6:54 am
corleone's first wife is filled topless on her wedding night. the actress was a teenager at the time. she is topless, he isn't, there's no melody at all, and you know, in previous films you have seen her basically bartered over. i want to meet your daughter. she has— i want to meet your daughter. she has very few lines, very little opportunity to give any kind of character. i think the actress herself describe the role as, i met him, i married him, idied. the role as, i met him, i married him, i died. that's it! laughs. she is a daughter of a don, you know, she has some power, she would have experience in power growing up, and yet she is quite helpless. what's the matter? it and yet she is quite helpless. what's the matter?— and yet she is quite helpless. what's the matter? it was my fault! she is another _ what's the matter? it was my fault! she is another character _ what's the matter? it was my fault! i she is another character squandered, in my view. the dorm was hugely

successful so a lot of studio executives would have looked at it and thought, fantastic, let's replicate that. and i think, i mean, the 19705 was the age of the male anti hero. i saw in your eyes, i saw the way that— i saw in your eyes, i saw the way that you — i saw in your eyes, i saw the way that you carry yourself that you aren't — that you carry yourself that you aren't a — that you carry yourself that you aren't a happy person. t iiat— aren't a happy person. that is— aren't a happy person. that is the period you have robert de niro and taxicab mciver, misogynistic man whose characters are explored, and that is not to say that i don't think the godfather should exist at all, it is a great film, but ijust want other films, and i'm sure that other feminists felt at the time that they were completely destroyed by the popular cinema at the time. perhaps coppola's world, a domestic world to please may have been fairly accurate, but the 19405 was also an era of spirited heroines on screen, and flashing these women out into fully dimensional characters was also an opportunity missed.

7:01 am
with four mp5 launching their campaigns to become the next prime minister. they include former chancellor rishi sunak, whose resignation earlier this week helped trigger the mass walkout of ministers that forced mr johnson to stand down. this weekend, more candidates are expecting to announce their intention to stand, as our political correspondent lone wells reports. journalist: will you be - standing for the leadership? who is in the running to be the next tory party leader? journalist: are you going to be the next prime minister? - some, like the former chancellor, rishi sunak, have publicly said they will be. he launched his bid in slick video on friday. that's why i'm standing to be the next leader of the conservative party, and your prime minister. he was the second cabinet minister to resign from borisjohnson's government, and says his campaign will focus on integrity. he's had the backing of some prominent conservative mp5 already. he's got the right values,
7:02 am
he's competent, he's honest. and i think he's the sort of conservative i want to see. he believes in cutting taxes, but he's going to be honest with people. we can only cut taxes if we control spending and if we get growth going in the economy. rishi sunakjoined the backbench tory mp tom tugendhat and attorney—general suella braverman, who have declared their bids. last night kemi badenoch also announced she'd be running. and others who sat in borisjohnson's government like sajid javid, liz truss, nadhim zahawi, ben wallace, priti patel and grant shapps are among those said to be seriously considering bids. some have been privately shoring up support among mp colleagues, and are expected to announce their bids in the coming days. first, fellow tory mp5 here in westminster will whittle down the long list of contenders. then, in previous contests, conservative members have had a vote to decide between final two. the full process and timetable is expected to be announced next week. but it is expected that
7:03 am
a new prime minister will be in place by september. a5 temperatures are set to soar this weekend, the leadership race is hotting up too. those who want to lead the country now need to spend their summer battling it out. lone wells, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, who's at westminster. so, this is the time when we started hearing more contenders throwing their hats into the ring, and also some changes as well?— their hats into the ring, and also some changes as well? that's right. this could start _ some changes as well? that's right. this could start to _ some changes as well? that's right. this could start to get _ some changes as well? that's right. this could start to get very - this could start to get very crowded, this field, because we've already got these candidates that lone was just speaking about, but lots of strong contenders, people like liz truss and jeremy hunt and nadhim zahawi, they have yet to actually officially declare any bid. what is going to happen going forward with this debate is that we
7:04 am
will start here canada is talking about the issues and weather they will potentially be policy differences going forward. there is legislation currently going through here at westminster to change aspects of the brexit deal, the northern ireland protocol. that is not going down very well with the eu. will the candidates see that through? there is also the government's controversial policy on trying to send some asylum seekers to rwanda was not the same question stands on that. one question that is already emerging with some differences in declared candidates is where they stand on tax cuts. jimmy bana, who announced in the times this morning, has made announcements around taxes. —— kemi badenoch. so has time to get out. but rishi sunak has warned against comforting fairytales that children may then have to pay for in the future. of course, the rules of this condition will be decided on monday, it will be mp5 whittling it down to two candidates. that will go to conservative party membership, about 180,000 people, who will pick the
7:05 am
next prime minister.— next prime minister. david, thank ou. the body of formerjapanese prime minister shinzo abe has arrived in tokyo, a day after he was assassinated at a political rally in the city of nara. this was the scene earlier this morning as the hearse carrying his coffin made its way to his home in the capital. police say a 41—year—old man has claimed responsibility for the killing. we can speak now to james simms, a journalist based in tokyo. we have just seen some of those latest images of that convoy of vehicles. can you give us a sense of what impact this is happening on japanese people injapanese society. well, i think japanese people injapanese society. well, ithink it japanese people injapanese society. well, i think it has been a shocking incident in a country which has maybe a dozen gun related crimes every year, and may be less than a
7:06 am
handful of people dying from gunshot wounds. prime minister shinzo abe was a transformative figure, he was also a bit controversial, but his death has been a huge shock, there has been a lot of grief, even anger, over how something like this could happen in a country that, as i said, does not have that many gun related crimes or deaths. teii does not have that many gun related crimes or deaths.— crimes or deaths. tell us what you know about _ crimes or deaths. tell us what you know about the _ crimes or deaths. tell us what you know about the alleged _ crimes or deaths. tell us what you know about the alleged attacker, i crimes or deaths. tell us what you i know about the alleged attacker, and the circumstances? how it was that he was able to carry out this assassination? iie he was able to carry out this assassination?— he was able to carry out this assassination? , . ' , ., ., assassination? he is a 41-year-old formerjapanese — assassination? he is a 41-year-old formerjapanese navy, _ assassination? he is a 41-year-old formerjapanese navy, i— assassination? he is a 41-year-old formerjapanese navy, i guess - assassination? he is a 41-year-old formerjapanese navy, i guess he| assassination? he is a 41-year-old . formerjapanese navy, i guess he was a seaman, he was in the navy for about three years, they court the japan maritime self defence forces. he had apparently gone through many, many differentjobs and was living at home. he was 41. there have been
7:07 am
reports that he was unhappy with abe, not because of his political views but for, he thought that abe was close to some sort of organisation, it is not clear what that organisation was, but my guess is that maybe it was a religion or a cult, because there were some ports saying that his mother had given a lot of money into this specific organisation, and so that was his motivation, apparently. the other issueis motivation, apparently. the other issue is the security detail that abe had, i covered parliament for about ten years, and the japanese prime minister, when they are in office, they have a very heavy security detail, and more than a few times i have been shoved out of the way in parliament, when coming through, but abe was a former prime minister and it was also an election season, and so during the election season, and so during the election season, the officials and the ministers and the former prime minister that were campaigning, they
7:08 am
are obviously trying to get as close as possible to meet and greet, and they are up high, on sound trucks, to speak to voters ahead of the election, which is this sunday, for the upper house. so there were a lot of questions in terms of the security detail and are looking at some of the videos that have come out, it looks like there was not much security behind mr abe, because the suspect was able to approach very closely and to get two shots off before he was tackled by police and the security detail.— and the security detail. looking ahead now. _ and the security detail. looking ahead now, it— and the security detail. looking ahead now, it is— and the security detail. looking ahead now, it is very _ and the security detail. looking ahead now, it is very early - and the security detail. looking | ahead now, it is very early days, the country is of course in morning but do you think this will prompt changes injapanese society but do you think this will prompt changes in japanese society about how people see their freedoms, and how people see their freedoms, and how they go about regular business, is it that kind of event? ila. how they go about regular business, is it that kind of event?— is it that kind of event? no, it is
7:09 am
not... i mean, _ is it that kind of event? no, it is not... i mean, in— is it that kind of event? no, it is not... i mean, in terms- is it that kind of event? no, it is not... i mean, in terms of- is it that kind of event? no, it is| not... i mean, in terms of events like we have seen in the us or even in parts of europe, i don't think it is going to be something that is going to be transformative in terms of japanese society or politics or even laws, because japan already has some of the strictest gun regulations in the world, it is honest impossible to get a weapon evenif honest impossible to get a weapon even if you are using it for hunting, maybe a couple hundred thousand permits for people to have hunting firearms, and politically abe was trying to reform the constitution and one of his biggest legacies i5 constitution and one of his biggest legacies is improving the security ties between japan legacies is improving the security ties betweenjapan and the us, including putting in collective defence. after all, including putting in collective defence. afterall, it including putting in collective defence. after all, it is not going to have a huge impact in terms of the structure of society or the culture or anything like that, i am not even sure if it is going to have that big of an impact on the election, the results on sunday,
7:10 am
because his ruling liberal democratic party is expected to wind fairly easily. —— win fairly easily. james sims, for the moment, thank you very much for your time. a major new programme to train ukrainian army recruits has begun in the uk, as part of a package of military aid totalling more than two billion pounds. to prepare up to 10,000 ukrainians for the conflict against russia. simonjones has been to visit one of the training sites in the north west of england. instructor: replace the tmh at the front and make - sure the pins... just days ago, these recruits from ukraine had never before picked up a weapon. plumbers, electricians, office workers — now being put through their paces in the north—west of england by british soldiers. the training will teach weapons handling, first aid, battlefield tactics and the law of armed conflict. it is a serious training, because it is an important part of our upcoming life. and the more skills we earn here, the better we will be prepared, and i do feela high
7:11 am
level of responsibility, in front of my people and my family and all my relatives, simply because i am here to be prepared to defend them. the plan is to train 10,000 ukrainians in 120 days at mod sites across the uk. the british government says it's part of a package of military aid totalling more than £2 billion. many of the british soldiers passing on their skills have previously had tours of duty in ukraine themselves. i really do feel like we're making a difference, because they came to us as, essentially, civilians. and now three days into a training programme, four days, they've started acting like soldiers, thinking like soldiers, and they've started speaking to us like soldiers. borisjohnson and the ukrainian president have enjoyed a close relationship. but given the recent political turmoil in the uk, the government has this message for president zelensky. britain is full square behind them. you know, the assistance to ukraine
7:12 am
we give is notjust one person, not me, not the prime minister. it's the whole effort. we've got the british army up here today, up in the north of england, training ukrainians on what they need to do. this next generation are being issued with body armour and first aid kits to take back with them, trying to prepare the troops for life on the front line. simon jones, bbc news. meanwhile, rush i5 meanwhile, rush is preparing for a new offensive to try to capture the rest of the industrial donbas region in eastern ukraine. we can now speak to our correspondentjoe inwood, who joins us from kyiv. joe, we were running that report about training here in the uk, but meanwhile it is really needed for a defence to be put up in ukraine at the moment?— the moment? absolutely, that's ri t ht. the the moment? absolutely, that's right. the russians _ the moment? absolutely, that's right. the russians have - the moment? absolutely, that's| right. the russians have recently successfully captured a couple of
7:13 am
big cities in the luhansk region and are now in a regrouping phase as they get ready to try to push into they get ready to try to push into the rest of the industrial donbas. it looks like the main city they will be aiming for is a place called slav yarns, and another city called kramatorsk nearby. all these places have come under shelling in the last day or so. it seems the russians at the moment on something of an operational pause, because the battle for the previous cities was particularly punishing. a ukrainian perspective they have received a new £400 million package from the us. the crucial thing is this system called hi mars, multiple launch rocket systems which they have put to good effect so far in this battle. the total they have is to good effect so far in this battle. the total they have i512. doesn't sound like much, but these very, very precise for supper ukrainian say they have been using them to hit supply lines, ammunition dumps, deep inside russian territory in occupied ukrainian territory, we should say. the reason that matters is because rush i5
7:14 am
should say. the reason that matters is because rush is in a resupply phase, the ukrainians are trying to make that difficult, and these new systems they are using are really putting pressure on russian supply lines. so when this push into the donbas does come, it will be rather more difficult for the russians. joe, thank you. the world's richest man, elon musk, says he is abandoning his £36 billion bid to buy twitter. a lawyer for the tesla chief executive has accused the social media company of breaching the original agreement. however, twitter says it plans to pursue legal action to enforce the deal. the actor tony sirico, best known for his role as a mafia henchman in the sopranos, has died at the age of 79. he appeared in all six seasons of the show as paulie 'walnuts' gualtieri. the american actor also played the role of gangsters in more than a dozen other mob movies, including martin scorsese's goodfellas.
7:15 am
it is coming up to 7:15am. sarah is taking a look at the weather for us today. a real contrast in terms of temperatures across the country? we see that often, but i think it will be more marked in the coming days? yes, it is. good morning to you, doug and charlie. good morning to you at home. not a site across northern parts of the uk. by by tomorrow in fact, the heat will become more widespread across most parts of the uk. this morning, we already have a strong sunshine around for many from the word go. look at this beautiful picture from an offer, just a little bit of serious cloud drifting. temperatures starting to rise. it will be heating up starting to rise. it will be heating up tomorrow. lots of sunshine tomorrow, dry weather. not everyone a fan of that, we could do a little rainfall but we aren't going to see any of that, certainly of the next
7:16 am
few days because this area of high pressure is in charge. keeping things mostly dry and settled. the cloud is thick enough for some drizzle this morning in north—west england, north of scotland and northern ireland. most cloud is breaking up through the afternoon, the sunshine becoming widespread later. strong sunshine, high levels of uv. rain lingering for the northern isles. look at this contrast in temperatures — 13 degrees, 26 down south. not quite as odd as it was yesterday. finals weekend at wimbledon. we aren't expecting the roof to be closed to keep the rain off, but it is looking heart. 26 today. tomorrow we could see 29, nearing 34 the men's final. lots of sunny, dry weather for wimbledon, as there is for much of the country. moving through this evening at overnight, rain lingering for northern scotland, particularly towards orkney, shetland. low cloud,
7:17 am
mist and broke through the roc coasts, and temperatures overnight following to between nine—14. —— irish sea coast. humidity not as high as it has been recently. through sunday, lots of sunshine, light wind. low cloud and murkiness on the west taking some time to burn away. in the afternoon we are looking at long spells are very strong sunshine. in the south—east, warmer, 29, 30 as possible in and across scotland, northern ireland. temperatures up to 21. warming here of the next few days. high—pressure sticks webinars, keeping things dry and hot. overnight. a5 sticks webinars, keeping things dry and hot. overnight. as we head into my do, whether front moving and hot. overnight. as we head into my do, whetherfront moving in and hot. overnight. as we head into my do, whether front moving in from the north—west. monday will be a hot, dry day for most. 32, possibly 33 down towards london and the south—east. it will be a warm day wherever you are. cool and cloudy across the far north of scotland. a
7:18 am
weak weather front slipping south through tuesday night into wednesday, not bringing useful rainfall but perhaps cooler conditions through the middle part of the week. potentially hotting up once again later in the week, and towards next weekend. we consider blue skies there with you, just as sarah predicted. looks like a lovely day! yes, welcome. it is already warm here. later, the candy floss, the ice creams will be following. behind me, the rides and the dodgers will be open but we can't take you to the pier without showing you first the penny pushes. this is katie, already cleaning, getting it ready for the day. let's come and see the beach, the beautiful star. the tide is currently out. high tide, perfect. it is around lunchtime so people
7:19 am
will be here with picnics, having a lovely swim. that's quickly before he goes to bed meet aaron. good morning! you have been on a night shift. i have. you look after the pier, what was it like when you came to work at seven o'clock last night? picturesque because you have people with picnics on the sea was in. yes, _ with picnics on the sea was in. yes. empty— with picnics on the sea was in. yes, empty beach now but by lunchtime it will be full? yes, the sun is out so people will come _ yes, the sun is out so people will come out — come out. everyone will come in! come out. — everyone will come in! wherever you are watching this morning, let us just finish by showing you this beautiful beach. the sea is currently out. as we say, high tide is about midday. it won't be long before the beach fills up. no harm to just before the beach fills up. no harm tojust be before the beach fills up. no harm to just be left there! it is nice there, isn't it? lovely. 7:19 am saturday morning. time for click.
7:20 am
it's one of the biggest events on the sporting calendar. the players — powerful, light of foot, lightning fast. it requires physical endurance and nerves of steel. and that's the reason that every year, the crowds spill out to watch wimbledon. you see that there? that is centre court and it's been in that spot now for exactly 100 years. a centre court centenary. indeed! nice line. i know how much you love wimbledon but are you like my aunt, who shouts at the tv for two weeks?
7:21 am
i absolutely love it and i absolutely am like your aunt. this is the most stressful two weeks of the year for me. my heart rate goes through the roof and i'm just watching the thing on tv. oh, you need one of my activity trackers. i've got a few to spare to track your heart rate. ah, yes! how did you get on with those? well, i'll tell you — and you — about that in a bit. right you are. yeah, wimbledon has been at the forefront of trialling new tech, both on and off the court, and we've been lucky enough to see a fair bit of it over the years. so, there is no better place to anchor our sports tech—themed show. and we're going to start with something for the fans. tech giant ibm has partnered with wimbledon for more than 30 years and this year, it's upgraded the official wimbledon app to tell the future. so, for each singles match here, match insight is going to try and predict the outcome of that match, who's going to win, yeah? it is, indeed. it's using, of course, the players' performance but it's also looking at what the media buzz is. we combine that with other stats, other data, like the player tracking and ball tracking that hawk—eye are doing, players' form, momentum, performance in the lead—up to and now
7:22 am
during the championships. the brains behind this app belong to watson, ibm's artificial intelligence. and after absorbing all the data and the chatter, it'll make a prediction that's totally separate from the official seedings. these predictions are not going to just favour the person who's the highest ranked? no, and that's where it actually gets interesting because ours is very much of the moment. it's updated daily, so it enables us to suggest ones to watch. helpful if, like me, you really only know your rafas and your raducanus. but that's not going to stop me from using the app to make my own match prediction. ok, here we go — burridge versus tsurenko. ooh, blimey, that's uk versus ukraine. it's eurovision all over again. the trusted media, the experts, think that tsurenko is going to win. the fans predict that burridge is going to win — no surprise there. i think burridge has a better chance, slightly, and watson says that tsurenko
7:23 am
has a better chance. sighs i guess we'll see. now, sports like lawn tennis can seem like they're mainly aimed at older spectators which, of course, is nonsense — look at me, for example — but wimbledon has always tried to engage with younger audiences and this year, that means putting it in roblox. this is the first time that centre court has been built for digital tennis on the platform, which means its 54 million daily active users can knock up on the world—famous grass. nearly half of roblox users are under the age of 13, so this could catch young minds. right, so, earlier, i used the app to make a match prediction, and so did ibm's ai watson, and the results are now in, and... ah. well, i hope i didn'tjinx it, but tsurenkojust beat burridge 6—2, 6—3. which means that prediction i made earlier... yeah. watson is currently beating me 1—0. and throughout the fortnight,
7:24 am
that al should get even smarter because it's going to be reading all of the discussions and the media coverage about injuries, players' health and their general performance, and that means we can do something quite exciting. now, i'm filming this quite early in the wimbledon fortnight but we're putting the finishing touches to this programmejust before the singles semifinals, and that means that we can put on screen for you who watson thinks is going to win those matches. i've got no idea what you're looking at now, but by the time you watch this, you will know how it did. now, some might find apps like this a bit gimmicky, but if they can get fans of all ages engaging with tennis, well, that can only be a good thing in my book. but let's change sport completely now. several years back, i tested what were then four of the leading activity trackers. even though i'm wearing them all, all the time, they don't have the same view of how many footsteps
7:25 am
i've taken. so, i decided it was time to put some of the latest devices to the test to see how they fare. i have the apple series 7 watch, the fitbit sense, and the oura third—generation ring. i'm going to focus on steps, sleep and calories. but, of course, devices can do so much more now — measuring heart rate, temperature, taking ecg5 and judging how stressed or ready for the day they think we are. it's day one. last night, i slept with the devices on. i thought the two smartwatches were going to feel a bit bulky but actually, i slept really well. i didn't even notice them. it's too early for me to think too much about the data but already throughout the day today, there has been quite a difference in the number of steps that the apple watch and fitbit think i've done. the apple watch thinks i've done fewer, and this does seem to be a bit of a theme with people that i know who wear both the devices. so, let's see how that plays out throughout the week. i knew that my husband's fitbit was counting too many steps!
7:26 am
i even swapped the apple watch to my dominant wrist and changed the settings suitably. it did slightly reduce the discrepancy, but the fitbit and the oura were still a bit more generous on step count. it's day three now and i'd like to talk about sleep. the oura ring seems to think that i've had a similar amount of sleep to the fitbit — just about a ten or 15—minute difference — but the apple watch thinks i've had nearly an hour less, so there is quite a substantial difference in count there. all three of the devices break down your sleep quality. the fitbit�*s timing and scoring on deep and rem sleep, as well as your level of restoration, were really clearly presented. but the oura took this to another level, warning me to pay attention and adding a sleep score. apple tracks all of this, too, but digging out the data retrospectively did feel more effort. and by the end of the week, the data told the story that sensors have improved over the
7:27 am
years, as have the algorithms. seven years back, there was a difference of 3,000 calories between devices at the end of the week. here, the difference was more of a bowl of cereal, rather than a whole packet of it, and i am assuming that if they all say something similar, that that is pretty accurate. overall, the fitbit counted around 4% more steps than the apple watch, and the oura ring another 1—2% on top of that. the sleep data had varied between devices. adding it all up over the course of a week, there was a two—hour, 17—minute discrepancy between the fitbit and the oura, with apple somewhere in between. so, this time around, i've come away from the experiment feeling a little bit different. instead of it being a question of are they accurate or not, it's more a matter of which device would you rather wear? it's definitely easy to track your sleep in a ring, whereas if you want to see your data throughout the day, well, i personally like to be
7:28 am
able to look at my wrist rather than my phone for it. the apple watch, well, it's a perfect player in the prism that is the apple ecosystem, so if you use apple, well, it fits very well with that. but i can't really knock the interface on the fitbit. now, here's paul, who's been exploring body tracking for everyone. beyond wristbands and wearables, artificial intelligence is often now used to also help athletes understand and improve their game. and in london, one start—up has developed a smartphone app to make this kind of training more inclusive. can you tell me a little bit about what teamsportz i5 and what it is that you do? i grew up playing basketball in a very deprived environment, so i built a technology for anyone else in the world where you might have very limited access to technology. training is for individuals and teams, using artificial intelligence to detect disabled and non—disabled users.
7:29 am
where are your arms, where are your legs, and where is your torso? and if you don't have the arms or the legs or the movement on those limbs or whatever it might be, the model will still be able to render a human body. movements are then interpreted as activities like squats or push—ups. you don't suffer from the same bias that al often brings. so, i guess the big question is, do you reckon the system will be able to track me? i'm confident that it will. look at that! it's got me! i didn't think it would. helpfully, the app can link to a big screen. so, those targets will appear randomly, so you can't guess where they are, so you actually have to exercise. god, i wish i could — i am so unfit! the skeleton overlay, over your body, that's the ai model. i don't think it's having to work too hard to know i'm going not very fast at the minute. wheelchair user karina has been testing the app in exercise sessions with disability sports uk. cheering
7:30 am
go, karina! a music lover, karina certainly has the moves, though i'm not sure we agreed on everything. laughs. coach emma's classes combine all kinds of movement, dance and ball activities with this new technology, and settings can be adjusted to suit each person's motor or cognitive needs. a lot of members, when they first come, are quite in their shell and not very confident different things like this, that our members get a chance to have a go at, really makes a big difference to just their overall outlook and their belief in what they can achieve. technologies like the ones seen today aren't the answer for everyone but, for disabled people who traditionally have been excluded from access to sports and fitness, the benefits are obvious.
7:31 am
if it can get me off the sofa, it's doing something right! and the class does seem to think so, too. we want more of this one day, i hope. when you try hard, you can keep getting better, better, better. good to see everyone getting sporty and paul's been put through his paces there. exactly! what with him doing that and you doing your activity tracking, i'm starting to feel guilty i'm not doing any exercise. ah, well, that feeling is gone. i'm going to watch some tennis now. 0h, 0k, fine. well, that's it for the short version of the programme — the full—length show can be found on iplayer — and we'll be back next week. thanks for watching. bye— bye. yes!
7:32 am

7:45 am
look at the history, league and union split. they couldn't afford to miss work, rugby union is very different so we have a very regional identity. it is something that we have strayed away from. we should be so proud that rugby league has survived in some really tough social environments, but you need to look at the history of spot to understand the history and why does the waiters. it is number one in australia, the paparazzi value around. fora guy australia, the paparazzi value around. for a guy from where i am from, that is so uncomfortable. i think it has an opportunity at the back end of this year with the world cup to reallyjust get in the forefront of people's mind because it is a beautiful sport. what we have seen, how the game treats people, it is how they treat everybody. you have soldered very well. i would love for you to come.

7:50 am
it would normally have been for the news at six to break the news immediately, but those tuning in to watch the programme instead found that it had been postponed, with tennis being shown on both bbc one and bbc two. it was almost 20 past six before bbc�*s main channel got to report what had happened. reporter: breaking news this evening, the chancellor rishi l sunak and the health secretary sajid javid resign from cabinet, telling the prime minister that the tone he sets reflects on his colleagues and party. paula, steven, and first sue recorded their responses on video. i switched on my television at six o'clock in the evening expecting to see the early evening news. instead, i found that bbc one was staying with wimbledon and continuing to cover the norrie—goffin tennis match. i don't begrudge cameron norrie his well—deserved victory, but why does the bbc insist
7:51 am
on sacrificing regular programmes, including the news, on the alter of sport worship? currently we have a government in crisis, a world in turmoil, people in britain worried about how they're going to pay for their bills, and the bbc thinks it's prudent to show a tennis match instead of the news. can somebodyjust explain the reasoning behind that decision? bbc, this really. isn't good enough. bbc one is our flagship news programme. - i know you have the 24—hour news, it's not accessible - to everyone, and certainly it| took me a good five minutes or so to hunt around to make sure i had the right channel. i the news on tuesday- and in the subsequent days since has been important, and it's an ever—changing i situation. i love sport. i am so, so proud of our
7:52 am
sportsmen and women i that they are doing so well, i i really am, and i acknowledge that sometimes sport, in itself, is news. - but the news can't be predicted and it should never, _ ever be bumped for sport. thank you to paula, sue and steven. we asked to speak to someone about the decision to postpone tuesday's news at six, and more widely the practice of live sports events displacing scheduled news bulletins, but our invitation was declined. instead we were given the statement.
7:53 am
by thursday morning, bbc one had joined forces to simulcast with the news channel and so was able to report this as it happened. we will wait to see what downing street officially say on camera. we are hearing though now from chris mason, the bbc�*s political editor that borisjohnson is going to resign as prime minister. some viewers feel the media, including the bbc, have had a role to play in the political demise of borisjohnson over the past few days, with dom emerson writingz. daphne with another animal analogy:
7:54 am
and john crawford wrote: others were much more positive. liz green told us: dominic ponsford from the press gazette added: as the resignations were mounting up around him and while a bbc team was stationed in downing street, borisjohnson had an uncomfortable meeting on wednesday afternoon with the house of commons liaison committee. we are— we are doing some fantastic things for the people in this country and we'll do... audio drops.
7:55 am
studio reporter: we will 'ust pull away from the liaison h committee meeting for a moment. street reporter: are you here today to tell. the prime minister it's time to go? i crosstalk. is it time up - for borisjohnson? paul wilson contacted us about this. a hardy perennial of newswatch complaints, asking... it's no surprise that events in downing street have dominated the bbc�*s news app this week, and although other stories have been covered, some viewers feel some of them haven't featured prominently enough. john chamberlain for instance sent us this polite query on thursday morning. later that day, the 17th
7:56 am
anniversary of the july 7th bomb attacks in london. mr brown e—mailed: understand one thing — it's about to get real hectic up here. there's another story this week about the former radio i dj tim westwood. bbc news has reported before on allegations against him of sexual misconduct, which he has denied. and on monday, chi chi izundu was on the case again. back in april, in a statement to our investigation, the bbc said: the very next day, the director—general tim debbie went on to say... i've seen no evidence of complaints.
7:57 am
i've seen no evidence— i've seen no evidence of complaints. i've asked and we— we looked at our records and we've seen no evidence. but it turns out there was evidence, because the bbc now says it received six complaints of which at least one was raised before the allegations were broadcast, in fact, it had been referred to police. the bbc initially refused to provide a response to a freedom of information request about westwood's conduct made by its own news division. chi chi izundu then challenged that decision, and the new details about the complaints then emerged. the bbc now says that an internal enquiry is ongoing and that the director—general had set out the position as he understood it at the time. and this is what a spokesperson said in april. we hope to discuss all this
7:58 am
with chi chi izundu or anyone else from the bbc involved in the case, but we're told that it's not possible at this time. we hope to return to the subject. but in the meantime, here are some comments from viewers, the first , topically perhaps, as the uk prime minister. on a happier note, there was a big response on social media last week when lukwesa burak presented this bbc bulletin. good afternoon, borisjohnson says he will not undergo what he calls a psychological transformation of his character. speaking to the bbc, the prime minister insisted that policy was more important than personality. so what was it about that appearance that made it go viral? it was the presenter�*s hairstyle which prompted messages of support including this from merisesher.
7:59 am
the presenter who says she was told her afro—textured hair was too ethnic when she first started working at the bbc tweeted. hair may be something to admire in a news presenter. feet — not so much, especially when they're seen like this. ros atkins: a couple - of details, we know another couple of cabinet ministers have gone into number 10. one of them was nadine dorries who came outjust a few minutes ago, and we all shouted, "are you supporting the prime "minister?" the explanation that briefly, with his feet on the desk, was tim willcox, the back—up presenter in the studio, while ros atkins was presenting outside source on location from downing street. a technical hitch meant the broadcast cut to the studio camera at an inopportune moment, but the response on twitter was forgiving.
8:00 am

8:03 am
candidates are expecting to announce their intention to run, as our political correspondent, lone wells, reports. will you be standing for the leadership? who is in the running to be the next tory party leader? are you going to be the next prime minister? some, like former chancellor rishi sunak, have publicly said they will be. he launched his bid in a slick video on friday. that's why i'm standing to be the next leader of the conservative party and your prime minister. he was the second cabinet minister to resign from borisjohnson's government, and says his campaign will focus on integrity. he has had the backing of some prominent conservative mps already. he's got the right values. he is competent, he's honest. and i think he's the sort of conservative i want to see. he believes in cutting taxes, but he's going to be honest with people. we can only cut taxes if we control

spending and if we get growth going in the economy. rishi sunakjoined backbench tory mp tom dougan hart and attorney general suella braverman. last night ms baudenach also announced she would be running. and others who also sat in borisjohnson's government like sajid javid, liz truss, nadhim zahawi, priti patel and grant shapps are among those said to be seriously considering bids. some have been privately shoring up support among mp colleagues, and are expected to announce their bids in the coming days. first, fellow tory mps here in westminster will whittle down the long list of contenders. then, in previous contests, conservative members have had a vote to decide between final two. the full process and timetable is expected to be announced next week. but it is expected that a new prime minister will be in place by september. as temperatures are set to soar this weekend, the leadership race is hotting up to. those who want to lead the country now need to spend their summer battling it out.

lone wells, bbc news. we're joined now by conservative mp steve baker, who announced last night he's backing attorney general, suella braverman, to take the top job. just to take the top job. clarify for us, some people if they just clarify for us, some people if they are well tuned in, might know that i think you had indicated that you are interested in thejob. what you are interested in the 'ob. what chan . ed? you are interested in the 'ob. what changed? good h you are interested in the job. twat changed? good morning, thank you are interested in the job. “yr"uat changed? good morning, thank you for having me on. what changed is that i flushed out that i would not be able to win. i was very clear that i was realistic, that without cabinet experience is difficult for anyone to get into the last two, as much as i would love to seriously run, i will get the prime minister i want with suella braverman. i am so excited and enthusiastic to back someone with all the skills and talents and belief, so i'm delighted to back her. i would have been a candidate without hope of reaching the last two, so i don't want to waste any time by standing when i
8:06 am
wouldn't make the last two. ok. wouldn't make the last two. ok, suella braverman. _ wouldn't make the last two. 0k, suella braverman. what are the qualities that make you so certain that she, above all others, is the one? ,, . , that she, above all others, is the one? ,, ., , ., that she, above all others, is the one? ,, .,, ., ., that she, above all others, is the one? ,, ., ., . one? she has got a fierce resolve, ureat one? she has got a fierce resolve, great authenticity, _ one? she has got a fierce resolve, great authenticity, all— one? she has got a fierce resolve, great authenticity, all the - one? she has got a fierce resolve, great authenticity, all the right - great authenticity, all the right conservative values and beliefs. she is a thoroughly likeable, decent and honest person, the sort of person who, under stressful situations, always bounces back with a smile. i've seen it time and time again. in the last seven years, in the role i have had, working with backbench colleagues through thick and thin in moments of crisis, she is the one person above all who has made the right calls because of her meticulous grasp of detail, and stood by them through thick and thin with absolute resolve, and a smile on her face, with absolute resolve, and a smile on herface, pressing forward. when even i wobbled over a bad brexit deal that would have destroyed the conservative party and letjeremy corbyn in, it was suella braverman who stood firm and talked me round.
8:07 am
she is great. it's a curious situation we find ourselves in because you are promoting her, she is not speaking for herself in this moment in time and i am asking you about her. we talk about integrity, and there was a lot of talk about integrity at the moment, so why is it that suella braverman was fully behind the prime minister until wednesday the 6th ofjuly. she then said it was untenable for him to continue. he had handled matters appallingly. does that not beg the question as to where was her judgment at the time of the prime minister raking the law when he said he had not broken the law? when he said to parliament that no laws were broken. where does that leave her judgment over that period of time? you and i will both know, and the public i hope will know, that when ministers serve in the government they have to accept collective responsibility. as she said on that wednesday evening interview, the business of the government “5 law goes on, and she was right to stay
8:08 am
in post and make sure she could meet legal deadlines which support the work of the government. the government has to go on in this country. the attorney general is a crucial part of that. i’m country. the attorney general is a crucial part of that.— crucial part of that. i'm sorry, we are at cross _ crucial part of that. i'm sorry, we are at cross purposes. _ crucial part of that. i'm sorry, we are at cross purposes. i'm - crucial part of that. i'm sorry, we are at cross purposes. i'm going | are at cross purposes. i'm going backin are at cross purposes. i'm going back in time, i am not talking about her decision to stay in the role. i“m her decision to stay in the role. i'm going back in time and you are talking about integrity and why you back her. my question is, why she was knocked more critical of the prime minister when many other people were, and indeed now that she has said what she has about him, people will be wondering, well why didn't she come out sooner with what she knew and what she thought? melly she knew and what she thought? well, she knew and what she thought? well, she is entitled — she knew and what she thought? well, she is entitled to _ she knew and what she thought? well, she is entitled to take _ she knew and what she thought? well, she is entitled to take a _ she knew and what she thought? j! she is entitled to take a view as situations develop. i took a slightly different view, as people know. but part of that is about the politics of how he was conducting himself, and how we view his ability to change. there was a good job of shifting the dynamic in downing street and moving things on, but i've long since come to the
8:09 am
conclusion that boris would not be able to change and suella braverman had a different view. 50 able to change and suella braverman had a different view.— had a different view. so she was wron: , had a different view. so she was wrong, effectively. _ had a different view. so she was wrong, effectively. you - had a different view. so she was wrong, effectively. you are - had a different view. so she was i wrong, effectively. you are dancing around the wording here, you are admitting yourself that she was wrong and you were right. h0. admitting yourself that she was wrong and you were right. no, i would not _ wrong and you were right. no, i would not put — wrong and you were right. no, i would not put it _ wrong and you were right. no, i would not put it like _ wrong and you were right. no, i would not put it like that - wrong and you were right. no, i would not put it like that at - wrong and you were right. no, i would not put it like that at all i wrong and you were right. no, i l would not put it like that at all as you would well expect. suella braverman is attorney general, she has been in the cabinet. you would expect a cabinet minister to back the prime minister. it“s expect a cabinet minister to back the prime minister. it's a decision that they have to take under collective responsibility, or resign. i would collective responsibility, or resign. iwould not collective responsibility, or resign. i would not have expected her to resign over any of the issues that went on throughout this process, partly for the reasons she gave. it“s process, partly for the reasons she gave. it's important people understand that collective responsibility is part of what keeps our government is stable, and it is particular important from a law officer that they are not out there taking strident positions on policy because they are there to advise privately on the law. that put her in a particular position so i am completely satisfied that she has behaved entirely properly and well throughout this process. i am proud

8:12 am
is too high at their current levels and will be doing more harm than good at these levels. unfortunate because his record is saying he wants low taxes but then puts them up, he has now got to double down on that record during his campaign and that record during his campaign and that leaves him in an unfortunate bind. throughout his time in parliament, and throughout his time as chancellor, he and i have been close. i've often been glad that he has asked me for my advice and i respect him, but i recognise that he is now forced by his record to adopt a policy position on tax with which i profoundly disagree. if we keep on with tax at this level and state spending at this level, if we just keep on taxing and taxing, we are never going to get the growth that we need to meet the age—related spending promises we have in the long term. if we don't turn this country around and start cutting taxes as soon as we possibly can, i“m taxes as soon as we possibly can, i'm afraid the tax levels that rishi sunak now stands for are going to do more harm than good, and we have got to get off that track. more of the same on the economy i“m to get off that track. more of the same on the economy i'm afraid won't

8:15 am
whether they actually acted quickly enough. of course, two gunshots were fired. the first one actually missed shinzo abe, but the second shot caught him in his neck and ended up killing him. so, a lot of discussion about whether that was a good idea for senior politicians like him to be out on the street, campaigning as part of the election campaign. so, a lot of discussion going on, but at the same time, a lot of members of the same time, a lot of members of the public were outside his residence here to pay tribute as well. ~ ., ., ~ ., ., well. what do we know of the gunmen? ve little well. what do we know of the gunmen? very little so — well. what do we know of the gunmen? very little so far- _ well. what do we know of the gunmen? very little so far. he _ well. what do we know of the gunmen? very little so far. he is _ well. what do we know of the gunmen? very little so far. he is 41, _ well. what do we know of the gunmen? very little so far. he is 41, as _ well. what do we know of the gunmen? very little so far. he is 41, as i - very little so far. he is 41, as i said, and he is a former member of the self defence force, so he does have military training. but i was also reading articles that he only spent a few years at the self defence force and during that time a lot of experts said he would not have learned how to make a gun. of

8:17 am
yes! he exclaimed, predictably on twitter. but a lot has happened since then. elon musk has had a very public spat with twitter“s chief executive, parag agrawal. twitter does have a problem with fake accounts, sometimes known as bots. what elon musk wanted to know was how many users, actual people, does twitter have. in a filing to the market regulator, he claimed the responses he had received from twitter weren't adequate. that twitter was in breach of contract and that he was pulling out of the deal. but twitter“s board hit back, saying mr musk couldn't pull out of the deal and that they expected the sale to go through at the price agreed. i imagine there's some very dramatic talks happening as we speak but unless something comes to fruition over the weekend, they come to some kind of terms on maybe a renegotiated price for this deal, i would imagine a lawsuit is either being drafted currently and being filed or will be filed on monday. there has been speculation that
8:18 am
mr musk has an ulterior motive here. with the economy looking worse than it was, the deal was looking increasingly like a bad one for the world's richest man. whether mr musk now has to buy twitter will be decided in the us court with some very expensive lawyers, which, fortunately for him, elon musk can very much afford. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. for those of you who like sunshine and like it hot, you will enjoy this. good morning, sarah. good morning. if you have got plans this weekend, you will be pleased to hear things look dry and sunny, but we could do with a bit of rain for our gardens. but none of that in the forecast for most of us over the next few days. the heat will build through the weekend. already warm and sunny in hampshire, as it is across much of the uk. more clout in
8:19 am
the north and west, but through the weekend, lots of sunshine breaking through, and very warm, politically by tomorrow. so, high pressure very much in charge of our weather at the moment. light winds and a weather front to the north of scotland, so thick cloud for the north and west of scotland and northern ireland. some outbreaks of patchy rain, physically towards the northern isles later on. for the rest of the uk, the cloud breaking up in the west, and just look at those temperatures. highs up to 26 towards london and the south—east. a touchdown on yesterday. further north, the high teens or late 20s. a little cooler in the very far north where we have cloud and outbreaks of rain. it is finals weekend at wimbledon, and for the women's final we are looking at highs of 26 celsius, so yes, it will be warm. but not as hot as tomorrow, possibly up but not as hot as tomorrow, possibly up to 30 celsius on centre court for the men's final. through this
8:20 am
evening and overnight, clear and dry conditions. a little bit of low cloud and messiness developing but that should burn away fairly quickly. overnight lows 9—14, so still fairly warm, but not too humid. we will start to see more humid, sticky night developing through the coming week. on sunday, more sunshine from the word go. any cloud around the irish sea coast quickly clear away, so it will be a hot day, critically towards the south—east. up to 30 celsius possible. scotland and northern ireland, highs in the low 20s. a little cooler where we keep the cloud and breeze across the far north of scotland. sunday night and into monday, high pressure stays with us. a weather front pushing in from the north—west, so monday will be cloudy and a bit breezy with a patchy range of the far north—west of scotland, but the rest of the uk, another day of hot sunshine, and temperature is really starting to
8:21 am
build. 32 in the south—east and 22 in parts of scotland. we are likely to see heatwave criteria being met across several regions. cooler and fresher for a time across several regions. cooler and fresherfor a time in across several regions. cooler and fresher for a time in the across several regions. cooler and fresherfor a time in the middle of the week as a weather front pushes south. not bringing much in the way of useful rainfall, but it will mean that things are a touch cooler as we head into thursday. a bit of rain in the north and west, but then those temperatures once again on the art as we head towards next weekend. so lots of hot and dry weather for the next week, also. thank you, sarah. a major new programme to train ukrainian army recruits has begun in the uk, as part of a package of military aid totalling more than £2 billion. as part of a package of military aid the ministry of defence says it aims to prepare up to 10,000 ukrainians for the conflict against russia. simonjones has been to visit one of the training sites in the north west of england. replace the tmh at the front and make sure the pins... just days ago, these recruits from ukraine had never before picked up a weapon.
8:22 am
plumbers, electricians, office workers, now being put through their paces in the north—west of england by british soldiers. the training will teach weapons handling, first—aid, battlefield tactics under the law of armed conflict. it is serious training, because it is an important part of our upcoming life and the more skills we learn here, the better we will be prepared, and i do feel a high level of responsibility, in front of my people and my family and all my relatives, simply because i am here to be prepared to defend them. the plan is to train 10,000 ukrainians and 120 days, at mod sites across the uk. the british government says it is part of a package of military aid totalling more than £2 billion. many of the british soldiers passing on their skills have previously had
8:23 am
tours of duty in ukraine themselves. i really feel like we're making a difference, they came to us essentially as civilians. now three days into a training programme they have started acting like soldiers, thinking like soldiers, they have started speaking to us like soldiers. borisjohnson and the ukrainian president have enjoyed a close relationship. but, given the recent political turmoil in the uk, the government has this message for president zelensky. britain is full square behind them. the assistance we give is not just one person, not me, not the prime minister, it is the whole effort. we have the british army up here today, up in the north of england, training ukrainians on what it needs to do. this next generation are being issued with body armour and first—aid kits to take back with them, trying to prepare the troops for life on the front line. simon jones, bbc news. meanwhile, russia is preparing for a new offensive to try and capture the rest of the industrial donbas region in ukraine. we can speak now to our correspondent, joe inwood
8:24 am
who joins us from kyiv. i“m i'm very mindful of the issues of grain exports, and the day—to—day running of ukraine and the impact on the rest of the world, and of course, the internal battle, the defence it is putting up against russia. , y, y, defence it is putting up against russia. , ., ., ., , russia. yes, and at the moment, they are at a preparation _ russia. yes, and at the moment, they are at a preparation phase _ russia. yes, and at the moment, they are at a preparation phase in - russia. yes, and at the moment, they are at a preparation phase in the i are at a preparation phase in the east. the donbas is still the russian focus, that is where they are going to be putting their forces. but at the moment, after the punishing battles that they had for various cities, they seem to be something in a regrouping phase, so at the moment we are seeing some shelling, some fighting on the ground, but really, it is quite quiet at the moment. both sides are basically trying to recover their strength. from the ukrainian perspective, the crucial thing there is getting in new equipment. today, the americans announced another $400 million included in that are for new
8:25 am
precision multiple launch rocket systems. that brings the total they are going to have up to 12. that doesn't sound like much, but they are very, very high—tech and very precise. our understanding is that they are making a real difference in terms of hitting russian supply lines. the reason that matters is because, as i say, the russians are regrouping, gathering their strength, and those that supply lines are going to be crucial. what we're seeing now is a war of attrition in the east, and it is a question of which side can avoid being ground down. thank you. the cost of living is climbing at the fastest rate for decades — impacting the way we eat, socialise, shop and travel. it has forced many of us to rethink our spending habits, especially when it comes to food. our personal finance correspondent, kevin peachey, has been finding out what it means for families with growing teenagers to feed. colwyn bay, wartime home of the ministry of food. as with many other places, rationing here is now self—imposed
8:26 am
by families trying to keep their heads above water while struggling with the rising cost—of—living. for claire, cutting back is hard with two hungry teenagers at home. we've got the everyday essentials instead of the really nice jam. going for the home brand? we are, yeah, we are now. my fridge isn't full like it used to be. we've very much cut back on all the treats, like the biscuits, crisps and things, they've all gone. so it's now, my fridge, it's more meal items rather than anything else. farfrom being the problem, 18—year—old oscar is part of the solution. morning! thanks to award—winning finance lessons in school. we're going to do a quick task on addressing the cost—of—living, because the rising cost—of—living that's happening at the moment. the last time prices were rising at the rate they are today was 40 years ago, long before these teenagers were born,
8:27 am
but the lessons they're learning in and out of the classroom now should help their finances for years to come. take a seat. so how's that change their attitude to money? with your banking on your phone, you're pay attention to it now and you're seeing where all these payments are going, it's a bit of a stroke really. i think a lot of people just think it's an issue for later on in life when it is an issue for now. are you getting pressure from parents? cut down on the electricity, yeah. stop falling asleep with the tele on most of the time. don't leave the tele on when you leave the room. taking your phone off. make sure your lights are off when you leave the house. i've definitely taught my mum some things about finances. she's gone, “'wow, i didn't know anything about this, how do you know about this?" the finance lessons are to make the children more aware more aware of what's going on when they get out into the real world and when they've got to manage their own money. do you hope that they take what they learn here home
8:28 am
with them, too? yes, absolutely, yeah. there's a big gap the financial literacy of people inside of school and outside of school. i do feel that the gap needs filling and if i can fill that via the classroom and via the pupils in the classroom, then great. as prices continue to rise, these are lessons nobody can afford to ignore. kevin peachey, bbc news. six weeks ago, a cellist from cumbria called kenneth set off on his bike with an ambitious plan in mind — to cycle all the way to the vatican. well, after almost 2,000 miles of peddling and playing his way across europe — he's done it. he's been telling phil chapman about the journey. after more than 1800 miles in the saddle and many hours playing his beloved cello through europe, the roman authorities gave kenneth permission to play in st peter's square after finishing his incredible musical journey from cumbria. from the edge of empire to the heart of empire, i have arrived. and i am tired. i played in front of the leaning tower of pisa. we just negotiated
8:29 am
with the police and they let us play in st peter's square in front of the vatican, to prove that i did actually make it. kenneth“s daughter, jenny, waved him off in cumbria at the end of may and, as she lives in rome, she said ciao to her dad again when he arrived in the eternal city. it'sjust incredible. it's restored my faith in humanity, that someone can do something like that and the offerings of support and cups of tea and help along the way have just been amazing. i've had so much help and encouragement along the way, from the time when i went to the wrong place for a concert. i discovered there were two places with the same name and i went to the wrong one. somebody came and rescued me and got me to the right place, just a little bit late for the concert so i had to go on in my cycling gear and perform. that was good fun. so, what inspired kenneth to take on his epic trip? i can't remember, it just seemed like a good idea at the time. i suddenly thought, let's go on a bike, take the cello. there is an album to go with this,
8:30 am
the whole project is called highway cello and the album is called highway cello. to be honest, it is not so much about the biking, really it is about the cello. here we are in the sunshine, i havejust had a coffee, winding down, about to fall asleep. it has been a most amazing journey. and after a quick nap, when in rome what better way for a cycling cellist to relax than with a glass of limoncello? cheers! phil chapman, bbc news. such a lovely sound and in that setting as well.— such a lovely sound and in that setting as well. such a lovely sound and in that settin: as well. ., , ., .., , setting as well. lots more coming up with news and _ setting as well. lots more coming up with news and sport. _

we are definitely seeing an increased transmission rate, and we are seeing increased prevalence of covid—19. so with every wave, it might be a matter ofjust — let's be prepared, let's be ready, and let's watch and see what happens. hospitals are grappling with yet another big rise in infections. in basingstoke“s emergency department, 27 people tested positive today, up from 12 on a single day last week. it seems like we were getting used to having less positive tests, and this has been an unexpected rise. the numbers have quadrupled in the last month, and over half of the people are coming in with symptoms of covid, and that's quite a change. previously we'd been picking up covid on our screening, but now we're seeing them come in more sick, more hypoxic, and needing oxygen therapy. david has been cared for here overnight. he tested negative on arrival.
8:33 am
people who've got vaccines, like myself, they, um... they think they're immune. but i hear of people all the time still catching it, and they're off work for several weeks. for clinically vulnerable patients covid is still a risk, and it is still a risk to life. do you think the public is aware that covid is still a risk to life? i think they're aware that covid is still here, but i think it's not necessarily at the forefront of what everybody's doing, because people have moved on ever so slightly, so no, i don't believe they realise it's still a risk to life and can, even if not a risk to life, can have some significant long—term effects for patients. covid care has been constant on this ward for two and a half years. it“s again at capacity. you were here a year ago, compared withjuly last year, we are busier. if you'd asked me last year about this year, i would have said that i'd hope it would be better.
8:34 am
so i'm going to cling on to the hope that next year, this time, it should be better. fingers crossed. well, nobody here expects the very high patient numbers we have seen in previous waves, though staff here warn that people are still falling very ill. this rise is likely to continue for several weeks, so any hopes of respite for staff this summer are sadly fading. planned operations are continuing for now, but the combination of pressures mean beds at basingstoke and winchester are in such high demand. this trust hasn't cared for so many patients since april 2020, when the pandemic first took hold. alistair fee, bbc news. saffron cordery, interim chief executive of nhs providersjoins us now from basingstoke. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. we got a snapshot there of how covid is affecting
8:35 am
hospital cases. what are you witnessing?— hospital cases. what are you witnessinr? ~ , ., witnessing? absolutely and indeed that is my local— witnessing? absolutely and indeed that is my local hospital _ witnessing? absolutely and indeed that is my local hospital that i witnessing? absolutely and indeed that is my local hospital that we i that is my local hospital that we are talking about there. that is typical of what we are hearing from the trust leaders up and down the country. we know that when rates of covid arise in the community, that means that they're going to rise in terms of hospital admissions. and we have seen around 34% increase in the number of new admissions into hospital over the last week across england. and it isjumping around 33% in a single day. and that does really increase the pressure on everything that hospitals and other health care providers are doing. i think the other thing we need to keep an eye on is that those who are requiring mechanical ventilation. that is up 10%. so it is not the big jumps that we are seeing in line with the rise in rates overall but it is still pretty challenging stop
8:36 am
and sadly of course we are seeing increases in deaths, they're going up increases in deaths, they're going up slowly, 1% week on week. but of course every death is a sad occasion and i think we have to remember that whilst we are living with covid, covid has not gone away and it has serious consequences. what covid has not gone away and it has serious consequences.— serious consequences. what is actually being _ serious consequences. what is actually being done _ serious consequences. what is actually being done on - serious consequences. what is actually being done on a i serious consequences. what is i actually being done on a practical level now to protect hospitals? and i do know that some have reintroduced wearing face coverings for example. reintroduced wearing face coverings for example-— reintroduced wearing face coverings for example. absolutely. and i think we are seeing _ for example. absolutely. and i think we are seeing changes _ for example. absolutely. and i think we are seeing changes on _ for example. absolutely. and i think we are seeing changes on a - for example. absolutely. and i think we are seeing changes on a regional| we are seeing changes on a regional and local basis, according to the prevalence that we are seeing across communities. so it is absolutely right that in local hospitals and in local health care settings we are seeing people reintroducing the wearing of masks patients when they come in and theirfamilies wearing of masks patients when they come in and their families and carers. because it is absolutely critical that we stop the spread of this. we aren't seeing the kind of restrictions that we saw before and
8:37 am
that does mean that we need to think about how we manage this in a more localised way. llit about how we manage this in a more localised way-— localised way. in terms of what can be done in — localised way. in terms of what can be done in the _ localised way. in terms of what can be done in the community, - localised way. in terms of what can be done in the community, when . localised way. in terms of what can be done in the community, when itj be done in the community, when it comes to vaccinations for example, it is not quite clear as to the vulnerable groups being offered this in the autumn but it is not being spread more widely. do you think that would help? l spread more widely. do you think that would help?— spread more widely. do you think that would help? i think that we do see that direct _ that would help? i think that we do see that direct correlation - that would help? i think that we do see that direct correlation between j see that direct correlation between levels of vaccination and the numbers of patients who are suffering significantly and requiring very intensive hospital treatment. the one thing i would say is that when we get large numbers in the community, that automatically does translate into larger numbers of hospital admissions. i think what vaccinations do is decrease the severity particularly. but what we know is that there is an increase in
8:38 am
the number of older people who are being affected by this wave. and of those who are affected, one in six hasn't actually had the spring boosterjab. so those who haven't yet had the jab that they were entitled to really should go get that. but in terms of the roll—out from the autumn, we know that that is a decision that is taken by the jc vi, which oversees when and how vaccination should be rolled out. i think we are expecting a big roll—out in the autumn, potentially down to over 50s. and it is very important that we look at vaccinations as part of the overall package of measures that are taken to help us live with covid. because if we are operating in an environment where covid is with us, we have to remember that it is still a serious illness. and when you take that alongside flu and other winter illnesses i think we could see a situation over the winter that gets
8:39 am
pretty serious for the nhs. can you hel me pretty serious for the nhs. can you help me with _ pretty serious for the nhs. can you help me with something? - pretty serious for the nhs. can you help me with something? i - pretty serious for the nhs. can you help me with something? ijust i pretty serious for the nhs. can you j help me with something? ijust had to look up who our health secretary is at the moment and it is steve barclay. obviously, with all the stuff that has been going on in the last week politically with many things up in the air and now leadership campaign is being launched, how secure do you feel as the chief executive, the interim chief executive of nhs providers, that the message is getting through and that the health sector will be managed well ahead of what you feel could be problematic times in the winter? ~ , , ~ could be problematic times in the winter? ~ , ~ ~ ., ., winter? absolutely. we know that olitical winter? absolutely. we know that political turmoil _ winter? absolutely. we know that political turmoil can _ winter? absolutely. we know that political turmoil can lead - winter? absolutely. we know that political turmoil can lead to i political turmoil can lead to paralysis indecision making. we have only written to the secretary of state for health to set out what we think needs to be focused on and there are a number of immediate issues as well as longer—term issues. we highlighted only yesterday the need to make some big decisions on hospital rebuilds. what
8:40 am
we would urge the government to do is make sure that they carry on with the business that is in their in trays, no matter what their own internal wranglings are about their leader. thejob of internal wranglings are about their leader. the job of government needs to be done. and i think it is really important. i think what we have to remember is that alongside political decision—makers we have a civil service who will help to make sure that business does continue and put those important decisions in front of their politicians where they have them leading their departments. we do know that there are still some gaps across a number of departments but that is not the case in health. there have been a few health secretary is ever last few years. when it does change over how does it affect for example, nhs providers? so what we have to think about here is what is already on the stocks and what are people already planning for? and what might a new secretary of state decide to prioritise because that is his belief or her belief that that is the right way
8:41 am
forward. so what we fear when a new secretary of state comes in is that everything will be thrown out and we have to start again in terms of different priorities. but what we do know is that the fundamentals of running the nhs stay the same and thatis running the nhs stay the same and that is in the hands of nhs england, who oversees the running of the nhs. and it is also in the hands of very capable trust leaders. but we have had a new piece of legislation, which has just had a new piece of legislation, which hasjust gone had a new piece of legislation, which has just gone live over the last week or so. what we would want to make sure that we see from a new secretary of state is that steve barclay continues with the grain of that legislation in terms of system working and getting people to collaborate more, rather than thinking of brand—new priorities that take us in a different direction. because that doesn't help us focus attention and energy and prioritise effectively.—
8:42 am
prioritise effectively. interim chief executive _ prioritise effectively. interim chief executive of _ prioritise effectively. interim chief executive of nhs i prioritise effectively. interim i chief executive of nhs providers, good to talk to you. thank you for your time this morning. the time now is 841 am. let's go to mike, who is at wimbledon for us this morning. i'm watching closely. this is the shot we have of centre court. i“m this is the shot we have of centre court. i'm watching the chap who is going up and down, it appears to be with a broom. he is not mowing is he? what is he doing? well, i think he? what is he doing? well, i think he is mopping up moisture, making sure it is completely dry. i tell you what though, standing next to centre court, they'd be mowing the grass this morning, ifeel guilty not doing anything. but anybody who knows my gardening skills know that i tend to kill stuff in the garden so i'm better off talking and watching and admiring. he is putting moisture on it looks like now. maybe the dry patches. maybe he is not sweeping up. he is getting all perfect. i hope cam norrie who was
8:43 am
in action here yesterday afternoon can soak up the glory of his performance. he dominated the opening set against novak djokovic. djokovic looked rattled until he went to the bathroom and put his cap on and started coming back as the djokovic we know. when you think that djokovic hasn't lost a match here since 2017 it is perhaps no surprise that he was too strong for norwich city —— for cameron norrie. this historic court, famous all over the world will have two new nations watching on for the women's singles final. kazakhstan and tunisia as we have the two new faces of a wimbledon final stop elena rybakina of kazakhstan and ons jabeur of tunisia, who is the first arab woman to reach a grandson final. it really feels amazing. i am really happy.
8:44 am
i don't know why i'm not crying, because all my team was crying around me. very emotional. i am on a mission, you know, the beginning of the great title that will come for me. for sure, we are going to be nervous. lam, for sure. and since it is the first time for both of us, i think that we are in similar situations. we can see how we are going to manage our stress and everything, for sure, we are going to try to do our best, and i think it will be a good match. yeah, it should be an epic one. that is live on centre court here on bbc one this afternoon. cameron norrie“s dream run to the last four of wimbledon came to an end. the british number one was playing in the semi—finals of a grand slam for the first time, but he couldn't make it past the defending champion novak djokovic. he started really well, wining the first set 6—2.
8:45 am
the margins throughout were pretty fine. he can hold his head up high and know they can come back and do this again. meanwhile, britain's alfie hewett booked his place in the final of the men's wheelchair singles, after an incredible comeback against argentina's gustavo fernandez on court one. now the wheelchair matches are best of three sets, and hewett came back from 6—2, 5—1 down, to book his place in a first wimbledon singles final. he'll face japan's shingo kunieda for the title. he's also into the doubles final well. at the women's euros, favourites spain have got off to a winning start. they came from behind to beat finland 4—1 in their opening group game. aitana bonmati with spain's second. it's the first time spain have scored four goals in a single game at the tournament. eight time champions germany thrashed 2017 finallists denmark 4—0 in brentford.
8:46 am
the pick of the goals from alexandra popp to send germany top of group b. lewis hamilton will have his work cut out to claim a third consecutive podium finish of the season at tomorrow's austrian grand prix. he'll start today's sprint race at the red bull ring from ninth after he crashed in the final session of qualifying. his mercedes team mate george russell also crashed soon after, but he'll start from fourth. red bull's max verstappen bounced back from a disappointing race at silverstone last weekend to claim pole ahead of ferrari's charles leclerc. incredibly disappointed with myself, ultimately. and so sorry to the team. everybody worked so hard to put this car together and i never like to damage it, bring it back damaged. so, yeah, and we were fighting for top three i think. and i don't have an answer for it.
8:47 am
there was a thrilling finish in the latest stage at the tour de france as defending champion tadej pogacar showed his class once again. in the first summit finish of this year's tour, the riders bided their time before making their move but with the line fast approaching — pogacar managed to close down jonas vingegaard and claim his second stage win in as many days. back here at wimbledon i“m back here at wimbledon i'm delighted to say we are joined by legend john lloyd. former british number one, wimbledon winner in the doubles of course, a coach in america, author, you name it. john, wow, cameron norrie, i know he lost in four sets but the mental and physical strength that he showed. completely dominating that first set before djokovic went to the bathroom and something happened.— djokovic went to the bathroom and something happened. yeah, what was that. in the first — something happened. yeah, what was that. in the first set _ something happened. yeah, what was that. in the first set he _ something happened. yeah, what was that. in the first set he was _ that. in the first set he was getting dominated by cam norrie and he goes for a bathroom break and comes back and dominated. i remember
8:48 am
doing the tv when cam norrie had his davis cup debut in spain a few years back and i described it as the best davis cup debut in history for a british player but if you told me would be in the semifinals of wimbledon three years later i would have said quite frankly you are nuts. he has done it, the preparation he goes through, the mental strength he has got, the attitude, the resilience and now he is one of the big guns stop and he has come through and he wasn't overawed at all. he took on djokovic, was up a set and then the great novak who we all know came back. but what an effort from cam norrie. ., ., , ' norrie. even though it was 4-1 in the end in _ norrie. even though it was 4-1 in the end in terms _ norrie. even though it was 4-1 in the end in terms of— norrie. even though it was 4-1 in the end in terms of set, - norrie. even though it was 4-1 in the end in terms of set, maybe l norrie. even though it was 4-1 in i the end in terms of set, maybe just the end in terms of set, maybe just the first set hitting the net, tiny margins. the first set hitting the net, tiny mar: ins. .,. , .. the first set hitting the net, tiny marains. , ~ ., margins. exactly. i think that there are thins margins. exactly. i think that there are things that _ margins. exactly. i think that there are things that he _ margins. exactly. i think that there are things that he can _ margins. exactly. i think that there are things that he can improve, i margins. exactly. i think that there l are things that he can improve, cam norrie. you can improve his serve and get a bit more power, a bit more power in little aspects of his game he can get. and so there are ways he
8:49 am
can improve for me. and look at the way he has come through, all the players respect him now because he is nasty to play against. he has got that big topspin forehand and that backhand which is flat, comes this much over the net and probably he is the fittest guy out there. for me he is going to keep going up and up and a remarkable two weeks he has had. yeah, a lot to look forward for cam norrie. what about the final then, djokovic against nick kyrgios. drug which has never taken a set of radius. —— novak has never taken a set of nick kyrgios. you radius. -- novak has never taken a set of nick kyrgios.— radius. -- novak has never taken a set of nick kyrgios. you don't know if nick will embrace _ set of nick kyrgios. you don't know if nick will embrace the _ set of nick kyrgios. you don't know if nick will embrace the situation i if nick will embrace the situation or not. i think he will. he has already said he has had one night when he couldn't sleep and i think actually not having a match it is public too many days. he has too many —— too much time to think about it. it is box office but it is tough

8:54 am
weekend we are looking at a dry picture for most places. lots of sunshine on offer this weekend and it will feel very warm, particular by the time get to tomorrow, even warmer than it is out there. high driving weather at the moment, creeping in from the west and pushing right across the uk. it is not going to be with us for the weekend but for much of next week as well. we have got a bit of cloud, it is not wall—to—wall sunshine this morning, particular more north and west. we will keep patchy drizzle for the northern isles but elsewhere as the rain thins and breaks the temperatures will rocket. 27 in the warmest response towards london but even further north 19 or 20 degrees for scotland and northern ireland as well. wimbledon finals weekend, 27 today for the women's final. by tomorrow we could see 29, possibly 30 degrees on centre court so it really is going to feel pretty hot. this evening then a fine, dry the day, lots of late sunshine around.
8:55 am
low cloud and mist dinners in the irish sea coast for instance but that will burn away quickly. it is looking fine, dry and sunny. the sunshine tomorrow more widespread than today so there will be less in the way of cloud. any early murkiness burning back to the coast. the northern isles staying breezy and cloudy as well. temperatures in lerwick 13 degrees but most of us looking at 21 to 29, possibly 30 degrees towards the far south—east. hotting up on sunday. it will continue to do so overnight onto monday. high pressure really establishes itself. a weather front in the far north—west so cloudy conditions for the western isles, a bit of rain here for instance but elsewhere lots of very strong sunshine. very high levels of uv and high levels of pollen. temperatures the talking point, highs around about the low 20s in northern
8:56 am
ireland and scotland but 32 degrees for london in the south—east. the heat sticking around for a time on tuesday. it looks like we will have a week where the front rushing south through tuesday night and overnight into wednesday. not much rain i“m into wednesday. not much rain i'm afraid but something a little bit fresher through the later part of the week. briefly the temperatures dip away for a time but they will rise again towards the end of the week into next weekend. lots of really hot and very sunny weather on the cards for the next ten days or so for many of us.— the cards for the next ten days or so for many of us. sarah, thank you. so hot weather _ so for many of us. sarah, thank you. so hot weather on _ so for many of us. sarah, thank you. so hot weather on the _ so for many of us. sarah, thank you. so hot weather on the way _ so for many of us. sarah, thank you. so hot weather on the way for i so hot weather on the way for england and wales. some temperatures are going to be higher than you would find in los angeles, marbella and santorini. it is looking glorious there. yeah,

the race to be the next leader of the conservative party heats up as former chancellor rishi sunakjoins the list of contenders. the body of japan's former prime minister, shinzo abe, arrives in the capital tokyo, a day after he was assassinated at a political rally. good morning from centre court wimbledon women's final day, when we will see a new name on the trophy. yesterday it all came to an end for cameron norrie. good morning. the temperatures will be the talking point of the weather forecast this weekend with things really warming up weekend with things really warming up again, critically by sunday. lots of strong sunshine and things are remaining mostly dry. i will have all the details. it's saturday, the 9th ofjuly. our top story... the race to replace borisjohnson as leader of the conservative party is gathering pace this morning, with four mps launching
9:03 am
their campaigns to become the next prime minister. they include former chancellor, rishi sunak, whose resignation earlier this week helped trigger the mass walkout of ministers that forced mrjohnson to stand down. this weekend, more candidates are expecting to announce their intention to run, as our political correspondent, lone wells, reports. will you be standing for the leadership? who is in the running to be the next tory party leader? are you going to be the next prime minister? some, like former chancellor rishi sunak, have publicly said they will be. he launched his bid in a slick video on friday. that's why i'm standing to be the next leader of the conservative party and your prime minister. he was the second cabinet minister to resign from borisjohnson's government, and says his campaign will focus on integrity. he has had the backing of some prominent conservative mps already. he's got the right values. he is competent, he's honest. and i think he's the sort
9:04 am
of conservative i want to see. he believes in cutting taxes, but he's going to be honest with people. we can only cut taxes if we control spending and if we get growth going in the economy. rishi sunakjoined backbench tory mp tom dougan hart and attorney general suella braverman. last night kemi badenoch also announced she would be running. and others who also sat in borisjohnson's government like sajid javid, liz truss, nadhim zahawi, priti patel and grant shapps are among those said to be seriously considering bids. some have been privately shoring up support among mp colleagues, and are expected to announce their bids in the coming days. first, fellow tory mps here in westminster will whittle down the long list of contenders. then, in previous contests, conservative members have had a vote to decide between final two. the full process and timetable is expected to be announced next week. but it is expected that a new prime minister will be in place by september.
9:05 am
as temperatures are set to soar this weekend, the leadership race is hotting up to. those who want to lead the country now need to spend their summer battling it out. lone wells, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, who's in westminster this morning. david, we're expecting more contenders to throw their hats into the ring in the coming days — any early favourites? it isa it is a strange time, because officially the process has not begun and starts next week sometime, but in reality, the campaign has. yes. in reality, the campaign has. yes, we don't actually _ in reality, the campaign has. yes, we don't actually even _ in reality, the campaign has. yes, we don't actually even know- in reality, the campaign has. us: we don't actually even know the rules for the contest yet, but the campaign is truly under way and most mps have yet to declare who they will be backing. but it does look like rishi sunak is off to a strong start. not only does he have quite a lot of name recognition, he has got to former chief whips backing him. they probably bring some organisational experience, useful to
9:06 am
a campaign. he has got the former chairman of the conservative party oliver dowden backing him, who resigned a few weeks ago. but he doesn't have everyone. we heard on the programme earlier on from prominent backbencher steve baker, who is backing the attorney general suella braverman to be the next leader, had he explained that, while he was fond of rishi sunak, he could not back him. here is why he said that. , ., , ., ., that. the problem we have got with rishi sunak — that. the problem we have got with rishi sunak is _ that. the problem we have got with rishi sunak is that _ that. the problem we have got with rishi sunak is that he _ that. the problem we have got with rishi sunak is that he is _ that. the problem we have got with rishi sunak is that he is in - that. the problem we have got with rishi sunak is that he is in a - that. the problem we have got with rishi sunak is that he is in a bind, l rishi sunak is that he is in a bind, that he _ rishi sunak is that he is in a bind, that he has— rishi sunak is that he is in a bind, that he has got to double down on the policy— that he has got to double down on the policy he has had. i believe that tax— the policy he has had. i believe that tax in— the policy he has had. i believe that tax in this country is too high at their— that tax in this country is too high at their current levels, so high that— at their current levels, so high that they— at their current levels, so high that they will be doing more harm than good — that they will be doing more harm than good at these levels. unfortunately, because rishi sunak 's record _ unfortunately, because rishi sunak 's record is— unfortunately, because rishi sunak 's record is saying he wants low taxes _ 's record is saying he wants low taxes but — 's record is saying he wants low taxes but then putting them up, he has now— taxes but then putting them up, he has now got to double down on that record _ has now got to double down on that record during his campaign. it�*s record during his campaign. interesting record during his campaign. it�*s interesting because we are just really starting with this campaign, and already the idea of tax cuts is becoming a key issue. kemi badenoch, the former policy minister who declared yesterday evening, she said
9:07 am
she wants more taxes accompanied by tight spending discipline. tom took got, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, he said he also wants tax cut immediately if he is prime minister. but rishi sunak talks about comforting fairy tales that may sound good right now but might make life more difficult for the next generation. you might be alluding to the tax situation there. but definitely a key issue that we can expect to play out as the campaign ramps up. david, thank you. the body of formerjapanese prime minister shinzo abe has arrived in the capital tokyo, a day after he was assassinated at a political rally in the city of nara. police say a 41—year—old man has claimed responsibility for the killing. our correspondent mariko oi is outside mr abe's home in tokyo, and joins us now. mariko, a country in mourning this morning.
9:08 am
absolutely. people are still completely shocked by the fact that such a violent incident could take place here injapan, where gun crimes are extremely rare and political violence almost unheard of. i am standing outside shinzo abe 's home here in tokyo, where earlier this afternoon his body was brought back all the way from the city of nara, where he was assassinated on friday, and shortly after his body came back, we saw the current prime minister coming here to pay a visit. also we have been seeing a number of politicians, government officials, coming here to pay their respects, as well as some members of the japanese public, holding flowers, waiting sometimes for hours for his return as well. but, as the country mourns, people are asking questions about the security. how a former prime minister was allowed to just be campaigning on the street with a
9:09 am
couple of bodyguards, and whether or not they acted quickly enough. so, a lot of questions remain to be answered, but at the same time, we have just learned that his funeral will take place on tuesday, after the election on sunday, which is still going ahead.— the world's richest man, elon musk, says he is abandoning his £36 billion bid to buy twitter. a lawyer for the tesla chief executive has accused the social media company of breaching the original agreement. however, twitter says it plans to pursue legal action to enforce the deal. good morning. now, sarah will take a look at the weather for us. that lavender farm looks so lovely, i could just imagine the smell. it is gorgeous, isn't it? yes, good morning to you all. a beautiful start to the day, temperatures above 20 celsius in
9:10 am
some spots already and they will rise further through the course of the weekend. there is a bit of cloud around here in berkshire, so not wall—to—wall sunshine to start the day, but most of the cloud we have got at the moment is going to be breaking up there fairly quickly, and then plenty of sunshine through the rest of the weekend, and it will feel very warm. we will be watching the thermometers to see just how hot it gets through the weekend. high pressure keeping things dry. we haven't got any rain in the forecast through the weekend for most of us. just the far north of scotland seeing the influence of a weather front, so that could bring a bit of drizzle to the western isles and northern isles for a time. the cloud will thin and break this afternoon, long spells of blue sky and really strong uv levels this afternoon. 27 celsius in the warmest spot this afternoon. further north, a little bit cooler. cooler than that in the western isles and northern isles. of course, it is finals weekend at wimbledon, and it is certainly going
9:11 am
to be a hot one. for the women's final, highs of 27 celsius and for the men's final, 29 or even 30 celsius on centre court. looking dry and hot again. that's the picture across much of the uk. we ended today with lots of late sunshine and evening warmth. very pleasant with light winds. overnight, a little bit of mist and low cloud forming through the irish sea and temperatures first thing tomorrow around 10—14 c, so not too sticky overnight but it will turn more humid through next week. on sunday, less cloud compared to today, so temperatures are going to be even higher. so hot, dry, light winds and just a bit cloudy for the far north—west of scotland. but highs of 21 for much of scotland and northern ireland, but in the south—west we could see up to 30 celsius. sunday is the hottest day of the weekend. high pressure stays with us into monday. a weather front is trying to push on from the far north—west, so
9:12 am
on monday more of the same and again, another dry day with light winds and just a bit of rain for the far north—west of scotland. with those long spells of sunshine for most areas, it will be feeling very warm indeed. 32 celsius for central and southern parts of england. so, high pressure still with us, but a week weather front is going to push its way south through to tuesday night and into wednesday. hot for the next few days and perhaps something just a little bit fresher through the middle of the week before again those temperatures shoot up, particular southern england as we head through to next weekend as well. when roxy longworth was just 13 years old, she was coerced into sending explicit photos to a boy four years her senior. the images were then sent around her school — and roxy's mental health quickly deteriorated.

9:50 am
but it is not the film, is that right? it's alan music, which is wonderful. i think this is the most uplifting show i have ever done. i have seen it. it is very, very uplifting. it is filled with a lot ofjoy and a celebration of life. but a lot of pressure after the music of the first film, to have these songs that are so uplifting, and even though you don't know them, you do get into them quite quickly. by the time we get to the end of act one... we play nuns, which is difficult to accept any way, and there are two big numbers at the end of the first half. the audience go like this, and i mean, you will have seen it if you were there, they go absolutely... they are on their feet by the end! they really are. that's three tiers, absolutely full, shouting and screaming most of the way through, it is absolutelyjoyous. it is infectious. so that's the happy stuff. how did you get into the character of a nun? laughter that tells me so much more than it should tell me!
9:51 am
i have actually played a nun before in another musical years ago, but a lot of it, you know, and i have done a bit of research. we had some research given to us, and looked at all of that. it is a very humbling place to be because you sort of, for me anyway, because i'm very outspoken. i take myself out of that world, and also because i want to be with the rest of the company, who are also these amazing nuns. the ensemble is incredible, as you know. you sort ofjust remember to tell this beautiful story, of how pure it is, and how being true to yourself is absolutely the be all and end all. they all have very different characters. you are sister mary lazarus. yes, and patrick. so your character is...? if you want to think about the film, it's not the same but quite similar, she is so iconic, this character. this beautiful person
9:52 am
that is so filled with joy in life and excitement about everything and anything related to god and all things, you know, catholic. whereas i am the complete opposite. i'm a rather dour nun, who does not want to welcome anybody else, and then suddenly, halfway through a number when she says, would you like to be a funky bass? she absolutely lets loose. i never knew you had a range like this! same. honestly! nobody else can go this low. it is incredibly low. but that's what she is. she is not a good singer, she is a bit of a sourpuss, but halfway through this wonderful number called raise your voice, she discovers the funky bass. which is why she goes into rap. i mean, she becomes another person. it is quite amazing watching you rap. i suppose, in terms of outfits, you are completely covered. when we first put these on, i was rather worried. you know when you are acting, you need your whole body to express.
9:53 am
