at the 2024 paralympics with 14 more gold medals up for grabs before the closing ceremony tonight. yesterday, one of the 75 golds went to a familiar recipient with hannah cockroft once again topping the podium for paralympics gb. she took gold in the women's t34 800m final, her ninth paralympic gold medal and her second of these games after winning the 100m. there were others in the race, i promise, but cockcroft dominated throughout, coming home almost eight seconds ahead of team—mate kare adenegan. in the pool, stephen clegg roared back to win the men's s12100m butterfly final after being third at the halfway point. it's his second gold of the games and the 18th for british swimmers in paris. in the men's c1—3 road race, finn graham won his first ever paralympic gold, fending off a late fight back by frenchmen thomas peyroton—dartet and alexandre leaute whojoined graham on the podium. charlotte henshaw took first place in the vl3 caneoing event, narrowly edging out fellow brit hope gordon. the win is henshaw�*s second paralympic gold medal. she'll be in the kl2 final today, hoping to defend her title.

emma wiggs also won gold in the canoeing, retaining her vl2 title for a third paralympic title overall. she also has another chance at gold today in the kl2 against charlotte henshaw. so five golds yesterday for 47 overall now. the final of the us open men's singles could deliver an american champion for the first time in over 20 years later with taylor fritz playing world number one jannik sinner, while the women's tournament in new york couldn't deliver a second—straight home winner. aryna sabalenka beat america'sjessica pegula in the final. the two—time australian open champion has added a first us open title, her first grand slam title since the death of her former boyfriend in march and a difficult time in the majors since. sabalenka's win in straight sets also comes a year after she lost the 2023 final to coco gauff and five since her dad passed away. after i lost my father, it's always been my goal to put our family

after i lost my father, it's always been my goal to put ourfamily name in the tree of dennis, and every time i see my name on the trophy, i am so proud of myself, i am proud of my family that they never gave up on my family that they never gave up on my dream and that they were doing everything they could to keep me going. the second test between england and sri lanka has been characterised by bad light and some bad decisions by the home side. england will start day 3 at the oval looking to take back control. captain 0llie pope made 154 in their first innings but none of his team—mates who batted yesterday got more than 20, england collapsing to 325 all out. sri lanka began their chase slowly as debutantjosh hull took his first test match wicket, but after 0lly stone put sri lanka five down. they rallied to end the day 114 behind. meanwhile, england all rounder moeen ali has announced his retirement from international cricket after being overlooked for the upcoming white ball series against australia later this month.

moeen is now 37 and played 68 tests, 138 0dis and 92 t20s for england. meanwhile, scotland were unable to prevent a whitewash series loss to australia as they lost the third and final t20 match by six wickets. cameron green was named man of the match after taking three wickets before making an unbeaten 62 with the bat. in rugby union, england's women notched up a 14th—straight victory over france, a convincing 38—19 win in gloucester. jess breach scored her two tries either side of half—time as the red roses prepared for a match against world champions new zealand at twickenham next weekend. they're then off to canada for the second year of the wxv1 tournament, which england will start as the defending champions. playing as the defending champions. in france every time i then playing in france every time we play then we know it will be a battle until the final whistle. we beat them in friendlies but you don't get much better in playing in france at

the allianz stadium and against new zealand. i think the girls, we came out of the blocks firing. france had a good ten minutes within that but we just needed to stick to our process topic we worked on a lot during the preseason and a lot of chaos but is come together and come good today. warrington wolves beat st helens by 16 points to 2 with the race for the top two positions in superleague hotting up. the wolves ran in two tries in the first half with jordan crowther helping his side to a 12—2 lead at the break. josh thewlis added two penalties in the second half as warrington moved to within 2 points of second placed hull kr. the top two in the table secure home semifinals in the playoffs. unlike the olympics the paralympic 's roger and nina innes with not only the closing ceremony but lots more moulds as well. make sure you don't just more moulds as well. make sure you don'tjust sit in more moulds as well. make sure you don't just sit in front more moulds as well. make sure you don'tjust sit in front of more moulds as well. make sure you don't just sit in front of the more moulds as well. make sure you don'tjust sit in front of the tally late on because there is a lot more to enjoy. 47 gold will likely be

the historic towns along this coastline seem unspoiled, but don't be fooled. the stretch has had billions of euros poured in since the country gained independence from serbia almost 20 years ago — luxury flats and hotels, homes for superyachts, and enormous infrastructure projects. but there is a colourful old montenegro that some say is at risk of being forgotten. could the old balkan sea stories of pirates and merchants, sailors and fishermen be replaced with a glitzy new chrome—plated future? there are some people who are trying to stop that from happening. from the explorers telling old stories with new tech... laughter that was amazing! we are trying actually to... ..to discover all the story behind them. ..to the drivers of these beautiful but treacherous mountain roads... oh, my gosh! why doesn't he move over?! you're good! she gasps he was going so fast. see, you... now, your tolerance,

building up. ..and the locals in love with montenegro's maritime show stopper... ..off limits to all but the richest visitors. he shouts go, go, go! go, go! pull! he shouts go, go, go! go, go! pull! you, a little bit. now you. it's me and andrea against a bunch of hardened montenegrin fishermen.

and you know what? we're not losing! 0k. come on. 0h, she's catching up! we can't let this old lady beat us. no, no! laughte ., , faster! will be a crash! no! _ don't crash! actually, we are stronger than guys. yes. as long as we don't come last, i don't care. yes. we're in kotor bay — one—of—a—kind world heritage landscape ringed by historic towns and villages. those fishermen — they're so fast! how are they so fast?! my arm muscles are burning. you will be stronger. we are not last! hey! laughter the contestants here all live on the banks the contestants here all live on the banks of the bay and once a year come togetherfor a race

and a fish supper. i feel like i've crashed someone's family gathering. yes, everything you see, it's... yeah. ..like at home. domestic atmosphere. i love it, i love it. it's easier with the hands. with the hands? 0h. you just... ..like this and you try with the hands. you don't need them both. ah! that's where i'm going wrong. fish is eating with the hands. right. oh, yeah. i see you're eating with your hands, too. tell me about your family. my mother was winner, but before... your mum won! yes. wow! when she was young, she liked this. also, father, after... and your dad won it as well? yes. and now me and my son are here... great! ..after the years. sorry we didn't win it this year. but we will do next year. 0k~ _ next year, i'll be in training. you will come back. yes.

so, what's it like growing up here? very nice. it's a small place, but for... also for the houses and everything, we try to keep everything like it was. we are not a lot of us, stay here, from old families. you can count us on fingers. but the area's changing. further along the bay, the superyacht marina of porto montenegro is attracting high rollers from all over the world. work started almost as soon as independence was declared in 2006. to this day, it continues to expand. i think it's quite glitzy. it reminds me of dubai. yes. yes, it's a little bit glitzy, but from that side of the bay, it's ok. they needed something like that. we have here tradition and they make now porto montenegro. for me, it's ok. very nice restaurants. also, you have here to see something... ..some other face

of montenegro. so, old and new. as the afternoon wears on, it feels like there are awards for everyone. even andrea's presented with her own camellia — even though we came second to last! so, inevitably, i'm summoned to the top table too. thank you very much, everyone, for having us, for allowing us to compete in your camellia trophy. it was such a fantastic event and it was really great that everyone was so welcoming and included us, and let us enjoy and be part of your local traditions. so, thank you. thank you very much. so, this bay is full of shipwrecks. we're talking roman cargo ships, venetian merchant ships, planes and submarines

from the first and second world war. if you can dive and you're interested in history, these here are rich waters. hi, darko. welcome. thank you. please. darko kovacevic has been exploring them and mapping their contents. he and his team at the university are scanning the many wrecks in the bay, one by one, and creating an online catalogue for people to swim around in virtual reality. darko, why is this so important? digitisation of the shipwrecks is giving the ability to the community to really first time see the wrecks that they were not able to see, if they are not divers. most of the community, they are not divers — the kids and elder people etc. thank you. early the following morning, we head out into the bay to see these sights in real life.

i'm a relative novice at wreck diving, so darko has brought his team to look after me. signal me, please. 100 bar. 50 bar. at 50 bar. 50. 0k. i think this is my first wreck dive, actually. first wreck dive, yeah. because most wrecks aren't 18m, right? it's not scary. darko, what's the visibility like? it should be up to 20m. up to 20m? yesterday was quite clear, so i believe we will be able to see the whole wreck. darko is taking me to see a yugoslav patrol boat sunk during a naval exercise in 1983. it's become one of the most popular wrecks to dive in montenegro. you can swim through the hole left by the grenade blast, and the sponges growing on it

make it a colourful, otherworldly experience. wow! that was amazing! the water was so blue. yeah, it was nice visibility. really nice. the patrol boat's one of the more modern relics down there. but the next thing darko wants to show me is much more ancient — a recent discovery made only last year. so, now we are at the site with the roof tiles. we suspect that the tiles are originating from roman to medieval period, when the development within the bay was flourishing. so, this site might be correlated with the shipwreck which is on the entrance of this bay. the roof tiles are already scanned and now the team is working to see if they can link them to a roman vessel found in deeper waters. darko, there were so

many tiles down there. well, it's a very interesting site. i don't believe that that's a wreck, but most likely, the weather was very heavy and someone was throwing those tiles overboard to make the vessel lighter, so he can escape. but it's wonderful to have the backstory, to know the history behind it. yeah, i think so. we are trying, actually, to discover all the story behind and then to give it to our colleagues in the dive centres, so they can tell the story to the tourists. i love what darko and his team are doing. it's all about generating enthusiasm. and if they can convince everyone else that this is worth preserving, we stand a chance of saving this so everyone else can see it too. this may be an historic stretch of coastline, but it's modernised rapidly since independence in 2006, and not only in kotor,

which opened its new cable car last year. billion—euro developments at porto montenegro, lustica bay and porto novi have attracted the super rich and their yachts. some say this is the 21st century's answer to the french riviera. well, if you're trying to build some infrastructure for these high—end newcomers, well, you can see for yourself — mountains and valleys everywhere. and historically, that's been a problem for montenegrin road builders, which is why some of the driving here is not for the faint of heart. work has now started on a big road upgrade, running from kotor bay down the coast to the resort town of budva. it's part two of a project that's already seen montenegro's first motorway open, running from the seaside town of bar all the way to the serbian capital, belgrade. but i'd heard some of the country's most difficult roads are often the most beautiful and wanted to take a look.

she laughs need a ride? yes. i love it! check it out. 0k. it's been a while since i've driven a manual car. janko scepanovic is my guide. he's brought his vintage yugo. i need two hands! one thing you should know, and this may be the most crucial thing, this thing have stopping... like, need stopping space of one train. so, when you press the brake... 0ne train?! yeah, when you press the brake, count. you need, like, a few metres until the yugo stops. right. so, no tailgating? no. yugos were so popular here in the 1980s, when the country was part of yugoslavia, that they became something of a national symbol. nope. sorry. yeah, we're good. as i stall! now we just need

a little bit of practice! go ahead. put the hammer down, billy. they laugh here we go! so, tell me about the yugo. part of yugoslavian heritage. it was... in socialism, nothing was too flashy, let's say. right. like, they need the car that was cheap to buy. affordable, too. oh, gosh. i shouldn't have done that. no, you're good. affordable to everyone. right. and easy to repair. so, you have this prime example of the... every single part of this car was, like, produced and assembled in yugoslavia. right, and is it easy to get parts for this now? no, no. the stretch i'm approaching is notorious. the kotor serpentine has 25 switchbacks with a precipitous drop

down one side. kotor was, like, super connected by the sea for the whole world. but for inlands, this road, with a little road next to this, was the only connection with the continental part of the world. so, now we're going to the left side. gears grind turning left. this is mandatory. oh, my god. hold on... to crunch the gears! yeah. so, what are the tips for driving this road? lock your eyes on the horizontal. hope for the best! yeah. sorry, sorry. 0ops. so, is everyone happy about this new highway? uh, i guess. i'm happy. do you think...you know, people will be missing out on the adventure? of course. every time when i'm not in a rush, i try to take this one because it's not only adventure, it's, like, experience. it's tight. you have to stop. you both have to reverse.

you talk to people. you stop at some nice, like, bars, local farm or whatever. i've got cars behind me that really want to... you can let them overtake you here. shall i let them? yeah. you can overtake me. engine revs bleep you're good, you're good. don't worry. right. 0k. it should be in. oh, my god, i hate this. i can't. no, you won't go anywhere. don't worry. try again. engine splutters engine revs 0h! so, what did you do? no idea. so, for many montenegrins, i guess this great big new highway is a really good thing. but, you know, if the school of thought that travelling is more about the journey, then i can't help but think they're missing out on some kind of adventure. oh, my god, i'm in the wrong lane, aren't i?!

my final stop takes me further down the adriatic coast to one of montenegro's national treasures — somewhere i've been keen to revisit since i last came almost 20 years ago. it's called sveti stefan. and isn't it superb? it's a 15th—century village on a fortified island set into the sea. after the second world war, the whole island was turned into a state—owned hotel, with locals free to come and go as they pleased. since 2007, it's been privately run as a super high—end resort enjoyed by people like robert de niro, brad pitt and the beckhams. tennis star novak djokovic even got married there. but unless you can afford at least 800 euros a night for a room, the whole site is strictly off limits. imagine the statue of liberty

being only for the rich, or the eiffel tower, or the taj mahal. the funny thing is, this island is owned by the state. but in 2007, they leased it to a luxury hotel chain. i last came here in 2006 when montenegro was newly independent. and as i take my selfie stick along the causeway, i'm not seeing many changes at first. from the outside, it looks pretty much the same. what i have noticed, though, is looking back, that landscape has changed dramatically. there's a lot more buildings. there's high—end restaurants and shops. oh, yes, i remember these gates. huh! i think this is as far as we can go. it's chained up. but look at that courtyard. super cute.

the hotel also reserves some of the nicest nearby beaches for guests only. queen's beach is totally off limits to the public. king's beach is accessible but only to those willing to pay the 200 euro daily fee for sunbeds. however, the hotel has been shut since 2021, which means, for the time being, the beaches are open to all. dragana runs a guest house nearby and has been front and centre of a campaign to get the island reopened to the public. two of my aunties are born on sveti stefan. they were born there?! yes. their mother, danica, was a cook in sveti stefan. many families here has members of their families who are born on sveti stefan. as you know, on the end of 19505,

the families was moved out from their houses. and after few years, when sveti stefan started to work as a hotel, they come back to work on the island and to serve tourists in their own houses. but, you know, that was a period when they thought that they do something very important and good for the community, for the state, then yugoslavia. now, the grandsons and daughters cannot enter the island. yeah. it's forbidden to just to enter and to...to see the island. the bell! yes. church bell. yes, church bells. that is the church alexander nevsky. after that is going church sveti stefan, arhidakon sveti stefan. two churches. can local people go to these churches? you know, it's, for us,

allowed when it's some, um... ..ceremonies. a few times in a year. and after the liturgy, we have to go back. security is on the way. you have only one footpath. you cannot go left. you cannot go right. they'll show you how you can... and you go out. you know, we feel very bad. what do you hope for the future of sveti stefan? maybe government of montenegro can open the island, partly as a hotel, partly as a museum town that the tourists can come, can pay for the entrance, but they will have even one street, which will be going to talk the historical story to the tourists. the tourists know where they come, what is the meaning of the island, how huge a history the island has,

and the people who used to live there. but there's one way you can get a pretty good view of the island, and for that, you'll need to take to the skies. hopefully, we can get a bird's—eye view of sveti stefan. seeing we can't access it for real, i'd like to see it from the top and get as close as i can. when we start, we should make a few steps forward. that moment, you'll pull the glider above head. 0k. when the glider be overhead, i will tell you, "run!" and we should keep running all the time until the edge. just keep running... yeah. ..until it falls away? yeah. 0k. i see you're a very sporty girl. it is very easy. she shrieks oh, my god! whoa! she laughs

look at this! it's amazing. wow! she yelps i don't like the turbulence. wow. look, there's a swimming pool. looks a bit murky. wow. we can see the church! look at all these little villas. isn't it beautiful? sveti stefan looks so amazing from up here. i can really see why they charge a pretty packet to stay there. you can also see the privacy it offers people. but in offering that at a premium, there's a cultural landmark lost,

not just to montenegrins, but to all of us who want to come and see it. there we go. we landed on the beach at sveti stefan! can you believe it? the country's transforming, thanks in part to lots of new wealth arriving on its shores. but the people i've met here have blown me away with their affection for the old montenegro, quirks and all. they've got so much determination to make sure the things that make this place special aren't lost in the massive changes now under way. and you know what? i think they might just stand a chance.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. 0ur headlines today: hundreds of thousands of children are waiting up to a year for hospital treatment. the prime minister says the current state of the nhs is unforgivable. the first tuc conference under a labour government for more than a decade begins in brighton later today. good morning from newcastle where in a few hours time tens of thousands of people will be lining up here to take part in the 43rd great north run. in sport, it's the final day of the paris paralympics, with britain hoping to add to their golden tally. hannah cockcroft has taken her career total to nine with her second of these games in the 800 metres. good morning. a cooler day for all of us today, as mist, fog and low cloud in the north,

some sunny spells and heavy showers and thunderstorms for the south. all your details here on bbc breakfast. it's sunday september 8. our main story: a damning report on the state of the nhs in england due later this week will highlight severe problems for children and young people getting access to care. the prime minister, sir keir starmer, blamed previous governments for leaving the nhs "broken", but the conservatives accused him of "chasing headlines" and said they left the health service with "more doctors, more nurses and more funding in real terms". our health editor hugh pym has the story. within hours of forming the new government, ministers were saying the nhs was broken and the problems could not be fixed overnight. the medical expert lord darzi was asked to carry out a rapid review of the state of the nhs in england. a diagnosis, as one source put it, highlighting which areas needed fixing.

his full report is due out later in the week, now the first findings have been released, including that more than 100,000 infants have waited more than six hours in a&e departments last year. 800,000 children and young people are on waiting lists for hospital treatment, with 175,000 waiting between six and 12 months. and 160,000 waiting more than a year for mental health support. lord darzi there was a relatively bigger reduction in routine lhs operations in the pandemic than other health systems. the prime minister putting the blame on the conservative government. he has been really clear the nhs is broken but not beaten. the reason he identifies is because of the money taken out of the nhs, especially in the early years of the coalition, 2010 onwards, the lancely reforms which were hopelessly misconceived, spent a lot of money and had to be then reversed. and then covid on top of all that

which has put us in this awful position for the nhs. a separate report warns that plans by the labour government to increase nhs treatment will only make a small contribution to hitting the waiting time target. labour promised in its first year to deliver 40,000 more operations and appointments each week but the nhs confederation representing employers says a lot will be needed to hit the 18—week target for people to be seen or get treatment. their analysis shows that the combination of the size of waiting lists, 7.5 million people, and the growth in demand means that what the secretary of state has announced will only go a very small way to meeting his target. we're going to have to do a whole lot of other things as well. the conservatives said after time in opposition to think about the issues, labour's instinct was to politicise children's health, rather than provide solutions and reform of the nhs. hugh pym, bbc news.

we will talk more in the few minutes about what you has been talking about. let's look at the rest of the morning 's news. political eyes on the conference season under way. one getting started today. the trades union congress is meeting in brighton for the start of its annual conference — the first one to take place under a labour government for nearly 15 years. the tuc represents 48 unions, with 5.5 million members. we're joined now by our political correspondent georgia roberts. georgia, what can we expect? workers rights are high on the current government 's agenda. the tuc includes _ current government 's agenda. the tuc includes most unionised workers in england _ tuc includes most unionised workers in england and wales and for the first time — in england and wales and for the first time in many years the biggest party— first time in many years the biggest party is _ first time in many years the biggest party is sympathetic to their aims is now— party is sympathetic to their aims is now in— party is sympathetic to their aims is now in power. labour these days also claiming to be the party of business — also claiming to be the party of business and unions will want to know— business and unions will want to know over— business and unions will want to know over this parliament how exactly — know over this parliament how exactly that squares with workers

some by gunshots and some in the resulting traffic chaos, but nobody is reported to have died. the prime minister has defended his decision to withdraw the winter fuel allowance from all but the poorest pensioners, as mps prepare to vote on the measure on tuesday. the plan has been criticised by charities, opposition parties and some labour mps but sir keir starmer said the party is willing to make tough choices to help the country. i am absolutely convinced we will only deliver that change and i'm absolutely determined we will, if we do the difficult things now. i know they're unpopular, i know they're difficult, of course they're tough choices. i note there that you say it's unpopular. are you willing to be unpopular? we're going to have to be unpopular. popular decisions aren't tough, they're easy. when we talk about tough decisions, i'm talking about tough decisions. the last government ran away from, that governments traditionally run away from, i am convinced that

because they've run away from difficult decisions, we haven't got the change we need for the country. the king will attend a church service near balmoral this morning, on the second anniversary of the death of his mother, queen elizabeth ii. charles will head to crathie kirk for private prayer and reflection. the late queen, who worshipped at the same church, was staying at her highland estate when she died, aged 96, two years ago. britain's jack draper has been reflecting on his gruelling match in the us open semifinals. he lost in straight sets to the world number one, italy's jannick sinner, putting in so much effort that he vomited on court three times. he's been talking to our sports news correspondent laura scott. it's been a big breakthrough in the big apple forjack draper. having had some time to reflect after his semifinal defeat... i've had a bit of time to rest... he told me he woke up determined to put himself further. he told me he woke up determined to push himself further. i wanted to give more, but it was tough in that

situation last night. but overall from last two weeks, i've taken a lot of confidence. it seems like mount everest when you are going through all the lower levels. when i got injured last year for a while i took a look at myself and, began to just really lock in on everything i needed to do, whether off court, on court and since then my consistency has been great. having the injuries i had, and having the time i had away from the court, really helped me to gain perspective and realise if you put the work in and work hard, good things can happen quickly. it's been a good example that hard work does play off. facing the world number one in the most important match of his life, draper found it hard to keep things calm and down. he vomited three times. how keen are you to focus on addressing that? i'm definitely going to go home, this has happened a few times now in different

situations for me. i push my body to the limit all the time in training and my mindset. i don't have to worry about not doing enough because i am. a lot of the issues i have are mental. i will have to work on that and understand myself better in order to compete at the highest levels. this season has bought his first atp tour title — a victory over wimbledon to champion carlos alcaraz, the british number one mantle and, now, this run in new york. this progress has led to many comparisons with his idol, andy murray. obviously a lot of narrative around me being the next andy murray, the next whatever, i just want to be jack draper, i want to achieve what i can achieve. my number one goal is to reach my potential as a player whatever that looks like. after a fortnight that has both energised and exhausted him, draperflies home, believing his career is onlyjust taken off. laura scott,

that has been drifting northwards overnight bringing heavy showers and thunderstorms for some it will be a slow moving area of high pressure today, if you have the rain it might recall past today. 0ver today, if you have the rain it might recall past today. over the past few hours thunderstorms tracking across central and parts of england into wales, then a line of cloud across parts of southwest england and wales in northern england bringing on and off outbreaks of rain, then sunny spells and scattered heavy showers and thunderstorms across central and southern ranges and. if you catch these heavy thundery downpours could be localised flooding in the far southeast of england. northern ireland and scotland having a decent —looking day. temperature is as decent —— recent days, most of us in the high teens or low 20s and the great north run today quite a murky and foggy run, some rain around through the course of the day but not too hot for the runners, only 15. you will need your umbrella if you are going to spectate. into the

evening still got this line of cloud and rain across northern england and wales, drifting its way eastward, eastern areas stay murky overnight still quite mild in the midteens but cooler and fresher conditions from the north—west, not as warm and humid as it has been overnight. then as we move through the day that area of cloud and showery rain lingering across parts of eastern england and eastern scotland things brightening up eastern scotland things brightening up from the west before the next area of rain moves to the far north—west by the end of the day. temperatures down a notch compared to the weekend, 14 — 18 feeling fresher and more autumnal across scotland and northern ireland compared to the warmth we saw. this area of low pressure continues to progress towards the south and east tuesday opening the doors for more autumnal cooler fresher flow of air, bringing a scattering of showers even a hobbit wintry over the highest mountains of scotland.

further south cloud clearing away gusts of 30 — 40 miles an hour and perhaps 50 for the north—west. it will feel cool especially when you add on the windchill for tuesday, they will see 18 or 19 in the far south, 11 degrees across the north and north—west scotland. you can see the blue colours moving on through the blue colours moving on through the middle of the week a cold air mass from the north—west and blustery wind, next week a drop in temperature feeling more autumnal, sunny spells, scattered showers and most of them across the north—west of the uk. a mostly dry day across scotland and northern ireland, at some rain for england and wales. our main story this morning is a damning report into the state of the nhs in england by the surgeon and former labour minister lord ara darzi. he says children are being

let down in several ways, including a shortage of some medicines to treat adhd — that's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. young people who have the condition say they can't concentrate at school and feel like they're being set up to fail, as ben moore reports. new term, new challenges. but one thing won't change in six form for 16 your alice, her adhd medication is still in short supply. tt 16 your alice, her adhd medication is still in short supply.— is still in short supply. it gave me the ability to _ is still in short supply. it gave me the ability to actually _ is still in short supply. it gave me| the ability to actually concentrate. but if i hadn't had the medication, i wouldn't be able to sit down and study and i wouldn't have sat down and focus on my exams. police study and i wouldn't have sat down and focus on my exams. alice relied on her medication _ and focus on my exams. alice relied on her medication to _ and focus on my exams. alice relied on her medication to get _ and focus on my exams. alice relied on her medication to get through i and focus on my exams. alice relied | on her medication to get through her gcse revision and exams and is pretty chuffed with her results. t pretty chuffed with her results. i got higher than my predictions. pretty chuffed with her results. i i got higher than my predictions. what sort of grades _ got higher than my predictions. what sort of grades did _ got higher than my predictions. what sort of grades did you get? i - got higher than my predictions. what sort of grades did you get? i got i sort of grades did you get? i got seven, sort of grades did you get? i got seven. eight. — sort of grades did you get? i got seven, eight, nine _ sort of grades did you get? i got seven, eight, nine and - sort of grades did you get? i got seven, eight, nine and 16. i sort of grades did you get? i got seven, eight, nine and 16. but. seven, eight, nine and 16. but there

it is in small pockets it can work beautifully and work really well. but as well as that i think we have to think about how do we stop children getting ill in the first place, how do we stop them becoming unwell? and think about the really damaging effects we are seeing now in property. 0ne damaging effects we are seeing now in property. one in four of our children are now living in poverty in the uk. �* ., children are now living in poverty in the uk. . ., i. children are now living in poverty in the uk. . ., ,, , children are now living in poverty in the uk. . ., i. ,, , , in the uk. and do you think this is secific to in the uk. and do you think this is specific to paediatrics _ in the uk. and do you think this is specific to paediatrics or - in the uk. and do you think this is specific to paediatrics or do i in the uk. and do you think this is specific to paediatrics or do you i specific to paediatrics or do you think when we see the wider reporter will be across the nhs? t think when we see the wider reporter will be across the nhs?— will be across the nhs? i think there are _ will be across the nhs? i think there are some _ will be across the nhs? i think there are some issues - will be across the nhs? i think there are some issues that i will be across the nhs? i think l there are some issues that apply will be across the nhs? i think i there are some issues that apply for not only children but for adults and elderly care as well, but i think we have simply got our prioritisation wrong here. when you think about it, most of the diseases that adults get, whether it is cancer, dementia or cardiovascular diseases, many of them are because of a lifetime of problems, and a lot of them starting

children, childhood, and we are firm believer that if you get it right for children and families and you can enable children to have the best nutrition, to be well enough to access school and get their learning done and to avoid all the chronic illnesses and the health problems they are getting, then we know we will have more robust adults who will have more robust adults who will get less illnesses and diseases as well. i think this agenda does need to look at prevention, but also i would say to you that there has been a real problem in children's services, when you look at the emergency care and the burden, the shocking statistics we are seeing in young children waiting to many hours, but also look at the facilities we have the surgery, the waiting lists, intensive care beds that are all too often full with sick children being shipped around the country to get the care they need, and we simply have to put a stop to that and put some more effort into that. i would say also a lot of this does come back, i bring

it back to prevention. we can't continue to build new hospitals, we do have to put more effort into our community services including our primary care. our gps are fantastic, they are working so hard, but they simply don't have the time, effort and sometimes the skills and knowledge now to actually be able to turn this around. we need to think more carefully about how we support children close to home and closer to schools. , , ., , ., schools. give us an insight about the problems _ schools. give us an insight about the problems at _ schools. give us an insight about the problems at the _ schools. give us an insight about the problems at the moment i schools. give us an insight about| the problems at the moment and schools. give us an insight about i the problems at the moment and the potential— the problems at the moment and the potential solutions that you have talked _ potential solutions that you have talked about needing more prevention is a clear— talked about needing more prevention is a clear solution. what kind of problems— is a clear solution. what kind of problems are you seeing in your clinics _ problems are you seeing in your clinics that — problems are you seeing in your clinics that children are presenting with now_ clinics that children are presenting with now that, i don't know, maybe earlier_ with now that, i don't know, maybe earlier in_ with now that, i don't know, maybe earlier in your career you weren't seeing? — earlier in your career you weren't seeing? i— earlier in your career you weren't seeinu ? ., ., , , earlier in your career you weren't seeina? ., ., , , ., seeing? i do many things, so i draw ou to seeing? i do many things, so i draw you to perhaps— seeing? i do many things, so i draw you to perhaps two _ seeing? i do many things, so i draw you to perhaps two ends _ seeing? i do many things, so i draw you to perhaps two ends of- seeing? i do many things, so i draw you to perhaps two ends of the - you to perhaps two ends of the spectrum here. i you to perhaps two ends of the spectrum here. lam you to perhaps two ends of the spectrum here. i am a long and breathing specialist working in a hospital in newcastle and i see

children with really complicated medical problems now surviving prematurity or severe problems or major surgeries and surviving complex health needs and we get really good now at keeping children alive and getting them back on track, but we are not very good yet at getting them out of hospital and into a loving family home and into schools and the support they need, so we are finding there are efficiencies slow them down and this slows everything down. complicity is a big problem. the other side of my job, i see a lot of asthma work on things i see now that i didn't see, i see so many children and young people with asthma that have major problems with other things. their weight, there is no doubt we are seeing an epidemic of children with severe weight problems, and that actually makes their breathing issues so much worse and it is so hard for us to tackle, i can't treat

that with drugs, it doesn't work. we need to be thinking about stopping them getting so overweight, driving better health and fitness, better nutrition and access to nutrition. the reason for this, it is simply poverty. it really drives this. if you can't afford to eat well, you eat cheaper and processed, high sugarfoods, and it causes eat cheaper and processed, high sugar foods, and it causes their asthma to be more of a problem. the other thing i see in the asthma clinic as there is a rising tide of children with poor mental health and trying to treat somebody with a chronic condition who is also getting major anxiety disorders or autism or adhd, getting major anxiety disorders or autism oradhd, it getting major anxiety disorders or autism or adhd, it adds another layer to it can makes it much harder for us to successfully help them. thank you so much for coming on and talking to us this morning. we are really grateful to you. doctor mike mckean from the royal college of paediatrics and child health. so many layers to that. sunday with laura kuenssberg is on bbc one at 9:00 this morning,

know that there are many many hard yards ahead. we shouldn't be too naive about this. politicians like to indulge in what i call managing our expectations, things are truly terrible so that try to turn things around, they are hoping for some credit further down the line, but it is an interesting and difficult moment in these early days of this government. thejubilation of government. the jubilation of the victory of the election for a labour is gone and now the hard work is ahead. but we talk about tons of things and we mightjust have managed to get a scoop on the name of the new downing street cat. filth! of the new downing street cat. 0h! now it is good! thank you, laura. we will be with you at nine o'clock. see you then. it's the final day of competition at the 2024 paralympics with m more golds up for grabs before the closing ceremony tonight. 6.5 weeks ago the olympic and paralympic odyssey began not only the athletes, but us! the sports

reporters! it has been one of those things that you have this daily dose, and particularly the paralympics, and you start to think, what can you cherry pick, what 185 medals, 61 gold what can you cherry pick, what185 medals, 61 gold medals and hannah cockroft is one of those people who in decades to come will look back and think the achievements were a very, very, very much telling the test of time is because it is nine paralympic golds for her. we are so accustomed to her winning gold medals that we take for granted. you look the numbers again and it is the same, it is breathtaking. if we add that to hannah cockroft, it might be she is into the 21st, 22nd century she is into the 21st, 22nd century she has to keep going! as roger said, it all wrapped up today. 1a more golds up for grabs before the closing ceremony tonight. there is still time to great britain to add to the overall tally.

120 medals with hannah cockroft among those to contribute to their 47 golds so far. joe lynskey reports on the penultimate day in paris. in the summer of sport, this is the home straight. today sees the last action of these paris games, and for paralympics gb, the ending has been emphatic. here she comes — the ending has been emphatic. here she comes. the _ the ending has been emphatic. hes: she comes. the golden the ending has been emphatic. h99: she comes. the golden goal. the ending has been emphatic. here she comes. the golden goal. she i she comes. the golden goal. she formed a gap _ she comes. the golden goal. she formed a gap from that. london 2012 was her introduction. paris was her show. eight seconds clear, nine rings of the bell. the british wheelchair basketball, the breakthrough was to eer. the first gold medal match since atalanta 96, but it brought the usa. champions in tokyo and rio and still hard to keep up tokyo and rio and still hard to keep up with. gb closed the gap but couldn't stop, three in a row. i couldn't stop, three in a row. i have got the gold medal!

sides through these games are intensity and support. in heartbreak, alpha hewitt was there to help him up. lee carsley led england to victory in his first game in interim charge against the team he represented as a player. his reign started with a 2—0 nations league win over the republic of ireland in dublin with the goals also provided by those with links to the opposition. before kick—off, though, there was a moment of confusion as carsley found his way to the wrong dugout, and after he was quickly shown the right one, on the pitch, two former irish youth internationals were key. declan rice and thenjack grealish after a pass by rice that ended an impressive move, giving england and carsley a win. today would probably one of the proudest days my career and to lead the england team in dublin, couldn't have written it but i don't feel hard done by or agree. they both understand it could have been hostile at the time. i thought the fans were really respectful and they could have handled the

atmosphere is the whole team. grade they scored the goals but more importantly the team has won and they kept a clean sheet. the final of the us open men's singles could deliver an american champion for the first time in over 20 years later with taylor fritz playing world number one jannik sinner, while the women's tournament in new york couldn't deliver a second—straight home winner. aryna sabalenka beat america'sjessica pegula in the final. the two—time australian open champion has added a first us open title, her first grand slam title since the death of her former boyfriend in march and a difficult time in the majors since. sabalenka's win in straight sets also comes a year after she lost the 2023 final to coco gauff and five since her dad passed away. after i lost my father, it's always been my goal to put ourfamily name in the tree of dennis, i had ihada i had a lot of tough losses in the past. i was always hoping one day i would be able to hold this beautiful trophy, it has been always my dream that smites very special no matter what every time i was coming back

stronger and i was learning and never gave up on the dream. 2a hours after the last british player went out in the main singles draws, some success nevertheless for britain in new york. mika stojsavljevic won the girl's singles to become a junior grand slam champion. the 15—year—old beat japan's wakana sonobe in straight sets to become the first british winner of the us open girls�* tournament since heather watson in 2009, saying afterwards she wanted to celebrate with a trip to the top of the rockefeller center. the second test between england and sri lanka has been characterised by bad light and some bad decisions by the home side. england will start day 3 at the oval looking to take back control. captain ollie pope made 154 in theirfirst innings, but none of his team—mates who batted yesterday got more than 20, england collapsing to 325 all out. sri lanka began their chase slowly as debutantjosh hull took his first test match wicket, but after olly stone put sri lanka five down, they rallied to end the day 114 behind.

meanwhile, england all—rounder moeen ali has announced his retirement from international cricket. the 37—year—old had already stopped playing in tests, but after being overlooked for the upcoming white ball series against australia later this month, says, "i've done my part" and it's time for the next generation. in rugby union, england's women notched up a 14th—straight victory over france, a convincing 38—19 win in gloucester. jess breach scored her two tries either side of half—time as the red roses prepared for a match against world champions new zealand at twickenham next weekend. they're then off to canada for the second year of the wxv1 tournament, which england will start as the defending champions. warrington wolves beat st helens by 16 points to 2 with the race for the top two positions in superleague hotting up. the wolves ran in two tries in the first half with jordan crowther helping his side to a 12—2 lead at the break. josh thewlis added two penalties in the second half as warrington moved to within 2 points

of second placed hull kr. the top two in the table secure home semifinals in the play—offs. we started by talking about hannah cockroft, we will hear from her in the next hour. after your six week olympic and paralympic odyssey how do you fancy getting involved in your own physical endeavour? i do you fancy getting involved in your own physical endeavour? i would imaaine in your own physical endeavour? i would imagine in any — your own physical endeavour? i would imagine in any context _ your own physical endeavour? i would imagine in any context in _ your own physical endeavour? i would imagine in any context in any - imagine in any context in any circumstance that would be a terrible idea.— circumstance that would be a terrible idea. :, , :, , terrible idea. you will be asking us to climb up — terrible idea. you will be asking us to climb up the _ terrible idea. you will be asking us to climb up the stairs _ terrible idea. you will be asking us to climb up the stairs to _ terrible idea. you will be asking us to climb up the stairs to get - terrible idea. you will be asking us to climb up the stairs to get a - to climb up the stairs to get a subtype of tea. we will be talking about the great north run. still wouldn't do that. more than 60,000 people will be taking on the great north run this morning. organisers say it's the world's "biggest and best" half marathon, winding its way from newcastle to south shields. alison freeman is at the start line.

thunderstorms across seven —— central and southern england. it will be slow moving through the day. we have seen rain and thunderstorms over recent hours, it woke up a few people in the early hours across london, centraland people in the early hours across london, central and southern england. rain pushing and across northern england as well. it will be slow moving across the southeast. we won't all see them but there will be localised flooding. particular heavy rain around the southeast coast. northern ireland and scotland, more cloud but looking mostly dry. best of the sunshine in the west where we see 22 or 23, but for most of us, hire tweens or low 20s. we have missed, fog and drizzle around this morning. on and off rain through the day. not too bad for the runners, 15 degrees or so and a reasonably light wind from the north. this evening we still have this band of cloud and

patchy rain for a time, northern england, eastern scotland, moving to the east. clear skies working in from the west. a cooler night especially for scotland, but in the south, 13 or iii degrees. reasonably mild, no frost tomorrow. cloud and outbreaks of patchy rain for eastern counties in england, clear skies moving in from the west ahead of an expanded wet and windy weather and into the far north—west later on monday. iii to 18 degrees are top temperatures. not as warm as it has been of late, and the cool air moves in behind area of low pressure. into tuesday, looking quite wet and for scotland, northern ireland and this band of cloud and rain crosses across england and wales, writer skies moving in behind with blustery showers and some of the showers could be a bit wintry over the highest land of scotland. wind happy to be 30 or a0 miles an hour, a

blustery day on tuesday wherever you are. temperatures coming down in the north, but we stood get 18 or 19 towards the southeast on tuesday. further ahead into the middle of the week that is where the cold air mass starts to plunge in from the north—west, so waving goodbye to the warmth and humidity that has been with us the past few days. quite warm for some of us today but temperatures will drop away as we head through next week and the return to sunshine and showers and autumn has finally arrived. lentil]! return to sunshine and showers and autumn has finally arrived.- autumn has finally arrived. will the winds blow the _ autumn has finally arrived. will the winds blow the leaves _ autumn has finally arrived. will the winds blow the leaves off _ autumn has finally arrived. will the winds blow the leaves off extra i winds blow the leaves off extra quickly? thank you very much. we'll be back with the headlines at 8:00. time now for the latest technology news on this week's edition of click.

there are millions of heavy goods trucks driving on roads all over the world. but why are so few of them running on electricity? to find out, we are near sweden's capital, home to one of europe's biggest truck manufacturers. they are on the long road to changing an industry that's having a big impact on our planet. the biggest and largest change our industry has over a hundred years. when we went from horses to vehicles actually. now trundling off the end of their production line is an increasing number of electric trucks.

and scania eventually wants that to be every vehicle they make. switching to electric vehicle production hasn't been easy. one of the biggest challenges is the weight of the batteries. they had to reinforce the concrete and bring in new equipment to be able to lift them, and that meant closing down the production line for three months. there are several thousand new components in the electric vehicles, and they are also, what was very important during this time, was reskilling of all our fantastic workforce, so they could be able also to work on electric vehicles, just as they do for internal combustion engines. unlike for cars, this move to electric trucking is going at a very slow pace. so what motivates a company to make such a big gearshift? hi. how are you doing? welcome on board. nice to meet you. i am hitching a lift with the man with the keys

to this organisation. this company have been part of the problem for 130 years almost, a very long time producing those trucks that were emitting the emissions that were not good for the planet. is there guilt behind the change? yeah, i think there is guilt, there is the notion that we want to be able to see our kids and grandchildren in the eyes and be able to say we knew it and we chose to do something about it. instead ofjust trying to continue to optimise profits and do the things that companies do. and there is also a notion of coming early to the insight that this is the future competitiveness. if you are lost into this journey, you will have a problem to compete because at some point everyone will understand, and that has been really important because you have to have that as a company, when you are to convince your supervisory board, your owners and everyone around you in the ecosystem that

you need to walk down this path. not only did scania stop output for several months, they also built this battery factory right next to where the trucks are assembled. we are in one of the most high—tech parts of this site where lots of robots are assembling the batteries that will end up in the trucks. it's quite mesmerising to watch. these batteries weigh an incredible a,000kg. that presents lots of challenges for those driving them. there are still lots of questions, though, about using battery electric. is it powerful enough to move these heavy trucks? is there the charging infrastructure to allow them to go where they need to go, and at three times the cost of a normal truck, are they a sound investment that companies will get their money back on? and part of the debate has also been about other ways to power trucks,

with some in the industry suggesting hydrogen fuel cells are the best solution for green trucking. battery electric is the most cost efficient, so, therefore, we believe in this, and also it is possible to build infrastructure and everything around it. so, what do you think? shall we go for a ride? i think we should, let's do it. it is completely silent. and it's strong — the torque is amazing. you must still have a hard job, though, convincing drivers to make the switch. sure, there is a lot of scepticism. i am travelling a lot in myjob and i was also in finland a couple of weeks ago, which i would have expected to be market ready to transition quickly. but huge scepticism. will this really work? can it stand the temperatures of northern finland, you know, the home of... ..of santa claus, really cold, really tough drives, really high vehicle weights,

and i understand that. we need to take that on, with facts, and then the best way to convince customers as always, when something is new, and this is a very traditional industry, so we are used to that, but when there is something new, let them test. by 2030, scania wants half of the trucks they sell to be electric, and fully battery operated by 2050, but that is still a long way off. i certainly think this journey could be much accelerated if the legislature would be more active in supporting the change. this is our biggest challenge now. the vehicle is here. i mean, what we sit in now is a ao—tonner, it's european long haulage, but we are also supplying 60, ga, 74 and 80—tonners. we have spent a lot of time in brussels, in stockholm

and berlin to try and convince politicians that this is a good thing, you know, this is not just for the environment, it's also a great driver environment. the road to green trucking is slow. there's still a lot of work to do for manufacturers across the industry trying to convince buyers to make the switch. ok, whose stupid idea was it to film parts of this report with my feet in the waters of lake zurich? oh, god! twice? i've just been told where the water in this lake comes from. if you leave them in there long enough, they become numb and you don't feel it anymore. now, the person making a whole lot less fuss than me here isjulia, one of the team representing the star of the show — this underwater drone.

we started off in the search—and—rescue space. so, we're search and rescue and then also ammunition detection and retrieval. so we mainly started for the swiss police departments and the swiss military. hence we created something that would work well in swiss waters, in particular, rivers. so that's why our robot is built in a way that it can withstand strong currents. yes, just as aerial drones can hold their position in strong winds, this one can stay very still, even when the water around it is rushing past at three knots. and today, i get to see the latest upgrade to its low—drag shell and ai—powered control software, that adjusts its motors to counter turbulence. it's the newest version of this drone. it's pretty nippy, can travel at about four knots,

and it has onboard cameras, but because the water is often far too murky to see what you're doing, it also has sonar, which it uses to build up a 3—d point cloud of the area. some of the applications this is being pitched at include mapping and today, underwater toe inspection. how are they looking? blue? actually, are they still there? i can't feel them. oh, god! groans time to take it for a dive. and for me to avoid hypothermia. take me on an adventure. show me the sites. as is common in robotics these days, andre is using a standard, familiar and, importantly, tried, tested and reliable games controller to steer the drone. what is this — a little fishing boat? it is a small fishing boat, nothing crazy. it goes pretty fast. it is not that slow. i can't keep up and i was

swimming seven years of my life, nearly professionally. i cannot keep up with this. it can dive to 300 metres and it sends live pictures and receives steering commands through a 1.5—kilometre long cable. it can operate without the cable, driving autonomously and avoiding obstacles and mapping its own area, which is no mean feat. given that unlike airborne drones, it cannot see gps satellites from underwater. our drone is able to map and localise at the same time. when the drone sees a new field, it has never seen before, it can generate a map and when the robot returns to that position, it can recognise that it has been there and brings all the information together. a bit like a vacuum cleaner robot. exactly. it's more or less the same thing but just underwater. yeah, ok.

this ability to map an area, to see in poor visibility by using sonar as well as normal cameras plus the option to fit various grippers and tools will allow the company to target industries operating in tricky environments. i t may inspect oil and gas pipelines, communication cables, maybe even the hulls of ships. all areas that are hazardous even to the most highly skilled human divers. i love the fish. this is another example of what happens when students meet and study at university, in this case, eth in zurich, and then decide to work together to take their research further. who knows what discoveries await this little robot? there's a chair! laughter i often see the occasional wild shopping trolley in a lake,

but i rarely see a chair. now, where did i leave my shoes? that is it from us from zurich, which is looking beautiful today. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: hundreds of thousands of children

are waiting up to a year for hospital treatment. the prime minister says the current state of the nhs is unforgivable. the first tuc conference under a labour government for more than a decade begins in brighton later today. good morning from newcastle where in just a few hours tens of thousands of people are going to be lining up your waiting to hear the start bell so they can take part in the a3rd great north run. in sport: it's the final day of the paris paralympics with britain hoping to add to their golden tally hannah cockcroft has taken her career total to nine with her second of these games in the 800 metres. we'll be speaking to her shortly. it isa it is a cooler day for all of us. some mist, fog and cloud in the night. some sunny spells and thunderstorms in the south. i will have more details later. it's sunday the 8th of september. our main story: a damning report on the state

of the nhs in england due later this week will highlight severe problems for children and young people getting access to care. the prime minister sir keir starmer blamed previous governments for leaving the nhs broken, but the conservatives accused him of chasing headlines and said they left the health service with more doctors, more nurses and more funding in real terms. our health editor hugh pym has the story. within hours of forming the new government, ministers were saying the nhs was broken and the problems could not be fixed overnight. the medical expert lord darzi was asked to carry out a rapid review of the state of the nhs in england. a diagnosis, as one source put it, highlighting which areas needed fixing. his full report is due out later in the week. now the first findings have been released, including that more than 100,000 infants have waited more than six hours in a&e departments last year. 800,000 children and young people are on waiting lists for hospital treatment, with 175,000 waiting

between six and 12 months. and 160,000 waiting more than a year for mental health support. lord darzi there was a relatively bigger reduction in routine nhs operations in the pandemic than other health systems. the prime minister putting the blame on the conservative government. he has been really clear the nhs is broken but not beaten. the reason he identifies is because of the money taken out of the nhs, especially in the early years of the coalition, 2010 onwards, the lansley reforms which were hopelessly misconceived, spent a lot of money and had to be then reversed. and then covid on top of all that which has put us in this awful position for the nhs. a separate report warns that plans by the labour government to increase nhs treatment will only make a small contribution to hitting the waiting time target. labour promised in its first year

to deliver a0,000 more operations and appointments each week, but the nhs confederation representing employers says a lot will be needed to hit the 18—week target for people to be seen or start treatment. their analysis shows that the combination of the size of waiting lists, 7.5 million people, and the growth in demand means that what the secretary of state has announced will only go a very small way to meeting his target. we're going to have to do a whole lot of other things as well. the conservatives said after time in opposition to think about the issues, labour's instinct was to politicise children's health, rather than provide solutions and reform of the nhs. hugh pym, bbc news. our prime minister will be speaking to us at 9:00am. that full report comes out on thursday. let's catch up comes out on thursday. let's catch up with the rest of the morning's

news. the conference beginning today? taste news. the conference beginning toda ? ~ : news. the conference beginning toda ? ~ , . :, the trades union congress is meeting in brighton for the start of its annual conference. the first one to take place under a labour government for nearly 15 years. the tuc represents a8 unions, with 5.5 million members. we're joined now by our political correspondent georgia roberts. georgia, what can we expect? isa is a really important relationship between the three. what are the issues? de between the three. what are the issues? , : , :, , issues? de tuc includes most unionised _ issues? de tuc includes most unionised workers _ issues? de tuc includes most unionised workers in - issues? de tuc includes most unionised workers in england | issues? de tuc includes most i unionised workers in england and wales and for the first time it is sympathetic to their goals. but labour these days are also considering themselves the party of business and notjust workers. unions will want to see how that squares with their demands and worker's rights. we will hear a lot about workers' rights. there is a lot that the unions could get behind in terms of what they have seen from

labour so far, scrapping in terms of what they have seen from labourso far, scrapping minimum service laws, strike days. also reaching settlements and long running... . there is concern that there plans for green energy could putjobs there plans for green energy could put jobs at there plans for green energy could putjobs at risk. one union chief this morning is also calling for more taxes on the wealthy to sort out the finances as opposed to taking away pensioners fuel payment which is something that some unions have been vocally critical about and several labour mps. so when keir starmer addresses the tuc next week the audience will be happy to see a labour prime minister in place but also more than ready to argue for their demands.— as georgia mentioned, the prime minister's decision to withdraw the winter fuel allowance from all but the poorest pensioners has been condemned by some,

but sir keir starmer has defended it. mps will vote on the plan on tuesday, with some labour mps planning to rebel, but sir keir starmer said the party is willing to make tough choices to help the country. i am absolutely convinced that we will only deliver that change, i'm absolutely determined we will, if we do the difficult things now. i know they're unpopular. i know they're difficult. of course they're tough choices. a note there, you said, you know it's unpopular. are you willing to be unpopular? we're going to have to be unpopular. popular decisions aren't tough, they're easy. when we talk about tough decisions, i'm talking about tough decisions. the things that last government ran away from, that governments traditionally run away from. i'm convinced that because they've run away from difficult decisions, we haven't got the change we need for the country. we will be talking to a labour party member who has voiced her opposition in the next ten minutes. authorities in kenya are investigating the cause of a fire at a girls�* boarding

school, which came just two days after 21 boys died in a blaze at a different school. the fire was reported at isiolo girls' high school in central kenya at around 8pm local time. it was just 90 miles from the hillside endarasha academy, where the boys died in a dormitory. the former first minister of wales, vaughan gething, has said he will not be seeking re—election to the welsh parliament in 2026. mr gething resigned earlier this year after facing repeated questions about a number of issues, including a campaign donation from a businessman convicted of environmental offences. he denies any wrongdoing. police in the us state of kentucky are hunting a gunman who fired on vehicles as they drove along a highway near the town of london. several people were injured, some by gunshots and some in the resulting traffic chaos, but nobody is reported to have died. the king will attend a church service near balmoral this morning, on the second anniversary of the death of his mother, queen elizabeth ii. charles will head to

crathie kirk for private prayer and reflection. the late queen, who worshipped at the same church, was staying at her highland estate when she died, aged 96, two years ago. britain's jack draper has been reflecting on his gruelling match in the us open semi—finals. he lost in straight sets to the world number one, italy's yannick sinner, putting in so much effort that he vomited on court three times. he's been talking to our sports news correspondent, laura scott. it's been a big breakthrough in the big apple forjack draper. having had some time to reflect after his semifinal defeat... yeah, i've had a bit of time to rest... he told me he woke up determined to push himself further. i wanted to give more, but it was tough in that situation last night. but overall from last few weeks, i've taken a lot of confidence, learning. it seems like mount everest to climb when you are going through all the lower levels and travelling, all this type of stuff. when i got injured last year for a while i took a look at myself and began to just really lock

in on everything i needed to do, whether off court, on court and since then my consistency�*s been great. so i think having the injuries i had, and having the time i had away from the court really helped me to gain perspective and realise that if i put the work in and work hard, good things can happen quickly. it's been a good example that hard work does play off. facing the world number one, italy's jannik sinner, in the most important match of his life, draper found it hard to keep things calm and down. he vomited three times. how keen are you to focus on addressing that? i'm definitely going to go home, this has happened a few times now in different situations for me. i'm going to really look into it. i push my body to the limit all the time in training and in my mindset. i don't have to worry about not doing enough because i am. which points to the fact a lot of the issues i have are mental. i have to work on that

and understand it and make myself better understood in order to compete at these highest levels. this season has bought his first atp tour title — a victory over wimbledon to champion carlos alcaraz, the british number one mantle and now, this run in new york which will see him climb into the world's top 20. his progress has led to many comparisons with his idol, andy murray. obviously, there's a lot of narrative around me being the next andy murray, the next whatever. i just want to be jack draper. i want to achieve what i can achieve. my number one goal is to reach my potential as a player, whatever that looks like. after a fortnight that has both energised and exhausted him, draperflies home, believing his career is onlyjust taking off. laura scott, bbc news, new york. that will not be the last we see him. b. that will not be the last we see him. . : : that will not be the last we see him. . : , :, , , him. a nice bit of news this morning- — the former sub—postmaster who led a campaign forjustice over

the faulty horizon it scandal has got married on sir richard branson's private island. sir alan bates tied the knot with his long—term partner suzanne on necker island last month. they were invited after sir alan dropped a very public hint to sir richard in a sunday times interview, saying he'd love a holiday. the ceremony was a surprise for suzanne so she didn't bring a wedding dress. instead the happy couple went for a more relaxed, holiday chic look. they look absolutely gorgeous and very happy. here's sarah with the weather. good morning, everyone. a mixed picture out there once again. we have some contrast. quite some of us have some contrast. quite some of us have some contrast. quite some of us have some cloud and heavy showers. this is in northamptonshire at the moment. a mixed day which is cooler and cloudier than in the recent days especially in scotland and northern

ireland where we have had record breaking highs. all down to this area of low pressure which has been drifting northwards overnight. showers and thunderstorms but this low pressure is slow—moving so we have had the rain pushing across parts of wales and south—west england. we have had thunderstorms for central and eastern areas. continuing to push north but we have three zones of weather. in northern england and wales you will keep the cloud and patchy rain today. central, southern and eastern england, sunshine and showers, heaviest in the far south—east. the north is mostly dry but more cloud. still 22 or 23 degrees in central and western scotland and we are looking at the high teens and low 20s today generally. the great north run gets on shortly. there could be some heavy burst of rain and i think it is going to be an enough patchy through the day. around 15 degrees

temperatures are not so bad for the runners but some of the spectators will need an umbrella. clear skies working into the north at night and a fresher night, especially for scotland. around 13 or 1a degrees overnight in the south. monday will hold onto the cloud and a few drizzly showers. in the east, but elsewhere it is clearing up. temperatures coming down compared to certain the recent days. further south it's still 17, 18 degrees or so. is going to become unsettled through the week. the low pressure will move from the north—west and overnight it will be a wet and windy speu overnight it will be a wet and windy speuin overnight it will be a wet and windy spell in the north—west of the uk. cloud is pushing across england and wales and blustery showers which

could have a bit of a wintry flavour. these are the gusts of wind we are likely to see, around 13 mph. so it will feel cooler, 11 to 18 degrees. in the middle of the week, things turned cooler still because you can see that cold air mass from the north. you can see a job in temperatures for all of us. sunshine and showers, the book for scotland and showers, the book for scotland and northern ireland where we have seen sunshine over recent days. thank you very much, sarah. we've heard this morning that the prime minister is standing by his decision to withdraw the winter fuel allowance from all but the poorest pensioners, as mps prepare to vote on the measure on tuesday. in a moment we'll speak to one labour mp who is planning to

abstain in that vote. but first let's hear how people in hull feel about it. i think it's awful. it's terrible. it does affect me. ilose mine. but at the end of the day, get to my age, i you worked all your life and paid everything towards it. _ it's not fair. well, i've lost my winter fuel payment and i live on my own, so it's quite a bit. i'm a bit worried. i mean, i didn't have it on a lot before. i mean, i'm always cold in winter, but now, i mean, you just pay and that's it. you've just got to pay up and there's nothing more you can do. you've got a seven. do you want to change that? a nine. i don't mind them taking it off the rich people, but i think they've gone a bit too far and they could have cut it in half or something like that and then spread it about. i'm very disappointed in this government for doing it. i thought it was supposed to be on our side, but it doesn't appear as though they are.

i mean, some poor souls sat there with blankets and coats and, i mean, all their lives have paid into the system. they've shot themselves in the foot. i am a socialist, but a new. i am a socialist, but a new government waiting so long to take power again. to take power again. there should have been some there should have been some little treats for people. - little treats for people. - i think that money will i think that money will be used better, say, be used better, say, for the national health. for the national health. there's too many people there's too many people who don't need it. who don't need it. and it's quite easyjust to go and it's quite easyjust to go online and say, i don't want it, online and say, i don't want it, but they don't do that. but they don't do that. i think it's a disgrace. i think it's a disgrace. i'm 94, so i mean, how do i'm 94, so i mean, how do you keep warm in that? you keep warm in that? but i've got a lovely but i've got a lovely family and i don't spend family and i don't spend what i can't afford. what i can't afford.

in pembrokeshire, the number of holiday homes being put up for sale has trebled, but not everyone is happy, as our reporter dan heard found out. newport. it's a town with beautiful beaches that attracts thousands of people every summer. but here, as in many places across the county, locals find it difficult to afford a house. some here have been campaigning to try and reform the housing market. pembrokeshire council introduced a 200% council tax premium on second home owners in april, which tripled bills. that's an amount on top of the normal tax to try and tackle the housing crisis here, but it is possible to avoid paying the premium for up to a year when putting the house on the market, according to new figures from the authority. lastjuly, there were 38 second homes for sale in the county. this year, though, that figure has more than tripled to 135 for estate agents here. the impact of the premium,

they say, is significant. i think it's had a huge impact, especially in areas like solvers and david's newport, we are seeing properties come on the market. it's at such a volume that we've never seen, i've never seen in 30 years. so it's having a huge impact. pembrokeshire isn't alone in introducing such measures, with councils in gwynedd and on anglesey doing the same. forsome, though, raising the premium isn't the answer, with one councillor claiming that funds may actually be lost. i've estimated around £600,000 to £800,000 now is lost in council tax revenue for this year alone, and that's adding on to the 30 million we've got to have to find this year, as well. so you're talking closing libraries, closing day centres. the issue of second homes can be a controversial, emotional and complex topic. for those who want

to see less of them, seeing more in the market is a sign that measures are starting to work. it's notjust wales where these kind of issues are causing tensions. major anti—tourism protests took place in several places this summer, including mallorca, but it didn't seem to deter vistors. recent data shows that 800 more flights landed on the spanish island injuly compared to the same moth last year. joining us now is the travel journalist simon calder and founder of campaign group first not second homes, catherine hayes. you are inquiring well. just explain theissue you are inquiring well. just explain the issue for you where you are and how much of a problem it is. to the issue for you where you are and how much of a problem it is.- how much of a problem it is. to put it into context, _ how much of a problem it is. to put it into context, we _ how much of a problem it is. to put it into context, we are _ how much of a problem it is. to put it into context, we are talking i it into context, we are talking about — it into context, we are talking about second homes where nationally the figure _ about second homes where nationally the figure is about 35,000 homes. they have — the figure is about 35,000 homes. they have gone into hand let use since _ they have gone into hand let use since 2019: — they have gone into hand let use since 2019. that is the national

fire tragedy a few days ago and also what does keir starmer think about his chances with the general public when he told me this morning the government will have to be unpopular. don't politicians always want us to like them? not this one, he is preparing the public for difficult months ahead. don't miss that big interview. he has already employed his way of

employing his method of football which is known as carsball but we have never had one for gareth southgate. it also includes putting out his own cones before the game so it is very much a coach rather than a manager. england interim manager lee carsley made a winning start as goals from declan rice and jack grealish against the country they used to represent were enough to earn a 2—0 win against ireland in dublin in the nations league. nesta mcgregor reports. a win to usher in a new era. lee carsley triumphant in his first game as interim england manager. the only minor blip was sitting in the dugout of the country he used to play for. a fiery atmosphere was only made more so when the first two goals of the match were scored

by players who used to wear the green of ireland. so, understandably, declan rice's celebrations were muted. but booed by the crowd when on the ball and subjected to some tough tackles, jack grealish relished his moment. after the break, many other stadium input ireland pulled one back. this shot was just wide. england among the changes, including senior debuts for morgan gibbs white and angel gomez, but 2—0 is how the game finished. although, as well as the result, fans were keen to discuss lee carsley�*s decision not to sing the national anthem. all the other players seem to sing it, so you should set the precedent, shouldn't you? i think it's important, i think you should sing it. my opinion is he didn't sing the national anthem in any of the other under—21 games, so just because it's the full team, does it really matter? obviously, he played for ireland,

so there's a bone of contention, which i think a lot of people spoke about with the appointment anyway, but does it bother me? the results bother me more. i think people really need to concentrate on his ability as a manager rather than something as petty as whether he sung the national anthem or not. i was a little bit nervous, but i think because he's done so well at youth level with us, he knows the players, he knows them inside out, and ijust think it was always going to happen, that we were going to perform today. as well as the win, the interim manager's to—do list perhaps had put a smile on the faces of fans and cause his bosses at the fa a selection headache. well, part one of the objective is probably complete. nesta mcgregor, bbc news, in dublin. scotland's preparations for their nations league match tonight in portugal have proved to be a little turbulent. their flight was delayed and then after eventually arriving they had a two—hour bus journey to lisbon, leading manager steve clarke to admit he'll be having a word with the powers that be about their travel arrangements ahead of a match itself that'll provide plenty of problems

i think when you play football, you want to play against the best teams and the best players. you want to challenge yourself and i know it'll be a challenge. so we have to step up. i've got to be honest, i think defensively we actually played well the other night. if you take out the individual errors, but that's something that you have to work on and these players have to find a way to concentrate for the whole game and not make that kind of mistake. britain's stephen williams is the overall leader going into the final stage of the tour of britain, which gets under way in a couple of hours' time. frenchman paul magnier was first across the line in northampton to claim his third stage victory, but british riders hold the top three overall placings. williams has a i6—second lead over oscar onley, with mark donovan a0 seconds off the pace. and it's the final day of the 2024 paralympics in paris with ia more gold medals up for grabs before the closing ceremony this evening. paralympicsgb have named taekwondo gold medallist matt bush and 100m butterfly paralympic champion poppy maskill as their flagbearers for that ceremony.

as we look ahead to the next games, in four years. here's our disabilty correspondent nikki fox. delighted fans. very exciting, it's wonderful. a huge turnout. it is amazing. paris has been so hospitable. very grandiose. it is fair to say these games have delivered. it's nice to see them supporting us with such a big crowd, with the competition coming to an end, i met up with paralympic greats, tanni grey thompson and richard whitehead they have both had a hectic few weeks commentating on all the action. so how do they think paris has done? working here has been phenomenal but hasn't been so easy for disabled spectators.

the metro isn't great, the buses are good but once you get to the venue with the overlay of the olympic security it has been quite hard. what are you seeing? a lot of steps, awful, platform lifts that tilt back, you are sitting and you hated. instead climbs. they're unreliable and you rely upon volunteers. inaccessible viewing platforms. the challenge of sitting with friends and family. access is not the only nut to crack. it's about visibility. sport is for everybody and it shouldn'tjust be the paralympics and once every four years. unfortunately it is. we have this buzz and it will last for four or five weeks and all of us back into training for the next cycle. where do you think the paralympic movement is at now? the games themselves will be seen as hugely successful whether it is in terms of medals, performances, number of tickets

sold. but the paralympic games is a pivotal moment, they have is some big questions to answer, future of the sport, classification, events, and what happens in between games. richard thinks there needs to be a greater focus on grassroots sports. yes, we will see those gold—medal moments but will they filter down to the next generation of young people that want to take their place? they might not even have opportunities to do so. so i would say it's at a crossroads. in four years' time the games will be in the united states, home to the gold medal winning archer. he has boosted the popularity of the paralympic movement. you are starting to see performances by these athletes that rivalled the able—bodied, it is important for the world to see and acknowledge, they are doing that with a disability? that is almost superhuman! like...

that is what will grow everything. nicola! ——nicholas! but for disabled people who live in france a successful paralympics is about creating a lasting legacy. when i met nicholas a few months ago he told me he hoped these games would bring change. overall, nicholas how do you think the games has gone? overall a great success. everyone speaking to each other and looking after each other. the community and friendship. what we are playing for is the sense of the olympics and paralympics. does not stop on eighth september but will carry through after. nikki fox, bbc news.

one of the gb athletes who is cementing her place in paralympic history is wheelchair racer hannah cockroft. whether any issues raised there? i think there are really valid points and as an athlete i haven't really had the spectator experience, i have run up in the stands to watch my fancy race and had the usual experience of me so that was good fun and it is little things like that but i think that paris have a fantastic opportunity to make change for disabled people. we sell it in london and paris needs to run the fat but i think for a grassroots sport we have to hope and pray people —— mike paris needs to run with that. and i think we have to

hope and pray it continues. and hopefully we have to inspire as many people as possible for me. it's been amazing in these games notjust to race against my team—mate to watch me in 2012 a know it at also i knew a girl from the usa who said that she watched me when she was six and she watched me when she was six and she wanted to do it. you she watched me when she was six and she wanted to do it.— she wanted to do it. you only have one medal— she wanted to do it. you only have one medal round _ she wanted to do it. you only have one medal round your _ she wanted to do it. you only have one medal round your neck. - she wanted to do it. you only have one medal round your neck. havel she wanted to do it. you only have i one medal round your neck. have you received the second one ijust brought one out this morning? i received the second one ijust brought one out this morning? i have not the brought one out this morning? i have got the second _ brought one out this morning? i have got the second one _ brought one out this morning? i have got the second one somewhere - brought one out this morning? i we got the second one somewhere but i don't know where it's gone. that's a worry. don't know where it's gone. that's a wor . ., . don't know where it's gone. that's a wor. ., . a, worry. you have so many don't know where they — worry. you have so many don't know where they all _ worry. you have so many don't know where they all are. _ worry. you have so many don't know where they all are. it _ worry. you have so many don't know where they all are. it is _ where they all are. it is interesting to see you talk about

losing medals because there are the hugely important paralympic figures. the standard—bearer father british paralympic movement. featuring paralympic movement. featuring paralympic athletes and following them in the four years between the games, how important is it we latch onto them even if it means sometimes we don't follow everybody because thatis we don't follow everybody because that is the entry point into the paralympics? i that is the entry point into the paralympics?— that is the entry point into the paral mics? ,, . ., paralympics? i think at the moment it is literally — paralympics? i think at the moment it is literally about _ paralympics? i think at the moment it is literally about keeping - it is literally about keeping paralympian is in the news and keeping their accomplishments spoken about. i think there is still this misconception that he pop out every four years and have a little competition and go and hide away again but we have world championships and european championships and european championships and european championships and everything in between to qualify for those every single year so there is always something we are trying to perform up something we are trying to perform up and fight for. although the paralympic games is a pinnacle of my

performances here have not been world record breaking been my best and the result was so much talk around ticket prices for sports. i compete all around the uk mostly every summer, mostly for free and mostly in front of no one and it is just that easy to access paralympic sports and if there is someone you enjoy watching, we will always be shouting about where we are competing next and what we will be doing and just need to keep our is in people 's minds in those four years so hopefully we can grow a bigger following and years so hopefully we can grow a biggerfollowing and reach years so hopefully we can grow a bigger following and reach as years so hopefully we can grow a biggerfollowing and reach as many people as possible. plat bigger following and reach as many people as possible.— people as possible. not a lot of us would know _ people as possible. not a lot of us would know that _ people as possible. not a lot of us would know that we _ people as possible. not a lot of us would know that we can _ people as possible. not a lot of us would know that we can go - people as possible. not a lot of us would know that we can go to - people as possible. not a lot of us| would know that we can go to loads of live events. you says this has not been your best performance in paris but last night we were watching you leading from the gun and won by nearly eight seconds. carrie got out really quickly from the gun try to put my foot down and i watch the race back and thought my

organisers say it's the world's biggest and best half marathon, winding its way from newcastle to south shields. alison freeman is at the start line. if you look back in the distance it is beginning to fill up and a few people at the start of the route in central newcastle and it travels all the way across the central motorway over the tyne bridge south shields. the wheelchair race kicks off at 25 past ten and a variety of other races go up after that and at five to 11 races go up after that and at five to ii the elite men's and all the thousands of people raising money for charity start. the charity side of it is really important. we have spoken to one local family who have taken part quite a few times for this year will be a little different for them.

when she passed everything stops. nobody can prepare you for the feeling of losing a child. it wasn't something that we expected. it was just out of the blue. she caught a chest infection and there was severe complications. she was a true little fighter, and sadly, she wasn't able to fight it this time. nicole rich wasjust ii when she died. she had an extremely rare condition called batten disease, which affected things like her speech and mobility and meant she had seizures. but having been on a family holiday, her death in october last year came as a huge shock. we're just lost without her, really. we're just trying to... we just want her back. but we know that that's not possible. so we need to focus on remembering

the life that we gave her. when your child's got a life—limiting condition, there might be an expectation that you kind of have to prepare that at some point you're going to lose them. but we never visualised that because it was too painful to visualise. and now we've experienced it. and it'sjust it's harder than ever. it's the feeling of being like, lost because nicole took up a lot of our time and it was never, evera burden. we cherished every minute we spent with her. nicole's little sister, jessica, also has batten disease, but once it was discovered in nicole when she was aged four, jessica was screened too. meaning she could start treatment at a much younger age. when we first heard the word batten disease, we had never even heard of it because it is classed as ultra—rare. the difference in catching it early

is it's absolutely massive. when nicole was diagnosed, she couldn't walk by herself. she had trouble swallowing, but whenjessica was diagnosed at 15 months old, she was still a perfectly healthy little girl. she's going to be turning nine in a couple of weeks and she goes to school. she can ride a bike, a scooter. this treatment is keeping the symptoms at bay without a shadow of a doubt. if you metjessica, you would never know she had the condition. it's a very stark contrast. gail and matthew have campaigned hard for the drugs to be made available to tackle batten disease and have set up the nicole and jessica foundation to help families like them spot the signs early. matthew will be running his seventh great north run to raise funds for their foundation and the batten disease family association. it will be bittersweet as the race

has always been a family day out for them. i've lined on the tyne bridge with the children and we've been cheering on dad, daddy. and all the the other runners. nicole was there in her chair. she had our flag, and everyone used tojust run up and she would inspire others. even not our runners, we had lots of people stopping and just saying, i'm going to do this. and it'sjust the power that she had. she even had the great northland with thousands of people. she had people stopping and just sort of thanking her for inspiring them. you've done it many years, but this year will be particularly poignant for you. yeah, we've always got the girls in the forefront of my mind when i'm running, but i'm sure when i'm struggling at mile 11 and i'm thinking of nicole especially, it'll get us over that. she'll get you through it.

she will and she'll she's there with us and she'll be watching and cheering us on like she did every year. alison freeman, bbc news, newcastle. i'm joined by helen, this will be your? i'm joined by helen, this will be our? j~ ~ . . ., i'm joined by helen, this will be our? j~~ . . ., ~ ,, . your? 862nd marathon -- mike half marathon. your? 862nd marathon -- mike half marathon- i— your? 862nd marathon -- mike half marathon. i lost _ your? 862nd marathon -- mike half marathon. i lost my _ your? 862nd marathon -- mike half marathon. i lost my husband - your? 862nd marathon -- mike half marathon. i lost my husband just i marathon. i lost my husband just before covid and i am running from my goal of reaching iooo consecutive half marathons and am running for several charities including cancer uk. ., , several charities including cancer uk. what was your time be you think? around two hours. _ uk. what was your time be you think? around two hours. what _ uk. what was your time be you think? around two hours. what are _ uk. what was your time be you think? around two hours. what are you - around two hours. what are you runnina around two hours. what are you running for _ around two hours. what are you running for today, _ around two hours. what are you running for today, adam? - around two hours. what are you running for today, adam? to i around two hours. what are you l running for today, adam? to raise awareness — running for today, adam? to raise awareness for _ running for today, adam? to raise awareness for men's _ running for today, adam? to raise awareness for men's mental - running for today, adam? to raise i awareness for men's mental health.
