nations trying to make it through to the knockout phase. and i'll have the weather for you. good morning. it's tuesday the 12th of september. our main story — the search for the father of sara sharif has intensified, after his five other children were found by police in pakistan. the body of ten—year—old sara was discovered at her family home in woking last month, a day after her dad and his partner had fled the uk. her siblings have now been found at sara's grandfather's house, and he's told the bbc they'd been with him for over a month. a custody hearing is due to be held this morning, as our pakistan correspondent caroline davis now reports. a locked gate the boundary.

inside the five children lived for over a month, while sara's grandfather said nothing. a power cut, so we talk by flashlight. translation: if someone asked about children, i would have saidi they are safe with me. it is my right. no—one can care about them more than me. did irfan sharif and beenish patel, did they check in on what was happening with the children, though? they were on the run. they never phoned. maybe because if the police found out, they might be hard on me. they were not in contact. he shows us the yard. he shows us the yard they ran around in, the bedroom they slept in,

and the toys they played with. this is the room that the children slept in for the course of over a month while they were staying in this house. and this is the room that they were in when the police came, according to the family here. they say that they were sitting and playing on the bed with these toys and that when the police arrived, they began crying, that they said they didn't want to leave, that they were pulled by the police. and according to the family here, they say that the police didn't let them accompany them to the police station. the police chief says the children didn't resist leaving, and that they're now back with mohammed sharif. and the search for urfan sharif, beenish patel and fazal malik continues. caroline davies, bbc news. morocco's government is under pressure to accept more international aid, following friday's earthquake, which is now known to have killed more than 2,800 people. so far, it has accepted help from the uk, spain, qatar, and the united arab emirates. 0ur correspondent nick beake joined the first convoys of aid to reach some of the most remote villages in the atlas mountains. finally, help is on its way to the most remote victims of this disaster.

we'rejoining a team of spanish firefighters, the first rescuers to negotiate this treacherous mountain road. in the hours after the quake, screams rang out here, but the trapped couldn't be freed. then the screams turned to silence. these dogs are trained to find the living. they're detecting nothing. the villagers in this place have been using their hands and shovels to go through the rubble, desperately trying to find their loved ones. but the grim reality is there is now a stench of death that hangs in the air here. all hope of finding people alive has now surely vanished. and it's taking its toll. this fractured community, already

isolated, is increasingly angry these spanish rescuers responded to turkey's earthquake in february, where people were pulled out alive days later. but conditions are very different here. here, the house is building with rocks, and in turkey, made with steel. and so it's more strong than this type of house. so here it's very little hope that you'll find any more people alive? yeah. we move on to the next village, where frustration is also rising in the unrelenting heat. the moroccan authorities are under pressure to accept more help from more countries. this is, after all, the most challenging of locations. no more so than this village,

now slumped on the edge of the mountainside. it's hard to believe this grotesque heap was home to 28 people. just seven of them survived. this is 0mar, still waiting for his two daughters to be found. hanin, i7, khadija,14. they have found them, two sisters inseparable in life, and now united inseparable in life, and now united in death. as his girls are listed from the rubble, abram him says he wants to send a message. translation: i wants to send a message. translation:— wants to send a message. translation: . , ., , translation: i want people to help me. iwant translation: i want people to help me- i want the _ translation: i want people to help me. i want the world _ translation: i want people to help me. i want the world to _ translation: i want people to help me. i want the world to help - translation: i want people to help me. i want the world to help me. - translation: i want people to help me. i want the world to help me. i l me. i want the world to help me. i lost my kids, my home, everything i own. , " lost my kids, my home, everything i own. «m ., lost my kids, my home, everything i own. , «m ., ,., , own. his son mark is now his only child. rescue _ own. his son mark is now his only child. rescue teams _ own. his son mark is now his only child. rescue teams have - own. his son mark is now his only child. rescue teams have now- own. his son mark is now his only - child. rescue teams have now reached these moot drum —— these most remote

parts of the atlas mountains, but what we have witnessed here today perfectly encapsulates the tragedy of this disaster. people either died immediately, orforso of this disaster. people either died immediately, orfor so many, we help simply did not come soon enough. nick beake, bbc news, in the atlas mountains. we will hear more from morocco and from the aids charities trying to carry out those rescues throughout this morning's programme. —— the aid charities. authorities in eastern libya say 2,000 people have been killed and many more are missing after a powerful storm caused flooding and mudslides. these pictures show the al—marj area. further east the port of derna has been declared a disaster zone, after two dams and four bridges reportedly collapsed. a third of medical students in the uk say they plan to go abroad to work, with many not coming back, according to a survey. the department of health and social care says it plans to recruit and retain hundreds of thousands more nhs staff

over the next 15 years. pubs in england and wales will be allowed to continue selling takeaway pints, after the government extended the relaxed licensing laws first introduced during the pandemic. they've already been extended twice, and will now run for another 18 months. some wilko shops have ceased trading today, with another 50 to close this week. it comes after a deal to rescue the homeware chain fell though. ben can tell us more. ben, what happens now? yes, after weeks of speculation, it seems there will be no saving the wilko brand. there had been hopes that a deal with the billionaire owner of hmv could save up to 300 stores, but that fell through. administrators pwc confirmed that between today and thursday, the first 52 stores will close. and within two weeks, another 124 will shut their doors for good. by early october, all 400 wilko stores are now expected to cease trading. that means all 12,500

staff who work for wilko are likely to lose theirjobs. there is some hope for some stores. rival bargain chain b&m has said it will take on up to 51 of wilko's shops in a deal worth £13 million. those stores will probably be rebranded as b&m shops, although it is not clear yet whether anyjobs will be saved, or if wilko workers will be given preference if they apply for roles at the b&m shops. but as it stands, the name wilko will no longer feature on uk high streets. ben, thank you very much for now. a man will appear before magistrates later accused of driving a truck through a police road block. officers were called to a report of threatening behaviour in taunton, somerset. when they arrived, a privately owned military truck smashed through four police cars and five other vehicles. no—one was injured.

a woman — who is hoping to become the first person with a stoma to swim the channel — is well on her way to that goal right now. it gill castle set off from dover last night, and she's now in french waters, so she's more than halfway. she's had a stoma for the past 12 years after being injured during childbirth. we'll have the full story of gill's swim on tomorrow's breakfast. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. conditions at this morning's weather. fairly calm in the english conditions fairly calm in the english channel today, as it is further north. this was the view a short while ago at the beach in aberdeen, clearskies short while ago at the beach in aberdeen, clear skies overhead, the moon and venus on show, but a noticeable chill in the air and some

big contrasts around. aviemore, strabane, only three to five celsius, whereas swansea and london in the upper teens. much chill in the north, separating the two we have some pretty wet weather to start the day across parts of northern england, north midlands, some outbreaks of rain through wales towards the south—west. heaviest towards the south—west. heaviest towards parts of northern england and the north midlands, a few light showers spreading towards the south—east right now to take you through the morning rush hour. that will set in place for much of the day across parts of the east midlands, lincolnshire, east yorkshire as well. elsewhere, lots of sunshine, scotland and northern ireland, isolated showers in the north. temperatures around where we should be for the time of year, but still some humid air across the south and south—east, where we could through the evening and late afternoon to see one or two isolated intense showers and thunderstorms. this cloud still in place through the day across parts of northern angled comedy north midlands, north wales, outbreaks of rain, but the heaviest clearing away from the

lincolnshire and east yorkshire coast as we are going to be first part of the night. the cloud then shrinks away towards the south—east corner, elsewhere clearer skies tonight, some mist and fog patches, a bit of a chilly one across the northern half of the uk, rural areas in parts of scotland could get down to around —1 celsius. temperatures still in the mid—teens in the south. wednesday probably the greatest day of the week with them some time before things deteriorate later in the day, we see some wet and windy weather across the north later this week. more details on that later. thank you, matt. legislation to provide a conditional amnesty for murders during the northern ireland conflict is set to pass its final stage in parliament today. former paramilitaries and soldiers will receive a guarantee they won't be prosecuted if they give information to a new commission. the bill — which will also end civil court cases and inquests related to the troubles — is strongly opposed by most victims groups and local political parties, as our ireland correspondent

chris page reports. northern ireland has changed hugely since the conflict known as the troubles. but this is a place where the past invades the present. almost 4,000 people died during 30 years of violence until the late 1990s. the legacy echoes strongly. 0ur uncles gerard and rory cairns, aged 18 and 22, was murdered here in this house. two gunmen, two loyalists. it was my auntie roisin�*s 11th birthday. and they came in through the front door and told roisin to be quiet inside the kitchen here.

and then just in the living room, gerard and rory were just watching tv and they went in and shot both of them dead. so for you, your young people, this isn't history. this is something that is affecting you and your generation. no, i'm the youngest of the family, and i've watched my family campaign tirelessly their entire lives forjustice over the murders of gerard and rory. and i believe this legislation is completely cruel and unjust. what's your family's goal, as it were? definitely truth. truth would be the main thing. and civil cases and inquests, for notjust ourfamily, but all families. almost all victims groups are against a plan to give a conditional amnesty to suspects who provide information to a new commission. i looked up to all of my brothers as heroes, so i put them on a pedestal. he was a good brother. the

as limited aid and rescue teams join a "race against time" to find survivors in the atlas mountains. and the telegraph quotes business secretary kemi badenoch, who says britain "cannot afford to cut ties with china," after a conservative parliamentary researcher was arrested on suspicion of spying. and this is the dramatic moment mark dickey, a caver who has been trapped in turkey's third deepest cave for more than a week, was rescued. he was on an exploration mission in the morca cave, when he fell ill at a depth of over 1,000 metres. more than 150 rescuers worked for nine days to save him. 0rganisers say it was one of the most complicated underground rescues ever carried out.

excluding bonuses grew at 7.8% between april and june compared with a year earlier. that's the fastest rate of growth for more than 20 years, and almost keeping up with the rate at which average prices rose injune compared with a year earlier, but not quite. inflation — or average price rises — slowed to 6.8% injuly. we'll find out this morning how average wage rises looked around that same period. let me show you that gap between prices and pay, and how it differs depending on whether you work in the public or private sector. this line is the rate of inflation, hitting a peak of about 11% last 0ctober, before coming back down this year. remember that doesn't mean prices are coming down — they are still rising, just not as quickly. this line shows pay rises

in the private sector, shrinking briefly at the start of the pandemic, before climbing back up, yet well below that inflation line, until recently. but look at public sector pay, staying well below inflation in the past year or so. that gap is why we've seen all those pay disputes and strikes across public services. and that relationship between prices and pay is why, in real terms, pay has been falling. yes, we've seen wages growing strongly, but when you factor in inflation, your money in the real world buys you less when you actually spend your wages on goods and services.

of course, higher pay helps people to afford the higher cost of living, the rising prices of everyday goods and services. but if the bank of england thinks wages are growing too strongly, it could raise borrowing costs by putting up interest rates again. that's why today's figures really matter, and i'll have them for you just after 7.00am. thanks very much, ben. the time is 6.23. in just a week, most residential roads in wales will have a speed limit of 20 miles per hour. first minister mark drakeford says the new law will save lives, pointing to spain, where the change led to a fall in road deaths. but critics have raised concerns about the cost of the scheme. wales' political editor gareth lewis has this report. this is one of the main routes to beaches. it gets busy, and locals have campaigned to be part of the trial. school children, parents, campaigners, and the local zumba class all rated night greeted the

this is what the advert was supposed to look like, showing the offensive cheese in the middle. transport for london said of the advert does not comply with their advertising policy as it had food high in fat, sugar and salt. the start—up company which made the cheese called the decision incredulous. adverts for alcohol are still allowed on the transport network. the duke of northumberland has been told he should find other ways of funding repairs to his grade one listed syon house in west london, rather than replacing allotments with new flats. a planning appeal is hearing the case after the duke lost the application to build 80 flats in park road allotments, which is forefathers had been allowed to rent after the first world war. the council has rejected the plan. northumberland estates claims it will help pay for conservation work. the appeal is ongoing. an amputee has spoken of a pride in taking on

the challenge of the red bull 400, where competitors run up a ski jump in one of the words steepest uphill sprints. milly pickles had her leg amputated six years ago after being electrocuted. she spent ten weeks in hospital. she has now become the first amputee to finish the spread in slovenia. ijust thought, what on earth am i about to do? i think that's when it really hit me, that i'm an amputee. i've got three toes on my human foot. i've got shivers right now even thinking about it. and, i was also just thinking about how far i've come, because there's a video of me when i've just come out of hospital and i literally could not walk up the smallest slope, i was so weak. and i just thought about the contrast and how far i've come, and that was making me emotional. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it was another warm and humid night last night. it is slowly getting a little cooler as we head through today.

for today, some bright, some sunny spells, but also the potential for some heavy and thundery showers. light ones this morning. some bright and sunny spells. those heaviest showers moving through, rumbles of thunder potentially. the temperature still feeling humid, but it is slightly less warm than yesterday, 23 celsius the maximum. overnight tonight, any remnants of that cloud and rain starts to clear away south and eastwards, the cloud breaking up as we head into wednesday morning. it is going to be a cooler night tonight, the minimum down to 13 celsius. so, slightly more comfortable for sleeping. for thursday, the front tries to move south. but then it waves back north. as it does so, it drags in some humidity from the continent again. so, through thursday and friday, some sunshine. the temperature getting a little warmer again. not quite as warm as last week, but it is going to feel more humid. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's return now to the growing humanitarian crisis in morocco, where the authorities are being urged to accept more humanitarian aid from other countries. 0n sunday's breakfast we spoke to mina metioui from the british moroccan society. she was caught up in the earthquake and gave us a terrifying account of what had happened. we can talk to her again now. good morning. thank you forjoining us again. good morning. thank you for 'oining us aaain. ~ ., good morning. thank you for 'oining us again.— newt good morning. thank you for 'oining us again._ how are _ good morning. thank you forjoining us again._ how are things? | us again. morning. how are things? 0k. us again. morning. how are things? 0k- settling- _ us again. morning. how are things? 0k. settling. lots— us again. morning. how are things? 0k. settling. lots of— us again. morning. how are things? 0k. settling. lots of help _ us again. morning. how are things? 0k. settling. lots of help up - us again. morning. how are things? 0k. settling. lots of help up there. | 0k. settling. lots of help up there. lots of help. the essentials are getting to people, with the exception of the villages cut off

villages that nobody has got to yet. people are still sitting outside their houses that have collapsed. family members still under rubble. this was out yesterday, 6pm, the last report i got. we have some people in their but they are not able to do their work. so we are trying. the british moroccan society. what we are doing is getting the essential things that people need to stay alive. that is what we are concentrating on, helping people stay alive. and like i said, the situation with the dead still under the collapsed houses is pretty bad. things beginning to smell. so, you know, that is how bad it is. last night again everybody slept in the street. irate

but it is just getting there. but we are getting there. we are getting there. we are not going to stop until we get there. we are here for a long time. until we get there. we are here for a long time-— until we get there. we are here for a long time. moroccan government have accepted _ a long time. moroccan government have accepted aid _ a long time. moroccan government have accepted aid from _ a long time. moroccan government have accepted aid from four - have accepted aid from four countries so far. but countries like france are offering help and those offers have not yet been accepted. as somebody there on the ground trying to help, what are your thoughts about the fact that the moroccan government seems to be quite slow in accepting the assistance from some countries? i don't really know the reasons why they are not accepting that help. but the ones that are here are making a massive difference. but there are areas that still needs to be covered. but the army is out there. we have seen in the last two days, the day before and yesterday, the increased movement of the moroccan army. so they are getting

up moroccan army. so they are getting up there. i can't answer the question as to why they are not accepting the help, to be honest, because we don't know why. i am uuuessin because we don't know why. i am guessing you _ because we don't know why. i am guessing you want _ because we don't know why. i am guessing you want as _ because we don't know why. i am guessing you want as much help as possible? guessing you want as much help as ossible? ~ ,,., , guessing you want as much help as ossible? ~ , ~ , guessing you want as much help as ossible? ~ , , , . possible? absolutely. absolutely. we could do with — possible? absolutely. absolutely. we could do with thousands _ possible? absolutely. absolutely. we could do with thousands of— could do with thousands of volunteers to help. there are volunteers, but not the professionals.- volunteers, but not the professionals. volunteers, but not the rofessionals. ., ~ , professionals. 0k. thank you very much indeed _ professionals. 0k. thank you very much indeed for _ professionals. 0k. thank you very much indeed for giving _ professionals. 0k. thank you very much indeed for giving us - professionals. 0k. thank you very much indeed for giving us that - much indeed for giving us that update. you stay safe. we are thinking of you. thank you. 6:36am. john is in manchester. the great britain davis cup team due to play this week. you look like you are about to play yourself. i do, yeah. i should you are about to play yourself. i do, yeah. ishould have you are about to play yourself. i do, yeah. i should have packed my racket. good morning. we are live in manchester this morning where the davis cup returns to manchester for the first time since 1994. a lot has happened since then. great britain obviously famously winning the

trophy last back in 2015. they are against it though if they are to try and win this competition, this famous competition, once again. they are facing matches against switzerland, they have got france and australia in their group if they are to reach the latter stages of this competition, which is staged in malaga in november. whilst there is a great bit of confidence inside these pretty sight that they can win that famous trophy once again, success is not the only thing they have been focusing on since arriving here in manchester. the scene is set. manchester 2023, the return of the davis cup. and for the gb team, it's not all about playing on the big stage, but getting the next generation involved. that it's come to the north—west, come to manchester for the first time in a very long time, is brilliant. you can see the energy of the city really looking forward to davis cup action. now the return of the davis cup to manchester for the first time in almost 30 years, doesn'tjust

bring new fans, but coincides with huge investment in public courts like these across the city. the government and the lta being involved together, £30 million of funding going in across the country, thousands of new courts, 40 of which are in the greater manchester area. so kids can come out, with their parents as well, and get involved in tennis. it's great. i was very lucky to live at the back of a tennis club. so i was always playing tennis at a very young age. but like these guys, they're playing at a very young age as well. so hopefully they can continue at it. hopefully we can inspire them to the next level. and yeah, it's great to have them in the local park. craigie, simba, how does it feel having an actual wimbledon champion here with you today? very good. yeah? - do you fancy being neal in a few years, winning wimbledon? yeah. love it. so cam, does it remind you about when you started, playing on courts like these? yeah, for sure. i remember back in the day playing tournaments on the concrete. and yeah, it definitely brings back a lot of positive memories.

if there's one tip you could give some of the kids here today who want to make it to the very top, what would it be? i think you've got to enjoy it and you got to enjoy being able to compete. we know the davis cup is all about the buzz and the atmosphere, isn't it — that's what makes it so special? yeah, the atmosphere. and it'sjust a different kind of pressure. you're not only playing for yourself, you're playing for your country, you're playing for the rest of your team. and you want to get through, and you want to show the country that you can compete and you can play. you've got members of the gb davis cup team coming down today. are you going to get a few tips from them, do you think? maybe. yeah? yeah. what do you think you want to work on — anything? eh, my left hand. your left hand. how good is it? how great is it you've got courts like this that are on your doorstep that you can come and play at? it's good because then you canjust like, come with your friends - or your family. we all know the davis cup

is about atmosphere. let's hear you, manchester. come on, gb! thanks very much, everyone. i think that this year is going to be magnified tenfold when play gets under way here at one o'clock today for the first match is to be staged as the davis cup makes that return, because the atmosphere is what the davis cup is all about. plenty of support going on this week. some big internationalfootball fixtures taking place. scotland host england tonight in a friendly to commemorate the 150th anniversary of their first meeting. and last night, wales eased the pressure on their manager rob page with a 2—0 win in latvia, a qualifying match for the european championship. joe lynskey reports. in good times and bad wales sing through it all. they came here on a run of one win in 13. and yet still there is hope. this was a last chance in latvia to revive their bid to reach the euros. in a match they had to win, they got the chance to ease the nerves.

the referee says yes! wales had just gone two games without scoring, but aaron ramsay stepped up and brushed off the tension. their last win away from home was nearly two years ago, and though latvia are ranked 134th in the world, they wouldn't make this straightforward. the home side could have been a man down, but the referee had a long look at the screen and stilljudged this a yellow card. that, for me, is a red card. the wales coach, with this form, had been under pressure. now rob paige and his team want to start a new chapter. finally, through david brooks they made this match safe. 2—0, three points, and wales now hope they have found their voice. joe lynskey, bbc news. former manchester united midfielder paul pogba has been provisionally suspended for allegedly violating anti—doping rules.

now atjuventus, italy's national anti—doping tribunal said pogba returned a test with elevated levels of testosterone last month. a statement released by his agent says the player never intended to break the rules. the french international has three days to produce a counter analysis. tom curry will attend a disciplinary hearing later today, following his red card in england's opening rugby world world cup match against argentina. curry was sent off for head contact in the third minute of england's opening game of the tournament. an initial yellow card was upgraded to red by a new review system. he is likely to face a two—game ban if he completes world rugby�*s coaching programme on tackling. we were touching on the atmosphere generated as part of the davis cup a little bit earlier. we know that is what makes this competition so unique. the unionjacks will be out. you can imagine the cheering, the

chanting. there are going to be 13,000 fans on here for gb�*s final group match on sunday, which could be the largest ever crowd for a home davis cup tie. of all the seats in this place, i think this is arguably the best place in the house. that is the best place in the house. that is the umpire's chair. can you imagine the pressure? too much pressure for me. you are right. you really are in the spotlight. 13,000 all staring into the back of your neck. before the end of the programme i expect you to be sitting in it. ok. go on. all right. it is a dare. i will take it. he is so tall he doesn't need to stop coming up to quarter to seven. female surgeons working in nhs hospitals are subjected to a culture of sexual harrassment and assaults by male colleagues — that's according to a staff survey. the research — described by the royal college of surgeons as "truly shocking" —

identifies a pattern of female trainees being abused by senior male surgeons. nhs england says it makes for difficult reading and provides clear evidence that action is needed. our health correspondent james gallagher reports. one example that i've got when i was a junior surgeon — so, the person with the least power in the operating theatre — is, i was assisting a consultant on a case. i guess he'd got a bit sweaty, but turned around and just buried his head right into my breasts. and i realised he was wiping his brow on me. and you just freeze, right? why is his face in my cleavage, you know? and then, a little while later, he turns around, he does exactly the same thing all over again. so i said, "excuse me, do you want me to get you a towel?" and he said, "no, this is much more fun." and it was the smirk, you know, just everything about it. i felt dirty, i felt humiliated. the operating theatre, home of

life—saving surgery performed by our brightest minds, and now revealed to be the scene of sexual assault. it was the fact that there were four consultants in that room, two registrars, a whole surgical scrub nurse team, and not a single person thought that that was wrong. and which was worse — the actual incident itself, or the silence of your colleagues? oh, absolutely, my colleagues' reaction. this person wasn't even the most senior person in the operating theatre, but he knew that that behaviour was ok, and that's just rotten. judith's experience was over a decade ago, but this report invited surgeons to share what happened in just the past five years. 1400 responded. the experience of women's surgeons is rarely talked about openly. for the first time, this report reveals the problem. more than 60% were sexually harassed, such as receiving

suggestive messages. almost 30% were sexually assaulted by a colleague, including instances of groping. nearly 11% experienced forced physical contact linked to the progression of their careers. the report states, "men and women surgeons are living a different reality." female surgeons have had their breasts fondled underneath their scrubs, and in the most serious cases have even been raped by their colleagues. we never had a conversation about anything that was not to do with work. i didn't know him well, but i trusted him. i looked up to him. and so he walked me back to the place i was staying. i thought he wanted to talk, and yet he just suddenly turned on me. and he had sex with me. ifoze — icouldn't stop him. and it's not what i wanted. it had never been what i'd wanted. it was totally unexpected.

and you were a trainee? yes. and he was a consultant? yes. the next day when i saw him, i was barely able to hold myself together. i can't quite imagine what it would be like to go through that, and then to have to turn up to work with that person. i didn't feel i could make a fuss. i felt like there was a very strong culture ofjust putting up with whatever was done to you. afterwards, i would be focusing on something at work, getting ready for an operation, for example, and the memory would come flooding into my mind like a horror, like a nightmare. more women choosing surgery as a career and getting into senior positions is helping to drive culture change. but these figures show that sexual assault and harassment are not yesterday's problem. so what needs to change? one of the report's authors tells me there's little faith that incidents will be properly investigated. the commonest scenario is that a junior female trainee is abused by a senior

male perpetrator, who is often their supervisor. and that results in a culture of silence, where people are in real fear of their future, in their careers, if they do speak up. we need there to be major change in investigation processes so that they become external and independent and are trusted, in order for healthcare to become a safe place to work. the royal college of surgeons of england said the findings were "truly shocking, incredibly upsetting", and that such "abhorrent behaviour" will not be tolerated. unless people talk about what the truth is, change will be much more difficult. so i wanted to talk because what actually happened to me should not happen to anyone. is surgery a safe place for women? not always. and that's a dreadful thing to have to admit. james gallagher, bbc news.

country. that keeps most of you dry. —— high pressure. cloud will take a while to be correct or break up. enjoy the sunshine in western scotland, northern ireland, because things will turn cloudy in the afternoon. could see wet and windy weather arrive before the day closes. how quickly it arrives is not known. for most, fresher afternoon. rain overnight through scotland and northern ireland spreads into northern england and wales, where it grinds to a halt. a real also feel through the night and into thursday across the north of scotland with a deep area of low pressure bringing widespread gains in the far north—west. we could tap back into humid air in east anglia and the south—east. dry on thursday with some sunny spells. that humid air will edge further northwards again into friday. we have that dividing line, like today, back again, stretching somewhere across the heart of the uk. probably across

some parts of northern ireland, northern england and wales. what we will see as we head towards the weekend, the greater chance of some outbreaks of rain around. if you have had enough of the heat and humidity, it is gone. if you want a bit of autumn, you will get a bit of that too. thank you. we have been talking about morocco and the church going on there after the earthquake of the weekend. i know you have been keeping an eye on the weather there because gatt could affect what the search teams are able to do? indeed. the weather — search teams are able to do? indeed. the weather has _ search teams are able to do? indeed. the weather has been _ search teams are able to do? indeed. the weather has been fairly _ search teams are able to do? indeed. the weather has been fairly quiet - the weather has been fairly quiet this week. still fairly hot but dry. there is an increasing chance of some severe storms developing on thursday and friday. they could be hit and miss. they will have a big impact. the last thing anybody needs at the moment is some severe weather. absolutely right. thank you. when somebody dies,

their loved ones will often donate money to research the illness that killed them, and mary scott has done exactly that, with a rather eye—catching sum. she gave a million pounds to brain tumour research in memory of her late husband mike. it's the biggest single donation the charity has ever received, and it will fund a paediatric research centre. fiona lamdin went to meet mary. he was very kind, very loving, very generous, a clever man. mike and mary were married for 47 years. but four years ago, when mike was in his late 605, they began to worry something was very wrong. i noticed that he was getting forgetful. he couldn't put emails together very easily. he became very confused. he fell over a couple of times. and he said to me the one day, "i think i'm going mad."

a few months later, mike was diagnosed with a grade four brain tumourand given a few months left to live. he used to say to me, "i'm not leaving you. i'm not going anywhere. i'll be ok." of course he wasn't ok. he was far from ok. mike died, aged 69. but despite her grief, mary has now donated money mike earned to fund a new research centre. what's being done here in mike's memory is a game changing donation. it's the biggest donation in the history of our charity in our15 years. it's going into bringing forward this new centre for research into paediatric brain tutors. it's an extraordinary, generous donation that really will make a difference for future paediatric brain tumour patients.

to lose an adult is bad enough, but to lose a child, an innocent child who hasn't lived, is the worst thing. so if this money can go towards a centre that can perhaps come up with a eureka moment, i always call it, his life hasn't been in vain. fiona lamdin, bbc news. incredible amount of money. that will really make a difference. well done, mary. coming up on breakfast... kamille has written hit songs for the likes of little mix, mabel and kylie minogue. now she's released her own album, and she'll be here to tell us all about it, just after nine.

she has got an incredible track record. and some very famous friends. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london. the head of the metropolitan police has described problems in london's force with a cancer which still needs to be cut out. he spoke 12 months on from taking on the job as commissioner, saint lifting the stone is always painful because you find things underneath that you did not expect. however, sir mark rowley also said that progress is being made. an advert has been banned on the london underground for being too unhealthy as it featured cheese. this is what the advert was supposed to look like, showing the offensive cheese in the middle. transport for london said the advert does not comply with their advertising policy as it

had food high in fat, sugar, and salt. a start—up company which made the cheese called the decision incredulous. adverts for alcohol are still allowed on the transport network. an amputee has spoken of her pride in taking on the challenge of what's called the red bull 400, where competitors run up a ski jump. milly pickles was told she'd never run again. but she's just become the first amputee to finish the red bull 400, where people run up a ski jump in austria. it's one of the most extreme races in europe. ijust thought, "what on earth am i about to do?" i think that's when it really hit me, that i'm an amputee. i've got three toes on my human foot. i've got shivers right now even thinking about it. and i was also just thinking about how far i've come, because there's a video of me when i've just come out of hospital, and i literally could not walk up

the smallest slope, i was so weak. and i just thought about the contrast and how far i've come, and that was making me emotional. more on that on our lunchtime news at 1.30. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on all lines this morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it was another warm and humid night last night. it is slowly getting a little cooler as we head through today. for today, some bright, some sunny spells, but also the potential for some heavy and thundery showers. now, we have already had one or two showers, light ones this morning. some bright and sunny spells. those heaviest showers moving through, rumbles of thunder potentially. the temperature still feeling humid, but it is slightly less warm than yesterday, 23 celsius the maximum. overnight tonight, any remnants of that cloud and rain starts to clear away south and eastwards, the cloud breaking up as we head into wednesday morning. it is going to be a cooler night

tonight, the minimum down to 13 celsius. so slightly more comfortable for sleeping. for thursday, the front tries to move south, but then it waves back north. as it does so, it drags in some humidity from the continent again. so through thursday and friday, some sunshine. the temperature getting a little warmer again. not quite as warm as last week, but it is going to feel more humid. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today — the hunt for sara sharif�*s father takes a dramatic twist as herfive siblings — who travelled to pakistan with him last month — are discovered at their grandfather's house. as the death toll in morocco reaches almost 3,000, the country is urged to accept offers of help from other nations. welcome to the a0 arena in manchester where the davis cup finals group stage begins today. great britain are one of 16 nations trying to make it through to the knockout phase. and i'll have the weather forecast for you.

good morning. it's tuesday the 12th of september. our main story — the search for the father of sara sharif has intensified, after his five other children were found by police in pakistan. the body of ten—year—old sara was discovered at her family home in woking last month, a day after her dad and his partner had fled the uk. her siblings have now been found at sara's grandfather's house, and he's told the bbc they'd been with him for over a month. with more details, here's our pakistan correspondent caroline davies. a locked gate the boundary. inside, the five children lived for over a month, while sara's grandfather said nothing. a power cut, so we talk by flashlight. translation: if someone asked about children, _ i would have said they are safe with me. it is my right. no—one can care about

them more than me. did urfan sharif and beenish batool, did they check in on what was happening with the children? they were on the run. they never phoned. maybe because if the police found out, they might be hard on me. they were not in contact. he shows us the yard they ran around in, the bedroom they slept in, and the toys they played with. this is the room that the children slept in for the course of over a month while they were staying in this house. and this is the room that they were in when the police came, according to the family here. they say that they were sitting and playing on the bed with these toys, and that when the police arrived, they began crying, that they said they didn't want to leave, that they were pulled by the police. and according to the family here, they say that the police didn't let them accompany them to the police station. the police chief says the children didn't resist leaving, and that they're now back with mohammed sharif.

pakistan police say they will be in touch with the uk authorities. and the search for urfan sharif, beenish batool, and fazal malik continues. caroline davies, bbc news. caroline is outside court this morning and sent us this update. police found these five children yesterday afternoon. they travel from the uk to pakistan with urfan sharif and his partner stop we now understand that they stayed with urfan sharif�*s father since that time, and he said that he had done throughout that entire time. the adults did not stay with them. according to muhammad sharif, he did not tell the police that he had the

children because the police never directly asked where they were. yesterday they were taken from muhammad sharif�*s house and were later reunited temporarily with muhammad sharif, and we were told there would be a discussion in court today about it. we are still waiting today about it. we are still waiting to hear what will happen with that court discussion, and what the future might be of these children, what will happen with them next. caroline davies reporting for us. a proposal to ban disposable vapours could be unveiled by the government as early as next week —— vapes. that as early as next week -- vapes. at the as early as next week —— vapes. git the moment, it is actually illegal to sell a victor somebody under 18 —— cell eight vape to somebody under

18 -- —— cell eight vape to somebody under 18 —— sell a vape. the government is trying to reduce the number of young people vaping, and it looks like that might be coming back quite soon, and it might include something quite radical. it has not been ruled out in government today that disposable vapes might be banned. the government does not want to go as far as australia has and ban recreational vaping altogether, because the position of the government is that you might remember chris whitty from covid, he gave a speech earlier this year, he is still the chief medical officer for england, where he said that vaping is much safer than smoking, so he wanted to be retained as an option for people trying to quit

smoking, but if you do not smoke or you are a child, you absolutely should not start vaping. we are not expecting the government to ban a vaping altogether, but it looks as though the government is trying to rule out single use of apes as a way of stopping children in particular from getting into vaping. henry, thank ou from getting into vaping. henry, thank you for— from getting into vaping. henry, thank you for that _ from getting into vaping. henry, thank you for that update. - authorities in eastern libya say 2,000 people have been killed and many more are missing after a powerful storm caused flooding and mudslides. these pictures show the al—marj area. further east, the port of derna has been declared a disaster zone, after two dams and four bridges reportedly collapsed. morocco's government is under pressure to accept more international aid,

following friday's earthquake — which is now known to have killed more than 2,800 people. so far, morocco has accepted help from the uk, spain, qatar, and the united arab emirates. our correspondent nick beake joined the first convoys of aid to reach some of the most remote villages in the atlas mountains. finally, help is on its way to the most remote victims of this disaster. we'rejoining a team of spanish firefighters, the first rescuers to negotiate this treacherous mountain road now that the path has been cleared. in the hours after the quake, screams rang out here, but the trapped couldn't be freed. then the screams turned to silence. these dogs are trained to find the living. they're detecting nothing.

the villagers in this place have been using their hands and shovels to go through the rubble, desperately trying to find their loved ones. but the grim reality is there is now a stench of death that hangs in the air here. all hope of finding people alive has now surely vanished. and it's taking its toll. this fractured community, already isolated, is increasingly angry. these spanish rescuers responded to turkey's earthquake in february, where people were pulled out alive days later. but conditions are very different here. here, the house is building with rocks, and in turkey, made with steel. and so it's more strong than this type of house. so here it's very little hope that you'll find any more people alive? yeah.

we move on to the next village, where frustration is also rising in the unrelenting heat. the moroccan authorities are under pressure to accept more help from more countries. this is, after all, the most challenging of locations. no more so than this village, now slumped on the edge of the mountainside. it's hard to believe this grotesque heap was home to 28 people. just seven of them survived. this is omar, still waiting for his two daughters to be found, hanin, 17, khadija,14. they have found them, two sisters inseparable in life, and now united in death. as his girls are lifted from the rubble, ibrahim says he wants to send a message.

translation: iwant people to help me. i i want the world to help me. i lost my kids, my home, everything i own. his son is now his only child. rescue teams have now reached these most remote parts of the atlas mountains, but what we have witnessed here today perfectly encapsulates the tragedy of this disaster. people either died immediately, orfor so many, the help simply did not come soon enough. nick beake, bbc news, in the atlas mountains. some wilko shops will begin to close today after a rescue deal for the collapsed retail

chain fell through. 24 stores will open for the final time this morning, with all 400 wilko branches set to close by october. more than 12,000 people are likely to be made redundant by the closures. in the last few minutes, we've just had the latestjobs and employment figures. ben's here to talk us through them. important to say the figures, let me give you the headlines, between may and july, average wages excluding bonuses, rose by 7.8% compared with the same period a year earlier. that means that pay is growing at the same rate as it did in the april to june period, when it was also at 7.8%. remember it as an average, so some people have got a bigger pay rises than that, some people or less, but the averages of 7.8%. you cannot look at figure on its own, of course, because the real value of any pay rises will depend on how quickly prices are rising. that determines what you get for your money when you spend your wagers on

goods and services. for the past year or so, wages have not kept up with prices. so in real terms, pay was and that is the reason for the cost of living crisis that we speak about so often, that many are feeling right now, and that is why we have seen strikes or industrial action as workers push for better pay deals. these latest figures tell that that gap now seems to have closed, wages rising on a part with prices. but where you work makes a difference, because those in the private sector so average pay rises of 8.1% compared with public sector average pay rises of 6.6%. another important factor, let me just mention, important factor, let mejust mention, pensions, there important factor, let me just mention, pensions, there is something called the triple lock, the figures today mean that in april, pensions are set to rise by at least 7.8%. you might think if we saw higher pay rises, remember that

higher pay rises could further fuel inflation, so it will be looking at these figures when it makes its decisions on whether to raise interest rates further at its next meeting when it decides that. but we will crunch the numbers are little more in detail, but those are the headline figures and what they mean for you. thank you, ben. the time is 7.13. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we have a stunning weather watcher shot from london, the cloud overhead a bit of indication of rain are trying to come out, evaporating before it hits the ground, there is canary wharf in the ground, there is canary wharf in the distance. but here it is eight in celsius still this morning, temperatures have not dropped away much, same across southern england and wales, but contrast that with parts of scotland and northern

ireland, it distant autumn chill in the air this morning. separating the two we have outbreaks of rain, especially across parts of northern england, into the midlands, using a little bit away from wales at the moment, but a few showers drifting across the south—east, although as you saw from that picture in london, some of that not reaching the ground right now. the rain will sit across parts of the midlands, yorkshire, all day long, as well as lincolnshire, to the north of it, scotland and northern ireland, a lovely day for the majority, lots of sunshine around. a fresher feel, but should still feel pleasant in the sunshine. brightening up towards western parts of wales, south—western run, still quite humid in the south and east, attempt continued to fall away, but that humidity is there and it means that any showers we see a special into the afternoon and evening, could be heavy and thundery. the heaviest of the rain across parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire starting to ease off by then but still lots of cloud across northern england and the midlands and a good part of wales throughout the day. tonight that most towards east anglia and the south—east, could be some drizzle,

but most places dry and clear and much chillier than we have been used to, down to around one celsius and some rural parts of scotland. there could even be a touch of frost on the ground fostering for one or two, but by and large the brightest day of the week, but we will see cloud and rain gather, especially across the north for the end of the week, with it some windy weather, too. matt, thank you. with the days getting shorter, it won't be long until many of us are driving to and from work in the dark, potentially after a bad night's sleep or a long shift. and that can be extremely dangeous. let's look at some stats. around 100,000 serious road accidents will take place on the roads of great britain in an average year, and road safety campaigners estimate that 10—20% of collisions are caused, at least in part, by driverfatigue. they also say that one in eight people has admitted to falling asleep at the wheel. two years ago,

alex earle's wife rosie was killed by a driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel after a night shift. hejoins us now, along with ross moorlock, from the road safety campaign group brake. good morning. alex, iappreciate this is not an easy thing for you to talk about, but if you could tell us a little bit about the circumstances around what happens to your wife. rosie was driving to work, she was a rain conductor, and she was driving to work early one morning, and she went on to the lincoln bypass, a very straight road, and that is when the collision happened, early hours. so sorry. this issue of drivers being asleep, orfalling so sorry. this issue of drivers being asleep, or falling asleep, having been too tired, explain why that particularly means so much to you. that particularly means so much to ou. ~ ., , ., , , , you. well, obviously my life turned u side you. well, obviously my life turned upside down _ you. well, obviously my life turned upside down because _ you. well, obviously my life turned upside down because of— you. well, obviously my life turned upside down because of that - you. well, obviously my life turned i upside down because of that reason,

that the last labour government did for people like me, growing up on a council estate. but we have different challenges today, we have a tory government that is failing the country for 13 years now, a crisis in our economy because they crashed it, and we have real challenges around infrastructure, and it feels like britain is broken at the moment, all of the infrastructure is collapsing because the tories have failed to invest in britain, we know that is the challenge of today, and that is why we have been outlining that to get us on a long—term plan to build our country for the better. you will have heard _ country for the better. you will have heard the _ country for the better. you will have heard the news _ country for the better. you will have heard the news that - country for the better. you will have heard the news that one i country for the better. you will. have heard the news that one of the keyissues have heard the news that one of the key issues of the day today is that overall wages have increased by around 8%, though important figure. this could then mean an increase of 8% on the state pension because of the triple lock. do you support that? . ., .,. the triple lock. do you support that? . ., ., that? the challenge we face at the moment is. _ that? the challenge we face at the moment is, whilst _ that? the challenge we face at the moment is, whilst we _ that? the challenge we face at the moment is, whilst we talk- that? the challenge we face at the moment is, whilst we talk about .

we will not make spending commitments when we do not know what the circumstances are, but the last labour government took over 1 million pensioners out of poverty, the next labour government will ensure that pensioners and children and everyone in the uk can get on, but we will not do that if we have got stagnation and we do not have a growth strategy like this government has failed to do at the moment. in 2019 in their manifesto, labour also promised to keep the triple lock. since 2019, the government has crashed the economy, and we are in a very different place. what labour has said is that we will look at that in the run—up to a general election, but we will not make unfunded spending commitments, because liz truss did that, she trashed the economy. she made unfunded tax cuts, that crashed our economy, and working people paid the price of that. the labour party will secure our economy, though the economy, and have a real industrial strategy that means that people can get on in life, and there are

businesses that want to invest in the uk, they can have the confidence to do so. 50 the uk, they can have the confidence to do so. , the uk, they can have the confidence to do so. . ., the uk, they can have the confidence to do so. , ., , to do so. so 'ust to get this clear for me, to do so. so 'ust to get this clear for me. — to do so. so just to get this clear for me. are you _ to do so. so just to get this clear for me, are you not _ to do so. so just to get this clear for me, are you not committed l to do so. so just to get this clear| for me, are you not committed to keeping the triple lock on pensions? we will have to see where we are when we get to a general election and we see the finances. we will not make unfunded spending commitments. but the last labour government raised millions of pensioners and children out of poverty. we are now seeing, after 13 years of the conservatives, pension is�* living standards going back, children in poverty again. we have got to reverse that, and we know that is the mission of the next labour government. but we will not do it if we make unfunded spending commitments. so we will set out our spending commitments, the general election, and then the people can decide who they think is best to run the economy. this decide who they think is best to run the economy-— decide who they think is best to run the economy. this is not necessarily about a manifesto _ the economy. this is not necessarily about a manifesto pledge, - the economy. this is not necessarily about a manifesto pledge, it - the economy. this is not necessarily about a manifesto pledge, it is - the economy. this is not necessarily about a manifesto pledge, it is not i about a manifesto pledge, it is not about a manifesto pledge, it is not about what you might do if labour comes to power, this decision about pensions is happening next year. where do you stand on it? the

government did not vote with them, they have not taken the action, so i welcome in coming to the table with some ideas, but they have failed so far. �* ., ., , some ideas, but they have failed so far. ~ . ., ~ i. , far. angela rayner, thank you very much indeed- _ far. angela rayner, thank you very much indeed. lots _ far. angela rayner, thank you very much indeed. lots more _ far. angela rayner, thank you very much indeed. lots more to - far. angela rayner, thank you very much indeed. lots more to come i far. angela rayner, thank you very | much indeed. lots more to come in the next half hour. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. the head of the metropolitan police has described problems in london's force as a cancer which still needs to be cut out. he spoke 12 months on from taking on the job as commissioner, saying lifting the stone is always painful because you find things underneath that you did not expect.

however, sir mark also said that progress is being made. an advert has been banned on the london underground for being too unhealthy as it featured cheese. this is what the advert was supposed to look like, showing the offensive cheese in the middle. transport for london said the advert does not comply with their advertising policy, as it had food high in fat, sugar, and salt. a start—up company which made the cheese called the decision incredulous. adverts for alcohol are still allowed on the transport network. an amputee has spoken of a pride in taking on the challenge of the red bull 400, where competitors run up a ski jump in one of the words steepest uphill sprints. milly pickles had her leg amputated six years ago after being electrocuted. she spent ten weeks in hospital. she has now become the first amputee to finish the spread in slovenia. ijust thought, "what on earth am i about to do?"

i think that's when it really hit me, that i'm an amputee. i've got three toes on my human foot. i've got shivers right now even thinking about it. and i was also just thinking about how far i've come, because there's a video of me when i've just come out of hospital, and i literally could not walk up the smallest slope, i was so weak. and i just thought about the contrast and how far i've come, and that was making me emotional. unacceptable delays — that's the claim from some drivers who are trying to get scrappage payments from transport for london for vehicles they've had destoryed. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it was another warm and humid night last night. it is slowly getting a little cooler as we head through today. for today, some bright, some sunny spells, but also the potential for some heavy and thundery showers. now, we have already had one or two showers, light ones this morning. some bright and sunny spells. those heaviest showers moving through, rumbles of thunder potentially.

the temperature still feeling humid, but it is slightly less warm than yesterday, 23 celsius the maximum. overnight tonight, any remnants of that cloud and rain starts to clear away south and eastwards, the cloud breaking up as we head into wednesday morning. it is going to be a cooler night tonight, the minimum down to 13 celsius. so slightly more comfortable for sleeping. for thursday, the front tries to move south, but then it waves back north. as it does so, it drags in some humidity from the continent again. so through thursday and friday, some sunshine. the temperature getting a little warmer again. not quite as warm as last week, but it is going to feel more humid. if you want to see one of my colleagues zip wiring between two london skyscrapers, go to the website. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay.

as we've been hearing, the number of people known to have died in morocco continues to rise, following the country's deadliest earthquake in 60 years. in many remote areas of the atlas mountains, survivors have had to use basic tools, orjust their bare hands, to dig through the rubble of collapsed buildings in search of loved ones. professional rescue teams from morocco and other countries have begun to arrive and work around the clock, but the time since the quake, and the nature of the collapsed buildings, means the hope of finding survivors are fading fast. with entire communities reduced to rubble, livelihoods lost, if and the colder weather coming, how does morocco start to rebuild and where should aid agencies focuse their efforts? shreen mahmood is from the charity international learning movement uk, and tom godfrey is from the frontline medical aid charity uk—med.

for me, was when we went into a child because my bedroom and there was rubble from the bedroom —— from the ceiling all over her bed. i can just imagine what families went through when the initial 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck. shocking to hear. we know the moroccan government has accepted help and aid from the uk. from spain, qatarand the help and aid from the uk. from spain, qatar and the uae. but not from every country that is offering assistance. i wasjust from every country that is offering assistance. i was just wondering, what do you make of their decision to apparently hold back a bit for now? ., . ., �* to apparently hold back a bit for now? . �* ,, ., ., now? yeah, i can't speak for that because i — now? yeah, i can't speak for that because i am _ now? yeah, i can't speak for that because i am not _ now? yeah, i can't speak for that because i am not entirely - now? yeah, i can't speak for that because i am not entirely sure, l now? yeah, i can't speak for that l because i am not entirely sure, but it is all hands on deck. i can tell you the community have responded well, even the moroccan people from all of the cities, they are packing their cars, their vans, with mattresses, blankets. the

temperature drops overnight really low. especially in the mountain areas. so people are sleeping outdoors. but it is without anything protecting them. the women, children, just under the stars. no tents, no blankets. ouraim is to provide them with that. there is no privacy. a lot of these women choose to wear the hijab or the kneecap. but they don't have that privacy any more. they are too scared to go into own homes. —— kneecap. tom godfrey, what is the situation on the ground?— tom godfrey, what is the situation on the ground? what have you seen? as the on the ground? what have you seen? its the previous _ on the ground? what have you seen? as the previous speaker _ on the ground? what have you seen? as the previous speaker was - on the ground? what have you seen? as the previous speaker was saying, i as the previous speaker was saying, access— as the previous speaker was saying, access is— as the previous speaker was saying, access is most difficult to the most remote _ access is most difficult to the most remote areas. there is a visible

that ball is going to bounce off this service. i was at the umpire's chair earlier on. the best seat in the house. this may well be the second—best seat of greg maggie has. this is where the gb captain leon smith will sit with andy murray, or is selected. —— the seat of team gb. this is where andy murray will sit alongside the captain. they can talk tactics, which is what makes this team event so unique. very different when you're out there on your own playing a singles match at wimbledon. but here you will sit alongside your captain. they call it the world cup of tennis. that is how special the davis cup is. tb last won it back in 2015. they have their eyes on success. andy murray said yesterday he believes this team can go on to win the davis cup yet again. but success is not the only thing they have been focused on since arriving in manchester. they have been out and about in the

community. the scene is set. manchester 2023, the return of the davis cup. and for the gb team, it's not all about playing on the big stage, but getting the next generation involved. that it's come to the north—west, come to manchester for the first time in a very long time, is brilliant. you can see the energy of the city really looking forward to davis cup action. now the return of the davis cup to manchester for the first time in almost 30 years, doesn'tjust bring new fans, but coincides with huge investment in public courts like these across the city. the government and the lta being involved together, £30 million of funding going in across the country, thousands of new courts, 40 of which are in the greater manchester area. so kids can come out, with their parents as well, and get involved in tennis. it's great. i was very lucky to live at the back of a tennis club. so i was always playing tennis at a very young age. but like these guys, they're playing at a very young age as well. so hopefully they can continue at it.

hopefully we can inspire them to the next level. and yeah, it's great to have them in the local park. craigie, simba, how does it feel having an actual wimbledon champion here with you today? very good. yeah? - do you fancy being neal in a few years, winning wimbledon? yeah. i love it. so cam, does it remind you about when you started, playing on courts like these? yeah, for sure. i remember back in the day playing tournaments on the concrete. and yeah, it definitely brings back a lot of positive memories. if there's one tip you could give some of the kids here today who want to make it to the very top, what would it be? i think you've got to enjoy it and you got to enjoy being able to compete. we know the davis cup is all about the buzz and the atmosphere, isn't it — that's what makes it so special? yeah, the atmosphere. and it'sjust a different kind of pressure. you're not only playing for yourself, you're playing for your country, you're playing for the rest of your team. and you want to get through, and you want to show the country that you can compete and you can play. you've got members of the gb

davis cup team coming down today. are you going to get a few tips from them, do you think? maybe. yeah? yeah. what do you think you want to work on — anything? eh, my left hand. your left hand. how good is it? how great is it you've got courts like this that are on your doorstep that you can come and play at? it's good because then you canjust like, come with your friends - or your family. we all know the davis cup is about atmosphere. let's hear you, manchester. come on, gb! thanks very much, everyone. leon smith will tell us a little bit later on, just after half past eight, how special that atmosphere is going to be. that you will be nothing compared to what the gb team will face when they play tomorrow here. interesting to get his thoughts as well, what tactics he will be talking to andy murray about as well. some big international football matches at the moment. a

big win for wales. wales eased the pressure on their manager rob page last night, with a 2—0 win in latvia in a qualifying match for the european championship. midfielder david brooks scored the second goal in riga — his first for wales since having treatment for cancer. the result reignited wales' hopes of making it to euro 2024. it wasjust their second win in 14 games. i'm extremely proud of the players first and foremost. i think the camp has been outstanding. i've got a group of players in there that enjoy playing football for me. i've got a great staff. and we never questioned it. the pressure come from outside, understandably, but we never questioned it in the group. we knew that we had to give a positive reaction after the disappointment ofjune. and we absolutely have, and some. scotland are on the brink of reaching next year's euros. that place could be secured later today, if norway and georgia draw in oslo.

they'll be keeping one eye on that fixture but kicking time they are taking on england in a friendly at hampden park in glasgow. it's the oldest international fixture in football, first played in 1872. i've lived in england more than half my life. i've got english children, english grandchildren. i'm comfortable down there. i tend not to read any sort of nonsense about comparing the two levels of football. ijust deal with my own little world. i'm a strange person in that way. certainly in my lifetime england have probably moved a little bit further in front. we're trying to close the gap on them. this is a very good scotland team, there's no question about that. i think steve has done a brilliantjob. i really like steve. he's a very understated guy. but he's a real competitor and he's an excellent coach. so, he's done a brilliant job with the team. they have some very good players.

and they are on a really good run, so full of confidence. former manchester united midfielder paul pogba has been provisionally suspended for allegedly violating anti—doping rules. now atjuventus, italy's national anti—doping tribunal said pogba returned a test with elevated levels of testosterone last month. a statement released by his agent says the player never are intended to break the rules. the french international has three days to produce a counter analysis. tom curry will attend a disciplinary hearing later today following his red card in england's opening rugby world world cup match against argentina. curry was sent off for head contact in the third minute of england's opening game of the tournament. an initial yellow card was upgraded to red by a new review system. he is likely to face a two game ban if he completes world rugby�*s coaching programme on tackling.

my because all the latest from france out of this world cup. and what a start it has been so far. we are looking forward to the start of the davis cup today. gb not in action until tomorrow. they call it the world cup of tennis and captain leon smithjoining me here after half past eight. he will be talking tactics. he will not give any of those tactics away. not yet anyway. he will be keeping his cards close to his chest. it's going to show any secrets with the weather? good morning. it is all there to be seen outside the window. a lovely shot this morning. just come in from the highlands. a rainbow. a few showers dotted around. a lovely day across much of scotland and northern ireland. a chilly start. temperatures three to 5 degrees for some. contrast that with southern parts of england and wales. we have still got the humid air with us.

temperatures in the upper teens. a lot of cloud around. a few showers. separating those two, more persistent rain. that is part of the north midlands and northern in them, especially parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire. heavy rain to take us through good part of the day. lots of sunshine developing around it. more of a breeze in recent days. brightening up towards the west of wales, settling in. sundry downpours possible in east anglia. cloud across the central sway. temperatures 15, 16 degrees. a big drop in last week. but the humid air still continues to the south and east, even though temperatures are down on what they were yesterday. tonight, some of the rain continues down the eastern counties. they could be drizzle from the cloud as it moves south. temperatures not dropping away vastly. still in the teens for some. for most of the uk

are much fresher start tomorrow. we could even see a touch of frost in some scottish lines as we start wednesday morning. it is actually good to be one of the drier, brighter days of the week. high pressure across the uk to begin with. the cloud crossed east anglia and the south—east will break up. more of a breeze. we should see some sunshine through the afternoon. enjoy the morning sunshine in the west of scotland and northern ireland. the afternoon, rain works its way in. a stiffening breeze. that will limit the temperature rise. elsewhere, back to where we should be for this stage of the year. rain overnight in scotland and northern ireland. into thursday grinds to a halt. an autumnal feeling day in the north and west of scotland, with strong to gale force winds and frequent showers. the humidityjust creeping up again towards east anglia and the south—east. 23, 20 four celsius. that humidity will creep back northwards again. a dividing line much like we have got today,

somewhere across the central swathes of the uk. that is where we see the heaviest rain. eventually working its way further northwards into the weekend. you can still expect some further outbreaks of rain towards the end of the week. temperatures are holding at levels where they should be at this stage in autumn. a few brighter spells this weekend. more rain than we are seeing at the moment. perhaps a sense of autumn rather than fulham autumn. —— full on autumn. thank you. the former world champion boxer amir khan has had plenty of fights in the ring. but his new autobiography also includes plenty of his battles outside the ropes. from a two—year doping ban, to being targeted by armed robbers, it's all in there. amirjoins us now. are you feeling at home here in the ring? i do, yeah. i love the feel of the boxing gloves, the ring. we have everything here. the boxing gloves, the ring. we have everything here-—

that allegation? you it like living with that ban and that allegation?— it like living with that ban and that allegation? it like living with that ban and that alleuation? ., ~' ., �* , that allegation? you know, it's sad, because obviously _ that allegation? you know, it's sad, because obviously i _ that allegation? you know, it's sad, because obviously i never— that allegation? you know, it's sad, because obviously i never wanted i that allegation? you know, it's sad, j because obviously i never wanted to finish my career off with something like this, by being banned from boxing. you see after the fight against kell brook i decided boxing was not for me. i need to walk away from the sport. i kind of lost love for the sport. obviously when the ban happened it upset me and my fans. you can be seen as a cheater all your career. that is something i was or was against. i fought against this. i went to a tribunal and spoke to the people there and said, no, i have never cheated, i never wilted. once the evidence was put together, they gave me a two—year ban. —— i never will. they gave me a two—year ban. —— i neverwill. it they gave me a two—year ban. —— i never will. it is in your system. it was unintentional.— never will. it is in your system. it was unintentional. you must look back at that _ was unintentional. you must look back at that time _

when it was in my system, when i tested positive for it, because prior to that i think i must have done another ten tests before that and they were all negative. like i said, it's good to see that. a lot of these boards out there are much cleaner. the book has all of these in it. —— a lot of the sports. i probably go into more detail about what really happened. other things like my family guy. i what really happened. other things like my family guy.— like my family guy. i was going to ask ou like my family guy. i was going to ask you about _ like my family guy. i was going to ask you about your _ like my family guy. i was going to ask you about your family - like my family guy. i was going to ask you about your family life. - like my family guy. i was going to | ask you about your family life. you have me very open about that. we have me very open about that. we have seen behind the scenes on tv with live at home. what is the impact being on you, your mind, your behaviour, of the stress of the last year or two?— behaviour, of the stress of the last year or two? leaving boxing, boxing is something — year or two? leaving boxing, boxing is something that _ year or two? leaving boxing, boxing is something that was _ year or two? leaving boxing, boxing is something that was always - year or two? leaving boxing, boxing is something that was always in - year or two? leaving boxing, boxing is something that was always in my | is something that was always in my life. and then walking away from the sport of boxing, leaving it behind, its like, what do i do now? it's like, what do i do now?

the gym. since i have been retired, believe it or not, it's like i don't want to go to the gym because it was a job for me to go to the gym all the time. now it's more like i walk past the gym instead of going into the gym. you know when you have done it all your life, you are like, i want to move onto something else and not not train no more. eat what i want, sleep when i want to sleep, drink when i want. that discipline is gone. is drink when i want. that discipline is one. . . drink when i want. that discipline isaone. . . is gone. is that risky? in your personal— is gone. is that risky? in your personal life _ is gone. is that risky? in your personal life as _ is gone. is that risky? in your personal life as well, - is gone. is that risky? in your personal life as well, not - is gone. is that risky? in your i personal life as well, not having discipline, is that risky?- personal life as well, not having discipline, is that risky? yeah, it can be, discipline, is that risky? yeah, it can be. it _ discipline, is that risky? yeah, it can be. it can't _ discipline, is that risky? yeah, it can be, it can't be. _ discipline, is that risky? yeah, it can be, it can't be. it— discipline, is that risky? yeah, it can be, it can't be. it is- discipline, is that risky? yeah, it can be, it can't be. it is in - discipline, is that risky? yeah, it can be, it can't be. it is in the i can be, it can't be. it is in the book as well. i talk about this. sometimes it is good to have like a sport pushing you because it keeps the discipline, keeps you on the right path, keeps you motivated hand obviously pushes you to the right things, to do the right things, normally my day would be to wake up in the morning, go for a run, come

london underground for being too unhealthy as it featured cheese. this is what the advert was supposed to look like, showing the offensive cheese in the middle. transport for london said the advert does not comply with their advertising policy as it had food high in fat, sugar, and salt. a start—up company which made the cheese called the decision incredulous. let's take a look at the tubes now. no service on the overground between barking and barking riverside due to a signalfailure. and minor delays on thejubilee line are due to a shortage of trains. a good service elsewhere. a mainly dry day for most of us, but don't be surprised this afternoon if there is the odd sharp shower. it will feel much cooler thanit shower. it will feel much cooler than it has of late, especially last week, top temperature of 23 sources.

-- 23 week, top temperature of 23 sources. —— 23 celsius. the crumbling concrete found in schools recently has now been found in parliament. we would be shot down like the schools? you can read about it on our website. bye for now. —— will it be shot down? —— shut down? good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today — the hunt for sara sharif�*s father takes a dramatic twist as her five siblings, who travelled to pakistan with him last month, are discovered at their grandfather's house. a proposal to ban single—use vapes could be unveiled by the government as early as next week. a major study finds that female surgeons working in nhs hospitals are subjected to a culture of sexual harrassment and assaults by male colleagues. the latestjobs figures show that average pay is now in line with inflation. that means pensions could potentially rise by 8.5% under the triple lock. i'll have the details.

welcome to the a0 arena in manchester, where the davis cup finals group stage begins today. great britain are one of 16 nations trying to make it through to the knockout phase. and i'll have the weather forecast. good morning. it's tuesday the 12th of september. our main story — the search for the father of sara sharif has intensified, after his five other children

were found by police in pakistan. the body of ten—year—old sara was discovered at her family home in woking last month, a day after her dad and his partner had fled the uk. her siblings have now been found at sara's grandfather's house, and he's told the bbc they'd been with him for over a month. with more details, here's our pakistan correspondent caroline davies. a locked gate the boundary. inside, the five children lived for over a month, while sara's grandfather said nothing. a power cut, so we talk by flashlight. translation: if someone asked about children, _ i would have said they are safe with me. it is my right. no—one can care about them more than me. did urfan sharif and beenish batool, did they check in on what was happening with the children? they were on the run. they never phoned. maybe because if the police found out, they might be hard on me. they were not in contact. he shows us the yard they ran around in, the bedroom they slept in, and the toys they played with. this is the room that the children slept in for the course of over a month while they were staying in this house.

and this is the room that they were in when the police came, according to the family here. they say that they were sitting and playing on the bed with these toys, and that when the police arrived, they began crying, that they said they didn't want to leave, that they were pulled by the police. and according to the family here, they say that the police didn't let them accompany them to the police station. the police chief says the children didn't resist leaving, and that they're now back with muhammad sharif. pakistan police say they will be in touch with the uk authorities. and the search for urfan sharif, beenish batool, and faisal malik continues. caroline davies, bbc news. a proposal to ban disposable vapes could be unveiled by the government as early as next week. our chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us now from westminster. henry, what more do we know?

chris ritter, the chief medical officerfor england, he chris ritter, the chief medical officer for england, he gave an interesting speech earlier this year when he said vaping is actually useful for some people when he said vaping is actually usefulfor some people because it is healthier and safer than smoking should sir chris and vaping is a very bad thing if it is advertised to children. what you are starting to get trickling out of government is there a way of putting the general public health approach into practice, it sounds like we might get the government announcing some measures on this perhaps as soon as next week, and i think what we will be hearing from the government is that they really want to crack down on vaping among children, and this is how they plan to go about it. children, and this is how they plan to go about it— to go about it. interesting. henry, thank ou to go about it. interesting. henry, thank you very _ to go about it. interesting. henry, thank you very much _ to go about it. interesting. henry, thank you very much indeed - to go about it. interesting. henry, thank you very much indeed for i to go about it. interesting. henry, i thank you very much indeed for that. morocco's government is under pressure to accept more international aid, following friday's earthquake, which is now known to have killed more than 2,800 people.

so far, morocco has accepted help from the uk, spain, qatar, and the united arab emirates. our correspondent tom bateman is in marrakesh. tom, why is the morrocan government declining foreign aid, and at this stage, what kind of help is required? the first reason is that they waited until sunday, remember that earthquake took place on friday night, and for countries to send in, governments to send in, their own rescue teams, their own humanitarian operations, they have to have a formal request from the moroccans. that did not happen until a good 48 hours or so after the earthquake, and when it did, it was quite limited. they have all deployed tombs, many of them out on the ground already, but the reason they have not been more according to the

moroccan government was that they said they did not want to be effectively swamped or overwhelmed, so that they could contain the deployment and this big operation, and try to keep it under control. this has not gone down that well with some people we have spoken to, who think in general the entire official operation rescue and recovery and humanitarian hasjust been too slow, too patchy, it is felt uncoordinated to many people in those very remote high atlas mountains. that is all having an effect. you can see here, people here in marrakesh where there was far less damage, have spent a fourth night out in the open, people who do not want to return to damaged homes, as we made our way through that very rugged remote region in the high atlas mountains yesterday, we found that kind of scene replicated, with many thousands of people still having to spend the night outside, still having news, still waiting for news about loved ones under rubble,

with many people still missing. tam. with many people still missing. tom, thank ou with many people still missing. tom, thank you for— with many people still missing. tom, thank you for now. _ authorities in eastern libya say 2,000 people have been killed and many more are missing after a powerful storm caused flooding and mudslides. these pictures show the al—marj area. further east the port of derna has been declared a disaster zone, after two dams and four bridges reportedly collapsed. the north korean leader kimjong—un has arrived in russia, where he'll meet president putin in vladivostock to discuss a possible arms deal. these pictures of him leaving pyongyang on sunday have just been released by north korean state media. he travelled to the russian border on a private armoured train. in the last hour, we've had the latest figures on jobs and average wage increases from the government, and they're relevant not

just to people in work, but also those on a state pension. ben's here to tell us why. there are a lot of important numbers out this morning, but there's a really key one that affects pensioners. as things stand, from april next year, the state pension is due to rise by at least 8:5%.if you're on the basic state pension ofjust over £200 a week — that works out as an increase of £13 a week — or if you retired after april 2016 and you're on the new flat—rate pension, an extra £17 a week. that's because of a guarantee known as the triple lock. since 2011, it has guaranteed that pensions go up each april by either 2.5% or in line with september's inflation figure, or in line with average total pay rises in the may tojuly period, which was 8.5%, whichever of those is higher. but there have been rumblings about

whether the triple lock guarantee will remain, with the uncertainty long term that it creates for both pensioners and for the government around what pensions will be worth and how much they cost to fund. the prime minister said last week that it remains government policy, but would not give any guarantee when pushed on whether it will feature in the next conservative manifesto. thank you, ben. some wilko shops will begin to close today after a rescue deal for the collapsed retail chain fell through. 24 stores will open for the final time this morning, with all 400 wilko branches set to close by october. more than 12,000 people are likely to be made redundant by the closures. a third of medical students in the uk say they plan to go abroad to work, with many not coming back, according to a survey. the department of health and social care says it plans to recruit and retain hundreds of thousands more nhs staff

over the next 15 years. pubs in england and wales will be allowed to keep selling takeaway pints, after the government extended the relaxed licensing laws first introduced during the pandemic. they've already been extended twice, and will now run for another 18 months. a woman who is hoping to become the first person with a stoma to swim the channel is well on her way to achieving that goal. gill castle set off from dover last night. she's now in french waters and just a few miles off the coast. she's had a stoma for the past 12 years after being injured during childbirth. we'll have the full story of gill's swim on tomorrow's breakfast. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather.

good at this morning's weather. morning. fairly calm co good morning. fairly calm conditions in the channel this morning. further north, not particularly bad as far as wind is concerned, but quite a bit of rain this morning through the central swathes of the country, drops of rain you can see in the canal here in staffordshire, and thatis canal here in staffordshire, and that is because we have got a big temperature contrast fighting it out across the uk. if we are in the south, those conditions continue, but further north, three to five celsius for some in scotland and northern ireland. our of rain across northern and run, the midlands, part of wales in the south—west, only one or two isolated showers in the south—east, drifting towards east anglia at the moment. that zone will stay there or thereabouts particularly across the midlands, but scotland and northern ireland, it should be a lovely day to come, one or two isolated showers,

temperatures closer to where we should be for this stage in september. only 15 or 16 under the rain band, but towards the south—east corner, 23 or 24 celsius. still that slightly humid feel which all combines to create the chance of one or two family downpours into the season, but heavy rain further off —— further north should ease off. patchy rain and drizzle across northern and run, the midlands, and northern and run, the midlands, and north wales. tonight the cloud pushes towards the south—east corner, clearskies pushes towards the south—east corner, clear skies elsewhere, a few mist and fog patches in central scotland in particular, but here we will also see some of the coldest conditions tomorrow morning, temperatures down to around 1 degrees in the valleys, wet and windy weather arriving late in the day in parts of scotland and northern ireland. thanks very much, matt. let's return now to an issue we covered on yesterday's breakfast, which prompted a huge amount of correspondence on email

and social media. it's the news that the home secretary is considering adding the american bully xl to the banned breed list. four breeds are already illegal to own under the dangerous dogs act. these are the pit bull terrier, the japanese tosa, the dogo argentino, and the fila brasileiro. owning one of these dogs can lead to an unlimited fine, and up to six months�* imprisonment. however, any dog can be deemed dangerously out of control under the act, if it injures someone or makes someone fearful that they may be injured. dog attacks have risen by more than a third in the last five years, with almost 22,000 reported cases in england and wales last year. ten of those attacks were fatal. over the weekend, three people were savaged by an american bully xl in birmingham — two men, and 11—year—old ana paun. here's how she described what happened.

so the dog grabbed my hand and started moving me around, and then after he bit my hand, someone grabbed him off my hand, and after he let go of my arm, he went on my shoulder, and he bit my shoulder as well. i think someone hit him with a scooter. in 2021, ten—year—old jack lis was killed by an american bully xl in caerphilly. we can speak now to his mum emma whitfield. good morning. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. i know this must be a very distressing time for you with this story in the news yet again. tell us what happened to jack. , ., ., ., yet again. tell us what happened to jack. ,., ., ., ., , ,. jack. good morning. yeah, i picked jack. good morning. yeah, i picked jack u- jack. good morning. yeah, i picked jack up from _ jack. good morning. yeah, i picked jack up from school _ jack. good morning. yeah, i picked jack up from school and _ jack. good morning. yeah, i picked jack up from school and brought. jack. good morning. yeah, i picked. jack up from school and brought him home. he asked to go out to play, so he grabbed his skateboard and left the house. within about ten minutes, i had a knock at the door saying

that he had been attacked by a dog, and i rushed to where he was, which was around the corner, and it was his friends house. and that was it, really. the breeze turned up, emergency services turned out, and we were kept waiting, and then we were told that he was fatally injured, and that was it, it all changed there and then. emma, i'm so sor for changed there and then. emma, i'm so sorry for what — changed there and then. emma, i'm so sorry for what happens _ changed there and then. emma, i'm so sorry for what happens to _ changed there and then. emma, i'm so sorry for what happens to you, - changed there and then. emma, i'm so sorry for what happens to you, it - changed there and then. emma, i'm so sorry for what happens to you, it is - sorry for what happens to you, it is the most awful story. in terms of what you knew about the animal at the time, where you slightly aware that this dog was anywhere near where you lived? what did you know? i didn't have a clue that that dog existed, i did not know about the breed of dog, i did not know anything. there were people that i

of the american bully xl, and then i thought, i was listening to organisations, and they were saying it is not the breed, it is the owners, and i agreed. but over the last year, and how many attacks there have been, and how many the american bully xl has been responsible for, and variants of it, i could not sit there and think, ok, it is not the breed. and to me now, a quick fix right now with the american bully xl, a ban could help right now, it would stop the bleeding, reselling, there would be restrictions the dogs in public —— stop the side, the selling. but that would not be enough, because it

includes the punishments and sentences at the end of it. they cannotjust act and sentences at the end of it. they cannot just act and say they have responded, it needs to go deeper. so in order to go deeper, what needs to happen, what next? i in order to go deeper, what needs to happen, what next?— happen, what next? i think the government — happen, what next? i think the government needs _ happen, what next? i think the government needs to - happen, what next? i think the government needs to look i happen, what next? i think the government needs to look at i happen, what next? i think the | government needs to look at all breeders, especially at the back yard breeders, who are producing these kind of dogs and not caring about temperament as long as they have the right colour and features, massive muscles and things like that. they can get good money for them. they need to put a stop to that. and then with ownership, and is a lot of talk about licensing, some people think it will work, some people think it will not, but a dog has to be micro—chipped by law, so utilise the microchip, so that breeders, sellers, vets, dog behaviourist and trainers can all access that database, and there is a paper trail for that dog.

access that database, and there is a paper trailfor that dog. i paper trail for that dog. i understand paper trailfor that dog. i understand that all dogs can be dangerous, all dogs can attack, but it is these dogs that are giving us the fatalities and these dogs that are really causing damage. and i just think that moving forward, if the government can help, then it should be around those things. for --eole should be around those things. for people watching this morning, listening to what you're saying, can you just explain what the impact of this has been, what happened to jack, how this has impacted you, yourfamily, your community? it jack, how this has impacted you, your family, your community? it has shattered us — your family, your community? it has shattered us as _ your family, your community? it has shattered us as a _ your family, your community? it has shattered us as a family. _ your family, your community? it has shattered us as a family. it - your family, your community? it has shattered us as a family. it has i shattered us as a family. it has shattered us as a family. it has shattered me as his mum. i can't do the things i used to do. it is every part of our lives has been affected, and i am not sure why now over the weekend, a video has given the government some kind of incentive to respond when kids have been dying

about the number of incidents that fear to involve american bully xl types, and we completely understand the calls to ban them, and like everyone else, we do not want to see any more dog bite incidents happening. but we do not believe that adding american bully xls to the band please list is the right approach to protect the public. the dogs trust and the dog control coalition wants to see the existing dog control laws overhauled because they are currently not fit for purpose, that is quite clear, and has been ever since the dangerous dogs act came into force over 30 years ago. however, we do believe that any new approach must be breed neutral, so this would have one consolidated law allowing for early intervention, being able to identify which dogs might be at risk before a

serious incident occurs. with a real focus on prevention of dog bite incidents. but we also want to be included in forcible measures that deter and punish owners if they do allow their dogs to behave dangerously and out of control. there are currently serious punishments attached to the dangerous dogs act, but we are not necessarily seeing that enforcement in those heavy penalties being dealt out. but in those heavy penalties being dealt out. �* ., , in those heavy penalties being dealt out. �* . , ., , out. but emma 'ust told sally was that she out. but emma just told sally was that she agrees _ out. but emma just told sally was that she agrees with _ out. but emma just told sally was that she agrees with you, - out. but emma just told sally was that she agrees with you, that i out. but emma just told sally was i that she agrees with you, that there needs to be an overhaul of the whole system, and that we need to look at laws in great detail and depth, but she is saying, look, just as a first step, she now believes that this american bully xl from a story she has had its so dangerous that it should be banned —— of the stories she has heard. she might be upset and shocked to hear that you don't agree. do you not think they are as dangerous as the headline suggests or what? . ., , ., , .,

or what? there are many reasons for us to not agree _ or what? there are many reasons for us to not agree with _ or what? there are many reasons for us to not agree with going _ or what? there are many reasons for us to not agree with going down i or what? there are many reasons for us to not agree with going down the | us to not agree with going down the banning of the american bully xl approach. forstarters, any banning of the american bully xl approach. for starters, any ban would have to be based on what the dog looks like rather than their behaviour. and we know that all dogs can bite, all dogs can use aggression, fear is a very common underlying factorfor aggression, fear is a very common underlying factor for dogs to show aggression, but that can also be impacted by whether their welfare needs are being met or not, how they were bred, etc. so banning this type of dog is not looking at all of those risk factors, and there is a potential that: these breeds of dog or types of dog dangerous, that

might imply to the public that other breeds of dogs are safe, and there's a chance that they cannot let their guard down around those dogs, that they might not think about the responsible breeding, responsible training, responsible acquisition of dogs, etc. so we are concerned that is giving a false message to the public. and the current list of banned breed types isn't working to protect the public, so why would adding another breed type this time round work? we would be concerned that banning the american bully xl might actually open up a gap for a responsible breeders and sellers to breed another large powerful dog to replace the bully, and i would just continue and in a few years' time we would be back to square one. breeding and selling these dogs is big business, they are a commodity and that drives a responsible breeding and selling of ownership. that is not to say that all owners of this breed type are irresponsible, there are lots of

the injury that these kind of dogs do. then you have the owners to blame, which i agree, and then when she was saying, with the four band bleeds already, if you remove the ban on those breeds, brandon hayden walked into that courtroom with a smile on his face blowing kisses, those of the kind of people opening those of the kind of people opening those breeds up to, which i cannot sit and allow to happen. and if planners are to blame comedy horrible owners that are doing this, a ban is the result of their actions. a ban is the result of their actions-— a ban is the result of their actions. ., ~' , ., ., ., ~' a ban is the result of their actions. ., ~ , ., ., ., ~ ., a ban is the result of their actions. ., ~ ., ., ~ ., , actions. thank you for talking to us this morning. _ actions. thank you for talking to us this morning, emma. _ actions. thank you for talking to us this morning, emma. keep- actions. thank you for talking to us this morning, emma. keep your i this morning, emma. keep your thoughts coming on that, i know it is a subject you feel keenly about on both sides and we will keep returning to that story. the time is 8.29. morning live follows breakfast

the job of commissioner said, "lifting the stone is always painful, because you find things underneath it that you didn't expect." however, sir mark also told the policy exchange think—tank that progress is being made. an advert has been banned on the london underground for being too unhealthy, as it featured cheese. this is what the advert was supposed to look like, showing the offensive cheese in the middle. transport for london said the advert does not comply with its advertising policy, as it had food high in fat, sugar and salt. a start—up company which made the cheese called the decision "incredulous". adverts for alcohol are allowed on the transport network. an amputee has spoken of her pride in taking on the challenge of what's called the redbull 400, where competitors run up a ski jump in one of the world's steepest uphill sprints. milly pickles had her leg amputated six years ago after being electocuted, and spending ten weeks in hospital. she's now become the first amputee

to finish the sprint in slovenia. she spoke to us about taking on the incredible challenge. ijust thought, "what on earth am i about to do?" i think that's when it really hit me, that i'm an amputee. i've got three toes on my human foot. i've got shivers right now even thinking about it. and i was also just thinking about how far i've come, because there's a video of me when i've just come out of hospital, and i literally could not walk up the smallest slope, i was so weak. and i just thought about the contrast and how far i've come, and that was making me emotional. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it was another warm and humid night last night. it is slowly getting a little cooler as we head through today. for today, some bright, some sunny spells, but also the potential for some heavy and thundery showers. now, we have already had one or two showers,

light ones this morning. some bright and sunny spells. those heaviest showers moving through, rumbles of thunder potentially. the temperature still feeling humid, but it is slightly less warm than yesterday, 23 celsius the maximum. overnight tonight, any remnants of that cloud and rain starts to clear away south and eastwards, the cloud breaking up as we head into wednesday morning. it is going to be a cooler night tonight, the minimum down to 13 celsius. so slightly more comfortable for sleeping. for thursday, the front tries to move south, but then it waves back north. as it does so, it drags in some humidity from the continent again. so through thursday and friday, some sunshine. the temperature getting a little warmer again. not quite as warm as last week, but it is going to feel more humid. my colleague harry low recently travelled between the ledenhall building known as the cheesegrater, and the gherkin on a zip—wire. it's all caught on camera and you can see it on the bbc news website, where it's proving very popular. next update just after nine.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. in the last hour or so we have had the latest update on the uk jobs market is showing that average pay was in line with inflation for the first time in nearly two years. the figures may also have an impact on the rate at which pensions increase next year, as ben can explain. yes, and it finally looks as though the gap between wages and rising average prices is now closed. let me explain the details. well, we've seen a lot of industrial action in the last year or so because wages, generally, haven't been keeping up with rising prices. that gap now appears to have closed. the latest official figures, released in the last hour or so, show that average wages went up by 7.8% in may tojuly, compared with

the same period last year. and crucially, that is the same as the average rate of inflation price rises in the past three months. the data could have an important impact on pensions. as things stand, from april next year, the state pension is due to rise by at least 8.5% because of a guarantee known as the triple lock. for the past decade or so it has guaranteed that pensions go so it has guaranteed that pensions 9° up so it has guaranteed that pensions go up each april by either 2.5%, or in line with september's inflation figure, or in line with total average pay rises in the may tojuly period, which was a point 5% when you include both horses. they have been rumblings about whether the triple lock guarantee will remain in the longer term because of how much it costs to fund. we have to wait and see. the wage rise figure is on average. rememberthat. some people will have had higher increases, some will have had higher increases, some will have had higher increases, some will have a lower. it also depends on whether you work in the private or public sector. let me show you

the gap. this line is the rate of inflation, hitting a peak of about 11% last october, before coming back down this year. remember that doesn't mean prices are coming down, they are still rising — just not as quickly. this line shows pay rises in the private sector, shrinking briefly at the start of the pandemic, before climbing back up, yet well below that inflation line until recently. but look at public sector pay, staying well below inflation in the past year or so. that gap is why we've seen all those pay disputes and strikes across public services. just to give you an idea of this difference between the public and private sector, we spoke to one lighting if the bank of england thinks wages are growing too strongly it could raise borrowing costs by putting up

interest rates again. that is another reason why today's figures really matter. we will find out what the bank to site at its next meeting. the interest rate decision affects cost of borrowing, mortgages, credit cards, loans for millions of households throughout the country. female surgeons working in nhs hospitals are subjected to a culture of sexual harrassment and assaults by male colleagues — that's according to a staff survey. the research, described by the royal college of surgeons as "truly shocking", identifies a pattern of female trainees being abused by senior male surgeons. nhs england says it makes for difficult reading and provides clear evidence that action is needed. our health correspondent james gallagher. one example that i've got when i was a junior surgeon — so, the person with the least power in the operating theatre — is, i was assisting a consultant on a case. i guess he'd got a bit sweaty, but turned around and just buried

his head right into my breasts. and i realised he was wiping his brow on me. and you just freeze, right? why is his face in my cleavage, you know? and then, a little while later, he turns around, he does exactly the same thing all over again. so i said, "excuse me, do you want me to get you a towel?" and he said, "no, this is much more fun." and it was the smirk, you know, just everything about it. i felt dirty, i felt humiliated. the operating theatre, home of life—saving surgery performed by our brightest minds, and now revealed to be the scene of sexual assault. it was the fact that there were four consultants in that room, two registrars, a whole surgical scrub nurse team, and not a single person thought that that was wrong. and which was worse — the actual incident itself, or the silence of your colleagues?

oh, absolutely, my colleagues' reaction. this person wasn't even the most senior person in the operating theatre, but he knew that that behaviour was ok, and that's just rotten. judith's experience was over a decade ago, but this report invited surgeons to share what happened in just the past five years. 1400 responded. the experience of women's surgeons is rarely talked about openly. for the first time, this report reveals the problem. more than 60% were sexually harassed, such as receiving suggestive messages. almost 30% were sexually assaulted by a colleague, including instances of groping. nearly 11% experienced forced physical contact linked to the progression of their careers. the report states, "men and women surgeons are living a different reality." female surgeons have had their breasts fondled

underneath their scrubs, and in the most serious cases have even been raped by their colleagues. we never had a conversation about anything that was not to do with work. i didn't know him well, but i trusted him. i looked up to him. and so he walked me back to the place i was staying. i thought he wanted to talk, and yet he just suddenly turned on me. and he had sex with me. rfro — i couldn't stop him. and it's not what i wanted. it had never been what i'd wanted. it was totally unexpected. and you were a trainee? yes. and he was a consultant? yes. the next day when i saw him, i was barely able to hold myself together. i can't quite imagine what it would be like to go through that, and then to have to turn up to work with that person. i didn't feel i could make a fuss. i felt like there was a very strong culture ofjust putting up with whatever was done to you. afterwards, i would be focusing on something at work, getting ready

for an operation, for example, and the memory would come flooding into my mind like a horror, like a nightmare. more women choosing surgery as a career and getting into senior positions is helping to drive culture change. but these figures show that sexual assault and harassment are not yesterday's problem. so what needs to change? one of the report's authors tells me there's little faith that incidents will be properly investigated. the commonest scenario is that a junior female trainee is abused by a senior male perpetrator, who is often their supervisor. and that results in a culture of silence, where people are in real fear of their future, in their careers, if they do speak up. we need there to be major change in investigation processes so that they become external and independent and are trusted, in order for healthcare to become a safe place to work. the royal college of surgeons of england said the findings

were "truly shocking, incredibly upsetting", and that such "abhorrent behaviour" will not be tolerated. unless people talk about what the truth is, change will be much more difficult. so i wanted to talk because what actually happened to me should not happen to anyone. is surgery a safe place for women? not always. and that's a dreadful thing to have to admit. james gallagher, bbc news. it is 8:42am. it is time to talk to john with the sport. he is out and about this morning. he isjust down the road in manchesterfor a about this morning. he isjust down the road in manchester for a very special tennis event. good morning. we are indeed. morning. hello, everybody. we have moved off court. you might be able to see that australia are out there practising ahead of their big match, the

our uncles gerard and rory cairns, aged 18 and 22, was murdered here in this house. two gunmen, two loyalists. it was my auntie roisin�*s 11th birthday. and they came in through the front door and told roisin to be quiet inside the kitchen here. and then just in the living room, gerard and rory were just watching tv and they went in and shot both of them dead. so for you, your young people, this isn't history. this is something that is affecting you and your generation. no, i'm the youngest of the family, and i've watched my family campaign tirelessly their entire lives forjustice over the murders of gerard and rory. and i believe this legislation is completely cruel and unjust. what's your family's goal, as it were? definitely truth. truth would be the main thing. and civil cases and inquests, for notjust ourfamily, but all families.

almost all victims groups are against a plan to give a conditional amnesty to suspects who provide information to a new commission. what we are seeing in terms of the justice system is an amnesty for murder. i looked up to all of my brothers as semi—heroes, so i put them on a pedestal. he was a good brother. the government says this legislation will help reconciliation. do you think it will? there is huge ramifications for society ifjustice is not seen to prevail. i do not think it would be accepted in england, wales, scotland, and yet in northern ireland it is one of those things that has been foisted upon us.

the plans are also opposed by international human rights organisations. the uk is isolated on the international stage. we have seen significant and repeated interventions from the united nations, the council of europe. this bill prioritises perpetrators at the expense of victims. but the government says the passage of time means a change is needed. i think it is realistic to assume| that the prospect of traditional criminaljustice outcomesj in respect of the troubles criminaljustice outcomes— in respect of the troubles in respect of the troubles related cases, such as prosecutions and convictions, is unfortunately for many - going to be vanishingly rare, - so the best we can offer in those circumstances is to get more information to people. - the trail of trauma from unsolved killings is into the future. -- is —— is stretching into the future. victims are now set to bring legal challenges against the legislation, and the irish government is considering whether to take the uk to the international courts. chris page, bbc news, belfast.

our next story sounds like a little bit like a plodder to a liam neeson film. —— plot. a mild—mannered man has something precious taken from him, the police won't help, so he takes matters into his own hands. we should have had one of those hollywood voice—overs. that's what damian groves did when he had yet four bicycles stolen, sparking a major quest which involved a drone, a private detective and a road trip to poland. damian joins us now. good morning. these were very secial good morning. these were very special bikes? _ good morning. these were very special bikes? yeah, _ good morning. these were very special bikes? yeah, very- good morning. these were very i special bikes? yeah, very special, good morning. these were very - special bikes? yeah, very special, a couple of them were very special to me, part of my career. but generally, they are expensive mountain bikes. and very unique. which was part of the look for me. they were so unique that when they

their names to the police. the police admitted those names were known to them, but could not say what for. obviously. that was kind of it. they said it was circumstantial. they can't do anything with that. which i understand, but was frustrating. so we then went away from that. let the system be what it will be. the following day me and my partner, emily, decided to do what most people do and utilise our instagram following, make the bikes famous, like, too hot to handle, which was really good. that single act on its own, really, without that, we wouldn't have ever succeeded. so the ball starts rolling. _ wouldn't have ever succeeded. so the ball starts rolling. your _ wouldn't have ever succeeded. so the ball starts rolling. your thumbs - ball starts rolling. your thumbs and start pressing. ball starts rolling. your thumbs and start pressing-— ball starts rolling. your thumbs and start pressing. what happens? that was around the _ start pressing. what happens? that was around the 30th, _ start pressing. what happens? that was around the 30th, 31st _ start pressing. what happens? that was around the 30th, 31st of- start pressing. what happens? that was around the 30th, 31st ofjune. i was around the 30th, 31st ofjune. we were extorting the following
