in england as patient waiting lists hit record levels. the government's accused of moving more asylum seekers onto the bibby stockholm last week despite knowing traces of legionella had been found on the barge. are you paying too much for convenience? supermarkets are told they need to make it cheaper for people to shop in their smaller town centre stores. in sport, chelsea smash the british transfer record twice in the same year as they agree a deal to sign the brighton midfielder moises caicedo for £115 million, pipping liverpool to his signature. and we meet the woman hoping to become the first person with a stoma to swim the channel. good morning. today we have got some heavy and persistent rain moving north eastwards across england and wales, being replaced later by sunny

lahaina was engulfed in flames remains in its early stages. the latest update we had 2a hours ago is that the crew blew back working with cadaver dogs have only covered 3%, that will have increased but it is still in the early stages and the relief effort is ongoing. a lot of local people have been taking it on themselves. lahaina has only one road and there is a checkpoint and only residents with identification is allowed through. that has been subject to criticism because a lot of the residents have their id cards in their belongings in the ashes. the authorities have been very clear about why they are controlling access to the devastated city because there are still remains that are uncovered, and they don't want people unknowingly to tread on them. tourism of course, this estate
6:06 am
relies on tourism. they are encouraging people not to visit maui at the moment. they understand it is at the moment. they understand it is a beautiful place and people want to come, they are not saying don't come to hawaii, they are saying don't come to maui, they want to keep hotel rooms free for the more than 4000 people who have been made homeless on an island where there was already a severe housing crisis. thank you very much, sophie, live in maui. targets for cancer waiting times could be dropped as nhs england aims to make diagnosis and treatment timelines easier to understand for patients. the targets have been routinely missed in recent years as our health editor hugh pym reports. nhs england says the aim is to simplify and update cancer standards with advice from clinical leaders. most cancer targets have been missed for some time. a consultation exercise was started last year and the outcome is set to be published imminently, subject to final approval by ministers. three targets would be maintained.
6:07 am
diagnosis of cancer within 28 days of referral, the start of treatment within two months of an urgent referral, and treatment starting one month after a decision to treat. but other targets, for example, a two week wait from an urgent gp referral to see a consultant, including for breast cancer patients, will be dropped. an nhs spokesperson said the changes would remove the need for unnecessary outpatient appointments in order to comply with waiting time rules and allow more patients to get a faster diagnosis. but a spokesperson for the catch up with cancer campaign said while chasing too many targets could be disruptive, the real truth was not enough was being invested in treatment capacity, and tinkering at the edges with sound bites would not put this right. hugh pym, bbc news. dorset council claims that a home office official was told about traces of the potentially—deadly legionella bacteria, found on an accommodation barge

6:09 am
is, what happened between then, tuesday of last week and thursday, because we are told that ministers were not made aware of the problem until thursday. and there is some suggestion perhaps that it was because there were lower levels of legionella initially, that proved to be higher which is when ultimately they decided to act to move the 49 men who had been put on board the bibby stockholm off, eventually on friday of last week. but lots and lots of problems with this particular accommodation. we had a former cabinet minister in david davis over the weekend accusing the home office of startling incompetence. rishi sunak has been on holiday in california for the past ten days, he is due back in his big pledge to stop the boats under intense scrutiny once again particularly after the tragic loss of life we saw at the weekend on saturday, six people dying in the channel. . ~ saturday, six people dying in the channel. ., ,, , ., , . around 3.9 million working days have been lost to industrial

action in the past year, more than at any point since the 1980s. the report by the resolution foundation think tank says many of the strikes have been fuelled by a real—terms drop in pay of more than 9% in several sectors. an education union has called on the first minister of scotland to take action on the "lack ofjob security" among newly qualified teachers. the educational institute of scotland said teachers have been appointed on short—term, temporary contracts. a spokesperson for the scottish government said that while teachers are employed by local authorities and not the government, it is "taking strong action to protect increased teacher numbers". two people remain in a serious condition in hospital after a car crashed into a campsite. nine people were injured when the car the left the road in pembrokeshire on saturday night. matthew murray reports. it was just after 10.30 at night when the ford fiesta left the road which runs alongside the campsite here at newgale near st david's in pembrokeshire.
6:11 am
there's no barrier or hedge between the campsite field and the road, just this small bank and a ditch. the car rolled three times before landing on top of several people who were sitting outside their tent. the owner of the campsite, mike harris, told me the car also rolled over a tent where a baby was sleeping, but the child was protected by his cot. there was carnage. there were people bewildered, people in shock, people who didn't know what was going on. and there were people that were injured, screaming and asking for help. the immediate concern for everybody was what happened to the baby. and when they went into the tent, the cot was there and had managed to protect the baby from any injuries, which is another miracle to be fair. the skid marks from the car are just behind me on the road here. now, i've seen the cctv footage as well from the campsite. it shows the car losing control, spinning 180 degrees and then rolling onto the campsite here. it rolled three times before ending up at its final destination,
6:12 am
which is around about 70 metres from here. fern wilson and joshua tam, who is a firefighter on holiday at the campsite, helped the injured. well, you ran pretty much straightaway over to go help. we just tried to help as much as possible with first aid. and yeah, we heard the crash pretty much as it happened. everyone got there pretty quick. you helped move the car over? yeah. setting up space where we could treat the people. one person was airlifted to the university hospital of wales in cardiff by a coastguard rescue helicopter, while police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. matt murray, bbc news, newgale in pembrokeshire. the volunteer mountain rescue team which helps those who get into trouble on yr wyddfa, also known as snowdon in north wales, say they have seen a dramatic rise in call—outs this year. members of llanberis mountain rescue have warned that the situation could become unsustainable if the number of emergencies they have to deal with continues to rise.
6:13 am
messages encouraging smokers to quit could be added to the inside of cigarette packs under proposals being considered by the government. warnings have been printed on the outside of boxes for 50 years. matt cole has more. images like this have been on cigarette packets since the late noughties. written warnings have been around even longer, but now the plan is to think inside the box. messages could be popped into packets which would set out the health and financial benefits of giving up and offer information on support for quitting. the grim warnings on the outside are warnings about the harm. and they help prevent children from starting to smoke and they help encourage smokers to think about why they should quit. but you can't put much information on them. so the pack inserts can give you a lot more information about how best to quit. the department of health says
6:14 am
a similar scheme in canada found those exposed to the inserts multiple times were significantly more likely to try to give up smoking. the uk government believes smoking places a huge burden on the nhs, claiming it is the single leading preventable cause of illness and mortality in the uk, resulting in nearly 4% of all hospital admissions at an annual cost to the nhs of £2 billion a year. the government wants to drive those figures down, having pledged to have fewer than 5% of britain smoking by 2030. earlier this year, experts predicted that target would be missed without further action. but if the idea to put inserts into packets is taken up, the government believes they could help an additional 30,000 smokers to quit their habit. the consultation on this new approach will run until october. matt cole, bbc news.

6:16 am
good morning. we had a deluge of rain last night across parts of england and wales, parts of wales had in excess of an inch of an amount of rain so that tells its own story. we have low pressure moving across as so an unsubtle start of the day and high—pressure moves into its terms drier and sunnier. we could see some rain and some thunderstorms. today we have got an area of low pressure, moving north and east taking its rain with it. the heaviest is at the moment across england and wales. we have showers across northern parts of scotland as well. in between, clearer conditions. as we head to the morning the rain will continue to advance north and east, the heaviest by the afternoon will be across north—west england and north wales, the risk of flooding from this rain and there will be a lot of surface water and spray around. behind it a
6:17 am
return to bright spells, sunshine and showers. some rain could clip southern scotland but for most of scotland and northern ireland, we are looking at a drier day with some sunshine and some showers. top temperatures 16 to 24 degrees. this evening and overnight, low pressure moves north and east dragging rain into the north sea, then we will have clearer skies, the odd spot of rain here and there and these are the temperatures, 11 to 14 degrees. it's not going to be a cold night. high—pressure bills into things will be a little bit more settled tomorrow. when gill castle had to be fitted with a stoma bag, following a traumatic birth, she was determined to show her son that it wouldn't stop her from achieving anything in her life. she is now attempting to become the first person with a colostomy pouch to swim the channel. and alongside herfamily, she's got a famous fan cheering her on, as alison freeman discovered when she went to see
6:18 am
her in training. gill is unstoppable. here we are at ben nevis. everyone should do this. whoa! flip! 12 years ago, she was so badly injured during the birth of her son that she had to have a stoma fitted. it diverts her bowel to a bag on her abdomen. but in just over a week's time, she's aiming to become the first woman with a stoma to swim the channel. there's a lot of people with stomas, are really, really fearful to be active and to go out there and to do things. they think they're going to bejudged by people, particularly swimming. a lot of people won't go to their local pool. and this is kind of like my really in—your—face way of saying, if i can swim the channel, you can go to your local pool. but really, ultimately, my everything is to show my son that his birth didn't ruin my life.
6:19 am
times were tough for gill at first. she found it hard to manage her stoma, her mental health suffered, and she was no longer able to keep working as a police officer. gill also felt frustrated by the lack of support available to her. people didn't really know what to do with me. people kept saying, "you're really unique," which is not what you want to hear because you want you want to feel safe and looked after and that people know what they're doing. so i was sort of left really for years to try and sort it out myself. it sounds quite lonely. yeah, it was really lonely, yeah, it was really lonely. and the problem is when you have a baby and things go a bit wrong with your body, for a lot of people, there's a lot of shame about that. me personally, i've never had any shame about what happened to me because at the end of the day, it's not my fault. but nobody talks about the fact that things go wrong. so when i did come out in public, i was flooded with contact
6:20 am
from other mums saying, "wow, i'm so pleased that somebody is actually speaking out." and i guess this is why i do what i do. gill's efforts to raise awareness and understanding of people fitted with stomas has led to a friendship with the artist tracey emin. she had one fitted after surgery for bladder cancer. when i found out i had to have the ostomy stoma, i said, "no, i don't want it," i said to my surgeon, "no, i'm not having it. anything, anything but that." he said, "well, there is one other option." iwent, "right, i'll take it. i don't care what it is, i'll take it. i'll have that." he said "you won't like it. i said, "i don't care." he said, "it's death." and i said, "you know what? i'll take the bag. " the fact that you swim, do eight mile swims and all this kind of thing, and it's a major inspiration for anybody that has a stoma or anybody
6:21 am
that has a disability. and so i would just already congratulate you on that. and whether you do that bloody swim or not, you will still get 100% of the money that i'm going to sponsor you with. so there you go. i don't even know what to say! also cheering gill on are her parents who'll be watching her progress from their home in northumberland via a tracker. they're obviously proud of her achievements. i must admit, at the beginning, also, i really didn't understand what was happening either. and i don't think gillian did. and to overcome that really through her own strength of will and determination is amazing. but it was devastating. i shall sit up all night to watch, see what happens, you know. he sat up all night to watch the moon landing, so it's on par with the moon landing. oh, yes, i did! i saw the moon landing, won't say landing, first step on the moon, then i went straight to bed. i said, that's it. history has been made. so when gill puts her feet on french soil, that'll be a moment
6:22 am
of history for you as well. yes, definitely, definitely. when i spoke to your mum and dad a moment ago, your dad said it was as important as man stepping foot on the moon. are you feeling the pressure a little bit here? i do but really, the channel now isn't as important as the journey that i've already been on and taken other people on with me. you know, i've already shown people that you can swim for six hours in the sea with a stoma. i've got a lot of attention already on birth trauma, on childbirth injuries, so really, in many ways, myjob's kind of already done. and getting to france will be the icing on the cake. i'm ready. bring it on! alison freeman, bbc news, northumberland. bring news, northumberland. it on indeed! well done, f your bring it on indeed! well done, for your training, bring it on indeed! well done, for yourtraining, we are bring it on indeed! well done, for your training, we are looking out for your next expedition. good luck, that looks great. and you can hear more about gill's story on bbc sounds, just search for the stoma swimmer.
6:23 am
let's take a look at today's papers. the times says "gunfire and clashes involving migrants desperate to get to britain" broke out in a camp in dunkirk hours before a small boat sank in the channel killing six people, according to witnesses. it writes chaos spread through a camp on friday as migrants prepared to board boats laid on by smuggling gangs. the mirror leads on the tragic story of the campsite crash in pembrokeshire and the incredible escape of a baby who survived. elsewhere, the i reports that a "surprise" rise in inflation is set to hit next month which could add hundreds of millions to the state pension pot for next year. and "0ur wurst nightmare" is the sun's headline. the paper reports that should england captain harry kane's fourth child be born in munich, following the striker�*s move there,

6:26 am
insweep. working with adam, it's really- motivational because you're getting taught by an olympic athlete. for these young swimmers, it's a dream come true. getting coaching from a triple olympic champion and world record holder. these kids have huge potential. i was exactly there 20 years ago. i'm an old boy now, 28 years old, but i'm trying to send as much knowledge down to the grassroots as possible. encouragement. i love doing it and it's great for the sport to grow. all right? let's get back in. adam and his team set up these training camps with the aim of inspiring youngsters notjust to swim, but to win. and they've been getting some top tips. only focus on your race, and like just be in a positive mindset and think that you can win. stay calm, don't overthink it or anything like that. - i've learned that quite well. to get more up out of the water, to, like, really push forward to get to the wall in a fast time.
6:27 am
the sessions aren't limited to the pool. there's also a focus on fitness training and the psychology which goes into achieving success. all these kids aren't going to make it to the olympics. it's just impossible when you've only got 30 athletes who can possibly make it. but we can also give them skills that they're going to use for the rest of their life and look back with fond memories ofjoy in the sport. he set up the race clinics with his training partner, and they know what it takes to spot talent. we always see some people and adam myself literally look each other from across the poolside and we'll give each other the point of, that's special. what's your biggest dream? to be great. oh, yes, to be great! come on. that's awesome. but it's not just about who's the fastest swimmer. it's about what characteristics we help them develop to be the best people they can be. and there was also a chance to feel olympic success with a touch of the medals many here dream of one day winning. let's go. after these clinics, adam too will focus on his training

a garden light at the king harold pub in harold wood in 2018. commercial properties like pubs are required to have what's called an electric installation condition report every five years, but daniellejones believes safety is still an issue. i would love it to be an annual inspection because you have such a large foot flow. it's got to be safe for the public. so i don't see why they can't have checks carried out annually, just to sign off that everything is ok. if there's no installation, then that's fine. if there is new installations, then they have a certificate to prove that the outdoor lighting or if there's been an extension, that the electrics are safe. a strike byjunior doctors is continuing across london. it's part of a long—running dispute over pay and conditions. health bosses have warned patients there will be disruption to services until tomorrow. residents in greenwich are being offered the chance

6:31 am
it will be dry for a time with some sunshine around, but i think that the cloud will build by the end of the afternoon with a few showers move in from the west. temperatures today at around 22 celsius, and there will be a noticeable breeze around. this evening, any showers will eventually clear out to the east, so very settled conditions overnight. it will be largely dry with clear skies. and under those clear skies, slightly cooler than the night we just had. our temperatures will fall away to around 10—12 degrees. so into tomorrow, overall it will be a drier day, it will be a brighter day, but for many of us it should stay mostly dry with just the chance of a few showers around. and winds will be light on wednesday, very settled conditions with decent spells of sunshine, similar on thursday. welcome back to breakfast. monday morning. the us state of hawaii is bracing

itself for a significant rise in casualties following deadly wildfires in which 93 people are known to have died so far. it is thought that figure could go up it is thought that figure could go up considerably. hundreds remain unaccounted for while many others are staying in shelters across maui after having to flee their homes. meanwhile it remains unclear if early warning systems were used or if they malfunctioned, with many people telling the bbc they were not forewarned about the fires. the state's attorney general is conducting a review into how the authorities responded. we can speak now to kim mclaughlin, who works at a diving firm in maui. thank you so much forjoining us, and we are so sorry about what you and we are so sorry about what you and people there have been going through. how are things looking today? through. how are things looking toda ? . ~ through. how are things looking toda ? ., ~' through. how are things looking toda ? ., ,, ., ., today? thank you for having me. i actually sell _ today? thank you for having me. i actually sell real _ today? thank you for having me. i actually sell real estate _ today? thank you for having me. i actually sell real estate here, - today? thank you for having me. i actually sell real estate here, but| actually sell real estate here, but i'm very happy to be here. things

6:34 am
organisations as the red cross, fema, that are doing their parts, but there are a lot of grassroots people in the community that are hand picking ways that they can help, costco runs, deliveries, donors bring in that allows us to bring directly with families and individuals, and the amount of people not only lost their homes but also theirjobs, they really need every ounce that we can help them. well done you for the help that you have given them so far. it must be hard to know where to begin with such a huge amount to do. it is hard to know where to begin with such a huge amount to do. it is very hard to begin. _ such a huge amount to do. it is very hard to begin, and _ such a huge amount to do. it is very hard to begin, and especially - such a huge amount to do. it is very hard to begin, and especially when l hard to begin, and especially when you are a small situation like us, in fact our you are a small situation like us, infact our group you are a small situation like us, in fact our group have decided to start a nonprofit organisation. the volume of donations and private donors, we have everything from people that have donated $20 to a benefactor that is spending over $2
6:35 am
million to purchase homes, to donate to people. and for someone like me thatis to people. and for someone like me that is not a formal organisation, we are literally going on facebook, making posts asking for people that need help and connecting them with donors and contributors and taking them to target, taking them to walmart, giving them donations to help one by one, and that's the best we can do for an unorganised group. and i suppose the challenge is keeping that going, keeping it sustainable into the long term, because it is going to be weeks, months, may be years before maui properly recovers.— properly recovers. really we think it is auoin properly recovers. really we think it is going to _ properly recovers. really we think it is going to be — properly recovers. really we think it is going to be years. _ properly recovers. really we think it is going to be years. it - properly recovers. really we think it is going to be years. it will- properly recovers. really we think it is going to be years. it will be . it is going to be years. it will be months before we can start to rebuild infrastructure. the amount of debris that needs to be taken out of debris that needs to be taken out of there, the amount of supplies that need to happen to get there, is quite vast. we are constantly on the phone. everyone is reaching deep into their networks for things like, for example today we had somebody
6:36 am
offering 20 acres of land, and we have an organisation that will build platforms for several temporary shelters. we found a pipe company thatis shelters. we found a pipe company that is donating the ability to draw water lines for kitchens and bathrooms. so the big problem we are going to face in the long haul as we already had a housing crisis here, and we are absolutely skyrocketed into even more of a housing crisis. much of this demographic, or some of this demographic, our hand to mouth, they live paycheque to paycheque, so while you do have some people who lost everything, they are able to go to the store and buy supplies. there is a massive amount of people that not only did they lose everything, they cannot go to walmart and buy $500 of supplies, so they are dependent on people like us and you guys, people that contribute to help them get back on their feet. and them get back on their feet. and while the rescue _ them get back on their feet. and while the rescue and the relief operation goes on, questions for the
6:37 am
authorities about the fact that warnings didn't seem to go off for a lot of people, they didn't get alerts about what was about to happen. in your own experience, what happened to you and the people you spoke to? where you informed, did you get a warning? i liee spoke to? where you informed, did you get a warning?— you get a warning? i live in central maui, i am — you get a warning? i live in central maui, i am fortunate _ you get a warning? i live in central maui, i am fortunate to _ you get a warning? i live in central maui, i am fortunate to be - you get a warning? i live in central maui, i am fortunate to be on - you get a warning? i live in central maui, i am fortunate to be on a i maui, i am fortunate to be on a different side. we have lots of friends and family in the west, and i'm a lot like you, we had conflicting stories. i have spoken to many people that were on the west side, i have a cleaner that works with one of my teams that literally ran from lahaina, through lahaina, through the fire, to get to his children. he reported to me that he did hear sirens, children. he reported to me that he did hearsirens, he heard children. he reported to me that he did hear sirens, he heard all kinds of bells and whistles. what you have to realise is that the winds were over 70 mph. there were explosions, fires, debris flying everywhere, mass confusion. so while some people are reporting and they could be correct that they did not hear some sirens or some emergency alerts, there are a lot of people that do
6:38 am
say that they did hear it. it was just so much chaos, itjust didn't even register that was what was happening, because it happened so fast. a ., . ., ., ~' happening, because it happened so fast. a ., . ., ., fast. kim mclauchlan, thank you so much for explaining _ fast. kim mclauchlan, thank you so much for explaining that. _ fast. kim mclauchlan, thank you so much for explaining that. we - fast. kim mclauchlan, thank you so much for explaining that. we wish l much for explaining that. we wish you well with the work that you are doing. thank you forjoining us on the bbc. doing. thank you for “oining us on the bbc. ., ~ doing. thank you for “oining us on the sac. ., ~ , ., doing. thank you for “oining us on the sac. ., ~ i. . the bbc. thank you so much. it the bbc. thank you so much. it is 6-38- — john is here with the morning's sport, and what a confusing weekend for football fans who are waiting to see where certain players would end up. despite the fact that the season has started, we have over two weeks left of the transfer window. no sooner has harry kane toddled off to germany tojoin has harry kane toddled off to germany to join bayern munich, has harry kane toddled off to germany tojoin bayern munich, it is the transfer of this guy, moyes is kai sado, who were subject to a number of bids from liverpool, and it is chelsea that he is going to pitch up at. huge money, breaking the british transfer record for the
6:39 am
second time in a year. chelsea breaking the british transfer record again, agreeing a deal to sign moises caicedo in what has been one of the other big transfer sagas of the summer after he looked to be heading to liverpool, who'd agreed a deal of £111 million. but the player's preference was a move to chelsea, and so they exceeded that offer. and in doing so break the transfer record they set back injanuray when they signed enzo fernandez for £107 million. so what awaits him? well as fate would have both chelsea and liverpool met yesterday, with the latter scoring first through luiz diaz. but chelsea equalised through axel disasi, and one all it stayed, in what was manger mauricio pochettinio's first match in charge. we feel pleased, and we feel at the same time disappointed, because i think that we wanted to win and we deserved to win. but that is only the beginning,
6:40 am
and i'm so pleased with the performance of the players. very, very pleased with the staff after nearly six weeks working together. tottenham began life without harry kane with a 2—2 draw at brentford. spurs were losing until they grabbed an equaliser before half time from emerson royal. and talking of new managers, this the first competitive game for new spurs boss ange postecoglou. ange postecoglou left celtic in the summer, and his successor, brendan rodgers, has two wins out of two in the scottish premiership after he made a return to the club. they're top after beating aberdeen 3—1. matt o'riley�*s late goal sealed it. golf now, and it was a dramatic final day at the women's open, as it became the latest sporting event to be targeted by protesters. england's charlie hull had just played a shot on to the seventeenth green when protesters with flares got on to the course at walton heath in surrey.
6:41 am
the protests appeared to be aimed at the tournament's sponsors, insurance company aig. police made five arrests. protestors have targeted a number of sporting events including the open at royal liverpool, the ashes test at lord's, wimbledon and snooker�*s world championship in sheffield. after they were removed, america's lilia vu went on to finish six shots clear of hull to claim the final women's major of the year. and the curtain came down yesterday on the world cycling championships, and what an 11 days it proved to be for great britain. beth shreiver won gold on the final day as she led from start to finish in the bmx final in glasgow, taking home another world title. that was their 23rd gold of the championships as they finished top of the table. a lot goes on behind the scenes that people don't see. we've been working very hard, and very grateful for everyone's support, and this home crowd, which is insane, so it tops it all off.
6:42 am
i was dreaming about it, you daydream about it, but to actually do it, it makes it feel a bit surreal, to be honest. but i'm going to lap it all up, enjoy this moment while it lasts, and i'll remember this moment forever now. just amazing. 24 golds in the para events which bodes well ahead of the olympics and paralympics next summer, and we will be speaking to some cyclists this morning on breakfast to relive all of those highs. you likejohn, thank you very much indeed, we will see you very much indeed, we will see you again in a bit. it is pretty wet and windy out in manchester this morning. i imagine the cyclists go out in any weather. it is coming up to quarter to seven. we know that things tend to be a bit more expensive at neighbourhood convenience stores than big supermarkets. but does it need to be?
6:43 am
emma, there's a call forfor more affordable products in these stores, isn't there? yes, if you are going to those corner shops, you might not realise how much is it all is going to add up. those big increases in food prices over the last year or so and the rate at which our shopping bills have been going up have been having a real impact for a lot of households, haven't they? how to afford and budget that weekly shop. and for people who can't get to the big out—of—town stores, and do smaller shops, they generally pay a higher price for the convenience. a weekly shop at a smaller tesco express is estimated to be about £800 more on average a year than doing your shopping at a large tesco extra. and we've already seen changes in people's shopping habits to cope with the higher prices. the popularity of cheaper supermarket own brands has increased in the last 12 months. now consumer group which? are asking four major supermarkets to make this fairer for consumers and to stock more affordable budget items in their convenience stores as a matter of urgency.
6:44 am
morrisons have already committed to introducing 40 of its saver products in its 500 smaller stores at the same price as in its supermarkets, while the uk's leading retailer, tesco, say they intend to help customers dependent on their smaller stores by replacing branded items in 2,000 express stores with cheaper items. for example, own—brand penne pasta will now be stocked, costing 85p — that's half the price of the 1.70 customers would otherwise pay for branded pasta in express stores. but which say if tesco stocked its even cheaper budget pasta atjust 41p along with lots of its other budget range items, then prices in its express stores would be reduced even further — in this case nearly half the price again. food inflation does seem to have peaked and has been falling in recent months,
6:45 am
but at nearly 15% injune, it is still very high and of course the decrease doesn't mean prices are coming down, they arejust rising slightly less fast. however, the fall means supermarkets are competing for customers fiercely again on price, they say to ease the cost of living, so budget retailer aldi for example is lowering the cost of dozens of household products including butter, fruit and vegetables. but it remains to be seen if or when we'll really start to see prices fall again across the board. there's more information about the cost of living crisis on the tackling it together section of the bbc news website. we'll be talking about the cost of things a lot this week. we get the latest inflation figures on wednesday, and will be in a market seeing how those wholesale prices are changing.
6:46 am
inflation figures back again very soon. thank you very much. it is just after a quarter to seven. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. temperatures are going up, particularly towards the end of the week. good morning, everyone. today if you live in england or wales, it has been a wet night and it is a wet start to the day. slowly today that rain will push north and east, lingering across northern england and also north west wales in particular. and then as it does clear away, we are looking at sunshine and showers, and for scotland and northern ireland, you're also going to have sunshine and showers today. showers are few and showers today. showers are few and far between. the low pressure is bringing all the heavy rain. we have seen a real deluge across parts of the south—west through the course of the south—west through the course of
6:47 am
the night. the track it is taking from this radar picture, we have still got some showers across parts of northern scotland, and one or two just flirting the coast of northern ireland. the rain continues to migrate northwards. behind it, variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells and if you showers. this rain heavy and potentially thundery, could lead to localised flooding with a lot of surface water and spray on the roads as well. scotland and northern ireland hanging on the dry conditions. temperatures around 16 in the north to 24 as we push further south. through this evening and overnight, eventually the low pressure bringing this rain, drags it off into the north sea. behind it some clear skies, just a few showers, not much wind around and temperatures 11—14, so not a politically cold night for example. tomorrow the pressure continues to drift away in scandinavia we have high pressure building across us, so things are more subtle. still one or two scattered showers, but many of us
6:48 am
will avoid them altogether, and we will avoid them altogether, and we will see some more sunshine. it will feel warmer too across england. temperatures 15 to about 22 or 23 degrees. heading on through the rest of the week, tuesday to wednesday, high pressure really does build across us, we are in between two areas of low pressure as well and we will start off on a misty note, especially across central and northern areas. one or two showers, most of us missing them, most of us getting away with the dry and sunny day, and temperatures a little higher, we could reach 24 or 25 somewhere in the south. for the latter part of the week, again we are squeezed between two areas of low pressure, and we start to draw in some warmerair low pressure, and we start to draw in some warmer airfrom low pressure, and we start to draw in some warmer air from the near continent as represented by the colours here, yellow and orange on the chart. as we head for the course of thursday, with a high pressured the eastern low pressure to the west, the breeze coming from the
6:49 am
south, a lot of dry conditions which will change on friday as we start to see more rain sweeping in from the south—west. that is also pushing north eastwards and it won't clear scotland until late on saturday. carol, keep watching, because we have some people who might be quite happy about that. the wash—outjuly may not have been great for your summer holidays, but it's come at the right time for wine producers in england. the mixed weather we've had this summer means 2023 is promising to be a great year for grape crops. steve humphrey is at a vineyard in chichester for us this morning. getting an early sample, steve? good morning. getting an early sample, steve? good morninu. getting an early sample, steve? good mornin. _ ,., ., ., getting an early sample, steve? good morninu. ., ~ ., , morning. good morning. an early mornin: morning. good morning. an early morning walk _ morning. good morning. an early morning walk in _ morning. good morning. an early morning walk in english - morning. good morning. an earlyj morning walk in english vineyard, and as you say, vineyards right across the country are expecting a bumper crop of grapes this year, and
6:50 am
that's all because of the topsy—turvy weather we've had. the english wide industry has been gradually expanding over recent years. there are now 943 vineyards right across the country. five years ago they were producing something around 5 million bottles of wine a year. that went up to around about 12 million bottles a year last year, expected to rise even faster, and also exports of english wine are doing well. so why is it that the weather has been good for grapes? the man who established this vineyard here near chichester is an stucco, and he can tell us if he joins us over here by the bunches of grapes why it is that these chaps are doing really well at the moment. as you can see, they look really good. so tell us, the weather has been good for grapes? yes. good. so tell us, the weather has been good for grapes?— been good for grapes? yes, we started off _ been good for grapes? yes, we started off very _ been good for grapes? yes, we started off very cold, _ been good for grapes? yes, we

6:54 am
her secret weapon? her nose. she can detect fuels used to start fires in the minutest of quantities, less than 50 parts per million. so we've put a facial wipe there. we're going to put one pinhead size now of diesel. that's the size of a pinhead in there. and she'll pick that up? hopefully. her handler at essex fire and rescue services, graham curry. before fizz gets to work, she has to be suited and booted. five different fuels planted. she finds them all. for fizz, it's all a big game. her reward each time, her toy or a small bit of cheese paste. in just two years and 200 callouts, she's had a huge impact in catching criminals. vehicle fires, for instance. she's indicated that fuel has actually been poured over the vehicles. she's then found a container that's contained that same fuel nearby, which then the investigating officers, once it's tested, can maybe get fingerprints or dna from that and linking them to a suspect.
6:55 am
do you think there should be more fire detection dogs across the country like this? yeah, definitely. why? because of how quickly she can find evidence on incidents that we're already maybe looking at possible accidental. and would it make financial sense? yeah, most definitely. the more we can actually combat arson and get these arsonists put away or even deter them. if they feel now we've got a tool that's going to link them to an incident, perhaps they'll think twice about actually setting fire to something. the home office says funding for fire detection dogs is a matter for individual fire services. fizz can cover a huge amount of ground really, really quickly, much quicker than you or i could, or even a number of professionally—trained officers could do so. more so, she's really reliable. dogs have an intuition. they have senses that humans don't have. and being able to use her as part of the team means that actually we've got a much better chance of identifying whether accelerants have been used.
6:56 am
and that means fizz is unlikely to have much time with her toy before she's back out on anotherjob. richard daniel, bbc news. she looks very happy, and very good at thejob! very she looks very happy, and very good at the job! very well behaved. coming up... we'll be joined by drag artist cheryl hole, who hasjoined the all—star line—up on this year's celebrity masterchef. really looking forward to that. that was just pears, wasn't it? they won't have cooked. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm leigh milner. a man is due in court after being charged over the weekend with the murder of a man in north west london.
6:57 am
20—year—old hamid mani was stabbed to death on wellesley road in harrow last wednesday. shakur idan, who's 20, has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at wimbledon magistrates' court later today. a mother whose seven—year—old son died after being electrocuted by faulty wiring at a pub near romford is calling for better regulations. harvey tyrell accidentally touched a garden light at the king harold pub in harold wood in 2018. pubs are required to have what's called an electric installation condition report every five years but daniellejones believes safety is still an issue. i would love it to be an annual inspection because you have such a large foot flow. it's got to be safe for the public. so i don't see why they can't have checks carried out annually, just to sign off that everything is ok. if there's no installation, then that's fine. if there is new installations, then they have a certificate to prove that the outdoor lighting or if there's been an extension,
6:58 am
that the electrics are safe. a strike byjunior doctors is continuing across london. it's part of a long—running dispute over pay and conditions. health bosses have warned patients there will be disruption to services until tomorrow. residents in greenwich are being offered the chance to apply for free tickets to go and see charlton athletic. it is all part of an initiative run by greenwich council to help people during the cost—of—living crisis. tickets can be requested through the council's website and are limitied to two—per—household. let's take a look at the tubes now. it's quite a busy morning, lots of disruption, check before you travel. let's get the weather now with kat christodoulou. hello there, good morning to you. we've had a few heavy showers out there this morning. a bit on the breezy side as well, but those winds will fall lighter as we head into this afternoon, and we should see it brighten up with some sunny spells.
6:59 am
but there is still the chance of a few showers. this system will eventually clear out to the north—east butjust behind, a ridge of high pressure will build. tuesday, a far more settled day i think for many of us. it should stay mostly dry with decent sunny spells. a mild start to the day, showery this morning, some of the showers falling heavy. it will be dry for a time with some sunshine around, but i think that the cloud will build by the end of the afternoon with a few showers move in from the west. temperatures today at around 22 celsius, and there will be a noticeable breeze around. this evening, any showers will eventually clear out to the east, so very settled conditions overnight. it will be largely dry with clear skies. and under those clear skies, slightly cooler than the night we just had. our temperatures will fall away to around 10—12 degrees. so into tomorrow, overall it will be a drier day, it will be a brighter day, but for many of us it should stay mostly dry with just the chance of a few showers around. and winds will be light on wednesday, very settled conditions with decent spells of sunshine, similar on thursday. that's it from me, let's go
7:00 am
back to sally and jon. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. as the death toll from the hawaii wildfires approaches 100, questions are growing about the official response to the thousands left without homes. it's our home. but we'll come back, we will survive, we will get through this. major changes to cancer diagnosis and treatment targets are expected in england as patient waiting lists hit record levels. the government's accused of moving more asylum seekers onto the bibby stockholm last week despite knowing traces of legionella had been found on the barge.
7:01 am
chelsea smash the british transfer record twice in the same year as they agree a deal to sign the brighton midfielder moises caicedo for £115 million pipping liverpool to his signature. good morning. we have heavy rain pushing north and east across england and wales this morning, behind it we will see a return to bright spells, sunshine and showers and for scotland and northern ireland, that is yours forecast, sunny spells and scattered showers. it's monday the 14th of august. officials in hawaii say they expect the number of casualties to rise significantly as a result of the wildfires. 93 people are known to have died with hundreds still missing in maui. questions are now being asked about whether early warning systems were used or if they malfunctioned. the state's attorney general is conducting a "comprehensive review". our correspondent, sophie long
7:02 am
reports from hawaii. the fire left more than a city devastated, and charred black buildings behind. existential questions hover above the emptiness. how can you rebuild from this? what will exist here in the future? a now churchless congregation gathers at a coffee shop to share their pain. one of the police officers sent me pictures. it used to be my house. i wept, but weeping is not a lack of faith. god gave us tears. there are so many questions that remain without answers. why did one survive to sit in a makeshift church when their neighbour didn't?
7:03 am
what will become of their community so crippled by a loss that's still being counted? i don't think it will ever be the same. i hope it will be better. that's my prayer. and i believe that, i think one day, you know, it can be an even better lahaina than it was hopefully, that is what i hope at least. how do they explain to those too young to understand what their parents can't comprehend? children live in the moment when they're young. so you may have to explain it more than once with them. but all you can do isjust be straightforward, the fire took the house. the terrible thing is that, it's going to be hard because the next fire, you know, the next time they hear fire, that fear is going to come back. we actually had one lady beating on our door saying, "save me, save me." these people may have lost their homes but they have not lost their hope.
7:04 am
we are going to build ourselves up, shake ourselves up, keep going forward, we are not broken. that place might be for now but it will not stay that way. and even the elderly with other places they could go will stay and rebuild. family on the mainland are trying to get me to move back, and my son told my daughter, he said, "you don't get it. dad is going to die there. because that's his home." it's our home. but we will come back. we'll survive, we'll get through this. they will tell their children that there has been mass death and destruction, but out of it came heroes and hope.
7:05 am
sophie long, bbc news, maui. well, earlier we spoke to sophie about the recovery efforts. first and foremost what they're focusing on is the search and recovery operation, which five days on since lahaina was engulfed in flames remains in its early stages. the latest update we had 24 hours ago is that the crews working with cadaver dogs have only covered some 3%. that will have increased but it is still in the early stages, and the relief effort is ongoing. a lot of local people are taking it into their own hands and have been trying to get supplies into lahaina. lahaina has only one road, and there is a checkpoint and only residents with identification is allowed through. that has been subject to criticism, because for a lot of these residents, their id cards are with the rest of their belongings in the ashes. the authorities have been very clear about why they are controlling access to the devastated city,
7:06 am
and that's because there are still remains that are uncovered, and they don't want people unknowingly to tread on them. tourism, of course, this state relies on tourism. they are encouraging people not to visit maui at the moment. they understand it is a beautiful place and people want to come, they are not saying don't come to hawaii, they are saying don't come to maui. they want to keep hotel rooms free for the more than 4,000 people who have been made homeless on an island where there was already a severe housing crisis. two—thirds of nhs cancer waiting—time targets are expected to be scrapped in england, including dropping the two—week wait from getting an urgent gp referral to see a consultant for breast cancer patients. the nhs says the move will simplify the system. the targets have been routinely missed in recent years, as our health
7:07 am
editor hugh pym reports. nhs england says the aim is to simplify and update cancer standards with advice from clinical leaders. most cancer targets have been missed for some time. a consultation exercise was started last year and the outcome is set to be published imminently, subject to final approval by ministers. three targets would be maintained. diagnosis of cancer within 28 days of referral, the start of treatment within two months of an urgent referral, and treatment starting one month after a decision to treat. but other targets, for example, a two week wait from an urgent gp referral to see a consultant, including for breast cancer patients, will be dropped. an nhs spokesperson said the changes would remove the need for unnecessary outpatient appointments in order to comply with waiting time rules and allow more patients to get a faster diagnosis.
7:08 am
but a spokesperson for the catch up with cancer campaign said while chasing too many targets could be disruptive, the real truth was not enough was being invested in treatment capacity, and tinkering at the edges with sound bites would not put this right. hugh pym, bbc news. we will be speaking to the health secretary steve barclay in the next half an hour. dorset council claims that a home office official was told about traces of the potentially deadly legionella bacteria, found on an accommodation barge for migrants, earlier than the government has admitted. our political correspondent, peter saulljoins us now from westminster. there seems to be some debate about when the government knew about this bacteria. , ., , , .., bacteria. yes, it has become quite the saaa, bacteria. yes, it has become quite the saga. the _ bacteria. yes, it has become quite the saga, the bibby _ bacteria. yes, it has become quite the saga, the bibby stockholm. i bacteria. yes, it has become quite. the saga, the bibby stockholm. the government hoped this would be the standard bearerfor government hoped this would be the standard bearer for its government hoped this would be the standard bearerfor its plans government hoped this would be the standard bearer for its plans to move asylum seekers out of hotels
7:09 am
and into more basic accommodation. there have been delays partly down to safety concerns but that there few migrants were initially moved on anyway last monday. dorset council says on the same day it told the contractor is responsible for managing the battle of the presence of legionella in the water supply. on the following day, tuesday last week, a home office official was informed. i am told from the home office that this was a junior official who just happened to be at a meeting involving the contractors and official notification about the legionella did not come into the home office until wednesday evening and then it wasn't until thursday evening that the health authorities changed their advice to move people off the boat which happened on friday. rishi sunak has been out of the country for ten days also on holiday in california, he will have hoped all of this will have been sorted out while he is away. it
7:10 am
clearly has not been. whoever is responsible for all of this, the question is why these migrants were allowed on on monday and it took until friday for them to be removed. the wider small boat strategy has been put into sharp focus over the weekend with the tragic loss of life in the channel, six migrants losing their life on saturday.— their life on saturday. thank you for now, peter. _ around 3.9 million working days have been lost to industrial action in the past year, more than at any point since the 1980s. the report by the resolution foundation think—tank says many of the strikes have been fuelled by a real—terms drop in pay of more than 9% in several sectors. an education union has called on the first minister of scotland to take action on the "lack ofjob security" among newly qualified teachers. security" among newly the educational institute of scotland said teachers have been appointed on short—term, temporary contracts. a spokesperson for the scottish government said that while teachers are employed by local authorities and not the government, it is "taking strong action to

protect increased teacher numbers". two people remain in a serious condition in hospital after a car crashed into a campsite. nine people were injured when the car the left the road in pembrokeshire, on saturday night. matthew murray reports. it was just after 10.30 at night when the ford fiesta left the road, which runs alongside the campsite here at newgale near st david's in pembrokeshire. there's no barrier or hedge between the campsite field and the road, just this small bank and a ditch. the car rolled three times before landing on top of several people who were sitting outside their tent. the owner of the campsite, mike harris, told me the car also rolled over a tent where a baby was sleeping, but the child was protected by his cot. there was carnage. there were people bewildered, people in shock, people who didn't know what was going on. and there were people that were injured, screaming and asking for help. the immediate concern for everybody
7:12 am
was what happened to the baby. and when they went into the tent, the cot was there and had managed to protect the baby from any injuries, which is another miracle to be fair. the skid marks from the car are just behind me on the road here. now, i've seen the cctv footage as well from the campsite. it shows the car losing control, spinning 180 degrees and then rolling onto the campsite here. it rolled three times before ending up at its final destination, which is around about 70 metres from here. fern wilson and joshua tam, who is a firefighter on holiday at the campsite, helped the injured. well, you ran pretty much straightaway over to go help. we just tried to help as much as possible with first aid. and yeah, we heard the crash pretty much as it happened. everyone got there pretty quick. you helped move the car over? yeah. setting up space where we could treat the people. one person was airlifted to the university hospital of wales

in cardiff by a coastguard rescue helicopter, while police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. matt murray, bbc news, newgale in pembrokeshire. england's lionesses are just two wins away from being crowned world champions in the women's world cup. but to reach the final, england must first beat the hosts australia on wednesday. our sports editor dan roan is soaking up the atmosphere in sydney for us. they have really got home advantage as far as the crowds have are concerned, haven't they? yes, good mornin: , concerned, haven't they? yes, good morning. a — concerned, haven't they? yes, good morning. a huge _ concerned, haven't they? yes, good morning, a huge sense _ concerned, haven't they? yes, good morning, a huge sense of _ concerned, haven't they? yes, good| morning, a huge sense of excitement and anticipation building in australia at this ground—breaking women's world cup. it is already breaking all kinds of records, more tickets have been sold here than for any other world cup before it, there have been huge merchandise sales,
7:14 am
bumper tv viewing figures especially as the matildas, as the australian team is known, had been playing. if excitement levels were high here they have only been intensified as a result of the extraordinary penalty shoot—out victory that australia enjoyed over france in the quarterfinal at the weekend. there have been comparisons drawn in terms of viewing figures with that iconic gold medal performance by cathy freeman some 23 years ago at the olympics that were held here. and now of course they face their arch rivals, sporting rivals, anyway, england in the titanic semifinal on wednesday evening here. australia of course will be confident, they will have a huge wave of support. england are in good form, they will have got confidence about the battling victory against colombia in the quarterfinal, there are memories of the rugby union cup final 20 years ago and a classic ashes series, both
7:15 am
teams have closed training session today. the only time that sarina wiegman has experienced a defeat in 37 matches in charge of england is australia this year in a friendly. it is a tough test but england will be favourites. letters written by george harrison's mother, responding to fan mail for the beatles will go on sale this month. we have really enjoyed these letters from george's mum from a collection of 25. these letters are just a couple from a collection of 25 that louise harrison wrote to teenager janet gray. she pulled no punches. but i think aood she pulled no punches. but i think good advice- _ she pulled no punches. but i think good advice. this _ she pulled no punches. but i think good advice. this is _ she pulled no punches. but i think good advice. this is going - she pulled no punches. but i think good advice. this is going to - she pulled no punches. but i think| good advice. this is going to sound a little bit harsh... in one of them she writes she was "ashamed" she was a female — after she watched screaming girls at one of the band's concerts. they are being sold at the annual liverpool beatles auction but she also wrote so many letters to fans who had written to george or

7:17 am
scotland, scattered showers. many of us will miss them and have a dry day with sunny spells and at times area of cloud floating around. this rain will be with us through the course of the afternoon, fringing into southern scotland. showers persisting on either side here and there. temperatures 15 in the north to 24 in the south. as we head through the evening and overnight period. the low pressure driving this rain will pull it away into the north sea, leaving a mostly dry night with one or two showers, light winds and overnight lows 11 to 14. tomorrow high pressure builds across as so things will be more settled, dry weather, sunshine tomorrow as well. the old scattered shower here and there but they are going to be hit and miss and feeling warmer across northern england and north wales where we have rain today. top temperature up to 23 degrees. thank you, carol.
7:18 am
from driverless cars to 3d printing, artificial intelligence has been transforming how we live our lives for a while now. but the bbc�*s panorama has been investigating the potential risks and benefits the ai revolution is bringing, and lara lewington has been to the us, to see whether it could one day be capable of reading our minds. hi, laura. hi, good to meet you. thank you for having us. come on in. thanks very much. neuroscientist alexander huth has spent a decade trying to understand how the brain works. if we want to build intelligent machines, maybe we want to make things that act more like human brains. so that's kind of what got me into neuroscience. this year, his team had a breakthrough. using ai technology that can understand language, they've built a computer that can read minds. we scan people's brains with an fmri scanner while theyjust listen to stories. so we track how their brains respond while they're listening to hours
7:19 am
and hours of stories. the team has trained the al on their own brains. as they listen to stories inside the scanner, the computer watches what happens. what sort of brain activity are you looking for? we're looking for brain activity that's related to specific ideas or specific words that appear in the stories. so, for example, whenever you hear somebody talk about parking a car, there are certain patterns of activity in the brain that will be present that reliably correspond to that kind of idea. and we're trying to build up that mapping from this very large data set. the computer looks for patterns in the vast amounts of data from the scanner. with enough training, it can translate brain activity into words. so the lead scientist is listening to a story for us. the war of the worlds.
7:20 am
the martians in the pit had turned the heat ray on. a deep, throbbing sound, a silver pencil of light... ..and a narrow ribbon of bracken and grass and trees and houses stretching as far as the eye could see, was scorched. and this is the text that the ai created from the brain scan. in the decoded version, which misses a lot of things, but it gets some of the good stuff, fired the bullets out of the clip he had on him as he ran. and then i heard a huge crack as a large piece of concrete hit my forehead and then a giant ball of fire. the general idea of "big noise, got hurt" is there in both of them. yeah. and then also the idea that something was on fire, the scorched versus a giant ball of fire, it captured all those things, but clearly not exactly the right words. so far, it's only analysed the brains of a handful of volunteers who've all spent 16 hours being scanned. but they hope it'll unlock the secrets of how our minds work. we are really pushing
7:21 am
on and what a lot of our effort in the lab goes toward is using this to actually understand the brain better. that's our scientific goal. in the end, we want to know how does the brain work? how do our brains process language? how do we understand ideas? how do we think? sounds great, but what happens if it ends up in the wrong hands? some people are scared or think that the thought police is coming. i think it's a fair reaction to this to say, like, this is scary, i don't want this to happen. that was kind of our reaction too, like, the first thing that we thought when we got this working was like, this is fantastic, it's working. and then like, oh my god, this is working. are the thought place coming? not yet. none of the current technologies that we have would be effective at actually policing people's thoughts. and lara joins us now. the thought police are not coming. not yet, probably never! that the thought police are not coming. not yet, probably never!— the thought police are not coming. not yet, probably never! at the end of this investigation, _

not yet, probably never! at the end of this investigation, what - not yet, probably never! at the end of this investigation, what are - not yet, probably never! at the end of this investigation, what are your| of this investigation, what are your thoughts about al? are they closer to understanding our brains? it’s a to understanding our brains? it's a big question _ to understanding our brains? it's a big question and _ to understanding our brains? it's a big question and we _ to understanding our brains? it�*s —. big question and we covered loads of different ai things in the programme but in terms of this rain tracking, first of all, you have got to be in an mri scannerfor it to happen. so walking along the streets, you are not going to be having your mind read. and i think also the other thing which was interesting here was the people who are being experimented on have been in the scannerfor 16 hours. i tried to have my mind red having not having that rain scanning for 16 hours and it came up with complete nonsense, and i promise i was not thinking nonsense, i was listening to the story like the professor did. so it didn't really _ story like the professor did. so it didn't really work _ story like the professor did. so it didn't really work as _ story like the professor did. so it didn't really work as far as you understood? it didn't really work as far as you understood?— understood? it works if it is trained on _ understood? it works if it is trained on the _ understood? it works if it is trained on the person's - understood? it works if it is l trained on the person's brain understood? it works if it is - trained on the person's brain but all of our brains work differently. it's looking at the brain blood flow and what people are doing in their brain when they are listening to
7:23 am
certain words, the mri tracker sees that activity and writes the words, it's using an early iteration of chatgpt. it's not even the latest technology it is using so it is pretty impressive. what is going on is really impressive. but it's not there yet on something that would be possible to use on the go. but if you did manage to get wearable devices eventually with higher resolution, then may be for people who have any sort of medical condition that means that they cannot speak, it could prove a really useful technology. bud cannot speak, it could prove a really useful technology. and that is the key. _ really useful technology. and that is the key. people _ really useful technology. and that is the key, people who _ really useful technology. and that is the key, people who struggle i really useful technology. and that| is the key, people who struggle to communicate, there is a potential for something to develop there. but how long might we have to wait for that to happen? it how long might we have to wait for that to happen?— that to happen? it will take a long time to be able _ that to happen? it will take a long time to be able to _ that to happen? it will take a long time to be able to miniaturise - that to happen? it will take a long time to be able to miniaturise the| time to be able to miniaturise the device to be able to do anything close to what the fmri can do. so it's not that easy to create a wearable device that could do anything to that level. in terms of the amount of data that it needs to be trained on, for individuals, you
7:24 am
could do that. if somebody used it for that purpose it could be well and truly worth doing that. what and truly worth doing that. what this proves _ and truly worth doing that. what this proves is — and truly worth doing that. what this proves is that _ and truly worth doing that. what this proves is that we _ and truly worth doing that. what this proves is that we are - and truly worth doing that. what this proves is that we are just at the beginning of this revolution, aren't we? and we don't really know where it it is going.— where it it is going. exactly, we are 'ust where it it is going. exactly, we are just at _ where it it is going. exactly, we are just at the _ where it it is going. exactly, we are just at the beginning - where it it is going. exactly, we are just at the beginning and i where it it is going. exactly, we l are just at the beginning and this is something really impressive. it's a technology which can do something and as time goes on we always see devices being miniaturised, we see more and more things become impossible with it and read —— real—world uses. in labs it is not the real world, at a demonstration, it is a proof of concept. there is something interesting here which will hopefully progress into something useful even though right now it feels far off. it something useful even though right now it feels far off.— now it feels far off. it feels sensible — now it feels far off. it feels sensible when _ now it feels far off. it feels sensible when you - now it feels far off. it feels sensible when you look - now it feels far off. it feels sensible when you look at | now it feels far off. it feels i sensible when you look at this investigation, —— fanciful when you look at your investigations but what is next for al? 50 look at your investigations but what is next for al?— is next for al? so much, we hear a lot about existential _ is next for al? so much, we hear a lot about existential risk _ is next for al? so much, we hear a lot about existential risk and - is next for al? so much, we hear a lot about existential risk and the i lot about existential risk and the headlines we have seen over the last few months have leapt ahead to how bad things can be but there are
7:25 am
enormous benefits that al is already bringing especially in health care, tracking health, diagnosis, managing conditions. drug discovery, there is so much that al is doing which is positive. in the programme we have really tried to bring together a lot of the positive and negative side so people can come away with some real balance of where we are at with al. we keep on seeing existential risk, but what does that mean? we try to get to the bottom of that for people to really understand what the risks are and what the potential benefits are and what the potential benefits are that we can say.— are that we can say. there will be --eole are that we can say. there will be people this _ are that we can say. there will be people this morning _ are that we can say. there will be people this morning mind - are that we can say. there will bej people this morning mind reading computers, hearing that, they will be scared. it’s computers, hearing that, they will be scared. v . , computers, hearing that, they will be scared. �*, ., _ ., computers, hearing that, they will be scared. v ., , ., , computers, hearing that, they will be scared. �*, ., _ ., , ., ., be scared. it's easy to “ump ahead to thins be scared. it's easy to “ump ahead to things which h be scared. it's easy to “ump ahead to things which sound _ be scared. it's easy to jump ahead to things which sound so - to things which sound so sensational. there are problems with al systems at the moment with bias ai systems at the moment with bias and disinformation. you ask an ai ai systems at the moment with bias and disinformation. you ask an al to do something and it will try to achieve the end goal, not knowing in the way that a human does, all the things that should be avoided along the way. we speak to two of the
7:26 am
so—called godfathers of ai in the programme, and we discussed with them why they are now worried. some of the people who are at the forefront of the ai revolution who got us to the point we are now on the ones who have been signing the letter that we should be concerned. we are trying to create some balance on what the reality is, what is existential risk, what should be about what should we be excited about what should we be excited about because there is enormous possibility. —— what we should be worried about what we should be excited about. you can watch the panorama programme �*beyond human: artificial intelligence and us' on bbc iplayer now and on bbc one at 8pm. brutal — that's how former sports minister tracey crouch described herjourney to the summit of mount kilimanjaro. the mp, who was diagnosed with breast cancer 2020 and is now free of the disease, took on the charity challenge with six other women. louisa pilbeam reports. 6,000 metres above sea level with rugged terrain and restricted oxygen, mount kilimanjaro requires intense training to tackle the mountain.
7:27 am
around a third of those who try fail. but this group of seven mums have faced big mountains. each having to battle breast cancer in their lives in different ways. and they weren't leaving tanzania until they had conquered every step of this challenge with the same grit. one of those was tracey crouch, former uk sports minister, who was treated for breast cancer two years ago. the group of seven returned home and said their experience was no walk in the park. it was pretty brutal to be honest with you. i have overcome many challenges, both personally and professionally in my life, but this was by far the hardest thing i have ever had to endure. and i'm really proud of myself for having faced that challenge and overcome it. but they put in the work, from the mud of the english countryside to high altitude training in the gym.
7:28 am
these women left behind their families at gatwick and headed to africa. pushed on by each other, and their aim to raise £150,000 for breast cancer kent, a charity which helps them, all to buy new equipment that speeds up breast cancer diagnosis. it's called a faxitron. essentially it allows us to expedite the turnaround time for breast cancer patients. the most difficult part of breast cancer in the breast cancerjourney, really, is waiting for results. and if we can change that and if we can expedite this, that would benefit ladies across kent significantly. this was the moment they reached the summit eight days later. we are around 148,000, which is absolutely mind blowing. and we were hoping to get 150,000 so we are so close. the generosity of people
7:29 am
has been unbelievable. and i think it's because it's a cause that touches so many people. and this wasn'tjust about raising money, it was about proving to themselves they could achieve the near impossible, and feeling on top of the world. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. huge congratulations to all of those women, i mean, an incredible, incredible feat.— women, i mean, an incredible, incredible feat. what a challenge, and they also _ incredible feat. what a challenge, and they also have _ incredible feat. what a challenge, and they also have incredible - incredible feat. what a challenge, | and they also have incredible feat! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm leigh milner. a man is due in court after being charged over the weekend with the murder of a man in north—west london. 20—year—old hamid mani was stabbed to death on wellesley road in harrow last wednesday. shakur idan, who's 20, has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at wimbledon magistrates' court later today.
7:30 am
a mother whose seven—year—old son died after being electrocuted by faulty wiring at a pub near romford is calling for better regulations. harvey tyrell accidentally touched a garden light at the king harold pub in harold wood in 2018. pubs are required to have what's called an electric installation condition report every five years. but daniellejones believes safety is still an issue. i would love it to be an annual inspection because you have such a large foot flow. it's got to be safe for the public. so i don't see why they can't have checks carried out annually, just to sign off that everything is ok. if there's no installation, then that's fine. if there is new installations, then they have a certificate to prove that the outdoor lighting or if there's been an extension, that the electrics are safe. pubs in london will be able to continue selling takeaway drinks after the government decided to keep

covid licensing rules. they were allowed to serve customers through hatches when they were forced to close under pandemic laws in 2020. the rules were due to expire on 30 september, but the bbc has been told they will now continue. let's take a look at the tubes now. it's quite busy morning. lots of disruption. check before you travel. let's get the weather now with kat christodoulou. hello there, good morning to you. we've had a few heavy showers out there this morning. a bit on the breezy side as well, but those winds will fall lighter as we head into this afternoon, and we should see it brighten up with some sunny spells. but there is still the chance of a few showers. this system will eventually clear out to the north—east butjust behind, a ridge of high pressure will build. tuesday, a far more settled day i think for many of us. it should stay mostly dry with decent sunny spells. a mild start to the day, showery this morning, some of the showers falling heavy.

it will be dry for a time with some sunshine around, but i think that the cloud will build by the end of the afternoon with a few showers move in from the west. temperatures today at around 22 celsius, and there will be a noticeable breeze around. this evening, any showers will eventually clear out to the east, so very settled conditions overnight. it will be largely dry with clear skies. and under those clear skies, slightly cooler than the night we just had. our temperatures will fall away to around 10—12 degrees. so into tomorrow, overall it will be a drier day, it will be a brighter day, but for many of us it should stay mostly dry with just the chance of a few showers around. and winds will be light on wednesday, very settled conditions with decent spells of sunshine, similar on thursday. warehouse some are gone? bring back the sunshine! that's it from me. we'll be back in half an hour. let's go back to sally and jon.
7:33 am
hello. this is breakfast with jon kay and sally nugent. just after half past seven on monday morning. thank you forjoining us. shirley ballas will be here a little later reflecting on extraordinary events in the sky. but first an important health story. nhs england is poised to announce significant changes to cancer waiting time targets — which have been routinely missed in recent years. it comes as the waiting list for hospital treatment has now topped 7.5 million people in england for the first time. we're joined now by the health secretary steve barclay. good morning. we are hearing this morning that targets for cancer patients in england are being repeatedly missed. we are hearing in the papers yesterday that you are planning to remove some of these targets. how is that going to help patients going to their gp? igrate targets. how is that going to help patients going to their gp? we are treatin: patients going to their gp? we are treating more _ patients going to their gp? we are treating more patients _ patients going to their gp? we are treating more patients for- patients going to their gp? we are treating more patients for cancer, | treating more patients for cancer, there are 3 million cheques, 600,000
7:34 am
more than before the pandemic. there has been an increase of 28% in the number of urgent gp referrals for cancer, so more people are being seen and what of those are being diagnosed early, and indeed more people are being treated for cancer, 20,000 while being treated this year than before the pandemic. so there are more people being checked and treated, and the survival rate for cancer is also improving over the last 15 years, the survival rate at one year increased by 9%. so progress is being made. what we have is a consultation at the moment with leading clinicalfigures in the cancer world, and with the cancer charity is asking whether the czechs we've got a drive in the right outcomes in terms of cancer survival, or whether there are better ways of measuring those. so this is something led by clinicians working in cancer. it is not something being imposed by the government. it is in response to requests by those working in the
7:35 am
cancer field, requests by those working in the cancerfield, and any requests by those working in the cancer field, and any changes requests by those working in the cancerfield, and any changes if they are announced in the coming days will be in a consultation with leading cancer charities. for example. — leading cancer charities. for example. if— leading cancer charities. for example. if a _ leading cancer charities. for example, if a woman went to her gp today with a lump in her breast, we all know don't weed that there is that two—week target, you would hope to at least see a consultant, talk to at least see a consultant, talk to somebody, have more information, within two weeks, and that is very important. early diagnosis is so important. early diagnosis is so important. how will that change? this important. how will that change? as i important. how will that change? is i say, the consultation at the moment, the story relates to a leak, and ministers don't comment on leaks, but if i take your example in terms of breast cancer. the survival rates over the last 20 years have improved by 66%, so the key is how do we get the right treatment for people quickly, and the best way of doing that is by detecting cancer earlier, and that is why we are investing in more screening, particularly in some of the hard to detect cancers like lung cancer, we are rolling out a national screening programme that has transformed the
7:36 am
rate of cancer detected early compared to late, making a big difference in terms of survival rates. so it is about having much earlier detection, having more checks, picking up cancer earlier, and ensuring that we are focused on the survival rate as opposed to whether someone has had a check at a particular point, because it is the treatment that really matters, and getting that treatment to people as quickly as possible. so getting that treatment to people as quickly as possible.— quickly as possible. so your consultation _ quickly as possible. so your consultation you _ quickly as possible. so your consultation you mention i quickly as possible. so your i consultation you mention that quickly as possible. so your - consultation you mention that is going on at the moment, you are collaborating with charities. i want to just tell you this from cancer research uk who have said recently that missed targets represent years of underinvestment by the uk government. they have called for long—term funding and a clear strategy which currently isn't there. how do you respond to that? if i take both long—term and what we're doing immediately. in terms of the long term, since 2010 the cancer workforce has increased by more 50%. there is thousands more consultants working in that field than in 2010,
7:37 am
so there is a much larger workforce. it is still not enough, though, is it? . ., �* ., it is still not enough, though, is it? . i ., ., , it is still not enough, though, is it? . i ., ., it? what we're doing immediately as £2.3 billion it? what we're doing immediately as £25 billion of _ it? what we're doing immediately as £2.3 billion of investment _ it? what we're doing immediately as £2.3 billion of investment in - £2.3 billion of investment in expanding diagnostic capacity. we have a 140 new community diagnostic centres delivering already 4.5 million additional tests and scans, so it comes back to this key point. how do we detect cancer quicker? because if we can detect it quicker through our screening programme, that enables the survival rate to be significantly improved, so we've got 114 of our diagnostic centre is now open, we have a commitment to open 160 around the country. and that is something we are absolutely committed to end it is making a real difference. for example i was in lewes last week at the bright football ground in the community, very accessible, using the car park there so people can quickly come in and have their tests and scans. it is that sort of investment in the
7:38 am
community that will enable people to get treatment quickly, and we have significant investment, £2.3 billion, going on as part of that programme. i billion, going on as part of that programme-— billion, going on as part of that programme. i know some senior oncologist _ programme. i know some senior oncologist would _ programme. i know some senior oncologist would disagree - programme. i know some senior oncologist would disagree with l programme. i know some senior i oncologist would disagree with you, but i'm going to move on tojunior doctor strikes, but i'm going to move on tojunior doctorstrikes, because but i'm going to move on tojunior doctor strikes, because that is something people are concerned about. junior doctors are now on theirfifth strike. about. junior doctors are now on their fifth strike. what is happening there? what you going to do to talk to them? are you going to talk to them or to the bma this week? . . talk to them or to the bma this week? ., ., .. , week? we have accepted in full the recommendations _ week? we have accepted in full the recommendations of _ week? we have accepted in full the recommendations of the _ week? we have accepted in full the l recommendations of the independent pay review body, that remains for junior doctors starting in hospital this summer, they will receive a pay rise of 10.3%. the average for junior doctors as a whole is 8.8%. so we've got a balance, and the wider pressure from any of your listeners in terms of the cost of living, we also had investment in the nhs, and 8.8% is a recommendation that the independent pay review body process made. we
7:39 am
have accepted that in full. and we have accepted that in full. and we have reached a deal with over a million nhs staff through the agenda for change which covers nurses, paramedics, cleaners, porters, so we have been talking to nhs staff councils, and to the unions. we have reached a deal that covers more than a million staff, and in terms of junior doctors specifically, we have accepted in full the pay review of body recommendations. haifa accepted in full the pay review of body recommendations. how frustrated are ou b body recommendations. how frustrated are you by all — body recommendations. how frustrated are you by all of — body recommendations. how frustrated are you by all of this? _ body recommendations. how frustrated are you by all of this? hugely, - are you by all of this? hugely, because what _ are you by all of this? hugely, because what really _ are you by all of this? hugely, because what really matters i are you by all of this? hugely, j because what really matters is patients waiting for treatment and our commitment to getting waiting times down. we are making big progress on the longest wait. in england we have virtually eliminated over 18 months, whereas in wales, there are over 70,000 patients waiting for more than 18 months. many of your listeners will be surprised to learn that there are four times as many patients waiting over a year for treatment in wales compared to an england, and that is

7:41 am
the longest wait, over two years, has been virtually eliminated in england, as have those, whereas in wales it is over 70,000. that is a stark difference between wales and england. in scotland there are over 20,000 patients waiting more than 18 months, and of course these are much smaller populations than in england. i absolutely accept that england there is much more we need to do, which is why we are investing in the diagnostic centres, we have 43 new expanded surgical to boost our treatment and does well we are looking at utilisation of theatre time and how we can increase that, looking ready use of day surgery as well as a range of things we are doing to bring those times down. it is working in terms of the longest wait, but we recognise on the overall number of people waiting, we have got more work to do, and that is what we have focused on. i’m is what we have focused on. i'm auoin to is what we have focused on. i'm going to be _ is what we have focused on. i'm going to be if— is what we have focused on. i'm going to be if you want because we're short of time. one of the prime minister's key pledges was to
7:42 am
reduce hospital waiting times. the other was to tackle the issue of small boats crossing the channel. you are not doing particularly well on either of those six at the moment, are you? the overall number of crossings this year is lower this year than it was last year, there has been a 90% fall in the numbers coming overfrom has been a 90% fall in the numbers coming over from albania. has been a 90% fall in the numbers coming overfrom albania. there has been 40% more boats stopped by the french authorities this year than last year, soap steps are being made. but we upset you accept there is more that needs to be done, which is more that needs to be done, which is why we are going to the supreme court in terms of the decision on the wanda. it is why we are looking getting a hotel bill down, it is costing £6 million a day in terms of hotel costs, that is far too high for the british taxpayer so we are looking to get that down through things like the use of barges. there is no simple single answer to this, but it is a range of things we're doing, whether it is were wanda, whether it is the barges, whether it is working with the french authorities, oraction
7:43 am
is working with the french authorities, or action upstream by trying to get criminal gangs to stop the flow coming into northern france. the overall numbers coming across this year are lower than last year, and if you look at the albanians as an example, you can see significant progress as a result of the returns agreement they have got. when did you know there was a risk of legionella on the barge, the bibby stockholm? when did you hear about that? ~ , , ., about that? ministers were made aware of that _ about that? ministers were made aware of that on _ about that? ministers were made aware of that on thursday - about that? ministers were made | aware of that on thursday evening and that has been discussed in terms of the importance of that information coming across because samir ministers were aware. dorset council say — samir ministers were aware. dorset council say they _ samir ministers were aware. dorset council say they told _ samir ministers were aware. dorset council say they told home - samir ministers were aware. dorset council say they told home office i council say they told home office contract on monday night. this council say they told home office contract on monday night. as home secreta , contract on monday night. as home secretary. i — contract on monday night. as home secretary, i wouldn't _ contract on monday night. as home secretary, i wouldn't be _ contract on monday night. as home secretary, i wouldn't be sited i contract on monday night. as home secretary, i wouldn't be sited on i secretary, i wouldn't be sited on whether someone in the home office had been notified or not, but i know in terms of home office ministers, they were notified on thursday evening, and took action. don't you think that feels _ evening, and took action. don't you think that feels like _ evening, and took action. don't you think that feels like quite _ evening, and took action. don't you think that feels like quite a - evening, and took action. don't you think that feels like quite a long i

7:45 am
report suggesting a government memo said that the migrant crisis will last another five years. if that is the case, how can rishi sunak possibly campaign and stop the boats during the next general election campaign? during the next general election camaiun? ~ , , ., campaign? ministers don't comment on leaked reports. — campaign? ministers don't comment on leaked reports, but— campaign? ministers don't comment on leaked reports, but it _ campaign? ministers don't comment on leaked reports, but it is _ campaign? ministers don't comment on leaked reports, but it is important i leaked reports, but it is important to know that there was a world of difference between saying that a facility that is put in place would be available for five years and say that it would be needed for five years, so it is important not to conflate different issues. the key issueis conflate different issues. the key issue is that the numbers are coming down, we are taking action for example with our returns deal with albania, we are working constructively with french authorities. that is having an impact, but we recognise we need to do more and that is why we are taking steps to bring the cost down through the use of barges, and also why we are looking at were wanda and how we can have a deterrent effect for processing in a third country. steve barclay, thank you very much. the time isjust
7:46 am
the time is just after a quarter to eight. we will get some tips for you in a moment for looking at the meteor showers. the perseid meteor showers, it was great weather over the weekend but tonight could be better. need to get our telescopes ready for that tonight. no sleep, career. again! it is 7.46 exactly, and john is here. huge money in the premier league returning this weekend, and harry kane making his move to bayern munich. chelsea are about to break the british transfer record for the second time in a year with the sign of moises caicedo. 800 million they will have spent on new transfers. it isjust million they will have spent on new transfers. it is just eye watering sums of money, isn't it? good morning. the figures are eye—watering, another deal in excess of 100 million from chelsea
7:47 am
for a player and it is another british transfer record at £115 million pounds. alongside kane, this has been one of the other big transfer sagas of the summer. why? well, caicedo looked to be heading to liverpool, who'd agreed a deal of £111 million, but the player preferred a move to chelsea. leaving them to break the transfer record they set back injanuray when they signed enzo fernandez for £107 million. so what awaits him, well as fate would have both chelsea and liverpool played yesterday in a 1—1 draw. luiz diaz scoring first for the reds — chelsea equalising through axel disasi. and whilst caicedo didn't fancy a move to liverpool, jurgen klopp still happy with what he saw. we were there as well, we could have scored as well, in our moments. it was a super intense game. a wild game in moments. and we should have have controlled it much more often. it would have helped.
7:48 am
but there's a reason we couldn't do that, or didn't do it. and now we will keep working. tottenham began life without harry kane yesterday. spurs were losing against brentford until they grabbed an equaliser before half time from emerson royal, two all it finished. this the first competitive game for new spurs boss ange postecoglou. ange postecoglou left celtic in the summer — and his successor, brendan rodgers, has two wins out of two in the scottish premiership after he made a return to the club — they're top after beating aberdeen 3—1. matt o'riley�*s late goal sealed it. golf now, and it was a dramatic final day at the women's open, as it became the latest sporting event to be targeted by protesters. england's charlie hull had just played a shot on to the seventeenth green when protesters with flares got on to the course at walton heath in surrey. the protests appeared to be aimed at the tournament's sponsors, insurance company aig.
7:49 am
police made five arrests. protestors have targeted a number of sporting events including the open at royal liverpool, the ashes test at lord's, wimbledon and snooker�*s world championship in sheffield. after they were removed america's lilia vu went on to finish six shots clear of hull to claim the final women's major of the year. and the curtain came down yesterday on the world cycling championships. and what an 11 days it proved to be for great britain beth shreiver won gold on the final day as she led from start to finish in the bmx final in glasgow, taking home another world title. that was there 23rd gold of the championships as they finished top of the table.. a lot goes on behind the scenes that people don't see. we've been working very hard, and very grateful for everyone's support, and this home crowd, which is insane, so it tops it all off. i was dreaming about it, you daydream about it, but to actually do it,
7:50 am
it makes it feel a bit surreal, to be honest. but i'm going to lap it all up, enjoy this moment while it lasts, and i'll remember this moment forever now. just amazing. it was amazing. 24 goals in the para events as well. and we couldn't let the event pass, without showing you this. cycle ball. have you ever seen this? it was one of the events at the world championships. essentially football on two wheels. how skilful is that? it is incredible. could moises caicedo do that? i think not. this is where the real skill lies. we're going to be speaking to three of gb's succesful team who won gold at 8.30. plenty of gold is to talk about later. we should have a go at that! i knew you were going to say that. john, thank you very much indeed. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather.
7:51 am
i think you have mixed views for us this morning, carol. salli? i think you have mixed views for us this morning, carol.— this morning, carol. sally is absolutely _ this morning, carol. sally is absolutely right, _ this morning, carol. sally is absolutely right, it - this morning, carol. sally is absolutely right, it is i this morning, carol. sally is absolutely right, it is very i this morning, carol. sally is i absolutely right, it is very mixed. this weather watcher picture behind me was taking earlier at ullapool in the highlands. you can seejust a little blue sky. scotland and northern ireland faring quite well in terms of it being dry. there are a few scattered showers but you can see across england and also wales, heavy rain is depicted in this picture taken a little earlier by one of our other weather watchers in leicestershire. low pressure driving our weather, leicestershire. low pressure driving ourweather, it leicestershire. low pressure driving our weather, it is going to be pushing northwards and eastwards, and eventually this evening heading off into the north sea. itjust clipped southern scotland before it does so. but the heaviest rain as we go through the rest of this morning and into the afternoon is really going to be across northern wales and northern england. this won't just be heavy, it could also be quite thundery. i had a bit for scotland and northern ireland we hang onto that combination of
7:52 am
sunshine and showers. temperature —wise, 15 in the north to about 24 as we come further south. through this evening and overnight, you can see how the rain does pull away into the north sea. some clearer skies follow on, with just one or two showers. it is not going to be a cold night, temperatures falling away to be between 11 and 14. that leads us hunting tomorrow. high pressure will build across us, think settling down more, a bit more sunshine and it will be a drier day, a few showers here and there but they will be well scattered, and many of us will miss them all together, and it will feel better across northern england and north wales without all the rain. top temperature 22 celsius, but the highest likely to be around 23. into the middle part of the week, high pressure in charge of the weather, things remain settled and as we go through the rest of the week, after a misty start, it is going to turn
7:53 am
that bit warmer. but that doesn't mean it is going to be bone dry. carol, thank you. clear skies would be a good thing, wouldn't they? the perseid meteor shower lit up skies across the world over the weekend. the flashes known as shooting stars are one of the highlights of the year for skygazers. normally! sadly, here in the uk, cloudy weather meant it was hard for most of us to get a decent view but there could be another chance tonight. we're joined now by astrophysicist chris copperwheat. so, you didn't see it at the weekend? to so, you didn't see it at the weekend?— so, you didn't see it at the weekend? ., , ., , , weekend? to be honest, my entire weekend? to be honest, my entire weekend was _ weekend? to be honest, my entire weekend was all _ weekend? to be honest, my entire weekend was all about _ weekend? to be honest, my entire weekend was all about luton i weekend? to be honest, my entire. weekend was all about luton town's debut in the premier league for me! but i'm off to the lake district camping, so i hope to see some nice, clear skies. bud camping, so i hope to see some nice, clear skies-— clear skies. and it is about for the next week —

8:08 am
from home office sources that this was a junior official who just happened to be on a call involving the contractor, and so that message wasn't passed up the chain. and actually formal notification was not made to a more senior home office official until wednesday. in the past hour or so we have been speaking to the health secretary for england, steve barclay, here on breakfast, this is what he had to say. i breakfast, this is what he had to sa . . , , breakfast, this is what he had to sa. , , ., say. i absolutely recognise that it could be dangerous _ say. i absolutely recognise that it could be dangerous that's - say. i absolutely recognise that it could be dangerous that's why i say. i absolutely recognise that it could be dangerous that's why as| say. i absolutely recognise that it. could be dangerous that's why as a precautionary measure, people were moved _ precautionary measure, people were moved off— precautionary measure, people were moved off the barge as soon as ministers — moved off the barge as soon as ministers were aware. no one, people have had _ ministers were aware. no one, people have had health assessments and they have had health assessments and they have been_ have had health assessments and they have been no concerns in terms of any of— have been no concerns in terms of any of the — have been no concerns in terms of any of the people that have been on the barge _ any of the people that have been on the barge. checks are being followed up the barge. checks are being followed up on _ the barge. checks are being followed up on that _ the barge. checks are being followed up on that. the steps were taken as a precaution, — up on that. the steps were taken as a precaution, it's right therefore that we — a precaution, it's right therefore that we have the checks, they were done _ that we have the checks, they were done at _ that we have the checks, they were done at the — that we have the checks, they were done at the end ofjuly. i know ministers _ done at the end ofjuly. i know ministers in the home office were notified _ ministers in the home office were notified on— ministers in the home office were notified on thursday evening and took precautionary measures as a result _ took precautionary measures as a result. ., ., ., ,.,

8:10 am
nhs england says the aim is to simplify and update cancer standards with advice from clinical leaders. most cancer targets have been missed for some time. a consultation exercise was started last year and the outcome is set to be published imminently, subject to final approval by ministers. three targets would be maintained. diagnosis of cancer within 28 days of referral, the start of treatment within two months of an urgent referral, and treatment starting one month after a decision to treat. but other targets, for example, a two week wait from an urgent gp referral to see a consultant, including for breast cancer patients, will be dropped. an nhs spokesperson said the changes would remove the need for unnecessary outpatient appointments in order to comply with waiting time rules and allow more patients to get a faster diagnosis. everyone wants simpler targets. that will be easier for patients to
8:11 am
understand. the problem is we are in the worst cancer crisis of my lifetime and simply changing targets will not cure patients. we need to treat them faster and quicker. recent figures reveal that fewer than six in ten of cancer patients in england who had their treatment in england who had their treatment injune afteran in england who had their treatment injune after an urgent referral, still well below the target of 85% which was last met in 2015. hugh pym, bbc news. around 3.9 million working days have been lost to industrial action in the past year, more than at any point since the 19805. the report by the resolution foundation think—tank says many of the strikes have been fuelled by a real—terms drop in pay of more than 9% in several sectors. the government is considering putting messages inside cigarette packets to encourage smokers to quit. warnings have been printed on the outside of boxes for 50 years but now ministers will consult

on plans to go further, by placing inserts that would contain positive messages to encourage people to quit and signpost them to advice and support. you've probably spotted some of the classical big hitters if you've been tuning into bbc proms but if you look a little closer, you might have seen this man, felix klieser and his toes. just amazing, isn't it? felix was born without arms and so plays the french horn with his left foot instead. he has performed all over the world and made his proms debut with mozart's sunny concerto number four. isn't that incredible? it's amazing what is possible. the

8:27 am
a garden light at the king harold pub in harold wood in 2018.pubs are required to have what's called an electric installation condition report every five years . but daniellejones believes safety is still an issue. i would love it to be an annual inspection because you have such a large foot flow. it's got to be safe for the public. so i don't see why they can't have checks carried out annually, just to sign off that everything is ok. if there's no installation, then that's fine. if there is new installations, then they have a certificate to prove that the outdoor lighting or if there's been an extension, that the electrics are safe. a strike byjunior doctors is continuing across london. it's part of a long—running dispute over pay and conditions. health bosses have warned patients there will be disruption to services until tomorrow.
8:28 am
now, if you live in greenwich and you fancy watching charlton athletic for free, here's your chance. greenwich council is currently running an initiaitive to help people during the cost of living crisis. tickets can be requested through the council's website and are limitied to two per household. let's take a look at the tubes now. it's quite busy morning, lots of disruption. check before you travel. let's get the weather now with kat christodoulou. hello there, good morning to you. we've had a few heavy showers out there this morning. a bit on the breezy side as well, but those winds will fall lighter as we head into this afternoon, and we should see it brighten up with some sunny spells. but there is still the chance of a few showers. this system will eventually clear out to the north—east butjust behind, a ridge of high pressure will build. tuesday, a far more settled day i think for many of us. it should stay mostly dry with decent sunny spells. a mild start to the day, showery this morning, some of the showers falling heavy. it will be dry for a time with some sunshine around, but i think that the cloud
8:29 am
will build by the end of the afternoon with a few showers move in from the west. temperatures today at around 22 celsius, and there will be a noticeable breeze around. this evening, any showers will eventually clear out to the east, so very settled conditions overnight. it will be largely dry with clear skies. and under those clear skies, slightly cooler than the night we just had. 0ur temperatures will fall away to around 10—12 degrees. so into tomorrow, overall it will be a drier day, it will be a brighter day, but for many of us it should stay mostly dry with just the chance of a few showers around. and winds will be light on wednesday, very settled conditions with decent spells of sunshine, similar on thursday. that's it from me, we'll be back in half an hour. let's go back to sally and jon. hello this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent.
8:30 am
you are watching bbc breakfast at half past eight. there is not a dry eye in the house after shirley this morning! we haven't recovered from shirley and audrey. another amazing story for you now about this lady. when gill castle had to be fitted with a stoma bag following a traumatic birth, she was determined to show her son that it wouldn't stop her from achieving anything in her life. she is now attempting to become the first person with a colostomy pouch to swim the channel. and alongside herfamily, she's got a famous fan cheering her on, as alison freeman discovered when she went to see her in training. gill is unstoppable. here we are at ben nevis. everyone should do this. whoa! flip! 12 years ago, she was so badly injured during the birth of her son
8:31 am
that she had to have a stoma fitted. it diverts her bowel to a bag on her abdomen. but in just over a week's time, she's aiming to become the first woman with a stoma to swim the channel. there's a lot of people with stomas, are really, really fearful to be active and to go out there and to do things. they think they're going to bejudged by people, particularly swimming. a lot of people won't go to their local pool. and this is kind of like my really in—your—face way of saying, if i can swim the channel, you can go to your local pool. but really, ultimately, my everything is to show my son that his birth didn't ruin my life. times were tough for gill at first. she found it hard to manage her stoma, her mental health suffered, and she was no longer able to keep working as a police officer. gill also felt frustrated by the lack of support available to her. people didn't really know what to do with me. people kept saying, "you're really unique," which is not what you want to hear because you want you want to feel
8:32 am
safe and looked after and that people know what they're doing. so i was sort of left really for years to try and sort it out myself. it sounds quite lonely. yeah, it was really lonely, yeah, it was really lonely. and the problem is when you have a baby and things go a bit wrong with your body, for a lot of people, there's a lot of shame about that. me personally, i've never had any shame about what happened to me because at the end of the day, it's not my fault. but nobody talks about the fact that things go wrong. so when i did come out in public, i was flooded with contact from other mums saying, "wow, i'm so pleased that somebody is actually speaking out." and i guess this is why i do what i do. gill's efforts to raise awareness and understanding of people fitted with stomas has led to a friendship with the artist tracey emin. she had one fitted after surgery for bladder cancer.
8:33 am
when i found out i had to have the ileostomy stoma, i said, "no, i don't want it," i said to my surgeon, "no, i'm not having it. anything, anything but that." he said, "well, there is one other option." iwent, "right, i'll take it. i don't care what it is, i'll take it. i'll have that." he said "you won't like it. i said, "i don't care." he said, "it's death." and i said, "you know what? i'll take the bag." the fact that you swim, do eight—mile swims and all this kind of thing, and it's a major inspiration for anybody that has a stoma or anybody that has a disability. and so i would just already congratulate you on that. and whether you do that bloody swim or not, you will still get 100% of the money that i'm going to sponsor you with. so there you go. i don't even know what to say! also cheering gill on are her parents who'll be watching her progress from their home in northumberland via a tracker. they're obviously proud of her achievements. i must admit, at the beginning, also, i really didn't understand
8:34 am
what was happening either. and i don't think gillian did. and to overcome that really through her own strength of will and determination is amazing. but it was devastating. i shall sit up all night to watch, see what happens, you know. he sat up all night to watch the moon landing, so it's on par with the moon landing. oh, yes, i did! i saw the moon landing, won't say landing, first step on the moon, then i went straight to bed. i said, that's it. history has been made. so when gill puts her feet on french soil, that'll be a moment of history for you as well. yes, definitely, definitely. when i spoke to your mum and dad a moment ago, your dad said it was as important as man stepping foot on the moon. are you feeling the pressure a little bit here? i do, but really, the channel now isn't as important as the journey that i've already been on and taken other people on with me. you know, i've already shown people that you can swim for six hours in the sea with a stoma.
8:35 am
i've got a lot of attention already on birth trauma, on childbirth injuries, so really, in many ways, myjob's kind of already done. and getting to france will be the icing on the cake. i'm ready. bring it on! alison freeman, bbc news, northumberland. well done. and you can hear more about gill's story on bbc sounds, just search for the stoma swimmer. there is a podcast version of that story. we are turning to the sport now, and it is all about the big numbers. chelsea have broken their transfer record once again, £150 million for moises caicedo. he makes the move from brighton, and
8:36 am
alongside harry kane it is one of the big transfer sagas of the summer. why? well caicedo looked to be heading to liverpool, who'd agreed a deal of £111 million, but the player preferred a move to chelsea. leaving them to break the transfer record they set back injanuray when they signed enzo fernandez for £107 million. so what awaits him? well as fate would have both chelsea and liverpool played yesterday in a one all draw. luiz diaz scoring first for the reds — chelsea equalising through axel disasi. and whilst caicedo didn't fancy a move to liverpool, jurgen klopp still happy with what he saw. we feel pleased, and we feel at the same time disappointed, because i think that we wanted to win and we deserved to win. but that is only the beginning, and i'm so pleased with the performance of the players. very, very pleased with the staff after nearly six weeks working together. tottenham began life
8:37 am
without harry kane yesterday and were losing against brentford until they grabbed an equaliser before half time from emerson royal, two all it finished. this the first competitive game for new spurs boss ange postecoglou. you could look at it two ways. it's either an impediment to you or it's an opportunity, you know? and as you said, harry was such a massive figure at this football club for such a long time, and he will continue to be whether he is present in the building or not. from that perspective, we want to make sure today that we went out there and gave our supporters some belief and hope in the team we're going to be, and i thought they did that today. well, postecoglou left celtic in the summer, and his successor, brendan rodgers, has two wins out of two in the scottish premiership after he made a return to the club — they're top after beating aberdeen 3—1. matt 0'riley�*s late goal sealed it. the final game of the opening
8:38 am
weekend sees manchester united take on wolves tonight at old trafford. united will be without a new summer signing of their own, rasmus hojlund, who has been nursing a back problem and is not yet fit to feature. we had a very good position. 0ur fitness levels are very good. we are on really good levels, and i think also our performance levels during the preseason i would say is on a high level. now, cyclists have sped, balanced and flipped through the world cycling championships in glasgow which came to a close at the weekend. it was the first tournament of its kind bringing together competitors from over 130 nations across a range of disciplines and proved successful for great britain. we can look back at some of the many highlights now.
