our headlines today: the prime minister faces another by—election after former government minister nadine dorries resigns after months of speculaton. in a blistering attack, she accuses rishi sunak of whipping up a public frenzy against her. i'm actually shocked that the prime minister himself has kind of opened the door on free hits at me from anybody. suspended by fifa and facing mass resignations from his coaching staff, the crisis in spanish football deepens over the behaviour of its chief, luis rubiales. and on the hunt for the loch ness monster. will the largest search in 50 years finally unravel the mysteries of the deep? in sport: england's problems continue to mount as they lose to fiji for the first time and head into a world cup with five defeats from six matches.

good morning. we got another day of sunshine and showers today. the showers will be heaviest and most frequent in the east. the could be some sunshine around as well. some drier interludes as well, but i will have more details coming up shortly. it's sunday 27 august. our main story: the prime minister faces another difficult by—election after the conservative mp nadine dorries finally handed in her resignation. the former culture secretary said she was stepping down with immediate effect 11 weeks ago but stayed on to make inquiries about why she had been denied a peerage. she has accused rishi sunak of whipping up a public frenzy against her. our political correspondent iain watson reports. last year she was a cabinet minister, but now nadine dorries has said she will be leaving parliament for good. if you think you've heard that before, well, she initially announced she'd go back injune, but then decided

to stay on to try to find out why she had been apparently blocked from taking a seat in the house of lords. she is no stranger to controversy. she upset many in her own party a little over a decade ago when she got out of westminster during parliamentary time and went down under to take part in this reality tv show. but now she is finally leaving the political jungle and taking a swing at the current prime minister. in a resignation letter to rishi sunak, she tells him: she warmed to her theme in a mail on sunday interview. rishi sunak became prime minister without a single members�* vote or a vote from the public. no—one has voted for him to be in thatjob — nobody. and he immediately abandoned the manifesto that the british people in 2019 went out and voted for. they went out and voted for borisjohnson and they voted for a manifesto. both have gone. three short years

and both have gone. nadine dorries was a close ally of the former prime minister borisjohnson and has denounced mps who ousted him as stupid, so her criticism of the current prime minister is not exactly a surprise. pressure from some of her colleagues at westminster and in mid—bedfordshire to quit have been increasing, and early this week some of her constituents told the bbc they also wanted her to go. she's been absent for so many years, and perhaps she should go. totally disappointed, and she should have resigned and left. she denies letting her voters down. opposition parties haven't waited for her formal resignation to start preparing for a by—election. the conservatives, too, have a candidate ready to go, and you do get the impression that nadine dorries sees some in her own party as her true opponents. iain watson, bbc news. with more now on this story that just keeps running and running, involving the spanish footballer, here is ben with the rest of the

news. spain's world cup—winning coach, jorge vilda, has condemned the behaviour of the country's football federation president. luis rubiales has been suspended by fifa for kissing the player jenni hermoso on the lips at their world cup victory last week. zoe conway reports. luis rubiales is looking increasingly isolated. his kiss ofjenni hermoso has led to his suspension by fifa, and now the team's coach, jorge vilda, has condemned his behaviour, saying in a statement: only on friday, jorge vilda was in the audience applauding as luis rubiales told an emergency meeting of the country's football federation that he would not resign. he speaks spanish

he continues to insist the kiss was consensual and has vowed to defend himself until the truth prevails, but within the game, pressure is mounting. growing numbers of players and managers are taking the side ofjenni hermoso, who says she did not consent to the kiss. the cadiz team carried a banner onto the pitch saying "we arejenny". the seville team had written on their t—shirts "#seacabo". it means "it's over". in other words, they want him to go. it is so unfair that one of the highest moments in spanish sport, not only women's sport but spanish sport, the second world cup that we win, has been stolen because of this behaviour. this is unacceptable, and i think this is not spain.

the speed with which the sweetness of victory has turned sour is breathtaking. right now spain does not even have a women's team because they're refusing to play. the team's coaches are on strike too, and the spanish government is so fearful the chaos willjeopardise its bid to host the 2030 world cup that the sports minister, victor francos, has told reporters he has contacted fifa to plead that spain's bid must not be affected. in america, players in the national women's soccer league are wearing wristbands saying, "with you, jenny". this dispute is now about so much more than the future of spanish football. it is about the role of women in the global game. zoe conway, bbc news. government has killed three black people in a racially motivated

attack in florida —— government has killed three black people. the white man opened fire at a store in jacksonville, killing two men and women before killing himself —— a gunman. the metropolitan police says it is investigating a potential cybersecurity breach at one of its suppliers. the force said the company had access to names, ranks, photos and pay numbers for officers and staff and that it was working to understand what data, if any, had been accessed. murderers whose offences face a sexual motivation face life in prison with no chance of being released under plans released by the government. while judges can already hand out whole—life orders, the proposed law would for the first time make this the default sentence for any sexually motivated murders. a vigil will be held in county tipperary today in memory of four young people who died in a car crash on their way to celebrate exam results. luke mcsweeney, his 18—year—old sister, grace mcsweeney, along with zoey coffey and nicole murphy, who were also 18, died after the car

hit a wall on friday. thousands of people have gathered for the 60th anniversary of martin luther king's march on washington, where he gave his famous "i have a dream" speech. it was a pivotal moment for the civil rights movement. members of dr king's familyjoined crowds on the national mall to commemorate the historic event. a large part of what he was speaking when he got to "i have a dream" was not to leave people in hopelessness — that in spite of all of these difficult things, that we still have to fight in terms of racial and economic injustices and inequities. i still have a dream that one day we will live in this kind of world, and we've made progress since then. john lewis and waitrose are the latest to join supermarkets in cutting the price of their period pants. the retailer says it will reduce the price of some period underwear by 20% in its stores from next week.

they should be clearing away, but actually for many of us it is set to be another day of sunshine and showers. we are not all going to see them through the course of the day, so not a write off today. there will be some dry and some brighter intervals as well, but we have got this weather front that's just pushing its way in from the north—west. that will bring some persistent rain across the north—west of the uk, and ahead of that, in that north—westerly airflow, yes, some scattered showers. so this morning we are seeing some rain across parts of eastern scotland, northern england, wales and the south—west of england as well. tending to dry up a little bit and brighten up as well, but further east across england we see the bulk of the heavy and perhaps thundery showers, anywhere from the likes of yorkshire down towards kent during the course of the afternoon. also our weather front moving into northern ireland and western scotland, so clouding over here with some outbreaks of patchy rain. temperatures are fairly disappointing 1a in the far north—west but up to about 22 in the sunny spells in the southeast. that should feel reasonably pleasant stop and of course, those reading and leeds festival is continuing. the chance of a shower at reading and that leads, but the showers would be

is heavy or as numerous as they were yesterday, typically in the evening hours, and the chance of a shower for the notting hill carnival as well. but into tomorrow, although we could see a bit of rain early on, it should clear away. so through this evening and overnight, most of the daytime showers either way. you could see a bit of dry weather into the evening. marc lederjust drifting its way southwards and eastwards on the breeze overnight. a few misty, murky patches forming and a bit like last night, temperatures for a few of us getting down into single figures. as we start the day on monday, a bank holiday for some of us, but not everywhere, it is looking like an improved day. we will have lost the bulk of the showers that have been with us through the course of the weekend. sunny spells for most of us, areas of cloud drifting southeast and we could see some showers for london and the south—easterly on the day, but later sunny spells and it will feel reasonably pleasant out there. 21 degrees or so for the warmest spots and a little bit warmer across parts of northern and western scotland, mid to high teens for most here. looking further ahead into the rest of the week, we still have low

pressure not far away, pushing across the uk, but i am pressure on the atlantic is trying to nudge its way in. so a few showers around, i think, for tuesday. most frequent across the north—west of scotland, where there could be heavy, blustery and thundery. perhaps a few more just crossing slowly southwards and eastwards through central parts of written as well. but there will be some sunny spells either side of that tuesday, and temperate is not doing too badly, up to 22 degrees or so for the warmest spots, typically the mid to high teens further north. a quick look at the weather through mid week onwards, wednesday are largely dry, quiet day with some sunshine, but then it is up and down towards the end of this coming week into the weekend as well. so yes, some showers. not particularly warm for the time of year, but most of us should see some sunny spells either today or into tomorrow. we will see you a bit late now. not the best weather yesterday in the north of scotland but it did not deter hundreds of people.

on the scottish highlands this weekend in what's been described as the biggest search for the loch ness monster in 50 years. the modern myth of nessie has been capturing imaginations ever since the first reported sighting 90 year ago. 0ur scotland correspondent jamie mcivorjoined the search. just what lurks in one of scotland's deepest lochs? the legend of the loch ness monster dates back centuries and it's 90 years since the first alleged sighting of nessie in modern times. but nobody has managed to solve the mystery of the loch — at least, so far. still, the keenest nessie hunters remain undeterred. the biggest operation to monitor the surface of the loch since the 19705 is under way. with this new technology being used, it's very exciting for us. so, we've got underwater hydrophones being used. they're going down to a depth of 60 feet, listening to the sounds underneath loch ness. we've also been flying some drones with thermal imaging cameras over the top of loch ness, so we are using modern technology to help

uncover some of these mysteries. hundreds are joining the search from all corners of the globe, some online, some in person. there's been so many spottings and so many tales about it that you have to wonder at some point where the stories come from, so it'd be nice to think that something did exist, if it did exist or if it still exists or happened at one point or another. it'sjust the mystery around it all. the not knowing for definite, you know? yeah, there's a lot of people saying you cannot prove it but there's no proof that nessie is not there, so it'sjust a big mystery. the story of nessie first caught the public�*s imagination in the 1930s. every so often, pictures appeared which seemed to show a strange creature in the loch and many have tried and failed to find an explanation. in the 19505, a live bbc programme attempted to solve the mystery scientifically. someone who had said they'd seen nessie was interviewed. what did you see

through your telescope? well, i saw this animal which i thought was a big monster going up the loch. what was it like? it was dark brown in colour and very rough skinned — the skin of an elephant. what length would you say it was? 0h, i'd say unintelligible. various theories have been put forward to explain nessie, from giant eels to optical illusions, but some sightings for the cameras have been less than convincing. # oh, there is a monster in loch ness — # a fact you cannae hide... still, nessie's long attracted tourists to a remote part of the highlands, helping support manyjobs and bringing area internationalfame — that's one reason monster hunters around the world are joining the latest search. let me tell you, scientists can get things wrong because scientists told us there was no such thing as giant squids, that they were all extinct, only for us to have recently discovered that giant squids do

still exist, so why can't there be something in loch ness? nessie, though, remains elusive. loch ness is some 800 feet deep and the mystery of its murky depths may never be fully explained. jamie mcivor, bbc news. i'm not sure that they found nessie. a beautiful part of the world to spend some time. find a beautiful part of the world to spend some time.— a beautiful part of the world to spend some time. and it's nice to have the mystery. _ spend some time. and it's nice to have the mystery. show - spend some time. and it's nice to have the mystery. show we - spend some time. and it's nice to have the mystery. show we look. spend some time. and it's nice to. have the mystery. show we look at the --aers have the mystery. show we look at the papers today? _ have the mystery. show we look at the papers today? sunday - have the mystery. show we look at l the papers today? sunday telegraph leads at the shadow chancellor saying that labour will not introduce any wealth tax if it wins the next election in what the paper calls a bold bid for businesses in wealthier households. the mall on sunday says it has seen documents by the london town mayor to introduce a pay per mile road tax. it says the plans would use the same cameras to

to be corrected, because i should be a world champion right now. the formula one world champion, max verstappen, has put himself in the perfect position to keep the home fans happy at the dutch grand prix today. he is on pole again in his red bull, qualifying half a second quicker than mclaren's lando norris. verstappen is chasing a record—equalling ninth grand prix win in a row. mercedes's george russell will start third, whilst his team—mate and seven—time world champion, lewis hamilton, could manage only 13th. the saturday weakness is the strength on sunday. it's going to be an exciting race. i'm sure max will be having a sunday drive and waving to the crowd on his way tomorrow, but hopefully we have a good fight with alex, lando and the rest of the guys. for a third year in the row there'll be a new name on the men's hundred trophy later today. last year's runners—up, the manchester 0riginals, will take on the oval invincibles at lord's. the 0riginals booked their place in the final thanks to a stunning display from england white ball captain jos buttler. he hit 82 offjust 46 balls as the 0riginals chased down 197 against the southern brave to win by seven wickets.

the women's eliminator was rained off, meaning the northern superchargers will face the southern brave later. the dutch team were the surprise winners of the team time trial in the vuelta. former winner thomas is 20 seconds off the lead after his team came eighth. the race will end in madrid three weeks from today. frankie dettori had double delight on what is set to be his final day of rides at york. after winning the city of york stakes on the favourite, kinross, the 52—year—old won the big race of the day, claiming victory with absurde in the ebor handicap. dettori is due to retire at the end of the year, bringing to an end a career which stretches back to 1987. rory mcilroy�*s hopes of back—to—back victories look to be over in the

states, as he trails the leader by 11 spots. he tied for eighth spot on nine under par going into the final day of the championship later today. he holds the most fedex cup wins, with three. in rugby league's super league, there was a big defeat for the leaders, catalans dragons. they were thrashed 34—0 at home by wigan warriors, abbas miski with a hat—trick for the away side. catalans stay top despite the defeat, but wigan are nowjust two points behind them. we started with one rugby, we ended with another, and in between quite a lot of sport. with another, and in between quite a lot of sport-— lot of sport. yes, nice circularity. or oval-shaped. _ lot of sport. yes, nice circularity. or oval-shaped. yes, _ lot of sport. yes, nice circularity. or oval-shaped. yes, much i lot of sport. yes, nice circularity. | or oval-shaped. yes, much more appropriate- _ she was the ten—year—old singing sensation from scotland who captivated audiences week after week, going on to win the uk's first

to create real equality. ..and a record—breaking show. you're standing in the wings and the orchestra starts, i something just takes over. # phantom of the opera... i guess it's theatre magic. new york is, without a doubt, one of the most dynamic, diverse, and creative cities in the world, and one that i've loved going back to time and time again. over the years here on the travel show, we've brought you a ton of great stories from the big apple.

and in this week's show, we'll be looking back at some of them. the city has always been at the forefront of activism. so let's kick off by remembering how the events that happened here on one balmy night way back injune 1969 inspired change. in the us, the 19605 was an era of activism and protests. it was the end of the counterculture, 19605. women were fighting for their rights. blacks were fighting for their rights. latinos were fighting for their rights. and we just said, "what about us? "why not us, why not me?" 0njune 28th, 1969, the riots at the stonewall inn on christopher street would mark the birth of the modern gay rights movement. so this is where it's at. yes _ where it all happened. mark segalwa518 at the time and had arrived in the cityju5t a few weeks earlier. ..seeing all the rainbow flags on it.

what is it like to be back here? it's sort of emotional. i think of the people who helped educate me or what we needed to do to create a real movement, to create real equality. what was it like that night? just like any other normal night. we were inside, we were having a great time. i was standing in the back near the dance floor. the lights flickered on, then they came on full force. i looked over at someone and said, "what's happening?" and they said, "oh," very casually, "it's a raid." i'd never been in a raid before, so i was a little nervous. police barged in and just started pushing people around. and anybody looked like they were successful, they went up to them and said, "take out your wallet." and they took the money. it was, you know, out—and—out graft right in front of everybody's face and they didn't care because that's the way you got to treat gay men and lesbian women in those days. you treated them like trash.

so they cornered me. i went out and i stood about right over there. 0ut here, somewhere between 50 and 100. police tried to disperse us. we wouldn't disperse. it was the first time that gay people said to police, "no, this is our neighbourhood. "you're not going to tell us to get off our street." we picked up stones, we picked up cans and threw them. and that was the first riot. the prote5t5 raged for several nights and led to the first pride march in 1970. the stonewall inn has since become a historic landmark and attracts visitors from across the globe keen to learn about the struggles. it was illegal to serve gay people alcohol. i and it was also... i mean, it wasn't easy. many of us went to jail, many of us were beaten. it's been a long 50 years. but guess what? we're further along than i would have ever expected. i can't really imagine what it must have been like to be there on that day when the stonewall riot5

were kicking off. but i loved what he said about the fact that for them it was just a protest. they were just sticking up for their rights and doing what they felt they needed to do. and it's only now that we realise what a big impact they all made. chanting many cultural institutions have embraced the opportunity to delve deeper into lgbt history and culture, highlighting the bravery of some of the less well—known figures. some of the most important people are transgender people, _ and particularly sylvia rivera and marsha pjohnson. - a lot of people thinkl of them just in terms | of their participation in stonewall, | but they were really major activists |at the time and were on the front| lines of all of the demonstrations. so the whole community came together, then? yeah, both this new generation of activists and also the older i generation of activists and lesbian activists, gay activists _ and transgender activists. oh, yes — "lesbians unite," yeah.

and so here you see thousands- of people who were willing to come out of the closet and be part of this political movement. i it's hoped that exhibitions like this will help keep the memory of what happened alive and inspire future generations. i'm 27 — this is the first time i'm seeing many of these pieces. why should people my age, my generation, care about this exhibition? in this internet age of people - liking things on facebook and a kind of internet activism, _ i think it's very hard for people ito realise the real oppression thati people faced in the 19605 and '70s, and also that they were able to make a difference. - and the way they changed our society was by getting personally— involved in politics, i injoining organisations, creating newsletters i and putting their bodies on the line in demonstrations. i think we need to appreciate today and also be inspired by today- to know that we can make a difference again. - and back at stonewall, a chance encounter with a group of students provides an emotional reminder ofjust how far the movement has come. i'm proud of what happened there. it makes you proud to see

you all here today because it says the work that we did, it's filtering through. i think any of us who were there that night would have never expected we would have come as far as we have. i'm shocked. i never thought i'd be able to be married. i never thought i'd be able to express that publicly, me saying that i have a husband... sorry, i'm getting emotional. something i never thought i could do. applause so, thank you, guys. an emotionaljourney there for ben hunte back in 2019. from an iconic moment to an iconic monument. lady liberty on ellis island was, for a long time, the very first sight of america for millions of immigrants. originally a gift from the people of france, in 2019, a brand—new museum in her honour opened. ijumped on the early ferry

to liberty island to be among the first to check it outjust before it opens to the public. wow — i've never seen the statue this close before. definitely worth the ungodly wake—up call. the museum takes people all the way back to the 5tatue's creation. it was designed by frederic auguste bartholdi, who built it in his paris workshop. the statue marked 100 years since the declaration of independence, and the historic alliance between america and france. in 1885, it was shipped in 350 individual pieces over to new york, where it was reassembled and unveiled to the american public the next year. so let's have a look at the face. that's a huge face. this full—size replica is made from the same materials as the statue.

the important thing is for you to feel the narrowness of the copper. that's the full size of the copper. i was not expecting it to be that thin. i know, no—one does, it's very thin. that's super thin. yeah. now for the piece de resistance — the original torch. the torch. the original torch. wow. stood up there from 1886 to 1984. the original torch had been changed from bartholdi's design to include a glass panel flame that could be lit up at night. in the 19805, it was removed and replaced during a massive restoration of the statue. talk to me about how difficult it was to get the torch in here. well, i didn't have to do it! but it was it was quite a task. people worked for about two weeks from three in the afternoon

till three at night. and they had this carrier that they laid the face on its back, and then put the torch on it. we had not put in all the glass here, so that it could lift quite nicely into its position. yeah. and it all worked quite well — and here it is. martin and his team have been in charge of conserving the torch and cleaning it up. it'sjust a simple cotton cloth. just trying to get the heavy things out. just getting rid of that dirt. like with any cleaning job, it's never done. i do feel very honoured... yeah, it's pretty cool. ..to touch it because the public aren't going to be able to touch this, are they? no, they're really not. yeah, not really! just don't leave any real marks, ok? my hands are clean. it's so iconic. and you think about its history, and how it stood for freedom and for liberty to people

all over the world. it really is a remarkable piece of work. still to come in this look back at stories from the big apple — how one artist has devoted his life's work to the new york subway. and the end of a truly historical run. there's nothing not to love about it. it's all challenging and it's all wonderful, and i'm just so lucky to be able to work on it. now, we're heading underground to meet an amazing guy who's dedicated his life to sketching every station of the new york subway.

he started way back in 1978 — and when we caught up with him in 2018, he was still going with his sketchbook in hand. when i began my study, a voice inside my head said, "why don't you see how conscious people are of the subway "art after all." i'd say, "are you aware of the art in the subway?" well, half of them said, "what art?" nothing, no idea at all. i got some pens here — red, green and blue. here we go. my study of the subway really began years ago when i was about eight years old and my father told me that down in the subway stations in new york, there were pictures on the walls.

i thought that was very curious. but what got me going deeper, besides the fact that i realised some stations were boosting their decor so they had to be recorded, and realising this, i got concerned and thought, well, somebody has to preserve a record of what we have now. it became, sort of, a cause for me to record the embellishments of the stations. so it rather snowballed into rather a long project, which is now 40 years in the making and not done yet. well, actually the earliest stations were built 1900, 1904 and at that time there was a great movement for the city, beautiful movement, when the mayor and his council decided that they wanted to establish new york as noble and attractive a city as the old european capitals were,

are, which the americans and new yorkers have always looked up to. and the mayor decided, well, you know what, we can do that right here in new york also. a good example of the very high design elements in a subway station we found a borough hall, in brooklyn, the first subway station and the first subway line into brooklyn. it's just like one of the dozen designs that lafarge created just for this station alone. but it's worth it. so what i do when i do my project, i have to do it at night or weekends. 0ften you'll find me at the library or in the subway, drawing pictures of what's on the wall and taking notes on how many mosaics are there, what colour are they, the general description of any station.

i've been self—publishing my work ever since i began. this year, though, a lot has changed. a university has published a book of my drawings. my drawings and my notebooks, the real thing, the originals, have been on display in grand central terminal. it has made us stop and appreciate... look at 137th street, look at that. we don't do that any more. no, no, we don't, no. we don't have time to look at it, and we don't have the money to produce it. since i've started this study... being, i hope, somewhat of a thorough person, i intend to finish it, which means i really have to visit all the stations in the system. i have quite a long

road ahead of me. i've done 110 stations so far and i have many more to go, obviously, 360 more or more, god knows. because i've started, i feel i have to finish it. and just to update you — we've had word that philip is still sketching away on the subway, so let's hope he eventually reaches his goal. well, just before we go, we've got time to go behind the final curtain of the phantom of the opera. after 35 years on broadway, this record—breaking show came to an end in april this year. so before the cast took their final bow, we went behind the scenes to meet some of them. and while it's goodbye from them, we'll see you again next week. i still cry every time i see it. i'm a softie, what can i tell you? it has permeated every

aspect of pop culture, and i think there's very few musicals that can do that. it has been a part of my life i for almost half of my adult life. somehow, i thought that the show would be running when i was gone. it's hard to put into words because i love what i do. mm — makes me a bit teary. this is our working warehouse, and we're in new york — i'm not going to tell you exactly where, but we're in new york city — and this is where we keep all the spare costumes that we need to do fittings and stuff. i've been with the show since 1989. we did a count about 4—5 years ago,

i think, and at that point we determined there were like 7,000 individual costume pieces here. so there's a lot — a lot, a lot, a lot. and we didn't even count the hats and shoes. this is meant to set the stage for everything that you're about to see for the next two hours and 20 minutes. it's sort of like, this is the level of decor and texture. and here is, of course, the mask. this is like a cage. so i have a lot of steel going around here, but it makes me very upright, which is great. there's definitely something that happens to you as a performer, you know, no matter what happens in the day — and once you start that process of getting dressed and putting your make—up on, and then you're standing in the wings and the orchestra starts, something just takes over and it all falls into place. i guess it's theatre magic.

i was actuallyjust finishing another show, and i hadn't seen my daughter in a while. and then i got this auditioni from my agents, and i said, "no, i don't want to do that." he stopped and he turned around in his chair and said, "ben, - "if you don't do that audition, you will regret it for- "the rest of your life." and i figured a good way of getting out some emotions was to, like, i tell my daughter how important it | would be if i were to get the job. | and i kind of got the panic attack out of my system —j and literally my phone rang, and it was my agent - telling me i had gotten it. and it's a frustrating thing - because the costs have risen since, you know, the post—pandemic world. so the show closing is very bittersweet. | welcome to the real phantom's lair. it felt like my years of studying and practice had paid off. this is the first show

i ever saw on broadway, and it is my broadway debut. so it's a it's a beautiful, beautiful, full—circle moment for me. it meant that, for other people and other young black girls who would come to see me, or would see my face and see me playing this role, it meant that they could have a chance and they could see themselves playing a role like this, too, and kind of affirming their hopes and dreams in a way that i didn't necessarily have growing up. when phantom first came to broadway, it actually revolutionised the business. there was a spectacle that was never seen before. the whole package, i mean, the costumes, the music, everything, it just comes together in a package that, to me, is very hard to duplicate. the phantom happens to be my favourite show of all times,

and i've seen this show probably nine times. i plan to see one more time before it closes. instruments tune up that's when i'll be - bawling, on those notes. we've been through a lot with this chandelier over the years. but it's held up. all the circuitry is intact. we've never burned out one piece of wire. i hope she gets a place in the museum. welcome to the phantom — keep moving!

i'm working in this theatre for 38 years. i started before the phantom. i feel proud. we go out working, meeting thousands of people every week in this theatre from around the world. people know me sometimes by name. music: intro to the 0verture applause cheering coming closer now to these final performances, i feel an enormous amount of... ..gratitude, and i feel honoured. there's nothing not to love about it. it's all challenging, and it's all wonderful, and i'm just so lucky to be able to work on it.

i do feel like broadway is losing part of its foundation _ with the show closing. pride is an understatement as to what i would feel. this show is much bigger than... ..the rest of us. and it has been a wonderful, wonderful ride indeed. cheering and applause good morning.

welcome to breakfast, with ben boulos and sarah campbell. 0ur headlines today: another tricky by—election for the conservatives after nadine dorries retires with a scathing attack on rishi sunak. i'm actually shocked that the prime minister himself has kind of opened the door on free hits at me from anybody. suspended by fifa and facing mass resignations from his coaching staff, the crisis in spanish football deepens over the behaviour of its chief, luis rubiales. this is not how england would have wanted to go into the rugby world cup. they head to france with five defeats from six games after losing to fiji for the first time in their warmup match. good morning. we've got another day of sunshine and showers today. the showers will be heaviest

and most frequent in the east. there could be some sunshine around as well. some drier interludes too, but i'll have more details coming up shortly. it's sunday 27 august. our main story: the prime minister faces another difficult by—election after the conservative mp nadine dorries finally handed in her resignation. the former culture secretary said she was stepping down with immediate effect 11 weeks ago but stayed on to make inquiries about why she had been denied a peerage. she has accused rishi sunak of whipping up a public frenzy against her. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. last year she was a cabinet minister, but now nadine dorries has said she'll be leaving parliament for good. if you think you've heard that before, well, she initially announced she'd go back injune, but then decided to stay on to try to find out why she'd apparently been blocked from taking a seat in the house of lords. she is no stranger to controversy. she upset many in her own party a little over a decade ago

when she got out of westminster during parliamentary time and went down under to take part in this reality tv show. but now she is finally leaving the politicaljungle and taking a swing at the current prime minister. in her resignation letter to rishi sunak, she tells him: she warmed to her theme in a mail on sunday interview. rishi sunak became prime minister without a single members' vote or a vote from the public. no—one has voted for him to be in thatjob — nobody. and he immediately abandoned the manifesto that the british people in 2019 went out and voted for. they went out and they voted for borisjohnson, and they voted for a manifesto. both have gone. three short years, both have gone. nadine dorries was a close ally of the former prime minister borisjohnson, and she has denounced mp5 who ousted him as stupid, so her criticism of the current prime minister is not

exactly a surprise. pressure from some of her colleagues at westminster and in mid—bedfordshire to quit have been increasing, and earlier this week some of her constituents told the bbc they also wanted her to go. she's been absent for so many years, and perhaps she should go. but i'm totally disappointed, and she should have resigned and left. she denies letting her voters down. 0pposition parties haven't waited for her formal resignation to start preparing for a by—election. the conservatives, too, have a candidate ready to go, and you do get the impression that nadine dorries sees some in her own party as her true opponents. iain watson, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent helen joins us now. good morning to you. some very scathing remarks against the prime minister in the resignation statement, and of course now facing another by—election. hand now facing another by-election. and it's another — now facing another by—election. fific it's another one of now facing another by—election. a"ic it's another one of these situations where on the face of it should be a

safe conservative seat. nadine dorries won by nearly 25,000 votes in 2019, but of course, during this parliament we have seen a number of majorities of that size get overturned in by—elections. the conservatives are still trailing in the polls. so that will make it tricky for the conservatives to try to hold this one. i think it's going to hold this one. i think it's going to be interesting about this one, though, in particular is that in some of those other by—elections where we have seen large majorities overturned, one of the other opposition parties has emerged pretty swiftly as the choice to back for the anti— tory vote. what is interesting about mid bedfordshire is that both labour and the liberal democrats have already started campaigning ready hard on the seat, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. labour came second they're back in 2019. a5 for the timing of the by—election, it will be a little bit longer before we find out when that is going to happen, and that is because they need to be some bits of processes that happen in parliament to set the date. parliament doesn't return until a week tomorrow stop so firstly they will need to finish the

formal resignation process for nadine dorries. this letter to the prime minister is not part of that, thatis prime minister is not part of that, that is just the way to get her views out, but she has applied for the formal resignation process. that will have to take effect and a writ will have to take effect and a writ will be issued in parliament to agree the date of the by—election. the date itself is within the government's control, so we will have to see how quickly or otherwise they choose to move on this. here is ben with the rest of the news. that includes the latest from the spanish football federation. yes. spanish football federation. yes, another twist, _ spanish football federation. yes, another twist, let _ spanish football federation. yes, another twist, let me _ spanish football federation. yes, another twist, let me give - spanish football federation. ia: another twist, let me give you the details on that. spain's world cup—winning coach, jorge vilda, has condemned the behaviour of the country's football federation president. luis rubiales has been suspended by fifa for kissing the player jenni hermoso on the lips at their world cup victory last week. zoe conway reports. luis rubiales is looking increasingly isolated. his kiss ofjenni hermoso has led to his suspension by fifa,

and now the team's coach, jorge vilda, has condemned his behaviour, saying in a statement: only on friday, jorge vilda was in the audience applauding as luis rubiales told an emergency meeting of the country's football federation that he would not resign. he speaks spanish he continues to insist the kiss was consensual and has vowed to defend himself until the truth prevails. but within the game, pressure is mounting. growing numbers of players and managers are taking the side ofjenni hermoso, who says she did not consent to the kiss.

the cadiz team carried a banner onto the pitch saying, "we arejenny". the seville team had written on their t—shirts "#seacabo". it means "it's over". in other words, they want him to go. it's so unfair that one of the highest moments in spanish sport, not only women's sport but spanish sport, the second world cup that we won, has been stolen because of this behaviour. this is unacceptable, and i think this is not spain. the speed with which the sweetness of victory has turned sour is breathtaking. right now spain does not even have a women's team because they're refusing to play. the team's coaches are on strike too, and the spanish government is so fearful the chaos willjeopardise its bid to host the 2030 world cup that the sports

minister, victor francos, has told reporters he has contacted fifa to plead that spain's bid must not be affected. in america, players in the national women's soccer league are wearing wristbands saying, "with you, jenny". this dispute is now about so much more than the future of spanish football. it is about the role of women in the global game. zoe conway, bbc news. 0urspain 0ur spain correspondentjoins us now, and we heard the spanish sports minister pleading with fifa that this shouldn't affect their bid to host the men's world cup in 2030. what you think chances are of posting that tournament? well, this whole case has _ posting that tournament? well, this whole case has taken _ posting that tournament? well, this whole case has taken on _ posting that tournament? well, this whole case has taken on an - whole case has taken on an international dimension now, hasn't it, in great part because of fifa�*s involvement and the fact that the world football governing body has

suspended mr rubiales provisionally. that makes this an international affair, as has all of the attention from around the world. i think a lot of people here in spain have been very upset about this issue from the point of view of gender equality and sexual consent. a lot of other people have been upset about it because of the way in which it seems to have painted spain's image around the world, and of course, linked to that, you have the 2030 bid which spain has alongside morocco and portugal. think inevitably there are going to be concerns the. just three months ago spain had another football related controversy when there was a race row involving a brazilian player who plays for real madrid. at the time there were worries there about how the effect 2030 bid, and i think there are again those concerns here. the thing

is that the longer this crisis goes on, the more it is going to affect the bid, but if it can be resolved very soon, that will be better for the bid overall.— the bid overall. thank you very much. a gunman has killed three black people in a racially motivated attack in florida. the white man opened fire at a store in jacksonville, killing two men and women before killing himself. the metropolitan police says it is investigating a potential cybersecurity breach at one of its suppliers. the force said the company had access to names, ranks, photos and pay numbers for officers and staff and that it was working to understand what data, if any, had been accessed. a vigil will be held in county tipperary today in memory of four young people who died in a car crash on their way to celebrate exam results. luke mcsweeney, his 18—year—old sister, grace mcsweeney, along with zoey coffey and nicole murphy, who were also 18, died after the car

hit a wall on friday. john lewis and waitrose are the latest to join supermarkets in cutting the price of their period pants. the retailer says it will reduce the price of some period underwear by 20% in its stores from next week. charlotte winfield has this report. when it comes to our periods, we've always been made to feel a certain way. they've been growing in popularity for years, thanks in part to a wave of online adverts and tiktok videos which promote them as practical and eco—friendly. but period pants, which can be washed and reworn, are still classed as a garment and not a sanitary product by the uk government. that means they're subject to a 20% vat, unlike other period products, such as pads and tampons, which have been exempt from the tax since 2021. earlier this month one period pant manufacturer, wuka, joined forces with a high street chain, marks & spencer, to launch

a campaign, "say pants to the tax," demanding that the treasury lifts vat. now a stream of other retailers, including john lewis and waitrose, have joint m&s and tesco in voluntarily reducing the price by 20%. we believe that periods are not a luxury. sustainability is not a luxury. we want — people who will to live sustainable lives should not be punished, and this is clearly what's happening. period pants are taxed at 20%, whereas disposable are taxed at 7%. in a statement, the government said it is committed to making sanitary products affordable and available to all, pointing out the decision to scrap vat on many products in 2021. it's time to start a new cycle. period pants rose to popularity at the start of the pandemic as a more sustainable option, but it's a hard sell if you're having to pay more. charlotte winfield, bbc news.

build here during the course of the day, bringing some showers later on. so different areas seeing showers cropping up at different points through the course of the day, but it won't be a complete write off. there will be some dry and some sunnier intervals where you can dodge those showers as well. no pressure just drifting off to the east, sitting across scandinavia, and another weather front moving its way in from the north—west will bring in a bit more cloud and rain to northern ireland later in the day, eventually to western scotland as well. some showers for eastern scotland, northern england, down towards parts of the south—west first thing. they should ease away, so improving here, but further east down towards yorkshire and kent we are seeing the bulk of the heavy showers during the afternoon. there could be thundery, bringing hail as well as lightning. yesterday we saw some funnel clouds in the east but fewer of those, i think, today. the showers not as heavy as they have been. temperature—wise, disappointing 14 degrees for the north and west of scotland and a pleasant enough 22 down towards the southeast in between any of those

showers. lots of events happening today and into tomorrow, which is a bank holiday for of us. at reading and at leeds, some sunshine, particularly at reading, the chance of a passing shower and you could catch a shower for the notting hill carnival as well. tomorrow a few spots of rain, but earlier on, so an improving picture if you are heading to notting hill tomorrow. through into the evening hours, today's showers will tend to ease away. a bit of car drifting this wits overnight, so the odd spot of rain, but quite a few clear spells of rain. the misty patches forming, a bit like those last night. temperatures getting down into high single figures for some of us to start your monday. through the day tomorrow it will be an improved picture. if you have been crossing your fingers and holding picture. if you have been crossing yourfingers and holding on picture. if you have been crossing your fingers and holding on for a bit of sunshine, it is on its way. most of us having a dry day, areas of light shower remain drifting across the southeast during the morning, tending to ease away during the afternoon. could be one or two showers moving in from the north—west as well. temperatures for scotland and northern ireland a degree or two up in recent days, so

looking at the high teens. central and southern areas, 20 or 21 degrees should feel pleasant enough, with light winds around on monday as well. did you say a couple of things happening. high pressure trying to nudgein happening. high pressure trying to nudge in from the atlantic but weather fronts moving their way in from the north—west. they are going to bring some further showers on tuesday. blustery and heavy at times across the north—west of scotland, and perhaps a bit more cloud and light spots of rain tracking southeast woods on tuesday across england and wales, but either side of that some sunnier intervals. not feeling too bad, temperatures in the mid to high teens in the north but again up to about 22 degrees or so for east anglia and southern and eastern england as well. into wednesday, the middle of the week, a bit of respite and some sunshine but looking more unsettled from thursday onwards. some showers as we head through the final few days of meteorological summer into the start of september, and temperature is fairly typicalfor this of september, and temperature is fairly typical for this time of year.

we are hearing that rishi sunak may face yet another by—election. we now speak to annalise dodds, thank you forjoining us this morning. lots to talk about this morning but we have to start with the resignation letter from nadeem doris. your reaction? i think it is a real relief because they desperately need an mp who will be focused on them full—time and the labour candidate has been working really hard already for local people and i've been out and about on the door step with him and it's clear what he's seeing is really resonating with people. they need a voice on the cost of living and the in the nhs and the crime on the streets and they would get that with alistair strathmerton and a labour mp. some of the poles we have seen

on the situation in mid bedfordshire really encouraging, placing labour in pole position for the constituency despite the fact we've never won there before so it is all to play for four labour in the by—election. to play for four labour in the by-election-_ to play for four labour in the b -election. ., ., ., , , by-election. you have answered my ruestion by-election. you have answered my question as — by-election. you have answered my question as to _ by-election. you have answered my question as to whether _ by-election. you have answered my question as to whether you - by-election. you have answered my question as to whether you have i question as to whether you have started campaigning already. i no surprise that nadine dorries has wanting to resign but you are clearly out on the streets already but as you alluded to there, you're very much in second place back in the last election in 2019 and she had something like 25,000 majority and how confident are you that you could overturn a huge majority? brute could overturn a huge ma'ority? we are could overturn a huge majority? - are working to do that. i think there is a huge amount of frustration amongst people stop nadine dorries herself described the conservative government in parliament is not achieving anything. she said that rishi sunak

himself does not seem to have a clear purpose and what he's doing. said there is currently a long day parliament not setting up solutions for people. that is likely contrast with labour's approach. we have a plane on the cost of living rises. we have a plan for the struggling nhs. and to make sure we are bearing down on crime. we have those clear measures. we would be putting them in place right now to help people. very clear contrast with the conservatives there. i know that alastair has been working with local people on gp access for example as many parts of the country are, struggling to get appointments with the doctors they need. we have a clear plan to boost the nhs workforce and that is going down very well. really, everything to play for four labour in very well. really, everything to play forfour labour in mid bedfordshire. and i received a very positive response when i have been out on the streets. i everything to

play for and the lib dems will also be targeting seats and they came third back in 2019. i5 be targeting seats and they came third back in 2019.— third back in 2019. is there any chance do _ third back in 2019. is there any chance do you _ third back in 2019. is there any chance do you think— third back in 2019. is there any chance do you think that i third back in 2019. is there any chance do you think that the i third back in 2019. is there any i chance do you think that the two may work together to try to overturn the 25,000 majority which presumably would be a lot easier than splitting the vote between you? i would be a lot easier than splitting the vote between you?— would be a lot easier than splitting the vote between you? i think that's im ortant the vote between you? i think that's important that _ the vote between you? i think that's important that voters _ the vote between you? i think that's important that voters have - the vote between you? i think that's important that voters have a - the vote between you? i think that's important that voters have a choice | important that voters have a choice and they can decide for themselves the labour will not be cooking up deals behind closed doors with other political parties. we think it's important people have the choice to vote for the party they want to support and i'm really confident that people will choose to vote labour. just as they chose to vote labour, they gave a really strong amount of support for the labour candidate in other parts of england and labour won the by—election and we were told we couldn't do it and i think we are in a similar position when it comes to mid bedfordshire.

of inner london have been under ulez scheme since 2019 and to monitor the impact of the low—impact zone, the capital has now one of the most extensive networks of testing stations. this is an air quality mobile super site. including this sophisticated device, able to capture and counter the smallest particles, the raw data on air quality is related to this lad, run by imperial college. the professor has been monitoring london's atmosphere for 30 years. he and his team are funded by the mayor office to review the signs of the effectiveness of ulez. this is what ou have effectiveness of ulez. this is what you have mig _ effectiveness of ulez. this is what you have mig concentration - effectiveness of ulez. this is what you have mig concentration if- effectiveness of ulez. this is what| you have mig concentration if ulez is not introduced. this is what you have in reality and that is a massive benefit, this level of an 02 concentration.— concentration. using a camera, we can clearly — concentration. using a camera, we can clearly see _ concentration. using a camera, we can clearly see the _ concentration. using a camera, we can clearly see the source - concentration. using a camera, we can clearly see the source of - can clearly see the source of pollution in central london, older

as your video team said there, if you are going to go to the beach, choose a life guarded beach and go and ask the lifeguards between the red and yellow flags, is it safe for us to blow up an inflatable and to go into the shallows. as you said, some people were staying very close to shore and were being supervised as well. also if you see that there is an orange winsock flying and it is an orange winsock flying and it is blowing out to sea very strongly, that means there are offshore winds, so that is not a good time to use an inflatable. again, we would recommend not using them whatsoever. keep them for the swimming pool, but we will do our best with our messaging. we will do our best with our messaging-— we will do our best with our messauuin. �* , ., messaging. and there has been a articular messaging. and there has been a particular problem _ messaging. and there has been a particular problem with _ messaging. and there has been a particular problem with inflatable | particular problem with inflatable paddle boards. why do you think that is? is itjust that there are more of them and they are more popular, or is there a particular problem with the design of those inflatables?— with the design of those inflatables? , , ., , inflatables? yes, so stand up paddle boardin: is inflatables? yes, so stand up paddle boarding is a — inflatables? yes, so stand up paddle boarding is a really _ inflatables? yes, so stand up paddle boarding is a really popular, -

inflatables? yes, so stand up paddle boarding is a really popular, fun - boarding is a really popular, fun and healthy way to enjoy our coastline and inland as well. a lot of the boards that we are seeing, to make them more portable, are inflatable as well. it is one of the fastest—growing watersports around the uk. so there are, there are things you can do to keep yourself safe if you are going to the beach this summer with your inflatable standard paddleboard. you can wear a buoyancy aid, so if you fall in the water you will remain buoyant. you could carry your phone in a waterproof pouch, if you get into trouble you can call someone, wearing the correct leash for the conditions, and finally those offshore winds. if you are standing on the beach and the wind is blowing from you out to see very, very strong, we know that people go out on stand up paddle boards in those conditions that they are more likely to get into trouble, so assessing the conditions, and if you're not sure, go to your local life guarded beach and speak to the lifeguards there. it beach and speak to the lifeguards there. , ' . ., there. it is difficult at the moment- _ there. it is difficult at the moment. you _ there. it is difficult at the moment. you saw - there. it is difficult at the moment. you saw in - there. it is difficult at the moment. you saw in thatl there. it is difficult at the - moment. you saw in that report there. it is difficult at the _ moment. you saw in that report that when you go to the beach will be

stand—up paddleboard, or if you have children and go out with an inflatable, we would hope that if you're going out you have your phone in a waterproof pouch, particularly for stand—up paddle boarding. and what that means if you find yourself in trouble if you are caught in a tide or an offshore wind, you can call 999 you can ask for the coastguard. we also appreciate that if people go into the water, they may not have their phone on them, they may not have a waterproof pouch for that phone. so again, if you find yourself in trouble, stay with whatever object you have. you can wave for help stop we will call the coastguard or someone will hopefully spite you, get in touch with the coastguard, and we can get one of our life stations to come out and help or contact the local beach lifeguards as well.— lifeguards as well. that is all really good _ lifeguards as well. that is all really good advice. _ lifeguards as well. that is all really good advice. thank- lifeguards as well. that is all| really good advice. thank you lifeguards as well. that is all - really good advice. thank you for joining us this morning. this morning's front pages are dominated with the news of nadine dorries, who has resigned as an mp more than two months after announcing her intention to quit. opposition parties will now be preparing their campaigns to take

the mid bedfordshire seat. we're joined now by sir ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats. good morning to you. firstly, your reaction to this news of nadine dorries resigning?— reaction to this news of nadine dorries resigning? well, she said she was going — dorries resigning? well, she said she was going to _ dorries resigning? well, she said she was going to resign - dorries resigning? well, she said she was going to resign two - dorries resigning? well, she said i she was going to resign two months ago. i think she has failed yet again the people of mid bedfordshire, as have the conservative party, for allowing her to stay in place without any discipline. liberal democrats have been campaigning there. i have been there three times already, and it is clear that the people of mid bedfordshire feel the conservative party are out of trust and they see the liberal democrats is the main challenges. it was clear we were the ones who could meet comic beat them in mid bedfordshire. we had the only opposition candidate was born and raised in mid bedfordshire and lives in bedfordshire with herfamily, and she has been campaigning on the

issues that she knows people there care most about, cost of living and the nhs, particularly the lack of gps there. the nhs, particularly the lack of gps there-— the nhs, particularly the lack of gps there. ., , .,, ., ~ gps there. you say the people of mid lzvedfordshire — gps there. you say the people of mid bedfordshire see _ gps there. you say the people of mid bedfordshire see the _ gps there. you say the people of mid bedfordshire see the liberal- bedfordshire see the liberal democrats is the obvious choice, but the reality is on the 2019 election the reality is on the 2019 election the lib dems came third therewith just over 8000 it is labour that the mid bedfordshire constituency is the obvious choice, isn't it?— obvious choice, isn't it? firstly, that is not— obvious choice, isn't it? firstly, that is not what _ obvious choice, isn't it? firstly, that is not what people - obvious choice, isn't it? firstly, that is not what people are - obvious choice, isn't it? firstly, i that is not what people are telling us when we knock on their doors. and you don't want to believe us, believe the bookies, whose money is on the line. they have the liberal democrats as odds—on favourites, so i think people will look at that quite seriously. but interestingly, also, this is a rural blue wall seat, the sorts of seats that the liberal democrats have been winning. and if you look at recent by—elections in this type of seat, we won from third place, northrop share, for example, we came from third to win. east devon we came from third to win in by—elections.

so we are increasingly confident that we have a really good chance here. there is a big tory majority to overturn, so we are far from complacent, we're not going to take the votes for granted, but we know people will break up the day after polling day, whenever that is, and they will either have a conservative mp or a liberal democrat mp. you say ou are far mp or a liberal democrat mp. you say you are far from _ mp or a liberal democrat mp. you say you are far from complacent, - mp or a liberal democrat mp. you say you are far from complacent, in - you are farfrom complacent, in which case, if there is even the slightest doubt in your mind, would you favour perhaps some sort of deal with labour over a pact to run together or even to step aside and let labour contest the seat in order to oust the conservatives? definitely not. people deserve a choice, but if you look at the by—elections, we have won four of them in these types of seats, rural blue wall seat, in nearby buckinghamshire, we overturned a massive tory majority without labour standing aside, north shropshire, most recently in somerset, where we had a massive victory for the

liberal democrats, overturning a 19,000 tory majority to an 11,000 liberal democrat majority. labour fought that seat as well, and i think voters should have the choice. but it is really clear, the emphasis is overwhelming, that in seats like mid adventure, the liberal democrats are the only ones who can beat the conservatives. we are the only ones who can beat the conservatives.— conservatives. we have now had several by-elections. _ conservatives. we have now had several by-elections. they - conservatives. we have now had - several by-elections. they obviously several by—elections. they obviously take up politicians' time, energy and attention when there a cost of living crisis very real matters and issues, pressing matters, to be sorted. do you think the time has come for a general election to just get all of this sorted in one go? absolutely right. the liberal democrats have been calling for a general election for some time now. it is clear the conservative party is completely divided and out of touch. they don't have the policies touch. they don't have the policies to deal with people's problems like the cost of living and the nhs, as you mentioned. and i think people

just want rid of this conservative government. you know, i really think it's clear that because they are divided, and nadine dorries's resignation letter shows how divided they are, they are incapable of giving our wonderful country the leader that it is —— it deserves in these troubled times. so the earlier these troubled times. so the earlier the election is, the better.— the election is, the better. thank ou for the election is, the better. thank you forjoining — the election is, the better. thank you forjoining us _ the election is, the better. thank you forjoining us this _ the election is, the better. thank you forjoining us this morning. l thank you. a bit of sport. quite an excitin: thank you. a bit of sport. quite an exciting score, _ thank you. a bit of sport. quite an exciting score, but _ thank you. a bit of sport. quite an exciting score, but perhaps - thank you. a bit of sport. quite an exciting score, but perhaps not - exciting score, but perhaps not exciting score, but perhaps not exciting for that reason, if you are an england fan. fishd exciting for that reason, if you are an england fan-— exciting for that reason, if you are an england fan. and so close to the ruab an england fan. and so close to the rugby world — an england fan. and so close to the rugby world cup- — an england fan. and so close to the rugby world cup. this _ an england fan. and so close to the rugby world cup. this is _ an england fan. and so close to the rugby world cup. this is not - an england fan. and so close to the rugby world cup. this is not good l rugby world cup. this is not good news. , ., , , news. yes, two weeks yesterday, the start of the — news. yes, two weeks yesterday, the start of the rugby _ news. yes, two weeks yesterday, the start of the rugby world _ news. yes, two weeks yesterday, the start of the rugby world cup, - news. yes, two weeks yesterday, the start of the rugby world cup, and - start of the rugby world cup, and they are previous winners, england, from 2003. they have reached the final twice, from 2003. they have reached the finaltwice, including in from 2003. they have reached the final twice, including in france after that famous men in 2003, but they are heading back to france income —— in apparent rugby playing

disarray. they have been friendly, these matches over the course of the last few weekends, but they wouldn't necessarily have wanted to lose three out of four of them, including to fiji yesterday, which was supposed to be the momentum generating victory to send england on their way to france and twickenham against that tear to nation. �* , , ., ., , , nation. and they should absolutely be beatina nation. and they should absolutely be beating them, _ nation. and they should absolutely be beating them, right? _ nation. and they should absolutely | be beating them, right? regardless of the fact that these are times to try a new team members and test your squad and find your way to tinker away to the main tournament, it did not work out that way. five defeats out of the last six to england, the latest one yesterday at twickenham, beaten by fiji for the very first time. it's a different story for scotland and ireland though. they'll both head to france in more confident mood. joe lynskey rounds up the action. the rugby world cup starts in two weeks' time, and english expectations may have never been so low. this was history at twickenham

for fiji, but england were fragile. in four world cup warm—ups, they have now lost for the third time. this was a home sendoff meant to bring momentum. instead, the team they had never lost to surged through them. commentator: kuruvoli will score! one of fiji's greatest days, one of england's worst defeats. for steve borthwick�* side, there is so much to work on. scotland have hit their stridejust in time for take—off. russell with that outside of the boot belter! they broke through georgia and scored five second—half tries. now from murrayfield, it is on to marseille for an opener against south africa. the springboks are the holders, but ireland, too, are among the favourites. the world's number one side beat samoa, but onlyjust. a win by force and four points. there's just a fortnight left to fine—tune. joe lynskey, bbc news. british heavyweight daniel dubois says he has been cheated out of becoming the world champion. before he was eventually stopped

by oleksander usyk in the ninth round of their title fight in poland, dubois had floored the champion himself, but it was called a low blow and therefore didn't count. dubois was too upset about the decision to do a press conference, but we managed to catch up with him in his hotel room after the fight. i was thinking, what's going on here? this is a blatant shot. i told the referee it wasn't low, and the referee didn't even say it was low. he was holding his stomach. he couldn't move, he wasn't going to make it in time. he was out. that should have been a knockout. i think this needs to go further. it needs to be pushed, and this wrong needs to be corrected, because i should be a world champion right now. if you look at the top of the premier league this morning, it's got a very london feel. the first three clubs are all from the capital,

and they're led by west ham. for much of last season they flirted with relegation, but a debut goal for james ward—prowse sent them on the way to a 3—1win at brighton. west ham are top on goals scored after three matches. i'm thrilled because we have not won one for years, and coming here for a couple of years, you know, have been disappointing because the results, have been a change in the conference league, like the europa league a couple of years ago, so a couple of results when we came here were really important and we have not had them. so today was a really, really well—earnt three points, but i have to say brighton has done a really good job, but we did a very good job in other parts of the game. tottenham were top for a short time after they beat bournemouth 2—0 in the early kick—off, dejan kulusevski with tottenham's second. they also have seven points. so too do arsenal, but they dropped a couple at home to fulham, held 2—2 when a win would have taken them top. joao palhinha's equaliser in the 87th minute gave them the draw. manchester united were 2—0 down afterjust four minutes but came back to beat nottingham forest 3—2 at old trafford.

bruno fernandes's penalty provided the winner while everton's1—0 defeat to wolves has them bottom, and it means it's the first time in 33 years they have lost the first three games of a season. and they're also yet to score, which has never happened before. and crystal palace grabbed a point at london rivals brentford, joachim andersen's scrappy second—half goal securing a 1—1 draw. celtic manager brendan rodgers said his side did not deserve to beat stjohnstone after they drew 0—0 in the scottish premiership. the leaders are now level on points with second—placed motherwell, who scored a last—minute winner to beat kilmarnock 2—1. rangers are a point further back in third. they beat ross county 2—0, james tavernier with their second goal. rangers now face psv eindhoven in midweek in europe before taking on celtic in the first old firm derby of the season. while most british eyes were on the sprint relays on the penultimate night of the world athletics championships, it was ben pattison who stole

the headlines in budapest, providing one of the two bronze medals last night. natalie pirks reports. when anticipation turned to disbelief, ben pattison was having the night of his life. the men's 800 metres was wide open but pattison had played down his chances. the mind games were clearly working. he struck with the pack — a medalfirmly in his sites. during the pandemic, he needed heart surgery. he now has even more to sing about. my mate tommy wrote a song for me, "ben pattison is coming home "with a medal around his neck." tommy, you are right! after the medal, the joyful chaos of the 100 metre relay. the talent—packed us men's team were always going to be rapid, noah lyles is leaving hungary with a hat—trick of golds. italy delighted with a silver but the battle for bronze was intense. britain were agonisingly close.

disappointment for great britain. it was a season best but they were just pipped a bronze by jamaica. next up, the women's a x 100. as always, this was a battle between the us and jamaica — both teams chock—full with sprinting stars. but even without dina asher—smith britain executed their plan to perfection as daryll neita brought the baton home for bronze. commentator: it's bronze for great britain! _ really proud of the girls today. we got a medal and, yeah, a really inspiring thing to be part of today. that bronze takes britain's medal tally up to seven, matching what they won last year and there are still more chances for glory tonight when the curtain comes down on the championships. natalie pirks, bbc news. the formula one world champion, max verstappen, has put himself in the perfect position to keep the home fans happy at the dutch grand prix today. he's on pole again in his red bull, qualifying half a second quicker

than mclaren's lando norris. verstappen is chasing a record—equalling ninth grand prix win in a row. mercedes's george russell will start third, whilst his team—mate and seven—time world champion lewis hamilton could manage only 13th. for a third year in the row, there'll be a new name on the men's hundred trophy later today. last year's runners up, the manchester originals, will take on the oval invincibles at lord's. the originals booked their place in the final thanks to a stunning display from england white ball captainjos buttler. he hit 82 offjust a6 balls as the originals chased down 197 against the southern brave to win by 7 wickets. the women's eliminator was rained off, meaning the northern superchargers will face the southern brave later. frankie dettori's final season is continuing to add highlights to his legendary career. on what's likely to be his last day of rides at york, two more big wins. after taking the city of york stakes on the favourite kinross, he won the feature race of the day, claiming victory with absurde

in the ebor handicap. dettori is 52 now and has been riding since 1987 but he's retiring at the end of the year. 52 years old! one of those things to make you and me particularly old! and we all retire? is that ok? that would be nice! _ now it's time for click.

every august the city of edinburgh welcomes talent from all around the world as it becomes festival central, building itself as a greater celebration of arts and culture on the planet. everything becomes a stage here, notjust traditional comedy clubs and leaders but street corners and feeders, lecture theatres, where artists perform dance and comedy and cabaret and circus. everything for every taste. on top of the fringe, there's loads of other events, too. there's a film festival and the international cultural festival. but perhaps the most colourful is the royal edinburgh military tattoo. it is a true spectacle, and alasdair keane has been to the show. it's loud, it's bright, and there's a lot of tartan. this is the royal

edinburgh military tattoo. they've been holding it here on the castle esplanade since 1950. and this year's tattoo involves 800 performers, including bands from across the globe. the theme is stories. tonight's show is under way but i'm not here just to enjoy myself. earlier, i went behind the scenes. there are nearly 700 crew and technical experts working backstage. and another stat for you — 35 miles of cabling. up here is the control room where the technicians make the magic happen. hi. i'm alasdair. if you were to design a space to do a show like this, it would look nothing like this. it's too narrow. it's on a hill.

there's no straight lines anywhere. it's really quite a tricky space to work with. from our point of view, it's very difficult for us to put a loudspeaker system somewhere that isn't in someone's view. we do a lot of olympic opening ceremonies, that sort of thing. we deliberately design the show so that there's a technical area, a zone where there's no creative activity, and it's out of the view of the audience, where we can place loads of technology that doesn't get in anyone's way. we don't have that option here. of course, instruments like the pipes and others are really loud, but there's still lots of microphones and amplification and things. you're right, pipes are loud, but this is a big space and we're outdoors. so the sound of the pipes, even when there's 100 of them, can need reinforcement. that's not difficult to do. it becomes difficult when that sound source is moving with respect to the audience.

and to amplify that, the amplification has to be done in a way that matches the time domain or the sound arrival from the acoustic source. the reinforced source has to follow. from our point of view, we need to know within about a ten millisecond error where each microphone is going to be, and we need to be able to track that. now, there is a tracking system that we're using, so whenever we put a microphone on somebody, we also put a tag on that person, and then we can track them in three dimensions. we're not using that live during the show so, instead, we use it as a programming tool. this is the software that we use to do that. each one of these dots represents a microphone. anyone with a microphone has a tracker. so, this is where the musicians are split into two lines. they started at this point, they moved to this point over the duration of this cue, and this cue fires at this timecode value. traditionally, there wouldn't be a loudspeaker system. when massed pipes and drums are playing — there's 280 of them — it's pretty loud. of course, the show is also a big logistical challenge. we can't do much with physical sets because we have nowhere to store

them — it's a very tight space — so we basically craft the look and feel of the show through sound and light. the show is described visually and sonically through the equipment we're using. obviously, what's critical is that we're telling a story. it's not just about technology, but how you use it, and this is where our designers are really good at what they do. it's notjust gratuitous use of effect. it's using technology for the right reasons. one of the most evident pieces of tech is how they transform the walls of the castle. under here is two of the projectors, if we look up here. most of the performances are backed up by dazzling displays using state—of—the—art projectors. a medieval castle, though, is not a flat canvas to work on. talk me through some of the challenges. no. it's really, really quite complex. so, we've got 23 projectors hitting the castle. they also have back—ups in the case of anything failing, which of course it wouldn't do, butjust in case!

what's interesting about those is, they're all on this same plane up here. there's some on the floor below us. some are set to portrait, some are set to landscape, the reason being, we really have to hit the castle from all angles to be able to fill in, otherwise you'd get lots of shadows. those laser projectors display a 6k canvas. that's 6,000 pixels of horizontal resolution. over the three—week run, there will be 200,000 audience members — that's over 9,000 every night — so, the tech must deliver without fail. technically, it's a big challenge. there aren't that many projects like this, you know? there are very few, particularly in this setting. drumming. people are paying good money to be here and they expect a quality show and we want them to get the same experience every night, a top—notch experience. pipe band plays.

what a show. that was incredible. they've been putting this event on for decades but it's clear to see how technology is keeping it relevant for a new audience, both here in scotland and right around the world. plenty of the shows here at the fringe are simply shows where the audience can sit back and enjoy the action. but there are a fair few that are more interactive than that, and some go even further and invite the audience to take control of the performance itself. nick kwek loves being in control, so we sent him to find out more. that's right, spen. this year, i'm properly getting involved. wait a minute. don't think i'll be doing that. yep. and i'll leave this one to the professionals. instead, i'm off to see something much more.

on my level. he's benedictine. fiftine. laughter. robo bingo, the interactive brainchild of two it consultants turned live stage performers. it's a smartphone—powered comedy act, which involves a lot of moving parts — literally — and quite the set—up. set up the main projector first. the first thing i've got to do is connect to the wi—fi, which they have to install each night and is what powers the whole thing. my best friend glen — 10. we used to build invoicing systems for small to medium enterprises in the midlands, and that was boring. so, we stopped and we took our skill set to this show. and what a show it is. it's a tech—tastic pop—up bingo hall—cum—virtual arts class turned giant multiplayer crazy frog rock concert game show. got it? me neither.

and it is an excuse for us to show off our robotics that we have made in our living room. yeah, it's a series of useless inventions that we've created from various pieces that we found around the house. i think this is an old bit of shelfing, a football that was kicked into our garden and a bag—for—life that we cut up and stuck on. other bits have been built by the 3d printer and then broken as he's been crashed into the floor by the audience and glued together backstage before every show. the hand may have snapped a little... almost everything in the show is their own creation, including the artificial intelligence behind one hilarious round, where your artistic skill is pushed to its limit. that is the peter sutton patent pending circle accuracy algorithm that, on the whole, does an ok job of detecting whether an audience member has drawn a circle, and it gives it a percentage rank. and it gets it wrong

a lot of the time. no, it doesn't. bingo! oh, and they're controlling everything that happens from their guitar—keyboard contraptions and spectacular smart shirts live on stage. # on a little fishy... these are just the most advanced powerpoint clickers available on the market that we had to custom made. so we've got next scene in the show, previous scene, kick drum, snare drum. synthesiser, synthesiser. ship foghorn. small ship foghorn. medium ship foghorn. goodbye. i think after all that, i'm going to have to have a lie down! just as well, as i'm attending a sleep study. yawns. thank you for participating in our study. chicago—based troupe october brian are performing a quirky comedy show debuting their new sleep—to—sketch technology. this group will be the first ever to experience the newest model — the cube.

one volunteer. and tonight, by sheer chance, i'm the chosen one. all: engage the cube. engaged. now, obviously, this doesn't work, and i'm not really falling asleep, but the show must go on. perhaps the cube technology is not quite ready to ship yet! we have phones and we have other things where technology is omnipresent in our lives and we are over reliant on, and that's something we wanted to play with. stop that, nick. it's disrupting the study. we wanted to see how we could invent a sort of technology that people aren't yet scared of and now make them scared. yes, very scared. yeah. all: disengage the cube! time for a look at this week's tech news. and that's it from us from the edinburgh fringe festival 2023. it's been a joy to be back. i hope you've enjoyed our coverage, too. thanks so much for watching and we will see you soon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben boulos and sarah campbell. our headlines today: another tricky by—election for the conservatives after nadine dorries resigns with a scathing personal attack on rishi sunak. iam i am actually shocked that the prime minister himself has kind of opened the door on three hits at me from anybody. —— free hits at me. suspended by fifa, and facing mass resignations from his coaching staff —

the crisis in spanish football deepens over the behaviour of its chief, luis rubiales. in sport, this is not how england would have wanted to go into the rugby world cup. they lose to fiji for the first time in theirfinal warm up match, and head to france with five defeats from six games. and it was bronze for gb�*s women's sprint relay team — we'll get their reaction in about 20 minutes. good morning. we've got another day of sunshine and showers today. the showers will be heaviest and most frequent in the east. there could be some sunshine around as well. ——thunderstorms around as well. some drier interludes too, but i'll have more details coming up shortly. good morning. it'sjust after eight o'clock. it's sunday the 27th august... our main story: the prime minister faces another difficult by—election after the conservative mp nadine dorries finally handed in her resignation. the former culture secretary said she was stepping down "with immediate effect" 11 weeks ago, but stayed on to make inquiries about why she had been denied a peerage. she's accused rishi sunak of whipping up a "public frenzy" against her.

our political correspondent iain watson reports. last year she was a cabinet minister, but now nadine dorries has said she'll be leaving parliament for good. if you think you've heard that before, well, she initially announced she'd go back injune, but then decided to stay on to try to find out why she'd apparently been blocked from taking a seat in the house of lords. she is no stranger to controversy. she upset many in her own party a little over a decade ago when she got out of westminster during parliamentary time and went down under to take part in this reality tv show. but now she is finally leaving the politicaljungle and taking a swing at the current prime minister. in her resignation letter to rishi sunak, she tells him: she warmed to her theme in a mail on sunday interview. rishi sunak became prime minister without a single members' vote or a vote from the public.

no—one has voted for him to be in thatjob — nobody. and he immediately abandoned the manifesto that the british people in 2019 went out and voted for. they went out and they voted for borisjohnson, and they voted for a manifesto. both have gone. three short years, both have gone. nadine dorries was a close ally of the former prime minister borisjohnson, and she has denounced mps who ousted him as stupid, so her criticism of the current prime minister is not exactly a surprise. pressure from some of her colleagues at westminster and in mid—bedfordshire to quit have been increasing, and earlier this week some of her constituents told the bbc they also wanted her to go. she's been absent for so many years, and perhaps she should go. but i'm totally disappointed, and she should have - resigned and left. she denies letting her voters down. opposition parties haven't waited for her formal resignation to start preparing for a by—election.

she said she was going to resign two months ago and she has failed yet again the people of mid bedfordshire, as have the conservative party for allowing her to stay in place without any discipline stops i think it's a real belief the people of mid bedfordshire because they desperately— bedfordshire because they deseratel, . ~ ., , desperately need an mp who will be focused on them _ desperately need an mp who will be focused on them full-time. - the conservatives, too, have a candidate ready to go, and you do get the impression that nadine dorries sees some in her own party as her true opponents. iain watson, bbc news. our political correspondent helen cattjoins us now. good morning. i mean, this resignation letter, there were some very personal remarks against the prime _ very personal remarks against the prime minister and of course, he is now facing — prime minister and of course, he is now facing another by—election. yes, now facing another by-election. yes, and it's another _ now facing another by-election. yes, and it's another one _ now facing another by-election. yes, and it's another one of _ now facing another by—election. i2: and it's another one of those situations where on the face of it, this should be a safe conservative seat, nadine dorries won by nearly 25,000 votes back in 2019, but the

conservatives are trailing heavily in the polls still. you've got an mp living in pretty divisive circumstances. it makes it very tricky for the conservatives to defend. and we have, of course, during this parliament seen time and again those sort of size majorities being overturned, so it's going to being overturned, so it's going to be tricky for the conservatives to hold this, potential. what is interesting, i think there is in some of those other places we have seen that sized majority of return, what has become apparent pretty quickly during the campaign is which of the opposition parties is going to be the one that is saying, look, we are best placed to beat the conservative candidate here and rallying the anti—tory vote, what is interesting in mid bedfordshire is that both labour and the liberal democrats are both pretty stunts are claiming that that is them, labour who came second in 2019 saying there best placed to win it, the liberal democrats have pointed to examples where they have come from third in other places to do these big wins and basically saying this is our kind of seat, so i think that's

going to be interesting to watch play out during this by—election. as to when it happens, we won't know for a few weeks yet because they will need to be some bits of process that happen in parliament first and parliament doesn't resume until a week tomorrow.— parliament doesn't resume until a week tomorrow. for the rest of the news, it's over to ben and the latest lines from the ongoing story involving the spanish football team. yes, some dramatic twists in this one. spain's world cup—winning coach, jorge vilda, has condemned the behaviour of the country's football federation president. luis rubiales has been suspended by fifa for kissing the player jenni hermoso on the lips at their world cup victory last week. zoe conway reports. luis rubiales is looking increasingly isolated. his kiss ofjenni hermoso has led to his suspension by fifa, and now the team's coach, jorge vilda, has condemned his behaviour, saying in a statement: only on friday, vilda

was in the audience applauding as luis rubiales told an emergency meeting of the country's football federation that he would not resign. he speaks spanish. he continues to insist the kiss was consensual and has vowed to defend himself until the truth prevails. but within the game, pressure is mounting. growing numbers of players and managers are taking the side ofjenni hermoso, who says she did not consent to the kiss. the cadiz team carried a banner onto the pitch saying, "we arejenni". the seville team had written on their t—shirts "#seacabo". it means "it's over". in other words, they want him to go.

it's so unfair that one of the highest moments in spanish sport, not only women's sport but spanish sport, the second world cup that we won, has been stolen because of this behaviour. this is unacceptable, and i think this is not spain. the speed with which the sweetness of victory has turned sour is breathtaking. right now spain does not even have a women's team because they're refusing to play. the team's coaches are on strike too, and the spanish government is so fearful the chaos willjeopardise its bid to host the 2030 world cup that the sports minister, victor francos, has told reporters he has contacted fifa to plead that spain's bid must not be affected. in america, players in the national

women's soccer league are wearing wristbands saying, "with you, jenni". this dispute is now about so much more than the future of spanish football. it is about the role of women in the global game. zoe conway, bbc news. we can talk about that more with two spanish journalists a little later. police in florida say a gunman who has shot dead three black people in the city of jacksonville was driven by racial hatred. the attacker — a white man in his early twenties — later took his own life. armed with a semi—automatic rifle and a handgun, he killed two men and a woman at a discount chain store. the metropolitan police says it's investigating a potential cyber security breach at one of its suppliers. the force said the company had access to names, ranks, photos and pay numbers for officers and staff, and that it was working to understand what data, if any, had been accessed.

murderers whose offences have a sexual motivation face spending the whole of their lives in prison with no chance of being released under plans announced by the government. the law would be changed to place an expectation on judges that they take a whole—life term as their starting point in the worst cases. at least three us marines have been injured, one critically, after an military aircraft crashed off the coast of a north australian island during exercises. around twenty troops were on board. the incident happened on the remote melville island near darwin. thousands of people have gathered for the 60th anniversary of martin luther king's march on washington where he gave his famous i have a dream speech. it was a pivotal moment for the civil rights movement. members of dr king's familyjoined crowds on the national mall to commemorate the historic event. a large part of what he was speaking when he got to "i have a dream"

was not to leave people in hopelessness — that in spite of all of these difficult things that we still have to fight in terms of racial and economic injustices and inequities, i still have a dream that one day we will live in this kind of world, we will live in this kind of world. john lewis and waitrose are the latest to join supermarkets in cutting the price of their period pants. the retailer says it will reduce the price of some of the underwear by 20% in its stores from next week. charlotte winfield has this report. when it comes to our periods, we've always been made to feel a certain way. they've been growing in popularity for years, thanks in part to a wave of online adverts and tiktok videos which promote them as practical and eco—friendly. but period pants, which can be washed and reworn, are still classed as a garment and not a sanitary product by the uk government. that means they're subject to a 20% vat, unlike other period products,

such as pads and tampons, which have been exempt from the tax since 2021. let's get comfy. earlier this month one period pant manufacturer, wuka, joined forces with the high street chain marks & spencer to launch a campaign, "say pants to the tax," demanding that the treasury lifts vat. now a string of other retailers, including john lewis and waitrose, have joined m&s and tesco in voluntarily reducing the price by 20%. we believe that periods are not a luxury. sustainability is not a luxury. we want people who choose to live sustainable life, should not be punished, and this is clearly what's happening. period pants are taxed at 20%, whereas disposable are taxed at 7%. ——period pants are taxed at 20%, whereas disposable are taxed at 0%. in a statement, the government said it is committed to making sanitary products affordable and available to all, pointing out the decision to scrap vat on many products in 2021. it's time to start a new cycle.

period pants rose to popularity at the start of the pandemic as a more sustainable option, but it's a hard sell if you're having to pay more. charlotte winfield, bbc news. a special happy birthday... to britain's oldest man, who has turned 111 years old. his secret to a long and happy life? he says "moderation" in all things. john tinniswood — who was born in 1912 — was presented with a birthday card from the king and queen, and gave this advice during his celebrations. there's one word which helps through all things in life, i think, and that is moderation in all things. whether you're eating, whether you're reading, whether you're out walking, never overtax your system. wise advice. very happy birthday to

him from all of us here. moderation in all things, do we have moderation in all things, do we have moderation in the forecast? the weather is improving a bit, i can tell you that, over the next few days, we have had a mix of sunshine and showers. some sunshine out there this morning, this is the view in kent, blue sky and not a cloud. but later the day the cloud will build across other eastern parts of the country. really, for all, a mix of some sunshine but also showers through the course of the day, not quite as heavy or frequent as yesterday, low pressure drifting off towards scandinavia at the moment, front moving in from the west, fairly weak but this will bring a bit more cloud and rain to parts of northern ireland through the day, thenit northern ireland through the day, then it western parts of britain. further east, that drier star for eastern england, but showers will start to crop up and they could be heavy and thundery. for the likes of yorkshire right down towards kent, it's the sound that will see the bulk of the afternoon, some rain and

hail and thunderstorms mixed in, slightly drierfor parts hail and thunderstorms mixed in, slightly drier for parts commits scotland sing sunshine into the afternoon, but rain towards the west. only 1a for stornoway but temperatures up to about 22 further south across england, where you do see some coming through. and there should be some sunshine at times across reading and leeds festivals as they continue today. the chance of catching a shower, i think, especially more athletes but they should move through relatively quickly, also one or two showers for notting hill carnival in london but it should be a bit drier and brighter by tomorrow. that improving trend will be the case for much of the uk because of night tonight, the bulk of the showers will move away, the zone of cloud and patchy like rain will tend to fizzle out as it pushes its way eastwards. the mist and fog patches, temperatures getting down into single figures for one or two places, that is how we start the day on monday and monday is looking like a better day compared to the last couple, if you're looking for drier and sunnier weather, too. quite a lot of dry weather, too. quite a lot of dry weather, this area of cloud could produce a few spots of rain in parts of london and the south—east in the

morning, and one or two showers moving in from the north—west. under these sunny spells temperatures in these sunny spells temperatures in the north doing a bit better than today, 17 to 19, and again towards the south, up to about 21 celsius or so. that should feel pleasant with the lighter winds. moving on into tuesday, we have high pressure sitting in the atlantic but weather fronts moving in from the north—west, so that battle between high pressure trying to keep things dry but low pressure moving in and bringing more showers, so the bulk of the showers will be across parts of the showers will be across parts of scotland but we will see a few spots of rain pushing south across england and wales. still sunshine in between so not a bad day. 22 in the warmest spots but typically the mid to high teens further north. wednesday looks like the driest day of the middle part of the week, then it's returned to something more unsettled, sunshine and showers, many of us will see some of those showers around today. lovely, thanks. it's an image that's been seen around the world — the now suspended spanish football federation president, luis rubiales, kissing player,

jenni hermoso, on the lips, following the team's world cup win. despite mounting pressure for him to stand down, rubiales said he will fight the accusation that it was non—consensual. let's get more on the latest — we're joined now by spanish sports journalists, guillem balague and semra hunter. thank you both forjoining us. if i could come to you first, semra. there have been so many developments of the last couple of days but on friday we saw the spain women's coachjorge vilda uploading rubiales when he was standing there saying he was not resigning, and now he has come out and said that his actions were inappropriate and unacceptable, what do you make of that? for were inappropriate and unacceptable, what do you make of that?— what do you make of that? for me, it's a very — what do you make of that? for me, it's a very watered-down _ what do you make of that? for me, | it's a very watered-down statement. it's a very watered—down statement. i think it's a bit of a slap on the wrist for a luis rubiales because at the end of the day, they are very good friends, they support each other. and let's not forget at that same assembly luis rubiales in front of everyone said he would extend his

contract by four years and pay him half1 million euros a year, so why would jorge vilda all of a sudden the sudden desire to speak out against him? so, yes, there is a slight mention of criticism but for me it's not really that significant compared to everybody else here in spain. an incredible amount of support everyone is showing tojenni hermoso does a telling is the fact thatjorge vilda did not mention her in his statement, not her or her team—mates, there was no show of support or solidarity. and he is still in a job without the coaching staff, primarily. so for me, it's a shame you didn't use the opportunity to do the right thing. but again, as i say, i think it's just something to be taken with a bit of a pinch of salt. i don't think he really fully means the words he is actually put out there, as they relate to luis rubiales specifically. ii out there, as they relate to luis rubiales specifically.—

rubiales specifically. if we can brina ou rubiales specifically. if we can bring you in. _ rubiales specifically. if we can bring you in, guillem, - rubiales specifically. if we can bring you in, guillem, we - rubiales specifically. if we can | bring you in, guillem, we have rubiales specifically. if we can l bring you in, guillem, we have a situation where most of the players in the woman's national team are refusing to play, spain doesn't have a national team to feel right now, it's going tojudicial a national team to feel right now, it's going to judicial levels and there could be repercussions with that. how much do you think this distracts and takes away from what was an astonishing victory, a moment that should have been a national celebration for spain? as i am like this has been a line that's been used by many, it's challenge the success of the royal couple, but i'm an optimistic person by nature, i think we have seen one of the most important _ think we have seen one of the most important weeks in recent history for spanish politics, society and sport. _ for spanish politics, society and sport. and — for spanish politics, society and sport, and though i completely agree with semra _ sport, and though i completely agree with semra thatjorge sport, and though i completely agree with semra that jorge vilda could have been more strong in his words, ifeel— have been more strong in his words, ifeel that _ have been more strong in his words, i feel that considering the discrimination against women is systemic, — discrimination against women is systemic, it's notjust one person, and the _ systemic, it's notjust one person, and the law— systemic, it's notjust one person, and the law against gender violence has been _ and the law against gender violence has been around since 2004, the whole _ has been around since 2004, the whole thing to view life in a

hypothetically, fifa and the spanish football federation found you up and say, your spots observer, you know what you're talking about, how do we get out of this mess, what's most satisfactory way to undo the damage? debt if this, you're a sports observer, you know what you're talking about. i observer, you know what you're talking about.— observer, you know what you're talkin: about. . , talking about. i agree with guillem i think there _ talking about. i agree with guillem i think there has _ talking about. i agree with guillem i think there has to _ talking about. i agree with guillem i think there has to be _ talking about. i agree with guillem i think there has to be an - i think there has to be an investigation of the federation itself, because so many people are asking for the whole thing to be raised to the ground, to gut it and start again, because so many people feel like just cutting of the head of the snake, so to speak, removing luis rubiales, still not getting rid of the entire problem. the players themselves, for the better part of a decade, have been openly speaking about the patriarchal system within the federation and how they have been mistreating these women on a regular, daily basis. so in order to make real change, to effect real change, then you have to put the people that are adequate for the job in the position, you have to create

an environment that is safe, let's not forget this as a work place for these women. they have to feel as though they can be safe and in the past many of them have said they didn't feel safe to go to the spanish national team, so you have to... spanish nationalteam, so you have to... ,, ., , ., , to... semra, sorry to interrupt. has there been— to... semra, sorry to interrupt. has there been enough _ to... semra, sorry to interrupt. has there been enough reaction - to... semra, sorry to interrupt. has there been enough reaction from i to... semra, sorry to interrupt. has. there been enough reaction from male football players in support of their female compatriots, have you been disappointed in the number that has come forward? t0 disappointed in the number that has come forward?— come forward? to be honest, yes, i am disappointed. _ come forward? to be honest, yes, i am disappointed. it _ come forward? to be honest, yes, i am disappointed. it is _ come forward? to be honest, yes, i am disappointed. it is by _ come forward? to be honest, yes, i am disappointed. it is by my - come forward? to be honest, yes, i am disappointed. it is by my count, | am disappointed. it is by my count, i think it's only three, if i'm not mistaken. and it's borja iglesias, who has always been very outspoken when it comes to socialjustice, he was the first to say he would not go back to the spanish national team if called upon in solidarity, until this is punished. another player came out and was supportive... and a third. all three played for the same club, they are the only three who sets on on an individual level. we

also saw last night severe coming out wearing the hashtag on their shirts which means it's over —— sevilla, and i think it's referenced a tweet by the first female footballer to speak out in support ofjenni hermoso. and that's pretty much it. i haven't seen much else by male footballers. and it is very disappointing that more haven't come forward, haven't spoken out and said more in defence ofjenni hermoso because this is a real way to do so, because this is a real way to do so, because they have some power and a strong message would go a long way. guillem, to get your thoughts on the wide repercussions, is it too much, to suppose that this could spark the equivalent of a #metoo movement in spanish sport or more widely? yeah. spanish sport or more widely? yeah, i think, spanish sport or more widely? yeah, i think. yes. — spanish sport or more widely? yeah, i think. yes. but _ spanish sport or more widely? yeah, i think, yes, but again _ spanish sport or more widely? yeah, i think, yes, but again i— spanish sport or more widely? yeah, i think, yes, but again i tend - spanish sport or more widely? yeah, i think, yes, but again i tend to - spanish sport or more widely? yeah, i think, yes, but again i tend to be i i think, yes, but again i tend to be quite _

hunters remain undeterred. the biggest operation to monitor the surface of the loch since the 19705 is under way. with this new technology being used, it's very exciting for us. so, we've got underwater hydrophones being used. they're going down to a depth of 60 feet, listening to the sounds underneath loch ness. we've also been flying some drones with thermal imaging cameras over the top of loch ness, so we are using modern technology to help uncover some of these mysteries. hundreds are joining the search from all corners of the globe, some online, some in person. there's been so many spottings and so many tales about it that you have to wonder at some point where the stories come from, so it'd be nice to think that something did exist, if it did exist or if it still exists or happened at one point or another. it's just the mystery around it all. the not knowing fori definite, you know? yeah, there's a lot of people saying you cannot prove it but there's no l

proof that nessie is not there, so it'sjust a big mystery. - the story of nessie first caught the public�*s imagination in the 1930s. every so often, pictures appeared which seemed to show a strange creature in the loch and many have tried and failed to find an explanation. in the 19505, a live bbc programme attempted to solve the mystery scientifically. someone who had said they'd seen nessie was interviewed. what did you see through your telescope? well, i saw this animal which i thought was a big monster going up the loch. what was it like? it was dark brown in colour and very rough skinned — the skin of an elephant. what length would you say it was? 0h, i'd say 35 feet. various theories have been put forward to explain nessie, from giant eels to optical illusions, but some sightings for the cameras have been less than convincing.

# oh, there is a monster in loch ness # a fact you cannae hide...# still, nessie's long attracted tourists to a remote part of the highlands, helping support manyjobs and bringing area internationalfame — that's one reason monster hunters around the world are joining the latest search. let me tell you, scientists can get things wrong because scientists told us there was no such thing as giant squids, that they were all extinct, only for us to have recently discovered that giant squids do still exist, so why can't there be something in loch ness? nessie, though, remains elusive. loch ness is some 800 feet deep and the mystery of its murky depths may never be fully explained. jamie mcivor, bbc news. the search for nessie proving somewhat elusive, but what isn't elusive is the search for medals at the world athletics championships. i see what you did there, very good!

breakfast continues on the news channel but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. fantastic sport. we will get a bet on the athletics, but you are starting with less good news. if you are a rugby — starting with less good news. if you are a rugby fan. _ starting with less good news. if you are a rugby fan, you _ starting with less good news. if you are a rugby fan, you feel— starting with less good news. if you are a rugby fan, you feel you - starting with less good news. if you are a rugby fan, you feel you go - starting with less good news. if m. are a rugby fan, you feel you go to are a rugby fan, you feel you go to a world cup as a contender, if not the chance to reach the final as they have done three times in recent memory, and twice since 2003. i am not sure you are feeling it now, because things haven't gone well. injuries, suspensions and on the field form isn't great. five defeats in the last six games, the latest yesterday. the latest defeat came yesterday at twickenham — as they were beaten by fiji for the very first time. it's a different story for scotland and ireland, though. they'll both head to france

in more confident mood. joe lynskey rounds up the action. the rugby world cup starts in two weeks' time, and english expectations may have never been so low. this was history at twickenham for fiji, but england were fragile. in four world cup warm—ups, they have now lost for the third time. this was a home sendoff meant to bring momentum. instead, the team they had never lost to surged through them. commentator: kuruvoli will score! one of fiji's greatest days, one of england's worst defeats. for steve borthwick�* side, there is so much to work on. scotland have hit their stridejust in time for take—off. russell with that outside of the boot belter! they broke through georgia and scored five second—half tries. now from murrayfield, it is on to marseille for an opener against south africa. the springboks are the holders, but ireland, too, are among the favourites. the world's number one side beat samoa, but onlyjust. a win by force and four points. there's just a fortnight left to fine—tune.

joe lynskey, bbc news. british heavyweight daniel dubois says he's been cheated out of becoming the world champion. before he was eventually stopped by oleksander usyk in the ninth round of their title fight in poland, dubois had floored the champion himself. but it was called a low blow and therefore didn't count. dubois was too upset about the decision to do a press conference. but we managed to catch up with him in his hotel room after the fight. i was thinking, like, well, what's going on here? this is a blatant shot. i told the referee it wasn't low, and the referee didn't even say it was low. he was holding his stomach. he couldn't move, he wasn't going to make it in time. he was out. that should have been a knockout. i think this needs to go further. it needs to be pushed, and this wrong needs to be corrected, because i should be a world champion right now. celtic manager brendan rodgers said his side did not deserve to beat stjohnstone after they drew 0—0 in the scottish premiership. the leaders are now level on points with second placed motherwell —

who scored a last minute winner to beat kilmarnock 2—1. rangers are a point further back in third. they beat ross county 2—0. james tavernier with their second goal. rangers now face psv eindhoven in midweek in europe — before taking on celtic in the first old firm derby of the season. we've just been hearing from one of the two british bronze medallists on the penultimate night of the world athletics championships in budapest. but while the women's a x 100m relay team might have met expectations, ben pattison certainly exceeded them. pattison came third in the 800m. his reaction said it all — a look of disbelief over what he'd achieved on his championship debut. he becomes the first british man to win a world 800m medal since peter elliott in 1987. all day i've had people telling me i am going to get a medal, and then halfway through i believed it my

mate wrote a song for me. you were right. the formula one world champion max verstappen has put himself in the perfect position to keep the home fans happy at the dutch grand prix today. he's on pole again in his red bull — qualifying half a second quicker than mclaren's lando norris. verstappen is chasing a record equalling ninth grand prix win in a row. mercedes george russell will start third, whilst his team—mate and seven—time world champion lewis hamilton could manage only 13th. the saturday weakness is the strength on sunday. it's going to be an exciting race. i'm sure max will be having a sunday drive and waving to the crowd on his way tomorrow, but hopefully we have a good fight with alex, lando and the rest of the guys. for a third year in a row, there'll be a new name on the men's hundred trophy later today. last year's runners up, the manchester originals, will take on the oval invincibles in the final at lord's. the originals won the eliminator thanks in part to a stunning display from england white ball captainjos buttler. he hit 82 offjust a6 balls

as the originals chased down 197 against the southern brave to win by seven wickets. the women's eliminator was rained off — meaning the northern superchargers will face the southern brave later. great britain's max poole is second after the opening stage of cycling's final grand tour of the year, the vuelta a espana. the dutch team he rides for, dsm, were the suprise winners of the team time trial that got the race under way in a rain—swept barcelona. former tour de france winner geraint thomas is 20 seconds off the lead after his ineos grenadiers team came eighth. the race will end in madrid three weeks today. it was a day of mixed results for two british tennis players as they tried to make it into the us open main draw. liam broady fell short — beaten by japan's sho shimabukuro in three sets. but lily miyazaki qualified for a grand slam main draw for the first time — recovering from a break down to win the deciding set 6—a against viktoria hruncakova. the first round of the us open starts on monday. frankie dettori's final season

is continuing to add highlights to his legendary career. on what's likely to be his last day of rides at york, two more big wins. after taking the city of york stakes on the favourite kinross, he won the feature race of the day, claiming victory with absurde in the ebor handicap. dettori is 52 now and has been riding since 1987. but he's retiring at the end of the year. rory mcilroy�*s hopes of back—to—back fedex cup victories look over. he trails norwegian leader victor hovland by 11 shots. mcilroy is tied for eighth spot on nine under par going into the final round of the traditional season—ending tour championship in atlanta. mcilroy won the title last year and holds the most fedex cup wins with three. and whoever eventually wins will claim $18 million, just for winning. if you come in the top ten, you are a millionaire guaranteed. better start practising golf.

if you're a dog lover, you may have come across the growing trend of dog cafes, which are popping up all over the uk. two—legged orfour, they allow dogs and owners to dine equally, pulling up a seat at the same table. luxmy gopal went to take a look at the menu. these hungry hounds are joining their owners for a bite to eat. your beef steak is served, little one. the pawsitive cafe in notting hill caters for canines as well as for their human lunch companions. among the items on the dogs' menu today are beef steak, with a selection of seasonal vegetables, meatballs garnished with courgetti, chicken pizza orfor the more refined pooch palette, a full afternoon tea. and all diners, whether two—legged orfour, are served equally. the idea of this cafe is for owners

and their pets to be able to enjoy a wide range of delicious food together at the same table. i always think it's nice to be able to go somewhere with your dog. there's not many places in london that you can both eat together. they might provide you with water, or they might provide you with something, but not a specific menu for them. and i think that's really important. so they are part of the family, so i feel that you can go out and eat with them. it'sjust nice to be able to stop off somewhere when i'm working in london and not have to leave him at home. what do you and milo like about this place? we both love the food, we love the location, and we love that we get to meet other dogs and other dog owners. we do our nightly walk. she makes me bring her here to check that the cafe is closed. _ so yeah, she loves it. when it comes to being dog friendly, this venue considers itself ahead of the pack. top dog domino sometimes even helps out as maitre d'. this is domino, by the way. my baby. domino's owner is alicia ung, who set up the cafe after sniffing out an opportunity. i created this space to give dog owners an alternative space to come

in to enjoy their meal and with their dogs to go around and wander. because i know that there's a lot of places in london that don't allow dogs, or even if they...even if they do allow dogs, their dogs need to be very well—behaved and they can only stay in one space, like, at one spot. and they don't... they don't serve any dog food or things like that. giving man's best friend a seat at the table has brought pet owners here together. and the verdict from the pups themselve? no comment, but perhaps "paws" for thought. luxmy gopal, bbc news. let's take a wider look at this. we're joined now by dog behaviourist, shirley king. good morning. thank you forjoining us on the sofa. you saw a little bit of the dog cafe there. what is your thoughts on people eating with dogs at the table? fine if that is what

you want to do, but you need to look at the problems that could arise. they are pack animals, they have a hierarchy and they need to know where they are in that. if you go and sit at the table with them, possibly owners give them food from their mouth to the dog's mouth, it signals the wrong thing to the dog, which will cause a pack problem. the dog won't know where it is, and there could be aggression over food. i noticed the dogs were sitting close to each other. if they want something that dog has, there could be an aggression issue. there are quite a number of things where problems could start with food. horse problems could start with food. how ruickl problems could start with food. how quickly would _ problems could start with food. how quickly would the dogs learn that behaviour? if it was a one—off, rare treat that they were allowed to sit at the table, with that very quickly

lead to putting your sunday roast on the table, turning your back, finding it is gone? ibis the table, turning your back, finding it is gone?— the table, turning your back, finding it is gone? as quick as that. finding it is gone? as quick as that- you _ finding it is gone? as quick as that. you can _ finding it is gone? as quick as that. you can change - finding it is gone? as quick as that. you can change the - finding it is gone? as quick as i that. you can change the pack structure any time, overnight. the dog will get the wrong message and think it is ok, and children also seeing this will get the wrong message and think it is ok, to have the dog at the table. it isn't because of what it signals to the dog. because of what it signals to the do. ~ ., because of what it signals to the do i _ . ., ., because of what it signals to the do“. ., ., because of what it signals to the do. 2 ., ., dog. what do you recommend. in lockdown we've _ dog. what do you recommend. in lockdown we've seen _ dog. what do you recommend. in lockdown we've seen an - dog. what do you recommend. in | lockdown we've seen an explosion dog. what do you recommend. in i lockdown we've seen an explosion of people taking on dogs. as an expert, what do dogs need, how should they be treated? , , ., be treated? they need guidelines and consistency and _ be treated? they need guidelines and consistency and to _ be treated? they need guidelines and consistency and to know _ be treated? they need guidelines and consistency and to know the - be treated? they need guidelines and consistency and to know the rules. i consistency and to know the rules. they need to know they are the bottom of the pack and you are at the top. any children in the house need to understand as well because it isn't as simple as, it doesn't matter. you can get away with it for five years and then the dog has

enough and acts, or the dog is not allowed what it thinks it should be, so it can be a dangerous signal. it is a hard balance because the number of people who say they never let their dogs sleep in their beds and then they do, because they love their dogs so much and want them to be a human member. thea;t their dogs so much and want them to be a human member.— be a human member. they need to understand — be a human member. they need to understand they _ be a human member. they need to understand they aren't _ be a human member. they need to understand they aren't human, - be a human member. they need to| understand they aren't human, they have their own rules. with some dogs, you would get away with it because of their temperament. they allow for your mistakes and understand it. with others, you won't. a border collie, he was nervous, and if i allowed him in my bed, he would have been biting me. i had to keep strict rules. but the last one we could do everything wrong and get away with it. you need

to know your dog's temperament i know what you can and can't do, i don't put it in dangerous situations. they fight or flight. they can fight in a cafe, they are on the lead, i would presume, which causes other issues. you are putting the dog in a dangerous situation. you mentioned where people have children. children will be physically smaller than many of the dogs. how do you instill in the dog that child is still above them in the pack? br; that child is still above them in the ack? j , ., , ., ., that child is still above them in the ack? j, .,, ., ., , the pack? by signals. you eat first, the pack? by signals. you eat first, the dog eat — the pack? by signals. you eat first, the dog eat lasts. _ the pack? by signals. you eat first, the dog eat lasts. in _ the pack? by signals. you eat first, the dog eat lasts. in the _ the pack? by signals. you eat first, the dog eat lasts. in the olden - the pack? by signals. you eat first, i the dog eat lasts. in the olden days we didn't have as many behaviour problems because the dogs ate the scraps. now we are feeding them before we eat, as and when, instead of following the hierarchy rules.

that causes... it is like saying, you are the managing director to the dog and a material lady and then telling the managing director what to do. they will listen to you sometimes, and other times they won't. and this is where the problems come from, not signalling the right things, treating them as babies and humans. you need to educate the children, as soon as they can touch a dog, you educate them. don't do that, dogs bite. it is really fascinating. useful, practical tips. thank you for coming in. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. something of a dog's dinner of weather, heavy downpours, but a bit of sunshine coming. sunshine and showers the story in north berwick, but they should ease away. we will

see more showers cropping up across east and parts of england, some heavy and thundery. some brighter weather developing across western parts, but we have another friend pushing in from the atlantic, bringing cloud and rain, physically to northern ireland. the next few hours, heavy showers for scotland and merseyside, and this line showers easing away, but more cropping up in the east and the rain spread to northern ireland. it is this stone from yorkshire to kent where we will see most of the downpours, heavy and thundery bringing hailand downpours, heavy and thundery bringing hail and lots of rain. they are localised so a pattering of sunshine. temperature —wise, 1a—22 , rather cool in the north—west with rain, but not too bad further south and east. you might catch a passing shower, but mainly tried, more

likely to catch rain at the lease festival. forthe likely to catch rain at the lease festival. for the notting hill carnival festival, festival. for the notting hill carnivalfestival, some festival. for the notting hill carnival festival, some showers festival. for the notting hill carnivalfestival, some showers but they should ease and tomorrow is better, more sunshine. the bulk of the rain eases this evening and overnight. this line of cloud going to be east, petering out. one or two misty patches and temperatures getting down into the high single figures, holding up in double figures, holding up in double figures in most towns and cities. on monday, the bank holiday, and an improved spell of weather. a few showers in the south and some towards the north—west, but hit and miss. most of us staying dry tomorrow, temperatures warmer today, the high teens in scotland, and 21 degrees in the south. further ahead, another area of low pressure for tuesday. higher pressure in the atlantic tries to building, but the

weather front will win, they have a heavy showers in scotland. the cloud could produce rain for central parts of england and wales but sunshine either part. temperatures generally in the high teens, possibly the low 20s on tuesday. a drier day on wednesday, but after that, a dry spell, then unsettled. city spells, plenty of showers towards the end of the week. thank you, sarah. she was the ten—year—old singing sensation from scotland, who captivated audiences week after week, going on to win the uk's first tv talent show. but lena zavaroni's sudden shot to stardom cost her dearly. now, her story is being told in a new play at the edinburgh fringe, as pauline mclean reports. lena zavaroni shot to fame on the first of the tv talent shows. in 197a she won over the audience

again and again and again. little miss lena zavaroni, opportunity knocks. # la, la, la, la, la...# opportunity knocks was similar to britain's got talent today, because they have a huge variety of others. as well as the singers and the bands, there were people with variety acts, doing strange muscular things, so they did have that variety. but while lena was the first of the talent show winners, she was also one of its first casualties. by the age of 13 she was suffering from anorexia. by 15, clinical depression. when i see the ferry turn the corner, as victor, lena's father, said to me, you can imagine lena was barely ten

years old with her manager, waving goodbye from the stern of the ferry, going to london, which she had never even visited before. lena says she had never even seen a traffic light before. # when i first went to manhattan...# lena zavaroni died when she was just 35 years old in 1999. the actress who plays her in the show was only a toddler. it's important for me to put my own spin on it, as well, because i'm never going to be her. no—one is going to be lena zavaroni, she's one in a million, but trying to capture and essence of who she was. and i think that will bring a lot ofjoy to people who watched her on tv growing up. quite nostalgic, in a way, but then for people who didn't know her, to sort of actually go, wow, this was a big thing. like, this was huge back in the day. it's a story which is still relevant

almost 50 years on, and they hope to continue telling it. i love that. some of the gems you can find at the edinburgh fringe festival. i have never been. i need to go. we are going somewhere completely different to edinburgh. for many, moving somewhere remote and living off grid can be a dream scenario — but very few make it a reality. this is flat holm, a beautiful, but isolated island off the welsh coast — home to simon parker, and only simon parker. looking to change his life he took on the job as the islands warden, and, the landlord of its only pub. simonjoins us now. firstly, what made you take that
