became the first unseeded player to win the women's single�*s title. she beat the favourite ons jabeur in straight sets, as our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. unseeded, unstoppable, and almost unbelievable. marketa vondrousova came as an outsider, leaving as the champion. she emerged to face tunisia's ons jabeur, knowing the pressure was on her opponent. no african or arab woman had won the title, and jabeur had victory in her sides. but vondrousova had a roan motivation, a career related by injury, coming to wimbledon last year as a fan with her wrist in plaster. —— had her own motivation. suddenly she was inspired. after trailing 4—2, the czech charged to the first set. jabeur�*s early

confidence had turned to nerves. she is a huge fan favourite, here, though, and briefly responded. brought on by the crowd, the comeback seemed on. —— roared. but once again vondrousova realtor in an victory was hers. the first unseeded player to win the women's title here, her husband, stefan, onlyjust making the final because she was ——he was looking out the cat. after receiving the prize, how would she celebrate? with a new tattoo. i receiving the prize, how would she celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my — celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my coach _ celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my coach and _ celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my coach and he _ celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my coach and he said - celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my coach and he said if- celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my coach and he said if i i a bet with my coach and he said if i won the grand slam, he would get one too. all of you guys are amazing. my little sister is crying down there. but despite a little royal

form now for 24 years. he has strongly suggested that he will continue arguing for a higher government spending on defence, saying rishi sunak had pledged to spend 2.5% of national income on defence but hasn't yet set a date for when that will be. but i think his departure will be seen as quite a big blow for some in the conservative party. he has always been a popular figure among conservative party members. he was seen at one stage as being a frontrunner to be the next conservative party leader although chose not to run for leader when borisjohnson resigned. he does as well leave a big pair of boots to fill. because he has been the front runner leading the uk's response to ukraine while that warts still wages on. —— war still wages. the business and trade secretary,

kemi badenoch, has formally signed off a trade pact with 11 asian and pacific nations — including japan and australia. the uk is the first new member and the first european country to join the block since it was formed in 2018. government calculations suggest membership of the group will boost the uk's income by less than a tenth of 1% over the next decade. let's check in with the weather with helen. any improvement on the rain? good morning. it is another blustery, showery day ahead with plenty more rainbows and shower cloud. but i thought i would take a look at what we have had in europe yesterday. the heater still with us, 40 in spain, 44 in parts of turkey, up 40 in spain, 44 in parts of turkey, up to 39 in parts of germany. although temperatures are just going to drop a couple of degrees, read warnings out, still more heat to come into next week as well. here in the uk, this area of low pressure away. we will see brief improvement with some drier weather monday but

tuesday brings more low pressure and therefore further rain and showers back away. we might see if you are late in the week. but it means that for the next few days we will see the rainfall amounts starting to add up the rainfall amounts starting to add up again. you can see it is driest with the lighter blues in the southeast, but plenty more showers further north and west. this is how the radar picture of the rain looks at the moment. that is yesterday's rain bad, these heavy showers following and behind. hopefully we will see fewer showers generally than yesterday, but several changes because low pressure has moved to the northeast, so we have stronger winds across scotland and northern ireland today, gusts 40 i — 45 miles an hour. breeze in the south, some showers, perhaps fewer to the south and east. these are the wind gusts were looking at during the day ahead. a notch down across england and wales compared to yesterday. but still in the showers and blustery breeze quite cool, but it feels warm in the sunshine when it comes out. more today across england and wales.

hopefully, as i say, showers less widespread, but the chance of hail and thunder in there, longer spells of rain for scotland, continued overnight. longer, drierspells, so probably pressure for most of us. immediate —— humidity isn't that i because the zero north—westerly wind. on monday as the pressure pulls away, the high pressure starts to dominate more, but it isn't particularly strong, so i can't promise it will be dry. a bit because i tomorrow morning to start with. some sunshine. as you can see, showers in the forecast, not for all, not as free dental, widespread, oras all, not as free dental, widespread, or as heavy as they have been through the weekend. as a result we might see temperatures just lifting a little but behind me we have the next band of rain coming in. for tuesday. so thejury next band of rain coming in. for tuesday. so the jury is out on the positioning of this area of rain but it does mean that we will see more rain and what has already been a

fairly wetjuly for most parts. much—needed rain. we have seen well more than the average for what we would see across scotland and northern ireland, which is needed because north—west scotland in particular has been quite dry. there is another dollop of persistent rain adding ourfor tuesday. is another dollop of persistent rain adding our for tuesday.— adding our for tuesday. thank you helen. i adding our for tuesday. thank you helen- i have _ adding our for tuesday. thank you helen. i have to _ adding our for tuesday. thank you helen. i have to say, _ adding our for tuesday. thank you helen. i have to say, with - adding our for tuesday. thank you helen. i have to say, with the - helen. i have to say, with the schools breaking up in england mostly next week, and looking ahead for the next couple of weeks, it looks pretty dreadful. i know, exactly. is there any prospect of any more sunshine? i haven't looked further ahead, to be honest, rachel, the next week, but the pattern is that, there will be dry and sunny spells in between but we are stuck in a bit of a right at the moment with the low pressure driving. looking ahead further south across europe so the lower pressure is driving the systems got the north—west where we live. irate is driving the systems got the north-west where we live. we might moan north-west where we live. we might mean about — north-west where we live. we might moan about it _ north-west where we live. we might moan about it but _ north-west where we live. we might moan about it but some _ north-west where we live. we might moan about it but some manure - north-west where we live. we might l moan about it but some manure would be grateful for the rain and moan about it but some manure would be gratefulfor the rain and equal attempt as we are having. thank you,

helen. now, a barge which will house up to 500 migrants off the dorset coast could arrive at portland port within days — and some businesses in the area say they've already suffered as a result of the plan. protests against the barge prompted a cruise ship to cancel a planned stop in weymouth, costing the local economy an estimated £400,000. james ingham has been talking to some of those affected. weymouth's summer season is in full swing, the town is busy. but it gets even busier when cruise ships pay a visit, docking in nearby portland port. the port are mooting that cruise ship passengers bring about £400,000 to the economy on a trip. and i would advocate that's probably about right because of the amount of fish and chips they buy and the gifts they buy and the things they want to take back to where ever they've come from, in order to take a little bit of england,

britain bring back with them really. but instead of cruise passengers it was protesters who came to town, here to show their opposition to controversial plans to house asylum seekers on a giant barge at the port. that prompted a cruise company to cancel a planned stop because of safety concerns. a decision which had a big impact on the local economy. we did notice a difference in footfall. for us, it's really important. and it's notjust about them coming in — and obviously they spend their money — but it's just the vibrancy they bring to the town. they absolutely love it, everywhere's booming and the businesses are all doing well. some of the 3600 people on board the cruise ship would have gone on excursions to nearby attractions. bluebird coaches had four vehicles booked for trips. with protesters adamant they'll be back, this family—run firm is worried that more cruise ships may give portland a miss. we've got cruise ships booked right through to october and we are worried going forward

if more cruise liners do cancel and we may have already turned work down because, in our eyes, we were fully booked in those dates because the cruise liners ere due to come in. hey, lorna! looking really busy? tidying up the shelves, refilling, lots of local dorset produce. lorna is another who relies on the cruise trade, she is against the barge but also worried about the protesters. they're affecting people they probably do not mean to affect. so the locals who require the money we get from these cruise ships to survive. and to make it from one season to the next. you guys are right, it shouldn't be here but you need to take it to government. they are the people who are responsible for this, not the ports, not to the locals. the barge may arrive in portland within days and 500 men moved in soon after. that's likely to lead

to more protests and more concern from businesses nearby. james ingham, bbc news, weymouth. more on that story a little later in the programme. let's take a look at today's papers. the sunday times leads on its interview with ben wallace. he's announced he is standing down as defence secretary at the next reshuffle, and as an mp at the next election. the sunday telegraph reports that former soldiers will be called on to join a surge force in future crises, as the size of the army reduces. the mail on sunday leads on a story about prince george, saying he "will not be expected to serve in the military before becoming king", and that's something which would break with centuries of tradition. it quotes a "long—time friend of george's father, prince william". rat that is an interesting debate around whether a future monarch would need to have... and the observer shows marketa— vondrousova — who yesterday became

the first unseeded player to win the wimbledon women's singles title. also this image of the princess of wales comforting on this of course that win means the sixth seed ons jabeur has now lost all three major finals she's been in — and it was an emotional loss for her. this picture shows her being consoled by the princess of wales. a hug helps but it is really tough. she gave everything in that final! she gave everything in that final! she was upset at having lost and that missed opportunity. there is no doubt will be back but it must have given her a bit of comfort and anyone at that stage in their life, you need to come and give them a hug stop everyone needs a hug! she you need to come and give them a hug stop everyone needs a hug!— stop everyone needs a hug! she also needs to keep _ stop everyone needs a hug! she also needs to keep in _ stop everyone needs a hug! she also needs to keep in mind _ stop everyone needs a hug! she also needs to keep in mind people - stop everyone needs a hug! she also needs to keep in mind people like i needs to keep in mind people like kim clijsters who having lost so

there is a small boy with my dad and then obviously growing up with my brother. he has been very influential in my career growing up. but yes, this feeling at the moment doesn't get better. and how about a doubles victory with both players being british? alfie hewett and gordon reid won the wheelchair doubles title for a fifth time. they came from a set down to beat japanese pair tokito oda and takuya miki on court one. hewett has won all the grand slams at doubles and singles except for the wimbledon individual title, but he can put that right today in the final against oda. britain's alfie hewett will try to complete a career grand slam by winning the wimbledon wheelchair singles title for the first time. he plays tokito oda in the final later. on match point i think we were both cheering up a little bit because the atmosphere was electric and my first wimbledon was in 2008, out on court 53 or something... wimbledon was in 2008, out on court 53 or something. . ._ in i 53 or something... laughter. in front of my _ 53 or something... laughter. in front of my mum _ 53 or something... laughter. in front of my mum and _ 53 or something... laughter. in front of my mum and my - 53 or something... laughter. in front of my mum and my sister . 53 or something... laughter. in | front of my mum and my sister and somebody�*s dog. if you told me then

in front of inter miami fans later today after officially joining the club owned by david beckham. the unveil, as they are calling it, will take place at their stadium as he joins major league soccer until 2025. the world cup winner revealed last month that he would leave psg to move to the usa. rory mcilroy leads the way going into today's final round of the scottish open at the renaissance club. the northern irishman is 13 under par, one shot clear of south korea's tom kim and two ahead of england's tommy fleetwood. tee—times have been brought forward a couple of hours with strong winds forecast. it's the closest tour de france in years. defending championjonas vingegaard leads tadej pogacar byjust ten seconds, after gaining one second on stage 14 in the alps. vingegaard benefited from pogacar�*s bad luck on the last climb of the day. the slovenian was blocked by a photographer's motorbike when he was on course to take an eight—second time bonus.

vingegaard overtook him to take the bonus himself — although pogacar made some time back by finishing second on the stage. carlos rodriguez, of the british ineos grenadiers team, won the stage to move up to third overall. another gold medal at the world para athletics championships for great britain — dan pembroke claiming the men's javelin f13 title after throwing a huge 70 metres 50 on his second attempt. pembroke was a non—disabled athlete and was on track for the london 2012 olympics but suffered an injury which denied him a place on the team. and he says he couldn't have imagined then how his journey would pan out. backin back in 2013 i made the tough decision to stop my able—bodied career and i said decision to stop my able—bodied careerand i said i decision to stop my able—bodied career and i said i don't think i would ever return to throwing the javelin. that i went travelling, fulfilled my travel ambition, and have been given this incredible opportunity to live as an athlete

and fulfil my childhood dreams of being world champion and have done it, and paralympic champion. somerset won the t20 blast final last night, beating essex by 14 runs at edgebaston. essex were 131 for nine needing 15 from ten balls to win but that catch by tom kohler—cadmore to hand victory and a second t20 title to somerset. england's women will hope for a fourth successive win against australia as they look to take the lead in the ashes. they levelled the series last wednesday with victory in the first of three one day internationals. it's been a remarkable turnaround from losing the test and the opening t20 game. the teams meet again at southampton today. i have been lucky enough to play for england for ten years now and seen where it has come from, this summer it feels like such a huge way to go, but it is such an amazing thing to see and to be part of it, i feel

really proud and i get a little emotional because we all started off playing a sport that we love them want to play because we loved it. and now to see that many people, to watch, still playing the sport i love is amazing. will be watchinu sport i love is amazing. will be watching that _ sport i love is amazing. will be watching that and _ sport i love is amazing. will be watching that and the - sport i love is amazing. will be watching that and the weather| sport i love is amazing. will be i watching that and the weather in southampton later on as well. the wales training camp for the world cup is in the picture postcard surroundings of the swiss alps. but there's nothing pretty about the punishing regime the players are being put through ahead of the tournament in just over two months, as tomos dafydd found out when he visited the camp in the alpine resort of fiesch. it is brutal. exhausting in the heat. a training regime to ensure wales will be at their best come september. brute wales will be at their best come september-— wales will be at their best come se tember. ~ . ., ~ , september. we have the attitude. as well as the heat. _ september. we have the attitude. as well as the heat. and _ september. we have the attitude. as well as the heat. and we're _ september. we have the attitude. as well as the heat. and we're getting i well as the heat. and we're getting flogged. so all those three together

hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from switzerland — or, more specifically, the international balloon festival in the swiss alps. we'll be taking a bird's—eye perspective on that later on. but in the meantime, let's head to zurich for something a little more underground. i'm on a journey from switzerland's capital, beginning with a drive two hours south—west, because i've heard that all around this country is a vast network of bunkers — some of which are open for travellers to explore. among them are old military forts, which you can still see hidden in the mountainside... glorious view.

..if you have a sharp eye. so, i've been given a pin that tells me that there's a bunker basically here, somewhere. it's camouflaged. so, there's going to be a trick actually finding it. i mean, this stretch of mountainside just does look like every other stretch of mountainside for miles in either direction. so, hopefully, we are in the right place! of course, you shouldn't search for military bunkers that might still be in use. but what i'm looking for is something else. in recent decades, some of the bunkers have been sold off and made into everything from hotels to high security data centres. i'm told this one houses a local delicacy. how well camouflaged is it going to be, is the question. hope i can actually find it. this very much looks like solid rock. is there an entry point? oh, crafty! look at this. look at this!

camouflaged door. wow, that is awesome. you would not... i mean, i was probably 20 feet away and didn't notice that. that's awesome. look at this. hello? oui. bonjour. bonjour, bonjour. bonjour. voila! 0h! look at this. so why is this full of cheese? michel bought this bunker in 2004 and recently started offering tours.

there are thought to be many thousands of these in the country. oh, that's lovely. yeah. oh, that's lovely. c'est bon. tres bon. it's gorgeous. for hundreds of years, switzerland has remained famously neutral during conflicts, and staying neutral has involved taking precautions. so, from the 1880s and stepping up during world war ii, these bunkers helped to keep out potential invaders.

wow! look at this. wow! door clatters. this is a great spot to get a sense of the strategy behind this place, because michel was telling me this is the only road to go into this region and that used to be covered by a big anti—tank gun that used to be stationed here. so this is, like, prime position right here. today, though, bunkers here are far from just a thing of the past. in fact, one company here has begun offering its swiss bunker experience for the world's wealthy, with prices starting at $10 million each. and today's bunkers aren't just for the ultra rich. since the cold war, a policy has been in place stating that every swiss resident must have access to a bunker, either within their own building or in a public shelter, in most cases within a 30—minute walk.

so, i've reached out to a local resident to show me something in her cellar... greetings. ..that�*s really not unusual here at all. this way to the bunker, i guess? yeah, it's just here. look at this door. i know, right? i think that even myself, i can't really...pull it. it's quite thick. i think it's concrete. and this one, you can basically close it from inside in case of emergency. i mean, this is no ordinary cellar door. no, it's not. and you can see that the cellar is basically split in two parts, so you have, like, the bunker with some shelter inside that i'll show you. lead the way. let's have a look. abir moved to switzerland three years ago from france and shares this bunker with the residents of the other six apartments in her block. and then you have here all the, like, half of the apartment�*s food stock and, like, other supplies. so, these are like survival

supplies for the bunker? it's not... or is this used for general storage? it's for general storage. so, it's not mandatory, like, to keep — it'sjust recommended to keep some supply. i don't do it. but you can see that here, for example, you have some neighbours that have some food supplies. what was your reaction when you first moved into the apartment and they were like, "oh, "by the way, downstairs there's a bunker." yeah, i was actually amused and surprised. when i first moved in, like a few years ago, like, i didn't think about, like, in case of emergency, what can happen. but since covid and since also, like, ukraine war, that is like at the door of europe, right? you never know what can happen. in the city of lucerne, what was built as the largest shelter in the world lies hidden in the heart of the city. this kind of looks like any old tunnel you might find in europe, but we're in switzerland, so you might be forgiven for suspecting something else is going on, and this one is special. it's part of a huge bunker system that was designed

to accommodate 20,000 people in the event of an emergency. theyjust slam shut big blast—proof doors at either end of the tunnel and suddenly, this stretch of road becomes a 1.5km—long shelter. surrounding the tunnel is a vast seven—floor structure with all the facilities that might be needed in the event that the bunker is activated. today, its capacity is reduced to 2,000 people with regular tours available. what kind of things might people use this for today? still armed conflicts. it could be a conventional war, it could be a nuclear warfare, biological, chemical, orjust a natural disaster when people lose their home due to avalanches, mudslides, floods, for instance. it's basicallyjust a useful resource that's there to be

used for whatever you need it for? yes. technically, you're supposed to have food stocks ready at home for two weeks. that's the maximum duration of stay you have to be prepared for in the beginning. we're four levels underground here but you wouldn't know it with this big space, which would have been used for up to 700 staff that would have looked after 20,000 people down on the tunnels, if it had been used. they really thought about everything, though, because you've even got prison cells where, if there were some troublemakers, they could be brought up here, you know, locked up away from the main population. oh, wow, look at this. traffic hums. this is the road we came in on right here. it's mad! it's right in the middle of this massive complex, isn't it? and you'd never know if you're just driving through. wowee. very cool. and noisy, too. ever since the war started

in the ukraine, i've been getting calls and emails from people asking me, "can you please tell me what i have to do "if this gets closer?" wow, and that's swiss — swiss people... not people from outside saying, "how do i build a bunker?" swiss people. mostly elderly people, so this just shows how massive that threat must have been back in the �*60s and �*70s when these measures were taken and how those recent events bring up those fears again. that place is an amazing place to visit. just the scale of it, seven floors under the ground. but i think what's most interesting for me is really what it says, a place like this, about this country and its mind—set, and really what it takes to remain neutral in such a conflict—ridden world. i think there must be also something quite reassuring for a swiss person to know that all of this energy and ingenuity has been expended in the event of an emergency to keep you safe, for a couple of weeks at least.

and if you're thinking of heading to switzerland any time soon, here are some travel show tips to help you plan your trip. close to where we met michel is the town of interlaken. situated between two lakes, this town is home to year—round alpine adventures with plenty of activities for adrenaline seekers. it offers panoramic views of the swiss alps and easy access to popular ski and hiking resorts in the winter, as well as the opportunity to try canyoning, paragliding, skydiving and bungeejumping in the summer. if you're thinking of using public transport, buying a swiss travel pass can be a cost—effective way of getting around. it'll give you unlimited travel across the swiss travel system, like the excellent train network, which is frequent,

reliable and a great way of seeing the country. for many travelling to switzerland, the matterhorn is a must. the mountain's striking pyramid shape has drawn serious climbers for years. but to get close to its peak, you don't have to work up a sweat. the gornergrat bahn, also known as the matterhorn railway, is the highest open—air railway in europe, offering views of the matterhorn from the peak of nearby gornergrat. and if you're coming here in summer, there's still plenty to enjoy. the annual montreux jazz festival kicks off at the end ofjune and lasts for two weeks. it began in 1967, focused on jazz, but now features a wide range of musical acts, including blues, rock, pop and hip—hop, attracting 200,000 visitors. it's known for its iconic setting on lake geneva and its long history of hosting top musical talent from around the world. this year's programme will be unveiled in the spring. still to come

on the travel show... you know, when you take off, you never know where you land and when you land. woo! ..i try a balloon festival like no other in the swiss alps. this word gets used a lot but there's something quite magical about being up here. switzerland isn't short of an impressive train ride or two. offering views of the snow—capped alps, the latest is the goldenpass express. and it's got a surprising secret. i'm travelling between interlaken and montreux, and it's fair to say the main drawcard of this journey is what's outside the window — these absolutely spectacular mountain views. but this train itself is actually really interesting and it's all to do with — this is technical, so bear with me — the rail gauges.

that's the distance between the rails. in 1916, this awe—inspiring route was completed, connecting montreux on lake geneva to the vibrant city of lucerne. travellers could ride in style through the beautiful bernese alps and witness some of the most stunning scenery in the world. but for years, passengers had to get off and change trains mid—journey to accommodate for when the rail gauges change — notjust to a different width, but also a different height. but now, travellers can make the entire journey on just one train, thanks to some clever engineering. what can i see here? that's the gauge changing installation. this is the point where...? this is the point. 0k! this is where the magic happens. laughs.

so, we go from a wider gauge. the weight of the carriages are taken on small wheels on the side of the carriages and that allows the bogies to change gauge. so how long did this project take, or is it something you could do fairly quickly? the first idea to make the link between the two regions is from 19th century, so very, very old, and the first prototype is from 2008. it's 12, 14 years later and we have a train. so, you must feel very proud to have achieved this — this device. yes, we're very proud of it. it's something unique and it functions and, yes, we can be proud. that's not, that's not — we can't hide that we are a bit proud of it. laughs. quite right, too!

now, i've travelled to the chateau—d'oex. set among the beautiful swiss alps, once a year, this small town brings hot—air balloon enthusiasts from around the world for a festival like no other. each morning of the nine—day festival, the pilots gather for a briefing from the organisers. yesterday is the winds. the wind here is fickle at all levels. it's picking up as we — as we speak. there's too much — too much wind. i've just popped into the pilots' briefing for all of the hot—air balloon pilots. i did gather, mostly from the faces of the pilots listening to the briefing, that perhaps the weather conditions aren't exactly perfect for the festival, so fingers crossed things improve. but all hope isn't lost. i've been told that over the nine days, organisers hope for at least five days of good flying weather, and some days with bad

weather are still good for partial flights. balloon pilot nick dunnington has been coming to this festival from the uk since he was a child, and he's offered to take me up later. so, nick, what's the status? everyone seems a little bit tense. laughs. yeah, so they've given us the clearance to fly this morning, but the winds above the tops of the mountains are actually quite strong, so we have to stay within the valley and the winds are going to actually drop, the quicker winds are going to speed up throughout the day and drop down into the valley, so we need to be flying early and landing early. for a complete novice, tell me what — is itjust obvious that if there's too much wind, the balloon will be uncontrollable? there's a lot of that. it's not that it's uncontrollable, it means that the landing will be faster, so you need a bigger space in which to land the balloon. so, not ideal. that suggests this is quite a challenging place for this event to take place? it is, yes. yeah, it's not the easiest.

but i think that's what attracts most of us here is the challenge, so... the festival began over 40 years ago and has grown from just a few balloons to the 60—plus balloons they have coming today. back when it started, it was the idea of founder charles—andre ramseier. we started ballooning here in �*76 and ballooning in the alps was brand new. nobody was doing it. i'd seen balloons in us but in the alps, it's a new dimension. a basket in the sky is like a balcony in the sky. it's — it's a dream. it's beautiful. you know where you take off, when you take off. you never know where you land and when you land. yeah, this is what i understood this morning listening to the pilot briefing — small changes, you know, that wouldn't affect many other leisure activities have such

a big impact with the hot—air balloons. yes. but you have to know that every season is different to fly. that's why if you want to be a good pilot, you have to fly every week. otherwise, you are a bad pilot. with some balloons starting to take to the skies, ijoin nick in the basket. oh, wow! and within just a few seconds, we are whisked high up into the air. nick, can you tell me what you're doing? i mean, there's all sorts of things going on. yeah, so at the moment, all we're doing is keeping the balloon nice and level, so we're putting in little bits of heat every now and again to keep the buoyancy up. uh-huh. so, tell me a little bit about the specific challenges of a landscape like this. so, obviously, up on the side of the mountains, there's a lot of snow, a lot of trees but not a lot of roads. so, you're having to land as close to a road as possible

to make the retrieval of all the kit easy. the mountains also produce a different climate, so there can be a lot of different wind patterns and things that develop around the mountains. it seems to be almost a lifestyle, this passion for ballooning. what is it that you love about ballooning? very much so. i mean, it's the tranquillity, as well, up here. you know, aside from the helicopter, it's peaceful. there's nothing. and you know, the views — you don't get this out of a aeroplane window. no. and there's a really big sense of community around ballooning. you know, it is a niche sport, i suppose, and we're all of a similar ilk, i suppose. this word gets used a lot, so bear with me, but there's something quite magical about being up here. usually, when you're at this height, you're either on a parasail with the wind, you know, in yourface

or in a plane or a helicopter, the thrum of the engine and the rotor. and up here, it's silent and there's barely a stir of wind. and it's just like we're sort of on a platform in the middle of the air with this incredible view out over the mountains. i think there's also something that appeals to the romantic in me, reallyjust sort of harking back to the earliest days of air travel, you know, the balloon setting off around the world in 80 days. there's something really special about this. well, that's all we've got time for on this week's programme, but coming up next week — we're looking back at some of our best bits from the last few months, including eva's encounter with a slippery customer in mexico... oh, my god!

it's so smooth! it's so lovely! oh, this is so incredible! ..ade's hunt for art thieves in italy... wow! this is — it's beautiful. it looks incredible. ..and my big splash in an estonian bog. absolutely freezing cold but, i mean, what a setting! so, dojoin us then, if you can. and don't forget, you can catch up on some of our recent adventures on bbc iplayer. until next time, from me and all the rest of the travel show team here in switzerland, it's goodbye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben boulos. our headlines today: a dramatic final weekend at wimbledon as marketa vondrousova becomes the first unseeded player to win the women's singles title. good morning from me. novak djokovic can set more records today. victory would equal roger federer�*s eight wimbledon titles and reach 24 grand slams overall — only carlos alcaraz stands in his way. also this morning, warnings of dangerous heat for hundreds of millions across southern europe and the united states. the defence secretary ben wallace announces he will step down from government and will leave parliament at the next election. a day in the life of a family doctor — we have a first hand account of the ups and downs

of being a gp in 2023. good morning. another day of blustery showers and one or two quite lively downpours, but hopefully on balance fewer than we had yesterday. more detail coming up. good morning. it's sundayjuly 16. thank you for being with us. our main story this morning is the dramatic end to wimbledon, where novak djokovic is aiming for a record—equalling eighth men's title when he faces top seed carlos alcaraz in the final this afternoon. it follows an historic day at the all england club, when marketa vondrousava became the first unseeded player to win the women's single's title. —— singles. she beat the favourite ons jabeur in straight sets, as our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. unseeded, unstoppable, and almost unbelievable. marketa vondrousova came here a rank outsider — she's leaving as the champion. she emerged to face

tunisia's ons jabeur, knowing the pressure was on her opponent. no african or arab woman had won ever won a major singles title, and jabeur had victory in her sides. but vondrousova had her own motivation, a career blighted by injury, coming to wimbledon last year as a fan with her wrist in plaster. and suddenly, she was inspired. after trailing 4—2, the czech charged to the first set. jabeur�*s early confidence had turned to nerves. she is a huge fan favourite, here, though, and briefly she responded. roared on by the crowd, the comeback seemed on. but once again, vondrousova reeled her in, and history was hers.

the first unseeded player to win the women's title here — her husband, stefan, onlyjust making the final because he was looking after the cat. after receiving the trophy from the princess of wales, how would she celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my coach and he said if i won the grand slam, he would get one too. all of you guys are amazing. you know, my little sister, she is crying out there. but despite a little royal consolation, the greatest tears were jabeur�*s. following her defeat in last year's final, this was almost too much to take. i think this is the most painful loss of my career. so... cheering and applause iam not going to give up and i'm going to come back stronger.

cheering and applause but for the champion, it was the stuff of dreams. well, wimbledon has seen some surprise winners over the years, but not many as surprising as this. marketa vondrousova has pulled off one of sport's most remarkable triumphs. there was also some british success to celebrate. neal skupski, who's twice won the mixed doubles here, won the men's doubles with his dutch partner wes koolhof. in the wheelchair doubles, delight for alfie hewett and gordon reid. their fifth wimbledon title together, hewett is also through to the singles final later on. but for she chopped value, at the table onto marketa vondrousova, the seventh women's champion here in a row, but even this unpredictable event has never seen an unlikelier winner. andy swiss, bbc news, wimbledon. the men's final starts at 2pm today.

hugh will have all the details on that, and the rest of today's sport, shortly. thatin that in a few minutes, but let's find out what is happening in the news with rachel. record temperatures are expected in parts of the us today as much of southern and central europe continues to experience an intense heatwave. officials on both sides of the atlantic are warning that the heat is posing serious health risks and causing wildfires. our correspondent joe inwood has more. 2000 people forced to flee their homes in the spanish canary islands. red alert in 16 italian cities. greek guardsmen struggling to stay standing. turkey braced for record temperatures. much of the mediterranean remains in the grip of a fierce heatwave. last week's was named cerberus, after the mythological 3—headed dog that guarded the gates of the underworld.

the coming one has been dubbed charon, after the ferryman who transported souls there. in venice, tourists have still come, but a bearing almost unbearable temperatures. translation: the heat is really harmful for us, | because the temperature in the gondola reaches 50 degrees. we have already tried to measure it. in fact, i am one of the few who use a cover, so as not to feel the heat from the gondola that goes up your legs and through your feet. it really burns. a shifting gulf stream is drawing hot air from north africa into europe, and also causing near—record temperatures across north america. wildfires have been raging for months in parts of canada, where more than 10 million hectares of forest have been destroyed injust six months. while in the us, more than a third of the population are now living under extreme heat advisories. and it's not only affecting the land.

water temperatures in the ocean around florida are off the charts. they are in the 90s, very warm. and it's not only in florida. something like 40% of the planet is seeing a marine heatwave right now. that's very serious for the animals that live in the ocean. man—made climate change is widely accepted to be behind events that are only going to get more frequent. having a heatwave in the summer isn't unheard—of, but what is really becoming unusual is the collection of these events, so the frequency and also the simultaneous occurrence around the globe. so, unfortunately, this is not surprising, what we're seeing. it's exactly what we expect from shifting the baseline temperature towards a higher level and therefore shifting the odds towards more extreme heat events. in the coming days, sardinia could hit 48 celsius, just shy of the hottest ever temperature recorded in europe. that was set in sicily last year. the way things are going, it is a record that won't

last for long. joe inwood, bbc news. meanwhile, rescuers in south korea are struggling to reach cars trapped in a flooded tunnel. around 15 vehicles are reported to be in the tunnel in cheong—ju, around 70 miles south of seoul. our reporter yuna ku is in seoul. what more can you tell us about this incident and the flooding across south korea ? rescuers have been working night and day in search of missing people. around 400 of them including soldiers have been deployed to one of the worst scenes of accidents that took place in cheong—ju. what happened here on saturday morning, floodwaters swept in the suburban tunnel too quickly, leaving 15 people and vehicles inside. a massive amount of water was pumped up massive amount of water was pumped up last night. today they started the full search. so far the local

fire officials reported nine people have been found dead at the site and there could be more as the operation is under way. the korean authorities say three days of continuous downpours in the central and south—eastern areas of the country have left at least 33 people dead and ten missing. experts point out over the last few years, the weather has become unpredictable and too extreme in this country so in this case almost one third of annual precipitation is stomach has been realised in these three days. thank ou ve realised in these three days. thank you very much _ realised in these three days. thank you very much indeed, _ realised in these three days. thank you very much indeed, yuna i realised in these three days. thank you very much indeed, yuna ku. i realised in these three days. thank| you very much indeed, yuna ku. we will have more on that on bbc news throughout the day. meanwhile, back here, police have launched a murder investigation after a 17—year—old boy was stabbed to death in north—west london following a birthday party. officers were called to reports of a fight in kilburn on friday. another teenage boy,

and a women in her twenties received hospital treatment but were discharged. the defence secretary ben wallace has said he'll leave government at the next reshuffle, and won't stand as an mp at the next election. our political correspondent georgia robertsjoins us now. georgia, why has ben wallace taken this decision and how significant is it? there has been speculation for days that ben wallace was considering leaving government and he has confirmed in an interview with the sunday times this morning that that is indeed the case and he says about the toll it has taken on his family, saying he wanted to politics in the scottish parliament in 1999, that is 24 years, that he has spent well over seven years with three phones by his bed. he is a former sodium self, subject of the commons in 2005, serving under three prime ministers. he has been in the role forfour ministers. he has been in the role for four years. ministers. he has been in the role forfouryears. he ministers. he has been in the role forfour years. he is highly rated amongst party membership. he has or has been popular with the membership, especially given his high—profile role in the ukraine war for which he has been widely praised for which he has been widely praised for a swift response to russia's

invasion. the timing is perhaps interesting. we should note that it is only recently that ben wallace acknowledges that he would not be in the running to be the next nato general secretary, a role he was said to be widely keen on. but this will leave a big vacancy in government. at a very crucial time. it signals a big change in rishi sunak�*s government because the reshuffle expected in september is going to be very, very key moment when it comes to resetting rishi sunak�*s government in autumn. whoever is stepping into the shoes will have to prove they have the gravitas. rishi sunak will certainly want conservative mps to be happy with whoever is taking on this role. georgia, thank you very much. meanwhile, the business and trade secretary, kemi badenoch, has formally signed off a trade pact with 11 asian

and pacific nations — including japan and australia. the uk is the first european country to join the bloc. critics say membership of the group will boost the uk's income by less than a tenth of 1% over the next decade. the night sky above louisiana, in the united states, has been lit up — but it wasn't a belated july 4 fireworks display. this light, caught on a doorbell camera in lake charles, shows a meteor blazing across the sky. the american meteor society says it received reports of several sightings across the state. that is pretty impressive all in all. and time for us to get the latest weather. back down on earth stop with helen. what's happening? some parts of the united states as well are currently in heatwave conditions. for15 well are currently in heatwave conditions. for 15 days temperatures have been in excess of 47 degrees in parts of arizona. but here in the uk it is a rather unsettled picture. it is a pretty start across scottish

highlands this morning. this is close to the area of low pressure. we have been rather windy this weekend across the uk. for example yesterday these are the wind gusts we had, even southampton about 50 miles an hour. other darren on the peninsula in wales. mumbles towards the south coast as well. it was windy. in way born and when fleet we had gusts. still windy but in different areas. low pressures into the north sea, brisk wind fought scotland and northern ireland, not as many isobars across england and wales, but still blustery. especially when the showers come along. but on the whole there will be fewer. customers across northern england and wales this morning, certainly close to low pressure over scotland, the north and west getting quite frequent showers, heavy at times, certainly mumbles of thunder in there. further south more sunshine between the showers. some

areas may escape. one or two areas may see their fair share as the showers lineup. there are gusty winds around. for the nsw men's far north today, some showers. butjust a smidge today, because it would be cool in the north. the wind is coming from the north—west, down from the arctic. that is bringing in showers across scotland with longest spells of rain. elsewhere the showers become fewer comedy dry, clear spells lengthier. it could be fresh tomorrow morning with some rural areas getting into single figures. a cool bright start to monday and some showers around as you can see. low pressure dragging away, a little ridge of high pressure promising some drier weatherfor many or pressure promising some drier weather for many or not as many showers, some places escaping altogether with the sunshine. tempers were lifted into the low 20s. winds will be larger as well. i

think it will feel pleasant and quite warm tomorrow with some escaping the showers, but still cool with the north—westerly across scotland. but the drier window of weather will not likely last. the next area of low pressure will come in. not as intense as this weekend. the winds would be as strong. but still the potential for wet weather. we have already had more than our averagejuly rental across the uk already. good news for some, but we have more rain to come on tuesday. rachel and ben? have more rain to come on tuesday. racheland ben? == have more rain to come on tuesday. rachel and ben?— rachel and ben? -- july rainfall. thank you _ rachel and ben? -- july rainfall. thank you helen. _ rachel and ben? -- july rainfall. thank you helen. we _ rachel and ben? -- july rainfall. thank you helen. we will- rachel and ben? -- july rainfall. thank you helen. we will see i rachel and ben? -- july rainfall. | thank you helen. we will see you later. if you've done a basic first aid course you might have learned how to treat injuries like a sprained ankle or a broken collar bone — but a new course aimed at young people in the west midlands is about helping victims of street violence. the stjohn ambulance course, called first responders, is focused on injuries like stab wounds, acid burns, and the effects of drugs and alcohol. tracey higgins went to find out more.

eight men's titles. novak djokovic must face the future. carlos alcaraz is 20 and won last year's us open. since 2019 has charged through the rankings to world number one. unbelievable finish! this year he is the top seed, but for alcaraz, this is his first wimbledon final, and it will be his greatest test. playing a final here in wimbledon is something that i dream about when i started playing tennis. as i said before, it is even better playing against novak. for novak, it's one more day, one more moment, but for me, it's going to be the best moment of my life, i think. this is probably the best finals that we could have. i think it is going to be a great challenge, the greatest challenge i could probably have at the moment. he can do pretty much anything on the court. i consider myself also

a very complete player. you know, still, he is in great shape, and motivated and young — he's hungry. i'm hungry, too, so let's have a feast. laughter if this is the main course, the appetiser came last month, when these players met in the french open semifinals and at one set all, alcaraz got a cramp. djokovic won the match and then his 23rd grand slam. now the spaniard must stretch the champion for what could be five brutal sets. it's going to be different for me. i hope to not get cramp during the final but i think i'll be better on sunday. we had a very good match until he started struggling physically in paris. i think we really took the level of tennis to — very high, and i think it was great for the audience and great for us players to be part of that. cheering and applause djokovic keeps pushing at age 36. he could win it here for the fifth time in a row.

that, too, would be a joint record. but alcaraz is the man best equipped to stop him. this is the final where a challenger with promise meets a champion who's relentless. joe lynskey, bbc news. djokovic going for a fifth straight title while marketa vondrousova is the seventh different winner of the women's singles but it's as the first unseeded player to win the women's singles title at wimbledon that she'll be remembered. that and the tattoos. the czech 24—year—old won the final in straight sets, beating the tunisian sixth seed ons jabeur who has now lost all three major finals she has played in and was in tears at the end. but vondrousova seemed to be taking it all in her stride. i think you just have to believe in yourself. i was trying not to think about the title. —— i think i wasjust open—minded, i didn't have much stress till today.

and yeah, i think you just have to believe in yourself and i was just trying not to think much about the title and everything, and yeah, i think you just have to stay, like, you know, focused and in your head and just have the small circle around you and do the same things as you always do, and yeah, ifeel like anything can happen and this is amazing. 50 centre court provided an unseeded winner and a british one, as well — neal skupski and dutch partner wesley koolhof saying it had been their dream to win a grand slam after the pair claimed the men's doubles title. they were the top seeds and beat marcel granollers and horacio zeballos in straight sets. skupski has won the mixed title for the last two years, but he's the first british player to have won both the mens and mixed doubles at wimbledon for nearly a century. starting off a young boy in palmerston tennis club in liverpool... cheering and applause. ..yeah, going out there as a small boy with my dad and then obviously growing up with my brother. he's been very influential in my career growing up. but yeah, i mean, this feeling at the moment doesn't get better. and how about a doubles victory with both players

being british? alfie hewett and gordon reid won the wheelchair doubles title for a fifth time. they came from a set down to beat japanese pair tokito oda and takuya miki on court one. hewett has won all the grand slams doubles and singles — except for one, the wimbledon individual title, but he can put that right today in the final against oda. on match point, i think we were both tearing up a little bit because the atmosphere was electric. my first wimbledon was in 2008, out on court 53 or something... laughter ..and in front of three men and his dog and my mum and my sister, so, you know, if you told me then that we'd be on court number one in front of a nearly full stadium with a crowd going absolute berserk... cheering and applause ..i would never believe it. rory mcilroy leads the way going into today's final round of the scottish open at the rennaisance club. the northern irishman is 13 under par, one shot clear of south korea's tom kim and 2 ahead of england's tommy fleetwood. tee—times have been brought forward a couple of hours

or at least it felt like it did. companies like google and openai started showing off stunning photorealistic images like these, all created by ai from short text descriptions. and then ai started having conversations with us. they were starting to generate stuff that felt human. this field of generative ai seems to have exploded so quickly. chatgpt is the single fastest—growing application in human history. and it keeps getting better. the latest version, gptll, even seems to be able to look at a picture and work out what would happen next. and just look at what the latest ai image generators can do. notjust still pictures, but remarkably good videos as well. this short film was created by one user simply by typing carefully worded text

descriptions into his phone. i think the reason many people are now paying attention to ai is that it's finally behaving like the ai we were promised in the movies — computers that we can chat to and that are doing humanlike things. and that's why it has created a really emotive response in a way that none of the ai built into the devices all around us ever managed to. and that's where the danger lies, because if it behaves like a human, it's reasonable to assume that it thinks likea human. but it doesn't. you know those predictive text functions on your phone? well, these try to guess the most likely next word in the sentence based on what you have typed so far. and in really simple terms, that is what these chatbots are doing. they've read millions and billions of sentences online, and they've learned what a good sentence looks like — that's why they sound so human, the sentence

structure is really good. but there is no guarantee that they will get the facts right — because they don't understand what they are saying. and image generators don't understand what they are drawing. for example, microsoft's bing app now uses the dall—e image generator. so i asked to draw me my initial made of liquid metal and it made this. pretty decent letter s. it then said would you like me to add some sparks to it, and i said why not, and it turned it into this. i mean... where did the s go? the reason is it doesn't know what a letter s is. it doesn't think like a human, it doesn't understand anything. but ai generators like midjourney can do wonderful —— and that's the main weakness here and why we can't trust it. if ai can create anything, then how do we know what's real? i don't think the pope ever went out dressed like this.

but if we use it wisely, there is immense possibility. it can crunch data like no human can, and never has that been more important than in healthcare, as marc cieslak has been finding out. just have a sit on the chair over there. very good. june works as a healthcare assistant. she knows how important breast cancer screening is. i see you've had previous surgery before? yeah, that's clear. today, june is having a low level x—ray, or mammogram, performed. it's part of a local breast—screening programme called gemini. so we are running this ai as well to see whether it is able to pick up cancers as well as humans can, you we see these little white dots that the ai is slightly suspicious. we would want to do a biopsy on that, recommend it, especially because you have had a previous history of it.

here at aberdeen royal infirmary, june's scan has been reviewed by ai software as well as human clinicians. dr gerald lipp demonstrates the process using anonymised scans. so what we are seeing now, we have a lady who has mammograms on her left side and right side, you are looking for differences. there is a lesion in the left breast here, and of course this is something you would expect a human being — you can just tell there is something different in the pictures there, and if you click on this ai button, it circles some areas to check. but the main area of most concern is this area circled here, where the cancer is on the left side. in screening, you want to pick up things that are small before they become big. programmes like this one identify breast cancer in roughly 6 in 1000 women. radiologists, known as readers, examine patient scans for signs of cancer. on average, these human readers scrutinise 5,000 mammograms a year. 250—300 patients will be called

back, and 30—1l0 of those will require closer attention. and there is a chance that with that number you could miss cancers. within the rules that the national screening council have given us, we are not allowed to use the ai automatically as part of the process as yet, so we are using the ai as an extra check at the end of our reading process. in 2016, a private company, kheiron medical technologies, began training an ai model called nia using hundreds of thousands of medical scans. itsjob — to identify breast cancer. until now, this ai has been intended as an assistive tool for use by two human radiologists. it's become the foundation of the technology being used in aberdeen. i think the goal of this evaluation is to see what's the best way we can work with al, where there is replacing one of the radiologists, where there is part reading

some of the normal mammograms, or where there is to improve our cancer detection as a safety net. this project is a collaboration between the nhs, the university screening programmes are crucial for improving patient outcomes. for now, medical staff are still the first line of defence in protecting against breast cancer, but ai is likely to play a significant role in future life—saving efforts. that was marc showing us how ai in healthcare can be really useful. but on the flipside, when it comes to ai being used to generate things like art, it can be problematic. yeah, one of the big issues being copyright. i mean, who should own the images that al creates? it's something that ben derico has been investigating. ai art has taken a massive leap recently. i mean this one sold for over $1l00,000 at auction at christie's in 2018. with image generators like dall—e and stable diffusion, almost anyone can create a new art in a matter of seconds. but the models that makes this

art don'tjust do it out of thin air. they've learned to mimic styles, even specific artists, through a process called training — where the models ingest millions, sometimes billions of images, scraped from websites all around the web. combined with text describing the images, they now have a data set that lets them create almost any type of image from a simple text prompt. it produces some interesting stuff, but the problem is many artists never gave their consent for their art to be used in an image generator like this. so what should artists do? so we have seen art theft before. but we have never seen it at this level. this is karla ortiz, she's a concept artist in san francisco. a concept artist is a person who provides the first initial visuals to what something could be in a movie. she's designed art for magic: the gathering, and even in marvel�*s doctor strange movies. last year, she discovered her art had been scraped into an ai

image data set. especially my fine art work, and that to me felt really invasive, because i had never given anyone my permission to do that. 0n midjourney, another popular generator, it's incredibly easy to find posts using karla's name to generate work that looks incredibly similar to hers, and the same is true for dozens of other artists online. but what if she could still show her work online and keep it from being used to help generate new ai art? this is professor ben zhao, from the university of chicago. he and his lab say they have developed a solution. they call it glaze. at its core, glaze uses the fact that there is this ginormous gap, difference between the way humans see visual images and how machine learning models see visual images. because we see things differently, glaze can make changes that are almost imperceptible to the human eye, but that dramatically alter how a machine sees it. so, if you are an artist, you glaze your art, post

it online, you can rest comfortable in knowing that a model that's trying to steal your stuff from that piece will learn a very different style that is incorrect, and when it is trying to mimic you it willjust fail, and halt these attacks early. as you can see, the ai artwork generated from a piece with glaze is similar in content but not really in style. to learn more, we asked the team to show us the promise of glaze is exciting for artists, but critics say the ai art generators are taking inspiration the same way a human does — by studying other pieces and learning from them. crucially, they say, these aren't copies. that's led the companies being sued to ask for the case against them to be dismissed. karla says, though, that's not a good comparison. i don't see one image, let alone billions of imagery, and instantly like archive it in my mind, and then i'm able to generate exact copies, or similar copies in the blink of an eye. some artists have said they'd be willing

to use their work with al image generators, but they say the process should be opt in, not opt out. when peoplejump in on these and say, "oh, this is, wow!", they need to recognise that it is "wow" because of the work that is taken, and all of that work was taken without their consent to use, to train these models so that they can generate that stuff that makes people go, "wow". ai art is likely here to stay — so pressure from regulators, input from artists and an informed public will be crucial to make sure these revolutionary tools are built alongside the people who helped make them possible. that is it for the shortcut of this week 's click. there is plenty more information in the full—length version waiting for you when i player. version waiting for you when i -la er. ., «a version waiting for you when i .la er. . ., version waiting for you when i -la er. . ., . player. thanks for watching. we will be back next — player. thanks for watching. we will be back next week. _

good morning welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben boulos. 0ur headlines today: a dramatic final weekend at wimbledon as marketa vondrousova becomes the first unseeded player to win the women's singles title. never mind first, novak djokovic wants wimbledon title number eight! just one of many records the defending champion could equal or break in this afternoon's final, but standing in his way is the world number one carlos alcaraz also this morning, warnings of dangerous heat for hundreds of millions acorss southern europe and the united states. the defence secretary, ben wallace, announces he's stepping down from government and says he will leave parliament at the next election. more than a stroll in the country — how ian flatt, who has motor neurone disease, is on 100—mile fundraising trek acorss yorkshire.

good morning. it will be another day of blustery showers and one or two quite lively downpours, but hopefully, on balance, fewer than we had yesterday. more details coming up. it's sunday, i6thjuly. our main story this morning is the dramatic end to wimbledon, where novak djokovic is aiming for a record—equalling eighth men's title when he faces top seed carlos alcaraz in the final this afternoon. it follows an historic day at the all england club, when marketa vondrousava became the first unseeded player to win the women's single's title. she beat the favourite 0ns jabeur in straight sets, as our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. unseeded, unstoppable and almost unbelievable. marketa vondrousova came here a rank outsider. she's leaving as the champion. she emerged to face tunisia's 0ns jabeur knowing the pressure was on her opponent. no african or arab woman had ever

won a major singles title, and jabeur had history in her sights. commentator: there's another line. but vondrousova had her own motivation. a career blighted by injury, she came to wimbledon last year as a fan with her wrist in plaster. commentator: oh, what skill! and suddenly she was inspired. after trailing 14—2, the czech charged to the first set. jabeur�*s early confidence had turned to nerves. she is a huge fan favorite here, though, and briefly she responded. roared on by the crowd, the comeback seemed on. but, once again, vondrousova reeled her in and history was hers. the first unseeded player to win the women's title here.

her husband, stepan, onlyjust made the final because he'd been looking after their cat. after receiving the trophy from the princess of wales, how would she celebrate? with a new tattoo. i made a bet with my coach. he said if i win a grand slam, he's going to get one also. so i think... laughter. i love you guys. you know, my little sister, she's crying out there, so... but despite a little royal consolation, the greatest tears were jabeur�*s. following her defeat in last year's final, this was almost too much to take. i think this is the most painful loss of my career, so... applause. i'm not going to give up and i'm going to come back stronger and win a grand slam. but for the champion, it was the stuff of dreams.

well, wimbledon has seen some surprise winners over the years, but not many as surprising as this. marketa vondrousova has pulled off one of sport's most remarkable triumphs. there was also some british success to celebrate. neal skupski, who's twice won the mixed doubles here, won the men's doubles with his dutch partner, wesley koolhof. while in the wheelchair doubles, there was delight for alfie hewett and gordon reid — theirfifth wimbledon title together. hewett is also through to the singles final later on. but for sheer shock value, the day belonged to marketa vondrousova, the seventh different women's champion here in a row, but even this unpredictable event has never seen an unlikely a winner. andy swiss, bbc news, wimbledon. the men's final starts at 2.00pm today. hugh will have all the details

on that and the rest of today's sport shortly. record temperatures are expected in parts of the us today as much of southern and central europe continues to experience an intense heatwave. officials on both sides of the atlantic are warning that the heat is posing serious health risks and causing wildfires. 0ur correspondent joe inwood has more. 4,000 people forced to flee their homes in the spanish canary islands. red alerts in 16 italian cities. greek guardsmen struggling to stay standing. turkey braced for record temperatures. much of the mediterranean remains in the grip of a fierce heatwave. last week's was named cerberus after the mythological three—headed dog that guarded the gates of the underworld.

the coming one has been dubbed chiron, after the ferryman who transported souls there. in venice, the tourists have still come, but are enduring almost unbearable temperatures every day. the heat is really harmful for us because the temperature in the gondola reaches 50 degrees. we've already tried to measure it. in fact, i'm one of the few who use a cover so as not to feel the heat from the gondola that goes up your legs and goes through your feet. it really burns. a shifting gulf stream is drawing hot air from north africa into europe and also causing near—record temperatures across north america. wildfires have been raging for months in parts of canada, where more than ten million hectares of forest have been destroyed injust six months. while in the us, more than a third of the population are now living under extreme heat advisories. it's not only affecting the land.

water temperatures in the ocean around florida are off the charts. they are in the 90s, very warm. and it's not only in florida, something like 40% of the planet is seeing a marine heatwave right now. that's very serious for the animals that live in the ocean. man—made climate change is widely accepted to be behind events that are only going to get more frequent. having a heatwave in the summer isn't unheard of, but what's really becoming unusual is the collection of these events, so the frequency and also the simultaneous occurrence around the globe. so unfortunately, this is not surprising, what we're seeing. it's exactly what we expect from shifting the baseline temperature towards a higher level and therefore shifting the odds towards more extreme heat events. in the coming days, sardinia could hit 48 celsius, just shy of the hottest ever temperature recorded in europe. that was set in sicily last year. the way things are going,

it is a record that will not last for long. joe inwood, bbc news. let's get more detail on how this heatwave is affecting mainland europe. 0ur reporter guy hedgecoe is in madrid. guy, what's the situation there? well, it is pretty hot. it is going to hit the mid 30s herejust outside madrid where i am at the moment. that is a little bit cooler than what we have been seeing in recent days, but these hot, dry conditions are increasing the risk of wildfires and on las palmas there has been a wildfire burning throughout this weekend, it is already burnt a500 hectares, a,000 people had been evacuated from their homes there and firefighters are still battling that blaze. in italy, 16 cities are on red alert this weekend because of

the heat. in greece the acropolis has been temporarily closed down during the hottest time of the day because of concerns about the impact of the heat on people? health there. it is the next couple of days that people are looking at nervously. that new heatwave we have been hearing about is expected to hit southern and central europe. with southern and central europe. with southern italy expected to be the epicentre. as we heard there, temperatures in parts of southern italy could surpass the mid a0s, and possibly hit new records. italy could surpass the mid aos, and possibly hit new records.— italy could surpass the mid 40s, and possibly hit new records.— possibly hit new records. thank you very much- — emergency workers in south korea are struggling to reach around 15 cars trapped in a flooded tunnel. so far, nine bodies have been recovered from the tunnel in cheong—ju, around 70 miles south of seoul.

flooding across south korea, caused by days of heavy rain, has so far killed least 33 people. police have launched a murder investigation after a 17—year—old boy was stabbed to death in north—west london following a birthday party. officers were called to reports of a fight in kilburn on friday. another teenage boy and a women in her 20s received hospital treatment, but were discharged. the defence secretary, ben wallace, has said he will leave government at the next reshuffle and won't stand as an mp at the next election. our political correspondent georgia robertsjoins us now. georgia, why has ben wallace taken this decision and how significant is it? this is a significant departure from government. ben wallace, the longest serving defence secretary. there was speculation for days that he was thinking about leaving government and we have confirmation from the sunday times interview this morning

where he talks about the toll it has taken on his family, and how long he has been in politics. he said for the last seven years he has been sleeping with three phones by his bed. then wallace is the longest serving conservative defence secretary, he has been imposed for four years now. we think the next reshuffle will be in the autumn. it is at a crucial time given the war in ukraine. there will be a lot of eyes and who takes this job next. ben wallace has been widely praised for a swift response to the war in ukraine, for example when it came to supplying ukraine with lethal aid at the beginning of the war. he is also popular with the party membership. rishi sunak will want someone to come in can command respect across the party. lots of ice will be on

the party. lots of ice will be on the ministry of defence and whoever comes into this role will have to take on lots of criticism from the party about procurement. there's been lots of talking about a broken system when it comes to procuring tanks and ships.— thank you. the business and trade secretary, kemi badenoch, has formally signed—off a trade pact with 11 asian and pacific nations, including japan and australia. the uk is the first european country to join the block. critics say membership of the group will boost the uk's income by less than a tenth of i% over the next decade. the night sky above louisiana, in the united states, has been lit up, but it wasn't a belated fourth ofjuly fireworks display. this light, caught on a doorbell camera, in lake charles shows a meteor blazing across the sky. the american meteor society says it received reports of several sightings across the state.

she here's helen with a look at the weather. will continue unsettled here in the uk, but across southern europe feature of the temperatures yesterday. the heat stretch right the way up into germany, 39 celsius here, aa in turkey. numerous red warnings out as we have heard from your correspondence. for the next few days that heat starts to get back just a few days that heat starts to get backjust a little bit across eastern europe. it stays really intense across italy. that heat is building across siberia and pushing back up into southern france and pushing eastwards. we have another wave of this intense heat to come over the coming week. its persistence by day and night that is a real concern. here we have low pressure again. it has been

unusually windy. it will be windier in different areas today. lots of showers across northern ireland. showers further south, but a gradual improvement, fewer showers than we had yesterday, and fewer as you go through the day. still the odd sharp downpour. the showers will still be moving in further north on the strong and gusty winds. yesterday the cuts were about 50 miles an hour in the south, so less here, but brazier in scotland and northern ireland. it is a north—westerly, so it will feel cooler. heavier and more persistent outbreaks of rain in the north of scotland. they will continue on through this evening and overnight. elsewhere, lengthy spells of drier weather. the wind is starting to ease away. it will feel fresher come tomorrow morning. quite a bright and fresh start for many of

us, a promising start to the day tomorrow. without low pressure comes tomorrow. without low pressure comes to scotland it will throw in a lot of here. this is the high pressure just trying to nudge in a little bit to deplete the showers compared to the weekend. lighter winds, fewer showers, more sunshine. not altogether dry but it should feel quite pleasant tomorrow. a window of quieter weather. quite pleasant tomorrow. a window of quieterweather. but quite pleasant tomorrow. a window of quieter weather. but already behind me we havejuicy quieter weather. but already behind me we have juicy deep as migraine starting to knock on the door of ireland. three tuesday we get the next low pressure moving in. it doesn't look as potent as this weekend, but it will bring more rain. bear in mind that all parts of the uk have had over their average rainfall this july. the uk have had over their average rainfall thisjuly. a rather wet day for tuesday. showers in the north, largely dry in the south and east. this unsettled picture is set to continue for much of the coming week.

a barge which will house up to 500 migrants off the dorset coast could arrive at portland port within days — and some businesses in the area say they've already suffered as a result of the plan. protests against the barge prompted a cruise ship to cancel a planned stop in weymouth, costing the local economy an estimated £a00,000. james ingham has been talking to some of those affected. weymouth's summer season is in full swing, the town is busy. but it gets even busier when cruise ships pay a visit, docking in nearby portland port. the port are mooting that cruise ship passengers bring about £a00,000 into the economy on a trip, and i would advocate that's probably about right because of the amount of fish and chips that they buy and the gifts they buy and the things they want to take back to where ever they've come from, in order to take a little bit of england, britain, bring back with them really.

but instead of cruise passengers it was protesters who came to town, here to show their opposition to controversial plans to house asylum seekers on a giant barge in the port. that prompted a cruise company to cancel a planned stop because of safety concerns. a decision which had a big impact on the local economy. we did notice a difference in footfall. for us, it's really important and it's notjust about them coming in — and obviously they spend their money — but it's just the vibrancy they bring to the town. they absolutely love it, everywhere's booming and the businesses are all doing well. some of the 3,600 passengers on board the cruise ship would have gone on excursions to nearby attractions. bluebird coaches had four vehicles booked for trips. with protesters adamant they'll be back, this family—run firm is worried that more cruise ships may give portland a miss.

we've got cruise ships booked right through to october and we are worried going forward if more cruise liners do cancel and we may have already turned work down because, in our eyes, we were fully booked in those dates because the cruise liners were due to come in. hey, lorna! looking really busy? yes, just tidying up the shelves, refilling, lots of local dorset produce. lorna is another who relies on the cruise trade, she's against the barge but is also worried about the protesters. they're affecting now people that they probably do not mean to affect. so the locals that require the money that we get from these cruise ships to survive. and to make it from one season to the next. you guys are right, it shouldn't be here but you need to take it to government. they are the people who are responsible for this, not the port, not to the locals. the barge may arrive in portland within days — and 500 men moved in soon after.

that's likely to lead to more protests and more concern from businesses nearby. james ingham, bbc news, weymouth. we'rejoined now by tim naor hilton, chief executive of refugee action, along with lynne hubbard from stand up to racism dorset. cani can ijust can i just be can ijust be clear on your position? it is not that you don't believe the migrant should be housed and have an opportunity to hear their case in this country, but you don't think they should be on this barge in this particular location? we don't think they should be on any barge in any part of the country. departure is designed for 220 people. there will be 500 people on this barge and it is possible that to or three adults will be sharing

space the size of a car park space. some of those people will have had extremely traumatic journeys across the sea. we have seen the recent loss of life in the mediterranean. to put them on a floating barge in the sea really seems cruel and inhumane. the sea really seems cruel and inhumane-— the sea really seems cruel and inhumane. ~ ., i. .., inhumane. would you welcome them in alternative accommodation _ inhumane. would you welcome them in alternative accommodation in _ inhumane. would you welcome them in alternative accommodation in the - alternative accommodation in the portland area?— portland area? yes, i think it's riaht portland area? yes, i think it's right that _ portland area? yes, i think it's right that every _ portland area? yes, i think it's right that every area _ portland area? yes, i think it's right that every area takes - portland area? yes, i think it's right that every area takes the | right that every area takes the chair of refugees. dorset and portland is a very hospitable place and we look at how ukrainians have been treated in this country. 165,000 ukrainians came to the uk and were welcomed. refugees escaping war and persecution have the right to apply for asylum in any part of europe, including the uk. let’s to apply for asylum in any part of europe, including the uk. let's 'ust brina in

you seen inside the barge? we have not. the reason i ask is that the ukrainian families have been housed in a large ship off the coast in edinburgh, just outside edinburgh, and the feedback from that was actually pretty positive from the experience that many people had there, to the point that many didn't want to leave when it was time to move them into different accommodation. i know there have been criticisms of the kind of objection to your putting forward that this is really a form of not in my back yard. how would you respond to that? i my back yard. how would you respond to that? :, �* ~' , my back yard. how would you respond to that? :, �* ~ , ., ., to that? i don't think it is that at all. i completely _ to that? i don't think it is that at all. i completely reject - to that? i don't think it is that at all. i completely reject that. - to that? l don't think it is that atj all. i completely reject that. you may be aware we have been inundated with people in portsmouth and weymouth offering support for refugees in the form of english, take a deep long walks, organising football teams, opening up community centres. i suspect that this barge

is very different to the ship in scotland, of which i don't have very much information. people are not going to be free on this barge. the portland port is a controlled area. they will have to wait for a shuttle bus to take them through the port, they will have two micro objects before they can leave the port. their movements will be highly controlled and, as i say, i don't know the size of the space of the ship in scotland, but it will be tiny important. this was designed for people who were in very short term stays on things like oil platforms, not for long term accommodation. this will be here for 18 months. that is the plan. this isn't some sort of six—week stay. this will be highly unpleasant for people. this will be highly unpleasant for --eole. :, ~' ,, this will be highly unpleasant for --eole. :, ~' , this will be highly unpleasant for --eole. :, ~ , . this will be highly unpleasant for ..eole. ., ~' , . :, people. thank you very much for your time, people. thank you very much for your time. and. — people. thank you very much for your

i get that sense of adventure the minute i start thinking about it and planning it and looking at the routes, ijust get — i should do this every day just for the sake of it. with the help of friends and his tangerine dream machine, ian is trekking 100 miles across the yorkshire dales in ten days. the team is raising money for the mnd association and the new rob burrow mnd centre. ian's journey has taken him through nidderdale, wensleydale, swaledale and to the shoulder of pen—y—ghent — one of yorkshire's famous three peaks. i brought them for a day out. and i think i'm in the chair for the ice creams. and the camaraderie and the spirit of helpfulness and kindness that we all have, which is beautiful. they get a fabulous day out and you've seen already, they help me over the obstacles and make everything easy for me. it's been 1a months since ijoined ian and his team climbing snowdon and since then he's completed

the inaugural rob burrow marathon. mnd progresses differently in each patient and ian is still able to control his wheelchair. carer lisa is here to make sure he's ok. mainly his breathing. he might need to use his ventilator at some point. dehydration, make sure he's eating enough. yep, mainlyjust supporting his wheelchair. there's the waterfalls there... he's our inspiration for the walk. so, yeah, he's keeping us all going, keeping us all in high spirits. - is it heavy? yeah, it didn't feel that heavy! my dad warren was diagnosed with mnd in 2016 and died in april 2018 so it's a cause very close to my heart. the teamwork's absolutely fantastic. we've got one common goal and that goal is to fire ahead _ and achieve ian's goal. ian is supported by wife, rachel, who waits nervously at the end of each walk for him to safely return. it's been an epic ten days which has seen ian battle all weathers

and all terrains but always with a smile on his face. his latest adventure finishes later today. olivia richwald, bbc news, in the yorkshire dales. just an incredible effort by eamon and his team. the prime minister, rishi sunak, is facing the loss of one of his most popular cabinet colleagues, the defence secretary ben wallace — who has said he'll stand down from front line politics at the next reshuffle, and won't stand at the next general election. he's ruled out leaving early, which would trigger a by—election. however, we do have three of those coming up on thursday. let's talk to two politicaljournalists — aletha adu from the guardian, and george parker of the financial times. the news about ben wallace come as

his ability to secure defence spending and he has the prime minister to commit to 2.5%, something he does not want to rock the boatjust know as obviously rishi sunak is facing huge pressure this week but it is not an argument that will be over any time soon before these cabinet in september. this is a man once touted as a possible leader of the conservative party and he never run for the leadership and then there was talk of him being a possible secretary general of nato, that doesn't look like it will happen. what do you think is next for him? it is strange she didn't stand _ think is next for him? it is strange she didn't stand for— think is next for him? it is strange she didn't stand for the _ think is next for him? it is strange she didn't stand for the tory - she didn't stand for the tory leadership last year because all the opinion— leadership last year because all the opinion polls showed him as one of the most _ opinion polls showed him as one of the most popular if not the most popular— the most popular if not the most popular member of the conservative front bench but he said he discussed it with _ front bench but he said he discussed it with his— front bench but he said he discussed it with his family and decided not to stand —

to make history as the first prime minister to lose three seats in one day. he has gone really hard and trying to win over voters and seeing he would half inflation by the end of the year. i went to uxbridge and was told by loyal conservative voters that they would be struggling to pay their children's school costs and it is a well of failure with areas of deprivation and when it comes to uxbridge an selby they are willing to vote tactically for labour and for somerset and ——

our focus today is very much on the tennis and wimbledon. it was slightly delayed because of the weather in birmingham and wimbledon have sought to solve the problem. monday finals and the late—night finals between federer and nadal. the top two seeds at either end of their careers. the men's final is the number one carlos alcaraz against the number two novak djokovic. but that's the only number alcaraz has in his favour. djokovic is the favourite partly because of the sheer statistical weight he brings. it would be a fifth wimbledon title in a row, it would equal roger federer�*s record of eight titles there and provide a 2ath overall. only one player has done that in grand slam singles. judging by the performances that we have seen from all the players,

i think this is probably the best finalists we could have, he is one of the quickest guys on the tour and can do pretty much anything on the court. we are both in good form and playing well, we are both wanting to take this title. i look forward to it, it is going to. going to be a great novak... one more day, one more moment, he has no weakness. he is a really complete player. he does nothing wrong on the court. playing a final hearing wimbledon is something that i dream about when i started playing tennis. for me, it is going to be

the best moment of my life i think. djokovic going for a fifth straight title while marketa von—drousova is the seventh different winner of the women's singles but it's as the first unseeded player to win the women's singles title at wimbledon that she'll be remembered. the czech 2a—year—old won the final in straight sets... beating the tunisian sixth seed ons jabeur... who has now lost all three major finals in which she's played. vondrousova says she's going to get another tattoo... and that her coach promised to get his first if she won. so centre court provided an unseeded winner and a britisih one too with neil skupski and dutch partner wesley koolhofs saying it had been their dream to win a grand slam after the pair claimed the men's doubles title.

they were the top seeds and beat marcel granollers and horacio zeballos in straight sets. skupski has won the mixed title for the last two years but he's the first british player to have won both the mens and mixed doubles at wimbledon for nearly a century. and how about a doubles victory with both players being british? alfie hewett and gordon reid won the wheelchair doubles title for a fifth time. they came from a set down to beat japanese pair tokito oda and takuya miki on court one. hewett has won all the grand slams at doubles and singles. except for the wimbledon individual title... but he can put that right today in the final against oda. henry searle will try to end a 61—year wait for a british boys' singles winner at wimbledon after reaching the final. the 17—year—old from wolverhampton beat american cooper williams in the semi yesterday. the last british boys' champion at wimbledon was stanley matthews — son and namesake of the former blackpool and england footballer — in 1962. rory mcilroy leads the way going into today's final round of the scottish open at the rennaisance club.

the northern irishman is 13 under par, one shot clear of south korea's tom kim and two ahead of england's tommy fleetwood. tee—times in north berwick have been brought forward a couple of hours with strong winds forecast. somerset won the t20 blast final last night beating essex by 1a runs at edgbaston. essex were 131—9. needing 15 from ten balls to win but daniel sams was caught brilliantly by tom kohler—cadmore to hand victory and a second t20 title to somerset. england's women will hope for a fourth successive win against australia as they look to take the lead in the ashes. they levelled the series last wednesday with victory in the first of three one—day internationals. it's been a remarkable turnaround from losing the test and the opening t20 game. the teams meet again at southampton today. i have been lucky enough to play for england for ten years now and seen where it has come from, this summer it feels like such a huge way to go, but it is such an amazing thing to see and to be part of it, i feel really proud and i get a little emotional because we all started off playing a sport that we love and wanted to play because we loved it.

and now to see that many people, to watch, still playing the sport that i love is amazing. the men are hoping to complete a comeback at old trafford this week and the women have already done it. for the full list of candidates standing in the upcoming by—elections, please visit the bbc news website. the dangers of concussion in many sports has become more widely understood and accepted in recent years — including rugby league. the former st helens and hull kr player lachlan coote brought forward his retirement after suffering five concussions in the last two years. as he explained to our reporter matt dean, it was an emotional moment. the hardest thing was going to the boys and telling them

that i'm done. they�* re. . . you know, they're like family. you're with them every day. so that was hard. commentator: he's got it! after a 15—year playing career in which he won all silverware that mattered, lachlan coote was told in no uncertain terms of the risks of carrying on. what was it like, lachlan, when you were told that it was the end of your career? you going to make me emotional now. it was hard. i had my wife sitting next to me and the specialist obviously sitting next to me saying that, mate, this should be it. you know, you should not take the field again. my wife was very supportive around it. i understood her concerns. i realised that she, you know,

wants me to be100% 20 years down the track and so do i, really, for the kids, as well. so i understood the concerns around and that weighs on you as well. i started to notice things, waking up the next day, like, forgetting things and all that kind of stuff. that's every day. like, people forget things and stuff like that, but i was having it more often than normal, ifelt. how frightening was that? yeah, very. they could see signs of damage, knowing that there was signs of bleeding and and stuff like that. that also obviously played a massive part. after announcing his retirement last month, lachlan's now former teammates formed a guard of honour for him at craven park, proof of the high regard that he's still held in as he comes to terms with his decision. do you think it's inevitable the sport will change because of concussion? there's going to be some sort of change, i think.

definitely. and i think there has to be and i don't know what it is or what it might be. it's a very hard one. i think that's the scary thing about the information coming out because, you know, people with their kids these days are hearing about what's going on with concussions and already sceptical about the contact sport and their kids getting injured. but in saying that, you know, they're taking all the right steps, i think, to to make sure that players are safe. and, you know, there's no repercussions from playing rugby league. commentator: and lachlan coote wgot there first. how worried are you about the future because of the knocks you've had? it is a worry what's going to happen down the track. i'm hoping i don't suffer in any way, but if it is,

then so be it. i chose to play the game and i've played it and i've loved it and enjoyed every moment of it. and i wouldn't you know, i wouldn't take anything back. matt dean, bbc news. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. this unusually deep area of low pressure weekend but friday as well. unusual dusts of up to 50 mph and it is subtly moving north—east into scotland and northern ireland with quite a rash of showers but it does not look like the thunderstorms will be as widespread as yesterday art showers as frequent. when not quite a strong across england and wales were stronger for scotland and northern ireland and coming down the northwest a chilly breeze and lots of cloud and lengthy spells of rain for the north and of scotland. barely 13 or 1a with the wind. still blustery across england and wales but are not down on yesterday. with

a bit more sunshine and fewer showers it will feel quite pleasant and warm in the sunshine and we will see a little more of it today. through the evening and overnight showers fade away across most of england, wales and northern ireland but keep going across scotland are still quite a breeze but generally easing away so a cooler and fresher night for many and therefore a brighter and fresher start to monday morning. it looks as if we might have a window of drier weather tomorrow for many with the ridge of high pressure coming in but i can't promise it will be dry everywhere and there will still be showers through the day on monday, just generally lighter winds and more sunshine and fewer and lighter showers so a fairly decent summer day but that is more rain on away for this week and in places it is really much needed rainfall as well.

backin back in school days we were all taught what different animal noises there are. there are lots of animal sounds we're all familiar with — the song of the lark, a cat's miaow, the thundering of a horse's hooves. but i'll bet you don't know what a worm sounds like. well, we're about to find out because researchers at the university of warwick have been sticking microphones in the ground and recording them as part of a project to improve our understanding of soil quality. david gregory—kumar went for a listen. join me in this warwickshire field to listen to the familiar sounds of the countryside. i can hear birdsong and i think that's a farm vehicle in the distance and, yes, the wind, as well, but there's another sound the countryside makes, and that's the noise made by everything living in the soil underneath my feet.

static sound. this is the sound an earthworm makes as it moves through the ground. researchers from the university of warwick and beaker consultants want to listen to those sounds to understand how healthy our soil is. is it as simple in some ways as if the soil is quiet? there's not a lot going on there, and the noisier it is, the better. that's what we think so far. that's what our early results are showing. obviously, things move through the soil and they make crunching noises and crunching noises, and that shows that there's something alive in there. and if there's not much noise, there's not much movement. time for an experiment, then. i've got my headphones on and i'm listening to the noises coming from a pot of soil. so should we try and put some worms in, then? let's see if i can hear anything.

static sound. that's extraordinary. and there you hear it. it's tiny little what you'd expect an earthworm to sound like because it's dragging itself across silty soil. the aim now is to gather more data and improve the technology further. we are going out to literally tens of thousands of hectares of land to build up a database of soil sound and use that database to to compare to any data that we new data that we get through. and that means anyone can listen to their soil, run it through a computer, and find outjust how healthy it is. and that's a lot easier than the traditional method. dig holes, hand—sort the soil and look for the worms. and you can imagine that takes many hours to to do. in fact, farmers say it takes maybe three hours to dig five pits. and this technique is fantastic

because you can pop the probe in here, the soil and and work your way around much faster. the secret sounds of the soil have a lot to tell us. david gregory—kumar, bbc news. his majesty's coastguard is called to around 36,000 incidents every year, with teams working in all conditions to save lives at sea. now some of that work has been captured on film for a new documentary series on channel five's cameras. let's take a watch. clear the door. 0k, we're well high. there's not threat, but there's those people on the golf course. roger. 8936 [and on the beaten track and clear in an area 500 miles. a5 minutes.

heading up the waterline. yeah, that's fine. so you go two walkers three, four, five, six workers and another but there are 100 units, so to say. yeah, obviously. obviously you got aooo people. high ground to the right, wall to the left. good position.

spain in a pool they are brilliant but don't take them to the course. conditions can change so quickly and there is a lot going on underneath what you do not see on the surface. when you see the unsettled weather we have had over the last couple of days especially in wales it has a massive impact but if they are going on the c check the tides and weather and if you do not know what the tide charts mean seek out professional instruction before you go paddle boarding or sea kayaking. it is such an important _ boarding or sea kayaking. it is such an important job — boarding or sea kayaking. it is such an important job you _ boarding or sea kayaking. it is such an important job you and _ boarding or sea kayaking. it is such an important job you and your - an importantjob you and your colleagues too. what she to becoming part of the coastguard service? —— what drew you? the part of the coastguard service? -- what drew you?— part of the coastguard service? -- what drew you? the guys i work with an exceptionally _ what drew you? the guys i work with an exceptionally dedicated _ what drew you? the guys i work with an exceptionally dedicated and - an exceptionally dedicated and committed and know when they turn up to work the likelihood is that they will be involved in saving someone's life and doing that day in and day out so they will be working as we speak and doing remarkable work to
