That's all from me, stay with us on BBC1, it's time

:00:00.3:59:59

Good evening and welcome. I'm Alice Bhandhukravi.

:00:00.:00:16.

A 'pop-up' sweet shop in Wimbledon, launched by tennis star

:00:17.:00:19.

Maria Sharapova has been condemned by nutritionists.

:00:20.:00:23.

The 'Sugarpova Candy Lounge' is selling treats to tennis fans

:00:24.:00:26.

But in the week when scientists recommended people

:00:27.:00:31.

cut their sugar levels by half, one expert has said the shop is

:00:32.:00:36.

Wine gum that looks like tennis balls, or candy shaped as a kiss,

:00:37.:00:48.

The Sugarpova Candy Lounge opened two weeks ago, run by

:00:49.:00:52.

I have always had a sweet tooth and I have always wanted to make

:00:53.:00:59.

In this promotional video, she is like a kid in a candy store, but as

:01:00.:01:05.

a role model for children, is Maria Sharapova being irresponsible?

:01:06.:01:08.

It is a ruinous thing that she has done.

:01:09.:01:14.

There is no way in my book that a lady of that kind of personality

:01:15.:01:18.

should be doing something which is basically a come on for children.

:01:19.:01:24.

Maria Sharapova's management team say these are premium products

:01:25.:01:26.

The proof, I'd guess, is in the eating.

:01:27.:01:32.

I would not suggest that children eat them.

:01:33.:01:34.

I think I will not be giving them to my kids.

:01:35.:01:44.

They are frightfully expensive. But kids are eating them.

:01:45.:01:46.

Yes. Is it a bad idea?

:01:47.:01:48.

Yes, because they are full of sugar. They say they are not aimed at kids.

:01:49.:01:51.

They should make ones without sugar. Would you not eat them?

:01:52.:01:55.

And that is what the scientific advisory committee wants.

:01:56.:02:02.

A report this week said that everyone should try to cut sugar

:02:03.:02:05.

intake by half to lower obesity rates.

:02:06.:02:08.

Exercise helps, and Maria Sharapova plays hours of tennis every day

:02:09.:02:10.

The local council says it cannot dictate what is sold here.

:02:11.:02:16.

The sweets are available online and elsewhere.

:02:17.:02:20.

And much like its owner, after Wimbledon, it will be gone.

:02:21.:02:25.

Royal Mail says one of its competitors is putting

:02:26.:02:28.

Much of TNT's expanding delivery business has been focused on London.

:02:29.:02:45.

TNT operates more than 15 districts in London and in those areas,

:02:46.:02:50.

deliver about one in seven of all letters. Sometimes it has been going

:02:51.:02:54.

wrong is when one resident found over 200 letters discarded in a

:02:55.:03:00.

bush. And a bag of TNT Post was found by a North London MP dumped in

:03:01.:03:05.

a river. My supporters and myself were cleaning up the river after we

:03:06.:03:13.

saw a lot of cans. We found a black sack, which opened up to reveal lots

:03:14.:03:17.

of council tax bills, and notification from banks. Official

:03:18.:03:21.

documents which had not been delivered. It was a council tax

:03:22.:03:26.

notification, and those people who needed that information, they are

:03:27.:03:31.

probably on smaller incomes. It TNT Post say that most of their mail is

:03:32.:03:35.

delivered without a hitch and they take any incident very seriously.

:03:36.:03:41.

Royal Mail say that TNT post are only delivering to the most

:03:42.:03:46.

profitable parts of the country And that gives them an unfair

:03:47.:03:53.

advantage. The universal service offering is prescribed by law so we

:03:54.:03:57.

have to operate to every address in the UK six days a week. If we do not

:03:58.:04:02.

have the volumes of mail that allow us to cross subsidise, we will

:04:03.:04:10.

effectively get to a tipping point where the economics of the universal

:04:11.:04:16.

service does not make sense. Royal Mail has no complains to Ofcom and a

:04:17.:04:21.

review is promised next year. - has now complained. But take a look at

:04:22.:04:29.

the weather. It returned to summer in the coming days. Much drier and

:04:30.:04:34.

warmer. We will start tomorrow on a dry note. It temperatures of 22

:04:35.:04:47.

Celsius. And the best of the bright weather in the coming days, warming

:04:48.:04:48.

up. We'll be back tomorrow morning

:04:49.:04:49.

in breakfast. From everyone on the team,

:04:50.:04:52.

goodnight. Good evening. The weather is

:04:53.:05:11.

following similar patterns to the rest of the month. Temperatures

:05:12.:05:15.

above average. Most places dry. We'll keep a few showers as we start

:05:16.:05:21.

Monday morning. With clearing skies, a cool start to tomorrow morning but

:05:22.:05:25.

plenty of sunshine around. There will be cloud first thing in the

:05:26.:05:28.

morning across northern and eastern Scotland. Producing light showers.

:05:29.:05:35.

Sunshine first thing in the morning for Glasgow. Bright skies across

:05:36.:05:41.

Northern Ireland. Heading south there may be some patchy cloud.

:05:42.:05:48.

Temperatures beginning to recover. There is the chance of some thicker

:05:49.:05:52.

cloud affecting West Cornwall with rain for the Isles of Scilly. We

:05:53.:05:55.

will keep that risk throughout the

:05:56.:05:56.
