good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... raising awareness of bowel cancer — the mother of dame deborahjames speaks for the first time about her daughter's legacy and final weeks. we were given three to five days — deborah lived eight weeks. that eight weeks was probably, in one way, the best eight weeks we've had together as a family. as thousands of british airways staff get a 13% pay rise — is your pay keeping up with rising costs? we get the latest numbers on wages today — expected to show most pay rises being eaten up by most things costing more. having fun during the summer holidays, despite the

cost—of—living crisis. we hear from the charity helping families who are struggling to make ends meet. liverpool's frustrating start to the season continues as their new summer signing darwin nunez sees red — before luis diaz rescues a point against crystal palace. good morning. a cooler day ahead today, the rain we have at the moment across southern and eastern scotland were clear, leaving righteous skies behind. dryerfor northern ireland but still the risk of heavy thundery downpours almost anywhere across england and wales. they will be hit and mist. i will have all the details later. it's tuesday 16th august. our main story. dame deborahjames raised millions for charity and was an inspiration to so many people living with bowel cancer. now her mum heather has spoken for the first time since her daughter's death, to our reporter graham satchell, about her final days with deborah —

and her long—lasting legacy. dame deborahjames, surrounded by herfamily at her mum and dads house. in the final weeks of her life, deborah's mum heather became her main carer. i think the hardest thing was knowing she was going to die. my heartache was knowing, as a mother, i couldn't do anything about that. and i think that was the hardest for me to cope with — knowing that she was getting weaker — but stronger mentally, but weaker bodily. and...i couldn't help her. we had some good times. i can remember lying in bed probably just about a week or so before she died,

and she was quite poorly that night. and she went, "i do love you." and i went, "yeah, i love you." and she went, "i have no regrets, you know?" and i went, "that's brilliant." you know, how many people could say that? but she did say, "i don't want to die." and that's the hardest, saddest part. deborahjames was diagnosed with bowel cancer when she was just 35. she spent the next five years campaigning for better treatment, and raising awareness. because i get bitterly angry about the whole thing — like, even listening to your stories... she recorded every part of her diagnosis with extraordinary honesty. you can tell i'm in a really bad place at the moment because i'm back on treatment, and every single time i'm back on treatment, i'm like, "i don't want to be here!" like, "i don't want to be back on treatment." i mean, every time i met her, she was this kind of incredible ball of energy, and kind of fizzing

ideas and determination. was she like that as a little girl? totally. totally, as a little girl. as a baby — i think she came out like that. never got any sleep at night with her when she was born, for many years. and when she died, we didn't. so i think it's going back to nursing her — for me, as a mum, that way. she was so full of energy. always was... always needed to be doing something. never had enough hours in the day. and... ..even when she was so poorly with cancer, she made the most of it. in the last few weeks of her life, deborah finished a book — which is published this week — she launched a clothing range... ..and started the bowelbabe fund, raising millions of pounds for cancer charities. i still find that amazing, that she had the love

of the people out there, and that meant a lot. it's meant a lot to the family, and it still does. did it feel like a help at the time? yes. i think i could not have coped. 0k, we were given three to five days — deborah lived eight weeks. that eight weeks was probably, in one way, the best eight weeks we've had together as a family, even though she died at the end of it. how can you not love what she did in that eight weeks? and...it did help, knowing other people loved her and wanted to...help in any way they could. deborah was honoured with a damehood by prince william. the investiture took place in heather's garden. we weren't told till the evening before, and everybody was obviously shocked. everyone was totally overwhelmed,

but it was amazing. my first thing was, "i need a new lounge." if he's coming in here — no, i need to get new...everything! but he put us so much ease when he came in and, but he put us so much at ease when he came in and, you know, it was amazing. and he was just like one of my son—in—laws, and he just sat down with us and he was so lovely. i think he is a people's king. # and you can tell by the way - i use my walk i'm a woman's man. # no time to talk. deborah persuaded her mum to start using instagram. she became the boleran to deb's bowelbabe. she pushed me beyond my limits to do things that i would never do, and that is what i will miss because she gave me the confidence to do things that i didn't think i could do. she pushed me and i'm hoping i can

use that force that she had to get me to do things and i will pull on that in the future. and post it on instagram. hopefully! "things can get really serious when you're in a situation like mine, and everything is a matter of life or death." deborah's new book is an intimate account of her life with cancer and how to make the best of the worst times. "i really believe that it's ok to laugh — even in moments of darkness or sorrow." i said to her, "i don't know what i'm going to do when you go." and she went, "you will continue and you will enjoy life." and i went, "but i don't know if i can." and she went, "then you haven't done mejustice." so i think we all have to. # there were nights. of endless pleasure... notjust live life — enjoy living life, and live it to the best that we can. so i think we owe that to deborah. # when you touch me like this.

# and when you hold me like that. # it was gone with the wind. # but it's all coming back to me. # when you see me like this... how they're speaking about her daughter deborah to graham satchel. you can see why deborah got the strength and determination, from her mum. dame deborahjames: the last dance is a documentary celebrating deborah's life and legacy, and is available to watch on bbc iplayer. iurge i urge you to watch it, it is amazing. we'll be speaking to genevieve edwards from bowel cancer uk just after 7am, about how dame deborah's legacy is continuing. we have the real statistics of people who have come through to get checked out so we will get the latest information. as the cost of living really starts to bite, you may be wondering whether your pay will cover the ever—rising bills.

neil is looking at the numbers, how are you? neil is looking at the numbers, how are ou? ., ~ , are you? good morning. a pay rise -- nina. we would _ are you? good morning. a pay rise -- nina. we would have _ are you? good morning. a pay rise -- nina. we would have to _ are you? good morning. a pay rise -- nina. we would have to get _ are you? good morning. a pay rise -- nina. we would have to get a - are you? good morning. a pay rise -- nina. we would have to get a chunkyl nina. we would have to get a chunky one to even feel like you are treading water compared to this time last year. good morning. yes, with everything from food to fuel costing a whole lot more, you'll have noticed your money isn't going as far as it used to. that's because inflation — the rate at which prices are rising — is at a ao—year high. prices are more than 9% higher that they were a year ago. so when that's taken in to account — if you take out bonuses — average pay has fallen by almost 3%, the fastest drop since records began in 2001. the change in your wages depend on where you work. there's a big gulf between those in the public and private sectors. nurses will see their pay go up by 4%. teachers and police officers have been offered 5% depending on their grade. compare that to the average private sector pay increase of 7.2%

between march and may. and last night we learned that thousands of staff at british airways staff are getting an average 13% pay rise. everybody wants a fair deal. but there's a worry. if everyone gets paid more, prices keep going up, and inflation keeps soaring. it's obviously good for living standards. but the concern is that inflation could become embedded if workers start demanding higher wages to keep up with rising costs of living. so the concern is that, if firms can't meet those high wages through lower profits or higher productivity, then they end up passing on those wages through higher prices, which then further fuels inflation. and some of you will no doubt be saying, "i'm not getting a pay rise at all!" for lots of people that is true — despite prices continuing to climb. some economists think inflation will peak at 13%. and we know the energy price cap for gas and electricity is going up in october.

the average yearly bill is set to increase to more than £4,200 by january. i'll have the latest update on how your pay compares to rising pricesjust after 7:00. we will have a really good comparison of private and public sector and also how inflation is eating into any pay rises and this is why we are seeing so much discontent. lawyers, police officers, doctors, nurses talking about whether they should take industrial action because at 5%, even that is no when you have high prices are going. qm. even that is no when you have high prices are going-— even that is no when you have high prices are going. ok, for now, thank ou ve prices are going. ok, for now, thank you very much _ prices are going. ok, for now, thank you very much indeed. _ the conservative leadership race moves to scotland tonight as liz truss and rishi sunak take part in a hustings in perth. we're joined now by our political correspondent ione wells, who's in westminster. what is the focus of this debate in perth likely to be tonight? i what is the focus of this debate in perth likely to be tonight?- perth likely to be tonight? i think the focus is _

perth likely to be tonight? i think the focus is going _ perth likely to be tonight? i think the focus is going to _ perth likely to be tonight? i think the focus is going to be _ perth likely to be tonight? i think the focus is going to be how- perth likely to be tonight? i think the focus is going to be how both j the focus is going to be how both candidates plan to take on the snp. nicola sturgeon. preventing further rises in support for independence in scotland. this will be a key focus of their campaign up there. to put it bluntly, borisjohnson was not particularly popular in scotland. he wasn't somebody who was active, and campaigning in the scottish government elections back in 2021. a number of scottish conservatives were among the first to publicly distance themselves from boris johnson, so both candidates will be under pressure to show how they can rebuild that tory brand in scotland. they both made a number of pledges about how they would try and help the scottish government to account more. liz truss has said that as well as boosting more trade deals to increase exports of things like scottish whisky, she wants to give members of the scottish parliament more legal protections to hold scottish ministers to account on a legally sensitive issues, which is a privilege that mps here in westminster. meanwhile rishi sunak

has said he wants top civil servants in scotland to be more accountable to politicians here in westminster, he wants uk ministers here in westminster to be more visible in scotland, as well, and has also said he wants public services in scotland publish more data to make it easier to make comparisons between, for example, how the nhs, which the scottish government is in charge of, is performing compared to the nhs in england. so these are a number of pledges that i think one of the key things to look out for is how far they go on some of the personal attacks of the snp and scottish government. remember liz truss in her hustings in exeter got a big round of applause and cheers for calling nicola sturgeon an attention seeker and saying the best thing to do would be to ignore her book rishi sunak called those comments complacent and dangerous and certainly i have heard from a number of scottish conservatives that while she might have got big cheers for those comments in exeter, it didn't go down as well with some scottish

conservatives. 0ne scottish conservatives. 0ne scottish conservative telling me that we can't just conservative telling me that we can'tjust bury our heads in the sand and pretend like the problem isn't there. so i think it'll be interesting to see how far or not some of that language goes tonight when it comes to personally talking about sturgeon, as well.— about sturgeon, as well. thank you very much- — about sturgeon, as well. thank you very much- we _ about sturgeon, as well. thank you very much. we have _ about sturgeon, as well. thank you very much. we have three - about sturgeon, as well. thank you very much. we have three weeks i about sturgeon, as well. thank you j very much. we have three weeks of this left until they make the announcement?— this left until they make the announcement? that's right. we ex - ect announcement? that's right. we expect that _ announcement? that's right. we expect that announcement - announcement? that's right. we expect that announcement on i announcement? that's right. we| expect that announcement on the announcement? that's right. we - expect that announcement on the 5th of september but a busy week this week with both those hustings in scotland but also in northern ireland when i think we can expect lots of discussion about brexit and about about trade issues between great britain and northern ireland that were agreed as part of the brexit deal so i think that will be a big focus for the rest of the week, as well. we a big focus for the rest of the week, as well.— a big focus for the rest of the week, as well. we will and talk about it again. _ week, as well. we will and talk about it again. thank _ week, as well. we will and talk about it again. thank you - week, as well. we will and talk about it again. thank you very | week, as well. we will and talk- about it again. thank you very much for now. let's talk to carol for the first time and we finally saw some rain yesterday!

and a deluge! we are starting with some rain in parts of the country. today we will have again scattered thunderstorms. a good way of describing it because not all of us will catch one, but like yesterday, if you get one it could be torrential and it could lead to some flash flooding. this morning we have more persistent rain across southern and eastern scotland. that will move away and it will brighten up, drying up away and it will brighten up, drying up across northern ireland, but for england and wales this is where we are prone to those thunderstorms. don't take this distribution of them as gospel. they could be anywhere, but as i mentioned is not all of us will catch one. the other thing is we have a brisk northerly wind, so today will feel cooler across the board than yesterday stuck yesterday's top temperature was in lincolnshire, 32.1 celsius. today is more likely to be around 26. as we head through the evening and overnight, we hang on to some of those thunderstorms. still some of them will be torrential. clearer skies moving in across scotland and

parts of northern ireland, and still this brisk wind coming down the north sea and also done the west coast, as well. fresh across the north of the country, nine to 11 degrees, but still in the far south—east it will be quite uncomfortable for sleeping. in due tomorrow, here are our thunderstorms. pushing south—eastwards, becoming largely confined to southern areas through the day. brightest skies the most part across the north and west, but you can see our next weather front waiting in the winds and these are our temperatures. 12 to 25 point thank you very much. we will catch up a little bit later. let's take a look at today's front pages. the news that the uk has become the first country to approve a dual variant vaccine leads many of this morning's papers. the times reports that over—50s are likely to be offered the jab as part of a booster campaign due to begin within a month. according to the telegraph, the royal navy is going to stop its operations in the channel aimed at stopping small boats bringing migrants across from france.

it reports that the navy will be handing back control to the border force at the end of january unless ministers intervene. i guess that is another thing for the new prime minister to think about, isn't it? the daily express carries the story that conservative leadership contender liz truss says she will reject scottish first minister nicola sturgeon�*s demand for another scottish independence vote. and the guardian takes a look at some of the extreme weather we've been seeing this summer — as downpours and flash flooding replace last week's heatwave. there were some pretty dramatic pictures around in cornwall and campsites washed out of. i pictures around in cornwall and campsites washed out of. i know we have been waiting _ campsites washed out of. i know we have been waiting for _ campsites washed out of. i know we have been waiting for the _ campsites washed out of. i know we have been waiting for the rain - campsites washed out of. i know we have been waiting for the rain but i have been waiting for the rain but it hasn't been great news for everyone. it hasn't been great news for everyone-— it hasn't been great news for eve one. , , everyone. just run off those places stuck in a let's _ everyone. just run off those places stuck in a let's look _ everyone. just run off those places stuck in a let's look at _ everyone. just run off those places stuck in a let's look at the - everyone. just run off those places stuck in a let's look at the inside i stuck in a let's look at the inside pages. this is great, it is about a classic car. maybe not the classic car you would immediately think of. and thinking bentley... ha.

of mariupol in the southern city of ukraine, and two other british nationals have also been charged, but so far, according to those reports, we understand they do not face possible execution. pictures yesterday of these men in a cage during those proceedings. the session was held behind closed doors and, again, this is a breakaway region in the east of ukraine, foreign governments do not recognise the legitimacy of the trials and again, not the first time foreign nationals have been accused of being mercenaries. these accusations that friends and relatives deny, reject, but so far governments have refused to engage and negotiate with these authorities in the so—called people's republic. we authorities in the so-called people's republic. we have heard volod m r people's republic. we have heard volodymyr zelensky _ people's republic. we have heard volodymyr zelensky calling - people's republic. we have heard volodymyr zelensky calling on - people's republic. we have heard i

volodymyr zelensky calling on tough new sanctions for russia to be imposed because of ongoing tensions surrounding europe's the largest nuclear plant. what has prompted this? , ., , ., nuclear plant. what has prompted this? , ., ., , this? yes, four days we have been talkin: this? yes, four days we have been talking about _ this? yes, four days we have been talking about tensions _ this? yes, four days we have been talking about tensions around - this? yes, four days we have been talking about tensions around this | talking about tensions around this nuclear facility in the south of ukraine. russia and ukraine trading accusation of who is to blame shelling the complex. the ukrainians accused russian forces of essentially turning this nuclear facility into a military base, using it to launch attacks against ukrainian targets, perhaps knowing that ukraine is unlikely to retaliate. russians reject those accusations, saying russian troops are there protecting the facility, and last night president zelensky accused russia of nuclear blackmail, urged countries to impose more sanctions on moscow, and there have been growing calls for the creation of a demilitarised zone or even for international monitors to be allowed

into this complex but so far we haven't seen any suggestion, any indication that the deal is likely to be reached anytime soon thank ou. while fighting in ukraine could continue for months or even years, some efforts are already under way to repair the damage. later in the programme we'll be speaking to a scottish footballer who's swapped saving goals for saving lives as part of a team of charity workers helping to dispose of hidden landmines. but first alice key reports on the deadly devices hidden across the country. 0n hands and knees, looking for landmines in a field outside kyiv. it is meticulous work. sticks mark the spot, the soil carefully cut away. a mine is unearthed. close by, a reminder of what's at stake. this van drove over an anti—tank mine. the driver lost both his legs. it's a massive scale, given the nature of the conflict, and it's very difficult to put

estimates on how long. there's huge work ahead and we're talking years, maybe decades, to clear ukraine. what we see at halo is impact on the local level. the ukrainian government says nearly a third of the country — some 116,000 square miles — is contaminated by explosives. they predict it could take a decade to mark the land as safe. when princess diana stepped into a minefield in angola, the world was paying attention. she was accused of being too political by calling fora landmine ban. i'm only trying to highlight a problem that's going on all around the world. she didn't live to see the legacy of her work, butjust three months after her death, an international treaty to ban landmines was introduced. it was eventually signed by 164 countries. and the land she once stood

on eventually became part of a city. her son would retrace her steps 22 years later. alice key, bbc news. we'll be joined by kieran mcculloch and mike newton from the halo trust, the charity involved in the de—mining project, and they will talk us through it. you cannot imagine the stress and the provision —— lack of precision involved. that is just after 9am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. there are only about 5,000 monkeypox vaccination doses left in the country, according to the uk health security agency. it said it had secured one of the highest number of doses in the world, but that global issues means

one—hundred—thousand doses won't be made available until september. over 2,000 londoners have had monkeypox so far. heathrow airport has announced its going to extend the cap on passenger numbers to the end of october. the measure was introduced last month to try to reduce flight delays and cancellations. the airport says it wants to provide passengers with confidence ahead of the half term holidays. a boy from woodford has made history by being the first with a patka, which is sikh religious headwear, to model for burberry. a photo of four—year—old sahib wearing the iconic brand's clothes for their children's campaign has gone viral gaining lots of postive comments. sahib's mother, harjot, said she entered her son into modelling as a way of increasing his self—confidence. i think it's really impacted people in a big way, and they've really enjoyed it and, you know, people saying, "my dad's crying because they never thought they'd see something like this." "my mum's really happy." someone said he was their mum's whatsapp profile picture. she doesn't even know us! yeah, she'sjust so happy for it, yeah. people are really proud. people in wandsworth and putney

are calling for riverboat services to run on weekends. at the moment the thames clipper operates on weekdays, but only during rush hour. locals claim extending the service would help cut traffic, pollution and support the growing numbers living in the area. a spokesperson for uber boat said they are continually reviewing routes to meet passenger demand. let's take a look at how tfl services are running this morning. there's severe delays on the overground. everything else seems to be running smoothly at the moment. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another warm night last night, but the temperatures slowly starting to cool. today, the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for thunderstorms — perhaps more frequent than yesterday. now, it's a cloudy start this morning, we've had one or two showers, but we'll see more frequent showers coming up from the south through the course of the day — again, not everywhere will see them, but if you do, sharp and some rumbles of thunder — temperatures cooler at 25 celsius today. now, overnight tonight, that risk continues, we'll still see some further showers again, potentially some

rumbles of thunder — they could be quite sharp. quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. temperatures of 15 celsius overnight. now, for tomorrow, the low pressure starts to drift east, but we are still under the influence. it is going to be another unsettled day and the met office has another yellow weather warning in place for thunderstorms. now, they could be heavy, drying out to a certain extent through the afternoon, but that cloud hanging around — perhaps breaking towards the end of the day, giving some sunny spells. temperatures cooler still for tuesday, with a maximum of 22 celsius. now, for friday, saturday — that's looking dry. but for sunday, conditions turn wetter and rather windy. thats it from me. lots more on our website including the roll out of the monkeypox vaccine, and dont forget to follow us on our social media channels for the latest breaking news in london. now its back to sally and jon. bye for now.

jayne mccubbin has been to a theme park to find out more. are we excited? cheering. these are the children of the rock ferry estate in wirral. go, go, go, get on the bus. get on the bus! today, they and their parents are being given a free trip to a theme park to ease the pressures of the cost—of—living crisis. we are an area of long—term deprivation. people are finding it so much more difficult. see you, liverpool! there's a lot of working families here. yes. and people just can't do the hours and the extra shifts that they need to get the extra income that they need. is everyone really excited? cheering. for laura, lee, joseph and avaya, today's free treat from the neo community centre will be the only treat of the summer holidays. i'm currently working for the nhs.

my husband sorts the children out. usually in the school holidays, previously, we have done our own thing. we've had that financial ability to do so. but this year is very different. is this going to be the outing this summer? this is the outing of the summer holidays! are they excited? very. there's slides where you sit in this little log boat. you go up, it's like a roller—coaster, and then you go down and you get absolutely soaking. i like that one. i like all of the rides. this is going to be a good day, you go for it! three quarters of children living below the poverty line here in the uk live in households where at least one parent works. work is not a guaranteed route out of poverty. i mean, it's difficult now, especially with the electric. it's going to go up again in october and we're just getting by now. and your landlord's just put the rent up. yeah, our landlord's just put the rent up, served us an eviction notice if we didn't agree to the rent increase.

which they can't afford to do. the only certainty they now face is that prices will continue to rise, things will get more difficult, and next year they will be evicted. so to be able to come out and give them this day, you know, with everything... few will escape this squeeze — even with two salaries coming into their household, life for the 0'dowds has changed. little bit of a pinch now. yeah. reel off the many and varied places you would normally be traveling to in the summer holidays. benidorm, turkey, new york. disneyland! portugal and disneyland. and this year? we've been to butlins. it's tough, isn't it? cos you've got two good incomes coming in and you just can't afford to do the things you used to do. no. dad lee tells me he's working overtime every possible weekend. once i stop working overtime, that's really where it

hits you in the pocket. do you notice dad's working more, elliot? i had to explain to them, when you're on your own, "dad, can you come home?" "no, i'm working tonight." i say to me little lad that i'm just going for milk. rather than going for a long time. you're working every weekend overtime, just to stand still, basically. yeah. it stays like this, it's what we want. make the most of it. exactly. lee did have a steadyjob before the pandemic, but mental—health struggles meant he had to leave. and now, with the pandemic over, none of those struggles are getting easier. do you feel the impact of stress at home? definitely. i do majorly, i kind of shut down sometimes when it comes to the finances. i kind of bury my head. screaming. then it comes out in a bit of an argument and a bit of a tizz, really, doesn't it? you feel like, you know, you just feel like the whole. .. trying to keep it together, basically. desperate. yeah, desperate.

and that's what makes days like this priceless. yeah, definitely. because you're out of the house, you know, you're not worrying about anything. the kids are having fun, even though it's raining, you know, it's not bothering us. but as long as they're happy, we're happy. that's why i'm standing in the rain in t—shirt and shorts! yes! one, two, three... this community relies on this help, but this community would like to see more help from government. families need more help. politicians coming up with ideas about what that mean. the liberal democrats are calling for a freeze on rail fares and an energy price cap —

claiming their proposals could save families £2,000 a year. sarah 0lney from the partyjoins us now. good morning to you. we can sum this up good morning to you. we can sum this up as a double freeze, is that right? up as a double freeze, is that ri . ht? ~ up as a double freeze, is that riuht? ~ ., �* , up as a double freeze, is that riuht? ~ . �* , ., right? well that's right, we have obviously been _ right? well that's right, we have obviously been calling _ right? well that's right, we have obviously been calling ing - right? well that's right, we have obviously been calling ing over. right? well that's right, we have l obviously been calling ing over the last week for a freeze on the energy price cap in october. because we think there is no way that households are going to be able to afford this without widespread hardship and that is important that urgent action is taken now to manage that forfamilies. what urgent action is taken now to manage that for families. what we are also anticipating is a huge rise in rail fares for people who commute to work and we are calling on the government to scrap that. the government are in charge of regulated fares on the trains that get people to work. and what we are expecting to see the inflation figures forjuly will be out tomorrow, we are expecting to see another rise in inflation and it

is that rate that will be used to determine the fare rises injanuary. we expect to see 11.8% tomorrow and thatis we expect to see 11.8% tomorrow and that is how much the fares go up in january. we are calling on the government to scrap that at a time when people are already going to be struggling with food and fuel cost rises, mortgage payers will be struggling with interest rate rises and all sorts of innation. —— inflation. we think if they were to scrap the rail fare inflation. we think if they were to scrap the railfare rise, for those families who are commuting, particularly in london, from places like guilford and i know a lot of front line workers in the nhs, they can't afford to live in london and they are commuting. and we know we

are suffering labour shortages across the public sector. so if rail fares go up, that could be the thing that causes them to leave theirjob. the government have indicated that the big increase that will happen linked to inflation won't happen, we will wait for a new prime minister, but on the issue of freezing rail prices, how relevant is that to the families that we have seen there relying on a charity to take them to a theme park? they don't know how to pay their domestic bills, they're thinking about their heating and their shopping, thinking about their heating and theirshopping, i don't thinking about their heating and their shopping, i don't know how many of them will be commuting to work on the train. how does that tie into people like that? we work on the train. how does that tie into people like that?— into people like that? we are talkin: into people like that? we are talking of— into people like that? we are talking of the _ into people like that? we are talking of the people - into people like that? we are talking of the people who - into people like that? we are talking of the people who are commuting to work and the extra cost they're experiencing. firstly it limits opportunity for people that might be looking for work, they can't take up employment if they

can't take up employment if they can't afford the travel costs. for families like the one in your piece, they're looking for work outside their local area, they're looking for work outside their localarea, if they're looking for work outside their local area, if that is the place offering the wages they want to take up, but they can't afford the travel. that limits their opportunities. secondly, the gentleman in your piece was talking about he is struggling with his mental health and that is a barrier to get into employment. we are seeing a lot of staff shortages across the nhs and putting more barriers to employment in their way is not going to help the situation either. what it is is the other thing is that the government are in control of this particular price rise. this is within their power to manage. a lot of the other pressures that are being forced on families are arising from post—pandemic challenges, the war in ukraine, the government can't control those, but they can control fare rises. but

there might — they can control fare rises. but there might be _ they can control fare rises. but there might be somebody watching, you mentioned guilford, in the home county, a well off commuter heading into london to go to work, would see their rail ticket frozen under your plans, but for the families who can't buy stuff at the supermarket and can't pay their bills, you should be surely prioritising people like that more than commuters, some rich people would benefit from your plans, a lot of poor people would not. plans, a lot of poor people would not, ., ., , , , plans, a lot of poor people would not. ., ., , , , , not. so, alongside this, this is, we are calling — not. so, alongside this, this is, we are calling for _ not. so, alongside this, this is, we are calling for a _ not. so, alongside this, this is, we are calling for a double _ not. so, alongside this, this is, we are calling for a double freeze. - not. so, alongside this, this is, we are calling for a double freeze. i i are calling for a double freeze. i think what, the more important part of the proposal is the proposal to freeze the energy price cap. that will give really important relief to many families, including the ones in your piece. and we want to extend the additional support that is available to those families, the warm homes discount, increasing universal credit, we want to bring

in those measures, because we recognise the poorest are going to need urgent help. 0ne recognise the poorest are going to need urgent help. one of the things that the government need to grasp is how widespread difficulties paying bills will be. you talk about wealthy people in guilford, not everyone in guilford is wealthy. it is about the extent to which it is going to cause an enormous problem for everybody. and the government are showing no signs of getting to grips with this crisis. the prime minister is on holiday again. we are not hearing anything from the two leadership contenders about what they would do. i think that they need to get together and come up with something between them, we can't wait three weeks four this leadership contest to be over. the issues are real and are affecting families now. we really need to hear now what help is going to be

into the new premier league season, the new premier league season, but it already feels like advantage manchester city in the title race — as liverpool's wait for their first win of the season goes on. they drew 1—1 with crystal palace at anfield last night — wilfried zaha put palace ahead against the run of play. liverpool's big summer signing darwin nunez was shown a red card for this headbutt in the second half. but liverpool did finally get a goal — thanks to luis diaz�* great strike. jurgen klopp was asked about the nunez sending off afterwards. i saw it. i cannot deny that's a red card. and now leave him alone for a night and then i will talk to him tomorrow. it's not an easy place - to come, and we defended really well as a team. we were prepared to suffer, we suffered. i and i think, you know, in our- contact we were quite, quite good. more the games was going and more we were getting dangerous— and we needed a big team performance and we had it tonight. _

less than two weeks on from her commonwealth games gold, scotland's long distance runner eilish mccolgan was back on the track in munich last night — aiming to become european champion in the 10,000 metres. but she couldn't quite repeat her birmingham success as nesta mcgregor reports. a last minute pep talk, who knows? maybe even a reminder to self of the prize that lies ahead. an expert at dictating pace. early on it was eilish mccolgan who looked in the driver's seat. we're approaching halfway and mccolgan leading. but with seven laps to go, yasmin chen appeared to find another gear. and that's a big move. with the turkish athlete clearlyw out of sight. the fight now would be for silver and is now king kick. and this time it was the 31 year old scot who put

her foot on the gas. brave run from mccolgan takes the silver to go with a commonwealth gold. it's been probably one - of the craziest weeks of my life at the commonwealth games. such a big high of like emotions and not a lot of sleep. - so yeah, i find it tough to sort of get myself up again today, | but i can't complain. i did a lot of the work tonight- and came away with a silver medal and there's a crash that's brought down about half a dozen riders. in the final of the women's omnium, this collision led to a long delay. some of the riders and the track would need attention. thankfully on hand, the world's best engineers and some good old gaffer tape. it's not the smoothest patch up we've seen. as the popular saying goes, it's a marathon, not a sprint. well, what if it's both? after 26 gruelling miles. germany's richard ringer produced one of the best moments in munich so far. nesta mcgregor, bbc news.

in the european aquatics championships in rome, great britain won the silver medal in the 4 by 100 metre freestyle relay. the british quartet of tom dean, matt richards, anna hopkin and freya anderson finished just half a second behind france — who took gold. it's a fifth medal in rome for anderson and britain's11th at the championships. birmingham phoenix maintained their excellent start to the hundred — beating the trent rockets by seven wickets. liam livingstone passed 50 as he hit the winning runs, while moeen ali top scored with 52. phoenix have won three out of fourgames, as have the rockets. after beating holger rune in three sets. and norrie will face andy murray next. the former world number one beat stan wawrinka — also in three sets — in a match that lasted almost three hours.

is looking like. carol, what can you tell us? i saw rain for the first time in weeks this morning. there is more rain in the forecast in the shape of some thunder storms. like yesterday, we are looking at scattered thunder storms, especially in england and wales. if you catch one, there could be some torrential down pours. but not all of us will see one. we have this area of low pressure moving up from the south and we have this front which is going to clear eastern and southern scotland. we are starting with some persistent rain. some showers in northern ireland and you can see more rain coming in across the south and this is what is likely to turn thundery. there is the rain from scotland, leaving a fair bit of cloud behind. the odd shower. drying up cloud behind. the odd shower. drying up northern islesly in northern ireland. and —— drying up nicely in

northern ireland. and then the showers in england and wales. they won't necessarily be where you can see them on the map, they could be anywhere. they are hit and miss. but torrential. we have a noticeable northerly breeze that will take the edge off the temperature and it will feel cool. 12 to 17 in the northern half of the country. 20 to 26 further south. tonight we hang on to a lot of thundery showers. banging away through the night. to the north there will be some clear skies and still quite windy. specially that wind down the north sea coast. still muqqy wind down the north sea coast. still muggy in the south. tomorrow, we start off with some thunder storms across the south. through the course of the day you will find they will start to retreat to the south—east. a lot of cloud in england and wales.

but dryer in scotland and northern ireland, where we will see some sunshine. you can see the next front waiting in the wings. temperatures 12 to 25. moving on into thursday, on thursday we have a front coming in across the north and west bringing some rain. that too will be slowly slipping southwards and east ward. but probably not getting into the far south—east, where it should stay dry. the other thing about thursday is the change in the wind direction. no longer coming from the north, but a west or a south—westerly, so temperatures will go south—westerly, so temperatures will 9° up south—westerly, so temperatures will go up a bit and highs of 15 to 25. it is going to turn windier. especially on sunday. with coastal gales in the south—west. thank you. almost normal. not carole, the weather. .

deal. barbie used to be my favourite toy and i draw a hearing aid on to my doll. now we have a doll that has a hearing aid and if i got given this barbie when i was a child, i probably would have screamed and got overexcited and played with it all the time. now deaf children are able to do that. that is just lovely. and special. but notjust for deaf children to play, but also for hearing children to play and just see it as a normal thing and, yeah... it is quite powerful and i'm excited to see what it does. we have one here with _ excited to see what it does. we have one here with a _ excited to see what it does. we have one here with a hearing _ excited to see what it does. we have one here with a hearing aid. - one person who's excited

now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another warm night last night, but the temperatures slowly starting to cool. today, the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for thunderstorms — perhaps more frequent than yesterday. now, it's a cloudy start this morning, we've had one or two showers, but we'll see more frequent showers coming up from the south through the course of the day — again, not everywhere will see them, but if you do, sharp and some rumbles of thunder — temperatures cooler at 25 celsius today. now, overnight tonight, that risk continues, we'll still see some further showers again, potentially some rumbles of thunder — they could be quite sharp. quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. temperatures of 15 celsius overnight. now, for tomorrow, the low pressure starts to drift east, but we are still under the influence. it is going to be another unsettled day and the met office has another yellow weather warning in place for thunderstorms. now, they could be heavy, drying out to a certain extent through the afternoon, but that cloud hanging around — perhaps breaking towards the end of the day, giving some sunny spells. temperatures cooler

still for tuesday, with a maximum of 22 celsius. now, for friday, saturday — that's looking dry. but for sunday, conditions turn wetter and rather windy. that's it from me. lots more on our website, including the roll—out of the monkeypox vaccine, and don't forget to follow us on our social media channels for the latest breaking news in london. now its back to sally and jon. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. raising awareness of bowel cancer — the mother of dame deborahjames speaks for the first time about her daughter's legacy and final weeks. we were given three to five days — deborah lived eight weeks. that eight weeks was probably, in one way, the best eight weeks we've had together as a family. as thousands of british airways staff get a 13% pay rise — is your pay keeping up with rising costs? we get the latest figures on pay rises and look at how inflation is eating into pay rises. liverpool's frustrating start to the season continues as their new summer signing darwin nunez sees red — before luis diaz rescues a point against crystal palace good morning. we are looking at the

cooler day ahead today, we will also have a rain across southern and eastern scotland that were clear, leaving brightest skies. drier in northern ireland but for england and wales, once again, some torrential thundery downpours but they are hit and miss. paying tribute to a legend of british comedy — impressionistjon culshaw�*s here to tell us about transforming into les dawson. look at that! it's tuesday 16th august. our main story. dame deborahjames raised millions for charity and was an inspiration to so many people living with bowel cancer. now her mum heather has spoken for the first time since her daughter's death, to our reporter graham satchell, about her final days with deborah — and her long—lasting legacy. dame deborahjames, surrounded by herfamily at her mum and dads house. in the final weeks of her life, deborah's mum heather

became her main carer. i think the hardest thing was knowing she was going to die. my heartache was knowing, as a mother, i couldn't do anything about that. and i think that was the hardest for me to cope with — knowing that she was getting weaker — but stronger mentally, but weaker bodily. and...i couldn't help her. we had some good times. i can remember lying in bed probably just about a week or so before she died, and she was quite poorly that night. and she went, "i do love you." and i went, "yeah, i love you." and she went, "i have no regrets, you know?" and i went, "that's brilliant." you know, how many people could say that? but she did say,

"i don't want to die." and that's the hardest, saddest part. deborahjames was diagnosed with bowel cancer when she was just 35. she spent the next five years campaigning for better treatment, and raising awareness. because i get bitterly angry about the whole thing — like, even listening to your stories... she recorded every part of her diagnosis with extraordinary honesty. you can tell i'm in a really bad place at the moment because i'm back on treatment, and every single time i'm back on treatment, i'm like, "i don't want to be here!" like, "i don't want to be back on treatment." in the last few weeks of her life, deborah finished a book — which is published this week — she launched a clothing range... ..and started the bowelbabe fund, raising millions of pounds for cancer charities. i still find that amazing, that she had the love of the people out there, and that meant a lot. it's meant a lot to the family,

and it still does. did it feel like a help at the time? yes. i think i could not have coped. 0k, we were given three to five days — deborah lived eight weeks. that eight weeks was probably, in one way, the best eight weeks we've had together as a family, even though she died at the end of it. how can you not love what she did in that eight weeks? and...it did help, knowing other people loved her and wanted to...help in any way they could. i said to her, "i don't know what i'm going to do when you go." and she went, "you will continue and you will enjoy life." and i went, "but i don't know if i can." and she went, "then you haven't done mejustice." so i think we all have to. # there were nights. of endless pleasure... notjust live life — enjoy living life, and live it to the best that we can.

so i think we owe that to deborah. # when you touch me like this. i

be cured. the tragedy with bowel cancer at the moment is that too many people are being diagnosed at the later stages and it's much harder to treat successfully. what deborah has done, even at the end of her life, is phenomenal. find deborah has done, even at the end of her life, is phenomenal.— her life, is phenomenal. and what her life, is phenomenal. and what her family is _ her life, is phenomenal. and what her family is now _ her life, is phenomenal. and what her family is now doing _ her life, is phenomenal. and what her family is now doing after - her life, is phenomenal. and what her family is now doing after her. her family is now doing after her life is equally phenomenal. what kind of difference does deborah's mum speaking out today, on what you are trying to do and the message you are trying to do and the message you are trying to get across? it is are trying to get across? it is really important. _ are trying to get across? it is really important. i— are trying to get across? it is really important. i have - are trying to get across? it 3 really important. i have spoken to so many people with bowel cancer who felt they have had the confidence to go and tell their own story now because deborah communicated so well and connected and they felt they have been able to go. it is all those little conversations like ripples in a pond that will keep going and it is really important because bowel cancer is not an easy want to talk about. people feel a little embarrassed and it is about poo and buttons and so on and

get checked, or potentially having symptoms that need to be followed up? are you seeing them being seen quickly enough? the up? are you seeing them being seen quickly enough?— up? are you seeing them being seen quickly enough? the nhs really wants to see ou. quickly enough? the nhs really wants to see yom if— quickly enough? the nhs really wants to see you- if you _ quickly enough? the nhs really wants to see you. if you have _ quickly enough? the nhs really wants to see you. if you have any _ to see you. if you have any symptoms, they want to see you. they are open, absolutely. the trouble with covid is that bowel cancer screening was paused and some diagnostic services really slowed down because of covid so that created a bit of a backlog and they work phenomenally hard to catch up and to find the people who haven't come forward because we were all told to stay at home! they are really keen to see anybody with any symptoms. yes, they are under phenomenal pressure and we have been campaigning to get investment in workforce, more people to see people who have these symptoms, and also the diagnostic kit they need. that is definitely something we need to see, but100%, do not is definitely something we need to see, but 100%, do not delay because you think the nhs is under pressure.

going to do to try and rebuild that conservative brand in scotland. both of them have outlined a few ideas about how they want to increase the accountability of the scottish government. liz truss has outlined a couple of plans are saying she wants to give members of the scottish parliament more legal protections to question the scottish government on a legally contentious issues without worrying about facing prosecution. this is a privilege which mps here in westminster have at the moment, but members of the scottish parliament doubtful that rishi sunak has said he wants top scottish civil service to be more accountable to mps here in westminster, he wants uk government ministers to be more visible up in scotland, taking action on different issues there. he has also said he wants public services in scotland and the other nations to publish more comparable data to those in england and i think this is an idea that has been looking around some time but it is essentially because he wanted easier to compare for example how the nhs in scotland which is the

responsibility of the scottish government, is performing compared to the nhs in england stop some ideas what they want to do to help the scottish government to account but i think the big question and something to watch out for tonight is what kind of language they use when they are personally talking about nicola sturgeon and the snp. in exeter, at the hustings, liz truss golf nicola sturgeon and attention to glance at the last thing to do was ignore her. she got applause for that in exeter but i was told by some scottish conservatives that that didn't go down particularly well among some scottish conservatives with some saying we cannotjust bury our heads in the sand and that comments like that were being used to say that scotland was being ignored. it would be interesting to watch if some of those kind of attacks will be toned down tonight. those kind of attacks will be toned down tonight-— those kind of attacks will be toned down toniaht. ., . ~' , ., .,, down tonight. ione, thank you. those would be prime _ down tonight. ione, thank you. those would be prime ministers— down tonight. ione, thank you. those would be prime ministers are - down tonight. ione, thank you. those would be prime ministers are about. would be prime ministers are about to be asked about the economy. and maybe about this. the government have just released their latest pay and employment figures — nina's here with the details. good morning. good morning. these

example, those will be above inflation so that they want to be getting anything. their pay is being cut by 9% effectively. there are some pay rises coming, nurses, teachers for example, but that is four or 5%, teachers for example, but that is four or5%, nowhere teachers for example, but that is four or 5%, nowhere near where inflation is which is why we are seeing a lot of discontented workers taking industrial action or unofficial action. there is good news on there, but the picture i see one i am out and about talking to businesses, we cannot get bottoms on seats when it comes to treatment. record—breaking numbers of vacancies. that has reduced slightly at the long—term trajectory of people injobs is good, makes for economic growth, but it is very difficult to see where inflation will come down and by how much, especially when you look at, and we say it one more time, january average dual bills will be over £4200 and that will drive inflation even more. £4200 and that will drive inflation even more-— £4200 and that will drive inflation even more. , , �* . ~ even more. grin, isn't it? thank you very much — even more. grin, isn't it? thank you very much indeed. _ a russian—backed court

cases of coronavirus in the uk may now be falling, but plans are being put in place for what could be another challenging winter. the aim is to minimise the impact of a winter spike in infections on a health service that is struggling to cope as it is. we know that the risk of covid and indeed flu increases during the winter months when we get the colder weather. it's important that people boost their immunity. so it's a real message to viewers to ensure that they get their booster — when they're contacted, they respond to that. it means those over 50 or those with particular health needs will have the comfort of knowing that their immunity has been topped up. from next month, the autumn booster programme will start to be rolled out. it will be aimed at all over—sos, health staff and other vulnerable groups — that's around 26 million people across the uk — and it will include the new spikevax jab made by moderna. around 13 million doses of the new vaccine — roughly half of what's needed — will be made available. it's offered as a single jab and targets two forms of covid — both the original strain and the first omicron

variant known as ba.1. the rest of the booster programme will be made up of the original pfizer—biontech vaccine and — in exceptional circumstances — the novavax vaccine. but health officials say people should take whatever booster they're offered, as alljabs provide protection. dominic hughes, bbc news. we're joined now by the deputy chairman of the jcvi, professor anthony harnden. the jcvi advises thejcvi advises the government on vaccines. can we start on that issue of the number of vaccines, this new moderna vaccine available? 13 million available but twice the number eligible for the booster this autumn. how will we cope with the gap? autumn. how will we cope with the a a . ? �* ., autumn. how will we cope with the la?- �* ., ., autumn. how will we cope with the .a7. �* ., ., ., autumn. how will we cope with the .a.7�* ., ., ., autumn. how will we cope with the aa-7�* ., ., ., , gap? believe more are on offer but the key point _

vaccine. that is certainly possible. i am struck by the fact you have said several times in the last couple of minutes "get vaccinated, get vaccinated, get vaccinated". are you worried ahead of this autumn that people have had enough of vaccines? they feel they have maybe had covid again and don't need to go through this and other times? that’s through this and other times? that's ri . ht. we through this and other times? that's right- we have _ through this and other times? that's right. we have all— through this and other times? that's right. we have all got _ through this and other times? that's right. we have all got used - through this and other times? that's right. we have all got used to - right. we have all got used to living with covid now and we are much more relaxed about it. the coverage has gone down with each of these to campaign, so we do once people do still step up and have their booster vaccine if they are eligible and we want to encourage that because there is no doubt that this virus has not gone away and that it has the potential to give quite a severe illness in vulnerable people, and we know that it is a goodidea

people, and we know that it is a good idea to top up your immunity regularly. so whilst there is a lot of news here and we don't want to scare people, we do think it is absolutely the right thing for people to do in those groups we have outlined to step up and have their vaccination when called. qm. vaccination when called. 0k, professor — vaccination when called. 0k, professor anthony _ vaccination when called. 0k, professor anthony harnden, thank you very much indeed for explaining all that to us this morning.— very much indeed for explaining all that to us this morning. thank you. we will be paying — that to us this morning. thank you. we will be paying tribute _ that to us this morning. thank you. we will be paying tribute to - that to us this morning. thank you. we will be paying tribute to jen - we will be paying tribute tojen wrote len johnrose we will be paying tribute tojen wrote lenjohnrose in a few moments, the formerfootballer wrote lenjohnrose in a few moments, the former footballer who died of motor neurone disease. we will speak to one of his friends. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. the monkeypox vaccination rollout is expected to be paused for several weeks because of supply issues. many clinics, including london's busiest,

say they've already run out of doses and new appointments have be cancelled. the uk health security agency says its expecting 100,000 doses to arrive by the end of september. heathrow airport has announced it's going to extend the cap on passenger numbers to the end of october. the measure was introduced last month to try to reduce flight delays and cancellations. the airport says it wants to provide passengers with confidence ahead of the half term holidays. a four—year—old from woodford has made history by becoming the first sikh boy to model for burberry wearing traditional religious headwear. a photo of sahib wearing the iconic brand's clothes for their children's campaign has gone viral. his mother told us the campaign has had lots of praise . his mother told us the campaign has had lots of praise. i think it's really impacted people in a big way, and they've really enjoyed it and, you know, people saying, "my dad's crying because they never thought they'd see something like this." "my mum's really happy." someone said he was their mum's whatsapp profile picture.

she doesn't even know us! yeah, she'sjust so happy for it, yeah. people are really proud. people in wandsworth and putney are calling for riverboat services to run on weekends. at the moment the thames clipper operates on weekdays, but only during rush hour. people say extending the service would help cut pollution and support the growing numbers living in the area. uber boat says its always reviewing routes to meet demand. let's take a look at how tfl services are running this morning. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another warm night last night, but the temperatures slowly starting to cool. today, the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for thunderstorms — perhaps more frequent than yesterday. now, it's a cloudy start this morning, we've had one or two showers, but we'll see more frequent showers coming up from the south through the course of the day —

again, not everywhere will see them, but if you do, sharp and some rumbles of thunder — temperatures cooler at 25 celsius today. now, overnight tonight, that risk continues, we'll still see some further showers again, potentially some rumbles of thunder — they could be quite sharp. quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. temperatures of 15 celsius overnight. now, for tomorrow, the low pressure starts to drift east, but we are still under the influence. it is going to be another unsettled day and the met office has another yellow weather warning in place for thunderstorms. now, they could be heavy, drying out to a certain extent through the afternoon, but that cloud hanging around — perhaps breaking towards the end of the day, giving some sunny spells. temperatures cooler still for tuesday, with a maximum of 22 celsius. now, for friday, saturday — that's looking dry. but for sunday, conditions turn wetter and rather windy. that's it from me. see you in an hour.

hello this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. inspirational, courageous, heroic — just some of the words used to describe the former footballer lenjohnrose, who died yesterday aged 52. len, who played for bury, swansea, burnley and others, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2017. he campaigned tirelessly to raise funds and awareness of the condition, as tim muffett reports. commentator: towards the far post... an uncompromising midfielder, scoring here for swansea. lennyjohnrose! in a 16—year career, lenjohnrose also played for bury more than 200 times, as well as burnley, blackburn rovers, and preston north end. after football came teaching. but in 2017, len was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, which affects the brain and nervous

system, and for which there is no cure. going public with his condition the following year, he set about raising funds and awareness of the disease. there was a parachute jump... ..an ice—bucket challenge... ..all accompanied with a positive spirit that left many in awe. len said he was inspired by other sportsmen who've been diagnosed with mnd — footballer stephen darby and rugby players doddie weir and rob burrow. like them, he wanted the condition to be talked about, and to be better—understood.

lenjohnrose said he wasn't scared of dying, and he wasn't angry about his condition — he just hoped that one day there will be a cure for motor neurone disease. tim muffett, bbc news. we'rejoined now by len's friend and former team mate dean west, who co—founded the len johnrose trust. morning. i'm so sorry about what's happened. i know you guys were very good friends, very close. tell us about len. good friends, very close. tell us about len-— good friends, very close. tell us about len. ., ., ., , . about len. len was a great guy. we forced our about len. len was a great guy. we forged our frentdship _ about len. len was a great guy. we forged our frentdship through - about len. len was a great guy. we forged our frentdship through foot l forged our frentdship through foot —— friendship through football, first at burr y and then burnley. we carried ourfriendship

manchester united at old trafford, united having lost their first two matches and liverpool two games into the season and still trying to get a win. it very much feels like advantage manchester city. liverpool's wait for their first win of the season goes on. they drew 1—1 with crystal palace at anfield last night — wilfried zaha put palace ahead against the run of play. liverpool's big summer signing darwin nunez was shown a red card for this headbutt in the second half. but liverpool did finally get a goal — thanks to luis diaz�* great strike. relief for liverpool. jurgen klopp was asked about nunez�* sending off afterwards. it was tough and the story of the game _ it was tough and the story of the game didn't make it easier. that is the reaction — game didn't make it easier. that is the reaction. we want the fight. we are lift. _ the reaction. we want the fight. we are lift. we — the reaction. we want the fight. we are lift, we want to fight. if he can't _ are lift, we want to fight. if he can't play— are lift, we want to fight. if he can't play like geniuses in the moment, _ can't play like geniuses in the moment, then give it a go. and that is what _ moment, then give it a go. and that is what we _ moment, then give it a go. and that

is what we did. less than two weeks after winning the 10,000 metres at the commonwealth games, eilish mccolgan fell just short — as she aimed to become european champion. the scottish athlete was in contention for much of the race, but had no answer when turkey's yasemin can broke away as she eased to victory. mccolgan was able to finish second though — to add silver to her commonwealth title. so i'm obviously disappointed — i would have loved to become european champ tonight, but tired, tired legs! i definitely felt that today. it's been probably one of the craziest weeks of my life at the commonwealth games. such a big high of, like, emotions and, yeah, not a lot of sleep. so, yeah, ifound it tough to get myself up again today, but i can't complain — i did a lot of the work tonight and came away with a silver medal. elsewhere, yesterday was a day to remember for home favourite richard ringer.

the german paced his marathon to perfection, as he came from nowhere to win the event. ringer finished 26th at last year's olympics, but has now won his first global title. in the european aquatics championships in rome, great britain won the silver medal in the 4 by 100 metre freestyle relay. the british quartet of tom dean, matt richards, anna hopkin and freya anderson finished just half a second behind france — who took gold. it's a fifth medal in rome for anderson and britain's11th at the championships. birmingham phoenix maintained their excellent start to the hundred — beating the trent rockets by seven wickets. liam livingstone passed 50 as he hit the winning runs while moeen ali top scored with 52. phoenix have won three out of fourgames, as have the rockets. and it's not long to wait now until anthonyjoshua aims to become heavyweight champion of the world once again. he faces oleksandr usyk in a rematch on saturday night in saudi arabia — 11 months on after being beaten

by the ukrainian in london. after that defeat, joshua says he wanted to �*reinvent himself�* — and now believes he's ready to take back his world heavyweight belts. i know his tricks, i know what he's doing, and i know what i want to do. and i haven't done the same things as last time in training camp. i've kind of moved on and used that information to kind of push me on throughout this training camp, i think. well, i hope so! looking in great shape. he said he will be more physically built than ever. is will be more physically built than ever. , . will be more physically built than ever, , ., , will be more physically built than| ever._ apparently ever. is that possible. apparently it is. this ever. is that possible. apparently it is- this is— ever. is that possible. apparently it is. this is what _ ever. is that possible. apparently it is. this is what he _ ever. is that possible. apparently it is. this is what he is _ ever. is that possible. apparently it is. this is what he is having - ever. is that possible. apparently it is. this is what he is having in l it is. this is what he is having in the morning, fruit, oats, yoghurt, milk, eggs, vegetables with a smoked salmon bagel. that isjust breakfast. salmon bagel. that is 'ust breakfasti salmon bagel. that is 'ust breakfast. . , , ~ ., breakfast. that is 'ust like me on an earl breakfast. that is 'ust like me on ..eaflyshm_ breakfast. that isjust like me on an early shift every _ breakfast. that isjust like me on an early shift every day! - breakfast. that isjust like me on an early shift every day! thank i breakfast. that isjust like me on i

office yellow warning for thunder storms in england and wales. they will be hit and miss, if you catch one it will be torrential. and they will be more widespread than yesterday. they are connected to this area of low pressure from the south and we have this front that is moving eastwards and that will clear the rain that we have over eastern and southern scotland. a few showers in northern england. but the ones coming across the channel that are already thundery and will see thunder storms develop. in between in central england and wales we have sunshine and it is drying up. the showers will continue in the afternoon. don't take the location on my map as being exactly where they will fall. they could be anywhere. it will be breezy with that northerly component to the breeze. today will feel cooler than

yesterday. yesterday's top temperature was in lincolnshire at 32. today it is more likely to be around 26. through the night we hang on to some of the thunder storms, still some down pours. you can see too clear skies developing in northern england, scotland and northern ireland. and here it is going to be fresher. lows of nine to 11. a brisk breeze down the north sea coastline and muggy in the south. tomorrow, we start off with thundery down pours in the midlands, heading to south wales. but they will retreat to the south eastern corner. but sunnierskies will retreat to the south eastern corner. but sunnier skies in scotland and northern ireland, before tex in the front comes —— before tex in the front comes —— before the next front comes our way. cooler on webs with highs of 12 to 18 in the north. 25 or 26 in the south. heading into thursday, a

front coming in from the north and west will bring rain. and possibly not getting into the far south—east, be it will remain dry. the other thing is at is the change in the wind direction with a west or south—westerly component and temperatures will go up. as we head from friday into the weekend, again we have fronts moving across us, bringing some rain at times, but nothing too substantial until we head into saturday and sunday and then we will see more rain. initially on saturday getting into the north and west. probably moving as far south as northern england, south of that on saturday. it should be dry. and as we head into sunday, we are looking a more rain and windier. and we could look at some coastal gales in the south—west.

temperatures down to 18 to about 22. asjon said, or sally, it might have been yourself it is changeable and will continue to be in the next few days. i will claim that one! whoever it was, say it was me thank you for the confirmation. you will love this, carol. you will all love this. les dawson was one of the giants of british comedy — his deadpan style, funny faces and gentle humour winning him an army of fans. now the comedian and actor jon culshaw is bringing les's legendary style back to the stage — with a show about his life. we'll speak tojon in a minute, but first let's remind ourselves why les was such a national treasure. cheering and applause. your ambition is to

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today: raising awareness of bowel cancer — the mother of dame deborahjames speaks for the first time about her daughter's legacy and final weeks. we were given three to five days — deborah lived eight weeks. that eight weeks was probably, in one way, the best eight weeks we've had together as a family. wages are falling at the fastest

rate since record began. millions are receiving pay rises, but they're being outrun by prices going up, up, up. having fun during the summer holidays despite the cost—of—living crisis — we hear from the charity helping families who are struggling to make ends meet liverpool's frustrating start to the season continues as their new summer signing darwin nunez sees red — before luis diaz rescues a point against crystal palace. good morning, a cooler day with rain clearing scotland, brightening up in northern ireland, but some further heavy down pours across parts of england and wales. g]!!! heavy down pours across parts of england and wales.— heavy down pours across parts of england and wales. all the details later. it's tuesday 16th august. dame deborahjames raised millions

for charity and was an inspiration to so many people living with bowel cancer. now her mum heather has spoken for the first time since her daughter's death, to our reporter graham satchell, about her final days with deborah — and her long—lasting legacy. i'll do some this way. dame deborahjames, surrounded by herfamily at her mum and dads house. in the final weeks of her life, deborah's mum heather became her main carer. i think the hardest thing was knowing she was going to die. my heartache was knowing, as a mother, i couldn't do anything about that. and i think that was the hardest for me to cope with — knowing that she was getting weaker — but stronger mentally, but weaker bodily. and...i couldn't help her.

we had some good times. i can remember lying in bed probably just about a week or so before she died, and she was quite poorly that night. and she went, "i do love you." and i went, "yeah, i love you." and she went, "i have no regrets, you know?" and i went, "that's brilliant." you know, how many people could say that? but she did say, "i don't want to die." and that's the hardest, saddest part. deborahjames was diagnosed with bowel cancer when she was just 35. she spent the next five years campaigning for better treatment, and raising awareness. because i get bitterly angry about the whole thing — like, even listening to your stories... she recorded every part of her diagnosis with extraordinary honesty. you can tell i'm in a really bad place at the moment because i'm back on treatment, and every single time i'm back on treatment, i'm like, "i don't want to be here!"

like, "i don't want to be back on treatment." i mean, every time i met her, she was this kind of incredible ball of energy, and kind of fizzing ideas and determination. was she like that as a little girl? totally. totally, as a little girl. as a baby — i think she came out like that. never got any sleep at night with her when she was born, for many years. and when she died, we didn't. so i think it's going back to nursing her — for me, as a mum, that way. she was so full of energy. always was. always needed to be doing something. never had enough hours in the day. and... ..even when she was so poorly with cancer, she made the most of it. in the last few weeks of her life, deborah finished a book — which is published this week — she launched a clothing range... show her. ..and started the bowelbabe fund,

raising millions of pounds for cancer charities. i still find that amazing, that she had the love of the people out there, and that meant a lot. it's meant a lot to the family, and it still does. did it feel like a help at the time? yes. i think i could not have coped. 0k, we were given three to five days — deborah lived eight weeks. that eight weeks was probably, in one way, the best eight weeks we've had together as a family, even though she died at the end of it. how can you not love what she did in that eight weeks? and...it did help, knowing other people loved her and wanted to...help in any way they could. deborah was honoured with a damehood by prince william. the investiture took place in heather's garden.

we weren't told till the evening before, and everybody was obviously shocked. everyone was totally overwhelmed, but it was amazing. my first thing was, "i need a new lounge." if he's coming in here — no, i need to get new...everything! but he put us so much at ease when he came in and, you know, it was amazing. and he was just like one of my son—in—laws, and he just sat down with us and he was so lovely. i think he is a people's king. i # well, you can tell by the way. i use my walk i'm a woman's man. # no time to talk. deborah persuaded her mum to start using instagram. she became the boleran to debs' bowelbabe. she pushed me beyond my limits to do things that i would never do,

and that is what i will miss because she gave me the confidence to do things that i didn't think i could do. she pushed me and i'm hoping i can use that force that she had to get me to do things and i will pull on that in the future. and post it on instagram? hopefully! "things can get really serious when you're in a situation like mine, and everything is a matter of life or death." deborah's new book is an intimate account of her life with cancer and how to make the best of the worst times. "i really believe that it's ok to laugh — even in moments of darkness or sorrow." i said to her, "i don't know what i'm going to do when you go." and she went, "you will continue and you will enjoy life." and i went, "but i don't know if i can." and she went, "then you haven't done mejustice." so i think we all have to. # there were nights. of endless pleasure... notjust live life — enjoy living life, and live it

to the best that we can. so i think we owe that to deborah. # when you touch me like this. # and when you hold me like that. # it was gone with the wind. # but it's all coming back to me. # when you see me like this... that was heather talking to our reporter. we want to read you now an email we've received from one of our viewers, alison mccants, this morning.... it says: the friday after she died i called my gp, because i had blood in my to. i had tests. i

the number of people who have gone to their doctor and most haven't got bowel cancer. dame deborahjames: the last dance is a documentary celebrating deborah's life and legacy, and is available to watch on bbc iplayer. now it is 12 minutes past 8. we have some breaking new. let's bring you some breaking news now, and in the last hour it's been confirmed that average pay is falling at the sharpest rate on record. nina's here and can give us more detail. for the majority of people, it won't come as a massive shock. but what is shocking is when you look at the wider picture and how quickly it is

happening and inflation is eating into our wages even if we get a pay rise. yes, these are the numbers we get every month, which show us how our pay is stacking up against how much things are costing. you will already know — inflation — the rate at which prices are rising — is at more than 9% — that is a a0 year high. figures out this morning show when that's taken in to account, and once you take out bonuses, wages are felt by 3%. and once you take out bonuses, wages fell by 3%. now that is a record breaking drop. now — this feeds in to this worrying picture. have a look over the past four months — this is how all of our average overall pay is falling — in real terms, once inflation is factored it. it's heading in one direction. what's more that gulf — that gap between public and private sector pay continues to grow.

there are public sector pay rises coming. in terms of private sector it grew by 5.4%. public sector by i.8%. that is 3.8% difference. that is the largest difference we have seen for 20 years, so the different between public and private pay is continuing.— public and private pay is continuing. public and private pay is continuinu. �* ., , , . continuing. but there are public sector pay _ continuing. but there are public sector pay rises _ continuing. but there are public sector pay rises coming. - nurses will see their pay go up by at least 11%, for teachers and police officers it's 5% depending on their grade. and — some of you will no doubt be saying "i'm not doubt be saying "i'm not getting a pay rise at all!" for millions that is true — despite prices continuing to climb. some economists think inflation will peak at 13%. and we know the energy price cap for gas and electricity is going up in october. the average yearly bill is set to increase to more than £4,200 by january.

so it is likely, not certain, but likely that our money, even if we get a pay rise will continue to shri against what we have to pay out. i was talking about the fact we have had industrial action from rail worker, bus workers, barristers, it is possible that health and education workers could join them. one education union said, loyal, hard working public servants are expected to take the hit, while the nursing union said the pay rise of around 11% is a mis—step by ministers and a real terms pay cut and will push more nurses out of the profession. that is what we are seeing. there is an argument that if everyone gets a pay rise, that needs into inflation. but those who

struggle say i can't cope. that is dominating politics, how do we try to help families and sort this out? the conservative leadership race moves to scotland tonight as liz truss and rishi sunak take part in a hustings in perth. we're joined now by our political correspondent, lone wells, who's in westminster. lone, they are bound to talk about the economy, but i guess they are also, in perth, going to be talking about scotland, the future of the union. . �* . ~ about scotland, the future of the union. ., �*, ,, ., union. that's right. i think that will dominate _ union. that's right. i think that will dominate in _ union. that's right. i think that will dominate in the _ union. that's right. i think that will dominate in the debate i union. that's right. i think that i will dominate in the debate tonight. these questions of what they are going to do to take on come in their words, the snp and nicola sturgeon, as well. they both have a bit of a challenger. borisjohnson was not particularly popular in scotland. he wasn't even out campaigning during the scottish parliament elections backin the scottish parliament elections back in 2021 and a number of scottish conservatives were among the first to publicly distance themselves from boris johnson. the first to publicly distance themselves from borisjohnson. both

of them face this question of how did they rebuild the conservative brand in scotland? both of them is owning into a different pledges around holding the scottish government to account more. liz truss has said that as well as boosting trade deals to increase things like whiskey exports from scotland, that she wants to give new legal protections to members of the scottish parliament so they can challenge the scottish government on a legally contentious issues without facing prosecution. this is something known as parliamentary privilege, which mps here in westminster have already. rishi sunak on the other hand, once a top —— he wants top civil servants to more accountable to ministers here and once ministers here to be more visible in scotland. he also wants public services in scotland to publish more data to make it easier to compare for example how the nhs is performing in scotland, which the scottish government are responsible for, versus how it is performing in england which the uk government is responsible for. a number of pledges by both, but what will be

interesting is to look at what kind of language they both use this evening. remember, in the exeter hustings liz truss got a big round of applause for calling nicola sturgeon an attention seeker and saying the best thing to do is to ignore her. those comments did get a lot of applause in exeter but i'm told they didn't necessarily go down particularly well among some scottish conservatives, with one telling me that we can'tjust bury our heads in the sand and pretend theissue our heads in the sand and pretend the issue isn't there. and raising concerns that these comments were being used in scotland to demonstrate that scotland was being ignored by westminster i think it will be interesting to watch it some of that language is toned down this evening and how far or not both candidates go when addressing their concerns about the snp and about the scottish government more generally. lone, thank you, i expect we will get a full debrief from you tomorrow. there's go to carol for the all—important weather because it has been changing.

it certainly has. good morning. the next few days will also be quite changeable. today we have further scattered thunderstorms are primarily across england and mist like yesterday, not everyone will catch one, but if you do there is the risk —— they are hit and miss. we also have minibuses in scotland, moving away into the north sea leaving showers behind. drying up in northern ireland and for england and wales through the day we will see further thunderstorms develop more widely than yesterday, but they will be hit and miss. quite a brisk northerly breeze, feeling cooler than yesterday. temperatures in the north i2 than yesterday. temperatures in the north 12 to 18 degrees. further south, a top temperature of about 2k degrees. yesterday the top temperature was 32.1 in lincolnshire stop as we head for the evening and overnight we hang onto some of those downpours. thundery, as well. clear skies in scotland and northern

england, one or two showers at times getting into northern ireland and a brisk northerly breeze down the north sea coastline. in the north fresh at night for sleeping, still quite uncomfortable as we push down towards the south. tomorrow we start off with the thunderstorms across the central areas, south wales, eventually pushing down into the south—east through the day. brightening up later from the west of scotland and northern ireland some sunshine for the course of tomorrow but temperatures a little lower than today, 12 in lerwick to highs of 22 in liverpool and also london. thank you very much indeed. we will speak again a bit later. two years ago, the athlete ricardo dos santos was pulled over while driving through london with his partner — the couple believe they were racially profiled. now, the portuguese sprinter says he's been stopped again — this time by seven armed officers in the early hours of the morning. the met says its officers were concerned the driver may have been using a mobile phone. zoe conway reports.

it's 4am on sunday morning, and ricardo dos santos is driving home. a police car pulls in front of him. they want him to pull over — they say they suspect him of using his phone — but he keeps on driving for five minutes. he says he didn't feel it was safe to stop. once he pulls over, more police arrive. one approaches the car and gets out his baton. ricardo says he wasn't using his phone, and the police let him go. whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! he didn't do anything! two years ago, ricardo was stopped and searched by police along with his partner, bianca williams. my son is in the car! bianca is an olympic athlete. their three—month—old baby was also in the car. the police said they were looking for drugs and weapons, but the police didn't find anything. and five metropolitan police officers are now facing a disciplinary hearing for gross misconduct. they were just so aggressive

and they didn't... i don't think they needed to be. the metropolitan police says it has voluntarily referred itself to the independent office for police conduct to review this latest incident. the iopc says it's assessing the available information. zoe conway, bbc news. we'rejoined now by ricardo dos santos, who's in west london. good morning. just talk me through what actually happened on sunday. good morning. iwasjust what actually happened on sunday. good morning. i wasjust making what actually happened on sunday. good morning. iwasjust making my way home after charging my car and just driving home normally. and i saw the police car, which was next to me, which was absolutely fine, and after a while theyjust decided

to go in front of me but when i saw that happen, it happened in such quick time that i felt it was the best thing to do at the time, to go around them because i didn't want to go into the back of them and i needed time to process what exactly had happened because it wasjust so random. and i decided i needed to stop somewhere safe, which happens to be 2.4 miles further down the road. to be 2.4 miles further down the road, ., , ., to be 2.4 miles further down the road. .,, ., .,, to be 2.4 miles further down the road. ., ., ,, road. so, as that was happening, what was going — road. so, as that was happening, what was going through - road. so, as that was happening, what was going through your- road. so, as that was happening, | what was going through your mind road. so, as that was happening, i what was going through your mind at that point? t what was going through your mind at that oint? . . what was going through your mind at that oint? ., , , ,, that point? i was 'ust thinking about my safety i that point? i wasjust thinking about my safety and - that point? i wasjust thinking about my safety and about i that point? i wasjust thinking | about my safety and about the that point? i wasjust thinking - about my safety and about the safety of others because i don't want to stop in the middle of the road, i didn't want to stop in and unlet flyover at 4am because, you know, if

"we have now recorded this matter as a public complaint. we have also referred it on a voluntary basis to the independent office for police conduct, recognising the public interest. we await their views on how they may wish to take this forward." lots more to come. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, welcome to bbc london. im frankie mccamley i'm frankie mccamley the monkeypox vaccination rollout is expected to be paused for several weeks because of supply issues. many clinics, including london's busiest, say they've already run out of doses and new appointments have be cancelled. the uk health security agency says it's expecting 100,000 doses to arrive by

the end of september. heathrow airport has announced it's going to extend the cap on passenger numbers to the end of october. the measure was introduced last month to try to reduce flight delays and cancellations. the airport says it wants to provide passengers with confidence ahead of the half—term holidays. a four—year—old from woodford has made history by becoming the first sikh boy to model for burberry wearing traditional religious headwear. a photo of sahib wearing the iconic brand's clothes for their children's campaign has gone viral. his mother told us the campaign has had lots of praise. sahib's mother, harjot, said she entered her son into modelling as a way of increasing his self—confidence. i think it's really impacted people in a big way, and they've really enjoyed it and, you know, people saying, "my dad's crying because they never thought they'd see something like this." "my mum's really happy." someone said he was their mum's whatsapp profile picture. she doesn't even know us! yeah, she'sjust so happy for it, yeah. people are really proud. people in wandsworth and putney

are calling for riverboat services to run on weekends. at the moment the thames clipper operates on weekdays — but only during rush hour. people say extending the service would help cut pollution and support the growing numbers living in the area. uber boat says its always reviewing routes to meet demand. let's take a look at how tfl services are running this morning. there's minor delays on the central, district, jubilee and overground this morning — so do check before you travel. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another warm night last night, but the temperatures slowly starting to cool. today, the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for thunderstorms — perhaps more frequent than yesterday. now, it's a cloudy start this morning, we've had one or two showers, but we'll see more frequent showers coming up from the south through the course of the day — again, not everywhere will see them, but if you do, sharp and some rumbles of thunder — temperatures cooler at 25 celsius today.

now, overnight tonight, that risk continues, we'll still see some further showers again, potentially some rumbles of thunder — they could be quite sharp. quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. temperatures of 15 celsius overnight. now, for tomorrow, the low pressure starts to drift east, but we are still under the influence. it is going to be another unsettled day and the met office has another yellow weather warning in place for thunderstorms. now, they could be heavy, drying out to a certain extent through the afternoon, but that cloud hanging around — perhaps breaking towards the end of the day, giving some sunny spells. temperatures cooler still for tuesday, with a maximum of 22 celsius. now, for friday, saturday — that's looking dry. but for sunday, conditions turn wetter and rather windy. that's it from me. lots more on our website including the roll—out of the monkeypox vaccine, and dont forget to follow us on our social media channels.see you just after 9. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast

with sally nugent and jon kay. the long summer holidays are always an expensive time forfamilies — and this year, more than ever. with politicians on all sides debating how best to tackle the cost—of—living crisis, charities are stepping in to help children enjoy the break. jayne mccubbin has been to a theme park to find out more. are we excited? cheering. these are the children of the rock ferry estate in wirral. go, go, go, get on the bus. get on the bus! today, they and their parents are being given a free trip to a theme park to ease the pressures of the cost—of—living crisis. we are an area of long—term deprivation. people are finding it so much more difficult. see you, liverpool! there's a lot of working families here. yes. and people just can't do the hours and the extra shifts that they need

to get the extra income that they need. is everyone really excited? cheering. for laura, lee, joseph and avaya, today's free treat from the neo community centre will be the only treat of the summer holidays. i'm currently working for the nhs. my husband sorts the children out. usually in the school holidays, previously, we have done our own thing. we've had that financial ability to do so. but this year is very different. is this going to be the outing this summer? this is the outing of the summer holidays! are they excited? very. there's slides where you sit in this little log boat. you go up, it's like a roller—coaster, and then you go down and you get absolutely soaking. i like that one. i like all of the rides. this is going to be a good day, you go for it! three quarters of children living below the poverty line here in the uk live in households where at least one parent works.

work is not a guaranteed route out of poverty. i mean, it's difficult now, especially with the electric. it's going to go up again in october and we're just getting by now. and your landlord's just put the rent up. yeah, our landlord's just put the rent up, served us an eviction notice if we didn't agree to the rent increase. which they can't afford to do. the only certainty they now face is that prices will continue to rise, things will get more difficult, and next year they will be evicted. so to be able to come out and give them this day, you know, with everything... few will escape this squeeze — even with two salaries coming into their household, life for the o'dowds has changed. little bit of a pinch now. yeah. reel off the many and varied places you would normally be travelling to in the summer holidays. benidorm, turkey, new york. disneyland! portugal and disneyland.

and this year? we've been to butlins. it's tough, isn't it? cos you've got two good incomes coming in and you just can't afford to do the things you used to do. no. dad lee tells me he's working overtime every possible weekend. once i stop working overtime, that's really where it hits you in the pocket. do you notice dad's working more, elliot? i had to explain to them, when you're on your own, "dad, can you come home?" "no, i'm working tonight." i say to me little lad that i'm just going for milk. rather than going for a long time. you're working every weekend overtime, just to stand still, basically. yeah. it stays like this, it's what we want. make the most of it. exactly. lee did have a steadyjob before the pandemic, but mental—health struggles meant he had to leave. and now, with the pandemic over, none of those struggles are getting easier. do you feel the impact of stress at home? definitely. i do majorly, i kind

of shut down sometimes when it comes to the finances. i kind of bury my head. screaming. then it comes out in a bit of an argument and a bit of a tizz, really, doesn't it? you feel like, you know, you just feel like the whole... trying to keep it together, basically. desperate. yeah, desperate. and that's what makes days like this priceless. yeah, definitely. because you're out of the house, you know, you're not worrying about anything. the kids are having fun, even though it's raining, you know, it's not bothering us. but as long as they're happy, we're happy. that's why i'm standing in the rain in t—shirt and shorts! yes! one, two, three... this community relies on this help, but this community would like to see more help from government.

rising food prices are also putting pressure on families over the summer holidays. richard walker is the managing director of iceland supermarket — which is introducing a food club to help shoppers with climbing costs.

the that element out of it. we look secondly we have not gone into this lightly. we have been investigating this incident is an act of 2020. investigating the market, the right

partner and with the lending partner we have really found that and then we have really found that and then we have really found that and then we have done 18 months of pilots in north we have done 18 months of pilots in nort ~ . . we have done 18 months of pilots in nort . ., , ., ., ., north wales, in yorkshire, in london in some of the _ north wales, in yorkshire, in london in some of the most _ north wales, in yorkshire, in london in some of the most deprived - in some of the most deprived communities in the uk and we have found that people's reliance on food banks, who take out these loans, is reduced by 90%. people can afford, 70% of people can afford better things like rent and rates and things like rent and rates and things like rent and rates and things like that. actually, people are eating better, it is improving their mental health, their credit scores, so i'm really comfortable and confident that this is a responsible way to lend and confident that this is a responsible way to [end and will be of real need to our customers. we hear a lot — of real need to our customers. we hear a lot that we have a difficult winter coming. what happens if people can't pay back that loan? the first thin people can't pay back that loan? tue: first thing to say is people can't pay back that loan? tue first thing to say is the default rates are very low on the pilots. but actually they are helped, they are not harassed. fair for you don't

sell off their debts, don't employ third—party bailiffs and everyone is put on an affordable repayment plan which can be down to as little as £1 per week so this is a government backed provider, fair for you, and they do it in a responsible ethical way and, like i say, default rates are low but if they do then they are helped through the process. t are low but if they do then they are helped through the process. i guess families might _ helped through the process. i guess families might need _ helped through the process. i guess families might need help _ helped through the process. i guess families might need help this i helped through the process. i guess families might need help this week| families might need help this week and then they might need another loan next week and the week after that. how can you make sure they don't back too much debt or at least they are eased through the longer—term process as don't become reliant on it? taste longer-term process as don't become reliant on it?— reliant on it? we don't want it to become a _ reliant on it? we don't want it to become a drug — reliant on it? we don't want it to become a drug and _ reliant on it? we don't want it to become a drug and it _ reliant on it? we don't want it to become a drug and it is - reliant on it? we don't want it to become a drug and it is an i reliant on it? we don't want it to i become a drug and it is an important point and there is a cap in terms of the amount fair for you loan out which is £100 and they can apply for “p which is £100 and they can apply for up to six loans in a year but it is obviously carefully managed and monitored. i should add, fair for you don't give out these loans to anyone, and ultimately there is a vetting process which is quite

thorough and they were only loaned money ultimately to people who can afford it. what is interesting... does that mean you need to be in work? his does that mean you need to be in work? :, :, , :, , , work? no and it is means tested both wa s. if work? no and it is means tested both ways- if you — work? no and it is means tested both ways- if you are _ work? no and it is means tested both ways. if you are not _ work? no and it is means tested both ways. if you are not deserving - work? no and it is means tested both ways. if you are not deserving of- work? no and it is means tested both ways. if you are not deserving of it i ways. if you are not deserving of it then you don't get it and if you have no income, no bank account, etc, then you wouldn't qualify either. in our pilot, which helps over 5000 families, over 60% of them said that they were able to get this loan, where they were rejected elsewhere, and that is a really important point because this is a lifeline for many families just trying to make ends meet. what lifeline for many familiesjust trying to make ends meet. what sort of im act trying to make ends meet. what sort of impact by — trying to make ends meet. what sort of impact by the _ trying to make ends meet. what sort of impact by the rising _ trying to make ends meet. what sort of impact by the rising food - trying to make ends meet. what sort of impact by the rising food prices, i of impact by the rising food prices, rising fuel prices, having on your business? all those freezers use a lot of electricity.— lot of electricity. that's right. everything — lot of electricity. that's right. everything is _ lot of electricity. that's right. everything is going _ lot of electricity. that's right. everything is going up, i lot of electricity. that's right. everything is going up, the i lot of electricity. that's right. i everything is going up, the base commodity of products, fuel prices to transport goods. our electric bill, as you can imagine, is through the roof. last year it was a £60 million, this year it will be many

times more. the reality is we will get through it, we are a private family business, we have been around for 50 years and we have cash reserves, but many businesses won't and that is why as well as helping consumers, quite rightly, we need to talk about the government helping business and we need urgently for business and we need urgently for business some sort of loans for energy cost or tax deduction on the proportion that companies are spending on electric and the like because ultimately it is the consumer that pays for it and unfortunately business is not a sponge that we can constantly absorb these costs, we have to ultimately pass it on if we can't afford to stay in business otherwise and that is why we have seeing the prices go up is why we have seeing the prices go up on the shelf.— up on the shelf. every morning we talk about the _ up on the shelf. every morning we talk about the cost _ up on the shelf. every morning we talk about the cost of _ up on the shelf. every morning we talk about the cost of living - up on the shelf. every morning we talk about the cost of living and i talk about the cost of living and the crisis and difficulty is that households are under. what is it like right now, what have you noticed just this month in how things are changing? the? noticed just this month in how things are changing?- things are changing? they are chanauin things are changing? they are changing quite _ things are changing? they are changing quite fast. _ things are changing? they are changing quite fast. we - things are changing? they are l changing quite fast. we recently things are changing? they are - changing quite fast. we recently ran a similar scheme where we were

giving away £30 vouchers to the poorest people over the age of 60. pensioners, rather, in this country, and actually root rent that scheme a year ago, there is very little interest. now we have been overwhelmed with interest and we are seeing that at the tail in terms of people asking the cashier to tell them to stop when their shopping gets to a certain amount, £35, £40, leaving the rest in the trolley. 0f leaving the rest in the trolley. of course we are seeing it in the buying habits of consumers, switching to white value orientated lines, really watching every penny, some of our customers only have £25 per week to spend on food so when you have no safety net in the first place that is weight really gets important to help as best we can. you have been in this chapter some time now. when you look ahead, i know it is tricky to predict, but how long do you expect to be in difficult situation for? i how long do you expect to be in difficult situation for?— difficult situation for? i won't lie. i difficult situation for? i won't lie- i think — difficult situation for? i won't lie. i think it— difficult situation for? i won't lie. i think it is— difficult situation for? i won't lie. i think it is going - difficult situation for? i won't lie. i think it is going to - difficult situation for? i won't lie. i think it is going to be i lie. i think it is going to be really tough and i think that is why

we are scratching our heads, racking our brains, coming up with ideas like this, because as well as the war in ukraine and commodity price inflation and everything else in between, we have a drought in this country which will affect crop yields in september and october, so it is one thing after another. food inflation officially is now around 10%. of course it is much higher than that and people see that in terms of the price of milk, etc, and i think unfortunately this is going to be a challenge for all of us for quite some time yet to.- to be a challenge for all of us for quite some time yet to. your loan scheme, quite some time yet to. your loan scheme. is _ quite some time yet to. your loan scheme, is that _ quite some time yet to. your loan scheme, is that something - quite some time yet to. your loan scheme, is that something you i quite some time yet to. your loan | scheme, is that something you can keep going with into the future, long—term? figs keep going with into the future, long-term?— keep going with into the future, lona-term? a ., hj~ ., long-term? as part of this 18 month ilot, we long-term? as part of this 18 month pilot. we went _ long-term? as part of this 18 month pilot, we went out _ long-term? as part of this 18 month pilot, we went out on _ long-term? as part of this 18 month pilot, we went out on the _ long-term? as part of this 18 month pilot, we went out on the road - long-term? as part of this 18 month pilot, we went out on the road and l pilot, we went out on the road and helped raise funds with fair for you. they are very well invested and they are well invested, millions of pounds, plenty of cash to extend these loans and if it is of interest may be other businesses would like to find out more and join us and do a similar sort of schemes and then we can really scale it up and try to

help as many people as possible. richard walker, thank you very much for coming in. we'll get the weather with carol in just a moment, but after the baking heat and hosepipe bans, wejust wanted to show you these pictures. richard was talking about the drought. the drought goes on but we did at least have some rain yesterday. rather spectacularly here in truro in cornwall will stop it well and truly arrived, didn't it? just for a few minutes it felt that it was one off and it is not soaking into the ground yet, not getting the kind of long—term benefit we need. but we need to know how much more is coming. good morning carol. goad coming. good morning carol. good mornin: , coming. good morning carol. good morning. both. _ coming. good morning carol. good morning, both, good _ coming. good morning carol.

(emf. morning, both, good morning. let me show you rainfall totals over the next few days. if i run this sequence, this is what we are expecting and if we look up here, this is the key. for some, the very light blue, not much at all if anything. if we zoom in so you get a

closer look at the south—east, where we have been devoid of rain for some time until yesterday. look how we have the dark blue indicating 38 to 50 millimetres. these are thunderstorms producing this rain, so they do vary, depending on where you are, so the pale blue, again, not much if anything to write home about. we do have some rain at the moment, pouring down across parts of eastern and southern scotland this morning. we have all these thunderstorms coming up from most funded and lying in the south—west initially as we go through the day, if anything are buzzing in wales, the thunderstorms will be more widespread than yesterday but it will be hit as mis—as to whether or not you get one but if you do, like yesterday, it could well lead to some issues with flash floods. the rain clears from eastern scotland, leaving a lot of

clout behind it, a lot of cloud for northern england and at times a bit of cloud for western scotland and northern ireland but we should have some bright skies. a keen northerly breeze, it will feel cooler than yesterday. temperatures i2 breeze, it will feel cooler than yesterday. temperatures 12 to 24 degrees. into this evening and overnight we hang onto these thunderstorms through the course of the night. clear skies in scotland and northern england, if you show is getting into northern ireland and a keen breeze down the north sea coastline. these are our temperatures. more comfortable sleeping in in the north, still uncomfortable in the south with overnight lows of 16 degrees. we start tomorrow with the thunderstorms across central and eastern areas, into the south. a little push off into the south—east through the course of the day, leaving a fair bit of cloud, but some sunshine for scotland and northern ireland ahead of the next where the front coming our way. temperatures i2 where the front coming our way. temperatures 12 to 18 in the north, i9 temperatures 12 to 18 in the north, 19 to 22 in the south, so temperatures slipping more. as we head on into thursday, will still be

a lot of dry weather around but a weather front coming in across the north and west will introduce some rain and that will be slipping southwards and eastwards as we go through the day. something else salient about there is a's weather is a change in direction. looking at north end were easterly winds, by the time we get thursday, west or south—west elite which is milder. temperatures will a chilly go up just a notch or two. 15 to 25 the range. as we had from friday into the weekend, low pressure still in charge of our weather for a time and we do have weather fronts that help going to be crossing us so they will bring in rain at times, particularly on saturday in the north and west and across on sunday and on sunday it is going to be windy. thank you very much indeed. now the sport. we are talking about not the action of the game. but the other

and then i will talk to him tomorrow. less than two weeks on from her commonwealth games gold, scotland's long distance runner eilish mccolgan was back on the track in munich last night — aiming to become european champion in the 10,000 metres. but she couldn't quite repeat her birmingham success as nesta mcgregor reports. a last minute pep talk, who knows? maybe even a reminder to self of the prize that lies ahead. an expert at dictating pace. early on it was eilish mccolgan who looked in the driver's seat. we're approaching halfway and mccolgan leading. but with seven laps to go, yasmin chen appeared to find another gear. and that's a big move. with the turkish athlete clearly out of sight. the fight now would be for silver. and this time it was the 31

year old scot who put her foot on the gas. brave run from mccolgan takes the silver to go with a commonwealth gold. it's been probably one - of the craziest weeks of my life at the commonwealth games. such a big high of like emotions and not a lot of sleep. - so yeah, i find it tough to sort of get myself up again today, | but i can't complain. i did a lot of the work tonight- and came away with a silver medal. and there's a crash that's brought down about half a dozen riders. in the final of the women's omnium, this collision led to a long delay. some of the riders and the track would need attention. thankfully on hand, the world's best engineers and some good old gaffer tape. it's not the smoothest patch up we've seen. as the popular saying goes, it's a marathon, not a sprint. well, what if it's both? richard ringer is going to win it. after 26 gruelling miles. germany's richard ringer produced one of the best moments in munich so far. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. in the european aquatics

championships in rome, great britain won the silver medal in the 4 by 100 metre freestyle relay. the british quartet of tom dean, matt richards, anna hopkin and freya anderson finished just half a second behind france — who took gold. it's a fifth medal in rome for anderson and britain's11th at the championships. birmingham phoenix maintained their excellent start to the hundred — beating the trent rockets by seven wickets. liam livingstone passed 50 as he hit the winning runs while moeen ali top scored with 52. phoenix have won three out of four games, as have the rockets. there'll be an all british match—up in the second round of the cincinatti open. british number one cameron norrie booked his place in round two — after beating holger rune in three sets. and norrie will face andy murray next. the former world number one beat stan wawrinka — also in three sets — in a match that lasted almost three hours. while we are flagging up emma
