ben thompson is on the piazza outside the bbc studios in salford, finding out how the sunshine influenceslegs out for us, good morning and welcome to the costa del sa lfo rd. we are here and it is glorious weather, expected to hit 30 degrees in most parts of the country today and that means good news for the retailers. we talked a lot about how difficult it has been for them but in most parts of the country today it is hot on that is good news for retailers. we talk about how difficult it is for them but all the stuff for barbecues, meat sales expected to be up 6.97, beer sales up expected to be up 6.97, beer sales up 20% injune last year but this sort of stuff on insect spray, sun cream. so how do the retailers nick shore they get all of this right? fraser is with me. good morning. it is really difficult to get this right, isn't it a smart supermarkets have to have everything in and have a close eye of august and if they get it wrong, they'll pay a price? the whole point of this country needs to be on the shelf and there were immediately. it might sound easy but think about the logistics

she's in salford. which represents businesses in the capital. what are your readers telling you jennifer about how awful things have been these past weeks? i think the chaos on the rail ways itself has translated into chaos in people's live. they can't get to work or hospital appointments, they are having to pay for taxis. they are on crowded platforms that haven't been replaced and they were on crammed on to trains. it has become so much worse since northern started cancelling hundreds of trains a day. even after it brought in the emergency time table yesterday, they're still cancelling dozens of trains, even within that emergency time table. one reason people are so angry is they don't feel that their voices are being listened to and they're getting excuses and they're still standing on platforms and listening to the excuses. clearly important to say that these have been horrific lot of circumstances, that are specific to northern rail, but it feels as if they have played into a bigger sense of griev

also from salford, gill walton, who is the chief executive of the royal college of midwives. and how significant change you think it is. the position says infant feeding, beading all babies, in the past, we had a position that really promoted breast—feeding. because the breast—feeding rates in this country were very low. they are still low. we have about 80% of women starting to breast—feed but they do give up quite early. but it is about making sure that we respect women's choices. that we trust them. and if women choose to bottle feed, we support them in the same way to make sure they do that safely and that they don't feel guilty. lauren, at your experience, you tell us what your experience was when you had your son. we went down the typical pub, —— we went down the typical path, we attended the antenatal classes and there was quite a bit of detail about the physical aspect of breast—feeding and brush over about bottle feeding, so we said, we are going to breast—feed. the first moment you are left your own devices which is typically feeding your child, we dehydrated him an

hugh ferris is in salford. the hand and i'm villain already, he has gone up a notch. yeah, one of the biggest things on social media, one of the items most retweeted was the moment when loris karius and sergio ramos came together, just before the first goal, the first of two stakes when he rolled the ball to karim benzema's leg, making it 1—0 and later passing the ball to gareth bale. doctors haven't pinpointed when they think the concussion could have happened but pantomime villain is something that is a way to describe sergio ramos. but if you are describe sergio ramos. but if you a re carefully describe sergio ramos. but if you are carefully at the footage preceding that moment, there's all sorts of blame that can be placed on all sorts of players, so we perhaps won't draw too many conclusions. suffice it to say that this is an extraordinary revelation. this character is absolutely dejected, you saw that picture of loris karius. it was a real story of incredible despairfor a karius. it was a real story of in

andy willis teaches film and media studies at the university of salford and has his own impressive collectionthey died a death, new technology comes along but we like to reminisce but there was a reason. dvds were better. i think this shop in liverpool is like a nostalgia trip. you will not get new films because they do not, on vhs so it is just people looking back and remembering when they first saw something on vhs and all getting together to watch it.|j saw something on vhs and all getting together to watch it. i just like that you could see everything at once, that is what i struggle with, trying to decide what to watch. if you go into a store again you can just have more of a look at things. you use streaming services? streaming, yes. so you think people might like it for that reason?” think they will until this down and watch it. it made got caught up in the video player and then the picture those fuzzy. good luck to that fellow but i'm not sure that it will catch on again. but a lot of people still do have vhs. people have been sending in their pictures and we have plenty to show you.”

he joins us from salford. thank you for being with us.hic to say the least. some of the key people needed to see if he could be released were on holiday at the time. what are your thoughts about it? i have read the report and what is important in these cases, first of all the information the clinical teams have when making decisions about somebody‘s appropriateness to stay in hospital, their legal status, as in whether their legal status, as in whether the mental health act is legally appropriate, but the circumstances of their case so the teams can work out whether or not hospital is the right place for people. certainly, i think sadly, from what i have mad billy mcclure read in this case, there has been a failure of information and people were making decisions without the appropriate information. in the second element, because genuinely not everybody who has mental health problems and not everybody who has history of violence, will remain in hospital. there has to be proper planning for their release. in this case, the planning seems to

at the university of salford they have, apparently, got 37 dogs and their owners to take part in thiss of this story is the language they have managed to translate is not extraordinarily surprising. when a dog rolls on its back it means, scratch me. if it holds its paw up, it wants its toy. and jumping up and down means, open the door. you would have thought they would use the word please every now and again. holding the paw like that means get my toy. 0pen the paw like that means get my toy. open the door come on the left here, when they jump up. and when you do that, tickle my tummy. 0r scratch me, yeah. tummy. or scratch me, yeah. it does give you paws for thought! chuckles you have an animal mad this morning. but the piece we saw in the antarctic from richard westcott. you cannot go wrong. i cover the south—west of england in my dayjob. i know when the shark stories start summer is here. you are quite right. and it is also the hottest day of the year, then the coldest day of the year, then the coldest day of the year, then the coldest day of the year, as you will know as a journal
