and when i was researching the idea and speaking to people about it, the resounding feedback from women were i can't find a bra that fits both of my breasts well. and that's an issue i'd had myself but i thought it was just unique to me and suddenly, i realised that actually, it's incredibly common. i can see if the bra balancer which is a silicon breast prosthetics that is specifically form for breast asymmetry so rather than a traditional breast prosthetics which is designed to replace the entire breast, this would just replace the void on a smaller side. it's soft and naturalfeeling so void on a smaller side. it's soft and natural feeling so they feel like natural breast tissue and they move like natural breast tissue and the weight is equivalent to the breast tissue that would be there so that's why it provides the weight balance. it's often misconceived by doctors and even the general public as a cosmetic issue which absolutely it is not, it is a health issue. i think for some women, they have asymmetrical breasts and are really

pages. unsurprisingly, the sunday mirror leads with that first video to emerge from partygate, which it runs in full on its website. it claims to show a 2020 conservative showing dancing and drinking at the party's headquarters attended by campaigns guru benn mallet. also on the subject on "get a grip" is the headlines the sunday express, which reports leading conservatives are urging mps to put the borisjohnson saga behind them and focus on the economy. it says a senior mp warns the party faces "mutually assured destruction" if the in—fighting does not stop. lots of the papers feature the special father's day photograph of the prince of wales and his children. the daily mail's headline reads "who loves you daddy?" another royal feature on the front of the times, prince william is to use his own land for social housing in a bid to end homelessness. in his first newspaper interview since being elevated to prince of wales, he says he is "absolutely" committed to establishing social housing on the duchy of cornwall estate that comes with his new role.

mcilroy — who won the last of his four major titles in 2014 — shot a one—under 69 to move to nine under overall. mcilroy�*s first major triumph was also at the us open, in maryland back in 2011. it felt like i played really smart goals, hit a lot of fairways and greens. sort of felt somewhat stressfree out there, if you can ever call golf at us open stressfree but overall pretty pleased with how today went and feel like i am in a good spot heading into tomorrow. max verstappen will start tonight's canadian grand prix from pole after coming out on top in a rain affected qualifying session in montreal. the world champion timed his run to perfection in the final session, clocking the quickest time just before oscar piastri crashed his mclaren, suspending qualifying. the rain worsened before the re—start, which meant none of the drivers could improve their times and that saw a big

surprise with nico hulkenberg getting his haas car onto the front row. britain's lewis hamilton starts from fourth. for the first time since 1977, there will be an all—british final at an event on the wta tour, with katie boulter playing jodie burrage in the nottingham open final later today. it's a first tour final for british number one boulter after beating compatriot heather watson in straight sets. boulter is yet to drop a set so far in nottingham and cruised through the first, before mounting a comeback from 4—1 down to take the second 7—5. she's hopeful this could be a breakthrough moment in her career. i hope so. i have worked so hard for theirs, me and my team especially and i'm just going to keep plugging away and even if it is not my moment, that is fine, it has been a great week and i will keep working

hard. boulter�*s opponent in the final? fellow britjodie burrage. she also came through her semi in straight sets, giving us the first all—british wta final since in just under half a century to look forward to later today. and for burrage, it's against someone she knows well. and the good news for britain kept coming in the mens and the good news for britain kept coming in the men's competition as well. andy murray moved into his second successive grass—court final with a win over portugal's nuno borges. it was a ninth straight victory for murray, including winning the surbiton trophy last sunday — can he make it a perfect 10? he will play french qualifier arthur cazaux later, someone he has trained with recently, so he's hoping to avoid any shocks. some of the young guys, juniors that havejust come out, some of the young guys, juniors that have just come out, my first time seeing them and it is a tree kept but we did get to practise with each other a few weeks ago so hopefully not too many surprises. mice other a few weeks ago so hopefully not too many surprises.— other a few weeks ago so hopefully not too many surprises. nice to see

for centuries, cities have competed and feuded with each other, though nowadays it's more often to the benefit of visitors, as rivals bid to offer more compelling attractions. some famous rivalries between cities around the world include spain's barcelona and madrid. over in india, delhi and mumbai. and in the states, new york versus la. while in australia, it's got

to be sydney and melbourne. and here in bruges, it is with ghent. both cities are full of medieval architecture, but ghent is far bigger, with a university, and has made its name as a foodie destination, though bruges claims the chocolates, they say a better football team, and is considered a more romantic destination. let me ask you — bruges or ghent? i would say ghent. why? it's the bigger city. it's also a student city, so there is a lot of life, more life, i would say. ghent, 100%. why? for everything! the colour of the city. you have so many places to go every day. the bars, the restaurants, the food, the people. well, to be honest, i do prefer brugesl both of them. actually, the both of them has a very rich history. and that's why i come back every year, actually. and that rivalry gets really intense when the neighbouring city threatens to muscle in

on your patch. the canal boat trips have always been run here in bruges by five families, though now that's about to change as soon, the waterways will be opened up to outsiders. and that includes ghent. michiel. hey. good morning. how are you? so i'm actually the fourth generation that is doing this type of work. michiel�*s great—grandmother actually started the business when his great—grandfather was a soldier. he wasn't allowed to do business aside from being in the army. so his wife took on this business at that time and then later on, passed it over to my grandfather, went to my father, and now i'm here. now, the future looks like it's going to change things. can you explain to me what that situation is? well, i'm not much of a fortune teller, so i don't know. but, um...yeah,

in 2028, they're going to open up the market. bruges is beautiful because it is contained. and if you open it up, like amsterdam or venice, that would kill the charm. as part of the changes coming in, all the boats operating on the bruges canal will need to become electric. we've been investing in electrical boats, which costs about, i don't know, about 300,000 euros a boat. so we have to invest in two more. we already have two. i don't know any people who would invest, we'll call it a million euros, and not being sure that you'll be able to still do the job. i mean, we're proud of what we've achieved and what we're doing here as a job. so i'm trusting that the city sees that and wouldn't kick us aside. you can see some blood splatters towards the end, if you look. have you ever had any accidents?

yeah. we took a basketball team from the nba once. didn't work out well. laughter what would you feel, how would you feel, if a family from ghent got your slot on the canals? huh. yeah, well, i wouldn't feel great. to get a sense of how important it's always been for locals to control and protect the canals, a new vr experience lets you visualise this city back in the medieval days, and i even get to sit in a wooden boat. it's so magical to be transported back six, seven centuries to when that rivalry between bruges and ghent first started. i love this. it's so immersive. i've got to watch my head. low bridges! apparently, there are still examples all around the city about that rivalry, and i'vejust the man to show me them.

david has created a comedic walking tour showing the other side of bruges through a local�*s perspective. so, tell me, where did this rivalry between bruges and ghent start? it's 1382, the count of flanders, so this was where he lived, actually. this was de burg, which means the castle. this is it. with the count being so evil and wicked, people from ghent were actually starving. he tried to starve them into submission. eventually, people from ghent just arrived in the city with the gates wide open. nobody was opposing them, and everybody who opposed them was killed, slaughtered and their belongings were taken. and as a prize, as a trophy, they took down the golden dragon that was on top of the cathedral and brought it to ghent. to this day, a golden dragon sits on the belfry in ghent as a symbol of freedom and power of the city. so bruges has the golden crosses. they have the golden dragon. yes, yes, yes. in the spoils of war.

you were wondering probably — are we still stealing things from each other, bruges and ghent? well, now, it's actually people. yes, it's... well, we're taking tourists, but they're taking all our creative people. so the water — very important to this city. yeah, absolutely. because it used to be a port where boats arrived from all over the world carrying spices, exotic birds, cloth, everything. and what we had here to sell, it was put on a boat and exported all over the world. as you can see now, we're still loading and unloading things. it's no more... it's no longer cloth or spices. we're unloading and reloading tourists. i used to live in this street. it has 1a chocolate shops. wow. this is the guild house of the shoemakers. that was then. now, they do other stuff in this house. you see that medieval building next to that building with the compass on, on the right side, with the little tower? yeah. that was built in 1952. yeah, my dad is older than that. you have to be honest. bruges is actually

a very nice, beautiful city. but on the party side, nightlife, music scene, that's not really happening over here. therefore, you would have to go to ghent, so you have to give it to them. the closest thing to a party is when these bells are playing. that's the belfry. and sometimes they even play abba, which is quite annoying. alljokes aside, bruges retains a charm for visitors, and whilst change is inevitable in any city, locals hope it can be done in a way that preserves some tradition and authenticity. and as for the rivalry with ghent, well, they offer complementary experiences, and they�* re only a boat or train ride away from each other. so, hey, why not go to both? now, if you're thinking about taking a trip to belgium any time soon, here are some travel show top tips for things to see and do. well, the two things that belgium is probably best known around the world for

are beer and chocolates. you'll find over 300 breweries here and belgian chocolate is rated to be some of the best in the world. the secret to its success? well, much of it is still handmade and uses the best quality cocoa beans, milled to a grain of only around 15 to 18 microns, which to you and me means it tastes a lot smoother. if you're looking for an equally smooth ride, then you definitely won't get it at the annual regate de baignoires that takes place every august 15 in the town of dinant on the river meuse. started back in 1982, it takes place on the same day every year, with participants competing to create the most impressive bathtub—based craft. about 50 tubs compete every year, but there's no limit on how many people can ride in each of them. up to 25,000 spectators pack the river banks to watch as water—borne chaos usually ensues. but if you can't wait till then, next month sees the appropriately named town

of boom play host to the tomorrowland dance music festival. held over the last two weekends ofjuly, the festival will see 600 djs play their sets across 1a different stages. tomorrowland is the brainchild of belgian brothers manu and michiel beers and has been voted best musical event of the year five times in a row at the international dance music awards. well, there's plenty to come still on this week's show. and here is what's coming up. how to take on the world, whatever your size... there are going to be people with an opinion about your weight, no matter where you go. ..and a test of total endurance. it's really tiring. and so there is an element of having to fight the tiredness and also fight the tedium and fight the boredom. so don't go away!

next this week, our series about travelling differently. this time, we meet the woman who decided that body shamers were not going to stop her from doing what she loves most. i'm such an explorer. i'm such a natural sort of nomadic person. i want to see the world. and so travel for me is my happy place. it's joy. when i'm in one place for too long, i feeljust not myself, like, i always want to be on the go. i'm kellie brown. i'm a youtuber, influencer and traveller. good morning! it's our first full day in lisbon. we actually got here yesterday. delirium, jet lag, checking into our airbnb. all we did was kind of take a walk around the neighbourhood. but today, we're out and about, we're going to explore. so as much as travel excites me, there are things that can

be sort of intimidating being a plus—sized person. you never know what levels of fatphobia you might be exposed to. you know, different cultures i think are a little bit more outwardly fatphobic, um, but it's not something that would stop me from going where i want to be. just a couple of girls on their way to barcelona! we have a long flight, and we're about to have a lot of fun. so come with us. come! but when it comes to flights, you know, i think it's something that i didn't realise how many larger people were really afraid of until i would talk about travelling on my youtube channel. i wanted to talk to you about travelling while fat, aka being a plus—sized person who loves to travel. and i would get comments like, you know, "i'm so terrified of flying. "not because i'm afraid of the plane, "but i'm afraid of, like,

how people will perceive me "or my seatmate or, you know, if i have to ask "for a seat belt extender." i've had someone roll their eyes one time, like, i was walking past their seat and they, like, rolled their eyes, like, "are you sitting with me?" and i wasn't. and i ended up being lucky and having like a whole row to myself, to which i was like laid out. and they were, like, all crushed. i'm like, "that's what you get." so i decided a long time ago to, like, let go of caring, or, you know, the flight attendant will like sort of pass it to you so discreetly. like, "here, honey, here you go." and i'm like, "thank you!" click. just wandering down random alleys in a strange land. whether you're in, you know, travelling in europe or travelling in asia or travelling in africa, travelling throughout the us, in australia, you know, i think there are going to be people with an opinion about your weight no matter where you go. and so how that informs, you know, the choices i make when it comes to travel

is to not make that a thing. you know, the first thing i care about is, you know, safety and what's happening globally. like, are they in crisis or are they in war? like, these are the things you think about when you're travelling. because if you worry about how every single person in any given country or city is going to receive your largeness, you wouldn't go anywhere. i could go down the street to the grocery store and someone can have an opinion about me. you know, it's not going to prevent me from walking around the city in which i live. and so it can't prevent me from exploring the world. there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, your dance break. well, up next, another in our series of remarkable people going on incrediblejourneys. and this time, we're off to ghana in west africa to meet a woman who's putting her love of swimming to good use by taking on

one of africa's great rivers. i am travelling 450km down the volta river, including volta lake, from the northern part of ghana to the southernmost part of ghana as part of a research and swim expedition called the agbetsi living water expedition. what we're doing is collecting water and air samples to look at the quality of water along the stretch of the country, specifically looking for microfibres from textiles. the volta river is one of, perhaps the most important, internal waterway in ghana.

you know, for the communities that live along the volta river, it's a source of food and industry, business. it has a lot of cultural and spiritual significance as well. it also... the reason there's a volta lake at all is because of the construction of the akosombo dam. and the dam is a very important hydroelectric source of power for the country. normally, i will swim for, in the right conditions, for two or two and a half hours in the morning. if the conditions are bad, it might be more like one hour in the morning. and during that time, i'm accompanied by one of the crew members, who is in a kayak, just to make sure that i'm ok and also that i'm swimming in the right direction. when you're swimming, it's really hard to overstate how little you can see. you really can only see the water splashing, flashes of the sky. flashes of blue. flashes of green.

and so it's hard to tell what direction you're swimming in. and there are times where i'm going perpendicular to the direction i want to be going in. and so, yeah, the kayak is super important to help me stay on track. in the evening, we normally find a safe place to dock. good evening from the agbetsi living water expedition. today is day 29. laughs. i'm laughing because it's still really hard for me to know the days. yeah, its day 29. we have almost reached akosombo, which is quite something to think about. i remember when it was day zero and the expedition seemed like it would take forever, which it has.

today is day a0. today is the last day of the agbetsi living water expedition, at least in terms of us being on the boat and me swimming in the river. and i havejust... just 18km left to go to reach the estuary where the volta riverjoins the gulf of guinea. or perhaps one way of getting closer... this one, sorry. this is the one i was talking about. ok, so we're here and we're trying to aim for the point where we almost hit the ocean. and so if i measure the remaining distance left, we have between 15km and 16km, or 17km maximum. so she's going to swim the first 12 and then do the... ..uh, for the next two hours and then do the final five after an hour's break. i experience a number of different feelings and emotions when i'm swimming, and afterwards, too. i mean, obviously, i feel tired.

ifeel tired all the time and my muscles are aching. but i also do experience a lot ofjoy. i mean, there's really breathtaking sights that you're able to see that are even better than if you were in a kayak or in a boat because you're right there in the water and you feel so much more... ..so much closer. i also even in a way like it when the water is rough because i don't feel afraid. i'm just able to feel the energy of the water. and it's an extremely energetic time. so i really enjoy that. laughter i'm here taking

a snack break, make sure i stay hydrated and have enough energy for the next 20 minutes of swimming. all righty. it's so physically taxing to swim for a long distance and also specifically to swim long distances several days in a row back—to—back. it's really... it's really tiring. and so there is an element of having to fight the tiredness and also fight the tedium and fight the boredom to just keep doing it. so that's been something that's been quite difficult. there's not been a point where i wanted to give up, but there have been many points where i've felt very fed up. i felt very fed up! just finished my morning swim.

i was about 2 hours and 20 minutes. and, yeah, i'm feeling really tired today. surprisingly, actually. so i'm going to have a lie down for an hour and then continue. thank you. one, two, three. applause drums play i finished the expedition. ifinished the swim.

i can't believe how long the last part was. i am very extremely tired, but very satisfied. it was very great to see the estuary and i was just saying that i felt very encouraged when i could taste the salt in the water. up until then, i was like about to cry and then i tasted the salt and i was like, "all right, "we're about to finish, so that's good." well, that's it for this week's show. and as ever, thank you forjoining us. before we head off, don't forget you can catch loads of great travel content from the bbc by checking out the handles on your screen right now. we'll be back on the road very soon. but until then, from me, rajan datar, and the rest of the travel show team

here in bruges, it's goodbye.

good morning welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. our headlines today: footage emerges of conservative party staff dancing and drinking at their london headquarters during the covid lockdown in late 2020. the victims of tuesday's attacks in nottingham will be remembered in special prayers at services across the city. the prospect of more strikes at schools in england — the national education union announces two more days of action at the beginning ofjuly. an incredible last gasp victory for scotland — two late goals gives them a shock win against earling haaland's norway in their euro qualifier. why visitors to some attractions are being encouraged to put away their phones and enjoy the moment. talking thunderstorms, some of you had a pretty disturbing night last night, lightening and thunder across parts of the uk

and thunder across parts of the uk and more severe storms to come today. i will have your full forecast here on breakfast. it's sunday the 18th ofjune. our main story: a video has emerged showing some conservative party workers drinking and dancing at a christmas party during covid lockdown. the footage, published by the sunday mirror, was taken at the conservatives' headquarters in westminster in december 2020, when london was in tier 2 restrictions. our political correspondent iain watson has more. some conservatives won't want to look in the mirror today. this is video footage of a gathering inside conservative hq in december 2020 when government restrictions said that only members of the same household and their support bubbles were allowed to socialise indoors. one of those in the video got an obe in borisjohnson's resignation honours list.

the event had a already been reported to the police and they had investigated. last year, they announced they would take no further action and no—one was fined, but they have not yet responded to the new footage. rishi sunak has long wanted to draw a line under partygate but the opening of the covid enquiry and investigation into whether borisjohnson lied to parliament has made this difficult and now he is now facing unwelcome electoral tests — by—elections in borisjohnson's uxbridge seat in london and selby in yorkshire onjuly the 20th. nadine dorries has said she will resign her mid bedfordshire seat and last night david warburton, the mp for somerton and frome, in the west country, said he was resigning with immediate effect. he was suspended from the conservative party last year when he was accused of taking drugs and making unwanted advances towards two women. he denies the allegations of harassment and has claimed a parliamentary investigation into his conduct was flawed and slow—moving. it is likely the prime minister will want the resulting

by—election to take place swiftly. iain watson, bbc news. our political correspondent helen cattjoins us now from our london newsroom. helen, more headaches for rishi sunak this weekend? this event was known about, the metropolitan police looked at it but if they say a picture was worth a thousand words, how much is moving footage like that going to be in terms of the impact it is likely to have. the timing could not be much worse for rishi sunak. the enquiry opened just a few days ago so all of the memories of the coronavirus lockdowns and the people who lost people, their memories coming out now really meant that is pretty high in the public consciousness. there is also the fact that these are conservative party staffers, not related to the downing street party so it is not even as if rishi sunak could say this is under new management and we have moved on and of course he will face the voters

pretty soon with four by—elections on the way, to be held on the 20th ofjuly so you have conservative campaign is going out trying to get people into those seeds to vote for them it will now be having this as a backdrop. it is certainly not ideal for rishi sunak.— for rishi sunak. thank you very much, helen. _ the victims of tuesday's attacks in nottingham will be remembered in special prayers at services across the city. churches across nottingham are holding special services today in solidarity with those affected by the recent attacks in the city. 19—year—old students, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and 65—year—old school caretaker, ian coates, died after they were stabbed in the early hours of tuesday. our reporter mel duffy is in nottingham this morning and shejoins us now. mel, what are today's services going to look like? i think for many people today will be a day of reflection. as you say, saint peters church in the centre of nottingham will be holding press for the victims and their families a little later on this morning.

prayers for grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber both 19th and first year students at the university of nottingham and both found with fatal stab went in the early hours of tuesday morning. prayers also for 65—year—old ian coates who was just months away from retiring from his job as caretaker at a local primary school. he was also found with fatal stab wounds. prayers will also be said for three other victims who were struck by a van into the city centre a little later on that morning. she received minor injuries, one of them was critically hurt. he is now said to be in a stable condition. i do not think it will bejust here stable condition. i do not think it will be just here that we are prayers this morning. there will also be present that across many faiths in and around the city of nottingham, across the county and much further afield because of this story has affected so many people and so many lives. we have seen that

happen, we went to vigils where emotions were very role. we saw the university community come together on wednesday, grief stricken students coming together and then on thursday, the wider nottingham community came together in the market square metres from where i am standing at the moment. people want to come together and i think that would be another chance to do so this morning with prayers held at all these churches. at least a0 people, including children, have been killed at a school in western uganda by rebels linked to the islamic state group. the attackers targeted the secondary school on friday, near the border with the democratic republic of the congo. officials have not said how many of the dead were students. police have released the names of four people, including a 3—year—old boy and an 11—year—old girl,

whose bodies were found at a flat in west london. officers say they're not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths of michal, monika, maja and dawid wloda rczyk all four were found at the property in hounslow and thought to be from the same family. parents and children are facing more disruption next month after teachers in england announced two new days of strikes. members of the national education union will walk out on the 5th and 7th ofjuly and have called on the government to reopen negotiations. jon donnison has the story. chanting schools in england have been affected by six days of strike action so far this year. now, two more are planned. the national education union says it is a last resort. we can't carry on with a government that refuses to acknowledge the scale of problems in the profession. children's education is being effected every single day by the crisis in our schools and these strikes are a cry for help. the government says most state school teachers had a 5% pay rise this academic year.

it has offered a a.3% pay rise for most teachers for next year, with starting salaries reaching £30,000. but teaching unions in england say that is way short of the current rate of inflation which has been at over 10% for much of the last year. the department for education says the pay offer is fair and says that schools will get to £2.3 billion of extra funding over the next two years but this head teacher in cheshire says they are struggling to pay the bills. it does impact our children, it does impact on their families but we have seen a decrease in the amount of funding available for us — we do get more money in our budget, don't get me wrong — but to run a school it costs a lot more money and something needs to happen to actually get us back in sync with what is the right thing to do. it is notjust about teachers pay, this is about funding for schools. for parents, more strikes means more distraction. the babysitter costs a lot of money and she charges me

per kid, so at the end of the day, when i weigh and i need to balance, i think sometimes it is better for me to just stay home because babysitting costs a lot of money. more than half of schools were either partly or fully closed for the last strike in may and four teaching unions have warned any further strikes in the autumn could be co—ordinated, which would mean even more school closures and further disruptions for pupils and parents. jon donnison, bbc news. us secretary of state antony blinken has arrived in beijing for two days of meetings with chinese officials, as part of president biden's hope to ease us—china tensions. our reporter stephen mcdonell is in beijing. stephen, how significant is this visit? how will these shift the tone of the relationship between these two

countries? �* .. relationship between these two countries? , , ., countries? both sides are hoping that at least _ countries? both sides are hoping that at least it _ countries? both sides are hoping that at least it stops _ countries? both sides are hoping that at least it stops the - that at least it stops the relationship from collapsing any further. i mean, i do not recall another visit however from a senior government official which has had such a low expectations in terms of what it may achieve while at the same time being so crucial. the relationship is so toxic between washington and beijing that on the agenda they will be speaking about ways to ensuring that are not accidentally drift into armed conflict. it seems incredible that that would be having this type of discussion in this day and age and at the same time all these other areas, trade problems, sorting out the south china sea, hacking, climate change, you name it, there is all of this material that has to be worked through and yet nobody expects a breakthrough on that. however, when antony blinken meets

his counterpart today, when he potentially even meet the leader of china xijinping potentially even meet the leader of china xi jinping tomorrow, potentially even meet the leader of china xijinping tomorrow, that potentially even meet the leader of china xi jinping tomorrow, that will be highly symbolic and it does send a message and if as a result of these meetings they can be new lines of communication and they can set up more meetings for the future, more high—level discussion between the two governments, i think beijing and washington will be happy that they have come out of this process having achieved something and, as i say, at least they have slowed the process of the relationship deteriorating even further.— of the relationship deteriorating even further. . ,, , ., , . even further. thank you very much, stehen. rod borrow will take part in a special —— after being diagnosed with motor neuron disease, rod borrow setting up a marathon. the charity providing care to children and young people with the condition.

we hope the marathon goes brilliantly with everyone involved in that today. some incredible pictures to show you. you may have been woken up by the thunder and lightning. this was the view in our studio... , , ., , lightning. this was the view in our studio... , .. , .. lightning. this was the view in our studio... , ., , ., , ., studio... just outside our studio. this is about _ studio... just outside our studio. this is about two _ studio... just outside our studio. this is about two o'clock - studio... just outside our studio. this is about two o'clock in - studio... just outside our studio. this is about two o'clock in the l this is about two o'clock in the morning. look at that! yes, nice. lovely stuff. it is fine when you don't have to sleep and you can enjoy it but trying to get some keep, not so helpful. i enjoy it but trying to get some keep, not so helpful.— enjoy it but trying to get some keep, not so helpful. i think our liuahtnin keep, not so helpful. i think our lightning pictures _ keep, not so helpful. i think our lightning pictures are _ keep, not so helpful. i think our lightning pictures are better - keep, not so helpful. i think our| lightning pictures are better than that. that's like harry potter is in charge! that. that's like harry potter is in charae! , , that. that's like harry potter is in charae! , ' charge! this is sheffield in the last hour or — charge! this is sheffield in the last hour or so. _ charge! this is sheffield in the last hour or so. you _ charge! this is sheffield in the last hour or so. you know- charge! this is sheffield in the l last hour or so. you know what? charge! this is sheffield in the . last hour or so. you know what? i could look at these all night long. who needs sleep when you have big

storms around? want to come today, some could be quite nasty and let's be clear, everyone will see showers and thunderstorms today and even if your app is showing it, it's a risk in many areas but because of the way showers form that could be gaps between but in the worst of them, they will be nasty and we could see as much as a month or even a bit more worth of rainfall and just in the space of a few hours, leading to some flash flooding especially given the ground is so dry and to go with it frequent lightning and potentially large hail so there could be disruption later today and it's across parts of england, wales and the west of northern ireland where met office warnings indicate the greatest risk of those storms later. let's focus on what's happening out there. he thunderstorms towards the southeast pushed across east anglia are easing and some across parts of northern england at the moment and went to the far west of scotland, most of you start dry with cloud to england and wales and humid and monkey

starts and as the heat and humidity combined later, more showers will come to life, especially in the afternoon. parts of scotland will be dry in the far northeast of england after some early showers and across the uk, warm. temperatures down a little bit but humidity levels high and when the sun is out it will feel very warm. this is the main risk for showers and storms later, west of northern ireland, across northern england, parts of north wales, the midlands and to the southeast with the south—west thing too many and they are merging to some longer spells of rain, drifting northwards so parts of eastern scotland and north east england could see large rainfall totals and there could be flooding into tomorrow morning. some of the rain is very much welcome, though. another humid and muggy night with temperatures in the teens for most. i different over scotland, largely dried today, heavy rain in the morning across the northern half of the becoming confined to the far

north later, brightening up in the south, with more sunshine around but the scattering of showers and some could be thundery, pushing a bit quicker given a bit more of a breeze and temperatures tomorrow back up a bit on today's values so a warm and humid day. monday night into tuesday, low pressure pulls away a little bit but then this weather system gets closed by from france, a much impact it will keep an eye on for you but on tuesday, it it could be further west so long heavy, thundery brain east anglia and the southeast and elsewhere, sunshine develops and the thundery show is going again —— rain. temperatures may be down a little bit, a little less humid but a humid weekend store and towards the end of the week, we could see even high humidity levels come our way and the chance of something hot for the weekend. back to ou. i something hot for the weekend. back to you- i will— something hot for the weekend. back to you- i will put _ something hot for the weekend. back to you. i will put you on the spot but i know you will know, what is it that causes lightning, these amazing shows we've seen? what causes it? it's all to do with the rain within

the thundercloud, basically bouncing around and the wind goes up and down inside the clouds and as they rubbed together like friction, so you get static electricity and that sort of thing and eventually it builds up and has to be released and you see spectacular scenes like you saw there in salford overnight. amazing, thank ou. there in salford overnight. amazing, thank you- i — there in salford overnight. amazing, thank you. i knew _ there in salford overnight. amazing, thank you. i knew you _ there in salford overnight. amazing, thank you. i knew you would - there in salford overnight. amazing, thank you. i knew you would know . thank you. i knew you would know that. it's incredible how bright it is. i that. it's incredible how bright it is. .. , .. that. it's incredible how bright it is. ., , ., ., that. it's incredible how bright it is. i thought you meant matt. we know that- _ is. i thought you meant matt. we know that. his _ is. i thought you meant matt. we know that. his weather _ is. i thought you meant matt. we know that. his weather brain - is. i thought you meant matt. we know that. his weather brain is l know that. his weather brain is enormous- _ know that. his weather brain is enormous. thank _ know that. his weather brain is enormous. thank you - know that. his weather brain is enormous. thank you matt. . if you've been for a day out this weekend, how much time did you spend enjoying the scenery and how long did you spend taking selfies and checking your phone? genuinely enjoying the seasoning —— scenery. good question. well, english heritage is asking visitors to its sites to ditch their devices, and simply experience their surroundings first—hand. our reporterjanine machin has been finding out more. how will anyone know you have been there though? that's true. and a lot

of these places are guilty of doing that, take a picture and tag them. they like it for the advertising! one of the country's finest stately homes and the perfect place for a selfie. but nearby, a new reminder that we don't need digital devices to enjoy the view. it's rich in history, built in the early 1600s with gardens by capability brown and there is a lot to see here and to listen to. which is why english heritage want people to explore it with their senses, not their smartphones. me with their senses, not their smartphones.— with their senses, not their smarthones. ~ . , ., with their senses, not their smarthones. ~ . , . . smartphones. we are installing a series of signs _ smartphones. we are installing a series of signs that _ smartphones. we are installing a series of signs that many - smartphones. we are installing a series of signs that many of - smartphones. we are installing a series of signs that many of our i series of signs that many of our sites and these are in a distinctive style that the ministry of works installed across different sites in the country in the second half of the country in the second half of the 20th century and invariably those signs would tell people not to do things or warn them of dangers so it's a playful twist on the design, actually, telling people instead to stop and not be something spectacular. the one of my favourite spots probably is the pond garden

important to actually be present and to allow ourselves to experience, you know, a beautiful day out at one of these sites rather than, you know, trying to freeze—frame it for later via our device so we can look at it. most people don't look back at it. most people don't look back at photos or footage. we actually, it's in our brain. we have our own hard drives. they are right there in our bodies. sometimes i think we'd outsource it to devices which i think can be really harmful in terms of our experience and also our memory and processing of the event. is itjust about overcoming that short of —— sort of short—term fear that you will miss something because we've all done it. you have left your phone at home or have it somewhere and you hated for five minutes and then once you are used to not having it you can enjoy the moment and it's that we feel we need to have it with us at all times. yes, i think it is that sort of deprivation every sense of iphone

has been taken from me, i have lost a limb, and some people describe it as that but actually, once we build tolerance being without it, we start tolerance being without it, we start to notice actually, this is quite nice. ifeel more relaxed. and when i was researching the book, the first thing i did was to start going on my dog walks without my device and i noticed that i would be in the park and i would notice that, the nature, the trees, the leaves changing, i would nature, the trees, the leaves changing, iwould have nature, the trees, the leaves changing, i would have more real—life interactions with people when i put my device away so actually, it encouraged me to do more rather than feeling like i was bereft of my device and i started to notice the kind of positive things that brought me so i think that positive reinforcement is really valuable and i think that's maybe why english heritage, what they are doing is so powerful because it gives people the opportunityjust to experience for awhile what it is like to be without your device, what it is like to see and notice and

smell and really engage with the senses and i think maybe it will encourage people to do it more. hopefully. did encourage people to do it more. hoefull . , i. encourage people to do it more. hoefull. , , . encourage people to do it more. hopefully-— encourage people to do it more. hoefull. , , . hopefully. did you expect we will ever let hopefully. did you expect we will ever get to _ hopefully. did you expect we will ever get to sort _ hopefully. did you expect we will ever get to sort of _ hopefully. did you expect we will ever get to sort of pick _ hopefully. did you expect we will ever get to sort of pick phone - hopefully. did you expect we will ever get to sort of pick phone or| ever get to sort of pick phone or peak camera maybe, the idea we think do you know what? i've taken this picture a million times and actually, i don't need my phone. we can enjoy it for what it is. i actually, i don't need my phone. we can enjoy it for what it is.— can en'oy it for what it is. i think we can enjoy it for what it is. i think we miaht can enjoy it for what it is. i think we might be _ can enjoy it for what it is. i think we might be getting _ can enjoy it for what it is. i think we might be getting there. - can enjoy it for what it is. i think we might be getting there. i've. we might be getting there. i've noticed as recent music events there is less tolerance for people holding up is less tolerance for people holding up a big smartphone or even a tablet and recording. i've seen people point out to other people the device is getting in their way so i think we are starting to see a bit of a tide turn in terms of the tolerance of ubiquitous phone use and certain bars and cafes i've noticed recently have notices up saying talk to each other. you are here. enjoy the moment. put your devices away. so i

think something is starting to turn in terms of tolerance, that its ok to be on your smartphone everywhere all the time. i think people are... certainly, there is more awareness of the negative impact of phones, particularly by younger clients. it is not that they may be cutting down on their use dramatically but certainly, they are aware it is harmful and noticing the impact on their mental health so i think that's certainly a significant shift in terms of where we were before the pandemic. i think the pandemic really exacerbated our phone use, so i think there is, since then, and people became so reliant on their devices for communication and keeping in contact with people but i think now, that's shifting, people are more hungry to experience things in real life so i think there is, something is starting to change. hilda, so good to speak to you. it's fascinating. hilda burke they're talking about how bad we are at

right and at every level in the party we are asking ourselves was there something that i did or perhaps didn't do or said or didn't say that could have made a difference? the key thing is that we look forward in a very, very united way to putting things right, as i say, and we remember this is in no way something that is specific to plaid cymru, this affects all political parties now, so many organisations and i'm not sure how many conversations you have had with others over recent months about these kinds of issues but this is our turn. we are very serious about doing something about it and the key thing for us and what makes me positive is we have this report, this forensic, excellent report, difficult reading, that gives us a roadmap forward and a number of the recommendations made have already been implemented and i will not be compromising at all in making sure that we put all of the efforts that we need to put in.—

absolutely believe that wales can be independent within my lifetime but the key thing is it will be the people of wales deciding it will be myjob along with my colleagues at all levels of leadership to make sure we get that message across in a positive and compelling way. thank ou. we're here on bbc one until 9:00 this morning, and then it's time for sunday with laura kuenssberg. hello, laura. what have you got lined up for us? we have michael gove who is the levelling up sec. with respond possibility for housing and 70 people watching no wealthy mortgage nightmare with interest rates rising and particularly rising this week. it is really worrying a lot of viewers that will be asking michael gove about that, is a possibility the government may stepping in some way to help in a way they did with energy bills, in the next few

months. but, of course, whether you are sick of hearing it, party gate is back in the news with that video footage that has come out so we will be putting him questions about that and maybe a word or two in the latest never ending seemingly saga about borisjohnson. and a bit of our trade, about borisjohnson. and a bit of ourtrade, mark about borisjohnson. and a bit of our trade, mark rylance, about borisjohnson. and a bit of ourtrade, mark rylance, one about borisjohnson. and a bit of our trade, mark rylance, one of the leading actors of his generations, award winner, oscar winner and a very serious actor in some ways, you may know him from shakespeare but also familiar face to take in the leading role in the bfg. we have been speaking to him and a whole host of other treats so i hope to see it live on bbc one.- host of other treats so i hope to see it live on bbc one. thank you. we will see _ see it live on bbc one. thank you. we will see you — see it live on bbc one. thank you. we will see you then. _

a slap in the face. i think it is notjust limited to borisjohnson, to the findings of the privileges committee last week, it is still a big headache for rishi sunak because he's effectively and was boris johnson's number two when this was going on. it johnson's number two when this was aroin on. , johnson's number two when this was aoian on. , ,., johnson's number two when this was aoain on. , ., going on. it might be something that we want to forget _ going on. it might be something that we want to forget but _ going on. it might be something that we want to forget but this _ going on. it might be something that we want to forget but this party i we want to forget but this party took place during what we remember as a two restrictions. it seems like as a two restrictions. it seems like a long time ago all this —— tear. the met police took no further action after seeing pictures of that party but this is damaging for rishi sunak ahead of a really busy week? the good news for rishi sunak is that boris— the good news for rishi sunak is that borisjohnson seem to have briefly— that borisjohnson seem to have briefly disappeared from the front pages _ briefly disappeared from the front pages to— briefly disappeared from the front pages to be replaced by this. the problems— pages to be replaced by this. the problems are piling up. i thought last week— problems are piling up. i thought last week was a bad week for him, notjust— last week was a bad week for him, notiust the — last week was a bad week for him, notjust the boris last week was a bad week for him, not just the boris johnson saga and

a privileged pass but because he resigned, that 90 day sanction that the house of commons would have voted on is not really applicable however there will still be a vote. rishi sunak�*s approach to this seems to be, let'sjust talk rishi sunak�*s approach to this seems to be, let's just talk about it as a one line, almost making it optional for mps who may not want to declare either way. the issue conservative mps of god is they are in a bind between voters and some of their members in the conservative associations. a lot of anger still at borisjohnson associations. a lot of anger still at boris johnson for what associations. a lot of anger still at borisjohnson for what he did, as you might expect, but he is still quite popular about some conservative and party members so i sort of field mandate may feel like a bit of a relative anticlimax after

that extremely... difficult report on borisjohnson that came out last week simply because they are not voting on a suspension anymore, he has already resigned and i think it is going to be... rishi sunak is going to look the other way, let's put it like that. if people do not turn up. is put it like that. if people do not turn u -. , . put it like that. if people do not turnu-. . . , ,, turn up. is that the problem, unless mps are willing _ turn up. is that the problem, unless mps are willing to _ turn up. is that the problem, unless mps are willing to pin _ turn up. is that the problem, unless mps are willing to pin the _ turn up. is that the problem, unless mps are willing to pin the colour- turn up. is that the problem, unless mps are willing to pin the colour to l mps are willing to pin the colour to the mast, this problem just lingers and sticks around? i the mast, this problem 'ust lingers and sticks around?_ and sticks around? i agree with that. and sticks around? i agree with that- lots _ and sticks around? i agree with that. lots of _ and sticks around? i agree with that. lots of tory _ and sticks around? i agree with that. lots of tory mps - and sticks around? i agree with that. lots of tory mps are i and sticks around? i agree with i that. lots of tory mps are treating this report — that. lots of tory mps are treating this report by privileges committee like kryptonite. if they criticise boris _ like kryptonite. if they criticise boris johnson they offset part of the membership that adores boris johnson _ the membership that adores boris johnson steel the problem that lingers— johnson steel the problem that lingers is every week boris johnson will use _ lingers is every week boris johnson will use his — lingers is every week boris johnson will use his new column in the daily

with us on a sunday morning. let’s with us on a sunday morning. let's talk sport- — i will set the scene for you, championship winner earling haaland, he goes back to his home country, to be paraded in front of his home friends in oslo and even scores a goal in front of them and then scotland go and spoil his party! irate scotland go and spoil his party! we are scotland go and spoil his party! , are following this bloodlust that because you should have been in bed... it because you should have been in bed... . , �* because you should have been in bed... �* ., bed... it wasn't too late. it finished — bed... it wasn't too late. it finished at _ bed... it wasn't too late. it finished at about _ bed... it wasn't too late. it finished at about 8:30pm. | bed... it wasn't too late. it | finished at about 8:30pm. it bed... it wasn't too late. it - finished at about 8:30pm. it was their us golf that i was following that i should not have been... i was shocked as well because i looked at the update and it is 61 minutes and earling haaland had scored and then, oh, my goodness, too late goals from scotland because they produced an

extraordinary fightback to win their euro 2024 qualifier against norway in oslo. trailing by an erling haaland penalty, scotland scored twice with just moments remaining, lyndon dykes with the first, before substitute kenny mclean's perfectly placed winner. much to the delight and surprise of the players and of course the travelling fans. victory keeps scotland top of group a on a maximum nine points, six clear of spain. sometimes when it is your moment, you just have to ride your wave. so we had a good moment. the boys believed in themselves and kept going. obviously disappointed to go one behind but i thought the reaction to that was good. i was reasonably pleased with what we did before that. and the lads have managed to dig themselves out of a tight corner and we stay top of the group which is nice. it isa it is a good feeling, being a winner. ~ ., . ., ,

a roar that echoes back through the ashes, the 15th time he has got him. a ball later, marnus labuschagne called jonny bairstow, swept up in broads charge. things brightened a little for australia so ben stokes decided to unsettle them. the target the great steve smith — wait a moment — what a moment. after lunch, came the counterpunch, usman khawaja and travis head smashed 50s, partly at the expense of moeen ali but he and his captain kept faith, took heart and picked up head. the ball that got cameron green was even better. remember, moeen ali thought he had retired from test matches. but khawaja was still going. he'd never made a century in this country, this was a moment that meant so much to him and his team. england needed him gone. send for stuart broad. edgbaston erupted then deflated with an arm — no ball. broad frustrated by the narrow. australia make good on that escape.

alex careyjoined khawaja to take them closer to england's total. as they walked off, the game was very much on. so england will begin day three ahead but needing wickets and the weather could come into play. a storm is possible on sunday but then everything about this test is difficult to forecast. patrick gearey, bbc news, at edgbaston. rory mcilroy is just one shot off the lead as he heads into the final round of the us open in los angeles. mcilroy, who won the last of his four major titles in 2014, shot a one—under 69 to move to nine under overall. joint top of the leaderboard are americans rickie fowler and wyndham clark. mcilroy sounded confident that he could catch them. max verstappen will start tonight's canadian grand prix from pole after coming out on top in a rain—affected qualifying session in montreal. the world champion timed his run to perfection in the final session, clocking the quickest time just before oscar piastri crashed his mclaren, suspending qualifying. the rain worsened before the restart, which meant none of the drivers could

improve their times. nico hulkenberg got his haas car onto the front row. britain's lewis hamilton starts from fourth. this is a good start for us, i think. the most difficult conditions out there and trying to get the temperature into the tyres. obviously, there are not any high—speed corners so it's difficult to generate temperature but yeah, i was hoping for more, actually, but will take it. two more semifinals in rugby league's challenge cup today with holders wigan playing warrington and leigh taking on york. a couple of sides already through, including club world champions st helens, who saw off hull fc in their semifinal. hull kr are also through after beating salford. for the first time since 1977, there will be an all—british final at an event on the wta tour with katie boulter playing jodie burrage in the nottingham open final later today. it's a first tour final for british

number one boulter after beating compatriot heather watson in straight sets. boulter is yet to drop a set so far in nottingham and cruised through the first before mounting a comeback from 4—1 down to take the second 7—5. as we mentioned, boulter�*s opponent in the final is fellow britjodie burrage. she also came through her semi in straight sets, giving us the first all—british wta final in just under half a century to look forward to later today. and she knows her opponent pretty well. we played a final at the start of this year and she once so hopefully i can try to change that this time but what an amazing tournament for both of us and for all the women this week. and the good news for britain kept coming in the men's competition as well. andy murray moved into his second successive grass court final with a win over portugal's nuno borges. it was a ninth—straight victory for murray, including winning the surbiton trophy last sunday.

in amongst edinburgh's elegant architecture stands the iconic mcewan hall. in 1897, it was gifted to the people of the city by philanthropist william mcewan and throughout its life, it's been the home of graduations, concerts and even edinburgh fringe comedy gigs. but i wonder if william mcewan ever thought that his hall would be used for this... it's been turned into a fortnite den. four, three, two, one... it's the best feeling ever. basically the only game i've been playing for five years. i'm addicted to it. to win in any sport, _ you need to believe in yourself. in a game like fortnite,

anything can happen at any time. welcome to red bull contested, the first—ever major live fortnite tournament in the uk. today, 100 of the best players will battle through eight rounds of gameplay. the highest scorer will lift the trophy and walk away with £100,000. the very first—ever fortnite major lan event here in the uk. this is a sport where every player is in their own world, their own zone, hardly moving. fortnite is huge. it's only six years old, but it has 400 million players around the world. its battle royale tournaments allow up to 100 players to join each online world and then have it out with each other to be the last one standing. i grew up playing shooter games, so i feel like my aim is really, really good. ijust focus on hitting my shots and that works.

irina is a streamer with tens of thousands of followers who can watch her playing fortnite online every day, and this event is a reminder that gaming is also a massive spectator sport. it's being livestreamed to fans everywhere, and the set—up is comparable with some high—end tv programmes. for the players who have experience with physical events, that has a big advantage because there's lights going on. it's not your home chair, it's not your home desk. i always compare it to a professional football player — he plays on a pitch if it's rain, snowy, and you have to do the same in fortnite. so these may be some of the best fortnite players in the world, but what's really interesting is a new version of fortnite drops the day before this tournament, so there are new weapons, new skills to master, a brand—new area of the island that's unfamiliar to everyone, and so i think that does level the playing field. what they're saying is this really could be anyone's game. playing field is not that level — of the 100 players, irina is the only female.

we haven't really had girls stand out in the biggest fortnite tournament. fortnite competitive requires a lot, a lot, of effort and we have yet to see some girls making it to the top. we actually invited five women to come and play here, but, for different reasons, they couldn't show up, unfortunately. how do you think you can make tournaments like this more attractive to women? traditionally, girls were never that interested in games, like in my generation, and i think, you know, more and more women have taken it seriously in the recent years. and i think it'sjust, like, a thing that takes some time and it will definitely come where you're going to see more and more women on the stage. she's definitely holdingj it down for the women. we love reddysh, right? it can be difficult to get your head around the fact that esports is such a big deal, and these players, aged 16 to 27, have certainly found something that they can excel in. and, arguably, these alternate worlds can provide safe spaces from the stresses of being a teenager.

when i have problems, ijust put the headset on and it's just like a different type of world. it's kind of playing a different game. you don't have to focus about what's happening in real life. esports have definitely proved that they are worth the investment of big sponsors — big audiences mean big profits mean big prizes. when i was 15 years old, i went to the fortnite world cup. i played second in duos with my partner and we won about 2 million combined. it takes a lot of work to definitely become a professional gamer because you have to put in so, so, many hours. after eight gruelling battles, the tournament is over and the prize goes to wave vico. what are you going to do with the prize money? i'm going to save the money and i'm going to save up for my graduation. and the 16—year—old austrian is humble and measured in his victory. i'm just at a level of happiness where ijust can cry all day right now.

0k. let's do it. fiery spells... ..sneaky stormtroopers. .. ..and space. lots and lots of space. a big bunch of new games have been showcased in los angeles this week. ordinarily, this time of year would see the games industry descend on la for one of the biggest events on the gaming calendar, the e3 convention, but it seems e3 has been indefinitely postponed. this is awkward. that didn't stop some of the biggest names in games throwing their own events, though. we are not stopping, whatever lies at the end of this road. ubisoft gave us a glimpse of gameplay from its new star wars open—world adventure, outlaw. as well as a return to the world ofjames cameron's big, blue feline folk in avatar: frontiers of pandora. lam na'vi. living it up with the common folk...

xbox had a couple of aces up its sleeve. a larger—than—life richard ayoade gave us an early look at the next game in the fable fantasy franchise. you see, i'm not here to slay legendary beasts. i'm here to conquer the vegetable. not a euphemism. least surprising of all, we got a long look at the latest game from legendary role—playing developers bethesda and their epic space exploration title, starfield. with a massive number of customisation options for characters... ..and ships, the ability to play in third orfirst person, a vast array of missions and quests, and over 1,000 planets to visit, everything about this game screams "epic". there's a lot riding on it. i caught up with microsoft games' head honcho phil spencer to talk about the weight of expectation and what's next for xbox. starfield looks incredibly ambitious. lots of big, blockbuster game

launches have stalled due to buggy titles arriving on day one. what kind of pressure is there to get it right with this game? you're definitely right that the bigger the game is, the more of a task it is to test the quality of the game. i've been playing starfield, as has the team back in redmond since, kind of, mid—late last year, so we've been playing for a long time. we've got a lot of testers on the game. we're spending the right amount of time iterating on both quality as well as the fun, right, in making sure that we've got a great, consistent game. now, microsoft, the wider company, has a significant stake in al. it's notably invested in openai, the company behind chatgpt. how do you see ai affecting xbox? one of the areas that we think — well, we definitely are already employing it — is in our safety, security, of our network. when we think about all of the conversations that are happening on xbox live, human moderation is there, but there's only so much

capacity we can stay up. from a creative standpoint, you know, i'm always creative—led, i'm not technology—led, and i think we're quite a ways away from these technologies impacting the core creative, which is very human—led today. phil spencer, thank you very much indeed. like mcewan hall, many arts venues are moving with the times, trying to accommodate new forms of entertainment. for example, i wonder whether you've ever tried immersive theatre, drama productions where you become part of the action and get pulled into the world that you're watching? well, alasdair keen has been to see how one performance in glasgow is using technology more traditionally associated with warehouses to bring a haunted house to life. can you give us a sign that you can hear us, please? please, give us... oh, did you... did you see that? in this play, things are going bump in the night.

this is ghost hunter, a theatre experience where the audience are taking on the role of those finding paranormal activity. going down the way, you are heading in that direction. the set is a house, complete with living room, kitchen and bedrooms. radio crackles. but the real secrets here isn't the ghosts. it's the tech powering it. this is the behind the scenes of this huge set. it fills this entire warehouse. but look up. you can see lots of little sensors. they allow the crew on the outside to know what's happening on the inside and control the different spooks. turns out ghosts are really difficult to employ. so instead, we've got an array of computers that are hiding behind the walls of the house that deliver a lot of the haunting, along with a lot of people who run around the walls of the house and deliver it as well. but the main element of the game is that these audience members have to hunt down these ghosts, which they do, using a couple of devices that we've called

the scanner and the amplifier. and those devices conjure up these ghosts through using a number of different pieces of technology. flashing lights is good. i've got it here. it's searching for the rift, but the rift is in the house. toby, could you close that door? james, you come straight back in. all right. there's a rift out there. are you thinking what i'm thinking? let's go find it. so this, over here... ..this is a posex tag. this allows the computer to see exactly where you are within the space at any time. these tags are constantly transmitting location information to all the anchors, which use it to work out where they are in the space. and so we can track the audience as they move round the space in this map of the house. door creaks. ok, my heart is still absolutely racing. after that, i've got goosebumps all up my arms. that was a play like i have never experienced before. i'm not sure i'll sleep tonight,

but it's been years in the making for the team that put this on and they're really hoping this is the kind of technology that can help to bring new people into theatres. brilliant stuff. i am afraid that's it for the short cut of click. loads more waiting for you in the full version. and i'm afraid that's it from us here in edinburgh. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today: footage emerges of conservative party staff dancing and drinking at their london headquarters during the covid lockdown in late 2020. the victims of tuesday's attacks in nottingham will be remembered in special prayers at services across the city. the prospect of more strikes at schools in england — the national education union announces two more days of action at the beginning ofjuly. an incredible last—minute victory for scotland. two late goals gives them a shock win against erling haaland's norway in their euro qualifier. and australia are fighting back in the first test of the ashes. it's delicately poised with

thunderstorms expected at edgbaston. plus, how did you sleep last night? because for some there was flashes of lightning, rumbles of thunder and as we go through the day ahead there could be some more severe storms breaking out across the country. i'll have your full forecast details here on breakfast. it's sunday the 18th ofjune. our main story. a video has emerged showing some conservative party workers drinking and dancing at a christmas party during covid lockdown. the footage, published by the sunday mirror, was taken at the conservatives' headquarters in westminster in december 2020, when people were banned from socialising indoors. our political correspondent iain watson has more. some conservatives won't want to look in the mirror today. this is video footage of a gathering inside

conservative hq in december 2020 when government restrictions said that only members of the same household and their support bubbles were allowed to socialise indoors. one of those in the video got an obe in borisjohnson's resignation honours list. the event had a already been reported to the police and they had investigated. last year, they announced they would take no further action and no—one was fined, but they have not yet responded to the new footage. rishi sunak has long wanted to draw a line under partygate but the opening of the covid enquiry and investigation into whether borisjohnson lied to parliament has made this difficult and now he is now facing unwelcome electoral tests — by—elections in borisjohnson's uxbridge seat in london and selby in yorkshire onjuly the 20th. nadine dorries has said she will resign her mid bedfordshire seat and last night david warburton, the mp for somerton and frome, in the west country, said he was resigning with immediate effect.

he was suspended from the conservative party last year when he was accused of taking drugs and making unwanted advances towards two women. he denies the allegations of harassment and has claimed a parliamentary investigation into his conduct was flawed and slow—moving. it is likely the prime minister will want the resulting by—election to take place swiftly. iain watson, bbc news. our political correspondent helen cattjoins us now from our london newsroom, helen — more headaches for rishi sunak this weekend? we did know about this event, we had still photographs of it before. we did know about this event, we had still photographs of it before. if we did know about this event, we had still photographs of it before. if a picture is worth a thousand words what impact does moving images have? and the timing couldn't be a lot worse for rishi sunak. it is come just days after the covid open and families telling moving stories about their losses and that is something the liberal democrats have picked up on this morning and said thousands of grieving families

deserved an apology and labour accusing the conservatives of mocking and the conservatives will have to defend four seats in four by—elections and they will be knocking on doors today and they will have this as the backdrop to that of the timing could not be a lot worse. churches across nottingham are holding special services today in solidarity with those affected by the recent attacks in the city. 19—year—old students barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and 65—year—old school caretaker ian coates, died after they were stabbed in the early hours of tuesday. our reporter mel duffy is in nottingham this morning and shejoins us now. mel, what are today's services going to look like? for many people it will be a day of reflection after the shocking events of last week. special prayers will be sent here at the church in the

city centre a little later this morning. forthe city centre a little later this morning. for the victims and their families. prayers for grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber who were both 19th and first year students at the university of nottingham and were both found with stab wounds in the early hours of tuesday morning and also prayers for ian coates who was 65 and just months away from retarding from his job as caretaker at a local primary school and he too was found in the street with fatal stab wounds and the victims were struck by a van in the victims were struck by a van in the city centre and she received minor injuries but one man is critically hurt and is said now to be in a stable position. it is not just here where prayers will be said this morning but across the city and

county and much further afield because this story has impacted so many people and affected so many lives as we have seen that over the past few days and on tuesday night when emotions were still very raw the church opened its doors for people to sit and lay flowers and light a candle. the student community came together on wednesday night and thousands turned out and we heard from the fathers of grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber and on friday the wider nottingham community came together to pay their respects and i spoke to a few people before that vigil and they said they felt they had to come down and i think today will be another opportunity for people to come together and remember those who lost their lives. police have released the names of four people including

a three—year—old boy and an 11—year—old girl, whose bodies were found at a flat in west london. officers say they're not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths of michal, monika, maja and dawid wlodarczyk. all four were found at the property in hounslow and thought to be from the same family. us secretary of state antony blinken has arrived in beijing for two days of meetings with chinese officials. president biden's hope to ease us—china tensions. it's part of president biden's hope to ease us—china tensions. our correspondent stephen mcdonell, who's in beijing, sent this report. it seems incredible they will be having this discussion in this day and age and in other areas trade problems and this sorting out the south china sea and hacking and climate change, you name it, all this material that has to be worked

through and nobody expects a breakthrough on that but when antony blinken mixes counterpart today and potentially meets the leader of china xijinping. that will be on the agenda. football legend graeme souness has set off on his channel swim relay to raise money for people living with a rare skin condition after being inspired by 14—year—old isla grist. the former tv pundit is aiming to raise £1.1m for the debra charity, which supports isla and about 5,000 people in the uk who currently live with the genetic condition. we will have more on this story tomorrow morning.

pa rents parents and children are facing more disruption next month. schools in england have been affected by six days of strike action so far this year. now, two more are planned. the national education union says it is a last resort. we can't carry on with a government that refuses to acknowledge the scale of problems in the profession. children's education is being effected every single day by the crisis in our schools and these strikes are a cry for help. the government says most state school teachers had a 5% pay rise this academic year.

it has offered a 4.3% pay rise for most teachers for next year, with starting salaries reaching £30,000. but teaching unions in england say that is way short of the current rate of inflation which has been at over 10% for much of the last year. the department for education says the pay offer is fair and says that schools will get to £2.3 billion of extra funding over the next two years but this head teacher in cheshire says they are struggling to pay the bills. it does impact our children, it does impact on their families but we have seen a decrease in the amount of funding available for us — we do get more money in our budget, don't get me wrong — but to run a school it costs a lot more money and something needs to happen to actually get us back in sync with what is the right thing to do. it is notjust about teachers' pay, this is about funding for schools. for parents, more strikes means more distraction. the babysitter costs a lot of money and she charges me per kid, so at the end of the day,

when i weigh and i need to balance, i think sometimes it is better for me to just stay home because babysitting costs a lot of money. more than half of schools were either partly or fully closed for the last strike in may and four teaching unions have warned any further strikes in the autumn could be co—ordinated, which would mean even more school closures and further disruptions for pupils and parents. jon donnison, bbc news. we're nowjoined by darren morgan, who's headteacher at kings road primary school in greater manchester, and also mary bousted, joint general secretary of the national education union who's in south london. why are we once again at this point with strikes that keep children out of school? it is a very good question and we have a secretary of state for education who does not want to meet us and doesn't

negotiate and we haven't seen her since before easter. she has known that we held off holding any industrial action during the exam period and that she did not meet us we would have to look at that again. she's had the teacher peabody review for over a month and we think that recommends teachers get 6.5%, teachers and leaders, and we are concerned that because she has not and jeremy hunt that chancel have said we will meet with the independent review body and we believe there is a row going on and it they may not meet the 6.5% and do not fund it. so if we waited for the other unions any longer that would be a fate complete stop and i imply

gillian keegan to get all the unions backin gillian keegan to get all the unions back in and to talk about averting the strikes. if back in and to talk about averting the strikes— the strikes. if the government recommends _ the strikes. if the government recommends a _ the strikes. if the government recommends a 6.5% _ the strikes. if the government recommends a 6.5% would - the strikes. if the government| recommends a 6.5% would you the strikes. if the government - recommends a 6.5% would you be the strikes. if the government _ recommends a 6.5% would you be happy with that? l recommends a 6.5% would you be happy with that? .. recommends a 6.5% would you be happy with that? ~' , , ., , with that? i think members would be ha . but with that? i think members would be happy but there _ with that? i think members would be happy but there will— with that? i think members would be happy but there will be _ with that? i think members would be happy but there will be questions - happy but there will be questions how it was funded. there is no point seeing they would pay 6.5% if there was no money to pay for it but if it was no money to pay for it but if it was funded i think that would resolve the dispute. the department for education — resolve the dispute. the department for education has _ resolve the dispute. the department for education has said _ resolve the dispute. the department for education has said they _ resolve the dispute. the department for education has said they are - for education has said they are providing funding for these pay rises but maybe can expend what is happening in your school within your budget and what kind of pressures around you at the moment? income is not around you at the moment? income is rrot matching — around you at the moment? income is not matching expenditures _ around you at the moment? income is not matching expenditures so - around you at the moment? income is not matching expenditures so these i not matching expenditures so these are huge _ not matching expenditures so these are huge figures but when you spread them across—

vacancies have quadrupled since 2010 so we know see school leavers simply, notjust maths and science subjects but english has become subjects but english has become subject with shortages and it is a gateway to other subjects because it focuses on writing and literacy. we don't want to have to take action but i have to tell you the crisis in schools and the profession and the government will fail to meet teacher training targets of secondary teachers by over 50% this year. it failed to meet them by nearly 50% last year and last year 40,000 teachers, 9% of the profession, left the profession before retirement. you cannot have that rate of leaving and have such poor recruitment figures and carry on having teachers and classrooms. it is come to the

point where some schools next year will have to send children home because they cannot put a teacher in front of the class.— front of the class. there is talk all the unions _ front of the class. there is talk all the unions may _ front of the class. there is talk all the unions may come - front of the class. there is talk i all the unions may come together front of the class. there is talk - all the unions may come together and coordinate strike action in the autumn. that is yet to be confirmed but if that happens, not every school will be affected by strikes coming up but if that happens the impact is likely to be much wider meanwhile parents struggling what to do with their children concerned about them having had their education disrupted already over the last four years facing yet more disruption so from their perspective on the well—being of the children how do you justify this industrial action? how do you 'ustify this industrial action? , , ., ., how do you 'ustify this industrial action? g , ., ., , how do you 'ustify this industrial action? , ., ., , ., action? just a nightmare in terms of timina and action? just a nightmare in terms of timing and destruction _ action? just a nightmare in terms of timing and destruction and - action? just a nightmare in terms of timing and destruction and maybe i timing and destruction and maybe that is— timing and destruction and maybe that is the — timing and destruction and maybe that is the point. children have transition — that is the point. children have transition activities from primary school— transition activities from primary school across the high school and maybe _ school across the high school and maybe sports days and those kind of things _ maybe sports days and those kind of things and _ maybe sports days and those kind of things and this isjust maybe sports days and those kind of things and this is just awful. maybe sports days and those kind of things and this isjust awful. in september when the children are coming _ september when the children are coming back there is talk of 40

strikes — coming back there is talk of 40 strikes having a coordinated response and that would be a disaster _ response and that would be a disaster. nobody wants to strike. teachers — disaster. nobody wants to strike. teachers don't want to lose their pay and — teachers don't want to lose their pay and we — teachers don't want to lose their pay and we don't want to affect the offer for— pay and we don't want to affect the offer for our pupils but the answer is that— offer for our pupils but the answer is that the — offer for our pupils but the answer is that the government to listen and make _ is that the government to listen and make changes in terms of putting money— make changes in terms of putting money into school budgets. thank you for our time this morning. you may well have been woken up by thunder and lightning, which spread across parts of the uk overnight. here's a glimpse of what we saw in salford quays at around 2am. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. quite astonished belt to come from many of us today. this was the view in birmingham so why so stormy

today? we have low pressure towards the west of ireland at the moment and low pressure with the air rising which helps build up sharp clouds but also taps into very warm and humid air all but also taps into very warm and humid airall away but also taps into very warm and humid air all away from the mid—atlantic. with warm and humid air more water content to go into the big clouds that will gradually feed up into the atmosphere and when that water content falls out it will fall out in some fashion. full storms will be brewing quite widely later today across parts of england and wales and northern ireland that evenin and wales and northern ireland that even in those areas and the met office warning area not everyone will see the storms. there is just a chance of thunderstorms at the moment because like popcorn in a very hot and they will go, but which will go first and which will go next? in the worst of the storms today given the fact of the aerosol

humid and water content so high storms will be very nasty indeed and could see a month or more worth of rain in some areas in the space of a few hours. that will lead to flash budding and the ground is dry at the moment on fields and almost like concrete itself and to go with it we could see large hail and gusty winds. not everyone even within warning areas will see the thundery downpours today. we have already seen some thunderstorms through the night and some towards the south and east and some towards north england and the far west of scotland and some now brewing across the south midlands and they will develop further through the rest of the day. a lot of you start sunday dry with a bit of cloud in england and wales and misty and south—eastern coast and misty and south—eastern coast and parts of scotland and south wales staying dry and even in the areas we see those showers and

thunderstorms we will see some avoid them altogether. a humid day, temperatures down a little and yesterday and on sunny spells it will feel particularly hot but as we go through into the afternoon and evening parts of the midlands, north england, north wales and the west and north of ireland and we will see thundery rain development across the southeast and northern england drifting north and parts of northern england and eastern scotland could see large rainfall amounts into tomorrow morning with flooding to start the new working week. a very muqqy start the new working week. a very muggy night for all going into monday but on monday in scotland after dry and bright weather familiar today cloud and outbreaks of rain quite widely. to the south we will see skies brighton and sunshine through tomorrow but it will be a scattering of showers with the odd thundery one nowhere near as severe as today. tomorrow temperatures up and humidity level down a touch but it will still feel

very humid and as we go through into tuesday with low pressure still close by with this weather front we could see thundery rain to the south—east and more thundery showers elsewhere. i like it when your map glows orange. tangerine. very good goal, that's the one i want. we will just leave it there. it's not something that all women feel comfortable talking about openly, but having one breast larger than the other is common. one woman was so fed up with searching for a bra that fitted properly, she started her own company to solve the problem. linzi kinghorn reports. it really affected me. like, i was — i would wear certain clothes that sort of covered my chest, i'd hold myself differently. this is natalie.

she lives in wimborne. one of her breasts is larger than the other. affect me mentally and emotionally. lovely wardrobe. that was when the now 32—year—old was a teenager. but it wasn't until years later that she finally got a diagnosis. i saw a consultant and i took my top off and he had a look and he said, "do you know that you've got poland syndrome, "or have you ever heard of poland syndrome?" poland syndrome is a rare condition that's characterised by underdevelopment of chest muscle. it usually affects one side of the body. but it's just one of the causes of uneven breasts. breast asymmetry is essentially any difference between the left and the right breast. a difference in the position of the breasts, so the left breast might sit it higher, the right breast might sit lower. it could be differences in nipple position. in protection of the breast which give the impression of one breast being larger than the other.

what's really important is the adjustment of the shoulder straps. research suggests up to 94% of women have one breast larger than the other. for many, it's not an issue. but actually, within that 94% of women, 10% of those are reported to have significant differences in size between the left and the right. and for those women, it's a real issue for them, it's a real consideration on a day—to—day basis. at the university of portsmouth, they're looking at the biomechanics of breast asymmetry and what can be done to avoid things like back and neck pain. bras can't cope with that significant difference where there's a big difference in breast volume. one woman from dorset was so fed up with a lack of adequate provisions on the market, she decided to create her own product.

when i was researching the idea and speaking to people about it, the resounding feedback from women were, "i can't find a bra that fits "both of my breasts well". and that's an issue that i'd had myself but i thought it was just unique to me and suddenly, i realised that actually, it's incredibly common. i conceived the bra balancer, which is a silicon breast prosthetic which is specifically formed for breast asymmetry, so rather than a traditional breast prosthetic which is designed to replace the entire breast, these are designed to replace just the void on a smaller size. but they're soft and natural—feeling, so they feel like natural breast tissue and they move like natural breast tissue and the weight is equivalent to the breast tissue that would be there, so that's why it provides that weight balance. it's often misconceived by doctors and the general public as, you know, as a cosmetic issue which absolutely it is not — it is a health issue. and i think for some women, they have asymmetrical breasts,

they're really embarrassed about it, they don't want to talk about it. but if we could get the message across that up to 94% of women have one breast larger than the other, hopefully, that starts to normalise it and it becomes less of a taboo topic area. people spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think and how other people see them when we've all got our own insecurities. nobody�*s really paying attention to anybody else's body. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning... we'll be chatting with paul harvey, the former music teacher living with dementia, who's raised more than £1.5 million for charity. paul's celebrating after being awarded an obe

in the king's birthday honours for his work. this was the moment it all started — when paul was given four random notes by his son nick to write a song. i'll give you some random notes and see if you can write a song. f natural, a... piano music. the bbc symphony orchestra recorded a full orchestral version. and we will be

talking to paul and nick in about half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. special prayers will be said in sunday services across nottingham today for the families and those affected by the attacks in the city. 19—year—old students barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and 65—year—old school caretaker ian coates were stabbed in the early hours of tuesday. we are joined now by the bishop of southwell and nottingham, the right reverend paul williams. thank you for being with us. talk to me about the services held today and the importance of being able to come together and remember those victims in this way. together and remember those victims in this wa . , ., ,, i. in this way. yes, thank you. let me sa , our in this way. yes, thank you. let me say. our hearts _ in this way. yes, thank you. let me say, our hearts and _ in this way. yes, thank you. let me say, our hearts and thoughts - in this way. yes, thank you. let me say, our hearts and thoughts and i say, our hearts and thoughts and prayers go out to the families and the close friends of grace, barnaby

webber and ian codes. as they have done over this last few days, people have come into our church buildings, people of other faves, coming into a place where they can be quiet and meet with others and process the shock of what has happened. all our churches will be place in which special prayers will be in place for the loved ones of those who were killed, but also to pray for those directly affected in other ways, including those seriously injured. we know people will be trying to make sense, if they can, of this week. talk about the role the church can play enough. i week. talk about the role the church can play enough-— can play enough. i think the church can play enough. i think the church can do what _ can play enough. i think the church can do what it _ can play enough. i think the church can do what it has _ can play enough. i think the church can do what it has done _ can play enough. i think the church can do what it has done over- can play enough. i think the church can do what it has done over these| can do what it has done over these past few days and what it always seeks do in circumstances, nothing like as traumatic as this. i was

here in nottingham on tuesday afternoon, we had the face of the prayer vigils held, especially for those who were bereaved, cruelly bereaved. there were wave upon wave of people pouring into the building here. looking to connect with others. people are looking for connections, looking for support, for comfort. it is not really about having answers, simple answers, to answer the big questions about why and what is happening in our world? more importantly, it is to communicate compassion, to share compassion, that is what i will be speaking about this morning in the service held later at 10:45am, speaking about the compassion that has been so powerful this week and

that was certainly, anyone who was part of the vigil, both at the university on wednesday and in market square on thursday evening, 5000 people gathered, and it was compassion. you could just feel it palpably, being expressed by those gathered from the city, all ages and backgrounds. nottingham pulling together and doing what it always does, and particular in times like this, people supporting each other. the church and other faith communities are at the heart of it. this is about striking the right balance, allowing the people to resume normality, not letting fear win, and finding a way to remember three innocent victims. yes. win, and finding a way to remember three innocent victims.— three innocent victims. yes, there is a balance- _ three innocent victims. yes, there is a balance- i— three innocent victims. yes, there is a balance. ithink— three innocent victims. yes, there is a balance. i think what - three innocent victims. yes, there is a balance. i think what has - is a balance. i think what has struck me over the past few days, nottingham isn't a city about to

move on. i don't think you can move on from something as terrible and tragic as this, but you can move in. people are moving in towards one another, that will continue to happen. at the same time, the hope surfaces that the compassion people show one another, the compassion that has been expressed, the kindness and love towards the families of grace, barnaby and ian, they have been touched by it under way nottingham has expressed it. i think hope just naturally surfaces through that extraordinary compassion, i did demonstrate that fear will not triumph. it is hoped that services, and that is what we have seen in small waves and extraordinary waves. band have seen in small waves and extraordinary waves. and that is a fittina extraordinary waves. and that is a fitting thought _ extraordinary waves. and that is a fitting thought on _ extraordinary waves. and that is a fitting thought on which _ extraordinary waves. and that is a fitting thought on which to - extraordinary waves. and that is a fitting thought on which to end. i fitting thought on which to end. thank you for being with us, right

reverend paul williams. loads of sport to talk about, but we will talk about football. it is the end of the league season, but what drama for scotland. l of the league season, but what drama for scotland-— for scotland. i think scotland stand eve one, for scotland. i think scotland stand everyone. in _ for scotland. i think scotland stand everyone, in particular— for scotland. i think scotland stand everyone, in particular erling - everyone, in particular erling haaland, who might have thought he would get a hero's welcome, but scotland had other ideas. scotland produced an extraordinary late fight back to win their euro 2024 qualifier against norway in oslo. trailing by an erling haaland goal with just moments to go, scotland scored twice in two minutes to pull off a famous win, maintaining their perfect start in the competiton. jo currie reports. commentator: scotland have produced the most dramatic of finishes. it was an unforgettable night in oslo. scottish national anthem plays.

as a 1—man team but when that man is earling haaland it is hard not to get distracted. scotland honouring the passing of their own giant, gordon mcqueen, by wearing black armbands. having kept haaland quiet before the break, he made his mark after it. the man city forward doing just enough to wind a spot kick. the penalty dispatch with power and precision. the fans relishing a rare chance to watch their hero on home soil. it took until the dying moments for scotland to finally threaten. dykes is there! lyndon dykes with the scrappiest of goals to draw them level, before kenny mclean secured a sensational comeback, to make it three wins from three in group a. scotland's dream start to their qualifying campaign continues. jo currie, bbc news. an unusually animated manager steve clarke. well, afterwards, both the goal scorers reacted to the shock result.

it isa it is a good feeling, especially being the winner, the lads did so much. we made the changes and we got momentum after the first goal. a great finish, and then to get the winner, you can feel it turning, goals change games. the manager speaks about being a squad effort, we've worked so hard. results like this make it wild. l we've worked so hard. results like this make it wild.— this make it wild. i am over the moon, this make it wild. i am over the moon. that _ this make it wild. i am over the moon, that was _ this make it wild. i am over the moon, that was a _ this make it wild. i am over the moon, that was a tough - this make it wild. i am over the moon, that was a tough game, | moon, that was a tough game, especially— moon, that was a tough game, especially the first half. they had the better of me the first half. it is so _ the better of me the first half. it is so tough, but it shows the character— is so tough, but it shows the character we had to come back. an amazing _ character we had to come back. an amazing feeling, but it isn't over yet. anything can happen. day three of the ashes is finely poised as australia return to the crease, chasing england's innings of 393. england couldn't have asked for a better start yesterday,

stuart broad took two wickets from two balls, dismissing opener david warner forjust nine. captain ben stokes followed that with the wicket of steve smith, australia 67—3 at that point. but usman khawaja broke that stride, reaching his 15th test century. he did survive a scare towards the end of the day when he was bowled by stuart broad, only for it to be ruled a no ball. so australia will return later, 82 runs behind england with 5 wickets remaining. we did create enough chances to properly bowl australia out today, but it doesn't strike me as a type of pitch you would get ten wickets in a day. very hard to get a player miss orfalse shot in a day. very hard to get a player miss or false shot out of a batter if they stay in their bubble. he played beautifully today. we are playing the long game, test matches

of five days long. we know the pitch stays slow, and wanted starts slow, but hopefully it will get worse and we will be in a good position. rory mcilroy is just one shot off the lead as he heads into the final round of the us open in los angeles. mcilroy — who won the last of his four major titles in 2014 — shot a one—under 69 to move to nine under overall. joint top of the leaderboard are americans rickie fowler and wyndham clark. mcilroy sounded confident that he could catch them. it felt like i played really smart golf, hit a lot of fairways and greens. sort of felt somewhat stress—free out there, if you can ever call golf at a us open stress—free but overall pretty pleased with how today went and feel like i am in a good spot heading into tomorrow. max verstappen will start tonight's canadian grand prix from pole after coming out on top in a rain affected qualifying

session in montreal. the world champion timed his run to perfection in the final session, clocking the quickest time just before oscar piastri crashed his mclaren, suspending qualifying. the rain worsened before the re—start, which meant none of the drivers could improve their times. nico hulkenberg initially qualified second, but he was given a three—place grid penalty for exceeding the speed limit under red—flag conditions. aston martin's fernado alonso will now start second and britain's lewis hamilton third for the first time since 1977, there will be an all—british final at an event on the wta tour, with katie boulter playing jodie burrage in the nottingham open final later today. it's a first tour final for british number one boulter after beating compatriot heather watson in straight sets. boulter is yet to drop a set so far in nottingham and cruised through the first, before mounting a comeback from 4—1 down to take the second 7—5. she's hopeful this could be

a breakthrough moment in her career. 0h, oh, god, i hope so. i've worked so hard for this, me and my team especially. i will keep plugging away, and if it isn't my moment, thatis away, and if it isn't my moment, that is fine, i will keep working hard. as we mentioned, boulter�*s opponent in the final is fellow britjodie burrage. she also came through her semi in straight sets, giving us the first all—british wta final in just under half a century to look forward to later today. and the good news for britain kept coming in the men's competition as well. andy murray moved into his second successive grass—court final with a win over portugal's nuno borges. it was a ninth straight victory for murray, including winning the surbiton trophy last sunday — can he make it a perfect ten? he will play french qualifier arthur cazaux later, someone he has trained with recently someone he has trained with recently. which means hopefully he knows how

he plays so hopefully he can beat him. who knows? just a reminder, if you want to follow the ashes, you can follow it online, and highlights on bbc two. can follow it online, and highlights on bbc two— can follow it online, and highlights on bbc two. hopefully they will be aood on bbc two. hopefully they will be good highlights. — on bbc two. hopefully they will be good highlights, from _ on bbc two. hopefully they will be good highlights, from an _ on bbc two. hopefully they will be good highlights, from an england i good highlights, from an england point of view. they will need to take more wickets. thank you, jane. football legend graeme souness has set off on his channel swim relay to raise money for people living with a rare skin condition, after being inspired by 14—year—old isla grist. here they were having dinner before the swim, with graeme holding up one of the tartan key rings isla made for the team to wish them good luck. the former scotland and liverpool star is aiming to raise £1.1 million for the debra charity, which supports isla and about 5,000 people in the uk who currently live with the genetic condition. they began the gruelling challenge late last night — graeme earlier said it's

unlike anything he's ever done before. we think conditions were pretty good for them, we think conditions were pretty good forthem, have we think conditions were pretty good for them, have been overnight and continuing today. fingers crossed. we will have all the latest tomorrow, we will speak to graeme and the team on bbc breakfast. a day at the seaside usually involves a stroll along the beach, a paddle in the water and maybe some fish and chips — but you don't often see a giant bronze head emerging from the sand. well, that's what people discovered this weekend in lowestoft, suffolk, when they went down to the front. mike liggins can tell us why. 7 just another day on the beach at lowestoft. two blokes in hard hats and a very big bronze head on the back of the trailer. nothing to see here, then. 0k. i think — i think it's that one, isn't it? yeah, yeah. it's going to be about that deep.

yeah. laurence edwards is world—renowned sculptor and his latest work, chthonic head, is going into the sand for a month. i've always tried to put sculptures in dynamic landscapes — estuaries, rivers, places where it's gonna move and shift. this is gonna be monitoring — almost a barometer of the kind of tide, the weather, even the moon when it controls the ocean, it's gonna be now a part of nature, in a sense. laurence did the big yoxman figure, you might remember. at his foundry in halesworth, his team bang and crash and create things of wonder. this is the big head being finished off. it's a big moment for him — a return to lowestoft, where he started his art education. it wasn't going too well for me educationally and i didn't — i wasn't getting opportunities. in fact, the opposite — people were saying no to me. and lowestoft was the place that gave me my chance. back on the beach, the installation is not straightforward.

there is much pushing and shoving and debate about the best angle for the head. so, are you happy with it like that? very much. are you? no, i'm very happy. it's the first light arts festival this weekend and organisers are hope the big head will be a big hit. i think it's gonna work really well, don't you? yes. i think people are already, you know, drawn to it like a magnet. it's kind of risen up out of the sand, almost out of nowhere, and — and looks mysterious and mesmerising, really, so i think it's going to be a huge hit. i think people are going to love the chthonic head, watching it watching us, watching the tide come and go. it is really spectacular looking. if you were to come across it and you didn't know it was there, you would

be surprised. just looming there. very beautiful. the weather, changeable if you are thinking about heading to the beach. you wouldn't want to have one of those behind you. you wouldn't, exactly. the sea is warm this time of the year, but look at that, in sheffield, a spectacular capture of some lightning. a stormy day ahead for some, but not all. out towards the worse, an area of low pressure, the tell—tale sign of the cloud swirling around in an anticlockwise direction, up humoured are. we will get some thunderstorms across france, bringing them towards us. with that humid air, we will see some torrential thunderstorm is through the day. the day. the worst could come with over a month's worth of rain in a couple of hours. wind

and gale and flash flooding as wealth. the storms won't be everywhere. even if you have a risk shown, it is a risk, not a certainty, because they develop erotically. the met office have yellow warnings out across these areas, much of england, all of wales on the western half of northern ireland. even here, some of you will stay dry. you are most likely to see a storm here, especially nasty ones, with some disruption. that is all coming our way. we've already seen some showers through the night into the morning. this is where the rain showers are, we've seen some drifting across northern england and developing across the midlands. a few showers at the moment, most stark try but cloud, hazy sunshine developing. low cloud to the

north—east of scotland, but much of scotland will have a dry and sunny day. in the sunshine, with the humidity levels, it will feel hotter in the blue sky moments. cooler when the rain is falling. let's focus on where the rainstorms will be into the evening and afternoon. it does look like some of the worst could be the midlands, northern england and towards the south—east. they will merge into some longer spells of rain this evening, working their way northwards. some in wales, certainly staying dry. as it pushes into scotland tomorrow, the risk of some flooding with relentless rain. like last night, a very humid night, temperatures for some in the upper teens, never mind mid to. for scotland, extensive rain, easing from the south through the morning. away from that, sunny spells,

scattering rain. so more sunshine tomorrow. humid, not as humid as today, but hot with high pollen levels. no pressure on monday, but we have to watch france because to the south—east corner of england, we could see some longer spells of thundery rain overnight and into tuesday. slowly clearing away, but they could be further west. as the sunshine comes, temperatures rise, the thunderclouds go up and slow—moving thunderstorms on tuesday. temperatures in the lower 20s, feeling fresher on wednesday, but more showers for the rest of the week. oh, can you show me the rich map again? my favourite. oh, it has gone —— orange map. you spoiled us with the nice 23 degrees. just about

perfect. on breakfast we've been following the story of paul harvey, the former music teacher living with dementia who's raised an astonishing amount of money for charity. after paul improvised song from four random notes given by his son, his piece of music went viral and after featuring his story on breakfast, he recorded the song he created with the bbc philharmonic orchestra. soothing music
