of the freest nations in the world. the chinese government has summoned the us ambassador in beijing, to warn that it would not sit idly by. mark lobel has this report. side by side with taiwan's president, america's third most powerful politician. an act of provocation or a necessary show of support. nancy pelosi's delayed high—profile visit was never without risk. china's anger has led to the us ambassador there being summoned, as pelosi is handed an award for her strong ties to taiwan. today our delegation, of which i'm very proud, came to taiwan to make unequivocally clear we will not abandon our commitment to taiwan, and we are proud of our enduring friendship. president tsai thanking speaker pelosi for her unwavering support. translation: facing deliberately heightened military threats, - taiwan will not back down.

we will firmly uphold our nation's sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defence for democracy. china insists the self—ruled democratic island is in fact part of its territory. an increasing number of young taiwanese are learning basic gun skills. others fear china may do as russia has done in ukraine. this skills. others fear china may do as russia has done in ukraine.- russia has done in ukraine. this is m home russia has done in ukraine. this is my home country. _ russia has done in ukraine. this is my home country, i _ russia has done in ukraine. this is my home country, i want - russia has done in ukraine. this is my home country, i want to - russia has done in ukraine. this is my home country, i want to live i my home country, i want to live here, that saw. —— that is all. analysts say the risk of an imminent military conflict is low but point to significant military traffic around the taiwan strait, creating a risk of accident or miscalculation. explosion but despite china's less—than—subtle messaging in this military video, released ahead of the us speaker's

visit, the biden administration wants to avoid this triggering a crisis. we said that we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. we said we do not support taiwan independence. and we said, as i said again yesterday, that we expect cross—strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means. for these two key trading partners, then, not a trading of blows, but an immediate pause on goods. as a result of speaker pelosi's visit, bans on citrus fruits and some fish exports from taiwan, while exports of sand blocked the other way. low—level disapproval, awkward diplomacy and a threat of much worse. taiwan's status remains uncomfortable. mark lobel, bbc news. we'rejoined now from beijing by our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell. morning to you. talk to me about how significant that opposition is to the visit among leaders in china right now stop beijing's main

response to this visit by nancy pelosi has been to have a series of military exercises.— military exercises. people might look at that _ military exercises. people might look at that and _ military exercises. people might look at that and think, _ military exercises. people might look at that and think, say - military exercises. people might| look at that and think, say what? that is not such a big deal. these are massive, live fire military war games which encircle taiwan effectively. if the maps being provided by the pla are anything to go provided by the pla are anything to 9° by. provided by the pla are anything to go by, in part by those areas where they are having war games actually enter taiwan's territorial waters. you can imagine disruption to commercial sea lanes, flights in and out of taiwan. imagine flying towards taiwan over the next couple of days knowing you are coming near these areas where the pla is testing these areas where the pla is testing these long—range weapons. the problem with this is once these escalation start, how do you pull it

back? is the chinese military going to do this every year now? practice encircling taiwan. our people on the island constantly going to have to put up with this? every year becoming more and more intense. this has been a problem with the fallout of this visit and what it needs to. some hardliners in the communist party probably welcomed that the visit by nancy pelosi because it has given them a great excuse to really mmp given them a great excuse to really ramp up military activity in the region. ramp up military activity in the reuion. . , ~ ramp up military activity in the reuion. . , . ., region. thanks very much. you will kee us region. thanks very much. you will keep us posted _ region. thanks very much. you will keep us posted throughout - region. thanks very much. you will keep us posted throughout the - keep us posted throughout the morning. the mother of a 12—year—old boy who has been on life support since early april says she'll appeal to the european court of human rights to try to postpone the withdrawal of his treatment. archie battersbee's care is due to end today, following a decision by the supreme court. danjohnson has this report. today, another set ofjudges

will decide if archie battersby�*s life support should be extended. his mum has till nine o'clock this morning to lodge a case with the european court of human rights, after the uk's highest court yesterday ruled against the family's wishes. his mum vowed to fight on. very disappointed in our system, very let down, very disappointed. very disappointed on my son's behalf of our system over here. legally, i think we are exploring one more option this evening but that really is sort of the end. archie was found unconscious at home in southend on april the 7th. he was taken to hospital and underwent a series of tests. a high courtjudge ruled six weeks ago that an mri scan showed archie was brainstem dead, and so would not regain consciousness or function. after careful thought, we refuse permission to appeal. the court of appeal ruled a new hearing in front of a judge last month, which concluded that

archie was likely to die in the coming weeks and continuing life support was not in his best interests. the court of appeal agreed. yesterday, the supreme court endorsed that decision. archie's life—support systems were due to be turned off at 11 o'clock this morning. the european court of human rights is now the family's last option to prolong his life support, or to have him moved to a hospice. the relationship between the family and the hospital has broken down so much that the family wouldn't get to have the goodbye that they would want, so we are really adamant on the fact it does take place in a hospice. barts nhs trust, which runs the royal london hospital where archie is being treated, said it would continue to work with the family to prepare for the withdrawal of treatment. european judges are now the family's last hope of delaying further, otherwise archie's life—support could start being removed from 11 o'clock. dan johnson, bbc news. conservative members are facing delays in receiving

their postal ballots for the party's leadership election, due to security fears. it comes after the government's national cyber security centre gave the party advice about how to make online voting as secure as possible. we're joined now by our political correspondentjonathan blake. jonathan, what impact will this have on the voting process? some of the recommendations were quite striking. amazingly do not have some of this stuff already. what impact will have on the dating process? it what impact will have on the dating rocess? , what impact will have on the dating rocess? ._ , ., , what impact will have on the dating rocess? , ., , ., , process? it will delay people able to vote but _ process? it will delay people able to vote but not _ process? it will delay people able to vote but not the _ process? it will delay people able to vote but not the deadline. - process? it will delay people able to vote but not the deadline. wel to vote but not the deadline. we expect the result a few days after the 2nd of september. conservative party members had been told their ballot papers had been delayed. they expected to have started receiving then at the beginning of this week because the party has decided to add additional security to the ballot process. originally people would

have unable to vote online or by post but crucially would have been able to amend their votes, even if they voted originally by post and doing so online, that now will not be possible. if they vote online and will only be able to do that once. if they vote online they will not be able to supersede that with a postal vote. the party says it has done this in consultation with the intelligence agency, gchq. it comes as a new poll suggests this stress —— as liz truss has strengthened her need over rishi sunak. rebekah vardy says she feels "let down by the legal system" after losing her libel battle against coleen rooney in the high profile case dubbed wagatha christie. in her first public remarks since the verdict, she told the sun newspaper she's faced abuse since the story first emerged almost three years ago. louisa pilbeam has more.

ijust thought, "i don't want to go through this. i don't want to, like, you know, live like this." and that split second, i was just... ijust said tojamie, i was like, "i just want to jump off this." you know, we were in the shopping mall at the time, buying baby clothes, funnily enough, and ijust feel like ijust want to jump off this top floor. rebekah vardy speaking about the impact the so—called wagatha christie trial has had on her. it's the first time she's spoken since she lost the high court libel battle last week. i'd had a missed call on my phone, not long after the post had gone up from a withheld number. i don't know why it would have been withheld, but she then messaged me and she said, "i've been trying to call you. coleen, who's married to former england footballer wayne rooney, had posted on her instagram page, accusing rebekah of leaking stories about her family to the sun newspaper — claims that she has always denied. surely this is not real. this can't be real. no—one would do that. no—one would do something, you know, so sinister knowing

that they were weaponising a fanbase against someone. and rebekah vardy, who's married to leicester strikerjamie vardy, says she's been abused since that moment. as you walk past someone in the street, "you're disgusting. how could you do that?" you know, "you're a rat, you're a troll." and, you know, i thought that eventually it would die down, it would go away, but it didn't. itjust got worse and worse. but, despite facing a multi—million pound legal bill, rebekah vardy says if she was to meet coleen rooney in the street, she would still take herfor a coffee. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. voters in the us state of kansas have rejected a proposed amendment to the federal constitution, which could have further restricted, or outrightly banned, abortions. the vote was the first state—wide referendum on abortion rights

since the supreme court overturned roe v wade two months ago. more than a dozen republican—led states have moved to ban or further restrict abortion since that ruling. now to some remarkable pictures from chile, where authorities are investigating a mysterious sinkhole which has appeared in a mining area in the north of the country. these drone shots show the size and scale of the sinkhole — which is believed to be around 80 feet wide and nearly 600 feet deep. all nearby mining work has been halted while the site is being investigated. wow! i tell you what, you need a drowning man. 600 feet down. that just makes it look really sinister. let's talk about the weather.

a glorious view behind you. where is that? ., ., ~ ., ~ a glorious view behind you. where is that? ~ .,~ , , . that? looks like the lake district or scotland- _ that? looks like the lake district or scotland. it _ that? looks like the lake district or scotland. it has _ that? looks like the lake district or scotland. it has come - that? looks like the lake district or scotland. it has come from i that? looks like the lake district| or scotland. it has come from our stock library photograph so i cannot really tell you with any certainty. many of us starting off with a humid day but it will turn less humid through the course of the day. not as windy as yesterday. we have the weather front producing patchy rain across wales and into the south east. in the far south—east it won't be much more than a band of cloud. behind it more sunshine than yesterday. the peppering of cloud across northern ireland and scotland. the other feature of the weather, for many in the south we are looking at a south—westerly wind. in the north it goes round to a north—westerly. that is reflected

in the temperatures. not as high as yesterday. further south, still in the humid conditions with highs to 29 degrees. this evening and overnight there is the weak weather front moving away. a lot of dry weather and showery rain pushing across northern ireland, scotland and england. some of this will be heavy. a fresher night more comfortable. in van last night. tomorrow we say goodbye to the rain. a few showers left in scotland and northern ireland. for many of us it will be dry. a temperature range of 13 to 25. feeling less sticky than it has done. this week marks 50 years since nearly 30,000 ugandan asians began to arrive in the uk, after being forced to flee their homes — and livelihoods — by uganda's military ruler. idi amin gave them just 90 days to pack up and leave, after accusing them of disloyality.

uganda was a former british colony, many had uk passports and exercised their right to come here. our midlands correspondent navteonhal has been speaking to some of them. archive: the asians arrived in cold, wet weather at stansted. _ for asians arriving in the uk from uganda in 1972, at times, the reception from locals felt as unwelcoming as the weather. translation: they have been milking the economy of the country. _ the former military ruler, president idi amin, said uganda's asians, brought to the country by the british, were depriving black africans of opportunities and gave asians, who held british passports, 90 days to leave the country or face being put in concentration camps. one of them was manssor moghul, a businessman and a prominent member of uganda's asian community, who had met amin on several occasions.

i had to flee the country in the darkness of the night with my wife and children because my life was threatened. i came to know that i was on his hitlist and i would have been bumped off had i stayed much longer in the country. manzoor and his family arrived in leicester, where a friend had offered to house them, and where there was already a growing asian community. but not everyone was so friendly. the national front organised a march in the city in response to the ugandan asians arrival. translation: leicester- was unwelcoming, it was racist, it was unwelcoming. we've had loads of objects that people have lent us for the exhibition. in the city today, there is an exhibition marking 50 years since the arrival of the ugandan asians, and the woman who's organised it was one of them. nisha popat was just nine years old when her family had to leave. what were your first impressions of leicester when you arrived? initially, i kind of thought it's

strange, but part of me felt it was like an adventure, and i think i didn't totally grasp that this would be home. nisha remembers the kindness of neighbours. but, as she got older, she became more aware of the racism around her. she recalls one incident at a funfair she attended with her brother, where there were other asian families. and then, all of a sudden, there was a group of young men, skinheads, who just literally ran across the park. they pulled out the stakes from the ground, and they were starting to hit the people. and it was families with young children. it was just horrible. and my brotherjust grabbed my hand and we ran, and ran like mad. the discrimination was perhaps no surprise. leicester city council had published an advert in a ugandan national newspaper, discouraging asians from coming to the city, claiming its resources were too strained. the advert was an appalling thing to do. i think perhaps it was counterproductive

because probably it alerted people to the fact that there was this place called leicester, and there was already an established community here that they might want to join. every aspect of the city's life has enormously benefited from everything that they and indeed the generations that have followed them have contributed. if you want to get a sense of the impact that ugandan asians have had on leicester, then you need to come here to belgrave road. this is one of the main routes into the city. but, before they arrived, it was earmarked for demolition. and, over the last 50 years, they've helped to rejuvenate it by setting up businesses, shops, restaurants. and it's now known as the golden mile. i think it's transformed the city. i think it's been a catalyst for so much. leicester was rejuvenated with the ugandan asian contribution, and that has remained permanent and has grown since then. conquerer of the british empire . in africa and uganda in particular. alongside the exhibition, leicester's biggest theatre is staging three plays

about the ugandan asians. a new public artwork has also been commissioned to recognise their contribution. in a city, where initially many faced hostility, it has become home. navteonhal, bbc news, leicester. let's take a look at today's papers. anger over the latest results of oil giant bp features in many of the papers this morning — including the daily mirror. "brazen profiteers" is the headline, as the paper says households are struggling with "crippling energy bills." the guardian points out that there's "outrage" that oil firms are raking in profits while energy bills soar. the paper says that nearly £50 billion in profit has been shared by the world's five biggest oil companies, prompting calls for higher taxes on the sector. the daily mail leads on what it calls china's

"chilling threat" over us speaker nancy pelosi's trip to taiwan. beijing has vowed to use "targeted military action" in response to the diplomatic visit to the island. the paper says ms pelosi is the most prominent politician to visit taipei in 25 years. there's also a photo of princess charlotte at the commonwealth games in birmingham. everyone is loving the commonwealth games, aren't they? and "so much for the legacy" is the headline on the 'i,' which says the government has refused to give girls equal access to football in pe lessons, despite the lionesses' victory in the women's european championships. the paper reports that ministers say girls will be offered the chance to play a comparable sport instead.

that has caused so much anger. let's have a look at some of the stories inside the papers. you are packing for a trip, aren't you? a survey has been done. this is in the guardian, things we might be packing to take with us on holiday. it is a bit of a throwback to the 1980s. cd players and music are still up there. there is a male— female split. women are more likely to take a physical book, a paperback with them than men. the thing you are most likely to forget when on holiday? mine with definitely bb adapter. no point having adventures when you are looking at the plug. and we just show you this picture? it is amazing but also disgusting.

—— can reject show you? those are the fingernails. this woman is actually... she is standing on a flight of stairs. they are actually longer than her. there she is. crazy. she has been growing them full 25 years. we will be discussing how she does anything with fingernails that of 42 feet long. she says her kids and grandkids help her to polish them. it takes up to five hours, apparently. really confused and worried about that. you don't even want to know what we were talking about, the things he would not be able to do. we will leave it at that. it is quite early this morning. she's best known for hunting down bent coppers, as the no—nonsense detective inspector kate fleming in the bbc police drama, line of duty. and now actor vicky mcclure has had a taste of what life

is like in a real ac—i2 team, after she was invited to open nottinghamshire police's newjoint headquarters. chris waring was there. we've just met the equivalent kate, steve and hastings. so they're doing theirjob brilliantly. and, yeah, we were talking about the comparisons there. they don't really compare, obviously. there's a lot going on in their private lives, but i'm sure they've not got so much drama going on. nottingham—born line of duty star vicky mcclure formally opened the new police and fire hq at sherwood lodge. she also visited the professional standards department, known as aci2 on the show. did you feel like you were sinking back into character? i might have done that at one point, and just found my hands fall into the front of my... so, yeah, it's... no, listen, i've always been interested in the police, as in, you know, crime and drama and all that kind of stuff. it's something i've always been interested in, but, you know, i'm interested in my city and the safety of my city

more than anything. vicky and her fiance, johnny owen, were given a tour of the site and were introduced to members of staff. having access to something like this is a real privilege, and what i'm seeing and hearing with stats and what people are telling me about what they're doing in their departments is really encouraging for nottingham. i don't know much about it. i might be in line of duty but this is all completely new to me, so i just feel very lucky to know what's going on and know that there's really incredible work being done. the programme, yes, it's a drama, but it's done wonders for us in terms of recruitment. people do want to work for us. they're perhaps a bit disappointed when they realise there's more paperwork and fewer guns than there is in line of duty, but yeah, it's really helped our recruitment. so thanks vicky and line of duty.

i'm very proud of my mug being kate's equivalent, so that comes with me everywhere and it was brilliant meeting her today. they also had front—row seats for a passing out parade. it's a real honour to be asked. you know, like i say, you don't really get access to these kind of things, so i do feel very lucky. it's great. the building's great, but the people in it are working really hard and i think it'sjust been a real honour to meet people knowing that they're trying to keep people safe. ijust want to say thank you to everybody for all you do in the line of duty. chris waring, bbc news. she is amazing, isn't she? when fact and fiction marriage in that way, it is great. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. after the driestjuly in decades, there are calls for a hospipe ban across the capital. thames water has said that

without more rainfall, water saving measures will be needed. the utility company says reservoirs have fallen below average for this time of year. from friday, elsewhere in the south of england people will be banned from using hosepipes or washing their cars. and because of grass fires during the heatwave, camden council have banned disposable bbqs after the fire brigade called for them to be outlawed. the council said that with no end in sight to the dry weather it was taking the action to protect its parks. the ban is temporary and will be reviewed each week. a female taxi driver from deptford is on a mission to get more women cabbies on london's roads. lisa seymour teaches women the knowledge for free from her home, something all london taxi drivers have to learn before getting their license. she does so to get more women involved in the predominantly male—dominated industry.

i feel like women don't expect women to be cab drivers or it's frowned upon a little bit, because it's a man'sjob. so they say. i don't believe that. there's not enough women. we definitely need more women, but overall, yeah, the safety factor, ifeel safe and, yes, there are challenges but i can't let those challenges stop me. well, if you're not in a taxi and you're on public transport this is how it's looking. all looking 0k except for the district and piccadilly lines which are part suspended. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another quite warm and uncomfortable night last night with temperatures staying in the high teens celsius. there's a fair amount of cloud around first thing this morning, thick enough in part to produce the odd spot of rain but that's it, the cloud dissolves through the afternoon to sunshine and temperatures again warm with a maximum of 28 celsius. a warm evening, lots of sunshine

and then once the sun sets it is dry and largely clear. perhaps a little bit cooler than last night, minimum temperature away from central london dropping to 13 celsius. around 15, 16 within central london itself. through thursday, high pressure builds in from the west and that starts to settle things down. so plenty of sunshine around on thursday itself. again, middle part of the day could see a bit of cloud. temperatures to the north—west a little bit fresher tomorrow, 23, 2a celsius there, as the air mass starts to change. still hanging on to the humidity in the south—east with temperatures up at 27 celsius. temperatures stay in the mid 20s through this week, plenty of fine and dry weather right the way through the week and through the weekend and as you can see, there's still no significant rain in the forecast. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back

to ben and victoria. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and victoria fritz. coming up on the show this morning. they've conquered the euros and captured the attention of millions of people in england and beyond. now we hear from three lionesses about their remarkable road to victory. the world's second highest summit has a new record breaker, 21—year—old brit, adriana brownlee. we'll have her story just before eight. and mock the week comes to an end after 17 years and more than 200 episodes. comedian and contributor miltonjonesjoins us to look back on the show.

bounced back after he said he reached the lowest of the lows this week he rediscovered his spark this week. relief and redemption. adam peaty, a champion once again. it's not often that the three—time olympic gold medallist comes into a race on the back of a defeat. but after missing out on a medal on the 100 metres backstroke, and admitting he had lost a bit of his spark, he came back with a bang. peaty wins the gold, he's finally completed the full set! not bad considering he's still recovering from a broken foot. i reached the bottom of the bottom yesterday, and to bring myself up with the crowd, bring myself up in my own mind, that was the only one i hadn't won in my career. the commonwealth 50 metres. so i can retire now! england's first gold of the evening came thanks to brodie williams. the 23—year—old just getting the touch in the 200 metres backstroke final. throughout the last five days, the gymnastics centre has been the hottest ticket in town, and jake jarman has without a doubt been the king of the arena.

he already has three goals in the bag and with more difficulty than any other competitor, he landed this vault to add a fourth. that will go into the lead without doubt. it made him england's most successful male gymnast at a single games, so a big celebration planned? i think i'm going to have some mango sorbet, absolute favourite, i love it so much. england's joe fraser packs a punch as well. he sealed his third gold in the parallel bars final before alice kinsella was crowned champion of the floor. that took england's gymnastics medal haul to 16 for the games. and day five finally meant the start of the athletics, with the first medal in the alexander stadium going to wales's olivia breen. she beat her great rival, england's sophie hahn, the world champion, took gold in the t37—38 100 metres. but the home crowd still had plenty to celebrate, emanuel oyinbo—coker running sub 11 seconds for the very first time

to win gold in the t 45—a7100. and hannah cockroft led an english 1—2—3 over the same distance in the t33—31t. finally, 3x3 basketball is a new event for these games but it ended with one of sport's oldest rivalries. an ashes clash between england and australia. how's that for an overtime winnerfor england? austin halewood, bbc news. i was at that yesterday, the three by three basketball and the wheelchair event as well, absolutely brilliant to see those, a great crowd for the new sport. let's have a look at how this affects the medal table. england have added another ten golds but they're still second behind australia. scotland now have a third gold medal, thanks to kevin wallace and garry brown winning the pairs title at the para—lawn bowls.

wales are eighth and northern ireland 17th. wales beat england yesterday in the pairs bowls as well. let's have a quick look at a couple of stories away from the games. rangers are in real danger of going out of the champions league before even reaching the group stage. they slipped to a 2—0 defeat against union saint gilloise in belgium in the third round of qualifying. the second leg is at ibrox on tuesday. and england'sjonny bairstow has decided to take a rest from cricket. he was scheduled to play for welsh fire in the hundred competition, starting on wednesday, but he says he's had a hectic few months and needs a breather, before the test series against south africa. back here at the commonwealth games, this is the rear end of the town hall which is where a lot of the broadcasts come from, that is the square through there, the crowd will be gathering later today to watch the action and listen to music. so much action today for the crowds to

i've been raised in a way that some values are non—negotiable. one is respect, one is commitment. and the other is passion. you get quite angry, don't you? he's very intense. when i lose, i'm upset! what you're going to see is what it was, who we are, who i am, and hopefully will reflect what the club is about and it will come in a strong way. when you lose the ball, you run! so who is mikel arteta? you will see it, i don't have to describe him because now you have the chance to see it live on camera. sorry if sometimes i get mad at you, but i want you to be the best. were you most worried that they might catch you having an extra chocolate biscuit with your cup of tea? no, it's more probably about presenting yourself in a way, in a very specific moment that you can bejudged in the wrong way.

because you don't know the context, you can have someone in an office totally relies on this, can be after the match or it can be a month after that match, you know? so it's all about the context. we're going to do something else. we are going to be in this room together, we are going to do it one way. can we do a bit of this? do you want to do a bit of this? let's do this, close your eyes. so just explain, what is this, what are we doing here? it's just about getting everybody with the same energy, get aligned and feel that chemistry and what we can generate in the room just by feeling that we are together in this, and that we are going to get together and play as a team. did it have the desired effect? did it bring the good energy? guys, this is like always, you win the game, it works, you don't win the game, it wouldn't work, it's like everything. so the players responded to it, it works. yeah, the players responded to it. everybody close your eyes.

and then i had to hear that they were making jokes about it. but in the moment they didn't expect it. what is more important, guys? the journey or the destination? can you still do the everyday things like going to kids sports days and being there? me, personally, idon�*t stop because of myjob. if i have to go to the supermarket, to the store, if i have to go and pick my kids, leave my kids and go to work and play football, i do it. we are in the media and we are recognised, so what? i have a life, i am a father, i am a husband, and i want to have a life as well. one thing people might not realise, you had heart surgery when you were young? yeah, i was born with a big heart issue. and they had to open my heart, and go through it and it was one of the first surgeries that was done in that way in spain. so we didn't know how it was going to end up. i was a really lively kid.

doctor was telling my father and mother, he needs to calm down, he's not going to be able to do much exercise with that problem. and slowly i managed to go through every possible stage, i was safe, i was feeling good and i managed to be a professional footballer. so, had you not been a footballer and manager, could tennis have been an option for you? that was my other sport. when i was 1a, 15 years old, i had to decide whether i was a pro tennis player or football player. i made the right decision. so you could have been rafa nadal? not that good, for sure! they have to feel that you trust them, you have confidence in them and whatever happens, you're going to defend them. no cameras this season, means you can have that extra chocolate biscuit. yeah! sometimes it's strange, and as well i was always mic�*ed up for training so sometimes you are talking to them and you go like this, you still get that habit. you're still used to it? it's been a long time, a year, it's a lot.

and it's like anything, it becomes a part of your behaviour, it becomes a habit and, i should not say that, but you get used to it. so if they turn to you and say, the cameras are coming back, what would you say? no, thank you! john watson talking to mikel arteta there. all or nothing: arsenal launches on prime video on thursday. there's concern that thousands of people may miss out on the government's energy bill rebate this autumn. ben's here with the details. yes, the price cap we were talking about yesterday. with energy bills expected to hit more than £3,500 a year this autumn, it's important everybody gets the support available. part of that is a £400 energy bill rebate for households.

if you're in england, scotland and wales, it'll be applied directly to the bill in instalments from october. how the payment will be made in northern ireland is still under review. but there's concern that thousands of people who rent may miss out. an estimated 585,000 households pay energy bills as part of their rent which means the discount will go directly to the landlord. we spoke to garry, he lives in a park home, with bills included as part of his tenancy deal. he's worried he won't see the rebate. park home owners like us personally, we get our energy supply from the owner of the park. we are not actually connected to an energy supply at all. so although we still pay, we have our individual meters to pay, we still have the bill every quarter, the same as everybody else. so itjust seems another version of, you were forgotten. the organisation which represents

landlords says that if they're acting as an energy reseller, they should pass on the savings to the tenant in line with ofgem's requirements. but charities are concerned that there's no clear guidance on how landlords should do this or any law to make sure they do. i think in all cases, tenants should ask their landlords for a breakdown of the charges they have been asked to pay, and for details of how the landlord has credited or applied the energy grant to reduce those charges. we are urging government to bring forward clearer guidance on landlords as to how they manage the grant, if they control their tenants' contracts. guidance isn't mandatory but at least tenants can refer to that if there is any problem and if for any reason they have to account for the fact that they haven't paid a certain part of the charges that the landlord has asked them to pay. we put this to the government. it said it expects landlords to pass on the discount and said

there is more information for both landlords and tenants on the website gov.uk. the other thing that is worth mentioning, there are a lot of people who are on prepayment metres, or they pay by credit, free credit, and if that's the case for people, it will either be automatically credited to their metre, this £400 support or they will get a voucher they can cash in at a post office or payment centre so people will get that but it will not all come as one go as one lump sum, it will be spread out in instalments, 60, 66, 60 £7 beginning in october. fine 60 £7 beginning in october. one thing people _ 60 £7 beginning in october. one thing people should be careful of scams. whenever there is money in the offing or rebates or anything like that, we see a big rise in phising e—mails and text messages telling you to type in your password, it will be paid automatic

we go through the next few days. some of us are off to a beautiful start, look at this weather watcher picture from lincolnshire. these are the latest temperatures, 12 degrees in lerwick, but already 19 in birmingham and cardiff and london. today we have a weak when the front thinking south, head of it we had on two humid air. behind that it veers to a north—westerly so that is going to a north—westerly so that is going to bring in some fresher air which eventually will cross us all. the weather front in the south bringing some murky conditions in parts of wales, the midlands, into the southeast with some spots of rain but that will die away into the south—east. behind that sunshine, more so than yesterday but showers peppe" more so than yesterday but showers pepper in northern ireland, scotland and northern england at times. temperature is 21 in aberdeen to 27

in london and 29 in norwich. for the commonwealth games today, as we have seen, it is a sunny start and we will hang on to more sunshine today than we did yesterday. lighter winds as well, highs up to about 24 or 25. through the evening and overnight, the weather front pushes away taking cloud with it, clear skies for some of england and wales but heavier showers moving across northern ireland eventually getting into scotland and northern england as they head eastwards. a fresher night tonight, much more comfortable for sleeping in them last night. we pick up sleeping in them last night. we pick up the weather front which clears eastern scotland but we can see the cloud associated with it across parts of northern england and wales sinking towards the midland, a few spots of rain in that but tomorrow there will be more sunshine than today. there were the cloud in the afternoon —— fair weather cloud in the afternoon and a few showers in scotland but not all of us will catch the showers. 13 to 25 celsius

so slipping down, we are all going to be in the north—westerly air mass so it will feel fresher. a lot of dry weather around on friday. a little system bringing some cloud and the odd spot of rain in midlands and the odd spot of rain in midlands and north wales, not much, it will not get into the south—east where we need it. one or two showers into the far north of scotland, as temperatures are 13 to 25 degrees. into the weekend, high pressure starts to establish itself across southern areas. look at the north of the country especially scotland, weather fronts bringing some the country especially scotland, weatherfronts bringing some rain and here it will be windy at times. some of the rain could get as far south as northern ireland and northern england but most of it will be across the north and west of scotland. temperature is 18 to 20 degrees, further south and we are into sunnier skies, and temperatures up into sunnier skies, and temperatures up to 25. yesterday i was telling you about howjuly has been the

driest month on record since records began in southern england. france has also seen some pretty dry weather stopped it has also had the driestjuly on record, pictures supplied by nasa. it is the second driest calendar month on record, and as well as that, there has any being 15% of the rainfall we would expect during july. will it remain hot? we have read across the near continent, and in our country for a bit, but here is the key, the colder air average is blue or white, into the weekend, things return to average or just below in terms of temperature. thank you, that was fascinating, and that an asset picture is a current picture? it that an asset picture is a current icture? , ., , , picture? it is from yesterday, showin: picture? it is from yesterday, showing how _ picture? it is from yesterday, showing how dry _ picture? it is from yesterday, showing how dry it _ picture? it is from yesterday, showing how dry it is? - picture? it is from yesterday, showing how dry it is? yes. l picture? it is from yesterday, i showing how dry it is? yes. you can see in southern england as well

good morning. you know these sharks, you have dived with them before, just explain to us, how would you characterise them and just how common are any kind of problems between these sharks and people? good morning to you both, and thank you for having me on this morning. yes, blue sharks, the species that was involved in this particular incident, is a species that typically is found ten miles or more offshore, they live in the open ocean, they are what we call the pelagic species of shark and they are highly migratory, they visit uk waters during the summer months following the gulf stream and they get their name from the beautiful coloration on the topside which camouflages them against the deep. being an author with these animals is an incredible experience, they are highly majestic, —— being in the water with these animals is an incredible experience, they are beautiful and majestic and despite

this incident they are good role models for challenging the stereotypes that sharks have endured for decades. we stereotypes that sharks have endured for decades. ~ . , ., ., ~' stereotypes that sharks have endured for decades. ~ . , ., ., ~ ., for decades. we are 'ust looking at some pictures _ for decades. we are 'ust looking at some pictures that i for decades. we are just looking at some pictures that you _ for decades. we are just looking at some pictures that you provided i for decades. we are just looking atj some pictures that you provided us with, of your footage of diving with them. you arejust with, of your footage of diving with them. you are just talking about them. you are just talking about them being migratory, are they turning up more in british waters and why might that be? billie turning up more in british waters and why might that be? blue sharks are a seasonal _ and why might that be? blue sharks are a seasonal visitor— and why might that be? blue sharks are a seasonal visitor to _ and why might that be? blue sharks are a seasonal visitor to the - and why might that be? blue sharks are a seasonal visitor to the uk i are a seasonal visitor to the uk shores, and there are shifting distributions around the world of sharks in response to rings like climate change for example. we know, scientists estimate that as the oceans warm, there will be a moving of species across the ocean towards the poles, and we set up towards the northern latitude of the planet, so we are seeing more apex predators in our waters, we are seeing more apex predators in ourwaters, but we are seeing more apex predators in our waters, but not to a degree that anyone should really worry about. i think it's important to stress that

just because there is a change in distribution does not mean that there is a change in abundance, necessarily, and a lot of these species are highly under threat from human activity such as commercial fishing. human activity such as commercial fishinu. . , , ., fishing. that is interesting, i want to ick u- fishing. that is interesting, i want to pick up on _ fishing. that is interesting, i want to pick up on this _ fishing. that is interesting, i want to pick up on this because - fishing. that is interesting, i want to pick up on this because the i fishing. that is interesting, i want| to pick up on this because the lady involved in this attack, she did walk off the boat, it has to be said. he said in a statement that she really doesn't want this to tarnish the reputation of the species because she said they are already persecuted. it's interesting that she would go out of her way to say that and say that they followed all of the right procedures, and this is very much a freak accident. absolutely. i think that's really important to stress, not only how rare this is but even when adhering to all necessarily codes of conduct and protocols, you are entering a wild environment with an apex predator and as i have said before, shark diving is highly popular

around the world. it's a really great tool in our tool box in shifting perceptions about these animals, and it really supports local communities as well where it takes place in locations like the bahamas and south africa for example. so shark diving is quite a new frontier still in the uk, despite the species that we get offshore, we have approximately 40 species that live in our waters, a mixture of residential, migratory and deep sea species. but as you say, sharks are highly persecuted animals, they still live in the legacy of jaws a little bit, but they are highly diverse as well. there are more than 500 different species and they are so much more than that stereotype that we associate with them. we than that stereotype that we associate with them. we will have a bunch of people _ associate with them. we will have a bunch of people who _ associate with them. we will have a bunch of people who may _ associate with them. we will have a bunch of people who may already i associate with them. we will have a | bunch of people who may already be watching us from their holidays down in the south—west, may be watching from cornwall and the their summer

holiday, what would you say in terms of how safe they feel in the water and if they want to go out and do some snorkelling, sea some of these animals, these apex predators, what are the tips to keep yourself as safe as possible and make sure that nothing like this is going to be a concern? , ., ., ., �* concern? first and foremost, i don't think this should _ concern? first and foremost, i don't think this should let _ concern? first and foremost, i don't think this should let anyone - concern? first and foremost, i don't think this should let anyone stop i think this should let anyone stop himself from getting in the water this summer, please go out and enjoy the beaches responsibly, enjoy the sea in all of its salty goodness. but if you want to get up close with these animals, i do encourage people to give it a try, go out with one of the few professional operations that we have here in the uk. we are lucky to have a handful of them. i'm sure that the dive masters now will give you a briefing on the code of conduct which will include things like maintaining a safe distance, not touching unnecessarily, not chasing the animal, and if you ever feel unsafe in the water please just let your dive master and they will

remove you from the water. there are people watching all of the time and this is an incredibly rare event to take place. this is an incredibly rare event to take place-— this is an incredibly rare event to take place. hannah, thank you so much, take place. hannah, thank you so much. from _ take place. hannah, thank you so much, from bury _ take place. hannah, thank you so much, from bury st _ take place. hannah, thank you so much, from bury st edmunds, i take place. hannah, thank you so i much, from bury st edmunds, joining us today, marine biologist. thank you forjoining us.— us today, marine biologist. thank you forjoining us. you for 'oining us. good reassurance if ou you forjoining us. good reassurance if ou are you forjoining us. good reassurance if you are going _ you forjoining us. good reassurance if you are going for— you forjoining us. good reassurance if you are going for a _ you forjoining us. good reassurance if you are going for a bit _ you forjoining us. good reassurance if you are going for a bit of- you forjoining us. good reassurance if you are going for a bit of a - if you are going for a bit of a break. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. morning, i'm tarah and this is bbc london. after the driestjuly in decades, there are calls for a hospipe ban accross the capital. thames water has said that without more rainfall, water saving measures will be needed. it says reservoirs have fallen below average levels for this time of year. from friday, elsewhere in the south of england people will be banned

from using hosepipes or washing their cars. and because of grass fires during the heatwave, camden council have banned disposable barbecues after the fire brigade called for them to be outlawed. the council said that with no end in sight to the dry weather, it was taking the action to protect its parks. the ban is temporary will be reviewed each week. a taxi driverfrom deptford is on a mission to get more women cabbies on london's roads. lisa seymour teaches women the knowledge for free from her home. it's something all london taxi drivers have to learn before getting their license. she does so to get more women involved in the predominantly male—dominated industry. i feel like people don't expect women to be cab drivers, or it's frowned upon a little bit, because it's a man'sjob. so they say.

i don't believe that. there's not enough women. we definitely need more women, but overall, yeah, the safety factor, ifeel safe and, yes, there are challenges but i can't let those challenges stop me. let's see how public transport is looking this morning. mostly looking 0k, except for the district and picadilly lines, which are part suspended and minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another quite warm and uncomfortable night last night with temperatures staying in the high teens celsius. there's a fair amount of cloud around first thing this morning, thick enough in part to produce the odd spot of rain but that's it, the cloud dissolves through the afternoon to sunshine and temperatures again warm with a maximum of 28 celsius. a warm evening, lots of sunshine and then once the sun sets it is dry and largely clear. perhaps a little bit cooler than last night, minimum temperature away from central london dropping to 13 celsius.

around 15, 16 within central london itself. through thursday, high pressure builds in from the west and that starts to settle things down. so plenty of sunshine around on thursday itself. again, middle part of the day could see a bit of cloud. temperatures to the north—west a little bit fresher tomorrow, 23, 24 celsius there, as the air mass starts to change. still hanging on to the humidity in the south—east with temperatures up at 27 celsius. temperatures stay in the mid 20s through this week, plenty of fine and dry weather right the way through the week and through the weekend and as you can see, there's still no significant rain in the forecast. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and victoria fritz. our headlines today... the mother of 12—year—old archie battersbee says she'll appeal to the european court of human rightsjust hours before his life support is due be withdrawn. top us politician nancy pelosi meets the taiwanese president provoking an angry response from china. after their roaring success at the euros, we'll be speaking to england lioness and star goalkeeper mary earps.

good morning from the commonwealth games, where adam peaty has his spark back. after he reached the lowest of the lows earlier this week, he roared back to form with gold in the 50 metres breaststroke. todayis today is not going to be as windy as yesterday. full some that it will be less humid with more sunshine. still showers in the forecast. i will tell you where later on in the programme. it's wednesday, the 3rd of august. our main story. the mother of a 12—year—old boy who has been on life support since early april says she'll appeal to the european court of human rights to try to postpone the withdrawal of his treatment. archie battersbee's care is due to end today, following a decision by the supreme court. danjohnson has this report. today, another set ofjudges will decide if archie battersbee's life support should be extended. his mum has till nine o'clock this

morning to lodge a case with the european court of human rights, after the uk's highest court yesterday ruled against the family's wishes. his mum vowed to fight on. very disappointed in our system, very let down, very disappointed. very disappointed on my son's behalf of our system over here. legally, i think we are exploring one more option this evening how dare they discriminate against someone who potentially could have disabilities? nobody knows what will happen with archie. why is this country so black and white? you have a brain injury, that is it, sorry, it is the end of the line for you. other countries offer so much hope in so many different treatments. legally, i think we are exploring one more option this evening but that really is sort of the end. archie was found unconscious at home in southend on april the 7th.

he was taken to hospital and underwent a series of tests. a high courtjudge ruled six weeks ago that an mri scan showed archie was brainstem dead, and so would not regain consciousness or function. after careful thought, we refuse permission to appeal. the court of appeal ruled a new hearing in front of a judge last month, which concluded that archie was likely to die in the coming weeks and continuing life support was not in his best interests. the court of appeal agreed. yesterday, the supreme court endorsed that decision. archie's life—support systems were due to be turned off at 11 o'clock this morning. the european court of human rights is now the family's last option to prolong his life support, or to have him moved to a hospice. barts nhs trust, which runs the royal london hospital where archie is being treated, said it would continue to work with the family to prepare for the withdrawal of treatment. european judges are now the family's

last hope of delaying further, otherwise archie's life—support could start being removed from 11 o'clock. dan johnson, bbc news. the most senior american politician to visit taiwan in 25 years, nancy pelosi, has met the island's president and addressed its parliament, during a trip that's been condemned by china as a major provocation. ms pelosi, who's the speaker of the us house of representatives, told lawmakers that taiwan was one of the freest nations in the world. the chinese government has summoned the us ambassador in beijing, to warn that it would not sit idly by. mark lobel has this report. side by side with taiwan's president, america's third most powerful politician. an act of provocation or a necessary show of support. nancy pelosi's delayed high—profile visit was never without risk. china's anger has led to the us ambassador there being summoned, as pelosi is handed an award

for her strong ties to taiwan. today our delegation, of which i'm very proud, came to taiwan to make unequivocally clear we will not abandon our commitment to taiwan, and we are proud of our enduring friendship. president tsai thanking speaker pelosi for her unwavering support. translation: facing deliberately heightened military threats, i taiwan will not back down. we will firmly uphold our nation's sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defence for democracy. china insists the self—ruled democratic island is in fact part of its territory. an increasing number of young taiwanese are learning basic gun skills. others fear china may do as russia has done in ukraine.

this is my home country, i want to live here with my family, that is all. analysts say the risk of an imminent military conflict is low but point to significant military traffic around the taiwan strait, creating a risk of accident or miscalculation. explosion but despite china's less—than—subtle messaging in this military video, released ahead of the us speaker's visit, the biden administration wants to avoid this triggering a crisis. we said that we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. we said we do not support taiwan independence. and we said, as i said again yesterday, that we expect cross—strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means. for these two key trading partners, then, not a trading of blows, but an immediate pause on goods. as a result of speaker pelosi's visit, bans on citrus fruits and some fish exports from taiwan, while exports of sand blocked the other way. low—level disapproval,

awkward diplomacy and a threat of much worse. taiwan's status remains uncomfortable. mark lobel, bbc news. we'rejoined now from beijing by our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell. widely condemned. talk to me about what we are seeing in terms of opposition amongst china's leaders. the chinese government promised a military response to nancy pelosi's visit, and that is what we are seeing for the people might view the images of these military exercises and think, that is not such a big deal! these are massive live fire war games which are encircling taiwan. imagine the impact on commercial shipping, flights into and out of taiwan. if the maps are

anything to go by, provided by the pla, they are edging into taiwan's territorial waters. the problem with these escalations is how do you bring them back? are we going to see exercises like this every year where the pla surrounds taiwan? what if it does not work in terms of discouraging more us politicians from visiting taiwan? will the pla had to have more serious war games to put more military hardware into the waters around taiwan? this is clearly an escalation on the part of beijing and a lot of analysts are saying it is worrying in terms of where both sides go in terms of beijing and washington from here on in without exacerbating what is already a pretty tense situation. absolutely. thanks very much. conservative members are facing delays in receiving their postal ballots for the party's

leadership election, due to security fears. it comes after the government's national cyber security centre gave the party advice about how to make online voting as secure as possible. we're joined now by our political correspondentjonathan blake. jonathan, what impact will this have on the voting process? their concerns around the weather people with him unable to vote more than once, in effect amending or superseding their original vote because conservative party members will be able to cast their ballots by post or online. as you say, there has been a dilated and being able to start doing that. in an e—mail to conservative party members, seen by the bbc, that is explained as adding additional security members to the ballot process. members have been told if they vote online, they will not be able to do so again and

change their vote. if they vote by post they will not be able to supersede that with an online vote. the conservative party has taken advice from gchq, the intelligence agency. ballots will start going out. the position of liz truss as front runner in the race confirmed she has 60% of member support. rebekah vardy says she feels "let down by the legal system" after losing her libel battle against colleen rooney in the high profile case dubbed wagatha christie. in her first public remarks since the verdict, she told the sun newspaper about the abuse she's faced since the story emerged almost three years ago. as he walked past someone in the street, you are disgusting, how can you do that? you are about, you are a troll. i thought eventually it

very high and pressures are terrible, particularly in a&e and wards are understaffed. 44% of junior doctors in the last survey said they are exhausted at the thought of another working day. really difficult to join the nhs at this time. really difficult to 'oin the nhs at this time. ., ., . , really difficult to 'oin the nhs at this time. ., ., ., , , this time. traditionally people will 'oin at this this time. traditionally people will join at this time _ this time. traditionally people will join at this time because - this time. traditionally people will join at this time because it - this time. traditionally people will join at this time because it might l join at this time because it might be quieter, they might get more help, someone to guide them through theirfirst few days. help, someone to guide them through their first few days. it is anything but quiet at the moment, as you have touched on. bill but quiet at the moment, as you have touched on-— but quiet at the moment, as you have touched on-_ touched on. all the newly starting medics will _ touched on. all the newly starting medics will have _ touched on. all the newly starting medics will have had _ touched on. all the newly starting medics will have had some i touched on. all the newly starting medics will have had some time l touched on. all the newly starting. medics will have had some time on the wards, they will have shadowed. that does not mean it is easier to step up. we are coming down from the end of the last coronavirus way. we have permanent winter in the nhs three decades of understaffing and underfunding. in three decades of understaffing and underfunding—

position. like everybody, energy prices are going up the met rent is going up, additional classroom student tet, gmc, college fees and so on. the situation is getting particularly dire for those who are junior or less than full—time. that is one of many reasons why the bma is one of many reasons why the bma is committed to balloting if we do not have a commitment for pay restoration. there might well be action in the future but the government has opportunities to change its course. the government has opportunities to change its course.— change its course. the retention issue ou change its course. the retention issue you have _ change its course. the retention issue you have been _ change its course. the retention issue you have been talking i change its course. the retention i issue you have been talking about just gets worse. if you are facing the cost pressures, the private sector becomes way more attractive, despite how much you want to help out in the nhs. fir despite how much you want to help out in the ups.— despite how much you want to help out in the nus.— out in the nhs. or abroad. lots of --eole out in the nhs. or abroad. lots of people going _ out in the nhs. or abroad. lots of people going to _ out in the nhs. or abroad. lots of people going to australia - out in the nhs. or abroad. lots of people going to australia and i out in the nhs. or abroad. lots ofj people going to australia and new zealand where salaries are higher and working conditions are better. people are moving out, both retirement entirely, leaving the

travel and weather where you are. morning, i'm tarah and this is bbc london. after the driestjuly in decades, there are calls for a hospipe ban across the capital. thames water has said that without more rainfall, water saving measures will be needed. it says reservoirs have fallen below average levels for this time of year. from friday, elsewhere in the south of england people will be banned from using hosepipes or washing their cars. the number of pubs has fallen to a record low. staff shortages and cost pressures have led more than half of those still open to reduce trading hours. the city pub group says inflation has pushed food prices up and energy is up by over 100%. same pains that normal people have when they go to the supermarket. there's been very dramatic increases in the price of food and it's something that we simply can't pass

on to customers and we wouldn't want to. a taxi driverfrom deptford is on a mission to get more women cabbie5 on london's road5. lisa seymour teaches women the knowledge for free from her home. it's something all london taxi drivers have to learn before getting their license. she does so to get more women involved in the predominantly male—dominated industry. i feel like people don't expect women to be cab drivers, or it's frowned upon a little bit, because it's a man'sjob. so they say. i don't believe that. there's not enough women. we definitely need more women, but overall, yeah, the safety factor, ifeel safe and, yes, there are challenges but i can't let those challenges stop me. let's see how public transport is looking this morning. most looking 0k except for the piccadilly line which has severe delays, and minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. now the weather with kate kinsella.

good morning. it was another quite warm and uncomfortable night last night with temperatures staying in the high teens celsius. there's a fair amount of cloud around first thing this morning, thick enough in part to produce the odd spot of rain but that's it, the cloud dissolves through the afternoon to sunshine and temperatures again warm with a maximum of 28 celsius. a warm evening, lots of sunshine and then once the sun sets it is dry and largely clear. perhaps a little bit cooler than last night, minimum temperature away from central london dropping to 13 celsius. around 15, 16 within central london itself. through thursday, high pressure builds in from the west and that starts to settle things down. so plenty of sunshine around on thursday itself. again, middle part of the day could see a bit of cloud. temperatures to the north—west a little bit fresher tomorrow, 23, 24 celsius there, as the air mass starts to change. still hanging on to the humidity in the south—east with temperatures up at 27 celsius. temperatures stay in the mid 205 through this week, plenty of fine and dry weather right the way through the week

and through the weekend and as you can see, there's still no significant rain in the forecast. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and victoria fritz. mike is in birmingham for us at the commonwealth games. day six of the commonwealth games, another busy day, what we need to look out for today?— look out for today? good morning. many events _ look out for today? good morning. many events reaching _ look out for today? good morning. many events reaching a _ look out for today? good morning. | many events reaching a conclusion, for example the heptathlon, katarina johnson—thompson and holly beales, and eilish mccolgan in the 10,000 metres, a huge day for athletics but

plenty more going on for people to watch on the big screen or they will gather to sing to music as well. gathering here in victoria square, and a beautiful dry day to come. 30 gold medals to be won today. there were golden moments on day five, the scotland and wales in the bowls, and in the attics, the brilliant run from olivia breen, and in a swimming pool from olivia breen, and in a swimming pool, adam peaty finally found his mojo and completed his set of commonwealth games medals. relief and redemption. adam peaty, a champion once again. it's not often that the three—time olympic gold medallist comes into a race on the back of a defeat. but after missing out on a medal on the 100 metres backstroke, and admitting he had lost a bit of his spark, he came back with a bang. peaty wins the gold, he's finally completed the full set! not bad considering he's still recovering from a broken foot. i reached the bottom of the bottom yesterday, and to bring myself up with the crowd, bring myself up in my own mind, that was the only one i hadn't won

in my career. the commonwealth 50 metres. so i can retire now! england's first gold of the evening came thanks to brodie williams. the 23—year—old just getting the touch in the 200 metres backstroke final. throughout the last five days, the gymnastics centre has been the hottest ticket in town, and jake jarman has without a doubt been the king of the arena. he already has three golds in the bag and with more difficulty than any other competitor, he landed this vault to add a fourth. that will go into the lead without doubt. it made him england's most successful male gymnast at a single games, so a big celebration planned? i think i'm going to have some mango sorbet, absolute favourite, i love it so much. england's joe fraser packs a punch as well. he sealed his third gold in the parallel bars final before alice kinsella was crowned champion of the floor. that took england's gymnastics medal haul to 16 for the games. and day five finally meant

the start of the athletics, with the first medal in the alexander stadium going to wales's olivia breen. she beat her great rival, england's sophie hahn, the world champion, to gold in the t37—38 100 metres. but the home crowd still had plenty to celebrate, emanuel oyinbo—coker running sub 11 seconds for the very first time to win gold in the t 45—47100. and hannah cockroft led an english 1—2—3 over the same distance in the t33—34. finally, 3x3 basketball is a new event for these games but it ended with one of sport's oldest rivalries. an ashes clash between england and australia. how's that for an overtime winnerfor england? austin halewood, bbc news. proving so popular as well, the

three by three basketball and the wheelchair event as well. we loved the stories that come in the face of adversity and this is one of the best so far. less than seven months after getting her right foot amputated and having to learn to walk again, british paralympic swimmer alice tai won gold at the birmingham 2022 commonwealth games on sunday. let's take a look at her impressive race. alice tai up there in lane number one. lovely technique from alice tai, just balancing out that loss of leg now by kicking her hips out slightly. and she's pulling away and looking super strong. and comes back to the commonwealth games to win gold for england in the women's s8 100 metres backstroke. but no doubt about the winner, alice tai, she's back and that's great to see. an utterly brilliant race. timed to perfection, paced to perfection and she is the commonwealth champion.

i'm delighted to say that alice joins us now. complete with your gold medal around your neck, good morning. looking back on that and after the year you have had, i'm wondering how net you are feeling? is it relief, completejoy, can you believe it? talk us through it. all]! believe it? talk us through it. all ofthe believe it? talk us through it. fill of the three that you just said. it's been such a crazy year, i literally had my right foot amputated in january. literally had my right foot amputated injanuary. so i havejust been figuring out how to walk, how to do things, simple things like just cooking my dinner, so there was a point where i really didn't think i would be at the commonwealth games. and winning, especially from lane one, wasjust games. and winning, especially from lane one, was just so amazing and i'm still processing it. but it's weird to be back in processing it. i'm not surprised because as you say, onlyjanuary i'm not surprised because as you say, only january and i'm not surprised because as you say, onlyjanuary and since then we

50 yea rs 50 years ago, idi amin dismissed thousands of asians from the country of uganda after he accused them of disloyalty. many of them came to leicester and settled here. archive: the asians arrived in cold, wet weather at stansted. _ for asians arriving in the uk from uganda in 1972, at times, the reception from locals felt as unwelcoming as the weather. they have been milking the economy of the country. the former military ruler, president idi amin, said uganda's asians, brought to the country by the british, were depriving black africans of opportunities and gave asians, who held british passports, 90 days to leave the country or face being put in concentration camps. one of them was manzoor moghul, a businessman and a prominent member of uganda's asian community, who had met amin on several occasions. i had to flee the country in the darkness of the night

with my wife and children because my life was threatened. i came to know that i was on his hitlist and i would have been bumped off had i stayed much longer in the country. manzoor and his family arrived in leicester, where a friend had offered to house them, and where there was already a growing asian community. but not everyone was so friendly. the national front organised a march in the city in response to the ugandan asians' arrival. leicester was unwelcoming, it was racist, it was unwelcoming. we've had loads of objects that people have lent us for the exhibition. in the city today, there is an exhibition marking 50 years since the arrival of the ugandan asians, and the woman who's organised it was one of them. nisha popat was just nine years old when her family had to leave. nisha remembers the kindness of neighbours. but, as she got older, she became more aware of the racism around her. she recalls one incident

at a funfair she attended with her brother, where there were other asian families. and then, all of a sudden, there was a group of young men, skinheads, who just literally ran across the park. they pulled out the stakes from the ground, and they were starting to hit the people. and it was families with young children. it was just horrible. and my brotherjust grabbed my hand and we ran, and ran like mad. the discrimination was perhaps no surprise. leicester city council had published an advert in a ugandan national newspaper, discouraging asians from coming to the city, claiming its resources were too strained. the advert was an appalling thing to do. i think perhaps it was counterproductive because probably it alerted people to the fact that there was this place called leicester, and there was already an established community here that they might want to join. every aspect of the city's life has enormously benefited from everything that they and indeed the generations that have followed them have contributed.

if you want to get a sense of the impact that ugandan asians have had on leicester, then you need to come here to belgrave road. this is one of the main routes into the city. but, before they arrived, it was earmarked for demolition. and, over the last 50 years, they've helped to rejuvenate it by setting up businesses, shops, restaurants. and it's now known as the golden mile. leicester was rejuvenated with the ugandan asian contribution, and that has remained permanent and has grown since then. conquerer of the british empire . in africa and uganda in particular. alongside the exhibition, leicester's biggest theatre is staging three plays about the ugandan asians. a new public artwork has also been commissioned to recognise their contribution. in a city, where initially many faced hostility, it has become home. navtejjohal, bbc news, leicester. we can speak now to nisha popat, one of the contributers in that

so it never kind of, i never thought we were leaving permanently but i knew something was definitely wrong. and then when the goodbyes started it was quite upsetting. what and then when the goodbyes started it was quite upsetting.— it was quite upsetting. what did you ack, what it was quite upsetting. what did you pack. what do _ it was quite upsetting. what did you pack. what do you _ it was quite upsetting. what did you pack, what do you remember - it was quite upsetting. what did you pack, what do you remember being| pack, what do you remember being able to bring with you? i had pack, what do you remember being able to bring with you?— able to bring with you? i had a goal that somebody _ able to bring with you? i had a goal that somebody had _ able to bring with you? i had a goal that somebody had given _ able to bring with you? i had a goal that somebody had given me, - able to bring with you? i had a goal that somebody had given me, the i able to bring with you? i had a goal. that somebody had given me, the toy shop owner at the bottom, which i had wanted forever, a doll, and my autograph book. itjust felt sad leaving people behind. it’s autograph book. itjust felt sad leaving people behind. it's hard, this is since _ leaving people behind. it's hard, this is since then, _ leaving people behind. it's hard, this is since then, i'm _ leaving people behind. it's hard, this is since then, i'm just - this is since then, i'm just thinking about the things that people have brought with them when they have been fleeing ukraine and they have been fleeing ukraine and the things that they hold dear to them and take with them. you weren't going to go with the parents, when did at dawn on you, when did you realise that was what was going to happen? you were nine years old? initially i didn't realise, because my sisters had been studying in leicester in the uk for nine or ten

months but had come home for the summer. so initially i was quite excited, thinking, yeah, we are going on holiday, kind of thing. but when they said my mum wasn't coming, that was really upsetting because i had done trips and beat east africa with my mum because her parents lived in tanzanian but never without her because i was upset. nobody would know what i would eat, that was my biggest worry. what would know what i would eat, that was my biggest worry.— would know what i would eat, that was my biggest worry. what we are first impressions _ was my biggest worry. what we are first impressions of _ was my biggest worry. what we are first impressions of the _ was my biggest worry. what we are first impressions of the uk? - was my biggest worry. what we are first impressions of the uk? it - was my biggest worry. what we are first impressions of the uk? it felt l first impressions of the uk? it felt 0k first impressions of the uk? it felt ok because _ first impressions of the uk? it felt ok because my — first impressions of the uk? it felt ok because my aunt _ first impressions of the uk? it felt ok because my aunt and - first impressions of the uk? it felt ok because my aunt and uncle - first impressions of the uk? it felt ok because my aunt and uncle lived in london and they came to pick us up, and we wedge house, they lived with an extended family, that felt strange. the first week was really exciting because my sister tried to keep us occupied by taking us around the sites in london, and i discovered knickerbocker glory is an idol that was fabulous. i’m discovered knickerbocker glory is an idol that was fabulous.— idol that was fabulous. i'm liking the food theme _ idol that was fabulous. i'm liking the food theme here! _ idol that was fabulous. i'm liking the food theme here! you -

were really kind and supportive and brought you things round at christmas and stuff. so it was a mixture. over the years leicester has changed quite dramatically. interesting in that report that we just watched, ofjust how intrinsic and how influential that community has been leicester. what has sprung out around that community particularly on the golden mile is so important to the community unless the. it so important to the community unless the. , . , ., , . ., so important to the community unless the. , . , . ., the. it is, leicester has changed so much in the — the. it is, leicester has changed so much in the last _ the. it is, leicester has changed so much in the last 50 _ the. it is, leicester has changed so much in the last 50 years. - the. it is, leicester has changed so much in the last 50 years. and - the. it is, leicester has changed so much in the last 50 years. and the | much in the last 50 years. and the diversity is so critical.— diversity is so critical. briefly if ima , diversity is so critical. briefly if i may. you _ diversity is so critical. briefly if i may. you are _ diversity is so critical. briefly if i may, you are heading - diversity is so critical. briefly if i may, you are heading back. diversity is so critical. briefly if i may, you are heading back to diversity is so critical. briefly if- i may, you are heading back to the country today?— country today? yes, uganda first time in 50 _ country today? yes, uganda first time in 50 years, _ country today? yes, uganda first time in 50 years, i'm _ country today? yes, uganda first time in 50 years, i'm going - country today? yes, uganda first time in 50 years, i'm going to i country today? yes, uganda first| time in 50 years, i'm going to die and i'm really excited but also quite apprehensive as well. —— i'm going today. i remember really nice things about uganda but i don't know what things will come back when i get there.

where it was literallyjust me and my sherpa and this incredible view of all of the mountains stop so we were super lucky to avoid this commune. but when you talk about queues on 8000 metre mountains, you will always find clues. this letter that was taken at the most difficult macro to —— the most difficult part of k2, but it is just part of climbing. but we avoided it which is super lucky. luckily there were not so many mentalities on k2 this year, so many mentalities on k2 this year, so the key wasn't as dangerous as people are making it out to be. it does have a reputation of being extremely dangerous. reading something from a report last year saying the ratio of to k2 is one to

it's wednesday the 3rd of august. our main story. the mother of a 12—year—old boy who has been on life support since early april says she'll appeal to the european court of human rights to try to postpone the withdrawal of his treatment. archie battersbee's care is due to end today, following a decision by the supreme court. danjohnson has this report. today, another set ofjudges will decide if archie battersbee's life support should be extended. his mum has till nine o'clock this morning to lodge a case with the european court of human rights, after the uk's highest court yesterday ruled against the family's wishes. his mum vowed to fight on. very disappointed in our system, very let down, very disappointed. very disappointed on my son's behalf of our system over here. how dare they discriminate really against somebody who could potentially have disabilities? again, nobody knows what is going to happen with archie. there's so many options

in other countries, why is it this country is so black—and—white, you know? you have got a brain injury, that's it, sorry, it's the end of the line for you. other countries offer so much hope and so many different treatments. legally, i think we are exploring one more option this evening but that really is sort of the end. archie was found unconscious at home in southend on april the 7th. he was taken to hospital and underwent a series of tests. a high courtjudge ruled six weeks ago that an mri scan showed archie was brainstem dead, and so would not regain consciousness or function. after careful thought, we refuse permission to appeal. the court of appeal ordered a new hearing in front of a judge last month, which concluded that archie was likely to die in the coming weeks and continuing life support was not in his best interests. the court of appeal agreed. yesterday, the supreme court endorsed that decision.

archie's life—support systems were due to be turned off at 11 o'clock this morning. the european court of human rights is now the family's last option to prolong his life support, or to have him moved to a hospice. barts nhs trust, which runs the royal london hospital where archie is being treated, said it would continue to work with the family to prepare for the withdrawal of treatment. european judges are now the family's last hope of delaying further, otherwise archie's life—support could start being removed from 11 o'clock. dan johnson, bbc news. the most senior american politician to visit taiwan in 25 years, nancy pelosi, has met the island's president and addressed its parliament, during a trip that's been condemned by china as a major provocation. the chinese government has summoned the us ambassador in beijing, and says the army will carry out live fire military operations off the taiwanese coast. ms pelosi, who's the speaker

of the us house of representatives, told lawmakers that taiwan was one of the freest nations in the world. our delegation, of which i am very proud, came to taiwan to make unequivocally clear we will not abandon our commitment to taiwan and we are proud of our enduring friendship. we're joined now from taipei by our correspondent, rupert wingfield hayes. maybe just clarify why this visit is so controversial.— so controversial. well, it is complicated. _ so controversial. well, it is complicated, i— so controversial. well, it is complicated, i think, i so controversial. well, it is complicated, ithink, is- so controversial. well, it isi complicated, ithink, is the so controversial. well, it is - complicated, i think, is the answer. taiwan is effectively to all intents and purposes an independent country with its own democratically elected government in its own military and its own economy, one of the most advanced in the world. it is not recognised as a country by most

other countries in the world and is not a un member. other countries in the world and is nota un member. forthe other countries in the world and is not a un member. for the us, the closest supporter of taiwan going back to the civil war, there is a desire to have close relations with taiwan because it is a fellow democracy looking to america, it wants to be a partner of america. the united states recognises china at the same time, saying this place is part of chinese territory and needs to be we unified with the rest of china. nancy pelosi coming here is basically a huge breach of diplomatic protocol, she is coming to support a government the us does not recognise and china says it is not recognise and china says it is not legitimate. that is why the chinese government has got so angry about it, saying it is in effect a very senior us politician coming here and openly supporting what they consider to be a separatist regime that has taken a chunk of chinese

territory and spit it away from the rest of china. it territory and spit it away from the rest of china.— rest of china. it has prompted an anl rest of china. it has prompted an angry response _ rest of china. it has prompted an angry response from _ rest of china. it has prompted an angry response from the - rest of china. it has prompted an angry response from the chinese i angry response from the chinese government, hasn't it? extremely anl . government, hasn't it? extremely angry- the — government, hasn't it? extremely angry. the chinese _ government, hasn't it? extremely angry. the chinese government i government, hasn't it? extremely i angry. the chinese government and its spokespeople and state media has been warning of grave consequences for about a week now before nancy pelosi landed here, to try to discourage herfrom pelosi landed here, to try to discourage her from carrying pelosi landed here, to try to discourage herfrom carrying out this trip. she has gone ahead nevertheless. she has been made very welcome in taiwan. she will leave later and head onto career. we will see the consequences of this trip playing out in the days to come. china has said it is not content with just china has said it is not content withjust complaining, it china has said it is not content with just complaining, it will carry out concrete actions, including large—scale military exercises starting on thursday. china has declared six areas of sea around taiwan off—limits for air and sea traffic starting on thursday through

sunday. taiwan says that is effectively a declaration of and air embargo or shutting down the area around taiwan and against international law. taiwan is very upset, obviously. i international law. taiwan is very upset, obviously.— international law. taiwan is very upset, obviously. i know you will kee- upset, obviously. i know you will keep following — upset, obviously. i know you will keep following the _ upset, obviously. i know you will keep following the story - upset, obviously. i know you will keep following the story for i upset, obviously. i know you will keep following the story for us. | keep following the story for us. thank you. rebekah vardy says she feels "let down by the legal system" after losing her libel battle against colleen rooney in the high profile case dubbed wagatha christie. in her first public remarks since the verdict, she told the sun newspaper she's faced abuse since the story emerged almost three years ago. and as louisa pilbeam reports, ms vardy says the case has had a significant impact on her mental health. ijust thought, "i don't want to go through this. i don't want to, like, you know, live like this." and that split second, i was just... ijust said tojamie, i was like, "i just want to jump off this." you know, we were in the shopping mall at the time, buying baby

clothes, funnily enough, and ijust feel like ijust want to jump off this top floor. rebekah vardy speaking about the impact the so—called wagatha christie trial has had on her. it's the first time she's spoken since she lost the high court libel battle last week. i'd had a missed call on my phone, not long after the post had gone up from a withheld number. i don't know why it would have been withheld, but she then messaged me and she said, "i've been trying to call you. coleen, who's married to former england footballer wayne rooney, had posted on her instagram page, accusing rebekah of leaking stories about her family to the sun newspaper — claims that she has always denied. surely this is not real. this can't be real. no—one would do that. no—one would do something, you know, so sinister knowing that they were weaponising a fanbase against someone. and rebekah vardy, who's married to leicester strikerjamie vardy, says she's been abused

since that moment. as you walk past someone in the street, "you're disgusting. how could you do that?" you know, "you're a rat, you're a troll." and, you know, i thought that eventually it would die down, it would go away, but it didn't. itjust got worse and worse. but, despite facing a multi—million pound legal bill, rebekah vardy says if she was to meet coleen rooney in the street, she would still take herfor a coffee. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. voters in the us state of kansas have rejected a proposed amendment to the federal constitution, which could have further restricted, or outrightly banned, abortions. the vote was the first state—wide referendum on abortion rights since the supreme court overturned roe v wade two months ago. more than a dozen republican—led

states have moved to ban or further restrict abortion since that ruling. now to some remarkable pictures from chile, where authorities are investigating a mysterious sinkhole which has appeared in a mining area in the north of the country. it is mad, this! these drone shots show the size and scale of the sinkhole, which is believed to be around 80 feet wide and nearly 600 feet deep. i cannot get my head around that. all nearby mining work has been halted while the site is being investigated. so perfectly circular, isn't it? i want the drone to go in and show us what it looks like. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. iam

good morning. i am starting off with a cracking weather watcher picture. the sun are starting to come out in the isle of man. we have a weak band of rain pushing south. murky conditions across the south of england and southern wales. for scotland and the north of england also some showers. a lot of showers will fade during the day but not all of them. the showers continued to think south east. there will be a lot of dry weather, more sunshine than yesterday. still feeling quite mid—in the south. still a south—westerly breeze. not particularly strong. you can see where the weather front will be lying. a lot of sunshine as we push further north. a few dotted around scotland. in between there will be some sunny skies. as the wind is to

a north—westerly, it will feel fresher as we go through the day. overnight more showers pushing into northern ireland, northern england and also scotland, clear skies as we push further south. not as humid as last night. this is a weather front. we lose the rain from eastern scotland and hang onto this band of cloud moving out of northern england were heading south across wales. we might catch the odd spot of rain from that. on either side, dry weather and a lot of sunshine. by tomorrow we will all be feeling fresher with temperatures ranging from 13 in the north to 25 in the north—east. these temperatures are more or less where we should be for the time of year. for some of us temperatures will be a little bit below average. it does feel pretty dry in a lot of the country. the gardens do need it, don't they? 0.

—— thank you. the unforgettable image from the lionesses' euros success is undoubtedly chloe kelly's winning goal celebration on sunday. the england winger whipped off her shirt and swung it around her head — a photo which made all the front pages — and is now being praised for empowering women. that wasn't the only stand out moment of course. before we chat to chloe and fellow lioness alessia russo. let's remind ourselves how they made history. a lovely turn. russo! that was absolutely brilliant. a wow goal. look at the skill! the way she drags it round. opens up, receives it. saved... oh, wow! alessia russo.

morning, i'm tarah and this is bbc london. after the driestjuly in decades, there are calls for a hospipe ban across the capital. thames water has said that without more rainfall, water saving measures will be needed. it says reservoirs have fallen below average levels for this time of year. meanwhile, camden council have banned disposable bbqs after the fire brigade called for them to be outlawed because of grassfires. the council said the ban is temporary and will be reviewed each week. the number of pubs has fallen to a record low. and staff shortages and cost pressures mean some of those that are still open have had to reduce trading hours. the city pub croup says inflation has pushed food prices up and energy costs have increased by over 100%. exactly the same pains that normal people have when they go to the supermarket. there's been very dramatic increases in the price of food and it's something that we simply can't pass

on to customers and we wouldn't want to. a taxi driverfrom deptford is on a mission to get more women cabbies on london's roads. lisa seymour teaches women the knowledge for free from her home. to help get more women licenced and in to the industry. she does so to get more women involved in the predominantly male—dominated industry. i feel like people don't expect women to be cab drivers, or it's frowned upon a little bit, because it's a man'sjob. so they say. i don't believe that. there's not enough women. we definitely need more women, but overall, yeah, the safety factor, ifeel safe and, yes, there are challenges but i can't let those challenges stop me. let's see how public transport is looking this morning. most looking 0k except for the piccadilly line which has severe delays. minor delays on the hammersmith and city and district line too. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning.

it was another quite warm and uncomfortable night last night with temperatures staying in the high teens celsius. there's a fair amount of cloud around first thing this morning, thick enough in part to produce the odd spot of rain but that's it, the cloud dissolves through the afternoon to sunshine and temperatures again warm with a maximum of 28 celsius. a warm evening, lots of sunshine and then once the sun sets it is dry and largely clear. perhaps a little bit cooler than last night, minimum temperature away from central london dropping to 13 celsius. around 15, 16 within central london itself. through thursday, high pressure builds in from the west and that starts to settle things down. so plenty of sunshine around on thursday itself. again, middle part of the day could see a bit of cloud. temperatures to the north—west a little bit fresher tomorrow, 23, 2a celsius there, as the air mass starts to change. still hanging on to the humidity in the south—east with temperatures up at 27 celsius. temperatures stay in the mid 20s through this week, plenty of fine and dry weather right the way through the week and through the weekend and as you can see, there's still no significant rain in the forecast.

but a bit more in the offing today. thank you, mike. vicky pattison first burst on to our screens more than a decade ago on reality tv show geordie shore, which followed the exploits of a group of twenty—something—year—olds in newcastle, often fuelled by alcohol. now in a deeply personal new documentary, she aims to make sense of her relationship with drinking and how her father's alcoholism affected her upbringing. let's take a look. throughout my life, i've had a complicated relationship with alcohol. how often would you say that you drink to be sociable? can we have 11 limoncellos? drunk me is argumentative, belligerent and aggressive. and i've always been troubled by how much drink has had a hold on both me and my dad. i couldn't do anything without a drink. i woke up in the morning, it was the first thing i thought of. i worry about him, - you know, all the time. i don't know how he's still alive.

i wanted to know, am i also an alcoholic, destined to repeat my dad's mistakes? i don't want to have kids like me who feel slightly broken. it can be quite a lonely place, because growing up you think that your parent has chosen alcohol over you. above all, i want to know if i can save my dad from himself. sorry. i really want to have kids. i'm so worried, that that if you don't stop drinking, you won't meet them. vicky joins us now. thank you so much for coming up to see us. it's been quite the last 2a hours, take us through it. this aired last night. it is a big deal, aired last night. it is a big deal, a big emotionaljourney for you, a big emotional journey for you, making a big emotionaljourney for you, making it and then watching it?

yeah, i mean obviously, this is my life, you know? i have sort of lived and breathed this for all of my aduu and breathed this for all of my adult life. but it has dominated my waking hours for the last six months and in particular the last month, the promo has been nonstop. and i sorta yesterday, it had got the better of us. there was a lot of tears yesterday, i don't know if it was nerves about the documentary coming out and people seeing it or just that moment where everything kind of comes to fruition and it's overwhelming. so i'm running on fumes and coffee at the moment. you and me both. — fumes and coffee at the moment. you and me both, don't worry! perhaps i and me both, don't worry! perhaps some tears — and me both, don't worry! perhaps some tears as _ and me both, don't worry! perhaps some tears as well _ and me both, don't worry! perhaps some tears as well because - and me both, don't worry! perhaps some tears as well because this i and me both, don't worry! perhaps some tears as well because this is | some tears as well because this is really— some tears as well because this is really personal, and it's really emotional. and a lot of people will know— emotional. and a lot of people will know you — emotional. and a lot of people will know you from geordie shore, it was a show— know you from geordie shore, it was a show which — know you from geordie shore, it was a show which celebrated all the ups and downs— a show which celebrated all the ups and downs and all the emotion but a lot of— and downs and all the emotion but a lot of it _ and downs and all the emotion but a lot of it was — and downs and all the emotion but a lot of it was fuelled by alcohol, which _ lot of it was fuelled by alcohol, which is — lot of it was fuelled by alcohol, which is why it's an interesting journey — which is why it's an interesting journey. from that people are seeing

out there, those years ago, do you like the person that was out there, do you recognise them?— do you recognise them? there is a cli in the do you recognise them? there is a clip in the dock _ do you recognise them? there is a clip in the dock where _ do you recognise them? there is a clip in the dock where i _ do you recognise them? there is a clip in the dock where i actually i clip in the dock where i actually sit down and watch some bit of geordie shore, and ifound it really painful. and that's notjust the fashion choices, it was my behaviour as well. i've grown up a lot. i think it is a huge transitional period for anyone from your early 20s your early 30s, but i did my growing up in the public eye which forces you to grow up a lot faster. so there is a real element of myself and who i was then or at least who i was becoming that i'm really not proud of. and i'm very pleased i've managed to charter a different course for myself. bud managed to charter a different course for myself.— managed to charter a different course for myself. and it will you start to make _ course for myself. and it will you start to make those _ course for myself. and it will you start to make those connections| start to make those connections between what are talking about and what you were saying and your dad?

you talk to really personally about how you spent weekends in the pub and you thought it was normal and a lot of the behaviour you grew up with was normalised and you started to think, that shouldn't be like that. l to think, that shouldn't be like that. ~ to think, that shouldn't be like that. ,, , ., to think, that shouldn't be like that. ,, i. .., , , to think, that shouldn't be like that. , , that. i think you completely assume as a child, whatever— that. i think you completely assume as a child, whatever your _ that. i think you completely assume as a child, whatever your childhood | as a child, whatever your childhood is is normal, is what everyone else is is normal, is what everyone else is doing. and it's only when i sort of became probably an adult myself and saw my friends having children, witnessed other households, i realised there were different ways of doing things. and i know my experiences, it is mine, but i know i'm not the only one. there's loads of people, one in five children grew up of people, one in five children grew up with an alcoholic parent. so a lot of people can relate to this, i know. and understand the things i went through. certainly hearing all of the overwhelming support and messages i got last night, i realise it's more common than people think.

i know as part of this, you underwent a medical screening yourself. to look at genes and addictive behaviour. what did you find out and was it any comfort to you? it find out and was it any comfort to ou? . , find out and was it any comfort to ou? ., , , ., , ., �* find out and was it any comfort to ou? ., �* ., you? it was so strange, i've always convinced myself _ you? it was so strange, i've always convinced myself deep _ you? it was so strange, i've always convinced myself deep down i you? it was so strange, i've always convinced myself deep down that l you? it was so strange, i've always convinced myself deep down that i | you? it was so strange, i've always i convinced myself deep down that i am my father's daughter, there's a huge element of this disease which is genetic and hereditary, and my future is completely predetermined, i'm only going to end up one way which in my head was an alcoholic. whether it happened sooner or later it didn't matter, it was on the cards. when i went and had all of these tests, it felt strangely validating to realise there were loads of similarities and parallels between my motivation for drinking and my dad's. people would have thought that i wanted to be proved wrong, but all of these were years of worrying, it felt nice to know that i wasn't worrying for nothing.

now i have that information, i have the power to hopefully change my future and have the life that i want to live, you know? we future and have the life that i want to live, you know?— to live, you know? we have got a cli of to live, you know? we have got a clip of your _ to live, you know? we have got a clip of your dad — to live, you know? we have got a clip of your dad talking _ to live, you know? we have got a clip of your dad talking from i to live, you know? we have got a clip of your dad talking from the l clip of your dad talking from the documentary, this is about how he was going for drinks after work with colleagues, and how that slowly developed into an alcohol problem. he has called john, this is him talking. i he has called john, this is him talkina. ., ., ., talking. i would have argued untili was blue that _ talking. i would have argued untili was blue that i _ talking. i would have argued untili was blue that i wasn't _ talking. i would have argued untili was blue that i wasn't an _ talking. i would have argued until i l was blue that i wasn't an alcoholic. but i _ was blue that i wasn't an alcoholic. but i was _ was blue that i wasn't an alcoholic. but i was drinking so much through the week— but i was drinking so much through the week that by the time i put in a full weekend drinking, monday, i was a wreck _ full weekend drinking, monday, i was a wreck i_ full weekend drinking, monday, i was a wreck. i couldn't eat, i couldn't do nothing — a wreck. i couldn't eat, i couldn't do nothing-— do nothing. and that was the culmination _ do nothing. and that was the culmination of _ do nothing. and that was the culmination of everything i do nothing. and that was the | culmination of everything you do nothing. and that was the i culmination of everything you had but your body through? i can remember it got really bad for you when you actually retired. it remember it got really bad for you when you actually retired.- when you actually retired. it was a hue when you actually retired. it was a huge mistake. _ when you actually retired. it was a huge mistake, because _ when you actually retired. it was a huge mistake, because i - when you actually retired. it was a huge mistake, because i retired i huge mistake, because i retired without— huge mistake, because i retired without a — huge mistake, because i retired without a plan. and then it wasjust

they are already beating them selves up they are already beating them selves up over their actions. it's not something they can control. i've never been the type of person to say hard home truths to my dad. but this documentary forced me to push those lines of communication and... it still hurts me watching that but i know i have done the right thing. 0ur relationship is so much better for it. i our relationship is so much better for it. . . our relationship is so much better for it. .,, . . our relationship is so much better for it. .,, ., . ,., our relationship is so much better for it. ., . our relationship is so much better forit. , for it. i was watching your face is that it was _ for it. i was watching your face is that it was going _ for it. i was watching your face is that it was going out _ for it. i was watching your face is that it was going out and - for it. i was watching your face is that it was going out and i i for it. i was watching your face is that it was going out and i could | that it was going out and i could see you trying to keep it together. it's hard, all this. and to your point about being an enabler, it's very difficult forfamily point about being an enabler, it's very difficult for family members and people around alcoholism to step back and realise that there is only so much they can do.— back and realise that there is only so much they can do. yeah, and you are so right- — so much they can do. yeah, and you are so right. you _ so much they can do. yeah, and you are so right. you want _ so much they can do. yeah, and you are so right. you want to _ so much they can do. yeah, and you are so right. you want to save i so much they can do. yeah, and you are so right. you want to save the i are so right. you want to save the people that you care about, you want to be the reason they stop. and you're romanticise it and everything, and think you can be the hero. the fact is that people want to save them selves. recovery is a

slow process, it's not a linear thing. there are days when my dad is winning his battle on days when he's not doing so great. so the making of this documentary, the process, i have learned so much about addiction and alcoholism. and the role that the people around those suffering play. and ijust feel like, ifeel like it needs more sunlight, it needs more candle and it needs more people to understand it. you needs more candle and it needs more people to understand it.— people to understand it. you say our dad people to understand it. you say your dad has _ people to understand it. you say your dad has good _ people to understand it. you say your dad has good days - people to understand it. you say your dad has good days and i people to understand it. you say your dad has good days and bad | people to understand it. you say i your dad has good days and bad days, how is it doing? he’s your dad has good days and bad days, how is it doing?— how is it doing? he's doing really well, he doesn't _ how is it doing? he's doing really well, he doesn't like _ how is it doing? he's doing really well, he doesn't like his - how is it doing? he's doing really well, he doesn't like his voice i how is it doing? he's doing really well, he doesn't like his voice on| well, he doesn't like his voice on the telly, that's what we discovered last night, which is very cute, i'm the same! he is doing well at the moment, he spends time with my sister and their little girl, he has a great relationship with my mum, we have all booked family holiday and at the moment he is sober. your mum and our at the moment he is sober. your mum and your dad — at the moment he is sober. your mum and your dad were _ at the moment he is sober. your mum and your dad were together— at the moment he is sober. your mum and your dad were together 30 - at the moment he is sober. your mum and your dad were together 30 years | and your dad were together 30 years or so, and your dad were together 30 years orso, how and your dad were together 30 years or so, how has she taken all of this? she was living through all of

here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning everyone. this morning, it has been quite a humid start to the day and as we go through the day it will turn less humid in the north. we have also got a fair bit of cloud in places with some rain coming out, we have had rain across parts of scotland, northern ireland and a weak where the front thinking south, continuing tojourney and a weak where the front thinking south, continuing to journey into the south east, but by the time it gets here it will not have much more than a band of cloud. the wind changing direction in the north to the north—westerly so it will feel fresh here today. with the south—westerly still in the south, we are looking at another humid afternoon, another humid day. wind not as strong as yesterday. through the evening and overnight, the weak weather front will move away, clearer skies here, but a weather front moving from the west to east

across scotland and north england, bringing some rain. not as humid as last night. we lose the rain from eastern scotland first thing but if we follow this track, it is a weather front and that is producing cloud the odd spot of rain in northern england. thinking south into the midlands and wales through the day. for most, tomorrow will be a dry day, and fresher in the south. temperatures i3 a dry day, and fresher in the south. temperatures 13 to 25 degrees. a cooler start on friday, but once again, a lot of dry weather, a peppering of showers across the far north of scotland and a bit more cloud building as we go through the day. temperatures, i3 cloud building as we go through the day. temperatures, 13 in the north to 25 in the south. thank you so much, have a lovely day. after 17 years, more than 200 episodes, and countless spins of the wheel of news, mock the week is coming to an end. the bbc comedy panel show has been credited with proving a platform for comedians who are now

household names including our next guest, miltonjones. let's take a look. horse whisperers, what they do is they go up to horses and they go... and the horses go, "0k, fair enough". beware chinese horse whisperers. they go up to horses and they go... and the horse tells another horse. that horse tells another horse. by the end, the last horse is going... pffft ! what would be a really frustrating age for a cricketer to die?
