it wasn't quite as super saturday on the track for the home nations of the track for the home nations of the commonwealth games, but still, keely hodgkinson winning a great meal on night of athletics. temperatures are set to rise. we could see a heatwave once again in parts of england and wales this week. it's sunday 7th august. our main story — 12—year—old archie battersbee has died in hospital after weeks of legal battles over his care. his mother hollie dance said she was the proudest mum in the world. his life—sustaining treatment was withdrawn yesterday. the crossbench peer, lady finlay, who's a professor of palliative care, has called for a different approach to prevent disputes over life—support, ending up in court. helena wilkinson reports.

these photos were released by the family of archie before his life support was withdrawn. archie passed at 12:15pm today. can i say, i am the proudest moment in the world, such a beautiful little boy. he fought right until the very end. i am so proud to be his mother. he was found unconscious at his home in april. doctors said it was highly likely he was brainstem dead, no hope of recovery, and treatment should be withdrawn. his parents didn't agree, they wanted more time for their son, and so they fought the hospital trust through the courts. the central question judges looked at was what in archie's interest. they all agreed life

support should be withdrawn. the cases like archie's is extremely rare, and questions are raised about how such disputes could be avoided in the future. one idea would be to have an independent mediator who would speak to both the family and the hospital, in the hope any disagreement could be resolved without getting the courts involved.

anything we do i think to avoid things escalating would be worth looking it. of course there always will be some cases that do end up in court, but i do think it may be helpful if we can find a way of intervening early. archie's family is now going through what is difficult to imagine. the judge said his parents�* unconditional love and dedication for their son had been a golden thread that runs through this case. helen wilkinson, bbc news. israel says it has neutralised the military leadership of the islamichhad group, during a second day of air—strikes on gaza. israeli officials say in response, the palestinian militant group has fired more than 300 rockets and mortars into the south of the country. at least 30 people are known to have died. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell reports from jerusalem.

northern ireland. away from birmingham, from birmingham, we've had the first saturday of the premier league season, and it wasn't short on drama, with newly promoted fulham giving liverpool a tough test. dan ogunshakin rounds up the best of the action. excitement in the air for full and's returned to the big and unfinished business to resolve. liverpool have designs on the premier league title but for much of the game the hose look more like the top—flight side. commentator: it is in! alexander—arnold beaten at the back state by alexander middle ridge! jurgen klopp hoping to see the side of the season. but thanks to a new signings of newness, the signs are promising. having fought hard to level, they trip themselves. the serve at the double left the reds staring at an opening—day defeat.

he's a charismatic person, performer. his way of communicating, his intelligence that one hears whenever he is singing, isjust unique. and that makes him really very special. but the pressures of staying at the top are immense. the highs and lows of life as an operatic celebrity from one of the people who knows him best. to get to the top is not so difficult, but to stay there, this is really a hard one. are the sacrifices worth it? the moment it all falls into place and you are at a position that you've hardly ever dreamt of is so much of a payback that everything, all the work that you've done before, seems to be minimal. jonas kaufmann unveiled.

let me take you to the opera. singing jonas kaufmann is an opera legend. he's already assured of his place in history as one of the greatest ever tenors. applause like millions of others, i'm a huge fan ofjonas kaufmann and i try to see him

perform whenever i can. i am in awe of his almost supernatural talent, but now i can go one step further. i've come to the opera house in his hometown, munich, to find out more about his meteoric rise to globalfame. the bavarian state opera house is wherejonas began his career. and tickets are always snapped up for his performances. he sings during intervals, the foyer shop does a brisk trade. which single artist do you sell the most dvds, cd5 of?

the most and the best singer, it'sjonas kaufmann here in munich. and i think also in general, the visitors of this opera house fall in love also to this born in munich singer, jonas kaufmann. serge dorny, general manager of the bavarian state opera, explains kaufmann's appeal. well, the house, whenever he comes, is packed. i mean, these are... this is one of the first performances to be sold out, up to the point that even the orchestra pit... when he does a recital, we have to lift the orchestra pit and put seats. i mean, recently, in a recital, he had to sing five encores and they wouldn't stop. kaufmann's international career really took off in 2006, when he performed alongside soprano angela gheorghiu at the metropolitan opera in new york. after that, he was

flooded with offers. i became what people call a star with these performances alongside angela gheorghiu at the met. but that was obviously a key moment where the international market, if you would call it, noticed that there's this guy... laughs: ..that they just can't avoid any more for the future. but how did he start out? well, jonas kaufmann was born in 1969, when germany was divided. his parents fled east germany in the 19505. his father was an insurance broker, his mother a teacher, and he grew up with his older sister. we meet at the bavarian state opera house, where he first performed in his early career, and he tells me how his passion for music was formed. well, i grew up in a family that was fortunately extremely passionate with classical music and opera. they were all amateurs, obviously, but everyone was playing an instrument, and they all had

subscriptions to various concert series and opera performances and theatre and everything. so, i luckily was in a good position to actually see all the great artists that passed through munich and the various houses here. and, of course, that does something with you. and classical music was on either radio or from tape or lps all day long, so i really sucked it up like a sponge. so, classical music was your normal, but when did you fall in love with opera? well, i was there for the very first time — actually, in this house down there — for a performance of madame butterfly by puccini. and it was kind of awakening for me. i couldn't believe what i saw, what i heard. yeah, i was right there in the middle, that centre behind the conductor, when i saw this very first performance. and it was something so thrilling that i came home and said, "this is what i want to do."

he sings kaufmann trained as an opera singer at the academy of music, in munich. over the years, i learned how to sing, but i learned it in a way that the voice was...not harmed, maybe, but stressed so much that it was not a reliable instrument. and this is one of the absolute fundamental basics, if you want to have a long and successful career, that this instrument is reliable. and fortunately, i found another teacher who turned the whole process upside down. how difficult was it to get to where you are, to train your voice to be as versatile and incredible as it is? i mean, of course, it was a lot of training. it was a lot of waiting and hoping and suffering, maybe, too. but the moment it all falls into place and you are at a position that you've hardly ever dreamt of is so much of a payback that

everything, all the work that you've done before, seems to be minimal. it's a beautiful opera house, jonas. what does it mean to you performing here as a local boy? well, it's fantastic, obviously. i mean, i grew up in this city and, of course, it was always a super—glamorous moment and event to be here. such a look... i look at this and it's amazing. and to then be able to not only walk through here and afford a ticket, but to be the one that people are queuing for, it's unbelievable. he sings kaufmann has to look after his voice and tries to stay healthy. well, i don't have a general recipe. i mean, i do some warm—up exercises, some yoga that i do every day.

and i do it also right before the performance, because i believe very much into the fact that only a body that is fit and awake can hold a healthy voice. if you only concentrate on these tiny little vocal cords and all your effort goes through there, i think you're going to destroy the instrument and have no result whatsoever. if you run dry, it's a matter of seconds and your voice is gone. some people chew chewing gums, or i have these little gummy bears that i put somewhere in my cheek. but something like that. while you're singing, you'll put a gummy bear...? yeah, yeah, a little something. yeah, but... really? can you sing with it? the small ones, not these big ones. the babies! that's one of the secrets of your success? they laugh but not beer, not beer, for which the germans are renowned...? oh, absolutely. beer's very, very important because, after a performance, you're extremely dehydrated and then

there's nothing better than a beer... that's an excuse, jonas kaufmann! they laugh he sings whatever role he's in, jonas kaufmann dazzles. he's renowned for a vast range of performances in tosca, la traviata, otello and fidelio, amongst many others. what is the secret of his success? that's what the next generation of opera stars want to know. coming up, meet the young singers who want to learn from kaufmann i've come to castiglione della pescaia, on the tuscan coast in italy, to find out how a new generation of opera singers draw inspiration from the stellar career of the world's top tenor, jonas kaufmann.

they sing here, every year, a dozen lucky singers are selected from hundreds of applicants to attend masterclasses with big names from the world of opera at a summer school run by the georg solti academy. applause the academy was set up in 2004 by the family of the late hungarian conductor georg solti. during a long and distinguished career, he was music director of several opera houses, including the bavarian state opera in munich, germany, where, decades later, the young kaufmann would get his performing break. solti had believed passionately in encouraging and mentoring exceptional young opera singers from all over the world. he sings

that's beautiful, dear. one more time. and be even longer on heaven. the beginning... jonathan papp is co—founder and artistic director of the georg solti academy and is one of the world's leading vocal coaches. we've had some really wonderful singers that we've nurtured through here, and they've gone on to sing at all the great houses. angel vargas is a tenor from puerto rico and studied music in the united states. i first sanonas kaufmann in a video in 2011 of the royal opera house production of tosca. and i had no idea what he was singing, but he made me feel so many emotions. the music and his voice just took me to a place that i wanted to feel again. so, that's why i study opera, because of the passion and the emotion i felt in his voice. what i admire the most aboutjonas kaufmann is his voice, his passion, his artistry.

everything he brings, whenever he's on stage, isjust so pure. how would you describe jonas kaufmann's voice in the pantheon of tenors? it's extremely rare to find a voice likejonas kaufmann. and it's finding a voice where the person's put in that kind of work to give them the longevity, but also to give them this expressive quality in whatever they choose to sing, the dramatic quality, which is compelling when you're in your audience. he sings armenian tenor tigran melkonyan is also a great admirer of kaufmann. if i meetjonas kaufmann, i i will ask how to be like him, because, actually, you can say- "jonas kaufmann" and everyone around you will understand that - you are speaking about taste, about extraordinary voice, about talent, about, - of course, attractiveness.

he sings what advice would you give to young tenors or young opera singers who are embarking on a great career? it's always difficult to give general advices. of course, the first advice maybe is listen to yourself, because you need to be satisfied with what you're doing, but you need to be very critical to yourself because no—one at the beginning will believe you, probably, or believe in you as much as you do. and later on, no—one will tell you... laughs: ..if you're i doing something wrong! and the second is you have to burn for it. and if you burn for such thing, if you have this passion, you have to do it. and it's a tough world. and i'm sure there are a lot of great, great talents out there. but unfortunately, many of these talents never make it because they get the wrong advice, or they are not discovered

by the right person to be guided in the right way, and their talent is burned within a couple of years. what would you say is the secret of your phenomenal success, jonas? well, the easy answer to the question, what the secret of my success is, there are not that many! i would love to have more competition, and especially the number of tenors is going down. but, i mean, stability is maybe one of the reasons. i keep that quality. and i kept it now for quite a while, for at least, let's say, 15 years. and there's a certain guarantee, when there is a performance with kaufmann, that there is a certain quality to expect. but, i mean, what about the sacrifices you've had to make along the way to get to the top of an opera career such as yours? there are a lot of things that you have to give up. i don't want to say you don't see your children grow up, but there are these moments

where you really, really, really want to be there, whether it's... ..a play that they're playing or a first day at a new school and you want to be there when they come home and talk about it, because, of course, you hearfrom it second—hand, or maybe with a video or something, but it's not the same. it's not the same also for them. i'm sure there are people who want to swap with me, and so i shouldn't complain too much. thomas voigt is kauffman's official biographer and is also his media manager and close friend. even in the same production, he will never give the same performance twice because it's all different. i mean, of course, he always looks for some days to refill the batteries, but sometimes i wish he would stop for more than two weeks, let's say a month, without doing anything to be ready for the next season. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. so, depends on the planning.

how does he deal with having to cancel performances when people have bought tickets and they want to see him? oh, yes, this is really a hard thing if he has to cancel because of illness. and on the social media, there are many, many voices of people, very disappointed. every cancellation is always a problem, and it's something that you don't want to do easily. i totally understand the frustration. what i don't understand is, if i buy a ticket for bayern munchen or chelsea and my favourite player is not playing because he's injured, everyone feels sorry for this person, but no—one asks to take its money back. they all see the same game, only that it maybe turns out with a different result because the best player was not on the field.

but in opera, it is... it seems to be a very different story and people don't believe that opera singers can be sick and have problems of health, and therefore not able to sing, which on the other hand maybe shows me that it seems to be something extraterrestrial, something not human, what we are doing. that's why people don't believe that we are human beings and that this gift that we are having can be easily destroyed. he sings

so, regular audiences may at times be disappointed when their favourite singers cancel, but how does one attract such passion for opera amongst younger people? i know that young people love modern things, but they would never go to the opera to find modernity. they would go to the opera to find fantasy, to find the past, to dream away from a difficult life that they are in. so, keep the opera traditional... keep it... ..don't try to reinvent it in a modern way, and you feel that that will maintain and spread its appeal? absolutely. tell the story that people are entertained and are drawn into this...into this

wonderful, magicalworld. are you worried about the future of opera? i am worried, because i... of course, everyone wants to do something new. music means it is something that not only entertains us, but itjust resonates somewhere within us. and it can only resonate if it has a certain beauty. and the more you go away from these rules and recipes that for several centuries did work well, the more complicated this music becomes. he sings jonas kaufmann is extremely important, actually, for opera today and opera tomorrow. somehow, he makes it relevant. he gives it a kind of actuality, his personality, the way he is approaching it.

so, he makes it that opera is not something about the past. there is no nostalgia of the past. i mean, somehow, he communicates nostalgia of the future. so, jonas, what are your plans for the future? or have you done everything you want to do? well, pretty much, yes. the list is getting shorter and shorter. it's more of the same, but more of the same is actually already quite a variety because, i mean, fortunately, the repertoire has been growing so big that whatever i take on, even if i've done it already several times, but it's certainly ages ago, and that makes this whole thing very exciting and interesting and keeps me attracted to it. it's been a joy to spend time withjonas in munich. i even managed to share the stage with him. this is a stage with which you're very familiar, jonas. it is true, absolutely, yes. and what's it like performing here in your hometown? it's fantastic.

archie was found unconscious at his home in april. doctors said it was highly likely that he was brain stem dead, no hope of recovery, and treatment, they said, should be withdrawn. archie's parents didn't agree, they wanted more time for their son, and so they fought the hospital trust through the courts. the central question judges looked at was what was in archie's best interest. they all agreed — life support should be withdrawn. barts health nhs trust said its heartfelt condolences remained with archie's family, adding:

cases like archie's are extremely rare. it's questions are raised about how such disputes can be avoided in the future. one idea would be to have an independent mediator who would speak to both the family and the hospital, in the hope any disagreement could be resolved without getting the courts involved. anything that we can do i think to try to avoid things escalating would be worth looking at. of course there always will be some cases that do end up in court, but i do think it may be helpful if we can find a way of intervening early. archie's family are now going through what is difficult to imagine. the judge said archie's parents' unconditional love and dedication for their son had been a golden thread that ran through this case.

helen wilkinson, bbc news. conservative leadership frontrunner liz truss will reverse the planned increase in national insurance contributions within weeks of becoming prime minister, according to her campaign team. arguments between ms truss and former chancellor rishi sunak over how to handle the economy and the cost of living crisis have been central to the campaign. we're joined now by our political correspondentjonathan blake. how realistic is this? is how realistic is this? is the _ how realistic is this? is the rise of national insurance payments, that is what most was paid for each _ payments, that is what most was paid for each employer as well, but she has now— for each employer as well, but she has now said that she will do it sooner— has now said that she will do it sooner than planned, within weeks of taking _ sooner than planned, within weeks of taking office as part of an emergency budget. this illustrates

more than 30 people are known to have died. our middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest from jerusalem. explosion the full force of israel's new military operation in gaza. this building hitjust minutes after a warning strike. palestinians racing away. a year of relative calm now shattered. this is where one of the first israeli airstrikes killed a islamichhad commander, leaving his neighbour in shock. "we were safe in our home, we were thrown out of it "by the bomb," says mariam, "why didn't they warn us?" islamichhad fied heavy barrages of rockets, in revenge, it said, for its leader's death. most were intercepted by israeli defences. but earlier, a missle hit this israeli home. "the family went to their shelter when the air raid sirens went off," local official yaron says.

"this is probably what saved them. "no—one was hurt." israeli forces are targeting what they say are militant bases in gaza. they maintain they are reacting to a direct threat from iran—backed islamichhad. with further deaths in gaza, much now depends on the decisions of the powerful militant group on hamas which governs here. we're hearing about other important developments, at least six people killed, including children, in a blast in the north of gaza, with israel and some palestinians blaming a misfired militant rocket. that could complicate egypt—led efforts to broker a ceasefire. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. an 11—year—old girl has died after getting into difficulty at a waterpark in berkshire. members of the public searched a lake at liquid leisure in datchet yesterday afternoon before she was found by emergency services. thames valley police say

they are treating her death as unexplained. there is fresh hope that tens of thousands of tons of essential food will begin being exported from ukraine in the coming days. four ships have been given permission to take grain and sunflower oil out of two of the country's black sea ports today. millions of tons of grain have been stuck in ukraine since the russian invasion began, causing a global shortage, which is pushing up food prices. the united states has accused beijing of provocative and irresponsible actions after taiwan said china rehearsed an attack on the island. china has been holding its biggest—ever show of military force around self—ruled taiwan, including the firing of ballistic missiles. it follows a trip to taiwan by senior us democrat nany pelosi on wednesday. our china correspondent stephen mcdonnelljoins us live from beijing.

how does this play out from here? what happens mark the hard line on the communist party would be feeling pretty good about how this has panned out. after all, eventually they want to do retake taiwan by force. now, as a result of this visit by nancy pelosi a whole new level of militaristic response has been normalised, if i could put it that way. firing missiles over taiwan's territory, having a dress rehearsal for missiles over taiwan's territory, having a dress rehearsalfor a blockade of taiwan. are we going to see that every year from now on? for example. more broadly, there are problems in that there has been significant damage to commercial shipping, it is a very busy area for commercial shipping, shipping, it is a very busy area for commercialshipping, commercial commercial shipping, commercial flights, taiwan's commercialshipping, commercial flights, taiwan's economy has been hurt, and we have all these areas of cooperation between china and the us

which have now stopped, for example maritime safety. no more cooperation on that front. cross—border crime prevention and significantly, climate change. they have dropped all talks on those fronts. so a lot of tensions between the world's superpowers. thank you for the update. some hoping for warmer weather this week, some hoping for rain. we have the letters. i have one but not the other. if you are after rain, not much coming past england and wales. another sunny start, more to come. more cloud further north, this is the view it cumbria. still some breaks by the cloud is the car across the north of northern ireland in western scotland. some rain and drizzle so far this morning. these areas continue to see damp weather at times. the east of scotland is drier and brighter. clyde will increase. northern ireland will brightens guys, more sunshine in the afternoon. still cloud across

temperatures rise even further into the mid 305 by the middle of the week and on. more details later. just over two weeks ago, on britain's hottest day, unprecedented grassfires in and around london destroyed the homes and possessions of dozens of families. the scorched remains of houses still bear witness to what happened in wennington in east london, including that of alfie stock, who showed our reporter guy lynn what remains of his family home of 50 years. these are the moments filmed from a mobile phone. houses in wennington going up in flames. alfie tries to use a garden hose as his family home of 50 years is destroyed in minutes. two weeks on from that fateful tuesday, alfie wants to showers the

damage. this is the front door. this was mum and dads bedroom. that is their bed sitting there. alfie lives in a small community of around 20 homes in wennington. three other families — around 20 homes in wennington. three other families like _ around 20 homes in wennington. three other families like yours _ around 20 homes in wennington. three other families like yours are still trying to make sense of the last fortnight. my fortnight. my place was hanging off the wall there, that was always my bedroom from when i was about five, you know. so i think seeing that made me more emotional than anything else. it is hard to remember what it look like, actually, to be fair. this led here was of a box of medals that my dad had. we couldn't find it in the house for the last couple of years. we were worried it may have been stolen or misplaced. lucky enough, it fell out of the window, so it went too bad, so i got to get back my great grandad's or middle flat. this is the base of the whole family, you know, friends and stuff. everybody showed a lot of memories here. it isjust everybody showed a lot of memories here. it is just sad to see it like

this. after scrambling through, trying to get what few possessions you can out, i think i feel detachment now, you know, this ain't the house that i grew up in. as and they house that my parents love. i look to the future now. it they house that my parents love. i look to the future now.— look to the future now. it will take a lona look to the future now. it will take a long time _ look to the future now. it will take a long time to _ look to the future now. it will take a long time to rebuild _ look to the future now. it will take a long time to rebuild these i look to the future now. it will take i a long time to rebuild these homes. at the local church where the grounds were also damaged by fire, locals have been coming for support and quiet reflection. and also to leave presence for those who have lost their homes. i think there has been a whole range of reactions over the last two weeks. there has been shot, there has been grief, anger, even moments of laughter and joy in the mist of it all is well. and then the broader community has been a immensely generous, the outpouring of donations has been overwhelming. around 20 families are still can't return to their homes. alfie has been staying at this hotel. today he was continuing to search for a place to rent for at least the next year.

basically just trying to find a place to live until the house is rebuild. obviously there was a lot of those in the house only to find a place that has got enough bedrooms, and we need to look for something for my family around here, don't really expect it here. hasn't really sunkin really expect it here. hasn't really sunk in yet, i don't think. you can't imagine not what alfie's family but others are going through. how easily that can happen, and then you feel so defenceless. te: how easily that can happen, and then you feel so defenceless.— you feel so defenceless. 16 minutes ast you feel so defenceless. 16 minutes past seven- — you feel so defenceless. 16 minutes past seven- the _ you feel so defenceless. 16 minutes past seven. the father _ you feel so defenceless. 16 minutes past seven. the father of _ you feel so defenceless. 16 minutes past seven. the father of a - you feel so defenceless. 16 minutes past seven. the father of a soldier i past seven. the father of a soldier from lincoln who took his own life after serving in afghanistan is determined to have his son honoured on the memorial.— determined to have his son honoured on the memorial. nathan hunt server more than 20 — on the memorial. nathan hunt server more than 20 years _ on the memorial. nathan hunt server more than 20 years and _ on the memorial. nathan hunt server more than 20 years and was - on the memorial. nathan hunt server more than 20 years and was being i more than 20 years and was being treated for ptsd when he died three years ago. the defence minister has now agreed to meet his father.

at the centre of a legal battle about his care. he was found unconscious by his mother hollie dance in april and had since been on life support. we'rejoined now by doctorjosh parker who specialises in medical ethics and also by baroness finlay, a professor of palliative medicine at cardiff university. a good morning to you, thank you for being here. such a tragic outcome in this case. talk us through a little bit first of all about the decisions in the process that will have been gone through to get us to where we are today. gone through to get us to where we are toda . , , ., ,, ., are today. this is not the kind of decision that _ are today. this is not the kind of decision that one _ are today. this is not the kind of decision that one doctor - are today. this is not the kind of decision that one doctor would l are today. this is not the kind of- decision that one doctor would make on their own, so usually, therefore, point where the team are starting to think that the prognosis is looking very poor, that they will not be an outcome that is considered to be good, and so then a process of trying to make sure that we are certain about that, we are convinced that that really is the truth of the

facts, and then there is a conversation amongst the team to see what the rest of the team think, because in paediatric intensive care, you have a huge amount of people on a team, a huge number of specialists and you wanted to bring them together to make the best decision, and in the process of having a dialogue with the family opens up, and that takes time, you have to lay a foundation, to build upon, it's a highly, stressful difficult situation, you can'tjust appear and start with these really difficult decisions, you have to build up to it, so this dialogue happens and things progressed from there but ultimately what you are looking for is consensus, agreements amongst the family and the team that continuing treatment is not in the individual�*s best interests. find continuing treatment is not in the individual's best interests. and the ho -e i individual's best interests. and the hone i sunpose _ individual's best interests. and the hone i sunpose is— individual's best interests. and the hope i suppose is that _ individual's best interests. and the hope i suppose is that consensus l individual's best interests. and the| hope i suppose is that consensus is reached and it does not have to be escalated. when it does a winner becomes a legal procedure, and that's really difficult for the judiciary, isn't it? it

whole project of ethics is fundamentally human, and will raise difficult emotions, and part of the skill for the medical team is moderating those emotions and using them to help make a good decision, is not letting them cloud but you can't entirely remove emotion from a situation where you have a 12—year—old who is really really sick. 12-year-old who is really really sick. ., ., 12-year-old who is really really sick. ., . , , , 12-year-old who is really really sick. ., ., , , ,. , sick. you are studying this closely. how often do _ sick. you are studying this closely. how often do you _ sick. you are studying this closely. how often do you think _ sick. you are studying this closely. how often do you think clinical- how often do you think clinical communication goes wrong, and plays a part in outcomes becoming a lot more complicated and convoluted than they necessarily need to be? communication is absolutely key in these kinds of situations, especially because it comes down to disagreement and the only way really to resolve this is the conversation, so communication has to a car stop at the difficulty with communication is trying to explain typical medical concepts to help people who are in a really difficult situation, and also

what you are trying to navigate is this quite tricky balance between sort of saying we want you to be involved and want to know what you think, this decision matters to you, so we want to reach consensus, but ultimately if you don't agree with us, it's not entirely your decision, there is another process to go along and navigating the outline is really hard, saying it is and isn't your decision at the same time. find hard, saying it is and isn't your decision at the same time. and it's very difficult _ decision at the same time. and it's very difficult when _ decision at the same time. and it's very difficult when you _ decision at the same time. and it's very difficult when you are - very difficult when you are suffering grief and trauma and it is your child at the end of the day. good morning to you, we have been going to the complexities of cases like this, what do you think should happen so that when we do have tragic cases in this form the complications don't arise when it comes to a legal battle like this? i think first of all, i have been calling — think first of all, i have been calling for a review, and i do think that we _ calling for a review, and i do think that we need to do that, to look and

attracted her to a potentially life changing study for people all over the world. it's not that much work, and it's just coming in for 4— six months. it's pretty easy. this south hampton testing a new type of vaccine. it's delivered by a nasal spray — the old vaccines were injected. the idea of this vaccine is that it improves your immune response in your nose, so the place where we know that whooping cough gets in, and because it improves the immune response there, it should protect against what we call colonisation, otherwise carrying whooping cough bacteria without having symptoms. tony here is suffering from the after—effects of whooping cough, and he is about to become the subject of a new experimental shortcut cure. before vaccines, whooping cough brought severe illness and death in young children and babies. it's estimated that it still kills 160,000 people worldwide, many of them children. it's widely felt that the current vaccine is becoming less effective and can be improved upon. we know there was a relatively big

outbreak of whooping cough in the uk in about 2012, but we have gradually seen an increase in numbers since that time, and we are trying to pre—empt any further increase that we might see. we know that globally there has been an increase in other parts of the world as well, and it does seem to be linked to changes to the vaccine, which is effective for a period of time, but perhaps is wearing off more quickly. all patients first need to be screened to see if they are healthy enough to take part. scott is keen to support new vaccines, but also hopes the compensation will help him get on the property ladder. we have been trying to save for a few years. with housing prices climbing then of course we have to save more, so while we are at an ok point, this is a nice sort of chunk of change to have on top of that deposit money. while around 60 people will take part, several hundred are needed to see if they are eligible. many more people are being urged to come forward. all participants will have to attend several appointments and also stay in a hotel for 16 days where

they will be carefully monitored. the trial will run until next april. it's hoped the results will make a big difference to the number of people who suffer worldwide. alastair fee, bbc news. coming up to 20 to eight. the conditions on mont blanc are so dangerous that climbers are being asked to pay a deposit of 15,000 euros to cover the cost of their potential rescue. a lack of winter snow and this summer's extraordinary heat have destabilised rocks and made crossings more difficult. let's now speak to british mountaineer kenton cool. good morning, thanks for being with us. 15,000 euros, an insurance policy that if you do nude rescue in whatever circumstances, you are covered. is that a reasonable charge? covered. is that a reasonable charte? ,, ., covered. is that a reasonable (hare? ., ., ., j covered. is that a reasonable charte? ,, ., ., �* ,, charge? quite frankly, i don't think it's reasonable, _ charge? quite frankly, i don't think

it's reasonable, and _ charge? quite frankly, i don't think it's reasonable, and that's - charge? quite frankly, i don't think it's reasonable, and that's for - charge? quite frankly, i don't think it's reasonable, and that's for a - it's reasonable, and that's for a number of reasons. it's been put in place by the manner of the local principality —— mayor. and the key thing is, nobody owes mont blanc —— owns. i totally sympathise with what the mayor's offices trying to do, they are trying to pull out a reasonable warning that is unsafe to climb. the line that you have to cross is very very dangerous this year and the mayor's office has given a number of warnings that climbers should not approach the mountain, yet that has been ignored, so this is a bit of a shock tactic, i believe, by the mayor, to try to dissuade people to do that, and i totally sympathise with that, however, i think the way it has been done is unlawful and not really in the ethos of mountaineering. but as

ou said, the ethos of mountaineering. but as you said. this _ the ethos of mountaineering. but as you said. this is— the ethos of mountaineering. but as you said, this is the _ the ethos of mountaineering. but as you said, this is the mayor- the ethos of mountaineering. but as you said, this is the mayor saying i you said, this is the mayor saying if you do need help, someone has to pay, it's dangerous, please don't go but if you insist on going we need to cover our costs.— but if you insist on going we need to cover our costs. exactly what he is doint , to cover our costs. exactly what he is doing. but— to cover our costs. exactly what he is doing. but i _ to cover our costs. exactly what he is doing, but i do _ to cover our costs. exactly what he is doing, but i do what _ to cover our costs. exactly what he is doing, but i do what sort - to cover our costs. exactly what he is doing, but i do what sort of- is doing, but i do what sort of french jurisdiction is doing, but i do what sort of frenchjurisdiction of is doing, but i do what sort of french jurisdiction of french law he can do that, i'm not 100% sure. are used to live in the area, is to climb mont blanc in main capacity as a mountain guide pretty much weekly throughout the summer season, and i know how dangerous it can be, and i know how dangerous it can be, and i know that the local rescue servers do an amazing job at vast expense, and most climbers who have been there will have some sort of insurance anyway, most british climbers would sign up to an insurance policy like british mountaineering council or something akin to that. most climbers already have that in place. exactly how the authorities intend to enforce this

15,000 euros deposit i'm not entirely sure. how they are going to keep people off the mountain again, i don't understand. the underlining thing here is the mayor is trying to keep people safe. he said you should not go, yet only last week five romanians who were essentially in tennis shoes were attempting to climb the mountain and had to be turned back by the local police are. people are not listening to the authorities who have a much better level of expertise and knowledge. i keep reiterating this point, i believe this is a shock tactic to try to dissuade people from going, but mountaineering is one of these amazing sports and a rare sport these days where you don't need to be a member of a club, or society, you don't necessarily need to be in the right clothing, it is open to everybody, anybody can go into the mountains, pretty much anywhere in the world and pit themselves against what the mountain has to offer, and that should i believe, in the

current society that we live in, be encouraged. this is doing quite the opposite, this is generating some form of almost financial elitism, to say you can only claim if you have the financial wherewithal of putting down that particular deposit. i’m down that particular deposit. i'm sure ou down that particular deposit. i'm sure you do _ down that particular deposit. i'm sure you do agree only to climb where it is safe. just explain the combination of factors at the moment, the hot weather, the lack of snow, that means geologically, it's particularly dangerous at the moment on the mountain. that particularly dangerous at the moment on the mountain.— on the mountain. that particular area of mont _ on the mountain. that particular area of mont blanc _ on the mountain. that particular area of mont blanc has - on the mountain. that particular area of mont blanc has always . on the mountain. that particular i area of mont blanc has always been notorious but what we have seen recently in recent years really, just recently is the permafrost, the colder temperatures that keeps the mountain together is, that sticks it with snow and ice, what we have found over the last few years, rising temperatures means that the permafrost is gradually getting higher and higher,

permafrost is gradually getting higherand higher, normally permafrost is gradually getting higher and higher, normally during the summer overnight, things would freeze back in place, and now is not happening. only last week in switzerland, the zero ice level, where things that january —— generally freeze, was at 5200 metres, that the highest ever recorded number overnight, so these rocks are not being stuck into place in the mountain quite literally is falling to pieces, and every now and then a rock will tumble down and set off a chain reaction. you can go onto twitter or youtube and cds videos, it is quite literally russian roulette, it is incredibly dangerous. most guides like myself decided to or three weeks ago that it was too dangerous to climb, but the mayor took the option not to pull out, he was highly advised, and this week the two mountain hearts that most people would stay in were

officially shuts to try and dissuade people and finally this shock tactic of the deposit for the rescue, and right now they are quite literally falling to pieces, rocks raining down everywhere and it's very sad state of affairs, which i believe pretty much directly linked to climate change and global warning. we have been looking at some of those pictures while you have been talking, we getting to the stage where some of these mountains will be un— climbable, particularly during summer, and maybe in winter when there is more ice, it will be safer, and i use the word safer and not safe, to climb?— safer, and i use the word safer and not safe, to climb? 100%. over the last decade — not safe, to climb? 100%. over the last decade or _ not safe, to climb? 100%. over the last decade or two _ not safe, to climb? 100%. over the last decade or two decades, - not safe, to climb? 100%. over the last decade or two decades, we - not safe, to climb? 100%. over the | last decade or two decades, we have seen some roots, not necessarily all routes, but we have seen some roots that become much more frequented and perhaps a spring or autumn time when the temperatures are lower, when we do continue in the manner where we have seen in terms of warming in the

alps, the lack of snowfall in the winter, this winterjust gone as one of the lower snowfalls the alps has ever seen, of the lower snowfalls the alps has everseen, if of the lower snowfalls the alps has ever seen, if we continue to see this, the standard route on mont blanc, then the mountain guides not going to going to want to do this as their bread and butter worker so we will see a shift to perhaps more rocky roots which are arguably safer, or easier roots over a bit more mellow terrain which doesn't have this potential chokepoint. it's a very worrying trend that mountain guides have been watching for the last 5—10 years. lets guides have been watching for the last 5-10 years— last 5-10 years. lets people start to heed those — last 5-10 years. lets people start to heed those warnings _ last 5-10 years. lets people start to heed those warnings then. - last 5-10 years. lets people start - to heed those warnings then. kenton cool to heed those warnings then. kenton cool, telling us about the dangers around mont blanc at the moment but also that balance between making sure people still enjoy it is a really important message, it isn't

it? get out — get out there and walk, wherever you live. who would have thought that mountains can start collapsing as well. speaking of mountains, we're also about volcanoes later in the programme. heat at the other end of the scale. there is a little bit of rain near to the icelandic capital. it started to the icelandic capital. it started to smoke last wednesday, local authorities nearby have warned people to stay away from the area as you would expect. we have helpfully put the name of the volcano on top of the screen. well done. half—an—hour from of the screen. well done. half—an—hourfrom reykjavik, it half—an—hour from reykjavik, it began half—an—hourfrom reykjavik, it began erupting on the third of august and it is still going. i don't think that level of drizzle will put out a volcano. it’s don't think that level of drizzle will put out a volcano. it's going to create a _

indeed this morning plenty of sunshine to greet your sunday across much of england and wales, this is the view on the east coast of essex, not the same everywhere, more cloud to the north and west of scotland at the moment, producing some rain and drizzle around and will that it will always be a bit cloudy other further north you go. we have high pressure building on but underneath that we will see temperatures left day by day because the ground is so dry, but on the northern edge we have some weather fronts pushing through, and the rain drizzle coming and going across the northern east of northern ireland, fringing into northern ireland, fringing into north cumbria and northumberland but largely dry here, the rain and drizzle will be there all day long because parts of western scotland but northern eastern scotland, other than the odd isolated shower, northern ireland seeing more sunshine developing into the afternoon, some cloud on the far north of england, and these temperatures are up on yesterday, further south are starting to turn hot, 25- 28

further south are starting to turn hot, 25— 28 degrees in strong sunshine overhead. the rain drizzle easing for a time in scotland but wetter weather pushing towards the western isles, with a stiffening breeze and temperatures denied a bit higher than last night, most places in double figures but they will be some rural areas, particularly across the western southwest. for monday, rain at times, for the highlands, islands, orkney and shetland, and away from that southern scotland much more sunshine, sunshine a bit hazy, blue skies and much of england and wales, early cloud in lincoln and yorkshire, and the temperatures continuing to rise, already approaching 30 degrees towards the central london area, rising further into tuesday and wins will be stronger, gale force winds possible but plenty of sunshine elsewhere, temperatures up to around 30 or 31 in the south—east, to around the mid 20s in eastern scotland and northern ireland and high pressure still with us as we go through the rest of this

week, maybe tapping into a bit of a south—easterly wind, heatwave conditions likely in england and wales, and temperatures well for the second half of the week of staying in the 30s and claiming further in scotland and northern ireland. hot temperatures, no hot air. and no rain either- — now it's time for the film review, with anna smith and jane hill. hello, and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. and taking us through this week's cinema releases, anna smith is back with us. good to see you for the summer, anna, and what have you been watching? first off, we're getting on board bullet train. this is brad pitt's new starring role in an action thriller based on a japanese novel. then we've got fadia's tree, which is a documentary

about a palestinian refugee, by the artist sarah beddington. and then, we've got maisie, which is a documentary about britain's oldest performing drag queen. it's a fantastic mixture — let's start with brad pitt, though. we've got to start with brad pitt. i'm a big fan, i think he's terrific in almost everything i've seen him in, to be honest. he's great in bullet train — as i said, it's based on a novel, ajapanese novel, and it's directed by david leitch, who actually used to be brad pitt's stunt double. which is quite an interesting turnaround. oh, interesting! and since then, he's directed atomic blonde, deadpool 2. i think fans of the tones of those kind of films might want to check this film out. it's set in tokyo on a bullet train with an international cast. brad pitt plays ladybug, who is a hit man who's hired to do what's meant to be a simplejob — go onto the train, get a briefcase, come off the train, deliver it to the right people. simple, i'm sure. not that simple, this being an action thriller. and it turns out there

are a lot of other hit men on the train — coincidence or not, two of them are supposedly british hit men. and we'll see from the clip that they're having a little conversation about their names. one is called lemon, and one is called tangerine. let's have a look. lemon. tangerine. you're bleeding, mate. that's not mine, mate. it's not yours? 0h, in that case, just leave yourjacket open and let people have a good old look. yeah, i want everyone to see my tie. - pull your coat together so no—one else notices, lemon. i think they'll notice - the childish codenames first, but if we're sticking with fruit, why not| apple or orange? so what's in this case? on phone: are we doing this? you know what's in the case. money, it's always money. tangerine's a sophisticated fruit. 0h, now a fruit's sophisticated? i yeah, it's cross—hybridised with other fruit. they're adaptable — like me. then why am i lemon? because you're sour — no—one likes lemon. lemonade, lemon drops... you got a sore throat? lemon meringue pie. when was the last time you ate a lemon meringue pie? lemon drizzle cake. i'm sorry, are you talking about lemons? i quite like lemons — i ijust hate code names.

not without humour. well, it is certainly attempts at comedy. i'm glad to see you laughing, maybe i'm a little bit harder to please. i was not finding that that funny. i like both actors, brian tyree henry and aaron taylor—johnson — one american and one british, by the way. but to me this was a bit of an attempt at the tarantino—style, you know, the criminals having the little conversations. there's a running joke about thomas the tank engine — one of them's obsessed with thomas the tank engine. it doesn't quite [and for me. in the screening i went to, some people were laughing, some people were stony—faced. but the emphasis of this is very much on the action, because of the genre we're in here. and the action is well delivered, it's very, very slick. what i felt was, is that a lot of the dialogue and the characters definitely came second to that. so, if you want to sit back and enjoy a thriller on a train with pretty top—end violence for cert 15, i'd say, then go ahead. but if you want a film where you actually believe the characters and you actually believe what they're saying, because i felt like there was quite a lot of stuff that should've worked on the page — they didn't do a second or third orfourth take when it actually came

to the shooting of it. so i've got a bit of a mixed response to this one. it's not up there with deadpool 2, if you're a fan of the genre. i'm loving the look, you see, because i love all the bright primary colours. i mean, that's great. but it's interesting that you mentioned atomic blonde, because my other half loved it, and that sort of thing is just, again, a bit too violent for me. so it's — take your pick. if you like that sort of film, maybe you'll enjoy it. maybe you will — it's not the top of the genre, but it had its pleasures. all right, and, yeah, we like brad pitt. so something very, very different with fadia's tree. so fadia's tree is a documentary about a palestinian refugee who's living in a camp in lebanon, she's called fadia. and i love the story of how she met the film—maker, sarah beddington, the artist — they were in a cafe in beirut 15 years before this film was made, and a woman leant over to sarah and said, "are you happy?" such an interesting intro. and the two struck up a conversation, they struck up a great friendship. sarah ended up going to the camp, finding out more about this very strong personality, fadia, who makes a very interesting subject, i think.

and fadia actually asked her to go to her homeland — the homeland she can't visit — in order to find this tree, which is a mulberry tree that's kind of legendary in the family, and it's very much part of her ancestral identity. i think it's a quietly powerful piece of work. for me, it's not up there with other personal female—led documentaries we've had recently like i am belmaya, or the wonderful for sama. but i do think that it raises some issues that are interesting, and it's certainly quite moving and a little bit heartbreaking in places. yes, i think everyone should watch it, in the sense ofjust reminding ourselves how refugees live. this is someone who can almost see the border of the country she should be living in, but is living her whole life with herfamily in a refugee camp in lebanon — and yet so close to her homeland, which she clearly, of course, as you would, really pines for. and that comes through across the whole film, doesn't it? and that's very powerful and very moving, i think. it's very much about a sense of home, and also, it's interesting, it's contrasted with lots of details about bird migration in the area.

so i think perhaps slightly laboured, but interesting symbolism there obviously about the freedom of the birds and the freedom that she doesn't have. yes, and how certain birds will land on one side of the palestine border, as that as they refer to their homeland, and some land in lebanon. and the ornithologist makes the point that some birds know where they belong, and they will always find their way home. i know what you mean — possibly slightly laboured, but also very beautiful, and some very beautiful filming of the birds, as well. it's gorgeous, i like the pace of this, i think it's one of those films that you just submit to. and if you commit to it and you just buy into it, then it is a rather lovely film. yeah, and you certainly learn a lot, and heartbreaking. a different — very different style and subject matter for the finalfilm. yeah, another documentary — this is about britain's oldest performing drag artist, maisie trollette, otherwise known as david raven. and this is a brighton—set documentary, chiefly. and you see david in the run—up to his 85th birthday when his friends have a bit of a surprise for him.

let's have a look at a clip. i love that!

they keep coming back to that point, don't they, during the documentary? yeah, he insists he is a "drag artiste", and quite rightly so. and i love this idea of this american coming over and this culture clash. again, it's obviously very set up, but the fact they're both slightly unimpressed and slightly wary of each other and this rather awkward afternoon tea — you've got this boozy brit, and then this very abstemious, very showy american. and it's kind of fascinating, but it also touches on what it was like to be a young gay man when he was young. and i think that that's really interesting, there's lots of memories in his friends. and also, there's a real sense of community that you get from this film, as well, the fact that he has no living relatives and his friends are helping him out, looking after him. and, you know, it's a low—budget documentary, for sure, but i think if this kind of subject matter interests to you, then it's a bit of a charmer. yes, i think you've hit the nail on the head in the sense of you do have to have some interest in the subject matter. i think it is quite niche — and i've nothing against that at all, you know, i'm really interested, and i think some

elements of this are very affectionate. but it's funny that we're looking at the clip of the american chap, because actually, for me, that's the bit that worked the least. the bits that are great, as you say, are all about community, the brighton community, and these two people who'd never met before — maybe if they'd got on famously, it would have been quite sweet, but actually, i don't think they really did! and you could find that a bit funny, but i actually found that a little bit painful. i know what you mean, it's almost like two films in one — i would have happily watched just his daily life in brighton and, you know, him and his garden, just saying, "who'd know that in this garden shed, "i have all these sparkly ball gowns, and they help keep "the birds away"? all those lovely details. yeah, they were the more touching and more telling details, weren't they? definitely. i could've lived without the man from america, i'm afraid, but there you are. that will only make sense to you if you see the film. but it's an interesting, affectionate portrait — but, yes, made on more of a budget than fadia's tree. definitely, but i enjoyed it. yeah. and so, your best out for this week? she will — this is charlotte colbert's drama—horror—thriller, call it what you will,

set in the scottish highlands, where alice krieger plays a former hollywood star who's recovering in a retreat with her nurse. and things take a very interesting turn — it touches on witchcraft, it touches on the metoo movement, there's folk horror elements, there's a bit of dark comedy there — rupert everett is rather amusing as this sort of flamboyant man running the retreat. there's a lot going on. i really liked it, i think it's a really interesting film, visually stunning. it stayed with me, for sure — i watched it first at the london film festival, and it really stuck with me. i think the atmosphere is incredible, and the whole storyline — the idea that that the women of the past are inspiring and empowering the women of the present through the earth — i thought that was rather powerful. i loved the filming of it and the look of it. it is well documented — it's a little bit too creepy for my taste, but i know that's testament to how well it's made that i found it very creepy, i think, because that is the point. but it is really well—made. and is it a debut feature?

i thought that's impressive for a debut feature. i thought that was really fantastic. and for people who would like to stay in or stream or get a dvd, what else do we have this week? 50, new to streaming is good luck to you, leo grande, the emma thompson—starrer. so a lot of people will have seen this in cinemas, but if you haven't, i think it's really well worth seeing it on the small screen at home. maybe you'd rather watch this film on your home. emma thompson hires a young sex worker, played by daryl mccormack, because she's never been satisfied in her life and she wants to have a good time, and she wants to branch out, really, and explore. and it's very much a two—hander between them, talking in the room and exploring each other — and exploring each other�*s psychology more than anything, it's not desperately racy, but it's more about empowerment. i don't think it's racy at all. i think it is absolutely about the psychology. and, in fact, by chance, the screening i went to — it was all women in the audience, and there are some laughs in it, as well. it's written by katy brand, and there are some funny moments and all the women laughed,

and it's a real talking point. i think everyone should see it, actually, as a debate aboutjust older people and sexuality — she's not even that old, for goodness' sake, but it counts as older people when it comes to the big screen, doesn't it? yeah, exactly, you know, it's a very accessible film. it's a fairly light—hearted film, but it does actually have the power to change things on the level you say, i think — it's important. it's a good watch. thank you very much, anna. we'll see you next week. good morning welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. our headlines today: after the death of archie battersbee, calls for more to be done to prevent legal battles over life support ending up in court. death toll rises in gaza after israeli air strikes — palestinian militants have fired dozens of rockets

into israel overnight. liz truss promises a cut in national insurance within weeks if she wins the conservative leadership race — but rishi sunak says the plan would do little to help most people. good morning from victoria square in birmingham. it wasn't quite a super saturday on the track for the home nations at the commonwealth games, with keeley hodgkinson among those missing out on gold. but still winning a medal on an eventful night of athletics whilst it may be cloudy and breezy at wet at times for parts of scotland over the next few days, elsewhere temperatures are set to rise and we could see a heat wave again in parts of england and wales this week. it's sunday 7th august.

our main story. 12—year—old archie battersbee has died in hospital after weeks of legal battles over his care. his mother hollie dance said she was "the proudest mum in the world". his life sustaining treatment was withdrawn yesterday. the crossbench peer, lady finlay, who's a professor of palliative care, has called for a different approach to prevent disputes over life—support, ending up in court. helena wilkinson reports. these photographs were released by archie's family in the hours before his life support was withdrawn. he died yesterday in hospital. archie passed at 12:15pm today. can ijust say, i am the proudest mum in the world, such a beautiful little boy. and he fought right until the very end, and i am so proud to be his mum. archie was found unconscious at his home in april. doctors said it was highly likely that he was brain stem dead,

no hope of recovery, and treatment, they said, should be withdrawn. archie's parents didn't agree, they wanted more time for their son, and so they fought the hospital trust through the courts. the central question judges looked at was what was in archie's best interest. they all agreed — life support should be withdrawn. barts health nhs trust said its heartfelt condolences remained with archie's family, adding... cases like archie's are extremely rare.

it's questions are raised about how such disputes can be avoided in the future. one idea would be to have an independent mediator who would speak to both the family and the hospital, in the hope any disagreement could be resolved without getting the courts involved. anything that we can do i think to try to avoid things escalating would be worth looking at. of course there always will be some cases that do end up in court, but i do think it may be helpful if we can find a way of intervening early. archie's family are now going through what is difficult to imagine. the judge said archie's parents' unconditional love and dedication for their son had been a golden thread that ran through this case. helen wilkinson, bbc news. conservative leadership frontrunner liz truss will reverse the planned increase in national insurance contributions within weeks

of becoming prime minister, according to her campaign team. arguments between ms truss and former chancellor rishi sunak over how to handle the economy and the cost of living crisis have been central to the campaign. we're joined now by our political correspondentjonathan blake. jonathan, how quickly could this be implemented? a promise is one thing, implementation is another. liz truss's campion clearly believe they can _ liz truss's campion clearly believe they can go — liz truss's campion clearly believe they can go further and faster than plant _ they can go further and faster than plant with— they can go further and faster than plant with the national insurance rise reversal. claiming it is possible _ rise reversal. claiming it is possible within weeks of her taking office _ possible within weeks of her taking office if— possible within weeks of her taking office if she wins the leadership contest — office if she wins the leadership contest. and this has been a key promise — contest. and this has been a key promise of— contest. and this has been a key promise of her campaign, fitting in with the _ promise of her campaign, fitting in with the narrative of cutting taxes to stimulate growth, and take the uk out of— to stimulate growth, and take the uk out of what _ to stimulate growth, and take the uk out of what may well be a decision by the _ out of what may well be a decision by the end — out of what may well be a decision by the end of this year. rishi sunak's— by the end of this year. rishi sunak's campion counter that by seeing _ sunak's campion counter that by seeing cutting taxes too quickly

gaza palestinian militants have reached the outskirts ofjerusalem, they were intercepted by israel's missile defence system. intense fighting has continued in gaza as well. they are islamichhad militants confront the death of a second senior commander in an israeli air strike. israel says this new military operation launched on friday codenamed breaking dawn is to counter a direct threat it says is coming from islamichhad militants. all these developments are very worrying for israelis and palestinians but at the death toll in gaza is rising, we heard what israel says it is a misfired militant rocket killed several people in a house, and the sole power plant has been closed down, so humanitarian situation is worsening. an 11—year—old girl has died

after getting into difficulty at a water park in berkshire. members of the public searched a lake at liquid leisure in datchet yesterday afternoon before she was found by emergency services. thames valley police say they are treating her death as unexplained. there is fresh hope that tens of thousands of tonnes of essential food will begin being exported from ukraine in the coming days. four ships have been given permission to take grain and sunflower oil out of two of the country's black sea ports today. millions of tonnes of grain have been stuck in ukraine since the russian invasion — causing a global shortage, which is pushing up food prices. our correspondent in kyiv, hugo bachega joins us now. these grains shipments are not only vitalfor the ukrainian economy but also the rest of the world aren't they, hugo? absolutely. we just had absolutely. wejust had confirmation at the four ships have left the ports in the south of ukraine and

going through the safe maritime corridor has been created because the black sea is infested with minds. they are expected to reach turkey where they will be inspected by a team of russian, ukrainian officials and also officials from turkey and the united nations, which broke at this deal. and a fifth vessel has been given authorisation to come to ukraine to be loaded with grain. the expectation is these exports will help ease a global food crisis and the authorities in ukraine say these are positive developments and they say this shows the deal is working and that it is safe for companies to operate in this country's ports. so they are seeing those developments today as a sign that this is still very complicated deal but it is it shows the complexities of the resumption

of the exports. the complexities of the resumption of the “ports-— the united states has accused beijing of "provocative" and "irresponsible" actions after taiwan said china rehearsed an attack on the island. china has been holding its biggest—ever show of military force around self—ruled taiwan, including the firing of ballistic missiles. it follows a trip to taiwan by senior us democrat nancy pelosi on wednesday. our china correspondent stephen mcdonelljoins us live from beijing. good morning. what happens next, how does this play out? i think the hardliners in the upper echelons of the chinese communist party in beijing would be quite happy with where nancy pelosi's visit have blessed them. these more extreme military —— have left them. these more extreme military measures have entered the realms of the acceptable and them preparing for what they see as an inevitable attack on taiwan and some point in

pitch in basingstoke, it is dry and with no rain in the forecast and blue skies overhead. this is the view in cumbria a short while ago but there are outbreaks in this cloud, put up to these weather fronts are at the top end of this high pressure which dominate this week and keeping things dry and lifting temperatures further. that weather front bringing rain and drizzle the parts of western scotland on the coast of northern ireland and the odd spot into the isle of man but by and large dry. more cloud at times in the far north of england but blue skies foremost. becoming cloudy in scotland later on in northern ireland sees more sense then developed into the afternoon. temperatures up on yesterday but turning hotter across central southern england and wales. peaking at 25-28. this southern england and wales. peaking at 25—28. this evening and overnight, we continue seeing the

rain and drizzle for the west of scotland, feeding and more rain for the western isles or the strengthening winds into the morning. dry it with clear skies partially for the rest of the country and ruud gullit parts with a slightly chilly start tomorrow. more cloud toward morning for north—east england, yorkshire and lincolnshire, that breaks up, cloudier st temperature is 15—18 c and most places seek temperatures rising the byte day, widely into the 20s in scotland and northern ireland and 30s in southern england. tuesday, rain for orkney and shetland but drier compared to monde it but windier as well. there will climb

further, high pressure in charge this week with the ground dry, we all seek temperatures climbing a bit more as we go through this week and through the week we will see heatwave conditions development across england and wales. three or more days above a certain temperature threshold and temperatures above 30 celsius in london and abergavenny and a hot by night as well. in scotland and northern ireland, the week will be much drier and even here turning to significantly warmer as well. back to you. dementia support groups can be a lifeline for those living with alzheimer's and their families. they provide regular social activities aimed at improving the lives of people with the condition. however, funding is due to end injanuary for some services in hull and there's uncertainty about how vulnerable adults in the city will be supported. shirley henry has been speaking

to some of the families affected. disco music. fun, games and lots of laughter. you see your loved one come to life. singing, loved the singing. doing all these little activities, it keep his brain going. - # one, two, three, shake your body now. for many people with dementia and their carers, this group in hull is a lifeline. # we pass the time away. it's hard, it's hard work looking after someone with dementia, and you come here and they're all friendly. somebody to talk to that's in - the same situation and understands. i can see you smiling! joanne's mum doreen made lots of friends here. she died two weeks ago. come on then, off we go again.

we couldn't have done what we have done with mum without the support because i have learnt so much, so much, learned how to handle her, how to talk to her. you sing, mum, you sing. the council's grant funding for the dementia support group, which is run by the alzheimer's society, as well funds for mind, ageuk, dovehouse hospice, and bodmin road church were due to end next tuesday, but last week the council said their contract would be extended tilljanuary. we have known for a while they were going to end on the 9th of august, so we put plans in place to cope with that and then within two weeks we then find out they're going to be extended for five months. so that is on one hand good news but on the other hand creates still uncertainty in a really vulnerable client group. there are around 3000 people in hull at the moment with dementia, and those numbers are rising, people are getting diagnosed every week.

and looking forward, what is going to be there for our service users? now a petition has been set up to save the group. everybody is so upset because there isn't anything. they would be back to being sitting at home and being isolated. 0h, i'd be really upset, i would really be upset because i look forward to coming. the council says it cares about adult services but it's facing significant challenges. people matter to me as the director of adult social care but people matter to the local authority. there will be some changes we need to make and some things we need to stop doing, but that does not mean we're not doing nothing. it is about looking at how we can make sure we are making best use of the resources we've got and we are able to provide much care and advice, and support, to people who need it. this is part of me, it's been a huge part of my mum'sjourney, myjourney, my dad'sjourney. we don't don't know what we'd've done without them, i really don't.

# what will be, will be. # que sera, sera #. this reminds me of my mum. it's just under a month until we find out the results of the conservative leadership election — with candidates liz truss and rishi sunak divided on how they'll tackle the economy and the cost of living crisis. to discuss the latest from the campaign, we'rejoined from north london by new stateman columnist martha gill and the financial times' whitehall editor seb payne, who's in devon. can you talk to us through it whether you think economics remains at the centre of this debate? very much it does and i think it'll be at the centre of that debate for the next month until we get the next

prime minister and we've seen some interventions today that liz truss has announced national insurance cut, but has been a big part of her campaign, or come within weeks and not the next financial year in april which normally when you would make changes, it takes quite some time to work through the system but the papers today saying she found a way of doing it straightaway. find papers today saying she found a way of doing it straightaway.— of doing it straightaway. and that rishi sunak _ of doing it straightaway. and that rishi sunak has _ of doing it straightaway. and that rishi sunak has done _ of doing it straightaway. and that rishi sunak has done an - of doing it straightaway. and that| rishi sunak has done an interview any sunday times where he talks about the fact they would be willing to give out hand—outs to help with energy bills this winter because we know the price cap is going to kick in in october and bills are going to increase by a massive amount i we interviewed liz truss for the financial times on saturday and she said she would not give more hand—outs and would look towards more tax cuts to help with the energy crisis so you can see the very clear dividing line. the issue for rishi sunak is one of liz truss gets in front of the conservative party members and talked about tax

cuts they love it and that is what they're voting for in this contest, what is making them feel nice and not necessarily what is going to win the next election or help the country through difficult months ahead. .,, , , ., ahead. those members might love it but the cost — ahead. those members might love it but the cost of _ ahead. those members might love it but the cost of living _ ahead. those members might love it but the cost of living crisis _ ahead. those members might love it but the cost of living crisis facing - but the cost of living crisis facing everyone, it seems just tweaking a bit of national insurance might save a couple of hundred quid on an average salary over one year but what is needed is an emergency budget and a fundamental reset of how the government would deal with a cost of living crisis?— cost of living crisis? that's exactly what _ cost of living crisis? that's exactly what gordon - cost of living crisis? that's. exactly what gordon brown, cost of living crisis? that's - exactly what gordon brown, former liberal prime minister, has called for in observer today and says whoever comes in will need to do this and liz truss has in fact talk about that, holding an emergency budget in september at the 21st to bring in tax cuts and also set out what kind of support you'll put forward for the energy crisis. the key moment will be in october when ofgem will announce where the price

cap is going and we expect it to go away through the roof and at the moment £67 a week of support from the government, if the price cap goes what we think it will that will need to beat, bills will hit £500, thatis need to beat, bills will hit £500, that is a huge increase and liz truss might say she's not going to give hand—outs and try to keep things as much as they are and offer more tax cuts, i would bet you are an awful lot of money that does not happen because the very difficult choice in experiments that will face is do you want to stick to conservative ideology on tax cuts and see lots of people starve and not heat their homes, or do you do what is necessary? i think, the actual crunch she would end up doing what is necessaryjust as rishi sunak did before and just as rishi sunak did before and just as rishi sunak did before and just as rishi sunak did during the pandemic. in some ways, to u—turn on a promise like that matters less once you've won the race. there are other elements at play, liz truss's u—turn

and rishi sunak's comments. have the even touched people —— the people who are voting? earlier this week i checked on the hustings and at 1000 tory party members were there and before the hustings even began the biggest round of applause was for an opening video that showed borisjohnson on the night of the tooth is in the 19 election, the applause went way above the other candidates —— night of the 2019 election. within that room there was a vocal group who were saying they are ready for rishi sunak holding placards and cheating truss —— quantity of that trust supporters were much greater. we've seen one

paul with liz truss 36 points ahead and another showing her 32 points ahead. she also has been the bookmaker�*s favourite. all that data would have to be badly wrong, the worst polling ever in modern history for her not to win. rishi sunak's team are very enthusiastic and say the mood on the ground is different to the polling but look at the data and what i've seen from the hustings, it looks as if liz truss is on the path to downing street and all what is going on now is not making that much difference at all. is there a danger all of this is about the westminster bubble, lots of navel—gazing going on an internal division and the rest of the country is saying, hang on, there are some really big issues to be dealing with and nothing is getting done right now. it’s and nothing is getting done right now. �* , ., , _ and nothing is getting done right now. �*, ., , _ now. it's not helped by the fact the prime minister _ now. it's not helped by the fact the prime minister and _ now. it's not helped by the fact the prime minister and the _ now. it's not helped by the fact the prime minister and the chancellor. prime minister and the chancellor seems to be on holiday at the moment

and this always happens in westminster, people go off to sun themselves just as things get very chaotic. last summer we had the withdrawal of british troops from afghanistan and dominic raab was on the beach while trying to oversee the beach while trying to oversee the withdrawal of troops from kabul. always a perilous time for politicians to go away because it gives the sense there is no hand on the tiller. with the contest that is at some of navel—gazing and focusing on the predilections of conservative members and voters but this is fundamentally about economics and the cost of living crisis and i think for the average person looking at what is going on in the country thatis at what is going on in the country that is what the race has focused on so in that sense it's a good thing, what i don't think is present is the sense of the scale of how bad the problem is going to be, the first 100 days of the next prime minister will be the most challenging since the second world war because not

only have we got the cost of the crisis, rising inflation, ongoing strikes, the energy issue, we've still got the war in ukraine, people are very divided within the conservative party. put that together and it is not an enviable task so perhaps you can forgive them slightly for not facing up to reality. those issues are going nowhere. thank you for your time. and what a great cookbook collection! now for some lovely news — a pair of osprey chicks have been born in north yorkshire for the first time in 100 yea rs. it's the result of a successful reintroduction programme at the bolton castle estate, near leyburn, where they made purpose built platforms in a bid to encourage the birds to nest. sacha dench, is founder of conservation without borders and ambassador for the un's convention on migratory species and joins us now. good morning to you. it looks glorious where you are. talk to me

because they've got rings on them this year we can follow the migration as much as possible and ideally find exactly where they are wintering. how incredible. who comes up with the names? they are not the most imaginative cut mum is called k s one, some of the other parents, cj seven, where are the names from? the names are seven, where are the names from? tue: names are purely denoted by seven, where are the names from? tue names are purely denoted by the ring distributed to whoever was doing it, they are not particular creative! some have got names, we follow the satellites of birds one is called tweed coat for example so some places named them and others don't like to. this year we'll follow them on migration. it's easier to follow a bird called tweed but anyone looking out for birds will be comfortable with those kind of numbers. you've been called the human s1 you've been called the human s! because of your paragliding, following geese. —— human s1. will

you have the fear of missing out if you have the fear of missing out if you are not following them? we will be following — you are not following them? we will be following the _ you are not following them? we will be following the migration - you are not following them? we will be following the migration this - be following the migration this year, nine of us in total, researchers and people with cameras and we will follow all the way and trying to visit people and look at the key stopover it states the use on their way and trying to look at what the to the ospreys because these juveniles that we will look out for have a pretty low survival rate, between 60% and 70% never return to breed so we will visit all the places they tend to use and follow some satellite tracks as well and see what we can do to look at the threats on the way and speak to different people and a rally lots of people to support the osprey comeback in the future and hopefully will have many more return in future. ~ will have many more return in future. . :, :, ,, :, future. we often talk about the im act of future. we often talk about the impact of things _ future. we often talk about the impact of things like _ future. we often talk about the impact of things like climate i future. we often talk about the i impact of things like climate change and the destruction of the habitat,

with climate change but how can we help adapt and i think we will find people all the way from here to ghana will be interested in helping. what a brilliant way to do it. i didn't think you are taking part in the flight because of injury but good to hear that you will be. thank you. look at that view. that is the most glorious views, so calming and peaceful and serene. i'm so jealous. what more do you need? enjoy it. stay with us, plenty more still to come on breakfast.

hello, this is breakfast, with ben thompson and nina warhurst. chetan is in birmingham, on the penultimate, and busiest, day of the commonwealth games. good morning morning, guys super busy today- — good morning morning, guys super busy today- 45 _ good morning morning, guys super busy today. 45 medals _ good morning morning, guys super busy today. 45 medals to _ good morning morning, guys super busy today. 45 medals to be i good morning morning, guys super busy today. 45 medals to be one, | good morning morning, guys superi busy today. 45 medals to be one, and thatis busy today. 45 medals to be one, and that is the busiest day of the commonwealth games, the atmosphere was electric at the alexander stadium, whether it was for their hockey, netball, the beach volleyball, the crowds have been here in huge numbers, and we are expecting hundreds later to be watching their action on the big screen. some athletes are wondering whether birmingham stands a chance of putting a bit in for the olympics

in 2036 or 2040, that is the ambition that has been felt after these commonwealth games, which is gone so successfully. we have an epic day ahead of us. looking back at last night, though... well, we were hoping for a super saturday in the athletics stadium but it failed to materialise. nick miller did win gold for england in the hammer, but other hopefuls were pushed down the medals. here's our sports correspondent natalie pirks. every sinew strained, every effort made, but gold remains elusive. keely hodgkinson won silver at the world championships and hopes were high in the 800 metres, but when kenya's mary moraa turned the burners on, there was no stopping her. bronze for scotland's laura muir and boogie wonderland for niakhate. keely hodgkinson watched super saturday at london 2012 and decided to focus on running.

she now has world silver, olympic silver and commonwealth silver. i'm not quite sure. i could do anything. it went so quick. silver again. world championship wins don't automatically guarantee commonwealth ones, as jake wightman found out. with our eyes on the world champion, the scot found himself fading in a rapid 1500 metre final and having to settle for bronze. it's going to be i australia, the gold! but for england's nick miller it was hammer time. he gave everyone an early scare with two no throws, but he made up for it to successfully defend his commonwealth title. four years ago england's zharnel hughes won the 200 metres only to be disqualified during his victory lap. this time he was denied again by trinidad and tobago'sjereem richards. smiles, though, for this silver lining. and this is what it is all about.

alastair chalmers with an unexpected 400 metres bronze, guernsey's first ever athletics commonwealth medal. hugs all round. it's called the friendly games, after all! natalie pirks, bbc news, birmingham. away from the athletics, veteran northern ireland bowlers martin mchugh and ian mcclure rolled back the years, winning gold in the men's fours — 24 years after they first took the title. this time sam barkley and adam mckeown made up the foursome. and gemma frizelle made history for wales, winning their first ever gold medal in rhythmic gymnastics, with a sensational hoop routine. so, how does all that leave the medals table? australia have pulled away

from england again at the top — england with 50 golds now. scotland have 8, wales 5. and northern ireland are on 2, but that's bound to go up later, with a host of boxers through to gold medal bouts. we have 17 home nations boxers who will battle for medals across the day. joining me now is jack laugher, winner of two gold medals and a bronze in the diving at these games. thank at these games. you for taking the time to join thank you for taking the time to join us. this has been extraordinary, just having to double check, you have seven gold medals across the commonwealth games, you defended your title in their one metre springboard, you defended your three metres synchro title, it sounds incredible, looking at those numbers, how would you sum up your

games? numbers, how would you sum up your tames? :, :, :, :, games? having nine commonwealth medals, games? having nine commonwealth medals. seven _ games? having nine commonwealth medals, seven gold _ games? having nine commonwealth medals, seven gold won _ games? having nine commonwealth medals, seven gold won bronze i games? having nine commonwealth medals, seven gold won bronze and | medals, seven gold won bronze and one silver, it's a huge achievement for me. it's been a really interesting games, and it has been a route really amazing to have such a massive home crowd as well, it is really help the athletes, and last night was just extraordinary. we had three englishmen on the podium, i was so lucky to be one of them, diving is amazing, it was a great competition, and team gb, team england, team scotland, team wales, to northern ireland, all of us are doing extraordinary things in the diving. hate doing extraordinary things in the divint. ~ :, , doing extraordinary things in the divint. . :, , doing extraordinary things in the divin. _ : ., , ,., :, doing extraordinary things in the divin. _ : ., , :, y:, diving. we are seeing some of you in action at the — diving. we are seeing some of you in action at the moment, _ diving. we are seeing some of you in action at the moment, i _ diving. we are seeing some of you in action at the moment, i know- diving. we are seeing some of you in action at the moment, i know that i action at the moment, i know that you talked previously about your gran, who lived not far from the aquatics centre. you said you wanted to win gold for her, how big an influence was key in your life? having somebody who is so close to the west midlands, my mum was raised

here, my gran and grandad lived here, my gran and grandad lived here, and it is a really special place in my heart to do that for her especially with how much support she gave me in my life, she was always such a massive inspiration in my life in such a wonderful woman. it is such a massive shame that she couldn't be here to see that, but i'm really proud of what i have done, and i know that she will be extremely proud of everything that i have achieved as well. t am extremely proud of everything that i have achieved as well.— extremely proud of everything that i have achieved as well. i am sure she would be. have achieved as well. i am sure she would be- i— have achieved as well. i am sure she would be. iwas— have achieved as well. i am sure she would be. i was to _ have achieved as well. i am sure she would be. i was to tear— have achieved as well. i am sure she would be. i was to tear yesterday i would be. i was to tear yesterday watching the three metre prelims, you spoke afterwards very honestly, saying nurse took over, you perform the wrong dive. what was that moment like for you, and how did you overcome it come back in the evening and one bronze? tt overcome it come back in the evening and one bronze?— and one bronze? it was a very interesting — and one bronze? it was a very interesting moment _ and one bronze? it was a very interesting moment for i and one bronze? it was a very interesting moment for me, l and one bronze? it was a very - interesting moment for me, something that i had not experienced before. i think the pressure of wanting to get that third gold medal, back in the gold coast i got three out of three,

and i think ijust put too much pressure on myself. in diving it is overin pressure on myself. in diving it is over in such a short time, and if you make a tiny mistake then it's all over. the crowd thought i had done a really good dive, that they didn't realise i'd done the wrong one. but a sport, sometimes go slightly wrong, i'm still learning, even though i've had all these achievements in the past, i'm really proud of how i managed to turn it around. :, : :, , : , around. that crowd is incredible. i'm sure around. that crowd is incredible. i'm sure you _ around. that crowd is incredible. i'm sure you could _ around. that crowd is incredible. i'm sure you could do _ around. that crowd is incredible. i'm sure you could do anything, l around. that crowd is incredible. i i'm sure you could do anything, and they would be cheering you on. your girlfriend is of course diving for england to winning a silver medal, how handy is it to having a partner who completely understands your life and the pressures on your shoulders, and the pressures on your shoulders, and what it takes to be an elite athlete? tt and what it takes to be an elite athlete? , q q and what it takes to be an elite athlete? , :, :, ., athlete? it is amazing having somebody — athlete? it is amazing having somebody that _ athlete? it is amazing having somebody that close - athlete? it is amazing having somebody that close in i athlete? it is amazing having somebody that close in my i athlete? it is amazing having i somebody that close in my life, sharing experiences with me, we get

you know, we got a point for it, so that's the only positive thing. tottenham are the early league leaders, thanks to a 4—1 win over southampton, eric dier was among the scorers, his first goal in three years. there were wins for celtic and rangers in the scottish premiership — rangers beat kilmarnock 2—0. but celtic were made to work for their victory at ross county, it was heading for a draw when a debut goal from moritzjenz put them ahead 6 minutes from time, and they went on to win 3—1. i nearly said goals there, i've got gold medals in my mind, so much going on. road races, the cycling, boxing as well, and we spoke about

this earlier, england's women go in the hockey final against australia. there truly is so much happening, tupac finals in the morning and evening sessions of the athletics as well. here, there will be hundreds of people behind me packing in to enjoy all the action on the big screen. studio: it's looking beautiful behind you. studio: it's looking beautiful behind you-— studio: it's looking beautiful behind ou. :, :, behind you. looking rather golden in the sunshine- _ can you believe it, we are going to be talking heatwave again, not to the exceptional heaps that we saw last time, that we will see temperatures build over the next few days, and by the time we get to mid week and beyond, we could be talking about temperatures widely in the low to mid 30s stop compared to the cooler conditions of the last few

daysin cooler conditions of the last few days in scotland and northern ireland, significantly warmer here as well. of course, with that heat comes the sunshine, with the sunshine it means no rain, and many areas desperately need it. this is a reservoir near barnsley this morning, it's looking a little bit low it has to be said. there is a bit of cloud overhead compared to what we have got further south, and further north there is a lot more cloud in particular. it is here where we have patchy rain across parts of scotland and the north of northern ireland at present. it is all due to these well in france, which are running around this area of high pressure. this also what is going to rule the roost, it will move its way eastwards as we go through this week. at the moment it is helping that westerly wind across the west of scotland, some outbreaks of rain, there will be a few spots throughout the day, that there will be dry weather too. dry to the east of scotland, and a good deal brighter with some sunshine, but cloud amounts will increase, and then diminish a bit across parts of

northern ireland. silva declined in the far of england but all of these places seeing temperature is higher than they were yesterday, getting hot to parts of central and southern england. this evening and overnight, after a warm evening it will turn quite cool after the sun has set, we could see temperatures down in rural parts to six or 7 degrees. most of you see temperatures in double figures to start your monday morning, starting dry, a bit more close to the midlands, yorkshire and lincolnshire will thin and break, cloudier st of all in the far north of scotland, rain which will become heavier time, strengthening wind, but for the vast majority a dry day a sunny day and an increasingly warm one. by this stage we are getting close to 30 celsius across the south—east corner. even though we have lost some of the rain across northern scotland comparing monday and tuesday, it could be very windy

comic approaching dealforce and tuesday, it could be very windy comic approaching deal force at times. elsewhere, lots of sunshine, temperatures continue to creep up, 30 or 31 celsius in london by the stage. that heat transferring a bit further westwards as we go through the week, as i said the high pressure is nudging its way east, may be tapping into a bit of warmth from france, but that's because the brand is so —— the ground is so dry, so heating up. widely seen temperatures in the high 20s in england and wales, namely in the low to mid 30s, that showing up and our forecast chart, wears further north it will be temperatures in the mid 20s. katia and maurice krafft loved two things — each other and volcanoes. for two decades, these french volcanologists roamed the planet, chasing eruptions and documenting

their discoveries on film and in photographs. they lost their lives whenjapan's mount unzen erupted in 1991. now, a new national geographic film, 'fire of love', opens the krafft�*s spectacular archive, allowing us to follow their adventures. let's take a look. alone they could only dream of volcanoes, together they can reach them. they met on a blind date in a cafe, from here on out, life will only be volcanoes, volcanoes, volcanoes. for katia and maurice, the unknown is not something to be feared, it is something to go towards.

in this world lived a fire. in this fire, two lovers find a home. that is a hobby, it made me nervousjust watching that. but how romantic about them doing it together. now, someone who met the kraffts is clive oppenheimer, a fellow volcanologist and film—maker. hejoins us now from cambridge. just for my clip, what a mesmerising couple? just for my clip, what a mesmerising cou-le? . , couple? absolutely. i met them when i was a couple? absolutely. i met them when i was a phd — couple? absolutely. i met them when i was a phd student _

just a quality to that celluloid film that i think is unmatched even with all the eight k we have today. it is really reminiscent of the 19705 it is really reminiscent of the 1970s space films when they imagined what outer—space might look like. that is right, i think also, their heritage, there was another volcanologist in the 1960s who was to volcanoes what jacques cousteau was to the oceans. this prime landscapes and volcanic eruptions that we don't routinely get see... they said they were absently fascinated by capturing these images, getting closer and closer, but ultimately that did cost them their lives, didn't it? tt but ultimately that did cost them their lives, didn't it?— their lives, didn't it? it did.
