are adopting hens, but this comes with a caveat. yes, just like well said, people need to be ready for the hens, we are rehoming 70,000 hens a year, 3000 at the weekend, and everybody is vetted. i have a fantastic

website with loads of information for people if they are not sure what they need to do. what is the most important thing that people need to remember if they are considering taking one on? maker running fox group —— make everything fox proof. foxes are an even bigger problem in suburbia, and you can find your chicken is gone overnight. this is charlie, and i can‘t think why on earth i thought of that name. i think we are going to call this one naga, andre? the rain is coming, so i think is time to go back home, but the important message today is you need to have the right facilities, because these are animals that need special care and facilities if you‘re thinking about adopting one. holly, thank you so much. we are just going to stay on your

images of the chickens as they mooch around in the chickens as they mooch around in the way that they do, and i like that we are embracing the idea of the great outdoors this morning. bob mortimer and paul whitehouse are going tojoin us. good morning. bob, your images looking a little bit odd. paul, you spend quite a lot of time fishing and outdoors. the chicken encounters happen along the way? we have got chicken stories. bob laid a couple of eggs himself, so bob laid a couple of eggs himself, so that was nice. we did have a mystic chicken in our first episode when we were up in scotland. bob was reading my future in the cards, because he can see the future, and a chicken came and hopped up and predicted my future, didn‘t

he, bob? is he there? he is not responding! he has dropped out at the moment, paul, so we will stick with you. the marvels of technology!” paul, so we will stick with you. the marvels of technology! i have dropped out before, naga. we can a lwa ys dropped out before, naga. we can always have an omelette for brea kfast, always have an omelette for breakfast, bob can lay the eggs. you know you are not going to get away with that, saying that he laid away with that, saying that he laid a couple of eggs. he did, really, honestly. that man is an extraordinary creature. he is part human, part fowl. i hope we can get the image of this creation you have depicted up in a moment, but while we sort that out, we are going to have a look at gone fishing, which isa have a look at gone fishing, which is a joy. have a look. have you got a favourite artist, paul? like art that you put on a wall? have you got a favourite artist, it is not that tricky. it is not that difficult compared to have

you got a favourite type ofjam.” can tell you that straightaway. it‘s raspberry. mind you, i like cherry. cherry is nice. it is a bit left field. black currant is nice. too acidic. so have you got a favourite artist? i'm not very good at art. i don't know how long to look at a painting for before i move onto the next one. have you got a favourite artist? no. i do, and it is mother nature! my favourite artist, look around you. i think all artists are in this losing battle to try and be as beautiful as nature, and they never get there. you are very philosophical this money. we are still waiting to sort out bob and his problems. we could wait forever to sort all

bob‘s problems out! we could wait forever to sort all bob's problems out!” we could wait forever to sort all bob's problems out! i love this programme. there is just bob's problems out! i love this programme. there isjust something so programme. there isjust something so wonderful about many of a certain agejust babbling so wonderful about many of a certain age just babbling on about nothing, and the fishing sort of happens in the background. yes, it is not a fishing programme, as you can tell from that clip, it is a programme aboutjam. from that clip, it is a programme about jam. what is from that clip, it is a programme aboutjam. what is my favourite jam? and we kept that in, shocking, really. what is it? i like bob's poetic appreciation of nature and art, don‘t you? it is very good, he led me down a little path.” art, don‘t you? it is very good, he led me down a little path. ijust wa nted led me down a little path. ijust wanted to say that the thing we should mention is you have known each other for years, and the thing that brought you together was ill health, and that is the thing that first made this particular thing happen. yes, it did. i had had some ste nts, happen. yes, it did. i had had some stents, it wasn‘t a particularly difficult procedure for me, but i

became bob‘s stent body to talk him through the procedure, and then within a couple of days, it became clear that he was too far gone, so he had to have a triple bypass, and it was very quick, so quite shocking for him. and to stop him curling up into a ball at home and never going out again, while he was in a weak and desperate state, i leered him out fishing. and he is back! we have got him. hello, bob. we have got 30 seconds, just in time! hello, sorry about that. we were just musing, we wish we had more time, because we could muse with you and paul for ages. are you well? i am very well, thank you. i shouldn't live underground, thenl thank you. i shouldn't live underground, then i would get a better signal. i told then he was pa rt better signal. i told then he was part man, part fowl. you laid a few

eggs, didn‘t you? part man, part fowl. you laid a few eggs, didn't you? magical eggs for good luck. how can we leave the viewers with that! bob mortimer, paul whitehouse, it has been a joy talking to you. i‘m glad you did finally appear, bob. good luck to you by. thank you very much. i‘m so sorry. at the outset that had chaos written all over it. but the programme is an absolute joy, but the programme is an absolute joy, it is an absolute delight. breakfast is back tomorrow morning from six o‘clock. goodbye.
