The former president faces three separate criminal trials in the coming months but remains the frontrunner for the republican president ial nomination for next years election. Our North America correspondent nomia iqbal has the report. Donald trump has described his latest Court Appearance as a very sad day for america. Our North America correspondent nomia iqbal has the report. It was the same atmosphere but a different venue. Those who Love And Hate donald trump turned up outside the courthouse, ready for his arrival. Once donald trump lived as president in this city. But he returned as a criminal defendant. He faces four charges and is accused of orchestrating an astonishingly Broad Campaign to overturn the Election Results of 2020. Its alleged he used unlawful methods to try and get joe bidens victory blocked. Inside court, mr trumps lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf. But the former president did speak as he left the city. This is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in america. This is the persecution of the person thats leading by very, very substantial numbers in the republican primary and leading biden by a lot. So if you cant beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. Its easy to almost become immune to Donald Trumps legal problems. But this case is bigger than all the other indictments, and that is because ultimately its about americas democracy and how the former president stands accused of trying to overthrow it. January 6th left a painful and indelible mark on the uss image here and worldwide. Five people died and more than 1,000 were arrested. Donald trump isnt charged with inciting the violence, but accused of exploiting it. For his supporters and Many Republican voters, every indictment turns him into a bigger hero. Its not going to change my vote, and i think its actually going to make a lot of the American People understand exactly what weve been saying with regard to the witch hunt, with regard to the Political Division in this country. I think its going to earn him votes more than anything. Thats how much i like donald trump. Hes a mans man. And the problem is today, men in america dont know what a mans man is any more. Donald trump could be facing a fourth indictment over Election Tampering and its likely to propel him closer to clinching the republican partys nomination, allowing him to run again for the presidency. Nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. 0ur North America correspondent Sean Dilleyjoins us now from washington. Good dilleyjoins us now from washington. Morning, see repeating good morning, sean. Its worth repeating that very simple principle, isnt it, a former president in court, facing charges. There has been a bit of time in the us to absorb that main fault, what are people saying, what is being said today . Said today . Perhaps even more impactful. Said today . Perhaps even more impactful. He said today . Perhaps even more impactful, he would said today . Perhaps even more impactful, he would like said today . Perhaps even more impactful, he would like to said today . Perhaps even more impactful, he would like to be l said today . Perhaps even more i impactful, he would like to be the 47th president having served as the 45th. My crew was one of those outside the courthouse, the charges were set out in the report, quite serious charges but innocent until proven guilty. What was absolutely fascinating to observe was we were chatting to donald Trump Supporters when the plea came in, not guilty. It was treated as if it was a verdict of the court, there was no need for the due process. Some Republican Voters saying, we still believe the election was stolen and evenif believe the election was stolen and even if donald trump went to prison, we would still vote for him. Democrats think everything should have happened much more quickly in the trial should have already happened. And people who are neither democrats nor republicans saying, this has been an indelible mark but it had damaged americas reputation more generally. A man said he was a democrat voter, and he says that the timing of this appears to be slightly political in the run up to the election. That is an image issue for the prosecution. The reality here is that there are very serious charges. We knew for some time that these charges were coming but the case yesterday in the washington, dc court officially makes donald trump a defendant in a very serious criminal case. A defendant in a very serious criminal case. , ~ ,. ,. Six minutes past six, we will talk about air quality, specifically in london, and a development. Yes, we have been focusing on this for some time. The labour mayor of london, sadiq khan, has announced a grant of up to £2,000 for people who want to replace their car with one which is less polluting. It comes ahead of the expansion of the capitals Ultra Low Emission Zone or ulez. Clean air zones are also being rolled out in other cities. Harry farley reports. The political storm around sadiq khans expansion of the area covered by londons Ultra Low Emission Zone has been building. Drivers of cars that produce too much pollution must pay £12. 50 a day to drive in the zone. The Conservative Party candidate, 13,960. An unexpected victory for the conservatives in the uxbridge and South Ruislip by election last month, was put down to the labour mayors scheme. Sadiq khan has lost labour this election and we know that it was his damaging and costly ulez policy that lost them this election. Sadiq khan won a legal battle at the high court so his plan to expand the scheme to outer london can go ahead later this month. He says it is vital for Peoples Health to clean up londons air. But today the mayor has announced an increase in compensation for those forced to scrap their vehicles. Previously, only those on benefits were eligible. Now every londoner with a noncompliant car can claim up to £2,000 to upgrade. The payment for Small Businesses to scrap vans has risen from £5,000 to £7,000, and charities can get £9,000 to scrap minibuses that dont meet emissions thresholds. Other cities like bristol and birmingham have already implemented low emission zones. The total cost of londons Scrappage Fund will now be £160 million. But there are questions over whether this will be enough to cater for the 300,000 noncompliant cars plus vans in outer london. For the Hundreds And Thousands of noncompliant cars plus vans in outer london. Harry farley, bbc news. A mother and stepfather will be sentenced over the death of a ten month old boy at derby crown court.

The nhs is set to be given the green light to perform an extra 750,000 tests and checks a year through so called one stop Shop Community diagnostic centres. The government today announced 13 new centres, which patients will be referred to by doctors for scans and other investigations. Its part of a plan backed by an Elective Recovery Task Thousands Ofjobs are at risk after the budget homeware chain, wilko, announced that it is on the brink of collapse. Hannah has the details. This is going to be causing a lot of concern . Thats right. It looks like one of the uks Biggest Discount Retail Chains could be heading towards administration. Wilko is a family owned business which employs 12,000 people and has around 400 Stores Across britain. Theyd been looking for a buyerfor months after running into troubles. Wilkos boss says theyve been forced to file a notice of intent. This essentially protects businesses from creditors for ten days, which could give wilko a chance to secure its finances. We know it is a tough time for the high street in general as people cut back their spending. And the weather isnt help. The number of people heading out to the shops fell for the firstjuly in 1a years as the uk grappled with one of the wettest months on record. Well keep you posted on wilkos fate. Households could be paid if large new Electricity Pylons are built near their home, under proposals to speed up the switch to greener energy. The plans are part of a government commissioned review looking at ways to halve the 12 14 years it currently takes to build new power lines. 0ur Political Correspondent ione wells has more. Theyve been dubbed the motorways of power. Power lines like this Transport Electricity from where it is made to where it is used. But the grid that connects them is very congested. The government and labour have pledged to ramp up Offshore Wind and other forms of Renewable Energy which needs to get onto land. More electric transport and Heating Systems are pushing up demand for electricity too. The government commissioned an independent report to work out how to halve the time it takes to build new power lines. Energy expert nick windsor, who wrote the report, said the Planning Permission Process for them should be streamlined and that households near new large pylons should get payments. He says this is necessary to halve the time it takes to build new pylons. Its becoming very, very urgent. Weve been fantastically successful at building Offshore Wind in particular and solar as well. That those sources have become the cheapest power on the system ministers have not yet said if they will commit to all his recommendations. The bbc has been told they have been well received in government, but building new lines could cause tensions with some conservative mps and campaigners who have rallied against planned pylons in their areas. I will have a pylon situated about a50 metres from my front door, so that will he obviously visually intrusive. Its probably going to have an effect on Property Values here. There are close neighbours who run businesses, bed and breakfast, things like that, who will also have adverse effects from the pylons being close by. 0ur campaign is no to the pylons, but it also has a positive aspect. Were saying yes to an integrated offshore grid which will give a cleaner, quicker and cheaper and easier solution. The report argues paying people to live near overhead lines would still be cheaper than building them underground and would have a lower environmental impact. Supporters say there may be trade offs needed between green energy and green spaces, arguing if the proposals arent adopted, clean energy will be wasted and bills could stay higherfor longer. The Energy Secretary is due to confirm in the autumn what recommendations they may adopt. Until then, where they go, who benefits and how many are built is a political debate that continues to grow. Ione wells, bbc news. Thousands of Afghan Refugees in the uk are facing homelessness after being ordered by the government to leave the hotels theyve been housed in since fleeing the taliban. The organisation representing councils in england and wales, said one in five afghans being evicted from hotels have nowhere else to live. The government says its offered extensive support to find long term homes. The government of alberta in canada has withdrawn its bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games due to rising costs. Officials said the bill was estimated at around £1. 5 billion, which they say was too high to bear. Last month australia also pulled out of hosting the 2026 games in victoria, also because of budget concerns. Heres simon with a look at this mornings weather. There was some sunshine yesterday offering some relief from the rain . Yes, and you might see some today as well, naga. Lets start with the weekend, though, this is a familiar story, heavy rain and coastal gales, sunday a bit better, some showers around, the wind is easing as well. The reason for the wet and windy weather is this area of low pressure, currently in the atlantic at the moment. For today we have got at the moment. For today we have got a ridge of High Pressure which is just a window of slightly more fine weather. Today some sunny spells, some showers particularly around Eastern Areas, they could be quite heavy or thundery later on this afternoon. This morning we start with a fairamount afternoon. This morning we start with a fair amount of cloud but that will tend to break up and there will be sunny spells developing. 0ne will tend to break up and there will be sunny spells developing. One or two showers in wales and the midlands but most of this afternoon around Eastern Areas. Look at the brighter colours, the greens, indicative of the heavier thundershowers. Largely dry towards Western Areas, and not feeling too bad in the sunshine. High teens to late 20s. Tonight this is the troublemaker, this area of low pressure, another weekend of wet and windy weather. That will move into Northern Ireland tonight, look at the green again, Heavy Rain Spreading east through into the early hours of saturday morning. Strong winds will develop developing around the coast of wales, South West England, 55 to 60 miles an hour. That will gradually move away to the east is the day goes on on saturday, and we are left with sunny spells and showers. Some could be heavy on saturday into the afternoon. Scientists say the average Surface Temperature of the worlds oceans has surpassed the previous record set in 2016. The Eu Climate Change Service has warned that the upward trend in temperatures has been caused largely by global warming. 0ur Climate Editorjustin Rowlatt is in plymouth with more details. He is right by the ocean for us. We talk so much about air temperature, and you are talking about Sea Temperature, take us through what the findings are showing. We temperature, take us through what the findings are showing. Temperature, take us through what the findings are showing. We do talk a lot about air the findings are showing. We do talk a lot about air temperatures, the findings are showing. We do talk a lot about air temperatures, as the findings are showing. We do talk a lot about air temperatures, as you | a lot about air temperatures, as you say, i am actually on the ocean, on this boat owned by the Marine Biological association. They use this for research, is one of the oldest Marine Research institutions in the world. You are right, Ocean Temperatures are really important. 90 of the heat that Climate Change has created, produced on earth, is absorbed by the oceans. If you think about it they act like a radiator, regulating the planets temperature and the Weather Systems of us planet. And they determine the environment in which Sea Creatures and plants live. 0ne Environment in which Sea Creatures and plants live. One of the things that the marillion Marine Biological association does is it has a 90 year record of plankton around the ocean is looking at the impact. Impact of things like changing temperatures. This record temperature, 20. 96 celsius, way above the average, and an all time record temperature, and it will be having a big effect on the ocean around the uk and around the world. I have been discovering here in plymouth. Theyve been taking measurements of Ocean Temperatures here in plymouth for more than a century. And for the last 50 or so years, theyve showed a slow but steady increase, up about a third of a degree a decade. Have we got a reading for today yet, do you know . I heard them Say Something around 18 or 19, which is four Degrees Higher than it should be. Its been a similar pattern globally. Rising Sea Temperatures and increasing numbers of marine heatwaves. And it has just reached a new peak, 20. 96 Degrees Celsius, the highest Global Average Sea Temperature ever recorded. The worlds warming waters are a dangerous trend, say experts. Peoples perspective is that the ocean is so big, so vast, that it can buffer anything that humanity can throw at it. And the reality is thats not the case. Everything has its niche within the ocean, and its incredibly easy to to break that niche and influence it and upset it. Take plankton. These tiny plants and animals are crucial to life on the planet. Theyre the basis of the entire Marine Food Chain and produce half the oxygen in our atmosphere. So every other breath you take. And they are sensitive to heat. Many species have been migrating north as the worlds oceans warm. Personally, im really concerned. The heatwaves that were experiencing on land and the marine heatwaves that were seeing are happening in unusual locations where we havent expected them. But there is hope. Scientists are learning more about how the Ocean Ecosystems function every day. We have the Renewable Technologies that can tackle Climate Change by reducing our use of fossil fuels. We just need to make the change quickly. This impact, we have explained what the impact is having on the oceans and the seas, but how is it affecting us in our everyday lives . The ocean affects us all in ways that we dont often think about. As i said it absorbs 90 of the man made heating on earth, but the oceans are a way of distributing heat around the world, they drive the Weather Systems. 0ne heat around the world, they drive the Weather Systems. One of the reasons why britain is so much hotter than canada which is at the same latitude is because of a great current that takes heat up from the tropics and passed the uk which keeps us warm. If those currents change, and we dont know what will happen as the sea gets hotter, we have never seen this process happened before, if those currents change, that could change temperatures and lower the temperatures and lower the temperature in the uk. But it could also affect Weather Systems all over the world. There is a big Monsoon System in west africa, one of the reasons there are rainforests in west africa. If the ocean currents change, that Monsoon System could change, that Monsoon System could change with devastating effect. These are really big Global Systems that are really important to all of us. That is the macro level, the big perspective on it. At a smaller perspective, i was talking about plankton, the smallest plants and animals in the ocean, they have evolved to live in certain temperatures and as that changes, for example, some species have been migrating north. They produce 50 of the oxygen on earth. If those populations change, that could have an effect on that. This is a really important thing for us to be concerned about and to watch and learn more about. Concerned about and to watch and learn more about. Something tells me that eole learn more about. Something tells me that people watching learn more about. Something tells me that people watching this learn more about. Something tells me that people watching this money learn more about. Something tells me that people watching this money will l that people watching this money will have quite a few questions. Looking at the water behind you, people know about it, its in and around us. We will talk to you again later and say thank you for the moment and we will see you later. It affects us all and its deftly something we should be talking about a lot more.

The american Pop Star Lizzo says allegations made by three of herformer dancers, including of Sexual Harassment and creating a hostile work environment, are false. The singer described the last few days as gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. The bbc has spoken to the three dancers, who say she needs to be held accountable. Our Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson reports. Baby, how you feeling . Feeling good as hell on stage and in interviews, lizzo has shared a message of Body Positivity and celebrating who you are. Hey, lizzo, this is ariana, and im super excited to get the chance to audition for your dancer and model search. She was a role model to the three dancers who have taken out this lawsuit containing allegations lizzo rejects as false. They spoke to me from la on why they felt they had to go public. This was worst case scenario. It was a last resort. This person that has been bullied her whole life has now gotten power and now she has kind of lost touch of, i believe, who she is and her roots and now shes doing to others which was done to her. The claims involve explicit sexual acts with sex toys and being made to rehearse for so long that the dancers soiled themselves. I do think she needs to be held accountable for all the things l that she has done or enabled and created this environment to be done in. But they have a fight on their hands. Lizzo has now responded to the claims, releasing a statement in which she says the allegations are false, unbelievable and too outrageous not to be addressed. And there is still every chance that this will never make it to court. I would imagine that lizzo will begin to reinforce her brand. Thats been attacked as to whether thats truly authentic. So youll see her double down. Youll see her team begin to attack the other side. And i would imagine that this will be settled. Its hard to love yourself in a world that doesnt love you back. The three dancers told me that lizzos statement has left them overwhelmed, disappointed and feeling overlooked. Lizzo says she is not the villain that people and the media have portrayed her to be. Do you consider lizzo to be a villain . Do i think lizzo can take this and change and be who she says she is . Yes, absolutely. I want her to be who she said she was when i first met her. The bbc has asked lizzo for an interview. She has yet to respond. Colin paterson, bbc news. Still to come on breakfast. Have you ever considered turning your home into a Hedgehog Hospital .

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Hello, good morning from bbc london. Im victoria hollins. The mayor of london has announced an expansion of his Scrappage Scheme to help owners of Non Compliant Ulez vehicles. Grants of up to £2,000 will now be available to drivers with a non compliant cars, the Scrappage Payment for vans will increase to £7,000 and Additional Support will also be available to charities. City hall has also confirmed the expansion of ulez to outer london will go ahead on august 29th, as planned. There will be no Rail Services from london to brightons pride event this weekend. Govia thameslink say the difficult decision is necessary due to Staff Shortages and safety concerns. Brighton station will be closed and the Gatwick Express will not run. Brighton and hove council has said it is extremely disapppointed at the decision. It treats some of the most critically injured patients in the capital but londons air ambulance is a charity, which needs to raise £15 million by next autumn to replace its helicopter fleet. One person whose life was saved by the service is James Basco Smith who was stabbed on the street and received Open Heart Surgery at the roadside. We had to give him all his blood back. So a big transfusion very quickly. Open up his chest. And because the hearts not beating, we actually had to beat it ourselves by squeezing it. You actually had your hands on his heart, basically. Yeah. Holding the heart in your two hands and squeezing it so that you can pump blood and oxygen around to all the organs of the body. Thank you for saving me and not giving up on me. And well have a special programme on the work of londons air ambulance live from the helipad at 6. 30pm tonight here on bbc1. Lets take a look at the tubes now. All lines are running fine apart from the planned part closure of a section of the Bakerloo Line and london overground. Now on to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. Hello there. Good morning. If youre after something that looks a bit more like summer weather wise, we may be in for some luck by the time it gets to the end of the new working week. So keep an eye on the forecast. But until then its still very unsettled. It will be wet and windy at times and there are some more showers in the forecast for today. Theyll be mostly out towards Eastern Areas of the capital where its also going to be more cloudy, too. We could see some lines of showers formed. So some places just seeing shower after shower. But the further west you are, the more likely you are to stay largely dry throughout the day. I really wouldnt rule out the odd shower or two though even here. And therell be a bit more in the way of sunshine as well. Top temperatures of around 18 to 21 Degrees Celsius and cooler air moving down on that still northwesterly wind. And then as we head through this evening and overnight, well, well start to see things cloud over from the west. It is set to turn wet and windy into the start of the day tomorrow. So some heavy downpours of rain on and off through the day on saturday. Its going to be feeling cool and therell be some strong, gusty winds, too, with a deep area of low pressure slowly moving eastwards. Sunday is drier and brighter. Thats it. Bye. Hello. This is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Interest rates have risen for the 14th time in a row. A lot of people die jesting this today because it is just not people with mortgages, people who are considering loans or credit card payments but say this as well. To payments but say this as well. Tfr some extent it was expected but that does not make it any easier, particularly for those people already struggling, who will now see payments go up. The cost of borrowing is the highest it has been for 15 years. The Bank Of England has raised its base rate of interest from 5 to 5. 2 . The 14th hike in a row since the end of 2021. Thats because inflation the rate at which prices are rising is still way above the banks target of 2 . After the announcement yesterday, the average Mortgage Holder on a tracker deal was instantly hit with a bill of almost £24 per month, adding up to 300 extra pounds they will have to find each year. Remember, that s on top of all the previous 14 hikes. For those with fixed Rate Mortgages that are about to end, around 800,000 this year, getting a new deal is much more expensive. How expensive . Take a look at this. A £200,000 loan over 25 years could now set you back an additional £500 a month, as compared to nearly two years ago. Ive been speaking to some of the people facing a big rise in their housing costs. In millions of homes across the country, yet another rise in Interest Rates brings more discomfort. It kind of corrects through inflation. James has been trying to sell his flat for years, but after the sale fell through a month ago, now hes faced with even bigger payments on his mortgage. To kind of put it in perspective, our monthly repayment was £825. We first took out the mortgage and then weve extended the term. But a like for like repayment now would be about 1,350. Its a massive jump and the plan was to sell the flats, planning stuff, stop that kind of completing and now were kind of effectively stuck on a variable Rate Mortgage because were still trying to sell the flats. You know, today our mortgage goes up by £40 a month. How do you feel when you hear Interest Rates are going up again . Helplessness. Personally, it hurts, but im not really sure what other choice they have. So when did you set up mr deals . That was about three years ago. Paul runs a blog and receives hundreds of messages every day from people worried about their costs continuing to go up. Most people are coming to me with panic. Theres a lot of people who are looking to buy their first house or they fixed a few years ago and what appeared to be a cheap Interest Rate. And now theyre faced with the prospect of their mortgage going up by hundreds of pounds a month. Do you have people coming to you who simply cant afford their mortgage any more . There are a scary amount of people out there, who unfortunately just cant afford their mortgage. In those cases, i tried to encourage people to go and speak to somebody like Citizens Advice or a local charity. There are organisations out there who are willing to help. But the sad truth at the moment is that theres going to be millions of people out there in a vulnerable position. And among the new mums at this dance class, many feel they cant cutback any further. How do you feel about the Cost Of Living at the moment . Its annoying more than anything else. Becuase its been going on for so long now. You kind of felt like last year it was like, oh, its going to be really had last year and then might get better this year, and its just not. Ifeel like im weighing up the cost of everything. You know, if i want to go out and do something, im like, but, do we need the money for the car, for the heating, forformula . And itjust makes it frustrating just day to day. I was at a stage where we could save, and now ijust feel like that moneys being eaten up into the normal day to day shopping, groceries, utility bills. And itjust. It makes you feel a bit stuck. It leaves you a bit sad and a bit stuck. You can see, you know, the Impact Ofjust everything going up. Trying to keep a toddler in fruit and nappies is, you know. Were not sort of struggling with it at the moment, but you can see, definitely see costs going up. The Bank Of England hopes that its attempt to slow the rise in the Cost Of Living will eventually help families in places like this. But with prices and Interest Rates continuing to rise, many are finding it hard to plan for the future. While mortgages are getting more expensive, Interest Rate hikes should be good news for savers. But banks have been slow to pass on those higher rates to their customers, and so the Banking Watchdog is cracking down. Under new rules that came into force this week, banks must prove they are offering their customers the best deal possible. And the advice remains to shop around. And a reminder, if you have concerns, or are struggling with the rising Cost Of Living there, there are money there are money tips and a range of other advice on the tackling it together section of the bbc news website bbc. Co. Uk news. People have been asking when all this will come down but the banks signalled yesterday that rates will be high for quite some time. About the Cost Of Living, what you can afford, there is a direct link to the sports story, a place in canada saying they cannot afford to host a sporting event. Another big blow to the future of the Commonwealth Games. Alberta in canada was due to be putting in a bid. There is the mountains, the beautiful setting. They were considering putting in a bid to host the 2030 games. That is the government in alberta. This follows what happened in victoria. I was saying a couple of weeks ago on this very sofa, the state of victoria said, no, we cant do it any more. The budget is blown, if you like. These places are doing the same thing as households are doing, what better thing can we not pay for . How can we for it . At the moment the whole future of the game in the financial viability is being questioned as a search for the city or region for the games in three years time continues. What a difference when the game was staged as it was staged in birmingham. It was claimed more money was generated for the economy. Birmingham had stepped in for durbin, who themselves had pulled out earlier in 2017. As for what next, london, potentially the mayor has expressed an interest. Scotlands First Minister has said it could consider playing at least a part in staging the tournament in 2026. Team gb have won their first gold medal at the cycling World Championships in glasgow. It came in the womens1km Time Trialfor visually impaired Athletes Sophie Unwin and Pilotjenny Holl were more than a second down on the leading australian pair with a lap to go, but fought back to win byjust six hundredths of a second. Jordan elizabeth and amy cole finished third to claim bronze for Great Britain. And there could be more gold for unwin and holl, who are aiming to retain their pursuit title in todays final. Oh, it was just incredible. The crowds in here are amazing. We knew we were going fast from the qualifying, but, yeah, to win it in front of this crowd and the support we had, it was just amazing. But theres no words for it. Were not sprinters. This isnt our event. Were road riders at heart and the australian girls are sprinters, so they were always going to get ahead of us early on and we just had to have faith that its four laps, its still a long way and know that we can bring it back at the end. There was a dramatic finale to the opening day with will tidball claiming a surprise gold for Great Britain in the mens scratch race. There he is celebrating. The 23 year old from devon timed the 60 lap race to perfection taking the lead on the final corner and crossing the line to claim the first senior title of his career. Hes the first briton to win this event since ben swift in melbourne 11 years ago. And jody cundy proved age is no barrier to being the fastest in the world. The 44 year old smashed the world record in the flying 200m time trial, which is part of the multi race c4 omnium event. The championship kicks off tonight. Hit bennion rescued bad tide to make their third qualifying round. Mixed fortunes for british sides in the Europa Conference League last night. Derry city head to kazakhstan next week after coming through a thrilling qualifier in finland, 5 4 on aggregate. Hibs responded emphatically to their first leg andorran defeat by thrashing inter club descaldes to reach the third qualifying round.

Get a look at this take aeroplane. Get a look at this take a look around the festival. If all the world is a stage, then edinburgh right now is the centre of the universe. Some have even come from a galaxy far, far away. The International Festival and the fringe will see theatres, concert halls, pubs, clubs and streets rammed with performers. The covid years took their toll, so this summer feels like a return to normal. But thats not a word frequently used around here. Certainly, last year still felt that there was a lot of tension in the air from the artist community, nervous about making the investments come back, from audiences, knowing that theres a Cost Of Living crisis approaching. But this year just feels. It feels totally different. It feels like theres a positivity. Theres a sense that a Global Pandemic is behind us and that were now in some ways emerging to a more kind of happy and joyful place. So it feels totally different this year. There are 3,500 shows to see and lots of people urging you to see them. Whats this . That is alba, and its an original scottish play about the 2014 scottish independence, however, from a non biased view. Yes. So from comedy to tragedy and everything in between. Politics, philosophy, theology, poetry, musicals, everything is here in edinburgh. If its a Human Emotion and it can be put on a stage, youll be able to see it at the festival over the next days and weeks. In fact, something for everyone. Adults, kids, adults who want to be kids. So tell us what this is all about. So big kid kindergarten is an adult Play Experience for grownups. Maybe they want to use crayons or play doh or make new friends without the pleasantries and small talk of adult life. You have to be careful here, though. Bump into a star, like friend of The Show Viggo Venn and next thing you know, youre part of the act. So the audience can see you. Yeah. Feel overdressed. John from the bbc. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Ridiculous. And then. Hes over 65 years old. Its not so hard. Urgh look, look, we got a laugh easily pleased. Its not so hard, you know. Its lovely to be back, because ive been here almost. I lived here almost a year of my life. No, eight edinburghs. Thats eight months, no. I could raise a child in edinburgh. But this time, Everybody Knows who you are. Weve already had people taking photos. I know saying they cant get tickets for the show. I know. Well, i mean, the first year i was here, we played a show in front of a family of four and then two of them left. So now its sold out. So its a different experience this year. I would say break a leg, but what have you done to yourself . Injured your foot. I kicked my foot into the stage as a joke. And now its broken. It really is broken. Yeah. Ouch. I got a laugh so its a joke that keeps on giving. My pain is your pleasure. This place will make you think, sing, cry. Useless leg. But most of all it will make you smile.

The mayor of london has announced an expansion of his Scrappage Scheme to help owners of Non Compliant Ulez vehicles. Grants of up to £2,000 will now be available to drivers with a non compliant cars, the Scrappage Payment for vans will increase to £7,000 and Additional Support will also be available to charities. City hall has also confirmed the expansion of ulez to outer london will go ahead on august 29th, as planned. There will be no Rail Services from london to brightons pride event this weekend. Govia thameslink say the difficult decision is necessary due to Staff Shortages and safety concerns. Brighton station will be closed and the Gatwick Express will not run. Brighton and hove council has said it is extremely disapppointed at the decision. It treats some of the most critically injured patients in the capital but londons air ambulance is a charity, which needs to raise £15 million by next autumn to replace its helicopter fleet. One person whose life was saved by the service is James Basco Smith who was stabbed on the street and received Open Heart Surgery at the roadside. We had to give him all his blood back. So a big transfusion very quickly. Open up his chest. And because the hearts not beating, we actually had to beat it ourselves by squeezing it. You actually had your hands on his heart, basically. Yeah. Holding the heart in your two hands and squeezing it so that you can pump blood and oxygen around to all the organs of the body. Thank you for saving me and not giving up on me. And well have a special programme on the work of londons air ambulance live from the helipad at 6. 30pm tonight here on bbc1. Lets take a look at the tubes now. All lines are running fine apart from the planned part closure of a section of the Bakerloo Line and london overground. Now on to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. Hello there. Good morning. If youre after something that looks a bit more like summer weather wise, we may be in for some luck by the time it gets to the end of the new working week. So keep an eye on the forecast. But until then its still very unsettled. It will be wet and windy at times and there are some more showers in the forecast for today. Theyll be mostly out towards Eastern Areas of the capital where its also going to be more cloudy, too. We could see some lines of showers formed. So some places just seeing shower after shower. But the further west you are, the more likely you are to stay largely dry throughout the day. I really wouldnt rule out the odd shower or two though even here. And therell be a bit more in the way of sunshine as well. Top temperatures of around 18 to 21 Degrees Celsius and cooler air moving down on that still northwesterly wind. And then as we head through this evening and overnight, well, well start to see things cloud over from the west. It is set to turn wet and windy into the start of the day tomorrow. So some heavy downpours of rain on and off through the day on saturday. Its going to be feeling cool and therell be some strong, gusty winds, too, with a deep area of low pressure slowly moving eastwards. Sunday is drier and brighter. Thats it. Dont forget you can keep up to date by downloading the bbc news app. Well be back in half an hour. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Our headlines today.

But the former president did speak as he left the city. This is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in america. This is the persecution of the person thats leading by very, very substantial numbers in the republican primary and leading biden by a lot. So if you cant beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. Its easy to almost become immune to Donald Trumps legal problems. But this case is bigger than all the other indictments, and that is because ultimately its about americas democracy and how the former president stands accused of trying to overthrow it. January 6th left a painful and indelible mark on the uss image here and worldwide. Five people died and more than 1,000 were arrested. Donald trump isnt charged with inciting the violence, but accused of exploiting it. For his supporters and Many Republican voters, every indictment turns him into a bigger hero. Its not going to change my vote, and i think its actually going to make a lot of the American People understand exactly what weve been saying with regard to the witch hunt, with regard to the Political Division in this country. I think its going to earn him votes more than anything. Thats how much i like donald trump. Hes a mans man. And the problem is today, men in america dont know what a mans man is any more. Donald trump could be facing a fourth indictment over Election Tampering and its likely to propel him closer to clinching the republican partys nomination, allowing him to run again for the presidency. Nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. Earlier, our North America correspondent sean dilley described the reaction outside court. My crew was one of those outside the courthouse, nomia set out those charges, quite serious charges but innocent until proven guilty. What was absolutely fascinating to observe was we were chatting to donald Trump Supporters when the plea came in, not guilty. It was treated as if it was a verdict of the court, that there was no need for the due process. Some Republican Voters saying, we still believe the election was stolen and even if donald trump went to prison, we would still vote for him. Democrats as you can imagine think everything should have happened much more quickly, the trial should have already happened. And people who are neither democrats nor republicans saying, this has been an indelible mark and it had damaged americas reputation more generally. A man said he was a democrat voter, and he says he had to concede the timing of this appears to be slightly political in the run up to the election. That is an image issue for the prosecution. The reality here is that there are very serious charges. We knew for some time that these charges were coming but the case yesterday in the washington, dc court officially makes donald trump a defendant in a very serious criminal case. Sean daly describing the scenes outside the court yesterday when donald trump made his appearance. Lets pick up now on stories related to air quality in london and cars. Thank you, charlie. A car Scrappage Scheme has been extended to more drivers ahead of the expansion the Ultra Low Emission Zone in london. The mayor of london sadiq khan has announced all londoners with a noncompliant vehicle can now access up to £2,000 to replace their vehicle with a less polluting one. Our reporter, harry farley has more. The political storm around sadiq khans expansion of the area covered by londons Ultra Low Emission Zone has been building. Drivers of cars that produce too much pollution must pay £12. 50 a day to drive in the zone. The Conservative Party candidate, 13,965. An unexpected victory for the conservatives in the uxbridge and South Ruislip by election last month, was put down to the labour mayors scheme. Sadiq khan has lost labour this election and we know that it was his damaging and costly ulez policy that lost them this election. Sadiq khan won a legal battle at the high court so his plan to expand the scheme to outer london can go ahead later this month. He says it is vital for Peoples Health to clean up londons air. But today the mayor has announced an increase in compensation for those forced to scrap their vehicles. Previously, only those on benefits were eligible. Now every londoner with a noncompliant car can claim up to £2,000 to upgrade. The payment for Small Businesses to scrap vans has risen from £5,000 to £7,000, and charities can get £9,000 to scrap minibuses that dont meet emissions thresholds. Other cities like bristol and birmingham have already implemented low emission zones. The total cost of londons Scrappage Fund will now be £160 million. But there are questions over whether this will be enough to cater for the Hundreds And Thousands of noncompliant cars plus vans in outer london. Harry farley, bbc news.

Wilko is a family owned business which employs 12,000 people and has around 400 Stores Across britain. Wilco has not confirmed whether or not theirjobs would be affected.

We know it is a tough time for the high street in general as people cut back their spending. The weather isnt helping either the number of people heading out to the shops fell for the firstjuly in 14 years as the uk grappled with one of the wettest months on record. Well keep you posted as we find out wilkos fate in the next week or so. Thousands of Afghan Refugees in the uk are facing homelessness after being ordered by the government to leave hotels where theyve been staying since fleeing the taliban. Our Political Correspondent, Jonathan Blakejoins us now. Good morning, jonathan. On the surface, you hear this and you think, where will they go, they were housed after fleeing the taliban, fleeing danger and persecution in their homeland and came here. They came there for safety. Yes. Their homeland and came here. They came there for safety. Came there for safety. Yes, that is the question. Came there for safety. Yes, that is the question, where came there for safety. Yes, that is the question, where will came there for safety. Yes, that is the question, where will this i came there for safety. Yes, that is l the question, where will this people go . 8000 people came to this country when the taliban took over, many had worked alongside British Forces in the country, they had the right to live and work in the uk and they were placed in hotels largely to begin with and other forms of temporary accommodation in areas across the country, mostly england. Whilst a more permanent solution could be found. Back in april the government wrote to these individuals telling them that they had three months to leave. Local authorities are now saying that many of these people are now facing homelessness because there simply is not anywhere for them to go and we all know about the acute shortage of housing supply in many areas across the uk. So affordable private rented or social housing is really a struggle for people to find. The local Government Association is warning that it has been distressing and causing huge disruption to these people and their families and that the accommodation is not available for them. The accommodation is not available forthem. Many the accommodation is not available for them. Many people going to the local authorities where they are claiming to be homeless and having to be housed in an emergency basis. The government say they provided almost £300 million worth of funding and extensive government support. Thank you for taking us through that.

There is positive news next week, signs that we i looking too good. There is positive i news next week, signs that we might see something a little bit more like summer, more details in a moment. Good morning, everybody. A fairly cloudy but sunny spells developing through the day to day, just the risk of some showers, mostly towards Eastern Areas of the uk which could be quite heavy or thundery later on. That is the seamless morning in northamptonshire, there is cloud around with some sunny spells breaking through the cloud. As we go through to date the best of the sunshine will be across Western Areas. In the east around the pennines, that is where we will see the heaviest of the showers. Look at the heaviest of the showers. Look at the brighter colours, the risk of thunderstorms in that. Dry with sunny spells elsewhere, maximum temperatures in the high teens to low 20s. Through tonight, this area of low pressure is slowly moving its way in. Look at the isobars, the white lines are quite close together, windy conditions going into the weekend. Here is the rain that will move through Northern Ireland in the early part of saturday morning, gradually making its way eastwards. The wind is picking up, gales across South West England and wales, look at the heavy rain as it moves its way eastwards. The rain will clear away to bring sunny spells and showers, certainly for scotland, Northern Ireland, through norther parts of ingle england. There could be some chavez but it will be sunshine as well. Disappointingly cool for the time of year. An area of low pressure moving in next week but we want to see this area of High Pressure building in which will bring more settled conditions later this week next week. Perhaps that produce up next week. Perhaps that produce up to the high 20s next week. Perhaps temperatures. Thank you, simon. Retailers are trying to tackle a surge in cases of shoplifting and staff say they have concerns about safety as they face more violence and abuse. The Welsh Retail Consortium is now calling for greater support from police. The home office says policing has received Record Investment and it expects forces to take the issue seriously. Jordan davies has this report. This person is stealing from Thejohn Lewis store in cardiff. Its brazen. Theyre filling a black bag full of goods. But theyve been caught by security. They were convicted. And theres been a lot more of this across wales in the last year. Adrian works in the retail giants security team. Hes just dealt with an incident. Ijust had an incident with a female and unfortunately the female escalated the situation and it required one of my team to intervene and escort the lady from the shop having explained to her what our policies are. How often does that happen . Fairly often. More often than you would like. I would like to say daily, but were probably not far off a daily occurrence. Waless largest Retail Centre cardiff saw more than 30 rise in violence and abuse towards staff from 2021 to 2022 and a nearly 70 rise in shoplifting, with one Industry Body saying there were more than a million thefts from shops reported last year. Shops Likejohn Lewis are using these body worn cameras to stop people stealing from their stores and abusing their staff. But they say theyve seen a huge rise across wales, across the uk in these kinds of incidents. Alcohol, perfumes, cosmetics are among the most targeted items. Prolific repeat offenders, organised crime and gangs and the Cost Of Living have been cited as reasons. This is the kind of Thing Retail Staff have to put up with. You stupid little bleep. All right. Im going to ask you to take your stuff out of the bag and leave. Retailers say people are less tolerant and patient in general after the pandemic. Some shops are now Training Staff to predict when a situation may become violent, known as de escalation training. So were investing across the board in a suite of solutions, whether that be investing in our cctv, we have now rolled out body worn cameras to every single shop, both across waitrose and john lewis. Were investing heavily in training not just for our security teams, but for partners across the board. So theyre able to, should they want to, take part in some de escalation training so theyd be able to handle an incident should it arise. The losses are costing shops £1 billion a year across the uk, which may be passed on to us, the customer. Sara represents retailers in wales and says shes writing to the South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner to ask for more help. Were asking for more resources. We understand the challenges that the police face and were also asking the home office to look at some of the legislation thats in place, like the police crime, sentencing and courts act. We want that to be bolstered and better reporting around the data in that which will hopefully help our retailers in the long run. These are not victimless crimes. It affects retail staff and consumers. Theres concern if its not tackled now, itll only get worse. Holidays can be full of hidden costs and expenses, and if youre thinking of leaving your car at the airport the advice is to make sure you plan ahead. Consumer group which says you could end up paying up to four times more than those who pre booked. Manchester airport had the biggest price difference. A Parking Space that would usually cost £95 per week, could cost you more than £400 if you use it without booking. Research from some of the uks busiest airports revealed Holiday Makers could save £150 on average if they booked a spot. We spoke to some people in manchester about their experiences. When we go on holiday, we might go on a ten day holiday. But youve got to sum up the cost of the holiday and then add on Parking Charges as well. So actually getting a lift in, its a lot cheaper than if we were to pay to park. Ours cost us 200 odd pound and weve got the hotel and parking with that as well. So i think thats a reasonable price for the night and then seven days parking. But i wont payjust £150 just for parking, its fairly on the steep i side you know what i mean. So yeah, i think it is expensive when you put on everything on top of it. Whenever ive been away, which is fairly often, i fly out of bristol and i get family to take me because of the cost of parking. Its much easierjust getting the local taxi firm to bring you, drop you off and the convenience outweighs the cost, i think. Were joined now by harry kind from Consumer Group which. Morning, harry. A lot of people will watch that and go, be more organised. Watch that and go, be more organised watch that and go, be more oruanised. ,. � , organised.

If your willingness to pay is higher, they want to charge you more and who is more willing to pay them people who have turned up last minute and are desperate to put their car somewhere and they are willing to pay up to £583, we have heard.

If you are i looking for flights, we are now in a position of thinking, what is the ticket price of an airline ticket, but what will i pay in parking or transport or paying at the airport at an Airport Hotel . That might outweigh the cost of the ticket in the first place, which would be the most expensive thing. Some airports now make 25 of all of their profit outside of flying planes, from parking. Its a huge moneyspinner. As i understand it, the airports are in the business of dissuading people from taking their cars to the airport. They would be saying, get a train. I know its, different airports there are problems of that, but in essence they are saying, go by another means then your car and this would fit in with that as a deterrent. I this would fit in with that as a deterrent this would fit in with that as a deterrent. , ,. ,. , deterrent. I suppose they are trying to extract as deterrent.

I suppose they are trying to extract as much as possible from people whether that is through parking or drop off fees which we have seen rocket. You really do have to do a lot of thinking ahead. Public transport is going to be the best option for so many people. And sometimes you have got to use a creative combination of parking and transport. For example, luton airport, if you go to the parkway train station, that has very tree cheap secure parking, you can hop on a four minute shuttle which gets you right into the middle of the airport. 50 right into the middle of the airort.

Lets tell you what is happening where you are watching breakfast this morning. Chaos hello, good morning from bbc london. Im victoria hollins. The mayor of london has announced an expansion of his Scrappage Scheme to help owners of Non Compliant Ulez vehicles. Grants of up to £2,000 will now be available to drivers with a non compliant cars, the Scrappage Payment for vans will increase to £7,000 and Additional Support will also be available to charities. City hall has also confirmed the expansion of ulez to outer london will go ahead on august 29th, as planned. There will be no Rail Services from london to brightons pride event this weekend. Govia thameslink say the difficult decision is necessary due to Staff Shortages and safety concerns. Brighton station will be closed and the Gatwick Express will not run. Brighton and hove council has said it is extremely disapppointed at the decision. It treats some of the most critically injured patients in the capital but londons air ambulance is a charity, which needs to raise £15 million by next autumn to replace its helicopter fleet. One person whose life was saved by the service is James Basco Smith who was stabbed on the street and received Open Heart Surgery at the roadside. We had to give him all his blood back. So a big transfusion very quickly. Open up his chest. And because the hearts not beating, we actually had to beat it ourselves by squeezing it. You actually had your hands on his heart, basically. Yeah. Holding the heart in your two hands and squeezing it so that you can pump blood and oxygen around to all the organs of the body. Thank you for saving me and not giving up on me. And well have a special programme on the work of londons air ambulance live from the helipad at 6. 30pm tonight here on bbc1. Lets take a look at the tubes now. All lines are running fine apart from the planned part closure of a section of the Bakerloo Line and london overground. Now on to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. Hello there. Good morning. If youre after something that looks a bit more like summer weather wise, we may be in for some luck by the time it gets to the end of the new working week. So keep an eye on the forecast. But until then, its still very unsettled. It will be wet and windy at times and there are some more showers in the forecast for today. Theyll be mostly out towards Eastern Areas of the capital where its also going to be more cloudy, too. We could see some lines of showers formed. So some places just seeing shower after shower. But the further west you are, the more likely you are to stay largely dry throughout the day. I really wouldnt rule out the odd shower or two though even here. And therell be a bit more in the way of sunshine as well. Top temperatures of around 18 to 21 Degrees Celsius and cooler air moving down on that still northwesterly wind. And then as we head through this evening and overnight, well, well start to see things cloud over from the west. It is set to turn wet and windy into the start of the day tomorrow. So some heavy downpours of rain on and off through the day on saturday. Its going to be feeling cool and therell be some strong, gusty winds, too, with a deep area of low pressure slowly moving eastwards. Sunday is drier and brighter. Thats it. Dont forget you can keep up to date by downloading the bbc news app. Well be back in half an hour. By downloading the bbc news app. See you then. By downloading the bbc news app. Bye.

As weve been hearing this morning, the mayor of london sadiq khan has announced that hes expanding a scrapage scheme to help all residents in the city switch to less polluting cars. Its part of londons Ultra Low Emission Zone, which was introduced in 2019. It was expanded in 2021 and now there are plans to expand again, to include 5 million more people from the end of august. Were joined now by conservative councillor matt furniss from Surrey County council. Good morning. You are one of the councils who took the mayor to the high court. Why did you do that . Hate high court. Why did you do that . , didnt want to but it was to get the mayor of london and transport for london to engage with us about the mitigation from the expansion for residents in surrey.

With the withdrawal of the day travel card, it makes it extremely difficult for residents to be able to travel in and out of london at fair price. L and out of london at fair price. I am sorry, it does benefit you if they will receive a grant of up to £2000 to have a less polluting vehicle. How many cars are actually travelling into london . Br; vehicle.

By our estimates it is between 50000 and 70,000 people every year that are travelling in and out of london. If you talk to heathrow, for example, they have 10,000 employees that do not have compliant cars. We are still pushing and urging the mayor of london and transport for london to extend the car Scrappage Scheme to extend the car Scrappage Scheme to salary residents and the remaining counties surrounding london. Actually, it puts more funding infull london. Actually, it puts more funding in full sustainable transport, including putting on bus routes so people dont need to actually take their car into london. Because you are one of the five councils that took the mayor to the high court, you are the one which isnt covered. Surrey isnt covered tjy isnt covered. Surrey isnt covered by the Scrappage Scheme. Correct. If you are like the other four, would you are like the other four, would you think differently now . Would there be less of an argument saying you can all share .

We really need to have that mitigation so that people arent being impacted for going about their daily lives. You dont travel by artificial local authority boundaries. We really are still urging tfl and the mayor of london to extend that car Scrappage Scheme outside of london for those that are impacted, provide the exemption for key workers and provide more and better bus routes between surrey and london. Hf you between surrey and london. If you came under between surrey and london. If you came under the between surrey and london. If you came under the scrappage between surrey and london. If you came under the Scrappage Scheme, he would then be more satisfied with the expansion of ulez. £31 would then be more satisfied with the expansion of ulez. Would then be more satisfied with the expansion of ulez. Our plan has never been the expansion of ulez. Our plan has never been for the expansion of ulez. Our plan has never been for the the expansion of ulez. Our plan has never been for the scrappage the expansion of ulez. Our plan has never been for the scrappage of never been for the scrappage of ulez. Everyone should benefit. We had financial and social concerns for residents. It is a tax on people who do not live in london. That has been a point all along. If the mayor of london and tfl were prepared to negotiate and provide mitigation we would never have had tojoin negotiate and provide mitigation we would never have had to join that legal action. Would never have had to oin that legal mini would never have had to oin that legal action. Thank you very much for our legal action. Thank you very much for your time legal action. Thank you very much for your time with legal action. Thank you very much for your time with us. Lets hear now from Leonie Cooper whos a labour member of the London Assembly and has been working closely with the mayor of london on the ulez scheme. Good morning to you. Thank you for your time. Good morning to you. Thank you for yourtime. I hope good morning to you. Thank you for your time. I hope you can hear whats being said a moment ago. He has a point. He has residence he represents work within the area but they do not benefit from the scheme.

I do not think it would be fair on londoners to expect london to pick up the tab for People Living in surrey. They dont contribute anything in terms of paying tax in london. All of the scrappage that has been funded is being funded by the mayor. What would have been a lot better than wasting £i would have been a lot better than wasting £1 million per Surrey County council and the other councils on trying to take the matter to court, it would have been to approach the government and ask for what would make a lot more sense, and national Scrappage Scheme, and that can then include surrey. It is just not fair. I appreciate what you are saying. You say there is no benefit to people in london. If you are a plumber, who happens to live in surrey, just outside grand all your work is within the ulez zone, there is a clear benefit because they are doing work in our area.

You have 2000 now for everyone, people can get a grant of £2000 to change their cars. You will know the figures inside out. It is worth saying that autotrader has done the maths on this and they are saying the average cost of a ulez compliant vehicle, there is £15,000, 19,991 for the petrol and diesel prices respectively. That is a lot of money will stop frankly £2000 doesnt go very far towards that. That will stop frankly £2000 doesnt go very far towards that. Very far towards that.

A petrol vehicle that is ulez compliant is from the 2008 registration going forward. That is a car that is more than ten years old. I am pretty much sure that the figures from autotrader are too high. You can buy cars for less than £19,000 that are ten years old. Cars for less than £19,000 that are ten years old cars for less than £19,000 that are ten years old. They are quoting the avera. E ten years old. They are quoting the average cost ten years old.

We have had the alberta government has withdrawn its funding for the bed. This shows what happened about a month ago. Victoria in australia were further down the road, they were due to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games. They have pulled out completely saying they could not afford it any more. They were already building stadiums and will continue. That they were already building stadiums and will continue. And will continue. That is the whole debate. If and will continue.

Against events that are. At the moment though, the whole future of the games, and their viability is being questioned as the search for a city or region, to host the games in 3 years time, intensifies. What a contrast to a year ago, when the games seemed in good health, in birmingham, which managed to stage a successful games, its claimed more money was generated for the economy from it. But remember birmingham had stepped in for durban who had themselves pulled out as for what next, london have expressed an interest but would need government support, while scotlands First Minister, has said it could condider playing at least a part. There was a dramatic finale to the opening day with will tidball claiming a surprise gold for Great Britain in the mens scratch race. The 23 year old from devon timed the 60 lap race to perfection taking the lead on the final corner and crossing the line to claim the first senior title of his career. Hes the first briton to win this event since ben swift in melbourne 11 years ago. I dont think its sunk in yet. Like not long ago, i was watching chris and, you know, bradley and all that do this. So to come here and, you know, become world champion. First time of asking. Things dreams are made of. And, you know, iworked bloody. I worked hard for this. Team gb have won their first gold medal at the cycling World Championships in glasgow. It came in the womens 1km time trial for visually impaired Athletes Sophie Unwin and Pilotjenny Holl were more than a second down on the leading australian pair with a lap to go, but fought back to win byjust six hundredths of a second. Jordan elizabeth and amy cole finished third to claim bronze for Great Britain. And there could be more gold for unwin and holl, who are aiming to retain their pursuit title in todays final. Earlier, there was painful disappointment for Great Britains Mens Team Pursuit team as Charlie Tanfield slipped coming out of the final corner of qualifying. Because they were already down to three riders they couldnt set a time ending their hopes of defending their title. Tanfield was taken to hospital, he didnt break any bones, but will go through a concussion protocol and wont ride again at the championships. We wish him a speedy recovery. Next to the womens world cup, where germany are trying to work out, how theyve gone out, and where england are getting ready for mondays, knock out stage match against nigeria. And theres good news from the england camp, as Katie Gornall reports. England have trained today here in the sunshine on the Central Coast. And the good news from the camp is that keira walsh was at the Central Coast stadium today. She wasnt training with the rest of the 22 out on the pitch, she was following a separate programme in the gym, were told. And that has to be a good sign, as she continues her recovery from that knee injury that she picked up against denmark. We dont know if shes going to play any part in the game against nigeria. Youd have to say that would be very, very unlikely. But we dont get a chance to chat to serena or the players today to get an update on that. It would also be good to have asked them about that seismic result for germany in the world cup. The two times champions going out of the tournament at the group stages for the first time in a result that will have to go down as the biggest upset in the history of the tournament. And theyre not the only big team to have gone out at this stage. Brazil are out as well. Canada, the olympic champions, theyre going home early. And what this means, for england potentially, is that it opens up that side of the draw for them because they were on course to meet germany in either the quarterfinals or the semi finals if they got that far. And like it or not, for Sarina Wiegman and her players, this is now going to increase the expectations around this england team that they can go all the way in this tournament. Of course, for the england camp, they are very much focused on the next game. Theyre taking it one game at a time. They wont want to look past nigeria, who are the underdogs in this scenario against england. Theyre ranked 40th in the world. Theyve exceeded expectations to get here. Theyve done incredibly well in their group. England wont take them lightly. Theres been so many shocks and upsets in this tournament so far. England will be determined to avoid another one in brisbane on monday. The new football season is gathering steam. The championship starts tonight. The arsenal goalkeeper says he will no longer stay quiet on homophobic comments, in dressing rooms perhaps or on social media. Ramsdale says he wants the bill to be welcoming for everybody so his brother, who is gay, can attend matches without fears of abuse. Over the years he says he has bitten his tongue when his homophobic comments made and that ends today. Arsenal play Manchester City on sunday. Theres been another british medal at the world para swimming championships in manchester. Maisie summers newton took silver in the s6 400 metre freestyle with a personal best time. Its her second medal of the week. See you later. I am mindful. Those crashes in the velodrome, Charlie Tanfield is the guy, they are as hard as nails. There are protocols around concussion. They are ripped to shreds, arent they . They are tough. We have both been on a velodrome, havent we . The speed coming down, let alone the speeds they are going, immense.

That was the scene in devon. As we go through the day we are looking at sunny spells and showers. Mostly in the east where they could be heavy and thundery. At the show as a wedding this morning across parts of the pennines and eastern england. Look at the brighter colours, the greens. The driest of the weather towards northern and Western Areas with lengthy spells of sunshine and temperatures today getting up into the mid to high teens, perhaps low 20s across southern areas of england. As we go through tonight, it is this area of low pressure that will gradually move its way in from the west met and in quite windy as we go into saturday morning. This area of brain, look at the bright colours. Heavy rain moving into parts of Northern Ireland and wales. There wind is picking up as well. There wind is picking up as well. The rain gradually moves its way east as the day goes on. Turning a little bit drier and brighter towards Western Areas. Towards much of northern england, scotland and Northern Ireland, the worst of the rain moves south and east. Still the risk of a few showers to start the day on saturday and disappointingly cool to start the year. Temperatures only 14 in newcastle, 15 in aberdeen, 17 in london. But as we go into sunday, perhaps a better day of the weekend, there will be a few showers around. When weather system will move east and a ridge of High Pressure. This is what we will want to see in summer for the more settled weather, the drier weather. Into next week more of a taste of summer. We will see the warm air coming in from the sapa temperatures getting up to the mid to high 20s as we go into next week. Something more like what we would like to see in august. Air temperatures are going to rise. As we will see in a moment, Ocean Temperatures have been a real concern this year. El nino, pacific Ocean Temperatures rising, marine heatwaves have been developing quite widely across the uk which i think we will hear about more.

I know you are fascinated by this stuff as well. Lets go to plymouth because that is where justin has wherejustin has this morning. It is so interesting. The phrase is the sea Surface Temperature. You could dip your hand in behind you and do an instant test. It is across the globe, isnt it . An instant test. It is across the globe, isnt it . This is the global sea surface globe, isnt it . This is the global sea Surface Temperature. Globe, isnt it . This is the global sea Surface Temperature. Not i globe, isnt it . This is the global. Sea Surface Temperature. Notjust putting in your hand but it is a deeper surface measurement than that. Lots of measurements are taken all over the globe. It doesnt include the polls as well. The equipment is not available to do that comprehensively. This is the main body of water between the north and south pole. This is a really significant result. It is the highest temperature ever recorded. That is significantly higher than the average temperatures he would expect at this time of year. Because the temperatures are crucial is for so many things, obviously life but the current that drives the much of our weather, particularly here in the uk, it is important we understand what impact this record will have. That is what i have been learning about here in plymouth. Theyve been taking measurements of Ocean Temperatures here in plymouth for more than a century. And for the last 50 or so years, theyve showed a slow but steady increase, up about a third of a degree a decade. Have we got a reading for today yet, do you know . I heard them Say Something around 18 or 19, which is four Degrees Higher than it should be. Its been a similar pattern globally. Rising Sea Temperatures and increasing numbers of marine heatwaves. And it has just reached a new peak, 20. 96 Degrees Celsius, the highest Global Average Sea Temperature ever recorded. The worlds warming waters are a dangerous trend, say experts. Peoples perspective is that the ocean is so big, so vast, that it can buffer anything that humanity can throw at it. And the reality is thats not the case. Everything has its niche within the ocean, and its incredibly easy to to break that niche and influence it and upset it. Take plankton. These tiny plants and animals are crucial to life on the planet. Theyre the basis of the entire Marine Food Chain and produce half the oxygen in our atmosphere. So every other breath you take. And they are sensitive to heat. Many species have been migrating north as the worlds oceans warm. Personally, im really concerned. The heatwaves that were experiencing on land and the marine heatwaves that were seeing are happening in unusual locations where we havent expected them. But there is hope. Scientists are learning more about how the Ocean Ecosystems function every day. We have the Renewable Technologies that can tackle Climate Change by reducing our use of fossil fuels. We just need to make the change quickly.

Another blow to the future of the Commonwealth Games as alberta in canada says it cannot afford to bid for 2030. And despite the success of the birmingham games, it follows victorias withdrawal to be host in 2026. Hello from edinburgh, and the extraordinary lucky pigeons. You will see acts like this across the city for the next three weeks. It is wonderful, magical, mind blowing, and of course, it edinburgh. The weekend is and of course, it edinburgh. The weekend is nearly upon us. This might be a familiar story, wet and windy on saturday, more promising news for next week. All of the details very shortly. Its friday 4th august. Our main story. Donald trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 us election. The former president faces three separate criminal trials in the coming months but remains the frontrunner for the republican president ial nomination for next years election. Donald trump has described his latest Court Appearance as a very sad day for america. Our North America correspondent nomia iqbal has the report. It was the same atmosphere but a different venue. Those who Love And Hate donald trump turned up outside the courthouse, ready for his arrival. Once donald trump lived as president in this city. But he returned as a criminal defendant. He faces four charges and is accused of orchestrating an astonishingly Broad Campaign to overturn the Election Results of 2020. Its alleged he used unlawful methods to try and get joe bidens victory blocked. Inside court, mr trumps lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf.

This is the persecution of the person thats leading by very, very substantial numbers in the republican primary and leading biden by a lot. So if you cant beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. Its easy to almost become immune to Donald Trumps legal problems. But this case is bigger than all the other indictments, and that is because ultimately its about americas democracy and how the former president stands accused of trying to overthrow it. January 6th left a painful and indelible mark on the uss image here and worldwide. Five people died and more than 1,000 were arrested. Donald trump isnt charged with inciting the violence, but accused of exploiting it. For his supporters and Many Republican voters, every indictment turns him into a bigger hero. Its not going to change my vote, and i think its actually going to make a lot of the American People understand exactly what weve been saying with regard to the witch hunt, with regard to the Political Division in this country. I think its going to earn him votes more than anything. Thats how much i like donald trump. Hes a mans man. And the problem is today, men in america dont know what a mans man is any more. Donald trump could be facing a fourth indictment over Election Tampering and its likely to propel him closer to clinching the republican partys nomination, allowing him to run again for the presidency. Nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. Lets get more now on about air quality in london and cars and how you work this through. The big debate that surrounds the so called ulez scheme. A car Scrappage Scheme has been extended to more drivers ahead of the expansion the Ultra Low Emission Zone in london. The mayor of london sadiq khan has announced all londoners with a noncompliant vehicle can now access up to £2,000 to replace their vehicle with a less polluting one. Our reporter, harry farley has more. The political storm around sadiq khans expansion of the area covered by londons Ultra Low Emission Zone has been building. Drivers of cars that produce too much pollution must pay £12. 50 a day to drive in the zone. The Conservative Party candidate, 13,965. An unexpected victory for the conservatives in the uxbridge and South Ruislip by election last month, was put down to the labour mayors scheme. Sadiq khan has lost labour this election and we know that it was his damaging and costly ulez policy that lost them this election. Sadiq khan won a legal battle at the high court so his plan to expand the scheme to outer london can go ahead later this month. He says it is vital for Peoples Health to clean up londons air. But today the mayor has announced an increase in compensation for those forced to scrap their vehicles. Previously, only those on benefits were eligible. Now every londoner with a noncompliant car can claim up to £2,000 to upgrade. The payment for Small Businesses to scrap vans has risen from £5,000 to £7,000, and charities can get £9,000 to scrap minibuses that dont meet emissions thresholds. Other cities like bristol and birmingham have already implemented low emission zones. The total cost of londons Scrappage Fund will now be £160 million. But there are questions over whether this will be enough to cater for the Hundreds And Thousands of noncompliant cars plus vans in outer london. Harry farley, bbc news.

Thousands ofjobs are at risk after the budget homeware chain, wilko, announced that it is on the brink of collapse. Hannah has the details. It looks like one of the uks Biggest Discount Retail Chains could be heading towards administration. Wilko is a family owned business which employs 12,000 people and has and its a particularly worrying time for the 12,000 people it employs in around 400 Stores Across britain. Wilko hasnt confirmed whether theirjobs are likely to be affected. Weve known for months that the company has been in trouble theyve been looking for a buyer. But that hasnt been successful and now wilkos boss says theyve been forced to file whats called a notice of intent. Thats an official process and it effectively gives wilko ten days to find the money it needs. Now wilko faces competition from brands such as home bargains, b m and the range. They of course tend to be more on retail parks, with wilko more of a high street retailer. We know it is a tough time for the high street in general as people cut back their spending. The weather isnt helping either, the number of people heading out to the shops fell for the firstjuly in 14 years as the uk grappled with one of the wettest months on record. Well keep you posted as we find out wilkos fate in the next week or so. These are twin sisters from stockport, thought to be the oldest in the country. They have just celebrated their 104th birthday.

A bit of sunshine this morning, some cloud as well, some sunny spells developing but not looking too great for the weekend if you have plans. A cool weekend to come but there are signs of some summer weather to come next week. A bit of sunshine first thing this morning, as we go through today we will see a mixture of sunny spells, a few showers, most across Eastern Areas, they could be heavy or thundery. Eastern areas, they could be heavy orthundery. One Eastern Areas, they could be heavy or thundery. One or two showers already towards the pennines and Eastern Areas, into the afternoon the brighter colours, the greens, thatis the brighter colours, the greens, that is indicative of some thunderstorms developing later on. North and west it is looking largely dry, lengthy spells of sunshine and maximum temperatures today getting up maximum temperatures today getting up into the high teens to low 20s across southern areas of england. As we go through tonight, this area of low pressure moving its way in so another weekend, another weekend of wet and windy weather. The isobars close together, the winds developing through the night. Look at the rain in the early part of saturday morning, many of us waiting waking up to a wet start. Gusts up to 60 miles an hour across wales and South West England. That will gradually move east through the day. That will be replaced by some showers. Northern england, scotland and Northern Ireland escaping the worst of the rain. Looking drier and brighter, sunny spells but the risk of some showers as we go through the day. Disappointingly cool, temperatures 14, 15 celsius. 17 or 18 degrees further south. Into next week, there is a sign of something drier and brighter. Week, there is a sign of something drierand brighter. High week, there is a sign of something drier and brighter. High pressure will start to develop. One weather system moves east earlier on, then an area of High Pressure develops and that will bring more settled summer weather with higher temperatures.

Witness statement in court, her partner calvin said, how can ebb sit here and put into words the impacts, the pain, the chaos, the impacts, the pain, the chaos, the high heartbreak. Described as a beautiful person with the heart of an angel, frankie was a former soap actress who starred in hollyoaks in the early 2000. But with her life tragically cut short, what this family have lost cannot be replaced. Were joined now by frankies boyfriend Calvin Buckley, his solicitor polly herbert, and by detective chief superintendent andy cox from the metropolitan police. Good morning to you all. Calvin, i think the first thing we should say this morning is, you have had a terrible loss, and everyone is mindful of that, as you speak to us today. Its very recent. But you are speaking for a reason, because you want to change peoples attitudes, and that is why you are talking about such a sensitive and difficult thing.

On the day, we had gone to an arcade with happened. On the day, we had gone to an arcade with my happened. On the day, we had gone to an arcade with my brother happened. On the day, we had gone to an arcade with my brother for happened. On the day, we had gone to an arcade with my brother for his i an arcade with my brother for his birthday. Frankies eldest son came with us, frankie stayed with her youngest son and her nephew. We were actually going out for a celebration that day, thats the reason frankie was on the road. Frankie came to pick her eldest son up from the arcade and then on the way home, he had a football match, that she was picking him up from, thats how it happened. I saw frankie 20 minutes, 30 minutes before the incident, said goodbye, said i love her, which im really happy that i managed to do that, and did get a proper goodbye. And then within 20 minutes, 30 minutes, i got a phone call saying that she had been involved in a collision and she was unconscious and it was on the motorway. And my first thought was the baby, because she was pregnant. Ijust kept thinking, she lost the baby. And i just wanted to get to the crash scene. I made my way to the crash scene, which was quite difficult because the motorway was starting to back up. I did manage to get there. And then when i got there, i can only describe it as like a horror movie. There were loads of Emergency Services around, the first person i saw was frankies eldest son, he was on the floor unconscious. He had a medical team around him. Then i saw frankie, she had a medical team around her, and then i saw my nephew. And when i was looking at the car, i couldnt believe the children even got out of it, the back of the car was totally crushed. We have all said it was a miracle that they actually came out, especially my younger son who came out with young minor injuries. And from that point, it was just, i was stood there in the chaos, really, with my youngest son, while they treated frankie on the roadside, just so they could actually get her to the hospital. It was difficult because nobody really knew how serious it was. And ill be honest, at that point, i didnt think it would be that serious because her injuries didnt look that bad. There was blood coming from her head and staff but it didnt look life threatening to me. It was only when we got to the hospital, as soon as we got there, frankies dad was there as well and he said that they had to go straight to theatre to operate. She had a serious brain injury. And basically she didnt think they had any capacity. So from that first moment, they said, we dont think she is going to pull through. They said she could pass in the next two minutes, five minutes. They said once she comes out of theatre, we will put her in Critical Care and you you can spend time with her which we did. And then she was in Critical Care for two days, me and her dad stayed over the weekend and then the early hours of the sunday surrey, monday morning, she passed.

Its not from me in the family, its notjust about giving him a tough sentence, because we want to punish him, and we want revenge for what happened, its like, if people arent getting tough sentences for this, theyre going to keep doing it. Itsjust sentences for this, theyre going to keep doing it. Its just insulting to the family. To us, the judge keep doing it. Its just insulting to the family.

But they might be driving and doing something at a lower level, putting people at risk. Literally im sure people at risk.

And now people are more aware of what is going on around them. Because thats the other side of it.

The mayor has announced an expansion of the Scrappage Scheme to help owners of vehicles that dont comply with the Ultra Low Emission Zone. Grants of up to £2,000 will now be available for london car drivers, or £7,000 for vans. Last week, five councils surrounding london tried to block ulez expansion in court and failed. They included Surrey Council which isnt covered by the Scrappage Scheme. London cannot view itself as claylike, and ireland. The borders are fluid.

He died in hospital on tuesday. Police are appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time to contact them. There will be no Rail Services from london to brightons pride event this weekend. Govia thameslink say the difficult decision is necessary due to Staff Shortages and safety concerns. Brighton station will be closed and the Gatwick Express will not run. Brighton and hove council has said it is extremely disapppointed at the decision. Londons air ambulance is a charity which needs to raise £15 million by next autumn to replace its helicopter fleet. A reminder well have a special programme on the work of londons air ambulance live from the helipad at 6. 30pm tonight here on bbc1. Lets take a look at the tubes now. All lines are running fine apart from the planned part closure of a section of the Bakerloo Line and london overground. Now on to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. Hello there. Good morning. If youre after something that looks a bit more like summer weather wise, we may be in for some luck by the time it gets to the end of the new working week. So keep an eye on the forecast. But until then, its still very unsettled. It will be wet and windy at times and there are some more showers in the forecast for today. Theyll be mostly out towards Eastern Areas of the capital where its also going to be more cloudy, too. We could see some lines of showers form. So some places just seeing shower after shower. But the further west you are, the more likely you are to stay largely dry throughout the day. I really wouldnt rule out the odd shower or two though even here. And therell be a bit more in the way of sunshine as well. Top temperatures of around 18 to 21 Degrees Celsius and cooler air moving down on that still northwesterly wind. And then as we head through this evening and overnight, well, well start to see things cloud over from the west. It is set to turn wet and windy into the start of the day tomorrow. So some heavy downpours of rain on and off through the day on saturday. Its going to be feeling cool and therell be some strong, gusty winds, too, with a deep area of low pressure slowly moving eastwards. Sunday is drier and brighter. Thats it. Well be back in half an hour. See you then. Hello. This is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. An issue we have spoken about many times sewage in our seas and rivers. All the heavy rain weve been having means there is an increased risk of sewage and bacteria washing into areas where people paddle or swim. The Environment Agency has issued 52 pollution alerts at beaches and bathing spots across england. Paul murphy has been to see the effects along the east coast. I sit a day out on the beach at hornsea. For the tivoli family, they are unaware of the ongoing pollution risk alerts for the east coast. Horanseas sewage overflow pipe discharged the night before their visit, a consequence of extremely heavy rainfall. So ive just told you that there was a sewage alert for hornsea overnight from the discharge pipe here. You didnt know that . No, i didnt know. How did you feel about that . Well, really, really upset, actually. So were obviously going to have to not play in the water now. So its extremely worrying. I spent last weekend taking water samples from east yorkshires beaches. Weve just received those results back. They suggest that at the time of sampling, these places were all safe to swim in. But recent heavy downpours have put huge pressure on the sewage system and it needs an outlet. This was filmed at bridlington, north beach, as the area was placed under a pollution risk alert and down the coast at cleethorpes. These alerts are having a broader impact. Weve been doing standup paddleboarding on beach schools on the beach here at cleethorpes for eight years. And in the last 18 months since we lost the blue flag, the sewage alerts here and the pollution is just basically stopped us operating safely for children and people. A blue flag denoting excellent Water Quality proudly flies over hornsea beach. But some here need more than a flag to convince them the water is clean. When we come down to the beach with the dogs, we look at the foam. And if it looks really brown, we dont go in the water. And if its clear, we do. In bridlington, red flags have been popping up advising people not to swim. Things can get confusing, though, because even though there was a sewage discharge alert from a pipe a couple of hundred yards away here in hornsea at a quarter to seven last night, there were no warning signs advising people not to swim. Far from it, there are actually flags defining the swimming area here on the beach. Go figure. All Water Companies are legally permitted to discharge storm sewage into the sea and say that if they didnt do it, sewage would back up through the system and inundate homes and businesses. Paul murphy, bbc news hornsea. We are kind of going to focus in on weathers at the moment. All the waterways. Professorjamie woodward is from the university of manchester. The picture people can see behind us here, just explain to us. This is one of your images. Where was it . What was going on . This was taken on the river as well. It was at bolton Water Treatment works. You can see thousands and thousands of sewage marinated wet wipes which had been discharged. People can see this 0k at home. You start to look closely and you can see what you talk about. Youd think it is the bark of the tree but all of it is stripped together and just hanging. The of it is stripped together and ust han.

Is there a model of a country or a place that is getting it right . We are watching what is happening in the uk. We care about what is happening here. Is everywhere having the same issues . There are problems in lots of countries. In england in particular there is public outrage because people are making huge profits on the back of environmental degradation. Lets look at france, for example. There are hundreds and hundreds of river sites by the Water Quality is good enough for bathing. In england at the moment we have about two. For the olympics in paris they are cleaning up the river seine. There are lots of good examples we can look out for good practice. The site at bolton, the outrage, untreated sewage was dumped at 1845 hours last year. Over the year that is five hours per day. It has become routine on rivers across england.

In bolton specifically, action is being taken with a £100 million project to improve quality of treated water leaving the site and reducing overflow operations. Also accelerated funding to target further improvements on the river irwell. When do we see improvements . All new investment is welcome. What is encouraging in a sense is campaigning is working.

Good they are in panic mode and doing something. Obviously. The financial structures of the Water Company is quite opaque. What we see, that image, once you lift the bonnet on the Water Companies and look underneath, and environmental records are appalling. It is really important we turn things around. Very interesting hearing that. Thank you very much. We are going to the weather now. All of these things are timed in tidying. We talk about rainfall and all of that is linked. All of that is linked.

A fairly decent start to the day for many of us. This is the morning in falkirk. Through the day there will be sunny spells and scattered showers. Most of the shallows will be across Eastern Areas of the uk. They could be heavy, perhaps the injury as well. A few showers around the pennines and Eastern Areas of england. Look at the brighter colours, the greens. That is indicative of the heavier showers. Maybe thunderstorms as well. Further north and west dry and bright with lengthy spells of sunshine a maximum temperature is getting into the high teens but low 20s. As we go into tomorrow, we have this area of low pressure. Another one moving in for the weekend. It will bring strong winds and heavy rain. The heavy rain will very quickly moving tonight across Northern Ireland, pushing its way east. Look at the brighter colours. The heavy rain as it moves in. The winds are strengthening as well, especially around the coasts of wales, south west coast of england, gas up to 60 miles an hour. The rain will move towards the south east. Further north it should be largely dry, escaping the worst of the rain. Certainly the case in scotland and Northern Ireland. There will be sunny spells here. One or two showers which could be on the heavy side. It will be disappointingly cold on saturday. Maximum temperature is 14 in newcastle, 15 in aberdeen. Further south, 17, 18. Sunday is looking a bit south, 17, 18. Sunday is looking a bhdw south, 17, 18. Sunday is looking a bit dry up with a few showers around. Well go into next week with an area of low pressure moving through. Then next week that late next week, the sea High Pressure building on from the south. With that we start to see warmer air pushing in as well. Temperatures will be back up to the low to mid 20s. By the end of the week it could be up to the high 20s in southern areas. After a long time there is a taste of samsara along the way. Some things are weather will not affect the middle. Are you referring to edinburgh. Edinburgh fringes are now. We will be going in a few minutes. Getting a little flavour of some of the axe withjohn maguire. Wild and wacky. A little dangerous sometimes, mike. You are going to start with talking about the Commonwealth Games. A kind of reality check. Everyone with their household budgets, what can we afford, what can we not afford . Money is a huge thing when it is not a totally global event. It is getting more worrying. Alberta in canada, due to bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, the government now says, we cannot. Theyre not going to bed. We cannot do the biddle complete the bid. This follows victoria a few weeks ago, they were further down the road, already part of the process hosting the games. They were saying we cannot do this any more even though they started building some stadiums. The search for a city or region willing to step in and rescue the games. In three or seven years time, this has intensified. Concern over the future and its viability. In to birmingham which showed it can be done. It managed to stage a successful games, generating more for the economy than the cost of putting it on. Birmingham stepped in for durbin who pulled out as hosts in 2017. The london mayor has expressed an interest. Scotlands First Minister has said it could consider playing at least a birmingham trying to make games is permanent home. A lot of debate going on about that. There was a dramatic finale to the opening day with will tidball claiming a surprise gold for Great Britain in the mens scratch race. The 23 year old from devon timed the 60 lap race to perfection taking the lead on the final corner and crossing the line to claim the first senior title of his career. Hes the first briton to win this event since ben swift in melbourne 11 years ago. I dont think its sunk in yet. Like, not long ago, i was watching chris and, you know, bradley and all that do this. So to come here and, you know, become world champion. First time of asking. Things dreams are made of. And, you know, iworked bloody. I worked hard for this. Team gb have won their first gold medal at the cycling World Championships in glasgow. It came in the womens1km time trial for visually impaired Athletes Sophie Unwin and Pilotjenny Holl were more than a second down on the leading australian pair with a lap to go, but fought back to win byjust six hundredths of a second. Jordan elizabeth and amy cole finished third to claim bronze for Great Britain. And there could be more gold for unwin and holl, who are aiming to retain their pursuit title in todays final. And jody cundy proved age is no barrier to being the fastest in the world. The 44 year old smashed the world record in the flying 200m time trial, which is part of the multi race c4 omnium event.

They feel this is their chance to go potentially a step further. What a game that will be tomorrow. All the build up on breakfast tomorrow. Just after breakfast finishes, tomorrow at ten oclock, the match will be live. See you later. We are now going to go to edinburgh. Performers on every street corner, in venues and theatres. You turn a corner and there is another sight of somebody doing something. Often wild and wacky stuff going on. John maguire is in edinburgh. We are hoping to talk to him shortly. He has been looking around checking out the talent. If all the world is a stage, then edinburgh right now is the centre of the universe. Some have even come from a galaxy far, far away. The International Festival and the fringe will see theatres, concert halls, pubs, clubs and streets rammed with performers. The covid years took their toll, so this summer feels like a return to normal. But thats not a word frequently used around here. Certainly, last year still felt that there was a lot of tension in the air from the artist community, nervous about making the investments come back, from audiences, knowing that theres a Cost Of Living crisis approaching. But this year just feels. It feels totally different. It feels like theres a positivity. Theres a sense that a Global Pandemic is behind us and that were now in some ways emerging to a more kind of happy and joyful place. So it feels totally different this year. There are 3,500 shows to see and lots of people urging you to see them. Whats this . That is alba, and its an original scottish play about the 2014 scottish independence, however, from a non biased view. Yes. So from comedy to tragedy and everything in between. Politics, philosophy, theology, poetry, musicals, everything is here in edinburgh. If its a Human Emotion and it can be put on a stage, youll be able to see it at the festival over the next days and weeks. In fact, something for everyone. Adults, kids, adults who want to be kids. So tell us what this is all about. So big kid kindergarten is an adult Play Experience for grownups. Maybe they want to use crayons or play doh or make new friends without the pleasantries and small talk of adult life. You have to be careful here, though. Bump into a star, like friend of The Show Viggo Venn and next thing you know, youre part of the act. So the audience can see you. Yeah. Feel overdressed. John from the bbc.

Well, i mean, the first year i was here, we played a show in front of a family of four and then two of them left. So now its sold out. So its a different experience this year. I would say break a leg, but what have you done to yourself . Injured your foot. I kicked my foot into the stage as a joke. And now its broken. It really is broken. Yeah. Ouch. I got a laugh so its a joke that keeps on giving. My pain is your pleasure. This place will make you think, sing, cry. Useless leg. But most of all it will make you smile. We are about to make you cast. If you are drinking a cup of tea or eating cornflakes, put them down for a second. The lucky pigeons have been with us all morning. This is the rebel circus.
