We will get the latest on wimbledon a little later throughout the morning. How will the weather be . Helen has got the details. A little more clout in the south. It looks at a decent day. I will have all the weekend detailfor you if you can join me in around 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. Low Water Pressure and insufficient equipment are among a set of reported failings the bbc has uncovered which may have hampered firefighters efforts to tackle the Grenfell Tower blaze. A Newsnight Investigation has found London Fire Brigade has now changed its procedures after a tall ladder did not arrive on site for more than half an hour. John sweeney reports. Firefighters say they experienced problems with Water Pressure and equipment that was either lacking or did not arrive on scene before the fire got out of control. They also described weak radio reception inside the tower and that they lacked enough of the extended duration Breathing Apparatus they needed, especially when reaching the higher floors of the building. One firefighter described conditions on some floors as newsnight has learnt the so called aerial or high ladder did not arrive until more than half an hour after the first fire engines were dispatched, at 12 55 in the morning. An expert said having a high ladder available earlier would have given firefighters a better chance of stopping the blaze when itjumped from the 11th floor flat and began to race up the side of the building. I have spoken to aerial Appliance Operators in london who operate those appliances and who attended the incident, who think that having that on the first attempt might have made a difference because it allows you to operate a very powerful Water Towerfrom outside the building. The London Fire Brigade said that following the Grenfell Tower fire it had changed its procedures, and an Aerial Ladder would now automatically be sent to a fire in a tower. Thames water said it is a truth worth retelling, that firefighters rushed into harms way on that terrible night. They were heroes, no question. Way on that terrible night. But was their kit up to scratch, and did arrive in a timely fashion . We wont know the full answers until a public enquiry, but already it is safe to say that those in charge of keeping the capital safe from fire have serious questions to answer. Newsnights john sweeney with that report well speak to him later in the programme. The case of the terminally ill baby, charlie gard, will return to the high court after Great Ormond Street Hospital applied for a new hearing. The case of the terminally ill baby, charlie gard, will return to the high court after Great Ormond Street Hospital applied for a new hearing. Seven clinicians and researchers wrote to doctors at the hospital saying experimental therapy may be able to help him. Simonjones is outside the hospital. Simon, what exactly does this hearing mean . The parents say it offers one final hope for baby charlie. The hospital maintains its position that it believes treatment should be withdrawn and he should be allowed to die in dignity. But it feels that any new evidence should be examined once again by the courts, by a high courtjudge you can look at this evidence independently, access the data in an objective manner and decide what to do in this case next. It has been hugely controversial and what happened yesterday was that seven medics wrote to the hospital and they said that test that had been carried out on other patients with a similar condition to baby charlie but not exactly the same connecticut condition had had dramatic results but this data had yet to be published so that is why the hospital wants to have it looked at again. The pope has spoken out about this and the president of the United States but the powers not in their hands, it is now back in the hands of a judge. Thank you for the update. Theresa may is due to meet President Trump at the g20 summit in hamburg this morning to discuss a post brexit trade deal with the us. The Prime Minister will also urge the president to reconsider his decision to take america out of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. It follows another night of protests in the city, as greg dawson reports. Another night of violence on the streets of hamburg. A number of demonstrators against the g20 were set on confrontation with police. They built barricades and lit firees. Chancellor merkels insistence on bringing controversial World Leaders to a city centre, not a secure countryside retreat, has come at a cost. The sound of rioting was drowned out by the music of beethoven in a special concert last night. But this is far from a relaxed atmosphere with major disagreements on trade and Climate Change. Those are the two topics likely to dominate the one on one meeting theresa may will have with donald trump later, as the Prime Minister seeks to work on a dealfor a post brexit britain. The president s decision to withdraw from the paris treaty on Climate Change is also set to be discussed. I believe the collective message that will be given to President Trump around the table is the importance of america coming back into that agreement. And i hope we will be able to work to ensure that will happen. But it is notjust conversations around the summit table that have attracted attention in hamburg. For more than two hours yesterday, the us and russian president s discussed terrorism, syria and Cyber Security during the first face to face meeting. The alleged russian hacking of last years us president ial election also came up. Reporter mr president , will you raise the Election Hacking . Us officials admitting it is unlikely the two countries will ever agree on what happened. Our diplomatic correspondent, James Robbins is in hamburg this morning. James, what can we expect from the Prime Ministers meeting with mr trump this morning . The backdrop is all those questions from reporters about her status internationally, that somehow it has been diminished because of recent events so the meeting with top today is quite a big test, isnt it . It is really important for the Prime Minister. Under pressure because, of course, she so much weaker politically at home and much of her critics think shes weaker on the International Stage but when she sees donald trump for these talks she wants to be seen and heard pressing very strongly on behalf of the majority of countries here that america must rethink its withdrawal from the paris Climate Change agreement. It is a mission without much hope. That is no question that donald trump is committed to, at the very least, we negotiating americas pa rt very least, we negotiating americas part in that steel but theresa may says, as the others here say, there is no question of renegotiating. We all signed up and we must deliver on oui all signed up and we must deliver on our negotiations. She wants to use the meeting to press the case born early trade deal between the United States and britain, seen as crucial, frankly, To Britain Sunday Politics prosperity after brexit. That is another tough mission her because there is a less of a sense of urgency in washington about doing that steel bent there is in london. Police officers in england and wales now have to fill out a 10 page form every time they use any kind of force including using handcuffs, cs spray or drawing a baton. The Police Federation has likened it to writing an essay but the home secretary amber rudd says the new rules, which were introduced in april, will create unprecedented transparency. Police in florida say new evidence shows Venus Williams was driving lawfully when she was involved in a car crash in which a man died. An initial Police Report had described her as being at fault. A 78 year old man, jerome barson, died in the collision. His family has filed a lawsuit against ms williams, alleging she was negligently operating her vehicle. The rspca has confirmed it is seeking new powers in england and wales to allow its inspectors to enter private property and seize pets. It says it wants to be able to rescue animals in distress without having to wait for the police and a vet. Similar laws are already in place in scotland and Northern Ireland. Its a big day for the British And Irish Lions as they take on the all blacks in new zealand. The series is poised at one all and the deciding test kicks off injust over two hours. Our Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall sent this report from the Eden Park Stadium in auckland. When the British And Irish Lions we re when the British And Irish Lions were last in new zealand in 2000 they left with some questioning whether they would ever return after a humiliation at the hands of the all blacks and a very one sided series. Even six weeks ago they arrived here with very few people giving them any chance of success. Now, here at eden park, they are just one game away. One win away from making Sporting History. There was a lot of belief that a lot of hope after that win in wellington last week and thats reflected in the tens of thousands of lions fans who are flooding in to the stadium. There are rumours that they could even outnumber the all blacks fans inside that ground. That might give the lions a bit of an edge in terms of the atmosphere because, although they are confident and it is the same starting 23 as last week, they are the underdogs in this one and the odds are stacked against them. New zealand are the world champions for a reason. They have a loss at this ground since 1994. It is kieran beats 100th test as well, their captain, this evening. And they are unlikely to make the same mistakes they made last week. The lions will be expecting a backlash as everyone is saying, but whatever the outcome, after a 12 year wait for the new zealanders and the red army this is a really fitting finale to the series. This scene is set for that showdown. Just over half an hour to go. We sit here with voices in our heads plus the voices from the gallery and were doing ourjobs. Hurry you going to do that when that kicks off at 8 35am . Here is the thing. My little expertise tell me what the British And Irish Lions need to do is be calm today. Carl is the watchword, isnt it . Become a dividend will be ok. Are you going to avoid looking at the score . No, ican the score . No, i can stick that. We will have all the sport, also my kids at wimbledon bringing us up to date. The first face to face meeting between President Trump and President Putin has been described by the United States as robust and very good. In two hours and 16 minutes the two leaders talked about the alleged russian interference in the us election, north korea and terrorism. So what could this mean for future relations between the two countries . Joining us now from paris is the former uk ambassador to the us, sir christopher meyer. Good morning. Lovely to have you with us. Good morning. What do you make of this meeting . We were talking to our correspondent in hamburg today and he said it is almost as if and much to versus 19 otherworldly dinners. Other World Leaders. Angela merkel could never have imagined it was going to have the consequences it is now having. She thought she would be sitting alongside president hillary clinton, as it were, ruling the world to this meeting and it is now turning out to be something which is really very rough and difficult for her. And might, just might, damaged some of her prospects for the german elections after the summer holidays. Trump isa elections after the summer holidays. Trump is a problem. Carry on. She cant really focus just on that in terms of the company she is keeping now, because there are bigger global issues to tackle. Surely . Such as terrorism and in relation to the United States and what is happening in the middle east, surely that has got to take precedence . Well, in a rational world youre absolutely right. But the truth of the matter is these meetings, the 620 the matter is these meetings, the g20 meetings that started in 2008 at the time of the financial crisis actually dont make any practical difference that ive been able to notice over the last nine years. They become enormous top shops in which these big and serious issues are discussed. 0f which these big and serious issues are discussed. Of course. But there was not much time for discussion are so was not much time for discussion are so many people taking part. In the end, watched all boils down to as is happening now in hamburg, is the drafting of a communique in which the drafters have got to try to paper over the cracks between those who are taking part. Of course, the biggest crack of all, if i can put it like that, is between the 19 on the one hand and donald trump on the other on free trade and the paris Climate Change agreement. There was a sticking points. And often with these things news comes out very slowly and that communique can almost be very painful to draft and get something. Yet the Press Association is reporting just now that donald trump is that he expects a trade deal with the uk to be completed and i quote, very, very quickly. And said he will be coming to london. I hate to spring is on you but you are the perfect person to be apt to this coming out of the 620 to be apt to this coming out of the g20 just now. Please do give us your thoughts on that. Well, thank you chris bringing about on me. It is a very, very interesting statement. I will make two points here. One is that most of the news from these meetings does not come out of the meeting itself but out of the bilateral encounters that take place in the margins of the meetings. Theresa mays meeting with donald trump, i dont know if you said this in advance of the meeting or immediately after the meeting, what time of day today the two of them are going to meet. But by saying that a uk us Trade Agreement will happen very, very 0011 agreement will happen very, very soon is very encouraging for her. Of course, it cant happen very, very 0011. Course, it cant happen very, very soon. It cannot happen until we have left the European Union and the common external tariff. But it is a very good sign for the future and it will be very useful to have. What about him saying he is going to be coming to london . The husbands is much talk about whether or not she would welcome at whether or not to reason maine has withdrawn the third of put it sideways on the table. But you make of that . Well, dont nobody is talking about the state visit which is already planned. And which has not been. The invitation is not been withdrawn. Is he talking about that or is he talking about a Lightning Dash through the uk before her after his visit to paris for bastille day . Which is where im sitting right now. I dont know the a nswer to sitting right now. I dont know the answer to that. Ive heard a rumour that he will quiz through scotland and takea that he will quiz through scotland and take a look at his golf course and take a look at his golf course andi and take a look at his golf course and i be meeting between him and Prime Minister may up there. Big need a bit is it a quick dash . Next week, possibly. Are we talking about the big state visit to which he has been invited and which he has accepted . Thank you very much and very good humour to take the last minute surprise with that statement. Thank you very much for your thoughts. Thank you very much for your thoughts. We understand it was supposed to be at eight oclock and we have not had any informational pages apart from that statement from the Press Association saying that a trade deal would be done very, very quickly. At that meeting is supposed to be going on right about now. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Good morning. It depends what kind of it we have over the uk. Hot Continental Air over the south which is why we had 30 degrees again yesterday. In contrast we had the atla ntic yesterday. In contrast we had the atlantic air, something a little bit cooler across glasgow. There will be left contrast today and ill explain why. Lets start with wimbledon. If youre lucky enough to be heading off to this middle saturday we got some sunshine on offer. Not as much as yesterday. It will not be stifling but it is still humid. Youll still need the sunscreen and strong sunshine. Plenty of it. Cloud waiting in the wings to the south west and to the north west. A couple of weather fronts. This one will be a little bit more active. The one in the south just giving us drizzly showers. I was showing you some murky looking pictures of South West Wales. Similarly in the South West Wales. Similarly in the South West Of England. Some cloud for the restart as well but it is still bright. It is dry and there will be usable weather it want to get out and about. More sunshine as we head north through Northern Ireland and much of scotland after being cleared the early showers in the east. It is changing for the western isles, the northern isles, parts of north west ireland, the wind strength bringing in some atla Ntic Lowd Ha M Wind strength bringing in some Atlantic Lowd Ham Grange Wind strength bringing in some atlantic Lowdham Grange and that will make a difference to the weather. The evening continues there and there will not be such a contrast in our temperatures today. We are looking at temperatures getting into the low 20s and parts of scotla nd getting into the low 20s and parts of scotland and Northern Ireland and perhaps the mid 20s in this out. Compared to yesterdays contrast it is not as big. If a night tonight keep that mild, Muggy Warm Air in the south. A bit more cloud. In the north, not quite as cool as it was this morning just because we have this morning just because we have this cloud. That will make a difference for southern and Central Scotla nd difference for southern and Central Scotland tomorrow and parts of Northern Ireland competitors todays sunshine. More cloud, we think, more breeze and some rain. Some rain around. In the south the remnants of the week weather front coming and going but it should brighten up. Warmer than today, tomorrow. Quite stifling that Humidity Butjust 14 underneath that rain band in the north. Eventually be fresh air winds throughout the go into next week when it looks of little bit more u nsettled. Thank you. Its nearly half a century since the British And Irish Lions won a tour of new zealand. But this morning they have the chance to do exactly that. The Series Decider kicks off in auckland in around 15 minutes. Geeta pendse hasjoined some rugby fans who have gathered in leicester. The first phone to the all blacks, the second went to the lions. So here we are. The scene is set. Leicester is a big rugby city itself. There is a real heightened excitement about this game, isnt there . There is. You read the Leicester Tigers Stadium where as you say there have been so many historic by there have been so many historic rugby moments in the past and they have the same will happen for the lions today. There are a bunch of all ages were hoping to see an unforgettable game for all the right reasons. The last time the lions defeated the all blacks for a test series was back in 1971 and i have a gentleman here, a fan, who was there in1971. Gentleman here, a fan, who was there in 1971. Alex. You can remember them winning the last time, cant you . Yes. I was there when they won the first test, 9 3. The trial was only worth three points in those days. Then they went on to storm through the series. Do you think they will do it again . They have kept you waiting a long time. It has got to become heads because the all blacks will be relief fired up the all blacks will be relief fired up today and they will throw ever thing at us. Iq, alex. It is such a family affair. People of all ages have come here today and ive gotjust the car over here who is here with her dad. Jessica, you are very excited, havent you . Lam havent you . I am beyond excited. Ive reached a level of excitement and nerves i dont think ive quite bell before. Mckenna broke down and sobs on the floor in front of the tv after the result so pretty much the same today whatever the result. Im a bag of nerves. I hope you are crying for the right reasons later. Ive got to bring calum in here. You do you think is going to win . The lions. And by how much do you think . 246. Think . 24 6. Youve heard it there. Hopefully that is what will happen. They are all braced for a backlash but the do think the lions will try. Thank you very much for that i love that prediction. 246. It is so precise as well. And no doubt. No doubt at all. If yea rs and no doubt. No doubt at all. If years right that would be amazing. We would have to bring him in. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Time now for a look at the newspapers. Good morning. Are you a rugby fan . No. 0bviously want them to win. Lets have a look at the front pages. The daily telegraph, andie marrying. 0h, pages. The daily telegraph, andie marrying. Oh, i am on the wrong paper. Weve got a copy of the guardian. The guiding is taking a look at something we been talking about. The meeting between President Putin and donald trump and of course, also on this newspaper as well. What is that . A close up of the guardian. And that story is looking at a significant rise in Asthma Attacks which have prompted calls to restrict the sale of Corrosive Su Bsta Nces restrict the sale of corrosive substances which can be bought easily over the counter. Lets get rid of the front pages. Sometimes it doesnt work. Im taking you to the daily express. This is a story about some houses that happened. Two Bedroomed Houses and their run the derby to nottingham basford. But what they have forgotten to do is to take down by shelter so if you live in particular house, they are £140,000 at the moment. You can only look at the house by going in the back door because you cant get in the front because you cant get in the front because of the by shelter. When i first looked at the side and understand. I didnt realise it is ashley blocked the entrance to the house. That is a workman actually climbing ever the fence. Which was there first . The bus stop. Now they are the houses. I dont think i would buy anything unless that was taken down, would you . There is lack of common sense in this. Lack of communication, common sense. Travelling. Six in 100 bags go missing. Weve all had it happen. I remember being stuck in barcelona with no clothes for almost a week. That wouldve been quite a big story. It would have been. Now you can get a gps and have an app on your phone so a gps and have an app on your phone so if you are stuck in barcelona or whatever and they say they dont no work is you can say, i dont know where it is. It does not solve the problem of having no clothes. As nation universities. The other thing is, the airlines and welcoming it because they have the huge compensation bill. Because people can then suddenly say, i had that in there and this in there. My rolex watch whatever was in the suitcase. So this is a way of resolving that problem. Taking the pressure off. Pubs. This the guardian. The village pub closes down and you have the butchers arms and Crosby Ravensworth which closed several years ago. At the community decided, with a minimum investment of £250, they could save the pub. So these are the individuals who go to the pub routinely describes together. And they have attracted more people. They are prospering by Private Enterprise was failing. It is because they know the community and they know exactly what the Community Wa Nts they know exactly what the Community Wants so they design everything accordingly and it is becoming incredibly popular. The country and was a possibility of 90. As we have reported often on this programme about the number of pubs closing. You see them boarded up as people are going to the supermarket and staying at home. They make a profit as well. 3 a year on investment. Thats not bad. We missed a trick this morning to ask you what they were doing. Is too late now because of their watching by late now because of their watching rugby they will not be watching us. I wondered many pubs bars or social clu bs i wondered many pubs bars or social clubs will be open early this morning . Definitely. Big story from the financial times. The streaming thing. The problem. The streaming thing. The problem. The main broadcasters are really worried about this. It was said the other day that we have two reinvent for a new generation. And with my children they are not watching. Bid and sit down and watch, you know, the main companies. They do netflix, theyre doing and is on, theyre doing you tube. And the main broadcasters are theyre doing you tube. And the main broadcasters a re really theyre doing you tube. And the main broadcasters are really worried about this and theyve got to start looking at how to attract young without losing the old as well. A big thing. There was a possibility that the older people will see what their kids are doing and follow them doing that. So what is the answer, then . Who knows . How do you attract. That is why theyre having meetings all the time but radio, television, however they attract. In some ways, the Old Fashioned sense of the Point Of View has come back. The finals, like the bake of vinyl and events like that still are in the moments. Did you watch it when it is happening. But you look at so many teenagers and their watching, you know, 25 programmes of something on netflix or whatever. Theyre getting really sort of into that they can do it whenever they want. You know, theyre not restricted. Whenever they want. You know, theyre not restrictedm the next hour we will talk about anchovies and chips. And is going to leave it out there.

Two minutes when kick off begins for the British And Irish Lions against the British And Irish Lions against the all blacks. My, despite the fact you are out at wimbledon, wimbledon has staged amazing moments of Sporting History and the British And Irish Lions in auckland is along those moments . Yes, i deciding test match only comes around once in a generation and that is why it is so special. It is a moment of destiny, this is the scene Now Wimbledon in the Commentary Box. They are Getting Centre court ready, but you can see why some staff are distracted, maybe glancing up their phones, maybe the bbc sport website to get updates from auckland. They are out on the pitch now at eden park trying to make history by becoming the first english and irish lions to beat the all blacks since 1951. But the all blacks have lost in auckland. There will be some new Attacking Moves from the British And Irish Lions in this match. Back to wimbledon briefly. We will keep you updated. So there were four british players in the singles here at wimbledon, now were down to two. And then there were two. We started the week with 12 brits and Onlyjohanna Konta and andy murray remain. Murray is used to such a stage, centre court is his amphitheatre, where he shows off his finest work. He was bending the ball like, well, him. His opponents, Fabio Fognini with skulls on his bandanna and skills on his racket pushed him hard though five times, within a point of forcing a deciding set. The roman empire doing its stuff. Murrays empire wasnt about to crumble though. What a way to finish four set win and murray through to round four for the tenth year in a row. Hopefully, get myself in a good rhythm over the weekend and come out and play some good tennis on monday. Yes, obviously happy to get through the first week. Anything can happen from here. Familiar territory the murray but against greeces maria sakkari, konta was already stepping into the unknown, shed never carry british hopes this far. You would not have known. Ranked inside the worlds top ten now, on court one she dropped just five games and showed just why she is favourite to win the whole thing. I think everyones a potential winner here, so im here to hopefully be involved until the very end. But one match at a time. Im very happy to have come through today and definitely got another Battle Coming Up next. If she wins that much, she could meet Victoria Azarenka in the quarterfinals. The former world number one in only her fifth match back from having a son, ended Heather Watsons campaign in three sets. Aljaz bedene also waved farewell against luxembourgs gilles muller. It was the furthest he had been at the all england club. Emulating murray and konta will have to wait for another year. Rafa nadal continued his solid form, hes yet to drop a set after beating russias karun khachenov on centre court. He didnt drop a set when he won the french open either. 0ne face were used to seeing in the second week at wimbledon is Venus Williams. The tenth seed came through againstjapans naomi 0saka. Away from the tennis, englands cricketers are just about on top heading into the third day of the first test at lords. Moeen ali and stuart broad took two wickets apiece as south africas batsmen struggled in reply to englands 458 all out. And a late wicket from James Anderson left them trailing by 244 runs with five first innings wickets left. Lewis hamilton already knows he faces a five place grid penalty for tomorrows austrian grand prix, after making a gearbox change. He did set the pace in practice though, just ahead of Championship Rival sebastian vettel. Chris froome is still wearing the Yellow Jersey as the Tour De France heads towards thejura mountains. He finished safely in the peleton on stage seven, with marcel kittel, in blue, winning the Sprint Finish Byjust six millimetres. Froomes lead stays at 12 seconds. Manchester united have competition for the signature of romelu lukaku, his former club chelsea have matched uniteds bid of around £75 million. But chelsea say they arent willing to pay the same fees to his agent. Scotlands women go into the European Championship in high spirits after beating the Republic Of Ireland 1 0 in their final warm up match, Christie Murray scoring four minutes from time. The euros start in less than two weeks and scotlands opening match is against england. Back at wimbledon, i am in the Commentary Box which is wherejeff is sitting. This is your spot. Welcome. It is very hot, how do you cope with the heatin very hot, how do you cope with the heat in here . It has been hot this week. Artist in history. Andy murray, what a big test to come through. He now has a two day rest do you think you can go all the way to the final . Com five sets, it would have been a problem. Fabio fognini is very good in those five setters and andy murray knew that. We saw the motion, Fabio Fognini is a very difficult player. The draw doesnt get that much easier, it just keeps getting tougher. Doesnt get that much easier, it just keeps getting toughenm doesnt get that much easier, it just keeps getting tougher. If he gets past the frenchman on monday, who lies in wait, who could be the main challenge . Kevin anderson is probably the best fast court player in that area, he is a dangerous player. It is one at a time for andy murray, especially with his hip. The grass is a little slippery and dangerous. The best movers will do well. I see murray, rafa dangerous. The best movers will do well. Isee murray, rafa nadal, Roger Federer and novak djokovic. Rafa nadal is looking serene. He is unflappable. John mcenroe said he is the best of leah left in the draw. Do you Thinkjohanna Konta is living up do you Thinkjohanna Konta is living up to the billing as favourites . She is the crowd favourite. There are a bunch of women who will come through, Venus Williams could come along, azarenka could come along. But the number one seeds, i dont see her as the favourite and that brings konta in to see her potential. That is what we want, her potential. That is what we want, her potential. Can she do it . One match at the time, i think is great advice. That is what konta is thinking now. She doesnt want to think, next saturday i will be in the finals. It would be too much pressure. It would be more fun to win one match at the time and she needs to use the crowd, she needs to be thejimmy needs to use the crowd, she needs to be the Jimmy Connors needs to use the crowd, she needs to be theJimmy Connors of the womens draw and if you does that, i think she could win it. Heather watson use the crowd, what a brilliant match. There was that one moment when she made the challenge too late. Was it a Turning Point or do you think it would have gone the same way anyway . I think the ball was in, i think she wa nted i think the ball was in, i think she wanted to double check. It was around 2 2 in the third set. There we re around 2 2 in the third set. There were a few soft Second Service coming in, she needed to take that forehand and give it a wallop. This is something she can learn for the future, go for it in the big moments. Who do you think being strong in the womens draw. Azarenka is back after having a baby boy, only five matches in since returning . You cant forget about williams, i think konta is there. The womens draw is open and exciting. It is more exciting than the men because every day is a new thing. I love nick bollettieris line when he said not even god knows who is going to win. If we knew that we would be a millionaire. Jeff, i have been so rude because in the last few moments i have been looking at my phone. Are you interested in the lions against the all blacks . Yes, it is exciting. Who is winning . I dont know, i have to put the Security Code in, i am none the wiser. 0k, it is goalless. Can we get out of the Commentary Box, it is like a get out of the Commentary Box, it is likea sauna, get out of the Commentary Box, it is like a sauna, i dont know how you do it for hours on end. What a great vantage point. Nearly 1 million 11 year olds were given a pocket sized computer called a microbit last year, in what hailed as the most ambitious Technology Project in a generation. The aim was to encourage young people to learn about coding and technology. It seems to have worked, as nearly half of young people using the device say they would go on to study Computer Science. Joining us now is School Teacher Stephen Richards and pupils andra and andrei. Good morning. We said nearly half would go on to study computing in some form, are you surprised by this . I am not. The statistic that have just come out, looking at how many children have taken Computer Science, especially with the microbit, doesnt surprise me because children have always been interested in technology. What is it about the microbit which has engaged, lets say what i was doing, programming and all of that thing . Is because it is so physical. Previously, computers, you can find to using a keyboard and a screen. The microbit takes it into the real world. You can create smart watches like these, which can be a pedometer and you can put one into a robot like this. Who will show us what the little robot can do . Andra, can you do that. You programme something and it makes the robot work . What is interesting about this specific robots, it works with so many different systems and that why it is so different systems and that why it is so accessible to everyone because you can start with programmes that are easier to you is, such as the microbit but you can also go on to use complicated languages, such as python. Do you want to show us what it does . Does it move . python. Do you want to show us what it does . Does it move . I am guessing it does . Does it move . I am guessing it is on by now. If i put this, it will start to dance and do different things. You programmed in that card, what would have been done with that ca rd to what would have been done with that card to make that move . The microbit has been programmed so it is now controlling the robot. It is the brains of the robot. We can give one of these to every student in the class and they can write their own programme. What would you do with it . When you programme it . You plug ina usb it . When you programme it . You plug in a usb cable. You go on the web browser and you can programme, you can drag some blogs, a bit like jigsaw pieces, put blocks into Family Actions you want. Andrei, how easyis Family Actions you want. Andrei, how easy is it, how long would it take for a project . To be honest, they designed it to be extremely easy, so when we first got the microbit, wheeler tasked with a challenge to make a project. We had only had the microbit for about two weeks. But the way they made it, it was so easy to use. It didnt take us very long. Basically, you are dragging blocks and putting them together, but behind that you are coding. The whole point of this is to infuse young people and make you think you could have a career in this line of work, is that what you intend to do . Yes, i dont have a job in mind, but definitely in it, definitely. You are open to offers . We do stories all the time, girls and women in sciences are not maybe drawn to it in the same way, or they are not encouraged to . Presumably, you are here now, it does it for you . It definitely does. Until now, women are always new Computer Science was there and we could maybe actually go into pursuing it, but now it is more accessible than ever before. You are right, women are being encouraged, before the option of taking complete isi before the option of taking complete is i was never there. But my year group were pushed and it is a choice thatis group were pushed and it is a choice that is very recommended, which is amazing because it allows women to go in now a leading profession. Why did it suddenly start moving again . Did you see that . Is it moving randomly . That is scary. Is this something you would choose to do in your spare time . Definitely. There is so much you can do with it. It is so small but complex at the same time, you can do so much fun with it. Has the robot got a name . Marty the robot. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories this morning President Trump expects the deal to be completed very quickly at the g20 meeting and confirms he will be making a visit to london. There are claims firefighters had inadequate equipment as they tackled the Grenfell Tower fire. Low Water Pressure is amongst the reported failings which hampered their efforts to tackle the blaze. Also coming up in the programme the deciding match between the lions and all blacks started a few minutes ago. Well be joined by fans, and by former British And Irish Lions scrum half, harry ellis, later in the programme. You shouldnt be allowed to touch things. Everyone is looking very nervous at you touching the robot. Please leave marty alone. I thought he was going to throw to the weather. I dont think he is programmed to do that. He is waving. He is doing an impression of helen, pointing along the map of the uk. Well done marty. Can he do the Weather Forecast . If we gave him the next two and a half minutes, it wouldnt be as informative as ear. Dry in new zealand and likely to be dry at wimbledon, what a week it has been. No play needed on the middle sunday but today it will be very warm again. Not as hot as yesterday. But still some strong sunshine to be aware of. The amount of sunshine and the clear skies across the country. We have cloud in the south west, the south east and across scotland and various weather fronts. South east and across scotland and various weatherfronts. I had south east and across scotland and various weather fronts. I had to show you this one from close to where i come from. More sunshine across north wales, northern england, scotland and ireland compared with yesterday. For most it isa compared with yesterday. For most it is a winning day if you want to get out and about. Low cloud in the South West Of England and the South West Wales and perhaps a drizzly shower. Bit more cloud around yesterday, hence it will be as hot. But more sunshine on offer for north wales. Northern england, Northern Ireland central and southern scotland, will be fine but we have this weather front heading our way. The hebrides, 0rkney and shetland, it might take a while to get the shetland but it is on its way. This Weather System will push a little bit more cloud and around the late morning and early part of the afternoon so the sunshine may be eroding across wales and the midlands for a while. But it should be warm and dry for the majority. Not such a contrasting temperature today. 0vernight, the weatherfront moves in across scotland and haddington was Northern Ireland. Further south, a lot of cloud and it will be uncomfortable for sleeping, just like last night. Another couple of nights before we freshen the air up of nights before we freshen the air up in southern areas. A different day for scotland and Northern Ireland, cloud and patchy rain, not such a great day. For the south, if anything we start cloudy and get more sunshine later. That could trigger some sharp showers. As i said, it does freshen up in the south next week, but with a chance of more unsettled weather. Marty has left us. He didnt get the job so he has gone for another. You just blew him out the water, helen. See you later. A tea towel collection, and the complete works of the jockey dick francis, probably not the first things youd associate with the poet Philip Larkin. But theyre all part of a new exhibition of his belongings which opened this week. For the first time, the complete contents larkins house are on show as part of hulls City Of Culture celebrations. 0ur Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson has been to take a look. When getting my nose in a book cured most things short of school. Philip larkins poem, a study of reading habits. Now we know a lot more about his own reading habits, because his personal book collection has gone on display and theres a lot of agatha christie, billy bunter and beatrix potter. Here weve got 3700 of Philip Larkins own books. They are a part of an exhibition of his personal objects at the university of hull library, where he worked for more than 30 years. But what do ties, a lawn mower and his tiny animal Figurine Collection tell people about one of the nations greatest ever poets . What they are going to learn is what they cannot learn in books. So lots and lots of words have been written about larkin, but what you can see here is the things he surrounded himself with in his life. Because hes a librarian, he catalogues everything. Hes even catalogue who hes received Christmas Cards from and who hes sending them to. So if he sends one to someone, doesnt get one, theyll be gone . Well, in 1979, he receives a Christmas Card from andrew motion. Future Poet Laureate . Yes, Poet Laureate but also his biographer and Literary Executor and then in 1980, yes, larkin sends a Christmas Card to the motions. He doesnt send one in 1979, he writes it down and he sends one in 1980. The exhibition also includes newly found Silent Super Eight films from the 60s and 70s, which the library made for their annual christmas party. Its clear why Philip Larkin became a poet and not an actor. You have not shied away from the darker side of his personality . No, this figure of hitler was bought by his father on one of his visit to germany and he gave it to his son. And philip kept it. Hull year of City Of Culture has helped change perceptions of the place and the librarian doing larkins old job and doing hisjob is certain he would have approved. I think he would have been appreciative, but i suspect an exhibition about larkin, i dont think he would have been comfortable with that. But as the exhibition shows larkin wasnt entirely co mforta ble shows larkin wasnt entirely comfortable with anything. The exhibition, larkin new eyes each year is open until the 1st of october. The third and final test between the British And Irish Lions and all blacks kicked off about 15 minutes ago. A win would mean their first victorious tour of new zealand for nearly half a century. Geeta pendse is watching the action with some rugby fans in leicester. We saw them a little earlier intensely glued to the screen, how are we doing . It hasnt changed, but they are having some frayed nerves. New zealand are the only team that have scored, but it is early on and someone who is watching closely is harry ellis, a former scrum for england and also for the lions themselves, former half scrum. However they doing . Even though the all blacks have scored, the lions are pushing forward . Yes, it is a physical game and a long way to go, so no doubt we will see some good play from lions. New zealand have never lost where they are playing, but a fantastic game so far. What do you make of the lions form so far . Not bad, a couple of mistakes, but very close at the moment. If we just stick to our guns and play simple by, stick to our guns and play simple rugby, i stick to our guns and play simple rugby, lam stick to our guns and play simple rugby, i am sure we will get some more points on the board. Harry, it is so historic, if they do win this, what would it mean . It is massive, this tour only happens every four years so different similar to a world cup and it is a spectacle to play for the british lines, it is the peak of anyones career in britain. You can see by the travelling support, at the leicester tigers, it is a special moment today. Thank you very much. As you mentioned, there was so much support here for the lions. Chris has been glued to the screen, he is not looking at us. Chris, how has again been so far . Quite nervous. I am hoping we can get this kick to get the ball ticking over and hopefully we can get more points on the board. Iam sure we can get more points on the board. I am sure everyone we can get more points on the board. I am sure everyone is hoping that, thank you very much. We will keep you updated as the game continues. Lets see how they react to this penalty kick. Yes, i know. It is so quiet here because they are just watching the screen. Here it goes. It has gone through. That puts us on the scoreboard. Little bit of encouragement to the fans. Yes. What did you make of that, chris . Glad we got that. I am hoping for some tries now. You asked and they delivered. Hopefully. That is a happy man. This is it, when you are watching these events and it doesnt start your way, you need a little bit of encouragement and you hope the momentum goes with you. We will keep an eye on developments in auckland. The headlines coming up in a few moments, we will see you then. Hello this is breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. President trump says he expects a trade deal with the uk to be completed very, very quickly. President trump says he expects a trade deal the us president s is currently meeting with theresa may at the g20 summit in germany, where he also confirmed that he will be making an official visit to london. Good morning. Its saturday the 8th ofjuly. Also ahead a bbc investigation reveals how Equipment Problems and low Water Pressure hampered the efforts of firefighters tackling the devastating Grenfell Tower blaze. Doctors apply for a fresh Court Hearing for charlie gard, as experts claim theres a treatment that could help prolong his life. We are quite happy with sedates outcome and were hopeful and confident that charlie may get his chance now. Confident that charlie may get his chance now. In sport, the british and irish Lions New Zealand strike first. They lead 73 new zealand strike first. They lead 7 3 approaching the half hour mark. They lead 7 3 approaching the half hour mark. And from four britons were down to two here at wimbledon, Asjohanna Konta and andy murray roar their way into the second week of the singles. And helen has the weather. Good morning. A little more clout than the south survey and a little less in the north but essentially it looked like a
