could help women born without a womb and those who lose their organ to cancer or other conditions, as our medical editor fergus walsh reports. a uk first as surgeons transplant a womb into a 34—year—old woman, donated by her ao—year—old sister. the surgery in next—door operating theatres at the churchill hospital in oxford in february lasted around 17 hours. it was an amazing day, absolutely amazing. these two surgeons led a team of more than 30. they recall the reaction of the younger sister when she came round. she was absolutely over the moon. there were a lot of tears, a lot of emotion. she was very, very happy. and the donor probably was even happier, because she had some time to recover from the anesthesia.

so it was a veryjoyous moment for everybody. the recipient was born without a normal uterus, but with functioning ovaries. with her husband, she already has eight embryos in storage and could go on to have two pregnancies, after which her sister's womb will be removed so she can stop taking powerful drugs that prevent her body rejecting the transplant. so she's doing really, really well. she has started having menstrual periods and that means her prospects of having a baby are very high. she needs to stay on immunosuppressive therapy and to be closely monitored. and we hope to be doing an embryo transfer in the autumn. in 2014, a woman in sweden became the first to have a baby after a womb transplant. since then, around 100 transplants have been performed worldwide with 50 babies born. the surgical team here is funded by a charity, womb transplant uk,

and has permission to carry out the procedure with both live and deceased donors. there are a dozen women with embryos in storage or who are going through ivf who are hoping for a womb transplant. for now, the charity has funding forjust three more operations. i'm really excited, yeah. it's nice to feel that it's finally happening. and the demand here could be significant. around one in 5000 women is born without a functioning womb, but many more, like lydia, lose theirs due to cancer. she says a transplant would feel miraculous. since getting diagnosed with cancer and the hysterectomy, the infertility was such a huge part of that. and you grieve, you really do. hopefully, being on the waiting list for a transplant would mean everything. being able to carry my own child and have that experience of feeling

it, being able to breastfeed and being able to have a newborn baby at least once. the charity womb transplant uk has paid £25,000 to cover nhs costs. and all the staff involved gave their time for free. but they will need a big injection of funds if many more women are to benefit. fergus walsh, bbc news. fergus willjoin us later in the programme to explain more about that operation. and lydia, the lady in that piece, she will explain what it might possibly be for people like her. but what else do we need to know? victoria has more news. i have some good news to start the day. eight people, including six children, have been rescued from a cable car that was left dangling over a ravine in pakistan. the group were on their way to school in the north west of the country when a cable snapped,

trapping them hundreds of metres in the air. pakistan correspondent caroline davies reports. crowd: allahu akbar! through the darkness and forest, the sight the crowds had been hoping, waiting and praying for. strapped to the cable, the final rescue, waiting arms and shouts of "god is great". 15 hours earlier, the children were taking the cable car to school when a cable snapped. makeshift cable cars are common in the rural mountains of pakistan, taking minutes over ravines while roads take hours. at first, army helicopters could not rescue them, buffeted by winds, scared the downwash from the blades could make the situation worse. 0n the ground, frustration. local tv managed to speak to one man inside the cable car. rising panic before his phone died.

translation: i don't know how to make a request - translation: i don't know how to make a request how| to make a request but it's a matter of human lives. as you can imagine, the authorities should rescue all of us as soon as possible. 0fficials tried to reassure the growing crowds. with the crowds watching this rescue, a rope from the helicopter, a leap and swept to safety. then, things became more complicated. as the light went, the helicopters left. instead, locals and rescue officials used pulleys and zip lines, dragging themselves along wires. as the night set in, dark, strong winds, hundreds of feet in the air, but determined to reach those stranded. slowly and steadily saving all of them. some appeared stunned. landing in the crowd. a journey to school near tragedy now

followed by people around the world and relief at their safe return. caroline davies, bbc news, pakistan. police in pakistan looking for three people wanted in connection with the death of a 10—year—old girl in surrey have detained three of their relatives for questioning. sara sharif�*s father, stepmother and uncle flew out of the uk before her body was found. they have not been located but three other members of the wider family have. 0nline adverts for the retailer boots promoting four brands of infant formula on google broke advertising rules, the watchdog has said. it's against the law to advertise infant formula for babies up to six months because it might discourage breastfeeding. boots apologised and said the adverts, which were automated, had been removed. students are being warned about the dangers of meningitis after new figures showed 13% of teens who could be starting university have not been vaccinated against the infection. the jab — which is normally given in schools across the uk — protects against four strains of bacteria which cause meningitis and blood poisoning.

18 bodies have been found in a national forest in greece where wildfires have been burning for days. they were discovered in the north—east of the country with reports suggesting that the victims were migrants. 0ur senior international correspondent 0rla guerin reports. it is an inferno and it's leaving little in its wake. firemen have been battling the flames night and day, but the wildfires are spreading. they have come bearing down on avantas, a village where local people are counting their losses. translation: it has reached the entire village. _ our own house up there, where the fire started, has completely burned down. there is nothing. fire, only fire — that's what we could see. the wind was so strong. high winds and soaring temperatures have created a perfect storm.

and, beneath the smoke, a terrible discovery in the forest — charred bodies of those who may have been seeking a better life. so far, they are unnamed, their stories unknown. translation: in the wildfire - of alexandroupolis, in an on-site inspection by the fire department in the wider area of avantas, 18 bodies were found near a shack. the authorities believe the dead may have been migrants or refugees who entered greece illegally and were hiding out near a national park. there's a well—trodden route here for those who cross over from neighboring turkey, desperate to reach european soil. many who call this area home will have nothing left to come back to. this is an increasingly familiar picture in parts of europe.

a postcard from summer in our time. wildfires are not new in greece, but scientists warn they are worsening with climate change. so, in avantas, the bells toll a warning — residents must go while they still can. that was 0rla guerin reporting there. canada has experienced its worst wildfire season in history, forcing more than 30,000 people to flee their homes. in kelowna, british columbia, a team of 500 firefighters say the battle to take control of the blaze is far from over. south america correspondent wyre davies has more. the devastating wildfires of the last week, more than 1000 in total, have been some of the worst in canada's history. firefighting services

stretched to the limit, huge swathes of land consumed by flames and thousands fleeing for their lives. there's a fire right behind our house now. among those evacuated in haste and chaos from the lakeside town of kelowna was local businessman todd ramsay. now safe with his family and pets in vancouver, he described how one of the region's biggest lakes was no barrier to the blaze. nobody thought that the fire would actuallyjump across the lake. but we're sitting there on our deck and we could hear what sounded like hail. and there were pine cones, pine needles, like big chunks of carbon that were still warm to the touch that were falling down on our deck. luck has played its part, but it's been a superhuman effort to avoid any fatalities here, and there's still an abundance of caution. ok, this is yourfirst time here? yeah. so i'm going to give you a card.

in one of two evacuation centres in kelowna, families get food, clothing and help with accommodation. such is the demand, they have to be patient. so the colours represent 100 people that are waiting in the queue, times are the colours that are there so i have about 1,100 people ahead of you in line. some fled their homes, not knowing what they'll be returning to. it's all up in the air, they haven't gave us any clue on when. we just keep looking for updates, so that we know if we can go home and make sure everything's still there. hopefully everything's still there. the intense smoke, too, is a worrying health hazard for shane and his baby daughter, elizabeth. the reason for so many wildfires will be debated, but for many, climate change has to be a factor. unseasonable conditions have brought challenges to humans and wildlife in a part of canada proud of this normally pristine environment. wyre davis, bbc news, kelowna.

india is looking to make history later and become the fourth country to land on the moon. it'll also become the first nation to land a spacecraft on the moon's south pole, days after a russian probe crashed in the same region. the craft is due to land just before midday uk time. hopefully it will land this time. a lot of attention on the moon. closer to home, we have carol. good morning. this morning, many have a humid start, particularly the further south you are. further north in parts of scotland, a fresher start than yesterday. for most, simply a day of sunny spells and showers. we start with rain and cloud in wales, midlands, north—west

england which will ease through the day. showers in the north and west will be on and off. in between, some sunshine. the best of which, the longer spells of sunshine, will be across southern england. here it will be humid with temperatures up to around 26 degrees. in the north, 15-23. to around 26 degrees. in the north, 15—23. through the evening and overnight, hanging on to some showers. it will be breezy. we could see some thunderstorms coming in across the channel islands, moving up across the channel islands, moving up towards the south—east of england. at the same time, rain in northern scotland and some of it could be thundering. a humid night to come. tomorrow, we have rain in the far north of scotland. showers will clear quickly away from the south—east and in between, a day of variable cloud, sunny spells and some showers. and temperatures

tomorrow ranging from 1a to about 24. tomorrow ranging from 14 to about 24. so still feeling humid across england and wales. friday, rain in the north of the country, windy here, as well. it changes direction to a northerly. we could see thunderstorms from some of the showers further south and in between, sunny skies. and the temperatures, 14—22. so a little bit fresher as we heard from friday into the weekend. that is quite a spread of temperatures. after more than 14 hours stuck in a cable car that was dangling over a ravine, eight people have finally been brought to safety in pakistan. six schoolchildren were among those rescued in the northwest of the country after a cable snapped. 0ur pakistan correspondent caroline daviesjoins us now.

i think the world was holding its breath yesterday. an astonishing rescue effort.— rescue effort. quite some to witness- _ rescue effort. quite some to witness. and _ rescue effort. quite some to witness. and this _ rescue effort. quite some to witness. and this is - rescue effort. quite some to witness. and this is an - rescue effort. quite some to - witness. and this is an incredible story. the children on their way to school. a relatively normal commute. taking these cable cars means crossing ravines takes minutes rather than going by road that can take hours. they had gone from taking the normal route to school to becoming a global story that people were hoping they would get back to solid earth. we heard late last night that all those on board, six children and two adults were rescued. watching the rescue through the day, it did not feel like that would be the result we would see. we saw early on it was difficult conditions, a rural area with strong winds. multiple attempts by an army

helicopter trying to reach the children and adults stuck in the cable car. after the lights started going, the helicopters had to leave because they could not operate in those environments and instead, locals and rescue teams took over using cables and a zip line system to get to the cable car and get the children and adults out, strapping them in and using the zip line to take them back to their families. 0ver take them back to their families. over the day, many people had started to build up on the ground. there was a real crowd with families pleading with officials, trying to persuade them to do more but very little they could do other than hope some of the rescue missions would work. and then of course great news late into the evening that all eight had got off safely.— had got off safely. absolutely fantastic. what _ had got off safely. absolutely fantastic. what about - had got off safely. absolutely fantastic. what about the - had got off safely. absolutely| fantastic. what about the kids had got off safely. absolutely - fantastic. what about the kids now? they are ok? we

fantastic. what about the kids now? they are ok?— fantastic. what about the kids now? they are ok? we have heard, so far, the had they are ok? we have heard, so far, they had medical _ they are ok? we have heard, so far, they had medical checks. _ they are ok? we have heard, so far, they had medical checks. we - they are ok? we have heard, so far, they had medical checks. we have i they are ok? we have heard, so far, | they had medical checks. we have not been told of major issues afterwards, we have not been told of anyone going to hospital. we hope everybody on board is ok. there were reports yesterday of someone who had fainted on board. we have not heard of further medical issues since they got off. the next thing now is questions about the use of these locally made cable cars. we see images of these cable cars and it is not something you might get at a ski resort, it is something that has been made by a local mechanic, operated relatively locally and questions now about whether these cable cars, how do they exist, who runs them? are they checked regularly? and people pointing out the cost of the rescue operation, something that was far more stable and secure, more thoroughly run

would have been able to be installed instead. studio: thank you. the lionesses' success at the world cup has left many fans wanting to wear their england shirts in pride. but anyone wanting a replica of mary earps' goalkeeper shirt has had to get creative and make their own version after nike refused to make one alongside the rest of the kit. ben has more on this. all the more extraordinary given mary earps' save of the penalty in the world cup final which would, if she had not saved it, given spain 2-0 she had not saved it, given spain 2—0 lead but fans cannot get hold of her replica kit. football fans are heaping pressure on nike to overturn what they see as a snub of the goalkeeper after the sports brand refused to sell replicas of the

shirt. some are taking matters into their own hands. 123,000 have signed a petition demanding a u—turn from nike. in the lead up to the world cup final there has been a huge appetite for england merchandise. lionesses shirts surged more than 700% ahead of the big game. it outshone the 400%jump 700% ahead of the big game. it outshone the 400% jump in sales last summer injuly when the women's team took on sweden in the semifinal of the euros, which england went on to win. data indicates google searches for lionesses kit rocketed. by almost 4000% ahead of the world cup final. with that demand, it is crucial major sport brands get it right when it comes to merchandise. they spend a lot of time and money

trying to forecast likely demand for jerseys based on history, what retailers tell them, and guesswork. getting it wrong could mean lost sales and letting down fans. nike released a statement pledging to find solutions for future tournaments but remain silent on the mary earps shirt to commemorate this world cup, choosing not to sell her replica kit has left a lot of fa ns of fans disappointed. and trying to find out the reason why they did not do it, it has not been given. perhaps the thinking is goalkeeper shirts do not sell as well. perhaps kids want to be strikers, midfielders. not mine. he is desperate to be a mary earps! that is a lesson for then write there. you have been making one at home? not yet. only a matter of time before i am there with the glue gun.

the world—famous big dipper roller coaster at blackpool pleasure beach is celebrating its centenary today. thrill—seekers have enjoyed the classic wooden ride since it opened in 1923 and, despite a world war and a serious fire, it's survived to help create a 100 years of memories, as breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been finding out. she's been thrilling holidaymakers for 100 years. 100 years of making people go... they scream. blackpool�*s. big dipper is one of the oldest roller coasters in the world. oh, my days! i was screaming my head off. my legs are still shaking. amazing!

it's like really high. it was really scary, as well. you know that ride is 100 years old? i know, yeah. it feels it! there's a charm, isn't there, to the old rides? well, yes, because you hear the chain pulling you up and you hear everything cranking and the woods slightly talking to you, because it all is very flexible. wood's very flexible, so it's very forgiving. the steel coaster is nowhere near as forgiving. and so with wood, you get a totally different ride and it's a totally different sensation. let me introduce the jackson family. hello, family. they cheer. 14 family members are here today — three generations, and the big dipper

has been a constant throughout all of their lives. jackson family, let's go. my son just asked me when i was last on this ride and i said probably about 50 years ago. ready? i came to blackpool with my- grandparents as an eight—year—old. nine—year—old, ten—year—old — i was on here every year. - but i'm going to go on it for old time's sake. - for old times' sake. i want to go again. go again, yeah. you want to go again? yes! the uk's oldest wooden roller coaster is this — margate scenic, which opened in 1920, three years before blackpool�*s big dipper. in 1932, great yarmouth�*s scenic roller coaster opened — still thrilling people today. all three roller coasters

so precious, they have protected heritage status. for many enthusiasts, the original bone—shaking wooden coasters are still the best. just don't dare call them rickety. you know, when you say the word rickety and roller coaster. i don't say that. we all say that. i say organic. organic. a wooden coaster will ride very differently to a modern steel coaster. you'll get a different kind of ride depending on what the weather's like, if it's raining or if the sun's out. you've been on roller coasters the world over. i have, yeah. but this one still does it for you? it's very special. it's the history that's attached to it. you know, amusement parks do change and adapt. but you hold on to those things which are magical and special, and the big dipperfalls into that category, i think. 100 years today. that was jayne mccubbin reporting. and we will be joined

by jayne a little bit later on as she rides the big dipper. on its 100th birthday. do not have too much breakfast, go easy on the sausages! the gromit trail began in bristol in 2013, ten years on it's raised over £20 million for the city's children's hospital. unbelievable. we'll speak to one of the founders about its success. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. police in pakistan have confirmed they've questioned three relatives of the 10—year—old girl found dead in woking. it's now almost two weeks since the body of sara sharif

in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and victoria valentine. lauren taylor was a teenager when she was raped by a metropolitan police officer in 2010. she says she's waived her right to anonymity to encourage others to come forward. adam provan has been sentenced to 16 years for raping both her and a fellow police officer. it took several years and three trials to secure justice for the women. lauren has told her story to our home affairs correspondent sonja jessup. for seven years, lauren taylor has been fighting to put the man who raped her behind bars. she was just 16 years old when he attacked her and he was a serving police officer almost twice her age. to be honest, i don't know how i've actually got through it. i don't feel like i've been very strong, but i feel like the only one that can do anything about it is me.

i knew the truth, and that was the only thing that kept me going, is that i know the truth of what happened to me. lauren has the legal right to remain anonymous, but she told me she wants to share her story in the hope it helps others. how she was attacked by this man, adam provan. how he lied to her, telling the 16—year—old he was 22 and promising her a date to see a film and a walk in the park. you watch films on the telly, you see people walking hand in hand in the park, quite romantic, loads of fountains. and that's probably what i pictured my date to be, a nice stroll through the park and then head to the cinema and then i'll get home and everything safe and sound. but instead, provan drove her to some woodland in romford and raped her. i was just frozen with fear, i think. and it's just... yeah, that's how i managed to get through the whole trauma and get home safely was just to pretend that i wasn't there, pretend it wasn't

me, it wasn't happening to me. after attacking her, she says, he acted as though nothing had happened and bought her a milkshake. it took six years for lauren to feel able to tell the police what provan had done to her. he was jailed, but later that conviction was overturned. but listening to lauren's evidence in court was another woman. she was also a met police officer, and provan had raped her, too. she also decided to come forward. provan was found guilty of six counts of raping the female officer and two counts of raping lauren. but the court heard the female officer had told her bosses she'd been attacked years earlier and was told to effectively keep quiet for the sake of her career. in a victim impact statement, she told the court, "i was the victim, yet i felt like the suspect." she said she felt bullied and victimised. the judge told her her treatment by the met had been abysmal and shocking. i can't account for how

things were in 2005. but on face value, from what we've seen today, there was clearly concerning behaviour. we will look at the detail of how we've handled provan throughout his career in the met and whether we've missed opportunities and whether there's more that we could have done to support victims and identify his offending behaviour. but we know more recently from baroness casey's review that there are things we must do to improve culture and standards in the met. we were both let down. we've definitely both been let down in a way. it is really hard, i think, when you know that he was a police officer. it's hard for me to... well, how am i going to let the rest of these police officers look after me? like, he was supposed to do that for people. but i think over time, they have been more to me than some family have. and i feel like that really shows the people that they are. after so long feeling she had to stay silent, her evidence has put her attacker behind bars and she hopes it

will encourage other survivors of sexual abuse to come forward. sonja jessup, bbc news. what an unbelievably brave lady. trr speak publicly going through all that. 35 minutes past six. john has the sport for us. it is hokey coqui? no sooner has one world cup finished, we are counting down to the next one, the rugby union. after so many changes for england, management being one, it's what team they are going to take to the world cup. owen farrell was banned after a red card given against wales, that was overturned, that was appealed and he is banned again so he will miss the first two world cup matches. in, outcome and he's out at the moment and he will be for the

in the 1500 metres, despite missing out on a podium at the world athletics championships in budapest. she tried to keep pace with eventual winner faith kipyegon but fell away as the race reached its climax finishing sixth overall. elsehwhere, britons katie snowden and melissa courtney—bryant came eighth and 12th respectively. you know what, i felt like i won before i even came into this race because i'm happy. and ijust can't, sorry... it's been hard. but i can't thank the number of people who have supported me, it's been amazing. these two have been great, i'm so proud of them. you know, the only nation to have three in the final. i'm proud of the performance, i gave everything that i could today and that's all i could ask for myself. iran 3.56 in the semifinal so it's been hard but i'm really excited for the future. it was a much better night for fellow british athlete matthew hudson—smith. he broke the british and european records with a time of 44.26 seconds to win his 400 metre semifinal.

the final is tomorrow night. rangers are still in with a chance of reaching the group stage of the champions league after an entertaining draw with psv eindhoven in the first leg of their play off tie. it was rangers who led, abdallah sima with the opener just before half time, what a goal. but psv levelled, only for rangers to take the lead again through rabbi matondo. but rangers couldn't hang on, luuk dejong made it 2—2 on the night. the second leg is next wednesday. and talk about proving your worth in cricket�*s hundred. harry brook hit the fastest ever century in the tournament's history smashing 105 off 42 balls. brook remember isn't in england's squad for the 50 over world cup in october. then in the field, he took

she wouldn't be here now if she hadn't been brought here. yeah, she's she's got a few scars — a few little scars on her ears. obviously had a bit of a tough time at times, but she's very gentle. she's very trusting of people, which always amazes me. becky has helped josie feel safe and loved. as she started to relax, her potential as a therapy dog developed and she qualified last year. now she changes lives for other people. she just lights up the room and she works the room with her eyes. she makes very good eye contact with our clients and our clients seem to engage with her. she just nuzzles them and they're just really settling for them. and she brings this uplifting vibe to our service. the staff get really engaged with it as well, so itjust brings amazing atmosphere to our service and it's just so therapeutic for them. josie is proving herself now as a real people dog.

everywhere we go, she just seems to understand what people need. so we've had to teach her things like sitting on a chair, because she's a bit little if you're in a wheelchair to reach her. we taught her to walk next to a wheelchair, so if we want to go for a walk, she knows how to walk there. we just had to teach a little as we've gone along. and she's just taking it all as if that's what she was here for — what she was born to do. becky plans to continue bringing josie's happiness to patients and to house her in a forever home in redcar. julie smith there withjosie. julie smith there with josie. go, josie! let's _ julie smith there with josie. go, josie! let's have _ julie smith there with josie. go, josie! let's have a _ julie smith there withjosie.

healthy and to work from to have enough to eat. you know how many packed lunches have been sent out so far? 60, i think. ijust feel like it's, i go home and ijust feel amazing. becky, who has seven children, uses some of the services available. we come here, we all get a good meal, a good, nutritious meal. we get a food parcel at the end to help us through if you're struggling. and it gets the kids to try different things and since the kids have come here, they've tried different veggies, different fruits. so it's helped me in a lot of ways, really. more than 30 people have enjoyed a free meal today and on their way out they can also pick up a parcel which contains essentials like breakfast cereal and shampoo. the challenge, the charity says for the future, is keeping up with rising demand. if today is anything to go by, they're going to have a busy year ahead. they've all enjoyed it. it makes me feel really happy. all of them give me lovely compliments of how

i'm doing and stuff. they're expecting more people over the winter, but these young people are determined to make sure no—one goes without. leanne brown, bbc news. there's more information about the cost of living crisis, on the "tackling it together" section of the bbc news website. now this summer marks ten years since giant gromit figures started popping up all over bristol, inspired by the lovable but long—suffering pooch, from wallace and gromit. the trail which was meant to be a one—off has now evolved, and gone global, but it still continues to raise huge sums of money for the city's children's hospital as alice key reports. how much can a dog fetch in a decade? the answer, £20 million, all in aid

of bristol children's hospital. aardman�*s most lovable pup first took up residence in bristol in 2013. the original 80 strong sculpture trail attracted 1.2 million visitors... bidding 18,000 in the room. and raised 2.3 million when each sculpture was auctioned off after. from salty sea dogs to infinity and beyond, ten years on, gromit unleashed has grown in popularity and been supported by a host of famous names and artists such as zayn malik, cath kidston and even disney pixar. event organisers the grand appeal say they didn't realise what a phenomenon it would become. with an international trip to hong kong in 2014, then shaun in the city a year after, before gromit returned to bristol in 2018, joined by friends and foes.

but the government department failed to do so. it's now apologised for falling short in its requirements. this is an example of a print letter. obviously, i can't read it. i'm trying to read it with my fingers, obviously, it's not in braille. you hear the postman, and you're thinking, what's going to be today? what's it going to be today? what are the dwp going to be expecting from me today and am i going to be able to read it? billboards promoting a model and her adult social media accounts have been cleared by the regulator, despite concerns they were inappropriate for children to see. the posters featuring eliza rose watson were seen in harrow, tottenham, lambeth and edgware injune and july and sparked 30 complaints. but the advertising standards authority ruled they were unlikely to cause widespread offence. if you're hoping to use the train over the bank holiday, there's a warning you could face disruption due to a strike and planned engineering. the busiest station affected is euston, where services will be limited on saturday evening

until tuesday and there'll be no trains serving charing cross or waterloo east on saturday or sunday. the advice is to check before you travel. travel now and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between willesden junction and watford junction. there's no service on the dlr between canning town and stratford international. a good service elsewhere. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild, dry and bright start this morning. plenty of sunshine around today, but the high cloud will turn that sunshine a little hazier through the afternoon. but as you can see, really not much in the way of cloud to start the day, that cloud increasing through the afternoon. temperatures still feeling warm, 26 celsius the maximum. so a warm evening, a bright and sunny evening. once the sun sets it is going to be dry and clear to start with but we will see more cloud as we head through the early hours and into thursday morning. the minimum temperature,

again it will feel quite humid, the minimum 13 to 15 celsius. now for tomorrow, coming from the south of the continent, there's a chance of some heavy and quite thundery showers. south and east, mightjust sneak into greater london, largely dry elsewhere. more cloud for the afternoon as a cold front sinks south, temperature tomorrow a degree or two cooler at 24 celsius. that cold front moves through introducing some fresher air for friday. as you can see into the bank holiday weekend, temperatures a degree or two cooler. there's more on our website, including the hollywood costume suppliers based in hendon. that's it for now, i'm back in around half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with victoria valentine and jon kay. our headlines. a uk first as a woman succesfully donates her womb to her sister — a groundbreaking transplant hailed by doctors as a medical milestone. she's doing really, really well. she has started having menstrual periods and that means her prospects of having a baby are very high. dramatic scenes as six children and two adults are safely rescued from a cable car left dangling hundreds of feet above a ravine in a remote part of pakistan.

or those who lose their organ to cancer or other conditions, as our medical editor fergus walsh reports. a uk first as surgeons transplant a womb into a 34—year—old woman, donated by her 40—year—old sister. the surgery in next—door operating theatres at the churchill hospital in oxford in february lasted around 17 hours. it was an amazing day, absolutely amazing. these two surgeons led a team of more than 30. they recall the reaction of the younger sister when she came round. she was absolutely over the moon. there were a lot of tears, a lot of emotion. she was very, very happy. and the donor probably was even happier, because she had some time to recover from the anesthesia. so it was a veryjoyous moment for everybody. the recipient was born without a normal uterus, but with functioning ovaries.

with her husband, she already has eight embryos in storage and could go on to have two pregnancies, after which her sister's womb will be removed so she can stop taking powerful drugs that prevent her body rejecting the transplant. so she's doing really, really well. she has started having menstrual periods and that means her prospects of having a baby are very high. she needs to stay on immunosuppressive therapy and to be closely monitored. and we hope to be doing an embryo transfer in the autumn. in 2014, a woman in sweden became the first to have a baby after a womb transplant. since then, around 100 transplants have been performed worldwide with 50 babies born. the surgical team here is funded by a charity, womb transplant uk, and has permission to carry out the procedure with both live and deceased donors.

there are a dozen women with embryos in storage or who are going through ivf who are hoping for a womb transplant. for now, the charity has funding forjust three more operations. i'm really excited, yeah. it's nice to feel that it's finally happening. and the demand here could be significant. around one in 5000 women is born without a functioning womb, but many more, like lydia, lose theirs due to cancer. she says a transplant would feel miraculous. since getting diagnosed with cancer and the hysterectomy, the infertility was such a huge part of that. and you grieve, you really do. hopefully, being on the waiting list for a transplant would mean everything. being able to carry my own child and have that experience of feeling it, being able to breastfeed and being able to have a newborn baby at least once.

the charity womb transplant uk has paid £25,000 to cover nhs costs. and all the staff involved gave their time for free. but they will need a big injection of funds if many more women are to benefit. fergus walsh, bbc news. fergus willjoin us later to explain more. but now more of the morning's news and some good news. eight people, including six children, have been rescued from a cable car that was left dangling over a ravine in pakistan. the group were on their way to school in the north west of the country when a cable snapped, trapping them hundreds of metres in the air. our pakistan correspondent caroline davies reports. crowd: allahu akbar!

through the darkness and forest, the sight the crowds had been hoping, waiting and praying for. strapped to the cable, the final rescue, waiting arms and shouts of "god is great". 15 hours earlier, the children were taking the cable car to school when a cable snapped. if makeshift cable cars are common in the rural mountains of pakistan, taking minutes over ravines while roads take hours. at first, army helicopters could not rescue them, buffeted by winds, scared the downwash from the blades could make the situation worse. on the ground, frustration. local tv managed to speak to one man inside the cable car. rising panic before his phone died. translation: i don't know how to make a request but it's i a matter of human lives. as you can imagine, the authorities should rescue all of us as soon as possible.

officials tried to reassure the growing crowds. with the crowds watching this rescue, a rope from the helicopter, a leap and swept to safety. then, things became more complicated. as the light went, the helicopters left. instead, locals and rescue officials used pulleys and zip lines, dragging themselves along wires. as the night set in, dark, strong winds, hundreds of feet in the air, but determined to reach those stranded. slowly and steadily saving all of them. some appeared stunned. landing in the crowd. a journey to school near tragedy now followed by people around the world and relief at their safe return. caroline davies, bbc news, pakistan.

caroline sent us an update of the situation earlier. this is an incredible story. the children on their way to school. a relatively normal commute. taking these cable cars means crossing ravines takes minutes rather than going by road that can take hours. they had gone from taking the normal route to school to becoming a global story that people were hoping they would get back to solid earth. we heard late last night that all those on board, the six children and two adults were rescued. watching the rescue through the day, it did not feel like that would be the result we would see. we saw early on it was difficult conditions, a rural area with strong winds. multiple attempts by an army helicopter trying to reach the children and adults stuck in the cable car.

after the light started going, the helicopters had to leave because they could not operate in those environments and instead, locals and rescue teams took over using cables and a zip line system to get to the cable car and get the children and adults out, strapping them in and zip lining to take them back to theirfamilies. over the day, many people had started to build up on the ground. there was a real crowd with families pleading with officials, trying to persuade them to do more, but very little they could do other than hope some of the rescue missions would work. and then of course great news late into the evening that all eight had got off safely. bbc news has seen evidence compiled by prosecutors in romania alleging that the social media personality andrew tate coerced women into sexual acts. the file also includes claims

of sexual violence and transcripts of what prosecutors say are audio messages from mr tate's brother, tristan, in which he appears to talk about �*slaving' women. both men face trial for human trafficking and forming an organised crime group. they deny all the charges. police in pakistan looking for three people wanted in connection with the death of a 10—year—old girl in surrey have detained three of their relatives for questioning. sara sharif�*s father, stepmother and uncle flew out of the uk before her body was found. they have not been located but three other members of the wider family have. 0nline adverts for the retailer boots promoting four brands of infant formula on google broke advertising rules, the watchdog has said. it's against the law to advertise infant formula for babies up to six months because it might discourage breastfeeding. boots apologised and said the adverts, which were automated, had been removed. around 1,000 wildfires

are still burning across western canada as the country grapples with its worst wildfire season on record. in kelowna, british columbia, a team of 500 firefighters say the battle to take control of the blaze is �*far from over. the military has also been called in to help residents to safety. 18 bodies have been found in a national forest in greece, where wildfires have been burning for days. they were discovered in a region to the north—east of the country with reports suggesting that the victims were migrants. our senior international correspondent 0rla guerin reports. it is an inferno and it's leaving little in its wake. firemen have been battling the flames night and day, but the wildfires are spreading. they have come bearing down on avantas, a village where local people are counting their losses. translation: it has reached the entire village. _ our own house up there, where the fire started,

has completely burned down. there is nothing. fire, only fire — that's what we could see. the wind was so strong. high winds and soaring temperatures have created a perfect storm. and, beneath the smoke, a terrible discovery in the forest — charred bodies of those who may have been seeking a better life. so far, they are unnamed, their stories unknown. translation: in the wildfire - of alexandroupolis, in an on-site inspection by the fire department in the wider area of avantas, 18 bodies were found near a shack. the authorities believe the dead may have been migrants or refugees who entered greece illegally and were hiding out near a national park. there's a well—trodden route here for those who cross over from neighboring turkey,

desperate to reach european soil. many who call this area home will have nothing left to come back to. this is an increasingly familiar picture in parts of europe. a postcard from summer in our time. wildfires are not new in greece, but scientists warn they are worsening with climate change. so, in avantas, the bells toll a warning — residents must go while they still can. that was 0rla guerin reporting there. an airport in france will be renamed in honour of queen elizabeth ii after receiving permission from the king. le touquet, in northern france, received the blessing from the king on monday. it will be named elizabeth ii le touquet—paris—plage international airport.

wow. wow. you will need a long ticket for that. a date for the inauguration has not been set. here's carol. if you are flying off for a holiday. if you are flying off for a holiday. if you are staying at home, how is it in the uk? looking mixed in the uk. if you are going to france, it is very hot at the moment. it will turn cooler in the moment. it will turn cooler in the south of england where it has been warm the last few days, on friday. the rest will be business as usual. today, sunny spells and showers. starting with some fog in southern england that will lift. rain coming in across wales, into the midlands and north—west england and some is heavy, some of it is drizzle. showers on and off through the day across the north and the

mid—teens for others. i will have a longer bulletin in around half an hour. the fallout of child serial killer lucy letby�*s refusal to appear for her sentencing continues as the government vows to change the law to force defendants to attend court. but how would any changes work in practice? well, prison officers already play a crucial role in getting defendants to and from court, and mark fairhurst, the chair of the union which represents them, joins us now. good morning. you have the responsibility, prison officers, of getting a defendant to and from court and also from the cells into the court. latte court and also from the cells into the court. ~ ., _, court and also from the cells into the court-— the court. we have court staff predominantly _ the court. we have court staff predominantly private i the court. we have court staff predominantly private sectorl the court. we have court staff- predominantly private sector who have that responsibility. i am not sure we need a change in legislation because it is in the gift of the judge to order the defendant to

appear in the dark and there have been occasions when the public sector and the courts, we used restraints on prisoners to get them into the dark and cuff them so they could hear sentencing and hear the impact statements from victims and families. do we need legislation? i am not sure we do. if a change in legislation is not the answer, what is? it legislation is not the answer, what is? . legislation is not the answer, what is? , ., ., ., is? it is down to the 'udge to decide if they i is? it is down to the 'udge to decide if they want i is? it is down to the judge to decide if they want the i is? it is down to the judge to i decide if they want the defendant to appear in court. they might be acting on intelligence. you have to remember how traumatic it will be forfamilies and victims remember how traumatic it will be for families and victims if the defendant causes disruption in court, if they are abusive towards the family orjudge or continue to act violently in the dock. that could be traumatic. there are alternatives. we have technology we could use. a lot of prisons have videos so we could remotely do court cases from a prison. it is practical we could take a prisoner from their

prison cell to the video suite where they could witness sentencing. we have the facility to mute the sound so that might be more practical. this is about victims and their families. often their voices are not heard. ask them what they want. i am happy to tell them of the practical considerations in a change of legislation but let's ask what they want. ~ ~' ., legislation but let's ask what they want. ~ ~ ., ., ., , legislation but let's ask what they want. . ~' ., . . , ., want. we know what the families of letb 's want. we know what the families of letby's victims _ want. we know what the families of letby's victims felt, _ want. we know what the families of letby's victims felt, that _ want. we know what the families of letby's victims felt, that it - want. we know what the families of letby's victims felt, that it was i want. we know what the families of letby's victims felt, that it was a i letby's victims felt, that it was a slap in the face she was not in person in the courtroom to hear the sentence and they did not get the chance to tell her face—to—face the impact it had on them. who knows what they are going through at the moment, but i wonder if they might say a video link, where the defendant hears the sentences is one thing, but they want them in the room. i thing, but they want them in the room. . . , .,

open to allegations from the prisoner of assault during restraint. we have had it in the past where the judge has insisted the person appears and they have been forced to appear. that is in the gift of the judge. we need to look at alternatives. i understand victims and families wantjustice but let's look at alternatives if thatis but let's look at alternatives if that is not practical. the last thing i would want is those families going through more trauma because of disruption in the dock from the defendant. disruption in the dock from the defendant-— defendant. the alternatives, technology. _ defendant. the alternatives, technology, video _ defendant. the alternatives, technology, video links, i defendant. the alternatives, | technology, video links, once defendant. the alternatives, i technology, video links, once you offer that as an alternative, once defendants know it is a possibility, no one will ever appear in court for sentencing. no one will ever appear in court for sentencing-— no one will ever appear in court for sentencing. that is why we need to be more robust _ sentencing. that is why we need to be more robust with _ sentencing. that is why we need to be more robust with people i sentencing. that is why we need to be more robust with people who i be more robust with people who refuse to hear what sentence they will receive and refused to stand in front of victims and families and hear the impact statement. it is about time we listen to the people

who do not commit crime, the victims and families and be more robust with defendants who refused to appear. let's get them in the dock if that is what people want. haifa let's get them in the dock if that is what people want. how difficult is what people want. how difficult is the decision _ is what people want. how difficult is the decision the _ is what people want. how difficult is the decision the government i is what people want. how difficult l is the decision the government has to make? i is the decision the government has to make? ., ., ~' to make? i do not think it difficult- _ to make? i do not think it difficult. listen _ to make? i do not think it difficult. listen to - to make? i do not think it difficult. listen to the i to make? i do not think it i difficult. listen to the people to make? i do not think it - difficult. listen to the people who matter, the victims and families, and if we have to force people to appear in the dock we have the staff, training, skills to do it. let's make it happen. mark fairhurst, thank you. more than one million people visit stonehenge every year, and many might be surprised to see the famous stones sitting just meters away from one of the busiest roads in the south west. a road you know well. people do. they might be going on holiday and driving down that road. recently, plans to build a tunnel under the world heritage site, to improve traffic, were approved by the government, but campaigners say it could mean the landmark is stripped of its world heritage site status.

jenny kumah reports. elaborate, mysterious and fascinating. globally famous and iconic. for 30 years, though, there's been a debate about road noise and pollution at this world heritage site. this rich landscape is cut in two by the a303 — a key route between the south west and the south east. this section can be a congestion hotspot, with drivers often stuck in long queues during peak holiday periods. everything was great until we got into this area and then it bottlenecked significantly down to pretty much a crawl. you got out. i had to get jam rolypoly. he got jam rolypoly from the car boot. we knew it would be about ten, 15 minutes or so and that's all it was. so it slowed down, didn't stop. i've driven past these stones lots of times,

but this is my first time actually on this site. and what strikes you when you're here is just how close the a303 is. it's about 100m away and around 26,000 cars every day use that road. english heritage manage the monument. they say building a tunnel and removing the road will bring several benefits. visitors have mixed feelings. i think that would really improve the experience here. and people would have experienced back when stonehenge was originally built — you know, there wouldn't have been a big highway right behind it. yes, it would be good, because then it would take away from the sound. so then you have a more peaceful area up here. but building that is obviously going to be a long, lengthy thing that's really going to disturb. i think it would be far more detrimental to everything round about it — the history of archaeology, etc — to be building tunnels. 39 miles an hour — 3—9 miles an hour, 42 miles an hour. just two miles away in shrewton, campaigners want a tunnel. 36 miles an hour.

they say their village is a dangerous rat run. 39 miles an hour, 41 miles an hour,. 41 miles an hour. motorists drive through here to avoid traffic on the a303, often breaking the speed limit. it's a dangerous village. it's not a happy place to live any more. we just need something done. how much of a difference do you think the tunnel could make? the village will be a safe place to live. and we'll have less of this. we're getting huge trucks through here that would normally be out on the 303. but of course, who can blame them? i wouldn't want to be trying to get goods down to the west country and stuck in a queue for an hour and a halfjust to go three miles. opponents, though, say the scheme will mean increased carbon emissions. they also argue it's a waste of money and a desecration of a globally important area. so this is the map of the proposed a303 roadworks. the cuttings would actually destroy

some of these ancient graves. we are meant to look after this site because it is a world heritage, it's a site without parallel that we shouldn'tjust go driving motorway—sized cuttings through it. unesco, the united nations body, has warned the tunnel could cause permanent, irreversible harm. members will meet next month and decide on the future of the site's world heritage status. well, it could be placed on the endangered list, which would mean that it was one step towards actually being removed from world heritage status. so if it was endangered, i think that would be very worrying. it would be appalling. what sort of international reputation do we want to have? the government approved the project last month after concluding that the benefits outweighed the harms. disagreements still rage on. there could still be a long road ahead before a resolution is found. jenny kumah, bbc news, stonehenge.

last 100 years from this? now, the news where you are. butjoin us later. good morning to viewers in london and the south east, i'm alison earle. police in pakistan have confirmed they've questioned three relatives of the 10—year—old girl found dead in woking. it's now almost two weeks since the body of sara sharif was discovered in her home a day after her father, stepmother and uncle flew to pakistan. authorities in the country are continuing to search for them. a man from croydon has been awarded £7,000 after a high court battle against the department for work and pensions over sending him more than a dozen letters he couldn't read. dr yusuf osman, who is blind, asked to receive information about his benefits in braille or another accessible format. but the government department failed to do so.

it's now apologised for falling short in its requirements. this is an example of a print letter. obviously, i can't read it. i'm trying to read it with my fingers, obviously, it's not in braille. you hear the postman, and you're thinking, what's going to be today? what's it going to be today? what are the dwp going to be expecting from me today and am i going to be able to read it? billboards promoting a model and her adult social media accounts have been cleared by the regulator, despite concerns they were inappropriate for children to see. the posters featuring eliza rose watson were seen in harrow, tottenham, lambeth and edgware injune and july and sparked 30 complaints. but the advertising standards authority ruled they were unlikely to cause widespread offence. if you're hoping to use the train over the bank holiday, there's a warning you could face disruption due to a strike and planned engineering. the busiest station affected

is euston, where services will be limited on saturday evening until tuesday and there'll be no trains serving charing cross or waterloo east on saturday or sunday. the advice is to check before you travel. travel now and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between willesden junction and watford junction. there's no service on the dlr between canning town and stratford international. a good service elsewhere. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. similar to yesterday morning, there is a little bit of cloud first it's a mild, dry and bright start this morning. plenty of sunshine around today, but the high cloud will turn that sunshine a little hazier through the afternoon. but as you can see, really not much in the way of cloud to start with today, that cloud increasing through the afternoon. temperatures still feeling warm, 26 celsius the maximum.

so a warm evening, a bright and sunny evening. once the sun sets it is going to be dry and clear to start with but we will see more cloud as we head through the early hours and into thursday morning. the minimum temperature, again it will feel quite humid, the minimum 13 to 15 celsius. now for tomorrow, coming from the south of the continent, there's a chance of some heavy and quite thundery showers. south and east, mightjust sneak into greater london, largely dry elsewhere. more cloud for the afternoon as a cold front sinks south, temperatures tomorrow a degree or two cooler at 24 celsius. that cold front moves through introducing some fresh air for friday. as you can see into the bank holiday weekend, temperatures a degree or two cooler. hello, this is breakfast with victoria valentine and jon kay. victims of gun crime say it is far too easy to get firearms licenses and are calling on the government to change the rules. campaigners want better medical checks and higher fees for gun license applications.

a government consultation looking into the issue closes later today. kathryn stanczyszyn has been to meet gun owners, as well as families of shooting victims. a festival of all things countryside. at the annual game fair in warwickshire, people gather to share a love of outdoor hobbies and outdoor livelihoods. for many, that involves guns. you're talking somewhere in excess of 600,000 people in the uk will have either a firearm certificate or a shotgun certificate or both. so you have people who control vermin. you'll have deer managers, and then you have recreational shooters, you have target shooters. if you look at the public safety record with regard to firearms, there's actually quite strong evidence to say that police forces pretty much get it right. it's not in our interest for anyone who shouldn't have a firearm certificate or a shotgun certificate to get one. events like this celebrate

a culture, a way of life, and that way of life includes gun ownership. so how to properly balance public safety with the hundreds of thousands of people who responsibly own guns? that's a question the government is looking at again. the amount of violent crime committed by licensed gun holders is small, but when it happens, the results are devastating for families and communities. andrew foster's life changed because of the actions of his brother christopher. on may 26 of august 2008, he killed all the animals in his house, set fire to the house, and then shot my sister—in—law and my niece with a licensed firearm. it's 15 years this year and it still has the same impact 15 years on. christopher had been to the doctor and spoken of suicidal thoughts. there was no flag coming up at west mercia saying, "well, hold on, this guy's a licensed gun

holder, he's got x amount of guns, there's a problem here. we should go and take his guns away. in recent years, other cases have made headlines. the killings of kelly, ava and lexi in west sussex in 2020, maxine, lee, sophie, steven and kate in plymouth in 2021, and emma and lettie in epsom earlier this year. all carried out by men with gun licences. this summer's consultation asks a series of questions, including if checks should be more frequent than every five years and if current mental health issues should be flagged. but campaigners say one of the biggest issues is the way the system is funded, something that worries police forces, too. at the moment, the shortfall in staffordshire alone is around £300,000. now that is several police officers that could be doing something else that we're subsidising the industry by. with checks costing at least five times more than the £88 fee, it's a national shortfall

of millions, and gun owners say it means they're not getting an efficient service either. the home office says our gun laws are strict and as well as this consultation, they'll review fees soon. these tragedies continue to happen. you won't stop them in its entirety, but you will lower the percentage of these incidents if it was properly funded and properly managed. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. we'rejoined by rhianon bragg, who was held hostage at gunpoint by her former partner who had six licensed firearms, despite being arrested previously. thank you so much for coming in, rhianon. . . thank you so much for coming in, rhianon-_ we _ thank you so much for coming in, rhianon._ we know i thank you so much for coming in, rhianon._ we know how| thank you so much for coming in, i rhianon._ we know how tough rhianon. pleasure. we know how tough this is to talk — rhianon. pleasure. we know how tough this is to talk about _ rhianon. pleasure. we know how tough this is to talk about but _ rhianon. pleasure. we know how tough this is to talk about but please - this is to talk about but please explain to people hadhome why you want to talk about it, why do you want to talk about it, why do you want to talk about it, why do you want to come on telly and talk about it? i want to come on telly and talk about it? ., �* ., want to come on telly and talk about it? y ., ., _, ., it? i don't want anyone to experience _ it? i don't want anyone to experience what - it? i don't want anyone to experience what i - it? i don't want anyone to i experience what i experienced, it? i don't want anyone to - experience what i experienced, and it? i don't want anyone to _ experience what i experienced, and i strongly believe there is so much

change that could be made to prevent that happening to other people. the current uk government consultation and into something that matters to everybody and everybody should be aware of. what happened to me was that i unwittingly entered into a coercive, controlling relationship, i fell in love with a man who trapped me in a web of line —— lies. it became increasingly violent over five years, he was a gun owner and that was no issue in itself, we live drearily and shooting is a part of rural life, i had no problem with that, so think we would do together, —— it was something we would do together, and that was rural and normal for where we were. but over time the violence increased and he became more unpredictable, but never

took responsibility for his behaviour. the ownership of guns was also an additional threat. after five years i managed to finally end the relationship, and that's when the relationship, and that's when the stalking really increased. i would say it was pretty much a full—time job for would say it was pretty much a full—timejob for him. he would say it was pretty much a full—time job for him. he was, would say it was pretty much a full—timejob for him. he was, as you said, arrested, three times. i put up with his stalking after the relationship for a few weeks until coming home late one evening and, we had a smallholding on the side of the hill, and as i put my foot on the hill, and as i put my foot on the cattle grid to empty —— enter the cattle grid to empty —— enter the place, hejumped out, he had been hiding, and vaulted over the wall. he had been waiting for me and i was a step too far for me. that's when i went to the police. they said how seriously they take these matters and he was arrested for harassment and menacing behaviour, the following week, and then the

week after that. what happened during that time, i have been told his guns had been taken from him and they would be kept during the investigation. the matter went into the cps, when they assessed it, they said it was no further action which in itself was shocking and unbelievable to hear. so in itself was shocking and unbelievable to hear. ~' , unbelievable to hear. so he kept the nuns? i unbelievable to hear. so he kept the guns? i then — unbelievable to hear. so he kept the guns? i then found _ unbelievable to hear. so he kept the guns? i then found out _ unbelievable to hear. so he kept the guns? i then found out later, - unbelievable to hear. so he kept the guns? i then found out later, and i unbelievable to hear. so he kept the guns? i then found out later, and it| guns? i then found out later, and it was only because _ guns? i then found out later, and it was only because i _ guns? i then found out later, and it was only because i asked _ guns? i then found out later, and it was only because i asked questionsl was only because i asked questions and have continued to ask questions, he had his guns returned to him. i know now that was incorrect and they should never have been returned to him. what it meant was that someone who did not accept their behaviour was wrong, who was a violent domestic abuser coercive controller, had essentially been given arms again, released and armed again. and there was no break from the stalking. i kept reporting to the police, i can remember saying to them, he is getting worse, he's going to do something. i didn't know what it was but i knew it was going

to happen. he would curb crawl me, he would follow me on the roads, he would come up to my place when i asked him not to. there would be threats, all sorts of things, horrific and when you are being stalked, it's hard to describe what high anxiety situation it is. they got the point when i was looking at the children in the house just to go outside. they essentially because of all of this were motherless for a few years because you are not functioning in the way that you could be. i kept reporting it and he was getting worse and worse and more and more erratic and thank goodness, the children were away with their father when the final incident happened, which was in the middle of august, i had been out of the neighbours, they returned —— i returned home, it was late, just before midnight i pulled up and as i got out of the car and walked round towards the house, and i'm sorry if

anything i say, it is hard to know what is triggering for other people, he leapt out, he had been hiding again in full camouflage gear, shotgun and shooting gloves and the gun was up against my chest. i screamed which was on a voluntary, there is no point where we leave —— live, no one will hear you. it was a shock but not a surprise because i knew he had been getting worse. i said, puts the gun down, he smiled and said, i will not put the gun down. that was the start of eight hours of being held against my will at gunpoint, frequent threats to kill and the only things that got me through it, one is the adrenaline is an amazing thing, and also that because of the way, this will be for an awful lot of other victims, you learn to modify your behaviour during relationships. you try to be

submissive,, you don't want them to kick off, and i was on my toes for eight hours. 50 kick off, and i was on my toes for eight hem-— kick off, and i was on my toes for eight home-— eight hours. so how has what happened _ eight hours. so how has what happened to _ eight hours. so how has what happened to do _ eight hours. so how has what happened to do you - eight hours. so how has what happened to do you and - eight hours. so how has what happened to do you and the l eight hours. so how has what - happened to do you and the sequence as you see it, and it getting worse and worse, and you reporting it, and nothing changing, how has that changed your view towards guns and what would you like to see happen? i what would you like to see happen? i have no issue with safe and responsible gun ownership, guns are part of rural life, and they are an important part of rural life. what needs to happen is tighter legislation. people will often flag up legislation. people will often flag up that there is not the budget for these things. that prevention is so much cheaper than cure. whatever has gone into and continues to go into my situation, if that had been prevented and redirected into whichever aspect of change that

could be made to stop more of this happening, you would save so many more lives. it's notjust people who have experienced what i have, all the poor bereaved families of what happened in plymouth, there are hidden victims as well where perhaps an abuser has guns and the knowledge that they have guns is a threat in itself. so to see a tightening of licensing registers —— legislation, that police are given more rights and are able to confiscate guns on suspicion, and return them later,. what has happened in the last five years, everyone has been to a global pandemic and is traumatised. one of the things that have been talked about his gp involvement. i don't believe gps should be involved amounted to rilee, inset home office issue, we know that gps are

overstretched. my own perpetrator was fully aware of the risk going to a doctor, he would talk about never going to a doctor and talking about stress and mental health issues because he would lose his licence. it is looking at these in an educated manner. and i think really believing that nobody should have a problem with this, nobody who is wanting to be a safe and responsible gun owner and the user should see anyissues gun owner and the user should see any issues with these.— gun owner and the user should see any issues with these. thank you for cominu in any issues with these. thank you for coming in and _ any issues with these. thank you for coming in and telling _ any issues with these. thank you for coming in and telling us _ any issues with these. thank you for coming in and telling us your- any issues with these. thank you for coming in and telling us your story, | coming in and telling us your story, we really appreciate your time. let's hearfrom david tucker from the college of policing on what kind of changes could be made to firearm licenses. thank you forjoining us this morning. i know all of this is up for review at the moment, what are the changes that might be proposed and what might be likely in terms of gun licensing changes? the

lift and then for some in areas we are going to have a lot of dry weather and sunshine. overnight we have had rain coming in across wales, the midlands, north—west england and also the showers continuing across the north and the west. those showers will be with us on and off as we go through the course of the day. the rain across wales, the midlands and north—west england will tend to ease, we could be looking at one or two showers from the cloud that remains. the lion's share of the sunshine across southern england, south wales through the afternoon, in between we should see some glimmers of sunshine or bright spells. 15 in the north to 26 in the south where it will feel quite humid. this evening and overnight we will hang on to some of the showers, but we will find they will pep up across scotland and some of those will be heavy and thundery. at the other end of the country, we will have showers coming in across the channel islands, spreading by the channel islands, spreading by the end of the night through essex and kent and some of those could

also be heavy and thundery. in between variable amounts of cloud and clear skies but it will feel quite humid once again in southern areas, fresh air as we push further north. that takes into thursday, low pressure pulling away, moving into the east through the day, when the front sinking south will be a weak affair and it will produce some showers. we start with showers in the south—east, some heavy and thundery, and as the weather front six south, said so cloud associated with it and a few showers. it is the day of showers again and breezy. showers 23 and 2a, fresher in the north with highs of ia showers 23 and 2a, fresher in the north with highs of 1a to 21. beyond that, as we head into friday, low pressure starts to push out into the north sea. we still have a lot of showers rotating around it and some

of those will be heavy and thundery. the other thing is there is a change in the wind direction to a northerly or north—westerly, so that is a cooler direction for us so that will have an impact on the temperatures. 14 have an impact on the temperatures. 1a being the temperature in the north of scotland to 22 in the south of england. as we head into the weekend, we can see how the temperatures slip a touch, we lose 25 and 26 and we are back down to 19, and we stay with some showers but also some sunshine in between. so we have got everything apart from snow! share so we have got everything apart from snow! �* , ., , so we have got everything apart from snow! . , ., , ., so we have got everything apart from snow! . i. , ., , ., so we have got everything apart from snow! �* , ., , ., it is so we have got everything apart from snow!— it is a i snow! are you sure, no snow! it is a bank holiday! — snow! are you sure, no snow! it is a bank holiday! i — snow! are you sure, no snow! it is a bank holiday! i bet _ snow! are you sure, no snow! it is a bank holiday! i bet you _ snow! are you sure, no snow! it is a bank holiday! i bet you always - snow! are you sure, no snow! it is a bank holiday! i bet you always say l bank holiday! i bet you always say hello to the _ bank holiday! i bet you always say hello to the driver _ bank holiday! i bet you always say hello to the driver when _ bank holiday! i bet you always say hello to the driver when you - bank holiday! i bet you always say hello to the driver when you get . bank holiday! i bet you always say | hello to the driver when you get on a bus and tram.— a bus and tram. yes, you have a chat. a bus and tram. yes, you have a chat- and _ a bus and tram. yes, you have a chat. and everybody _ a bus and tram. yes, you have a chat. and everybody behind - a bus and tram. yes, you have a chat. and everybody behind you | a bus and tram. yes, you have a i chat. and everybody behind you is like, aet chat. and everybody behind you is like, get a — chat. and everybody behind you is like, get a move _ chat. and everybody behind you is like, get a move on! _ chat. and everybody behind you is like, get a move on! everyone - chat. and everybody behind you is i like, get a move on! everyone behind is iioin, like, get a move on! everyone behind is going. carol— like, get a move on! everyone behind is going, carol kirkwood _ like, get a move on! everyone behind is going, carol kirkwood is _ like, get a move on! everyone behind is going, carol kirkwood is on - like, get a move on! everyone behind is going, carol kirkwood is on the - is going, carol kirkwood is on the bus! _ is going, carol kirkwood is on the bus! �* , ., is going, carol kirkwood is on the bus! �* ., is going, carol kirkwood is on the bus! ., ., .,., bus! don't you want to say hello on the bus? you _ bus! don't you want to say hello on the bus? you do, _ bus! don't you want to say hello on the bus? you do, absolutely, - bus! don't you want to say hello on the bus? you do, absolutely, askl the bus? you do, absolutely, ask them how —

mark's been driving buses for six years. what does that feel like to you when a customer engages? one could say endorphins, but the... having somebody smile, especially when somebody gets on in the morning and you can tell they're not quite awake, you know. and you've smiled at them and said good morning to them as the bus driver. and you can see they're kind of not quite ready to smile but then that smile comes out because smiling is infectious. but when passengers don't acknowledge him, it actually ruins his day. there is this slightly hollow feeling in yourself, but i think that would be common to anybody welcoming anybody into any establishment or anything else. the difficulty, you know, for us as bus drivers is that, you know, you're responsible for priceless cargo, absolutely priceless. you could be carrying gold bullion and it wouldn't be as valuable

as what we carry on our bus. thank you. good afternoon, sir. always make a point speaking to the driver. i think it's nice to be polite and it makes their day as well. i lived in london before i moved to bristol, so we just tap on the bus and and get on. so when i moved to bristol and people were saying, hi, or, like, "cheers, driver" when they got off, iwas like, oh, ok, this is how it goes then. so yeah, i think it's quite important. my priority is just service, really. so ijust get on the bus. they don't say hello to me, i don't say hello to them. the new research found its also good for the passenger. lovelyjob, thank you very much. humans just have this fundamental need to belong, to feel connected. and so these tiny little moments, whether it's a little chat or saying hello or even just simply making eye contact, can really make someone feel more connected and make a big difference. all their research was carried out on bus routes in london. they found signs on buses encouraged 7% more people to greet the driver. if you saw this sign, would it remind you, encourage you to be friendly to the bus driver?

yes, i think so. are you normally friendly? yes, we try to be, yes. sometimes theyjust walk on, obviously everyone's on their phone now, theyjust walk on, scan it and that's it. they don't even walk off and say thank you. thanks a lot, have a nice afternoon. during myjourney today, i found the majority of passengers wanted to engage with their driver. but maybe that's because we're in bristol, a city synonymous with this saying — "cheers, drive," when passengers are getting off the bus. this phrase is so well known they've even named a street after it. fiona lamdin, bbc news. cheers, fiona! it's true, in bristol we say cheers drive to the drivers all the time, i think south wales do it as well. you can get t—shirts with it on. i it as well. you can get t-shirts with it on—

it was an amazing day, absolutely amazing. these two surgeons led a team of more than 30. they recall the reaction of the younger sister when she came round. she was absolutely over the moon. there were a lot of tears, a lot of emotion. she was very, very happy. and the donor probably was even happier, because she had some time to recover from the anesthesia. so it was a veryjoyous moment for everybody. the recipient was born without a normal uterus, but with functioning ovaries. with her husband, she already has eight embryos in storage and could go on to have two pregnancies, after which her sister's womb will be removed so she can stop taking powerful drugs that prevent her body rejecting the transplant. so she's doing really, really well. she has started having menstrual periods and that means her prospects of having a baby are very high. she needs to stay on immunosuppressive therapy

and to be closely monitored. and we hope to be doing an embryo transfer in the autumn. in 2014, a woman in sweden became the first to have a baby after a womb transplant. since then, around 100 transplants have been performed worldwide with 50 babies born. the surgical team here is funded by a charity, womb transplant uk, and has permission to carry out the procedure with both live and deceased donors. there are a dozen women with embryos in storage or who are going through ivf who are hoping for a womb transplant. for now, the charity has funding forjust three more operations. i'm really excited, yeah. it's nice to feel that it's finally happening. and the demand here could be significant. around one in 5000 women is born without a functioning womb, but many more, like lydia,

lose theirs due to cancer. she says a transplant would feel miraculous. since getting diagnosed with cancer and the hysterectomy, the infertility was such a huge part of that. and you grieve, you really do. hopefully, being on the waiting list for a transplant would mean everything. being able to carry my own child and have that experience of feeling it, being able to breastfeed and being able to have a newborn baby at least once. the charity womb transplant uk has paid £25,000 to cover nhs costs. and all the staff involved gave their time for free. but they will need a big injection of funds if many more women are to benefit. fergus walsh, bbc news. big smiles from the surgical team and fergus will be with us in a

couple of minutes to explain how the surgery might progress in the future. lydia, who was in the report, she will tell us how it might possibly affect people like her. victoria has more of the news and very positive news. what a way to start. eight people, including six children, have been rescued from a cable car that was left dangling over a ravine in pakistan. the group were on their way to school in the north west of the country when a cable snapped, trapping them hundreds of metres in the air. pakistan correspondent caroline davies reports. crowd: allahu akbar! through the darkness and forest, the sight the crowds had been hoping, waiting and praying for. strapped to the cable, the final rescue, waiting arms and shouts of "god is great". 15 hours earlier, the children were taking the cable car to school when a cable snapped.

there's a fire right behind our house now. among those evacuated in haste and chaos from the lakeside town of kelowna was local businessman todd ramsay. now safe with his family and pets in vancouver, he described how one of the region's biggest lakes was no barrier to the blaze. nobody thought that the fire would actuallyjump across the lake. but we're sitting there on our deck and we could hear what sounded like hail. and there were pine cones, pine needles, like big chunks of carbon that were still warm to the touch that were falling down on our deck. luck has played its part, but it's been a superhuman effort to avoid any fatalities here, and there's still an abundance of caution. ok, this is yourfirst time here? yeah. so i'm going to give you a card.

at one of two evacuation centres in kelowna, families get food, clothing and help with accommodation. such is the demand, they have to be patient. so the colours represent 100 people that are waiting in the queue, times are the colours that are there so i have about 1,100 people ahead of you in line. 0k. we'll keep pressure on... some fled their homes, not knowing what they'll be returning to. it's all up in the air, they haven't given us any clue on when. we just keep looking for updates, so that we know if we can go home and make sure everything's still there. hopefully everything's still there. the intense smoke, too, is a worrying health hazard for shane and his baby daughter, elizabeth. the reason for so many wildfires will be debated, but for many, climate change has to be a factor. unseasonable conditions have brought challenges to humans and wildlife in a part of canada proud of this normally pristine environment. wyre davis, bbc news, kelowna.

lauren taylor was a teenager when she was raped by a metropolitan police officer in 2010. she says she's waived her right to anonymity to encourage others to come forward. adam provan has been sentenced to 16 years for raping both her and a fellow police officer. it took several years and three trials to secure justice for the women. lauren has told her story to our home affairs correspondent sonja jessup. for seven years, lauren taylor has been fighting to put the man who raped her behind bars. she was just 16 years old when he attacked her and he was a serving police officer almost twice her age. to be honest, i don't know how i've actually got through it. i don't feel like i've been very strong, but i feel like the only one that can do anything about it is me. i knew the truth, and that was the only thing that kept me going, is that i know the truth of what happened to me. lauren has the legal right to remain anonymous, but she told me she wants to share her story in the hope it helps others.

how she was attacked by this man, adam provan. how he lied to her, telling the 16—year—old he was 22 and promising her a date to see a film and a walk in the park. you watch films on the telly, you see people walking hand in hand in the park, quite romantic, loads of fountains. and that's probably what i pictured my date to be, a nice stroll through the park and then head to the cinema and then i'll get home and everything safe and sound. but instead, provan drove her to some woodland in romford and raped her. i was just frozen with fear, i think. and it's just... yeah, that's how i managed to get through the whole trauma and get home safely — was just to pretend that i wasn't there, pretend it wasn't me, it wasn't happening to me. after attacking her, she says, he acted as though nothing had happened and bought her a milkshake. it took six years for lauren to feel able to tell the police

what provan had done to her. he was jailed, but later that conviction was overturned. but listening to lauren's evidence in court was another woman. she was also a met police officer, and provan had raped her, too. she also decided to come forward. provan was found guilty of six counts of raping the female officer and two counts of raping lauren. but the court heard the female officer had told her met bosses she'd been attacked years earlier and was told to effectively keep quiet for the sake of her career. in a victim impact statement, she told the court, "i was the victim, yet i felt like the suspect." she said she felt bullied and victimised. the judge told her her treatment by the met had been abysmal and shocking. i can't account for how things were in 2005. but on face value, from what we've seen today, there was clearly concerning behaviour. we will look at the detail of how we've handled provan throughout his career in the met

and whether we've missed opportunities and whether there's more that we could have done to support victims and identify his offending behaviour. but we know more recently from baroness casey's review that there are things we must do to improve culture and standards in the met. we were both let down. we've definitely both been let down in a way. it is really hard, i think, when you know that he was a police officer. it's hard for me to... well, how am i going to let the rest of these police officers look after me? like, he was supposed to do that for people. but i think over time, they have been more to me than some family have. and i feel like that really shows the people that they are. after so long feeling she had to stay silent, her evidence has put her attacker behind bars and she hopes it will encourage other survivors of sexual abuse to come forward. sonja jessup, bbc news.

a lot more to come on bbc breakfast. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. police in pakistan have confirmed they've questioned three relatives of the 10—year—old girl found dead in woking. it's now almost two weeks since the body of sara sharif was discovered in her home, a day after her father, stepmother and uncle flew to pakistan. authorities in the country are continuing to search for them. a man from croydon has been awarded £7,000 after a high court battle against the department for work and pensions over sending him more than a dozen letters he couldn't read. dr yusuf osman, who is blind, asked to receive information about his benefits in an accessible format. but the government department failed to do so. it's now apologised for falling short in its requirements. this is an example of a print letter.

obviously, i can't read it. i'm trying to read it with my fingers, obviously, it's not in braille. you hear the postman, and you're thinking, what's it going to be today? what are the dwp going to be expecting from me today and am i going to be able to read it? billboards promoting a model and her adult social media accounts have been cleared by the regulator, despite concerns they were inappropriate for children to see. the posters featuring eliza rose watson were seen in harrow, tottenham, lambeth and edgware and sparked 30 complaints. but the advertising standards authority ruled they were unlikely to cause widespread offence. if you're hoping to use the train over the bank holiday, there's a warning you could face disruption due to a strike and planned engineering. the busiest station affected is euston, where services will be limited on saturday evening until tuesday. and there'll be no trains serving charing cross or waterloo east on saturday or sunday. the advice is to check before you travel. travel now and this is how the tube

is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between willesden junction and watford junction. there's no service on the dlr between canning town and stratford international. and minor delays on the circle line, and on the district line between earl's court and ealing broadway/richmond. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild, dry and bright start this morning. plenty of sunshine around today, but the high cloud will turn that sunshine a little hazier through the afternoon. but as you can see, really not much in the way of cloud to start with today, that cloud increasing through the afternoon. temperatures still feeling warm, 26 celsius the maximum. so a warm evening, a bright and sunny evening. once the sun sets it is going to be dry and clear to start with but we will see more cloud as we head through the early hours and into thursday morning. the minimum temperature, again it will feel quite humid, the minimum 13 to 15 celsius. now for tomorrow, coming from the south of the continent, there's a chance of some heavy and quite thundery showers. south and east, mightjust sneak into greater london, largely dry elsewhere. more cloud for the afternoon

as a cold front sinks south, temperatures tomorrow a degree or two cooler at 24 celsius. that cold front moves through introducing some fresh air for friday. as you can see into the bank holiday weekend, temperatures a degree or two cooler. there's more on our website including the costume suppliers to hollywood based in hendon in north west london. that's it for now, i'm back in around half an hour. the world—famous big dipper roller—coaster at blackpool pleasure beach is celebrating its centenary today. this is the view from the cab as you begin the first dip, here we go, i hope you haven't had your breakfast! there you go! thrill seekers have enjoyed the classic wooden ride

there's a charm, isn't there, to the old rides? well, yes, because you hear the chain pulling you up and you hear everything cranking and the woods slightly talking to you, because it all is very flexible. wood's very flexible, so it's very forgiving. the steel coaster is nowhere near as forgiving. and so with wood, you get a totally different ride and it's a totally different sensation. let me introduce the jackson family. hello, family. they cheer. 14 family members are here today — three generations, and the big dipper has been a constant throughout all of their lives. jackson family, let's go. my son just asked me when i was last on this ride and i said probably about 50 years ago. ready?

i came to blackpool with my- grandparents as an eight—year—old. nine—year—old, ten—year—old — i was on here every year. - but i'm going to go on it for old times' sake. - i want to go again. go again, yeah. you want to go again? yes! the uk's oldest wooden roller coaster is this — margate scenic, which opened in 1920, three years before blackpool�*s big dipper. in 1932, great yarmouth's scenic roller coaster opened — still thrilling people today. all three roller coasters so precious, they have protected heritage status. for many enthusiasts, the original bone—shaking wooden coasters are still the best. just don't dare call them rickety.

you know, when you say the word rickety and roller coaster. i don't say that. we all say that. i say organic. organic. a wooden coaster will ride very differently to a modern steel coaster. you'll get a different kind of ride depending on what the weather's like, if it's raining or if the sun's out. you've been on roller coasters the world over. i have, yeah. but this one still does it for you? it's very special. it's the history that's attached to it. you know, amusement parks do change and adapt. but you hold on to those things which are magical and special, and the big dipperfalls into that category, i think. writes, here we go. almost at the top. almost. and let's get into this rickety debate. it is top. almost. and let's get into this rickety debate-— rickety debate. it is not rickety, it's not rickety debate. it is not rickety, it's got character, _ rickety debate. it is not rickety, it's got character, it's _ rickety debate. it is not rickety, it's got character, it's going - rickety debate. it is not rickety, it's got character, it's going to i it's got character, it's going to lighten the tone, you can hear the

kids, your mum did well! let's talk about what's going on with the business because the success of the lionesses has left many shirts wanting to wear their shirt with pride. but anyone wanting a replica of mary earps' goalkeeper shirt has had to get creative and make their own version after nike refused to make one alongside the rest of the kit. ben has more on this. people want the names of their heroes on a shirt, i want mccubbin after that! fans are heaping pressure on nike to overturn its snub of england's goalkeeper mary earps. this is after the sports brand refused to sell replicas of her shirt. some are taking matters into their own hands — have a look at some of these photos of some home made efforts. and more than 123,000 people have signed a petition demanding a u—turn from nike. in the lead up to the world cup final last weekend, and now beyond, there's been a huge appetite

for england merchandise. sales of lionesses shirts surged 700% ahead of the big game, when when sadly they were beaten by spain. it outshone the 400% jump in sales last summer, when the women's team took on sweden in the semifinal of the euros. a tournament england went on to win. meanwhile, data indicates that google searches for "lionesses kit" rocketed by almost 4000% above average ahead of sunday's world cup final. so it's crucial that major sports brands like nike and adidas get it right when it comes to merchandise. they spend a lot of time and money forecasting likely demand forjerseys — based on history, what retailers tell them, and intuition. getting it wrong could mean lost sales and letting down fans. nike have since released a statement, pledging to find solutions for future tournaments but remained silent on an earps shirt to commemorate this world cup.

choosing not to sell goalkeeper mary earps' replica kit has left lots of fans disappointed. thank you, then. what are people getting in touch on that. —— lots of people are getting in touch. let’s people are getting in touch. let's talk about the _ people are getting in touch. let's talk about the sport. _ talk about the sport. won world cup to the other, 17 date of the rugby world cup and england's preparations have not been too good. the news today that owen farrell who was banned and then it was lifted and that ban has now been reimposed to. �* ., , and that ban has now been reimposed to. r . , ., and that ban has now been reimposed to. . . , ., yes, and that ban has now been reimposed to-_ yes. he - and that ban has now been reimposed to._ yes, he will i to. and that is it now? yes, he will miss the first _ to. and that is it now? yes, he will miss the first two _ to. and that is it now? yes, he will miss the first two matches. - a big loss for england with news captain owen farrell has had his ban reimposed. and whilst it no doubt disrupts england's preparations, many will feel player safety has been prioritised. world rugby successfully appealed against the initial decision

to overturn his red card he received against wales in one of england's warm up games. he's been given a four game ban — which means he'll also miss england's final warm up match against fiji on saturday along with the opening pool games against argentina and japan. and it could still get worse for england as they await the news of whether billy vunipola will also miss the start of the tournament. he's awaiting to hear what ban he could face after being sent off against ireland last weekend. he is the only recognised player to play in his position in steve borthwick�*s squad, and would be a big miss too. disappointment last night for laura muir who said she was happy with her performance in the 1500 metres, despite missing out on a podium at the world athletics championships in budapest. she tried to keep pace with eventual winner faith kipyegon but fell away as the race reached its climax finishing sixth overall. elsewhere, britons katie snowden and melissa courtney—bryant came eighth and 12th respectively. you know what, i felt like i won

before i even came into this race because i'm happy. and ijust can't, sorry... it's been hard. but i can't thank the number of people who have supported me, it's been amazing. these two have been great, i'm so proud of them. you know, the only nation to have three in the final. i'm proud of the performance, i gave everything that i could today and that's all i could ask for myself. iran 3.56 in the semifinal so it's been hard but i'm really excited for the future. it was a much better night for fellow british athlete matthew hudson—smith. he broke the british and european records with a time of 44.26 seconds to win his 400 metre semifinal. the final is tomorrow night. rangers are still in with a chance of reaching the group stage of the champions league after an entertaining draw with psv eindhoven in the first leg of their play off tie. it was rangers who led.

abdallah sima with the opener just before half time, what a goal. but psv levelled — only for rangers to take the lead again through rabbi matondo. but rangers couldn't hang on — luuk dejong made it 2—2 on the night. the second leg is next wednesday. to a brilliant display from cricketer harry brook in the hundred. not enough to earn his side victory though. he was racing through the runs scoring the fastest ever century in the tournament's history, making 105 off 42 balls. brook remember isn't in england's squad for the 50 over world cup in october. then in the field, he took a stunning catch — showing some quick thinking — to getjonny bairstow out. catching the ball, but not dragging it over the boundary. but despite all of that he couldn't stop welsh fire beating northern superchargers.

in the women's match, the superchargers did keep their hopes alive of reaching the final thanks to marie kelly top scoring with an unbeaten 69 to win by 16 runs. and to one of the more unconventional baby reveal videos now. serena williams as we saw, the multiple grand slam champion sitting alongside herfamily here, alexis ohanian and daughter olympia, in what looks like a fairly regular scene, cafe perhaps? only for serena to exit stage right and reappear with their new arrival, a second child, a baby girl who they've named adira river ohanian. i told you it was unconventional and a little bit different. it i told you it was unconventional and a little bit different.— a little bit different. it quite understated, really. - a little bit different. it quite understated, really. there i a little bit different. it quite i understated, really. there was a little bit different. it quite - understated, really. there was not even applause- — understated, really. there was not even applause. just _ understated, really. there was not even applause. just got _ understated, really. there was not even applause. just got a - understated, really. there was not even applause. just got a baby! i even applause. just got a baby! thank you _ even applause. just got a baby! thank you very _ even applause. just got a baby! thank you very much. - even applause. just got a baby! thank you very much. carol i even applause. just got a baby! thank you very much. carol has even applause. just got a baby! i thank you very much. carol has got the weather, how is it looking, oh,

push down towards the south—east. as we go through the evening and overnight, we will have some showers, but if anything across scotland they are going to pep up and some of those will be heavy and thundery. at the same time we have more showers coming in. some of those showers will be heavy and thundery. some clear skies and areas of cloud, humid night in the south but fresher conditions in comparison in the north. that leads us nicely into thursday, the driving our weather starts to slowly move eastwards. the weather front is a fairly weak affair but it will produce some cloud and the showers will holloway. the reigning scotland moving up to the northern isles

where it is persistent. —— the rain in scotland moving up. temperatures tomorrow ranging from 14 in the north to 24 in the south, temperatures just slipping a little bit tomorrow. even fresher on friday. i don't mind that! emmerdale star amy walsh has swapped the yorkshire dales for the kitchen, in the new series of celebrity masterchef. amy is joined by a host of famous faces, all hoping to whip up a culinary masterpiece. let's take a look at how she's getting on so far. amy, up you come. i think this is going to be the hardest thing i have probably done. i've seen how it breaks people. oh, gosh. do you know what it is? it's a fish. why don't you just hold it up and see if they can identify it for you? a bream.
