Boris johnson of campaigning to leave the eu in order to further his own political career. Ex International Rugby player Gareth Thomas reveals he is hiv positive, saying he wants to help reduce the stigma around the condition. I want to empower so many other people who are in exactly the same position as me. And probably ten times worse. To be able to feel free as well. Tyson fury survives a brutal cut to remain undefeated, the british heavyweight beating otto wallin on points in las vegas. A look ahead to what today has in store, but also further into the week ahead, when we will have some chilly autumnal mornings. There should be some decent sunny afternoons with some warmth around as well. Its sunday 15th september. Our top story the former conservative minister sam gyimah has defected to the liberal democrats. Hes one of six mps who have joined the party in recent weeks. Mr gyimah was among 21 conservatives who had the party whip removed after rebelling against the Prime Minister, to try to prevent a no deal brexit. Our Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake reports from the lib dem conference in bournemouth. I would like you to meet the newest liberal democrat mp, sam gyimah. A former government minister who says the conservatives left him feeling like an outcast. I walked out of a ministerialjob, risk losing the whip, i have one of the safest conservative seats in the country. But i know something that trips off the tongue of everyone who goes into politics, i want to make a difference, i want to serve my country. Sam gyimah accused borisjohnson to having a scorched earth approach to brexit. He was one of the few tories to support a second referendum, so not a huge surprise that he has jumped ship to the party that want one too. The lib dem leader wants to harden the partys stop brexit stance. If there is a general election, she promised to revoke article 50 and reverse the decision to leave the eu even without a public vote. The liberal democrats a re Crystal Clear. We want to stop brexit, so if we find ourselves in a general election, that will be our unequivocal message. Therefore, if a liberal democrat majority government is elected, we should revoke article 50. 18 mps and counting, record membership. The weather is not the only reason the lib dems have to be careful at the conference this weekend. The party is at odds with the referendum result to leave the eu, but it is hoping to turn out to its advantage in a looming election campaign. And it feels very much here like the lib dems are up for the fight. David cameron has launched another stinging attack on borisjohnson accusing him of only backing brexit to further his career, in the latest extracts from his memoirs. The former Prime Minister also criticises his once close friend michael gove, who he brands as disloyal. Lets get more on this now from our Political Correspondent peter saull. How damaging are all these comments . Thesejudgements from how damaging are all these comments . These judgements from the former pm . Of course David Cameron hasnt said a great deal over the past three yea rs, a great deal over the past three years, and people have speculated about Boris Johnsons years, and people have speculated about borisjohnsons motivations for some time, but the fact it is the former pm who is coming out and saying it makes it potentially damaging for Boris Johnson, saying it makes it potentially damaging for borisjohnson, although i think David Camerons reputation is certainly not what it was a few yea rs is certainly not what it was a few years ago. The extract in question refers to the run up to the referendum in 2016, and David Camerons attempts to win over his fellow senior conservatives to come out and back remain. Ultimately he failed when it comes to Boris Johnson, but he had a game of tennis with him and offered him thejob of defence secretary, and he says Boris Johnson was really agonising over the choice. He suggested if leave one the referendum they could be renegotiation and a second brexit referendum, something that now Boris Johnson is completely opposed to. David cameron really comes to the conclusion that borisjohnson thought in order to become the darling of the conservative party, it would help his career more if he backed brexit, even if he wasnt sure about the merits of leaving the eu. And while he is disappointed with borisjohnson, eu. And while he is disappointed with Boris Johnson, he eu. And while he is disappointed with borisjohnson, he is angry with michael gove, strongly criticising his former Close Friends approach, in terms of making what he sees as misleading claims on immigration during the referendum. Borisjohnson and downing street are yet to respond, but he sent an gave an interview this morning comparing himself to the incredible hulk, the matter he gets, the stronger he gets. The former wales rugby captain Gareth Thomas has revealed he is living with hiv. He says he wants to break the stigma surrounding the condition and has talked about the shame and fear of keeping it secret. Daniel davies reports. Ive got hiv, and its ok like, that is what i want to say more than anything. It is a secret he has tried to keep to himself and those closest to him. But now Gareth Thomas is telling the world and embarking a new challenge. He has trained for an ultra endurance ironman triathlon to show he isnt limited by his condition. A bbc documentary shows him could preparing for the event a bbc documentary shows him preparing for the event and preparing to reveal that for some time he has lived with hiv. He talks of the shame he says he felt, and of the worry of what people would think of him if they knew. One of my fears is that that will kind of go and who i was prior to people knowing i have hiv might be forgotten and that and that will potentially deter people from wanting to be associated or be around me. Thomas, a5, says he wants to help overcome the stigma surrounding hiv. He has compared the experience of making this announcement coming out as gay, which he did ten years ago. I want to empower so many other people who are in exactly the same position as me, and probably ten times worse, to be able to feel free as well. That was Daniel Davies reporting. And if you want to watch the full documentary, Gareth Thomas hiv and me will be shown on bbc one wales on wednesday at 9pm. You can also watch it on iplayer. The us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has blamed iran for the drone strikes that set fire to two major oilfacilities in saudi arabia. Houthi rebels in yemen said they carried out the attacks, but mr pompeo said there was no evidence they came from there. The Saudi Energy Minister said half of the countrys Oil Production had been temporarily stopped. Pro deocracy protesters are rallying outside the british consulate in hong kong as part of ongoing demonstrations against the government. Campaigners say beijing isnt maintaining the freedoms in hong kong which were promised when it returned to chinese rule from britain over two decades ago. There have been more than three months of protests in the territory. The spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has visited some of the areas badly hit by torrential rain and floods. Six people have died and 3,500 had to leave their homes after some of the heaviest daily rainfall on record. Flash floods swept away cars and swamped homes and fields in the regions of valencia, murcia and eastern andalusia. A charity rescue ship has arrived at the italian island of lampedusa, after the country agreed to let it drop off 82 migrants picked up at sea. Its the first time the Italian Government has allowed a migrant rescue vessel to dock for several months. Most of those on board will be taken to other European Countries with 2a of the migrants expected to remain in italy. A new storm has brought heavy rain to the bahamas almost two weeks after Hurricane Dorian claimed at least 50 lives and devastated the islands. Tropical storm humberto is slowly moving north and is expected to become a hurricane either tonight or tomorrow morning. Emergency services say 1,300 people remain missing across the bahamas. The ex Welsh Rugby International Gareth Thomas says he wants to end the stigma surrounding hiv after revealing he is living with the virus. Lets talk about this with alex sparrowhawk, who was diagnosed with hiv a decade ago and works for the Terence Higgins trust. Hejoins us now. Thanks for coming in, alex. How significant what have you made of this announcement . I think this is a really significant announcement from gareth, and i think the Hiv Community want to thank him for being open about his status and talking about hiv. Its something that has really fallen off the agenda. People dont think about it anymore. So to have someone with a high profile like him and an athlete is amazing, and we really hope hes going to be able to share what it means to live with hiv in 2019. That you can live well, live healthily, and thanks to the treatment you cant actually pass the virus on. He has just cant actually pass the virus on. He hasjust done cant actually pass the virus on. He has just done an ironman, hasnt he, too prove the point that you can live a healthy lifestyle. Exactly. People with hiv can have a day to day life just like anyone else can, work full time, have a family, there is nothing that the virus can stop you doing. What is still the big issue within society is the stigma associated with the virus, and that is largely down to misinformation about how you can get hiv. People still think. He had this fear that people might think they could get itjust from if you walk into a coffee shop and people saw him. Its ridiculous that we still have. Surely those myths are not still there . We know they are. The Terrence Higgins trusted some research with yougov, and we found 30 of people wouldnt want to go on a date with someone with hiv or kiss someone a date with someone with hiv or kiss someone with hiv. Its ridiculous. We need to continue to educate the public. Guarantees married, his husband stephen will obviously be com pletely husband stephen will obviously be completely fine, and protected from the condition. It is important to stress, isnt it, that you can have a perfectly normal relationship with someone, even when you are a perfectly normal relationship with someone, even when you are living with hiv. Exactly. Most people take treatment once a day every day, and what that treatment does is reduce the virus to what is known as an undetectable level. It is a level where you cant actually transmitted to your sexual partners. Women who are pregnant cant transmit the virus to their unborn children. Its amazing we are at this stage, but not everyone knows that this is where we are up there with regards to medication. Other any physical side effects to the medication . Do you feel any kind of physical impact of living with hiv . Different people will react to the medication in different ways. I think the early medication had a lot of side effects and people sometimes still associate that. Most people now wont experience any side effects or they may notice something when they start a treatment or start a new treatment as their body adjusts to the medication, but on the whole the majority of people wont notice hiv. Someone like myself, im just going to the hospital every six months for checkups. That and taking the treatment every day is really the only impact hiv is having on my life. Like many people, i am of an age where i remember the Public Health campaign in the 80s, and that is probably the thing that many people will remember, but for younger generations who havent seen that, why are people still not getting it . Is it because we hear about it in other countries, in africa, places like that . about it in other countries, in africa, places like that . I dont think there is enough education in schools. 0ne think there is enough education in schools. One thing that the Terrence Higgins trust is proud of his at this Time Next Year we will be introducing the subject into schools, and we hope that will mean a whole new generation of people will learn properly about Sexual Health and the facts about hiv, and thatis health and the facts about hiv, and that is away we will educate people. Gareth thomas says that when he found out he felt he had been hit by an express train. How did you feel when you found out . Exactly the same, that is a really good metaphor, it really hit me when i heard it. Also, once i got my head around the fact that i was going to be ok, thats when i felt i was able to talk to my friends and family about its not what dont feel it is about its not what dont feel it is a life sentence . No, i mean obviously it is something i will have for the rest of my life, but it is not a burden, it is something that if anything it is empowered me to live well, to try to live healthily, and also to help combat the stigma, and the fact that gareth is doing that with his profile is fantastic. That it isnt it, someone with that fame. He is a remarkable individual, thank you for coming and talking to us. If you want to watch the full documentary, Gareth Thomas hiv and me will be shown on bbc one wales on wednesday at 9pm. You can also watch it on iplayer. Heres susan with a look at this mornings weather. Think it is pretty nice, for some, anyway. Good morning. There is actually not a lot going on. That in itself could be pleasant for the week ahead. High pressure is building. We will have light winds, dry weather, autumn sunshine. 0ne thing to watch out for, some chilly start s. We have not been to use to those just yet. This start s. We have not been to use to thosejust yet. This is start s. We have not been to use to those just yet. This is the area of High Pressure that is building.

The chilly hour will trickle south behind the front as we go into the small areas of monday. Chilly air. A mild note to the south. To the north, turning chillier, clear skies and light winds in parts of rural scotland, two three is the overnight lows. Early into next week the high bills. We start to get rid of the weather front. The cold apples south behind. We are left with cloud to the south on monday. Things turning, chillier the colder air comes in behind it to the south. Not such a chilly start on monday.

As the week pans out we continue with the fine weather and more in the website stop lovely, thank you very much, susan. Record breaking rain over the past two days in spain has killed at least six people and left the countrys transport network severely disrupted. Highway tunnels were submerged and cars swept from motorways, as torrents of water led to the closure of roads, railways and airports. Josh parfitt is a journalist there and joins us from alicante one of the worst affected areas. Just, good morning to you. Thanks for talking to us this morning. Just explain what the situation is like this morning. Good morning. The rains have receded in the north of alicante. My aim in the interior of alicante. My aim in the interior of alica nte. Bounce out alicante. My aim in the interior of alicante. Bounce out the rains have moved into the centre of spain stop but from wednesday night, when he storm front hit, it has been torrential rain. Where i am here the houses have been completely trust. There is a police car stopping looters going into the ruined buildings. Between wednesday and thursday 400 litres per metre squared hit the area. It has decimated the area. Like you were saying, cars have been swept off roads, houses destroyed, train links ruined. It has been the worst storm. We were seeing pictures while you we re we were seeing pictures while you were talking of a day which got so full they had to release extra water from in there, which made the problem worse, a guess. Well, absolutely. It reached 100 capacity so absolutely. It reached 100 capacity so they had to release the water. But what happened is that is a big river that runs through the city and further down in the nearby area in the south of alicante. The river burst its banks and at least four towns, heavily populated as well by many british residents down there. Sometimes in the middle of the night, im speaking to at least two families who had got, well, one family in particular with two Young Children, at 5am, because the river, with extra water from the rains and also from the dam, with extra water from the rains and also from the darn, it hit their house four feet deep. They had to run for their lives. Luckily they we re run for their lives. Luckily they were able to get out. That was the spencerfamily, wasnt were able to get out. That was the Spencer Family, wasnt it, were able to get out. That was the spencerfamily, wasnt it, who had a terrible time with their house. That was the steel family, but they spoke to the Spencer Family as well. Where they were was hit by 400 litres per metre squared. From 9am electricity was cut, what was cut, and they basically walked outside and sent a video to friends and family, basically the floodwater, it had filled the car and was lapping up the steps. The windows were smashed by the force of the water on the ground floor. They had to basically retreat to the top floor of the house. I believe it wasjust panicked to wait until finally the army were able to rescue them. They also had two young toddlers. The pictures are astonishing. The kind of thing we see from all around the world. Spain is obviously a very developed, european country, do they need support . Presumably they have the infrastructure to try and rebuild from this. Well, the issue is that in spain, obviously, we know the phrase the rain in spain, but when rain hits, especially in east and autumn, they get deluges, it is quite a common occurrence. This one was a freak event. Easter. In spain, a lot of these areas are agricultural areas. They have canals. There are often full of rubbish. And because the rivers are generally dry rivers, when it floods, the ground cannot absorb it, the soil is clay. If there is 40 centimetres of water being channelled into a river the river will burst its banks. The infrastructure needs to be improved, especially in a loss of towns near to where i live in the north of alicante to where i live in the north of alica nte to where i live in the north of alicante a loss of towns. When the what its an wen yi the water hits it overwhelms the drains. Josh, thank you for talking to us. We are grateful. Josh parfittjoining thank you for talking to us. We are grateful. Josh parfitt joining us from spain to talk about the terrible floods. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Time now for a look at the newspapers. Lets look at the front pages. Camerons fury at the liars of leave is the headline on the front of the sunday times, which publishes an extract from the former Prime Ministers memoirs. Mr cameron labels michael gove a foam flecked fa ragist and accuses borisjohnson of backing the leave campaign only to help his career. The sunday telegraph features a story about the Prime Ministers plans to unveil a tough new approach to criminaljustice, which means killers of Young Children will never be released from prison. The paper reports that Boris Johnsons administration is also considering increasing minimum tariffs for other types of killings. The observer describes former tory minister sam gyimahs defection to the liberal democrats as a fresh blow to the Prime Minister. In an interview with the newspaper, mr gyimah says centrist mps have been cast out of the conservative party and labour. The sunday express says on its front page britain has lost faith in mps after a survey suggests almost eight in 10 people believe parliament is in desperate need of reform. This historian and author tessa dunlop is here to tell us whats this here to tell us whats caught her eye. Thatis that is your first story. Is it any wonder . With the blood and guts politics that is revealed in other papers, namely the sunday times, where borisjohnson papers, namely the sunday times, where Boris Johnson is papers, namely the sunday times, where borisjohnson is having an unprecedented attack on a current Prime Minister. It is quite unusual for a former Prime Minister to behave this way. David cameron, yeah. Ive spent a long time reading the extracts yesterday and more this morning. Amidst all the brexit fury, it is easy to lose sight of the human. And i think, obviously, he is trying to market his book. But what they have done quite well is balance they have done quite well is balance the brexit mess, the psychodrama, with this man, you know, with a family, with a son he lost, when he was in office, i think, and this kind of, the sense that he portrays very effectively, actually, of betrayal. And this betrayal, his losing two of his key generals. Was that ivan . Thats road. His son ivan. That is featured in the magazine and in the paper they look at the politics thats right. He clearly felt profoundly let down on a human level by michael gove and by boris. The other thing came away with, he was a eurosceptic. It was really a n with, he was a eurosceptic. It was really an odd decision on his part to declare a war, to fight for something that he didnt fully believe in. And then to be surprised when his generals defected. Ultimately it has left me feeling really sad reading these extracts. Needless to say, the Prime Minister doesnt seem to be deterred in any way. I thought why are these pictures so bad . They are particularly unflattering, the 0bserver, page six. Particularly unflattering, the observer, page six. Sell fees. He is a lwa ys observer, page six. Sell fees. He is always on facebook sell fees. The physics of politics changed. The story in this express, people have lost faith. 74 believe it is not fit for the 21st century. Lost faith. 74 believe it is not fit for the 21stcentury. Funny you should pick up on those. I thought the most significant. Should pick up on those. I thought the most significant. Ij should pick up on those. I thought the most significant. Ijust read the most significant. Ijust read the ones at the top. Three quarters believe that internationally it does not show britain in a good light. But none of this does. Im surprised we dont mention that more often, how people are perceiving us from the outside. It isnt pretty. If you can the outside. It isnt pretty. If you ca n afford the outside. It isnt pretty. If you can afford to go abroad with the pound so low. Who is this coming inside the mail on sunday . Lo and behold. That is one of my very dear friends in the blue and cream top. Pamela rose. She will be 102 in november. She was the inspiration for research and a book i wrote about why certain women live a very long time in their life stories. They put the baby in their as an indication, that is a century between the. That is my baby. Pamelas generation, she was born in 1917, they expected to live into their 60s. My daughter potentially could live until she is 100. A talked to professor gordon, the reverse of the care of all people, and he was really fascinating. There we re and he was really fascinating. There were commonalities. They can get away from it when ive spent a lot of time with women over 100. I thought maybe it is just a kulwin sit ins. The sample is small. Coincidence. They seem to be very engaged. Pamela, despite finding it difficult to walk, walked a half mile to her local polling stations to vote green for the first time. They all push themselves. This professor said that everyone says to me you must work with very, very old people. He said im mainly work with people. He said im mainly work with people in their 70s and 80s, because those who get to that late 90s, 100, they dont present with one pathology. They have avoided the big killers. They have an incredible engagement, social, mental, and physically they have almost got away with it. He thinks there is a connection, you know, between how we mentally approach life and how we physically decay. When you come back in an hourwe physically decay. When you come back in an hour we will talk about the golden lavatories stolen from blenheim alice. They have yoopan have been desperate to use. Golden lavatories stolen, police have nothing to go on. Thank you so much, tessa. The Andrew Marr Programme will be on bbc one at 9 oclock this morning. Who do you have joining you today . A really interesting line up this morning. I have priti patel, the new home secretary in her first broadcast interview. A lot of talk about with her. Ive got sadiq khan, the london mayor. Lots to talk about with him, including light knife crime. And jo swinson, leader of the liberal democrats on her big conference the weekend. The woman who thinks she can be our next Prime Minister. A bigger part. Into play is out only have the wonderful emily sunday. Thank you very much. That is at nine oclock. Stay with us for the moment. We have the headlines hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and Rachel Burden. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. The former conservative minister sam gyimah hasjoined the liberal democrats. Hes one of six mps who have defected to the party in recent weeks. Mr gyimah was among the 21 tories who had the conservative whip removed after rebelling against borisjohnson in a bid to prevent a no deal brexit earlier this month. The values that attracted me to the conservative party of which they have been a memberfor over two decades are no longer the values of the party. Mainly those liberal values that made me excited when a supported same sex marriage during the coalition, focusing on the lower paid, and increasing childcare, im not really those values anymore. I said opportunity to champion those values with the liberal democrats. David cameron has accused the Prime Minister of only backing brexit to further his career, in the latest released extracts from his memoirs. The former Prime Minister also criticises michael gove, who he describes as disloyal. Mr cameron says that during the referendum campaign, both mrjohnson and mr gove behaved appallingly. Welsh rugby legend Gareth Thomas has revealed he is living with hiv. He says he wants to break the stigma surrounding the condition and has talked about the shame and fear of keeping it a secret. Mr thomas has been speaking for the first time about his diagnosis for a bbc documentary called Gareth Thomas hiv and me. The us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has blamed iran for the drone strikes that set fire to two major Oil Facilities in saudi arabia. Houthi rebels in yemen said they carried out the attacks, but mr pompeo said there was no evidence they came from there. The Saudi Energy Minister said half of the countrys Oil Production had been temporarily stopped. A new storm has brought heavy rain to the bahamas. Almost two weeks after Hurricane Dorian claimed at least 50 lives and devastated the islands. Tropical storm humberto is slowly moving north and is expected to become a hurricane either tonight or tomorrow morning. Emergency services say 1,300 people remain missing across the bahamas. Police are continuing to investigate the theft of a solid gold toilet with an estimated value of more than a Million Pounds which was stolen from Blenheim Palace yesterday. Police say the burglary caused significant damage and flooding to the stately home. The whereabouts of the working toilet which visitors had been invited to use is unknown. A 66 year old man has been arrested and remains in police custody. Too soon to repeat the best bun in the papers. Police have nothing to go on, apparently. Still to come on the programme this morning well be taking a look at some of the stunning images from this years British Wildlife photography awards as we meet two of the competitions winners. And as spider season begins well be joined in the studio by an arachnologist and some of her eight legged friends to find out whether house spiders in the uk are getting bigger. All that to come on the bbc news channel. But this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc1. I should say, those teeny little spiders is another kind of spiders we talking about. Those ones that basically come and hide, waiting for you so they can eat your brains. And when you get up in the middle of the night and go to work every day, and going to the kitchen and turn the light on, there they are looking at you they will be here in the studio later, so pleased about that. Thanks for staying with us on the bbc news channel. We have an hour and a half to go. Now we are going to have a look at sport. Tyson fury, bloodied, battled. He overcame some adversity that he probably wasnt planning for. He will be having a rematch with Deontay Wilder later, and he will wa nt to Deontay Wilder later, and he will want to be toughened up. This picture is one of someone who certainly has been toughened up, but i think against his own wishes. He has had a busy schedule this last month. Yes, he had some time out of the sport to overcome some Mental Health issues. He has got back into the sport almost in an attempt to make this run towards reclaiming the title, and he claims he is the linear world titleholder because he hasnt yet been beaten. He has a busy schedule because he has to work ha rd to busy schedule because he has to work hard to get back to a potential world title fight. Tyson fury was cut but not conquered in his brutalfight in las vegas. He beat swedish heavyweight 0tto wallin on a unanimous points decision but suffered a deep cut over his eye in the third round, which threatened to end his unbeaten record. Lets speak now to bbc radio 5 lives boxing pundit, steve bunce, who was ringside. First of all steve, perhaps you could explain to us because we dont wa nt to could explain to us because we dont want to show too many graphic images, about how significant the damage was above tyson furys i. Images, about how significant the damage was above tyson furys ii interviewed him in the ring and got myself about six inches away. There are two gashes, two unbelievable gashes. 0ne are two gashes, two unbelievable gashes. One of them about three inches long and one about an inch and a half long. He has gone off to have the eyes cleaned and closed. There will be stitchers, internal stitches, and there may even be some plastic surgery. They were two have the worst cuts i have ever seen in a fight where a guy has gone nine rounds with these wounds. Nine rounds with these wounds. Nine rounds with these gaping gashes, quite extraordinary. Given how tyson fury told you and others afterwards that he basically couldnt see out of his right eye for that length of time, how impressive that he still managed to win. It was impressive. There was calm, ijust finished speaking to his cuts man who did an admirablejobjust speaking to his cuts man who did an admirable job just stemming the flow. There was no attempt to close the cuts, which often happens in fights, there was no chance of that. They were too open, too deep. Tyson fury never panicked once. He did dab relentlessly and repeatedly at the eye, but he didnt panic, and that is just as well. The young swede we have loads of cliches in boxing, we have loads of cliches in boxing, we have loads of cliches in boxing, we have entire businesses just the cliches, but he came to fight. He had to dig deep, go back to the corner and try to become as the cuts we re corner and try to become as the cuts were healed momentarily for the next round. There was no panic but it was really tough throughout. Steve, i know there is a planned second fight with Deontay Wilder early next year. Will the scouts watching this for Deontay Wilder take any notice of this . What i love about boxing is that two people can watch the same fight sitting on each others lap and they will see a totally different fight, different outcome, and have different opinions about what went on. The fact was if he fights while the like that, he will get knocked out, that is what some have said, he has gone backwards, other people were saying. 0ther people have said that is exactly what he needed. Not what he wanted, but what he needed. It was divided ringside. There is one potential medical problem, and that is if these cuts take four or five or six weeks to heal, and he requires some other surgery to make the skin a bit smoother so it is less prone to opening up again in another fight, that suddenly takes us very close to when i think he was due to start his Training Campfor when i think he was due to start his Training Camp for the proposed fight back here in las vegas against Deontay Wilder on february 22. At the moment there is a tiny asterix attached to the fight, and there is attached to the fight, and there is a chance it could be shifted slightly, because those cuts he had, they are not the types of things you can heal with a couple of plasters and tissues can heal with a couple of plasters and tissues thank you very much for your time. Five points is the biggest advantage any side has had after the first five games of a premier league season. Thats what liverpool now have over reigning champions Manchester City and given how tight the title race was last season, could citys defeat at norwich prove pivotal . Nick parrott rounds up the action at the top of the table. Last year the premier league was 16 games old before Manchester City lost, and that was a to chelsea. So why have they faulted so soon against promoted norwich, who were expected to struggle . In the boxes they were better. We were not so productive in front. Norwich were clinical. They only had three efforts on target, but all of them went in. Norwich city have believed the second from Todd Cantwell came from a fast and flowing counter attack that city would have been proud of. When norwich lost concentration at the back, Sergio Aguero took advantage, that was nothing compared to the misunderstanding between stones and 0tamendi. They have only been paired at the back six times in the last 20 months. They will have to work out a better rapport. Liverpool went behind early at home to newcastle, but unlike the champions they roared back to win, maintaining their 100 record and remaining at the top. You need them, other teams who started the season well are now faltering. Leicester city dropped out of the top four after Marcus Rashford ended their unbeaten run. So did crystal palace, who conceded four. The Musical Chairs could continue today with arsenal and everton hopeful. Scottish premiership leaders celtic had a slender win at hamilton academical to maintain their 100 start to the league season. James forrest scored the only goal of the game in the first five minutes. Wins too for rangers in second, motherwell, kilmarnock and ross county. Joe denlys last 48 hours have been pretty memorable. Hes welcomed a new baby daughter and then made 94 to put england in a strong position heading into day 4 of the final ashes test. The home side have a lead of 382 over australia asjoe wilson reports from the oval. Attention swarms around the ashes, it can get lost between the hope and the hype. But sometimes it all falls into place. What a week forjoe denly. He batted safe in the knowledge that his new born daughter had been safely delivered, and what is more important than that . Suddenly, this was the newjoe denly, his aggressive approach shocked the australians. Standby for another surprise ben stokes dropped, and by steve smith. Nobody sees the cricket ball better than smith, normally. England were on top and even the weather was helping. A test match in mid september . Yes, do you spot a cloud on the london horizon . Ben stokes to 50 with this shot. Some in the crowd celebrated like children, others in the crowd were actual children. I dont think that isjoe denlys. He was on 94, but out. His best score, but still the disappointment. England would love to have seen him get 100. It is the match that matters. Englands lead stretched into the 300s. Steve smith is still playing, and he doesnt make many mistakes. Saturday evening catching . He will have one last go at batting. Its been frustrating at times the series to get started and not be able to capitalise. It felt pretty good today. A very good bowling attack were coming against each game, would you expect a test level, but i think this Australian Attack is certainly up there, and they make you work hard for every single run. Its all set up for an exciting final day at the solheim cup with europe and the usa tied on eight points all at gleneagles. Europe were still one point ahead going into the afternoon fourballs but georgia hall and Celine Boutier were the only pair to win in the afternoon, the usa coping better with the pressure as three matches went to the final hole. Play begins at 11 oclock europe havent lost the final day singles in any of the past four tournaments. This time next week well be just about to see the first home nations action of the rugby world cup. Scotland and ireland meet next sunday morning in japan, while england could be without both flanker mark wilson and Joe Cokanasiga for their opening match against tonga, which follows shortly after. Both are a big part of eddiejones plans for the tournament, but havent been able to take part in training due to injuries. Meanwhile, wales have concerns over locks adam beard and cory hill. And scotland are likely to be without flankerjamie richie for the ireland game. Alice tais incredible run of gold medals at the world para swimming championships in london was brought to an end by her fellow briton brock whiston. Tai had won six races in a row but she was beaten into fourth place in the 200 metre individual medley, with whiston setting a new world record at her first major event. 11 year old sky brown has won a bronze medal at the park world skateboarding championships in brazil. Its her best finish of the year and comes at an event that counts towards qualification for tokyo 2020. Brown is aiming to become britains youngest summer 0lympian at next years games. I dont know what you were doing at the age of 11 but you certainly were not qualifying for the Olympic Games will not thank you very much. It is time to look at the weather. A lot of us have been enjoying nice sunshine over the past couple of days. How is it looking . There is some more to come. They give with one hand and a takeaway with the other. The week ahead, yes, will bring us plenty more autumn sunshine. But, actually, today, in contrast with yesterday there is more cloud across the uk. We have had a centre of low pressure. It isa have had a centre of low pressure. It is a stormy old night across scotland, particularly for the Northern Isles. We have this weather front straddling the uk at the moment, which is a cold weather front. Chillier are sitting to the north of it. Still pretty warm to the south. I think we will see heavy rain just the south. I think we will see heavy rainjust to sweeping the south. I think we will see heavy rain just to sweeping along the length of the front through the course of the day. Perhaps getting as far north as Central Scotland police stops in wet weather for Northern England and ireland for a time. Reaching mid wales and the midlands in the evening. The wind will become significantly lighter across northern scotland through the afternoon. Look at the weather front cut up the temperatures. Still a lot of warmth to the south. 45 26, further north, 14 15, a more autumnal feel 25 26. The further north, 14 15, a more autumnalfeel 25 26. The rain for wales, the midlands, Northern England. Tending to fizzle out as different size for the south by the end of the night. Pretty mild underneath the cloud. 14 15 the lows. Further north, parts of rural scotland, 3 4d. As we move into the beginning of the new week the pressure is building. That will bring us the fine weather in the autumn sunshine. It is also just tapping us into basically some arctic are coming around the top of the high for monday, tuesday, and wednesday. It will still feel warm in the sunshine. It will have that was for autumn feel to it. Here is monday. Showers were northern scotland. A lot of sunshine as there are ways up scotland. A lot of sunshine as there are ways up across scotland. A lot of sunshine as there are ways up across the country and catch up with the tail end of the weather front. More cloud for southern england and we have seen today. Gone the temperatures in the mid 20s. Just 13 or 14 of further north. Look for quite a chilly start for tuesday. The High Pressure starting to build by then. The winds falling late. Because the temperatures across a good portion of the uk and down into single figures. There will be a lot of sunshine through the day. Perhaps more cloud spilling it is got as the day progresses. Temperatures on tuesday, feel pretty pleasant in the sunshine spilling into scotland. Up sunshine spilling into scotland. Up to 20 in the south. Back to you. Thank you very much, susan. The headlines at eight oclock. Its time now for this weeks travel show. Coming up on this weeks travel show im finding out how you can get up close, as experts restore one of the worlds most famous works of art. Oh man, it looks incredible. Christa goes wild swimming off the coast of scotland. You know what, its actually not. No, i am lying, its really cold. Laughs. Welcome to the travel show, with me, ade adepitan this week coming to you from amsterdam, where they are marking 350 years since the death of one of their most famous artists, rembrandt. In 1631, he made this city his home, and its here that he painted his most famous masterpieces. And you can see many of them on display at the rijksmuseum. But what ive come here to see is very special, and involves a painting that rembrandt is best known for. One of the most famous works of art in the world the night watch. The painting is almost four centuries old, and over the years there have been various restoration attempts. But now the museum is undertaking the most sophisticated one ever, using high tech methods to carry out a forensic examination of how rembrandt actually painted the picture before restoration can begin. And its all being carried out in one of their galleries, in full view of the public, and livestreamed online. Oh man, so thats it, the night watch. It looks incredible. And what are they doing here . The machine you see there is an x ray fluorescent scanner, and this way we get an idea of the elements present in this painting. This is a painting which is for us to admire, why is it so important for you to know about the elements . We need to figure out, we want to know how rembrandt painted it, what his ideas were when he was painting it, how he made this nice composition, was it first all ok on the canvas, or did he change his mind and change small things, or did he change the composition . Those things we would like to know. At the same time, we would like to know what kind of pigments rembrandt used. So you are getting a real idea of what it was like to be a painter in rembrandts time. Yes. Or even just his unique style . His unique style, indeed. Yeah, we are basically on rembrandts shoulder and watching him while he is painting these paintings. So were going to photograph the painting in daylight, but were not going to do it like one snapshot, we are going to do lots of photos next to each other, i think from the top of my head its 11,000 photos. So then we get a really high resolution, its like you are looking through a microscope. 0ne pixel in that photo is like a blood cell, or basically it is smaller than a hair, a human hair. All of this scrutiny, all of this work for one artist what do you think rembrandt would make of it if he was around today . Laughs. I would personally think that he would think we are crazy. Laughs. Yeah, yeah. I have travelled about 30 minutes outside of amsterdam to a Historic Town called leiden, where ive been told you can have a very different rembrandt experience. Leiden is the place where rembrandt was born and opened his first studio. Today its a Smart University town but its still proud of its connection with the artist. And if you like mixing fact with fantasy, one great place to try out is this rembrandt themed escape room, situated here inside an old mediaeval tower. So basically ive been told that this house is haunted by the spirit of rembrandt, and we have an hour to escape, trying to use the clues, and that picture apparently is going to give us some information and help us escape. Jaunty pipe music. Over here, there is a padlock, and its got colours on it. So i am thinking, i am wondering if those colours are anything to do with the colours up on. Can you see . You dont need to know much about the history of art to try and work your way out of this room. But a bit of lateral thinking and a taste for teamwork definitely come in handy. Woo whats in there a creepy cloth yes weve got a creepy cloth i think we are getting loads of clues, and we are having a lot of success, but not the big success that we need. Shall we do it again . Nothing happened. I think we could be here for days is there water and bread here . And then, finally, with only ten minutes left, it all seems to come together. Hopefully. Yes. Yes we are free go team weve escaped well done. Theres only one problem wheres the lift . To finish off this week, christas facing a challenge of her own in scotland now, ive gotta warn you if youre not a fan of swimming in cold water, id look away now. Brrr when the suns out, the coastline around the isle of lewis rivals some of the best beach destinations in europe. With its Crystal Clear waters and soft white sand, even in the height of summer, here you can have large stretches of beach all to yourself. This really is a scottish hidden gem. But its also a small island where predicting the weather can be close to a mystic art. Well, the clouds are drawing in, the wind is up and its started to rain so this is not optimal swimming weather. But what im mainly worried about is the temperature of that seawater. I can guarantee you that you will be warmer inside the water than out today norma has just begun her own wild swimming tours around the isle of lewis as an alternative way to see the area. What do you do when you go wild swimming . The first thing that you do before you go swimming is faff. Theres a lot of faffing youre thinking about where you are going, youre checking tides, water temperature, the weather, so theres a lot of prep before you actually go for a swim. So, in some cases, you wouldnt really call that wild swimming. Its very contrived but, no, once you get in the water, it just takes over. What is the appeal of wild swimming . It is being just totally immersed. Centuries back, some of the islanders used to settle on some of the smaller islands. So, you can see ruins and remains of that. On a couple of my swims, i take people out to an island where there is a temple and a cemetery where people used to bury their dead there, away from the village, they used to take them out to the island. So, for me, its not just about the swimming. Its exploring the heritage as well and all the history that hebrides has to offer. You see Amazing Things that nobody might have seen before. You feel as if youre exploring uncharted territory. You are an explorer yeah wild swimming has only become popular here in recent years. Norma told me that when she was growing up, she learnt that for generations, people here have had a fear of the sea. Just off the coast lies the wreckage of a vessel that sank in 1919. It was carrying soldiers returning from the first world war. More than 200 drowned, leaving a deep scar on the island. And it put many hardy islanders off even learning to swim. But for me, its time to get on with it. Does that feel good . Yeah, good. Im actually quite wet already, and its not because we have been in. Its because its raining. Perfect weather for swimming oh, its lovely. 0h, lovely, you say do you know what . Its actually not. No, im lying, its really cold i was trying to be polite, but its cold. But. I think the longer youre in, you just get used to it. Absolutely. 0k. Yeah. Ok, i can do this. Yeah, you can youre doing it after a few minutes, thanks to my wetsuit, my body did start to warm up, and if you keep moving, its fine. Its not advisable to come wild swimming unless you are really familiar with the area. And norma is constantly checking in with me and guiding me to shallow areas where we can take a break. Because were now coming onto a low tide now, weve passed slack water, so its a bit of a stronger. Its a bit of timing of the tide, really. So we are at the stronger pull of the tide just now, so were going to go with it, and the deeper we getjust now, you can feel it again, that were going that way. So, you really need to be familiar with the area. Due to the sea conditions, we werent able to go to any of the iron age ruins of the islets, but we did manage to reach this place. We have just come into this absolutely beautiful little cave and its so different, isnt it . Weve just come around the headland, which was quite choppy and really strong current, quite dramatic, and here, its so peaceful and calm. And though its really dark, i look down, i can see my feet really clearly. The water is so clean. This is a relatively unexplored corner of the uk. And this certainly is a unique way to explore it. If it werent for the cold and the jellyfish, i feel like i could just float here all day good morning, welcome to breakfast with Rachel Burden and rogerjohnson. 0ur headlines today former conservative minister sam gyimah defects to the liberal democrats, after being expelled from his party for rebelling against the Prime Minister over brexit.
