tiger woods will be teeing off in about 90 minutes�* time. top of the leaderboard is 25—year—old about 90 minutes' time. top of the leaderboard is 25—year—old american camera young. these are early days. everything changeable. thank you, joe. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willetts. the weather is ever changing, a lull in the heat, a lot of cloud at st andrews but the sunshine will return, a few showers around today and tomorrow, but it is all about this heat that we are forecasting. as i say it's a little bit more pleasant out there at the moment, there are a few showers for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, more sunshine further south but we've lost the humidity that we've had in recent days so i found it more comfortable for sleeping last night and

temperatures today are considerably lower for many in the south. in fact they are a little bit lower in the north, pleasant if you have the sunshine and just a gentle breeze, but we could still see 27—28 in the next hour or two in the south. 0vernight temperatures will fall away to a more comfortable level, even more so than last night in the towns and cities but further north, rain to come and that may affect st andrews tomorrow morning before the sun returns. temperatures lower overnight, we have two or three more comfortable nights, if it's safe to do so perhaps the opportunity to let the windows open and get rid of the residual heat. the weather fronts are with this in the north tomorrow, so a different complexion to the weather. although the rain clears to northern ireland —— in northern ireland, some of the patchy rain could get into the north of wales, the midlands, even east anglia, not very much at all, only dampening the ground and still pretty warm to the south. really much on a par with the day. it is then all about the temperatures. we change our wind direction. we start to pick up a dry

south—easterly dragging in the heat we've already got across iberia, it's heading into france, and by saturday we can see temperatures widely into the low to mid 20s, the high 20s in the south. it's for england and wales where we have that extreme heat warning, the amber warning from the met office, but it won'tjust be these areas affected by the heat. it will be widely across the uk and we are going to see some temperature records tumble as well. soak exceptionally warm conditions, hot conditions, coming ourway, day conditions, hot conditions, coming our way, day and night. conditions, hot conditions, coming ourway, day and night. look conditions, hot conditions, coming our way, day and night. look at the temperatures on sunday, up towards 30 degrees across northern england, towards the scottish borders, further west as well in the heat expands across the uk on monday and tuesday and intensifies. the mid to high 30s degrees celsius forecast. yes, potentially record—breaking. you can see that forecast here. it's notjust in the south and east, it is across many areas, temperatures in northern ireland and scotland

getting towards 30 degrees and record—breaking as well, so plan ahead, the potentialfor widespread ahead, the potential for widespread health ahead, the potentialfor widespread health impacts notjust for the young, old and vulnerable, but for all of us. a reminder of your top story. conservative mps are voting right now in the second round of the contest to replace borisjohnson. that's all from the bbc news at one. now it's time for the news where you are. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. hello, i'm hugh ferris. a bucket hat—wearing amateur from sheffield is one of the early contenders at the 150th open at st andrews, while a couple of camerons have the on course and clubhouse leads. ben croucher is at the old course for us.

it isa it is a stacked top of the leader board, and quite an array of names. absolutely. you might be forgiven for not recognising all of the names at the top of the leader board, but that bucket hat wearing golfer is barclay brown, an amateur on his opening debut. he is a little way behind an american rookie, cameron young, who isjust coming down the 18th as we speak on seven under par. a fine round from him today, making a mockery of one of the most iconic and hardest golf courses in the world. elsewhere on the leaderboard, cameron smith made a birdie on the 18th to sit on five under par. alongside ernie els, who has been rolling back the years to sit on five under par. four birdies in five holes for the south african. this is a course where you don't necessarily need to bludgeon it all the way around. rory mcilroy said it is like around. rory mcilroy said it is like a game of chess.

yes, and some of these may have an afternoon to look forward to as well. we often talk about how much the afternoon and morning starters get different weather conditions, and whether it is easier or harder, so what is your assessment on the afternoon starters?— afternoon starters? well, the afternoon _ afternoon starters? well, the afternoon starters _ afternoon starters? well, the afternoon starters are - afternoon starters? well, the i afternoon starters are definitely going to get windier conditions. this morning was the calmest we have had it all week. the course was a little bit softer, but the wind has definitely picked up in the last hour, also. that will make life more challenging for the afternoon starters. the likes of tiger woods, who tees off around 3pm. also matthew fitzpatrick, who grew up playing at the same course as barclay brown. it will be a little bit trickier for these afternoon starters. 0n the 13th, rory mcilroy is out on the course at the moment, four under par through his first seven holes today. if he can just

cling on before this wind picks up even further, he could well be contending for the top of the leaderboard by the close of play. ben, thank you. india have won the toss and are bowlin- first in the second one day international against england at lord's. it's three years to the day since england won the world cup at the same venue, but only two days since they were bowled out forjust 110 against the same opponents in the first match of the series. leicester's 0llie chessum will make his first start for england in the series decider against australia on saturday. chessum will take his place in the second row after an injury to maro itoje. with flanker sam underhill ruled out with concussion, lewis ludlam will wear number seven in sydney. danny care will be at scrum—half and jack van poortvliet, who started the last game, is on the bench. and good news for wales

as captain dan biggar has been passed fit for the third test series decider against south africa in cape town. prop dillon lewis has also made the starting line up after his own injury scare. head coach wayne pivac has made one change with wing josh adams replacing the injured alex cuthbert. that's all the sport for now. don't forget, the golf continues on radio five live. goodbye. i think voting ended at 1:30pm in the leadership contest for who will become your next prime minister. 0ne become your next prime minister. one of the six candidates will be knocked out this afternoon. liz truss has promised tax cuts and a national insurance rise, which she said she did challenge in government when it was introduced.

we are at a critical moment for our country. we face huge challenges in the aftermath of covid and putin's appalling war in ukraine. now is the time to be bold. we cannot have business—as—usual economic management which has led to low growth for decades. we need to deliver on brexit and the opportunities it offers, and we need to win the fight forfreedom at home and around the world. that is why i am putting myself forward for leadership of the conservative and unionist party, and of our great country. i will campaign as a conservative and i will govern as a conservative. i can lead, i can make tough decisions and i can get things done. i am ready to be prime ministerfrom day one. a senior source in conservative mp

in tom tugendhat leadership has expressed confidence that he won't be knocked out today. he has said the uk needs a clean start and he is the uk needs a clean start and he is the person to provide it. in the last few weeks and months i can tell you that i have noticed that the car is getting more expensive to use, £1.90, very often a bit more than that, 1.95 in my area, is really hurting, and it is something that we all notice. it is hurting many people in the community i represent, people in west kent very often need to drive a lot. people across the country, the moment you leave this place, westminster, a lot of people are entirely reliant on their cars. so the price of fuel is a real issue for all of us, and as winter is coming, sorry to misquotejon snow, we are going to find ourselves thinking much more about the price of gas as well.

that's why i think what we need to be doing is a couple of things quickly and a couple of things slightly in the longer term. the quick things to do are to lower the price of fuel and the 10p fuel duty levy i've been talking about because i think that's really important in saving people money today now, putting money in people's pockets immediately. and the result of that second round is due at about 3pm today. 0bviously, is due at about 3pm today. obviously, we will bring you it lives and first from the house of commons here on bbc news, and all the reaction as well. we are going to take a look at some of the story is right around the uk. wildlife campaigners in south yorkshire save hundreds of ducklings are dying when they get trapped in a

reservoir overflow pool. local people can hear the birds in distress when separated from their mother. a makeshift ramp to help the ducklings climbed out was taken down because of safety concerns. big net like that, over the edge. alan has been rescuing ducklings in distress. he has found them separated from their mother, too young to fly. i turned up at half past four in the morning, there were eight ducklings swimming, crying and one dead and they were swimming around each dead sibling. this is scout dyke reservoir near peniston. when it is full, excess water floods out into the spillway. ducklings follow their mother in, but find it impossible to climb out, many die as a result. they don't have very long in the water before they become exhausted,

they get cold and the adult ducks have oil on their feathers which makes them waterproof and ducklings don't have that. nature enthusiast alan decided to build a ramp to help the ducklings escape. the last one i used was a piece of decking. mother goes in, she goes to the river, ducklings, she shouts to them, ducklings climb up the ramp and jump to safety on the river. but that ramp was removed and yorkshire water has fenced off the area. the company is concerned about people hurting themselves or drowning if they fall. yorkshire water says it will install a finer mesh wire here to try and keep the ducklings out and look to a more permanent solution in the future. the problem is this area is exposed to a high volume of water so any permanent rescue ramp would need to be able to withstand the force of that overflow. the bits of floating wood, it gives the ducklings somewhere to rest.

but a group of local residents cannot bear to see more ducklings die. if it is something that will cost thousands, yes, i can understand it, but it's not. it's a simple little thing, a piece of wood. it's a distressing issue, and one that affects many other reservoirs with similar structures. yorkshire water says it has to put the safety of people first. heidi tomlinson, bbc look north, peniston. beavers were hunted to extinction in the uk sentries ago, but thanks to a re—establishment programme they have been making a comeback in recent years. now, a beaver has been born in the wild in cheshire for the first time in 400 years. deep in the heart of cheshire is one of the region's most exciting conservation projects. beavers have not been in this area for centuries but,

two years ago, kevin and his team brought them back. it was just the two we released, a male and female. they had not met until the release date. they settled in quickly. beavers build dams, which trap water, and that helps to repair this precious habitat. this ditch to our right would have been 2—3 inches of water this time of year. it is now well up over a metre. that was a beaver. sure enough, we spot the male. very territorial at the moment. then kevin tells us some exciting news. we have seen one beaver kit, a baby beaver, this year, in recent months. that is fantastic news. it shows the beavers are happy, they are breeding. we are getting an increase in population. that will be the first baby beaver born in cheshire for well over 400 years. the kit is about three months old, caught here on a night camera. but no sign of it today. the little one is exploring the site but doing exactly what its parents are doing. it will go around and then

start to fell hopefully some smaller trees. and also be grazing on vegetation. they are quite independent. this is a milestone in the project and shows just how well the beavers are doing. we keep hearing the splash. that is him telling us he knows there is something not quite right. it is designed to frighten or scare anything off that is a potential predator and it does just that. everywhere you go there are signs of their hard work. you can see the teeth marks. the mouth is a c shape and clamps and cuts through the bark. the dam is along here. it's about one metre high in places. you can see the trees growing. it's now up to one metre deep. the project here has been part

funded by members of the public, who will no doubt be delighted to hear the population is growing. 0 bjects objects that found in a royal shipwreck that sank off the coast of norfolk are in be even better condition than those found on the mary rose. the gloucester ship sank in 1682, and items recovered from the wreck have been sent to york for expert to begin the restoration. in york, and aladdins cave. artefacts dating back more than 340 years, all discovered off the norfolk coast, now being conserved. i get excited by the staff of the gloucester because it is a range of material we don't normally see. fine material we don't normally see. one ofthe material we don't normally see. one of the rare find _ material we don't normally see. one of the rare find is _ material we don't normally see. one of the rare find is a _ material we don't normally see. one of the rare find is a pair of

prescot, once upon a time famous for clocks and watches. now it has a new shakespearean arrival on the skyline. when you first arrived here, what were your feelings when you walked in here? just awe, absolutely blown away. it is the most beautiful place imaginable. shakespeare north, a new theatre that is a replica of a bit of sha kespeare's england. shall i compare thee to a summer's day? thou art more lovely and more temperate. and for ashley nugent, who grew up here in prescot, it is an unexpected turn of events. prescot was becoming a ghost town. nothing has been happening for years. shops have been shutting down. i moved away from this area because i thought there was no culture. now, all these years later, i am back, full circle, back to my old stomping ground. in this beautiful place. the theatre is a recreation of one of the london theatres from sha kespeare's heyday. it was a place of bloodsports and daily drama.

the site these days is now occupied by 10 downing street. and for prescot it is already having an effect. mr shakespeare's face is everywhere. the question is, why prescot? it is all because of a local aristocrat who had his own theatrical troupe, who was very close to shakespeare, and also, here in prescot, they had their own purpose built elizabethan playhouse. well, it was here. things have changed since then. and, while the shakespeare connection is a mystery to many in prescot, people have begun to notice changes. even lord strange now has a pub named after him. prescot is happening. yes, prescot is where it is! was it like that before? no. has it changed ? it has changed a lot. with the nightlife. do you remember the little bars along this road? - never used —

to be any until a few months ago. and then it alljust happened really. i all down to shakespeare. i bet you have no idea why shakespeare... of course, building a theatre is one thing, building is one thing, building an audience another. but there is a hope the elizabethan layout may encourage a more welcoming elizabethan atmosphere. were audiences different back then? they were a little bit more rowdy than we're used to. are you encouraging them to be rowdy here? not so rowdy but we encourage them to make themselves feel more at home. more relaxed. more informal. enjoy your time. it is, they hope, going to be the northern outpost of the shakespeare triangle. london, stratford, prescot. so long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to the.

whilst there is some heat in the sunshine today, overall a cooler day across the country. and the showers will be running close to st andrews throughout the day, especially this afternoon and potentially again tomorrow. but this weekend, all of us will be getting warmer, if not hotter. still quite hot in the sunshine across the counties, but for the midlands, east anglia and northwards, the chance of some showers, particularly through eastern areas this afternoon. damages in the mid to high teens, low 20s, but may be the high 20s in the southernmost areas —— mac temperatures. tonight, the showers fade away and another batch of cloud enters across parts of scotland. england and wales stay driest and clearest, and a much fresher night with temperatures down to single figures in rural areas. a good morning to open the windows and let the fresh air in. on friday, whilst high pressure is there across the

southern areas, another area of weather pushes its way from west to east. across scotland, a cloudy and damp start. if you showers continuing into the afternoon, but western areas will be dry and bright, feeling warm in northern ireland, and to the south of sunshine continues with temperatures similar to this afternoon. in the weekend, high pressure sets up a stall over the uk and that means more sunshine will develop, more rain possible for the western isles with temperatures in the mid teens, but elsewhere damages creeping up a few degrees, and that will be the case through saturday and into sunday —— temperatures. an isolated shower can't be ruled out but mostly it will be dry and sunny. by this stage temperatures widely in the high 20s or low 30s and wales. mid to high 20s in northern ireland. the heat which is on its way is currently across spain and portugal, with the red colours showing how significantly above normal they are. the heat spread through france into the weekend, and

felt here by the early next week. notjust in areas covered by the met office extreme heat warning, but the 0ffice extreme heat warning, but the heat will actually build more widely and whilst we could see temperatures in the mid—if not high 30s, potentially record—breaking across parts of england and wales, even in scotland and northern ireland will see temperatures close to the high 20s and low 30s. take care.
