good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today.

life without parole for the gunman who shot and killed 51 people at two mosques in new zealand. the sentence is the longest in the country's history. but today i hope is the last where we have any cause to hear or utter the name of the terrorist behind it. his deserves to be a lifetime of complete and utter silence. £13 per day. the government trials payments for those on low incomes who have to self—isolate in england. forecasters warn of an "unsurvivable" storm surge as hurricane laura approaches the gulf coast of the united states. what's the big idea? june saw a boom in new business start—ups — like this one — after an early lockdown slump. who are the entrepreneurs brave enough to take the plunge during lockdown? the world of sport unites in protest against sunday's shooting of jacob blake, a black man in wisconsin. as of last night,

all basketball games in the nba are cancelled, a tennis tournament is paused and several football matches postponed. good morning. today will be cloudy for most of us. we will see showers and rain. it will not be particularly cold. tomorrow by day and night it will turn colder with a northerly wind. i will have all the details later in the programme. it's thursday 27th august. our top story... a man who opened fire on two mosques in new zealand last year and killed 51 people has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. it's the first time the sentence has ever been handed down in the country. 29—year—old australian brenton tarrant pleaded guilty to charges of murder and terrorism. thejudge described his actions as "inhuman." our correspondent shaimaa khalil has

more. for three emotionally—charged days, brenton tarrant, the killer responsible for the massacre in two christchurch mosques, sat in the dock as dozens of survivors and bereaved families spoke to him directly with a mix of anger and grief. i never would have ever imagined that the country in which my parents emigrated to for safety and for a successful future for their children would result in this. this didn't have to happen. while you are in prison, you'll come to reality that you are now in hell. and only the fire awaits you. today, the judge spent more than an hour reminding tarrant of each person he killed and injured and the agony the families and the muslim community now face. then he handed down

the sentence. your actions were inhuman. you deliberately killed a three—year—old infa nt deliberately killed a three—year—old infant as he clung to the leg of his father. the terror you inflicted on the last few minutes of that small child's life is one examples of the pitiless cruelty and exhibited throughout. brenton tarrant is now the first man in new zealand to be given a full life term with no parole. in many of their impact statements, survivors and bereaved families have asked the judge for exactly that. today, they feeljustice has been served. she is happy thatjustice has been served but he is a monster, evil, and deserves everything he gets. when i go back to turkey, i'm going to go to my son's grave and tell my son that he is jailed for a life sentence without parole.

the prime minister, jacinda ardern, also welcomed the courts decision. this has been a crime in new zealand, the likes of which has never occurred before. now we have seen never occurred before. now we have seen a never occurred before. now we have seen a sentence the likes of which we have never seen seen a sentence the likes of which we have never seen before. but yes, it gave me relief to know that person will never see the light of day. the sentencing ends one of the highest profile cases in new zealand, but march 15th 2019 will go down as a dark day in the country's history. the trauma and the tragic loss will stay with the families long after. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. let's get more reaction to the sentence. tvnz reporter ryan boswell is outside the christchurch high court and joins us now. ryan, connected to havee with us. you have been following it all week. —— good to have you. this is the

first time we have seen a sentence like this in new zealand. yes, that is right. for the first time, life means life in new zealand. brenton tarrant sentenced to a life behind bars with no parole. he will never walk free again for killing 51 innocent people and the judge came down hard on him, saying he was fuelled by hatred and he was entirely self and offered no remorse stuck brenton tarrant was able to speak to the court but he declined the request built he did offer up we re the request built he did offer up were simply that he had no... he did not in fact oppose the sentence. that is all he had to say. many of the families i wanting him to speak about wanting to hear from the families i wanting him to speak about wanting to hearfrom him but that never happened. as the sentence was handed down, many victims and families in the courtroom were quietly sobbing. there were tears

of jov- quietly sobbing. there were tears of joy. just behind me a large crowd had gathered and they erupted into song, they were so pleased with today's outcome. some of the testimony was powerful. there were few in the main court and because of coronavirus restrictions. i am going to quote the father, his father died, or herfather died. she spoke about the last moment of her father's life, saying, i wonder if he was in pain, if he was frightened and what his thoughts were. i wish more than anything in the world i could hold his hand and tell him it was ok. i could not do that. it was very emotional. he mentioned the tea rs very emotional. he mentioned the tears as well. it has been heartbreaking. these victims have been so, so brave to front up to the court. we were expecting around 60 people to speak to a gunman

but more people to speak to a gunman but more people got empowered and wanted to front up. we had close to 100 victims and their families confront the gunman face to face and tell him what they truly thought. it did get very heated over the last few days. he was labelled the devil, a coward, and someone who should never be allowed out of prison. that has been what has been handed down today. good news for the families and relief for them to move on finally. thank you for your time. people on low incomes who have to self—isolate and can't work from home will be able to claim payments of up to £13 a day under a new government scheme. from 1st september, the scheme will be trialled in blackburn, darwen, pendle and 0ldham before being rolled out to other areas of england with high levels of coronavirus. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is here to tell us more. helen, this is all about the restrictions in a way about

who can get this money. relatively few people can qualify. there are some quite strict conditions. this money can be given to people who had to stay at home for ten days because they had tested positive for coronavirus, they get £130 but all have got to stay at home for 1h days because they live with someone with covid or has come into contact with covid. the restrictions are quite strict in that they cannot work from home. secondly you already had to be claiming working tax credit or universal credit, that is how the government is defining low income. it is strongly tied to the test and trace programme. you have to be officially notified by that to be able to qualify, being told to isolate. that gives you an incentive to engage with that scheme, which has come under criticism. there is a fear people might not self—isolate if they have to make a choice between going out and putting food

on the table or complying with the rules. it is £182 going to be enough for that? andy burnham does not think so. he thinks people should be given full pay for this. thank you. hurricane laura is making landfall on the southern coast of the united states, battering parts of louisiana and texas with winds exceeding 150 miles—an—hour. officials are expecting a storm surge, which they describe as "un—survivable". more than half a million people have been told to leave their homes. simonjones reports. residents in a rush to make their properties safe and then get out of harm's way. a sign of what's to come. the wind whipping up in texas, heralding the arrival of laura, a category four hurricane, expected to bring winds of 170 miles an hour and a wall of water that could be two storeys high. it's going to be real bad. we are leaving. we don't want to go,

i don't want to go, but my children want to go. 0thers though have decided to stay put. all we can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. so sticking it out and just going to see what happens. satellite images show what has already happened. laura has undergone a remarkable transformation. the national hurricane centre is predicting an extremely dangerous hurricane. this has been categorised repeatedly as an un—survivable storm surge, where it will be hitting. and that storm surge could continue inland for about 30 miles. this is the damage laura has already wreaked in the caribbean, claiming 2a lives. it's a warning for people in texas and louisiana. their evacuation is being complicated by coronavirus, the challenge to try to keep people both safe from the storm and socially—distanced. but with water levels already

rising, authorities say any rescue operation will prove challenging, if not impossible. simon jones, bbc news. joining us now is kerry heath, a reporter with the local newspaper in galveston island in texas, near where hurricane laura is making landfall. kerry, thank you very much for your time, joining us in the evening, obviously. when we hear words for a storm search light and survivable, thatis storm search light and survivable, that is pretty frightening stuff. how do people feel about that? we have not seen really serious impacts here. we certainly feel for our neighbours in the north—east, where they are expecting some very serious impacts. here in galveston, people are taking the storm seriously anyway. 12 years ago, we had hurricane ike. many people have

packed up and laughed over the last few days and boarded up businesses and homes. —— and laughed. few days and boarded up businesses and homes. -- and laughed. you are going to avoid it there. what precautions are people taking where the storm has been called and survivable? people have been told to leave and go inland. there are pretty serious storm surge and when the effects we have seen. rescuers might not be able to get to people right away. -- and wind effects. you had hurricane harvey three years ago. this is not something that people do not know about and do not know how to deal with. here in galveston and in the houston area, people are aware of the precautions they need to take in advance of hurricanes. putting sandbags in front of doors and getting out of the way if you are in

the path of a hurricane. i can hear the wind buffeting. what is it like where you are now? i can see trees moving quite voraciously. i am standing in downtown galveston and luckily the island has escaped the brunt of the storm. we had minor street flooding around the island today, which is not unusual. there is some wind but nothing so far which looks like it will cause serious damage. we still have some of the night but hopefully we had escaped the worst of it here in galveston, feeling for our neighbours in the north—east. in galveston, feeling for our neighbours in the north-east. thank you very much. a 17—year—old has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two people were shot dead at protests in the us state of wisconsin. it comes after the shooting ofjacob blake, a black man who was shot in the back seven times by a police officer in the town of kenosha. the incident has sparked several nights of protest and violence. the nhs could be overwhelmed this winter unless more people get a flu jab. that's according to medical experts

who are urging the government to fund a major campaign. last month, the government announced plans to double the amount of vaccinations available, but analysis by the bbc has found the proportion of people getting vaccinated has fallen in recent years. lawyers for the manchester united captain, harry maguire, have lodged an appeal after a greek court convicted him of assaulting local police officers, and attempting to bribe them. the footballer received a 21—month suspended prison sentence, but his legal team say the appeal nullifies the verdict. let's speak with journalist anthee carassava, who is in the greek capital of athens this morning. anthee, what's the latest? cani can i check something with you. in its most fundamental sense, in greek law, as we speak this morning, is harry maguire an innocent man?‘ tricky question. no. he does have...

he has been convicted. this, preceding this appeal which was lodged yesterday does not nullify these convictions. what happens is that there is a three year... 0r these convictions. what happens is that there is a three year... or at least this is how it has been explained to us. what happens is this procedure, the appeal, offers the ability for both sides to have a com plete the ability for both sides to have a complete retrial. if acquitted that is fine, the charges go away. if not, new charges are set and in the meantime it is not that this conviction does not stand, do not forget, when this conviction was served by the 3—member court, there was a three—year suspended sentence. charges do not take

place in that period unless the defendant is back in greece take two similar offences, are arrested and charged again, they have to serve a 21 months that harry maguire was served with, 13 months for the rest of the defendants. what is interesting to note is no date has been set for this appeal, a formality in effect because the lawyer himself had said that he was planning to go ahead with this appeal in court. thank you very much. since her husband was killed, the widow of pc andrew harper has been campaigning for a new law that would mean anyone convicted of killing an emergency service worker would be jailed for life. lissie harper will meet the home secretary priti patel to discuss the change in law. 0ur correspondent helena wilkinson has been to meet her. after the court case,

we were really disappointed with the verdict and the sentencing and just not getting thatjustice that andrew deserved really. so that's kind of where harper's law has come from. he was a fighter and he would love to know that, you know, instead ofjust sitting in the corner, you know, feeling sorry for myself, even though i have all the reasons to, that i'm not doing that and i'm doing something to help others, mainly the people that he respected and worked alongside. this is the protection that we can offer them and maybe it might act as a deterrent for people considering committing crimes that they are not just going to get away with it. so that is kind of why harper's law is the way we are wanting it to be. not because their lives are more important but more because they need the protection law.

you have a meeting with the home secretary priti patel. first of all, was that difficult to try and arrange? getting that confirmation of the meeting is really, really important. notjust to me, but the almost 500,000 people who had signed the petition. you've had a huge amount of support. what impact, or how has that helped you? it has helped me immensely. even from the early days when andrew was first taken from us, i have had so many messages of support. with the campaign, it's just been on a whole other level, and that's really kept me going. it's given me the focus that i needed. if all goes to plan sitting down with the home secretary next month, just imagine you are in that room, what exactly are you going to be saying to her? i think really i want to explain to her my experience, what it is like to sit in a courtroom and witness the people responsible

for taking my husband, showing no remorse and knowing that, you know, this has happened because of a choice they've made, because they made a decision to go out and commit a crime. i just want her to truly understand, as i'm sure she already does on some level, just how wrong it is that they can do that and then end up with just such a meagre conviction and sentencing. itjust isn't right and that's what i will be saying to her, that we need to do this for all of the people who go out every day putting themselves at risk, just to protect us and to look after us. that goes for all of the emergency services. you wrote an open letter to the prime minister a while ago and he said that he would respond once legal proceedings had been completed and he has now, and has sent you a letter.

just tell us what he said in that letter. i had the letter a while ago, so it was before sort of all of this. it was around all of my campaigns for a retrial and a review of the sentencing which now is being reviewed, so it was kind of a general support about that. you just touched on it. the attorney general has referred the sentences of the three teenagers to the court of appeal. what was your reaction when you first heard about that? i was relieved, because we have been kind of waiting for a decision about that. there's nothing i can do about that now, it's totally out of my hands. and ijust hope that we reach a good decision about that because obviously the attorney general has seen what we all see, that the sentences are

too lenient. 0n the other side of it, two of them, albert bowers and jesse cole, they are... they are seeking permission to appeal against their sentences. yeah. your thoughts on that? everyone knows what they've done. whether they intended to go out on that night to do that or not, this is what has happened. they need to realise that they can'tjust, you know, not deal with any sort of punishment for that. i mean, i'm not sure why they think that that's acceptable. i'll do everything i can to make sure that that doesn't happen in the future. what are days like for you? very different, entirely different actually. andrew was my whole life.

i've got this focus now i and think it's sort of got to the point now where i've actually managed to get a little bit of composure and energy to really do something good instead ofjust coping, you know, just actually achieving something that might help people in the future. let's take a look at today's papers. an air bridge between london and new york to enable travellers to side step quarantine is being discussed in top level uk—us government talks, according to the daily telegraph. the times reports that shoppers face paying more for a loaf of bread and a kilogramme of flour, amid predictions of the worst wheat harvest for a0 years. the paper says farmers blame the wet autumn and dry spring for a 40% yeild reduction. girls aloud singer sarah harding is pictured on a number of the front pages after she revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. the daily mirror says she kept the news secret from her former girls aloud band mates for months,

only telling them this week, as well as revealing that the cancer has spread. new zealand broadcaster tvnz has posted a video online of the imam of the al noor mosque, which was targeted in the christchurch shootings last year. imam gamal foud said no punishment will bring back our loved ones, after brenton tarrant was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. later in the programme we are going to be talking about popular names. there has been a change and dua has become popular. we are going to be talking about it. i know two charlies, and i was forget the second one. i always forget his name. apparently it is in the top ten of names. you are now the ninth

most popularfor boys. ten of names. you are now the ninth most popular for boys. i ten of names. you are now the ninth most popularfor boys. i did not see nagain most popularfor boys. i did not see naga in the stop clearly a clerical error! —— in there. do you know what your name means? depends who you ask, i would say. apparently, free man. does that resonate? i don't know. i haven't had that before. it may not seem like the best time to start a new business, but a lot of people are trying to think about their lives and futures ina think about their lives and futures in a different way. nina's looking at this today. yes, entrepreneurs are fundamental to the british economy, but would you start a business in the midst of a pandemic? well, figures out today from the organisation the centre for entrepreneurs shows some have taken the plunge.

as you can imagine start—up activity was pretty subdued during lockdown. new business start ups were down nearly a third in april compared to april last year. but in june, there was a big bounce back. almost a 50% increase on last year. all regions of the country saw growth with the west midlands and london doing particularly well. some of those new businesses showed evidence of the so—called "covid economy." so things like disinfection services and workwear manufacturing. but others were more traditional businesses. sometimes the best ideas are borne out of necessity right under your nose. icame up i came up with the idea because my son, when he was a toddler, was a terrible eater. the first thing i did was to go online to see if i could buy a plate with a track around the outside. i could not find one anywhere. that is when i thought, if nobody has made this, i am going to make this. launching in am going to make this. launching in a pandemic is nothing that anyone with a plan to do. i was about to launch in january with a plan to do. i was about to launch injanuary but with a plan to do. i was about to launch in january but then with a plan to do. i was about to launch injanuary but then everyone put their lives on

hold, press pause. i put paws on the business. it was a stressful time and it did not feel it was the right time to bring the product to market. fast forward a few weeks and i realised that products are launching, brands are launching. so some great ideas like that out there, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee success. according to official statistics fewer than half of uk start—ups make it beyond their first five years. and even if you can survive, it's tough. according to government figures on average, take—home pay of full time self—employed workers is almost a a quarter less than their employed counterparts. and as we know, the self—employed have found it very tough over the past few months. we would love to hear from you if you have or are thinking of starting up a business during these challenging times. we'll have a start up expert on at 07:45am, so get in touch with your questions. it is tough out

there. you are talking about the director—general of the cbi saying town centres are becoming like ghost towns. sophia, who we interviewed about her bowl to keep toddlers focused on her lunch and breakfast —— on their lunch and brea kfast, and breakfast —— on their lunch and breakfast, she has said she has had to target online sales. there are opportunities out there but it is tricky. with the bulk and i'm thinking someone could enjoy that for his porridge. someone with a new haircut? you are watching bbc breakfast. still to come. it's been closed for the longest time since world war ii, and today, after 165 days, we'll be live at the british museum as it reopens. we'll be discussing that shortly and bringing you the latest news. now let's get the weather with carol.

we could be twins. we couldn't! i am going to start by telling you about hurricane laura. it is making the news and it is making landfall. it is affecting parts of texas and louisiana. this is a powerful category four macro hurricane, at the top end. category five is the most powerful hurricane you can have. this is only seven miles an hour of being a category five. it will bring some torrential rain, devastating destructive winds. we have gusts of up to 185 miles an hour and have gusts of up to 185 miles an hourand a have gusts of up to 185 miles an hour and a huge storm surge which could travel inland a0 miles. the storm surge could itself be 20 feet high. imagine three six adults, feet, and then add some on. that is the storm surge and that is why it is called and survivable. risk to

life if you are in that actually. back at home it is cloudy and we will see rain at times. low pressure dominating the weather coming in from the west and introducing rain and showers ahead of it. it will be quite cloudy. we have already got some rain and showers with more to come. whenever you see this green and yellow on the charts that is telling you you can expect heavy bursts. you can see showers almost anywhere during the course of the day. 13 in aberdeen and 19 in london. not great for this stage of august. this evening and overnight we had a fair bit of rain and showers knocking around. we also have quite a bit of ploughed. because some clear skies which are the exception rather than the rule. as we head through the course of tomorrow, the low pressure is still with us by edging towards the north

sea allowing the wind direction to change to more of a north—westerly component. a north—easterly, i should say. you can see that quite nicely coming around scotland, northern ireland and the irish sea which will make it feel cooler. it will be breezy tomorrow. more of us seeing sunshine and rain in the south. some large waves on the north sea coast with temperatures between 12 and 19. friday into saturday, this weather front will take its time to clear south east. some rain as we had three match of the day. look at the isobars! wherever you are, you will notice this winter. it will be noticeably breezy or windy depending where you are. with that northerly, it will feel cold. into the weekend, the cold feel does remain. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also

on breakfast this morning. we'll explore why learner drivers have been struggling to book their tests because of "unprecedented demand". how do you pick a baby name? a self—styled expert will take us through the process as the top 100 baby names are revealed. and, he's made it into the history books. james anderson willjoin us after 8.30 this morning after becoming the first fast bowler to reach 600 test wickets. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a gunman who killed 51 muslim worshippers at two mosques in new zealand last year has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. it's the first time the sentence has ever been handed down in the country. 29—year—old australian brenton tarrant pleaded guilty to charges of murder and terrorism. prime ministerjacinda ardern, who was praised for her decisive response to the shootings, welcomed the sentence.

well, this has been a crime in new zealand the likes of which has never happened before. and now we are seeing a sentence, the likes we've never seen seeing a sentence, the likes we've never seen before, as well, but yes, it gave me relief to know that that person will never see the light of day. people on low incomes in parts of england where there are high rates of coronavirus will be able to claim up to 182—pounds if they have to self—isolate. a trial for the scheme will begin on the 1st of september for those who claim universal credit or working tax credit and cannot work from home. the benefit will be trialled in parts of north—west england. hurricane laura has continued to gain strength as it approaches the southern us states of texas and louisiana. officials are expecting a storm surge, which they describe as "un—survivable". water levels in some coastal communities have already begun to rise and more than half—a—million people have been told to leave their homes. a 17 year old has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two people were shot dead at protests in the us state of wisconsin.

it comes after the shooting ofjacob blake, a black man who was shot in the back seven times by a police officer in the town of kenosha. the incident has sparked several nights of protest and violence. people are being urged to take up the offer of a flu jab when they become available next month. it comes as some medics are concerned that those who are eligible for the vaccine will put off going to the gp to get it. let's get more on this with dr fari ahmad. very good morning to you. this is such an important topic right now, just coming into what would be flu season. and the message is, once again, geta season. and the message is, once again, get a vaccine. yeah, i think if you are eligible for a vaccine certainly get it. the past few months of the pandemic have given us a sliver of what life would be like or could be like if we didn't have a

vaccine and it's not been nice. this isa vaccine and it's not been nice. this is a condition for which we do have a vaccine and we have been vaccinating people regularly. with flu, people have become complacent thinking it's a bit of a cold i will be all right. this year, you certainly need to get your flu jab. the last thing you want is covid and the flu. at the same time. our people in your surgery coming forward ? people in your surgery coming forward? we've had a few enquiries already, some people are keen to get it. i'm hoping that the people who we offered a flu jab to last year who were not sure, we're too busy to come and get it, we'll take it up this year. i think we are setting up, so this year. i think we are setting up, so our this year. i think we are setting up, so ourteam this year. i think we are setting up, so our team has this year. i think we are setting up, so ourteam has been this year. i think we are setting up, so our team has been amazing working on this for a while, and it's usually quite a setup involving afairamount of it's usually quite a setup involving a fair amount of people coming in to the surgery to get it, so with social distancing and the other

requirements, it will work in a very different way, so it's almost like a military action going on trying to get everything done. safely. and make sure we get as many people vaccinated as we can. can you remind people who is eligible? the government has adjusted the age category code, if there is vaccine, change. what are the established situations at the moment? so i think the plan is to do it in a two phase response, so the plan is to do it in a two phase response, so the first phase is people who are vulnerable, people shielded, people who normally get the flu jab offered to them, with respiratory conditions, diabetes, ms, other chronic health conditions, people who are shielded and their families will also get off at the flu jab, people who are over 65, we a lwa ys flu jab, people who are over 65, we always offer them the flu jab. pregnant women. all children i think up pregnant women. all children i think up to secondary school will be getting it through school, pregnant

women getting it, if you're a front line work, health workers, care workers, but the additional people this year will also be those who are between 50 and 65. but that wave will happen a little bit later, round about november mainly because the orders for the flu vaccine, they happen months before, and so the supply initially will be used for the vulnerable people and then the government says they have ordered more, so fingers crossed that's coming through and then we should have enough to get the second lot vaccinated as well. explain a little bit more about that. you said fingers crossed. as it stands now, does your surgery have enough vaccine for what you know to be the people who will come forward and do you have enough if they extend those two different age groups? so, because flu is something we know happens every year we placed our

orders fairly early, so they went in 0ctober orders fairly early, so they went in october last year when the pandemic wasn't on anyone's radar. so we have been told that what we ordered we should be getting. the additional vaccines? they are being organised and sourced by nhs england, and we are told they will let us know how we will access them, so i think this is something people did realise a little while ago so i'm hoping we should have enough for everybody who needs one. maybe you can explain, on the face of it, what you've just said is you are hoping. is that normal? at this stage coming up to september, would you be expecting to say that? people might be hoping you would know exactly what you have or don't have and when you will have it. yeah, it's not ideal, certainly not ideal. i think there is a lag time between when the orders are put

in and the manufacturers start making the vaccine. the other problem we have is probably every other country in the northern hemisphere is going to increase their requirements for the flu vaccine, so there is a little bit of a scramble but we have been assured that this will happen and that's one of the reasons why we are saying the 50 -655 of the reasons why we are saying the 50—65s will have it offered to them around november, december. you are confident those vulnerable people right now you will be able to give them the vaccine at the right time? you will have those supplies, 100% confident? no, what we have got this year, we've got enough from the people who vaccinated last year, 00:39:41,1000 --> 00:39:42,427 and actually we are starting the clinic ina actually we are starting the clinic in a couple of weeks so i know we should have enough for the people who were vulnerable, the over 65 is, but the rest, we have been promised and hopefully it will come through. i don't know. i'd love to say i 100% confident. it should

come through. it's such an important thing to get sorted at this time of the year, especially when covid is coming, so i'm hoping there will be people on this making sure those deliveries get to us and we can get on with it. very good talking to you, as always. good luck with the weeks and months ahead. thank you. some think we will be talking about with matthew hancock at 730. jane is not the sport. —— jane has hancock at 730. jane is not the sport. ——jane has got hancock at 730. jane is not the sport. —— jane has got the sport. it's so comforting when sport makes its views very clear at something that has affected so many people? yes, a lot of times athletes feel you can't separate sport and politics, and so overnight from across the united states, nba matches were cancelled, a tennis event postponed and mls football games called off in protest at the shooting of jacob blake, games called off in protest at the shooting ofjacob blake, as we've

heard previously, a black man in wisconsin on sunday. in basketball, it all started after the milwaukee bucks decided to boycott their game against the orlando magic. bucks player george hill said they were "tired of the killings and the injustice", whilst senior vice president alex lasry tweeted that "some things are bigger than basketball". meanwhile, in the women's league, players from the atlanta dream and washington mystics took to the court in t—shirts with seven bullet holes in the back. representing the seven shots police fired into jacob blake. well former president barack 0bama said on twitter: "i commend the players on the bucks for standing up for what they believe in, coaches like docrivers, and the nba and wnba for setting an example. it's going to take all our institutions to stand up for our values." five out of the six matches in the mls were also cancelled as football took a stance. and the highest paid female athlete in the world — tennis player naomi 0saka — pulled out of her semi final match at a tournament ahead of the us open. the two time grand slam champion —

who earlier in the year travelled to minnesota to pay tribute to george floyd — said in a statement "watching the continued genocide of black people at the hands of the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach". well to put all of that into context and more — we'rejoined live by our sports reporter nesta mcgregor. nesta, just how significant is this, particularly as sport in america is dominated by black athletes? yes, good morning. as faras yes, good morning. as far as a significance, this potentially is huge. the nba is currently being played inside a bubble at disney world in orlando. we've already seen players take the knee during the national anthem and wearing slogans on their shirts as well, calling for racial equality, but last nights decision not to play was huge. it was led by the players themselves, so was led by the players themselves, so not by the nba, and the milwaukee

bucs have a chance of winning the entire tournament, so for them to pull out its huge, massively significant. as you mention, other sports followed, tennis, the wnba and major league soccer as well, and with the shooting of jacob blake on sunday, to paraphrase two athletes, one said we don't want to entertain a country that continues to kill us while another says if you can't hear the cries for justice while another says if you can't hear the cries forjustice then you also can't see our talents as well. remember, protests in american sport has been going on almost forever and in recent years we've seen a quarterback in the nfl who famously took the knee during the anthem in 2016 and hasn't played a game since and many say he's been blackballed or whiteboard, but the nba can't suspend an entire team, so this is huge. all right, thank very

much. in other sports news, celtic‘s champions league dreams are over, they suffered their earliest exit from the competition in 15 years after a shock defeat to little—known hungarian side ferencvaros in the second qualifying round. on a wet night at celtic park the home side conceeded in the first seven minutes. ryan christie then brought celtic level with a deflected shot. but they failed to make the most of their chances and regreted it when tokmak n'guen put the hungarian side 2—1 up. that's how it finished, celtic now drop into the third qualifying round of the europa league. lyon are still on course to win the women's champions league for the fifth year in a row, after beating french rivals paris saint—germain in the semi—finals. the only goal of the game came midway through the second—half when wendie renard scored from a free—kick. both sides finished with 10 players. england's nikita parris was one of those sent off, so she'll miss sunday's final against wolfsburg.

bad luck to her. that's your sport. back to you. jane, thank you so much. see you later. today marks a year since the death of 19—year—old harry dunn, who was killed after his motorbike crashed into a car outside a military base in northamptonshire. since then, harry's family have been everywhere from downing street to the white house, campaigning tirelessly to bring the driver to justice. brea kfast‘s graham satchell has been to meet them. portland on the south coast of england. it's always been a special place for harry dunn, where he came on family holidays every year. i said to the guys when it's my time to go, you know, for my ashes to be scattered here. and harry said the same. it was like, you know, "same for me, dad, this is where i want to be, as well." and then, unfortunately, you know, a month later we lost him.

definitely, it definitely is my special place, it's all our special places. harry's ashes were scattered here a few weeks ago. it's become a place for the whole family, parents, step parents, siblings, team harry, to remember and reflect. the pain that you're left with every moment of every day, 24/7, is always there so you can never not realise that he's gone. we definitely know that he's gone. harry dunn was riding his motorbike next to raf croughton in northamptonshire when he was allegedly hit head—on and killed. the driver of the car, anne sacoolas, the wife of an american intelligence officer, claimed diplomatic immunity and left the country. harry's family has been campaigning ever since to get her back to face the british justice system. if she had stayed none of this would have even come out, nobody would have known who she was, nobody would have known her name,

the children's names, the husband's name, what a job role he had. they'd have carried on being able tojust integrate into the community because we were more than willing to do everything we possibly could to ensure that she at least had a suspended sentence so that she could carry on being a mum. all we wanted was for her to go through the ukjustice system. you didn't want to see her in prison? no. not at all. want do we want? justice! when do we want it? the family's campaign has seen some remarkable successes. diplomatic immunity rules have changed. american personnel on bases in the uk will now get driver training. in december, anne sacoolas was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and an extradition request was made. harry's parents and stepparents even went to the white house. president trump said anne sacoolas was there to meet them and there was the suggestion the family might be given money.

when we were very strong and said no, that was probably why they let us out the back door of the white house and not out on to the south lawn where all the press were setup. he didn't get what he had planned to do. at their home in northamptonshire, harry's spare biking gear is where he left it the day he died. gloves, helmet, jacket. it's a source of comfort for charlotte, but she says she'll only be able to grieve properly for her son when anne sacoolas has accounted for what happened last year. you know, it was time a year ago almost, but it's absolutely time now. we don't want to go into year two of fighting. we want to go into year two to try to start to rebuild our lives, to try to start possibly celebrating who harry was. but it doesn't feel

like we are living. we are just existing at the moment. and that's why we need the justice, because without it, we will always feel like we are just existing. you're not going to give up? never. back on portland, the family stand as one. we, as a family, loved our son so much. he was a good, honest lad. he deserves the truth to be known of what happened that night, and why she was allowed to leave. we are normal people. i never follow politics, but i would say we know the difference between right and wrong and so did harry. so that's why we can't stop. it's for harry. a year after harry dunn died, his family are united in grief and determined to carry on the fight for justice.

graham satchell, bbc news. a scheme that's been described as a "foodbank" for britain's theatre workers is being extended, despite venues being allowed to reopen. but many will stay shut because social distancing makes it too costly to run, and many of the freelance workers are finding they don't qualify for any of the government schemes. here's our arts correspondent, david sillito. uh—oh, anxiety that seems to have made its way inside of me and i don't even need to read this one because i know it only too well. i'm loussin—torah pilikian and i am a theatre actress. and it goes a little something like liquid panic. so march was when we started. bending their wills, the mountain. i had just secured my dream acting job with represent theatre. i literally jumped up

and down on my sofa. i came downstairs, i was screaming to my mum, "i've gotten in!" three, four. # there is a crack in the mountains...# and then, just a day or two into rehearsal, everything stopped. it was crushing, it was crushing. to go from feeling financially confident, to be able to pay the bills, to be able to eat. when would you guess you'll next perform in front of an audience? i can't. i can't guess. loussin's story is a familiar one. an industry that has shut down and left thousands without an income, which is why the director sam mendes has set up the theatre artists fund. somehow, there's this big hole in this funding package whereby the money is not making it to those people. so really, we started it almost in the sense of a food bank, you know, just emergency funds to keep people from giving up the industry

entirely. some theatres have had a go at opening with social distancing, but, for most, it's impossible and company support schemes, company manager amy dolan has tried them all. beginning with a self—employed income support scheme. so i applied for that, thinking i was going to get it and unfortunately found out i was ineligible. i then went to the local council in glasgow who said we're doing a self—employed hardship fund for those that are self—employed but missed out on the government scheme. again, i was ineligible for that. and then i tried more of the arts base funding, such as creative scotland, but time and time again i was just getting turned away for one reason or another. which is why sam mendes is continuing to fundraise as the arts shutdown look set to continue. the arts are always asking for money, aren't they? it does feel a bit like a luxury, doesn't it, theatre, when there are so many other people struggling? for me, i think there is a myth that the arts lives on

hand—outs. the arts lives, you know, as a sort of luxury profession. and that argument tends to ignore the fact that this is a massive economic growth engine that brings millions, billions of pounds into this country every year, not only in the form of ticket sales, but in the form of activities that go around going to the theatre or cinema. restaurants, hotels, tourism. so we are talking about £32 billion a year and more people go to see live performances in this country than go to see live football. i'll be getting ready and then fear creeps in. for loussin, dreams, life, it's all on hold. you seem remarkably cheerful. i think that's just part of me. i'm somebody that, i've always got a big smile on my face. david sillitoe, bbc news. a great smile.

well as we've been hearing many theatres remain shut but some cultural venues are preparing to welcome people back. the british museum is one of them. it reopens today after closing in march. 0ur reporter ben bland there for us this morning to see how they're getting on. good morning to you. i don't know if you had a chance to talk to them inside the museum yet but they must be very excited? they are, very much so. be very excited? they are, very much so. this majestic lion is getting ready to welcome people back. a long closure for the museum, in fact, the longest peacetime closure and its entire history. the british museum has been years since 1759, the old est has been years since 1759, the oldest national public museum in the world. to give you a sense of that, it predates the founding of america, the declaration of independence, and one of its most famous visitors, the young mozart when he visited london with his parents and nowadays they get 6.5 million visitors a year and august is normally peak—time for them. let's find out from

the museum is ahead of her collection. sandra smith. how they're going to like in paperback? presumably can't have a normal number through? no, normally we are 17,000 people a day but at the moment we are bringing in 2000 people, so they will have a fantastic opportunity to see the collection in a very quiet way as they've never seen before. when people step through the doors, what experience will they have? will it be like before? there is a one-way syste m be like before? there is a one-way system in place and there will be only the first floor gallery is available, the ground floor at the moment, and they will be taken on a route which will take them through ancient egypt, the greek and roman collections, the america, africa, enlightenment galleries, so an opportunity to see 9000 objects on display. how much hard work has gone into it to get the museum to appoint where it can open its doors again?

lots and lots of effort both beforehand lots and lots of effort both before hand looking after the lots and lots of effort both beforehand looking after the objects making sure they are clean and presentable for our visitors, making sure they are back on display, the objects put in store during the time of covid, and we set up social distancing methodology, cleaning stations, we are covid secure in the museum and waiting for visitors to arrive. we ask visitors to wear masks to look after themselves and each other. but it should be a very safe experience where they can see the collection. i have to say, sandra, one of my earliest memories of visiting the museum is on a school trip. what the situation with that? they won't be allowed back in the immediate future. we need to learn what it will be like to bring people back and make sure that schools are secure and people are secure schools are secure and people are secure before we bring them back but what we are doing is putting more and more information on the website, so and more information on the website, so teachers can and more information on the website, so teachers can use our and more information on the website, so teachers can use our collections

virtually and share the museum with the children that way. 0k, sandra, thank you very much. those 2000 spots each day sandra mentioned you've got to pre—book them so don't turn up expecting to just walk in, because like so much else in life these days pre—book on the websites. thank you very much. many people will be happy. it feels like a symbol of another thing back to normal. it's good. baby steps. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. we have been talking about this hurricane season and laura is under survivable, the damage, in some parts of the usa. that's right, yes, hurricane laura is no landfall in southwest louisiana affecting texas, and you can see it nicely here on the satellite picture. hurricane laura isa satellite picture. hurricane laura is a category four hurricane and

at the top end and to be category five would have to reach 157 miles an hour. but it does have gusts of 185 miles an hour. you can see in the video sequence in the track it's taking, picking up energy from the gulf of mexico, and it's coming not just with torrential rain between now and also friday, and we could have a lot of rain, up to about 12 inchesin have a lot of rain, up to about 12 inches in places. it has a storm surge that could make it inland, a0 miles. that's london to reading or maidstone, and it could be 20 foot high. imagine 36 adults with more on top of them and that the storm surge and why it's been called unsurvivable. the photo, cars will start to six foot, you could be in that water and have a car coming straight towards that water and goodness knows what else, so this is

a really strong devastating hurricanes. back at home we are looking at cloudy skies today. some rain at times, any of us could catch some rain at any point. this low pressure is coming in from the atla ntic pressure is coming in from the atlantic bringing in some showers ahead of it and also some rain. so, ahead of it and also some rain. so, a lot of cloud to start with. we have got some rain. wherever you see greens and yellows on the chart, it is telling you where we are looking up is telling you where we are looking up some heavier bursts. temperatures today are nothing to write home about four this stage in august. 12 in the north, 19 in the south. 0vernight, once again, we will hang on to the rain, so the potential for some of them to be heavy. a favourite of cloud around, as well, and it won't be a particularly cold night. seven in lerwick, 12 in birmingham, 13 in london. tomorrow, low pressure continuing to drift toward the north sea. you can also see the wind starts to change

direction and it has a northerly component to it as we go through tomorrow, so it's going to start to feel colder and it's going to be quite a windy day. the strongest wind coming down through western areas and also the north sea where we will see some large waves. temperatures, 12—19, but if you are in the wind, don't forget the northerly component and it will feel quite cold. friday into the weekend, slowly the weather front clears and then we've got dry weather for many areas but still quite windy, particularly seo on saturday. and that wind coming from the north means it is going to feel cold wherever you are and the rain will drag its heels in terms of clearing from the far south—east. temperatures, 12 in the north, 17 in the south. lower than we would expect at this time of year, plus add on the wind and it will feel cooler still. the weekend, it's going to be chilly, windy, particularly on saturday, and we are looking at chilly nights. it's worth

mentioning, as well, there's another typhoon and i will tell you about that later on but the headlines are next. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today... life without parole for the gunman, who shot and killed 51 people at two mosques in new zealand — the sentence is the longest in the country's history. but today i hope is the last where we have any cause

to hear or utter the name of the terrorist behind it. his deserves to be a lifetime of complete and utter silence. £13 per day — the government trials payments for those on low incomes who have to self isolate in england. forecasters warn of an "un—survivable" storm surge as hurricane laura approaches the gulf coast of the united states. what's the big idea? june saw a boom in new business start—ups — like this one — after an early lockdown slump. who're the entrepreneurs brave enough to take the plunge during lockdown? the world of sport unites in protest against sunday's shooting of jacob blake, a black man in wisconsin. as of last night, all basketball games in the nba are cancelled, a tennis tournament is paused and several football matches

postponed. it's thursday 27th august. our top story. a man who opened fire on two mosques in new zealand last year and killed 51 people has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. it's the first time the sentence has ever been handed down in the country. 29—year—old australian brenton tarrant pleaded guilty to charges of murder and terrorism. thejudge described his actions as "inhuman." 0ur correspondent shaimaa khalil has more. for three emotionally—charged days, brenton tarrant, the killer responsible for the massacre in two christchurch mosques, sat in the dock as dozens of survivors and bereaved families spoke to him directly with a mix of anger and grief. i never would have ever imagined that the country in which my parents emigrated to for safety and for a successful future for their children would result in this. this didn't have to

happen. while you are in prison, you'll come to reality that you are now in hell, and only the fire awaits you. today, the judge spent more than an hour reminding tarrant of each person he killed and injured and the agony the families and the muslim community now face. then he handed down the sentence. your offending constituted extreme violence. it was brutal and beyond callous. your actions were inhuman. brenton tarrant is now the first man in new zealand to be given a full life term with no parole. in many of their impact statements, survivors and bereaved families have asked the judge for exactly that. today, they feeljustice has been served. translation: she is happy thatjustice has been served but he is a monster —

evil, and deserves everything that comes to him. when i go back to turkey, i'm going to go to my son's grave and tell my son that he is jailed for a life sentence without parole. the prime minister, jacinda ardern, also welcomed the courts decision. this has been a crime in new zealand, the likes of which has never occurred before. now we have seen a sentence the likes of which we have never seen before. but yes, it gave me relief to know that that person will never see the light of day. the sentencing ends one of the highest profile cases in new zealand, but march 15th 2019 will go down as a dark day in the country's history. the trauma and the tragic loss will stay with the families

long after. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. people on low incomes, who have to self—isolate and can't work from home, will be able to claim payments of up to £13 a day under a new government scheme. from the 1st of september, the scheme will be trialled in blackburn, darwen, pendle and 0ldham before being rolled out to other areas of england with high levels of coronavirus. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is here to tell us more. this is something that has been pushed for, particularly when people are being told to isolate and will potentially lose income. it has been. these are payments which should be made to people who have already tested positive for coronavirus and had to isolate for ten days or people who are having to stay at home for 1a days because they either live with someone with temper macro or had come into close contact with someone with covid,

then they get the £182. there are conditions. you cannot work from home and he will lose money. the government says there will be checks on that. you have to already be claiming working tax credit or universal credit to qualify, that is how the government seems to be defining low income. it is strongly tied to the nhs test and tray system. if you are claiming this money not because you yourself have tested positive but because you need to isolate you would need that official instruction from nhs test and traced to claim it. it has an incentive to boost engagement with the test and trace system. the big driver behind this is to make sure people do stay at home if they need to make sure they have the money to do that. hurricane laura is making landfall on the southern coast of the united states battering parts of louisiana and texas with winds exceeding 150—miles—an—hour. officials are expecting a storm surge, which they describe as "un—survivable. "

more than half a million people have been told to leave their homes. simonjones reports. residents in a rush to make their properties safe and then get out of harm's way. a sign of what's to come. the wind whipping up in texas, heralding the arrival of laura, a category four hurricane, expected to bring winds of 170 miles an hour and a wall of water that could be two storeys high. it's going to be real bad. we are leaving. we don't want to go, i don't want to go, but my children want to go. 0thers though have decided to stay put. all we can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. so sticking it out and just going to see what happens. satellite images show what has already happened. laura has undergone a remarkable transformation. the national hurricane centre is predicting an extremely dangerous hurricane. this has been categorised

repeatedly as an un—survivable storm surge, where it will be hitting. and that storm surge could continue inland for about 30 miles. this is the damage laura has already wreaked in the caribbean, claiming 2a lives. it's a warning for people in texas and louisiana. their evacuation is being complicated by coronavirus, the challenge to try to keep people both safe from the storm and socially—distanced. but with water levels already rising, authorities say any rescue operation will prove challenging, if not impossible. simon jones, bbc news. a 17—year—old has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two people were shot dead at protests in the us state of wisconsin. it comes after the shooting ofjacob blake, a black man who was shot seven times by a police officer in the town of kenosha. the incident has sparked several nights of protest and violence. david willis

reports. don't shoot. into a vacuum created by daily protests and an initially overstretched police force has come armed vigilantes — one of whom was caught on camera before tuesday night's violence. reports suggest the individual interviewed, 17—year—old kyle rittenhouse later put his weapon to use. this mobile phone footage appears to capture the moment someone fires on protesters and later zooms in on an individual lying motionless on the ground. another video appears to show a similar incident, again a protester is gunned down. two people were killed, a third seen here, was injured. someone who appeared to be armed was later seen walking with his hands up towards the police. a 17—year—old has since been charged with first—degree murder. all this in response to sunday's shooting of a black man, jacob blake,

by a white police officer. officials say the officer, rustin chesky, fired seven times into mr blake's back after being called upon to investigate a domestic dispute. during the investigation following the initial incident, mr blake admitted that he had a knife in his possession. dci agents, the division of criminal investigation, recovered a knife from the driver's side floorboard of mr blake's vehicle. a search of the vehicle located no additional weapons. president trump, in a series of tweets, vowed to clamp down on the violence in kenosha, whilst, in a video message, his democratic rival joe biden, appealed for calm. protesting brutality is a right and absolutely necessary but burning down communities is not protest, it's needless violence. in a statement, the local basketball team, the milwaukee bucks, announced a surprise boycott of their play—off game in response to the shooting of

jacob blake. it is possible the entire season could now be injeopardy. meanwhile, hundreds of national guard officers have now been sent to kenosha, as the latest protests over police brutality and racial injustice threaten to spread across the country. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. lawyers for the manchester united captain, harry maguire, have lodged an appeal after a greek court convicted him of assaulting local police officers, and attempting to bribe them. the footballer received a 21—month suspended prison sentence — let's speak with journalist anthee carassava, who is in the greek capital athens this morning. she has been our guide to proceedings in greece involving harry maguire. the fundamental question, in greek law, as we speak this morning, is harry maguire an innocent man? if you are asking me if he has a criminal record

here now at this point in process, the answer isa at this point in process, the answer is a flat out now. if you are asking me whether the criminal conviction, whether the conviction still stands after this appeal that has been lodged, the answer is yes. this is because he was served with a three—year suspended sentence and that means that he... that this conviction still is in effect but for a three—year period, unless he is back in greece exercising and behaving the same way and arrested or picked up, you know, conducting himself in the same way with similar offences, then these charges will ta ke offences, then these charges will take effect, these convictions and the sentencing. but what we are waiting for right now is to see when the appeal trial will take place. at best we are hearing within one

year, factoring in the coronavirus and all these delays in the legal process, we may see this trial hitting a greek court room within three years. thank you very much. a judge has the called the actions of a gunman who murdered 51 people as "wicked and "inhuman". brenton tarrant livestreamed his attack on worshipers at two mosques in christchurch. he's today been sentenced to life without parol — —— parole — a first for new zealand. we can speak now to tv—nz reporter ryan boswell. ryan, what happened in court? he followed this all week in court. it has been very emotional for the families, obviously. —— you followed. for the first time in new zealand history, life means life. brenton tarrant will never walk free again. he has been sent to prison for life with no parole. many victims and families were clearly

relieved with the outcome today. many have branded him the devil, a coward and the biggest loser and are quite happy with today's outcome, it is what they have been calling for. thejudge pointed to is what they have been calling for. the judge pointed to tarrant and said he had offered no apology and no remorse and his crimes were simply filled with hate. tarrant was able to address the court but chose not to. he simply said he did not oppose the sentence as it was handed down. today we did see many victims and their families turn down. today we did see many victims and theirfamilies turn up down. today we did see many victims and their families turn up to court outsidejust behind me. they erupted into applause and some when they found out today plasma outcome, clearly relieved they can move on to the next stage of their lives and put this behind them. as i said you had been following this all week. you have spoken about the significance of the sentence. —— you have been. some quotes from

those giving testimony, sara, his father died at the al noor mask said, i wonder if he was in pain, if he were frightened and what his final thoughts were. i wish more than anything i could have been there to hold his hand and tell him was ok but i could not do that. you said brenton tarrant decided not to speak in court. was there any information about how the impact statements, their testimonies from victims, if they had any effect? quite clearly these victims and families had been so, so brave to confront this gunman and tell him what they think and how their lives have ever been changed by his actions. throughout the last three days, tarra nt by his actions. throughout the last three days, tarrant said he would look these victims in the eyes. in some cases he would nod in agreement with what they were saying. again

he has not said sorry to these people. he has expressed no remorse and so thejudge he has expressed no remorse and so the judge slamming him he has expressed no remorse and so thejudge slamming him today he has expressed no remorse and so the judge slamming him today for his lack of empathy with these people and what they have gone through. quite clearly, these people have suffered in such a horrendous way and the support of new zealand and kiwis across the country has been so immense, they have really come together to support this community through this horrific time. when you lose a loved one like this, there is no real way of truly getting over it. quite clearly, there was some relief with today's sentence from those people who have been so sadly affected by this tragedy. jacinda ardern was praised soon after this horrific incident for reacting quickly. she has spoken as well. the action the authorities has taken on the sentence, it cannot be more emphasised, it cannot be more

stressed how important it was to make sure justice was done. absolutely. jacinda ardern, the prime minister, right from the outset, said that she was never going to add to his name. a lot of kiwis took up that call as well and have been quite critical when this man's name is uttered in the media, printed and even talked about in the community. a lot of kiwis have jumped on board with that. she was quite relieved with today's sentence and says she hopes this type of crime does not ever happen in new zealand again. this man is an australian national and australia has in fact sent back kiwi criminals who committed crimes in australia to new zealand and there have been calls by new zealand's foreign minister to send this man back to australia. there are some discussions going on between the

prime minister and the foreign minister to get rid of this gunman fled to get rid of this murderer out of new zealand and send him back to his homeland. jacinda ardern has said she wants to speak to the community, the muslim community here in new zealand to find out their thoughts on that and then they will have to be discussions with australia's political leaders before thatis australia's political leaders before that is even entertained. we will keep an eye on that. learner drivers trying to book their practical tests will have to wait even longer after the booking system crashed for a second time in a week. the situation has been described as "chaotic" by instructors who say pupils are spending hundreds to keep their skills up—to—date. 0n the 20th of march, the government suspended driving tests across the uk to prevent the spread of covid—19 from extended contact between people in vehicles. last friday was the first time that learners in england and wales could book a new test after lockdown.

0nline bookings reopened but the website crashed and the service had to be taken offline. yesterday, the driving test booking service re—opened and the dvsa had introduced a queueing system. just over 35,000 appointments were released in the morning butjust before 5pm there were more than 250,000 people still in the virtual queue. by 5.30pm, all of the slots had been taken. how patient would you be if you add 250,000 in the queue? so frustrating. we can speak now to driving intsructor, dave dunsford. good to see this morning. tell me what you have been doing the last few days and how your pupils have been. thank you for giving us this platform. it has been chaos. it was difficult enough for driving

instructors like everyone else to lose theirjobs, sort of technically. when we were allowed to come back it was fantastic news. we cannot plan ahead for peoples because of the six week cycle they have given us. the db essay is telling us to make sure a people is ready to a test. if he were to fail, goodness knows how long you would wait for a retest. i had a people myself, jack, who went online, was ina myself, jack, who went online, was in a queue for nine hours and gave up in a queue for nine hours and gave up and then he was told the second time he was in the queue and there we re over time he was in the queue and there were over 100,000, exactly the figures you are talking about. the third time he said there was a big queue, and this might be a big tip, he rang between three o'clock and four o'clock in the morning and he was successful. he has a test that. he was ready on march the 23rd, so you can imagine his disappointment.

—— a test booked. you can imagine his disappointment. -- a test booked. yes, terrible. it is nerve—racking even without the pandemic. what will change in terms of covid restrictions and minimal social interaction? there is lots of conversations, as you can imagine, going on. we are not allowed in the test centre. when you turn up with eight people, you need to get out of the car and make sure ppe is in place. my own driving school, we have a set system where the car is clea n. have a set system where the car is clean. an examiner will come to find them. they had to wear a mask. as soon as them. they had to wear a mask. as soon as they commit a serious fault, they will be brought straight back to the test centre. the rear windows understandably had to be left open. there are horror stories of some examiners insisting in the pouring

rain that the back windows are open practically fully bringing the car back soaking wet. for pupils, when they get back, they need to be out of the car to have a debriefing eat either side of the car. really strange times met really stressful for peoples. the main problem we are having is we cannot plan ahead. we cannot expect people to keep paying money for driving lessons to keep them ticking over when there is no endgame, no end result. that is a thing. you know you cannot get a test, then why should you have lessons ? test, then why should you have lessons? how is it affecting your business? many driving instructors have struggled because of the arrangements, leasing their cars and not having any pupils to fund the business, effectively self employment. it was great news that

we could come back, we were campaigning to get back, we had ppe in place. as soon as we get back, what happens? we cannot get peoples ina diary, what happens? we cannot get peoples in a diary, a workable diary. we cannot expect many to be paid out without an endgame. now with jack, he has a test at the end of september, so i will now work his driving lessons backwards to today, so we driving lessons backwards to today, so we know how many lessons he has got to make sure he is polished up and make sure he grasps the opportunity he has been given and hopefully he passes. opportunity he has been given and hopefully he passeslj opportunity he has been given and hopefully he passes. i wish jack all the best and you as well. thank you for talking to us. the guidance around wearing face coverings in schools differs in each of the uk nations. the welsh government has said it will be up to head teachers and councils to decide. but opposition parties and some education unions have accused ministers of passing the responsibility to schools. we can discuss this

with the welsh health minister, vaughan gething. very good morning to you. thank you for your time. do you want to clarify very clearly for pupils, pa rents clarify very clearly for pupils, parents and teachers what is the position with face masks in schools in wales? we have taken account of the advice we have had from our own scientific expert advisory group and thatis scientific expert advisory group and that is we recommend the use of face coverings if social distancing is not possible. there are a range of risk factors to be looked at law schools to come to a conclusion on that. we had to take account of very low transmission rates in wales, lower than when schools went back at the end ofjune. there had been a range of factors to help schools make these choices. different schools will have a different context. we have some new 20th

schools built in the last decade that are in a different setting and context that are in a different setting and co ntext fro m that are in a different setting and context from schools built this decade. you are a health minister and you have the advantage of expert scientific and medical advice but you are asking head teachers, who are experts in teaching, to make what is manifestly a medical decision about what is safe in their schools. a lot of people are saying, including unions, but you are making head teachers make decisions that government should make. that is not the unified view from unions. we had had to do a lot of work over a quick time since the world health 0rganization changed its advice and public health scotland changed its opinion as well. of course, all schools have worked with the operational guidance provided by the

welsh government to get ready for school opening in any event and they had to ensure they have as safe an environment as possible. how did they change the way schools work on entry? what about people milling around the building already? having more points for hand sanitisation and hand washing. it is about them making choices that if in a high school they do not believe social distancing will be possible in some of those communal areas, they do not believe the building is well ventilated, there is framework for them to make a choice about whether they should recommend face coverings to be worn. 0n school transport they have given practical choices. some local authorities will be able to ring local transport and only have one particular school's children on that bus. i know time is limited.

cani that bus. i know time is limited. can i clarify one thing quest what you said if the head teacher makes a decision that face coverings are to be worn, they could recommend it to students. does that mean a head teacher has a right to make it mandatory in a school? i am trying not to quibble over terminology that recommending is different to saying it is mandatory. -- that recommending. this is the advice we had given. in areas where it is recommended, and it can be recommended, and it can be recommended, the problem mandating this, you have to consider a range of exemptions. for example if you have children who are diverse, they do not have the virus touted in the community which can lead to other problems and other challenges. when you move to the stage of imagination, i think there has to be

a choice. we may mandate the use of face coverings. just to be absolutely clear and is there a situation in which a head teacher can say, everyone has to, i can mandate to commit where a face mask in my school? do they have that right? that is not the advice we are giving schools. advice is not to do that. you had to consider that for young people the biggest benefit is for them to return to learning within a school environment. —— you have to consider. parents and learners are keen to return and follow all the advice schools are giving to try to make the school a safe environment and this is not a straightforward choice where the government can make a one size fits all approach because we have some of the lowest transmission rates and some of our local authorities in mainland britain. to introduce

something requiring people to receive education, with the evidence we got yesterday and advice we just got, is not to mandating in all school settings. it is working with schools and trade unions because most are pretty content with the advice we had given and giving a very clear steer about how that can be done and communicated between schools, teachers and learners. thank you for your time. we are slightly tight for time but thank you for going through that for us. just explaining how that will work in practice in schools in wales, specifically. you are watching bbc breakfast. still to come... arthur, kylo and dua — just some of the names to make it on the list of the most popular picks for new parents. we'll speak to a baby name expertjust before 8am. now let's get the weather with carol.

you are focusing on a lady called laura who is going to bring some pretty horrendous damage to parts of the usa? good morning, that's right, in fact laura has already made landfill in southwest louisiana and is going to be affecting texas, as well, as we go through the next period of time. it's a category four hurricane, seven miles an hour short of being a category five, the top level, but this is a devastating hurricanes. if we follow the satellite, you can see how it gathered pace in the gulf of mexico, increasing the wind strength, at the moment of 150 miles an hour, sustained wind, and more than that, 185 miles an hour gusts. it's going to bring torrential rain without, risk of flooding. 8—12 inches between now and friday. a storm surge up between now and friday. a storm surge up to 20 feet high. imagine not coming your way. of course,

places have been evacuated, tornado warnings in force, and devastating weather. it's also worth mentioning that in north korea already this morning, a typhoon has made landfall, also bringing flooding and also damaging winds and heavy rain. back at home it's much quieter. a mainly cloudy day ahead with rain at times, courtesy of this low pressure coming in from the atlantic with its attendant fronts and bringing with it some rain preceded by some showers. a fairly cloudy day for us today, as well, and we have got rain and showers and whenever you see greens and yellows on the chart, it tells you where you can expect heavy downpours and you can catch it anywhere through the course of the day. temperatures today a bit disappointing for the stage in august, 12 in lerwick, only 13 in aberdeen, 17 in liverpool and 19 in london. through this evening and overnight, a lot of cloud and rain and a lot of showers, as well. as

a result of all bets, it's not going to bea result of all bets, it's not going to be a particularly cold night with temperatures falling between 7—13. so if we pick up this area of low pressure tomorrow, it slowly starts to me and in the direction of the north sea and the wind brings a northerly component to it, a cooler direction for us. tomorrow, brighter skies but we will have a northerly component of the wind as we roll through northern ireland and the irish sea. that will make it feel cool and we have rain across england and wales. temperatures not great a nyway and wales. temperatures not great anyway and then add on the northerly wind, it will feel cooler and the temperatures suggest that. friday into saturday, the weather front very slowly starts to drift away and if you look at the isobars it will bea if you look at the isobars it will be a breezy day wherever you are and that wind coming from the north. there will be a lot of dry weather, behind this band of rain, with temperatures, well, up to 17.

hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. people on low incomes could get £13 a day if they've been asked to self—isolate and can't work from home. the scheme will operate in areas of england with high levels of coronavirus. a trial for the scheme will begin on the 1st of september for those who claim universal credit or working tax credit. we're joined now by the health secretary matt hancock. good morning. how are you? good, how are you? good, thank you. let's talk about these figures, you're talking £130 for people tested positive, for ten days of isolation, with close contact with him will have to isolate a 1a days and will get £182, so isolate a 1a days and will get £182, so those are the figures, so how did you come to those figures being an a cce pta ble you come to those figures being an acceptable amount for people to live

on? well, this is extra funding in addition to the other benefits people get. for people who have to self—isolate because either they have tested positive macro—french in contact with somebody who tested positive and have been left therefore told by nhs to test and trace they need to start fights late and it's all about trying to stop the spread of this virus by making sure people who test positive stay at home and don't infect others and their contacts who are obviously at high risk of having the virus also do the same and one of the pieces of feedback we got, especially from areas of low income, is that making sure people get that extra support they are paid to self—isolate when they are paid to self—isolate when they are paid to self—isolate when they are requested to by nhs test and trace and that will help us get the last few percentages up, because nhs test and trace is now

reaching almost 80% of the contacts. 80% is the target. when did that happen because it was 71%, wasn't it? it's good, it's going up, there is further figures out today. but on last week it was over 75%. we are nearly there at the 80% figure, which is the goal and by international standards, it's very good but obviously we want to reach more people and crucially when we do reach them and say you must self—isolate, we need to make sure that they have that support, especially if they are on low incomes and hence this extra support. yes, it's reported test and trace have said to increase those who are participating in test and trace, they need to have this

income support. is £13 a day enough? it's in addition to the other benefits that people on low incomes get. yes, but they will be losing their income from the work they're to do. only in some cases, but absolutely, we acknowledge that. it is set at the level of statutory thick pay in order to make sure that people don't lose out from doing the right thing. we are introducing it in 0ldham and pendle and blackburn in the first insta nce pendle and blackburn in the first instance —— sick pay. these are the areas of the country where the rates areas of the country where the rates are highest and alliance the strongest local lockdown, if you like, and we'll roll that out from next week and then obviously monitor it's very closely and of course we speak to one of these people through nhs test and trace. we are in contact with them and so we get a very good feedback on how the

system is working. 0ne very good feedback on how the system is working. one of the pieces of feedback was we need to put an extra support for people who are asking to self—isolate and we will find out how that goes. it's only going to be donein how that goes. it's only going to be done in areas with local lockdown is. why? people across the country wa nt to is. why? people across the country want to contribute, want to help, wa nt to want to contribute, want to help, want to keep others safe, why can't eve ryo ne want to keep others safe, why can't everyone be entitled to this? this is where we are doing it in the first instance to firstly to make sure that the systems work. that we can get the money fast to people because obviously if you're asking somebody to self—isolate for a fortnight we want to get the money to them at the start of that rather than afterwards. and so we are putting it in place in these three areas which have the most acute need if you like in the first instance, and we'll see how that goes, and we will get the feedback, and then we have the potential to roll it out

further. it's very much about strength strength of the test and tray system which is performing well by international standards but obviously i want to just keep improving it because the combination of test and trace and the local lockdown is is one of the things thatis lockdown is is one of the things that is keeping our rate of infection flat at the moment. you've made that very clear. the mayor area of manchester andy burnham is asked if this money is enough to encourage people to isolate at home rather than go to work and he says he doesn't think so. i tell you why i quote him is because he is in one of these lockdowns and has obviously had numerous conversations and he doesn't think this is going to make a difference. have you had conversations with those in charge of local lockdown is who have said to you absolutely this is the way to go? yes, we absolutely have and you

are right, 0ldham is in greater manchester, and the other areas are in lancashire rather than greater manchester and actually, working closely with the local authority who has the statutory duty is a really important part of this. not least because one of the other features of test and trace that we have built in as we have developed the system is that if the national system can't get hold of somebody or can't contact them then actually at the local directors of public health, the local people who can go and knock on the door and tried to get in contact if the national system can't reach them on the phone, so that interaction with the local council is absolutely critical. andy burnham is the mayor of greater manchester and has responsibilities across the whole of greater manchester, but in 0ldham, in that council, we are working very, very closely with the director of public health and also in the other areas

of local lockdown, so this is all about strengthening the system which didn't even exist a couple of months ago. it has had some quite serious scrutiny but is now working incredibly effectively, but we want to make it work better. and we want to make it work better. and we want to make it work better. and we want to make sure that everybody, no matter their income level, gets the support they need to do the right thing because the combination... do you really think £13 a day is enough? it is in addition to existing funding. it's because it's to help replace the fact people are going to lose income from work which would be a lot more than £13 a day. there is a posh, why don't you treat this like they allow and encourage employers to guarantee that they can either pay employees who self—isolate or at least guarantee they won't lose theirjobs because this is the thing, many are going back to work because they fear the loss of jobs back to work because they fear the loss ofjobs and the loss of not being able to feed their families in

your offering them £13 a day. we are offering them that in addition to the other benefits that they get. you know, we have started at the level of statutory sick pay and obviously we will be working to see how effective this is on the ground. 0k, how effective this is on the ground. ok, let's talk about the flu vaccinations. bbc research is showing the number of vulnerable people getting the flu jab has fallen in recent years and obviously there is a push now to make sure that enough people get the flu jab. how are you going to change that, the fact that the number of those vulnerable are falling in terms of getting it? well, i haven't seen those figures, and the number of people who got the flu jab last year was up, which is good, and important. and this year we have the biggest flu jab programme ever. important. and this year we have the biggest flu jab programme everlj will brief you with the numbers, starting with england,

for example, in 2015, 501%, of the most vulnerable got the flu jab and in 2020, it was down to a5%. this is research being done by charities and academics. scotland, it has fallen the same with wales and also fallen in northern ireland, 71% down to 58%. i will look at that research and enormous amounts of research into how we get the vaccination programme rolled out. especially with coronavirus, we are hoping that we will have a coronavirus vaccine too at some point in the future. there no guarantees on that. talk about the flu one because that's the one we know we have. exactly, i was going to come onto that. they are actually connected because we have the biggest flu jab programme ever

this autumn, we've expanded it because we don't want a flu outbreak at the same time as dealing with coronavirus. and, in fact, at the same time as dealing with coronavirus. and, infact, if at the same time as dealing with coronavirus. and, in fact, if all things go very well, we may have to roll them out concurrently at the same time. so we've got the biggest programme that we've ever had. we've bought more flu jab than ever before, there is a huge programme within the nhs to roll it out. in fa ct, within the nhs to roll it out. in fact, we are changing the law so more people can administer the jobs because i want pharmacists to administer them and nurses and technicians as well as gps as traditionally has happened. can you guarantee that all of those, it's been expanded as well the 50 plus group, 50—6a have also been advised that they are in the next group after the most vulnerable, to receive the vaccine. we've spoken to gps who have received letters saying

we can only give it to that particular group if you have enough left over. the gps we are talking to our saying fingers crossed we have enough, i'm hoping we should have enough, i'm hoping we should have enough for everyone, we can't guarantee that if you are in this next group, 50—6a, that you will get the flu jab in november. wejust have to wait for guidance which isn't coming to us until september. i say until september, that's next week. next week, could gps have this guidance? the answer to this is we have set this out very clearly in public which is that the most important group to get the flu jab are the most vulnerable, if they get the flu, so we absolutely are targeting efforts at getting as many of the over 65 is as possible, and those with underlying health conditions who need the flu jab. in the first instance. we will then extend their three flu jab to the over 50s, those

between 50—6a, if we have enough. but the truth is that there is a global increase in demand for the flu vaccine. we've bought more than ever before, i hope we can get a big increase the proportion of the over 65s you are getting it, because they are the people if they get the flu, they are much more likely to go to hospital. if you're aged between 50... let likely to go to hospital. if you're aged between 50. .. let me answer the question, and then we will roll it out to be under 65 is, 50 upwards, as and when we can see how well the over 65 programme is going. but the critical thing i just wanted over 65 programme is going. but the critical thing ijust wanted to make this point and i'm happy to answer further questions, the critical point is this. for your viewers, if you are over 65, debt of the flu jab and if you have underlying health conditions that mean you get a three flu jab, gutted and if you are a health worker, you get it for free and you must get

it. it's so important that we control the flu, especially this year of all years. if you are between 50—6a and you sure you are supposed to have a job at don't have enough, would you worry? no, because those who are under 65 are less likely to have a bad flu and to end up in hospital. but of course, we want to go as far as we can and so for the over 50s, it will be available. 0nce as we can and so for the over 50s, it will be available. once we have done the core work of trying to get to as many of the over 65 is an those who have got underlying health conditions as possible. matt hancock, health secretary, thank you for your time this morning. very good tojoin you. time now for a look at the sport. jane, the shooting ofjacob lake in wisconsin is now having a bearing on

big sporting occasions in the usa, as well, so take us to do what happened. yes, charlie, there's been significant developments all over the united states even prompting the former president to get involved. 0vernight, all nba matches were cancelled, a tennis event postponed and mls football games called off. it's all in protest at the shooting ofjacob blake, a black man in wisconsin on sunday. in basketball it all started after the milwaukee bucks — who are from wisconsin — decided to boycott their game against the orlando magic. bucks player george hill said they were "tired of the killings and the injustice", whilst senior vice president alex lasry tweeted that "some things are bigger than basketball". meanwhile in the women's league, players took to the court in t—shirts with seven bullet holes in the back. representing the seven shots police fired into jacob blake. the atlanta dream and washington mystics players then took a knee in protest. and former president barak 0bama tweeted: "i commend the players on the bucks for standing up

for what they believe in, coaches like docrivers, and the nba and wnba for setting an example. its going to take all our institutions to stand up for our values." well, five out of the six matches in the mls were also cancelled as football took a stance. and in tennis, naomi 0saka, the highest paid female athlete in the world, pulled out of her semi final match at a tournament ahead of the us open. the two—time grand slam champion, who earlier in the year travelled to minnesota to pay tribute to george floyd, said this was more important than her playing tennis. and in powerful statement on twitter added, "watching the continued genocide of black people at the hands of the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach". there more details on that story on the bbc sport website. in other sports news. cycling's tour de france gets under way on saturday and one of the teams

looking to get their hands on that famous yellowjersey is the newly—renamed ineos grenadiers. we're joined now by their team principle, sir dave brailsford. thank you for speaking to us this morning. why the re—launch? well, we are part of the ineos group, the sports group and in chatting to the head of ineos, they are launching this new project called grenadiers, and it seemed a great opportunity for us to relaunch ourteam. we great opportunity for us to relaunch our team. we have been around for ten years, very successful but every now and again you need to reinvigorate, freshen up and this felt like a brilliant opportunity to relaunch our team and build the next chapter going into the next four or five years. two of your biggest names, geraint thomas and chris froome, neither of them is in your tour line—up. why not? there is a good reason behind it.

i'm sure many people will know that chris had a horrific accident. he has done amazingly well to come back to be able to compete at the highest end of professional cycling and he's ona end of professional cycling and he's on a journey, basically, and the tour de france is a bit early so we've given a bit longer to continue his recovery. we allocated his goals for the tour to spain which is eight weeks away, extra time to recover and admired advice for geraint, we have the pandemic, we had the break, and we felt we would focus him on trying to win the tour of italy, he's already won the tour de france, and he would have the tour of italy tojoin up and he would have the tour of italy to join up with and he would have the tour of italy tojoin up with his and he would have the tour of italy to join up with his yellowjersey, and that's what we decided to do. we've reallocated our resources and all of the big races are covered and have been well received. you mentioned chris

froome's dreadful accident. there's been some speculation in the press that your relationship with chris froome isn't what it was. has there been a falling out? absolutely not. i was with him yesterday actually. chris and i met up yesterday actually. chris and i met up yesterday and had a good look at its programme, everything we could do to continue supporting his training programme now for the tour of spain and our relationship is as good as ever. we have a racing relationship and a personal relationship and a personal relationship and a personal relationship and on both fronts we absolutely fine. out of your eight riders, only luke rowe is british. team sky, or ineos, was always known for developing british talent. are those days gone? not at all. actually, i would say is quite the opposite to be honest because we have had a cohort of british riders we've worked with for about ten years or so and developed at the highest level and they've given us great success. as they reach the twilight of their careers, it's time for us now to turn around

and identify some of the great young talent around various teams and in academy programmes. we've signed adam yates who is joining academy programmes. we've signed adam yates who isjoining us next year who has been fourth in the tour de france already and we will really invest now in developing the next generation of british cycling. rather than people saying we are turning our backs on british cycling, it's quite the opposite. we are focusing energy on the next generation. the tour itself starts in nice, obviously amid the pandemic. what happens if anyone tests positive in a team? well, there is some strict protocols around what actions are to be taken and how that's managed, track and trace, and quite a lot of measures in place around that, however, i think to be fair to the organisers and all the teams, we are really, really taking this seriously. we have all got our protocols in place, where we try to absolutely minimise the risk involved

and we know what to do and the behaviour of complying to do and the behaviour of complying to it. we all know it's behavioural, this challenges. it's about people complying. we have got very high compliance levels at the minute and everybody is motivated, so we are doing our absolute best and we will manage a situation as it arises. thank you very much forjoining us, best of luck for saturday. so the tour de france starts on saturday, looking forward to that but a bit of a surprise not having geraint thomas or chris froome involved in the line—up, but you heard the explanation there. back to you. really interesting, jane, thank you very much. i love people talking straight to the coach. we like to know how it's kitted out. no time for that right now. we do have time for that right now. we do have time for business.

there is a bit of light in business at the moment. entrepreneurs are fundamental to the british economy but would you start a business in the midst of a pandemic? yes, entrepreneurs are fundamental to the british economy, but would you start a business in the midst of a pandemic? well, figures out today from the centre for entrepreneurs shows some have taken the plunge. as you can imagine start—up activity was pretty subdued during lockdown. new business start ups were down nearly a third in april compared to april last year. but injune there was a big bounce back. almost a 50% increase on last year. all regions of the country say growth with the west midlands and london doing particularly well. so who are these entrepreneurs and are they wise to take a chance now? emma jones is founder of enterprise nation, which helps business start—ups. a very good morning to you. lovely to see you. there are the obvious businesses in the covid economy, people making disinfectant, protective equipment, but what are the other ideas which have come to the other ideas which have come to the fore over the past few

months? yes, good morning. it has been amazing to see, i love how you say the figures bounce back, bounce back start—ups, and we have seen a wealth of people start different businesses, so you heard earlier from sofia, who must come up with a new product for toddlers, now selling at all over the world on amazon. i've spoken this week to someone amazon. i've spoken this week to someone who was starting a new legal consultancy. to a man who was sadly made redundant but are starting a business selling christmas trees. so people literally across the land are spotting gaps in the market, seeing how customers are buying in different ways, and saying actually maybe i can turn it into a business. people have been sitting at home perhaps furloughed and had more time to think and an idea ruminating at the back of their head has been coming to the fore and they thought now was the time. that's absolutely what is happening at as he went into lockdown, nina, there was a stat saying one in four employees

have a side tussle, so they were working a dayjob building the business at night and weekends, and all of a sudden 9 million people went into furlough which meant they had a lot more time to say, actually, can i develop this business? there's definitely been part of that, but you refer to it in the introduction as the entrepreneurial nature of british people is come to the fore over the last couple of months, so in addition to people building up their side project, they've seen there not a bakery delivery in the area so there not a bakery delivery in the area so they thought they could do that, people have love doing graphic design of said maybe i can turn that passion into a way of making a profit, so it's partly that people have had more time, but it's also partly the people have had time to look and see where the gaps are and think, actually, can i start a business to fill that gap? interestingly, when people are working from home now, so for your a business online exclusively, so what does it say about the future of the

high street? it's fascinating, we are running an accelerated programme with amazon on at the moment where we are training 200,000 small businesses to do more online and i don't think it's exclusive, so we have heard particularly over the past couple of months this huge cry from small businesses to say we want content, education, training on how to do more online, we want to build websites, use of social media, we wa nt to websites, use of social media, we want to trade on trading marketplaces, but the physical retailers are doing this as well. they had a shock, they've had to shut up shop, and what retailers have realised is actually, i can probably do physical retail better ifi probably do physical retail better if i also do my online part of the business well. so it's bringing down the risk. not all of your risk is physical, your risks are not a risk because you're doing online and physical really well, so i don't think it's one or the other. the businesses we are absolutely seen do best are those that do online and

off—line really well. best are those that do online and off-line really well. emma, many thanks, really interesting, her advice to businesses which are trying to grow at the moment, is to grow online. we spoke pre—pandemic about the danger to the high street and that has been exacerbated. 0k, nina, thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, both of you. the weather in the uk is quite quiet today compared to what we have seen lately compared to what's happening in parts of the southern states as we have a mainly cloudy day ahead with rain preceded by showers because low pressures driving our weather. coming in from the atlantic, affecting our shores. as we go through today, it will remain fairly cloudy. we have got some showers and some rain but through the afternoon some of this rain in southern england could prove to be thundery. where we see greens and yellows in the charts, it tells you we are looking at heavy bursts.

temperatures today, a bit disappointing for the stage in august. 11—12 in lerwick. 13, aberdeen, and 19—20 towards the south—east. through this evening and overnight, not a lot changes and we will hang on to a fair bit of cloud and there will also be some showers around and some of those will still be heavy. these are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities. 7-13. in you can expect in towns and cities. 7—13. in rural areas, you can expect in towns and cities. 7—13. in ruralareas, of you can expect in towns and cities. 7—13. in rural areas, of course, you can expect in towns and cities. 7—13. in ruralareas, of course, it will be lower than this. through tomorrow, low pressure drifting further east, still various fronts around it, but the main thing i want to point out is the direction of the wind. it is going to have more of a northerly element to it which is a colder direction for us, particularly across scotland, northern ireland and the irish sea. still fairly cloudy tomorrow with some rain but you can see some brighter skies. still a chance of the odd rumble of thunder in this, as well, with 12 in the north, 19 in the south. it will be noticeably windy and with the gusty winds down the north sea coastline with large

waves. that's it from me for now. the headlines are coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast. 0ur headlines today. life without pa role 0ur headlines today. life without parole for the gunman who shot and killed 51 people at two mosques in new zealand. the sentence is the longest in the countries history. but today i hope is the last where we have any cause to hear or utter the name of the terrorist behind it. his deserves to be a lifetime of complete and utter silence. £13 per day — the government trials payments for those on low incomes who have to self—isolate in england. forecasters warn of an "unsurvivable" storm surge as hurricane laura approaches the gulf coast of the united states. the world of sport unites

in protest against sunday's shooting of jacob blake, a black man in wisconsin. as of last night all basketball games in the nba are cancelled, a tennis tournament is paused and several football matches postponed. it's thursday 27th august — our top story. a man who opened fire on two mosques in new zealand last year and killed 51 people has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. it's the first time the sentence has ever been handed down in the country. 29—year—old australian brenton tarrant pleaded guilty to charges of murder and terrorism. thejudge described his actions as "inhuman." 0ur correspondent shaimaa khalil has more. for three emotionally—charged days, brenton tarrant, the killer responsible for the massacre in two christchurch mosques, sat in the dock as dozens of survivors and bereaved families spoke to him directly with a mix of anger and

grief. i never would have ever imagined that the country in which my parents emigrated to for safety and for a successful future for their children would result in this. this didn't have to happen. while you are in prison, you'll come to reality that you are now in hell, and only the fire awaits you. today, the judge spent more than an hour reminding tarrant of each person he killed and injured and the agony the families and the muslim community now face. then he handed down the sentence. your offending constituted extreme violence. it was brutal and beyond callous. your actions were inhuman. brenton tarrant is now the first man in new zealand to be given a full life term with no

parole. in many of their impact statements, survivors and bereaved families have asked the judge for exactly that. today, they feeljustice has been served. translation: she is happy that justice has been served but he is a monster — evil, and deserves everything that comes to him. when i go back to turkey, i'm going to go to my son's grave and tell my son that he is jailed for a life sentence without parole. the prime minister, jacinda ardern, also welcomed the courts decision. also welcomed the court's decision. this has been a crime in new zealand, the likes of which has never occurred before. now we have seen a sentence the likes of which we have never seen before. but yes, it gave me relief to know that that person will never see the light of day.

the sentencing ends one of the highest profile cases in new zealand, but march 15th 2019 will go down as a dark day in the country's history. the trauma and the tragic loss will stay with the families long after. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. let's get more reaction to the sentence. tvnz reporter ryan boswell is outside the christchurch high court and joins us now. good morning to you. just listening to jacinda ardern's comments and the relief at the sentencing. the incident was a huge shock for people in new zealand, how are people reflecting at the end of the trial now? quite clearly, there is some relief after a year and a half of waiting for this sentence to

be handed down. the community can finally start moving forward. new zealand is only a country of 5 million people, we are very tight, very close and did not expect this type of crime to happen in our part of the world. kiwis are very relieved at the sentence and the victims and their families had relieved at the sentence and the victims and theirfamilies had been calling for life without parole and they have been submitting their victim impact statement throughout the week. those victim impact state m e nts the week. those victim impact statements have been brutal and honest, particularly with the killer, brenton tarrant. many people looking at him directly in the eye to tell them what they think. many describing him as the devil, a coward and the biggest loser. quite happy now, those victims and their families to finally move on from this horrific crime. ryan, thank you very much. people on low incomes who have to self—isolate and can't work from home will be able to claim

payments of £13 a day under a new government scheme. from the 1st of september, the scheme will be trialled in parts of the north—west of england before being rolled out to other areas with high levels of coronavirus. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is here to tell us more. helen, good morning. we were talking to the health secretary a short while ago about this, so a new scheme was pressured. this is £13 a day for people who tested positive for coronavirus and have to stay at home for ten days and for people who live in the household who have come into close contact. there are restrictions on who can claim this, you have two already be claiming working tax credit or universal credit. you also have to be working from home or have to be losing money. also you need to have a positive test from nhs test and

trace to say you need to isolate. it will be restricted regionally as the health secretary, matt hancock told us. health secretary, matt hancock told us. it is set at the level of statutory sick pay in order to make sure people don't lose out from doing the right thing. we are introducing it in 0ldham, pendle and blackburn with darwen in the first instance. these are the areas of the country where the rates are the highest and we have the highest level of intervention, the strongest, local lockdown, if you like. we will roll it out from next week and then monitor it very closely. he said this had been introduced after feedback and it would strengthen the nhs test and trace system. the questions have been asked about whether this is enough money, setting it up the same level as statutory sick pay, meaning is it enough that people will stay home and a cow to work. andy burnham, the mayor of manchester

says it doesn't go near far enough and he believes people should get full pay. helen, thank you very much. hurricane laura has made landfall on the southern coast of the united states battering parts of louisiana and texas with winds exceeding 150—miles—an—hour. officials are expecting a storm surge, which they describe as "un—survivable". more than half a million people have been told to leave their homes. simonjones reports. laura makes landfall, the wind is whipping up. it's a category four hurricane, expected to bring gusts of wind of 170 miles an hour, and a wall of water that could be two—storeys high. residents were in a rush to make their properties safe and then get out of harm's way. it's going to be real bad. we are leaving. we don't want to go, i don't want to go, but my children want to go. 0thers though have decided to stay put. all we can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. so sticking it out and just

going to see what happens. satellite images show what has already happened. laura has undergone a remarkable transformation. the national hurricane centre is predicting an extremely dangerous hurricane. this has been categorised repeatedly as an un—survivable storm surge, where it will be hitting. and that storm surge could continue inland for about 30 miles. this is the damage laura has already wreaked in the caribbean, claiming 2a lives. it's a warning for people in texas and louisiana. the last hurricane of comparable intensity in this area was back in the 1950s, and even back then we had great loss of life with a smaller population at that point. we hope that the warnings that have been put out and the improved forecasts and messaging that has gone forward has allowed people there to evacuate as necessary

and prepare their homes. their evacuation is being complicated by coronavirus, the challenge to try to keep people both safe from the storm and socially distanced. but with water levels already rising, authorities say any rescue operation will prove challenging, if not impossible. simon jones, bbc news. a 17—year—old has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two people were shot dead at protests in the us state of wisconsin. it comes after the shooting ofjacob blake, a black man who was shot seven times by a police officer in the town of kenosha. the incident has sparked several nights of protest and violence. david willis reports. don't shoot. into a vacuum created by daily protests and an initially overstretched police force has come armed vigilantes — one of whom was caught on camera before tuesday night's violence. reports suggest the individual interviewed, 17—year—old kyle rittenhouse later

put his weapon to use. this mobile phone footage appears to capture the moment someone fires on protesters and later zooms in on an individual lying motionless on the ground. another video appears to show a similar incident, again a protester is gunned down. two people were killed, a third seen here, was injured. someone who appeared to be armed was later seen walking with his hands up towards the police. a 17—year—old has since been charged with first—degree murder. all this in response to sunday's shooting of a black man, jacob blake, by a white police officer. officials say the officer, rustin chesky, fired seven times into mr blake's back after being called upon to investigate a domestic dispute. during the investigation following the initial incident, mr blake admitted that he had a knife in his possession. dci agents, the division of criminal investigation,

recovered a knife from the driver's side floorboard of mr blake's vehicle. a search of the vehicle located no additional weapons. president trump, in a series of tweets, vowed to clamp down on the violence in kenosha, whilst, in a video message, his democratic rival joe biden, appealed for calm. protesting brutality is a right and absolutely necessary but burning down communities is not protest, it's needless violence. in a statement, the local basketball team, the milwaukee bucks, announced a surprise boycott of their play—off game in response to the shooting of jacob blake. it is possible the entire season could now be injeopardy. meanwhile, hundreds of national guard officers have now been sent to kenosha, as the latest protests over police brutality and racial injustice threaten to spread across the country. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. two people have been injured

after a "significa nt" fire on a freight train carrying diesel in south wales. emergency crews were called near llanelli and nearby homes were evacuated after the fire was reported last night. british transport police said the two injured people were employees. the time is 8.13. since her husband was killed, the widow of pc andrew harper has been campaigning for a new law that would mean anyone convicted of killing an emergency service worker would be jailed for life. lissie harper, will meet the home secretary, priti patel to discuss the change in law. our correspondent helena wilkinson has been to meet her. after the court case, we were really disappointed with the verdict and the sentencing and just not getting thatjustice that andrew deserved really. so that's kind of where harper's law has come from. he was a fighter and he would love

to know that, you know, instead ofjust sitting in the corner, you know, feeling sorry for myself, even though i have all the reasons to, that i'm not doing that and i'm doing something to help others, mainly the people that he respected and worked alongside. this is the protection that we can offer them and maybe it might act as a deterrent for people considering committing crimes that they are not just going to get away with it. so that is kind of why harper's law is the way we are wanting it to be. not because their lives are more important but more because they need the protection law. you have a meeting with the home secretary priti patel. first of all, was that difficult to try and arrange? getting that confirmation of the meeting is really, really important. notjust to me, but the almost 500,000 people who had signed the petition. you've had a huge amount of support.

what impact, or how has that helped you? it has helped me immensely. even from the early days when andrew was first taken from us, i have had so many messages of support. with the campaign, it's just been on a whole other level, and that's really kept me going. it's given me the focus that i needed. if all goes to plan sitting down with the home secretary next month, just imagine you are in that room, what exactly are you going to be saying to her? i think really i want to explain to her my experience, what it is like to sit in a courtroom and witness the people responsible for taking my husband, showing no remorse and knowing that, you know, this has happened because of a choice they've made, because they made a decision to go out and commit a crime. i just want her to truly understand,

as i'm sure she already does on some level, just how wrong it is that they can do that and then end up with just such a meagre conviction and sentencing. itjust isn't right and that's what i will be saying to her, that we need to do this for all of the people who go out every day putting themselves at risk, just to protect us and to look after us. that goes for all of the emergency services. you wrote an open letter to the prime minister a while ago and he said that he would respond once legal proceedings had been completed and he has now, and has sent you a letter. just tell us what he said in that letter. i had the letter a while ago, so it was before sort of all of this. it was around all of my campaigns for a retrial and a review of the sentencing which now is being reviewed, so it was kind

of a general support about that. you just touched on it. the attorney general has referred the sentences of the three teenagers to the court of appeal. what was your reaction when you first heard about that? i was relieved, because we have been kind of waiting for a decision about that. there's nothing i can do about that now, it's totally out of my hands. and ijust hope that we reach a good decision about that because obviously the attorney general has seen what we all see, that the sentences are too lenient. 0n the other side of it, two of them, albert bowers and jesse cole, they are... they are seeking permission to appeal against their sentences. yeah. your thoughts on that? everyone knows what they've done.

whether they intended to go out on that night to do that or not, this is what has happened. they need to realise that they can'tjust, you know, not deal with any sort of punishment for that. i mean, i'm not sure why they think that that's acceptable. i'll do everything i can to make sure that that doesn't happen in the future. what are days like for you? very different, entirely different actually. andrew was my whole life. i've got this focus now and i think it sort of got to the point now where i've actually managed to get a little bit of composure and energy to really do something good instead ofjust coping, you know, just actually achieving something that might help people

in the future. carol will have the weather for us later but we have hurricane laura which will potentially cause devastation in america. although the weather here has been largely settled, i think. weather here has been largely settled, ithink. in weather here has been largely settled, i think. in a few minutes, we will be hoping to go to the british museum because a number of venues, some theatres are back with masks and restrictions in place. we have museums opening as well. our reporter is at the british museum which will be opening its doors for the first time in, what is it? 165 days. shall

i tell you what else iam 165 days. shall i tell you what else i am excited about as well? jimmy anderson, jimmy anderson is coming on the programme. there's been an outpouring of support for singer sarah harding after she announced she was being treated for breast cancer. the 38—year—old shot to fame in 2002 as a contestant on talent show popstars: the rivals. she made it to the final and was voted into the group which became girls aloud. the group split in 2013. in a series of tweets, sarah revealed she'd been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and it had spread to other parts of her body. posting a photo of herself in a hospital bed she went on to say she'd been receiving weekly chemotherapy but didn't want to shock anyone. herformer bandmates have been lending their support. cheryl simply tweeted a broken heart emoji. nicola roberts said she was blindsided by the news, adding sarah is "loved and

supported". and kimberley walsh said she was heartbroken and will support sarah "every step of the way." we can speak now to kris hallenga, the founder of breast cancer awareness charity coppafeel, and catherine priestley, a clinical nurse specialist at breast cancer now. good morning to you both. i hope i announced your surname good morning to you both. i hope i announced your surname correctly. we are having problems with your sound, we will talk to catherine while we try to adjust that. just hearing the news sarah harding has chosen to put this in the public domain, but kept it to herself untiljust this in the public domain, but kept it to herself until just this this in the public domain, but kept it to herself untiljust this week, is that typical behaviour in terms of the patients you deal with? saying it out loud is almost the

ha rd est saying it out loud is almost the hardest thing? absolutely. oh dear, we seem hardest thing? absolutely. oh dear, we seem to have gremlins in the system at the moment with the sale. we will try to talk to you both later in the programme. what we are talking about is the girls aloud singer sarah harding, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer and has put the information on social media and has got a lot of support from herformer and has got a lot of support from her former bandmates from decker—macro. that there is a new effect, echoing. it was science fiction like. many theatre and art venues remain shut since the lockdown began, but some cultural venues are preparing to welcome people back. 0ur reporter ben bland there for us this morning to see how they're

getting on. as you say, we are having to wear these mass, it is part of the measures to make sure people are safe when they are wondering around the museum. we may be able to hear some noise in the background, no sound gremlins, they are cleaning the floors, last—minute preparations before they open their doors to welcome people in. the great hall is ready to welcome visitors. there are strict queueing measures in place to make sure people line up and keep their distance while they are waiting to collect their tickets. there is a one—way system they have created. if the cameraman spins around here, they have prepared a very clever walk—through route to make sure there is a steady flow of people and everyone keeps that one metre plus, two metres if possible, between other visitors. this is quite a significant moment for the museum. they have been closed

for something like 165 days. it is the longest period the museum has been closed in peace time in its entire history. but history goes right back to 1759, when the museum first opened. it makes it older than the founding of the united states and one of the first famous visitors was a young mozart when he came to london with his parents. let me show you one of exhibits and some of the measures they have got in place. everything they have got in place, hand sanitiser when you arrive and then you have this one—way system, you can see the stickers on the floor to guide you. if you follow me, you go through here and you notice that this exhibit is one of the most popular, one of the most famous, the rosetta stone. they have carefully picked the areas that will be open people can enjoy. 0n the floor there are some markings to

make sure that people, if they are admiring the exhibits, are observing social distancing. this takes you through ancient egypt. beyond that, the ancient greek exhibit. for the museum it is important to get people through the doors. normally in august they get 17,000 people a day. that of course, has to be limited to make it safe for everyone, so it will be just make it safe for everyone, so it will bejust 2000 make it safe for everyone, so it will be just 2000 a day. if you are planning to come down, you have to make sure you book in advance, you have got to get your ticket online, don'tjust turn have got to get your ticket online, don't just turn up have got to get your ticket online, don'tjust turn up on the day. they are fully booked for the first five days. you need to plan your visit in advance. a lot of this is to make sure people are safe. sorry, my mask keeps slipping, but let me just show you one of the

other exhibits. the famous bust, i cannot help but wonder what he would make about the way we are living life today. it is lovely, you are like a full on museum tour guide. very impressive. just looking down the halls, it is such a magnificent place and there will be many happy people, i know the numbers are down but people will be happy to get back in. do you think you are getting everything you want out of the exhibits? you are not so close to them, does it still feel special? it does, because it has been done in a way that is very sensitive to the exhibit. for example, you have not got the plastic tubs of hand sanitiser attached to the plinths or anything like that. the markings are

very clear on the ground, but they are not kind of, to brush, they don't detract or distract you. one of the people who works here, i was asking when you have got people coming in, they will want to stand and admire. this is a centrepiece, the rosetta stone, people want to admire itand the rosetta stone, people want to admire it and take it in. but we have got to do what we are being asked to do in all walks of life, which is show a bit of consideration and thoughts for others. look at it and thoughts for others. look at it and admire it, but be conscious that people will be behind you wanting to admire it as well. they have opened up admire it as well. they have opened up enough rooms and carefully worked out the numbers they will have coming through, and it is timed slots. you don't want to feel like you are rushing, so you can take it all in. it is a fine balance. have a good morning, thank you. you are watching bbc

breakfast. and he's made it into the history books. james anderson will be with us shortly after becoming the first fast bowler to reach 600 test wickets. we ll be discussing that shortly and bringing you the latest news, but time now for the news where you are. now let's get the weather with carol. you have been busy, there has been so you have been busy, there has been so much whether going on, not all of the great, but lots to take in this morning, i think? that is right, we're starting with hurricane laura. hurricane laura has made landfall across south—west louisiana but the hurricane is affecting texas as well as louisiana. if i run the sequence, you can see how this hurricane came across the gulf of mexico, pushing in to some southern states of america. it is a huge her again, category four and at the top end of

that category. sustained wind speeds of 150 miles an hour. to be category 5, it would have to have another seven miles per hour on that. but the gusts around it are 185 miles an hour, but now it has made landfall it will weaken, but it will still pack a punch. we are looking at a storm surge getting inland a0 miles. areas that are normally dry, that is how far the water will get in and the high of that storm surge can be as much as 20 feet. imagine 36—foot adults standing on their shoulders with a bit more, that is the level we are talking about. —— three, 6—foot adults. we have a typhoon which made landfall earlier today in north korea, also packing a punch and bringing in torrential rain, flooding and damaging winds. it is the rice harvest time in north korea at the moment. back at base, cloudy

day had it with rain at times as low pressure takes charge of our weather with its attendant weather fronts coming in from the atlantic, bringing a lot of cloud, showers and rain. that is how we're starting the day, some of the rain is already heavy coming across the south—west. could hear the odd rumble of thunder from this and a lot of scattered showers. whether you see greens and yellows, it is telling you to expect heavy bursts. temperatures are poor for the time of year, 13 to about 19 or 20 degrees. through this evening and overnight, not a huge amount of change, perhaps in the distribution of where we are seeing showers. for some it will be cloudy and others will be pretty wet as well. eight to about 13 as the overnight lows in towns and cities. lower than this in rural areas. this low pressure is drifting towards the east, taking the rain with it but the salient thing about tomorrow at the weekend is the direction of the win,

more of a northerly component. 0n is the direction of the win, more of a northerly component. on friday you will notice the wind be quite breezy and then exposure it will be windy. there will be rain and some will see some sunshine with highs of 19 or 20 and it stays unsettled on saturday. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. he's widely thought of as one of the best players ever to play the game of cricket and by becoming the first fast bowler to reach 600 test wickets this week. james anderson has firmly cemented his place in the game's history books. known to most fans as "jimmy", the 38—year—old has come a long way since his days as a young lad, playing for his hometown club burnley.

jimmyjoins us now from manchester. good morning. how

are you feeling?” still don't think it has quite sunk in, to be honest. it has been a strange few days. i went to sleep the night before the last day of the game thinking we would not play because the weather was that bad. but then to be able to get the chance to do it and to share that moment with my team—mates and see the look on their faces when i did it was really special. can i ask, when you were bowling what was the priority? 0bviously when you were bowling what was the priority? obviously it was to win, but were you thinking, this one could be 600? 0r but were you thinking, this one could be 600? or i am just going to get that man out? what was the overwhelming thought as you are literally doing your runner—up?” was just trying to get him out, to be honest. 0bviously because there was some time off because of the rain there was some talk about it in the dressing room and i did feel a little bit more expectation in the

back of my mind, but ultimately i was trying to get the guy out, we we re was trying to get the guy out, we were still trying to win the game at that point, so that was my focus to be honest. congratulations, it is charlie here. what an extraordinary thing, the first fast bowler to reach 600 test wickets. forgive me my cricket ignorance, but i am assuming the stresses and strains on the body of the fast bowler are in a whole different place from a spin bowler or whatever, and yet you have managed to survive in your career. has it been hard? how are you shaping up right now? to be honest i have been really lucky that i have got the body that i have. i am slight naturally, which has helped, not too much strain going through my body. the bigger, bulkier guys struggle a little bit with the forces that go through your body. for me i do work hard in the gym and i work hard on my action to keep

it as economical as possible, so there is not too much stress going through my is not too much stress going through d. is not too much stress going through my body. i still feel really fit, i still feel good. i still feel like i could carry on for however many yea rs could carry on for however many years to come. ijust keep doing the ha rd years to come. ijust keep doing the hard work in the gym and things like that and hopefully, fingers crossed, ifi that and hopefully, fingers crossed, if i stay injury free i can play for a little bit longer. you have just after the next question, which is the one a lot of cricket fans want to know. the ashes next year, are you going to be there? it is hard to predict, but i will be doing everything i can to be on that plane to australia. i am still hoping to ta ke to australia. i am still hoping to take wickets, i still love playing the game, so i will keep trying to improve to stay fit and if i can do that i can keep taking wickets throughout the coming months and hopefully i will be on that plane to australia. james, i was

reading a piece by greg james, your mate, a cricket nerd, and i don't know if you have seen it, but he says he does not like a fast, he is not one of those people who pretend to hate a fast and loves it, he says you should be a proper, full—blown artistic monster, but you just are not. how are you finding the attention at the moment?” not. how are you finding the attention at the moment? i don't know, really. 0bviously attention at the moment? i don't know, really. obviously it comes with the territory really. if you have some success in any walk of life you get some attention. i guess i have got used to it over the past few years. but having a really good family and friends around me has really helped keep my feet on the ground. they do not let me get ahead of myself, if that was the case. how do they ring you in? being treated like a normal person really, taking the mickey out of

me, not allowing me to get carried away, that is the way i keep my feet on the ground. do you wear cricket whites all the time? i notice you are wearing them at 25 to nine on thursday morning. do you wear them all the time? or is it just do you wear them all the time? or is itjust a thing? no, it is u nfortu nate i itjust a thing? no, it is unfortunate i chose a white hoodie this morning. good to establish these things. when you are steaming in and you are bowling do you know instinctively as the ball leaves your hand, as you are hurtling down the crease, do you instinctively know that you have got a zen on your hands? maybe that is not a good, technical cricket term, but do you know instinctively? yes, i think bowling is a field thing. you can feel the ball on your fingers and it is really important to be able to know in your head if it is a good

ball or not. yes, pretty much you do know when it comes out of your hand if it is going to be a good one or not. james, we have got a little montage and this is something especially for you and charlie because you share an interest in taking good care of your hair. we arejust going to taking good care of your hair. we are just going to show this. i will go through with it. we have got blonde highlights. then you decided you wanted it all gone, then back to the blonde highlights. all blonde, platinum there. charlie, that is the closest to yours. are you proud? how much care do you take over your hair, james? i mean, in the past i have gone through some pretty dubious hairstyles i would have said. idid dubious hairstyles i would have said. i did see a montage the other day on tv that made me wonder what i was doing back then. but i am just

glad that at 308! have got a decent head of hair still and i will cling on to that as long as possible. quite right. it has been an amazing career. not over yet, which you very clearly a leader to this morning. lovely to see you. thank you very much. very chilled, and incredibly successful sports star. and an amazing achievement, brilliant. let's talk to jane. it is great when we can celebrate brilliant things in sport. 0bviously talking to james anderson. but also one sport gives back in terms of making it clear when it stands on an issue. a lot of athletes feel they can no longer separate politics from sport. as we have seen with cricket, eve ryo ne as we have seen with cricket, everyone taking any further black lives matter movement.

we start with huge developments from all over the united states that have prompted former president barak 0bama to get involved. 0vernight, all nba matches were cancelled, a tennis event postponed and mls football games called off. it's all in protest at the shooting ofjacob blake, a black man in wisconsin on sunday. in basketball it all started after the milwaukee bucks, who are from wisconsin, decided to boycott their game against the orlando magic. bucks player george hill said they were "tired of the killings and the injustice". later, the la lakers are meeting to decide if they'll boycott matches while lebronjames says he doesn't want to play again this season. meanwhile, in the women's league, players took to the court in t—shirts with seven bullet holes in the back, representing the seven shots police fired into jacob blake. the atlanta dream and washington mystics players then took a knee in protest. former president barack 0bama later praised the players for taking a stand. not just basketball, five out of the six matches in the mls were also cancelled as football took a stance. and in tennis, naomi 0saka,

the highest paid female athlete in the world, pulled out of her semi final match at a tournament ahead of the us open. the two—time grand slam champion, who earlier in the year travelled to minnesota to pay tribute to george floyd, tweeted, "watching the continued genocide of black people at the hands of the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach." more details on that story on the bbc sport website, plus the story of celtic going out of the champions league last night. now back to you. now back to you. let's go back to the news that girls aloud singer, sarah harding, has said she's being treated for breast cancer which has spread to other parts of her body. we can speak now to kris hallenga, the founder of breast cancer awareness charity coppafeel, and catherine priestley, a clinical nurse specialist at breast cancer now.

good morning. we have established contact, which is a good thing. i know your own situation, you were very young yourself when you are diagnosed, it is important what sarah harding is doing in speaking about it so openly. from my own experience i was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer 11 years ago, when i was 23. i think it is awful news for sarah and all my thoughts are going to her and i think it is so brave that she has come out and told the world. since telling the world she has no doubt been flooded with messages and support and i am sure it is very overwhelming, but i am so grateful to her because more information needs to be shared about secondary breast cancer. it is the cancer that kills. 0nce breast cancer. it is the cancer that kills. once the cancer has spread beyond the breast it becomes incurable and i think there is a lot

of misconception and confusion about what secondary breast cancer is. it is also sometimes referred to as stage iv cancer, incurable, advanced, metastatic breast cancer. they are all different terms, but they all mean the same thing. ultimately she will be having treatment for life and i know what thatis treatment for life and i know what that is like. i have had it for 11 yea rs. that is like. i have had it for 11 years. when stories like this come out i am desperate for my story to then be shared because i want to give people hope that it is possible to live with this disease for a long time. iam to live with this disease for a long time. i am very lucky that treatment has worked for me for so long and i am able to sustain a happy and good live with the disease. if you are watching, sarah, take note from my story that this is not the end, this could be very much the beginning and there is hope. we havejust got to hope that there is more treatment

coming out for people like us. point well made. catherine priestley, you are a clinical nurse, and one of the points i was making earlier is it is almost the saying out loud, that is the first step, let alone what sarah harding has done of putting this on social media. but it is so important, you will know that from the people you work with. saying it out loud makes it real and then you start telling other people and monitoring their other people and monitoring their other reactions as well and the reality checks in. it is not unusual for us to talk to people on our national helpline to say it does not feel real, it feels like a dream. yet so many people will share it with so many people and get it out there, but equally there are people who need to keep it to themselves sometimes, get their emotions in check before they start to tell others. so many people do end up

managing other people's emotions and worries and fears when they need to concentrate on themselves. it can be quite tricky but it is a very personal decision as to how you manage that and for as many diagnosis of breast cancer there are, there are as many reactions and how you manage that. that is an important point. there are no rights and wrongs about the way you handle it yourself, but what we do know is that early diagnosis is crucial. there are concerns at the moment that because of coronavirus less people will be going to their gps are going through that process and thatis are going through that process and that is worrying in itself. it is frightening. for us, our charity, ourjob has not changed, we are still trying to educate people about cancer and we desperately need people to heed the message and go and speak to their gp. they might not see you straightaway, but they will speak to you on the phone. tell them about any changes you

have noticed. it is shocking and scary that referral rates are down and people are not going to see their gp. before coronavirus one of the barriers to getting diagnosed within the 18-35 barriers to getting diagnosed within the 18—35 age group was already struggling to get an appointment or scared to waste the doctor's time. imagine what that feeling is like now. people think i do not have coronavirus symptoms, i am not going to the gp, i will not waste their time on something that is cancer. that is such a frightening thought. if you think you have noticed something and have been delayed because of coronavirus, stop thinking that. the time is now, go to yourgp thinking that. the time is now, go to your gp now, do not delay. just explain, when someone comes to see you, what state are they at and what can they expect in terms of treatment and understanding?” can they expect in terms of

treatment and understanding? i work at breast cancer now and we hear from all sorts of people, we are a charity. from the point of view of when we speak to people they can be at any stage of the disease or they can be worrying they have got a symptom. they have found something slightly different in their breasts and that is what we advocate, as chris is saying, we want to make sure that people go to their gp, they contact their gp, whether it is inside or outside the pandemic. you know your breasts, you touch, look, check, that is the easiest way to be breast aware, and if there is anything different, not just breast aware, and if there is anything different, notjust a lamp, something new and persistent is always worth checking. it can be dealt with and you can be referred into a system and you can be checked out and assessed in the breast clinic. they are still working just like the gp. there has been a feeling that there is not as much work going on and that has led people to be hesitant about going to

theirgps and people to be hesitant about going to their gps and breast clinics. we would advocate every woman of every age to be breast aware and to report changes. we have also heard from people who are going through treatment and they had their own concerns during the coronavirus pandemic about the impact of any changes to that as well. thank you so changes to that as well. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. and it is good to hear your stories and how positive you are. looking at sarah harding's statement. it says, hello, everyone, hope you are keeping safe and well during these uncertain times. i have not posted for so long, thank you to eve ryo ne not posted for so long, thank you to everyone who has reached out to check on me, it really does mean a lot. such a lovely sentiment. she has now asked for privacy and says she will not be tweeting any more. and it is so not be tweeting any more. and it is so important when you hear from people like kris and

catherine, and she says share it, go to your gp, or even talk to family friends and loved one so they can help you. today marks a year since the death of 19—year—old harry dunn, who was killed after his motorbike was involved in a crash near a military base in northamptonshire. since then, harry 5 family has been everywhere from downing street to the white house, campaigning tirelessly to bring the driver to justice. brea kfast‘s graham satchell has been to meet them. portland on the south coast of england. it's always been a special place for harry dunn, where he came on family holidays every year. i said to the guys when it's my time to go, you know, for my ashes to be scattered here. and harry said the same. it was like, you know, "same for me, dad, this is where i want to be as well." and then, unfortunately, you know,

a month later we lost him. definitely, it definitely is my special place, it's all our special places. harry's ashes were scattered here a few weeks ago. it's become a place for the whole family, parents, step parents, siblings, team harry, to remember and reflect. the pain that you're left with every moment of every day, 24/7, is always there so you can never not realise that he's gone. we definitely know that he's gone. harry dunn was riding his motorbike next to raf croughton in northamptonshire when he was allegedly hit head—on and killed. the driver of the car, anne sacoolas, the wife of an american intelligence officer, claimed diplomatic immunity and left the country. harry's family has been campaigning ever since to get her back to face the british justice system. if she had stayed none of this would have even come out, nobody would have known who she was,

nobody would have known her name, the children's names, the husband's name, whatjob role he had. they'd have carried on being able tojust integrate into the community because we were more than willing to do everything we possibly could to ensure that she at least had a suspended sentence so that she could carry on being a mum. all we wanted was for her to go through the ukjustice system. you didn't want to see her in prison? no. not at all. want do we want? justice! the family's campaign has seen some remarkable successes. diplomatic immunity rules have changed. american personnel on bases in the uk will now get driver training. in december, anne sacoolas was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and an extradition request was made. harry's parents and stepparents even went to the white house. president trump said anne sacoolas was there to meet them and there was the suggestion

the family might be given money. when we were very strong and said no, that was probably why they let us out the back door of the white house and not out on to the south lawn where all the press were setup. he didn't get what he had planned to do. at their home in northamptonshire, harry's spare biking gear is where he left it the day he died. gloves, helmet, jacket. it's a source of comfort for charlotte, but she says she'll only be able to grieve properly for her son when anne sacoolas has accounted for what happened last year. you know, it was time a year ago almost, but it's absolutely time now. we don't want to go into year two of fighting. we want to go into year two to try to start to rebuild our lives, to try to start possibly celebrating who harry was. but it doesn't feel

like we are living. we are just existing at the moment. and that's why we need the justice, because without it, we will always feel like we are just existing. you're not going to give up? never. back on portland, the family stand as one. we, as a family, loved our son so much. he was a good, honest lad. he deserves the truth to be known of what happened that night, and why she was allowed to leave. we are normal people. i never follow politics, but i would say we know the difference between right and wrong and so did harry. so that's why we can't stop. it's for harry. a year after harry dunn died, his family are united in grief and determined to carry

on the fight for justice. graham satchell, bbc news. if you named your child 0liver or 0livia in the past year you're in good company as they topped the list of most popular baby names in 2019. there were also some more unusual choices — kylo, inspired by the star wars character also made the list. we asked parents in manchester about what they think of some of the more quirky names on the list. i have a new babyjust born three months ago and i gave hayden, so i think hayden is a traditional name. i'm a bit old—fashioned, myself. i believe we need to stick to traditional names. her name is andrea. andrea? and how did you come to the name andrea? because i like the name. it's the same as

a singer i like. i'd probably go something traditional, to be honest. traditional but unique at the same time, you know, i don't want my child to have the same name as every other child in the class. but, at the same time, slightly different. i really like unique names. do you? yeah. what's your favourite unique name then? my daughter's name, anaya. i got my daughter, yeah, she's called mary, which is my mum's name. traditional name. and then we added carey, mary carey. and then i got my daughter. she's called... megan. kelly. and then we added kelly. megan kelly. that is rather charming. so how do you go about picking the most unique name for your little one? let's speak now to mum vlogger sj strum. how are you? very well, thank you. i

absolutely how are you? very well, thank you. i a bsolutely love how are you? very well, thank you. i absolutely love reading the popularity list. we have had these new names pop up, but some names just remain popular pretty much permanently. i know, it is unbelievable. we have a matching pairas unbelievable. we have a matching pair as well, 0liver unbelievable. we have a matching pair as well, oliver and olivia, coming up to seven years for 0liver. it is such a classic name, we know it from literary heritage and olivia is from shakespeare. it means olive branch, peace, so it remains at the top. but there is lots of movement lower down with unique names, names that the under 25—year—old parents are looking for, and stands out. we have got to ask you, and apologies to your children because the names you gave yours. what side did you veer you gave yours. what side did you veer on? was it traditional or quirky or were you determined to make them different to be more individual? i argued with

my husband throughout the whole pregnancy whether he wanted a traditional name andi whether he wanted a traditional name and i wanted something unique. we have gone with freddie, a nickname and then thin, which was quite a modern new name. my daughter is called melina. then i went quirky in the middle and i came to evelyn blossom. parents always are in these two ca m ps blossom. parents always are in these two camps with somebody fighting for traditional and somebody always out there. i tried to get as many ideas asi there. i tried to get as many ideas as i could. then find somewhere in the middle. and alexa is tumbling down the chart. it is. names to follow popular culture so much and they are quite reactive. fast fashion names come in. alexa was so popular. it gets taken over and it

goes straight out of fashion. internet memes, like karen, will not be so popular. 0n the other hand, you get other names like harper, and that goes straight up the charts and it works both ways. sj stands for? sarah jane. and i it works both ways. sj stands for? sarahjane. and i have a nickname as well. good to speak to you. thank you so much. your name is becoming more popular, number nine in the list, up from number nine in the list, up from number ten. i wonder why that is? that's all from us this morning. we'll be back from six tomorrow.
