good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. pakistan appeals for international aid to deal with catastrophic floods and there's a warning that worse is to come. a week on from the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt korbel, merseyside police continue to appeal for information. ready for lift off. nasa prepares for the launch of a giant rocket which will kick start its mission to the moon. three is the magic numberfor rory mcilory. the northern irishman claims golf�*s biggest paycheque as he wins the tour championship for a record third time.

good morning. for many of us today it will be fairly cloudy with the odd shower. sunnier scars skies in the south—west, cooler in the north of the with an onshore breeze. it's monday the 29th of august. our main story. pakistan is bracing for more of the devastating floods which have already killed more than a thousand people sincejune. officials say swollen rivers are running down from mountainous areas and threatening to deluge lower lying areas, particularly in the sindh province, which is already the worst—affected region. millions of people could be affected. pakistan's foreign minister has called the floods a catastrophe and the government has issued a fresh appeal for more international aid. azadeh moshiri reports. a young boy stranded on a rock as raging waters surround him. you can see a rescue worker edging

out of the helicopter, lifting him up to safety. it's but one of the countless rescue efforts that are happening as pakistan faces one of the worst floods in years, with more than 1,000 people dead and millions affected. i find it very difficult to put into words. the phraseologies that we're used to, whether it's monsoon rains or flooding, doesn't quite seem to encapsulate the ongoing devastation and disaster that we're still witnessing. the satellite images show the sheer scale of the flooding. this is what rajanpur in pakistan's punjab province looked like before the flooding. its homes and fields clearly visible. this is the situation now. 0verrun and overwhelmed. stepping away from the political turmoil surrounding his government, prime minister shahbaz sharif was seen distributing relief items. while poor planning and infrastructure has played a role in all this,

climate change is also to blame. pakistan only produces 1% of global emissions, yet the country is dealing with some of its worst consequences. facing monsoons and floods that are far more frequent and severe than the norm. sindh province has seen nearly nine times its usual august rainfall. so the country is urgently asking others for help. we're working with 35 donors right now. but, you know, the responses are in principle very, very positive. but we do need technical assistance. we need a lot of mobilisation on the ground. pakistan was already facing an economic crisis. so these floods are coming at a difficult time. and with some areas bracing for torrents of water from swollen rivers, the damage is not over yet. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. our correspondent pumza fihlani

their lives, those that could also picked up whatever farm animals they could take to try and use them to produce milk or cell them later on to try and get money.— produce milk or cell them later on to try and get money. thank you very much for now. _ to try and get money. thank you very much for now, pumza _ to try and get money. thank you very much for now, pumza fihlani. - a week after nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel was fatally shot, police have issued a warning to anyone withholding information that they are protecting her killers. 0livia was killed last monday evening when a gunman fired into her home. his intended target was another man who had forced his way into the house, in liverpool. yesterday, 0livia was remembered at church services across the city. we can speak now to our reporter phil mccann. a week on from 0livia's shooting, do you know where exactly the police are in the investigation? we you know where exactly the police are in the investigation?— you know where exactly the police are in the investigation? we are now are in the investigation? we are now a week under— are in the investigation? we are now a week under nobody _ are in the investigation? we are now a week under nobody has _ are in the investigation? we are now a week under nobody has been - are in the investigation? we are now. a week under nobody has been charged with 0livia's murder, all the attempted murder of her mum or the man who was being chased into her

home. two men were arrested towards the end of last week but over the weekend they were released on bail, one recalled to prison for breaching the terms of his licence. last night merseyside police release that plea to anybody who has information about 0livia's death. it came amidst a spate of gun violence in merseyside, just a few days ago 28—year—old ashley dale was gunned down in her own back garden in livable and a few days before that 22—year—old sam ribot was shot dead and on social media last night merseyside police said, we know their names, now we need to know the names of their killers. they said we have got parents who have lost children, a nine—year old girl who will not celebrate her 18th birthday or her wedding and she will not have children of her own. if you have got of the mission and you are withholding it, they say, you are protecting her killers. yesterday was a day of in merseyside where

0livia was remembered in prayers in church services across liverpool, and today will be a day of reflection as well because it will be later on tonight exactly one week on since abad was running down the street, chased by a government, shooting at him, —— a man was running down the street chased by a gunman shooting at him. 0livia's mother opened the door to see what the noise was and then the manual ran in and shot 0livia the noise was and then the manual ran in and shot olivia and her mother. you can see the floral tributes behind me, a week on, this is still a community desperate for answers with nobody charged yet. thank you very much. police believe a teenage boy who died after collapsing at the leeds festival had taken ecstasy. the 16—year—old fell ill on saturday night and died yesterday in hospital. west yorkshire police is investigating whether he had taken a particular type of ecstasy tablet described as a grey or black oblong.

the former manchester united footballer paul pogba has told french police he's the victim of a blackmail plot. the midfielder, who left united forjuventus this summer, claims he's being targeted by an organised gang. it comes after his brother posted a video online in which he promised to publish "great revelations" about the player. french police are investigating. nasa is to launch a new era of moon exploration. later today the most powerful rocket it's ever built will blast off from the kennedy space center in florida. the artemis test flight will orbit the moon and it's hoped will help pave the way for a manned mission to the lunar surface in three years. 0ur science editor, rebecca morelle reports. it's almost time. standing on launch pad 39b, the same one used by the apollo missions,

the most powerful rocket nasa has ever built is ready for liftoff. the rocket is simply enormous. and it's only when you're standing here that you really get a sense of its size. and this is the last chance we'll see it up close. the launch pad is closing and fuelling is about to begin. because in just a few hours' time, this will be blasting off. the first step in our return to the moon for 50 years. we talk about moonshots as things that humans can do when we put our differences aside and we focus on the mission and do great things together. well, now we're going to have our own moonshot, right? and so this is our generation, like, we get to now say we did it. if we do this successfully monday, we have sent something like that, a human rated spacecraft to the moon. for its maiden launch, the rocket will push a capsule called 0rion into deep space, where it will go into orbit around the moon before it returns to earth. no astronauts will be on board this time. this is a test flight. with such new technology,

there are lots of things that could go wrong. we have done so much testing on this rocket. we've been through integrated testing. we've tested everything from the smallest material to every system. we've done everything we can do on the ground to eliminate the risk. from here, it'sjust a matter of testing it in flight. so much is riding on this. the next step is to get astronauts on board, and nasa's ultimate plan is to land the first woman and first person of colour on the lunar surface. along the causeways around cape canaveral, people are getting ready to watch the launch, setting up early to bag the best spot. hundreds of thousands are expected in the area. i'm really excited because it's like one of the biggest rocket launches in 50 years. it's the largest so far that's going to be going up and it will be extremely loud. i've been watching this stuff ever since, well, i i watched the space landing of '69. so we live pretty close to where it's going to be launching.

so we're probablyjust going to climb up on our roof and watch it from there. the weather might have other ideas, though. above the launch pad, the storms keep on coming. nasa will need a break in the clouds to get this rocket off the ground. rebecca morelle, bbc news at the kennedy space center, florida. they will be watching the weather very closely over the next few hours. it very closely over the next few hours. , ~ very closely over the next few hours. , . ., hours. it is lunchtime our time, about 12 p _ hours. it is lunchtime our time, about 12 p m- — the growing crisis around spiralling energy costs continues to dominate the political agenda this morning. let's get the latest from our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, who joins us from our london newsroom. still we talk about the economy, plans, these two candidates, particularly liz truss's tax plans, what can you tell us?— particularly liz truss's tax plans, what can you tell us? that's right. we know that _ what can you tell us? that's right. we know that liz _ what can you tell us? that's right. we know that liz truss _ what can you tell us? that's right. we know that liz truss wants - what can you tell us? that's right. we know that liz truss wants to l we know that liz truss wants to reverse a recent rise in national insurance if she becomes prime minister, she does not want to go ahead with the planned rise in corporation tax and her team have also said recently she is mulling

the idea of a cut in vat across the board. pauljohnson, the director of the institute for fiscal studies think tank has spoken to the times newspaper this morning and says that you clearly cannot do all of this without completely crashing the public finances. he says this simplistic mantra that you cut taxes and the economy grows more is, he goes on to say, quite worrying. quite the intervention there. in a separate piece he has written today, he says that neither of the candidates to be prime minister have come up with an adequate solution for rising energy bills. rishi sunak is talking about more targeted support if he becomes prime minister but we don't have full details. paul johnson also takes aim at another policy of liz truss, to pause the green levies on energy bills, part of your bills go towards green projects. he says that will be somewhere between meaningless and pointless. this comes as a lib temple suggest that a quarter of us

do not plan to turn on the heating over the winter period —— this comes as a liberal democrat poll suggests. liz truss says her plan will get the country back on track but a lot of questions about what candidates plan to do for people struggling over this winter and we need to know if both candidates have grasped the intervention that might be needed, we will know a week today so not long to find out. talks to try to end the council strike in scotland are set to enter their fifth day today. bin strikes now affect two thirds of scotland's local authorities and rubbish is building up in many town and city centres. katie hunter reports. the view from portobello beach. the rubbish here isn't as bad as other parts of edinburgh, but it's been building up. refuge workers have been striking in the city since the 18th of august. it's notjust the rubbish we pick up, it's the dog bags and everything else.

scott's on strike. he wants better pay, but he also wants to get back to work. we didn't want to see the town black or anything like that, we just want a clean city. but pay us for to keep the city clean. as you see along here is nice and clean, but that's the people of portobello that's been cleaning it while we are off. in the bins it's disgusting, but we'll have to go back on tuesday and clean it. around two thirds of scottish councils are affected by bin strikes, including glasgow, highland, aberdeen and dundee. talks between unions and council representatives once again ended without agreement. but one union source told the bbc they were anticipating a new offer soon. and for many people that can't come soon enough. although everyone we spoke to in portobello supported the strikes. i really don't like the way there's a lot of rubbish around, particularly this time of year, but i really feel for the binmen. i think the binmen are right. they're very poorly paid, they need more money,

but it's becoming pretty smelly and pretty awful. i feel for the tourists. so we got off the train - and that was the first thing i noticed was all of the trash. so immediately caught my attention and then i looked into it— and i understood what was going on. scott wants a deal sooner rather than later. seem to be talking and talking and talking. how much can you talk about? just sort something out and get us back to work. get the street clean again and back to normal. nobody wants to be on strike. we don't want to go about looking at bins overflowing and manky. the grassmarket�*s stinking. katie hunter, bbc news. a statue of the late comedian bobby ball has been unveiled in the lancashire town of lytham st annes. he died in 2020 at the age of 76 after contracting coronavirus. his comedy partner and friend tommy cannon was at the unveiling of the statue, which shows bobby doing his trademark move,

in this, the world's biggest olive oil producer, supplying half of all global stock, the yield is already down by a third. in the bottling plants, they're worried the flow is becoming a trickle. production in this factory that also exports to britain is dropping by a half, pushing up prices amidst a global food crisis. a vital sectorfor spain and for consumers is in danger. translation: shoppers| are already paying a third higher than last year, but the drought will increase that even more. with the downturn, we may have to lay off some workers. another year like this would be a complete catastrophe. now spain is turning to its shores to help the water shortage, expanding plants that desalinate sea water to compensate. the country forced to adapt to climate change.

translation: plants like this one i will allow us to secure business | around here because this is an area that has lived off of agriculture for years. the spanish government wants to expand our plants. this one will go up by 25%. the main problem here is clearly the drought. but there's another issue, too. half of the water coming out of this plant goes towards irrigating the fruit and vegetables growing in these kinds of greenhouses. spain producing the most in the eu. but perhaps with our climate heating, this country can just no longer afford to be the garden of europe. with parts of spain the driest in 1200 years, this dystopian vision of a once bountiful land is a glimpse into ourfuture. mark lowen, bbc news, andalucia. let's have a look at today's papers.

the mirror reports that "rocketing" energy costs are putting health and education in danger because hospitals and schools could have to make "brutal cuts" to pay their rising bills. the government told the paper that "core schools funding" would increase by £4 billion this year. the times leads on the energy crisis, but also carries this image of a girl at the notting hill carnival, which has returned this bank holiday weekend after a two year break due to the pandemic. hospitals are under pressure from record bed—blocking, according to the daily mail. it says more than 13,500 hospital beds are currently occupied by patients who have been cleared for discharge. and the independent says billions of pounds are set to be cut from foreign aid budgets unless ministers abandon rules which divert a quarter of funds to paying the costs of ukrainian refugees in the uk.

the crowd in the stadium. ellie simmonds raising the roof of the aquatic centre. and sarah storey unbeatable in the velodrome. but ten years on, what's the true legacy of the london paralympic games? in the past year, laura sugar has become a paralympic world and european champion. well, you can see the look on laura sugar�*s face. she's absolutely delighted with that. but in 2012, she was just a spectator. that literally changed my life. and since 2013, i've been a para—athlete. yeah, from watching 2012, i'm literally the definition of the legacy from it, that i saw it, i got inspired by it, i believed in it and believed in myself and suddenly realised there was an opportunity there. here at the park, the opportunities at grassroots for disabled people to access venues and sporting experiences are second to none. this all—ability cycling club has been running since london hosted

the games and has been thriving ever since. having a little bit on offer where you can actually start to inspire and connect people that wouldn't typically come and use the assets on their doorstep was a really important thing for bikeworks to achieve and i think we've done that. but for us i think connecting communities with the assets of the london 2012 games is hugely important. the impact of the games is clear to see. but is it enough? we should absolutely, massively celebrate 2012 as being stunning, incredible. but you can't expect a couple of weeks of the olympics and a couple of weeks of the paralympics to change the world. years ago, you knew you'd made it if you had $1 million a year shoe contract. you know, we're not even vaguely close to that for a disabled athlete. celebrate the moment but we can't ever be complacent about where we are. london 2012 raised the bar for para—sports and impacted disabled people like no other. now is the time for the next game—changing moment to keep

pushing those boundaries. kate grey, bbc news, at the queen elizabeth olympic park. i can't believe it is that long ago. happy days, a brilliant summer. lovely to reflect on that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. sussex police say they dealt with a number of incidents in the brighton and hove game against leeds. please also receive reports of homophobic comments on social media. they will be investigating with both brighton and leeds football clubs. families in brighton will have a final chance to visit uniform shops next week.

it's the northern irishman's most significant victory since he last won it three years ago and, as a result, he's now over 15 million pounds richer. with the story of mcilroy�*s historic day, here's nick parrott. a souvenir from a special day. little did this young fan know he was about to witness history. when rory mcilroy teed off for his final round, he was six shots behind scottie scheffler. catching the world number one was going to be a huge task — but one the northern irishman was more than up for. fortunately for him, the american was giving him a helping hand by dropping shots on the fourth and sixth holes. while mcilroy was on song — a hat—trick of birdies, and he was finally level with scheffler. the pair swapped the lead more than once — this was going to be about who could hold their nerve in this intense battle. rory could. scheffler couldn't. that bogey on the 16th handed mcilroy a one—shot lead he wouldn't surrender.

in the end, one of his hardest days had the easiest of finishes to secure a place in the record books. nick parrott, bbc news. not bad for one day's work. £50 million. well, not one day's work, let's be fair to him. but his win wasn't all about the money for him. he's been one of the pga's tour's most vocal advocates during the ongoing power struggle with the new controversial liv golf series, and had this to say after his victory. i hate what it's doing to the game of golf. i hate it. i really do. imean... it's going to be hard for me to stomach going to wentworth in a couple of weeks' time and seeing 18 of them there — like, thatjust... itjust doesn't sit right with me. so... yeah, i feel strongly. i believe... i believe what i'm saying are the right things. and i think when you believe that what you're saying is the right things, you're... you're happy to stick your

neck out on the line. yesterday we were telling you about liverpool scoring nine, now celtic have gone and done the same. they recorded their biggest away league win at dundee united. it saw celtic return to the top of the scottish premiership, two points clear of rangers and very much the team to catch — as nesta mcgregor reports. two players and six of the reasons celtic and theirfans are on cloud nine. yet to record a win this season, dundee united went behind when kyogo furuhashi made this tight finish look simple. his second, on a0 minutes, was anything but routine. and in first—half stoppage time, the japanese international secured his hat—trick. the celebration for anyone not keeping count. 4—0 up, going into the second half, it didn't take long before it was five — liel abada getting in on the action. the chance of seeing one hat—trick is rare. so, when abada scored a second nine minutes later, those inside tannadice

were on the brink of an even rarer sight — a double hat—trick. and on 77 minutes, with this dink, the israeli international delivered. celtic made it nine, nine minutes from time — their biggest ever away league win. the bhoys, buoyant. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. hearts are up to third after a 3—1 win over stjohnstone. lawrence shankland scored the winner from the penalty spot tottenham continued their impressive start to the premier league season with a 2—0 win at nottingham forest. harry kane scored the goals and had a penalty saved as unbeaten spurs moved up to third in the table. they've won three of their first four games. newcastle united were heading for a 1—0 defeat at wolves before allan saint—maximin struck. the 1—1 draw extends newcastle's unbeaten start. pablo fornals' deflected strike gave west ham a 1—0 win at aston villa. it's the hammers' first

win of the campaign, but villa have lost three of their four games. and one more premier league line. with just four days left before the football transfer window closes, manchester united have splashed the cash. they've agreed to pay more than £80 million to sign the brazil winger antony from manager erik ten hag's former club ajax. he'll become manchester united's joint—second—most—expensive signing alongside defender harry maguire. on to formula 1 — and it looks like max verstappen is heading towards a second consecutive world championship, following his victory at the belgian grand prix yesterday. meanwhile, things have gone from bad to worse for mercedes and lewis hamilton as he crashed out of a race for the first time this year. red bull's verstappen led before the halfway point and stayed there to claim his ninth win in 1a races as he heads into his home race in zandvoort this coming weekend

for the dutch grand prix. disappointment for olympic gold medallist tom pidcock at the mountain bike world championships as he finished fourth in the men's elite cross country olympic final. pidcock remained in the hunt for a medal until the penultimate lap, where he came off his bike going around a tree. he still had a chance for bronze and was closing in on third — however, he got stuck on the same tree on the final lap, which ended his hopes of finishing on the podium. those pesky trees. there is always a treat. do those pesky trees. there is always a treat- do you — those pesky trees. there is always a treat. do you know _ those pesky trees. there is always a treat. do you know what _ those pesky trees. there is always a treat. do you know what i _ those pesky trees. there is always a treat. do you know what i mean? in| treat. do you know what i mean? in life, there is always a treat. you are not round. _ life, there is always a treat. you are not round. monday- life, there is always a treat. you are not round. monday morning| life, there is always a treat. you i are not round. monday morning as my tree. we are not round. monday morning as my tree- we are — are not round. monday morning as my tree. we are all _ are not round. monday morning as my tree. we are all there! _ are not round. monday morning as my tree. we are all there! at _ are not round. monday morning as my tree. we are all there! at least i are not round. monday morning as my tree. we are all there! at least we i tree. we are all there! at least we are altogether. _ tree. we are all there! at least we are altogether. that's _ tree. we are all there! at least we are altogether. that's lovely. i tree. we are all there! at least we| are altogether. that's lovely. once more with feeling. _ are altogether. that's lovely. once more with feeling. we _ are altogether. that's lovely. once more with feeling. we are - are altogether. that's lovely. once more with feeling. we are all- more with feeling. we are all

it is possible to go to the beach the best places the south—west of england and also south wales because for the rest of us there will be sunshine around but at times there will be a fair bit of clout. high pressure is in charge of our weather at the moment, the air around it moves clockwise, so a brisket breeze coming down the north sea coastline and through the english channel, so if you are going to the coast here it will feel cooler. also some rain across northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england which will tend to fizzle as we go through the morning because we hang onto some showers just dotted around. fairly isolated and today if you catch one across the highlands and grampian is, it could be sharp. maybe even with the odd rumble of thunder. where we have the cloud developing in it. the best of the sunshine will be in the west and this is where we will see the highest temperatures. not particularly windy, this once

breeze coming in across the east coast and the english channel and that will have an impact on the temperatures here, so it won't be as warm across eastern areas and parts of the south coast as it is as you push inland. temperatures here, 13 reflected 18 or 19 degrees. further west, up to 24 or 25 somewhere in south—west england. as we head on through the evening and overnight we will still have variable amounts of cloud. still some showers pushing southwards across scotland tonight, some hill fog, as well. come south, clearer skies. still some hill fog, as well. come south, clearerskies. stilla some hill fog, as well. come south, clearer skies. still a few showers in the east and these are overnight lows. nine to 13 degrees. in the shelter tonight we could see temperatures fall away as low as 7 or 8 degrees, so a chilly night for some. tomorrow we start off with a cloud in the north of the country, still some showers across western and southern scotland, a few showers coming in across east anglia and the south—east and through the day on

the breeze, blowing inland towards the breeze, blowing inland towards the midlands and central and southern england. still breezy down this naughty coastline and the english channel, so once again in both these areas on the coast it will feel that bit cooler. in the sunshine further west you can see temperatures again took about 24 or 25 degrees. as we head on into wednesday it will be a chilly start in sheltered parts of scotland, temperatures overnight could fall away as low as 3 or 4 degrees under clear skies and you can see less cloud around but still cloud coming in across the east and again the south—east seeing something brighter than we were expecting today or tomorrow. temperatures 14 to 25 degrees. as we head through the rest of the week, well, we have an area of the week, well, we have an area of low pressure to the south. another to the west. high pressure pushes away so by the time we get to the end of the week the weather starts to turn more unsettled and there is a good chance that some of us will see some rain, but not all

usually i'm just with my mum and my sister. we're from paris and it's our first time in notting hill and we love it! it's very good. we think this could be one i of the biggest carnivals ever, if not the biggest. it's up to two million - people today and tomorrow. residents, by and large, have embraced carnivall getting bigger and bigger. |the council's done a greatjob —j the council and the organisers — working with the residents to make sure we try and minimise _ the disruption for the residents. day one was full of colour and sound, but the launch of carnival was marked green for grenfell — with a moment of silence for the 72 victims. it was a very, very bad tragedy that happened in the community for us. and, actually, it shows that the community can come together. and that they did — kicking off carnival by running the parade route in tribute. the streets soon filled up, with many eager to get back to europe's largest street party.

well, this morning, these... she laughs. these streets were empty this morning, and now they are swamped with crowds who are hungry to get back to carnival after three years. it's an energy local performers have been waiting for, after carnival was forced online by covid for the last two years. tried to recreate the experience through different mediums, but it's not the same as coming to carnival — the experience of it, interacting with all the people, hearing the music, having the food. nothing compares. how does it feel to be back? it feels absolutely amazing. we have waited a long time forthis, being in lockdown, and we're just glad — as you can see — to be back on the street playing music, entertaining the crowds and celebrating culture. happy people, hands in the air! the pulse of west london has been revived. but, really, it's like the beat never really stopped. meghan owen, bbc news.

caribbean culture. it began in the 19605 when many residents here in the caribbean came here at a time they faced racial prejudice, race riots, and they wanted to celebrate their caribbean heritage. of course, since then, this event has morphed into a global event and throughout the day there will be colourful costumes, slopes and sound systems for people to really enjoy themselves. the met police say they have been working with organisers to ensure the days run smoothly and it is safe and a top tip, if you are coming down, make sure that you plan your route because there is a bus strike today, so some roots are affected, and some stations will have a limited service throughout the day, as well. i have a limited service throughout the day, as well.— the day, as well. i bet that food smells fantastic! _ the day, as well. i bet that food smells fantastic! well, - the day, as well. i bet that food smells fantastic! well, oh, i. the day, as well. i bet that food l smells fantastic! well, oh, i know already what _ smells fantastic! well, oh, i know already what i'm _

or anywhere in west or south west london, it's day two of a strike by around 1,600 bus drivers. it'll affect around 60 routes in the area operated by london united. and is because of a dispute over pay. today marks ten years since the start of the london 2012 paralympics. more than 4,000 athletes from around 150 countries participated. great britain finished third in the medal table and for five—time paralympic champion swimmer, ellie simmonds, the most important legacy of the games was inspiring future athletes. i'm still — when i walk around the streets, i still get people saying, "oh, i was here when 2012 happened." like, everyone's got a story to tell, and inspiring that next generation, the next olympians, paralympians is phenomenal. let's have a look at the tubes. so thejubilee line has minor delays westbound. the met line has no service between harrow—on—the—hill and watford, amersham and chesham. the overground is part suspended. and the waterloo & city line is

closed because of the bank holiday. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild start this bank holiday monday — temperatures overnight stayed widely in the mid—teens celsius. quite a bit of cloud around, though. a few brighter spells — we'll see the cloud breaking here and there to some sunny spells. northeasterly breeze could just see one or two isolated showers blowing through, but largely dry and temperatures at 22 celsius. now, the sunshine becoming a bit more widespread towards the end of the afternoon, so we'll get some late evening sunshine, then clear for the first part of the night. second half of the night, we could just see more cloud and one or two isolated showers — minimum between 11 and 13 celsius. now, high pressure not only in charge for today, but also through tomorrow, as well. so we're looking at largely dry conditions. however — same as today — could just see one or two showers blow through on that northeasterly breeze along with that cloud. still some sunny spells, though, and temperatures on tuesday reaching a maximum again of 22 celsius. the high pressure still with us through wednesday — perhaps a little bit warmer on wednesday, but still fine,

largely dry with some sunshine, and for thursday, as well. and it stays pretty settled through much of this week. it's not until perhaps later on on friday — and especially into the weekend, first part of next week — where things turn progressively more unsettled. and if you're planning to go to carnival — orjust want to find out more about it — we've got a quick one minute video guide to everything you need to know — it's on our website and our instagram. now it's back to sally and jon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. pakistan appeals for international aid to deal with catastrophic floods and there's a warning that worse is to come. a week on from the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, merseyside police continue to appeal for information. ready for lift off. nasa prepares for the launch of a giant rocket which will kick start its mission to the moon. three is the magic numberfor rory mcilory. the northern irishman claims golf�*s biggest paycheque as he wins the tour championship for a record third time. good for a record third time. morning. many of the start of good morning. many of the starting of this morning with a fair bit of cloud around, and also some showers.

breaks in the cloud but sunnier skies will be in the south—west, and it will be cooler along the north sea coast and the english channel coast with an onshore breeze. all of the details later in the programme. it's monday the 29th of august. our main story. pakistan is bracing for more of the devastating floods which have already killed more than a thousand people sincejune. officials say swollen rivers are running down from mountainous areas and threatening to deluge lower lying areas, particularly in the sindh province, which is already the worst—hit region. millions of people could be affected. pakistan's foreign minister has called the floods a catastrophe, and the government has issued a fresh appeal for more international aid. azadeh moshiri reports. a young boy stranded on a rock as raging waters surround him. you can see a rescue worker edging out of the helicopter, lifting him up to safety. it's but one of the countless rescue

efforts that are happening as pakistan faces one of the worst floods in years, with more than 1,000 people dead and millions affected. i find it very difficult to put into words. the phraseologies that we're used to, whether it's monsoon rains or flooding, doesn't quite seem to encapsulate the ongoing devastation and disaster that we're still witnessing. the satellite images show the sheer scale of the flooding. this is what rajanpur in pakistan's punjab province looked like before the flooding. its homes and fields clearly visible. this is the situation now. overrun and overwhelmed. stepping away from the political turmoil surrounding his government, prime minister shahbaz sharif was seen distributing relief items. while poor planning and infrastructure has played a role in all this, climate change is also to blame. pakistan only produces i%

of global emissions, yet the country is dealing with some of its worst consequences. facing monsoons and floods that are far more frequent and severe than the norm. sindh province has seen nearly nine times its usual august rainfall. so the country is urgently asking others for help. we're working with 35 donors right now. but, you know, the responses are in principle very, very positive. but we do need technical assistance. we need a lot of mobilisation on the ground. pakistan was already facing an economic crisis. so these floods are coming at a difficult time. and with some areas bracing for torrents of water from swollen rivers, the damage is not over yet. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. a week after nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel was fatally

shot, police have issued a warning to anyone withholding information that they are protecting her killers. olivia was killed last monday evening when a gunman fired into her home. his intended target was another man who had forced his way into the house, in liverpool. yesterday, olivia was remembered at church services across the city. we can speak now to our reporter phil mccann. a reporter phil mccann. week on from olivia's shooti what a week on from olivia's shooting, what more can you tell us about where the police investigation is at the moment? we where the police investigation is at the moment?— where the police investigation is at the moment? ~ ., . , the moment? we know that nobody has been charged — the moment? we know that nobody has been charged with _ the moment? we know that nobody has been charged with olivia's _ the moment? we know that nobody has been charged with olivia's murder - the moment? we know that nobody has been charged with olivia's murder a - been charged with olivia's murder a week on, we did have two people arrested last week, armed merseyside police officers arrested two men on thursday and friday but they were released over the weekend on police bail. last night merseyside police released a plea on social media for information notjust about olivia's death but also about the death of two other people who have been killed in what has become a spate of

gun violence over the last few days in merseyside. 28—year—old ashley dale was shot dead in her own garden in a case of sake and identity, also 22—year—old sam rimmer shot dead in south liverpool. on twitter last night merseyside police said, you know their names, now we need the names of their murderers. we have got parents, they said, who have lost children, a nine—year—old girl who will not sell at her 18th birthday, she will not sell about her wedding, birthday, she will not sell about herwedding, or —— birthday, she will not sell about her wedding, or —— celebrate her wedding or birthdays, if you have information you are protecting the killers, said merseyside police. yesterday there was a day of reflection as churches remembered olivia in their prayers, tonight will mark the point at which it will be exactly a week since olivia was killed, in her own hallway, is a man ran down this suburban street here being chased by a man with a gun who was shooting at him, he forced his

way into olivia's house because her mother had open the door to see what was going on, the gunman continued to shoot at the man he was chasing but shot olivia fatally and also shot olivia's mother in her hand. this is a community as you can see from the floral tributes that is in grief, some people have told us they are scared as well because of the fact that innocent victims have been getting caught up in gun violence here in merseyside. one week on it as a community more than anything else desperate for answers.- else desperate for answers. thank ou ve else desperate for answers. thank you very much. — else desperate for answers. thank you very much, phil. _ police believe a teenage boy who died after collapsing at the leeds festival had taken ecstasy. the i6—year—old fell ill on saturday night and died yesterday in hospital. west yorkshire police is investigating whether he had taken a particular type of ecstasy tablet described as a grey or black oblong. the former manchester united footballer paul pogba has told

one french police he's the victim of a blackmail plot. the midfielder, who left united forjuventus this summer, claims he's being targeted by an organised gang. it comes after his brother posted a video online in which he promised to publish "great revelations" about the player. french police are investigating. an international inspection team is on its way to the russian—occupied power plant at zaporizhzhia in ukraine. president zelensky had requested the visit following concerns that intense fighting nearby could damage the facility. we can speak now to our correspondent in ukraine's capital kyiv, hugo bachega. hugo, this sounds significant, explain the importance of it? absolutely. forweeks explain the importance of it? absolutely. for weeks we have been talking about tensions around this nuclear facility, talking about tensions around this nuclearfacility, and calls for international monitors to be allowed into this complex. this morning, the

head of the international atomic energy agency tweeted that omission was on its way, they said that they are proud to lead the mission in zaporizhzhia this week. no details have been released about how this trip is going to be organised but if the visit goes ahead, it could mark the visit goes ahead, it could mark the escalation in tensions around this facility. tensions that have raised fears of a catastrophe. ukraine says russia has turned this nuclear facility into a military base, using it to launch attacks against ukrainian towns, perhaps knowing that ukrainian forces are unlikely to retaliate. russia rejects those allegations, and says russian troops are there protecting this plant. earlier this month, antonio guterres, the un chief, was here in this city and said that it was essential for international monitors to be allowed into this nuclear facility.

monitors to be allowed into this nuclearfacility. we monitors to be allowed into this nuclear facility. we also talked about the need to create a demilitarised zone around the complex but this proposal has been rejected by russia.— rejected by russia. thank you very much for now. _ rejected by russia. thank you very much for now, hugo. _ the growing crisis around spiralling energy costs continues to dominate the political agenda this morning. let's get the latest from our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, who joins us from our london newsroom. good morning, david. we have had some reaction overnight to liz truss's tax plans, what can you tell us? ., �* , truss's tax plans, what can you tell us? . �* , , , , us? that's right, liz truss is championing _ us? that's right, liz truss is championing tax _ us? that's right, liz truss is championing tax cuts, - us? that's right, liz truss is championing tax cuts, her i us? that's right, liz truss is - championing tax cuts, her team saying that no further action is off the table but what we know is she wants to reverse a recent rise in national insurance, she wants to not go ahead with the planned rise in corporation tax, and now we are hearing that she could consider a cut in vat across the board. we have heard this morning from the head of the iss, the institute for fiscal studies, the economic think tank, their boss pauljohnson telling the times that it is a simplistic mantra to always think that cutting taxes

and the economy grows. he has written a separate piece saying that neither of the candidates to be prime minister have come up with an adequate solution for rising energy bills. rishi sunak is promising more targeted support towards the most vulnerable facing critical terms but no details. pauljohnson saying that the pausing of the green levies on energy bills will be somewhere between meaningless and pointless, and he says that liz truss coming prime minister realises she will realise there are hard choices that sometimes involve tax rises. certainly liz truss will be no fan of that because she believes that cutting taxes to stimulate the economy and is the best way to avoid recession. we have a new prime minister a week today, rishi sunak or liz truss, but there is still not complete clarity about what either

of them will be doing to help with spiralling costs or help tackle the cost of living problems we are seeing it as soon as one of them walks into downing street they will be under a lot of pressure to spell out their plans immediately. thank out their plans immediately. thank ou ve out their plans immediately. thank you very much _ out their plans immediately. thank you very much indeed. _ you very much indeed. it is a big day for space exploration, potentially. nasa is counting down to the launch of its most powerful rocket, which it's hoped will kick—start plans to put humans back on the moon for the first time in 50 years. we can speak now to our science editor, rebecca morelle, who's at the kennedy space center where they are preparing for lift off. rebecca, i think you win the best shot of the day! an illuminated rocket behind you. what is the significance of this moment? yes. significance of this moment? yes, not bad, significance of this moment? yes, not bad. here. _ significance of this moment? yes, not bad, here, is— significance of this moment? yes, not bad, here, is it? _ significance of this moment? yes, not bad, here, is it? this- significance of this moment? yes, not bad, here, is it? this is- significance of this moment? yes, not bad, here, is it? this is a - significance of this moment? ike: not bad, here, is it? this is a huge moment for nasa here today. the countdown clock is ticking. there is a great deal of excitement and trepidation because this is the

launch of the space launch systems, nasa's new mega moon rocket. it is enormous, it looks small in the distance but this thing is 100 metres tall, 320 feet, and it is the most powerful rocket that nasa has ever built. refuelling has begun, it was a bit held up because of the weather here. we have had some lightning in the last hour, it is raining quite hard but we are hoping that the weather will clear in a few hours for lunch because this thing needs to get up. it's heading up to the moon. the rocket lifts off and it takes a capsule at the top of it called orion, that will go into orbit around the moon and then come back down to earth, the whole thing will take about six makes. no people on board his flight, it is to test out the rocket and the spacecraft. but if everything goes well today, the next step is to get astronauts on board. for the next mission they will be going into orbit around the

moon and then after that there will be the first landing for the artemis mission, the first woman and the first person of colour landing on the moon. it has been 50 years, can you believe it, since humans have last been on the moon. so this is going to be a huge deal to get people back. so it's a really big day here at the kennedy space center. we need a lot of things to go right, this rocket, it has thousands of moving parts, the weather has to be perfect, so everybody here is keeping fingers crossed that everything lines and this thing can go up and get off the ground. ifind this thing can go up and get off the round. �* r, this thing can go up and get off the round. �* . . , , ground. and if that happened it will be in about five _ ground. and if that happened it will be in about five or _ ground. and if that happened it will be in about five or six _ ground. and if that happened it will be in about five or six hours, - be in about five or six hours, lunchtime uk time?- be in about five or six hours, lunchtime uk time? yes, that's riuht. lunchtime uk time? yes, that's right- there _ lunchtime uk time? yes, that's right. there was _ lunchtime uk time? yes, that's right. there was a _ lunchtime uk time? yes, that's right. there was a bit _ lunchtime uk time? yes, that's right. there was a bit of- lunchtime uk time? yes, that's right. there was a bit of a - lunchtime uk time? yes, that'si right. there was a bit of a delay lunchtime uk time? yes, that's i right. there was a bit of a delay on filling up the rocket with fuel because of the lightning, but at the moment that does not seem to have been affecting the launch time. there is a two hour launch window

will try and brighton. northern ireland has a few showers dotted around, early rain clearing. we have got a fair bit of cloud across the midlands, into the south—east, producing some showers. in east anglia heading towards the midlands as well. brighter skies likely to be in the southern half of wales and south—west england. a brisk breeze along the english channel and the north sea coastline pegging back temperatures. this evening and overnight we have cloud across scotland and eastern england, some showers pushing south, clear skies across many other western areas and these are the overnight lows. ten to 14 these are the overnight lows. ten to iii degrees. in sheltered areas where we have got clearer skies, temperatures could fall down to seven or eight. tomorrow across scotland, a fair bit of cloud and showers, eastern england has cloud but both areas have got sunny spells developing. the sunniest spells for

the longest will be in the west. temperatures 23 degrees but still brisk winds across the north sea coastline and the english channel coastline and the english channel coastline as well. thank you very much, see you later. let's get more on that flooding in pakistan. we can talk now to umar bacha, a journalist for the dawn newspaper. he's currently in the shangla district in north—west pakistan, where thousands of people have fled their homes. good morning, umar. can you festival tell us the situation there today? thank you so much. to date is quite bitter, people are... we thank you so much. to date is quite bitter, people are...— bitter, people are... we know that rain is normal _ bitter, people are... we know that rain is normal in _ bitter, people are... we know that rain is normal in pakistan, - bitter, people are... we know that rain is normal in pakistan, why - bitter, people are... we know that rain is normal in pakistan, why is l rain is normal in pakistan, why is this particular monsoon quite

pensioners are facing heartbreaking decisions. whether to eat or heat their homes, whether they feed their children or pay electricity bills. that is a to the 21st century, in the fifth largest —— is scandalous in the 21st century, in the fifth largest economy in the world, we are finding that the crisis at the stage which will affect all of us. nobody will escape this. we must have the energy price cap, extend the windfall tax on oil and gas companies, and look at targeted measures for those who are in the lowest income band and see what we can do for them. you lowest income band and see what we can do for them.— can do for them. you say the government _ can do for them. you say the government is _ can do for them. you say the government is doing - can do for them. you say the | government is doing nothing. can do for them. you say the - government is doing nothing. they did unveil a multi—billion pound package earlier in the summer, some of that help will go to people in the next few weeks. and this time next week, monday, we get a new prime minister who will then we all assume have an emergency budget and outline the planes going forward. they would say they have done something and they are going to do much more. mr; something and they are going to do much more-—

this winter. we about not having their heating on this winter-— about not having their heating on this winter. ~ , ., ., this winter. we understand over the weekend, this winter. we understand over the weekend. liz _ this winter. we understand over the weekend, liz truss, _ this winter. we understand over the weekend, liz truss, who _ this winter. we understand over the weekend, liz truss, who seems - this winter. we understand over the weekend, liz truss, who seems to i this winter. we understand over the i weekend, liz truss, who seems to be paul position to be the next prime minister, is considering what is being described as the nuclear option of reducing vat by 5%. how much help with that before people across the uk, what do you think of that? ~ across the uk, what do you think of that? . .,. ., , across the uk, what do you think of that? ., , , , ., that? we did actually suggest that vat should be _ that? we did actually suggest that vat should be reduced _ that? we did actually suggest that vat should be reduced to - that? we did actually suggest that vat should be reduced to several| vat should be reduced to several months ago so the garment could have done that as well. it's another indication that she is only now considering that. we actually needed action before now. there is no excuse for the government still tinkering around the edges and thinking about what they might do about vat, we have said it would help. but the thing which should be critical is the energy price being frozen. the cap increase should be scrapped and the government should pick up the difference between what we are paying and what ofgem raise the cap to, what companies would be charging. the government should pick that up. that is the only way, with

a windfall tax, to help people through this winter. what we have at the moment isn't sufficient. we through this winter. what we have at the moment isn't sufficient.- the moment isn't sufficient. we talk about the cap _ the moment isn't sufficient. we talk about the cap all _ the moment isn't sufficient. we talk about the cap all the _ the moment isn't sufficient. we talk about the cap all the time, - the moment isn't sufficient. we talk about the cap all the time, don't - about the cap all the time, don't week, and some people question whether it is really a cap at all because it keeps going up and up and will continue to do so. that cap doesn't affect businesses, does it? what could you do, what would you do to encourage and help businesses that are going through this as well as householders? we that are going through this as well as householders?— that are going through this as well as householders? we have actually sut tested as householders? we have actually suggested things — as householders? we have actually suggested things to _ as householders? we have actually suggested things to help _ as householders? we have actually| suggested things to help businesses one of the things that would help them would be that vat reduction. we suggested reducing it from 20 to 17.5% to put more money back in peoples pockets so that they will help out has two businesses. we do need to look at how we can help small and busy insight —— medium size enterprises through this because they are the backbone of our economy and they are struggling. and as you so rightly say, there is no

energy cap for them. it all comes back to the fact that the government needs to step in, freeze prices, and pick up the difference and pay for it by extending the wimple tax. it could raise more than £20 billion. and have targeted measures to get people through this winter. christine jardine from the liberal democrats, thank you very much indeed. we know the government would say that it doesn't help that investment, the windfall tax, you know the arguments back but we will return to it in the future. talking about investments, and the economic climate. store closures have slowed down significantly in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. however, are these green shoots of recovery about to be steam—rollered by the cost—of—living crisis?

how realistic are the shoots being as green as they might appear? cathy parker is a professor of retail and marketing enterprise at manchester metropolitan university. interesting to compare those two sections of time, because coming out of a pandemic, you would probably hope that things on the high street were looking a little bit better for the first six months of this year. what does it actually mean with everything else that we now know which is going on? i everything else that we now know which is going on?— everything else that we now know which is going on? i think we have seen eak which is going on? i think we have seen peak store _ which is going on? i think we have seen peak store closure _ which is going on? i think we have seen peak store closure which - which is going on? i think we have seen peak store closure which is l seen peak store closure which is obviously good news. but really a lot of that was not a macro related, a lot of the businesses that went bust were probably going to bust anyway —— it it was not covid related. this report talks specifically about multiple businesses, big stores like debenhams which were saddled with a lot of debt, they had not adjusted their operating model for online and they were not really doing the right things. in their place are actually more independents driving growth of recovery on the high street.

although the figures show it is positive, more positive than it was for the multiples, i think the more interesting story is those smaller businesses, the independents. hand businesses, the independents. and how those smaller independent businesses keep going in the months ahead because we were just talking to christine jardine about bills, the threats on all sides around them. a lot of them will really struggle. them. a lot of them will really strut tle. , ., ., them. a lot of them will really strut t le, , ., ., ., them. a lot of them will really strunle. , ., ., ., , struggle. they are going to struggle because they _ struggle. they are going to struggle because they don't _ struggle. they are going to struggle because they don't have _ struggle. they are going to struggle because they don't have access - struggle. they are going to struggle because they don't have access to i because they don't have access to the sort of finance and backing the larger businesses have. so i'm very worried about what will happen on the high street because it has been a good news story for quite a long time, because we are almost like clearing out the old and in with the new, the sort of businesses that consumers want to see. and they have been starting up and being successful, leisure, food, hospitality. but those businesses are facing so many crises. notjust

the cost of living, energy prices, staffing shortages, difficult for them to get supplies. through the system. so they are really being squeezed from every single angle. so, certainly listening to your last piece there, we have to support these businesses, we have to help them through this crisis. the government is spending a lot of money on regeneration which is fantastic, i have seen more money spent on town centre regeneration in 25 years of my career. but if there are no businesses in those sort of new buildings, lovely public realm that nobody visiting, then the whole purpose of town centres, that's that purpose. so i am optimistic in terms of the structural changes helping the high street adapt but feeling pessimistic in terms of these small businesses and their ability to survive over the next few months.

professor cathy parker, thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. it's the last day of notting hill carnival — after a three—year absence because of covid restrictions. x factor winner alexandra burke will be one of the artists attending today. the mayor says he believes this'll turn out to be the biggest and best notting hill carnival ever — and stressed the significance of the event. it's really important for our economy, but also our culture — you know, it's diverse. and the great thing about this carnival is it celebrates caribbean culture, caribbean history, but also the artistic contribution of londoners. well, if you're off to carnival today — or anywhere in west or south west london — it's day two of a strike by around 1,600 bus drivers.

it'll affect around 60 routes in the area operated by london united, and is because of a dispute over pay. today marks ten years since the start of the london 2012 paralympics. more than 4,000 athletes from around 150 countries participated. great britain finished third in the medal table — and for five—time paralympic champion swimmer ellie simmonds, the most important legacy of the games was inspiring future athletes. i'm still — when i walk around the streets, i still get people saying, "oh, i was here when 2012 happened." like, everyone's got a story to tell, and inspiring that next generation, the next olympians, paralympians is phenomenal. let's have a look at the tubes. now the weather with kate kinsella.

good morning. it's a mild start this bank holiday monday — temperatures overnight stayed widely in the mid—teens celsius. quite a bit of cloud around, though. a few brighter spells — we'll see the cloud breaking here and there to some sunny spells. northeasterly breeze could just see one or two isolated showers blowing through, but largely dry and temperatures at 22 celsius. now, the sunshine becoming a bit more widespread towards the end of the afternoon, so we'll get some late evening sunshine, then clear for the first part of the night. second half of the night, we could just see more cloud and one or two isolated showers — minimum between 11 and 13 celsius. now, high pressure not only in charge for today, but also through tomorrow, as well. so we're looking at largely dry conditions. however — same as today — could just see one or two showers blow through on that northeasterly breeze along with that cloud. still some sunny spells, though, and temperatures on tuesday reaching a maximum again of 22 celsius. the high pressure still with us through wednesday — perhaps a little bit warmer on wednesday, but still fine, largely dry with some sunshine, and for thursday, as well. and it stays pretty settled through much of this week.

it's not until perhaps later on on friday — and especially into the weekend, first part of next week — where things turn progressively more unsettled. and if you're planning to go to carnival — orjust want to find out more about it — we've got a quick one—minute video guide to everything you need to know — it's on our website and our instagram. now it's back to sally and jon. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. just withjon kay and sally nugent. after 7:30am for w! holiday just after 7:30am for what is a bank holiday for lots of us. it's a big day in space, as well, notjust here. it's taken half a century but nasa is one step closer to putting humans back on the moon as it prepares to launch the first of the artemis mission this afternoon.

weather permitting. it was in 1969 when neil armstrong made history, taking the first small steps on the moon. the last time anyone followed in his footsteps was 50 years ago, with the final apollo mission in 1972. the clock is now counting down again. nasa will today launch the most powerful rocket it's ever developed. the orion spacecraft will travel around the moon as part of the artemis mission. if today's test goes well, it will kick—start plans to send astronauts back to the moon before the end of 2025. we're joined now by planetary scientist professor katherinejoy — along with peter lord, creator of shaun the sheep, who will be taking a giant leap for lambkind as one of the toys chosen to board the unmanned mission. more of that in a second. i will explain properly what is going to happen. but first of all, katherine,

ellie simmonds raising the roof of the aquatic centre. and sarah storey unbeatable in the velodrome. but ten years on, what's the true legacy of the london paralympic games? in the past year, laura sugar has become a paralympic, world and european champion. well, you can see the look on laura sugar�*s face. she's absolutely delighted with that. but in 2012, she was just a spectator. that literally changed my life. and since 2013, i've been a para—athlete. yeah, from watching 2012, i'm literally the definition of the legacy from it, that i saw it, i got inspired by it, i believed in it and believed in myself and suddenly realised there was an opportunity there. here at the park, the opportunities at grassroots for disabled people to access venues and sporting experiences are second to none. this all—ability cycling club has been running since london hosted the games and has been thriving ever since.

having a little bit on offer where you can actually start to inspire and connect people that wouldn't typically come and use the assets on their doorstep was a really important thing for bikeworks to achieve and i think we've done that. but for us i think connecting communities with the assets of the london 2012 games is hugely important. the impact of the games is clear to see. but is it enough? we should absolutely, massively celebrate 2012 as being stunning, incredible. but you can't expect a couple of weeks of the olympics and a couple of weeks of the paralympics to change the world. years ago, you knew you'd made it if you had $1 million a year shoe contract. you know, we're not even vaguely close to that for a disabled athlete. celebrate the moment but we can't ever be complacent about where we are. london 2012 raised the bar for para—sports and impacted disabled people like no other. now is the time for the next

game—changing moment to keep pushing those boundaries. kate grey, bbc news, at the queen elizabeth olympic park. incredible memories. we were really lucky to be there.— lucky to be there. absolutely. ten ears on. lucky to be there. absolutely. ten years on- so _ lucky to be there. absolutely. ten years on. so much _ lucky to be there. absolutely. ten years on. so much has _ lucky to be there. absolutely. ten years on. so much has changed i lucky to be there. absolutely. ten years on. so much has changed in! lucky to be there. absolutely. ten - years on. so much has changed in the last ten years. holly has a sport, tonnes of it stuck we were talking about inspiring the next generation and you had better believe there are lots of boys and girls in hollywood and county down who have a little golf club and his mummy and daddy want them to emulate this guy. smacking them around the lounge. rory mcilroy is the ultimate comeback kid. day one, the finale, the tour championship, there was a triple bogey involved. if anyone doesn't understand golf, that is not very good! and he was six shots behind and won by one shot. remarkable to win the title for the third time in his career. the first person to do that, as well. this all

happened last night at the pga tour championship. it's the northern irishman's most significant victory since he last won it three years ago and, as a result, he's now over £15 million richer. with the story of mcilroy�*s historic day, here's nick parrott. a souvenir from a special day. little did this young fan know he was about to witness history. when rory mcilroy teed off for his final round, he was six shots behind scottie scheffler. catching the world number one was going to be a huge task — but one the northern irishman was more than up for. fortunately for him, the american was giving him a helping hand by dropping shots on the fourth and sixth holes. while mcilroy was on song — a hat—trick of birdies, and he was finally level with scheffler. the pair swapped the lead more than once — this was going to be about who could hold their nerve in this intense battle. rory could. scheffler couldn't.

that bogey on the 16th handed mcilroy a one—shot lead he wouldn't surrender. in the end, one of his hardest days had the easiest of finishes to secure a place in the record books. nick parrott, bbc news. so rory mcilroy picks up over £15 million — but his win wasn't all about the money for him. he's been one of the pga's tour�*s most vocal advocates during the ongoing power struggle with the new controversial liv golf series, and had this to say after his victory. i hate what it's doing to the game of golf. i hate it. i really do. imean... it's going to be hard for me to stomach going to wentworth in a couple of weeks' time and seeing 18 of them there — like, thatjust... itjust doesn't sit right with me. so... yeah, i feel strongly. i believe... i believe what i'm saying are the right things.

and i think when you believe that what you're saying is the right things, you're... you're happy to stick your neck out on the line. anything liverpool can do, celtic can, too. the reds put nine past bournemouth on saturday, and yesterday the scottish premiership leaders did just that against dundee united. this was celtic�*s biggest—ever away victory in the league helped in no small part by a hat—trick from kyogo furuhashi. liel abada also scored three times as the hoops inflicted a worst—ever home defeat on united. celtic are two points clear of rangers. hearts are up to third after a 3—1win over stjohnstone. lawrence shankland scored the winner from the penalty spot tottenham continued their impressive start to the premier league season with a 2—0 win at nottingham forest harry kane scored the goals and had a penalty saved as unbeaten spurs moved up to third in the table. they've won three of

their first four games. newcastle united were heading for a 1—0 defeat at wolves before allan saint—maximin struck. the 1—1 draw extends newcastle's unbeaten start. pablo fornals' deflected strike gave west ham a 1—0 win at aston villa. it's the hammers' first win of the campaign, but villa have lost three of their four games. and one more premier league line with just four days left before the football transfer window closes manchester united have splashed the cash. they've agreed to pay more than £80 million to sign the brazil winger antony from manager erik ten hag's former club ajax. he'll become united's joint—second—most—expensive signing, alongside defender harry maguire. on to formula 1 — and it looks like max verstappen is heading towards a second consecutive world championship, following his victory at the belgian grand prix yesterday. red bull's verstappen led before

the halfway point and stayed there to claim his ninth win in m races as he heads into his home race in zandvoort this coming weekend. meanwhile things have gone from bad to worse for mercedes and lewis hamilton — he crashed out of a race for the first time this year. it prompted some harsh comments from former mclaren team—mate fernando alonso — who called him an "idiot" who "only knows how to drive when starting first". after the incident, hamilton took responsibility for the crash. got up alongside him, a little bit ahead of him. i thought that i left enough room and i didn't. and... and i paid the price for it. so it's my... it's my fault and... i'm just really sorry to my team, really. the us open begins today and is set to be a farewell to 23—time grand slam champion serena williams. williams announced last month she is "evolving

away" from the sport. she'll face montenegro's danka kovinic in the first round late tonight, but is also teaming up with sister venus in the doubles. the tributes are already coming in. i honestly think that she's, like, the biggest force in the sport. and that's not, like, intentionally trying to, like, make federer and nadal smaller — ijust think, like, she is the biggest thing that will ever be in the sport. and...it'sjust really an honour just to watch her play. he will have to stay up fairly late to watch her play. a lot of the matches are happening overnight but it will be worth watching. hate matches are happening overnight but it will be worth watching.— it will be worth watching. we have rockets flying _ it will be worth watching. we have rockets flying up _ it will be worth watching. we have rockets flying up in _ it will be worth watching. we have rockets flying up in one _ it will be worth watching. we have rockets flying up in one part - it will be worth watching. we have rockets flying up in one part of. rockets flying up in one part of america, tennis in another. thanks. we are keeping a close eye on the weather. notjust over in america, but also here. good morning.

america, but also here. good morning-— we are talking about beach weather earlier and you can see from one of our weather watchers it is a bright start to the day in moray but there is some cloud around, across parts of the uk. the warmest and sunniest skies in the south and south—west, especially the south—west itself. high pressure firmly in charge of our weather and the air around it moves in a clockwise direction, so along the north sea coastline and the english channel. a brisk breeze which will take the edge of the temperatures. we also have a decaying front bringing some rain across northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england. we hang onto a few showers just dotted around as we go through the course of the day. here we start with a fair bit of cloud around. some of that card breaking, we will see some sunny spells develop but the brighter skies will always be in the west and parts of the south. here, too, we will see the highest temperatures because if you are

exposed to the breeze or the wind, coming down that north sea coastline, it will feel cooler than it is going to do inland. not particularly strong, anywhere, but it will feel that bit chillier. 13 to 18 or 19 is what you can expect in the east and as we push by west we could see highs of up to 21t in the east and as we push by west we could see highs of up to 2a or 25 in the south—west. heading on through the evening and overnight, showers in scotland could be heavy in the afternoon, they push further south. we still have the cloud coming in from the north sea wave, again, a few showers. with further west under clear skies, in sheltered areas temperatures can fall away 27 or 8 degrees. in and cities, nine to 16 degrees. tomorrow we start off with cloud across scotland, still some splashes of rain or light showers, and in the east we also will see a bit more cloud and it will see a bit more cloud and it will drift inland through the day with a few showers. still cool among the north sea coast and the channel

coast, as well. this sunniest skies to the west, where we'll see the highest temperatures. wednesday, right across an area spanning the next few days. more sunshine, still some cloud played in parts of scotland and north—east england where there will also be some showers. across south—west england, northern ireland, western scotland, also some sunshine. temperatures 11t also some sunshine. temperatures 1a to 25 degrees. high pressure still in charge of our weather by the time we get to wednesday. to the end of the week, things start to change. low pressure to the south, low pressure to the west, high pressure drifting away at that recipe it means things will turn more unsettled and some of us will see some rain. at the moment it is looking likely on friday and into the weekend across southern and western areas, but the positioning of these fronts could change. temperatures up to 25

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. pakistan appeals for international aid to deal with catastrophic floods and there's a warning that worse is to come. a week on from the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt korbel, merseyside police continue to appeal for information. ready for lift off.

nasa prepares for the launch of a giant rocket which will kick start its mission to the moon. three is the magic numberfor rory mcilory. the northern irishman claims golf�*s biggest paycheque as he wins the tour championship for a record third time. good morning. today we are going to be chasing cloud around so there will not be a lot to start the day, with some showers, but brightening up with some showers, but brightening up through the day and the brighter skies will be across south wales and south—west england. cooler on the coasts. it's monday the 29th of august. our main story. pakistan is bracing for more of the devastating floods which have already killed more than a thousand people sincejune. officials say swollen rivers are running down from mountainous areas and threatening to deluge lower lying areas, particularly in the sindh province, which is already the worst—hit region. millions of people could be affected. pakistan's foreign minister has

called the floods a catastrophe and the government has issued a fresh appeal for more international aid. azadeh moshiri reports. a young boy stranded on a rock as raging waters surround him. you can see a rescue worker edging out of the helicopter, lifting him up to safety. it's but one of the countless rescue efforts that are happening as pakistan faces one of the worst floods in years, with more than 1,000 people dead and millions affected. i find it very difficult to put into words. the phraseologies that we're used to, whether it's monsoon rains or flooding, doesn't quite seem to encapsulate the ongoing devastation and disaster that we're still witnessing. the satellite images show the sheer scale of the flooding. this is what rajanpur in pakistan's punjab province looked like before the flooding. its homes and fields

clearly visible. this is the situation now. overrun and overwhelmed. stepping away from the political turmoil surrounding his government, prime minister shahbaz sharif was seen distributing relief items. while poor planning and infrastructure has played a role in all this, climate change is also to blame. pakistan only produces 1% of global emissions, yet the country is dealing with some of its worst consequences. facing monsoons and floods that are far more frequent and severe than the norm. sindh province has seen nearly nine times its usual august rainfall. so the country is urgently asking others for help. we're working with 35 donors right now. but, you know, the responses are in principle very, very positive. but we do need technical assistance. we need a lot of mobilisation on the ground. pakistan was already facing an economic crisis. so these floods are coming at a difficult time.

and with some areas bracing for torrents of water from swollen rivers, the damage is not over yet. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. a week after nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel was fatally shot, police have issued a warning to anyone withholding information that they are protecting her killers. olivia was killed last monday evening when a gunman fired into her home. his intended target was another man who had forced his way into the house, in liverpool. yesterday, olivia was remembered at church services across the city. we can speak now to our reporter phil mccann. a reporter phil mccann. week on exactly from the sh almost, a week on exactly from the shooting, almost, where is the police investigation up to? it almost, where is the police investigation up to?- almost, where is the police investigation up to? it did seem to be an intensification _ investigation up to? it did seem to be an intensification of _ investigation up to? it did seem to be an intensification of police - be an intensification of police activity over the weekend, we saw

sniffer dogs on this street yesterday. but still a week on from olivia's death, nobody has been charged with her murder, two men who were arrested last week were arrested on —— released on bail, one recalled to police for offences against his licence. and the police issued a plea for information over olivia's death and the deaths of two other people in what has become a spate of gun violence in merseyside which had led to the deaths of ashley dale, 28 years old, shot dead in her own back garden in a case of mistaken identity, as well as the death of 22—year—old sam rimmer. on twitter last night merseyside police said, we know their names, now we need the names of their murderers. we have got parents who lost their children, nine—year—old girl who will not celebrate her 18th birthday or her wedding and will not have children of her own. if you have got information and you are withholding it, the police said, you are

protecting the killers. a day of reflection is what this area saw yesterday, with olivia being remembered in church services and prayers and today will be a day of reflection because tonight will mark exactly seven days since olivia was shot dead in her own hallway, after the gunman burst in because the man that he was chasing bet into their house after olivia's mum opened the door to see what was going on outside. you can see the floral tributes have grown since yesterday when i was here, because this is a community that is in mourning. but also one we on and with nobody charged with olivia's murder, it is a community desperate to see some progress in this investigation. thank you very much, phil, reporting from liverpool. an international inspection team is on its way to the russian—occupied power plant at zaporizhzhia in ukraine. president zelensky had requested the visit following concerns that intense fighting nearby could damage the facility. we can speak now to our correspondent in ukraine's

capital kyiv, hugo bachega. there has been so much concern about this plant over the last few weeks, how significant is this announcement that an inspection team is heading there? it that an inspection team is heading there? , , ., ., , there? it seems that after multiple calls for international _ there? it seems that after multiple calls for international monitors - there? it seems that after multiple calls for international monitors to i calls for international monitors to be allowed into the nuclear facility, visit is going ahead. we had a tweet from rafael grossi, head of the international atomic energy agency, saying amission is on its way, saying he was proud to lead the mission which will be in zaporizhzhia later this week. —— eight mission is on its way. he said he must protect the safety and security of these nuclear facilities. they —— have released no

details about how this is going to work, no comment from the ukrainian authorities all the russian authorities. but this news this morning seems to suggest a possible de—escalation in the crisis. for weeks russia and ukraine have traded accusations as to who is to blame to she“ accusations as to who is to blame to shell this complex, ukraine says russia is using this base as a military base to launch attacks against ukraine knowing that ukrainian forces are unlikely to retaliate. russia rejects those allegations and saying russian troops are there protecting the plant. earlierthis troops are there protecting the plant. earlier this month the —— antonio guterres was here in ukraine, the un chief, and he said it was essential to allow monitors into the plant and he talked about the need to create a demilitarised zone around the facility. this proposal has been rejected by moscow. proposal has been re'ected by moscow. ., .. proposal has been re'ected by moscow. . ~ , ., ., ,

the growing crisis around spiralling energy costs continues to dominate the political agenda this morning. let's get the latest from our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, who joins us from our london newsroom. good morning. we have heard from the lib dems this morning, what have they been saying? thea;t lib dems this morning, what have they been saying?— they been saying? they have said that their policy _ they been saying? they have said that their policy is _ they been saying? they have said that their policy is that _ they been saying? they have said that their policy is that they - they been saying? they have said| that their policy is that they would like to see the wintle tax on oil and gas companies announced earlier this year extended, they believe in doing so you could effectively freeze energy prices where they are currently, meaning that the recent rise in the price cap that will come into effect in october will not have to happen. we have been hearing from christine jardine._ christine jardine. families and pensioners — christine jardine. families and pensioners are _ christine jardine. families and pensioners are facing - christine jardine. families and - pensioners are facing heartbreaking decisions, _ pensioners are facing heartbreaking decisions, whether they eat or heat their homes, whether they feed their children— their homes, whether they feed their children or— their homes, whether they feed their children or pay electricity bills. that— children or pay electricity bills. that is— children or pay electricity bills. that is scandalous in the 21st century. _ that is scandalous in the 21st century, in the fifth largest economy in the world, that we are

leads to automatic growth. in a separate piece he has talked about how neither candidate in his view has come up with adequate solutions for energy bills. rishi sunak wants to cut vat on energy bills and target support to the most vulnerable, but crucially no figures on support he would be giving. paul johnson saying that energy costs are going to be a big problem for even those on modest incomes and says on prime minister, the candidates might realise that they have to make difficult choices that might involve raising taxes. that is nothing that either candidate is talking about. the new prime minister takes office in a week. a lot of uncertainty about their plans, they will be under pressure to spell out exactly what they are going to do very quickly after entering number 10. thank you very much, david. it is a very big day for nasa! nasa is to launch a new era of moon exploration.

later today the most powerful rocket it's ever built will blast off from the kennedy space centre in florida. the artemis test flight will orbit the moon and it's hoped will help pave the way for a manned mission to the lunar surface in three years. our science editor, rebecca morelle reports. it's almost time. standing on launch pad 39b, the same one used by the apollo missions, the most powerful rocket nasa has ever built is ready for liftoff. the rocket is simply enormous. and it's only when you're standing here that you really get a sense of its size. and this is the last chance we'll see it up close. the launch pad is closing and fuelling is about to begin. because in just a few hours' time, this will be blasting off. the first step in our return to the moon for 50 years. we talk about moonshots as things that humans can do when we put our differences aside and we focus on the mission and do great things together. well, now we're going to have our own moonshot, right? and so this is our generation, like, we get to now say we did it.

if we do this successfully monday, we have sent something like that, a human rated spacecraft to the moon. for its maiden launch, the rocket will push a capsule called orion into deep space, where it will go into orbit around the moon before it returns to earth. no astronauts will be on board this time. this is a test flight. with such new technology, there are lots of things that could go wrong. we have done so much testing on this rocket. we've been through integrated testing. we've tested everything from the smallest material to every system. we've done everything we can do on the ground to eliminate the risk. from here, it'sjust a matter of testing it in flight. so much is riding on this. the next step is to get astronauts on board, and nasa's ultimate plan is to land the first woman and first person of colour on the lunar surface. along the causeways around cape canaveral, people are getting ready to watch the launch, setting up early

to bag the best spot. hundreds of thousands are expected in the area. i'm really excited because it's like one of the biggest rocket launches in 50 years. it's the largest so far that's going to be going up and it will be extremely loud. i've been watching this stuff ever since, well, i i watched the space landing of '69. so we live pretty close to where it's going to be launching. so we're probablyjust going to climb up on our roof and watch it from there. the weather might have other ideas, though. above the launch pad, the storms keep on coming. nasa will need a break in the clouds to get this rocket off the ground. rebecca morelle, bbc news at the kennedy space center, florida. here's the scene at the kennedy space center in florida where the launch is scheduled to take place at 1.30pm our time. look at that! four hours and 47 minutes and counting.- look at that! four hours and 47 minutes and counting. there is a launch window— minutes and counting. there is a launch window of _ minutes and counting. there is a launch window of two _ minutes and counting. there is a launch window of two hours, - minutes and counting. there is a launch window of two hours, so i minutes and counting. there is a i launch window of two hours, so half past one till half past three hour

week as low pressure moved in from the west and south, things turn more unsettled and a chance of rain but not all of us will see it. high pressure firmly in charge of our weather, the area, air is moving in a clockwise direction so it will be cooler along the north of the coastline and the english channel. there bit of cloud around producing showers in east anglia and the south—east, some rain across northern ireland and southern scotland and northern england. that will fizzle out but we could catch the odd shower in north wales, northern ireland and the odd sharp shower across the highlands and grampian is. you might hear the odd rumble of thunder. sunshine in the south—west and south wales. these indicate the average wind speeds, not particularly strong but it is the direction which is salient, coming in from the north—east which is chilly for us, and we have got temperatures along the north sea coastline between 13 and 19. inland

we are looking at more like 23, possibly 24 or 25 in the south—west. this evening we continue with some showers in the highlands and grampians, drifting further west and south. more cloud coming in from the north sea across eastern england with showers in east anglia, and part of the midlands. towards the west, clearer skies. part of the midlands. towards the west, clearerskies. overnight part of the midlands. towards the west, clearer skies. overnight lows, nine and 16 degrees. in the shelter under clearer skies, we could see temperatures fall away 27 or eight. tomorrow the setup is very similar to today, high pressure is still firmly in charge. a brisk breeze which will leave it cooler than the north sea coastline and the english channel. we have got cloud across scotland with a few showers in the west. cloud coming in across england, drifting towards the midlands and central and southern england through the day with some showers. west is best once again. the coast is still rather chilly,

but inland, 24, even 26 degrees on tuesday. wednesday, much brighter across southern areas, using the cloud but further north, east and scotland, northern england and wales will get the cloud and thick enough here and there but not everywhere for some showers. 14 to 25 degrees as we get towards the south—west. beyond that, low pressure coming our way, more especially on friday and into the weekend. coming up from the south into the west, the likelihood is it will merge and some of us in the south and west will see some rain. thejury is the south and west will see some rain. the jury is still out as they keep listening to the weather forecast if you are crying out for rain, hopefully it will come your way. thank you, talk to you soon. in a moment we're going to speak to the parents of angel lynn, a young woman who fell from a moving

van during a kidnap attempt by her abusive boyfriend. angel suffered catastrophic injuries and needs round—the—clock care but her family are desperate to bring her home. before we speak to them, abi smitton has been looking back at what happened. angel lynn, surrounded by her loving family. their lives were completely transformed when angel was left with devastating injuries in september 2020. this was angeljust days before it happened. she was kidnapped by her then boyfriend, chay bowskill. he forced her into the back of a van, which was then driven away by his friends. minutes later, angel fell out of the vehicle. she was left paralysed, unable to walk or talk. my daughter's got a life sentence. they've hurt my child. and they've took a life away from her. and they've took my life. chay bowskill was sentenced to seven and a half years for offences including kidnap and coercive control. his friend rocco sansome was jailed for 21 months.

but angel's family campaigned for their sentences to be reviewed. at the court of appeal, a judge increased bowskill�*s sentence to 12 years. sansome's remained the same. when we found out we were over the moon, weren't we? like, all our reaction in the room, we were all tears. we are really happy. it is very hard. but i mean, we all support each other in a way, and everyone is there for each other. but the main reason that we are all doing this is for angel. since the incident, angel has been cared for in a specialist facility. she's stronger than both of the [ads that have put her here. her family say she's made remarkable progress, but they've got a single goal. to bring her back home. she has different carers and stuff all the time, but i want her in her own house. with her own people around all the time. they've raised more than £150,000 for a purpose built extension to their house that would meet all of angel's needs. they've been given planning permission and are recruiting

workers, ready to welcome angel home. angel's parents, nikki and paddy, join us now along with her brotherjimmy and sister kelsie. good morning to all, thank you so much for coming in to talk to us. we havejust seen the much for coming in to talk to us. we have just seen the story of what happened to angel, how is she now? she is improving. so, she can move her right side really well, and now she is starting to move her left aside from the physio that she is having. she is communicating a little bit through some equipment but she has still got to get used to it, she's only had it put in on tuesday. so i'm hoping that she will be able to use that properly. 50. be able to use that properly. so, ho eful, be able to use that properly. so, hopeful. signs — be able to use that properly. so, hopeful, signs of improvement, that is great news for you as a family. definitely come.— is great news for you as a family. definitely come. how are you doing, mum, dad

meanwhile the met has confirmed a police horse died after collapsing on duty at carnival yesterday evening. there'll now be an investigation into the cause of its death. and if you're off to notting hill carnival today — or anywhere in west or southwest london — it's day two of a strike by around 1,600 bus drivers. it'll affect around 60 routes in the area, so make sure to check your journey. today marks ten years since the start of the london 2012 paralympics. more than 4,000 athletes from around 150 countries participated. great britain finished third in the medal table, and for five—time paralympic champion swimmer ellie simmonds, the most important legacy of the games was inspiring future athletes. i'm still — when i walk around the streets, i still get people saying, "oh, i was here when 2012 happened." like, everyone's got a story to tell, and inspiring that next generation, the next olympians, paralympians is phenomenal.

let's have a look at the tubes. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild start this bank holiday monday — temperatures overnight stayed widely in the mid—teens celsius. quite a bit of cloud around, though. a few brighter spells — we'll see the cloud breaking here and there to some sunny spells. northeasterly breeze could just see one or two isolated showers blowing through, but largely dry and temperatures at 22 celsius. now, the sunshine becoming a bit more widespread towards the end of the afternoon, so we'll get some late evening sunshine, then clear for the first part of the night. second half of the night, we could just see more cloud and one or two isolated showers — minimum between 11 and 13 celsius. now, high pressure not only in charge for today, but also through tomorrow, as well. so we're looking at largely dry conditions. however — same as today — could just see one or two showers blow through on that northeasterly breeze along with that cloud.

still some sunny spells, though, and temperatures on tuesday reaching a maximum again of 22 celsius. the high pressure still with us through wednesday — perhaps a little bit warmer on wednesday, but still fine, largely dry with some sunshine, and for thursday, as well. and it stays pretty settled through much of this week. it's not until perhaps later on on friday — and especially into the weekend, first part of next week — where things turn progressively more unsettled. and if you want some tips about how to get the most out of carnival — or you just want to find out more about it all — we've got a quick one—minute video guide to everything you need to know — it's on our website and our instagram. now it's back to sally and jon. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. breakfast is on bbc one until the slightly earlier time of nine o'clock today — after which it's time for the return of morning live.

we can speak now to our science editor, rebecca morelle, who's at the kennedy space center, where they are preparing for lift—off. i think you might have some news for us. , ., �* , , ., us. yes, that's right. it is a really big — us. yes, that's right. it is a really big day _ us. yes, that's right. it is a really big day here - us. yes, that's right. it is a really big day here for - us. yes, that's right. it is a | really big day here for nasa us. yes, that's right. it is a - really big day here for nasa and the countdown clock is ticking. you can see the rockets behind me, the space launch system. it has been fuelling, it was a bit delayed by lightning in the area and heavy rain but we have had some news coming through that they have detected a hydrogen leak. the rocket is being filled with oxygen, liquid hydrogen, and a hydrogen leak is not a good thing, basically, so what they are doing at the moment, they have stopped fuelling and they will try to fill the hydrogen really, really slowly to see if that solves the problem before they start to fill it quickly again. to find out a bit more about what this might mean i am joined by

it is fizzling out that you can see shows in scotland, he left in northern ireland, few in wales and into the south—eastern corner. here we have a bit more cloud around. clear skies to the west, but even so, when we have the cloud at the moment you will find it will tend to break up and a few more of us will see some bright or sunny intervals. cool it with an unsharp brisk breeze along the north sea coastline and english channel coastline. the south—west could hit 25 degrees today. if you are going out this afternoon, this is what you can expect. you can see where we are looking at sunny skies coming through. the peppering of cloud around. some of that thick enough for the shower. most missing the showers, brightening nicely in northern ireland and western scotland, but some of the showers across the highlands and grampian could be sharp and you may well hear the odd rumble of thunder. into the evening, the showers in scotland sink further south, we hang on to the cloud across eastern england with a few showers in east anglia and the south—east. clear skies for

the rest of england, wales and northern ireland and overnight lows between nine and 16 degrees. these are in towns and cities. if you are in a ruralarea, under clearskies and temperatures could fall away 27 or 8 degrees, so a bit for you. tomorrow we still have always cloud in scotland with a few showers in the west. still have this cloud in eastern england drifting in on the brisk breeze with some showers coming out of it. again, the sunniest, driest conditions for the longest period of time will be in the west, and still killed with a brisk wind coming in the north sea and also across the english channel. top temperatures around 2a or 25 degrees. wednesday is nippy to start within the highlands, temperatures falling overnight to 3 or [i within the highlands, temperatures falling overnight to 3 or 1! degrees. sunshine in the west, the east hang onto more cloud with the odd shower. brighterskies hang onto more cloud with the odd shower. brighter skies across southern england and south wales
