good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. pakistan says a third of the country is underwater as the un launches an appeal to help millions of people left homeless. ukrainian forces have launched a major offensive aimed at retaking parts of the south of the country occupied by russia. rising energy costs pile pressure on businesses. bosses say closures and job losses are inevitable within months, as they plead with the government for help. i'll be looking at the impact of rising prices. a good opening day for the british players at the us open, and for serena williams — who makes a winning start to her farewell in new york.

good morning. high pressure is firmly in charge of our weather so things are fairly settled. sunny spells, just a few showers, warm it tomorrow and an increased chance of rain for friday. all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 30th of august. the united nations will lead a global appeal today to help pakistan cope with the devastating floods which have left a third of the country under water — and killed more than 1,100 people. provinces like sindh and balochistan in the south are the worst affected — but mountainous regions in the north—west have also been badly hit. the crisis is not over yet — as heavy rain continues and water surges down the indus river. our reporter sean dilley has the latest details. in some parts of pakistan, it's been relentless. more than 33 million people have been affected by flooding in the country's heaviest rain

for more than a decade. this year's monsoon season has claimed well over 1,100 lives since june. more than 3,500 kilometres of road have been damaged, and over 993,000 homes, too. in the northern city of sukkur, a temporary retreat for families washed out of their homes. translation: our houses have j collapsed because of the floods. we had a home and it was enough for us. now all our belongings are buried under 12 to 13 feet of water. when i left with my children, i saw my house collapse. in other parts of the country, like the province of sindh in the southeast, some relief from the rain — but so much land is still submerged, forcing some families to dry ground wherever they can find it. the indus river has been overflowing for weeks. some here have travelled from far away, doing whatever they can to survive without basic necessities

such as clean water and food. this farmer and his family have been sleeping in an open field for a week. translation: even when the water recedes, all we will have _ are these branches. 0ur homes are gone. we have nothing. i was able to grow my own vegetables back home, and everything is gone now. i can't even feed my children. we need help. but the reality is that the country and its government is overwhelmed and besieged. aid agencies are struggling to cope. situation, unfortunately, unfolding is not good. people are desperate for international aid. and yesterday i was out with my team in kpk, district charsadda, where people were standing alongside the motorway — main motorway connecting with islamabad, capital city. they were desperate

for food, water, shelter. pakistan is used to heavy rainfall during monsoon season, but this year is already comparable to floods that claimed 2,000 lives in 2010. later, the united nations willjoin pakistan's government in appealing to aid agencies in the international community to help raise more than £135 million, to help more than five million of the most affected and vulnerable. the situation is desperate, though. the un says many rivers and dams are at flood levels now — and it expects the situation to get worse as rain continues to fall. sean dilley, bbc news. our pakistan correspondent pumza fihlani in the southern province of sindh. good morning. can you tell us what type of help is most urgently required there right now? the short answer is everything. _ required there right now? the short answer is everything. buy _ answer is everything. buy everything, people here have said

they need food, there are people who have not had access to clean drinking water for weeks. they need medication, people need tents, blankets, everything. one of the things we are seeing in all the places we have travelled through here in sindh is the sort of pictures, where when they talk about not having shelter, they have been able to collect plastic on the side of that road that has washed up by the floods and they have stitched it together to try to form some sort of covering. people left with what little belongings they could salvage. forsome little belongings they could salvage. for some it is a pillow or just a blanket or a part they hope to use later on. people's lives have been completely destroyed and they are asking for all sorts of whatever is possible to be shared, provided. pumza, thank you very much indeed. ukraine's military says its long—awaited offensive in the south of the country has begun — and that it has broken through russia's first line of defence. the southern port of kherson fell to russia in the early days of the invasion —

and is one of the largest ukrainian cities to be occupied. moscow has claimed the operation was a failure. our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. we have been waiting for something like this to happen for a few weeks now. just explain what we know because i'm guessing getting actual information out will be difficult. it's incredibly hard to verify what is happening there. for weeks the ukrainians have been attacking russian supply lines, infrastructure, deep inside russian —controlled territory, away from the front lines. this has only been possible because of that sophisticated weapons being provided by the west and there has been a lot of speculation about whether the ukrainians would go ahead with massive counter offensive, whether they have the capacity to launch this offensive. it is still not clear how big this operation is, how long it will at last, and it is

unlikely any operation will be easy. kherson has been under russian occupation since the beginning of the war and it is one of the largest ukrainian cities in russian hands. last night president zelensky did not speak specifically about the operation in the region, he said ukrainian forces were re—taking this country's territory, but he had a message for russian forces. if you want to fully. message for russian forces. if you want to fully-— message for russian forces. if you want to fully. hugo, thank you very much. a murder investigation is under way after a 21—year—old man was stabbed at the notting hill carnival. the metropolitan police said the atmosphere over the past two days was "largely positive" but yesterday evening saw a spate of violent incidents, including the fatal stabbing in the ladbroke grove area. at around 8pm, officers became aware of a stabbing in ladbroke grove. officers provided emergency first aid to the victim, until the arrival of london ambulance service paramedics.

they were able to extract him through significant crowds in challenging circumstances to a waiting ambulance. he was taken to a west london hospital, where — despite the best efforts of medical staff — he was pronounced dead. the cost—of—living crisis continues to dominate the race to become the next leader of the conservative party — which has one week to run. meanwhile, the chancellor nadhim zahawi is travelling to the united states to look for solutions to the crisis by speaking to bankers and officials there. our political correspondent iain watson is in westminster. iain, some eyebrows being raised about the chancellor's decision to head to washington. what is he helping to achieve? he head to washington. what is he helping to achieve?— head to washington. what is he helping to achieve? he says you need international— helping to achieve? he says you need international solutions _ helping to achieve? he says you need international solutions to _ helping to achieve? he says you need international solutions to the - international solutions to the cost—of—living crisis. it is not just about short—term help but

long—term solutions. he is talking to us treasury officials in washington that is tomorrow. tomorrow he is speaking to bankers in new york. this may be his last day as chancellor because next week we have a new chancellor in place and that any premise in place and he or she is likely to be choosing a new cabinet. they then are not particularly impressed by his reasoning. they say he is on a junket at taxpayers expense and he should be listening to people on this country rather than going to the us. you would expect that to attract some political criticism but people close to the chancellor would say also that he has been working on potential solutions to the cost—of—living crisis which he will then make available to the incoming government, the new prime minister next week. this is not instead of doing that, it is alongside it. there has been criticism of the leadership candidates. liz truss should be appearing on a bbc interview this evening but yesterday

she pulled out, have imperiously agreed to do it. apparently she has no time to do it so both labour and rishi sunak�*s camp i think she is trying to avoid scrutiny but she will be taking part in a final hustings event taking questions directly from conservative party members. �* . ~ directly from conservative party members-_ directly from conservative party members. �* . ~ ~ ., members. and in a week we will know who has been — members. and in a week we will know who has been chosen _ members. and in a week we will know who has been chosen by _ members. and in a week we will know who has been chosen by those - who has been chosen by those members. iain, now, thank you very much indeed. merseyside police says its hunt for the murderer of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel is "relentless". olivia was shot dead a week ago, when a complete stranger barged into her house in liverpool as he was being chased by a gunman — who then continued firing into the property. breakfast'sjohn maguire is in liverpool. good morning. we can see the floral tributes just behind but what stage is the police investigation at this morning?

is the police investigation at this mornin: ? . ~ is the police investigation at this mornin: ? ., ~ ., is the police investigation at this morninu? . ~ . , morning? talk to people in the city here and they _ morning? talk to people in the city here and they say _ morning? talk to people in the city here and they say they _ morning? talk to people in the city here and they say they are - morning? talk to people in the city i here and they say they are genuinely surprised, shocked, really, that there hasn't been a major breakthrough in the case. it has now been seven days since olivia was shot, seven days of intense police activity, notjust here but also through the detective force, trying to establish exactly what happened here just over a week ago. seven days that a family, a grieving family, have been without their nine—year—old daughter. liv, as the family called her. remember that very emotional, poignant tribute last week on friday after the pictures that have been released affair. they described her as a unique, chatty, nosy little girl who broke the mould when she was born, but family went on to say it is now about who took our baby away from us. we still don't know, the police have made several investigations taking place. three people died who

have been shot in recent days. police say they have made hundreds of arrests but as yet no significant breakthrough. one of the other things the family said was nuts about being a grass or s&h but that people should come forward that is what the police have been repeating. they say silence is not an option, appealing to the community in the city. confidence that somebody knows exactly what happened here just over a week ago and, as you say, relentless, they say their drive is in trying to find out who is responsible, ultimately than bringing them to justice. bringing them to 'ustice. john, thankyouh bringing them to 'ustice. john, thankyouvery_ bringing them to justice. john, thank you very much _ bringing them to justice. john, thank you very much indeed. l thank you very much indeed. it was rather disappointing in the end, yesterday at lunchtime, the launch of the rocket, supposed to be heading to the moon but it had to be cancelled, postponed for safety checks. nasa chiefs say they hope to launch artemis i later this week after yesterday's blast—off was postponed. the unmanned flight will orbit the moon —

in preparation for putting humans on the lunar surface for the first time in 50 years. our science editor rebecca morelle has been following developments at the kennedy space center in florida. the moment the artemis launch was cancelled. launch director charlie blackwell—thompson has called a scrub. the problem — one of the rocket�*s engines wasn't cooling properly, and there was no way it could safely lift off. this is a brand—new rocket. it's not going to fly until it's ready. there are millions of components of this rocket and its systems. and, needless to say, the complexity is daunting when you bring it all into the focus of a countdown. they came so close — the countdown stopping at t—minus a0 minutes. there were just too many technical problems to contend with. you have to remember, though, that this is a new rocket — it hasn't really been put

through its paces — so it's no surprise the engineers were being extra cautious. the plan is for the rocket to push a capsule called orion into orbit around the moon before it returns to earth with a splashdown. if the maiden flight is a success, the next time astronauts will come along for the ride. but they're not surprised by the delays. this is the first time we've taken the count anywhere close to zero. we've done tests to put propellant in the tanks, but we haven't tried to take it all the way to flight yet. so there are many, many opportunities for new things to crop up. this is a test flight. we're doing the test. we won't go till we're ready, but i really hope we're ready. data from the rocket is now being pored over, to find out exactly what went wrong. a complicated problem could set a launch back by weeks or even months. but there's hope an easier fix might be found — which would mean a delay ofjust a few days.

we're going to do our best to see where the data leads us, and if we can resolve this operationally on the pad, there won't be any need for that. and if we can resolve this operationally out at the pad in the next 48 hours, 72 hours, friday is definitely in play. one things for certain — the artemis team wants this rocket to fly. the only question is — when? rebecca morrell, bbc news, at the kennedy space center in florida. it's like when your car failed the mot and you really need to use it. we thought yesterday the weather might end up being the problem but it wasn't. . , , it wasn't. friday, everything crossed for _ it wasn't. friday, everything crossed for friday _ it wasn't. friday, everything crossed for friday and - it wasn't. friday, everything crossed for friday and then | it wasn't. friday, everything| crossed for friday and then i it wasn't. friday, everything - crossed for friday and then i think it goes into september and may be october but they are determined it will happen. october but they are determined it will happen-— october but they are determined it will haen. . , .,~ ., will happen. eventually. speaking of the weather. — will happen. eventually. speaking of the weather, let's _ will happen. eventually. speaking of the weather, let's go _ will happen. eventually. speaking of the weather, let's go to _ will happen. eventually. speaking of the weather, let's go to carol. - good morning. good morning. good mornin: good morning. good morning. good morning to —

the paper reports that some headteachers are struggling to pay their energy and wage bills. the metro focuses on a warning from brewery bosses that thousands of pubs could shut forever unless the government steps in to help them cope with rocketing fuel bills. ben will have more on that story in the next half hour, he has been looking into that us for us. the times reports that tory leadership frontrunner, liz truss, plans to quickly approve a series of oil and gas drilling licences in the north sea, if she's elected next week. and the daily mail carries quotes from a magazine interview with the duchess of sussex, in which she appeared to suggest prince harry had told her he had "lost" his father prince charles, following their split from the royal family. it is interesting, this, isn't it? she later clarified she was referring to her own estranged father, and the toxic tabloid culture that surrounded their relationship.

but needless to say that is getting an awful lot of coverage and analysis right through the papers this morning. fin analysis right through the papers this morning-— analysis right through the papers this morning. on a lot of different “aes, this morning. on a lot of different pages. various — this morning. on a lot of different pages, various quotes _ this morning. on a lot of different pages, various quotes from - this morning. on a lot of different i pages, various quotes from different sources. some from the actual interview. as soon as one of them gets an interview, every single quote is analysed very closely. looking for a new house, may be? if you are looking for a new house on rightmove. let's have a look at rightmove. let's have a look at rightmove and see what they are advertising. the house in leicestershire which has a camel in the back garden! i leicestershire which has a camel in the back garden!— the back garden! i don't think an one the back garden! i don't think anyone is _ the back garden! i don't think anyone is talking _ the back garden! i don't think anyone is talking about - the back garden! i don't think anyone is talking about the i the back garden! i don't think i anyone is talking about the back garden. i anyone is talking about the back carden. �* , ., ., , , garden. i didn't see what happened. there is something _ garden. i didn't see what happened. there is something on _ garden. i didn't see what happened. there is something on the _ garden. i didn't see what happened. there is something on the other- there is something on the other page. never mind, just carry on. did page. never mind, 'ust carry on. did that page. never mind, just carry on. d c that distract everyone? page. never mind, just carry on. did that distract everyone? it _ that distract everyone? it distracted me! this -

with sewerage pipes unable to cope, raw sewage is sometimes discharged into the sea. sos whitstable is a campaign group formed in response. lots of people reporting to us that they've been sick from swimming — so ear infections, ear infections, so ear infections, eye infections, and kind of bacterial infections resulting in sickness and diarrhoea. whitstable as a town, which is famous for its fish and its oysters, has suffered huge reputational and physical damage as a result of this saga. it is massively impacting the tourism, the hospitality, the fishing industries. it's not acceptable. sewage being discharged into the sea in sussex this month. around 50 beaches across england and wales have been given pollution warnings in august. it was just absolutely vile, wasn't it? gross. rebecca and alexa say the pollution monitoring apps and websites they checked gave them the all—clear before they went paddleboarding recently in whitstable.

ijust thought, "oh, my goodness, that is raw sewage there, and my feet are in there." all the boards have been in it. i could see toilet paper, baby wipes, and there was just this kind of layer on the beach. so why is raw sewage sometimes discharged into the sea? well, most of the uk has a combined sewerage system, which means that rainwater and waste water from toilets and bathrooms travels along the same pipes to sewage treatment works. but if it's been raining heavily, those pipes can be overwhelmed, potentially flooding treatment plants, roads — even people's homes. so to stop that happening, in exceptional circumstances, water companies can legally discharge raw sewage into rivers and the sea. but the circumstances have to be exceptional — otherwise water companies might be breaking the law. in july last year, southern water was fined a record £90 million for illegally dumping billions of litres of untreated sewage

into the sea in hampshire, west sussex and kent. this separate incident was filmed in langstone harbour in hampshire in october of last year. thames water has been fined more than £30 million since 2017 for illegal sewage discharge. filmed by campaigners last winter, this seems to show raw sewage being released into the river thames. it's not clear whether this was an illegal discharge or not. given the option, though, of potentially flooding people's homes with raw sewage, or releasing that raw sewage into the sea — it's going to be the sea, isn't it? presently, the system is completely overwhelmed — that is correct, yes — and that's due to a lack of investment in the infrastructure since privatisation over 30 years ago. on friday, the government published a plan to tackle the problem in england. water companies will need to invest £56 billion over 25 years on infrastructure. by 2035, all storm overflows which discharge water into bathing areas will need to be improved. the environmental audit select

committee assesses the impact of government policies on the environment. well, i welcome this plan — i mean, it's going to be increasing the capital investment by water companies into sorting out the treatment of our waste water by more than double over the next 25 years. and that in itself was double the level that it was in the decade prior to privatisation. so i think it does show a significant commitment by the government to try to tackle this problem. sos whitstable says the government's plan is woefully inadequate — a huge failure which doesn't hold water companies to account. it wants the industry to be renationalised. in a statement, southern water said the discharges it sometimes releases into the sea were heavily diluted — typically being 95% rainwater. it was done to protect homes, schools and businesses from flooding. the appeal of sea swimming is strong enough for this group

to continue for now — but without rapid improvement on pollution, some say it'll no longer be worth the risk. tim muffett, bbc news whitstable in kent. it is really not pleasant, that, is it? it it is really not pleasant, that, is it? , ., , ., it is really not pleasant, that, is it? ,., it? it is not. it is a story we will kee a it? it is not. it is a story we will keep a cross — it? it is not. it is a story we will keep a cross in _ it? it is not. it is a story we will keep a cross in the _ it? it is not. it is a story we will keep a cross in the weeks - it? it is not. it is a story we will. keep a cross in the weeks ahead. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. the first notting hill carnival since 2019 has ended with a man being stabbed to death. it happened under the westway flyover in ladbroke grove at around eight o'clock. police are urging anyone with information to come forward. despite this the met said it was a largely positive event. it comes as the mayor paid tribute to the emergency services for their work. transport for london's board will hold an emergency meeting later to discuss the government's long

term funding deal. they've been in discussion for the past month over the £3.6 billion package. transport bosses have warned of cuts to services without a settlement, so far it's received more than £5 billion in bailouts from the government after falling into financial trouble during the pandemic. a 23—year—old man remains in hospital a week after a car crashed through on the a40 and ended up on the piccadilly line. an inquest into the death of a 32—year—old woman who died in the crash in park royal will be held later this week. it's now ten years since the london paralympics and some of those who took part have been looking back on the event and how much has changed. sophie christiansen took three gold medals at the event and is now one of our most successful paralympians. she says the games helped to change perceptions. but a decade on there are still big challenges for disabled people especially when it comes to getting around. london 2012 really showcased

what disabled people could do. what do you think of the legacy? you know, the reality living with a disability is so tough still. we've got a long way to go. travel now and this is how tfl services are looking. there are severe delays overground between liverpool street and enfield town, cheshunt, chingford. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's another reasonably mild start this morning. there's less cloud around, however, so a bright start with some sunshine. high pressure still to the north of the uk. but around the outside we've got this northeasterly breeze and it's fairly keen as well. so it's blowing in some cloud. the risk there today of one or two isolated light showers, but still some spells of sunshine and temperatures still reasonably warm. 23 celsius, the maximum. now into this evening and overnight, the cloud breaks up again. so we should get some late evening sunshine. but you'll notice the isobars still fairly close together.

so we've still got that breeze overnight preventing any mist and fog. a bright start on wednesday morning. plenty of sunshine around. still have that breeze tomorrow so we could see one or two isolated showers. but it's largely dry on wednesday and in that sunshine, perhaps feeling a little bit warmer with a maximum of around 24 celsius. now, the high pressure stays with us for thursday, but things start to change as we head towards the end of the week. seeing the feature coming up from the continent could bring some spells of rain on friday, and it turns progressively more unsettled as we head through the weekend. and we could see a bit more rain through sunday and through monday. that's it, but there's lots more on our website, including the story of the student fighting for better access at her university. i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on today's show. we'll be catching up with ami mclennan, who won a legal

battle to get a life—saving transplant operation for her teenage son william after doctors had said his autism made the procedure too risky. we'll be speaking to beryl carr, who is being recognised for her work as a hospital cafe volunteer at the grand age of 100. bless me, father, for i have sinned. and i'm about to sin again. dance another day. michael flatley of riverdance fame will be here to tell us about his movie debut in which he plays a retired secret agent. the united nations will issue a global appeal today to raise $160 million us, that's around £136 million, to help pakistan deal with its devastating floods. around a third of the country is now under water and more than 1,100 people have died.

yens laerke is from the un's humanitarian office in geneva and joins us now. good morning, thank you for talking to us today. tell us about the appeal that united nations is announcing today.— appeal that united nations is announcing today. good morning, sall . in announcing today. good morning, sally- in a — announcing today. good morning, sally- in a few— announcing today. good morning, sally. in a few hours _ announcing today. good morning, sally. in a few hours we _ announcing today. good morning, sally. in a few hours we are - announcing today. good morning, sally. in a few hours we are goingj sally. in a few hours we are going to launch here from geneva and simultaneously in islamabad in pakistan our humanitarian appeal for $160 million. that is to help over 5 million of those people who are worst affected by this historic flood. we haven't seen anything like this for decades. but we need now is to get the life—saving response up in the air, some response is already going, but now is the time for international solidarity to kick in. we certainly hope to hear some of

that today, so that we can get this six response plan up and running. == six response plan up and running. —— six—month response plan. in terms of people who are there who are seeking shelter, what they need right now? we have seen these devastating pictures of people wading around in water, people in villages who are being stuck you cannot get out, we have difficulty reaching them, they are in thousands of roads who have been washed away, bridges have been brought down and so on. top priority right now is first of all a help response, because we have already seen waterborne diseases in these affected areas, we know there is cholera, we need to contain that. we also need to get food to people and we need to ensure that they have a place to sleep. bud

we need to ensure that they have a place to sleep-— place to sleep. and in terms of the staff that you _ place to sleep. and in terms of the staff that you might _ place to sleep. and in terms of the staff that you might have - place to sleep. and in terms of the staff that you might have on - place to sleep. and in terms of the staff that you might have on the i staff that you might have on the ground, how difficult is it in terms of communication at the moment? it is quite challenging of course, a disaster of this magnitude simply rips out a lot of the infrastructure of the country. so a main priority for us now is to see how we can help how we can the government of pakistan with all of our partners, the ngos were already there and who have been there because we have quite a large presence in pakistan. what we can do to help them to reach those people who are desperate and they need our help today. we those people who are desperate and they need our help today.— they need our help today. we know that one third _ they need our help today. we know that one third of— they need our help today. we know that one third of the _ they need our help today. we know that one third of the country - they need our help today. we know that one third of the country is - they need our help today. we know that one third of the country is nowj that one third of the country is now under water. that one third of the country is now underwater. do that one third of the country is now under water. do you have any idea when the flood waters might start to recede, might this simply get worse? well, mind you, the forecasts right now is a more heavy rain is coming

and so we're bracing to the west. we have already seen about 33 million people affected, and that's a huge part of the entire population of pakistan, particularly in sindh. if there is more to come that will put more pressure on the response to get out as quickly as we can to people. yens laerke from the un humanitarian office, thank you.— yens laerke from the un humanitarian office, thank you._ we - office, thank you. thank you. we will speak— office, thank you. thank you. we will speak to _ office, thank you. thank you. we will speak to the _ office, thank you. thank you. we will speak to the boxer _ office, thank you. thank you. we will speak to the boxer amir - office, thank you. thank you. we| will speak to the boxer amir khan who has family in pakistan and he, having seen the devastation of the previous floods ten years ago, wants to lend his support to the latest appeal. to lend his support to the latest a- eal. �* , to lend his support to the latest a. eal, �* , , ., to lend his support to the latest aueal. �*, , . ., to lend his support to the latest anneal. , appeal. let's start with a superstar with the support. _ appeal. let's start with a superstar with the support. serena _ appeal. let's start with a superstar with the support. serena williams, what more can _ with the support. serena williams, what more can you _ with the support. serena williams, what more can you say? _ with the support. serena williams, what more can you say? waving i with the support. serena williams, what more can you say? waving to j with the support. serena williams, - what more can you say? waving to the ground, not saying goodbyejust what more can you say? waving to the ground, not saying goodbye just yet, this farewell will continue in new

cerundolo showed a touch of class, confessing that this ball bounced twice before he reached it. murray had to keep his cool to come through a tight first set, and from there life became easier, even if it didn't feel like it. that felt like five sets to me. it's very, very tricky conditions today, very humid and hot. but, yeah, i was really happy with the way i got through that one. at the top of the screen, that's another brit, harriet dart, who pulled off the performance of her life to shock the tenth seed daria kasatkina and herself. while the rapidly rising jack draper joined them in round two with a straight sets win. you only had to look at today's programme to see there really is only one story in town, and that's around serena williams's decision to make this her final tournament. the 23 time grand slam tournament champion is who many of these fans are here to see. doesn't give up, enthusiastic,

and she just goes for what she wants and i love that about her. amazing player, the best female player ever of all time. i think that she's superl great and i'm really sad that she's retiring. the greatest of all time, serena williams. if this was to be her swansong, she made sure it was going to be sparkling. diamonds in her hair, the same beads she wore back in 1999 donned by her daughter. emotions were running high as every point was greeted like it was her last. by a star—studded crowd that included a president, a pooch, and martina navratilova sitting next to mike tyson. while danka kovinic, the world number 80, struggled to find support and her serve. serena's fans weren't ready for this to be the end. clearly, neither was she.

i think when you're passionate about something and you love something so much, it's always hard to walk away. sometimes i think it's harder to walk away than to not, and that's been the case for me so i've been trying to decide for a little while what to do. she's not walking awayjust yet, no, she's twirling her way to the second round. laura scott, bbc news, new york. she has got the doubles to come as well, the ultimate sister act with venus williams, later this week. the reigning us open champion emma raducanu begins the defence of her title tonight. she's seeded 11th at flushing meadows and at midnight uk time she takes on france's alize cornet, who knocked the world number one iga swiatek out of wimbledon earlier this summer. a tough opening match. raducanu's had a challenging year with injuries and fitness concerns since that fairy tale win in new york, but says she's learnt a lot.

i think qualifying is viewed as a good thing, i don't i'm really happy with what i've done this year and how i have come out of certain situations. i have obviously got amazing memories in new york, it has got to be up there as one is my favourite tournaments. i'm just happy to be back in the city as well. away from the tennis, in super league, st helens have clinched the league leaders' shield despite losing to wakefield after wigan were beaten by hull kr. salford meanwhile secured a place in the play—offs with a crushing 50—10 win at castleford, running in eight tries. elsewhere, there were wins for huddersfield and catalans dragons. the trent rockets are through to the knockout stages of the men's hundred after a 29—win over welsh fire. dawid malan's 58 propelled the rockets to 172 for four off their 100 balls at trent bridge. and they never looked like losing, the fire only managed to reach 143 for six, finishing their season with eight defeats from eight. earlier, rockets beat fire in the women's match

to keep their knockout hopes alive. finally, you're never too old to show off some nifty dance moves — as proven by a couple who showed off their skills before tossing the ceremonial pitch for the miami marlins—la dodgers game. the couple, who are both in their 70s, are well known in the united states for appearing on america's got talent a few years ago, and certainly proved that they've still got it last night. i think that's what i'm going to have to do at a round about midnight tonight having had one hour of sleep last night, watching emma raducanu, it keeps you going. last night, watching emma raducanu, it keeps you going-— it keeps you going. dancing or sleeping? _ it keeps you going. dancing or sleeping? dancing, _ it keeps you going. dancing or sleeping? dancing, definitely. j it keeps you going. dancing or| sleeping? dancing, definitely. i will not be _ sleeping? dancing, definitely. i will not be demonstrating. - sleeping? dancing, definitely. i will not be demonstrating. you| sleeping? dancing, definitely. i- will not be demonstrating. you will want to. everybody _ will not be demonstrating. you will want to. everybody on _ will not be demonstrating. you will want to. everybody on this - will not be demonstrating. you will want to. everybody on this sofa - will not be demonstrating. you will| want to. everybody on this sofa has to doubt at one point, it's compulsory. to doubt at one point, it's compulsory-— to doubt at one point, it's comulso . . . to doubt at one point, it's comulso. . . compulsory. have you checked your contract? so. _ compulsory. have you checked your contract? so, emma _ compulsory. have you checked your contract? so, emma tonight? -

they're warning of pub closures and job losses within months without immediate government intervention. one recent survey of smaller independent pub owners says 70% don't expect to survive the winter months without help. so what would that help be? mainly, the british beer and pub association wants a cap to be introduced on commercial energy bills. it's previously called for a cut in vat similar to the support package offered to pubs during the pandemic. i've been finding out more about the impact of rising costs on businesses. at simon's pub in essex, the fear is setting in. his yearly bill used to be around £13,000. from this winter, he'll be paying 35,000 a year. we really need to take about another £800 a week to be in the same position on the 9th october this year as we are on the 8th of october. it really is that bad.

andrew has been running this bar in london forfour years. having made it through the pandemic, the continuing rise in costs means he'll soon have to make some tough decisions. we are absorbing a lot of the increases that we have seen, but, you know, there will be come a time where we will start to have to start passing this on to the customer. it is incredibly concerning. you know, this site has 15 full—time members of staff, we don't want to lose any of those. they've been with us for a while. so, you know, it's always in the back of the mind. we grow loads of stuff here. we've got carrots, beetroot, our own fruit. unlike homes, businesses aren't protected by an energy price cap. and it's notjust pubs feeling the squeeze. further back here we've got more stuff, we do a lot of baking, on—site baking. we have our own cattle, sheep, pigs that we use as well to make lots of pies and stuff like that. and then if you can't

be bothered to cook it or buy it to take it home, we've got a restaurant with everything in for people to eat as well. at this farm shop in leicestershire, electricity bills are to soar from £17,000 to almost 76,000 a year. businesses are going to go bankrupt. this is a £50,000 increase on the costs we've got. we can't afford it. you know, long term, it could be catastrophic for a lot of businesses, not just ours. it's an impossible situation to deal with, unless we get help. but unfortunately our politicians are all on holiday. the government says no new policy will be announced until the new prime minister is in place but that it will continue to support businesses through the winter. it really is the perfect storm, isn't it, costs going up and people don't have money to spend? this is the thin , don't have money to spend? this is the thing. at _ don't have money to spend? this is the thing. at the — don't have money to spend? this is the thing, at the moment _ don't have money to spend? this is the thing, at the moment you - don't have money to spend? this is| the thing, at the moment you might think that if businesses, pubs, farm shops and cadres are facing higher energy bills, the obvious thing is to get more people through the door spending money but of course we all

know we are feeling the squeeze, people have less to spend. what might have been a throwaway decision, let's go to the pub this evening, it mightjust be, people want to do it and they want to support their pub but they don't have the disposable income to go and do that. less money coming in at a time when the costs are going up so they are warning of potentially closures and job losses and that is a worry for communities as well. say a worry for communities as well. say a pub closes, not only are the people who work there are affected, they lose their jobs at people who work there are affected, they lose theirjobs at a time when they lose theirjobs at a time when they are relying on the income to pay their high energy bills at home, you have got the suppliers and some might be local businesses, if their local pubs stop buying because it isn't working, again, it takes money and jobs out of the community. when we talk about a decline and a vicious cycle, and how quickly things escalate when we end up in these economic situations, that is why the ripple effects end up being felt so far and wide and quite quickly. 50 felt so far and wide and quite i uickl . ., , felt so far and wide and quite ruickl. ., , , ,, felt so far and wide and quite ruickl. . , , ,, felt so far and wide and quite

good morning, thank you! as we go to the next few days, high pressure is in charge. but until we get to the end of the week to the end of the week do we see a real change in weather when the low pressure takes over. it will be mostly dry, warm tomorrow and on friday we start to see some rain coming our way, some of us if not all of us will have some rain through the weekend. here is the high pressure, the air is moving in a clockwise direction and meaning in the next few days, and on the north sea coastline and through the north sea coastline and through the english channel, there will be a brisk wind taking the edge of the temperatures. that winter we noticeable. this morning we start with some low cloud with some drizzle which will break up, some showers in east anglia and the south—east, some of those will be blown inland on the breeze as we go through the day. it's not terribly strong, these are the average wind speeds. it means it will feel cooler along the north sea coastline.

we were looking forward to a big space launch yesterday as nasa was preparing to blast off its most powerful ever rocket. that is the man behind us in case you didn't realise! —— that is the moon behind us! sadly the unmanned mission to orbit the moon didn't happen, because of a technical fault. drjenifer millard is an astronomer. shejoins us from barry in south wales. can you explain in layman stamps what happened yesterday? fir can you explain in layman stamps what happened yesterday? or were a few problems — what happened yesterday? or were a few problems which _ what happened yesterday? or were a few problems which led _ what happened yesterday? or were a few problems which led up _ what happened yesterday? or were a few problems which led up to - what happened yesterday? or were a few problems which led up to the - few problems which led up to the final problem which canned the whole launch _ final problem which canned the whole launch the _ final problem which canned the whole launch. the most worrying one was when _ launch. the most worrying one was when we _ launch. the most worrying one was when we heard the word crack. that's not what _ when we heard the word crack. that's not what you — when we heard the word crack. that's not what you want to hear on launch day, and _ not what you want to hear on launch day, and they were worried about a crack— day, and they were worried about a crack in _ day, and they were worried about a crack in the — day, and they were worried about a crack in the inter—tank flange, a cylinder— crack in the inter—tank flange, a cylinder which connects liquid oxygen— cylinder which connects liquid oxygen to liquid hydrogen which is how we _ oxygen to liquid hydrogen which is how we burn fuel. that was just in the foam — how we burn fuel. that was just in the foam so — how we burn fuel. that was just in the foam so that was fine, it was

it happened under the westway flyover in ladbroke grove at around 8:00. police are urging anyone with information to come forward. despite this, the met said the weekend was largely positive. it comes as the mayor paid tribute to the emergency services for their work. transport for london's board will hold an emergency meeting later to discuss the government's long—term funding deal. they've been in discussion for the past month over the £3.6 billion package. transport bosses have warned of cuts to services without a settlement. so far it's received more than five billion in bailouts from the government, after falling into financial trouble during the pandemic. a 23—year—old man remains in hospital a week after a car crashed in west london and ended up on a tube line. an inquest into the death of a 32—year—old woman who died in the accident in park royal will be held later this week. it's now ten years since the london paralympics, and some of those who took part have been looking back on the event

and how much has changed. sophie christiansen took three gold medals at the event,, and is now one of our most successful paralympians. she says the games helped to change perceptions. but a decade on there are still big challenges for disabled people — especially when it comes to getting around. travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking. there's no service between victoria and brixton on the victoria line. there are severe delays on the overground between liverpool street and enfield town. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's another reasonably mild start this morning. there's less cloud around, however, so a bright start with some sunshine. high pressure still to the north of the uk.

but around the outside we've got this northeasterly breeze and it's fairly keen as well. so it's blowing in some cloud. the risk there today of one or two isolated light showers, but still some spells of sunshine and temperatures still reasonably warm. 23 celsius, the maximum. now into this evening and overnight, the cloud breaks up again. so we should get some late evening sunshine. but you'll notice the isobars still fairly close together. so we've still got that breeze overnight preventing any mist and fog. a bright start on wednesday morning. plenty of sunshine around. still have that breeze tomorrow so we could see one or two isolated showers. but it's largely dry on wednesday and in that sunshine, perhaps feeling a little bit warmer with a maximum of around 24 celsius. now, the high pressure stays with us for thursday, but things start to change as we head towards the end of the week. seeing the feature coming up from the continent could bring some spells of rain on friday, and it turns progressively more unsettled as we head through the weekend. and we could see a bit more rain through sunday and through monday. that's it, but there's lots more on our website —

including the story of the student fighting for better access at her university. i'm back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. pakistan says a third of the country is underwater as the un launches an appeal to help millions of people left homeless. ukrainian forces have launched a major offensive aimed at retaking parts of the south of the country occupied by russia.

police launch a murder investigation after a 21—year—old man was stabbed to death at the notting hill carnival. a good opening day for the british players at the us open. and for serena williams — who makes a winning start to her farewell in new york. from lord of the dance to star of the screen — michael flatley will be here to tell us about the film he's written, directed, and acted in himself. good morning. the weatherfor the next few days will be fairly settled. some sunshine, variable amounts of cloud and a few showers. tomorrow will be a bit warmer and it looks like we will see rain as we head towards the end of the week. all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 30th of august. our main story. the united nations will lead a global appeal today to help pakistan cope with the devastating floods which have left a third of the country under water —

and killed more than 1,100 people. provinces like sindh and balochistan in the south are the worst affected — but mountainous regions in the north—west have also been badly hit. the crisis is not over yet — as heavy rain continues and water surges down the indus river. our reporter sean dilley has the latest details. in some parts of pakistan, it's been relentless. more than 33 million people have been affected by flooding in the country's heaviest rain for more than a decade. this year's monsoon season has claimed well over 1,100 lives since june. more than 3,500 kilometres of road have been damaged, and over 993,000 homes, too. in the northern city of sukkur, temporary retreat for families washed out of their homes. translation: our houses have j collapsed because of the floods. we had a home and it was enough for us. now all our belongings are buried

under 12 to 13 feet of water. when i left with my children, i saw my house collapse. in other parts of the country, like the province of sindh in the southeast, some relief from the rain — but so much land is still submerged, forcing some families to dry ground wherever they can find it. the indus river has been overflowing for weeks. this farmer and his family have been sleeping in an open field for a week. translation: even when the water recedes, all we will have _ are these branches. 0ur homes are gone. we have nothing. i was able to grow my own vegetables back home, and everything is gone now. i can't even feed my children. we need help. but the reality is that the country and its government is overwhelmed and besieged. aid agencies are struggling to cope. situation, unfortunately, unfolding is not good.

people are desperate for international aid. and yesterday i was out with my team in kpk, district charsadda, where people were standing alongside the motorway — main motorway connecting with islamabad, capital city. they were desperate for food, water, shelter. later, the united nations willjoin pakistan's government in appealing to aid agencies in the international community to help raise more than £135 million, to help more than five million of the most affected and vulnerable. the situation is desperate, though. the un says many rivers and dams are at flood levels now — and it expects the situation to get worse as rain continues to fall. sean dilley, bbc news. ukraine's military says its long—awaited offensive in the south of the country has begun — and that it has broken through russia's first line of defence. the southern port of kherson fell to russia in the early days of the invasion — and is one of the largest ukrainian cities to be occupied. moscow has claimed the operation was a failure.

largest ukrainian cities in russian hands. the russians have confirmed the ukrainian push in this area but they say this operation has failed miserably. last night president zelensky didn't speak specifically about this operation, but he said ukrainians were taking back ukrainians were taking back ukrainian territory and he also had a message for russian soldiers, saying, if you want to survive, it is time to flee.— very much. a murder investigation is under way after a 21—year—old man was stabbed at the notting hill carnival. it happened in the ladbroke grove area. our reporter sean coughlan is there. sean, what more can you tell us? we know that at about 8pm yesterday police were alerted to a fatal stabbing. at the time the carnival is taking place and there was difficulty to get through but we know a 21 man sadly died and this

the problem — one of the rocket�*s engines wasn't cooling properly, and there was no way it could safely lift off. this is a brand—new rocket. it's not going to fly until it's ready. there are millions of components of this rocket and its systems. and, needless to say, the complexity is daunting when you bring it all into the focus of a countdown. they came so close — the countdown stopping at t—minus 40 minutes. there were just too many technical problems to contend with. you have to remember, though, that this is a new rocket — it hasn't really been put through its paces — so it's no surprise the engineers were being extra cautious. the plan is for the rocket to push a capsule called orion into orbit

around the moon before it returns to earth with a splashdown. if the maiden flight is a success, the next time astronauts will come along for the ride. but they're not surprised by the delays. this is the first time we've taken the count anywhere close to zero. we've done tests to put propellant in the tanks, but we haven't tried to take it all the way to flight yet. so there are many, many opportunities for new things to crop up. this is a test flight. we're doing the test. we won't go till we're ready, but i really hope we're ready. data from the rocket is now being pored over, to find out exactly what went wrong. a complicated problem could set a launch back by weeks or even months. but there's hope an easier fix might be found — which would mean a delay ofjust a few days. we're going to do our best to see where the data leads us, and if we can resolve this operationally out at the pad, there won't be any need for that. and if we can resolve this operationally out at the pad in the next 48 hours, 72 hours, friday is

definitely in play. one things for certain — the artemis team wants this rocket to fly. the only question is — when? rebecca morrell, bbc news, at the kennedy space center in florida. it will happen! it will happen! sooner or later.— it will happen! it will happen! sooner or later.- may | it will happen! it will happen! i sooner or later.- may be sooner or later. friday. may be frida , sooner or later. friday. may be friday. maybe _ sooner or later. friday. may be friday, maybe next _ sooner or later. friday. may be friday, maybe next month, i sooner or later. friday. may be friday, maybe next month, but sooner or later. friday. may be i friday, maybe next month, but it will happen. friday, maybe next month, but it will happen-— will happen. let's go to carol in front of the _ will happen. let's go to carol in front of the most _ will happen. let's go to carol in front of the most beautiful- will happen. let's go to carol in i front of the most beautiful picture this morning. front of the most beautiful picture this morning-— this morning. good morning. it is absolutely. _ this morning. good morning. it is absolutely, one _ this morning. good morning. it is absolutely, one of— this morning. good morning. it is absolutely, one of our— this morning. good morning. it is absolutely, one of our weather. absolutely, one of our weather watches — absolutely, one of our weather watches pictures, taken earlier this morning _ watches pictures, taken earlier this morning in— watches pictures, taken earlier this morning in northamptonshire. beautiful start to the day. there is a club _ beautiful start to the day. there is a club this— beautiful start to the day. there is a club this morning, notably across scotland _ a club this morning, notably across scotland. this is low cloud in places— scotland. this is low cloud in places and is producing some drizzle — places and is producing some drizzle. that should break up through— drizzle. that should break up through the day. western scotland seeing _ through the day. western scotland seeing some sunshine, northern ireland _ seeing some sunshine, northern ireland has some high clouds of a bright _ ireland has some high clouds of a bright start, and after the club this morning across northern

firmly back on the table. the uk government wants a new generation of nuclear power stations but the big question remains — what to do with the lethal waste it creates. in sweden, they've spent decades looking at ways of burying it deep underground forever. our reporter theo leggett went to find out more. in these deep, clear pools, high—level waste from nuclear reactors is being cooled. it's lethally radioactive, and it'll remain dangerous for 100,000 years. here in sweden, the authorities have spent decades searching for ways to deal with it permanently. the answers may lie far beneath these innocent—looking farm buildings out in the countryside. hundreds of metres underground is a giant laboratory, where techniques for keeping waste secure for millennia are being put to the test. well, this is what a final resting place for nuclear waste might actually look like. this is a dummy repository, and behind that wall, actual canisters that would contain nuclear waste have been buried for the past 20 years.

they'll soon be excavated and the idea is that scientists will look at them and find out what techniques have worked and which ones haven't. it's called geological disposal, and sweden's experiments are being closely watched by other countries — including the uk, which is planning a similar approach. deep underground, at a depth of 200 to 1,000 metres, our geology has remained stable in the uk for periods of millions of years, so we can be confident that placing the radioactive waste into a stable geology with the appropriate engineering will give us the containment, the isolation we need for that time period. much of our own high— and intermediate—level waste is kept here at the sellafield plant in cumbria. for years the government has been looking for places where a more permanent tomb could be built. recently it's been offering communities in england and wales £1 million a year to consider hosting a geological waste facility. scotland rejects the idea.

four so—called community partnerships have already been set up in cumbria and lincolnshire. well, this is a beautiful area. over there you've got morecambe bay to one side and the irish sea to the other. but opponents say the entire strategy is flawed. we have to look after this stuff into the foreseeable future, and that knowledge has to be passed on to future generations — they have to look after the stuff, as well. and by putting it out of sight, out of mind, you're absolutely denying future generations the ability to save themselves from leaking nuclear waste. amid a growing energy crisis — and with pressure to cut carbon emissions mounting, as well — the government's committed to a new generation of nuclear power stations, like this one at hinkley point in somerset, and another due to be built at sizewell in suffolk. but that will mean creating even more dangerous waste — only adding to the pressure to find a permanent solution. theo leggett, bbc news.

another challenge and decision for that new prime minister to make after next week. irate that new prime minister to make after next week.— that new prime minister to make after next week. we will know this time next week. _ after next week. we will know this time next week. we _ after next week. we will know this time next week. we will. - time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. the first notting hill carnival since 2019 has ended with a man being stabbed to death. it happened under the westway flyover in ladbroke grove at around eight o'clock. police are urging anyone with information to come forward. despite this the met said the weekend was largely positive while the mayor said it was a celebration of london's diversity. scotland yard's made payments to the families of three gay men who were murdered by the serial killer stephen port. it's settled civil claims with the relatives of anthony walgate, gabriel kovari and the partner of daniel whitworth, after admitting failings. the police watchdog is reinvestigating the met over its handling of their deaths.

transport for london's board will hold an emergency meeting later to discuss the government's long term funding deal. they've been in discussion for the past month over the £3.6 billion package. transport bosses have warned of cuts to services without a settlement, so far it's received more than five billion in bailouts from the government after falling into financial trouble during the pandemic. it's now ten years since the london paralympics and some of those who took part have been looking back on the event and how much has changed. sophie christiansen took three gold medals there and is now one of our most successful paralympians. she says the games helped to change perceptions. but a decade on there are still big challenges for disabled people especially when it comes to getting around. travel now.

there's no service between victoria and brixton on the victoria line. there are severe delays on the overground between liverpool street and enfield town. and there are minor delays on the district line. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's another reasonably mild start this morning. there's less cloud around, however, so a bright start with some sunshine. high pressure still to the north of the uk. but around the outside we've got this northeasterly breeze and it's fairly keen as well. so it's blowing in some cloud. the risk there today of one or two isolated light showers, but still some spells of sunshine and temperatures still reasonably warm. 23 celsius, the maximum. now into this evening and overnight, the cloud breaks up again. so we should get some late evening sunshine. but you'll notice the isobars still fairly close together. so we've still got that breeze overnight preventing any mist and fog. a bright start on wednesday morning. plenty of sunshine around. still have that breeze tomorrow so we could see one or two isolated showers. but it's largely dry on wednesday and in that sunshine, perhaps feeling a little bit warmer with a maximum of around 24 celsius. now, the high pressure stays

with us for thursday, but things start to change as we head towards the end of the week. seeing the feature coming up from the continent could bring some spells of rain on friday, and it turns progressively more unsettled as we head through the weekend. and we could see a bit more rain through sunday and through monday. that's it, but there's lots more on our website, i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. the devastation in pakistan caused by flooding has been called a "crisis of unimaginable proportions" with a third of the country now under water. homes have been swept away and some villages have been completely cut off. international aid has started to arrive but there are fears the situation will be even worse

than the deadly flooding of 2010. we're joined now by the former boxer amir khan, who helped with relief effort at the time, along with mariam kadodia from islamic relief uk. good morning to you both. amir khan, you've visited pakistan back in 2010, i know. how affected where you about what you saw at the time back then? , .

country has been effected and over 1000 people have been killed, and over half a million, 600,000 people are homeless. houses have been destroyed. pakistani and non—pakistani people can show their support by helping people in pakistan. ., . , pakistan. you look at those figures ou 'ust pakistan. you look at those figures you just mentioned, _ pakistan. you look at those figures you just mentioned, nearly - pakistan. you look at those figures you just mentioned, nearly 1 - pakistan. you look at those figures | you just mentioned, nearly1 million homes have been lost already, 157 bridges lost, 4000 kilometres of road destroyed, it is unimaginable. in some of these areas have not even been reached by the rescue teams. when you hear those numbers and see those pictures, what are you thinking?— those pictures, what are you thinkinu? h , .,, thinking? it's very sad to see. i saw the pictures _ thinking? it's very sad to see. i saw the pictures when - thinking? it's very sad to see. i saw the pictures when i - thinking? it's very sad to see. i saw the pictures when i was - thinking? it's very sad to see. i saw the pictures when i was at| thinking? it's very sad to see. i | saw the pictures when i was at a time, and i heard about the flood happening but i didn't think it was going to be as bad as it is now. that's why i decided to do a

campaign so we can get some money together. i spoke to the prime minister yesterday, on live call, and donated £20,000, just to start things off. obviously now we are going to try and get a little bit more now. did going to try and get a little bit more now— going to try and get a little bit more now. , i. , , . ~ ., more now. did you speak to the prime minister of pakistan? _ more now. did you speak to the prime minister of pakistan? sorry, _ more now. did you speak to the prime minister of pakistan? sorry, ex - minister of pakistan? sorry, ex prime minister, _ minister of pakistan? sorry, ex prime minister, imran - minister of pakistan? sorry, ex prime minister, imran khan. i minister of pakistan? sorry, ex l prime minister, imran khan. just recently, i'm so sorry. we had a little chat. and after that he called me up, he didn't recognise it was me because i wasjust a random call, i thought it was on television i decided to call and donate. i think he was a little bit shocked to have me on there. we called back later on eight later on and he called and said thank you for the support. all of the expats and pakistanis around the world should show their support to their country.

like i said, half a million homes have been destroyed, more than half a million, itjust shows how bad of a million, itjust shows how bad of a disaster that is so this is where we come in, to get together and show our support. irate we come in, to get together and show our sopport-— our support. we have been seeing these devastating _ our support. we have been seeing these devastating images - our support. we have been seeing these devastating images all- these devastating images all morning, mariam, what is the situation like on the ground that you have heard about? you situation like on the ground that you have heard about? you have got 33 million people, _ you have heard about? you have got 33 million people, about _ you have heard about? you have got 33 million people, about one - you have heard about? you have got 33 million people, about one in - 33 million people, about one in seven— 33 million people, about one in seven people who have been affected by these _ seven people who have been affected by these floods. so the homes that emyr— by these floods. so the homes that emyr was _ by these floods. so the homes that emyr was speaking about, it'sjust by these floods. so the homes that emyr was speaking about, it's just a fraction _ emyr was speaking about, it's just a fraction of— emyr was speaking about, it's just a fraction of the need. 0ver1000 peopte — fraction of the need. 0ver1000 people that we know of have passed away through these floods, we have -ot away through these floods, we have got areas _ away through these floods, we have got areas that are so remote that we will not _ got areas that are so remote that we will not really know the impact of this devastation until much later on. thousands of injured, a third of the country— on. thousands of injured, a third of the country is underwater and it is not the _ the country is underwater and it is not the worst of it yet. there are rivers _ not the worst of it yet. there are rivers that — not the worst of it yet. there are rivers that are flooded in the north and the _ rivers that are flooded in the north and the water is making its way down into sindh _ and the water is making its way down into sindh province. so it's not looking — into sindh province. so it's not looking great at the minute. it

yourself and raise the profile, would you return to pakistan and see the impact of these floods? definitely, i am already committed to something, it will be hard to go there myself but i am sending my team, they are going to be there tomorrow, they will land in pakistan. but if i get the chance to go to pakistan myself, after my commitments, i would love to go there. because what we need there now, if people who are watching now, maybe medication, shelter, and just basic things which pakistan needs. it's great to have the pakistan army there showing their support but a lot more help is needed. you have not famil lot more help is needed. you have got family over — lot more help is needed. you have got family over there, _ lot more help is needed. you have got family over there, there - lot more help is needed. you have got family over there, there will i lot more help is needed. you have | got family over there, there will be so many british pakistanis really worried at the moment, unable to contact theirfamilies, you must be aware of those kind of stories as well. , ., , ., ,., , aware of those kind of stories as well. , ., , ., well. yes, lots of stories and everyday _ well. yes, lots of stories and everyday am _ well. yes, lots of stories and everyday am getting -

i think when you're passionate about something and you love something so much, it's always hard to walk away. sometimes i think it's harder to walk away than to not, and that's been the case for me so i've been trying to decide for a little while what to do. ten years ago at flushing meadows andy murray won the first of his three grand slams. yesterday the 35—year—old made a great start to his latest charge. murray had been troubled by cramp in the build—up to the tournament but beat the 24th seed francicso cerundolo with minimum fuss. these days murray matches are often long but he got the job done in straight sets in under three hours and will play the american wild card emilio nava next. it's very, very tricky conditions today, very humid and hot. but, yeah, i was really happy with the way i got through that one. it was not easy, he's had a brilliant year this year, and i knew i was going to have to play well and i did in the important moments. it was a good opening day for most of the british players, with 20 year old jack draper at the bottom of your screen

making it into round two with an impresseive straight sets win over finland's emil ruusuvuori. and british number two harriet dart got the biggest win of her career — what a year she's having. this time she's knocked out the number ten seed daria kasatkina. dart won the first set on a tie break, before losing the second 6—1 — but took the third set by six games to three to reach the second round at flushing meadows for the first time in her career. she could potentially be the british number one come the end of this tournament. but there was disappointment in the end for kyle edmund at the bottom of your screen. he was the british number one at one stage, but he's had injury setbacks and knee surgery. good to see him back at a grand slam but he lost to the fifth seed casper ruud, the french open finalist, in straight sets. after a thrilling first day at flushing meadows, the second looks to be just as promising, with britain's emma raducanu to come. to look ahead to that and the first round so far, i'm joined by andy murray's former

coach miles maclagan. good morning, thank you for being with us on breakfast. struck by its 41 next month, andy murray is 35 with a metal hip. and serena williams is 41. what gives them the determination to go on when they have got nothing left to prove? i think it is that their appetite is insatiable to win and keep testing them selves. as serena said, when you come out after those sort of atmospheres, it's really hard to let them go. they have enjoyed lots of good moments in the court and that will never be too far from their mind. you want to keep those going as long as you can.— as long as you can. murray looked really good _ as long as you can. murray looked really good against _ as long as you can. murray looked really good against francisco i really good against francisco cerundolo yesterday, moving well, he had cramped issues but it was not a slog for lunch, he got —— for once,

he got thejob slog for lunch, he got —— for once, he got the job done slog for lunch, he got —— for once, he got thejob done in slog for lunch, he got —— for once, he got the job done in straight sets. what did you make of the performance and what is realistically the most he can achieve in the sport? it realistically the most he can achieve in the sport?- realistically the most he can achieve in the sport? it was a good performance. _ achieve in the sport? it was a good performance. as — achieve in the sport? it was a good performance, as he _ achieve in the sport? it was a good performance, as he said _ achieve in the sport? it was a good l performance, as he said afterwards, he has really broken through this year, cerundolo. as serena, it is key to get the first round without spending too much energy. murray is a quality of player is playing top 20 if not more tennis, he is tried and tested that he can perform on the biggest stage. some of the physical issues, maybe he is getting older, we all are. maybe not able to put in the volume of work which gave him the confidence before. and of course, there is a lot of things between him and serena, things are closer to the end than the beginning and that puts pressure on everybody because you want to make the most of

those opportunities. for murray, a couple of big losses already, taylor fritz has gone out, one of the americans, sits a —— there are a few people not here, like medvedev. but murray will look at a lot of players and say, i can take you down. irefill and say, i can take you down. will he win the — and say, i can take you down. will he win the us _ and say, i can take you down. will he win the us open again, yes or no? no, that is a safe bet, i would not put anything on it, but i think it is it safe! ., , ., put anything on it, but i think it is itsafe! ., , ., , put anything on it, but i think it isitsafe! ., , ., , put anything on it, but i think it isitsafe! , ., is it safe! lots of people said to know in my _ is it safe! lots of people said to know in my ear— is it safe! lots of people said to know in my ear as _ is it safe! lots of people said to know in my ear as well, - is it safe! lots of people said to know in my ear as well, where l is it safe! lots of people said to i know in my ear as well, where has the faith gone! let's move on to emma raducanu, she has had a 12 month which is challenging, if you were working with her head of the match against alize cornet, what we say to her? just match against alize cornet, what we sa to her? , , ., ., say to her? just try and get through the match- — say to her? just try and get through the match. first _ say to her? just try and get through the match. first rounds _ say to her? just try and get through the match. first rounds are - say to her? just try and get through the match. first rounds are ugly - say to her? just try and get through the match. first rounds are ugly no| the match. first rounds are ugly no matter who you are. it is feeling

your way into the tournament. it's about getting through the match. tonight is about as tough first round as she could have got, alize cornet is and experienced player and she loves a challenge, she had beaten serena williams at wimbledon so she is not afraid of the stage herself. the 12 months, no surprise for me in emma raducanu's i2 herself. the 12 months, no surprise for me in emma raducanu's 12 months. i don't know if there is anybody in the planet whose life was turned upside down like hers has. for good reasons, in terms of the fame, the money. probably only lottery winners who have made as much money but not with the fame. a i9—year—old girl who has been photographed and analysed, everything she does. what would concern me more, much has been made of the coaching carousel. you still want to have consistency and develop. she is a quality player, it takes some time to adjust to being

in the spotlight and dealing with the pressure. a lot of sponsors come on board and they want to be attached to a winner, so that takes some adjusting to. i would say to her, you have got to try, coaching is not about what you say before the match, it's being with someone all the time and working on a mindset where you are thinking about trying to, in the old cliche, stay in the moment and deal with what is in front of you. we moment and deal with what is in front of yon-— front of you. we will leave it there, miles, _ front of you. we will leave it there, miles, thank - front of you. we will leave it there, miles, thank you. - front of you. we will leave it | there, miles, thank you. that front of you. we will leave it - there, miles, thank you. that emma raducanu match is on midnight so i will be having two hours sleep come tomorrow. i cannot wait to see her because it will be inevitable, if she crashes out, what has gone wrong? myles is right, keep perspective, only 19 years old, it's about learning and developing. just her first full year about learning and developing. just herfirst full year on the about learning and developing. just her first full year on the tour. whatever happens tonight, temper your expectations, it will be a

tough match against alize cornet. you had in our�*s sleep last night, an hour tonight, what are you going to be like the end of the week? you miaht not to be like the end of the week? you might not see _ to be like the end of the week? you might not see me that's all i'm saying! might not see me that's all i'm sa inc! ., , saying! you will be retiring yourself! _ saying! you will be retiring yourself! it _ saying! you will be retiring yourself! it is _ saying! you will be retiring yourself! it is making - saying! you will be retiring yourself! it is making me | saying! you will be retiring - yourself! it is making me need a na -' yourself! it is making me need a nap! let's _ yourself! it is making me need a nap! let's go — yourself! it is making me need a nap! let's go straight _ yourself! it is making me need a nap! let's go straight to - yourself! it is making me need a nap! let's go straight to carol. yourself! it is making me need a l nap! let's go straight to carol with the weather. good morning. a fine start for some today, others have got more cloud, in the highlands, it will break and sunshine comes through with high pressure in charge for the next few days so things are fairly settled with one or two showers. if anything it will turn a bit warmer tomorrow. then the chance of rain as we head into wednesday, friday i should say, for some, and into the weekend for many of us. high pressure in charge but with the air moving around we have the brisk breeze coming down the north sea coastline and the english channel. that will knock the

edge of the temperatures. some cloud will thin and break across scotland, the drizzle will dry up and then we have a of dry weather and some brightness around, some sunshine, the best of which will be in the west. in the east we have more cloud coming in from the north sea and a few showers. these white circles represent average wind speeds so it is not particularly strong but if you are exposed to it it will feel a little bit cooler down the east coast. inland, 23 or 2a degrees. this evening and overnight with the cloud across central scotland temperatures should hold up but in the sheltered glens it could hold —— fall away to three or [i the sheltered glens it could hold —— fall away to three or 1! degrees under clearer skies. we also have an area of cloud across central england producing showers which would drift north into look —— at lincolnshire where we will see a few showers and a few showers in the south—east and east anglia coming in on the brisk breeze which will still be with us

across the southern areas tomorrow. we start off with showers in eastern parts of england which will drift further west through the day, it will be fairly isolated. you could catch one in northern ireland and scotland but most will not, we will have a dry day with sunny spells. temperatures if anything up on today, i hire potentially up to 25 tomorrow. but deal cool along the north sea coastline. —— but still cool north sea coastline. —— but still cool. thursday, dry weather around, bubbling up cloud through the day but a system coming up from france could produce some heavy and thundery showers across the channel islands. temperatures, iii thundery showers across the channel islands. temperatures, 1a to 25 degrees. 0n islands. temperatures, 1a to 25 degrees. on friday the same system could bring some heavy and thundery showers into the south—eastern corner. there will be a lot of dry weather and the odd isolated shower before we hit the west and we have got a weather front coming in bringing some rain across western

scotland and northern ireland. that could extend into wales and south—west england. an area of low pressure coming into the weekend, it moves across all of us through the weekend, bringing in some much—needed rain. the heaviest will likely be in the west, but we will all see a dose of it and temperatures are on the slide with highs of 23. i have set up to illustrate now! —— sat up really straight now! he's known best for being the lord of the dance but now michael flatley has swapped his sequins for the silver screen as he makes his film debut. in the movie blackbird, which he also directed and produced, michael plays a retired secret agent who gets dragged back into the murky world he tried to leave behind. take a look. blake molineux is extremely dangerous.

this is our chance. we must get victor involved. no—one could do what he does. i'm not the man i used to be. the blackbird is dead. you're the only one who can stop this. you've got to come back and fight. when are we going to get past this? i'll never get past this! you can'tjust hide from the world! victor blackley. i believe you have i something of mine. who i am is none of your concern. and what i do is out of your control. bless me, father, for i have sinned. and i'm about to sin again. and michaeljoins us now.

you think i would get actors to get a meal at the same time is not right and then covid. two years of our lives and we had a great success at the film festival and then a man named ben rosenberg, big hollywood producer, he loved the film and he did a couple of scenes so he took it and it is a very entertaining film, i think it is. would you say you learn from the experience? i would you say you learn from the exoerience?_ would you say you learn from the exerience? . ,., . . experience? i learned so much and i loved every — experience? i learned so much and i loved every second _ experience? i learned so much and i loved every second of— experience? i learned so much and i loved every second of it. _ experience? i learned so much and i loved every second of it. even - experience? i learned so much and i loved every second of it. even when| loved every second of it. even when it didn't go — loved every second of it. even when it didn't go right? _ loved every second of it. even when it didn't go right? especially - loved every second of it. even when it didn't go right? especially that. l it didn't go right? especially that. one of the things _ it didn't go right? especially that. one of the things that _ it didn't go right? especially that. one of the things that happened, j it didn't go right? especially that. i one of the things that happened, at a club that i booked, a beautiful nightclub and restaurant i booked, we booked it for three weeks, and some of the dates that we had, there

good morning welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. pakistan says a third of the country is underwater as the un launches an appeal to help millions of people left homeless. ukrainian forces have launched a major offensive aimed at retaking parts of the south of the country occupied by russia. police launch a murder investigation after a 21—year—old man was stabbed to death at the notting hill carnival. rising energy costs pile pressure on businesses. pub bosses say closures and job losses are inevitable

within months, as they plead with the government for help. i'll be looking at the impact of rising prices. a good opening day for the british players at the us open. and for serena williams — who makes a winning start to her farewell in new york. good morning. the weather over the next few days is fairly settled with sunny spells, variable cloud, and just a few showers. as we head towards the end of the week things are set to change with most seeing some rain. i will have all the details throughout the rest of this morning's programme. it's tuesday the 30th of august. our main story. the united nations will lead a global appeal today to help pakistan cope with the devastating floods which have left a third of the country under water — and killed more than 1,100 people. these are the areas most affected. provinces like sindh and balochistan in the south are the worst affected —

but mountainous regions in the north—west have also been badly hit. the crisis is not over yet — as heavy rain continues and water surges down the indus river. our reporter sean dilley has the latest details. in some parts of pakistan, it's been relentless. more than 33 million people have been affected by flooding in the country's heaviest rain for more than a decade. this year's monsoon season has claimed well over 1,100 lives since june. more than 3,500 kilometres of road have been damaged, and over 993,000 homes, too. in the northern city of sukkur, temporary retreat for families washed out of their homes. translation: our houses have j collapsed because of the floods. we had a home and it was enough for us. now all our belongings are buried under 12 to 13 feet of water. when i left with my children, i saw my house collapse. in other parts of the country, like the province of sindh in the southeast, some relief

from the rain — but so much land is still submerged, forcing some families to dry ground wherever they can find it. this farmer and his family have been sleeping in an open field for a week. translation: even when the water recedes, all we will have _ are these branches. our homes are gone. we have nothing. i was able to grow my own vegetables back home, and everything is gone now. i can't even feed my children. we need help. but the reality is that the country and its government is overwhelmed and besieged. aid agencies are struggling to cope. situation, unfortunately, unfolding is not good. people are desperate for international aid. and yesterday i was out with my team in kpk, district charsadda, where people were desperate for food, water, shelter.

later, the united nations willjoin pakistan's government in appealing to aid agencies in the international community to help raise more than £135 million, to help more than five million of the most affected and vulnerable. the situation is desperate, though. the un says many rivers and dams are at flood levels now — and it expects the situation to get worse as rain continues to fall. sean dilley, bbc news. our pakistan correspondent pumza fihlani in the southern province of sindh. we can see people have tried to get to high ground, to safety, but some of these areas affected haven't even been reached by the rescuers yet. that's one of the most difficult problems here and the reason for thatis problems here and the reason for that is a lot of the roads have been destroyed. bridges been washed away and with that it has made it difficult and the communities are

cut off. this is why people are living in these conditions. they have left their homes because their homes are submerged in water and they tried to get to higher ground. in many instances, and i have seen this through every village we have travelled to here in sindh, the higher ground is only the sight of a motorway. it has become unsafe for families. a lot of children are running around and parents are worried because they don't know how long they will need to be here and how long they will be exposed to these elements. they are out in the open. it is really hot during the day. there are mosquitoes at night and they are worried about waterborne diseases and they don't know if there is even medical care that will be able to look after them their children. just that will be able to look after them their children.— their children. just seeing those --eole their children. just seeing those people die _ their children. just seeing those people die with _ their children. just seeing those people die with their _ their children. just seeing those people die with their young i their children. just seeing those | people die with their young kids, how are they coping? it’s people die with their young kids, how are they coping? it's incredibly difficult. how are they coping? it's incredibly difficult- they _ how are they coping? it's incredibly difficult. they have _ how are they coping? it's incredibly difficult. they have said _ how are they coping? it's incredibly difficult. they have said this i how are they coping? it's incredibly difficult. they have said this is i difficult. they have said this is untold misery. the parents especially are worried because they don't know what to say to the children. if a child says i am

hungry they don't know what to say to them about when the next meal is coming and that is because a lot of what is happening now has left them completely at the mercy. they are having to sit here and wait for someone, whether it has an aid agency who have said they are overstretched and don't have enough resources, or simply another person that has got something to spare. it has made their lives really difficult because they have been gone from being able to sustain themselves and look after their children and feed them and clothe them and give their medical care when they need it, to being on the side of the road at the mercy of the elements and just waiting and not knowing how long that will be for. indeed. thank you very much indeed. hence that big un fundraising push today. ukraine's military says its long—awaited offensive in the south of the country has begun — and that it has broken through russia's first line of defence. the southern port of kherson fell to russia in the early days of the invasion — and is one of the largest ukrainian cities to be occupied. moscow has claimed the operation was a failure.

our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. good morning, hugo. why is this particular part of ukraine so important?— particular part of ukraine so im ortant? ,., ., , important? kherson has been under russian occupation _ important? kherson has been under russian occupation since _ important? kherson has been under russian occupation since the i russian occupation since the beginning of the war and it is one of the largest ukrainian cities in russian hands. now, it is incredibly difficult to independently verify the claims being made by the ukrainian government. the military says that the army has launched a number of operations in multiple areas in the kherson region and four weeks the ukrainian army has been attacking russian supply lines, infrastructure, deep inside russian —controlled territory, away from the front lines, and this has only been possible because of the sophisticated weapons being provided by western countries. now there has been a lot of speculation for quite some time about whether the ukrainians would launch a major

offensive to retake kherson, whether the ukrainians have the capacity to launch a major offensive. any major counter offensive is likely that is unlikely to be easy and last night president zelensky didn't specifically talk about the operations happening there, but he said ukraine was retaking territory and he had a message to russian soldiers. "if you want to survive, it is time to flee."— it is time to flee." hugo, thank ou. a murder investigation is underway after a 21—year—old man was stabbed at the notting hill carnival. it happened in the ladbroke grove area. our reporter sean coughlan is there. a terribly sad end to what had been a very successful weekend. what more can you tell us?— can you tell us? behind me now you can you tell us? behind me now you can probably — can you tell us? behind me now you can probably see — can you tell us? behind me now you can probably see the _ can you tell us? behind me now you can probably see the police - can you tell us? behind me now you can probably see the police cordon l can probably see the police cordon and a crime scene. last night this would have been thronged with people enjoying themselves at carnival. in

the middle of that, sadly, 21—year—old man was stabbed to death. as we understand it to the police and paramedics had a problem getting free, it is a significant challenge to get through crowds to the victim. he sadly died later in hospital. in some ways that will have clouded what would have been a very positive experience. it was a friendly, positive and good—natured carnival, but there were 200 arrests over the course of the weekend, including assaults and also drug offences, but this will cast a cloud over what would have been celebrations after covid. absolutely, for now, thank you very much. two 16—year—old boys have died after getting into difficulty in a loch close to derry—londonderry. emergency services were called to loch enagh at around 6.30pm last night. one of the boys died at the scene and the other died in hospital.

the cost—of—living crisis continues to dominate the race to become the next leader of the conservative party — which has one week to run. meanwhile, the chancellor nadhim zahawi is travelling to the united states to look for solutions to the crisis. our political correspondent iain watson is in westminster. good morning. what is nadhim zahawi hoping to achieve, and what has been the response to this trip? he is talkin: to the response to this trip? he is talking to bankers _ the response to this trip? he is talking to bankers in _ the response to this trip? he is talking to bankers in new- the response to this trip? he is talking to bankers in new york| the response to this trip? he: 3 talking to bankers in new york today but we'll be talking to a us treasury officials in washington tomorrow and his team say that what he is trying to achieve its long—term solutions to the cost—of—living crisis, notjust a short—term fix extra support, which he says he has also been working on, and will make available to whoever becomes prime minister next week. obviously that explanation has not gone down well with the opposition, so labour say instead of seeking

long—term solutions he is actually off on a taxpayer funded junket and they claim he is having an international chinwag at the very time he should be listening to people here who are struggling to pay their bills. now, the current prime minister is also out and about today, he is in dorset on what has been billed as a farewell tour. trying to highlight achievements including getting broadband into rural areas. including getting broadband into ruralareas. one including getting broadband into rural areas. one of the two candidates to replace it, the front run at liz truss, has been criticised not for what she's doing that for what she isn't doing. at 7pm tonight if you look at your newspaper she is supposed to be doing a bbc one interview but she pulled out saying she didn't have time, and in the process has managed to unite both labour and rishi sunak, but saying she is trying to avoid scrutiny and doesn't necessarily have a plan to deal with the cost—of—living crisis. but she will be appearing at the final hustings, answering questions along with rishi sunak, directly from conservative party members tomorrow night. anyone left in the

conservative party who hasn't yet voted will have a chance, polls close on friday and next week the new minister will be announced. on tuesday they officially become prime minister and then i think there will be a reshuffling of the cabinet, possibly the current chancellor, currently in america, it will be moving out of number 11. thank you, iain. nasa say it will still happen. nasa has postponed the launch of the artemis space rocket on its mission to the moon, due to last minute technical issues. officials say a problem with the engine meant they had to stop the un—manned mission, just minutes before it was due to take off. they're hoping the next opportunity for re—launch could come on friday. not too long to wait. there is a weather gap — not too long to wait. there is a weather gap and _ not too long to wait. there is a weather gap and if _ not too long to wait. there is a weather gap and if not - not too long to wait. there is a weather gap and if not it - not too long to wait. there is a weather gap and if not it will i not too long to wait. there is a | weather gap and if not it will be next month. we have been speaking to some experts this morning who say they have to get it right. all that

wind. the same longer the english channel coastline with highs of 23 or 2a degrees. if you are stepping out this afternoon you can expect a mixture of cloud and sunny spells. just a few showers. you can see how isolated they are. sunshine as we carry on the wales, northern england and northern ireland, with the shower. the show in western scotland but most dry and after the low cloud, we will see some sunshine. through this evening and overnight where we hang on to the cloud across central scotland, temperatures will stay in double figures mostly. but where we have sheltered glens in scotland, temperatures can fall away to 3 or [i scotland, temperatures can fall away to 3 or 4 degrees, a cold start tomorrow. most of england and wales, we are in double figures which i was in central areas pushing up into yorkshire and lincolnshire. we start with those showers in the east tomorrow, still a brisk wind across southern areas including the english channel, blowing and some of those showers. if anything, channel, blowing and some of those showers. ifanything, did my sunshine for some tomorrow than

today. still cool along the north shore coastline —— north sea coastline with highs of 25 degrees. thank you very much indeed. if you are still making the most of the summer and thinking about a trip to the beach, i guarantee this is one thing you will be talking about. it's the stomach—turning sight we've seen far too many times this summer — raw sewage being pumped directly into the sea. the water companies say they have no choice during heavy rain — and the government has announced a plan to tackle the issue in england. but critics say the new targets don't go far enough. tim muffett reports from whitstable in kent — and you might want to put the cornflakes aside for this one. all too often these swimmers in whitstable take an unlucky dip. it is effectively human excrement. anything from baby wipes, tampons, toilet roll. it's brown stuff in the water - and it's very sort of, like, foamy. if it starts getting - foamy, you get out quick!

today the water seems clear, but heavy rain can leave the sea polluted for days. with sewerage pipes unable to cope, raw sewage is sometimes discharged into the sea. sos whitstable is a campaign group formed in response. lots of people reporting to us that they've been sick from swimming — so ear infections, eye infections, and kind of bacterial infections resulting in sickness and diarrhoea. whitstable as a town, which is famous for its fish and its oysters, has suffered huge reputational and physical damage as a result of this saga. it is massively impacting the tourism, the hospitality, the fishing industries. it's not acceptable. sewage being discharged into the sea in sussex this month. around 50 beaches across england and wales have been given pollution warnings in august. it was just absolutely vile, wasn't it? gross. rebecca and alexa say the pollution monitoring apps and websites they checked gave them the all—clear before they went paddleboarding recently in whitstable. ijust thought, "oh, my goodness,

that is raw sewage there, and my feet are in there." all the boards have been in it. i could see toilet paper, baby wipes, and there was just this kind of layer on the beach. so why is raw sewage sometimes discharged into the sea? well, most of the uk has a combined sewerage system, which means that rainwater and waste water from toilets and bathrooms travels along the same pipes to sewage treatment works. but if it's been raining heavily, those pipes can be overwhelmed, potentially flooding treatment plants, roads — even people's homes. so to stop that happening, in exceptional circumstances, water companies can legally discharge raw sewage into rivers and the sea. but the circumstances have to be exceptional — otherwise water companies might be breaking the law. in july last year, southern water was fined a record £90 million

for illegally dumping billions of litres of untreated sewage into the sea in hampshire, west sussex and kent. this separate incident was filmed in langstone harbour in hampshire in october of last year. thames water has been fined more than £30 million since 2017 for illegal sewage discharge. filmed by campaigners last winter, this seems to show raw sewage being released into the river thames. it's not clear whether this was an illegal discharge or not. given the option, though, of potentially flooding people's homes with raw sewage, or releasing that raw sewage into the sea — it's going to be the sea, isn't it? presently, the system is completely overwhelmed — that is correct, yes — and that's due to a lack of investment in the infrastructure since privatisation over 30 years ago. on friday, the government published a plan to tackle the problem in england. water companies will need to invest £56 billion over 25 years on infrastructure. by 2035, all storm overflows which discharge water into bathing areas will need to be improved.

the environmental audit select committee assesses the impact of government policies on the environment. well, i welcome this plan — i mean, it's going to be increasing the capital investment by water companies into sorting out the treatment of our waste water by more than double over the next 25 years. and that in itself was double the level that it was in the decade prior to privatisation. so i think it does show a significant commitment by the government to try to tackle this problem. sos whitstable says the government's plan is woefully inadequate — a huge failure which doesn't hold water companies to account. it wants the industry to be renationalised. in a statement, southern water said the discharges it sometimes releases into the sea were heavily diluted — typically being 95% rainwater. it was done to protect homes, schools and businesses from flooding. the appeal of sea swimming is strong

enough for this group to continue for now — but without rapid improvement on pollution, some say it'll no longer be worth the risk. tim muffett, bbc news whitstable in kent. with looking lovely in those pictures, at least, whitstable. we will keep across that in the weeks and months ahead. a few months ago on breakfast, we told you about an incredible woman called ami mclennan — whose teenage son william needed a new kidney, but doctors were refusing to operate because of his autism. she launched a legal appeal against that decision — which she won — and william has now had the transplant. we'll be catching up with ami in a moment to see how william is getting on. first, tomos morgan has been looking back at what the family has been through. this is william. he's 17, loves golf.

he's also autistic with adhd, and was diagnosed with end—stage renalfailure. initially, his doctors at the royal manchester children's hospital weren't prepared to undergo the life—saving kidney transplant needed due to his autism. but mum ami wasn't prepared to take no for an answer. he's amazing. we first spoke to ami in february — as she took the case to court, challenging the medical decision. and in march this year, a judge ruled the teenager would be given the chance to have his operation. i've no words. she said yes. she said yeah. since our story was broadcast, several altruistic donors had come forward, including kim mcgowan, whose son — also called william — has autism and adhd. i think when you're a parent of a child with any additional need, you will be very familiar with the feeling of having to fight. you shouldn't have to fight for it. nobody should have to fight for it. everybody's the same. you shouldn't be judged

on having a disability. . it's wrong. tomos morgan, bbc news. ami joins us now. good morning. good morning. well done. good morning. good morning. well done- that — good morning. good morning. well done. that was _ good morning. good morning. well done. that was a _ good morning. good morning. well done. that was a fight, _ good morning. good morning. well done. that was a fight, wasn't - good morning. good morning. well done. that was a fight, wasn't it? l done. that was a fight, wasn't it? it was. ., , ~ . done. that was a fight, wasn't it? it was-_ doing - it was. how is william? doing reall , it was. how is william? doing really. really _ it was. how is william? doing really, really well, _ it was. how is william? doing really, really well, yeah, - really, really well, yeah, brilliant.— really, really well, yeah, brilliant. . , , . ., really, really well, yeah, brilliant. . ,, . ., , .. ,, brilliant. transplant was a success, which he fought _ brilliant. transplant was a success, which he fought for— brilliant. transplant was a success, which he fought for has _ brilliant. transplant was a success, which he fought for has worked. i brilliant. transplant was a success, j which he fought for has worked. up which he fought for has worked. ii? to now, it has a. which he fought for has worked. up to now, it has a. took _ which he fought for has worked. up to now, it has a. took us _ which he fought for has worked. up to now, it has a. took us through i which he fought for has worked. up to now, it has a. took us through a| to now, it has a. took us through a ical to now, it has a. took us through a typical day — to now, it has a. took us through a typical day for _ to now, it has a. took us through a typical day for you _ to now, it has a. took us through a typical day for you and _ to now, it has a. took us through a typical day for you and for - to now, it has a. took us through a typical day for you and for him - to now, it has a. took us through a typical day for you and for him at i typical day for you and for him at the moment as he recovers because it is a huge operation.— is a huge operation. yeah. he got extubated on _ is a huge operation. yeah. he got extubated on tuesday _ is a huge operation. yeah. he got extubated on tuesday and - is a huge operation. yeah. he got extubated on tuesday and has - is a huge operation. yeah. he got l extubated on tuesday and has been away ever since. that extubated on tuesday and has been away ever since.— away ever since. that is taking the tubes out? — away ever since. that is taking the tubes out? the _ away ever since. that is taking the tubes out? the physio _ away ever since. that is taking the tubes out? the physio left - away ever since. that is taking the tubes out? the physio left him - away ever since. that is taking the tubes out? the physio left him in l tubes out? the physio left him in the bed and _ tubes out? the physio left him in the bed and now _ tubes out? the physio left him in the bed and now he _ tubes out? the physio left him in the bed and now he is _ tubes out? the physio left him in the bed and now he is almost - the bed and now he is almost standing alone. he is back on his xbox. ., ~' ., standing alone. he is back on his xbox. ., ~ ., , ,

while the mayor said it was a celebration of london's diversity. scotland yard's made payments to the families of three gay men who were murdered by the serial killer stephen port. it's settled civil claims with the relatives of anthony walgate, gabriel kovari and the partner of daniel whitworth, after admitting failings. the police watchdog is reinvestigating the met over its handling of their deaths. transport for london's board will hold an emergency meeting later to discuss the government's funding deal. they've been in discussion for the past month over the package. transport bosses have warned of cuts to services without a settlement and say the terms must be fair. so far it's received more than five billion in bailouts from the government after falling into financial trouble during the pandemic. it's now ten years since the london paralympics and some of those who took part have been looking back on the event and how much has changed. sophie christiansen took three gold medals there and is now one

of our most successful paralympians. she says the games helped to change perceptions. but there are still big challenges for disabled people — especially when it comes to getting around. travel now. there are minor delays on the victoria and elizabeth line. and there are minor delays on the district line between earl's court and upminster. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's another reasonably mild start this morning. there's less cloud around, however, so a bright start with some sunshine. high pressure still to the north of the uk. but around the outside we've got this northeasterly breeze and it's fairly keen as well.

so it's blowing in some cloud. the risk there today of one or two isolated light showers, but still some spells of sunshine and temperatures still reasonably warm. 23 celsius, the maximum. now into this evening and overnight, the cloud breaks up again. so we should get some late evening sunshine. but you'll notice the isobars still fairly close together. so we've still got that breeze overnight preventing any mist and fog. a bright start on wednesday morning. plenty of sunshine around. still have that breeze tomorrow so we could see one or two isolated showers. but it's largely dry on wednesday and in that sunshine, perhaps feeling a little bit warmer with a maximum of around 2a celsius. now, the high pressure stays with us for thursday, but things start to change as we head towards the end of the week. seeing the feature coming up from the continent could bring some spells of rain on friday, and it turns progressively more unsettled as we head through the weekend. and we could see a bit more rain through sunday and through monday. that's it, but there's lots more on our website — including the story of the student fighting for better access at her university. i'm backjust after 9.00.

sleep. the space business and the sports business, you don't want to miss the moment. serena williams continues her run at the us open. she was asked, are you definitely retiring? she smiled and said, i am going to stay vague because you never know. but let's put some measure on this. it was a big goodbye to her, oprah winfrey and everything else, she was quite clear that she is ready to evolve away from tennis in her words, extent herfamily evolve away from tennis in her words, extent her family and to call time on her career. still a bit of jeopardy on whether this is definitely the end for serena. but she beat danka kovinic from montenegro in straight sets. it was also a good opening day for most of the british players including andy murray who ten years on from winning his first grand slam there, made it into the second round with an impressive straight sets win over the 24th seed francisco cerundolo as laura scott now reports from new york.

andy murray! a decade since his first title here, andy murray's hips might have changed but his hopes haven't. fighting back from an early break down, he showed he's still got it. while the 24th seed francisco cerundolo showed a touch of class, confessing that this ball bounced twice before he reached it. murray had to keep his cool to come through a tight first set, and from there life became easier, even if it didn't feel like it. that felt like five sets to me. it's very, very tricky conditions today, very humid and hot. but, yeah, i was really happy with the way i got through that one. at the top of the screen, that's another brit, harriet dart, who pulled off the performance of her life to shock the tenth seed daria kasatkina and herself. while the rapidly rising jack draper joined them in round two with a straight sets win. you only had to look at today's programme to see there really

is only one story in town, and that's around serena williams's decision to make this her final tournament. the 23 time grand slam tournament champion is who many of these fans are here to see. doesn't give up, enthusiastic, and she just goes for what she wants and i love that about her. amazing player, the best female player ever of all time. i think that she's superl great and i'm really sad that she's retiring. the greatest of all time, serena williams. if this was to be her swansong, she made sure it was going to be sparkling. diamonds in her hair, the same beads she wore back in 1999 donned by her daughter. emotions were running high as every point was greeted like it was her last. by a star—studded crowd that included a president, a pooch, and martina navratilova sitting next to mike tyson. while danka kovinic,

the world number 80, struggled to find support and her serve. serena's fans weren't ready for this to be the end. clearly, neither was she. i think when you're passionate about something and you love something so much, it's always hard to walk away. sometimes i think it's harder to walk away than to not, and that's been the case for me so i've been trying to decide for a little while what to do. she's not walking awayjust yet, no, she's twirling her way to the second round. laura scott, bbc news, new york. not much sleep four tennis fans last night and it will be the same tonight. the reigning us open champion emma raducanu begins the defence of her title tonight. she's seeded 11th at flushing meadows and at midnight uk time she takes on france's alize cornet, who knocked the world number one

iga swiatek out of wimbledon earlier this summer. a tough opening match. raducanu's had a challenging year with injuries and fitness concerns since that fairy tale win in new york, but says she's learnt a lot. i'm really happy with what i've done this year and how i have come out of certain situations. i have obviously got amazing memories in new york, it has got to be up there as one is my favourite tournaments. i'm just happy to be back in the city as well. finally you're never too old to show off some nifty dance moves as proven by a couple who showed off their skills before tossing the ceremonial pitch for the miami marlins—la dodgers game. the couple who are called ganas con canas, which means desire with white hair, and are both in their 705, are well known in the united states for appearing on america's got talent a few years ago and certainly proved that they've still got it last night.

by 80% in october is still sinking in for many of us. remember that businesses aren't protected by any kind of price cap — so they're seeing bills go up considerably more. in a letter to the government this morning, pub bosses say they're seeing energy bill increases of around 300% since 2020. one landlord for example reports their bill for the next year has gone up by £33,000. they're warning of pub closures and job losses within months without government interventionone recent survey of smaller, one recent survey of smaller, independent pub owners says 70% don't expect to survive the winter months without help. so what would that help be? joining me isjonathan neame, the boss of the shepherd neame brewery which has 300 pubs across the south east of england.

is the landlord of. is there something the industry could do to help itself? i something the industry could do to hel itself? ~ . , help itself? i think the industry durin: help itself? i think the industry during the _ help itself? i think the industry during the covid _ help itself? i think the industry during the covid crisis - help itself? i think the industry during the covid crisis stood i help itself? i think the industry during the covid crisis stood up incredibly well to cancel rent for almost all the pubs in the sector. certainly that is true of our company. we are looking at any number of ways that we can support our tenants through some sort of utility protection, or rent support, or investing to reduce consumption through better insulation or changing cookers etc. but the reality is that all of those things take time to deliver and even cutting rent would not in any way compensate for the 300% increases that their gas will go up. that is significantly higher than the rents in most pubs. fiend significantly higher than the rents in most pubs-— significantly higher than the rents in most hubs. . .., in most pubs. and compared with the handemic, in most pubs. and compared with the pandemic, indeed _ in most pubs. and compared with the pandemic, indeed historically, - in most pubs. and compared with the pandemic, indeed historically, howi pandemic, indeed historically, how severe is the situation you are facing in the industry right now? has
