there was then, naturally, huge interest in her next musical. xanadu gave her a hit single. the film, it was the inspiration for a new awards ceremony, the golden raspberries. # let's get physical, physical... and then there was physical. she was terrified it would destroy her girl next door image. instead, it became an anthem for the sweatband wearing hoards of the aerobic 805. of course, many tv stations would cut away before this final shot. after a break for marriage and children, her career was never quite the same, but 30 years on, olivia newton—john was still performing. it was a reminder of how it all began. # it's not for you # sandy, you must start anew...

like she could be their friend. australians are reminiscing over many memorable moments, one of them was here in 1980 when he sang to the queen here at the sydney opera house. and when she performed in the sydney olympics in 2000. australians are bidding farewell to a national sweetheart. olivia newton—john was also known for her philanthropy, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, the same year her dad died of cancer, and for decades, she has raised awareness and raised significant funds for cancer research. flags are flying at half mast outside the cancer centre that has no name on it in melbourne, and many people have said how her courage helped them. she will be remembered as a musical icon but here in australia, she will also be remembered as a symbol of kindness and hope. remembered as a symbol of kindness and hoe. ,, ., ., ., remembered as a symbol of kindness and hoe. ,, . . . . ~' i., , and hope. shaimaa, thank you very much, shy — and hope. shaimaa, thank you very much, shy mcmeel_ and hope. shaimaa, thank you very much, shy mcmeel in _ and hope. shaimaa, thank you very

jump a lot of acting, so it was a big jump because we knew she could do the real conservative sandy, but we weren't sure about the wild, crazy version of the character. so that was something we were a little worried that she might not be able to do but she sure proved us wrong. she was concerned about playing a slightly older sandy, she was 28 at the time. talk to me about her involvement in the film and particularly that pairing with john travolta. ~ g ., ., , ., travolta. well, john really laughter and so did i- _ travolta. well, john really laughter and so did i. she _ travolta. well, john really laughter and so did i. she was _ travolta. well, john really laughter and so did i. she was nervous - and so did i. she was nervous because had done a picture in england called tomorrow which didn't do well and she didn't want to bring down her singing career with another movie. she was very nervous and requested a screen test. sojohn and i decided to do the driving is seen as the screen test, and we had our

authorities. mrtrump searched for, seemingly, by the authorities. mr trump clearly believes that this is overkill, he says he has been cooperating with the relevant departments in washington, the government agencies. so the question remains, why was it necessary to have a search warrant to get whatever the authorities were looking for at mar—a—lago? donald trump believes this is prosecutorial misconduct, this is from a high level in washington targeting him to make it more difficult for him to stand for election again for the white house in 2024.- stand for election again for the white house in 2024. thank you, peter. thousands of teenagers in scotland are waking up to their scottish higher results after sitting their first full set of exams since 2019. the exam regulator says they've taken a more generous approach to grade boundaries this year to reflect the disruption caused by the pandemic. our reporterjames shaw is in edinburgh this morning. good morning. i imagine it may be a

morning. yes, fingers crossed when their results, thank you, james. the backlog of patients who've been waiting more than two years for treatment has been "virtually eliminated" according to nhs england. officials say it's a major milestone in post—pandemic recovery. here's our health reporter katharine da costa. in spring 2020, the nhs cancelled thousands of routine operations to urgently free up hospital beds in the face of the covid crisis. two years on, the impact is still being felt, with a record 6.6 million patients on waiting lists. to tackle the backlog, the nhs set itself ambitious targets. the first, to eliminate two—year waits by the end ofjuly. there were more than 22,500 people who had been waiting two years or more for a routine operation at the start of the year. that's been reduced to less than 3000, although most of those patients don't want to travel to be seen faster or are complex cases that require specialist treatment. that leaves less than 200 patients.

it is once again i think that incredible dedication, hard work, that has seen staff in the nhs now treat 800,000 patients with covid in hospitals over the past couple of years, rolling out as we know the biggest and fastest vaccination programme in our history and they have applied exactly the same sort of determination to this challenge. patients are given the option to be treated more quickly at hospitals in different parts of country. here at the sulis hospital in bath, staff have been carrying out high numbers of hip and knee operations. we have taken patients from seven local hospitals and we have managed to get through 1100 extra cases on top of what was a pretty busy hospital already since september. and that's been through the dedication of the staff, really, working hard, thinking of smarter ways to work. nhs england says it has performed well, despite the busiest ever

summer for emergency services and an upturn in covid cases. but health experts say there is still a way to go. this is a good achievement, it's something they should be pleased with, but it is a little bit like getting to base camp. there is quite a mountain to climb in terms of the people who have been waiting over a year, which is probably in the region of 400,000, people who have been waiting over 78 weeks, which is about 60,000. so these are much bigger numbers than this figure for people waiting two years. elsewhere in the uk, work continued to try to reduce work continues to try to reduce the longest waiting times. in england, attention now terms to eliminating 18 turns to eliminating 18 waits by next april, and one year waits by 2025. katharine da costa, bbc news. we have already been talking this week about not very much rain around

and the fact that it is going to get warmer this week for lots of people, carol can take us through it, warmer for everyone or maybe not? more or less, heatwave conditions as we go through the rest of this week. temperatures are continuing to soar for some, temperatures are continuing to soar forsome, up temperatures are continuing to soar for some, up to 36 degrees, for some it will be mid to high 20s. wherever you are at the moment temperatures are rising. some mist this morning across parts of east anglia which will lift quite quickly, mild start apart from parts of wales and north yorkshire where it is cooler and a weather front draped across north and west scotland reducing drizzle, pushing north through the day. breezy here but for many it will brighten up and to give you an idea of the temperatures today, 24 in aberdeen to 30, 31 in west london and surrey. this evening and overnight we will see some patchy

meta— form, a dry night for lots of us, drizzle coming out of this cloud where it will be breezy in north scotland. it will be a mild night. any patchy mist that forms overnight will quite quickly dispersed, and then another dry day for most of us. you can see already this weather front starting to come in later in the day to the outer hebrides. it is going to be gusty as well in the north and west of scotland, and eventually we will see some rain. by tomorrow, these are our temperature values. 25 in aberdeen, going up a bit, 32 around birmingham. as we head into the latter part of the week, as i mentioned earlier, it is not out the realms of possibility that some of us could hit 36 degrees. this is set to continue into the weekend so temperatures will not get as high as the last heatwave but it will be more prolonged and on sunday if you are

crying out for rain, we could see some but next week, it's looking more unsettled and a bit cooler. it's interesting to see that the midlands and south wales, that is the hottest part of the country, not just a north—south thing? the hottest part of the country, not just a north-south thing?— just a north-south thing? that's riaht, just a north-south thing? that's right. and _ just a north-south thing? that's right. and the — just a north-south thing? that's right, and the other _ just a north-south thing? that's right, and the other thing - just a north-south thing? that's right, and the other thing is - just a north-south thing? that's right, and the other thing is you j right, and the other thing is you will get the sea breeze develop sew along the coast it will always be that little bit cooler. if you don't like it so what, head towards the coast. in line to the temperatures will be higher. especially at the end of the week when we pull in more of a south—easterly, easterly breeze from the near continent, dragging in hot air as well.— hot air as well. thank you, more from you — hot air as well. thank you, more from you later. _ hot air as well. thank you, more from you later. the _ hot air as well. thank you, more from you later. the lack- hot air as well. thank you, more from you later. the lack of- hot air as well. thank you, more from you later. the lack of rain l hot air as well. thank you, more | from you later. the lack of rain is a real problem and we know the hosepipe bans have already come in many parts of the country. at least 20 children have died in mental health units run by the nhs and private providers in the uk since 2019 according to bbc research. child and adolescent mental health

units were established to help patients recover through specialist care but some parents say there's a culture of life—threatening self—harm. adam eley has this report. # and all those things i didn't say... this was chelsea mooney, happy at home. as herfather steve remembers her. chelsea was special, she loved singing, dancing and she just wanted to do everything for everybody. she was known as mother hen. chelsea was 15 when her mental health became significantly worse. with an eating disorder, it's a very complex sort of thing. and i think it got hold of chelsea and she went to hospital. the hospital was a camhs unit for children and adolescents. while there, steve said she picked up dangerous new habits from fellow patients. chelsea only went in there doing very superficial acts of self—harm, and when she got there, it was becoming life threatening self—harm. at one stage, chelsea self—harmed to a dangerous extent. 250 times in 18 months.

then in april last year, steve received news of a self—harm incident from which she did not recover. managed to get through to icu, intensive care, and speak to a nurse there, and said, is there any way she's going to survive? she said, there is going to be a zero chance of survival. an inquest found there had been an unjustifiable delay to the routine checks staff were meant to carry out on chelsea every ten minutes. it took me a while to go into the hospital. to actually step in that door and see, see chelsea lay there with all the machines making the noises. it was, it was hard. the provider, cygnet health care, said an inspection this year "acknowledged we followed best practice with

to safeguarding". the bbc has found at least 20 children and young people have died in camhs hospital since 2019. zeinab was a camhs in patient for four years and says in some units, there was insufficient therapy on other. therapy on offer. patient environments are built to be reactive to when self—harm happens, not proactive in stopping it from happening in the first place. as well as those who died in inpatient care, bbc news has found that since 2019, a further 26 patients have died within a year of leaving camhs units. zeinab says she was discharged before she was ready. so i would tell people that i was ok, that i wasn't going to self—harm, i wasn't going to end my life. and then as soon as i got in the community, that's exactly what i would do. experts point to a staffing shortage. there has been chronic underinvestment over the years in face of unprecedented demand. there are some pockets of very good practice happening up and down the country but of course there is an awful lot of variation in practice. the government said it was working to recruit an extra 27,000 mental health professionals by 2024. for steve, lessons must be learned.

seeing her there after she was meant to go in these hospitals to be able to come back out and hopefully lead a normal life, we shouldn't be going there and seeing my daughter laid on a hospital bed. adam eley, bbc news. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline. amazon staff are threatening further strike action after a string of walk outs over pay. nina's here to explain what's going on. it's becoming an increasingly familiar message. workers saying their pay isn't meeting inflation and they want to do something about it. we've had action from rail and airline workers. the latest? amazon workers in essex, bristol, kent and coventry.

there is an interesting distinction here though. these workers don't officially have a union so have organised the protests themselves. why? well, they're being offered a pay rise of between 35p and 50p an hour, about three to 5%. and that would take wages to betweeen £10.50 and £11.45 an hour. that's a pound or more above the highest living wage. but some staff say that's not enough. more than 1000 employees across different sites took action last week, walking out or sitting in, or working more slowly. to put it in context that's 1,000 out of 70,000 staff. what they want is a £2 per hour pay rise, which they say better reflects rising costs. and they want that deal by tomorrow. amazon's revenues topped £23 billion last year, they told us staff pay is competitive, and that employees are offered

a benefits package worth thousands of pounds. you might be wondering what it means for you and whether those deliveries you rely on will be affected. they might be if further action is taken. and it doesn't look like they're set to back down. we spoke to one worker who wanted to remain anonymous, who said the offer was disgusting and laughable. and they are now being backed by a union, which says they're entitled to a better deal. amazon shouldn't be looking to penalise workers, they should be looking at the message and seeing that these workers are desperate. this isn't the act of some militant people, this is in desperation — workers that cannot afford to live on the measly pay increase that they are being offered. they cannot afford to live on what they are on currently and this just doesn't make a difference at all. this raises all sorts of issues. how easy is it for workers who aren't officially unionised to mobilise against their employer? what does that mean for businesses,

and for services we rely on? i think more widely, we know that after the pandemic some workers from the public sector decided to move to businesses like amazon because the pay was slightly higher, now they are saying that isn't enough so workers across the board saying it is not keeping up with inflation and they had enough.— they had enough. thank you very much. they had enough. thank you very much- more _ they had enough. thank you very much. more on _ they had enough. thank you very much. more on that _ they had enough. thank you very much. more on that throughout i they had enough. thank you very i much. more on that throughout the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. an investigation is under way into what caused an explosion at a house in south london, killing a four—year—old girl. three other people were taken to hospital after the incident yesterday on galpin's road in thornton heath. some residents said they had reported a strong smell of gas in recent weeks. more than 100 people have been evacuated from the area and are now

in temporary accommodation. avanti west coast, which runs trains out of euston station, will introduce a reduced timetable from this sunday due to staff shortages. the train operator said most drivers have declared themselves unavailable for overtime and it accused them of taking unofficial strike action. union aslef, which represents drivers, insists that's not the case and says the company does not employ enough staff. an acclaimed chef who spent decades as an addict has been explaining how his passion forfood helped him turn his life around. chris denney took drugs for 24 years. after suffering a breakdown, he managed to get clean and is now channelling his energy into his new restaurant and bar in notting hill. i thought it was the industry that made me do what i did but since going into recovery and becoming fitter in the head and physically,

found solace in the job itself. maybe it is a maturity thing but yes, it is good. travel now and this is how tfl services are looking at the moment. delays on the circle line that's also affecting the district line which has no service between high street kensington and edgware road. and there's no service on hammersmith and city line between paddington and king's cross. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. another hot spell of weather with us this week across the capital. the blue sky and sunshine was captured by our weather watchers yesterday and is set to continue through the rest of this week. of course, it is looking bone dry. high pressure dominates. not a drop of rain in the forecast until, perhaps, we get to the second half of the weekend and into the start of next week, when there may well be some heavy, thundery downpours, but that is still rather uncertain. today, it is a dry, mild start to the morning, temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. lots of sunshine throughout the morning, lasting into the afternoon.

could be a bit of fairweather cloud here and there that will melt away again towards the end of the day. and there is still a very light north—easterly wind blowing. a couple of degrees cooler out towards eastern areas of the capital. the highest temperatures further west. western home counties, we could see 29 or even 30 celsius. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. so clear skies, light winds, temperatures dropping generally to the mid—teens in celsius. the nights do start to get warmer and the day hotter. more places, i think, will see 30—31 celsius on wednesday. those temperatures continue to climb into the low to mid—30s, potentially, by the time we get to friday and saturday. that's it for the moment. but there's lots more on our website and social media. now it's back to sally and ben on breakfast. i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. coming up on breakfast.

we'll be remembering grease star dame olivia newtonjohn, who's died aged 73 from cancer. we'll hear tributes throughout the programme and will be speaking to singer peter andre at eight o'clock. as the commonwealth games comes to a close, olympic diver tom daley has travelled to some of the member state's most homophobic countries for a new documentary. he'll join us just after 8.30am. and as �*80s star matt goss is revealed as one of the latest celebrities to join this year's strictly come dancing line—up — he'll be in the studio later to chat all things ballroom and new music. the liberal democrats are calling for october's expected

energy price—cap rise to be scrapped, with the cost covered by a windfall tax on energy company profits. the price cap, which is the maximum amount suppliers can charge customers in england, scotland and wales, is expected to hit more than £3000. the party's leader — sir ed davey — joins us. good morning. what exactly are you proposing? the good morning. what exactly are you ro osina ? :, , , good morning. what exactly are you --roosin~ ? :, , , ., proposing? the government seems to have no plan — proposing? the government seems to have no plan to _ proposing? the government seems to have no plan to help— proposing? the government seems to have no plan to help millions - proposing? the government seems to have no plan to help millions of - have no plan to help millions of families and pensioners that will be hit by the massive rise in energy bills. we have been listening to the tory candidates for prime minister and they have come up with no plan and they have come up with no plan and so the liberal democrats are putting up their plan and we say the rise in the energy price cap due in october, which could be £1400, should be cancelled. and the government should pick up the bill and it should make the oil and gas companies pay with a one—off tax on huge profits they are making, which

seems a fair approach. it will prevent a catastrophe. i think we are looking at a social crisis the light we have not seen in my lifetime with millions going hungry and cold this winter. the government needs to act and we are putting forward a costed plan. the government _ forward a costed plan. the government says - forward a costed plan. the government says it - forward a costed plan. the government says it is - forward a costed plan. the government says it is doing that and it has imposed a windfall tax brought in early this year which will give people £400 off their bills at a time when people most need it. :, _ bills at a time when people most need it. :, ., , :, bills at a time when people most needit. :, ., , :, ., need it. you say that is not enough? their plan. — need it. you say that is not enough? their plan, which _ need it. you say that is not enough? their plan, which was _ need it. you say that is not enough? their plan, which was timid, - need it. you say that is not enough? their plan, which was timid, was - need it. you say that is not enough? their plan, which was timid, was for| their plan, which was timid, was for the previous rise in the energy price cap of £700 and it was not good enough then. now we are seeing the prospect of another rise on top of the 700 of 1400. it is clear the government's previous plan is totally inadequate for the catastrophe facing many families and pensioners this october. so we have

a boulder plan. we saw during covid the government having to act because there was a crisis hitting millions. an international crisis hitting people. i think we are facing the same crisis and it could be worse for many people in terms of them going hungry and cold and in civilised society we cannot allow this social crisis that will push the economy into recession so the government has to act and liberal democrats are saying this is a plan thatis democrats are saying this is a plan that is costed, get on with it. what that is costed, get on with it. what we saw during _ that is costed, get on with it. what we saw during the _ that is costed, get on with it. what we saw during the pandemic is hell for those who needed it most, based on your income. it looked at what personal situation you are in. what you are proposing with energy benefits everyone, those who can most afford it and those who can least. surely the money should be targeted at those who can least afford the rise. fiur targeted at those who can least afford the rise.—

targeted at those who can least afford the rise. our plan helps the oorest b afford the rise. our plan helps the poorest by most. _ afford the rise. our plan helps the poorest by most. the _ afford the rise. our plan helps the poorest by most. the 10% - afford the rise. our plan helps the poorest by most. the 10% poorest afford the rise. our plan helps the - poorest by most. the 10% poorest pay three times as much on energy bills as a proportion of income than the richest 10%. as a proportion of income than the richest10%. our as a proportion of income than the richest 10%. our plan make sure the poorest benefit the most. plus we have some other targeted measures, warm home discount rising, taking money off the bills of the poorest, winter fuel allowance for pensioners. we have a targeted approach but the overall approach of cancelling the rise in the energy price cap will absolutely help the poorest more than the riches. clearly everyone would get the same amount of money off their bill if you call for the 1400 increase to be increased, whether you are a millionaire or on lower income. but it is worth millionaire or on lower income. emit it is worth more if you are poor. £500 to someone who has little is worth more than someone with a huge amount and when you add in the fact that we want to see the warm home

discount go up, winter fuel allowance, an insulation programme to help the poorest so they do not have to pay so much, universal credit going up, we have a targeted approach on top. this is a fair approach. it means we will avoid the social catastrophe that if the government does not come up with something soon i fear will hit so many across the country. fair only in that everybody _ many across the country. fair only in that everybody gets _ many across the country. fair only in that everybody gets the - many across the country. fair only in that everybody gets the same. l in that everybody gets the same. what i am getting at is surely it is better to give those who can least afford it more money off on those who can most afford it get less of a discount. :, who can most afford it get less of a discount. . :, :, , ., :, , :, discount. part of our plan does do that. discount. part of our plan does do that- warm _ discount. part of our plan does do that. warm home _ discount. part of our plan does do that. warm home discount - discount. part of our plan does do - that. warm home discount increasing helps the poorest as does increasing universal credit and winter fuel allowance. there is no doubt we have allowance. there is no doubt we have a targeted proposal. but the danger of going down the government approach is that it excludes millions of people because they help does not get to them. there are many

people on middle incomes who will be hit by the latest rise. i think that has not got through to people and certainly not to the conservatives. people who would normally regard themselves as being able to manage quite ok, but they have seen a £700 rise in the price cap from april and on top of that they will see a rise of 1400. people aren't quite decent salaries will suffer a body blow. it is absolutely right we have a bold measure the liberal democrats propose. measure the liberal democrats --roose. ~ :, measure the liberal democrats --roose. ~ . measure the liberal democrats --roose. ., ., measure the liberal democrats n-roose. . . ., measure the liberal democrats ”rouse. :, :, :, , propose. what you are calling for is a one-off cancellation _ propose. what you are calling for is a one-off cancellation of _ propose. what you are calling for is a one-off cancellation of the - propose. what you are calling for is a one-off cancellation of the price | a one—off cancellation of the price cap increase. £36 million paid for by a windfall tax on energy companies. what if prices keep rising? d0 companies. what if prices keep risinu? ,, companies. what if prices keep risinu? , ., companies. what if prices keep risinu? , . , ., rising? do you repeat the strategy? if rices rising? do you repeat the strategy? if prices rise — rising? do you repeat the strategy? if prices rise oil _ rising? do you repeat the strategy? if prices rise oil and _ rising? do you repeat the strategy? if prices rise oil and gas _ rising? do you repeat the strategy? if prices rise oil and gas companies| if prices rise oil and gas companies will keep making super profits they never expected to make. so there will be a source of income open to

the government if energy prices do not fall. our costed plan is for 12 months. we have room to see what happens. let us hope the war in ukraine comes to an end. mostly, of course, so people are not suffering in ukraine and the dreadful attack from president putin. but it will therefore help the rest of the world weather in energy prices or grain prices falling. we do not know what will happen there and you would be mad to predict it, right? but we have a plan for the next year. regrettably, the conservative candidates to be prime minister, liz truss and rishi sunak, seem to have no plan at all. truss and rishi sunak, seem to have no plan at all-— no plan at all. thank you for being with us this _ no plan at all. thank you for being with us this morning. _ the commonwealth games were brought

to a close last night, in spectacularfashion. i wonder how many people are up and about in birmingham. good morning. good morning. the bull is staying, even though the closing ceremony is over. a spectacular night. we thought it had finished and then up pops ozzy osbourne who has not been seen performing macro while but he was back to best. he was saying i love you, birmingham. birmingham for ever. and the1.3 you, birmingham. birmingham for ever. and the 1.3 million people who came here over the last days would agree. so much to take away from birmingham. more medals handed out to women than men. more integrated para sports. record commonwealth games medal hauls for northern ireland and england. the baton now handed onto to victoria another key moment in the closing ceremony

as stuart pollit reports. # come on, eileen. # well, i swear, at this moment #. a stadium dominated by athletes now home to a few runners. wolverhampton band dexy�*s midnight runners performing their most famous song at the start of the closing ceremony. from come on, eileen to come in, eilish. gold medal—winning scottish athlete eilish mccolgan leading the flag—bearers from the 70—plus nations. golden gymnast jake jarman last in with the english flag. # red, red wine. the party then became a midlands musical medley. ub40, goldie and beverley knight among the acts on stage. # i won't let go, i won't let go of your love. - # hey.

birmingham's best known tv exportjoined in. tommy shelby and the rest of the peaky blinders arriving at the alexander stadium. every brummie, every volunteer, every single commonwealth athlete is helping to write a new chapter in our history. we will never forget your warmth and your welcome. from me to all of you, thank you. then it was time to fold up the flag, pass the baton on to the australian state of victoria, which will host the games in 2026. but first a message from the earl of wessex. you have inspired us and, hopefully, future generations. you have also demonstrated what unites us. thank you, birmingham and the west midlands. cheering.

from prince edward to the prince of darkness. # finished with my woman cos - she couldn't help me with my mind. # people think i'm insane - because i am frowning all the time. ozzy osbourne and his band black sabbath sending birmingham 2022 out with a bang. thank you, good night, _ you are the best, god bless you all. birmingham for ever! stuart pollitt, bbc news. what a moment to end with. there was spot on the final day. diver andrea spendolini—sirieix has certainly enjoyed her first date with the commonwealth games. the 17—year—old won her third medal — and her second gold — with noah williams in

the mixed synchronised 10m platform event. another english pair took silver and they all celebrated exactly as you'd expect. it has been incredible. we came in to have fun and we did. it was a personal best for us. it has been really fun. earlier, james heatly and grace reid took the mixed synchronised 3m springboard title to give scotland their 13th gold of the games. there was also a very emotional bronze in the table tennis, as 16—year—old anna hursey and charlotte carey of wales won their medal match against singapore. you may remember hursey from the gold coast four years ago, when she became the youngest welsh competitor at a commonwealth games at the age of 11. england's last gold of the games came

in the squash men's doubles. james willstrop and declanjames beat countrymen daryl selby and adrian waller in the final. willstrop and james are the reigning world champions and this betters the bronze they won at the 2018 games. so where does that leave us, on the final medals table? england's record haul leaves them second, ten golds behind australia. scotland are sixth. wales eighth. and northern ireland are in 11th place, but they've beaten their previous best by quite some way. and by quite some way. two medals for guernsey. and two medals for guernsey. one of the other great things about the games is the volunteers with a welcome wherever you have gone. they got a big thank you at the ceremony last night and we will hopefully speak to a few in an hour's time. studio: is so instrumental. i look

forward to that later. yesterday on breakfast we were with former rugby union player ed slater, as he set off on his epic 350—mile bike ride. ed and his team—mates are raising money and awareness for motor neurone disease, after he became the latest athlete to announce he's been diagnosed with the condition. john maguire is with the team this morning as they take on the second leg of the challenge. how is everybody doing on day two? i think they are doing all right. just talking tojim hamilton who told me he drank seven litres of water yesterday, so it was the heat. a lot of these guys are not keen cyclists normally, rugby players built for power and strength, not necessarily the endurance. think of the difference between the typical shape of a rugby player and a tour de france winner. not a lot in common. a big and long day today but

yesterday was amazing partly because they came back here to welford road in leicester, a former club for many, especially ed, and they had a special reception when they arrived. cheering. after ten very hot hours and 90 miles in the saddle, ed slater and the team arrived at welford road in leicester, a former home ground for him and a few of the riders. all i know is that my quads are tighter than charlie sharples at the bar! but, beyond that, just a relief. relief. i had no training. a lot of us didn't, to be honest with you. in fact, probably everyone bar the two professionals. so to make it and survive gives me confidence for tomorrow. big cheer. yesterday started with an enthusiastic sendoff from the gloucester faithful. and not to be outdone, tigers fans, friends and family turned out to show their support at the end

of day one. among them was kevin sinfield, a member of leicester's coaching staff. he knows all about pushing your body to the limit. his seven marathons in seven days challenge raised money and awareness for the motor neurone disease association in honour of his friend and former team—mate rob burrow. when i speak to people around here about ed's time at the club. they always speak in glowing terms about him, so it's great he's got support. i think it's absolutely wonderful what him and the family have been able to do already in such a short space of time. i think it shows what rugby is about, both codes. we have seen it now with rob burrow and doddie weir. we now have another champion, as well, who is banging the drum. and for old friends, a chance to catch up. england scrum—half ben youngs and ed won the league together here in 2013. ben knows personally how devastating this disease can be. my brother—in—law, he passed away with mnd in 2021. it's an awful, awful disease. it's a prison sentence within your own body and the sooner

we find more information about it and a cure, the betterfor everyone. because it'sjust not right, and ed is another example of a fit young man that is going to have this almighty battle against mnd. ed is still learning to live with the disease, still coming to terms with his diagnosis. but already inspiring so many, including former team—mates. it's just wonderful. it is what rugby is, it is the culture rugby has and, hopefully, that will continue going forward. people supporting him up and down the country, people donating to what is an amazing, amazing calls. an amazing, amazing cause. for those riding to support ed, this proved to be a baptism of fire. the boys did really well. it's obviously quite warm. but considering we had some guys who had onlyjust been on a road bike for the first time this week, we sort of got our rhythm quite quickly. yeah, we had a little bit of a dip at four o'clock this afternoon when everyone was feeling it a bit.

friends and foes on the pitch, all are in awe of this effort. it's always been pretty close with rob being a rugby league player, doddie, rugby union. but i think with ed being the age he is and being the player he is, and the person he is, more than most, you know, to see the guys turn out and put their bodies through what they are putting it through for him, it is a real wake—up call for the sport and for mnd in particular. we have got to raise as much awareness as we can to start getting answers and results. i remember taking the photo and you were like, no, you don't want me, i take a horrible photo. among the fans, we met tricia. a lifelong tigers supporter who believes ed's efforts will make a real difference. i had a school friend back when i was a teenager, her stepdad died of mnd. and, 30 years ago, nobody had heard of mnd. and up until 2—3 years ago, still nobody really knew much about it. and then obviously through rob burrow, doddie weir and now ed,

we are getting the voice out there. more people can hear about it, raise funds that they need. so, today, they go again. a much longer distance but another chance to dig deep, another chance to raise money, another chance to get their vital message across. john maguire, bbc news, leicester. you will be thrilled to know we almost had an unfortunate incident withjim hamilton's bellybutton out. he has covered it up now so we have saved that from everybody�*s breakfast! how are we doing? jim, backin breakfast! how are we doing? jim, back in leicester where you played, what was it like arriving here? it was amazing because it was a tough day, thursday, the first 25 miles of excitement and then we were struggling pushing through and we get here watching team—mates, fans, and the great kevin sinfield who has done so much for rob burrow. that is

what it is all about. when we turned up what it is all about. when we turned up it was an emotional few minutes. amazing. have you had chance to reflect and relax, get some energy back into your body. what reflect and relax, get some energy back into your body.— reflect and relax, get some energy back into your body. what will today be like? it back into your body. what will today be like? it is — back into your body. what will today be like? it is going _ back into your body. what will today be like? it is going to _ back into your body. what will today be like? it is going to be _ back into your body. what will today be like? it is going to be tough. - be like? it is going to be tough. yesterday— be like? it is going to be tough. yesterday we did not know what to expect, _ yesterday we did not know what to expect, certainly i didn't. it was difficult — expect, certainly i didn't. it was difficult but i enjoyed it thoroughly. the group is amazing and we drove _ thoroughly. the group is amazing and we drove each other through. we have another— we drove each other through. we have another 40 _ we drove each other through. we have another 40 miles on top of what we did yesterday, 130. a little bit of fear factor, did yesterday, 130. a little bit of fearfactor, but did yesterday, 130. a little bit of fear factor, but we will grind throuqh _ fear factor, but we will grind through. just put your head down and keep turning your legs and we will -et keep turning your legs and we will get there — keep turning your legs and we will get there. not keep turning your legs and we will aet there. :, , ., . get there. not sure what time. we will be there _ get there. not sure what time. we will be there when _ get there. not sure what time. we will be there when you _ get there. not sure what time. we will be there when you get - get there. not sure what time. we will be there when you get there. l will be there when you get there. the message is getting through about why you are doing this and hopefully the money is coming in. jim mentioned _ the money is coming in. jim mentioned kevin _ the money is coming in. jim mentioned kevin sinfield and what he has done _ mentioned kevin sinfield and what he has done to raise awareness for rob burrow _ has done to raise awareness for rob burrow for— has done to raise awareness for rob burrow. for kevin to come and speak

avanti west coast, which runs trains out of euston station, will introduce a reduced timetable from this sunday due to staff shortages. the train operator said most drivers have declared themselves unavailable for overtime and accused them of taking "unofficial strike action". union aslef which represents drivers insists that's not the case and says the company does not employ enough staff. an acclaimed chef who spent decades as an addict has been explaining how his passion forfood helped him turn his life around. chris denney took drugs for 24 years. after suffering a breakdown, he managed to get clean and is now channelling his energy into his new restaurant and bar in notting hill. i thought it was the industry that made me do what i did, for wrong. but since going into recovery and becoming fitter in the head and physically, ifound solace in the job itself.

so maybe it was a maturity thing, but, yeah, it's going good. travel now and this is how tfl services are looking at the moment. there are severe delays on the cirle line due to an earlier signal failure at edgware road. they have never a chilly gone to minor delays. —— now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. another hot spell of weather with us this week across the capital. the blue sky and sunshine was captured by our weather watchers yesterday and is set to continue through the rest of this week. of course, it is looking bone dry. high pressure dominates. not a drop of rain in the forecast until, perhaps, we get to the second half of the weekend and into the start of next week, when there may well be some heavy, thundery downpours, but that is still rather uncertain. today, it is a dry, mild start to the morning, temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. lots of sunshine throughout the morning, lasting into the afternoon.

today, it is a dry, mild start to the morning, temperatures could be a bit of fairweather cloud here and there that will melt away again towards the end of the day. and there is still a very light north—easterly wind blowing. a couple of degrees cooler out towards eastern areas of the capital. the highest temperatures further west. western home counties, we could see 29 or even 30 celsius. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. so clear skies, light winds, temperatures dropping generally to the mid—teens in celsius. the nights do start to get warmer and the day hotter. more places, i think, will see 30—31 celsius on wednesday. those temperatures continue to climb into the low to mid—30s, potentially, by the time we get to friday and saturday. that's it for the moment. but there's lots more on our website and social media. now it's back to sally and ben on breakfast. i'm back in around half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. our headlines today. # you're the one that i want # ooh, ooh, ooh, honey... the star of grease, dame olivia newton—john, one of the most successful music artists of all time, has died at the age of 73. her co—star and friend john travolta leads the tributes saying her "impact was incredible" former us president donald trump's home in florida is raided by the fbi. his son says it's in connection with the handling of white house documents. good morning from birmingham where the commonwealth games went out with a bang. a sky full of fireworks, and ozzy osborne and black sabbath making a surprise appearance to close the show. and bros star matt goss joins us on the sofa to talk about his latest

music and becoming the latest celeb to join strictly. good morning. the dry weather is set to continue until at least the end of saturday, and the temperatures are going to be rising in the next few days with most of us having heatwave conditions. i will explain that throughout the rest of the programme. it's tuesday 9th august. our main story. tributes are being paid from around the world to dame olivia newton—john, who's died of cancer, aged 73. the singer and actress was best known for playing sandy in grease, one of the most successful film musicals ever made. her co—starjohn travolta has described her impact as "incredible". our arts correspondent, david sillito, takes a look back at her career. # summer loving, had me a blast # summer loving, happened so fast...

olivia newton—john. for anyone of a certain generation, she was and always will be sandy from grease. # cute as can be... and the person that knew from the beginning she was the one was her co—star, john travolta. # summer heat, boy and girl meet... now 40 years on, paying tribute, saying... olivia newton—john was born in britain, grew up in australia. she began singing as a teenager and she was a successful country artist. # all the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row # followed hand in hand... blonde, wholesome, family friendly easy listening. no wonder eurovision came knocking.

# you better shape up # cos i need a man... but grease changed everything. # and my heart is set on you... it was huge, six hit singles, millions of records sold. and the premiere, a near riot ensued. this was a new level of fame. come on, back off! marker. there was then, naturally, huge interest in her next musical. xanadu gave her a hit single. the film, it was the inspiration for a new awards ceremony, the golden raspberries. # let's get physical, physical... and then there was physical. she was terrified it would destroy her girl next door image. instead, it became an anthem for the sweatband—wearing hoards of the aerobic 805. of course, many tv stations would cut away before this final shot. after a break for marriage

and children, her career was never quite the same, but 30 years on, olivia newton—john was still performing. it was a reminder of how it all began. # it's not for you # sandy, you must start anew... like a burst of australian sun, blonde, wholesome and pure. if anyone was going to be sandy, it was olivia newton—john. come on, sandy! # goodbye to sandra dee. let's take a look at some of the tributes on social media.

told cbs that the secret service guarding the ex—president was notified shortly before the warrant was served around 10am, and that agents protecting mr trump helped the fbi investigators. several boxes were taken away, the source said, adding that no doors were kicked down, and that the raid had concluded by the late afternoon. donald trump was reportedly in new york at the time where he issued a statement condemning what he called an "unannounced raid" as "dark times for our nation" and "the weaponisation of the justice system" to prevent him from running for the white house again.

president trump was one of the biggest critics of hillary clinton when she used her personal e—mail as the secretary of state and, potentially, some people think she violated some of our laws related to only using government official e—mails, where those documents become records, and here we have president trump having done something potentially much more egregious. as attention turns to which classified documents it's suspected may have been removed from the white house, for others, the legal process itself is under scrutiny. this search is potentially politically significant. as a criminal law that bars removal of official records can result in disqualifying someone from holding federal office. mark lobel, bbc news.

thousands of teenagers in scotland are waking up to their scottish higher results after sitting their first full set of exams since 2019. the exam regulator says they've taken a more generous approach to grade boundaries this year to reflect the disruption caused by the pandemic. our reporterjames shaw is in edinburgh this morning. james, i notice you have some students with you this morning, how are they getting on, have they got their results?— their results? literally minutes auo, their results? literally minutes ago. these _ their results? literally minutes ago. these pupils _ their results? literally minutes ago, these pupils here - their results? literally minutes ago, these pupils here at - their results? literally minutes ago, these pupils here at this | their results? literally minutes i ago, these pupils here at this high school discovered that their results, there was a flurry of excitement as the news passed around these groups of friends. let's talk to adam first of all and his mum janet. how did you get on? i got three highers. _ janet. how did you get on? i got three highers, and _ janet. how did you get on? i got three highers, and a _ janet. how did you get on? i got three highers, and a b - janet. how did you get on? i got three highers, and a b and a c. song quite— three highers, and a b and a c. song quite happy— three highers, and a b and a c. song quite happy with my results. was

than 3000, although most of those patients don't want to travel to be seen faster or are complex cases that require specialist treatment. that leaves less than 200 patients. it is once again i think that incredible dedication, hard work, that has seen staff in the nhs now treat 800,000 patients with covid in hospitals over the past couple of years, rolling out as we know the biggest and fastest vaccination programme in our history and they have applied exactly the same sort of determination to this challenge. patients are given the option to be treated more quickly at hospitals in different parts of country. here at the sulis hospital in bath, staff have been carrying out high numbers of hip and knee operations. we have taken patients from seven local hospitals and we have managed to get through 1100 extra cases on top of what was a pretty busy hospital already since september.

and that's been through the dedication of the staff, really, working hard, thinking of smarter ways to work. nhs england says it has performed well, despite the busiest ever summer for emergency services and an upturn in covid cases. but health experts say there is still a way to go. this is a good achievement, it's something they should be pleased with, but it is a little bit like getting to base camp. there is quite a mountain to climb in terms of the people who have been waiting over a year, which is probably in the region of 400,000, people who have been waiting over 78 weeks, which is about 60,000. so these are much bigger numbers than this figure for people waiting two years. elsewhere in the uk, work continues to try to reduce the longest waiting times. in england, attention now turns to eliminating 18 waits by next april,

and one year waits by 2025. katharine da costa, bbc news. heat—health alerts come into effect at midday today across england. temperatures in some areas are forecast to reach 36 celsius later this week. carol can tell us what we can expect. the big 36 tells us most of what we need to know, yes?— need to know, yes? yes, that's riuht. need to know, yes? yes, that's right- good _ need to know, yes? yes, that's right. good morning. _ need to know, yes? yes, that's right. good morning. parts- need to know, yes? yes, that's right. good morning. parts of. right. good morning. parts of southern england will likely hit 36 degrees. for many of us, where you are today are going to go up temperature wise and we will be in a heatwave for the end of the week. we have a lot of dry weather, the mrs lifting from earlier and we have a lot of cloud from the north and west of scotland. some is thick enough for the odds spots of drizzle but it

should be breezy as well. 24 in aberdeen, 25 in hull, 31 in parts of the south—east. the patchiness will return tonight but there will be clear skies, the cloud and breezy conditions across the north west of scotland and for most of the night it is going to be a mild night. temperatures in towns and cities in double figures. tomorrow rather like this morning any patchy mist will form and left quite rapidly, then dry weather, more sunshine across north and west scotland and northern ireland. when the fence. to come in and introduce thick cloud —— weather fronts will start to come in. on sunday we will see some rain.

i know you will let us know what's will happen. as we've just been hearing, parts of the uk are set for another heatwave this week bringing extremely dry conditions. but, with the growing threat of wildfires, the fire service says it's struggling to cope with staffing shortages. zoe conway reports. imagine waking up to this. that is horrendous. that roof was solid five minutes ago. oh, my god. this fire broke out in the village of wilcove in cornwall in the early hours of sunday morning. had to get the dogs out. ran out in my nightie, nothing else on. banged on my neighbour's door. the villagers got out unharmed. but it was not the only place to be confronted by a terrifying inferno that day. this was feltham, west london on sunday afternoon. how quick it happened was scary. came down the road, one minute it was just at the end, and within ten minutes it ripped right the way through the back gardens. it is the speed of these fires

taking people by surprise. wennington in essex on the 19th ofjuly on the hottest day ever recorded in britain. it took 100 firefighters nine hours to get the fire under control. 17 houses were destroyed. one of the firefighters there that day says they were under resourced. there should have been more resources there but they weren't because they were on other incidents. i really felt for the residents, because we were sometimes watching homes just burn because of the gusts, which goes against everything we train for and stand for. but they knew we were doing all we could. we certainly could not have worked any harder. so, yeah, a frustration, really. you want to do more. even physically, we didn't have enough equipment. fire crews have been stretched across the country. on the same day as the wennington

fire, a blaze ripped through a street in barnsley in south yorkshire. as temperatures rise again this week, the fire brigades union is warning they are running out of crew. the home office says it is committed to ensuring fire services have the resources they need and that funding has increased over the last five years from just over £1.2 billion to almost 1.4 billion. zoe conway, bbc news. simonjones is at a farm in kent this morning. good morning, simon. one of the situation where you are? iloathed good morning, simon. one of the situation where you are? what barley remains in this _ situation where you are? what barley remains in this field _ situation where you are? what barley remains in this field is _ situation where you are? what barley remains in this field is pretty - remains in this field is pretty scorched by the sun but the rest of it was scorched by a huge fire, pretty much none of it remains. in total they think they lost £35,000 worth of barley when the fire took

with me, alison earle. an investigation is under way into what caused an explosion at a house in south london, killing a four—year—old girl. three other people were taken to hospital after the incident yesterday on galpin's road in thornton heath. some residents said they'd reported a strong smell of gas in recent weeks. more than 100 people have been evacuated from the area and are now in temporary accommodation. ava nti west coast, which runs trains out of euston station, will introduce a reduced timetable from this sunday due to staff shortages. the train operator said most drivers have declared themselves unavailable for overtime and accused them of taking "unofficial strike action". union aslef, which represents drivers, insists that's not the case and says the company does not employ enough staff. an acclaimed chef who spent decades as an addict has been explaining how his passion forfood helped him turn his life around. chris denney took drugs for 24 years. after suffering a breakdown, he managed to get clean and is now

channelling his energy into his new restaurant and bar in notting hill. i thought it was the industry that made me do what i did, for wrong. but since going into recovery and becoming fitter in the head and physically, ifound solace in the job itself. so maybe it was a maturity thing, but, yeah, it's going good. this is how tfl services are looking at the moment. there are severe delays on the hammersmith and city line due to an earlier signal failure at edgware road. london buses are accepting tickets. the issue is also affecting the circle line, which has minor delays. there are minor delays on thejubilee line due to train cancellations. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. another hot spell of weather with us this week across the capital. the blue sky and sunshine was captured by our weather watchers yesterday and is set to continue through the rest of this week.

of course, it is looking bone dry. high pressure dominates. not a drop of rain in the forecast until, perhaps, we get to the second half of the weekend and into the start of next week, when there may well be some heavy, thundery downpours, but that is still rather uncertain. today, it is a dry, mild start to the morning, temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. lots of sunshine throughout the morning, lasting into the afternoon. could be a bit of fairweather cloud here and there that will melt away again towards the end of the day. and there is still a very light north—easterly wind blowing. a couple of degrees cooler out towards eastern areas of the capital. the highest temperatures further west. western home counties, we could see 29 or even 30 celsius. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. so clear skies, light winds, temperatures dropping generally to the mid—teens in celsius. the nights do start to get warmer and the day hotter. more places, i think, will see 30—31 celsius on wednesday. those temperatures continue to climb into the low to mid—30s, potentially, by the time we get to friday and saturday.

that's it for the moment. but there's lots more on our website and social media. now it's back to sally and ben on breakfast. i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. here on breakfast we've been following the story of seven—year—old tony hudgell, who raised more than £1 million for the hospital that saved his life , after being abused by his birth parents as a baby. he was given a points of light award for his fundraising efforts, but lockdown meant the ceremony was held online. today, a celebration will be held and tony and his mum paula are heading to downing street to meet the prime minister. they both join us now. morning, how are you feeling about today? morning, how are you feeling about toda ? : ,

then will be served better, but the tougher sentences. then will be served better, but the toughersentences. if then will be served better, but the tougher sentences. if it had been now, they would have been inside almost ten years because you have to serve two thirds of the sentence and the tariff has moved up to 14 years. so it really does highlight how helpful our campaigning was. i know ton is helpful our campaigning was. i know tony is probably _ helpful our campaigning was. i know tony is probably a — helpful our campaigning was. i know tony is probably a little _ helpful our campaigning was. i know tony is probably a little bit - helpful our campaigning was. i know tony is probably a little bit weary i tony is probably a little bit weary at the moment. he will be more excited when he gets to downing street later. oh, yes. what is next for tony and for you? i street later. oh, yes. what is next for tony and for you?— for tony and for you? i want to... what did i — for tony and for you? i want to... what did | tell — for tony and for you? i want to... what did i tell you _ for tony and for you? i want to... what did i tell you but _ for tony and for you? i want to... what did i tell you but you - for tony and for you? i want to... what did i tell you but you said i for tony and for you? i want to... i what did i tell you but you said no? i what did i tell you but you said no? i wanted _ what did i tell you but you said no? i wanted to— what did i tell you but you said no? i wanted to run the desert. i am not sure where that has come from. it seems quite a massive challenge. we

something we have seen over the years. at least half a dozen over the last 15—20 years. thankfully there have not been to many serious injuries from that but there have been and i think we can stop that with having instead of a metal handrail but a perspex screen that extends higher so that rather than the athlete going over and landing in the crowd, they would basically slide back down onto the track. we need to learn from these incidents. track cycle is quite safe but these things happen every now and again and it is trying to minimise the effects and injuries cause. the effects and in'uries cause. the nonesses— effects and injuries cause. the lionesses put _ effects and injuries cause. the lionesses put women's sport on the map in a huge way and amazing role models. talk about the importance of that. and quite what a difference that. and quite what a difference that will make. i do that. and quite what a difference that will make.— that will make. i do not think we can overstate — that will make. i do not think we can overstate how—

but the mist should lift. but most will be dry and sunny and warm. 30, 31 as we push down to the west of london. overnight, we will see more mist form with dry weather, clear skies. in the north and west of scotland a weather front will produce cloud with drizzle and wheezy conditions here with an overnight low between ii—is. not particularly cold. over the next days high pressure is in charge. it is effectively blocking weather fronts from moving too far south which is why we have the cloud and rain in the north of scotland. it is also trapping the heat in and as we moved to the end of the week we import hotair moved to the end of the week we import hot airfrom moved to the end of the week we import hot air from the moved to the end of the week we import hot airfrom the near continent on a south—easterly, easterly breeze, and it is then we

are likely to see temperatures in parts of southern england get to 36 degrees. we do not expect a0 as we had in the previous heatwave. as we head through wednesday, a lot of dry weather, sunshine, more so in northern and western parts of scotland until later when a new weather front comes in which will introduce cloud and later some rain. and gusty winds. here the temperature is 16—17, 25 in aberdeen, up to 32 in cardiff and birmingham. these temperatures remain as we head through the next days. in scotland and northern ireland, low to mid 20s. in england wales, up to the mid—30s. if you live close to the north sea coastline we will have cloud lapping on shore and burning back through the day. you can see the difference

between the driest and wettest places. these figures are since the beginning ofjuly. 251 millimetres herein north—west scotland. but barely a trace down here. and that is not likely to change in the south. but some rain potentially on sunday but more likely next week when low pressure takes charge. it turns unsettled and cools down and more will see rain. studio: i do not think anyone has been more excited about the possibility of rain in august. normally we want sunshine and now we want the rain. we are always happy. and carol is definitely always happy and particularly happy with our next guest. we are talking about music. throughout his music career,

�*80s legend matt goss has taken the pop world by storm. now he's ready to show the strictly ballroom his moves. he's been announced as the latest star tojoin the line—up, which comes at a busy time, as he heads back to the uk to release new music, after spending more than a decade in las vegas. let's have a listen to his new single. # mm—mm. # put your hands in the air if you're feeling like you're ready. # ready for a brand—new life. # a brand—new life. # baby, ijust think it's time. # you know, you know it's right. # put your hands in the air. # if you're feeling like you're ready. # ready for a brand—new life. # baby, ijust think it's time. # you know, you know, you know it's right. matt joins us now.

# you better shape up # cos i need a man... but grease changed everything. # and my heart is set on you... it was huge, six hit singles, millions of records sold. and the premiere, a near riot ensued. this was a new level of fame. come on, back off! marker. there was then, naturally, huge interest in her next musical. xanadu gave her a hit single. the film, it was the inspiration for a new awards ceremony, the golden raspberries. # let's get physical, physical... and then there was physical. she was terrified it would destroy her girl next door image. instead, it became an anthem for the sweatband—wearing hoards of the aerobic 80s. of course, many tv stations would cut away before this final shot. after a break for marriage and children, her career

was never quite the same, but 30 years on, olivia newton—john was still performing. it was a reminder of how it all began. # it's not for you # sandy, you must start anew... like a burst of australian sun, blonde, wholesome and pure. if anyone was going to be sandy, it was olivia newton—john. come on, sandy! # goodbye to sandra dee. that was our arts correspondent david sillito, remembering the life of dame olivia newton—john who has died aged 73 from cancer.

come on different tv shows and talent shows. even after that super stardom in hollywood, the stellar career in show business, the thing that changed everything of course, the movie, grease, she still maintained that approachability, that girl next door air about her. people in sydney have been saying, you feel that she could be your friend, you could hang out and have a coffee with her. she was known for many memorable moments here in australia, one happened here at the sydney opera house in 1980 where she sang in front of the queen. but hill —— she also performed at the sydney olympics in 2000. she was then to head the empathy, she was —— she was known for her philanthropy, she raised a significant amounts for cancer research, flags are flying at

literally was so incredibly kind. it was that warmth that she portrayed all the time, sometimes you see that warmth in people but you don't come on screen, you don't necessarily see it in real life but she really was just like that. all my experiences were like that with her. so i'm just so sad, i am so sad to hear, it actually really shocked me last night. we were watching tv last night. we were watching tv last night and my daughter says, what's wrong? and i said, iwas night and my daughter says, what's wrong? and i said, i was totally stunned. as many people were. because she was one of those people you just don't expect to hear that she is not here, you know? . $5 she is not here, you know? . as someone _ she is not here, you know? . as someone who has worked in the same industry as her for many years, we hear a lot this morning about her kindness and her warmth, but i'm just curious to know professionally, how much of an icon has she been? l

how much of an icon has she been? i think in this, from my experience of seeing things on tv or seeing things on film or on theatre stage, she was one of those people that always presented a certain type of aura that not many people can give out. and they know that we talk about warmth and kindness being separate to her professional career but actually, it looked like it was all merged as one. that's the impression i got. you were never disappointed when you met her, always smiling and so lovely. i remember one day i was in a studio in america with a guy called steve and she was good friends with him and he came down to the session and she just came down and talked for ages. just incredibly, yeah, it's a shock to everyone. even though we knew that she was battling for so long, her strength was so evident, i think it

just came as a shock to everyone. one of the incredible things that she achieved was raising fortunes for charity. what will her legacy be, for charity. what will her legacy he, do you think, peter? j for charity. what will her legacy be, do you think, peter? i think her lea will be, do you think, peter? i think her legacy will be _ be, do you think, peter? i think her legacy will be exactly _ be, do you think, peter? i think her legacy will be exactly what - be, do you think, peter? i think her legacy will be exactly what you i be, do you think, peter? i think her legacy will be exactly what you just| legacy will be exactly what you just said. someone that gave a lot, somebody that was an advocate, i mean, again, the spina bifida concert, we saw it first hand how much she gave and how much effort you put in that they and what she was doing leading up to that. i think her legacy willjust be kind, a special person, someone that lit up a special person, someone that lit up everywhere she went. l do a special person, someone that lit up everywhere she went. i do feel, watchin: up everywhere she went. i do feel, watching all— up everywhere she went. i do feel, watching all of _ up everywhere she went. i do feel, watching all of the _ up everywhere she went. i do feel, watching all of the footage - up everywhere she went. i do feel, watching all of the footage this i watching all of the footage this morning, we all feel like we knew her a little bit and he was part of a lot of our childhoods. —— she was part of our childhoods. particularly back home in australia, can you put into words how loved she has been

olivia newton-john. thank you so much. the fbi has raided the home of former us president, donald trump, allegedly in connection with removing classified documents from the white house. in a statement, mr trump said the raid was not "necessary or appropriate" and claimed that agents had broken into his safe. mark lobel reports. a spectacular fbi search on former president donald trump's florida home to reportedly seize official papers he's handled. so, that means the most famous conservative politician in the united states, a former president, likely to be now a candidate for president, is being investigated seriously for a crime. that is unprecedented. an unnamed law enforcement official told cbs that the secret service guarding the ex—president was notified shortly before the warrant was served around 10am, and that agents protecting mr trump helped the fbi investigators.

several boxes were taken away, the source said, adding that no doors were kicked down, and that the raid had concluded by the late afternoon. donald trump was reportedly in new york at the time where he issued a statement condemning what he called an "unannounced raid" as "dark times for our nation" and "the weaponisation of the justice system" to prevent him from running for the white house again. he said... ..he added. president trump was one of the biggest critics of hillary clinton when she used her personal e—mail as the secretary

of state and, potentially, some people think she violated some of our laws related to only using government official e—mails, where those documents become records, and here we have president trump having done something potentially much more egregious. as attention turns to which classified documents it's suspected may have been removed from the white house, for others, the legal process itself is under scrutiny. this search is potentially politically significant. as a criminal law that bars removal of official records can result in disqualifying someone from holding federal office. mark lobel, bbc news. just approaching 18 minutes past eight. heat—health alerts come into effect at midday today across england. the second time they have done so

after the record—breaking heatwave a little earlier in the month. temperatures in some areas are forecast to reach 36 celsius later this week. carol can tell us what we can expect. good morning. good morning to you both, some part of the south of england towards the end of the week could reach 35 or 36 celsius. temperatures generally across the board are rising and fought many of us it will be heatwave conditions we are looking at. if that is too much for you and you want something cooler, on sunday it looks like some of us could see some rain but next week low pressure takes over the weather so it is going to cool down with the of rain. this morning low cloud has drifted in land were dismissed which will burn away, we are looking at dry weather, sunny conditions today, dryer across the north—west of scotland. some cloud will be they can afford for the odd spot of drizzle. breezy here as

well. temperatures 2a in aberdeen, 29 in birmingham, 31 possibly in southern england. the night once again we will see some patchy list reform, dry weather and clear skies, thick enough to produce the output of drizzle. not a particularly cold night, for some, a mild of drizzle. not a particularly cold night, forsome, a mild night. any patchy mist will disperse overnight allowing more dry weather, sunshine across northern and western scotland before the next weather front arrives introducing thicker cloud and some rain. here there will be gusty winds but temperatures continuing to rise, 25 in belfast, 32 in birmingham and cardiff. thank you, talk to you again. at least 20 children have died in mental health units run by the nhs and private providers in the uk since 2019

according to bbc research. child and adolescent mental health units were established to help patients recover through specialist care but some parents say there's a culture of life—threatening self—harm. adam eley has this report. # and all those things i didn't say... this was chelsea mooney, happy at home. as herfather steve remembers her. chelsea was special, she loved singing, dancing and she just wanted to do everything for everybody. she was known as mother hen. chelsea was 15 when her mental health became significantly worse. with an eating disorder, it's a very complex sort of thing. and i think it got hold of chelsea and she went to hospital. the hospital was a camhs unit for children and adolescents. while there, steve said she picked up dangerous new habits from fellow patients. chelsea only went in there doing very superficial acts of self—harm, and when she got there, it was becoming life threatening self—harm.

at one stage, chelsea self—harmed to a dangerous extent. 250 times in 18 months. then in april last year, steve received news of a self—harm incident from which she did not recover. managed to get through to icu, intensive care, and speak to a nurse there, and said, is there any way she's going to survive? she said, there is going to be a zero chance of survival. an inquest found there had been an unjustifiable delay to the routine checks staff were meant to carry out on chelsea every ten minutes. it took me a while to go into the hospital. to actually step in that door and see, see chelsea lay there with all the machines making the noises. it was, it was hard. the provider, cygnet health care, said an inspection this year

"acknowledged we followed best practice with respect to safeguarding". the bbc has found at least 20 children and young people have died in camhs hospitals since 2019. zeinab was a camhs inpatient for four years and says in some units, there was insufficient therapy on offer. patient environments are built to be reactive to when self—harm happens, not proactive in stopping it from happening in the first place. as well as those who died in inpatient care, bbc news has found that since 2019, a further 26 patients have died within a year of leaving camhs units. zeinab says she was discharged before she was ready. so i would tell people that i was ok, that i wasn't going to self—harm, i wasn't going to end my life. and then as soon as i got in the community, that's exactly what i would do. experts point to a staffing shortage. there has been chronic underinvestment over the years in face of unprecedented demand. there are some pockets of very good practice happening up and down the country but of course there is an awful lot of variation in practice.

the government said it was working to recruit an extra 27,000 mental health professionals by 202a. for steve, lessons must be learned. seeing her there after she was meant to go in these hospitals to be able to come back out and hopefully lead a normal life, we shouldn't be going there and seeing my daughter laid on a hospital bed. adam eley, bbc news. we're joined now by rachel bannister whose daughter previously spent time in child and adolescent mental health hospitals. good morning, thank you for coming in. ., ~' , ., good morning, thank you for coming in. ., ~' i., ., ., we in. thank you for having me here. we heard steve's — in. thank you for having me here. we heard steve's story, _ in. thank you for having me here. we heard steve's story, it's _ in. thank you for having me here. we heard steve's story, it's a _ in. thank you for having me here. we heard steve's story, it's a shocking i heard steve's story, it's a shocking story, but it isn't an isolated case by any means. it story, but it isn't an isolated case by any means-— by any means. it is utterly heartbreaking. _ by any means. it is utterly heartbreaking. to - by any means. it is utterly heartbreaking. to see i by any means. it is utterly i heartbreaking. to see stories by any means. it is utterly - heartbreaking. to see stories like this. fora personal heartbreaking. to see stories like this. for a personal perspective to know it could have been us very easily, and it isn't an isolated

the crisis point so they have to be admitted to hospital. we need early intervention in the community so we need more beds but we also need much better amorphous well structured evidence—based outpatient care. there are really good examples where it helps well, we have got hospitals in london who treat people in the community and very rarely hospitalise people and they have lost no people. they have treated my daughter. 50 lost no people. they have treated my dau:hter. , ., ., daughter. so you have wide experience _ daughter. so you have wide experience of _ daughter. so you have wide experience of this - daughter. so you have wide experience of this issue, i daughter. so you have wide i experience of this issue, what happened to your daughter and your family? she happened to your daughter and your famil ? ,, ., , happened to your daughter and your famil ? ,, .,, ., ,., happened to your daughter and your famil ? ,, ., ., , ., , family? she was about 13 a few years aro family? she was about 13 a few years auo and i family? she was about 13 a few years ago and i started _ family? she was about 13 a few years ago and i started having _ family? she was about 13 a few years ago and i started having concerns i ago and i started having concerns about her mental health. we took her to the gp and we were very lucky we were seen by a very compassionate and experienced gp who referred us to 23 very quickly. but even —— referred us to camhs. but there was not the resources and staffing to offer her the holistic care that she

needed. i thought they would have a mental health tool box at camhs with everything you would need to make her well. everything you would need to make herwell. never everything you would need to make her well. never in my worst nightmare did i imagine that we would have a two—year wait for any treatments to begin. she was seen in the community by some brilliant staff butjust not not often enough and it wasn't holistic and it didn't include the professionals that she needed like a dietician. when she deteriorated, there were no beds and she was sent to 50 miles away and then 100 miles. and then latterly 300 miles from our home in nottingham to scotland. you can imagine the trauma for her, a young teenager, in the prime of your life and lots of ways, your personality is developing, you want to be with people who love and care for you, you don't want to be ripped out of the heart of your family. we don't talk about often enough the effect on the whole family. it has affected

all of us, my middle daughter has had post—traumatic stress disorder, and i ended up really poorly myself. so it's notjust the young person, it's everybody. so it's notjust the young person, it's everybody-— it's everybody. how is she doing now, and it's everybody. how is she doing now. and how — it's everybody. how is she doing now, and how are _ it's everybody. how is she doing now, and how are you _ it's everybody. how is she doing now, and how are you all - it's everybody. how is she doing | now, and how are you all doing? it's everybody. how is she doing i now, and how are you all doing? we are ok, now, and how are you all doing? , are ok, and we are on a recovery journey, all of us. i think it is only because of luck. and it shouldn't be down to luck. the services mean that i have survived because of a matter of luck, i have put my hand above the parapet and spoken up when things are not good enough and i wish i had spoken up sooner. my partner was in work when i was out of work and we were really lucky because our clinical commissioning group pay for trauma therapy so they have offered us therapy that she has now had for five years and she has had continuity of care which he had not had before. so the same consultant

psychiatrist for five years. and that has kept out of hospital, no doubt. she has had that continuity of care and the different therapeutic approach. we: of care and the different therapeutic approach. it's difficult because i can _ therapeutic approach. it's difficult because i can imagine _ therapeutic approach. it's difficult because i can imagine a _ therapeutic approach. it's difficult because i can imagine a parent i therapeutic approach. it's difficult| because i can imagine a parent are watching at home concerned about a child, they might think, i don't even know where to turn. and child, they might think, i don't even know where to turn. and the waitin: even know where to turn. and the waiting lists _ even know where to turn. and the waiting lists and _ even know where to turn. and the waiting lists and the _ even know where to turn. and the waiting lists and the thresholds i even know where to turn. and the waiting lists and the thresholds to get the care are even higher than they were back then. the whole thing that has happened to us and i am so grateful that we have still got my daughter with us, when she was in the last unit, it became a dangerous place. it really did. if it wasn't for a conversation i had with an nhs manager who listened, validated what i was saying and got her out of there, we could be in the same situation as chelsea's dad. i have set up a charity now, we are a campaigning charity now, but we have another side, we fundraiser so if any companies or people wants to sponsor us, we have a fundraiser on

union aslef, which represents drivers, insists that's not the case and says the company does not employ enough staff. an acclaimed chef who spent decades as an addict has been explaining how his passion forfood helped him turn his life around. chris denney took drugs for 2a years. after suffering a breakdown, he managed to get clean and is now channelling his energy into his new restaurant and bar in notting hill. i thought it was the industry that made me do what i did, for wrong. but since going into recovery and becoming fitter in the head and physically, ifound solace in the job itself. so maybe it was a maturity thing, but, yeah, it's going good. travel now and this is how tfl services are looking at the moment. there's no service between brixton and victoria on the victoria line due to a signal failure. there are minor delays on the hammersmith and city and circle lines due to an earlier

issues at edgware road. there are minor delays on thejubilee line due to train cancellations. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. another hot spell of weather with us this week across the capital. the blue sky and sunshine was captured by our weather watchers yesterday and is set to continue through the rest of this week. of course, it is looking bone dry. high pressure dominates. not a drop of rain in the forecast until, perhaps, we get to the second half of the weekend and into the start of next week, when there may well be some heavy, thundery downpours, but that is still rather uncertain. today, it is a dry, mild start to the morning, temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. lots of sunshine throughout the morning, lasting into the afternoon. could be a bit of fairweather cloud here and there that will melt away again towards the end of the day. and there is still a very light north—easterly wind blowing. a couple of degrees cooler out towards eastern areas of the capital. the highest temperatures further west. western home counties, we could see 29 or even 30 celsius. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole

thing all over again. so clear skies, light winds, temperatures dropping generally to the mid—teens in celsius. the nights do start to get warmer and the day hotter. more places, i think, will see 30—31 celsius on wednesday. those temperatures continue to climb into the low to mid—30s, potentially, by the time we get to friday and saturday. that's it for the moment. there's lots more on our website and social media. now back to sally and ben on breakfast. i'm backjust after 9. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. the commonwealth games were brought to a close last night, in spectacularfashion. mike is in birmingham for us this morning. it was amazing? yes, full of surprises with a great

rock concert. one of the highlights was how the teams came out together, mingling together, not in the formations we saw at the opening ceremony. obviously friendships have been formed in the village and to be with their friends from different countries was great to see. things returning to normal. people on their way to work past the mechanical bull which will remain as a legacy of the games but it is returning to normal. the baton was handed over to victoria. we look back at a spectacular night, rounded off by ozzy osbourne making a surprise appearance. # come on, eileen. # well, i swear, at this moment #. a stadium dominated by athletes now home to a few runners. wolverhampton band dexys midnight runners performing their most famous song at the start of the closing ceremony. from come on, eileen

to come in, eilish. gold medal—winning scottish athlete eilish mccolgan leading the flag—bearers from the 70—plus nations. golden gymnast jake jarman last in with the english flag. # red, red wine. the party then became a midlands musical medley. ubao, goldie and beverley knight among the acts on stage. birmingham's best known tv exportjoined in. tommy shelby and the rest of the peaky blinders arriving at the alexander stadium. every brummie, every volunteer, every single commonwealth athlete is helping to write a new chapter in our history. we will never forget your warmth and your welcome. from me to all of you, thank you.

but i will have to say an emotional goodbye to my friend. the giant mechanical bull that has been saved forever more. it is goodbye but i am sure we will be back to see him again. studio: we saw you on top of the bull yesterday. is it staying right there? ,, ., there? staying here untilthe end of there? staying here untilthe end of the cultural — there? staying here untilthe end of the cultural festival— there? staying here untilthe end of the cultural festival in _ the culturalfestival in mid—september and by then the cultural festival in mid—september and by then they will have found a permanent indoor facility because the problem is it is made with foam that will perish in the winter so they will find a place indoors for people to enjoy it for years to come. it is place indoors for people to en'oy it for years to come.i for years to come. it is incredible. it is an icon _ for years to come. it is incredible. it is an icon of _ for years to come. it is incredible. it is an icon of the _ for years to come. it is incredible. it is an icon of the games - for years to come. it is incredible. it is an icon of the games and i it is an icon of the games and birmingham has looked brilliant throughout. what a well organised event. thank you. it has looked fantastic. the

sunshine has helped, as always. we were speaking to chris jai, where we have scepticism in this country about putting on big events like that. that it will never be ready. birmingham proved it can do it. we should learn. in a big moment for lgbt rights, this year's commonwealth games made a powerful statement against homophobia when olympic gold medallist tom daley carried the progress pride flag in the opening ceremony. it was filmed for his new documentary illegal to be me in which tom travels to some of the most homophobic countries in the commonwealth where gay athletes face extreme persecution. let's take a look. i would be illegal to exist in 35 of the 56 sovereign states of the commonwealth. i mean, it'sjust outrageous. these days, most international sporting bodies claim they are inclusive of lgbt people. but just this year, the football world cup and formula 1 are both

being hosted in countries that have the death penalty for being gay. as a former medal winner, the commonwealth games is close to my heart. and i want to convince it to become the first to sporting event to really take a stand. i have been told that sport and politics shouldn't collide. but, at the same time, you have to acknowledge what's going on around you. my wish right now is to try and get the commonwealth games to say they will not allow any country that has anti—lgbt laws to be able to host the commonwealth games. and i know that is a bold wish, but it has to start somewhere to try and create some change. tom joins us from the shard. with a glorious view. good morning.

i want to pick up on a comment made in that clip. saying you think sport and politics should stay separate but the point is it is not about politics but acceptance and equality here. �* , ,., , politics but acceptance and equality here. �* , ., politics but acceptance and equality here. , , ., ., , here. absolutely, all about equality and listening _ here. absolutely, all about equality and listening to _ here. absolutely, all about equality and listening to that _ here. absolutely, all about equality and listening to that part _ here. absolutely, all about equality and listening to that part of - here. absolutely, all about equality and listening to that part of the - and listening to that part of the documentary, that was my initial stance going into this campaign, which was to not allow countries with anti lgbt laws to host major sporting events but having travelled around the commonwealth, i travelled to pakistan and jamaica and spoke to athletes and advocates and may change my mind on different things, about what can be done to make tangible change immediately. this idea came before the documentary, this campaign and idea of trying to create change was something i have always been passionate about and rather than creating a documentary

showing the bad things happening to lgbt people around the world, what can we do about it? and what is next? this was the first step, the commonwealth games. you still have the olympics and things like the world cup, with football. formula i, boxing. all these events held in countries that have the death penalty for gay people. you said durin: the penalty for gay people. you said during the documentary - penalty for gay people. you said during the documentary you - penalty for gay people. you said - during the documentary you discover things. during the documentary you discover thins. ., , ., during the documentary you discover thins. ., ,, . ., ,, during the documentary you discover thins. ., . ., ., things. how did you change your own mind? there — things. how did you change your own mind? there were _ things. how did you change your own mind? there were so _ things. how did you change your own mind? there were so many _ things. how did you change your own mind? there were so many things i mind? there were so many things around the origin of homophobia and the legacy of colonial laws exported by britain and being able to understand and listen to other athletes and what they want. in the uk we often take the pride flag for granted. it does not seem like anything other than sharing maybe it is a gay friendly place but around

the commonwealth that was a beacon of hope and safety and my stance, going into places to ban countries from hosting, that is further oppression and being able to give people the opportunity to learn and understand and to put a pro lgbt stance at the front of these sporting federations, to create a safe space for everyone to enjoy sport. safe space for everyone to en'oy sort. ., ~' , , safe space for everyone to en'oy sort. ., ~ , , , safe space for everyone to en'oy sort. ., ~ , , sport. how likely is it sport can effect change? _ sport. how likely is it sport can effect change? you _ sport. how likely is it sport can effect change? you talk - sport. how likely is it sport can effect change? you talk about| sport. how likely is it sport can i effect change? you talk about the rainbow flag. we see companies doing it during pride month, changing their logo, they don't always follow it up with action. is there a danger with sporting events is a everybody is welcome for the duration of the event and then things revert to how they were? event and then things revert to how the were? ~ ., , they were? one think on this 'ourne , they were? one think on this journey. this _ they were? one think on this journey, this campaign, - they were? one think on this l journey, this campaign, having spoken to the different athletes and

advocates around the commonwealth, we created together a manifesto we sent to the commonwealth games federation, notjust showing the pride flag at the opening ceremony, but including a safe space for lgbt athletes in the village and a pride has for a safe space for people to watch the event, and having information in the room is to be able to seek support, especially if you are in danger in your country, information about charities people can seek asylum with. i am working with the commonwealth games athlete commissioned to make change. i think this manifesto could be a blueprint for other sporting events. indie this manifesto could be a blueprint for other sporting events.- for other sporting events. we are seeinu for other sporting events. we are seeing pictures — for other sporting events. we are seeing pictures now _ for other sporting events. we are seeing pictures now on _ for other sporting events. we are seeing pictures now on view - for other sporting events. we are seeing pictures now on view at i for other sporting events. we are l seeing pictures now on view at the opening ceremony. that was quite a moment. it opening ceremony. that was quite a moment. ., , ., opening ceremony. that was quite a moment. . , ., ., ., ., ., moment. it was an emotional moment for the fact that _ moment. it was an emotional moment for the fact that all _ moment. it was an emotional moment for the fact that all the _ moment. it was an emotional moment for the fact that all the people - moment. it was an emotional moment for the fact that all the people i - for the fact that all the people i had met around the commonwealth and

how much it meant to them, them saying if they had seen this when they were growing up, they would have felt less alone, it would have given them hope maybe one day they can be free, and they have a space in sport. lgbt people are not going anywhere. we are part of the sporting community. we want to be able to feel safe in doing that. to underline that, i want to play a clip from the documentary and in it you read an emotional letter from an athlete from pakistan. finding a gay male athlete willing to talk to me has been difficult. but since coming to pakistan, i've been in touch with someone who is hoping to compete in this year's commonwealth games. he is too scared to appear on camera, even if we conceal his identity. but he sent me a letter. it starts with, "i cannot come in front of the camera because of my family and surroundings. they have no clue

about my orientation." it goes on to say, "i live in pakistan. one of my friends knows about my identity. he blackmailed me that he will tell the federation about my orientation, that i am gay. i fear that i will be killed. it won't make any difference to pakistan if banned from hosting or competing in the games." the more i'm learning about athletes here in pakistan, it is even more layers of homophobia. it is notjust family, notjust friends, it is also team—mates and federations. it just feels they are fighting an impossible fight. like everyone feels like no matter what is done within sport that it will not make a difference to pakistan, nothing will make a difference and that there is no hope. watching that you can see how

emotional the film is. has this bird you want to do more? like emotional the film is. has this bird you want to do more?— you want to do more? like i said, the commonwealth _ you want to do more? like i said, the commonwealth games - you want to do more? like i said, the commonwealth games and i you want to do more? like i said, i the commonwealth games and this campaign, the commonwealth games is a start. there are many sporting events that are not including and being able to have a safe space for lgbt people and that is the big thing. the commonwealth games is the start. they did an incrediblejob including the pride flag at the opening ceremony, the first sporting event to make such a bold statement, which was amazing for so many around the commonwealth to feel seen and to feel we are welcome. being able to see that might have given people hope that they have a place on this earth where they can be valued and there is strength in our difference. tom, thank you. lovely to talk to you this morning. good to hear and

see that documentary. tom daley: illegal to be me is on tonight at 9pm on bbc one and iplayer. amazon staff are threatening further strike action after a string of walkouts over pay. nina's here to explain what's going on. good morning. industrialaction good morning. industrial action is like a summer snowball. it's becoming increasingly familiar message. workers saying their pay isn't meeting inflation and they want to do something about it. we've had action from rail and airline workers. the latest? amazon workers in essex, bristol, kent and coventry. there is an interesting distinction here though. these workers don't officially have a union so have organised the protests themselves. why? well they're being offered a pay rise of between 35p and 50p an hour — about 3% to 5%. and that would take wages to betweeen £10.50 and £11.16 an hour. that's a pound or more above the highest living wage. but some staff say that's not enough.

more than 1000 employees across different sites took action last week, walking out or sitting in, or working more slowly. to put it in context, that's 1,000 out of 70,000 staff. what they want is a £2 per hour pay rise, which they say better reflects rising costs. and they want that deal by tomorrow. amazon's revenues topped £23 billion last year, and they told us staff pay is competitive, and that employees are offered a benefits and packages worth thousands of pounds. you might be wondering what it means for you and whether those deliveries you rely on will be affected. well they might be if further action is taken. and it doesn't look like they're set to back down. we spoke to one worker who wanted to remain anonymous, who said the offer was disgusting and laughable. and they are now being backed by a union, which says they're entitled to a better deal.

this raises all sorts of issues. how easy is it for workers who aren't officially unionised to mobilise against their employer? what does that mean for businesses, and for services we rely on? what is interesting here is amazon has been held up as a business where pay was relatively high compared to parts of the public sector with people leaving front line jobs to work for amazon and now they are saying it is not close enough to inflation and i do not think they will be the last. yesterday we were with former rugby union player ed slater. as he set off on his epic 350 mile bike ride. ed and his teammates are raising money and awareness for motor neurone disease, after he became the latest

athlete to announce he's been diagnosed with the condition. how is everybody? in good spirits. a hot day today and they have to do hundred and 32 miles. they have gone for about two hours. going to milton keynes and then overnight to twickenham and back to gloucester tomorrow. so here in good spirits. cheering. after ten very hot hours and 90 miles in the saddle, ed slater and the team arrived at welford road in leicester, a former home ground for him and a few of the riders. all i know is that my quads are tighter than charlie sharples at the bar! but, beyond that, just relief. relief. i had no training. a lot of us didn't, to be honest with you. in fact, probably everyone bar the two professionals. so to make it and survive gives me

confidence for tomorrow. and they are off. big cheer. yesterday started with an enthusiastic sendoff from the gloucester faithful. and not to be outdone, tigers fans, friends and family turned out to show their support at the end of day one. among them was kevin sinfield, a member of leicester's coaching staff. he knows all about pushing your body to the limit. his seven marathons in seven days challenge raised money and awareness for the motor neurone disease association in honour of his friend and former team—mate rob burrow. when i speak to people around here about ed's time at the club, they always speak in glowing terms about him, so it's great he's got support. i think it's absolutely wonderful what him and the family have been able to do already in such a short space of time. i think it shows what rugby is about, both codes. we have seen it now with rob burrow and doddie weir. we now have another champion, as well, who is hanging the drum. and for old friends, a chance to catch up. england scrum—half ben youngs and ed won the league

together here in 2013. ben knows personally how devastating this disease can be. my brother—in—law, he passed away with mnd in 2021. it's an awful, awful disease. it's a prison sentence within your own body and the sooner we find more information about it and a cure, the betterfor everyone. because it'sjust not right, and ed is another example of a fit young man that is going to have this almighty battle against mnd. ed is still learning to live with the disease, still coming to terms with his diagnosis. but already inspiring so many, including former team—mates. it's just wonderful. it is what rugby is, it is the culture rugby has and, hopefully, that will continue going forward. people supporting him up and down the country, people donating to what is an amazing, amazing cause. for those riding to support ed, this proved to be a baptism of fire.

the boys did really well. it's obviously quite warm. but considering we had some guys who had onlyjust been on a road bike for the first time this week, we sort of got our rhythm quite quickly. yeah, we had a little bit of a dip at four o'clock this afternoon — everyone was feeling it a bit. friends and foes on the pitch, all are in awe of this effort. it's always been pretty close with rob being a rugby league player, doddie, rugby union. but i think with ed being the age he is and being the player he is, and the person he is, more than most, you know, to see the guys turn out and put their bodies through what they are putting it through for him, it is a real wake—up call for the sport and for mnd in particular. we have got to raise as much awareness as we can to start getting answers and results. i remember taking the photo and you were like, no, you don't want me, i take a horrible photo. among the fans, we met tricia. a lifelong tigers supporter who believes ed's efforts will make a real difference.

i had a school friend back when i was a teenager, her stepdad died of mnd. and, 30 years ago, nobody had heard of mnd. and up until 2—3 years ago, still nobody really knew much about it. and then obviously through rob burrow, doddie weir and now ed, we are getting the voice out there. more people can hear about it, raise funds that they need. so, today, they go again. a much longer distance but another chance to dig deep, another chance to raise money, another chance to get their vital message across. they are 25 miles into des two. this is ed's just they are 25 miles into des two. this is ed'sjust giving page. £110,000 currently. a quarter of the way through the target. we can check on the weather.

good morning. good morning. it is going to be hot. as we go through the next days, for many, we will experience heat wave conditions. this morning we have cloud in east anglia which is breaking up now. for most, dry, sunny and the temperature is rising. across the north—west of scotland more cloud and it is breezy. and the odd spot of drizzle. temperatures in the north—west, 15-17, 22 in temperatures in the north—west, 15—17, 22 in glasgow. up to 31 somewhere in the south—east. overnight, we will see mist forming. a lot of dry weather and clear skies. a weather front across the north—west introduces cloud and the odd spot of drizzle. for most, in double figures overnight so it will not be cold. tomorrow the mist lifts quickly and a sunny day in

north—west scotland. later in the day we see cloud return with rain. for the rest of the uk, dry and sunny and the temperature is continuing to rise. 25 in aberdeen, 32 in birmingham and by the end of the week, some in the south will see 36. thank you. nice to see you today. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8.59.
