good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the investigation into the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel continues — police are questioning a former drug dealer who was the intended target of the attack. pupils get their gcse results this morning, the first to be based on exams since the pandemic, and it's predicted that grades will drop. a warning rising energy prices could cause some small businesses to go under. good morning from a bakery where i am finding out about the pressures they are facing. how best—before labels have hit their use—by date. asda is the latest supermarket to remove the labels to tackle food waste.

rangers are back in the big time after beating psv eindhoven to reach the group stages of the champions league for the first time in 12 years. good morning. currently we have got some heavy, thundery downpours moving across south—east england which could lead to flash flooding, that will clear through the course of the afternoon. behind it for most it will be dry and sunny with a variable amount of cloud. it's thursday the 25th of august. our main story. a gunman who shot dead a nine—year—old girl in her own home in liverpool remains at large this morning. olivia pratt—korbel was killed on monday night when a convicted drug dealer barged into her house while trying to escape a gunman who continued firing into the property. his original target is now under arrest in hospital but the killer is yet to be caught, as tomos morgan reports.

three days on, and the search for answers as to how and why nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel died by the hands of a masked gunman who was chasing another man continues. new cctv footage has emerged now recording the moment four shots were fired in olivia's house, one fatally hitting olivia, and one injuring her mother. the gunmen then fired two more times. 35—year—old joseph nee, the intended target of the killer, was hit and taken to hospital. he has since been arrested. merseyside police said they would be recalling nee to prison for allegedly breaching the terms of his licence condition, and they would be continuing to question him in connection to the death of nine—year—old olivia. although those living here in dovecot are seeing the progress being made in the investigation, there are still concerns and some anger.

he should have been arrested for the crime, notjust the thing of breaking his licence. do you feel safe? no, no—one feels safe. because, you know, you should be safe in your own home. that poor girl was in her own home. she opened the door like most of us would have done when we heard a noise outside, to see what's going on, and someone barged in. authorities have again repeated their message that this is not a time to stay silent when it comes to catching the killer of a nine—year—old girl. ordinary people, their ordinary lives have been changed, haven't they, forever, and they will never forget this period. but what we need to do is to rebuild, and we will do. i spoke to the home secretary last night about how we do that and she has promised us all the support that she can muster and we will be holding the government to that. we want to see the perpetrators being brought to boot

as quickly as possible. for families to feel safe at home on the streets once again, justice by the police is needed and it cannot come quick enough for a community that's been torn apart. tomos morgan, bbc news, liverpool. tomos is at the scene this morning. what happens from now? well, the olice will what happens from now? well, the police will continue _ what happens from now? well, the police will continue to _ what happens from now? well, the police will continue to question - police will continue to question joseph nee, they have also been given a name by two different sources in relation to the government involved but more detail has now emerged regarding joseph nee. the bbc understands he was jailed in the part for drug offences and in 2018, he was jailed for burglary. he also has previous driving convictions and the police have reiterated that both men have no links to olivia's family. there has been much talk that this killing

happened in a 24—hour period when there were others across the city of liverpool. there was another shooting on monday night, sunday night, and anotherfatal stabbing night, and another fatal stabbing also night, and anotherfatal stabbing also on monday night. monday was also on monday night. monday was also the 15th anniversary of the death of 11—year—olds rhys also the 15th anniversary of the death of 11—year—olds rhstones, the boy who is mistakenly tragically shot by a gang member in 2007. what has unnerved people in this area is that another tragedy like this to a young child has happened again in this city but also that this is picketing a picture of the city but which may not be true. —— painting a picture. there was a crime here but this level, this sort of tragedy is not the norm and they don't want this to be tainting the picture of their city from the people that we have spoken to here. they want justice for the family of olivia, and they are hoping that this can come as swiftly as possible. thank ou ve come as swiftly as possible. thank you very much. — come as swiftly as possible. thank you very much, tomos. _

a russian attack on a train station in ukraine has now killed 22 people, according to authorities there. the attack took place in the east of the country on the day ukraine was marking its independence from the soviet union. our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. bring us right up to date. we have seen this death toll of 22 people, what other information is there? yes, charlie, naga, yesterday celebrations to mark independence day across the country in kyiv were cancelled because of fears that russia could use the occasion to launch attacks. here in the b air raid sirens sounded multiple times but there were no reported incidents. the biggest strike happened in the city of chaplyne where a missile hit a train station, crushed passenger trains and set them on fire. at least 22 people were killed according to president zelensky. last night, he said search and rescue operations would continue

today in this town. some dramatic details coming out of this town in the east of the country. elsewhere, russian shelling was reported in the city of kharkiv in the east, also in towns in the south. all of these cities have been under constant russian bombardment in recent weeks. yesterday was the day that marked half a year since the start of this russian invasion. the conflict seems to be at a deadlock and there is no prospect of peace talks happening any time soon. prospect of peace talks happening any time soon-— prospect of peace talks happening an time soon. ., ~ ,, , . any time soon. thank you very much, for the moment, _ any time soon. thank you very much, for the moment, hugo. _ a police chief accused of botching the response to the fatal shooting of 19 schoolchildren and two teachers in texas, has been sacked. the dismissal came exactly three months after the attack at the robb elementary school in uvalde. our us correspondent peter bowes reports. it was the deadliest school shooting in the united states in almost a decade. tragically familiar scenes. a rampage in the small town

of uvalde, where there has been growing pressure for the police to be held accountable. at approximately 11:32am this morning, there was a mass casualty incident at robb elemetary school in uvalde, texas. pete arrendondo was in charge of the 6—member police force assigned to the school. shortly after the shooting, it emerged that it was 77 minutes before officers at the scene reached the door when the massacre happened. before officers at the scene breached the door when the massacre happened. eventually, a group of officers from the us border control moved in to kill the 18—year—old gunman. the decision to sack the police chief came at a public meeting of the school board. relatives and friends of those who died spoke of their grief and anger at the way the police responded to the shooting. i'm here today to make a statement. if a law enforcement�*s job is to protect and serve, why didn't they protect and serve my friends and teachers on may 24? i have messages for pete arrendondo and all the law enforcement that was there on that day.

turn in your badge and step down, you don't deserve to wear one. mr arrendondo did not attend the meeting. his lawyer said he had received death threats and said the vote to dismiss him amounted to a public lynching. the 7—member school board discussed their decision behind closed doors. do not take this into closed sessions. we deserve to hear it. our babies are dead, our teachers are dead, our parents are dead. the least y'all can do is show us the respect and do this in the public. i move that good cause exists to terminate the noncertified contract of pete arrendondo effective immediately. when it came, the decision to sack the police chief was unanimous. there was applause from the audience, but in a statement, mr arrendondo's lawyer said the school district had failed to carry out any investigation establishing evidence supporting their decision to terminate the employment of his client. peter bowes, bbc news.

the widow of the us basketball star kobe bryant has been awarded $16 million in damages over leaked photos of the helicopter crash that killed him and their daughter in 2020. vanessa bryant said she'd had panic attacks after learning that the images taken by sheriff's deputies and firefighters in los angeles had been shared. christopher chester, who lost his wife and a daughter in the same crash, was awarded $15 million. students in england, wales and northern ireland will receive their gcse and some vocational course results today. it's the first time in two years that the grades will be based mainly on exam performance following the disruption caused by the covid pandemic. our education reporter vanessa clarke has more. the last few years have been tough and they've been rough. we've all had to adapt to a new way of learning, but we've all come out the other side. studying for exams is always hard, but for the students here at moorside high school

in salford, the last few years have also been marked by lockdowns, social distancing and the rise of online learning. today, they're hoping to celebrate all they have gone through. it was a bit more intense because you don't get that respite of making a rubbishjoke to your mate, or talking about the football. so it ended up being just a lot of, like, lessons would sometimes be a lot shorter, but a lot more packed in. so you sometimes have to look back afterwards and unpack what you've done. you can't not say that it's been difficult, but the members of staff have really helped with intervention sessions and really trying their best to make it work for us and taking time out of their lives and their spare time to help us to achieve our best and do the best that we can. and for students that may be disappointed, help is on hand. everybody today has achieved something because they've come through some of the most challenging times across the country and across the world. but yeah, going back to those results, we'll see what's in the envelopes and we'll make sure that all the students get the appropriate support to go on and achieve what they want to do.

this year has been described as a transition year. as with last week's a—level results day, overall grades are expected to drop after two years of exceptionally high marks based on teacher assessments. but the pass rate should still be higher than 2019, the last year of formal exams. there are concerns that students from deprived areas have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, and this could be reflected in today's grades. they've seen the most disruption. they have the worst access to devices and internet for home learning. and that's going to have a knock—on effect on their schooling. we've had several leading indicators indicate that those attainment gaps between those from less well—off backgrounds and better off backgrounds are opening up. gcse, btec first, technical and tech award students will all receive their results. after a number of years filled with disruption, these students say they are looking forward to moving on to their next challenge. vanessa clarke, bbc news, salford.

just coming up to 13 minutes past six on thursday morning, it is time for us to take it morning to carol who is right there right now, telling us about storms depending on where you are. absolutely right, good morning. some of us will have a fine day with a fair bit of sunshine but for others we currently have some thunderstorms, torrential downpours at that. we have got a weak line of rain moving south but we also have thunderstorms which have been coming up thunderstorms which have been coming up through the course of the night from the south and pushing steadily in the direction of east anglia, kent and parts of the home counties. one point in essex had 36 millimetres of rain in one hour and you can see the track that they are taking. it could lead to flash flooding because the ground is so dry and they will take their time to move away. for some in the far east, not clearing until the afternoon.

there will be residual cloud behind it but it will break up, but for most of us it will be dry and sunny. after a humid start in the south, we will see some pressure conditions move in. in the north and west, we will see the cloud bill to the day. some showers around heralding the arrival of a front end temperature is 15 in the north to 2a as we push down towards the south. this evening there will be clear skies, mist and fog patches forming. when the front coming in from the west producing cloud and showers, and if you are in the south of and you will see these temperatures are not as oppressive as it has been in the last few nights. tomorrow we have a weak weather front producing a few showers, some could be heavy across southern scotland and northern england but on either side, dry and bright weather. a fair bit of cloud tomorrow but by some sunshine. thank you, see you later on.

the rise in energy bills is adding more pressure on small businesses which are struggling to pass on higher costs, pay staff and some are even considering cutting their opening hours. hannah's at a bakery in suffolk to tell us more. isa is a bit more about how they being affected. —— tell us a bit more. it is all here, bakers are famously up it is all here, bakers are famously up early, the doe machine is already going on over here we have the ovens which are on pretty much 21w. the cost of that is going up and unlike at home, businesses do not have a limit on the amounts that they can pay for their energy. that's why the british chamber of commerce have written to the government asking for a range of measures to be introduced to limit the impact of rising energy prices on businesses, including, they say, they would like to see

pandemic style emergency grants. so, how big is the problem? perhaps not surprisingly, 89% of small businesses say their gusts are higher now than they were a year ago. many think that that means over the next year or so they will struggle to grow their business. more than half expect to stay the same size, downsize or perhaps close because of rising cost pressures. that's a tough decision when small businesses have to do it but one that some are already making. it gets to the stage where it's almost laughable. you just get your bill in, you go, we can't do that. and then, as i said earlier, you can't plan. so you can't structure the next year financially because you don't know what your energy bill is going to be. we looked at trying to keep it going for the autumn. we looked at trying to get to christmas trade. we said, ok, well, what do we do? do we borrow money, keep us going and hope for a good trade?

and then we just said, no. like, if we borrow money, we're going to end up in debt with that loan and probably not trade sufficiently to get the profit to pay costs. utilities like water bills and energy bills were a major part of that pressure, energy up more than a quarter. that compares to the past year. it's expected that when some businesses come to negotiate contract again, many of them have been paying a fixed price, some of them might see a four or five fold increase in energy bills. as that's the cost of fuel which has also gone up the cost of fuel which has also gone up and effect many businesses having to deliver things, it's easy to see why some are having to pass costs onto customers already. we've had to increase our prices two times, three times this year already. hopefully not again. but it has dropped, business has dropped by about 30%. but we're still going. with me now is chris weston who's the owner of weston's bakery here. you are going to be on a new energy

"we stand together" is the liverpool echo's headline. the paper says the city is united, with residents and local celebrities coming together to call for olivia's killer brought to justice. the metro also has a picture of olivia with her cousin, and the family's promise to getjustice. boris johnson's visit to kyiv features on the telegraph's front page, with his call for the uk's allies not to waver in their support for ukraine. the headline is his comment: "we're paying higher bills, ukraine is paying in blood". and on the eve of the energy price cap rise, the mirrorfeatures images of 36 people and the headline: "the whole country speaks with one voice but still we are ignored. freeze our bills now". i want to show you this. i have learned something this morning and i think it is very interesting. so,

good news, because so much of our habitat, the uk's habitat has been restored, blue butterflies have had the better summer in 150 years. best summer because it has benefited other rare insects including the rugged boyle beetle, i don't know what that looks like, and the shrill cardi b, head of that? iloathed what that looks like, and the shrill cardi b, head of that?— what that looks like, and the shrill cardi b, head of that? what is that? that is the large _ cardi b, head of that? what is that? that is the large blue _ cardi b, head of that? what is that? that is the large blue and _ cardi b, head of that? what is that? that is the large blue and they - cardi b, head of that? what is that? that is the large blue and they are l that is the large blue and they are mating. they are thriving on british meadows because the species became extinct, because there was less grazing on land. so the grass was growing too long and they were not able to breed. what the large blue does to survive, it's able to breed. what the large blue does to survive, its young caterpillars trick ants into believing that they are young and grabs, so the ants take them into their nests, so the butterfly grubs

have derek skipperjoining us at 8:15am, he is 92 years old and he is one of those very excited to students waiting for his gcse results. i think they come at 830, so good luck for all of you who are waiting. derek who sat gcse maths is joining us. fingers crossed all is well. maybe the results are coming out earlier, atm i think. he well. maybe the results are coming out earlier, atm i think.— out earlier, atm i think. he will aet an out earlier, atm i think. he will get an e-mail. _ out earlier, atm i think. he will get an e-mail, and _ out earlier, atm i think. he will get an e-mail, and then - out earlier, atm i think. he will get an e-mail, and then we - out earlier, atm i think. he will get an e-mail, and then we willj out earlier, atm i think. he will - get an e-mail, and then we will chat get an e—mail, and then we will chat to him. he is 92? 92. amazing. as we've heard, there are headlines in today's papers about rising energy bills. that fear is also being felt across europe. the belgian prime minister has said the country could be facing ten years of hard winters. our europe correspondent jessica parker has been to see how that warning has been received by people there. veronique often wears a smile.

though her money, she says, doesn't go far. she gets a discount on energy bills through a social tariff, along with a million belgian households. but still, she's taking fewer showers and won't heat her flat above 16 degrees this winter. higher energy costs will have consequences. translation: if they're increasing, l then i'll have even less to live on. | i don't know what i'll do then. eventually i'll have to go for food parcels to help me eat. and that's happening to more and more people i know. europe is awash with warnings about hard times ahead, and information campaigns on how to cut energy use. it's hitting the news as governments use tax breaks, price caps and lump sum payments to help people with rising prices. how long can this go on for in terms of providing this level of government support?

this cannot go on forever. so that means that we have to look for structural measures. we need a price cap at european level. at the same time, we need to accelerate the energy transition because renewable energy is the most affordable form of energy and will bring energy bills down. but moving to a green economy is a long haul. i'm on the north coast of belgium. to the west is france, across the water is the uk. and while countries are taking national measures, this squeeze on supply that's pushing up energy prices is spilling across borders. and governments looking at ways to help face the same question everywhere. will it be enough? i've been working on energy poverty now for the last ten years, and it's never been this bad. it's not only people in poverty that are worrying. it's a big middle class of people who are also worrying about their energy bill. the war in ukraine feels far away

from here as families enjoy the last days of summer. but supply cuts from russia are feeding a crisis that could seriously test political and public resolve. jessica parker, bbc news, belgium. the effects of high energy prices being felt is something we will take a close look at throughout the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. more than a thousand new electric vehicle charging points will be built across england — with barnet in north london being part of a £20 million government pilot scheme. the scheme — backed by government funding and supported by investment from industry — will see barnet council awarded £3.5 million. the government says it hopes to encourage more drivers to go elecric, saving money on fuel and running costs, and improving air quality.

bin collection workers in east london are set to strike for a week as part of a pay dispute. around 130 unite members in newham — including loaders, sweepers and drivers — will walk out from 27th august until 3rd september, demanding a 10% pay rise. newham council said it has offered workers a pay increase between 7.8% and 9.9% in a bid to avoid a strike. the charity guide dogs is appealing for more people to volunteer as foster parents for guide dogs in training. before covid, around 1,400 dogs were trained each year. but due to lockdowns and the various restrictions, the numbers of dogs being bred and trained has fallen significantly, which means there is now a shortfall in the number of dogs able to be matched with a visually impaired person. we had to stop our breeding programme for around about five months during the pandemic. also, as far as the dogs were concerned, we've seen a difference in the dogs that have lived through the pandemic,

in terms of they've missed some developmental milestones. it's now meaning that not only have we got fewer dogs, but we've also had fewer dogs that are actually entering training and going on to be successful as guide dogs. a look at the travel situation. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another warm, humid night, but fresher air is on the way. ahead of that, however, some thunderstorms, and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place, valid until 3:00pm. you can see heavy bursts of rain. we've already had a few thunderstorms coming up from the south — they're going to continue through this morning, gradually clearing into the afternoon. quite a bit of rain, short space of time, but drier later with some sunshine. temperatures fresher, as promised, at around 23 celsius. now, overnight tonight, it's largely dry and largely clear. the minimum temperature finally a little more comfortable for sleeping —

between ten and 13 celsius, the minimum. turning to friday, again, we've got some sunshine, but another cold front is sinking south. now, as it does head towards us, it starts to fragment. it will offer us a bit more cloud, the potentialfor one or two isolated showers, but largely dry tomorrow and that sunshine getting up to a maximum of around 2a celsius. into the bank holiday weekend, of course, a ridge of high pressure builds and that high pressure stays in charge throughout — so plenty of fine, dry weather in the forecast, some sunshine — a bit breezier for sunday and into bank holiday monday, but temperatures staying in the low—to—mid 20s. that's it, we're back in half an hour. in the meantime, don't forget you can download the bbc news app, or ask your smartspeaker any time to "play bbc news for london". hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on today's programme... lioness jill scott will be on the sofa for a chat

real chance here but it goes over... rangers needed a reset — tom lawrence nearly provided it. but they wouldn't be denied moments later. a moment to forget for andre ramalho, a moment to remember for antonio colak. rangers have the goal! and it proved to be enough. time ticked away, rangers hung on. theirjourney back to the top complete, now it's time to write some new history. michael redford, bbc news. ten years ago we were, you know, at the lowest point we have in history. er... and, you know, it took us really hard work — everyone involved, from building the club back again to the level we achieved now. so it's... it's a proud moment for me to also, you know, thank all the people who gave, you know, so much energy and time to build this club back again. what the job he what thejob he has done what the job he has done there. tom pidcock is british

cycling's newest superstar. he's won olympic gold in mountain biking, followed that up with the cyclo—cross world championship, and on the road, he won the famous alpe d'huez stage in his first tour de france. matt warwick has been to france to meet him as he prepares to add the mountain bike world championship to his collection this weekend. cycling's biggest race, the tour de france, returned to its dramatic best this year — thanks in part to the arrival of a british superstar. pidcock�*s win on the famously twisty tarmac of alpe d'huez was historic, descending as he did at 105 kilometres an hour. he joins the greats of the sport now, including geraint thomas, and five—time winner bernard hinault. i remember more the crowds than the win itself because it was just unbelievable. i mean, my ears were properly ringing that night — fighting to win a stage at the tour de france, and my brother's there, screaming at the top of his voice, cheering me on. it's... yeah, ijust filled up with emotion. pidcock is in les gets for the mountain bike world championships — a discipline he says could require

more skill than the road. judging by the sheer drops on this course, he could well be right. road cycling has the highest physical level. cyclo—cross and mountain bike don't have as high a physical level, but you're more of a rounded athlete. skill and balance and general athleticism. i am a daredevil, but i'm not stupid. i know... i know my limits, i know my capabilities, and i ride, drive — whatever — within them. pidcock has proven himself on a mountain bike before, of course — having won olympic gold last year — but this represents something unique. he's already won the cyclo—cross world title injanuary, so victory here and a win in september's road world championships in australia, and he will be the first male rider to win three of cycling's world titles in a single season. if he does it, he will make history. and with history comes legacy — if not for a while. if someone asks you the best

cyclists in the world, i want to say my name, you know? and it doesn't mean that i need to win five tour de frances, you know? if i win one, i'll be happy. maybe i want to go and try and win again, you know? but if i win a tour, olympic mountain bike gold, world champs in three disciplines, classics — no—one else has ever done that. it's a pride a whole country will feel if pidcock continues to enthral on anything with two wheels. matt warwick, bbc news, les gets. how amazing did that backdrop look? and finally, organisers of this autumn's rugby league world cup have revealed the winning design and name for the official mascot — known as rug—bee. the worker bee is synonymous with manchester, which will host the men's, women's and wheelchair finals. over 2,000 children submitted their suggestions, and the winning design here was inspired by nine—year—olds james hanley and samuel liptrot.

asda and waitrose will remove best before labels on fruit and veg from next month. tesco and marks & spencer have already scrapped them. and morrisons now uses "best before" labels on most of its milk — rather than "use by". we are joined now by consumer journalist felicity hannah. good morning. i found good morning. ifound myself hearing this story asking, what do i see when i buy things. use by, best buy, best before. what do i see a lot of people will simply see the date and won't look at whether it is a use by four best buy and will think they shouldn't be eating the four best buy and will think they shouldn't be eatin- four best buy and will think they shouldn't be eating the field after that date. use _ shouldn't be eating the field after that date. use by _ shouldn't be eating the field after that date. use by is _ shouldn't be eating the field after that date. use by is about - shouldn't be eating the field after that date. use by is about food i that date. use by is about food safety, so you could take that fairly seriously. it is safe up to that point, you shouldn't eat it after that. that point, you shouldn't eat it after that-— that point, you shouldn't eat it afterthat. , _ , , after that. used by stays intact, that remains. _

them with stock rotation, make sure they are marking down or taking away they are marking down or taking away the last fresh fruit and veg so it sells first. the really important message here is the amount of money that consumers can safe this way. i make a bbc podcast called the big green money shelf and we were told by the organisation that campaigns against food waste that the average home throws away about £700 worth of goods, edible food every single year. we are in a cost—of—living crisis, tomorrow we find out what our energy bills will go up by. £700 a year is a difference... if we get a year is a difference... if we get a bit more careful about the food we are throwing away, we can see that difference in our pockets and budgets straightaway and it will help with what will be a really tough winter.— help with what will be a really touch winter. ., .., ,., tough winter. the logical end point, eo - le tough winter. the logical end point, --eole of tough winter. the logical end point, people of a — tough winter. the logical end point, people of a certain _ tough winter. the logical end point, people of a certain age _ tough winter. the logical end point, people of a certain age will - people of a certain age will remember, there was no date on anything you bought, you just decide yourself whether you could carry on eating it. why don't we go back to

to see you this morning. thank you very much if you happen to be in shropshire today and see a nine—foot dragon running around — don't worry. it's just dayna power training for his next marathon. he's been donning the costume for years — after a tragedy in his home town inspired him to try to do something positive. joanne writtle went to meet him. puff the running dragon is a popular site in bridgnorth. what many of his fans don't know if the remarkable story of the 66—year—old man inside the 15 kilo costume. i started when i was 55 years old, i was watching the great north run on the tv, and the atmosphere looked incredible. ijust thought, i wouldn't mind giving that a go. sent off the application form, two months later, a call—back, you are in. i thought, oh my goodness me. after that, there was no stopping him. he has run 15 full and 50 health marathons as far afield as philadelphia. the first full marathon was something i will never, everforget. it was new york marathon 2010, what an experience that was.

no going back now. he was inspired to run for asthma and lung uk following the heartbreaking death of a two—year—old boy. i think the fact that he heard about a little boy that had died in his home town, had died of an asthma attack, and because he himself had asthma, i think that's just great, to get up and do something that you feel makes a difference. he hasn't always been puff. asthma uk put an appeal out on their social media for somebody to run as their dragon, so, yes, they sent it me and i started training round bridgnorth in this dragon costume. never been seen in bridgnorth before. social media was going mad. this summer, he was a queen's baton bearer in the run—up to the commonwealth games. but in the first lockdown in 2020, dayna became ill. suffered a heart attack. first thing the ambulance

people said when they came in, "oh, it's puff, puff doesn't get injured! puff doesn't get ill." and they said, well, puff, you have got to come to hospital with us now. and you're not running, you're coming in the ambulance. it was heartbreaking. i was really frightened and scared. on st george's day a year later, he began training again. he's currently waiting for a thyroid operation but aims to run the london marathon as puff again next year. i'm driven byjust smiles on people's faces and the difference i can make. although i don't think it is a lot, people keep telling me, you are making a difference, ijust love it. joanne writtle, bbc news. loving the lipstick on the dragon. that is wonderful. good on you. good luck to you- — time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london,

i'm victoria hollins. bin collection workers in east london are set to strike for a week as part of a pay dispute. around 130 unite members in newham, including loaders, sweepers and drivers, will walk out from 27 august until three september demanding a 10% pay rise. newham council said it has offered workers a pay increase between 7.8% and 9.9% in a bid to avoid a strike. more than a thousand new electric vehicle charging points will be built across england, with barnet in north london being part of a £20 million government pilot scheme. the scheme, backed by government funding and supported by investment from industry, will see barnet council awarded £3.5 million. the government says it hopes to encourage more drivers to go electric saving money on fuel and running costs, and improving air quality. the charity guide dogs is appealing for more people to volunteer as foster parents for guide dogs in training. before covid, around 1,400 dogs were trained each year. but due to lockdowns and the various restrictions,

the numbers of dogs being bred and trained has fallen significantly, which means there is now a shortfall in the number of dogs able to be matched with a visually impaired person. we had to stop our breeding programme for around about five months during the pandemic. also, as far as the dogs were concerned, we've seen a difference in the dogs that have lived through the pandemic, in terms of they've missed some developmental milestones. it's now meaning that not only have we got fewer dogs, but we've also had fewer dogs that are actually entering training and going on to be successful as guide dogs. a quick look at the travel situation and there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from minor delays on the circle line and the district line and london overground have severe delays. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another warm, humid night, but fresher air is on the way. ahead of that, however, some thunderstorms, and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place,

valid until 3:00pm. you can see heavy bursts of rain. we've already had a few thunderstorms coming up from the south — they're going to continue through this morning, gradually clearing into the afternoon. quite a bit of rain, short space of time, but drier later with some sunshine. temperatures fresher, as promised, at around 23 celsius. now, overnight tonight, it's largely dry and largely clear. the minimum temperature finally a little more comfortable for sleeping — between ten and 13 celsius, the minimum. turning to friday, again, we've got some sunshine, but another cold front is sinking south. now, as it does head towards us, it starts to fragment. it will offer us a bit more cloud, the potentialfor one or two isolated showers, but largely dry tomorrow and that sunshine getting up to a maximum of around 24 celsius. into the bank holiday weekend, of course, a ridge of high pressure builds and that high pressure stays in charge throughout — so plenty of fine, dry weather in the forecast, some sunshine — a bit breezier for sunday and into bank holiday monday, but temperatures staying in the low—to—mid 20s.

that's it. we're back in half an hour. in the meantime don't forget you can download the bbc news app.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today. the investigation into the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel continues. police are questioning a former drug dealer who was the intended target of the attack. there is a team talk going on at the moment because thousands of pupils will be picking up their gcse results injust under an hour. we will be finding out how they got on. a warning that rising energy prices could cause some small businesses to go under. good morning from a bakery where i have been finding out about the cost pressures they are under. rangers are back in the big time after beating psv eindhoven to reach the group stages of the champions league for the first time in 12 years. and we'll talk to lioness jill scott about her incredible euros victory and why she's saying goodbye

to the biggest part of her life. good morning. today we have got some heavy infantry downpours moving across south—east england. they will clear into the afternoon but for most of us, we are looking at a dry day with some sunshine, but some rain in the west later. all of the details throughout this morning's programme. it's thursday the 25th of august. our main story. a gunman who shot dead a nine—year—old girl in her own home in liverpool is still being hunted by police this morning. olivia pratt—korbel was killed on monday night when a convicted drug dealer barged into her house while trying to escape a gunman who continued firing into the property. his original target is now under arrest in hospital but the killer is yet to be caught, as tomos morgan reports. three days on, and the search for answers as to how and why nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel

died by the hands of a masked gunman who was chasing another man continues. new cctv footage has emerged now recording the moment four shots were fired in olivia's house, one fatally hitting olivia, and one injuring her mother. the gunmen then fired two more times. 35—year—old joseph nee, the intended target of the killer, was hit and taken to hospital. he has since been arrested. merseyside police said they would be recalling nee to prison for allegedly breaching the terms of his licence condition, and they would be continuing to question him in connection to the death of nine—year—old olivia. although those living here in dovecot are seeing the progress being made in the investigation, there are still concerns and some anger. he should have been arrested for the crime, notjust the thing of breaking his licence.

do you feel safe? no, no—one feels safe. because, you know, you should be safe in your own home. that poor girl was in her own home. she opened the door like most of us would have done when we heard a noise outside, to see what's going on, and someone barged in. authorities have again repeated their message that this is not a time to stay silent when it comes to catching the killer of a nine—year—old girl. ordinary people, their ordinary lives have been changed, haven't they, forever, and they will never forget this period. but what we need to do is to rebuild, and we will do. i spoke to the home secretary last night about how we do that and she has promised us all the support that she can muster and we will be holding the government to that. we want to see the perpetrators being brought to boot as quickly as possible. for families to feel safe at home on the streets once again,

justice by the police is needed and it cannot come quick enough for a community that's been torn apart. tomos morgan, bbc news, liverpool. tomos is at the scene this morning. we are learning a little more about the man who initially forced his way into olivia's house?— into olivia's house? that's right. the bbc understands _ into olivia's house? that's right. the bbc understands that - into olivia's house? that's right. the bbc understands that nee i into olivia's house? that's right. i the bbc understands that nee was jailed for drug offences and burglary in 2018. he also has several driving convictions including two for the theft of a car and also dangerous driving. merseyside police have yet to identify him but they have said that in the hunt for the gunman, they have been given the same name by two different sources and have also stressed once again that both men were not known to olivia's family. of were not known to olivia's family. of course this happened on monday evening. on the sunday there was

breached the door where the massacre happened. eventually, a group of officers from the us border control moved in to kill the 18—year—old gunman. the decision to sack the police chief came at a public meeting of the school board. relatives and friends of those who died spoke of their grief and anger at the way the police responded to the shooting. i'm here today to make a statement. if a law enforcement�*s job is to protect and serve, why didn't they protect and serve my friends and teachers on may 24? i have messages for pete arrendondo and all the law enforcement that was there on that day. turn in your badge and step down, you don't deserve to wear one. mr arrendondo did not attend the meeting. his lawyer said he had received death threats and said the vote to dismiss him amounted to a public lynching. the 7—member school board discussed their decision behind closed doors.

do not take this into closed sessions. we deserve to hear it. our babies are dead, our teachers are dead, our parents are dead. the least y'all can do is show us the respect and do this in the public. i move that good cause exists to terminate the noncertified contract of pete arrendondo effective immediately. when it came, the decision to sack the police chief was unanimous. there was applause from the audience, but in a statement, mr arrendondo's lawyer said the school district had failed to carry out any investigation establishing evidence supporting their decision to terminate the employment of his client. peter bowes, bbc news. the widow of the us basketball star kobe bryant has been awarded $16 million in damages over leaked photos of the helicopter crash that killed him and their daughter in 2020. vanessa bryant said she'd had panic attacks after learning that the images, taken by sheriff's deputies and firefighters in los angeles, had been shared.

christopher chester, who lost his wife and a daughter in the same crash, was awarded $15 million. students in england, wales and northern ireland will receive their gcse and some vocational course results today. it's the first time in two years that the grades will be based mainly on exam performance following the disruption caused by the covid pandemic. our education correspondent elaine dunkley�*s at a school in wigan. so, elaine, just over an hour to go, just under an hour, quite a few gathered there. always exciting if not maybe slightly worrying day? absolutely. you can certainly feel the nerves and excitement because these are the first pupils to have sat their gcses since the start of the pandemic and it has been hard, there have been many challenges, and there have been many challenges, and the one thing it has taught them is

about resilience. over the summer i caught up with some of them to see how they were getting on. the nerves, last minute cramming and stress, made all the more difficult for the class of 2022. in the next couple of weeks, it's absolutely essential that we have a good revision programme. from revision through to results day, we followed pupils here at the deanery church of england school in wigan as they sit their gcses despite the disruption caused by the pandemic. we have suffered so much with all the covid happening, the pandemic, missing school, people going off, i think it was just really stressful and just hard for everyone. it's been a journey. it's definitely been a journey, a tough one. but, you know, i've got through it and i'm really proud of myself and i'm proud of all my friends. for callum, esther and chelsea, the end of exams also marks the end of their time at this school. how much do you think the advanced information helped? i think it helped massively. we've caught up with them over the summer as they prepare to head off in different directions. off we go! for callum, there has been little rest as he pursues

his dream of becoming a professional footballer. wigan athletic, wow, it means everything. i've always supported the club from when i was born. it's all i could ever remember. callum is training at wigan athletic academy and is doing a vocational qualification with the club. it's equivalent to three a—levels. it's a btec in sport. the career path that i'm going down, it's not certain. it's never certain, at any time an injury can come up. so i want to just do the best that i can for myself and being able to pursue the start of a career in sport and then also be able to do education about sport on the side as well, it's amazing. so are you looking forward to college? i'm like buzzing for college. chelsea and esther are both doing a—levels. really, really love biology. being able to have the chance to do that in college, - it's like, oh, gosh! they need to do well in their gcses, but they're not letting the fact there will be fewer top grades compared to last year deter them. why should i give up? you know, why should i stop trying? i should be the best, be the best i can be,j you know, make myself proud.

i really want to be a doctor. i really hope that when i open those results, those grades really- get me into that career. it is a concernjust from a personal achievement point of view. you obviously want to get high grades, but it's a hit that our year group had to take to re—adjust the standards of what it was before teacher—assessed grades. chelsea and esther are excited about a new life at college, but it will be hard to say goodbye to the teachers who got them through their gcses. i feel like the teachers have been absolutely amazing, you know, . especially when times are like really hard, . when it was like the first week of exams they were just like, i you know, keep on going and don't give up. - the pandemic has been a tough lesson in resilience. after today's results, chelsea, esther, callum and thousands of others will be moving on to the next phase in their education and hoping for a future free from the disruption of their school days.

a weak weather front across england and wales which will fizzle out. in the south we have had some torrential rain this morning across parts of east anglia. where we have got greens and yellows in the charts, the heaviest bursts are likely to be, and there are certain to some is embedded in that. eventually in the afternoon they will pull away into the north sea, the cloud breaking up behind them and foremost we are looking at some sunny spells. towards the west, thick cloud arrives, heralding the arrival of another weather front. after that humid start in the south it will freshen up through the afternoon. tonight some clear skies, mist and fog patches warming. here is the weather front in the west, still producing thick cloud and some showery epochs of rain. tonight it will be a much fresher night for sleeping in especially the further

south you travel, compared to what it has been that like for the last few nights. the weather front is slipping southwards tomorrow, some showers will be heavy in southern scotland and northern england but on either side we will see brighter skies develop after a cloudy start. temperatures tomorrow, looking at about 15 in the north to 24 in the south. thank you. when anoosheh ashoori was serving five years in an iranian prison on trumped up charges he promised himself that, if he ever got back home to the uk, he'd run the london marathon. back in march, he was released at the same time as nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. and it didn't take long for him to keep that promise and pull on his trainers. celestine olulode went to meet anoosheh and his family at home. the things that i really missed were such simple things, like making tea. back home and free.

the reality anoosheh is still adjusting to five months on. those feelings of waking up in my cell, after having had a nice dream about my wife, about my kids, and then you suddenly wake up to what i used to call my coffin. because it was about one metre by two metres. and that was my world for nearly five years. afterfive months, i have discovered that i'm getting more flashbacks and i'm also having more panic attacks. that didn't exist two months ago. but now i am feeling that i'm having them. seen here in march with nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, touching down on uk soil. five years earlier, anoosheh was arrested whilst visiting his mother in iran.

unknowingly we had prepared ourselves that he would be away for ten years, because that was his sentence. and there was no guarantee that they would not add onto it at the end of it. but also at the same time you don't consciously, you try not to think about that. because if you do think about it, you go mad. so you live your life day to day. keeping fit kept anoosheh determined, and whilst in prison, he decided that whenever he was released, he would take part in the london marathon. when i was transferred to the main prison, a group of inmates were actually doing exercises every day. and i asked if i could join them. in october, he will be running with his son aryan. they are fundraising for amnesty international and hostage international. i arrived at a point where i could in fact do more than an hour. and i reached a point that i once

did two hours of running, nonstop. anoosheh and his son aryanjoin us now. good aryan join us now. good aryanjoin us now. morning to you. a lovely good aryan join us now. morning to you. a lovely vibe coming good morning to you. a lovely vibe coming from you too, can i say that? we were just coming from you too, can i say that? we werejust commenting, coming from you too, can i say that? we were just commenting, i will share this with you at home, your home has a lot of red in it! a red kitchen, red sofa, and lo and behold, you are now on the red sofa! you are all makes sense. you have been through a lot, anoosheh, and there's a lot riding on this. this was a pledge he made to yourself in the worst of circumstances. lerbfeiiii. the worst of circumstances. well, when i was _ the worst of circumstances. well, when i was transferred _ the worst of circumstances. well, when i was transferred to - the worst of circumstances. well, when i was transferred to the - the worst of circumstances. well, i when i was transferred to the main prison, from the interrogation centre, a few months afterwards, i joined a group of inmates who did exercises every day, and i asked if i could join them, and we started doing workouts, and part of that

work—out involved running. and i went short of breath within ten minutes. i persevered, and ended up running for two hours nonstop. and when i returned to our home, a friend waved a book at me and said, come and get it. and that was a book by murakami, called, what i talk about when i talk about running. bend about when i talk about running. and that inspired me to run a marathon and on _ that inspired me to run a marathon and on paper i would have been released — and on paper i would have been released when i was 73 years old, so luckily— released when i was 73 years old, so luckily i_ released when i was 73 years old, so luckily i was — released when i was 73 years old, so luckily i was released in march. and that promise. _ luckily i was released in march. fific that promise, i've tried luckily i was released in march. el“ic that promise, i've tried to luckily i was released in march. elic that promise, i've tried to keep it. and there was no sense of purpose in that. and that purpose came from

another book, man in search of meaning which says that if you are going through intense suffering, if you find a purpose in your suffering, then it's not going to be as painful as it used to be. so the physical part of it, to keep my health intact, was with running, and the purpose was actually to support amnesty international and hostage international who have been of great help to my family and played a big part in my release.— part in my release. when you are trainina part in my release. when you are training now. _ part in my release. when you are training now, how— part in my release. when you are training now, how are _ part in my release. when you are training now, how are your- part in my release. when you are i training now, how are your thoughts different? how are your thoughts when you are running different? i am concentrating — when you are running different? i am concentrating on _ when you are running different? i am concentrating on the _ when you are running different? i —n concentrating on the run itself. because my goal is social awareness, to raise social awareness about these two charity organisations. but when you are running, when you were running in prison, a lot of running then, you have got your focus,

government pilot scheme. the scheme — backed by government funding and supported by investment from industry — will see barnet council awarded £3.5 million. the government says it hopes to encourage more drivers to go electric — saving money on fuel and running costs, and improving air quality. the charity guide dogs is appealing for more people to volunteer as foster parents for guide dogs in training. before covid, around 1,400 dogs were trained each year. but due to lockdowns and the various restrictions, the numbers of dogs being bred and trained has fallen significantly, which means there is now a shortfall in the number of dogs able to be matched with a visually impaired person. we had to stop our breeding programme for around about five months during the pandemic. also, as far as the dogs were concerned, we've seen a difference in the dogs that have lived through the pandemic, in terms of they've missed some developmental milestones. it's now meaning that not only have we got fewer dogs, but we've also had fewer dogs that

are actually entering training and going on to be successful as guide dogs. a quick look at the travel situation... severe delays on london overground between stratford and clapham junction. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another warm, humid night, but fresher air is on the way. ahead of that, however, some thunderstorms, and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place, valid until 3:00pm. you can see heavy bursts of rain. we've already had a few thunderstorms coming up from the south — they're going to continue through this morning, gradually clearing into the afternoon. quite a bit of rain, short space of time, but drier later with some sunshine. temperatures fresher, as promised, at around 23 celsius. now, overnight tonight, it's largely dry and largely clear. the minimum temperature finally a little more comfortable for sleeping — between ten and 13 celsius, the minimum. turning to friday, again, we've got some sunshine, but another cold front

is sinking south. now, as it does head towards us, it starts to fragment. it will offer us a bit more cloud, the potentialfor one or two isolated showers, but largely dry tomorrow and that sunshine getting up to a maximum of around 24 celsius. into the bank holiday weekend, of course, a ridge of high pressure builds and that high pressure stays in charge throughout — so plenty of fine, dry weather in the forecast, some sunshine — a bit breezier for sunday and into bank holiday monday, but temperatures staying in the low—to—mid 20s. unfortunately this morning there's no sun to be seen yet. this is how it looks in the skies over central london — pretty miserable. that's it — we're back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. detectives in liverpool are continuing their hunt for the killer of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel. olivia was shot in her own

home on monday night — when a convicted drug dealer forced his way into the house while trying to escape a gunman, who then continued firing into the property. olivia was the third person to be shot dead in liverpool within a week. sam rimmer, who was 22, was killed in the toxteth area on tuesday of last week. two suspects fled the scene on electric bikes. and in the early hours of sunday morning, a 28—year—old woman — ashley dale — was shot in her own back garden. detectives believe she was not the intended target. the chief constable of merseyside police has made another direct appeal to the friends, family and criminal associates of olivia's killer to come forward with information. this is the murder of a nine—year—old child. you know, everybody will know somebody of that age — whether it's a son, daughter, niece, nephew, you know, a neighbour. this resonates within our community.

those boundaries have been crossed. you know who's responsible for this murder. you know who supplied the gun. you know who called this job on. do the right thing. whose side are you on? give us that name. give us that information. liam robinson is a liverpool city councillor — he joins us now. good councillor — hejoins us now. morning. we mention people good morning. we mention those three people who have been killed in recent weeks and you have been to those areas of liverpool city and spoken to local communities. what have you discovered?— have you discovered? well, i think it is very clear— have you discovered? well, i think it is very clear that _ have you discovered? well, i think it is very clear that people - have you discovered? well, i think it is very clear that people at - have you discovered? well, i think it is very clear that people at this i it is very clear that people at this moment are shocked, upset, and frankly angry that these kind of things have happened. let's not forget these evil and heinous crimes, and at this moment, the most important thing from the work we have been doing with merseyside

police and other agencies is to remind everyone it is absolutely vital in these early days that any information that anyone has, as big or small as it may seem, please make sure it is reported through two merseyside police or to other channels, crimestoppers for example. the only way we will bring these frankly evil people to justice is by making sure the police get all the information they need to do their investigation and bring these people to justice. investigation and bring these people tojustice. i investigation and bring these people to 'ustice. ~ .,. investigation and bring these people to 'ustice. ~' .,. ., to justice. i think the fact that olivia was _ to justice. i think the fact that olivia was nine _ to justice. i think the fact that olivia was nine years - to justice. i think the fact that olivia was nine years old - to justice. i think the fact that olivia was nine years old has. olivia was nine years old has shocked so many people to the core, this abhorrent crime. do you think that that in itself has made a difference in terms of the attitudes to providing information to police? i think it has certainly shock people as one of the worst crimes in living memory. most people fully understand the difference between right and wrong and are so outraged about this, they want to make sure the perpetrators are brought to justice. information is coming into

the police, we are aware of that, but it is really important that anything that anybody knows if to the police accordingly and i do think it is one of those things... the whole of the community is affected but right across liverpool and merseyside, people want to make sure these people are brought to justice because we are all disgusted at what has happened over the past week. ~ ., at what has happened over the past week. . ., ., , , ., ., week. what does this do for the reputation _ week. what does this do for the reputation of — week. what does this do for the reputation of liverpool? - week. what does this do for the reputation of liverpool? i - week. what does this do for the | reputation of liverpool? i mean, once upon a time, you talk about races like toxteth and liverpool and that reputation has completely changed. three incidents injust a few weeks... changed. three incidents in 'ust a few were— changed. three incidents in 'ust a few “mei few weeks... look, it is really important _ few weeks... look, it is really important to _ few weeks... look, it is really important to say _ few weeks... look, it is really important to say that - few weeks... look, it is really important to say that these i important to say that these instances are not representative of the communities where they happen. they are not representative of liverpool or merseyside as a whole. we have to remember that over the past 20 years merseyside police has been recognised nationally for some outstanding work in reducing these crimes, so the fact they have

happened is heartbreaking, but we have to make sure that these people are brought to justice have to make sure that these people are brought tojustice because it is certainly not representative of our great city. certainly not representative of our ireat ci . ~ .. certainly not representative of our ireat ci . . ., ., certainly not representative of our ireat ci .~ ., ., i. certainly not representative of our ireatci .~ ., ., ., certainly not representative of our ireatci .~ ., ., great city. what do you do when you talk to people _ great city. what do you do when you talk to people in _ great city. what do you do when you talk to people in these _ great city. what do you do when you talk to people in these communities| talk to people in these communities which have been affected by these heinous crimes, one report we were running, gentleman said he doesn't feel safe to walk out of his front door because he is worried about what is going on.— door because he is worried about what is going on. yeah, and that is a very understandable _ what is going on. yeah, and that is a very understandable reaction - what is going on. yeah, and that is| a very understandable reaction that lots of people are giving. that is why we have been working really closely with merseyside police with very high visibility operations they are doing at this moment. we are already working with neighbouring authorities, looking at the different programmes we will have to do into the future to reassure those communities and actually make sure that out of these tragedies we can bounce back over the weeks and months ahead. absolutely, we need to reassure people that it isn't representative of the community where these have happened, not representative of the city, and we will bring these perpetrators to

for the first time in 12 years. good morning. heavy and thundery downpours at the moment because parts of south—east england and east anglia, they will cave in to the north sea through the north sea and for most of us we will have a day of sunny spells and variable cloud and becoming less humid in the south. all of the details later. it's thursday the 25th of august. our main story. a gunman who shot dead a nine—year—old girl in her own home in liverpool is still being hunted by police this morning. olivia pratt—korbel was killed on monday night when a convicted drug dealer barged into her house while trying to escape a gunman who continued firing into the property. his original target is now under arrest in hospital but the killer is yet to be caught, as tomos morgan reports. three days on, and the search for answers as to how and why

nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel died by the hands of a masked gunman who was chasing another man continues. gunshots new cctv footage has emerged now recording the moment four shots were fired in olivia's house, one fatally hitting olivia, and one injuring her mother. the gunman then fired two more times. 35—year—old joseph nee, the intended target of the killer, was hit and taken to hospital. he has since been arrested. merseyside police said they would be recalling nee to prison for allegedly breaching the terms of his licence condition, and they would be continuing to question him in connection to the death of nine—year—old olivia. although those living here in dovecot are seeing the progress being made in the investigation, there are still concerns and some anger. he should have been arrested

for the crime, notjust the thing of breaking his licence. do you feel safe? no, no—one feels safe. because, you know, you should be safe in your own home. that poor girl was in her own home. she opened the door like most of us would have done when we heard a noise outside, to see what's going on, and someone barged in. authorities have again repeated their message that this is not a time to stay silent when it comes to catching the killer of a nine—year—old girl. ordinary people, their ordinary lives have been changed, haven't they, forever, and they will never forget this period. but what we need to do is to rebuild, and we will do. i spoke to the home secretary last night about how we do that and she has promised us all the support that she can muster and we will be holding the government to that. we want to see the perpetrators being brought to book as quickly as possible.

that information to see if it fits the right description. police have said that no stone will be left unturned in the search to try and find the gunman who murdered and killed nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel and said that all of their resources would be going into this case and also the other two fatal deaths that happened on monday and sunday evening in the city of liverpool. the city is looking for answers, searching for answers, and they want justice for the people that they have lost in a community that they have lost in a community that they have lost in a community that the 15 years ago lost another young boy not far from here as well. thank you very much, tomos. a russian attack on a train station in ukraine has now killed 22 people, including two boys aged six and 11, that's according to authorities there. the attack took place in the east of the country on the day ukraine was marking its independence from the soviet union. our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. more details emerging about that

breached the door where the massacre happened. eventually, a group of officers from the us border control moved in to kill the 18—year—old gunman. the decision to sack the police chief came at a public meeting of the school board. relatives and friends of those who died spoke of their grief and anger at the way the police responded to the shooting. i'm here today to make a statement. if a law enforcement�*s job is to protect and serve, why didn't they protect and serve my friends and teachers on may 24? i have messages for pete arrendondo and all the law enforcement that was there on that day. turn in your badge and step down, you don't deserve to wear one. mr arrendondo did not attend the meeting. his lawyer said he had received death threats and said the vote to dismiss him amounted to a public lynching. the 7—member school board discussed their decision behind closed doors. do not take this into closed sessions.

we deserve to hear it. our babies are dead, our teachers are dead, our parents are dead. the least y'all can do is show us the respect and do this in the public. i move that good cause exists to terminate the noncertified contract of pete arrendondo effective immediately. when it came, the decision to sack the police chief was unanimous. there was applause from the audience, but in a statement, mr arrendondo's lawyer said the school district had failed to carry out any investigation establishing evidence supporting their decision to terminate the employment of his client. peter bowes, bbc news. the widow of the us basketball star kobe bryant has been awarded $16 million in damages over leaked photos of the helicopter crash that killed him and their daughter in 2020. vanessa bryant said she'd had panic attacks after learning that the images, taken by sheriff's deputies and firefighters in los angeles, had been shared.

where it has been wet, we have got a week with a front sinking south, these are the thunderstorms which have been moving north. some torrential downpours in here. in bury st edmunds in suffolk, we had it nearly 63 millimetres of rainfall in just three hours. it nearly 63 millimetres of rainfall injust three hours. as it nearly 63 millimetres of rainfall in just three hours. as we go through the rest of the morning and into the afternoon, we hang on to this, still some thunderstorms embedded in these heavy downpours. slowly pushing east and north, but as we pull out, for the rest of the uk, sunny spells. western scotland and northern ireland will have some showers heralding the arrival of another front. showers heralding the arrival of anotherfront. through showers heralding the arrival of another front. through the day the area will freshen up in the south, maximum temperature is 15 to 24 or 25. you can see how we lose the thundery rain as we go through the evening, it completely clear. there will be some clear skies, mist and fog patches forming, a weather front

sinking south with cloud and showers, and afresh at night across much of england and wales compared to what we have been used to of late. overnight lows between ten and 14. tomorrow, the weatherfront draped across southern scotland, england and wales, producing cloud, some showers which will be heavy across southern scotland and northern england, but in the afternoon we will start to see the cloud break—up and a few more sunny spells developed. temperatures tomorrow, 15 in the north to 24 in the south. thank you very much. there are some stories where the pictures tell it all — and this is one of them. we're about to show you the moment two—year—old joey took his first dip in the sea, in skegness, using a special beach buggy for people with disabilities. it was provided by a charity called beach ability, which aims to help everyone enjoy a trip to the coast. take a look.

he was laughing, belly laughing. you don't really get that from joey. you get two moods — he's either happy or really, really grumpy. but i'm sure when you see the video you will see how happy he was. we don't tend to go to the beach very often because obviously he is disabled so it's really difficult getting the pushchair across the beach. he was able to do what all kids want to do and play in the sea. he gets left out quite a lot with him not being able to do much, but he was truly, genuinely happy. he was laughing his head off and i was like, ijust loved that. ijust felt in love and really happy about my brother because i really care about him, no matter what. yeah, i cried. his dad has cried, also. we've not stopped watching the video, have we? i think if you're feeling a bit down, just watch joey's video,

it will cheer you up! and the delight onjoey�*s face, and the delight and his family's faces, for him to be able to feel the sea without fear and have the joy that all of us have had at times. it’s all of us have had at times. it's the simplest — all of us have had at times. it's the simplest of— all of us have had at times. it�*s the simplest of things, but you think for the years, that wouldn't have been possible, but to have that moment, lovely. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. bin—collection workers in east london are set to strike for a week as part of a pay dispute. around 130 unite members in newham — including loaders, sweepers and drivers — will walk out from 27th august until 3rd september demanding a 10% pay rise. newham council said it has offered workers a pay increase between 7.8% and 9.9% in a bid to avoid a strike.

more than a thousand new electric vehicle charging points will be built across england — with barnet in north london being part of a £20 million government pilot scheme. the scheme — backed by government funding and supported by investment from industry — will see barnet council awarded £3.5 million. the government says it hopes to encourage more drivers to go electric — saving money on fuel and running costs, and improving air quality. the charity guide dogs is appealing for more people to volunteer as foster parents for guide dogs in training. before covid, around 1,400 dogs were trained each year. but due to lockdowns and the various restrictions, the numbers of dogs being bred and trained has fallen significantly, which means there is now a shortfall in the number of dogs able to be matched with a visually impaired person. we had to stop our breeding programme for around about five months during the pandemic. also, as far as the dogs were concerned, we've seen a difference in the dogs that have

lived through the pandemic, in terms of they've missed some developmental milestones. it's now meaning that not only have we got fewer dogs, but we've also had fewer dogs that are actually entering training and going on to be successful as guide dogs. a quick look at the travel situation. severe delays on london overground between stratford and clapham junction. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another warm, humid night, but fresher air is on the way. ahead of that, however, some thunderstorms, and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place, valid until 3:00pm. you can see heavy bursts of rain. we've already had a few thunderstorms coming up from the south — they're going to continue through this morning, gradually clearing into the afternoon. quite a bit of rain, short space of time, but drier later with some sunshine. temperatures fresher, as promised, at around 23 celsius. now, overnight tonight, it's largely dry and largely clear. the minimum temperature finally a little more

comfortable for sleeping — between ten and 13 celsius, the minimum. turning to friday, again, we've got some sunshine, but another cold front is sinking south. now, as it does head towards us, it starts to fragment. it will offer us a bit more cloud, the potentialfor one or two isolated showers, but largely dry tomorrow and that sunshine getting up to a maximum of around 24 celsius. into the bank holiday weekend, of course, a ridge of high pressure builds and that high pressure stays in charge throughout — so plenty of fine, dry weather in the forecast, some sunshine — a bit breezier for sunday and into bank holiday monday, but temperatures staying in the low—to—mid 20s. that's it. we're back in half an hour. in the meantime dont forget you can download the bbc news app, — or ask your smart speaker anytime to "play bbc news for london". hello, this is breakfast with

naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the hunt for the killer of olivia pratt—korbel continues in liverpool. a clearer picture has begun to emerge of the innocent girl who died, and the criminal who brought terror to her door. olivia was shot dead in her own home on monday night — when a complete stranger barged his way into the house while he was fleeing a gunman, who then continued shooting inside the property, hitting olivia, her mum, and the man he was originally chasing. that man was a convicted drug dealer and burglar, 35—year—old joseph nee. he's currently under arrest in hospital. today's liverpool echo says the city is united in its desire to see olivia's killer brought to justice, with residents demanding an end to gun crime and gang—related violence. one famous liverpudlian who has been trying to achieve that goal for some time is the former boxer tony bellew, who does a lot of work

with an organisation called "weapons down, gloves up" — which uses boxing to offer young people a positive alternative to gangs and crime. tonyjoins us now. good morning. thank you for finding time to speak to us. first of all, your reflections on this latest moment involving the death of nine—year—old olivia. it is moment involving the death of nine-year-old olivia.— nine-year-old olivia. it is truly heartbreaking, _ nine-year-old olivia. it is truly heartbreaking, the _ nine-year-old olivia. it is truly heartbreaking, the only - nine-year-old olivia. it is truly heartbreaking, the only ways i | nine-year-old olivia. it is truly - heartbreaking, the only ways i can use. it isjust mourning. it is nearly 15 years to the day since we lost rhys jones nearly 15 years to the day since we lost rhstones and this is still going on, truly frightening and i were sitting help. the police needs the numbers up on the streets without a shadow of a doubt. mayors, councillors, prime ministers, i don't care who it is, but the politicians need to help our city because gun crime and knife crime is at an all—time high. a nine—year—old innocent girl has been taken. let

that sink in. and nine—year—old innocent girl has been killed. this isn't a convicted drug dealer who has been made, these are innocent people being killed. a lady was made at the other day, innocent lady. it is constantly going on in our city and it is petrifying, frightening. you have a knowledge of this that a lot of people don't have. you try to help young people who are may be falling into that pathway, violence and crime. what have you learnt about how you can help people, at what stage you can get involved and how it can be avoided that people should go down this path? i just should go down this path? i 'ust think should go down this path? i 'ust that society �* should go down this path? i 'ust think society changed �* should go down this path? iisi think society changed quite a while ago. i don't want to blame anyone or anything. the huge implosion of drugs in our city was massive. cannabis has an awful lotto answer for in our city. video games. we took away an awful lot of simple

things like youth centres. i grew up with a four or five youth centres as a kid and three orfour of with a four or five youth centres as a kid and three or four of them with a four or five youth centres as a kid and three orfour of them are now completely gone, wiped off the face of the earth. what are the kids are supposed to do? we started the weapons down, gloves up initiative to help people who are unemployed, any age between 16 and 25. you must not be employed, i stress that. to give them an opportunity, to get themselves a career. there is nothing going on for the young generation any more, nothing out there. youth centres have been taken away. everything now costs a lot of money and in the area i am from nobody really has much money. it is so hard, so difficult, and politicians and everybody, our council, our government, they need to really look at helping the youth, helping the kids because this is getting passed on and on and on, it really is, and i don't see an end to it, i really don't. it will get worse before it gets better at the

frightening part is i don't see how it can possibly get any worse when this innocent nine—year—old girl has been killed. this innocent nine-year-old girl has been killed-— been killed. have you managed to sieak been killed. have you managed to s i eak to been killed. have you managed to speak to any _ been killed. have you managed to speak to any of — been killed. have you managed to speak to any of the _ been killed. have you managed to speak to any of the young - been killed. have you managed to speak to any of the young people | been killed. have you managed to i speak to any of the young people you work with and gauge their reaction? because it almost feels as if, like you said, this is not a convicted drug dealer, it was not a criminal, a known criminal. this was a young girl. it has shocked the city into action, and i use that phrase which was used, grassing up, people who at some point would have been protected by communities or by communities who were too scared and thought i am not getting involved. has there been a change? to getting involved. has there been a chanie? ., . ., . getting involved. has there been a chanie? ., , ., ,�* change? to be honest, it doesn't really come _ change? to be honest, it doesn't really come down _ change? to be honest, it doesn't really come down to _ change? to be honest, it doesn't really come down to the - change? to be honest, it doesn't- really come down to the communities or their view on telling tales. it comes down to putting more police on the streets, it comes down to sentencing... i don't want to say sentences being tough because they are tough enough. guns are now as accessible as drugs and that is the

frightening part. our country is a good free, this is not america where guns are legal and accessible. they are not legal, how are they getting in here? how is it happening? it is happening on a regular basis. if young people are not being shot they are being stabbed. a young girl a couple of months ago, she was stabbed in the neck. she was a baby, child, then another young girl being shot, young lady being shot. it is never—ending. it is frightening, it truly is. some of the people we have met at weapons down, gloves up have beenin met at weapons down, gloves up have been in gang violence, gang crimes. i have —— they have done some unforeseen things but they want to get away from that life and we come across numerous children, numerous middle aged adults who want to get away from it. i have come across dozens of people who just need an opportunity, need a bit of help. academically, i didn't do great in

skill, and theyjust want academically, i didn't do great in skill, and they just want the opportunity we can offer at weapons down, gloves up. it is open to all age groups, as i say you have to be unemployed, and i can guarantee we will get you on the right career and into the right path. there is amazing jobs in construction and civil engineering. just contact us at weapons down, gloves up, guys. i can't stress enough that there are jobs there waiting for you. gang violence and street crime is not the way forward will stop it only ends one way. in a jail or in a box. that one way. in a 'ail or in a box. that a- ieal one way. in a 'ail or in a box. that appear and — one way. in ajail or in a box. that appeal and the — one way. in ajail or in a box. that appeal and the work— one way. in ajail or in a box. that appeal and the work you - one way. in a jail or in a box. that appeal and the work you are doing, it is obvious it is fruitful and it delivers results. equally, you have said, and in the last answer, you said, and in the last answer, you said things are going to get worse before they get better. what do you mean by that? i before they get better. what do you mean by that?— before they get better. what do you mean by that? i mean the fact there is not enough _ mean by that? i mean the fact there is not enough police _ mean by that? i mean the fact there is not enough police on _ mean by that? i mean the fact there is not enough police on the - mean by that? i mean the fact there is not enough police on the street i is not enough police on the street so it is going to get worse before it gets better.

so it is going to get worse before it gets better-— so it is going to get worse before it gets better. what will that look like? what will — it gets better. what will that look like? what will it _ it gets better. what will that look like? what will it look _ it gets better. what will that look like? what will it look like? - it gets better. what will that look like? what will it look like? howl like? what will it look like? how can it possibly — like? what will it look like? how can it possibly get _ like? what will it look like? how can it possibly get worse? - can it possibly get worse? i9—year—old girl has just been taken away from us. so what more... it is constant, never ending. likei away from us. so what more... it is constant, never ending. like i said before, it is not like this is a one off in our city, is it? it is continually happening. 15 years ago, rhys continually happening. 15 years ago, rhstones, innocent little boy was taken away. this is not the first time this has happened. another innocent woman was shot dead the other night. another young girl was stabbed in the neck in town. as i have said before, this is not a one—off occasion or something very rare. it is happening too frequently and our city needs help. whether it comes from... i don't care where it comes from... i don't care where it comes from... i don't care where it comes from. put more police on the streets, do whatever you have to do. ijust streets, do whatever you have to do. i just can't believe that scumbag would run into a house and someone would run into a house and someone would shoot an innocent girl, it is petrifying. i don't know where it

ends. that is the only word i can say, it is frightening. lathfiii ends. that is the only word i can say, it is frightening.— ends. that is the only word i can say, it is frightening. will be well aware that _ say, it is frightening. will be well aware that the _ say, it is frightening. will be well aware that the authorities - say, it is frightening. will be well aware that the authorities and i say, it is frightening. will be well| aware that the authorities and the police and just regular people have been saying, now is not the time to protect people who are involved in this kind of crime and if a specific incident. what would be your direct message to anyone who knows anything, who has connections? and beit may well be frightened themselves of coming forward with information. you will be well aware of that concern people have for their own safety, notwithstanding their own safety, notwithstanding the terrible things that has happened. what would you say? guys, the message — happened. what would you say? guys, the message is. _ happened. what would you say? guys, the message is, everybody— happened. what would you say? guys, the message is, everybody is- the message is, everybody is frightened. the whole city is frightened. the whole city is frightened and now it is getting to a stage where people are going to be scared to go out of the door. i mean, this happens because a woman opened the door, from what i'm hearing. she opened a door and a man ran into the house and a simple

thing of a knock on the door and a nine—year—old girl has been shot dead. this is frightening. everyone is frightened, nobody wants to say anything or speak any words because it is terrifying, what is going on, and people will not speak because they don't feel protected because who are you protected by? why they protected by the police? no. who are they protected by? how can people speak when they don't feel safe? it is truly frightening, like i said before, and ijust... i can't even take into context what the parents of that beautiful little girl, olivia, going through. i really, really count. it is truly frightening.— really count. it is truly friihitenin.~ ., ,~ ,, .., frightening. we really appreciate our frightening. we really appreciate yourthoughts— frightening. we really appreciate your thoughts this _ frightening. we really appreciate your thoughts this morning - frightening. we really appreciate your thoughts this morning and i frightening. we really appreciate - your thoughts this morning and thank your thoughts this morning and thank you for giving us an insight into some of the work you are doing that with young people in liverpool. thank you very much an absolute pleasure. no one is looking at the sport. look does love a good good news story —— chetan is looking at the sport.

majors have a good news story at. propjennifer ranges. ten years ago, scottish their division, liquidation, financial problems, here they are. in the last three or four years, some good performances. europa league final last year which they lost, lost out on automatic champions league group stages qualification but got the job done last night. they beat psv eindhoven1—0 on the night and 3—2 on aggregate — to secure their place in the champions league group stages. that drawer is later this afternoon. it's the first time they've qualified for europe's elite club competition in 12 years. michael redford was watching. ten years ago, rangers were at the bottom of scotland's football league pyramid. now they're back at the top with europe's elite. and to get there, they had to beat one of europe's top clubs. psv eindhoven at home would have been favourites to qualify, but rangers started the stronger — john lundstram coming close. psv, though, were quick to respond. luuk dejong denied, cody gakpo missed all by himself. real chance here but it goes over...

rangers needed a reset — tom lawrence nearly provided it. but they wouldn't be denied moments later. a moment to forget for andre ramalho, a moment to remember for antonio colak. rangers have the goal! and it proved to be enough. time ticked away, rangers hung on. theirjourney back to the top complete, now it's time to write some new history. michael redford, bbc news. the draw involving celtic and rangers is later this afternoon. they are both in the first time since 2007, 2008 season. giovanni van bronkhorst took over as manager last year and says he's proud of how the club's bounced back from adversity. ten years ago we were, you know, at the lowest point we have in history. er... and, you know, it took us really hard work — everyone involved, from building the club back again to the level we achieved now. so it's... it's a proud moment for me to also, you know, thank all the people who gave,

you know, so much energy and time to build this club back again. the us open draw will also happen today. and emma raducanu will find out later today who the defence of her us open title will start against. the final grand slam of the year begins on monday. last night in new york though some of the biggest names in the sport gathered for a tennis plays for peace exhibition in support of ukrainian humanitarian relief. have a look at this. this is rafa nadal pairing up with the world number one iga swiatek — who says nadal is her hero, playing against coco gauff. and she's alongsidejohn mcenroe. iga swiatek and raphael adele got the better in the end ofjohn mcenroe and coco gauff. at least he saw the funny side of that. they played a doubles tie—break set, won by rafa and swiatek.

that raised over $1 million so far for ukrainian aid. credit to coco gauff, 18 years old. john mcenroe will need no reminding of this that he is over three times her age. he was holding his own.— was holding his own. there are a series of mash _ was holding his own. there are a series of mash ups. _ was holding his own. there are a series of mash ups. i _ was holding his own. there are a series of mash ups. i believe - was holding his own. there are a| series of mash ups. i believe they ila ed series of mash ups. i believe they played five _ series of mash ups. i believe they played five of _ series of mash ups. i believe they played five of those _ series of mash ups. i believe they played five of those mixed - series of mash ups. i believe they | played five of those mixed doubles type rates. that clearly was the highlight and iga swiatek and raphael adele too good in the end. thanks, chetan. the rise in energy bills is adding more pressure on small businesses, which are struggling to pass on higher costs, pay staff and some are even considering cutting their opening hours. hannah's at a bakery in suffolk to tell us more. pace us a picture. they have probably done most of their work by now? , .. probably done most of their work by now? , ., , , , , _ now? they have been pretty busy here all morning- — now? they have been pretty busy here all morning- i — now? they have been pretty busy here all morning. i have _ now? they have been pretty busy here all morning. i have been _ now? they have been pretty busy here all morning. i have been up— now? they have been pretty busy here all morning. i have been up and - now? they have been pretty busy here all morning. i have been up and down| all morning. i have been up and down the high street a bit since we last

spoke. i was talking to a hairdresser relic when he says it is possible his energy bills could end “p possible his energy bills could end up being more than he takes in total. he is really worried about what this will mean for the future of his business. here in the bakery, there is no getting around the fact that they need to use a huge amount of energy. we have seen equipment being used all money, these ovens have to be on pretty much 24/7. that is why the british chamber of commerce have written to the government to say that small businesses need some sort of help with their energy bills by calling, among other things, for a pandemic style emergency grants. how big is the problem? perhaps unsurprisingly around 89% of businesses, small businesses, say their costs are now higher than they were a year ago. that means many of them think they will struggle to grow over the next year. more than half expect the business to stay the same size, downsize or close entirely. a lot of

thatis downsize or close entirely. a lot of that is caused by the rise in their utility bills, water bills, as well as energy bills. and also the fuel bills, both up by around one quarter in the past year. we have seen deliveries going out here all morning. taking the bread and all these delicious looking goods out is not coming cheap. we have got gary, who has used some good old—fashioned elbow grease getting these belgian bonds does they look great. what impact is energy prices are rising having on the business year? tremendous. it's... its energy irices tremendous. it's... its energy prices and — tremendous. it's... its energy prices and ingredients, - tremendous. it's... its energy prices and ingredients, i - tremendous. it's... its energy. prices and ingredients, i imagine. and packaging, everything is going through— and packaging, everything is going through the roof. fire and packaging, everything is going through the roof.— through the roof. are you able to iass that through the roof. are you able to pass that on _ through the roof. are you able to pass that on to _ through the roof. are you able to pass that on to customers? - through the roof. are you able to pass that on to customers? to i through the roof. are you able to pass that on to customers? to a| pass that on to customers? to a certain degree. _ pass that on to customers? to a certain degree. some _ pass that on to customers? to a certain degree. some we - pass that on to customers? to a certain degree. some we have to keep in house _ certain degree. some we have to keep

greatjournals and so with this musical i am doing i had to go back and think thank goodness my mother had us write these journals and so all of these stories that are here in this musical is about those feelings i had growing up. some of the struggles. i wanted to go to regular school, the struggles. i wanted to go to regularschool, i the struggles. i wanted to go to regular school, i want the actual experience, so i made that possible, a big part of my life. i take people backin a big part of my life. i take people back in time in this musical and a roller—coaster, basically, it is a journey through my eyes, how i saw my family growing up, and the struggles and the good times, the bad times, the laughing, crying, the high times. you know, the successes and the low points. i was asked the other day, what is the highest point

in this musicalfor you? i said it was when we are at our lowest point as a family, that is when i saw... what had taken you to the low point? this is at the end of the musical. we went through that low point when we were financially taken by a lot of people. we were at our lowest point and i saw this great family of nine, who had come together and this band of brothers which i love so much, and we have each other�*s backs. i like to put the stories behind the music. in backs. i like to put the stories behind the music. i'm fascinated by the idea of you _ behind the music. i'm fascinated by the idea of you all _ behind the music. i'm fascinated by the idea of you all writing _ the idea of you all writing journals. the thing with a journal is it is a very, very personal subjective point of view. with the brothers, have you had any feedback in terms of your interpretations of times? ~ ., ,

asked my brother merrill but he had other project so he turned me down so i was on my own and so i put the pieces of the puzzle of my life through the journals and i put this together and through my eyes but also through the eyes of this person named wendy who was from manchester, who goes through this musical with us, representing the fans because the fans were such a great and important part of our lives. how we effected her and she affected us. can i ask, jay, there has always a fascination with the osmonds about the dynamic and what happened in your lives and you were. over the years, what are some of the biggest myths you have heard about yourself? because there has been a lot of chatter. people say things about your family stop what are some of the things you have heard out there are probably some of them are offensive and hurtful. what have you heard that you have just thought, it really?! is that what it has come

to?! ., .,r , really?! is that what it has come to?! ., , , really?! is that what it has come to?! ., ., ' , , ~ to?! not offensive but i think the thinis to?! not offensive but i think the things that _ to?! not offensive but i think the things that have _ to?! not offensive but i think the things that have bothered - to?! not offensive but i think the things that have bothered me - to?! not offensive but i think the i things that have bothered me most to?! not offensive but i think the - things that have bothered me most is that this was an easy thing for you. you are always smiling. you are always so happy. and so i wanted to explain it through my eyes what really went on behind the scenes stop and some of the hardest to struggles that we went through that, you know... we were known as this squeaky—clean group that would never make it in show business. well, you can't tell us no. i wanted to explain what we were up against as a family, you know? our whole goal as a family was to live family. that was our goal. through this musical i explain it through music and stories. and, by the way, the cast is amazing. you won't believe how

wonderful. everyone plays my family when i casted this with others. i was looking for personalities more than anything because i need the talent would be there but i wanted to match the personalities. do ieiole to match the personalities. do people come dressed up as the osmonds, the fans are? you wouldn't believe. osmonds, the fans are? you wouldn't believe- they — osmonds, the fans are? you wouldn't believe. they come _ osmonds, the fans are? you wouldn't believe. they come out _ osmonds, the fans are? you wouldn't believe. they come out saying - osmonds, the fans are? you wouldn't believe. they come out saying they i believe. they come out saying they are 15 years old again. they have a sense of hope and joy and love and renewed energy and it is true, you get there and feel like you are back in time. did get there and feel like you are back in time. , , ., get there and feel like you are back in time. , ,~ ,, ,., , get there and feel like you are back in time. , ,, ,., i. get there and feel like you are back in time. , ,~ ,, , ., , ., ., in time. did you keep any of the old suits? we still _ in time. did you keep any of the old suits? we still have _ in time. did you keep any of the old suits? we still have a _ in time. did you keep any of the old suits? we still have a couple. - in time. did you keep any of the old suits? we still have a couple. a - in time. did you keep any of the old suits? we still have a couple. a lot| suits? we still have a couple. a lot have been — suits? we still have a couple. a lot have been lost _ suits? we still have a couple. a lot have been lost over _ suits? we still have a couple. a lot have been lost over the _ suits? we still have a couple. a lot have been lost over the years. - suits? we still have a couple. a lot| have been lost over the years. what is really fun for me is that new fan thatis is really fun for me is that new fan that is coming and saying, "i am just discovering your music and it is wonderful.
