milton keynes, lots more miles to come. . ~ ,, y milton keynes, lots more miles to come. . ~ i. , .om us here at sports day. right now, the final of the t20 matches in their series, england have already won it but it is not going too well for them at the moment, new zealand currently 87 for steaks and bowling at the moment. england not doing too well. see you soon, take care. hello. the weather has started to change. it has started to turn warmer, and it will continue to do so over the next couple of days, turning very warm, even hot in some places, turning very humid as well. but that certainly doesn�*t mean it�*s always going to be sunny, and today, we certainly saw more clouds rolling in across parts of northern ireland. that was how it looked earlier on at newcastle in county down. this stripe of cloud here on the earlier satellite image, that�*s going to bring rain across parts of northern ireland and scotland overnight, but these various weather systems are mainly being steered away to the north at the moment, allowing this warm and humid air to work its way in. so through thi

we're heading 52 miles from milton keynes to bisham abbey, near reading.e due to hit 30 celsius. keeping on top of drinking is absolutely everything on a day like this. chris is due to visit more grassroots sports today to spread his sustainability message, and he's on a tight schedule, which means the peloton and our team needs to keep up the pace. ok, so we've got a bit of a confession to make about the bikes that dave the cameraman and i are using. we are using electric bikes for this cycle. um, there's a couple of reasons why we've decided to do this. mainly because we've got so much kit to carry with us so that we can be live from this cycle and bring you as much coverage as possible. but also we're trying to keep up with the former tour de france and olympic cyclists all the way to paris, and that is no mean feat. and often dave here has to try and get ahead of him to get all the shots that we need. when you're cycling at this speed, the wind rushes by and you don't feel the heat. it's a real danger to life. we know that, when we get to paris, it's l

we're travelling 71 miles from loughborough to milton milton keynes.t our legs going, the fun begins. should have gotten him in one of these skin—tight tops. 0h, mate, i've got my own! i packed my own. mike tindall, former england rugby star and now british royalty. he's married to the king's niece, zara phillips, and isjoining us on the ride. and he's not alone. former team—mate james haskell will be in the driving seat of a tandem. not everyone is confident they'll make it. i'll be surprised if they're not in the first hedge we come to, to be honest. their training has been extensive — they've done a good 50m together, i think, so they're totally prepared for this journey. having been someone who rides a bike way more thanjames- does, i'm a little bit nervousl that he's in control of brakes. but when he drives a car, we call him 'slowjames'. '0n the brakes james'. so, it will be steady away, i think. - yeah. they're less than two minutes behind us and we've been hammering it, so my ego is severely dented now because i'm not having an easy day and thi

and then when i was 15, running for my club, we'd moved from milton keynes to northampton.a 400 because the guy who was supposed to run the 400 didn't show up, and it was a club competition, and even if you finished eighth, you got one point for your club. and at the end of the day, the club with the most points won, and i ended up winning the race. i finished third in 100, third in the 200, won the 400, and i broke the county record and i had a sliding door moment, isn't it? >> it's like massively, massively. >> wow. yeah, yeah. >> wow. yeah, yeah. >> so sporting heroes, two of them. >> i've got three heroes in life . >> i've got three heroes in life. my >> i've got three heroes in life. my dad, god rest his soul, daley thompson and michael jordan. >> why? why daley thompson . >> why? why daley thompson. >> why? why daley thompson. >> daley thompson. what a man, had the privilege of training with him for. for a few, you know, for a few years, just his mental attitude. i learned. so much from that guy. it was untrue. i've never met a more competitive human being in my life

tomorrow, we're off to milton keynes. that is quite firm there. are we insured for this?r this journey. i've always wanted to go on a tandem with mike. you know, it was on my to do list. stare at your butt for 30km. people pay a lot of money to do that. oh, hello. we're nearly halfway through this cycle to paris, and today is an absolute scorcher. we know that when we get to paris, it's likely that the olympic athletes are going to face even higher temperatures than we've experienced, and we're just breaking records to the point that breaking records is stopping becoming news. we look at things like the water quality. that's obviously a big one for us as rowers. we can change, we can make a difference, but the action has to be now. you just come for the glory, really, aren't you? - that's it. just diving in. i'm coming in because you made me. you made me. how often do you get to cycle to an olympic games? so it's an amazing way to arrive in paris anyway. and we're spending some time with incredible people who are really passionate about issues that are so important to the

here's devi in milton keynes and joey waiting patiently in its mobile—throne in edinburgh.ion in cheshire. and one rather unique animal was spotted — this is neptune, a snake which was sssseen in dorset. and here's some footage of lola, a 12—year—old bengal cat who followed her owner, simone, out of the house to the local primary school to vote. simone said she was surprised lola followed them all the way into the polling station, where the clerks "laughed their heads off" and had to hold lola whilst simone cast her ballot. hello there. many of us have seen some decent spells ofjuly sunshine today. however, there have been lots of showers, particularly across the northern half of the uk and especially in western scotland where some of those downpours really quite heavy, gusty winds gusting into the 40s of miles an hour and those temperatures rubbish forjuly. glasgow saw temperatures around 1a degrees through the afternoon. the average of this time of the year is 19 degrees. and this coolish run of weather is going to continue through friday and into the weekend, beyond as w

that means chris bourbon beat us to the destination here at the national badminton centre in milton keynes for sanctuary became the priority. five years on from her forced relocation, dorsa will be part of the ioc�*s refugee olympic team. i dorsa yavarivafa, i'm from iran, and i am part of the refugee olympic team. i'm came to the uk four years ago. i came to the uk because of my mum's problems and issues in iran. after that we had to leave because it wasn't safe for us. it felt awful because i had to leave my family, my friends, my badminton team — technically everyone i knew — to start a new life. i did not speak any english, i learned english by myself in the uk by watching netflix. i started playing myself in the uk by watching netflix. istarted playing badminton when i was ten. i immediately fell in love with it. it's the great community, great people you meet from all over the world, and it's just such a great sport to bring people together. my dad introduced me to badminton. my dad wasn't allowed to watch me play in iran, as it's a rule in iran to not allow men to watch women play.

i live in milton keynes at the time my father i confusion there. y and they said to me, we don't have the answers, but we will get them. do you have a nagging worry that because we have a new administration, a new government, that one answer to what we hear today and we wait to find out, is that that was then and that was those people. and it's a new administration, so almost they can put a line between what happened before and what they might do. yes. before and what they might do. yes, because that — before and what they might do. yes, because that was _ before and what they might do. yes, because that was then _ before and what they might do. ye: because that was then and it before and what they might do. 1l: because that was then and it was before and what they might do. il: because that was then and it was a different government that they need to look at not that that was then all this is now, but what happens next. there will be another pandemic at some point in the future and if lessons are not learned from this, we will make the same mistake

made some sort of headunes remember made some sort of headlines by saying that she wanted more milton keynesyle towns, so that actually, rather than just, i mean , i'm all for than just, i mean, i'm all for bolting on more houses anywhere. i think we should just build, build, build. but the idea of taking completely undeveloped areas and have town planning and town projects, whole new towns, which is incredibly ambitious, new infrastructures, it wouldn't just mean new houses, it mean new schools, new traffic systems, all the rest of it. thatis systems, all the rest of it. that is the kind of ambition that we need. and that's, you know, that's the kind of thing that could really kick start something exciting in housebuilding. so do we conclude then that the reason that we haven't that well, that we haven't that well, that we haven't had enough homes in this country that the targets just weren't met? >> boris johnson, when he became pm in 2019, he committed to 300,000 new homes a year by the mid 2020s and in 21 to 22 2223, the figure was fewer than 235,000 homes a year. and then add on to that

want to see and what fans don't want to see is that their club, like wimbledon, was uprooted to milton keynesned since. so why you have to have regulation to prevent it? look, it's beyond me. it's clear that the labour government, if now they're running this after the tories have handed it over, it's a hot potato. they really need some expertise to people to understand the game, to actually take it forward. >> that's right. thanks, harry. it seems like a problem that didn't need fixing, didn't it, right. i've had a great week with you, ben. thank you so much. i am on my holidays next week, but you will be back here. let's hand over to ben and emily, or indeed, tom and emily, because at 12:00, we were going to hear those first results from the covid inquiry. >> what have they concluded about how prepared the uk really was and negotiations between keir starmer and european leaders ? leaders? >> could a deal be struck? when it comes to a small boat migrants, and at what cost could it come all of that after your weather? >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

keynes. what were their approaches and how are they different than milton friedman?to look at the systems the communists or social systems and other types of systems, i think fast it's that friedman's real opposition was to communism and socialism in the form of government production of the means of economic production. and he said the classic examples of this are germany and korea. before the end of world war ii, both germany and korea had been united countries and if anything, the more industrial and at the developed part of germany was at the eastern part of germany and the more developed part. you had a sort of controlled experiment which is difficult to do and they had won a sort of system in the other part of the country and there is no question that west germany was far more productive economically and had a higher standard and that south korea had a higher standard of living at was more productive than north korea so i thought those were the classic examples, so his great opposition was to very significant government control of an economy. when it comes to jo
