good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. our headlines this morning. it's a—level results day, and the number of top grades is expected to rise when students in england, wales and northern ireland get their results. i'm confident in myself and i think future employers will be that this year — given how exceptional it was — it's the best result and the best approach we could have had. good morning, it is results day for those gaining professional qualifications. they have been training in... but have they done it during a pandemic and how these

courses more popular than ever? a lawsuit is filed by a woman in new york, accusing prince andrew of historical sexual abuse. firefighters from across europe head to greece, to help battle wildfires on evia — the country's second largest island. we have more olympians in the studio today. keely hodgkinson and the gadirova twins will be here, to tell us about their medal—winning exploits in tokyo. good morning. today is going to be drier but warmer and sunnier than it was yesterday. still some showers in the forecast, the heaviest of which will be across the north and east of scotland. more details in 25 minutes. it's tuesday the 10th of august. our top story. hundreds of thousands of students will receive their a levels results today — and high grades are expected across england, wales and northern ireland. for a second year results have been based mainly on teacher assessments, after exams were cancelled because of the pandemic. vocational btec results are also out today, and higher

and national grades in scotland will be confirmed. our education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. in loughborough, shivani and finn say dealing with the disruption, constant assessments and the fear that their grades are not seen as valid has been tough enough. that does add more stress for me than i think an exam would because with an exam, it's sort of like you take it in one sitting, and that's it. and you can't go back to it and the rest of it is out of your control. there's a lot of talk about the issue of grade inflation, and i appreciate that that's a real concern. but ultimately, in the circumstances that, you know, have prevailed, the alternative wouldn't have been fair and it wouldn't have been feasible. and so i'm confident in myself and i think future employers will be that this year, given how exceptional it was, it's the best result and the best approach we could have had. with exams cancelled, ensuring fairness has been a challenge. students have been assessed only

on what they have been taught. the pandemic has also put pressure on teachers who need to provide evidence for every grade that has been awarded. the teachers themselves had to do that marking and then feed that marking into the grading meetings and the grading meetings were a significant unit of work in themselves, hours of meetings discussing grades, grade boundaries and students and their individual circumstances and defending those grades as we determine them and ensure that we can evidence them. so a huge amount of work. the government says one in five schools have had a sample of their grades checked by exam boards. it's expected that those receiving top grades will be significantly higher than in previous years. and with record numbers applying to go to university, it could put pressure on places. what we need to do this year is just make sure that we focus on what's happened now and that we give absolute confidence to young people that their efforts have been worthwhile and the exam results

they get today are a fair reflection of their ability, and they can go with pride to the next step in their education or into the employment market. a—levels students in wales and northern ireland will also get their grades today, and in scotland, higher and national results will be confirmed. students may not have sat traditional exams, but the pandemic has been a test on many levels. elaine dunkley, bbc news in loughborough. we'll be catching up with students and teachers throughout the morning, and we'll also be speaking to education secretary gavin williamson and the head of the university application service ucas. we will be talking about what happens next for those students who get the grades they want and may be those who get even better. and good luck to all of them. _ a woman from the us has filed a civil lawsuit in new york, accusing prince andrew of sexual abuse. in a statement, virginia roberts giuffre claims she was trafficked to the prince by the convicted paedophilejeffrey epstein when she was 17. the duke of york has consistently denied the allegations.

nada tawfik reports. the civil suit alleges that convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein forced virginia roberts giuffre to have sex with prince andrew when she was just 17, in london, new york and the us virgin islands. and she claims that prince andrew knew he was a sex trafficking victim, that she was underage, and she never consented to the alleged sexual acts. now, prince andrew has previously emphatically denied these allegations and in fact the allegations themselves are not what's new here. what's new is her ability to file this lawsuit. and a landmark new york state law called the child victims act, there is a window of opportunity for alleged victims to file claims of sexual abuse, no matter how long ago they occurred. but that window expires in just a few days. so prince andrew's representatives

were contacted by virginia roberts giuffre's legal team who said that they would file this suit if they did not come to a negotiated settlement. they say that they didn't hear anything back from prince andrew's team, and that's why they were moving forward with this lawsuit. in a statement, she said that she took a look of time to think over her decision, she did not come to it lightly, and that she did understand that it might open her up to further attacks. again, though, prince andrew has emphatically denied the allegations. firefighters from across europe are still trying to bring wildfires in greece under control, following the country's most severe heatwave in 30 years. meanwhile in northern california blazes have been raging since last month, and officials say less than a quarter of the fires have been contained. simonjones reports. a natural fury without precedent.

that's how the greek prime minister has described the wildfires that have caused so much devastation. the battle to contain them continues on the island of evia. more than 500 blazes have broken out across the country in recent days. firefighters have been joined by local residents trying to make the area safe. climate change is real and the heat, the heat wave affected this. we didn't see any rain to stop this fire. i used to run into this forest. i used to cycle. we used to go and collect fruits. now everything is gone. where the fires have been contained, it's now a case of counting the cost to the environment and to property. homes ruined, residents and holidaymakers forced to flee. in athens, protests. these demonstrators say the government hadn't done enough to prepare for such a disaster.

the prime minister has promised more money to tackle the fires and their aftermath. translation: it's obvious | that the climate crisis is now knocking on the door of the entire planet, with fires that last weeks. this is a reason, but it's not an excuse nor an alibi. and i will say it clearly. we may have done whatever is humanly possible, but in many cases that did not appear to be enough in the unequal battle with nature. catastrophic scenes in the us too. the dixie fire is the second largest wildfire in northern california has ever seen. the warning is it could take weeks to contain. 5,000 firefighters have been drafted in. they say they're in uncharted territory. as in greece, it's clear, there will be many more difficult days ahead. simon jones, bbc news. david cameron made around £7 million from greensill capital before

the controversial finance company collapsed earlier this year. that's according to documents obtained by bbc panorama. the former prime minister had lobbied the government on behalf of the company and has repeatedly refused to tell mps what he was paid by greensill. a spokesman for mr cameron said his remuneration was a private matter. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. i know mps are away at the moment but their parliamentary whatsapp groups must have been buzzing with this overnight. we groups must have been buzzing with this overnight-— this overnight. we have had a statement — this overnight. we have had a statement from _ this overnight. we have had a statement from labour's - this overnight. we have had a i statement from labour's deputy leader_ statement from labour's deputy leader who has gone on the record saying _ leader who has gone on the record saying it _ leader who has gone on the record saying it is — leader who has gone on the record saying it is utterly ludicrous, and angela _ saying it is utterly ludicrous, and angela rayner's words, that david cameron_ angela rayner's words, that david cameron was paid such a big sum to work_ cameron was paid such a big sum to work for— cameron was paid such a big sum to work for a _ cameron was paid such a big sum to work for a company that ultimately failed _ work for a company that ultimately failed bui— work for a company that ultimately failed. but because his lobbying was not against the rules, they say that labour_ not against the rules, they say that labour would change the rules. there are two— labour would change the rules. there are two big _ labour would change the rules. there are two big bits of information we are two big bits of information we are still_ are two big bits of information we are still waiting for in this saga. we do _ are still waiting for in this saga.

was telling me to do things, yeah, but it doesn't... it's difficult for him to actually explain what happens, really. they're concerned that he's developing some form of dementia. it does mean that i understand that we would probably have to sell our house to pay for my husband's care. thanks for coming with me today. the couple are taking part in trials of a new system that will be able to tell not only whether dennis has some form of dementia, but how quickly it's likely to develop. have you got any questions about it at all? _ no, i think it's fantastic. if you had a diagnosis that gave you some indication of the progression, would that be of help? well, then we could, you know, plan financially as well as, as a couple to be able to perhaps have a few holidays before things got bad that i couldn't take dennis on holiday.

dennis's brain scan will be analysed by an artificial intelligence computer programme. it compares his scan with those of thousands of other dementia patients. in preclinical tests, it's been able to diagnose dementia years before symptoms develop. and even when there's no obvious sign of damage on the brain scan. it's also been shown to predict whether the condition will remain stable for several years, progress slowly or require immediate treatment. it's fantastic, really, - because these set of diseases are really devastating for many people. - if you have a diagnosis of dementia, lthat's a big thing to take on board. i so, you know, when i'ml delivering this diagnosis, anything which i can do to be more confident about that, _ to give people more information, | to help them and plan their lives| is a great thing to be able to do. and the new technique can give results much faster. currently, it can take several scans and many other tests to find out whether someone has dementia.

the new artificial intelligence system can potentially pick it up with just one scan, and it can pick it up much earlier in the progression of the disease. the researcher who led the development of the system believes that early and accurate diagnosis of dementia will make treatments much more effective. if we intervene early, the treatments can kick in early and slow down the progression and at the same time avoid more damage happening to the brain. and it's likely that then symptoms might occur much later in life or there may actually never occur. the system is currently being tested to see if it works just as well in a clinical setting as it has in the lab. ready, steady, go. at this stage, only dennis's doctor will be given the result to help him decide the best course of treatment. but if the artificial intelligence

system is found to be reliable, it'll make a big difference to dennis and millions like him. pallab ghosh, bbc news, cambridge. so many lives potentially affected by that technology. as well as a—level results, thousands of students across the uk will be receive the results of their btec qualifications today. if you haven't slept all night because of your results or your kids results, you will know them soon and all of her fingers are crossed for you. she got an a* in skateboarding yesterday, nina here again. nina's at bolton college this morning finding out how vocational courses have fared during the pandemic, and looking at some big changes coming in the next few years. she hasn't got a helmet on today. very generous of you, i think it was a little bit more of a letter d—, but ten out of ten for effort! did your class and look anything like

there is low pressure in the atlantic with attendant fronts coming our way later tonight. later we have the fog, that will lift, showers drift eastwards but they will not be many as we can see here. showers come in across the south—east, they will fade. further showers will develop across north—east scotland, and here they could be heavy and thundery. 0ne north—east scotland, and here they could be heavy and thundery. one or two showers in northern ireland, but fairly dry. across the east coast of england, especially the north—east, we can see showers, but a lot of dry weather across england and wales with just the odd shower. temperatures today getting up to 22, 23, possibly 2a degrees. through this evening and overnight we will have the showers across the north—east for a time, then the wind will pick up out towards the west. the cloud will thicken, we will see light rain and drizzle before the end of the night. temperatures range from about 11 to 1a degrees to start

the day tomorrow morning. tomorrow, eastern areas and start of bright, some patchy mist and fog possible first thing, but in the west it will be fairly cloudy with this rain turning what persistent as it moves steadily towards the east. behind it, some late brightness for northern ireland and western scotland. if the cloud remains broken for long enough we could hit 25 degrees somewhere in the south—east, and that will be the first time for a couple of weeks sincejuly. we have not had a 25 in august so far. thursday, this is where the front will move south during the night. not much more on it than a band of cloud. maybe the odd spot of drizzle but that will break up through the day. still warm in the south—east, 25 degrees. north of that, we are looking at some sunshine but it will be fairly windy across the west of scotland, particularly so the western isles, and we will have the rain here at streaming in. temperatures on

thursday range from 15 in lerwick, 21 in hull, 25 in norwich, which is more or less bangle for this time of year, 20 to 2a is the normal range north to south. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning... it was a brilliant 0lympics for team gb and the celebrations aren't over yet — we'll be joined by the 800 metre medallist keely hodgkinson before eight, and an hour later by identical twin gymnastsjennifer and jessica gadirova. the former liverpool and england footballerjamie carragher will be here to talk about a campaign to make defibrillators mandatory in all uk schools and sports clubs. and it's time for another mystery celebrity to dust off their dancing shoes as we reveal the next strictly contestant competing for this year's glitterball trophy.

a big mystery. all will be revealed. 6:32am at the moment. two weeks ago, the trust which runs some of liverpool's biggest hospitals went into "surge" mode because of the number of covid patients being admitted. since then, some operating theatres have closed as staff have moved to other wards, while record numbers of people have been coming into a&e with other conditions. 0ur health correspondent gill dummigan has this report from the royal liverpool hospital. 0n the 11th floor, there's a small room where at some point everyone working in close contact with covid patients ends up. today it's the trust's junior doctors. so today we're having our induction to start our newjob in anaesthetics. and right now we're getting fit—tested for ppe masks. fit testing makes sure medical staff have a mask which is completely airtight, and so safe against the virus.

..two, one...andjust start stepping for me. junior doctors move around the hospital's different departments, and today's a big changeover day. where were you before this? i've just come from four months in a&e, and prior to that it was on the wards. yeah, doing a bit of everything. but while matt's just starting with the surgical department, some of his more experienced colleagues have temporarily gone. two weeks ago, they were moved to critical care to help look after covid patients — and so around a fifth of the operating theatres are unable to be staffed. it is frustrating at times because you feel like you just get going again, you get the team back together and then the surge happens. but you have to support, as needs be. like all hospitals, the pandemic�*s seen the royal liverpool's waiting lists for non—urgent surgery rise sharply — although most are still going ahead, the lack of staff is hampering the trust's ability to bring the numbers back down again. it's undoubtedly having an impact

on the treatment of some of those less—urgent conditions. and, of course, there are a lot of patients who've been waiting for a long time for their treatment that may now be further delayed. the past fortnight�*s seen a whole ward shift to accommodate increasing patient numbers. two weeks ago, this was not a covid ward, was it? no. we were gastroenterology, and now we're covid. shanice worked on 5y the last time it was a covid ward in the winter. we're kind of used to it now. we're still worried because it's covid and we don't want to be taking it home to our families, we don't want to be catching it, but we know what to expect. we know how to treat our patients. and with record numbers coming into a&e, the hospital's exceptionally full. critical care's where the sickest patients are treated. normally, the pressure on beds here means patients who improve are moved to general wards. but at the moment that's proving difficult.

we have had some issues with getting patients out of hospital care because the hospital is so busy. ——we have had some issues with getting patients out of critical care because the hospital is so busy. so we do have patients that can step down to the wards, but there's been issues and trying to get patients out. all this is putting yet more pressure on staff who've now spent a year and a half battling the pandemic. staff are tired, they're exhausted. many staff have been redeployed to other areas from the area that they usually work in. and i suppose, to some extent, it feels to some staff as though there's no light at the end of the tunnel. 18 months ago, we were saying things like "if only we had a vaccine", "things will be better when we can test patients, when we can test our staff to keep our staff and our family safe". and, you know, we've got all of those things now yet we're still in a position where we're seeing covid admissions into hospital and i think that's worrying. back on the 11th floor, the trust's newest staff are also wondering about the future. i was a junior doctor when covid first became a global issue.

and it's been every year of my career, actually. did you still think that you'd be dealing with it now? honestly, i hoped not but i kind of expected yes. patient numbers should start falling here soon — the city's infection rates have been dropping for some time. the question here — and in all the region's hospitals — is what happens in september? gill dummigan, bbc news. that is what is going one hospital. we can discuss the continuing pressure on nhs services and front line staff with one of our regular gps, drwilliam bird, who joins us here in the studio. hello, how lovely to see you in person. hello, how lovely to see you in erson. ., y ., hello, how lovely to see you in erson. ., , ., , ., hello, how lovely to see you in person-_ one i hello, how lovely to see you in | person-_ one day hello, how lovely to see you in i person._ one day we person. lovely to be a. one day we will stop saying _ person. lovely to be a. one day we will stop saying that _ person. lovely to be a. one day we will stop saying that but _ person. lovely to be a. one day we will stop saying that but it - person. lovely to be a. one day we will stop saying that but it still i will stop saying that but it still seems unusual. really good to see. that what is going on in one of these hospital trusts. what about in gp services, what i the pressure is like for you? it gp services, what i the pressure is like for you?— like for you? it is incredible at the moment. _ like for you? it is incredible at the moment. the _ like for you? it is incredible at the moment. the winter i like for you? it is incredible at i the moment. the winter pressure, pressure you would normally get in

the winter. lastjune it was 31 million appointments, 1 million per day. that is one third higher than just before the pandemic started. 0ver just before the pandemic started. over a week we are doing seven days of work in five days. despite that, and i know people will be moaning because they can't get an appointment with a gp, but the waiting lists for getting an appointment, it is by phone, but it is eight days. it used to be 1a before the pandemic but of course face—to—face have dropped. still over half of appointments, but people are saying they really want to face—to—face appointments and thatis to face—to—face appointments and that is the only way we are coping with the increased workload, to have these triage calls. do you think thatis these triage calls. do you think thati- these triage calls. do you think that l- ., ., ,, ., that is the future, to talk to them on the phone? — that is the future, to talk to them on the phone? it _ that is the future, to talk to them on the phone? it is _ that is the future, to talk to them on the phone? it is up— that is the future, to talk to them on the phone? it is up to - that is the future, to talk to them on the phone? it is up to the i that is the future, to talk to them i on the phone? it is up to the doctor to decide whether— on the phone? it is up to the doctor to decide whether they _ on the phone? it is up to the doctor to decide whether they need - on the phone? it is up to the doctor to decide whether they need to i on the phone? it is up to the doctor to decide whether they need to see | on the phone? it is up to the doctor. to decide whether they need to see a patient. if it is about medication you don't need to see them, you can

do it on the phone but if someone has abdominal pain or a migraine or you want to check them out then hopefully that will always be there as a priority. but lots more staff are being trained up, paramedics, nurses who are very highly qualified, and what we are seeing in primary care is a huge number of people now doing that work. notjust gps, it will be others helping out and that is very welcome. people mi . ht and that is very welcome. people miaht be and that is very welcome. people might be a _ and that is very welcome. people might be a bit— and that is very welcome. people might be a bit frustrated, - and that is very welcome. people might be a bit frustrated, your. might be a bit frustrated, your patient might say he can go and sit on the breakfast sofa, why can't i sit with him in the surgery and not just the phone?— sit with him in the surgery and not just the phone? usea see a kind of bi chance just the phone? usea see a kind of big change in _ just the phone? usea see a kind of big change in different _ just the phone? usea see a kind of big change in different practices. i big change in different practices. some practices will be seeing almost all their patients. not all, but certainly a huge number. 0thers all their patients. not all, but certainly a huge number. others were perhaps not be doing so many. there needs to be some consistency. nhs england sent a very unhelpful letter out to surgery saying you have to see people face—to—face. now we are living beyond that say we have to cope with this workload, which is a third higher than we have ever known

in the select so we cannot see everyone face—to—face. so many patients say they just want a two minute conversation. and then of course if you get ten people doing that, it always takes ten minutes, actually, that is 100 minutes, 1.5 hours, you start to run out of time. bear with us, it is hard, really difficult at the moment, and the reason people are coming in so much, there is a bit of anxiety about dealing with their own children and health issues. there is catch up and we are getting more infections. let's talk about that. i have heard lots of friends who have got it but they are double jabbed so just explain what is going on. we they are double jabbed so 'ust explain what is going on. we know the 'ab explain what is going on. we know the jab really _ explain what is going on. we know the jab really helps _ explain what is going on. we know the jab really helps with _ the jab really helps with hospitalisations and it is about 25% times reduction in hospitalisation -- 25 times reduction in hospitalisation —— 25 times reduction. the infectivity, it reduces, but people are going to get it, and if you have

been double jabbed it doesn't mean you will never get covid, you will get it, but the symptoms will be less. what we are finding now is that the actual vaccine, and it seems to be all of them, with the delta variant, isn't completely controlling it. we will see infectivity. it means we are shifting away from thinking, 0k, we have herd immunity, and we have to accept we have to live with it but it will not be as dangerous and as time goes on it will become less virulent. that is the thought. let's take it out of the headlines because it is becoming safer, we are not seeing a big rise in hospitalisations. ikla seeing a big rise in hositalisations. ., , , , seeing a big rise in hositalisations. , , hospitalisations. no surprise you can catch it _ hospitalisations. no surprise you can catch it if— hospitalisations. no surprise you can catch it if you _ hospitalisations. no surprise you can catch it if you have _ hospitalisations. no surprise you can catch it if you have been i hospitalisations. no surprise you i can catch it if you have been double jabbed? can catch it if you have been double 'abbed? ~ , , .,, ., jabbed? absolutely. people are worried. but _ jabbed? absolutely. people are worried. but it _ jabbed? absolutely. people are worried. but it shouldn't i jabbed? absolutely. people are worried. but it shouldn't be i jabbed? absolutely. people are| worried. but it shouldn't be very symptomatic. of course there will always be exceptions but in general it is a lot safer, and carry on getting the vaccination if you haven't had it.— getting the vaccination if you haven't had it. that is the key

that certain they woke him up after a long flight! britain's most expensive footballer, jack grealish, has been officially presented to manchester city fans. he came on as a substitute in their community shield defeat to leicester on saturday — but this was the first time he's talked to the media about his £100 million move from aston villa. he said he was excited about his new challenge, but it was a huge wrench to leave his boyhood club. everyone's seen the way messi was yesterday or the day before at his final press conference, and that is the exact way i felt myself. actually before i left, at the hotel, i spoke to the team and the staff and the players. and, yeah, you know, i teared up a little bit myself. england cricket head coach chris silverwood says all—rounder moeen ali could be drafted back into the squad, and may even feature in the second test against india at lord's this week.

captainjoe root made 64 and a superb 109 in the drawn opening match, but no other england player managed more than 32. that's something that joe and i are going to chat about obviously, when we get to lord's and sit down and have a coffee and go through the potential 11 for lord's, really, the squad for lord's. i mean, we know he's a fine cricketer, he's showing fine form, obviously in the hundred at the moment. appreciate it's a different format, but he's showing us what he can do there so i think it's something that has to be in our mind. well, last night moeen showed exactly why he is back in the england coach's thoughts. he scored a half—century as birmingham phoenix smashed their way to 184—5 in the hundred — the highest score in the tournament so far. and welsh fire were bowled out for 91, imran tahirfinishing them off with a hat—trick. phoenix won by 93 runs, to go to the top of the table. andy murray has been added

to the main draw at the us open after former champion stan wawrinka withdrew. murray pulled out of the singles at the tokyo 0lympics with a thigh strain and reached the quarter—finals of the doubles, alongsidejoe salisbury. the us open starts injust under three weeks' time. that man is never beaten committee? no. see you later with your excellent guests. documents obtained by the bbc�*s panorama programme suggest that david cameron earned around £7 million from a controversial finance company called greensill capital before it collapsed earlier this year. the former prime minister has been criticised for lobbying the government on behalf of the finance firm during the pandemic. a spokesperson for david cameron said he acted in good faith at all times and there was no wrongdoing in any of his actions. we're joined now by panorama reporter andy verity.

david cameron has repeatedly refused to say how much money he may from greensill capital but took us for what you discover. brute greensill capital but took us for what you discover.— greensill capital but took us for what you discover. we got hold of the letter from _ what you discover. we got hold of the letter from greensill - what you discover. we got hold of the letter from greensill capital i what you discover. we got hold of| the letter from greensill capital to david cameron, which indicates he got $4.5 million after tax, after cashing in greensill shares in 2019 and was also paid a salary of $1 million per year. as a part—time adviser to the company. 0n million per year. as a part—time adviser to the company. on top of that we understand he was paid a bonus of $700,000 in 2019, so you do everything he made over 2.5 years of part—time work and it looks like he made around $10 million before tax for 2.5 years of part—time work. them company, greensill, collapsed in march this year, leaving investors and uk taxpayers, as well, with big losses.— with big losses. that's right. we have been _ with big losses. that's right. we have been taking _ with big losses. that's right. we have been taking a _ with big losses. that's right. we have been taking a close i with big losses. that's right. we have been taking a close look. with big losses. that's right. we have been taking a close look atj have been taking a close look at some of greensill�*s investment

schemes. david cameron has told us he wasn't involved in any lending decisions but did become aware that greensill had much cash to one man here you will have heard of, sanjeev gupta. he his business empire by borrowing around $5 billion from greensill capital, and we have got hold of internal greensill documents which reveal the government knew the company of sanjeev gupta it was in trouble by starting 2020 because it was unable to make payments on its greensill loans. the investors whose money was the alleged didn't know because greensill uses its own cash to cover the repayments that could not be avoided. we saw an e—mail sentin not be avoided. we saw an e—mail sent in 2020 that says those unusual payments have been going on forfour months. it is not even robbing peter to pay paul, this e—mail says, it is just recirculation of greensill

guarantee has been suspended but the suspension has been disputed so the government could still have to cough up government could still have to cough up £320 million because of this, then you have the serious fraud office investigation, including the 0ffice investigation, including the financing arrangement between sanjeev gupta and greensill. $5 financing arrangement between sanjeev gupta and greensill. san'eev gupta and greensill. as part of sanjeev gupta and greensill. as part of panorama — sanjeev gupta and greensill. as part of panorama you _ sanjeev gupta and greensill. as part of panorama you have _ sanjeev gupta and greensill. as part of panorama you have approached i sanjeev gupta and greensill. as part i of panorama you have approached the different parties, what are they saying? different parties, what are they sa inc? , ., , , different parties, what are they sa in? , ., _ ., different parties, what are they sa in.? , ., ,, ., ., saying? obviously we do the right to rel saying? obviously we do the right to reply process- _ saying? obviously we do the right to reply process. gfg _ saying? obviously we do the right to reply process. gfg alliance - saying? obviously we do the right to reply process. gfg alliance said i saying? obviously we do the right to reply process. gfg alliance said it i reply process. gfg alliance said it takes the inquiry seriously and allegations of improper conduct are denied in the strongest terms. lex greensill, the founder of greensill, he said he wasn't aware there was a recommendation descending and insolvency practitioner, and a spokesman for david cameron said he had no knowledge of gfg's national system situation, he acted in good faith at all times and there was no wrongdoing in his actions. mr cameron made representations to the government because he believed they would be material benefit to uk businesses as a challenging time and

they were bankrupt because he knew he was going to gain financially if he was going to gain financially if he was going to gain financially if he was able to pull it off? he has been very — he was able to pull it off? he has been very clear _ he was able to pull it off? he has been very clear about _ he was able to pull it off? he has been very clear about his i he was able to pull it off? he has been very clear about his role - he was able to pull it off? he has been very clear about his role in l been very clear about his role in this and mr cameron was a spokesman saying his renumeration was a private matter. what is the mechanism here, how would you like to see that happen? i mechanism here, how would you like to see that happen?— to see that happen? i think the main investigation — to see that happen? i think the main investigation here _ to see that happen? i think the main investigation here is _ to see that happen? i think the main investigation here is the _ to see that happen? i think the main investigation here is the serious - investigation here is the serious fraud office because of the suggestion that there were fake invoices produced by greensill capital to raise money from investors who thought they were real invoices to pay for companies they thought were valid when actually they were not able to trade as a going concern and if mr cameron is someone who seems to be involved at the most senior levels in greensill capital then i assume the serious fraud office will want to speak to mr cameron. imilli fraud office will want to speak to mr cameron-— fraud office will want to speak to mr cameron. ~ ,, u, ., i. mr cameron. will you calling to your select committee? _ mr cameron. will you calling to your select committee? that _ mr cameron. will you calling to your select committee? that is _ mr cameron. will you calling to your select committee? that is a - mr cameron. will you calling to your| select committee? that is a decision for the committee _ select committee? that is a decision for the committee when _ select committee? that is a decision for the committee when we - select committee? that is a decision for the committee when we return i select committee? that is a decision for the committee when we return in september. we have not engaged with mr cameron but we have been in contact with sanjeev gupta and lex greensill. contact with san'eev gupta and lex

ministers who quite frankly in politics are often long—term friends, that is inappropriate when you are doing that for financial gain, but we also thought it was appropriate to pressure and text message officials, civil servants, which is completely inappropriate. i thought these were pretty basic rules that everyone understood but if the former prime minister doesn't understand the navy remake delay network —— member prime minister doesn't understand then maybe we need to write them down.- doesn't understand then maybe we need to write them down. thank you very much- — need to write them down. thank you very much- just _ need to write them down. thank you very much. just to _ need to write them down. thank you very much. just to remind _ need to write them down. thank you very much. just to remind our- very much. just to remind our viewers, in march david cameron was cleared by a watchdog looking at whether he engaged in lobbying for which he should have been registered. i suspect that is a story will talk about again. i am sure the panorama _ story will talk about again. i am sure the panorama team - story will talk about again. i —n sure the panorama team will keep across it. it is 6:54am. a huge worry for so many students right across the uk today as they get their results, whether it is a levels or it be text and what it will mean for the next stage in their lives. students who get their results have been through so much. they have suffered so much over the

have some fog around this morning, particularly into the south—west where visibility is poor. that will lift and for most of us today it will be a drier day than yesterday with warm sunshine and a few showers,. another area of cloud is waiting in the atlantic, connected to an area of low pressure, which will come our way tonight. a ridge of high pressure bringing some settled conditions. showers in the north—east already this morning, pushing eastwards through the day into the midlands and east anglia. these are the heavy ones, across eastern and northern scotland. the showers, bright towards the rest. one or two showers for northern ireland, and in the north coast of

england, and of scattered showers in england, and of scattered showers in england and wales. temperatures today 111 to 22 degrees. in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. through the evening and overnight, we will start with showers then have some clearer skies, mist and fog patches forming in eastern areas, the wind will be picking out towards the wind will be picking out towards the west as the cloud builds and by the west as the cloud builds and by the end of the night, a first front will come in. the second front coming in across northern ireland will bring more persistent rain. it will bring more persistent rain. it will not be a cold night in towns and cities, temperatures are staying in double figures. here are the weather fronts, in double figures. here are the weatherfronts, coming our way. still high pressure in charge in southern areas, are still quite settled here. we could see high—temperature is if the cloud breaks, 25 degrees in the south—east. the cloud will advance ahead of the band of rain, we could have some drizzle in the afternoon in the midlands and more persistent

rain coming in from the west. behind that, it will brighten up across northern ireland and western scotland. as we move through thursday, over the front sinks towards the south, then we will have another area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic. here is the weather front producing some cloud, the odd spot of rain from it but it will break up in the afternoon. but as our next area of low pressure comes in from the atlantic, it will bring more rain and it will be windy, particularly in the west and particularly around the western isles. we could have gusts of wind up isles. we could have gusts of wind up to 50 miles an hour. if you are in the sunshine, looking at temperatures of 15 in levitt, 20 in newcastle, lower in the rain. in the south—east, it is dependent on the brakes in the cloud whether we hit 25. we think we should and if we do,

it will be the first time sincejuly that we have hit 25, we haven't seen anything like that during the course of august so far. that's it for now, stay tuned because the headlines are coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. our headlines this morning. it's a—level results day, and the number of top grades is expected to rise when students in england, wales and northern ireland get their results. it isa it is a big day, i am at loughborough college and students here and across the uk will be hoping they will get the grades they need to put a difficulty behind them. a lawsuit is filed by a woman in new york, accusing prince andrew of historical sexual abuse. firefighters from across europe head to greece, to help battle wildfires on evia — the country's second largest island. we have more olympians in the studio today. keely hodgkinson and the gadirova

twins will be here, to tell us about their medal—winning exploits in tokyo. it's tuesday the 10th of august. our top story. hundreds of thousands of students will receive their a levels results today — and high grades are expected across england, wales and northern ireland. for a second year results have been based mainly on teacher assessments, after exams were cancelled because of the pandemic. vocational btec results are also out today, and higher and national grades in scotland will be confirmed. our education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. this marks the most challenging year for students. this marks the most challenging year forstudents. injanuary, for students. in january, traditional exams were forstudents. injanuary, traditional exams were scrapped and replaced with teacher assessed grades. in loughborough, shivani and firm say dealing with the disruption, constant assessments and the fear

that their grades are not seen as valid has been tough. that does add more stress for me than i think an exam would because with an exam, it's sort of like you take it in one sitting, and that's it. and you can't go back to it and the rest of it is out of your control. there's a lot of talk about the issue of grade inflation, and i appreciate that that's a real concern. but ultimately, in the circumstances that, you know, have prevailed, the alternative wouldn't have been fair and it wouldn't have been feasible. and so i'm confident in myself and i think future employers will be that this year, given how exceptional it was, it's the best result and the best approach we could have had. with exams cancelled, ensuring fairness has been a challenge. students have been assessed only on what they have been taught. the pandemic has also put pressure on teachers who need to provide evidence for every grade that has been awarded. the teachers themselves had to do that marking and then feed that marking into the grading meetings and the grading meetings were a significant unit of work in themselves,

hours of meetings discussing grades, grade boundaries and students and their individual circumstances and defending those grades as we determine them and ensure that we can evidence them. so a huge amount of work. the government says one in five schools have had a sample of their grades checked by exam boards. it's expected that those receiving top grades will be significantly higher than in previous years. and with record numbers applying to go to university, it could put pressure on places. what we need to do this year is just make sure that we focus on what's happened now and that we give absolute confidence to young people that their efforts have been worthwhile and the exam results they get today are a fair reflection of their ability, and they can go with pride to the next step in their education or into the employment market. a—levels students in wales and northern ireland will also get their grades today, and in scotland, higher and national results will be confirmed. students may not have sat traditional exams, but the pandemic has been a test on many levels. elaine dunkley, bbc

news in loughborough. we are thinking of you this morning if you are about to open those envelopes and get it, it brings back all sorts of memories! we'll be catching up with students and teachers throughout the morning, and we'll also be speaking to education secretary gavin williamson and the head of the university application service ucas. the results are just the start of it, there is a whole knock—on effect as far as fire —— and employment is concerned. a woman from the us has filed a civil lawsuit in new york, accusing prince andrew of sexual abuse. in a statement, virginia roberts giuffre claims she was trafficked to the prince by the convicted paedophilejeffrey epstein when she was 17. the duke of york has consistently denied the allegations. the civil suit alleges that convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein forced virginia roberts giuffre to have sex with prince andrew

when she was just 17, in london, new york and the us virgin islands. and she claims that prince andrew knew he was a sex trafficking victim, that she was underage, and she never consented to the alleged sexual acts. now, prince andrew has previously emphatically denied these allegations and in fact the allegations themselves are not what's new here. what's new is her ability to file this lawsuit. and a landmark new york state law called the child victims act, there is a window of opportunity for alleged victims to file claims of sexual abuse, no matter how long ago they occurred. but that window expires in just a few days. so prince andrew's representatives were contacted by virginia roberts giuffre's legal team who said that they would file this suit

if they did not come to a negotiated settlement. they say that they didn't hear anything back from prince andrew's team, and that's why they were moving forward with this lawsuit. in a statement, she said that she took a look of time to think over her decision, she did not come to it lightly, and that she did understand that it might open her up to further attacks. again, though, prince andrew has emphatically denied the allegations. firefighters from across europe are still trying to bring wildfires in greece under control, following the country's most severe heatwave in 30 years. the wildfires have been burning for a week on the country's second largest island, evia. meanwhile in northern california blazes have been raging since last month, and officials say less than a quarter of the fires have been contained. david cameron made around £7 million from greensill capital before the controversial finance company collapsed earlier this year.

that's according to documents obtained by bbc panorama. the former prime minister had lobbied the government on behalf of the company and has repeatedly refused to tell mps what he was paid by greensill. a spokesman for mr cameron said his remuneration was a private matter. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. i know this is a story that has lots of different threads, tell us what the reaction is in the analysis. labour said it was utterly ludicrous that david cameron was apparently paid so much to work for a financial services firm that then collapsed, they say because he hasn't broken any rules when it comes to lobbying government ministers and civil servants, that they would change the rules to ban former prime ministers from doing that. there's still a few things we don't know here. we do not know what the final cost to the taxpayer will be of the collapse of greensill capital and some of its

clients into administration. because loans were made by greensill to some of their customers which were guaranteed by the government. the government guarantee and has been withdrawn on some of those loans but there is a dispute about that so we will have to wait for that to work out before there is a final bill for the government. we don't know what the government. we don't know what the government's appetite is for changing the rules for former prime ministers lobbying the current government. they have done a review into what happened with greensill but the first part of that review is about the facts, about who said what and what happened when, we are still waiting for part two of that review which would have any recommendations for changing the overall system of how all of this works. for his part, david cameron's office has issued a statement saying he deeply regrets what happened, he didn't know anything about difficulties at greensill or any of the companies they were dealing with, and that he did not receive the money that panoramic is claiming he did. thank ou ve panoramic is claiming he did. thank you very much. _ panoramic is claiming he did. thank

loughborough for us. how the nerves? it is always a tense day. it is a tense day and in a few hours, the students will find out what results they have and the closer they get, the more difficult, but it has been an incredible challenging year. every aspect of how they have learned and been assessed has been significantly impacted by the pandemic. many of them have mist parts of their courses, they have had to isolate, many were expecting to do exams and they were cancelled in january and replaced by teacher assessed grades. there have been some incredible challenges. let's talk to some students now. how are you feeling? all right, pretty nervous but that is too expected. ijust want all right, pretty nervous but that is too expected. i just want to all right, pretty nervous but that is too expected. ijust want to get it over and done with, making it at all has been an achievement this year. all has been an achievement this ear. ~ . �* , all has been an achievement this ear. . . �* , . all has been an achievement this ear. . . �*, . . . year. what's have the challenges? mainl the year. what's have the challenges? mainly the uncertainty, _ year. what's have the challenges? mainly the uncertainty, when - year. what's have the challenges? mainly the uncertainty, when we l year. what's have the challenges? - mainly the uncertainty, when we came backin mainly the uncertainty, when we came back in september, we had no idea what we were doing, we didn't know

has described the wildfires that have caused so much devastation. the battle to contain them continues on the island of evia. more than 500 blazes have broken out across the country in recent days. firefighters have been joined by local residents trying to make the area safe. climate change is real and the heat, the heat wave affected this. we didn't see any rain to stop this fire. i used to run into this forest. i used to cycle. we used to go and collect fruits. now everything is gone. where the fires have been contained, it's now a case of counting the cost to the environment and to property. homes ruined, residents and holidaymakers forced to flee. in athens, protests. these demonstrators say the government hadn't done enough to prepare for such a disaster. the prime minister has promised more money to tackle the fires and their aftermath.

translation: it's obvious | that the climate crisis is now knocking on the door of the entire planet, with fires that last weeks. this is a reason, but it's not an excuse nor an alibi. and i will say it clearly. we may have done whatever is humanly possible, but in many cases that did not appear to be enough in the unequal battle with nature. catastrophic scenes in the us too. the dixie fire is the second largest wildfire in northern california has ever seen. the warning is it could take weeks to contain. 5,000 firefighters have been drafted in. they say they're in uncharted territory. as in greece, it's clear, there will be many more difficult days ahead. simon jones, bbc news. we will talk about both california and greece. but let's start with

greece. we're joined now by danielle scott, a firefighter from merseyside, who has travelled to greece to help bring the fires under control. what have you been up to so far? we what have you been up to so far? - landed in athens yesterday, and then we travel to a mountainous area where we did some assessments on the hillsides with the greek civil protection authority and the fireside. , , ., protection authority and the fireside. , , . ., ,, ,, ., fireside. give us an assessment of how serious _ fireside. give us an assessment of how serious the _ fireside. give us an assessment of how serious the situation - fireside. give us an assessment of how serious the situation is - fireside. give us an assessment of how serious the situation is and i how serious the situation is and what will able to be done about it. i haven't seen fires like this before in the uk, it's something which is completely new to me, i have seen grass fires an open area fires but this is on another scale. so, how do you even start, how do you start putting out these fires? give us some practical, what you're up give us some practical, what you're up to.

cornwall, central and south—western scotland, where visibility is poor. when that lifts you will find some warm sunshine and a few showers, some across scotland will be heavy and thundery. more especially in the north and east. showers are dotted across england and wales drifting eastward through the day but fairly isolated. any showers clipping and can tend to fade and bear it lot of dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine and summerfair dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine and summer fair weather. moving into northern ireland, the shower. police fails, some showers in the east coast of edward but apart from that north—west england as much of which have not dry. which is southern and western scotland drivers sunshine but some heavy and thundery showers across the north and east. temperatures today 1a to 24. and east. temperatures today 14 to 24. you are in that 24 in the sunshine, —— if you are in 24 in the sunshine, —— if you are in 24 in the sunshine it will be pleasant. we hang on to the showers in the

evening, lots will fade overnight, some mist and fog patches form once again and the winds pick up towards the west. heralding the arrival of a couple of weather fronts. the cloud will build, the first weather front coming in will introduce some rain and drizzle and more persistent rain will follow into the west of northern ireland from the second weather front. tomorrow, northern ireland from the second weatherfront. tomorrow, any patchy mist and fog that formed overnight were left in the east. some sunshine first thing but cloud will build as you go through the day, fit enough for the odd spot of drizzle in the midlands and once again a weather front coming in and bringing persistent rain and also quite gusty winds around it. brightening across western scotland and also northern ireland. which is getting up to 24, possibly 25 degrees if the cloud remains broken long enough in the south—east. overnight in three thursday our weather front will sink southwards as a fairly weak feature. it will mostly be a band of cloud. you could catch the spots of rain but it will break up as we go

through the day allowing some sunshine to come through. north of that, let it dry weather, once again looking at some sunny skies coming through. an area of low pressure coming into the west will introduce some rain, heavy at times, and also strengthening winds. strengthening winds in the west but the strongest will be across the western isles, where we could have gusts of about 40 mph. we could hit 25 degrees again if the cloud remains broken long enough in the south—east, but not feeling particularly special as we push out under that band of rain in the wind, we are looking at 17 or 18 degrees. the outlook, then, rain at times in the west, but drier and brighter in the east. i will have more in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. back to our top story. after another challenging year, students across the uk will receive their a—level, highers and btec results later this morning —

with grades awarded based on teacher estimates. we're joined now from westminster by the education secretary gavin williamson. good morning to you, thank you for joining us. reports this morning, we will get precise data later but reports are at that very nearly half of the students took a—levels will get either a or a*. are you happy with that, is that right? i’m get either a or a*. are you happy with that, is that right?— with that, is that right? i'm sure ou with that, is that right? i'm sure you would _ with that, is that right? i'm sure you would want _ with that, is that right? i'm sure you would want to _ with that, is that right? i'm sure you would want to join _ with that, is that right? i'm sure you would want to join us - with that, is that right? i'm sure you would want to join us in - you would want tojoin us in congratulating other students who have worked so incredibly hard and as you yourself said in quite exceptional times, as well and worked so incredibly hard to get their grades and in an hour, hundreds of thousands of youngsters up hundreds of thousands of youngsters up and down the country it will be opening their results and seeing what they've got. we should be celebrating that because there has been so much work that has gone into

this but let's not forget this is a truly exceptional year. this cohort of students have had to deal with a level of disruption that no one has ever seen before, not even during world war, as a result of this country. it is right that we take the unprecedented steps in order to be able to ensure that they can take the next step on in their careers and lives, whether that is to university, into an apprenticeship, work or hire technical qualification. i work or hire technical qualification.- work or hire technical dualification. ., ., , , ., qualification. i totally understand what you're _ qualification. i totally understand what you're saying. _ qualification. i totally understand what you're saying. every - qualification. i totally understand | what you're saying. every parent, grandparent knows what these kits have been through over the last 18 months. it has been awful. nobody will decry then and their results today, they have all handled things incredibly well. but grade inflation on at this level is unlike anything we have seen before, and what about the kids who take exams next year was like they have also been disrupted, helped these challenges,

will they also get a hike because they have been through this? you raise a really _ they have been through this? iii. raise a really important point. we do expect students to be getting better grades this year that may be in previous years, but it is very difficult to compare the experience that students have been through this year to the experienced students have had in many previous years before. but what we set out, and we set it out actually in the last academic year, a process of returning back to normality. you know, next year we very much hope to be taking that important step of returning back to examinations, we also set out what mitigations we are looking at putting in place, but we do also recognise that youngsters next year will have faced disruption in terms of their education. hopefully substantially less hopefully su bsta ntially less disruption than hopefully substantially less disruption than this cohort of youngsters, but we do recognise

that, which is why we have outlined a set of mitigations for examinations next year, and we want to create a sort of glide path and a return back to normality, but recognising that students have been impacted by this and it isn'tjust this year that has been impacted, and that is why we need to manage that return back to normality for all students.— that return back to normality for all students. ., ., «i «i all students. you make it sound like it has all been _ all students. you make it sound like it has all been planned _ all students. you make it sound like it has all been planned and - all students. you make it sound like| it has all been planned and managed impeccably. your critics say it has been a complete disaster. the institute for government came out with a report a couple of days ago and said you have failed students because she didn't plan properly for the eventuality that there would be a second wave and exams would have to be cancelled this year at —— you did not plan properly. you would be getting a failed today. sadie did not plan properly. you would be getting a failed today.— getting a failed today. sadly that re -ort was getting a failed today. sadly that report was both _ getting a failed today. sadly that report was both inaccurate - getting a failed today. sadly that report was both inaccurate and i report was both inaccurate and misleading because we had already undergone contingency planning all the way through that autumn term in the way through that autumn term in the run—up to christmas. we had

actually set out our plans for a return to exams in 2021, but we had also, as part of that, done the internal planning in order to be able to recognise the fact that the pandemic can take many different terms. the point that report made was that the autumn was far too late to be doing that, to be making those changes. you had should have been predicting or planning for a second wave months before that. this time last year. so, of course we had run the process over teacher at centre assessed grades last year. we had obviously learnt a lot of experiences as a result of doing that, so our policy approach to actually having a contingency plan was, as you've seen this year, completely different to last year and it would have been wrong not to have learnt the lessons from last yearin have learnt the lessons from last year in terms of our planning. if we

were not in a position to be able to proceed with exams, to then do an absolute carbon copy of what we did last year because i personally didn't think it served to students well enough, which is why i apologised personally for that. so we wanted to very much learn the lessons from last year, and make sure we had a system that works better for students and worked better for students and worked better for students and worked better for schools, better for students and worked betterfor schools, as better for students and worked better for schools, as well. better for students and worked betterfor schools, as well. so it seems odd an idea, that you don't learnt the lessons of actually how you can improve the system or how you can improve the system or how you have a better approach, so when we were in that awful situation, and i'm sure you remember it well, where we had to say to schools that they were not going to be able to run classes normally like we want to see schools running classes, but actually we were having to close the doors to so many students, we were ready just literally after that announcement to give a clear direction of the approach we are

taking, and then launch a major consultation straight after that in order to give people the opportunity to have their say, but also give clarity and direction as to what we're going to do. for clarity and direction as to what we're going to do.— we're going to do. for those students _ we're going to do. for those students getting _ we're going to do. for those students getting their - we're going to do. for those | students getting their results we're going to do. for those - students getting their results today are thinking about the next stage of couege are thinking about the next stage of college and university, we have heard from a lot that they are really worried that when they get there they will be stuck in their rooms again, and computers again, doing online learning, not having face—to—face lectures, anything like enough and they are saying, look, if i can go nightclubbing and to the pub with my mates, why on earth can't universities be forced to teach us face—to—face? will you force universities to do that? idate force universities to do that? we have been _ force universities to do that? 2 have been absolutely clear with universities but it is absolutely safe and ok to do face—to—face teaching, whether that is tutorials and lectures. i want to see that happen in universities. i don't have as many direct power over universities as we do over at

schools but the office for students, which is the regulator, which is clear that we need high quality teaching. for me, a key element of high quality teaching is about being in the lecture theatre, being with your peers, the socialising and the discussion that goes on there. of course we have all discovered we can do so much of this on teams and zoom but there is nothing like being there in person so i do want to see that return. i will be asking the ofs to put as much pressure on universities to bring back full face—to—face teaching. that is what students want and i don't think we should be naive about this. if you don't have a face—to—face teaching in the lecture theatre... i mean, i am very old now but i can just about remember my student days, tend to be a bit of mingling and socialising outside of the lecture theatre, as well. i'm not sure if you recall that. , , .., ., ., well. i'm not sure if you recall that. , , ., ., , that. universities could have a bit of a credibility _ that. universities could have a bit of a credibility problem _ that. universities could have a bit of a credibility problem if - that. universities could have a bit

of a credibility problem if they - of a credibility problem if they don't do what face—to—face lectures and teaching, the students will say, well, what are my fave for? thousands of pounds, i need that face—to—face experience. if you care as much about these young people and think it is said to be rewarded after what they have been free for the last 18 months, it is all right to asking universities to do this but they are going to say, what are you going to do about it? this but they are going to say, what are you going to do about it?— you going to do about it? this is wh we you going to do about it? this is why we have _ you going to do about it? this is why we have asked _ you going to do about it? this is why we have asked the - you going to do about it? this is| why we have asked the regulator you going to do about it? this is i why we have asked the regulator to look at the quality of teaching as a manifesto commitment, it is something we are absolutely clear on. we have to make sure we have high quality teaching in universities. a key element of that will always be face—to—face. this is why the regulator does have some of those powers to put the pressure on universities to get back to face—to—face lectures. that is what we want to see across institutions right across the land, universities are very safe places to be, they take their health and safety incredibly seriously and i think

that, as we get students to fully back into universities in september and october, we want to see them backin and october, we want to see them back in the lecture theatre as well as just on campus. back in the lecture theatre as well asjust on campus.— asjust on campus. these bumper results today _ asjust on campus. these bumper results today mean _ asjust on campus. these bumper results today mean there - asjust on campus. these bumper results today mean there will i asjust on campus. these bumper results today mean there will be l results today mean there will be record numbers of students turning up record numbers of students turning up at universities in september and october and there are real concerns among a lot of young people and their parents that these universities will not be able to cope with these people, they won't have the right accommodation, not enough space, they could be real chaos next month. what can you do and what are you doing to make sure that doesn't happen? idate and what are you doing to make sure that doesn't happen?— that doesn't happen? we are already workin: that doesn't happen? we are already working very — that doesn't happen? we are already working very closely _ that doesn't happen? we are already working very closely with _ that doesn't happen? we are already working very closely with the - working very closely with the university sector, and if i can take the opportunity to thank them for the opportunity to thank them for the work they are doing to be able to accommodate students, so many students coming through, and we will have a bumper year this year because we have a big demographic bulge of my students who are going to be of that age where they can go to university and we always see every year, and every year the bbc

coverage of it, the real competition there is to get into the best universities, but we have already taken some action. there is always pressure on medical places, which is why we have increased the number of medical places. just a few years ago that set at 6000 places. each academic year we have grown that to close it to 8500 for this year. we put in extra money, an extra £10 million for universities to increase the number of high quality more expensive courses, which are often in most demand for students, because we want to be able to do as much as we want to be able to do as much as we can do to accommodate students into the system. put we can do to accommodate students into the system.— into the system. put all of those extra students, _ into the system. put all of those extra students, that _ into the system. put all of those extra students, that can - into the system. put all of those extra students, that can only i into the system. put all of those i extra students, that can only mean it is going to be more difficult, life on campus will be more difficult. they will not be of space, one—to—one teaching, or one to 20, one to 30, one to 40 teaching. it will not be the student

experience that lots of people might remember from the past because of the weight the results work to day. well, i think that universities have demonstrated an amazing ability to deliver really high quality university experience. they have had to be flexible and i'm sure they will be going to great lengths this yearin will be going to great lengths this year in order to be able to accommodate those students, but universities have grown their capacity over the last few years. there is a growth in capacity coming into this year, as well, and we are confident that the student experience will be an ever better student experience, but universities have been working so hard to accommodate those students and make sure they have the opportunities to take that next step in life. it is really important also to recognise there are so many students who will not be going down that route of finishing their a—levels or technical vocational qualifications and going straight on to university.

there are so many other brilliant routes to choose from, whether that is high quality apprenticeships which deliver so much and, actually, sometimes for a lot of youngsters to live better results in terms of better earnings for them, earning while they learn, but also hire technical qualifications in colleges and different routes can also be taken, we do need to get out of the habit of university is just the one and only route that young people can go down. mar; and only route that young people can do down. , and only route that young people can oodown. .. .. and only route that young people can oodown. i.. .. . and only route that young people can dodown. i.. .. . and only route that young people can oddown. i.. .. . . go down. may be because they will be so crowded- — go down. may be because they will be so crowded. while _ go down. may be because they will be so crowded. while we _ go down. may be because they will be so crowded. while we have _ go down. may be because they will be so crowded. while we have you i go down. may be because they will be so crowded. while we have you here, | so crowded. while we have you here, can ijust so crowded. while we have you here, can i just ask you about another story we are covering shortly this morning? a campaign by a lot of senior people, medics and people in to get mandatory defibrillators installed in all schools, notjust new and refurbished ones but every school should have defibrillators to stop children having heart problems. will you support that, when you insist that happens? i will you support that, when you insist that happens?— will you support that, when you insist that happens? i know how im -ortant insist that happens? i know how important defibrillators - insist that happens? i know how important defibrillators are, i insist that happens? i know how important defibrillators are, and having been involved right across my

26—year—old british record to do it. not bad for an athlete who is just 19 we will speak to her in a second. first let's take a look at that brilliant race. andrew cotter: it's keely hodgkinson. i talking about fast finishers, she really is dangerous, the 19—year—old, if she's in the right place. three britons in this final. can there be a medal, a first athletics medal? keely hodgkinson in a slightly better position to strike round the outside, so it's athing mu and reekie and goule and alemu, and hodgkinson now looking for a way through on the inside. is there going to be a gap inside goule? but it's athing mu, clear at the moment and ready to stride towards this gold medal, and it's great britain second and third. hodgkinson now striding towards silver. athing mu away and clear to the gold medal. she's going to take it, and hodgkinson... reekie's under pressure for the bronze, hodgkinson the silver. i like to put it all out there. and i did that.

it will take a couple of days to sink in, but... yeah, i'm so happy. i love that moment. could you recreate that moment for me? what happened? you werejust... you recreate that moment for me? what happened? you were just... you that surprised? i happened? you were 'ust. .. you that sur-rised? .. happened? you were 'ust. .. you that sur-rised? «i .. . .. surprised? i think me and my team knew that the _ surprised? i think me and my team knew that the medal _ surprised? i think me and my team knew that the medal was _ surprised? i think me and my team knew that the medal was possible l surprised? i think me and my team i knew that the medal was possible and i also knew the time was within me but when it all comes together, it is so hard to do and my coach did such a good job of making me peek at the right. that moment it all comes together does rare the right. that moment it all comes together doe— together does we have a great big -icture together does we have a great big picture which _ together does we have a great big picture which just _ together does we have a great big picture which just over _ together does we have a great big picture which just over your i picture which just over your shoulder. that will stay with you for many, many years. you are still so young. going into tokyo, what were your hopes? i so young. going into tokyo, what were your hopes?— so young. going into tokyo, what were your hopes? i think my hope definitely changed _ were your hopes? i think my hope definitely changed as _ were your hopes? i think my hope definitely changed as the - were your hopes? i think my hope definitely changed as the year i were your hopes? i think my hope. definitely changed as the year went on full stop as i start the year,

moment and we will see some more today. we the distinctive line of cloud in the atlantic, we have a ridge of high pressure across as keeping things fairly settled. there are some showers across north—west england, wales, a little bit further eastwards through the day. we have got some just skirting the coastline of essex and also into kent. but many of those will tend to fade. the heaviest showers are likely to be across north—east scotland, some could be thundery, we could catch the odd one in northern ireland, and one or two coming down the north—east coast of england. most of us will miss them, have a dry day and see some sunshine at some stage. temperatures getting up to 2a degrees, that will feel quite pleasant. as we had to the evening,

we have showers fading, mr fogg patches easing in —— mist and fog patches easing in —— mist and fog patches easing. and then we will have light rain and drizzle in tomorrow morning in northern scotland. the overnight lows in towns and cities are not particularly cold. here are the two weather fronts approaching, particularly cold. here are the two weatherfronts approaching, high weather fronts approaching, high pressure weatherfronts approaching, high pressure in the southern areas so dry conditions, and also potentially a high of 25 depending on the cloud breaks. when we lose the mist and fog, there will be sunshine but as the weather front approaches, the cloud will build, could be thick enoughin cloud will build, could be thick enough in the midlands for a spot of drizzle through the afternoon. the rain will be persistent as it moves eastwards, brightening up later on across western, northern ireland. quite windy as well. tomorrow in the south—east we could hit 25, the first time we have seen that since

july, we haven't seen it at all in august. overnight at the front will sink south, with us on thursday as a weak feature and low pressure coming in on the atlantic front. in the south, cloud, the odd spot of rain, that will break—up during the day allowing some time to develop. try weather and then sunshine, before over weather front introduces heavy rain across the north west, drizzle across the irish sea coastline, and strong winds in the western isles. stay with us, the headlines are coming up next.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. our headlines this morning. it's a—level results day, and the number of top grades is expected to rise when students in england, wales and northern ireland get their results.

everyone here is poised, waiting for their grades. it has been a difficultjourney and the students are hoping their anxiety will turn to relief when they get the results in half an hour. good morning from bolton, a big day for those in vocational training, they have been studying... business. computing- — they have been studying... business. computing. health _ they have been studying... business. computing. health and _ they have been studying... business. computing. health and social - they have been studying... business. computing. health and social careful| computing. health and social careful sto how computing. health and social careful stop how has — computing. health and social careful stop how has it _ computing. health and social careful stop how has it worked _ computing. health and social careful stop how has it worked over - stop how has it worked over lockdown? _ a lawsuit is filed by a woman in new york, accusing prince andrew of historical sexual abuse. firefighters from across europe head to greece, to help battle wildfires on evia — the country's second largest island. we have more olympians in the studio today. next up we have the brilliant gadirova twins, who won bronze for

written in the team gymnastics. —— bronze for britain. it's tuesday the 10th of august. our top story. hundreds of thousands of students will receive their a levels results today — and high grades are expected across england, wales and northern ireland. for a second year results have been based mainly on teacher assessments, after exams were cancelled because of the pandemic. vocational btec results are also out today, and higher and national grades in scotland will be confirmed. our education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. today's a—level results marks the end of the most challenging year for thousand of students. injanuary, traditional exams were scrapped and replaced with teacher assessed grades. in loughborough, shivani and finn say dealing with the disruption, constant assessments and the fear that their grades are not seen as valid has been tough. that does add more stress for me than i think an exam would because with an exam, it's sort of like you take it in one

sitting, and that's it. and you can't go back to it and the rest of it is out of your control. there's a lot of talk about the issue of grade inflation, and i appreciate that that's a real concern. but ultimately, in the circumstances that, you know, have prevailed, the alternative wouldn't have been fair and it wouldn't have been feasible. and so i'm confident in myself and i think future employers will be that this year, given how exceptional it was, it's the best result and the best approach we could have had. with exams cancelled, ensuring fairness has been a challenge. students have been assessed only on what they have been taught. the pandemic has also put pressure on teachers who need to provide evidence for every grade that has been awarded. the teachers themselves had to do that marking and then feed that marking into the grading meetings and the grading meetings were a significant unit of work in themselves, hours of meetings discussing grades, grade boundaries and students and their individual circumstances and defending those grades

as we determine them and ensure that we can evidence them. so a huge amount of work. the government says one in five schools have had a sample of their grades checked by exam boards. it's expected that those receiving top grades will be significantly higher than in previous years. and with record numbers applying to go to university, it could put pressure on places. let us not forget, this is a truly exceptional year. this cohort of students — exceptional year. this cohort of students have had to deal with the level of— students have had to deal with the level of disruption that no one has ever seen— level of disruption that no one has ever seen before, not even during world _ ever seen before, not even during world war. — ever seen before, not even during world war, as a result of this pandemic _ world war, as a result of this pandemic. and it's right that we take _ pandemic. and it's right that we take the — pandemic. and it's right that we take the unprecedented steps in order— take the unprecedented steps in order to — take the unprecedented steps in order to be able to ensure that they can take _ order to be able to ensure that they can take the next step on in their careers, — can take the next step on in their careers, and— can take the next step on in their careers, and their lives, whether that is— careers, and their lives, whether that is to — careers, and their lives, whether that is to university, whether that's— that is to university, whether that's into an apprenticeship, work or hire _ that's into an apprenticeship, work or hire technical qualification. a—levels students in wales and northern ireland will also

get their grades today, and in scotland, higher and national results will be confirmed. students may not have sat traditional exams, but the pandemic has been a test on many levels. elaine dunkley, bbc news in loughborough. we will be back with elaine scene, but gavin — we will be back with elaine scene, but gavin williamson has been talking — but gavin williamson has been talking about his aim to get university students back in the classroom. let's speak to our political— classroom. let's speak to our political correspondent adam fleming. a lot of students are fed up fleming. a lot of students are fed up of— fleming. a lot of students are fed up of doing all online. find fleming. a lot of students are fed up of doing all online.— fleming. a lot of students are fed up of doing all online. and a lot of students this _ up of doing all online. and a lot of students this morning _ up of doing all online. and a lot of students this morning will - up of doing all online. and a lot of students this morning will be - students this morning will be wondering about what the university experience will be like, after people going to uni last september and octoberfound that people going to uni last september and october found that they did lots of lectures on the laptops, confined to their holes, and it was not the university experience they were expecting. —— confined to their

halls of residence. but it was still the same cost of the normal university experience. so gavin williamson has been sending a strong message to universities on what they should be providing when students come back but sending a strong message is all he can actually do. we have been absolutely clear with universities, it's absolutely safe and 0k— universities, it's absolutely safe and 0k to — universities, it's absolutely safe and ok to do face—to—face teaching, whether— and ok to do face—to—face teaching, whether that is tutorials and lectures, _ whether that is tutorials and lectures, i want to see that happening universities. i don't have as nrany— happening universities. i don't have as many direct powers over universities as we do over schools, but the _ universities as we do over schools, but the office for students, the regulator, is clear that we want to have _ regulator, is clear that we want to have high— regulator, is clear that we want to have high quality teaching. for me, a key— have high quality teaching. for me, a key element of high quality teaching is about being in the lecture — teaching is about being in the lecture theatre, being with your peers — lecture theatre, being with your peers |t— lecture theatre, being with your eers. , :, lecture theatre, being with your eers. , ., .. , lecture theatre, being with your eers. , ., , ., lecture theatre, being with your neers. , :, , :, :, peers. it will be a case of what ha--ens peers. it will be a case of what happens when _ peers. it will be a case of what happens when the _ peers. it will be a case of what happens when the students i peers. it will be a case of what happens when the students go peers. it will be a case of what - happens when the students go back and what do students do about it when they potentially complain about the regulator, what can the regulator do about it and then does the government come under pressure to try and give themselves more

powers to see what they can do about the situation? although everything could turn out to be pretty ok. also looking forward to next years exams, which might seem a bit strange on the day we get the exam results for this year, is that officials in the department for education and ministers and schools and exam bodies are looking at what to do next year. they know that students are sitting exams in a year's time will have been just as affected by the pandemic as people sitting in this year and last year. chatting to people at the department for education, they say that disruption will have to be something that they take into account for years and years and years, into the future. so there will not be a normal exam results day for quite some time yet. cheers, thanks for that. a woman from the us has filed a civil lawsuit in new york, accusing prince andrew of sexual abuse. in a statement, virginia roberts giuffre claims she was trafficked to the prince by the convicted paedophilejeffrey epstein, when she was seventeen. the duke of york has consistently

denied the allegations. nada tawfik reports. the civil suit alleges that convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein forced virginia roberts giuffre to have sex with prince andrew when she was just 17, in london, new york and the us virgin islands. and she claims that prince andrew knew he was a sex trafficking victim, that she was underage, and she never consented to the alleged sexual acts. now, prince andrew has previously emphatically denied these allegations and in fact the allegations themselves are not what's new here. what's new is her ability to file this lawsuit. under a landmark new york state law called the child victims act, there is a window of opportunity for alleged victims to file claims of sexual abuse, no matter how long ago they occurred. but that window expires in just a few days.

so prince andrew's representatives were contacted by virginia roberts giuffre's legal team who said that they would file this suit if they did not come to a negotiated settlement. they say that they didn't hear anything back from prince andrew's team, and that's why they were moving forward with this lawsuit. in a statement, she said that she took a look of time to think over her decision, she did not come to it lightly, and that she did understand that it might open her up to further attacks. again, though, prince andrew has emphatically denied the allegations. david cameron made around £7 million from greensill capital before the controversial finance company collapsed earlier this year — that's according to documents obtained by bbc panorama. the former prime minister had lobbied the government on behalf of the company and has repeatedly refused to tell mps what he was paid by greensill. a spokesman for mr cameron said his remuneration was a private matter.

let's get the latest, i think, on the terrible fires we have seen across europe over the last few days. particularly in greece. firefighters from across europe are still trying to bring wildfires in greece under control, following the country's most severe heatwave in 30 years. in northern california, blazes have been raging since last month and officials say less than a quarter of the fires have been contained. a natural fury without precedent.

that's how the greek prime minister has described the wildfires that have caused so much devastation. the battle to contain them continues on the island of evia. more than 500 blazes have broken out across the country in recent days. firefighters have been joined by local residents trying to make the area safe. climate change is real and the heat, the heat wave affected this. we didn't see any rain to stop this fire. i used to run into this forest. i used to cycle. we used to go and collect fruits. now everything is gone. where the fires have been contained, it's now a case of counting the cost to the environment and to property. homes ruined, residents and holidaymakers forced to flee. in athens, protests. these demonstrators say the government hadn't done enough to prepare for such a disaster. the prime minister has promised more money to tackle the fires and their aftermath. translation: it's obvious | that the climate crisis is now knocking on the door of the entire planet, with fires that last weeks.

this is a reason, but it's not an excuse nor an alibi. and i will say it clearly. we may have done whatever is humanly possible, but in many cases that did not appear to be enough in the unequal battle with nature. catastrophic scenes in the us too. the dixie fire is the second largest wildfire in northern california has ever seen. the warning is it could take weeks to contain. 5,000 firefighters have been drafted in. they say they're in uncharted territory. as in greece, it's clear, there will be many more difficult days ahead. simon jones, bbc news. our europe correspondent bethany belljoins us now from the country's second largest island, evia, where the fires have been burning for a week. bethany, what is the situation like there this morning? we are told the situation seems to be easing a little bit. overnight we

haven't had very much wind and that has helped the fire crews in their task in trying to keep the fires under control. they haven't quite done that yet but things are a little bit better than they were yesterday. it has been a really tough time for the people on this island, and as well as the official fire crews, we have seen locals, volunteers, getting to the areas where the fires are, taking tractors, any car or vehicle that can carry a tank of water, other people putting little fire extinguishers that you would have in a home or hotel. they have been taking them to where the fires are and using those, trying to do anything they can to put these fires out. people are hoping and praying that this is the beginning of the end, after eight days now of fires raging here on this island of evia.

good to hear a bit of better news, thank you, bethany. some of the biggest names in sport are backing a campaign to make defibrillators mandatory at all schools and sports clubs across the uk. the oliver king foundation has been calling for this for a decade — after 12—year—old oliver king died during a swimming race at school. the issue of defibrillators made headlines again when the danish footballer christian eriksen collapsed during a match at euro 2020. oliver's dad, mark, has been to meet the referee, anthony taylor, who has been praised for his actions during that game. pleasure to meet you today. likewise. i've been here for a couple of hours today and i have listened to a lot of interviews, and i think you have played down your importance, and your role that night on saving christian eriksen's life. you should take credit for the speed and efficiency that you, and the professionalism that you put yourself in that day.

in the unfortunate situation that we found ourselves in in copenhagen, i could tell from where i was that christian was in some serious distress and needed immediate attention. for me, the real heroic actions of people that night were from the danish captain and the medical team, because they are the actual ones who did the compressions, used the defib machine and everything like that. i think in all honesty, if you put any of the 19 referees who are at the euros in the same situation as me, everybody would have reacted in pretty much a similar way. who are at the euros in the same situation as me, everybody would have reacted in pretty much a similar way. a referee in a high—profile tournament, we're focused, we are always aware of looking after player safety. and of course, the most important thing is christian is ok, on the road to recovery and he got the attention that he needed. i think both myself and simon kjaer, the danish captain that night, we both had the view of unfortunately what happened.

and christian was on his own, there was no player near him. and, you know, maybe it was lucky that i have had experience of some similar situations before at a premier league match, and i've also seen situations in my career as a prison officer where people have been in medical distress. and so, obviously it is important for me to use that experience, to react quickly. it's a cool head that's prevented any more, death, basically, on that night. sure. when you listen to the medical team that came across, his doctor said, look, he was dead. his heart wasn't beating. he'd gone into defibrillation. i think that's the important thing for people to remember as well. the speed of response, that's a good thing about the initiative that the premier league have launched today, to get people to understand that the speed of the response can have a significant impact on survival chances. so i think it is, for every minute that you are without compressions

or defibrillation, that decreases the chance of survival by 10% every minute. and so, i think the more education we can get of people, notjust within the sport but outside of sport, is so vital in helping save more peoples lives. you played yourself down as to the most important role that you played on that day. you are calm, and very professional. i for one think you were brilliant. you are very professional. thank you. and you handled the situation as well as you could. thanks, mate, thank you. mark king, from the oliver king foundation, joins us now alongside former liverpool defenderjamie carragher, who has also backed the campaign to make defibrillators mandatory in all uk schools and sports clubs. good morning to you. lovely to see

of the greatest music recordings were created. throughout the years, it has hosted oasis, adele and harry styles but now the general public are being invited in too to take a look round in celebration of its 90th birthday, as victoria hollins reports. music. think of a hollywood blockbuster and there is a good chance its music was recorded here, studio 1 at abbey road. the world's largest recording space and control room is on rare show as part of abbey road's open house. one of my favourite memories is standing up on that balcony up there and seeing a full concert orchestra playing and it was just right in your belly, it was absolutely amazing. isabel garvey and her team cleared the studio's diary for the week of tours. a challenge, because it's usually booked years ahead. you can never get complacent about walking up those steps every morning, coming through those doors. you can kind of feel what's happened before you, musicians and artists that come

through here often talk about that, that they feel the pressure to do their best work because of who has come before them. abbey road was officially opened in 1931 by edward elgar as a classical music studio. but as it expanded, it began attracting musicians from all around the world. this is studio 2, perhaps the most famous of the abbey road studios. and that's partly because it's where the beatles recorded the majority of their music. and it's still hugely in demand today, but the real star of the show sits in the corner. this is the original mrs mills piano made famous in the 60s and used extensively by the beatles. it's among hundreds of items, including recording console and instruments that have shaped music history. strawberry fields forever, take seven. remix from four track. visitors also get to hear the fab four between takes in the studio. i think that was rather grand.

i'd take one home with me. ok, let's track it. also on public show for the first time is studio 3, where amy winehouse fulfilled a lifelong dream, collaborating with her idol, tony bennett. on display, the piano used in this session, one of her last before her death. # i gladly surrender # sadly for fans, the open house week is a one off, making it all the more special. it's been a dream come true, really. studio 2 has got to be the heart of it, really, visualising the beatles there. to be here on the hallowed ground where all of those amazing sounds were created isjust spine tingling. there are 90 years of stories in these walls, but abbey road's iconic status means there will be many more secrets that may never be told.
