England are into the semi finals of the womens world cup after a 3 0 win over norway last night. Mike is here. What a fun match to watch. It was brilliant, phil neville said it was the best performance since he took over, and world cups are all about momentum and peaking at the right time. You dont want to start to good, but england had a slow start, and did what they needed to do. Now they are opening up and letting themselves play with real style. Not just the attacking play, but some of the defending. Steph houghton at the back was brilliant. A great team goalfromjill scott, back was brilliant. A great team goal from jill scott, and then back was brilliant. A great team goalfromjill scott, and then ellen white, and to cap it off, a great strike from a free kick from lucy bronze. Lets take a look. Commentator heres lucy bronze. What a goal, what a goal norway mill, england three. Once they tried it, twice they tried it. Now they pay the costs. England are 30 now they pay the costs. England are 3 0 up in this world cup match. It almost took the net off, it was gaining power as it went through the net. I will go through the back pages in a few minutes, but it has made the back pages this time, dominating the back pages as well as social media. Well, there has been reaction on social media overnight to englands emphatic win. Nikita parris wrote. Toni duggan says. And even the spice girls got involved. They wrote. Georgia stanway has asked glastonbury to put the match on a big screen, as her brother was there. And they duly obliged, next to the west holt stage. This is how the crowd reacted. We will have a look at that a little later, or in a moment. In the end, thousands of them were singing its coming home, which we will hear later on. In terms of the next game, we dont know who we will play next, but the match is next week. In lyon, either france or their rivals. Looking at the crowds, here we go. Drinks in the air as the sun goes down. Sunset at glastonbury. No music on the stage, just the big screen. If we listen, you can hear a familiar song you might just recognise. Its coming home. Its coming home. And it will be their toughest match against france oi their toughest match against france or the usa, but the belief, momentum, confidence and swagger that they played with yesterday, they can take on anybody, i am sure. Theresa may will demand justice for the victims of the salisbury nerve agent attack when she meets Vladimir Putin at the g20 summit injapan in the next few hours. In an interview with the Financial Times this morning, the russian president has downplayed the poisoning, and said he believed the uk was interested in fully restoring relations with the kremlin. Mrs may has been speaking to our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. Well, lets be clear. The use of nerve agent, a chemical weapon, on the streets of salisbury was a despicable and irresponsible act. We saw an innocent british citizen die asa saw an innocent british citizen die as a result of the use of this nerve agent. We have been clear. We have set out the evidence. Charges have been laid against two russian individuals. I want to see those individuals. I want to see those individuals brought to justice. Russia does not allow the extradition of its nationals, but european arrest warrants are out for those two individuals, and if they set foot outside russia, we will be making every effort to ensure that they are brought to justice. Russia needs to recognise its act and stop acting in this way, and stop its other destabilising activities around the world, including, for example, the use of disinformation and cyber attacks. What can you say to president putin that might make a difference . I will be very clear with president putin about what i think about russian acts around the world, and the impact those acts are having. 0ur correspondent Karishma Vaswani joins us now from japan. Good to see you. It is interesting that theresa may seems quite forthright here, because relations havent been exactly buoyant between the two countries of late. No, indeed. And it will be interesting to see exactly what will be discussed when the two leaders meet later today at the g20 summit in osaka. Ina later today at the g20 summit in osaka. In a wide ranging interview with the Financial Times, the russian leader said this matter was something that had already been settled and should be settled, rather, between security agencies rather, between security agencies rather than as a discussion between himself and the Prime Minister. So, given the fact that we have heard these strong comments from theresa may, it will be interesting to see exactly what will be discussed when the two sides meet, and thrash out some of the thorny issues between them. Inc you very much. The foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has accused his conservative leadership rival, Boris Johnson, of getting facts wrong on brexit, and has urged him to be straight with people.

There is growing anger within the labour party over the decision to readmit Chris Williamson, the mp suspended for comments about anti semitism. 0ne ofJeremy Corbyns key allies, the chairman of the Momentum Group jon lansman, hasjoined calls for a rethink on the decision.

Adult butterflies were caught in belgium and brought to the uk on the eurostar, before being released at a top secret site in Rockingham Forest in northamptonshire. Now, they have had babies. Little caterpillars, a little family. Beautiful images.

He has been speaking to john maguire he came to london to improve his english. Injust nine months he had made friends and was popular with colleagues. 0ne over, his parents say, by his smile. Because of this terrific smile. I have to say that this was our main goal in our education, to keep his mind alive as long as possible, until this terrible night when they take it off. In so brutal, cruel manner. He was working at a french restaurant in Borough Market when he heard the attackers crash their van. During the inquest, his parents have heard and seen on cctv much of what happened. He rushed from the restau ra nt happened. He rushed from the restaurant to help. We see on the cctv, there is no doubt. There is one of his colleagues who goes down in the room, he pushes him and goes straightaway. He goes to the stairs. Imagine whats happening, what could happen in his head, going to help, with that generosity, and being cut down. Alexandre was young, just 26 yea rs down. Alexandre was young, just 26 years old, and with plans for the future to return to france and to record music with philip, a musician. Im thinking of what i am going to do now, the inquest is over. I have to rebuild a life, i have two other kids. They need me. They have the right to live their youth, like alexandre. I am going to do something with them. They will be a movie, or a documentary. Do something with them. They will be a movie, ora documentary. I do something with them. They will be a movie, or a documentary. Iwould like to see all the people who saw him that night, you know . I would like to reinterview the nurse. She saw him with the neck cut. The inquest. We know that it is in one of the last phases, and she was beautiful. It is a wonderful woman. She was.

What a wonderful location. Mat, where are you, what is that . Good morning. Im in worcestershire at wick farm. As you can see, there are clusters of delfin the flowers. A beautiful scene, slightly grey skies overhead, but looking at the shots from a while back with the sunshine really embracing the colours of these flowers. These will be harvested through next week and they will be dry and turned into real confetti, good biodegradable confetti, good biodegradable confetti to be used at weddings across the uk in the weeks and months ahead. Its a beautiful sight. You can look at these around the flowers and we will interview the flowers and we will interview the manager to find out what goes into making these flowers and the confetti to make it look so splendid. As i said, a bit grey overhead, not staying that way. Most have seen the sun sign yesterday and it will be back again today. Sunshine. Not only will it be sunny but increasingly hot today, particularly in Western Areas. The heat will last a few days before things turn cooler, back to where we should be for the time of year but the heat has been soaring in parts of central and western europe during the past few days, france the latest place to beat theirjune temperature record and with southerly winds developing in Western Areas today, we could see that warmth. Not reaching their dizzy heights, but we could see temperatures get to the upper 20s, maybe 30. Lots of cloud to begin with in parts of east wales and england in particular but a lot of that will disappear by mid morning. Some cloud in eastern coastal counties will continue throughout and a bit in the very far north of scotland, particularly shetland. For most, strong sunshine overhead. Strong winds, in the south west touching gale force and many Western Areas could be in the mid to high 20s and could get to 30 in the highlands of scotland but in eastern areas, a bit cooler. Temperatures in the teens because of the breeze but the teens because of the breeze but the sun will be every bit as strong. The low cloud will roll in back of the north sea tonight, eastern scotla nd the north sea tonight, eastern scotland seeing that into tomorrow morning especially. Clearer skies tonight and temperatures shouldnt drop away too much. 0n tonight and temperatures shouldnt drop away too much.

This time eastern areas most likely to the highest temperatures across the country. Western areas will have cloud tomorrow and a fuchsia, some with under in western scotland, but most places dry, sunny and eastern areas hottest, high 20s and eastern areas hottest, high 20s and low 30s in Eastern England a few showers. In the mid 20s. 0n sunday, a lot more cloud, the temperatures will drop as a cold front passes through. Heavy thundery showers in Western Areas but elsewhere, sunny spells and temperatures in the low two mid 20s. The son will be very strong and pollen levels very high. I tell you something, im very pleased i took my hayfever medicine this morning looking lovely, thank you very much. It is nice to get out to the countryside. Who knew there was Something Like a confetti farm you live and learn lets take a look at todays papers. The Financial Times has an interview with Vladimir Putin. Speaking to the paper on the eve of the g20 summit injapan, the russian president claimed liberalism had become obsolete, as the public turned against immigration, open borders and multiculturalism. Hes due to meet Prime Minister theresa may later this morning. The times reports borisjohnson is preparing an emergency budget for a no deal brexit if he becomes Prime Minister. The paper says mrjohnsons plans include tax cuts, an overhaul of stamp duty and an assault on regulation. Staying with borisjohnson, the mail this morning leads with its claim that the bbc censored an outburst from the former foreign secretary, where he is alleged to have insulted the french in a fly on the wall documentary, after Foreign Office officials lobbied for the segment to be cut out. A bbc spokesperson said the programme set out to reflect the realities of life inside the Foreign Office and the Production Team were satisfied that the programme achieves its ambitions. Meanwhile, the guardian carries a warning from brussels that Boris Johnsons use of what are described as false promises in his bid to become Prime Minister is locking britain in to a no deal brexit.

Really instrumental in creating apples unique design. Now he is leaving to set up his own firm. Lots of questions about what he will do next. An interesting timing because apple is now moving away from products, because many of us away from products, because many of us have the things we already want from apple and they are moving towards services to hope to make more money. Things like tv streaming, subscriptions to Cloud Computing because the hardware, while successful, doesnt make as much money as they want. Influencing our lives and we didnt even know it finally englands success at the world cup is being splashed big time over the back pages. It took a while in some of the back pages. This is the daily mirror. A great picture, celebrating the goals, notjust the fantastic strike by lucy bronze but the team goals from jill scott and ellen white. Which ones are we going to see . This is the first one. A slight mistake by the norwegian defence. That was early on. I like the second goal, at first you think it is offside, ellen white scoring, a beautiful move. Ill talk through her celebration, the rings around her celebration, the rings around her eyes, her celebration, the rings around hereyes, in her celebration, the rings around her eyes, in tribute to her favourite Wonders League player who plays for cologne and he does that. And then this thunderbolt from lucy bronze. Glory in our sights is another headline, roaring success. Bronze is pure gold, the back page of the sun. The papers thinking england can go all the way, even though they have to play france or the usa in the semifinals in lille on thursday. In contrast, the cricket team, Jonny Bairstow says you want us to fail, a very english thing for people to want them to fail at the cricket world cup in their hosting tournament. They play england on sunday, last chance saloon, two more matches to play and they have to win both to get to the semis. Who is he saying that at . Kevin pietersen and Michael Vaughan has been criticising the team but they have lost too many games. And they have lost too many games.

The audience figures could be the highest ever seen in the womens game. All around the world its been getting great figures stopping i spoke to a norwegian commentator yesterday before the game and he said more people watched their last match against australia than the Champions League final. Now i want to hear his commentary. They go crazy. He was speaking to me from his garden in oslo. They are famous, you guys took one hell of a beating many years ago baseball coming to london this weekend, a full preview tomorrow, historic match, the first time a Major League Baseball match will be played in europe at the london stadium, which has been transformed.

Lets see how people are coping. Right now it is 7pm, i am biking home and it is 38 degrees. Luckily weve been having i creams everyday for thats keeping a school.

Theresa may says she will demand justice for the victims of the salisbury nerve agent attack when she meets Vladimir Putin at the g20 summit in japan this morning. In an interview with the Financial Times, the russian president has downplayed the poisoning, and said he believed the uk was interested in fully restoring relations with the kremlin. But mrs may says russia needs to accept responsibility. I will be very clear with president putin about what i think about russian acts around the world, and the impact those acts are having. Russia needs to recognise its acts and stop acting in this way, and stop its other destabilising activities. There is growing anger within the labour party over the decision to readmit Chris Williamson, the mp suspended for comments about anti semitism. 0ne ofJeremy Corbyns key allies, the chairman of the Momentum Group jon lansman, hasjoined calls for a rethink on the decision. Mr williamson had been suspended after saying the party had been too apologetic over accusations of anti semitism. The british designer who helped turn apple into the worlds most valuable company is leaving to set up his own business. Sirjony ive designed the imac, ipod and iphone during nearly 30 years with the firm. His new venture will be called lovefrom, and will reportedly focus on wearable technology. Scientists in brazil say they have unearthed the fossilised remains of an entirely new species of dinosaur. It is thought the animal lived around 90 million years ago in the south west of the country. The paleontologists who discovered the remains say it is part of the the velociraptor and the Tyrannosaurus Rex family. This is such a good story. I love dinosaurs. The only problem with what we just saw there is we didnt see what it would have looked like. If it is part of the velociraptor and her Anna Soros Rex family, it is the clause and the short arms. I dont know why i am impersonating a dinosaur. And big teeth. They all had big teeth. Apart from the diplodocus. Anyway, you didnt come here to talk about that. Lets celebrate what an emphatic victory. For the first time, a senior england tea m for the first time, a Senior England Team has reached successive semifinals at three major tournaments. No other team has done that before at senior level for england, so they have made history already. They want to go the one step further and reach the final. It is all to play for against france or the usa. It was a fantastic night for england. A 3 0 win over norway has taken them into the semi finals of the womens world cup. Katie gornall was watching in le havre. This was meant to be englands toughest test yet, and they passed it with flying colours, looking more together than ever. Norway were made together than ever. Norway were made to look ordinary from the start. Ellen white usually finishes these in her sleep. Fortunately, jill scott had her back. England had hit top gear. This was a display of brilliant efficiency, engineered by Nikita Parris and finished by white, this her fifth goal of the tournament. But the best was yet to come for england, as lucy bronze showed why her manager calls her world number one. Hands up if you like that one. England went flawless, but when norway threatened, houghton was there. And englands captain had an impact at both ends, winning the final penalty. In the end it didnt matter. England had seized them moment. England have answered every question asked of them at the world cup. They have answered a very good side ina cup. They have answered a very good side in a way to set up a blockbuster semifinal against either the holders, usa, orthe blockbuster semifinal against either the holders, usa, or the hosts, france, and on this evidence england will fear neither. I think what you have seen tonight, you have seen that lucy bronze is the best player in the world, without a shadow of the doubt. I have said it once, i have set it three times. There is no other player later in the world, there is no other player that has her athleticism, her quality, and i am very lucky. I played fullback, but never, ever to that level that she plays out. She is the best player in the world. Unbelievable. Ithink plays out. She is the best player in the world. Unbelievable. I think we know now, usa or france, they are going to be a top team. Were going to have to raise our game again, another level. But we are excited. We know we can match it against either of those teams, but we are excited to head to leon tomorrow and get our rest and watch the rest the quarterfinals. Lyon. You may remember that england midfielder georgia stanway had appealed to organisers, of the Glastonbury Festival to screen the game as her brother was there. They did just that, and music fans sang a familiar song, as the goals went in. Its coming home. Another set of fans in jubilant mood, singing songs. India captain virat kohli was man of the match as they thrashed west indies by 125 runs at old trafford in the cricket world cup. He hit 72, as india virtually booked their place in the semi finals. And their bowlers then took west indies apart, ending their slim hopes of qualifying, all out for 143. India are unbeaten, and on sunday they play england, who are already struggling to make the semis. The last time england hosted the world cup, in 1999, who was that they felt to . Hopefully for england fa ns they felt to . Hopefully for england fans history wont be repeating itself. British number one kyle edmund recovered from a set down to beat compatriot dan evans and reach the semi finals at eastbourne. Evans showed the form that has brought him two grass court titles this month, as he dominated the first set, dropping just one game. But edmund fought back to give himself a confidence boost, going into wimbledon, which starts next week. Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber made the semi finals of the womens event with victory over former world number one simona halep. She will play the unseeded tunisian 0ns jabeur, who knocked our britainsjohanna konta earlier in the week. There was agony for britains liam broady, as he was knocked out in the final round of wimbledon qualifying. He was two sets up against frenchman greg berrere, before losing in five. He will miss out on wimbledon. But what an achievement for the american cori gauff. She is the youngest player to qualify for the main draw at wimbledon in the open era, at 15 years and 122 days. The night before the match, she was taking a science test for her school back in florida. She says she was inspired to play tennis by Serena Williams. She will be one to watch next week. 15 years and 122 days. What does the open era mean . It goes back to 1968. That is what we call the open era. And in the womens game, they have been some very young champions. Tracy austin was 17 i think. |j been some very young champions. Tracy austin was 17 i think. I think just 18. It all starts monday, and sally will be there live on monday morning, talking to Serena Williams. We can hear that on monday. John mcenroe is a man of many talents. Legendary tennis player, legendary commentator, and he loves to play a bit of Bruce Springsteen too. Take a look. To me, he isjust shouting. If you wa nt to to me, he isjust shouting. If you want to see more of that. John mcenroe still rockin at 60 is on bbc one on sunday night at10 30pm. That was recorded at a pub, it probably doesnt do him justice. He was shouting. I am not criticising, iam was shouting. I am not criticising, i am saying enjoy your music, but thank goodness he was good at tennis. You cant be serious know your strengths. Know your strengths. Theresa may is injapan for her final g20 summit as Prime Minister, and today shell meet russian president Vladimir Putin. It is the pairs first formal talks since the salisbury nerve agent attack, but downing street says the meeting does not represent a normalisation of relations between the uk and russia. Were joined now by russian political analyst mark galeotti. Good morning to you. What do you think is going to be the tone of this meeting . Well, look, this is a meeting of two people who are frankly not known for their open approach. They are both quite awkward, so i imagine it will be quite stilted and formal, because if nothing else there is a very bad relationship currently between russia and the uk. 0k, relationship currently between russia and the uk. Ok, so bringing up russia and the uk. Ok, so bringing up the novichok attack in salisbury, how do you think that will be reacted to buy president putin . Well, he has already foreshadowed his response in an interview with the Financial Times. He will say obviously of course it wasnt us, but in any case it is not important. In his interview he said these spy issues are not worth five codecs, 5 cents. He will want to move forward in terms of trade and economic activities. Clearly he wants to get the spotlight off geopolitical adventurism and he hopes as britain moves towards brexit will be more open for business copeks. Moves towards brexit will be more open for business copeks. How useful is it to have theresa may at this meeting . She is the outgoing Prime Minister and no longer the leader of the conservative party. On one hand it will stick in a lot of peoples craw given what happened in salisbury, but also, diplomatic conversations are not a prize for good behaviour. But secondly, i think it is really important because while on the one hand the russians will not put much weight on theresa may the politician, precisely because she has one foot out of the door, on the other hand she does represent the uk. Toutant is pretty much insulated in a bubble of courtiers and advisers, and probably does not get to really hear the bad news. I think it is very important that World Leaders can look at him face to face and say you messed up, and russia still has to pay for that. We have two men who are vying for leadership of the conservative party now. Both have experience as foreign secretary, of course, Boris Johnson and jeremy hunt. Thinking about their relationship, the meeting is happening, but one of us is going to be the leader. If they remain Prime Minister, how do you think their relationship with food and will develop or change . Think their relationship with food and will develop or change . M think their relationship with food and will develop or change . It is going to be difficult, because it is overshadowed by the fact that russia is continuing to spy on us, to interfere with our politics, to spread disinformation, and so forth. That said, it really depends what putin wants, in terms of his relationships. He is very much instrumental, in this respect. If he is hoping to build some kind of more positive relationship with the uk, he will probably want to work with somebody who is more deals oriented, but also somebody who is more details oriented, because that is prudents approach. 0n the other hand, if all he wants to do is disrupt the uk, he will probably wa nt to disrupt the uk, he will probably want to deal with someone who is more of a showman. So in some ways, whether you would prefer to have a jeremy hunt or borisjohnson Prime Ministership depends on his ambitions, but either way, ministership depends on his ambitions, but eitherway, no one ministership depends on his ambitions, but either way, no one is going to become some great friend of russia so long as russia continues to lie about what happened over the skripal case. Thank you very much. The upside of getting up very early in the morning in summertime on a day like is places look beautiful, all sorts of places. And this is where matt is doing the weather for us where matt is doing the weather for us today. We are in worcestershire. Explain what is happening on this farm, because it looks absolutely stunning. It does, charlie. Beautiful colours. All of the flowers, like the delphiniums just around me, will be harvested on monday and dry and turned into real confetti. There is a confetti field, you may have never known, but this is the farm that has done it. Its been farmed by the Hudson Family for around 250 years. Diversifying a short while ago to produce these stunning fields. They come into bloom in june, stunning fields. They come into bloom injune, and they are open to the public as well but only for ten days. If you come here on monday, you will be too late because these will all be harvested and they will be dry and the vast majority will be used as confetti in weddings across the country this summer. Being real petals, very environmentally friendly and biodegradable. We will be looking amongst these beautiful colours throughout the morning. Theres some cornflowers here as well. Looking even more splendid with the sunshine, and there will be some through today across the vast majority of the uk. Looking at the forecast, a sunny and hot day across the uk, tapping into some of the heat from Continental Europe through the next 48 is. Cooler on sunday, so bear with it if you dont like the heat. 48 hour is. The western half of europe has seen red hot heat, and as we get a southerly wind, a bit more warmth and humidity. A windy day towards the south west of the country, but the south west of the country, but the wind will help to break up some of the cloud in parts of eastern wales and england. Grey at the moment, not lasting to long. Low cloud around north sea coasts, temperatures only in the mid teens because of the breeze from the cool sea but further west, temperatures will soar, mid to high 20s quite widely, 27 or 28 in Northern Ireland and we could get 29 or 30 in the highlands of scotland. If you think thats hot, spare a thought for those in france, we could see record breaking 455 this afternoon. Yesterday 5aw record breaking 455 this afternoon. Yesterday saw the highestjune temperature, the all time record could go today stopping more heat today as we go through the country, pretty warm and humid tonight for most of you. Some of the low cloud will return to eastern parts of scotla nd will return to eastern parts of scotland and north east england in particular. Elsewhere, clearskies and that will mean 20 as we start tomorrow morning. A hot and sunny weekend, this time mainly central and eastern areas. A boost to the temperatures on eastern coast as we lose the easterly flow and some showers in the west could bring thunderstorms. Most will be dry, 34 the high in the south east corner of the high in the south east corner of the country on saturday afternoon. Mid205 the country on saturday afternoon. Mid 205 further west. Dry at glastonbury, only the small chance ofa glastonbury, only the small chance of a shower into sunday. A lot more cloud on sunday, we will have lost the hot and humid conditions as we go through sunday. Temperatures will generally be in and around the mid 205 at its highest, low 205 to the west of the country. More co mforta ble the west of the country. More comfortable as we go into sunday after a hot couple of days. Into next week, temperatures might lift a bit as we go through many areas after a few showers in the north of scotland, dry in the south, which bodes well for the first week of wimbledon. Back to you both. Doesnt it look beautiful, and are we going to come back to earth with a bump with any . That is mean it did look lovely. Business. Theres this dialogue about what iss, its been going on a while but this is crunch time. We are hearing from a lot of big manufacturers, they have been most vocal and this time its the turn of psa, the carmaker, you may not have heard of them but they own vauxhall and peugeot and citroen. Their newest model, the new version of the astra, will be made in the uk but theres a catch. It depends on the deal we get with brexit. They say their future investment in this country is dependent on what sort of brexit deal we get and on the unions agreeing to a new deal for workers. They havent given any more info but we think they want the government to agree to frictionless trade with the European Union, that means they wouldnt have to pay any taxes to send parts or their finished cars over the uk eu border. They dont want checkpoints or anything. That would make it so much more difficult for business, getting the parts in and getting the cars out. The smmt, which compiles these figures for the industry, also warned the impact of a no deal brexit could be seismic. That is a significant word. Notjust this company saying it, we are reporting lots of other companies. Who else has been talking in the auto sector . Japanese firm nissan had a change of heart earlier this year and decided not to make its new x trail car at its sunderland plant. Brexit wasnt the only reason but they said it was making it harder to plan for the future. Weve also heard from another japanese firm, honda. They surprised a lot of people when it announced plans this year to close its factory in swindon. The decision was mainly due to its plan to make electric cars outside the uk, but brexit is also thought to have played a role. Ford yesterday confirmed more job losses across europe. Weve already heard a lot from them. It comes after the Company Announced the bridgend plant would shut by 2020 with 1,700 layoffs. You get a sense of what exit could mean. They have warned 6000 jobs are at risk if we leave with no deal. There is even more this is such an important industry for the uk. Jaguar land rover cut 4,500 jobs, mainly in the uk, at the beginning of the year. They export a lot of what they make. Additional complications would make it difficult for them. Theyjoined bmw and peugeot by temporarily shutting down their plants in april because of brexit uncertainty. Finally mini, owned by bmw, is one of the most famous british exports but last month they said they would need to consider moving production out of the uk in case of a no deal brexit. Brexit not the only issue, its about a move to electro veal calls electric vehicles, the fall in sales of diesel vehicles, moving to chinese production but its the worry over borders. We rely on selling to the eu more easily but if that doesnt happen it could affect the way cars are made here and subsequently the jobs and factories. They will be watching closely. all those cars come across at the same time, will there be a massive. 0n the table, can we see what happens . I was really worried, they kept coming in. I thought there would be some kind of accident you we re would be some kind of accident you were worried about your coffee on the edge of the desk. Have they gone away . There will be a traffic ram at the borders if we dont get a decent deal with the European Union traffic jam. Can we deal with the European Union trafficjam. Can we have deal with the European Union traffic jam. Can we have some deal with the European Union trafficjam. Can we have some more cars . Thank you very much. 50 years ago today, a riot in new york proved to be a watershed in the gay rights movement. It gave birth to a celebration of the lgbt plus community known as pride. Josh parrys been looking back at how stonewall changed attitudes. 0ne friday night in 1969, at a tiny new york bar called the stonewall income of the fightback against. After one raid too many, and outlawed lgbtq after one raid too many, and outlawed lg btq plus after one raid too many, and outlawed lgbtq plus community riot. 0ut outlawed lgbtq plus community riot. Out of the chaos, the Gay Liberation front unites. Pride is born. Although being gay was decriminalised in 1967, there were many laws which meant gay people didnt have the same rights as those who were straight. When pride arrives in london in 1972, change begins. Maureen becomes the first out lesbian mp two years later. I thought id become a member ofa later. I thought id become a member of a boys public school. And its not just politics of a boys public school. And its notjust politics thats becoming more reflective. Ten yea rs more reflective. Ten years after the uks first pride in1980, ten years after the uks first pride in 1980, the bbc screened a documentary, a change of sex, which opened peoples eyes to trans peoples experiences. But in1981. So peoples experiences. But in 1981. So dont die of ignorance. The inequality fazed by the lg btq ignorance. The inequality fazed by the lg bto plus ignorance. The inequality fazed by the lgbto plus community were hell i highlighted in our health. What seen asa highlighted in our health. What seen as a disease for gay men is initially ignored by authorities but not the community. But in 1982.

Aids related illness stop slowly Public Perception begins to turnm 1987, on eastenders, there was the first gay kiss, tabloids went as erg motherwell questions in parliament and the public were just kind of interested. One tech in eastenders, moral panic in westminster. Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught they have an inalienable right to be gay. In 1988, another battle fazed the community. Section 28 banned the promotion of same sex relationships in schools across the country. And some battles felt like they shouldnt have been battles at all. Took until 1992 for the World Health Organization to declassify same sex attraction from being a mental illness. Soon battles become victories. I wrote the first lesbian kiss to be aired before the watershed on channel 4s side. The gender recognition act into thousand four meant that trans people were finally legally recognised as themselves by the government. Same sex couples were finally given the right to adopt into thousand five.

The sun may be shining at glastonbury this year, but 20 years ago the pouring rain helped catapult travis to superstardom.

A baby is in hospital with life threatening injuries after falling from an open window of a first floor flat. Emergency services were called to wellington street in luton at about 1pm yesterday. Police have asked anyone who was in the area at the time to get in touch. A local barber told us what he witnessesd. I come outside and i see the kid coming down.

Im sure youve heard by now we expect the temperatures to pick up significantly as we move into the weekend. 34 possible on saturday. Today is not looking quite that hot. Temperatures staying in the mid 205. It will brighten up after a fairly cloudy start, that cloud thinning and breaking to allow for some sunshine. The temperatures today reaching a maximum of 25 with an east north easterly breeze. As we go through this evening and overnight, it will remain dry and well hold on to clear skies. Well see the wind spinning round to more of a south easterly and thats going to help lift the temperatures tomorrow. Temperatures overnight not falling too far, staying in double figures, minimum of around 11, and that takes us into saturday. Plenty of sunshine to come and those temperatures significantly picking up, a maximum ofaround 34. They dip back down as we go into sunday, with some sunny spells and temperatures in the mid 205. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Bye for now. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today europe feels the heat. Wildfires rage out of control in spain.

Wild celebrations as england make it into the last four of the womens world cup, after this cracker by lucy bronze sealed victory over norway. Commentator heres lucy bronze.

Could see temperatures today pushing 40 degrees in the western half of the uk. The highest of the temperatures will be tomorrow, 34 celsius for some in the south east. Will it last . I will have the full forecast details here on breakfast. It is friday 28june. Our top story france is on red alert as the country is braced for its hottest day on record, with temperatures expected to hit 45 degrees celsius in places. Large parts of Continental Europe are sweltering in the heatwave, which has also caused wildfires in northern spain. 0ur correspondent Lucy Williamson reports. This was the heatwaves first strike wildfires in spains northern forests. Fanned by strong winds, theyve already burnt through 10,000 acres. Across the border in france, officials ordered practice drills in forest here. Emergency measures are in place across the country, National Exams postponed, hospitals and care homes on high alert, and hundreds of schools closed. With record breaking temperatures predicted, four regions have been put on red alert, the first time a heatwave has triggered frances highest weather warning. And being out of the sun doesnt necessarily mean being out of the heat. Temperatures on the paris metro can reach 38 degrees. Despite the discomfort, these few hot days arent expected to cause the kind of Health Crisis france has seen in the past. Some have accused the government of acting like a nanny state, with politicians scrambling to show they are prepared. As one paper put it this morning, ministers no longer risk being interviewed in leisurewear by their pool. The paris mayor has mapped out cool spaces around the city, including frances most famous gallery, the louvre. On display in its marble halls, the art of centuries. 0utside, simply the art of keeping cool. We will get more on the weather at home and in europe from matt in around ten minutes. England are into the semi finals of the womens world cup after a 3 0 win over norway last night. Mike is here. It is almost worth saying twice, isnt it . Three times, because they 130. Isnt it . Three times, because they 13 0. Phil neville was cocker hoop, he was saying he keeps thinking to himself sunday seven july i he was saying he keeps thinking to himself sunday sevenjuly i want he was saying he keeps thinking to himself sunday seven july i want to be bringing the world cup home won 3 0. His quote last night was you cant hide away from the fact that Something Special is happening, and england are gathering momentum. World cup winning tournaments is about peaking at the right time, doing yourjobs diligently initially, if they did the job slowly at first, but they had real belief, momentum and swagger last night, they scored an early goal through night, they scored an early goal throuthill night, they scored an early goal through jill scott and any nerves we re through jill scott and any nerves were settled. They were so dominant in allareas, were settled. They were so dominant in all areas, notjust in attack, ellen white winning the second goal, the likes of houghton making some excellent clearances, and the third goal was some special, starting from a free kick and then a thunderbolt from lucy bronze, as we can see right now. Commentator heres lucy bronze. What a goal, what a goal norway nil, england three. Once they tried it, twice they tried it. Norway didnt learn. Now, they pay the cost. England are 3 0 up in this world cup quarter final. A scorcher, and David Beckham loved every second of it. And lucy bronze has been talking about her career and life as well. Phil neville believes she is the best player in the world, but when she was 11 she was told to stop playing for her local team because she is a girl, and she is such a role model now. England women have become the first Senior England Team to reach three successive semifinals at major tournaments. 0f to reach three successive semifinals at major tournaments. Of course, they dont just want to settle for a semi final against either france or the usa, they want to go all the way. They have never been to a final before, they are ranked third in the world, but they are desperate to go all the way. Well, there has been reaction on social media overnight to englands emphatic win. Nikita paris wrote. Toni duggan says. And even the spice girls got involved. They wrote imean, it i mean, it does go on to tuesday, the biggest match yet for the lay in esses, against france. But after their performance last night, you get the feeling they wont fear anybody lionesses. Get the feeling they wont fear anybody lionesses. Absolutely the right attitude to go in with. Theresa may will demand justice for the victims of the salisbury nerve agent attack when she meets Vladimir Putin at the g20 summit injapan in the next few hours. In an interview with the Financial Times this morning, the russian president has downplayed the poisoning, and said he believed the uk was interested in fully restoring relations with the kremlin. Mrs may has been speaking to our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. Well, lets be clear. The use of a nerve agent, a chemical weapon, on the streets of salisbury was a despicable and irresponsible act. We saw an innocent british citizen die as a result of the use of this nerve agent. Weve been clear. Weve set out the evidence. Charges have been laid against two russian individuals. I want to see those individuals brought tojustice. Russia does not allow the extradition of its nationals, but european arrest warrants are out for those two individuals, and if they set foot outside russia, we will be making every effort to ensure that they are brought tojustice. Russia needs to recognise its acts and stop acting in this way, and stop its other destabilising activities around the world, including, for example, the use of disinformation and cyber attacks. What can you say to president putin that might make a difference . I will be very clear with president putin about what i think about russian acts around the world, and the impact those acts are having. 0ur correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes joins us now from japan. He rupert, good to see you. It will be interesting, wont it, in terms of personalities, i think. Yes, that isa of personalities, i think. Yes, that is a very robust theresa may speaking on this subject, making it very, very clear how she feels. Nevertheless, i think president putin has made it clear on this occasion, and he has made it clear in past instances, that as theresa may admitted in the interview, russia does not hand over people, does not allow the extradition of its citizens to foreign countries, and therefore i think it is absolutely inconceivable that president putin is going to go into that meeting today and make any concessions. However, we have heard in his interview with the Financial Times that he clearly wants better relations with the United Kingdom, and he clearly wants to somehow paper over this incident. He has said that this is an issue between the Security Services of russia and the Security Services of russia and the United Kingdom. It is not an issue that should be between governments, and that the uk and russia should have better relations. So thats maybe what he wants, but its pretty clear from what theresa may said today that she is not going to back down on her demand. But of course, we are now in the situation where everybody here, including president putin, knows that theresa may will not be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in three weeks time. So they will all be waiting to see who replaces her and what their attitude is. Thank you very much, for talking to us. There is growing anger within the labour party over the decision to readmit Chris Williamson, the mp suspended for comments about anti semitism. 0ne ofJeremy Corbyns key allies, the chairman of the Momentum Group, jon lansman, hasjoined calls for a rethink on the decision. Mr williamson had been suspended after saying the party had been too apologetic over accusations of anti semitism. Stormzy will become the first british rapper to headline glastonbury later today. Sheryl crow and george ezra are among the other acts due to perform at worthy farm, in front of 175,000 people. The weather is looking good, with temperatures in somerset expected to reach the high 205. Lizo mzimba is there for us. You have blue skies. It looks lovely, and there is always that thing at glastonbury in the morning, cant see many people. They are all there somewhere. You are absolutely right, there are more than 100,000 people on the site here but we are seeing the festival slowly coming to life. A few people really emerging from their tents behind me there, most still asleep, but it is beginning to have slight fluttering subjectivity. And of course, they are very excited. A real sense of anticipation here because people come to glastonbury for two things. They really want great music, but they are also hoping for great weather. And as you said this looks like being particularly hot one, lots of advice being given about water, sunscreen, plenty of space for shade around the site, so they are hoping people will be able to enjoy that hot weather and enjoy the music at the same time. Of course, one of the things that really characterises glastonbury is a huge range of music they have here. On the main pyramid stage, they have bands ranging from the likes of abba tribute act bjorn again, stormzy, and george ezra. Looking at the rest of the weekend, we have the likes of the killers, the cure, and kylie minogue, who was supposed to headline in 2005 but had to withdraw when she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She would finally be playing a full set on sunday afternoon. So great music, great weather, a real sense of anticipation. It will not be the hottest glastonbury ever, but to be honest they are pretty grateful when it is not rainy and muddy here. We will be talking to some of the artists involved as well, looking ahead to the next few days. Wales, scotland and Northern Ireland all had their hottest day of the year yesterday. They clocked temperatures of between 25 27 degrees celsius, as did most of england. And if you thought that was uncomfortable, spare a thought for those in Continental Europe, which is sweltering in the high 305 and low 405, and it is going to get hotter today. Lets hear how people are coping. Right now, its 7 00pm. Im biking home and its 38 degrees. Luckily weve been having ice cream every day for lunch, and thats keeping us cool. Its really, really warm here, around 39 degrees. Ive been kind of interrailing around europe, and weve not been anywhere quite as hot as this, although we are going to brig tomorrow, which is even hotter. It has been 29 degrees today, and the only thing that helps for me is to keep the curtains closed, and just open everything at night. It was 34 degrees today. I am hiking my way through the mountains. Tomorrow we head to the rioja, where its going to be 43 degrees. Its been really hot, over 40 degrees. Ive been working from home today, so i shut down all the windows, shut down all the shutters, to keep it cool inside. Its currently 36 degrees in the shade, but luckily enough, ive got a pool to keep me cool. Pool water is 26 degrees, but its absolutely lovely in there. The bbcs europe reporter gavin lee is in paris. Looking behind you there, is that one of those fountains where people are allowed in, or not allowed in, and is it necessary yet . Well, they are technically not allowed in, but for the past few days the french authorities have done nothing about it, because i guess the situation is they want people to keep cool first and foremost. You can probably hear the fountains in the background, with a brilliant view, probably the best open air Swimming Pool in the whole of paris, possibly in europe. The fact is, this was full of hundreds of people yesterday and it will be full of hundreds of people again today. And what the authorities are saying is today, tomorrow, not just here authorities are saying is today, tomorrow, notjust here but across france, across europe, that is the absolute peak of this freak heatwave we are seeing injune. We are used to temperatures an average of the early to mid 205 across paris, lyon will hit 33 later today. Add on what they called the discomfort factor, they called the discomfort factor, the humidity index, it takes about seven degrees, up the humidity index, it takes about seven degrees, up to about 40 is how it actually feels, with the pollution, the smog, the low pressure as well. For the first time, the french, as we have heard from lucy earlier, have the red risk to life alert. Possibly hitting 45 degrees. You have to go back to 2003, when temperatures peaked at 44. 1 degrees celsius, and actually 15,000 people died that year, attributed to problems with the heat. So that is why there is big concern by the authorities. They have launched an app, telling people about cool spaces, gardens to go to, everything from museums, cemeteries, the catacombs of paris, wineries, places where it is generally cooler. And certainly being here, some of these gardens around here, you see 45,000 people on average walking through, particularly around the louvre, every single day, it was pretty quiet yesterday. A lot of people taking the advice, avoiding ru ns people taking the advice, avoiding runs and staying in the shade. If you think about where you would wa nt to if you think about where you would want to be on a hot day like today, inafield, want to be on a hot day like today, in a field, flowers, sounds wonderful, doesnt it . Thats how matt arranges his hot days, thats the advantage of knowing the weather. Sunny . Im going to go here. Why, matt . We all know thats not true. Can i tell you, it isnt particularly hot at the moment, quite a breeze here. Im in worcestershire in amongst a field of delphiniums. You might not know this but these flowers will actually become confetti. This is a confetti farm in worcestershire. The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company and these flowers came into bloom this month and by monday they will all be farmed and sent off to get dried ahead of this Upcoming Season of weddings through the summer. Beautiful colours, it will look even more splendid when the sun comes out and it will today. At the moment a bit grey but hot and sunny for the vast majority, especially the western half, and even hotter air in the east but things turning cooler by the weekend so not the extreme heat they have in western europe at the moment. Parts of spain and france will get to the mid 405 as we go through today. A bit more of a southerly wind bringing more heat our way. Today, a bit grey in parts of england and eastern wales with low cloud drifting in from the with with the brisk bringing that further west. The winds could touch gale force in the far south west of england, and south west wales, but a warming wind bringing increasing humidity. A bit stuffy in Western Areas, particularly with strong sunshine overhead and we could see temperatures peaking in Western Areas at 27 or 29 degrees. Some parts of highland scotland could get to 30 celsius, the mid teens generally in north sea coasts with the wind off the sea. If youre struggling with the heat, bear in mind what it will feel like as we senior record breaking temperatures in france, where we could hit 45 this afternoon and close to record breaking in parts of switzerland and north east spain. Through tonight, we finished the day ona through tonight, we finished the day on a hot note last night, and the winds will fall light, so a humid note. Temperatures not dropping too much, 18 or 20 in some southern parts of the uk in particular and into western parts of wales. They will see low cloud drifting in again, north east england and eastern scotland to start saturday. That will break up and eastern areas tomorrow will see the hottest conditions. In the west, turning cooler, more cloud around, still sunny spells but some cloud around with some rumbles of thunder. In south Eastern England we could see temperatures peaking at 34, but 30 as possible even in north east england as well. On sunday, the cooler air will eventually be with all of us. Showers in northern and Western Areas, some heavy and thundery at times, but dry in the south east with temperatures back to more comfortable levels, 21 to 25 degrees. A fairly short lived but hot spell here, nothing compared to what were seeing in parts of europe. Back here, these flowers will be taken away on monday and dried off to make lovely bits of confetti. There you go, a bit sad to throw confetti on yourself . No sadder than you usually are. How tall are those flowers, two feet . You are so naughty 0ne foot eight actually one foot eight actually |j one foot eight actually i knew it, i knew it hes laughing now im one of those awful people that laughs at my own jokes thanks, matt, see you later sometimes doing thisjob sometimes doing this job we are lucky to see special things at special times and to meet extraordinary people, and were going to celebrate one of those moments now. Three weeks ago we were covering the 75th d Day Anniversary commemorations. There were so many brilliant moments. And if you watched that programme, youll certainly remember harry billinge, the normandy veteran who refuses to be called a hero. You couldnt be not moved by him, he was brilliant.

Im sure youve heard by now we expect the temperatures to pick up significantly as we move into the weekend. 34 possible on saturday. Today is not looking quite that hot. Temperatures staying in the mid 205. It will brighten up after a fairly cloudy start, that cloud thinning and breaking to allow for some sunshine. The temperatures today reaching a maximum of around 25 with an east north easterly breeze. As we go through this evening and overnight, it will remain dry and well hold on to clear skies. Well see the wind spinning round to more of a south easterly and thats going to help lift the temperatures tomorrow. Temperatures overnight not falling too far, staying in double figures, minimum of around 11, and that takes us into saturday. Plenty of sunshine to come and those temperatures significantly picking up, a maximum ofaround 34. They dip back down as we go into sunday, with some sunny spells and temperatures in the mid 205. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Here is a summary of this mornings main stories from bbc news france is on red alert as the country is braced for its hottest day on record, with temperatures expected to hit 45 degrees celsius in places. The authorities are trying to avoid a repeat of the 2003 heatwave, which caused an estimated 15,000 premature deaths in france. The searing heat is affecting large parts of Continental Europe, and has caused wildfires in northern spain. Theresa may says she will demand justice for the victims of the salisbury nerve agent attack when she meets Vladimir Putin at the g20 summit in japan this morning. In an interview with the Financial Times, the russian president has downplayed the poisoning, and said he believed the uk was interested in fully restoring relations with the kremlin. But mrs may says russia needs to accept responsibility. I will be very clear with president putin about what i think about russian acts around the world, and the impact those acts are having. Russia needs to recognise its acts and stop acting in this way, and stop its other destabilising activities. There is growing anger within the labour party over the decision to readmit Chris Williamson, the mp suspended for comments about anti semitism. Mr williamson said the party had been too apologetic over accusations of anti semitism. 0ur Political Correspondent iain watson is live in westminster for us this morning. For those people who havent followed this story as closely as i am sure you and others have, do you wa nt to ta ke am sure you and others have, do you want to take us back a step . Where did this start and where are we at right now . Yes, i will do my best. Chris williamson is someone on the left of the labour party, seen as quite close toJeremy Corbyn, and on a number of occasions he has spoken out not so much on the question of anti semitism directly, but on how the party has handled anti semitism. He has criticised it for being too apologetic, he has sided with some people who have been expelled for allegedly saying anti semitic things or publishing anti semitic material. So what happened was because of a pattern of behaviour, as they called it, labour suspended him. Pattern of behaviour, as they called it, laboursuspended him. But in february, as these disciplinary processes have to be gone through, labours National Executive looked at the details of the case and what they decided to do was to reinstate him. That was jawdropping for many people in the labour party. More than 120 labour mps and labour lords, labour peers, have signed a statement saying that labour should have an independent process for dealing with all of this, and that Jeremy Corbyn himself should show leadership and take the party whip away from Chris Williamson, in other words stop him being a labour mp. There is a lot of pressure onJeremy Corbyn. The irony of all of this is that although politically they are quite close, as i understand it, they havent been getting onto well in recent times, and Jeremy Corbyn expected Chris Williamson to be dealt with more harshly by the pa rtys dealt with more harshly by the partys internal processes. But because he has been criticised in the past for interfering, he is standing back from this whole process and saying he cannot get involved, he has to leave it to others. That allows opponents within his party not just others. That allows opponents within his party notjust to express their outrage on the question of anti semitism, but also to express the concern that the party leader isnt showing sufficient leadership on this issue. And remember, charlie, one more thing. The party has been investigated by the equality and Human Rights Commission because a whole lot of concerns have been raised about how anti semitism and accusations of it have been tackled. So this comes at a particularly bad time forJeremy Corbyn, and also a time when he is under pressure from his mps corbyn, and also a time when he is under pressure from his mp5 on a whole range of other issues, from exit to parliamentary d selection. So for the moment i am not sure where the issue is going to go, but ido where the issue is going to go, but i do know the pressure on the labour leader will increase. Deselection. The british designer who helped turn apple into the worlds most valuable company is leaving to set up his own business. Sirjony ive designed the imac, ipod and iphone during nearly 30 years with the firm. His new venture will be called lovefrom, and will reportedly focus on wearable technology. A butterfly that became extinct in england more than 40 years ago has bred succesfully for the first time at a secret forest location. The chequered skipper was always scarce, but died out completely in 1976 due to changes in woodland management. Adult butterflies were caught in belgium and brought to the uk on the eurostar, before being released at a top secret site in Rockingham Forest in northamptonshire. Now, they have had babies. Little fairy bits down the spine. Mike, tell us us about the sport. We had a great result last night which puts england ina result last night which puts england in a wonderful position. Absolutely, and it is the belief and the confidence they will get from this. They thrashed a very good norway side 3 0. A brilliant goal from they thrashed a very good norway side 3 0. A brilliant goalfrom lucy bronze, brilliant interceptions from the likes of houghton at the back, all in all the best performance phil neville has had since he took over. Although they will have to play france, the number four side although they will have to play france, the numberfour side in the world, or the usa, the defending champions, they certainly wont be fearing anybody. I brilliant 3 0 victory over norway has taken england into the semifinals of the womens world cup. Unbelievable. I think we know now, usa or france, theyre going to be a top team. Were going to have to raise our game again, another level. But we are excited. We know we can match up against either one of those teams. But were excited to head to lyon tomorrow and get our rest, and watch the rest of the quarterfinals. Apologies for that, that was lucy bronze talking about her victory. Phil neville says she is the best player in the world now. We will try and show you the goals in a moment, but you may remember georgia sta nway. You may remember that england midfielder georgia stanway had appealed to organisers of the Glastonbury Festival to screen the game, as her brother was there. They did just that, and music fans sang a familiar song as the goals went in. Its coming home. Isnt that brilliant . Thousands watching on the big screen. We wait to see the audiences, because they have been very strong. We have a goal within two minutes, which really set the match up. Goal within two minutes, which really set the matchup. From jill scott, lucy bronze setting her up, and ellen white, another free flowing move. She got the second, before the icing on the cake from a free kick past lucy bronze, an absolute thunderbolt, which we will see, and they could even afford that penalty miss, which was saved via parris. I got the sense watching it that there were lots of england fa ns it that there were lots of england fans in the stadium. 21,000 were in the stadium, most were england fans, i think we can say. That is the lucy bronze thunderbolts, from the free kick. You can see the reaction from phil neville, and David Beckham will have been proud of that. He goes for the high 5 and almost misses his daughter harper, leaving her hanging a little bit. It was still rising and still gaining power, you feel, as it hit the back of the net. The range of that shot really was first class. You can see why phil neville is saying she is one of the best players in the world. And just on the logistics, we move onto tuesday, the logistics, we move onto tuesday, the semi final. The logistics, we move onto tuesday, the semifinal. Already england have made history by becoming the first senior team to reach successive semifinals at three major tournaments. No mens team has done that, but england now want to get to the final, because they havent actually reached a final before. They got to the semifinals four yea rs they got to the semifinals four years ago, but this is their big chance now. They have to face the us or france, and that match is tonight, and we find out who they will be playing on tuesday in lyon, which is where lucy bronze plays clu b which is where lucy bronze plays club football. More on that in the next hour. Another large occasion, jubilant fans. India captain virat kohli was man of the match as they thrashed west indies by 125 runs at old trafford in the cricket world cup. He hit 72 as india virtually booked their place in the semi finals. And their bowlers then took west indies apart, ending their slim hopes of qualifying, all out for 143. India are unbeaten, and on sunday they play england, who are already struggling to make the semis. British number one kyle edmund recovered from a set down to beat compatriot dan evans and reach the semi finals at eastbourne. Evans showed the form that has brought him two grass court titles this month as he dominated the first set, dropping just one game. But edmund fought back to give himself a confidence boost going into wimbledon, which starts next week. There was agony for britains liam broady as he was knocked in the final round of wimbledon qualifying. He was two sets up against frenchman greg berrere, before losing in five. But what an achievement for the american cori gauff. She is the youngest player to qualify for the main draw at wimbledon in the open era, at 15 years and 122 days. The night before the match, she was taking a science test for her school back in florida. She says she was inspired to play tennis by Serena Williams. And our very own sally will be talking to Serena Williams on monday. And she is still 15 . Laura robson was the last 15 year old to make the main draw, in 2009. So those are very young tennis players, playing at the highest level, but Serena Williams, who at 36 is still playing at the highest level. It is like they are going in both directions. She is unique, Serena Williams, the way she is going, and she saves herself for the major grand slam s. But you still cant get against Serena Williams. This is the scene live at glastonbury this morning. All the tents are set up, 175,000 people will be watching. We will hear from people will be watching. We will hearfrom a people will be watching. We will hear from a couple of the act, and our entertainment correspondent will be talking to travis, who are going to be performing. Matt is in the middle of a rather beautiful field. We are in worcestershire this morning. What a beautiful location. It isa morning. What a beautiful location. It is a glorious location. Very good morning, we are in worcestershire and you can see fields of delphiniums, beautiful sense and colours, looking better when the sun comes out during the next few hours scents. The reason here is this is actually a confetti field, we grow and harvest confetti in the uk, and to tell us a bit more is the farmer and owner of the real petal confetti com pa ny, farmer and owner of the real petal confetti company, charles hudson. Thank you forjoining us. Your family have farmed here for 260 yea rs. Family have farmed here for 260 years. What made you turn to confetti . Well, i have always loved flowers a nd confetti . Well, i have always loved flowers and i was looking for something to diversify into, as most farmers have been, and one day i was in my village churchyard on a rainy morning, and on the road outside was a lot of dirty confetti. I took it in subliminally and walked into the house where i picked a bunch of flowers for my wife, and some of the petals had fallen from the bunch of flowers onto the table, and it was the same colour as the paper confetti. I suddenly thought if i make confetti out of flower petals, no one can object. Make confetti out of flower petals, noone can object. Is it making a big boost . Certainly, the whole Environmental Movement has really grown, and people are much more conscious of that sort of thing, so that has been fantastic. Because of the use of foil and paper confetti, so many venues have banned the use of it, and now they are beginning to realise there is this lovely flower petal confetti which they can use with no deleterious effect. And i guess you are very with no deleterious effect. And i guess you are very much at the mercy of the weather. Completely, completely. We move this field around every year, and in 2007 the whole field was underwater. All of our farm whole field was underwater. All of ourfarm buildings were under whole field was underwater. All of our farm buildings were under three feet of water. The petals were stuck everywhere, the tractors, the combines. But we grow lots of them, so we have got stocks to take us through issues like that. But it is very weather dependent. Would like monday for the harvest. Before we 90, monday for the harvest. Before we go, is there a favourite colour . |j go, is there a favourite colour . love the basic blue, the sort of azure loop confetti. Is that one of the favourites . It varies. Thank you for joining the favourites . It varies. Thank you forjoining us this morning, and good luck on monday. It is all harvested next week as well. If you wa nt to harvested next week as well. If you want to come down here, it is only this week you are able to come and see it, because it will all be gone next week, dried and thrown around wedding venues across the uk throughout this coming summer. The sun will be out over these beautiful delphiniums through the rest of the day. Lets take a look at the forecast, because the sun will be fairly widespread across the uk, and it will be a hot day, especially in the west. Hot in the east tomorrow and things will turn cooler on sunday. The real heat, as you have been hearing, has been across other parts of europe. Record breaking june heat and today in france we could see the all time record temperature broken here. Some of that warmth is wafting away on a southerly wind. It will be western as you feel that. The low cloud across central and eastern parts blowing across north sea coast. We could linger across some coast, and temperatures in some eastern districts around the mid teens due to the breeze coming off. A fairly chilly north sea, but come further west in the sunshine and humidity, widely into the mid to high 205. Our hotspot today could be in the North West Highlands of scotland, where we could approach 30 celsius through this afternoon. If that is all too hot for you, spare a thought for those in europe at the moment. 45 degrees is likely across the south east of france and the south of france as we go through this afternoon. 44 degrees is the all time record there, that could topple. We have seen records break across other parts of europe over the past few days. To take us through tonight, we will see some low cloud return across eastern areas, particularly eastern parts of scotla nd areas, particularly eastern parts of scotland in the north east of england. Clear skies elsewhere, a fairly humid night. Temperatures across some southern and Western Areas not going below about 18 or 18 degrees. Hottest tomorrow in eastern areas, where we could topple around 30 34 areas, where we could topple around 30 34 degrees across eastern parts of england. Further west it is going to turn a bit cooler once again. Still pretty cool in that strong sunshine we have, but a bit more cloud, the chance of showers and the odd rumble of thunder across western parts of scotland. Greater chance of some showers on sunday across northern and Western Areas. Very much hit and miss. Many places will stay predominantly dry, especially eastern areas, and with the sunshine out it will feel pleasantly warm. Temperatures back to levels they should be for the time of year, at the low to mid 205. If it gets too hot for you, bear with it. The heat here not lasting as long as it is across other parts of europe. Cooler through the second half of the weekend. Into next week, temperatures will hover into the low to mid 205, so good news for the first week of wimbledon. Thats how its looking, back to you both. Good morning thanks forjoining us on breakfast. At the end of the first full week of the conservative leadership contest we now know where the candidates stand on brexit, but what about their economic promises . Bens here to talk us through the details. Lets get down to the nitty gritty. They make promises and people start checking. And people crunch the numbers, and the ifs have been doing that to see if they add up and whether any of us stand to gain from these promises. Weve had speeches, hustings, interviews and lots of promises from the two men fighting to become our next Prime Minister so it is probably a good moment to pause and take stock of what theyve said will change if they get the keys to number 10. Jeremy hunt is the current foreign secretary and former Health Secretary of course. His big spending pledge is defence. He wants to double the amount we spend on the armed forces over the next decade. He has also promised to build 1. 5 million new homes and increase funding for social care. Weve talked about that a lot on the programme. How is he going to do that . Surprisingly he says he wants to cut the amount of tax businesses pay, a Corporate Tax cut. Businesses say that pays for itself because it makes it more attractive for businesses to be here, they stick around, make more money and that gets reinvested. So far, so good but the ifs say it doesnt necessarily work that way, because they say the Corporate Tax cut will cost £13 billion in the short term and theres no guarantee it will be made backin theres no guarantee it will be made back in the long term. As for defence ending, they think that will cost around £15 billion. Defence spending. What about Boris Johnson . The frontrunner in the race has made two big tax promises. He wants to increase the threshold for the higher rate of income tax from £50,000 to £80,000. That basically means that if youre earning over £80,000 is when you will pay the higher rate of tax, the 40 . The other big tax giveaway is to increase the point at which people have to start making National Insurance contributions. Its been pointed out that its good news for those on lower incomes but also for those on higher incomes. It could affect people across the board, notjust could affect people across the board, not just those could affect people across the board, notjust those on lower incomes. In terms of spending, he has promised to increase pay for teachers, employ more Police Officers. Two popular proposals there. Plus he would spend more money on education and social care. There arent any details about when it will happen and where the money will come from. The ifs has had a look at the tax plans. They reckon the income tax change will cost £9 billion and benefit high earners, in particular pensioners with big incomes. The National Insurance plan really expensive, about £3 billion per year, but affecting both low and high income people. The bottom line is both candidates making big promises about what it would mean. Could affect things on both sides because theres a finite amount of money in the government coffers. Theres many spending pressures in the uk. The next few years its likely we will have to spend more on health, social care and pensions as the population ages and so we already have these spending pressures , already have these spending pressures, so these sizeable tax cuts and spending increases come on top of that, so that means more borrowing and a higher government deficit. Youve gone through the figures very clearly, ben, its hard to avoid the conclusion, looking from the outside m, conclusion, looking from the outside in, these promises and the calculations dont stand up to much scrutiny stop no. And there are so many ifs, buts and maybes when it comes to these numbers. We think these numbers are so scientific, money out, money in, and we are either better off or not but what weve learned in the last few years since the Eu Referendum is theres so much uncertainty with the economy. We cant rely on guaranteed job growth, job creation and tax revenues. 0ne job growth, job creation and tax revenues. One problem is the government looks dont add up right now because theyre making less in tax revenue. Because the government ru ns tax revenue. Because the government runs on what it is getting in, they have the problem with extra spending. This is all about appealing to people. As we know, people say things when theyre in a race, an election, thats the way it goes. They say things that dont happen. Looking at the policies, weve looked at jeremy happen. Looking at the policies, weve looked atjeremy hunt and borisjohnson. Popular weve looked atjeremy hunt and Boris Johnson. Popular policies, social care, education, police, things everyone will support but the detail about where the money is coming from, when it will be spent and when we will see the extra Police Officers and teachers is the big question. Lets keep asking those questions, thats what we do hundreds of thousands of festival goers are waiting excitedly for the first band to hit the stage at glastonbury later today, including organiser Michael Eavis who says our next guest is one of the acts hes most looking forward to seeing. Its quite something for the boss to say hes looking forward to what youre going to do. Freya ridings will make her glastonbury debut on thejohn peel stage.

No hero, but more than 20 million of you have now seen harrys story on social media. Well hear about an amazing outpouring of thanks to the d day veteran. And this is the view in glastonbury this morning, the scorching start to the festival season continues, hot weather across many Western Areas today, temperatures could top 30 degrees in scotland, tomorrow even higher, 34 degrees in the south east, but will it last . I will have all the details later. Its friday, june the 28th. Our top story. France is on red alert as the country is braced for its hottest day on record with temperatures expected to hit 45 degrees celsius in places. Large parts of Continental Europe are sweltering in the heatwave, which has also caused wildfires in northern spain. 0ur correspondent Lucy Williamson reports. This was the heatwaves first strike wildfires in spains northern forests. Fanned by strong winds, theyve already burnt through 10,000 acres. Across the border in france, officials ordered practice drills in forests here. Emergency measures are in place across the country, National Exams postponed, hospitals and care homes on high alert, and hundreds of schools closed. With record breaking temperatures predicted, four regions have been put on red alert, the first time a heatwave has triggered frances highest weather warning. And being out of the sun doesnt necessarily mean being out of the heat. Temperatures on the paris metro can reach 38 degrees. Despite the discomfort, these few hot days arent expected to cause the kind of Health Crisis france has seen in the past. Some have accused the government of acting like a nanny state, with politicians scrambling to show they are prepared. As one paper put it this morning, ministers no longer risk being interviewed in leisurewear by their pool. The paris mayor has mapped out cool spaces around the city, including frances most famous gallery, the louvre. On display in its marble halls, the art of centuries. 0utside, simply the art of keeping cool. 0ur europe reporter gavin lee is in paris. Gavin, its nine oclock in france. How intense is the heat . I could see people would be very tempted to get into those fountains behind you. Yes, and hundreds have come at the trocadero fountains, technically you shouldnt, its still not an area that has been opened up for the the public. But the police havent done much about it, its probably one of the best open air public Swimming Pools with a view that you can get in the world, the eiffel tower behind you. Today and tomorrow are expected to be the tip of the spear in terms of highest temperatures, possibly a highest temperatures, possibly a highest ever record for france, red alerts have been issued. Risk to life alert, excuse me, they think they could hit up to 45 degrees. Go back to 2003, it was 44. 1 degrees, the art of keeping cool at the moment, across many schools in paris without air conditioning, theyve been closed, as lucy said, exams postponed. Many of the rail lines across france had been battling, some of the lines and trains being made to go slow, some of the lines stopped. Officials are saying they werent built for these temperatures, average temperatures injune or20 24d, temperatures, average temperatures in june or 20 24d, worse temperatures, average temperatures injune or 20 24d, worse to come in the south. 0ne hospital in the west they had an emergency appeal for staff nurses, saying there are so many people coming in with heat exhaustion they simply cant cope and theyve opened up a huge centre for migrants who are struggling with the heat as well. Across europe, spain, catalonia, wildfires continuing, around 25 square miles, firefighters, hundreds of them continuing to try and put that out. Gavin, thank you. England are into the semi finals of the womens world cup after a 3 0 win over norway last night. Mikes here. It puts them in a wonderful place. It puts them in a wonderful place. It makes the front page and the back page of the newspapers, pictures on most of the papers on the front, the lioness is roaring to victory, such a dominant performance of way england played. The four goals from jill scott to settle nerves and then ellen white, thejoint jill scott to settle nerves and then ellen white, the joint top scorer in the competition stop and then the third goal, a thunderbolt from lucy bronze which we can remind ourselves of now. Theyve had their warning, heres lucy bronze once they tried it, twice they tried it, now they have played across. This is a scorcher. David beckham loved every second of it. He certainly did, something he would have been proud of. You can see phil neville was absolutely jubilant, he is of. You can see phil neville was absolutelyjubilant, he is saying to himself he wants to bring the world cup home but then he says, stop it, cannot get carried away but the best performance theyve had since hes beenin performance theyve had since hes been in charge. Norway are ranked 12th in the world, former champions but england will face a tougher task against france at the usa in the semifinals on tuesday. But theyve done something no senior england tea m done something no Senior England Team has done before, reaching three successive major tournament semifinals but they want to reach their first final. They wont fear anyone, they have the momentum and confidence because some of the reaction back home. You remember we we re reaction back home. You remember we were talking about georgia stanway, the players who had asked glastonbury via twitter to put the match on and glastonbury obliged, next to this stage and you could hear thousands of fans singing a rather familiar hear thousands of fans singing a ratherfamiliar song. Its coming home, its coming home. Football is coming home. There is plenty of social media reaction. The spice girls are saying stand up if you are proud of the lionesses. Jonathan pearce, doing so many of the games, one of the commentators, its only when its not so good do you notice them, when they do it well its bracing, that goal. We played the commentary as well, it was worth reliving. It really captures the spirit, the reaction. They dont fear anyone. Nor should they. Mike, we will see you later, more chat about looking ahead to the game on tuesday. Its nine minutes past eight. Theresa may will demand justice for the victims of the salisbury nerve agent attack when she meets Vladimir Putin at the g20 summit injapan in the next few hours. In an interview with the Financial Times this morning, the russian president has downplayed the poisoning and said he believed the uk was interested in fully restoring relations with the kremlin. Mrs may has been speaking to our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. Well, lets be clear. The use of a nerve agent, a chemical weapon, on the streets of salisbury was a despicable and irresponsible act. We saw an innocent british citizen die as a result of the use of this nerve agent. Weve been clear. Weve set out the evidence. Charges have been laid against two russian individuals. I want to see those individuals brought tojustice. Russia does not allow the extradition of its nationals, but european arrest warrants are out for those two individuals, and if they set foot outside russia, we will be making every effort to ensure that they are brought tojustice. Russia needs to recognise its acts and stop acting in this way, and stop its other destabilising activities around the world, including, for example, the use of disinformation and cyber attacks. What can you say to president putin that might make a difference . I will be very clear with president putin about what i think about russian acts around the world, and the impact those acts are having. Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes joins us now from japan. Interesting, rupert, isnt it, we hear from the two parties, theresa may talking about boldly about what she plans to say and Vladimir Putin in that interview in the Financial Times talking about where he sits on this, to be a fly on the wall for that chat yes, we expect that meeting to take place in about an hour 5 meeting to take place in about an hours time, meeting to take place in about an hour 5 time, theres a couple of things from theresa may 5 interview thatis things from theresa may 5 interview that is keen, she is talking very tough but of course, from president putin s tough but of course, from president putin 5 point of view, he knows theresa may will only be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for the next three weeks and then she will be replaced so he can afford to bide his time and see what her successor has to say about this case. The other thing which theresa may said in the interview, russia does not extradite its citizens to other countries and so those suspects, however tough theresa may may be sounding, though suspects are safe in russia and from my experience of working in russia, i dont think theres much chance at all that the russian government is going to hand them over and i will give you one other name to remember. Alexander the opinion go, poisoned in london with polonium back in 2007, the British Government take a tough line, more than ten years later, no justice for him. Tough line, more than ten years later, nojustice for him. I think the chances that we are going to get these people, get them back, the justice that theresa may says she seeks is very small indeed. Rupert, for the moment, thank you. Stormzy will become the first british rapper to headline glastonbury later today. Sheryl crow and george ezra are among the other acts due to perform at worthy farm, in front of 175,000 people. The weathers looking good, with temperatures in somerset expected to reach the high 205. Lizo mzimba is there for us. We see those blue skies, i see joggers behind you. Gradually coming to life yes, there are one or two people emerging on the side this morning, this will surprise you, its still a little bit early for most general Glastonbury Festival goers, people are beginning to emerge from their tent, a bit of activity picking up and it will be incredibly busy here later. Of course, people come here hoping for two things, great music and great weather and this looks like the time when they will have both. A very, very hot few days here, lots of advice going on for people on site, water available right the way across where the form and advice about sun block, trying to make sure people have a good time. The music, the main thing that happens here, one of the things that characterises the event, the huge range available behind me. The pyramid stage. It will be opened up by the abba tribute act urine again and we will see acts ranging from lauryn hill, to bastille, storm c, george ezra, the first black british rapper to headline the stage. We have the killers, cure and the legend that is kylie minogue. She was of course supposed to headline here back in 2005, she had to withdraw than diagnosed with Breast Cancer but shes finally playing a full set here on sunday afternoon. People are looking forward to the music, the heat, it will not be the hottest glastonbury on record, that was in 2017 but to be honest, people are just grateful when it isnt windy and wet and rainy and covered in mud. It should be an excellent weekend it should. Thank you. We spoke to kylie, didnt we, about her performance at glastonbury, she is excited and nervous. We spoke to a first timer Freya Ridings earlier, she is excited. And travis are down there, not playing this year. But they played there 20 years ago. The time now is 14 minutes past eight. This week on breakfast, weve been hearing from the parents of children with special Educational Needs, who have been arguing at the high court that the government is letting them down. Better funding is what the families want, but is legal action the answer . Well speak to two of those parents in a moment, but first Jayne Mccubbin went along to see how it went. Dakota any nico are two children, whose cases have been taken to the high court on behalf of all children with special Educational Needs. And this was the moment their mums were cheered into Court Two Days ago, an action made possible by crowdfunding from families who say they had had to fight for the right support for their kids. My daughter is a vulnerable child and i fear for their future. I have never done anything like this before but i feel it is time to speak up. It is getting worse year by year and our children are suffering. At the minute, we are campaigners, warriors and paediatric nurses. We get very little sleep. When are you going to purely let us be parents . When are you actually going to invest . In court, that lack of investment was described by family barristers as a genuine crisis, which could blight childrens lives forever. They said the chancellors budget was illegal when it came to send provision. The governments own barristers accepted demand for services had outstripped funding. But added the government had made it clear high needs would be a priority ahead of the 2019 spending review. Now their wait begins with a Judgment Reserved for a later date. Joining us now is mary, whose daughter dakota was involved in the case, and dan, whos daughter emily has spina bifida and autism. Good to see you. Im interested, your thoughts, such an important day for you personally, in what you are trying to achieve. I think you spent two days in court. I imagine this is an emotional roller coaster, there are legal technicalities and then the personal stories. Its been a very up and down couple of days, hugely emotional and massive for the community. Can you tell us about da kota . Community. Can you tell us about dakota . She is ten, amazing, shes my superhero. She has cerebral palsy, epilepsy and multiple other disabilities but that doesnt stop herfrom disabilities but that doesnt stop her from living life. Thats so good to hear and you are fighting for her, thats what youre doing, for a better life, essentially. What is it you are trying to get . Her rights met. She needs support in education. And its her right to access that education. And its chronically underfunded. And the service is failing. What difference would that make to her life in terms of education, or development. Enormous difference. It would give her the opportunity to become an independent aduu opportunity to become an independent adult and the future would look a lot different. Darn, its interesting, and trying to look for the code you said you were appealing to damien heinz. When are you going to damien heinz. When are you going to let us parents, at the minute we are campaigners, warriors, activists, paediatric nurses. Tell us activists, paediatric nurses. Tell us how this would change your life and emily 5 life. Us how this would change your life and emily s life. It would change the community that has predominantly one and the community that has predominantly one and i have disabled children countrywide. In the number is increasing year on year and thats purely the number is officially on record. From our point of view, just to be able to give support from the early days upwards, not only emotionally and physically but from an educational perspective we change our lives completely, we would purely be allowed to parent rather than where these continual clocks that we have to do. We are not paid for what we do, we just do it because we love our children and we wa nt because we love our children and we want them to have a place in society thatis want them to have a place in society that is absolutely theirs, which is absolutely right. It needs to happen. If this court ruling goes your way, how would that manifest in practical terms . It would your way, how would that manifest in practicalterms . It would be your way, how would that manifest in practical terms . It would be an amazing thing, it would send out a statement that all of our children regardless of ability or communication are important, important contributors to society who deserve absolutely to have education to, to progress to whatever ability they will progress to in orderto whatever ability they will progress to in order to contribute to society. It would send out a statement that disabled children are important, families like ourselves who do an amazing job, we are the ones who are just being given a break to live our lives. We want to be able to parent and love and nurture our children. How exhausting has this been . Very exhausting but as mary would no doubt agree on many people watching this, you get on with it because you love your children, you absolutely love your children, you absolutely love your children but unfortunately, society is not geared for our children, even in this decade, even in the zist century and from a human rights perspective and from a moral perspective, thats absolutely apparent and needs to change, especially in a country like ours thatis especially in a country like ours that is the sixth richest in the world. Away from the emotions of this of which are clearly so raw for you and what you have to do on a daily basis, routinely because you love your children and all those things, we are in a curious time because the evidence is in court, youve achieved that, that moment in time has happened and now kuwait. Thats difficult, isnt it. We have lives to get back to, appointments, school fetes, we have to live our life, it will always be in the background until it comes back and the verdict is given. But we have to get on with our life, we have no choice. What will you do if it doesnt go your way . Still find, weve got no choice. 0ur doesnt go your way . Still find, weve got no choice. Our children are ultimately everything and they deserve ultimately everything. So we will still fight. We will pick ourselves up and go again because with every spare bit of energy we have, thats what we have to do. Thank you both so much. We will watch and wait as you will too see where this goes next but thank you for your time. I can imagine the audience is all on your side. The department of education gave us a statement and said, the governments ambition for children with special Educational Needs and disabilities is no different to any other child we want them to enjoy school and achieve to their full potential. This is why we are investing significant funding into supporting those with more complex special Educational Needs the time is 821m matt is at a wonderful location in worcestershire and this shot, im not quite sure format is. Hes lost in the delphiniums, its the day of the trivets. Matt, tell us more. Good morning. That field in front of you, if you attend a wedding later this summer theres a chance if is any confetti thrown, natural, biodegradable confetti, it could have come from here. This is one of the confetti forms across the uk, the confetti forms across the uk, the original in fact, fields of delphi names, beautiful colours, the son trying to break through, these will be formed over the next week, dried and sold as confetti throughout the summer. The scene is beautiful, blue skies overhead, the variety of colours is absolutely outstanding and with a growing trend towards more environmentally friendly responsibility, the biodegradable nature of these natural petals is proving to be a huge hit and getting more and more popular by the year. As you can see, looking splendid even in grey skies but there will be more sunshine as we go through today. Lets look at the forecast for whats happening across the uk. Lots more sunshine developing again, even if we start quite grey. Increasingly hot, especially to the west of the uk. Tomorrow the eastern half of the uk will see heat and humidity and for all on sunday a good deal more co mforta ble all on sunday a good deal more comfortable if its the heat you dont like. Very hot across much of central and western europe, you can see the deep reds and the temperature chart and the reason we see the temperature rise as we start to bring in a bit more of that towards us as the winds switches to the south. Western areas, the sunshine already out, temperatures rising, in the east cloud breaking up. On north sea coasts it will stay cloudy and grey through the day. Cougar town the eastern coast with temperatures around the mid teens. The north sea are still rather chilly at this time of year, the wind coming off and you will feel the effect but the sun strong. Temperature is widely 25 29d, it could hit 30 in the highlands this afternoon and if thats too hot, lets put it into perspective, 45 degrees possible in Southern France and if you get above 44 that will be and if you get above 44 that will be an temperature record for france. Weve already seen during records break across many parts of central and western europe so this week. Back to our shores, three to night low cloud returns to some eastern coasts, especially in north east england and eastern scotland, mostly dry and clear, humid night, temperatures not dropping below 1820d in temperatures not dropping below 18 20d in the south. Into saturday, we see temperatures climb across eastern parts of the uk reaching 34 degrees, in the west turning a little bit more comfortable but some heavy showers and thunderstorms, a bit more clout around and as we go into sunday, all of us will see temperatures back to levels they should be for the time of year, 2125d, should be for the time of year, 21 25d, showers in the north and west, heavy inventory in scotland, in the south and east it stays dry, many southern areas are staying dry into next week which is good news for those heading to wimbledon. Back to you. Thank you. The time is 8 25am. You know that some youtube clips are absolute nonsense, a cat doing something and then sometimes something and then sometimes something really important gets a lot of viewings, something that matters and speaks to people and we will talk about that. This time three weeks ago, i was in france for brea kfasts coverage of the d Day Anniversary commemorations.
