Mike will be exploring the weird and Wonderful World of goat yoga. And matt has the weather. Good morning. As well as the latest on Hurricane Harvey ive got news for the bank holiday weekend. It will contain more dry and sunny weather for some of you than it does wet. First, our main story. The most powerful storm to strike mainland america in more than a decade has made landfall in texas. Hurricane harvey has winds of up to 130mph and has battered the town of rockport. Some residents are reported to be trapped inside collapsed buildings. The Emergency Services said it was too dangerous to respond to some calls. David willis reports. Harvey hit texas hard overnight, bringing with it high winds and heavy rain. A category four hurricane, capable of causing catastrophic damage. Deemed the most powerful storm to hit the us mainland in over a decade. This is going to be a very major disaster. This is harvey from above, a malevolent storm system ten miles wide, capable of dumping up to a0 inches of rain. Corpus christi, a city in the eye of the storm, has seen a rush to evacuate. Fears of a power outage forcing the sickest babies at a Childrens Hospital to be moved out of the hurricanes path. The National Weather service warned of winds that could leave homes uninhabitable for weeks or even months. Among those heeding the local mayors advice to get out of dodge, this woman and her three children. I try to be strong because i dont want my children to see. They get scared and i dont want to have them scared. I have to be a strong mother for that. Briefed earlier by his advisers, President Trump is facing the First National disaster of his term in office. The lessons of Hurricane Katrina i2 years ago still serve as an indelible reminder of the political past of underestimating a weather system such as this. The president urged texans to heed calls to evacuate, but, with several days of Storm Force Winds and rain ahead, its likely many of those who leave may not have much to come back to. Our north america correspondent james cook is in the seaside town of Corpus Christi for us and sent this update. Hurricane harvey smashed the shore just a short time ago, not very far from here. About 30 miles east north east of where we are standing in Corpus Christi. Rockport is where it came ashore. The winds were said to be 130 mph according to the National Hurricane center, that makes it a category four hurricane. An extremely dangerous storm. And the most powerful storm to hit the mainland United States in more than a decade. There is already reports of damage. Id seen part of a building that was being constructed coming down. There are palm trees down as well and other damage. The real effect will only come to light as we get into the morning. The governor of texas had warned that this was going to be an extremely serious storm and a potential major disaster. That is, at the moment, certainly possible at the moment. It seems conditions are worsening as we speak. A man has been arrested under the terrorism act after two black two Police Officers were injured.

Two of the missiles failed in flight, the third blew up almost immediately after it was launched. The latest firings come during a joint us south korea military exercise, which has been strongly criticised by pyongyang. The final countdown has begun in what is expected to be the most watched pay per view boxing match ever. The hype has been unrelenting, and while the finalface off the hype has been unrelenting, and while the final face off for this mega fight was another spectacle, its clear Conor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweatherjunior have its clear Conor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweather junior have captured its clear Conor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweatherjunior have captured the imagination of many boxing fans. Now, with the formalities over, mcgregor is focused on the task ahead. Lets go, lets see who can ta ke ahead. Lets go, lets see who can take it. Hes over there twiddling his thumbs, twitching away. I see a man afraid, thats it. The buildup has been controversial, and there are questions over a contest stage primarily forfinancial are questions over a contest stage primarily for financial reasons. The man who refers to himself as the best ever is expecting his payday to best ever is expecting his payday to be swift. It wont go the distance, mark my words. Irish fans have flocked to las vegas in recent days and the celebrations will likely continue for several nights if mcgregor can pull off a shock win. The world is going to explode if he does. It would be mad if he wins. Whats the party going to be like . dont know, ill be asleep outside somewhere but Floyd Mayweathers father believes mcgregors lack of experience will see him fade. Hes going to miss a lot, and hes going to get tired, then. Shall be gone. Went Conor Mcgregor returns to this arena it will be to phase one of the greatest boxers of his generation. The time for talking is over. So much to talk about. Lets speak to david haye in las vegas for tonights fight. Thank you for joining us. Great views over las vegas this morning. Whats the atmosphere like . Its amazing. This hotel is absolutely buzzing. Its early in the morning, its1am at the moment. People are really excited and have already started drinking. It is insane over here. Im sure it is. Lows of travelling fa ns im sure it is. Lows of travelling fans as well for the fight. Weve lost the picture to david. Your back. We know there are loads of travelling fans in support of mcgregor but will they make a difference . Does he stand a chance against Floyd Mayweather . Realistically know but this is sport. The good thing about sport is anything can happen at any given time. You had usain bolt pulling a hamstring. Who would have thought the jamaicans would come in last in the jamaicans would come in last in the 100 meter relay . You had myself, i snapped my achilles tendon in my last fight against tony bellew. I was the huge favourite but things happen in sport and thats whats make this fight is so intriguing. If both fighters stay healthy i believe theres only one winner, Floyd Mayweather. Fighting someone having their first boxing match mayweather. Fighting someone having theirfirst boxing match is ridiculous to believe that Conor Mcgregor has a chance, but, you know, when theres so much pride, it feels like all of ireland over here. There are so irish fans over here than there are four Floyd Mayweather and we are in his hometown. I cant wait to be ringside to see the anticipation. Im hoping foran entertaining fight. It can only go one way in my opinion and thats the boxer winning a boxing match. One way in my opinion and thats the boxer winning a boxing matchm one way in my opinion and thats the boxer winning a boxing match. If he is to get anywhere near and even get through to the second half of the fight, how does he do it . Hes going to have to do something hes never done and more importantly hes going to have to do something that 49 professionalfighters, 23 to have to do something that 49 professional fighters, 23 or 2a while champions, when table to get to Floyd Mayweather. Hes going to somehow bypass all those 20 years a piece of experience to do it all with three months training. Its like the table tennis champion beating Roger Federer in a tennis match after practising tennis for three months. Its not really going to happen. Unless Roger Federer pulled a hamstring or breaks his ankle. There needs to be some type of injury in this fight for me to believe that Conor Mcgregor has a legitimate chance. David, we are watching the way in pictures earlier and it was interesting to see that mcgregor was going for the extremely aggressive approach, screaming literally in Floyd Mayweathers face. Do you think any of that attitude will be in the ring and could that make any difference . The one thing about boxing is the more you try to knock someone out, the less chance you have of knocking them out. You need to relax. You need to really let it flow and Conor Mcgregor doesnt know how to do that. He doesnt have the experience, he doesnt understand fighting with the type of rules Floyd Mayweather has been fighting with his whole career. Fighting with a different type of gloves. Hes used to people kicking him, taking him out. This is a different mindset and different rhythm, a different pace. Its so different to what hes used to that its going to be like a fish out of water. In boxing particularly, all it takes is one punch. He needs to get a hole in one with his first ever shot on the golf course. It can be done statistically, there is a chance he can do it, but it really needs to be. He needs to literally win the lottery with his first ticket. Theres no doubt that ufc and the profile its getting if they were not almost whatever happens. Does it doa not almost whatever happens. Does it do a discredit to boxing . Not really. What does is it gets people excited. Boxing is about entertainment, its about getting people excited. This fight done it more than i can think of any other fight in history. This is really captivating the worlds imagination. People who arent boxing fans, people who arent mma fans, people who have maybe never heard of mma, they know about it now because Conor Mcgregor has put it on the map with his brash talking, his sharp suits. With his explosive performances hes shown the world what mixed martial a rts shown the world what mixed martial arts are. But unfortunately hes going to have to have a boxing match. Its like Conor Mcgregor going intojudo, challenging the 0lympic going intojudo, challenging the olympic gold medallist, the greatest everjudo player atjudo, after never having done it before. 0r jujitsu, or karate, kick boxing, thai boxing. These people are seasoned, condition that that one discipline. Hes going to have to somehow bypass 35 years of experience in three months. I believe its too much of a tall order. Thank you. Enjoy the fight. Great camera work as well. Thats the advantage of having exceedingly long boxers arms also quite masterly, powerful arms and steve will be joined by Mike Costello for exclusive radio commentary of the fight on sunday from 3. 30am as well as updates on the bbc sport website and app. You will not hear better boxing commentary anywhere, let me tell you that. Steve bunce said hes got a specially made shirt for the occasion tell us what you think. Let us know what you think about that fight taking place at 4am on sunday morning. Theres been one story thats been breaking as become an airand thats story thats been breaking as become an air and thats the hurricane in america, making landfall in texas. Youve got the latest pictures of the journey of this hurricane. Yes, good morning. Its a category four storm, the stronger storm to hit texas since 1961. It has maintained a bit of strength and has weakened toa a bit of strength and has weakened to a category three. This is the latest radar shot from texas. You can see the rain bands around, this is where the winds fall. Its around that where we saw the winds touch 130 mph. Those winds still strong and devastating. The storm surge just to the east of that. That will ease over the coming hours. The big problem is with this storm as it works its way in as well as taking down property and some of the Electricity Network and plants and trees from the strength of the wind, and that storm surge, is how much rain will fall. It doesnt move a great deal. The stormers and pushed on as you would normally expect. Its days as a weakened feature but over the same areas and over the next three orfour the same areas and over the next three or four days we could see as much as a metre of rainfall. Imagine it raining in birmingham for 1h months and then convincing it back into three orfour months and then convincing it back into three or four days worth of rainfall. Thats the sort of rainfall. Thats the sort of rainfall we are talking about. There could be some catastrophic flooding and it will be a storm that continues to rumble on as far as devastation and impact is concerned right into next week. Weve got that across the other side of the atlantic. Stay much quieter closer to home as we head into the bank holiday weekend. The worst of the rainfall we can expect with just a few showers. For many the bulk of the weekend will be dry with someone sunshine. If you splashes of rain at the moment, and a few showers in eastern scotland. The odd one in Northern England and Northern Ireland first thing. The east of scotla nd Ireland First thing. The east of scotland is where the heavy showers will be. Temperatures into the upper teens across england and wales widely into the 20s. When the sun is on your back it will feel warm. Strong sunshine, bear that in mind if you are off to headingley for the second test between england and the west indies. A bit more cloud at times but still some funny spells coming through. A bit of sunshine to be found this evening in belfast in the womens Rugby World Cup final. As we go into this evening and overnight, clear skies with patchy mist and fog. Scotland and Northern England in particular. If you showers into the west. Many of those will cross into the far west of scotland, the Western Isles in particular. That takes us into sunday which for most of you will be dry. Early morning showers should fade away. A bit cloudy with some light rain or drizzle. Most will stay dry, a bit more sunshine around compared to today. With winds light it will feel warm once again. That ta kes it will feel warm once again. That takes off towards monday. Bank holiday for the vast majority of the uk. Not in scotland, thats where you will see the wettest and windiest weather. It will move slowly through the day, also into Northern Ireland during the afternoon. It will increase the cloud in western parts of england and wales after bright start. Driest and wales after bright start. Driest and sunniest in the south. Sky is blue for the bank holiday weekend. Temperatures in the team for the northern half of the uk but we could see the warmest weather of august so far, believe it or not on a bank holiday tonight england meet new zealand in the womens Rugby World Cup final in belfast. Maggie alphonsi was part of the winning team three years ago, shejoins us now from outside the Kingspan Stadium where the match will take place tonight. Great to see you this morning. We know there is no love lost between these two sides, this particular black ferns team and the england womens team. How gnarly will it be on the pitch later this evening . Its going to be a really competitive game today. These two have met each other three times in a World Cup Final and new zealand have one each time. Its always been a tight match. The last time they met england obviously one in new zealand 2921. The tie england obviously one in new zealand 29 21. The tie before that new zealand beat england in england 2520. This zealand beat england in england 25 20. This is going to be a very physical and competitive encounter. But also its the cool heads that count in these situations. Theyve got a long day today. They are going to wa ke got a long day today. They are going to wake up this morning, its tough to wake up this morning, its tough to get you a mind in the right place for such a big occasion. Yes, its such a long day. Seven and a0 5pm kick off. The key thing is to make sure they can control their emotions, not get pumped up too early 7 a5pm kick off. Its about going through their tactics and game plan but also switching off and relaxing. Then bringing out their emotions when they need to come 7 a5pm. The players are used to this and they will be ready for this. Its a great showpiece for womens by. Its a great showpiece for womens rugby. Its getting more must profile and effectively the two best teams are going to be live on british tv. Its absolutely brilliant. This tournament has been the most competitive tournament. Its been viewed across 110 countries. The last match got up to 1 million viewers. It highlights the fa ct 1 million viewers. It highlights the fact womens sport is getting the recognition it deserves. People want to watch it. We saw the england women cricket, the Football Team and also gb hockey. Now its rugbys turn. It shows a shift and change of interesting womens sports. And of womens rugby has shot up. Thats really over the last ten years. I noticed a couple of changes in the england line up, enforced because Daniel Waterman was ruled out with concussion. How much is that likely to change this team . Its a solid squad altogether. Its going to have a big impact. Danielle is an experienced player, would have gone for her fourth rugby world experienced player, would have gone for herfourth Rugby World Cup final. England have made changes. Meganjones final. England have made changes. Megan jones comes in final. England have made changes. Meganjones comes in at 13. It will have a big impact but at the same time england have so much depth in their squad. Apologies, we just lost maggie 0ne their squad. Apologies, we just lost maggie one or two problems with our links this morning. That game is happening tonight. Good luck to the england team. That matches kicking off at around 7 30pm. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news, its time now for a look at the newspapers. Nazir afzal, former chief prosecutor for North West Crown Prosecution Service is here to tell us whats caught his eye. This is the story from the daily mail. Yes, its covered in a number of places. Policing facing substantial challenges with resources. Substantial challenges with resources. Craig mackey the Deputy Commissioner of the met yesterday said that they would have to prioritise who they visit. Amongst the priorities are those with difficulties and the elderly bottles are those who dont speaking be as a first language. The daily mail are concentrating on that in a story. 0thers concentrating on that in a story. Others are too. Somehow if you speak english youll be discriminated against. I think its another good example of how a realistic message is being misinterpreted or poorly communicated. The reality is that 999 isnt affected, they will come to anyone who requires an emergency response. When it comes to car crime, when you want to report a relatively low level but impactful crime, the police will say well, generally you fill in online or make a call but if you cant speak the language we are prepared to come out to you. Its about the challenges the police face in terms of resources. The police face in terms of resources. They arent able to have as many stations as they used to have all the people to go and visit you. The former chief constable of Greater Manchester police tweeting about this saying its disappointing about this saying its disappointing a serious debate about Police Priorities is used to make cheap political points. Its a big issue for the police. Peter is that the luke wright. Policing has had substantial cuts, 20 or thereabouts. Nonetheless they dont have the stations they used to have, they dont have the officers on the street and there a massive impact in terms of safer neighbourhoods. My challenge is that weve got to make use of the resources that we have by focusing on the element you are distracting from the main point. Lets pick up on your second story. Also in the daily mail. This is a councillor in Manchester City council. Shes been talking about grooming gangs, male patriarch e, issues of that nature. 0rdinarily if youre a liberal councillor or any councillor, you get reselected u nless councillor, you get reselected unless theres a specific reason why you shouldnt be. The local labour party have decided not to selected to standing next year s elections. She claims is because of her outspoken nature, talking about the patriarch patriarchy. The labour party say its hub alleged poor attendance. It plays into the debate weve been having over the last week after the newcastle case where Sarah Champion resigned because she was saying pretty much the same thing and ive been saying. People are suspicious as to the motives of the party in deselecting has. Theres no avoiding it this weekend, its made the back pages and the inside pages of the papers. The individual story of the papers. The individual story of Conor Mcgregor, really is im sure bound to end up in a hollywood movie. I have no doubt whatsoever. Weathering my son was wide awake at 5am, he said he was training himself to be up tomorrow morning for the pay per view. Ive no doubt there are many others sitting there waiting for this event. Its not boxing as we know it. The point is he has inspired people. Hes not a boxer. I just saw the david he has inspired people. Hes not a boxer. Ijust saw the david haye interview. His mma. But people are excited by this. They are excited by the journey he is taking. From being on the dole, from having no work at all. We made reference to his previousjob as a all. We made reference to his previous job as a plumber. Now look. £75 million is what he gets for tonight. As long as he doesnt start kicking and doing things he shouldnt be exactly. Can you imagine, people would be quite excited if he did. My personal view is its a boxing match and Floyd Mayweather is the boxer. But mcgregors story is exciting. So many irish people have gone to las vegas to support him. Notjust irish people. People seem to be more excited about this event than many others. You could send your son in here for some Work Experience hes just had his gcses. Im not going to say no to him doing anything whatsoever at the moment because im congratulating him on his achievement. Thank you. I the headlines coming up injust a moment. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and rachel burden. Coming up before 9, matt will have your weekend weather. But first at 8 30am, a summary of this mornings main news. The most powerful storm to strike mainland america in more than a decade, has made landfall in texas. Hurricane harvey has winds of up to 130 Miles Per Hour and has battered the town of rockport. Some residents are reported to be trapped inside collapsed buildings. Tens of thousands of people have lost power. The Emergency Services said it was too dangerous to respond to some calls. Earlier we spoke to a cbs News Reporter who is in Corpus Christi, where residents were advised to evacuate as Hurricane Harvey approached. Right now state officials dont have any hard numbers for how many people evacuated the area but we can tell you there were seven coastal counties who had mandatory evacuations. That happened already on thursday evening and into friday. But many people in the other areas chose to stay in the path of Hurricane Harvey. They didnt want to abandon their homes or belongings or worry about transporting their children and pets to another location so they decided to stay here. This is what they are faced with. Frankly, idont here. This is what they are faced with. Frankly, i dont think anyone expected this storm to get this bad. It only became a category four hurricane late on friday and until then even a three was a surprise to many. To make landfall at a four is going to come as a shock for many people waking up and saying the damage. I can tell you they are probably not getting much sleep, though, because the building even where we are shaking a little bit when we are inside. So i can imagine people inside their homes are pretty frightened to experience such a devastating storm. It really is a one, two, three punch. You have the winds and the storm surge of up to 12 feet and harvey is expected to hang out in the area and dumped a tremendous amount of rain, up to three feet in the area. Those conditions make for concerns, downed trees and power lines, all the things of a bad storm coming together to make this historic for people. This is just together to make this historic for people. This isjust the beginning. Were not even going to understand the devastation the days to come, once we see all that flooding that happens not just here once we see all that flooding that happens notjust here but at other major cities, like houston, which is already bracing for a lot of water. That with the cbs journalist speaking to us earlier. The reason we cannot cross over to our correspondences because the conditions are so bad. We will keep you up to date on that this morning. A man found with a large blade in a car outside Buckingham Palace is being questioned by Counter Terror police. Two officers were injured after tackling the 26 year old last night and have been praised for their quick reactions. It is understood that no members of the royal family were in the palace at the time. A spokesperson says it is business as usual today at the royal household. Millions of travellers taking to the road and rail network this weekend face disruption because of major Engineering Works. The south east of england will be affected the most with station closures at charing cross, euston and liverpool street. In the north west of england, Engineering Works will affect manchester, preston, blackpool and bolton. The disruption is because of work involving around 17,000 engineering staff. North korea has fired 3 short range ballistic missiles, according to the american military. Two of the missiles failed in flight, the third blew up almost immediately after it was launched. The latest firings come during a joint us south korea military exercise, which has been strongly criticised by pyongyang. Nearly £500,000 will be given to Community Projects in england to help develop new technology to tackle littering. Its hoped the money will go towards creating new apps and smart bins which will alert rubbish collectors when theyre full. You can normally tell, cant you . When a bin is full . Chappell but in park and so on, often people leave bags by the side, perhaps they need an alert device so the bins could be emptied. 0r someone just emptied. 0r someonejust to look emptied. 0r someone just to look at it . Emptied. Or someone just to look at it . Your butler . so, lets talk about the big boxing match. Its interesting, you can talk about the boxing fight, the panto, but the other side is this sort of romance, mcgregor story of where he was five yea rs mcgregor story of where he was five years ago, to this extraordinary moment in time and this pay cheque. To be honest, i think every boxer has their hard luck story and they come from, generally, that background and make their way up and out and become millionaires on my word, these two men are already multimillionaires. Mayweather, whose nickname is the money man, will get close to 1 nickname is the money man, will get close to1 billion in career earnings, no matter what happens, in the early hours of tomorrow morning. And mcgregor is always a already a superstar in the ufc mixed martial arts, will take on Something Like 100 million. I imagine they will be able to afford a butler to emptied their bin yes, several. Starting with this superfight yes, several. Starting with this super fight this morning. They weighed in overnight. In his first pro fight under boxing rules, can the mixed martial arts superstar Connor Mcgregor actually beat the greatest boxer of his generation, Floyd Mayweather . The purse is eye watering, with the final paycheck to be determined by pay per view sales. Mayweather looks set to make at least 200 million macgregor about half that. The weigh in, for the junior heavyweight contest, thats an 11 stone limit, was raucous. Thousands of irish fans have travelled to vegas to get behind their man. Mayweather, at a0, is 11 years older, but is unbeaten and has come out of retirement looking for his 50th win but mcgregor has vowed to knock him out. Its the worse shape ive ever seen him, looks blown out, out of shape. Im going to breeze through him, trust me on that. There was a lot of talk about you struggling to make the weight come out was it . 153, im a professional, id made it. Look at me, im in peak physical condition. I put me, im in peak physical condition. Iput in me, im in peak physical condition. I put in the work, as everyone can tell, im ready. It wont go the distance, mark my words. Ijust want to thank the fans, im not really worried about the scale or the last time. This will be Conor Mcgregors la st time. This will be Conor Mcgregors last fight also. Commentary on five live tomorrow morning from about aam. England won the womens cricket world cup last month, this evening in belfast the red roses play in the final of the Rugby World Cup. But standing in the way are new zealand, the number one ranked team in the world. The black ferns are four time champions and beat england in three finals in a row between 2002 and 2010. England are champions, though, which makes tonights match at the Kingspan Stadium a fitting climax to the tournament. Pretty excited by the goal weve been waiting for for so long. The ambition is to get to this final again and its been up our goal all season with this squad of players and its finally here. The second test between england and the west indies looks a much tighter affair. England won by an innings in the first test but were bowled out forjust 258 at headingly. The Windies Shannon Gabriel took four wickets, including Alastair Cook for just 11. Kemar roach also took four wickets. The skipperjoe root was dropped early on, but went on to make another half century, before being caught out on 59. Ben stokes was also dropped a couple of times too, but held the england innings together with a century before he too fell. They took one windies wicket before the close though, the tourists will resume on 19 1 later this morning. Jimmy said there was a lot on offerfor him. Him and broady. We got a few chances tonight. That was really without them playing any attacking shots. If anything, they were looking to get through the night. But when tomorrow comes round, a few more shots will get played, hopefully we get a few more chances. Its one of the biggest days in the rugby league calendar, the challenge cup final at wembley. Hull face wigan this afternoon. Theres lots at stake for one of the most prized pieces of silverware in the sport. Hull are looking to retain the trophy after a thrilling victory against warrington last year, their first wembley win. The warriors are looking to win the challenge cup for a 20th time. I think all the talk externally, the greatness and dynasty s and all that, we havent been doing that, weve come here to win a cup final, thats what we want to do, the rest will take care of itself. All the plaudits and the names will follow. Were going to win, that is the aim. Very assured. Not overconfident. We have a lot of respect for hull. But weve had a great trading week this week. The players are equipped very well and if we do what we practice, weve structured the game plan, make sure we have a clear head, we have a chance of getting a trophy but its going to be a massive one for us.

After the summer break, formula one is back and lewis hamilton, in his 200th grand prix, looks like the man to beat in belgium. The three time World Champion was fastest in second practice at spa yesterday in his mercedes, nearly half a second quicker than championship leader sebastian vettel. If hamilton seals pole this afternoon hell equal the record of 68 set by michael schumacher. The vuelta espana, the tour of spain continues with chris froome in the leaders red jersey.

Hundreds of thousands of revellers are expected to take to londons streets for the Notting Hill Carnival this weekend, but the metropolitan police says there will be extra security to prevent vehicle attacks and to deal with acid related injuries. The forces tactics, including raids and arrests ahead of the event and the planned use of facial recognition technology, to identify potential troublemakers has come in for criticism. Lets speak to emma dent coad, the mp for kensington, who is in our london newsroom. Good morning. Thank you forjoining us. What do you make of the Police Preparations for this years carnival, appropriate . Clearly they think they have been very thorough and have made over 650 arrests. It makes you wonder about the level of policing we have in london day today if 650 arrestable people have been out there and they have had to wait until carnival, the last moment. I know somebody who was arrested ten days ago, a 1a year old boy, without collecting donations but with his father for Grenfell Tower survivors. He was totally innocent and i find it shocking. I hope they are genuine criminals who have been arrested. I just worry about the timescale of this. These people out there all this. These people out there all this time. What are you saying here exactly, do you think the police are being heavy handed in targeting people in the run up to the carnival unfairly . That is a concern. They always do this before carnival, and thats fair enough. People they think who are going there to cause trouble up deal drugs and they arrest and so they can keep them off the streets. I see the rationale behind that where it is fair but knowing that two people apprehended by the police, one was handcuffed. It makes you wonder how on earth they were identified and makes me wonder how many of those other people were genuinely criminals, potential criminals or how many of them has been perhaps mistakenly identified. I just how many of them has been perhaps mistakenly identified. Ijust dont know. There was a reference to eat it by stormzy eight weeks from a tweet from stormzy, who also mentioned glastonbury. It is about targeting the black community, do you think . Ive been going to carnivalfor you think . Ive been going to carnival for over 30 years. In the early days there was police brutality, which i found bloodcurdling. Despite all the improvements in Police Training over the years, i do feel there is that element there still, among some of the police forces, that they see young black people just mingling and they imagine that theyre up no good. I think thats a huge shame. I dont know how they would identify people who are criminals or not. If there are 650 arrestable people out there, why did they wait until carnival . We know there was concern that the anger towards some Authority Figures in the wake of g re nfell Authority Figures in the wake of grenfell may create a kind of flash point for the frustration of local residents at the carnival. Is that a concern for you . Absolutely not. I know greg hands has been upsetting people about this and so has my predecessor. I really, really dont think so. We are not children. Afro Caribbean Community are very respectful of what has happened, eve ryo ne respectful of what has happened, everyone has been affected. Everybody knows somebody who has lost somebody. This is the whole community grieving. Why on earth would there be any kind of flash point . Its like awake, i think. People will be respectful. I cant see that anger coming from carnival, i really cant. Ok, emma, thank you very much. Just a word from the metropolitan police. The officer in overall charge of policing says, we will be uncompromising in ensuring the safety and security of the public and if that means putting a significant effort into dealing with criminality before carnival, i am unapologetic about that and will continue to do so. It is 8 a9am. If you have plans for the weekend you want to know what the weekend you want to know what the weather will do. Thank you and good morning. Bank holiday weekend. A couple of showers around, particular we today, and from wetter weather on monday towards the north west of the uk but other than that, some dry weather, sunny weather and feeling worn once the sun is on your back. A lot more cloud stretching from east anglia to the south west and yesterday, producing the odd spot of rain. A few showers in Northern Ireland and to the north and east of scotland, is in heavy ones in aberdeenshire. 0ne is in heavy ones in aberdeenshire. One or two showers in Eastern England towards the afternoon. The vast majority staying dry. Temperatures into the high teens if not low to mid 20s. 25 the high towards the south east.

Through the day, the cloud increasing in the highlands but for the vast majority of uk, the brice samba, reasonably sunny, perhaps a little more sunshine tomorrow for some in the south compared with today. Across eastern scotland as well. If you are heading off to Notting Hill Carnival, a cracking few days on the way, light winds and sunshine. Dry and a bit more cloud but still some sunshine for the leeds carnival as well. Into monday, bank holiday for many, looking drive. High pressure to the south and east.

That wouldnt be too hard, the warmest day in august but a Bank Holiday Monday, you cant complain. The time is 8 52am. Earlier this summer, sajid javid, the communities secretary said british muslims must do more than simply condemn terror after a spate of attacks. Today, hundreds of community leaders, teachers and Business People will meet for an anti terror camp in staffordshire, the aim to tackle extremism. Were now joined by zahid iqbal, president of Peace Education programme and mariam khalid, a Primary School teacher. Good morning to both of you. Zahid, maybe you could explain why this event is taking place . As you know, we have had a terrible year in terms of terrorist attacks. Just up the road from here we had manchester arena. We had the london attacks and last year nice and berlin. We are very concerned about the issue of radicalisation, particularly in young british muslims. We have organised this three day Training Camp to teach the participants about extremism, the ideology of extremism and to promote how they can promote the counter narratives. We want all these people, the leaders, teachers, young people, to go out into their communities, into their schools and universities and to challenge extremism where they find it and at the same time to act as positive role models for young british muslims. We are always told in the wa ke muslims. We are always told in the wake of these terrible events, we must separate islamist extremism from ordinary muslim members of the communities. There are passages in the koran, much as there might be in the koran, much as there might be in the bible, that taken out of context ina the bible, that taken out of context in a literal translation would supportjihad. How in a literal translation would support jihad. How would in a literal translation would supportjihad. How would you work around that . We have to educate people that these verses and references a re people that these verses and references are completely ta ken people that these verses and references are completely taken out of context. They relate to specific issues to do with say, war between states, not indiscriminate killing of innocent people in markets and mosques or where ever. So its actually teaching them that. Its trying to ensure that people do not misinterpret or misconstrue those verses and the distortion of islam thatis verses and the distortion of islam that is being promoted. Mariam, we talked a moment ago. We often use that phrase eyes and ears. What you are alluding to is how you spot things, early signs of someone being radicalised. The teacher, that might be you, you might be in that position. You hear something, you see something, what do you do . I think we have to be very careful, in terms of sometimes you might hear something that is completely innocent, but my first and foremost duty as a teacher is safeguarding. That also can. As schools we are required to follow the prevent strategy and we need to implement that in schools. So if any teacher finds themselves in the unfortunate situation where they do hear something that they kind of thing, this doesnt sound quite right. You put it to the relevant person within the school and then there is a process that you have to follow. But that in itself is school policy. That comes under something that all teachers. The starting point for that is you, and im only asking you because you are the one who is here, its replicated in workplaces, in universities, it could be in schools. Someone somewhere has to make the first decision of saying, im seeing or hearing something that for some reason is making me feel like something is not right and then deciding whether or not you pass on that thing. That is a big responsibility. It is a big responsibility. It is a big responsibility. When you train to be a teacher, a doctor or any professional, you kind of take that on as part of yourjob because that is essentially part of yourjob. You are looking at the Bigger Picture and safeguarding all people. Children are vulnerable as it is, obviously, and they will say things in innocence, especially when talking about Primary School children. They might not fully understand what they are saying. Im sorry, do you want to pick up on that, zahid . Its incredibly difficult but the key thing is if there is a teacher or social worker orany there is a teacher or social worker or any professional, and where there is some concern, they need to discuss it with the individual concerned and just see, are there signs or are theyjust sort of innocent comments be made . There are signs. You can pick up on things like black and white thinking on them and us mentality, binary thinking. Perhaps that young person is very critical of society and so on. There are things that can be spotted. I think it is up to the teacher or whoever concerned, to tease out what the issues, having a frank discussion, in safe place. Zahid and mariam, thank you very much. It is 8 57am. Around this time every saturday mike bushell shares his latest sporting challenge on this weeks has to be one of the strangest yet. Yes, if i give you a clue its to do with yoga and goats. Mike can explain. This is all about broadening your horizons. There are so many new ways to practise yoga these days, for example on a paddle board in devon. But the class here have also been introduced to an even stranger form down on the farm. We all know how good yoga is for you, spiritually and also for the body. What in devon, they now like to do things differently. Hence were in a barn of straw. They want to bring out the animal in us. I dont know if theyre. Kidding . connecting with the earth. Teacher, donna, has over 70 animal names for her classs yoga positions, but this summer she has been combining animal bonding with yoga moves by introducing pygmy goats to her classes. Were combining all of the amazing benefits of a standard yoga practice along with the benefits of animal therapy. Theres research to prove that animal therapy, when you are with animals and stroking animal, it helps to reduce the cortisol in the body, so the stress response within the body, and it also helps to increase the oxytocin and dopamine chemicals, happy hormones. This does focus the mind on other things, so youre still trying to do the yoga poses but youre concentrating on bonding with our Furry Friends here. They seem to love it there is no evidence and its not being suggested that the goats enhance the physical benefits of yoga in any way when theyre treading on your back, theyre certainly not trained masseurs, but they do bring laughter to a session. They like to nibble on my hair. I think its the blonde hair, maybe it looks like straw im not sure it helps a great deal, but its good for the concentration because you have to work really hard not to fall over while theyre doing it. Strangely very relaxing. When the hooves go into you its therapeutic, like a massage ball. Its funny and funny makes you happy. Ive done laughing yoga before but you have to sort of force yourself to laugh. Here, itsjust hysterical. Goat yoga was first started in america by a farmer who claimed the goats were making her feel better from an autoimmune illness, and the consensus here was that the goats were beneficial and will be invited back every week. Brilliant. Because goats love people. So its great fun. You could be doing pilates or press ups, whatever. We end up in the sleeping dog pose, when the goats are naturally attracted to us, to come and sleep on us as well, maybe. Gorgeous ive never known a yoga class to be so interactive normally you zone out and go into your own world, but this has been very interactive were back to the list of unusual things he gets up to the headlines coming next
