2:49 pm
it's the latest setback for the 28—year—old who hasn't played a test since february 2021. he returned to play white—ball cricket for england earlier this year but had to return early from a spell in the indian premier league after suffering further discomfort in his elbow. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. top british surfers and industry leaders are calling on the biggest global manufacturers of surfboards to do more to make the sport sustainable. most boards are made from toxic chemicals, while wetsuits use oil—based products that aren't biodegradable. and it's estimated that the average surfer has a 50 percent bigger carbon footprint than the average person. claire marshall reports. this is seven—times uk champion surfer lucy campbell. she's at the top of her game. training for the olympics, courted by global brands who understand the power of her image and how it
2:50 pm
could sell their products. but she's aware of the darker side of surfing, the carbon impact of travelling to find that perfect wave and that message of mass consumption. she's calling on the industry to clean up its act. it's often hard to turn down a big paycheque, if they're a brand that isn't... isn't sustainable, but it's definitely more worthwhile in the long run. you've done that, really? yeah, yeah, ioo%. you do want to encourage people to get outdoors, but at the same time, at what cost to the planet? there's a cost from the toxic materials used in manufacturing. paul blacker is one of the uk's top surfboard shapers. over 35 years, he's crafted around 5,000 boards. oh, my god, right in my eyes. yeah, if it gets in your eyes, it's really bad. and you can see it all, the dust. yeah. and that's polyurethane, it's not a great material. no, it's all petrochemical. yeah. everything comes from
2:51 pm
the petrochemical industry these days, everything. then there's the waste. this was just a fraction of the thousands of beginners boards dumped on uk beaches last summer. it's been used in the sea for a matter of hours before it's snapped and ended up as waste. it's really disheartening to see this amount of waste come forward. also adding to the damage done by the industry are wet suits. it's estimated that around a million are thrown away globally each year. derived from oil, neoprene is so durable it's been used to line landfill. we were shown a project which aims for the first time to turn old wet suits into new ones. we've taken the 1,000 wet suits that were destined for landfill, send them off to bulgaria and they've been repurposed into a foam wetsuit—like material that we are now testing in some cold water products this autumn. some of the press that's coming out around the toxicity of neoprene is extreme, to say the least.
2:52 pm
horrendous. so if you knew that, why wouldn't you change? the surf industry members association says... and it needs to be done quickly. more than 35—million people are now riding the waves and that number is swelling all the time. clare marshall, bbc news. cannes is preparing for the opening ceremonies of the 76th edition of its film festival. it's known for the red carpet glamour and competitive nature, but this year security has been stepped up, with disruption by protesters against france's pension reforms expected. police in the town have temporarily banned all protests. tom brook has more on the significance of the festival.

it is the one moment in the year when the whole movie industry comes together, other than the oscars and it is a wonderful display of firms from all over the world. it showcases international cinema but commercial cinema. the hollywood studio warner brothers is here this yearfor studio warner brothers is here this year for the studio warner brothers is here this yearfor the indiana jones studio warner brothers is here this year for the indiana jones sequel, it is a combination of high and low, or the content on display. the big question will be if people get to see these films given what is going on in the movie business. it is an inspiring and vibrant event. what inspiring and vibrant event. what should we be _ inspiring and vibrant event. what should we be looking _ inspiring and vibrant event. w�*ué�*ii should we be looking for? am inspiring and vibrant event. “iii"iegt should we be looking for? am i right in saying johnny depp“s new film is one of the opening night movies? that is right, here i am, i got out of bed to put this on to go to a press screening ofjohnny depp“s new film. it is set in the 18th century, he plays the french king louis xv,
2:54 pm
the film is directed by the franco algerian actor and film—maker, and she plays opposite him. she is a working—class woman who gets herself into the courts, they have a love affair and actually it was better than i thought it was going to be. johnny depp certainly does a fine job, he doesn't talk that much, he does speak in french and it was better than i thought. it had a redeeming sweet end to it, but the important thing about this film is will it resurrect his career? he has been entangled in highly publicised legal battles with his ex—wife amber heard and it has sidelined him and almost cancelled him in the business. my feeling is if this film does go over well in cannes, he will start to rehabilitate himself. he just got signed on again by the french fashion brand dior and he is making a film as a director, he had al pacino starring in a film about the italian artist model yarney.

2:57 pm
on the lighter side. so temperatures for many around the mid—teens. so scattered showers mainly focused across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland will gradually fade away through the evening hours. and then overnight, a legacy of some cloud in places. i think for most of us it will be milder than the nightjust gone. still quite chilly, though, for the likes of northeast scotland and the northern isles here, just two—three celsius in places tomorrow. then high pressure still on the scene. we do have this weather frontjust working around the top of the high that's going to bring a bit more cloud later to parts of northern ireland. and scotland will see some outbreaks of rain arriving too, together with some brisk winds. but actually for much of the uk it will be a dry and fine day with some sunshine and a partial build up of cloud. and for many of us, temperatures getting up into the mid—teens in some of the warmest spots, 17, 18 celsius possible looking at further out. then on thursday, high pressure still sticking around. so when a cold front does head our way, it's not
2:58 pm
really going to bring any big changes. and also, here's a look at the air mass chart, these yellow and orange shades indicating some warmer air on the way. so thursday itself, then any early mist or fog will soon lift. and then we're left with some spells of sunshine. meanwhile, further north, it will be a cloudier story at times, with a chance for a few spots of light rain and drizzle and for more of us feeling warmer with temperatures getting up to around 17—18 celsius more widely. looking at the outlook then friday into the weekend, still some fairly lengthy dry spells in the forecast. temperatures on the rise, too. so in the sunshine, it should feel pleasantly warm. and that's your latest forecast.
