1:49 pm
sacha lord has written to home secretary suella braverman urging her to allow on—site testing in "pop-up labs" to go ahead. he says festivals had been doing this for at least ten years until last month, when the government told him a licence would be needed for the first time. sacha lord joins me now. how does testing of illegal drugs work at festivals? normally, what happens is confiscations are discovered on entry with our search policy. they are taken by the police, back of house, to an on—site temporary laboratory that is manned by scientists. there, they will test the confiscations, and within two minutes, will be able to tell what is in that, whether it is a powder or tablet. is in that, whether it is a powder ortablet. if is in that, whether it is a powder or tablet. if it is something very worrying, we can put pictures up on social media, winning attendees and the public in general. but what is more important, also, i have seen with my own eyes as well that it is potentially on—site life—saving, so
1:50 pm
you could get a very very poorly customer, and the doctors can immediately say to their friends, give a description of what they have taken, and at that point, the scientist will find something similar in the confiscations, tested, and tell the doctors what is in that tablet or powder. and it could potentially give that customer a fighting chance. how much warning were you given of change and what are you asking for? the biggest problem is that we were given 48 hours notice, and the home office then said... bear in mind we have been doing this since 2013, so the home office said that you need a licence. we don't have an issue with that, but we have an issue with the fact that they told us 48 hours were poon fact that they told us 48 hours were poor, and the license can take up to three months to get it. you are not guaranteed to get it. —— 48 hours before. that is potentially wiped out a lot of festivals back a pulse testing this summer. they have also told us it has to take place on a
1:51 pm
permanent building, whereas previously, we have done this in portakabin that are manned by police. i don't know how many times people actually brick buildings in festivals, but i can't think of one. so your main problem is that you are happy to have an approved tester, but it is the infrastructure associated with it?- but it is the infrastructure associated with it? what we have said is with _ associated with it? what we have said is with the _ associated with it? what we have said is with the timing, _ associated with it? what we have said is with the timing, let - associated with it? what we have said is with the timing, let us - said is with the timing, let us carry on in—house testing this season, as we have done for the last decade, and then we will sit sit down with you at some point in september or october, so if we have to pay for licences, we don't have a problem with that, but let's be realistic. not many festivals have permanent brick buildings, so if it is a portacabin that we have used before, and we pay for police to be in there, then fine, we can operate that way, but let's work together, because as it stands now, with no on—site tobacco pulse testing, it
1:52 pm

1:53 pm
that took them by surprise was again a home office document, asking for on—site testing to be carried out in a shed portacabin with two chairs and a desk. so at that point, they cut the meeting short, and said they would have to go back and take advice from ministers. so i am urgently telling them to come back this week, let's work together and get the season out of the way, and all be asking for is to be able to test a back of house, like we have been doing for the past decade, and then we will work with the home office, through into 2024. by the way mark, nobody here is condoning drugs. we are condoning a harm reduction. because ultimately, as organisers, if authorities cannot stop drugs getting into category a persons, then what are we supposed to do with parks and fields? thank ou so to do with parks and fields? thank you so much _ to do with parks and fields? thank you so much for— to do with parks and fields? thank you so much forjoining _ to do with parks and fields? thank you so much forjoining us. -- - you so much forjoining us. —— category a prisons. a sparkling wine produced by 20—year—old ashton kirby, the uk's youngest winegrower, has been awarded a coveted gold medal at this year's wines of great britain awards. just two years on from taking over an old, non—commercial
1:54 pm
vineyard near wadhurst, the wine—maker now produces a range of red, white and sparkling english wines — four of them award—winners. i ended up running a vineyard at the age of 20, kind of by chance. before me and my family moved here, i had no experience with farming or viticulture. i was — i hate to say it — i was a complete townie. i had more or less, other than drinking a bottle here and there, no experience with wine. i was about to finish my last year of college and i didn't have a clue what i was going to do with my life. i, sort of, was granted this amazing opportunity to take this vineyard that was sort of rundown and make something out of it. these are some of the oldest vines in england. we think they're about 50—plus years old. we know they were planted
1:55 pm
in the 70s, which is 30 years before i was born, which isjust sort of mad to think about. through the passion and the love for it, i sort of forced myself to learn. and now, three orfour years down the line, i'm sort of, you know, i'm not an expert, but i'm pretty much there. i think the most rewarding part of thejob, which i've experienced quite a lot recently, is people smiling when they try my wine. all the blood, sweat and tears i've put into it, turning into this moment where people try a wine and they sort of think. "yeah." "that's really nice." wine growing really has become all consuming, but i love it. all—consuming, but i love it. it's an industry that doesn't have a lot of young people. it doesn't have a lot of young people who like sort of, i don't know, rock music and have a funny mullet. winning an award at wine gb gold is fantastic to me because i feel i deserve it. i don't mean that in an arrogant way. it's just it's nice for people to finally recognise all the hard work you're putting in.
1:56 pm
it's unprecedented having a winemaker so young making wine so good because a lot of winemakers go through trial and error trying to improve their wines. but he's come in already. he's winning awards. it's fantastic. it makes getting out of bed in the morning or struggling in the heat or struggling in the cold weather injanuary... it makes it worth it. 20—year—old ashton kirby, the uk's youngest wine grower there. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello. we're looking at an unsettled start to the new week. today, broadly speaking, it's a day of sunny spells and showers, although there are some longer spells of rain around, particularly for northern england and across northern areas of scotland where the weather is going to be quite wet today. nevertheless, for many of you, it is a day that you might spot a rainbow or two in the skies like this one from northern ireland
1:57 pm
sent to us earlier on. so probably some of the heaviest rain will be working across northern england to lincolnshire. showers break out across east anglia. south east england. yes, i think we probably will see a shower at wimbledon, but any rain interruptions, probably quite short lived, maybe ten or 15 minutes, and then the sun shall be back out. temperatures for the most part, a little bit below average, generally about 17 to 19 degrees celsius today. overnight tonight, many of the showers ease for a time, although there'll be some more rain developing across wales and south west england later in the night. and our rain band in northern scotland will slowly trickle towards the central lowlands overnight as well. now tomorrow, it is another unsettled one. however, i think we are looking at potentially some much longer spells of rain, especially across parts of eastern and southern england. now, i think the rain here could be much more extensive, further northwards and much slower to clear as well. so bear that in mind. you can see a rain band working across scotland and northern ireland. so a bit of wet weather there. in between should see some spells of sunshine.
1:58 pm
temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year, generally into the high teens. but for wimbledon tomorrow, i think we're looking at a high chance of seeing some quite prolonged spells where the rain will be affecting play. now we'll take a look at the weather picture into the middle part of the week. and the low pressure is still with us, but it's weakening and it's mainly to the northwest of the uk. it means that it's here where we'll see the lion's share of the showers on wednesday. but otherwise, i think showers much less widespread. and so there should be more of you that stay dry with a bit more in the way of sunshine around. and given that, it should start to get a little bit warmer, temperatures reaching the low 20s. now, there are going to be some changes towards the end of the week. a weather front could bring some particularly heavy rains to the western side of the uk, perhaps even heavy enough to cause some localised surface water flooding. but certainly winds across more eastern areas will drag up some much hotter air. so for some, temperatures could get towards the upper 20s through friday and saturday.
