was the most likely cause of the blaze in cambridge and they urged other owners to be aware of the risks. simonjones reports. flowers to mark three lives lost. the fire inside the flat broke out in the early hours of last friday morning. gemma germeney died at the scene. she was 31. her daughter, lilly peden, who was eight, and her son 0liver, who was four, died later in hospital. a man in his thirties remains in a critical condition. the fire service says the blaze started accidentally and the most probable cause was an electric bike that was charging. obviously, an e—bike will have a lithium ion battery, normally, on the bike, the same as on an e—scooter, on hoverboards, in your mobile phones. most devices have got them in a range of different sizes, and if they get too hot, they can explode and cause a really intense fire. and i think that's what we're seeing here. family members of the three who died say they're devastated by the tragedy. the emergency services say they're aware that e—bikes and e—scooters are becoming increasingly common,

but they're urging anyone who owns one to be aware of the potential dangers of batteries overheating. and the advice is don't charge them at night, but charge them in the day instead when people are more alert and able to react more quickly if something goes wrong. these shocking pictures from illingworth in west yorkshire show what can happen in extreme cases. here, an electric motorbike was left on charge inside overnight. four people were taken to hospital, but fortunately nobody received life—threatening injuries. i'm mark from the fire service. in cambridge, residents are being offered help on safety issues. e—bikes can be an environmentally—friendly way to get around, but the fire service says make sure you use the battery recommended by the manufacturer and the correct charging cables. simonjones, bbc news, cambridge. let's speak now to our reporter, zoie 0'brien, who's in cambridge.

zoie, a community still very much in shock? good morning. residents here waking up good morning. residents here waking up on another very difficult day as they try to come to terms with the devastation caused by this fire. just over my shoulder here you can see the police cordon remains in place. behind that the tributes that have been left, flowers left in tribute to gemma, aged 31. the cuddly toys on the ground are growing, it is a very quiet morning, the mood is very sombre. this is a close—knit community. we know of course they will still be waiting for news. there is a man in his 30s who remains in a critical condition in hospital. as well as neighbours and family friends, people have been

here to lay their tributes. they have said they are shocked and devastated by the tragedy. now of course repeated warnings being given again today by the fire service about e—bikes and e—scooters. not leaving them charging overnight and keeping them on for longer than they need to be after the battery is full. the warnings being given again today. they say they do not want to cause panic and there are reputable projects out there and be very careful with anything that is plugged in. == careful with anything that is plugged im— careful with anything that is lued in. , ,., . , what has to be need this morning? ——

what else do we need to know this morning? palestinian officials say about 3,000 people have fled their homes in thejenin refugee camp since israel launched a major military operation in the occupied west bank. hundreds of troops are taking part in what israel calls a counter—terrorism operation but palestinian officials have described it as an invasion. 0ur middle east correspondent anna foster is injerusalem. how intense has the fighting being in the last few hours? we how intense has the fighting being in the last few hours?— how intense has the fighting being in the last few hours? we have seen ictures in the last few hours? we have seen pictures from _ in the last few hours? we have seen pictures from inside _ in the last few hours? we have seen pictures from inside the _ in the last few hours? we have seen pictures from inside the camp - in the last few hours? we have seen pictures from inside the camp this . pictures from inside the camp this morning, sally. it looks relatively peaceful. when you consider how fierce the fighting was this time yesterday morning. we have been told by the israeli defence forces it is an ongoing operation, they still have soldiers in the pan. in the last few hours they discovered another store of explosives they found a major say. one of the key issuesis found a major say. one of the key issues is a number of civilians in that very small, very densely packed

refugee camp within the town of jenin. whole generation sometimes live in one flat, one room. to have something less scale happen has caused real concern in some quarters. videos were circulating, some on foot, some in cars. some made home—made white flags to lift. there are still many thousand inside. what we do not know at this stage is how much longer this operation will continue for. the israeli said they wanted to send a clear message and dismantle the militant networks operating within the camp. how much longer that will take we do not know.—

the bosses of britain's four biggest banks have been summoned by the regulator to explain why interest rates for savers are not rising as fast as those for borrowers. the chief executives of lloyds, hsbc, natwest and barclays are to meet the financial conduct authority on wednesday. 0fficals are expected to discuss with the banks the pricing of cash savings and how they communicated with their customers on rates. it comes as banks have been accused of profiteering. the government says it will change the law to ensure fuel retailers publish their prices to combat overcharging after a watchdog said motorists paid an average of 6p extra per litre for petrol and diesel at supermarkets last year. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. nick, what more can you tell us? the government thinks that motorists are being used as cash cows. that is how one minister put it yesterday, people being ripped off by the prices. since the war in ukraine, the cost of petrol and diesel has come up and then started to fall. as it went up because we were paying

went up as well. it is not falling as fast as the price of wholesale gas has fallen. basically, what the watchdog has found is that the margins that supermarkets are making where basically the amount they buy it for versus the amount they sell it for versus the amount they sell it for, that has gone up. they are making extra money from it. the government is changing the law to make the supermarkets and other retailers provide real—time information about how much their prices are, to allow people to go online or to go on to apps and figure out the cheapest place to get petrol or diesel. the supermarkets have said, look, our margins on petrol and diesel still are not that much and other costs have gone up as well. the government is not buying it and says it will take further action if needs be.— it and says it will take further

action if needs be. the french president, emmanuel macron, is meeting more than 200 mayors of areas affected by the disorder which followed the shooting of a teenager by police. it's thought the meeting later today will focus on understanding the root causes of the unrest. 0ur correspondent, tom symonds, has the latest. nanterre overnight, the paris neighbourhood where all this started. quiet but threatening. after a bbc team was surrounded by hostile men while trying to film, we stayed in the car for safety, but there were no signs of trouble. the biggest protests yesterday were very different. this does seem like something of a turning point. after violent protests at night, this is the response — a peaceful protest in the daytime, in a quiet part of paris. and, at the middle of it, the mayor whose home was attacked. this was the parisian suburb of l'hay—les—roses, its people surrounding their mayor with support. two nights ago, protesters rammed

vincentjeanbrun�*s house with a car, injuring his wife. i asked how she was. "not very well," he said, "it's a difficult situation." but this protest had a purpose. translation: it's really strong what happened today, - because it shows that when we are on our own, we're weak. but when we are together, we are strong. this unity is what we're trying to build, and i hope that this will be able to spread across france at all levels of our fragile democracy. this week of chaos has often targeted symbols of the state. here, the town hall was protected by razor wire to prevent the damage done to public buildings elsewhere. today, the french president, emmanuel macron, will meet local politicians. his officials have said the government sees what's happened as delinquency more than a revolt by poor neighborhoods.

but, in the next few days, he'll doubtless face new demands to take a long, hard look at the state of french society. tom symonds, bbc news, paris. thames water will appear in court for sentencing today after admitting charges relating to polluting rivers. the court earlier heard how millions of litres of undiluted sewage caused rivers to turn "black" and kill more than 1,000 fish near gatwick airport in october 2017. facebook owner meta says it will be launching its own app to rival twitter this week. "threads" is a "text based conversation app" that will go live on thursday, according to the company, and will be linked to instagram. plans for the orkney islands to change its status within the uk or even become a self—governing territory of norway are set to be debated by councillors today. a motion will go before the local authority to investigate "alternative forms of governance." but the prime minister's spokesperson rejected a suggestion

the islands could loosen their ties with the union. next month, the congestion charging zone in central london will be expanded across the whole capital, as part of the mayor's flagship clean—air policy. it's a controversial move, which is being challenged by five of london's borough councils today in the high court. 0ur transport correspondent, katy austin, has the details. it's completely unbearable. ruth believes any attempt to clean up the air is a good thing. this is one reason why. her young son hospitalised by a severe asthma attack. we are living with toxic levels of air pollution. and this is having really devastating consequences on people's health, notjust children's health, everybody�*s health. london's ultra low emission zone is aimed at cutting the number of older, polluting vehicles on the road. there is a £12.50 daily charge for driving models which don't meet certain emission standards. from late august, it is due to

expand to cover all london boroughs. there is a scrappage scheme to help eligible individuals, or businesses, ditch their noncompliant vehicles. but ciaran, who only bought this van 18 months ago, says that won't work for him. i use my van every day for work. i'm a landscaper. he wants more time to make a change. in the position i am being put in, my van must still be on the road and i'm going to be put into debt. i'm going to have to pay over £4,500 a year. so, i hate to say it, but i will have to pass it the customers. the expansion plan has been controversial. five local councils have launched a legal challenge. i think it is the wrong solution at the wrong time. i think putting a charge for everyone at this time, with the cost of living crisis, is a real problem for me. also, actually it won't deal with the problem of clean air in london. there are many better ways of dealing with that problem. a spokesperson for the mayor of london, sadiq khan, said he had been

clear his decision to expand ulez london wide was not an easy one. but they said 4,000 londoners a year die prematurely from air pollution. around the country, the number of clean air zones has been growing in recent years. for example, birmingham and bristol both have one. the plan to widen london's ulez has attracted protests. and some cameras have been vandalised. the mayor's spokesperson said he would robustly defend the expansion in court and continue with preparations for it to come into force. katy austin, bbc news. the moon has left people gazing up at the sky after appearing brighter and larger than usual last night. this was last nights buck moon passing over the shard in london. july's supermoon is appearing full for up to three days and it's closer than normal in its orbit around the earth. it also appeared over cheshire.

do let us know and sending some pictures. if you can beat those stunning. not the best evening to watch the moon last night that it is around for few days. it's the second day of wimbledon and carol's there yesterday it was beautiful early morning sunshine, today not so much. yesterday rain interrupted play at wimbledon and today the same. the rain will develop during the course of the day. for most of us it is a chilly start, a fair bit of cloud around. the forecast is rain. um, sunny spells and showers for others. even some drizzle in the forecast

today. already showers and a lot of cloud coming in across the south of england and south wales. across scotland and northern ireland again a fair bit of ploughed around. light rain and drizzle. through the day across southern scotland and northern england as the front slip south there could be thunderstorms. the rain really developing across the south of england. some of it will be heavy. top temperature is 21. this evening and overnight eventually the rain in the south will ease away. it will linger longest across east anglia. also cloud and rain across scotland, northern ireland and northern england with temperatures falling away between seven and 11 degrees. into tomorrow, a day of sunshine and showers. a lot of the showers will be in the west. many of us will miss them with variable amounts of cloud. turning the sunshine hazy. temperatures up to 20, possibly 21

in any of the sunshine. after that it turns warmer, particularly towards the end of the week. also more humid. it does not mean it will be bone dry. more humid. it does not mean it will be bone dry-— be bone dry. thank you very much. ho efull be bone dry. thank you very much. hepefully that _ be bone dry. thank you very much. hopefully that covers _ be bone dry. thank you very much. hopefully that covers coming - be bone dry. thank you very much. hopefully that covers coming off. l be bone dry. thank you very much. j hopefully that covers coming off. it is a big day. let's take a look at today's papers. many of them focus on the high cost of living in the uk, in particular accusations that supermarkets have been charging drivers filling up at the pumps 6p per litre more than they should have been last year. the mirror's headline is that motorists were charged an extra £900 million on the forecourt last year. the times says that drivers could soon be able to swerve rip off retailers by using an online "petrol price checker" to compare prices. the paper says that the government has agreed with a recommendation for a "fuel finder scheme." in its main story,

the financial times reports that the chief executives of hsbc, natwest, lloyds and barclays have been summoned by the watchdog to address concerns that savings rates are lagging behind the surging cost of mortgages. the paper says they are facing accusations of profiteering from rising interest rates. and the 'i" says some 67% of the british public want a cap on supermarket prices to help during the cost of living crisis. the paper also claims that its poll suggests the public supports rishi sunak�*s plan to cut inflation rather than taxes. let's look at the inside pages now. there is a story here in the times that and and debt are bringing back byker grove. —— ant and dec. it was

a life—threatening turn. suzanne allan has been to meet them. ? alexa, call help. three words that saved a life. emma anderson was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at 15. it's when the heart muscle is too thick to function properly and causes blackouts, exhaustion and sometimes a lack of speech. from age two, darcey knew her mum had a problem. we always told darcey from a young age that mummy had a sore heart, that sometimes mummy needed some help to feel better, and that was that. darcy's dad works six days a week, so gran is on hand when there's an emergency. 0n alexa, you can go through and add an emergency contact. so i added my mum. i'd always say to darcey, if mummy�*s not well, you can go and you ask alexa to call help. it will call granny and granny will come straight away. and she's, like, "right, 0k." it works as a phone call. so she was talking to my mum through the device as well. mum answered it like a phone call. darcey says to her granny, "mummy�*s not well. granny says, "i'm on my way, sweetheart. just you stay talking to me."

my mum was in within a minute. just over a year ago, emma had a heart transplant, but recovered just in time to marry husband connor. walking down the aisle before the transplant would have been impossible. now she has a totally new life and is incredibly grateful to the donor's family. they've gave you something that you could never repay. they've lost something massive in their lives. it's not a miracle cure. it still definitely comes with its ups and downs. hello, granny. now emma can pick darcey up from school and do things most of us take for granted. honestly, the best thing, swimming. i took her to the swimming. i couldn't do that before with a fear of passing out. emma would not be alive today if it wasn't for darcey. honestly, she's just a superstar. she's amazing. i mean, she has her moments, like all kids do. she's no angel by far, but she's... yeah, she is my little miracle, so she is. suzanne allan, bbc news.

well done! technology can be amazing as well, can't it. when it comes to a long wait — 400 years is definitely up there — and that's how long it's been since the last recorded birth of a beaver in staffordshire. visitors to the trentham estate have been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a new kit — that's a baby beaver — on a night time camera. 400 years! how do they know the one 400 years! how do they know the one 400 years! how do they know the one 400 years ago was real. 0ur reporter liz copper has been to find out more. these nighttime pictures confirmed what rangers had hoped. in trentham lake, a beaver kit has been born. i think what's most amazing about those photos is seeing that this is the first time that a young beaver has been in staffordshire for 400 years.

and to be sort of the facilitator of that landmark is just unbelievable. it was three months ago that beavers were released here at trentham, they'd been transferred from a reserve in scotland and already they've made themselves at home. the beavers have been really busy. we can see the characteristic gnawing of the beavers. what they're doing is they're felling these large sycamore in order to feed on the leaves and the branches higher up. and this is part of the rationale of why we have beavers here at trentham — is they are a natural form of management. for visitors, the chance to catch a glimpse of the beaver family is fascinating. ijust think it's something different and it's interesting for everyone, the children and everyone to see. well, it is exciting, yeah, because they've sort - of practically were wiped out, weren't they, at one time. i so yeah, really good — really good news. - it just shows that obviously they are comfortable and it's nice and they're feeling happy there, aren't they? so, and to come here to such a public place. visitors are being asked to be mindful of the new kit.

it'll need peace and quiet and shouldn't be disturbed. everyone's being asked to use the footpaths and keep a respectful distance. mum's obviously experienced. she came down from scotland. she'd already bred for a couple of years before she came to us. and so i think the chances that this youngster is going to have a happy, healthy life is fairly, fairly high. the young beaver might not become fully independent until its two years old, and it's likely to spend all its adult life here in these tranquil waters. liz copper, bbc news at the trentham estate. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning... # he's got the whole world in his hands.# do you remember any of them from school? we'll meet the teacher who's racked

up more than a million views online with his nostalgic tunes from morning assembly. do let us know what your favourites worth. we have a top ten coming up, haven't we? we will sit on the fore with legs crossed and fingers on our lips. shall we do that? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. a high court hearing begins today, over the planned expansion of the ultra low emission zone. five conservative councils launched legal action over the scheme, which is due to be extended across london at the end of august. the mayor's office insists it's vital to clean up the capital's air, and said it would continue with preparations. and we'll have more on the judicial review across bbc london. and to see the arguments for and against ulez, head over to our website. from today you'll be able to tap in and tap out

at another 53 stations across the south east. it means passengers can use their contactless payment bank card at more locations to travel in and out london. the scheme aims to make travelling simpler and more convenient for commuters. the nhs turns 75 this week. and we've been speaking to londoners who work for the service, and those who've been helped by it. carlos had a stroke while on duty at kings hospital last year. he was treated by staff there, and has now made a recovery. he's been meeting the team who helped save his life. i was on call and i had a patient, who was carlos. he presented to us with a stroke. and we did some scans. you know, it's a big team who can certainly help patients. and sometimes we save patients' lives, that's absolutely true, and it does make you feel you're doing a very worthwhile job. large pits said to be from the stone age have been

discovered on a building site in bedfordshire. archaeologists have found up to 25 at houghton regis. animal bones at the bottom have been used to date the pits at 8,000 years old. travel now and let's see how the tube is looking. there's no service on the bakerloo line between queen's park and elephant & castle southbound. a good service elsewhere. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there is very limited brightness around this morning. a largely cloudy start. and a largely cloudy day with some outbreaks of rain. these outbreaks of rain potentially interrupting play at wimbledon. they gradually intensify, becoming heavier through the afternoon, more prolonged spells of rain. can't rule out a rumble of thunder. temperatures reaching 19 celsius. into the evening it is going to stay quite wet. gradually overnight the heavy rain will spiral away. behind it the cloud will break, clearer spells by dawn.

but as it breaks the wind will also strengthen. minimum temperature around nine celsius. tomorrow it is looking like a dry start. breezy to start with. then we will see this cloud edging in through the day. as the heat of the day gets going, we might see a few showers. can't rule out a rumble of thunder on wednesday. temperatures tomorrow, 21 celsius. a more settled day for thursday. a southerly breeze develops, dragging in some warm air, especially as we head through friday and saturday. there's more on our website and social media — including the hit k—pop group blackpink and their recent peformance in hyde park. that's it for now, i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. now it's a tough time to find somewhere to rent at the moment, with soaring prices, rising interest rates and intense competition for properties.

and new research from the bbc shows that some landlords are using the surge in demand to say children and pets are not welcome in many rental homes. ben has more for us. rents going up, costs going up. it is tough to find a property that is and affordable. for some people it is even tougher. any further obstacles for people looking to rent. new research conducted by the bbc analysed 8,000 adverts posted on two leading property websites over four days in may. it found that nearly a quarter of the ads on one website popular with landlords specifically discouraged families from renting. while another 300 went as far as to specifically state children were not wanted, although that is under 1% of the adverts on the site. and pets fare no better. nearly three quarters of listings

on one of the sites said our loyal companions would not be welcome. there are no laws explicitly stopping landlords doing this at the moment but there are concerns this discriminates against certain people including single parents, particularly women, as our cost of living correspondent kevin peachey has been finding out. it's almost a full time job. sara has been searching for somewhere to rent for a year without any luck. there's a big problem with having children under the age of 18. that's a big barrier. being a single parent on benefits is another big barrier. also, the fact that i'm a student is a big barrier. so there's all these hurdles that i'm having tojump over, and then i find another one, and then i find another one. landlords turning down applications from tenants with children isn't against the law, but lawyers say it could be considered as discrimination. there's concern, too, about whether pets are welcome in rental homes.

animal charities say that leaves renters having to make some tough choices. it's a really significant issue for battersea. one in ten of the animals that comes through our gates as a result of their owners facing housing challenges. and obviously behind that statistic are hundreds of really heartbreaking stories, where people are taking the really difficult decision to give up an animal to us. rising costs and competition are making it harderfor tenants to find somewhere to live. but, under a proposed new law for england, it would be tougher for a landlord to refuse any tenant with a pet. those plans would allow renters to request to keep a pet, which a landlord couldn't unreasonably refuse. but many landlords are worried about the risk of damage caused by pets. property mark, the trade body for lettings agents, says a cap on deposits has made owners even more wary of the potential cost. there's also a general acceptance that not every property is suitable for children.

the listing sites we looked at were clear that there were no blanket bans on tenants with pets or children. the dog, i can leave at my ex—husband's. but with demand for rental properties high, for mums like sara, the search goes on. kevin peachey, bbc news. so, a tough time out there. and we will be speaking to a legal expert a little later to find out exactly what the rights are for people looking to rent. we want to hear from you if you're finding it hard as a family to find a rental, or if you're worried you'll have to leave your pet. send us your questions and comments on email, twitter or whatsapp, the number there on your screen right now. that research is really interesting. 0ne that research is really interesting. one of the charities said itjust scratches the surface. sometimes people are only told these limits when they have asked and they have applied and they are told, sorry, your application has been turned

down. a tough situation. a tough climate now. thank you. 25 minutes to seven. it was a busy first day at wimbledon. especially in the queue. slow going for some. not going quickly enough. john is there. how is day two is shaping up? yes, good morning. youjoin us there. how is day two is shaping up? yes, good morning. you join us on the hill here, you can probably see the hill here, you can probably see the fantastic london skyline behind me, an amazing backdrop to the big screen which is in front of us on the hill, where lots of people would be coming in later on to watch the matches here on day two. centre court is just over my shoulder taking centre stage once again. and the person taking centre stage on there will be andy murray, who is against ryan panis done in an all british encounter. murray's opponent is a remarkable story himself, having overcome cancer as a child,

taking on the two—time wimbledon champion, arguably the biggest match of his career. it follows what was — welcome it wasn't a straightforward day one. there were some issues with some of the fans in the queue. long delays they reported as a result of some of the additional security which has been stepped up at these championships as a result of some of the protest we have seen at other sporting events. and there was an interruption is well over on centre court as the defending champion, novak djokovic, got the defence of his title under way. at one point he had to stop to try and dry the court, as andy swiss can tell us. for two wimbledon legends, a day of the most contrasting emotions. play is suspended. novak djokovic's biggest opponent was the weather. he'd just won the first set against pedro cachin when on came the covers. but the court was still slippery. djokovic tried to dry it out with a towel, before an army of giant hairdryers took over.

eventually, they resumed, and djokovic was in no mood for further time wasting. game, set and match, djokovic. his 29th win in a row at wimbledon. there's surely more to come. for venus williams, though, there was only agony. she screams. now 43, she took a horrible tumble against elina svitolina. somehow she limped on, and despite losing in straight sets, earned a standing ovation. for the british supporters, meanwhile, there was a trio of triumphs. first, jodie burrage. after a career beset by injuries, the emotion was clear. i mean, i'm shaking like you can't believe. that one meant a lot. there were also wins for liam broady and forjan choinski, victory on his wimbledon debut. so already some impressive wins for british players, and the home fans here will be hoping for more success later, with andy murray, cameron norrie and katie boulter all in action.

but what everyone will be hoping for is a bit less of this. tight security meant long queues yesterday. in a statement, the organisers thanked fans for their patience. but supporters today will be hoping they won't be playing the waiting game. andy swiss, bbc news, wimbledon. fi lamdin will be back in the queue this morning and will be able to tell us how things are shaping up for some of those spectators making their way here to wimbledon who have been queueing overnight for the start of day two of the championships. nine british players in action today. dan evans will be resuming two sets down. cameron norrie as well, who made the semifinals last year, before losing to novak djokovic, he will be last up to novak djokovic, he will be last up on court number one. and katie boulter, the women's number one, she begins her tournament as well. i wait wimbledon, plenty going on.

that includes the tour de france. we have been following that in its early stages. adam yates is still in the leader's yellow jersey going into stage four of the tour de france, while mark cavendish is still one victory from breaking the all—time record for stage wins. that's after belgium's yasper phillipsen won the first sprint finish of the race so far. he had the perfect lead—out, and although cavendish reached the highest speed of anyone in the sprint — over 45mph — he'd started from further back, and finished sixth. there's another sprint finish expected today. meanwhile, at the women's giro d'italia, the italian national champion elisa longo borghini sprinted to win stage four. defending champion annameek van vleuten, in the leader's pinkjersey, finished third behind her. she leads by 49 seconds with five stages to go. steven gerrard is returning to management, taking charge of saudi arabian club

al—ettifaq. the former liverpool captain has been out of work since being sacked by aston villa last october. he'd been previously reluctant to join the club, but an agreement has now been reached. 0ne one of the legends of the english game as a player before making the move into management, now deciding the time is right to move to football in saudi arabia. talking of footballing legends, it is worth pointing out we have a real tennis legend, tennis royalty, in attendance today. roger federer will make a return before play starts at half past one on centre court. at around 1:15pm he will be honoured for his achievements year at wimbledon. a record eight men's singles titles. he won five in a row when he won his first back in 2003. that kicked off the dominance of the

big four. astonishing to think that nobody apart from roger federer, rafael nadal, andy murray or novak djokovic has won the men's singles title here since 2002. great to see roger federer back at wimbledon. talking of royalty, legends, carol is here! if only. is here! if onl . , is here! ifonl. , , ., is here! if onl . man ”eole here are often if only. many people here are often excited to see _ if only. many people here are often excited to see you _ if only. many people here are often excited to see you as _ if only. many people here are often excited to see you as well. - excited to see you as well. unfortunately, not looking too good weather—wise. a little bit of clarity. how is it shaping up for everybody today? are we going to need a brolly? i5 everybody today? are we going to need a brolly? is it everybody today? are we going to need a brolly?— need a brolly? is it going to stay rainin: ? raining? you are right on every count. it is looking on settle for much of the day. showers to start with. later on we will see some rain. we said yesterday in 1986 at wimbledon they changed at the white tennis balls to yellow ones so they were easier to see on television. with a light like this you can understand just how salient that point is. talking of the forecast for wimbledon, today it

is looking on settle. we are starting off on a cloudy note. we are likely to see some showers through the morning on and off. it is into the afternoon and evening that we are looking at some heavier rain coming in. there is likely to be some interruption to play. and once again, we could also hear the odd clap of thunder. for most of us the forecast today is one of rain, and some drizzle and some sunshine. 0n the pressure chart you will see two weather fronts, the pressure chart you will see two weatherfronts, one draped the pressure chart you will see two weather fronts, one draped across scotland, one across the south of england. this is where we see the rain or the showers in the north. as we go through today, the rain and drizzle across scotland and northern ireland sinks further south into northern england. it could be thundery in north—east england under south—east scotland later. later you can see the showers replaced by heavy rain in the south of england, into the south—east. in between is where we will see some sunshine and fewer showers. where we will see some sunshine and fewershowers. in where we will see some sunshine and fewer showers. in the south we could

also hear the odd rumble of thunder with highs of up to 20 degrees. not as windy as yesterday. 0vernight you will find the rain eventually pulled away into the north sea, lingering the longest across east anglia. we are also looking at some of the rain extending into notjust northern england, northern ireland and scotland, possibly further south as well. into tomorrow, a mixture of sunshine and showers. a drier day. not all of us will catch the showers. but you could catch one almost anywhere. it is not going to be as breezy. temperatures tomorrow up be as breezy. temperatures tomorrow up to 21 degrees, for example, a round of the hull area. but widely, the high teens or low 20s. as we move into thursday we start off on mainly dry note. some sunshine. cloud developing through the day. showers in the west. later in the day we see some more rain drifting across northern ireland. a subtle change in the temperatures. that is because the wind is changing direction to more of a

south—westerly. it is not going to be a strong wind, but it will pull up be a strong wind, but it will pull up warmerair. as be a strong wind, but it will pull up warmer air. as we head on into the ensuing couple of days, the temperature will continue to rise as we pull in more of a southerly wind. it is also going to turn more humid. but it is not going to stay bone dry everywhere. carol, tell us honestly today, there are many many people will stop you today at wimbledon asking for a personalised weather forecast? 40,000 7! it personalised weather forecast? 40,000?! , ., personalised weather forecast? 40,000?! , 40,000?! it is a complicated icture. 40,000?! it is a complicated picture- good _ 40,000?! it is a complicated picture. good news— 40,000?! it is a complicated picture. good news that - 40,000?! it is a complicated picture. good news that it - 40,000?! it is a complicated picture. good news that it is. 40,000?! it is a complicated - picture. good news that it is going to get warmer. it is picture. good news that it is going to get warmer-— picture. good news that it is going to get warmer. it is certainly going to get warmer. it is certainly going to net to get warmer. it is certainly going to get warmer- _ to get warmer. it is certainly going to get warmer. after _ to get warmer. it is certainly going to get warmer. after today - to get warmer. it is certainly going to get warmer. after today it - to get warmer. it is certainly going to get warmer. after today it is - to get warmer. it is certainly going| to get warmer. after today it is not going to be as wet. they will still be showers. heavy rain later in the day. definitely brolly is at the ready. we often say, as you well know, you can use your brolly for a parasol, or to keep the rain off. todayit parasol, or to keep the rain off. today it is the latter. you parasol, or to keep the rain off. today it is the latter.— today it is the latter. you could sa i will today it is the latter. you could say i will give — today it is the latter. you could say i will give you _ today it is the latter. you could say i will give you a _ today it is the latter. you could say i will give you a personal i say i will give you a personal forecast if you give me some shelter. and some strawberries!

thank you. back with carol in a while, and john with the sport. for the last five years, ex—soldier steve davies has been on a mission to restore old military graves to their original state. steve's been visiting forgotten memorials like this one, and using just basic cleaning materials and elbow grease to return them to their former glory. and along the way he's discovered some remarkable stories of those who gave their lives for their country, as graham satchell reports. in the solemn stillness of a country churchyard. steve davies is heading to his latest project. he starts by using a brush, washing up liquid and elbow grease. it's a work of art. and i think to myself, that needs — you know, they need to be cleaned and remembered.

you're bringing back a story, a life of someone who has defended the country. you know, and i get a buzz out of that. yeah, i agree. i get more of a buzz out of it than anything. steve is a former soldier, served in northern ireland. he started restoring military graves by chance after a family christening. ijust happened to come out of the church first, and as i looked to my right, i saw a commonwealth war grave completely grown over with weeds. and i thought, that's not right, it shouldn't be like that. so my wife and i came back the next day. we cleared all the weeds. six months later, i'd done 144, all within a ten mile radius of where i lived. ifind them, i renovate them, i seek permission, and then i revisit them every two or three years and re—clean them. steve always takes before and after

photos of the graves he restores. the transformations are quite something. i love doing the short videos of reels, which we speed up, and i put great music to them. look for the william tell one on tik tok. that's really funny. steve funds most of the work himself through a just giving page, the military grave restorer. he has two volunteer researchers who try to find the stories behind the headstones. i found a bugler from the charge of the light brigade, the last survivor of rorke's drift, colour sergeant bourne. the last survivor of the battle of waterloo, private samuel gibson, in catherham cemetery. all these people are out there, who lay dirty and in a disgusting state. so we bring it back to life. this is the grave of private landfried, now lovingly restored by steve. he sounded the bugle at the charge of the light brigade in 1854.

steve's team discovered an extraordinary recording of him made in 1890. i am now going to sound the bugle and sound the charge on that very same bugle. in beckenham, the grave of colour sergeant bourne, again restored. his courage at the battle of rorke's drift, immortalised in the film zulu by the actor nigel green. the sentries report zulus to the south west. thousands of them. back in the cemetery, lee denis is visiting the grave of his son harry, who died in a traffic accident last year. we struggle, obviously, for losing harry. he was only 11 years old. it was a week before christmas.

it couldn't have been a more tragic accident. difficult is the only way i can describe it, really. very difficult day by day. but we'll get there, i'm sure we will. lee visits his son's grave every day. he started to notice military headstones in the cemetery. he already followed steve on facebook, and decided to send him a message. he said, "do you want to meet tomorrow?" and that was it. steve came down, and he was like, "right". he was quite forthright. "right, do you want to help me clean them up, then?" and i've been doing it ever since. do you want to push it back in, just for the moment, while we're doing the stone? go on! she is heavy. go on, put your back into it. yeah. i get great pleasure from doing it. and i don't think about my everyday life and my everyday struggles. i'm just there and i'm scrubbing and i'm on my own, and steve's directing me, which he's very good at doing. and he says i've become quite a good apprentice. so he just gives me direction and he leaves me to it.

the graves i'm cleaning, most of them were young people that passed. obviously, they passed before their parents. they passed fighting the war for us as we are now. and i feel like i'm doing my bit for their parents as well, if that makes sense. i'd like to think that someone maybe in 100 years' time will clean harry's grave for me. it's a beautiful stone. and that will shine. steve and lee are almost done for the day. the writing on the headstone is now starting to become legible. steve takes photos to send to his researcher. you see the lettering become clear. so we now know who he is, what he did. we can now go and research him and hopefully find family and add his obituary and find the research. that gives me loads of pleasure. that'll look nice by the weekend. 0k. for both steve and lee, this has become a kind of therapy, restoring the graves and resurrecting the stories of forgotten heroes.

steve a nd steve and lee, what incredible guys. i mean, real commitment, amazing work, the transformation is unbelievable. well done to both of them. steve will be here later to explain more about what he does, how he does it and the impact it has on him. and where there may be more people could help. we are going back to wimbledon now. fi lamdin is in the queue as people look to secure tickets for today's tennis. i know there were some frustrations yesterday. i know there were some frustrations esterda . ., ., yesterday. there were. i have to sa , the yesterday. there were. i have to say. the queue _ yesterday. there were. i have to say, the queue is _ yesterday. there were. i have to say, the queue is already - yesterday. there were. i have to | say, the queue is already moving pretty fast. it is after half past six. the ten tos down, apart from those camping tomorrow. people are being told to go and get in the line. coming over to michelle, thank you forjoining us. good morning. tell us about yesterday? how long

flowers to mark three lives lost. the fire inside the flat broke out in the early hours of last friday morning. gemma germeney died at the scene. she was 31. her daughter, lilly peden, who was eight, and her son 0liver, who was four, died later in hospital. a man in his thirties remains in a critical condition. the fire service says the blaze started accidentally and the most probable cause was an electric bike that was charging. obviously, an e—bike will have a lithium ion battery, normally, on the bike, the same as on an e—scooter, on hoverboards, in your mobile phones. most devices have got them in a range of different sizes, and if they get too hot, they can explode and cause a really intense fire. and i think that's what we're seeing here. family members of the three who died say they're devastated by the tragedy. the emergency services say they're aware that e—bikes and e—scooters are becoming increasingly common, but they're urging anyone who owns one to be aware of the potential dangers of batteries overheating. and the advice is don't charge them at night,

but charge them in the day instead when people are more alert and able to react more quickly if something goes wrong. these shocking pictures from illingworth in west yorkshire show what can happen in extreme cases. here, an electric motorbike was left on charge inside overnight. four people were taken to hospital, but fortunately nobody received life—threatening injuries. i'm mark from the fire service. in cambridge, residents are being offered help on safety issues. e—bikes can be an environmentally—friendly way to get around, but the fire service says make sure you use the battery recommended by the manufacturer and the correct charging cables. simonjones, bbc news, cambridge. 0ur reporter is life for bbc breakfast in cambridge this morning. such an upsetting story, especially the people who live there. good

in the occupied west bank. hundreds of troops are taking part in what israel calls a counter—terrorism operation but palestinian officials have described it as an invasion. 0ur middle east correspondent anna foster is injerusalem. anna, what impact is the fighting causing? well, we have seen this morning fresh pictures of what it looks like insidejanine, burnt out debris on the streets, smoke rising. we have been told he can still hear the sound of israeli drones are bad jenin. in terms of the scale, the number of troops, hundreds, maybe thousands of israeli troops have been involved, the biggest in years. in terms of duration, more than 24 hours on, this operation is continuing this morning. israeli say they had detained more than 100 palestinian militants but there are still places they want to search and

people they want to try to speak to and apprehend. their concern from the palestinians let you mention some other families who had the palestinians let you mention some otherfamilies who had left, several thousand families who left last night when darkness fell, some of them on third and some in cars, mainly women and children. still many civilians inside this densely populated area. the concern from palestinians and internationally as well as those civilians who remain need to be protected by the operation is continuing. thank you much indeed- _ the bosses of britain's four biggest banks have been summoned by the regulator to explain why interest rates for savers are not rising as fast as those for borrowers. the chief executives of lloyds, hsbc, natwest and barclays are to meet the financial conduct authority tomorrow. 0fficals are expected to discuss with the banks the pricing of cash savings and how they communicated with their customers on rates. the government says it will change the law to ensure fuel retailers publish their prices to combat overcharging, after a watchdog said motorists paid

petrol and diesel. the hope in government is that apps or price comparison websites can then publish it in real time and we can or will have a look and decide where to go for petrol and diesel to get the best prices. the supermarkets say they are not making a huge amount of money out of this, their margins as they call it are still pretty tight and a lot of their costs have gone up and a lot of their costs have gone up for other things like energy and for keeping their businesses running. but the government is not convinced. it thinks prices are not going down as quickly as they should be and it hopes that forcing these businesses to publish more information in real—time will make a big difference and help us all to save a bit of cash. thank you very much. emmanuel macron is meeting 200 mayors following the disorder after the shooting of a

done to individual companies in the paris region alone it is reckoned 20 million euros of damage was done to the public transport system. someone will have to pay for all of that. the real reason for the meeting is to try to determine what lay beneath their rights. we know the immediate cause, the fatal shooting of a 17—year—old by a police officer. beyond that, these riots have really revealed very profound anger, frustration and division within french society. that is something emmanuel macron knows he needs to tackle. we spoke yesterday to the mayor of marseilles, he will be at the meeting. he acknowledges his own sitting is divided, divided with people who are poor and people who are not. and people who feel connected to the french authorities, the french state and those who simply do not. the french state and those who simply do not-— the french state and those who

how rising feed costs are affecting us and how we shop. three key numbers. the first, between april and june, overall sales at sainsbury�*s were up by 9.8% excluding fuel. that is 9.8% up compared with the year before. 11% is how much grocery sales grew compared with a year earlier and a lot of that is being driven by own brand products. 13% increase in sales of own brand products. those are the numbers. let's give you some background. supermarkets across the board have come under pressure to do something about rising prices. people have seen grocery bills soar. it is more expensive to grow and produce items and that has been passed on to us as customers. food prices slow down a bit in may but they are 18.4% higher on average compared with a year ago and that is a lot higher compared with goods and

services across the wider economy. sainsbury�*s among the supermarkets saying they are not taking advantage of that at the expense of shoppers and they are cutting prices on popular staple products like milk and pasta. popular staple products like milk and asta. . ~ popular staple products like milk and asta. ., ,, if you are up during the night or were up early you might have seen something amazing. we are talking about the moon. the moon is out there appearing brighter and bigger than usual last night. this was last night's buck moon passing over the shard in london. july's supermoon is appearing full for up to three days and it's closer than normal in its orbit around the earth. it is magical if you can spot it. it also appeared over cheshire. and thank you tojoy for emailing in her photo, taken early this morning in selby, north yorkshire. thank you for those. keep them coming. great stuff. it is around

a sexual relationship. really disturbing messages were coming from someone who you wouldn't expect them from. this was a serving police officer. they began a relationship but charlotte complained to the force about him nearly three years ago. after that, he repeatedly visited her home uninvited. in 2022, there was an incident where he turned up outside, which was all on doorbell footage. when the police finally did come round about 45 minutes later, there was no urgency. charlotte says she'd already complained about another visit but wasn't taken seriously. despite there being red markers on my house because of the previous incidents, didn't even take a statement from me. two years, i'm still waiting for the gross misconduct hearing. because he works in the anti—corruption and professional standards complaints department, that's the place you complain to, so what hope have you got? the detective sergeant, shown here on the left, denied abusing his position for a sexual purpose. he said the messages weren't

familiar to him and he visited charlotte out of concern for her. we've also learned of evidence being deleted by forces investigating their officers. 0ne victim of domestic abuse told bedfordshire police she'd been raped by an inspector, allegations recorded on body—worn video during two visits to her home. but the bbc has learned that footage was then deleted. bedfordshire police blames an administrative error and said interviews with the woman took place in response. we've also been told that the metropolitan police botched an investigation into an officer accused of having sex with multiple victims of rape. two former members of its professional standards team say the detective inspector's phone was wiped remotely following his arrest after best practice wasn't followed. i was absolutely shocked and that somebody... that case is off the barometer disgraceful. just the footage that you've got from that young woman would be really concerning. baroness casey's review found that the metropolitan police is institutionally misogynist.

it'sjust so shocking. he works in professional standards. she says delays in dealing with claims of misconduct are unacceptable. it's jaw—droppingly appalling that you have cases of really serious sexual allegations made against police officers that simply go on for years. 0ur information requests have also found that individual officers have faced as many as 20 allegations. one who faced nine was only given a final written warning. these people are already traumatised, aren't they? the national police chiefs council says it's determined to learn from previous cases. but the most recent victims commissioner says reform is urgently needed. change has to be immediate. 0bviously complaints should be going out to another force and not being done internally. so it raises the big question, who is policing the police standards department? the home office says it's taking action, but women who've spent years waiting for investigations to conclude say they've lost faith

in police forces. noel titheradge, bbc news. the recent unprecedented strikes in the public sector have renewed the debate over worker pay and conditions. they've also raised concerns over how employers can keep the staff they need, especially in sectors such as the nhs and teaching. shortly, we'll speak to a university boss who believes he may have a solution. but first here's poppyjeffrey with a look at the figures. to train and retain more staff, it's one of prime minister rishi sunak�*s plans for the nhs over the next 15 years. he revealed on friday that he hopes to keep 130,000 more staff within the health service and improve conditions, training, —— training, retention and reform. that's our plan to build the healthcare workforce of the future and secure

the nhs for the long term. it's a big challenge. figures show the number of nurses leaving the nhs rose by a quarter in 2021 to 2022 compared with the year before. the largest increase in those leaving was among younger nurses. two thirds of leavers were under 45. nhs data shows that a trust with more than 3,000 nurses will typically have to recruit 300 every year due to the turnover rate, something which can come with a big price tag. it's a similar story in the world of education. teacher vacancies are on the rise, and even though the government says there are more teachers joining than leaving, the data shows almost a third of those who are newly qualified are not working in the sector five years later. whether it's pay and rewards, working environments or simply a shift in careers due to the pandemic, a lot of focus is now on finding a solution to these staffing worries. peppyjeffery, bbc news.

drjohn cater, who's a vice chancellor of edge hill university, believes he might have a solution to some of those issues. he's here now along with teacher darren morgan. good with teacher darren morgan. morning to both of yo it good morning to both of you. share it with us, what is your big idea? there is an enormous problem at the moment. 7.4 million people are on nhs waiting lists. we are over 60,000 people short of what we need. the nhs is spending a fortune on agency costs and so on. nine years ago i wrote a paper suggesting what you could do for someone who stays in a profession like nursing or teaching for a decent period of time, probably seven, eight, ten years or whatever, they could have tuition fees written off if they were in good standing in that role. they would go through university, start work, work for ten years and at the end of that time, if they have stuck with it, all the student

the mayor's office insists it's vital to clean up the capital's air, and said it would continue with preparations. and we'll have more on thejudicial review across bbc london. and to see the arguments for and against ulez, head over to our website. from today you'll be able to tap in and tape out at another 53 stations across the south east. it means passengers can use their contactless payment bank card at more locations to travel in and out london. the scheme aims to make travelling simpler and more convenient for commuters. the nhs turns 75 this week. and we've been speaking to londoners who work for the service, and those who've been helped by it. carlos had a stroke while on duty at king's hospital last year. he was treated by staff there and has now made a recovery. he's been meeting the team who helped save his life. i was on call and i had a patient, who was carlos.

he presented to us with a stroke. and we did some scans. you know, it's a big team who can certainly help patients. and sometimes we save patients' lives, that's absolutely true, and it does make you feel you're doing a very worthwhile job. large pits said to be from the stone age have been discovered on a building site in bedfordshire. archaeologists have found up to 25 at houghton regis. animal bones at the bottom have been used to date the pits at 8,000 years old. travel now, and let's see how the tube is looking. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there is very limited brightness around this morning. a largely cloudy start. and a largely cloudy day with some outbreaks of rain. these outbreaks of rain potentially interrupting play at wimbledon. they gradually intensify, becoming heavier through

the afternoon, more prolonged spells of rain. can't rule out a rumble of thunder. temperatures reaching 19 celsius. into the evening it is going to stay quite wet. gradually overnight the heavy rain will spiral away. behind it the cloud will break, clearer spells by dawn. but as it breaks the wind will also strengthen. minimum temperature around nine celsius. tomorrow it is looking like a dry start. breezy to start with. then we will see this cloud edging in through the day. as the heat of the day gets going, we might see a few showers. can't rule out a rumble of thunder on wednesday. temperatures tomorrow, 21 celsius. a more settled day for thursday. a southerly breeze develops, dragging in some warm air, especially as we head through friday and saturday. there's more on our website and social media, including the hit k—pop group blackpink and their recent performance in hyde park. that's it for now. i'm back in around half an hour.

later on against ryan peniston in what is an all british affair. he has his own remarkable story having overcome cancer as a youngster. it will be the biggest match of his career. and we will follow what was a very entertaining day, plenty of talking points. 0ne a very entertaining day, plenty of talking points. one of those centred around the queue, with fans saying it took longer than usual to get access to the site yesterday. novak djokovic eased into the second round with a straight sets victory over pedro cachin. djokovic is aiming to secure his eighth wimbledon title and match roger federer�*s record for a male player. he will now play australia's jordan thompson. another one of the big talking point yesterday was around centre court itself. but djokovic was made to wait for 80 minutes due to a rain delay. the roof did get closed on centre court, but the grass

was still too slippery to play. towels were used, air blowers were brought in. luckily the serbian was able to lend a hand and saw the funny side. it was a solid match. you know, i always expect betterfrom myself. i know i can do better, i can play better. but, you know, for the first round, and the first official grass court match after a long clay season, it's a good match, you know. and i have to take the positives out of it. andy murray and ryan peniston two of nine british players in action today. dan evans will resume two sets down in his match. a brilliant day in the women's singles forjodie burridge. she reached the second round for the first time in a career that has been beset by injuries. burrage beat american caty mcnally. but both harriet dart and katie swan were defeated.

it hasn't been easy, you know. three ankle surgeries, fractured knee, stress fracture arm, stress fracture rib. i could keep going and going. it has been my biggest battle. but i've worked really hard physically the last few years, and ifeel in a really good place, and i'm just waiting for my run to happen. and hopefully this is the start of it. great win. murray and ryan peniston will be hoping tojoin liam brody in the next round. he made it to the third round last year. he faces french open winner casper ruud next. great to see him continuing his progress year at wimbledon. jan choinski made it two british men through, as he battled to a four set win over dusan lajovic. the 27—year—old was handed a wildcard for the tournament and he took full advantage, coming from a set down

in his first ever main—draw appearance at a grand slam. from one major sporting event of the summer, to another. we're only a couple of days away from the start of the third ashes test at headingley. but the ill feeling over the last match, and in particular jonnie bairstow�*s controversial dismissal, still hasn't gone away. this one has gone right to the top. now the australian prime minister has got involved. this was the incident last week at lords when bairstow stepped out of his crease thinking the ball was dead and it was the end of the over, only for the wicket keeper to throw the ball at his stumps. yesterday the british pm rishi sunak said it broke the spirit of cricket. little sympathy from the australians, if this front page is anything to go by. but now sunak�*s counterpart, anthony albanese, has tweeted, congratulating both the men's and women's teams, saying, "same old aussies —

always winning!". his phrase appearing to be a jibe at english fans, who chanted, "same old aussies, always cheating", after bairstow was dismissed. you might have seen the pictures of bairstow shaking hands with the australian players. if looks could kill his expression said it all. the tour de france continues at the moment. adam yates is still in the leader's yellowjersey going into stage four of the tour de france, while mark cavendish is still one victory from breaking the all—time record for stage wins. that's after belgium's yasper phillipsen won the first sprint finish of the race so far. he had the perfect lead—out, and although cavendish reached the highest speed of anyone in the sprint — over 45mph — he'd started from further back, and finished sixth. there's another sprint finish expected today. maybe cavendish will have another

stab at that record. meanwhile, at the women's giro d'italia, the italian national champion elisa longo borghini sprinted to win stage four. defending champion annameek van vleuten, in the leader's pinkjersey, finished third behind her. she leads by 49 seconds with five stages to go. we are talking about legends. you can see some of the faces behind me. andy murray one of those having won here the first of those in 2013, when he ended a 77 year wait for a british man's singles winner, emulating the achievements of the late, great fred perry. today we will see roger federer in attendance on centre court. he announced his retirement last year. he won eight wimbledon titles. five on the bounce. just before play starts at half past one on centre court, roger federer will be out at around quarter past one and he will be honoured for

his achievements here at wimbledon. many people have enjoyed watching him through the years. they will be delighted to see him back. as we know, he himself has paraded the trophy on this famous wimbledon balcony on many occasions. you wonder though what the weather will do today. we saw novak djokovic using his towel to dry out the court. we'll roger federer need a towel with him this morning? he may do because today's weather is looking pretty unsubtle. we have got showers, science and in between. then some heavy rain. it does mean at least the plants will get a good drink. you can see some of these beautiful flowers in front of me and behind me. there is ivy, salvia, hydrangeas, petunias, to name but a few. they are watered every other day. the forecast for wimbledon, as i was mentioning, is mixed. so, we start off with some sunshine trying

to break through the cloud. but there are showers in the vicinity. we start to see some rain in the afternoon and evening. it will not be as windy as it was yesterday. the forecast for today is mixed. some of us seeing some rain, some drizzle, some showers, some sunshine, but not as breezy. a little bit cooler. low pressure dominates the weather currently. we have a weather front draped across scotland and another one across southern england and south wales. both of them producing cloud and some rain. we start with the rain in scotland. that is also going to affect northern ireland and northern england through the course of the day. some of the rain could be heavy later, particularly south—east scotland and north—east england. in between the two bands of rain we are looking at sunshine and a few showers. the rain will get going through the afternoon across the far south—east and far south. temperatures today up to 20 degrees. through this evening and overnight, once again we are looking at the

rain moving away into the north sea, lingering longest across east anglia. they were obese they'll some showers dotted around, particularly in the north, where we have the weather front, in the north, where we have the weatherfront, and it will in the north, where we have the weather front, and it will be a cool night. tomorrow will be a day of sunshine and showers. the showers could form almost anywhere. but not all of us will catch one. and there will be a lot of dry weather around as well. if anything, a little bit warmer, highs of up to 21 degrees. that is in hull. into thursday, mainly dry to start the day with some sunshine. cloud building in through the day. a few showers in the west. later we see some rain in northern ireland. 0ne thing that is slightly different as the wind will stop that will become more of a south—westerly. that does mean that temperatures will start to rise. they will continue to do so. it will turn more humid as we head towards the end of this week. thank you. we have had a lot of people asking how your knees are after you were pulled onto the

ground by ray the dog earlier. are you all right?— you all right? yes, totally. he was very gentle- _ you all right? yes, totally. he was very gentle- he — you all right? yes, totally. he was very gentle. he was _ you all right? yes, totally. he was very gentle. he wasjust _ you all right? yes, totally. he was very gentle. he wasjust pleased i you all right? yes, totally. he was| very gentle. he wasjust pleased to very gentle. he was just pleased to see his trainer. mil very gentle. he was 'ust pleased to see his trainer.— see his trainer. all right. glad to hear it. take _ see his trainer. all right. glad to hear it. take care. _ hear it. take care. i think he was more pleased to see carol. whether it's kumbaya, lord of the dance or all things bright and beautiful, many of us remember our favourite songs from school. 0ne teacher who's really embraced this nostalgia is james b partridge. he's become a social media hit after posting his versions of school assembly classics online. let's listen to a few of them. # who put the colours in the rainbow? # who put the salt into the sea? # when i needed a neighbour, were you there? # were you there? # he's got the whole world in his hands. world world in his hands.

programme. making sure our servicemen and women aren't forgotten. we meet the army veteran who travels the country restoring war—graves it's tuesday, the lith ofjuly. senior firefighters have issued a safety warning about electric bikes after a woman and her two young children were killed in theirflat. officials said a charging e—bike was the most likely cause of the blaze in cambridge and they urged other owners to be aware of the risks. simonjones reports. flowers to mark three lives lost. the fire inside the flat broke out in the early hours of last friday morning. gemma germeney died at the scene. she was 31. her daughter, lilly peden, who was eight, and her son oliver, who was four, died later in hospital. a man in his thirties remains in a critical condition. the fire service says the blaze started accidentally and the most probable cause was an electric bike that was charging. obviously, an e—bike will have a lithium ion battery, normally, on the bike, the same as on an e—scooter,

on hoverboards, in your mobile phones. most devices have got them in a range of different sizes, and if they get too hot, they can explode and cause a really intense fire. and i think that's what we're seeing here. family members of the three who died say they're devastated by the tragedy. the emergency services say they're aware that e—bikes and e—scooters are becoming increasingly common, but they're urging anyone who owns one to be aware of the potential dangers of batteries overheating. and the advice is don't charge them at night, but charge them in the day instead when people are more alert and able to react more quickly if something goes wrong. these shocking pictures from illingworth in west yorkshire show what can happen in extreme cases. here, an electric motorbike was left on charge inside overnight. four people were taken to hospital, but fortunately nobody received life—threatening injuries. i'm mark from the fire service. in cambridge, residents are being

offered help on safety issues. e—bikes can be an environmentally—friendly way to get around, but the fire service says make sure you use the battery recommended by the manufacturer and the correct charging cables. simonjones, bbc news, cambridge. let's speak now to our reporter zoie o'brien, who's in cambridge. important im porta nt safety messages important safety messages for all of us this morning. but where you are a community trying to come to terms with what has happened. yes. community trying to come to terms with what has happened.— with what has happened. yes, it is the start of — with what has happened. yes, it is the start of another _ with what has happened. yes, it is the start of another very _ with what has happened. yes, it is the start of another very difficult i the start of another very difficult day here in cambridge in this close knit community. people waking up and dealing with the devastation of what happened. the more we learn about the events that unfolded on friday night, the more we can understand how traumatic it was. we heard from neighbours that they were stood out here when the fire was happening. they wanted to do something but they

felt absolutely helpless. they knew they had to wait for the authorities to get here. we know from the fire service they did arrive in under six minutes. the first engine did everything they could to save the family. unfortunately, gemma and her two children, oliver and lily, family. unfortunately, gemma and her two children, oliverand lily, could not be saved. a31—year—old man remains in hospital at this time. just over my shoulder, you can probably see the tribute still mounting up my flowers and soft toys. the children only four and eight. the most sombre reminder, the trampoline are still there in the garden. the fire service repeating warnings about e—bikes and scooters. when they are on charge trying to do that during the day when you are there. ,, . that during the day when you are there. . . . that during the day when you are there. ,, . . ,, , ., , five minutes past eight. more of the

news this morning. the government says it will change the law to ensure fuel retailers publish their prices to combat overcharging, after a watchdog said motorists paid an average of 6p extra per litre for petrol and diesel at supermarkets last year. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. how might this work? morning to you. the fearin: how might this work? morning to you. the fearing government _ how might this work? morning to you. the fearing government is _ how might this work? morning to you. the fearing government is motors - how might this work? morning to you. the fearing government is motors are | the fearing government is motors are being used, as one minister put it yesterday, cash cows, being ripped off by increasing prices. basically, the consumer watchdog bound as prices went up, with the war in ukraine, it meant customers were paying more. when the wholesale price came down, the price we are all paying for petrol and diesel did not come down as quick so the fear is that supermarkets in particular had been increasing their margins they include in that price. what the government wants to do is to

introduce comparison websites, which would work in real time, supermarkets and other retailers would be forced to hand over their prices regularly. it would mean all of us could go online, check how much the prices and go to the cheapest place. this is a big deal. the consumer watchdog reckons it has cost consumers about £900 million in petrol and diesel. a lot of money involved. the supermarkets are saying, look, the amount of money they are making from this is not as much and a lot of their prices for other things like basic running costs have gone up as well. the government is saying it does not buy it and is determined to take action to make sure we can all get the cheapest prices possible. thank you very much- — palestinian officials say about 3,000 people have fled their homes in thejenin refugee camp since israel launched a major military operation in the occupied west bank. hundreds of troops,

supported by air strikes and armoured bulldozers, are taking part in what israel calls a counter—terrorism operation. palestinian politicians have described it as an invasion. the french president, emmanuel macron, is meeting more than 200 mayors of areas affected by the disorder which followed the shooting of a teenager by police. it's thought the meeting later today will focus on understanding the root causes of the unrest, which appears to have calmed after a week of violent protests. next month, the congestion charging zone in central london will be expanded across the whole capital, as part of the mayor's flagship clean—air policy. it's a controversial move, which is being challenged by five of london's borough councils today in the high court. our transport correspondent katy austin has the details. it's completely unbearable. ruth believes any attempt to clean up the air is a good thing. this is one reason why. her young son hospitalised by a severe asthma attack. we are living with toxic levels of air pollution. and this is having really devastating consequences on people's health, notjust children's health,

everybody�*s health. london's ultra low emission zone is aimed at cutting the number of older, polluting vehicles on the road. there is a £12.50 daily charge for driving models which don't meet certain emission standards. from late august, it is due to expand to cover all london boroughs. there is a scrappage scheme to help eligible individuals, or businesses, ditch their noncompliant vehicles. but kieran, who only bought this van 18 months ago, says that won't work for him. i use my van every day for work. i'm a landscaper. he wants more time to make a change. in the position i am being put in, my van must still be on the road and i'm going to be put into debt. i'm going to have to pay over £4,500 a year.

so, i hate to say it, but i will have to pass it on to the customers. the expansion plan has been controversial. five local councils have launched a legal challenge. i think it is the wrong solution at the wrong time. i think putting a charge for everyone at this time, with the cost of living crisis, is a real problem for me. also, actually it won't deal with the problem of clean air in london. there are many better ways of dealing with that problem. a spokesperson for the mayor of london, sadiq khan, said he had been clear his decision to expand ulez london wide was not an easy one. but they said 4,000 londoners a year die prematurely from air pollution. around the country, the number of clean air zones has been growing in recent years. for example, birmingham and bristol both have one. the plan to widen london's ulez has attracted protests. and some cameras have been vandalised. the mayor's spokesperson said he would robustly defend the expansion in court and continue with preparations for it to come into force. katy austin, bbc news. thames water will appear before

a judge for sentencing today after admitting charges relating to polluting rivers. the court earlier heard how millions of litres of undiluted sewage caused rivers to turn "black" and kill more than 1,000 fish near gatwick airport in october 2017. britain's second biggest supermarket sainsbury�*s has announced its latest results this morning. ben has the details. sainsbury s is the uk s second largest supermarket ? these results tell us a lot about how rising food costs are affecting us and how we shop. they show that between april and june overall sales were up by 9.8% compared with the same period the year before. drill down and you find that was driven by grocery sales — up 11% in that three month period. and with high food prices ? people are turning to own brand, cheaper options. sales of those grew by 13%. supermarkets across the board have come under pressure to do something about rising prices.

shoppers have seen grocery bills soar over the past year ? mainly due to food inflation. its more expensive to grow and produce groceries and that has been passed on to customers. now average food price rises are starting to slow down ? sainsbury s chief executive said "food inflation is starting to fall and we are fully committed to passing on savings to our customers." sainsbury�*s and others ? including tesco, asda, morrison s, m&s, aldi and lidl have said they are cutting prices, on popular staple products such as milk and pasta. thank you. the moon has left people gazing up at the sky after appearing brighter and larger than usual. this was last nights buck moon passing over the shard in london. july's supermoon is appearing full for up to three days and it's closer than normal in its orbit around the earth. it also appeared over this hill in cheshire.

pigeon chaser. the forecast is rain fulsome of us, showers and drizzle for others. in between there will sunshine. a week when a front pushing into the north of england, producing a fair bit of cloud and rain or drizzle. further south, we are starting the day was showers. they will be replaced by heavy rain later in the afternoon and evening. in between the two areas, a mix of sunshine and a few showers. some of the showers could be heavy and thundery. temperatures up to about 20 degrees, a bit cooler than yesterday. into this evening and overnight all the rain in the south pushes into the north sea, lingering longest across eastern parts of east anglia. stilla longest across eastern parts of east anglia. still a few showers, some clear skies. anglia. still a few showers, some clearskies. it anglia. still a few showers, some clear skies. it is going to be cool, temperatures falling away between seven and ii. into tomorrow, a mix of sunshine and showers. you could catch a shower actually anywhere.

many of us will not and many of us will stay dry. temperatures getting up will stay dry. temperatures getting up to about 21 degrees, for example, in hull. it is after this that weather starts to turn a little bit warmer. that is because the wind will change initially to a south—westerly and then to a southerly. dragging in warmer continental air in the next few days. it will turn warmer as well. in the meantime you are lucky to have the roof on. for the last five years, ex—soldier steve davies has been on a mission to restore old military graves to their original state. steve's been visiting forgotten memorials like this one, and using just basic cleaning materials and elbow grease to return them to their former glory. and along the way, he's discovered some remarkable stories of those who gave their lives for their country, as graham satchell reports.

in the solemn stillness of a country churchyard. steve davies is heading to his latest project. he starts by using a brush, washing up liquid and elbow grease. it's a work of art. and i think to myself, that needs — you know, they need to be cleaned and remembered. you're bringing back a story, a life of someone who has defended the country. you know, and i get a buzz out of that. yeah, i agree. i get more of a buzz out of it than anything. steve is a former soldier, served in northern ireland. he started restoring military graves by chance after a family christening. ijust happened to come out of the church first, and as i looked to my right, i saw a commonwealth war grave completely grown over with weeds. and i thought, that's not right, it shouldn't be like that.

so my wife and i came back the next day. we cleared all the weeds. six months later, i'd done 144, all within a ten mile radius of where i lived. ifind them, i renovate them, i seek permission, and then i revisit them every two or three years and re—clean them. steve always takes before and after photos of the graves he restores. the transformations are quite something. i love doing the short videos of reels, which we speed up, and i put great music to them. look for the william tell one on tik tok. that's really funny. steve funds most of the work himself through a just giving page, the military grave restorer. he has two volunteer researchers who try to find the stories behind the headstones. i found a bugler from the charge of the light brigade, the last

survivor of rorke's drift, colour sergeant bourne. the last survivor of the battle of waterloo, private samuel gibson, in catherham cemetery. all these people are out there, who lay dirty and in a disgusting state. so we bring it back to life. this is the grave of private landfried, now lovingly restored by steve. he sounded the bugle at the charge of the light brigade in 185a. steve's team discovered an extraordinary recording of him made in 1890. i am now going to sound the bugle and sound the charge on that very same bugle. in beckenham, the grave of colour sergeant bourne, again restored. his courage at the battle of rorke's drift, immortalised in the film zulu by the actor nigel green. the sentries report

zulus to the south west. thousands of them. back in the cemetery, lee denis is visiting the grave of his son harry, who died in a traffic accident last year. we struggle, obviously, for losing harry. he was only 11 years old. it was a week before christmas. it couldn't have been a more tragic accident. difficult is the only way i can describe it, really. very difficult day by day. but we'll get there, i'm sure we will. lee visits his son's grave every day. he started to notice military headstones in the cemetery. he already followed steve on facebook, and decided to send him a message. he said, "do you want to meet tomorrow?" and that was it. steve came down, and he was like, "right". he was quite forthright. "right, do you want to help me clean them up, then?" and i've been doing it ever since. do you want to push it back in, just for the moment, while we're doing the stone?

go on! she is heavy. go on, put your back into it. yeah. i get great pleasure from doing it. and i don't think about my everyday life and my everyday struggles. i'm just there and i'm scrubbing and i'm on my own, and steve's directing me, which he's very good at doing. and he says i've become quite a good apprentice. so he just gives me direction and he leaves me to it. the graves i'm cleaning, most of them were young people that passed. obviously, they passed before their parents. they passed fighting the war for us as we are now. and i feel like i'm doing my bit for their parents as well, if that makes sense. i'd like to think that someone maybe in 100 years' time will clean harry's grave for me. it's a beautiful stone. and that will shine. steve and lee are almost done for the day. the writing on the headstone is now starting to become legible. steve takes photos to send to his researcher. you see the lettering become clear.

so we now know who he is, what he did. we can now go and research him and hopefully find family and add his obituary and find the research. that gives me loads of pleasure. that'll look nice by the weekend. 0k. for both steve and lee, this has become a kind of therapy, restoring the graves and resurrecting the stories of forgotten heroes. what an amazing job they are doing! and steve daviesjoins us now. thank you for coming in. this is quite something, quite something. a lot of people getting in touch this morning saying how moved they are and how grateful they are for what you are doing, especially lots of those families. i you are doing, especially lots of those families.— you are doing, especially lots of those families. i only started it, i started five _ those families. i only started it, i started five years _ those families. i only started it, i started five years ago _ those families. i only started it, i started five years ago when - those families. i only started it, i started five years ago when i - those families. i only started it, i| started five years ago when i went to the christening of my niece's

i was on call and i had a patient, who was carlos. he presented to us with a stroke. and we did some scans. you know, it's a big team who can certainly help patients. and sometimes we save patients' lives, that's absolutely true, and it does make you feel you're doing a very worthwhile job. large pits said to be from the stone age have been discovered on a building site in bedfordshire. archaeologists have found up to 25 at houghton regis. animal bones at the bottom have been used to date the pits at 8,000 years old. travel now, and let's see how the tube is looking. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there is very limited brightness around this morning.

a largely cloudy start. and a largely cloudy day with some outbreaks of rain. these outbreaks of rain potentially interrupting play at wimbledon. they gradually intensify, becoming heavier through the afternoon, more prolonged spells of rain. can't rule out a rumble of thunder. temperatures reaching 19 celsius. into the evening it is going to stay quite wet. gradually overnight the heavy rain will spiral away. behind it the cloud will break, clearer spells by dawn. but as it breaks the wind will also strengthen. minimum temperature around nine celsius. tomorrow it is looking like a dry start. breezy to start with. then we will see this cloud edging in through the day. as the heat of the day gets going, we might see a few showers. can't rule out a rumble of thunder on wednesday. temperatures tomorrow, 21 celsius. a more settled day for thursday. a southerly breeze develops, dragging in some warm air, especially as we head through friday and saturday. there's more on our website and social media, including the hit k—pop group

blackpink and their recent performance in hyde park. that's it for now. i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. now it's a tough time to find somewhere to rent at the moment with soaring prices, rising interest rates and intense competition for properties. and new research from the bbc shows that some landlords are using the surge in demand to say children and pets are not welcome in many rental homes. ben has more for us. yeah, many people would be noticing that it yeah, many people would be noticing thatitis yeah, many people would be noticing that it is hard enough to find a property to rent that is both suitable and affordable. there are some other factors that make it even more challenging for some. those further obstacles facing people looking to rent has been uncovered

ljy looking to rent has been uncovered by some new research conducted by the bbc, which analysed 8000 adverts posted on two leading property websites over four days in may. here is what it found. it found that nearly a quarter of the ads on one website popular with landlords specifically discouraged families from renting. while another 300 went as far as to specifically state children were not wanted, although that is under i% of the adverts on the site. and pets fare no better. nearly three quarters of listings on one of the sites said our loyal companions would not be welcome. there are no laws explicitly stopping landlords doing this at the moment. but there are concerns this discriminates against single parents, particularly women, as our cost of living correspondent kevin peachey has been finding out. it's almost a full time job. sara has been searching for somewhere to rent for a year without any luck. there's a big problem with having children under the age of 18.

that's a big barrier. being a single parent on benefits is another big barrier. also, the fact that i'm a student is a big barrier. so there's all these hurdles that i'm having tojump over, and then i find another one, and then i find another one. landlords turning down applications from tenants with children isn't against the law, but lawyers say it could be considered as discrimination. there's concern, too, about whether pets are welcome in rental homes. animal charities say that leaves renters having to make some tough choices. it's a really significant issue for battersea. one in ten of the animals that comes through our gates as a result of their owners facing housing challenges. and obviously behind that statistic are hundreds of really heartbreaking stories, where people are taking the really difficult decision to give up an animal to us. rising costs and competition are making it harderfor tenants to find somewhere to live. but, under a proposed new law for england, it would be tougher for a landlord to refuse

any tenant with a pet. those plans would allow renters to request to keep a pet, which a landlord couldn't unreasonably refuse. but many landlords are worried about the risk of damage caused by pets. property mark, the trade body for lettings agents, says a cap on deposits has made owners even more wary of the potential cost. there's also a general acceptance that not every property is suitable for children. the listing sites we looked at were clear that there were no blanket bans on tenants with pets or children. the dog, i can leave at my ex—husband's. but with demand for rental properties high, for mums like sara, the search goes on. kevin peachey, bbc news. one of the charities we spoke to said these figures only start to reveal the problem because some people are only told pets and children are not allowed once they have applied for the property. it

won't necessarily be mentioned in the advert. a lot of you have been in touch by text, e—mail, whatsapp. sally and john have been looking through some of those and they raise some interesting points. you are right. lots of you in touch about this story. let's talk more about this with property lawyer neli borisova. first of all, people might have seen in previous years landlords advertising properties to rent about saying no pets, but no children? how common is that rule now? i saying no pets, but no children? how common is that rule now?— common is that rule now? i can't really comment _ common is that rule now? i can't really comment on _ common is that rule now? i can't really comment on how - common is that rule now? i can't really comment on how common | common is that rule now? i can't i really comment on how common it common is that rule now? i can't - really comment on how common it is, but i think some of your report revealed the data that you have, there are a lot of properties being advertised as a blanket kind of no children ban.— children ban. what is the status with that legally? _ children ban. what is the status with that legally? is _ children ban. what is the status with that legally? is a _ children ban. what is the status with that legally? is a landlord l with that legally? is a landlord allowed to do that?—

with that legally? is a landlord allowed to do that? yes, if i have to answer— allowed to do that? yes, if i have to answer with _ allowed to do that? yes, if i have to answer with one _ allowed to do that? yes, if i have to answer with one word. - allowed to do that? yes, if i have to answer with one word. this - allowed to do that? yes, if i have to answer with one word. this is l allowed to do that? yes, if i have i to answer with one word. this is not one of the protections provided by equality legislation. tenants are not entitled to have pets, for example, orto not entitled to have pets, for example, or to have children. however, could be a case of indirect discrimination these practices could affect certain categories more than others. for example, single women are more likely to be a single parent, and they're more likely to be in receipt of benefits. that could affect them more than others. but the lawyers are clear there are not any court decisions that make it clear this is a case of clear discrimination.— clear this is a case of clear discrimination. ., , ., ., , discrimination. people are really stru: aalin discrimination. people are really struggling to _ discrimination. people are really struggling to find _ discrimination. people are really struggling to find rental - discrimination. people are really i struggling to find rental properties at the moment. we have had it in from dale. he is in manchester. he has been looking for a new home to rent for two years. he is really struggling to find somewhere. that is because he has a dog. what are his options?—

it is being addressed in the' reform bill. law will change it is expected, from next year, which will mean that tenants that are in place in a tenancy will be able to request to have a pet and a landlord will not be able to reasonably withhold consent. however, this still does not address marketing is no pets. another message from emily on the isle of man. she says her family had no choice but to give up their rescue pets to find somewhere to live. there is somebody who tried to do the right thing, rescued some animals and has to give them away herself because she can't find anywhere to live with them? yeah, that is very — anywhere to live with them? yeah, that is very sad. _ anywhere to live with them? yeah, that is very sad. but _ anywhere to live with them? yeah, that is very sad. but under- anywhere to live with them? yeah, that is very sad. but under the - anywhere to live with them? yeah, j that is very sad. but under the new law there might— that is very sad. but under the new law there might be _ that is very sad. but under the new law there might be an _ that is very sad. but under the new law there might be an option - that is very sad. but under the new law there might be an option for. law there might be an option for people like her to challenge that ruling? people like her to challenge that rulin: ? . , people like her to challenge that rulin: ? ,, , ., , ., ruling? she will be able to challenge _ ruling? she will be able to challenge it _ ruling? she will be able to challenge it if _ ruling? she will be able to challenge it if she - ruling? she will be able to challenge it if she already| ruling? she will be able to . challenge it if she already has ruling? she will be able to - challenge it if she already has a tenancy and she requests to have a pet, and then the landlord refuses

to grant consent unreasonably. there could be a lot of reasons why properties are not suitable to have a pet. for example, if it is a very small property and a very big dog. or if the landlord is looking to reoccupy the property and they have a severe pet allergy. however, the new law will require landlords to give a reason for the refusal. and then tenants will be able to challenge that if it is not reasonable.— challenge that if it is not reasonable. ,, ., , ,, ., ,, reasonable. quite a process. thank ou for reasonable. quite a process. thank you for coming _ reasonable. quite a process. thank you for coming in. _ we know that deep sleep is good for you. but how would you feel after having the deepest sleep in the world? that s what s on offer at a new hotel more than 400 metres underground in a welsh slate mine. as reporter george herd found out, its not for the faint—hearted.

he asked the crowd to give his opponent a round of applause because he took up to a third set tie—break. i thought novak served well, he was very balanced and very clinical from the back of the court. i think you would be pretty happy with i his first—round win. he would be pretty happy with i his first-round win.— would be pretty happy with i his first-round win. he even saw the funny side _ first-round win. he even saw the funny side as _ first-round win. he even saw the funny side as he _ first-round win. he even saw the funny side as he helped - first-round win. he even saw the funny side as he helped to i first-round win. he even saw the i funny side as he helped to remove some of the water. he was getting his towel out. he is feeling relaxed, isn't he?- his towel out. he is feeling relaxed, isn't he? . relaxed, isn't he? yeah, he did look reall , relaxed, isn't he? yeah, he did look really. really — relaxed, isn't he? yeah, he did look really, really liked. _ relaxed, isn't he? yeah, he did look really, really liked. so _ relaxed, isn't he? yeah, he did look really, really liked. so he _ relaxed, isn't he? yeah, he did look really, really liked. so he should, i really, really liked. so he should, he has just won the 23rd grand slam title. he now holds both of them for this year. i know we shouldn't be talking about it too much. the calendar slam is on. that means he is wanted to hold all four in one year. if he wins at wimbledon, he will be aiming for the us open. i think he is in a good place. he is a grand slam leader in main's tennis. i think he is feeling hungry and motivated to keep going. he doesn't want to stop where he's at, even though he is overtaking nadal in slams, i think he wants more. the slams, i think he wants more. a comfortable win for iga swiatek

yesterday. andy murray against ryan peniston today in an all british matchup. this is going to be an incredible atmosphere when they come out here? . , , ,, . ., out here? yeah, it is very special the fact we _ out here? yeah, it is very special the fact we are _ out here? yeah, it is very special the fact we are guaranteed i out here? yeah, it is very special the fact we are guaranteed a i out here? yeah, it is very special the fact we are guaranteed a to i out here? yeah, it is very special. the fact we are guaranteed a to the second round with andy murray against ryan peniston. i'm fascinated by whether there is a hierarchy there. he would have grown up hierarchy there. he would have grown up watching andy murray and looking up up watching andy murray and looking up to him. ryan peniston has had some good wins on grass, the majority of his atp tour wins have been on grass courts. he is a lefty. he had cancer as a baby. he has overcome some real adversity in his life. he beat casper ruud at queens last year. anne haug runa, an up—and—coming star of the main's game. andy grew up with a brother jamie who is lefty, so i don't think playing left—handers is a problem. i think ryan peniston could be tricky. i think murray will have a lot of love. this is his domain. he won two

titles here. and olympics as well. i think it is going to be special to see two brits going head—to—head. hoping tojoin liam brodie, jodie burridge... today we have got cameron norrie. we saw his run to the semifinals last year. katie boulter will be in action. how do you see the british players faring? i think the fact you have just lifted so many of them, and so many of them are really doing very well, and the are also capable of causing problems and are disrupting opponents down the other end. i think when you have that many names mixed in together, they are all pushing each other to hire levels. so i think it could be a really good wimbledon for the brits.— wimbledon for the brits. really excitina. wimbledon for the brits. really exciting. always _ wimbledon for the brits. really exciting. always great - wimbledon for the brits. really exciting. always great to i wimbledon for the brits. really exciting. always great to speak| wimbledon for the brits. really i exciting. always great to speak to you. thank you. enjoy the action. as i'm sure everybody will be watching at home today. the big one andy murray against ryan peniston. that is on centre court. we know that

wimbledon isn't the only big sports story in town at the moment. the ashes is a story which keeps getting bigger and bigger. ashes is a story which keeps getting biggerand bigger. not ashes is a story which keeps getting bigger and bigger. not least of course following that very controversial incident involving jonny bairstow. his controversial dismissal in that second test against australia at lord's. the as is rolls on to headingley on thursday. but i think this is something we are going to be talking about, not least when you consider that this talking point has gone right to the very top. let's remind ourselves of that incident at lord's last week when bairstow stepped out of his crease thinking the ball was dead and it was the end of the overcome only for the wicket to throw the ball back at his stumps. yesterday the british pm rishi sunak said it broke the spirit of cricket. little sympathy from the australians in this front—page if it is anything to go by. anthony albanese has tweeted, congratulating both the men's and women's teams, saying, "same old aussies, always winning."

ajibe at the "same old aussies, always winning." a jibe at the english fans chanting, same old aussies, always cheating, after bairstow was dismissed. you wonder what reception australia will receive when play gets under way at headingley on thursday. just a reminder of play today. we have got shelby rogers against elaine are a they are first up on centre court. ryan peniston against andy murray. and cam norrie, as well. you will be last up in court number one. never last up in court number one. never last and now list, carol. being on centre court, thinking we should have opened the doors early. we could have had a full hausia for your weather report this morning. in our dreams. but bless your heart. it is lovely to be inside. it is so much warmer inside. bud it is lovely to be inside. it is so much warmer inside.— it is lovely to be inside. it is so much warmer inside. and the roof is on and it is — much warmer inside. and the roof is on and it is keeping _ much warmer inside. and the roof is on and it is keeping us _ much warmer inside. and the roof is on and it is keeping us dry? - on and it is keeping us dry? definitely on for a reason. today the forecast is very mixed. we have got a cloudy start. some showers. as

we head into the afternoon and evening it looks like we are going to see some rain. some of that rain could be heavy and potentially thundery. but for many of us today we will see some dry weather, some sunshine, the rain in the south and the north, where we are looking at rain and drizzle. cooler than yesterday. not as windy. with the weather front trekked across scotland, it will sink into northern ireland and also northern england. some of the showers could be heavy and thundery. the showers in the south replaced by the rain moving in across southern counties and across the south—east. that too could be heavy and thundery. in between we are looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunny spells and some showers. temperatures today up to about 15 or 20 degrees. north to south. as we head through this evening and overnight the rain continues the journey eastwards, lingering longest in the east of east anglia. there will be some showers might behind it. and still

our mccormick weather front across northern ireland, northern england and scotland producing some showers. a cool night, falling away to between five to 11 degrees. if you are camping, that certainly is something to remember. into tomorrow, tomorrow is a right old mishmash of sunshine and showers. not all of us will catch a shower. but you could catch a shower almost anywhere. again, the wind continues to subside. temperatures up a little bit on today. highs up to 20 or 21 degrees. indeed thursday, many of us will start the day on a drying out. through the day the cloud will continue to increase, turning any sunshine hazy. there will be showers in the northern part of the west. and later in the day looks like we will see some rain coming into northern ireland. it is going to be a warmer day on thursday. the wind subtly changing direction to a south—westerly. then as we go through the rest of the week, as the wind becomes more southerly, what

you will find is that it is going to turn warmer again. at the weekend temperatures in the south will be up up to 27 or 28 degrees. and it will feel humid by day and also by night. carol, thank you. wimbledon looking glorious. even in that cloud. even with the roof closed. those people waiting in the queue yesterday, we know some of them were waiting 48 hours camping out to get in, then they had a long wait for security as well, didn't they? yes, security is really, really tight, and i think that is one of the reasons the queue has been slow. fi lamdin is in the queue. what is the atmosphere like? it is lamdin is in the queue. what is the atmosphere like?— atmosphere like? it is actually amazinu . atmosphere like? it is actually amazing- we _ atmosphere like? it is actually amazing. we thought - atmosphere like? it is actually amazing. we thought it i atmosphere like? it is actually amazing. we thought it was i atmosphere like? it is actually i amazing. we thought it was going to rain. it hasn't. people come up with ulcers of amazing things to keep themselves occupied. just take a little look at this. —— all sorts of amazing things.

alexa, call help. three words that saved a life. emma anderson was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at 15. it's when the heart muscle is too thick to function properly and causes blackouts, exhaustion and sometimes a lack of speech. from age two, darcey knew her mum had a problem. we always told darcey from a young age that mummy had a sore heart, that sometimes mummy needed some help to feel better, and that was it. darcy's dad works six days a week, so gran is on hand when there's an emergency. on alexa, you can go through and add an emergency contact. so i added my mum. i'd always say to darcey, if mummy�*s not well, you can go and you ask alexa to call help. it will call granny and granny will come straight away. and she's, like, "right, 0k." it works as a phone call. so she was talking to my mum through the device as well. mum answered it like a phone call. darcey says to her granny, "mummy�*s not well." granny says, "i'm on my way, sweetheart. just you stay talking to me." my mum was in within a minute.

just over a year ago, emma had a heart transplant, but recovered just in time to marry husband connor. walking down the aisle before the transplant would have been impossible. now she has a totally new life and is incredibly grateful to the donor's family. they've gave you something that you could never repay. they've lost something massive in their lives. it's not a miracle cure. it still definitely comes with its ups and downs. hello, granny. now emma can pick darcey up from school and do things most of us take for granted. honestly, the best thing, swimming. i took her to the swimming. i couldn't do that before with a fear of passing out. emma would not be alive today if it wasn't for darcey. honestly, she's just a superstar. she's amazing. i mean, she has her moments, like all kids do. she's no angel by far, but she's... yeah, she is my little miracle, so she is. suzanne allan, bbc news.

emma saying she is no angel. i think she might be. so many negative stories about technology. great to see it being used so successfully. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8:59.
