be settled with a game to spare in cape town on wednesday. australia and england have already qualified from one group, while in the other three teams still have a chance to fill the two positions. defending champions new zelaand are top at the moment with jamaica behind. they meet south africa later. and that's all the sport for now. the met office has has confirmed thatjuly has been one of the wettest on record. the wet conditions are causing a big problem forfarmers, who are struggling to harvest quickly and efficiently. our environment correspondent jonah fisher reports. growing crops without water is impossible. but too much rain creates problems too. eleanor gilbert is from a farming family in berkshire and is learning to work in a changing climate. this morning, because the sun
11:51 am
is finally shining, we're off to harvest some oilseed rape. after a july dominated by rain, she's making the most of a break in the weather to harvest crops that ideally should no longer be in the ground. eleanor is working with her youngersister, lucy, to bring in the rapeseed. such is the pressure to finish the job before the rain starts again that they've been working late into the night. but the crop is still too moist, and warm air has to be pumped through it on the floor of this store to try and make it dry enough to be sold. if we send it off higher than a 15% moisture content, we'll get rejections and also fines. best way to tell, farmers like to bite. you can tell there's too much moisture. in north herefordshire, it's time to pick the blackcurrants for a well—known cordial.
11:52 am
it rained a lot here injuly too, but that's not the biggest problem. blackcurrants are a sensitive bunch, and last winter there just weren't enough cold days. it means that we've got this very uneven bud break, we've got uneven flowering, and we've got a very uneven harvest with some... there will be some berries here that will be on the ground because they were ripe too early, and there will be some that potentially are not quite ripe. they'll get a crop this year, but work is continuing to develop tougher blackcurrant varieties, better suited to our changing climate. global warming is already making the uk's weather hotter and wetter. what farmers can successfully grow in british soil is changing too. there are more than 50,000 deaf
11:53 am
children living in the uk, and 90% of those are born to hearing parents with little or no experience of deafness. 0ne family is now calling for better access to free british sign language classes, after struggling to communicate with their two deaf children. 0ur reporter katie martin has been to meet them. it's the battle that people often don't have the time or the resources to fight. i'm yasmin. i'm here at home with my family. i've got my husband, sam, and my two children, 0bi and iris. me and sam, we're both hearing, and the two children are both deaf. 0bi was born profoundly deaf, so he was quite a straightforward candidate for cochlear implants, whereas iris was born moderate, severely deaf. she was the next measurable point, down from being accepted in the criteria. her hearing has deteriorated, which has got her over that line, so she can get some access to sound, hopefully, with cochlear implants. helicopter. helicopter! it was so hard. we didn't we didn't know anything about deaf people.
11:54 am
we didn't know anything about the deaf community. there are no deaf schools of deaf units in dorset. there's not as many deaf children in this area. and that meant there was no ready—made bsl classes down the road. and the waiting list for the one that was in our local college was, you know, we were going to have to wait nine months to get on the course and we needed something then and there. the cost of learning bsl is a barrier for many families with a deaf child and they often look to charities to cover the cost. there's no funding, you know, you don'tjust get, here's some funding for you to learn a language that your child needs. you have to push and fight and source that funding from every avenue possible. it was only really when we had our second child, iris, that was deaf that things started to fall into place. what is that one? we've now got some funding from the dorset deaf children society to have more sign language tuition for the family as well, especially now 0bi and iris are getting older. they need full on sentences. they don'tjust need the odd
11:55 am
word that you can pick up on youtube videos. they need language. like a hearing child would have english, they need bsl input. yasmin applied for a grant from the birkdale trust, but the funding only covers one parent for one child to learn level 1 bsl, it's not ongoing. level1 is £500—ish, give or take. it increases by about £100, £150 each level. and from what i've looked at, i think we're going to have to go to at least level 3 to be able to communicate effectively. so it's important for 0bi that he does have access to spoken language. it's even more important for iris, given that it's her only language. at nighttime, they don't wear their ears. when they're poorly, they don't wear their ears, when they're tired, they don't wear their ears. so, you know, you need to be able to have that communication. and iris is getting to an age where she wants to walk around. but you can't, you know, say, "iris, this way!" she can't hear you. despite the challenges
11:56 am
they face every day, yasmin and sam are unwavering in their commitment to giving 0bi and iris as many communication skills as they can to equip them for the hearing world. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. the unsettled weather continues today with some heavy, thundery rain and some strong winds. low pressure is driving the weather, it is pulling from the west towards the east, taking its rain with it, followed by showers and you can see from the isobars it is going to be windy, particularly so in areas adjacent to the english channel. now, that is to affect our coastline across the southwest, southern counties of england, the channel islands with gusts widely a0 to 55 mph, locally with exposure, up to 60 miles an hour. meteo france, because of the effects it is having in north—west france, have actually named this system storm patricia. so, for us, we've got
11:57 am
the rain continuing to push over to the east, lingering across north—east england, heavy showers pushing over to the south—east, some of those thundery. for scotland and for northern ireland and for parts of wales, it will brighten up as we go through the afternoon. but nonetheless, there will still be some showers. through this evening and overnight, rain pushes away from the south—east, we have the wind change direction to northerly, pulling in some cloud and also some showers and these are our overnight lows, 12 to 1a degrees. as we go through tomorrow, what you'll find is the low pressure will have moved away, we are all in this northerly or north—westerly air stream, it's going to be a blustery day and, once again, it is going to be a mixture of bright spells, areas of cloud, some sunny spells and some showers. a lot of the showers will be in the north and also the west, some getting into some central areas, some of us will miss them altogether and have a dry day. but in that wind, it will feel cool,
11:58 am
temperatures below average for the time of year. we are looking at highs of 1a celsius in stornoway to 21 degrees as we push down towards london. into friday, more of the same, really, we are still in this north—westerly blustery wind with some showers. this time, though, perhaps more of them will be across central and eastern areas, where across eastern england, south—east scotland, they could be heavy and thundery. temperatures 13 to about 19 degrees, so coming down just that little bit. into the weekend, still some devil in the detail for saturday. but it looks like a new area of low pressure is going to bring in some rain and then into sunday, we are back into showers but it remains unsettled into the beginning of next week.
