good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. our headlines today: soldier yelling: get back, get back! chaos and panic in kabul as thousands crowd the airport, desperate to leave afghanistan. facing a firestorm of criticism, president biden says it's one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history and makes a pledge to us citizens. let me be clear — any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. welfare rules for dogs imported to the uk are to be tightened amid a rise in puppy smuggling.

and in sport. georgia has victory on her mind. former champion georgia hall leads the women's open at the halfway stage. and we get a bit of everything thrown — and we get a bit of everything thrown at us this weekend with some pretty— thrown at us this weekend with some pretty unsettled weather to come for some _ pretty unsettled weather to come for some of— pretty unsettled weather to come for some of us_ pretty unsettled weather to come for some of us today, but something brighter— some of us today, but something brighter on offer tomorrow. i'll be back with — brighter on offer tomorrow. i'll be back with all the details. it's saturday 21st august. our top story: there have been more scenes of chaos at kabul airport as crowds gather in the hope of fleeing taliban—controlled afghanistan. at least 2,400 people have been flown back to the uk so far — most of them uk nationals or those who had assisted british efforts in afghanistan. the government says it's working through the logistics of getting more people to the airport. our afghanistan correspondent, secunder kermani, has this report. soldier yelling: get the (bleep) back! -

get back! panic and chaos close to kabul airport. no, no, no! british soldiers guarding a secure compound for those being evacuated. british passport holders in the crowd, desperately trying to get through. this is my british passport. like this uber driver from west london. he's got kids. we are waiting, i try and—... how long have you been here waiting? i came morning, five o'clock, to still i'm waiting here. in the last three days, i'm trying to go inside... and they won't let you into the hotel? yeah, they won't. even though the embassy has told you to come here? yeah, he said i had to go here! even more distressing scenes at the main entrance to the compound. british soldiers trying to keep the crowd back. this is a scene of total and utter chaos, many of the people here don't have any permission to board an evacuation flight but they're so desperate that they've just turned up here anyway.

that's making it extremely difficult for those who had been told to come here by the british embassy, to get through. my family, my newborn baby. amongst those trapped by the crowd, this former british army interpreter. his wife gave birth just two weeks ago and he's deeply worried about the baby. maybe i lose my kid and maybe she is not good. she's not good, my wife. you can't stay here. i can't stay here, look at the situation, look at the dirt on the floor here. and nobody — until now, i'm here since morning, i came here, taliban lashed me on the back. most of the people here are in a state of total confusion. they don't know how they can, but just want to leave the country before the evacuation flights end. what makes you think you'll be able to travel? this woman says she was a player on the national basketball team.

i'm so scared, because i'm girl. as the day goes on, some of those who are meant to be here eventually get through, including the family with a young baby. many others are still struggling, though. even more who want to leave but can't will be left behind. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. in the us, president biden has admitted the evacuation of americans from afghanistan isn't "without risk of loss". speaking at the white house, he said the us had evacuated 13,000 people to date, and hoped to get everyone home. any american who wants to come home, we will— any american who wants to come home, we will get _ any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. make no mistake. — we will get you home. make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous — mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. it involves risks to armed — dangerous. it involves risks to armed forces and it is being conducted under difficult circumstances. i cannot promise what

by his decision. president biden called this one of the largest and most difficult airlift in history but he's veiled to not only bring americans homed but also the afghans who worked with them —— has vowed. biden said significant progress had been made as far as the evacuation effort was concerned but conceded there had been a pause during the day yesterday. it turns out the pores lasted around seven hours and was caused by a receiving base in qatar being too full to take in any more evacuees. meanwhile, the crush at kabul airport continues and the us today flew three helicopters in to a hotel on the outskirts of the airport to bring in 167 american citizens who basically could not get in because it was so congested at the entrance to kabul airport. the

taliban, the president insists, is continuing to provide safe passage through to americans to the airport, but today the us defence secretary lloyd austin said they were confirms that it confirmed reports that the us citizens had been beaten by the taliban. whether or not the us remarks will dissuade his critics remains to be seen. mr biden's approval rating is currently at its lowest since he took office. david willis there. animal welfare campaigners have welcomed new government proposals to stop puppy smuggling. plans include a ban on the import of dogs with cropped ears or docked tails and raising the minimum age for imported puppies from 15 weeks to six months. frankie mccamley reports. the rspca has been intercepting illegal animal imports. 0peration delfin at the airport was good i missed 100 puppies being smuggled into the uk. many of those illegally

shipped suffer health problems and have not been through proper checks by certified vets. smugglers have also found legal loopholes to transport dogs with doctor tales and cropped years into the country. —— docked. some say that a purely for looks but can cause a lot of pain. when it comes to ear cropping, unfortunately we have seen an increase in demand for dogs with cropped ears lit up and in completely abhorrent you to —— mutilation, it is done purely for looks. we have seen an increase in the use for media, social media influences and celebrities which has led to an increase in demand by the public. led to an increase in demand by the ublic. �* . ., led to an increase in demand by the ublic. ~ . ., , public. animal welfare campaigners have been calling _ public. animal welfare campaigners have been calling on _ public. animal welfare campaigners have been calling on the _ public. animal welfare campaigners l have been calling on the government to clamp down on these practices and introduce measures to deter puppy smugglers. today the government is launching a consultation on new powers to help tackle these issues which include raising the minimum

the department for education said the portable monitors could be used to identify areas where more air—flow is needed. however, the 25 million pound batch of c02 monitors has yet to be fully procured, less than two weeks before many schools return. the family and friends of a missing british woman have sent a letter to the foreign secretary asking for support to help find her. it's been five months since 41—year—old sarm heslop from southampton, disappeared after vanishing from her boyfriend's yacht in the us virgin islands. the foreign office says it is supporting the family and is in contact with police and the us coastguard. the government has rejected a call to issue 10,000 temporary visas to eu workers — to tackle an estimated shortage of 75,000 lorry drivers. logistics uk — the trade body which represents freight businesses — says many restaurants and supermarkets are facing serious supply problems. but ministers say employers should invest in the domestic workforce

rather than rely on foreign labour. the time now is 6:10am. let's return to our main story this morning, the ongoing crisis in afghanistan. let's get an update on the situation from marianne 0'grady, the deputy director for the charity care international in afghanistan. she left kabul earlier this week and joins us now from washington, dc. thank you for your time with us, marianne. what do you know of the situation on the ground? goad situation on the ground? good mornin: , situation on the ground? good morning, thank _ situation on the ground? good morning, thank you _ situation on the ground? good morning, thank you for - situation on the ground? (13cm morning, thank you for having me. we understand it is still quite chaotic at the airport and that the various difficulties trying to assist people to get into the airport where there is great chaos and danger are working on some new strategies to get folks into the airport with

perhaps not having to go through the formal gates, if you well. the helicopters are bringing people in and the un compound to get transported from their safely into the airport. transported from their safely into the airport-— transported from their safely into the airort. . h . , the airport. marianne o'grady, you have worked _ the airport. marianne o'grady, you have worked on _ the airport. marianne o'grady, you have worked on and _ the airport. marianne o'grady, you have worked on and off _ the airport. marianne o'grady, you have worked on and off in - have worked on and off in afghanistan for around 20 years, you are very familiar with the transition and progress that had been made and also how people are feeling right now. tell me about the people who are trying to leave and why. people who are trying to leave and wh . , ., ., ., people who are trying to leave and why. there is a lot of reason why everybody _ why. there is a lot of reason why everybody wants _ why. there is a lot of reason why everybody wants to _ why. there is a lot of reason why everybody wants to start - why. there is a lot of reason why everybody wants to start a - why. there is a lot of reason why everybody wants to start a new l why. there is a lot of reason why l everybody wants to start a new life or get back to the life they had. 0utside or get back to the life they had. outside of afghanistan, it is not an easy decision to make to have to pick up and leave your family and start a new life anywhere in the world, and i think people are thinking about the future of their children, the future of their own family and wanting to make sure that

their children have a new opportunity or a new more expensive opportunity or a new more expensive opportunity outside of afghanistan. tell me about yourjourney, because, obviously you've got the advantage of working with care. but so many people wouldn't have that. what was your journey like after you people wouldn't have that. what was yourjourney like after you left afghanistan? brute yourjourney like after you left afghanistan?— yourjourney like after you left afghanistan? we were in close contact with — afghanistan? we were in close contact with the _ afghanistan? we were in close contact with the various - afghanistan? we were in close - contact with the various embassies of all of the international stuff we have, or had, that are trying to get outside of afghanistan, and working very closely with these embassies to learn when flights were available and when folks can get on them. when it was available they just said and when folks can get on them. when it was available theyjust said head to the airport �*s and to different gates and get yourselves in and we'll take it from there. while that sounds quite simple, getting

yourself to the airport was fine, hanging at the gate trying to get in to the various gates was not an organised or quiet endeavour, it was quite loud and lots of motion and lots of energy — the energy of despair and of worry and of wanting something better. it was so palpable in the air and trying to focus on getting myself and my colleagues through the gate safely while that energy was in the air was really quite hard in that, you know, the work that has been done by care international and many other wonderful ngos over the years and thinking about if we continue on and when it will start back up again because the humanitarian needs are

so vast due to poverty and the drought and the effects of covid on the economy, has been extraordinary, nevermind this recent turn of events and security. so the emotions of myself, of all of the people all squished together and just kind of pushing upwards was pretty intense and you really couldn't avoid being bombarded by the sounds and those feelings that were coming at us. i feelings that were coming at us. i know this is very hard to talk about because of your commitment to the work you've done over the last 20 years. who do you fear is going to be left behind?— years. who do you fear is going to be left behind? people who want to have a future _ be left behind? people who want to have a future that _ be left behind? people who want to have a future that has _ be left behind? people who want to have a future that has been - be left behind? people who want to have a future that has been as - have a future that has been as wonderful as it has been for the

last 20 years. i think that the folks that haven't had connections to be able to go or are interested to be able to go or are interested to stay because they really love their country and they are just worried about the future, the near future and the long—term future, i worry that they will be caught up in feeling hopeless and feeling as if nobody is there to help them to have a future that has been afforded to many people over the last 20 years. thank you for your time with us today. we will stick to this story for another couple of minutes. i think it would be useful to go through the events of the last few days and the events that led to the taliban's takeover of afghanistan.

0n 2july the us military left bagram airfield, its key base, effectively ending its military campaign there. five days later, president biden gave a press conference where he reassured people that the taliban would not take over afghanistan. but over the following weeks, taliban insurgents gained more and more ground. the final blow came last sunday, 15 august, when both jalalabad and kabul fell to the taliban. president biden has received criticism for his response to the afghanistan crisis, but has defended his decision, and promised to bring us nationals home. let's get reaction now from political analyst, eric ham, whojoins us from washington dc. hi, eric. thank you forjoining us, especially because it is the middle of the night where you are. we appreciate you staying up. president biden's speech to the nation last

night, what did you make of it? he is absolutely sticking to this, isn't he? no hint of an apology or an admission that anything is wrong. well, we have to remember who president biden is and how he has felt about this war. we do know that he has certainly authorised the war in both afghanistan and iraq after 9/11, but after the killing of 0sama bin laden, vice—president biden thought it was time for the united states to leave. he did not support the surge at the time when he was vice president and he ran on ending this war in afghanistan, and that is something he did. it is also important to know that back in april 75% of americans believe that the united states needed to get out of afghanistan. what we're seeing here is a president following through his campaign promise. even though right now his approval rating is falling, this is something we are certainly

democrats and president biden are going to run on both in the mid—term elections and possibly in 202a. things are falling at the moment. how is this going down on the streets of america when they see the pictures of the chaos at the airport and they deal with the reality of what leaving means?— and they deal with the reality of what leaving means? well, again, many americans _ what leaving means? well, again, many americans thought - what leaving means? well, again, many americans thought that - what leaving means? well, again, many americans thought that the | many americans thought that the united states had been there too long. not only was this america's longest war, but this was the war that was dubbed the forgotten war because many americans were simply not engaged. even towards the end, you had less than 3000 troops that were on the ground in afghanistan even though the united states was still spending about $2 billion a month in afghanistan. so now people have moved on from this. certainly the images that we are seeing in afghanistan are deeply troubling, this is a war that many americans have moved beyond for quite some time. now that the president has

pulled out and is sticking to his guns on what he believes in terms of the war being over, i think this is going to continue to cause fallout for him politically. but the president will certainly get past this, because again, a day is like a lifetime in politics, especially in a polarised america. you lifetime in politics, especially in a polarised america.— lifetime in politics, especially in a polarised america. you talk about how much it — a polarised america. you talk about how much it means _ a polarised america. you talk about how much it means to _ a polarised america. you talk about how much it means to him, - a polarised america. you talk about how much it means to him, this - how much it means to him, this decision, that this is something that he has wanted to do personally for a very long time, that he has always believed in. does he have the support now of those around him, within his administration? do his key team agree that he has done the right thing? key team agree that he has done the riuahtthin? key team agree that he has done the riaahtthin? key team agree that he has done the riaht thina? ~ ~ key team agree that he has done the riaht thina? ~ ,, .,, right thing? well, i think he has been ill served _ right thing? well, i think he has been ill served by _ right thing? well, i think he has been ill served by his _ right thing? well, i think he has been ill served by his team. - right thing? well, i think he has been ill served by his team. his| been ill served by his team. his national security adviser, jake sullivan, we were all at the white house for his press briefing on monday and he certainly did not serve him well. the administration should have been aware of what was going on and should have planned for this. so there is certainly a hit that the administration is going to take. i think where the president is

actually losing support is with democrat members of congress. we already know that the senate is expecting to call at least three investigative hearings as to what happened when they return from their august recess. so right now what you are seeing is democrats looking to run from the president and also looking to pile on as the images continue to showcase over time. now we are seeing, of course, republicans taking hits as well. so the president is getting fire on all sides, both from within his party as well as from the opposition party. it was striking in that conference he gave last night, he was adamant things are improving at the airport and we are beginning to get things under control. yet moments later, on the us networks, correspondence standing in kabul were saying we are not seeing any improvement. there might have been a moment here or there when things were improving but there when things were improving but the situation is utterly desperate. it seems like there is a bit of a disconnect between the official view of things and the reality on the ground. in of things and the reality on the around. .. ,.,

of things and the reality on the a round. .,. ,., .., of things and the reality on the around. .. y., .. , of things and the reality on the around. , ., ground. in fact, you can see that from many _ ground. in fact, you can see that from many of — ground. in fact, you can see that from many of the _ ground. in fact, you can see that from many of the pentagon - ground. in fact, you can see that - from many of the pentagon briefings that are taking place. 0ne from many of the pentagon briefings that are taking place. one of the things that make the pentagon and the defence department so special is their ability to plan, the ability to think ahead. what we're here is a pentagon, a us military, that seems caught off guard and seems unable to decide how to address the issue of getting all of its people as well as its allies out of the country. while we see the taliban have these checkpoints set up, the issue is how do you get people beyond these checkpoints to the airport? right now the us military is still struggling with that issue. even though the president continues to insist that things are getting better. . ~' , ., , . better. thank you very much indeed, eric. we better. thank you very much indeed, erie we always _ better. thank you very much indeed, eric. we always appreciate _ better. thank you very much indeed, eric. we always appreciate your - eric. we always appreciate your insights here on breakfast. we will have much more analysis throughout the programme. we are with you until ten a.m.. at this point in time we need a fix of 0wain to find out exactly what is happening, because we arejumping on

it will be breezy across southern and south—western parts. still hanging onto some brightness across parts of north—west scotland, aberdeenshire perhaps, and today's top temperatures were nothing too exciting — 20 or 21 celsius will just about do it for today i think. if we have a look at tonight into tomorrow, the weather front continues on its journey. tomorrow, the weather front continues on itsjourney. at tomorrow, the weather front continues on its journey. at this stage it is losing a lot of its energy, a bit like an elastic band. you stretch and it gets thinner, and it was quite misty and murky last night and quite a mild start to the day—to—day. a similar sort of thing tonight, breezy around southern and south—western parts. that will the mist and fog away. another mild one, 14 mist and fog away. another mild one, 1a or 15 celsius below. as we look towards tomorrow, that weather front is now an area of low pressure moving away from us. it is being replaced by a ridge of high pressure. high pressure leads to more settled conditions. this really is when we start to see that change into something brighter that is on

the horizon, as we mentioned earlier. tomorrow we are still seeing some showers, they will get going as we had through the day, and scattered here over the midlands, the north—west of england and scotland as well. but compared to today, we're definitely seeing less rain now on the graphics. 21 or 22 celsius tomorrow's top temperatures for everyone. looking towards monday, the high pressure is now starting to be firmly in charge. high pressure is here. drier, brighter, a bit of sunshine on offer as well. still cloudy with a bit of drizzle across parts of scotland and northern ireland, perhaps, and top temperatures reaching 20, 21 or possibly 22 celsius. the high—pressure sticks around next week and we started drawing something a little bit milder. nothing too exciting. that is how it is looking. let's take a look at today's papers. the crisis in afghanistan continues to dominate the front pages this morning. "we should all hang our heads in shame", says the guardian, which also carries a picture of a baby being handed to a soldier over a barbed wire fence.

"0ur boys' last stand in kabul" is the daily mail's take as it carries a picture of british paratroopers managing crowds at kabul airport. the paper describes scenes of anarchy and anguish and reports that there are fears the rescue mission could collapse. the daily mirror's headline says there is a clear and present danger to the uk in a warning from the former commander of british forces in afghanistan, colonel richard kemp. the paper says security experts are warning of a resurgent al-qaeda, the group which carried out the 9/11 attacks. the daily telegraph quotes us presidentjoe biden saying that we might not get everyone out. the paper says the president has warned lives may be lost in the evacuation amid fears that 100,000 afghans could be left to face taliban reprisals.

we will be bringing you up—to—date with all that is happening in afghanistan, with expert analysis, throughout the programme. of course, we have linda and chris smith with our covid panel, our regular guests. that is at 9:10am. it may feel to some people that the pandemic is almost behind us, especially in the uk as we open up. but there are so many questions about the new rules on how they are working, and questions about second vaccinations, booster vaccinations as well, new approvals. if you have any of those questions, get in touch with us in the usual way, because chris and linda are a reassuring presence. just sums it up at the end of the week. and some new treatments in the last couple of days that i don't really understand. some new antibody treatments, some questions for them about that. on the inside pages of the papers today, we need a smile this morning and this made me smile. adam peaty might be dripping in gold medals but he is shocked by the

6:30am. thank you for “oining us. we will 6:30am. thank you forjoining us. - will get an update on what is happening in the sport and of course wary excited because we have in england golfer leading, helping doing well in the women's open. she is doing very well at the moment. england's georgia hall has already won one women's open and she's on course for another. hall is the joint leader after round two at carnoustie. the 2018 champion is on seven under par at the halfway stage, sharing the lead with american mina harigae. hall recovered from a double bogey on the 15th hole to hold on to thejoint lead. world number one nelly korda — the daughter of former czech tennis player peter korda is three shots behind on four under. very happy with the way i played. i felt like i played better than yesterday — a bit more consistent. managed to hold some good par putts

and birdie putts. gives me confident that i can do it and four days of golf is very long. we still have 36 holes to play but i've given myself the best i can.— holes to play but i've given myself the best i can. georgia hall feeling confident for _ the best i can. georgia hall feeling confident for the _ the best i can. georgia hall feeling confident for the moment. - what about this from dame laura davies. the four—time major champion is now 57 and playing in her 41st women's 0pen but still managed to make the cut. she is in 45th place on the leaderboard. it's the final of the hundred today at lord's for both the men and women. birmingham phoenix will face southern brave after last night's eliminator. the brave bowled out trent rockets forjust 96, tom moores victim of this clever catch on the boundary by craig 0verton. captainjames vince then guided his team to an easy win with an unbeaten 45 as they reached their target with 32 balls to spare.

in the women's hundred the oval invincibles produced a stunning comeback to reach today's final. marizanne kapp smashed this six to help the invincibles to 114. their opponents birmingham phoenix were cruising at 66—2 before tash farrant took four wickets to carry her team to victory. the invincibles face southern brave in the final at lord's this afternoon. the game is live on bbc two. every game we played it sounded louder and louder. i think it has exceeded every body's expectations and i think the women's game is going to get strength to strength was not this is the level we need to keep at now. the second round of matches in the new premier league season starts with liverpool against burnley this lunchtime. anfield will be full for the first time in 18 months for a fixture which burnley won last season in an empty stadium. and it seems as if liverpool boss jurgen klopp has been counting down

to this moment. 0ur our first 0urfirst home our first home came 0urfirst home came in front our first home came in front of a crowd in so many days, i think, and i want to enjoy that and football is only possible to enjoy when you play in a positive way, when you just go for it. there are no guarantees out there, not at all, especially against burnley. swansea city have their first win of the championship season after they beat bristol city 1—0 last night. dutch strikerjoel piroe scoring the first half winner to also give russell martin his first win since taking over as swansea boss. bristol city havent won at home since january — that's 12 games —

an unwanted club record. st helens eased to a derby win over wigan warriors in super league. saints ran in four tries including this flowing move finished by mark percival as they ran out 26—2 winners over their rivals. saints stay second in the table. told derby later. that is all your sport for now. —— hull derby. is unlike you ghosn do have some drama. —— unlike you, 0wain. look unlike you ghosn do have some drama. -- unlike you, 0wain.— -- unlike you, owain. look at this. alderman — -- unlike you, owain. look at this. alderman -- _ -- unlike you, owain. look at this. alderman -- almost _ -- unlike you, owain. look at this. alderman -- almost like _ -- unlike you, owain. look at this. alderman -- almost like audience | alderman —— almost like audience interaction! hello, everyone. many of us will see brightness over the weekend but i think the majority we will probably have to wait for it because tomorrow on balance is looking like a better day and we are likely to see some pretty heavy rain

along with thunderstorms. some will be slow—moving generating a lot of rainfall within a space of time but then tomorrow we will see more sunny spells, still showers around but hopefully less rain. the rain is a product. it has brought heavy rain already to parts of the south—west of england, parts of south wales, northern ireland, there it is. this is moving very slowly towards the east and because of its speed, if you like, the rain will stick around in places. but behind it you can see, brightening up across parts of wales, the south—west of england, and also ahead of it where we are still seeing some brightness this morning and i think we will continue to do so when we had through the afternoon was breezy across the southwest and today's top temperatures were nothing too exciting — 21 celsius at best, i think. looking towards the seasoning, the weather front continues on its journey, seasoning, the weather front continues on itsjourney, again moving away from the west, introducing further spells of rain, up introducing further spells of rain, up through the midlands, parts of scotland and also into the

south—east but showers continuing across parts of scotland and down through the midlands and north of england as well. lowe's tonight about 14 or 15 celsius. tomorrow will be the better day and the reason for this is we have high pressure as opposed to weather fronts and low pressure. this is slowly building and will influence our weather over the last —— next couple of days as we cast an eye on the coming week. but tomorrow, some rain initially across eastern parts and that leaves us and it is a mixture of right sunny spells and scattered showers. the showers will tend to get going as we had through the day. i don't think we will see quite as many as we are in today but they are urgently bad and i don't they are urgently bad and i don't the top temperatures, cooler across scotland and the northern isles. a fair bit of cloud hanging around as well through the date stop on monday the high pressure is still with us and it has more of an influence on our weather, and it has more of an influence on ourweather, dryer, right today, drizzle of cloud here and there and

if we zoom out and look at the big picture, high pressure takes charge. this is the wind direction so warmer air through the south but temperatures will rise a bit. that is how it is looking. time is 6:37am and now it is click with spencer kelly. this week, another chance to see our race to space, where we hit the road, built a house and, shh... whispers: ..locked up some astronauts.

jump on in. thank you. so you're not using the steering wheel at all? you're using a... oh, wow! laughter. which way are we going? which way are we going! i'm at nasa in houston where lucienjunkin is taking me for a spin. using both a steering wheel and a joystick, you can point this vehicle in one direction and drive it in another. you feel the forces in your tailbone. oh, i can feel the forces in my tailbone! laughter. and if that seems really confusing, well, it is. but this is drive—by—wire technology, which means the onboard computer works out which way you want to go,

and then calculates what to do with the wheels. all right, so, we'll just go this way... this is just one of many experiments into how we might live, work and drive on the moon or mars. although this vehicle may also pave the way for smarter cars in smarter cities back down here on earth, where i have to say, parking may be one of the coolest things you get to do. no way! come on, man. but before we start driving around celestial bodies, we need to get there first. in the days of the moon landings, only two competing countries were locked in battle, driving space exploration forward. now, in the race back to space, the power�*s shifting. china's chang'e—4 probe was the first spacecraft to land on the far side of the moon.

and europe, india and japan are all pushing forward with their own space programs. back in the us, nasa plans to get back to the moon by 2024, but now it has competition from private individuals — an idea that would have been laughable 50 years ago. rival billionaires elon musk, founder of spacex, and jeff bezos, who owns blue 0rigin, are racing to populate the moon and mars. but what kind of person would actually be on these spacecraft? the first people to go to mars will be risk—taking adventurers accepting that they may have one—way tickets or have a small chance of return, and they will be probably financed or sponsored by one of these private companies. at nasa, we discovered a little—known department where these risk—taking adventurers live. right now, there are four astronauts inside a spacecraft on a mission to phobos,

one of mars's two moons. whispers: but they're actually in there. yes, in this tiny habitat, volunteers are locked away for 45 days on a simulated mission, with cameras and scientists monitoring their every move. this is nasa's human exploration research analog — hera for short.

inside the module, the crew is poked and prodded in different psychological experiments, from sleep deprivation to diminished privacy, all to fine—tune a critical component that could make or break any future mission to mars — the humans inside the spacecraft. the primary purpose of hera is to learn about the effects of isolation and confinement on people. so a lot of the studies that we do are behavioural or psychological in nature, looking at the type of isolation from people. so you're really only talking to or in contact with the other crew members that are in the vehicle with you or mission control that's supporting you. yeah, astronauts on future missions to mars have more to worry about than the toxic soil, the deadly atmosphere and high levels of radiation. they also have to worry about each other. and it's hard to say which of these would be more likely to result

in someone's death. and it's consistent, low—level stress over time. little things start to grate on you because the stress kind of heightens how you react to the things around you. so the sound of somebody chewing the cereal next to you might be fine at first. and then 45 days later, you really, really don't like that sound. even for an astronaut, the psychological demands of a journey to mars will be extraordinary. the spacecraft will only be the size of a small flat, and the round—trip will take almost three years. add in four different personalities cooped up together and you may run into some problems. and with a range of characters needed, you never know who you could end up with.

the habitat and workload are designed to mimic a real mission as closely as possible. and nasa's scientists throw in lots of elements to try and ensure that the volunteers forget that they're actually part of an experiment. if mcc talks to the crew, they ask a question, it takes five minutes to get to the crew, and then they answer, it takes five minutes to get back. so a ten—minute round—trip for a question and answer. so the whole idea of creating a mission scenario, you're going to phobos and you're,

you know, you're going to do an eva, you're going to pilot a small spacecraft to the surface. you know, all that keeps them really excited and engaged in the simulation. the goal here is notjust to study the effects of isolation and confinement, but also to work out how to put together the perfect team for extreme space travel. it's all about the mix. and that's one of the things that we're looking at, is what is that right mix? 0r given the particular mix of people, you know, you have, let's say, one strong personality and three less strong personalities, what would we expect that to play out like? so what kind of roles do you need to have a successful team for a space mission? and they were looking notjust at the functional roles, you know, a commander ora medic, an engineer, but they're also looking at the social roles and found that those were just as, if not more important for those long—duration missions, having somebody that's providing humour or entertainment for the crew, that's way more important. and it won'tjust be

down to humans to decide what the right social mix would be. masses of data is generated from these experiments, making successful social interactions quantifiable. one of the research studies that's actually going on is looking at a way to get a little bit ahead of the personality problem by developing an algorithm where you can take the background information on an individual�*s personality tests, that sort of information, plug it into the system, and based on the characteristics of all the people that you're putting in that team, figure out how they're going to work together, whether it's the right mix of people. unlike these potential martian voyages, we may think that three years in isolation is a bit bonkers. however, from jeff bezos to buzz aldrin, many are dreaming of trips to, and even living on, the red planet. but lord martin rees, britain's astronomer royal, doesn't actually think that

most of us are suited to space. nowhere in the solar system anywhere is as comfortable as the top of everest or the south pole. and so that's why i think the idea of mass emigration is a bit crazy. we have to bear in mind that space is not a place for human beings, except for adventurers, the kind of people who do go to the south pole and top of everest. what do the hera crew think about the experiment? well, we caught up with them, unsurprisingly out in the fresh air, shortly after they left the habitat. you know, we're all very similar. if we had one very extroverted person, maybe a strong personality that was slightly different than the group, that might have negatively affected the outcome. if you put four extroverts in there together, they're going to drive each other crazy eventually. maybe four introverts aren't going to be able to come together as a team as much, because they're more

inwardly focused. you want a good blend of people, who are adaptable to not only the situation, but to each other's personalities. you have a mission to mars. the goal is so huge that you're extremely motivated. - i mean, the aim of the analog is to be one step closer- to put humans on mars. i can barely imagine - being in such a situation. your motivation is so huge, i think that even you can i overcome anything. this is how the apollo astronauts got about on the moon. seems pretty racy, even by today's standards, but the next time we go to the moon and mars, our vehicles will look a bit more like this.

with six wheels, all of which can turn independently, this is the latest nasa prototype of the vehicle that could be crawling over the lunar surface very soon. so we're designing the next vehicle, and the next vehicle goes up in 2023. it's pretty aggressive. we love it. it's like apollo. to make the drive as safe as possible. the active suspension keeps equal pressure on each wheel at all times, and that means you can cover some pretty extreme terrain. oh, my word. are we about to go down that? we can if you like. i would like. it's not worth it. it's not worth the enjoyment. i have children at home! my goodness! this vehicle is already being used to test the practicalities of future moon missions. four astronauts take two vehicles out for two weeks

at a time, living and working on board, to work out the amount of food they'll need and the kind of living conditions they can expect. by the way, we're on a slight incline right now. laughter. so what i can do is i can actually put my head in this little bubble here and i can investigate the rock, which is a great design feature. all right. i'm examining lunar rocks. it's like a glass—bottom boat. progress across the terrain will be slow and steady, because this will be a really harsh environment. and moondust is pretty rough. yeah, it's really sharp. those are things that we definitely know from apollo. think of taking a glass and just slamming it down and then crushing it with your feet, and those

shards are kind of how it is on the moon since there's no erosion or wind to tumble those little pieces. and that's one of the reasons we're pushing to have suit ports with the spacesuits on the outside of the vehicle. so at the end of these beds back here, there's a door to the vehicle. so you open the door to the vehicle and you're now staring at the back of your suit, and you climb into the back. so now your suit and your cabin are pressurized. you seal it up and then you close the cabin door, so you can go climb in a spacesuit while i stay in here and we don't have to depressurize the cabin. and that means all of the moondust that collects on the spacesuit never gets into our atmosphere. the whole suit stays on the outside of the vehicle. yeah. that's genius. mind you, moondust may

have its uses as a building material, and that's something that lara lewington's been investigating at the european space agency in the netherlands. this structure has been 3d—printed using a combination of elements that could be found on earth that replicate the qualities of moondust. and that means that things can be tried here before actually being attempted on the surface of the moon. and the hope is that one day creating something like this, inhabitable by humans, could be possible. this moon regolith, or simulant, is hoped to be able to create an inhabitable structure that's temperate and can block radiation. well, you have actually the powder in a layer, and then you spray with a nozzle the binder material. the binder material here was an inorganic salt water, and then it comes to a chemical reaction like concrete, if you like, and you build more or less a solid structure, layer by layer.

this substance isn't quite perfect, though. so at some point, testing on the real, precious moondust needs to happen. but 30 printing on the moon could go beyond putting a roof over astronauts' heads. we can print polymers, metals, ceramic materials. and you could print food. you can print stem cells for medical applications. there's almost no limit of what you could not print. and even more important, what you can do is you can recycle. so you could actually then have a very sustainable operation by reusing stuff we have used for other purposes before. so a robotic version of this 30 printer could make use not only of substances found on the lunar surface, but also raw materials transported there in as low a volume as possible.

exploration in the past has always been about taking everything you can with you wherever you go. now, this is possible, but it's very expensive. it's very difficult to do. so what we're looking at now is, in the longer term, we want to make exploration sustainable and permanent. 0xygen, for example, is something that we need on the moon for propulsion, for rocket fuel and for breathing. we can get that out of ice at the lunar poles and from lunar rocks, which are made of about 40% oxygen. we're also left with metals, and those metals can be used to make equipment, make materials. the moon is also the only place we can go, three days away, to start to understand what it means to live and work away from the earth. so if we want to learn how to use resources locally and in a responsible and clever way to prepare us for going on to mars and elsewhere, the moon is where we have to do it. of course, this won't happen tomorrow. but technological advancement is starting to push forward the possibilities of learning

more about the moon, followed by mars and beyond. that was lara at esa. back at nasa, i've been meeting one of the semi—autonomous robots which may be sent to help build, and then maintain, our living quarters in preparation for our arrival. this is valkyrie. the robot is...? the robot is currently there. that's where you want it to go. yeah. and then you just ask the robot — plan a path to get there. and using its information about its environment, it plans its footsteps uniquely, figures out where to step safely to get across this debris field. controlling robots at a distance means that the operator needs the robot to handle the fine detail of its environment. after being told where to go and what to do, valkyrie analyses the terrain and works out for itself where to step and where to put its hands.

also, there are a variety of applications here on earth for putting a robot in a place that really needs the human hands, the human shape. here goes. getting in the pick—up truck on the moon. david mastin, chief technology officer. the reason i started this company was so that i could go walk on the moon. you've gotten the new solar lights and rewired those. we did. mastin is delivering payloads to the surface of the moon. we'll buy a big rocket launch, we'll then have our vehicle navigate the rest of the way to the moon, put it on the surface, and then that soft landing then has your payload right there on the surface. i started this company

for a number of reasons. the major reason was the idea that i think we could do better than we had been doing in aerospace. looking at stuff that i'd done in the automotive industry, bringing the methodologies that we started developing in the silicon valley. we have a bunch of spare cryogenic valves sitting over there, we just grab one and turn it into a methane tank. mastin right now is about 15 people full time, majority of them engineers, that are both designing and installing and turning wrenches and flying, and the majority of the team is based here in mojave. throw away everything that's just nice to have but not required. we're one of the few companies that was awarded a master contract by nasa for delivery of payloads to the surface of the moon.

this is all—inclusive, it's lab—to—surface. the biggest thing for competition with spacex, blue 0rigin, other billionaires, is to find other niches in the marketplace. you know, stay away from the big, huge launch vehicles, stay away from human—landing vehicles for the time being. until we can get into a much better situation where we could possibly stand toe—to—toe with a billionaire who doesn't care how many billions he throws at the project. the answer of why go now is that we have reached the inflection point where the ecosystem is able to offer us access to the moon at a price point that is reasonable to unlock the potential that exists on the moon.

six, five, four... when are we looking to land on the moon? as early as 2022. whispers: and i'm afraid that's it for our mini—exploration of space. these folk have a few more days to go yet, i have to say. i hope you've enjoyed the journey. it's been fascinating, hasn't it? and if you have any comments, get in touch — we're on social media on youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter, @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. 0ur headlines today: soldier yelling: get back, get back! chaos and panic in kabul as thousands crowd the airport, desperate to leave afghanistan. facing a firestorm of criticism, president biden says it's one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history and makes a pledge to us citizens. let me be clear — any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. welfare rules for dogs imported to the uk are to be tightened amid a rise in puppy smuggling. the snp and the scottish greens have agreed to work in a formal partnership at holyrood, putting the greens into power for the first time in the uk.

we speak its co—leader. looking to win her second major — former champion georgia hall leads the women's open at the halfway stage. and we warm up for the start of the paralympics with mike and his strictly co—star — paralympics gb table—tennis player, will bayley. some unsettled weather for some of us but brighter weather with some of us but brighter weather with some of us tomorrow. i will be back all the details. ~., it's saturday 21st august. our top story: there have been more scenes of chaos at kabul airport as crowds gather in the hope of fleeing taliban—controlled afghanistan. at least 2,400 people have been flown back to the uk so far — most of them uk nationals or those who had assisted british efforts in afghanistan. the government says it's working through the logistics of getting more people to the airport.

0ur afghanistan correspondent, secunder kermani, has this report from the ground. soldier yelling: get the (bleep) back! - get back! panic and chaos close to kabul airport. no, no, no! british soldiers guarding a secure compound for those being evacuated. british passport holders in the crowd, desperately trying to get through. this is my british passport. like this uber driver from west london. he's got kids. we are waiting, i try and—... how long have you been here waiting? i came morning, five o'clock, to still i'm waiting here. in the last three days, i'm trying to go inside... and they won't let you into the hotel? yeah, they won't. even though the embassy has told you to come here? yeah, he said i had to go here! even more distressing scenes at the main entrance to the compound.

british soldiers trying to keep the crowd back. this is a scene of total and utter chaos, many of the people here don't have any permission to board an evacuation flight but they're so desperate that they've just turned up here anyway. that's making it extremely difficult for those who had been told to come here by the british embassy, to get through. my family, my newborn baby. amongst those trapped by the crowd, this former british army interpreter. his wife gave birth just two weeks ago and he's deeply worried about the baby. maybe i lose my kid and maybe she is not good. she's not good, my wife. you can't stay here. i can't stay here, look at the situation, look at the dirt on the floor here. and nobody — until now, i'm here since morning, i came here, taliban lashed me on the back. most of the people here are in

a state of total confusion. they don't know how they can, but just want to leave the country before the evacuation flights end. what makes you think you'll be able to travel? this woman says she was a player on the national basketball team. i'm so scared, because i'm girl. as the day goes on, some of those who are meant to be here eventually get through, including the family with a young baby. many others are still struggling, though. even more who want to leave but can't will be left behind. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. in the united states, president biden has admitted the evacuation of americans from afghanistan isn't "without risk of loss". speaking at the white house, he said the military had evacuated 13,000 people to date, and hoped to get everyone home. any american who wants to come home,

we will get you home. make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. it involves risks to our armed forces and it's being conducted under difficult circumstances. i cannot promise what the final outcome will be, or what it will be, that it will be without risk of loss. but as commander—in—chief, i can assure you that i will mobilise every resource necessary. the past week has been heartbreaking. we've seen gut wrenching images of panicked people acting out of sheer desperation. you know, it's completely understandable — they're frightened, they're sad, uncertain what happens next. i don't think anyone, i don't think any one of us can see these pictures and not feel that pain on a human level. now we have a mission, a mission

to complete in afghanistan. president biden also insisted his country's credibility had not been damaged by the events of the past week. he's faced criticism for misjudging the situation in afghanistan, and failing to anticipate the speed of the taliban's takeover. here's our us correspondent, david willis. president biden called this one of the largest and most difficult airlifts in history but he's vowed to not only bring americans home but also the afghans who worked with them. president biden said significant progress had been made as far as the evacuation effort was concerned but he conceded there had been a pause during the day yesterday, and it turns out the pause lasted around seven hours and was caused by a receiving base in qatar being too full to take in any more evacuees. meanwhile, the crush at kabul airport continues and the us today flew three chinook helicopters in to a hotel on the outskirts

of the airport to bring in 167 american citizens who basically couldn't get in because it was so congested at the entrance to kabul airport. the taliban, the president insists, is continuing to provide safe passage for americans through to the airport, but today the us defence secretary lloyd austin confirmed that there were reports that americans had been beaten in some cases by the taliban. whether the president's latest remarks will sway his critics remains to be seen. his approval rating is currently at its lowest since he took office. david willis on the situation and the response in the united states. meanwhile, here, the prime minister says he "absolutely" has confidence in the foreign secretary, dominic raab, who's come underfire for his handling of the crisis in afghanistan. here's how events unfolded. on friday, mr raab was advised

to call the afghan foreign minister. he was on holiday in crete. he says the call was delegated to a junior minister because he was "prioritising security and capacity at the airport on the direct advice of the director and the director general overseeing the crisis response". on saturday, the taliban reached the outskirts of kabul — the foreign secretary was still on holiday. by now no call was made. the government says that was down to the rapidly deteriorating situation. on sunday, the taliban took kabul. the prime minister chaired a cobra meeting and the foreign secretary flew back from holiday. 0ur political correspondent ione wells joins us now. ione, the prime minister says he has confidence in mr raab,

but the foreign secretary is still facing criticism. is it over, do you think? there are questions — is it over, do you think? there are questions for _ is it over, do you think? there are questions for dominic _ is it over, do you think? there are questions for dominic raab - is it over, do you think? there are questions for dominic raab and i is it over, do you think? there are| questions for dominic raab and the uk government. the prime minister said he does have confidence in the foreign secretary and that comes after the two reports, the first of which that he delegated this key phone call that he was advised to make on tuesday to a junior minister and then the further reports of that call was never made. he defended his position saying he was prioritising security and capacity at the airport and that the call wasn't made because even though it was agreed to by the afghan foreign minister, he couldn't take it because of the deteriorating situation there. there are definitely wider questions. firstly, was he doing everything he could to respond to this crisis went as we have heard he was still in holiday in crete spotted on the beach. secondly, there is the question of even if the one phone call as suggested by the armed

forces, wouldn't have necessarily change the trajectory of how the crisis played out, should he have been on the phone call to people like his afghan pack —— afghan counterpart sooner? that talks about the preparedness of the uk for this crisis when we knew that afghanistan was going to see troops withdraw earlier this year and we knew that earlier this year and we knew that earlier this year and we knew that earlier this summer uk citizens were already being asked to leave and then finally i think there is a question for the foreign secretary about why some of his own staff in the foreign office have been briefing against him to newspapers as well as obviously conservative mps and the opposition criticising some of his response to this crisis as well. . ~ some of his response to this crisis as well. ., «a , ., some of his response to this crisis as well. . ~' , ., , some of his response to this crisis as well. ., «a y., , . tomorrow marks a week since the taliban retook the capital, kabul, in an operation that appeared to blindside many international leaders with its speed and scale. ros atkins has been looking back at the events that lead to the taliban's return to power.

the taliban is in control of the afghanistan. the country's president has fled and western countries are scrambling to get people out. and this took the us by surprise. i did this took the us by surprise. i did not and this took the us by surprise. i did rrot and nor _ this took the us by surprise. i did not and nor did _ this took the us by surprise. i c c not and nor did anyone else see a collapse of an army that size in 11 days. collapse of an army that size in 11 da s. �* . �* , collapse of an army that size in 11 da 5. �* ., �* , ., collapse of an army that size in 11 das. ., days. but that's what happened. across the _ days. but that's what happened. across the next _ days. but that's what happened. across the next few _ days. but that's what happened. across the next few minutes, i days. but that's what happened. l across the next few minutes, let's go through how, after 20 years of war, this unfolded so quickly. afghanistan is a country of 48 million. if chairs lengthy borders with iran, pakistan and in 2001, us led, removed the country's leader. it was allowed to use the country as a base but with the taliban out of power, and elected government followed. but the taliban didn't go away. years of fighting followed, tens of thousands of afghan troops, militants and civilians died, as did thousands from the us led coalition.

in 2020, after direct talks between the taliban and the trump administration, a deal was done. the taliban would not attack us troops, the us committed to leave. and in april, add new president, joe biden, recommitted to that withdrawal. i concluded that it is time to end america's longest war. it is time for american troops to come home. and while america's nato allies expressed concern, they concluded with the americans going, they had to, too. and so the withdrawal gathered pace. by the lie, a symbolic moment stop by grumman airbase, an essential facility to the us led operation in afghanistan and onjuly the the us led operation in afghanistan and on july the fifth the us led operation in afghanistan and onjuly the fifth in the middle of the night, the americans left by graham for good without telling the bases afghan commander. —— president biden was asked to announce the risks he was taking a week later.

story. it showed us us intelligence which revealed that kabul could fall to the taliban within 90 days. but the next the white house spokesperson, jen psaki, resisted the idea that the taliban's momentum was unstoppable. late the idea that the taliban's momentum was unstoppable-— was unstoppable. we are closely watchina was unstoppable. we are closely watching the _ was unstoppable. we are closely watching the deteriorating - watching the deteriorating conditions in parts of the country but no particular outcome, in our view, is inevitable. so but no particular outcome, in our view, is inevitable.— view, is inevitable. so nothing is inevitable. _ view, is inevitable. so nothing is inevitable, said _ view, is inevitable. so nothing is inevitable, said jen _ view, is inevitable. so nothing is inevitable, said jen psaki. - view, is inevitable. so nothing is inevitable, said jen psaki. no . inevitable, said jen psaki. no regrets, said joe biden. and if that intelligence assessments at all could be lost in 90 days, it was to take far less than that. on the same dayjen psaki was saying a taliban victory was not inevitable, the afghan president was trying to show as much. he travelled to a besieged city, and whatever boost he was hoping for, this was undercut by the surrender of hundreds of afghan soldiers in nearby kunduz, because afghans knew what kunduz meant. it the taliban could make it kunduz maybe they could make it a kabul, and that in itself is a big fear.

after this, others clung to the fuselage. hours afterthis, president others clung to the fuselage. hours after this, president biden addressed americans and he refused to accept mistakes had been made. i stand squarely behind my decision. after 20 years, i have learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw us forces. that hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw us forces.— time to withdraw us forces. that was monda the time to withdraw us forces. that was monday the 16th. _ time to withdraw us forces. that was monday the 16th. on _ time to withdraw us forces. that was monday the 16th. on tuesday - time to withdraw us forces. that was monday the 16th. on tuesday the i monday the 16th. on tuesday the 17th, the taliban gave a press conference and made its case. translation: it is very understandable the international community is expressing worries about the security and about afghanistan. but i reassure all internationals the, the un, all embassies, to all our neighbours, that we will not be allowing the soil of afghanistan to be used against anybody.— soil of afghanistan to be used aaainstan bod. ., . , against anybody. those reassurances ran a against anybody. those reassurances rana hollow against anybody. those reassurances rang hollow for _ against anybody. those reassurances rang hollow for many _ against anybody. those reassurances rang hollow for many and _ against anybody. those reassurances rang hollow for many and there i against anybody. those reassurances rang hollow for many and there was i rang hollow for many and there was growing fury that the taliban should even be in a position to offer them. on wednesday we heard some of that fury as the house of commons was

outcome after 20 years, billions of dollars and thousands of lives lost. that was ros atkins looking back at the events that led to the taliban's return to power in afghanistan after 20 years. let's take a look now at the situation on the ground. we're joined from kabul by payvand seyedali, an education consultant and former swedish committee advisor. thank you very much forjoining us here and breakfast. can you tell us what you are witnessing at this moment in time? we what you are witnessing at this moment in time?— what you are witnessing at this moment in time? we are still in a state of suspension _ moment in time? we are still in a state of suspension here - moment in time? we are still in a state of suspension here in i moment in time? we are still in a | state of suspension here in kabul. life was supposed to restart today with the orders for banks and shops to reopen. they have reopened today. not banks, stores have. but as i understand, i haven't gone out yet today, it is still quite empty out

an ongoing attempt for people to get their feet on the ground, to sort out how they can work, how they can make money, when the banks reopen. what is afghanistan going to look like? what will the cost of food be? who is going to be able to afford to eat? it is quite scary looking at the potential for this crisis to balloon, and i can only hope. we don't know. i can only hope that there are very serious, high—level, mid—level conversations going on around how we take pre—emptive action to safeguard against some of these very predictable catastrophes. thank you so much for talking to us today. ’5 thank you so much for talking to us toda . �* ,, xii ., thank you so much for talking to us toda . �* ,, ,': i: ., thank you so much for talking to us toda , i ,, [iii ., ., today.

and the scottish greens have confirmed a power—sharing agreement. it's the first time the green party are in government anywhere in the uk. so what will be on the agenda? we can speak now to scottish green co—leader, patrick harvie. good morning to you. there is some confusion over what this arrangement is. it looks like a coalition but we're being told it is not a coalition. what is it. when the first minister _ coalition. what is it. when the first minister approached i coalition. what is it. when the first minister approached us i coalition. what is it. when the i first minister approached us and askedif first minister approached us and asked if we wanted to talk about some kind of political cooperation arrangement, we reached out to seven other —— several other green parties around the world and we were particularly interested in the arrangement in new zealand. in that situation, the greens are in a cooperation agreement with the labour party and they have a couple of ministers, they lead on some policy areas so they have a greed areas they work together on but they areas they work together on but they are continuing to oppose the government on other issues. and that

was our starting point. what we have reached is a fairly wrought cooperation platform to share a policy programme that is very ambitious that will help get scotland back on track with its climate targets and achieve a great deal of social and environmental change but we also have a large number of areas where we are not yet agreed. we will try to work cooperatively and reach agreement and we have processes to do that but ultimately we will continue to oppose the government on a number of issues. i think that is the responsible way for political parties to operate, is to try to find common ground, try to see what they can achieve, and particularly at this time when the world has just been given a code red warning on climate change and just before the global climate conference comes here to glasgow, i think this is a most important moment that the greens could possibly have to enter government, to take to ministerial roles and lead on a transformational policy agenda. hf

investment in our railways, nature recovery bill, there is a huge amount of positive change that will be achieved in this cooperation agreement. but be achieved in this cooperation agreement-— be achieved in this cooperation aareement. �* ., ., , , agreement. but also a possibility the prospect _ agreement. but also a possibility the prospect of— agreement. but also a possibility the prospect of division - agreement. but also a possibility the prospect of division with i agreement. but also a possibility the prospect of division with the | the prospect of division with the snp on key issues. just thinking in the next few weeks we will get a decision on the camo oilfields, aren't we, and there is the potential, it is not explicit yet, it wasn't mentioned in the draft agreement, potentialfor real conflict there with the people you are going into power with. if conflict there with the people you are going into power with.- are going into power with. if that decision was _ are going into power with. if that decision was a _ are going into power with. if that decision was a matter _ are going into power with. if that decision was a matter for - are going into power with. if that decision was a matter for the i decision was a matter for the scottish government it might well have been much more difficult to reach this agreement that if the snp hadn't also changed their position on oil and gas, i think it would have been impossible for us to sit down around the table with them. they have now recognised that we can't continue extracting oil and gas forever. every political party is going to have to recognise that, every political party other than the

greens have been committed to maximum extraction, drill for every drop you can get, that cannot go on, because we have far more of the stuff and we can afford to burn. the snp have begun that change. i think thatis snp have begun that change. i think that is welcomed. it is not the end of the journey for them but a decision that uk government will make and it is agreed that the oilfield will be agreed. if the party members of proof this agreement and it will be for them to decide a week today, if they approve this agreement, it will signal not just the beginning of a fundamental shift in scotland's political landscape away from the attachment to the oil and gas industry is also a commitment to invest in the alternatives. we're not willing to abandon the communities that have been dependent on oil and gas, we want to invest in the alternative

industries that will provide jobs and prosperity that will genuinely last without destroying the planet. you want to see climate and green policies at the heart of this agreement, your commitment, though, with the snp to hold another independence referendum, do you worry that that is going to dominate this political term and wants to dominate the stuff you want to do on climate, that that might become the overriding issue again? the question of independence _ overriding issue again? the question of independence is _ overriding issue again? the question of independence is already _ overriding issue again? the question of independence is already a - of independence is already a prominent and you might say dominant issue in scotland. it isn't going away because the people of scotland have repeatedly voted for parliaments with the majority for independence and the uk government if it is democratic needs to respect that position. you know, if you wanted us to be able to take the decision on issues like the oilfield, if we want to be able to do even more transformational change in our economy and also to take a

seat at the world table when we debate issues like climate change on the world stage, independence is the way to achieve that, it is also the way to achieve that, it is also the way to achieve that, it is also the way to protect scotland against really harmful decisions that are being taken at uk level, the eminent cut to universal credit which is going to plunge so many families in deposit —— into poverty. there are obviously those who will take a different view but i think it is fundamental that the people of scotland are the ones who have the right to make that choice.— right to make that choice. patrick harvie, coleader_ right to make that choice. patrick harvie, coleader of _ right to make that choice. patrick harvie, coleader of the _ right to make that choice. patrick harvie, coleader of the scottish l harvie, coleader of the scottish greens, thanks forjoining us this morning. chetan's here with the sport. it is getting fruity in the gulf, isn't it? it it is getting fruity in the gulf, isn't it? . . , , isn't it? it certainly is, especially _ isn't it? it certainly is, especially for - isn't it? it certainly is, especially for georgia | isn't it? it certainly is, i especially for georgia hall. england's georgia hall has already won one women's open and she's on course for another. hall is thejoint leader after round two at carnoustie. the 2018 champion is on seven under par at the halfway stage, sharing the lead with

american mina harigae. hall recovered from a double bogey on the 15th hole to hold on to the joint lead.world number one nelly korda — the daughter of former czech tennis player petr korda is three shots behind on four under. but it's hall enjoying the home support. it means the world. i don't get it often and maybe one or two tournaments a year. it is so nice. i had this little boy following me around, kept chanting my name out, it was so cute. hopefully i see lots more of them tomorrow. georgia hall on her push for victory. what about this from veteran laura davies. the four—time major champion is now 57 and playing in her 41st women's open but still managed to make the cut. she is in 45th place on the leaderboard. it's the final of the hundred today at lord's for both the men and women. birmingham phoenix will face southern brave after last night's eliminator. the brave bowled out trent rockets forjust 96, tom moores victim of this clever catch on the boundary by craig 0verton. captainjames vince then guided his team to an easy victory with an unbeaten 45 as they reached their target with 32 balls to spare.

bowler george garton was the match hero. true that we got off to a slow start stop but that fills an age ago now, people don't really remember the first game. in the short format it is about getting on the role and winning is a habit. we have seen that. and yeah, in the final so very happy. in the women's hundred the oval invincibles produced a stunning comeback to reach today's final. marizanne kapp smashed this six to help the invincibles to 114. their opponents birmingham phoenix were crusing at 66—2 before tash farrant took four wickets to carry her team to victory. the invincibles face southern brave in the final at lord's this afternoon. the game is live on bbc two. one of the gold medal hopes for paralympics gb is world number one and reigning champion will bayley in the table tennis.

through the day. this is where the front will wriggle around across the uk today and in doing so, the weather it brings, the rain rings, will often be slow—moving. we will see heavy downpours and then behind this across parts of south wales, the south—west of england, for example, parts of northern ireland, we will see thunderstorms developing them. but ahead of this, it is quite a complicated story. ahead of this it is still brighter. it will be quite easy across southern and south—western parts and i think today's top temperatures more than likely reaching about 21 or 22 celsius. much cooler and much cloudier across the northern isles. moving through towards this evening, the weather front is on the move and moving towards the east. something drier behind it not completely dry story. further heavy, potentially torrential downpours will follow behind that weather front. it was quite misty and murky last night. we will still see a bit of that tonight, i think, will still see a bit of that tonight, ithink, and will still see a bit of that tonight, i think, and temperatures down to 13 or 1a celsius. probably not quite as muggy. first thing tomorrow morning we will start to

feel the influence of this area of high pressure as that low and those weather fronts continue to move away from us. where they are. that means we should seymour in the way of the drier weather tomorrow. not completely dry, though. we will still see the showers as we head into the afternoon. top temperatures tomorrow about 22 celsius. then over the next couple of days high pressure builds, we should see more of that drier and brighter weather. that is how it is looking.— of that drier and brighter weather. that is how it is looking. summer is back. goodness _ that is how it is looking. summer is back. goodness me, _ that is how it is looking. summer is back. goodness me, that _ that is how it is looking. summer is back. goodness me, that is - that is how it is looking. summer is back. goodness me, that is great. l now it's time for the film review with anna smith. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. if you're going to make a movie about an eccentric truffle hunter searching furiously for his stolen pig, then surely you want to cast nicolas cage.

whistling. in pig, he plays a disheveled hermit who lives in the oregonian wilderness with his beloved foraging hog. when she's taken in a violent kidnapping, he doesn't stop to nurse his wounds. he heads straight into town. haunting the restaurants and bars of portland,

this christ—like spectre will stop at nothing to find his pig. he'sjoined in his search by alex wolf's truffle dealer, who lives in the shadow of his rich father. pig is billed as a thriller, but i think that's a misleading label. while there's some suspense, this is a gently paced story about the bond between human and animal, and the extraordinary power of sensory memories. like our hero, the script has little time for the pretensions of high—concept dining, but it has a great respect for the art of cooking. you can almost smell the truffles coming off the screen. and cage is tremendous — his dejected but proud figure consumed with the sadness that becomes infectious. pig really sneaks up on you emotionally. this delicate, delicious debut from michael sarnoski just opened at the edinburgh international film festival and is in cinemas now. you can consume it on digital from the 23rd of august. phone rings.

who is this? static. owen? is that... i can't hear you. look out of the window. next up, a psychological horror, the night house. rebecca hall stars as beth, a teacher who is reeling from the sudden death of her husband, owen. she's left alone in the lakeside home that they shared, having vivid nightmares about a ghostly presence. rummaging around in owen's belongings, she finds sketches

that tell a very strange story and tries to investigate while navigating her grief. there are plenty of effective scares in this film from director david bruckner, who helmed the rural horror the ritual. figures flicker and loom in the shadows, and sudden sounds will have you jumping out of your seat. but the script also explores beth's internal fears. she is terrified to discover that she may not have known her husband as well as she thought. and she's also scared of her own mind. it's a potent combination, and it requires an excellent actress to pull it off. luckily, rebecca hall is exactly that. i've loved her in everything from ben affleck�*s the town to angela robinson's professor marsden and the wonder women. she even brought a touch of class to godzilla versus kong. as beth, she's mesmerising, darting between denial, confusion and gallows humour — something that makes her colleagues visibly uncomfortable. after a terrific first two

acts, the conclusion of the night house is convoluted and slightly disappointing. but i would still absolutely recommend this to horror fans who think that complex characters and psychological puzzles are just as important as bumps in the night. owen? it's in cinemas now. if you fancy a double bill of complex horrors, then there's a fascinating new british chiller called censor.

set amid the moral panic around so—called "video nasties" in the 1980s, it stars niamh algar as enid, who works as a film censor. enid spends her working day watching graphic films to classify them for release. quiet and hard—working, enid's tragic past comes back to haunt her when one film reminds her of her missing sister. our mild—mannered heroine begins to unravel and move from the safety of the screening room into the seedy world of low—budget horrors. censor is a film of shocking twists and turns. so i won't to divulge much more of the plot. but i will say that it proves niamh algar to be a very versatile performer and barely recognisable from her other recent roles in raised by wolves. there's also a darkly funny turn from michael smiley, who is so great at being humorously sinister. who's this? this is enid bayne, she is one of our censors.

censor announces director and co—writer prano bailey—bond as a major talent who plays with intriguing ideas of visual flair. this story explores mental health and memory as well as politics, the media and power systems. there's a lot to chew on, and while this one�*s ending might also have you scratching your head, it's definitely a conversation starter. censor is in cinemas now. i need everyone�*s attention! hey, do you mind? i am trying to get my kids to sleep in here. oh, no! now i'm up all night. thanks. if you are after something a bit more cuddly you can watch at home at the kids, why not try the animated comedy extinct? basically, the story of time travelling talking doughnuts, extinct is bill and ted meets the secret life of pets with a dash of horrible histories.

starting in 1835 in the galapagos islands, it introduces a species of animals called flummels. they're furry and round, with a hole in the middle. two of their number, siblings op and ed, end up plummeting through a mysterious time portal into future. discovering that flummels are now extinct, they hop through time and try to save their species. while extinct even features charles darwin... you get everyone to the beach, we'll meet you down there after we get the darwin guy's attention with the sky flowers. s ky flowers ? ..i wouldn't come here for insight into actual natural history or indeed quantum physics, but it's a witty, cute watch with a boundless supply of sight gags and characters who are amusingly slow off the mark — something that's usually a winner with kids. it's just landed on sky cinema and now. you're going on a journey, a journey through memory. all you have to do is follow my voice.

i'm a fan of the tv series westworld, so i've been looking forward to reminiscence, a film written and directed by its co—creator, lisa joy. the dystopian sci—fi stars huthackman as nick, a detective living in a post—apocalyptic miami. along with his co—worker, played by thandiwe newton, he helps clients recover their memories, whether they want to recall a loved one or just find their keys. that's actually how nick meets may, by played by rebecca ferguson, a glamourous singer who disappears out of nick's life as quickly as she appeared. nick's search for her takes him in a dangerous and emotionaljourney. this has a great cast, and there are some fun ideas for fans of time—twisting tales, but sadly, the film just doesn't come together. both the dialogue and narration feel mannered and unoriginal. and while this eventually subverts some well—worn cliches, it does so very late in the day, so for most of the

film they feel like exactly that — cliches. and by inviting you to recall everything from westworld to blade runner, reminiscence comes up very short in comparison. all you have to do is follow my voice. it's in cinemas now. we'd like to formally welcome you to japan. ok, are you saying the same thing he said or is that to...? yeah. ok, first of all, we would like to... to him, yeah? yes. ..formally accept your invitation to your country and show you a little bit of what we have to offer. she speaks japanese. they sing and rap. finally, a much—loved tv mockumentary comes to the big screen in

peoplejust do nothing: big injapan. do you want to run through security at the exact same time? i'd love nothing more. three, two, one... the series peoplejust do nothing catalogued the struggles of a fictional pirate radio station called kuru pt fm. openly influenced by the office, mc grindah and his hapless crew put the brent in brentwood with hilarious results. the cinematic debut uses a similarformula within a fish—out—of—water scenario. discovering that their track has been used on a japanese game show, the boys fly to tokyo, where they're thrown into the clutches of a smooth manager played by ken yamamura. meanwhile, their self—appointed manager chabuddy, played by asim chaudhry, gets into a series of disastrous mishaps. the culture clash comedy is fitfully amusing and will probably date quite quickly, but as ever this draws a steady stream of laughs from the sheer

stupidity of its lovable characters, from delusional, self—aggrandising grindah, played by allan mustafa, to amiable stoner steves, played by steve stamp. after watching these fellas many times from this very sofa, ifound it a real treat to laugh along with the crowd in the cinema, where it's showing now. thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith. i'll be back next week. in the meantime, stay safe. ragga rap. would you like to translate for them? i'm not sure i can. . too big to translate. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. our headlines today: get back, get back!

chaos and panic in kabul as thousands crowd the airport, desperate to leave afghanistan. facing a firestorm of criticism, president biden says it's one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history and makes a pledge to us citizens. let me be clear — any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. welfare rules for dogs imported to the uk are to be tightened amid a rise in puppy smuggling. georgia hall leads the women's open. the 2018 champion has victory on her mind going into round three at carnoustie. and we get a bit of everything thrown at us this weekend with some pretty unsettled weather to come for some of us today, but something brighter on offer tomorrow. i'll be back with all the details. it's saturday 21st august.

our top story: there have been more scenes of chaos at kabul airport as crowds gather in the hope of fleeing taliban—controlled afghanistan. at least 2,400 people have been flown back to the uk so far — most of them uk nationals or those who had assisted british efforts in afghanistan. the government says it's working through the logistics of getting more people to the airport. our afghanistan correspondent, secunder kermani, has this report from the ground. soldier yelling: get the bleep back! get back! panic and chaos close to kabul airport. no, no, no! british soldiers guarding a secure compound for those being evacuated. british passport holders in the crowd, desperately trying to get through. this is my british passport. like this uber driver from west london. he's got kids. we are waiting, i try and...

how long have you been here waiting? i came morning, five o'clock, to still i'm waiting here. in the last three days, i'm trying to go inside... and they won't let you into the hotel? yeah, they won't. even though the embassy has told you to come here? yeah, he said i had to go here! even more distressing scenes at the main entrance to the compound. british soldiers trying to keep the crowd back. this is a scene of total and utter chaos, many of the people here don't have any permission to board an evacuation flight but they're so desperate that they've just turned up here anyway. that's making it extremely difficult for those who had been told to come here by the british embassy to get through. my family, my newborn baby. amongst those trapped by the crowd, this former british army interpreter. his wife gave birth just two weeks ago and he's deeply worried about the baby. maybe i lose my kid and maybe she is not good.

she's not good, my wife. you can't stay here. i can't stay here, look at the situation, look at the dirt on the floor here. and nobody — until now, i'm here since morning, i came here, taliban lashed me on the back. most of the people here are in a state of total confusion. they don't know how they can, but just want to leave the country before the evacuation flights end. what makes you think you'll be able to travel? this woman says she was a player on the national basketball team. i'm so scared because i'm girl. as the day goes on, some of those who are meant to be here eventually get through, including the family with a young baby. many others are still struggling, though. even more who want to leave but can't will be left behind.

secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. in the united states, president biden has admitted the evacuation of americans from afghanistan isn't "without risk of loss". speaking at the white house, he said the military had evacuated 13,000 people to date, and hoped to get everyone home. any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. it involves risks to our armed forces and it's being conducted under difficult circumstances. i cannot promise what the final outcome will be, or what it will be, that it will be without risk of loss. but as commander—in—chief, i can assure you that i will mobilise every resource necessary. the past week has been heartbreaking. we've seen gut wrenching images of panicked people acting out of sheer desperation. you know, it's completely understandable — they're frightened, they're sad, uncertain

what happens next. i don't think anyone, i don't think any one of us can see these pictures and not feel that pain on a human level. now we have a mission, a mission to complete in afghanistan. president biden also insisted his country's credibility had not been damaged by the events of the past week. he's faced criticism for misjudging the situation in afghanistan, and failing to anticipate the speed of the taliban's takeover. here's our us correspondent, david willis. president biden called this one of the largest and most difficult airlifts in history but he's vowed to not only bring americans home but also the afghans who worked with them. president biden said significant progress had been made as far as the evacuation effort was concerned but he conceded there had been a pause during the day yesterday, and it turns out the pause lasted around seven hours and was caused

by a receiving base in qatar being too full to take in any more evacuees. meanwhile, the crush at kabul airport continues and the us today flew three chinook helicopters in to a hotel on the outskirts of the airport to bring in 167 american citizens who basically couldn't get in because it was so congested at the entrance to kabul airport. the taliban, the president insists, is continuing to provide safe passage for americans through to the airport, but today the us defence secretary lloyd austin confirmed that there were reports that americans had been beaten in some cases by the taliban. whether the president's latest remarks will sway his critics remains to be seen.

his approval rating is currently at its lowest since he took office. meanwhile, here the prime minister says he "absolutely" has confidence in the foreign secretary, dominic raab, who's come under fire for his handling of the crisis in afghanistan. here's how events unfolded. on friday, mr raab was advised to call the afghan foreign minister. this was just before the government in afghanistan fell. he was on holiday in crete. he says the call was delegated to a junior minister. because he was "prioritising security and capacity at the airport on the direct advice of the director and the director general overseeing the crisis response". on saturday, the taliban reached the outskirts of kabul. the foreign secretary was still on holiday. by now no call was made. the government says that was down to the rapidly deteriorating situation. on sunday, the taliban took kabul.

the prime minister chaired a cobra meeting and the foreign secretary flew back from holiday. our political correspondent, lone wells joins us now. lone, the prime minister says he has confidence in mr raab, do you think dominic raab is still safe? a prime minister has said that he has full confidence in him so it appears he is safe now. he has defended his decision to delegate that key phone call and said he was prioritising safety and security and capacity at the airport. there are big questions for dominic brad that will not go away any time is an vault of if, as the payments are suggested, the uk government was doing everything it could, why was it a case that when foreign secretary dominic raab was on holiday, spotted by newspapers, on a beach as at gavel fell to the

taliban, this raises questions about the preparedness of the wider government for this —— couple fell to the taliban. link to that point, evenif to the taliban. link to that point, even if that one phone call may have not changed at the trajectory of how the crisis unfolded, as was suggested by the armed forces minister yesterday, should he have been on the phone sooner than friday to his afghan counterpart as we knew how this would unfold? there are questions for the foreign secretary, who was briefing against him suggesting there was some discontent of his handling of the crisis from those very much working closely with him. around 300,000 carbon dioxide monitors are to be made available to schools in england next term to help improve ventilation and lessen covid outbreaks. the department for education said

the portable monitors could be used to identify areas where more air—flow is needed. however, the £25—million order for co2 monitors has yet to be finalised, less than two weeks before many schools return. anti—vax protestors have clashed with police in several cities in australia. in melbourne, violence erupted as protesters broke through police lines. while in sydney, more than a thousand officers prevented demonstrators from gathering. nearly 900 positive covid—19 cases were confirmed in australia in the last day, a record since the pandemic began. the time now is 12 minutes past eight. the family and friends of a missing british woman have sent a letter to the foreign secretary asking for support to help find her. it's been five months since sarm heslop from southampton disappeared from her boyfriend's yacht in the us virgin islands. graham satchell has more.

sarm heslop was last seen in the us virgin islands, leaving a restaurant with her boyfriend ryan bane. she has been missing now for more than five months. her disappearance has left her parents devastated. i wake up every morning and it's the same nightmare. ifeel guilty when i smile, when i laugh. i just... i just feel awful. my heart is broken. sarm had been working on mr bane�*s yacht. he rang the police to say she was missing in the middle of the night but he didn't contact the coastguard to start a search for another ten hours. ryan bane has a previous conviction for assaulting his ex—wife. he hasn't allowed the police to search his yacht or given them an interview. mr bane�*s lawyer told us his client met with the us coast guard, answered all questions posed to him and gave them unfettered access

to the vessel, as well as to sarm's like personal belongings, including her phone and ipad. any reports to the contrary are categorically false. sarm's family and friends have now written to the foreign secretary asking for a meeting and for help. they say there has been only minimal support so far from the uk government. sarm's family say they now need the government's full assistance to find out what happened to their daughter. graham satchell, bbc news. we're joined now by two of sarm's friends, katie vernalls and victoria mogridge—percy. kitty and victoria, thank you very much for being with us today. would you mind telling us, how do you know sarm? , ., you mind telling us, how do you know sarm? ., ., ~ i. ., sarm? good morning. thank you for havin: us. sarm? good morning. thank you for having us. victoria _ sarm? good morning. thank you for having us. victoria and _ sarm? good morning. thank you for having us. victoria and i _ sarm? good morning. thank you for having us. victoria and i have - sarm? good morning. thank you for having us. victoria and i have both l having us. victoria and i have both known _ having us. victoria and i have both known sarm — having us. victoria and i have both known sarm for around 13 years and we met_ known sarm for around 13 years and we met through mutual friends. victoria — we met through mutual friends. victoria worked with sarm at flybe. sarm _ victoria worked with sarm at flybe. sarm and _ victoria worked with sarm at flybe. sarm and i— victoria worked with sarm at flybe. sarm and i have lived together on and off— sarm and i have lived together on and off while she has been

illegal animal imports. operation delphin at holyhead port rescued almost 100 puppies being smuggled into the uk. many of those illegally shipped suffer health problems and have not been through proper checks by certified vets. smugglers have also found legal loopholes to transport dogs with docked tails and cropped ears into the country — a practice some vets say are purely for looks but can cause a lot of pain. when it comes to ear cropping, unfortunately what we have seen is an increase in demand for dogs with cropped ears — a completely unnecessary and abhorrent mutilation that causes nothing but pain and has no medical benefit. it is done purely for the way these dogs look. and we have seen an increase in their use in the media — by social media influencers and celebrities — which has led to an increase in demand by the public. animal welfare campaigners have been calling on the government to clamp down on these practices and introduce measures

to deter puppy smugglers. today, the government is launching a consultation on new powers to help tackle these issues, which include raising the minimum age for importing a puppy from 15 weeks to six months, banning the import of dogs with cropped ears and docked tails, and stopping the import of heavily pregnant dogs to help both protect puppy and mother welfare. we're delighted to see the government taking decisive action when it comes to importation of puppies, pregnant dogs and dogs with cropped ears. it has been something we have been calling for for a long time and is a real win for animal welfare. welfare that's increasingly under threat, with the number of puppies caught in conditions like this more than doubling last year. frankie mccamley, bbc news. we know this is an issue lots of you're interested in. we're joined now by david rowles

in her house. she still struggles to breathe and has been told she may never get better. she has been talking to olivia richwald. before covid, i was unstoppable, full of energy. just made the most of every minute of my life. katy edgerton caught covid—19 in march 2020 and was in bed for ten days. she thought she was better, but three months later, her hair fell out and she was rushed to hospital. she had long covid and life now is very different. i get exhausted if i am on my feet for a longer than five minutes. so even making my own lunch is a challenge, let alone looking after my own daughter, who is three. it has been completely life changing. katy suffers constant pain throughout her body. she struggles to breathe and has chronic fatigue. chronic fatigue is like... it is like walking through treacle.

i used to dance from the age of two. i would walk miles with my daughter. inow... i have to, i have to plan to go to up the stairs to make sure i don't go up it too many times because ijust have to lie down, getting dressed. the worst bit is katy can no longer be the mum she wants to be. i feel so sad that i can't be that energetic, full of life mummy that she had for the first two years of her life. but she is great and says, "mummy, lie down. your legs are poorly." and she gets all her doctor things out and she helps me. she is fabulous. but you worry that you miss out on so much. doctors are still working out what causes long covid.

it's thought a million people have symptoms lasting more than three months. but what they all want to know is will they get better. dr steven halpin and his team have 1000 long covid patients in leeds. in general, people are improving slowly, but there are some people who, at the very most severe end, are now well over a year since their original covid infection, and things are still really severely impact thing. so it's not universal improvement. it's been 17 months now, have you seen any improvement? minimal. i like to always keep positive and see glimmers of hope. as fast as we are suffering, the specialists are learning and it's a very rare situation. and how do you stay positive when you're suffering with this so much? i have good days and bad days but more bad days, but i would say keeping a positive mindset really helps on your recoveryjourney. i loved my life before this and you do grieve your old life,

but you can't because you've got to accept now and move forwards. and that is the only way that you can help with recovery. olivia richwald, bbc news. our thanks to katie for talking to as an telling us what she is going through. we're joined now by one of our regular gps dr sarahjarvis. good long covid, when you see someone like katie, 36 years old, otherwise active and is now appealing saying, this is what happened to me. she has bravely spoken to us about what she is going through, how much of this are you seeing now?— seeing now? unfortunately far too much and it _ seeing now? unfortunately far too much and it is _ seeing now? unfortunately far too much and it is very _ seeing now? unfortunately far too much and it is very like _ seeing now? unfortunately far too much and it is very like m - seeing now? unfortunately far too much and it is very like m e. - seeing now? unfortunately far too much and it is very like m e. whatj much and it is very like m e. what worries— much and it is very like m e. what worries me — much and it is very like m e. what worries me most of all is that amy can be _ worries me most of all is that amy can be an — worries me most of all is that amy can be an incredibly debilitating condition— can be an incredibly debilitating condition and can last for years.

so, we've still got 36 holes to play, but i've given myself the best position i can. from one former winner to another, dame laura davies won the event back in 1986 when it wasn't a major. and at the age of 57 she made the cut with a round of two under par and is through to the weekend. it is her 4ist women's open. she goes out on level par at quarter to ten this morning. you can watch both finals of the hundred at lords live on bbc two today. in the men's, birmingham phoenix will face southern brave after last night's eliminator. the brave bowled out trent rockets for just 96, tom moores victim of this clever catch on the boundary by craig 0verton. captainjames vince then guided his team to an easy victory with an unbeaten 45 as they reached their target with 32 balls to spare. in the women's hundred the oval invincibles produced a stunning comeback to reach today's final. marizanne kapp smashed this six to help the invincibles to 114. their opponents birmingham phoenix

were crusing at 66—2 before tash farrant took four wickets to carry her team to victory. the invincibles against southern brave starts at three o'clock this afternoon. i think every game we played it sounded louder and louder. but yeah, it's going to be a big day tomorrow for women's cricket. but the hundred hasjust exceeded i think everyone's expectations and i think the women's game isjust going to go from strength to strength after this. i think this is sort of the level that we need to keep it at now. and parkrun returns to wales at nine o'clock this morning, so good luck to everyone taking part. they had if you are watching in wales and want to do it, you have to get out there. thanks very much indeed. we will see you later again later. . indeed. we will see you later again later. , . ., indeed. we will see you later again later. , .., , , indeed. we will see you later again

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. our headlines today: get back, get back! chaos and panic in kabul as thousands crowd the airport, desperate to leave afghanistan. facing a firestorm of criticism, president biden says it's one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history and makes a pledge to us citizens.

let me be clear — any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. it's finals day in the hundred. the men's and women's inaugural champions will be decided at lord's later. southern brave are going in both. we warm up for the start of the paralympics with mike and his strictly co—star — team gb table tennis player, will bayley. and actor david morrissey will be here to talk about the latest season of brittania and new bbc one police drama, sherwood. and we get a bit of everything thrown at us this weekend with some pretty unsettled weather to come for some of us today, but something brighter on offer tomorrow. i'll be back with all the details. it's saturday 2ist august.

there have been more scenes of chaos at kabul airport as crowds gather in the hope of fleeing taliban—controlled afghanistan. at least 2,400 people have been flown back to the uk so far — most of them uk nationals or those who had assisted british efforts in afghanistan. the government says it's working through the logistics of getting more people to the airport. our afghanistan correspondent, secunder kermani, has this report from the ground. soldier yelling: get the bleep back! get back! panic and chaos close to kabul airport. no, no, no! british soldiers guarding a secure compound for those being evacuated. british passport holders in the crowd, desperately trying to get through. this is my british passport. like this uber driver

from west london. he's got kids. we are waiting, i try and... how long have you been here waiting? i came morning, five o'clock, to still i'm waiting here. in the last three days, i'm trying to go inside... and they won't let you into the hotel? yeah, they won't. even though the embassy has told you to come here? yeah, he said i had to go here! even more distressing scenes at the main entrance to the compound. british soldiers trying to keep the crowd back. this is a scene of total and utter chaos, many of the people here don't have any permission to board an evacuation flight but they're so desperate that they've just turned up here anyway. that's making it extremely difficult for those who had been told to come here by the british embassy to get through. my family, my newborn baby. amongst those trapped by the crowd, this former british army interpreter. his wife gave birth just two weeks ago and he's deeply worried about the baby. maybe i lose my kid

and maybe she is not good. she's not good, my wife. you can't stay here. i can't stay here, look at the situation, look at the dirt on the floor here. and nobody — until now, i'm here since morning, i came here, taliban lashed me on the back. most of the people here are in a state of total confusion. they don't know how they can, but just want to leave the country before the evacuation flights end. what makes you think you'll be able to travel? this woman says she was a player on the national basketball team. i'm so scared because i'm girl. as the day goes on, some of those who are meant to be here eventually get through, including the family with a young baby. with the young baby. many others are still struggling, though. even more who want to leave but can't will be left behind.

secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. in the united states, president biden has admitted the evacuation of americans from afghanistan isn't "without risk of loss". speaking at the white house, he said the military had evacuated 13,00 people to date, and hoped to get everyone home. any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. it involves risks to our armed forces and it's being conducted under difficult circumstances. i cannot promise what the final outcome will be, or what it will be, that it will be without risk of loss. but as commander—in—chief, i can assure you that i will mobilise every resource necessary. the past week has been heartbreaking. we've seen gut—wrenching images of panicked people acting out of sheer desperation.

you know, it's completely understandable — they're frightened, they're sad, uncertain what happens next. i don't think anyone, i don't think any one of us can see these pictures and not feel that pain on a human level. now we have a mission, a mission to complete in afghanistan. president biden also insisted his country's credibility had not been damaged by the events of the past week. he's faced criticism for misjudging the situation in afghanistan and failing to anticipate the speed of the taliban's takeover. here's our us correspondent, david willis. president biden called this one of the largest and most difficult airlifts in history but he's vowed to not only bring americans home but also the afghans who worked with them. president biden said significant progress had been made as far as the evacuation effort

was concerned but he conceded there had been a pause during the day yesterday, and it turns out the pause lasted around seven hours and was caused by a receiving base in qatar being too full to take in any more evacuees. meanwhile, the crush at kabul airport continues and the us today flew three chinook helicopters in to a hotel on the outskirts of the airport to bring in 167 american citizens who basically couldn't get in because it was so congested at the entrance to kabul airport. the taliban, the president insists, is continuing to provide safe passage for americans through to the airport, but today the us defence secretary, lloyd austin, confirmed that there were reports that americans had been beaten in some cases by the taliban. whether the president's latest remarks will sway his critics remains to be seen.

his approval rating is currently at its lowest since he took office. meanwhile here, the prime minister says he "absolutely" has confidence in the foreign secretary, dominic raab, who's come under fire for his handling of the crisis in afghanistan. here's how events unfolded. on friday, mr raab was advised to call the afghan foreign minister. that is before the government in afghanistan fell. at the time he was on holiday in crete andsays the call was delegated to a junior minister because he was "prioritising security and capacity at the airport on the direct advice of the director and the director general overseeing the crisis response". on saturday, the taliban reached the outskirts of kabul. the foreign secretary was still on holiday. by now no call was made.

the government says that was down to the rapidly deteriorating situation. on sunday, the taliban took kabul. the prime minister chaired a cobra meeting and the foreign secretary flew back from holiday. our political correspondent, lone wells joins us now. is dominic raab safe in hisjob this weekend are safer than he was a couple of days ago? it weekend are safer than he was a couple of days ago?— weekend are safer than he was a couple of days ago? it seems that we at the moment- _ couple of days ago? it seems that we at the moment. the _ couple of days ago? it seems that we at the moment. the prime _ couple of days ago? it seems that we at the moment. the prime minister l at the moment. the prime minister came _ at the moment. the prime minister came out— at the moment. the prime minister came out yesterday and said he absolutely had confidence in the foreign— absolutely had confidence in the foreign secretary. there has been more _ foreign secretary. there has been more uncomfortable reading for the government today with a little scattering more of criticism from mps and — scattering more of criticism from mps and anonymous ministers in the papers _ mps and anonymous ministers in the papers this— mps and anonymous ministers in the papers this morning. largely speaking, he seems to be pretty safe as it stands _ speaking, he seems to be pretty safe as it stands at the moment, but having _ as it stands at the moment, but having said that, a lot of questions when _ having said that, a lot of questions when the _ having said that, a lot of questions when the government and dominic raab _ when the government and dominic raab if— when the government and dominic raab if he — when the government and dominic raab. if he was really doing everything he possibly could to tackle — everything he possibly could to tackle this crisis, why was it that

with cropped ears or docked tails and also a ban on bringing heavily pregnant dogs into the uk. it follows a steep rise in the number of illegal puppies being stopped at uk borders. around 300,000 carbon dioxide monitors are to be made available to schools in england next term to help improve ventilation and lessen covid outbreaks. the department for education said the portable monitors could be used to identify areas where more air—flow is needed. however, the £25—million order for co2 monitors has yet to be finalised, less than two weeks before many schools return. anti—vax protestors have clashed with police in australia. in melbourne, violence erupted as protesters broke through police lines. while in sydney, more than a thousand officers prevented demonstrators from gathering. nearly 900 positive covid19 cases were confirmed in australia in the last day, a record since the pandemic began.

the government has rejected a call to issue 10,000 temporary visas to eu workers to tackle a shortage of lorry drivers. logistics uk — the trade body which represents freight businesses — says many restaurants and supermarkets are facing serious supply problems. it estimates there's a shortage of 75,000 drivers. but ministers say employers should invest in the domestic workforce rather than rely on foreign labour. it's 9.15am. here's 0wain with a look at this morning's weather. it is all change. we are turning a page weather—wise. over the next 24 hours and beyond, actually. first thing this morning is looking a bit like this, grey, monochrome overhead. we will see some brightness and sunny spells today, but the emphasis of the weather forecast for the next 24 hours is

many of us will see heavy spells of rain and sundry downpours as well. tomorrow will be a better day —— sundry downpours. tomorrow more anyway have brightness and sunshine, but we'll still see some showers as well. this is what is going on, we had this when different across the uk presence. that is bringing the outbreaks of rain, the cloudy conditions as well. you cannot see it at the moment but there is actually an area of high pressure here building, we will get that any second. you can see the weather front swirling around the uk year. it has brought heavy spells of rain to south—western parts are ready and moving towards the east. something dire behind it, across parts of northern ireland, wales and south—west of england. not completely dry —— something drier. the rain gets into western parts of scotland, the midlands and south—east. breeze across south—western parts and today's top temperatures reaching 20, 21 celsius

some heavy showers will get going as we progress through the day. tomorrow's top temperatures, 21, 22, 23 celsius at best. cooler across the north of scotland and northern isles as well. next week, the high pressure will stick around. the temperatures, plunked across the uk. that means we are likely to see —— there it is. we will see... areas of low pressure is being kept at bay as well. temperature wise, over the next couple of days, hovering in the low, mid 205. a fair bit of cloud, but we will see sums and is not an innocent young, feeling quite warm. that is how is looking.— that is how is looking. thank you very much _ that is how is looking. thank you very much owain. _ that is how is looking. thank you very much owain. at _ that is how is looking. thank you very much owain. at last! - that is how is looking. thank you very much owain. at last! 80 - that is how is looking. thank you - very much owain. at last! 80 minutes ast nine. very much owain. at last! 80 minutes past nine- -- — very much owain. at last! 80 minutes past nine- --18- _ a coronavirus boosterjab scheme is likely to start next month, according to the health secretary. sajid javid confirmed the most vulnerable would be offered a third jab first, before a possible roll—out to other groups. it comes as the world health

thank saturday morning. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. we are getting excited about all sorts of things going on in the sport. we have the cricket, the goal. really good building up to the final day. the third round of the women's open is underway. england's georgia hall isn't out until two o'clock, she is thejoint leader at carnoustie. the 2018 champion is seven under at the halfway stage, sharing the lead with american mina harigae.

hall recovered from a double bogey on the 15th hole to hold on to the joint lead and keep the british fans happy. i had this little boy follow me around, kept shouting my name. it was very cute. four days of golf is very long so we still have 36 holes to play. i have given yourself the best position i can. cricket�*s the hundred comes to an end today. this new, shorter, faster, form of cricket that was introduced 100 balls a side. both the men's and women's finals are taking place in just a few hours' time. the oval incincibles will play southern brave in the women's final, the oval invincibles will play southern brave in the women's final, and southern brave faces birmingham phoenix in the men's. we're joined by former england cricketer and bbc sport presenter of the hundred commentator, isa guha. thanks for being with us.

this has been cricket with difference — musicianjake bugg was talking to naga and john half an hour ago — he played trent bridge. everyone that's been has talked about a festival atmosphere when they've been — younger crowds too — how successful has it been attracting a new audience? thank you. i think it has been hugely successful and undeniable in what it has been set up to do, it is not the number one sport in this country, just from what i have seen, the attendance, country, just from what i have seen, the attendance, the country, just from what i have seen, the attendance, the kind country, just from what i have seen, the attendance, the kind of country, just from what i have seen, the attendance, the kind of number of people that have shown up for the women's aim has been spectacular. it has been record—breaking. since the opening night, to have more than 12,000 people to most women's games isjust phenomenal. it 12,000 people to most women's games is just phenomenal. it is the most attended women's domestic tournament anywhere around the world. to have the men and women playing side by

side is huge. and just speaking to a lot of my friends who wouldn't necessarily have watch cricket before, they are asking me about the tournament and where they can get tickets and where they can watch. so i think it has cut through, to have kids coming down, but notjust kids. getting people in their late 70s coming down to watch, just as the what all the fuss is about. and diverse communities as well, it has been really amazing to see the number of people who have turned out for the games and the visibility we are getting on television as well and players. are getting on television as well and maven-— are getting on television as well and players. how much of a step forward has _ and players. how much of a step forward has it _ and players. how much of a step forward has it been, _ and players. how much of a step forward has it been, we - and players. how much of a step forward has it been, we have - and players. how much of a step i forward has it been, we have equal prize money that still steps to be made in terms of equal salaries? absolutely. there is always a balance to be struck and we need to move the women's game forward. the introduction of 41 professional

domestic contracts through the national cricketers association was a massive step forward. these girls now, they are able to train and deliver on the pitch. it timely that the hundred happen this year on the back of those domestic contracts coming in. we are seeing them put in pressurised situations. yesterday birmingham phoenix, a lot of girls have not been in that situation before. 12,000 people in a stadium, you are under pressure, and eliminate again. you have people watching across the world and here in the uk as well. all eyes would have been on them and it is amazing we can put them in those situations so they can learn and get better. we have about 30 seconds of time, in turn of the... the purists you're probably never going to win over, some people saying we've got t20 cricket why this — how's the format held up and do you think there should be any changes going forward?|t�*s southern brave against i think it has worked. a lot of

people who have not watched cricket before our understanding it. i think we have brought a lot of pianists with us but there are those who are reticent because of what they might think it might do to cricket in this country. i am an optimist, i hope we can fit everything into the schedule and keep everyone happy. i do not envy the administrators! but what i have seen is that a lot of people are watching cricket and that can only be a good thing. head down to your local club, find out more about cricket on the england, wales cricket on the england, wales cricket website and just get involved somehow. we would love to see you play. involved somehow. we would love to see you play-— see you play. sold to me. you can see you play. sold to me. you can see the finals _ see you play. sold to me. you can see the finals live. _ the hundred men and women's finals will be live on bbc two today from 2.30pm.

it is 9:37am. one of the gold medal hopes for paralympics gb is world number one, and reigning champion, will bayley in table tennis. he was seriously injured while competing in the 2019 series of strictly come dancing — which cast doubts over whether he would be able to defend his title in tokyo. mike bushell — who was also with will during strictly, has been catching up with him ahead of next week's games. the king of comebacks is at it again. will bayley has spent his life defying the odds and he has overcome adversity once more to prove any doubters wrong, in time for tokyo. ijust believe in destiny and i believe that i'm meant to be playing on the big stages. i just believe that in the back of my mind. so when i was having those bad days, i was telling myself, you know, you are made for this. you know, you've got an extra year to recover and, you know, this is your moment.

you see the real character of someone when they are right up against it, when they are having bad days. bayley was born with a condition that affects all of his limbs. what's more, when he was seven, he had a two—year battle with blood cancer which is when his grandma bought him a mini table tennis table to help his recovery. and look where it led to. world championship title, the paralympic gold medal in rio. before will and i became friends on our strictlyjourney in 2019. dancing contemporary . for their couples choice, will bayley and jeanette manrara. the show on which he won over millions of new fans with his energy and moving routines with dance partnerjanette manrara. but the week after his contemporary dance which captured the nation's heart, will was injured during the friday rehearsal for his jive, tearing a cruciate ligament and needing an operation to rebuild his right knee. he wasn't able to play any table

tennis for a whole year. after my injury, it was difficult for me and i lost a bit of confidence in myself and put on a bit of weight, as you know, and i struggled with the rehab. i'm so grateful to be on the table again and doing what i love and what i feel comfortable with. unlike the dancing. i wasjust rehabbing in my garden, and my little girl, bella, she was crawling out, watching me every day. i was doing, i think it was 1000 squats a day, was my target. because my disability is like muscle wasting as well. so like i found it extra difficult to build up muscle back—up and it was a real struggle. but you know what it's like when you've got children. sometimes they can give you that extra motivation, and she definitely did it ao i'm very gratefulfor that. we just want to say, good luck| and we all love you very much. we know how hard you work and we're all so proud of you _ this one wants to talk to you. it was his family, his partner fiona and daughters, that got him through, in the garden, just as they will do now with their messages

while he's away. and we love you very much. good luck! good luck, daddy! well, this is quite a moment, special actually. seeing will back to his best with his team—mates again because i was in the strictly studio, that friday afternoon, backstage, when he came off the table in rehearsal and there were a lot of tears, i can tell you. and we realised pretty much the day after that his strictly journey was over. many then feared whether they would ever see him back playing table tennis again. well, we shouldn't have doubted him. we always called him the champ. making sure he doesn't hurt his knee again, 100%. it's fantastic to have him in the team. he's a really positive guy around training and you know he always gives 100%. so to work alonsgside him to going to tokyo is fantastic.

and has he shown you any dance moves as well? he has not treated us to some dance moves yet, but maybe one day. you know what, strictly has improved me as a table tennis player. i think me and you had a great relationship. we sort of leaned on each other, being the ones that struggled at first. not you, me! it's like being on strictly all over again. got to keep moving. i feel much quicker now. i thought a lot about my footwork after strictly working with janette. i have definitely taken a bit with what i did on strictly. also handling pressure as well. dancing in front of so many millions. that's the movement were looking for. and then you come in and smash one. go on then. there is your chance. 0h! a moment of glory. laughing. that was terrible. it's all about the movement, mike. come on, smash one. 0h!

champ. but this was a fraction of will's show of strength to prove he is back to his best. yo. mike, you know what, i think you're dancing is better than your table tennis, to be honest. that's saying something, isn't it? shall we give it a go? what, the old dancing? yeah. i knew the champ was really back to his old self again when... well, we just couldn't help ourselves. come on, ross. side, side, side. do the charleston again. oh, that is... that's about all i can do. that is unbelievable. you can expect far more of this if will can strike gold once more in tokyo. mike bushell, bbc news, in sheffield. get good luck, we are thinking of you and all the paralympics gb team.

ijust did that you and all the paralympics gb team. i just did that wiggle thing. you and all the paralympics gb team. ijust did that wiggle thing. i don't know why i did it! what did you do? i wiggled my feet. very elegant. what i like to go for as a heatwave and all of you and your colleagues for the last week, i would say the last ten days were kinda venting, oh yeah, is coming. i appreciate rain for the garden, of course i do. a heatwave? there is not going to be a heatwave. you don't look happy... you are all ha - to you don't look happy... you are all happy to say _ you don't look happy... you are all happy to say it _ you don't look happy... you are all happy to say it was _ you don't look happy... you are all happy to say it was on _ you don't look happy... you are all happy to say it was on the - you don't look happy... you are all happy to say it was on the way. - you don't look happy... you are all happy to say it was on the way. i i happy to say it was on the way. i did not say it personally, darling. there was some talk last week, especially in some of the papers

about... i'm going to stick this. there was talk and some papers with temperatures rising in the next couple of days and into next week. we are going to see a bit of a rise in those temperatures but what we are not going to see is anything like a heatwave or anything like a prolonged spell of hot weather if you like. short—term here is how it is looking. the weekend is split in half. today, not a great day. heavy showers and thunder and lightning in the mix. tomorrow it is a mixture of sunny spells and showers. that is going to be a better day. this is the situation on the pressure chart. the weather front is bringing the rain and cloud. you can see it here, it is like a big swell. some parts of the south west have seen this already as it continues its journey towards the north and east. it will bring further spells of rain. leaving parts of the south—west and

wales, bringing heavy rain and showers into the midlands and across the south of scotland and the west. the head of there's a mix of showers and heavy spells of rain. top temperatures today about 20 or 21 at best. as we look towards the evening, the weather front is still moving, slowly but moving towards the east. some show is behind it here, you can see them, the blue and green flashing up. the green and yellow colours, heavier downpours. lows of 1a or 15. tomorrow, thanks to the low pressure moving away from us and being replaced by this high, things will be drier and brighter. the area of high pressure will stick around for the next couple of days so that will lead to drier and more settled conditions but we will not see a dramaticjump in temperatures.

i cannot say we are never going to see a heatwave. you said you were the most get and you are always accurate. there is a limit, isn't there? what i'd like is like a mystic meg crystal ball and dry ice. up mystic meg crystal ball and dry ice. up went real. i mystic meg crystal ball and dry ice. up went real-— up went real. i am camping next week. up went real. i am camping next week- why? _ up went real. i am camping next week. why? can _ up went real. i am camping next week. why? can you _ up went real. i am camping next week. why? can you move - up went real. i am camping next week. why? can you move in - up went real. i am camping next week. why? can you move in to| up went real. i am camping next. week. why? can you move in to the middle of this _ week. why? can you move in to the middle of this week? _ week. why? can you move in to the middle of this week? i _ week. why? can you move in to the middle of this week? i am - week. why? can you move in to the middle of this week? i am sure - week. why? can you move in to the middle of this week? i am sure the | middle of this week? i am sure the bosses will — middle of this week? i am sure the bosses will be _ middle of this week? i am sure the bosses will be really _ middle of this week? i am sure the i bosses will be really accommodating. you want a bit of sunshine when you are camping. can you sign may leave request? though weather and hr. it is 13 minutes to ten. we have david morrissey coming out. he

before covid, i was unstoppable, full of energy. just made the most of every minute of my life. katy egerton caught covid—19 in march 2020 and was in bed for ten days. she thought she was better, but three months later, her hair fell out and she was rushed to hospital. she had long covid and life now is very different. i get exhausted if i am on my feet for a longer than five minutes. so even making my own lunch is a challenge, let alone looking after my own daughter, who is three. it has been completely life changing. katy suffers constant pain throughout her body. she struggles to breathe and has chronic fatigue. chronic fatigue is like... it is like walking through treacle. i used to dance from the age of two. i would walk miles with my daughter. inow... i have to, i have to plan to go to up the stairs to make sure i don't go up it too many times because ijust have to lie down, getting dressed. the worst bit is katy can no longer be the mum she wants to be. i feel so sad that i can't be that

energetic, full of life mummy that she had for the first two years of her life. but she is great and says, "mummy, lie down. your legs are poorly." and she gets all her doctor things out and she helps me. she is fabulous. but you worry that you miss out on so much. doctors are still working out what causes long covid. it's thought a million people have symptoms lasting more than three months. but what they all want to know is will they get better. dr stephen halpin and his team have 1000 long covid patients in leeds. in general, people are improving slowly, but there are some people who, at the very most severe end, are now well over a year since their original covid infection, and things are still really severely impacting. so it's not universal improvement. it's been 17 months now, have you seen any improvement? minimal.

i like to always keep positive and see glimmers of hope. as fast as we are suffering, the specialists are learning and it's a very rare situation. and how do you stay positive when you're suffering with this so much? i have good days and bad days but more bad days, but i would say keeping a positive mindset really helps on your recoveryjourney. i loved my life before this and you do grieve your old life, and you do grieve for your old life, but you can't because you've got to accept now and move forwards. and that is the only way that you can help with recovery. olivia richwald, bbc news. you have thank you, katie for telling us your story. obviously very, very personal. coming up to ten o'clock, we promised you we would be talking to david morrissey.
