practices said they operated a waiting list to become an nhs patient — and for most of those, the wait was at least a year or more. and in 12% of local authority areas in the uk, we couldn't find a single practice that would accept a child. for the latest on the growing crisis in nhs dental care — this report by our health correspondent dominic hughes. i haven't had a dentist for seven years, and my teeth have been coming out. the voices of people who desperately need help forced to take extraordinary measures. i made my own dentures at home every week. the nhs dentists who wonder how long they can carry on. it's the first time in a long, i long time in my professional career that i've ever had to turn people away. - bbc research reveals the extent to which nhs dentistry is in crisis, and the impact that's having on the lives of thousands of people. it's not like you have fillings or decay in the teeth themselves.

no, my teeth are all relatively fine. it's all this mess is what is going on below the gum line. terrible gum disease is wrecking danielle's teeth. as her gums recede, teeth that were perfectly healthy start to become wobbly. eventually, the teeth becomes so loose, danielle can just pull them out. i'm 42 years old and i can't eat and i can't drink, and i'm on painkillers every day. i'm not a 90—year—old woman. this shouldn't be happening to me now. danielle lives in bury st edmunds in suffolk, and she can't find an nhs dentist who can help her. there are no dentists. i'd love to be able to ring a dentist up and say, "my teeth are falling out, i need help." but every time i do, it's like, "sorry, we're not taking on nhs patients any more." the british dental association

described towns like bury st edmunds as "dental deserts". there are simply no dental practices in this area offering places to new nhs patients, and that is having a real and profound impact on the lives of many people. at this emergency clinic run by the university of newcastle's dental school, dozens of people experiencing excruciating tooth pain have come for help. definitely a good one for the tooth fairy, this, you know. many of them share the same story. i phoned my dentist this morning at 9.00 to get an appointment. they said i'd been de—registered and there was no emergencies left. i wasn't sort of aware they could just take you off the list. we're no longer taking nhs patients. we're only taking private patients. i can't say it was frustrating, i was absolutely foaming. i hello, boys dental surgery. but dentists themselves blame an nhs contract that dates back to 2006, which they say simply doesn't pay them properly for the work they do.

it'll makes a little noise, just like that. ian is still seeing patients, but he says many of his colleagues are being driven out of nhs dentistry. they've been trying to hang on to a broken system for such a long time. the problem is, that for most dentists, the service they want to offer their patients is not readily available if they continue and stay in the nhs. and there are warnings that time is running out. i think nhs dentistry is in significant trouble. i think it's premature to say we're witnessing the death of it, but in certain areas it's on life support. there doesn't seem to be any real appetite for the sort of big structural and investment decisions that are required to fix nhs dentistry. i suspect we will continue to see a drift to the private sector. i measure them out. caroline has been forced to take desperate measures. it's not pretty. there you go.

crowns fitted on her teeth fell out, so unable to access help, she uses modelling plastic to fashion her own dentures. squeeze it into place and hope it fits, and it looks better than nothing. that's not what i want to do, i'd rather have teeth. but it's better than going out with... it... it means i can smile at people a little bit from a distance, and not look too freaky, rather than smile at people and them go... ew! i hope. i think. there have been some small changes to the nhs contract for dentists in england and wales, and plans are being developed in northern ireland. but there's no quick fix for nhs dentistry, and thousands of people will continue to struggle to access the care they need. the health and social care minister

ago that these changes were put in place, hopefully we will see the impact of that which will allow things to be more efficient but of course you will also be training more dentists because we want to encourage more people to go into dentistry and there are more people being trained. let's talk to 0ran hodgkiss, a student in blackpool who's having trouble with his wisdom teeth. he can't access an nhs dentist near him and is flying teeth are very painful thing, tell us about the problem you're having. it tell us about the problem you're havinu. . , . tell us about the problem you're havin. _ ., , ., , having. it all started when my wisdom teeth _ having. it all started when my wisdom teeth started - having. it all started when my wisdom teeth started to - having. it all started when myj wisdom teeth started to come having. it all started when my - wisdom teeth started to come through and they are not coming through correctly, so i started looking for a dentist. i went around, inquired with about 12, 11 of which said layer not taking on any, the other side they can get me on the list but it will be 18 months at least, so it is spiralling from that to me possibly going to have to go back to

golds for england and scotland in the mixed diving and gold for england in the men's squash. but now that the games are wrapping up, what has the impact been on the city of birmingham? 0ur sports editor dan roan looks at the legacy of the games. birmingham has savoured its moment in the sun. with almost 1900 medals at stake... northern ireland. ..there has been no shortage of sporting highlights. an incredible race. the hosts embracing an event that raised spirits... yes! ..changed perceptions... standing ovation after a thrilling gold medal match. ..and was enjoyed by record numbers for a commonwealth games held in the uk. 0ne former olympic champion told me her home city had done the country proud. i hope people remember it for being the fun, friendly, warm and welcoming city, with high class performers throughout the venue. we have seen some phenomenal performances, and i think definitely it surpassed expectations. the final day of action saw an all english final in the squash.

unbelievable drama. james willstrop and declanjames winning gold in the men's doubles. scotland, meanwhile, enjoying success in the diving. james heatley and grace reid victorious in the synchronised three metre spring board final. and 17—year—old andrea spendolini—sirieix won her third medal here, with a second gold for england alongside noah williams. i am just really pleased with how we executed our dives and our synchro, and it has been really, really fun. in a packed sports calendar, a host of top stars were absent. jamaican sprint world champion shelly—ann fraser—pryce and shericka jackson among those prioritising other events. gold to duncan scott. and even some of those who enjoyed success here are concerned by the quality of competition. there is definitely room to argue it is lacking in depth, for sure. especially in, you know, looking at some of the heats. i think that has maybe always been the thing with the commonwealth games, because it is such a select few nations, you can get some

depth in some places, but in others it really disappears. but that didn't seem to matter to the crowds that flocked here, and you didn't need a ticket to feel part of it. the true legacy of birmingham 2022 will only become clear in the future of course, but already there seems little doubt that the success of this event has reinforced britain's status as a host of major events, and reminded us of the sheer appetite for such sporting occasions, as these scenes show. the games cost £800 million to stage, but those in charge here insist it was worth it. we have already got lots of legacy, whether it is new facilities, transport links, jobs, business investment, but it is also true to say we have shown the world we can host really high profile events. if there was another olympic bid from the uk, it would definitely have to come from outside london, and we, of course, now must be in pole position. and at a time when this event has struggled to find new hosts, birmingham may have helped. this games has absolutely revitalised what people think about

the commonwealth games movement. we have 72 members, and the number of people who have been talking about it it's time for them to put their hand up and bid. a lot of that has been stimulated by what they have seen and experienced while they spent their time in birmingham. featuring athletes of all ages... scotland have won the gold. ..and from all corners of the commonwealth. # i want to break free. above all, perhaps, birmingham seemed to encapsulate the fun and enjoyment that sport can provide. an event striving to remain relevant mayjust have been given fresh meaning. all that leaves then is the commonwealth games closing ceremony, which gets under way in the next 10 minutes at the alexander stadium. where 11 days ago the now famous birmingham bull made its appearance at the opening ceremony. a live audience of 30,000 is expected and they'll see a formal handover to the state of victoria in australia, which will host the 2026 commonwealth games. ublio and beverly knight are among

the performers this evening. it isa it is a party. we have gathered some of the greatest acts they spice has produced, from ub40, to some modern names, everyone in between we will sing and dance and at the end there is a big surprise for everyone which i won't tell you. i urge everyone to watch tonight because we have a big surprise at the end of the shouter finish this off true style.— finish this off true style. that's all the sport — finish this off true style. that's all the sport for _ finish this off true style. that's all the sport for now. - we'll have more for you on the bbc news channel later on. hundreds of children were strip—searched by the metropolitan police between 2018 and 2020 — some as young as 10 years old. the data comes from the children's commissioner for england. in most of the cases, the children were released without any further action. in almost a quarter of cases no appropriate adult was present. most of the children were boys

and over half of them were black. the data was collected after the strip search of a 15 year—old schoolgirl known as child 0. 0ur correspondent celestina 0lulode reports. chanting. the strip—search of child 0, a 15—year—old black schoolgirl, sparked nationwide rallies. wrongly accused of carrying cannabis, the schoolgirl was on her period when she was strip—searched by police. a safeguarding review said racism was likely to have been a factor. today's report shows child 0 is not the only child to be strip—searched without an appropriate adult present. basically, a child has to undress, and their intimate parts are visually inspected. they need an appropriate adult there. that's really intrusive, and we know from child q's experience that the aftermath of that is equally painful. today's report says that 650

children aged between 10 and 17 were strip—searched between 2018 and 2020. in almost a quarter of these cases, no appropriate adult was present. the vast majority of the searches were on boys, and 58% of all the children strip—searched were black. some people are calling for change. organisations have been trying to tell the world that it is impacting children. young people have been trying to tell the world that it's been impacting their mental health. again, i think now, moving forward, how can we advocate for young people? how can we campaign to say that we must and all strip searches? in a statement, the metropolitan police said it understood the lasting impact strip searches can have but, it added, there are occasions when such searches are very necessary to prevent harm to children who may be exploited by gangs, county lines and drug dealers.

the force says it has already made changes and introduced new measures to existing guidelines, reinforcing the need for the presence of an appropriate adult. the children's commissioner says she will write to all the police forces in england asking them for their strip—search data. celestina 0lulode, bbc news. we can speak now to neil woods. he's a former undercover police officer and now chairs leap uk, an organisation campaigning for changes to the drug laws. thank you forjoining us. in your experience how long have strip searches being going on for and how often with the used? for searches being going on for and how often with the used?— often with the used? for as long as we have had _ often with the used? for as long as we have had these _ often with the used? for as long as we have had these drug _ often with the used? for as long as we have had these drug laws - often with the used? for as long as we have had these drug laws and i we have had these drug laws and adults have been suffering the effects of these for a long time but since 1971, it is clear the searches of children are becoming much more

common. in our view children should not be strip—searched at all but i think it is important to note that there has been a lot of coverage about this issue today, we need to be clear what we are talking about here is drugs investigations, not anything else, not for knives, it is drugs. anything else, not for knives, it is dru:s. ~ ., , ., drugs. where and when in your experience _ drugs. where and when in your experience with _ drugs. where and when in your experience with these - drugs. where and when in yourj experience with these searches happen? brute experience with these searches ha en? ~ . experience with these searches ha . en? . ., ., . , experience with these searches hauen? . ., ., . , ., happen? we have heard recently that the worst possible _ happen? we have heard recently that the worst possible place, _ happen? we have heard recently that the worst possible place, where - happen? we have heard recently that the worst possible place, where a - the worst possible place, where a child should feel safe, this girl was surged at her own school and that was doubly horrific, but often someone is taken to a police station and into an empty cell and stripped there but it can be anywhere that there but it can be anywhere that the police team to be suitably private. the police team to be suitably rivate. �* ., private. and loaded with racial bias? absolutely. _

with doing, stopping people who are breaking the law in this way but you think that the issue at the heart of this is what you described at the beginning, our punitive drug laws. exactly that. this will only keep getting worse songs with pete drugs is a criminal issue rather than a healthy one. we have created this problem, where children are being exploited and we have created this problem... this should not be happening. if we end the criminalisation for drugs and seriously review our drug policy, this was not happen. if we took control of the market away from organised crime through legal regulation, there would be no violence and child exploitation in these markets. brute violence and child exploitation in these markets.— violence and child exploitation in these markets. we could talk about dru: oli these markets. we could talk about drug policy all— these markets. we could talk about drug policy all night. _ these markets. we could talk about drug policy all night. it _ these markets. we could talk about drug policy all night. it is _ these markets. we could talk about drug policy all night. it is a - these markets. we could talk about drug policy all night. it is a very - drug policy all night. it is a very controversial subject that people feel very strongly about. thank you

for talking to us. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. hello. it's been quite a hot day today and over the next few days the temperatures will continue to rise. 0ur heat wave will probably peak towards the end of the week and into the weekend. here's the satellite picture from earlier on. lots of sunshine. more of this to come over the next few days. just weak weather fronts brushing the very far northwest and west of scotland. this is the morning on tuesday, 17 in london, around 13 in liverpool. so a little bit fresher, but about 16 there in eastern parts of scotland. and of course, lots of sunshine on the way on tuesday. again, a few spots of rain for 0rkney and shetland. how hot will it get? well in the south, about 30 degrees or so. 29 there for birmingham, the mid 20s for eastern england as well as eastern scotland and also in belfast. and as i say, the temperatures will continue to rise through the week towards the end

of the week, mid 30s in some areas. arguing it would be up to his successor to make any decisions on for the help. there are growing calls for urgent support for households. yesterday the former prime minister called for an emergency budget and his afternoon nicola sturgeon wrote to the prime minister asking for talks with leaders from across the uk. the cost of living crisis is worsening by the day. we are seeing food energy, housing calls go through the roof and there is the prospect of destitution, therefore many people, more and more people are going to find it impossible to meet their bills. this is probably the worst crisis of this nature that we have known in our lifetimes. the scottish government is doing all we can. we will continue to do so. i take that responsibility very

serious, later this week i will kitten being the scottish government to examine again whether there are more steps we can take. but the fact here is that the key levers and access to resources will lie within the uk government for that whether the uk government appears in complete paralysis and that is not good enough i've to written the prime minister seeking a meeting this weekend this week of the four governments, heads of government counsel so that we can look collectively at what action needs to be taken now but also begin to put in place a clear plan for the autumn and winter ahead. this is necessary if were going to avoid a situation where literally people are unable to feed themselves and theirfamilies and unable to heat their homes. this is a crisis and it must be treated as such. senior cabinet minister, kit malthouse, rejected the idea that the government is doing nothing, and told bbc radio 4's pm programme that an emergency cobra meeting would be ”'erformative".

meeting would be "performative". we are all ready and have been for some months now been doing work in this area. in fact, i had a meeting only a few days ago with the secretary of state to look at some of the plans that have been put in place for energy resilience. similarly with the health service, i had a meeting last week with the secretary of health to have a look at their plans looking forward to what might be a challending winter for the health service was up while there's a temptation to have a meeting at a point in time and i am having regular coordinated meetings across all departments, having a specific cobra, some kind of performative political act doesn't seem necessarily that useful. tony danker is the director—general of the confederation of british industry which represents national and regional companies — he says there are steps borisjohnson can take, without calling an emergency budget. we can't sit around for the next five weeks without taking some action. here are the four things i

think he can do. on august the 26th offjim are going to tell us all how much more energy bills are good to be on the 1st of october. i think the prime minister should get rishi sunak and liz truss together so the three of them can give a comment response, a total pledge about supporting people through the crisis that comes straightaway, otherwise working at ten days with people not knowing whether or not the governments going to support. doesn't need to be a full budget but it does need to be a pledge that they will be a pledge do help forthcoming the second thing i think the prime minister and the chess i can do is ask the planning for an emergency budget. it's clear we should have went, we shouldn't have to wait for september the 5th and in order to have that budget. the third thing that is really important is that the cabinet secretary start preparing now, detailed announcements of any new prime minister can make on september the 5th for how we are going to help people. if that means that the civil service needs to start working with

both camps, as they do during a general election, let's begin the process now because there will be no time to waste. it will be three weeks on september the 5th until the energy prices go up and so we need to be moving fast so that decisions can be taken ta ken straightaway. let's speak to our political correspondent david wallace lockhart. it some time until we know who the new prime minister is going to be and yet borisjohnson doesn't seem keen to intervene. tbs, and yet borisjohnson doesn't seem keen to intervene. tbs. bit and yet boris johnson doesn't seem keen to intervene.— keen to intervene. a bit of a strante keen to intervene. a bit of a strange position _ keen to intervene. a bit of a strange position we - keen to intervene. a bit of a strange position we are - keen to intervene. a bit of a - strange position we are currently and what we know and boris johnson only has a few weeks left in office. traditionally an outgoing prime minister we keep things ticking along and not make big changes. of course we face quite a difficult situation when it comes to the cost of living. though number ten are sticking to that traditional view they say it is not the place of borisjohnson to be making major physical interventions, as they put it, essentially, that means a further announcement you'd assume

about how for energy bills. at the moment that's for his successor, he does not want to tie their hands. we heard the confederation of british industry, want to have his things and like to see happen is getting rishi sunak and liz truss, the two potential successors into number ten to discuss potential plans to help with the cost of living. the problem potentially with that idea is that two of them have very different ideas about how to approach this. we heard from liz truss at the weekend saying she wants to cut peoples taxes, she said she didn't want to give people hand—outs. that was seized upon by rishi sunak supporters who pointed out that if you are a lawyer at the end there is a limit to how much tax cuts can sometimes put money back inyourpocket. same position potentially if you are a pensioner, for example. though we should say that liz truss his allies have been clarifying that they believe she would have an emergency budget if she becomes prime minister and the

could be further help as part of the officer rishi sunak seeming to suggest that he would be more open to the sort of help we've already seen, cash and also for people to help with their bills as of october, everyone in the country will start getting £400 of the bills, more vulnerable people will get more than that. we do know that borisjohnson is going to meet with the chancellor this week to talk about that planned i think the problem for many people like we are hearing from today, nicholas sturgeon, former prime minister at the weekend is that is to help with price rises we already know about, where shortly going to hear about other price rises on top of that the question is, what help will be given there. we have had a policy idea from the lib dems, they are talking about expanding the idea of a windfall tax on energy companies and is actually using the money that raises to cancel out the next set of rises expected to come

through a rise in the energy price. david, thank you very much. a child has died at following an explosion in south london. three other people were injured in the blast. a correspondent reports. the explosion just after seven was so powerful it reduced it to rubble. glowing windows of neighbouring houses and force for two homes to be evacuated as a precaution. i force for two homes to be evacuated as a precaution-— as a precaution. i was in bed and i heard this — as a precaution. i was in bed and i heard this explosion. _ as a precaution. i was in bed and i heard this explosion. i _ as a precaution. i was in bed and i| heard this explosion. i didn't think anything of it for the other neighbours could feel. my neighbour said she felt it. well, i didn't. so sad. it could be anyone. i'm great, i'm grieved. within three minutes the — i'm great, i'm grieved. within three minutes the emergency _ i'm great, i'm grieved. within three minutes the emergency services - i'm great, i'm grieved. within three i minutes the emergency services were at the scene using specialist rex skewed cruise deserts of the to sadly a child was pronounced dead at

the former manchester united footballer ryan giggs has appeared in court accused of assaulting and controlling his former girlfriend. he's pleaded not guilty to all the charges. 0ur sports correspondent laura scott reports. the most decorated player in manchester united's history, ryan giggs, arriving at court in manchester this morning flanked by lawyers. inside, thejury sworn in to try him on three counts of domestic abuse — which he denies — were told to ignore his profile as one of the most glittering footballers of his generation. they were also asked if they had any personal connection to a number of people who may feature in the trial, including sir alex ferguson and gary neville. opening the prosecution's case, peter wright qc said that while giggs had shown abundant skills on the pitch, for which he was idolized, off it there was an uglier, more sinister side to his character. the court heard that giggs had subjected his ex—girlfriend, kate greville, to a litany of physical and psychological abuse,

which was systematic and at times violent, that over the three year period between 2017—2020, he was said to be controlling and coercive, and deliberately sought to gaslight her into doubting herself. this culminated, the prosecution said, in an incident on the 1st of november 2020, when he head butted miss greville, causing her a swollen and bloodied lip, and elbowed her younger sister. the defence counsel, chris daw qc, said giggs never once used unlawful violence, and that accusations of assault were based on distortion, exaggeration and lies. the trial is expected to continue for the next two weeks. laura scott, bbc news, manchester. in the past hour, the united states has announced a—billion dollars in fresh security assistance for ukraine. the package includes more high mobility rocket systems that have helped ukrainian forces attack russian troops behind front lines. here's that announcement being made. two day president biden directed the

18th drawdown of an additional $1 billion in weapons and equipment from the department of defence inventories. this is the largest cyclical drawdown of us arms and equipment utilising this authority to date. the package provides a significant amount of additional ammunition, weapons and equipment, the types of which the ukrainian people are using so effectively to defend their country. people are using so effectively to defend their country. the head of the united nations has said any attack on ukraine's biggest nuclear power station would be a �*suicidal thing'. ukraine and russia have accused each other of shelling the plant in zaporizhia at the weekend. un secretary general antonio guterres says inspectors must be allowed in to check it's safe. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega reports from kyiv. a nuclear power plant surrounded by war. these russian pictures said to show the latest damage from shelling, but who's to blame isn't clear. ukraine says two workers were injured, three radiation

monitors were damaged and a reactor had to be disconnected from the system. tensions that have concerned the world. today a strong warning from the un chief. any attack to a nuclear plant is a suicidal thing, and i hope that those attacks will end. president zelensky was adamant that the russians were behind the attacks. translation: there is no such nation in the world that can feel safe - when a terrorist state fires at a nuclear plant. god forbid something irreparable happens and no one will stop the wind that will carry the radioactive contamination. ukraine says the plant is still safe and operating normally — for now. calls are growing for russia to allow international monitors to visit the site, but there's no sign of this happening any time soon. the head of ukraine's nuclear power company says russia has turned

the complex into a military base so they can fire on ukrainian positions knowing that the enemy will not fire back. this is a ukrainian plant. these are ukrainian people so we are not going to kill our people, our staff and demolish our infrastructure. so they're using it like a shield? like a shield, yes. elsewhere, there was positive news today. this is the first ship loaded with ukrainian grain to arrive at its final destination in turkey, and this morning two more ships left ukraine and a third port was opened for exports. signs that an ambitious multinational deal is going to plan. a rare diplomatic breakthrough in this conflict. hugo bachega, bbc news, kyiv. breaking news, we are hearing that 0livia breaking news, we are hearing that olivia newton breaking news, we are hearing that 0livia newtonjohn has died at her home in southern california today at the age of 73. her husband posted a

a ceasefire agreement to end three days of fighting in gaza between israel and palestinian militants appears to be largely holding. aid deliveries have also resumed. these pictures show fuel lorries crossing the border. hospitals had warned that supplies were dwindling. 0ur middle east correspondent, yollande knell, sent us this update from jeruselum. this ceasefire, brokered by egypt, appears to be sticking. in gaza, palestinians are returning to the homes and clearing up the debris left by three days of intense israeli bombardment. in israel, which has seen hundreds of rockets fired at it, people in the south in particular, restrictions are being eased there, they are able to return to their ordinary lives. israel says that it launched this operation against islamichhad to counter a direct threat from the group, and it considers that it has dealt a serious blow to the organisation after killing two of its senior commanders. islamichhad disputes that.

its leader, who is currently in iran, says that this was a victory for his organisation, which managed to target israeli cities as far from gaza as tel aviv and jerusalem. of course, israel's iron dome defence system helped prevent israeli casualties. and another important point is that israel has now reopened its crossings with the gaza strip. this after warnings of a potential humanitarian crisis in the past couple of days. food, aid and fuel have now been able to enter gaza and its sole power plant has been turned back on. these were the scenes in islington this morning after a water main burst, creating two sinkholes. two adults and two children were rescued by firefighters and about 50 properties were damaged. thames water has apologised to customers for the disruption. tom edwards reports from holloway. 7am this morning and this is

what greeted residents in islington. a burst water main meant major roads, properties and businesses were soon underwater. the fire brigade deployed boats as a precaution. at the moment it feels like i need to rebuild the whole thing. charlie's cafe survived the pandemic, now it is destroyed and will need rebuilding. i stood by the door with my colleagues to try to keep the water away and pushed it away with brooms, but it was an endless battle. it kept flooding in until we were stranded. next door, helena woke up to next to her street next to water. these are her pictures. the firemen were going up and down to see if people could need help. they could not get sandbags because how do you transport a wheelbarrow through that? it was mental waking up to it. thames water says a 36 inch pipe burst and the water

was turned offjust after 11. the local pub managed to escape. all i see was just water coming down the road, literally, and it was like a foot and a half deep. at the moment it is unclear why the mains burst. but locals say this is not the first time. we have had an awful lot of main bursts around this area and it has caused a lot of problems for a lot of people and on this occasion major flooding. the pattern is thames water simply do not invest enough in the infrastructure. there are questions to be answered on thames water's part. this is not the first time we have seen a substantial level of flooding in islington. we saw a similar situation in upper street a few years ago. thames water has apologised and says its engineers were quickly on the scene. now the clean—up begins and the roads will be closed for some time.

there are calls for more hosepipe bans to be brought in across britain as another heatwave is forecast this week. the uk health security agency has issued a heat—health alert across all regions of england from midday tomorrow until saturday evening. yesterday, the environment secretary urged water companies to follow the hosepipe bans that already in placed on the isle of man, isle of wight, and in kent and sussex. 0ur correspondent, ellie price, has been monitoring the situation from bewl water in kent. it is dry and neutral very hot. we are running at about 64% of its usual capacity, avoiding water for southern companies. it is those customers in kent and sussex will have that hosepipe ban from friday. yesterday we heard from the environment secretary who said more

hose pipe bands. the question is, will they? many of them broadly speaking have no plans because largely they draw most of their water from ground water reserves and, broadly speaking, those reserves are holding up. they will look with interest to see what the rainfall will be like in autumn and winter this year to see if there will be a problem next year. demand on reservoirs and water reserves is likely to go up in the coming weeks because there is likely to be yet more hot weather and we will see prolonged temperatures of 30 degrees. a spoiler for the weather segment, there is no forecast of rain either. the owner of a boutique in darlington says she is "over the moon" after winning a trademark battle with the clothing retailer zara. the high street fashion giant argued there was a "high degree of visual and oral similarities" between the two brands — but a tribunal found the link was "too insubstantial".
