6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and roger johnson. our headlines today: a third day of delays and disruption expected at the port of dover and channel tunnel after two days of gridlock. work has been taking place overnight to try to shift 1500 lorries from the motorway. here in dover it is already getting busy and at
6:01 am
it's sunday, the 24th ofjuly. our top story: holidaymakers and hauliers are being warned to expect a third day of disruption around the port of dover and the channel tunnel. a major incident alert remains in place as officials work to clear a backlog of more than 1,000 lorries stranded on nearby motorways. simon jones has the latest.

working through the night at the port of dover, to try to clear the backlog of traffic. and there is a third warning, but that they may as we approached all of the roads, in all directions, i think the infrastructure around the ports and the channel i think the infrastructure around the port, around the tunnel, needs to be looked at. because it isn't fair on the locals. the immediate challenae fair on the locals. the immediate challenge has _ fair on the locals. the immediate challenge has been _ fair on the locals. the immediate challenge has been to _ fair on the locals. the immediate challenge has been to get - fair on the locals. the immediate challenge has been to get the - fair on the locals. the immediate l challenge has been to get the 1500 hgbs parked on the motorway on their way. we hgbs parked on the motorway on their wa . ~ . hgbs parked on the motorway on their wa , ~ ., ., , hgbs parked on the motorway on their wa . ~ ., ., , . , way. we have lorries currently stackin . way. we have lorries currently stacking on — way. we have lorries currently stacking on the _ way. we have lorries currently stacking on the 20, _ way. we have lorries currently stacking on the 20, some - way. we have lorries currently stacking on the 20, some of. way. we have lorries currently - stacking on the 20, some of them have been there for several hours, and we need to help them get through and we need to help them get through and across the channel. so we need to make sure that some priority is given to help get some freight across, but ultimately we need to see some movement. the

6:05 am
to through passport control. but it is actually, this morning, around eurotunnel where we seem to have the biggest issues. people said they have been forced to spend the night sleeping in their cars on side rose, desperately trying to get to the eurotunnel terminal, because the roads remain gridlocked. 0nce eurotunnel terminal, because the roads remain gridlocked. once they actually get to the terminal, they are facing a weight of about two hours to get through passport control, and also through security checks. i think what is interesting in all of this is that it is —— is this ongoing blame game. we have had localfor dover saying this ongoing blame game. we have had local for dover saying that she thinks the french authorities should apologise to the people of dover for all the congestion of the past few days stop the accusation that france did not amount passport boots with enough staff. but you have had the french authorities eventually saying they do not think the infrastructure around here in kent is sufficient to cope. there isn't enough space at the port of dover. and the roads around the eurotunnel terminal in folkestone are absolutely creaking. but i think behind the scenes,
6:06 am
discussions have been taking place with a more conciliatory tone. it is on the interests of both sides to try to resolve this, particularly as around a third of the trade the eu does with the uk passes through the court —— the port of dover. 0bviously court —— the port of dover. obviously it is but it will be busy this weekend with the holloway getaway, but there is a lot of talk now about perhaps we need to change some of the infrastructure around there, if this is the way that things are going to be, perhaps, going forward, so that the lorries and cars are not stuck sitting on motorways?— and cars are not stuck sitting on motorwa s? , ~ ., motorways? yes, i think there are curowin motorways? yes, i think there are growing calls _ motorways? yes, i think there are growing calls for— motorways? yes, i think there are growing calls for a _ motorways? yes, i think there are growing calls for a new _ motorways? yes, i think there are growing calls for a new laurie - motorways? yes, i think there are| growing calls for a new laurie park to be built, or several lorry parks somewhere in the area, so you can actually take the lorries off the road. part of the big issue at the moment is they've had to shut a large section of the 20, basically, to become a giant lorry (park so that the lorries don't disrupt other
6:07 am
traffic. that means all the other traffic, whether it is trying to get to eurotunnel or try to get here to dover or simply get around kent is being forced onto the side roads, and those side road simply can't cope. the big issue is, recently they talked about building a lorry (park very close to here, and the local said they didn't want it here. that is always the issue, finding the spot where you can build it and people will not demand that it doesn't go there.— people will not demand that it doesn't go there. very frustrating for lots of people _ doesn't go there. very frustrating for lots of people and _ doesn't go there. very frustrating for lots of people and lots - doesn't go there. very frustrating for lots of people and lots of - doesn't go there. very frustrating l for lots of people and lots of ways. simon, thank you. some tourists have said they had to spend the night sleeping in their cars. simon and his family are one of them, they left their home in cambridge on this 2a hours ago and join us now. good morning, andrew. not a great morning for you. it's mine had lost 94 hours have unfolded?— unfolded? so, we arrived at folkestone _ unfolded? so, we arrived at folkestone around - unfolded? so, we arrived at folkestone around 9am - unfolded? so, we arrived at - folkestone around 9am yesterday for a train at 10:30am. then we have slowly been crawling along for the past 21 plus hours. haifa slowly been crawling along for the past 21 plus hours.—

6:10 am
a global health emergency by the world health organization. the classification is the highest alert that the who can issue, and follows a worldwide rise in cases. aisling mcveigh reports. there 16,000 of monkeypox worldwide prompted the world health organization to declare the global health outbreak at public health emergency of international concern. the strongest call to action the agency can make. and while the development could be seen as concerning, health officials in the uk have stressed the situation is not something people should ideally worry about. for not something people should ideally wor about. ., not something people should ideally worry about-— worry about. for the uk, the risk to individuals. — worry about. for the uk, the risk to individuals, currently, _ worry about. for the uk, the risk to individuals, currently, is— worry about. for the uk, the risk to individuals, currently, is no - individuals, currently, is no different today than it was yesterday, following the who announcement. but of course that doesn't mean that we are not being very proactive in our interventions, to try to prevent any unnecessary transmissions of the virus, and we've got a number of different programmes in place. monkeypox is a viral disease — programmes in place. monkeypox is a viral disease from _ programmes in place. monkeypox is a

viral disease from africa. _ programmes in place. monkeypox is a viral disease from africa. the - viral disease from africa. the symptoms are a rash that develops into scabs. it requires close contacts to spread, mainly skin to skin, and can also be spread through coughs and sneezes. currently there are 2208 confirmed cases in the uk. while anyone can get monkeypox, the majority of cases continue to be in gay and bisexual men. this week the nhs announced it was stepping up its vaccination programme. the world health organization hopes labelling the outbreak of public health emergency will speed up the development of vaccines and limit the spread of the virus. the two conservative candidates left in the race to become prime minister will set out their plans to control immigration this morning. former chancellor rishi sunak has promised to cap the number of refugees who will be allowed into the uk, while foreign secretary liz truss will promise a 20% increase in frontline border staff. here's the latest from our political correspondent, iain watson.
6:12 am
the two candidates have been having a go at each other over tax, but when it comes to immigration there is actually some agreement between rishi sunak and liz truss. not only did a budget and the policy of sending some refugees who come here through illegal routes to rwanda, they say they want to extend the scheme and are looking for other countries who may be willing to offer similar deals. rishi countries who may be willing to offersimilar deals. rishi sunak countries who may be willing to offer similar deals. rishi sunak is also pledging to tackle illegal immigration during his first hundred days as prime minister. he says he would restrict eligibility for asylum and allow a number of refugees, even those who come here they are safe and illegal routes, to be capped by parliament. —— via safe and legal. he also says that countries who do not take back asylum seekers could find they get a lesson international aid. liz truss also says she would make illegal immigration a priority. she wants to tackle channel crossings, for example. but she also says she will increase border force staff by 20%. now, remember, it is conservative
6:13 am
party members, not the rest of us, who are choosing the next prime minister, and both candidates believe talking tough on immigration is one way of appealing to them. the united states has accused russia of worsening a global food crisis by carrying out a missile strike on the ukrainian port of odesa. the attack came just hours after a landmark deal to resume grain shipments from ukraine. we can speak now to our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, who joins us from kyiv. ican hear i can hear the air raid sirens going off where you are this morning. i hope you are safe. but speaking about odesa, what has president volodymyr zelensky said about the apparent russian strike on the port. just to say, this is fairly routine. it started about five minutes ago. we will obviously act if we had —— have too, but at the moment we seem to be fine. certainly the reaction of ukraine was that this is a strong indication of something they have
6:14 am
argued all along, which is that moscow can't be trusted, when the deal was struck in istanbul a couple of days ago, they did not say that this was an indication of any kind of renewed faith in moscow's goodwill, but something moscow had essentially been cajoled and forced into doing. so president zelensky last night described it as barbaric and an indication that moscow simply can't be trusted. i think what is interesting now to see is that the damage we initially thought might have been quite extensive to the port facilities in odesa seems to be relatively minor. nothing that we have seen, nothing suggests anything of great significance was damaged. so from a technical point of view there is no reason for the ukrainians not to go ahead with preparations for the shipment of that grain that has been trapped there all this time. but i want is more significant is the symbolic value of this and the message it sends to the international community and to the maritime community, which
6:15 am
is that an operation which was already fraught with all sorts of changes could be even more dangerous than people thought. i think that will cause people to hesitate, before sending ships to odesa to start this much vaunted process. the work of cancer campaigners dame deborahjames, rachel bland and lauren mahon has been honoured at the british podcast awards after you, me and the big c scooped the podcast champion award. the podcast started in 2018. lauren was there to collect the podcaster champion award. well done to them all. here's ben with a look at the weather. good morning. good morning to you, nina and roger, and good morning to you at home as well. a real mix of weather across the uk to take you through the sunday. forsome the uk to take you through the sunday. for some of us, quite a lot of rain to come, especially towards
6:16 am
the north and west. the further south and east you are, you can expect temperatures to rise. it will feel hot across parts of south—east england and east anglia. last night it was really wet across parts of northern ireland and scotland. this heavy, thundery rain drifting north—east was dumping lots of rain in a short space of time in some places. we still have some showers at the moment up to the north—west. also, this band of rain that will come and go through the day across lincolnshire, the midlands, wales, some of engine into south—west england. northern england not seeing too much rain, some spells of coming through. northern ireland and scotland will see further heavy and thundery showers, which could become slow, moving up towards the north—west, the winds will feel lighter later in the day. it will feel breezy, generally, towards the far south—east corner. here we can see spells of sunshine, lifting temperatures all the way up to 30 degrees. we're not talking 40 degrees, like we saw earlier the week, but 30 is still hot by most standards. some hefty, thundery downpours drifting north across
6:17 am
scotland, they could be areas of mist and merc and low cloud here and there, some showers, really strong winds developing in the far north, gales late in the night across shetland. it will be a pretty warm and muggy night, just as it was last night. 14— 18 degrees. we begin the new working week with low pressure in charge, to the north—east. some quite strong winds around that low pressure system, particularly in the far north, where we could see gales through the day on monday. quite a lot of cloud around. showers here and there. a band of showery rain drifting south across parts of eastern southern scotland, down to north—eastern england, they could be heavy bursts and thunderstorms mixed in with out stop it will generally be windy, but across the far north, those are the average wind speeds. gusts could be around 40 or 50 miles an hour. temperatures on monday, a bit down on where they are today for many of us. 15 in aberdeen, 24 v high in london. further ahead through the week, an area of low
6:18 am
pressure will be replaced by this area of high pressure. that will build its way in from the west. under high pressure we expect the weather to be largely dry, that is exactly what we have on the way, a mainly dry outlook for the next five days. some showers around on monday. otherwise, lots of dry weather to come through the week ahead stop that isn't good news in the south—east corner, where we could really do with some rain. temperatures down on where they have been, generally between 19 and around 25 degrees. i will have more weather through the morning, but the now, nina and roger, back to you. time now for a look at today's papers. the conservative leadership contest is being fought on some of the front pages. the sunday telegraph reports a pledge by rishi sunak to introduce a cap on refugee numbers if he becomes prime minister. meanwhile, the mail on sunday has liz truss vowing to send more migrants to rwanda, if they arrive in the uk illegally. that picture needs explanation, that is borisjohnson visiting ukrainian trips and getting the chance to
6:19 am
throw a mock hand grenade, apparently. throw a mock hand grenade, apparently-— meanwhile, the mail on sunday has liz truss vowing to send more migrants to rwanda, if they arrive in the uk illegally. yes, immigration obviously becoming a big part of that title for the keys to downing street. the sunday times says nearly a fifth of gps work an average of only 26 hours a week, with many now doing other work including research and private work. the paper quotes a senior gp saying the job is "no longer doable full—time". the daily star's sunday headline is "yabba dabba phew", with the report that britain is now hotter than it was in the stone age. a quick report from the inside. this is looking at the cost of running your kids around, something you might empathise with. i certainly do. a taxi from doubt, that will be £5,000, please. apparently that is
6:20 am
what parents spend on average, just under £5,000, running their children around. ithink under £5,000, running their children around. i think that is during the course of the kid's lifetime. but thatis course of the kid's lifetime. but that is a lot of money. bud course of the kid's lifetime. but that is a lot of money. and swiftly caettin that is a lot of money. and swiftly getting more _ that is a lot of money. and swiftly getting more and _ that is a lot of money. and swiftly getting more and more _ that is a lot of money. and swiftly getting more and more than - that is a lot of money. and swiftly - getting more and more than £5,000, i am sure, as petrol prices go up. when i say lifetime, obviously that means while they are a child, before they grow up. means while they are a child, before they grow up-— they grow up. there has to be a cut-off point — they grow up. there has to be a cut-off point where _ they grow up. there has to be a cut-off point where they - they grow up. there has to be a cut-off point where they have i they grow up. there has to be a| cut-off point where they have to cut—off point where they have to ferry themselves around. perhaps thatis ferry themselves around. perhaps that is when they get a job in hospitality. lots ofjobs going. 176,000 shortfall in starting the bars, pubs and restaurants, and that is equal to the population of wigan. so that is a real crisis for the hospitality industry. this picture here, you can have a little look. it looks like spider—man has arrived in somebody�*s fans, it is actually a balloon. kelly hudson, 46, bought it for her son's 21st birthday, and it floated up to her window. it does look like spider—man. knocking on the window. look like spider-man. knocking on the window-— look like spider-man. knocking on the window. rather curious. this is one talking — the window. rather curious. this is one talking about _ the window. rather curious. this is

one talking about university - the window. rather curious. this is one talking about university costsl one talking about university costs and the cost of students living, paying for their own accommodation balls, healthier, increasingly the is, students can cut costs by stop data swapping halls for homes. so it is suggested that if you go to university close to home, you keep living at home with your parents. i think they do that a lot in france anyway. it wouldn't necessarily work, certainly in my case, since one of them is 200 miles from home. i don't think that would quite work, commuting every day. although i'm not sure he has many lectures. it makes sense financially, but then, thatis makes sense financially, but then, that is part of the experience, you learn how to be a grown—up, theoretically. this is really interesting, john lewis, shutting off speakers, it is scrapping loudspeaker announcements as part of a child to help people with sensory overload. the department store is trialling a quiet hour in its stratford store in london to provide relief to people with epilepsy, tourette's disorder and symbolic

and centre. today is the last day. to the world athletics championships in oregon then — where gb are toasting another medal on the track but for dina asher smith — and the women's relay team — there was disappointment. andy swiss was watching. a day adaya a day a relay drama but ultimately delight, a medalfor the men in a frantic final. the us were the favourites but canada were let through and behind them could reece prescod fend of jamaica and hang onto bronze? canada habit, great britain third. canada celebrated and so did the british team. what a dramatic race that was. against the very toughest opposition, the british men's quartet brought home a medal. brute british men's quartet brought home a medal. ~ , , , , ., ., medal. we stepped up when we had two and credit to everyone _ medal. we stepped up when we had two and credit to everyone for— medal. we stepped up when we had two and credit to everyone for raising i and credit to everyone for raising their game. it and credit to everyone for raising their game-— and credit to everyone for raising theiruame. , . , ,, , ., their game. it is a stepping stone, we will get — their game. it is a stepping stone, we will get better. _ their game. it is a stepping stone, we will get better. but _ their game. it is a stepping stone, we will get better. but we i their game. it is a stepping stone, we will get better. but we worked | we will get better. but we worked to . ether, we will get better. but we worked together, appreciate _ we will get better. but we worked together, appreciate the i we will get better. but we worked

6:32 am
all time leading t20 wicket taker in the game with her 103rd for her country, as south africa made 148. and england reached that target with six wickets and six balls to spare. the final t20 match is tomorrow. this afternoon's french grand prix will be a landmark one for lewis hamilton. it's the 300th formula one race of his career. unfortunately for the seven time world champion though — he'll be starting from fourth on the grid. ferrari's charles leclerc claimed pole position. he was three tenths of a second quicker than championship leader max verstappen. verstappen�*s red bull teammate sergio perez will line up third alongside hamilton. the race will be the last one before a five week summer break. it's been a very difficult weekend until now for me, struggling with the balance of the car, with this heat. whenever you have a small snap, then you pay the price for the rest of the lap because the tyres overheat. so yeah, overall, great teamwork and hopefully we can keep this position. we were lacking a bit in qualifying, just a general grip, so it was a bit more tricky
6:33 am
than i think i would have hoped. but overall, i think we still have a decent race car and hopefully of course tomorrow, will come to our favour. i mean, we are quick on the straights, hopefully we can use that. denmark'sjonas vingegaard will ride onto the champs elysee for today's final stage of the tour de france knowing he'll be the winner. he protected his massive advantage at the top in the penultimate time trial stage and will ride into paris with the yellow jersey this afternoon. joe lynskey reports. after three weeks on the road, he was out in front on his own. he leads the race. alljonas vingegaard had to do was stay on his bike. he had the yellowjersey and tadej pogacar in second was more than three minutes behind. that would barely change in a time trial. so in the last outpost before paris, they all looked for a stage win. these rides are geraint thomas's speciality. he was secure in third for the tour, but this time on the day
6:34 am
he was a few seconds off the top. vingegaard too hoped to end with a win. he was pushing. close to losing the line there. but with that scare he backed off. it let wout van aert take the stage and it meantjust as much to him but out in front overall, vingegaard has never stopped. this is his ride. through all those weeks of solitude this was the release. denmark's second grand tour winner will ride into paris and know it was worth it. joe lynskey, bbc news. canada's brook henderson has a two shot lead going into the final round of golf�*s evian championship — the penultimate women's major of the year taking place in france. england's charley hull is tied sixth. she's six shots off the lead after a brilliant 67 yesterday. no doubt about the highlight — just take a look at this. her second shot at the 11th — you've guessed it. straight in for an eagle.

6:37 am
i just love the fact that i can film hands—free effortlessly. i can listen to music, i can make calls on these things. we start this week in one of europe's most breathtakingly beautiful destinations, venice, in north—east italy. this city on water is made up of over 100 islands, interconnected by a labyrinth of picture perfect canals and elegant bridges. life around here has remained
6:38 am
the same for hundreds of years and steadfast through that time have been the gondoliers of venice. they see themselves as custodians of the city. today, there are only 400 gondoliers left and they are almost exclusively used by tourists. so it was in the family? with the local population of around 50,000 people walked by 20 million with the local population of around 50,000 people dwarfed by 20 million visitors every year, the gondoliers aren't short of a customer or two.
6:39 am
and while that is good for business, the numbers swelling the main tourist areas inevitably create a huge problem. increased pollution, including discarded junk clogging up the famous waterways. but now some of the gondoliers who ply their trade in the 276 canals are doing something about it. they hope to solve at least some of the problem with a voluntary initiative to perform regular underwater canal clean—ups. what gave you the idea to start cleaning the canals? dredging up tonnes of rubbish
6:40 am
ranging from shopping trolleys to car tyres is a mammoth and potentially dangerous task. so the men are given bespoke training. they dive using specialist equipment in order to operate safely. and early on sunday morning, long before tourists arrive, i'm joining the guys for the real deal. that is one hard—core scuba—diving suit. there is not one bit of skin showing. i've dived before. i'm not sure i'd want to go into the canals of venice, as lovely as they are. i want to find out what the newly trained canal cleaners have to contend with. stefa no. ok, so what is all this?
6:41 am
the heart of the operation. the teams have to stay in constant communication. it is crucial to help the guys underwater cope with the difficult conditions. it must be very dark and gloomy. can you see? ok, you go by feel down there. so, stefano, how often do you do this? every sunday? i see. much of today's catch is all too familiar. right. since the clean—up began,
6:42 am
some 4000 carelessly discarded bottles have been retrieved. but later, a baffling object rears its head and has everyone mystified. there is something really big on the line here. it looks really, really heavy and there is about three of them trying to pull it out. what is that? oh, my goodness. it's a trolley. it's probably somebody�*s luggage from about 20 years ago that went off into the canal. look, it has been down there for so long it is covered in barnacles and slime and sludge. is that coral? is it sponge? no, no, these are sponges. wow. oh, there's a rope. what's it like down there?
6:43 am
mud, mud. mud. is it dangerous down there? the equipment they use is full protection against the pollution. because the problem is not really the water itself but the mud. the mud is laying in the canals years after years and is full of bacteria and chemical pollution. but what about the gondoliers when they are working? is it difficult if there is rubbish? yes, yes. when the tide is low, they feel something in the water that is not the real sea floor. you know? yeah. canals must be cleaned to transfer this idea
6:44 am
to the public is very important. and also for the sensibility of people, people living in venice and also tourists. that they don't have to throw things in the canals. once the rubbish has been retrieved, gondoliers hand it over to the local council to dispose of it correctly. it has been an impressive haul today and that is just from one trip. so with another 200 or more canals to go, something tells me they have got a lot to keep them busy for some time yet. so next time you are enjoying a leisurely ride along the waterways of venice, spare a thought for the gondoliers who donate their time to clean up the canals, even if they haven't mastered singing underwater yet. and if you are interested in a few days in venice in the nearfuture, here is a round—up of the best the city has to offer. all through the summer to november is the 59th venice biennale. as the name suggests, the contemporary art exhibition runs every two years.
6:45 am
but due to covid there has been a three—year gap. this year is heavily weighted towards women with 90% of the main exhibition given over to female artists. burano is a picturesque island in the venetian lagoon, famous for its handmade lace and colourful homes. go for a few hours in the morning or afternoon to wander around and take in the tranquillity and calm, away from the hustle of central venice. whatever you do, don't forget your camera. from burano you can then stop in to murano on your way back. this island is famous for its glass—making, which is considered a fine art. it dates back to 1291, when the venetian government ordered glass—makers in venice to relocate to murano to avoid causing a huge fire.
6:46 am
you could even find a workshop to try your hand at the craft. as we reported last month, from january 2023 you will have to pay a daily charge to enter if you aren't spending the night in the actual city itself. overnighters already pay a city tax at the hotel but for day trippers you will need to pre—book your slot and pay through an app. prices will vary between 3 euros and 10 euros per person, depending on how busy it is. still to come on the travel show... we meet the restauranteurs bringing hope to ukrainian refugees in london. i think that food can find a way just in the middle of the heart. it's that time of year again
6:47 am
where summer is in full flow in many countries around the world, which means one thing... festival season is finally upon us and after seeing cancellations of some of the biggest festivals over the past two years due to covid, i am more than ready to put on my boots and visit a campsite or two. to me, a music festival is the perfect place to unplug and unwind, all to the soundtrack of some banging tunes. i have spent way too much time on my sofa in recent years, so i feel a bit [oath to sacrifice my home comforts, even if it is just for the weekend. and if you feel the same way i do, help is at hand as i take a look at some of the best gadgets to chuck into your rucksack this summer season. so first up is your festival accommodation. i have got the quechua two—second 3xl. now, if you weren't in the scouts or the girl guides, which i definitely wasn't, then camping might not be your thing. but this tent has the potential to become a firm festival favourite. that is because, as the name
6:48 am
implies, it apparently pops up in just two seconds. so let's put that to the test. start your stopwatches. so, it didn't quite go up in two seconds but i think that has more to do with the person putting up the tent the natural tent itself. now it is up it is pretty spacious in here. whether you want to keep it all to yourself or share it with your friends and what will feel like an absolute godsend is a special lining that blocks out heat and light, which will be more than needed after a night of partying. right, i think it is time to check out some headliners. don't you just love going to a festival nowadays and seeing your favourite act through a sea of phone screens in front of you? but there is a new gadget designed to make the way we watch live
6:49 am
music change forever. these new ray ban glasses are designed to keep you in the moment and keep your followers up—to—date thanks to these nifty cameras that happen to link up to your social media. and with a quick clip or two we have photos and video sent to your phone ready to upload. i just love the fact that i can film hands—free effortlessly, i can listen to music, i can make and receive calls on these things. of course, filming on a pair of glasses is not without its privacy issues. it has a little led that pops up to let people know that you're filming although i don't know how visible i will be in direct sunlight.
6:50 am
then you have the download content off your phone to free up more space. and i was told on more than one occasion that these things had overheated which felt a bit disappointing but overall i am a massive, massive fan. these are awesome. but before i go, i want to test out these bad boys. guys, crank it up to 11. so the reason i wanted the band to play something loud is because i was testing out the flare audio isolate prose. ringing your is following the third night in a row of hanging beats. what these buds do is turn down the volume without reducing the quality. when you pull them out you realise just how loud the music is. they really do a really good job.
6:51 am
but don't worry, festivalgoers, i have one more gadget for you yet for when the dirty beats aren't the only thing. the foot pump builds a pressure which allows the shower to work. oh, it is cold! 50 clearly it is not going to rival your shower at home but it definitely beats baby wipes. you will be the envy of the campsite. it is not really the kind of thing that i would want to bring along to a festival but if one was there on the site i would definitely use it. because after that i'm feeling a lot cleaner and a lot more refreshed. and finally this week we are in london, where a ukrainian couple are embarking on a business venture to help those affected by the conflict back in their homeland. we sent a reporter to see how they're getting on.
6:52 am
the war between russia and ukraine has been going on for over 20 weeks now. more than 5 million refugees have fled ukraine and millions more have been displaced within the country itself. butjust here in london's earls court, in this unassuming building, there is a ray of hope. because one ukrainian couple are creating opportunities for some of these refugees in their new restaurant, whose name means dream. the restaurant is very much a work in progress but they are dreaming big. and every effort is being taken to evoke the spirit of ukraine. this is the bar area. this wall will look like the wall in old houses in ukrainian villages
6:53 am
when they didn't have proper building materials and they were using straw and clay. so it will be uneven, very authentic way how ukrainians used to build the houses. we arrive to london five days before the war started. for us it was a short work visit and we have return tickets which we never used. when the war started we made a decision to stay here. and how did you feel at that point because you are stranded here and you had close friends and family in ukraine? all the time since the 24th of february you are receiving just bad news and it's very, very exhausting. since they've been in the uk, they have helped raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for ukraine through events with celebrity chefs like jamie oliver and tom kitchin. that is part of our mission, notjust a fun race but also
6:54 am
not just a fundraise but also to remind the world community about ukraine through the language of food. so we are giving employment to ukrainian forced migrants and then we want to fill this place with ukrainian energy through textiles, furniture and all other beautiful things, which talented ukrainian artists are creating. undeniably, the main draw is going to be the food. something the head chef is very passionate about. he is even a culinary ambassadorfor ukraine. why is it so important for you that people here and around the world know about ukrainian food? i think that food can find a way just in the middle of the heart. because of diplomacy, it is always about the brain, you are talking, trying to find some special ways. but the food is coming to the heart and afterwards your brain.
6:55 am
you even can change your mind after a good dinner. so here it is five days fermented cucumbers. wow. i want to give you a piece to taste. today the day when we put it in a can. that salt is in here? yeah. it is the most popular salt in ukraine but now the place where they're producing salt is a battlefield. so the factory's closed. you can't get it. it is finished even in ukraine so when i found it here in uk i was happy like a baby. i bought everything i can find. let me try. sure. that is such a rich, tangy, lovely taste.
6:56 am
joining me for my bowl of food is a ukrainian refugee who will be working as a waiter here when the restaurant opens in a few weeks' time. so let's just start from the beginning really which is how did you find yourself in england? what happened 7 on the 24th of february the war began. we had to think about the ways to flee the war basically from ukraine. because unfortunately there is not a single safe place in ukraine. so the city that i was in also got bombed. so my mum just insisted on me leaving. how difficult is it to do this when you know what's happening back home? it is really hard and i am on the phone with my mum all the time. i am always checking the news. i wake up with the phone in my hand and a go to sleep with the phone in my hand. it is very pressuring, i would say.
6:57 am
just finally, why do you think it is important there is this restaurant specialising in ukrainian food with a top chef. why is important to have that here? i think it is really important to share culture because everyone knows about russian culture but not many people know about ukrainian one. so it is really important to show people that we have a deep, diverse culture with different traditions, different food that is really tasty and amazing. and that would be great to show that to people. i've got to say, i'm struck by the resilience of the ukrainians i've met today and the strength of their community. and hopefully one day in the not too distant future, dasha's family will be able to visit the restaurant for themselves. well, that is it for this week. coming up next time... we visit the greek island one year
6:58 am
after the devastating forest fires that occurred there. to find out if the island's tourism industry is ready to bounce back. i have been sent in pictures of the place that we are on our way to. looks lovely. it looks really lush, green, fertile. but i've been told since the fires have hit this whole area, it now looks very different. even looking out the window, look at that. just as far as the eye can see, all you are looking at is burnt trees. and don't forget you can catch up on the bbc iplayer. we are also on social media too along with a whole host of delights from across the bbc. but until next time from all of us here in venice, it's goodbye.
6:59 am
7:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast, with nina warhurst and roger johnson. our headlines today: a third day of delays and disruption expected at the port of dover and channel tunnel after two days of gridlock. well, overnight work has been taking place to try to move a backlog of 1500 lorries from the motorway. —— lorries. it is already getting busy here in dover, and around folkestone some families have been forced to sleep overnight in their cars. the world health organization declares the monkeypox outbreak a global health emergency after a rise in cases across the world. conservative leadership candidates rishi sunak and liz truss both
7:01 am
pledge tighter controls on immigration as their campaigning steps up a gear. a fifth medal for great britain at the world athletics championships, the men's 4x100 metres relay team win bronze behind canada and the usa. we'll be catching up with the guys later in the show. good morning. it was a wet night across parts of scotland and northern ireland. there are more heavy downpours to come here during today. but further south and east, it will be turning hot, with high temperatures of 30 degrees. more weather on the way. it's sunday, the 24th ofjuly. our top story: holidaymakers and hauliers are being warned to expect a third day of disruption around the port of dover and the channel tunnel. a major incident alert remains in place as officials work to clear a backlog of more than 1,000 lorries stranded on nearby motorways. simon jones has the latest. working through the night at the port of dover,
7:02 am
to try to clear the backlog of traffic. and there is a warning that for a third day, the summer getaway may end in gridlock. saturday saw little let—up in the long waits to cross the channel, with the roads around eurotunnel suffering too. as we approached, all the roads in all directions were just nose to tail, people out of their cars, playing games at the side of the road. so i think actually, the infrastructure around the port, around the tunnel, needs to be looked at. because it's not fair on the locals. the immediate challenge has been to get the 1500 hgvs parked on the motorway on their way. we have lorries currently stacking on the m20 as part of operation brock, some of them have been there for several, several hours. and we need to now help them get through and across the channel. so we need to make sure that some priority�*s given to help get some freight across, but ultimately we now need to see some movement. the blame game continues. the british government said the french authorities had failed
7:03 am
to mobilise enough border staff to check passports, and demanded action to resolve what it's calling a terrible situation. the french transport minister hit back, insisting france is not responsible for brexit and the extra checks that brings. but there are now growing calls from politicians in kent for new infrastructure, such as lorry parks, to get freight off the road when there's cross—channel disruption. what we've been pushing for, for quite a long time, is to say that these should be treated as projects of national significance, nationally significant infrastructure. because clearly it has, as we've been talking about, a horrible effect on people in kent, and a damaging effect. it's also significant from the point of view of the country as a whole. this is the artery through which so much of our trade goes. the department for transport says it's investing more than £30 million to improve lorry parking facilities in england, but for now, the warning is that the coming months are set to be challenging. it will still be very, very busy throughout the whole summer. we've got another busy week on the next weekend,
7:04 am
huge numbers of tourists crossing. we're back to pre—pandemic levels of tourists that are crossing the channel. in fact, in some places it's been even busier than it was three 01’ four years ago. so we are prepared for that, we have traffic management plans in place in kent to really deal with that. and this weekend, the major incident declared by the authorities remains in force. simonjones, bbc news, dover. we can speak to simon in dover now. what's the advice for anyone travelling today? it is sunday, you might imagine things are a bit quieter there today? things are a bit quieter there toda ? ~ , ., ., things are a bit quieter there toda ? ~ ., ., , today? well, you have said it many times before. _ today? well, you have said it many times before, check _ today? well, you have said it many times before, check before - today? well, you have said it many times before, check before you - times before, check before you travel. because it is going to be a very busy day here. overnight the congestion eased but it is starting to build up again. if you look down there you can see some of the
7:05 am
vehicles arriving, trying to get over the english channel. today they are expecting around 6500 cars to attempt the crossing here in dover alone. that is down slightly from the 10,000 they saw yesterday, but it is still going to be a really busy day. we are hearing this morning but the main problem seems to be around the eurotunnel terminal in folkestone. the problem is that part of the 20 motorway has been shut, it has become a giant lorry park for flurries that can't get across the channel. —— m20 motorway. that means other traffic, weather trying to head to dover or folkestone or even just get around the local area, is being diverted onto minor roads, they have become gridlocked. so some people who have been trying to get to eurotunnel in folkestone have had to sleep in their car. in the past hour on breakfast we spoke to one family of five, it is fair to say they have had a pretty grim experience. 50. five, it is fair to say they have had a pretty grim experience. so, we arrived at folkestone _
7:06 am
had a pretty grim experience. so, we arrived at folkestone about - had a pretty grim experience. so, we arrived at folkestone about 9am - arrived at folkestone about 9am yesterday morning for a train at half past — yesterday morning for a train at half past ten. and then we have slowly _ half past ten. and then we have slowly been crawling along for the past 21_ slowly been crawling along for the past 21 plus hours. we slowly been crawling along for the past 21 plus hours.— slowly been crawling along for the past 21 plus hours. we are going! we are iiettin past 21 plus hours. we are going! we are getting on _ past 21 plus hours. we are going! we are getting on the — past 21 plus hours. we are going! we are getting on the train! _ past 21 plus hours. we are going! we are getting on the train! hooray! - are getting on the train! hooray! where am _ are getting on the train! hooray! where am by — are getting on the train! hooray! where am by going? _ are getting on the train! hooray! where am by going? anywhere, | are getting on the train! hooray! - where am by going? anywhere, drives! well, relief where am by going? anywhere, drives! well. relief for — where am by going? anywhere, drives! well, relief for that _ where am by going? anywhere, drives! well, relief for that family, _ well, relief for that family, finally, live on breakfast. that was just an hour ago. but i think there is a lot of anger. people are saying they are not getting enough information from eurotunnel and some would never have set out in the first place had they realised how bad the local roads here were, because they didn't want to spend the night sleeping in their cars. another interesting thing is this blame game that has been going on, because the local mp here in dover, natalie elphick, says she thinks the french authorities should apologise to the people of dover in folkestone for the disruption over the past few
7:07 am
days. the accusation was that france did not have enough staff to properly staffed their border controls here in dover, and that initially caused the chaos. but the french authorities say it is simply a matter of infrastructure, that the port of dover cannot cope when there are lots of tourists coming through, and also the same in folkestone. they think the finger should be pointed out the british government for a failure of investment.- for a failure of investment. simon, in dover, thank _ for a failure of investment. simon, in dover, thank you. _ the two conservative candidates left in the race to become prime minister will set out their plans to control immigration this morning. rishi sunak has promised to cap the number of refugees who will be allowed into the uk, and liz truss wants a 20% increase in frontline border staff. let's talk to our political correspondent, tony bonsignore. tony, the candidates appear to have similar views on this policy? when they were talking about tax last week, there was massive, clear blue water between them, they had
7:08 am
very different views. but they seem to have similar views on immigration?— to have similar views on immiaration? ., ., ., immigration? good morning, roger and nina. yes, certainly _ immigration? good morning, roger and nina. yes, certainly the _ immigration? good morning, roger and nina. yes, certainly the trust _ immigration? good morning, roger and nina. yes, certainly the trust of - nina. yes, certainly the trust of both rishi sunak and liz truss, their policies on immigration, are very similar. —— the thrust. they both want to clamp down on illegal immigration and both want to press ahead with the rwanda plan. there are important differences between what the two candidates are saying. i will give you a bit of flavour. liz truss says she wants to extend that scheme to other countries beyond rwanda, she wants to strengthen the bill of rights, and also she wants to increase the number of border staff by about 20%. rishi sunak says the current system is chaotic and broken, he wants to narrow the definition of who is allowed in the country as an asylum seeker, he wants enhanced powers to
7:09 am
detain anyone. he wants this cap on the number of refugees allowed in annually, that would be set by parliament. the important thing for both candidates is that the conservatives have been in powerfor 12 years, and both of those two have been at the heart of government for the past few years. it is difficult for them to make the case that things are going to be massively different, given how closely associated they are. it still feels like ahead of that first televised debate on the bbc tomorrow night that tax is the defining issue so far in this contest.— far in this contest. tony, thank ou. the united states has accused russia of worsening a global food crisis by carrying out a missile strike on the ukrainian port of odesa. the attack came just hours after a landmark deal to resume grain shipments from ukraine. we can speak now to our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, who joins us from kyiv. paul, how has ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, reacted to the strike? what has
7:10 am
. well, predictably, president zelensky thinks _ . well, predictably, president zelensky thinks this - . well, predictably, president zelensky thinks this is - . well, predictably, president zelensky thinks this is just . . well, predictably, president| zelensky thinks this is just yet more proof that russia can't be trusted to keep its word. and i think that has been the general reaction here. this was an agreement that was not a demonstration of any goodwill or good faith on the part of russia, but something ukraine argues russia was sort of compelled to do in order to remove this accusation that it is holding the world to ransom and using food as a weapon, and also as a result, ukraine would argue, of the kind of military pressure ukraine was able to put on russian forces in the black sea. 50 they felt russia had been dragged kicking and screaming into signing this agreement, and so even though there was outrage yesterday when those missiles landed in odesa there was not any great surprise, frankly.— in odesa there was not any great surprise, frankly. paul, ntf, thank ou. -- surprise, frankly. paul, ntf, thank you- -- in — surprise, frankly. paul, ntf, thank you- -- in kyiv- — the bbc podcast you, me,
7:11 am
and the big c, with the late dame deborahjames, has been honoured at the british podcast awards. dame deborah started the audio show with the late rachael bland and lauren mahon back in 2018 to discuss the realities of living with cancer. lauren was there to collect the podcast champion award. these podcast awards are our happy place. it was where we won one of our first place. it was where we won one of ourfirst big awards, place. it was where we won one of our first big awards, without rachel, and it was a bit surreal to say the least, and for me to be standing without both of my girls when it is not right, is it? i don't think there are many other pod casts you can say that would be standing up you can say that would be standing up here whose cohosts are not with them because they have died of the subject matter, but that is why we do what we do. we knew it was a risk when we started it, and it was something we would continue to champion. difficult for lauren, but great credit to the whole team involved. a huge impact. credit to the whole team involved. a huge impact-—
7:12 am
credit to the whole team involved. a hue im act. . , ., here's ben with a look at the weather. good morning. a real mix of weather to come this sunday. but a beautiful start to the day. a gorgeous, calm start to the day. a gorgeous, calm start for our weather watcher in guernsey, with some early sunshine. not everybody is so lucky because there has been some pretty wet weather overnight up towards the north—west of the uk. more showers to come here today, but towards the south—east corner, heat building, high temperatures of potentially 30 degrees. last night this lump of heavy rain drifted across northern ireland, 30 millimetres, just over an inch, injust one hour in some places. but weather then shifted north across scotland. this band of rain set itself up across lincolnshire, the midlands, wales, just getting into parts of south—western england. we will see some rain coming and going in these areas, merseyside and greater manchester through the day. northern ireland and scotland seeing sunny
7:13 am
spells, but further heavy and potentially thundery showers. easy for many, but the winds will feel right across the north—western parts later. so showers can be quite slow—moving. towards the south—east corner, that is where we'll see the best of the sunshine at high temperatures, but we're not talking 40 as we saw earlier in the week, but still 30 in norwich. it is hot by most standards. through this evening and tonight we will see some further showers, especially northern scotland, some pretty heavy bursts of rain here. turning windy with gales developing in shetland later in the night. a few showers elsewhere, may some missed that like that was last night, and a rather warm and humid night, 14— 18 degrees. we start the working week with low pressure dominating the weather, some brisk winds around the western flank of that low pressure system, especially in the far north of scotland. we could see gales through the day, gusts of 40 or 50 miles an hour or more in places. some showers around and quite a lot
7:14 am
of cloud stop this is a showery rain that will give thunder and lightning is idrus across southern scotland and parts of northern england. those are the average wind speeds, but the gusts will be stronger than that stop and with those when starting to come down from the north, temperatures will drop back a little bit. temperatures will drop back a little hit. 15 degrees, for example, in aberdeen. that is below the norm for this time of year. 24 is be high in london. as we move deeper into the week stop low pressure shifting north—east. high—pressure starting to build in. that means a lot of dry weather in the forecast. it won't be completely dry, they might be one or two showers, but for most of our cities, certainly before capital cities, certainly before capital cities, it predominantly dry. some spells of sunshine, temperatures may climb a little bit towards the end of the week, but the south—eastern areas that could really do with some rain, there is very little of that in the forecast. sunday, a mixed bag and ran up to the north—west. towards the south and the east. roger, nina, back to you. as we've been hearing, the race to succeed borisjohnson
7:15 am
as conservative party leader is gathering pace this weekend, with rishi sunak and liz truss setting out their stalls as to why they should be the uk's next prime minister. so how are their policy pledges going down with the party faithful so far? let's get the verdicts from the former editor of conservative home tim montgomery and sonia sodha, who is a columnist at the observer. good morning to you both. i will start with you, sonia. this morning across the papers it seems that immigration is going to be a big issue. they will are set their stalls out in terms of that today. why is that so important to conservative party members? well, i think it is an — conservative party members? well, i think it is an example _ conservative party members? well, i think it is an example of _ conservative party members? well, i think it is an example of both - conservative party members? well, i think it is an example of both rishi i think it is an example of both rishi sunak and liz truss moving right as they try to attract the votes of conservative party members. as you have just said, conservative party members. as you havejust said, it conservative party members. as you have just said, it is conservative party members. as you havejust said, it is members conservative party members. as you have just said, it is members who will be voting for our next prime minister, a very small group of people. around 160,000 people who
7:16 am
are not representative of the voters. conservative members do sit to the right of the electorate on issues like immigration, and i think thatis issues like immigration, and i think that is why you are seeing the candidates making these pictures. there are a couple of things to say about that. sunak says he is going to put a cap on the number of people that the uk grants are silent too. that is straightforwardly unlawful, under international law, to which britain is a signatory. this is what is frustrating for people who are not in the conservative party watching this contest. you are seeing it have a very internal conversation, a very navelgazing conversation, a very navelgazing conversation, amongst itself. because it is one member, one vote in the conservative party, it is dragging the leadership candidates out to the right and it is not having a conversation with the country. you are seeing them make ledgers that they know they are not going to be able to enforce. this one in particular would be unlawful under the refugee convention, in an effort to get votes from conservative members. it feels like a totally unsatisfactory way of
7:17 am
choosing the next prime minister. tim, do you feel that sunak in particular is moving into an area that perhaps he is not that comfortable in, just in order to secure those boats?— comfortable in, just in order to secure those boats? look, rishi sunak is no _ secure those boats? look, rishi sunak is no longer _ secure those boats? look, rishi sunak is no longer chancellor i secure those boats? look, rishi sunak is no longer chancellor ofj secure those boats? look, rishi - sunak is no longer chancellor of the exchequer. he is trying to be prime minister, so he obviously has to talk about issues other than the economy. i think he is so associated in voters' mines and tory members' mines with the economy, he is obviously trying to diversify his image. —— minds. he was talking about the nhs yesterday and is obviously talking about emigration today. but to agree a little —— disagree a little bit with sonia, it is notjust disagree a little bit with sonia, it is not just an disagree a little bit with sonia, it is notjust an issue of concern to conservative members. the vast majority of uk citizens, 70%, are concerned about emigration because it is a sense of who we are as an island race. whether we can control our borders. so border control is
7:18 am
incredibly important, notjust for conservatives but for the voters at large. tory members often get a sort of reputation as being unrepresentative, but actually, unlike labour members, they are very interested in the elected ability of their leaders —— electability. so if either of the candidates, liz truss rishi sunak, looks unpopular with the british people at a future general election, that won't help them in the race to succeed boris johnson at all. tory members are looking for electability, so the viewers to this programme indirectly, through opinion polls, have a strong influence on this race. y ., have a strong influence on this race. ,, ~ have a strong influence on this race. i. ~ , ., ., race. do you think there is a world in which tory _ race. do you think there is a world in which tory members _ race. do you think there is a world in which tory members might - race. do you think there is a world j in which tory members might vote race. do you think there is a world - in which tory members might vote not necessarily for the candidate they would prefer but the one that might stand up better to keir starmer? i think so. a few years ago there was a race between david davis and david cameron to become tory leader and david davis was the more right wing of the two characters, but opinion
7:19 am
poll after opinion poll suggested that david cameron was the person most likely then to beat tony blair. it was david cameron that tory members chose. and there is a big debate on the bbc, i think tomorrow night, that tory members will be looking at closely. that is going to be an important moment in this debate. but the opinion polls that have —— that are produced of the british public, will weigh heavily on tory members' mines. ihtnd british public, will weigh heavily on tory members' mines. and 'ust extendin: on tory members' mines. and 'ust extending that fl on tory members' mines. and 'ust extending that thought i on tory members' mines. and 'ust extending that thought quickly]- on tory members' mines. and just l extending that thought quickly from tim, there is a bit of disquiet, isn't there, among conservative grassroots members, we understand, about the two candidates. that lets face it, the mps are the ones that shows the final two. there is a bit of disquiet about the actual lineup, it is maybe not quite what they would have wanted. you it is maybe not quite what they would have wanted.— would have wanted. you are completely _ would have wanted. you are completely right, _ would have wanted. you are completely right, roger. - would have wanted. you are - completely right, roger. personally, ithink if completely right, roger. personally, i think if we had had a race between
7:20 am
badinoch and tugenhaat, the former army officer who served in afghanistan, they were two fresh faces —— tom tugendhat. they were authentic candidates and i think they would have got the country and they would have got the country and the party, the country at large, much more excited. people are wanting something of a fresh start in government at the moment, and the trouble with liz trust and rishi sunak is they have been so much part of the boris johnson years sunak is they have been so much part of the borisjohnson years that i don't think they give that impression —— truss. they don't give that excitement that tom tugendhat and kemi would have given. from that excitement that tom tugendhat and kemi would have given.- and kemi would have given. from a labour and kemi would have given. from a labour point _ and kemi would have given. from a labour point of _ and kemi would have given. from a labour point of view, _ and kemi would have given. from a labour point of view, who _ and kemi would have given. from a labour point of view, who would - and kemi would have given. from a i labour point of view, who would they rather see elected as leader of the conservative party? would they rather have rishi sunak, liz truss, 0rd do they not care? i
7:21 am
rather have rishi sunak, liz truss, 0rd do they not care?— rather have rishi sunak, liz truss, 0rd do they not care? i think there is an argument _ 0rd do they not care? i think there is an argument that _ 0rd do they not care? i think there is an argument that they _ 0rd do they not care? i think there is an argument that they might - 0rd do they not care? i think there l is an argument that they might have been best with borisjohnson, who did have to go in the national interest. i think it is difficult to tell at this stage of a leadership race and indeed during the leadership race who is going to perform better or worse against labour. there are these polls that go out that say to people how would you vote in a keir starmer versus liz truss or keir starmer versus rishi sunak general election and people do give answers, but it is very difficult to know until one of those candidates is prime minister and is seen as prime minister exactly how that fight would play out. i think people in labour will be watching to see how this turns out, essentially. but! be watching to see how this turns out, essentially. but i do think that kim is right, actually, that both liz truss and rishi sunak are seen as people who propped up boris johnson. in many ways they are products of borisjohnson. they were promoted by him as a result of their perceived loyalty to him and their willingness to go along with what he
7:22 am
wanted to do in government. i think that for the country at large, they will see them very much as associated with borisjohnson. but i think it is hard to make that prediction. 1.i think it is hard to make that prediction. 1.1 would make about this immigration debate, if we come back to that, and it is set to dominate this week, i think it is very important not to confuse emigration with asylum and people seeking refuge from — people who are fleeing conflict and torture and war. what rishi sunak is talking about is putting a cap on people who have legitimate asylum claims who are granted refuge, saying that he doesn't want britain to grant refuge to too many people. i think that is fundamentally anti— british. written was one of the first signatories to the 1951 refugee convention and i don't think there is widespread public support for it, actually. it is very troubling this conflation we see sometimes from politicians, and labour politicians used to do it as
7:23 am

7:39 am
accessible for everybody. it is now, because of this, this special track that has just been put down. and it was the idea of nikki dack. nikki, why did you want to do it? i wanted something for everybody, to get on the beach and be able to use. coming down to the beach, you know, with my family, i was stuck up on the promenade while they were on the beach. so you up here and they were down there? how did that feel? it made me feel... not part, i wanted to be part of it. nicky dack, who has multiple sclerosis, started her campaign for better beach access in seaton just a year ago. it's just amazing. to get her down on the beach, we always walk along the promenade, don't we, but to get down on the beach, it is just special. it just feels warming, it is heartwarming, she isjust amazing, what she has done.
7:40 am
the scheme has been paid for by the local district and town councils. we recognise that the demographic in seaton is such that we've got lots of people who have mobility issues or are disabled, and i think it is really important they should have the same opportunity to use and enjoy the beach as able—bodied people can. it's a pilot project for the summer, but there's already talk of it becoming a permanent feature. if the scheme is well used, and we get good feedback from everyone, i can't see why not. and maybe even extend things further. nicky dack is seaton born and bred and she loves where she lives. and thanks to her new track, she and others can now enjoy even more of it. kirk england, bbc news. what a brilliant idea. it is one of those things once it is pointed out to you in that way, you wouldn't necessarily notice how difficult it is for lots of people to access the

7:42 am
certainly not talking a05, but certainly in some south—eastern parts like hove, where we have started off with some sunshine, it will be pretty hot. parts of east anglia could get to sa stop in the north—west of the uk, lots of showers in the forecast. this lump of public —— envy and thundery rain across the north of ireland, the delivered 30 millimetres of rain in just one hour in parts of county tyrone. but shifted north—east across scotland, so i wet night for some here. more in the form of heavy and thundery showers with spells of sunshine in between. we have this bit of rain affecting parts of lincolnshire, the midlands, south—west england, that might drift north towards saint merseyside and greater manchester as well, as we go through the days. it will be fairly breezy but the winds will feel light across parts of north—western scotland, so the showers here will be quite slow moving through the afternoon. but when we have the best about sunshine in the south—east corner, 27 for london and dirty the top temperature in norwich. a5
7:43 am
corner, 27 for london and dirty the top temperature in norwich. as we go through this evening and overnight, more heavy downpours, especially across scotland, thunder and lightning possible. in northern scotland the wind will pick up through the night. gail is likely across shetland later on. a few showers elsewhere, areas of cloud, missed and murkier and there on what will be another warm and muggy night, lows between ia and 18. we the night, lows between 1a and 18. we the working week with low pressure in charge, quite a few lines and isobars, meaning brisk winds, we will continue to see gales and gusts of maybe a0—50 miles an hour. showers around through tomorrow. quite a lot of cloud as well. this little band of rain moving across scotland, south into northern england, that could generate some thunder and lightning and some pretty intense rainfall for some. a change in the wind direction, the wind coming down from the north or the north—west. set up will feel cooler. temperatures ofjust 15 in aberdeen, for example. that is actually below par for this time of
7:44 am
year. 2a the top temperature in london. now, as we look further ahead we swap outer area of low pressure for this area of high pressure for this area of high pressure which is going to build its way in from the west. high pressure tends to keep things dry, which on the face of it might be good news for those northwestern parts which have seen so much rain overnight and into the first part of today, but for many parts of the uk at the moment we could really do with some rain. we saw how dry things have been with the fires that ignited across some areas earlier in the week, but mostly dry, that is not necessarily great news, as far as the temperatures go, the week starts on a decidedly cool note for some of us, but later in the week some of those temperatures might climb, tick newly towards the south of the uk. still lots going on with the weather and nothing as hot as we have had. back to you. there are nowjust four days to go until the commonwealth games get underway in birmingham. one of the new sports
7:45 am
making its debut at the games is 3x3 basketball. all you need is a hoop, a half—court and six players, and we happen to have two team england members to talk to right now. shanice beckford—norton and jamell anderson join us now from the athletes' village in birmingham. you are there bright and early. thank you for getting up to talk to us. just explain a little bit about acro one. jamell, you go first. yes. acro one. jamell, you go first. yes, so it is kind — acro one. jamell, you go first. yes, so it is kind of _ acro one. jamell, you go first. yes, so it is kind of like _ acro one. jamell, you go first. yes, so it is kind of like five _ acro one. jamell, you go first. yes, so it is kind of like five on - acro one. jamell, you go first. yes, so it is kind of like five on five - so it is kind of like five on five but it is more condensed so it is a lot quicker. the games are only ten minutes long, it is only half of the court. it isjust minutes long, it is only half of the court. it is just more exciting, a lot more fast paced. i know that everyone who comes to watch is really going to enjoy it. find really going to en'oy it. and shanice really going to en'oy it. and shanice. * really going to en'oy it. and shanice. i h really going to en'oy it. and shanice, i think _ really going to enjoy it. and shanice, i think it _ really going to enjoy it. and shanice, i think it is - really going to enjoy it. and shanice, i think it is the - really going to enjoy it. and shanice, i think it is the kind of thing where you may have seen, one—on—one and two on two, but this is three on three on the same hoop.

7:49 am
0h! 0h, that'5100% chocolate, isn't it? oh, that is awful! you did volunteer to be the one to eat the chocolate. it tastes like tarmac. cocoa is, of course, the main ingredient of chocolate and it does have its impact on the environment, as well as the communities that harvest it. so my question to you is do you think it's possible to create something that tasted like that chocolate without the cocoa? well, you could probably create something that's brown, sweet stuff, but if it doesn't have cocoa in it, it's not chocolate, right? well, i've been to see a man who lives on a boat who's been stirring the pot. material scientist drjohnny drain likes to wonder what things could be made of, whether it's a smartphone screen, the michelin—star restaurant dishes he's created, or wanting to figure out how to replace cocoa. this is the lab on the boat where the chocolate story begins. oh, wow! come on board.
7:50 am
thank you. what's this? so, this is some of the ingredients that we started developing chocolate with. kinky salt? kinky salts. what most people don't realise about cocoa in chocolate is that about 70% of it is produced in just two countries in west africa — ghana and ivory coast. and there are issues with labour in those parts of the world. at a conservative estimate, it's thought that 1.5 million children are on these cacao farms, working with their families predominantly. is this, however, not taking away income from countries that really need it? those countries do need that income and those hard—working farmers need to be supported, but the state of the current cacao and chocolate industry is such that those people are working on $1 or less a day and it's not an equitable trade. i started thinking, "why does chocolate taste like chocolate? " and, you know, when you — if you put your scientist hat on, it'sjust a bunch of compounds and it's quite complex but, essentially, it's just a bunch of compounds.
7:51 am
and then thinking, "well, can you make that flavour profile, starting from something that is not cacao beans? "could you start with potatoes or rice?" and what is it made from? well, we can't tell you the secrets of exactly what we do but our hero ingredients are barley — which has this, you know, rich tradition of being used to make whiskey and beer — and also carob. and we found, using this combination of fermentation and roasting, which is what you do to turn cacao into chocolate, we've taken that principle, that philosophy and turned these ingredients into alt—choc. and that magic of mixing now happens in the lab. talk me through the process. where does it all start? melt the fat if it needs melting and then just mix it all in the melangeur. so, it keeps grinding for a8 hours and after that, yeah, we just proceed to temper
7:52 am
the chocolate and mould it. that science resulting in a mixture containing 15% less sugar than its chocolate equivalent. ok, that is looking particularly appetising, so i'm going for this first. right, eating on camera is always very messy. mmm! absolutely delicious! but i genuinely wouldn't know that that wasn't cocoa. amazing. it tastes — i would think that was about 60—70% cocoa. that's what we're aiming at with these ones, yep. yeah. and that is the chocolate that i like. so, my daughter, who loves a kind of cadbury or galaxy milk chocolate, i'm not sure how she'd feel about it but for someone who is into dark chocolate, wow. i genuinely can't tell the difference. what's your price point going to be like? initially, we'll go in at that — that level of luxury premium dark chocolate but within two years, we aim to have price parity with mass—produced milk chocolate prices.
7:53 am
and are you going to produce something which is more like the milk chocolate? we'll do both, and we might even do a white chocolate ultimately. there are another couple of companies in this space too, but wnwn's bars will go on sale later this year. and they're not only for humans to enjoy. with no theobromine in it, unlike regular chocolate, you can give a piece to your dog — if you can bear to part with it. mmm. lovely. come on, be honest — how many takes did you need for that? they only let me have one of each chocolate! i believe you. we believe her, don't we, boys and girls? right, it's your turn to close your eyes now. 0k. 0k, do that. now, what can you see? um, patterns? yeah. so, when people look at flickering lights through closed eyelids, different people see different things. it's a bit like when you're
7:54 am
on a train and the light�*s shining behind the trees and it comes and goes. exactly! now, this is a phenomena — you can open your eyes, by the way, now — this is a phenomena that's been known about for quite a while but now, there is an experience which is part science, part art, part music and part light that's trying to find out more about how your brain works, and it's pretty trippy. in this building, in this room, i'm about to have an experience. what kind of experience? possibly this kind of experience. what i saw was like a deep sea, so it's like a sea and i'm walking down the stairs into the water and the water is very blue, and i step in the water to feel the atmosphere and i feel calm. we've all been given blankets. we've been told that we've got to sit back and close our eyes and then, we're going to be bathed in lights and sounds.
7:55 am
and apart from that, i have no idea what to expect, so here goes nothing. with this project, we wanted to give people kind of an experience where they, for themselves, recognise the power of their brain in generating everything they experience. i'm in the dreamachine, a 30—minute sound and light show which you experience with your eyes closed. sounds weird, i know, and i think it's going to be. and apparently, even though we're all under the same lights, our brains will do different things. some people see shapes and colours, some people, like, just be dreaming or having images of, i don't know, the sunshine or nature or the ocean or colours and rainbows and travelling through space and dimensions. the lights go down, the music
7:56 am
comes up and the dreamachine begins. now, the full experience uses strobe lighting, which we can't show you on tv, and which means those who are sensitive to flashing lights will need to do the more gentle version. but what i felt and i what i saw, even though my eyes were closed, was really unexpected. even though the strobes are only white light, through my eyelids, i saw a kaleidoscope of colours. this is my best attempt to show you the kind of things that i experienced and, along with intricate swirling and sparkling patterns, there was even something that looked a bit like i was flying through clouds. my brain seemed to take its best guess at what was going on, based on the light signals that it was getting. because the brain is not actually getting any structured visual input, it's just white light, it'sjust flickering white light, the brain is trying to make sense of it
7:57 am
somehow and it's very hard for it to make sense of what's going on, so it makes up a lot of stuff, it makes up stuff that is, i think, very closely related to the underlying wiring of the brain. after the experience, we're invited to try and record what we saw in drawing or using particle simulators, but it was talking about it with my producer romana where we could best record our different experiences. i think the thing that was most amazing immediately was all the colours that i saw. i had loads of colours... right. ..wherea5 you... just the blues and reds. yeah. chuckles. no, i really enjoyed it because i usually don't switch off easily and here, i very much switched off. do you think you have no choice because your senses are being overwhelmed, so for people who can't do it in — in calm situations, if you do the opposite and overwhelm people's senses, they have no choice but to go into almost a defensive
7:58 am
meditative state? i think, yeah, because it's really hard to for me to enter that state when i don't have mental chatter, but my mental chatter was gone. but then, i was also not sleeping—sleeping, so it was — i guess what they say with different brain wavelengths... oh, yeah. ..i'd love to see actually, which one was i on? and it turns out that romana was spot—on. we use a number of different frequencies in the dreamachine of the flashing light but the frequencies that are most effective are ones that are around ten hertz, ten cycles per second, because that's a similar frequency to what we call the alpha rhythm in the brain. one of the things that's happening in the dreamachine is that your brain is syncing to the frequency of the light. the dreamachine was, for me, calming but fascinating. and through thousands of drawings from participants, plus an accompanying online perception census, anil is hoping to learn more about how and why each of us
7:59 am
experiences the world differently. the patterns that people see and the colours that people see, the movement that people see — that's very, very tightly linked to the organisation — the wiring, if you like — of the visual cortex in the brain. and it seems that what's happening is that by the strobe light activating the visual cortex in a situation where it's not expecting to be activated because your eyes are closed, deep—seated aspects of the wiring of the brain itself kind of surface into our experience. we see reflections and shadows of the brain looking at itself. you felt like you were flying? did you really feel weightless? not really. i think my brain was just trying to make sense of what was going on, based on the signals that it was getting. and everyone has a different experience. they do, and that's why they're trying to get as many people involved as possible, so the dreamachine is leaving london this weekend and then going on to belfast and to edinburgh after that. anyway, that's it for
8:00 am
the shortcut of this week's click. the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. in the meantime, i'm going to try and make lara feel like she's flying. 0k, and i'm going to feed spencer some more chocolate. good morning welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and roger johnson. 0ur headlines today: a third day of delays and disruption expected at the port of dover and channel tunnel after two days of gridlock. here in dover, it is already getting busy again, they are expecting 6500

8:02 am
holiday—makers and hauliers are being warned to expect a third day of disruption around the port of dover and the channel tunnel. a major incident alert remains in place as officials work to clear a backlog of more than a thousand lorries stranded on nearby motorways. simonjones has the latest. working through the night at the port of dover, to try to clear the backlog of traffic. and there is a warning that for a third day, the summer getaway may end in gridlock. saturday saw little let—up in the long waits to cross the channel, with the roads around eurotunnel suffering too. as we approached, all the roads in all directions were just nose to tail, people out of their cars, playing games at the side of the road. so i think actually, the infrastructure around the port, around the tunnel, needs to be looked at. because it's not fair on the locals. the immediate challenge has been to get the 1500 hgvs parked on the motorway on their way. we have lorries currently stacking on the m20 as part of operation brock, some of them have been there for
8:03 am
several, several hours. and we need to now help them get through and across the channel. so we need to make sure that some priority�*s given to help get some freight across, but ultimately we now need to see some movement. the blame game continues. the british government said the french authorities had failed to mobilize enough border staff to check passports, and demanded action to resolve what it's calling a terrible situation. the french transport minister hit back, insisting france is not responsible for brexit and the extra checks that brings. but there are now growing calls from politicians in kent for new infrastructure, such as lorry parks, to get freight off the road when there's cross—channel disruption. what we've been pushing for, for quite a long time, is to say that these should be treated as projects of national significance, nationally significant infrastructure. because clearly it has, as we've been talking about, a horrible effect on people in kent, and a damaging effect. it's also significant from the point of view of the country as a whole. this is the artery through
8:04 am
which so much of our trade goes. the department for transport says it's investing more than £30 million to improve lorry parking facilities in england, but for now, the warning is that the coming months are set to be challenging. it will still be very, very busy throughout the whole summer. we've got another busy weekend next weekend, huge numbers of tourists crossing. we're back to pre—pandemic levels of tourists that are crossing the channel. in fact, in some places it's been even busier than it was three orfour years ago. so we are prepared for that, we have traffic management plans in place in kent to really deal with that. and this weekend, the major incident declared by the authorities remains in force. simonjones, bbc news, dover. we can speak to simon in dover now. is the situation easing at all? it is very busy, it eased overnight but
8:05 am
traffic starting to build up once again. yesterday the airport handled more than 33,000 passengers, giving you an idea of people's desperation to get away on summer holidays. has not proved to be easy. over there you can see some of the traffic hoping to get away today. we are told 6500 cars are due to pass through the port today. a similar number down the road at the eurotunnel terminal in folkestone. real problems around the terminal this morning, people telling us they have had to spend the night sleeping in their cars because part of the m20 has been shut completely so it can be used to stack hundreds of lorries unable to get across the channel. that means other traffic having down to dover, to eurotunnel in folkestone or simply trying to get around kent is being diverted onto side roads, clogging up completely. this morning on
8:06 am

8:07 am
they say is people are struggling to get to the terminal and they do not have control over the local roads getting completely clogged up. some people saying eurotunnel note giving enough information about how bad the situation is, how long people are having to wait to get into the terminal. the company said they are advising people on social media and on its website there are difficulties. interesting thing on all this, the blame game. the mp for dover says the french authorities should apologise to people in dover and holiday—makers who have had their plans disrupted, their holiday descend into chaos at the start. french authorities say part of this is down to brexit, the extra time it is down to brexit, the extra time it is taking to stamp passports, check vehicles but also part of the issue is they do not think the infrastructure in kent is appropriate, not enough space in the port for when things go wrong and

also around eurotunnel the roads cannot cope when there is a huge influx in traffic.— influx in traffic. simon jones in dover, thank _ influx in traffic. simon jones in dover, thank you. _ we're joined now by the director of policy at the british ports association mark simmonds. simon talked about the blame game between the french and english, whether it should be local authority to widen infrastructure, the ports themselves responsible, why does this continue to happen? we themselves responsible, why does this continue to happen?— this continue to happen? we have heard why. _ this continue to happen? we have heard why. the — this continue to happen? we have heard why, the port _ this continue to happen? we have heard why, the port of— this continue to happen? we have heard why, the port of dover- this continue to happen? we have heard why, the port of dover has| heard why, the port of dover has worked closely with french authorities over the past few months to prepare for what was always going to prepare for what was always going to be an exceptionally busy time. unfortunately, they were let down earlier this week and when there were not enough staff to man the booths that were there. that is the main problem. of course, this is always going to be a busy time with people coming back after the pandemic and we are pleased to hear
8:09 am
that things are going a little better today, the queues are down this morning, the booths are fully staffed, we are told the court expects them to be fully staffed throughout the summer. the french said the british _ throughout the summer. the french said the british government - throughout the summer. the french | said the british government rejected a few months ago a proposal to double the number of passport both to give to the french police in dover. ,., ., to give to the french police in dover. ., ., , dover. the port of dover are still lookin: dover. the port of dover are still looking at _ dover. the port of dover are still looking at how _ dover. the port of dover are still looking at how they _ dover. the port of dover are still looking at how they can - dover. the port of dover are still looking at how they can expand i looking at how they can expand capacity for booths there and are still discussing that with the uk government. i understand there were specific reasons why the uk government rejected that, part of a separate scheme, infrastructure scheme around building border control posts rather than facilities for passenger and tourist traffic. the port of dover is still looking at how they can expand facilities further, have already put in 50%
8:10 am
more booths. ultimately they rely on french border police to be starving those booths.— french border police to be starving those booths. what do you make of the take that _ those booths. what do you make of the take that brexit _ those booths. what do you make of the take that brexit has _ those booths. what do you make of the take that brexit has been - those booths. what do you make of the take that brexit has been a - those booths. what do you make of the take that brexit has been a big | the take that brexit has been a big part of this, the fact the extra checks have to take place, it is not like brexit came out of nowhere, why will not be porous better prepared? yes, brexit certainly is contributing to it but there is obviously now a harder broader than before. the ports were prepared, we have been saying this for years that extra checks would have an impact on capacity at certain ports and could cause congestion and disruption at certain times. the port of dover has worked very hard to make sure that is mitigated but at the end of the day it takes a little longer now to do checks at those ports and that can add up when you have thousands of passengers. d0 can add up when you have thousands of passengers— of passengers. do you think there should be a _ of passengers. do you think there should be a separation _ of passengers. do you think there should be a separation that - of passengers. do you think there l should be a separation that hauliers can be taken off to a giant car park

8:12 am
is causing disruption, we are not expecting any major problems for returning traffic. yes, as you said, there is a need to find a long—term solution to this, we cannotjust keep mitigating the same issue. what keep mitigating the same issue. what is the one thing _ keep mitigating the same issue. what is the one thing that _ keep mitigating the same issue. what is the one thing that could be done? i think the biggest challenge for kent is to find solutions to incoming new checks so entry — exit system the eu is introducing could be a real challenge for passengers at dover who may require them to get out of their car to biometric and checks, to register in ports, could add significant amounts of time for outbound passengers. that is a real concern and the important thing to get sorted. we need to get that
8:13 am
right, the system has been designed for airports rather than seaports. for people going through border controls on the cards it is not designed and it is important to get that fixed. whose responsibilities that? an eu system. it is up to everyone to work together. the port of dover has been working very ghostly and have been saying they have had constructive discussions with the french and have been working pragmatically. that is why it is such a shame the system broke down this weekend. it is the responsibility of ports and the government to work with the french and the eu to make sure the system works for everyone.— works for everyone. maybe that is where the problem _ works for everyone. maybe that is where the problem lives, - works for everyone. maybe that is where the problem lives, mark. where the problem lives, mark simmons, thank you. the two conservative candidates left in the race to become prime minister will set out their plans to control immigration this morning. rishi sunak has promised to cap
8:14 am
the number of refugees who will be allowed into the uk — and liz truss wants a 20% increase in front line border staff. let's talk to our political correspondent, tony bonsignore. tony, the candidates appear to have similar views on this policy? last week they were talking about tax, quite a big gap between them, but when it comes to immigration they same to be of a pretty similar view? , ~ , ., view? yes, i think they are both headina view? yes, i think they are both heading in _ view? yes, i think they are both heading in the _ view? yes, i think they are both heading in the same _ view? yes, i think they are both heading in the same direction, i view? yes, i think they are both - heading in the same direction, both pledging to clamp down on illegal immigration, both pledging to power forward with the rwanda policy. there are important differences between the two. i will give you some flavours of what the candidates are talking about, liz truss wants to extend the rwanda scheme to other countries, to increase the number of border force officials by 20% and
8:15 am
strengthen the bill of rights, she says, to give a sound and legal basis for tackling illegal immigration. rishi sunak today in the sunday telegraph has put out a ten point plan, gone further, wants to narrow the definition of what counts, qualifies as an asylum seeker than is currently the case under the european convention on human rights. he wants enhanced powers to detain and to tag. possibly the most interesting is an annual cap on the number of refugees to be decided by parliament. you can see why rishi sunak is doing this, create clear blue water with liz truss and say that was her responsibility as foreign secretary. but i am not sure of the conservative party members are of the public will necessarily see that much of a difference given that they are both so closely associated with
8:16 am
this government and have been in cabinet over the past few years. thank you, tony bonsignore. the united states has accused russia of worsening a global food crisis by carrying out a missile strike on the ukrainian port of odesa. the attack came just hours after a landmark deal to resume grain shipments from ukraine. we can speak now to our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, who joins us from odesa. james, what's the situation there this morning? i think it is a reflection of the severity of the actual strikes themselves yesterday that things are fairly calm this morning. there is no obvious damage, there was some damage caused yesterday but from where we are now no obvious damage. a5 where we are now no obvious damage. as far as the ukrainians are concerned, preparations will continue to free up the 20 million tonnes of grain which has long been stuck here at this key port still under ukrainian control. i think it
8:17 am
is not so much about the missile strikes yesterday but it is the undermining of the trust in that this deal. this is a deal that was seen as a beacon of hope by the west certainly, and certainly from the united nations were not only would freeing up the grain of ukraine, one of the world's biggest producers, help the tens of millions of people from poorer countries around the world who are at risk of starvation, it is thought, unless they perceive deliveries of ukrainian grain. things are calm but even as preparations are pushing on, this will be fragile, dangerous, these ships will go along a route littered with mines. should the russians on the deal and their integrity has been questioned, although russia
8:18 am
hasn't commented, they will have to push through a naval blockade. it is delicate and the stakes are high. fast learning is important globally, the ripples are felt all around the world, where is the deal left now? it is still on. but there are a huge number of question marks because in this war, time and again when there has been a temporary ceasefire, they have often been broken within hours if not minutes where fighting has broken out, to play moscow has been accused. many will remember we saw them with the so—called humanitarian corridors. they would agree a route, ukraine and russia, civilians might be able to make their way out from being trapped in the fighting, only occasionally they work. this is a more significant deal, russia's
8:19 am
military chief sat at the meeting, signed the agreement. and yet the missile attacks took place yesterday. should it be russia which carried them out, the most likely scenario, it is not clear why they have done it other than to simply flex as they have done in other occasions. to say nothing is out of reach from its long range weapons. james waterhouse in odesa, thank you. the bbc podcast you me and the big c, with the late dame deborahjames, has been honoured at the british podcast awards. dame deborah started the audio show with the late rachael bland and lauren mahon back in 2018 to discuss the realities of living with cancer. lauren was there to collect the podcast champion award. these podcast awards are our happy place. it was where we won one of our first big awards, without rachel,
8:20 am
and it was a bit surreal to say the least, and for me to be standing without both of my girls when it is not right, is it? i don't think there are many other podcasts you can say that would be standing up here whose co—hosts are not with them because they have died of the subject matter, but that is why we do what we do. we knew it was a risk when we started it, and it was something we would continue to champion. very difficult, she did so well. and a testament to the work of the team behind the podcast. it is 8:20am. here's ben with a look at the weather. we have had it all in the last week including those incredibly high temperatures and the new temperature
8:21 am
record. forsome, in the temperatures and the new temperature record. for some, in the south east and kent... we could get 30. further north and west showers, some could be heavy, across northern ireland really soggy last night, 30 millimetres in county tyrone in one hour. pushing north—eastward across scotland, developing across lincolnshire, the midlands, wales, some in the south west england. sitting in place through the day, drifting further northwards towards merseyside, greater manchester, south yorkshire. northern ireland and scotland seeing sunny spells. heavy and thundery showers likely into the afternoon. breezy for most of us today but when false light in the north—west of scotland later, any showers will be slow moving. where we have the sunshine in south
8:22 am
east england and east anglia, temperatures could get up to 30 or 31. some heat across south—eastern parts. further north and west through the evening, further showers, may be thunderstorms, rain in scotland overnight, gale—force winds likely to develop in shetland later. miss stand murky —— mist and murkiness. brisk wind on the western flank, strong wind in northern scotland, continuing to see the chance for gales. outbreaks of rain drifting southwards across, and getting down to northern england. the band could provide thunder and lightning. generally quite a lot of cloud, some spells of sunshine. generally a breezy day, went in the north, with wind coming down from the north or north—west, change in

the north or north—west, change in the feel of the weather, slightly cooler, 25 in norwich butjust 15 in aberdeen, below parfor cooler, 25 in norwich butjust 15 in aberdeen, below par for this time of year. deeper into the week, area of low pressure swinging eastwards, high pressure builds in from the south—west, promising plenty of dry weather, on the face of it is dry news if you have outdoor plans. of course, it has been dry lately across the south and south east of the uk, we could do with some rain. very little of that in the forecast. those of dry weather through the week ahead, not completely dry, temperatures could start to climb again towards the end of the week. that is all for now. cooling down. thank goodness. the uk's health security chief says programmes are in place to prevent and treat monkeypox, after the outbreak was declared a global health emergency by the world health organisation. the classification is the highest alert that the who can issue, and follows a worldwide
8:24 am
rise in cases. aisling mcveigh reports. 16,000 cases of monkeypox worldwide prompted the world health organization to declare the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. the strongest call to action the agency can make. and while the development could be seen as concerning, health officials in the uk have stressed the situation is not something people should unduly worry about. for the uk, the risk to individuals currently is no different today than it was yesterday, following the who announcement, but of course that doesn't mean that we're not being very proactive in our interventions to try and prevent any unnecessary transmissions of the virus and we have got a number of different programmes in place. monkeypox is a viral disease from africa. the symptoms are a rash that develops into scabs. it requires close contact to spread, mainly skin to
8:25 am
skin, and can also be spread through coughs and sneezes. currently, there are 2,208 confirmed cases in the uk. while anyone can get monkeypox, the majority of cases continue to be in gay and bisexual men. this week the nhs announced it was stepping up his vaccination programme. the world health organization hopes labelling the outbreak a public health emergency will speed up the development of vaccines and limit the spread of the virus. aisling mcveigh, bbc news. professor mike tildesley. morning, mike, how significant is this announcement? we have seen you on the programme so many times talking about covid—19. how worried should we be? this many times talking about covid-19. how worried should we be?- how worried should we be? this is not another _ how worried should we be? this is not another covid-19, _ how worried should we be? this is not another covid-19, this -
8:26 am
not another covid—19, this declaration of a public hill fog emergency of international concern really reflects where we are. as you have been saying in the vt, round about 16,000 cases worldwide and far more than previous years. very different from covid, spreads through close contact between individuals, often seems to be in at this particular epidemic through sexual contact. covid spreads much more ease away. there is a concern because it is far higher than in previous years but we would not expect this to be another pandemic situation as we have had in the last few years with covid — 19. the few years with covid - 19. the rlobal few years with covid - 19. the global situation, _ few years with covid — 19. the global situation, how badly is it affecting the uk at the moment? igale affecting the uk at the moment? we have affecting the uk at the moment? , have just over about 2000 cases, very close, 65% of those, in london. as has been discussed in your vt just before i came on, mainly circulating in men and gay and
8:27 am
bisexual men in particular. we have to be careful not to stigmatise but it is a feature it has got into that community, spreading within that community, spreading within that community but we are all susceptible through close contact. it is something we need to be mindful of, need to work hard to ensure the right people get the vaccines to prevent the spread and, hopefully over the next few weeks we can see this starting to turn around. igale this starting to turn around. we have seen _ this starting to turn around. we have seen some of the images while you have been speaking of what the rash looks like. just explain the kind of symptoms people should be looking out for.— looking out for. what tends to ha - en looking out for. what tends to happen is _ looking out for. what tends to happen is that, _ looking out for. what tends to happen is that, in _ looking out for. what tends to happen is that, in the - looking out for. what tends to happen is that, in the early i looking out for. what tends to l happen is that, in the early days after exposure, it takes a few days before symptoms start to rise. then it can be headaches, shivering tend to be the first symptoms. and then it can lead into the development of

8:29 am
very mild childhood disease. more dangerous as an adult, chickenpox. monkeypox, the global mortality rate has been around about 1—3%. in this particular epidemic we have seen, five reported deaths with monkeypox, nonein five reported deaths with monkeypox, none in this country, all of those in africa out of the 16,000 cases. at the moment, it is not a high risk but something we need to be wary of, particularly if we see younger children reporting infection. fish children reporting infection. an explain why it is cold monkeypox. slightly bizarre, this was first detected in a lab in copenhagen back in the 19505, the first case was detected within a monkey. it is a rather strange situation it is
8:30 am
referred to as this because within africa it can be carried by rodents, for example, then potentially a spill—overfrom animals for example, then potentially a spill—over from animals into for example, then potentially a spill—overfrom animals into humans. but that is where it initially comes from. i but that is where it initially comes from. . , but that is where it initially comes from. ., , ,., , but that is where it initially comes from. , from. i may right in saying people over 50 also _ from. i may right in saying people over 50 also vaccinated _ from. i may right in saying people over 50 also vaccinated for - from. i may right in saying people i over 50 also vaccinated for smallpox are completely ok? i over 50 also vaccinated for smallpox are completely 0k?— are completely ok? i would not say comletel are completely ok? i would not say completely 0k _ are completely ok? i would not say completely ok but _ are completely ok? i would not say completely ok but there _ are completely ok? i would not say completely ok but there is - are completely ok? i would not say completely ok but there is the i completely ok but there is the suggestion that the smallpox vaccine does indeed have quite a significant effect, the smallpox vaccine is being made available for particularly high risk individuals exposed to monkeypox. so there is a suggestion smallpox vaccine in the over 505 should provide some protection, yes. over 50s should provide some protection, yes.— over 50s should provide some protection, yes. professor mike tildesle . protection, yes. professor mike tildesley. gavin _ protection, yes. professor mike tildesley. gavin is _ protection, yes. professor mike tildesley. gavin is here - protection, yes. professor mike tildesley. gavin is here shortly| tildesley. gavin is here shortly with the sport.

8:32 am
they got bronze and they were delighted. but not such a good day for others. so it's the final day at the world athletics championships in oregon — five medals for gb now, after that men's relay bronze. but for dina asher smith — and the women's relay team — there was disappointment. and a concern for the commonwealth's coming up. andy swiss was watching. a day of relay drama for britain but ultimately delight, a medalfor the men in a truly frantic final. the us were the favourites, but a wobbly last baton change let canada were let through and behind them could rhys prescott fend ofjamaica and hang onto bronze? canada have it, united states, great britain third. canada celebrated and so did the british team. zharnel hughes, reece prescod, nathaneel mitchell—blake and jona efoloko. what a dramatic race that was. against the very toughest opposition, the british men's quartet brought home a medal. we stepped up when we had to and credit to everyone for raising their game. it is a stepping stone, we will get better. got to raise our game going forward. appreciate the fact we got a medal.
8:33 am
the women's hopes ended in heartache, right in it as dina asher—smith ran the third leg but then agony. dina's pulled up, dina's injured. that effectively ended their chances as they finished sixth. afterwards, dina asher—smith said she didn't know what happened. ijust feel a bit confused i because i felt fine coming in, went round the bend and my legs stopped corresponding with me. i the race was won by the us who edeged out the favourites but for britain, this time, it was just not to be. andy swiss, bbc news. england's men cricketers face south africa in the third and deciding one day international at headingley later this morning. yesterday the women won their second t20 match against south africa in worcester, with katherine brunt becoming england women's all—time leading t20 wicket taker. south africa made 1a8. and england reached that target with six wickets and six balls to spare. the final t20 match is tomorrow.
8:34 am
england have already won the multi—format series. this afternoon's french grand prix will be a landmark one for lewis hamilton. it's the 300th formula one race of his career. unfortunately for the seven—time world champion though, he'll be starting from fourth on the grid. ferrari's charles leclerc claimed pole position. he was three tenths of a second quicker than championship leader max verstappen. verstappen's red bull teammate sergio perez will line up third alongside hamilton. it's been a very difficult weekend until now for me, struggling with the balance of the car, with this heat. whenever you have a small snap, then you pay the price for the rest of the lap because the tyres overheat. so yeah, overall, great teamwork and hopefully we can keep this position. we were lacking a bit in qualifying, just a general grip, so it was a bit more tricky than i think i would have hoped. but overall, i think we still have a decent race car and hopefully of course tomorrow, will come to our favour. i mean, we are quick on the straights, hopefully we can use that.
8:35 am
canada's brook henderson has a two—shot lead going into the final round of golf�*s evian championship — the penultimate women's major of the year taking place in france. england's charley hull is tied sixth. she's six shots off the lead after a brilliant 67 yesterday. no doubt about the highlight — just take a look at this. her second shot at the 11th — you've guessed it — straight in for an eagle. denmark'sjonas vingegaard will ride onto the champs elysee for today's final stage of the tour de france knowing he'll be the winner. he protected his massive advantage at the top in the penultimate time trial stage and will ride into paris with the yellow jersey this afternoon. joe lynskey reports. after three weeks on the road, he was out in front on his own. alljonas vingegaard had to do was stay on his bike. he had the yellowjersey, and tadej pogacar in second was more than three minutes behind. that would barely change in a time trial, so in the last outpost
8:36 am
before paris, they all looked for a stage win. these rides are geraint thomas' speciality. he was secure in third for the tour, but this time, on the day, he was a few seconds off the top. vingegaard also hopes to end with a win. he was pushing. commentator: very close to losing the line there! with that scare, he backed off and let wout van aert take the stage, and it meant just as much to him. but out in front, overall, vingegaard has never stopped. through all those weeks of solitude, this was the release. denmark's second grand tour winner will ride into paris and know it was worth it. joe lynsky, bbc news. so vingegaard is poised to become just the second danish cyclist to win the tour. as we just saw though he had a wobble on yesterday's stage. here's how he reacted afterwards. i think i also almost had a heart attack when that happened. i had the feeling i was not
8:37 am
really taking big risks. and, yeah, i think ijust made a mistake going into the corner. in the end i saved it luckily. i always believed i had a chance of winning the tour de france, but now to actually do it is, yeah, it's really incredible. memorable day for him. it is also a memorable day for the women's tour, that starts today from the eiffel tower. the first time in 33 years it has taken place. eight stages, it is a sort of push if you like to revitalise women's cycling and the tour are keen to push that. i think that will be a great push. l tour are keen to push that. i think that will be a great push. i like tour are keen to push that. i think that will be a great push.- that will be a great push. i like it when it is in _ that will be a great push. i like it when it is in the _ that will be a great push. i like it when it is in the bag _ that will be a great push. i like it when it is in the bag on - that will be a great push. i like it when it is in the bag on the iastl when it is in the bag on the last day. it when it is in the bag on the last da . , , . . , when it is in the bag on the last da . , ,. . , . when it is in the bag on the last da. . day. it is scenic, it is iconic. i was in paris— day. it is scenic, it is iconic. i was in paris once _ day. it is scenic, it is iconic. i was in paris once and - day. it is scenic, it is iconic. i was in paris once and saw- day. it is scenic, it is iconic. i was in paris once and saw it, | day. it is scenic, it is iconic. ii was in paris once and saw it, you wouldn't — was in paris once and saw it, you wouldn't know they were just tootling — wouldn't know they were just tootling around going like that.

relaxed — tootling around going like that. relaxed. . ~ tootling around going like that. relaxed. ., ,, , ., all eyes will turn to birmingham this week when the commonwealth games get underway on thursday. this year's games will feature the largest para—sport programme ever and among northern ireland's leading hopes is swimmer bethany firth — who has won gold at the last three paralympics. bethany, who has learning disabilities, has been telling our ireland correspondent chris page about her hopes for more medal success. a paralympic gold medallist six times, a world champion seven times, and a world record breakerfour times. bethany firth is one of the most accomplished sportspeople northern ireland has ever produced. in birmingham, she's focusing on the 51a 200 metre freestyle. the women's event is being included for the first time. part of the biggest para sport programme ever held at the commonwealth games. i think we all go through challenges in life and it's good to overcome them and i think watching para
8:39 am
sport, it sort of shows that there are real challenges that people have, but they can overcome them and they can achieve things. so you have won a multitude of medals at paralympic world european level, and now you'll be hoping to add a commonwealth medal to that collection? definitely. that's the one from the collection that i haven't got. but i think sometimes you can look at medals and obviously that's the one i want, but i'm just trying to go out there and enjoy it and swim really well. and what happens on the day happens on the day. the coach helping her to prepare has guided bethany through her whole spectacular career. here at ards swimming club in county down. the great thing about bethany is she works really hard. you never get a you never get a training session where she doesn't try. she always gives 100%. and that's one of her great strengths. that dedication helped bethany become team gb's most successful athlete at the rio paralympics in 2016. her accolades are all the more
8:40 am
remarkable when you hear how she started out. so i actually learned to swim when i was 12 to 13. so i was quite late to the sport, and that's why i had to work really closely with my coaches and stuff. and, you know, we have like had to adapt things and change things to learn new skills and it is sometimes a wee bit harder, but i love it. like, its been a rollercoaster. there hasn't been a season that i've not been clumsy and like broken something, but like we've always come back. it's really like changed my life. as a young girl, i was so like scared to, like, talk in front of people or show people that i had a disability. whereas through sport it allowed me to be myself and allowed me to show people that, oh yes, maybe i might struggle at some things in life, but i thrive in other things, and itjust gave me that whole confidence. the power of sport to improve people's lives is a gift bethany firth wants to pass on. at the commonwealth games, she's sure to inspire and impress. chris page, bbc news, newtownards.

8:48 am
pours this afternoon. some sunny spells in between. showers here through the late afternoon. they will become slow—moving. to the south—east, where we see sunshine, we will have the high temperatures peaking at 31 degrees in east anglia. tonight there will be further showers, particularly in scotland, some heavy, thundery bursts, turning into quite a wet night in the north. and gales developing in shetland. the odd shower elsewhere and some mist and murk and low cloud. a warm and humid night with lows of 1a to 18. low pressure with us as we start the week, some brisk winds around the low, particularly to the west. also in northern scotland. you can see the isobars squeezing together. a swathe of strong winds, gales still possible. some showers drifting south across scotland and into
8:49 am
northern england. some could be heavy and thundery. a few showers elsewhere. generally a lot of cloud, some sunshine. but with the brisk winds and bear in mind those are the average speeds, the gusts will be stronger, the winds from the north—west, so sit is going to feel —— so it is going to feel cooler, particularly in northern scotland. 25 the high in eastern england. deeper into the week, the low pressure swings away and high pressure swings away and high pressure starts to build from the south—west and as ever when you see high pressure on the chart, that mean there is will be a lot of try and settled —— dry and settled weather. things for most of us look dry through midweek. we could do with some rain in the south where it has been dry. not a lot of that in prospect. after a slightly cooler start to the week, temperatures will then climb a little later on. that is all from me for today. enjoy your

sunday. thank you. coming up to 10 to 9. if you're a fan of superhero movies, you're in for a treat because a whole series of upcoming films have just been announced, including two new avengers instalments. they were unveiled to the excited crowds at comic con in san diego overnight, and our entertainment reporter lizo mzimba was there. # in this future, you can't forget your past... this was the highlight for so many at comic con, being able to see the first footage from black panther. the originalfilm was more than just a blockbuster, it was a worldwide cultural moment. as well as celebrating this sequel, the movie's stars were also remembering chadwick boseman, the star of the original film. i definitely felt... the whole thing in honour
8:51 am
of chadwick and my role was to notjust support on screen, but to just be there and be by people's side, because you know... he was the centre of the movie. it's one of several new marvel films in the pipeline. next may will see the release of guardians of the galaxy iii, the emotional end of a trilogy for its cast. i think what makes this so stand out for me is a project that i'm part of is really a turning point in my life and career to be cast as peter quill. now marvel may have been the biggest driving force in cinema for the last few years, but the biggest driving force in television has arguably been game of thrones. thousands of fans were at an event for its new prequel, house of the dragon. its cast including former doctor who star matt smith, who told the crowd that he is

enjoying taking on darker roles. it's quite good to have sort of breadth as an actor and try and challenge yourself and find different avenues to play and once i had played the doctor, i was looking to do something that felt completely different. for 51 weeks a year, fans have been imagining questioning their favourite stars, thinking about how best to enjoy much—loved shows and films. and of course... ..dreaming of being a superhero. here, they have been able to do all three. great. big news that. excited? yes. he was at the _ great. big news that. excited? yes. he was at the end. _ now if you've ever struggled to move furniture a few inches around your home —
