welcome to bbc news. in the last few minutes we have got a result amongst barristers in england and wales. they have voted to go on an all—out strike in england and wales next month, with almost 80% of those who took part in the ballot voting for an escalation of action. the criminal bar association wants a 25% pay rise for legal aid work, when lawyers act for people who can't otherwise afford representation. the union had rejected a 15% rise from the end of september, which the government says would see the average barrister earn around £7,000 more a year. there have been a number of walkouts in recent weeks, disrupting more than 6,000 cases.

now members say they'll stage an indefinite, uninterrupted strike from september 5th. meanwhile dock workers at the uk's largest container port, felixstowe, are on strike for the first time in 30 years — after rejecting a 7% pay offer. refuse collectors in edinburgh are holding a 12—day strike until the end of the month, with more action planned across scotland in coming weeks. and there are further strikes set to follow across the uk — with unions in transport, the royal mail, local councils and a number of other services planning or consulting on industrial action. we'll start this morning with that vote by barristers on an all—out strike, which will start next month. duncan kennedy has more details. 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 moo 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. we saw 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 reason for thatis barristers now and the reason for that is the fact we have lost about

a quarter of ourjunior 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. duncan kennedy, bbc news. we will have more reaction to that developing story from the last few minutes coming up on the programme. the dock workers�* strike at the uk's largest container port continues today. about 1,900 members of the unite

union at felixstowe began an eight—day walk—out yesterday, in a dispute over pay. the port in suffolk handles nearly half of the uk's container trade. let's speak now to alexandra herdman, public policy manager at uk logistics, the trade body for the uk freight industry. good morning and thank you for joining us. the second day of an eight day strike. what impact are you seeing so far or are you expecting over the next week and beyond? expecting over the next week and be ond? ,., ., expecting over the next week and be ond? ., ., ., ~ expecting over the next week and be ond? ., . ., ~ ,, beyond? good morning and thank you for havin: beyond? good morning and thank you for having me- — beyond? good morning and thank you for having me. yes, _ beyond? good morning and thank you for having me. yes, you're _ beyond? good morning and thank you for having me. yes, you're right, - beyond? good morning and thank you for having me. yes, you're right, we | for having me. yes, you're right, we are on the second day of a strike at our largest container port, felixstowe. what's coming through felixstowe. what's coming through felixstowe is typically nonurgent, long shelf life items that set off on theirjourney weeks ago. what we are likely to see, i may be some short—term delays but nothing that will cause huge disruption to the consumer. a lot of the impact will be felt by the logistics companies who are perhaps having to re—route

alexandria, thank you for your time, public policy manager at uk logistics, the trade body for the uk freight industry. rubbish is continuing to pile up on the streets of edinburgh as a strike by the city's bin collectors enters its second week. the industrial action — which is set to last 12 days and coincides with the edinburgh festival — comes after unions rejected a pay offer equivalent to a below—inflation 3.5% rise. 0ur scotland correspondent james shaw has the latest. this is the grassmarket, it's one of the centres for the fringe festival in edinburgh through the course of august. lots of bars and pubs and clubs all along this row here so it's very, very busy at the weekend. you can see a bit of rubbish here but have a look over here at this. this is what has happened over the course of the first four days of this strike, just an enormous pile of rubbish starting to build up, and that's just one corner of this city. the festival happens really all over

the centre of edinburgh and if you walk through this city, this scene is repeated in many, many places. it has been building up over the weekend and it's going to carry on really until the end of the month unless there can be a resolution to this strike within the next few days. the former chancellor rishi sunak has again criticised the economic plans of liz truss, his rival in the conservative party leadership contest. he said she could not afford the tax cuts she's promised and a support package to help tackle rising energy bills. it's also emerged that if liz truss wins the contest, the emergency budget she plans to hold may not be accompanied by the usual economic forecasts from the independent 0ffice of budget responsibility. let's get more on this from our political correspondent ione wells, who's at westminster. liz truss, her team saying that it

wouldn't be accompanied by an independent forecaster because of the urgency of getting an emergency budget done. but what is the 0br saying in response? the budget done. but what is the obr saying in response?— budget done. but what is the obr saying in response? the obr have certainly indicated _ saying in response? the obr have certainly indicated they _ saying in response? the obr have certainly indicated they could - saying in response? the obr have certainly indicated they could well| certainly indicated they could well do a forecast should she want one, if she was elected, in time for an emergency budget. that is certainly something that sources at the 0br have clarified would be possible. liz truss's team have stressed the reason they don't want to do this is because they want to act as quickly as possible. they have also argued they don't necessarily think these kind of forecasts essentially which make judgments about the impact of government's tax and spending policies would be necessary for what they have described as a targeted fiscal event, making the comparison for example to how rishi sunak when he was chancellor in may announced more support for households without going through one of these forecasts as well. the slight issue with this

argument is the fact that whilst they are calling it a targeted fiscal event, we know one of liz truss's big ideas and plans is tax cuts, which is a pretty universal rather than targeted measure. she wants to introduce tax cuts by cutting national insurance for everyone who pays that, as well as suspending green levies on energy bills and that's why rishi sunak�*s team have hit back at her today saying it would not be without getting the latest forecast about the state of the country's finances because he argues this would be an irresponsible thing to do and you can't have these tax cuts as well as further interventions to help households without what they have described as dangerous levels of borrowing. have described as dangerous levels of iaorrowing-_ have described as dangerous levels of borrowinu. , . , ,, .,~ of borrowing. given what rishi sunak has said and — of borrowing. given what rishi sunak has said and what _ of borrowing. given what rishi sunak has said and what the _ of borrowing. given what rishi sunak has said and what the obr _ of borrowing. given what rishi sunak has said and what the obr is - of borrowing. given what rishi sunak has said and what the obr is saying, j has said and what the 0br is saying, how much pressure does it put liz truss under? i how much pressure does it put liz truss under?— truss under? i think certainly it raises questions _ truss under? i think certainly it raises questions for _ truss under? i think certainly it raises questions for her - truss under? i think certainly it raises questions for her team l truss under? i think certainly it - raises questions for her team about why they are willing to go ahead with tax cuts without a most

up—to—date look at what the country can afford, what kind of head room varies in terms of the government's current finances. certainly the tax cuts she is planning rely on there being a certain amount of headroom within the government's finances. but i don't think her team are feeling particularly under pressure. they are leading in the polling in this leadership contest. the way i understand it is that as it stands she has no plans to announce any other detail about what financial support she may or may not offer if she were elected before that election result on the 5th of september. at the moment her team are remaining pretty tight—lipped about this, only saying she has already announced tax cuts and she would suspend green levies on bills. i don't think we will hear a huge amount of more policy from them. they are essentially keeping their powder dry as the contest goes on another two weeks. i powder dry as the contest goes on another two weeks.— another two weeks. i wells, thank ou ve another two weeks. i wells, thank you very much- — the headlines on bbc news...

the summer wave of industrial action — now barristers vote in favour of an all—out strike, in an ongoing row with the government over pay for legal—aid work. further supply disruption is continuing at the port of felixstowe — with workers on an eight day strike over pay. conservative leadership candidate rishi sunak accuses his rival liz truss of trying to �*avoid scrutiny�* of her economic plans — as she prepares for an emergency budget if she becomes prime minister. an investigation by panorama has found a huge online community that was secretly sharing and trading thousands of non—consensual images and videos, including explicit pictures of at least 150 different women. the group, hosted on the social media site reddit, has now been closed.

monika plaha looks at how the platform and current criminal laws are not doing enough to protect victims against this new disturbing trend. this piece contains references to suicide and self harm. 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. hope 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. 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 - 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 wanted to hurt me, i was told - by the police that there . 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. 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. and you can watch the full story of how panorama unmasked the man behind this group on the secret world of trading nudes, at 8pm tonight on bbc one, or on iplayer now. if you�*ve been affected by anything in this report, you can find help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline.

the metropolitan police could be investigated by the police watchdog after it emerged that its officers had contact with a student nurse on the day she was reported missing. 0wami davies was last seen in south london in earlyjuly. the met has also admitted releasing images of a different woman during an appeal to find ms davies earlier this month. five people have been arrested and bailed over the incident. the world champion boxer tyson fury has called for harsher punishment for knife crime after his cousin was fatally stabbed in greater manchester. in a post on instagram, the boxer described knife crime as a pandemic. his cousin rico burton, who was 31, died after he was attacked in the early hours of sunday morning. a 17—year—old also suffered serious injuries in the incident and two men have been arrested.

water companies have been accused of failing to monitor sewage discharges at popular british seaside resorts. pollution warnings were put in place across more than a0 beaches and swimming spots in england and wales after recent heavy rain overwhelmed sewer systems. data analysed by the liberal democrats found that many monitoring devices had either not been installed, or worked only a small proportion of the time. water firms insist they�*re tackling the issue, but campaigners say more needs to be done. water companies have now spent almost 9.5 million hours over the last six years, dumping sewage into the environment. and if the data is as faulty as it seems, that number could be a multiple of that by another multiplier of your choosing. it is just a desperate sign of the extraordinary state of chaos that this industry has managed to get itself into. feargal sharkey.

pakistan�*s former prime minister imran khan has been charged under the country�*s anti—terrorism act, after being accused of making threats against the police and judiciary in a political speech he gave on saturday. hundreds of his supporters have gathered outside his home in the capital islamabad to show their solidarity. they�*re threatening, in their words, to "take over" the city if mr khan is detained. he�*s been a vocal critic of the government and the country�*s military since being ousted as prime minister earlier this year. 0ur correspondent in islamabad, pumza filhani, told us more about the allegations against imran khan. these latest charges against former prime minister imran khan are expected to create a delicate political situation here in the country. one of the main reasons for that is that although it is a former prime minister, he still enjoys great support on the ground and he is a man who has been vocal about his ousting from parliament. in fact, he has used his time since then in every rally to be harshly and hugely critical

against the government, accusing them of a political ploy, accusing them of being handled from outside of the country. this is something that hasn�*t been received well by his supporters, who hugely believe in his ability to lead and believe that he was the man who was the right man for thejob and running the country well. here is where it becomes complicated. these terrorism charges will need to play out in court, except here in pakistan there is a very fine line between the courts, between the government and the military. 0ften those three can become blurred. we know that from behind—the—scenes politically, some within the governing coalition party have expressed concern about these terrorism charges possibly going forward because they are worried about that possibly causing civil unrest, or at the least strengthening mr khan�*s already powerful position and his stance that he has taken that the political parties here are in fact on a witch hunt.

we are expecting to hear from him as this case unfolds. we know that the lawyers have gone to court to apply for a pre—bail application. this is to prevent him from being arrested and rather hear this matter outside of court. he is yet to address these latest allegations publicly. we are keeping an eye on where he does this. he usually engages with his followers first on twitter and that�*s where most of his followers will be taking their first cue on how he intends to fight this matter and what their role should be. pumza filhani, bbc news, islamabad. as the rise in the cost of living continues to escalate, charities say they�*re now helping more families than ever with free school clothing. 0ne charity has estimated that the total cost of a child�*s uniform can be upwards of £300. ben boulos reports. 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 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 badged. 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. 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. ben boulos, bbc news. we�*d like to hearfrom we�*d like to hear from you today to let us know the cost of kitting out your children for the academic year and if you have managed to make any savings and how you did that. i�*m joined now in the studio by fiona small, who runs the young mums support network. school uniform items for her two children for this term cost over £200. tell us about your children. you have a year 13 and one going into year seven. have a year 13 and one going into year seven-— have a year 13 and one going into ear seven. ~ , g ., year seven. absolutely. my daughter is auoin year seven. absolutely. my daughter is going into — year seven. absolutely. my daughter is going into year _ year seven. absolutely. my daughter is going into year 13 _ year seven. absolutely. my daughter is going into year 13 this _ year seven. absolutely. my daughter is going into year 13 this septemberl is going into year 13 this september and they have to wear smart clothes. they are not required to have a uniform but they have to be in smart attire, ready for work, shirts,

advice to people who are struggling to buy uniforms? i advice to people who are struggling to buy uniforms?— to buy uniforms? i would say for those who _ to buy uniforms? i would say for those who are _ to buy uniforms? i would say for those who are struggling, - to buy uniforms? i would say for| those who are struggling, usually schools have their second hand sale or those who have passed on. and even those who have children who have left the school, give them back to the school because you will be surprised, many families could do with them. i have been doing it with trousers, instead of sending them to charity shops we can return them to the school and it means someone else can get them. speak to the parent and friends of the school, and there will be someone in the playground. you could be a new mum, just starting in reception and you are trying to find your ropes because it is like your first day of school as well. it is a learning curve. just speak to someone and ask who is in charge of the p&f. that�*s how you get involved. they will have half

now think, maybe those families just didn�*t have it, they couldn�*t send their children back to school in a new uniform. maybe they had to get their sibling�*s uniform passed down to them so it�*s important for schools and teachers to recognise that every day in the news we are hearing about the rising cost of living and how it impacts families and it�*s really important we know that this is happening and how can we alleviate those pressures that in the grand scheme of things, it�*s not as important as making sure they are fed and watered and can turn the light on and there is hot water coming out of their pipes. it�*s important to prioritise. and coming out of their pipes. it's important to prioritise. and that their child is _ important to prioritise. and that their child is in _ important to prioritise. and that their child is in school _ important to prioritise. and that their child is in school getting i important to prioritise. and that| their child is in school getting an education. ~ , ,., , if you would like to get in touch today about the cost of getting out your children for the new academic year and weather you have made any

savings, you can do that on twitter. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with carol. good morning. we have mixed fortunes this week with the weather. we have some rain moving from the west towards the east, it will be heavy at times across on a scotland, northern england, wales and the midlands. behind it, we see sunshine and showers return, but the brighter skies and driest weather today across north—east scotland. temperatures 15 to 17 degrees, our top temperature likely to be 23 to 25 in the south east. this evening, we lose that range from eastern england. stilla we lose that range from eastern england. still a fair bit of cloud around, some breaks, some clear skies, a little bit of mist and fog forming and by the end of the night, a new weather front to the west bringing in showery rain. it is also a muggy night, bringing in showery rain. it is also a muggy night. especially bringing in showery rain. it is also a muggy night, especially in the south east. but it is these that dry with sunshine tomorrow. a weak weather front still producing showers through the day as it moves from the west to the east. brighter

skies follow on behind and tomorrow will feel humid with highs of up to 27. sport, and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. here�*s jane dougall. good morning. 60 medals for great britain, as they finished second in the medal table behind host nation germany at the european championships in munich. they could have been top, had the women�*s 4x100 metre relay team defended their title, but they dropped the baton. however, the men�*s team took gold. it was an impressive display from the quartet ofjeremiah azu, zharnel hughes, jonah efoloko and nethaneel mitchell—blake, who 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 heartbreak for the women in the 4x100, fumbling and then dropping the baton on the first changeover between asha philip 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 withdrawal from teammate giarnni regini—moran sawjarman 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 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 3—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 10—metre 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. ina six in a six goal thriller. 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 goalfrom bernado silva meant it finished 3—all. newcastle away is always difficult. and i think eddie howe�*s side, my side, we make a properfootball game. i think all the people enjoy in the stadium.

and to be watching the game. and at the end, this is why football is so nice. so i think both teams, they tried to win, they gave everything. 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. 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 0riginals men�*s team set a new record score of 208 for 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 2a runs short of their target, and that ends their chances of making the final. the 0riginals are up to third in the table. more on those stories on the bbc sport website. that�*s all the sport for now. thank you very much. water companies have been accused of failing to monitor sewage discharges at popular british seaside resorts, and campaigners say the government is unlikely to take action to tackle the issue any time soon. pollution warnings have been put in place at dozens of beaches and swimming spots in england and wales.

footage — including these pictures taken in sussex — emerged over the weekend of what appears to be sewage being released into the sea. this map shows a number of popular locations around the english coast where warnings are currently in place, including the resorts of southport and cleethorpes. the data, analysed by the liberal democrats, found that many monitoring devices had either not been installed or do not work 90% of the time. joining me now is the liberal democrat mp, and former party leader, tim farron. good morning. tell us a bit more about the data you analysed around this, these devices these monitoring devices. ~ . this, these devices these monitoring devices. ~ , ., ., devices. well, it is all the more a- allin: devices. well, it is all the more appalling when _ devices. well, it is all the more appalling when you _ devices. well, it is all the more appalling when you think- devices. well, it is all the more appalling when you think that i devices. well, it is all the more i appalling when you think that the government and conservative mps voted to allow this to happen. but one in ten of the sites in the south coast without a monitor or a monitor that works. 0ne coast without a monitor or a monitor that works. one in eight in the south west. that is places like

seaford whether monitor is only working 30% of the time. littlehampton, in sussex. no monitor there at all. in the north west, my part of the world, one in seven of all water sources are without any monitor, effectively, whatsoever. and what this means is the 2.6 million hours worth of sewage dumped into our waterways and beaches, legally, outrageously, last year, thatis legally, outrageously, last year, that is a massive under estimate because it turns out the water companies are not properly monitoring the outflow at all. when ou have monitoring the outflow at all. when you have approached, _ monitoring the outflow at all. when you have approached, the - monitoring the outflow at all. when you have approached, the liberal democrats have approached water firms about this, what has their response been?— firms about this, what has their response been? well, i'm sure you have seen — response been? well, i'm sure you have seen the _ response been? well, i'm sure you have seen the statement _ response been? well, i'm sure you have seen the statement on - response been? well, i'm sure you have seen the statement on behalf| response been? well, i'm sure you i have seen the statement on behalf of the water companies and they will make all sorts of excuses. but when you have got £2.8 billion of operating profit, £1 billion being given to shareholders in dividends

and the executive staff of the water companies getting a 20% pay rise last year, and the same time you see a complete lack of investment either in monitoring or in the infrastructure to stock the sewage outflows in the first place, you see really, they haven�*t got a leg to stand and, worst of all, this is all completely legal. last year, you remember a combination of opposition parties, liberal democrats very much parties, liberal democrats very much part of it, called upon the government to make this illegal, they chose not to. so all this is happening with the support of conservative mps, sadly. what, in our conservative mps, sadly. what, in your opinion. _ conservative mps, sadly. what, in your opinion. it— conservative mps, sadly. what, in your opinion, it going _ conservative mps, sadly. what, in your opinion, it going to _ conservative mps, sadly. what, in your opinion, it going to take - conservative mps, sadly. what, in your opinion, it going to take to i your opinion, it going to take to change this situation? the your opinion, it going to take to change this situation?— change this situation? the law, chance change this situation? the law, change the _ change this situation? the law, change the law— change this situation? the law, change the law so _ change this situation? the law, change the law so it _ change this situation? the law, change the law so it is - change this situation? the law, change the law so it is illegal, i change this situation? the law, | change the law so it is illegal, so people are prosecuted for pumping raw sewage into our lakes, rivers and onto our beaches. and also make sure the regulation is actually an forcible end of a high quality. so we should not be in a situation where on the one hand, there is no investment in the storage tanks, the improved sewage infrastructure we

would need to prevent these outrageous happenings, and on the other hand, the waters —— the water companies coining it in with colossal profits. there should be a cap on profit so that the money is invested in infrastructure so we do not have our beaches and lakes and rivers polluted in this way. [30 not have our beaches and lakes and rivers polluted in this way.- rivers polluted in this way. do you think the public _ rivers polluted in this way. do you think the public can _ rivers polluted in this way. do you think the public can have - rivers polluted in this way. do you think the public can have any - rivers polluted in this way. do you think the public can have any sort| think the public can have any sort of impact by writing to water companies in protest?- companies in protest? most certainly- — companies in protest? most certainly- ity— companies in protest? most certainly. by all— companies in protest? most certainly. by all means. - companies in protest? most| certainly. by all means. one companies in protest? most. certainly. by all means. one of companies in protest? i�*j�*if.�*3ii certainly. by all means. one of the problems is these are monopolies. but yes, i think the water companies are sensitive to the very bad pr they have justifiably now incurred. but again, this is down to the government. may pr they have justifiably now incurred. but again, this is down to the government. may be the most appalling thing about all of this is it is all legal, every one of those 2.6 million hours worth of sewage dumped into our lakes, was done so with the approval, orat least lakes, was done so with the approval, or at least the permission, of the government. that should not be the case. so the government needs to take action, make this illegal and enforce the use of profits for the development of infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of shareholders. tim

farron, thank _ the pockets of shareholders. tim farron, thank you _ the pockets of shareholders. tim farron, thank you for your time today. salaries for the heads of britain�*s biggest companies have grown by 39% since the covid—19 pandemic. that�*s according to new research out today by the high pay centre — a think tank that examines corporate salaries and income inequality — and the organisation representing trades unions, the tuc. it looked at the pay for companies traded on london�*s ftse 100 index and found that the average salary of the ceos of these companies increased from £2.46 million in 2020 to £3.41 million in 2021. that�*s 109 times higher than the pay of the average uk worker. let�*s speak to the high pay centre�*s director, luke hildyard. thanks forjoining us this morning. how much of this is a bounce back from the first year of the pandemic? yes, so ceo pay in 2021 was up by about £900,000 in 2020 levels, but

the increase compared to 2019 pre—pandemic was only £150,000. i say only, £150,000, that increase alone is about five times what the typical full—time alone is about five times what the typicalfull—time uk alone is about five times what the typical full—time uk worker makes alone is about five times what the typicalfull—time uk worker makes in a year. but yes, the increase from 2019 to 2021 is not as dramatic as from 2020 to 2021 because top pay went down a bit to only again, inverted commas, 2.5 million during the pandemic. i think in some ways, it has been a fascinating natural experiment. we knocked ceo pay down to a mere £2.5 million, my people thing actually, that is enough. and when businesses rebound, might they prioritise pay increases for lower pay “ prioritise pay increases for lower pay —— lower paid workers, rather than ceos who are already multimillionaires custom our research shows unfortunately, that has not happened.— research shows unfortunately, that has not happened. interesting, and as workers strike, _ has not happened. interesting, and as workers strike, our _ has not happened. interesting, and as workers strike, our lead - has not happened. interesting, and as workers strike, our lead story i as workers strike, our lead story again today as it has been on many

days recently, as workers strike over pay, rejecting below inflation pay offers, for our viewers, can you give a sense of how these ceo increases rate compared to the rate of inflation?— of inflation? well, i think what is imortant of inflation? well, i think what is important in _ of inflation? well, i think what is important in the _ of inflation? well, i think what is important in the context - of inflation? well, i think what is important in the context of- of inflation? well, i think what is important in the context of the i important in the context of the strikes is that very many of the people hit hardest by the cost—of—living crisis are literally the colleagues of these ceos, shop workers, factory workers, cleaners, security guards at warehouse operatives, delivery drivers, administrative staff who keep the company is going so they can pay their executives millions of pounds. and if these companies would pay a bit less to their top earners, they might have a bit more to spend on those in the middle and at the bottom. �* ., , , ., bottom. are there any companies that are buckin: bottom. are there any companies that are bucking that _ bottom. are there any companies that are bucking that trend, _ bottom. are there any companies that are bucking that trend, that _ bottom. are there any companies that are bucking that trend, that are - are bucking that trend, that are saying from an ethical perspective, they ought to be and they are

diverting more of that money to their staff, diverting more of that money to theirstaff, ratherthan diverting more of that money to their staff, rather than to the ceos? ~ 1' their staff, rather than to the ceos? ~ ~ , their staff, rather than to the ceos? ~ 4' , ., ., ceos? well, i think there is a lot of debate going _ ceos? well, i think there is a lot of debate going on _ ceos? well, i think there is a lot of debate going on to _ ceos? well, i think there is a lot of debate going on to that - ceos? well, i think there is a lot| of debate going on to that effect. some investors have supported resolutions at agm is calling for retail companies to introduce a living wage, the real living wage to all their stuff. living wage, the real living wage to all theirstuff. but living wage, the real living wage to all their stuff. but i think in the main, it is not really happening. there isn�*t sufficient pressure to that effect. and i think we need to have a debate about top earners and the economic value that they generate. because if you took even a small amount of the richest 1%, the richardsson on .1% and shared it amongst low and middle earners, it would make a potentially huge difference to their living standards —— the richest 0.1%. without making the poorest poorer. we need to debate companies either voluntarily or through government regulation to

give things like giving workers representation on company boards, there are no ftse100 companies that do that at the moment. guaranteed to trade unions access to workplaces so that more low—paid workers have a bit more negotiating power when it comes to getting a fair share of the wealth that they create through their work. and then having a negotiating body is where unions and employers can come together to set pay standards for both the highest and the lowest paid roles on an industry by industry basis. i think those measures, none of those things would adversely affect businesses and it would clearly make the uk a much fairer, happier and and it would clearly make the uk a much fairer, happierand more prosperous country. much fairer, happier and more prosperous country.— much fairer, happier and more prosperous country. briefly, the bi . . est prosperous country. briefly, the biggest companies, _ prosperous country. briefly, the biggest companies, are - prosperous country. briefly, the biggest companies, are they - biggest companies, are they continuing to say that they have to pay these rates to attract the best people at the top of the companies? yes, exactly. i mean, and certainly, leadership matters. that is always the defence that these companies

make. i would only observe that when profits are up when very high pay is being awarded, companies tend to say, oh, these are key roles, demanding work, we have to pay to get the best people. when something goes wrong at the companies, there is an environmental scandal or in the financial sector, you had all kinds of malpractices in the aftermath of the financial crisis, they would say, oh, we are running enormous companies we can�*t possibly know everything that is going on. so, yes, ithink know everything that is going on. so, yes, i think if you look at other big roles, generals and the british army, the leading scientists at elite universities, doctors and surgeons the leaders of charities doing vital humanitarian work around the world, they are all paid in the low hundreds of thousands rather than the millions that business leaders get. work in business is

stimulating, fulfilling, engaging, prestigious roles, and i don�*t think it needs to be rewarded or incentivised more heavily than any of those other jobs incentivised more heavily than any of those otherjobs ijust mentioned because they don�*t seem to have problems attracting and retaining candidates of sufficient calibre. luke hildyard, thank you very much, from the high pay centre, very interesting to talk to you. for the first time in four years, the us and south korea will revive their live—action military drills, sharpening their readiness, as the north korean nuclear threat worsens and china steps up its presence around taiwan. the 11—dayjoint drills start today in south korea. but there�*s concern that north korea could use the drills as an excuse to take military action. 0ur correspondent in south korea, jean mackenzie, was given rare access to the joint operation centre, from where the wargames are run. deep underground, an american and a south korean colonel watch north korea. i�*m learning, but it�*s difficult to get it right. in this classified bunker outside

seoul, the two militaries work together to defend against a north korean attack. this is the only place in korea where us forces and south korean forces sit side—by—side, and using all this information, they can detect almost immediately if north korea launches a weapon. between his great english and my terrible korean, we can usually muddle through a lot of different things and get to a decision quickly. the threat from north korea is increasing. its missiles are becoming more dangerous, its rhetoric more fiery. so these war games — from five years ago — are back, as the us and south korea practise how to fight their common enemy using aircraft, warships and tanks. i can�*t do it in a classroom, i can�*t do it on a chalkboard, i have to give them the most intense environment that we can create. and this is that environment. this is our gun barrel... fighter pilot captain abbey walters will train from the sky.

it's really important for us to train together with the south koreans. the communication flow is much better in the air if you've practised it multiple times, so it can go quicker, which helps us get more effects down and just be more efficient and deadly in ourjob. north korea sees these drills as a rehearsalfor an invasion. there is concern it could retaliate. in this recent speech, kim jong—un warned they could end in war. they might have the appearance of war, but the us and south korea insist these drills are defensive. in part, a show of strength, to convince north korea never to use its weapons, especially as it works to develop ones that can evade missile defences. lieutenant general scott pleus is the deputy head of the us forces korea.

i have absolutely no worries whatsoever that north korean missiles have a way of defeating our capabilities here on the peninsula. but they are making progress. and so are we. intelligence suggests north korea is on the cusp of testing its first nuclear weapon in five years. south korea says it shouldn�*t be blamed if these drills provide its ammunition. since north korea know that this one is a defensive one and they wanted to utilise this joint military drill for their own political purpose, i think that the joint military drill is one excuse for north korea to do the kind of military provocation. these war games may well provoke north korea, but faced with an increasingly formidable enemy, these forces believe they have no choice but to prepare. jean mackenzie, bbc news, seoul.

the cinema chain cineworld has said it is considering filing for bankruptcy in the us, as it continues to struggle with high debt. the company, which also owns the picturehouse chain in the uk, said it was looking at ways to restructure its business, but that its cinemas currently remain open as usual. shares in the firm fell more than 60% on friday, after reports that it was preparing to file for bankruptcy. a nationwide trial allowing gps to prescribe walking and cycling to their patients begins today. 11 local authorities have been chosen to be part of the trial, which will be looking at the impact this exercise has on patients�* mental health. it�*s hoped it will improve mental and physical wellbeing and help tackle health disparities across the uk. here�*s a story most parents will be familiar with — how long can you drive on the motorway before your child throws a tantrum? new research shows that the average child asks

"are we nearly there yet?" just 32 minutes into a carjourney and has a backseat meltdown after an hour and ten minutes. and to make matters worse, experts at nottingham trent university say that for each extra sibling in the car, the tantrum is brought forward by ten minutes. we can all do with a bit of a light relief on a monday morning, can�*t we? and today, we�*re in luck, as the award for the funniestjoke of the edinburgh fringe festival is back this year, for the first time since 2019. in a moment, we�*ll hearfrom the man behind the pasta pun — voted the public�*s favourite — but first, here�*s some of the other one—liners that made it to the top ten. iam not i am not sure i am known for my comedic delivery, but let�*s go. let�*s start off with the runner—up, then. "did you know, if you get pregnant in the amazon, it�*s next—day delivery?" how about, "i hate funerals — i�*m not a mourning person"? and... "i used to live hand to mouth. do you know what changed my life? cutlery."

two—time winning comedian masai graham was voted the winner — we�*ll leave him to reveal his gag. i tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and i couldn�*t get pasta. boo—boom! very good! well done. how is it judged? how do they decide what is the funniestjoke? do you perform it, do you write it, do you put it in a cracker, how does it work? erm, basically, they have scouts going to each... a lot of the edinburgh shows, and they will put forward jokes, and then they will compile a list and the public will choose their best off that list and, somehow, they chose mine. the comedian masai graham talking to my colleagues on bbc breakfast. let me bring you a few comments about school uniform, talking about the price of kitting out your children to start the new academic year. chelsea says, has anyone

considered embroidered patches instead of branded clothing? so families can purchase the patches at the lowest cost and add them to their children�*sclothing and they their child ren�*sclothing and they can their children�*sclothing and they can be removed and reused to keep costs low. this is, the cost on school uniforms has been a slow but steep group for ages. minimise monogrammed items to one size unisex items like ties and a badge or similar that actually clips onto a pocket. another person voting for badges rather than monogrammed items. and huxley mabel said, i don�*t know if they have been a teacher, but a useful reminder, please label your uniforms with a permanent marker. without a name, they are all the same. if you have bought them, you really don�*t want to lose them in a pile of anonymous uniform. keep those comments coming in and let me know if you found a way of saving. a new law has come in or is coming in next month to try to make uniforms more affordable, that is for parents in england. but that,

of course, is missing out the crucial time over the summer when most people do by their uniforms for the new academic year. let me know how much your uniforms have cost and weather you have made any savings. you can do that on twitter. lets join carroll for the latest details on the weather. the weather will be changeable with rain in the forecast and sunshine and showers. today, we have this clutch of fronts moving from the west to the east. it is bringing in some heavy and persistent rain for some heavy and persistent rain for some of us, but not all, and as it clears away, we will see showers behind. quite a bit of rain moving across northern ireland, parts of scotland and north—west england into the south—western wales. as we have already gone through this morning. and we could see heavy rain move into the midlands as well as northern england, southern scotland, through the rest of the day. the far south east starts in a bright note,

but cloud builds here. and behind the rain, we are looking at a return to some sunny spells and showers. the driest, brightest conditions will be across the north—east of scotland. here, temperatures 15 to 70 degrees. but for the rest of us, we are looking at 18 to a top temperature of 25. this evening, we say goodbye to this rain, really showery and moves away, there will be some showers left behind it. a fair amount be some showers left behind it. a fairamount of be some showers left behind it. a fair amount of cloud at times, and some clear skies. we also see a return to some mist and fog patches forming. we also have a new weather front across the west which will introduce some showery outbreaks of rain. and it will be quite a muggy night, especially so across the far south east. into tomorrow, this is the weather front by the end of the night. it will be pushing eastward through the day. this little one is moving across parts of south west england, more so wales. and we start with dry and bright conditions across eastern areas. so our first weather front comes in and pushes

east as a weak feature, the second comes up from the south west bringing rain here and also into wales. and it is going to feel quite humid tomorrow, temperatures up a touch on today, 15 to 27 or 28 degrees. ince wednesday, we have this weather front again moving slowly south eastwards. —— into wednesday. not into the far south east until later if at all, and on the other side of it, dry and bright conditions with showers still. and noticeably windy across the far north—west. temperatures on the up, 27, 28, 29 being the highs. through thursday, high pressure starts to settle things down, but we have a weather front into the north—west, that will bring in some rain and later, we could see thundery showers across parts of southern england. but beyond that, it will be largely dry, fairly settled, orjust the odd shower.
