But mark sampson and the fa deny any wrongdoing and say they were cleared by an independent investigation. And carol is out and about with the weather. Good morning from green park in london. I have good company this morning, these lovely ladies. It is the First Time Since the 1930s there have been sheep in green park. These are not any ordinary sheep. I will tell you more later. After a murky start things will get brighter. It could get up to 26 or 27 in parts of the uk, but there will also be heavy showers later for Northern Ireland, Northern England and scotland. More details in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. President trump says the us will fight to win in afghanistan, as he unveils a new strategy in the war against the taliban. In a major speech last night he said that he had changed his mind about withdrawing troops from the country. He also called on nato allies to do more. Our washington correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports. The man who always said he didnt wa nt to the man who always said he didnt want to intervene abroad came to announce the intervention in afghanistan is going to ratchet up. He said it was for the right reasons. We are not nationbuilding again. We are killing terrorists. He announced the lifting of a cap on the number of us troops in afghanistan, and that there would be no time limit on them staying there. My no time limit on them staying there. My original instincts was to pull out, and historically, i like following my instincts. But all my life, ive heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the oval office. A very different donald trump to the one who said this kind of thing right through the obama years. And that is the basis on which she campaigned asa and that is the basis on which she campaigned as a president ial candidate, that he wouldnt spend American Resources abroad, but here at home. He says he now realises that pulling out american troops from afghanistan would leave a vacuum for militants. But it will be a disappointment to many of his supporters. This will mean there is still no end in sight for americas longest war. President trump also called for nato allies to do more in afghanistan. Lets get the latest from our Political Correspondent, ian watson. Good morning. It is the uks response to this speech from donald trump . Even before he delivered that speech, the defence secretary, Michael Fallon, spoke to his opposite number in america, us defence secretary james mattis. They discussed the situation in afghanistan and after the speech, theyissued afghanistan and after the speech, they issued a statement from the ministry of defence, saying that the president s edition is very welcome, that it president s edition is very welcome, thatitis president s edition is very welcome, that it is good to be staying the course in afghanistan. President s position. It also says that despite the challenges in afghanistan, we will help build up the fragile democracy there. So certainly a welcome from the minister of defence, with regards to the change of tone from donald trump. But also, the uk has also increased its troop numbers in afghanistan even before the president s speech. Back injune we sent an extra 85 troops. We have just under 600 in the country. There has been no specific request from the us for us to send more soldiers to that ongoing conflict. Ian, thank you. We will have more on that through this morning, it is our main story. Four men accused of being part of a terror cell which killed 15 people in spain last week are due to appear in court in madrid this morning. The suspects arrived at a jailjust outside of the city last night. Police in catalonia say they shot dead the suspected driver of the van which ploughed into pedestrians in barcelona on thursday. Younes abouyaaqoub was found hiding in a vineyard 30 miles west of the city. Ford is the latest car maker to offer incentives to uk drivers to scrap their old diesel cars for a new, less polluting vehicle. Steph, can tell us more about the deal . Good morning. This has a lot to do without pollution. It is about trying to get rid of all the cars on the road that are the most polluting. We know that from 2040, the government have said they will ban the sale of any petrol and diesel cars. In the meantime, you have lots of other Car Companies thinking about how they can sell more of their new model cars, but also try to reduce the number of the more polluting models off the road. Ford are the latest introduce a scrappage scheme. They say that if your car is older than seven years, it can be any make of cork car, it can be any make of cork car, it doesnt matter if it is ford or not, you can buy ford car and get £2000 off if you give them your older, more polluting car. This is for both petrol and diesel cars. We have seen similar schemes from the likes of vauxhall. Also bmw and mercedes, they did it for these for diesel cars only. The idea is that they want to reduce the number of diesel cars in particular, because they are more polluting. The number of diesel cars has gone up from Something Like 3. 2 million on the roads in 2000, right up to 10 million now. So there are quite a lot of diesel cars out there. That is what they are looking at, trying to reduce the number of them, so that the air quality is better. We will be speaking to the boss of ford letter about this. Later.

Millions of people watched as the moon passed in front of the sun, casting a deep shadow more than 60 miles wide across earth. Our science correspondent pallab ghosh joined the sky watchers in oregon. They came in their tens of thousands, like pilgrims, to the tiny town of madras. They came to witness one of natures great spectacles. It is a quarter past ten in the morning but it seems like my time. We arejust in the morning but it seems like my time. We are just a few seconds away from the total eclipse and the moon has almost completely covered the sun. It looks like a smiley face in the sky. The sun dimms to an eerie pale light. Dims. Up above, a thin smile in the sky. And then a flash. A diamond ring. And then the moon blocks the suns bright disc, its atmosphere normally washed away by the solar lights now appears as a halo around the moon. It seems like a shimmering black pearl, hanging in the sky. This was definitely something you have to see in person. It is something that you cant describe. The eclipse crossed the entire us. Ten states. A distance of two and half thousand miles, injust 90 minutes. From coast to coast, it seemed everybody was interested. For two incredible minutes, the tiny town became the centre of the universe, as those he became the first in america to witness one of the great wonders of the solar system. Those here. We will have more on that in the morning, and we will be speaking to one of the eclipse chasers that we had on yesterday. I thought he would say bonnie tyler. No, although she was everywhere yesterday. We will have her singing total eclipse of the heart on a cruise ship later. What was your favourite toy growing up . like to lego. Tilting bricks. I didnt actually have lego, i had one of the alternatives. I liked the funny felt. I loved the funny felt. You could do villages and towns and all sorts of things. It was wonderful. Ifound all sorts of things. It was wonderful. I found some all sorts of things. It was wonderful. Ifound some in my mums old cupboard ten years ago and dug it out. Was it still sticky . No, but i used it anyway. The reason we are asking this is because we are talking about the best toys of the last 100 years. Well, the royal mail has had a go and picked out 10 for a new set of stamps. Among them are stickle bricks, meccano and the space hopper as well as action man and sindy. This is bound to be controversial. I never had a space hopper, i always wa nted never had a space hopper, i always wanted one. I would wonder, where you tall as a child . Yes, i was about this tool now, at the age of 11. I always wondered how tall people got on them. With great difficulty. Short people like me really struggled. Powerful fires. They were useful. What are they . Those little gladiators . There we go fuzzy felt. I am disappointed we havent seen a girls world. What is that . You dont know what a girls world is . It was not creepy at all, the head with their hair. The doll without the body. I didnt realise that sindy, they canvassed girls, and they overwhelmingly picked sindy has a name for the dole they wanted. Other than cyndi lauper, which is built from there, i have never met a cindy in my life. I liked her because you could get brunette ones. Well, im glad weve cleared that up. Let us know about your favourite toys. Good morning, sally. Yes, we are talking about a story you might have seen developing in the last couple of days. And unsettling story for any other to, who has been on this Programme Many times, the former england striker. Anti Racism Campaign group kick it out is calling for a comprehensive and independent review after an england footballer alleged she was dropped following claims of Racial Discrimination by manager mark sampson. Striker eni aluko accused sampson of making racial and prejudicial remarks. He and the fa have been cleared of any wrongdoing in both an fa review and an independent investigation. Evertons wayne rooney scored his 200th premier league goal in the 1 1 draw last night at Manchester City.

Team skys chris froome took the leaders red jersey after stage three of the vuelta a espa na yesterday. Hes aiming to become only the third man to win both the Tour De France and the vuelta in the same year. Englands women play france in the semi final of the Rugby World Cup this evening. Head coach Simon Middleton has made two changes to his side for the match as Lydia Thompson comes in on the wing and Rachel Burford returns at inside centre. He has been making lots of changes through this tournament. This is, without question, his strongest selection so far. Carols here with this mornings weather. Shes out and about with some woolly friends in londons green park. Good morning. We have a lovely flock of sheep. This one is called juniper. Olivia is next to her, and next to her as esmeralda. She is very shy this morning. We have over here another, and they are very cute, i must say. They are in green park, in london, and the reason were here is that the royal parks are running a grazing trial the moment. So the sheep have not been in green park since the 1930s. No sheep has, and these will be here until sunday. The purpose of the grazing trial is that the sheep will eat the dominant plants and grass, allowing space for other plants to grow. Another thing they will do is try and put seeds back into the ground, so we will see further growth as well. My favourite is olivia, with a tufty fringe. The weather is not so kind to us this morning. It is cloudy and damp in london, and that is the case across many parts. It is a cloudy and murky start, with some fog around but it will brighten up later and some parts of the uk will hit 26 or 27 celsius. This morning we have the rain crossing scotland which will increasingly turn patchy as we go through the course of the day. You can see the cloud in the fog we have had across parts of wales, the midlands, for example. Through the morning we will see showers coming across South West England. Those could get into the midlands and they will turn heavier and more organised as they headed to Northern Ireland. There will be some heavy showers across the grampians and the murray firth in southern scotland, and we could see some breaks. Temperatures into about the 20s. Northern england also seeing some showers are so theyre in, or heavy and thundery later on. As we come south a lot of dry weather. Cloud braking, the sun coming out and somewhere in central or southern england we could hit 26 or southern england we could hit 26 or 27 today. Sunshine prevails as push into the south west and in two wales, but one or two showers here and there are more especially across northern parts of wales. For wales we could hit the mid 20s in any sunshine but it will be a wet afternoon in Northern Ireland. And some of that rain will be heavy. Showers basically gathering together. As we head on through the evening and overnight, the showery outbreaks of rain across Northern Ireland transfer into scotland and also Northern England, and some of those could be heavy and still thundery. Behind the heavy showers across wales, generally for most of the uk away from those areas we are looking at a dry at night with loads between 1a and 17. Tomorrow we pick up between 1a and 17. Tomorrow we pick up the rain again across scotland lows. Continuing to push steadily eastwards into the north sea. A line of cloud also crossing other parts of cloud also crossing other parts of england and wales in the east. That is a line of cloud, as i mentioned, and it will still be long enough before that cloud gets out and clears for us to see higher temperatures. Still quite humid, like today. Kind of some brighter skies and fresher. On thursday the northern half of the country will see some wet weather. Further south, dry and bright and temperatures again into the low 20s, as opposed to the mid or high 20s at best. I must say, there are an awful lot of beasties around this morning. They have been encouraged by the higher levels of humidity. We can see them flying around you, but at least you have the sheep, carol. Yes, the sheep are very nice. I am working on some sheep facts for you later, carol, ok . I think she is looking forward to that. Carol is generally genuinely considering going home after that. Our main story this morning the us is demanding an afg ha n morning the us is demanding an afghan troop boost. We saw President Trump giving a speech implying that more troops will be deployed to afghanistan as he commit to tackling the war on terror there. Loads of papers dealing with the new series of bake off on channel 4. On the front page of the sun, doughnuts, they say. We also have a picture on they say. We also have a picture on the front page of the daily telegraph, of a presenter telling a fan to fast forward the ad breaks. Keep fit to get money off weekly shopping. It proposes discounts and free bicycles to encourage healthy living. There was the eclipse yesterday, i didnt show you the picture on the front page of the times. Millions of americans coast to coast were able to watch it on a picture of donald trump and his wife, melania, wearing protective glasses. It is even more orange than me is the headline. Good morning to you both. The other story on the front of that paper, next to donald trump, is one about high streets. About banks abandoning high street. They say high street banks are shutting more than ten branches a week. Interestingly they have a little table inside which tells you how many banks have shed the a nswe is. How many banks have shed the answers. For example, rbs had over 2020 11 and now they have just under 1500. 2000 in 2011. That is because a lot more of us now use banking online and fewer people use the branches. But for some people, they dont have access to the internet. One other thing i wanted to show you is, apple have been. Obviously the worlds Biggest Technology company, have been running a competition to try and find some new engineers. So they have been hiding job adverts on their website. Basically if you manage to find the advert they are saying you must be good enough to potentially work for us. You are an engineer. Act in the day, a long time ago. She is happy with her current job you can never have too manyjobs. Current job you can never have too many jobs. Imagine working for apple, im sure that would be fun. Not that this isnt. There we go. Moving on. The 200th goal last night for wayne rooney. Interesting that ta ps for wayne rooney. Interesting that taps england might recall him for a world cup next year. Him and alan shearer, maybe he can come back as well he might be relishing the idea of the International Breaks and resting during that time, and therefore making himself a better performer when he comes in place for everton. And in the star, we will be talking about this until the weekend. Floyd mayweather and Conor Mcgregorfighting on weekend. Floyd mayweather and Conor Mcgregor fighting on saturday night, this weekend. They think it will be worth around £1 billion, generate £1 billion of revenue. The two of them will share around £300 million between them. Conor mcgregor making his professional boxing day but against potentially one of the best boxers ever. There has been a lot of talk, we will see what happens when they get in the ring. Today marks three months since a suicide bomber detonated his device at an Ariana Grande concert in the Manchester Arena, killing 22 people and injuring many more. The memories of that night are likely to stay with those who were there forever. But clinicians say, if people are still being adversely affected by trauma, they should seek additional support. Breakfasts Graham Satchell reports. That he is never far away, that he is neverfar away, really. Suddenly you catch yourself thinking, oh my gosh, martin would have loved this. It is a shame he isnt there. We are in saint ann s square in the centre of manchester. It became the focus of remembrance, where thousands of people left flowers. Murray lost her son martin in the attack. She has been a therapist for more than 20 years, but has decided she can no longer do herjob. I dont think with what happened to me that i will ever be ina happened to me that i will ever be in a position to offer psychological support to anybody else, because i think i am so damaged through this. She meeting 18 year old caitlin. On the night of the attack, caitlin was knocked off her feet by the force of the blast, but escaped without physical injury. She became withdrawn, started having nightmares, and is now seeing a counsellor. It wasnt until a few weeks, i would say, after, where it really hit me, where the guilt at me. The guilt, tommy a bit more about that. Managed to walk out without a mark on. Obviously there are people who lost their lives, you have nightmares and flashbacks . Yes, all the time. I have nightmares about people, about violence, about obviously people trying to blow me up. Shias obviously suffering from survivors guilt. A lot of martins friends had that as well, and with the help of therapy, obviously it is helping her to kind of normalised that feeling. This is the manchester resilience hub. It is co ordinating Services Specifically for people caught up in the attack. It is about 12 weeks now since the attack. Is that the sort of time you are talking about, where people have many to access help . Yes, we view 12 weeks period, post incident, as a significant milestone. If you are still exhibiting sips symptoms at the 12 week point, they are probably not going to resolve without some kind of help for intervention. The hub is helping more than 200 people accessed psychological support. But they want everyone who need help to come forward. She hasnt had any counselling herself, but has decided she will get help. I have decided i needed, because like so many people and damage to some extent. Back in saint ann s square, the sea of flowers from well wishers has all but gone. The pain, the memory, will never go. But with the right help, the hope is that life will become easierfor the hope is that life will become easier for those left behind. And we should say a big thank you to the mother of martin, for speaking to us for that report. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. The Dartford Crossing is being accused of showing britain to be soft and stupid when it comes to unpaid fines, afterforeign drivers racked up over £80 million of debt since the crossing became cashless. A leading motoring lawyer, nick freeman, says it sends out a bad message, while highways england claim non payment was being followed up both in the uk and abroad, although they wouldnt release more detailed figures, arguing it could prejudice the effective operation of the dart charge. That has left toll payers angry. If you are based in the uk, and you are using the crossing regularly, and you are paying for it, it seems wholly unfair that there are other people who are getting away without paying, purely because their vehicles are not registered in the uk. Free wi fi is coming to residents on the lowest incomes in tower hamlets, courtesy of the council, after it approved a plan for Broadband Availability in town centres and social housing. Free digital training will also be given to ensure more families have access to Online Support services and opportunities. Tower Hamlets Council says nearly a quarter of residents living on low incomes dont have access to wi fi, with the figure even higher among the elderly and disabled. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. There is a good service on the tubes this morning. A look at the roads, and on the m25, the Dartford Crossing has Traffic Building up, while the qeii bridge is flowing well. In islington, upper street remains closed southbound from Liverpool Road to city road. It will be like that until november. And in westminster, whitehall remains closed southbound from horse guards avenue to parliament square, for roadworks. Lets have a check on the weather now, with georgina. Good morning. It is a misty, murky start to the day for many of us. It should be largely dry for much of the day, though. It may feel a little damp in the air in some spots this morning because of the low cloud, but that breaks up fairly early on to give us some brightness and even sunny spells, so after lunch feeling quite pleasant with just a light easterly breeze and temperatures getting up to about 2425dc. Now, mitterrand in the afternoon you can see there are one or two showers coming through but i think most of us should mist those altogether, and they die away overnight. It is another monkey, potentially uncomfortable one to come, im afraid, in some spots not dropping below the 18 celsius. Some that mist and fog developing, so we start off the day tomorrow with a similar picture. But again it is going to be waking up with bright and even sunny spells developing in the afternoon, temperatures getting up the afternoon, temperatures getting up to 2a25dc, a bit more of westerly breeze tomorrow. Now, thursday is going to be feeling fresher, so we lose that humidity of it. And it is looking largely dry, with some sunny spells. Friday there are one or two showers around, and then saturday looks a day of sunshine and showers the start of the bank holiday, but it could potentially go downhill monday. And if you are driving past green park this week, dont be surprised if you see some sheep. They are not lost, they are helping the flowers to grow. I will be back in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and dan walker. Its 6 30.

Theyre the best loved comedy duo of all time, but a new book on stan laurel tells the tale of the complicated love lives behind the laughs. Well speak to the author after 9 00. All that still to come. But now a summary of this mornings main news. President trump says the us will fight to win in afghanistan, as he unveiled a new strategy in the war against the taliban. In a major speech last night he said that he had changed his mind about withdrawing troops from the country. He also called on nato allies to do more as he lifted the cap on the number of us troops in afghanistan and said there was no timeline for bringing them home. Our troops will fight to win. We will fight to win. From now on, victory will have a clear definition. Attacking our enemies, obliterated in isis, crushing alqaeda, preventing the calibre and from taking over afghanistan, and stopping mass terror attacks against america before they emerge. Preventing the taliban from taking over. Lets get more on this from our correspondent secunder kermani, whojoins us from the Afghan Capital kabul. What has been the reaction there . Obviously the situation on the ground is something donald trump is determined to tackle. As you say, there has been a steady deterioration of the security situation in afghanistan over the last couple of years. Last year almost three and a half thousand civilians lost their lives as a result of the violence. The government here controls just around 60 of territory. There had been concerns that if there were to be a com plete concerns that if there were to be a complete withdrawal of american forces, that could end up loosing the taliban. Instead it seems President Trump has committed to ensuring that the taliban do not ta ke ensuring that the taliban do not take over afghanistan, and that has been welcomed by the Afghan Government. At the moment we are still waiting for the afghan president to give a press conference that he should be doing any moment now, really, to set out his response. I have been speaking to a former head of the afghan army. He told me he thought this was a very positive development and it would help improve security in afghanistan. Help improve security in afg ha nista n. Lots of help improve security in afghanistan. Lots of us guns are also welcoming the strong words President Trump had four prakasam. Lots of President Trump had four prakasam. Lots of afg ha ns. President trump had four prakasam. Lots of afghans. He accused pakistan of providing safe haven for the taliban. Pakistan has always denied that, but this has been an accusation that the International Community has long made against pakistan. It now remains to be seen whether President Trump can affect any change in pakistans relationship with the taliban and whether that improves the prospects of peace in afghanistan. Thank you.

There was another milestone for wayne rooney, as the everton striker scored his 200th goal in the premier league, scoring in the 1 1 draw at Manchester City last night.

We had our combinations mapped out for all of the games, and it was to culminate to get into this stage now, and this is about putting in the best 23 that you feel are right for the job, the best 23 that you feel are right for thejob, and the best 23 that you feel are right for the job, and if the best 23 that you feel are right for thejob, and if you the best 23 that you feel are right for the job, and if you feel it is the right 23 for the next one you put them out again. If you dont, you make changes. Simple as that. We dont even need to think about the next game until we get through here. This is going to be huge and that is what we are focused on. And finally, weve seen some great younger hockey players in recent days, but what about the older generation . Heres englands peter ross scoring a cracking goal at the over 755 grand masters european cup. What a double act he is moving thanks to that goal england progressed to the final, and if they can beat the netherlands later today theyll be crowned european cup champions. Shall ijust remind you, that is the over 75 is hockey. 755. Shall ijust remind you, that is the over 75 is hockey. 75s. You never lose it. I think there is hope for all of us, perhaps. Some more than others. We will get the weather with carol ina we will get the weather with carol in a moment. In the last year or so, the terrorism threat in europe has changed, and escalated. Weve seen low tech, difficult to defend knife attacks on popular locations, vehicles driven into crowds, and attacks using guns and explosives. So what can the authorities do to prevent attacks like the one in barcelona last week . Joining us from our london studio is chris phillips, former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security office. Good morning, thank you for your time. It appears, good morning, thank you for your time. Itappears, the good morning, thank you for your time. It appears, the letters that we know, is that police have killed or arrested all of the members of this carousel. The latest that we know. Terror cell. What is the priority now, moving forward . They have to build a case against the people that they have still alive, and also, lets not forget, this is and also, lets not forget, this is a very large group of people that Intelligence Services in spain appear not to have known too much about. That is a real worry. I think right across europe they will be looking at this with some trepidation. How many other groups like this are out there . How many other people has this imam infected with radicalisation. Worrying times, andi with radicalisation. Worrying times, and i think there is also the issue, on this occasion, that the threat level, really, the threat picture has really stepped up a gear, with the fact that they were going to use vehicle bombs. That is the scary thing. We have seen that use of explosives in the past. Why do you say that is a step up, because of the scale of it . It is a massive step up. I think governments and Police Services need to look at this with trepidation. Because what we see with a vehicle bombs is immense damage. Absolutely immense damage. Huge loss of life, if they are successful. Of course, this group fully intended, it appears, to arm up fully intended, it appears, to arm up three vehicles, three vehicles put into the right location, which could actually bring buildings down. We have seen that across the world. If you think back to manchester in 1996, a very big on decimated the city. That one was an ira bomb, and of course the ira gave us a warning. Isis and these kinds of people will not give us warnings. If this is the case, and you are right, and this is a game changer, how do we protect public spaces and places like us alone, the pedestrian area of las ramblas, where this vehicle drove down and could have had a bomb in it . Down and could have had a bomb in it . Public spaces and places like barcelona. We started doing this work and the uk, identifying iconic sites and putting protection in. We must not think there is anything like 100 security. Absolutely is not. In fact, all that you can do at these events is reduce the number of casualties. But you should do that. Asimple casualties. But you should do that. A simple point, actually, is that in an explosion, 90 of the people are injured or killed by flying glass. But you can protect against glass. You can put film on it, you can change it to laminated glass, so fewer people are injured. This terrorism threat has taken a step up with this group in barcelona, and also, we know for a fact now, really, that this terrorism threat will be with us for many years to come. Now is the time that companies, businesses, but also Police Forces and governments need to spend money protecting crowded places. There are things that you can do, to keep people await to keep vehicles away from crowds. Interesting points. Thank you. Carol has the weather now, and shes got sheep with her, right in the heart of london. You are really excited about the sheep. I love sheep. Would you like a sheep fact now . No thanks. Laughter. Right, 0k. Get on with it, then. Do it in your own time. Good morning from green park in london. You are quite right, i have got some lovely girls with me this morning. You can see them behind me here. Various different breeds, and some more over here. They have very groovy names, too. This is as morale by. Right next to her we have olivia. And just behind olivia we have juniper. The reason they are here is because the royal parks are raising at running a grazing trial. Basically, thatis running a grazing trial. Basically, that is to help detect and in courage growth in this particular pa rt of courage growth in this particular part of green park. Protect and encourage. Various breeds of sheep will eat more dominant grasses and plants, allowing the space for different plants to grow up. And they trample the seeds back in, so we see further growth developing. The sheep are controlled by neighbours. Look at this little dog, this little terrier. What a clever girl you are. She is tiny, and the sheep are so big. I am very impressed with your skills. The weather is not quite so impressive this morning. Cloudy and stamp this morning. Across many parts of the country it is a murky start. Low cloud and some fog around as well. It will brighten up later on. Looking at the uk as a whole, we have rain across scotland, drifting north east. Behind it, allthis cloud is beginning to break up. Showers coming across South West England, drifting into the west midlands, and also in and across parts of wales. The heaviest showers will be across Northern Ireland as we go through the afternoon. Speaking of the afternoon, the cloud building ahead of those showers in western scotland, there will be one to make heavy showers across the grampians, but the murray firth and southern scotland will see brighter skies. Showers across southern england, turning thundery later. The further south you go, the drier the weather. One of two showers, that is all. The cloud continuing to break. South west england and wales could hit highs of 26 or 27 today. So lots of sunshine this afternoon, one of two showers in wales, especially in the north. If you follow that line through you can see that the rain that we are looking at why then will be hitting Northern Ireland. Some of that will be heavy. As we go through the course of the evening and overnight, that rain in Northern Ireland pushes into scotland and Northern England. This is when it is likely to be heavy and thundery. We can still see one or two showers across wales, but for most of us it will be dry. A cold night, with a range of temperatures between 14 and 17 celsius. It will still feel humid, rather like it does today. As we begin the day tomorrow, we have that rain across scotland and Northern England, continuing to sweep north east through the course of the day. Behind it, brighterand fresher conditions come in. The other end of that line of rain is really a band of cloud moving across Eastern England and east anglia. Before it moves across it will still be quite warm and humid. As it pushes through, the fresher air pushes through, the fresher air pushes in for all of us and we will have a sunny end to the day. On thursday, we see a north and south split. In the north it will be wet and in the south it will be dry. Fresher conditions, and more comfortable, with temperatures getting up to about 23 degrees. So thatis getting up to about 23 degrees. So that is how it is looking here in london at green park. If you want to come and see the sheep, they are here until we get to sunday. Mavis is back inside me as well. Dan, now you can get on with your sheep facts. No interest in sheep, thank you. She is there with mavis, absolutely smitten. What a gorgeous dog. Ford is the latest carmaker to offer drivers cash to trade in their old cars for new, less polluting models. Steph can tell us more. Good morning. Yes, good morning to you both. This is a lot to do with air quality and trying to make it a lot clea ner air quality and trying to make it a lot cleaner when we are driving on things, because there are so many ca is things, because there are so many cars on the roads. The government has been under pressure to improve air quality since it emerged that the uk regularly breached eu air pollution levels. This july, the government published its clean air strategy, laying out plans to spend £3 billion in bringing air pollution levels down. It included plans to ban the sale of new diesel and petrol cars from 2040. Diesel cars in particular have emerged as the biggest source of harmful nitrogen dioxide, which can raise the risk of strokes, heart attacks and asthma attacks. The number of diesel vehicles on britains roads has risen from 3. 2 million in 2000 to more than 10 million today. The government wants to get that number down, and for more of us to swap older, polluting cars for more efficient models. But they stopped short of including a nationwide scrappage scheme for old diesel cars in their plans announced injuly, a move that was criticised by environmentalists. They are Still Deciding whether they will introduce this, with a decision expected this autumn. That has left the car industry to step in and offer their own incentives. Today, ford is offering between £2,000 and £7,000 for customers to scrap any diesel or petrol car with euro five pollution limits registered before the end of 2009, if they buy a new ford car or transit van. They follow similar incentive schemes to trade in older diesel and petrol cars from vauxhall, bmw, and mercedes benz. Vw are also considering introducing a scrappage scheme for older diesels in the uk. Jim holder is with me, from whatcar, to make sense of it all. What are your thoughts on this . £2000 is a decent amount of money, but if you are buying a new car it probably isnt that much, is it . |j think it is great that britains largest carmaker is trying to do something positive but you have to consider whether the owner of a car worth £2000 or less has the wherewithal to go into a 12,000 pound car moving forward. There are other ways of purchasing, that ford can offer, and you can finance it, but you have to wonder about the potential 90 Million People who are in these cars, and how many could afford to make the leap and how many would look to a new car rather than a newer use the car. And also this is for any a newer use the car. And also this is forany car a newer use the car. And also this is for any car by any manufacturer which is seven years or older. Cars at seven years old could probably be worth more than 2000 pounds as well. Absolutely, i think people need to do their homework on both sides, really, because we recommend that people haggle, and they haggle quite hard. You have to take that into consideration, but also your trade in is often worth at least £2000. If an average family car is around seven yea rs £2000. If an average family car is around seven years old, it would be worth more like £5,000. So you need to do your homework. And clearly some people will benefit if they have ca rs some people will benefit if they have cars older than that in worth a lot less. How does this compare with what we have heard from the other manufacturers . A slight differences. Some of the manufacturers, bmw and mercedes, are focused on swapping ca rs mercedes, are focused on swapping cars the low emission ones. Ford and vauxhall are focusing on different ones. They all have the same aim and an offer ofa ones. They all have the same aim and an offer of a discount at the end of it. Now, i started this by saying it is all about it. Now, i started this by saying it is allaboutair it. Now, i started this by saying it is all about air quality, a lot of this is about selling new cars, as well, isnt it . They have seen sales dipped recently. Absolutely, they have been running along at record levels and that level has come down in recent months. So they are keen to sell more cars, but they are also keen to put a positive message out there since the vw diesel gate scandal. They have been impacted by a lot of negative headlines and this is one way to state that they do have low emissions offerings out there today. Dont wait, we do have ca rs there today. Dont wait, we do have cars in our showrooms now. And that is important, to try and get that level of emissions down. And we are going to be talking to the boss of ford in about one hours time. The total Solar Eclipse which wowed the United States on monday actually began more than 800 miles from its shores, in a desolate spot over the North Pacific ocean. A handful of lucky passengers, including media, scientists and employees of Alaska Airlines, got the chance to see the spectacle before anyone else. They watched in awe from a boeing 737 sent to chase the moons shadow at 40,000 feet. Our north america correspondent james cook was on board. As the day dawned, the chase was on. The moon was after the sun, and we were on the tail of both. From portland, in the North Western state of oregon, the flight dubbed solar one struck out across the pacific. By the time we arrived, 800 miles from the shore, our satellite was already taking a chunk out of our star. Ten, nine, eight, seven. And, as the moment of totality drew close, time itself seemed to speed up. Oh, my god totality, totality its such an incredibly breathtaking express. Words dont do itjustice, and neither do pictures or video, or anything. Its just incredible to witness, really it is. Its just amazing. How was that . It was amazing. It was more beautiful than anything i could have imagined. It was diverse in colour and density, and it wasjust amazing. Just too short, reallyjust too short. Jasmine shepherd and her brother were the envy of their fellow americans, having won a competition to see the eclipse fully 15 minutes before the rest of the world. Were so lucky to have viewed the spectacular event. Were in awe, and humbled and grateful. It was a great experience, and everybody on board was so excited. And the countdown to totality was very cool, so we were very excited. God is good, thats all i can say, god is good. That was a breathtaking moment, but it was over in a flash. The shadow is now reaching towards the United States, where millions more are watching and waiting. But only those on board could save that they were the first to see the spectacle, from a front row seat in the theatre of the heavens. James cooke, bbc news, above the pacific ocean. You will remember that yesterday we were telling you that bonnie tyler was going to sing on board a cruise ship performing her classic total eclipse of the heart. Well, here it is. Once upon a time, there was light in my life. Now there is only love in the dark. Nothing i can say. Total eclipse of the heart. Come on whoo i cant believe they are more interested in the actual eclipse. That was just ridiculous, how awful how do you it is great to have a belly laugh, but what makes the perfectjoke . We will be bringing you the funniest one linerfrom the Edinburgh Fringe later in the programme. But for now, lets hear some of the ones you have sent in. How does the man in the moon cut his hair . Eclipse it. This one is from stewpot, in blackpool. My best mate bought his last car off bonnie tyler. Most of the time its ok, but every now and then it falls apart. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news, im asad ahmad. The Dartford Crossing is being accused of showing britain to be soft and stupid when it comes to unpaid fines, afterforeign drivers racked up over £80 million of debt since the crossing became cashless. A leading motoring lawyer, nick freeman, says it sends out a bad message, while highways england claim non payment was being followed up both in the uk and abroad, although they wouldnt release more detailed figures, arguing it could prejudice the effective operation of the dart charge. That has left toll payers angry. If youre based in the uk, and youre using the crossing regularly, and youre paying for it, it seems wholly unfair that there are other people that are getting away without paying, purely because their vehicles arent registered in the uk. Free wi fi is coming to residents on the lowest incomes in tower hamlets, courtesy of the council, after it approved a plan for Broadband Availability in town centres and social housing. Free digital training will also be given to ensure more families have access to Online Support services and opportunities. Tower Hamlets Council says nearly a quarter of residents living on low incomes dont have access to wi fi, with the figure even higher among the elderly and disabled. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. There is a good service on the tubes this morning. A look at the roads, and on the m25, the Dartford Crossing has Traffic Building up, while the qeii bridge is flowing well. In islington, upper street remains closed southbound from Liverpool Road to city road. It will be like that until november. And in westminster, whitehall remains closed southbound from horse guards avenue to parliament square, for roadworks. Lets have a check on the weather now, with georgina. Good morning. It is a misty, murky start to the day for many of us. Should be largely dry for much of the day, though. It may feel a little damp in the air in some spots this morning, because of the low cloud. But that breaks up fairly early on, to give us some brightness and even sunny spells. So after lunch, actually, feeling quite pleasant, with just a light easterly breeze, and temperatures getting up to about 24 or 25 degrees celsius. Now, later on in the afternoon, you can see there are one or two showers coming through, but i think most of us should miss those altogether, and they die away overnight. It is another muggy, potentially uncomfortable one to come, im afraid, in some spots not dropping below 18 degrees celsius. Some of that mist and fog developing. So we start off the day tomorrow with a similar picture. But again, it is going to be breaking up, with bright and even sunny spells developing in the afternoon. Temperatures getting up to 24 or 25 degrees celsius. A bit more of westerly breeze tomorrow. Now, thursday is going to be feeling fresher, so we lose that humidity a bit, and it is looking largely dry, with some sunny spells. Friday there are one or two showers around, and then saturday looks a day of sunshine and showers to start off the bank holiday, but it could potentially go downhill monday. And Vanessa Feltz will be looking at why only three london boroughs managed to achieve their recycling targets. Bexley is at the top of the list. Hello, this is breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and dan walker. President trump announces a new strategy to take on the taliban in afghanistan.

I am good morning from green park in london. Iam here good morning from green park in london. I am here with these lovely ladies, a rare breed of sheep. It is the First Time Since the 1930s green park has had sheep. Why are they here . I will tell you park has had sheep. Why are they here . Iwill tell you in 15 park has had sheep. Why are they here . I will tell you in 15 minutes. A cloudy and murky start to the day, with drizzle around and rain crossing scotland. It will brighten up, and forsome crossing scotland. It will brighten up, and for some people it will be quite warm and humid. Heavier rain moving in across Northern Ireland, western scotland and Northern England later on. I will have more details in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. President trump says the us will fight to win in afghanistan, as he unveils a new strategy in the war against the taliban. In a major speech last night he said that he had changed his mind about withdrawing troops from the country. He also called on nato allies to do more. Our washington correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports. The man who always said he didnt want to intervene abroad came to announce the intervention in afghanistan is going to ratchet up. He said it was for the right reasons. We are not nationbuilding again. We are killing terrorists. He announced the lifting of a cap on the number of us troops in afghanistan, and that there would be no time limit on them staying there. My original instinct was to pull out, and historically, i like following my instincts. But all my life, ive heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the oval office. A very different donald trump to the one who said this kind of thing right through the obama years. And that is the basis on which he campaigned as a president ial candidate, that he wouldnt spend American Resources abroad, but here at home. He says he now realises that pulling out american troops from afghanistan would leave a vacuum for militants. But it will be a disappointment to many of his supporters. This will mean there is still no end in sight for americas longest war. In a few minutes well be talking to a washington columnist about americas reaction. Four men accused of being part of a terror cell which killed 15 people in spain last week are due to appear in court in madrid this morning. The suspects arrived at a jailjust outside of the city last night. Police in catalonia say they shot dead the suspected driver of the van which ploughed into pedestrians in barcelona on thursday. Younes abouyaaqoub was found hiding in a vineyard 30 miles west of the city. The us navy has ordered a worldwide operational pause of its fleet after a destroyer collided with a tanker near singapore, leaving 10 sailors missing. 5 other sailors were injured in the incident involving the guided missile destroyer ussjohn s mccain. It was the Fourth Us Navy ship to crash this year, and the second in the past two months. At least one person has died and at least 25 people injured after an earthquake hit the italian island of ischia in southern italy. The tourists and residents ran into the streets as buildings collapsed when the quake hitjust before 9pm local time. Mark lobel reports. The earthquake struckjust as local families and tourists on the Holiday Island sat down for dinner. Houses were flattened. People were evacuated from buildings, including the local hospital. One woman was killed when rubble fell from a church. At least 20 other people were injured. Ischia is an hours ferry ride from naples, and lies about seven miles from the epicentre of the earthquake. The islands northern town of casamicciola was the worst hit. In the village, firemen located a baby trap beneath the rubble. After a delicate operation, a welcome sound. Baby crying. Some firemen were already on the island to deal with wildfires. Others flew in. Italys Beautiful Islands are a draw for visitors, but unfortunately in an area prone to seismic activity, they can often cost lives. After this latest earthquake, one resident said it looked like a bomb had hit. Ford is the latest car maker to offer incentives to uk drivers to scrap their old cars for a new, less polluting vehicle. Steph can tell us more about the deal . Quite a few car makers have already done this. Yes. Car makers, and also the government, are under pressure to improve air quality in the country because there is an increasing number of cars on the road. It is diesel cars in particular which have faced the most criticism. The number of those has increased a lot. Something like 3. 2 million in the year 2000, to 10 million in the year 2000, to 10 million today. So there has certainly been an increase in diesel ca rs certainly been an increase in diesel cars and that is a big concern. So far we have not have the government introduce any type of scrappage scheme, so the carmakers have taken it up on themselves. Ford is the latest manufacturer to announce that it is going to be running a scheme where you can trade in your car, which is seven years or older, for £2000 off one of their new cars. That sounds like a good deal if your car is worth £2000 or less, but not so great if you have a car that is seven so great if you have a car that is seve n yea rs so great if you have a car that is seven years old and worth more than that, because you might get more money selling it yourself. So there are some criticisms, but it is great to hear that companies are looking at how we can improve air quality. I will be speaking to the boss of ford later in the programme, because as you say, they are not the only car manufacturer doing this. We have heard from vauxhall, who had a similar scheme for diesel and petrol ca rs. Similar scheme for diesel and petrol cars. Ford are also includes in diesel and petrol cars. Including. And we have the likes of bmw, which has introduced a scrappage schemejust bmw, which has introduced a scrappage scheme just for diesel ca rs. Scrappage scheme just for diesel cars. If you are buying a new car and you have an older car, it is worth seeing if this is something you could benefit from. A big change in the industry. Thank you. The former chancellor, george osborne, has called on theresa may to commit to building a high speed rail line across the north of england. As the chairman of the Northern Powerhouse partnership, mr osborne has written in the Financial Times that more money needs to be spent on public transport outside of london. The government has said it is investing billions of pounds across the north. For the first time in almost a century, a total Solar Eclipse has swept across america. Millions of people watched as the moon passed in front of the sun casting a deep shadow more than 60 miles wide across earth. Our science correspondent pallab ghosh joined the sky watchers in oregon. They came in their tens of thousands, like pilgrims, to the tiny town of madras. They came to witness one of natures great spectacles. It is a quarter past ten in the morning but it seems like night time. We are just a few seconds away from the total eclipse and the moon has almost completely covered the sun. It looks like a smiley face in the sky. The sun dims to an eerie pale light. Up above, a thin smile in the sky. And then a flash. A diamond ring. And then the moon blocks the suns bright disc. Its atmosphere, normally washed away by the solar light, now appears as a halo around the moon. It seems like a shimmering black pearl, hanging in the sky. This was definitely something you have to see in person. Its something that you cant describe. The eclipse crossed the entire us ten states, a distance of 2,500 miles, injust 90 minutes. From coast to coast, it seemed everybody was interested. For two incredible minutes, the tiny town became the centre of the universe, as those here became the first in america to witness one of the great wonders of the solar system. What are you think has been the nations favourite toy of the past 100 years . It is going to be a debate, isnt it . I can sense it bubbling away. I am a big fan of fuzzy felt, but you are a lego girl. Remember spirograph . That was brilliant. Hours and hours of pictures going around and around. No, spirograph was not that. You are thinking of etcher sketch. Etch a sketch. Thinking of etcher sketch. Etchasketch. What was the other thing i was thinking of . When you act things out . Sherrard s. Charades. Anyway, the royal mail has had a go, and is picking out some of the nations favourite toys for a set of commemorative stamps. The royal mail said it chose those toys to their enduring appeal. Karawatha of the weather later on, she is with some sheep. Carol will have. Today marks three months since a suicide bomber detonated his device as an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena. It killed 22 people and injured many more. Memories of that night are likely to stay with those who were there forever, but medical experts say that if people are still suffering from that trauma, at this point they should seek additional support. The tears are never far away, really. Suddenly you catch yourself thinking, oh, my gosh, martin would have loved this. Its a shame he isnt there. We are in saint anns square, in the centre of manchester. It became the focus of remembrance, where thousands of people left flowers. Figen and Stuart Murray lost their son martyn hett in the attack. Shes been a therapist for more than 20 years, but has decided she can no longer do herjob. I dont think, with what happened to me, that i will ever be in a position to offer psychological support to anybody else, because i think i am so damaged through this. She is meeting 18 year old kaitlin. On the night of the attack, kaitlin was knocked off her feet by the force of the blast, but escaped without physical injury. She became withdrawn, started having nightmares, and is now seeing a counsellor. It wasnt until a few weeks, i would say, after, where it really hit me, where the guilt at me. The guilt tell me a bit more about that. I managed to walk out without a mark on. Obviously there are people who lost their lives. You have nightmares and flashbacks . Yes, all the time. I have nightmares about people about violence, about obviously people trying to blow me up. Shes obviously suffering from survivors guilt. A lot of martyns friends had that, as well. And with the help of therapy, obviously its helping her to kind of normalise that feeling. This is the manchester resilience hub. It is co ordinating Services Specifically for people caught up in the attack. It is about 12 weeks now since the attack. Is that the sort of time you are talking about, where people here may need to access help . Yes, we view the 12 weeks period, post incident, as a significant milestone. If you are still exhibiting symptoms at the 12 week point, they are probably not going to resolve without some kind of help or intervention. The hub is helping more than 200 people access psychological support, but they want everyone who needs help to come forward. Figen hasnt had any counselling herself, but has decided she will get help. I have decided i need it, because like so many people, im damaged, to some extent. Back in saint anns square, the sea of flowers from well wishers has all but gone. The pain, the memory, will never go. But, with the right help, the hope is that life will become easier for those left behind. If you were directly affect to buy that attack at Manchester Arena and you think you might need help from the manchester resilience hub, you can the manchester resilience hub, you ca n co nta ct the manchester resilience hub, you can contact your gp, your local therapy service, or call nhs 111. You are watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories this morning President Trump has announced his new strategy for the war in afghanistan, and hinted he is prepared to send more troops to fight the taliban. Ford has become the latest car manufacturer to offer customers incentives to get rid of their old car or van in exchange for a new, less polluting vehicle. And carol is here with this mornings weather. She is out and about with some rare breeds of sheep in londons green park. Carol would not let you give her your sheep facts. But there is such huge demand. And this is handy, bearing in mind where the sheep are. Did you know they have a field of vision of around 300 degrees, which means they can actually see behind them without turning their heads . In actualfact, them without turning their heads . In actual fact, they are looking at you now. Thank you for that, moving swiftly on. Good morning from green park in london. Look at these beautiful girls behind me. A lovely flock of rare breed sheep. The reason we are here this morning someone reason we are here this morning someone who knows about the reason were here this is alice. Thanks to support from the postcode lottery, we have been able to launch mission support, protecting the invertebrates who lived in a park, all the animals who do not have a backbone, which is in fact over 90 of the known animals in the world. That is a lot. Why do you want to protect them, if they are so many . They are so important for our ecosystems. They are pollinators, they help break down our waste, and they help break down our waste, and they are vital parts of the food chain, as well. What are the sheep doing here . Because they are not a rare breed, what are they doing here this morning . So this is one of our wildflower meadows, and we have brought the sheep into grays it and improve the bio diversity of the vegetation, which will help encourage a wider variety of invertebrates into the park. So the rare breed sheep are able to graze the rough vegetation which is here, leaving space for growth, and they also trample the seeds into the ground. This is the first Conservation Grazing trial in rural parks. It is becoming an increasingly option. We have other wildflower meadows, so i would love to see it rolled out if it is successful. Is there any way we can get involved in it, as the public . We have been running Citizen Science projects and we have had a giant snail rolling around london throughout the School Holidays doing a Family Programme with stories and activities about invertebrates and we have a few more dates at the end of the holidays and half term. And other sheep here 44 7 . No, they are other sheep here 44 . No, they are london commuters, so they are dealing with the rush hour traffic. They go back to their farm at night. Thank you forjoining us, and getting up so early. There are lots of beasties flying around. We are being eaten alive, they are loving us as being eaten alive, they are loving us as well. The weather has not been particularly kind. To many parts of the uk, the forecast today is a cloudy, murky start, but it will brighten up later on, and we should see some sunshine. Some parts of central, southern england and wales could see temperatures as high as 26 or 27 celsius. But there is some rain in the forecast. If we take a look at the charts we have some rain moving across parts of scotland at the moment, increasingly turning patchy. There is quite a bit of cloud around, some fog around as well, but already some breaks across parts of the midlands and wales. We are looking at showers coming across South West England, also in through wales, and they will become more organised as they push into Northern Ireland, especially through the course of the afternoon, where they will turn quite heavy. At the same time the cloud will build ahead of them into scotland and Northern England. So this afternoon in scotla nd england. So this afternoon in scotland we will have some heavy showers around, but equally there will be some breaks in the cloud, around the murray firth, the southern up lines, and here we could see highs up to 20 celsius. The showers coming in later. For Northern England you will see the cloud ilves, some showers arriving. Later they will be heavy and thundery. As we comes out into the midlands, east anglia, heading down towards kent, southern counties of england, again there will be variable amounts of cloud but equally there will be some sunshine around as well. For wales you will see one or two showers, but Northern Ireland seeing a fair bit of rain. The showers seem to have romped off, soi the showers seem to have romped off, so i will tell you what is happening tonight. We have the rain pushing steadily out of Northern Ireland, in the Northern England, and also into scotland. Some of that will be heavy, some of that will be thundery. We will also see some showers across wales, but it will be another humid night, temperatures falling to between 14 and 17 celsius. Tomorrow, wednesday, we will have that rain moving across scotland, continuing pushing into north easterly direction, moving across Northern England, and then cloud across eastern parts of england. Behind that it will be brighter. There will be some pressure conditions coming in but it will still be humid in the south east. By the time we get to thursday, north, south split. Rain in the north, brighter in the south, but by then we will all be in some pressure conditions, with highs by then up to about 23 celsius. So that is how it is looking here in london. From me, alice, and the beasties, back to you in the studio. |j from me, alice, and the beasties, back to you in the studio. I have another sheep fact for you later on. Save yourself. Cant wait. Genuine disappointment from carol kirkwood. I have never seen carol looks so disappointed. Shall we take a look at the papers . Lots of bake off news. Journalists have had a preview, havent they, of the first episode. Will be talking about the new programme on channel 4. Prue leeds, one of the centres, might get into a little bit of trouble for this presenters. She is saying to viewers fast forward through the adverts, so recorded and fast forward through the advertising, because that is what has led to complaints, with big fans saying it has interrupted their watching the rising of the cakes. And the sun says there will be record length for ad breaks, which is maybe what she was talking about. The front page of the times, loads of pictures on the front pages of the Solar Eclipse, which was available to view across 14 states in america with the right pairof 14 states in america with the right pair of glasses, of course. The main story is Something Else we are dealing with this morning, the us demand afghan troop boost on the back of Donald Trumps speech last night. That is what we will turn our attention to right now on the programme. Donald trump has said the us will fight to win in afghanistan as he laid out a new path forward for the United States in the country. It is the latest development in a conflict that is now the longest in americas history. The war in afghanistan began almost 16 years ago with a Us Bombing Campaign in october 2001, one month after the 9 11 attacks. The uk joined the conflict in november 2001. The coalition claimed victory in december 2001, when the taliban was forced from its last stronghold in kandahar. But two years later, militant groups like the taliban had regrouped, and the Afghan Government now controls just under 60 of the country, with the rest either under the control of insurgents or still being fought over. The us currently has 8,400 troops in afghanistan. The uk has deployed about 500, providing security in kabul and Training Afghan forces. In a moment well find out what the reaction has been in afghanistan from our correspondent secunder kermani, but first lets get the uks response with our Political Correspondent iain watson. We have had comments from our defence secretary, we have been waiting for those in relation to what trump has said. The defence secretary has said he welcomes the approach taken by donald trump, the commitment to staying the course in afghanistan. Remember, of course, donald trump when he was a candidate rather than a president was describing the conflict there is a waste of time. He was talking about bringing troops back home, rebuilding america rather than afghanistan. This time he says he is not involved in nation building in afghanistan, at with killing terrorists, as he would see it. But there has been a commitment by the ministry of defence, and they are pleased that the president has reflected that. There was also a phone call between Michael Fallon and james mattis before donald trump spoke. He was the first nato leader the americans rang and they had a discussion about what should happen to rebuild the afghan democracy. As i understand it there is no specific request for more british troops. In fa ct request for more british troops. In fact there was an increase injune, to do the kind of work you were suggesting, including training afg ha n suggesting, including Training Afghan troops. Just over 500 british troops there at the moment so it is unlikely we will send more troops at this stage and the president himself did not box himself in or come up with a specific figure for any increase in the American Military in afghanistan, either. Our correspondent is in kabul. Much criticism of how little progress has been made since 2001. What is the reaction they are . Well, as you say, the security situation has been deteriorating over the past few yea rs. Last deteriorating over the past few years. Last year, for example, almost 3500 afghan civilians lost their lives because of the violence, and there had been concern here that if america were to completely withdraw the troops, even though most are not in active combat roles, thenit most are not in active combat roles, then it would have been a boost to then it would have been a boost to the taliban. As you say, the Afghan Government controls only about 60 of territory in the country. Insurgents, mainly the taliban, control about 10 and they contest about a third of the country. And so todays comments, the announcement by President Trump, has been welcomed by afghan leaders. We are waiting to hear from the afghan president , who is due to speak shortly, but i was speaking to the former head of the afghan army and he said that he thought this would bea he said that he thought this would be a positive development for peace in afghanistan. He welcomed the idea of more troops. Most people in afghanistan seemed to want the troops to play a kind of supporting, advisory role. They want to see afg ha n forces advisory role. They want to see Afghan Forces continue to take the lead on the battlefield. One other aspect of President Trumps announcement that has gone down quite well here has been his strong criticism of pakistan. The afghan Intelligence Services have long accused pakistan of sheltering and supporting the afghan taliban. President trump said that pakistan was providing safe haven for the taliban and some of the allied militant groups that work alongside it. So that is another aspect that has gone down quite well here, and people here will be waiting to see what kind of leverage President Trump can exert over pakistan. Pakistan, for a its part, has a lwa ys pakistan, for a its part, has always denied any role in supporting terrorist groups. Good to talk to you, good to hear the view from afghanistan, as well. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. A series of police raids have taken place across london in the run up to this weekends notting hill carnival. Scotland yard say officers have been targeting and disrupting gang crime, drug supply, knife crime and other offences that could impact on the safety of the event. Prior to this mornings raids, nearly 300 arrests have been made, during which knives and firearms were recovered. The Dartford Crossing is being accused of showing britain to be soft and stupid when it comes to unpaid fines, afterforeign drivers racked up over £80 million of debt since the crossing became cashless. A leading motoring lawyer, nick freeman, says it sends out a bad message, while highways england claim non payment was being followed up both in the uk and abroad, although they wouldnt release more detailed figures, arguing it could prejudice the effective operation of the dart charge. That has left toll payers angry. Free wi fi is coming to residents on the lowest incomes in tower hamlets, courtesy of the council, after it approved a plan for Broadband Availability in town centres and social housing. Free digital training will also be given to ensure more families have access to Online Support services and opportunities. Tower Hamlets Council says nearly a quarter of residents living on low incomes dont have access to wi fi, with the figure even higher among the elderly and disabled. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. There is a good service on the tubes this morning. A look at the roads, and on the m25, the Dartford Crossing has Traffic Building up while the qeii bridge is flowing well. And in islington, upper street remains closed southbound from Liverpool Road to city road. It will be like that until november. Lets have a check on the weather now, with georgina. Good morning. It is a misty, murky start to the day for many of us. Should be largely dry for much of the day, though. It may feel a little damp in the air in some spots this morning, because of the low cloud. But that breaks up fairly early on, to give us some brightness and even sunny spells. So after lunch, actually, feeling quite pleasant, with just a light easterly breeze, and temperatures getting up to about 24 or 25 degrees celsius. Now, later on in the afternoon, you can see there are one or two showers coming through, but i think most of us should miss those altogether, and they die away overnight. It is another muggy, potentially uncomfortable one to come, im afraid, in some spots not dropping below 18 degrees celsius. Some more of that mist and fog developing, so we start off the day tomorrow with a similar picture. But again, it is going to be breaking up, as bright and even sunny spells develop in the afternoon. Temperatures getting up to 24 or 25 degrees celsius. A bit more of westerly breeze tomorrow. Now, thursday is going to be feeling fresher, so we lose that humidity a bit, and it is looking largely dry, with some sunny spells. Friday there are one or two showers around, and then saturday looks like a day of sunshine and showers to start off the bank holiday, but it could potentially go downhill by monday. Thats it. Vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london, and in a few minutes, she will be looking at why only three london boroughs managed to achieve their recycling targets. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and dan walker. Its 7 30. President trump says the us will fight to win in afghanistan, as he unveiled a new strategy in the war against the taliban. In a major speech last night he said that he had changed his mind about withdrawing troops from the country. He also called on nato allies to do more as he lifted the cap on the number of us troops in afghanistan and said there was no timeline for bringing them home. Our troops will fight to win. We will fight to win. From now on, victory will have a clear definition. Attacking our enemies, obliterating isis, crushing alqaeda, preventing the taliban from taking over afghanistan, and stopping mass terror attacks against america before they emerge. Four men accused of being part of a terror cell which killed 15 people in spain last week are due to appear in court in madrid this morning. The suspects arrived at a jailjust outside of the city last night. Police in catalonia say they shot dead the suspected driver of the van which ploughed into pedestrians in barcelona on thursday. Younes abouyaaqoub was found hiding in a vineyard 30 miles west of the city. The carmaker ford is offering customers a cash incentive to scrap their old car in exchange for a new less polluting vehicle. The firm is the latest car manufacturer to come up with a scrappage scheme, which offers drivers two thousand pounds off a new ford if they trade in a petrol or diesel car or van thats over 7 years old. The scheme will run until the end of the year. Steph will have more on that in twenty minutes.

Millions of people turned out to see the first total Solar Eclipse to sweep across america in 99 years. The moon passed in front of the sun, casting a deep shadow more than 60 miles wide across earth. It began on the west coast of america above oregon, and in the space of abut 90 minutes swept across 13 states, ending in south carolina. Beautiful pictures, and thank you to all of you for sending in your shots as well. We will be speaking to some eclipse chasers on the programme, who we saw yesterday, and will be revisiting one today. They went to a Mountain Range in wyoming and showed us Mountain Range in wyoming and showed us their pictures, and it was as beautiful as they described it. Just stunning. When we saw somebody on the plane which was chasing the eclipse, you dont think of it, but they were talking about the different colours you see as well. You just think of it as black and white. People were saying yesterday how special it was, i suppose when you just see a photograph, you dont see the full range of colour, do you . Well be talking about that more later in the programme and carol have the weather for us. Sally has sport now. Yes, we are talking about one of englands most capped players, eni aluko, who has been on this Programme Many times. She has been speaking about what has been going on in her professional life over the past few months. Anti Racism Campaign group kick it out is calling for a comprehensive and independent review after an england footballer alleged she was dropped following claims of Racial Discrimination. Striker eni aluko accused manager mark sampson of making racial and prejudicial remarks. He and the fa have been cleared of any wrongdoing in both an fa review and an independent investigation. He asked me, you know, which Family Members, who is coming to watch the game for you . I said i have family coming in from nigeria, actually. I have family flying in. And hes said. Make sure they dont come over with ebola. Yeah. When that was said, did you challenge them at the time . Did you say that was a mix of the ball . Unacceptable. No, i laughed. I was in shock. I didnt know. I didnt know what to say. The fa says the ebola allegations were not investigated because aluko did not include them in herformal complaint. The player received a £80,000 settlement though a review concluded she had not been singled out. The fa said the settlement was made to avoid disrupting euro 2017. There was another milestone for wayne rooney, as the everton striker scored his 200th goal in the premier league, scoring in the 1 1 draw at Manchester City last night. He becomes only the second man to reach the landmark, after alan shearer. City were down to 10 men after kyle walker received two yellows, before Raheem Sterling equalised for the home side to ensure the match ended a point apiece. I am not surprised about this performance. I know the player, owner how eager he was to come back to everton, and he is showing that quality on the ball and the productivity of the player that he showed tonight, again, we are really happy that he is back. You are disappointed when you do not play what you are. Another great achievement by wayne rooney, receiving praise from his manager ronald koeman. He also received congratulations from the only man who has scored more premier league goals than him. Congratulations on reaching 200 and the league goals. A great achievement. Where have you been . The 200 club has been a lonely place over the last couple of years. Well done, im sure youve got more in you. Englands women are preparing for their Rugby World Cup semi final against france this evening. Lydia thompson will start on the wing, having recovered from a knee injury.

Breaking. The total Solar Eclipse which wowed the United States on monday actually began more than 800 miles from its 5hore5, in a desolate spot over the North Pacific ocean. A handful of lucky pa55enger5 including media, 5cienti5ts and employees of Alaska Airlines got the chance to see the spectacle before anyone else. They watched in awe from a boeing 737 which chased the moons shadow at 40,000 feet in the air. Our north america correspondent james cook was on board. As the day dawned, the chase was on. The moon was after the sun, and we were on the tail of both. From portland, in the North Western state of oregon, the flight dubbed solar one struck out across the pacific. By the time we arrived, 800 miles from the shore, our satellite was already taking a chunk out of our 5tar. Ten, nine, eight, seven. And, as the moment of totality drew close, time itself seemed to speed up. Oh, my god totality, totality. Its such an incredibly breathtaking expre55. Words dont do itju5tice, and neither do picture5 or video, or anything. Its just incredible to witness, really it is. Its just amazing. How was that . It was amazing. It was more beautiful than anything i could have imagined. It was diverse in colour and density, and it was just amazing. Just too short, reallyjust too short. Jasmine shepherd and her brother were the envy of their fellow americans, having won a competition to see the eclipse fully 15 minutes before the rest of the world. Were so lucky to have viewed the spectacular event. Were in awe, and humbled and grateful. It was a great experience, and everybody on board was so excited. And the countdown to totality was very cool, so we were very excited. God is good, thats all i can say, god is good. That was a breathtaking moment, but it was over in a flash. The shadow is now reaching towards the United States, where millions more are watching and waiting. But only those on board could save that they were the first to see the spectacle, from a front row seat in the theatre of the heavens. James cooke, bbc news, above the pacific ocean. Werejoined now richard friedman, who we spoke to yesterday as he prepared to fulfill a lifetimes ambition to see an eclipse. Richards 60 year wait finally came to end as he gathered with his family in idaho. Lets find out if it was worth it. Richard, welcome back. You are in a car, currently leaving with plenty of other eclipse chasers, 5tuck car, currently leaving with plenty of other eclipse chasers, stuck in all sorts of traffic. Thankfully, we cannot quite 5ee all sorts of traffic. Thankfully, we cannot quite see you, you are 5lightly eclipsed yourself, but what was it like . Ok. We left the hotel at five oclock this morning, we we re at five oclock this morning, we were afraid of traffic, and there was hardly any traffic. The eclipse was hardly any traffic. The eclipse was absolutely fantastic. It was an experience that was worth waiting for. It was on my bucket li5t year5 before there was ever anything called a bucket li5t. Before there was ever anything called a bucket list. And i have to tell you, you can see an eclipse on television, but it doesnt compare at all to experiencing it in person. It was just incredible. At all to experiencing it in person. It wasjust incredible. You said yesterday on the programme, you thought it might be quite an emotional experience, being down at the family. Wa5 emotional experience, being down at the family. Was it like that . |j emotional experience, being down at the family. Was it like that . I have to admit that i kind of dried in front of them a little bit. It was ju5t front of them a little bit. It was just that emotional. You know, you spend your whole life, you look up to the sky, you see the sun and and all of a sudden you see this Brilliant Diamond ring and glowing in the sky, and then the corona around the sun, and it is very dark. It goes from light to dark and back to light again, and the crowds of people go crazy, cheering. It is an emotional experience. It is an experience that is just incredibly beautiful, and it was everything. Ab5olutely. Even my wife said that it was incredible. So you know it was good. You said yesterday, your wife ta kes was good. You said yesterday, your wife takes some impressing. You have waited a long time to see this eclipse with your family. Is that enough for you . Will you go around the world to see it again now that you have experienced it . |j the world to see it again now that you have experienced it . I think so. Ido you have experienced it . I think so. I do not know if i am an eclipsejc yet, but having seen it and been so satisfied with it, definitely, yes. Eclipse cha5er yet. Everybody in ourfamily wa5 eclipse cha5er yet. Everybody in our family was extremely happy that we went. A great family event. My grandchildren will remember it forever. We were there with them to experience it, it meant a lot to us. We appreciate you coming back on the programme again today. Thank you very much. Richard freedman, one of tho5e eclipse chaser5 in america. If you are thinking about when the next one will be, there is going to be a big daddy, a total eclipse, on augu5t big daddy, a total eclipse, on august 12, big daddy, a total eclipse, on august12, 2045, which they say will be the most impressive in the creditor century. And this country,. Why . Because it is big, it is total. Anyway, the uk doe5 country,. Why . Because it is big, it is total. Anyway, the uk does not get one until 2090. I am not sure either of us will be around. No, im not sure. Thanks, down. Thats a nice feeling. Carol, you wont be around either. I was having a chat with bolivia, this lovely sheep. She is here with me in london this morning, in green park olivia. Tom is here as part of Mission Invertebrate. First of all, what is Mission Invertebrate . Well, it is a project which is trying to involve the vast range of invertebrates within the park. I am providing this flock of rare breed sheep, and we can serve them, along with the Rare Breeds Survival trust. Why are you using rare breeds . Well, the reason we use the rare breeds is they are a bit lighter footed and are more suited to grazing his wildflower meadows, whereas commercial sheep need a bit more tlc, and a bit of a less harsh environment. These breeds have been created on the wilds of the british countryside, not that we are in green park at the moment. Countryside, not that we are in green park at the momentlj countryside, not that we are in green park at the moment. I know there have not been sheep in green park since the 19305. How long will these girls be here . They will be here until sunday so hopefully they will have had a good munch on the dominant plant and grass species and will help to spread the seeds and a little bit of fertilising as they go. They are doing a grand job, i must say. Come on, olivia, lets have a look around here. Good girl. So you can actually see the lovely, big space that the sheep have. Olivia, stopped. She is very well trained. There are lots of beasties out this morning generally, because it isa out this morning generally, because it is a humid start to the day, and for many of us it is quite a cloudy start as well. It is murky, but it will brighten up later on. What we currently have is rain across scotland, and that rain will turn increasingly patchy as we go through the course of the day. A lot of cloud around, some fog as well but some bright skies already across parts of wales and the midlands. Through the day we will see some showers develop across South West England, for example, a few into wales, but they will start to get organised and turn heavier across Northern Ireland. By 4pm in the afternoon across scotland, a lot of dry weather. The cloud building from the west as the showers come in. Heavy showers from the grampians but murray further in the southern up lines will see a bit more sunshine. A few showers across Northern England. Some of those later will be heavy and thundery. As we come south into the midlands, east anglia, kent, essex, yorkshire and towards dorset, the cloud will break and it will feel quite muggy. Temperatures getting up locally across parts of wales and central and southern england to 26,27, wales and central and southern england to 26, 27, but wales and central and southern england to 26,27, but more generally 23 to 25. In wales you could catch a few showers, more especially in the north, and for Northern Ireland you will have showers setting in, some of them merging to give heavier spells of rain. As we go through the course of the evening and overnight, the rain in Northern Ireland transfers into scotla nd in Northern Ireland transfers into scotland and Northern England. Again, some of that, through the evening and particular, will be heavy and thundery. There will be quite a bit of cloud around, and temperatures falling to between 14 and 17 celsius. Tomorrow we start off with that rain in scotland and northern end, pushing north eastwards. The tail end of it across east of england will produce a fair bit of cloud around, and it will still be muggy across parts of eastern and south Eastern England. As the cloud moves away we will all be in fresher conditions, with some brightness coming through as well. As we head on into thursday we are looking at a north south split. In the north that is likely to be cloudy and wet. In the south it will be drier and brighter but then we will all be in fresher conditions, with a maximum temperature probably up with a maximum temperature probably up to about 23 celsius. There are certainly plenty of beasties around here this morning, i must say. We are being eaten alive and tickled as well by lovely olivia here. So maybe you have a few sheep fact now. |j have a question for you. I am keeping dan away from you with the fa cts. Keeping dan away from you with the facts. What i have a question for you. Why did the sheep call the police . I dont know. Because she had been fleeced. Naga, that is a shocker. Tell robert, he is the one who sent it in. I am just reading it out there is a reason for that terrible joke, though. We will be bringing you the funniest one linerfrom the Edinburgh Fringe later in the programme, but for now, lets hear some of the ones youve sent in. Ian has tweeted met van gogh in a pub. I said, do you want a pint . He said, no thanks, i have one ear. I like thatjoke. I have not got one here now, but steph has won. And finally ive just bought a fatboy slim sat nav. Its rubbish. The only instruction it ever gives is right here, right now what do you get if you cross an angry sheep with a moody cow . |j angry sheep with a moody cow . dont know. An animal in baaaad mood. Shall i give you some Business News instead . I mood. Shall i give you some Business News instead . I am better at that, lets be fair. Ford is the latest carmaker to offer incentives for uk drivers to scrap their old diesel cars for more environmentally friendly new models. Ford is offering customers a minimum of £2,000 off the value of a new car when they trade in their car which is at least seven years old. It follows similar schemes by other Car Manufacturers such as vauxhall, bmw and mercedes. Ford says it is all about improving air quality. Andy barratt is the managing director of ford in britain. Hejoins me now from our newsroom in london. Good morning. How many cars are you expecting to sell off the back of this . Well, this is about an air quality improvement, it is not necessarily a marketing ploy. There are 90 million cars in the category that we have targeted here that if you took them all off the road, and by no means, no one can do that in one go, that is the equivalent of three coal fired power stations. So there is a big Climate Change opportunity. We think this is the first step on ourjourney to improve air quality, and we will take a few thousand off in this initial stage. And we arejust thousand off in this initial stage. And we are just testing customer reaction at this point. A few thousand compared to 19 million is not very many. It is not, but it is pa rt not very many. It is not, but it is part of a longerjourney which will improve hybrids, electrical vehicles, and we are testing plug in hybrid transit in london later this year. That is all a part of that 23 year. That is all a part of that 23 year journey to 2040, year. That is all a part of that 23 yearjourney to 2040, whether has set its benchmark to change motoring forever. You are a bit kinder times on this, arent you . You could have brought these deals out earlier, and ford did not make a fully electric car yet. We do make a fully electric car, we have been selling a fully electric focus in the uk for the last five or six years. We also have hybrids available and we are the second largest producer of hybrids and the world, so i would disagree that we are behind the times, but we have listened to our customers. We employ over 1000 people directly or indirectly in the uk and 500 customers drive our cars to go about their daily business. We have listened to them, and it is now on their agenda, and we are inviting those 90 Million People tojoin their agenda, and we are inviting those 90 Million People to join us in the debate and step forward. Looking at this deal, it is only really worth it if you have a car which is £2000 or less. In reality, anyone with a car at that value is not going to be able to afford a car at £12,000, which is the cheapest car you can get on this deal. It is not necessarily just car you can get on this deal. It is not necessarilyjust £2000, because we have other incentives. But that is towards the scrappage. That is the value of their part of the exchange but if you move to modern ca rs exchange but if you move to modern cars they are more efficient, require less servicing, they may be cheaper to insure because of the latest technology, as well. You have to ta ke latest technology, as well. You have to take the whole cost of motoring into account to make your decision. It is not for everyone, but we are inviting those who may be interested to come forward. It could be pushing more people in the finance deals, with cars, couldnt it . But they may already be on finance deals, and this would work in their favour. That is why it is down to each individual to make their choice. Why have you not included your cheapest car on the steel . The cheapest car is £10,700, and that is the brand new fiesta, which we are only just launching today this deal. We have developed a scheme for the masses, rather than just a few. Why isnt your kia car included . It is cheaper, but we dont have enough supply on the ground and we are targeting the most popular models like fiesta and focus. Is it about Profit Margins .

You are watching breakfast from bbc news. Still to come this morning will the soggy bottoms be the same, or will it be all change at bake off now it has moved to a new home . We will give you a sneak preview in the next half hour. A couple of 5 star reviews in the papers from the sneak preview, but for the rest of us it starts next week. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news, im asad ahmad. A series of police raids have taken place this morning across london in the run up to this weekends notting hill carnival. Scotland yard says officers have been targeting and disrupting gang crime, drug supply, knife crime and other offences that could impact on the safety of the event. Prior to this mornings raids, nearly 300 arrests have been made, during which knives and firearms were recovered. The Dartford Crossing is being accused of showing britain to be soft and stupid when it comes to unpaid fines, afterforeign drivers racked up over £80 million of debt since the crossing became cashless.

Free wi fi is coming to residents on the lowest incomes in tower hamlets, courtesy of the council, after it approved a plan for Broadband Availability in town centres and social housing. Free digital training will also be given to ensure more families have access to Online Support services. Tower Hamlets Council says nearly a quarter of residents living on low incomes dont have access to wi fi, with the figure even higher among the elderly and disabled. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. There is a good service on the tubes this morning. A look at the roads, and tower bridge is due to lift up in a minute or two, so expect delays on all approaches and surrounding roads. And in islington, upper street remains closed southbound from Liverpool Road to city road. Itll be like that until november. Lets have a check on the weather now, with georgina. Good morning. It is a misty, murky start to the day for many of us. Should be largely dry for much of the day, though. It may feel a little damp in the air in some spots this morning, because of the low cloud. But that breaks up fairly early on, to give us some brightness and even sunny spells. So after lunch, actually, feeling quite pleasant, with just a light easterly breeze, and temperatures getting up to about 24 or 25 degrees celsius. Now, later on in the afternoon, you can see there are one or two showers coming through, but i think most of us should miss those altogether, and they die away overnight. It is another muggy, potentially uncomfortable one to come, im afraid, in some spots not dropping below 18 degrees celsius. Some more of that mist and fog developing, so we start off the day tomorrow with a similar picture. But again, it is going to be breaking up, so that bright and even sunny spells develop in the afternoon. Temperatures getting up to 24 or 25 degrees celsius. A bit more of westerly breeze tomorrow. Now, thursday is going to be feeling fresher, so we lose that humidity a bit, and it is looking largely dry, with some sunny spells. Friday there are one or two showers around, and then saturday looks like a day of sunshine and showers to start off the bank holiday, but it could potentially go downhill by monday. Thats it. Vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london, and in a few minutes, she will have a paper review and more on donald trump.

Good morning, this is mavis looking after the sheep that you can see in the background. We are all part of Mission Invertebrate. Well tell you more in 15 minutes. The forecast today after a cloudy murky start, it will brighten up but we have some rain on the way, especially so across Northern Ireland, parts of scotla nd across Northern Ireland, parts of scotland and Northern England later. Backin scotland and Northern England later. Back in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. President trump says the us will fight to win in afghanistan, as he unveils a new strategy in the war against the taliban. In a major speech last night, he said that he had changed his mind about withdrawing troops from the country. He also called on nato allies to do more. Our washington correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports. The man who always said he didnt want to intervene abroad came to announce the intervention in afghanistan is going to ratchet up. He said it was for the right reasons. We are not nation building again. We are killing terrorists. He announced the lifting of a cap on the number of us troops in afghanistan, and that there would be no time limit on them staying there. My original instinct was to pull out, and historically, i like following my instincts. But all my life, ive heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the oval office. A very different donald trump to the one who said this kind of thing right through the obama years. And that is the basis on which he campaigned as a president ial candidate, that he wouldnt spend American Resources abroad, but here at home. He says he now realises that pulling out american troops from afghanistan would leave a vacuum for militants. But it will be a disappointment to many of his supporters. This will mean there is still no end in sight for americas longest war. President trump also called for nato allies to do more in afghanistan. Lets get the latest from our Political Correspondent, iain watson. Whats likely to be the reaction from the uk . Sir Michael Fallon has already responded. He welcomes the president s ongoing commitment to afghanistan and the commitment to stay the course in afghanistan, this coming of course from a president who, as a candidate for the presidency, suggested that involvement in afghanistan would be a waste of time. We heard the president say that this wasnt about nation building but killing terrorists. But in a phone call with the us defence secretary, james mat it is yesterday, Michael Fallon discussed rebuilding afg hanistans fragile democracy. As i understand it, in that phone call, there was no specific demand or request for britain or america to send more troops, in fact we sent more troops in advance of the speech back in june, another 85, so just in advance of the speech back in june, another 85, sojust under 500 british troops currently in afghanistan, being involved in Training Missions included in that. This now looks for the long haul. Thank you very much. Four men accused of being part of a terror cell which killed 15 people in spain last week are due to appear in court in madrid this morning.

At least one person has died and at least 25 people injured after an earthquake hit the italian island of ischia in southern italy. The tourists and residents ran into the streets as buildings collapsed when the quake hitjust before 9pm local time. Mark lobel reports. The earthquake struckjust as local families and tourists on the Holiday Island sat down for dinner. Houses were flattened. People were evacuated from buildings, including the local hospital. One woman was killed when rubble fell from a church. At least 20 other people were injured. Ischia is an hours ferry ride from naples and lies about seven miles from the epicentre of the earthquake. The islands northern town of casamicciola was the worst hit. In the village, firemen located a baby trap beneath the rubble. After a delicate operation, a welcome sound. Baby crying. Some firemen were already on the island to deal with wildfires. Others flew in. Italys Beautiful Islands are a draw for visitors, but unfortunately in an area prone to seismic activity, they can often cost lives.

Today marks three months since a suicide bomber detonated his device at an Ariana Grande concert in the Manchester Arena, killing 22 people and injuring many more. The memories of that night are likely to stay with those who were there forever, but medical experts say that if people are still being adversely affected by trauma they should seek additional support. Brea kfasts Graham Satchell reports. The tears are never far away really. Suddenly you catch yourself thinking, oh, my gosh, martin would have loved this. Its a shame he isnt there. We are in st anns square, in the centre of manchester. It became the focus of remembrance, where thousands of people left flowers. Figen and Stuart Murray lost their son martyn hett in the attack. Figen has been a therapist for more than 20 years, but has decided she can no longer do herjob. I dont think, with what happened to me, that i will ever be in a position to offer psychological support to anybody else, because i think i am so damaged through this. She is meeting 18 year old kaitlin. On the night of the attack, kaitlin was knocked off her feet by the force of the blast, but escaped without physical injury. She became withdrawn, started having nightmares, and is now seeing a counsellor. It wasnt until a few weeks, i would say, after, where it really hit me, where the guilt at me. The guilt tell me a bit more about that. I managed to walk out without a mark on. Obviously there are people who lost their lives. You have nightmares and flashbacks . Yes, all the time. I have nightmares about people about violence, about obviously people trying to blow me up. Shes obviously suffering from survivors guilt. A lot of martyns friends had that, as well. And with the help of therapy, obviously its helping her to kind of normalise that feeling. This is the manchester resilience hub. It is co ordinating Services Specifically for people caught up in the attack. It is about 12 weeks now since the attack. Is that the sort of time you are talking about, where people here may need to access help . Yes, we view the 12 weeks period, post incident, as a significant milestone. If you are still exhibiting symptoms at the 12 week point, they are probably not going to resolve without some kind of help or intervention. The hub is helping more than 200 people access psychological support, but they want everyone who needs help to come forward. Figen hasnt had any counselling herself, but has decided she will get help. I have decided i need it, because like so many people, im damaged, to some extent. Back in st anns square, the sea of flowers from well wishers has all but gone. The pain, the memory, will never go. But, with the right help, the hope is that life will become easier for those left behind. Figen was talking to graham satchel there. Lets discuss this in more detail with dr sandi mann, whos a psychologist. We have spoken before in the wake of the Manchester Arena attack. The kind of people you are talking to now, you are seeing kind of people you are talking to now, you are seeing that theyre still adversely affectd by whats happened . There are a mixture of people still affected. Obviously those who were there, affected and injured and their families, those who were there, affected and injured and theirfamilies, then there is the next generation, the people in the outer circle who werent directly impacted physically but were there and are suffering from survivors guilt or some form of ptsd, post Traumatic Stress disorder. Today is a key point because its the 12 week period which is a point at which ptsd can start to be diagnosed, so today is a crucial day for therapists and people in mental health. Interestingly, im seeing people who werent directly affected, they werent directly affected, they werent there, didnt know anybody who was injured but theyre still directly affected and i feel that those people are slipping through the net because they werent there and they feel that they cant get access to support because why should they, they werent directly affected but they were indirectly affected and its still impacting on them quite significantly. In terms of those who were there, what are the symptoms that you are seeing with regards to this ptsd and you will see in the coming days and weeks . One of the most significant symptoms is flashbacks, they keep seeing things, especially if they saw horrific things or hearing things, the sound of the explosion, people still report that. There is a lot of jumpiness or being hyperalert, as we call it, so a slight sound, the door banging, thejumping and going into a stress response or adrenaline response, people might have panic attacks when out and about if a fire alarm goes off somewhere, Something Like that, so that hypersensitivity, hyperalert, not sleeping well, not functioning basically. So people whore not functioning normally, theyre the ones who desperately need the help. Therell be a lot of people who may have some of the symptoms but generally the functioning is happening, theyre getting on with their lives. What should you do if you are close to someone or should you do if you are close to someone or working with someone or a Family Member who you think may still be very adversely affected but you are not quite sure. What should you are not quite sure. What should you look out for and how can you approach them to make sure that theyre aware that there is help there . If they are not functioning properly, that is the key thing. Are they avoiding a lot of things so they avoiding a lot of things so they are not able to live a normal life . If so, they need help. Now is the time, if they havent already. They may be thinking, i should be moving on. Now is when you can get intervention. Until now we have not been able to offer intervention, only counselling. Now we can offer interventions like emd are, an effective technique for treating post Traumatic Stress disorder. Emd. I movement desensitisation. It is an amazing technique where we get people to reprocess those images stuck in their brains that they get rid of, intruding their thoughts, they cant move on. It was so traumatic they couldnt process it at the time. Thank you for talking to us macro. Us. If you were directly affected by the attack at the Manchester Arena, and think you might need help from the manchester resilience hub, you can contact your gp, your local Therapies Service or call nhs 111. We are going to talk to carol this morning. She is out and about and she is being kept company by a dog, maybe. She has had lots of sheep. And i dont think its so enjoyable, lots of flies. The flies are attracted to carol. They have been everywhere. They are everywhere. They are eating us they are everywhere. They are eating us alive. Good morning. The reason i am here in green park in london is because the royal parks are running a trial, a grazing trial at the moment, to improve the meadow quality for the bugs that live here. This is the first time there have been sheep years since the 19305. These are rear breeds. Rare breeds. They are part of Mission Invertebrate. It is those the royal parks are trying to improve the meadow quality for. What the sheep do is they eat the dominant plants, allowing space for other plants to grow. They trample their feet in the ground and further plants grow. It isa ground and further plants grow. It is a lovely cycle. The sheep are here until and including this sunday. The weather has been kind this morning. It was drizzly earlier. Now it is just cloudy. Across many parts of the uk we are starting off on a cloudy note. It will brighten up. For some parts of england and wales we could hit 26 or 27. We have some rain increasingly turning patchy as it moves north east across scotland. Dry weather in wales and the midlands. We are likely to see some showers across South West England and wales, and merge across Northern Ireland. By four oclock this afternoon in scotland, the rain will move into the north east. There will be some showers. Some brightness across the moray firth and the southern uplands. There will also be showers across southern england, but later, when they are likely to be heavy and sundry. The midlands, east anglia, kent, hampshire and the isle of wight, brighter skies and sunshine. Somewhere in central or southern england could reach 26. Most of us will miss showers. There will be more showers across north wales. For Northern Ireland, the showers ganging up to produce a speu showers ganging up to produce a spell of heavy rain, which could prove thundery. As we had through this evening and overnight, the reigning Northern Ireland extends across scotland and injured Northern England, where it is likely to be heavy and sundry. There will be showers across wales and some clear skies. Another humid day. Rather like today. Temperatures between 14 and 17 celsius. Tomorrow morning we start with rain across scotland and Northern England. That is drifting north east. The tail end of that heading towards eastern and south Eastern England producing some cloud. Here it will be quite humid. Behind all of that, brighter skies and fresher conditions. Eventually the cloud pushes into the north sea and the fresher conditions will move into the south east. By the time we get to thursday, look at the north south split. A wet day in the north, drier and brighter in the south. For all of us it would be a fresher day. Temperatures a maximum of 22 celsius. We are going to leave you to it. We are being absolutely eaten alive this morning. Sort yourself out carol. We will see you in half an hour. You get ichi yourself when you see bugs. We have had some bugs on the camera lens this morning. Not here green park. I knew about them ijust park. I knew about them i just thought that some had made their way here. Excellent 30 seconds of television, everyone shall we talk about ford . Lots of the Car Manufacturers have been looking at how they can help the government reduce air pollution in the uk to make the air quality better. Today, ford is the latest to offer a scrappage scheme for older ca rs. Offer a scrappage scheme for older cars. What they are saying is you cant get a new car with £2000 off if you trade in a car that is seven yea rs if you trade in a car that is seven years older. It could be an inmate of car. It doesnt have to be fought. They are one of a number of manufacturers who have introduced schemes like this. Vauxhall is another. Specifically diesel scrappage schemes with bmw and mercedes. I talked to the boss of ford earlier about how much this is a good deal in terms of value for money. This only makes sense if you have a car worth £2000 or less. The cheapest car you can get with ford on this deal is a £12,000 car. There isa on this deal is a £12,000 car. There is a question of how much this is worth. That is what i was talking to the boss of ford about. Modern cars are more fuel efficient, they require less servicing. They may be cheaper to insure because of later technology. You have to take the whole cost of motoring into account to make your decision. It is not for everyone. We are those who may be interested to come forward. There are around 90 million cars on the road which are seven years or older. It is about reducing that number. For dan ruimy expecting this to bea number. For dan ruimy expecting this to be a couple of thousand cars. Ford are only expecting this. Thank you. Its no longer on the bbc, but the Great British bake off returns to our screens in a weeks time. Three quarters of the presenting line up has changed but has anything else . I think they are still baking cakes. And parades. Biscuits. Breads. Tv critics and the press had a sneak preview of the new style channel 4 bake off yesterday. Lets take a look. Paul and pru must now decide who will be our first star baker and who will be our first star baker and who will be our first star baker and who will be the first to leave the wake of team. The standard has been ridiculously high. This is one of the row strongest challenges i have seen for the first programme. That was a cracking good watermelon. Sophie has been constant. Stephen didnt fail us. Nobody wants to be the first person to leave. Who is in danger . Liam was stunning. Stacey, sensational. This didnt look like a handbag. Peter has not done well. Chris is full of good ideas. s flavours are spectacular but is baking falls short. None of it sounds straightforward. We have to send somebody. Ill take a hit for the team. Its been great. Sandy will be fine. Our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, was there for the big reveal. So what did you think of the new bake off lizo . I should give a big Paul Hollywood pause and say, i really liked it. It worked quite well. There have been big changes since the last series. But it is a very special programme to many, many millions of viewers. It is the kind of show they feel doesnt belong to the bbc, it belongs to the nation. So tinker with it at your peril. I think the changes that channel 4 have made havent altered the character of it. It has got pru leith rather than mary berry. She is probably as close as you can get. And Noel Fielding and sandy toxic play to their strengths. Their humour works well. There is so much that is so familiar about the programme. It felt very co mforta ble. About the programme. It felt very comfortable. It had the tent, it had the music, and the engine that drives it through, the 12 competing bakers. Some of them had near disasters. For me at least the programme worked really well. I wasnt thinking, its not the same, it needs mel and sue. I was just enjoying the show as i was swept along. All of this does relate to ratings. If the cakes rise, they are hoping the ratings will rise, too. On bbc one it was the most Popular Programme on british television, getting ratings in the range of 14 million. On channel 4 it is very unlikely it will hit those kinds of heights. But applauded in context, evenif heights. But applauded in context, even if it loses half to three quarters of its audience on channel 4, it will still be getting three to 4, it will still be getting three to 4 million. A massive hit for channel 4 million. A massive hit for channel 4 along side programmes like gogglebox. They would be getting a fantastic audience. They also have a Public Service remit. They will be having a sizeable hit. Even though it would not get the massive figures it would not get the massive figures it gets on the bbc. They only know themselves the intricate finances, how much they paid for the programme and how it will work with the advertising. But certainly from a viewing point of view, if it gets after three quarters fewer viewers, it will be a big for the channel. Thank you. The Great British bake off returns next tuesday at 8pm on channel 4. Im sure well be talking about that week. Coming up in a moment on the bbc news channel is business live. Here on breakfast, while millions of people saw that stunning Solar Eclipse from the ground yesterday, we got an even closer look. Stay tuned to see the view from on board an eclipse chasing jet. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning. Warm and muggy air across parts of england. It will turn warm across the south. Further north, one or two heavy showers, particularly across Northern Ireland and into the west of scotland later. A warm day for many. Temperatures about 19 25. This evening, heavy showers spread into scotland. Those will hang around on wednesday morning, with further showers across the north of england. Those generally clearing and on wednesday, a fresher feeling day. Generally clearing and on wednesday, a fresherfeeling day. Therell generally clearing and on wednesday, a fresher feeling day. Therell be plenty of dry weather. One or two showers coming into the west during the afternoon. Temperatures up to 24 on wednesday. That is it from me. Good morning. This is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and rachael horne. Trading with trump south korea steps up to the table to negotiate a new trade deal with the Worlds Largest economy. Live from london, thats our top story on tuesday 22nd august. South korea and the us may be staunch allies when it comes to north korea. But today the two sides will face off on a trade deal that trump says is horrible. And mining big returns, bhp billiton bounces back from losing billions to making billions in just one year.
