good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. president biden tours the wildfire damage in hawaii, amid criticism of his handling of the crisis — he promises to support the people of maui for as long as it takes the first step towards a national prostate screening programme — the mri scan that could be a better way of detecting the most common cancer in middle—aged men. ever arrived somewhere on your holidays to find your bags didn't make it? well, you're not alone — last year was the worst in a decade for lost luggage. i'll have the details and tell you what your rights are. in sport, manchester united forward mason greenwood will leave the club after a six—month investigation

into his conduct — he was arrested injanuary last year, before all charges against him were dropped. the next move in encouraging more children to play chess — a million—pound funding boost, and a hundred boards to be installed in public parks. good morning. some low cloud and mist around this morning. that will lift and we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers. most of the showers in the north and west. all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday 22nd august. our main story. president biden has paid tribute to the resilience of the people of maui during a visit to the hawaiian island which was devastated by wildfires earlier this month. mr biden said the country would stand with them for as long as it took, and pledged to respect the traditions of local people as they rebuild their lives, homes and businesses. our north america correspondent

peter bowes reports. almost two weeks after wildfires swept through this hawaiian island, a scene of utter devastation to greet the president. after a helicopter tour of the burnt—out areas, mr biden and the first lady were introduced to some of the victims, and saw for themselves what's left of the old city of lahaina. the president has been criticised for his and the federal government's response to the disaster — with some local people saying it had been inadequate and uncoordinated. but mr biden appeared to be visibly moved by the scale of the tragedy, and promised long—term support for the island. we're focused on what's next. that's rebuilding the long term, rebuilding for the long term, and doing it together to help get us back on our feet, to rebuild the way we want to rebuild — by making sure your voices are heard. by respecting your traditions. by understanding the deep history and meaning of this sacred ground

and establishing your community — not to change it, its character, but re—establish it. the president was speaking near a historic banyan tree, which was damaged but survived the fires. today it's burned, but it's still standing. the tree survived for a reason. i believe it's a powerful — a very powerful symbol of what we can and will do to get through this crisis. and for this, for as long as it takes, we're going to be with you — the whole country will be with you. this was a visit for hugs, empathy, and a promise not to forget. but for this island, there's a long road to recovery ahead. the hawaiian authorities have said it could be months, even years before the remains of all the victims are identified, and 850 people are still unaccounted for. peter bowes, bbc news. that is just one of several

environmental stories we are bringing you this morning. jon has more. wildfires continue to ravage parts of western canada in scenes the country's prime minister, justin trudeau, has labelled "apocalyptic". officials hope cooler weather over the coming day may help them as they battle to contain the blazes — but thousands remain under evacuation orders as fires threaten towns across the region. graham satchell reports. the terrifying wildfires rampaging across canada have been burning for some time now. authorities say they're trying to fight more than 1,000 separate blazes covering more than 1a million hectares — an area roughly the size of greece. oh, my god. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, has called the crisis in his country scary and heartbreaking. canadians from coast to coast to coast are watching in horror the images of apocalyptic devastation and fires going on in communities that so many of us know and so many of us have friends.

in some parts of canada, whole towns have been told to evacuate. almost 20,000 people have left the city of yellowknife, the capital of canada's northwest territories. angela canning has ended up hundreds of miles away in fort providence, where evacuees are being given food and other essentials. i'm just, you know, taking my time. iwas... i was completely white knuckle the whole time. i was so thankful that when i got here...| didn't even know where i was going to go. aerial footage shows the scale of destruction in the town of enterprise. this small community, home to 120 people, has been completely destroyed. scientists say human—caused global warming is exacerbating natural hazards, making them both more frequent and more deadly. in the short term, the authorities here say there is rain forecast for later today, which should help. but tens of thousands of canadians who've been evacuated are now waiting to learn

if they will have a home to go back to. graham satchell, bbc news. another country battling wildfires is spain. on a visit to the island of tenerife, the prime minister pedro sanchez declared the areas affected as disaster zones. more than 12,000 people have had to flee their homes in what has become the canary islands�* biggest—ever wildfire. cooler temperatures and weaker overnight winds have helped firefighters bring the blazes under control. meanwhile, in the us, flooding has been causing mayhem. tropical storm hilary is moving northeast across the us state of nevada, bringing record rainfall, strong winds and flash flooding. flood warnings are in place there, as well as in california — where the storm cut off the desert city of palm springs. lucy letby has begun her whole—life sentence for murdering seven babies and trying to kill another six.

the 33—year—old refused to attend her sentencing hearing, prompting calls for the law to be changed to force criminals to turn up to court. the mother of school girl 0livia pratt—korbel — whose killer also refused to appear in court for his sentencing — has backed the campaign. and it's important for the offenders...to listen to the pain that they've caused. that first port of call of rehabilitation should be in that courtroom, and standing there listening to thejudge, and listening to the families�* impact statements. donald trump says he'll hand himself in to the authorities in the us state of georgia, where he's been charged with racketeering and election interference. the former president denies wrongdoing. he'll be heading to atlanta, rather than attending a debate of republican presidential hopefuls tomorrow in the state of wisconsin.

thailand's former prime minister, thaksin shinawatra, has returned home after 15 years in exile. he was ousted in a coup in 2006 and spent time away from the country to avoid legal charges. his arrival in bangkok comes as his political party prepares to form a new government today. an insect feared extinct in britain is set to make a comeback, thanks to pioneering conservation work. a freshwater fly, known as scarce yellow sally, was thought to have died out in the 1990s, but scientists recently discovered a small number in north wales. it has now been bred in captivity at chester zoo. the bosses of britain's biggest companies saw their pay surge last year. this comes as many staff see their pay rises struggling to keep up with the rate of inflation. ben has the latest. good morning.

bosses at some of the uk's largest companies have seen a big jump in their salaries at a time when many employees saw their pay packets outstripped by inflation. chief executive officers forfirms on the ftse 100 — the index of the uk's largest publicly listed companies — saw their pay surge by 16% last year. it went up on average from £3.38 million in 2021 to £3.91 million in 2022 on average. that's an average pay rise of around £500,000. it means they currently earn 118 times what the median uk full—time worker earns. bosses�* average pay had dropped during 2020 as companies were hit by the pandemic — but what we're seeing now is a continued upward trend. thank you very much. you might not want to watch this, but we have to... we

defence officials in ukraine have described claims of corruption within its army recruitment as "shameful and unacceptable". it comes after president zelensky recently sacked every regional recruitment head after officials were accused of taking bribes and intimidation. 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports. "it's ok to be scared." this is the latest messaging campaign from ukraine's military. it wants people to give their details so they can be called on if needed. but what if they don't want to? translation: the system is very outdated. _ this man is one of them. he's not happy with how the army finds its soldiers. translation: it's like soviet times. recruiters using these methods now is unacceptable.

mobilisation is why most men under 60 can't leave ukraine. here, drafting officers raid an arcade in the kyiv region. they hand out notices ordering them to sign up. russia's invasion means ukraine is constantly trying to replace soldiers. but with tens of thousands killed and even more injured or exhausted, the demand is not being met with just volunteers. but there are big questions over how it calls men up — with officials being accused of intimidation, and helping some escape the country for cash. there are exemptions, including poor health — but not forjust not wanting to fight. yehor watched his father suffer with mental—health issues after serving in afghanistan with the soviet army. translation: each | situation is individual. the fact it's written in the constitution that all male citizens must fight is, in my opinion, not in line with today's values.

thousands of men try to avoid the draft — either through tip—offs or leaving the country illegally — unless they�* re caught. "good evening. where are you going?" said this border guard. ukrainian defence officials are usually easier to engage with. this is clearly a sensitive subject. we've been refused interviews, access with drafting officers. so we're going to go to them. at the unveiling of the defence ministry's latest information campaign, an admission of problems which need fixing. i understand that people will be afraid of fighting on the front line, but i put it to you that they're also afraid of a recruitment system that's been accused of corruption, of not always following the law. do you understand why people don't trust the system? translation: corruptionj in the recruitment centres is unacceptable and shameful. but we should not forget that,

behind all that outrage — which is completely fair — there are two components of our victory. weapons and people. and the mobilisation process is what provides that. in an abandoned kyiv summer camp, civilians are trained in combat. the guns and grenades might be pretend... explosion. ..but there is a hope people like anton will volunteer for the real thing. are you scared about that idea in any way? of course, of course. every person, and i'm scared. i'm scared to hell. there is no chance i will be sitting here in kyiv if in the situation is worse. the ukraine of today is fighting for its tomorrow. a country united by wanting to survive... ..but also grappling with the fact that the battlefield is not for everyone. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv.

let's take a look at today's papers. and most of the front pages lead on the sentencing of lucy letby. "one final act of wickedness" is the headline in the daily mirror as it focuses on the "fury" at letby refusing to appear in court as she was handed a life sentence. the times uses another picture of letby, this time smiling with a drink in hand. according to the paper, justice secretary alex chalk says the government wants to change the law "at the earliest opportunity" to force "the worst offenders to attend court to face justice". we will speak to one of his predecessors, robert buckland, about that later. england goalkeeper mary earps features on the front of the guardian. the paper reports fans

are using diy methods to put her name on their shirts, after nike decided not to produce a replica england goalkeeper shirt. fans i doing it themselves. and mason greenwood appears on the backpage of the telegraph following the announcement that he is to leave manchester united. the crown prosecution service has dropped charges against the player and he has not been sacked by the club, but it was announced yesterday that it was in the best interests of all parties that greenwood left old trafford. we both love detectorists story and this is brilliant. this is andy taylor from this is brilliant. this is andy taylorfrom lincoln. he and his mate went metal detecting in nottinghamshire, not farfrom went metal detecting in nottinghamshire, not far from share would forest, there is a clue, and they found a golden posy ring and they found a golden posy ring and the inscription suggest it belonged to a sheriff of nottingham. ida! to a sheriff of nottingham. no! apparently- _ to a sheriff of nottingham. idol

london's university college hospital when he took part in a trial using mri scans. the 62—year—old's cancer would have been missed if he'd only had the standard psa blood test, which came back as normal. if ijust had the blood test, i would be carrying on life as normal, walking around unaware that there was some sort of ticking time bomb inside me of a cancer slowly growing. so by the time i then did find out, presumably it would have been much harder to treat, and much more dangerous to me. so you feel fortunate? yeah, very fortunate. i'm, you know, thrilled that i was diagnosed so early. we don't see any sign of cancer recurrence there... paul was among 300 men aged 50 to 75 who took part in the trial led by university college london. of the 25 men whose aggressive cancers were picked up via mri, over half — like paul — had negative blood tests. we think these are really significant results.

what we see is that a short ten—minute mri scan used as a screening test can selectively pick up significant cancers in a much more effective way than the psa blood test alone. that'll help us to diagnose the important cancers early, when they're curable. the prostate is a walnut—sized gland which sits below the bladder. it's the uk's most common male cancer, with 52,000 new diagnoses every year. this is what men over 50 can request from their doctor — a blood test for the protein psa. high levels can indicate cancer, so it's a useful test, but unreliable as it's not always accurate. thank you. black men have a one—in—four risk of getting prostate cancer — double that of white men — but are less likely to come

forward for testing. after he developed prostate cancer, errol mckellar started offering men discounts on their mot if they got themselves checked out. and he now runs a charity to raise awareness of the disease. when prostate cancer turns up at your front door, it doesn't care, right, whether you're black, whether you're white. it doesn't care about your wealth. it doesn't care about you. what it will do if you ignore it, it will kill you. 0k, paul. nice and still. larger trials will be needed to confirm the value of mri scans before a national screening programme for prostate cancer could be set up — which may take up to a decade. fergus walsh, bbc news. taking a ride on one of britain's 150 heritage railways is a lovely way to spend a day out, but there are questions as to what will happen once the uk's largest opencast coal mine closes in november.

where will they get their coal from? after work stops at the ffos—y—fran pit in merthyr tydfil, coal for steam railways will have to be imported — causing concern over costs and the environment. spencer stokes reports. it's hot, dirty work, shovelling more than a tonne of coal a day into a hungry locomotive. but without coal, there would be no steam. and without steam, heritage railways like the keighley & worth valley would look and feel very different. where that coal comes from is now an open question — with the closure of the country's last mine in south wales. it means steam lines up and down the country will be importing theirfuel from poland, colombia, or even australia. i think the welsh pit closing is a blow for the industry. it's... you know, it does mean that every time we want coal, it's going to have to come from abroad, which i think is a real shame. the complications that

come with that, the cost that comes with that, and also the increased carbon footprint that comes with that, too. the ffos—y—fran opencast pits will close in november. its 15—year—long mining licence has expired and, whilst coal prices are at record levels, the welsh government won't extend the licence. and so the hunt for another supply is already under way. with the demise of british pits over the last 30 years, the railway has been looking for other sources of coal. this is lump coal imported in from poland. it burns really well. and here we've got some ovoids. now, these are interesting — they're a mixture of coal dust and molasses. they don't burn as well, but are supposed to be more environmentally friendly. lines like the worth valley market themselves as steam attractions. diesel trains don't have the same draw. people come from all overjust to see the steam trains. and it's nice that the railways

are keeping it going, you know? well, they remind me a lot of my childhood, actually, when we used to travel on steam trains all the time. and it's great to bring the grandchildren. it's not just steam trains still using coal — the biggest buyer is the steel industry, who will also have to import it. so what's going to have to happen is that it's going to have to be basically offshoring our responsibility from the environmental point of view, and we're having to ship coal for all those industries — including the 35,000 tonnes that we need for the heritage sector. the men and women behind heritage railways like a challenge. the hunt for new coal supplies is the latest test, as the centuries—old domestic supply finally bites the dust. that was spencer stokes reporting. lovely pictures. coming up...

no, you're not seeing things... any moment now you will see that... number 5 is alive. this is an exact replica ofjohnny 5, the much—loved robot from the '80s film short circuit. remember that? i do, i loved it. it's been the passion project of ryan howard, who has spent six years making the machine. it was his lockdown project. isn't it remarkable? it was his lockdown pro'ect. isn't it remarkable?h it was his lockdown pro'ect. isn't it remarkable? ~ . ., ., ryan will be telling us how he did itjust before 8:00. but first, johnny, take it away. now the news, travel and weather where _ now the news, travel and weather where you — now the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. a london think tank has found that chief executives of the country's biggest companies saw their pay rise by on average over 15% last year while most workers had their wages squeezed. london's "high pay centre" says

the median pay of a ftse 100 boss was £3.9 million, up from £3.3 million the year before. it said their average earnings were nearly 120 times more than a typical worker. the amount of time young people spend in pe and exercise at school has dropped by 12% since the london olympics. the youth sport trust says it "should be a matter of immediate national concern" while a children's charity believes it's a "further threat to the wellbeing of young people". the government says it's boosted funding for pe. parking fines could be going up because london councils are concerned the current fines aren't acting as a deterrant. they say inflation has reduced the value of penalty charges. the current fine on borough roads is £130. the motoring group the rac says there "wasn't a scrap of evidence" to show that increasing fines would stop contraventions, which

were often "innocent mistakes". in exactly one week's time, the ultra low emission zone will be expanded to cover all london boroughs. it means anyone driving a noncompliant car in london will have to pay £12.50 a day to do so. if you have something to say about it to the people behind it listen to this. hi, i'm eddie nestor. and this morning from ten tfl are coming on to answer your questions on ulez. get calling now. let's take a look at the tubes now. the dlr has no service between canning town and stratford international. the london overground is part closed until friday and there are some minor delays on the piccadilly line. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. similar to yesterday morning, there is a little bit of cloud first thing this morning but it will break

up and we'll see some decent spells of sunshine. high pressure is still in charge so it's a settled day, plenty of sunny spells, a little bit more cloud perhaps bubbling up into the afternoon but temperatures reaching 25 celsius. overnight tonight, dry and clear to start with at least but we will see more patchy cloud edging in as we head through to dawn tomorrow morning. staying dry, minimum 12 or 13 celsius. tomorrow morning, that patchy cloud will break up. high pressure stilljust about hanging on so we have got another fine and largely dry day, perhaps a little more cloud the further north you go, hanging on to the sunshine further south on wednesday. temperatures tomorrow 26 celsius so again, another warm day. now, thursday, you start to see a frontjust edging south. that's going to bring bit more cloud, and that's the chance perhaps of a shower but it also introduces a north—westerly breeze and flow for friday so temperatures getting cooler by the weekend. that's all from me for now.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it's a traveller's worst nightmare. withjon kay and sally nugent. getting off the plane and realising your luggage hasn't arrived with you. it's horrible, that moment when all of the cases are going around in your hadn't arrived. and they all look the same and everyone is very tense! ben can explain why it is getting worse. i tense! ben can explain why it is getting worse-— tense! ben can explain why it is getting worse. i have been to the other side of— getting worse. i have been to the other side of the _ getting worse. i have been to the other side of the world _ getting worse. i have been to the other side of the world and - getting worse. i have been to the other side of the world and my i getting worse. i have been to the | other side of the world and my bag didn't make it and all i had was my rock —— rucksack with a few things i'd look into the cabin. lesson learned! what a frustrating scenario indeed. you get to your sunny destination only to find out your swimsuit and shorts didn't arrive with you.

last year saw a peak in baggage mishandling rates. a staggering 26 million luggage items suffered delays, losses, or damage in 2022 despite a drop of more than billion passengers compared with pre—pandemic levels. that's the highest number of incidents recorded in the last decade. it works out as nearly eight lost bags per 1000 passengers globally. and that's largely down to the shortage of ground handling staff at a time when travel restrictions were lifted and international travel resumed. jen meierhans has been speaking to one passenger affected by this. i didn't really feel comfortable having photos taken with me in the same outfit all the time. chloe flew to italy for her friend's wedding, but her luggage got lost on the way. i spent the first couple of hours, which you would normally think, "oh, i'll go and see the sights," running around shops, trying to find pharmacies to get like replacement toothpaste, toiletries. a lot of stress i didn't particularly want on kind

of my first holiday that i've had in quite a few years. and that was the experience of witnessing my friend get married, which unfortunately i'll never be able to to relive because obviously that's a once in a lifetime opportunity. chloe's experience is thankfully rare, but last year saw the worst lost baggage rates globally in a decade. we have seen a 75% increase year on year and that's as a result of the post—pandemic. we've seen staff shortages and we've seen a surge in passenger traffic. so people are really anxious about travelling with baggage and we've seen that with the baggage mountains. i think what we want to do is put confidence back into passengers to travel with bags. airlines are now using al to help reunite holiday—makers with their lost luggage. there's an algorithm that basically works out what's the next best available flight, and that bag is then sent directly on that flight without any human intervention. there are a few things you can do to reduce the chance of your luggage going missing. make sure you've got your name and address on the inside and outside of your bag.

so if it does go missing, the airline knows where to send it. make your bag stand out, add colourful straps or stickers so someone at the airport doesn't pick up your bag instead of theirs. you can add a gps tracker to follow your luggage's journey. keep all of your valuables in your hand luggage. just for your peace of mind they'll be with you at all times. and always check your insurance before you fly so if anything does go missing, you're covered. easyjet has apologised to chloe and said it will keep looking for her bag for 45 days before it is declared lost. that means, you know, i'm going almost two, three months without getting any kind of compensation for my bag and there's items in there like straighteners, hairdryer, things that i need on kind of a daily, weekly basis that i've had to buy again. so that's kind of more money that i'm kind of out of pocket. they were dressy enough that i could use for a barbecue. for now all chloe can do is wait and hope her bag is found. jennifer meierhans, bbc news.

but it's not all chaos. new data seen by the bbc indicates the situation has already started to improve in the first six months of this year. the international air transport association says this year 4.4 billion people are expected to fly, that's a similar figure to pre pandemic levels. fortunately, as passenger numbers continue to grow the number of mishandled pieces of luggage is falling, from 5.8 million in 2019 to 5.7 million in 2023. and the situation should improve further as 96% of airlines plan to improve baggage handling technology by 2025. they say it'll make things more efficient, cheaper and improve the experience for passengers. so what do you do if your luggage is lost, stolen or damaged? first you must contact the airline in writing within seven days to make a claim. most airlines will reimburse you for the essentials you need to buy when your bag is delayed.

tings like toiletries, underwear and laundry costs things like toiletries, underwear and laundry costs but only if you keep the receipts. if you are claiming for what was inside your case you will need to prove the value. and if you've travelled on connecting flights, you can claim from any of the airlines, but it would usually be the final airline that would handle the claim. and there's more information and advice on the bbc news website. thank you very much, then. let us know if you — thank you very much, then. let us know if you have _ thank you very much, then. let us know if you have been _ thank you very much, then. let us know if you have been affected - thank you very much, then. let us| know if you have been affected this summer, or if you have any tips for tracking your bag, technology? making your bag stand out or making sure it doesn't happen. all of those welcome in the usual ways. john sure it doesn't happen. all of those welcome in the usual ways.- welcome in the usual ways. john is never the sport. — welcome in the usual ways. john is never the sport, good _ welcome in the usual ways. john is never the sport, good morning. . welcome in the usual ways. john is l never the sport, good morning. yes, news on the — neverthe sport, good morning. deis news on the manchester united forward mason greenwood who will be leaving the club by mutual consent. he was arrested injanuary last year, all charges were dropped but

following an investigation it is felt his future is best served away from the club. good morning. the manchester united forward mason greenwood leaving the club by mutual agreement following a six—month internal investigation into his conduct. the player was arrested in january last year, and charged later in october 2022 following allegations of attempted rape and assault, something greenwood always denied. those charges were dropped in february this year. united say that following the conclusion of their own investigation, they found that greenwood had not committed any of the alleged offences. the forward will remain on full pay but will not return to training with united and is now set to be sold or loaned to another club for the remainder of his contract, which runs until 2025. merseyside police are investigating reports of racist comments aimed towards everton player amadou onana. it came following everton's 4—0 defeat to aston villa on sunday which left them bottom of the premier league. everton say they're conducting an investigation, saying any such abuse is vile and will not be tolerated. it's two wins from two for arsenal following a 1—0 win at crystal palace in the premier league last night.

the breakthrough came in the second half when arsenal's eddie nketiah was fouled by palace goalkeeper sam johnstone. martin odegaard slotted in the penalty and despite having takehiro tomiyasu sent off, arsenal clung on for all three points. to play 30 minutes in this league away from only ten minutes something very difficult to do. the contribution of the subs, i think they were magnificent, they really understood what we had to do. we hardly gave anything away and credit to them again. and the difficulties in the decisions stay there. england's lionesses land back in the uk this morning, without that world cup trophy, but with plenty of pride and satisfaction following their run to the final. this was them leaving, they'll get a reception similar to this when they touch back down here. arsenalforward beth mead missed the tournament because of injury but insists this is just the start of england's success. it's another step in the right direction and yeah, we just

fell short this time round but like we said, the girls can walk away from this tournament and have their heads held high. as a nation we're super, super proud of them and as the lioness squad, we have set our standards within the last two years now we've just got to keep pushing. meanwhile, after heavy criticism, spanish football federation president luis rubiales has apologised for kissing jenni hermoso after spain won the final. this was the moment. in a statement he said: "i was completely wrong, i have to admit it. it was without bad intention at a time with a lot of excitement. i have to apologise, learn from this, and understand that when you are president you have to be more careful." it was a disappointing day for great britain and for dina asher smith at the world athletics championships in hungary. she only managed to qualify for the final by a thousandth of a second and then went on to finish eighth in a really strong field. america's sha'carri richardson won gold in a championship record time.

jamaicans shericka jackson and five time champion shelly—ann fraser—pryce finished second and third respectively. today has not been a fab day for me i have to say, i'm very disappointed because i feel like i'm in an amazing place. i can run so it is what it is, finished the race, is what it is. at the end of the day it's a world final. so the time to do it is now. and, yeah, disappointed but, yeah. in the men's hundred, the oval invincibles have reached the final for the first time thanks largely to the batting of sam billings. chasing 149, the invincibles were struggling on 21—3, but up stepped billings hitting 76 off 40 balls, guiding them to a five wicket win. defending champions rockets stay third but now need the southern brave and welsh fire to lose their final match in order to qualify for the semifinal. and there was a disappointing end to kathryn sciver brunt�*s professional career in the women's match. the former england bowler was unable to play her last match

because of a hip injury and she watched on as her rockets team were beaten by the invincibles who won by three runs. wales head coach warren gatland admits he's trying something new as he announced his 33—man squad for the upcoming world cup in france. gatland has chosenjac morgan and dewi lake as co—captains for the tournament rather than a standalone skipper. wales open their campaign against fiji in bordeaux on 10th september and gatland has explained the thinking behind his decision. the two lads, the two young players, players are for the future for us. and i just think they will complement each other really well. i'm excited about, they're good mates, got a good relationship and then depending on what game it is, you know, one will lead and be captain for that day and the other will be supporting them. it's a good opportunity,

something i've never done before but i did speak about it particularly to the two younger players in the squad and captain, and both of them have got a big future ahead of them. it's an important day for owen farrell and billy vunipola, they'll discover if they can play at the world cup. both face disciplinary panels over their recent red cards. for farrell, it's the second time in a week he's been through it, after world rugby appealed the decision to overturn the red card he received against wales at twickenham. the pair risk bans and could miss the start of the world cup with england's preparations in disarray. and finally harry kane has had his fair share of change recently, after moving from north london to munich but that's not all that's changed. the england captain has announced the birth of his fourth child, child, called henry edward kane, who was born on sunday, two days after kane senior scored his first goal for bayern

in a 4—0 victory over werder bremen in the german bundesliga. congratulations to harry and his family. if he grows up to be a star striker like his dad he will play for germany. like his dad he will play for germany-— like his dad he will play for german . ., , , ., j germany. he was born in germany? that would — germany. he was born in germany? that would be _ germany. he was born in germany? that would be a _ germany. he was born in germany? that would be a hammer— germany. he was born in germany? that would be a hammer blow, - that would be a hammer blow, wouldn't it? let's hope he is not the one of the four he gets the football skills!— the one of the four he gets the football skills! what a week they have had! quite _ football skills! what a week they have had! quite a _ football skills! what a week they have had! quite a lot _ football skills! what a week they have had! quite a lot of- football skills! what a week they have had! quite a lot of change. | have had! quite a lot of change. thank you very much, john. can you imagine what you'll be doing when you're 99 years old? no! maybe putting your feet up and having a rest. if we are still here, jon. well, great—grandmother pauline martin from cornwall is still working in herfamily�*s business and refuses to retire. kevin hay has more. 99 years young, pauline martin still very much part of the working day here at this liskeard seed merchant.

i'm interested in everything that everybody does. i like to know if the animals are all right, and what them can do, and how the harvest is going and, you know. pauline says she stays healthy by eating well and walking a mile a day. her daughter, alison, says she's amazing. she comes in here for weighing up. she likes to weigh up the seeds. sure enough, yes, we don't expect her to lift any bags any more. but yes, she weighs up and likes to go, if we're delivering seeds and we don't know where to go, she seems to remember where most customers live and where they used to be, so she goes out on deliveries with my brother and his son. and pauline's advice for a long and productive life? keep going as long as you can and be interested. if you keep your interest, that's the thing, i think. the great grandmother will turn 100 next year. and although she is slowing

down, around here, they still call her the boss. if that is slowing down! don't slow down, that — if that is slowing down! don't slow down. that is _ if that is slowing down! don't slow down, that is the _ if that is slowing down! don't slow down, that is the key, _ if that is slowing down! don't slow down, that is the key, keep - if that is slowing down! don't slow i down, that is the key, keep walking. amazing, 99, incredible, good stuff. lets all of us keep going, and if we are going out for our mile walk today, what is the weather going to be like? can you tell it, carol? it will be mixed. in the south it is mostly dry, the northern half of the country is sunshine and showers. that is the book is notjust for today but for the next few days. it is going to cool down towards the end of the week in southern areas. if you are stepping out and you have an allergy to wheat pollen, across england and wales, the levels are high. we are starting off with patchy rain in the northern half of the country, a few spots getting into wales in the south—west but for

the rest of us it is dry. there is some cloud around and some mist units as well. this is what is producing the patchy rain, this weather front, producing the patchy rain, this weatherfront, no pressure to producing the patchy rain, this weather front, no pressure to the north, high pressure in the south keeping things settled. the northern half of the country hangs on to sunshine and showers, a lot of the north and west, and it will be a breezy day today as well. in the sunshine it would feel quite pleasant, 25 or 26 in the south—eastern corner. as we push further north, we are looking at 16 to 23. heading into the evening and overnight, many of the showers will tend to fade. we will hang on to a few across western scotland, a few in wales and then we have got a weather front just coming in wales and then we have got a weather frontjust coming in introducing some rain most of all across wales and it could extend towards the midlands by the time we get to the end of the night. no spells as well and overnight lows between eight and 14 degrees so a

bit cooler in scotland in last night but for the rest of us, pretty. this is the weather front bringing showery rain across wales and into the midlands. a fairly weak and as we go through the course of the day after the morning rain, it will tend to break up, most of the rain well made, we will have some areas of cloud. tomorrow it is the north and west which will see the showers as west which will see the showers as we push further south, we are back into the sunshine. many of us will have a dry day. 15 in the north to 24 or 25 as we push further south. edging on into thursday, no pressure to the north—west, and a weather front is draped around it bringing rain across scotland. some will be heavy and thundery and slow—moving. we also have some thundery showers, close to the channel islands, pushing up towards the south—east. they will ease as we go to the afternoon. in between these two

areas we are looking at some sunshine. temperatures rising from 14 in lerwick to 24 or 25 again in the far south—east. drifts off into the far south—east. drifts off into the north sea beyond that, a weather front sinks southwards and the wind changes to have a more northerly component to it. into the ensuing few days it will be mixed, as the weather front comes south it will introduce some rain, behind it sunshine and showers. you will notice the difference in the temperatures. instead of 25 or 26, it will slide and as we get to the weekend, it is a mixture of variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells and also a few showers. so tomorrow we will get an idea about bank holiday monday? it’s so tomorrow we will get an idea about bank holiday monday? it's not lookin: too about bank holiday monday? it's not looking too bad _ about bank holiday monday? it's not looking too bad at _ about bank holiday monday? it's not looking too bad at the _ about bank holiday monday? it's not looking too bad at the moment, - about bank holiday monday? it's not looking too bad at the moment, i. looking too bad at the moment, i think it is a bank holiday everywhere but scotland, i will

check that. not looking too bad especially where we are going to have the bank holiday.— especially where we are going to have the bank holiday. thank you very much- _ i love that, not looking too bad. good for gardeners, though. a gardener whose allotment was sabotaged after salt was thrown on the soil, says her community project has doubled in size thanks to the 'overwhelming' donations she has received. more than £250,000 was raised to support carly burd's mission to feed hard—up families in essex, after her plot was targeted in april. our reporter, charlotte rose has been to meet her. it's being outside, its working with the ground, it's growing your own vegetables and being proud. carly is taking stock. it's less than a year since she first began feeding her local community by growing food in her own garden and buying close to expiry food from the supermarkets. she expanded the project to take over an allotment, but then disaster struck.

i'm absolutely heartbroken. someone'sjumped over in the night and put salt all over the land. her social media post went viral and the reaction was huge. she's since received £254,000 in donations and is now feeding more than 2200 people each month. before i was funding the parcels, trying to scrape the money together or begging companies to donate some money to try and get it together to get these parcels out. and now i don't have to worry, you know? oh, my goodness! look how many onions you've got. i know, i'll be able to pull them next month, they'll be ready. now she's got big plans to renovate the allotments and bring it into community use. i have a company that want to step in and it's going to take them about four days, they said, and the whole lot�*s going to be done, which is unbelievable. i'm so excited. and they're going to come down with a whole team of people and do the whole land first and then come down and build the whole lot up for me, which, what can you say?

you know, that's amazing. and we'll have our allotments just how we want them, and they'll be open and ready. i'm just so excited. carly�*s project has grown from a small seed and it's really bearing fruit. charlotte rose, bbc news. chess maybe centuries old, but it's enjoying a surge in popularity amongst young people, and the government wants it to continue. the english chess federation will be given £500,000 in funding to support coaching, and install a hundred new chess tables in public spaces. celestina olulode reports. the strategy, skill and anticipation of a game that's captivated minds for more than 1500 years. these new recruits from malorees school in north west london

have been learning since january. i feel relaxed and calmed because you got lots of, you have to put lots of concentration into thinking of how you would checkmate with the pieces and it's just really calm. always focus on the game cos there could be a secret attack on one of your special pieces like a rook or a bishop or a knight. so always focus. zachary and his friends learned to play with the help of a charity called chess in schools. and now isaac's teaching his parents. yes, i've been teaching my mum and my dad, and it's been really fun going through the experience of that. and what do your parents say to you? well, they're really, like, i think they're really proud of me and my brother playing chess, it's a really good game of the mind and thinking. since leo started playing chess, i've seen a big improvement. he seems to be far better

at solving problems. definitely, there has been a change, especially it has made _ them grow in confidence. and one key move ahead, the government has announced £500,000 of funding for the english chess federation over two years. zachary hopes it will mean more children will take up the game. chess is a very good game or sport and it helps with your tactical thinking, your decision making. my message to the prime minister would be to help encourage the chess federation to encourage more children to play chess. in england, chess is not officially recognised as a sport, so it can't get access to funds that sports groups can. malcolm payne is a former player and international master. he says a lot can be achieved with the funding. so it's potentially transformational because what it means is that we'll be able to get the very best

coaching for this enormous group of incredibly talented young players. and the thing about chess is that it's very low cost. the money will be used to support disabled and female players and give the national team a much needed boost. i think it's only really the beginning. i mean, there's an awful lot more that we can do. we'd like to try and regain england's former status as the second best nation, but it will be extremely difficult. want to play chess online or learn how to improve? but there's love for the game at every level, with interest rising during covid lockdowns. with more than 130 million registered users, online platform chess.com has recorded a 350% increase in members since the start of the pandemic. i don't want to disturb you if you're in the middle of this, but there's loads of people playing chess... set up less than two years ago with ten chess boards, jake's group now meets at multiple locations. he's in favour of government funding, but wonders if it

will benefit his community. so i think it's a good contribution. but in terms of community chess, what we do here, it will probably have very little impact on us. we're self—funded, we do things ourselves. i know you went to a state school, so you were given boards, but not much supervision after that. it's nice to feel when you're, when you come from the poorer side of the track, it's nice to feel that you can not only compete but do better than the richer side of the track without. .. again, iwas fortunate because i had some guidance from someone at home, but there were other people in my school who didn't have that guidance. with each move winning more admirers and government funding announced, there's eager expectation a greater number of champions will come through the ranks soon. celestina olulode, bbc news.

london's high pay centre says the median pay of ftse100 bosses was £3.9 million — up from 3.3 million the year before. it said their average earnings were nearly 120 times more than a typical worker. parking fines could be going up because london councils are concerned the current fines aren't acting as a deterrant. they say inflation has reduced the value of penalty charges. the current fine on borough roads is £130. the motoring group the rac says there "isn't a scrap of evidence" to show that increasing fines would stop contraventions, which were often "innocent mistakes". in exactly one week's time, the ultra low emission zone will be expanded to cover all london boroughs. it means anyone driving a non—compliant car in london will have to pay £12.50 a day to do so. if you have something to say about it — to the people behind it —

frustration and anger for the families of victims of the 1974 birmingham pub bombings — prosecutors says there's not enough evidence to bring any new charges. bosses at britain's biggest companies saw their pay rise by almost 16% on average last year — while most workers' wages failed to keep pace with rising prices. in sport, manchester united forward mason greenwood will leave the club after a six—month investigation into his conduct — he was arrested injanuary last year, before all charges against him were dropped. did you ever hear the one about the comedian who was on breakfast? we'll speak to the comic who came up with this year's joke of the year. good morning. we are starting off with low cloud and mist, which will give way to sunshine and showers. most showers in the northern half of the country, drier and warmer in the south. all the details later in the

programme. it's tuesday 22nd august. our main story. president biden has paid tribute to the resilience of the people of maui during a visit to the hawaiian island which was devastated by wildfires earlier this month. mr biden said the country would stand with them for as long as it took, and pledged to respect the traditions of local people as they rebuild their lives, homes and businesses. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. almost two weeks after wildfires swept through this hawaiian island, a scene of utter devastation to greet the president. after a helicopter tour of the burnt—out areas, mr biden and the first lady were introduced to some of the victims, and saw for themselves what's left of the old city of lahaina. the president has been criticised for his and the federal government's response to the disaster — with some local people saying it had been inadequate and uncoordinated. but mr biden appeared to be visibly moved by the scale of the tragedy, and promised long—term support

for the island. we're focused on what's next. that's rebuilding the long term, rebuilding for the long term, and doing it together to help get us back on our feet, to rebuild the way we want to rebuild — by making sure your voices are heard. by respecting your traditions. by understanding the deep history and meaning of this sacred ground and establishing your community — not to change it, its character, but to re—establish it. the president was speaking near a historic banyan tree, which was damaged but survived the fires. today it's burned, but it's still standing. the tree survived for a reason. i believe it's a powerful — a very powerful symbol of what we can and will do to get through this crisis. and for this, for as long as it takes, we're going to be with you — the whole country will be with you. this was a visit for hugs, empathy, and a promise not to forget. but for this island, there's a long

road to recovery ahead. the hawaiian authorities have said it could be months, even years before the remains of all the victims are identified, and 850 people are still unaccounted for. peter bowes, bbc news. we have more environmental news for you this morning. here isjon. tens of thousands of people have had to flee their homes in canada as wildfires continue to ravage western regions of the country. canada's prime minister, justin trudeau, has labelled the scenes there "apocalyptic", and while officials hope cooler weather may help them as they battle to contain the blazes, the threat from the fires remains high. graham satchell reports. the terrifying wildfires rampaging across canada have been burning for some time now. authorities say they're trying to fight more than 1,000 separate blazes covering more than 14 million hectares — an area roughly

the size of greece. oh, my god. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, has called the crisis in his country scary and heartbreaking. canadians from coast to coast to coast are watching in horror the images of apocalyptic devastation and fires going on in communities that so many of us know and so many of us have friends. in some parts of canada, whole towns have been told to evacuate. almost 20,000 people have left the city of yellowknife, the capital of canada's northwest territories. angela canning has ended up hundreds of miles away in fort providence, where evacuees are being given food and other essentials. i'm just, you know, taking my time. iwas... i was completely white knuckle the whole time. i was so thankful that when i got here...| didn't even know where i was going to go. aerial footage shows the scale of destruction in the town of enterprise. this small community, home to 120 people, has been

completely destroyed. scientists say human—caused global warming is exacerbating natural hazards, making them both more frequent and more deadly. in the short term, the authorities here say there is rain forecast for later today, which should help. but tens of thousands of canadians who've been evacuated are now waiting to learn if they will have a home to go back to. graham satchell, bbc news. another country battling wildfires is spain. on a visit to the island of tenerife, the prime minister pedro sanchez declared the areas affected as disaster zones. more than 12,000 people have had to flee their homes, in what has become the canary islands' biggest—ever wildfire. cooler temperatures and weaker overnight winds have helped firefighters bring the blazes under control. meanwhile in the us,

flooding has been causing mayhem. tropical storm hilary is moving northeast across the us state of nevada bringing record rainfall, strong winds and flash flooding. flood warnings are in place there — as well as in california — where the storm cut off the desert city of palm springs. lucy letby has begun her whole life sentence for murdering seven babies and trying to kill another six. the 33—year—old refused to attend her sentencing hearing, prompting calls for the law to be changed to force criminals to turn up to court. the mother of school girl olivia pratt—korbel, whose killer also refused to appear in court for his sentencing, has backed the campaign. and it's important for the offenders...to listen to the pain that they've caused. that first port of call of rehabilitation should be in that courtroom, and standing there listening

to thejudge, and listening to the families' impact statements. donald trump says he'll hand himself in to the authorities in the us state of georgia, where he's been charged with racketeering and election interference. the former president denies wrongdoing. he'll be heading to atlanta, rather than attending a debate of republican presidential hopefuls tomorrow in the state of wisconsin. thailand's former prime minister, thaksin shinawatra, has returned home after fifteen years in exile. he was ousted in a coup in 2006 and spent time away from the country to avoid legal charges. his arrival in bangkok comes as his political party prepares to form a new government today. japan has announced it will release more than a million tonnes of water from the fukushima nuclear power plant on thursday. the plant was destroyed

by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011, and since then the contaminated water has been used to cool the damaged reactors. the plan to release it into the ocean has caused alarm across asia and the pacific. the bosses of britain's biggest companies saw their pay surge last year. this comes as many staff see their pay rises struggling to keep up with the rate of inflation. ben has the latest. good morning. bosses at some of the uk's largest companies have seen a big jump in their salaries at a time when many employees saw their pay packets outstripped by inflation. chief executive officers forfirms on the ftse100 — the index of the uk's largest publicly listed companies — saw their pay surge by 16% last year. it went up on average from £3.38 million in 2021 to £3.91 million in 2022 on average.

that's an average pay rise of around £500,000. it means they currently earn 118 times what the median uk full—time worker earns. bosses' average pay had dropped during 2020 as companies were hit by the pandemic — but what we're seeing now is a continued upward trend. cats are usually known for wandering around the local neighbourhood — not going on a 500—mile round trip. this is gizmo, she was found by cab driver tom hutchings behind the grille of his taxi. he found her after driving to bristol airport via llanelli, cardiff and treherbert. there she is coming out. 500 miles!

but don't worry. the kitten was taken for a check—up. could have done with an mot! and turned out to have been missing for about a week. she's since been reunited with her owners. cats are tough. gaps are tough. a week? 500 _ cats are tough. gaps are tough. a week? 500 miles. _ cats are tough. gaps are tough. a week? 500 miles. in _ cats are tough. gaps are tough. a week? 500 miles. in a _ cats are tough. gaps are tough. a week? 500 miles. in a taxi - cats are tough. gaps are tough. a. week? 500 miles. in a taxi engine. god knows — week? 500 miles. in a taxi engine. god knows what _ week? 500 miles. in a taxi engine. god knows what it _ week? 500 miles. in a taxi engine. god knows what it would _ week? 500 miles. in a taxi engine. god knows what it would have - week? 500 miles. in a taxi engine. god knows what it would have cost| god knows what it would have cost with the metre running all that time. ,, , ., ., ., , time. she is a gorgeous wee thing. good morning- _ time. she is a gorgeous wee thing. good morning. if— time. she is a gorgeous wee thing. good morning. if you _ time. she is a gorgeous wee thing. good morning. if you are _ time. she is a gorgeous wee thing. good morning. if you are it - time. she is a gorgeous wee thing. good morning. if you are itjust - good morning. if you are itjust stepping — good morning. if you are itjust stepping out it is not particularly cold _ stepping out it is not particularly cold to — stepping out it is not particularly cold. to give you an idea of the temperatures we are looking at... widely— temperatures we are looking at... widely from the north to south we're looking _ widely from the north to south we're looking at— widely from the north to south we're looking at 15 or 16 degrees. locally there _ looking at 15 or 16 degrees. locally there are _ looking at 15 or 16 degrees. locally there are some variations. also some low cloud _ there are some variations. also some low cloud around, some of mist which will lift. _ low cloud around, some of mist which will lift. and _ low cloud around, some of mist which will lift, and across scotland, northern _ will lift, and across scotland, northern england and northern ireland — northern england and northern ireland there are a few showers. to the east _ ireland there are a few showers. to the east of— ireland there are a few showers. to the east of the pennines it is dry,

than 200 were injured. six innocent men — known as the birmingham six — were released in 1991 when their convictions for the bombings were quashed — they'd served 16 years in prison. over the years, west midlands police has reviewed any new evidence to come forward in the case — the latest coming to light last year. however, prosecutors say they cannot bring charges despite a "thorough and careful" review of the new evidence. we'rejoined now byjulie hambleton, whose sister maxine died in the tragedy. good morning. thank you for talking to us. first of all, i know this has dominated your life for decades. i am curious to know your reaction to this update from the cps. goad this update from the cps. good morninu. this update from the cps. good morning. well, _ this update from the cps. good morning. well, we _ this update from the cps. good morning. well, we have - this update from the cps. (sooc morning. well, we have become accustomed to being let down! it is just another... sad occasion of

being treated with contempt and being treated with contempt and being ignored. buti being treated with contempt and being ignored. but i would like to say, on behalf of our families, being ignored. but i would like to say, on behalf of ourfamilies, and this is very important, that we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the mummys and daddies and the families of the baby is taken at the hands of lucy letby, who yesterday was quite rightly given full life tariffs. this is in total contrast to this government pushing to give the killers of our loved ones and amnesty. there were 21 souls taken, murdered in cold blood, that also left 200 people with life changing injuries. how is it possible for any government in any democratic westernised society to differentiate between one murder and another?! murder is murder is murder! for us, forall of and another?! murder is murder is

murder! for us, for all of our families and all families across northern ireland who are together in opposing this bill, the northern ireland troubles legacy and reconciliation bill, to us it is tantamount to moral, ethical and legal ineptitude. this tantamount to moral, ethical and legal ineptitude.— legal ineptitude. this is the bill that the government _ legal ineptitude. this is the bill that the government says - legal ineptitude. this is the bill that the government says it - legal ineptitude. this is the bill that the government says it is i that the government says it is absolutely committed to but you are saying it is what she regarded as being an amnesty. but it is going to happen, by the looks of things, in which case, what do you want to happen now?— which case, what do you want to happen now? since 2014 we have actually been _ happen now? since 2014 we have actually been pushing _ happen now? since 2014 we have actually been pushing for- happen now? since 2014 we have actually been pushing for a - actually been pushing for a statutory public inquiry, which would give us access to documentation that we haven't been given access to before, it will give us control over terms of reference and so on and so forth. let's put this into perspective. you have

grenfell, the manchester arena bombing, hillsborough, and many more, god bless them all. we stand shoulder to shoulder with them. but where is our public inquiry? unfortunately, if you study all of these against the pub bombings in 1974, you have in essence what is known and has become known as political policing and political justice. because anything to do with northern ireland or ow it scenario which is called the troubles, and anything to do with the politics thereof, with policing and justice, itjust thereof, with policing and justice, it just seems to thereof, with policing and justice, itjust seems to us to be completely off—limits to be investigated. especially anything to do with republican violence, and our case could not be more poignant by more to the point, more profoundly, than

with this amnesty bill, because what they are doing... and what we cannot understand, and this is thousands of families, is white mainstream media are not covering this. why aren't the bbc, who are there to educate and inform, why are you not discussing these atrocious, obscene piece of legislation that this government are trying to push through?! you know, we do struggle but we strive to try and maintain our belief in the justice system, and that is why we are currently in the process of waiting to have a meeting with thejustice minister and the home office to discuss our serious concerns we have surrounding the murder of our loved ones, but also waiting for our decision, for us, too, to have the same equality that others have had, to have a statutory inquiry. you cannot give to one and not to another. because what they are creating is a hierarchy of victims. we can't call

ourselves a democracy if we have a hierarchy of victims. you ourselves a democracy if we have a hierarchy of victims.— hierarchy of victims. you are still aurievin hierarchy of victims. you are still grieving your _ hierarchy of victims. you are still grieving your sister, _ hierarchy of victims. you are still grieving your sister, maxine, - hierarchy of victims. you are still| grieving your sister, maxine, who was killed, all those otherfamilies are still grieving their loved ones all these years on from 1974. you say you will meet with a minister soon. do you get any indication from government that that public inquiry you are calling for is going to happen? do you feel you are making any progress?— any progress? well, yes, actually. but we any progress? well, yes, actually. itut we had — any progress? well, yes, actually. itut we had a _ any progress? well, yes, actually. but we had a meeting _ any progress? well, yes, actually. but we had a meeting with - any progress? well, yes, actually. but we had a meeting with priti i but we had a meeting with priti patel when she was home secretary and out of all the home secretary is i have to say that she was the most... forward—thinking. and she was moved, you could tell she was moved and she did keep our promises while she was in office, up to the point that she could —— she kept her

promises. we have not heard from this home secretary but we are awaiting at this meeting to discuss having a statutory public inquiry. you see, the northern ireland troubles (legacy and reconciliation) bill, otherwise known as the amnesty bill, according to this government, is a means to try and stop any prosecutions against soldiers. nothing could be furtherfrom prosecutions against soldiers. nothing could be further from the truth. this is their end game. what they are trying to do is to literally bury the security services' dirty, toxic past of collusion and complicity. and that is all... it has nothing to do with the soldiers. this is all to do with the soldiers. this is all to do with the complicity and the collusion that took place during the troubles, and in the process of them trying to implement this horrendous bill, is they are going to literally wipe away, literally wipe away, any

chance ofjustice that any away, literally wipe away, any chance of justice that any family with anything to do with the northern ireland troubles... what i need a point of perspective for you here, is that anyone who was killed or injured aren't what is known as the mainland in england never came under the good friday agreement. when tony blair in his hubris decided to try to help bring about the gfa, the good friday agreement, he didn't even give a thought, not one thought for those killed and injured on english soil. but with this bill, the government havejust decided to wrap us all into the same bubble and literally, not only bury our dead, but rebury them and hopefully put us, bury us next to our dead, as well, as we dare raise our dead, as well, as we dare raise our heads above the parapet to ask questions. we had a meeting with brandon lewis, i think it was last

year, when he was northern ireland secretary of state, and he wrote a piece in the telegraph discussing how the paramilitaries, the terrorists never kept records, but the british state kept excellent records and he was trying to imply that this was the best way forward, for us to move on. such hubris, such arrogance. it isjust for us to move on. such hubris, such arrogance. it is just contemptible that they are literally trying to wipe away every chance ofjustice. once this law becomes legislated, no family will be able to bring a civil case or any criminal case ever! so the murderers will walk free! julie... ~ ., ~ the murderers will walk free! julie... . . ~ ., the murderers will walk free! julie... . ~ ., , , julie... what kind of society is it when we accept _ julie... what kind of society is it when we accept that? _ julie... what kind of society is it when we accept that? julie i when we accept that? julie hambleton, _ when we accept that? julie hambleton, thank - when we accept that? julie hambleton, thank you i when we accept that? julie hambleton, thank you so l when we accept that? julie hambleton, thank you so much talking to us on bbc breakfast. julie hambleton, founder ofjustice for hambleton, founder of justice for the hambleton, founder ofjustice for the 21. ligament has said, we will continue to listen to the families of victims and their representatives

and the security minister intends to meet with them soon. for the past few years, scotland has had the highest rate of drugs—related deaths in europe, and later this morning we'll find out whether that's still the case when the latest figures are published. to tackle the crisis, the scottish government is proposing decriminalising personal drug use — a move the uk government, which controls drug laws, is opposed to. our scotland editorjames cook has been to lisbon in portugal to find out whether a similar policy, introduced there in 2001, has been working. portugal has come a long way in a short time. half a century ago, this country was a closed dictatorship. nowadays, it's an open and vibrant democracy. this is the public face of portugal — a thriving tourist destination in the sun. but i've spent a few days here now, and if you look closely, there is another side

to this country. as it opened up in the '70s, heroin flooded in, and users began to die. that prompted the left—wing government to try something radical. in 2001, it stopped sending drug addicts to prison, prioritising treatment instead. that means that today, george can use heroin here under medical supervision. what drugs do you use? i use heroin, cocaine, hashish. and is it good for you to come here? does it make your life better? yes, yes. i'm clean — every day i take my shower. i look different. the facility is one of just two official drug—consumption rooms in portugal. it's about 200 different people... roberta is a psychologist who helps to run it. we had the possibility to create many different services to help

people who use drugs. they can take showers, they can do laundry, they can be tested for infectious disease — like hepatitis b and c, hiv — and then they can be linked to health—care service. we have psychosocial support, too. and that's crucial, says the doctor who designed the policy two decades ago. the criminalisation by itself gives you nothing, but i think it's important to provide treatment to all those in need of it. harm—reduction policies, as well. what lessons can scotland learn from your experience in portugal? well, i believe that it is very important to develop the health responses to drug users — treatment, harm—reduction responses — and that decriminalisation is a very helpful tool to deal with it.

would it save lives in scotland? i believe so. i believe it would. but portugal's liberal approach only goes so far. possession for personal use may be tolerated, but supplying narcotics is not. the national police force has not retreated from the so—called war on drugs. is drug trafficking a big problem here? yes, this is a big problem and a big concern for us, because we know that the traffic dealers are very well organised. so are you winning? well, it's not a question of winning or losing, because i think it's an international problem and no—one wins this fight. so it's a daily fight that you do every day, trying to do your best. more than 20 years after portugal decriminalised drug use, no—one says it's a magic bullet — the problem is complex, every country is different.

but the fact remains — far fewer drug users are dying here than are dying in scotland. james cook, bbc news, lisbon. could this be the start of a prostate screening programme? an mr! scanner that picks up cases, as opposed to a blood test. it's the most common cancer among middle aged men. we'll have a special report in an hourfrom now. in the couple of weeks ago tv presenter nick owen was sat here talking about his hopes for screening programme. more on that later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. two women from london have been charged with stealing three lambs from the king's sandringham estate. 34 year—old rose patterson

of homerton high street, 23—year—old rosa sharkey of the mayville estate in dalston and another woman have been charged with theft and animal welfare offences. the protest group "animal rising" previously claimed to be behind the theft. the women will appear in court next month. a london think tank has found that chief executives of the country's biggest companies saw their pay rise by on average over 15% last year while most workers had their wages squeezed. london's "high pay centre" says the median pay of ftse100 bosses was £3.9 million, up from 3.3 million the year before. it said their average earnings were nearly 120 times more than a typical worker. parking fines could be going up because london councils are concerned the current fines aren't acting as a deterrant. they say inflation has reduced the value of penalty charges. the current fine on borough roads is £130. the motoring group the rac says

there "isn't a scrap of evidence" to show that increasing fines would stop contraventions, which were often "innocent mistakes". in exactly one week's time, the ultra low emission zone will be expanded to cover all london boroughs. it means anyone driving a noncompliant car in london will have to pay £12.50 a day to do so. if you have something to say about it to the people behind it listen to this. hi, i'm eddie nestor. and this morning from ten tfl are coming on to answer your questions on ulez. get calling now. 0800 7312000. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the central line due now onto the weather with kate. good morning. similar to yesterday morning, there is a little bit of cloud first thing this morning but it will break

up and we'll see some decent spells of sunshine. high pressure is still in charge so it's a settled day, plenty of sunny spells, a little bit more cloud perhaps bubbling up into the afternoon but temperatures reaching 25 celsius. overnight tonight, dry and clear to start with at least but we will see more patchy cloud edging in as we head through to dawn tomorrow morning. staying dry, minimum 12 or 13 celsius. tomorrow morning, that patchy cloud will break up. high pressure stilljust about hanging on so we have got another fine and largely dry day, perhaps a little more cloud the further north you go, hanging on to the sunshine further south on wednesday. temperatures tomorrow 26 celsius so again, another warm day. now, thursday, you start to see a frontjust edging south. that's going to bring bit more cloud, and the chance perhaps of a shower but it also introduces a north—westerly breeze and flow for friday so temperatures getting cooler by the weekend. that's it, back in half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. if you've been into a supermarket lately you might have noticed shoppers are being encouraged to by—pass the regular tills and use self—service to scan their own groceries. it can be mapped can be maddening can't it? jo makel has been chatting to shoppers at morrisons in beverley, which now has more self—scan tills than cashiers on duty. newsreel: a transatlantic phenomenon has at last i made its mark in british shops. the self—service store. self service in the supermarket first appeared in the 19505,

but today we don't just fill our own baskets — we can do the cashier's job, too. beeping. self—service tills are increasing. so, too, are the number asking just for bank—card payments. so do you love them? surprising item on the bagging scale. or hate them? hate them. they always go wrong with me. it takes longer to do self—service and they've still got to have i someone come...when it goes wrong. i've just used it now. you actually quite like using them? yeah. the only thing that bothers me is...it�*s putting people out ofjobs. i hate them, absolutely hate them. and i make a point of, when i have to use them, asking a member of staff to help me. they'd all just shopped in morrisons in beverley, which has recently swapped in more self—service tills. so i've just been into morrisons to buy a few things,

and here's the situation that i found. there were ten potential tills that could be manned, but actually only four of them were staffed. that compared with 16 self—service points — eight for trolleys and eight for baskets. there are now calls for morrisons to swap them back. comments on social media say... "i will not use the self—service tills — i want a face—to—face shopping trip." another said this was a pitiful attempt to get rid of cash. but one person commented...

likely outcome to this situation? no, i don't think it was. if you would have asked me a month ago, i would have asked me a month ago, i would have asked me a month ago, i would have said that manchester united were leaning towards bringing mason greenwood back and playing for the club again. i think there was a public backlash towards the end of last week, and manchester united have decided to make this decision. the club were adamant that they have never made another decision, but i think that what happened towards the end of last week has definitely affected things.— end of last week has definitely affected things. end of last week has definitely affected thins. . ., ,., ., affected things. worth pointing out how divisive _ affected things. worth pointing out how divisive this _ affected things. worth pointing out how divisive this has _ affected things. worth pointing out how divisive this has been, - affected things. worth pointing out how divisive this has been, we i affected things. worth pointing out how divisive this has been, we sawj how divisive this has been, we saw protests outside the old trafford ahead match of the season. how do you feel this has been handled by the club? it you feel this has been handled by the club? , , ., ., the club? it is divisive and emotive as ou the club? it is divisive and emotive as you said. _ the club? it is divisive and emotive as you said, there _ the club? it is divisive and emotive as you said, there are _ the club? it is divisive and emotive as you said, there are lots - the club? it is divisive and emotive as you said, there are lots of- as you said, there are lots of entrenched opinions here and it's very sad. i don't think there are any winners here. i think the club

would be damned if they do and damned if they don't. i think there would have been a stronger reaction if he would have been allowed back, we did a poll on our site last week and 75% of people, mainly match going manchester united fans, said they would not like to see mason greenwood return. ithink they would not like to see mason greenwood return. i think that is a clear majority. i stood outside old trafford last week before the first home game for two or three hours and i spoke to a lot of people and people feel extremely strongly about this. i think it's difficult for the club as well, i don't know if there's any way of doing this in an ideal way. there's any way of doing this in an idealway. it there's any way of doing this in an ideal way. it did drag on too long, but i don't know how long an internal investigation should take. it certainly took a long time since the club started it in february of this year. the club started it in february of this ear. �* ., the club started it in february of this ear. �* . ., the club started it in february of this ear. �* . . ., this year. and a danger if it had dra: red this year. and a danger if it had dragged on _ this year. and a danger if it had dragged on any _ this year. and a danger if it had dragged on any longer, - this year. and a danger if it had dragged on any longer, again, i this year. and a danger if it had i dragged on any longer, again, nobody would have fared too well. mat at would have fared too well. not at all and it was _

at the world athletics championships in hungary. she only managed to qualify for the final by a thousandth of a second and then went on to finish eighth in a really strong field. america's sha'carri richardson at the bottom of your screen won gold in a championship record time. jamaicans shericka jackson and five time champion shelly—ann fraser—pryce finished second and third. today has not been a fab day for me i have to say, i'm very disappointed because i feel like i'm in an amazing place. i can run so it is what it is, finished the race, is what it is. at the end of the day it's a world final. so the time to do it is now. and, yeah, disappointed but, yeah. she will have another go in the 200 metres, as wheels are no hues, i will be speaking tojess ennis hill —— as well as arnel hughes. we will be talking about what we can expect from the rest of the championships. you are out for a run or a walk,

carol can tell us about the weather. good morning. for some of us it is like this picture, this was taken early in gloucestershire. some of us starting with sunshine but also some showers, we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers, a lot in the northern half of the country, and the enormous conditions will be in the south, it cools down towards the end of the week. high pressure dominating the weather in the south, things fairly settled. pollen levels also high across wales and much of england. high pressure to the north, whether —— low pressure to the north, a weather front thinking south. we start with some showers in the northern half of the country, northern ireland and northern england, a few in wales and one or two in the south—west. not all of us

will catch the showers, joyous conditions in southern england. we will see the lion's share of the sunshine here and wherever you are it will be breezy. temperatures ranging from 16 in the north to 25 as we push down towards the south. heading on through the evening and overnight, a lot of the shells will tend to fade but then we have got a week whether front coming in from the south—west bringing some rain across wales. as far east as the midlands by the end of the night. the rest of us, clear skies and showers lingering across western scotland. tomorrow, we have a week when the front bringing showery outbreaks of rain across —— week weather front, outbreaks of rain across —— week weatherfront, it outbreaks of rain across —— week weather front, it will weaken during the day. high pressure to the south. this band of rain really fades and we are left with some cloud, even that will break. tomorrow is also going to be a mixture of sunny spells and showers, the joyous

isobars, a north—easterly component of our weather so it will cool down this weekend. the orange replaced by yellow on our shores and in the near continent where it has been pretty hot as well. it will cool down and we will have that dizzy cocktail of sunshine and showers. that's cocktail again, thank you! did someone say cocktail, let's do it! it's the robot that captured the hearts of film fans all over and nowjohnny 5, from the 1986 film 'short circuit�* has a new creator. ryan howard has spent six years and £20,000 building a fully functioning replica of the bot, and even takes it down to the pub, as he's been telling our reporter chris waring. oh, the reaction is absolutely phenomenal. we've had people crying in front of him. we've had people who are just tearing up as he goes by doing that.

it took six years to build johnny 5. i did as much as i could myself, so we didn't have to pay other people to do it. we've missed many family holidays making johnny 5, i can tell you that. johnny! to my knowledge, this is the only one that's fully working at this moment. i'm very proud of it. it's an incredibly difficult thing to do. if anything, the fact it was so difficult, it makes me even more happy that he exists and he lives with me. chris waring, bbc news. the creator of the johnny 5 replica, ryan howard and his wife, stacyjoin us now. and of course with them, johnny 5, good morning, johnny! how is looking, all right? 25! good morning, johnny! how is looking, all right?— good morning, johnny! how is looking, all right? 25! -- johnny 5! welcome. — looking, all right? 25! -- johnny 5! welcome. all _ looking, all right? 25! -- johnny 5! welcome, all of _ looking, all right? 25! -- johnny 5! welcome, all of you! _ looking, all right? 25! -- johnny 5! welcome, all of you! this - looking, all right? 25! -- johnny 5! welcome, all of you! this has - looking, all right? 25! -- johnny 5! i welcome, all of you! this has become a massive lockdown project for you?

the amount of time young people spend in pe and exercise at school has dropped by 12% since the london olympics. the youth sport trust says it "should be a matter of immediate national concern" — while a children's charity believes it's a "further threat to the wellbeing of young people". the government says it's boosted funding for pe. parking fines could be going up because london councils are concerned the current fines aren't acting as a deterrent. they say inflation has reduced the value of penalty charges. the current fine on borough roads is £130. the motoring group the rac says there "isn't a scrap of evidence" to show that increasing fines would stop contraventions. let's take a look at the tubes now. check before you travel i think is

would stand with them for as long as it took, and pledged to respect the traditions of local people as they rebuild their lives, homes and businesses. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. almost two weeks after wildfires swept through this hawaiian island, a scene of utter devastation to greet the president. after a helicopter tour of the burnt—out areas, mr biden and the first lady were introduced to some of the victims, and saw for themselves what's left of the old city of lahaina. the president has been criticised for his and the federal government's response to the disaster — with some local people saying it had been inadequate and uncoordinated. but mr biden appeared to be visibly moved by the scale of the tragedy, and promised long—term support for the island. we're focused on what's next. that's rebuilding the long term, rebuilding for the long term, and doing it together to help get us

back on our feet, to rebuild the way we want to rebuild — by making sure your voices are heard. by respecting your traditions. by understanding the deep history and meaning of this sacred ground and establishing your community — not to change it, its character, but to re—establish it. the president was speaking near a historic banyan tree, which was damaged but survived the fires. today it's burned, but it's still standing. the tree survived for a reason. i believe it's a powerful — a very powerful symbol of what we can and will do to get through this crisis. and for this, for as long as it takes, we're going to be with you — the whole country will be with you. this was a visit for hugs, empathy, and a promise not to forget. but for this island, there's a long road to recovery ahead. the hawaiian authorities have said it could be months, even years before the remains of all the victims are identified, and 850 people are still unaccounted for.

peter bowes, bbc news. that is just one of several environmental stories we have for you this morning. here isjon. tens of thousands of people have had to flee their homes in canada as wildfires continue to ravage western regions of the country. canada's prime minister, justin trudeau, has labelled the scenes there "apocalyptic", and while officials hope cooler weather may help them as they battle to contain the blazes, the threat from the fires remains high. graham satchell reports. the terrifying wildfires rampaging across canada have been burning for some time now. authorities say they're trying to fight more than 1,000 separate blazes covering more than 1a million hectares — an area roughly the size of greece. oh, my god. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, has called the crisis in his country scary and heartbreaking. canadians from coast to coast

to coast are watching in horror the images of apocalyptic devastation and fires going on in communities that so many of us know and so many of us have friends. in some parts of canada, whole towns have been told to evacuate. almost 20,000 people have left the city of yellowknife, the capital of canada's northwest territories. angela canning has ended up hundreds of miles away in fort providence, where evacuees are being given food and other essentials. i'm just, you know, taking my time. iwas... i was completely white knuckle the whole time. i was so thankful that when i got here...| didn't even know where i was going to go. aerial footage shows the scale of destruction in the town of enterprise. this small community, home to 120 people, has been completely destroyed. scientists say human—caused global warming is exacerbating natural hazards, making them both more frequent and more deadly. in the short term, the authorities

here say there is rain forecast for later today, which should help. but tens of thousands of canadians who've been evacuated are now waiting to learn if they will have a home to go back to. graham satchell, bbc news. another country battling wildfires is spain. on a visit to the island of tenerife, the prime minister pedro sanchez declared the areas affected as disaster zones. more than 12,000 people have had to flee their homes, in what has become the canary islands' biggest—ever wildfire. cooler temperatures and weaker overnight winds have helped firefighters bring the blazes under control. meanwhile in the us, flooding has been causing mayhem. tropical storm hilary is moving northeast across the us state of nevada bringing record rainfall, strong winds and flash flooding. flood warnings are in place there —

as well as in california, where the storm cut off the desert city of palm springs. donald trump says he'll hand himself in to the authorities in the us state of georgia, where he's been charged with racketeering and election interference. the former president denies wrongdoing. he'll be heading to atlanta, rather than attending a debate of republican presidential hopefuls tomorrow in the state of wisconsin. thailand's former prime minister, thaksin shinawatra, has returned home after fifteen years in exile. he was ousted in a coup in 2006 and spent time away from the country to avoid legal charges. his arrival in bangkok comes as his political party prepares to form a new government today. an insect feared extinct in britain is set to make a comeback, thanks to pioneering conservation work. a freshwater fly, known as scarce yellow sally, was thought to have died out in the 19905 but scientists

recently discovered a small number in north wales. it has now been bred in captivity at chester zoo. the bosses of britain's biggest companies saw their pay surge last year. this comes as many staff see their pay rises struggling to keep up with the rate of inflation. ben has the latest. good morning. bosses at some of the uk's largest companies have seen a big jump in their salaries at a time when many employees saw their pay packets outstripped by inflation. chief executive officers forfirms on the ftse100 — the index of the uk's largest publicly listed companies — saw their pay surge by 16% last year. it went up on average from £3.38 million in 2021 to £3.91 million in 2022 on average. that's an average pay rise of around £500,000. it means they currently earn 118 times what the median uk full—time worker earns.

bosses' average pay had dropped during 2020 as companies were hit by the pandemic — but what we're seeing now is a continued upward trend. thank you. can you spot what's odd about the newest baby giraffe that's recently been born at a zoo in tennessee in the us? different, we will say. different. look at that little beauty. this adorable calf was born onjuly 31st and, as you can tell, she hasn't got any spots. she's yet to be named, and experts at bright's zoo believe she is the only spotless giraffe alive on the planet. it is definitely a giraffe, isn't it? it must be. the video shows her playing with her mum, and despite her unusual look, zoo staff say she's "thriving". it is definitely a giraffe. it is

carol, — in the north to 25 in the south. carol, thank you. she is britain's most prolific child serial killer — now lucy letby will spend the rest of her life behind bars after being handed multiple whole—life orders by a judge. letby, who used her role as a nurse at the countess of chester to target children, was found guilty of the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six other children. she was acquitted of two counts of attempted murder and the jury in her case were unable to decide on six more. yesterday, the 33—year—old refused to come to court for her sentencing hearing as families of the children she targeted described the pain she had caused. the mother of one little girl murdered by her said... another, describing the devastation of losing her son, said...

some of the children who survived letby�*s attacks have been left severely disabled. although letby wasn't in court, thejudge in her case proceeded as if she were there — and addressed these words to her. because the seriousness of your offences is exceptionally high, i direct that the early release provisions do not apply. the order of the court, therefore, is whole life order on each and every offence, and you will spend the rest offence, and you will spend the rest of your life in prison.

thoughts to the families.— a ten—minute mri scan could be used to screen men for prostate cancer, according to a new study. the scans proved far more accurate at diagnosing cancer than blood tests which are widely used to check for the disease. it's the most common male cancer in the uk — and kills 12,000 men across the country every year. here's our medical editor fergus walsh. paul rothwell�*s prostate cancer was caught early and successfully treated. it was diagnosed here at london's university college hospital when he took part in a trial using mri scans. the 62—year—old's cancer would have been missed if he'd only had the standard psa blood test, which came back as normal. if ijust had the blood test, i would be carrying on life as normal, walking around unaware that there was some sort of ticking time bomb inside me of a cancer slowly growing. so by the time i then did find out, presumably it would have been much harder to treat, and much more dangerous to me.

so you feel fortunate? yeah, very fortunate. i'm, you know, thrilled that i was diagnosed so early. we don't see any sign of cancer recurrence there... paul was among 300 men aged 50 to 75 who took part in the trial led by university college london. of the 25 men whose aggressive cancers were picked up via mri, over half — like paul — had negative blood tests. we think these are really significant results. what we see is that a short ten—minute mri scan used as a screening test can selectively pick up significant cancers in a much more effective way than the psa blood test alone. that'll help us to diagnose the important cancers early, when they're curable. the prostate is a walnut—sized gland which sits below the bladder. it's the uk's most common male cancer, with 52,000 new diagnoses every year.

this is what men over 50 can request from their doctor — a blood test for the protein psa. high levels can indicate cancer, so it's a useful test, but unreliable as it's not always accurate. thank you. black men have a one—in—four risk of getting prostate cancer — double that of white men — but are less likely to come forward for testing. after he developed prostate cancer, errol mckellar started offering men discounts on their mot if they got themselves checked out. and he now runs a charity to raise awareness of the disease. when prostate cancer turns up at your front door, it doesn't care, right, whether you're black, whether you're white. it doesn't care about your wealth. it doesn't care about you. what it will do if you ignore it, it will kill you.

ok, paul. nice and still. larger trials will be needed to confirm the value of mri scans before a national screening programme for prostate cancer could be set up — which may take up to a decade. fergus walsh, bbc news. that could potentially affect an awful lot of people, families, and we have nick owen, tv presenter, right here in the studio only a few weeks ago calling for better screening in the future —— we had nick owen in the studio. coming up before the end of the programme... we want to hear your thoughts on self—scan tills and cashiers at the supermarket. on self—scan tills and cashiers it on self—scan tills and cashiers has got you all talkir morning. do you like them or loathe them? maybe you don't want to chat to anyone, you just want to self scan and go. it anyone, you 'ust want to self scan and no. , , anyone, you 'ust want to self scan anduo. , , , ., and go. it sounds easy but it is not necessarily — and go. it sounds easy but it is not necessarily that _ and go. it sounds easy but it is not necessarily that straightforward. . you can send us a message on whatsapp — the number

talk to us on social media. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. two women from london have been charged with stealing three lambs from the king's sandringham estate. 34 year—old rose patterson of homerton high street, 23—year—old rosa sharkey of the mayville estate in dalston and another woman have been charged with theft and animal welfare offences. the protest group "animal rising" previously claimed to be behind the theft. the women will appear in court next month. a london think tank has found that chief executives of the country's biggest companies saw their pay rise by on average over 15% last year while most workers had their wages squeezed. london's "high pay centre" says the median pay of ftse 100 bosses was £3.9 million, up from 3.3 million the year before. it said their average earnings were nearly 120 times more than a typical worker.

parking fines could be going up because london councils are concerned the current fines aren't acting as a deterrant. they say inflation has reduced the value of penalty charges. the current fine on borough roads is £130. the motoring group the rac says there "isn't a scrap of evidence" to show that increasing fines would stop contraventions, which were often "innocent mistakes". in exactly one week's time, the ultra low emission zone will be expanded to cover all london boroughs. it means anyone driving a noncompliant car in london will have to pay £12.50 a day to do so. if you have something to say about it to the people behind it, listen to this. hi, i'm eddie nestor. and this morning from ten tfl are coming on to answer your questions on ulez. get calling now. 0800 7312000.

let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the central, hammersmith and city — and circle lines. district line has severe delays. and there's a part closure on the dlr and overground until friday. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. similar to yesterday morning, there is a little bit of cloud first thing this morning but it will break up and we'll see some decent spells of sunshine. high pressure is still in charge so it's a settled day, plenty of sunny spells, a little bit more cloud perhaps bubbling up into the afternoon but temperatures reaching 25 celsius. overnight tonight, dry and clear to start with at least but we will see more patchy cloud edging in as we head through to dawn tomorrow morning. staying dry, minimum 12 or 13 celsius. tomorrow morning, that patchy cloud will break up. high pressure stilljust about hanging on so we have got

another fine and largely dry day, perhaps a little more cloud the further north you go, hanging on to the sunshine further south on wednesday. temperatures tomorrow 26 celsius so again, another warm day. now, thursday, you start to see a frontjust edging south. that's going to bring bit more cloud, and the chance perhaps of a shower but it also introduces a north—westerly breeze and flow for friday so temperatures getting cooler by the weekend. that's it, back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it's a traveller's worst nightmare. getting off the plane and waiting anxiously until you realise your baggage just isn't arriving. yes, lost luggage can really put a dampener on your holiday and the situation has been the worst

it's ever been globally. ben has more. we were talking about this, how long could you last with just what is in your hand luggage, how many days did your hand luggage, how many days did you say? i your hand luggage, how many days did ou sa ? �* _ your hand luggage, how many days did ousa? �* . . you say? i didn't say i could manage on land -- — you say? i didn't say i could manage on land -- hand _ you say? i didn't say i could manage on land -- hand luggage, _ you say? i didn't say i could manage on land -- hand luggage, i - you say? i didn't say i could manage on land -- hand luggage, i was - you say? i didn't say i could manage| on land -- hand luggage, i was said, on land —— hand luggage, i was said, how long could you last if you just had hand luggage? i can do for days if i planned, but if ijust had my bag, an hour. ifi planned, but ifi 'ust had my bag. an hounh ifi planned, but ifi 'ust had my bag. an hour._ ifi planned, but ifi 'ust had my bag, an hour. poor denise, got in touch, bag, an hour. poor denise, got in touch. she _ bag, an hour. poor denise, got in touch, she ended _ bag, an hour. poor denise, got in touch, she ended up— bag, an hour. poor denise, got in touch, she ended up in _ bag, an hour. poor denise, got in touch, she ended up in australia, j touch, she ended up in australia, she didn't get her back for 30 days, coping withjust a she didn't get her back for 30 days, coping with just a few items you put in her hand luggage to last until the bags arrived. i in her hand luggage to last until the bags arrived.— in her hand luggage to last until the bags arrived. i guarantee she went shopping- _ the bags arrived. i guarantee she went shopping. i'm _ the bags arrived. i guarantee she went shopping. i'm pretty - the bags arrived. i guarantee she went shopping. i'm pretty sure i the bags arrived. i guarantee she i went shopping. i'm pretty sure she would have — went shopping. i'm pretty sure she would have done. _ went shopping. i'm pretty sure she would have done. it's _ went shopping. i'm pretty sure she would have done. it's a _ went shopping. i'm pretty sure she would have done. it's a real- would have done. it's a real problem. what a frustrating scenario indeed. you get to your sunny destination only to find out your swimsuit and shorts didn't arrive with you. last year saw a peak in baggage mishandling rates. a staggering 26 million luggage items suffered delays, losses, or damage in 2022 despite a drop of more than billion passengers compared with pre—pandemic levels.

that's the highest number of incidents recorded in the last decade. it works out at nearly eight lost bags per 1000 passengers globally. and that's largely down to the shortage of ground handling staff at a time when travel restrictions were lifted and international travel resumed. jennifer meierhans has been speaking to one passenger affected by this. i didn't really feel comfortable having photos taken with me in the same outfit all the time. chloe flew to italy for her friend's wedding, but her luggage got lost on the way. i spent the first couple of hours, which you would normally think, "oh, i'll go and see the sights," running around shops, trying to find pharmacies to get like replacement toothpaste, toiletries. a lot of stress i didn't particularly want on kind of my first holiday that i've had in quite a few years. and that was the experience of witnessing my friend get married, which unfortunately i'll never be able to to relive because obviously that's a once

in a lifetime opportunity. chloe's experience is thankfully rare, but last year saw the worst lost baggage rates globally in a decade. we have seen a 75% increase year on year and that's as a result of the post—pandemic. we've seen staff shortages and we've seen a surge in passenger traffic. so people are really anxious about travelling with baggage and we've seen that with the baggage mountains. i think what we want to do is put confidence back into passengers to travel with bags. airlines are now using al to help reunite holiday—makers with their lost luggage. there's an algorithm that basically works out what's the next best available flight, and that bag is then sent directly on that flight without any human intervention. there are a few things you can do to reduce the chance of your luggage going missing. make sure you've got your name and address on the inside and outside of your bag. so if it does go missing, the airline knows where to send it. make your bag stand out, add colourful straps or stickers so someone at the airport doesn't

pick up your bag instead of theirs. you can add a gps tracker to follow your luggage's journey. keep all of your valuables in your hand luggage. just for your peace of mind they'll be with you at all times. and always check your insurance before you fly so if anything does go missing, you're covered. easyjet has apologised to chloe and said it will keep looking for her bag for 45 days before it is declared lost. that means, you know, i'm going almost two, three months without getting any kind of compensation for my bag and there's items in there like straighteners, hairdryer, things that i need on kind of a daily, weekly basis that i've had to buy again. so that's kind of more money that i'm kind of out of pocket. they were dressy enough that i could use for a barbecue. for now all chloe can do is wait and hope her bag is found. jennifer meierhans, bbc news. but it's not all chaos. new data seen by the bbc indicates things have started to improve in the first six months of this year. the international air transport

association says this year 4.4 billion people are expected to fly, that's a similar figure to pre pandemic levels. fortunately, as passenger numbers continue to grow the number of lost bags is falling, from 5.8 million in 2019 to 5.7 million in 2023. better technology should help bring that down further. to make a claim if your luggage is lost, stolen or damaged you must contact the airline in writing within seven days. most airlines will reimburse you for essentials like toiletries and underwear you need to buy when your bag is delayed but only if you keep the receipts. to claim for what was inside your case you will need to prove the value. and if you've travelled on connecting flights, you can claim from any of the airlines but it's usually the final airline that would handle the claim. more information and advice is available on the bbc news website. lots of you have been in touch about this, pamela from huddersfield says, after losing her baggage on a flight

to munich she now always keeps the essentials in hand luggage, things like medicine, contact lens solution and pare products, as well as spare clothes. she puts her address on a label outside and inside the suitcase. robin points out, putting your home address on the case could be a security risk because anyone can then see your home is empty and lesley agrees saying she used to deal with lost luggage for british airways and said, only put your name, flight number and airports on the outside. one of the most extreme examples, jeff said they flew to norway on a fishing trip, the luggage containing the fishing items including the frozen bait turned up a week later by which point the case and the contents were completely ruined. ithink and the contents were completely ruined. i think you have all of our sympathies this morning. plenty of advice on the bbc news website if you are in that unfortunate situation. you are in that unfortunate situation-— you are in that unfortunate situation. ., ,, ., . . , situation. you know what the answer is, situation. you know what the answer is. hand luggage _ situation. you know what the answer is, hand luggage only _ situation. you know what the answer is, hand luggage only all— situation. you know what the answer is, hand luggage only all the - situation. you know what the answer is, hand luggage only all the way. i is, hand luggage only all the way. if you can. ihla is, hand luggage only all the way. if you can-— if you can. no flies on jeff, well, uuite a if you can. no flies on jeff, well, quite a lot _

but will not return to training with united and is set to be sold or loaned to another club for the remainder of his contract, which runs until 2025. united of course could still benefit financially from his sale. manchester united don't think he's going to play for the club again but he is a contracted player. and manchester united could receive financial benefits from that. again, it's very difficult. but i think manchester united have made the decision which is the sensible decision, i don't think anybody is celebrating the decision, and i think now every party is trying to move on. police are investigating racist comments directed towards everton's midfielder amadou onana. it came following the club's 4—0 defeat to aston villa on sunday which left them bottom of the premier league. everton say they're conducting an investigation, saying "any such abuse is vile and will not be tolerated."

wales head coach warren gatland admits he's trying something new as he announced his 33—man squad for the upcoming world cup in france. gatland has chosenjac morgan and dewi lake as co—captains for the tournament rather than a stand alone skipper. wales open their campaign against fiji in bordeaux on 10th september. it's an important day for owen farrell and billy vunipola, they'll discover if they can play at the world cup. both face disciplinary panels over their recent red cards. for farrell, its the second time in a week he's been through it, after world rugby appealed the decision to overturn the red card he received against wales at twickenham. the pair risk bans and could miss the start of the world cup with england's preparations in disarray. not long to go until that tournament gets under way. it doesn't seem five minutes since our next guest was breaking records and winning olympic gold

the way, and coming into an olympic year next year she has put herself in a fantastic position to challenge for the gold medal in paris. let’s for the gold medal in paris. let's talk about _ for the gold medal in paris. let's talk about zharnel _ for the gold medal in paris. let's talk about zharnel hughes i for the gold medal in paris. let's talk about zharnel hughes as well, he has got a couple of big events coming up including his favourite, and he is great.— coming up including his favourite, and he is great. yeah, fantastic. we s - oke and he is great. yeah, fantastic. we soke to and he is great. yeah, fantastic. we spoke to him _ and he is great. yeah, fantastic. we spoke to him yesterday _ and he is great. yeah, fantastic. we spoke to him yesterday in _ and he is great. yeah, fantastic. we spoke to him yesterday in the i and he is great. yeah, fantastic. we| spoke to him yesterday in the studio and he is beaming, he is so elated to be able to take an individual medal at world championships. and he has got the 200, he said it is his baby. he's so confident, he has performed well throughout the whole of this year and he is now delivering at the world championships. i'm excited to see what he can produce in the 200 metres. . , what he can produce in the 200 metres. ., , _ , ., what he can produce in the 200 metres. ., , , ., , ., ., metres. that smile says that you are confident in — metres. that smile says that you are confident in him _ metres. that smile says that you are confident in him as _ metres. that smile says that you are confident in him as well, _ metres. that smile says that you are confident in him as well, that's - confident in him as well, that's what i took from that. i confident in him as well, that's what i took from that.- confident in him as well, that's what i took from that. i 'ust think ha - what i took from that. i 'ust think happy athletes h what i took from that. i 'ust think happy athletes are _ what i took from that. i just think happy athletes are great - what i took from that. i just think i happy athletes are great performing athletes and you really feel that from zharnel, he has used manifestation to predict his times and he has fulfilled them, he is in

and showers. more especially away from the west. the glut of the showers will be across the north and the west. it will be a breezy day as well so some of those showers being blown in on a westerly wind, 16 to 25 or 26 degrees in the south—east. this evening and overnight, a lot of the showers will tend to fade. another week front coming in across wales, that could be as far east as the midlands by the end of the night. ten to iii overnight, under clear skies locally in scotland it is going to be a colder night than it was last night. so here is this week front bringing in the rain overnight. through the course of the day as it pushes across the high pressure ridge, you will find that it will weaken. although we start with some rain, it will end upjust being a band of cloud. it will not being a band of cloud. it will not be as windy tomorrow, not much of a breeze but still some showers across the north and the west. in between

we have a peppering of showers as well and also some sunshine. we have some showers which could be thundery in the channel islands, drifting into the south—east and then easing. the showers in the south—east first thing, then you can see this weather front wrapped around our area of low pressure whose centre will be about here, so across the north of scotland some heavy and slow moving thundery outbreaks of rain which will have some showery rain pushing across central parts of england and wales initially. it should dry up in wales. in between a lot of dry weather. iii wales. in between a lot of dry weather. 1a to 25 degrees. towards the end of the week the low pressure drifts off into the north sea, this cold front sinks south and in behind it we pull in fresher conditions across everywhere. you will notice a change because of the temperature

dropping from 25 and 26 in the south to 20 and 2! degrees. chess maybe centuries old, but it's enjoying a surge in popularity amongst young people, and the government wants it to continue. the english chess federation will be given half a million pounds in funding to support coaching, and install 100 new chess tables in public spaces. celestina olulode reports. the strategy, skill and anticipation of a game that's captivated minds for more than 1500 years. these new recruits from malorees school in north west london have been learning since january. i feel relaxed and calmed because you got lots of, you have to put lots of concentration into thinking of how

you would checkmate with the pieces and it's just really calm. always focus on the game cos there could be a secret attack on one of your special pieces like a rook or a bishop or a knight. so always focus. zachary and his friends learned to play with the help of a charity called chess in schools. and now isaac's teaching his parents. yes, i've been teaching my mum and my dad, and it's been really fun going through the experience of that. and what do your parents say to you? well, they're really, like, i think they're really proud of me and my brother playing chess, it's a really good game of the mind and thinking. since leo started playing chess, i've seen a big improvement. he seems to be far better at solving problems. definitely, there has been a change, especially it has made _ them grow in confidence. and one key move ahead, the government has announced £500,000 of funding for the english chess

federation over two years. zachary hopes it will mean more children will take up the game. chess is a very good game or sport and it helps with your tactical thinking, your decision making. my message to the prime minister would be to help encourage the chess federation to encourage more children to play chess. in england, chess is not officially recognised as a sport, so it can't get access to funds that sports groups can. malcolm payne is a former player and international master. he says a lot can be achieved with the funding. so it's potentially transformational because what it means is that we'll be able to get the very best coaching for this enormous group of incredibly talented young players. and the thing about chess is that it's very low cost. the money will be used to support disabled and female players and give the national team

a much needed boost. i think it's only really the beginning. i mean, there's an awful lot more that we can do. we'd like to try and regain england's former status as the second best nation, but it will be extremely difficult. want to play chess online or learn how to improve? but there's love for the game at every level, with interest rising during covid lockdowns. with more than 130 million registered users, online platform chess.com has recorded a 350% increase in members since the start of the pandemic. i don't want to disturb you if you're in the middle of this, but there's loads of people playing chess... set up less than two years ago with ten chess boards, jake's group now meets at multiple locations. he's in favour of government funding, but wonders if it will benefit his community. so i think it's a good contribution. but in terms of community chess, what we do here, it will probably have very little impact on us.

we're self—funded, we do things ourselves. i know you went to a state school, so you were given boards, but not much supervision after that. it's nice to feel when you're, when you come from the poorer side of the track, it's nice to feel that you can not only compete but do better than the richer side of the track without. .. again, iwas fortunate because i had some guidance from someone at home, but there were other people in my school who didn't have that guidance. with each move winning more admirers and government funding announced, there's eager expectation a greater number of champions will come through the ranks soon. celestina olulode, bbc news. joining us now is is—year—old jude who is one of the top junior chess players in england, and chess coach paul lam. morning and chess coach paul lam. to both of you. now, dl you morning to both of you. now, dude, you are 13 now, but you started to

good morning. this is chris warburton, in for nicky campbell on the nation's phone—in. your chance to have your say on the biggest stories of the moment. the courtroom for lucy letby�*s sentencing hearing was full yesterday of the babies' families, of lawyers, police officers and journalists. 8 of the 11 jurors came back to hear the full life sentence handed down to the nurse who murdered seven vulnerable babies and attempted to kill six more infants. but the dock was empty. it has been described as a final act of wickedness on letby�*s part.
