vitoria mario, who is portuguese but lives in london, set up an online fundraising page because she isnhe american singer—songwriter chipped in the remainder, with a message saying "good luck with everything you do". speaking on bbc breakfast earlier, vitoria mario said how shocked she'd been when she found out the popstar had helped her out. i was asking friends to share, support, whatever they could do, and just out of the blue my friend messaged me saying taylor swift donated, but i didn't think it was the full amount, and then when she screenshot it for me and sent it to me i wasjust like, "wow, i need to sign in to check," and i did, and the money was there. i call it a blessing, personally, because for her to donate more than 50% of what i needed itjust blew my mind. i never expected that to happen. it was really different. scientists say unprecedented levels of ice loss in greenland are putting people around the world at risk of catastrophic flooding. more ice melted there last year than in any other year on record — with the equivalent of six olympic swimming pools of water pour

vitoria is, of course still in shock over the donation.because it's more than 50% of what i needed. it blew my mind. >> and you know, anthony, t-swift is known for her generosity. throughout the pandemic, she has sent cash donations to fans on twitter looking for help. so this is not a one-off for her. >> to the staff of grimy's, a great record store in nashville, she paid for their health insurance for three months during the pandemic. so yeah, she's -- >> she does that a lot. when nobody's looking, nobody -- she doesn't ask for publicity. she does a lot behind the scenes. that's great. >> thanks. >>> ahead, vice president mike pence will give us the republican response to the democratic national convention.

vitoria mario, who is portuguese but lives in london, set up an online fundraising page because she isn'tuck with everything you do". we have already seen some strong winds so far this morning and they are going to strengthen further as we head on into the afternoon. there is an unseasonably deep area of low pressure bringing gales for many of us today. it will be a mix of sunshine and showers but the weather could cause some disruption to travel, perhaps some power cuts, and the threat of coastal flooding because the winds are rotating around this big area of low pressure, pushing in some large waves. there are spring tides as well so particularly for parts of wales, southern and south—western england, you have that threat of coastal flooding. flood warnings also for parts of northern england and coastal parts of scotland as well. of northern england and coastal a of northern england and coastal mix of sun chain a showers. a mix of sun chain and scattered showers. the fewest sharers for east anglia and the south—east and northern scotland should see some sunshine this afternoon. 50 to 60

vitoria there, and well, that is a little unexpected moment. of course, it is not the first time a celebrity or pop star has made an unexpected donation, but no one is turning it down here. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. the story of the day to day as the wind. it was causing some issues at the cricket. look at the auction. we have seen gale force winds today. more akin to an autumn story rather than a more akin to an autumn story rather thana summer more akin to an autumn story rather than a summer run with the strong gale force gusts whipping the sea into action. gusts of wind in excess of 60 mph along the coast but the strongest gust we have found is in the isle of wight, just over 70 mph, because of this low pressure. to the southern flank is where we have the strongest of the winds and we also have some rain some of it quite persistent. leaving a trail of blustery showers, some of them heavy with thunder as well. for the remainder of the afternoon. there will be some sunny spells and some of you across central and sout
