31/08/2017 Breakfast

This is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

Theresa May insists she's not a quitter and vows to fight

the next General Election.

The Prime Minister dismissed reports that she will stand down

It's 20 years since the death of Princess Diana.

Flowers are again being laid outside Kensington Palace.

Parents in England have until midnight to register for 30

hours of free childcare for three and four year olds,

but some nurseries warn that they'll struggle to cope.

Luxury car maker, Aston Martin, has just announced a ?500 million

package of trade and investment with Japan.

It's one of the most eye catching deals to come out of a three-day

trip to the country by the Prime Minister.

In sport, it's transfer deadline day.

And an early deal should see confirmation of Alex

Oxlade-Chamberlain's move from Arsenal to Liverpool.

Good morning. It is a bright start for many. Chilly as well. Show is in

the west. Through the day, they will develop widely. -- showers. I will

have more in 15 minutes. Theresa May says she wants to lead

the Conservatives into the next General Election saying she's in it

"for the long-term." The Foreign Secretary,

Boris Johnson, has given his support, but backbench Conservative

MPs have told the BBC they're sceptical she'll be able

to serve the full term. The Prime Minister is currently

on a three-day trip to Japan. There has been an awful lot of

speculation about my future which has no basis whatsoever in it. I am

in this for the long-term. There is a real job to be done in the United

Kingdom. It is about getting Brexit done right and getting a proper

partnership with the EU for the future. It is also about getting

global Britain and trading around the world and dealing with injustice

within the UK but also going out and around the world, making sure we can

do those trade deals which ring prosperity to our economy and bring

jobs to the United Kingdom. -- bring.

He joins us live on Breakfast. We have heard so much speculation over

the summer. Is Theresa May ending it or is this starting it again? Good

morning. She is here on the second day of her three-day visit to Japan,

a visit ostensibly about trade. She is talking about the possibilities

for Britain after Brexit. She has decided to use this moment after her

summer holidays three months on from the botched general election to

settle for good, for now, at least, this issue around her leadership. It

is a change of tone from the Prime Minister. You'll remember after the

election she talks to Tory MPs saying she will continue as long as

they want her. Now she says she is in it for the long-term and will

fight for the Tories in the next election. When asked the question

she could not say anything but that. To say she would only be doing it

for the short-term would immediately make her a lame-duck Prime Minister.

There is no great leadership challenge brewing at the moment. I

think many Tory MPs will welcome this. They will be happy she will be

there leading them through Brexit. By there are those, including Nicky

Morgan, who say they are doubtful in reality she will still be there in

2022. But a punchy and significant change of tone from the Prime

Minister. Thank you, joining us from Tokyo.

The brother of the Manchester Arena bomber will go on trial in Libya

in the next two months, in connection with the attack

Hashem Abedi was arrested in Libya shortly after the bombing in May,

The prosecutor in the case said their father has been released.

The first treatment to redesign a patient's own immune system

so that it attacks cancer has been approved in the United States.

The drug is made by extracting white blood cells from the patient,

which are then genetically reprogrammed to seek out

The US Food and Drug Administration said the decision was an historic

moment and medicine is now "entering a new frontier."

20 years ago today, Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car

crash in Paris after being pursued by photographers.

Princes William and Harry will mark the anniversary privately

but members of the public are expected to gather outside

Our correspondent, Mark Lobel, is there for us this morning.

Mark, people have already started laying flowers there haven't they?

Good morning. Already tributes are being paid 20 years on. That is

correct. As the sad news of her death reverberated around the

country 20 years ago, Kensington Palace became a focal point at that

time. 20 years on, it has happened again. People are writing this

morning to pay respects. A cake has been brought. A portrait has been

made. We had a look at some of the things put up on the board,

including this photomontage brought in by Maria from Newcastle. Why did

you bring it? I wanted to make a special montage for the 20th

anniversary. I just make quite a few. This one made William and Harry

chuckle because of the picture of William in shades. Have you ever met

Princess Diana? I never did. But I followed her from when she first

came on the scene until she died. Why did you think it was necessary

to put these voters together? She was a truly remarkable lady and she

will never be forgotten. -- photos. William and Harry met with the

famous charities she used to meet with, aids charities, for example.

They also opened the White Garden. They will spend the rest of the day

privately remembering their mother, they said. Thank you so much.

And after 7am, we'll be speaking to former Welsh Guardsman,

Phil Bartlett, who was a pallbearer at Princess Diana's funeral.

Today's the deadline for working parents of three and four year olds

in England to apply for 30 hours of free childcare a week.

The system will come into effect tomorrow,

however, a new survey by the Pre-school Learning Alliance

suggests most nurseries think there's a funding shortfall.

The government says pilot schemes have shown that nurseries

are willing and able to provide extra hours.

Our Midlands correspondent, Sima Kotecha, reports.

30 hours of free childcare a week for three-year-olds

It makes you feel more empowered to actually ago and work full-time

because you have got the help from the government

It would actually be beneficial to parents that are trying to go

just so that we can work, and it is not such a financial

Tens of thousands of parents are entitled to this childcare,

which is double the number of hours they used to get.

But some parents have told us that ever since they have been able

to sign up to the scheme, there have been problems.

At one point its website wasn't working properly and that stopped

parents from receiving a code which is needed

There have also been concerns about our nurseries will pay

for the service, with some saying the money that ministers

Here they say that they are struggling to stay afloat.

We can't afford to offer any totally free 30 hours childcare places.

What we can do is offer the subsidised elements and ram

that up with charging for meals and the extras that we provide

here like French and drama and yoga and all the rest of it.

The government says the policy's already having a positive

impact in the areas that have trialled it since last year,

and that independent analysis shows most providers were both willing

and able to offer the extra hours.

But a survey out today suggests 40% of nurseries are worried

they'll have to close down, because the cash they're given,

they say, isn't enough to keep them in business.

The Governor of Texas has warned the amount of federal government aid

it will need in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey,

is likely to be far in excess of the more than $100 billion made

available after the storm which devastated New Orleans

At least 25 people have been killed in the aftermath of the storm.

Pipelines and fuel production has closed.

And overnight, the owners of a flooded chemical plant say

Our correspondent, James Cook, is following developments from

We are now in the skies above Houston. Lots of these floodwaters

have receded very rapidly, especially in the downtown area. But

other parts of the city are still very badly affected. Tens of

thousands of homes have been damaged, possibly around 50,000

homes, damaged by this flooding. And we have seen these two reservoirs,

the water has been spilling over these reservoirs. We watched as

thousands of people were evacuated from that place alone. That was a

very well co-ordinated rescue operation. Are lots of other rescues

have been taking place up here in the sky, with helicopters flying

dangerous and daring missions to get people to safety. -- and lots.

A man in Toronto has caused quite a buzz after attempting to break

the world record for the longest time an individual has

had their head fully covered in bees.

What possesses someone to do this? I think his head needs examining.

Juan Carlos Ortiz sat for 61 minutes in a sealed dome as more

than 100,000 bees crawled over his face and neck.

He broke the current record of 53 minutes and 34 seconds

How many bee stings do you think he got? He looks all right. But surely

he got a few. I would rather him than me. Horrible. Could you do it?

Bees are lovely. Would you have hundreds of thousands on your head?

Not at all. And that box would make me claustrophobic. "No" is the easy

answer to that. I would rather look over the detailed contract of

Premier League football. In fact, that is what I am doing. We will

talk about Alex Oxley Chamberlain. It was not the best diet for them.

-- start. They had some complaints. They are ending that if this deal

goes through. More than a billion pounds has been

spent already and we're expecting millions more to change hands

on the last day of football's One deal that looks set

to be completed is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's ?40 million

In just a few minutes I will bring you the back pages. They are full of

what might happen through the day. What move might start another move?

It starts tonight. It is the same issue as changing houses. You move

and then you regret it. We will talk to someone later in the programme. I

can't even believe he has time to talk to us. He did a deal eight

seconds before the deadline. Here's Carol with a look

at this morning's weather. What a beautiful picture. Isn't it

gorgeous? Good morning to you too. It is looking slightly better today.

We are also looking at sunshine and showers and you can see that each of

County Down is sent in from a Weather Watcher yesterday. Some of

them will have some hail embedded as well. Look at this clump, there are

thunderstorms around Liverpool this morning. There is a lot of dry

weather of them. It is quite a chilly start to the day, many

starting in single figures. Through the day, further showers develop.

You might catch one almost anywhere. In between, there will be some

spells of sunshine. To the afternoon, showers across south-west

England, some likely to be heavy, possibly thundery, and the same as

we move into the south-east, East Anglia, the Midlands, some heavy

with some hail thrown in as well as thunder. For northern England,

Ireland and Scotland, sunshine and showers and in between some sunshine

with temperatures up to 14- 16. You will notice in the south-east of the

country that it won't be as cold as it was yesterday. Through this

evening and overnight very slowly the showers recede. Some hang around

the coastline. It will be a chilly night under clear skies. These are

the temperatures in towns and cities, 8-12, might lower in the

countryside with a touch of frost. And some patchy mist and fog as

well. It will lift readily and many will get off to a dry start with one

or two showers around from south-east Scotland down to

south-east England, and some in the west as well, though they will be

fewer and further between. In between a lot of dry weather and

sunshine around, temperatures 14 in the north, 21 in the south.

Overnight into Saturday we will have clear skies under this high

pressure, so it will be cold in the countryside, and a touch of frost.

As we head into the weekend we have signs of a change coming into the

west. On Saturday we start off on a cold note with some frost and a lot

of dry weather. One or two showers in the south-east, it and they will

be the exception rather than the rule. Later in the day the cloud

will build to the west with the arrival of the next set of systems.

They are coming in from the west. It will be wet and windy for Northern

Ireland, western Scotland and the south-west, although it will grind

to a halt with some cloud develop ahead of it. A further east you are

the dry and sunny at the weather is likely to be. Thank you. -- sunnier.

Morning. Let's have a look at the papers. Two main stories, the first

is, "I am no quitter" as Theresa May pledges to lead the Conservative

Party beyond Brexit. This promise the Guardian says risks igniting

anger among Tory MPs after suggestions she would go in 2019.

Drinking green tea on a Japanese visit. Very healthy. The Times

leading with Theresa May, and the main picture of the two princes and

the Duchess yesterday outside Kensington Palace as they went to

see the flowers left in memory of Princess Diana on the 20th

anniversary of the death of her life and we heard from our reported

earlier. The Daily Mail have a say in picture of the same event. And

the next to it a picture of them in an identical picture two decades ago

just after their mother died. That double picture on some of the front

pages, on the Sun as well, quoting the Daily Telegraph, saying that all

of us lost someone that date, the Sun speaking of the grief shared

with the nation. One other thing we are talking about is this transfer

window. And I mentioned it is like an merry-go-round, one person gets

on and another gets off. Let's have a look at the Mirror, going, going,

gone, Diego Costa is going to be allowed to train at Atletico Madrid

before moving back in January. This is a big story for Arsenal, they say

they are ready to sell Alex Sanchez to Manchester City if they can get

another player in, Draxler from PSG, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gone

more or less to Liverpool, leaving Chelsea furious, apparently, because

they were expecting him to go there. And the Mirror of the best double

page spread. John, if I can ask for some help. The window, Jurgen Klopp

reckons he smashed it. Arsene Wenger, potentially broke it. Lots

of talk in the papers today about Arsenal and crisis at the club and

the dealing. And why players are moving at this point and what is

their motivation. Obviously, cash helps. First-team football is

increasingly important and here in the Guardian is Gareth Southgate

talking about how he will only pick first team players for England. Hmm.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain thinks he will get more games there. Philip

Keating you or the entire shopping chain? -- Coutinho. The Co-op are

after ?140 million. Co-op have now got exclusive talks with them now.

It sounds very tranferry, doesn't it? It does. There are lots of these

stores dominating the landscape. It is putting my story into perspective

now, talking about a ?500 million Aston Martin Deal, to .5 Neymars.

Isn't it mad? Two raccoons on the loose! They have escaped from a

wildlife park. They have a nasty bite. The raccy horror show, says

the Sun. Lonely chum left behind. They look cute! I know people who

have woken up some mornings with bite and you don't want to go down

that road. It is better than a skunk. I always say. Much better.

Thank you for now. Throughout the programme this morning we will have

the latest on the political story from Downing Street as Theresa May

continues a trip from Japan, getting more analysis and reaction from her

pledge to stay on until the next general election. But of of course

we are marking 20 years on from Princess Diana's death.

Prince William and Prince Harry say they want their mother to be

remembered for the positive impact she had around the world and the way

20 years on from the her death, we've been speaking to people

who have special memories of meeting Diana, Princess of Wales.

The young lady that I met that was a cracking young lady,

and full of life, full of confidence.

She was a breath of fresh air for the monarchy -

a stuffy monarchy that needed a bit of fresh air.

My name is John Walsh, and I met Princess Diana in 1991.

She was patron of the Turning Point charity dinner.

I picked up the menu for the evening, and I wrote on it,

"Next to my Mrs, you're the best-looking woman in the room,

As I arrived there, she rather cheekily said,

"Who's this bird that's better looking than me?"

But then she said, "How would you like me?"

"If you don't mind, I would like would like a photo

And I said, "Well, everybody has a photograph of you smiling,"

and at that point, she grinned, and that is one that I shot.

I was the bodyguard to the late Diana, Princess of Wales,

People talk about, you know, did Diana change things?

I think the sort of beginning of that, there was her leap

into trying to find a cure for AIDS at that point.

I remember Diana meeting the Queen, here, in the mid-80s,

and the Queen saying, "What are you going to do now?"

And she said, "I want to get involved in the AIDS project -

I think that's something worth getting involved with."

And here we are, in the 21st century, and her son,

Harry, openly involved in the AIDS issue, with all the support

My name is Martin Neary, and I directed the music

Candle In The Wind, in its original version,

And so in conversations with Elton, I said to him, "This could work,

And within five hours, he had come back with Goodbye England's Rose.

She had a touch with people which just crossed all

We'll get the latest on the relief effort from the Red Cross.

Everyone in this room have their eyes glued to mine for the entire

session. And after 8:30, we'll meet two

of the people tasked with Educating Greater Manchester,

and turning around a school once deemed to be the worst

in the country. I would feel nervous in that

situation. But now, a summary of this

morning's main news. Theresa May says she wants to lead

the Conservatives into the next General Election saying she's in it

"for the long-term." The Foreign Secretary,

Boris Johnson, has given his support, but backbench Conservative

MPs have told the BBC they're sceptical she'll be able

to serve the full term. The Prime Minister is currently

on a three-day trip to Japan. There's been an awful lot

of speculation about my future There's a real job to be done

in the United Kingdom. It's about getting Brexit done

right, it's about getting that deep and special relationship

with the EU for the future. It's also about getting global

Britain and trading around the world and dealing with injustice

within the UK but also going out and around the world,

ensuring we can do those trade deals which bring prosperity

to our economy and bring jobs The brother of the Manchester Arena

bomber will go on trial in Libya in the next two months in connection

with the attack which left Hashem Abedi was arrested in Libya

shortly after the bombing in May, The prosecutor in the case

said their father has been released. From tomorrow, working parents

of three and four years olds in England will be able to get 30

hours of free childcare. The deadline to apply is today,

but the run up to the new system A survey from the Pre-school

Learning Alliance suggests almost three quarters of childcare

providers feel the government has The government says pilots have

shown funding was no barrier to nurseries delivering

the extra hours. 20 years ago today, Diana,

Princess of Wales died in a car crash in Paris after being

pursued by photographers. A range of public events have been

organised to remember her death and flowers, cards and other

tributes are again being laid Her sons, Princes William and Harry,

that be a cent with the million dollar work of art.

Incredible. Lino on the floor. That is ridiculous. That is quite cool.

Cool? It would suit my house... Wearing my slippers. I can see it. I

can see it. You would get one. I have one already, I have four. I

wonder how many Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains could you get?

40 golden toilets! You are reading those contracts too tightly. I have

my phone on me to see if someone can give me any latebreaking deals. I

think they are all asleep, to be honest.

We're into the final day of a record breaking football transfer window.

Premier League clubs have spent comfortably more than a billion

pounds so far and we expect millions more to be splurged today.

Liverpool look set to pay ?40 million for Arsenal's Alex

He won the FA Cup last season with the Gunners and turned down

But Arsenal are still hoping to keep Alexis Sanchez.

They've rejected a ?50 million bid from Manchester City.

He scored 24 league goals last season but only has a year left

The England and Everton midfielder Ross Barkley is another who could be

But the Toffees have turned down an offer of ?25

He's missed all three league matches this season through injury,

and some feel all transfers should be completed before

The recommendation is to close the window before the season starts so

everyone knows where the players have gone so we can see what the

first results will look like. And also they can make other clubs

poorer. I think Sir Alex Ferguson could be

right. Why would you start making deals now when a player has already

done three or four games already this season. It's odd timing.

And you can follow all the deals on the BBC Sport website,

which will have a live page with updates until the window closes

Five live have a special programme from seven this evening and there's

I know I can do this. I have done it before. I want to have that feeling

again. There is also the realistic understanding that, OK, I have been

in this situation for a while, it will take some time. Of course,

managing expectations is part of it and learning during the match is

something that I haven't done. It may be possible to do a pitchside

saliva test for concussion in the next few years

of Birmingham want to make a hand-held test which could provide

instant results so they're taking saliva samples from players

in the top two tiers It's the biggest study of its kind

and could revolutionise the way head What we want is to have a portable

pitch side test which can be used by doctors, if you want, in a

professional game, or potentially the parent, if they work as well as

we hope, to see whether their son or daughter has had a concussion, or a

school nurse potentially to assess whether someone has had a concussion

or not. Chris Froome has taken a big step

clever to say, like "Taking a big step," "Freewheeling towards..." You

have some time, come up with it for next time.

Devastating floods and landslides are thought to have killed more

than a thousand people in parts of India, Nepal, and Bangladesh.

Over the last month,, heavy monsoon rains have also forced

hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.

The Red Cross has described the situation as one of the worst

regional humanitarian crisis in years.

We can speak now to Hanna Butler who's from the organisation.

She's at a camp for displaced people in northern India.

Thank you for joining us. Maybe you could tell us what you have seen

while you have been there. What has your experience been? Right now I am

in a north-eastern state of India. Before this I was in the worst

affected state by the floods and also one of the poorest in India.

The flooding hit a month ago here. I tell you what, there is still a lot

of water and damage and people out of their homes. Umm, people that are

surviving are getting on with things as much as they can, but there has

been a lot of damage. The numbers are huge across the region. 41

million people are affected in India alone. The damage is such that while

people are looking after each other and surviving initially, coping

mechanisms will be stretched. They will soon start needing help with

shelter and water and with helping them get back onto their feet.

Because these floods have washed away... I have seen homes totally

washed away, and everything is gone. A couple of days ago, it looked like

I was in a lake, a river. Soon someone would tell me know, this is

where my house was. We have pictures now of people and possessions being

carried down the street by water. We have seen many pictures out of the

United States of Tropical Storm Harvey. But responding to a disaster

where you are is much more difficult. Is it possible to compare

the way that they have been able to deal with things in northern India?

What is going on in the United States is terrible as well, like

what is going on here. Here in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, the

numbers are as significant, and the infrastructure is such that it is

hard to respond. A community I met a couple of days ago, they were

flooded two weeks ago and they only got access by road to war three days

ago. In that time, they were provided with aid by the Indian

government. But it is a different landscape, the rain, way of working.

But like in the United States, it is taking a toll. We can cast a rise

over this side of the world to see what is going on. Do you feel like

you are winning at getting to grips with it? There is a long way to go.

India is huge and needs will grow. The disaster is not over when the

floodwaters recede. At this stage, rescues are still being carried out.

We are getting a clear idea of the extent of the damage. Thank you for

joining us from the British Red Cross this morning. Devastating

pictures. Umm... It is time to talk to Carol. Good morning. Good

morning. A mixture of sunshine and showers today. Some of the showers

will be heavy. Some already are. Thunder and lightning and hail. The

satellite, yesterday's rain clearing away. Look at this clump. It is

going across the north-west of England and Wales. This is quite a

potent area of showers with torrential downpours and thunder and

lightning coming out of this as well. If you are travelling, bear

that in mind. Western areas with showers to start. The rest of us,

dry. Showers developing through the day. Some of those will be heavy as

well with some thunder and hail. In between the showers, sunshine.

Temperatures responding nicely. Yesterday, part of Surrey, Sussex,

Kent, they did not get higher than 13. Today, 21. East Anglia, the

Midlands, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the forecast is the same.

A mixture of bright spells, sunshine, showers. Some of them

heavy and thundery with hail. Good sunshine in between. Through the

evening and overnight, what we find is that slowly we lose the showers.

We hang onto clumps on the coastline. Mist and fog forming. A

cold night to be the temperatures are what you can expect for towns

and cities. The countryside, much lower. In some cases, grass frost

first thing in the morning. A chilly start to the day. Under the skies,

beautiful as well. Lots of sunshine. Still showers. Extending from

south-east Scotland to south-west England. Not all of us will see

them. A peppering in the midwest to be for most of the UK, dry with

sunny spells. Temperature-wise, pretty good. 14 in the north. 21 to

go towards the south. Under the ridge of high pressure, Friday to

Saturday, again, clear skies. Another cool night. Frost around.

Again, not everywhere. Sunday, a new set of systems coming in from the

Atlantic. That will change the weather in the west. Saturday, a

chilly start. Local grass frost. Dry weather. Sunshine. One or two

showers in the south-east. This will be the exception. The cloud is

starting to build up later in the day from the west across Northern

Ireland, heralding the arrival of this new set of fronts. Sunday. That

set of fronts will approach in the west, introducing more cloud, also

some rain, and windier conditions. It is slowly going to drift east.

The eastern extent open to question. Then grinds to a halt. Sunny skies

the further east you travel. Back to you.

Thanks very much. It doesn't look too bad at all. Especially when you

see pictures from India. Oh, absolutely. We are talking about the

Prime Minister going to Japan. They have done a lot of business, and we

have heard about a deal between Japan and Aston Martin.

Lots of ground were put into place before Brexit and Japan is quite

important. -- ground work. Japan is the world's

third biggest economy, and they bought over ?10 billion

pounds worth of British goods But they're also one of the top

countries putting money into the UK with big names like Nissan,

Toyota and Hitachi employing And one of the most eye catching

deals to come out of the three day trip comes from Aston Martin

the British carmaker, has announced a package of trade

and investment deals worth It'll help secure jobs

in their plants Wales and the West He joins us from our

Birmingham studio. Good morning. ?500 million, it is a

big figure, with trade deals we hear about that all of the time. What

does it mean for you and Japan? A lot of it is to do with the cars we

will export to Japan over the next five years as part of our plan to

redevelop the product range at Aston Martin. We see Japan as a big

opportunity for us in terms of the products we sell and export terms,

so the vast bulk of that is car exports. We are also investing in

the Japanese suppliers and in a larger presence in Japan. We have

talked about being a luxury accelerator business which is all to

do in simple terms with understanding more about what the

consumer wants. When you say it is all about exports, how can you

guarantee Japanese customers will buy your cars, because that seems to

be what you're saying? Japanese customers have bought our cars for a

long time and they will be in the top five of the biggest market in

the world as we move forward. There is nothing really changing but what

we are doing is investing in Japan because we see it as a huge growth

market for and technology markets. He mentioned big market around the

world. Of course, Brexit, the trade deal to be sorted out for the rest

of the UK. When the vote to leave happened you said you were not happy

with the lack of plan from the Leave campaign. We are a year on. Are you

happy with the plan? Yes, we have seen substantial progress and we

welcome the steps the government has taken in recent months to provide

clarity. Particularly around the white paper on the customs union and

the transitional arrangements. We are pleased with what we see. We

would still like to see more clarity more quickly. I don't think you can

have too much clarity. We are very focused on this trade and making it

easy to do business around the world. With the pound as weak as it

is from a holiday perspective, for businesses like yours hasn't it been

a good thing that the pound has fallen 20%? That has helped. We

import goods and services as well. As the pound falls we pay more for

those goods and services. Yes, it has helped since the vote. Finally

on electric cars, we have talked about the future of cars in the UK,

you have a shiny car that is for petrol heads and diesel heads, that

is how I would look at it. Do you have to adapt to who your customer

is and have quieter cars that don't sound as good? We are constantly

adapting and we will be the first with a battery electric vehicle in

2019. We are on the front foot in regards to battery technology. When

you talk about sound and emotion, that is important as well. There is

no reason why quiet cannot also be beautiful. A lot of customers are

very discerning people and they will want that going forward. We are

changing and we see that as an important part of our future. Thank

you very much. The chief financial officer at Aston Martin. Quite

interesting how they are adapting. That is one that has happened today.

Yes, the vroom vroom is still important.

A law banning so-called legal highs in the UK is to be reviewed

after the collapse of the first contested cases brought under

Two separate trials of people accused of intending to supply

nitrous oxide, known as laughing gas, at music festivals were thrown

out on Wednesday after the courts heard the drug is exempt.

It raises questions over the effectiveness

of the Psychoactive Substances Act, which was introduced last year.

We're joined now by Dr Robert Ralphs, a lecturer in Criminology

and specialist in substance legislation, and Dr Oliver Sutcliffe

who's a lecturer in Psychopharmaceutical Chemistry.

Both are from Manchester Metropolitan University.

Morning to you both and thank you for coming in. Let's talk about

nitrous oxide. These are the canisters you might see on the floor

in the park and on the street. What does it do? Basically the product

even that is a gas that is used called laughing gas as an

anaesthetic medically and also in the food industry to produce whipped

cream. Where do you get these? The canisters you can see on the images

you can purchase from any food supplier if necessary. The larger

cylinders potentially would be purchased by medical and hospitals.

What is the problem when it comes to these cases in court? Why can't they

be prosecuted for intent to supply dangerous substances? When it was

referred to a blanket ban it was banned with any psychoactive effect

and it was most notably exempted for nitrous oxide, anything for food,

any medicinal purpose, and with nitrous oxide it can be used as a

whipping agent, it has a medical use, traditionally in dentistry,

also in childbirth. Quite odd, if I had a load of these canisters and

was going into this festival, it is a pretty odd defence, and I am not

making any comment on this case, if you have a load of these and you

think, I am going to whip up some cream, it won't fly, will it?

Students are coming back to university and I can guarantee up

and down the country they will be finding hundreds or thousands of

canisters. There is a lot of talk about the bake off this week and

people baking again. When you look at some of the sales online, that

can't be put down to the increasing young people getting back into

baking. People are buying them in hundreds. Where does it leave this

law? Is it fit for purpose? We had a drug policy reform group, academics,

lawyers, police forces around the country saying this was going to be

unenforceable. It is most commonly used for young people under 25 after

cannabis in the UK and that continues. What does it do to you

physically? The substance itself acts on the central nervous system

like most Psychoactive Substances Act. What it does is it has a

depressant effect causing anaesthesia, so it makes you feel

more relaxed, which is why it is used in childbirth. It has a calming

effect. Does it limit your intake of oxygen? People collapse from this.

And there can be instances when if you take enough of a substance in

like nitrous oxide or carbon dioxide your body will struggle to

potentially process oxygen efficiently and that can lead to

potential unconsciousness. This wasn't just dealing with nitrous

oxide, it was dealing with all kinds of substances. Are they affected

with this as well, or is it not a straightforward because they are not

involved in food? Six months after the act came out the government

released figures to show 500 people had been arrested linked with the

Psychoactive Substances Act. When you look deep into that 70% were

linked with possession or the attempt to supply nitrous oxide.

This act is significant. In the Metropolitan Police loan there was a

arrests -- alone there were a arrests. This is a significant case.

Thank you very much for explaining. 4 billion years from now when the

sun turns into a red giant, Cattina and Toyota will be trucking out

there through the stars - we will still be out there -- Voyager will

still be trucking out there through the stars.

Before 9am, we'll hear about the incredible Voyager mission

and learn why some consider it to be humankind's greatest achievement.

Theresa May insists she's not a quitter and vows to fight the next

The Prime Minister dismissed reports that she will stand down

It's 20 years since the death of Princess Diana.

Flowers are again being laid outside Kensington Palace.

Parents in England have until midnight to register for 30

hours of free childcare for three and four year olds,

but some nurseries warn that they'll struggle to cope.

Good morning. There were even less houses to choose from in July as the

number of houses on the market dropped to the most in 15 years.

In sport, it's transfer deadline day.

And an early deal should see confirmation of Alex

Oxlade-Chamberlain's move from Arsenal to Liverpool.

And Carol has the weather. Good morning. A chilly start to the day.

For many, a dry and sunny one. We have some heavy and thundery showers

in parts of the west, especially the north-west of England and north-west

Wales at the moment. They will develop widely through the day. I

will have more details in 15 minutes. We will see you then.

Theresa May says she wants to lead the Conservatives into the next

General Election saying she's in it "for the long-term."

The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has given his

support, but backbench Conservative MPs have told the BBC they're

sceptical she'll be able to serve the full term.

The Prime Minister is currently on a three-day trip to Japan.

There's been an awful lot of speculation about my future

There's a real job to be done in the United Kingdom.

It's about getting the Brexit deal right, it's about getting that deep

and special relationship with the EU for the future.

But it's also about getting global Britain, trading around the world,

yes, dealing with injustice within the UK, but also going out

and around the world, ensuring we can do those trade deals

which bring prosperity to our economy and bring jobs

Our political correspondent, Ben Wright, is in Japan.

Ben, it seems that even over there, Theresa May can't escape questions

She wants to talk about good foreign relations and trade, but not

everyone wants to. That is correct. This is a trip that was advertised

as a trade mission. She is here with business leaders. She wants to talk

to Japanese leaders about how Brexit will pan out, looking at a future

trade deal with Japan and the UK, yet she has also used this trip

fresh off the back of her summer holidays, three months on from the

general election which she botched, losing the Tory majority, she is

using it to reassert her authority, I think, to her cabinet and party,

making it quite clear there was no vacancy at the top and there would

not be for another five years. I asked her whether she was going to

lead the Tories do the next general election in 2022. She was emphatic

that she would. She could have said I would get through Brexit and we

would see, give some date in the future she would want to leave, but

that would immediately make her a lame-duck Prime Minister. Perhaps

there is no alternative but to be assertive about intentions to be

there for the long-term. It is a very interesting development. I

think it shows she really plans now to stick around through Brexit and

beyond. Now it is about whether the parliament agreed. Boris Johnson

backs are completely, that is clear. She has some issue with

Remain-leaning Tory MPs who want her gone before the next general

election, but for now, she has solidified her place. We will talk

to you later in the programme. For now, goodbye.

20 years ago today, Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car

crash in Paris after being pursued by photographers.

Princes William and Harry will mark the anniversary privately

but members of the public are expected to gather outside

Our correspondent, Mark Lobel, is there for us this morning.

Mark, people have already started laying flowers there haven't they?

We saw the princes at the gates taking public appearances. This is

where the people will go today. What are you seeing at the moment?

Exactly. They will come here today. As the sad news reverberated around

the world 20 years ago, now it is doing so again. People are coming

here to pay respects. After William and Harry came yesterday, people

have been arriving and putting down flowers, like these roses here which

Terry brought. You had the chance to meet her when she was alive. How did

it go? It was a privilege. She was giving blankets and food for the

homeless. She had her own feelings about the people. It happened one

night she came along and we were going to be evicted the following

day. I don't know what made her come, but she looks down at us all,

and we were all amazed, just like an angel, she spoke to us all, and one

of the guys offered her a spoonful of beans and, very sweet, she knelt

down, she said she ate already. It went down so well, it is

unbelievable. She gave everyone a lovely smile. The human touch,

working with charities. That is what her sons have taken from her. Thank

you. And in around 15 minutes,

we'll be speaking to former Welsh Guardsman, Phil Bartlett,

Many working parents in England will have been reading up

on the Government's new childcare schemes, trying to work out

The free 30 hours a week for three and four year olds that

are being introduced tomorrow, and maybe tax free childcare

But a left-leaning think tank has expressed concerns that

disadvantaged children who may benefit from early education

the most will not get it because their parents fail to meet

The Labour MP and former Shadow Education Secretary,

Lucy Powell, was the author of the report and she's here now.

Good morning. Good morning. Tell us about this report with disadvantaged

children missing out more. We found that, of the over ?9 billion extra

money the government is spending over the course of this parliament,

just 2.5% of that is going to go to the most disadvantaged. And

actually, the poorest families are missing out. Three quarters of that

money is going on in the most better off families. Poorer families are

missing out. We spend money on the early years education for two

reasons, yes, supporting working families, but also providing those

critical early educational needs that the most disadvantaged families

benefit most from. When you look at GCSE results, the biggest indicator

of how well you will do is how well you were developed by the age of

five. Those gaps at the age of five are enormous. We should be putting

more emphasis and money into making sure we have quality early education

for the most disadvantaged so that that social mobility gap does not

get more and more wide. What do you want? You want the tax free

childcare scrapped? That is the initial policy which mainly benefits

people like me, high income families. I cannot see the

justification for that, for the government to spend that huge amount

of money. You are encouraging parents to work? Most of the

evidence would suggest that certainly for higher income

families, they will work anyway, because they will meet those costs

themselves to be it is a subsidy for high-income families. It is better

to spend that money on the people who would most benefit from quality

early education at the earliest years so they get the gains through

the educational life they have. Society and the economy as a whole

will get benefits from that. We spend a huge amount of money trying

to get people to catch up through their lives. Get that money in when

they are 1-5 and you can close that before they even start school. That

is what these extra 15 hours are. But the main beneficiaries of the

extra 15 hours they are better off... The parents who earn less

than ?100,000 per year. But the distribution of those funds will

more greatly benefit the better off, just because they are more likely to

take it up because they are both in work and can both earn up to

?100,000 a year each. The analysis we have produced in this report

today with the social market foundation shows the most is

advantaged missing out almost entirely. The bottom half of

earners, they only get a quarter of the money. I don't see how you can

really justify that. A universal offer which would also avoid a lot

of the chaos and confusion we are seeing today with parents having to

apply for the extra 15 hours, that, a process they are going through, it

is causing delays to the system. If we had a universal offer with every

family qualifying, we would benefit the most disadvantaged with no

chaos. Thank you very much for your time.

The last day of August as we reflect on all the sunshine. You knew about

the meteorological end of summer. That's right, Carol, the end of

summer for you? Well, no, meteorologically speaking,

tomorrow is the first day of autumn but it's only in meteorological

terms so we can use standards to measure one year against the next

but it's different from everyone else's. Today's forecast is

unsettled. We are looking at sunny spells and heavy showers. Some do

have heavy showers already, not just heavy but also thundery. It wouldn't

be out of order to call them intense. Stretching across

north-west Wales, heading particularly through Lancashire,

where we are seeing a lot of rain in a short amount of time, accompanied

by thunder and lightning. If you're travelling this morning, a fair bit

of surface water and sprayed on the roads, take extra care. Many are

starting on a dry and sunny note. A sunny start with temperatures widely

in single figures at the moment, the exception is the south coast and

Outer Hebrides but you can see how the showers develop through the day

and really anywhere today could catch one and anywhere could see

thundery conditions with hail embedded. In between those showers

there will be lengthy dry spells with lengthy sunshine and because

they are showers some will miss them altogether. If you're in the

south-eastern quarter of the UK, what a change in terms of

temperatures being much higher, yesterday they struggled to get to

13, today we are looking at 20 or 21. Further north temperatures

actually very similar to what you had yesterday and in between the

showers there will be some sunshine. Heading on through the evening and

overnight, slowly the showers will tend to fade inland, still a few

clusters around the coastline. The cloud will break and it will be

another cool night. These are the kind of temperatures you can expect

in towns and cities, much colder than that in the countryside and for

some we will see a touch of frost in the countryside. Any patch a Jo

patchy mist and fog that's disperse is that any patchy mist and fog that

this comes overnight -- any patchy mist and fog that comes overnight

will disperse quickly. In between the showers you will still see

sunshine and it will feel pleasant, temperatures 14 to 21. Friday into

Saturday we still have a ridge of high pressure across us so a nippy

night once again with some grass frost here and there in the

countryside. That what's coming our way on Sunday, not all of us will

feel the benefit of this, if you want to call it a benefit, but it

won't be showing its hand just yet on Saturday with most of the UK dry,

sunny and pleasantly warm. Possibly a few showers in the south-east,

they will be the exception rather than the rule and later in the day

the cloud will thicken across the rest of Northern Ireland initially

and that will held at the arrival of this weather front wringing wet and

windy conditions from the west -- will herald. The further east you

are, the warmer it will be -- bringing wet and windy conditions.

Some breaking news. The online gambling company 888 Holdings has

received a big fine. Sean is here to explain. What is this about?

A website where if you played roulette or bingo online you might

be familiar with it, one of England's biggest gambling sites,

they haven't reached the standards required of them with customers.

People having problems with a gambling. There is something called

self exclusion where you can tick a box and you can't access your

account for a while. 7000 customers self excluded so they couldn't

access their account, but they were still able to for more than a year

so the gambling commission is find them up to ?8 million -- fined.

There was a technical problem and the device didn't work and the

gambling commission isn't happy they didn't notice. ?3.5 million is

deposited by people that didn't want to gamble and they betted ?50

million over ear, quite big amounts from 888 Holdings -- over the year.

This comes at a time when the government is looking at the way the

gambling industry and people affected are being hurt. Indeed. And

betting shops on the high street. Thanks very much.

It was just after midnight exactly 20 years ago today

that news began to emerge of a car crash, which involved one

of the most famous women in the world,

A short time earlier she had left the Ritz Hotel in Paris

Our Royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, looks back

at the events of that night and the days that followed.

Paris in the early moments of the 31st of August 1997. The car

carrying Diana Princess of Wales has crashed in an underpass. The driver

and her companion, Dodi Al Fayed, are dead. Diana has suffered serious

internal injuries. By the time she reached hospital she had suffered

several heart attacks. At 4am Paris time Diana is declared dead. This is

BBC television from London. A short while ago Buckingham Palace

confirmed the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. The Princess died

following a car accident... The first flowers are placed at the

palace gates. In the hours and days that were to follow, many thousands

of people added their tributes. We are today a nation in Britain in a

state of shock. At Balmoral, the Royal family go to church. Among

them are the 15-year-old William and 12-year-old Harry. No mention is

made at Church of the tragedy. Late afternoon in Paris, Prince Charles

has arrived at the hospital where Diana died, accompanied by her two

sisters. 7pm at RAF Northolt in London. The

body of Diana, Princess of Wales is born from the aircraft covered with

the Royal standard. On this day 20 years ago a shocked nation was in

mourning. Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.

We're joined now from Kensington Palace by Former Welsh Guardsman,

Phil Bartlett, who was a pallbearer at Princess Diana's funeral.

Thanks for joining us. It must bring back so many memories to you

personally and professionally. What's going through your mind as

you stand in that place? As you can imagine, 20 years on from today it

was an immense moment for all of us, to lose such a wonderful person and

to be involved in such an amazing thing, like a funeral, was

unbelievable. Thinking back 20 years now, I was 23 at the time, it was

such a big thing for such a young person. How did you come to be

chosen to have that important role on the day of the funeral?

We were over in Northern Ireland at the time and we were doing a

six-month tour, through that six-month tour we were out on

patrols around Crossmaglen and on Sunday we were out on a patrol, we

came late at night. We came in and as we came in we were told Princess

Diana was involved in a car crash and from that point we decided to go

to bed, we were woken up early in the morning, we were told to go on

parade and our company commander came out and he read out that ten of

us were going back to London to be part of that bearing party for

Princess Diana. My name was the second person getting called out. We

were all over six foot because we were in the Prince of Wales company

and it's one of those things where I think it is due to merit.

You must consider that to have been a huge honour? The eyes of the world

were watching London for the funeral, billions of people watching

screens around the world, which must have put tremendous pressure on you

but the crowds out on the street that day... Can you sum up for me

what it was like to be there in that moment surrounded by it?

As you can imagine, we were professional soldiers and the first

Battalion Welsh Guards, we were probably the underdogs in the

household division but as you can imagine, we strive to achieve a lot

of things in the Welsh Guards and to do something like this and to be

involved in something like this was massive for the Battalion and as you

can imagine the first time we actually met the public was on the

morning because we were quite isolated for the whole week when we

were rehearsing. As we were coming out of Kensington Palace, the

initial response by the public was... It set the tone for the whole

4.5 miles. That first scream of that lady who screamed," Diana, I love

you", affected a lot of us, and thinking back now, to be honest,

looking at it on TV, it was a poignant moment that set the tone

for the whole march. Her sons have spoken in the past couple of weeks

about the fact they had to follow the coffin, we are seeing pictures

of that now, what are you thinking seeing those boys at the time having

to do that as well hearing the screams and seeing the crowds?

The thing was, when we were going up The Mall and we saw the boys and we

passed the boys and they joined the back of the procession, it must have

been a massive thing for these two young boys. It's one of those things

where you could relate to it if you lost a sibling, if you have lost

your mother, how much pain they must have been going through to be... To

do what they did. You could tell what kind of characters these young

lads were and how much they were more like their mother and you can't

ask any more for these young lads -- from these young lads. They strived

and they have become people the whole world admires. They were

thereby those gates looking at some of the tributes to the their mother

yesterday. Thanks for joining us for your memories and tributes 20 years

one bathroom, you would need to have one in all of your 11- 12 bathrooms.

I would put it in my contract on deadline day. We are talking about

transfer deadline day today. Even more money will be spent in the next

few hours. It closes at 11 tonight and a little bit extra time for

Scotland. Spain as well. We will speak to John Smith, someone who

understands. Good morning. Good morning. You are putting up your

feet and relaxing and watching all of the chaos unfolding in front of

you, remembering all of the busy days you had in the past. What is it

like for an agent and a player on a day like today? It is completely

mental. The ridiculous thing is you get situations like Sanchez, for

instance, the Arsenal player, there are three of them, three of them

being transferred today. It goes all the way through the transfer window.

Evidently he might not want to stay at Arsenal. That will go down to the

wire. You have this three-month lead time finishing in the wee small

hours later tonight. It is a bit crazy. The prices are bit crazy.

However I heard you talking about the million pound toilet. Perhaps it

is not that crazy. The prices are higher in England than anywhere

else. We are hearing a player is looking to be sold to the sound of

30-40% more to England. That is because the television deals are so

large in England. Sunderland got more money for relegation and

finishing bottom of the Premier League last year than Bayern Munich,

champions of Europe. That was 94 million. The prices of a premium

unfortunately, you pay the price for an ?8.3 billion success story. One

of the things that has changed in the last two years is fans are more

involved. Players are being tracked across the world. We saw the airline

tracking website crash when Liverpool fans were trying to follow

van Dyche to Liverpool. And Riyadh Mahrez was spotted in an airport in

Paris. In the last few hours, that was tweeted. Mahrez in an airport in

Paris. It is not like we can keep movements secret any more. We never

could. Years ago I was transferring a player who could go to either

Arsenal or Everton. We used to do these deals in motorway stations. I

don't know why. I sat in a service station with Tony doing a deal with

Everton with 10-20 football fans around us peering over the table

say, "Is that what you're getting, that's good." We used to meet in

pubs and windy corners at the top of the M1. We have social media today.

People try to track players and agents and where they are going. But

essentially, these deals are done these days largely behind closed

doors using private jets. It is not that difficult to keep them, to a

degree, in a place where no one knows what is going on to the very

end. How significant is it for Philippe Coutinho and Liverpool that

the Spanish window does not close until tomorrow? I thought about that

when I was looking through all of the statistics of the past few days.

I think you have to believe Liverpool, the Fenway group, I

substantially wealthy. When they say there is no deal, I think there will

be no deal for Philippe Coutinho, not in this window. Watch in

January. Adjusting to talk to you. It will be interesting for the next

few hours. Thank you. You can follow all of the deals on the BBC sport

website. There will be a live page until the window closes at 11pm in

England and 12 at night in Scotland. There is a special football focus on

BBC One with Dan. Or just go to your nearest service station and see a

deal. Go in a website and see where people are going to be you can

follow them through the sky to see where they land. Can you? Yes!

Kyle Edmund is the last British hope at the US Open.

He beat American Steve Johnson in straight sets to get

Aljaz Bedene and Cameron Norrie both went out though.

Rain meant they were still completing the first

He injured his shoulder losing to fellow Australian John Millman.

It didn't seem to hamper him though when he smashed his racket

beyond repair after losing the third set.

Kyrios is one of a number of players to have suffered injury trouble

recently, with five top players having withdrawn from this year's US

I think the leaders we have today in the sport are open in these

conversations. They are concerned about the health of the players and

the success of tennis. I think next week as we have these meetings

together, I know this is on the document to be discussed. I am sure

we will have some robust conversations. Again, I think all

seven governing bodies are stakeholders in this conversation.

Caroline Wozniacki is out but another former world number one

Maria Sharapova is through to the third round.

The Russian, playing her first Grand Slam since a 15-month doping

ban, came from a set down to beat Timea Babos.

There is also the realistic understanding that, OK,

I have been in this situation for a while, it will take some time.

Of course, managing expectations is part of it and learning

during the match is something that I haven't done.

It may be possible to do a pitchside saliva test for concussion

in the next few years if a new study is successful.

Scientists at the University of Birmingham want to make

a hand-held test which could provide instant results so they're taking

saliva samples from players in the top two tiers

It's the biggest study of its kind and could revolutionise the way head

What we want is to have a portable pitch-side test which can be used

by doctors, if you want, in a professional game,

or potentially the parent, if they work as well as we hope,

to see whether their son or daughter has had a concussion,

or a school nurse potentially to assess whether someone has had

Chris Froome has taken a big step towards winning the Vuelta a Espana

title as he opened up a big lead on the field

Froome is aiming to become the first rider to win the Tour de France

and Vuelta in the same year since Frenchman Bernard Ee-no in 1978.

I mentioned Riyadh Mahrez in the airport in Paris. You might expect

him to go to Italy or the transfer. The fan who took the picture said he

was flying to Spain, to Barcelona, in fact. I thought he was going to a

service station. Clearly not. We will find out this time tomorrow.

Thank you. In the past hour the betting company

Ladbroves Coral has... There is a government review due the sector

operates. Gambling has traditionally been big business in Britain. In the

last year 63% of adults have had a bet either online or on the high

street. It gave the sector a gross yield of ?13.8 billion, that's the

money retained after winnings are paid out. It went on to pay more

than 100,000 people in the UK directly employed within the

industry. There has been criticism of the sector, it's reported more

than 2 million people in the UK are addicted to or at risk of a gambling

addiction. We are joined by the CEO of Ladbrokes Coral, Jim Molan. Good

morning. Talk us through this figures, are you satisfied that

these figures. We are in courage by them -- these figures. Ten months

ago -- we are in encouraged by them. There was a merger and we were

concerned whether that would affect operations but I'm delighted with

the team. I think we need to be encouraged. I've been having a look

at the initial figures, haven't had a chance to examine them closely,

but it looks like most of the increase is from online betting

through your phone rather than on the high street. It's interesting, I

wouldn't separate the retail and digital side, bearing in mind 1.3

million digital customers, which is why we've got these encouraging

digital numbers, actually came from a retail estate. The old way of

looking at it with retail and digital is the wrong way, we should

look at it as a whole, which is why the numbers are so encouraging. You

are being looked at closely as an industry and we expect that report

in the next few weeks into the future of gambling and the use of

these fixed odds betting machines in shops has been particularly

controversial. You are facing a clampdown on those surely, are you

expecting that? All we really want is certainty. From a business

planning perspective we want certainty. Ladbrokes Coral employ

25,000 people and they need certainty, as does the sector,

because we are a significant contributor to the revenues, we

support the racing industry and I think all those parties are involved

in that so certainty is an important thing for us. You can understand

certainty as a business but there are lots of support groups and

families who have told us on Breakfast they are worried about the

addictive, allegedly addictive nature of these machines and that it

has a devastating effect on people's lives. I have to say I'm very

encouraged by the BBC's introduction of this when you spoke about the act

risk two million and not the problem gamblers, for the first time a

really balanced view on it. We take it seriously and what we want to do

is make sure that we don't become the black dog in the debate with

these fixed odds terminals. We have to look at in the round. Ladbrokes

Coral are doing that. We need a sensible debate about the facts,

which is important. We've reported in the last hour or so that one of

your rivals, 888, are being fined for apparently not protecting

customers enough, vulnerable customers. It suggests there is a

serious intention to crack down on what all of you do and I'm noting

that in your report this morning, in your results, the Competition and

Markets Authority are investigating something that you have been up to

as well. Do you think you're being scrutinised extremely closely right

now? I don't, I think the gambling commission are right in their

approach and we support that. We are on a journey and we have our own

complaints with regard to the CMA, thy report, which was some time ago

-- their report. It's a continuing process. I welcome the forensics. We

take responsible gambling seriously but also from a business

perspective, irresponsible gambling behaviour and problem gambling isn't

good for business. We are working closely with the GC on this journey

where you can come and it can be a pastime. Jim Molan from Ladbrokes

Coral, thanks for joining us on Breakfast.

It is always a good time to talk to Carol to find out what's happening

with the weather. Sunshine and showers so I'm not going to be upset

by that picture, even though it's remarkable. It's beautiful, isn't it

crazy good morning. Sunshine and showers is right, that's the

forecast today -- isn't it crazy good morning. Some have been heavy

overnight and some have thunder and lightning embedded -- isn't it?

. The heaviest showers have been in parts of Lancashire. They have been

coming in through the night, torrential, intense downpours and

it's the same too, heavy ones in parts of north-west Wales so if

you're travelling then bear that in mind, you could run into surface

water issues. A largely dry start for most of the UK, a chilly one,

the sun is out but through the date showers will develop more widely and

some could be heavy, thundery with hail -- day. In between there will

be sunshine. In the south-eastern quarter, parts of it didn't get

above 13 Celsius yesterday. Today we're back up to 20 or 21. If you're

out of the showers in the sunshine, wherever you are it won't feel too

bad at all and there will be sunshine in between those showers

but if you catch a shower you will know all about it. Only slowly

through the evening and overnight we start to lose those showers but

there will still be clusters close to the coast and under clearing

skies we'll have patchy mist and fog forming, but also a cool night.

These temperatures, eight to 13, they what you can expect in towns

and cities. These temperatures, one to four, really represent the

countryside, so there will be a touch of frost in some sheltered

areas tonight. That means tomorrow morning it's a cold start but a

beautiful one under clear skies, there will be a lot of sunshine

around. Through the day we'll see further showers develop especially

from south-east Scotland to south-east England but they are

showers, not all of us will catch one, and you can see a lot of dry

weather, fewer showers in the west and temperatures, 14 to 21. We still

have a ridge of high pressure across our shores through the night and

into Saturday, which means once again it's going to be a chilly

night with some local grass frost and it's not until Sunday that we

see the arrival of some weather fronts. On Saturday, don't forget

that chilly start, a touch of frost here and there but mostly in rural

areas. A lot of sunshine, a log of dry weather on Saturday. You could

catch the odd shower in the south-east but that will be the

exception rather than the rule -- a lot of. Late in the day the cloud

thickens into the west, heralding the arrival of weather fronts

bearing cloud, rain and strengthening winds. The further

east you travel during the course of Sunday, the drier and sunnier it's

going to be and the further south east you travel, the warmer it's

going to be as well. There will be a lot of dry weather around if you

skip the showers. Naga and On, I don't know if you noticed on the

chart, torrential rain in Blackpool and nothing in Liverpool over the

last few hours -- Naga and Jon. Strangely isolated! I was in Milton

Keynes yesterday, showers north and showers south, it skirted the golf

course I was on. That's the nature of showers, some of us miss them all

together. Thanks very much, Carol. There are yet more signs

of a slowing housing What have you seen if you're looking

to buy you might be happy with a slowing market but if you're looking

to sell it could be trickier, this morning we are looking at fewer

sellers with the day we've got. There've been quite a few

indications coming through showing that the housing market has started

to slow sharply since the middle This latest data is from

the body that represents It says the number of houses

being put on the market fell to its lowest level in July since it

started keeping records in 2002. This is on the back of data from one

of our biggest mortgage providers. According to Nationwide,

house prices fell a smidgen On the whole, house price growth

over a year has been slowing as well house prices

now at around 2%. Lucian Cook, head of research

at property group Savills Good morning. Do you guys see a

slowing down? I think undoubtedly there is a slowdown in the housing

market and I think there's quite a few things behind that. Since the

credit current people are moving less often, especially people

trading up the ladder, we have mortgage regulation which restricts

them -- credit crunch. Buy to let have been -- by the let investors

have been affected by taxation and mortgage regulation so their numbers

are down that buy to let. And in London, long period of house price

growth and people are beginning to hit up the limits of what they can

borrow -- by the let. It affect how many people can move and who can

move -- buy to let. Then you have economic and political uncertainty

as a result of Brexit making people more cautious. With the statistics

in July, fewer people putting their houses on the market, white? All of

those reasons before and people have become that much more cautious. Is

it a good thing? If it means house price growth isn't as much as it was

before, how often we talk about first time buyers getting on the

market is amazing, good for them? Low-level first house price growth

is good, difficulties for house -- first-time house buyers getting on

the market. The average in London for a first house is pushing up

?100,000. I suppose what is different is. Transactions is about

the vibrancy of the market and people's ability to move. If you

have fewer houses to choose from when you're hunting around, could

that mean you end up with more buyers for that one warehouse you

really like? Do you see pockets of different things happening to house

prices? There's different things happening in different markets but

one of the things we know from some of the lead indicators, take it from

the RC IS, buyer enquiries are muted so the two are largely moving in

unison. Countrywide, the strongest markets at the moment, all markets

have levels of house price growth that have weakened in all markets

but generally the strongest market tends to be that market of Middle

England. It used to be London, London has slowed significantly to

the point where London house price growth is around 1.2%, the same as

north-east England where there are clearly different things going on. A

buyer's market or a seller's? In a lot of the country it has moved to

be a buyer's. Thanks very much. We will keep an eye on this in the

coming months. Often used as a bellwether to the economy, how we

feel about house prices. Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. This is Breakfast with

Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay. Theresa May insists she's not

a quitter, and vows to fight The Prime Minister dismissed

reports that she will stand Also this morning:

flowers are again being laid Parents in England have

been fined ?7.8 million this morning for failing

to protect vulnerable customers. In sport, it's transfer deadline

day, and an early deal should see confirmation

of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's move Good morning. It is a chilly start

to the day for most of us, but a dry one with a fair bit of sunshine.

However, there are some showers in the West, some are harmed us, and

some of those in other areas could also be thundery, with hail. More on

that in 15 minutes. Carol, thank you.
