tonight, as the whole city becomes the world's largest ultra low emission zone. lam in i am in eltham lam in eltham in i am in eltham in south—east london right on the edge of the existing zone with just one day to go until it covers all boroughs, i will have the details for all drivers. two people die after becoming trapped in their car on a flooded road in liverpool. in sport, the world athletic championships comes to an end with keeley hodgkinson missing out on gold again as she wins silver in the 800 metres final. good morning. today is a day of sunshine and showers but if showers than we saw over the weekend and if you are in the sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm. all of the details later. it's monday the 28th august.

our main story. from midnight tonight, the cost of driving anywhere in london will increase as the whole city becomes the world's largest ultra low emission zone. owners of the most polluting vehicles will have to pay a daily charge of £12.50 for driving in the zone as tom edwards reports. the ultra low emission zone or ulez expands out to cover all of london tonight at midnight. it means your vehicle has to comply with emissions standards or you have to pay £12.50 a day. it will operate 2a hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year apart from christmas day. the changes have made life difficult at this car dealership in windsor. we are struggling. one, we can't find the stock at the prices we're used to paying. prices are just escalating so fast. and then what we're finding is if we do secure vehicles at a higher cost, that cost, the additional cost gets pushed onto the customer, which they're not happy to pay. so it's not viable.

the principle behind the ultra low emission zone or ulez is that the polluter pays and the aim is to get drivers to switch away from older, more polluting vehicles. broadly, what that means is if you've got a petrol vehicle that was first registered before 2005 or a diesel first registered before 2015, you'll have to pay the £12.50 a day charge. you can check if your vehicle is compliant on the tfl website. city hall says this scheme will bring cleaner air to millions. improving the air is an incredibly important thing for us to be doing and all and any increase in air quality is to be welcomed, because it leads to a corresponding reduction in the number of premature deaths. that's the responsible thing to be doing. but opponents say the nine month lead—in time was too quick and the costs are too high. five councils failed to get it stopped in court, and many councils in the home counties aren't allowing advanced warning

signs on their land. nonetheless, from midnight tonight, the largest pollution charging zone in the world begins. tom edwards, bbc news. we will be getting all the information you need to prepare for that big change for millions of drivers in the next 2a hours here on breakfast. brea kfast. police forces in england and wales have committed to pursuing all "reasonable lines of inquiry" in an effort to solve more crimes. ministers want to crack down on offences like phone thefts and shoplifting as part of an effort to restore confidence in policing. our home editor mark easton reports. smart doorbells, dashcams, mobile phones and the power of google mean more crime victims believe they've obtained good evidence to identify the culprit. but there's been rising frustration that officers are not going after offenders of lower level crime such as shoplifting, vandalism and theft.

now the home office says it's got agreement from police chiefs that they will pursue all reasonable lines of inquiry if a perpetrator could be apprehended. since 2015, forces have had to say how many of the offences they record result in someone being charged. back then it was 16%, but now it's just under 6%. political pressure to improve that number is coming from all sides. i think the key is in the use of the word reasonable. now, what's reasonable for one force won't necessarily be reasonable for another, given the types of crime that they're investigating. and it's absolutely right that police will always base it on threat, harm and risk. but certainly in my own force and otherforces, i do think that there are times when we should be investigating further and it's absolutely reasonable and the public and the government are right to expect us to do so. but police chiefs point out there are reasons for the fall in detections. although overall crime is at historically low levels, improved recording of offences

means their caseload is rising and more of the crimes being reported are complex offences to investigate, notably rape and abuse cases. 0n the one hand, this does sound like a no brainer. anybody who's had their car stolen or their phone stolen wants the police to pursue every line of inquiry. at the same time, we also know that, for example, rape and sexual assault, the prosecution and conviction rate for those are incredibly low. we have a tsunami of male sexual violence towards women and girls as it is. if the police are being told you've just got to put even more resources into tackling, say, carand phone crime, that means there's going to be less time and less focus on those really serious violent offences that quite rightly the public are concerned about. so what does reasonable mean? that's the question which lies behind today's announcement. some officers might ask if it would be reasonable to downgrade a complex sexual abuse case to pursue more shoplifters. mark easton, bbc news.

a man and a woman have died after being trapped in a car on a flooded road in liverpool. police say it's thought the vehicle was submerged under a bridge and are appealing for witnesses. flood warnings remain in place for parts of merseyside. spain's football federation is set to hold an urgent meeting today to discuss the crisis which has engulfed the sport in the country. president luis rubiales has been suspended by fifa for kissing player jenni hermoso on the lips following spain's world cup victory last week. he has insisted the kiss was consensual. aston villa's team bus was hit by a brick after the club's win against burnley in the premier league yesterday. the brick was thrown at the windscreen from a footbridge on the m65 motorway. burnley says it's saddened and dismayed by the incident. lancashire police are appealing for any information. the scottish covid—19 inquiry will hold its first preliminary hearing today. the review, which will complement the nationwide uk inquiry, will focus on the effect of the pandemic in scotland,

and how the government in holyrood responded. europe's biggest street party, the notting hill carnival, has brought the streets of west london alive this bank holiday. the annual celebration is in its 55th year with more than two million people expected to attend. jon donnison reports. musical youth. europe's biggest street festival kicked off over the weekend with the traditional children's parade. feathers and a whistle the order of the day. i love it! why do you love it? it's just fun, everyone�*s vibing and it's cool. do you guys agree? yeah! ahead of today's main event, sunday at the carnival has i love it, i love the vibes, love the dancing, love the food. ijust thought i'd bring the kids out here to experience the good vibe. absolutely love it, it's

temperatures, 1a in lerwick, 19 in belfast, a high of 21 or 22 as we push down towards the south of england. through this evening and overnight, the weather front advances across scotland and northern ireland and weakening. clearer skies behind, further south a bit more cloud but nonetheless clear skies. these are our temperatures, nine to 13 degrees. if you are out and about, it will feel a bit chilly. tomorrow the front journeys further south, a fairly weak if there still, not much more than a band of cloud, and another weather front moves south across scotland. that will bring showery outbreaks of rain. in between dry weather and sunshine. temperature wise, 1a in the north to 22 as we push down towards the far

south—east. during wednesday, a lot of dry weather around, still some showers dotted around the north of scotland, through wales, but it looks like we could see some sharper ones developing across eastern scotland and england as we go through the day. don't be surprised if you hear the odd rumble of thunder. another weather front waiting in the wings in the south—west but aside from this, there will be sunshine around. temperatures ranging from 1a in the north to 20 as we push down towards the south. so it could be an awful lot worse. thank you, that is about as good as we can expect. am i right in saying we can expect. am i right in saying we are almost at the end of meteorological summer already? tap meteorological summer already? top ofthe meteorological summer already? top of the class. — meteorological summer already? tm of the class, sarah. 0n the ist of of the class, sarah. 0n the 1st of september it is the start of the media logically autumn, can you believe it, where has the year gone?

but nice to end with a yellow, orange positive outlook. earlier this month, officials in san francisco voted to allow driverless taxis to operate 2a hours a day butjust eight days later one of the cars collided with a fire engine. the crash has reopened concerns about the vehicle's safety, and some people have resorted to placing traffic cones on the cars to stop them from working. james clayton reports. one of the things that surprises many visitors when they arrive in san francisco are these things. driverless robo taxis. they're all over the city. this is me ordering one on my phone. one minute away, there's a cab just around the corner. but before i could even get in, a member of the public approached us with a warning. i think they're not safe cos i saw a guy that was in the crosswalk at night, almost got hit by it. well, thank you very much, sir, cheers. not exactly the ideal thing to hearjust before you get

into a cab with no driver. i've been in these cars a few times now and it never changes, it's always totally surreal. it always feels nerve—racking when you first start, and it's really surprising how quickly itjust becomes totally normal. but the first few sort of roads you come across, t—junctions, you're kind of always slightly apprehensive. let's see how this does. 0ur ride was perfectly uneventful, but the city itself is divided over these cabs run by two companies, waymo and cruise. earlier this month, san francisco officials green—lighted the use of robo taxis for 2h hour use, only to then restrict their use after an accident between a driverless cab and a fire engine. authorities are investigating. the flip—flopping is emblematic of a city unsure about whether to embrace these robo taxis. and some have even taken to the streets in protest. a group called safe streets rebel has been disabling the cars by putting cones on their bonnets.

a video they put out injuly has gone viral. first, find a cone. make sure their car is empty and repeat. it's not entirely clear whether what they're doing is legal so a spokesperson for the group agreed to be interviewed under the condition of anonymity. how would you describe your group? are you vigilantes, are you a campaigning group, what are you? we're definitely not vigilantes. i think we're just a group of people, we don't like cars and we're doing what we can about it. however, driverless car companies have hit back, saying what the group is doing is bad for road users and is vandalism. waymo says what you're doing is vandalism. how do you respond to that? it's not vandalism because that requires property damage and we're not damaging anything. as soon as you take the cone off the cars are right back to working condition and on their way. they hope to expand across america and beyond. but others here in the city hope they ultimately fail to convince authorities the technology is ready. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco.

quarter past six. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph says the home secretary suella braverman has told police forces they must investigate every theft and that ignoring low—level crime is "completely unacceptable". it's part of an effort to drive down crime rates. we will be speaking to the home secretary at 7.30 this morning. the times leads with plans by the home office to fit gps tags on people arriving in the uk illegally, to prevent them absconding. the paper says it's to deal with the lack of detention spaces for illegal migrants. the guardian leads on new research that's found that more than half the british diet is made up of ultra—processed foods which have been linked to heart attacks and strokes. it's lead to calls for urgent action from governments.

been exploring her local waterways near suffolk. i'm nicola crockford and during lockdown i discovered the complete joy of snorkelling in rivers. nicola crockdown is a project officer with the rspb and she loves river snorkelling. most people snorkel in the sea on holiday, but no, nicola likes to stay closer to home. and today she was in the river lark. when you're in that water, there's nothing else that exists, no phones, nothing. you're just completely absorbed by this world and the wildlife, you have an intimacy of relationship that you just don't have anywhere else. you know, the birds fly away, you know, you can't really have a relationship with an invertebrate. but the fish, they come

and they look at you eye to eye through your mask and it's just fantastic. river snorkelling sounded slightly, how can i put this politely? slightly unhinged! so i actually asked if i could join in and off we went. there's a bit of swimming involved, but it's more scrambling, really. 0ften i'm in very shallow river, so it's too shallow for proper swimming. so essentially what you're doing is you're just crawling along and basically it's your arms that are doing most of the work, maybe a little bit your knees. but then when you're in faster flows and deeper, then you'll be using your fins more. does it take you to another world? yes, i would say river snorkeling does.

water quality is an issue for nicola. she's one of a growing number of citizen scientists taking samples and reporting problems. but it's really the peace and solitude, the connection with nature, which really matters to her. mike higgins, bbc news. he was found in a cage with dozens of other dogs, living without food or water, but now one lucky dog has seen his fortunes turn around. beau the spaniel was rescued by rspca inspectors several years ago, and after years of love and recouperation, he's been selected to compete in next year's crufts. lets take a look at his journey. i'm bronia macmillan, and this is beau. 0k, go, run, run! go, go! also known as captain barbosa, that is his kennel club name

that he competes under. 0k, go, go, go tunnel, go tunnel! my name's tom hutton, i'm an rspca inspector. you're a mummy�*s boy, aren't you? we came across beau in the west sort of circumstances. we came across beau in the worst sort of circumstances. we executed a warrant in 2019, he was one of 36 dogs living in horrendous conditions. once he was in our care, myself and bronia, we already had two spaniels and we kind of took a liking to him. so we decided what difference would a third make? oh, good boy. he had been in such terrible conditions. so when he came, it was very much a case of getting him used to life and getting him enjoying just being with us and having human contact. he'd clearly never had a cuddle before. stay, stay. so when i started doing agility with him, it was started just for fun and just to get him doing new things. and so then it very quickly was a case of, oh, he really enjoys it, actually, he could do really well

if we took this more seriously. so we did and we've trained hard. and from there he's just gone on in leaps and bounds. tunnel, ready? go, go. well, it's the story we all like to see and it's certainly why i do the job. you know, bronia's put in so much work with him over the last two years and to go from poor little raggedy puppy beau to competing at crufts in a final, it's unbelievable. ok, go, run, run, run. it's going to be such a thrilling experience and i'm so excited. and to say that this little rescue dog got there is just incredible. it's a big moment for bronia to go out onto that green carpet at crufts. i think that will be the ultimate moment for us both from where he's come from to now, where he is walking out there on national television, competing with some really high up dogs. you couldn't make it up. even if we go wrong, even if we get eliminated, if he runs really happy and he is excited to be there,

then i will come away feeling like i've won the lottery. because with all of his confidence issues, he can come out there and just fly and just love it, then that's all i really ever want to do with him, is just to have fun playing at this game, yeah. that was sweet, wasn't it? very gorgeous _ that was sweet, wasn't it? very gorgeous well _ that was sweet, wasn't it? very gorgeous. well done, _ that was sweet, wasn't it? very gorgeous. well done, beau, - that was sweet, wasn't it? very gorgeous. well done, beau, wej that was sweet, wasn't it? very - gorgeous. well done, beau, we have to follow that — gorgeous. well done, beau, we have to follow that sure _ gorgeous. well done, beau, we have to follow that sure he _ gorgeous. well done, beau, we have to follow that sure he gets _ gorgeous. well done, beau, we have to follow that sure he gets best - gorgeous. well done, beau, we have to follow that sure he gets best in . to follow that sure he gets best in show! ., , ., , ., , show! lots of fresh air this morning. _ show! lots of fresh air this morning. we _ show! lots of fresh air this morning, we are _ show! lots of fresh air this morning, we are running l show! lots of fresh air this - morning, we are running around show! lots of fresh air this _ morning, we are running around with beau, out and about river snorkelling, and there we will take you to one of those historic taught courses. —— chalk horses. but it seems the oldest of them all is actually getting smaller! geeta is in uffington investigating this morning.

two million people are expected to attend the world's second biggest carnival to celebrate caribbean culture. it's the adults�* day parade later. one family told us what to look out for. oh, carnival — lovely atmosphere, brilliant food, good music, good vibes, positive energy, trying to bring love and everyone together — all our loving family. hurray! for the first time, bbc news will be live streaming the carnival parades. head to bbc iplayer to check that out later today. london fire brigade's assistant commissioner has praised crews for tackling this fire in east london on friday and for ensuring no one was hurt. around 100 firefighters were sent to the flats and business centre in bow. the cause of the fire is still being investigated. the rac has raised concerns over the refusal by some councils to install warning signs for the expanded ultra low emission zone. the expansion starts tomorrow. it'll impose a daily charge of £12.50 on non—compliant vehicles. kent, essex and thurrock councils haven't signed an agreement with tfl

to install the signs. sadiq khan has reiterated there is financial support available for those wanting to change their cars. what i say to those who've got concerns, is reassure them i've been listening. please check whether your vehicle is compliant. 90% of cars driven in outer london are already compliant. if it's not compliant, you're eligible for support. tfl's latest superloop service launched over the weekend — meaning there are more ways to get to heathrow airport. the new sl9 express bus service links heathrow airport with harrow via northolt and hayes. more routes are planned to connect up more of outer london in the coming months. let's take a look at the tubes now. minor delays on the district line. part closures on the overground and piccadilly line. planned closure of the waterloo & city line. on to the weather with kirsty mccabe. good morning.

the rest of the bank holiday weekend looks pretty decent, especially after the heavy showers we've seen over the past few days. so it's sunny spells and some scattered light showers today. we have a weak weather frontjust clearing away. that's what will bring in a few showers with it, but you will be unlucky if you catch one. so some brighter sunny spells to start the day. a bit more cloud bubbling up as the day goes on and a few light showers moving through on those light north—westerly winds. top temperatures 19—21 celsius. that's 70 fahrenheit. as we go through the night, the winds stay light. there will be some clear spells here and there and the temperatures will drop to around 9—12c. the outlook for the rest of the week — it is going to turn more unsettled by the time we get to the end of the week. but for most, it is a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. some of the showers will turn heavier as we head towards friday, for example. temperatures generally into the low 20s.

that's it from us for now. we'll be back in half an hour. back to sarah and jon. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. from midnight tonight, the cost of driving anywhere in london will increase for motorists with older vehicles as the whole city becomes the world's largest ultra low emission zone. this was the original ulez area, marked in red. as you can see, to start with it only applied in the very centre of london. in 2021, it expanded to inner london, which is the area inside the north and south circular ring roads. from midnight tonight, it expands again — to cover outer london, meaning all 32 london boroughs will now be inside the zone.

it means an extra five million people will live in the ulez, which is 72 times bigger than the original area. what does all this mean? well, generally, if you drive a petrol vehicle first registered before 2006, or a diesel vehicle first registered before 2016, you'll be charged £12.50 to enter the zone. transport correspondent katy austin joins us from eltham. it all starts at midnight? welcome to eltham in southeast london. you can see the sign warning drivers they are entering the current zone. we are on the boundary, a few minutes drive behind the camera, you get onto the south circular and you are out of the existing zone bit from tomorrow it expands to cover a

bigger area, all of the london boroughs. some big destinations people might go to art in the area such as heathrow, chessington world of adventures. the rules are that if you drive into that zone, there is a 12.50 charge if your vehicle does not meet certain emissions standards. it is not all vehicles liable to pay that charge. only the older, more polluting. it means a lot of people who live in london or drive into the city regularly, has led them to think about switching cars to those that comply with the standards. in london there is help towards that with people applying for grants up to £2000 for cars, to scrap the existing car and get one that does not have to pay the charge. 13,000 grants have been

approved so far. the mayor of london sadiq khan and clean campaigners in —— insist it is to clean up pollution and improve public health. it has been criticised, including for the financial impact on people and businesses at a time when the cost of living pressure is high. and there was a legal challenge launched ljy there was a legal challenge launched by five conservative councils which failed but neighbouring county councils are still unhappy and they are refusing to put up signs on the boundary warning drivers they will enter the new expanded zone. and there has been vandalism of cameras. the mayor of london has insisted and carried on with his plan. and preparations have continued for it to go live tomorrow so after all the debate of the past months about what is the right way to clean up the air without hitting people too hard in the pocket, it is

happening from tomorrow. thank you. cities across the country are watching closely and might follow. sport now. an interesting week with the world athletics championships. overall positively for team gb. the final night in budapest, ten medals in total is the best in 13 years and matches what they did back in 1993. we hoped for a gold medal on the final night but it did not happen. it is not bad. we had two bronze medals in the men's and women's relays and keely hodgkinson won silver at the commonwealth games, olympics, the world championships last year and it was silver again last year and it was silver again last night in the women's 800 metres final. but it was really close.

a leap for glory. kenya's joy was keely�*s pain yet again. keely hodgkinson has been the world leader this year, but there were plenty of threats in the 800m, not least the woman who beat her to commonwealth gold — kenya's mary moraa. commentator: keeley looks pretty relaxed at the moment, _ but has she got anything in her legs? moraa has some finish on her and, in the battle for the line, it was hodgkinson who ran out of track. mary moraa's going to take the gold for kenya. keely hodgkinson takes the silver again. orphaned as a toddler, using her mother's memory as motivation, moraa's victoryjig comes straight from the heart. but hodgkinson believes she'll be dancing soon enough. i really did believe i was going to win. one of these days i will get the top spot. today, it's just not meant to be. the 4x400m relays were the last event. world champions the us were miles ahead of the pack. but the european champions, britain, brought home the bronze.

commentator: brilliant performance for the british quartet. _ and in a showdown worthy of the finale, the dutch women turned orange to gold on the line. she's done it! relegating jamaica to silver. femke bol is amazing! britain's battling third place was their tenth medal. those two bronzes mean they've smashed last year's medal haul. the relays bringing the curtain down on a successful championships for both budapest and britain. natalie pirks, bbc news, hungary. it was eventful at st james' park. liverpool produced a stunning fightback at newcaslte to maintain their unbeaten start to the new season. when trent alexander—arnold had a moment to forget here — it didn't feel like it was going to be their day. former evertonian anthony gordon putting newcastle in front.

and moments later it went from bad to worse — liverpool were reduced to ten men with captain virgil van dijk sent off. a straight red for that. but they stayed in the game and snatched victory with two late goals, both from substitute darwin nunez — liverpool's hero with a 93rd minute winner. i'm really happy that they properly, and having got this reward, because last year, actually, i'm not sure, was it, the second match when he got his red card. so this year obviously the season starts now. a bit later but with a super positive thing and really happy for him. you won't tell me but does he start next week? - we will see. i think we've got a lot to look forward to, we've got a team that is very strong, but we're going to have a few bumps on the road. today is a bump, a disappointment, but we have to be strong enough to take it and bounce back. but that's the beauty of this game, you can never say for certainty what is going to happen. manchester city are the only team left in the premier league with a 100% record, but they left it late to extend their perfect start

to the season to three matches. they were leading 1—0 at sheffield united, but the newly promoted team thought they'd grabbed a shock point whenjayden bogle scored five minutes from time. but they were level for only three minutes — city weren't down for long. rodri with a rocket to send them back to the top of the league. i think we did a great effort even though football is like this. you try, you finally score, and not a good, how do you say in english? situation for us, a mistake, we conceded a goal in 88, difficult. but they are a talented team. we overcame the situations and finally we won. i think we deserved today. but football doesn't understand about this. you have to score and be sure that you don't do mistakes so happy because the work was great. 99.5% of the time we were getting things perfect. and that's what you've got to do

to get the points against them because that wasn't a below—par city performance, it was a good city performance. and we produced almost as good a performance. so sheffield united's wait for their first points of the season goes on — just as it does for burnley. for a second successive home game, they conceded three — matty cash scoring twice on his 100th appearance for the club as villa won 3—1. in the scottish premiership, st mirren missed the chance to go top after conceding a 100th minute equaliser against aberdeen, as the two sides drew 2—2. dundee beat hearts 1—0 in the day's other game. whilst in the scottish women's premier league, rangers missed the chance to go top after drawing 1—1 with glasgow city. brenna lovera with glasgow's equaliserjust four minutes after rangers had taken the lead. elsewhere, leaders celtic beat dundee united 9—0.

in the women's competiton. they beat the northern superchargers in their final by 34 runs. the victory saw brave captain anya shrubsole lifting the trophy in herfinal game before retiring. amid all the chaos around him, max verstappen kept his cool to win the dutch grand prix in front of his home fans — and secure a record—equalling ninth win in a row. starting on pole, verstappen lost the lead early on — but went back in front shortly after. heavy rain with eight laps to go forced a red flag and a 45—minute delay but when the race resumed, verstappen stayed in control to win, to move 138 points clear in the standings. fernando alonso was second, pierre gasly third. lewis hamilton and lando norris sixth and seventh respectively. norway's viktor hovland hit a superb 7—under par 63 to win the tour championship and fedex cup title in atlanta hovland led by six going into the final round but that lead was trimmed to three strokes with six holes still left to play.

he birdied the final three holes though, to win by five strokes. his prize money — a cool £14.1 million. and the prize money wasn't quite the same here — but what a moment for england's todd clements, who has won his first dp world tour title at the czech masters. the 26—year—old, 394th in the world, hit nine birdies in his final round to finish on 22 under overall — one shot clear of fellow englishman matt wallace. the final tennis grand slam of the season — the us open — gets under way today with defending champion iga swiatek and three—time winner novak djokovic both playing later. there's only one british player to look out for on the opening day, but it'll one to remember for lily miyazaki as she makes her grand slam debut after making it through qualifying. she's up against russia's margarita betova in round one — a player ranked over 800 places below her. good luck to lily. six more british

players in action tomorrow. the paralympics get under way in exactly one year in paris as britain look to build on the success they enjoyed in tokyo two years ago. they won a total of 124 medals, including 41 golds. andy swiss has been to find out more about how preparations for next year's games are going. ready to make an impact. britain's para table tennis team preparing for next month's european championships, but they know the ultimate goal is exactly one year away. rob davies won paralympic gold at rio in 2016 and, after missing the last games through injury, he told me the paris paralympics can't come soon enough. yeah, it's a huge motivation. paris is onlyjust over the pond and it would be nice if all my family could get over there to watch me. that's been my real fire, really, to get to paris.

and i'm just going to keep going and hopefully i'll qualify and then hopefully i can do some good. britain's recent paralympic form certainly bodes well. they finished second in the medals table in tokyo, winning 41 golds. so what can they expect in paris? well, earlier this month, the city held a test event in paratriathlon. it wasn't entirely smooth. the swimming leg had to be cancelled because of the river seine's water quality. but it showed off the city's famous beauty and its sporting appetite. after covid meant there were no fans in tokyo, they're hoping for more than three million next year — a new paralympic record. to give to the athletes the, let's say, platform that they deserve, which is full stadia, spectators, viewers around the world. but, you know, to feel the warmth of the crowds will be amazing for that. and i do believe these games will be transformational, not only in paris, not only in france, but around the world. so i can't wait for these games to happen.

great britain's most decorated paralympian ever. and britain once again will be hoping to lead the way. this summer has seen an array of impressive performances, from dame sarah storey�*s 36th paracycling world title to another wimbledon crown for alfie hewitt and gordon reid. the challenge now is to make sure next year's celebrations are even bigger. andy swiss, bbc news. we will be speaking to the paralympianjody we will be speaking to the paralympian jody cundy later we will be speaking to the paralympianjody cundy later in the programme who is looking forward not only to straightly come dancing but his eight paralympics, which is incredible. amazing. we will talk to him about that and strictly. here's carol. with the weather for everyone who is thinking about getting out and about. todayis about. today is not a bad day. we are looking at sunshine and showers.

many will miss the showers altogether and in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. we have whether front sinking south producing showers. around the mediterranean, yesterday, stormy conditions. a gust of wind up to 75 mph and torrential rain bulb. it will be windy in the west. the italian met service have named the area of low pressure as a storm. closer to home, showers in scotland, northern ireland, wales and the south—west but a lot of dry conditions and many starting with sunshine. through the day, more cloud. more showers. more sunshine across central and eastern scotland. the cloud building to the west heralding the arrival of the next front. in the sunshine it will feel pleasant with a high up to 21. as we head through the evening and

overnight, the front pushes across scotland and northern ireland, into northern england and ahead of its cloud, some clear skies. behind it showers in the of scotland. under the clear skies, feeling cool, cooler than the temperatures suggest which indicate the temperature in towns and cities. tomorrow, this is the front which will journey southwards and eastwards. we will be looking at cloud and showers. the other whether front in scotland sinking south bringing showers for you and getting in potentially to northern ireland at times. between, a fair bit of sunshine. temperatures range from 14—21 as we push down towards the south—east. through the week until wednesday, low pressure falls away. we start to see a ridge

building from the west across the north. we are looking at showers in scotland and northern england and wales through the day. later, some showers in eastern scotland and england will be sharp and thundery. away from that, sunshine continuing and temperatures on wednesday, 14-20. as and temperatures on wednesday, 14—20. as we go through the week, things are relatively quiet. relatively quiet. thank you. now, let's talk about this cute little creature — the red squirrel. it's still relatively rare to see one in the uk, and even harder to capture on camera.

for the last two years, film—maker terry abraham has dedicated his time to documenting the lives of the animals in the lake district. let's take a look. it's a labour—of—love project and it was all born, really, from volunteering for the penrith and district red squirrel group after the pandemic. as you can probably see, they're very quick, so they are difficult to film. so you need a lot of patience. so a lot of the filming i've done for the documentary has been 100 frames a second to slow things down, so we can appreciate the grace and beauty of them. that one is proving it now — running across and bounces across the boulders. one of the stars of the documentary is princess oscar, a rescued red kitten. and sarah macneil, one of the volunteers of the local reds

charity, becomes herfoster mummy, if you like. and that story sort of crops up throughout the documentary, so it's touch and go whether she survives and is returned back to the wild and, thankfully, she becomes queen oscar. at the moment, while her eyes are closed, i need to do this in case she's gone to the toilet on the cotton pads. usually, the mother would do this, but, obviously, you know, mummy's not here any more. those pictures are glorious. some of them. some of them slightly strange. terry filming red squirrels like we have not seen before. really cute, baby red squirrel. let's focus on that.

it's been sitting on a hillside in oxfordshire for 3,000 years and can be seen for miles around, but it seems the uffington white horse has actually been shrinking since the 1980s. geeta pendse is there. in the beautiful sunshine there. how come it is shrinking? there are lots of reasons of which i will tell you shortly. as you mentioned, this is the uffington white horse. i am standing at the head, and the reason why there are people behind me is because they are part of the annual re chalking. where they come to make sure it stays white. it has been shrinking and archaeologists are trying to do something about that. i have taken a look at why it is so special. you can only fully appreciate it from a

distance. seen from miles away, the uffington white horse in oxfordshire is considered britain's oldest chalk figure. leaping across the head of the ridgeway slope, it's thought to date back to the late bronze age, around 3,000 years old. and it's thanks to the annual work of volunteers on the ground that means we can still see this ancient animal marking. yes, a bitjust over there. using around 15 tonnes of chalk extracted from a local quarry, volunteers have travelled from near and far to help with the weeding and re—chalking. my wife grew up in a village just down there and i grew up on the other side of the world, but i remember reading books about the white horse and it's amazing to be able to add something to it. i'm researching a book on british art and this is 3,000 years old. so i thought what better way to get

hands—on with british art than to come and do a bit of weeding, as it turns out. and i saw you pounding away. how do you find it? it's harder work than i thought it was going to be. but, yeah, i'll take a break and go back to my parents. have a strong wrist, because it can be very tiring, and be dedicated because it's a lot of fun. not only restoring and maintaining this wonderful figure that we've got, but also an opportunity for people to actually get hands on heritage. we say that we want you to understand that you're in the footsteps of the ancestors. without human intervention, the horse would simply grow over, over about 20 years. and for people to be able to contribute to its legacy and then go away and look back and say, well, hey, i did my bit that day, kept the horse going — it's the feel—good factor. there's certainly a feel—good factor for layla and her family who travelled two and a half hours from dudley. well, you get dirty and if you get dirty,

then you're having a lot of fun, and that's always the way. what's the best bit about hammering? er, you feel powerful, like thor. over the centuries, the annual re—chalking became a well—known large—scale public event — so much so that, in 1857, it had to be banned because 30,000 visitors showed up, many reluctant to go. well, now, it's carefully managed by the national trust so that people can take part whilst also protecting this figure. and preserving the figure is going to require more than just re—chalking. since the 1980s, archaeologists have been noticing the white horse become thinner and now there are plans to restore its original outline. in particular, the neck of the horse was starting to narrow quite a lot. so the project involved a drone survey comparing the imagery taken from that to an image taken in 1939

— aerial photograph — overlaid one on the other and that said to us that in 80 years, the figure had diminished by almost 50%. so it is important to take steps to start rectifying that. for the time being, though, keeping the uffington horse white is the task at hand, or, if you're feeling a bit sleepy, a task for dad. it was lovely to see people of different ages and from far afield coming to do the re—chalking. as we heard in the film, the white horse is shrinking and to find out more, i am joined by is shrinking and to find out more, i amjoined by adrian, an archaeologist for the national trust. why is it shrinking and what do you plan to do about it. the head and neck are — do you plan to do about it. the head and neck are shrinking _ do you plan to do about it. the head and neck are shrinking a _ do you plan to do about it. the head and neck are shrinking a little - do you plan to do about it. the head and neck are shrinking a little bit - and neck are shrinking a little bit over the last 30—40 years. to do with natural processes because we are on a hillside with turf

are already compliant. if it's not compliant, you're eligible for support. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the district line. there are also part closures on the dlr, overground and piccadilly line and a planned closure of the waterloo & city line. there's a good service running on all the other lines so far. for all the latest travel news where you are on the roads and the rail, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kirsty mccabe. good morning. the rest of the bank holiday weekend looks pretty decent, especially after the heavy showers we've seen over the past few days. so it's sunny spells and some scattered light showers today. we have a weak weather frontjust clearing away. that's what will bring in a few showers with it, but you will be unlucky if you catch one. so some brighter sunny spells to start the day. a bit more cloud bubbling up as the day goes on and a few light

showers moving through on those light north—westerly winds. top temperatures 19—21 celsius. that's 70 fahrenheit. as we go through the night, the winds stay light. there will be some clear spells here and there and the temperatures will drop to around 9—12c. the outlook for the rest of the week — it is going to turn more unsettled by the time we get to the end of the week. but for most, it is a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. some of the showers will turn heavier as we head towards friday, for example. temperatures generally into the low 20s. that's it from us for now. we'll be back in half an hour, but for now i'll hand you back to sarah and jon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. our headlines today. the cost of driving anywhere

in london goes up for many drivers from tonight, as the whole city becomes the world's largest ultra low emission zone. i ultra low emission zone. am in eltham in south—e. right i am in eltham in south—east london, right on the edge of the existing zone, withjust right on the edge of the existing zone, with just one day to go until it expands to cover all london boroughs. two people die after becoming trapped in their car on a flooded road in liverpool. in sport the world athletic championships comes to an end with keeley hodgkinson missing out on gold again as she wins silver in the 800 metres final. good morning. today is another day of sunshine and showers, fewer showers that we saw at the weekend, many will miss them all together and if you are in the sunshine, it will feel pleasantly warm. it's monday the 28th august. our main story.

from midnight tonight, the cost of driving anywhere in london will increase as the whole city becomes the world's largest ultra low emission zone. owners of the most polluting vehicles will have to pay a daily charge of £12.50 for driving in the zone as tom edwards reports. the ultra low emission zone or ulez expands out to cover all of london tonight at midnight. it means your vehicle has to comply with emissions standards or you have to pay £12.50 a day. it will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year apart from christmas day. the changes have made life difficult at this car dealership in windsor. we are struggling. one, we can't find the stock at the prices we're used to paying. prices are just escalating so fast. and then what we're finding is if we do secure vehicles at a higher cost, that cost, the additional cost gets pushed onto the customer, which they're not happy to pay. so it's not viable.

the principle behind the ultra low emission zone or ulez is that the polluter pays and the aim is to get drivers to switch away from older, more polluting vehicles. broadly, what that means is if you've got a petrol vehicle that was first registered before 2005 or a diesel first registered before 2015, you'll have to pay the £12.50 a day charge. you can check if your vehicle is compliant on the tfl website. city hall says this scheme will bring cleaner air to millions. improving the air is an incredibly important thing for us to be doing and all and any increase in air quality is to be welcomed, because it leads to a corresponding reduction in the number of premature deaths. that's the responsible thing to be doing. but opponents say the nine month lead—in time was too quick and the costs are too high. five councils failed to get it stopped in court, and many councils in the home counties aren't allowing advanced warning signs on their land.

nonetheless, from midnight tonight, the largest pollution charging zone in the world begins. tom edwards, bbc news. other cities are watching closely to see what happens in london. we're joined now by our transport correspondent, katy austin. many people were hoping there might be a rethink and it might not happen. be a rethink and it might not ha en. , ., , be a rethink and it might not ha en. , . , ., happen. they might have been at the ma or has happen. they might have been at the mayor has stuck— happen. they might have been at the mayor has stuck to _ happen. they might have been at the mayor has stuck to his _ happen. they might have been at the mayor has stuck to his guns, - mayor has stuck to his guns, insisted that it is a necessary extension to clean up the air and that means that from tomorrow, we are going to have this big function of ulez. i'm right on the edge of the current ultra low emission zone, you can see the sign warning drivers they are about to head into it, tomorrow all london bars will be covered. it doesn't affect people who just live in covered. it doesn't affect people whojust live in london —— boroughs

will be covered. it doesn'tjust affect people who live in london, it affects people who come in, some places like heathrow, chessington world of adventures will be inside the zone. so it means £12 50 if you enter the zone if your vehicle does not meet the emissions standards. it's older, more polluting vehicles. if you don't pay the charge, there is a fine if that is not paid within a few days. there have been continuing concerns about the financial impact on people and businesses who need to switch vehicles or are going to have to pay the charge. at the time when there have been cost of living pressures. the mayor of london has pointed out there is a scrappage scheme which means you can get money towards the cost of scrapping your car to get a compliant one if you live in london. it is going to go ahead from tomorrow. it is going to go ahead from tomorrow-— it is going to go ahead from tomorrow. ., ,, , ., , . ., tomorrow. thank you very much, for ex-alainin tomorrow. thank you very much, for exnlaining all— tomorrow. thank you very much, for explaining all that. _

a man and a woman have died after being trapped in a car on a flooded road in liverpool. police say it's thought the vehicle was submerged under a bridge. our reporter mairead smyth is at the scene of the incident this morning. good morning. can you tell us what we know about what happened? yes. we know about what happened? yes, this is such a — we know about what happened? yes, this is such a tragic _ we know about what happened? is: this is such a tragic story, impacting this area of liverpool. i am standing on queens drive, the road is still closed, this incident happened on saturday night. i live very close by and the rain was so heavy on saturday night, but it caused severe flooding here. this is an area that gathers rainwater in times of heavy rain, but there are reports that perhaps a pipe may have burst in this area as well to cause such a high volume of water. just under the bridge behind me. this is where the car became trapped,

passers—by tried to help the man and woman inside the car so it was very traumatic for people who live locally to be witness of that incident. the couple were taken to hospital where they sadly died. police are investigating what happened here, local councils have raised this issue before, impacting this area of queens drive. the area will be closed until investigations find out what led to such a high volume of water and how the high —— how the couple became trapped here on saturday night. police forces in england and wales have committed to pursuing all "reasonable lines of inquiry" in an effort to solve more crimes. ministers want to crack down on offences like phone thefts and shoplifting as part of an effort to restore confidence in policing. our home editor mark easton reports. smart doorbells, dashcams, mobile phones and the power of google mean more crime victims believe they've obtained good

evidence to identify the culprit. but there's been rising frustration that officers are not going after offenders of lower level crime such as shoplifting, vandalism and theft. now the home office says it's got agreement from police chiefs that they will pursue all reasonable lines of inquiry if a perpetrator could be apprehended. since 2015, forces have had to say how many of the offences they record result in someone being charged. back then it was 16%, but now it's just under 6%. political pressure to improve that number is coming from all sides. i think the key is in the use of the word reasonable. now, what's reasonable for one force won't necessarily be reasonable for another, given the types of crime that they're investigating. and it's absolutely right that police will always base it on threat, harm and risk. but certainly in my own force and otherforces, i do think that there are times when we should be investigating further and it's absolutely reasonable and the public and the government are right to expect us to do so. but police chiefs point

out there are reasons for the fall in detections. although overall crime is at historically low levels, improved recording of offences means their caseload is rising and more of the crimes being reported are complex offences to investigate, notably rape and abuse cases. on the one hand, this does sound like a no brainer. anybody who's had their car stolen or their phone stolen wants the police to pursue every line of inquiry. at the same time, we also know that, for example, rape and sexual assault, the prosecution and conviction rate for those are incredibly low. we have a tsunami of male sexual violence towards women and girls as it is. if the police are being told you've just got to put even more resources into tackling, say, carand phone crime, that means there's going to be less time and less focus on those really serious violent offences that quite rightly the public are concerned about. so what does reasonable mean? that's the question which lies behind today's announcement. some officers might ask if it would be reasonable to downgrade a complex sexual abuse case

to pursue more shoplifters. mark easton, bbc news. aston villa's team bus was hit by a brick after the club's win against burnley in the premier league yesterday. police said the brick was thrown at the windscreen from a footbridge on the m65 motorway as the team headed home after their 3—1 win. lancashire police are appealing for any information. the scottish covid—19 inquiry will hold its first preliminary hearing today. the review, which will complement the nationwide uk inquiry, will focus on the effect of the pandemic in scotland, and how the government in holyrood responded. a record number of people in the uk are now borrowing from family members to help them buy property. new research shows nearly 320,000 homes are expected to be purchased with financial support from relatives this year which is almost half of all homes bought by those under the age of 55. spain's football federation is set

europe's biggest street party, the notting hill carnival, has brought the streets of west london alive this bank holiday. the annual celebration is in its 55th year with more than two million people expected to attend. jon donnison reports. musical youth. europe's biggest street festival kicked off over the weekend with the traditional children's parade. feathers and a whistle the order of the day. i love it! why do you love it? it's just fun, everyone's vibing and it's chill. do you guys agree? yeah! ahead of today's main event, sunday at the carnival has more of a family focus. i love it, i love the vibes, love the dancing, love the food. ijust thought i'd bring the kids out here to experience the good vibe. absolutely love it, it's so amazing, honestly. important to show our children the caribbean history from our parents coming over here and what they used to do. so it's carrying on the tradition

of coming to carnival. and of course, part of that tradition is the music. some of it up tempo... # summertime... some a little more laid back. this group comes to carnival every year on roller skates. and by the end of the bank holiday weekend, more than two million people are expected to have attended. jon donnison, bbc news. and for the first ever you can watch all the action from the notting hill carnival live on the iplayer. it is going fully high—tech. 14 minutes was seven, if you're going

to the carnival or doing something else for the bank holiday, here is the weather. good morning. if you are going to the carnival there is a chance of a shower later on, for many of us it is sunshine and showers but fewer showers than yesterday. if you are just stepping out, here are the temperatures. not a particularly cold start to the day unless you are standing around outside. we have a lot of dry weather and sunshine to start with but some showers peppering the west of scotland. this cloud will break up later and there will be more sunshine. a few showers across northern ireland, sunshine and showers, blue skies across northern england, east anglia and towards the south. for the midland, wales and the south, a few showers. fairweather cloud bubbling up but showers developing, not as pitiful

as the beacon. light winds, thick cloud heralding the arrival of a new weather front which will start to show its hand in the north—west. these are the temperatures, in the sunshine it will feel quite pleasant. the weather front is sinking southwards getting into northern england by the end of the night, head of it cloud across england and wales with one or two showers. behind it clearer skies and a peppering of showers. this weather front weakens as it pushes steadily southwards, some spots of light rain or showers, southwards, some spots of light rain orshowers, behind it southwards, some spots of light rain or showers, behind it we have further showers and in between brighter skies and also sunshine. the weather this week is going to be fairly quiet until the end of the week when we will see some rain.

following the trial and sentencing of lucy letby, there have been growing calls for more to be done to hold nhs managers accountable after it was revealed consultants repeatedly raised their concerns to leaders. a code of conduct asks they act in the best interest of patients, and listen to warnings but there is nothing in place to ensure the code is applied. labour say that if it wins the next election, it would create a regulatory body with the power to suspend managers for serious misconduct. we're joined now by shadow minister for employment rights, justin madders. good morning, thank you forjoining us this morning. perhaps for clarity for our viewers, us this morning. perhaps for clarity for ourviewers, if us this morning. perhaps for clarity for our viewers, if you could tell us what the situation is at the moment, the difference between managers and clinical staff which explains why you think this regulatory body is so important. yeah, sure. the issue is that clinicians, doctors, nurses and other health professionals in the nhs have their own regulatory bodies where they can be held accountable

for failures where they can be held accountable forfailures in where they can be held accountable for failures in the stand that those bodies set, so you have this situation where someone is a clinician and a manager, but if they arejust a manager, there is no mechanism for them to be dealt with if they don't deal with important safety issues in the way that we would want to see. there have been a whole string of reviews and recommendations put forward over recent years which have suggested there needs to be some sort of regulatory body to deal with these issues so we are saying if we get into government, we will implement. what does that mean in practice, what powers would a regulatory body have how would it work. it what powers would a regulatory body have how would it work.— have how would it work. it would be somethin: have how would it work. it would be something we _ have how would it work. it would be something we would _ have how would it work. it would be something we would consult - have how would it work. it would be something we would consult the i have how would it work. it would be l something we would consult the nhs workforce on exactly how it would operate but it would be similar to the way the regulatory bodies work for other nhs professionals, there

will be a clear set of standards that need to be applied across the board, there will be the power in extreme cases to disport people from working in the nhs they fell below the standards. we have seen people in management going off somewhere in the nhs in recent years and not being held to account for failures they have caused in other trusts, that's something which has to be dealt with. $5 that's something which has to be dealt with. �* , ~' ., dealt with. as we know, the government _ dealt with. as we know, the government has _ dealt with. as we know, the government has ordered i dealt with. as we know, the government has ordered an| government has ordered an independent inquiry into the lucy letby case, but for what you are thinking from this case and other cases over the years, would a regulatory body been able to have made a difference? i regulatory body been able to have made a difference?— regulatory body been able to have made a difference? i don't think any reuulato made a difference? i don't think any regulatory body _ made a difference? i don't think any regulatory body would _ made a difference? i don't think any regulatory body would be _ made a difference? i don't think any regulatory body would be able i made a difference? i don't think any regulatory body would be able to i regulatory body would be able to stop some of the most appalling examples such as lucy letby, happening in the first place, but it would ensure that when clinicians

raise concerns, there would be greater emphasis on the manager to take patient safety concerns more seriously, do proper investigations and deal with them in a way that i think hasn't happened at the countess of chester. this think hasn't happened at the countess of chester. this isn't the first time that — countess of chester. this isn't the first time that calls _ countess of chester. this isn't the first time that calls have - countess of chester. this isn't the first time that calls have been i countess of chester. this isn't the l first time that calls have been made for some sort of regulation. one of the criticism that is made is it is another introduction of red tape, potentially costly, when we know that the nhs is really stretched at the moment, it is really what the organisation needs? i the moment, it is really what the organisation needs?— the moment, it is really what the organisation needs? i think we have seen enough _ organisation needs? i think we have seen enough examples _ organisation needs? i think we have seen enough examples over- organisation needs? i think we have seen enough examples over recent| seen enough examples over recent years where patient safety issues have not been dealt with properly by management across the nhs. clearly there are many examples of where it is dealt with correctly but there have been far too many where it has not been dealt with, to show that there is a wider problem here within there is a wider problem here within the nhs. these regulatory bodies are often run by way of an application

and registration fee and those covered by it so it might end up not being an overall cost to the nhs. we have got more than enough evidence now to show that something like this is desperately needed. justin madders, _ is desperately needed. justin madders, shadow _ is desperately needed. justin madders, shadow minister i is desperately needed. justin | madders, shadow minister for madders, shadow ministerfor employment rights, thank you for joining us this morning. let's get more on this, we'rejoined now byjon restell, chief executive of managers in partnership, the union which represents health service managers. good morning, jon. i don't know if you had what was being said there but what do you make of those plans to give some sort of regulatory body? i to give some sort of regulatory bod ? ~ , body? i think the first thing i would say — body? i think the first thing i would say is _ body? i think the first thing i would say is not _ body? i think the first thing i would say is not the - body? i think the first thing i would say is not the first i body? i think the first thing i | would say is not the first time body? i think the first thing i i would say is not the first time we have _ would say is not the first time we have had — would say is not the first time we have had a — would say is not the first time we have had a major failure at an organisation but i would query the extent— organisation but i would query the extent to — organisation but i would query the extent to which regulation of managers would make a significant

towards friday, for example. temperatures generally into the low 20s. that's it from us for now. we'll be back in half an hour. back to sarah and jon. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. offences like phone thefts and shoplifting are to be investigated more thoroughly after police forces in england and wales committed to pursuing all reasonable lines of enquiry. it is part of an effort to improve investigations and drive down crime rates. the home secretary, suella braverman, joins me now. thank you forjoining us. many will wonder why the police are not

already having to follow every reasonable lead and bring people to justice? reasonable lead and bring people to 'ustice? ., ., , justice? good morning, i am pleased to be joining — justice? good morning, i am pleased to be joining you- — justice? good morning, i am pleased to be joining you. since _ justice? good morning, i am pleased to be joining you. since i _ justice? good morning, i am pleased to be joining you. since i became i to bejoining you. since i became home secretary a year ago, i have been working on a programme of police reform together with my colleague at the policing minister and we have aimed to reduce burdens on the police, such as reducing time spent on mental health call—outs. we have increased the number of officers and we now have a record number in the history of policing in terms of officers on the beat and working on the front line. we are back to where _ working on the front line. we are back to where we _ working on the front line. we are back to where we were, - working on the front line. we are back to where we were, at i working on the front line. we are| back to where we were, at 2010? working on the front line. we are i back to where we were, at 2010? that is not tuite back to where we were, at 2010? trust is not quite right. we have surpassed any level achieved in history. as i said, we have the highest number on record in the history of policing when it comes to

police officer numbers. that is a governmental achievement of which i am incredibly proud. we are working to support victims and cut crime. over the last ten years, we have also seen an overall fall in crime whether it is 46% fall in burglary and robbery. there have been good results over the last ten years. what the announcement is about today in reflection of the work i have been doing over the last 12 months is to ensure a back to basics approach. there is no such thing as minor crime, whether phone theft, car theft, street level drug dealing and drug use. the police must now follow every reasonable line of inquiry and that means if there is cctv footage of a burglary, dash cam footage, gps tracking data of where a phone might be. if the victim has

evidence their vehicle has been sold online, if there is sight or smell of cannabis on the street, the police will have to follow up on those leads. that is about ensuring and rebuilding confidence amongst victims and delivering better outcomes in court and it is about cutting crime. it outcomes in court and it is about cutting crime-— cutting crime. it is interesting about phone _ cutting crime. it is interesting about phone theft. _ cutting crime. it is interesting about phone theft. if- cutting crime. it is interesting about phone theft. if my i cutting crime. it is interesting. about phone theft. if my phone cutting crime. it is interesting i about phone theft. if my phone was nicked, i would about phone theft. if my phone was nicked, iwould hope about phone theft. if my phone was nicked, i would hope the police would do everything they could to try to find it but i am interested in this reasonable level of response because i might want the police to do everything, to go to every bit of cctv, every dash cam, every door bell camera, go on the internet, and look for my phone because it matters to me. but is the police force going to me. but is the police force going to think that is a reasonable use of time? ,, . , ., ,, . time? since i became home secretary i have time? since i became home secretary i have come — time? since i became home secretary

i have come across _ time? since i became home secretary i have come across too _ time? since i became home secretary i have come across too many - i have come across too many complaints and stories from people about their phone, watch, car being stolen and calling the police only to be given a crime reference number for insurance purposes. and the police not taking further action. that is not acceptable. there is no such thing as minor crime. these thefts can be devastating, they are violating, and they debilitate people's confidence in police which is why this commitment is a landmark commitment, it is my challenge to the police to follow up every reasonable line of inquiry when there is a possibility a suspect may be identified and i expect them to act appropriately on the ground and visit every domestic burglary, which i am pleased they are now action in, and i want them to follow up on the cctv footage, the gps tracking data, the online evidence of a vehicle or

another item being resold online. those kinds of evidence are actually followed up on by the police, taken up followed up on by the police, taken up as a proper investigation. ok. and followed up properly. that is also based on a model lead at greater manchester police. it is not a speculative idea, it is evidence—based. ok. we saw when the chief constable in manchester took this approach, we saw outcomes improve and confidence increase. richard garside from the centre of crime and justice studies said this morning if you put more resources into mobile phone theft and shoplifting, things like that, to improve overall numbers, that inevitably must mean fewer resources for say complex, time—consuming investigation such as serious sexual abuse cases. that is the reality, one or the other? i abuse cases. that is the reality, one or the other?—

abuse cases. that is the reality, one or the other? i disagree. the olice one or the other? i disagree. the police have _ one or the other? i disagree. the police have a _ one or the other? i disagree. the police have a record _ one or the other? i disagree. the police have a record number- one or the other? i disagree. the police have a record number of i one or the other? i disagree. the i police have a record number of men and women working on their front line than ever before. they have the numbers of people who are there. this is about ensuring resources are properly diverted to what i call back to basics, common sense policing. that they do not dismiss crimes is unimportant. it is about being freed up from time—consuming tasks which is why we made an announcement about mental health and made sure we are cutting down the time police are spending on accompanying people who are having a mental health episode. and rather those matters are dealt with by nhs professionals. we are cutting time police spending record in crime through reform of the home office rules and reducing the burden on the police when it comes to things such as non—crime hate incidents. it is

freeing up police time from needless bureaucracy and diverting it to what the british people want them to do which is cutting crime, responding to victims and catching criminals. we have to be clear. you have brought police numbers back to where they were when you came into power in 2010 and the population those police officers are policing is bigger. per capita, there are fewer officers doing thatjob right now and 90%, more than, of crime goes unsolved. how does the 90% figure improve with this change today? ihts i improve with this change today? as i need to improve with this change today? " i need to correct you. we have not just returned to 2010. it is slightly above. we have exceeded any number that has ever been reached when it comes to police numbers. that is indisputable. also, over the last ten year period we have seen

crime fall. that is the office for national statistics data. saying overall crime has fallen by 50%. violent crime has fallen, neighbourhood crime, robbery and burglary have fallen, despite population increases. in fact, the chief inspector in his annual report commented that england and wales are arguably the safest they have ever been thanks to that falling crime which has to be thanks to police efforts. we have seen a fall in crime, an increase in police numbers, and what i challenge police to do is divert expertise and resources to fighting crime in terms of what the public expects. robbery of what the public expects. robbery of phones and watches, car theft, street level drug crime and dealing. we have talked about that. can we talk about migration and the baby stockholm barge, part of your solution to the migrant crisis is still empty. the migrants who got on

fundamental principles of conservatism have been abandoned. i disagree with the contents of her letter. i would say we have to look to the future. we have an excellent candidate in mid bedfordshire and i have worked with him because he is the police and crime commissioner in bedfordshire so on crime and policing he is a first—class campaigner and has been incredibly effective in reducing crime in bedfordshire, empowering the police, supporting victims. but a bedfordshire, empowering the police, supporting victims-— supporting victims. but a very divided party. _ supporting victims. but a very divided party, aren't - supporting victims. but a very divided party, aren't you? i. divided party, aren't you? i disagree. i disagree with the contents of nadine dorries' letter. i think rishi sunak is working flat out to deliver on his five pledges to the british people, and we are working on stopping the boats and

medal. last night watching out for keely hodgkinson, she had won silver at the commonwealth games, olympics and last year's worlds in eugene but for a second successive year, disappointment. she fell just short of becoming world champion in the 800m. she was in contention all the way through — but mary moraa of kenya, like she's done before, beat her to the line meaning it was silver again for keely. but after her initial disappointment, she was quick to look at the positives. there were two more medals before the championships ended for great britain — with the men winning bronze in the 4 x 400 metres relay. the united states were way out on front as they won gold — with france taking silver. and a bronze for gb's women in the same event. the netherlands took gold in a thrilling finish, beating jamaica right on the line as the championships ended in memorable style. in the premier league, liverpool produced a stunning

fightback at newcaslte to maintain their unbeaten start to the new season. when trent alexander arnold had a moment to forget here, it didn't feel like it was going to be thir day. former evertonian anthony gordon putting newcastle in front. and moments later it went from bad to worse. liverpool were reduced to 10 men with captain virgil van dijk sent off. a straight red for that. but they stayed in the game and snatched victory with two late goals, both from substitute darwin nunez — liverpool's hero with a 93rd minute winner. manchester city are the only team left in the premier league with a 100% record, but they left it late to extend their perfect start to the season to three matches. they were leading 1—0 at sheffield united, but the newly promoted team thought they'd grabbed a shock point whenjayden bogle scored five minutes from time. but they were level for only three minutes. city weren't down for long, rodri with a rocket to send them

back to the top of the league. elsewhere, aston villa won 3—1 at burnley. in the scottish premiership, st mirren missed the chance to go top after conceding a 100th minute equaliser against aberdeen, as the two sides drew 2—2. dundee beat hearts 1—0 in the day's other game. in the scottish women's premier league, rangers missed the chance to go top after drawing 1—1 with glasgow city. brenna lovera with glasgow's equaliserjust four minutes after rangers had taken the lead. elsewhere, leaders celtic beat dundee united 9—0. 9-0. the 9—0. the results on the bbc sport website. the paralympics get under way in exactly one year in paris, where great britain will be looking to top their tally of 124 medals in tokyo. one person who knows a thing or two about winning medals isjody cundy, who has won eight golds across swimming and cycling events.

and we'll hear about the empowering guide book for young people written by three of england's lionesses. good morning. today is a day of sunshine and showers, they will be fewer and further between than at the weekend and if you are in the sunshine, it will feel pleasantly warm. all of the details later. it's monday the 28th august. our main story. from midnight tonight, the cost of driving anywhere in london will increase as the whole city becomes the world's largest ultra low emission zone. owners of the most polluting vehicles will have to pay a daily charge of £12.50 for driving in the zone as tom edwards reports. the ultra low emission zone or ulez expands out to cover all of london tonight at midnight. it means your vehicle has to comply with emissions standards or you have to pay £12.50 a day.

it will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year apart from christmas day. the changes have made life difficult at this car dealership in windsor. we are struggling. one, we can't find the stock at the prices we're used to paying. prices are just escalating so fast. and then what we're finding is if we do secure vehicles at a higher cost, that cost, the additional cost gets pushed onto the customer, which they're not happy to pay. so it's not viable. the principle behind the ultra low emission zone or ulez is that the polluter pays and the aim is to get drivers to switch away from older, more polluting vehicles. broadly, what that means is if you've got a petrol vehicle that was first registered before 2005 or a diesel first registered before 2015, you'll have to pay the £12.50 a day charge. you can check if your vehicle is compliant on the tfl website. city hall says this scheme

will bring cleaner air to millions. improving the air is an incredibly important thing for us to be doing and all and any increase in air quality is to be welcomed, because it leads to a corresponding reduction in the number of premature deaths. that's the responsible thing to be doing. but opponents say the nine month lead—in time was too quick and the costs are too high. five councils failed to get it stopped in court, and many councils in the home counties aren't allowing advanced warning signs on their land. nonetheless, from midnight tonight, the largest pollution charging zone in the world begins. tom edwards, bbc news. cities all over uk are working —— watching it very closely. we will be joined by our transport corresponding in the next half an hour if you are heading into the zone or if you live in the zone.

a man and a woman have died after being trapped in a car on a flooded road in liverpool. police say it's thought the vehicle was submerged under a bridge. our reporter mairead smyth is at the scene of the incident this morning. good morning, mairead. can you tell us what we know about what happened? good morning. this road remains closed this morning, as police continue their investigation. officers were called at around 20 past nine on saturday night, heavy rain had caused flooding on this section of road and it is an area of road which doesn't suffer from flooding whenever there is heavy road. —— it does suffer from flooding. whenever there is heavy rain. we don't know how the man and woman became trapped in this car. police tried to free them from the car with the fire and rescue service, passers—by also tried but sadly the man or woman died here.

the next of kin have been informed and we have not been told their names. this is a very popular residential areas, people will have been trying to help the man and woman in that car so this will have an impact on people who tried to help them. police are hoping to hear from anybody who was in the area, they ask anyone to get in touch who has footage which could help them in their investigation. police forces in england and wales have committed to pursuing all "reasonable lines of inquiry" in an effort to solve more crimes. ministers want to crack down on offences like phone thefts and shoplifting as part of an effort to restore confidence in policing. our home editor mark easton reports. smart doorbells, dashcams, mobile phones and the power of google mean more crime victims believe they've obtained good evidence to identify the culprit. but there's been rising frustration that officers are not going after offenders of lower level crime such as shoplifting,

vandalism and theft. now the home office says it's got agreement from police chiefs that they will pursue all reasonable lines of inquiry if a perpetrator could be apprehended. since 2015, forces have had to say how many of the offences they record result in someone being charged. back then it was 16%, but now it's just under 6%. political pressure to improve that number is coming from all sides. i'v e i've come across far too many complaints and stories from people about their phone being stolen, there watch being stolen, their car being stolen, then calling up the police only to be given a crime reference number for insurance purposes. and the police not following up, not taking any further action. that is totally unacceptable. as i said, there is no such thing as a minor crime. these thefts can be devastating, they are incredibly violating and they

debilitate people's confidence in the police. but police chiefs point out there are reasons for the fall in detections. although overall crime is at historically low levels, improved recording of offences means their caseload is rising and more of the crimes being reported are complex offences to investigate, notably rape and abuse cases. on the one hand, this does sound like a no brainer. anybody who's had their car stolen or their phone stolen wants the police to pursue every line of inquiry. at the same time, we also know that, for example, rape and sexual assault, the prosecution and conviction rate for those are incredibly low. we have a tsunami of male sexual violence towards women and girls as it is. if the police are being told you've just got to put even more resources into tackling, say, carand phone crime, that means there's going to be less time and less focus on those really serious violent offences that quite rightly the public are concerned about. so what does reasonable mean? that's the question which lies behind today's announcement. some officers might ask if it would be reasonable to downgrade

a complex sexual abuse case to pursue more shoplifters. mark easton, bbc news. aston villa's team bus was hit by a brick after the club's win against burnley in the premier league yesterday. police said the brick was thrown at the windscreen from a footbridge on the m65 motorway as the team headed home after their 3—1 win. lancashire police are appealing for any information. the scottish covid—i9 inquiry will hold its first preliminary hearing today. the review, which will complement the nationwide uk inquiry, will focus on the effect of the pandemic in scotland, and how the government in holyrood responded. a record number of people in the uk are now borrowing from family members to help them buy property. new research shows nearly 320,000 homes are expected to be purchased with financial support from relatives this year which is almost half of all homes bought by those under the age of 55. spain's football federation is set

to hold an urgent meeting today to discuss the crisis which has engulfed the sport in the country. president luis rubiales has been suspended by fifa for kissing player jenni hermoso on the lips following spain's world cup victory last week. our spain correspondent guy hedgecoe joins us now. there was a meeting of the federation on friday at which luis rubiales was applauded when he said, i will not be resigning, so what are we expecting today?— we expecting today? well, i think toda will we expecting today? well, i think today will tell _ we expecting today? well, i think today will tell us _ we expecting today? well, i think today will tell us how _ we expecting today? well, i think today will tell us how much - we expecting today? well, i think i today will tell us how much support r rubiales still has within the federation given the developments within the weekend, the fact that fifa has suspended him from all footballing activities are at this moment he is not the acting president of the federation. also, the spanish national team, the world cup winning team, has boycotted the

national team until mr rubiales stepped down. and there will be many other shows of support forjenni hermoso as well. this meeting could tell us whether the federation still support mr rubiales or whether it has decided to start distancing itself from mr rubiales given the pressure he is under. one of their many issues they might discuss as well is how this whole crisis could impact spain's bid to hold the men's world cup in 2030, that is a bit that spain is sharing with portugal and morocco. there are people who are worried about how this whole crisis could be affecting spain's international image and specifically that world cup bid. guy. international image and specifically that world cup bid.— international image and specifically that world cup bid. bank holiday monday for many, and if you are heading outside, or hoping for a last bit of summer today, carol can tell it how it is looking.

good morning. looking pretty nice outside for many of us at the moment, blue skies as we can see here on this weather watcher picture, but there are some showers. they will be fewer and further between them they were yesterday. fairly well scattered, you might catch one in london for the notting hill carnival. most of us will miss them. later on in the day, thick cloud across the north west, i knew where the front shows its hand bringing in some rain. —— and a new weather front. bringing in some rain. —— and a new weatherfront. cooler in bringing in some rain. —— and a new weather front. cooler in the highlands. overnight, a weather front to six southwards from scotland into northern ireland, and by the end of the night northern england. and of it clear skies, quite a bit of cloud, and for the rest of scotland and northern

ireland, clear skies and a peppering of showers. temperature wise, these are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities, mourning away between nine and 13 degrees. a bit fresher than that in the countryside. tomorrow the weather front six south, —— sinks south, showers between scotland and northern ireland but in between sunshine. thank you very much. from midnight tonight, the cost of driving anywhere in london will increase for motorists with older vehicles as the whole city becomes the world's largest ultra low emission zone. this was the original ulez area, marked in red. as you can see, to start with it only applied in the very centre of london. then two and a half years later, in 2021, it expanded to "inner

london", which is the area inside the north and south circular ring roads and from midnight tonight it expands again to cover "outer london", meaning all 32 london boroughs will now be inside the zone. it means an extra five million people will live in the ulez which is 72 times bigger than the original area. what does all this mean? well, generally, if you drive a petrol vehicle first registered before 2006, or a diesel vehicle first registered before 2016, you'll be charged £12.50 to enter you'll be charged £12.50 to enter the zone. our transport correspondent, katy austin, joins us now from eltham. that's basically on the fringe of this whole new ulez area we are talking about?—

this whole new ulez area we are talkini about? ii �* i , talking about? that's exactly right, i'm in eltham _ talking about? that's exactly right, i'm in eltham in _ talking about? that's exactly right, i'm in eltham in south-east - talking about? that's exactly right, | i'm in eltham in south-east london, i'm in eltham in south—east london, you can see a sign just behind i'm in eltham in south—east london, you can see a signjust behind me which tells drivers they are about to enter the current ultra low emission zone. but from tomorrow, that the zone will cover a much greater area across all london boroughs. it not only people who live in london he will be affected by this, drivers coming into the city for work or leisure will as well. there are some big destinations inside the zone including heathrow airport and wembley stadium, and what it means is vehicles that don't meet certain emissions standards attract a charge of £12 50 every day for driving in that zone. not all vehicles, it's the most polluting older vehicles that have to pay. there is some money available towards the cost of scrapping noncompliant vehicles and getting one that does comply with the emission standards, in the case of cars, up to £2000. that scrappage

scheme is available to londoners and so far 13,000 scheme is available to londoners and so fari3,000 grant scheme is available to londoners and so far 13,000 grant applications have been approved. the mayor of london and clean air campaigners say this is a vital scheme to improve air quality and public health but the expansion of ulez across are such a wide area has drawn some criticism including for the financial impact on people and businesses at a time and cost of living pressures are still very high. let's talk about this, with a clean air campaign at of all, why do you think is necessary? the impact on air pollution in greater london is not predicted to be that great. abolition is a massive issue for londoners _ abolition is a massive issue for londoners and also national in —— issue _ londoners and also national in —— issue we — londoners and also national in —— issue. we have been reaching legal limits— issue. we have been reaching legal limits for— issue. we have been reaching legal limits for more than 12 years for toxic_ limits for more than 12 years for toxic gases _ limits for more than 12 years for toxic gases and these pollutions stunt— toxic gases and these pollutions stunt children's lungs in the city

dependent on money coming into their business and going out, and they don't have huge reserves to be able to buy a new fleet of vans. hagar don't have huge reserves to be able to buy a new fleet of vans. how many of them have — to buy a new fleet of vans. how many of them have already _ to buy a new fleet of vans. how many of them have already switched? - to buy a new fleet of vans. how many of them have already switched? not i of them have already switched? not all vehicles have to pay the charge. some of them will have switched already, there will be some but the vast majority we are finding they might have bought vehicles within the last ten years and they are not in need of replacement and they are finding themselves in a situation where they are going to be victims of the us —— the ulez charge. they cannot adjust their vehicles for the requirements of ulez for it to come in. there is a nine month wait, they have to have other customisations made to their vans that they have not got time to do.— not got time to do. what do you think about _ not got time to do. what do you think about this _ not got time to do. what do you think about this idea _ not got time to do. what do you think about this idea that - not got time to do. what do you think about this idea that it - not got time to do. what do you think about this idea that it will| think about this idea that it will cost a lot of business people quite a lot of money? i cost a lot of business people quite a lot of money?— a lot of money? i feel for everything _ a lot of money? i feel for everything they - a lot of money? i feel for everything they are - a lot of money? i feel for| everything they are saying a lot of money? i feel for - everything they are saying and i'm quite _ everything they are saying and i'm quite exasperated that we are out here today pitching small businesses effectively against, i know mothers

i'm nicola crockford and during lockdown i discovered the complete joy of snorkelling in rivers. nicola crockdown is a project officer with the rspb and she loves river snorkelling. most people snorkel in the sea on holiday, but no, nicola likes to stay closer to home. and today she was in the river lark. when you're in that water, there's nothing else that exists, no phones, nothing. you're just completely absorbed by this world and the wildlife, you have an intimacy of relationship that you just don't have anywhere else. you know, the birds fly away, you know, you can't really have a relationship with an invertebrate. but the fish, they come and they look at you eye to eye through your mask and it's just fantastic.

river snorkelling sounded slightly, how can i put this politely? slightly unhinged! so i actually asked if i could join in and off we went. there's a bit of swimming involved, but it's more scrambling, really. often i'm in very shallow river, so it's too shallow for proper swimming. so essentially what you're doing is you're just crawling along and basically it's your arms that are doing most of the work, maybe a little hit your knees. but then when you're in faster flows and deeper, then you'll be using your fins more. does it take you to another world? yes, i would say river snorkeling does. water quality is an issue for nicola. she's one of a growing number of citizen scientists taking samples

and reporting problems. but it's really the peace and solitude, the connection with nature, which really matters to her. mike higgins, bbc news. that's rather lovely. you know when you come back from holiday when you have got all of the snorkelling equipment that you bought from the shop near the beach, it's all in the cupboard, get it out and put it in your river. cupboard, get it out and put it in your river-— your river. and who is back from hohda ? your river. and who is back from holiday? morning _ your river. and who is back from holiday? morning live! - your river. and who is back from holiday? morning live! getting i your river. and who is back from j holiday? morning live! getting a shell, we have mist you. good holiday? morning live! getting a shell, we have mist you. good to be back. coming up. it's nearly two years since girls aloud's sarah harding died of breast cancer. her legacy lives on, with money raised in her memory funding potentially life saving research. dr punam and kimberley walsh meet the first woman taking part in the ground—breaking study. also today, covid cases are rising around the country. dr xand tells us if we need to be concerned about the new variants.

i've been listening. please check whether your vehicle is compliant. 90% of cars driven in outer london are already compliant. if it's not compliant, you're eligible for support. part closures on dlr. and part closures the overground and piccadilly line. planned closure of the waterloo & city line. for the latest travel news on the roads and rail, tune into your bbc local radio station. on to the weather with kirsty mccabe. good morning. the rest of the bank holiday weekend looks pretty decent, especially after the heavy showers we've seen over the past few days. so it's sunny spells and some scattered light showers today. we have a weak weather frontjust clearing away. that's what will bring in a few showers with it, but you will be unlucky if you catch one. so some brighter sunny spells to start the day. a bit more cloud bubbling up as the day goes on and a few light

showers moving through on those light north—westerly winds. top temperatures 19—21 celsius. that's 70 fahrenheit. as we go through the night, the winds stay light. there will be some clear spells here and there and the temperatures will drop to around 9—i2c. the outlook for the rest of the week — it is going to turn more unsettled by the time we get to the end of the week. but for most, it is a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. some of the showers will turn heavier as we head towards friday, for example. temperatures generally into the low 20s. that's it from us for now. we'll be back in half an hour. back to sarah and jon. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay.

if it is a bank holiday for you, we hope you are enjoying it. the government has been asking whether people with second homes should have to pay double council tax. but should the owners of static caravans and chalets be included? that's one of the questions raised in a consultation process in england — asking how we should try to tackle excessive numbers of second homes in tourist areas. our reporter bob cooper has been speaking to people affected by the plans in cumbria. it's small, humble and homemade. this is the lounge. but forjudith, this chalet holds a lifetime of memories. she remembers her dad building it in their back garden in workington more than 70 years ago. the first time we stayed here was easter 1950. i've just come here for ever with the family, my kids, my grandchildren come now. my sister's here a lot and her children come. so it's just a family concern.

the owners of 46 chalets here in allenby are concerned about a proposed new law that would allow councils to double council tax on second homes. now the government is consulting on whether these and similar properties should be exempt. sue says a future premium could leave them paying £2,000 a year. the consultation is about us not having to pay the second homes premium when the law changes and the local authorities are allowed to charge more council tax for second homes. we did a little bit of research amongst us all, you know, and almost everybody said that if if we were charged the second homes premium, even though we're not second homes, then most of us would have to leave here and abandon our chalets or our chalets would end

up getting destroyed. the reason these chalets could be exempt is because they can't be occupied in winter due to a planning restriction. there are similar restrictions on 82 properties in westmoreland and furness, 40 in northumberland and 37 in yorkshire. the local mp says the allenby site shouldn't be hit by a premium. things like the chalets in allenby are very, very unique types of property, you know, almost beach huts not quite on the beach, if you like, you know, places where people spend their summer. the owners here have sent their response to the government consultation, which ends on the 31st of august. cumberland council says it will look at its options and try to ensure a fair outcome. that was bob cooper reporting. we're joined by conor o'shea, policy and public affairs manager at generation rent. you saw that example with the chalets. it is a specific example. and sympathy with the owners, but this is a wider problem. you

these areas when homes are haemorrhaged out into airbnb in a different way because there is a critical undersupply of homes in these areas. it is impossible not only for renters to find somewhere at an affordable rent but if you are speaking about tourist areas, it is difficult for businesses to hire staff able to rent property and can live there a long period of time. you spoke about tourist areas. you are thinking about places where people go on holiday which is where second homes might be. is it as true in other areas because you can rent airbnbs in cities, maybe not typical tourist destinations.— tourist destinations. absolutely ri i ht. tourist destinations. absolutely right- people — tourist destinations. absolutely right. people often _ tourist destinations. absolutely right. people often think- tourist destinations. absolutely right. people often think of- tourist destinations. absolutelyj right. people often think of this problem to be one of tourist coastal towns but it is across the board, in cities, short—term lets an airbnb are through the roof. we did some research and found 29 homes a day

are being lost from the private rented sector into short—term lets which means 29 homes a day across the country across different types of living situations lost. the losers are the tenants, people looking to find new homes or people finding their rent is driven up by the lack of supply in the private rented sector. tenants have it so difficult. they are at the sharp end of the housing crisis and this problem makes it worse. i of the housing crisis and this problem makes it worse. i wonder how many properties _ problem makes it worse. i wonder how many properties it _ problem makes it worse. i wonder how many properties it would _ problem makes it worse. i wonder how many properties it would free - problem makes it worse. i wonder how many properties it would free up - problem makes it worse. i wonder how many properties it would free up if- many properties it would free up if a second home owner pays double the council tax. a lot of them will be wealthy people anyway. they can probably afford it in most cases. they will not necessarily sell that house to a local person. that depends- _ house to a local person. that depends. the _ house to a local person. that depends. the situation - house to a local person. that depends. the situation we i house to a local person. trust depends. the situation we have here is it is preferential at the moment to run a short—term letter. for lots of tax reasons, it is a cheaper operation to run an airbnb and

short—term let down a long—term property in the private rented sector. a lot of these measures are rebalancing that and making it a fair playing field for tenants who want to live somewhere long—term versus those who want to come in in the short—term. when we see that happening we would see a better balance and situation for tenants, when they are in competition with short—term holiday lets. the short-term holiday lets. the situation _ short-term holiday lets. the situation for _ short-term holiday lets. the situation for renters, - short—term holiday lets. the situation for renters, this is one aspect making life difficult. private tenants are at the sharp end of the housing crisis with rents going through the roof. it is unaffordable for tenants looking to find a new home and increasingly those who want to stay in their home, rent increases so high, underpinned by a lack of supply across all houses. the short—term lets here are exacerbating that and thatis lets here are exacerbating that and that is why we are seeing council stepping in and making sure they know there are enough homes in local

areas for the local community. we would like a situation where local authorities can have the agency to say no, you cannot have short—term let there because we know there are families who need this in the long—term. families who need this in the long-term-— families who need this in the loni-term. i, ~' , i, , i let's join chetan for the sport. we start with great britain's best team performance at an athletics world championships for 30 years. they've finished with ten medals in budapest, 1993 was the last time they did that. no golds on the final day but it was oh so close again for keely hodgkinson in the 800m, but she had to settle for silver again. natalie pirks reports. a leap for glory. kenya's joy was keely�*s pain yet again. keely hodgkinson has been the world leader this year, but there were plenty of threats in the 800m, not least the woman

who beat her to commonwealth gold — kenya's mary moraa. commentator: keely looks pretty relaxed at the moment, _ but has she got anything in her legs? moraa has some finish on her and, in the battle for the line, it was hodgkinson who ran out of track. mary moraa's going to take the gold for kenya. keely hodgkinson takes the silver again. orphaned as a toddler, using her mother's memory as motivation, moraa's victoryjig comes straight from the heart. but hodgkinson believes she'll be dancing soon enough. i really did believe i was going to win. one of these days, i will get the top spot. today, it's just not meant to be. the 4x400m relays were the last event. world champions the us were miles ahead of the pack. but the european champions, britain, brought home the bronze. commentator: brilliant performance for the british quartet. _ and in a showdown worthy of the finale, the dutch women turned orange to gold on the line. she's done it!

relegating jamaica to silver. femke bol is amazing! britain's battling third place was their tenth medal. those two bronzes mean they've smashed last year's medal haul. the relays bringing the curtain down on a successful championships for both budapest and britain. natalie pirks, bbc news, hungary. an eventful end in budapest. and also at stjames' an eventful end in budapest. and also at st james' park. in the premier league, liverpool produced a stunning fightback at newcaslte to maintain their unbeaten start to the new season. when trent alexander arnold had a moment to forget here, it didn't feel like it was going to be their day. former evertonian anthony gordon putting newcastle in front. and moments later it went from bad to worse. liverpool were reduced to 10 men with captain virgil van dijk sent off. a straight red for that. but they stayed in the game and snatched victory with two late goals, both from substitute darwin nunez — liverpool's hero with

a 93rd minute winner. the second time in a row we did not fall apart and with ten men it could have happened. so closer together to create a mentality. would have loved to have played with 11 men, but at least, i guess we got a chance to do something really special. manchester city are the only team left in the premier league with a 100% record — but they left it late to extend their perfect start to the season to three matches. they were leading 1—0 at sheffield united, but the newly promoted team thought they'd grabbed a shock point whenjayden bogle scored five minutes from time. but they were level for only three minutes — city weren't down for long, rodri with a rocket to send them back to the top of the league. elsewhere, aston villa won 3—1 at burnley.

in the scottish premiership, st mirren missed the chance to go top after conceding a 100th minute equaliser against aberdeen as the two sides drew 2—2. dundee beat hearts 1—0 in the day's other game. in the scottish women's premier league, rangers missed the chance to go top after drawing 1—1 with glasgow city. brenna lovera with glasgow's equaliserjust four minutes after rangers had taken the lead. elsewhere, leaders celtic beat dundee united 9—0. for a second successive year, the manchester originals will be waking up this morning as runners—up in the hundred, as they lost in the final again. instead it's the oval invincibles who have been crowned champions of this year's competition. batting first, tom curran top scored with 67 as they set the originals 162 to win. they started well, but then faltered with key man jos buttler out forjust ii as the originals fell 15 runs short of their target. the invincibles winning the title

for the first time. we know that 150 plus is a winning score here, so when we got over that we knew we were right in the game. you havejos buttler, phil salt, who we know they play, come hard. it is a huge wicket, jos buttler, because he monitors the game and manages partnership so well, whoever he is batting with. that was the key wicket to crack the game open and then to continuously take on wickets makes a huge difference in short—form cricket. it was a case of third time lucky for the southern brave in the women's competiton. they beat the northern superchargers in their final by 34 runs. the victory saw brave captain anya shrubsole lifting the trophy in herfinal game before retiring. amid all the chaos around him, max verstappen kept his cool to win the dutch grand prix in front of his home fans and secured a record—equalling ninth win in a row. starting on pole, verstappen lost the lead early on, but went back in front shortly after. heavy rain with eight laps to go forced a red flag and a 45—minute

delay but when the race resumed, verstappen stayed in control to win, to move 138 points clear in the standings. fernando alonso was second, pierre gasly third. lewis hamilton and lando norris 6th and 7th respectively. that is enough for me. you have lionesses with you. the lionesses have been a huge inspiration to young football fans across the country. now, three of the players have written a children's book. it is a guide to inspire the next generation to embrace their inner lioness. two of the three writers, georgia stanway and nikita parris, are with us now. good morning. thank you forjoining us. you were there, georgia, in australia. it was only eight days ago. have you come down from that?

the main body, torso of the uffington white horse. it is shrinking, archaeologists confirming the head and neck have got thinner. todayis the head and neck have got thinner. today is the last day when members of the public can be a part of the re—chalking. this is an annual tradition dating back centuries. in a moment i will speak to some of them but first, i am looking at why them but first, i am looking at why the white horse is so special and buy it is shrinking. seen from miles away, the uffington white horse in oxfordshire is considered britain's oldest chalk figure. leaping across the head of the ridgeway slope, it's thought to date back to the late bronze age, around 3,000 years old. and it's thanks to the annual work of volunteers on the ground that means we can still see this ancient animal marking.

yes, a bitjust over there. using around 15 tonnes of chalk extracted from a local quarry, volunteers have travelled from near and far to help with the weeding and re—chalking. my wife grew up in a village just down there and i grew up on the other side of the world, but i remember reading books about the white horse and it's amazing to be able to add something to it. i'm researching a book on british art and this is 3,000 years old. so i thought what better way to get hands—on with british art than to come and do a bit of weeding, as it turns out. and i saw you pounding away. how do you find it? it's harder work than i thought it was going to be. but, yeah, i'll take a break and go back to my parents if i have to. have a strong wrist, because it can be very tiring, and be dedicated because it's a lot of fun. not only restoring and maintaining

this wonderful figure that we've i got, but also an opportunity for people to actually - get hands on heritage. we say that we want - you to understand that you're in the footsteps of the ancestors. without human intervention, - the horse would simply grow over, over about 20 years. and for people to be able - to contribute to its legacy and then go away and look back and say, | well, hey, i did my bit that day, kept the horse going — i it's the feel—good factor. there's certainly a feel—good factor for layla and her family who travelled two and a half hours from dudley. well, you get dirty and if you get dirty, then you're having a lot of fun, and that's always the way. what's the best bit about hammering? er, you feel powerful, like thor. over the centuries, the annual re—chalking became a well—known large—scale public event — so much so that, in 1857, it had to be banned because 30,000 visitors showed up, many

reluctant to go. well, now, it's carefully managed by the national trust so that people can take part whilst also protecting this figure. and preserving the figure is going to require more than just re—chalking. since the 1980s, archaeologists have been noticing the white horse become thinner and now there are plans to restore its original outline. in particular, the neck of the horse was starting to narrow quite a lot. so the project involved a drone survey comparing the imagery taken from that to an image taken in 1939 — aerial photograph — overlaid one on the other and that said to us that in 80 years, the figure had diminished by almost 50%. so it is important to take steps to start rectifying that. for the time being, though, keeping the uffington horse white is the task at hand, or, if you're feeling a bit sleepy, a task for dad.

it is amazing to see so many coming here. and clearly enjoying using the hammer. but seriously, the white horse is shrinking and we heard earlierfrom andrew in my horse is shrinking and we heard earlier from andrew in my film who joins us now. we heard that it is shrinking and you plan to do something. shrinking and you plan to do something-— shrinking and you plan to do something. shrinking and you plan to do somethini. i ii , i, i something. what will you do? we will widen the dimensions _ something. what will you do? we will widen the dimensions of _ something. what will you do? we will widen the dimensions of the - something. what will you do? we will widen the dimensions of the horse. i widen the dimensions of the horse. it is important to do so. if we did not look after it, it would disappear within 20—3o years. while we do that we want to maintain the dimensions while also preserving its sleek and live image that makes it famous and much loved. it is sleek and live image that makes it famous and much loved.— famous and much loved. it is so famous. absolutely _ famous and much loved. it is so famous. absolutely stunning i famous and much loved. it is so famous. absolutely stunning to | famous and much loved. it is so - famous. absolutely stunning to look at from a distance. do you have why it was created —— any idea why it was created? it was created -- any idea why it was created?—
