with a game to spare. confusing and unrealistic — criticism over food labels that fail to clearly inform shoppers about portion sizes. homebuyer demand drops by nearly a fifth in just a month as rising mortgage rates dent the property market. i'll look at how long it may last. there are warnings to stay away from sick and _ there are warnings to stay away from sick and dying birds as the bird flu outbreak— sick and dying birds as the bird flu outbreak continues, especially along coastlines _ outbreak continues, especially along coastlines like here in pembrokeshire. good morning. away from the world cup, england need wickets in the fifth and final ashes test. australia took plenty on the opening day, bowling england out inside 55 overs at the oval. and good morning. not a bad day weather_ and good morning. not a bad day weather wise today. a lot of cloud around _ weather wise today. a lot of cloud around this — weather wise today. a lot of cloud around this morning but we will see

increase from there. they're european champions, they're the best in europe. they can beat denmark easily. what do you think the score is going to be? 0-0. goals have been in short supply for england recently. a georgia stanway penalty was enough to see them past haiti but they've not scored in open play since april. we want to get in our rhythm and that's what we showed a couple of times in that haiti game. we want more of that. so we said we're going to keep the ball at moments we really are in the build—up and then we want to create chances. soon, england's players will have their chance at the sydney football stadium. beat denmark here and the last 16 will be in touching distance. who starts and who sits on the bench is the big question facing this england team? serena weigman is notorious for not changing a winning side. but, after a sluggish performance in their opening game, england could really do with sparking into life here in sydney. as for denmark, they're

back at a world cup for the first time in 16 years. in striker pernille harder they have one of the game's great talents and someone who knows england well, having played alongside millie bright at chelsea. she's tough, she's like i say, goes 110% into everything she does. it will be difficult but i'll do everything i can do to also make it difficult for her. england will have a plan to deal with harder but they're not giving anything away. inside their base camp, they've been finalising preparations. those expecting wholesale changes might be disappointed. i do think serena will probably stick with the same team and start with alessia russo up top again because she just likes like continuity, i think. they found a way, they got a result. the mood in the camp is upbeat. soon we'll find out who has made the cut against denmark, but can they stamp their name on this tournament? katie gornall, bbc news, sydney.

disabled passengers double to fly from the uk, the bbc has found. that's despite uk and european guidance urging companies to help with the costs. campaigners say the rules are discriminatory and mean they are in effect charged double when they fly from british airports. a police force which returned a shotgun certificate to a man, just weeks before he committed one of the uk's worst mass shootings, still needs to make improvements. 22—year—old jake davison shot and killed four people in plymouth, in august 2021. the police watchdog says that, since then, devon and cornwall police has significantly improved firearms licensing practices — but still needs to tackle a backlog in processing applications. the owners of a hotel in south wales destined to house asylum—seekers have secured a temporary high court injunction against protesters.

in regular demonstrations, people have chained themselves to the ground and dumped large rocks outside the stradey park hotel in carmarthenshire. despite now being barred from the site, concerned residents have vowed to continue their fight against the plans. there are reports this morning that 2,000 asylum seekers could be housed in large tents under plans by the home secretary to avoid using hotels for migrants. more than 14,000 people have made unauthorised crossings this year. let's get the latest on this from our political correspondent, jonathan blake, now. jonathan, it really does underline that controversy around what facilities are in place for those who come here illegally. morning, it certainly does- _ who come here illegally. morning, it certainly does. we _ who come here illegally. morning, it certainly does. we understand - who come here illegally. morning, it| certainly does. we understand tents, marquees, have been bought by the home office. as to where and when they will be used, that is not clear this morning. we do know the government has been spending large amounts of money, up to £7 million a day, housing migrants in hotels.

that is not sustainable in the longer term and they have been looking for alternatives. holiday camps have been largely willed out. former military bases in lincolnshire and essex and the stockholm barge down in dorset. this may well be part of that approach. rishi sunak has of course made stopping the boats coming across the channel one of his political priorities. it is proving difficult to achieve in practice. numbers for june were the highest for that month on record. just yesterday the government faced a ruling in the high court which said its practice of housing and accompany children seeking asylum in hotels to be unlawful and now this potential problem over the summer when higher numbers are expected to come and it is unclear whether the accommodation the government has in mind is going to be ready. sojust another example really of how difficult this problem

is proving to sell.— is proving to sell. absolutely. thank yom — across europe, hundreds of firefighters are continuing to tackle wildfires across europe, which have forced thousands of people to evacuate. the blazes come as leading scientists warned july is "virtually certain" to be the world's warmest month on record. our reporter bethany bell is in rhodes, where a state of emergency was declared early this week. some of those record temperatures starting to ease a little. what does it mean for those buyers? yes. starting to ease a little. what does it mean for those buyers? yes, that temperatures _ it mean for those buyers? yes, that temperatures are _ it mean for those buyers? yes, that temperatures are a _ it mean for those buyers? yes, that temperatures are a little _ it mean for those buyers? yes, that temperatures are a little bit - it mean for those buyers? yes, that temperatures are a little bit lower l temperatures are a little bit lower than they had been in previous days. as you can see, the wind has picked up as you can see, the wind has picked up today. that of course is of concern to the firefighters. you can imagine small sparks of flame can easily be spread when there is a win. overall in greece, several areas, several regions including crete, the area around athens and

the peloponnese are on high alert forfires the peloponnese are on high alert for fires today. the greek prime minister has said this country really has to improve its firefighting and fire protection measures and also step up its fight against climate change. yesterday evening there were explosions in one area and the greek mainland where, near an ammunition depot belonging to the air force. they had to evacuate that area. fortunately no one was injured there. this has really been a very, very difficult period for people in greece. yesterday, one funeral was held for a firefighting pilot, who died earlier this week on the island of abia and anotherfuneral earlier this week on the island of abia and another funeral of a second pilot will be held today. —— island of evia.

consumers are struggling to work out how much sugar, fat and salt they are consuming because of confusing food packaging. research by the watchdog "which?" found, when asked to estimate how many servings were contained in popular supermarket products, many got it wrong. our reporter, graham satchell, has been out in london seeing if shoppers are finding it easy tojudge portion sizes for themselves. how closely do you read the labeling on food? would you know, for example, the recommended portion size wn for pringles or quality street or halloumi? how many portions do you think there are in that pack of halloumi? i think halloumi is probably... i think there's many more than i would guess. yeah. so you would have maybe four. hmm. three at a push. how many portions do you reckon there are in this box of pringles?

0h. 100. 100 portions. i can eat the whole of that! i do love a quality street. i do like the old toffees! do you know how many quality street you are meant to have? the recommended amount you're meant to have in one sitting? um, no. not that many. i would have said maybe six. six in one go? yeah. what would your guess be? probably three. which is close. for the record, the label says the recommended serving for quality street is two. a tub of pringles is meant to be five or six portions and 250 grams of halloumi is meant to serve approximately eight. in a survey today, the consumer group which? found portion information on food packaging, can be confusing, inconsistent and unrealistic. it says nutrition labelling is valuable for customers, but it needs to be based on meaningful and consistent portion sizes. the food and drink federation told us they're committed to providing clear and accurate information and a range of portion sizes are available to help consumers

achieve a healthy, balanced diet. to sit down and eat quality street, i can't imagine it. would you like one? no, thank you. back on the street, we met this man who has prunes for breakfast, sardine salad for lunch and banana and yoghurt for dinner. i'm 82 and i feel really fit. i mean, you don't look 82. my god, you look incredible. well, recommend my diet. thank you, sir. bye— bye. graeme satchell, bbc news. he is 82! hard to believe, isn't it? only a compliment. apparently he has prunes and sardines. a good diet. sounds perfect to me. not very interesting! you don't have to have it all the time. you have a staple in your day, don't you? yes. there you go. doesn't make you boring and does it? i have courage and add so

much other stuff to it that makes it so unhealthy as well. portion sizing is really interesting. you try to kid yourself you are being healthy and it is actually full of sugar and way more than you should be having. you look at the label on the front and it tells you it is 50 calories but by the time you have finished the entire packet, it is 200. we are going to make portion size discussion is much more interesting later on. it is a really important issue! sarah, you look fascinated by this discussion. how are you doing? i am off to the canteen to get some prunes and sardines for lunch as well. not a bad day weather wise. we start with a fair amount of cloud. the sunshine is breaking holes in the cloud already. this is a picture in nottinghamshire this morning. more blue sky breaking through. after a subtle spell of weather we

have seen, today when you have something drier and brighter. some sunshine today. many of us will miss the showers. not as frequent or heavy than we have seen of late. this area of low pressure will go east. today we are in between weather systems. east. today we are in between weathersystems. enjoy east. today we are in between weather systems. enjoy the weather. a peaceful, quiet sort of day weather wise. a peaceful, quiet sort of day weatherwise. if a peaceful, quiet sort of day weather wise. if you showers in the south of england in the morning. one or two for scotland, northern england and northern ireland as well. in between the showers, some sunshine breaking through. he will be fairly unlikely to catch one. they are moving through very quickly. temperatures round about 17 to 24. not doing too badly. it will feel fairly pleasant today. the fifth test continues at the oval. the small chance of a very quick passing shower. predominantly dry, 22, 23. into the evening hours we will start to see the wind picking

up will start to see the wind picking up from the west. more showers in northern ireland going into the west of britain and heavy showers in east anglia and the south—east. an unsettled weekend with some sunshine, plenty of frequent showers, especially in the north and north—west. showers, especially in the north and north-west— north-west. thank you. we will see ou later. if you're hoping to sell your house, there is some potential bad news this morning. new figures show how rising mortgage rates have led to a big fall in demand. unsurprisingly, really. hannah's looking at this for us. so many people say, this is too much. it is so tough to get on the housing ladder. things are really difficult at the moment. yes, there's been a lot of concern over those rising mortgage costs and new research today shows the impact its having

on the housing market. the number of people looking to buy a property is down by nearly a fifth since last month. and down 40% — not far off half — compared to last year. but the impacts are not the same across the country with prices falling more in the south of england and properties worth more than £300,000 could be more exposed to falls in their value. we spoke to dave, who has recently remortgaged his house in solihull. he doesn't want to sell his family home but will struggle to afford the new monthly payments. our previous mortgage was £1300. the new deat— our previous mortgage was £1300. the new deal is— our previous mortgage was £1300. the new deal is £1900. my salary is £2100 _ new deal is £1900. my salary is £2100 a — new deal is £1900. my salary is £2100 a month. that's paying the mortgage — £2100 a month. that's paying the mortgage. that is it. my salary pays the mortgage. plus my travel to and from work. — the mortgage. plus my travel to and from work, that is it. we live on my

first time buyers 40—year mortgages. and renting isn't any easier. just this week, the bbc reported that every available property now has on average more than 20 people competing for it, with rental costs soaring as well. so all eyes will be on the bank of england next week when they make another decision on interest rates. ben and naga. those interest rates not predicted to going back to where we are used to going back to where we are used to them being. clearly going through a massive period of readjustment. on the front pages this morning, as we've heard already, the times reports the home secretary suella braverman has bought large tents to accommodate up to 2,000 migrants on disused military sites by the end of next month as part of emergency plans to avoid costly last—minute hotel bookings. the telegraph leads with comments by former prime minister sir tony blair,

who says britain should "play its part" when it comes to tackling climate change. and the daily mirror reveals recycled clothes from the uk are being dumped in ghana. it says this is because many items donated are so cheaply made that they can't be reused. and this picture has appeared in some of the papers this morning. this story of determination. when ou want this story of determination. when you want to _ this story of determination. when you want to capture _ this story of determination. when you want to capture these - this story of determination. when you want to capture these moments you want to capture these moments you definitely should. this is harpist siobhan brady and her father sean at the summit of mount kilimanjaro. siobhan hiked 19,000 feet up the mountain to complete her guinness world record attempt for the highest altitude harp performance. just in case you were wondering what that wooden triangle was. it kind of looks as if it is melded into the

sign. that is the base of the harbour. she performed at the top of kilimanjaro and has described it as an unforgettable experience. you might want to carry snacks, provisions, tents, things like that. i was thinking about the acoustics, how beautiful it may have sounded. do you think the sound carries across the mountains? seen anything inside? i am across the mountains? seen anything inside? iam not across the mountains? seen anything inside? i am not convinced this stuff is very good but i'm going to tell you about it anyway. it says less than five minutes of daily chores can reduce the risk of some major diseases by up to a third. he doesn't do that? it says upping the intensity of daily tasks. i think it needs to be quite vigorous hoovering or something. needs to be quite vigorous hoovering orsomething. notjust needs to be quite vigorous hoovering or something. not just strolling around. i vigorously dust. you

polish! i am channelling the queen you want to break free video. the whole thing! you are not convinced! 23 minutes past six is the time. three brothers who were busking to raise money to buy themselves new instruments, had a change of heart when they heard about a big issue seller who lost her dog in an accident. rebecca, who was homeless, was devastated when her collie poppy was killed in december in sidmouth in devon. but the band of brothers came to her rescue. eve watson has the story. from day one, she was just my rock. rebecca's dog, poppy, died after it was hit by a car last december. amazing dog. loyal, loved other people over dogs. she was a rock for me when sleeping in a tent. so just great to be around, really. poppy had been her therapy dog

while she was homeless. when i lost her, it was a very big shock. stayed in my room. couldn't even talk about it at the time. but help came from an unlikely source. three brothers from sidmouth. dan. casey. buddy. when our dad came to us and said, like, about a lady losing her dog, and then we found and then told us that she lives in a hostel and that like she can't afford to get a new one, we asked dad if we could, like, save up to buy her one. and £450 of busked money later, the boys had enough to buy her a new dog. thank you. this is rebecca's new dog, rainbow. and how did it make you feel seeing her react to receiving the dog? great. because, like, that - meant so much to her, and she found it so hard to, like, live without her dog. l like, she really needed another one. glad that she had another dog. glad that she had someone

to hug and be with. - very proud of them. it's always nice to see your children giving back. everyone's been so giving to them for the couple of years they've been busking. it's nice that acknowledge acknowledge that people are giving to them. they can give back as well. and it's a nice achievement for them as well. what was your reaction when you when you saw rainbow for the first time? when i saw the kids at the door, i was like, what are they doing here? and then i spotted them holding the little puppy. and ijust knew then, it was just... i broke down in tears straightaway. so, yeah, it'sjust overwhelming. incredible. absolutely amazing children. that report was by eve watson. good human nature helping other

people out. also when you lose something as precious as you dog, you cannot help but be made. incredible story. loved showing you that story this morning. another thing we want to show you this morning is where we will take you later. this is freshwater west beach in pembrokeshire. a little rugged and wild, a little grey this morning. we'll be hearing how cases of bird flu are on the rise, meaning dead birds are washing up on shores like these. our reporter is there to explain things you might need to know if you are heading out for a walk this weekend what you might need to avoid to make sure you don't come into contact or make the problem worse. that too come plus plenty more. wherever you are this morning, find out what is happening with news, weather and travel. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. complaints by students against major

london universities have soared, according to research by the bbc. issues faced include problems with grades, accommodation and unhappiness with online teaching since the pandemic. complaints to the official body, the office of the independent adjudicator for higher education, have risen to the highest level in four years. i've had lecturers not turn up with no notice. there's been lecturers who've gone on strike for weeks on end. i've had marking delayed for months up until, you know, into end of the next term, and i'm still waiting for my marks from the previous term and nothing's gone ahead. luckily, i've had my grade four graduation now, but i've had friends who have just received a certificate of completion, and essentially that means they don't have their final grade when they graduate, and that's really hard for them to then find employment. if you're heading to luton airport there's a warning you could face disruption due to a strike by car park staff. members of the unite union are walking out today and on tuesday in a dispute over pay. the action includes valet parking

staff and bus drivers who take people to the terminals. a new guinness world record has been set for the fastest speed achieved by a vehicle indoors. formula e driverjake hughes reached almost 136 miles an hour, or 218 kilometres an hour. it all happened at the excel centre in docklands which is hosting the motorsport�*s world championships. it feels absolutely incredible to be the world indoor land speed record holder. honestly, when i was driving down here tonight, i didn't quite realise how much it would mean, and i think i was buzzing honestly to be told afterwards, or to see actually, you know, behind me on the boards that i have the record. it's something i'll cherish forever, i think. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between euston and watford junction, and no service between new cross gate and west croydon/crystal palace. there's also no service on the bakerloo line between queens park and harrow & wealdstone. weather now, here's sara.

good morning. a really mild start this morning across the capital and the south—east, temperatures in the mid to high teens at the moment. and mostly it is dry. we do have quite a bit of cloud, thick enough for a touch of drizzle here and there. over the next few hours, the cloud is thinning and breaking, and a lot of dry and increasingly sunny weather through the afternoon. in the best of it, 22, 20 three degrees. dry at first through this evening and overnight, but by tomorrow morning we have a system working its way through the west which will bring heavy pulses of rain to start the day tomorrow morning, a mild start again typically, and then on the pressure chart hits the bigger picture. there are frontal systems around, but also we do have some dry slots of weather and that looks like it will be unsettled again at the start of the new working week. so it is topsy—turvy, when you look at the outlook you can see quite a lot of unsettled weather symbols but they will be some dry weather at some

times, especially later today. there's more on our website, including what it's like to work with the artist banksy. that's it for now. i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. we naga munchetty and ben thompson. were having 6 then. we were having a right good chat then. well, chetan is here with the sports news, and i was thinking, obviously we are looking forward to the england game, and you were saying after that disappointment against haiti... saying after that disappointment against haiti. . ._ saying after that disappointment | against haiti. . ._ that against haiti... let's clarify. that was my confused _ against haiti... let's clarify. that was my confused face, _ against haiti... let's clarify. that was my confused face, because l against haiti... let's clarify. that was my confused face, because i | against haiti... let's clarify. that - was my confused face, because i was like, they won. i was my confused face, because i was like. they won-— like, they won. i think it was the underwhelming _ like, they won. i think it was the underwhelming performance. i like, they won. i think it was the | underwhelming performance. we like, they won. i think it was the - underwhelming performance. we have to be careful. sarina wiegman was goodin to be careful. sarina wiegman was good in interviews afterwards, and this is something we have all been guilty of. because the euros were

only last summer, normally we would have two years but because of the pandemic we didn't, there were direct comparisons to what we saw last year and expectations that it might be the same, they will pick up where they left off. it isn't the same team, they have key players were tired or injured and younger players coming in, but it was not a convincing win again on the scoreline, but it was a win, it was three points, that was what was most important. but i think where they had set the bar so high, it wasn't as good a performance as it could have been. it as good a performance as it could have been-— have been. it wasn't as good as it could have _ have been. it wasn't as good as it could have been? _ have been. it wasn't as good as it could have been? it _ have been. it wasn't as good as it could have been? it wasn't. - have been. it wasn't as good as it could have been? it wasn't. onel could have been? it wasn't. one comparison is, the euros they went on to win that title, and this will be a tougher test against denmark this morning. it kicks off as soon as breakfast is finished, and we can go to sydney now. our correspondentjane dougall is pitch—side for us. thank you forjoining us. we were talking about where england's mind is at the moment going after this

match, and lots of talk also about possible changes that sarina wiegman might make for this game. what have their preparations been like, do you think? :, ., :, , think? hello, chetan. you can see we have exclusive _ think? hello, chetan. you can see we have exclusive access. _ think? hello, chetan. you can see we have exclusive access. not _ think? hello, chetan. you can see we have exclusive access. not really! - have exclusive access. not really! exclusive access pitch side at the football stadium in sydney, and you can see on the screen behind me the countdown is on, just under three hours until this huge match, and it is a crunch match for england, because if they beat denmark, who were at the top of the group currently, that means england will go through to the knockout stages if the other game in their group, china versus haiti, ends in a draw. they won't be wanting to depend upon other people getting results, and as you mentioned, sarina wiegman thinks that they will need to be more ruthless than in their opening match and she might be making changes to her starting line—up. you mention the whole way through the euros, sarina wiegman didn't change her

starting line—up once, but i think she has seen she might have to do that for this match. the opening match against haiti, you have talked about it already. of course it was a win, and that is what they had to do, but it was an underwhelming performance from england. the only difference between the two sides was that retaken penalty by georgia stanway, and the reason it was retaken is because when the keeper saved at the first time, it was dean that she had come off her line, so she got another chance to score. and if that was the only difference between the two sides, that is a concern, because this is haiti's debut world cup, and it will not be the same story against denmark, let me tell you that, in just under three hours. it will be a very different story, and that is possibly why sarina wiegman is saying we have to be more ruthless, and she might make some changes. it and she might make some changes. it will be a different test against denmark, as you say. it was a narrow win for them too, that 1—0 win over china in theirfirst

win for them too, that 1—0 win over china in their first group match, familiar foes that many of the players will be familiar with from their time at chelsea. this is a real step up for england.- their time at chelsea. this is a real step up for england. yes, it is, and real step up for england. yes, it is. and you _ real step up for england. yes, it is. and you are _ real step up for england. yes, it is, and you are right _ real step up for england. yes, it is, and you are right about - real step up for england. yes, it is, and you are right about the l real step up for england. yes, it i is, and you are right about the not so secret weapon, one of the best players in the world, and many of our viewers will know her name because she played at chelsea for three seasons. it means also that the england defence are some of her old team—mates, so millie bright and jess carter, they will know how pernille harder works, what her movements are, and they won't want to give her any space because she leads the line for denmark and she will pounce. but this is denmark's first appearance at a world cup since 2007, so you say it is a step up since 2007, so you say it is a step up for england, but not that much of a step up. they cannot make the same mistakes they made against haiti, because they were a couple of times in the opening match that haiti could have scored, and they cannot do that against denmark. you mentioned it before, chetan, that

when england won the euros last summer, their opening match against austria was a narrow win. we had this discussion is, but then they went on to beat norway 8—0 in their second match. i'm not saying that's what they are going to do. they have turned the sprinklers on, we might have to move. but the thing about the best teams, they know when to peak in a tournament. fingers crossed that is england. we will hold ou crossed that is england. we will hold you to _ crossed that is england. we will hold you to that, _ crossed that is england. we will hold you to that, that _ crossed that is england. we will hold you to that, that it - crossed that is england. we will hold you to that, that it is - crossed that is england. we will hold you to that, that it is not i hold you to that, that it is not that much of a step up, and you talked about 8—0, so that is what we will be expecting! jane dougal in sydney, thank you. you can watch the buildup to that game from 9am on bbc one straight after breakfast. one place where they'll be watching closer to home is the blackburn rovers academy. tim muffett is there for us. this is a club with a strong record when it comes to producing top—class players, isn't it? he hasjoined us! this is a place that knows well how to produce top players.

asjoe wilson reports. anyone in world cricket knows these days when england are batting, something's happening. another day of backing their positive approach. now, the innings was punctuated by catches. crawley fell for 22. but more significantly, there were lots of drops. imagine if alex carey had held this, as he would do almost always. harry brook, reprieved at five, went on to make 85. he knows he's trying to find that balance between aggressive and reckless. shots like that one help. england fell somewhere between disappointing and encouraging in their 283 all out. as usual, it passed quickly. in response, australia were measured, reaching 61—1 at the close. look, chris woakes got rid of david warner and zak crawley demonstrated perfect catching technique. so what are we expecting here on the second day? well, england seek wickets, of course, but at this stage of the series,

energy and fitness are so important. so will moeen ali's groin strain allow him to play a full part? will steve smith make some big runs? well, he knows exactly how to prepare. joe wilson, bbc news, at the oval. plenty of questions ahead of the second day. great news for scotland who have qualified for the men's t20 cricket world cup. they've been in blistering form in their european qualifiers and beat denmark by 33 runs in edinburgh yesterday to finish in the top two in the table. they'll be joined by ireland for the tournament in the caribbean and the united states next summer, after they got the point they needed when their match against germany was rained off. belgium's lotta kopecky continues to lead the tour de france femmes with three stages to go as she closes in on her first major cycling tour title. kopecky finished fourth on stage five, 32 seconds behind germany's ricarda bauernfeind,

who attacked with 36km to go and managed to race clear to win her first tour stage. kopecky keeps hold of the yellow jersey with a lead of 43 seconds. there have been more medals for britain at the world aquatics championships in japan. duncan scott won the silver and teammate tom dean took bronze in the men's 200m medley final. earlier, lauren cox won bronze in the women's 50m backstroke in her debut at the world championships. there's been huge controversy at the world fencing championships after ukrainian fencer olga kharlan was disqualified after refusing to shake hands with russian anna smirnova. kharlan was the first fencer to face a russian or belarusian since the invasion of her homeland, and went on to win15—7 in milan. afterwards she rejected a handshake, instead offering her sabre to tap blades, something that led to her disqualification from the women's sabre individual event.

expect to hear much more on that. the bumper summer of sport continues with the netball world cup starting today in south africa. 16 teams will take to the court in cape town, with scotland, wales and england all in the mix. england's roses are ranked third in the world, and will be hoping to emulate that winning moment at the commonwealth games in 2018 on the gold coast. matt graveling looks ahead for us. helen housby to take... yes! it was a golden moment. england have done it! england v australia and the most thrilling of finales at the commonwealth games. but five years on, can they do it again on the biggest stage of all? the mindset is definitely that we want to perform well, and we want to build on what's been a number of past experiences. layla guscoth will co—captain the third—ranked roses as they start their campaign against barbados in cape town. we've just sat down and pinpointed a number of key areas that we feel are important to contribute

to success in the summer. butjoining england in group b is scotland, a young thistles team flying to south africa, ranked tenth in the world and led by a coach who's no stranger to the world cup or to england. former roses player tamsin greenway. you know, we are still an underdog team. we're really young group. there's still players in this competition that haven't even competed at super league level. so that kind of shows that disparity. however, they're not afraid. so for us, it's kind of go out there, show what we're made of, and enjoy the experience and learn massively from it. the teams to beat remain the holders new zealand and australia, who are ranked number one in the world and will be hoping to add world cup success to this commonwealth gold they won last summer. they win their fourth netball gold medal at the commonwealth games. in total, 16 teams will compete over ten days, with wales given the tough job of first facing the hosts, south africa.

having missed out on the last world cup, just two members of the feathers squad have experience of the tournament. it seems like a long time ago now, 2015 in sydney, but after not qualifying four years ago, it's even more special. hopefully i can share some of my experiences with the girls. really looking forward to getting out there now and getting going. while wales and scotland's primary aim is to progress through the groups, england, who have finished third in the last three world cups, will hope to this time make the final on the 6th of august. matt graveling, bbc news. wales against south africa, england versus barbados, scotland malawi, all three matches later today. in the football world cup and the ashes, it is all happening. look at that view over there. you're going to enjoy this, chetan. thank you very much. sarah keith—lucas has the weather for us. we could all pick a bench if we don't want to sit with each other. a cup of coffee

gradually dry up during the course of august. we have low pressure setting to the north—west of the uk, but we are in between weather fronts, so a fair amount of dry weather, some sunshine from the word go. a bit of cloud drifting around, so nowhere seeing wall—to—wall sunshine. also for northern england and scotland, one or two showers moving through on the breeze, later in the day we will see the client thickening for northern ireland. temperature 17—24, with lighter winds, feeling quite pleasant, we are expecting a largely dry day at the oval is the fifth test continues. the next few days, more of a chance of catching a bit of rain, but not too prolonged. this evening and overnight, dry for many, late centring around, then the next area of rain comes in from the west, through northern ireland and then these patchy outbreaks of rain across the west. also some heavy showers down to what east anglia and the south—east. but temperature

12-15. the south—east. but temperature 12—15. through the course of the weekend we are expecting an unsettled picture, so a bit of sunshine, some showers that can be heavy and thundery through the north, quite breezy and feeling cooler as well. heading through saturday, this area of pressure drift its way eastwards, breezy conditions rotating around the low pressure and scattered showers. heaviest and most frequent for northern ireland and scotland, where they could be heavy and thundery. further south across england and wales they won't be quite as frequent or heavy. temperature 17-22, frequent or heavy. temperature 17—22, into the second half of the weekend low pressure with us, and this frontal system could bring some really heavy, thundery downpours to parts of southern scotland and northern england. more rain working in from the south—west, the breeze picking up and an improving picture from scotland, to top temperatures on sunday around 18—21. back to you. thank you very much.

holidaymakers and dog—walkers are being warned to stay away from sick or dead birds washed up on uk beaches because of avian flu. the rspb charity has already lost 3,000 birds across its nature reserves. and on the farne islands, tens of thousands of razorbills would normally be seen over the summer, but this year there will be significantly fewer and the islands have been closed to tourists. gareth barlow is on freshwater west beach this morning and can tell us more. eight is a stunning view, and it looks beautiful, rugged and i'm sure it's not the warmest place in the world, but still beautiful. yet some rather ugly images.— rather ugly images. yes, and we particularly _ rather ugly images. yes, and we particularly think _ rather ugly images. yes, and we particularly think of _ rather ugly images. yes, and we particularly think of bird - rather ugly images. yes, and we particularly think of bird flu i rather ugly images. yes, and we particularly think of bird flu as i particularly think of bird flu as being a winter issue. we have all seen those headlines and images of farmers having to lock up paltry. but this outbreak continues well into the summer, and it is places like here behind me that are the key

focus now, those wild seabird populations along these coastlines and out at sea that are being heavily affected. but it is notjust here in pembrokeshire, it is wildlife populations around the uk. it's the largest ever outbreak of bird flu, and it still has the uk's birds in its grip. normally the virus dies down during the summer, but this year it's still ravaging wild bird populations, particularly along the coast. already this month, hundreds of dead birds have had to be removed from beaches in aberdeenshire. avian flu has also hit the rspb coquet island for a second year, with fears growing for the rare roseate tern colony. meanwhile, the farne islands off the coast of northumberland, home to approximately 200,000 seabirds, has closed to visitors due to the outbreak. while here in pembrokeshire, huge numbers of seabirds are washing up on the shore.

it started off as one or two on certain beaches here amroth was one of the first places, and then has spread along the southern coastline here in pembrokeshire. we've totted up. we think it's in the order of about 7—800 birds so far, which if you consider that's over a two—week period and we don't know what's to come yet, know who knows how many we could be talking about once this thing has run its course? and this is just one small corner of the uk. 50,000 wild birds are said to have died from avian flu last year, and the true figure is expected to be even higher. the reality is that birds that end up dead on beaches like this one died out there. out in the ocean. so what we're seeing along our coastlines is most likely the tip of the iceberg. the rspb says more needs to be done to protect already threatened bird populations. our seabirds are already facing a cocktail of threats from damaging developments in their marine environment to warming oceans. on top of that, bird flu is already a crisis, and if governments don't step up their response soon, we risk that crisis becoming

a full—scale catastrophe. the uk's national authorities say they are working with a range of agencies to respond to the flu outbreak and are closely monitoring wild bird populations. and new seabird conservation strategies are also in development. meanwhile, this summer, millions of us are already heading to the beaches where infected birds lie. we're working very closely with the national park, the national trust and the wildlife trust to ensure that where birds are, dead or sick birds are reported in, they're collected and dealt with as quickly as possible. but is this message getting through? it's a bit worrying, isn't it? to say the least. absolutely. i thought that had | all cleared up now. judging by what was in - the newspapers and everything where they are, you know, the chickens are allowed i to go outside now and | they're not cooped up. i thought it had all ceased.

to have a wonderful tourist result like this, and then to be struck with bird flu is going to really make you anxious if you're a hotelier or in a restaurant. a few people are concerned. we've had a few people come up to us and ask like, "oh, we've got dead birds on the beach." but obviously we can't really do anything about it. the uk health security agency says the risk posed by bird flu to humans is very low. but for the seabirds along our coastline, it remains a deadly threat. gareth barlow, bbc news, pembrokeshire. i , for more on this, i'm joined by the general manager of the national trust. what are you seeing on these beaches? it trust. what are you seeing on these beaches? , :, trust. what are you seeing on these beaches? , . , ., :, beaches? it is a sad situation, alon: beaches? it is a sad situation, along these — beaches? it is a sad situation, along these coastlines - beaches? it is a sad situation, along these coastlines we i beaches? it is a sad situation, | along these coastlines we have collected 200 dead seabirds, and it has been really devastating to see.

so we are lucky and the fact that we are working with lots of our other organisations and government agencies, and so our ranger team having to come along this beach and other beaches along the coastline and collect the dead seabirds. bind and collect the dead seabirds. and ou have and collect the dead seabirds. and you have vitally important seabird colonies just off the coast here. absolutely, some amazing seabirds live not too far from here and we are just monitoring the situation every single day to see what happens. so we are really asking people if they see any dead birds along the coastline, because obviously it is the summer time now, if they can get in contact with the local council so that at least we get a bit of an idea as to what is happening along the coastline. it is happening along the coastline. it is worth noting _ happening along the coastline. it is worth noting that the risk to the public is very low indeed, and if they do seabirds, this is an open beach, what should people do? do]!!! beach, what should people do? all the beach, what should people do? fill the beaches are open, nothing is going to be closed, and we really want to welcome everybody because it is the summer holidays. but we are

asking people not to touch any birds, any dead seabirds, and especially if they have dogs, keep them on a lead to keep them away from the birds. and then our ranger team and lots of other different agencies will be along to collect any dead birds that are on the beach. :, ~' , :, any dead birds that are on the beach. . ,, , :, ., , beach. thank you. that is the message. the _ beach. thank you. that is the message. the risk _ beach. thank you. that is the message. the risk to - beach. thank you. that is the message. the risk to the i beach. thank you. that is the l message. the risk to the public beach. thank you. that is the - message. the risk to the public is low, but if you do seabirds, get in touch with the authorities, leave them alone and continue on with your day. you like beautiful views, such a shame what is happening. it did look a little wild and grey. full forecast from sarah coming up a little later too. the time is just turning for micro minutes to seven. coming up later on the programme... we're meeting a pretty incredible dog. he's called reqs. he's worked for hertfordshire fire and rescue service for the last 11 years, making him britain's longest—serving fire investigation dog, and he's just retired this week. he'll be with us on the sofa later.

we are under quite strict instructions with reqs, because he will sniff it out. and no coffee on the sofa because he likes a bro! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm alison earle. complaints by students against major london universities have soared, according to research by the bbc. the number getting in touch with the official body for higher education, has risen to the highest level in four years. issues faced include problems with grades, accommodation and unhappiness with online teaching since the pandemic. i've had lecturers not turn up with no notice. there's been lecturers who've gone on strike for weeks on end. i've had marking delayed for months up until, you know, into end of the next term, and i'm still waiting for my marks from the previous term

and nothing's gone ahead. luckily, i've had my grade for graduation now, but i've had friends who have just received a certificate of completion, and essentially that means they don't have their final grade when they graduate, and that's really hard for them to then find employment. if you're heading to luton airport, there's a warning you could face disruption due to a strike by car park staff. members of the unite union are walking out today and on tuesday in a dispute over pay. the action includes valet parking staff and bus drivers who take people to the terminals. a new guiness world record has been set in the capital for the fastest speed achieved by a vehicle indoors. formula e driverjake hughes reached almost 136 miles an hour, that's 218 kilometres an hour. it all happened at the excel centre in docklands which is hosting the motorsport�*s world championships. it feels absolutely incredible to be the world indoor [and speed record holder. honestly, when i was driving down here tonight, i didn't quite realise how much it would mean, and i think i was buzzing honestly to be told afterwards,

or to see actually, you know, that i have the record. it's something i'll cherish forever, i think. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between euston and watford junction. and no service between new cross gate and west croydon/crystal palace. there's also no service on the bakerloo line between queens park and harrow & wealdstone. weather now, here's sara. good morning. a really mild start this morning across the capital and the south—east, temperatures in the mid to high teens at the moment. and mostly it is dry. we do have quite a bit of cloud, thick enough for a touch of drizzle here and there. over the next few hours, the cloud is thinning and breaking, and a lot of dry and increasingly sunny weather through the afternoon. in the best of it, 22, 23 degrees. dry at first through this evening and overnight, but by tomorrow morning we have a system working its way through the west which will bring heavy pulses of rain to start the day tomorrow

morning, a mild start again typically, and then on the pressure chart here's the bigger picture. there are frontal systems around, but also we do have some drier slots of weather and that looks like it will be unsettled again at the start of the new working week. so it is topsy—turvy, when you look at the outlook you can see quite a lot of unsettled weather symbols but there will be some dry weather with sunshine at times, especially later today. over on bbc radio london in a moment, riz will be getting your thoughts on ulez ahead of the high courtjudgement. that's it for now, i'm back in half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. our headlines today... a crunch game for england, as they take on denmark in the women's world cup this morning. if they win, the lionesses can qualify for the knockout stage with a game to spare.

confusing and unrealistic. criticism over food labels which fail to clearly inform shoppers about portion sizes. anger amongst disabled airline passengers — the bbc finds a number of major carriers charge full price for a care assistant, going against official guidance. good morning. away from the women's world cup, england need wickets in the fifth and final ashes test. australia took plenty on the opening day, bowling england out inside 55 overs at the oval. good morning. a window of dry weather today. a bit of sunshine, one or two showers. things look more unsettled for the weekend. all the detail coming up shortly. it's friday, the 28th ofjuly. england's lionesses continue their world cup campaign

and are hoping to secure a place in last 16 of the competition. they secured a narrow i—o win against haiti in their opening game, but denmark's expected to be the toughest opponent yet, as our sports correspondent katie gornall reports. cheering. for england's globetrotters, another landmark on their world cup journey. the party has rolled into sydney and it's not gone unnoticed. whether it's on american television or on the pitch, england are seen as one of the ones to watch, even when they're not quite at their best. i'lljust take the three points and a rubbish performance rather than a good performance and one point or, god forbid, a loss. get a few goals and i think the confidence will increase from there. they're european champions, they're the best in europe. i they can beat denmark easily. what do you think the score is going to be? 0-0. goals have been in short supply for england recently. a georgia stanway penalty was enough to see them past haiti

but they've not scored in open play since april. we want to get in our rhythm and that's what we showed a couple of times in that haiti game. we want more of that. so we said we're going to keep the ball at moments we really are in the build—up and then we want to create chances. soon, england's players will have their chance at the sydney football stadium. beat denmark here and the last 16 will be in touching distance. who starts and who sits on the bench is the big question facing this england team? serena weigman is notorious for not changing a winning side. but, after a sluggish performance in their opening game, england could really do with sparking into life here in sydney. as for denmark, they're back at a world cup for the first time in 16 years. in striker pernille harder, they have one of the game's great talents and someone who knows england well, having played alongside millie bright at chelsea. she's tough, she's like i say, goes 110% into everything she does.

it will be difficult but i'll do everything i can do to also make it difficult for her. england will have a plan to deal with harder but they're not giving anything away. inside their base camp, they've been finalising preparations. those expecting wholesale changes might be disappointed. i do think serena will probably stick with the same team and start with alessia russo up top again because she just likes that continuity, i think. they found a way, they got a result. the mood in the camp is upbeat. soon we'll find out who has made the cut against denmark, but can they stamp their name on this tournament? katie gornal, bbc news, sydney. just last week we were talking about the fallout from the by—elections and the ulez charge definitely made

and the ulez charge definitely made an appearance and caused controversy. further developments on that. the high court is set to publish a ruling this morning over the london mayor's plan to expand the ultra low emission zone to the capital's outer boroughs. five conservative—run councils launched legal action back in february over the extension, which is due to come into force on august the 29th. our reporter simonjones joins us now from west london. ulez zones are already in place across some parts of the capital but this is about an extension and there is controversy about it. the boundary — is controversy about it. the boundary of _ is controversy about it. the boundary of the _ is controversy about it. the boundary of the zone - is controversy about it. ire boundary of the zone is marked is controversy about it. iue boundary of the zone is marked by the green sign behind me. if you had a drink in that pub over there you would be in the emissions zone. in this pub over here you are not in their zone. this pub over here you are not in theirzone. come this pub over here you are not in their zone. come the end of next month, if the mayor gets his way, this whole area on this side will be part of the zone. in fact all london

boroughs will be. the mayor says thatis boroughs will be. the mayor says that is necessary because the capital is facing a health emergency. he points out forth the thousand people a year are dying prematurely because of poor air quality. he says something has to be done about that. it is facing a lot of opposition but not least from four london councils and surrey county council, who are bringing this court action. they argue that talking about the expansion of the existing zone is wrong. they say actually the new area should be treated as a whole new scheme because it is going to be so big and because it is going to be so big and because so many issues, predicted during a cost of living crisis. if you have an older, more polluting car, you will have to pay £12 50 a day to get into your car and drive around. what happens in court today will be very keenly watched by other areas. some places like bristol and

birmingham have already introduced air quality zones. others may be considering it but they will be keen to see how this goes in court. back from our reporter _ to see how this goes in court. back from our reporter simon _ to see how this goes in court. back from our reporter simonjones. federal prosecutors in the united states have widened their criminal investigation into the former president, donald trump, over his handling of government documents after he left the white house. they allege that mr trump ordered workers at his florida resort to delete security videos showing the movement of classified files. mr trump said the new charges were a "desperate" attempt to continue what he called an "illegal witch hunt." the united nations says it has suspended its humanitarian operations in niger, after the country's elected president was overthrown in a military coup. the un has demanded the immediate release of mohamed bazoum, who is being held captive. supporters of the coup have accused the president's party of corruption. the un says more than four million people in niger need humanitarian aid. the ministry of defence has launched an investigation after classified infomation

was accidentally sent to a close ally of russia following a typing error. the e—mails were meant to go to the us military, who use the ".mil" domain, but this was misspelt — meaning the messages actually went to the west african nation of mali. officials say the e—mails will not compromise operational security. millions of us military emails have also been sent to mali because of the same error. there are reports this morning that 2,000 asylum seekers could be housed in large tents under plans by the home secretary to avoid using hotels for migrants. more than ili,000 people have made unauthorised crossings this year. let's get the latest on this from our political correspondent, jonathan blake, now. jonathan, we know the hotels have caused a lot of controversy. what we know about the planned with the

tents? ., , . know about the planned with the tents? ., ' . ., , ,., tents? the home office has bought tents? the home office has bought tents or marquees _ tents? the home office has bought tents or marquees for— tents? the home office has bought tents or marquees for the - tents? the home office has bought tents or marquees for the purpose l tents? the home office has bought. tents or marquees for the purpose of housing migrants. we do not know the extent how many or when and where they will be used. it is costing the government a lot of money, up to £7 million a day to house migrants seeking a silent, who have come to the uk across the channel in small boats. that is not sustainable in the longer term. they have been looking for alternatives. that is why we have seen the use of hotels. also that barge in dorset and former military base is being lined up for the purposes of housing migrants in this way. rishi sunak has made it his priority, one of his political priorities, to stop small boat crossing is in the channel. it is proving harder to do in practice. just yesterday the government was handed a high court ruling in its policy of putting unaccompanied children seeking asylum in the uk

and hotels, even on a temporary basis, was unlawful. now it looks as if given reports about tents being used there may be capacity issues over the summer. we are yet to see what is properly going to be the peak of numbers based on previous years, certainly, overaugustand september coming across the english channel. the slogan to stop the boats from the prime minister sounds simple. he claims there were signs the approach from the government is working including legislation passed legally putting a legal duty on the home secretary to detain and remove people but it will be difficult to achieve in practice.— achieve in practice. thank you, jonathan blake, _ achieve in practice. thank you, jonathan blake, in _ achieve in practice. thank you, i jonathan blake, in westminster. across europe, hundreds of firefighters continue to tackle wildfires, which have forced thousands of people from their homes. now, leading scientists have warned thatjuly is "virtually certain" to be the world's warmest month on record. our reporter bethany bell is in rhodes, where a state of emergency was declared early this week.

improve its firefighting and fire protection measures and do more as well to combat the effects of climate change. yesterday evening, in one area on the mainland, there were explosions held when a fire reached an ammunition depot belonging to the air force. that area had to be evacuated. earlier this week, two pilots were killed fighting the fires over evia. the funeral was held for one pilot yesterday and another will be held today. yesterday and another will be held toda . ., ~ yesterday and another will be held toda . ., ,, ,, yesterday and another will be held toda . . ~' ,, , yesterday and another will be held toda. ., , . �* today. thank you very much. bethany live from the — today. thank you very much. bethany live from the island _ today. thank you very much. bethany live from the island of— today. thank you very much. bethany live from the island of rhodes. - essex police are appealing for help to find a miniature dachshund that was stolen from a family home on wednesday afternoon. this video has been released in an effort to catch the intruder, and shows a masked man entering through a back door armed with a hammer, and making off with the dog, while it panics and tries to get away.

consumers are struggling to work out how much sugar, fat and salt they are consuming because of "confusing" food packaging. research by the watchdog "which?" found, when asked to estimate how many servings were contained in popular supermarket products, many got it wrong. our reporter, graham satchell, has been out in london seeing if shoppers are finding it easy tojudge portion sizes for themselves. how closely do you read the labelling on food? would you know, for example, the recommended portion size for pringles or quality street or halloumi? how many portions do you think there are in that pack of halloumi? i think halloumi is probably... i think there's many more than i would guess. yeah. so you would have maybe four. hmm. three at a push. how many portions do you reckon

there are in this box of pringles? 0h. 100. ioo portions. i can eat the whole of that. i do love a quality street. i do like the old toffees! do you know how many quality street you are meant to have? the recommended amount you're meant to have in one sitting? um, no. not that many. i would have said maybe six. six in one go? yeah. what would your guess be? probably three. which is close. for the record, the label says the recommended serving for quality street is two. a tub of pringles is meant to be five or six portions and 250 grams of halloumi is meant to serve approximately eight. in a survey today, the consumer group which? found portion information on food packaging, can be confusing, inconsistent and unrealistic. it says nutrition labelling is valuable for customers, but it needs to be based on meaningful and consistent portion sizes. the food and drink federation told us they're committed to providing clear and accurate information and a range of portion sizes are available to help consumers achieve a healthy, balanced diet.

to sit down and eat quality street, i can't imagine it. would you like one? no, thank you. back on the street, we met this man who has prunes for breakfast, sardine salad for lunch and banana and yoghurt for dinner. i'm 82 and i feel really fit. i mean, you don't look 82! my god, you look incredible. well, recommend my diet. thank you, sir. bye— bye. graeme satchell, bbc news. lesson of the day and how to eat. prunes and sardines. it may not sound appetising when do not do it together. also while swimming in the beautiful sea. you and sarah first, i would say. it doesn't look too cold, does it?— i would say. it doesn't look too cold, does it? , . , ., cold, does it? the temperatures are a bit warmer — cold, does it? the temperatures are a bit warmer than _ cold, does it? the temperatures are a bit warmer than average _ cold, does it? the temperatures are a bit warmer than average at - cold, does it? the temperatures are a bit warmer than average at the - a bit warmer than average at the moment. a better while swimming at thatis moment. a better while swimming at

the nigel farage bank account row. and this morning it'sjust reported its half year results. hannah is here with all the details. all this is totally separate to what has gone on this week. it gives an indication of how the bank is doing. the results look pretty strong. these are pre—tax profits we are reporting from natwest. more than £3.5 reporting from natwest. more than 5.5 billion in the first six months £3.5 billion in the first six months of the year, almost twice as much as the same period last year. they will pay tax of just the same period last year. they will pay tax ofjust over £1 billion on that figure. essentially what is happening is banks making more money as interest rates go up. they make money from mortgage rates and things and the difference between those and savings rates. we know mps have previously criticised banks for putting up mortgage rates more quickly than they put up savings rates. the chancellor has urged them

to put up savings rates more quickly. that applies to all banks. we are still going through the numbers here. but of course, we know thatis numbers here. but of course, we know that is a controversy that has been going on. the only other thing of note we have seen so far in these results when they say mortgage arrears remain low. that doesn't mean, we have talked already this morning about mortgage rates going up. morning about mortgage rates going u -. ~ , ., morning about mortgage rates going up. when you say mortgage arrears, that is people — up. when you say mortgage arrears, that is people who _ up. when you say mortgage arrears, that is people who might _ up. when you say mortgage arrears, that is people who might be - up. when you say mortgage arrears, that is people who might be in - that is people who might be in financial difficulty struggling to pay back their mortgages. the?r financial difficulty struggling to pay back their mortgages. they say that still remains _ pay back their mortgages. they say that still remains low _ pay back their mortgages. they say that still remains low at _ pay back their mortgages. they say that still remains low at the - pay back their mortgages. they say. that still remains low at the moment that still remains low at the moment that people are still finding time is difficult. , , , ' is difficult. this is the stuff eo - le is difficult. this is the stuff people are _ is difficult. this is the stuff people are interested - is difficult. this is the stuff people are interested in. l is difficult. this is the stuff i people are interested in. you is difficult. this is the stuff - people are interested in. you cannot ignore the row between nigel farage gehis account, because natwest owns coutts as well and resignations. yellow but i was at row about the closure of the account of nigel farage without giving him a reason. the fallout has been enormous. the

to a burger at a london restaurant. paul, good morning to you. thank you very much forjoining us on breakfast. sent on's death, you have been campaigning for on's law, to have clearer allergy labelling specifically. when people hear owen died after an allergic reaction to a burger, can you explain what that was? it is not as simple as a piece of meat, is it? was? it is not as simple as a piece of meat. is it?— of meat, is it? no. many of your viewers will _ of meat, is it? no. many of your viewers will know— of meat, is it? no. many of your viewers will know someone - of meat, is it? no. many of your viewers will know someone who | of meat, is it? no. many of your- viewers will know someone who has allergies. one in... 20% of the population sufferfrom allergies. one in... 20% of the population suffer from allergies in one form or another. many of them can lead to anaphylaxis, that is a specific reaction in the body where the body overreacts to something

attacking it. the body attacks itself and it can result in the swelling of limbs, muscles, of organs and in the case of owen, it was his lungs and throat and it basically suffocated him as he was walking along the embankment to the london eye. he died on the spot back in 2017. he had been fed some chicken. the chicken was described as being plain grilled, yet it had really been marinated in buttermilk and owen was allergic among other things to buttermilk. the fact he had this buttermilk unbeknown to him because the anaphylactic reaction and that has happened to others in the last few years. another woman, celia marsh, suffered in similar circumstances. these allergens are very difficult to spot. it is very difficult for the medical profession to fully understand the mechanisms by which the deaths occur. they can be very dangerous for people and in

some cases, fatal. we are campaigning to change the law to get information of the allergens in restaurant meals stated in writing on the menu. the crazy thing is the restaurants already have an obligation to provide this information. they can do it by any means. we want to change that to be inviting so we can reduce the number of deaths are occurring across the country. bi of deaths are occurring across the count . �* , ., country. at this moment in time, like ou country. at this moment in time, like you say. _ country. at this moment in time, like you say, most _ country. at this moment in time, like you say, most of— country. at this moment in time, like you say, most of us - country. at this moment in time, like you say, most of us know - like you say, most of us know someone or may ourselves have an allergy. i was thinking of the numbers, their numbers of hospital admissions more than doubling in the last 20 years, do you think that is because more of us are aware? in some sense there with the power to your campaign, some sense there with the power to yourcampaign, more some sense there with the power to your campaign, more support to your campaign. do you think it is an environment where more of us are becoming allergic or having allergies?— becoming allergic or having alleraies? , ., ., .,

from the previous term and nothing's gone ahead. luckily, i've had my grade for graduation now, but i've had friends who have just received a certificate of completion, and essentially that means they don't have their final grade when they graduate, and that's really hard for them to then find employment. if you're heading to luton airport, there's a warning you could face disruption due to a strike by car park staff. members of the unite union are walking out today and on tuesday in a dispute over pay. the action includes valet parking staff and bus drivers who take people to the terminals. a new guinness world record has been set in the capital for the fastest speed achieved by a vehicle indoors. formula e driverjake hughes reached almost 136 miles an hour, that's 218 kilometres an hour. it all happened at the excel centre in docklands which is hosting the motorsport�*s world championships. it feels absolutely incredible to be the world indoor [and speed record holder. honestly, when i was driving down here tonight, i didn't quite realise

how much it would mean, and i think i was buzzing honestly to be told afterwards, or to see actually, you know, that i have the record. it's something i'll cherish forever, i think. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between euston and watford junction and no service between new cross gate and west croydon / crystal palace. there's also no service on the bakerloo line between queens park and harrow & wealdstone. and minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. weather now, here's sara. good morning. a really mild start this morning across the capital and the south—east, temperatures in the mid to high teens at the moment. and mostly it is dry. we do have quite a bit of cloud, thick enough for a touch of drizzle here and there. over the next few hours, the cloud is thinning and breaking, and a lot of dry and increasingly sunny weather through the afternoon. in the best of it, 22, 23 degrees. dry and clear at first through this evening and overnight, but by tomorrow morning

we have a system working its way through the west which will bring heavy pulses of rain to start the day tomorrow morning, a mild start again typically, and then on the pressure chart here's the bigger picture. there are frontal systems around, but also we do have some drier slots of weather and that looks like it will be unsettled again at the start of the new working week. so a bit topsy—turvy, when you look at the outlook you can see quite a lot of unsettled weather symbols but there will be some dry weather with sunshine at times, especially later today. over on bbc radio london right now, riz is getting your thoughts on ulez ahead of the high courtjudgment later. that's it for now. i'm back in half an hour. hello. this is breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. the time is 7.31. the lionesses are getting ready to face denmark in their second game of the women's world cup

but more significantly, there were lots of drops. imagine if alex carey had held this, as he would do almost always. harry brook, reprieved at five, went on to make 85. he knows he's trying to find that balance between aggressive and reckless. shots like that one help. england fell somewhere between disappointing and encouraging in their 283 all out. as usual, it passed quickly. in response, australia were measured, reaching 61—1 at the close. look, chris woakes got rid of david warner and zak crawley demonstrated perfect catching technique. so what are we expecting here on the second day? well, england seek wickets, of course, but at this stage of the series, energy and fitness are so important. so will moeen ali's groin strain allow him to play a full part? will steve smith make some big runs? well, he knows exactly how to prepare. joe wilson, bbc news, at the oval.

were contacted to find out how many insist on a personal assistant for a disabled passenger, and if they offer the assistant a discount. 28 airlines are charging full price for those tickets — that includes emirates and virgin atlantic as well as budget airlines such as easyjet and ryanair. only pakistan international airlines offers personal assistants discounts for both international and domestic travel. 40 carriers including turkish airlines and delta say disabled people should travel with an assistant but don't clearly set out how much it costs. disabled people with mobility issues say the situation is discriminatory. we're joined now by melody powell, who uses a wheelchair, and chris wood, a disability campaigner. melanie isjoining melanie is joining us melanie isjoining us from south—west london. chris is here in the studio. melody, let's talk to you first. you are experiencing this

directly. you book a flight, you get in touch with the airline and say, i have specific needs, this is what i need, and what then happens? you are basically told — need, and what then happens? you are basically told that _ need, and what then happens? you are basically told that there _ need, and what then happens? you are basically told that there is _ need, and what then happens? you are basically told that there is no _ basically told that there is no on—board assistance, no possible way for you to independently move on the aircraft, because honestly you can't take your chair, and the isle chair is very tiny and not suitable for many of us disabled people. i struggle to support myself on it, so i often need to be carried by someone. so i obviously have to take a personal assistant on with me, and then there is just no buffer of support for paying for this, so i have to purchase two plane tickets whenever i want to fly. so have to purchase two plane tickets whenever i want to fly.— whenever i want to fly. so to be clear, if whenever i want to fly. so to be clear. if you _ whenever i want to fly. so to be clear, if you do _ whenever i want to fly. so to be clear, if you do not _ whenever i want to fly. so to be clear, if you do not have - whenever i want to fly. so to be clear, if you do not have an - clear, if you do not have an assistant with you, you cannot fly? simple as that?—

know when the report was done by the bbc that they also had the same response as airlines, just don't talk about it. they don't want to address that as an issue, because it is not seen as an issue, because thatis is not seen as an issue, because that is how it has always been. i should say we did ask for a right of reply from many, and i think 33 haven't responded to the bbc�*s requests in terms of information of what's listed, what's stopped, you know. so that doesn't reflect well. i'm interested in what would be an appropriate price, so we know airlines have difficult prices, you book early, you book late, you book the night before, where you want to sit on the plane, so they can charge different prices. what you think will be an appropriate level? i don't think anybody wants anything for nothing. — don't think anybody wants anything for nothing. but _ don't think anybody wants anything for nothing, but to _ don't think anybody wants anything for nothing, but to pull— don't think anybody wants anything for nothing, but to pull a _ don't think anybody wants anything for nothing, but to pull a figure - for nothing, but to pull a figure out of—

bbc access or podcast available on bbc sounds now. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. things are looking up a little bit after yesterday? yes, good morning to you. a window of dry weather out there today, which i think many people will be pleased to hear. we have some sunshine around, this is the picture new york first thing, and we will see sunny spells lasted for the course of the day. one of two showers in the forecast but you will be fairly unlucky if you do catch one, so i think most of us staying largely dry and bright with lighter winds as well, but it is all change again into the weekend, because here is the latest area of low pressure that will track eastwards through the weekend. but at least today we are between the weather fronts, at least today we are between the weatherfronts, so at least today we are between the weather fronts, so things are looking relatively quiet out there. some areas of cloud drifting eastward through the day, a few showers with parts of southern england, also won a two for northern england, also won a two for northern england, east and scotland as well, and a few showers working across northern ireland with a breeze picking up here as well. the temperature is not too bad, i7—21i, not quite as bad as yesterday in

fact we had 25, nearly 26 degrees yesterday. so a touchdown, and temperatures will continue to come down over the next couple of days, but it is continuing to see the fifth test at the oval, so it is looking dry, perhaps a bit more sunshine later and just a very small chance of a passing shower. any of these showers fading away for this evening, but in the next area of showery rain comes in from the west, northern ireland into scotland, down towards wales and the south—east, east anglia also seeing some torrential downpours through the early hours of saturday. but it is not going to be a cold night. the outlook for the weekend, unsettled with some showers around, heaviest in the north. sarah thank you, we will see you later. the time is seven minutes to eight. firefighters at hertfordshire fire and rescue service said goodbye to a collegue this week — and this is one they might miss more than most.

headlines. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. complaints by students against major london universities have soared, according to research by the bbc. the number getting in touch with the official body for higher education, has risen to the highest level in four years. issues faced include problems with grades, accommodation, lecturers going on strike and unhappiness with online teaching since the pandemic. if you're heading to luton airport there's a warning you could face disruption due to a strike by car park staff. members of the unite union are walking out today and on tuesday in a dispute over pay. the action includes valet parking workers and bus drivers who take

people to the terminals. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between euston and watford junction and no service between new cross gate and west croydon/crystal palace. there's also no service on the bakerloo line between queens park and harrow & wealdstone. and there are minor delays on the hammersmith and city line between liverpool street and barking. now on to the weather. cloudy with a few sunny spells, but there is the chance of a light shower in places. turning drier towards the evening. expect temperatures today to get up to 21! degrees. riz is over on bbc radio london — and her special guest today is a writer and chef. that's it for now, i'm back in around half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. our headlines today...

a crunch game for england, as they take on denmark in the women's world cup this morning. if they win, the lionesses can qualify for the knockout stage with a game to spare. confusing and unrealistic — criticism over food labels that fail to clearly inform shoppers about portion sizes. a sharp rise in profits for natwest bank. it makes more than £3.5 billion in the first half of the year. i'll be looking through the numbers. warnings to stay away from dead and dyin- warnings to stay away from dead and dying seabirds as bird flu continue to bite _ dying seabirds as bird flu continue to bite along coastlines, like here in pembrokeshire. good morning. away from the world cup, england need wickets in the fifth and final ashes test. australia took plenty on the opening day, bowling england out inside 55 overs at the oval. and i have got a quieter weather day to day _ and i have got a quieter weather day to day. sunny spells, one or two

showers — to day. sunny spells, one or two showers. most of us will avoid them. things— showers. most of us will avoid them. things turn— showers. most of us will avoid them. things turn more unsettled over the weekend _ things turn more unsettled over the weekend. more details in ten minutes _ it's friday the 28th ofjuly. england's lionesses continue their world cup campaign and are hoping to secure a place in last 16 of the competition. they secured a narrow i—0 win against haiti in their opening game, but denmark's expected to be the toughest opponent yet, as our sports correspondent katie gornall reports. cheering. for england's globetrotters, another landmark on their world cup journey. the party has rolled into sydney and it's not gone unnoticed. whether it's on american television or on the pitch, england are seen as one of the ones to watch, even when they're not quite at their best. # so good, so good!# i'lljust take the three points and a rubbish performance rather than a good performance and one point or, god forbid, a loss. get a few goals and i think the confidence will increase from there.

they're european champions, they're the best in europe. i they can beat denmark easily. what do you think the score is going to be? 0-0. goals have been in short supply for england recently. a georgia stanway penalty was enough to see them past haiti but they've not scored in open play since april. we want to get in our rhythm and that's what we showed a couple of times in that haiti game. we want more of that. so we said we're going to keep the ball at moments we really are in the build—up and then we want to create chances. soon, england's players will have their chance at the sydney football stadium. beat denmark here and the last 16 will be in touching distance. who starts and who sits on the bench is the big question facing this england team? serena weigman is notorious for not changing a winning side. but, after a sluggish performance in their opening game, england could really do with sparking into life here in sydney. as for denmark, they're back at a world cup

for the first time in 16 years. in striker pernille harder, they have one of the game's great talents and someone who knows england well, having played alongside millie bright at chelsea. she's tough, she's like i say, goes 110% into everything she does. it will be difficult but i'll do everything i can do to also make it difficult for her. england will have a plan to deal with harder but they're not giving anything away. inside their base camp, they've been finalising preparations. those expecting wholesale changes might be disappointed. i do think serena will probably stick with the same team and start with alessia russo up top again because she just likes that continuity, i think. they found a way, they got a result. the mood in the camp is upbeat. soon we'll find out who has made the cut against denmark, but can they stamp their name on this tournament? katie gornal, bbc news, sydney.

we have been discussing the ulez charge, _ we have been discussing the ulez charge, as — we have been discussing the ulez charge, as ben well explained. that was a particular— charge, as ben well explained. trust was a particular issue in the by—elections. let me explain. the high court is set to publish a ruling this morning over the london mayor's plan to expand the ultra low emission zone to the capital's outer boroughs. five conservative—run councils launched legal action back in february over the extension, which is due to come into force on august the 29th. our reporter simonjones joins us now from west london. this already in place in central london but there are plans to extend it. is what has caused so much opposition. i it. is what has caused so much opposition-— it. is what has caused so much opposition. i am in kew, at the boundary _ opposition. i am in kew, at the boundary of — opposition. i am in kew, at the boundary of the _ opposition. i am in kew, at the boundary of the ultra _ opposition. i am in kew, at the boundary of the ultra low i opposition. i am in kew, at the i boundary of the ultra low emission zone. at the moment if he went for a

drink in the pubjust zone. at the moment if he went for a drink in the pub just across the road he would be in their zone, if he went for a drink in this pub, you would not be in their zone. the plan is to extend their zone further so all this area would be covered if the mayor gets his way. all london boroughs with be in the zone. the mayor is saying this is necessary because london is facing a public health emergency. he says that each year, around 4000 people are dying prematurely because of poor air quality. the new zone would mean if you have an older car that is more polluting, you would have to pay £12.50 a day to use it. that is why some councils here in london are so concerned because they say at the moment people are facing the cost of living crisis and this is an extra payment a could well do without. there legal challenge, we are going

to hear the result of that a bit later on this morning at the high court. what the councils are arguing is the mayor has acted illegally and gone too far by creating this zone. he says it is absolutely necessary. thank you. after a tumultuous week for natwest bank, it's announced a sharp rise in profits. here's hannah to take us through the numbers. natwest group pre—tax profits came to more than £3.5 billion in the first six months of this year — up from 2.6 billion in the same period last year. they will pay tax ofjust over £1 billion, but essentially what's happening here is banks making more money as interest rates go up. the average two—year fixed rate mortgage rate is now over 6.8%, meanwhile the best easy access savings rates available today are around 4.5%. that's a key part of how banks make their money — they charge you more to borrow than they give you if

you are able to save. but mps have previously criticised banks for not increasing savings rates as quickly as mortgages, and the chancellor has urged them all to pay out more too. these results from natwest this morning are better than analysts had expected, but they come at a difficult time for the bank. natwest owns coutts, which has been caught up in a row about the closure of nigel farage's bank account. the fallout from that has led to the resignation both of the boss of natwest group, dame alison rose, and then yesterday the chief executive of coutts itself, peter flayvel. from the bank's perspective there are questions over reputation, but financial performance is looking pretty strong. thank you. at least 26 people have died and a0 others were rescued after fierce winds caused panic on a passenger ferry in the philippines. the ferry turned upside down

when passengers suddenly crowded to one side as high winds in the aftermath of a typhoon struck the small vessel, according to officials. the philippine coastguard has launched an investigation. the united nations says it has suspended its humanitarian operations in niger, after the country's elected president was overthrown in a military coup. the un has demanded the immediate release of mohamed bazoum, who is being held captive. supporters of the coup have accused the president's party of corruption. the un says more than four million people in niger need humanitarian aid. the ministry of defence has launched an investigation after classified infomation was accidentally sent to a close ally of russia following a typing error. the emails were meant to go to the us military, who use the ".mil" domain, but this was misspelt — meaning the messages actually went to the west african nation of mali. officials say the emails will not compromise operational security. millions of us military emails have

also been sent to mali because of the same error. across europe, hundreds of firefighters continue to tackle wildfires which have forced thousands of people from their homes. now, leading scientists have warned thatjuly is "virtually certain" to be the world's warmest month on record. our reporter sofia bettiza is in calabria, southern italy. we can see some of the parched scorched land we can see some of the parched scorched [and behind you. are the authorities getting to grips with the fires, are they getting them under control?— under control? morning, ben. firefighters — under control? morning, ben. firefighters are _ under control? morning, ben. firefighters are still— under control? morning, ben. firefighters are still hard i under control? morning, ben. firefighters are still hard at i under control? morning, ben. i firefighters are still hard at work. they have had to battle more than 3000 fires in the last few days. yes, you can see behind me the aftermath of one of the fires. this gives a good idea of the scale. this whole valley used to be green. now

all you can see is burned out trees and child terrain. then, many of the fires have been blamed on arsonists. we spoke to some experts who told us up we spoke to some experts who told us up to 60% of the wildfires that were seenin up to 60% of the wildfires that were seen in italy were started by people. the question is, why would anybody want to start a deadly fire? lots of reasons. it could be offered here in the countryside to settle a dispute between neighbours. it can be done by accident. some people are even blaming firefighters. they claim they start some of the fires to try to get more funding. a lot of people in calabria told us it is often pyromaniac who just want to create chaos. because of the extreme heat, once the fire started when they are very difficult to contain. one woman told us what the people

are doing is destroying their own land and putting people's lives at risk. the fear he is still in southern italy is that strong winds and more scorching temperatures could lead to more fires and that in turn could lead to more loss of life. . ~' turn could lead to more loss of life. . ~ ,, y turn could lead to more loss of life. . ~ ,, , . turn could lead to more loss of life. . ~' y . ., turn could lead to more loss of life. . ~ , . ., ., an hour ago, ben told us about twiglet, the miniature dachshund that was stolen from a family home on wednesday afternoon and showed you these pictures. they are quite distressing. the video was released by essex police in an effort to catch the intruder who came in through a back door armed with a hammer, and kidnapped twiglet. he was really distressed as he was stolen from his home. some great news this morning.

well, we are thilled to say we've had it confirmed that twiglet has been found and is safe and well and back with his very happy owners. i think twigged it would be happier. imagine being taken out of your home, petrified. he is now back. those pictures are horrible. they are every family's nightmare. a beloved family pet like that. in those sorts of circumstances, so glad the story has a happy ending. i think we were all a bit shell—shocked about how horrible it was. great to know it has been resolved. b. was. great to know it has been resolved. �* . was. great to know it has been resolved-— was. great to know it has been resolved. �* . ., ., ., resolved. a nice day for going out for walkies _ resolved. a nice day for going out for walkies today. _ resolved. a nice day for going out for walkies today. the _ resolved. a nice day for going out for walkies today. the weather i resolved. a nice day for going out for walkies today. the weather is | for walkies today. the weather is looking a bit better. i went to a drier, brighter weather. this is the picture in cambridgeshire this morning. a day of sunny spells with

bright weather. a few showers around but not completely dry. a few places should avoid that showers and they will move through relatively quickly where you catch one. the wet weather yesterday has moved on towards the north and south was that this area of low pressure will put things downhill over the course of the weekend. areas of cloud drifting slowly eased, perhaps crowding over in east anglia. a few showers here and there. in eastern scotland there could be the odd heavy one but clearing through. sunny spells developing into the afternoon. temperatures around about 17 to 21! degrees, down a degree or so what we saw yesterday. still not bad. it will get cooler as we head through the weekend. the fifth test continues at the oval today. a decent of play. there could be passing shower squeezed out of the cloud footer into the evening most of us try to end the day. more dry weather in northern ireland pushing into the western parts of britain.

as her heavy downpours in east anglia and the south—east during the early hours of saturday. you may well make up to wet weather. through the course of the weekend it is looking rather mixed. sunshine and showers with the heaviest will be in the north and the north west. plus free for all of us. the temperature is not grateful this stage injuly. thank you. iskate is not grateful this stage in july. thank you-— is not grateful this stage in july. thank ou. ~ , ., thank you. we will see you later. startin: thank you. we will see you later. starting to _ thank you. we will see you later. starting to look— thank you. we will see you later. starting to look a _ thank you. we will see you later. starting to look a little _ thank you. we will see you later. starting to look a little better. i starting to look a little better. far too much rain in that forecast. i do not know what you have seen air which makes it look ok! there is nudity that we did this to my career friends with the orange bits. thank you. you later. do you know what an average portion size looks like? how many pieces of chocolate makes up one? or do you weigh your cereal to get the correct amount? the consumer watchdog which?

found information on packaging is inconsistent and confusing, and leads people to eat more calories, sugar and salt without realising. our reporter graham satchell has been on the streets to see if anyone can correctly guess the recommended portion sizes of some well—known foods. how closely do you read the labelling on food? would you know, for example, the recommended portion size for pringles or quality street or halloumi? how many portions do you think there are in that pack of halloumi? i think halloumi is probably... i think there's many more than i would guess. yeah. so you would have maybe...four. hmm. three at a push. how many portions do you reckon there are in this box of pringles? 0h. 100. 100 portions! i can eat the whole of that. i do love a quality street.

i do like the old toffees! do you know how many quality street you are meant to have — the recommended amount you're meant to have in one sitting? um, no. not that many. i would have said maybe six. six in one go? yeah. what would your guess be? probably three. which is close. for the record, the label says the recommended serving for quality street is two. a tub of pringles is meant to be five or six portions and 250 grams of halloumi is meant to serve approximately eight. in a survey today, the consumer group which? found portion information on food packaging, can be confusing, inconsistent and unrealistic. it says nutrition labelling is valuable for customers, but it needs to be based on meaningful and consistent portion sizes. the food and drink federation told us they're committed to providing clear and accurate information and a range of portion sizes are available to help consumers achieve a healthy, balanced diet.

to sit down and eat quality street, i can't imagine it. would you like one? no, thank you. back on the street, we met this man who has prunes for breakfast, sardine salad for lunch and banana and yoghurt for dinner. i'm 82 and i feel really fit. i mean, you don't look 82! my god, you look incredible. well, recommend my diet. thank you, sir. bye— bye. graeme satchell, bbc news. we'rejoined now by lisa webb, from which? and dietitian nichola ludlam—raine. morning to you both. you have kindly brought in some props to show us. you say kindly, we are not allowed to eat them. there will be a fight later! talk to me first of all about the problem. we see this stuff. we know it is not particularly healthy. we look at the front of a packet and say, it is 50 calories if i have some of this. in the case of crisps,

would normally be seen over the summer but this year there will be significantly fewer, and the islands have been closed to tourists. it is an issue across the uk. gareth barlow is in pembrokeshire. i look at this view and think it is absolutely beautiful. i am so tempted. i would love to be there and walk on the beach. if anyone does say, they may not always get the best of use. tia. does say, they may not always get the best of use.— does say, they may not always get the best of use. no, they may well find dead or _ the best of use. no, they may well find dead or dying _ the best of use. no, they may well find dead or dying seabirds. - the best of use. no, they may well find dead or dying seabirds. the i find dead or dying seabirds. the avian flu outbreak continues well into the summer on beaches like this one behind me in pembrokeshire and also across the uk. it's the largest ever outbreak of bird flu, and it still has the uk's birds in its grip. normally the virus dies down during the summer, but this year it's still ravaging wild bird populations, particularly along the coast. already this month, hundreds of dead birds have had to be removed

from beaches in aberdeenshire. avian flu has also hit the rspb coquet island for a second year, with fears growing for the rare roseate tern colony. meanwhile, the farne islands off the coast of northumberland, home to approximately 200,000 seabirds, has closed to visitors due to the outbreak. while here in pembrokeshire, huge numbers of seabirds are washing up on the shore. it started off as one or two on certain beaches here amroth was one of the first places, and then has spread along the southern coastline here in pembrokeshire. we've totted up. we think it's in the order of about 7—800 birds so far, which if you consider that's over a two—week period and we don't know what's to come yet, know who knows how many we could be talking about once this thing has run its course? and this is just one small corner of the uk. 50,000 wild birds are said to have died from avian flu last year, and the true figure is expected to be even higher. the reality is that birds that end up dead on beaches

like this one died out there. out in the ocean. so what we're seeing along our coastlines is most likely the tip of the iceberg. the rspb says more needs to be done to protect already threatened bird populations. our seabirds are already facing a cocktail of threats from damaging developments in their marine environment to warming oceans. on top of that, bird flu is already a crisis, and if governments don't step up their response soon, we risk that crisis becoming a full—scale catastrophe. the uk's national authorities say they are working with a range of agencies to respond to the flu outbreak and are closely monitoring wild bird populations. and new seabird conservation strategies are also in development. meanwhile, this summer, millions of us are already heading to the beaches where infected birds lie. we're working very closely with the national park, the national trust and the wildlife trust to ensure that where birds are, dead or sick birds are reported in,

they're collected and dealt with as quickly as possible. but is this message getting through? it's a bit worrying, isn't it? to say the least. absolutely. i thought that had | all cleared up now. judging by what was in - the newspapers and everything where they are, you know, the chickens are allowed . to go outside now and | they're not cooped up. i thought it had all ceased. to have a wonderful tourist result like this, and then to be struck with bird flu is going to really make you anxious if you're a hotelier or in a restaurant. a few people are concerned. we've had a few people come up to us and ask like, "oh, we've got dead birds on the beach." but obviously we can't really do anything about it. the uk health security agency says the risk posed by bird flu to humans is very low. but for the seabirds along our coastline, it remains a deadly threat. gareth barlow, bbc news, pembrokeshire. joining us for more on this is ten

from wildlife trust wales. give us a sense of the scale of the outbreak. how serious is it? people do not realise the scale of the problem. it is equivalent to the covid pandemic in the backs. 800 beds have been picked up in pembrokeshire already. —— the covid pandemic in birds. if you look over the north sea into holland, we know there has been devastation for the sandwich tern colonies. the government in wales in the uk need to really respond to the way to actually address the crisis. it is a huge crisis. the birds. let's not forget we have some of the most important colonies in the world. not farfrom here is 10% of the world gannet population. some of

for months up until, you know, into end of the next term, and i'm still waiting for my marks from the previous term and nothing's gone ahead. luckily, i've had my grade for graduation now, but i've had friends who have just received a certificate of completion, and essentially that means they don't have their final grade when they graduate, and that's really hard for them to then find employment. if you're heading to luton airport there's a warning you could face disruption due to a strike by car park staff. members of the unite union are walking out today and on tuesday in a dispute over pay. the action includes valet parking workers and bus drivers who take people to the terminals. a new guinness world record has been set in the capital for the fastest speed achieved by a vehicle indoors. formula e driverjake hughes reached almost 136 miles an hour, that's 218 kilometres an hour. it all happened at the excel centre in docklands which is hosting the motorsport�*s world championships. and aims to show what electric race cars can do. it feels absolutely incredible to be the world indoor [and

speed record holder. honestly, when i was driving down here tonight, i didn't quite realise how much it would mean, and i think i was buzzing honestly to be told afterwards, or to see actually, you know, that i have the record. it's something i'll cherish forever, i think. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between euston and watford junction and no service between new cross gate and west croydon / crystal palace. there's also no service on the bakerloo line between queens park and harrow & wealdstone. and minor delays on thejubilee line. weather now, here's sara. good morning. a really mild start this morning across the capital and the south—east, temperatures in the mid to high teens at the moment. and mostly it is dry. we do have quite a bit of cloud, thick enough for a touch of drizzle here and there. over the next few hours, the cloud is thinning and breaking, and a lot of dry and increasingly sunny weather through the afternoon. in the best of it, 22, 23 degrees. dry and clear at first through this evening and overnight, but by tomorrow morning we have a system working its way through the west which will bring heavy pulses of rain to start the day tomorrow morning,

a mild start again typically, and then on the pressure chart here's the bigger picture. there are frontal systems around, but also we do have some drier slots of weather and that looks like it will be unsettled again at the start of the new working week. so a bit topsy—turvy, when you look at the outlook you can see quite a lot of unsettled weather symbols but there will be some dry weather with sunshine at times, especially tomorrow afternoon and sunday. there's more on our website and on bbc radio london, where riz�*s special guest is a writer and chef. that's it for now. i'm back in half an hour. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. let's talk sport. chetan is with us.

we are about an hour away from kick—off in sydney, where england play denmark. we were talking about that first game against haiti, and all of that expectation. it was an underwhelming performance, but it was a i—o when. the underwhelming performance, but it was a 1-0 when.— was a 1-0 when. the result is what matters. absolutely. _ was a 1-0 when. the result is what matters. absolutely. this - was a 1-0 when. the result is what matters. absolutely. this is - was a 1-0 when. the result is what matters. absolutely. this is a - matters. absolutely. this is a tou . her matters. absolutely. this is a toughertest— matters. absolutely. this is a tougher test today, _ matters. absolutely. this is a tougher test today, and - matters. absolutely. this is a tougher test today, and we i matters. absolutely. this is a i tougher test today, and we have matters. absolutely. this is a - tougher test today, and we have had the team news as well and that is intriguing. our correspondentjane dougall is in sydney for us. it is getting closer to kick—off, and we have had sarina wiegman's team sheet come through, all the talk at the euros was about no changes, the consistency of that team, but there will be a couple of changes made this morning. yes. changes made this morning. yes, there has been, _ changes made this morning. yes, there has been, chetan. - changes made this morning. yes, there has been, chetan. night is falling in sydney. the team news has dropped. sarina wiegman did say that she might make changes, and she has made two. that is in defence, and

what she has done, she has dropped jess carter to the bench, and she has brought in rachel daly in her place, and that is controversial because rachel daly was called up to the squad as a striker. she plays up front for her club aston villa, and she has been playing recently as a striker. she has played very well, knocking on the goals for villa, but under phil neville, previous england manager, and in the past she has played in defence so she is a versatile player, and perhaps sarina wiegmanjust versatile player, and perhaps sarina wiegman just looking for a more watertight defence in this match against denmark, because there were against denmark, because there were a couple of mistakes england made in their opening match against haiti that she doesn't want to see this time around. the other changes she has made it up front. lauren hemp has made it up front. lauren hemp has been dropped to the bench, and laurenjames has been brought in in her place. interestingly, both laurenjames and rachel daly came on as substitutes in the match against haiti, so may be sarina wiegman watch them and thought they performed well as a team, and that

will be her starting 11. and with laurenjames up front maybe she is looking for something a little bit more, she did say that england must be more ruthless. a lot of chances went awry in their match against haiti, and they cannot make these mistakes again and they cannot miss these chances against a team like denmark which is just about to kick off in an hour at the football stadium. it is not all in their hands today, but if england win they can be a step closer to the knockout stages. what do you make of denmark as opponents? it will be a different challenge to the one that haiti post on saturday. the challenge to the one that haiti post on saturday-— on saturday. the questions that arose after— on saturday. the questions that arose after the _ on saturday. the questions that arose after the haiti _ on saturday. the questions that arose after the haiti game - on saturday. the questions that arose after the haiti game were j arose after the haiti game were because it was haiti's debut world cup, and england as the euros winners, you really should be beating them by a substantial margin, and it was a narrow win, reid taken penalty that georgia stanway took, and that was the

margin of win, which of course is a slow start to the tournament, but then they have done that before. against denmark, they don't want to do that, because denmark are top of their group. if other results go their group. if other results go their way, their group. if other results go theirway, england their group. if other results go their way, england will leapfrog to their way, england will leapfrog to the top of the group. the other match later on today is between china and haiti, and if haiti win, or if they get a draw, an england win in an hour, then they will go through to the knockout stages, but it is not as easy as that. denmark are a step up from haiti, ranked 14th in the fifa rankings, but this is their first world cup since 2007, so they haven't managed to qualify for a while. but they have got one of the best squads in the world, pernille harder who until recently played for chelsea, so england will have to keep a tight eye on her, although fortunately, one of her

team—mates, former team—mates, millie bright, plays for chelsea, show she will know how pernille harder works in front of goal. the good thing about england is perhaps they know that it is not time to peak yet. the best teams in tournaments peek at the right times, and will be later on. fingers crossed. ~ and will be later on. fingers crossed-— crossed. we look forward to kick-off. — crossed. we look forward to kick-off, around _ crossed. we look forward to kick-off, around 50 - crossed. we look forward to j kick-off, around 50 minutes crossed. we look forward to - kick-off, around 50 minutes away in kick—off, around 50 minutes away in sydney. jane, thank you. live coverage of that straight after breakfast, on bbc one, kick off at 930. australia have the edge going into the second day of the fifth test at the oval. remember as holders the aussies have already retained the ashes but england are hoping to draw the series 2—2. the tourists won the toss and chose to bowl which began to pay off as after a good start england slipped to 73—3. harry brook was england's star man with the bat, scoring 85 offjust 91 before a second collapse saw england all out for 283. australia will return to the crease this morning on 61—1, 222 runs behind. those are not the cricket pictures you

i think we got a respectable total, we have a few more than we were probably expecting, and ifeel like they bowled quite well, and they had a decent day in the end as well. what about conditions this morning, did you feel you are in for a big test? tt did you feel you are in for a big test? . , did you feel you are in for a big test? ., , ., ., , ., test? it was tough to start with, the ball was _ test? it was tough to start with, the ball was doing _ test? it was tough to start with, the ball was doing a _ test? it was tough to start with, the ball was doing a fair - test? it was tough to start with, the ball was doing a fair bit, - test? it was tough to start with, | the ball was doing a fair bit, and test? it was tough to start with, i the ball was doing a fair bit, and i we got that bit of luck early on which helped, but yes, they were all in good areas, and the pitch was helping. belgium's lotta kopecky continues to lead the tour de france femmes with three stages to go, as she closes in on her first major cycling tour title. kopecky finished fourth on stage five — 32 seconds behind germany's ricarda bauernfeind — who attacked with 36km to go — and managed to race clear to win her first tour stage. kopecky keeps hold of the yellow jersey — with a lead of 43 seconds. ukraine's olga kharlan was disqualified from the world fencing championships after refusing to shake hands with russian anna smirnova. kharlan was the first fencer to face a russian or belarusian

since the invasion of her homeland — and went on to win15—7 in milan. afterwards she rejected a handshake, instead offering her sabre to tap blades — something that led to her disqualification from the women's sabre individual event. this summer of sport continues with the netball world cup in south africa. the first games got under way at eight o'clock this morning. 16 teams are taking part in cape town, with scotland, wales and england all in action later. england's roses are ranked third in the world, and will be hoping to emulate that winning moment at the commonwealth games in 2018 on the gold coast. matt graveling looks ahead for us. scotland ranked tenth wales missed out on qualification four years ago. helen housby to take... yes! it was a golden moment. england have done it! england v australia and the most thrilling of finales at the commonwealth games. but five years on, can they do it again on the biggest stage of all? the mindset is definitely

that we want to perform well, and we want to build on what's been a number of past experiences. layla guscoth will co—captain the third—ranked roses as they start their campaign against barbados in cape town. we've just sat down and pinpointed a number of key areas that we feel are important to contribute to success in the summer. butjoining england in group b is scotland, a young thistles team flying to south africa, ranked tenth in the world and led by a coach who's no stranger to the world cup or to england. former roses player tamsin greenway. you know, we are still an underdog team. we're really young group. there's still players in this competition that haven't even competed at super league level. so that kind of shows that disparity. however, they're not afraid. so for us, it's kind of go out there, show what we're made of, and enjoy the experience and learn massively from it. the teams to beat remain the holders new zealand and australia, who are ranked number one

in the world and will be hoping to add world cup success to this commonwealth gold they won last summer. they win their fourth netball gold medal at the commonwealth games. in total, 16 teams will compete over ten days, with wales given the tough job of first facing the hosts, south africa. having missed out on the last world cup, just two members of the feathers squad have experience of the tournament. it seems like a longtime ago now, 2015 in sydney, but after not qualifying four years ago, it's even more special. hopefully i can share some of my experiences with the girls. really looking forward to getting out there now and getting going. while wales and scotland's primary aim is to progress through the groups, england, who have finished third in the last three world cups, will hope to this time make the final on the 6th of august. matt graveling, bbc news. the first time an african nation has hosted the tournament. england, scotland and wales all play later on

today. are you going to hunker down and get ready to watch the football now? chetan, thank you. 50 minutes until the coverage starts here on bbc one at nine o'clock. if you're looking to sell your house, there's possibly some bad news this morning. new figures show how rising mortgage rates have led to a big fall in demand. hannah's looking at this for us. perhaps not surprising, with the cost of mortgages going up. yes. cost of mortgages going up. yes, whether you _ cost of mortgages going up. yes, whether you are _ cost of mortgages going up. yes, whether you are renting - cost of mortgages going up. ye: whether you are renting or remortgaging, it is a tough time in the housing market at the moment. yes, there's been a lot of concern over those rising mortgage costs and new research today shows the impact it's having on the housing market. the number of people looking to buy a property is down by nearly a fifth since last month. and down a0%, not far off half, compared to last year.

but the impacts are not the same across the country, with prices falling more in the south of england and properties worth more than £300,000 could be more exposed to falls in their value. we spoke to dave who has recently remortgaged his house in solihull. he doesn't want to sell his family home but will struggle to afford the new monthly payments. our previous mortgage was £1300, and on the _ our previous mortgage was £1300, and on the new_ our previous mortgage was £1300, and on the new deal it is £1900. my salary— on the new deal it is £1900. my salary is — on the new deal it is £1900. my salary is £2100 a month, so that is paying _ salary is £2100 a month, so that is paying the — salary is £2100 a month, so that is paying the mortgage, that's it. my salary— paying the mortgage, that's it. my salary pays the mortgage. plus my travel— salary pays the mortgage. plus my travel to— salary pays the mortgage. plus my travel to and from work, that is it. we live _ travel to and from work, that is it. we live off— travel to and from work, that is it. we live off my wife's salary, and every _ we live off my wife's salary, and every single bill is rising, and that— every single bill is rising, and that is— every single bill is rising, and that is it _ every single bill is rising, and that is it. put food in the cupboard, put food in the fridge, but there — cupboard, put food in the fridge, but there is nothing after that, so any eventuality, any surprise, any

costs soaring as well. so all eyes will be on the bank of england next week when they make another decision on interest rates. ben and naga. those interest rates are simply not predicted to get back to the levels that we were seeing a couple of years ago. we are in a period where things are really readjusting and people having to change their budgets accordingly.- people having to change their budgets accordingly. inflation is 'ust too budgets accordingly. inflation is just too high. — budgets accordingly. inflation is just too high, and _ budgets accordingly. inflation is just too high, and that - budgets accordingly. inflation is just too high, and that is - budgets accordingly. inflation is just too high, and that is the . budgets accordingly. inflation is i just too high, and that is the bank of england's minute, to contain it. hannah, thank you, see you later. it is a real problem, because people aren't used to interest rates being so high for a very long time. the cost of borrowing has been so low for so long, and people have got used to money being cheaper, but it is as hannah was telling us a readjustment time. do note else, i —— do you know what else i have got used to? good weather. but now i am used to rain! which is good for the gardeners and

agriculture, but if you want to get out, particularly with the weekend coming up, sarah keith—lucas, are there any shower dodging moments? absolutely, you will be able to dodge _ moments? absolutely, you will be able to dodge some _ moments? absolutely, you will be able to dodge some showers. - moments? absolutely, you will be able to dodge some showers. we l able to dodge some showers. we needed the rain. june was the warmest on record in the uk, very dry. july a completely different story, it has been raining almost every day this month, and there is more to come. but today is looking a little bit better out there. if you have outdoor plans, there is sunshine from the word go, sunny spells, one or two showers around, so not completely dry, and if we look at how wet it has been this july so far, this is the amount of rainfall we would expect. and already northern england has seen 180% of the expected july rainfall on average, so it has been particularly wet. all parts of the

uk well above 100% of thejuly rainfall. these figures will certainly be up on that, and some places have seen the wettestjuly on record. but today we are between weather fronts, record. but today we are between weatherfronts, so record. but today we are between weather fronts, so we have the breeze coming in from the south—west, areas of cloud drifting around. one or two showers, perhaps around. one or two showers, perhaps a few for southern england, the old heavy one for parts of northern england, and it will brighten up this afternoon for scotland and northern england. sunny spells in general, just down a notch on temperatures we had yesterday. but of course, the fifth test continued at the oval, a good deal of play, during the next few days you are more likely to see interruptions, but you're more likely to see sunny and dry weather too. most of us ending the day on a dry note, but overnight more heavy showers move in from the west, so this line of showers through the early hours of saturday and also some potentially

torrential downpours overnight. temperatures 12—15, but generally through the weekend it is looking unsubtle, so the headline is sunshine and showers, breezy conditions and rather cool for the weekend. all down to the fact that low pressure again is with us, drifting eastwards, quite a few isobars on the southern side of that low pressure, so blustery conditions for northern ireland, parts of england and wales. sunshine and showers that will drift through on the breeze, most of them for northern ireland and scotland later in the day, they could be heavy and thundery. furthersouth in the day, they could be heavy and thundery. further south across england and wales, they are few and far between. blustery, 18—22, a touch cooler. into the second half of the weekend, lower pressure still with us, gradually drifting eastwards, so we could start sunday with some torrential showers for parts of scotland and northern england, thunderstorms likely too. more patchy rain working in from the

west, but some afternoon sunshine for scotland and eastern england as well, blustery winds from a westerly direction. top temperatures on sunday 18—21 , so cooling down over the next few days, the messages get out there and enjoy any sunshine. lots of shower dodging moments there, sarah, you always deliver. thank you. we don't ask for much, just a moment to dodge a shower! three brothers who were busking to raise money to buy themselves new instruments, decided the money they raised could be put to a better use, when they heard about a big issue seller whose dog died in an accident. rebecca, who was homeless, was devastated when her collie poppy was killed in december in sidmouth, in devon. but the band of brothers came to her rescue. eve watson has the story. from day one, she was just my rock. rebecca's dog, poppy, died after it was hit by a car last december. amazing dog. loyal, loved other people over dogs.

she was a rock for me when sleeping in a tent. so just great to be around, really. poppy had been her therapy dog while she was homeless. when i lost her, it was a very big shock. stayed in my room. couldn't even talk about it at the time. but help came from an unlikely source. three brothers from sidmouth. dan. casey. buddy. when our dad came to us and said, like, about a lady losing her dog, and then we found and then told us that she lives in a hostel and that like she can't afford to get a new one, we asked dad if we could, like, save up to buy her one. and £450 of busked money later, the boys had enough to buy her a new dog. thank you. this is rebecca's new dog, rainbow. and how did it make you feel seeing her react to receiving the dog? great.

because, like, that - meant so much to her, and she found it so hard to, like, live without her dog. l like, she really needed another one. glad that she had another dog. glad that she had someone to hug and be with. very proud of them. it's always nice to see your children giving back. - everyone's been so giving to them for the couple of years _ they've been busking. it's nice to acknowledge that people are giving to them. l they can give back as well. and it's a nice achievement for them as well. _ what was your reaction when you when you saw rainbow for the first time? when i saw the kids at the door, i was like, what are they doing here? and then i spotted them holding the little puppy. and ijust knew then, it was just... i broke down in tears straightaway. so, yeah, it'sjust overwhelming. incredible. absolutely amazing children.
