We have the weather for Sunday. Hello, Sarah. It is another

unsettled day to day. There is sunshine and the forecast but also

heavy downpours. I will have all the details in 15 minutes.

Police in Australia say they've foiled an Islamist-inspired plot

to bring down an aircraft with an improvised device.

The Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said the plot

appeared to be "elaborate", rather than planned by a lone wolf.

Investigators in Australia say they had information about a plot to blow

up an aircraft involving the use of an improvised device. Four men have

been detained following raids across Sydney by heavily armed police and

members of Australia's domestic spy agency. It is reported the operation

was not planned, but a rapid response to a tipoff. The Prime

Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said the authorities have foiled what appears

to be an elaborate conspiracy. I can report last night that there has

been a major joint counterterrorism operation to disrupt a terrorist

plot to bring down an aeroplane. The operation is continuing. The woman

who said her son and husband were among those arrested in Sydney has

denied they had any links to extremism. But senior police

commanders say the raids were part of an alleged Islamic inspired plot.

Additional security measures have been put in place of domestic and

international airports around the country. Australia's national terror

threat level remains at probable, which means the intelligence

agencies believe that groups are individuals have the intent and

capability to carry out an attack. Since 2014, 70 people have been

charged as a result of over 30 counterterrorism raids across the

country. A record number of criminals have

had their sentences increased under a scheme which allows members

of the public to ask for them Last year, 141 criminals

in England and Wales The government says it wants

to extend the scheme to include Sarah stabbed a man to death in

November 2014. She was convicted of manslaughter and given a frequent

five-year jail sentence. Her neighbour, Michael, was a convicted

paedophile and Sam, a mother of five, claims she lost control,

stabbing him. It was in January last year that the punishment was

considered to be unduly lenient. Judges say that because she took a

knife to his flat she must have intended to cause serious harm and

her sentence was doubled. 141 criminals have had their sentences

are creased, according to the attorney generals office. Be unduly

lenient scheme allows them to the public to query sentences. More

people are doing just that. Increases are up. Sex offences are

the highest number of cases where sentences were increased and some

who had escaped prison and now serving time behind bars. The scheme

will be widened to include an extra 19 convictions. The number sentences

that are increased represent a tiny proportion of the 80,000 cases heard

every single year. The Attorney General will be joining

us after seven o'clock. Donald Trump has again criticised

China over its relations with North On Twitter he accused China

of making hundreds of billions of dollars from trade

but doing nothing to tackle His comments come after North Korea

carried out its second major missile The US air force says two

of its bomber planes have flown over More than 20,000 people have been

evacuated from a music festival in Spain after a huge fire engulfed

part of the main stage. The fire broke out at

the Tomorrowland Unite festival near Barcelona, organisers

say it was caused by This was not the sort of spectacle

that thousands who had come here had been expecting. This stage that this

dance music festival in Dos and Barcelona lit up by a giant fire.

Initially some took photos, perhaps they thought it was part of the

show. But if these were pyrotechnics, they appeared was gone

badly wrong. Very soon, the audience was cleared. Thousands quickly moved

to safety. There are no reports that anyone was injured. People ran

towards the exit. There was no panic but many people were inside the

festival at this hour. The firefighters took 30 minutes or so

to put the fire out and the police also took time to get all the people

of the staged. Tomorrowland Unite is a multi- venue festival held in

eight different countries including Spain. The location there was

Barcelona, the concert taking place in a park in the north of the city.

An unfortunate end to what should have been a great night. But with no

apparent death or injury and, things could have been so much worse.

Cabinet divisions over Brexit have surfaced again.

Our political correspondent Emma Vardy is in our London studio.

Emma, this time there's been a differences of

Of course freedom of movement was one of the key aspects of the Brexit

campaign, ending the right for European citizens to come and live

in Britain in unlimited numbers and all that talk about taking back

control of our borders. The question that is dividing opinion now is

whether freedom of movement can and immediately when we Brexit in March

2019 or whether, in reality, ending that immediately is just not going

to be possible. The Chancellor has said that it will be sometime before

we will be able to introduce formal migration controls between the UK

and the EU and he suggests it will need to change gradually in some

sort of transitional phase that we. But in today's Sunday Times it is

clear that the opinion of the International trade Secretary, Liam

Fox, is rather different. He's the unregulated free movement of people

between the K and the EU after Brexit would not keep faith with the

results of the EU referendum. He said he has not been party to any

Cabinet discussion about a transitional arrangement which keeps

immigration rules same or similar to the way they are now. It is clear

that there is general agreement that there will need to be some sort of

transitional arrangement after Brexit what we are seeing its key

divisions between Cabinet ministers are bowed their vision for exactly

how this will work. We have plenty more in the papers as well and we

will come to that later. The Scottish Government has called

for Scotch to be defined in UK law in order to protect whisky

exports after Brexit. Holyrood is concerned that

any future trade deal with the United States might

allow American firms Our business correspondent

Joe Lynam reports Under EU rules of origin, any spirit

described as Scotch whiskey must be aged released three years and

matured in Scotland. That the Scottish government says the US

negotiators during the recent trade talks with the EU had wanted this

definition to be relaxed to accommodate its whiskey makers. So

now Holyrood wants the EU definition of Scotch to be incorporated into UK

law after Brexit. That is because whiskey making supports 20,000 jobs

and is worth ?4 billion to Scotland. We have to make absolutely certain

that any deal done with the US protects Scottish jobs. Is if that

deal does not protect the definition of whiskey, a spirit matured for

three years or more, it weakens it definition and we will lose Scottish

jobs in the will whiskey industry. 10,000 jobs depend on, 10,000 in the

supply chain. So we tell Liam Fox, to protect the Scottish whiskey

industry, don't sell it away. A spokesperson for the Department of

International trade which co-ordinates future deals says that

Scots is a UK export success story and will support the industry so

continues to thrive and prosper post Brexit. Whiskey maybe the water of

life but it might also give London and Edinburgh a headache in trade

terms, at least. Events to mark the 100th anniversary

of the battle of Passchendaele - one of the bloodiest

of the First World War get under Half a million Allied and German

soldiers were killed, wounded or went missing

during the campaign. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

will be among those attending the commemorations over

the next two days. Honolulu has become the first major

US city to ban pedestrians from looking at mobile phones,

texting or using digital devices Are they banning it completely?!

Yes, but there are special rules. The measure, which will take effect

in Hawaii's largest city in October, is aimed at reducing

injuries and deaths Fines start at 11 pounds and go up

to 75 pounds for repeat offenders. Urgent calls to the emergency

services are exempt from the ban. It stops those zombie people

walking... Get in touch with us about that this morning. By the way,

discussing presence for teachers morning as well. -- gifts for

teachers. It's not unusual for a pupil to give

a favourite teacher a nice letter or some chocolates at the end

of term, but how about This sweet gift used chocolate bars

instead of some of the words 'Thank you for turning me

into a real SMARTIES this year. 'You have given my

learning a real BOOST. 'It's the summer holidays now

so TWIRL with excitement and take The lucky recipient, Rob Hathway,

at Watermore Primary School in Bristol, said he was delighted

with the present and was planning Send us your suggestions for what

else could add be added to that letter as well. Is a look at the

newspapers this morning. Much on paper this morning as you would

expect. Yes, front pages. First of all, the politics of the day at the

front page of the Sunday Telegraph. We mention this already, divisions

within the Cabinet over transitional arrangements of the exit from the

EU. Debate about how migration is managed. You may have picked up this

week that Amber Rudd was saying we need a soft gradual arrangement so

there is no cliff edge when we leave the EU in terms of migration policy

which may impact on the economy. Other parts of the Brexit supporting

members of the Cabinet have said, actually, we want to be quite clear,

it is about taking back control of our borders. The foiled terror

attack in Australia came too late to make many papers but the Sunday

Times dedicates a lot of the cover there to the life of brides under

Islamic State. Also Gunnerside here, the government strip 150 jihadists

of the UK passports. There was concerned that the collapse of ISO

will lead to an influx of militants returning Syria to the UK vixen

ministers are saying they are removing passports to try and

prevent them returning to the country. And quickly from inside the

papers, given that it is breakfasttime you may already be

tucking into your serial. It is all about porridge. We have known for a

while that porridge is good to for you but it could be the secret to a

long life. You have a little stash of porridge there are, waiting for

the break. That's what he does when the cameras move off the. The secret

to a long life according to the newspapers this morning. I will save

that for the break. It is 14 minutes past eight and this is BBC

Breakfast. Counterterrorism police in Australia say they have thwarted

a plot to bring down an aeroplane. Four people have been arrested

following raids across Sydney. Phil Mercer joins us

from Sydney now. because there are few details. The

Federal police along with the state police here in New South Wales, and

members of the spy agencies here raided a number of houses across

Sydney on Saturday, detaining four men. The head of the Australian

Federal Police said that specific details as to date, time and

location and specific targets were not available, he was not willing to

Diebold that information. What we have heard -- Diebold. The

authorities have said -- divulge. The authorities have said they have

found material at one of these locations capable of making a bomb.

There are four men in custody, they can be held to the best part of a

week without charge, and the result is stricter security at airports. We

are hearing of a very long queues from Sydney and other domestic and

international airports around the country. I wanted to ask you about

that response, the terrorist threat in Australia remains at the

"Probable" level, is there any indication that will change? It may

do in the coming days. The "Probable" category is in the middle

of Australia's national tariff threat categories, the authorities

believe that individuals or groups have the intent or capability to

carry out the attack in this country. The Justice Minister said

in the last couple of hours that since 2014 the authorities have

thought of more than a dozen alleged terrorism plot. So this is a country

that remains extremely vigilant, and one would imagine that in the next

few days and possibly weeks, while this current investigation

continues, or information will come out and perhaps Australia's terror

threat level will rise. But of course we will have to wait and see.

Thank you very much. Let's take a look at the weather. I

did manage to catch some sun the last few days? I think if he -- iffy

is the right word. This picture was taken yesterday, a glorious picture

of the weather in Orkney. We had some sunshine but some clouds and a

similar picture today. Overnight there was some really heavy rain,

here is the radar from overnight, some heavy rain across the

south-east of England, the London region, now pushing its way across

the east coast. An improving picture compare to the overnight heavy rain,

still some heavy showers, this is across Scotland and Northern

Ireland. Some brightness in between the showers and then that moving

very quickly. Still some rain around Northumberland through the course of

the next few hours, but heading our way, south across England and Wales,

not too bad to start the day. There should be one of two showers across

western parts of Wales, south-west England, mostly dry through the

Midlands and the south-east. Revenues at the Oval today as the

third test continues, a bit more clout through the afternoon and a

chance of a few showers. -- retinues. Some of the showers across

northern and western areas could be heavy, some lightning and thunder

around, and those showers drift in their way further eastwards. The far

south-east should avoid showers, Mark -- largely dry for Kent and

Sussex, 17- 21. Showers continue into the evening for many of us,

easing overnight. We still have low pressure sitting to the north-west

of the UK, driving into the shower that continue on into Monday

morning. Temperatures down to around 12- 14 degrees to start Monday, and

at low pressure still dominates, especially towards the north-west,

and the showers coming in off the Atlantic, are pretty similar dated

today and tomorrow where we are again looking at sunshine and

showers, but the showers more confined to the south-western --

north-western half of the UK, not quite as bleak as today, driest in

the south-east, that is one or two degrees warmer. Into Tuesday a small

area of high pressure for a time and the next area of low pressure piles

in through the middle of the week, things are once again turning wet

and windy at the time we get to Wednesday. That is not what we asked

for. Very disappointed. Don't shoot the messenger.

Now it's time to have a look at this summer's newest film releases,

with Jane Hill and film critic, James King.

Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this week's cinema releases,

I'm joined by James King, while Mark takes a summer break.

What have you been watching this week?

First up, it feels like ages since there has been a new,

It is called the The Big Sick and I will tell you about that.

From Australia, Hounds of Love, this is a brutal true

And a big hit in the States, this one, it stars Queen Latifah

Now, probably no one has missed all the publicity for The Big Sick.

Really interesting interviews everywhere

First, you can see on the poster, Kumail Nanjiani is the writer

and the star and it's written it with his partner, Emily Gordon,

about their life, how they got together, The real-life romance.

The big difference between them is Kumail is originally

from Pakistan, moved to Chicago with his family, quite a traditional

Pakistani Muslim family, whereas Emily is white American,

from this academic and eccentric family.

That is the chalk and cheese dynamic that every good

romantic comedy needs. Yes.

That is at the centre of it but then people are saying,

There is also an illness which happens to one

There's a lot happening in the film, a lot of story.

The clip is from the beginning of the movie.

Kumail is trying to make it as a stand-up comedian and he meets

Emily, played by Zoe Kazan, for the first time.

Hi. Hi, hello.

My name's Kumail. We know.

Now that the niceties are out of the way, I have to tell you that

when you yelled at me, it really threw me off.

You really should not heckle comedians, it's so rude.

I just woo-hooed you, it's supportive.

Yelling anything at a comedian is considered heckling.

So if I yelled out, like, "You are amazing in bed",

Yeah, that would be an accurate heckle.

Goodbye. I'm going.

I think Kumail and Emily, the writers, are inspired by the greats.

They've said they were inspired by Richard Curtis, Annie Hall

and Tootsie so if you are inspired by those movies,

Tootsie is one of my favourite films!

What was really good about it, a lot of people have said,

is this some statement about the politics of America

and racial relations in America right now,

It is a personal story, not a political story.

It is a true story about two people getting together.

Is there anything in talking about interracial couples,

which doesn't get talked about a lot?

That is a refreshing thing about this film,

it is in there, but it is not trying to make a larger statement.

It is just about what happened to them.

He's in it, he wrote it, he stars in it but it is not too

self-serving, it's more affectionate than that?

Absolutely, it is very affectionate and there's a lovely relationship

between Kumail and Emily's parents, Holly Hunter and Ray Romano.

Ray Romano, I know from a sitcom and one of the voices in Ice Age.

I didn't really expect him to be as good as he is.

In this comedy is really showing us he is a good actor as well.

I think he could be possibly up for some awards

She is just nuts in this and brilliantly so.

How lovely to go into the summer after a hard year with something

We have not had a new, fresh romantic comedy for a while.

People seems to think we know all the tropes,

we know how they work, all the cliches but this actually,

it has a romantic comedy framework but it is doing new things.

I'll put it out there, I have read lots about it but I know

Explain why some people like me may be rather queasy.

Again, loosely based on a true story, at least,

about the Moorhouse murders which happened in Perth

in Western Australia in the mid-'80s, where a suburban

couple were kidnapping teenage girls.

I suppose what is really gripping and interesting about this film

is that it is not some exploitative horror movie.

It is actually a character study of this couple who do

this, and why they do it, and what is going on in their heads.

Specifically, the wife, Emma Booth, whose character is called Evelyn,

who she is and what has gone on in her past and why

she is in this situation and does what she does.

That stops it just being about cardboard cutouts,

It's interesting because it is actually about the characters,

these three-dimensional characters, the kidnappers and one

They all have their own stories and real depth to them.

This is the first film from Ben Young and he really

captures suburban Australian life very well, disillusionment

It is brutal and tough to watch, of course, but very well made.

OK, I hear you and that he might be a talent to watch but I am not sure

But Girls Trip, on the other hand, takes us back into the world

Definitely back into the lighter territory!

We've got Queen Latifah in this, Jada Pinkett Smith, Tiffany Haddish,

Regina Hall, four college friends who go to New Orleans

Too bad all that pent-up energy is going to waste.

Oh! Oh!

What was that you were saying about pent-up energy?

You, too. Yes!

It is all of those things, definitely silly and funny.

It has a sort of relentless joie de vivre, a bubbliness

It was pretty difficult to find a clip we could play out.

What is most interesting about it, and this is what people are picking

up on, its characters are four contemporary, successful,

confident black women and you do not have enough of those movies.

It is not an Oscars movie, it's not an issues movie.

It is joyfully frothy and silly which is why it is refreshing.

It is a bit predicatably clunky at times but this

We will definitely see more movies like this.

It has been a big hit in the States and this will change things.

That is interesting because I was thinking how much

Then I'm thinking it's bad that I even think that

because that is the last time I watched a film that focused

You think that and you think my goodness, the fact that even

resonates with you shows what a paucity there

Absolutely, and Hidden Figures is great but it is the

It is deliberately frothy and flimsy and everyone is having fun

It is there to give you a good time, as is for younger viewers,

Captain Underpants, which Mark was raving about last week.

I could've chosen Dunkirk but everyone has said

how great Dunkirk is, I do not need to add to that,

Captain Underpants, not a Christopher Nolan movie,

It's a DreamWorks animation, based on the bestselling books.

A couple of best mates hypnotise the school principal into believing

he is this superhero called Captain Underpants.

It is a bit knowing, has that knowing wink,

that self-reflexive quality that adults like.

If you just want some jokes about pants, though,

Whoopee cushion humour, I read. I love that phrase.

The main antagonist is called Professor Poopypants.

Yes, that says it all, that is all we need to know.

For anyone who wants to stay in this week,

what DVD have you picked out for us?

I'm going to choose Life which is a sci-fi film

about astronauts bringing back a Martian life form to Earth.

The life form starts out as a single cell organism but then

grows into something much more intimidating.

Immediately when you watch this, you're thinking Alien

and Ridley Scott and there's a lot of similarites.

It is not as good but a lot of similarities.

I would say watch it for Jake Gyllenhaal,

who's probably the main star, with Rebecca Ferguson

Jake Gyllenhaal always brings this melancholy to what he does.

His character is really interesting, does and says some really

It is familiar as a science-fiction movie but Jake Gyllenhaal makes it

See you next week, James, good to have you with us.

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Ben Thompson and Rachel Burden.

Coming up before seven we'll get the weather from Sarah.

Urgent calls to the emergency services are exempt from the ban.

This is not a ban when you are walking down the street, this is

just when you are crossing the road. And it is walking down the street

that is most annoying when people walk into you. Are you guilty of it?

I am. I am sorry. That calling a distracted walking, it sounds like

it should be an Olympics or. Navigating a sleigh long course or

something. You would be really good at it. Have you seen that shocking

advert about not texting and driving but it starts off with funny clips

of people falling into holes and stuff and then there is a shocking

ending with a girl getting into a car crash. It is interesting. People

think they can multitask. It is irritating when other people do it,

but I can... Yes, I am different. ... A damp squib for the cricket in

London yesterday. Three o'clock the rain came and that was it for the

cricket. Apparently looking better for the next few days.

England's cricketers will start day four of the third Test

against South Africa in a strong position,

despite rain wiping out most of the afternoon's play

Debutant bowler Toby Roland-Jones took his fifth South African wicket

in the morning session as the tourists were dismissed

As expected the weather took a turn for the worse after lunch,

and in that time Alistair Cook became the only home wicket to fall.

The day's play was abandoned because of rain -

England will start this morning on 74 for one,

If we can get up towards the 400 in reasonable time and then we will be

happy with that. I would hope that we could bowl them out in a session,

but in a day, in a session, we still have big hitters coming in that will

speed up the run rate. That is how we will look to go about it.

A big day ahead for England at the women's European championships.

They're in quarterfinal action later today against France.

England haven't won against them since Mark Sampson took over

in 2013, and have been beaten by them in their last three major

tournaments, but that's a record they're confident they can change.

They are with our one of their players and that is massive. A loss

for them and a boost for us. It is only a boost if we can capitalise on

it. We will be confident going into it. We will need to have a very good

performance, however, to defeat them.

Waiting for England should they beat France will be the hosts

They beat Sweden 2-0 in front of a sell-out crowd.

win. It was a fast race, and it was difficult but there was almost

nothing, between me and a fifth. Britain's James Guy won bronze

specifically in preparation for this particular race, wasn't it? Yes. He

had to get down to eight Stone seven. So it is one of those things

that you do not try at home? Yes. Like those people who drink water

to some priceless relics of Saint Cuthbert which the Cathedral hopes

will help it to attract more visitors.

One of England's most treasured landmarks. Now some of its own

treasures are being put on permanent display. The sanctuary knocker. The

passport for criminals all those fleeing justice to get an extension

on their sentences. They could come here, they could claim the century

for 37 days. For me, personally, this is literally the jewel of the

exhibition. It is Saint Cuthbert's pectoral cross. He probably wore it

as a bishop 's cross during his lifetime. Over 700,000 people visit

Durham Cathedral every year. But entry is free and running costs are

high. At the moment our running deficit is around half a million a

year. What we are trying to do is turn the ship and turn it into

sustainability. This tower renovation alone costs ?5 million.

Guildford Cathedral costs and repairs there have been so high that

at one point the Bishop warned it may have to close its doors. At

Peterborough that have had to make redundancies and a new Dean has been

appointed to try and pay off its debts. The Church of England is

currently reviewing the financial management of all of its cathedrals.

A special working group has been set up. Here in Durham, visitors say

they will be happy to help cathedrals meet their costs. It is

important for the upkeep if an admission charge has to be put here,

I certainly wouldn't complain and I think it is something that must be

done to keep the place the way it is. I would be happy to pay, to see

an exhibition or even just to get inside and help pay for restoration

in some Spall we. How much would I pay? ?10 sounds fair. I think it is

important to preserve the heritage and the in the country. Over the

years the number of worshippers coming to cathedrals has declined.

Making use of their religious past may be key to preserving their

future. Here's Sarah with a look

at this morning's weather. It is a bit of a mixed picture out

and about. This shop was captured by one of our Weather Watchers as the

rain clears away from Suffolk, a beautiful Sunrise there. We have

some sunshine to enjoy but equally there will be some heavy showers, we

have had some heavy downpours overnight at Ely through parts of

the south-east of England, the London England -- London region has

seen some flooding, that could now move away, but it will linger across

Northumberland for a short while. Across Scotland and Northern

Ireland, there will be showers rattling through but some clear

spells in between showers, and that will be the story of the day.

Heading our way south across England and Wales, some sunshine has been

enjoyed through the course of the morning but there will be showers

cropping up across western parts of Wales, south-west of England and

drier through the Midlands and East Anglia and the south-east. There

should be a few hours of decent weather through the course of the

morning. As the third test continues at the Oval, the best of the weather

will be through the morning, this afternoon as cloud builds there will

be a chance of some scattered showers cropping up but not the

heavy rain whistle yesterday. Some of the showers in the north and west

could be thundery for a time as we move through the course of the day,

the frequent rattling through, and in the showers drift eastwards

through the day but I think the far south-east of England, Essex Kent

and Sussex, are likely to stay dry. Temperatures up to 21 degrees, not

too bad in the shelter between the showers, but plenty of those

showers. They did ease for a time overnight but we will continue to

see some outbreaks across the north-west and temperatures

overnight holding between 12- 14 degrees. As we head into Monday we

have low pressure to the north-west of the UK, a case of deja vu, it has

been there for a few days and is staying there into Monday. Another

day of sunshine and showers, the breeze coming in from the

south-west, fewer showers in southern and eastern parts of the

country. Slightly drier here and temperatures are degree also warmup.

-- one of two degrees warmer. The next area of low pressure comes it

in to give us further wet and windy weather next week, sunshine and

showers for the next couple of days and more persistent rain by the

middle of the week. Back to you. We'll be back with the headlines

hack-fest on the planet. If there's one week of stuff

up against law enforcers and everyone peeks over each other's

What do you think? So, the technology

work but technology advances quite quickly and things that

are difficult today will We have seen some things

like this before as well. I looked at a hack recently

where they could measure the vibrations in a crisp packet

to record my voice. So I think in the future,

things and technologies like this could be quite bad because it's

going to allow people to extract a lot more

information from our devices. It seems like the hackers are always

going to find new and interesting ways to get inside our computers

and of course the weapon of choice so far this year

has been ransomware. I manipulate people 's feelings and

thoughts. I started getting bullied. We tried to break into our school

network. We could control people 's screens, change passwords... I got

arrested for misuse of computers. I can't name the company. But they

lost a lot of money. This is a way to get ahead of the curve and stop

anyone from possibly taking a misinformed choice as to the

direction of their life. This is the UK's first

reboot camp for hackers. The first seven through the doors,

aged 16-20, all intend to change their ways,

it sounds like something that I'd really, really like to go

identify themselves a real time. These ones, hands across time, just

outside Las Vegas, are hundreds of years old. They are the earliest

examples of Native Americans showing their identity. Kind of like a

signature. In recent years we have started to use our hands to identify

us again, and then has been finding out how secure they might be.

If you are sensitive to flashing lights, look away now. Is that more

secure than than just using a finger print? Certainly. With a

fingerprint, is a small region of the hand, with this system we are

getting the whole surface, and that combined with a vein structure adds

an extra layer of security. Do you think this could be spoofed? It's

unlikely, research recently showed an inability to extract finger

prints from a distance, so you could -- showed an ability, but you would

not have the vein structure on the back of the hand, that would be very

difficult to hack. In Chicago, some people are using their palm to

Good morning. Another unsettled day today. There is sunshine in the

forecast but also some heavy downpour as well. I will have the

details in 15 minutes. Police in Australia say they've

foiled an Islamist-inspired plot to bring down an aircraft

with an improvised device. The Prime Minister,

Malcolm Turnbull, said the plot appeared to be "elaborate",

rather than planned by a lone wolf. Investigators in Australia say

they had information about a plot to blow up an aircraft involving

the use of an improvised device. Four men have been detained

following raids across Sydney by heavily armed police and members

of Australia's domestic spy agency. It is reported the operation was not

planned, but a rapid response The Prime Minister,

Malcolm Turnbull, said the authorities have

foiled what appears to be I can report last night

that there has been a major joint counterterrorism operation

to disrupt a terrorist plot to bring A woman who said her son and husband

were among those arrested in Sydney has denied they had any

links to extremism. But senior police commanders say

the raids were part of an alleged Additional security measures have

been put in place at domestic and international airports

around the country. Australia's national terror threat

level remains at probable, which means the intelligence

agencies believe that groups or individuals have the intent

and capability to carry Since 2014, 70 people have been

charged as a result of over 30 counterterrorism raids

across the country. A record number of criminals have

had their sentences increased under a scheme which allows members

of the public to ask for them Last year 141 criminals

in England and Wales The government says it wants

to extend the scheme to include Sarah stabbed a man

to death in November 2014. She was convicted of manslaughter

and given a 3.5-year jail sentence. Her neighbour, Michael,

was a convicted paedophile and Sarah, a mother of five,

claims she lost control, It was in January last year

that the punishment was considered Judges at the court of appeal ruled

that because she took a knife to his flat she must have intended

to cause serious harm and her sentence was

doubled to 7.5 years. 141 criminals have had

their sentences increased in the last year, according

to the attorney general's office. The unduly lenient scheme allows

them to the public to query sentences for serious offences

and more people are doing just that. Increases are up 17%

on the previous year. Sex offences are the highest number

of cases where sentences were increased and 14 sex offenders

who had originally escaped prison time are now serving

time behind bars. From next month, the scheme will be

widened to include an extra The attorney general say

in the fast number of cases, The number of sentences that

are increased represent a tiny proportion of the 80,000 cases

heard every single year. We'll speak to the Attorney General

about this at around ten past Donald Trump has again criticised

or so to put the fire out and the police also took time to get

all the people off the stage. Tomorrowland Unite is a multi-venue

festival held in eight different The location there was Barcelona,

the concert taking place in Can Zam Park in

the north of the city. An unfortunate end to what should

have been a great night. But with no apparent death

or injury, things could have been Another day and more tensions over

Brexit. Our political correspondent is in our studio. Mr, differences

about the approach to migration? That is correct. It is a big one.

Freedom of movement was a key aspect of the Brexit campaign. Ending the

right for European citizens to come and live in the UK in unlimited

numbers. All that talk of taking back control of our borders. What

seems much less clear now is whether freedom of movement can end when we

Brexit in March 2019 or whether ending it immediately, in reality,

is just not going to be possible. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has

said it will be sometime before we able to introduce formal migration

controls between the UK and the EU, suggesting there will need to be a

period of up to three years where things are phased in gradually. In

an interview with the Sunday Times today, the International trade

Secretary, Liam Fox, makes clear that his position is actually rather

different. He said well, hang on. If we keep freedom of movement after

Brexit, in his opinion that would not keep faith with the result of

the EU referendum, meaning that, hang on, if immigration rules do not

change then in his view it is not really delivering what the voters

voted for. Liam Fox also said he has not been party to any Cabinet

discussions about an arrangement which keep immigration rules the

same or similar to those that we have now. It does rather seem as if

we are seeing ministers contradicting each other. There does

seem to be agreement that some transitional deal is needed, but

divisions over exactly what that will look like. Thank you. We will

talk more about that in the paper review in a little while. It is in

many of the newspapers today. The Scottish Government has called

for Scotch to be defined in UK law in order to protect whisky

exports after Brexit. Holyrood is concerned that

any future trade deal with the United States might

allow American firms Our business correspondent

Joe Lynam reports. Under EU rules of origin,

any spirit described as Scotch whiskey must be aged released three

years and matured in Scotland. But the Scottish government says

the US negotiators during the recent trade talks with the EU had wanted

this definition to be relaxed So now Holyrood wants the EU

definition of Scotch to be incorporated into UK

law after Brexit. That is because whiskey making

supports 20,000 jobs and is worth ?4 We have to make absolutely certain

that any deal done with the US If that deal does not protect

the definition of whiskey as a spirit matured for three years

or more, it weakens that definition and we will lose Scottish jobs

in the whiskey industry. 10,000 jobs depend on it,

another 10,000 in the supply chain. So we tell Liam Fox,

don't tangle with the Scottish A spokesperson for the Department

of International trade which co-ordinates future deals says

that Scotch is a UK export success story and will support the industry

so it continues to thrive to thrive

and prosper post Brexit. Whiskey may be the water of life

but it might also give London and Edinburgh a headache -

in trade terms at least. Honolulu has become the first major

US city to ban pedestrians from looking at their mobile phone,

texting or using digital devices The measure, which will take effect

in Hawaii's largest city in October, is aimed at reducing

injuries and deaths Fines start at 11 pounds and go up

to 75 pounds for repeat offenders. Urgent calls to the emergency

services are exempt from the ban. I know one person has already been

in touch this morning to say that we need these ban introduced right

across the world. And this is only while you are crossing the road. You

can actually be here walking down the pavement. In some cities you

should have a slow lane and a fast lane. yes. A phone lane for people.

Will be a for disaster, people would fly in all directions. Good morning.

It is 12 minutes past seven and this is BBC Breakfast. More now on the

unduly lenient sentencing scheme which allows members of the public

in England and Wales to ask for the sentences for some serious crimes to

be reviewed. A record 141 criminals had their sentences increased last

year following complaints that the punishments were too soft. We speak

now to the attorney general who joins us from Birmingham. Thank you

very much for your time. One conclusion you may draw from this is

that, well, judges are not getting the sentences right and they are not

being harsh enough. But this is actually a tiny proportion of the

entire number of sentences being handed out. You are correct. If you

look at the total number of sentences that have been passed,

cases heard by the Crown Court last year were about 77,000. Of that, as

you say, about 140 ended up with higher sentences as a result of our

intervention under this scheme. It is a small minority. Judges,

generally speaking, get this right. When they do get it wrong and

mistakes are made, and it is possible for a judge to make a

mistake, when that happens it is important that there is a mechanism

to correct the mistake and that is what the scheme does. Can anybody,

even if they are not directly affected by the case, ask for one of

the sentences to be reviewed? Yes they can and yes they do. Whether

you are a lawyer in the case, affected by, a victim, or someone

completely unconnected to it you can make a reference to the law officers

for us to consider whether to pass the case under the Court of Appeal.

We will not always do that. Some cases are not within the scheme at

the moment in some cases that I'll come when we look at them, we do not

consider them unduly lenient. This not a an exercise in deciding

whether or not we would have given a little more, it has to be one where

the sentence passed was unduly lenient. If was then we can pass it

on for the Court of Appeal and they are the ones who decide on the end

of the sentence should be increased. There had been cases where someone

had a suspended sentence and then after the review was actually

imprisoned. It can be a significant adjustment. It can. You are correct.

In some cases where a suspended sentence was passed it resulted in

the median sentence in. One case that I know, a suspended sentence

that after the review the sentence imposed was an immediate sentence of

seven years imprisonment. In another case, we had an increase from 3.5

years to 12 years imprisoned. Some changes can be significant I stress,

again, this is a very small minority of cases. Where mistakes are made we

must be able to correct them. Sometimes the mistakes are serious,

but rarely. I don't want people to have the impression that judges are

routinely getting things wrong. They are not. But this is an important

valve and assistance is give people confidence in the system. I think it

is interesting that a significant number of the cases involve child

sex cases. Perhaps that is the strength of -- sign of public -- the

strength of public feeling about the sort of cases. certainly. And if you

talk to anyone involved, they will tell you that a very large

proportion of their workload is sexual offences, particularly child

sexual offences. It is not surprising that a large proportion

of this scheme's cases will be sex offences as well. I don't think it

does you a great deal about what is particularly wrong in sentencing

about those offences. Are mostly tells you what is prevalent. I know

this is about affirming public trust in the whole judicial system and

sentencing process but it is interesting. One tweet to Breakfast

this morning said it is not the sentence that is the issue, it is

that the sentences are not served in full. For example, you may be

sentenced for 20 years but you will be on parole after five years. Are

not sure it works quite simply a fact that there is an issue there,

isn't there, that sometimes the length of time it likely spend in

prison in relation to their sentences significantly different.

and it is not as simple as that. There is a real benefit to us all in

there being a period of time after someone is physically released from

prison over which we have a hold on them. If they behave badly there is

something that can happen, the remainder of their sentence can be

activated, they can return to prison. There is a real benefit in

the system when it works like that. We do need to think about that when

we consider the way in which prison sentences operate. Judges know that

when they pass a sentence, how long someone will physically serve inside

a prison. And so they judge... They take that into account. Can I just

ask, the extension of this scheme to include terror related offences,

will that be a more complex area of law, and their four is the review

system going to be slightly more difficult? I don't know. The process

will be the same. We will consider when they are referred to us whether

the sentences are duly lenient or not, we are talking about 19

offences, all terror related, and it is important that where we can we do

it would -- extend the scheme to include sentences that the public

are genuinely concerned about. This is a good start, and it will mean

that some of the offences that previously the law officers have not

been able to intervene on, where they have been far too low, we can

now intervene, and I hope very much that that will repeat the point that

the public can have more confidence in the way in which the system

works. Thank you very much. Here's Sarah with a look

at this morning's weather. A pretty unsettling story with the

weather, a case of deja vu, a day of sunny spells and 20 of showers

around. We had some heavy rain overnight which has been clearing

away from the coast in Suffolk, is beautiful Sunrise was captured just

an hour or so ago by one of our Weather Watchers at this is what has

happened over the past few hours, that heavy rain that passed across

southern and south-eastern and eastern England are now clearing

away from the east coast but it has left a lot of standing water on the

roads, with some flooding problems around London. Scotland and Northern

Ireland, it is a picture of clear spells and also those showers, this

is not a clock in the morning, still some rain lingering off the coast of

Northumberland, across England and Wales, many will start off that on a

dry note with some sunshine but all ready some showers cropping up

across western parts of Wales in temperature down towards Cornwall.

-- in Pembrokeshire. It is looking quite promising at the Oval, at

least through the morning, sunny spells, a bit more clout and we

could see a few of those passing showers interrupting play at times.

Plenty of showers in the north and west as we head through the second

half of this morning, some heavy and thundery, but they are moving

through quite quickly on this brisk south-westerly breeze for most of

us, some showers reaching the south-east, it remains dry in East

Anglia, 21 or 22, that should feel relatively pleasant in between the

showers. Still breezy and showery as we head through into this evening,

overnight slightly dry conditions but we will keep the showers across

the north-west of the country, and temperatures falling to around 12 to

14 degrees. To start the working week we have got this area of low

pressure to the north-west, it has been with us for several days, it is

not going anywhere. Another day of sunshine and showers tomorrow, the

showers not quite as frequent or heavy and they would more confined

to the north-west of the UK, fewer showers heading towards the

south-east, a little more dry here, 17- 22, one of two degrees warmer. A

slightly quieter day on Tuesday but then the next area of low pressure

moves in from the Atlantic to bring us further wet and windy weather

into Wednesday. It is changeable, certainly. Thank you, we will have

more a little later. Later today the Belgian city

of Ypres will pause to remember one of the most costly battles

of the First World War. By the end of the three month

campaign, half a million men were dead, injured, or missing,

in the mud of No Mans Land. Now, a century later,

the land is still yielding deadly Our special correspondent

Robert Hall reports. This is a corner of Europe

where First World War shells explode The Belgian bomb disposal team

is based in Poelkapelle and they deal with at least 200 tons

of unexploded munitions each year. You may think that after 100 years

this iron harvest would be reducing. During the First World War,

along the Western front, 1.5 billion shells were fired

and of those, one in three That left 500 million

still in the ground. A few miles from

Poelkapelle, another call. A farmer has left several

unidentified shells If we look at the length

and the fuse, this is an explosive. One third of the munitions

that the team recover contain The first job is to clean them up,

and not always that gently, for a rough idea of how

dangerous they might be. Here we look for characteristics

and then for an exterior marking. They do that with a hammer

or a copper brush and, it sounds old-fashioned,

but it is still much safer than using a sandblaster

or high-pressure water. This is chloride and

cyanide or arsenic. Even after 100 years,

lives are at risk here. The chemical shells are eventually

destroyed in a sealed chamber. Conventional explosives

follow a separate path. Shells, bombs, grenades and bullets

forced to the surface of local farmland by frost

action and ploughing. How much explosive is in one

crate, do you think? Always around 50

kilos of explosives. More than 50 kilos, even

deeply buried, would risk And so this meticulous

operation rolls on. A legacy of a distant war that

will provide these lethal reminders Extraordinary pictures in that story

of the work that is still being done. Let's pick up on that story

and the theme of that story, across the BBC today.

Time now for a look at the newspapers.

Historian Tessa Dunlop is here to tell us what's

The commemorations have caught the eye of the newspapers, and this

follows the author of War Horse, traditionally a children's author,

but the weight in which he weaves more into the stories without

lionising military events, getting into the ocean and the half of it,

and War Horse was award-winning on so many fronts, and this is the

story taken from a different angle, it is a father telling the son of

the grandfather's story and he will be reading extracts, I believe. A

big immigration events. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are going to be

there, others from Europe and there needs to be on these occasions, an

element of artistic interpretation to really get to the heart, the guts

of what this war meant. And where it leaves us, because I think it is all

well and good having commemorations and Centenary anniversaries, so

important, and we had several them, Dayboro Cameron was a big believer

in them, but we need you to get it back and say, 100 years on, what

does this tell us? On both sides nearly half a million young men died

in mind and for a couple of kilometres, it was revolting. People

came out out of that post-1918, unable to articulate, there were no

words, which is why we have a two minute of silence. People said never

again, this was the war to end all wars, and it was scarcely two

decades letter and we had World War Two, and what we had was a rise of

nationalism, polls -- populism, fascism, we have to be so careful,

peace is so fragile and I think that should be the takeaway message. Life

is so fragile. A conflict over Europe on a completely different

contact, also in many of the papers this morning, -- contacts. This is

talking about the divisions over the future of Brexit. You have Michael

Barnier, just in case you think will he is leaving one of the British

parties, he is not. The pullout people talking about the single

market, who are apparently going to create, well, a bit of a problem the

Jeremy Corbyn, and the Eurosceptics who are kind of leading the Labour

Party. White is interesting is we hear lots from the Conservative

Party who are against what the Eurosceptics in the Tories are

doing, Chris Patten, John Major, they are all standing up and saying,

what has happened? It is not the direction we should be taking the

party of the country. And I think today Labour has got away with

skating, -- obfuscating, not being clear, not putting its cards on the

table, this defies party lines and you have to go back to the 1975

referendum, which I don't think we do really enough, where we reviewed

whether we should be, it was promised by Harold Wilson's Labour

Party that this would happen if they were voted in, so in 1975 there was

a vote, and what we saw there was Harold Wilson fighting to stay in

the European Commission, alongside Margaret Thatcher. And on the other

side, the hard left, they were naturally of course, Jeremy Corbyn

is at home there. So the Khan came yesterday and said there may be a

way that we could manage this without getting out of the EU. Sadiq

is a very little and popular character but only within one win.

That is what is so fascinating about this Brexit maelstrom. And another

controversy. Theresa May on holidays, in this dress, it is an

unusual thing, any celebrity or politician, it is cheaper to buy in

Europe on the same website. You say the familiar tale, this is... We are

so used to British retailers charging more, on things like

technology, laptops, iPods, and it is... The case is, where did Theresa

May by this dress? Before it became the cost-cutting nightmare and

controversy, everything Theresa May seems to touch turns to dust, but it

was lauded by various commentators, but aside from her and her pale pins

on the Italian seafront, or was it the mountains, the question is Lord

Wilson, who is the chief executive of next and was a key Leave

campaign, which again ties into Brexit, is selling distress or more

in Britain than you can get it on the continent. And the question is

why VAT is the same, it is not because of domestic VAT, and it

seems that the buying power of the euro now outgun is the buying power

of the pound, in each country, and there for you will get better

bargains. Does that mean you should go online, apparently not, because

it might be hard at to return the goods if they don't look as good as

they do on Theresa May. Thank you very much, savvy advice, see you

again later on. Can England beat France

for the first time in over 40 years this evening to make it

to the semifinals of the Euros? We'll be live in the Netherlands

Headlines coming up. Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Ben Thompson and Rachel Burden. Coming up before eight,

we'll get the weather from Sarah. But first, a summary of this

morning's main news. Police in Australia say they've

foiled an Islamist-inspired plot to bring down an aircraft

with an improvised device. The Prime Minister,

Malcolm Turnbull, said the plot appeared to be "elaborate",

rather than planned by a lone wolf. I can report last night that there

has been a major joint counterterrorism operation to

disrupt Abe terrorist plot to bring down an aeroplane. The operation is

continuing. At this stage, four people have been arrested and a

considerable amount of material has been seized by police.

A record number of criminals have had their sentences increased under

a scheme which allows members of the public to ask for them

Last year 141 criminals in England and Wales

The attorney generals as in most cases judges get the sentencing

right. Cases heard by the Crown Court last year were about 77,000.

Of that, as you say, about 140 ended up with higher sentences as a result

of our intervention under this scheme. It is a very small minority.

Judges, generally speaking, get this right. When they do get it wrong and

mistakes are made and it is possible for judges to make mistakes, when

they do it is important there is a mechanism to correct those mistakes

and that's what this scheme does. More than 20,000 people have been

evacuated from a music festival in Spain after a huge fire engulfed

story. Honolulu has become the first major

US city to ban pedestrians from looking at their mobile phone,

texting or using digital devices The measure, which will take effect

in Hawaii's largest city in October, is aimed at reducing

injuries and deaths Fines start at 11 pounds and go up

to 75 pounds for repeat offenders. Urgent calls to the emergency

services are exempt from the ban. There are certain parts that are

exempt, like ringing the emergency services. You will not be fined for

that. We were saying as well it would be good to have one on the

pavement as well, if you were walking down the pavement. But what

if you are checking sports scores? That is important. It is the fourth

a emergency service. By now we will start with a cricket but the women's

euros tonight, a massive game. Yes, and we will speak to our

correspondent in the Netherlands just after this bulletin she has

Rachel to talk to us as well. It is huge. They have not beaten France in

40 years and here they have a chance to get through to the semifinals. A

big chance to England, they seem to be going well and are quite relaxed.

Ah Samson will speak later. Wet weather seemed sports bulletin

today. The rain at the Oval yesterday and the amazing picture of

the groundsman at the Euros yesterday wiping out. That comes up

for you at a moment. That we will start with a cricket.

England's cricketers will start day four of the third Test

against South Africa in a strong position,

Debutant bowler Toby Roland-Jones took his fifth South African wicket

in the morning session as the tourists were dismissed

As expected the weather took a turn for the worse after lunch,

and in that time Alistair Cook became the only home wicket to fall.

The day's play was abandoned because of rain -

England will start this morning on 74 for one,

If we can get up towards the 400 in reasonable time and then we will be

happy with that. I would hope that we could bowl them out in a session,

but in a day, in a session, we still have big hitters coming in that will

speed up the run rate. That is how we will look to go about it.

I said we had a wet weather seemed for you, let's return to the women's

euros. The match was delayed and have a look of the ground staff

here... How E! He is on his back! A very wet condition that. I know we

should not laugh but this has cheered me up no end this morning.

Was at about ten o'clock last night when the decision was made to cancel

the match which is, you know, for this and is that is a long... It

never gets old. Aliso got a little bit of entertainment thanks to that

poor ground work at. Brilliant stuff. Thank you for that and the

rest of the sport. Spectacular stuff. In fact we will stay

Euros now because as we have been hearing, England will need to defeat

France for the first time in over 40 years if they are to make it to the

semifinals tonight let's hope the weather is on their side. Yes, but

none of that is worrying the managers. He says his team could win

the match even if they are not at their very best. Our sports court of

Spondon and is out there for as and the big question is about confidence

that it they think they can do, the managers as they can but can they

deliver? That is the big question. We heard Mark Samson sounding quite

confident in his press conference yesterday. He made those comments

and went on to say that if England were at their best they will defeat

France comfortably. England have won their group games, scored ten goals

and are on a roll. But history and experience is very much on the Stade

de France. We are talking about this now with the former England

goalkeeper who has joined this year in the sunshine and is part of our

team here in the Netherlands. Rachel, you are in the press

conference room yesterday. What did you make of Mark Samson's comments.

Is a confidence all mind games? I was taken aback but I think it it

truly is genuine confidence. It is a situation and divide that he has

maybe not felt as intrinsically before and it is maybe spelling out

a little bit. Is this England team feel different to the last one to

play France in a major tournament? Haven't spoken to the girls,

absolutely. I would agree with that. There was a cup earlier this year

that England lost in the last few minutes to France but as far as the

major tournament, the girls are quite confident going into the World

Cup two years ago and came out with a bronze medal, having defeated

Germany for the first time ever. So there is certainly gaining momentum

but it nine years down the line and nine years further into the grand

master plan that Mark Samson implemented 3.5 years ago. I

mentioned this great record that France have. England have not

defeated them since 1974. I don't need to remind you of that. They

have lost the last three major tournaments as well. You think there

is a psychological barrier to overcome? Possibly there has been

previously. Psychological barriers are in your head. History is one

thing but what the England team are really building, as I mentioned,

they defeated Germany two years ago for the first time ever. So it is

just another... I imagine they will have the same sort of mindset.

Nothing different for this game, it is just part of the momentum in the

building process that he and the team have been a part of for the

last six months. I have seen them mentality and that real internal

drive step up a gear. France, one of the pretournament favourites are

ranked third in the world. They struggled in the group. That's a

surprise you? In some ways. But then we saw Germany who have won six from

the last eight European Championships and we saw them

struggle their way through the group stages and they are just keeping a

little bit in reserve. I would not look at the group stage for either

of those teams and think that that was the best. France have come

through the group stages and have lost big players, two of them are

suspended and I think that, other than their not so convincing form,

their two players who they would have wanted to have at the tonight

an unavailable. Mark Samson had the luxury of wresting ten of the

starting 11 and the last game against Portugal. Do you think we

will see a lot of changes coming into this France game? You may refer

back to the teams we thought in the earlier stages of the group? I think

so. We saw something quite convincing against the tracks --

straightaway against Scotland. Spain was a different performance, not in

quality but in the opponents, they were up against they played in quite

a different way. They needed to prepare differently and play

differently. Executing, once again, that gameplan quite well. I expect

that the majority of that starting line-up in the first two games to be

back in. That was part of his plan. He mentioned that in the press

conference. This is why they wanted fresh legs. They have all had a week

's rest. Confidence here as well. Thank you very much indeed. The

blockbuster quarter-final tonight against France. The winner will play

the host nation, the Netherlands, in the final four. Thank you so much.

Does look lovely on sunny there are so hopefully that will in their

favour. Don't forget you can follow the match follows 5 Live. Full

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

Sarah, are you guilty of texting while walking? I have possibly

symbiont -- sent the odd tax by walking but I did see someone do it

the other day and walk straight into a lamppost, it does happen. Perils

of the job. This picture was taken by someone on a walk this morning, a

dog walker from Sheldon in Devon, we have beautiful blue skies. It is a

lovely morning across many past of the country, but the weather will

not stay that glorious all day. Here is the satellite picture, here is

Sheldon in Devon, there is a lot of clout around the east coast, the

rain is now clearing away and quite a speckled nature to the cloud
