6:02 am
voted for permanent industrial action to begin next month. duncan kennedy reports. it's a dispute where both sides have come to their own verdicts. the barristers, who say the deal on offer isn't good enough. and the government, who say it's fair. the issue is mainly over pay and when it's paid. one thing both parties do agree on is that this summer's rolling days of strikes has had a huge impact on the justice system. over 19 individual days of industrial action across england and wales, more than 6000 court cases have been disrupted, including more than m00 trials. the barristers are asking for a 25% rise in pay for legal aid work, and want it to take effect now. the government has offered a 15% fee rise on new cases, but only from the end of september, which, it says, would mean an extra £7,000 a yearfor the average barrister. but now the barristers have
6:03 am
voted on whether to begin a non—stop strike. the result is due out this morning. the effect will be that the courts will continue to sit empty, with trials and cases not being heard. it is a last resort action. the remedy is for an injection of money into the backlog of cases, which currently stands at 60,000 cases that barristers are working on. that will cost government only 1.1 million per month. currently, it's costing much more for the courts to sit empty. the backlog of cases does remain high, although the government says it is now below 60,000. it also says the barristers' demand to backdate any pay rise would cost taxpayers too much, and would take longer to put in place. a ministry ofjustice spokesman said...
6:04 am
for professionals who normally spend much of their lives waiting forjuries to vote, it's now the barristers themselves who've been casting their ballots to decide on indefinite strike action. if they do go ahead, it's due to start on the 5th of september. duncan kennedy, bbc news. and we will find out during this morning's programme. the world champion boxer tyson fury has called for harsher punishment for knife crime, after his cousin was fatally stabbed in greater manchester. rico burton, who was 31, died after he was attacked in altrincham in the early hours of sunday morning. 0ur reporter dave guest is there for us now, dave what's the latest? well, as you can see, the streets here _ well, as you can see, the streets here irr— well, as you can see, the streets here in the — well, as you can see, the streets here in the centre of altrincham are

6:13 am
minutes without a tantrum. 522 minutes without a tantrum. 522 minutes seems long. i remember car journeys with my children and it was 3.2 minutes, now 32. crazy. good scientific research from the university of nottingham. 12 minutes past six. university of nottingham. 12 minutes ast six. �* , ., past six. let's get the weather u date past six. let's get the weather update from — past six. let's get the weather update from carol. _ past six. let's get the weather update from carol. looking . past six. let's get the weather i update from carol. looking lovely this morning. that morning. good morning. we have got mixed weather this week. first of all, monday, tuesday, wednesday, there is a new front coming in each day from the west and moving east. some of us will see some rain, varying degrees of heaviness. this morning it is mild across southern areas. temperatures 17 to 19 degrees. in the north of scotland it is colder. 45 degrees. we have got showery rain moving east, drier today in scotland as well. here we have got the rain, steadily pushing on across northern ireland, getting into parts of scotland, some of it is heavy. moving across north—west england. also parts of wales. it
6:14 am
will continue to journey east for the rest of the day. at times it could be heavy across wales, the midlands, northern england and southern scotland. but it will tend to be more showery in nature as it moves towards the east. brightening up moves towards the east. brightening up behind with some sunshine. the sunniest skies today will be in northern scotland. temperatures today are —— here 14 to 19 degrees. south, 19 to 25. tonight we say goodbye to that band of rain. a lot of dry weather behind. a few showers. more rain by the end of the night. mist and fog. one thing you will notice is that it is going to be muggy. especially once again in the south. i will have a longer and fuller weather forecast and about half an hour. now back to you. thank you. on breakfast we've been following the story of 3 dads — mike, andy and tim — who became friends after their daughters all took their own lives. last year they trekked 300 miles between their three homes to raise awareness of suicide in young people,
6:15 am
and they're now campaigning for the issue to be taught in schools. during theirjourney, many other bereaved parents have reached out to them, as alison freeman has been finding out. she was doing really well, actually, yeah. we think things were on the up. she was the star of every party. she would light up any room she came into, that wide smile. he was a clown. all his friends just said if he came in the room, they would all laugh. he was an amazing lad. everybody loved charlie. erm... ..ijust miss him. he was, erm... ..really bright. he was— really fit, really funny and, erm... ..he was our precious boy.
6:16 am
three families with three very different stories, but with the same awful outcome — the loss of a child through suicide. each of these parents sought out the 3 dads last year, as they walked to raise awareness of the numbers of young people taking their own lives each year. martin's daughter tilly had moved to manchester from lancashire to work for a property company. she was being treated for depression, and had suffered from bulimia. but suicide was not something herfamily thought she was contemplating. completely out of the blue. i was on the farm and i got a phone call. tilly hadn't turned in for work in the morning, which was very unlike her. luckily, work sent a couple of girls around, they let themselves in and found tilly. so... i think it was slightly planned a bit.
6:17 am
what have the shock waves been like for you and the rest of the family? well, it'sjust made a big black hole, basically, and you can't fill it in, if you know what i mean. just three weeks after tilly's death, martin heard about mike, andy and tim, andjoined them as they walked. just to talk to those lads in the same situation, it made a big difference. and i think talking is the key. i'm not very good at talking, that sort of thing. and louise used to talk to tilly a lot, and they could communicate. but i was more of a shut it up and not let it out sort of thing, which is, you learn now, is the completely wrong thing to do, really. tracey�*s son charlie had just finished his a—levels. he talked to his mum about struggling mentally the day he died. but again there were no signs he was having suicidal thoughts. he had rang the ambulance service.
6:18 am
he'd rang the police to tell them exactly where he was, so we didn't find him. he had so much to live for. and i think that's the tough bit. in fact, he did get into two universities, which he didn't know about. it was too late. like tim and mike's daughters, charlie's death came near to the beginning of the first lockdown in may 2020. tracey decided to join the dads as they walked near to where she lived in lincolnshire. did it help to be able to talk to them? massively. it was just lovely to talk openly and not have anybody say, "oh, well, that's what he wanted to do." they understood. what they've done and raised awareness isjust brilliant. i can't thank them enough, to be honest. pete's only sonjamie had also just finished his a—levels, and had no known mental health issues. he said he was going out one
6:19 am
evening injuly 2019. but when he failed to come home, his mum and dad called the police. i was thinking by that time that he'd gone. | erm... ..because, erm, you know, i couldn't think of any other explanation for why. he couldn't be found, and why wasn't he in touch. it's hard to begin to understand what's happened, really. - how you can be just, you know, . living your life normally and then, it's gone. pete travelled from his home in leicester to add his support to the 3 dads, and now, along with tracey and martin, is backing them in their latest quest to get suicide awareness put on to the school curriculum. my charlie, it was like he was looking for perfection.
6:20 am
and i think this is too much on youngsters nowadays, that they need to look — be the perfect person. i think there needs to be as much help out there as possible for them. if people called it a disease, i think more would be done about it. and i think it's got to start at grassroots level at the schools. you know, we live in a kind . of culture in which everything is often presented as being, you know, shiny and happy. | and everybody's doing the best - and everybody's — you know, yeah. everyone's doing better. everybody�*s doing better. and actually, you know, - everybody's going to going to face challenges, you know. and so, i suppose, you know, problem solving, resilience and that kind - of thinking, how do we get through? what do we need to get through? it's got to be part i of the answer to it. otherwise we'll carry on, you know, losing... -
6:21 am
..losing people. we need to keep them. and our thanks to jamie's dad pete for sharing his story, as well as tilly's dad martin, and charlie's mum tracey, who were in that report by alison freeman. and if you've been affected by the issues raised, you can find help and support on the bbc action line. the now complete their latest big challenge, the huge walk they are doing, next month. —— the 3 dads. we will be following that. let's take a look at today's papers. metro joins several other papers to lead with boxer tyson fury�*s calls for a crackdown on knife crime, after his cousin was stabbed to death at the weekend. the telegraph reports that gcse grades are expected to fall from last year's record high, when students get their
6:22 am
results this week. the times is saying that girls are going to do rather better than boys. maybe boys are spending too much time on games. the guardian warns that swimmers visiting the seaside could be at risk of sewage, due to a fault in monitors, according to data collected by the environment agency. and the times has polled its readers and reports that voters would prefer borisjohnson over rishi sunak and liz truss, with "little enthusiasm" in marginal constituencies for the tory leadership hopefuls. interesting. just two weeks to go until we find out who will be the next leader and pm. shall we look at the inside? can i show you a picture of a panned to start monday morning? always welcome here!—

6:26 am
a study by pension provider penfold suggests higher energy bills, wages and supply chain issues will force hospitality firms to pass on costs to customers. it comes as industry leaders say only a third of businesses are profitable since the pandemic and fear some may have to close. animal charities are warning the rising cost of food and heating are leaving many people unable to provide for their pets. dogs trust says it's had a record number of calls from people asking to take their dogs. inquiries are increasing each month and are more than 50% higher than levels they saw in 2021. sadly at the moment we can only see things going in one direction. and there's a bit of a double whammy there in that we're seeing more people looking to hand over their dogs, but equally, we're seeing less people actually looking to rehome a dog. the museum of london is celebrating its last summer in its current space with a special

series of events. over the next few months visitors can get a behind the scenes look at the venue and also attend a closing party. it's been at london wall near the barbican for 45 years, but will shut its doors in december and move to a new site at smithfield. let's take a look at the tubes now. the piccadilly line has no service between acton town and uxbridge because of a police incident at park royal. but a good service elsewehere. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. it will be rather unsettled at times this week across the capital, but a bit of everything really in the forecast. some rain, yes, but also some sunny spells and things will be warming up somewhat, some rather mild, humid feeling nights. and then as we head into the bank holiday weekend, the humidity is swept away to be replaced with fresher feeling air. now for this morning, well, there is a weather front out towards the west and that's set to be pushing eastwards as we head throughout the day.
6:28 am
so there will be some showery outbreaks of rain on and off. certainly won't be raining all the time. lots of dry weather too, but always plenty of cloud and quite a keen south—westerly wind blowing too, possibly some heavier downpours as we head through the afternoon, top temperatures of 22 or 23 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, our weather front clears away to leave us with a mostly dry night to follow. there will be some areas of cloud around and it's set to feel milder than it was last night, too. temperatures generally in the mid—teens in celsius. now, as we head into tuesday, well, there's lots of dry weather in the forecast. there'll also be plenty of cloud, but it could brighten up at times. and any brightness, any sunny spells will really help to lift the temperature up to 25 or 26 degrees celsius, possibly a touch warmer still on wednesday. before we go, if you've not seen our video on the four—year—old sikh model from woodford whose become the new star of a burberry campaign — it's on our website now.

6:30 am
fringe festival. as the cost of living rises, charities say they're helping more families than ever with free school uniforms. ben's at an exchange in yorkshire to find out more... good morning, ben. yes, good morning from the uniform exchange here in huddersfield. they have got sweatshirts here, cardigans, losers and trousers. volunteers are sorting through the items like they do everyday. everything here is provided to families for free which is really important. and the costs can really mount up. it's estimated that the average primary school uniform cost per child is £315. parents of secondary school pupils are paying an average closer to £340. one charity estimates that 780,000
6:31 am
children are wearing school clothes that don't fit them properly, because parents can't afford to keep buying new ones. in the last few years, places like this have seen a real spike in demand. and it's notjust here in yorkshire — it's right across the uk. we've been to visit a few of them. at this centre in cardiff, the shelves are piled high. from shoes to blazers, everything here is free. basically, i was struggling to put uniform on my son so he could go to school like everybody else does. i came up with an idea to approach the school he was going to and ask if they had any surplus uniform that we could utilise to give to other parents. it was very small, a handful of desks, but it worked and people did start coming in and they made it clear that it was getting more and more difficult for them to afford uniform. in hull, we catch up with this family. with three children to buy for the costs soon add up.
6:32 am
well, we've got primary school that are kind of like a colour, so you can go to the general supermarkets and buy the colour that goes. but then we've got the high schools, so obviously the blazers, the pe kits, it's all got to be a badge. this centre in plymouth helped 500 families last year. this year they think that number will double. with fuel going up and all the different bills - that we have to pay, _ now it's become quite expensive. so places like this, absolute godsend. | i've never known anything like it, actually. it's fantastic. what a brilliant service. i mean, it's, yeah, what can you say? something that i've never, never used before. i almost felt bad for using it. hopefully it will make things a little bit easier this year. from september, new government statutory guidance kicks in. it says schools need to ensure uniform costs are reasonable. they should remove unnecessary branded items and provide more high street options, and they should ensure second hand
6:33 am
uniforms are available. schools are required to implement the legislation right now for this september. and if parents think that their school uniform policy hasn't changed in their local school, they should contact the headteacher and ask why. failing that, they should contact the governing body of the school and ask why and failing that they should contact their mp or the department for education who can write to the school and require them to follow the legislation. finished. you want to put it in mum's bag? for now, with the rising cost of living already biting for so many families, services like this are proving a vital support. margaret is one of the volunteers here and a sorting through the items. these are items that get washed so they are clean. thea;r items. these are items that get washed so they are clean. they are sorted and — washed so they are clean. they are sorted and the _ washed so they are clean. they are sorted and the clean _ washed so they are clean. they are sorted and the clean ones - washed so they are clean. they are sorted and the clean ones get - washed so they are clean. they are sorted and the clean ones get put i sorted and the clean ones get put there. ., , ., ., | there. how did you get involved? i used to do —

6:37 am
guys coming in. you know, i really love the team chemistry, the bonding and going away for another gold, it's sweet, it's sweet. a nice way to wrap up the championships. but it was disaster for the women in the 4x100, dropping the baton on the first changeover between asher phillip and imani lansiquot. germany took the gold. heartbreaking to watch. britain's gymnasts enjoyed success on the last day in munich. courtney tulloch won bronze on the rings — while jake jarman also took bronze in the floor event, before returning to the arena — and winning gold. jarman wasn't even meant to be competing in the vault event, but a late withdrawl from team—mate giarnni regini—moran sanarman deliver two impressive vaults to secure top place on the podium. and that wasn't the only gymnastic gold of the day, joe fraser picked up his third victory at the championships, finishing first in the parallel bars, with regini—moran taking
6:38 am
bronze. and on the water — emma wiggs won her second gold in two days, while laura sugar, closest to the camera, added european to her paralympic and world titles. there was a silver too for charlotte henshaw and three bronzes for the british team. and from munich to rome where great britain topped the diving medal table at the european aquatics championship. success in the last two events gave team gb a total of six golds from the 13 diving finals. jack laugher and anthony harding got first in the men's synchronised three metre springboard event — that's laugher�*s second gold of the games — while noah williams and ben cutmore took silver and bronze in the men's 10m platform. it was a day of drama, comebacks and plenty of goals in the premier league yesterday, most notably at st james park as manchester city rescued a point against newcastle. city scored first but it was the home side who looked the most comfortable. kieran trippier�*s free kick
6:39 am
putting newcastle 3—1 up. however, city dug deep to get the point. erling haaland scored — and then this goal from bernado silva meant it finished 3—3. leeds were dominant over chelsea, with a 3—0 victory. keeper eduoard mendy doesn't usually make mistakes like this, caught in possession by brendan aaronson. rodrigo and jack harrison scored leeds' other goals — a great performance at elland road from jesse marsch's team. west ham slipped to the bottom of the premier league after losing 2—0 at home to brighton. leandro trossard added to alexis mac allister�*s first half penalty as brighton maintained their unbeaten start. west ham are without a point or a goal after three games. manchester united take on liverpool tonight with both clubs still in search of their first win of the season. but build—up to the match has been overshadowed by the threat of protests. jurgen klopp says his liverpool side should be given the points if —
6:40 am
as happened in may last year — the match is postponed because of fan disruption. joe lynskey reports. manchester united start the day in the premier league's bottom three. most fans say the cause is at the top of the club. last year when they played liverpool, they made that clear. two police officers are injured after a major security breach at old trafford with hundreds of fans invading the pitch. it was the first premier league match called off due to protests and since then it's got worse. liverpool won here 5—0 last october. last week united lost 4—0 at brentford. now there are plans to protest again in a march before the match aimed at the owners, the glazers. they're notjust greedy leeches, but they're incompetent greedy leeches. and what they've done is install within the organisation second rate people at every level.
6:41 am
and it's meant that, yes, sure, united have spent a lot of money on transfers, but an awful lot of it has been wasted. and i think that's what the anger is about. they're notjust taking money out, they're also running the place into the ground. i really hope it will not happen. but if it happens, i think we should get the pointd. i don't think and i really hope this will not happen. i have no idea what what could happen. don't think about it. but in a situation like this, always the other team should get the points. the owners want to win and in defence we want them behind the club. and i can understand sometimes, but i'm not that long in the club. that i can see all the backgrounds, but we have to fight together. - well, people are describing it as a relegation six pointer. if united win, they'll be a point ahead of liverpool. you know, the fear will transfer down the m62 to merseyside. i don't think that's going to happen.
6:42 am
united are so far behind liverpool that i cannot see them putting in a proper challenge. at this stage they look chaotic. united are set to sign a real madrid midfielder, but the fans say the big names cover the cracks. tonight, both they and liverpool go for their first win of the season. most of all at old trafford, they want change — on the pitch and at the top. joe lynskey, bbc news. coverage of that match is across bbc platforms. in scotland, celtic have moved two points clear at the top of the premiership after they won 2—0 at home to hearts. the defending champions dominated a weakened hearts side, who might have had half an eye on their europa league playoff this week. kyogo furuhashi and giorgos giakoumakis scored celtic�*s goals. hearts had two men sent off late on. that is your sport. what a busy

7:03 am
agree on is that this summer's rolling days of strikes has had a huge impact on the justice system. over 19 individual days of industrial action across england and wales, more than 6000 court cases have been disrupted, including more than 1400 trials. the barristers are asking for a 25% rise in pay for legal aid work, and want it to take effect now. the government has offered a 15% fee rise on new cases, but only from the end of september, which, it says, would mean an extra £7,000 a yearfor the average barrister. but now the barristers have voted on whether to begin a non—stop strike. the result is due out this morning. the effect will be that the courts will continue to sit empty, with trials and cases not being heard. it is a last resort action. the remedy is for an injection
7:04 am
of money into the backlog of cases, which currently stands at 60,000 cases that barristers are working on. that would cost government only 1.1 million per month. currently, it's costing much more for the courts to sit empty. the backlog of cases does remain high, although the government says it is now below 60,000. it also says the barristers' demand to backdate any pay rise would cost taxpayers too much, and would take longer to put in place. a ministry ofjustice spokesman said... for professionals who normally spend much of their lives waiting forjuries to vote, it's now the barristers themselves who've been casting their ballots to decide on indefinite strike action. if they do go ahead, it's due to start on the 5th of september. duncan kennedy, bbc news.

7:17 am
i felt so objectified and i felt as though i was their property. when i saw it, i was just shocked myself because i was like, "is that even me?" these are the voices of the women whose pictures were shared online without them ever knowing. hi, guys. hey, everyone's having a good saturday. tanvi is an influencer. a photo from her instagram account had been posted on the social media site reddit, in a group dedicated to men leering at south asian women. i saw so many men commenting about, trying to find out information about me, my name, where i live, the things they would do to me, which were both degrading and sexual. they were calling me names. some of the images in this group are explicit and private, probably originally sent between partners. in other posts, women appear to have been secretly filmed while having sex. like ayesha. we've changed her name and voice to protect her identity.
7:18 am
i stopped socialising. i stopped going out of the house. i was in and out of psychiatric units. it was just always self—harming, suicidal attempts, because it's coming to a point where i can't bear life any more. the group was hosted by reddit. the social media site has 50 million daily users worldwide. people can set up their own communities and discuss almost anything. but i found several groups on this site, where users are trading images, some of a sexual nature, without consent. two years ago, a stranger contacted georgie on social media to say a folder of her explicit images were being shared online. this time it wasn't on reddit. i remembered those pictures, i and they were ones that i shared with an ex—partner many years before, that i was assured i by that ex—partner had been deleted. despite having a written admission of guilt in a text message, - because he doesn't claim to have
7:19 am
wanted to hurt me, i was told i by the police that there i was nothing they could do. the law currently offers limited legal protection to any women whose intimate images are leaked on the internet. collector culture is the term that's used because many of the men collect these images in large repositories. the problem is the law only focuses on the kind of malicious ex—partner sharing an image, the kind of revenge porn. and this only covers a small number of cases of intimate image abuse. back on the same reddit group, tanvi and ayesha were posted on, our investigation also found explicit images of at least 150 different women, as well as thousands of non—consensual images and videos. reddit told us its safety teams regularly take action against communities and users for this behaviour.
7:20 am
my message out there, for all the people that are doing this, please just stop this. and anyone that's obviously going through this, just speak up, and you do have a voice. when you are held accountable, when it is illegal, and when the government does impose bills and laws, that's when you're going to be in serious trouble. for now, the law and the tech companies are struggling to combat this abuse. but ultimate responsibility lies with the thousands of anonymous users trading, selling and sharing these explicit images. monica plaha, bbc news. we are joined now by clare mcglynn, who's a law professor at durham university. good morning. thank you forjoining us. i think it would be helpful. well if you can tell us how trading nudes is different from sex or revenge porn?— nudes is different from sex or revenge porn? nudes is different from sex or revenue orn? ,., , ., revenge porn? revenge porn is when a malicious ex _ revenge porn? revenge porn is when a malicious ex partner— revenge porn? revenge porn is when a malicious ex partner shares _ revenge porn? revenge porn is when a malicious ex partner shares an - malicious ex partner shares an intimate — malicious ex partner shares an intimate image online without the consent _ intimate image online without the consent of the woman. that is what

if current trends continue. a study by pension provider penfold suggests higher energy bills, wages and supply chain issues will force hospitality firms to pass on costs to customers. it comes as industry leaders say only a third of businesses are profitable since the pandemic — and fear some may have to close. animal charities are warning the rising cost of food and heating are leaving many people unable to provide for their pets. dogs trust says it's had a record number of calls from people asking to take their dogs. inquiries are increasing each month and are more than 50% higher than levels they saw in 2021. sadly at the moment we can only see things going in one direction. and there's a bit of a double whammy there in that we're seeing more people looking to hand over their dogs, but equally, we're seeing less people actually looking to rehome a dog. a teenager who dreamt

of being a pilot is on course to become the youngest person to fly around the world in a small plane. 17—year—old mack rutherford has been flying with his dad since he was very young and qualified two years ago. so far on his journey he's faced challenging weather conditions and several technical issues. he's due to land at biggin hill this morning before ending his trip in bulgaria. let's take a look at the tubes now. the piccadilly line has no service between acton town and uxbridge because of a police incident at park royal. but a good service elsewehere. now on to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. it will be rather unsettled at times this week across the capital, but a bit of everything really in the forecast. some rain, yes, but also some sunny spells and things will be warming up somewhat, some rather mild, humid feeling nights. and then as we head into the bank holiday weekend, the humidity is swept away to be replaced with fresher feeling air. now for this morning, well,
7:30 am
there is a weather front out towards the west and that's set to be pushing eastwards as we head throughout the day. so there will be some showery outbreaks of rain on and off. certainly won't be raining all the time. lots of dry weather too, but always plenty of cloud and quite a keen south—westerly wind blowing too, possibly some heavier downpours as we head through the afternoon, top temperatures of 22 or 23 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, our weather front clears away to leave us with a mostly dry night to follow. there will be some areas of cloud around and it's set to feel milder than it was last night, too. temperatures generally in the mid—teens in celsius. now, as we head into tuesday, well, there's lots of dry weather in the forecast. there'll also be plenty of cloud, but it could brighten up at times. and any brightness, any sunny spells will really help to lift the temperature up to 25 or 26 degrees celsius, possibly a touch warmer still on wednesday. that's all from me, but make sure you check out our video on the new star of a burberry campaign.

that in the moment. the european championships has finished with mixed feelings for the great britain 4x100 metre relay team. the men took gold in munich in impressive style. the quartet ofjeremiah azu, zharnel hughes, jonah efoloko and nethaneel mitchell—blake won it in 37.67 seconds, breaking a championship record that had stood since 1990. those who have been here for a long time, have really embraced me and i admire the younger guys coming in. you know, i really love the team chemistry, the bonding and going away with another gold, it's sweet, it's sweet. a nice way to wrap up the championships. but it was disaster for the women in the 4x100, dropping the baton on the first changeover between asher phillip and imani lansiquot. germany took the gold. britain recorded their best—ever artistic gymnastics european championship medal haul. courtney tulloch won bronze on the rings — while jake jarman also took bronze in the floor event, before returning to the arena — and winning gold. jarman wasn't even meant to be

competing in the vault event, but a late withdrawl from team—mate giarnni regini—moran sanarman deliver two impressive vaults to secure top place on the podium. and that wasn't the only gymnastic gold of the day. joe fraser picked up his third victory at the championships, finishing first in the parallel bars, with regini—moran taking bronze. and on the water — emma wiggs won her second gold in two days, while laura sugar, closest to the camera, added european to her paralympic and world titles. there was a silver too for charlotte henshaw and three bronzes for the british team. and from munich to rome, where great britain topped the diving medal table at the european aquatics championship. success in the last two events gave team gb a total of six golds from the 13 diving finals. jack laugher and anthony harding got first in the men's synchronised three metre springboard event — that's laugher�*s second gold of the games —

while noah williams and ben cutmore took silver and bronze in the men's 10m platform. it was a day of drama, comebacks and plenty of goals in the premier league yesterday, most notably at st james' park as manchester city rescued a point against newcastle. city scored first but it was the home side who looked the most comfortable. kieran trippier�*s free kick putting newcastle 3—1 up. however, city dug deep to get the point. erling haaland scored — and then this goal from bernardo silva meant it finished 3—3. leeds were dominant over chelsea, with a 3—0 victory. keeper eduoard mendy doesn't usually make mistakes like this, caught in possession by brendan aaronson. rodrigo and jack harrison scored leeds' other goals — a great performance at elland road from jesse marsch's team. west ham slipped to the bottom of the premier league after losing 2—0 at home to brighton.
7:43 am
leandro trossard added to alexis mac allister�*s first half penalty as brighton maintained their unbeaten start. west ham are without a point or a goal after three games. in scotland, celtic have moved two points clear at the top of the premiership after they won 2—0 at home to hearts. the defending champions dominated a weakened hearts side, who might have had half an eye on their europa league playoff this week. kyogo furuhashi and giorgos giakoumakis scored celtic�*s goals. hearts had two men sent off late on. in the hundred, the manchester originals men's team set a new record score of 208—5 as they beat northern superchargers. phil salt led the way, with a rapid 55 off 25 balls, against the team who held the previous record. northern superchargers gave it a good go in response but fell 24 runs short of their target, and that ends their chances

sunny note of this morning, but we have rain moving from the west to the east, followed by sunshine and showers. driest in north—east scotland. details coming up. good morning. it's monday, the 22nd of august. our main story. we'll find out this morning if barristers will stage an all—out strike over pay in england and wales. courts have already been disrupted by several days of walkouts since june, but the criminal bar association will announce later if members have voted for permanent industrial action to begin next month. duncan kennedy reports. it's a dispute where both sides have come to their own verdicts. the barristers, who say the deal on offer isn't good enough. and the government, who say it's fair. the issue is mainly over pay and when it's paid. one thing both parties do agree on is that this summer's rolling days of strikes has had a huge impact on the justice system.
8:03 am
over 19 individual days of industrial action across england and wales, more than 6000 court cases have been disrupted, including more than 1400 trials. the barristers are asking for a 25% rise in pay for legal aid work, and want it to take effect now. the government has offered a 15% fee rise on new cases, but only from the end of september, which, it says, would mean an extra £7,000 a yearfor the average barrister. but now the barristers have voted on whether to begin a non—stop strike. the result is due out this morning. it's a real last resort position. what we have seen before we started any action at all, that cases were not going ahead in court because there were no barristers to either defend or prosecute. there simply isn't enough barristers now. and the
8:04 am
reason for that is the fact we have lost about a quarter ofjunior barristers. the backlog of cases does remain high, although the government says it is now below 60,000. it also says the barristers' demand to backdate any pay rise would cost taxpayers too much, and would take longer to put in place. a ministry ofjustice spokesman said... for professionals who normally spend much of their lives waiting forjuries to vote, it's now the barristers themselves who've been casting their ballots to decide on indefinite strike action. if they do go ahead, it's due to start on the 5th of september. duncan kennedy, bbc news. the world champion boxer tyson fury has called for harsher punishment for knife crime, after his cousin was fatally stabbed in greater manchester. rico burton, who was 31, died after he was attacked in altrincham in

8:09 am
another multiplier of your choosing. it isjust a desperate sign of the extraordinary state of chaos that have this industry has managed to get itself into. from today, a trial will start that allows some gps in england to prescribe walking and cycling to their patients. surgeries in 11 local authorities have been chosen for the pilot, which will look at how exercise can help tackle physical and mental health issues. government funding will be provided for projects like adult cycle training, walking groups and free bike loans. dr nighat arif welcomed the trial. this is a fabulous scheme. actually, before the pandemic it became part of an umbrella term called social prescribing. we know that in certain areas where patients were getting more active, then there were lots of chronic diseases that can be helped along because their chronic disease won't get worse.

8:16 am
clears. tonight there will be quite a bit of cloud around. some clear skies. patchy mist my grandfather. then a new weather front arrives, bringing more rain across western areas. tonight it is going to be quite muggy as well, especially in the south east, with overnight lows of around 18 degrees. 50 we start tomorrow across eastern areas with some sunshine. but we do have this weather front are still with us, moving from the west truly is. it will be fairly showery. it will not be as heavy as today. the odd shower in wales and the midlands. it will feel humid tomorrow. if anything, it will be a wee bit warmer with highs between 25 and 27. no tantrums at all. as the cost of living rises, charities say they're helping more families than ever with free school uniforms. ben's at an exchange in yorkshire to find out more.

8:18 am
one charity estimates that 780,000 children are wearing school clothes that don't fit them properly, because parents can't afford to keep buying new ones. and it's notjust here in yorkshire — it's right across the uk. we've been to visit a few of them. at this centre in cardiff, the shelves are piled high. from shoes to blazers, everything here is free. basically, i was struggling to put uniform on my son so he could go to school like everybody else does. i came up with an idea to approach the school he was going to and ask if they had any surplus uniform that we could utilise to give to other parents. it was very small, a handful of desks, but it worked and people did start coming in and they made it clear that it was getting more and more difficult for them to afford uniform. in hull, we catch up with this family. with three children to buy for the costs soon add up. well, we've got primary school that
8:19 am
are kind of like a colour, so you can go to the general supermarkets and buy the colour that goes. but then we've got the high schools, so obviously the blazers, the pe kits, it's all got to be a badge. this centre in plymouth helped 500 families last year. this year they think that number will double. with fuel going up and all the different bills - that we have to pay, _ now it's become quite expensive. so places like this, absolute godsend. | i've never known anything like it, actually. it's fantastic. what a brilliant service. i mean, it's, yeah, what can you say? something that i've never, never used before. i almost felt bad for using it. hopefully it will make things a little bit easier this year. from september, new government statutory guidance kicks in. it says schools need to ensure uniform costs are reasonable. they should remove unnecessary branded items and provide more high street options, and they should ensure second hand uniforms are available.
8:20 am
schools are required to implement the legislation right now for this september. and if parents think that their school uniform policy hasn't changed in their local school, they should contact the headteacher and ask why. failing that, they should contact the governing body of the school and ask why and failing that they should contact their mp or the department for education who can write to the school and require them to follow the legislation. finished. you want to put it in mum's bag? for now, with the rising cost of living already biting for so many families, services like this are proving a vital support. a very slick operation here. marina and margaret are busily sorting out the pulse of uniform for a collection. the whole place is run by volunteers. they are checking the items that come in, making sure they are cleaned and repaired if need be, ready to be picked up by families who have put their orders in. chris is one of the volunteers. what got

8:28 am
and are more than 50% higher than levels they saw in 2021. sadly at the moment we can only see things going in one direction. and there's a bit of a double whammy there in that we're seeing more people looking to hand over their dogs, but equally, we're seeing less people actually looking to rehome a dog. the museum of london is celebrating its last summer in its current space with a special series of events. over the next few months visitors can get a behind the scenes look at the venue and also attend a closing party. it's been at london wall near the barbican for 45 years, but will shut its doors in december and move to a new site at smithfield. a look at the travel now. the piccadilly line has no service between acton town and uxbridge because of a collision at park royal tube station. a range rover ended up on the tracks after colliding with a tesla early this morning, killing one woman and injuring two others. the a40 westbound is also closed.
8:29 am
now on to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. it will be rather unsettled at times this week across the capital, but a bit of everything really in the forecast. some rain, yes, but also some sunny spells and things will be warming up somewhat, some rather mild, humid feeling nights. and then as we head into the bank holiday weekend, the humidity is swept away to be replaced with fresher feeling air. now for this morning, well, there is a weather front out towards the west and that's set to be pushing eastwards as we head throughout the day. so there will be some showery outbreaks of rain on and off. certainly won't be raining all the time. lots of dry weather too, but always plenty of cloud and quite a keen south—westerly wind blowing too, possibly some heavier downpours as we head through the afternoon, top temperatures of 22 or 23 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, our weather front clears away to leave us with a mostly dry night to follow. there will be some areas of cloud around and it's set to feel milder than it was last night, too. temperatures generally
8:30 am
in the mid—teens in celsius. now, as we head into tuesday, well, there's lots of dry weather in the forecast. there'll also be plenty of cloud, but it could brighten up at times. and any brightness, any sunny spells will really help to lift the temperature up to 25 or 26 degrees celsius, possibly a touch warmer still on wednesday. that's all from me, but make sure you check out our video on the new star of a burberry campaign. he's a four—year—old sikh model from woodford. it's on our website now. it's back to tina and jon. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and tina daheley. thank you forjoining us. half past eight on monday. on breakfast we've been following the story of "three dads" — mike, andy and tim, who became friends after their daughters all took their own lives. last year they trekked 300 miles between their three homes to raise
8:31 am
awareness of suicide in young people — and they're now campaigning for the issue to be taught in schools. during theirjourney, many other bereaved parents have reached out to them — as alison freeman has been finding out. she was doing really well, actually, yeah. we think things were on the up. she was the star of every party. she would light up any room she came into, that wide smile. he was a clown. all his friends just said if he came in the room, they would all laugh. he was an amazing lad. everybody loved charlie. erm... ..ijust miss him. he was, erm... ..really bright. he was— really fit, really funny and, erm...
8:32 am
..he was our precious boy. three families with three very different stories, but with the same awful outcome — the loss of a child through suicide. each of these parents sought out the 3 dads last year, as they walked to raise awareness of the numbers of young people taking their own lives each year. martin's daughter tilly had moved to manchester from lancashire to work for a property company. she was being treated for depression, and had suffered from bulimia. but suicide was not something herfamily thought she was contemplating. completely out of the blue. i was on the farm and i got a phone call. tilly hadn't turned in for work in the morning, which was very unlike her. luckily, work sent a couple of girls around, they let themselves in and found tilly. so...
8:33 am
i think it was slightly planned a bit. what have the shock waves been like for you and the rest of the family? well, it'sjust made a big black hole, basically, and you can't fill it in, if you know what i mean. just three weeks after tilly's death, martin heard about mike, andy and tim, andjoined them as they walked. just to talk to those [ads in the same situation, it made a big difference. and i think talking is the key. i'm not very good at talking, that sort of thing. and louise used to talk to tilly a lot, and they could communicate. but i was more of a shut it up and not let it out sort of thing, which is, you learn now, is the completely wrong thing to do, really. tracey�*s son charlie had just finished his a—levels. he talked to his mum about struggling mentally the day he died. but again there were no signs he was having suicidal thoughts.
8:34 am
he had rang the ambulance service. he'd rang the police to tell them exactly where he was, so we didn't find him. he had so much to live for. and i think that's the tough bit. in fact, he did get into two universities, which he didn't know about. it was too late. like tim and mike's daughters, charlie's death came near to the beginning of the first lockdown in may 2020. tracey decided to join the dads as they walked near to where she lived in lincolnshire. did it help to be able to talk to them? massively. it was just lovely to talk openly and not have anybody say, "oh, well, that's what he wanted to do." they understood. what they've done and raised awareness isjust brilliant. i can't thank them enough, to be honest. pete's only sonjamie had also just finished his a—levels, and had no
8:35 am
known mental health issues. he said he was going out one evening injuly 2019. but when he failed to come home, his mum and dad called the police. i was thinking by that time that he'd gone. | erm... ..because, erm, you know, i couldn't think of any other explanation for why. he couldn't be found, and why wasn't he in touch. it's hard to begin to understand what's happened, really. - how you can be just, you know, . living your life normally and then, it's gone. pete travelled from his home in leicester to add his support to the 3 dads, and now, along with tracey and martin, is backing them in their latest quest to get suicide awareness put on to the school curriculum.
8:36 am
my charlie, it was like he was looking for perfection. and i think this is too much on youngsters nowadays, that they need to look — be the perfect person. i think there needs to be as much help out there as possible for them. if people called it a disease, i think more would be done about it. and i think it's got to start at grassroots level at the schools. you know, we live in a kind . of culture in which everything is often presented as being, you know, shiny and happy. | and everybody's doing the best - and everybody's — you know, yeah. everyone's doing better. everybody�*s doing better. and actually, you know, - everybody's going to going to face challenges, you know. and so, i suppose, you know, problem solving, resilience and that kind - of thinking, how do we get through? what do we need to get through? it's got to be part i of the answer to it. otherwise we'll carry on,
8:37 am
you know, losing... - ..losing people. we need to keep them. and our thanks to jamie's dad pete for sharing his story, as well as tilly's dad martin, and charlie's mum tracey, who were in that report by alison freeman. and if you've been affected by the issues raised, you can find help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline the time now is a 30 7am. let's get support with jane. what drama last night at the european championships. you can see the elections on the faces— you can see the elections on the faces of— you can see the elections on the faces of the men's four times 100 relay— faces of the men's four times 100 relay team — faces of the men's four times 100 relay team because there was delight for them _ relay team because there was delight for them but dismay for the women. we kind _ for them but dismay for the women. we kind of— for them but dismay for the women. we kind of neat aspects brain. the classic term _ we kind of neat aspects brain. the classic term of _ we kind of neat aspects brain. the

classic term of mixed emotions. both great britain's 4xioo metre relay teams were the defending european champions. only one team was successful in their defence last night. that was the men's. they took gold in munich in impressive style. the quartet ofjeremiah azu, zharnel hughes, jonah efoloko and nethaneel mitchell—blake won it in 37.67 seconds, breaking a championship record that had stood since 1990. nethaneel and zharnel, who have been here for a long time, have really embraced me and jeremiah, the younger guys coming in. you know, i really love the team chemistry, the bonding and going away with another gold, it's sweet, it's sweet. a nice way to wrap up the championships. but it was disaster for the women in the 4xioo, dropping the baton on the first changeover between asher phillip and imani lansiquot. germany took the gold. britain recorded their best—ever artistic gymnastics european championship medal haul.
8:39 am
courtney tulloch won bronze on the rings — while jake jarman also took bronze in the floor event, before returning to the arena — and winning gold. jarman wasn't even meant to be competing in the vault event, but a late withdrawl from team—mate giarnni regini—moran sanarman deliver two impressive vaults to secure top place on the podium. and that wasn't the only gymnastic gold of the day. joe fraser picked up his third victory at the championships, finishing first in the parallel bars, with regini—moran taking bronze. and on the water — emma wiggs won her second gold in two days, while laura sugar, closest to the camera, added european to her paralympic and world titles. there was a silver too for charlotte henshaw and three bronzes for the british team. and from munich to rome, where great britain topped the diving medal table at the european aquatics championship. success in the last two events gave team gb a total of six golds from the 13 diving finals. jack laugher and anthony harding got
8:40 am
first in the men's synchronised three metre springboard event — that's laugher�*s second gold of the games — while noah williams and ben cutmore took silver and bronze in the men's iom platform. it was a day of drama, comebacks and plenty of goals in the premier league yesterday, most notably at st james' park as manchester city rescued a point against newcastle. city scored first but it was the home side who looked the most comfortable. kieran trippier�*s free kick putting newcastle 3—1 up. however, city dug deep to get the point. erling haaland scored — and then this goal from bernardo silva meant it finished 3—3. leeds were dominant over chelsea, with a 3—0 victory. keeper eduoard mendy doesn't usually make mistakes like this, caught in possession by brendan aaronson. rodrigo and jack harrison scored leeds' other goals — a great performance at elland road from jesse marsch's team.
8:41 am
west ham slipped to the bottom of the premier league after losing 2—0 at home to brighton. leandro trossard added to alexis mac allister�*s first half penalty as brighton maintained their unbeaten start. west ham are without a point or a goal after three games. in scotland, celtic have moved two points clear at the top of the premiership after they won 2—0 at home to hearts. the defending champions dominated a weakened hearts side, who might have had half an eye on their europa league playoff this week. kyogo furuhashi and giorgos giakoumakis scored celtic�*s goals. hearts had two men sent off late on. anthonyjoshua says emotions got the better of him and he let himself down — after losing his world heavyweight fight against oleksandr usyk. in a post on social media, joshua said he took himself into a 'dark place' and 'had two fights — one with usyk and one with his emotions —
8:42 am
and — as he put it — both got the better of me.�* bbc 5 live's steve bunce was at the fight in saudi arabia and has been reflecting onjoshua's performance. the more he tells you, "i don't listen to what people say," the more you know he does listen to what people say. so there was immense pressure on him. plus, he thought he'd done enough. his corner thought he'd done enough. so his reaction at the end, that was the reaction of an angry man, a man that feels like his world's come tumbling down. however, he should have been protected from himself. a lot of adrenaline after a fight and losing for a second time really upsetting forjoshua. it and losing for a second time really upsetting for joshua.— upsetting forjoshua. it was really hard to watch. _ upsetting forjoshua. it was really hard to watch. we _ upsetting forjoshua. it was really hard to watch. we have _ upsetting forjoshua. it was really hard to watch. we have been - upsetting forjoshua. it was really i hard to watch. we have been talking about the fact the edinburgh festival has announced the year's took of the year. you have one for us? ., �* ., , ., us? you didn't laugh very hard when i first told you _ us? you didn't laugh very hard when i first told you. there _ us? you didn't laugh very hard when i first told you. there was _ us? you didn't laugh very hard when i first told you. there was a - i first told you. there was a break—in at the local police
