month. liz truss says sticking plaster is one to solve the fundamental problem. the issue dominated the campaign, which saw liz truss and rishi sunak tear into each other�*s economic plans and the record of the government. the outgoing prime minister says it is time for the tories to unite. the sunday express, borisjohnson has a message for his successor. but labour's leader, sir keir starmer, said either rishi sunak or liz truss had grasped the scale of the problems facing the country. —— neither. by tuesday, we will have a new prime minister, facing formidable challenges, and their response to the energy bills crisis could find a time in office. ben

wright, bbc news. nasa says the launch of its most powerful rocket ever designed may be delayed for several weeks after it failed to launch for the second time. the artemis i was due to blast off yesterday, having been postponed since monday — but the unmanned mission to orbit the moon was again abandoned due to technical difficulties. helena wilkinson reports. artemis one's mission to the moon is once again on pause. there had been high hopes of liftoff, but yesterday, another postponement. well, you know, i mean, it is what it is. we are here for the first one, that was scrapped to, to hear that this won't get scrapped also, is a little disappointing, but what are you going to do? my is a little disappointing, but what are you going to do?— is a little disappointing, but what are you going to do? my sun, he is ten, he are you going to do? my sun, he is ten. he is — are you going to do? my sun, he is ten, he is growing. _ are you going to do? my sun, he is ten, he is growing. he _ are you going to do? my sun, he is ten, he is growing. he was - are you going to do? my sun, he is ten, he is growing. he was very . ten, he is growing. he was very excited — ten, he is growing. he was very excited for— ten, he is growing. he was very excited for his first launch. anyway, _ excited for his first launch. anyway, we will be back, maybe not for this_ anyway, we will be back, maybe not for this one. — anyway, we will be back, maybe not for this one, but at some point in the future — for this one, but at some point in the future. a for this one, but at some point in the future-— for this one, but at some point in the future. a large hydrogen leak was discovered _ the future. a large hydrogen leak was discovered when _ the future. a large hydrogen leak was discovered when the -

6:06 am
rocket will launch a small spacecraft and take it orbiting around the moon before its return to earth. it will be a test flight without anyone on board. but the next mission will have astronauts, with the ultimate aim, landing on the moon. for now, this complex machine will stay underground to be fixed. it means we might not see a third launch attempt before the middle of october at the earliest. space journalist doctor ken kramer joins us now from florida. good morning, well, no time for you, so thank you for staying up so late to talk to us. —— night time. how much of a blow is this latest postponement?- of a blow is this latest postponement? of a blow is this latest --ostonement? ~ , ., ~ ., , postponement? well, you know, it is a disappointment. _ postponement? well, you know, it is a disappointment. but _ postponement? well, you know, it is a disappointment. but they _ postponement? well, you know, it is a disappointment. but they have - postponement? well, you know, it is a disappointment. but they have to l a disappointment. but they have to be safe. we don't want to have a disaster, we don't want to rush into a disaster. they have to be safe, so they absolutely did the right thing
6:07 am
to delay it. you know, they had hoped they had fixed always hydrogen leaks, but as it turned out they didn't. and so we willjust have to proceed from there, and for sure, i am certain it is not going to happen until the middle of october. nonetheless, all the expertise, all the money that has been cloud into this, it does seem a little bit surprising these issues are coming up surprising these issues are coming up now. —— ploughed into. wellness admit disappointment to all these disruptions? admit disappointment to all these disruptions?_ disruptions? well, they did. it is certainly a _ disruptions? well, they did. it is certainly a disappointment. - disruptions? well, they did. it is certainly a disappointment. but, j disruptions? well, they did. it is - certainly a disappointment. but, you know, as ijust said, if we have a disaster, that is much worse. a delay of a few days or a few weeks, nobody will care about that a year from now. but if the rocket fails, that will be the end of the programme, most likely. they have to do everything they can to ensure its success, and hopefully they will be able to fix it, but it is an insidious leak. it is very hard to detect these hydrogen leaks. the
6:08 am
problem is that you can only detect limit cryogenic temperatures, which means “400 fahrenheit, where liquid hydrogen is actually flowing through the fuel lines. you can't detect that at room temperature, ambient temperature. they can check it all they want, but until we actually call it, you don't know if the leak is there. the way they have been doing that so far is through launch attempts. hopefully they will be able to figure out a different way, maybe they can do a partial fuel leak test, see if that seal is seated, and then maybe proceed to the launch of a few days later. that is one alternative they are looking at today, that actually i asked about at the briefing this afternoon.— about at the briefing this afternoon. ., , . ., , afternoon. the ob'ective of this programme _ afternoon. the ob'ective of this programme is — afternoon. the ob'ective of this programme is to — afternoon. the objective of this programme is to ultimately - afternoon. the objective of this programme is to ultimately put people on the moon in a few years again. what is the knock—on effect of this? is it such a delay now that it is likely to push the whole programme back? 0r it is likely to push the whole programme back? or have they still got a bit of wiggle room in terms of

6:18 am
with warm sunshine and also a few showers. it is a very mixed with picture at the moment because we have got an area of low pressure just rotating just to the west of the uk and around it we are pushing these areas of thicker cloud and rain. this is the rain we have seen over the past few hours stop there is the first area of rain up into northern scotland, followed by this thicker cloud and heavy rain that we start the day within northern ireland and south of scotland once again, we had a lot of rain yesterday. it will move northwards, gets pushed away towards northern scotland, then we are left with the zone of thicker cloud here that could produce if you sharp showers into the afternoon, but either side of that i think we will enjoy some sunshine, a much better day today in northern ireland that it was yesterday, still got the southerly breezes, it is bringing in the warm air, sunshine and temperatures are going to be pretty good, a warmer in northern ireland than yesterday, cooler than yesterday in northern scotland with the rain hanging into the afternoon. highest temperatures for eastern england, could make 26 today in east anglia. we have the
6:19 am
zone of thicker cloud, it will be a focus for some more rain developing, another belts of heavy, perhaps thundery, rain across england wales and up into scotland and northern ireland late in the note. still got those southerly breezes, a lot of cloud away, quite a warm night, temperatures may be no lower than 16 or 17 degrees. heading into tomorrow, we still have the same area of low pressure still rotating to the west of the uk. we will start with that rain, mainly by this stage across scotland in the morning, that will move through. then there will be some decent spells of sunshine. 0ne rosellas breaking out. those are most likely in the far south—east and moving into the west country and south wales. a lot of places will be dry in the afternoon and quite warm, temperatures 22 in the central belt of scotland and again making 25 or 26 for east anglia and the south—east of england. looking into next week, that low pressure is going to dominate, it tends to slowly drift eastwards right over the uk. it means the wind is
6:20 am
probably turning lighter over the week ahead. it says very unsettled. yes, there will be some sunshine, and it will be reasonably warm, but we will see showers, longer spells of rain, midwicket could be quite thundery and slowly the temperatures will be dropping away slowly turn a little bit cooler. to you. the will be dropping away slowly turn a little bit cooler. to you.— little bit cooler. to you. the kind of detail and _ little bit cooler. to you. the kind of detail and could _ little bit cooler. to you. the kind of detail and could only - little bit cooler. to you. the kind of detail and could only dream i little bit cooler. to you. the kind of detail and could only dream of knowing, thank you for putting flesh on the bones. you knowing, thank you for putting flesh on the bones-— sir paul mccartney, liam gallagher, and queen were among the acts who took part in a special concert at wembley last night in memory of the foo fighters' drummer taylor hawkins, who died earlier this year. the foo fighters also performed, and for one very special song they were accompanied on the drums by hawkins' teenage son, shane. mark savage was there. # it's times like these learn to live again... it was a night full of emotion. # it's times like these, you give,

austria may have won new fans but england won the trophy, albeit fans of the lionesses were a rare breed in wiener neustadt. after the summer we have completely fallen in love with women's football. we are lucky, we live here so there might a few of us here, but i don't think there will be many. i would have preferred it to be in the big stadium in vienna i because i think the lionesses deserve a bigger crowd. i yes, this tiny stadium was a far cry from wembley, and that wasn't the only difference. unlike her super sub role in the euros, alessia russo was on from the start. her finish wasn't half bad either. but austria almost pounced immediately on a collector's item, a lucy bronze mistake. her team—mates rushed to her aid, hickelsberger—fuller fluffed her lines. some mistakes crept in. this was a let off. england needed to buck their ideas up fast, butjust eight minutes after she'd come onto the pitch,

with everton in the merseyside derby. both goalkeepers were outstanding. everton could have won it here, but connor coady�*s goal was ruled out for offside by var. chelsea came from behind to beat west ham 2—1 at stamford bridge, kai havertz scoring the winning goal but there was controversy towards the end, maxwell cornet�*s equaliser ruled out by var for a foul on goalkeeper edouard mendy, which left west ham manager david moyes in disbelief. it was a scandalous decision. incredible. the goalkeeper spills, comes out of his hand at five or six yards. he couldn't recover the ball. and the referee gave the goal. i don't know who sent him to ba are, but whoever it is should be well looked at as well is the referee. a gap is already growing between celtic and rangers at the top of the scottish premiership after celtic thrashed their arch rivals in the first old firm derby

6:37 am
moving sand dunes. this is a melting pot of cultures, and all of those peoples have left their archaeological site, which have been kept perfectly intact, down the millennia. cat's in the uk's northernmost city. here's a clue where. the site's really significant. it's had castles that have been burned, besieged, rebuilt. mary, queen of scots, robert the bruce have all had connections with this place. and why greenland is fast becoming a bucket list destination at the top of the world. we decided on greenland. a reason was to experience climate change at the hub of it, so to speak.
6:38 am
the huge sand dunes of southern spain are some of the largest in europe and yet, they remain relatively unknown, even amongst the most well—explored travellers, with even fewer people aware of the treasures concealed beneath their moving sands. i'm meeting eddi pitcher, a writer and traveljournalist who specialises in uncovering hidden places, and she's going to guide me off the beaten track on my mission to learn more about the living sand dunes of southern spain. eddi, where are you taking me today? so, we are taking the wild way to the bolonia beach, and we can see that this is the way because we've got knotted — knotted beach grass here. there are no signs, so it's — i said it was a wild way.
6:39 am
i'm definitely glad that eddi's here to show me the way on this one. wow! look at this! there you go, so you've desert dune just there. wow! this is the bolonia sand dune, one of spain's largest sand dunes, standing at over 30 metres high and 200 metres wide, all concealed within the estrecho nature park, one of cadiz�*s most unspoilt and off—the—beaten—track areas. hey, there — we did it! probably the best way to think about this coastline, which is endlessly shutting down the centuries, is as a living sand dune. and now, with climate change, the winds are getting stronger and pushing with them these dunes. so, they're really moving? yeah, exactly. these dunes are being battered by hurricane—force winds, forcing them inland and revealing some remarkable hidden history concealed below. if you think about it in terms of history, this is a melting pot of cultures. you've got africa, you've got europe, you've got all of the mediterranean and then, the travels across the atlantic,
6:40 am
and all of those peoples have left their vestiges, their archaeological sites along this coastline, which have been perfectly intact down the millennia. my next stop is cape trafalgar, 60 kilometres down the coast from bolonia, where archaeologists from the university of cadiz have just discovered some remarkable ruins, thanks to these moving sands. so, when you discovered and realised it was a tomb, you must�*ve been preparing to find some bones in here, right? so, the excavation here is very similar to the excavation in egypt tombs and they have preserved very well the bones, so the state of preservation
6:41 am
of the tomb, of the bones is excellent. we have found arrowhead. speaks spanish. pendant. gasps. i can't believe i'm holding in my hand a piece ofjewellery from thousands of years ago. that is amazing. speaks spanish. a bead! and these aren't the last of the mysteries which this magnificent coastline i5 concealing. finding two neolithic tombs is extraordinary enough, but this coast has even more buried treasures. in fact, looking around,
6:42 am
i can see people lying on their beach towels, probably not knowing that beneath them could be a whole ancient roman settlement. if you are on the beach and you have an umbrella and you leave your umbrella on the beach in a windy area, after some hours, it will be completely covered by the sand, and this is what has happened here. so, what can you tell me about this site? what are these walls? this is the roof, more or less, of the roman baths. wow! so it's much deeper. yes. so, how — how deep do we have to go down? four metres down. four metres? could we have a go at maybe exposing just a bit more of it to see more what's down there? yes, of course. four metres is a long way down. yeah! this is gong to take me probably than the afternoon, i'd say. i think i'm going to have to accept defeat with here.
6:43 am
besides, the archaeologists have purposely decided to cover up this site with sand in order to protect it from the elements — a decision which might prove difficult in the long—term, thanks to those strong winds and shifting sands. to find out if there's an alternative method of preservation, i've come back to where i started my trip, bolonia, home to baelo claudia, an ancient roman city dating back to the second century bc, and one of andalucia's most significant and well—preserved ancient roman archaeological sites. with the wind blowing so constantly, you may not be able to preserve these ruins covered in sand for future generations, so there's an alternative, which is to create something like this place. this was, what, forgotten for 2000 years and then suddenly, some sand shifted and we discover it was, in fact, a really important place. yes, it would have been really famous. people would talk about the products from baelo claudia all around the mediterranean and all these the banquets from the romans — they would love to have products from here.
6:44 am
it's quite an interesting site. we've got these incredible ancient ruins and then, over there, someone applying suntan lotion and sunbathing on the beach. i guess this is like — like this coastjust in one image there. so, here we have our history, our past and our present in front of us. laughter. i was hiking up on that enormous dune and you could really see how all the sand was really shifting inland. and if that's happening all around the coast here, is this a good thing for revealing exciting archaeological finds or a concerning thing about the preservation of those finds? i think this is a great example of how to do things right, but it took also decades to both excavate, preserve and make the right combination between the research and the visitors, and it would be great if some of them can be open to the public, so there is, like, a route that people can do. let's hope that if it's handled correctly, this part of spain can uncover and preserve more incredible historical sites for future generations, no matter what direction
6:45 am
the wind blows. and if you're thinking to heading to this part of southern spain any time soon, here are some travel show tips on things to see and do. if you're a meat lover, then maybe put the andalucian village of ardales on your bucket list, because every february, they hold a festival there that proves just how much the spanish love their pork. you'll find all kinds of traditional, mouthwatering local dishes on sale there. and in true spanish style, there's plenty of drinking and dancing way into the night. if you prefer a slightly more tranquil trip, then why not head for donana national park? its sand dunes, marshes and plains are home to lots of local wildlife, including some endangered species, such as the iberian lynx.
6:46 am
it's also a great place for some birdwatching, as it's on the route where huge flocks of birds migrate to and from africa every year. and seville, of course, is usually high on everyone's list. it's southern spain's largest tourist destination, and for good reason. filled with historic architecture, palaces and museums, it's also where you can find a very unique bar, set in an historic islamic bathhouse, dating back to the days al—andalus, of muslim spain. it's one of the few places you can see original 12th century moorish decoration, like this, still in situ. still to come on the travel show — we're day tripping in the scottish highlands. i'm not going to say there is or there isn't a creature in loch ness,
6:47 am
but i have seen some strange phenomenon on the water. and could this be the next must—see destination for the more adventurous travellers among us? now, everything isjust even more busy than 2019. all the hotels are completely booked and cruise ships are back. so, don't go away. with restrictions relaxed, i'm travelling across the uk to see how the country's top attractions are doing, to meet the people getting as excited about travel again and hear their plans for the new normal. this time, i'm in the scottish highlands. hello from inverness, the northernmost city in the uk and the gateway to the scottish highlands. it's also home to a very famous resident — nessie, aka, the loch ness monster — but i want to see what else there is to do in the city, so let's go!
6:48 am
pre—pandemic, inverness and loch ness welcomed up to 1.6 million visitors a year. it's also one of the country's fastest—growing cities. now, i've heard there is an unofficial—official cake of inverness, and it's made by a family—run bakery that first opened shop here back in 1898. it's called a dream ring. very creamy. it looks like a doughnut, but i5100% not a doughnut. inverness castle used to be a prison and a courtroom but now, it's undergoing major renovations to turn it into a visitor attraction. this is the grand entrance lobby. stuart started on this project just before lockdown and it's expected to be fully complete in 2025. well, you can already see they've made an opening in the wall there. we're going to let the public spill out there onto our new terrace. and here we are at the top of inverness castle,
6:49 am
and this is the view you get. this is spectacular! inverness is a great wee city and the site's really significant. it's had castles that have been burnt, besieged, rebuilt. mary, queen of scots, robert the bruce have all had connections with this place. so, when people come, what would they expect to see? so, they should get a fantastic sort of immersive experience that tells them stories of the highlands, find out about places that they've never heard about and hear stories they've never heard about and the hope is that that will inspire them to then go out and visit these places, which are dotted around the far reaches of the highlands. did you find with the pandemic it reframed your thinking of how to create the spaces? it galvanised our design, in a way, so we had to try to figure out ways that you could loop around and avoid passing over in tight spaces. because before that, that wasn't even part
6:50 am
of the considerations, doing one—way systems? yeah, no — one—way systems weren't really a thing. we tried to make it not obvious, though. you feel like you're exploring a castle, yeah. because who knows what 2025 will look like so, i guess, in some ways, the pandemic has future—proofed the design of the visitor attraction? definitely. forsome, though, it hasn't been about getting through the past few years but rather, a chance to start something new. my next stop requires a little carjourney out into the highlands where, from july to october, the heather grows wild and in abundance. 0h, hi, cat! hi! this is beautiful! oh, it's great, isn't it? so, what we're looking for is the nice blooming parts of the heather. so, what type of flavour does this give the gin? so, yeah, if you can smell it, it's quite a mossy, kind of earthy, subtle smell to it. but when you put it in gin and you distil it, it gives a lovely honeysuckle,
6:51 am
really quite subtle floral taste to the gin. daniel is collecting heather to make gin. it's one of the main locally—sourced botanicals that he uses. it all started as a hobby after moving back to inverness during lockdown. then, 13 months ago, he turned gin making into a business, with plans afoot to run experiences for visitors to make their own. so, one of the packages will be that you can hand forage the botanicals that you can take to the distillery and you can make your gin, your own blend of gin. well, with our heather in hand, it's time to head to his distillery a couple of miles away along loch ness. if you want to give me a wee hand? i would love to. thanks. so, it took us 86 attempts to get our launch product to where we want it to be. 86 attempts? 86, yeah. well, whilst we leave this to do its magic overnight, it'd be a shame not
6:52 am
to try it so, as they say in the business, here's one we made earlier. slainte mhath! i like that one. a5 we're so close to the loch, i can't live without at least saying hi to nessie. the loch stretches for 23 miles and contains more water than all the lakes in england and wales combined. lots of good hiding spots, then! there we go — we've just passed the red and green markers, which means we are officially on loch ness. so, given that you've done over 400 trips with tourists, all hunting for the loch ness monster, how many times have you seen nessie? gary, i think, claims to have seen nessie three times, but i always tell the guests that he hasn't seen nessie since he stopped drinking. laughs that was why you gave me the champagne at the start! exactly, — a better a chance to see the monster! you tried to trick me with those waves earlier. laughter
6:53 am
i'm not going to say there is or there isn't a creature in loch ness, but i have seen some strange phenomenon on the water — like the waves. you know, they really catch you out and you'll see a log on the surface travelling the wrong way against the current and you think, "how can that be? but there's lots of scientific explanations for it but, yeah, it can be quite interesting. asides from nessie, it's a beautiful trip past castle ruins through stunning landscapes — a perfect way to end my day trip to inverness. and as more tourists return, perhaps something else will, too. bagpipes skirl 0k, to finish this week, we're off to ilulissat, in northern greenland. a place where dramatic glaciers, spectacular icebergs and a rich inuit culture combine to make a once—in—a—lifetime bucket list destination. but this most northerly part of the world is on the brink of change in more ways than one, as keith wallace now
6:54 am
reports. lying inside the arctic circle is the coastal town of ilulissat. it's a place that lives up to its namesake, meaning �*iceberg' in greenlandic. so, this place is a unique place because of the icebergs. it gives me a thrill because i never know how the water is going to be and how the ice condition is going to be. amid the pandemic, tourism came to a standstill here. but now, it's booming again. this is my sixth season working in tourism. people come here to meet inuit.
6:55 am
they know us for being welcoming but also, they come here, obviously, for the ice and the northern lights and the whales. i see more and more people knowing about greenland. chuckles trump wanted to buy greenland back in 2019, which made a lot of people search about greenland. also because a lot more people are talking a lot more about climate change. we choose to come up here to ilulissat to see the big icebergs. we decided on greenland. a reason was to experience climate change at the hub i of it, so to speak. the nature is amazing. in austria, we also have glaciers, but not such an experience. the local population is less than 5000 but ten times more visitors are expected this summer.
6:56 am
2019 was the busiest tourist year ever in greenland. then came covid and everything just shut down completely. greenland closed its borders so you couldn't, as a tourist, you couldn't come here. and now, everything isjust even more busy than 2019. all the hotels are completely booked and cruise ships are back. tourism is growing in importance, but there are still challenges. towns are spread out and transport links are limited. but soon, three new airports will be built. everything will be new. a completely new airport. the future runway will allow passenger planes with 300 passengers to land and take off. you now, in the future, will be able to fly directly from copenhagen, frankfurt, london, new york city. local officials say they're making efforts to avoid over—tourism. we tried to learn from iceland,
6:57 am
so we often go there to learn what they have done, like, when it boomed. there is a glacier, named sermeq kujalleq, meaning the southern glacier. it is one of the most active and fastest—moving glaciers in the world. because of the ice here, there's rich life in the ocean. ilulissat is both a touristic city, but also a fisheries city, so it is very important for the local community. this unique place is a unesco world heritage site. but it's also seeing the impact of climate change. and that's explored at the icefjord centre — ilulissat�*s newest attraction. the arctic is warming faster than the rest of the planet. for centuries, the inuit have lived with the ice. but traditional ways
6:58 am
of life are also shifting. ane sofie and flemming own a sled dog tour business. we have 33 greenlandic sled dogs. it's a very unique kind of breed. they are adapted to being out in the nature and also, when it's very cold outside. it's just lovely to ride the sled dogs and also going for hunting orfishing. the snowmobile has taken over the task of the sled dogs.
6:59 am
well, that's all we have time for, sadly, on this week's show but here's what's coming up next week. there's more from cat as we retrace herjourney across the uk as the country prepared for a bumper summer of tourism following two years of travel restrictions i was thinking about how i could do something different. the afternoon tea taxi tour would be ideal because you're encapsulated in the back of the taxi. it's proved really popular. that sounds like a good one, so dojoin us then if you can. and don't forget in the meantime to check us out on social media and you can find all sorts of other great travel content from the bbc. until next time, from me, christa larwood, and the travel show team here in southern spain, it's goodbye.

truss. the impact of ther cost of living crisis on food banks — we report on the new challenges for the charities who are helping the most in need. nasa's artemis moon rocket faces a lengthy delay before its next launch attempt, after a second postponement. cheering and applause. dave grohl leads rock royalty at an emotianal concert to pay tribute to foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins, who died in march. the lionesses are going to the world cup. victory in austria sends england through to next summer's tournament in australia and new zealand. hello, good morning. we still have heavy rain around at the moment. it will clear away northwards, we will be left with a few showers, but also some warm sunshine. i will have more
7:02 am
details later on. it's sunday, the lith of september. our main story: the foreign secretary liz truss, who looks likely to become the next prime minister on tuesday, has given her clearest indication yet of how she plans to tackle the cost—of—living crisis. writing in the sunday telegraph, she says she would set out "immediate action" on energy bills. her opponent, the former chancellor rishi sunak, says "nothing is off the table" to ease the pressure on households. ben wright reports. a5 borisjohnson packs up his premiership, tomorrow we will find out who is moving in. the new prime minister will enter number ten on tuesday, and one issue will dominate their first days in office: soaring energy bills for households and businesses. liz truss is widely expected to win the tory leadership contest, but she hasn't spelt out precisely what she would do to help people pay their energy bills. writing in the sunday telegraph, she promises immediate help, saying:
7:03 am
average household energy bills are set to jump to around £3,500 next month, and liz truss says "sticking plasters" won't to solve the fundamental problem. the issue dominated the campaign, which saw liz truss and rishi sunak tear into each other�*s economic plans and the record of the government. the outgoing prime minister says it's time for the tories to unite. in the sunday express, borisjohnson has a message for his successor.
7:04 am
but labour's leader, sir keir starmer, 5aid neither rishi sunak nor liz truss had grasped the scale of the problems facing the country. by tuesday, we will have a new prime minister, facing formidable challenges — and their response to the energy bills crisis could define their time in office. ben wright, bbc news. our political correspondent tony bonsignore is in our london newsroom. good morning, tony. it will be a busy week for you and your colleagues in westminster, so map it out for us. what will we no, and when? ,., ., out for us. what will we no, and when? , ., ., ., out for us. what will we no, and when? ., , when? good morning. so, the big announcement, _ when? good morning. so, the big announcement, the _ when? good morning. so, the big announcement, the result- when? good morning. so, the big announcement, the result of- when? good morning. so, the big announcement, the result of the l announcement, the result of the common —— conservative party leadership contest, that will come tomorrow, so around monday lunchtime in central london. then tuesday, the first thing that will happen is that
7:05 am
borisjohnson will first thing that will happen is that boris johnson will travel to balmoral to see the queen, to tender his resignation. after that, the winner, most people are assuming that will be liz truss, will follow borisjohnson up to balmoral and will be asked to form a new government. you heard from my colleague and write that liz truss i5 colleague and write that liz truss is promising if she becomes prime minister it will happen in a week, so we can expect an announcement within days. i think what is really interesting from this article i have been reading this morning in the telegraph i5 been reading this morning in the telegraph is the fact she is splitting up the budget or fiscal event, or whatever you want to call it, which is about the broader reforms she has been talking about for weeks, tax cuts, cutting regulation, she has split that up from immediate action on energy bills and energy supplies. so for all the talk that she doesn't want handouts, we are going to get something, but we don't know what it will look like, whether it will be targeted, our broad, how big, whether it will be something to do with the energy, whether it will be something to do with benefits, or

7:07 am
another postponement. well, you know, i mean, it is what it is. we were here for the first one, that was scrapped too, and now to hear that this one got scrapped also, is a little disappointing, but what are you going to do? my son, he's ten, he's crying. he was very excited for his first launch. anyway, we'll be back, maybe not for this one, but at some point in the future. a large hydrogen leak was discovered when the rocket was being fuelled. technicians tried to fix it, but without success. we understood the hydrogen leaks that we had on monday, those are different than the leak that we had today. in terms of scale, one was in the same place, but today it was a different signature. and we understood the engine issue. so we were confident, coming into today, but as the administrator said, we're not going to launch until we're ready, which means we're going to step through these things.
7:08 am
that could be weeks or even months away. extensive repair work is needed, which could be done at the launchpad, but it's more likely the rocket will need to be rolled back into its engineering workshop. i know everyone's very excited to see this launch. i certainly am too. but it's very important that we get everything right, so that when this vehicle does have people on board we are really, truly good to go. this mission, if successful, will be nasa's first return to the moon in more than 50 years. the rocket will launch a small spacecraft and take it orbiting around the moon before its return to earth. it will be a test flight without anyone on board. but the next mission will have astronauts, with the ultimate aim of landing on the moon. for now, this complex machine will stay one the ground to be fixed. it means we might not see a third launch attempt before the middle of october at the earliest. helena wilkinson, bbc news.

a government minister in pakistan has said the floods which are devastating the country amount to the worst climate change disaster of recent times. ahsan iqbal 5aid pakistan doesn't have the resources to deal with the crisis, which has destroyed nearly 1.5 million homes and killed more than 1,200 people. nearly half of the country's crops have been destroyed. the home secretary has said the metropolitan police must learn from what she calls its "appalling mistakes" following a string of failings — including the murder of sarah everard by a serving officer. priti patel wrote to the force's new commissioner, sir mark rowley, and stressed the need for reform. sir mark will become the head of the service on september the 12th. people trying to cross the channel were delayed for up to six hours in queues at calais last night. the ferry operators dfds and p&0 apologised for the long waits at uk border control. p&0 5aid extra ships were put on for passengers who missed their allocated booking
7:10 am
because of the queues. sir paul mccartney and queen were among the acts who took part in a special concert at wembley last night, in memory of the foo fighters' drummer taylor hawkins, who died earlier this year. hawkins'16—year—old son, shane, played the drums with his dad's band, whose lead singer dave grohl paid his own emotional tribute. for those of you who knew him personally, you know that no—one else could make you smile or laugh or dance or sing like he could. and for those of you that admired him from afar, i am sure you've all felt the same thing. seeing and dance and

laugh and cry and scream, and make some noise, so he can hear us right now. we've got a long report from that concert which is absolutely phenomenal, if you want to stick around with us, we will play it again to you after 8am, we will be on the news channel by that time. it is well worth watching. here's darren with a look at this morning's weather. so, has somebody been a bright and early to get that beautiful photograph?— early to get that beautiful photograph? early to get that beautiful -hoto~ra-h? , ., , ., photograph? they have! it is a lovely picture. _ photograph? they have! it is a lovely picture, isn't _ photograph? they have! it is a lovely picture, isn't it? - photograph? they have! it is a lovely picture, isn't it? the - photograph? they have! it is a | lovely picture, isn't it? the sun coming up, and a bit of misting us in the airthis coming up, and a bit of misting us in the air this morning. it is that time of year, we are now into meteorological autumn, so the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting shorter and the nights are a bit cooler, and we're going to see a bit more of this mist and fog around. at the moment it is quite warm air we have across the uk. a
7:12 am
real mixture of either once again today, because there is going to be some sunshine coming through, some warmth, but we have rain at the moment, quite heavy rain in places. a lot of that were clear away, leaving us with showers. it is quite an extra. this is the driving feature of the weather, it is low pressure, it is sitting out to the west, it has been western areas which have seen most of the rain so far. this is the radar picture for the last few hours, you can see how we have had the spells of rain coming into england and wales, but heavy and persistent rain affecting northern ireland in south—western scotland, where it was very wet —— wet yesterday. but will move north, you can see the heavy rain moving north across scotland, leaving behind this zone across england and wales, where we will see more cloud and some showers. i decided that there is some sunshine, and a southerly breeze today, quite brisk in the south—west. that will bring us want them the sunshine. temperatures in northern ireland should be higher than they were yesterday in the sunshine, 19 or 20,
7:13 am
a bit cooler in northern scotland compared to yesterday. unlike yesterday, the highest temperatures will be across the eastern parts of england, likely to make mid—205. but a zone of garden showers developed into more persistent rain this evening and overnight. wet weather spilling north across many parts of the uk, heavy rain quite likely in places, and it will be a very warm night as well, with the southerly breezes, lots of cloud and rain, temperatures perhaps no lower than 16 or 17 degrees. low pressure continues to drive the weather across the uk into monday. it all depends where these bands of cloud and rain set, as to how the weather will look. the rain we have overnight moves north into northern scotland, then there will be a decent amount of sunshine. there will be some showers making out, heavy and sundry, more likely in the far south—east of england and in the south—western parts of southern wales, but quite a warm day again, temperatures 22 in the central belt of scotland, and making 25 and 26 in east anglia and the south—east.
7:14 am
looking further into next week, that main driver of the weather, but low pressure, is not moving very far. it is actually going to drift east across the uk, and maintain this mixed and unsettled theme. the winds will not be quite as strong as we had further into next week, the low moving right across, they will be some sunshine but also a lot of showers. this will be around the middle part of the week, heavy and thundery, and as the weeks goes on temperatures will gradually drop away to about 17— 21 celsius. back away to about 17- 21 celsius. back to ou away to about 17- 21 celsius. back to you too- _ away to about 17- 21 celsius. back to you too. awesome _ away to about 17- 21 celsius. back to you too. awesome well- away to about 17— 21 celsius. e—c< to you too. awesome well and away to about 17— 21 celsius. e—cc to you too. awesome well and truly here. thank you, darren. == to you too. awesome well and truly here. thank you, darren. food banks are warning that the cost of living crisis is creating a perfect storm in which more people to need help while donations are falling, and the organisations themselves face rising energy bills. many are also dealing with the extra challenge of trying to source food which can still be eaten by families who can't afford to put the oven on, as megan paterson reports.

pressures on them, what to do about what is going on in the nhs, what to do about small boats in the channel and migrants coming to this country, what to do about the economy, because the impact of energy price rises i5 because the impact of energy price rises is so cute on everything, huge inflation, warnings about recession, they have a pretty difficult info to be getting on with. we will see what their plans are, if they are willing to say when they hear live in the studio at nine a.m..— to say when they hear live in the studio at nine a.m.. good luck with that. studio at nine a.m.. good luck with that- good — studio at nine a.m.. good luck with that. good luck— studio at nine a.m.. good luck with that. good luck with _ studio at nine a.m.. good luck with that. good luck with the _ studio at nine a.m.. good luck with that. good luck with the whole i studio at nine a.m.. good luck with i that. good luck with the whole show. we're looking forward to watching it. what is your mission a sunday morning, giving you are sacrificing your weekends? filth. morning, giving you are sacrificing your weekends?— morning, giving you are sacrificing your weekends? oh, doesn't you too much of a hardship, _ your weekends? oh, doesn't you too much of a hardship, far— your weekends? oh, doesn't you too much of a hardship, far from - your weekends? oh, doesn't you too much of a hardship, far from it. i your weekends? oh, doesn't you too much of a hardship, far from it. why | much of a hardship, farfrom it. why feel very excited to be bringing this new show on. because there are so many massive issues that the public want answers to. we had sunday morning political programmes for decades, a really amazing history of all the incredible interviews that have happened down over the years. but, for me, it is a real honour and very exciting to be
7:27 am
starting this show now, because i think lots of people listening and watching us this morning, we know that, we know from our own inboxes and social media, people are really looking for politicians to say how are you going to help? and of course, also, our politicians going to tell us the truth? plenty to discuss, notjust this morning but every week on sunday at nine a.m.. great to talk to you. cheers, thank you so much. great to talk to you. cheers, thank you so much-— great to talk to you. cheers, thank you so much._ we're i great to talk to you. cheers, thank i you so much._ we're going you so much. good luck. we're going to say goodbye _ you so much. good luck. we're going to say goodbye on — you so much. good luck. we're going to say goodbye on bbc _ you so much. good luck. we're going to say goodbye on bbc one - you so much. good luck. we're going to say goodbye on bbc one in - you so much. good luck. we're going to say goodbye on bbc one in couplei to say goodbye on bbc one in couple of moments. we're here on the bbc news channel until 9:00 this morning. coming up before then: the duke and duchess are back in the uk for some official visits this week. we'll talk to royal author jennie bond about what to expect. a5 as ever there is a lot of discussion about what they will be doing here. we'll be talking women's football with the former england captain faye white after the lionesses booked their place at next year's world cup. music plays. and we'll take a look at some very special moments
7:28 am
from the taylor hawkins tribute concert at wembley last night, including his teenage son shane playing the drums for a performance with his dad's band, the foo fighters. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. thank you so, it is 7:28am. if you are here with us on the bbc news channel
7:29 am
having followed us from bbc one, thank you, good to have your company. if you're a regular breakfast viewer, you'll know we've been closely following the campaign to help find a cure for motor—neurone disease. last year the government pledged £50 million towards that cause. but researchers and people suffering with the disease have been frustrated that the money hasn't yet emerged, and say the process for applying is too complicated. well, this morning the sunday express reports that the prime minister is renewing his pledge to deliver that £50 million — and the funding will be ring—fenced. it comes as former the gloucester rugby union player ed slater returns to the pitch for the very first time this since his own mnd diagnosis. quite often, you know, certainly the spotlight i5 quite often, you know, certainly the spotlight is a bit on the people who are suffering from the disease, but the reality as it is just as difficult for wives, partners, parents, children. that is something we are learning about every day with our own family, and speaking to other people that are in the same

7:31 am
middle of their lives, it is so important that we try to find some interventions that can help with dealing with this disease. yes. interventions that can help with dealing with this disease. yes, the reiteration of _ dealing with this disease. yes, the reiteration of the _ dealing with this disease. yes, the reiteration of the government i reiteration of the government commitment, i think, reiteration of the government commitment, ithink, i5 reiteration of the government commitment, i think, is very good news. it is good news for the research community and above all thatis research community and above all that is good news for people with mnd and their families, that is good news for people with mnd and theirfamilies, and as add said, this disease doesn'tjust affect the individual. it affects a much wider sphere of friends and families as well. just much wider sphere of friends and families as well.— families as well. just explain for us, the government _ families as well. just explain for us, the government committed | families as well. just explain for. us, the government committed this money but they were all sorts of issues with getting access to it. what now saying they will do to make sure it can be used more effectively?— sure it can be used more effectivel ? ., . ., , effectively? one of the challenges was that the _ effectively? one of the challenges was that the government - effectively? one of the challenges was that the government funding l was that the government funding agencies wanted to use their existing processes, and that really would have meant that researchers would have meant that researchers would have meant that researchers would have had to submit over 100 distinct funding applications, so they would have been spending more
7:32 am
time on the paperwork than potentially on the research themselves. obviously we need to ensure that taxpayer money is used wisely, so after a lot of discussion, i think a positive compromise has been reached where the number of applications will be manageable, it will probably be a large single figures and low double figures over the next five years, and it will be for considerable chunks of money. it is notjust government funding going into this, the charities are collaborating together as well. we really believe that the joined up funding of the various funding agencies, whether it is charitable, whether it is i5 charitable, whether it is government, whether it is industry, needs to match the joined up thinking that we are expecting to see, getting the uk's best mnd researchers working together to understand this disease, but

7:36 am
good morning, chat on. the premier league is over on bbc one, so anybody who is interested i5 anybody who is interested is probably watching that. but we want to talk about this anyway. england's women are once again blazing a trail. , ., ., , ., ., , trail. they are. it was a tough test in some ways- _ trail. they are. it was a tough test in some ways. you _ trail. they are. it was a tough test in some ways. you have _ trail. they are. it was a tough test in some ways. you have to - trail. they are. it was a tough test in some ways. you have to hire i in some ways. you have to hire winning the european championships, this was theirfirst winning the european championships, this was their first match in austria yesterday, one point away from sealing the world cup qualification which dave done. it was mr back to reality moment, think about wembley, 90,000 fans during that incredible win over germany. then fewer than 3000 in austria. a couple of dozen england fans able to get tickets for that match, we will speak to faye what later about the work that still needs to be done to be able to grow the women's game, but england, at that european success this summer, will be out next year's success this summer, will be out next yea r�*s world cup success this summer, will be out next year's world cup finals in australia and new zealand. they beat austria 2—0 to book their place at the tournament with a game to spare. natalie pirks reports from wiener neustadt. at the euros, quarterfinalists
7:37 am
austria may have won new fans but england won the trophy, albeit fans of the lionesses were a rare breed in wiener neustadt. after the summer we have completely fallen in love with women's football. we are lucky, we live here so there might a few of us here, but i don't think there will be many. i would have preferred it to be in the big stadium in vienna i because i think the lionesses deserve a bigger crowd. i yes, this tiny stadium was a far cry from wembley, and that wasn't the only difference. unlike her super sub role in the euros, alessia russo was on from the start. her finish wasn't half bad either. but austria almost pounced immediately on a collector's item, a lucy bronze mistake. her team—mates rushed to her aid, hickelsberger—fuller fluffed her lines. some mistakes crept in. this was a let off. england needed to buck their ideas up fast, butjust eight minutes after she'd come onto the pitch, nikita parris took up the perfect position, georgia stanway found her with the perfect pass.
7:38 am
before the end, a special moment for the james family. lauren's debut made her and chelsea defender rhys the first brother and sister combo to both play for england. england's winning streak goes on, 70 goals injust nine world cup qualifiers. obviously we have an amazing summer. we're ready for australia. that wasn't england's best performance but fans won't mind a bit. they can now happily book their flights for the world cup. oh, how the european champions would love to add that trophy to their cabinet. natalie pirks, bbc news, austria. a gap is already growing between celtic and rangers at the top of the scottish premiership after celtic thrashed their arch—rivals in the first old firm derby of the season. leil abada scored twice and david turnbull was gifted the fourth in a 4—0 win at parkhead. it takes celtic five points clear at the top afterjust six games. cameron norrie's the last british player standing in the singles at the us open, as he made it through to the second week

ukrainian families living close to your�*s largest nuclear power plant so they are living in fear, despite the arrival of monitors from the international atomic energy agency. we reported earlier in the week, you will remember, inspectors have gone in in. both russia and ukraine have blamed each other for shelling in in. both russia and ukraine have blamed each otherfor shelling it. frank gardner has been to the nearby city of de brito, we will hear from him on the ground over there. he has been speaking to all kinds of people, those living in the vicinity of the nuclear plant, as well as those deeply concerned about what might happen there in the future. have a look. under police escort, more than 100 ukrainian civilians make it to safety, after enduring six months of fear and insecurity. just on the edge of zaporizhzhia city, we came across this convoy of around a0 vehicles streaming out of russian—held territory to the south. why are they leaving?
7:47 am
mostly because of the shelling — some of them say they simply do not want to live under russian occupation. for some, the emotion is overwhelming. they've left behind their friends and their livelihoods. but this family told me they had no choice. "school forced us," said artem. "they started threatening those children who refused to go to a russian school would be sent to a military academy." then there's the nearby nuclear power plant. un monitors are there now but it could still come under attack, so ukraine is taking precautions. potassium iodide tablets are being handed out to those who live nearby, a partial antidote in case there's a leak of radiation. annastacia is one of those who's been queueing up for the pills.
7:48 am
translation: it's scary at night when you hear the explosions. i we live high up on the eighth floor and we can hear them coming from nikopol and other towns. i am petrified. i want to save my life and protect my child. i met the mayor of enerhodar, the town next to the nuclear plant. he's in constant contact with those who still work there under russian control. are you confident that the iaea is getting a true picture of the situation at the power plant? translation: no, i really doubt the picture will be objective. - unfortunately, russia didn't allow access for the international media, so the story is being shaped by the russian occupiers. zaporizhzhia, the nearest city to the nuclear plant, does not feel like

it's in a war zone. life largely goes on here as normal. but everyone wants this war to end, and for the threat of a nuclear accident to be lifted. frank gardner, bbc news, zaporizhzhia, ukraine. frank gardner reporting there. now on breakfast — it's time for this week's edition of click, where we meet the comedians making the leap from social media to the stage at the edinburgh fringe festival. you're back, we're back, everybody�*s back, and this august, so was the edinburgh festival, the world—famous celebration of the arts that takes over the city
7:50 am
the whole month. it's a melting pot of theatre, music, dance and opera, and on the side, as its name suggests, is the edinburgh fringe. she's like, "please never speak to me again". laughter filled with experimental performers, innovative shows and — my favourite — comedy. one of the beautiful things about the fringe is that it takes over loads of venues in the city, including this one — the university of edinburgh's old medical school. and before we get stuck in to the comedy, we are going to talk about medicine — specifically medical waiting times. now, if you're waiting for surgery, it can feel like an eternity and we all know that waiting times are longer than anyone would want. but one nhs trust in england is trialling an artificial intelligence that might be able to manage waiting lists better and, ultimately, bring down waiting times, and marc cieslak has been to find out more.
7:51 am
lorna ashburn has been suffering from hip pain for three years. the consultation occurring here uses a new ai system which helps determine the level of risk lorna will be exposed to by undergoing surgery. i have arthritis in both hips, both knees. i am struggling. i've actually had to give up myjob. we saw that the cardiovascular history and the smoking history and the consequences of smoking were the biggest determinants of your outcome from developing a risk post—operatively. hopefully, i'm getting a hip replacement, which will take away the pain. and i want to be more active and get back into walking my dog longer, things like that. lorna's being treated at the wansbeck hospital in northumberland. she's been told it's a five—month wait for her surgery. this new ai model has been developed by orthopaedic surgeons justin green and mike reed
7:52 am
at the northumbria healthcare nhs trust. it measures risk associated with surgery. traditionally, factors such as previous heart attacks and strokes present significant risk factors for somebody about to undergo surgery. the ai model takes into account 220 different factors to work out each individual patient�*s risk. the patient comes for an operation, they bring with them a, you know, a lifetime of medical history as well. that's really important to the patient, but it takes a lot of determining, or a lot of understanding from a clinical perspective in terms of how that influences the outcome of their operation. what we're doing with this system is using artificial intelligence or machine learning to try and predict the outcome of surgery for patients. so, essentially, trying to predict what complications they may have and also to try and work out potentially the best site for them to have their surgery. staff shortages and ongoing fallout from the covid—i9 pandemic
7:53 am
have placed immense pressure on the nhs. cutting waiting lists is one of a growing list of priorities for the health service. we are currently working with hip and knee replacement, and that's partly because it's a very common operation. most patients don't require intensive care facilities when they — when they're having an operation, but some do, and it's important to work out which patients require which hospital when they have their surgery. and what we're working with with this machine learning algorithm is to try and improve that prediction. but with wider concerns about artificial intelligence and data privacy, are these technologies a good fit with healthcare? the bma has been concerned for a while about the use of data, particularly patient—identifiable data, being sold to third parties for profit—making reasons. it's — there is a tension in the system because you need to make sure that the different systems that you've got can intra—operate, so that one app can talk to another app so that the information can be shared usefully.
7:54 am
you've got to make sure that any new systems that get brought in respect the patient�*s privacy and respect the importance of the nhs�*s intra—operation being done in a secure way. northumbria's ai model is hosted in microsoft's azure cloud, using the company's existing machine learning infrastructure. the raw data entered into the system is anonymised. microsoft doesn't and cannot look at the data that's created in projects like this. the data belongs to the nhs and belongs to, you know, patients and clinicians. this technology could be applied to different types of surgery, and while it's likely artificial intelligence will have a greater role to play in medicine in the future, healthcare professionals stress that this is stilljust a tool to help inform decisions made by human caregivers. that was marc. laughter is the best medicine, they say — well, not the scientists — but if you're looking
7:55 am
for something to tickle your funny bone, the edinburgh fringe festival is a great place for treatment. the tickle of that hair? the most beautiful feeling i've had in my whole life. laughter but in the two years when live shows were cancelled, comedy has taken a turn. 0h, whoa! who are you? i'm julie from four months in the future. actually? a new type of comedian has arisen — one who films their own sketches and posts them on youtube, instagram and tiktok, and who sometimes could become a viral sensation. and tiktok actually has quite a big presence at the fringe this year. it's one of the main sponsors, it's invited several creators down to make tiktoks about the event and, in fact, some comedians on stage started their careers on tiktok. the question is — does that kind of funny work in front of a live audience? # but my sisterjust saw you on tinder...
7:56 am
# my friends made that account as a joke. tabby and chloe are the sugarcoated sisters. their reworked covers and original songs have won them 35 million views and several awards, and their most—viewed video is an original number about tabby�*s type i diabetes and chloe's bipolar disorder. # yourjokes are fatphobic # try to stay in range... # with my mood... # and my blood... # we are constantly adjusting # got no time to feeljudged # and the chronic with the chronic disease # is what i call it... and at the fringe, they made the leap to live with a specially—written show called bittersweet. and they told me that performing on social media and now on stage might help everyone to talk more openly and have a laugh. you are so brave to try beach waves with that face! laughter when i trained as an actress in musical theatre, one of my biggest insecurities was the fact that my type i diabetes would hold me back and, you know, i didn't want to have a pump because i thought, you know, if i was dancing, it would get in the way, or casting directors
7:57 am
would think i would be a hassle and they wouldn't want to hire me and blah, blah, blah. whereas now, it's like, i'm — i feel incredibly unapologetic about the fact that bipolar and diabetes is part of the deal. you know, that's — it informs our comedy, it informs the way we are as people, it informs our creativity. # call me crazy... # say i'm lazy. tiktok famously has a very effective algorithm, putting the right content in front of the right eyes and helping budding performers to find their audiences in record time. it's kind of levelled the playing field in the sense that if you have ten followers, you're much more likely to get a viral hit than on other platforms. because on instagram, if you had ten followers, no—one would see your videos. on tiktok, there's always a chance that it might go viral, that's the difference. so, you've come from very highly—produced videos where you can control exactly what they look like because you're editing them to, you know, to fractions of a second. now, you are performing live, one—take wonder, in front of an audience. those just seem so different. how have you found that difference?
7:58 am
there's so much scope for error. yeah. there is. and you can't. .. and there's so much stuff that's not in our control, you know? yeah. on tiktok, it is actually all in our control. with the live show, it's alive, you know? it's there for the hour and it's a living, changing organism. yeah, which is really exciting. good luck with the show. thank you so much for your time. it's been brilliant. oh, thank you, spencer. it's been really fun. thank you for having us. i also wanted to get the thoughts of a more traditional stand—up comic. it's such a dream come true to be on click. i love this show. that's just the weirdest thing i've ever heard — him saying that to me. when he's not devouring past episodes of his favourite tech programme, philwang is one of several huge comedians whose gigs have been filmed for streaming services — and in fact, he also kick—started his career using online video. my first solo show in 2013, ijust recorded it myself and put it on youtube because i thought, "well, no—one else is buying this, "so i might as well
7:59 am
put it somewhere". and also, because youtube was where i learned stand—up, really. i wonder whether we're going to see two types of comedian emerge from this. the comedians, like you, who have cut their teeth on live audience, but also, the comedians who built their craft around highly—produced videos who are giving much more of a performance, rather than an interaction with the audience. yeah, i think the way i see it is i don't think things like tiktok have separated comedians into two streams. i think itjust — i think it has provided a new way for comedians we wouldn't have seen otherwise come through. because they're two very different things, live stand—up, live comedy and making videos for online. and there are very few, as far as i can see, comedians who are good at the live stuff who can be equally good at the online stuff. do you think you could've built your career and your skills in this new world, rather than building them in front of live audiences, you know, gigging? frankly, i think i'm too lazy to have done well in this new model because it takes so much, you know, it takes so much impetus
8:00 am
and so much discipline. these people, you know, they're notjust going on tiktok and making silly videos. they're planning, they're writing, they're performing, they're taking many takes, they're editing the — they're, you know, they're actors, writers, directors, producers, all in one, you know? and the very successful ones are doing it a lot. just because they're funny on stage doesn't mean comedians are always funny offstage, but if you want to know why this is happening, i'll post the full thing on social media for you. and that's it for the short cut of this week's click. the full—length version is on iplayer and it's waiting for you right now. this has been the first full edinburgh fringe for a couple of years, and it's been wonderful to be back. next week, we're going to be at the massive berlin tech show ifa — first time that's been on for a couple of years, too, and i cannot wait. so, thanks for watching and i'll see you in berlin.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and rogerjohnson. our headlines today... a day ahead of the announcement of the next prime minister — a commitment to immediate action on energy bills from front runner liz truss nasa's artemis moon rocket faces a lengthy delay before its next launch attempt — after a second postponement. cheering. # it's times like these, you give, you get — dave grohl leads rock royalty at an emotianal concert to pay

8:03 am
as borisjohnson packs up his premiership, tomorrow we will find out who is moving in. the new prime minister will enter number ten on tuesday, and one issue will dominate their first days in office: soaring energy bills for households and businesses. liz truss is widely expected to win the tory leadership contest, but she hasn't spelt out precisely what she would do to help people pay their energy bills. writing in the sunday telegraph, she promises immediate help, saying... average household energy bills are set to jump to around £3,500 next month, and liz truss says "sticking plasters" won't to solve the
8:04 am
fundamental problem. the issue dominated the campaign, which saw liz truss and rishi sunak tear into each other�*s economic plans and the record of the government. the outgoing prime minister says it's time for the tories to unite. in the sunday express, borisjohnson has a message for his successor. but labour's leader, sir keir starmer, said neither rishi sunak nor liz truss had grasped the scale of the problems facing the country. by tuesday, we will have a new prime minister, facing formidable challenges — and their response to the energy bills crisis could define their time in office. ben wright, bbc news.

those are different than the leak that we had today. in terms of scale, one was in the same place, but today it was a different signature. and we understood the engine issue. so we were confident, coming into today, but as the administrator said, we're not going to launch until we're ready, which means we're going to step through these things. that could be weeks or even months away. extensive repair work is needed, which could be done at the launchpad, but it's more likely the rocket will need to be rolled back into its engineering workshop. i know everyone's very excited to see this launch. i certainly am too. but it's very important that we get everything right, so that when this vehicle does have people on board we are really, truly good to go. this mission, if successful, will be nasa's first return to the moon in more than 50 years. the rocket will launch a small spacecraft and take it orbiting around the moon before its return to earth. it will be a test flight
8:09 am
without anyone on board. but the next mission will have astronauts, with the ultimate aim of landing on the moon. for now, this complex machine will stay on the ground to be fixed. it means we might not see a third launch attempt before the middle of october at the earliest. helena wilkinson, bbc news. a government minister in pakistan has said the floods which are devastating the country amount to the worst climate change disaster of recent times. ahsan iqbal said pakistan doesn't have the resources to deal with the crisis — which has destroyed nearly one and a half million homes and killed more than 1,200 people. nearly half of the country's crops have been destroyed. the home secretary has said the metropolitan police must learn from what she calls its "appalling mistakes" — following a string of failings, including the murder of sarah everard by a serving officer. priti patel wrote to the force's new commissioner, sir mark rowley — stressing the need for reform.
8:10 am
laura trant has more. sarah everard's murder was a pivotal point in the public�*s perception of policing. the 33—year—old was kidnapped in south london on 3 march last year as she was walking home from a friend's house. her body was found a week later. met police officer wayne couzens pleaded guilty to her murder and was sentenced to a whole life term. in her three—page letter to the incoming met police chief, home secretary priti patel wrote about several high profile incidents that have affected public confidence and trust in police. as well as sarah everard, priti patel referred to strip—searches of children and the vetting of police officers. former counter terrorism policing chief mark rowley will replace dame cressida dick as met chief, following her resignation earlier this year. she quit as the country's most
8:11 am
senior police officer after criticism over the handling of a number of scandals involving met police officers. the met's confidence rating is the lowest it has ever been in 200 years. a9% on the last day when cressida dick was in charge of the metropolitan police. so there's a huge challenge there. i think what we need now is to get behind the metropolitan police and the new leadership of mark rowley and make sure we make real changes to the organisation. i'm afraid, if you look the history, certainly in the last five years, it has been absolutely appalling. priti patel, who is likely to be replaced as home secretary, once either liz truss or rishi sunak take over as prime minister, also told the incoming met police chief that the force was failing to get the basics right and that extensive reform was required. the new head of the met police,
8:12 am
mark rowley, will take over on the 12th of this month. laura trant, bbc news. people trying to cross the channel were delayed for up to six hours in queues at calais last night. the ferry operators dfds and p&0 apologised for the long waits at uk border control. p&0 said extra ships were put on for passengers who missed their allocated booking because of the queues. the queen couldn't make it this year, but the braemar gathering still attracted crowds from across the globe. they enjoyed traditional highland games like the caber toss, hammer throw and tug—o—war. the queen couldn't make her usual appearance because of ongoing mobility issues — but the action was live streamed online so she was able to watch from the comfort of balmoral. it is 12 minutes past eight on sunday morning.

when the new prime minister goes into downing street on tuesday, the most urgent issue they'll face is the cost of living crisis. we all know our household bills are set to rocket but spiralling energy prices could also force the closure of vital charities. hugh caswell went to visit a community centre in nottingham which is facing a gas and electricity bill of £85,000. the lenton centre has been operated as a charity since 200a. it runs all sorts of classes and day sessions, but the pool in particular eats up a lot of energy. as you can see, it's quite a large swimming pool and the water's got to be kept at a temperature of 30 degrees, 2a hours a day, so the heating doesn't get switched off. the centre says it can't raise its prices because those who use it are disadvantaged and wouldn't be able to afford it. but the latest forecast for the centre's energy bills is eyewatering. and balancing the books is looking harder by the day. we were paying £25,000 for the gas and electricity combined last year.
8:14 am
we look at the costs now for the same use, that is well over £85,000. so i've got a shortfall of £60,000. for groups that use the centre, the thought of it closing is difficult to take. where else would we find a community, a small community leisure centre with access to the gym and swim? there really doesn't feel if we're going to do our primary aim because other swimming pools are shutting down as well. but this suits our purpose. at the moment, we can't imagine it. both candidates for prime minister have signalled there will be more help with energy costs if they're elected. but managers at the lenton centre say if they don't get either a huge increase in income or a drastic change to their bills, they could have to make a decision on closure within months. hugh caswell, bbc news. just one of the organisation is facing a tough time.

8:23 am
the weather has been across the uk. these were the extremes yesterday and in the sunshine and temperatures in norfolk reached 26 degrees but in the western isles there was 69 millimetres of rain yesterday, almost three inches. that sort of weather. wet weather around at the moment across many parts of the country moving northwards, followed by showers but again some more sunshine and we will see temperatures reaching 26 degrees in some places. the reason for the differences across the uk is the area of low pressure swirling to the west of us and we see rain moving north across the uk and this is the radar picture over the past few hours and we've seen wet weather in northern ireland and the south of scotland. we find this heavier rain moving north across scotland, clearing from northern ireland quickly, leaving behind this trail of cloud and there may be some heavy
8:24 am
showers across england and wales but lots of places will be dry this afternoon with sunshine. this southerly breeze, brisk in the south—west, drawing in warm air so you get sunshine and it will feel pleasant, temperatures in northern ireland higher than yesterday in the sunshine, rain in northern scotland, temperatures not as high yesterday, highest temperatures in eastern england. this evening and overnight we find the cloud in england and wales thickening and wet weather returns, some heavy rain pushing north into northern ireland, into scotland, a lot of cloud, that southerly breeze means it will be a one night, temperatures in the south of the uk no lower than 16 or 17. we have low pressure dominating the weather as we head into the early part of the week, we have these areas of thicker cloud and rain. the rain moves away on monday
8:25 am
morning. we have a chunk of dry weather. some short showers breaking out. and later across south wales. one in the sunshine. despite that southerly breeze and the brisk winds, temperatures 22 degrees in the central belt, 26 in the south—east. low pressure dominating into the weekend, through the weekend, the centre of low pressure drifting east over the uk meaning the wind direction will change and the wind direction will change and the wind direction will change and the wind may drop but we keep this unsettled weather going, someone sunshine but heavy showers perhaps thundering around the middle of the week and that will gradually turn cooler. if there is one thing you watch today it's this next film. it features some of the worlds most famous artists.

hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and rogerjohnson. a former ghurka who lost both legs while serving in afghanistan is aiming to become the first above—the—knee double amputee to climb mount everest. hari budha magar was originally planning to scale the peak four years ago, but first he had to overturn a ban
8:32 am
which the nepalese authorities had placed on climbers with certain disabilities. james dunn went to meet him. he's already conquered some of the world's highest peaks. he's flying to nepal for a training climb on the big one — everest. i wanted to climb since my childhood. even in the army. i came as an army and an army i wanted to do, but i couldn't able to do that. hari trained as a gurkha but lost his legs when he stepped on an improvised explosive device in 2010. we pass some poppy fields and pass them irrigation ditches and suddenly it went — bang. then, yeah, my life changed forever. he got his life back on track through sport — skiing, golfing, cycling, and now climbing.
8:33 am
after that, iwill spend most of my life on wheelchair. later, i start taking sports and adventure. and that's what gave me confidence back. his everest goal was derailed when nepal banned double amputees from climbing the mountain in 2017. but he joined forces with other climbers to overturn the ruling. you can't take someone's right even they can able to do or not, right? you can't take away someone's right whether their whatever, their background, their religion, theirfaith, whatever it is, you just can't. now, back on track, he's training with krishna, the former chief mountain instructor to the sas. and to conquer everest, he'll need to adapt. i take this one out and just connect it here. we're just going to put some heating circuits in my stop. in my circuits.
8:34 am
i'm very close to the ground so i can lift to my knees to move forward. so it's more about upper body strength. it will take him three times as long as other climbers to summit everest, but he's confident he'll achieve it. simply, we have got a choice. how we are going to live our life. it doesn't really matter about where we are from, who we are now. it's about what we do tomorrow. that's what it will become tomorrow. it is about living life in full and making a difference. the hardest part now will be raising the £300,000 he needs to climb the mountain. but nothing's beaten him yet. this won't either. that was james dunn reporting. that is amazing. we wish him all the best. and we will of course follow his progress. now, the latest sports news.
8:35 am
the first match for england's women yesterday against austria. england's lionesses, the european football champions, have now qualified for next year's women's world cup. they beat austria 2—0 to book their place at the tournament with a game to spare. there has been so much talk about england peaking at this particular time. they did that in the euros, and now can they build towards what could be a fantastic world cup? natalie pirks reports from veener noyshtad. at the euros, quarterfinalists austria may have won new fans but england won the trophy, albeit fans of the lionesses were a rare breed in wiener neustadt. after the summer we have completely fallen in love with women's football. we are lucky, we live here so there might a few of us here, but i don't think there will be many. i would have preferred it to be in the big stadium in vienna because i think the lionesses deserve a bigger crowd. yes, this tiny stadium was a far cry from wembley,
8:36 am
and that wasn't the only difference. unlike her super sub role in the euros, alessia russo was on from the start. her finish wasn't half bad either. but austria almost pounced immediately on a collector's item, a lucy bronze mistake. her team—mates rushed to her aid, hickelsberger—fuller fluffed her lines. some mistakes crept in. this was a let off. england needed to buck their ideas up fast, butjust eight minutes after she'd come onto the pitch, nikita parris took up the perfect position, georgia stanway found her with the perfect pass. england 's winning street goes on. we had an amazing summer, but you have to move on quite quickly, and now to have that sealed off and ready to go, we are excited for australia. ready to go, we are excited for australia-— ready to go, we are excited for australia. . . , �* ., �* , australia. that wasn't england 's best performance, _ australia. that wasn't england 's best performance, but _ australia. that wasn't england 's best performance, but the - australia. that wasn't england 's best performance, but the fans | australia. that wasn't england 's - best performance, but the fans won't mind and they will happily book their flights mind and they will happily book theirflights to the mind and they will happily book their flights to the world cup. 0h, their flights to the world cup. oh, how the european champions would love to add that trophy to their
8:37 am
cabinet. just a couple of dozen england fans i could get into the stadium in austria yesterday. under 3000 watching that match in total. we are joined now by former england captain faye white. good morning, thank you for being with us. so much to talk about around that performance. the high, of course, winning the euros, and then we have seen those high—profile retirements ofjill scott and ellen white and they have been injury issues, too. what did you make of their wind over austria yesterday? it was a good enough performance to get thejob done it was a good enough performance to get the job done after what has been a massive summer. the players have obviously gone away elated after winning, and then having some downtime before they get back into a busy pre—season for their clubs. i'm sure they will have come back into
8:38 am
camp at different levels of fitness, so it could have been a banana skin, because we know austria did brilliantly in the euros themselves with close games in the last qualifying game at home, which was 1-0. qualifying game at home, which was i—0. so qualifying game at home, which was 1-0. so it qualifying game at home, which was i—0. so it was always going to be a tough game, but one that i think the lioness is expected to wind. they got the job done and put in a good performance, good enough to kill off what is a difficult team.— what is a difficult team. inevitably after winning _ what is a difficult team. inevitably after winning the _ what is a difficult team. inevitably after winning the euros _ what is a difficult team. inevitably after winning the euros there - what is a difficult team. inevitably after winning the euros there is i after winning the euros there is going to be an expectation for england to do well at the world cup next year, and frankly, to even wind it. how do you rate their chances next summer?— it. how do you rate their chances next summer? , , :, ~ :, next summer? yes, well, you know, it is a next trophy _ next summer? yes, well, you know, it is a next trophy as _ next summer? yes, well, you know, it is a next trophy as a _ next summer? yes, well, you know, it is a next trophy as a player _ next summer? yes, well, you know, it is a next trophy as a player you - is a next trophy as a player you will be eyeing up. i remember lucy the day after winning the european champions, she said it's the world cup next. i'm sure the players believe they are good enough to take on the likes of america. of italy, we have got thatjuicy tight friendly on october seven at a
8:39 am
sold—out wembley again, so it is the next thing. we got to the semifinals in 2019, so the players will believe that there is no limit now. but it is about putting the performances in and having a target on your back, so other teams will raise their standards at against the european champions. it will be a new environment, a new field for the players to handle that.— players to handle that. yes, the match against _ players to handle that. yes, the match against the _ players to handle that. yes, the match against the us _ players to handle that. yes, the match against the us will - players to handle that. yes, the match against the us will be - match against the us will be fascinating next month. you will know your former team—mate karen carney is leading a review into women's football in england with the aim to build on the success that we saw in the summer, both at the grassroots level, and at an elite level. what are the most pressing things that need to be addressed, do you think? things that need to be addressed, do ou think? . . things that need to be addressed, do ou think? , , ., :, you think? yes, well it is great to see she has _ you think? yes, well it is great to see she has been _ you think? yes, well it is great to see she has been given _ you think? yes, well it is great to see she has been given that - you think? yes, well it is great to see she has been given that role. j see she has been given that role. she is immersed in the game and she knows as a player what the challenges have been, not only as players at clubs, now she has long —— is looking from a spectator point of view as well. it is about making
8:40 am
sure the difference between the wsl clubs in their budgets, the facilities in their staffing, making sure it is sustainable as this game grows, as we see more fans. i'm sure if you look at some of the clubs, they don't even own the ground they play off. so it is not ideal. what are the next steps? what is the next phase we can put forward as far as the infrastructure for clubs, and then at grass roots, that relies heavily on volunteers. that needs to be looked at, and how we signpost young girls tojoin be looked at, and how we signpost young girls to join the team. and we talked about schools. for many years we have talked about how young girls need the opportunity to get to play and have that culture shift in our mindset, i suppose, and have that culture shift in our mindset, isuppose, at and have that culture shift in our mindset, i suppose, at primary school, to have that opportunity at a young age. not wait till secondary school when those young girls have already may be started looking to come out of sport because of low
8:41 am
self esteem, and so on when they are in their mid teens. they need to get that bug from playing team sports in general, i think, that bug from playing team sports in general, ithink, at that bug from playing team sports in general, i think, at primary school. absolutely. 63% of girls playing football in pe at the moment, you reference that and we saw that in an open letter to the conservative party. the leadership contenders in particular got that letter from the england team following the euros success, about role models and visibility, and about getting crowds in as well. just briefly on that point, because we saw those incredible crowds for england this summer, and the 90,000 at wembley, but back to 3000 in austria last night and we know that the wsl have smaller grounds. arsenal have talked about their frustrations around that. £49,000 for a season ticket to watch chelsea. —— £49. it is a gap that really needs to be closed. how important is it to get as many women's matches on at bigger grounds
8:42 am
as we can, especially in the wsl? yes, i think we will see over this season the demand, the number of new spectators that want to watch the women's game, and i think it is about making that easy and accessible for new fans. might not have that devotion to follow the club all around the country at all the games, but those young families who want to just go and see a one—off game and get that hooked almost to then come and watch repeated wsl games, it needs to be easy. but i think the selling point of the women's game is the fact that those tickets are affordable, that you can get up close and see those players and they are relatable, and that's what we want to keep. we would not like to see the prices escalate, especially with the cost of living crisis. make it easy, affordable, have games put on at the bigger grounds. that should be a priority and that will be covered by
8:43 am
demand, really. fans getting out there and putting bums on seats and watching the women's game. absolutely. prices will be important forfamilies, which absolutely. prices will be important for families, which we are seeing so much at these women's games in particular. thank you forjoining us this morning. cameron norrie's the last british player standing in the singles at the us open, as he made it through to the second week in new york for the first time in his career. the wimbledon semi—finalist, seeded seventh, beat denmark's holger rune in straight sets and will now play the russian ninth seed andrey rublev in the last 16. laura scott reports. cameron norrie wasn't leaving anything to chance, whether in his suncream application or his approach to his third round match. keeping his cool was key. rising above the antics of young rune. the dane accusing him of gamesmanship for doing this. deliberate? cameron norrie said no.
8:44 am
with no fuss, norrie made his way to the last 16 here for the first time, still without dropping a set. i was able to feel a lot more relaxed today and kind of use that momentum from those matches to get through those tough ones where i didn't really play great to playing a lot better today, and i think that is great with the setting, you can work your way more into the tournament than going out there and having to play a top seed early on. hoping tojoin the british number one, the british number two. a clash of contrasting styles, the diminutive dan evans against the mighty marin cilic. a 22 minute tie—break finally clinched by the croatian. another tie—break. evans scored no points for acrobatics, but got the prize. one set apiece. two and half hours of play
8:45 am
took its toll on his toes, and marin cilic found a foothold, marching onto the next round. that means that for the third grand slam in a row, cameron norrie is the last british player standing in the singles. next he plays the russian, andrey rublev, with just two seeding spots separating them, cameron norrie knows he will need to be aggressive if he is to climb his way to the quarter—finals. laura scott, bbc news, new york. a great summer that cameron norrie is having. the last four at wimbledon, and now into that second week at the us open. a player that very few thought was going to be a top 30 or top 40 player, and here he is, really holding his own at a grand slam. is, really holding his own at a grand slam-— is, really holding his own at a grand slam. , . , :, grand slam. fingers crossed for him. loads of people _ grand slam. fingers crossed for him. loads of people are _ grand slam. fingers crossed for him. loads of people are returning - grand slam. fingers crossed for him. loads of people are returning to - loads of people are returning to school tomorrow or next week, if they haven't gone back already. how
8:46 am
is the weather looking for all of that, darren? it isa it is a good week to go back with some rain in the forecast. the sort of thing we are seeing at the moment. this was a picture taken from north yorkshire. not a very promising start to the day here with cloud and outbreaks of rain and we have started the day with quite a bit of rain around the uk. it is moving north, tending to move away and leaving us with some sunshine, warm sunshine, and may be a few showers through the rest of the day. low pressure continues to just spin around to the west of the uk. nowhere to go, and around it we are seeing areas of thicker cloud that have been bringing the rain. it has been a particularly wet to start again to northern ireland and south—west scotland, where we had a lot of rain yesterday. rain across some other parts of england and wales. as you can see, it is moving north so the wetter weather clears from northern ireland, moves north across scotland and it will stop in the far north of the country. then
8:47 am
we are left with a zone of cloud that will bring us the chance of heavy showers. some sunshine on either side of that as well. and we have a southerly breeze which will be fairly brisk in the south—west and into some western parts of wales. it is giving us a bit of warmth. temperatures in northern ireland a few degrees higher than yesterday, could reach 20 celsius. cooler in the far north of scotland with the rain hanging around. highest temperature is in eastern england, up to 26 ounces, so warm. that zone of cloud will thicken up through this evening, bringing some rain and we have another belt of rain and we have another belt of rain pushing and behind that. again, everything getting blown north across the uk. heavy bursts for many. east anglia and the south—east looks generally dry. it will be a warm night with temperatures in southern areas up to 17 celsius. heading into the new week, and we still have that really big area of low pressure just aimlessly wandering around there to the rest of the uk. more isobars, stronger
8:48 am
wind picking up during the course of tomorrow. that will push the rain away fairly quickly from northern england, and up into scotland. many places will be dry tomorrow with one elite macro some warm sunshine. warm in the sunshine, up to 22 celsius in the central belt of scotland. and mid 205 across ea5t scotland. and mid 205 across east anglia and the south—east. the low pressure wonders eastwards across the uk and into next week, maintaining a very mixed picture across the uk. there will be some sunshine around, but quite a few showers and those could be heavy and thundery around the middle of the week, and it gradually does turn a bit cooler. it's time for a rummage around in the archives as we go back in time with bbc rewind. to mark the bbc�*s centenary, each region across the uk has put some of their biggest stories and interviews online for you to watch.
8:49 am
this week we're in the south of england, a home for innovators and inventors, as tom hepworth reports. turn left destination ahead. turn right. you have arrived i at your destination. well, they say the journey is more important. but while maps have helped us navigate for centuries, satnav does it all for you. it sounds a little bit james bond—ish, doesn't it? chris coles, an inventor from salisbury, showed us his take on the technology in 1990. this is a completely new consumer product revolution in the same way as the audio cassette and the video cassette. this map cassette means people, for the first time ever, will be always able to know where they are on a map. developing technology, rather than coming up with something new can pay dividends in the wake of the fuel crisis the previous decade.
8:50 am
a team on the isle of wight was experimenting with wind power in 1981. they're hoping to build machines with blades 100 yards high and calculate that 100 or so could generate as much electricity as a coal or oil— fired power station. surely windmills like that one are going to be terribly unsightly, aren't they stuck offshore somewhere? well, as a matter of opinion, i we think they're rather pretty. they'd be well out of sight. they'd be 15 kilometres or so out of sight. - in 1994, we reported on one of the big engineering problems facing the nation. yes, the supermarket trolley will with a mind of its own. the device is a bar, the brainchild of a helicopter pilot. when it's pressed, the front wheels lock into a straight line so the trolley can be steered. orcan it? we asked this randomly selected shopper to test it for us. for the first time ever, margaret brooker finds she is the mistress of her shopping trolley. oh, no. i think going around corners is very much easier for anybody.
8:51 am
the single biggest technological advances in our lifetimes have been the development of computers and the internet. the census office in titchfield captures a moment in time in more ways than one in 1981. spot the difference a decade before. ibm launched its computerfor small businesses that year and already had an eye on the future. i firmly believe that within our lifetimes, a large number of families are going to be using computers directly from their homes. jeanie hoskins' business in surrey was also ahead of its time. her celebrity information service satisfying a fascination with the rich and famous in a pre—internet age. i publish four bulletins a week, which announce their arrival in london. who they are, where they're staying,
8:52 am
what they're doing. greetings. it's bob t. bob tomaszewski was a tech pioneer. it's cold. in 1994, we filmed bob's home automation system. you can control sprinklers, curtains, opening and closing washing machine, coffee percolator. you could switch on the radio, the tv, anything that's electrical can be switched on by the system. now, don't blind me with science, but tell me very simply how it works. it works on a digital code that is sent down the mains to a module, and then that module interrupts or puts electricity onto the appliance. while automation had yet to reach many british factories in 1973, david money, who ran a hairdressing salon in poole, was experimenting with robots. it makes economic sense from the point of view that the shampoo machine doesn't

against meghan, and harry to an extent. they will always have their army of supporters. but they are here to support their charities which is laudable, and it is a youth world leaders conference in manchester that they are going to first. meghan is going to make a keynote speech there, and then they are off to dusseldorf as it is one year out from the invictus games and harry will attend a press conference there but not answer any questions. and then they are back in london on thursday for another charity very close to harry 's hart, the well child awards, on occasion he broke down a couple of years ago when he came a father himself and in making his speech, he said i feel so came a father himself and in making his speech, he said ifeel so much now how lucky we are to have a healthy child and others don't. so quite an emotional one for him. will they have any time, or any inclination, to see any members of harry 's inclination, to see any members of harry '5 family, i really don't know. harry 's family, i really don't know. :, . , , harry 's family, i really don't know. :, ., , , ,. ., , know. nothing has been scheduled as

on about it. they have got a wonderful life in california. they have got 16 bathrooms, for goodness' sake. who needs 16 bathrooms question what they have surely got all they ever wanted and yet they keep on whingeing, and i think a lot of people in britain think they should maybe shut up. is it inevitable _ should maybe shut up. is it inevitable this _ should maybe shut up. is it inevitable this will - should maybe shut up. is it inevitable this will continue, given the fact they now have this income generating life, where they have to do these podcasts and the documentaries. inevitably they will keep talking because they have to keep talking because they have to keep promoting stuff. that keep talking because they have to keep promoting stuff.— keep talking because they have to keep promoting stuff. that is their brand, keep promoting stuff. that is their brand. their _ keep promoting stuff. that is their brand, their brand _ keep promoting stuff. that is their brand, their brand is _ keep promoting stuff. that is their brand, their brand is being - keep promoting stuff. that is their brand, their brand is being royal, | brand, their brand is being royal, in my view. meghan has only flirted with the idea of being royal, and i don't know why she calls herself a duchess if she found the whole thing so despicable. but they have signed these multi—million dollar deals with netflix and big organisations like that so they want their pound of flesh. i imagine, although the british press may be given very limited access to them over here,
