15/07/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

Calls for a crackdown to tackle acid attacks -

a review will be carried out into whether laws

After five attacks in London on Thursday night campaigners

and the Labour Party say there needs to be a change.

Good morning, it's Saturday the 15th of July.

A call for a more consistent approach to tower block fires

after the Grenfell Tower disaster as one in five fire brigades say

they will still not automatically send a high ladder to a blaze.

Sir David Frost and his son both died from a genetic undiagnosed

heart condition - we'll hear how his family hopes to prevent

other people going experiencing the same loss.

For your 31-year-old rubber to die suddenly and oblique, nothing can

prepare you for that. I will never get over the pain of learning that

for the first time. A world record for Hannah Cockroft

as Britain takes three medals on the opening night of the World

Para-athletics Championships. Good morning here from Wimbledon for

women's finals day as 37-year-old Venus Williams aims to become the

oldest winner of the open era. Roger Federer is through as well, looking

for this eighth title. Today is the Word day of the weekend

with most rain to the west. Further south you are, the temperature is on

Laws on buying and carrying acid are to be reviewed by the government

following a spate of attacks which took place in London

Five people had corrosive liquid thrown at them,

including one man who is said to have suffered life-changing

Two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, remain in custody on suspicion

A warning you may find some of the images in Andy Moore's report

Where does it hurt? In your eyes? In the aftermath of the first attack,

police doused the victim with water. He was protected by his helmet and

lucky to escape with only minor injuries. Even so, it was a

terrifying experience. Took my helmet off and I was screaming for

help. I was crying as much as you could cry. It was burning. I was

screaming for water, screaming for help. Knocking on the doors and

windows. Another rider attacked at this location was not so lucky. He

has a life changing injuries to his face. The Shadow Home Secretary

called the attacks horrific and barbaric and she is calling for

tighter controls. There are different alternatives from

sulphuric acid. No-one should be able to buy sulphuric acid unless

they are a builder or a workman who needed in the course of their

profession. And they should have a licence. The government says it is

working with the police to see what more can be done to combat the

growing menace of acid attacks. There are calls for a more

consistent response to major incidents from all fire

brigades in the UK following A BBC News investigation found that

crew levels and equipment vary significantly across the country -

leading to what the Fire Brigade Union has described

as a postcode lottery. More than one month afterwards,

there is now a clear picture of how the London Fire Brigade responded to

the blaze. Last week it emerged it took over half an hour for a high

ladder to arrive after the first fire engine. Automatically bringing

this equipment was not part of its predetermined plan but a BBC News

night investigation has found that different from 70% of fire services

in the UK with high-rise blocks in their region. The investigation also

revealed significant variations in the number of fire engines

dispatched across the country. It is Procter calls for the government to

implement mandatory minimum requirements for fire services who

are attending high-rise fires. We have raised concerns about the sort

of issue for over a decade. We used to have national standards of fire

cover. We now have local risk management plans. They are budget

management plans. We have seen the risk assessments over time, as

budgets are squeezed, the response has declined over the past few

years. Since grown for power, for services including London and

Manchester have changed their attendance plans while nine say they

still would not send an aerial ladder in the first instance. They

say it is the responsibility of each fire authority to manage their own

resources. The former Prime Minister Tony Blair

has claimed senior figures in the EU have told him they are prepared

to be flexible on freedom of movement in order to accommodate

Britain after Brexit. Mr Blair made the claim

in an an article written Just last week the EU's chief

negotiator Michel Barnier said the freedom of movement of people,

goods, services and capital 7000 police officers, soldiers,

officials and academics have been sacked in Turkey were a national

holiday is being held to mark the first anniversary of a failed

attempt to remove President Erdogan. Your authorities have accused them

of being members of terrorist at organisations or working against the

national interest that it 150,000 people have now been arrested or

sacked since the aborted coup. The government says it will consider

increasing the sentences of people convicted of offences such

as encouraging terrorism, if members of the public think

the punishment is too light. The Ministry of Justice has

set out plans to extend the "Unduly Lenient Sentence" scheme

in England and Wales, which already covers serious terror

offences and crimes such Be unduly lenient sentence scheme

gives anyone the power to ask the government's most senior law officer

to review a criminal sentence. If the attorney general considers it

appropriate, the case can be referred to the Court of Appeal to

reconsideration. At the moment, the scheme covers crimes such as murder,

manslaughter, rape and robbery. In 2015, the attorney general referred

136 cases to the Court of Appeal with 102 offenders having their

sentence increased. Ministers say they will now extend the scheme to

cover 19 offences including supporting an extremist

organisation, encouraging acts of terror and failing to disclose

information about a terrorist attack. The government says the

measure is not an overreaction to recent attacks. We have been looking

at this for some time and a lot of work has gone into a. We are making

sure there is a system in place for the victims of terror offences, that

they are properly checked. Also, making sure that those who wilfully

and culpably turn a blind eye to terrorist activity feel the full

force of the law. The change will occur on August eight sentences on

or after that they will be subject to the scheme but will not applied

to previous cases. Wages are increasing

at their slowest rate for five years, which is hitting young

families particularly hard, The Resolution Foundation -

which analyses living standards - says average income growth halved

to 0.7% in the 12 months before last month's general

election, as our business Went Theresa May became Prime

Minister year ago she promised to work hardest for those just about

managing. The one year later, that those people have seen the rate at

which their incomes grow more than halved. It stood at 1.6% but just

before the general election it fell to 0.7%. Before the financial crisis

in 2008, incomes had grown an average rate of just over 2%.

Incomes for younger families, however, have not risen at all in 15

years. Or pensioner incomes have grown by 30% in that time due to

soaring property values. The big winners are those with mortgages who

have seen the interest rate on their mortgage come down significantly. If

they disdain jobs, they may not get the earnings gain they wanted but

they have benefited from the interest rates. Young people are

still 10% lower than where they were and if they are renting, they say

even more pressure on the budget. While average households have seen

the ring can stagnate of late the wealthiest 1% of the population are

said to have the largest ever share of written is total wealth. --

Britain's total wealth. A shortlist of five contenders has

been announced in the race to be UK City of Culture 2021,

taking over from Hull. Coventry, Paisley, Sunderland,

Swansea and Stoke-on-Trent are all still in the running to host

the year-long celebration of art and performance, which

happens every four years. The winner will be

announced in December. New York is well-known

for being a ruthless and competitive place - but this could be

going a bit too far. It is the city's annual Baby Race -

also known as the Diaper Derby. There is only one rule -

no walking allowed. From the sidelines parents

use whatever it takes to encourage their little

ones across the mats. Jangling keys, TV remotes

and bottles of milk seem There is no stopwatch,

and the time it takes these little sprinters to reach the finish

line can vary wildly, No tears, however? There were plenty

of tears. It is just the parents. It is just an excuse for cute children

on screen, isn't it? Let's have a look at the front pages. This is the

story we lead with as well, knife crime laws to halt acid attacks

ministers are reacting after we heard that in London five people

were attacked on Thursday night in the space of 90 minutes. One person

suffered life changing injuries and now new laws to restrict the sale

and possession of corrosive substances will be proposed. That is

what times they picture there is the king of Spain saying farewell to the

Queen after his visit, the first bias that Spanish moniker since

1956. The Daily Mail is marking the beginning of the summer holidays, an

investigation into what it calls the summer hire car rip-off. It says

that British tourist travelling in the EU are facing increases in the

access they have to pay if they have an accident. Up to two and a half

thousand pounds. Did you watch the game with Roger Federer? It was

fabulous. Such a good game. Two brilliant sportsman just battling it

out. He has now proceeded to the final. He would be the first, he is

one victory away from being the first man to win Wimbledon eight

times the massive amount of respect to this man. You remember pictures

of them as a young boy winning the singles. And he is still there. A

well liked competitor. Tough laws, again, called to stop acid attacks.

We will have some highlights from Wimbledon a little bit later and we

are looking forward to the ladies final this afternoon. Talking out to

J, let's find out what happens with the weather because it will not be

amazing to be. Good morning, how are you? Yes, you are right, there is a

mixed bag this morning. Some rain this weekend, mostly in the north

and west of the UK, not too much in the south and east that will be

quite warm and muddy. This is the big picture, weather fronts coming

in from the Atlantic and this wedge of warm air will be heading across

the UK and fairly humid as well without. Rain on fairly wet in the

west of Scotland, Rain through time working its way across much of

northern England. Most of the other counties stayed essentially dry is a

bit cloudy and breezy. Mid-afternoon, still wet across

western Scotland. And drier developing further is but another

band of rain working south across Northern Ireland. Northern England

dries up to some extent into the afternoon but still a little dull

and damp in the west of the Pennines. Low cloud here. A lot of

cloud to the afternoon across the south-west of England but not a lot

of rain, if any at all, and very little rain makes its way towards

the south-east of England. There will be some in East Anglia.

Wimbledon this afternoon, the ladies final, a lot of cloud around, maybe

a spot of rain but I suspect it will stay dry. Warm for the men's final

and quite a lot of cloud around. As we head on into the evening there

will be wetter weather sinking slowly south, moving away from

Scotland and Northern Ireland, heading down to the western side of

England and Wales. Dry further is to go. Quite warm night, 16, 17 degrees

pertaining fresher further north. Of fresh air will work as we ever

southwards during the day on Sunday. Behind this band of cloud,

increasingly light and patchy rain. Bit of a north south splits in the

second half of the weekend, bride of the further north you go with a few

showers but further south, a lot of cloud, not a lot of rain that there

will be some and still warm and humid with the low cloud across the

southern half of the UK. Fairly high humidity and further north, a little

fresher at 17 - 19 degrees. Identifying inherited heart

conditions can save lives, but many of us don't know that we're

carrying the gene that causes Sir David Frost had the condition

and while it didn't cause his death he did pass it on to

one of his sons Miles. His family have now set up a fund

in his name which is paying for genetic testing

at centres across the UK. Our correspondent Chris Buckler has

been to one of the centres Miles, come here. In every child you

can find something of their parents and often inherited alongside looks

and characteristics are things that can't be seen. Miles Frost shared

with his father David gene responsible for a heart condition

that led to his sudden death. For your 31-year-old brother to die

suddenly and unexpectedly, nothing can prepare you for it and I'll

never get over the pain of learning that for the first time. He loved

sport and he seemed extremely healthy, but he died after going

out. His brothers have now set up a fund which, along with the British

Heart Foundation, is paying for people to be tested for an inherited

heart condition. He would have had to adapt his life and stop playing

sport, but at least he would be with us. That didn't happen and we can

look back and we can complain about that or we can look forward and make

sure it doesn't happen again for the people. Sports clubs are starting to

get to grips with how to deal with the problem. It's impossible to

simply spot who might have an inherited condition on the pitch,

but being aware of the disability could save someone's life. We have a

couple of southern deaths within our club and it has been shocking and we

will go back to looking at just giving advice to people. That

doesn't necessarily mean not taking part in sport, it is just changing

what they do on the field. Most of the risk with sport is associated

with high intensity sprinting back Bell based activities, so we would

normally steer people away from those activities. -- sprinting

based. Just do things within parameters. This is one of six

centres across the country to be given funding. Not just for families

who have this gene, which is known as HCM, but also to offer some

support to them. When you see it in the book... This woman has been

identified with the condition and she has passed it onto her

14-year-old son. That means real adjustments for a football and rugby

mad teenager. Rugby is a no-no, but he can play in nets, provided

there's the lower level of physical exertion. Golf, he loves it, but it

will be a huge impact on him. The bottomline is it is better that he

knows and that we can make those adjustments in his life and to live

with the condition that he has. It's thought tens of thousands of people

are carrying the gene in the UK and targeted screening is at the heart

of attempts to make sure they live long and active lives.

We will talk a bit more about that condition later and about the

screening methods that can take place.

We'll be back with the headlines at 6:30am.

Now on Breakfast it's time to join Jane Hill and Mark Kermode for this

Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this week's cinema releases,

Hello again Mark. Hello.

We have The Beguiled, which is Sofia Coppola's remake

We have Cars 3, the animated sequel - more cars.

And the War For The Planet Of The Apes, the ongoing saga continues.

As I already learnt I have to pronounce.

Yes, "Cope-ola", "Cop-pola" let's call the whole thing off!

The point is, this is based on a novel by Thomas Cullinan

that was filmed before by Don Siegel in 1971,

a famous adaptation, a cult movie.

During the Civil War a wounded Union soldier is found

girl from Miss Farnsworth's Seminary for Young Ladies.

He is brought back to the seminary, he is mortally wounded,

And his presence immediately starts to cause a kerfuffle,

not only because he is an enemy soldier - and how do they feel

about brining an enemy soldier into the school - but also

You know you're not supposed to go that far.

Quick, we need to move him to the porch.

So what happens is, due to what Miss Martha

calls Christian charity, they bring him into the house.

They start to look after him and he starts to get better

to get his way into everyone's confidences and he's

flirty and he sees what each character wants or needs.

The film appears to be one kind of film,

but the question is, of course - who is The Beguiled?

Sofia Coppola said when she saw the Don Siegel version,

this interesting story but from the point of view

Although you could say the novel and the film, which have multiple

narrators voices, aren't necessarily just from the male

What she's really good at, is the relationships

They've lived in kind of cloistered existence and in comes

And it changes the way in which the dynamic

You saw from that sequence just then,

It's a really ethereal, almost gauzy look to it.

That fairytale quality is partly deliberate but also what it does,

This is set in the Civil War but it might as well not be,

In the Don Siegel version we have shots of the battlefield

and flashbacks but none of that here, it is just in the distance.

In the novel and the Siegel version there is a slave character who has

not want to trivialise that subject and also

because in her mind, that is not what the story is about.

I have to confess I have a real fondness of the Don Siegel version,

This version takes it in a different direction,

That is the question, is it worth remaking something that

It is worth it because it is such a different film.

prefer the Don Siegel version but I'm happy...

The two versions can coexist because they are such different

films, and personally, I grew up loving '70s exploitation

cinema and I will always have a fondness for the original,

Nicole Kidman is very nuanced in her response

He has the sly look in his eye, you think he's in control

I would encourage people to see this but also the Don Siegel version

It strikes me that your next choice could not be more different.

The problem with it is, it is very samey, it is Cars 3,

and you know Cars 1 and Cars 2, well, it is that.

I remember seeing the first one, I loved the designs,

I loved the way the landscapes actually looked like cars.

I loved the tail fins within the landscapes,

the narrative, we have been around this track before,

The central character Lightning McQueen has got to go back

to school to learn about new ways of winning a race, in the process

his trainer has to learn there is more to being a trainer.

There are individual set pieces which are good

It comes with a short film at the beginning,

and the little short film is really sweet and smart, about bullying

and how bullying comes from being hurt yourself

and it is really short and compact and everything that is smart

about that little short film is what is wrong with Cars.

Individual scenes are fine but overall it feels heavy baggage.

If we start going down that road, we can wipe out most mainstream

It is not fair to say that about Cars,

as every mainstream franchise has got that.

I wouldn't mind that if the film felt more original,

but it felt like I had seen that before.

Right, now War For The Planet Of The Apes.

Sorry, Mark, I know I am an eternal disappointment to you.

The original series of the Planet Of The Apes I loved,

forget about the Tim Burton remake, but now we have got this

Mankind is on the decline, Apekind is on the rise.

Caesar is leading the Apes, played by Andy Serkis.

Almost human. How did you know I was here?

That more soldiers from the North would be joining you here.

What I like about this, the performance capture

Andy Serkis is starting to specialise in this,

His relationship with performance capture goes back to Gollum in Lord

of the Rings and working with Peter Jackson on

What is extraordinary is this evolution has happened

I remember watching the Tim Burton Planet Of The Apes

and thinking, oh, they had developed a prosthetic to allow one

but now they have computer generated images that are mapped

I think the story is good, very dark, and there is a lot

of Apocalypse Now in there, which there also was in

Kong Skull Island, but I think the way of the performance capture,

I think I'm actually watching these characters,

and I'm not any longer concentrating on how well

I do think Serkis's work is brilliant, and there has been

talk about whether he will get an Oscar-nomination and I think

What I like about this, as someone who is a die-hard

Planet Of The Apes fan, I have always said everything I know

about politics I learned from Planet Of The Apes

I think this has taken the series on, it is dramatic.

The synthesis of performance and technology is really, really well

It Comes At Night, I still think is terrific, some people that go

thinking this is a slam bang horror movie, as the trailer suggests,

have been disappointed, but it's not that.

And I asked you to go and see this, but you didn't?

You need to go and see this, it is a creepy film,

It's not a shriek film, a really creepy horror film,

in the woods and there is something out there.

I really like it and I think you will admire it.

But you know I am a bit chicken about that kind

desperate to see what you want to talk about for your DVD.

This is a great film, The Levelling, one of the best debut films I've

seen in a long time, set in the Somerset

Ellie Kendrick and David Troughton are estranged father and daughter,

on the farm that he owns, that is failing, they are trying

The best way to describe this film is, it is a very tactile film.

You can feel the earth, the mud and the history, and all of that

I thought it was terrific, great soundtrack, beautiful use

She was named as a rising star many years ago,

all these newspapers saying this, and it took a long time

If you can make a film that good, take as long as you want.

Mark, as ever, thanks for joining us.

A quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news

and reviews from across the BBC online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode.

And you can find all our previous programmes on the iplayer.

Enjoy your cinema going. Goodbye.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

Coming up before seven Jay will have the weekend's weather

But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

Laws on buying and carrying acid are to be reviewed by the government

following a spate of attacks which took place in London

Five people had corrosive liquid thrown at them,

including one man who is said to have suffered life-changing

Two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, remain in custody on suspicion

of robbery and grievous bodily harm with intent.

20% of fire brigades across the UK still won't automatically send

a tall ladder to a fire in a high rise block

of flats - despite the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Under its policy at the time, the London brigade didn't send

an aerial ladder immediately to the blaze.

It's thought the equipment might have helped firefighters restrict

It's now led to concerns over discrepencies between local fire

The former Prime Minister Tony Blair has claimed senior figures in the EU

have told him they are prepared to be flexible on freedom

of movement in order to accomodate Britain after Brexit.

Mr Blair made the claim in an article

written for his own charitable institute.

Just last week the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier said

the freedom of movement of people, goods, services

There are plans to extend a scheme which allows members of the public

to call for harsher sentences in England and Wales.

The Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme already covers serious terror

offences and crimes such as murder and rape.

The Ministry of Justice now wants it to apply to people who have been

convicted of offences such as encouraging terrorism.

The winner will be announced in December.

A 20-year old pilot from West Sussex has become the youngest ever woman

to fly alongside the US Air Force Thunderbirds display team.

Beth Moran only took up flying last year because she wanted to do

something positive following the Shoreham air disaster.

She took to the skies over RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire

in an F-16 combat jet that is in the UK as part of 70th

I am dizzy just looking at that. You can fill your stomach flipping while

you watch it. Well done to her, however. Those are our main stories

this morning. We promised you we would head to Wimbledon and we are

going there now. Good morning, Mike. Good morning. Can you see what we

are doing here? I have a mug of tea behind me. I would find it difficult

to pick it up and drink it. It is our mug for our challenge. Later we

will see how the former world heavyweight champion of the world,

David Hay, got an. Here we are, on women's final day. A history making

weekend this could be. If Venus Williams at the age of 37 can do

defeat Babinda Muguruza this afternoon she will be the oldest

winner in the open era, the oldest since 1908, some achievement. We

have waited a long time 337-year-old to win a ran slam like this. In the

men's final tomorrow, another veteran of Centre Court, Roger

Federer is through looking to make history as well. He defeated his

opponent in straight sets as he looks freeze record 19th grand slam

title. I feel privileged to be in another

final. I know how much a means to so many players to be able to go out on

centre court at Wimbledon at any time in their career and I have had

the pleasure to do it so many times. This time in another final, it is so

good. I can not believe it is true again.

Looking to spoil Federer's party on centre court tomorrow is Marin

Cilic is into his second major final after winning the 2014 US Open.

Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis are through to the mixed doubles

final after beating Marcelo Demoliner and Maria Jose

Martinez-Sanchez in straights sets on centre court.

And waiting for them are Heather Watson and Henri

They beat Bruno Soares and Elena Vesnina two sets to one.

So that means Britain is guaranteed success one way or another

Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett are back in the hunt for another

Wimbledon title after Britain's star wheelchair tennis double act

After early defeats in the singles for the British pair,

they rebounded as a team with victory over Argentinian

Gustavo Fernandez and Japan's Shingo Kunieda.

Away from the tennis, Hannah Cockcroft set a new world

record at the World Para-athletics Championships in London last

And it was a British one-two as as sixteen-year-old Kare Adenegan

Immense. Amazing. I was getting a little emotional. The noise is so

loud, we have not had that since the London 2012. To be able to go in and

put in such a good performance, it means so much and hopefully that's a

sign of And Gemma Prescott won GB's third

for the tourists with 78, but England picked up four wickets,

including his, in the last session . The last time that we played here

and older we bowled rather well. I think was important that whatever we

did, we kept at it and we did that. They applied themselves well, credit

to them. As I say, they were in front.

There's eight stages to go at the Tour de France

and Chris Froome will start this morning in white,

rather than yellow, for a second day -

he's still six seconds behind Fabio Aru.

But he says he's enjoying racing to try and take the yellow jersey

It was actually quite a great feeling to have to go out there and

try to race for a win today, as opposed to racing defensively and

having the pressure of defending the Jersey. It was nice to have the shoe

on the other foot. It's been a difficult few

weeks for Rory McIlroy, he's been struggling for form

boxing match at the end of August. Like the three events before it,

it was a highly charged affair but challenger Conor McGregor say's

he can't wait to prove You are all going to air your words

and I will be so happy. It is all being documented. Everyone stared

into a camera and gave the prediction that I would not touch

on, and that there was no chance. I am sitting here laughing. They doubt

me but it is a different world, a whole new wave. I look forward to

watching all the post match footage. He may be the former

heavyweight world champion, but can David Haye put Andy Murray

on the ropes to go top of the leaderboard in our Game,

Set, Mug challenge? We are in a privileged place this

morning. We are inside the gym owned by the one and only Mr David Hay,

former world heavyweight champion. He will have a go against the

market. I am feeling that you are ready for this. I am. I have been

waiting a long time for this. OK. 30 seconds to get as many balls into

that mug. Andy Murray has 14. Here's a Wimbledon champion, though... Yes.

I think double figures is good. OK. I am going for the double figures.

Good technique. Overarm, yes, kept going. Oh, my goodness. This is

going to be a good one. Here we go. Interesting. Of power in these risks

is translating into a good result here. You are halfway there, 15

seconds left. I feel like I am in your corner. This is brilliant.

Should I offer you some coaching? I am better at punching people. And

now stocked. Had you think you did? Not that great. I think I got around

three or four, hopefully. Follow me. Let's have a look. Let's have a

look. Ready look inside the mug? I am. Oh, that is brilliant! Nine!

Nine! I did not trust your counting. I am happy with that. David Hay,

nine. Who have second place? I think you may have been beaten by Kim

Clijsters, I'm not sure. But for a boxer, that is very good, better

than me. Thank you. I will come back and I will beat Andy. I will get

you, Andy. Well done. David Hayes certainly did well there. Let's see

where it leaves him now on the leaderboard. This is our leaderboard

on the ultimate day of Wimbledon. David Hay, joins Grigor Dimitrov on

nine just behind James Ward and Clinton cries that and Andy Murray,

still there on 14. Looking as though he may take the title. So on ladies

final day, do not forget the coverage starts on BBC Two at 11

o'clock and then it is across the BBC on Radio 5 live on the sport

website at two o'clock this afternoon. The fund should be

shining. I don't will see this on Centre Court this afternoon. Misses

from yesterday, I think you'll enjoy this moment. Kim Clijsters is asking

the crowd how she should serve? One serve as a madman said do a body so.

Well, Kim wanted to know if he could do the walk as well is talk the talk

she also went and got him one of her skirts and shirts and tries to

squeeze the fan into its. So that he can indeed face one of her first.

And he does. Actually, he manages to return it. Well done, Sir. Imagine

trying to do that with all the pressure of the crowd looking at

you, having squeezed into the type of stock skirts. There were. One

brave man, isn't he? He had some real walls to do that and he did

quite well. How do you think you would have done that? I don't think

I would have returned as well as he did. Maybe you would have looked

better in this go. I might have squeezed in bath... It does make it

hard to move. I have never won a skirt, I don't know. Trident. It is

not hard. A whole new you. Will try later. Not today. Only on Sundays.

Let's bring you up today now with the news from BBC. Laws to be

reviewed on buying and carrying acid and corrosive materials after the

attacks in London on Thursday night. And there are demands for the Fire

Brigades to adopt a more consistent response to major incidents after

the grand full power disaster. -- Grenfell Tower.

I enjoyed this so much. I feel very grateful to do the things that I

like so much. He stars alongside Tom Hardy

and Mark Rylance in one of the summer's biggest

blockbusters, Dunkirk. Here's Jay with a look

at this morning's weather. A dramatic sky behind you! Yes, we

can expect at least some rain this weekend. Most of that will be in

northern parts of the UK, but for most of us it's a warm day and

fairly humid as well. This warm air is coming in from the south and

west, bringing the weather fronts with them. It is bring the rain into

the north and west. There are highs bars on the chart, so it be breezy.

Lots of cloud first thing. The rain is moving from west to east. Further

south it's a largely dry day, if rather cloudy and breezy. Wettest

all the while in the western side of Scotland. Further east, some drier

and brighter interludes, but there will be another band of rain working

south through the afternoon. In northern England most of the rain

will be through the morning. Still some left over in the west in

particular, quite grey as well. Again, the rain works through here

through the morning. There will be some drier and brighter conditions

in the southern counties. Temperatures about 21- 22 degrees in

the south and east. Not a great deal of sunshine through the afternoon.

Largely dry for the ladies' final today. Tomorrow a lot of cloud

around again. In evening the weather front moves away from Scotland and

Northern Ireland and pushes into the north of England, maybe some wet

weather to the south and west of the UK as well with lots of low cloud.

But quite a warm night, 16- 17 degrees. Fresher further north. That

fresh air will eventually win out and push in behind this weakening

band of cloud and a little bit of rain as well through the day on

Sunday. As you see this is working south. Fresh air coming in behind it

and brighter conditions as well. Maybe the odd shower in Scotland.

Dry and bright weather across the northern half of the UK. Maybe some

rain, but nothing too significant and still pretty warm and humid.

Further north it is fresh, 17- 19. A changeable weekend. Back to you.

We'll be back with the headlines at 7am.

Now on Breakfast, it's time for Click.

This is Adam Jensen, star of the video game

Set in 2027, the poor chap has to undergo extensive

cybernetic modifications after being severely injured.

Well, just ten years before those events might occur,

that plot line doesn't seem that far off.

For years now people have been body hacking,

giving themselves extra abilities and, as our understanding

of robotics has advanced, so has our creativity.

Like the cyborg in the video game, he too has a bionic eye.

It doesn't have Terminator vision like this, yet,

Inside a prosthetic eye, which is an odd shape,

they're not a sphere, a prosthetic eye, they're actually

Inside that is a battery, a video camera and a video

transmitter all attached to a circuit board so they can

The camera is turned on and off with a magnet.

It doesn't look at all comfortable, is it in anyway comfortable?

The first configuration that looks the most uncomfortable,

it looks like a '90s iMac, you can see all the goods inside.

Like the battery and the wires, but that's covered by smooth

I don't have open wires and batteries, you know.

That kind of made my stomach drop a little bit when I saw that.

Rob damaged his eye when he was nine and in 2009 began exploring

As a film-maker himself, he was fascinated with the idea

It's like an absurd toy for a one-eyed film-maker.

I used to watch the Bionic Man when I was a kid, the $6 Million

I had the action figure, you looked through the back of his head,

I was looking at my Nokia flip phone at the time I was like -

That's in fact who I called, I called Nokia.

They said - well, we'll call the camera module people in China.

It's very small, it's very challenging.

It does visual dropouts, which is the visual language

of all video from the future, including Princess Leia

Since the initial prototype, Rob and his engineers have gone

He now has one eye that glows red when it films and another camera eye

I get calls from and emails from moms whose kid has just lost

an eye, because it's some sort of fun thing to show a kid this

maniac running around on videos and glowing

red eye cameras and stuff. It's fun for them to look at that.

They're now looking working on ways to transfer the technology to other

We're doing 3D scans of those now and then that creates a space that

you can take into software to map on the technology that we're

Some people golf, I like to make fake eye cameras and, you know,

Welcome to the weekend tech. It was the week a group of disgruntled

Twitter users began suing President Donald Trump for blocking them on

Twitter! Facebook announced it is trialling embedded advertising in

its messenger app. Yay, that will go down well with users.

Step aside, PSY, here is Wiz Khalifa, taking the coveted

It has been viewed a staggering 2.9 billion times.

Billionaire Elon Musk launched the new all-electric Tesla Model

At a pricetag of $35,000, it's supposed to be more affordable

than Tesla's previous efforts which cost 100 grand.

Rival automobile company Faraday Future has scrapped

its plans to build a billion-dollar factory in the US state of Nevada.

This leaves a big question mark over the launch next year

No, this is not a digital version of the Ministry of Silly Walks

but this is Google's Deep Mind attempting to learn how to walk.

So far the research is being conducted in virtual environments,

but it could one day help robots learn how to navigate

And, finally, a former Nasa scientist has built a super sized

It's so big, at least you will see him coming.

Almost everyone in the world who works pays tax on the money

But at this restaurant in San Francisco there

are no waiting staff and robots plate the food.

That work is currently not taxable and politician Jane Kim is now

looking into how this is changing the city's economy.

So what we're seeing is after automation that you can

hire less people in order to deliver products maybe quicker

But it's one of the questions that we have, it's true this

is really convenient, but at what cost?

It's not just restaurants, this picture is now seen across the city,

from hotels and hospitals to the latest addition

to the autonomous family, self-driving cars.

Policy makers have noticed, every time a robot takes a human

job, potential tax revenue is being lost.

The research is showing us that jobs are going to get lost over the next

ten years and if before the Great Depression

we could have predicted what would come afterwards,

if government could have prepared for the job loss that occurred,

That is the level at which we are looking at potentially

over the next ten years, in terms of job loss

Estimations of how many jobs will be wiped out vary widely

from study to study, but a recent report especially has

It's estimated that robots will replace 37% of jobs

in the United States by the early 2030s.

So the biggest concern is mass job displacement,

lack of true, meaningful, high wage work.

We are already seeing a decrease of that in San Francisco

where we have the fastest growing income gap in the country

and a wealth gap that is akin to the country of Rwanda,

accord to our own human services agency data

and so we have a shrinking middle-class and we have this

growing imminent threat that many of our meaningful,

working-class and even middle-class jobs may go away

At Cafe X, again a human worker has been replaced by a robot.

An Americano with milk, served by a robot.

Now, the human has a different role, advising on coffee beans and showing

customers how to use the tablet to operate the robot.

The owner is not sure about the idea of a tax on the replacement.

I guess I find it a little odd because what robots are supposed

That means it allows a shift in labour from doing highly

repetitive, low productivity tasks to more useful things.

So in order to have this machine operate, there has to be a lot

of engineers on software, hardware and manufacturing to build

Jobs like this require training and that's what Supervisor Kim wants

If you're a childcare worker or you're an in home

support services worker, working with a senior

or individual with disability, you often work three or four hours

So one of the ideas was, why not tax robots and invest

in these poverty jobs and make them truly living wage

This would mean a robot tax potentially subsidising low paying,

but essential jobs, so that the human employees

Currently, many people are working but not earning enough to live,

leading several politicians around the world to float the idea

This would be expensive for governments and Supervisor Kim

is suggesting an automation tax could be a solution.

If there's one thing that San Francisco is known for,

it's leading the conversation on technology and innovation,

but as harder and harder questions are asked about automation

and what this really means for people's jobs it seems

appropriate that this city, which has added so much

to the problem, is also grappling with what could be the solution.

But the rise of robotic workers is playing out on a global scale

and San Francisco is not the only place trying to lead

In the EU, a proposal to tax robots was voted down earlier in the year

and one of the Commissioners who did so says robots will create more

They are worried because they say robots they will take their jobs,

Progress always created more jobs than progress used to destroy.

The train is moving and speed is high and now it's up to us to be

on that train or to stay and to wave to the leaving train.

Concerns about automation replacing human jobs has been felt

since the Industrial Revolution and more

the manufacturing industry have seen jobs disappear

As the issue of a robot tax begins to spread further,

a fundamental question still needs to be answered -

In the context of robots of course automation is much broader

They gave this definition more than 100 years ago.

Politicians can no longer ignore the robots creeping

into the workplace and while many of the big questions

are still being thrashed out, it's clear that the issue of robot

workers is becoming more and more of a political one.

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

Demands for a crackdown to tackle acid attacks.

A review will be carried out into whether laws

After five attacks in London on Thursday night, campaigners

and the Labour Party say there needs to be change.

Good morning, it is Saturday 15 July.

A call for a more consistent approach to Tower fires.

that they are willing to consider changing rules on the free movement

The further south you are, the temperature is on the rise,

First, our main story: Laws on buying and carrying acid

are to be reviewed by the Government following a spate of attacks

which took place in London on Thursday night.

Five people had corrosive liquid thrown at them,

including one man who is said to have suffered life-changing

But even so, it was a terrifying experience.

Took off my helmet, and I was just screaming for help,

because it was getting dry, and as much as it was getting dry,

I was screaming for water, screaming for help.

Another rider attacked at this location was not so lucky.

He has life-changing injuries to his face.

The Shadow Home Secretary called the attacks horrific and barbaric.

Nobody in their own home needs pure sulphuric acid.

There are different alternatives for cleaning your drains.

No-one should be able to buy sulphuric acid

unless they're a builder or a workman who needs

it in the course of their profession,

The Government says it is working with the police to see what more can

be done to combat the growing menace of acid attacks.

There are calls for a more consistent response to major

incidents from all fire brigades in the UK,

following the Grenfell Tower disaster.

A BBC News investigation found that crew levels and equipment vary

significantly across the country, leading to what the Fire Brigade

Union has described as a postcode lottery.

More than a month on, there is now a clear picture of how

the London Fire Brigade responded to the blaze.

Last week, it emerged it took more than 30 minutes for a high ladder

to arrive after the first fire engine.

Until Grenfell, automatically bringing this piece of equipment

was not part of its predetermined plan.

But a BBC Newsnight investigation has found

that is different from 70% of fire services in the UK with high-rise

The investigation also revealed significant variations in the number

of fire engines dispatched across the country.

It has prompted calls for the Government to implement

mandatory minimum requirements for fire services who are

We have raised concerns about this sort of issue for over a decade.

We used to have national standards of fire cover.

What they are in reality is budget management plans.

We have seen the risk assessments over time,

as budgets are squeezed, the response has declined over

Since Grenfell Tower, four services, including London

and Manchester, have changed their attendance plans,

while nine say they still would not

send an aerial ladder in the first instance.

The Home Office says it is the responsibility of each

fire authority to manage their own resources.

The former Prime Minister Tony Blair has that claimed senior figures

in the EU have told him they are prepared to be flexible

on freedom of movement in order to accommodate Britain after Brexit.

Mr Blair made the claim in an article written

Just last week the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier,

said the freedom of movement of people, goods, services

Our political correspondent Emma Vardy joins us now

You have been looking through this article Mr Blair has risen. What is

he saying, exactly? -- written. The key claim that he makes is that the

EU is now prepared to make concessions on freedom of movement

to accommodate Britain, essentially saying that while Britain could gain

greater control of its borders and bring immigration down while still

remaining within a reformed EU. Some might say this sounds rather like

having your cake and eating it. Where is the evidence that the EU is

prepared to make these concessions? Because, as the rules currently

stand, opting out of freedom of movement means leaving the single

market. But what Tony Blair is saying is, hang on, there could be

another way it here. He is a former prime minister, he doesn't have any

real political power any more. We knew that he was pro- remain. Does

it matter? Is this a serious intervention by him? Well, for some

people Tony Blair is still a big player in politics and his argument

could carry some weight. He can be persuasive, he knows how to make

headlines, and he wants to be seen to be steering the country in a

different way on Brexit. For others, Tony Blair may seem a rather

irrelevant voice in the Brexit debate. He may want to lead the

anti- Brexit fightback and persuade the UK that it is better off in the

EU but he will always face the argument that he is ignoring the

referendum result and ignoring that democratic ballot.

7,000 police officers, soldiers, officials and academics have been

sacked in Turkey, where a national holiday is being held to mark

the first anniversary of a failed attempt to remove President Erdogan.

The authorities have accused them of being members of terrorist

organisations or of groups working against the national interest.

150,000 people have now been arrested or sacked

There are plans to extend a scheme which allows members of the public

to call for harsher sentences in England and Wales.

The unduly lenient sentence scheme already covers serious terror

offences and crimes such as murder and rape.

The Ministry of Justice now wants it to apply to people who have been

convicted of offences such as encouraging terrorism.

We've been looking at this for some time.

A lot of work has gone into it.

We are making sure there is a system in place for the victims of terror

offences, that they are properly checked.

Also, making sure that those who wilfully and culpably turn

a blind eye to terrorist activity feel the full force of the law.

A man has died after being attacked by a man on mopeds. He was

pronounced dead at the scene. His family have been informed and no

arrests have been made. Wages are increasing

at their slowest rate for five years, which is hitting young

families in particular, The Resolution Foundation,

which analyses living standards, says average income growth halved

to 0.7% in the year before the general election,

as our business correspondent When Theresa May became

Prime Minister a year ago, she promised

to work hardest for those But a year later, those so-called

JAMs have seen the rate at which their incomes

grow more than halved. It stood at 1.6% but just before

the general election it Before the financial crisis in 2008,

incomes had grown an average rate Incomes for younger families,

though, have not risen While pensioner incomes have grown

by 30% in that time due The big winners are those

with mortgages, who have seen the interest rate on their mortgage

come down significantly. And if they've stayed in their jobs,

yes, they may not get the earnings gain they wanted,

but they have benefited Young people are still 10% lower

than where they were and if they are renting, there is even more

pressure on the budget. While average households have

seen their income stagnate of late, the wealthiest 1% of the population

are said to have the largest-ever A shortlist of five contenders has

happens every four years. The winner will be

announced in December. New York is well-known

for being a ruthless and competitive place, but this could be

going a bit too far. It is the city's annual Baby Race,

The hunt for treatments to halt Alzheimer's disease has so far been

largely unsuccessful, with most clinical trials

But a group of scientists say they may be close to doing

for Alzheimer's what statins have done for heart disease,

through researching people with an unusually high genetic risk

We will find out a bit more in just a moment,

but first, let's hear from one of the people taking part

I am so he, and my family has a very rare genetic form of Alzheimer's

which means that I can develop Alzheimer's in the next couple of

years -- Sophie. As of this I am very much involved in Alzheimer's

research and passionate about finding a cure. My mum started

showing signs of Alzheimer's in her 40s, and because her sister had had

it as well and a really young age, we found out that there was a

genetic link. And that meant that we had a chance, all of the children of

that generation had a 50- 50 chance of getting it. I decided not to find

out. I need that hope that I might not have it, and I am not ready to

potentially have that taken away from me at the moment, and they know

for certain what the indications are for my daughter. So for now I have

chosen not to be tested. I started the drugs trial almost three years

ago now. They are testing experimental drugs. I go down to

London every four weeks. I love what I am doing. I feel in a really...

What could be a very dark thing, there is this hope. And I do believe

that me and that families like mine that get involved in research are

going to be part of finding a cure. Let's speak now to Dr Randy Bateman,

who is professor of neurology at Washington University School

of Medicine, in St Louis. Thank you very much for talking to

us this morning. Sophie made it very clear that that the problem now with

identifying Alzheimer's and preventing Alzheimer's is the

diagnosis before and treatment before the disease takes hold.

That's exactly right. And so these families potentially hold the cure,

for a wafer us to identify those who are at certain risk for getting the

disease, and being able to test drugs and therapies to see if we can

prevent the disease from coming on in the first place -- way for us. If

that is successful, it could lead to a prevention effort that can be used

by everybody. What I suppose is discouraging about this research is

that there is a very small number of people who can be identified for

inheriting the disease, and still those who develop it without family

history, the treatment is still very lacking. That's right, and so those

who have these mutations are spread geographically around the world and

at this year's Alzheimer 's meeting here in London, they are gathering

over 150 family participants. So although these families are quite

rare, it is important to remember that they have a genetic

predisposition which causes them to have the certainty of getting the

disease. And that certainty allows us to treat people years or even

decades before their symptoms began. And in so doing, we think we have

the opportunity to stop the Alzheimer 's pathology from taking

hold and damaging the brain. It is quite difficult to conceive this

idea of treating something that hasn't begun yet. How do you prove

the success of that treatment? It is commonly done in medicine, where we

treat diseases long before they take all and cause damage. For example,

high blood pressure of cholesterol. We screened the general population,

looking for people who have these as risk factors for heart attacks and

strokes. And so we now have the ability to see their signatures of

Alzheimer's disease before they get sick and before significant brain

damage occurs. So if we are able to use that combination of bio markers

with a genetic predisposition that these families hold, it can lead to

a prevention effort where we can screen everyone with the bio markers

for Alzheimer's disease, treat them for -- with the medication and

prevent them from getting the disease. It is a very frustrating

field of research, in the sense that those with the disease now are still

seeing sales treatments or unsuccessful treatments so far. How

confident are you that this could perhaps lead to treating those who

are currently dealing with the disease? There are multiple avenues

being taken to treat the disease, both for those before they had

symptoms, as well as those who already had symptoms and those

individuals are included in these trials as well. What we don't know

yet is when is the optimal time to intervene and with what drug and on

which way? Although it is frustrating that over the past ten

years there have been failures in clinical trials, the trials continue

to point to us that we are making progress, we can now intervene in

the Alzheimer's pathology in the brain itself and there are signs

that this is helping people's cognition in thinking that in later

stage trials we may be able to demonstrate significant benefits. So

I would say there's a great amount of hope among researchers and

families that we have a shot to change the course of this disease.

Thank you very much for your time and for giving us a clear

explanation of going on in this area of research.

The main stories this morning: There's to be a review of the laws

on buying and carrying acid, following Thursday night's

Also coming up in the programme: Look at this for a selfie!

We've been to meet the youngest ever woman to fly with the Thunderbirds

and she only had her first flying lesson a year ago.

Not only is she the youngest woman to fly with them, she takes a selfie

when she is how high up in the air? So confident!

Incredible. I saw some lovely blue sky. I wonder

what it will be like today. Good morning. Good morning. A lot of

cloud in the UK this morning and we will have rain working from east to

west. Today looks like the wetter day. It is warm and muggy, which

this warm air coming in from the Atlantic, but it is also coming in

with a breeze and some cloud and outbreaks of rain. It will always be

wettest across the western side of Scotland. Northern England will be

wettest through this morning and by the afternoon things are turning a

little bit drier. A little bit of rain possible towards the south-east

of England. Many southern counties should be fine. It stays pretty dry

in the central and western parts of Scotland. The eastern side of

Scotland has something drier developing. More rain working ever

southwards through the afternoon. Northern England, the wettest

through this morning. Some drier spells through the afternoon, at

still grey and stamp on the western side of the Pennines and western

Wales. Light rain, drizzle and low cloud into the afternoon. Southern

counties staying dry. The spot of light rain in the south-east of

England, but largely wet weather in east The potential for rain early

this afternoon, but it should be drier later at Wimbledon. And a bit

warmer. Fairly humid into tomorrow. Through this evening we have this

weather front sweeping south, bringing rain away from Northern

Ireland and Scotland and into parts of Wales and the south-west. Tony

little bit more fresh further north, at 12- 13 degrees. The fresh air

will slowly sink south through the day. That's behind this cloud and

increasingly patchy rain, which will be there in the southern half of the

UK. A lot of low cloud as well in associations with that, so a pretty

dull day and damper. Behind that we have good spells of sunshine coming

through. Breezy in the north of Scotland, but many places will be

dry and fine. Temperatures in the other teams and feeling fresher, but

further south it is warm and humid. So a changeable weekend. The best of

the sunshine in the northern half of the UK through tomorrow.

What do you make of these temperatures in Europe, Spain in

particular? 47 degrees! Good you cope with that? Near

record-breaking heat. It could be record-breaking in Spain. Dangerous

levels, at 47 Celsius. Extraordinary. I'm sure we won't see

anything like that here. A heatwave across southern

Europe is fuelling fires, exacerbating droughts and forcing

the closure of tourist sites Several Spanish cities have

experienced record temperatures for July, with Montoro in Cordoba

reaching more than 47 degrees At the Acropolis in Athens

the mercury hit 39 degrees While in Italy and Sicily,

temperatures have topped 40 degrees. The combination of heat and strong

winds has fuelled large wildfires including on the slopes

of Mount Vesuvius near Naples We're joined now on Skype

by Miguel-Ancho Murado, Good morning and thanks for joining

us. I bet early in the morning is the best time, before it gets too

hot? Yes. In fact we have now 23 Celsius and that is the coolest we

can expect today. Today is not going to be the hottest day at all. The

maximum will be 32 degrees Celsius. We had 40 yesterday. And this is in

Madrid, in the south of Spain they are having over 40 Celsius everyday.

As you said, even 47.3! What sort of impact is that having on life? Life

can't go on as normal in those sorts of temperatures, can they? What can

you do? Yes, of course everything slows down considerably. You can't

walk in the middle hours of the day. You can't sleep, it is very

difficult to sleep, and those of us not blessed with air-conditioning,

we really struggled to get some sleep at night. And of course you

have to carry a bottle of water with you everywhere you go because the

heat retention is a real danger. Here in the chilly, wet UK, we are

not blessed with great summers much of the time, but we tend to think

that Spain always has hot summers come but this is unusually hot,

isn't it? It is. Spain has a very diverse climate. The north of Spain

is actually as cool in some parts as Britain itself. Where I come from,

the north-west, has basically the same weather as England. But, yes,

generally Spain is hot. Heatwaves are not unusual. They are a feature

of our climate. They happen almost every year. But what we see is that

in the last decade they are longer and this one is the most intense on

record, at least since there is a consistent record of heatwaves,

since 1976. I believe you to get a wet flannel and yourself off! Thank

you very much for joining us for now. Let's go to what must be the

best backdrop of the day! Our correspondent in Athens. A lovely

shot. What's the weather like in Athens? Earlier this month we got to

43. On Wednesday it was 39. Given this is the most popular landmark in

the whole of Greece behind me, the Acropolis, that's the problem with

it as well. It is effectively on the rocks, so if you are exposed in the

afternoon there are problems. It closed for the whole of Wednesday

afternoon. For the locals in Greece, they get a sense that you don't

generally go to the Acropolis in the afternoon, but it is for tourists.

It's not just here, there are other sites as well. The big famous

tracking site, again shut down. The issue is there are so many famous

well-known sites in Greece, on the island as well. In Lesbos the

archaeological sites had to be shut down. It is relatively infrequent.

These temperatures have been on the upper 40s. Today, like in Spain, I

can wear a jacket, it is cooler, and it is expected to be like that for

the week ahead. What we are heading into August. These are slightly

unprecedented for the past couple of years. A bit of relief today. What

sort of advice for people heading on holidays to places like Greece? AB

the islands, rather than the cities. What are we being told to do, apart

from just 80 more bottles of water? I think both here and in Italy as

well. In Italy we have similar temperatures as Spain, where they

have above 40. There were fires and 700 tourists were evacuated from a

beach resort. The mountain close to Naples, the fire at the foot of the

mountains... Italian authorities say it may have been set alight

purposefully. I think the basic advice you would think everyone

would do, people don't. People get dehydrated, they forget to drink

water. A lot of people come here to this famous sites, 2 million people

come to see the Acropolis every year, bring water, keeping the

shade. If you walk in exposed areas, don't wear a jacket. Be loose and

cool. We don't have such concerns over here! At thank you for the

advice. It's not that hard this week.

But not that good either. Which would you choose? I would much

prefer here. It is dangerous for a lot of people.

The US Air Force Thunderbirds team is mostly made up

Now 20-year-old Beth Moran has become the youngest ever woman

to fly alongside them and she only had her first flying

She took up flying last year because she wanted to do something

positive following the Shoreham air disaster, as Ben Moore reports.

Coping with a force nearly ten times that of gravity is not bad for a

novice pilot. Beth Moran is the youngest ever woman to fly with the

Thunderbirds, despite having had her first flying lesson just over a year

ago. Now she is in an F-16 belonging to the top American aerial display

team. All right. Up over the top... Beth wanted to do something to lift

spirits after the Shorham air disaster, she learned to fly. She

had contact with the Thunderbirds on social media, asking if they would

take up. She was unsurprisingly impressed. It still feels surreal

that I went up in an air -- an F-16 and pulled 9.2 G. It is an

experience I will never forget. For being part of such a select team,

she got her name on the plane. Around of applause and a friend

photo. But this just has to be the best selfie ever!

Thumbs up. She spent just a year learning. She got her name on a

plane, the certificate and she got to fly with the Thunderbirds.

Williams! Well done. Now, could Mike top that? He has done some pretty

amazing things. I don't think it could topic today.

He is looking ahead to the action today on for the ladies' final.

I have done everything, but never again. My stomach was left behind in

the skies above London. Hats off to them. It is an incredible skill to

cope with all of those G-force is. It is the final day for the ladies

and the penultimate day for our challenge. Look at that! Despite the

pressure, see how David Haye got on when he took on the challenge. We

are mainly focusing on the women's final. Ken Venus Williams at the age

of 37 we come the oldest winner of the title? In fact the oldest winner

since 1908, when a woman won at the age of 37. Are we different times of

course. Talking of veterans on centre court, Roger Federer will be

there tomorrow trying to win the title for the eighth time against

marriage village and later on Breakfast I will tell you we are

guaranteed a winner! See what I have to put up with? We are guaranteed a

British winner in the mixed doubles tomorrow. That's all to come

tomorrow. Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay. Coming up before 8:00am: Jay

will have the weather. But first, at 7:30am,

a summary of this morning's main Laws on buying and carrying

acid are to be reviewed by the Government, following attacks

which took place in London Five people had corrosive

liquid thrown at them, including one man who is said

to have suffered life-changing Two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16,

remain in custody on suspicion of robbery and grievous

bodily harm with intent. 20% of fire brigades across the UK

still won't automatically send a tall ladder to a fire

in a high-rise block of flats, Under its policy at the time,

the London brigade didn't send an aerial ladder

immediately to the blaze. It is thought the equipment might

have helped crews restrict It has now led to concerns

about discrepancies between local The former Prime Minister Tony Blair

has that claimed senior figures in the EU have told him

they are prepared to be flexible on freedom of movement in order

to accommodate Britain after Brexit. Mr Blair made the claim

in an article written Just last week the EU's chief

negotiator, Michel Barnier, said the freedom of movement

of people, goods, services There are plans to extend a scheme

which allows members of the public to call for harsher sentences

in England and Wales. The unduly lenient sentence scheme

already covers serious terror offences and crimes such

as murder and rape. The Ministry of Justice now wants it

to apply to people who have been convicted of offences such

as encouraging terrorism. Wages are increasing

at their slowest rate for five years, which is hitting young

families in particular, The Resolution Foundation,

which analyses living standards, says average income growth halved

to 0.7% in the 12 months before last A shortlist of five contenders has

been announced in the race to be UK City of Culture 2021,

taking over from Hull. Coventry, Paisley, Sunderland,

Swansea and Stoke-on-Trent are all still in the running to host

the yearlong celebration of art and performance, which

happens every four years. The winner will be

announced in December. Those are the main stories, so we

have to talk to Mike at Wimbledon. He is having a bit of fun at

Wimbledon. I cannot lend him. Where are you, Mike? You are joining me

live in the undergrowth, the beautiful reeds, the bushes, the

magnificent flowers, I have gone all Sir David Attenborough. He was here

yesterday on centre court and we are looking for something so rat, which

hasn't been seen since 1908, a 37-year-old winner of the ladies'

title. That is what Venus Williams is trying to do today. Also, talking

of veterans on centre court, we must also focus on Roger Federer. He is

into the men's final tomorrow. He beat Tomas Berdych in straight

sets to book his 11th Wimbledon final, as he looks for a record

19th Grand Slam title. I feel privileged to

be in another final. I know how much it means to so many

players to be able to go out on centre court at Wimbledon at any

time in their career and I have had This time in another

final, it is so good. Looking to spoil Federer's party

on centre court tomorrow is Marin The seventh seed came

through a tough four-set semi-final Cilic is into his second major final

after winning the 2014 US Open. Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis

are through to the mixed doubles final, after beating

Marcelo Demoliner and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez in straights

sets on centre court. And waiting for them

are Heather Watson and Henri They beat Bruno Soares

and Elena Vesnina 2-1. So that means Britain

is guaranteed success, Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett

are back in the hunt for another Wimbledon title, after Britain's

star wheelchair tennis double act After early defeats in the singles

for the British pair, they rebounded as a team

with victory over Argentinian Gustavo Fernandez and

Japan's Shingo Kunieda. Away from the tennis,

Hannah Cockcroft set a new world record at the World Para Athletics

Championships in London last night. Cockroft won the 100 metre T34

gold in 17.18 seconds. And it was a British one-two,

as 16-year-old Kare Adenegan came The noise is so loud,

we have not had that To be able to go in and put

in such a good performance, it means so much and hopefully

that's a sign of a good And Gemma Prescott won GB's third

medal of the tournament, with bronze in the F32 club

final for seated athletes Prescott's best throw

was 19.97 metres. South Africa are 309-6 after day one

of the second Test at Trent Bridge. Hashim Amla top-scored

for the tourists, with 78. But England picked up four wickets,

including his, in the last session The last time that we played here

and older we bowled rather well. So I think was important

that whatever we did, They applied themselves

well, credit to them. 170 odd for two, as I say, they were

excellent. There are eight stages to go

at the Tour de France, and Chris Froome will start

this morning in white, rather than yellow,

for a second day. He is still six seconds behind

Fabio Aru, but he says he is enjoying racing to try

and take the yellow jersey back. It was actually quite a great

feeling to have to go out there and try to race for a win

today, as opposed to racing defensively and having the pressure

of defending the jersey. It was nice to have the shoe

on the other foot. It has been a difficult few

weeks for Rory McIlroy. He has been struggling for form,

and he has now missed the cut It means he misses the weekend's

play for the third time England's Callum Shinkwin

is in a three-way tie for the lead, on nine-under-par,

with Ian Poulter a shot back. Celtic have beaten Northern Irish

side Linfield 2-0 in a Champions League qualifier

in Belfast, Scott Sinclair and Tom Rogic scoring the goals

for Brendan Rodgers's side. Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor

were in London last night promoting their much-anticipated

boxing match at the end of August. Like the three events before it,

it was a highly charged affair, but challenger Conor Mcgregor

says he can't wait to He could have rode off into the

sunset 45- zero. Instead, this is my first time in the ring and in six

weeks I will run boxing. And, of course, it is the ladies'

final here at Wimbledon. There is coverage across the BBC,

starting at 11:00am on BBC Two, from 2:00pm on BBC Radio 5 Live

and on the BBC Sport website. As I was saying earlier, I don't

think this will happen on centre court today. Kim Clijsters was

asking the crowd how she should serve. So the crowd said do serve.

She gets a skirt out of her bag, and a T-shirt, and it takes a little

time but he manages just about to squeeze into this outfits, which

apparently I have been told is a skort. He still manages to return

the Kim Clijsters body serve, so he goes really well. I did not know

that that was a skort, I had never heard of that before. Do you know

why it is colder skort? Women wear them for golf, and maybe some men

wear them. It is because you have shorts inside the skirt, because

they are often quite short, the skirt, so you have shorts inside to

protect your dignity, but they are also very comfortable. Very

practical, by the sound of it. I like the sound of a skort. I will

have a bit of a shop around. Lovely seeing you in amongst the foliage,

you did a very good impression. He was here yesterday, he was really

enjoying the tennis. It always takes your breath away, the perfection

that they achieved with everything that they do here at Wimbledon,

including the flowers. Almost symmetry, isn't it? The way they

match and blend together, it is beautiful. And the Wimbledon

colours. Goes nicely with his tie. Identifying inherited heart

conditions can save lives, but many of us don't know

that we are carrying the gene that Sir David Frost had the condition,

and while it didn't cause his death he did pass it on to one of his sons

Miles who died at the age Now, his family are trying to help

other people find out Our correspondent

Chris Buckler reports. In every child, you can find

something of their parents, and often

inherited alongside looks and characteristics are things that

can't be seen. Miles Frost shared with his father

David a gene responsible for a heart condition that led

to his sudden death. For your 31-year-old brother to die,

suddenly and unexpectedly, And I'll never get over the pain

of learning that for the first time. Miles loved sport, and he seemed

extremely healthy, but he died His brothers have now

set up a fund which, along with the British Heart

Foundation, is paying for people to be tested for an inherited

heart condition. Miles would have had

to adapt his life and stop playing sport,

but at least he would be with us. Now, that didn't happen,

and we can look back and we can complain about that,

or we can look forward and make sure it doesn't happen again

for the people. Sports clubs are starting to get

to grips with how to deal It is impossible to simply spot

who might have an inherited condition on the pitch,

but the Gaelic Athletic Association says being aware of the disability

could save someone's life. We've a couple of sudden deaths

within our own club, and it has been shocking,

and we will go back to looking at just giving

advice to people. That doesn't necessarily mean not

taking part in sport. It is just changing

what they do on the field. Most of the risk is thought to be

associated with high-intensity So we would normally

steer people away This is one of six centres across

the country to be given funding. They will employ staff not just

for families who have this gene, which is known as HCM,

but also to offer Moira has been identified

a football and rugby-mad teenager. Rugby is a no-no, but he can play

in nets, provided there's the lower Golf he can't continue with,

which he also loves. The bottomline is it is better

that he knows and that we can make those adjustments in his life,

and to live with the condition It is thought tens of thousands

of people are carrying the gene in the UK, and targeted screening

is at the heart of attempts to make sure they live long

and active lives. In one hour we will talk to adopt

about that condition and about diagnosing and detecting it.

The main stories this morning: There's to be a review of the laws

on buying and carrying acid, following Thursday night's

There are demands for the Uk's fire brigades to adopt a more consistent

response to major incidents after the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Here's Jay with a look at this morning's weather.

That's a lovely picture. What does that signify? It is a bit of a mixed

bag this weekend. Expect some rain. Most of it will be today. It will be

warm and fairly muddy. We have this wedge of warm air coming in from the

athletic, but that comes in with some weather fronts and a bit of a

breeze. It will always be a dull and damp day in Scotland. In northern

England as the rain will be most noticeable through the morning.

Patchy rain in the Midlands, but most will clear in the afternoon. It

stays windy and wet across the western side of Scotland well into

the afternoon. The eastern side of Scotland should have some brighter

spells developing into the afternoon. Staying cloudy in

Northern Ireland. Rain working south. In northern England it tends

to dry up, but we will also have low cloud on the western side of the

Pennines. The western side of Wales as drizzle into the afternoon.

Largely dry. Cos, maybe the odd spot of rain in the London and the early

afternoon, but a lot of dry weather in and around the Wimbledon area.

Dry but what rather cloudy and warmer tomorrow, still humid.

Through this evening and overnight the rain eventually clears from

Scotland and Northern Ireland, moving south. Low cloud in the

western parts of England and Wales, with light rain and drizzle. The

warm night in the south of the UK. Temperatures dropping away.

Something fresher in the north of Scotland. It is that fresher air in

the north of the UK which will eventually win out. It is coming in

behind this band of cloud and increasingly patchy rain. Behind it,

much brighter skies. Still breezy in northern Scotland. The odd spot of

rain along this weather front, which continues south. It remains humid in

the south of the UK into tomorrow. It is fresh, 17- 19 the further

north you happen to be. Thanks very much.

Never mind the many hours of live action on BBC One and BBC Two,

the tournament has featured strongly over the past two weeks

on Breakfast, the News Channel and news bulletins.

There have been features on the famously long queue

for spectators to get into Wimbledon, the condition

of Andy Murray's dodgy hip and discussion of the baby his wife

A number of injuries sustained by other players in matches,

the state of the grass on court and of course the progress

of our great British singles hopes, all lapped up by the aficionados.
