thanks very much. we'll catch up with you both within a moment. officials in california have confirmed remains found in the san gabriel mountains are those of the british actorjulian sands. remains were found by hikers while saturday, the coroner and local sheriff department have confirmed they are those of the 65—year—old actor. the manner of his death is still under investigation. he was known for rooms like the killing fields, oceans 13, a room with a view and arachnophobia. his family said they will always hold him in their hearts is a wonderfulfather, will always hold him in their hearts is a wonderful father, husband, explorer and performer.

lewis capaldi lewis ca paldi has lewis capaldi has announced he's taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future to spend more time looking after his physical and mental health. scottish singer performed at glastonbury festival here in the uk over the weekend, but struggled to finish his set as he experienced tics linked to tourette syndrome. in a statement on social media he said... lets go live to alex bushel, head of media at mind. thank you for coming on the programme. hi. media at mind. thank you for coming on the programme.— media at mind. thank you for coming on the programme._ what i media at mind. thank you for coming i on the programme._ what do on the programme. hi, louis. what do ou make on the programme. hi, louis. what do you make of — on the programme. hi, louis. what do you make of that _ on the programme. hi, louis. what do you make of that statement _ on the programme. hi, louis. what do you make of that statement therefrom j you make of that statement therefrom lewis capaldi? l you make of that statement therefrom lewis capaldi?— lewis capaldi? i think it's fantastic _ lewis capaldi? i think it's fantastic that _ lewis capaldi? i think it's fantastic that he - lewis capaldi? i think it's fantastic that he is - lewis capaldi? i think it's . fantastic that he is censoring himself in the way he is. he said

it's one of the hardest decisions of his life. we have volunteers at glastonbury who were there, and i'm sure many, many viewers will have seen the footage of him on stage. we know music speaks to us often in a way that words fail, music does speak, and i think that's what sums up speak, and i think that's what sums up what happened there. the crowd spontaneously singing his lyrics alongside him. it represents a moment in time where social norms, values around mental health have really changed. just go back 20 years, the same age he is now myself, but the way that we have normalised conversation around anxiety, and particularly depression, is transformative. and

part of that journey depression, is transformative. and part of thatjourney has been completely powered by people in the public eye — celebrities, music stars, sports stars as well talking about the mental health. our own research says one in three people who will have seen lewis capaldi, seeing that coverage around this, will themselves now, one in three, start a mental health conversation about themselves or someone they love. itjust goes to show the incredible power that people in the public i have when they are able to speak about their own mental health. that is a speak about their own mental health. that is - . , speak about their own mental health. that is . , ., , . that is a remarkable statistic. he talked about _ that is a remarkable statistic. he talked about going _ that is a remarkable statistic. he talked about going later- that is a remarkable statistic. he talked about going later to - that is a remarkable statistic. he talked about going later to workl that is a remarkable statistic. he l talked about going later to work on his health. the people i suppose aren't familiar with that phrase. perhaps 20 years ago, it wasn't so

common, what does it mean more generally when people say they're working on the mental health? it’s working on the mental health? it�*s different things for different people. it depends on where they are in their diagnosis. we know that with lewis, aside from the tourette's, he's spoken very eloquently about his issues. one thing that's interesting about all of this is there is sometimes a trap you fall into when you look at people, you think they're in vegetable and live cam turbid life, but mental health doesn't discriminate. —— invincible and live a pampered life. actually stopping, prioritising, really trying to connect can be powerfulfor any prioritising, really trying to connect can be powerful for any of us and of us. if you're in crisis,

if you're feeling like not coping in those last for a long time, you should go to a gp. it might be a primary care or the nhs can help. there are huge amounts of resources & hosting out there just to understand a little bit more about what's going on with you. that would include the mind info or web pages. if you're in crisis, it's a bit more difficult and there are samaritans and other services. it means different things to different people, but in this moment, where somebody like lewis capaldi somebody like lewis ca paldi unashamedlyjust somebody like lewis capaldi unashamedly just owns where somebody like lewis capaldi unashamedlyjust owns where he's at and says, "look, i need to put myself first," it does empower him and it empowers all of us to do something similar and really addresses that point about stigma. while i have said that the journey has been an incredibly transformative one. to a great

degree, there is still stigma. interestingly, that is across generations. we know that men are finding it harder to speak about mental health and we know that young people still struggle, too. 18 to 2li—year—olds talk about their will and it's to talk about mindy health issues. i don't know it... i tend to think youngsters are more in tune with this, but half of them said they probably wouldn't talk about it because they were concerned they would bejudge, and that's because they were concerned they would be judge, and that's that stigma. would be 'udge, and that's that stiima. ., ,. ., would be 'udge, and that's that stiima. ., �* would be 'udge, and that's that stiuma. . �* �* , stigma. fascinating. alex bushell, thank ou stigma. fascinating. alex bushell, thank you so _ stigma. fascinating. alex bushell, thank you so much. _ stigma. fascinating. alex bushell, thank you so much. great - stigma. fascinating. alex bushell, thank you so much. great to - stigma. fascinating. alex bushell, thank you so much. great to see l stigma. fascinating. alex bushell, i thank you so much. great to see you. just going to bring in our panel on this. nadine, it was very difficult not to be emotional watching lewis capaldi performing at glastonbury and the crowd singing the end of this on the wouldn't quite finish. —— the song. it's amazing how he has

captain agrees more has to be done. cricket needs to celebrate diversity on all fronts, because without it, this game would not be where it is today. as a sport, we need to learn from past mistakes and do all we can to make people feel safe and be themselves at every level. i have been a player since 2011 and i feel very fortunate to have been a part of some incredibly diverse teams and love how everyone has a different story to tell. we must go further and be more inclusive and diverse because the game i love in the millions worldwide love should be enjoyed without fear of discrimination orjudgment, whether discrimination or judgment, whether that discrimination orjudgment, whether that be do to your upbringing, race or gender. that be do to your upbringing, race or render. �* ., , ., or gender. among the findings from the commission _ or gender. among the findings from the commission for— or gender. among the findings from the commission for equity, - or gender. among the findings from the commission for equity, those i the commission for equity, those experiencing discrimination don't report it due to a lack of trust and the authorities and women were seen as subordinate to men at all levels. in terms of pay, they say the women's game receives of in an

through the atmosphere and is carried across the atlantic by the jet stream, and over the next couple of days, we've got this fairly high level of wildfire smoke high up in the earth's atmosphere that will add to a reddening of the sunrise and sunset perhaps where you are, but no concerns with air quality because that smoke is really high up in the earth's atmosphere. now, one thing that could get in the way of that is cloud, and behind this warm front we've got some very humid air working its way and behind this warm front, we've got some very humid air working its way in off the atlantic, and with that, a lot of low cloud and drizzle is expected, and so we start off the day on wednesday with a lot of cloud around, some drizzle, quite extensively, i think, across wales, western england, probably the south of england, too. a band of heavier rain crosses northern ireland and scotland through the day, with brighter conditions following to west scotland and northern ireland, so that's probably where the best of the sunshine will be, but quite late in the day. if we see sunshine across eastern england, temperatures could hit around 25 degrees. it will feel pretty warm and muggy and humid in that. now, through wednesday evening and overnight, that band of rain, our weather

front, slowly pushes its way eastwards. the rain gets a bit heavier as it works across the midlands and central—southern england as well. behind that feature, we start to get some fresher air moving back in across scotland and northern ireland, so a more comfortable night's sleep on the cards here. for thursday, we are going to get fresher air moving in off the atlantic, but it's going to take a while to reach eastern england, where we'll have that potentially very slow—moving weather front, and the front itself could bring some very heavy falls of rain for much of the day across parts of the east. that rain may well be quite welcome where you are because, in parts of essex, we've only seen 7mm of rain all month, so it has been exceptionally dry. bright skies, cooler and fresher air, generally more comfortable weather conditions i think for most working in, temperatures high teens to low 20s, so a bit closer to average for those temperatures for the time of year. now, we see something of a change in the weather picture into friday. we've got another area of low pressure starting to form to the north—west, bringing some prolonged, heavy outbreaks of rain to scotland

and probably northern ireland. elsewhere, a lot of cloud around, feeling quite humid with a few showers and thunderstorms moving across england and wales. temperatures generally about 18—22 degrees celsius. now, beyond that, through the weekend and into the early part of next week, the jet stream is going to be quite strong for the time of year, and taking quite a straight path right across the uk. it's going to encourage an area of low pressure to sit to the north—west, bringing rain or showers across north—western areas. the pressure probably a bit higher in the south, where we should see some sunny spells, but maybe even one or two showers here as well. temperatures for the most part high teens to low 20s, so much closer to average for the time of the year. that's how the weather's looking. take care. bye for now.
