as european champions there is a weight of expectation on their shoulders. so the return of their captain millie bright to full fitness is a welcome sight. she's fit, she's going to play. we will see how long that will be, but she has done everything we wanted her to do to get ready for this game. she came out of the things good too. so we are very happy, she's very happy, the team's very happy, so let's get started. we love you england, we do! england are one of the main attractions of this tournament. theirfans in brisbane have come from near and far. and they're expecting big things from the lionesses. i think they can win, i really do. and i don't normally say that. i'm like a really pessimistic england fan. but i saw them train last week at the sunshine coast and they look really good. obviously they won the euros, so why not? there is a big british population over here, and we want to make sure that we are supporting them as best we can. we do the cricket, we do

the men's sport, so i'm here today with the ladies. the girls will bringl it home, definitely. all the way. you're that confident? yeah, absolutely confident. we're going to have a super tournament and we're - going to have lots of fun, but also, _ they're going to win it. england are here in brisbane as one of the favourites to win the world cup, but there are questions circling sarina wiegman�*s side. she's without key players through injury and her team have not scored in the last three matches. they will be expected to put that right against haiti. for a country in a state of turmoil, haiti's first world cup offers a rare moment of celebration. this is a team with talent. still, england are heavy favourites to win, and win comfortably. it's a game we're excited for. it's exciting to play a team you've never played and, you know, see what they bring to the game. it's definitely not an opponent to take lightly, so, yeah, we are definitely switched on and ready for this one. as england get ready to write a new chapter in their history, the message from the fans couldn't be clearer. katie gornall, bbc news, brisbane.

graphic descriptions of baby loss in?tulip mazumdar 5 report, which some viewers may find upsetting. rachel has been documenting her pregnancy journey on tiktok. she suffered four miscarriages. her second was particularly traumatic. it was, unfortunately, i believe, over a weekend period. and so, the advice i was really kind of given was, it seems like you're having another miscarriage, have plenty of bed rest, and take some pain relief if needed, and kind ofjust wait it out. at one point i went to the bathroom, and as i went and pulled down my underwear, my baby fully intact in its sac with a tiny little placenta, which was literally no bigger than a £2 coin, fell and sat into my underwear. rachel's is sadly not an uncommon story, which is why the review

is calling for a miscarriage helpline and 2a hour access to specialist early pregnancy units, developing a container to store the baby's remains if a loss happens at home, and support and advice offered after one miscarriage instead of three. 250,000 women a year experience a miscarriage. in a lot of cases, we can't prevent a miscarriage. but what we can do is try and make that process that women and their partners are going through less traumatic in order to limit the ongoing effects. another key recommendation in this review is to start offering certificates to parents whose babies die before 2a weeks. at the moment, some families are given little notes, like this one. but from october, the plan is to offer them an official government document to acknowledge their loss. i want to see people stopping having to hit google to find out what care should i be receiving? where should i be going for support?

this support should be easily available to every single person, and it should be offered to every person who is suffering. it's notjust the mother who's carrying the child. it needs to be also offered to their partner. the government says it's looking into all 70 recommendations and starting to take action on some of them. a year since her last miscarriage, rachel is now mum to baby thomas. i would love to tell him about the siblings he could have had. i want to educate him that pregnancy and creating life and children isn't as simple as getting that positive pregnancy test. and it's why i created my tiktok account, to support and make people aware of what can happen and make them not feel alone. tulip mazumdar, bbc news. we are going to talk more about that

after eight o'clock this morning, including with one of the co—authors of the report. thousands of rail workers are on strike again today, in their row over pay and conditions. passengers are being warned to check before they travel, as the getaway for the school summer holiday is likely to be disrupted by cancelled services. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. as the school summer holidays get going for millions of people in england and wales, in many places, the trains have come to a halt. today is the latest strike by members of the rmt at ia train companies, and it's the last day of the current overtime ban by train drivers in the aslef union. the level of disruption will vary around the country. many services will end for the day much earlier than usual. another strike is expected next saturday. the rmt at the moment seems to be concentrating its strikes more at weekends, so the aim is to effect leisure travel. so today's strike on a saturday and next weekends again will have a big impact on people who are thinking of taking days out, and there'll be a real

skeleton service operating. the drivers' union, aslef, its work to rule, where drivers are refusing to work overtime, is having a longer impact. it's seeing a few services withdrawn by a lot of companies every day. these strikes are happening after progress in the national dispute stalled in april. the rmt says plans to close hundreds of ticket offices have now added to its members anger. separately, strikes on the london underground, which were scheduled to begin tomorrow, have been called off. the summer getaway is traditionally a busy time on the roads, and the train strike could add to congestion as more people take to their cars instead. the travel association abta thinks over two million british holiday—makers will head overseas this weekend. the port of dover will be under scrutiny again, after long delays before easter and last summer. the port says it's made changes to ease the queues, but there could still be waits of up to two and a half hours at border controls. after last year's disruption, because of staff shortages, airports and airlines insist they've done as much as possible

to ensure things go smoothly, although worries persist about congested european airspace and air traffic control issues. the coming days will be a test at what's expected to be their busiest time since before the pandemic. katy austin, bbc news. tens of millions pounds was saved last year by bank and building societies refusing to carry out transactions they suspected to be fraud. figures seen by radio 4's money box programme show staff used what's called the banking protocol, which allows them to question customers and stop suspicious transfers more than 11,000 times last year. from monday, children aged ten and ii will be able to use passport e—gates at the uk border. currently, 12 is the minimum age for using e—gates. the change follows successful trials at airports in london. scientists say they're concerned by the recent run of broken climate records, saying the speed and timing of them is unprecedented.

work is taking place to establish the link to climate change, but scientists already fear some worst—case scenarios are unfolding. our climate reporter georgina rannard reports. sweltering temperatures in spain and dangerous wildfires in greece. millions have struggled through powerful heatwaves around the world in recent days. now scientists are poring over a run of climate records that have not only been broken, but smashed, and alarm bells are ringing. it's true to say that the models, the climate models that we have, do a very good job of predicting the climate system, but in the kind of larger scale. so, the fact that we're seeing the world warming because of greenhouse gases is not unexpected. but seeing some of these records being broken, you know, these marine heatwaves in the north atlantic, the severe decrease in antarctic sea ice was not expected, and is something that we're going to have to work to try and understand. and this is why they're worried.

for decades, the global average temperature has been getting higher and higher. then, injuly this year, it broke through 17 degrees for the first time. the record for the hottest day on earth fell notjust once, but three times in a week. and it's notjust the land that's hot. the oceans, which take up most of the world's heat, are seeing unprecedented temperatures. the north atlantic and seas off the uk coast are up to five degrees hotter than average. and there's another worrying abnormality. sea ice in the antarctic is extremely low for the time of year — 10% lower than usual. we know that the planet is warming because of greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere by humans burning oil, coal and gas. the world will also be hotter because of el nino, a powerful, naturally occurring weather pattern that started in june. but scientists say these records constantly being broken are not yet a sign that the climate is in collapse. they say there is time to use

the solutions we have to keep the planet as liveable as possible. georgina rannard, bbc news. a large section of cliff has collapsed onto a beach on dorset�*sjurassic coast. the landslip happened at seatown beach, the same section of coastline as another collapse in 2021. emergency services warned there was a greater risk of cliff falls due to recent dry weather. a new photograph of prince george has been released, to celebrate his tenth birthday today. the picture shows the young royal — who is second in line to the throne — smiling on a set of steps at windsor. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. lots of sports fans are going to be hanging on your every word today. i would say dress appropriately. yes, not a great weekend if you have got outdoor plans, i'm afraid. very

unlikejuly. a lot of rain. it will feel rather cool with a blustery wind. let's look at what to expect. it is this area of low pressure. it is these frontal systems. this is a broad warm sector. it basically means it will stay cloudy. there will be outbreaks of rain. anywhere in between these weather fronts will stay pretty damn. quite slow moving. that means there is more wet weather to come. at the moment we are going to come. at the moment we are going to see plenty of heavy rain as we move into the weekend. if we look at the rainfall accumulation, the heaviest of the rain looks likely to be across the north west. that means that some areas over the weekend could see as much as a0 to 60 millimetres of rainfall on top of the already pretty wetjuly that we have seen. another couple of inches of rain to come. this is what we have got at the moment. it is not widespread persistent. you can see bands of showery rain moving in. one pushing through, another one waiting in the wings. so, this area of low pressure is drifting its way slowly

eastwards. a lot of cloud for most of us. the far north of scotland starting off on a chilly note. some sunshine, isolated showers. you will stay dry. underneath the cloud and the rain, the rain pushing into the north of england. 16 to 19 degrees. yes, some pretty important sporting events taking place. and i don't think there is going to be that much in the way of significant play at the ashes test today, if any. for the ashes test today, if any. for the gulf, they will be able to play but it will be wild when you factor in the wind. as we move through the evening and overnight, the low is still with us. the strongest winds on the southern flank of that low. the rain will gradually ease but it will sit across northern england. a mild night with the cloud and the wind and the rain around. but as we go into tomorrow morning, yes, we have still got some wet weather

across northern ingot. we are a little more optimistic this will gradually pull away. so fingers crossed, we will get to see some play for the cricket. —— northern ireland. there is likely to be some rain in northern england and north wales. top temperatures with more sunshine, 23 degrees in the south—east. if you still have outdoor plans, many of the kids off for the summer holidays, this pattern is going to continue as another weather front starts to push in. so, as we look further afield, it means showers or longer spells of rain and a cool feel for the week ahead. school is out for not summer, by the looks of it. thank you. let's take a look at today's papers. the by—election results are dominating a lot of the front pages this morning. according to the guardian, the results are a "cry for change" and underline the extent to which the national mood has turned against rishi sunak�*s party. "all isn't lost!" is the daily express headline, after the conservatives managed to hold on to borisjohnson�*s former

seat of uxbridge and south ruislip. away from politics, the sun focuses on britain's summer getaway, which it says ground to a halt on friday as holiday—makers were hit by delays. there's a big picture of england captain millie bright on the front of the daily mirror ahead of their match against haiti later. it says england's lionesses are getting ready to bring football's world cup home. you might have seen a lot of pictures and tributes being paid to the singer tony bennett, who died yesterday, aged 96. the pop and jazz legend, described by frank sinatra as the best singer in the business, retired in 2021 following an alzheimer's diagnosis. the great thing about tony bennett is he, every decade, he collaborated. he was always present

multiple, multiple times, it's a starting point of 15 years. so, this consultation is looking at closing that ten year gap. ellie was at home doing a—level revision. poppy was in bed. i think their unprovoked attacks, and these domestic homicides, have to be seen in the same light and given the same respect, and stop diminishing the lives of those women that are taken that way. these are very dangerous men. the government has said it's now consulting on changing this, which would level up the ten year gap. carole and julie hope this new step may mean fairer sentences. you've both worked incredibly hard. it's been over a four yearjourney to get to this point. you know, why it's been left to us when everyone we've met have said, "it's not working, you're right", i don't know. you know, i had to, before coming to the interview, i kissed a box of ashes before i came here today and thought, why is it us that's having to do this? we don't want to be doing this,

but it seems to be mothers that change the law. look at this one killed by herjealous ex—boyfriend. i mean, there's not even a picture of this. in the last three months, these are just some of the names and faces of women who've been killed at home. carole and julie hope this new step will mean fairer sentences. the law may change, but it will be too late for ellie and poppy. it's bittersweet. but out of something so dreadful, all we can do is try and make a difference for others. i think poppy would be very proud. at school she was voted the student most likely to change the world. she had that ripped away from her. all i can do is try and do this in in her place. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

away from the world cup, in cricket england are in control of the fourth ashes test at old trafford. they've built a big first innings total and australia will resume day four 113 for four in their second innings, still 162 runs behind. england six wickets away from the win that would level the series — but the weather forecast this weekend may well dampen their spirits asjoe wilson reports. what lay behind jonny bairstow�*s innings was the need for england to set up a match—winning position. his 99 not out accelerated the total to 592, a lead of 275. some of the hitting even ben stokes couldn't quite believe. but bairstow also channelled frustration. he is aware of criticism of his wicket keeping. in particular, he's on the comeback from a very serious leg break. of course, to be ten months, still now ten months post—operation from that, when you're told you might not walk properly again, never mind run again or play professional sport, i'm immensely proud

of the determination that i've shown and commitment to get back. when it comes to australia's second innings a man who has made the difference here so far for england is the man who has made the difference in this series, mark wood. he was too quick for usman khawaja. he was too rapid for steve smith. another faint touch and a catch byjonny bairstow again. travis head could only fend this delivery off to ben duckett. now, just give mark wood a little bit of sunshine over the weekend and he could do the rest. just six more wickets for england to take. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. from old trafford to hoylake because yesterday was all about the american brian harman at the open. he had another superb round on day two, topping the leaderboard at the half way stage, sitting on ten under. he birdied the first five holes — and capped off a flawless

round of 65 with an eagle on the 18th. tommy fleetwood who was amongst the overnight leaders after day one is on five under. it was another frustrating day for rory mcilroy, who will made the cut but is nine shots adrift. if defending tour de france champion jonas vingegaard makes it through the last mountain stage today, he will secure the yellowjersey and ride into paris tomorrow to be confirmed as the race winner. the dane leads by over 7.5 minutes, while britain's adam yates is third overall. stage 19 yesterday was 107 miles long, but slovenia's matej mohoric won it by millimetres, beating denmark's kasper asgreen in a tight photo finish. an emotional time afterwards. so much drama in the sport now. thank

enough to tell government this is something you should be concerned about. the inquiry�*s next phase examines in detail, the decisions made after covid hit the uk. many of those choices were based on documents, exercises and plans set out in the decade before 2020. it is clear now those plans were not up to scratch. lockdown is, for examples, were not even considered. the whole system will need to improve if the uk is to better prepare itself for the next pandemic that might come along.

game of this world cup. as european champions there is a weight of expectation on their shoulders. so the return of their captain millie bright to full fitness is a welcome sight. she's fit, she's going to play. we will see how long that will be, but she has done everything we wanted her to do to get ready for this game. she came out of the things good too. so we are very happy, she's very happy, the team's very happy, so let's get started. we love you england, we do! england are one of the main attractions of this tournament. theirfans in brisbane have come from near and far. and they're expecting big things from the lionesses. i think they can win, i really do. and i don't normally say that. i'm like a really pessimistic england fan. but i saw them train last week at the sunshine coast and they look really good. obviously they won the euros, so why not? there is a big british population over here,

and we want to make sure that we are supporting them as best we can. we do the cricket, we do the men's sport, so i'm here today with the ladies. the girls will bring. it home, definitely. all the way. you're that confident? yeah, absolutely confident. we're going to have a super tournament and we're - going to have lots of fun, but also. _ they're going to win it. england are here in brisbane as one of the favourites to win the world cup, but there are questions circling sarina wiegman's side. she's without key players through injury and her team have not scored in the last three matches. they will be expected to put that right against haiti. for a country in a state of turmoil, haiti's first world cup offers a rare moment of celebration. this is a team with talent. still, england are heavy favourites to win, and win comfortably. it's a game we're excited for. it's exciting to play a team you've never played and, you know, see what they bring to the game. it's definitely not an opponent to take lightly, so, yeah, we are definitely switched on and ready for this one. as england get ready to write a new chapter

in their history, the message from the fans couldn't be clearer. katie gornall, bbc news, brisbane. jane dougall is at a fan park near the brisbane stadium for us this morning, where the lionesses will be kicking things off in just over four hours. morning. i morning. lam morning. i am sure there are lots of england fans who are very excited? yeah, you can probably hear there is quite a bit of music going on. the drums are beating. they are starting to gather. four hours to go. quite a few hours to go. many of the england fans who are here as expats have got lots of kids, so it is quite a family atmosphere. you can see them sitting on deck chairs behind me enjoying the sunshine. watching the live performances on the big screen. that big screen is where the match is going to be played. the people who have not managed to get tickets can come and watch. and soak up the

sun rays and enjoy watching the lionesses play against haiti. you heard of sarina wiegman speaking. and of course under sarina wiegman england did very well with 30 matches unbeaten. however, they were beaten in april by australia, the co—hosts. that was the first match they had lost. they haven't scored in the last three matches. there have been some questions about how well england are going to perform against haiti. they are going to be quite a physical side. it is their debut at the world cup. we are expecting them to be up for this challenge against one of the best in the world. england are ranked fourth. it is quite a big ask for haiti. but they are going to come to this game hard and wanting to get some sort of result against england. we heard from millie bright yesterday. she was saying how excited the whole of the squad are, first of all to be here at a world

cup, and secondly, to get going. again, a few questions about how england are going to perform because there are injuries of senior players, significant players, including previous captain leah williamson. also, there have been discussions about pay and conditions and bonuses. that has been white noise. now they lionesses say they are going to get down to business, playing football, and they are up for playing against haiti in their first match of this world cup. thank ou. you first match of this world cup. thank you- you can _ first match of this world cup. thank you. you can definitely _ first match of this world cup. thank you. you can definitely feel - first match of this world cup. thank you. you can definitely feel the - you. you can definitely feel the atmosphere. a subject we have been talking about on this programme is pregnancy loss and care for women. roger, this is something you are picking up on? yes, we are going to talk to one of the co—authors of the report, a major review of pregnancy services in england, which says women should have specialist access to care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. we will talk to one of the co—authors after eight o'clock.

its estimated there are around 500 miscarriages every day in the uk, but many women lose their babies at home, with very little support or pain relief. a warning that there are some graphic descriptions of baby loss in?tulip mazumdar s report, which some viewers may find upsetting. rachel has been documenting her pregnancy journey on tiktok. she suffered four miscarriages. her second was particularly traumatic. it was, unfortunately, i believe, over a weekend period. and so, the advice i was really kind of given was, it seems like you're having another miscarriage, have plenty of bed rest, and take some pain relief if needed, and kind ofjust wait it out. at one point i went to the bathroom, and as i went and pulled down my underwear, my baby fully intact in its sac with a tiny little placenta, which was literally no bigger than a £2 coin,

fell and sat into my underwear. rachel's is sadly not an uncommon story, which is why the review is calling for a miscarriage helpline and 24 hour access to specialist early pregnancy units, developing a container to store the baby's remains if a loss happens at home, and support and advice offered after one miscarriage instead of three. 250,000 women a year experience a miscarriage. in a lot of cases, we can't prevent a miscarriage. but what we can do is try and make that process that women and their partners are going through less traumatic in order to limit the ongoing effects. another key recommendation in this review is to start offering certificates to parents whose babies die before 24 weeks. at the moment, some families are given little notes, like this one. but from october, the plan is to offer them an official government document

to acknowledge their loss. i want to see people stopping having to hit google to find out what care should i be receiving? where should i be going for support? this support should be easily available to every single person, and it should be offered to every person who is suffering. it's notjust the mother who's carrying the child. it needs to be also offered to their partner. the government says it's looking into all 70 recommendations and starting to take action on some of them. a year since her last miscarriage, rachel is now mum to baby thomas. i would love to tell him about the siblings he could have had. i want to educate him that pregnancy and creating life and children isn't as simple as getting that positive pregnancy test. and it's why i created my tiktok account, to support and make people aware of what can happen and make them not feel alone. tulip mazumdar, bbc news.

passengers are being warned to check before they travel, as the getaway for the school summer holiday is likely to be disrupted by cancelled services. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. as the school summer holidays get going for millions of people in england and wales, in many places, the trains have come to a halt. today is the latest strike by members of the rmt at 14 train companies, and it's the last day of the current overtime ban by train drivers in the aslef union. the level of disruption will vary around the country. many services will end for the day much earlier than usual. another strike is expected next saturday. the rmt at the moment seems to be concentrating its strikes more at weekends, so the aim is to affect leisure travel. so today's strike on a saturday and next weekends again will have a big impact on people who are thinking of taking days out, and there'll be a real skeleton service operating. the drivers' union, aslef, its work to rule, where drivers are refusing to work overtime, is having a longer impact. it's seeing a few services withdrawn

by a lot of companies every day. these strikes are happening after progress in the national dispute stalled in april. the rmt says plans to close hundreds of ticket offices have now added to its members' anger. separately, strikes on the london underground, which were scheduled to begin tomorrow, have been called off. the summer getaway is traditionally a busy time on the roads, and the train strike could add to congestion as more people take to their cars instead. the travel association abta thinks over two million british holiday—makers will head overseas this weekend. the port of dover will be under scrutiny again, after long delays before easter and last summer. the port says it's made changes to ease the queues, but there could still be waits of up to two and a half hours at border controls. after last year's disruption, because of staff shortages, airports and airlines insist they've done as much as possible to ensure things go smoothly, although worries persist about congested european airspace

and air traffic control issues. the coming days will be a test at what's expected to be their busiest time since before the pandemic. katy austin, bbc news. from monday, children aged ten and 11 will be able to use passport e—gates at the uk border. currently, 12 is the minimum age for using e—gates. the change follows successful trials at airports in london. scientists say they're concerned by the recent run of broken climate records, saying the speed and timing of them is unprecedented. work is taking place to establish the link to climate change, but scientists already fear some worst—case scenarios are unfolding. our climate reporter georgina rannard reports. sweltering temperatures in spain and dangerous wildfires in greece. millions have struggled through powerful heatwaves around the world in recent days.

now scientists are poring over a run of climate records that have not only been broken, but smashed, and alarm bells are ringing. it's true to say that the models, the climate models that we have, do a very good job of predicting the climate system, but in the kind of larger scale. so, the fact that we're seeing the world warming because of greenhouse gases is not unexpected. but seeing some of these records being broken, you know, these marine heatwaves in the north atlantic, the severe decrease in antarctic sea ice was not expected, and is something that we're going to have to work to try and understand. and this is why they're worried. for decades, the global average temperature has been getting higher and higher. then, injuly this year, it broke through 17 degrees for the first time. the record for the hottest day on earth fell notjust once, but three times in a week. and it's notjust the [and that's hot. the oceans, which take up most of the world's heat, are seeing unprecedented temperatures. the north atlantic and seas off the uk coast are up to five degrees

hotter than average. and there's another worrying abnormality. sea ice in the antarctic is extremely low for the time of year — 10% lower than usual. we know that the planet is warming because of greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere by humans burning oil, coal and gas. the world will also be hotter because of el nino, a powerful, naturally occurring weather pattern that started in june. but scientists say these records constantly being broken are not yet a sign that the climate is in collapse. they say there is time to use the solutions we have to keep the planet as liveable as possible. georgina rannard, bbc news. a football match in gateshead had to be called off after a funeral hearse and a car were driven onto the pitch. vehicles drove in circles in the centre on the pitch. witnesses say two men, who were masked, then climbed out of the hearse and into the car and left the ground. a new photograph of prince george

has been released, to celebrate his tenth birthday today. the picture shows the young royal — who is second in line to the throne — smiling on a set of steps at windsor. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. we were hearing about record temperatures a moment ago. not here, for sure? ., , , ., temperatures a moment ago. not here, for sure? ., , , . . for sure? no. they is a live weather watch a picture _ for sure? no. they is a live weather watch a picture sent _ for sure? no. they is a live weather watch a picture sent in _ for sure? no. they is a live weather watch a picture sent in an _ for sure? no. they is a live weather watch a picture sent in an hour- for sure? no. they is a live weather watch a picture sent in an hour ago. they say is liverpool. you can see how cloudy it is at the moment. it is the world, actually, so i hope i have not offended anybody. drizzly rain around at the moment and it is pretty much the story for the rest of the day i'm afraid. as this area of the day i'm afraid. as this area of low pressure is dominating the story into the weekend. we are sandwiched in between these two weather fronts at the moment. this is what is known as a broad warming sector. underneath these two fronts a lot of low cloud, grey and drizzly

weather. over the next couple of days we are likely to see some significant rainfall accumulations. the brighter green showing where the heaviest of the rain is likely. some areas could get as much as 40 to 60 millimetres of rain before they slope moves through. that is over a couple of inches of rain on top of the wetjuly we have seen. this is what we have got at the moment. one batch of rain moving away. that is why it is quite drizzly in manchester and liverpool. more wet weather waiting in the wings. basically, we will see outbreaks of rain feeding in around the low throughout the day today. it would be very frustrating if you have got outdoor plants. the best of the weather across scotland. here, a few scattered showers. keeping some sunshine in the far north—east. 16 degrees the high. elsewhere, temperatures disappointing for the latter stages ofjuly. disappointing if you have got tickets for the fourth ashes test. there is very

little scenario where we are going to see significant play today. further golf, the winds could be pretty blustery. —— further golf. but i'll this afternoon. as we go through the evening, that low pressure continues to push its way steadily eastwards. more wet weather to come in areas across southern scotland, northern england and northern ireland. very wet indeed. to the north and south of that quite a lot of clout. a mile start to sunday. quite dismalfor some. sunday. quite dismal for some. hopefully sunday. quite dismalfor some. hopefully that frontal system will start to gradually ease away. could be a delayed start for the cricket on sunday. more optimistic of seeing some play perhaps for the second half of the weekend. temperatures with more sunshine coming through, a degree warmer. 23 degrees the overall high. still pretty disappointing for the latter stages ofjuly. what to expect as the summer holidays are well and truly in full swing? brief respite at the

beginning of the week before another system pushes in on wednesday. don't expect anything particularly settled as we go through the week ahead. we are going to see showers or longer spells of rain and temperatures below par spells of rain and temperatures below par for spells of rain and temperatures below par for this spells of rain and temperatures below par for this time spells of rain and temperatures below par for this time of spells of rain and temperatures below par for this time of the spells of rain and temperatures below par for this time of the year. thank you. see you later. z�*i below par for this time of the year. thank you. see you later. 21 minutes ast thank you. see you later. 21 minutes past seven- — more than £55 million was saved last year by bank and building societies refusing to carry out transactions they suspected to be fraud. figures seen by radio 4's money box programme show staff used what's called the banking protocol, which allows them to stop suspicious transfers, more than 11,000 times last year. dan whitworth from the money box team joins us now. morning. this is a rare story in the sense that we are praising the banks for what they are doing. and i think lots of people, i have had it, i don't know if you have had it, have been called going, what is this

27 minutes past seven. we are going to introduce you to a young girl called beatrix. she spent the first two years of a life in hospital being kept alive by artificial heart. it happened to my nephew. you know a lot about what young people are going through in the lives they would be living. and how much hope there would be for a new heart. for there would be for a new heart. for the organ donor waiting list. beatrix now has a real one after a year waiting. beatrix now has a real one after a yearwaiting. she beatrix now has a real one after a year waiting. she is finally back home with her mum and dad, alison freeman has been to see how she is getting on. enjoying a walk in the park like any other child. but up until now, little beatrix's life has been anything but normal. the last time we saw the two —year—old, she'd reached a difficult milestone. she'd spent half her life in hospital, waiting for a heart transplant, a machine

keeping her alive. but that changed when the family got a phone call saying a donor heart had become available. in that moment, it was just a really strong feeling that this is beatrix's chance, this is her chance to have a normal life outside of this hospital. and i think that's what i grasped on to. and that's what that's what stayed with us for that 24 hours isjust this is her chance to go home. but underlying that, there was a thought of this could be our last morning with beatrix. these could be our last hours with her. she's facing a massive operation with lots of risks. absolutely petrifying when you think about it. beatrix had been attached to a berlin heart, which did the work her own couldn't. the operation meant she finally got her freedom back. no pipes.

terry and cheryl have experienced the pain of being a donorfamily, too? having lost a daughter isabelle in late pregnancy. they made the difficult decision to donate her heart to research. obviously, there's a lot of sadness that comes as a by—product of this. but what is this meant to your lives? it's called the gift of life for for a reason. and they have enabled beatrix to have the hope of a future. we don't know what her life's going to bring. it all rests on the decision that that family made. every second of her life moving forward is down to them and their courage. and that's the power of organ donation, because it ripples outwards and hopefully onwards for a long time to come. i can understand an overwhelming desire to close my front door and never speak about organ donation awareness ever again, because ijust am desperate for family life to return to normal. however, there's two little girls on that ward who are waiting for their chance. and how can we close the door behind us knowing that there

are other children waiting? if you have the opportunity to save lives, what great a legacy can there possibly be? she looks bright as a button now. yeah! can you believe what's happened? i was looking back at photographs just in the days before we got the call, and i said, terry, beatrix wasn't thriving any more. you could see how grey it was. she looked absolutely exhausted. and that is a scary thing and how close she could have been to the end of her life. and then you look now and she is pink and she's mischievous and nosy and feisty and throws a really great tantrum. and the difference that you can make to somebody has just unbelievable. in the space of a few weeks, she's been given that chance. alison freeman, bbc news, newcastle.

you know all about that. i've been to that playground. _ england are hoping to go one step further this summer and win the women's world cup for the first time. one of the star players hoping to help them achieve that is lucy bronze, the only player in the squad with more than 100 caps for her country. our reporter rogers is at alnwick town football club, where it all began for lucy. you have got some friends there, i think you have had to bribe those young people to get therefore a bit early with the promise of a good breakfast? i early with the promise of a good breakfast? .. early with the promise of a good breakfast? . ., early with the promise of a good lbreakfast?— early with the promise of a good breakfast? . ., , ., breakfast? i am not sure if we had to bribe them. _ breakfast? i am not sure if we had to bribe them. i _ breakfast? i am not sure if we had to bribe them. ithink— breakfast? i am not sure if we had to bribe them. i think they - breakfast? i am not sure if we had to bribe them. i think they are - breakfast? i am not sure if we had to bribe them. i think they are all| to bribe them. i think they are all very excited, they are here two hours early and we have started nervously eating. he uses this bacon butty? nervously eating. he uses this bacon

not there. and sarina wiegman thinks the side are still well balanced and well placed for a good run at this tournament. it starts with quality and you want the most quality on the pitch. and when there's some experience that helps too. so there's a good balance now between experience and players that have not that much experience, but they will get experience really quickly. for many people england are second favourites to win the world cup — behind the united states, who made a winning start overnight. a comfortable 3—0 victory for the holders over vietnam in auckland. not the cricket score that some were expecting. sophia smith, one of 14 players in the squad appearing at theirfirst world cup, scored twice... as the us look to win a record third consecutive world title. i think it was a good starting point for our team in this tournament. i also know that we have a lot, you know, more that we can give, a lot more to do, little things to work on. so it think it's a good place to start and personally it was good to just get a world cup game under my belt, kind of see how it

felt and know what to expect. but, yeah, honestly, itjust makes me more excited for the next game. away from the world cup, in cricket england are in control of the fourth ashes test at old trafford. they've built a big first innings total and australia will resume day four 113 for four in their second innings, still 162 runs behind. england six wickets away from the win that would level the series — but the weather forecast this weekend may well dampen their spirits asjoe wilson reports. what lay behind jonny bairstow�*s innings was the need for england to set up a match—winning position. his 99 not out accelerated the total to 592, a lead of 275. some of the hitting even ben stokes couldn't quite believe. but bairstow also channelled frustration. he is aware of criticism of his wicket keeping. in particular, he's on the comeback from a very serious leg break. of course, to be ten months,

still now ten months post—operation from that, when you're told you might not walk properly again, never mind run again or play professional sport, i'm immensely proud of the determination that i've shown and commitment to get back. when it comes to australia's second innings a man who has made the difference here so far for england is the man who has made the difference in this series, mark wood. he was too quick for usman khawaja. he was too rapid for steve smith. another faint touch and a catch byjonny bairstow again. travis head could only fend this delivery off to ben duckett. now, just give mark wood a little bit of sunshine over the weekend and he could do the rest. just six more wickets for england to take. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. if defending tour de france champion yonas vinger—gaur makes it through the last mountain stage today, he will secure the yellow jersey and ride into paris tomorrow to be confirmed as the race winner. the danish rider leads by over

seven and a half minutes, while britain's adam yates is third overall. stage 19 yesterday was 107 miles long, but slovenia's matej mohoric won it by millimetres, beating denmark's kasper asgren in a tight photo finish. from manchester to merseyside, old trafford to hoylake, where bad weather's expected to hamper day three of the open golf where tommy fleetwood, trying to win his first major, is five shots off the lead. it's america's brian harman who tops the leaderboard at the half way stage, sitting on ten under. rory mcilroy is nine shots adrift of him. andy swiss has more. so, can any one reel in the runaway leader? brian harman is ranked just 26 in the world, but yesterday no one could get near him. he ended a stunning round with an eagle and a five shot lead.

this open might only be at the halfway point, but so far brian harman has been in a class of his own. he will now have to deal with testing whether conditions though, as well as the chasing pack, including his closest challenger, tommy fleetwood. the englishman won't be lacking for support here. more moments like this, and anything is possible. close behind him is austria's sepp straka, six birdies in his last seven holes helping him soar up the leaderboard. as for rory mcilroy, there had been so moments of magic, but nine shots off the lead he has plenty of work to do. but the shot of the day was undoubtedly this. travis smyth of australia with a hole in one. he missed the cut, but that should be some consolation. andy swiss, bbc news, hoylake.

today in the world of sport. your photo is from the wirral? it is from the wirral, tells the story beautifully. it is light and drizzly rain, very atmospheric picture but the wet weather is likely to stay with you on and off throughout the day. we have this low pressure moving in very slowly and the series of weather fronts just driving in a lot of cloud and from time to time, outbreaks of rain. not heavy, persistent rain all day, so it will be quite tricky. but the rainfall totals. to tot up over the weekend, particularly across the north—west where we could see as much as 50 to 60 millimetres of rain. another couple of inches of rain. another couple of inches of rain at before that low—pressure drifts away. this is the story at the moment, it has been a wet start and there have been some breaks, a little bit of drizzle developing but

another pulse of wet weather putting in so we are not particularly optimistic of seeing any great dryer interludes. that weather front will continue to drift its way steadily east and up to the west country, costing in excess of 40 miles an hour. the best of the weather is in scotland where it will be dry and clouding into the afternoon, but temperature is disappointing for this time of year. if you haven't already guessed, i am not too optimistic we will see anything insignificant play from the ashes. for the gulf, it will be interesting, particularly when you factor in the gusty winds from time to time. hopefully the low pressure continues to get a wriggle on through the night tonight and it will be quite windy as the southern flank of that low drift eastwards. the heaviest of the rain across northern england and northern ireland, is the first thing in the morning he will be a wet start. sandwiched at the side, dry but rather cloudy. it will be a grey

start to sunday morning however you look at it. eventually the rain will pull away as it drifts steadily southwards and east. hopefully an improving picture across manchester and liverpool. so a better day for the cricket and for the goal. still quite windy, top temperatures with a little more sunshine on sunday afternoon of 23 degrees. most of the schools have finally broken up. unfortunately, if you have outdoor plans, monday doesn't look too bad, relatively dry and settled. another low pushing in and a similar sort of setup developed through the middle part of the week, so bringing further outbreaks of rain. no two days the same, plenty of rain around, blustery winds and still those temperatures disappointing for late july. those temperatures disappointing for latejuly. back those temperatures disappointing for late july. back to you those temperatures disappointing for latejuly. back to you two. thanks very much, louise. we are going to keep everything closely tuned to you, because you matter so much because of the sport. no pressure.

he describes himself as 'a struggling stand—up comedian, who struggles to stand up', but this year, lee ridley, or 'lost voice guy�* as he's better known — will be taking part in the great north run. lee, who has cerebral palsy, will be pushed around the half—marathon course in his wheelchair, with the help of friends. jeff brown has been to meet him. it all began as a joke among friends, which is of course, lee ridley�*s speciality. but now he's committed to tackling the 13.2 miles from newcastle to south shields on behalf of the smile for life north—east children's charity, of which he's a proud patron. i think something that every geordie has to do at some point in their life. it's such an amazing event for the region and i'm excited to be part of that. obviously, i won't be running myself because i can hardly

walk, never mind run. i'm also quite lazy. in fourth so i wouldn't need to walk up to the podium. so i'm having some friends push me in my wheelchair instead and i promise to lay off the chocolate puddings until after the race. the launch event took place at the charity's tea room in newcastle, where britain's got talent winner, lee, is a regular and an inspiration. we support children and young people with disabilities, both learning disabilities and physical disabilities and we empowerthem to live their best life. we met lee a good number of years ago now, he's a great role model for our young people doing exactly what we try and encourage them to do. which is reach for their goals and with the right support, they can achieve them and look what lee has done. there is no barriers here and our young people are empowered to achieve whatever

they dream of. when people do the great north run they always want a personal best time, so how long do you think it's going to take them to get you round the course? i'm not saying i don't trust my friends to push me around the course, but i might wear a crash helmetjust in case. to be honest, i willjust be glad to cross the finish line still in one piece. jeff brown, bbc news. i'm not sure how much faith lee has in his friends. we will have the headlines at eight o'clock. now on breakfast it's time for click.

this month fans all over the world were glued to coverage of the wimbledon tennis tournament. it was televised for the first time in 1937, when fred perry's run of wins was ended by the american don budge. since then, the bbc and broadcasters around the world have provided expert commentary on all of the action. well actually, not quite all of the action. no, coverage of the outlying courts has remained somewhat silent, but that could be about to change, thanks to artificial intelligence, as we have been finding out. what was it like as a player walking out on the centre court? it is just the most fantastic feeling, in front of this

crowd that have been cheering you on and that's thrill, and a bit of fear as well. it's all mixed in. there's nothing like it. it's just wonderful. jo durie was britain's number one in the 1980s. she recovered to win the match, taking the final set by 6—0. like other players and fans, she knows what a magical place wimbledon is. nothing beats the atmosphere here on centre court in the sunshine at wimbledon. it's epic. but not everyone can make it to south—west london. for a lot of us means watching on a tv, mobile or computer. not all of which will have commentary. the all england club has been working with its it partner ibm to fix this for the wimbledon website and app. it collect masses of data from all around the courts for its ai platform. what we are doing is taking all that information and feeding it in to the model which then takes text and turns it into numbers. it takes those numbers, compresses it, expands it.

then it outputs text again. that can be internally spoken as an ai commentary. and this is what it sounds like. both male and female sounding ai commentators are featuring on the app. mori for the united kingdom. the voices are computer—generated, which is why they lack the human touch. what a fantastic place to do an interview. this is amazing, isn't it? right on centre court, the sun is out. jo durie, who we met earlier, has been commentating since she stopped playing professionally. what do you think makes a good commentator then? i think you've got to be short and sharp sometimes with what you are saying. and to get a feel of what's happening. sometimes you don't need to actually say anything because the crowd have gone mad and you want to feel that. and you can see the players. so, let it go.

other times, maybe when it is flagging a bit, then it's time to fill in a bid from behind the scenes. so, i think you very much have to have that feel of when to talk and when not. replacing people likejo? to be clear, this is on matches that don't have commentary at the moment. we would love to make all matches available in a more accessible way. you can see how the intention here is to complement and supplement those commentators that we know and love, rather than replace them. for now, the ai commentary is only being used after the event for highlights. but ibm has plans to generate commentary in real time. it also label like a net approach, a volley, types of shots. but just how close

to that goal are they? we are very close. these models are very big. i will tell you a very interesting stat. by the time a tennis point is over, i can create commentary in one to two seconds. it's really fast. at the beginning of the project that was the grand challenge, to be as fast as possible. we were looking at the order of maybe 20 to ten seconds. will it be able to do it in less than a second to is that prime matches. i think it is achievable. we could horizontally scale out some of the algorithms. we could also make our data gathering collection faster as well. so when my people do watching live

and getting real—time ai commentary? i think it is going to be sooner than any of us can imagine. by the time we roll around the next year's tournament i think you will really enjoy what you see. where do you see this technology moving in the future, and you think it will be on real—time matches, for example, next year? well, i can't give you any commitments, but i can say that what we are going to be doing is inventing and augmenting new things we have not even imagined yet. ok, but what do the professionals think? oh, wow, now we are going somewhere where it is a bit scary, i think. for me, in my mind, i can't quite understand how an ai would grab the feel of the situation. yes, there might be certain things that happen in a match that you can say, oh, they most this or hit that, but what about the reaction of everything? what about the reaction of the player? what has just happened? so, to get my head around this, i'm just not sure. will i be out of a job soon? ibm sasto durie

because myjob is safe for i'iow. but five, ten years from now? that is a whole different ball game. you will blame me for interfering with your democracy. it's not hard for democracy to collapse. these days it is not totally clear what to believe and what not to. these videos are fake. lies have been around for thousands of years. but they are just lies in a slightly other form. ground control laws have a risk of noncompliance. deep fakes are becoming increasingly easy to make and hard to detect. that is mainly because of advances in al. in theory, anyone with a computer and the internet can make a deep fake.

there is this potential for videos to deceive people. there is also an example of deep fake of president zelensky. that was to admit defeat to the russians about a year and a couple of months ago. yet it's actually pretty hard for even experts to work out whether a video is real or not. it is a problem intel claims to have solved by detecting blood under the skin. so we have come here to check it out. deep fake videos are everywhere now. you have probably already seen them. fortunately, intel is developing several solutions to detect deep fake in realtime. like the one you are seeing right now. because you are not real, i am.

you got me. the real life she agreed to sit down with the bbc and explain the unusual way it works. if you only try to find the wrong things, sometimes they can be fixed and you can no longer find the wrong things. so we twist that question and we ask, what is real about us? fake catcher looks at that question in the sense of looking at your heart. when your heart pumps blood, or vines are changing colour. that colour change is called pbg. we take those signals from many

places on your face and convert them into pbg maps, and develop an approach on top of that to classify intel fake or real videos. in short, fake catcher looks for minuscule signs of blood flow in your face, something a deep fake would not have. it also analyses videos for authentic human eye movement. normally when humans look at the point, when i look at you, if i am shooting raise from my eyes, it is converging on you. but for deep fakes, they are everywhere. intel claims the system is 96% accurate and can work on all kinds of deep fakes. so we decided to give it a go with deep fakes generated by mit. i had the answers on my phone. protections for companies are more important than individualfinancial

relief for teachers and sanitation workers. in the beginning it seems like very little. does this look riddled? then it accumulate. it's fake. it turns into fake. at the end, 84% accuracy, fake. interesting. that was correct. today, as the sitting president in the white house, i still believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. i am a traditionalist, ok? really it's just that i'm a traditionalist. what does fake catcher say? 66% accuracy. this is fake? yeah, yeah. the system was good at finding fakes but not good finding out if video is real. i have been working with leaders of congress now, today. ok, i think fake.

they have been whale watching, meeting the locals, and experiencing the culture. the lionesses are nowjust hours from their first game of this world cup. as european champions there is a weight of expectation on their shoulders. so the return of their captain millie bright to full fitness is a welcome sight. she's fit, she's going to play. we will see how long that will be, but she has done everything we wanted her to do to get ready for this game. she came out of the things good too. so we are very happy, she's very happy, the team's very happy, so let's get started. we love you england, we do! england are one of the main attractions of this tournament. theirfans in brisbane have come from near and far. and they're expecting big things from the lionesses. i think they can win, i really do. and i don't normally say that. i'm like a really pessimistic england fan. but i saw them train last week at the sunshine coast and they look really good.

obviously they won the euros, so why not? there is a big british population over here, and we want to make sure that we are supporting them as best we can. we do the cricket, we do the men's sport, so i'm here today with the ladies. the girls will bring. it home, definitely. all the way. you're that confident? yeah, absolutely confident. we're going to have a super tournament and we're - going to have lots of fun, but also. _ they're going to win it. england are here in brisbane as one of the favourites to win the world cup, but there are questions circling sarina wiegman's side. she's without key players through injury and her team have not scored in the last three matches. they will be expected to put that right against haiti. for a country in a state of turmoil, haiti's first world cup offers a rare moment of celebration. this is a team with talent. still, england are heavy favourites to win, and win comfortably. it's a game we're excited for. it's exciting to play a team you've never played and, you know, see what they bring to the game. it's definitely not an opponent to take lightly, so, yeah, we are definitely switched

on and ready for this one. as england get ready to write a new chapter in their history, the message from the fans couldn't be clearer. katie gornall, bbc news, brisbane. jane dougall is at a fan park near the brisbane stadium for us this morning, where the lionesses will be kicking things off in just over 42 hours' time. and over 42 hours' time. i am sure the fans are very excited. and i am sure the fans are very excited. ., and i am sure the fans are very excited. ,, , and i am sure the fans are very excited. ., , ., and i am sure the fans are very excited. ,, , ., ., excited. the sun is going down here, and the weather _ excited. the sun is going down here, and the weather is _ excited. the sun is going down here, and the weather is cooling _ excited. the sun is going down here, and the weather is cooling down - excited. the sun is going down here, and the weather is cooling down a i and the weather is cooling down a little bit, for australia! letsjoin some people who have decided to come here, the smiths and james s. steve, let me start with you because of the hat, how much have you been looking forward to this? england winning the

being talked about after thursday? good morning to you both. it's the fallout from those by—elections, the question of what lessons should be learned and what should change. for the conservatives, richey sinner, what we're hearing from downing street is they want a focus, agenda, more things on crime, law and order, migrant boats, law and there are elements within the party. —— rishi sunak. labourvery elements within the party. —— rishi sunak. labour very much focusing on their assault on uxbridge. theyjust narrowly lost. what does this mean about the ultra low emissions zone, the key issue? does it tell us broader stories about the climate change, the whole area of that policy? they will discuss that at the national policy forum this weekend where they start to think about what is in the next election

manifesto and for the liberal democrats but a huge victory in somerton and frome. again, it is about how they turn those by—election victories into general election success and stop it being another.. ., ~ election success and stop it being another.. ., ,, , ., ., ., election success and stop it being another.. ., ,, ., ., ~ another.. thank you for now. we will talk more politics _ another.. thank you for now. we will talk more politics after— another.. thank you for now. we will talk more politics after 9am - another.. thank you for now. we will talk more politics after 9am this - talk more politics after 9am this morning. thousands of rail workers are on strike again today in their row over pay and conditions. passengers are being warned to check before they travel — as the getaway for the school summer holiday is likely to be disrupted by cancelled services. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. as the school summer holidays get going for millions of people in england and wales, in many places, the trains have come to a halt. today is the latest strike by members of the rmt at 1a train companies, and it's the last day of the current overtime ban by train drivers in the aslef union. the level of disruption will vary around the country. many services will end for the day much earlier than usual. another strike is expected next saturday.

the rmt at the moment seems to be concentrating its strikes more at weekends, so the aim is to affect leisure travel. so today's strike on a saturday and next weekend's again will have a big impact on people who are thinking of taking days out, and there'll be a real skeleton service operating. the drivers' union, aslef, its work to rule, where drivers are refusing to work overtime, is having a longer impact. it's seeing a few services withdrawn by a lot of companies every day. these strikes are happening after progress in the national dispute stalled in april. the rmt says plans to close hundreds of ticket offices have now added to its members' anger. separately, strikes on the london underground, which were scheduled to begin tomorrow, have been called off. the summer getaway is traditionally a busy time on the roads, and the train strike could add to congestion as more people take to their cars instead. the travel association abta thinks over two million british holiday—makers will head overseas this weekend. the port of dover will be under

scrutiny again, after long delays before easter and last summer. the port says it's made changes to ease the queues, but there could still be waits of up to two and a half hours at border controls. after last year's disruption, because of staff shortages, airports and airlines insist they've done as much as possible to ensure things go smoothly, although worries persist about congested european airspace and air traffic control issues. the coming days will be a test at what's expected to be their busiest time since before the pandemic. katy austin, bbc news. from monday, children aged ten and ii will be able to use passport e—gates at the uk border. currently, 12 is the minimum age for using e—gates. the change follows successful trials at airports in london. scientists say they're concerned by the recent run of broken climate records — saying the speed and timing of them is unprecedented.

work is taking place to establish the link to climate change, but scientists already fear some worst—case scenarios are unfolding. our climate reporter georgina rannard reports. sweltering temperatures in spain and dangerous wildfires in greece. millions have struggled through powerful heatwaves around the world in recent days. now scientists are poring over a run of climate records that have not only been broken, but smashed, and alarm bells are ringing. it's true to say that the models, the climate models that we have, do a very good job of predicting the climate system, but in the kind of larger scale. so, the fact that we're seeing the world warming because of greenhouse gases is not unexpected. but seeing some of these records being broken, you know, these marine heatwaves in the north atlantic, the severe decrease in antarctic sea ice was not expected, and it's something that we're going to have to work to try and understand.

and this is why they're worried. for decades, the global average temperature has been getting higher and higher. then, injuly this year, it broke through 17 degrees for the first time. the record for the hottest day on earth fell notjust once, but three times in a week. and it's notjust the [and that's hot. the oceans, which take up most of the world's heat, are seeing unprecedented temperatures. the north atlantic and seas off the uk coast are up to five degrees hotter than average. and there's another worrying abnormality. sea ice in the antarctic is extremely low for the time of year — 10% lower than usual. we know that the planet is warming because of greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere by humans burning oil, coal and gas. the world will also be hotter because of el nino, a powerful, naturally occurring weather pattern that started in june. but scientists say these records constantly being broken are not yet a sign that the climate is in collapse. they say there is time to use the solutions we have to keep the planet as liveable as possible.

georgina rannard, bbc news. a football match in gateshead had to be called off after a funeral hearse and a car were driven onto the pitch. vehicles drove in circles in the centre on the pitch — witnesses say two men, who were masked, then climbed out of the hearse and into the car and left the ground. a new photograph of prince george has been released, to celebrate his tenth birthday today. it is on the front page of many of the papers. the picture shows the young royal — who is second in line to the throne — smiling on a set of steps at windsor. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. the sports fans will be hoping for some sunshine like you have on the picture but it isn't going to happen is it? as if it wasn't stressful enough without the weather coming

into play. i thought i would start with the glass half full, the best of the weather today is in angus in scotland, beautiful start to the morning, blue sky and sunshine but let's take a look at the north—west. the world this morning, rather cloudy and grey, outbreaks of light rain turning heavy as we speak in the last couple of hours. it's likely to stay with you for most of the day because of this area of low pressure pushing in from atlantic. this pizza slices of weather fronts will stay with us for most of the day and if you are underneath those drifting eastwards you will see the wettest weather. this is rainfall accumulation, look around the north west, the green colours, over the weekend some areas could see at least 50—60 millimetres of rain, a couple of inches, just over the next couple of inches, just over the next couple of inches, just over the next couple of days. this is the story with the rain so far today. quite

light and patchy but me starting to see some heavier patches bursting into the north west and if the rain eased says it will stay cloudy and drizzly so whether we get to see significant play for the cricket, subject to question. it is windy as well, to the southern flank of that low, disappointing temperatures for this time of year even with the dry and brightest weather in scotland, there is windy as well, to the southern flank of that low, disappointing temperatures for this time of year even with the dry and brightest weather in scotland, the temperatures of 16 degrees. you have probably already guessed, not optimistic for a significant play at the cricket, and with the golf club will get under way but the streets winds will make that an issue, as if there aren't enough headaches with that course! through this evening and overnight the low pressure continues to drift east, the wind remaining a feature, not great news for those plants in the garden in full bloom, blown all over the place i suspect throughout the night and the rain will sit across the north of england, lingering first thing

tomorrow but we are a little bit more optimistic that the rain will slowly start to ease, gradually drifting steadily eastwards. into the north west of england, into the liverpool area, we see perhaps some brighter skies into the afternoon. sandwiched to the north and south, more in the way of sunshine, one must are 23 degrees, warmer in the south—east corner tomorrow. but if you have outdoor plans to the weekend, it's a dry start to become a repeat performance of the latter stages of tuesday into wednesday so we do not have anything consistent, settled, sunny and warm to come throughout the next seven days! back to you. louise, for a very stressful forecast that was very calmly delivered. i am like a swan, i am very paddling —— paddling very hard

underneath. a very elegant swan! it is almost 17 minutes past eight. a major review of pregnancy loss services in england says women should have access to specialist miscarriage care 2a hours a day, seven days a week. its estimated there are around 500 miscarriages every day in the uk, but many women lose their babies at home, with very little support or pain relief. a warning that there are some graphic descriptions of baby loss in?tulip mazumdar s report, which some viewers may find upsetting. rachel has been documenting her pregnancy journey on tiktok. she suffered four miscarriages. her second was particularly traumatic. it was, unfortunately, i believe, over a weekend period. and so, the advice i was really kind of given was, it seems like you're having another miscarriage, have plenty of bed rest, and take some pain relief if needed,

and kind ofjust wait it out. at one point i went to the bathroom, and as i went and pulled down my underwear, my baby fully intact in its sac with a tiny little placenta, which was literally no bigger than a £2 coin, fell and sat into my underwear. rachel's is sadly not an uncommon story, which is why the review is calling for a miscarriage helpline and 2a hour access to specialist early pregnancy units, developing a container to store the baby's remains if a loss happens at home, and support and advice offered after one miscarriage instead of three. 250,000 women a year experience a miscarriage. in a lot of cases, we can't prevent a miscarriage. but what we can do is try and make that process that women and their partners are going through less traumatic in order to limit the ongoing effects. another key recommendation in this review is to start offering certificates to parents whose babies

die before 2a weeks. at the moment, some families are given little notes, like this one. but from october, the plan is to offer them an official government document to acknowledge their loss. i want to see people stopping having to hit google to find out what care should i be receiving? where should i be going for support? this support should be easily available to every single person, and it should be offered to every person who is suffering. it's notjust the mother who's carrying the child. it needs to be also offered to their partner. the government says it's looking into all 70 recommendations and starting to take action on some of them. a year since her last miscarriage, rachel is now mum to baby thomas. i would love to tell him about the siblings he could have had. i want to educate him that pregnancy and creating life and children isn't

as simple as getting that positive pregnancy test. and it's why i created my tiktok account, to support and make people aware of what can happen and make them not feel alone. tulip mazumdar, bbc news. we'rejoined now by zoe clark—coates, who co—authored the report — along withjessica wharton who lost two babies during early pregnancy last year. thank you both so much for coming in. sorry, you have written the report. you have got first—hand experience in your own life. why do you think it's important this piece of work is done on the recommendations are acted upon. it’s recommendations are acted upon. it's so many —— affecting so many families, _ so many —— affecting so many families, a _ so many —— affecting so many families, a lot of grieving people, families, — families, a lot of grieving people, families, up until now who have had very little _

work for wave hunters surf school. for £100 a week, relatively low paid seasonal workers can live in a spot usually reserved for millionaires. overlooking the beach in polzeath, this house was bought byjohn richardson's grandparents in the 1950s. it's been in the family for 70—odd years now. it's been run as a holiday let in the past. but, i mean, during this kind of housing crisis, we think it's time to kind of step up and do something different with it. most of the residents either work on the beach or in hospitality. facilities are shared and they can stay all year round if they want. we're all seasonal workers or students or whatever. so we're not the richest. and rent down here isjust ridiculous. but here it's very reasonable. last year, some places weren't. able to open because they didn't have the staff, because no—one can afford to be here to work here. we wouldn't have been able to come work down here if it wasn't for the hostel, no chance. further down the coast in newquay

and one of the town's old hotels has been repurposed to provide affordable accommodation. so they've got a fridge, they've got microwaves, toasters, dishwashers. as you can see, there's plenty of open space. this aparthotel opened in april. it has a few rooms which can be booked by holidaymakers, but most of them are given over to locals, who pay between 500 and £700 a month to stay here. and their dogs are welcome, too. basically what it's done, it has given 43 locals the chance a to live and work at an affordable rate, and there should be more places like this around. instead of building the unaffordable homes that we are seeing going up time after time, this is what we should be seeing. belinda and mike were homeless for a year after they were forced to leave the property they'd rented.

they now live at the aparthotel, with belinda employed as the manager. personally, it was a year of emotional stress and the mental, what it does to you mentally, and even moving in here the first few months, even maybe now, i'm still feeling unsettled, because you just don't get over that, do you? it'sjust something that holds into you all the time. we went to every i single estate agent. nothing — we've got nothingl on our books, can't help you. we asked people in l the street, basically — sorry, we don't know anybody with a place for you to rent. i monique, who also runs the food bank in newquay, believes this model of accommodation could be expanded. i think that if our local authority did things like we have done here, it would immediately alleviate the homelessness. we have so many old hotels that are standing empty that could be changed

into an aparthotel. cornwall council said as well as building more council houses, it has bought around 250 properties on the open market to convert into affordable homes. the local authority also said it was buying and refurbishing empty properties, but said second home ownership was having a negative impact on the housing supply for locals. back in polzeath, this hostel has had several unwanted approaches from developers. this sign was once displayed outside the property to put them off. our family is not money—orientated. we don't work that way. my daughter will inherit this house and, you know, and that's how my mother brought me and my brother and sister up. and that's how i'll bring my daughter up. so there's no number that somebody could offer you? no number. ain't happening. have silly numbers been mentioned? yeah. what sort of numbers are we talking about? millions. the main focus needs to be on our local community and workers.

when we lose that, we won't have a village. john danks reporting. it's 833. there is a big weekend of sport but we're starting with the football chat. two hours. as]!!! sport but we're starting with the football chat. two hours.- football chat. two hours. all of that hype _ football chat. two hours. all of that hype and _ football chat. two hours. all of that hype and talk— football chat. two hours. all of that hype and talk that - football chat. two hours. all of that hype and talk that we - football chat. two hours. all of that hype and talk that we got | football chat. two hours. all of - that hype and talk that we got with the lioness is —— lionesses. they might well be european championships but they've had a dip in form. those injuries as well. no beth made and their captain also. but they believe

they are well placed for a good run. it starts with quality and you want the most quality on the pitch. and when there's some experience that helps too. so there's a good balance now between experience and players that have not that much experience, but they will get experience really quickly. for many people england are second favourites to win the world cup behind the united states, who made a winning start overnight. a comfortable 3—0 victory for the holders over vietnam in auckland. not the cricket score that some were expecting. sophia smith, one of 14 players in the squad appearing at their first world cup, scored twice as the us look to win a record third consecutive world title. obviously we came here to win the game and we did that. i thought we played a good game, unfortunately we didn't capitalise on all the opportunities, great opportunities that we created and that's something we are certainly going to focus on in the lead up to the next game. but the first one is in the books and the focus immediately

shifts towards game two. the lowest ranked team at the world cup, zambia, are making their tournament debut — they're currently taking on japan who won the trophy in germany in 2011. they're approaching half time. japan thought they had taken the lead with this effort from tanaka but it was ruled out. japan will be hoping to improve on their performance four years ago, when they were knocked out at the last 16 stage by the netherlands. the match is live right now on bbc two. it's still goalless between japan and zambia at the moment. with two days left to play, england are still on top in their must win fourth ashes test against australia at old trafford. they're going to be frustrated by the weather though with persistent rain forecast today and tomorrow's not looking great

for play either. jonny bairstow leading the way for england on day three, he was left stranded on 99 not out as england finished their innings on 592, a lead of 275 and mark wood's late burst saw him take three wickets meaning australia will resume on 113 for 4, 162 runs behind. but the headlines will be about bairstow, who's form has been questioned at times. he's coming back from a broken leg and dislocated ankle that at one point threatened to end his career. there's obviously been a lot of talk and things like that, some of which i think has been a bit out of order, to be honest. but at the same time that's part and parcel of people that have an opinion and have a say. there's times in which if people had a conversation with you individually and found out a bit more about the injury or the ankle and how everything is going, they might have different view. it's an epic weekend of sport — the weather will be the topic of the day at the open golf too i suspect where the third

round gets underway later. can tommy fleetwood, the man from southport, playing his home major close the gap on the leader brian harman? the american is five shots clear of fleetwood at the top of the leaderboard. ben croucher is at hoylake for us. plenty of major winners missing the cut. tommy fleetwood amongst those who will be trying to play catch up. yes. it's gonna be a fascinating day. july in the north west of england, it wouldn't be the open championship without a little bit of rain. good morning from us. the rain has been falling for a couple of hours. it started to get heavy. the staff here have been working to get conditions in tiptop form for the players. they'll be out in the next

20 minutes or so. they are all trying to catch brian harman, the american. what a round he had yesterday! it was the lowest round of the tournament, he didn't make any bogeys. a great start on the front line and then a fine finish. tommy fleetwood is not totally out of it. he's searching for his major title. he made a monster 59 foot birdie putt. rory mackle roy, he might beat nine shots off the pace but he is hanging on in there. he made a birdie on 18 yesterday and he's one of 24 players who are under par right now. an impressive start

to this tournament. it's a tricky nature, this course. and with conditions like they are today i will expect there will be even more over par by the end of play. rm? over par by the end of play. rory mackle roy. _ over par by the end of play. rory mackle roy, ben, _ over par by the end of play. rory mackle roy, ben, how— over par by the end of play. rory mackle roy, ben, how is he feeling about those conditions? it was wet in 2014 when he won the open there. tommy fleetwood might not mind these commissions too much but it will play a major part? is commissions too much but it will play a major part?— commissions too much but it will play a major part? play a ma'or part? is going to play a hue play a major part? is going to play a huge part- _ play a major part? is going to play a huge part. you'd _ play a major part? is going to play a huge part. you'd expect- play a major part? is going to play a huge part. you'd expect the - a huge part. you'd expect the players who grew up playing in conditions like this that this tournament could play well into their hands. the staff are confident that the course is going to play just fine today. the bunkers are hard enough already. they are very damp indeed. who is this going to favour? when it rains, on a golf

course it makes it very long. this course it makes it very long. this course is already one of the longest on the open championship roster. it's got the longest par four in championship history of 510 yards. don't ask rory mackle roy about these conditions, because he managed to win in conditions like this in 2014. if defending tour de france champion jonas vingegaard makes it through the last mountain stage today, he will secure the yellow jersey and ride into paris tomorrow to be confirmed as the race winner. the danish rider leads by over seven and a half minutes, while britain's adam yates is third overall. stage 19 yesterday was 107 miles long, but slovenia's matej mohoric won it by millimetres, beating denmark's kasper asgreen in a tight photo finish.

he was understandably emotional afterwards, having lost his team—mate last year. i wonder why you told them to stay dry? —— ben. there will be plenty of football fans across the country digging out their england shirts this morning to show their support for the lionesses, as they take on haiti in theirfirst world cup game. but one kit that's not possible to buy is mary earps' goalkeeper jersey. earps, who was named best fifa women s goalkeeper of the year, says it's "hurtful" and "damaging" for girls who want to follow in her footsteps. to talk about this further, we're joined by stoke city women goalkeeper, liz hobson along with kate dale from the this girl can initiative. thank you to you both. what's your view on this row? i thank you to you both. what's your view on this row?—

don't think you can change it but you can bring some positivity. you are definitely a glass half full today. you just can't believe it can you. can you imagine someone planning the wedding injuly but i've managed to find some sunshine for you. the best of the weather today in aberdeenshire. if you've been glued to the cricket then you'll know that the weather has been pretty perfect so far. not quite in the right area but in shropshire you can see the puddles, the rain and this rain is fairly widespread across the country. these frontal systems gradually drifting in and of the atlantic, keeping things very overcast, windy and often wet. if we take a look at where we see the heaviest of the rain, some of it moving away from

the east, that's all going to drift its way steadily eastwards. even if the rain eases off then it's going to be disappointing towards the end ofjuly. insult to injury, gusts of wind of 30—45 mph. top temperature is very disappointing even with the best of the dry weather in scotland, we are only looking at 15—16 c. a great deal of uncertainty about whether there will be any play under way for the fourth test of the ashes series. it's about the wind, i suspect today. blustery winds will make it pretty interesting. as we go through the evening the rain continues, drifting east. a lot of

cloud around, a mild night to come with double figures, 10—15 c and the rain to clear away but it will take its time in doing so. eventually, we should see an improving picture across parts of manchester and down into liverpool and north wales. it will take its time, it will stay cloudy and damp into the afternoon. a lot of cloud around but with some breaks there will be some sunshine, temperatures peaking at 23 celsius. but it could do a lot better for this time of year. monday, into tuesday morning, a breakfrom this time of year. monday, into tuesday morning, a break from this weather but then we are in repeat mode with windy and wet weather, potentially into scotland as well. so, if you're trying to plan your week ahead, showers, longer spells of rain, some dry interludes from time to time but disappointing

temperatures for the end ofjuly. louise, thank you very much. his writing has captured the imagination of millions, from reinventing chitty chitty bang bang, to taking on the mammoth task of writing the london olympic opening ceremony in 2012. now, frank cottrell—boyce is back with a new children's book, which follows two young magicians who go in search of a vanished blackpool tower. frank is here to tell us more. that's a magic trick and a half, isn't it? ., , , ., isn't it? david copperfield made the statue of liberty _ isn't it? david copperfield made the statue of liberty disappear - isn't it? david copperfield made the statue of liberty disappear and - isn't it? david copperfield made the statue of liberty disappear and i - statue of liberty disappear and i imagine what would happen if he could not bring it back? so these kids set out to bring it back for blackpool. kids set out to bring it back for ltiackpool-_ kids set out to bring it back for ltiackpool-— kids set out to bring it back for blackool. ., , ., ., . , blackpool. the irony of magic is that ou blackpool. the irony of magic is that you brought _ blackpool. the irony of magic is that you brought magic - blackpool. the irony of magic is that you brought magic into - blackpool. the irony of magic isj that you brought magic into this book because out of a place of some sadness. �* book because out of a place of some sadness. . . , , , ,

attractions of this tournament. theirfans in brisbane have come from near and far. and they're expecting big things from the lionesses. i think they can win, i really do. and i don't normally say that. i'm like a really pessimistic england fan. but i saw them train last week at the sunshine coast and they look really good. obviously they won the euros, so why not? there is a big british population over here, and we want to make sure that we are supporting them as best we can. we do the cricket, we do the men's sport, so i'm here today with the ladies. the girls will bringl it home, definitely. all the way. you're that confident? yeah, absolutely confident. we're going to have a super tournament and we're - going to have lots of fun, but also, _ they're going to win it. england are here in brisbane as one of the favourites to win the world cup, but there are questions circling sarina wiegman's side. she's without key players through injury and her team have not scored in the last three matches. they will be expected to put that right against haiti. for a country in a state of turmoil, haiti's first world cup offers a rare moment of celebration.

this is a team with talent. still, england are heavy favourites to win, and win comfortably. it's a game we're excited for. it's exciting to play a team you've never played and, you know, see what they bring to the game. it's definitely not an opponent to take lightly, so, yeah, we are definitely switched on and ready for this one. as england get ready to write a new chapter in their history, the message from the fans couldn't be clearer. katie gornall, bbc news, brisbane. jane dougall is at a fan park near the brisbane stadium for us this morning. it's so hard because we are waking up it's so hard because we are waking up here in the uk ready for this game and the sun setting behind you after a really sunny day? yes. game and the sun setting behind you after a really sunny day?— after a really sunny day? yes, i think the _ after a really sunny day? yes, i think the sun _ after a really sunny day? yes, i think the sun has _ after a really sunny day? yes, i think the sun has actually - after a really sunny day? yes, i think the sun has actually gone after a really sunny day? yes, i i think the sun has actually gone to bed, it was so weird because when it is up, it is very warm, it was lovely today, about 22 degrees, sorry to make you jealous but after

5pm our time when the sun goes down it gets really chilly so a lot of people are really chilly, they have rugs and jumpers on, it's quite bizarre and they are gathered around and it's half—time in the first match of the day, the only match, zambia againstjapan, japan leading 1-0 zambia againstjapan, japan leading 1—0 and that's what you can hear the drummers behind me. providing some entertainment at half—time. loads of fans have gathered, especially people who are not able to get tickets to go to the stadium in brisbane so there's a lot of english people, expats who have come over to watch the lionesses and they are gathered with picnics and having drinks and with their family, lovely atmosphere. you probably heard from the england manager how up for this the england manager how up for this the team are, the lionesses have not scored in the last three games but they are playing haiti, their debut in a world cup so england hoping to

get a big score to build confidence. haiti 49 ranks below england in the fifa ranking but they are quite physical so england are expecting a tough match but they will expect to win and i reckon the supporters enjoy all the entertainment so far are you looking forward to a ban as well. wouldn't that be lovely, to get the lionesses onto a great start before they crack on with matches against denmark and china. not long to go now. it against denmark and china. not long to to now. :, , ., :, , to go now. it would be marvellous! thank ou to go now. it would be marvellous! thank you so _ to go now. it would be marvellous! thank you so much! _ here's roger with the rest of the day's news and you are taking a look at the fallout from the by—elections that happened on thursday? absolutely. lots of supposition in the papers today about the way forward for the individual parties. the conservative and labour leaders are both being urged to change tack in response

to the results of thursday's by—elections — in which the three major parties won one seat each. we're joined now by our political correspondent, tony bonsignore. good morning. the conservatives in some papers being told to cut taxes ahead of the general election, labour and the tories being advised to look again at the climate change policy so lots for them to chew over and think about?— and think about? there is. good morninr. and think about? there is. good morning- the — and think about? there is. good morning. the postmortem - and think about? there is. good morning. the postmortem is- morning. the postmortem is continuing after the by—elections and if you read the papers this morning there is clearly an element within the conservative party who looked at what has happened in uxbridge and south ry slip where the tories held on very narrowly and the lesson they want to take what that is the government should think again about its approach to climate change policies especially given the cost of living crisis. perhaps should be a bit more bold of living crisis. perhaps should be a bit more hold in their agenda. it's not clear that's particularly

represented here across the party and we have heard from downing street that the government wants to be sharper on policies we are familiar with. be sharper on policies we are familiarwith. sir be sharper on policies we are familiar with. sir keir starmer is about to give a speech in the next hour or so to the national policy forum, a key part of putting together the policy for the next election, he will be under pressure on a range of issues from debt to child cap on benefits and universal school meals but again, reflecting on that vote in uxbridge and of all the emissions zone, the proposed expansion of it in london, the role played in that. expansion of it in london, the role played in that-— played in that. tony, thank you so much. a major review of pregnancy loss services in england says women should have access to specialist miscarriage care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. its estimated there are around 500 miscarriages every day in the uk, but many women lose their babies at home, with very little support or pain relief. the government says it's looking

into the 70 recommendations. thousands of rail workers are on strike again today in their row over pay and conditions. passengers are being warned to check before they travel — as the getaway for the school summer holiday is likely to be disrupted by cancelled services. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. as the school summer holidays get going for millions of people in england and wales, in many places, the trains have come to a halt. today is the latest strike by members of the rmt at 14 train companies, and it's the last day of the current overtime ban by train drivers in the aslef union. the level of disruption will vary around the country. many services will end for the day much earlier than usual. another strike is expected next saturday. the rmt at the moment seems to be concentrating its strikes more at weekends, so the aim is to affect leisure travel. so today's strike on a saturday and next weekend's again will have a big impact on people who are thinking of taking days out, and there'll be a real

skeleton service operating. the drivers' union, aslef, its work to rule, where drivers are refusing to work overtime, is having a longer impact. it's seeing a few services withdrawn by a lot of companies every day. these strikes are happening after progress in the national dispute stalled in april. the rmt says plans to close hundreds of ticket offices have now added to its members' anger. separately, strikes on the london underground, which were scheduled to begin tomorrow, have been called off. the summer getaway is traditionally a busy time on the roads, and the train strike could add to congestion as more people take to their cars instead. the travel association abta thinks over two million british holiday—makers will head overseas this weekend. the port of dover will be under scrutiny again, after long delays before easter and last summer. the port says it's made changes to ease the queues, but there could still be waits of up to two and a half hours at border controls. after last year's disruption,

because of staff shortages, airports and airlines insist they've done as much as possible to ensure things go smoothly, although worries persist about congested european airspace and air traffic control issues. the coming days will be a test at what's expected to be their busiest time since before the pandemic. katy austin, bbc news. from monday, children aged ten and 11 will be able to use passport e—gates at the uk border. currently, 12 is the minimum age for using e—gates. the change follows successful trials at airports in london. scientists say they're concerned by the recent run of broken climate records — saying the speed and timing of them is unprecedented. work is taking place to establish the link to climate change, but scientists already fear some worst—case scenarios are unfolding. our climate reporter georgina rannard reports.

sweltering temperatures in spain and dangerous wildfires in greece. millions have struggled through powerful heatwaves around the world in recent days. now scientists are poring over a run of climate records that have not only been broken, but smashed, and alarm bells are ringing. it's true to say that the models, the climate models that we have, do a very good job of predicting the climate system, but in the kind of larger scale. so, the fact that we're seeing the world warming because of greenhouse gases is not unexpected. but seeing some of these records being broken, you know, these marine heatwaves in the north atlantic, the severe decrease in antarctic sea ice was not expected, and it's something that we're going to have to work to try and understand. and this is why they're worried. for decades, the global average temperature has been getting higher and higher. then, injuly this year, it broke through 17 degrees for the first time. the record for the hottest day on earth fell notjust once, but three times in a week.

and it's notjust the [and that's hot. the oceans, which take up most of the world's heat, are seeing unprecedented temperatures. the north atlantic and seas off the uk coast are up to five degrees hotter than average. and there's another worrying abnormality. sea ice in the antarctic is extremely low for the time of year — 10% lower than usual. we know that the planet is warming because of greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere by humans burning oil, coal and gas. the world will also be hotter because of el nino, a powerful, naturally occurring weather pattern that started in june. but scientists say these records constantly being broken are not yet a sign that the climate is in collapse. they say there is time to use the solutions we have to keep the planet as liveable as possible. georgina rannard, bbc news. a football match in gateshead had to be called off after a funeral hearse and a car were driven onto the pitch. vehicles drove in circles in the centre on the pitch —

witnesses say two men, who were masked, then climbed out of the hearse and into the car and left the ground. a large section of cliff has collapsed onto a beach on dorset�*sjurassic coast. the landslip happened at seatown beach, the same section of coastline as another collapse in 2021. emergency services warned there was a greater risk of cliff falls due to recent dry weather. that is an astonishing image. time for the weather with louise. i was having a look at the window when we were talking about climate change and it is miserable here. not good for all the sporting events today? roger, it is looking awful and i am desperately dry to find you good news and sunshine. very hard to find

but here is aberdeenshire, the best of the weather today across the north and east of scotland. lots of cloud around and if you have ring, you will know about it. this is the story in shropshire, the rain stay in for some of us most of the day. not boding well for the cricket or golf. it is all because of this low pressure, we have got this pizza wedge of weather fronts and between them is what's known as a broad one sector basically meaning it will be cloudy and damp, drizzly outbreaks of rain on and off through the day and that's pretty much what we have at the moment. there is the first batch of wet weather to the east of the pennines, the next batch pushing into the west and that will move towards the london area. dropping its way eastwards, scotland staying with sunshine into the afternoon, clouding over a touch. the strongest of the winds to the southern flank of the winds to the southern flank of the winds to the southern flank of the low, in the south—west, gusts of the low, in the south—west, gusts of winds up to 40 miles an hour, no

surprises that the temperature is disappointing for the end ofjuly. 16-19 . i disappointing for the end ofjuly. 16—19 . i am disappointing for the end ofjuly. 16—19. i am not optimistic we will see any play for the cricket today, if we are lucky we might but for the gulf, it will be windy. quite a wild affair i suspect with the blustery winds into this afternoon. the strongest winds in the south—west, the wettest of the weather continuing through the night tonight, some areas across north—west england could have as much as a couple of inches of rain before the system clears. heavy rain pushing eastwards. dry but cloudy and milder than it has been in scotland. claudia across the south—east. a grey start wherever you are on sunday, the rain still there across north—west england for a time on sunday. hopefully that will ease towards lunchtime, we will see dry conditions develop so hopefully we will get some play n

for the fourth test match in the cricket on sunday afternoon. top temperatures of 16—19. if we are lucky we could see 23 degrees in the south—east because we could get more in the way of sunshine. many schools are off for the summer holidays, monday into tuesday is quieter and more dry before the next weather front pushes in to the fat north and west bringing further outbreaks of rain at times. blustery winds. the temperature subdued for this time of year. not great news whether you are playing golf this weekend or next week, i am afraid! louise, playing golf this weekend or next week, iam afraid! louise, thank playing golf this weekend or next week, i am afraid! louise, thank you for that. week, i am afraid! louise, thank you forthat. i week, i am afraid! louise, thank you for that. i will see you later. school's out for summer — and millions of people are already on the move, in what's expected to be the busiest period for british holidaymakers since before the pandemic. many will be hoping for a much quicker escape than last year — which was marked by widespread travel disruption. so will things be smoother this time round?

train passengers will face disruption from today, as thousands of rail workers take part in their latest strike. the action will affect 14 train companies across england — impacting services running in scotland and wales. as a result people will opt to drive — the rac estimating 12.6 million cars will take to the roads this weekend alone. drivers are being urged to check their vehicle before setting off — and to take plenty of food and water in case of long delays. over the easter break some were left waiting more than i4—hours at the port of dover. travellers who want to cross the channel have been warned to expect delays of up to two—and—a—half hours this weekend. we'rejoined now by the independent�*s travel correspondent, simon calder, who's there for us this morning. iam i am looking over your shoulder, simon. you tell me what those cues

signify? simon. you tell me what those cues si. ni ? , :, :, simon. you tell me what those cues sirni ? :, ., signify? good morning. that si . nifies signify? good morning. that signifies a — signify? good morning. that signifies a queue _ signify? good morning. that signifies a queue of - signify? good morning. that signifies a queue of about i signify? good morning. that| signifies a queue of about 90 minutes, and that is for passport control. this goes back to the democratic decision to leave the european union and to become a third country and that means instead of waving your passport as you drive past, the french passport officials must go through the whole thing, they have to stamp it, they should check, there's more than 190 days, that multiplies the amount of time it takes. and that is why both at easter and indeed on this corresponding weekend last year we saw those dreadful queues building up. of course since then the port of dover has been working to increase the number of frontier posts, decided to have a hard eu border in south—east kent so that's quite challenging, not much space between the white cliffs and the channel so things are rather cramped. but we

are right in the middle of the busiest morning of the year. they reckon there will be 3100 cars passing through, around 13 every minute and as a result, the queues are building up. however, it is not like when you are flying and you are held up in the queue, this is very simply if you missed the ferry, because you've been waiting for an hour and a half or longer you will find they will pop you on the next ferry. no fuss and no cost. i am ferry. no fuss and no cost. i am heafina ferry. no fuss and no cost. i am hearing some — ferry. no fuss and no cost. i am hearing some frustrated - ferry. no fuss and no cost. i am hearing some frustrated beeping behind you, unsurprisingly. we have had a rail strike so that is affecting travel? it had a rail strike so that is affecting travel? it certainly is. more pressure _ affecting travel? it certainly is. more pressure on _ affecting travel? it certainly is. more pressure on the - affecting travel? it certainly is. more pressure on the roads . affecting travel? it certainly is. - more pressure on the roads today. 13 days of strike action by members of the rmt union in a long—running dispute over pay, working

conditions, all of the train operators english, scott rowe, transport for wales not affected although some other trains will be busier than usual because anglo scottish and anglo welsh railway will not be running but the train drivers union aslef is on the last day of its overtime ban. all in all, thousands of trains cancelled, actually quite a lot of services running on the key intercity routes and around the big cities. but the message from the rail industry is please check before you travel that you will actually be able to make yourjourney because lots of the trains that are running or shutting down at around 7pm tonight. ififiluick down at around 7pm tonight. quick word on air — down at around 7pm tonight. quick word on air travel, _ down at around 7pm tonight. quick word on air travel, becoming much more expensive, passengers are noticing but they are still flying? they certainly are. abta travel association reckons to me and people travelling away this weekend, some tens of thousands here at dover but

most people will be flying. looking at the skies, really tough for a lot of people coming in specially to gatwick and manchester late last night. many of them ended up getting down in the early hours of the morning, a reflection of the congestion in the skies yesterday, yesterday was the busiest day since 2019 across european skies, lots of air traffic control delays. the day has not started too badly but if you are looking at the weather forecast and think are great, i would love to get away, he warned. prices are going through the roof. the last seat on the final easyjet flight from gatwick to malaga sold for £312 and if you want to go to the south of france on wednesday with ryanair, a flight of less than two hours, thatis a flight of less than two hours, that is £320 last time i checked! airlines making up for all those

lost times during the pandemic and thatis lost times during the pandemic and that is of course because we are trying to make up time for lost time as well! simon, always really good to speak you. thank you. it is 23 minutes past nine. we're going to introduce you to a young girl called beatrix now. she spent the first two years of her life in living in hospital, being kept alive by an artificial heart. now though, after more than a year on the organ donor waiting list, she has a real one, and she's finally back home with her mum and dad. alison freeman has been to see how she's getting on. you've seen the doggy? yeah. a doggy? yeah. enjoying a walk in the park like any other child. but up until now, little beatrix's life has been anything but normal. the last time we saw the two—year—old, she'd reached a difficult milestone. she'd spent half her life in hospital, waiting for a heart transplant, a machine keeping her alive. but that changed when the family got

a phone call saying a donor heart had become available. in that moment, it was just a really strong feeling that this is beatrix's chance, this is her chance to have a normal life outside of this hospital. and i think that's what i grasped on to. and that's what... that's what stayed with us for that 24 hours isjust this is her chance to go home. but underlying that, there was a thought of, this could be our last morning with beatrix. these could be our last hours with her. she's facing a massive operation with lots of risks. absolutely petrifying when you think about it. beatrix had been attached to a berlin heart, which did the work her own couldn't. the operation meant she finally got her freedom back. no pipes. terry and cheryl have experienced the pain of being a donorfamily, too, having lost a daughter isabelle in late pregnancy. they made the difficult decision

to donate her heart to research. obviously, there's a lot of sadness that comes as a by—product of this. but what has this meant to your lives? it's called the gift of life for a reason. and they have enabled beatrix to have the hope of a future. we don't know what her life's going to bring her. it all rests on the decision that that family made. every second of her life moving forward is down to them and their courage. and that's the power of organ donation, because it ripples outwards and hopefully onwards for a long time to come. i can understand an overwhelming desire to close my front door and never speak about organ donation awareness ever again, because ijust am desperate for family life to return to normal. however, there's two little girls on that ward who are waiting for their chance. and how can we close the door behind us knowing that there are other children waiting?

if you have the opportunity to save lives, what greater legacy can there possibly be? she looks bright as a button now. yeah. yeah! can you believe what's happened? i was looking back at photographs just in the days before we got the call, and i said to terry beatrix wasn't thriving any more. you could see how grey she was. she looked absolutely exhausted. and that is a scary thing, and how close she could have been to the end of her life. and then you look at her now and she's pink and she's mischievous and noisy and feisty and throws a really great tantrum. and the difference that you can make to somebody has just unbelievable. in the space of a few weeks, bee's been given that chance. alison freeman, bbc news, newcastle.

it is always interesting in a case like that that the new lease of life for beatrix has been given because anotherfamily for beatrix has been given because another family have had the courage to come forward. this is breakfast. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. good morning. how are you. i am actually hungry, i have had just one breakfast today, i am your planning today. i always had to breakfast! really? what time is your first one. it is porridge and raisins. send really? what time is your first one. it is porridge and raisins.— it is porridge and raisins. and for this ou it is porridge and raisins. and for this you next _ it is porridge and raisins. and for this you next one? _ it is porridge and raisins. and for this you next one? scrambled i it is porridge and raisins. and for. this you next one? scrambled eggs mushrooms. you can tuck it away, ?

it's now approaching 9:32am. two mothers, whose daughters lives were tragically cut short after they were murdered by their ex—boyfriends, have come together to fight for tougher sentencing. 24—year—old poppy devey waterhouse and i7—year—old ellie gould were both killed in their homes. but domestic homicide carries a shorter sentence to other murders, something their families want to change. our home and social affairs correspondent fiona lamdin reports. two mothers united by two hideous crimes and a deep desire to change the law. both their daughters were murdered in their homes by their ex—boyfriends. poppy devey waterhouse was 2a, ellie gould was 17. you take a knife out into the park and stab somebodyjust once, it's a starting point of 25 years. if you brutally murder somebody in the home, stabbing them multiple, multiple times, it's a starting point of 15 years.

so this consultation is looking at closing that ten year gap. ellie was at home doing a—level revision. poppy was in bed. i think their unprovoked attacks and these domestic homicides have to be seen in the same light and given the same respect, and stop diminishing the lives of those women that are taken that way. these are very dangerous men. the government has said it's now consulting on changing this, which would level up the ten year gap. carole and julie hope this new step may mean fairer sentences. you've both worked incredibly hard. it's been over a four yearjourney to get to this point? you know, why it's been left to us when everyone we've met have said, "it's not working, you're right", i don't know. you know, i had to, before coming to the interview, i kissed a box of ashes before i came here today and thought, why is it us that's having to do this? we don't want to be doing this,

but it seems to be mothers that change the law. look at this one killed by herjealous ex—boyfriend. i mean, there's not even a picture of this. in the last three months, these are just some of the names and faces of women who've been killed at home. carole and julie hope this new step will mean fairer sentences. the law may change, but it will be too late for ellie and poppy. it's bittersweet. but out of something so dreadful, all we can do is try and make a difference for others. i think poppy would be very proud. at school she was voted the student most likely to change the world. she had that ripped away from her. all i can do is try and do this in in her place. fiona lamdin, bbc news. today's front pages

are dominated by the results of thursday's three by—elections — which saw the conservatives lose two seats, and cling on to another. labour triumphed in selby and ainsty, while the lib dems took somerton and frome. but the tories did hold on in uxbridge and south ruislip, byjust a few hundred votes. so what does this mean for the party going forward? let's ask two westminster—watchers — jane merrick from inews and george parker of the financial times. good morning to you both and thanks for taking the time to speak to us this morning. jane, to you first. what is your take on where this leaves them moving forward? i what is your take on where this leaves them moving forward? i think all three elections _ leaves them moving forward? i think all three elections show— leaves them moving forward? i think all three elections show that - leaves them moving forward? i think all three elections show that the i all three elections show that the conservatives are more likely than not to lose the next election. all the focus has been on uxbridge but selby and somerton show that labour

can make inroads into new territory in the north as well as reclaiming the redwall seats that were lost in 2019 and also that the lib dems can open up a western front in their blue wool strategy which has been focused on the home counties. caveat of the by—elections mean it's often unusual but all the focus has been on uxbridge because it suits the conservatives can make it more divisive on labour�*s green issues. what does this mean when it comes to labour�*s strategy for the home counties to greater london, if the green zones are such an issue? it comes and goes in terms of the news focus when inflation figures are out but it bites the people and this

ulez scheme is an issue despite high temperatures in europe and the rest of the world, the extension of ulez without explaining why it's not affordable, it's led to a disconnect with labour and they have not been able to capitalise on a shift away from the tories because people are not understanding why green policies matter. they need to be affordable. george, what's your take on the fallout from thursday? i george, what's your take on the fallout from thursday?- george, what's your take on the fallout from thursday? i agree with jane that fallout from thursday? i agree with jane that you _ fallout from thursday? i agree with jane that you step _ fallout from thursday? i agree with jane that you step back _ fallout from thursday? i agree with jane that you step back from i fallout from thursday? i agree with jane that you step back from this i jane that you step back from this and the — jane that you step back from this and the two results dominating realty— and the two results dominating really worthy results from somerton and and _ really worthy results from somerton and and selby in yorkshire because these _

game kicks off in brisbane, australia. the lionesses might be european champions they've had a dip in form in recent months and several high names are missing — including captain leah williamson, beth mead and fran kirby. in the's world cup journey begins now. haiti, making their debut, are this morning's opponents. sarina weigman's side are expected to win comfortably but the england manager is taking nothing for granted. of course, we have a team analysing our opponents. we've never played them so we have to experience that. we've been very well prepared. i

don't think there's any stone unturned in preparation for this game. unturned in preparation for this came. ~ �* ., unturned in preparation for this came. �* ., unturned in preparation for this came. ~ �* ., . , ., game. we've got life commentary on bbc five live- — game. we've got life commentary on bbc five live. england _ game. we've got life commentary on bbc five live. england are _ game. we've got life commentary on bbc five live. england are second i bbc five live. england are second favourites behind the united states who made a winning start overnight. a comfortable 3—0 victory for the holders over vietnam in auckland. not the cricket score that some were expecting. sophia smith, one of 11; players in the squad appearing at their first world cup, scored twice as the us look to win a record third consecutive world title. obviously we came here to win the game and we did that. i thought we played a good game, unfortunately we didn't capitalise on all the opportunities, great opportunities that we created and that's something we are certainly going to focus on in the lead up to the next game. but the first one is in the books and the focus immediately shifts towards game two.

the lowest ranked team at the world cup, zambia, are making their tournament debut — and they're currently struggling againstjapan who won the trophy in germany in 2011. there's about 15 minutes to go. japan had a goal ruled out early on but finally made the breakthrough with this effort. the pick of them was probably this one from endo which made it 4— nil — great team move ..the japansese hoping to improve on their performance four years ago, when they were knocked out at the last 16 stage by the netherlands. it's an epic weekend of sport — but the weather will play a major part. before we talk cricket lets turn our attention to the open golf where tommy fleetwood, the man from southport, playing his home major on merseyside

is hoping to close the gap on the leader brian harman. ben croucher is at hoylake for us. good morning, then. the weather is going to play a major part. thea;r good morning, then. the weather is going to play a major part.— going to play a ma'or part. they are a hardy bunch — going to play a major part. they are a hardy bunch here _ going to play a major part. they are a hardy bunch here in _ going to play a major part. they are a hardy bunch here in the _ a hardy bunch here in the north—west. there are loads of marshalls out on the course and they are wearing shorts so how bad can this weather be. we've got 53 members of the green keepers association around the course making sure the bunkers are properly raked. they've got no concerns about the weather. they say this course is going to play absolutely fine. it's gonna make the rough very tricky. we've seen a few players hacking out

of those. the greens are going to be tricky trying to get the pace of those parts, with the likes of rory mcllroy and tommy fleetwood. this may play into the hands of the longer hitters but for the spectators, it could be a little bit miserable through saturday and indeed sunday. ran; miserable through saturday and indeed sunday.— miserable through saturday and indeed sunda . ., , a , indeed sunday. rory mcllroy playing, tommy fleetwood _ indeed sunday. rory mcllroy playing, tommy fleetwood having _ indeed sunday. rory mcllroy playing, tommy fleetwood having a _ indeed sunday. rory mcllroy playing, tommy fleetwood having a good i indeed sunday. rory mcllroy playing, i tommy fleetwood having a good season but having to sleep on this lead. the pressure very much on his shoulders. the pressure very much on his shoulders-— the pressure very much on his shoulders. ~ , , �*, ., ., shoulders. absolutely. it's going to be fascinating _ shoulders. absolutely. it's going to be fascinating to _ shoulders. absolutely. it's going to be fascinating to see _ shoulders. absolutely. it's going to be fascinating to see how _ shoulders. absolutely. it's going to be fascinating to see how he i shoulders. absolutely. it's going to be fascinating to see how he copes| be fascinating to see how he copes with that pressure of a major championship. 132 shots taken. in 2006 when tiger woods won it and in 2014 when rory mcllroy won it here they both shot 132 shots of the two

away from the win that would level the series — but the weather forecast this weekend may well dampen their spirits asjoe wilson reports. what lay behind jonny bairstow�*s innings was the need for england to set up a match winning position. his 99 not out accelerated the total to 590 to a lead of 275. some of the hitting even ben stokes couldn't quite believe. but bairstow also channelled frustration. he's aware of criticism of his wicket—keeping in particular, he's on the comeback from a very serious leg break. of course, to be ten months still now ten months post—operation from that when you're told that you might not walk properly again, never mind run again or play professional sport. i'm immensely proud of the determination that i've shown and commitment to get back. now, when it comes to australia's second innings, the man who's made the difference here so far for england is the man who's made

the difference in the series. he was too quick for usman khawaja. he was too rapid for steve smith. another faint touch and a catch byjonny bairstow. again, travis head could only fend this delivery off to ben duckett. nowjust give mark wood a little bit of sunshine over the weekend and he could do the rest. just six more wickets for england to take. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. rain expected for most of the day at old trafford. looking slightly better for tomorrow.- old trafford. looking slightly better for tomorrow. fans will be kee - in: better for tomorrow. fans will be keeping their— better for tomorrow. fans will be keeping their fingers _ better for tomorrow. fans will be keeping their fingers crossed. i if defending tour de france champion jonas vingegaard makes it through the last mountain stage today, he will secure the yellow jersey and ride into paris tomorrow to be confirmed as the race winner. the danish rider leads by over seven and a half minutes, while britain's adam yates is third overall. stage 19 yesterday was 107 miles

long, but slovenia's matej mohoric won it by millimetres, beating denmark's kasper asgreen in a tight photo finish. it's all about weather watch. cricket, football. goal. i think the phase today will be, "i was going to the cricket today." it's going to be drizzly, grey and damp. talking about the joys of summer? it's really frustrating because i've been glued to the ashes tournament and i really don't want to come down the weather. but this is the problem,

this frontal system moving eastward so so far this morning we've seen one batch of wet weather, now east of the pennines but look at this clump moving through the north west, moving across wales. we will see pulses of rain moving eastward through the afternoon. staying cloudy, damp and drizzly. scotland will have some lovely sunshine this morning. a few isolated showers but dry and bright, clouding over it eventually. top temperatures 16 celsius, really down on where they should be for this time of year because of the cloud, wind and rain. we are not that optimistic about significant play today for the cricket but for the gulf, windy and blustery. these winds will feature

through this evening where we will see a pulse of very wet weather across northern ireland, wales and the west of england. some areas could have had some inches of rainfall. tomorrow morning, grey and wet. we are confident, fingers crossed so i'm hoping i don't have to eat my words, that this rain will ease away, brighter skies and we should get to see some play for the cricket tomorrow. back to you. thank you, louise. if it's raining everywhere, we don't feel too bad. he describes himself as 'a struggling stand—up comedian — who struggles to stand up', but this year — lee ridley, or 'lost voice guy�* as he's better known — will be taking part in the great north run. i'm sure you know him from x factor. i'm sure you know him from x factor. lee, who has cerebral palsy,

will be pushed around the half—marathon course in his wheelchair, with the help of friends. our reporter, jeff brown has been to meet him. it all began as a joke among friends, which is, of course, lee ridley�*s speciality. but now he's committed to tackling the 13.2 miles from newcastle to south shields on behalf of the smile for life north east children's charity, of which he's a proud patron. voice synthesiser: i think it's something that every geordie i has to do at some point in their life. it's such an amazing event for the region and i'm excited to be part of that. obviously i won't be running myself because i can hardly walk. never mind run. i'm also quite lazy. in fact, if laziness was a sport, i'd come in fourth so i wouldn't need to walk up to the podium. so i am having some friends push me in my wheelchair instead and i promise to lay off the chocolate buttons until after the race! the launch event took place at the charity's tearoom

at newcastle's ouseburn farm, where britain's got talent winner lee is a regular and an inspiration. we support children and young people with disabilities, both learning difficulties and physical disabilities, and we empower them to live their best life. we've met lee a good number of years ago now. he's a great role model for our young people doing what exactly what we try and encourage them to do, which is reach for their goals and with the right support, they can achieve them. and look what lee's done. there's no barriers here, and our young people are empowered to achieve whatever they dream of. when people do the great north run, they always want a personal best time. so how long do you think it's going to take them to get you around the course? i'm not saying that i don't trust my friends to push me around the course, but i'm like, wear a crash helmet. just in case. to be honest, i'lljust be glad to cross the finish line still in one piece. geoff brown, bbc news.

england are hoping to go one step further this summer and win the women's world cup for the first time. one of the star players hoping to help them achieve that is lucy bronze, the only player in the squad with more than 100 caps for her country. our reporter sarah rogers is at alnwick town football club, where it all began for lucy. this is where it began for lucy. we've had our bacon butty and we are into enthusiastic flag—waving. just a short while now until the first kick—off for the lionesses. are we
