while, because the spacecraft that will come and bring them home, well, it will not do it until february next year, that will be the rival company, will bring them back home. so that is turning an eight day mission into an eight month mission. the question everyone is asking is that they have enough stuff with them? they were only supposed to be there for eight days. we have heard nasa has sent them up some more specific crew preference items which, basically, ithink specific crew preference items which, basically, i think means more underwear, so they have more stuff with them, so they seem to be settling and in good spirits, so i hear. , ..., settling and in good spirits, so i hear. , ., ~ settling and in good spirits, so i hear. , . . ~ i., , settling and in good spirits, so i hear. , ., , . hear. rebecca, thank you very much. fresh underwear, _ hear. rebecca, thank you very much. fresh underwear, what _ hear. rebecca, thank you very much. fresh underwear, what a _ hear. rebecca, thank you very much. fresh underwear, what a relief. - hear. rebecca, thank you very much. fresh underwear, what a relief. it's l fresh underwear, what a relief. it's terrible when you miss your lift, but you don't expect the follow—up to be eight months later. lilo. but you don't expect the follow-up to be eight months later.— but you don't expect the follow-up to be eight months later. no, not at all. sarah, — to be eight months later. no, not at all. sarah, how— to be eight months later. no, not at all. sarah, how is— to be eight months later. no, not at all. sarah, how is the _ to be eight months later. no, not at all. sarah, how is the weather - all. sarah, how is the weather looking at the weekend? good morning. the weather is looking pretty decent for many of us out there, but it will be another day of contrast, like it was yesterday,
6:09 am
this is yesterday, belfast, the warmest day of is over in northern ireland, temperatures reached 27 celsius. all the more of this, more warm sunshine across parts of northern ireland, was a scholar, because of northern england as well. but also a few showers around further south. but also a few showers around furthersouth. but but also a few showers around further south. but it certainly won't be as wet as the past couple of days in southern england and south wales were we have seen some flash flooding with the really persistent rain. this morning what we have got to many areas is submitted, some fog, some low cloud, that was so lift and clear for many of us. still showers across south west england, south wales, one or two through the midlands and east anglia as well as into lincolnshire. further north across northern england, scotland, wales uses see some warm sunshine, likeness, a pleasant 23 or 2a, the wants but stores the north—west, i think most of us, particular if you keep the cloud, are going to be a few degrees cool cloud, are going to be a few degrees cool, a little misty and murky for a good part of the day for some central london areas. we will also see some lingering low cloud close
6:10 am
to the east coast. enter this evening we'll see low pressure moving its way in from the south. that will throw away some pretty heavy showers, perhaps thunderstorms that will push in from across parts of southern england and wales into the evening and stays dry further north. 0vernight the showers become a little more extensive across parts of england and wales so you might hear the odd rumble of thunder waking you up overnight. further north, though, will stay dry once again, but, like the last few nights, some mist and some fog, we have kuyt humid air with us, damages no lower than 16 or 17 in the south, a few degrees cool anymore. tomorrow's weather, mostly dry day for scotland and northern ireland, some showers in the southeast much later on, for england and wales we'll see scattered heavy showers, perhaps understood. we have a line of thunderstorms between northern england and wales. elsewhere they will be more scattered in nature. doctor temperatures tomorrow, cooler than over recent days. 16—23 for most of us on sunday. there will be some sunshine in between those
6:11 am
downpours we are likely to see, especially across england and wales. all courtesy of this area of low pressure to ease away towards the east as we head on into monday, so the weather gradually improving if you have had a lot of showers of recent days. some sunshine, showers lingering for eastern areas for a time on monday. more sunshine moves on from the west, but also clear skies and a different air mass, so it will turn a little cooler, typically looking at the mid to high teens during the day on monday, but that's a much cooler air starts to move in through the course of next week, you can see the blue colours pushing in from the north—west, with a north—westerly wind sunny spells and scattered showers really in the week ahead. another warm day or two ahead and then look at those temperatures for all of us, they are going to push back down into the low or mid teens into next week. back to you both. or mid teens into next week. back to ou both. ., ., ~ i. , you both. sarah, thank you very much, you both. sarah, thank you very much. see _ you both. sarah, thank you very much. see you _ you both. sarah, thank you very much, see you later. _ it is 6:11am. let's take a look at some of today's papers.

but first, he's arguably the most famous british artist of this century — and yet most of us don't know his real name or what he looks like. time for a deep dive into the work and career of banksy. graffiti artist, stencil guru extraordinaire — banksy, to you and me. he's just an unknown talent. his identity, the subject of lengthy speculation. i could be banksy. breaking news! with banksy, it's about the surprise, the shock factor, the reveal. we've had banksy“s people on the phone and they want to bring a project to bristol museums. well, i couldn't believe it. fans flock to his work, but with public art comes risks. crowd gasp, shout four very large gentleman turned up with sledgehammers to destroy it. i thought, "this guy understands messaging." it's become one of the most
6:35 am
famous and notorious incidents in the history of modern art. from animals popping up across london, to dismaland, we explore the art, the man and the tactics. he is the picasso of the 21st century. he's prolific, he's profound. this is banksy: the mystery. a quiet monday morning in london in the summer of 2024, and there it appeared — a stencilled mountain goat precariously perched on a ledge in richmond, west london. in quick succession, more artworks appeared. monkeys hanging from a railway bridge. two elephants lovingly reaching for each other“s long trunks from opposite windows. again, banksy had managed to get all of us talking and wondering what this new animal trail across london was all about. what's the message
6:36 am
behind these new pieces? i own the canvas of this. this isjust a posterfrom when it was in the museum, in moco in amsterdam. well, john brandler knows a thing or two about banksy. oh, i think the animal trail is very clever. the police booth in london looking like a fish tank — phenomenal, brilliant. what's scary about that is this is part of what is supposed to be the ring of steel protecting the city of london, and somebody can go into it and paint in it? brandler“s collection of banksy artworks varies from world—famous motifs to lesser known, more provocative works. the one i really love is the gorilla lifting the shutter and letting the animals out, but they are all about what humans have done to the planet. we“re killing everything off. we“ve overfished the seas, we“ve polluted the air. we“re... the whole of the human race is like the goats on a tiny pinnacle.
6:37 am
i thought the rhinoceros that was caught in flagrante in charlton, trying to sort of mount a nissan micra, i thought that was an absolutely beautiful piece because the message was this rhino, he's near extinction and he hasn't got a mate, and this is the closest thing that we've left him with. after nine days of animal artworks popping up across london, the series ended with a gorilla on the shutters of london zoo. free the birds...and seals. but, as with all banksys, they might not stay untouched or where he intended. the rhino was quickly vandalised and london zoo have moved theirs for safekeeping. i think those london pieces, in some ways, are old—school banksy in that he has... ..found very quirky, humorous, but also, you know,
6:38 am
there's a message behind them. from his most recent series in london, to bristol, where it all began for banksy. my name is marc leverton. i am the author of a book called banksy myths and legends, which is a collection of kind of stories from around bristol, initially, relating to banksy. i found everybody had a story about banksy, initially, which i found amazing, that one person can be kind of, touch so many people's lives. the first banksy wall mural appeared in bristol in 1999, called mild, mild west. he'd been active in the city's graffiti scene, but not everyone was a fan. the initial perception of banksy was that he was a vandal, spray painting kind of willy nilly all over the city. he was very, very prolific.
6:39 am
this was one of the things that really stood him out and made him kind of noticed by the local council. and he built a strong fan base in bristol. yeah, i mean, i think it adds to, like, the art culture. and obviously he's from bristol, he's, like, part of the culture here. who do you think banksy is? i have no idea but his artwork is amazing so... _ there are a couple of key moments in the banksy story that kind of show that transition from being a vandal who does graffiti to something that you'd now call street art. one was the well hung lover piece. he found the wall opposite the council, who were on his trail, trying to kind of scrub out all the work he was doing all over the city. he got some scaffolding put up and, at his leisure, under cover, he drew this wonderful picture of a naked man dangling outside a bedroom. inside the bedroom you can see a lady, not very many clothes, and her very angry husband,
6:40 am
looking for the well hung lover. that was a moment when the council were under real pressure to remove the work, but then did an online campaign to see what bristolians thought, whether the work should stay or go, and 96% voted in favour of keeping that piece. it“s thought banksy then moved to east london in the early noughties, and artwork started appearing there too. i used to walk around and see little rats and little stencils that were everywhere, in east london, particularly, west end, down on the south bank, all over the place, really, and i began to think, "is this just one person doing this? "because he's the hardest working man "in street art, if so." thought, — "this guy understands messaging "and understands marketing, and he's doing something "that's really fun and subversive "and countercultural, "
6:41 am
because he's drawing on walls he shouldn't be drawing on. in 2002, banksy created one of his most famous pieces, the girl with the balloon. originally stencilled on to a bridge in london, he later painted it on canvas and released it. the one that i see the most is the one with the little girl with the balloon that she loses. i like that one. the youth throwing a bunch of flowers. it's quite an old one, yeah. looks like a rioter, but he's got a posy of flowers in his hand and he's just about to throw them. they try to provoke - discussion and debate. they try to provoke - discussion and debate. i was aware of the one - i was aware of the one - in glastonbury with the boat. in glastonbury with the boat. that was very interesting. that was very interesting. but also i think the onesi but also i think the onesi in london at the moment in london at the moment are trying to lightenj are trying to lightenj the mood a little bit the mood a little bit so i think, yeah, he's trying so i think, yeah, he's trying to give back a bit to the... i to give back a bit to the... i ..to the people. ..to the people. i could be banksy. breaking news! i could be banksy. breaking news! oh, god, don't claim it! oh, god, don't claim it! i think everybody enjoys i think everybody enjoys being part of the banksy being part of the banksy kind of game, if you like. kind of game, if you like.
6:42 am
i think this is i think this is one of the interesting things one of the interesting things about the sort of banksy phenomenon is the fact that everybody feels like they're part of the kind of like experience. it“s notjust a kind of a passive consumer—artist kind of relationship, you know, you're actually involved. people rush out to see the work before it gets graffitied, before it gets taken down, before it gets cut out and sold. banksy is where he is in the world today
6:43 am
you can understand his picture, you can understand his message instantly. the imagery becomes so powerful and popular that banksy starts producing limited prints of his works as early as 2002 — the birth of banksy as a global mass market phenomenon. everyone was now able to own a piece. and then he does this amazing exhibition in la. this exhibition was absolutely besieged. it was only on for a few days. it was besieged by loads of hollywood stars. suddenly, brad pitt and others want to hang banksy artworks in their hollywood mansions. all of this only fuelled the fire that was the speculation around who banksy actually is. i think before my contact with him, i always found him very intriguing... ..and quite difficult to work out. many names have been thrown around during the years. i don't think banksy will be
6:44 am
unmasked because i think there have been so many attempts to try that already and every time somebody points at a photo and says, “'this is banksy," there's another story that pops up saying, “'this is also banksy." there's lots of people who, you know, either want to be banksy or have had a kind of finger pointed at them. neil buchanan from art attack. then it was robert del naja from massive attack. jamie hewlett from gorillaz — he was potentially banksy. neil buchanan from art attack. there's a guy called robin gunningham who did some work in bristol once upon a time. it is that spartacus thing. every time somebody sort of says, “'this is banksy," somebody else is also sort of thrown into the mix, and that will probably forever happen.
6:45 am
there's any number of people who, you know, may or may not be banksy. there's also the idea that banksy is not a person, it's an idea or a team. banksy and his team never denied or confirmed any of these names. any of these names. in fact, the only official mouthpiece in fact, the only official mouthpiece is his instagram account. is his instagram account. if a picture of an artwork if a picture of an artwork is uploaded here, is uploaded here, it pretty much means it has the it pretty much means it has the official stamp of authenticity official stamp of authenticity and part of the banksy and part of the banksy universe. universe. he likes to control his market. he likes to control his market. he likes to control he likes to control who has his art. a year. who has his art. guess what? i'm not guess what? i'm not on his christmas card list. on his christmas card list. he likes to be he likes to be a control freak, if you like. a control freak, if you like. now, i don't know whether now, i don't know whether that influences that influences who he sells his art to who he sells his art to and how much he sells his art for. and how much he sells his art for. i don't know how much money i don't know how much money he is on today he is on today but in the past he was on some but in the past he was on some very, very serious numbers. very, very serious numbers. i worked out, i guesstimated i worked out, i guesstimated at one point he was on at one point he was on
6:46 am
between 40 and 45 million between 40 and 45 million a year. and team banksy actually go by a different, more incognito name. pest control was an agency designed to keep the pests away — the people that were pestering banksy about his identity, the people who were trying to buy his work when there isn't very much of his work for sale. and so he surrounded himself, with very, very expensive and brilliant lawyers, very, very brilliant and presumably expensive hollywood agent types who were really used to managing and organising logistics and keeping people at bay. pest control are crucial to banksy“s business strategy — but more on that later — and some think they have the mystery about his identity all figured out. he's not a doctor on the side,
6:47 am
he's a street artist. he got the inspiration for what he's doing or how he is doing it, i should say, from a man called blek le rat in paris. blek got arrested, and numerous times, because if you think of the streets in paris, they“re wide, they“re straight, there are no trees, so blek came up with the idea of instead of spending every other week in prison, spending every other week cutting stencils in his studio, and then he could go onto any street in paris, have a look, see that there“re no police around, four bits of blu—tack, put the stencil up, spray it and be gone in two minutes. he“d heard about blek in the past, but he was doing something in particular and he thought, “'this is a much better idea." people will want to know everything about everybody these days, which i think is part of the frustration for some people, but i think it would also ruin
6:48 am
the mystique and ruin the... ..the surprise and the kind ofm — that myth that we have, and actually, i think it's more funjust to not know. with increasing fame and notoriety, exhibitions started popping up around the world showing banksy“s work. the most comprehensive was in his home town, called banksy versus bristol museum, in 2009. like everything, it was kept secret. we had to sign agreements
6:49 am
it was just a usual day in the office, when one of my colleagues came in to see me and said, "we've had banksy“s people on the phone "and they want to bring a project to bristol museums," and i was... well, i couldn't believe it, and so i questioned my colleague and i was like, “'surely somebody is having us on." it transpired it was true, and it grew and grew to what became banksy versus bristol museum. it was a bit of a love letter to his home city. normally, when you work with normally, when you work with an artist or...or a partner an artist or...or a partner to make an exhibition, to make an exhibition, of course it's all about of course it's all about advance publicity advance publicity and getting interest. and getting interest. but with him, of course, but with him, of course, it was all about it was all about have queued patiently - it had to be kept quiet, it had to be kept quiet, because it had to be something because it had to be something that was launched on the public that was launched on the public at the very last minute, at the very last minute, which is the way they work which is the way they work to build excitement and for it to build excitement and for it to be a surprise. to be a surprise.
6:50 am
archive: all day, thousands archive: all day, thousands have queued patiently - to get the first glimpse of. the new banksy exhibition. and it was so popular, people came from all over and queued for hours. we had over 300,000 people and that was over a three—month period. now, we might normally welcome 50,000 people, maybe a few more if it was a really popular exhibition, maybe 80,000.
6:51 am
banksy described it as unsuitable for children. it was a temporary art project where he collaborated with other artists to create the dystopian theme park... ..including a game where you could drive your own boat filled with migrants, and a photo opportunity where a killer whale leapt out of a toilet. other artists who visited reckon the park reflected some of the pressing political problems of the time. he continues to surprise, he continues to do amazing events and opportunities, and, whether that's the weston—super—mare dismaland through to, you know, the recent interventions in london, i think he continues to grab the attention of the art world, and the public.
6:52 am
though, as banksy“s career, wealth and status have grown, some have questioned the very issues he rooted himself in. a friend of mine described him as a champagne socialist. his views are very much socialist, but he is earning tens of million pounds a year, which gives him the financial freedom to indulge his social ideals. banksy“s political artworks go beyond the uk. this is the walled off hotel in bethlehem, which he designed with other creatives. opposite the israeli west bank barrier, it“s billed as having the worst view of any hotel in the world. due to the israel—gaza conflict, it“s currently not taking any reservations. he definitely has a conscience in his work in that he's drawing attention to social issues and situations both home and abroad that he, you know, wants
6:53 am
to bring to our attention. archive: it's become one of the most famous _ and notorious incidents. and banksy“s stunts have only got bigger and better, like in 2018, when famous auctioneers sotheby“s came to sell a rather expensive painting of his. and it shredded. oh, what a surprise. well, it was at the end of the sale, it should have been in the middle, normally. in my opinion, sotheby“s must have known what was going on, because you don't allow a box with mechanics in it to be plugged into your wall... and it was worth £1 million each, then one went to auction and it fetched £18 million. so then, his collection of them has gone from being worth £5 million to £100 million. that's very clever marketing. by doing the street work where he, you know, makes a big statement and gets everybody talking, gets the press coverage, that kind of enhances

the brand, which means that the work will then sell for more money. whether banksy always is the beneficiary of that is not something that i think is widely known. i think people buy work from banksy, maybe secretly, but a lot of the work that we see that gets the big pound signs, big dollar signs on the auction market is in the secondary market, so that's somebody who's already bought the piece and is reselling it again for a greater value. so does banksy profit from that? banksy's... he profits from the story, but maybe not from the money. him and his team were very, very clear about their commercial aspiration and what they controlled, and that, i assume, is how
6:55 am
they were also very generous with us in terms of they financed much of the work, and they gifted us an artwork, did a lot of support with the pr and other facilitation of the exhibition, so it was a very clear business deal and transaction, but it was also an understanding of the context that they were operating in. just because banksy has become a household name, it doesn't mean the writing isn't on the walls when it comes to vandalism or authorities wanting to wade in. i've bought a number of pieces of street art, of walls, five of them, in fact, right? the most famous one, obviously, is seasons greetings in wales, where, within a couple of hours of it being recognised as a banksy, four very large gentleman turned up with sledgehammers to destroy it, and, within half an hour of them being turned away, somebody else turned up
6:56 am
with a large, you know, huge pot of black paint they were trying to pour over it, but the locals stopped that happening. but others are happy to welcome him to their neighbourhood with open arms. in kew! can you believe it? no. thank you, banksy. we appreciate it. he“s rewritten the rule book for contemporary artists by saying to the artists, "you've got to become famous "and then people will buy your work." he has made a criminal act, which is vandalism, into something socially acceptable. he continues to endure because he reinvents himself, and in a way which does grasp the public interest, and his anonymity has to be part of that. but can banksy“s legend and legacy continue to endure? it's the mysticism. i mean, everybody knows magicians aren't actually doing magic — they“re tricking you.
6:57 am
it“s sleight of hand, they're using a mirror, they're using distraction techniques — it's not magic, it“s trickery. that's what banksy does with art. everyone loves a mystery, right? it's super exciting to think that there's this guy wandering around, he could pass you in the street, wearing a high—visjacket, you wouldn't look at him twice, and he's this mystery guy. that's cool. that's always going to be cool. so let's leave him alone. let's leave him alone to do his thing anonymously because whenever he does something, it's usually pretty brilliant. it's very difficult to think about an artist who has quite the wide appeal and global coverage of an artist like banksy. he continues to gain that sort of public interest and imagination in a way that it's actually quite difficult to think of anyone else who does that.
6:58 am
some people say, "oh, banksy's past his prime. "he's been doing it too long. "it's no longer fresh and interesting." well, that'sjust not right. i mean, the guy is producing more good work in the average year than most artists do in, you know, a decade. he's prolific, he's profound — the london stuff that we've just seen tells us that. i think he'll be around for a long time yet. i really hope so, anyway.
6:59 am

"’ friday agreement to the good friday agreement to the good friday agreement and maintain its stability at the northern ireland assembly after a period of instability there. it is clear that labour see the significance of being seen to try to turn the page after a pretty tense period in some areas these past two years in terms of relations with some of its nearest neighbours. interesting to be a fly on the wall. georgia, thank you. it is 7:04am. charlie has a round with some of the day's other news. more than 60,000 people have signed a petition calling for the extradition of a driver suspected of killing a 12—year—old boy in a hit—and—run. dolars aleksanders is thought to have fled to latvia after the death of keaton slater injune. our reporterjoan cummins has the story. it's 12 weeks since 12—year—old keaton slater died after being hit by a car in coventry. itjust broke my heart. because you can still hear his voice, like he's still running in the house with his mates, and “'can i do this, can i do that?" so at the minute
7:05 am
it's just still raw. there was an outpouring of collective grief in the city at the time. fundraising, balloon releases, and a minute's applause at the school boy's beloved coventry city have offered comfort to the family, but their grief is swamped by unanswered questions. there's only one monster, but there are thousands of people out there giving us support, they don't know is but they are reaching out to us. it's like i've got someone else on my shoulders helping me through it. police appealed to the public for information about dolars aleksanders, wanted on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. but three months later, and with no arrest, the family have launched a petition calling for the government to intervene and extradite him from latvia, where he's suspected of absconding to. it“s three months and is nothing for him. running away, hiding as long as he hasjust doesn't seem right.
7:06 am
itjust proves there is no justice but we need to getjustice. the family home has been filled with poignant reminders of life before loss. but both parents are simply struggling to understand why. to me, that's another thing keeps going through my head, if he had just got out of the car and try to help our son... he didn't stop and, like, he was going excessively over the speed limit. he's got no care in the world. west midlands police refused to answer specific questions about their investigation, but they did issue a statement where they said that they were actively pursuing strong lines of enquiry. and they added that their focus remains on getting justice for keaton and his family. joan cummins, bbc news. the united states and the united nations have called for a full investigation into the death of an american—turkish woman in the occupied west bank. eyewitnesses and palestinian officials say israeli soldiers shot aysenur ezgi eygi as she took part in a protest. the israeli military has admitted firing at a demonstrator and said it was looking into the incident.
7:07 am
a vigil has been held in memory of an 80—year—old man who died after an alleged attack by a teenager. bhim kohli was walking his dog in leicester when he was assaulted. a 14—year—old boy has been charged with his murder. the vigil saw dozens of local residents attend, along with members of mr kohli“s family. motorists have been warned to expect delays on the m62 motorway this weekend as a section between manchester and leeds has been closed. it will remain shut until 6am on monday to allow the installation of a new railway bridge near rochdale. the prime minister has confirmed that a memorial to queen elizabeth ii will be built in st james“s park in london. architects and artists will be invited to submit proposals later this year, with the chosen design confirmed by 2026. boeing's starliner spacecraft has returned to earth from the international space
7:08 am
station this morning, but without the astronauts it should have been carrying. a technical fault means the pair must remain on the space station until february. our science editor rebecca morelle was watching the landing. rebecca, i know you are watching the aircraft this morning. talk us through that sequence, did everything go according to plan? yeah, looks pretty good, actually, there was the unlocking from the international space station we saw the spacecraft slowly drift away and then as it hurtled through the earth's atmosphere, after that it released three huge parishes to slow its descent down before touching down gently in the desert of new mexico. now, nasa has said everything has gone to plan but there is one glaring sort of thing missing and that is its astronauts, the astronauts it was supposed to be carrying, butch wilmore and suni williams were not inside the spacecraft, instead, they stayed
7:09 am
behind on the international space station, they actually closed the hatch to the starliner spacecraft and they are going to be there for some time because there were technical problems with the spacecraft as it was taking astronauts up to space back injune and nasa decided that these technical problems meant it wasn't safe enough to bring them home so why do so, rebecca, they are therefore a lot longer than they thought. what will they do? they are therefore really a loss longer. they have watched their lift home depart and they have to wait until next february for the ride home and said they are waiting for a spacex spacecraft to bring them home, an eight day mission is what it was originally supposed to be, it will now be eight months long. they are in good spirits, nasa says they are settling into life on the international space station taking part in experiments and doing exercises you need for a long duration stay in space and they now have all the items they need with them, because, of course, when you pakse today is you don't bring very much stuff, we have been told they
7:10 am
have been given their specific crew preference items up there, which i'm guessing means things like underwear and socks so they can stay fresh on the space station. mit? and socks so they can stay fresh on the space station.— the space station. why did you say underwear so _ the space station. why did you say underwear so quietly _ the space station. why did you say underwear so quietly there, - the space station. why did you say - underwear so quietly there, rebecca? i don't know. their pants. they have gotten enough pants now, everything is fine. laughter. it's good to know. very important information. it's good to know. very important information-— it's good to know. very important information. ., , ., information. enough pants for eight months, information. enough pants for eight months. that's _ information. enough pants for eight months, that's a _ information. enough pants for eight months, that's a lot _ information. enough pants for eight months, that's a lot of _ information. enough pants for eight months, that's a lot of pants! - information. enough pants for eight months, that's a lot of pants! it - information. enough pants for eight months, that's a lot of pants! it is l months, that's a lot of pants! it is 7:10am. sarah, _ months, that's a lot of pants! it is 7:10am. sarah, how— months, that's a lot of pants! it is 7:10am. sarah, how is— months, that's a lot of pants! it is 7:10am. sarah, how is the weather a little closer to earth? that skye looks beautiful. good mornin: that skye looks beautiful. good morning to _ that skye looks beautiful. good morning to you. _ that skye looks beautiful. good morning to you, charlie, - that skye looks beautiful. good morning to you, charlie, and i that skye looks beautiful.

7:11 am
sunshine, a few showers to be found further south, sunshine, a few showers to be found furthersouth, but sunshine, a few showers to be found further south, but not as wet, thankfully, as it has been. this morning we have a lot of low cloud, mist, and fog around, a murky start for many areas. if bill back towards the coast across eastern scotland and north east england as well, but further south low cloud through the day and there will be a few showers in the midlands, perhaps south wales the southwest of england as well. so not completely dry but not the heavy rain we have seen of late. temperature wise looking at highs between 19 and 24 for most of us, the warmest weather we have the sunshine coming through across parts of scotland, northern ireland, perhaps east anglia is welcome a bit of brightness and highs in the mid 20s. then as we head through into the evening hours this area of low pressure that is sitting to the south of the uk will start to nudge its way a little bit further north, so that“ll turn things pretty unsettled again. there will be heavy showers and some thunderstorms developing across parts of southern england and wales into the evening hours. overnight in idoes heavy showers was a little bit further north across england and wales. will
7:12 am
stay dry for much of northern england, scotland, northern ireland through the course of the night. like recent notes we have a humid air mass with us, the mist and fog with temperatures certainly sang well up in the mid—teens for many of us. through the day on sunday we have got this rash of showers pushing nor stop there will be medically persisted across parts of northern england of the great north run tomorrow could catch some showers. also through wales into the southwest as well. the central and south east england sunny spells and scattered showers, papps thunderstorms developing later in the day. it won't be quite as warm as recent days but still some sunshine and temperatures up to about 23 across parts of scotland. cloudier and coolerfor about 23 across parts of scotland. cloudier and cooler for northern ireland. furthersouth, cloudier and cooler for northern ireland. further south, temperatures around high teens, possibly low 20s, but you have that threat of catching those scattered showers. we won't see them all. low pressure will is its way gradually to the east as we had was monday, and improving picture, high pressure building in from the west stop still the chance of catching jobs for eastern areas during the day on monday. then as the clear skies movement from the

in a house fire caused by a faulty e—bike battery. first, our reporter tim muffett explains what happened. lastjune last june scott lost everything. lastjune scott lost everything. he had bought a replacement battery online to his e—bike. the following week a devastating blaze ripped through his home. cambridgeshire fire and rescue service believes it was caused by the battery. scott was badly burned and placed in an induced coma forfour badly burned and placed in an induced coma for four weeks. badly burned and placed in an induced coma forfour weeks. mr; badly burned and placed in an induced coma for four weeks. my mum and m dad induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke _ induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke the _ induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke the news _ induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke the news to - induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke the news to me, - induced coma for four weeks. my mum | and my dad broke the news to me, and yeah, i lost my girlfriend, my son, my daughter and my two dogs. scott's artnered my daughter and my two dogs. scott's partnered jenna _ my daughter and my two dogs. scott's partnered jenna was _ my daughter and my two dogs. scott's partnered jenna was 31. _ my daughter and my two dogs. scott's partnered jenna was 31. their - partnered jenna was 31. their daughter lily was eight, their son oliver was four. lithium ion batteries contain a large amount of energy and in a small space. this is
7:15 am
thermal runaway, demonstrated in a lab. if the cell in a faulty battery heats up uncontrollably, a devastating chain reaction can follow. as the number of fires caused by faulty lithium ion batteries has risen, calls for cover safety regulations have grown louder. manufacturers of batteries and e—bikes can currently self—declared at our products are safe. campaigners want independent third—party safety certification to become mandatory. that was tim muffett reporting. scott peden joins us now from edinburgh and we can also say hello to the consumer affairs journalist harry kind, from which. we will start with you, scott, good morning to you. hope you are doing well and i am sure watching the rings back a lot of unhappy memories. not least one will be

7:28 am
and gruelling encounter. just to warn you, this report from our sports correspondent laura scott, in new york, does contain images ofjack draper being sick. the occasionjack draper had long dreamt of, but not the ending. before the match the british number one did not lack motivation or inspiration. his idol, andy murray, had been the last british man to reach the final four of the us open. awaiting him was his good friend and world number one, jannik sinner. the biggest match of his life, the biggest stage of his life. early nerves no surprise. but willed on by family who had flown in last—minute, draper went toe to toe with the italian. but sweat dripping off the brit, he struggled to keep a grip on his racket and the set. time for some direction from his team. relax! it was never going to be easy, this was anything but. draper left everything on the court, vomit included. and soon there was more drama, sinnerfalling heavily on his wrist.
7:29 am
it didn't stop him dominating the tie—break to lead 2—0. draper tried to cling on, struggling, suffering but soon succumbing. sinner through to the final and draper heading for the door. i am definitely someone who is quite an anxious human being, so i think when you had add all that together sometimes, i do feel a bit of nausea on court and i do feel a little bit sick when it gets tough. so yeah, i didn't have any problems before the match but it obviously just built up. it was a gruelling and at times it was a gruelling and at times gruesome maiden grand slam gruesome maiden grand slam semi—final semi—final but all the signs here in new york but all the signs here in new york are that there is so much more are that there is so much more to come from jack draper. to come from jack draper. laura scott, bbc news, laura scott, bbc news, flushing meadows. flushing meadows. we“re joined now by jack draper's far. we“re joined now by jack draper's former coach, justin sherring. former coach, justin sherring. mike is with us on the circ as well mike is with us on the circ as well this morning. this morning. mike is with us on the circ as well this morning-— mike is with us on the circ as well this morning-—

7:45 am
tomorrow we can kick on and get really good score. i think hopefully less bad light and rain interrupting today. let“s let's find out about the weekend weather, sarah has all the details right now, good morning. good morning charlie and nina. you might be waking up something a little like this with some mist and low cloud and fog around this morning, this is the picture in topsham in devon. most of us the cloud wealth in and breakup, and improving picture today. lots of wet weather over the recent days in the south, that is not eating away completely, there will be some rain in the south of england but some brighter spells for east anglia and the southeast, again, the lion share of the sunshine is in the northwest of the uk. western scotland, northern ireland seeing temperatures get up to the mid 205 and place. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far in northern ireland, 27 degrees,
7:46 am
so a touch cooler than that, very dry and pleasant weather in the north and northwest. eastern coast hold on to that mist and fog during the day. we have low pressure towards the south of us at the moment which will shift further north as we had three tonight and into tomorrow as well, that could throw some heavy thundery showers across southern counties of england and perhaps into wales through the evening hours, then overnight the showers become more extensive through england and wales. scotland and northern ireland state dry through the evening and overnight with some mist and fog towards the east with the onshore breeze. it will be another mild, quite humid feeling night especially in the south, temperatures falling below 16 or 17. through the day tomorrow we have the line of heavy showers across northern england, wales, the southwest as well, then scattered heavy showers and thunderstorms developing elsewhere across central england. this scotland and northern ireland a very dry day, —— mostly dry day, some rain perhaps pushing towards the east. temperatures not as warm as recent days but still
7:47 am
around 17—23, there could be some heavy showers for the great north run tomorrow. next week the change in weather type after the heat and humidity, things turn more fresh with a mix of sunshine and showers as the wednesday start coming from the northwest into next week. a mixed bag ahead, thank you sarah. we'll be back with the headlines at 8:00. now it's time for newswatch. we're back after a few weeks off the air, with your comments on bbc news coverage. welcome to news watch with me, samira ahmed. coming up, we look back at the violent protests that spread around the country a month ago. did bbc news help to fan the flames of the riots? since we were last with you, it's been a busy summer of news, both at home and abroad. in this programme, we're going to focus on the alarming
7:48 am
sequence of events sparked by a knife attack in southport at the end ofjuly in which three young girls were killed. judith moritz spoke at the time to eight—year—old poppy, a friend of one of the victims. i literally knew that alice was definitely in there, so my fingers were crossed that she wasn't injured or anything because i knew she was in there. but then when i found out that she was in the hospital, i was like, “'oh, i'm crossing my fingers all week". that's what we've done for all of them, haven't we? you're crossing your fingers all week? i yep, all week. and then you said she's died from the incident. holly fitzgerald was one of a number of viewers who contacted us about that interview, writing...
7:49 am
maggie gabbe added... soon after the attack, an article started spreading widely on social media that included a false name for the alleged assailant, and wrongly suggested he was an asylum seeker who arrived in the uk by boat last year. that rumour seems to have been a factor in the violence that followed, and it was only three days after the killings that a court ruling allowed media organisations to broadcast the name of the actual suspect. axel rudakubana, seen here in old photos, was born in cardiff but grew up in southport and went to local schools. it“s understood he has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and has at times refused to leave the house. for the last seven years, he'd been living in this close
7:50 am
in the village of banks, just outside southport, with his parents, who were originally from rwanda. but the inclusion of that last detail on bbc tv and online reports annoyed viewers such as helen pink. this person was a british citizen from cardiff. why, therefore, was it relevant to mention that this person's parents came from rwanda? it was nothing to do with the crime, which was a non—racially motivated crime. all it did was it ignited deep—rooted anger against immigrants across the country. and the bbc must take some blame and responsibility for the riots that followed. whatever the causes, and they were much debated, disturbances broke out over several cities and towns in england and northern ireland in the days following the killings. a police car in a side street vandalised. around the next corner, a taxi overturned and set alight. about 400—500 protesters here in the centre of sunderland.
7:51 am
we've got a police helicopter overhead. you can probably see the riot squads just getting out of their van. we've had police on horseback charging through the crowd to disperse them. the terminology used in reports like that came in for some criticism, with an m wheal asking... others objected to what they saw as the excessive and inappropriate use of the phrase far—right. here“s dennis white.
7:52 am
well, let's discuss those points raised by newswatch viewers with richard burgess, who“s director of news content for bbc news. thank you for coming on newswatch. let's start with the language of the reporting. did you give them the veil of respectability by calling them protesters rather than rioters? i think the way we described the incidents actually changed over the course of the days, because at first there was some element of legitimate protest there around issues. but i think as time went on, it became increasingly clear that anybody who was out on the streets involved in these type of activities was involved in violence and rioting, and that's the type of language we increasingly used. what about the term far—right? was that a mistake? no. i mean, we were careful about our use of that. we tried to talk about, um, the events being arranged and led by far right elements,
7:53 am
and certainly the evidence of our reporting and our reporters suggested as much. and i think the police and the government backed that up as well. so there were undoubtedly far—right elements within this trouble, but i don't think it would be right to label everybody there as far—right. that interview with the eight—year—old girl in southport... a lot of people are uncomfortable with it, it was about the killing of herfriend. even with her mother sitting right there next to her, wasn't that a bad judgment? well, we do think really carefully about interviews like that. and the welfare of children is absolutely paramount. and judith moritz is a really experienced reporter, and we put a lot of checks and balances in place, yes, including the consent of the parent, but also in terms of how long the interview lasted,
7:54 am
that they were able to stop the interview if there were ever any concerns. ultimately, we thought that because this was a crime, a horrific crime that affected children and affected their friends in school, the issue of how children would react to it and how parents could speak to them was a really important one. so we felt, on balance that it was worth doing the interview. 0k. confusion around the identity of the teenager arrested for the stabbings fuelled racial tensions, as you'll know. when you did correctly name the suspect, why did daniel sandford say that the parents were immigrants from rwanda? you must have known that would add to the tensions. we felt that actually, it was important that we gave as much information as we could about the identity of the attacker because of the disinformation that was out there. we did have discussions, actually, even before the attacker was named, about how much information we would give out because we knew the name, but we weren't able to, because of legal reasons, actually say that name on air.
7:55 am
and our decision was, in actual fact, it was better to give out more information, clear information, correct information at a time when there was an increasing amount of really quite dangerous disinformation online. it's always a challenge with this kind of disturbance, and i can remember back to the 2011 riots across english cities. did you worry that showing all that coverage, all that footage of street disturbances, might encourage and maybe did encourage copycat rioting? i think whenever you're covering incidents of violence and trouble on the streets, you do need to have that in mind. “'are you amplifying something that really is an isolated incident, "and are you encouraging it by giving it airtime"? but i don't think that was the case on this occasion. these were significant riots. and, you know, that's really clear
7:56 am
by the police response, the government response and the response we've seen more recently in the courts. so, yes, we“re careful. yes, we“re careful not to use hyperbole or hype them up. but at the same time, this was an important new story that i think it was right that bbc news properly covered. richard burgess, thank you very much. thank you. just time to mention a couple of other topics that have been exercising you recently. first — coverage of the dramatic sinking of a superyacht off the coast of sicily last month, which killed seven people on board, including the tech entrepreneur mike lynch. this tragedy received lots of airtime across the media and drew the attention of large audiences. but frances robinson, among others, had her reservations. all the news programmes that i saw
7:57 am
from the day of the sinking for at least three or four days, there was at least five minutes and sometimes up to ten minutes of coverage, usually as the main headline item. whilst the sinking of the yacht and the loss of the seven lives is a tragedy, this extensive coverage over multiple days is not given when ordinary lives are lost at sea or refugees drown in the english channel as we have seen this week. it is very sad that the bbc seems to have chosen to provide this extensive coverage based on the wealth and presumed importance of those on the bayesian yacht. finally, if you've been consuming the news at all over the past couple of weeks, you mayjust have noticed the reforming of a certain band and a row over ticket sales of their forthcoming concerts.
7:58 am
micky d did... thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email: or you can find us on x: you can call us: and do have a look at previous interviews on our website.
7:59 am
that's all from us for now. thank you forjoining us. do think about getting in touch and perhaps even coming on the programme. we shall be back to hear more of your thoughts about how the bbc covers the news next week. goodbye.

8:01 am
north and north—west of the uk and cloudy skies in the south—east but not as much rain as yesterday. i will have all of the details. it“s saturday september the 7th. our main story. the prime minister sir keir starmer is making his first official visit to ireland today. he'll be in dublin for talks with his opposite number, simon harris. they ll discuss topics including commerce across the irish sea — and they'll attend a football match between ireland and england. our ireland correspondent chris page reports. at theirfirst meeting, sir keir starmer and simon harris were pictured having a pint. the photo symbolised a better relationship between their two countries after some years of strain. today they'll go to watch england take on ireland in the uefa nations league, but the on—pitch rivalry won“t disrupt the diplomacy. sir keir is on something of a tour of eu capitals. in recent weeks, he's had trips
8:02 am
to germany and france. the last british prime minister to go to dublin was borisjohnson five years ago. relations had cooled significantly. brexit was the major factor. the border with northern ireland was the uk“s only frontier with the eu. the issue of how to avoid checkpoints here became a huge sticking point. there was also tension between the governments over the question of how the conflict, known as the troubles, should be investigated. but sir keir starmer“s election victory was broadly welcomed in dublin as a chance for a new start. there have already been signs of improving co—operation. the uk and ireland are multi—billion pound trading partners and their relationship matters in any negotiations between london and brussels. simon harris has been meeting other international leaders this week he was in ukraine. back home, he'll be focusing on ireland's ties with its nearest neighbour.
8:03 am

also talking of resetting relations and getting warm words from hilary benn today, the secretary of state for northern ireland and he will be committing to a new chapter and underlining the uk government's commitment to the good friday agreement and maintaining stability at the northern ireland assembly after a period of uncertainty there, so it's clear the new labour government sees this as an opportunity to reset relations and sees the significance in being seen to try and do so after what has been a tense period between them and their nearest neighbours. shah their nearest neighbours. an important relationship. with the latest, thank you. more than 60,000 people have signed a petition calling for the extradition of a driver suspected of killing

a 12—year—old boy in a hit—and—run. dolars aleksanders is thought to have fled to latvia after the death of keaton slater injune. our reporterjoan cummins has the story. it's 12 weeks since 12 year old keaton slater died after being hit by a car in coventry. itjust breaks my heart because i can still hear his voice and still running in the house with his mates and so can i do this? can i do that? and so at the minute, it's just still raw. there was an outpouring of collective grief in the city at the time. fundraising, balloon releases and a minute's applause at the schoolboy“s beloved coventry city have offered comfort to the family, but their grief is swamped by unanswered questions. there's only one monster, but there's amazing thousands of people out there just giving us support and love that don't know us, and they're just reaching out to us. it's like i've got someone else on my shoulders helping me through it. police appealed to the public for information about dolars alexanders wanted on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. but three months later, and with no arrest,
8:06 am
the family have launched a petition calling for the government to intervene and extradite him from latvia, where he's he suspected of absconding to. three months, and there's nothing from hi. him running away and hiding as long as he has, it'sjust don't seem right. it just proves that there's no justice. but we need to getjustice. the family home has been filled with poignant reminders of life before loss, but both parents are simply struggling to understand why. to me, that's another thing that keeps going through my head. if he just got out the car and even tried to help my son. he didn't stop and like he was going excessively over the speed limit. he's got no care in the world. west midlands police refused to answer specific questions about their investigation, but they did issue a statement where they said that they were actively pursuing strong lines of enquiry. and they added that their focus remains on getting justice for keaton and his family. joan cummins, bbc news.

atmosphere, experiencing incredible heat before unfurling three huge parachutes to allow it to drift back down to the desert over new mexico. it did go to plan and there were a few technical issues with some of the thrusters but generally it works, but there was one glaring thing missing, the astronauts and the cap shall it was empty —— capsule. the arsenal stayed on the international space station and closed the hatch to the starliner rather than getting on it and they stayed there because there were technical problems with the spacecraft so when it took them up to space injune it had helium leaks, so nasa deemed it was not safe enough to carry the astronauts back home. safe enough to carry the astronauts back home-— back home. there's been a lot of talk about _ back home. there's been a lot of talk about what _ back home. there's been a lot of talk about what they _ back home. there's been a lot of talk about what they will - back home. there's been a lot of talk about what they will do - back home. there's been a lot of talk about what they will do that| talk about what they will do that and quite a lot of talk about may be that it and quite a lot of talk about may be thatitis and quite a lot of talk about may be that it is harder for their friends and family who they will not be joining again because they are scientists, astronauts and they are prepared to do the work they do up there. it’s prepared to do the work they do up there. “ . , prepared to do the work they do up there. �* , , , there. it's very interesting,

8:12 am
low cloud, mist and fog and it will break up for most of us and linger longer around the east coast of scotland but in the sunshine and temperatures to 23 to 24 degrees and there will be cloudy skies across england and wales typically 220 celsius and then as we head to the evening hours this area of low pressure will show its hand and it moves in from the south and will be thunderstorms overnight tonight, so through the evening hours you might see heavy showers and thunderstorms arriving across southern england and wales and they become more extensive across england and wales tonight but much of northern england, scotland and northern ireland stay dry but like the last few nights there will be mist and fog and low cloud and we still have moist air so temperatures in the mid—teens as we head through to tomorrow a line of downpours for northern england, wales down to the
8:13 am
south—west and sunny spells and a few scattered heavy showers and thunderstorms. scotland and northern ireland having the best of the dry weather and a few clouds but we could see 23 also and further south typically the high teens or low 205 and it's the great north run and we might well see some wet weather interrupting things at times. fairly light breeze from the north, certainly won't be feeling warm and that might be good news for some of the runners but you will leave the brolly if you are going to spectate. heading into monday, low pressure moves towards the east, still a few showers lingering for parts of eastern england through the day on monday and brighter skies moving in from the west but a change in air mass, so a bit more sunshine developing but it will feel fresher especially in the north where we are looking at the mid or high teens and further south you might get one or two spots touching 20 celsius on sunday but the cool air starts to move in through next week and you can see the blue colours, the colder
8:14 am
air from the north—west, can see the blue colours, the colder airfrom the north—west, so squeezing away the warmth and humidity we“ve squeezing away the warmth and humidity we've seen and another couple of warm days and a drop in temperatures into next week, sunshine and showers in the bulk of the showers next week will be in the north west. thank you, sarah. it can be difficult coming to terms with a condition like autism — but for people struggling to get an initial assessment, it can put their whole life on hold. the number of people waiting for an autism diagnosis across the uk has hit a record high in some areas. each of the four nations gathers and quantifies data differently — making it difficult to compare — so let's take a look at the figures for england. injune, there were more than 187,000 people waiting for an autism assessment. guidance from the national institute for health and care excellence states that no one should be waiting longer than 13 weeks for an autism diagnosis. but the most recent data from nhs england revealed
8:15 am
the average wait for an autism diagnosis was 300 days. in north—east england, more than 210,000 people are awaiting an nhs assessment. our reporter sharon barbour has been to speak to two mothers who are stuck, waiting for their children's diagnosis. two mothers who have never met before today, but they're both on the same path, coping with children who are autistic. from nine months old, he would not be cradled in my arms. he wouldn't be rocked to sleep. instead, he wanted to headbang and that was his form of self—regulation would be to bang his head and he would self—harm. so he would bite himself, biting, hitting, all kinds of behaviour. it puts a lot of strain and pressure on the families to try and help the child, when really, not everybody has the awareness and the understanding of autism. danielle has two sons who are already diagnosed as autistic,
8:16 am
but a third is on the waiting list and she's refusing to send him to school without a diagnosis. the first thing most people ask a child is “'what is your name?£ you can't say his name. we're not going to send him to school until he's had a diagnosis, but as you don't feel he would be safe in the setting? i don't feel he'd be safe or supported in a setting. no. and there are thousands of families across the region in the same position. what i desperately needed was that practical help, but also just to feel me personally, if you want, our family to feel better about life and that we're all going to be ok. leslie henderson runs the toby henderson trust, named after her son toby, who“s autistic. she recalls trying to cope 25 years ago. it used to really hit me terribly. i tried all sorts of things
8:17 am
because as he was doing it, often he was laughing and i sort of worked out over a period of time that i was given big reactions to it. i had to understand that he didn't mean it. he didn't understand it. how great is the need for autistic services in the region? in this locality and know that they are very seriously long waits. as i'm sure they probably are in the whole of the uk. i absolutely dread to think. the nhs and the region says improving access to assessment, diagnostic and support services for children is a key priority. adding nationally, referral for children's assessments have increased significantly and the north east and north cumbria has seen similarly high increases in referrals. for danielle and gemma, both waiting for assessments for their children.
8:18 am
the problem is urgent. it's becoming so apparent in society that so many parents, so many children are going without support. it's becoming more and more drastic where it's, you know, the waiting list is just going to snowball and there's no end in sight. sharon barber, bbc news. we“re joined now by steph sherratt, who co—founded the charity breaking barriers which supports autistic children and young people, as well as chief executive of the nuffield trust, thea stein. welcome to you both. steph, we will start with you because you have lived the experience.— start with you because you have lived the experience. yes, i have. m son lived the experience. yes, i have. my son is — lived the experience. yes, i have. my son is 27 _ lived the experience. yes, i have. my son is 27 now— lived the experience. yes, i have. my son is 27 now and _ lived the experience. yes, i have. my son is 27 now and was - lived the experience. yes, i have. i my son is 27 now and was diagnosed when he was three. it is quite a timely response, but if he had been there for the three years, it was at three years and things were different there, it was a statement of different educational needs and
8:19 am
nobody did anything until the statement was in place which needed the diagnosis, so for three years, was it, is it something i have done, where could i be looking and really there wasn't anything in there has been a cultural shift with the law changing in 2014 and the send reforms, that means that everything now should be needs lead and not diagnosis led but a huge problem is the information is not getting through to families and what you don't know, you don't know and if you really believe the diagnosis kicks off the process for support then you will wait, that is what you do. as part of the work we do it's making sure the information gets over to families that the law says differently. it does not mention diagnosis, it mentions impairment and need, so in any setting or anybody withholding support, pending
8:20 am
anybody withholding support, pending a diagnosis of autism, they are actually breaking the law and for some families to get that sport, although a diagnosis is a huge explanation, and for some families it was a huge relief. there was something, that the support that those people have to talk to, the start of the building your people and the village that will help you support and raise your child with autism is already there. and where you can look for it and it's ok to start to do that without a diagnosis. and i think until we get the message spread an awful lot further than we are doing and reassuring parents it is ok to ask for help and that legally you are backed up, and we will have stories like the families you have just sewn —— shown. like the families you have 'ust sewn -- shown. ,, . ., ., like the families you have 'ust sewn -- shown. ,, . . . -- shown. such an important point steh is -- shown. such an important point steph is making. — -- shown. such an important point steph is making, why _ -- shown. such an important point steph is making, why don't - -- shown. such an important point steph is making, why don't more i steph is making, why don't more people know that? i steph is making, why don't more people know that?— steph is making, why don't more people know that? i don't know why more people — people know that? i don't know why more people don't _ people know that? i don't know why more people don't know _ people know that? i don't know why more people don't know that. - people know that? i don't know why more people don't know that. but i | more people don't know that. but i think— more people don't know that. but i think the _ more people don't know that. but i think the way things are happening

that i_ law supports need to get the care that i need for the needs that my child _ that i need for the needs that my child before they get the diagnosis. and that's — child before they get the diagnosis. and that's a really hard thing to do on your— and that's a really hard thing to do on your own — and that's a really hard thing to do on your own so whilst they might not have a _ on your own so whilst they might not have a steph, most areas of the country— have a steph, most areas of the country have voluntary sector organisations, there are national organisations, there are national organisations, local authority led support— organisations, local authority led support but it's getting the understanding, because of somebody authority— understanding, because of somebody authority says you need this diagnosis before you can get something, it's pretty hard to say, actually. _ something, it's pretty hard to say, actually. i— something, it's pretty hard to say, actually, i don't think that's the way actually, idon't think that's the way it— actually, i don't think that's the way it is — actually, i don't think that's the wa it is. �* actually, i don't think that's the wa itis. �* ., actually, i don't think that's the wa itis.�* ., , way it is. but diagnosis is important _ way it is. but diagnosis is important because - way it is. but diagnosis is important because as - way it is. but diagnosis is i important because as steph way it is. but diagnosis is _ important because as steph outlined, if you have a child who is behaving differently, you do go a bit crazy thinking maybe it is me or something we have done, so for it to go through the professionals is quite important to have a piece of paper to a certain extent. part of the issue we are discussing is it is so difficult for families to get to the stage of having a diagnosis. it is
8:23 am
but to give _ stage of having a diagnosis. it 3 but to give families the understanding that yes, go down the diagnostic pathway if that's what you choose to do as a family, get that word out because autism is a word and their needs were the same the day before and the same as afterwards, but whilst that is going on know that those needs should be being met to the best of everybody“s ability. people should be being creative, making reasonable adjustments, schools should be having regard to the law, and that's the point, it's law, it“s having regard to the law, and that's the point, it's law, it's not families making it up. take us back to the figures- _ families making it up. take us back to the figures. every _ families making it up. take us back to the figures. every statistic - families making it up. take us back to the figures. every statistic is - families making it up. take us back to the figures. every statistic is a i to the figures. every statistic is a human story. but we go back to the originalfigures and human story. but we go back to the original figures and tell me if human story. but we go back to the originalfigures and tell me if i got it wrong, no one officially should wait more than 13 weeks for a diagnosis that the average weight is
8:24 am
300 days, so how is it we got to the point where, that is a massive discrepancy in the official guidance is not 13 weeks, because it never is. the simple answer is the capacity is not there to deal with the demand coming through the door and put in place for a level of demand that stayed pretty stable over a period of years. if demand that stayed pretty stable over a period of years.— demand that stayed pretty stable over a period of years. if you look at the graphs _ over a period of years. if you look at the graphs of _ over a period of years. if you look at the graphs of how— over a period of years. if you look at the graphs of how it _ over a period of years. if you look at the graphs of how it has - over a period of years. if you look at the graphs of how it has grown | over a period of years. if you look i at the graphs of how it has grown it is virtually — at the graphs of how it has grown it is virtually like that. there are hundreds— is virtually like that. there are hundreds of thousands of people coming _ hundreds of thousands of people coming forward seeking a diagnosis and. coming forward seeking a diagnosis and is _ coming forward seeking a diagnosis and. . . coming forward seeking a diagnosis and. , ., ._ ., and. is there a way of turning it round that _ and. is there a way of turning it round that this _ and. is there a way of turning it round that this is _ and. is there a way of turning it round that this is a _ and. is there a way of turning it round that this is a positive - and. is there a way of turning it round that this is a positive as i round that this is a positive as society we are more aware and seeking a diagnosis and understanding more? i seeking a diagnosis and understanding more? seeking a diagnosis and understandin: more? ~ �*, ., understanding more? i think it's a really important _ understanding more? i think it's a really important part _ understanding more? i think it's a really important part where - understanding more? i think it's a really important part where we i understanding more? i think it's a i really important part where we have come _ really important part where we have come to _ really important part where we have come to a _ really important part where we have come to a society and there were a whole _ come to a society and there were a whole range of people who are nero

citizens advice is a familiar service in many uk high streets, and this week it's marking its 85th birthday. established at the start of the second world war, some of the very first branches operated out of horse boxes. one of those was in portsmouth, where our reporter bryony leyland has beenjoining in the celebrations. the citizen the 5 advice bureau. yes, certainly. i can give you advice about your poultry. the message in this wartime ministry of information film was that the new citizens advice bureau were there to help with every kind of problem at a time of huge change. some of the first bureau operated out of horseboxes. these mobile advice centres were set up in september 1939, just after war was declared. portsmouth had one of the first seen here parked up in guildhall square. # who do you thinkyou are kidding, mr hitler?
8:27 am
# if you think we're on the run 85 years on the horsebox was back. history celebrated by the team behind the city's modern day citizens advice centre, who see parallels between the challenges then and now. back in 1939, we may have been dealing with things such as lost ration books, struggling to afford food for our families, the cost of living issues. and that's very similar to the problems we“re experiencing today. housing issues, certainly disrepair issues, but the cause may be different. so back then in 1939, it would have been because their houses have come under fire. and whereas today they may be living in, in sort of overcrowded properties or properties with other disrepair issues such as damp and mould. over the decades, the service has changed from being government funded to becoming a charity that relies on donations and grants. but the core values of being free and impartial are unaltered. # run run run. many people here have cause to thank citizens advice, including singer wendy. she sought help when her late sister jackie was diagnosed with early
8:28 am
onset dementia, and the family struggled to get support. she kind of fell through the cracks, so it was a very lonely place for us. and then citizens advice came in and they were just gave of their time and knowledge and got her because she couldn't work. she got too ill to work. they got her some, some funding to keep her going and just gave their advice and time so willingly. so i'll never forget the help that we had when there was no other help. the portsmouth team has never been busier, advising 1,500 people last year. the horsebox may be a thing of the past, but the offer of a listening ear and practical help is still in high demand. fascinating to know how that is starting —— how it started and still in very high demand. dan whitworth — from radio 4's moneybox —

8:30 am
people can apply for the fund and other councils work with trusted agencies like citizens advice who we were hearing about and other agencies like gps or food banks and they can take referrals. that is what tears and how it works. each council, it is up to them how they do it. he each council, it is up to them how they do it— they do it. he was eligible? it de-ends they do it. he was eligible? it depends on — they do it. he was eligible? it depends on your _ they do it. he was eligible? it depends on your local- they do it. he was eligible? it depends on your local council| depends on your local council because this degree of local autonomy is the need for help with financial crisis might be different in a area versus an urban area. one real—world example i will give you is i went to a place called disability stockport this week, a trusted partner of stockport council, a charity, because it is a trusted partner can distribute money from the funds to people who need it. one quite inspirational young man i met is called summer, he is

28, he had two big problems that the money helped him. the first was his health, he was going to appointments with a specialist hospital away from him. he needed to hip reconstructions, he needed his knee being done, and couldn't afford the appointments and physio. the fund helped him get his health back. most crucially, it helped him avoid sleeping rough on the streets, when he ended up homeless, he was in a hostel, but the hostel had charges. money was used from the fund to pay for the charges, and he said it prevented him from sleeping rough for a couple of months, the impact on his life was transformative. the su tort i on his life was transformative. the support i have _ on his life was transformative. the support i have received has been not 'ust support i have received has been not just life _ support i have received has been not just life changing, but life—saving. when _ just life changing, but life—saving. when i _ just life changing, but life—saving. when i came here, i didn't feel i had anything to live for, i had nothing — had anything to live for, i had nothing or— had anything to live for, i had nothing or no one, they've given me
8:32 am
the support— nothing or no one, they've given me the support and help to not only get to my— the support and help to not only get to my appointments and not be homeless, but also a reason to live. and so— homeless, but also a reason to live. and so really— homeless, but also a reason to live. and so really good news for him. this was last year when he was accessing the funds. his life has changed 180 degrees, he“s accessing the funds. his life has changed 180 degrees, he's in a better place, he“s changed 180 degrees, he's in a better place, he's got his own place and hoping to complete the last year of his degree, which was interrupted by everything going on. me of his degree, which was interrupted by everything going on.— by everything going on. we are well aware the row _ by everything going on. we are well aware the row over _ by everything going on. we are well aware the row over stopping - by everything going on. we are well aware the row over stopping the - aware the row over stopping the winter fuel allowance, there will be a lot of people who are caught up in that margins, it“s a lot of people who are caught up in that margins, it's gone completely, who might be thinking, maybe i should present myself to one of the agencies you are talking about. is that within the realm, the territory you are talking about?— you are talking about? because of this hute you are talking about? because of this huge degree _ you are talking about? because of this huge degree of _ you are talking about? because of this huge degree of local- you are talking about? because of. this huge degree of local authority, one way the councils are helping is
8:33 am
vouchers for energy bills, food vouchers. there is criticism, not just a winter fuel payment, but criticism from local councils, from charities, that it is too short—term, the funding isn“t charities, that it is too short—term, the funding isn't enough and it deals with crises, rather thanif and it deals with crises, rather than if you had longer term funding you could prevent it happening in the first place. ii you could prevent it happening in the first place-— you could prevent it happening in the first place. if the benchmarks are different _ the first place. if the benchmarks are different depending _ the first place. if the benchmarks are different depending on - the first place. if the benchmarks are different depending on the i are different depending on the council, if it is up to them to decide, there will be massive inconsistencies.— decide, there will be massive inconsistencies. yes, and some councils have — inconsistencies. yes, and some councils have struggled. - inconsistencies. yes, and some i councils have struggled. because inconsistencies. yes, and some - councils have struggled. because it only been extended by six months, councils... the more longer—term planning you can do, the more efficient they are. de department for work and pensions, it told me it is important this fund is extended, it was a cliff edge for some of the most financially vulnerable in the country. you will hear the phrase, it is working to fix foundations of the country by growing the economy. you can almost lose track sometimes,
8:34 am
£500 million, statements from the dwp. when you hearfrom people like sam, he was inspirational, the help he got was less than £1000. it has been transformative for him, i used the word again. some people haven't accessed it, but you hear stories like sam and it is good to hear. good to see the immediacy. thank you, it's been interesting. a34 is the time. mike, talk is through a drama in new york. jack draper's first semi final at a grand slam may have ended in stomach—churning fashion, but as he flies back from new york to join great britain's davis cup team, for next week's finals in manchester, he can reflect on a boundary—breaking season, in which he has won his first atp title, and in new york reached that first semi—final of a grand slam. but ultimately, the occasion triggered anxiety and sickness, and world number one yannik sinner proved a step up in class, too farfor him.
8:35 am
it was closer than the three—set defeat would suggest. in the biggest match of draper's career, the 22—year—old caused problems for sinner in a tight first set before losing it 7—5. the second went to a tie break, but as the contest became more physical, in that second set a peaky—looking draper vomited three times and was unable to inflict enough damage on sinner“s serve. definitely felt a little bit more, um, excited today. you know, a few more nerves around. and, you know, i'm definitely someone who's, you know, i think quite an anxious human being. um, so i think, you know, when, when you add all that together, sometimes i do feel a bit nauseous. nausea on court. and i do feel a little bit sick when it gets tough. so, um... yeah, i didn't have any problems before the match, but it obviouslyjust built up. now to football and the nations league, and wales manager craig bellamy said there's much more to come from his team, after his first match in charge ended in a 0—0 draw against ten—man turkey in cardiff.
8:36 am
wales had by the far better chances in their opening nations league match, and sorba thomas, the huddersfield forward who's on loan at nantes, thought he had finally broken the deadlock with a tidy lob, but it was disallowed for offside. afterwards, the new boss promised it won't be as this again under him. the more we learn, the more we spend time together, the finer details. i believe there's so much more, added such a good start, but there's way more to come from this team. england's interim boss lee carsley will want a victory in dublin tonight to strengthen his chances of keeping thejob. his side play the republic of ireland in the nations league. carsley was capped 40 times by ireland as a player, but says he won't sing either national anthem tonight. he says he respects the anthems, but has never sung one, just because of his own personal match preparation. two england players — declan rice and jack grealish — also represented ireland earlier in their careers.
8:37 am
so what sort of reception does the currently england boss think they'll get in dublin? we spoke about the atmosphere. we expect it to be an exciting, um, passionate, uh, loud, um, but it will be no different to what the players are used to in premier league games or high—level games. so, um, if the reception that we had after the the kids outside was anything to go by, it would be very positive. england's cricketers will resume on top, on 221—3, in theirfirst innings, on day two of their third and final test against sri lanka at the oval this morning. they were frustrated by some bad light and light drizzle yesterday which delayed play for a few hours, but ben duckett — as usual — made up for lost time with a dashing 86. and there was a welcome return to form for stand—in captain olllie pope. he reached an unbeaten century, before more bad light ended play. england, remember, already have an unassailable 2—0 lead in the series. i mean, all day,
8:38 am
i think, you know, they've had the conditions all day, but, you know, being stuck in and the lights have been on and the pitch a little bit green. so yeah, i think it was probably one of the better days of the summer. um, you know, we'll see tomorrow if we can kick on and get a really good score. well, england will face australia in three t20 matches and five one day internationals starting next wednesday. the tourists are preparing for that with a t20 series against scotland. after winning the first match on wednesday, they showed no mercy yesterday, piling up 196—4 from their 20 overs. josh inglis smashing 103 from just 49 balls. scotland were never in the hunt and collapsed to 126 all out inside 17 overs. so australia win the three—match series. the final game is in edinburgh this afternoon. now, it was a huge night in rugby league, with the top two teams going head to head. and it was wigan warriors who took a huge step towards retaining the league leaders“ shield as they beat super league title rivals hull kr to move above them
8:39 am
at the top of the table. liam marshall crossed the line twice for wigan to help send them two points clear at the top, with just two games of the regular season remaining. onto the bikes, and welshman stevie williams will take a 16—second lead into what is now the penultimate stage of the tour of britain, in northampton later. he couldn't make it a hat—trick of stage wins, in newark on trent yesterday, though. he finished 26th, with frenchman paul magnier claiming his second victory of the tour, having also won tuesday's opening stage. while over in spain, slovenia“s primoz roglic dominated stage 19 of the vuelta a espana to take the victory, and overall lead. the three—time champion looks likely to make that four titles now, because his lead is almost two minutes with just two stages to go. there are just two days left at the paralympics in paris, and great britain have surpassed their tokyo games tally, of 41 gold medals.
8:40 am
they've also met the target uk sport set them of winning, at least one 100 medals in total. dame sarah storey won one of those golds yesterday in a thrilling road race. she first competed at a paralympics in 1992. 32 years later — having swapped the pool for a bike — she's still competing, and still winning. yesterday she secured her 19th gold, and her 30th medal overall. let's take a look at the winning moment. in the finishing straight in the sunshine in clichy—sous—bois. it's a desperate battle between these two. it“s youth against experience. gauguin comes again. what has sarah storey got left? has she done it? she has. oh, what a story. a 19th gold medal. you didn't doubt her, did you? for 32 years now, she's been doing precisely that. claiming gold. wonderful scenes and wonderful pictures. a wonderful, never—ending
