and it isn'tjust humans who need hydration. one farmer in suffolk has been filling 70 water troughs each day to make sure the wildlife have enough to drink. an amber hit later still in place today and the drought in parts of england could potentially last into next year. will bachelor, bbc news. stricter controls are expected on water use as the dry conditions continue. five water companies have already announced restrictions, including hosepipe bans. our reporter alison freeman is in scarborough for us this morning. alison, what has yorkshire water announced and what other measures come!, this is an intimate? the ministersjust come!, this is an intimate? the ministers just descended come!, this is an intimate? the ministersjust descended here. they would have been benefiting from the warm weather with people wanting to come here to call off but as you say there are serious concerns about water levels. yorkshire water said to become the fifth company in

england and wales to introduce a hosepipe ban. this will come in on the 26th of august. the other companies are walsh government water, southern government water, thames water and mix of the government water. it will make this the first in the north to introduce such measures because yorkshire water says its reservoirs is down 20% of what they should be for this time of year because of the lowest rainfall and 130 years in some parts of the county, as well as those record temperatures that we have been recording. eight areas in the south have been declared as being officially and drought, including devon, kent, east anglia and lincolnshire, but again it could be another first for yorkshire, thought it could be declared to be endowed by the end of the month. west midlands could possibly follow suit. it isn'tjust midlands could possibly follow suit. it isn't just about midlands could possibly follow suit. it isn'tjust about humans. no special measures have been introduced in one reservoir in yorkshire to try to protect

wildlife, stemming the flow of water that can leave it so it can protect the habitat. also there have been some restrictions on farmers in fife, scotland, temporarily banned from using water from the river eden to protect their crops. the environment agency says essential water supplies are going to be safe but people need to rethink the way that they use water. shorter showers of course, reusing water from the house in the garden, and only using household appliances that are fully loaded. they say that these droughts could last into next year and people are going to really have to start to be careful and think about what they are doing. here's sarah with a look at the weather. good morning, a lot of people will be desperately looking up for some rain. , ,., ., be desperately looking up for some rain. , ., . rain. yes, indeed. good morning. we have one rain. yes, indeed. good morning. we have gone thankfully _ rain. yes, indeed. good morning. we have gone thankfully a _ rain. yes, indeed. good morning. we have gone thankfully a bit _ rain. yes, indeed. good morning. we have gone thankfully a bit of - rain. yes, indeed. good morning. we have gone thankfully a bit of a - have gone thankfully a bit of a change on the card, expecting to see

some rain for some places over the next few days. not much of that across much of england and wales today. another dry day for many, especially in the south and east. this is the start of the day in norfolk, beautiful sunrise. this is the start of the day in norfolk, beautifulsunrise. it will be the last of norfolk, beautiful sunrise. it will be the last of the norfolk, beautifulsunrise. it will be the last of the hot norfolk, beautiful sunrise. it will be the last of the hot days today. the end of the heatwave inside. it is still hot and sunny but thunderstorms developed in the north and west today. we still have the extreme amber heat warning across england and is well, so still some implications for the rest of the day with heat —related health conditions. little bit of cloud over north—eastern england and scotland, showers over northern ireland that will develop widely of the northern ireland and western scotland this morning. thunderstorms, perhaps large hail and lightning. most of us across england and wales will stay dry for the day, temperatures up to about 34—35, a little bit cooler

than yesterday for the north and west. some showers edging into wales, south—west england at times but isolated. through the evening and overnight, showers in the north and overnight, showers in the north and west edge further south and east so you may hear the odd rumble of thunder overnight for northern ireland, perhaps wales as well but it will be warm and humid again, sticky tonight with temperatures in the mid—to high teens, no lower than 24 the mid—to high teens, no lower than 2a parts of southern england and south wales, a bit like last night. low pressure becomes more established across the uk as we move into the working week. monday we are more likely to see some showers edging further eastwards. could be one or two cropping up across east anglia during the afternoon, they could be heavy and thundery, heavy downpours across parts of northern and western scotland as well. certainly some more frequent showers through the day tomorrow than we have seen recently but still some areas that will miss them altogether and stay dry. likely to have eight

days above 30 degrees towards the south and east but pressure from the north—west. by the time we get to tuesday, showery ran, thunderstorms. most are in scotland, northern england. localised flash flooding in summer downpours at times, notjust over tuesday but the next few days. if you get some showers, they will fall on dry ground so potentially run off and cause flooding. by tuesday, temperatures back into the 20s on the south, the midteens to all the law. low pressure not far away into the middle of the week. it may bring a period of more persistent rain across southern areas. still some heavy showers lingering into wednesday, the risk that we could see localised flooding with some heavy downpours again, but temperatures come down through the week ahead, a little bit more average this time of year. i was hearing in the week that when the ground are so hard and dry the waterjust isn't the ground are so hard and dry the water just isn't absorbed, the ground are so hard and dry the waterjust isn't absorbed, so the risk of flooding is heightened?

absolutely, and the showers we do see can be heavy because of the heat in the atmosphere to bring down heavy rain, so torrential downpours on very hard, dry ground, certainly the recipe for some flooding. thank you very much. nearly 50,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in the uk every year, and survival rates are low, with around 16% of patients living for five years after diagnosis. early detection can make a difference and now there's new hope from a clinical trial at the royal papworth hospital in cambridge, where they're using a simple test to find new cases sooner. kate bradbrook reports. what is in this solution could be life changing. even lifesaving. a liquid substance which is hoped can help detect lung cancer at an early stage. here at worrall papworth horse at all it is being trialled for the first time in the world. in one of the first patients on the trial, 70—year—old wendy tait. mr;

our previous research that if you have a lung cancer the probe goes around the body and the lung cancer processes the probe and releases the alcohol onto the breath. if you have lung cancer we should be able to detect the probe and if you have not got lung cancer we should not see any alcohol on the breath. at the moment, tests involve coming into hospital and being put on a drip. it is a lengthy process. the hope is that in the future if these trials are successful that the test could be simplified and done at a gp practice or even at home. these early detection _ practice or even at home. these early detection approaches, - practice or even at home. these - early detection approaches, whether it is a breath test like we're trying to develop or a blood test, yes, if they work and we can roll them out into everyday immunity practice, it will save lives, absolutely. we will push up lung cancer survival. it absolutely. we will push up lung cancer survival.— absolutely. we will push up lung cancer survival. it is welcome news for wendy who _ cancer survival. it is welcome news for wendy who is _ cancer survival. it is welcome news for wendy who is having _ cancer survival. it is welcome news for wendy who is having surgery i for wendy who is having surgery tomorrow to remove her tumours. she

hopes this research may give others in the future that same chance. that was kate with that report from the royal papworth hospital in cambridge. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the sunday telegraph leads on a call by rishi sunak, the conservative leadership hopeful to designate iran's revolutionary guard as a terrorist organisation, after the attack on sir salman rushdie, which may have been inspired by the fatwa imposed on the author in 1989, by iran's leader at that time. the mail on sunday also leads on the fallout from that attack. the paper reports what it calls a sickening death threat against the harry potter authorjk rowling, who was told "you're next". treasury officials are working on plans that could reduce future rises in energy bills by £1100, the sunday times reports. the paper says the proposals involve a government—backed lending scheme

for suppliers to reduce the amount they need to charge households. and the observer reports that labour leader sir keir starmer is to call for a ban on the rise in the energy price cap, set to be introduced this autumn. the weather and the drought in many areas dominates the inside pages for many papers. this is from the times this morning, the environment secretary opposing a national grid for water shipping water from west to east. these pictures we see now from across the uk blow your mind, don't they? this is holford lake near cornwall. this is a put football pitch in peterborough. cricket is hit. look at that one. playing cricket in peterborough as well. it shows how parched the land is. there was a story yesterday

about sorry, there being no water there because of the water treatment plant because people were worried about water supply. this is a village in bedfordshire which is right at the end of a water main and slightly uphill where they have been having to take measures to fill and make sure they have water. many people, i still live in a place in the south of england where there was no mains water and people in places like water supply groundwater supply going to carry on? will it still be ok so deep down under the ground where it cannot easily be monitored? a lot of restricted changes will have to come on as the weather continues to change. this is the mail on sunday. you know how important it is to keep your tradespeople happy when they come around and this is a survey of

thousands of tradespeople asking them how strong they like their brew. there is a breakdown here of who likes it the strongest. who do you think likes it the weakest? i think it is linked to patients and how much time you have. painters just want the teabag in for about ten or 30 seconds. heating engineers who do a lot of weighing stuff wanted for the longest for 240 seconds. there is also a breakdown of favourite biscuit�*s. .. seconds. there is also a breakdown of favourite biscuit�*s... the poshest biscuit biscuit, i would argue, a bis cough for plasterers, they are the artistes. plain digestive for roofers and handymen. it is 20 minutes past six and the weather is on our mind at the moment as we all know see you maybe tempted to take a dip in open water. but there's a warning not to swim in areas without lifeguards, after 13 people died in the uk

open to the public for tours, was once used as a secret military test site. mike liggins went to have a look. arriving by ferry at orford ness, it is to be the home for a secret number of establishments, before it was bought by the national trust in 1993. today, orford ness is a place of mystery. my guide, glen pearce, keen to show me a nuclear bomb. so the unique part of our collection, the only national trust property with a nuclear bomb. this model, late 1960s, early 19705, property with a nuclear bomb. this model, late 1960s, early1970s, this particular one was carried by a plan for antisubmarine use. about ten times the power of hiroshima in the swan bomb. fin times the power of hiroshima in the swan bomb-— swan bomb. an airfield was created on orford ness _

chinese water dear, and gulls of course. this is a greatjob, isn't it? i'm a local, love being outside, love nature, so dixalea boxes. yes, and when you are out here, out on your own, after—hours, what is a low—cost market amazing, truly, truly bizarre but a unique site. amazing views, amazing spectacles of nature, as sort of it is quite eerie but also exciting kind of area at the same time. to visit orford ness you need to book online, there are no easier but it is a magical place and well worth a visit. mike liggins bbc news, orford ness. sarah is back with a look at the all weather. good morning! good morning. a beautiful start to

the day for many of us. this is eastbourne this morning, the sun has come up. temperatures already close to 20 degrees. some places haven't fallen below 20 through the course of the night. temperatures will shoot up again quickly today. if you are out and about on the coast for instance, taking the dog for a walkamin lexia hours will be present before it heats up. today will be the last day of extreme hours. hot and sunny again but bundle storms in the forecast so there is a change on the forecast so there is a change on the way, thankfully expecting some rain but some can be heavy due to localised flooding. today is last day the amber extreme heat warning across much of england and is well, but even to the north where it will be another hot day. some problems may be with health and transport disruptions. heavy showers developed over northern ireland and scotland, some thundery. large hail and

frequent lightning mixed in the showers as they move east. not as heartily have those downpours in the north—west, but after about 34, 30 five degrees across central and southern parts of england, and south wales as well. as we head through the course of the evening, the odd shower over england, south—west england, the showers in the north and west continue their progress southwards eastwards, so heavy ones in northern england as well. it will be a another fairly sticky and hot night for sleeping with temperatures mostly in the mid to high teens but some areas in the south like last night when be below 20 degrees, so another tropical night. as we move through monday, low pressure becomes more established across the uk, a couple of runs on the pressure map. more of a chance of more about seeing those downpours on monday. perhaps wales and the south—west of england through the morning seeing heavy showers. northern ireland and scotland again. later in the day one or two cropping up further east in

norfolk for instance. thunderstorms, hail, lining as well. still going to be hot in the south and east tomorrow. it'll be the eighth consecutive day we will see temperatures above 30 degrees somewhere. starting to cool down a judge. high teens although 20s scotland and northern ireland. heading through tuesday, fairly persistent rain for parts of scotland and northern england. further south also some heavy showers, turning breezy for some of us as well. some thunderstorms in the mix. if you do catch some heavy downpours there is the threat of it falling on the dry ground and causing flooding. temperatures returning to something more typical for this time of year into the middle of the week. wednesday, miva chance of heavy downpours in the south and east where we could do with the rain but not all of it falling during a short space of time as it may well with the heavy showers and thunderstorms. it looks like in the south that high pressure might build again into next weekend

but at least we have got some rain and the forecast and that is good news over and the forecast and that is good news over the and the forecast and that is good news over the next and the forecast and that is good news over the next couple and the forecast and that is good news over the next couple of and the forecast and that is good news over the next couple of days. thank you. we will be back at the headlines for you at seven o'clock. in 2010, the himalayan nation of nepal was one of 13 countries to commit to doubling its wild tiger populations by 2022. nepal is now the only country to have achieved that goal. let's find out more in a special program, �*return of the tigers'. tigers are making a remarkable comeback here in nepal. their numbers more than doubling in the last ten years. tigers are the majestic creatures. being assigned in the protection duties, it's an honour, you know, it's a privilege. it's a small victory in a battle to bring them back from the brink of extinction.

it is definitely something to be celebrated. it does not come without the cost. the common area that the tiger and prey species and humanity shares is so tight, the community lives in terror. there has been an increase in tiger attacks on humans. more number of tigers and more number of people, definitely there is going to be conflict. so it is going to be a challenging job for us to, you know, maintain peace between two species.

chanting private pinky adhikari has been newly stationed at bardiya national park in western nepal. herjob here is to protect the park's endangered elephants, rhinos, and tigers.

after morning exercise, her unit heads off on patrol. we've been given rare access to go with them. one of the key factors of nepal's success has been strong enforcement against poaching and that's involved the military. armed units like this one patrol across the park daily. her unit's captain is ayushjung bahadur rana. tigers are the majestic creatures.

there are two types of feeling when you come in head to head with them. it is "oh my god, what a majestic creature is that!" and the otherfeeling is "oh my god, am i dead?" so that's the type of feeling you get when you encounter when you encounter a tiger. so being assigned in the protection duties, it's an honour. it's a privilege to be part of something that is really big, you know. so what are you looking for on this patrol? i mean, like, we're looking for any illegal encroachment of people or domestic animals. these are the basic things that we look at while we're on patrol. do you have the power to shoot? only — only if we have any life—threatening encounters with the wild animals or it is the poachers. but that is the last resort. that is the last thing we would want to do. just outside the national park, indigenous leader bhadai tharu patrols his community forest. it's part of a key corridor

that allows tigers to move between protected areas in nepal and neighbouring india. this used to be a grazing area for cattle but was reforested by bhadai's community. he was cutting grass

here in the forest with over 100 other people when a tiger attacked. he lost his left eye.

singing this whole area used to be a royal hunting ground. this is a land whose people have always lived under the menace of marauding tiger. when queen elizabeth visited the country in 1961, she took part in a tiger hunt. archive: and, yes,

there was a tiger. . king mahendra had fulfilled a time honoured obligation of a host in nepal and provided the royal party with a tiger to shoot. but there was more hunting to come. the next prey was a rhino. the rhino was also killed. hunting, poaching, and habitat loss has pushed tigers towards extinction. and that was the end of another animal. since the beginning of the 20th century, their numbers globally have dropped by more than 95%. but here in nepal there are signs of a remarkable recovery. the rangers are taking part in a nationwide tiger census.

over 800 camera pairs have been hidden across the park. you just installed this camera. how long will you keep it here for? so you are going to be having over 1,000 hours of footage look at? and when you're analysing the footage, how do you make sure that your count is accurate? with fewer than 4,000

while tigers left in the world, every tiger counts. the census results show that tiger numbers here in nepal have more than doubled in the last ten years. the area where tigers were once hunted is now being managed so that they can recover and thrive. this grassland is cut and burnt and there's man—made waterholes here. it's to attract the deer, the tigers' main prey. before this area became a national park there was a village here. bishnu shrestra is the chief warden of bardiya national park. it's a better environment for tigers. yes, yes.

more spaces, more tiger numbers. and you're also looking at water sources, increasing water sources on the national park. yes. until now we have created 180 water ponds here. 50 water pond is with solar. is there a chance that with these interventions that you're pushing the tiger population beyond what's sustainable for the size of the park? no. we are creating many water pool and grassland, particularly for the prey species and the tiger. we now have sufficient space and prey density in the park, so we are managing the tigers in a sustainable way. that evening we see signs of the return of the tiger close to where we're sleeping. just behind our camp, fresh tiger footprints have been found in the sand here.

we think they are from an adult female tiger — we saw a lot of deer last night on the grassland and there's water here, so the footprints in the sand here lead all the way to the water. this camp is run by conservationist manoj gautam. it is definitely something to be celebrated. it does not come without a cost. and it has been costing the lives of people and so much more. the common area that the tigers and prey species and humanity shares is so tight. we head out into the villages just outside the park's boundaries, into the communities that live with the tigers.

here in these villages, the lives of humans and tigers are intertwined. some in the community live off the tourism industry that's built around the park. others have to take the risk of entering the jungle for their livelihood. samjhana lost her mother—in—law in a tiger attack last year. she was deep inside the national park, cutting

grass for their cow. samjhana heard the story from those who were there. the government pays around us$8,000 in compensation to tiger victims' families. but because samjhana's mother—in—law was inside the national park, she has been told she doesn't qualify for it. she is still fighting for some kind of financial help to put

towards her boys' education. this is the tiger that is believed to have killed her mother—in—law and two other people. now behind bars in kathmandu zoo. right now the national park is actively trying to increase the tiger population, how do you feel about that? protests broke out injune after a leopard attacked villagers, a week after a woman was killed by a tiger. the community demanding

authorities do more to protect them. the protests turned violent. police opened fire on the crowd, killing an 18—year—old girl and injuring others, sparking further outrage. the community lives in terror. so there is a price that the community has paid for the world to rejoice with the news that nepal has successfully doubled its tiger numbers. when a tiger kills a human, authorities track them down and take them captive. 16 people have been killed by a tiger in nepal in the last 12 months.

one of the tigers now in captivity is being held behind the chief warden's office. this tiger killed one or two men in the last year in the rajipurarea, so we captured and kept in this tiger holding cage. how do you know it's the right tiger? we closely monitor through camera in the incident area, after identification, we captured and put it in holding cage. do you do that because there is pressure from the community? or is there a real threat that once a tiger has killed a human, that they will attack again? there is a chance to attack the human again, by the tiger, if the tiger killed one person previously. so this tiger has been here for one year now, you can see it's not happy about being in captivity. what is the long—term plan for this tiger? we have ordered a satellite

collar for this tiger. after consultation with our department we will do something regarding his release. bhadai tharu calls a meeting of his community protection unit.

this is a generation that will have to navigate the return of the tigers. susila, who is also part of the community protection unit, run this after—school class. susila also worked as a tour guide and the national park. you have to see tigers in the wild to

fully appreciate them, she says. so we head back into the park together. looking for tiger and leopard, this is the track that they will come to the river to drink. and sometimes we get also elephant. susila takes us to a spot near the river. and after hours of waiting, a tiger suddenly appears. it is magnificent to see a male tiger walking along here, one of over 100 tigers now here in bardiya national park, part of a growing tiger population here in nepal.

it is definitely something to be celebrated, because as we know everywhere around the world, the conservation stories that we often get to read are loudly depressing, and the number of species we are losing on a daily basis, the habitat loss that we see every day. and nepal brings a freshness to the arena of conservation. music and chanting. they have participated in this, they have rejoiced in the success as well, and they are paying with their lives and terror, and that i think needs to be acknowledged more. and if it is not acknowledged the world cannot come together to find a solution for that. despite what happened to her mother—in—law, samjhana continues to risk entering the national park.

for the soldiers, the challenge is to keep the peace. we are the mediators, so it's our duty to bring peace between two species. and so it's the both — i would say the protection of the tiger is our responsibility, but at the same time protection of civilians is also our main responsibility.

news to media after previously saying the author may lose an eye. our north american correspondent is in pennsylvania where mr rushdie is in pennsylvania where mr rushdie is in hospital. a day after sir salman rushdie was stabbed, he's now said to be awake and off a ventilator. the author's condition has not yet been fully updated but fellow writers have been tweeting their relief at finding out he's able to talk. michael hill, the president of the chautauqua institution where mr rushdie was attacked tweeted his happiness at the news. this comes as the man accused of attemping to murder him appeared in court. 24—year—old hadi matar was arrested at the literary event. he'd bought a ticket to attend. onlookers had held the suspect down as the author lay on the stage, injured. i've been coming here for 31 years and this is one of the most peaceful and quiet places i have ever been in my life. and, you know, the guy has a price on his head from 1989, and of all the places he might be attacked or hurt or, god forbid, die, chautauqua would be

the last place i would think of. inside court wearing handcuffs and prison clothing, hadi matar pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder and assault. reports say that a law—enforcement review of his social media accounts found he was sympathetic to the causes of the iranian revolutionary guards, a major military and political force in iran. it was in 1989 when iran's spiritual leader at the time placed a death sentence on sir salman. his book, the satanic verses, was considered an insult to islam and lead to global riots which killed 45 people. he went into hiding for nearly a decade but in recent years shunned the high levels of security, saying that he wanted to be able to live freely. ever since the attack on friday, world leaders have been issuing words of solidarity for sir salman rushdie. president biden released a statement, praising the author

for his refusal to be intimidated or silenced. nomia iqbal, bbc news, pennsylvania. they could be modest avanti introducing a new reduced timetable of services, adding to problems created by a sum of rail strikes. the company operating trade between london and the north—west of england and scotland says the new timetable will run until further notice due to severe staff shortages. just today after the latest industrial dispute to hit the railways, another major disruption is hitting customers who use travel on avanti west coast services. a reduced timetable will see a big drop in services. avanti west coast normally runs seven trains per hour on the west coast mainline. now it will run as few as four an hour. london, euston and manchester services are the worst affected, with trains reduced from three per hour to just one.

avanti west coast blame the timetable reduction on the current industrial relations climate. prior to these cancellations, many of these trains were running as a result of drivers volunteering for overtimem but the number of volunteers has fallen sharply. this has led to an accusation from the transport secretary, grant shapps, that this is an unofficial strike. aslef deny that accusation. it says avanti west coast simply haven't hired enough drivers, and says that train companies in general have lost the goodwill of their employees. the labour mayors of both manchester and london put the blame of the dispute firmly at the door of the train company. all parties are a bit to blame, but for avanti to say that it's all down to the drivers who don't want to work on their rest days is actually pretty outrageous, because the drivers have every right not to work on that rest days, and indeed they get reasonable salaries, so if they don't want to work on their rest day, yes, it is difficult for avanti

but they should have sorted this out when they took over the franchise a couple of years ago. grant shapps has written to the mayors of the cities and he remains adamant that the fault of this lies with the union. he is calling for major reforms of the railways but that's little comfort to the thousands who will face much tougherjourneys to their destinations. razman karmali, bbc news. our reporter anisa kadri is at london euston for us this morning, anisa, how is it looking, are there many passengers around? look so quiet that, even though it isjust look so quiet that, even though it is just after seven o'clock. are i've expecting many? ! are they expecting many? good morning, i have been chatting to some passengers who arrived here bright and early. to some passengers who arrived here bright and early-— bright and early. some got caught up in the disruption _ bright and early. some got caught up in the disruption caused _ bright and early. some got caught up in the disruption caused by _ bright and early. some got caught up in the disruption caused by the i in the disruption caused by the strike yesterday. others aren't aware of the changes to the avanti

west coast timetable, but one couple did say to me that they felt the people they knew of manchester, particularly had come to london for business reasons, they will be affected by the changes because their services between manchester and london are most effective, running just once an hour compared to three times previously. for some context, there have been several rail strikes the summer with unions calling for pay rises more in line with the rising cost—of—living, but the rail companies say they can only find those pay rises with reforms, things like changing the terms and conditions of contract. what avanti west coast says is that because what it calls the current industrial relations climate it has got its services because drivers are making themselves unavailable for voluntary overtime at short notice, leading to last—minute cancellations, they say. the drivers say that there is no official strike action happening here and the company needs to simply employ more drivers while there

isn't much agreement there — one thing is for sure, the disruption won't go away anytime soon because most drugs are planned with a few next week, this time involving the rmt union. —— more strikes are planned. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, will use a speech tomorrow to call for a freeze to the energy price cap in the autumn. analysts believe the cap will rise to around 3,500 pounds in october. sir keir wants to keep the current price cap atjust under 2,000 pounds for the average household. and it is after we learned it could go and it is after we learned it could 9° up and it is after we learned it could go up again injanuary! our political correspondent david wallace lockhartjoins us now. david, there's no outline yet for how labour would fund this price freeze? yes, another rise in the price expected _ yes, another rise in the price expected in october, gives domino expected _ expected in october, gives domino expected to see that he doesn't want that prior— expected to see that he doesn't want that prior tries to go ahead. first reported — that prior tries to go ahead. first reported in—

food on the tinder dry beauty spot. after battling the flames all night, they found a disposable barbecue among the ashes. we really are appealing to members of the public to consider what you are doing. and if it is going to potentially start a fire, try to avoid it if you possibly can. this field fire near chelmsford was one of five tackled by crews in essex injust 24 hours. it covered 91 acres and containing it required the help of local farmers. if you are downwind you wouldn't have kept up with it running. luckily, the wind direction was away from the houses, and so it was just a question of stopping it spreading back towards the houses again, but when the wind changed direction, suddenly it would move towards you and, yes, it is frightening. in north london a grassfire billowed smoke across the busy m25 motorway.

moment, the people doing very, very well other people who are surviving and what we're seeing is increased pressure on the cost base of many different areas. it isn'tjust utility bills, it is basics like milk and flour that are nearly at 100%. vegetable oil as a result of what is going on in ukraine is up to 68%, and so consequently the businesses are facing cost pressures everywhere. some of this we are able to pass on to the consumer but then we just become part of the vicious inflationary cycle. find we just become part of the vicious inflationary cycle.— inflationary cycle. and on top of that ou inflationary cycle. and on top of that you have — inflationary cycle. and on top of that you have the _ inflationary cycle. and on top of that you have the recruitment l inflationary cycle. and on top of- that you have the recruitment issue as well, how difficult is it to get your rosters filled? the knee-�*erk reaction from fl your rosters filled? the knee-�*erk reaction from a i your rosters filled? the knee-�*erk reaction from a lot i your rosters filled? the knee-�*erk reaction from a lot offl your rosters filled? the knee-jerk reaction from a lot of operators i reaction from a lot of operators including some of our properties is that you end up having to cut the number of days that you are operating, and i'm sure it is something that a of people in the uk have seen this year, even in those very busy areas there are some businesses unable to operate seven

days a week. the net impact of that is reduced revenues which is ultimately going to mean reduced tax revenue for government, so what we're seeing is operators having cut rent, cut days are operating, which then increase the impact of the utility bills on businesses. ultimately, it feels that in some ways the impact of utility price increases could have a larger long—term damaging impact on the sector. long-term damaging impact on the sector. �* ., , ., ~' long-term damaging impact on the sector. �* ., , ., ~ sector. and do you think looking forward towards _ sector. and do you think looking forward towards the _ sector. and do you think looking forward towards the end - sector. and do you think looking forward towards the end of- sector. and do you think looking forward towards the end of this | forward towards the end of this period, the all—important christmas period, the all—important christmas period, do you look at consumers and worried they won't go out for that drink once a week? taste worried they won't go out for that drink once a week?— worried they won't go out for that drink once a week? we can't ignore it. the pressures _ drink once a week? we can't ignore it. the pressures we _ drink once a week? we can't ignore it. the pressures we are _ drink once a week? we can't ignore it. the pressures we are all - drink once a week? we can't ignore it. the pressures we are all facing l it. the pressures we are all facing from a cost—of—living perspective is that the way in which... the only benefit in a way that christmas is concerned is that the last two or three have been impacted by covid and i think consumers will be very

careful about how they spend the money. consequently, we want to continue what we have been doing which is building relationships with our guests, we have been doing a lot of charitable activity which is paying back in terms of loyalty to the communities in which we operate, but yes we have the ability to look at what we think the cost pressures are going to be, and we will have to plan accordingly. but across the industry there are a lot of people who probably don't have that privilege. consequently we have huge empathy for a lot of our competitors and others operating across the industry, and i think there are things the government should be looking to do to encourage growth and investment and survival in this sector. , ., ~ , ., , sector. philip, thank you, philip turner, founder— sector. philip, thank you, philip turner, founder and _ sector. philip, thank you, philip turner, founder and managing i turner, founder and managing director of the chestnut group, talking about the pressure they are under — high bills, vacancy rates, but also consumers and whether or not they can guide and more.

warning across much of england and wales, implications for health and transport as well, plan ahead with his very high temperatures and keep hydrated as well. still low cloud lingering for parts of north—eastern england and scotland, some thunderstorms were northern ireland and that pushed across the west of scotland through the morning into eastern scotland by the afternoon perhaps one or two sharp showers further south across england and wales as well but many places staying dry once again, and temperatures in the hottest spots, 31135 temperatures in the hottest spots, 3435 degrees today, turning a touch cooler from the northwest as those winds start to turn more northerly. heavy showers and thunderstorms in northern parts of ireland, heading into northern england and wales, could be some localised flooding where you see some of these heavy showers falling on that really hard and parched ground, and it will be another warm night with temperatures holding up in the mid to high teens, possibly not falling below 20 degrees in new south wales and england ash southern wales. there

will be more downpours around but we are not all going to be seeing them, the nature of the showers is they are hit and miss. you could see some localised flooding, some heavy, sharp downpours and some hail and thunderstorms mixed in, and still quite a warm day tomorrow, likely to be the eighth consecutive day with temperatures up above 30 degrees for some of us, but it is starting to cool in the north—west with temperatures in the high teens or low 20s. moving through tuesday, more of us are more likely to see some of those heavy showers, again they will be hit and miss, where they will be hit and miss, where they could be heavy in hungary, and further south across england and wales, one or two sharp showers, hail and lightning mixed in as well. likely to be down below 30 degrees in the mid to high 20s in the south and typically the high teens further

north so a change on the way as we moved to the middle part of the week, low pressure is close to the south so hopeful that we will be seeing a few downpours, when we really needed, but they are falling in and short space of time, and things look to be turning drier towards next weekend. let's hope some more rain sets into next week and. the let's hope some more rain sets into next week and-— let's hope some more rain sets into next week and. the headlines are on at eiuht next week and. the headlines are on at eight o'clock _ next week and. the headlines are on at eight o'clock after _ next week and. the headlines are on at eight o'clock after this _ next week and. the headlines are on at eight o'clock after this week's - at eight o'clock after this week's film review. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. i'mjane hill and with us for the summer looking at all the latest cinema releases is anna smith. hi, anna, good to see you again. hi. and what do you have for us? lovely mix, as always. first up we have nope, which is the latest film from horror directorjordan peele

starring daniel kaluuya. next up we've got eiffel, a romantic take on the engineer gustave eiffel. and then where is anne frank, which is an animation in which anne frank's imaginary friend comes to life. and that is really quite a mixture, isn't it? let's start with jordan peele, got a huge fan base. a lot of horror going on here, as well, documentaries not always my thing but i know people love him. ilove him. you know, i've been so excited about this film, i loved his films get out and i loved us. both, as you say, films in the horror vain but there's a lot of social commentary, very intelligent, very thought—provoking, all things i think we also have in his new film nope. and what is interesting there is we've got some genres kind of coming in here, there's quite a western flavour, a bit of sci—fi as well. so daniel kaluuya and keke palmer star as siblings who run a kind of hollywood training ranch for horses. so they've got this ranch, got all the horses and they serve hollywood. and they've been looking at the skies and seeing some

rather unusual things. let's have a look at the clip. 0k. it's in the cloud, it's in the cloud. oj, it's in the cloud! m—hm. yeah, no, no, no. run, oj, run! so, yeah. i'm already scared. as you can see, a little bit scary. there's a lot of things going on here but it is very visually stunning, as you can see there. hoyte van hoytema is a fantastic cinematographer who works with christopher nolan a lot.

and jordan peele has tried for this with using, a lot of the time, imax cameras so it looks spectacular. and it's actually about spectacle. the story itself looks at spectacle. it looks at not only how we look at things and what we are thinking when we look at them but also the sort of commercialisation of spectacle. so, of course, you've got hollywood, you've got the fact that these guys on the edges of hollywood, they're looking at the skies as well. also, one of their great goals is to capture whatever is up there for what they call the "oprah shot". they want to be famous, they want to make money and they want to get the "oprah shot". but there's also a lot going on here to do with animals because, obviously, this is a horse ranch. and there a lot about, do we use animals for entertainment, is that right? there's also a number of very disturbing sub—plots. one of these involves a tv studio in which something very bad happens involving a chimpanzee. it's a kind of flashback scene,

which also involves one of their neighbours who runs a kind of entertainment business. so a lot of great supporting characters but it kind of centres on this duo, this brother and sister who really have a very darkly funny, contrasting relationship. he's very introverted and she's very chatty. daniel kaluuya is terrific, isn't he? he is a fantastic actor. he's got a wonderful presence here. of course, he was in get out, jordan peele's incredible film which directly tackled the issue of race. they'll be no surprise that race comes into it here. the idea is that actually one of their ancestors was one of the first black men to appear on film and went unsung. so a lot going on here. i went away thinking loads, as usual, it kept me awake at night. possibly just about the lesser of the three of his films but still an excellent film. that's really interesting. i love his social commentary, i love the way it looks, he so creative. i'm just never brave enough to get to the end of the film. am i going to get to

the end of this one? you might make it halfway through. if you're a bit scared, just hide yourface. it's worth it, honestly. 0k. all right. a big thumbs up from you. for the film number two, yes, do we call it eiffel or ei—ffel? i'm going between the two because, of course, we say the eiffel tower but then gustave eiffel is his name. so, eiffel, if you like, it's a kind of fanciful drama. it's partly inspired by true life and what prompted him to make the eiffel tower and come up with this crazy plan. we first meet him, he's played by romain duris who is a wonderful french actor. we first meet him when he's becoming quite famous in paris and enjoying a certain amount of celebrity. he's obviously very revered for his skill and he has this audacious plan for this huge tower. but then the film decides that one of the reasons he's inspired to make this is an encounter with a long—lost love, played by emma mackey, who is actually, she the star of sex education, she's bilingual, she's part french. she's a lovely actress but i felt... i had a few problems with this. i don't know if you did too but one of them is that this is a very heart—stopping, lovelorn romance, maybe too many swooning shots for my liking. yes, i'm with you on that. ok, we get it, they really fancy each other. we get that, yes.

but also, i just felt it didn't really sit that easily with the story of the eiffel tower. it felt like two stories jammed together, didn't it? because the bits about the engineering and the tower and the architecture and could we manage to build something this heavy out of metal — this tall out of metal? all of that is completely fascinating. and the romantic story was sort of tacked on. i felt it was a shame, actually. it was a bit of a shame. great acting but... it would've worked if they just said, right, we're going to do a romance or are we just going to do that? but it's putting the two together. it didn't know what to be. also the age gap�*s completely inaccurate. it annoyed me quite a lot. there is an issue too. yeah, it's in the camp of not as good as it should be, i think. and choice number three this week? so where is anne frank, this is an intriguing animation. it's kind of aimed at other children, you might say, certainly a pg certificate. the idea is that anne frank's imaginary friend, kitty, the ones she wrote many letters to in her diary, actually magically comes to life in current—day amsterdam. she wakes up in the anne frank house and wonders, where's my friend? the idea is that she believes herself to be real and she believes

that her relationship with anne was real. so we then have these animated flashbacks to their conversations, which effectively bring the diary to life. let's have a look at the clip. 0k. the nazis came to power in germany and then they took over most of europe and marked us jews as the villains. they told everyone we were to blame for all the world's problems, disease, hunger, poverty, you name it. then the restrictions. first it was the swimming pools, after that it was everywhere. we were banned from concert halls, shops, sporting events, parks, hospitals, universities. and then they imposed a curfew. we weren't allowed to leave the house between sunset and sunrise. we thought life couldn't get any worse. that's when the children started disappearing. they'd send a letter ordering jewish kids to report to the nearest police

station the next day. it said something about a work camp for children. but we never saw them again. poignant stuff, as you can see. and i think it's probably aimed perhaps at children who are hearing the story for the first time. i was wondering that, yes. and what you have is kitty, in a way, a siphon for someone who is hearing the story for the first time because she doesn't know ann's fate. and she's running around contemporary amsterdam and trying to find out what happened to herfriend, anne frank. and the truth gradually dawns on her as she sees her friend. she's very confused about the statues of her friend everywhere, she's famous, but then, of course, she goes on this detective mission with a new friend to find out what actually happened to her. this is from ari folman who gave us waltz with bashir. so that was a very moving, more adult animation and i found

this similarly moving at the end. i know it's aimed at young people and, of course, i know the story, but i was in tears at the end of this. it really brings it home. oh, were you? it does bring it to a new audience, perhaps. it does and also i think they make contemporary parallels with the refugee crisis. it is quite current as well. so i do think it's a good one for older kids, if you want them to see this story. it is upsetting but i think it's told in quite a sensitive way. really interesting. ok, thanks very much. that's three choices for this week. there is a great film that you've chosen as best out. i'm so pleased you chose this. blind ambition. this is a triumph against adversity story. i love this, this is on curzon home cinema and also in cinemas. this is a story, it's a documentary, it's a story of four zimbabwean men who escaped violence and went to live in south africa, build new lives and they ended up forming a wine—tasting team for the world wine tasting championships in france. it's a sort of fish—out—of—water, comedy documentary in some ways. it's very light, it's very accessible, it's very funny in parts, but also, there is real heart there.

these are men who are finding their true calling in the unlikeliest of circumstances. and they are bonding and there's also plenty of culture clash with the french, naturally. and some very strong characters on the french side. for me, this was an enjoyable doc. and i think it's fascinating because you might think, oh, it sounds frivolous, it's about wine—tasting. how interesting can that be for an hour and a half? but there is really poignant stories as well. these are men who fled zimbabwe and told the story of how they crossed the border, takes us back to the refugee crisis, taking their life in their hands to find a better life. and it's really cleverly sewn together, i think. some really difficult circumstances that they came from. but flowering, really into an unusual passion on all their parts. it's inspiring, isn't it? delightfully made. they get that balance right. it's also partly about the kindness of strangers and people that helped him on thisjourney. it's a lovely story. it's a really good watch. striking and interesting. for anyone who wants to stay

at home, there's a great film but, my goodness, a sad one. benediction. this is a story of secrets to do with the war poet jack lowden. it's decades—spanning, it covers his life, this is terence davies biopics. and he does biopics very seriously, very well. i mean, we get a lot of his poetry, of course, and we get his post—war trauma. and then there is some brief levity in the �*20s when he is having various relationships with men. but, as you say, there is an underlying sadness to this very tragic story, ultimately. yes, yes. and really interestingly made, beautifully made, very creative but it doesn't shy away from the horrors of the first world war and lots of current actors today overlaid with images from the trenches, deeply upsetting. so it's quite a roller coaster in that way. it's a sedate film on the surface but it's quite a gut punch, actually, isn't it? i think it's more powerful dressed

as an elegant sort of period biopic but then it does hit you where it hurts when it has to. i think it's really well done. i recommend it for good home viewing. absolutely. all right, anna, thank you very much. really, really interesting week. see you next time. thank you and enjoy your movie choices, whatever they are at this week. see you soon. thanks for being with us. bye— bye. good morning welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. our headlines today. sir salman rushdie is said to be "talking and joking" again in hospital after being stabbed. a man's appeared in court charged with attempted murder. more disruption for rail passengers as major train operator, avanti west coast, slashes its timetable because of staff shortages.

a day after sir salman rushdie was stabbed, he is now said to be awake and off a ventilator. the author's condition has not yet been fully updated, but fellow writers have been tweeting their relief at finding out he's able to talk. michael hill, the president of the chautaqua institution where mr rushdie was attacked, tweeted his happiness at the news. this comes as the man accused of attempting to murder him appeared in court. 24—year—old hadi matar was arrested at the literary event. he had bought a ticket to attend. onlookers had held the suspect down as the author lay on the stage injured. i've been coming here for 31 years and this is one of the most peaceful, quiet places i've ever been in my life. and, you know, the guy has a price on his head from 1989. and, of all the places

he might be attacked or hurt or, god forbid, die, this would be the last place i would think of. inside court, wearing handcuffs and prison clothing. hadi matar pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder and assault. reports say that a law enforcement review of his social media accounts found he was sympathetic to the causes of the iranian revolutionary guards, a major military and political force in iran. it was in 1989 when iran's spiritual leader at the time placed a death sentence on sir salman. his book, the satanic verses, was considered an insult to islam and led to global riots, which killed 115 people. he went into hiding for nearly a decade, but in recent years shunned the high levels of security, saying he wanted to be able to live freely. ever since the attack on friday, world leaders have been issuing words of solidarity for sir salman rushdie. president biden released a statement praising the author for his refusal to be intimidated or silenced.

nomia iqbal, bbc news, pennsylvania. there could be more disruption for train travellers from today as avanti west coast introduces a reduced timetable of services, adding to problems created by a summer of rail strikes. the company, which operates trains between london the north west and scotland, says the new timetable will run until further notice due to "severe staff shortages". ramzan karmali has this report. just a day after the latest industrial dispute to hit the railways, another major disruption is hitting customers who use travel on avanti west coast services. a reduced timetable will see a big drop in services. avanti west coast normally runs seven trains per hour on the west coast main line. now it will run as few as four an hour. london, euston, and manchester services are the worst affected, with trains reduced from three per hour to just one.

avanti west coast blame the timetable reduction on the current industrial relations climate. prior to these cancellations, many of these trains were running as a result of drivers volunteering for overtime, but the number of volunteers has fallen sharply. this has led to an accusation from the transport secretary, grant shapps, that this is an unofficial strike. aslef deny that accusation. it says avanti west coast simply haven't hired enough drivers, and says that train companies in general have lost the goodwill of their employees. the labour mayors of both manchester and london put the blame of the dispute firmly at the door of the train company. all parties are a bit to blame, but for avanti to say that it's all down to the drivers who don't want to work on their rest days is actually pretty outrageous, because the drivers have every right not to work on their rest days, and indeed they get reasonable salaries, so if they don't want to work on their rest day, yes, it is difficult for avanti but they should have sorted this out

when they took over the franchise a couple of years ago. grant shapps has written to the mayors of the cities and he remains adamant that the fault of this lies with the union. he is calling for major reforms of the railways, but that's little comfort to the thousands who will face much tougherjourneys to their destinations. razman karmali, bbc news. our reporter anisa kadri is at london euston for us this morning, anisa, how is it looking, are there what sort of impact does this seem to be? i have spoken to a few people who are using avanti west coast services today. one couple had come down to see a concert,... manchester to london services are the worst affected, so they said they were having to change at liverpool, then go on to manchester. now, instead of

running three trains between london and manchester per hour, there is only one. that explains for them while theirjourney only one. that explains for them while their journey was only one. that explains for them while theirjourney was disrupted. there have been several air strikes this morning, —— several rail strikes. avante west coast this morning, —— several rail strikes. ava nte west coast says because of what it calls the current industrial relations climate that it is had to cut its timetable down, because drivers are making themselves unavailable for voluntary overtime at short notice, which is leading to short notice cancellations. this way, the company thinks it will provide a more reliable service. the driver's union, aslef, they say that any possibility of unofficial strike action is wrong, and the company needs to employ more drivers, so no agreement there, but what is clear is that the disruption is not going away anytime soon. there is more

disruption involving the rmt union next week. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, will use a speech tomorrow to call for a freeze to the energy price cap in the autumn. analysts believe the cap will rise to around three and a half thousand pounds in october — sir keir wants to keep the current price cap atjust under 2000 pounds for the average household. our political correspondent david wallace lockhartjoins us now. people are calling on whoever becomes the next four ministered do more to help families with the rising energy prices. labour have their own ideas, as we mentioned, how would they fund this price freeze that sir keir starmer is going to talk about? a,

freeze that sir keir starmer is going to talk about?— freeze that sir keir starmer is going to talk about? a big rise exected going to talk about? a big rise exoeeted in — going to talk about? a big rise expected in october, - going to talk about? a big rise expected in october, we - going to talk about? a big rise expected in october, we are i going to talk about? a big rise - expected in october, we are likely to hear from expected in october, we are likely to hearfrom keir starmer tomorrow, he would scrap that rise in the price cap we are expecting to hear. the big question is, how would this be funded? we will properly get more clarity tomorrow, but there's a hint a keir starmer piece in the sunday mirror, he wants to bring prices down by taxing huge profits. what is a government under the rishi sunak are liz truss going to do? we know that the treasury are considering a plan that would remove an allowance that suppliers can charge to consumers. there is a belief that that could say people are around £400 after the next price cap in january. there is also talk about whether this plan would ever see the light of day, because let's remember, the treasury may be coming up remember, the treasury may be coming up with ideas at the moment, the government is firmly of the view that it government is firmly of the view thatitis government is firmly of the view that it is for the next prime minister, whether that is for liz

truss or rishi sunak to enact new policies. what are their policies? we know that liz truss prefers the idea of tax cuts, but she has not ruled out the idea further help for households. she's written in the mail on sunday, i am about growth and investment rather than tax. taking £400 of peoples bills over the next six months because that is universal support, perhaps a hint they are that future support under that liz truss would not be universal. rishi sunak has talked about giving more money to the most vulnerable, and he is also today talking about legislating to make the country energy independent, producing all of its own energy by 2045. a huge fire which tore through a popular nature reserve at studland heath in dorset and forced the evacuation of a beach was most likely caused by a disposable barbecue, firefighters say.

the hot weather and drought conditions have led the met office to issue its highest alert forfire severity over the weekend, warning there is an "exceptional" risk of blazes spreading. will batchelor reports. the true cost of a disposable barbecue. firefighters say this huge blaze which tore across studland heath in dorset was almost certainly caused by picnickers trying to cook food on the tinder dry beauty spot. after battling the flames all night, they found a disposable barbecue among the ashes. we have had a significant number of fires over the summer that have been caused by disposable barbecues. it is a trend that is increasing, it is starting to cause a strain on all the emergency services. this field

fire was one _ the emergency services. this field fire was one of _ the emergency services. this field fire was one of 75 _ the emergency services. this field fire was one of 75 in _ the emergency services. this field fire was one of 75 in essex. - fire was one of 75 in essex. containing it required the help of local farmers. if you are downwind you wouldn't have kept up with it running. luckily, the wind direction was away from the houses, and so it wasjust a question of stopping it spreading back towards the houses again, but when the wind changed direction, suddenly it would move towards you and, yes, it is frightening. in north london a grassfire billowed smoke across the busy m25 motorway. in surrey, a different problem. near guildford, residents queued up for bottled water after their taps ran dry. thames water said there were technical issues at one of its treatment works, and that fixing it was taking longer than they'd hoped. and it isn'tjust humans who need hydration. one farmer in suffolk has been filling 70 water troughs each day to make sure the wildlife have enough to drink. an amber heat alert is still

in place today and the drought in parts of england could potentially last into next year. stricter controls are expected on water use as the dry conditions continue. five water companies have already announced restrictions, including hosepipe bans. our reporter alison freeman is in scarborough for us this morning. i see the list has lifted, what other messengers can we expect across the rest of the uk? this other messengers can we expect across the rest of the uk? as you sa , the across the rest of the uk? as you say. the sun _ across the rest of the uk? as you say. the sun is— across the rest of the uk? as you say, the sun is really _ across the rest of the uk? as you say, the sun is really starting - across the rest of the uk? as you say, the sun is really starting to l say, the sun is really starting to beat down now. people are starting to arrive, because they are heading to arrive, because they are heading to the coast to try to keep cool in these hot temperatures. one family we spoke to got to hear at 4am this morning to ensure they got a parking space. there are serious concerns about water levels. yorkshire water is going to become the fifth company

in england and wales to announce that they are introducing a hosepipe ban. that is going to come into effect on the 26th of august, and it makes them the first water company in the north to introduce a hosepipe ban. anotherfirst in the north to introduce a hosepipe ban. another first for yorkshire water, it could be that yorkshire is the first in the north to be an area that comes into drought. other companies across the uk that have introduced hosepipe bans are welsh water, southern water, ten splutter and south—east water. —— thames water. parts of devon, east anglia and lincolnshire are officially in drought. it is notjust the animals that are affected, we know that here, rivers and reservoirs are down 20%, it affects wildlife, and the drinking water in our homes. the

environment agency has approved special measures to stem the flow of water from one reservoir special measures to stem the flow of waterfrom one reservoir so special measures to stem the flow of water from one reservoir so that it can protect wildlife habitats. the environment agency says it wants to make it clear to people that they are drinking water and essential water supplies are going to be safe. they want people to think about how they're using the water, for example, taking shorter showers, only using house hold appliances when they are fully loaded, that they are saying that this effect could last into next year, and people really need to start rethinking. firefighters in france are tackling a number of huge wildfires across the country that spread after record droughts. a series of heatwaves has forced water restrictions to be introduced nationwide. our correspondent bethany bell is in the south west of france — we can see the devastation behind

you, are fires under control? taste we can see the devastation behind you, are fires under control? we are told that they _ you, are fires under control? we are told that they seem _ you, are fires under control? we are told that they seem to _ you, are fires under control? we are told that they seem to have - told that they seem to have contained the big fires here that they have not progressed, but the firefighters here are still on high alert. the reason is, if you look behind me, you can see the smoke rising. we were here yesterday in the same spot, we saw a fire team down this area to try and stop the fires here. there was rain overnight, but look, the smoke is still even now. there is a lot of peatin still even now. there is a lot of peat in this area, and there are smouldering embers underground. the firefighters are still trying to contain the situation here. we know that there have been teams out making fire breaks, trying to control the area, and over 1000

firefighters here have beenjoined by reinforcements from germany, from romania, from austria, from poland. it has been a punishing summerfor them, because there were big fires here injuly, and although the temperatures have cooled and there is expected to be more rain in the coming days, meteorologists say that won't be enough to really tackle the drought situation here. july in france was the driest since 1961, so really a very difficult situation here for the emergency services. 10,000 people were evacuated from their homes, but some were hoping that now, with a little bit of rain, they will be able to go home soon. they are not the only ones looking forward to a bit of rain. here is

the forecast. francis thankfully seeing a bit of change with the showers rolling in, and the same area of low pressure will bring some service to the uk. it will be a little bit hit and miss. still a warm and dry day for many of us, this is how it looks in kent. sunshine particularly towards the south and east, but also some thunderstorms. we have already seen them developing across parts of northern ireland, that they will spread into scotland too. extreme heat, and amber warning across the south—east, they could be indications for health and transport infrastructure. it is burning back towards the coast, so clearing up here, heavy showers and thunderstorms for northern ireland and west scotland this morning, just drifting east further into the

afternoon. i was a bit cooler than recent days when you have the showers in the north, that the could be large—scale as well as localised flooding. it's still about 34 or 35 degrees across southern england and wales, just the chance that we could see the odd shower for the likes of cumbria. the showers into the north—west will push into parts of england and wales by monday morning, but it is going to be another hot uncomfortable night. if you don't like the heat overnight, temperatures are holding on to the mid to high teens. some temperatures in the south not falling below 20 celsius all night. it is still pretty warm on monday, but there is a change of low pressure sites become more established across the eu, and we will draw on winds from a northerly direction, so a fresher feel here. later in the day, more widely developing across england and wales that could be one or two developing across norfolk and east anglia, when you do catch a heavy,

thundery downpour, there could be localised flash flooding. another layer temperatures above 30 degrees likely for central and eastern parts of england, but further north and west typically the high teens and the low 20s. things are cooling down, we will continue to see some downpours particularly for scotland and northern ingot, an increased chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms, and the potential that they could bring localised flash flooding for a sign. temperatures below 30 degrees at last by this stage, typically about 15 or 17 for northern ireland and scotland. low pressure stays close to us as we head through the middle of the week. for wednesday that is likely to pour some showers and across southern parts of england, in particular, where we really do need it. a bit of an unsettled picture through the middle part of the week, it does look like high pressure may build towards the end of the week and into next weekend, that for

here, something slightly fresher and wetter on the way to. one person has died and dozens more were injured — when high winds caused part of a stage to collapse at a dance music festival in spain. the incident happened at the medusa festival in cullera — a beachside town south of valencia. the six—day festival has been suspended. at times it was hard to tell what was noisier. the wind is whipping through the festival site or the pulsating music on the stage. thousands were attending this music event when the combination of hot temperatures and the sudden arrival of air because all sorts of problems. you can see the weight streamers and cables were blown away at high speed. a stretch of fencing

appears to have been blown over and had to be dragged away as people left the area. look at how these low—flying clouds sped through the night air. eventually, low—flying clouds sped through the nightair. eventually, emergency crews turning up, after part of the stage collapsed. here it was, in the light of day, the damage nature can cause. with the festival suspended, people began heading home. the party ending in the worst possible way. translation: we ending in the worst possible way. translation:— ending in the worst possible way. translation: ~ . ., ., translation: we were caught at the cam site, translation: we were caught at the campsite, suddenly _ translation: we were caught at the campsite, suddenly there _ translation: we were caught at the campsite, suddenly there was - translation: we were caught at the campsite, suddenly there was a - translation: we were caught at the campsite, suddenly there was a lot i campsite, suddenly there was a lot of wind, very hot air. all this sand started to move, we saw tent flying. it was chaos. the started to move, we saw tent flying. it was chaos-— it was chaos. the party is the least im ortant it was chaos. the party is the least important thing. — it was chaos. the party is the least important thing, said _ it was chaos. the party is the least important thing, said this - it was chaos. the party is the least important thing, said this man, - it was chaos. the party is the least | important thing, said this man, the important thing, said this man, the important thing, said this man, the important thing is that someone died. the organisers say they were devastated by what happened. what

was meant to be a joyous event, turning to tragedy. nearly 50,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in the uk every year, and survival rates are low, with around 16% of patients living for five years after diagnosis. early detection can make a difference and now there's new hope from a clinical trial at the royal papworth hospital in cambridge, where they're using a simple test to find new cases sooner. kate bradbrook reports. what is in this solution could be life changing. even life—saving. a liquid substance which is hoped can help detect lung cancer at an early stage. here at royal papworth hospital, it is being trialled for the first time in the world. and one of the first patients on the trial, 70—year—old wendy tait. my mother died of lung cancer, my father died of lung cancer, my grandmother died of lung cancer and, actually i was quite a heavy smoker

for quite a long time. it is what people did and ijust had a feeling that, what with my family history, that i could develop lung cancer, which i have. wendy's cancer is early—stage and it was only discovered by chance when she had a ct scan ahead of back surgery. now she wants to help others. first, a liquid is given via a drip and then it is a is—minute wait followed by a series of breath tests. we take a simple substance which we call the probe and this probe has a special type of alcohol in it. we know from our previous research that if you have a lung cancer, the probe goes around the body and the lung cancer processes the probe and releases the alcohol onto the breath.

if you have lung cancer we should be able to detect the probe and if you have not got lung cancer we should not see any alcohol on the breath. at the moment, these tests involve coming into hospital and being put on a drip. it is a fairly lengthy process. the hope is that in the future if these trials are successful that the test could be simplified and done at a gp practice or even at home. these early detection approaches, whether it is a breath test like we're trying to develop or a blood test, yes, if they work and we can roll them out into everyday immunity practice, it will save lives, absolutely. we want to push up lung cancer survival. it is welcome news for wendy who is having surgery tomorrow to remove her tumours. she hopes this research may give others in the future that same chance.

that could be life changing for so many people. now it's an increasingly common discussion isn't it? how much did you pay at the pump the last time you filled up the car? we had so much torque as it crept up towards £2, i paid £172 p yesterday, £1.64 in a more remote area. that was the cheapest i've seen for ages. it does seem very unpredictable how much they charge. and you see queues where it is slightly cheaper. however, one community—run garage in north yorkshire has increased its sales by almost 50% by selling fuel at wholesale prices. megan paterson reports.

holding your breath as you fill up at the pump has become part of life since fuel prices began increasing earlier this year. but in hawes in north yorkshire, there's a sigh of relief from motorists using the community garage. fuel at least iop cheaper than the nearest competitors. i'm just visiting friends here, so it is low. it's about £1.84 i think, at home, so it's considerably cheaper. i'm not really empty, but i'm taking advantage of this price, what it is. and would you come out of your way to come back here? probably, yes. there are no other fuel. stations anywhere nearby, so it's really important- that there is something locally because otherwise it makes living and working in the dales - just that much more difficult. the garage is leased by the upper dales community partnership, a not for profit company. more than 200 shareholders have invested. we are very, very prompt to move our prices according to the wholesale prices we're charged. so if the prices go up,

we quickly have to move them up to maintain our margins. if they come down, we'll reflect that as well in our prices. currently, i think we're amongst the first people in the country to fully reflect the current price, wholesale price of fuel in an area where rural cottages are hard to sustain. are hard to sustain, fuel sales here have gone up by almost 50% since before the pandemic. queues are frequent site traffic issues being managed as best as possible. jill, you must be the busiest woman in hawes. it's been nonstop in here. how busy has it been over the last few weeks? incredibly busy, but it's a good thing. i think it's good for hawes because it's bringing people here and i think local people should be very pleased that our prices are so fantastic, really. so yeah, incredibly busy. but i tell you, it makes the time go quick. but it's notjust about cheaper fuel. the revenue the garage generates helps subsidise the local bus service, the library and the post office. the nearest banks are 17 miles away

in either direction. so we really do need the post office. anything we can make from the garage or the bus service that ploughs back into this side so we can keep those services around for the public. it's hoped by autumn the garage will be bought by the community, securing its future and helping keep much needed services running. what a surprise that there is a queue! you are watching breakfast, stay with us.

hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. almost six months ago, thousands of ukrainian civilians joined the military to fight

invading russian forces. among those who signed up were members of one of ukraine's top rock bands, annitteela. they became army medics in kharkiv — helping to treat wounded soldiers. the bbcjoined them as they headed to the front line. it is russian mortarfire. come on, come on, come on. yeah. here. we're here, it's ok. come on. listen. i'm 0k. i'm the frontman of annitteela, a popular band in ukraine. now me, with my friends, serving in territorial defence forces. we are a paramedical team — paramedical squad. singing. we've been playing for more than 12 years. we released seven albums.

so we had a lot of big ukrainian tours, and we had three american and canadian tours. here, it is a front line. this is our position. this yacht was destroyed by russian mortar fire. it's far away. you know, blood smells disgusting for me. and also, when this smell compares with the smell of the shelling, with smell of the explosion, it's the most disgusting smell of my life.

after doing my duties, i call my wife and my kids. i have no tears any more. i'm tired to cry. ijust can't wake up, like a dream. i'm in a dream. and i want to wake up. wake up in my home. i don't want to lie that sometimes the sadness defeat me. i want to create a new album, new annitteela album after the war. we will need new kind of songs. songs of happiness.

with a smile on our face. if we will survive, we will do this. of course. the rock ukrainian band who signed up the rock ukrainian band who signed up and are working on the front line in ukraine. a reminder it is still happening and has not gone away. rising energy bills have been in the headlines all week, with the lib dems calling for october's energy price cap rise to be scrapped — and tomorrow, labour leader sir keir starmer will propose it's frozen at £2,000 per household, rather than rising to an expected £3,500. of course, all of this comes against the backdrop of a conservative leadership election, meaning any changes won't take effect until well into the autumn. joining us now is seb payne from the financial times, and marta gill

from the new statesman. very good morning to both of you this sunday morning. let's begin with keir starmer�*s promises to put an end to the autumn hike in energy prices. it an end to the autumn hike in energy rices. , ., ., , ., , prices. it is what lots of people will want to _ prices. it is what lots of people will want to hear. _ prices. it is what lots of people will want to hear. what - prices. it is what lots of people will want to hear. what will - prices. it is what lots of people will want to hear. what will it l prices. it is what lots of people i will want to hear. what will it due to the conservative leadership candidates? well they had to follow? i think it is a sensible idea. a lot of people will think in a way as the government not doing that? it follows an intervention by former prime minister gordon brown last week. he went much further than keir starmer and talked about nationalising the energy companies if they do not step up. with regards to the conservative party leadership contest, i am not sure it will change that much. we know whereby the candidates are. liz truss says she wants to focus on reducing

taxes. she did not want people to rely on hand—outs this autumn and has tried to roll back on that. rishi sunak has said he will do whatever it takes. he brought in several support packages earlier this year. keir starmer�*s intervention will increase the pressure. given we only have three weeks until this thing wraps and we will find out who the next prime minister is, they do not want to pre—sage a budget or any interventions, it does increase pressure on them to have fully formed plans when liz truss or rishi sunak to become prime minister. liz truss setting has still out in terms of putting money back into the hands of putting money back into the hands of people who work. —— setting her stool out. of people who work. -- setting her stool out. , ., . of people who work. -- setting her stool out. , . . ., , of people who work. -- setting her stool out. , . . ., . , stool out. her stance has marginally chanced, stool out. her stance has marginally changed. she _ stool out. her stance has marginally changed, she said _ stool out. her stance has marginally changed, she said she _ stool out. her stance has marginally

it is. it does leave a very bad situation because pretty much every day there are more and more stories and polls such a people are really struggling out there. there is the country about the fact things are going to get a lot worse. you feel the government is not there. because of the leadership contest, they do not feel they can do anything. this does not surprise me cattle. what i think is crucial is when liz truss and rishi sunak to come in, they had plans to roll out straightaway. because they know the situation, they know where the price cap is going on what needs to happen, i think it will have to be a direct intervention on the price cap to kind of ——, the kind of thing keir starmer and liz truss are talking about. that things both candidates are saying are not for the country, for the tory party members to decide

the next tory prime minister. when they go into number 10, they will have to change their stance quite radically. what the country needs is very different from what the tory party wants to hear. that is why there is a sense of drift at the moment, the sense the tory leadership is taking place in this bubble separate from the rest of the country. the bubble separate from the rest of the count . ., , ., ._ ., bubble separate from the rest of the count . ., , ., ., ., country. the conservative mayor of tees valley — country. the conservative mayor of tees valley saying, _ country. the conservative mayor of tees valley saying, he _ country. the conservative mayor of tees valley saying, he does - country. the conservative mayor of tees valley saying, he does not. tees valley saying, he does not think either rishi sunak all is trust appreciates or understands the scalable is happening, whether conservative members do not is another point. they would like the 160,000 people, all powerful in this, to vote early. do you think it is a done deal? do you think they have already cast their votes and the dyers pass?— have already cast their votes and the dyers pass? that is well polling would suggest _ the dyers pass? that is well polling would suggest and _ the dyers pass? that is well polling would suggest and what _ the dyers pass? that is well polling would suggest and what we - the dyers pass? that is well polling would suggest and what we are - the dyers pass? that is well polling| would suggest and what we are told to suggest that the momentum is

clearly on one side of the contest. we had robert buckland, member of the cabinet, very unusually publicly switching his allegiance from rishi sunak to liz truss. there is a huge amount to bits of evidence like that that liz truss is going to remain the front runner and will win. things are, i suppose by getting slightly more tricky for her in the following week because of the topic. of course her plans would be quite difficult, intensive, in terms of the maths. she is already promising tax cuts and will already do more spending. on top of that kind of scanner support packages that would be needed. her team must be wondering how it will work. where there will not _ wondering how it will work. where there will not the _ wondering how it will work. where there will not the maths _ wondering how it will work. where

there will not the maths matters. | there will not the maths matters. thank you, both for your time. let's catch up on all the sport. maths matters in football, i am afraid. manchester united once again, we have been here a few times talking about a new manager having their worst start possible in history, this time i think it might be, certainly per 100 years. it is very early in the season. it has given statistician something to talk about. their worst start, the most goals conceded. manchester united fans are not very happy, are they? for the first time

since the first week of the first premier league season, manchester united fans are waking up with their side bottom of the premier league table. manager erik ten hag called their defeat at brentford disappointing. he may well have used other adjectives in the dressing room. dan ogunshakin rounds up the best of yesterday's action. mutinous before kickoff, and desperate for some positivity, they were let down by their once reliable goalkeeper. horrible error by david de gea! and things got worse for the spaniard, and united, as brentford smelled blood. no wonder he's shaking his head. the hosts would add a third, then a fourth before half time to leave united bottom for the first time since 1992. commentator: manchester united have been shredded! _ shredded! it was clear that our performance was really. performance was really poor. when you start a game like this,

you make such mistakes, you cannot win a game. contrast the mood at the etihad where they got their first glimpse of erling haaland. the norwegian provided the assist for the opener on his home debut but would finish goalless. on this occasion, he would play second fiddle to kevin de bruyne who provided the magic in a 4—0 win. a former city striker seems to be the answer to arsenal's goalscoring prayers. gabrieljesus stole the show on his emirates premier league debut against leicester. commentator: jesus! what a way to score his first arsenal goal! the brazilian bagged a brace, as the gunners ran out 4—2 winners, to make it two wins from two for mikel arteta. 34 times they've faced each on the pitch, now, for the first time off it. lampard won 16 encounters to gerrard's ii, but the latter side would draw first blood here through danny ings. it was gerrard who would take the victory on this occasion, as emiliano buendia's second—half goal left lampard to reflect on a 2—1 defeat. defensively, we've got to handle the ball better and not leave ourselves open.

in the last ten minutes, we should have drawn the game. zero points but an awful lot of questions. dan ogunshakin, bbc news. brighton and newcastle drew 0—0. southampton came from behind to draw with leeds, whilst wolves and fulham was also goalless. the big game today sees chelsea take on tottenham. celtic have the chance to return to the top of the scottish premiership this afternoon. they travel to kilmarnock at lunchtime, needing a four—goal win to replace rangers. giovani van bronckhorst�*s side cruised to a third straight league win with a 4—0 triumph over stjohnstone. wins elsewhere for motherwell, livingston and st mirren. it's been a great week for dan evans at the canadian open, beating some big names such as andrey rublev, taylor fritz and tommy paul — but his run is over, losing in the semi—finals after a three—set defeat to pablo carreno busta.

evans actually became the first player at the tournament to take a set off the spaniard, after losing the first set he won the second in a tie—break. carreno busta took the third set 6—2 though, after an exhausting three hours, but evans' recent performances should see him move close to the top 20 in the rankings. great britain will be optimistic of adding to their medal tally in the rowing at the european championships in munich later after delivering four golds. both the men's and women's four became european champions, the women holding off ireland to take gold. the team finished 4th in tokyo but a new look quartet impressed. the women's eight and men's single sculls are among the medal chances today. alice kinsella made it two silvers so far in gymnastics — helping great britain to second place in the team final. alongside ondine achampong,

jennifer and jessica gadirova, and georgia mae—fenton, they were just beaten by italy, who they pipped to the podium at last year's olympics. britain's kieran riley won silver in the men's bmx. he looked destined for goal before being pipped by antonyjeanjean of france. pfeiffer georgi won track cycling silver in the women's elimination race. at the european aquatics championships in rome, britain won three medals on saturday — two bronzes and a thrilling gold in the women's 4 by 100 metre freestyle relay. at the bottom of your screen, freya anderson — who swam in the 200 semi finals earlier in the evening — brought the gold home, just ahead of sweden and the netherlands. salford red devils beat huddersfield 33—16 to keep themselves in the hunt for the superleague play—offs joe burgess ran almost the full length of the field for one of their six tries.

salford stay seventh, huddersfield remain in third. there were two double headers in the hundred. in the women's game, trent rockets easily beat manchester originals, thanks in part to this, australian spinner alana king taking the first hat—trick in a women's hundred match. she took four wickets on her debut to help bowl the originals out for 76, the rockets winning by 43 runs. and in the men's game, rockets beat originals by 8 wickets. dawid malan was 98 not out. they've now won three from three. while originals have lost three from three. elsehwere, birmingham phoenix beat welsh fire in both the men's and women's games.

back to the football for a moment. it may only be matchday three — not too soon to bring up the keeper for a shot on goal. that was the case for queens park rangers, who were 2—1 down to against sunderland, seny dieng came up in the 92nd minutes. channeled his inner striker with a flawless header to rescue a point for the visitors. i love that! jamie glass, 1999, last game of the season. came up and scored the other and stop them being relegated out of the football league. i can keep going. i think our director was a carlisle fan. every bit of information i'd throughout, he knew. that is the stuff that dreams were made of. thank you very much. this is a

fetive endeavour as well, to be honest. —— the of endeavour. if you were watching yesterday you might have seen 82 year old nick gardner who was about to set off and climb his 282nd scottish peak in two years. he set himself the challenge of climbing all of scotland's munros, that's a mountain or hill over 3,000 feet and we're pleased to report — he made it. here his is at the top of cairn gorm, the final munro. he took on the challenge two years ago after his wife was taken into care after being diagnosed with alzheimer's and then began raising money for charity. he is now officially a "munro bagger" after climbing all of them. absolutely fantastic. one of his daughters is going to put him forward for a guinness world record. he started and did them all in his 80s. he started and did them all in his 805. all he started and did them all in his 80s. all in honour of his wife and to raise awareness. a very worthy

different timing because of the seasonis different timing because of the season is down south in the southern hemisphere are different. this one is showing a pattern more akin to our gulls in the northern hemisphere and that is why we think it is coming from a more northerly population. coming from a more northerly population-— coming from a more northerly --oulation. , , population. interestingly, you say he is a keen _ population. interestingly, you say he is a keen photographer. - population. interestingly, you say he is a keen photographer. he - population. interestingly, you say i he is a keen photographer. he wrote a the which is all about gulls. back for the rest of the holiday. that's all from us on breakfast today — jon and sally will be back from six o'clock tomorrow morning. goodbye.
