What is set to happen to Office Spaces like this. The bbc spoke to 50 of the uks biggest employers and none of them planned to bring all of their staff back anytime soon. What does it mean for business . And to you and family . We are exploring hidden gems, the natural wonders on your doorstep. You did not necessarily know they were there but now they are a central part of your daily life. Good morning, storm francis packed a punch yesterday and overnight with gusts at 81 mph in the needles. This morning, gusty winds as benchley in central and eastern areas which will ease and then we are in for a day of sunshine and showers. I will have all the details. Its wednesday, the 26th of august. Face coverings will have to be worn in secondary schools in some parts of england after the government changed its guidance last night. It says that pupils and staff in areas which are subject to lockdown restrictions should now wear them in communal areas like corridors. Primary schools are not affected. Our education correspondent Elaine Dunkley reports. It will soon be back to school for children across england, and Face Coverings could be an essential part of their kit. New guidance issued by the government will leave it up to head teachers to decide on whether it is necessary for staff and students to wear Face Coverings in communal areas such as corridors. However, Face Coverings will be compulsory in areas where there is a local lockdown. The government says the guidance does not include Primary Schools, because the risk of transmission is low. But does apply to secondary schools, colleges and universities. I think what weve got is clarity. That if you are in an area which is higher risk, higher transmission rates, then there is an expectation young people around school will be wearing those Face Coverings. But, equally, there is the flexibility in other areas for you as a leader, working with your staff, working with your governors, working with the community, to do what is right in your context. The department for education had initially been reluctant for children to wear Face Coverings in schools because of concern it could make communication difficult between teachers and students. But says it has revised its guidance following scientific advice from the World Health Organisation, which recommends that children over the age of 12 should wear a Face Covering when social distancing is difficult. It should be mandatory, notjust in local lockdown areas, but in all areas for schools, within communal areas, within the corridors, to enforce, to be supported to enforce, face masks being worn for children over the age of 12. I think that will be a clear policy that every school could follow, rather than being told it is up to each individual head teacher to make their own policy, and schools and parents not knowing where they are. Schools in scotland will advise pupils to wear Face Coverings in corridors and shared areas from next week. And Northern Ireland has issued similar guidance. In wales, the issue is under review. Elaine dunkley, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent laila nathoo is in westminster. A slight shift in change of policy by the government and under pressure to go even further. I think the government has left the door open to government has left the door open to go even further saying if transmission rises across the country, the guidance will get stricter, which is something labour are calling for, face mask to be compulsory in all secondary school corridors and areas. They were not calling for their earlier this week, it is worth noting. They have not gone as far as scotland and Northern Ireland, with a complete change of direction. Wales keeping their guidance under review. Ministers think this version of the policy is in line with the World Health Organisation guidance. Worth noting that guidance changed five days ago and since then we have heard ministers defending face masks werent recommended because of the other mitigation measures put in place in schools. It is clear the government has responded to pressure. I think they do not want to look like they were bounced into it by the scottish government, taking action first, which has been the case on other policies in the past, but it is clear i think the pressure was mounting on ministers for a change in direction and they have now made this shift and left the door open to going further. It seems to me they are prepared to ta ke seems to me they are prepared to take the political hit of a reversal, looking like they have not been on the front foot on this issue, if it helps parents, teachers and pupils have more confidence to get back into classrooms, because thatis get back into classrooms, because that is the immediate political priority. You heard borisjohnson, the education secretary also talking about this. The priority is for a full return to classrooms over the coming weeks and that will be a greater political hit if that did not happen. Thank you. We will talk to the education secretary Gavin Williamson at 7 30am. Manchester united captain Harry Maguire has been dropped from the england squad after being convicted in a greek court. The 27 year old was given a suspended 21 month prison sentence, after being found guilty of assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. He denies the charges and says he will appeal. Our Sports Editor dan roan reports. After a long season, Harry Maguire enjoying himself on a well earned break in mykonos last week. But his Summer Holiday was about to descend into scandal. On saturday, after spending two nights in police cells, the £80 million defender emerged from court alongside brotherjoe, one of two co defendants, having been arrested and charged after becoming embroiled in an altercation with police. Having pleaded not guilty, maguire was not required to attend as the trial started earlier in nearby syros. But, on a dramatic day, the court heard that maguire had physically and verbally attacked police before trying to bribe them. Do you know who i am . He is alleged to have said, im the captain of Manchester United. Im very rich. I can give you money. I can pay you. Please let us go. The defence insisted a brawl had earlier erupted after mcguires sister daisy had been approached by two albanian men and injected with an unknown substance. Maguires lawyers claimed their client had later acted in self defence after being kicked by plainclothes officers and had not realised they were police. But, in a verdict that sent shock waves through the sport, the panel ofjudges found maguire guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and repeated attempts at bribery. The players father, who had been in court, emerging after hearing his son had been handed a suspended 21 month prison sentence. Maguire instructing his legal team to appeal and saying in a statement that he and his family were the victims. Only hours earlier, the worlds most expensive defender, who has established himself as a central figure for both club and country, had surprisingly been included in the england squad. Manager Gareth Southgate telling me he saw no need to wait for a verdict. In these instances, i think you can only make decisions on facts you are aware of. Now, clearly, if the facts change further down the line, or information changes, then i have to review that decision. And that is exactly what he then had to do. Tonight, southgate axing maguire from his squad in an embarrassing u turn. Dan roan, bbc news. Harry maguire responded to the sentencing on instagram last night. He posted a quote from buddha, which reads, three things cannot be long hidden, the sun, the moon and the truth. The lawyers for the family of jacob blake say he will need a miracle to walk again, after the 29 year old was shot in the back by police in the us state of wisconsin on sunday. His parents have called for an end to violent protests about the shooting. But they said the officers involved should be held to account. As i was riding through here, through the city, i noticed a lot of damage. It doesnt reflect my son or my family. They shot my son seven times. Seven times. Like he didnt matter. But my son matters. He is a human being and he matters. The Us First Lady Melania Trump took centre stage on day two of the Republican National convention, where she made the case for president Donald Trumps re election. Speaking from the rose garden at the white house, the wife of the president also discussed the coronavirus pandemic, saying her husband will not rest until he has done all he can to take care of everyone affected. Our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. We hold these truths to be self evident. Another night at the trump family convention. The president , two of his children, and his wife all addressed the virtual gathering with the theme land of opportunity. Life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. Tiffany trump, the president s youngest daughter, lashed out at the media and Silicon Valley for promoting what she called fabricated views. People must recognise that our thoughts, our opinions, and even the choice of who we are voting for may, and are, being manipulated, invisibly coerced by the media and tech giants. Im mike pompeo. Breaking from a tradition that us secretaries of state stay above the political fray, americas top diplomat addressed the convention from jerusalem. The president has held china accountable for covering up the china virus and allowing it to spread death and economic destruction in america and around the world. The star of the night was melania trump, stepping out from the white house to deliver a live speech from the rose garden. Another unconventional setting. And with an audience. She said shed been reflecting on the racial unrest seen around america. Id like to call on the citizens of this country to take a moment, pause, and look at things from all perspectives. I urge people to come together in a civil manner so we can work and live up to our standard american ideals. The first lady said she was proud of her husbands achievements in office, acknowledging that he is not a traditional politician. We all know donald trump makes no secrets about how he feels about things. Total honesty is what we, as citizens, deserve from our president. A softer approach to selling donald trump for another term in the white house. Peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. A court in new zealand has heard more stories of survival and loss during the third day of sentencing for the christchurch mosque terror attacks. 29 year old Brenton Tarrant admits killing 51 people while they prayed at two city mosques last year. He faces life in prison without parole. Joining us now live from the high court in christchurch is tv nzs ryan boswell. There is a long delay on the line. Thank you forjoining us. Give us a rundown of another emotional third day in court. These victims have been so brave, confronting the gunman who took their loved ones and changed their lives forever. We were expecting to hear from around 60 victims to front up to court and tell their stories and that number keeps growing as they feel empowered to tell their stories and come face to face with Brenton Tarrant. One man said he could not forgive him for his actions and that tarrant deserved to go to hell. It has been an intense day at the high court in christchurch. Another man also fronting up, in a wheelchair, because he was injured during the shooting, saying his greatest fear was for his ten year old son, who witnessed the shootings taking place, saying he had nightmares and continued to have nightmares about his father being shot and people dying around him. It had been truly traumatic. Watching some of those statements, obviously Brenton Tarrant is in court listening to those statements, but he was laughing during some of them yesterday. Yes, he did laugh, in a couple of points, as people presented their thoughts on what had taken place. At one stage, a victim put down his statement and then addressed tarrant put down his statement and then addressed tarra nt face to face saying that when he had moved to new zealand as a 17 year old, he was called a terrorist himself and that changed on march the 15th and now Brenton Tarrant was the terrorist. At that point the court erupted into applause. What we will see today is applause. What we will see today is a victim impact statements coming to a victim impact statements coming to a close and then the judge will look at the case and weigh up the legal arguments before summing up and then handing down that sentence. Many victims today have been calling for tarrant to be sent to prison for life with no parole. Thank you for the latest from christchurch. That is day three and we expect things to conclude on day four. Lets take a look at todays papers. A few of the front pages this morning are leading with news that some secondary children will have to wear Face Coverings in school. The telegraph says the announcement came despite ministers insisting for days that there would be no change. Pictured is james anderson, who took his 600th wicket in englands test against pakistan last night. You can hear me smiling through my words. The school Face Covering story is also the guardians lead. It says the pm bowed to pressure from head teachers. Harry maguire is on the front of the daily mirror. It says the footballer will appeal his sentence, having claimed, if anything, myself, family and friends are the victims. And melania trumps speech at the Republican National convention has got people talking on twitter. The first lady acknowledged the countrys worries over coronavirus and said the president would not rest until the pandemic is dealt with. Iam doing i am doing some crafty folding. Do you want to start with your inside pages. Are you getting rid of a dodgy image . No, i have two nice stories. This is from the telegraph. This is from the telegraph. This is from the telegraph. This is the red arrows. Flying over arthurs seat in edinburgh to mark the 75th anniversary of vj day. The original fly past on the 15th was postponed because of bad weather. What a picture. Can you see the people on top. What a moment if you were there for that. I have been folding the same page. I was not going to show the same picture. There is a good story lower down about space. Research on the International Space station confirms micro colonies can live in the harshest environments. There is a theory that organisms can migrate between planets, moons and solar systems. Up to one millimetre thick of these cells can survive for Something Like up to eight years in space. So there could be life out there. This would have pleased louise a lot. Top dog liked on social media. Labradors. She has two. She has one. A black labrador and a different one. I am not fully up on that. The dog most like to on social media is the labrador. It is International Dog day. Cocker spaniel second and siberian huskies. They are beautiful dogs. They came third. Important dog news. And remarkable life folding of a newspaper. Impressive. How long do you think you sit down during the day . Obviously three hours in the morning. Ido morning. I do not sit down a lot. Maybe, id say, five hours. If you sit down for more than four and a half hours, you are sedentary. Sedentary britain is the headline. Britain is getting worse with a rise in the number of people who spend more than four and a half hours a day sitting down. The number has jumped 22 to 15 years, one of the highest increases in europe, with more than half potentially risking their health by sitting down too long. We are one of the worst in europe and the study says evidence shows sitting too long increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and early death. There is a problem with this. We sit down three hours a day. I will upset the director now. Lets both stand up. If we both did thejob. There we go. To me, that looks better. This is the issue. Iam not this is the issue. I am not even lit. The director is made in now. I think we should sit down. She is upset we did not give any warning. How do you tell if a bird is happy . What type of song would a bird to be singing . What style of music was that . What style of music do you think . Classical. Brahms, mozart . Tchaikovsky . Jazz. That is how you tell if a bird is happy when it is singing. It seems birds are keen to get in on the act. Biologists believe they do not sing purely to mark out territory, theyjust do it because they enjoy it. If you have those marvellous voice boxes, why not . I feel i have not . Ifeel i have been not . I feel i have been slightly educated. The opioids produced in their brain makes them enjoy it. They sing when they get together. So much to learn. During the height of the pandemic, we were strictly limited in where we could go and what we could do. But for many people, that helped them to find some hidden gems on their own doorstep. Some people will not share them. You asked me this morning and i said i dont want to tell you because i dont want you to come. In the nicest possible way breakfasts john maguire is at Painshill Park in surrey for us this morning. You are going to share because that is magnificent. I will share this park with you and some other locations you might not be aware of. This is a wonderful location and within an hour of london, so you have big populations in the south east of england. Designed in the 18th century by Charles Hamilton who wanted to create Living Paintings and it is magnificent. Visitors have been able to return since the beginning of the easing of lockdown. What weve found, especially when lockdown was strict right at the beginning, was that people were encouraged to take one form of exercise a day which is so important for Mental Health. Green health that is talked about, to get out into the natural environment. Often people found things they did not know were there. Those hidden gems. I have been to see one not far away. I think you will find it quite surprising. You suddenly turn the corner and you see the statues, and this bit, at the time of year we came, there were a beautiful meadow flowers all the way around. It was absolutely lovely. Its beautiful. We arrived and there were just daisies everywhere. And with the statues peeking out. They have a poignancy about them because they are so majestic, really, in a way. You look at them, it is almost eerie, really. This is called the regiment of trees, on parade within one of the woodland trusts First World War centenary woods. Its just a stones throw from the famous epsom racecourse in surrey, but many local people dont know its here. There is no one here. I dont think many people know about it. But i definitely found it, because ijust had a bit more time on my hands over lockdown. So ijust wanted to explore a bit more of my local area and walked and walked and walked and eventually found it. If it wasnt lockdown, i probably wouldnt have come. I dont really like walking that much. Weve done a lot of walking in lockdown. I heard about it a while ago when they were putting in the trees and ijust thought, wow, that looks really good. We have never been able to get here and, after seeing it on instagram, i was like, oh, we have to go. Ive stopped working, so ive got a bit of time, but certainly, i dont think we would have heard about it, because people wouldnt have been talking about it as much, if it hadnt been for lockdown. The sculptures depict an inspection parade of 20,000 men at a nearby base in 1915. While filming, we bump into the sculptor. So many men had signed up as volunteers that there just wasnt enough equipment to go around. So the men that are in the front row were fully equipped with uniforms, and the full equipment and rifles. And, as the rows go back, they get less and less equipment and uniform, and the chaps at the back are standing there in civilian dress. I wanted them to have a haunting presence, so that it gave a sense of place when people come across them. And just down the road, another natural wonder that seems to have come into its own this year. Priest hill was once overgrown and abandoned, but, now, its 86 acres have been reclaimed for nature and for nature lovers. Ive noticed there have been a lot more people coming out with theirfamilies, or using the reserve as a green gym, because everyones gym has been shut down. Its just been really nice to see families connecting with each other and connecting with nature at the same time. I have been able to stop and chat to the bird watchers and see what they are looking at. Everyone actually became a bird watcher. So it has just been a magical place to be. It has often been hard to find the positives in this pandemic, but reconnecting with our natural environment, especially if its right on our doorstep, has been vital in so many ways. Back here at this park, it gets around 130,000 visitors a year, so not exactly a secret garden, but magnificent, and not Everybody Knows about it. Tracy, you are a volunteer here. You have never been here before until recent months. What brought you here . I did a lot of volunteering when lockdown started. I wanted to do something for the community. I realised i was at home seven, eight hours a day working at home, i needed something to make me go outside. This is what i found. What does this place mean to you now . This is my sanctuary now. When i come to volunteer, i am helping, but doing something for my own wellbeing, really. Ispent but doing something for my own wellbeing, really. I spent three and a half hours, i Wander Around, wellbeing, really. I spent three and a half hours, iwanderaround, do ten kilometres, and the world disappears. It is lovely. Music when you Wander Around . No, just the sound of trees and birds. My friends are fed up with my videos, to be fair are you the kind of person who would have gone on long walks a few months ago . I grew up with my dad taking us on walks and we hated them. But now i love them and yearn for it. When i am at home working, i cannot wait for the weekend to come out and do my walks. It is the quiet, the space . How does it make you feel . It is a bit of everything. There are places where you can come and there are people so if you want to be around people, if i am home alone and i want to be around people, i can, alone and i want to be around people, ican, but alone and i want to be around people, i can, but alone and i want to be around people, i can, but i can find a secret place up by the hermitage in the peace and quiet and it isjust me and nature. You have grottoes and follies here. There are so many things to see. And you still find new things . All the time. You have to choose what you will look for everyday otherwise you will be taking photos the whole time. Thank you for sharing your experiences. An interesting thing talking to organisations such as the woodland trust, wildlife trust, around the uk and the national trust, they had their revenue stream badly affected by lack of visitor numbers during those essential times, especially at the beginning of lockdown, so they are trying to catch up, but still providing amazing opportunities. We said earlier, that green health, a sense of open space, freedom, getting out and perhaps reconnecting with nature, especially if it is a place you did not know about before. Iamso place you did not know about before. I am so envious. It is a stunning setting you are in this morning. You are only adding to its beauty. It does look wonderful. That shot with the drone, withjohn in of course. Just beautiful. Look what we are bringing you, peace and tranquillity. I will remain calm now. You are watching bbc breakfast, still to come. As government guidance changes on masks in schools, well be live in leicester where a number of pupils are back in the classroom. A week earlier than most schools, they are back. We ll be discussing that shortly and bringing you the latest news. Now lets get the weather with carol. It was windy out there. Good morning. Good morning. It was very windy yesterday and last night courtesy of storm francis. The needles recorded a gust at 81 mph last night. The rain was the other half of the story. 58 millimetres, in excess of two and a half inches, falling in a 24 hour period in north wales. This morning we still have strong winds. East anglia, cambridgeshire, windy around the needles, the irish sea is windy, but it will ease. For most, sunshine and showers today. This is storm francis pushing towards the netherlands. Windy again down the north sea coast line for a time and we have rain. A warm front across parts of scotland so cloud in the north of the country. As the storm moves away, we will see the winds easing and the rain pulls away. Showers knocking around. We will see sunshine. A specially further south. These are sustained wind speed so nothing like yesterday, as we head through the afternoon. Temperatures a little bit below average for some of us. Glasgow would normally be round about 17 up to 19. This evening and overnight, showers knocking around. Clear skies. Cloud in the door. Again, more showers coming in from the west. We have a weather front coming in across Northern Ireland and parts of wales connected to this area of low pressure which, tomorrow, will make inroads, pushing from the west to the east and bringing rain. We start on a quiet note where we had clear skies in the south, where we will have sunshine. We will have showers across wales, Northern Ireland, Northern England and parts of scotland. The low pressure system then comes in across the south west, introducing more showers and emerging to give longer spells of rain. When you see green and yellow, that is where we expect heavier rain. Temperatures 13 20. From thursday into friday, overnight, low pressure crosses us, taking its time. And we start to import more of a northerly component to the wind, and that is a trend heading to the weekend. Turning cooler by day and night. On friday, rain across england and wales moving away from scotland and Northern Ireland, so a brighter end to the day for you. And sustained winds which are fairly light. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. Well bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. Well be looking at the world of work as some of the countrys biggest employers say their offices could be laying empty for some time. Storm francis battered large parts of the uk yesterday well hear from the rescue team who came to the aid of two men who were wild camping on dartmoor. And well speak to the scottish farmers who found themselves in pharrell and jay zs latest music video after they were contacted on instagram. One of the things we will be talking about his guidance when it comes to Face Coverings in skills on england. It has changed this morning. The governor says peoples and local lockdown areas should wear them in communal areas. The government says. Lets speak to dr william bird, who is our gp this morning. This is the big debate of the day after the government changed that advice late last night. What is your ta ke advice late last night. What is your take on the wearing of Face Coverings in schools . It is compulsory in scotland and Northern Ireland for the majority of pupils and now in lockdown areas there will be they will be worn in england, as well. It was always inevitable. After who had said that teenagers particularly should be Wearing Masks, not younger children but the older children, particularly over the age of 12, so the w wh so said underfive, no, the age of 12, so the w wh so said under five, no, over five the age of 12, so the w wh so said underfive, no, overfive it is up to the discretion of the skill and over 12 they recommended it. Over 12 year olds they behave like adults with covid. It sheds the virus the same way and they get the symptom is not as badly, we know that, not as bad at all, but they do shed the virus and of course you cant keep a whole lot of 12 to 16 year olds in social distancing in school. Its absolutely impossible. It would just be too difficult. To wear masks will mean that you dont get that connection of the virus to the teachers and the virus around the school which could then come to the homes of those in the families and more Vulnerable People getting it. Dont forget, this bubbling up of the virus is always there, particularly in these areas and of course the guidance is only two areas where there is already intervention. Not everywhere. That is up to the discretion of each school. The virus is bubbling under there, so it doesnt take much. Its like putting out little fires all the time and this will help. I think, really, with the who guidance there probably wasnt much choice to go down this route. You have hit the nail on the head in terms of the issue for the government this morning and suddenly we will put these questions to Gavin Williamson in aboutan these questions to Gavin Williamson in about an hour. That who guidance came out on friday and we spoke to the schools minister on monday at the schools minister on monday at the deputy chief medical officer Jenny Harries, and they both said that even though they had seen the guidance, they were still sure that not wearing face masks in school in england was the right way to go. 36 hours later the guidance has changed. It was happening in other parts of the uk, as well. It was inevitable. The evidence coming from who is normally collected from right across the world and they obviously have a huge resource to be able to get this right. It does depend on each country, so every country is slightly different, but certainly i think it was heading that way. I think it was heading that way. I think what we are going to find is that, yes, its going to be difficult for children to be able to concentrate, etc, with these masks, but it will be normal. This will be the normal for the next but it will be normal. This will be the normalfor the next perhaps year. It is almost like fire drills. We are used to fire drills. We dont get fires very often but fire drills, when they happen, we go outside, someone with a yellow vest comes out and does it. That is normal. Wearing masks will be similar. All emotion will be taken out. This will be the normal way. Interestingly there have been some reports and worries that if you wear a mask you are less likely to do other things like social distancing or washing your hands because of this compensation. That is nonsense, apparently. That has been dismissed now. It used to be from bike helmets, people would ride more recklessly on bikes. It doesnt seem to happen uncertainly where people are Wearing Masks they actually increase the amount of time they wash their hands. It is almost like there a presence reminding them that there a presence reminding them that there is something going on and they need to be very aware of how to do other things like social distancing. Very briefly, its worth reminding our viewers that children are least affected of all of us by coronavirus. Exactly. We are not protecting the children, i have to say. The children are very well sorted out with coronavirus. Very rarely will they get into hospital. The rates are absolutely tiny. What we are doing here is keeping the rate of the r number down. If we can keep it below one into september and be on september, the winter will look pretty flat compared if it goes up look pretty flat compared if it goes up to1. 7 by look pretty flat compared if it goes up to 1. 7 by the end of september, where we will get a significant peak injanuary, where we will get a significant peak in january, february. Where we will get a significant peak injanuary, february. This is really trying to keep that level down so children do not become spread is taking it home. Thank you, doctor. Dr william bird, always good to talk to you, have a good day. Thank you. Manchester united captain Harry Maguire has been given a suspended sentence of 21 months and ten days after his trial in greece yesterday. The 27 year old was found guilty of assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. He denies the charges and says he will appeal. Lets speak to greek journalist anthee carassava, whos in athens. Good to see you. We know he will appeal this. He is good to see you. We know he will appealthis. He is going good to see you. We know he will appeal this. He is going to appeal this. I have to say the initial sentence that came down was actually brutal. I counted at least more than 36 months but there was some leniency that was shown by the court and it dropped the sentence to 21 months with a three year suspended sentence. That means that if he comes back to greece and he behaves in the same way within a framework of three years, then he will have to serve those 21 months in jail. Of three years, then he will have to serve those 21 months injail. So what we are expecting right now is this appeals process to proceed. We have not seen it filed yet, but we anticipated. Of course, how has this been received in greece by the authorities in terms of how they have handled this . It was simply a case again, according to the authorities does not by the authorities does not by the authorities are actually extremely relieved. They believed in their case, they believed in their prosecution. The policeman who took the scan were absolutely stunning in their presentation, and itjust came down to the fact that the court was simply not convinced by the narrative which Harry Maguire presented was different in the official presentation of events. They wait denying they have even come across policeman. It was just a very difficult and complex narrative that just didnt very difficult and complex narrative thatjust didnt go anywhere. There was of course the fact that Harry Maguire didnt attend court. Did that make any difference to the proceedings . It didnt make any difference to their proceedings, per se. Because he does have that right and he can be represented by his lawyer. Its not like he did something illegal. But speaking to something illegal. But speaking to some of these offices, while they we re some of these offices, while they were relieved and happy to hear these convictions, they said they wa nted these convictions, they said they wanted to have seen harry in that courtroom. Thanks very much for keeping us back to the macro up to date. Jane has more information on this with the sport. This is the story that dominates the back pages this morning. And understandably because Gareth Southgate included Harry Maguire in the england squad and then yesterday had to take him out after the verdict. It looks like a bit of a u turn but it has to go on the information he was presented with at the time, and at the time he said he had no reason to doubt Harry Maguire. After the verdict was announced yesterday, Harry Maguire reiterated his innocence. In a statement hes said he has instructed his legal team to appeal, saying that his family and friends are the victims in all of this. And Harry Maguire posted on instagram last night. A quote from buddha, which reads three things cannot be long hidden the sun, the moon and the truth. The Manchester United captain had been selected in Gareth Southgates england squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against iceland and denmark. However, in light of the guilty verdict, maguire was then later dropped from the squad. In a statement, england manager Gareth Southgate confirmed that he had withdrawn maguire from the squad for the upcoming matches. He said, having spoken to Manchester United and the player, he had made the best decision in the interest of all parties, taking into account how it would impact the squads preparations for next week. Englands summer of test cricket is over and it was a memorable final day forjames anderson. He became the first fast bowler in history to take 600 test wickets, as england completed a series win over pakistan. The final test ended in a draw but the day was all about one man, as andy swiss reports. Hes englands wicket ta ker turned history maker. 600 up forjimmy anderson, and a moment of cricketing magic. Not that one seemed likely earlier a decidedly soggy southampton meant they couldnt play until tea. But the man nicknamed the Burnley Express promptly roared into the record books. Thats the wicket. The first englishman to take 600 test wickets, and the first fast bowler anywhere. Azhar ali the victim snaffled by joe root. No crowd, of course but it deserved an ovation. It was back in 2003 that anderson took his first test wicket. Since then, the hairstyles may have changed but the hunger hasnt. Now 38, hes reached a remarkable landmark. Im delighted to get there. To get the 600 was really special and obviously sharing that moment with the guys ive played a lot cricket with was making it even more special. The match itself ended in a draw it meant the series went to england, but the day belonged to him. Andy swiss, bbc news. Andy murray admitted he had a poor performance against milos raonic, losing in straight sets in the last 16 of the western southern open in new york. Murray, who had an impressive win over world number seven Alexander Zverev yesterday, couldnt continue his form, losing 6 2, 6 2 against the canadian. It was raonics first win over the brit in six years. Im not happy with that level of performance, to be honest, so. Yeah, clearly a lot of work to do on my game over the next few days before the us open starts. But, yeah, the positive is that i got three matches in and, you know, physically, you know, in terms of my hip, it felt good. Played a couple of long ones, as well, got through them. But, yeah, not happy with tonight at all. Whilejohanna konta continued her good run in new york. Shes through to the quarterfinals thanks to a straight sets win over vera zvonareva. She faces Maria Sakkari next. The greek beat Serena Williams two sets to one. Exeter chiefs continued their impressive form in rugby unions premiership last night. The League Leaders narrowly beat second placed bristol 25 22 away from home. The chiefs were actually behind going into the final ten minutes, before this late push over try for billy keast to make it three wins from three since rugbys restart. Could we be nearing the biggest transfer in football history . After 16 years at the club, lionel messi has asked to leave barcelona with immediate effect. The argentinian, whos regarded by many as the best player of all time, sent a message to the club yesterday, saying that he wants out. This comes just over a week after barcelona crashed out of the Champions League after being thrashed 8 2 by bayern munich. Of course the big question is, where will he go . The most interesting aspect of this story is that a p pa re ntly aspect of this story is that apparently he sent the message to barcelona via fax machine. Fax machine . Apparently so, allegedly so. When did you last user facsimile or send one . About 2001, for me. In the 19905 in a very old newsroom in glasgow, i think a. The 19905 in a very old newsroom in glasgow, ithink a. Id love the 19905 in a very old newsroom in glasgow, i think a. Id love to know,. Glasgow, i think a. Id love to know,. I know you are interested in 5urnamed li and messy but im interested in fax machines. If anyone still has one and regularly u5es anyone still has one and regularly usesit anyone still has one and regularly uses it let me know. It is 6 45am. In less than a week mo5t pupils in england will return to the classroom, but many schools in leice5tershire have already opened their doors. Term 5tarted yesterday, with students getting used to socially distanced le55on5 and extra hygiene measures. Geeta pend5e is at a secondary school in oadby. Of course, in scotland and Northern Ireland, school5 of course, in scotland and Northern Ireland, schools are already back. Good morning. Good morning. Yes, its such a big week here at manor high school. Year seven and 11 were back yesterday, they came back to a lot of changes, including signage all across the school. You can probably see these yellow circles, showing there is a one way system in place. They have these plans that 5tu d e nts place. They have these plans that students can look at in case they are worried about where they can go when you enter a new space. There are hand 5aniti5ing stations when you enter a new space. There are hand sanitising stations that all students need to use and also lots of bins, as you would imagine, all across the school. We have seen an army of cleaners this morning who are part of this quite intensive regime every day to make sure that the school is ready for those stu d e nts to the school is ready for those students to arrive. Ill be chatting to the head teacher in a moment about what its been like. Theyve had theirfirst day, about what its been like. Theyve had their first day, today is day two. Before then, ive been to a Primary School nearby to see how the staff there have been adapting school life for younger pupils. The front entrance may look familiar, but theres a lot thats changed at kibworth Primary School. Im really sorry, lots of boxes. Head gilly has been at the helm of a mass operation to get the school ready to welcome back all 600 students. All the children are going to have all their own equipment now. So weve bought all the children their own pencil case. Theyve all got their own place to sit. Shall we go inside . Oh, yes, of course. Could you sanitize your hands on the way, please . Children will be in social bubbles of 30, spending most of their time in one classroom, and then forming a super bubble with their year group during play time. Youve got these stations, as well, i notice. Weve just had these put in just this last week. So all the year groups have outdoor sinks, as well, and they all have automatic hand sanitizing. The classes have all been rearranged, so students face forward and sit side by side. Teachers are advised to keep a 1. 5m distance. Obviously you can see, with the tables out, it is going to be very different and children will need to learn how to sit at the table. But i think with the right modelling and explaining to the children, hopefully in time, you know, theyll just adapt to it. Of course, pe is a very popular subject, but like everything else, it has had a massive overhaul, and archery seems to be winning here at kibworth. Harrison, youre deep in cleaning mode at the moment, youre in charge of pe here and youve had to make a lot of changes. We have had to make a lot of changes. Weve had to pretty much base all our pe outside now. So weve left the hall as it is. Weve had to completely amend all of the curriculum golf, tennis and then bringing in different types of football that involve not picking the ball up and using their hands. In the kitchen, staff have created a menu with two lunch options one hot and one cold. It all goes into a bag and the hot food goes in the box. And then somebody comes in their bubble and takes the food to the classroom. Big changes here. So how do parents feel . I think they need it. Theyve been missing their friends and definitely need to have the routine of school. I feel excited. Like, so much. I guess we all feel a bit apprehensive from time to time. But i feel confident that the schools taken precautions and that its going to be as safe as possible. If a child does show symptoms of covid 19, what will you do . Well, thats the purpose of the social bubbles, is to limit the amount of people that you have contact with, and of course, the contact that you do have so has the child had face to face contact with other children . Have they been within two metres . But the overriding thing and i think its what makes me far less anxious is that Public Health england will advise us exactly what we should be doing. Theres a lot of planning in place. All that the school needs now are the students. So they will be very excited and also a little bit nervous about seeing those students return. Here at the man at high school they already have students returning, yesterday was day one. Liam powell isa yesterday was day one. Liam powell is a head teacher. You have had year seven and year 11 and from tomorrow the whole school will be back. What was day one like, how where they feeling close i really exciting. For year seve ns feeling close i really exciting. For year sevens it was their first day in big school so they were all buzzing. We welcome them in, took them to their new tutor group and them to their new tutor group and the year 11 is could not wait to get back. We talk about the magic of the manner in this skill. They were excited to see each other, the staff we re excited to see each other, the staff were in high spirits and we couldnt wait. You sound very excited but clearly so many changes to ensure safety. What have you been doing here . There are lots of steps in place. Sanitisers everywhere, one way systems, staggered break times, lunch zones. We have gone to a50 times, lunch zones. We have gone to a 50 day plan with our learning, which means every child will have a whole day in a particular subject so there is no need or a student or Staff Movement are. A big talking point has been face masks. As we know now the guidelines have changed. If you are in an area experiencing a localised lockdown, stu d e nts experiencing a localised lockdown, students from september will have to wear first masks students from september will have to wearfirst masks like in communal areas. How do you feel . wearfirst masks like in communal areas. How do you feel . I welcome the announcement, it is a good thing and sensible. It is in line with what we were doing already, making it optional for pupils to use masks. Many of our students have parents in the medical profession and they were already sending them in with masks. There is no restriction. If the children coming on the bus they have to wear one anyway, or if they go into a shop. There is no great shock but this school itself was in lockdown two weeks ago so now we are in line with national policy, which is good. Students return for a day to hear and hopefully we will be able to speak to a few of them about how they are feeling. Look forward to that, thank you. That in leice5tershire. If you just turned on your tv, some schools are back in leicestershi re on your tv, some schools are back in leice5tershire in england. Schools backin leice5tershire in england. Schools back in scotland for a couple of weeks. We were live in a school yesterday in Northern Ireland. The majority of english skills are back next week. Good luck if you are back at school, enjoy it. Since the beginning of this month, staff in england have been encouraged to go back to work. But is office life returning back to normal . Nina has been finding out. Shes behind. Next to that big red bull. Im walking through the office doors because that is something most of you havent done in such a long time. Welcome to moneypenny, an office in wrexham. What they do here is handle outsourced calls and live chats for thousands of other companies. They have been gradually bringing back a third of their staff but the bbc have spoken with 50 of the uks biggest employers and what they have told us is that none of them, not one, have plans to bring all of their staff back anytime soon. What does that mean for business . We will talk about that in a second but of course every Company Including this one is all about its people. What is working from home like what have we learnt . Meet the wrights. Lucy works in marketing. Dave is an account manager. Theres gus. And for hamish well, posing for us isnt exactly his top priority. And since the end of march, the wrights have been working from home. Its been a mixed bag. It was a bit of a challenge initially, wasnt it . Yeah, very much. Er, you know, we had to very quickly kind of work out when we were working and when we were parents. Theresa fire fire on the chair the boys, all they want is for us to be at home all of the time. So what was so good is that they were happy, and thatjust made everything so much easier. It has been difficult, sort of finding that balance between the work and where the work stops and where the parenting begins. But weve been very lucky that weve been able to split our work throughout the day so theres always been one parent with the children. Feel like, you know, give us a little pat on the back that weve kind of managed it, you know. I mean, if you didnt get stressed you should have more than a pat on the back you should get a medal laughter. I wish i could say that we dont get me wrong, you know, they were. Has been some hairy moments. You know, and it helped, you know, obviously, everybody else is in the same situation. There you go. Thank you. Ideally, i think wed all like to have a mix of both. Thats the ideal for everyone, isnt it . Ifeel like ive learned how to be a better mummy and separate things a bit more. Do you think, because of lockdown, that balance will be better . Being able to say this is work and this isnt i think weve all been a lot better at that. You know, yes, this is really important. But so are these guys. Yeah. Thats finished now. Right now im just mummy and thats that. Thats work a bit of work. Where . A bit of work. This is joanna, lucy this isjoanna, lucy and daves boss. They assured me even with hamish and gus at home that they we re hamish and gus at home that they were equally productive working from home. Has that been the case . Have you been able to do yourjob as an organisation with people working from home . Absolutely. We spun up a home working model in just three weeks, which is amazing. Most of the teams have been just weeks, which is amazing. Most of the teams have beenjust as productive. Some even more so than teams have beenjust as productive. Some even more so than they would be in the office. Now it is about taking a step back, taking a look and seeing how we move forward and we got the right model to keep our people and clients happy. We got the right model to keep our people and clients happylj we got the right model to keep our people and clients happy. I find working at home with the kids really difficult. But they separated home and work life by closing the door, saying, you have the kits for two hours they now have them. Thats been successful. When you look at this office environment. It is incredible. It presumably comes with overheads. What happens to this place if people are not in it . |j really do believe the way forward is an Agile Working environment so that we have got this model to use. Cost saving is really not our driver. Delivering a Great Service for our clients is our driver and making sure we have safe, secure and happy people. You are saying earlier in a sense because of this hybrid model it means you can grow your business without needing more office space. Thats right. We are recruiting at the moment, 150 people are actually starting before the end of october, which is incredible. It does mean this office space will last a bit longer than it would have done ordinarily because we have created a home working model. Ordinarily because we have created a homeworking model. Do you see a time when every desk will be full . I dont suppose as possible. As a business we have to take in all the government guidelines and use a big dose of common sense and make sure we are doing the right things for the people. And everybody liked joanna, every business we spoke to, we spoke to 50 of them, they are still learning. These are early days but ibs, 50,000 of their staff working from home. Virgin money, the admiralgroup, they working from home. Virgin money, the admiral group, they all saying same thing. For the rest of this year, working from home will be the normal. We have much more on this in our podcast with sean. Lots of advice about working from home and what the future environment will look like a. Thank you very much. Cracking office. Gorgeous. We need to speak to carol. Gorgeous skype but a very blustery last night, wasnt it . You can say that again. Storm francis really packed a punch. Good morning. Beautifulskies, beautiful skies. Rugged cloud here by one of our weather watchers from hereford this morning. Bit of sunshine, stark contrast to yesterday. Today we still have gusty winds, particularly through the irish sea channel, the north sea coastline, east anglia, cambridgeshire for example. Through the day the winds will ease and we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. This is a storm francis pushing into the near continent. Still those isobars close together but then we have this ridge of High Pressure coming in. It is a transient ridge, wont be with us for very long. Gusty winds to start the day, very slowly easing. We also have rain to start the day, most will clear and quite a bit of cloud across the northern half of the country, Northern England and scotla nd country, Northern England and scotland in particular. Through the afternoon, one or two showers and we are looking at temperatures of 13 to 23 degrees, so it will feel much better than it did yesterday. As we head through the evening and overnight, we will still have some showers around. Maybe some clear skies. Bit of cloud in the north of the country and more showers start coming in from the west. A cooler night in Northern Areas compared to southern areas. Tomorrow, the reason we have showers coming in from the west is we have this clutch of fronts based around an area of low pressure that will be coming in from the west. Not much in the way of wind at this stage around this. We start off with clear skies in some parts, so we will see sunshine. But we do have a lot of showers, and some of them will merge across Northern Ireland, scotland and Northern England. Everyone is coming in across the south also merging to give heavier downpours. When you see green and yellow, those are the heaviest bursts. Temperatures 13 in the north to 19 in the south. Below parfor the north to 19 in the south. Below par for this the north to 19 in the south. Below parfor this stage of the north to 19 in the south. Below par for this stage of the year. Overnight thursday into friday, the low pressure continues to push steadily towards the north sea. The wind veered to a more northerly component so it will start to cool down and that will be a trend as we had on through the weekend. On friday, wet across england and wales, start off white across Northern Ireland and southern scotla nd Northern Ireland and southern scotland and Northern England, but for you it is going to brighten up. It will be breezy on friday, especially along the north sea coastline, but even more so as we head into the weekend. The cold northerly wind and gusty winds but there will be some sunshine, but also chilly nights. The headlines are next. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. Our headlines today. Face coverings will have to be worn in secondary schools in england but only in areas which are under local lockdown. Footballer Harry Maguire is dropped from the england squad after being given a suspended prison sentence in greece. The Manchester United captain is to appeal the verdict. Harry maguire says he and his family are the victims and he has the backing of his club. Us First Lady Melania Trump Takes Centre Stage at the Republican Convention and calls for americans to come together. We are exploring hidden gems. The Natural Green spaces probably on your doorstep that you discovered during lockdown and in recent months. Its wednesday, the 26th of august. Face coverings will have to be worn in secondary schools in some parts of england after the government changed its guidance last night. It says that pupils and staff in areas which are subject to lockdown restrictions should now wear them in communal areas like corridors. Primary schools are not affected. Our education correspondent Elaine Dunkley reports. It will soon be back to school for children across england, and Face Coverings could be an essential part of their kit. New guidance issued by the government will leave it up to head teachers to decide on whether it is necessary for staff and students to wear Face Coverings in communal areas such as corridors. However, Face Coverings will be compulsory in areas where there is a local lockdown. The government says the guidance does not include Primary Schools, because the risk of transmission is low. But does apply to secondary schools, colleges and universities. I think what weve got is clarity. That if you are in an area which is higher risk, higher transmission rates, then there is an expectation young people around school will be wearing those Face Coverings. But, equally, there is the flexibility in other areas for you as a leader, working with your staff, working with your governors, working with the community, to do what is right in your context. The department for education had initially been reluctant for children to wear Face Coverings in schools because of concern it could make communication difficult between teachers and students. But says it has revised its guidance following scientific advice from the World Health Organisation, which recommends that children over the age of 12 should wear a Face Covering when social distancing is difficult. It should be mandatory, notjust in local lockdown areas, but in all areas for schools, within communal areas, within the corridors, to enforce, to be supported to enforce, face masks being worn for children over the age of 12. I think that will be a clear policy that every school could follow, rather than being told it is up to each individual head teacher to make their own policy, and schools and parents not knowing where they are. Schools in scotland will advise pupils to wear Face Coverings in corridors and shared areas from next week. And Northern Ireland has issued similar guidance. In wales, the issue is under review. Elaine dunkley, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent laila nathoo is in westminster. Good morning, another change in policy by the government. We will speak to the education secretary live on this programme in 25 minutes. They are under pressure to go further. They have left the door open to going further and going for a full reversal and making face masks mandatory in secondary schools across england, if transmission rates rise. That is something labour are calling for. What they have done so far is go for a partial change, just bringing measures in in areas where there are local lockdowns and giving head teachers across the Board Discretion to do what they feel is best in their own schools. I think this shows the government was responding to pressure that had been building after scotland had changed its policy in response they said to the World Health Organisation guidance for recommendations for children over 12. That happened some days ago and it has taken ministers this time to get there in the end, despite previous things about protections already brought in. It seems the government is prepared to change its advice and i think the imperative has clearly been to give pa rents, imperative has clearly been to give parents, teachers and children the reassurance they need to get back to school, which is the main Political Task ahead in the coming weeks, to make sure that is safe and happens fully. If wearing face masks in corridors and communal areas for some secondary School Pupils go some way to reassure people, i think ministers are prepared to take the political hit if you like of reversing policy. We will find out more about that policy from Gavin Williamson at 7 30am. Manchester united captain Harry Maguire has been dropped from the england squad after being convicted in a greek court. The 27 year old was given a suspended 21 month prison sentence, after being found guilty of assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. He denies the charges and says he will appeal. The lawyers for the family of jacob blake say he will need a miracle to walk again, after the 29 year old was shot in the back by police in the us state of wisconsin on sunday. His parents have called for an end to violent protests about the shooting. But they said the officers involved should be held to account. As i was riding through here, through the city, i noticed a lot of damage. It doesnt reflect my son or my family. They shot my son seven times. Seven times. Like he didnt matter. But my son matters. He is a human being and he matters. A clean up operation is under way after storm francis saw winds of more than 80 Miles Per Hour battering parts of britain. Over 50 people were rescued from flooding around the uk. In wales, two separate searches for people thought to have gone missing on the river taff are due to be resumed today after being called off due to poor weather conditions. Andy moore has this report. A british summer. At the seaside. This was newhaven in east sussex yesterday when what looked like a classic autumn storm arrived just a few weeks early. Several places around the country recorded their highest ever gusts of wind in august the highest reading was 81 mph on the isle of wight. On dartmoor, two young men who went wild camping on an island in the river dart awoke to find wild waters all around them. Around 30 people were involved in their rescue, including a Specialist Team from the fire service. In Northern Ireland, the fire service rescued 37 people from flooding. One of the worst hit places was newcastle in county down. Just in the space of ten, 15 minutes, everything was underwater. And then i went up to the end here and tried to get sandbags. There were no sandbags at that stage. And then the rain is still coming, the School Entrance was flooded and we couldnt get to the school. One local politician said the town was like a disaster zone. On the river taff near cardiff, the Emergency Services searched all day after reports that a canoeist had capsized his boat. There was another search downstream for a second person reported in trouble in the water. Both operations were suspended yesterday afternoon but are due to resume this morning. Andy moore, bbc news. The Us First Lady Melania Trump took centre stage on day two of the Republican National convention, where she made the case for president Donald Trumps re election. Speaking from the rose garden at the white house, the wife of the president also discussed the coronavirus pandemic, saying her husband will not rest until he has done all he can to take care of everyone affected. Our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. We hold these truths to be self evident. Another night at the trump family convention. The president , two of his children, and his wife all addressed the virtual gathering with the theme land of opportunity. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Tiffany trump, the president s youngest daughter, lashed out at the media and Silicon Valley for promoting what she called fabricated views. People must recognise that our thoughts, our opinions, and even the choice of who we are voting for may, and are, being manipulated, invisibly coerced by the media and tech giants. Im mike pompeo. Breaking from a tradition that us secretaries of state stay above the political fray, americas top diplomat addressed the convention from jerusalem. The president has held china accountable for covering up the china virus and allowing it to spread death and economic destruction in america and around the world. The star of the night was melania trump, stepping out from the white house to deliver a live speech from the rose garden. Another unconventional setting. And with an audience. She said shed been reflecting on the racial unrest seen around america. Id like to call on the citizens of this country to take a moment, pause, and look at things from all perspectives. I urge people to come together in a civil manner so we can work and live up to our standard american ideals. The first lady said she was proud of her husbands achievements in office, acknowledging that he is not a traditional politician. We all know donald trump makes no secrets about how he feels about things. Total honesty is what we, as citizens, deserve from our president. A softer approach to selling donald trump for another term in the white house. Peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. One of the main stories we are looking at is how guidance for head teachers when it comes to Face Coverings in schools has changed, over the past 2a hours. In england, they will now be compulsory in secondary schools where local coronavirus lockdowns are in place. Everywhere else, it will be up to head teachers to decide whether theyre required. The changes come into force on 1st september. From monday, all secondary School Pupils in Northern Ireland will be required to wear Face Coverings in corridors and shared spaces like libraries. Similar changes are being introduced for all secondary School Students in scotland, but also include school buses. And in wales, a decision on whether children will need to wear Face Coverings in schools will be made today. Were joined now by the general secretary of the association of school and college leaders, geoff barton. And calum semple, who is a professor of child health and outbreak medicine at the university of liverpool. Good morning. What do you make of this change to guidance . Here i was this change to guidance . Here i was this time yesterday morning essentially saying parents looked at the World Health Organisation and seeing what is happening in scotland, they will inevitably say what does this mean for my child in england . We called for the government not to say whether covering should or shouldnt, saying you need to give us clarity and they have done that. We know if you are in an area of high risk you will have to wear a Face Covering in secondary schools. If you are not, thenit secondary schools. If you are not, then it will be at the discretion of your school or college. That clarity, which gives flexibility, will be welcomed not by everybody, but i think a lot of head teachers and Senior Leaders i represent. But i think a lot of head teachers and Senior Leaders i representm flexibility what is needed . Would it not be easierfor flexibility what is needed . Would it not be easier for head teachers and pa rents to not be easier for head teachers and parents to know it was one rule for all. In scotland you wear them in corridors and communal areas. Why not have the same rule in england rather than restricted to areas with local lockdowns . It would be easier politically in a sense it would be easy for government to say look at the Bold Decision be made. Schools differ a lot, in the size of corridors and communal spaces, in the plans head teachers and governors have put in place. We know the hierarchy of controls, making sure there is hand washing and keeping children separate, those things are more important than Face Covering. To be able to say in the school yes we will all be will not require you to wear a covering, or if you want to wear one fine, but you dont need to because other things are more important, it reflects the way the english Education System has worked, giving more responsibility to head teachers who are trusted by their communities and know their context. We have spoken to guests over the past days who felt when they saw the who advice on friday that this would be an inevitable change. Did you see it that way, professor . I did not, actually, the evidence generated by Public Health england is there are few outbreaks in schools. And where they have occurred the majority have been from staff to staff rather than from pupils to staff or pupils. The most important factors are hand washing and social distancing. Face coverings are the icing on the cake. Given what you have said, is this pressure to make a change . given what you have said, is this pressure to make a change . I think it is consistency to bring it in line with other parts of the uk and the who. That is not a bad thing because it makes management easier for everyone to be consistent. Do you not think it is necessary for children to wear masks in communal areas . For young children, frankly, i dont. The risk to themselves is very low and where there are other measures in place such as social distancing, and children are incredibly well behaved. They are much better behaved in the classroom supervised by a teacher than adults in the pub over a pint of beer. This is slightly different, this is secondary School Children and this is about communal areas, walking between classrooms indoors in corridors for example. Public Health England did a survey and they found only two macro outbreaks in secondary schools and they were very small events. No children got sick. It can cause problems for teachers. I think we dont need to see facemasks in classrooms. What we are looking at is the use of Face Coverings potentially in the areas where there is less supervision. Do you think that is necessary . As i said, it is a small help but the majority of Infection Control has to remain around hand washing and social distancing. We cannot assume because someone wears a mask it will ta ke because someone wears a mask it will take away all risk. Jeff barton, a criticism of the government is they are removing from responsibility on theissue are removing from responsibility on the issue and putting pressure on head teachers. What do your members think of that . They will see it in a different way and say we know about curriculum, teaching. There are certain things we do not know about, Public Health, so tell us what we need to know. And then allow us to customise that knowing exactly what facilities we have. We saw that in leicestershi re facilities we have. We saw that in leice5tershire in your report with a School Leader doing extraordinary things. That is the way leaders will respond to this. For the first time to many, a government that has felt corporaljones like and on the back foot, it is giving time to the majority of schools to look at what they are saying to parents and saying we will leave it like that because we do not think Face Coverings will be a distraction in our school, and others will say we require them in communal areas because we do not have space for young people to keep socially distant. That is grown up policy making which will largely be welcomed by head teachers. Policy making which will largely be welcomed by headteachers. policy making which will largely be welcomed by head teachers. If a head teacher decides that Face Coverings are not necessary. They do not need to be worn in communal areas, and there is an outbreak, whose fault is it . I am not sure i see it in terms of fault. It is about risk. We are trying to get young people back to school. If there is an outbreak, we are school. If there is an outbreak, we a re clear school. If there is an outbreak, we are clear about what you need to do, an individual would be sent home and tested and Public Health would tell us. They are in bubbles. The whole bubble would potentially be required to isolate. Absolutely. I would not make the clear link between that and Face Coverings, because they are not wearing Face Covering suddenly a bubble would end up being sent home. It is part of the hierarchy of risk. It is part of the hierarchy of risk. It might give more assurance to the young people but the most important stuff is basic hygiene and doing the best we can to keep young people separate in year group bubbles. Professor, do you think it is something we will have to get used to . Our children are already prepared to wear Face Coverings on buses. And in shops. Wearing them in school will be in place for sometime . I think this will be the new normal. It will be interesting to see how children use them as fashion items and personalise them. We could see some fun here. Good to talk to you. Thank you very much. Fascinating discussion this morning and we will pick up some of those points with Gavin Williams in the education secretary in ten minutes. Manchester united captain Harry Maguire has been given a suspended sentence of 21 months and ten days after his trial in greece yesterday. The 27 year old was found guilty of assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. He denies the charges and says he will appeal. We can speak now to a lawyer who assisted the prosecution in the case. We should say you are not the prosecution lawyer, you assisted. It is different in greece because you can be hired to assist. What role did you play . Can you hear me . U nfortu nately did you play . Can you hear me . Unfortunately not. We will try to get that line established. The lawyer who assisted in the prosecution. What i learned today, i Love Learning something new, is that in greece, you can hire an extra assistant prosecution lawyer. They are private and hired to help with the national prosecution. I feel i the national prosecution. Ifeel i am the national prosecution. I feel i am learning so the national prosecution. Ifeel i am learning so much the national prosecution. I feel i am learning so much from you this morning. Shall we have another go . Yes. Are you there . Yes. We were talking about the role you played as an assistant to the prosecution. Can you describe it . In the system like greece and france, the victims can hirea greece and france, the victims can hire a private lawyer to assist the prosecution, which is always a public official. I was hired by two victims, two policeman assaulted and verbally and physically, so that was my role, to represent the victims. Tell me what you consider with the verdict, which was handed down, are you happy with that . Well, the court accepted the arguments of the policeman. They have been assaulted and that the three defendants were guilty as charged. We are not happy or unhappy, we think justice guilty as charged. We are not happy or unhappy, we thinkjustice has been served. On the other hand, we are not happy because my clients are still awaiting an apology, orjust a simple the accused are sorry for what happened. What i would like to say is i represent policemen who we re say is i represent policemen who were just say is i represent policemen who werejust doing theirjob say is i represent policemen who were just doing theirjob and suddenly they were beaten up by people who were tourists and who should be having fun and instead of that they were hitting people that we re that they were hitting people that were policemen who were just doing theirjob and this is not acceptable. I must say Harry Maguire and his defence team have not been interviewed here on the programme so i will say Harry Maguire said he will be appealing and all three men denied the charges. There was the claim on the defence team that the mcguire brothers were victims of police brutality. So there are two sides to the argument. You said you would like to have heard sorry, what difference would that have made . On some of the charges, my clients have the right to withdraw them, so probably, if an apology had been made, maybe they would have withdraw the charges. If an appeal is filed, under greek law, there will be a retrial. The case can start afresh. We are still awaiting may be for an apology. If there is no apology, when the retrial gets under way, what is the procedure now in terms of timings. They have ten days to file an appeal and then a retrial will take place at a higher level court in maybe a year, may be two. Would you play a role in that . court in maybe a year, may be two. Would you play a role in that . If my clients want it, of course i will be available. In terms of preparation for the case, how much time. Do you think there was enough time for either party to prepare for this case . It seem to happen very quickly. I do believe there was enough time. The timeframe was normal under greek procedure, because they were given three days and access from the first day to all prosecution papers, as well as myself. The time was enough because really it is a simple case of assault. It is not a complex legal case. I do not understand when they say they did not have enough time. They had three lawyers and access to all the case files from the first day. There was enough time in my opinion. You as a resident in greece, a citizen, how has it been perceived, this case . It has attention here for obvious reasons because of Harry Maguire being a player and captain of Manchester United. How was it received there . Greece is different. I do not think he is as famous in greece as britain. However the case has more been received as. Here he was seen in his private capacity, a tourist on vacation. He did not follow the law. It is more of a tourist misbehaving, it is received more like that, misbehaving and trying to get away by saying he is rich and famous. Ok, very interesting talking to you. The lawyer who assisted the prosecution. Thank you for your time. I should say as well, all three men have denied all charges and Harry Maguire has said following the hearing he instructed his legal tea m the hearing he instructed his legal team with immediate effect to inform the courts that an appeal will be taken and he said he remained strong and confident regarding innocence in this matter. And that if anything, myself, family and friends are victims. We will speak to our sport editor about that later. Have you found locked a challenge . But one of the positives, it has given many of the opportunity to look around our local area. Do you know what has benefited, golf courses. During lockdown, so many people were looking for places to walk and some of the parks were shot, so they used golf courses and they welcome people. Now they have thought, i can do this. Team sports cannot be played as much, many people are adopting goal. Many golf courses have had a boost in membership. John maguire is out and about finding hidden gems you have discovered and he is at a beautiful one in surrey this morning. It is stunning here at Painshill Park. We are less than an hour from london. You can hear aircraft flying out from heathrow this morning. It has a fascinating history. A lot of local people do not know it is here. Busy lives. One of the hidden positives of lockdown was to take stock and perhaps get out and reconnect with nature. Some of the benefits of green health we talk about. Lovely to see the vineyards this morning. The grapes have more growing to do before harvesting. This was created in the 18th century but in recent decades fell into disrepair and was reclaimed and landscaped and is stunning. Those hidden gems are interesting. It does not matter how big or small they are. You do not need to go to the middle of a National Park. It can be a walk around your block. It has given people opportunity, when time seemed to stand still at one stage, to reconnect with nature and find out about what is on their doorstep. We will find out about more of the hidden gems later in the programme this morning. It looks amazing. Let us know about your hidden gems. What is yours . Some woods in sheffield. I will come down and spend some time. That is why it is a hidden gem. Carol can come. Carol has the weather. Good morning. Thank you. I shall go, shall i . What a shame, never mind. This morning, it is a quieter start compared to yesterday. Having said that, we have gusty winds, 30 a0 mph in land and more than that on the coast. But they will continue to ease. This is a picture of windsor sentin ease. This is a picture of windsor sent in this morning. Yesterday gusts of wind at 50 mph in the evening. Today, drier, feeling warmer and looking at sunshine and showers. This is storm francis that has moved away to the near continent. You can see isobar still tightly packed which is why we have gusty winds and also rain. It will move into the north sea through the day. We have a weak weather front across parts of scotland bringing more cloud to Northern Ireland, scotla nd more cloud to Northern Ireland, scotland and Northern England. Moving further south, in the rest of england and wales, we are looking at sunshine. Temperatures today 13 in the north, 23 in the south. This evening and overnight, clear skies and cloud in the door. Still some showers. In the second half of the night we see a new area of low pressure introducing more showers into Western Areas. It will not be a cold night in the south. It will be fresher as we push further north, looking at a low of nine. Tomorrow, here is the atlantic lay with the accompanying weather fronts. Coming into Western Areas slowly and pushing eastwards. We start tomorrow under clear skies in the south with sunshine. We have cloud in the north with showers. As low pressure comes in it will introduce more showers across england, wales, parts of scotla nd across england, wales, parts of scotland and Northern Ireland. Where they merge, we will see heavier bursts. That is denoted by the yellow on the chart. Temperature disappointing, 12 in aberdeen. 19 in london. Thursday into friday, the weather front pushes across, heading towards the north sea. The wind veers to a northerly and a cooler direction. On friday, rain across england. Northern ireland and Northern England and southern scotla nd Northern England and southern scotland to start with but it pushes south, so it will brighten up for you with a few showers. It will be breezy and feeling cold. Temperatures 12 18. Particularly breezy down the north sea coastline. On saturday, more so down the north sea coastline. Breezy everywhere but big waves crashing onto the coastline of norfolk. At the same time, cold starts to the day as it will be cold overnight. More in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. We will speak to the education secretary in a few moments. Lets bring it up to date on the main story. Face coverings will have to be worn in secondary schools in some parts of england after the government changed its guidance last night. Childen and staff will be required to wear them in communal areas like corridors but not during lessons. In areas outside of local restrictions, it will be up to head teachers to decide whether theyre required. Scotland and Northern Ireland have already said the measures will be introduced into all secondary schools and the Welsh Government is reviewing its guidance. Hopefully we can speak to the education secretary Gavin Williamson whojoins us now education secretary Gavin Williamson who joins us now live on education secretary Gavin Williamson whojoins us now live on bbc brea kfast. Whojoins us now live on bbc breakfast. Good morning. Good morning, im sorry for being a bit late. Thats quite all right. I know youve just sat down, so while you gather your thoughts, what ill do is play are you a clip from interviews we had on monday. Two days ago. One is the schools minister, nick gibb, the other is the deputy chief medical officerJenny Harries. We put to them why the government had changed its advice given what was published on friday and this is what they said. Provided schools are adopting all the measures that i talked about, the hygiene, the cleanliness, the bubbles and so on, in schools, then they are not recommending use of face masks in school. It does inhibit the process of being taught and the process of education in school. They do have to wear masks on public transport and on dedicated home to School Transport. So children over 11 will be required to wear masks in those circumstances. But where children are with the same Consistent Group of people each day, the current scientific advice is it is not necessary to do so. We are recommending in public settings, public transport, children over 11 wear Face Coverings. That who report also noted that children, certainly 15 and under, are not very compliant. It also suggests children who are running and jumping and playing should not be Wearing Masks. Those interviews both took place in two days ago. Can i ask you first of all, education secretary, what Scientific Evidence has changed, has come to light since those interviews and prompted the change . As you will be completely aware, when we first issued the guidance, this was back in may, for schools to be returning from the 1st of june in may, for schools to be returning from the 1st ofjune in a sort of primary settings and then in some secondary settings. And then, when we introduced the further guidance backin we introduced the further guidance back injuly we introduced the further guidance back in july for the full we introduced the further guidance back injuly for the full return of schools in september, we have co nsta ntly schools in september, we have constantly said that this is something that stays under review at all stages. We have reached the decision, and this was very much with, yes, looking at the who, but also most importantly constant discussion with Public Health england. And actually, in the case of the small number of schools where there is high transmission rates within the community, and this is only a very small number of areas where there are local lockdown is, that we felt that it is best to take the most careful and the most cautious and the most precautionary approach and recommend for secondary schools and only secondary schools that youngsters and those staff wear Face Coverings in communal areas, but only in local lockdown areas. So. As you will have read from the who report, actually they talked about only very high transmission areas. We are really fortunate in this country. Most parts of this country have incredibly low transmission rates in terms of coronavirus and there is only a small number of areas that are sadly in the situation of having local lockdown. We are taking the most precautionary and careful approach because we recognise that there were some concerns that were being poised by voiced by teachers and those working in schools as schools as well as parents and local lockdown. We understand that. Well as parents and local lockdown. We understand that. Ij well as parents and local lockdown. We understand that. I didnt mean to speak across, sorry. Im trying to speak across, sorry. Im trying to make the point that the who report came out on friday and we conducted those interviews on monday and both nick gibb and Jenny Harries we re and both nick gibb and Jenny Harries were adamant the advice was as it should be on monday. Nothing has changed scientifically yet you are saying the science has made you change things so what has prompted that decision . I ask you that because one senior conservative mp, a quote from last night. He said he was disgusted and disappointed. It is beyond comprehension why this was not done earlier. It is a mess after mess of his own government, u turn after u turn, parents and teachers will lose confidence in the party. We have constantly said that this is something that is under review. We made the decision a few weeks ago to recommend Face Coverings for home to School Transport because we felt that was the correct thing to do. Reducing the risk of transmission but also ensuring there is real confidence for it youngsters as they get onto that home to School Transport, and also parents as they send their children off to school. What we are talking about is a small number of schools which are subject to local lockdown is in their area. And what we recognise is so important, we cannot have a system where we have schools returning for the overwhelming majority of the country where you are seeing children going back to school but in those local lockdown areas, it may be schools not returning because we wa nt be schools not returning because we want schools to be returning in every pa rt want schools to be returning in every part of the country. So putting an extra level of precaution and reassurance to both pupils, pa rents and reassurance to both pupils, parents and staff, we felt was an important thing to do. But this affects a very small number of schools, as you have covered. I know you have covered it extensively in the programme. There is a very small number of areas the programme. There is a very small number ofareas in the programme. There is a very small number of areas in the country that are subject to local lockdown. Skills that will be subjected to doing this mandatory in secondary schools in those local lockdown areas and purely in communal areas. It will not be extended beyond that . Know, there is no intention of extending it beyond that. Because as bothjenny extending it beyond that. Because as both jenny and nick extending it beyond that. Because as bothjenny and nick said, actually, thatis bothjenny and nick said, actually, that is not what is required. Where you are seeing in local lockdown areas we recognise the importance of making sure that we maintain education in every part of the country. The labour party. The last thing we ever want to see closed is schools, and we need to ensure that all schools are open so children are able to access our world class children are able to access our world class education that we all wa nt to world class education that we all want to see them benefiting from and seeing all to pot returning over the next few weeks. And we have already seen, in areas this week, such as leicester and leice5tershire, schools starting to come back, welcoming people. Next week there will be even more local Authority Areas that will welcome children back, and of course the week after that more local authorities and schools welcoming children back and thatis schools welcoming children back and that is really our focus, ensuring there is a safe, comfortable environment for youngsters to be able to enjoy school and actually have all the joys and benefits. You know. Have all the joys and benefits. You know. You have all the joys and benefits. You know. You have made that point a number of times and i would like to ask you some questions. The psychological benefits of being back with their friends and back with their teachers. Mr williamson, im going to ask you to not keep talking about world class education. You have mentioned that. Im going to ask some questions and hope for some a nswe rs. Ask some questions and hope for some answers. You wouldnt expect me not to be enthusiastic about delivering world class to be enthusiastic about delivering world class education and welcoming children back. I understand what it feels like you are talking down the time so feels like you are talking down the time so i dont get to ask questions. Labour were calling for Face Coverings to be introduced in all secondary skills as in scotland and Northern Ireland. Can i ask you. It feels to some people that youre putting the pressure now on to head teachers to make these local decisions. Why not make it mandatory . Well, we dont believe that making it mandatory is the right decision. The right step in terms of Public Health advice we have received from Public Health england. It would be contrary to have the best scientific and medical advice making it mandatory in every school. Do you feel. This is another thing that has been, i suppose, the accusation that has come your way, that there is a need for clear guidance from the top. That has not come over the last few days. And you are removing yourself from the circle of responsibility at a time when that guidance is needed more than ever. What we have done is listened at every stage to the best scientific and medical advice. You know, in some ways what you are saying is the easiest thing would be to make it mandatory in every School Across the country, but the best scientific and medical advice is a saying that that is not the right decision to make. The who is a saying that that is not the best advice to make and actually reading the report it says that this should only be done in high transmission areas and that is why we have taken the route that we have actually taken. So we are taking a sort of sensible, pragmatic approach, and at every stage, if we go back tojune, when we were able to welcome over 1. 6 million children back into the classroom right across england, we have seen us take a very careful and very cautious approach to welcoming children back. But at every step of the way. Ok. Taking a pragmatic approach and we have to have confidence in terms of School Leadership, you know, the head teachers who are just so looking forward to, as all teachers are, actually welcoming back all children, seeing those smiling faces, and getting back. Teaching your children. We have been looking at that this morning. It lifts the height. Ok, listen. We dont have much time left. Can i ask you to be brief in your answers. There are a few i would like to ask you before we need to go elsewhere. Of course. This comes on the back of the mess over exams and we have heard in the last few days that the quual chief executive Sally Collier has a step down. Did you ask her to do so . No, this was a decision that sally made. An incredibly dedicated and committed public servant. And in discussions with the quual board, which as you are aware is that non ministerial government department. That was a decision between them. Ok, so the question i wa nt to between them. Ok, so the question i want to ask you this money is why is she the only one to go so far . This is what borisjohnson said yesterday. Certainly not going to deny that if the government faced a similar situation as it did over exams again, it would take a different approach. You either man who was responsible for that approach. Do you take responsibility yourself for what happened with white last week on this programme, my colleague louise asked you several times whether you had considered your resignation. You didnt answer that last week, so do you take responsibility for what happened over exams, and the change of direction that we have seen in the last 2a hours over at the wearing of Face Coverings in schools . Well, what we see the whole country inn is dealing with an unprecedented situation in terms of the global pandemic. But do you take responsibility for the issues in your department . And we have had to make big decisions. You saw in terms of moderated grades, this was the same decision, same policy approach that was taken by labour and liberal democrat government in wales, the same approach taken by an snp government in scotland and the same approach taken by a dup sinn fein government in Northern Ireland. It isa government in Northern Ireland. It is a common approach in terms of how we felt it was best to do. But what was absolutely the right thing to do was, for quual, when it made the decision that it did, in terms of moving to a Centre Assessed grade, that was the right decision to do when there were those concerns, and of course, you know, at every stage, taking responsibility to make sure that we deliver the very best for all young people, but also making sure that we are absolutely focused on delivering all ten pot to be opened over the next few weeks and welcoming all children back into schools. I will ask you one more time because you are obviously not keen on answering. This is about trust, i think. Keen on answering. This is about trust, ithink. I keen on answering. This is about trust, i think. I trust from teachers and parents and students about your department and government getting these huge decisions in education, at this really crucial time, right. Every time you are being interviewed at the moment you are being asked about your competency in the job and you are not answering that question. And i think it is coming to the point where it is a distraction from the job. So do you take responsibility for the mistakes you have made . Well, at every stage everyone takes responsibility for what they do and how they approach things. What we are focused on is making sure we deliver the best for children right across the country. The approach in terms of exams, moderated grades, it was a common approach across all foreign nations of the uk. The approach had broad Political Support across all political parties, but we do recognise that there were problems as a result of that approach, and we did have to change. Quual and other exam boards up and down the country had to make that approach and it was incredibly difficult and incredibly tough. It is important that if things. It is a lwa ys is important that if things. It is always important to ensure we always do the right thing by young people. That is what we ended up ensuring that we did last week, but the most important thing we can do for all young people is ensure that all schools are open and all children are welcomed back into their education, starting from. Well, starting from this week, going through next week and the following week. That is where our focus is. Gavin williamson, thank you. Thank you for having me. 7 47am. Lets find out whats happening in the sport. Harry maguire definitely a focus. Manchester united captain Harry Maguire has been dropped from the england squad after being given a suspended prison sentence in a greek court. The defender was found guilty of assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery on the greek island of syros. He was arrested along with his brotherjoe and their friend, christopher sharman, on thursday after an altercation with police. After the verdict was announced yesterday, Harry Maguire reiterated his innocence. In a statment hes said he has intructed his legal team to appeal, saying that his family and friends are the victims in all of this. And he posted on instagram last night. A quote from buddha, which reads three things cannot be long hidden the sun, the moon and the truth. The Manchester United captain has become a key part of Gareth Southgates england team and was named in the squad yesterday afternoon for the upcoming Nations League matches against iceland and denmark. The england manager had said he has spoken to maguire but after the guilty verdict came in things changed. In a statement, england manager Gareth Southgate confirmed that he had withdrawn maguire from the squad for the upcoming matches. He said, having spoken to Manchester United and the player, he had made the best decision in the interest of all parties, taking into account how it would impact the squads preparations for next week. Englands summer of test cricket is over and it was a memorable final day forjames anderson. He became the first fast bowler in history to take 600 test wickets, when he removed pakistan captain azhar ali, as england completed a series win over pakistan. The third and final test ended in a draw, with England Running out of time to take the wickets they needed, but there was time for anderson to reach the latest milestone in his career. Delighted to get there. You know, it was looking likely that we wouldnt get any play in today, so to get out there and get the chance to get that record, or get the 600, was really special, and obviously sharing that moment with the guys that ive played a lot of cricket with was making it even more special. Andy murray lost in straight sets to milos raonic, ending his good run at the western southern open in new york. Murray, who had an impressive win over world number seven Alexander Zverev yesterday, couldnt continue his form, losing 6 2, 6 2 against the canadian whom he beat in the wimbledon final in 2016. Whilejohanna konta continued her good run in new york. Shes through to the quarter finals thanks to a straight sets win over vera zvonareva. Konta faces Maria Sakkari next. The greek came from a set down to beat Serena Williams, taking the final set 6 1. And lionel messi has told barcelona he wants to leave. The argentine, whos regarded by many as the best player of all time, sent a message to the club yesterday, saying that he wants out. The club is in turmoil after finishing the seeason without a trophy. Manchester city are the favourites to sign him. In Manchester City, you have pep guardiola, who knows him, who has an Incredible Team who plays happy football. I think they both know each other very well. It wont be easy, but i think after this fax, there is a big chance for that to happen. Its really only Manchester City or at paris st germain who could afford the buyout clause. He could be coming to britain. You are saying earlier that he informed barcelona via fax. I love this. The last time you used it was when you it were in a newsroom a long time ago, was it . In glasgow. I wont tell you the year because then you can work at my age and we arent going there that white i bet i was in a newsroom before you, trust me. Lows of people have been in touch with fax machines. Most people use them. Guess which kind of business uses them the most . No idea . Jayne . Nhs . Pharmacies. For prescriptions. Lows of pharmacies have been in touch saying that they have been using fax machines to have prescriptions and things are faxed over from the doctors. Mirena works in an office where the fax machine is used daily. Its amazing how many customers cannot use their phones to send e mails. Marlene works in an office. Ive used a fax machine called magic. We have a fax machine and it isnt even a switched on. Good to see you. Maybe you can investigate that one and bring back old memories. Fax machines are still being used, old school. Yes, i tell you what. Im going to start looking around the office to find the old equipment and see if it still works. Modern equipment doesnt always work at the bbc. How dare you laughter 0h, laughter oh, dear. Storm francis battered parts of the uk yesterday with gusts of more than 80mph and more than a0 people rescued from flooding. This footage shows the moment one rescue took place in devon, where two men who were camping on an island in the river dart woke up to find themselves surrounded by rapids. Lets talk now to mattjohnson from devon and somerset fire and rescue service, who were in charge of the rescue. Hejoins us now from dartmoor. He was in thanks so much for talking to me this morning. What happened . Hello. Hello. Hello, yes, what happened, these two lads decided to go camping ona these two lads decided to go camping on a monday night and they chose to go on this Little Island in the river dart and this is in a really remote bit of dartmoor, in a wooded area. They pitched their tent, went to sleep and in the night, it absolutely poured down. Storm francis. They walk up to find themselves completely surrounded by a raging torrents of water. They walked the island the night before and found themselves completely marooned in the morning. We are looking at the pictures. Where they are allowed to camp there . We say wild camping but there are some areas where you can camp wildly but some you shouldnt. Was this an area that was already kind of approved . You are right. Certain areas of dartmoor you can wild camp so it is really restricted. And there are conditions that apply to that. This area was not in that area where you wild can. They should not have been camping there, strictly. Yeah. Never mind, they did it. They needed rescuing. Tell me about the effort involved. It wasnt a simple, lets make a phone call and get someone to give us a lift. Absolutely not. They we re very give us a lift. Absolutely not. They were very lucky because they were spotted in the morning by some white water kayak is that were taking advantage of the water in the river. They got in touch with them because they have no phone signal where they were. Hikers then put the phone into us, we made our way to the nearest bit of road we could get to and then we got the National Park ranger who helped and we used our four wheel drive vehicles. We got quite near and then the rest of the way we had to make on foot, carrying our equipment. We got to them, made contact, and as you saw in the video we have a small rescue a sled, like a little boat. We tethered it and got that across to them and got them into that boat. They were very lucky that the hikers have spotted them. Im going to say that the impression i have of you as you are an affable fellow, a lovely natured gentleman. That is the impression i have of you. But at what i would say is when you. But at what i would say is when you look at the list, people involved when it comes to the team you had to deploy. 18 fire and rescue staff, ten ambulance crew from a specialist Hazardous Area Response team. One dartmoor park ranger and several hours of your time. I cant imagine you were smiling when that happens, especially when you do think storm francis was raging and. These are troubled enough times as it is. Youre right. There were an enormous amount of resources deployed but we are not in the business of telling people off and being killjoys. They are people off and being killjoys. They a re really people off and being killjoys. They are really nice lads and they made a mistake with what they did. They said sorry . They were embarrassed and thankful and grateful for all the efforts that went into it. All i would say is we were just glad they we re would say is we were just glad they were safe. We would just like to say thats not just in were safe. We would just like to say thats notjust in times of storm francis or its dorms, but water, be it the sea or rivers or lakes, it can be really dangerous and people com pletely can be really dangerous and people completely underestimated and the message i would like to give this morning is for people just to take a bit of time and care to do a bit of research into what the weather is doing, whether its safe to do what they are doing and there is lows of information out there on the intranet with the met office and the Environment Agency and rnli. Our fire service website. Get some information, check out what you are doing, make sure it is safe, seek advice. If there is any doubt, dont do it. That is the key message, rather than us telling people off. Even when you tell off it seems like you are quite nice. In a lovely manner. Thats fine. Thank you so much, and thank you, as well. Im sure the gents are very grateful to you and the incident commander. Good luck for it today. I hope it is acquired today for you. Thank you, thank you. What a friendly fellow are my favourite person this morning. Always makes a change when someone actually answers your questions, as well, doesnt it . Here is carol with the weather. It was interesting talking to matt about how people need to get as much information as they are going out. You have it for a specific places. Thats right, especially when there isa thats right, especially when there is a storm forecast. We had storm francis yesterday. Today we have the back edge of iso buys around that storm which are affecting parts of central and eastern areas. But through the course of the rest of the day the winds will continue to ease and the rain, as we have here in kegworth in leicestershire, will tend to move away. That was one of our weather watchers pictures. Here is another in the isle of wight. Lovely blue skies. Through today, the forecast is one of the sunshine and showers, continuing to calm down. So this is the storm we had yesterday and you can see the iso buys now pushing out into the north sea through the day with a ridge of High Pressure right the way across us, settling things down. We start off on a windy note, particularly through central and eastern areas. A fair bit of sunshine, as well. Then we run into the cloud as we move to the north midlands and Northern England with some rain. Northern ireland, cloudy for you. England with some rain. Northern ireland, cloudy foryou. Ill england with some rain. Northern ireland, cloudy for you. Ill be across much of scotland with rain, as well. As we push up into the north of scotland, something drier and brighter with some sunshine. Through the day there goes that rain, the wind continues to ease, still a fair bit of cloud left behind, still a few showers knocking around. Sunny skies across southern parts of england, the midlands, wales and Northern Ireland. Even here you could catch the odd shower. Temperatures 13 to 23, still feeling warmer than yesterday. Through this evening and overnight we will have the cloud in the northern half of the cloud in the northern half of the country, still some showers, some clear skies further south. Then a new area of low pressure coming our way from the atlantic. It is going to introduce some showers. Tomorrow we have those showers coming in across Northern Ireland, South West England, wales, pushing into Northern England, parts of scotland. Some of the showers merging to give longer spells of rain and whenever you see green and yellow on the chart, that is telling you you can expect some heavy bursts of rain. Disappointing temperatures by this time of year, only 12 in aberdeen to about 20 in norwich. On friday, we have rain to start the day across scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England, but its bushs south. For the rest of england and wales it will be fairly wet. Behind that, some sunshine. A breezy day, especially along the north sea coastline so it is getting colder. Headlines next. Good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. Our headlines today Face Coverings will have to be worn in secondary schools in england but only in areas which are under local lockdown. And i am at one of the first schools in england to reopen to students. We will be chatting to some of them about how they are feeling and what changes are in store. Footballer, Harry Maguire, is dropped from the england squad after being given a suspended prison sentence in greece. The Manchester United captain has maintained his innocence throughout and will appeal the verdict. Harry maguire says he and his family are the victims and he has the backing of his club. Good morning. What is going to happen to offices like this. The bbc has spoken to the uks biggest employers and that one are bringing their staff back anytime soon. What does that for your employer and your family . Something has tickled you . Just laughing at nina shouting. Its wednesday the 26th of august. Face coverings will have to be worn in secondary schools in some parts of england after the government changed its guidance last night. It says that pupils and staff in areas which are subject to lockdown restrictions should now wear them in communal areas like corridors. Speaking earlier on this programme, the education secretary Gavin Williamson said it wouldnt be extended beyond that. Our Political Correspondent laila nathoo is in westminster. Leila, what exactly has the education secretary said . I think the message that came across was that this was an extra layer of precaution, thats how he described it, an extra level of precaution and reassurance in those areas where there are local lockdown is an transmission in a community is high. So minister seen this change of policy as not only responding to the World Health Organization guidance changing, but also targeting it at the areas where Community Transmission is high, trying to stress they are responding and being flexible in response to concerns because they want to ensure this full return to schools across the country over the next few weeks. Have a listen to what Gavin Williamson had to say. We are really fortunate in this country, most parts of this country have incredibly low transmission rates in terms of coronavirus and there is only a small number of areas that are sadly in the situation of having a local lockdown. But we are taking the most precautionary and careful approach, because we recognise there were some concerns that were being voiced by the teachers and those who work in schools, as well, of course, parents where there has been a local lockdown. I thing interesting to hear, Gavin Williamson saying there are no plans to extend this requirement across the country beyond those areas that are in local lockdown is, as is the case in schools in scotland, and the Northern Ireland and wales they will be reviewing their guidance today. I think the other part of this policy is that head teachers do have the discretion to make their own decisions when previously, masks we re decisions when previously, masks were not recommended. Now, it is up to head teachers, individual schools to head teachers, individual schools to make the decision as to what they see it being best. We could see Face Coverings becoming more common across england, despite the fact they are only recommended in local lockdown areas. So a shift in policy from the government, not wanting to appear like they have been bounced into it because of the pressure and the change in scotland. But the message coming from Gavin Williamson, the education secretary, is that the full return to schooling across the country is the priority and if they have to change the message and face masks in secondary schools, then so be it. Thank you for going through that with us. Manchester united captain Harry Maguire has been dropped from the england squad after being convicted in a greek court. The 27 year old was given a suspended 21 month prison sentence, after being found guilty of assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. He denies the charges and says he will appeal. Our Sports Editor dan roan reports. After a long season, Harry Maguire enjoying himself on a well earned break in mykonos last week. But his Summer Holiday was about to descend into scandal. On saturday, after spending two nights in police cells, the £80 million defender emerged from court alongside brotherjoe, one of two co defendants, having been arrested and charged after becoming embroiled in an altercation with police. Having pleaded not guilty, maguire was not required to attend, as the trial started earlier in nearby syros. But, on a dramatic day, the court heard that maguire had physically and verbally attacked police before trying to bribe them. Do you know who i am . He is alleged to have said, im the captain of Manchester United. Im very rich. I can give you money. I can pay you. Please let us go. The defence insisted a brawl had earlier erupted after mcguires sister daisy had been approached by two albanian men and injected with an unknown substance. Maguires lawyers claimed their client had later acted in self defence after being kicked by plainclothes officers and had not realised they were police. But, in a verdict that sent shock waves through the sport, the panel ofjudges found maguire guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and repeated attempts at bribery. The players father, who had been in court, emerging after hearing his son had been handed a suspended 21 month prison sentence. Maguire instructing his legal team to appeal and saying in a statement that he and his family were the victims. Only hours earlier, the worlds most expensive defender, who has established himself as a central figure for both club and country, had surprisingly been included in the england squad. Manager Gareth Southgate telling me he saw no need to wait for a verdict. In these instances, i think you can only make decisions on facts you are aware of. Now, clearly, if the facts change further down the line, or information changes, then i have to review that decision. And that is exactly what he then had to do. Tonight, southgate axing maguire from his squad in an embarrassing u turn. Dan roan, bbc news. The lawyers for the family of jacob blake say he will need a miracle to walk again, after the 29 year old was shot in the back by police in the us state of wisconsin on sunday. His parents have called for an end to violent protests about the shooting. But they said the officers involved should be held to account. As i was riding through here, through the city, i noticed a lot of damage. That doesnt reflect my son or my family. They shot my son. Seven times, seven times. Like he didnt matter. But my son matters. Hes a human being, and he matters. The widow of pc Andrew Harper will meet home secretary, priti patel, as part of her campaign to create a new law meaning those who kill emergency workers are jailed for life. Pc harper died after being dragged by a car on a country road last august. The home office has now been in touch with lissie harper to arrange a meeting about harpers law for early september. More than 500,000 people have signed a petition calling for the law to be introduced in pc harpers memory. A clean up operation is under way after storm francis saw winds of more than 80 Miles Per Hour battering parts of britain. More than 50 people were rescued from flooding around the uk. In wales, two separate searches for people thought to have gone missing on the river taff are due to be resumed today after being called off due to poor weather conditions. Andy moore has this report. A british summer. At the seaside. This was newhaven in east sussex yesterday when what looked like a classic autumn storm arrived just a few weeks early. Several places around the country recorded their highest ever gusts of wind in august the highest reading was 81 mph on the isle of wight. On dartmoor, two young men who went wild camping on an island in the river dart awoke to find wild waters all around them. Around 30 people were involved in their rescue, including a Specialist Team from the fire service. In Northern Ireland, the fire service rescued 37 people from flooding. One of the worst hit places was newcastle in county down. Just in the space of ten, 15 minutes, everything was underwater. And then i went up to the end here and tried to get sandbags. There were no sandbags at that stage. And then the rain is still coming, the School Entrance was flooded and we couldnt get to the school. One local politician said the town was like a disaster zone. On the river taff near cardiff, the Emergency Services searched all day after reports that a canoeist had capsized his boat. There was another search downstream for a second person reported in trouble in the water. Both operations were suspended yesterday afternoon but are due to resume this morning. Andy moore, bbc news. The Us First Lady Melania Trump took centre stage on day two of the Republican National convention, where she made the case for president Donald Trumps re election. Speaking from the rose garden at the white house, the wife of the president also discussed the coronavirus pandemic, saying her husband will not rest until he has done all he can to take care of everyone affected. Our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. We hold these truths to be self evident. Another night at the trump family convention. The president , two of his children, and his wife all addressed the virtual gathering with the theme land of opportunity. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Tiffany trump, the president s youngest daughter, lashed out at the media and Silicon Valley for promoting what she called fabricated views. People must recognise that our thoughts, our opinions, and even the choice of who we are voting for may, and are, being manipulated, invisibly coerced by the media and tech giants. Im mike pompeo. Breaking from a tradition that us secretaries of state stay above the political fray, americas top diplomat addressed the convention from jerusalem. The president has held china accountable for covering up the china virus and allowing it to spread death and economic destruction in america and around the world. The star of the night was melania trump, stepping out from the white house to deliver a live speech from the rose garden. Another unconventional setting. And with an audience. She said shed been reflecting on the racial unrest seen around america. Id like to call on the citizens of this country to take a moment, pause, and look at things from all perspectives. I urge people to come together in a civil manner so we can work and live up to our standard american ideals. The first lady said she was proud of her husbands achievements in office, acknowledging that he is not a traditional politician. We all know donald trump makes no secrets about how he feels about things. Total honesty is what we, as citizens, deserve from our president. A softer approach to selling donald trump for another term in the white house. Peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. Where you one of those children who really looked forward to going back to school after the summer schools, or who dreaded it . I was desperate to get back. So was i6 weeks off is a long time. We wa nt so was i6 weeks off is a long time. We want to see your mates. I actually wanted homework. You are such a geek. But a brilliant geek. Thank you. In less than a week most pupils in england will return to the classroom, but many schools in leicestershire have already opened their doors. Term started yesterday, with students getting used to socially distanced lessons and extra hygiene measures. Geeta pendse is at a secondary school in oadby. Hopefully you have a few guests to speak to, what is happening . The first students, the keen ones have arrived or here at manor high school. This is their second day, it opened yesterday to year seven and year 11 students and they have seen a lot of change. Things like one way systems, there is a plan in front of a lot of the classroom showing where they can go. As you enter a new space they have these antenna sizing stations and bins all across the school. Hand sanitising stations. This is to minimise contact between stu d e nts this is to minimise contact between students and staff. There is a lot more they will have to adjust to. We will be chatting to some of the stu d e nts will be chatting to some of the students about what it has been like to return and how they are feeling on day two. First, i have been looking around a Primary School in leicestershi re looking around a Primary School in leice5tershire that is reopening this morning, and to see how they are adjusting their class, their school life for younger pupils. The front entrance may look familiar, but theres a lot thats changed at kibworth Primary School. Im really sorry, lots of boxes. Head gilly has been at the helm of a mass operation to get the school ready to welcome back all 600 students. All the children are going to have all their own equipment now. So weve bought all the children their own pencil case. Theyve all got their own place to sit. Shall we go inside . Oh, yes, of course. Could you sanitize your hands on the way, please . Children will be in social bubbles of 30, spending most of their time in one classroom, and then forming a super bubble with their year group during play time. Youve got these stations, as well, i notice. Weve just had these put in just this last week. So all the year groups have outdoor sinks, as well, and they all have automatic hand sanitizing. The classes have all been rearranged, so students face forward and sit side by side. Teachers are advised to keep a 1. 5m distance. Obviously you can see, with the tables out, it is going to be very different and children will need to learn how to sit at the table. But i think with the right modelling and explaining to the children, hopefully in time, you know, theylljust adapt to it. Of course, pe is a very popular subject, but like everything else, it has had a massive overhaul, and archery seems to be winning here at kibworth. Harrison, youre deep in cleaning mode at the moment, youre in charge of pe here and youve had to make a lot of changes. We have had to make a lot of changes. Weve had to pretty much base all our pe outside now. So weve left the hall as it is. Weve had to completely amend all of the curriculum golf, tennis and then bringing in different types of football that involve not picking the ball up and using their hands. In the kitchen, staff have created a menu with two lunch options one hot and one cold. It all goes into a bag and the hot food goes in the box. And then somebody comes in their bubble and takes the food to the classroom. Big changes here. So how do parents feel . I think they need it. Theyve been missing their friends and definitely need to have the routine of school. I feel excited. Like, so much. I guess we all feel a bit apprehensive from time to time. But i feel confident that the schools taken precautions and that its going to be as safe as possible. If a child does show symptoms of covid 19, what will you do . Well, thats the purpose of the social bubbles, is to limit the amount of people that you have contact with, and of course, the contact that you do have so has the child had face to face contact with other children . Have they been within two metres . But the overriding thing and i think its what makes me far less anxious is that Public Health england will advise us exactly what we should be doing. Theres a lot of planning in place. All that the school needs now are the students. We have some students here at manor high school, which reopened yesterday. We can ask them how they are feeling. We have neave from year 11. What was it like returning with all of these changes within the school . At first it was going to be scary but the staff have been really supportive, so we know exactly where we need to be and where we are going. For the year seven as well, staff have helped them. You have been away for awhile, what were you worried about . Because i am doing my gcses, i was worried i was going to be behind. But with the five hour lessons, i think we can catch up. Thank you. In the school, the year is essentially form a year seven student here, so yesterday was your first day at secondary school and you had all of these changes as well, what was it like . It was quite frightening at first but then i got used to the changes and i settled in. There was a one way system so you didnt bump into that many people. There is a hand sanitiser section so i can clean my hand so i wasnt worried about catching anything. How do you feel today coming back to school . anything. How do you feel today coming back to school . I feel quite nice coming back to school, i feel quite lovely, just coming back into school. Thank you so much. Liam powell is the head teacher here, that must be nice for you to hear . What was the first day back like, you have had so much planning to make the school as safe as possible . It has been a busy period running up to this but yesterday when year seven came on site they were excited. We havent been able to do a lot of the induction stuff, but we will do it today and they year 11 is as well, they were excited to be back. The whole of the school will return and something that has been a lot of conversation about, we have seen this change in guidelines about Face Coverings so if students live in an area where there is a localised lockdown from september, they will have to Face Coverings in communal areas, otherwise it is down to the head teacher to decide, how do you feel about that . to the head teacher to decide, how do you feel about that . I welcome the news, it makes perfect sense. The school was in lockdown a couple of weeks ago. I like the fact that the government decision has empowered head teachers to make a decision which is best for their particular context. We are talking about the students, of course, but what about staff, i imagine there has been a lot of anxiety . There has been that we have been in communication with staff and parents throughout the holidays. We had some training days on friday and monday and staff morale is very high and they had a real can do attitude when it came to planning lessons. You have the whole school back tomorrow . We will have 900 pupils and almost all the staff. We have everything planned out and we have been working on this for months, so we looking forward to it. Thank you so much. They are very quiet at the moment andi they are very quiet at the moment and i wonder if that will continue . But is great to talk to you and as the head teacher said, from tomorrow, the whole school will be back tomorrow which will test the Safety Measures they have put in place. Fascinating to look around there, see how the schools are best preparing for the return of the students. It is very fitting, it looks great. Since the beginning of this month, staff in england have been encouraged to go back to work. But is office life returning back to normal . Nina has been finding out. People sending pictures of fax machines. Thank you. Nina, do you have a fax machine where you are, i dont care about anything else. No, nothing that pedestrian but look around, this is moneypenny in wrexham. They take calls, handle live chats for thousands of other businesses. There is a few of the staff trickling back in, about a third of the 750 staff are returning at the moment. The bbc has spoken with 50 of the uks biggest businesses. What they have told us is that not one of them plans to bring back all of their staff any time soon and in fact, less than half of them have plans to bring any staff back immediately. What does that mean for business . We will be talking to an economy shortly, but most importantly, what does it mean for you . What most importantly, what does it mean for you . What has most importantly, what does it mean for you . What has working from home been like, what have we learned . Meet the wrights. Lucy works in marketing. Dave is an account manager. Theres gus. And for hamish well, posing for us isnt exactly his top priority. And since the end of march, the wrights have been working from home. Its been a mixed bag. It was a bit of a challenge initially, wasnt it . Yeah, very much. Er, you know, we had to very quickly kind of work out when we were working and when we were parents. Theresa fire fire on the chair the boys, all they want is for us to be at home all of the time. So what was so good is that they were happy, and thatjust made everything so much easier. It has been difficult, sort of finding that balance between the work and where the work stops and where the parenting begins. But weve been very lucky that weve been able to split our work throughout the day so theres always been one parent with the children. Feel like, you know, give us a little pat on the back that weve kind of managed it, you know. I mean, if you didnt get stressed you should have more than a pat on the back you should get a medal laughter. I wish i could say that dont get me wrong, you know, they were. Has been some hairy moments. You know, and it helped, you know, obviously, everybody else is in the same situation. There you go. Thank you. Ideally, i think wed all like to have a mix of both. Thats the ideal for everyone, isnt it . Ifeel like ive learned how to be a better mummy and separate things a bit more. Do you think, because of lockdown, that balance will be better . Being able to say this is work and this isnt i think weve all been a lot better at that. You know, yes, this is really important. But so are these guys. Yeah. Thats finished now. Right now im just mummy and thats that. Thats work a bit of work. Where . A bit of work. As much as i love our offices in sa lfo rd , as much as i love our offices in salford, we havent got one of these, our very own boozer. I apologise to anyone he was listening to five live when i had an argument with my husband about a nappy change. Most of your staff is still at home, how is that impacting profits . From a profitability point of view, it doesnt matter if people are in the office or at home. We have to make sure we are delivering a Brilliant Service for our clients and we come up with the model that works for us going forward. Presumably you had to buy hundreds of new computers and you dont know when they will be back to the doors, this office is incredible but it must have big overheads . Absolutely, but it wasnt about the cost of delivering from home, it was about the fact that we needed to scale up a home working model in three weeks and ourteam did a home working model in three weeks and our team did whatever it took to make it happen. Whered you go from here, what have you learned about the future . Generally, and we see this through lots of businesses, it sped upa this through lots of businesses, it sped up a lot of change. This is a big period of change, in all different parts of our lives. From our perspective, i do think it will end up in a bit ofan our perspective, i do think it will end up in a bit of an Agile Working model here, mixture of home and office and we will see where it goes. We have to make sure we do the right thing for our people. You said earlier, because of the hybrid model, if you take on more employees, you dont need the physical space for them . What a hybrid model needs to us is we have more office space, we are an expanding business, we have just taken on 150 new starters he will be joining before the end of october. It gives us more space so we can grow. In some senses, it was easy because they are fielding calls and doing live chat. But inevitably for every winner, there is a loser. Good morning, joanna is saying this has accelerated the inevitable, you are an economist at lancaster university, who are the losers, who misses out . This is a super acceleration of trends we have been seeing happening over the last 20 years. They are trained to do with the way in which Companies Use technology and trends to do with flexible working. Both of those things were happening even before the coronavirus hit. What we have seen now is forms forced to concentrate their minds on how they respond to the epidemic and part of that then means there are, as you say, some winners and some losers from that. We have seen a lot of people working from home, 40 of people working from home, 40 of people have been working from home and people have been surprised to the extent at which that is possible. If you are at the high end of the skills distribution, you are more likely to be you that kind of work, more likely to be productive and work with technology that enhances your productivity and it makes you a winner in terms of the income gains you can expect to get. If you are at the lower end of the skills distribution, technology seems to be a substitute for you. Firms may go down the route of employing more robots and more automating and that would substitute for some workers at the bottom end. Particularly worrying at the moment because the recession we are coming out of a to completely . Absolutely, people will come out of furlough and they dont know whether theirjobs will be safe after the fallow period, or at the end ofjanuary. A lot is still in the air about the nature of this recovery. Many thanks. Of the 50 companies we spoke to, the only thing that is consistent, a bit like the virus, nobody knows how things will change and whether these changes will be permanent. We have got a podcast on this, if you go to bbc sounds and your money, you can have a listen. One things will change though, stuck with you two and that sofa. That is a bit harsh. There is a reason we send her out. We were talking about fax machines and clive got in touch, we are enjoying this. Talking about fax machines because lionel messi wa nts to fax machines because lionel messi wants to leave barcelona and he informed the club by fax machine. It has tickled me. Clive has messaged in and he says, this poor Work Experience girl had never seen a fax machine before. She was sent to fax a copy of a report to a customer. She was gone for ages. The customer. She was gone for ages. The customer rang and said, i think theres something wrong with your fax machine, we are receiving hundreds of copies of the report we wanted. Clive went to find her and she said, i keep putting the report in it, but itjust keeps coming back out at me again iam finding out at me again i am finding your fascination with the fax machine rather disturbing. Iam the fax machine rather disturbing. I am getting loads of pictures, thank you so much. Keep them coming. You are watching bbc breakfast, still to come. Were finding out about some of the hidden gems we uncovered as lockdown forced us to explore more places closer to home this is a view of Painshill Park in surrey. It is truly beautiful there this morning. Now lets get the weather with carol. Carol has been talking about storm francis over the last few days and there has been blustery conditions overnight . Very windy indeed. That morning. The highest gust of wind we have seen so far was highest gust of wind we have seen so farwas in highest gust of wind we have seen so far was in the needles when it gusted to 81 miles an hour. But the wind this morning still pretty gusty over central and eastern areas and around the coastlines, but it will ease through the day. Some of us starting with blue skies, you can see the rainbow in warrington. As we go through the day, most of us will see some sunshine, at worst some brightness, but also some showers. The wind continuing to ease. This is storm francis, area of low pressure moving on to the near continent and still the isobars are close together, but we have a ridge of High Pressure out towards the west, which is why we are seeing brighter skies for parts of wales, South West England and cheshire. Wet start in parts of scotland, most of that will move away and a fair bit of cloud in england and scotland to the day with just a few showers. Could see showers in Northern Ireland. Further south and west, we will see some sunshine. Temperatures, 13 to 22 degrees, maybe 23 but not feeling as cold as yesterday. Remember, the winds are also easing. This evening and overnight it will be cloudy in the northern half of the country. Clearer skies in the south, still a few showers around, but by the end of the night, an area of the pressure coming our way will introduce a more showers. Here it is, coming in with its collection of france to the west and that will be over the next day or so, moving towards the east. Isobars quite well space, not as windy and we are starting thursday with some sunshine where we have had the clear skies. In the north we hang on to the cloud with a few showers. Showers coming in with the low pressure starting to spread on some of the emerging to give heavy downpours, as denoted by the greens and yellows. Temperatures disappointing, 12 in aberdeen to highs of 19 disappointing, 12 in aberdeen to highs of19 in disappointing, 12 in aberdeen to highs of 19 in london, 20 in norwich. Overnight thursday into friday, there goes the area of low pressure with its fronts and rain. The wind vias towards a northerly and a cooler direction and that sets us upfor and a cooler direction and that sets us up for the rest of the week and that we can. It will turn colder by day and by night. So friday we start with rain in scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England. The pressure south into the rest of england and wales, it will be a great wet day. Brighter skies follow behind and it will be a breezy day wherever you are, but particularly so down the north sea coast. Dont forget it is a northerly. If anything, stronger wind on saturday, especially down the north sea coast with large waves, but there will be some sunshine around but dont forget, we are looking at chilly nights. Whatever youre doing today, have a good one and i will see you tomorrow. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. Lets bring you up to date with one of the main storage this morning, on the back page of lots of the papers today. Manchester united captain Harry Maguire has been given a suspended sentence of 21 months and ten days after his trial in greece yesterday. The 27 year old was found guilty of assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. He denies the charges and says he will appeal. We can now speak to our sport editor dan roan. Good morning to you once again. A developing story, it was good to talk to you yesterday when we talked about what would happen with Harry Maguire being included in Gareth Southgates england squad. Its a messy situation today having been in, then the court case, then being taken out of the england squad. Yes, you are right and good morning. It surprised some people yesterday, didnt it, Gareth Southgate decided to include Harry Maguire in his squad when he could have seen the verdict before committing himself. But i think having spoken to southgate yesterday, what became clear is he highly rate maguire. He has been integral on the pitch, a central part of the way error southgate has revived the team in recent yea rs southgate has revived the team in recent years and we saw that when he played a starring role on their way to the semifinals two years ago. I think southgate has come to admire maguire. He is not high maintenance, this is not the latest in a string of controversies and seems to be out of controversies and seems to be out of character. Therefore he seems to have credit with southgate. However it was embarrassing when a few hours later he had to perform the u turn and axed him from the squad but it was a measure of the record maguire has enjoyed. I think while he will have to miss these two next matches, regardless of the result of any appeal, long term his career should be secure. He is after all the central defensive selection for southgate. Like in other cases similarto southgate. Like in other cases similar to this, there is no unsavoury cctv footage for example of the incident concerned, that is probably an maguire plasma grow favour. As long as he maintains his innocence, it is hard for club and country to condemn him. From a Manchester United perspective this morning, he is captain of that club and they seem to be standing by him as well and that will be an interesting debate as we start the next season. And its not long till that season resumes. A few friendlies and then it gets under way for real, i think 19th of september, their opening match against crystal palace. With his captaincy, the manager has a real decision to make and it wouldnt be any surprise if he stripped him of the armband given that he assaulted a Police Officer and attempted to bribe him in greece, unless his appeal is successful. In terms of his playing career, i think hes too good a player to affect that and man united will continue to select him. He is the most expensive defender ever, the most expensive english player ever. It has been a chastening fall from grace and unsavoury not just for chastening fall from grace and unsavoury notjust for him but for the wider game as well, but we should remind people he maintains his innocence and gave a statement saying he feels confident about that, that he will appeal. He has issued a cryptic Instagram Post in which he said truth cannot be hidden. So it remains to be seen whether he now feels he needs to apologise for putting himself in that situation or whether he will maintain his silence. He was quoting buddha, that is all he had to say about it. One side issue is Manchester United qualified for europe and its interesting to see what might happen should they draw a tea m what might happen should they draw a team from greece in that competition. But question. Idid team from greece in that competition. But question. I did ask some greek legal experts yesterday what it would mean having a criminal record in greece and having been convicted of those crimes. It wouldnt prevent him from going to greece to play. It is only a suspended custodial sentence of 21 months, but it would mean if anything untoward happened again while on greek territory it would be a prison sentence. It is not an ideal situation for maguire to face but not unprecedented either. We should remember this appeal could be successful. Having spoken to people close to maguire and the club, they share a frustration the proceedings happened at such pace. They believe if they were to be an appeal and a retrial, may be more time for them to present more witness evidence, more cctv evidence, more forensic evidence that would help maguires case but for now hes been convicted of those crimes and it was a bad day for him and his club. Good to talk to you, thank you. Harry maguire said, i remain strong and if anything my family and friends are the victims. If you havent seen it, this is the quote from border. Buddha. Why are you laughing . Im assuming youre going to mention fax machines ain i cant get out of my head in this case someone had run out of fax paper and they responded, dont worry i will fax use over. The reason we are talking about faxes as it has been reported Lionel Messis agents faxed across a message to barcelona saying they wanted leave. That is the club he has been out since he was 13 years old. The argentine, whos regarded by many as the best player of all time, sent a message to the club yesterday, saying that he wants out. The club is in turmoil after finishing the season without a trophy for the first time in 12 years. We should clarify that in spain are very popular way to send a business message is through something called a bureau fax so it has evolved from a bureau fax so it has evolved from a fax machine but its a bit more modern. Its a method of business communication very popular in spain. What does it look like . communication very popular in spain. What does it look like . I dont have a picture of it. Ijust happen to have one here with me you cant tease us like that its and revolution of the fax machine so a more modern version of it, just to clarify. So, who can afford him . Psg may want to spend again to have another go at the Champions League, as might Manchester City and they are the favourites to sign him. So could we see him in the premier league . Andy murray, who lost his recent match in new york, is keen. When i lived in barcelona, i got to see him play a couple of times live. But yeah, itd be nice to see him in the premier league and, you know, a lot of. Ive heard a lot of people saying, ah, you know, could he do it on a cold wednesday in stoke . And ive always said, of course he could because he is the best player ever. Hed be absolutely fine. So id like to see him show a few people that he can do that. Andy murray is an arsenal fan but his Scottish Team is hibs so realistically could lionel messi do it in realistically could lionel messi do itina realistically could lionel messi do it in a bitterly cold night at easter road . All i will say is i have been told im not allowed to talk about fax machines any more by our editor. At least that managed to clear up the messi fax stuff. Ok, so that quickly three times. Just get out while you can, she will keep talking about faxes. Dan is loving his wednesday morning. talking about faxes. Dan is loving his wednesday morning. I am very much enjoying myself. After 18 years serving his country with front line tours in afghanistan and iraq, former british soldier paul minter was left facing one of his toughest battles yet post Traumatic Stress disorder and depression. Now, after creating his own charity to help veterans struggling with their Mental Health, hes decided to undergo a world record breaking physical challenge. Hes aiming to run the entire uk coastline in just 200 days. And even the training looks tough lets take a look. Im running 5800 miles minimum around the uk. Lets get this show on the road, woo im asking people to run with me during my training sessions, anything from ten miles to 30 miles. Doesnt have to be a hard session. Paul minterjoins us now. Good morning to you. You are smiling now. Good morning to you. You are smiling now. Morning it is a joy having you with us this morning. We saw you training. Tell us because we have read the research notes, tell us why this is so important to you to highlight the causes you are interested in raising money for. Sure. So many people everywhere around the world and in this country are suffering with depression or Mental Health of some sort. I have a military background so its something im aware of, people in the military and who come out of the military, and negativity consumes people. It has consumed me in the past to the point where i have had to be medically discharged from the military but i have found ways to use positive techniques to make myself better on a daily basis. I have helped several people on a daily basis personally at the moment, and daily basis personally at the moment, and i want to help more people in the masses to do this. I set upa people in the masses to do this. I set up a charity that can reach as many people as it can and share their methods. Before we go into the good work you are doing, i want people to have an understanding of exactly where you are coming from. When you are discharged, what had led up to that moment . when you are discharged, what had led up to that moment . I have done several front line tours and i think it isjust a combination of multiple Different Things that happen in peoples lives, whether they are going through divorces, whether they are just not where they want to be in theirlives, are just not where they want to be in their lives, whether they are still having nightmares or things are coming back to them from their past, dramatic events. It is difficult for people to talk about things, people to come forward or even acknowledge they have a problem. And when they do its quite ha rd problem. And when they do its quite hard for people to then be aware of what they can do on a daily basis to make themselves feel better and improve their Mental Health. There are so many techniques and bringing positivity in your life and dispelling the negativity is so important. I know that exercise plays a big role in that for you, but there is exercise and then there is running at least 30 miles a day for 200 days straight. Definitely, well i am starting a new charity, head up, and i thought if im going to get the word out and get people involved and reach as many people as ican, how involved and reach as many people as i can, how am i going to do it . I thought why not run and the whole of the United Kingdom and reach as many people as i can and get people to know about the charity, get people involved and spread the word as wide asi involved and spread the word as wide as i can. Running the whole of Great Britain seems the most convenient way to do so. Talk about the prep for that. We are watching you on one of your training runs at the moment. If louise was here she would definitely ask you about your diet because she is obsessed with food inta ke because she is obsessed with food intake for big challenges like this. Injune in intake for big challenges like this. In june in lockdown intake for big challenges like this. Injune in lockdown i was intake for big challenges like this. In june in lockdown i was fortunate to be in scotland, in the highlands in kenmore, and i was doing a lot of running around the highlands which ignited my passion for running and started it off there. Then i did a Half Marathon every morning to see how my body would cope, now im trying to run with as many people as ican at trying to run with as many people as i can at the moment, doing 20 mile runs, 15 miles, whatever it is, just to keep my body ticking over. I live ona to keep my body ticking over. I live on a plant based diet which is interesting in itself, so i consume a lot of vegetables, a lot of knots and alternative meets. Nuts. A lot of vegetables, a lot of knots and alternative meets. Nuts. Will you come back on and let us know how youre yes, and anyone can get in touch. There are multiple ways to help. I want this to be a community thing, and people especially along the coastline is to get involved as much as possible. I know you are dropping in on military families along the way. We will follow you the whole route, thank you. Paul minter, who was running the whole entirety of the coastline of the uk. Averaging 29 miles a day. For 200 days. That is proper challenge. Challenge for many of us during the height of the pandemic was finding somewhere peaceful and beautiful to go because there were so many restrictions about where we could be during lockdown. But many found a hidden gem on their doorstep. Breakfasts john maguire is at Painshill Park in surrey for us this morning. We are inside the crystal grotto. This is all artificial limestone on the outside, these crystals if you can see them on the inside. Built in the 18th century but fell into disrepair, the whole estate, then during the 19705 was purchased by the local council and gradually has been built up again. It is a populated area in surrey in the south east of england so lots of people live within a stones throw of this place but might not necessarily know about it. It gets 100,000 visitors a year but they have doubled in recent weeks as people tried to get out and about. If you are able to get out in your local neighbourhood, have a go, walk out and about, see if you can discover some hidden gems. You suddenly turn the corner and you see the statues, and this bit, at the time of year we came, there were a beautiful meadow flowers all the way around. It was absolutely lovely. Its beautiful. We arrived and there were just daisies everywhere. And with the statues peeking out. They have a poignancy about them because they are so majestic, really, in a way. You look at them, it is almost eerie, really. This is called the regiment of trees, on parade within one of the woodland trusts First World War centenary woods. Its just a stones throw from the famous epsom racecourse in surrey, but many local people dont know its here. There is no one here. I dont think many people know about it. But i definitely found it because ijust had a bit more time on my hands over lockdown. So ijust wanted to explore a bit more of my local area and walked and walked and walked and eventually found it. If it wasnt lockdown, i probably wouldnt have come. I dont really like walking that much. Weve done a lot of walking in lockdown. I heard about it a while ago when they were putting in the trees and ijust thought, wow, that looks really good. We have never been able to get here and, after seeing it on instagram, i was like, oh, we have to go. Ive stopped working, so ive got a bit of time, but certainly, i dont think we would have heard about it, because people wouldnt have been talking about it as much, if it hadnt been for lockdown. The sculptures depict an inspection parade of 20,000 men at a nearby base in 1915. While filming, we bump into the sculptor. So many men had signed up as volunteers that there just wasnt enough equipment to go around. So the men that are in the front row were fully equipped with uniforms, and the full equipment and rifles. And, as the rows go back, they get less and less equipment and uniform, and the chaps at the back are standing there in civilian dress. I wanted them to have a haunting presence, so that it gave a sense of place when people come across them. And just down the road, another natural wonder that seems to have come into its own this year. Priest hill was once overgrown and abandoned, but, now, its 86 acres have been reclaimed for nature and for nature lovers. Ive noticed there have been a lot more people coming out with theirfamilies, or using the reserve as a green gym, because everyones gym has been shut down. Its just been really nice to see families connecting with each other and connecting with nature at the same time. I have been able to stop and chat to the bird watchers and see what they are looking at. Everyone actually became a bird watcher. So it has just been a magical place to be. It has often been hard to find the positives in this pandemic, but reconnecting with our natural environment, especially if its right on our doorstep, has been vital in so many ways. Back here, i wish i had my eye spy book of water birds. There are geese here, i have seen a grebe, moorhens and ducks, lots of wildlife. You might see things you are not expecting to see. Paul griffiths, good morning. Its been a difficult. Started off difficult but you have doubled your visitor numbers forjuly. What have the last few months been like for you . As an independent charity it was a battle for survival during lockdown. We opened our doors in late may and have had positive visitor numbers since then. We doubled the numbers from the same period last year and have almost caught up with where we we re have almost caught up with where we were for the whole of last year, so its been impressive. Lots of people have been coming in and rediscovering painshill. We have been able to get it reopened and welcome people back in. Its been like a rediscovery, hasnt it . Yes, people are coming back and having the chance to enjoy their stay and get out in the open, which is fabulous. Thank you very much. Alan slater, you were last here is a seven year old, is that right . Slater, you were last here is a sevenyearold, is that right . Yes, the best part of almost 30 years, rediscovering Painshill Park and the treasures. And you are a bit of a gym devotedly but you have had to find other ways to get fit and get out and about . Absolutely, so like the rest of us i have been affected by the lockdown. My local gym stayed closed for the lockdown period so i was left on my own devices exploring the streets of epsom, going out on the streets of epsom, going out on the downs, going for runs through the downs, going for runs through the centenary woods, discovering things in the area like the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, enjoying the witch and the wardrobe, enjoying the architecture and making the most of the area. I have a quiet local park so i was going down there first thing doing morning yoga in the park, barefoot, connecting with the trees and plants and grass. What sort of a difference did it make, especially during the early weeks of lockdown, which for many people was a difficult time . Absolutely, so the same as everyone in the beginning i was undera same as everyone in the beginning i was under a lot of stress, my Mental Health was being affected. Thats why i literally have gone from this to this. I thought, how can i reconfigure . I got out and did some exercise, keep moving. People are receptive and friendly, i noticed a lot more hellos from passers by which is always good. Thank you very much indeed, and thank you to paul as well. Yes, that chance to get out and about and reconnect with nature. Very important for Mental Health. Green health, enjoying our outdoor surroundings as best as we possibly can. Even if you live in a town or city, maybe visit your local park. It makes a big difference. Green health, there is a phrase i havent heard before. Something we should do much more often. Thank you. If you were contacted on social media with an invitation to take part in a music video you might think its a hoax. But thats exactly what happened to aberdeenshire farmers michelle and robert sullivan. Now, they feature in the latest video from global superstars pharrell and jay z. The track entrepreneur aims to raise awareness about black Business Owners around the world. Take a look. There it is. Michelle and robert join us now from their farm there it is. Michelle and robert join us now from theirfarm in prem nae. Most people would think it was a hoax. At what point did you realise it was a real approach on social media to use the use you in this video . It is when the email came through because when we got the direct message on instagram the response was kind of, sure, why not . In other words, see how far this goes then we had an official e mail that came through so we were like, oh, ok. I think that came through so we were like, oh, ok. Ithink this is that came through so we were like, oh, ok. I think this is real we thought we will see how far it goes before these people back out. Originally they were going to send a crew to you but it got complicated. Im going to say this right now, can we please credit your 17 year old son for doing the video . Because he is the one who is upset out of this because he hasnt had a credit so can you give him a name check. Yes, his name is denarii sullivan and he filmed it. So it was filmed at the farm and what were you told to film . Actually we were asked to film quite a lot more, the delivery of a veg box and a bit more of robert actually on the farm. He was motivating with the tractor and things like that. Then there were a few more close shots and a few wide angle shots as well, and then just a few other things like edible flowers a nd just a few other things like edible flowers and things like that. So we werent sure what they were going to do with it, but from what we could see anyway it looks like they wanted to feature the main american ones and then i noticed they put all of the international ones at the end. And robert, why was it they approached you . And robert, why was it they approached you . We havent got much time but hopefully you can explain this as quickly as you can. time but hopefully you can explain this as quickly as you can. I think it isjust the this as quickly as you can. I think it is just the whole this as quickly as you can. I think it isjust the whole cause of highlighting positive outlook for black entrepreneurship throughout the whole world really. Just highlighting something positive instead of the usual sort of rap videos that have their own sort of throw on things. This was the complete opposite, just giving a showcase around the world of black owned businesses. Showcase around the world of blackowned businesses. It is lovely to talk to you both.
