Cloudy for all of us, some rain around in the north and west but drier and brighter today in the south east. I will bring you all the details throughout the morning. Its monday 7th september. Our top story a major manhunt is continuing in birmingham this morning to find a knifeman who killed a man and wounded seven other people in the early hours of yesterday. Cctv images of a suspect have been released, and armed police were deployed overnight to reassure the community. In their latest update, officers say theyre following up several new lines of inquiry. Heres simonjones. Wanted, on suspicion of murder. Police are asking who is this man and where is he . Suspect seen here just before two oclock yesterday morning. At this time, people had been stabbed. Late last night, West Midlands police tweeted. Overnight, investigations have continued into the spate of stabbings stop police admit they dont why the attacker struck. People on a night out it came to the aid of the victims. My friend said to me it isa aid of the victims. My friend said to me it is a suppress suspected stabbing, i ran in and ran back out to help as much as possible. At the timei to help as much as possible. At the time i wasjust more to help as much as possible. At the time i was just more concerned about the lady on her own and lying there, ijust the lady on her own and lying there, i just couldnt leave her. The lady on her own and lying there, ijust couldnt leave her. She looked very dazed and confused and couldnt talk but she was talking to my friend with blinks, 2a yes, one for no. At half past midnight, one first victim had been attacked a constitution hell. And then a 19 year old man was critically injured and a woman was also hurt. An hour later, 23 year old man was found dead in irving street. Another man was seriously injured. Then at 2am, 32 year old woman was critically injured in her street with the two men also suffering injuries. It does appear to be random because we havent any links between the found victims either in their nature or where they were socialising. Some residents are asking how the nice man was able to move through the city centre for 90 minutes without being caught. Police say he took an unusual route. Witnesses described him as extremely calm. He wasnt even panicking, he wasnt reacting or anything. After he stabbed, four, five, maybe seven times. He walked as if nothing happened. Police say they are doing everything they can to provide a nswe is everything they can to provide a nswers to everything they can to provide a nswe f5 to reassure everything they can to provide answers to reassure the community. Simonjones, bbc answers to reassure the community. Simon jones, bbc news. Geeta pendse is in birmingham for us. Geeta, a visible Police Presence where you are this morning . Yes, good morning for some time on irving street which is one of the four locations, the four streets in the city centres where the attacks took place. Sadly, 23 year old man was stabbed on this street and died. As we have heard, seven other people we re as we have heard, seven other people were injured. Following the release of that cctv footage of a man who is affected of carrying out these incidents, the police say they have had a really strong response and that detectives are following new lines of enquiry and that they have been working through the night to identify and trace the suspect. They have set up a hotline for anyone who might have information, having seen the cctv footage. They have also been appealing for anyone who had information who was around on the sunday morning over that 90 minute period when the attacks took place. It was as people were leaving restau ra nts a nd bars it was as people were leaving restaurants and bars after a night out. As you mentioned, areas of the city centre are cordoned off. I drove through the city this morning and we can see a Police Presence but yesterday, large parts of birmingham we re yesterday, large parts of birmingham were open to the public as usual and the police say it will be able to be opened once it is safe to do so. The government is planning new legislation that would re write a key section of the brexit Withdrawal Agreement. For so long, the Sticking Point in the brexit talks was the future of the border between Northern Ireland and the irish republic, and the desire to avoid a so called hard border. When a Withdrawal Agreement was agreed last year, it allowed for future checks on some goods entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain. But the government is now set to introduce legislation which could remove those checks, which downing street says is a standby plan in case trade talks fail. Lets speak to our political correspondent, iain watson, now who joins us from westminster. Iain, this all comes as the latest round of trade negotiations with the eu are due to begin tomorrow. What impact could this have on the talks . There was rumours of britain not being ready with border checks but now we have had the drumbeat of no deal growing louder in the past few days. The chief negotiator and lord frost said and the Prime Ministers today effectively saying we can thrive and prosper if we had in australia type deal with the eu which means note trade deal, tariff goods. Against that kind of drop and with trade talks resuming tomorrow, it now appears government is going to bring in legislation or at least introduce legislation on wednesday which will give it more of a free hand in relation to Northern Ireland. Notjust hand in relation to Northern Ireland. Not just those hand in relation to Northern Ireland. Notjust those customers checks but also not informing the eu if it is going to use a state aid in the province was of a lot of this sounds technical but the bottom line is anything that looks as though the uk is standing back from its previous obligations to the eu is probably, probably likely to make those trade talks go even worse than was anticipated and could scupper them entirely for some however, there is an alternative interpretation which is if the government is going to do this and say to the eu, look, if you want us to stick by our obligations then you should stick by your obligation to negotiate a three free trade deal with us. In other words, it looks like the government might be playing ha rd ball like the government might be playing hardball and like the government might be playing hard ball and telling the like the government might be playing hardball and telling the eu they will have to make concessions in the trade talks. It is a high wire act. George eustice is going to be here at 734 s top 7 30. A Public Inquiry starts today into the Manchester Arena terror attack which killed twenty two people at an Ariana Grande concert more than three years ago. Our correspondent dave guestjoins us now from manchester magistrates court. Dave, the families have waited some time for this. It isa it is a significant day for the families who have waited three years for this day. Of course, only recently they saw hashem a baby jailed for life with a minimum of 55 yea rs jailed for life with a minimum of 55 years injail abedi. He was the brother of the man who detonated the device, salman abedi. This enquiry will be looking at how the two brothers acted in the lead up to the explosion. We know that salman abedi was on the radar of the Security Services beforehand so the enquiry will be looking at what the Security Services knew exactly and could they have done more to prevent this attack . It will also be looking at security arrangements at the arena that night. The immediate aftermath of the explosion and the way the Emergency Services reacted. There has been criticism at the time that some of the emergency workers were held back for a period of time because of concerns they might have been a second bomb. They have done things differently . That will also come under the remit of this enquiry. It opens at nine oclock today. The names of the 22 who died will be read out and they will be then a minute silence. Later in the week they will be pen portraits of the 22 victims. Their relatives having a chance to tell their story about the photographs behind the names, who they did, what were their likes and dislikes, to put a human face behind the 22 victims who died. The enquiry is expected to conclude in the spring of next year. As more of us are encouraged to return to the workplace, Train Companies in england and wales are increasing their services. Our transport correspondent tom burridge is at londons Liverpool Street station this morning to see whether the monday commute is getting back to normal. Doesnt look particularly busy there this morning. Pretty dead for the moment but that is to be expected for this time of the day but in the coming weeks, rail bosses have a delicate balance to strike. They wa nt delicate balance to strike. They want more passages back on the network but they dont want commuters flooding stations and trains. Up to now, passenger levels have been pretty low. About a third of pre covid levels. But the ra i lwa ys of pre covid levels. But the railways are not going back to where they were before the pandemic. Some services in the short term will be cut but in other places at other times, there will be more capacity created, more carriages and lots of places, to try and deal with passenger flows. Rail bosses places, to try and deal with passengerflows. Rail bosses insist that travelling by train is safe because modern trains have good ventilation systems that they argued the transmission risk is relatively low. The other big issue for the ra i lwa ys low. The other big issue for the railways is money. Throughout the pandemic, the government has been covering the huge losses of running a vast network of with very few passengers on it. There is also a financial insensitive from ministers that more of us get back on the trains incentives. Lets take a look now at some remarkable pictures, which were sent to us on twitter overnight. Did you miss it . Thats an underwater shot of an osprey catching a trout, which was sent to us by andy howard. The wildlife photographer told us the shot, which was taken in Cairngorms National park, took years to plan butjust days to capture. And seconds to get the trout. Amazing that is a proper predator then. You would have no clue that is going to happen if you are the trout, busy prickling along, enjoying your day. It is not a good day for going out, i imagine. Pootling along. A lot of crowd around cloud around. It is in the north and west of the uk where it will be quite a story with those outbreaks of rain as well. If you are towards the south east, different picture. It should remain mostly dry and bright with a bit of sunshine on offer. All of us, but reasonably mild. Low pressure sitting to the north of the uk with lots of isobars and the trailing weather fronts are bringing outbreaks of rain and already been heavy overnight. Rain sinking its way south into parts of northwestern england and wales, too. Have becoming light and patchy as it heads south. Oven and eats eastern parts, you should stay dry. Two bridges up to 20 degrees. Guzzi 21 two bridges up to 20 degrees. Guzzi 2 in scotland. Could see 21. Temperatures. A lot of cloud and drizzly rain with mist and fog developing in the south overnight. Alert of cloud to keep wings mild overnight with temperatures in the mid teens so feeling humid. A lot of cloud. The way of cloud but less on tuesday. A bit of rain in the north and west. Actor you both. Back to you both. Lets take a look at todays papers. This weeks trade talks between the uk and the eu make the front pages once again. The Daily Telegraph says borisjohnson will give the eu 38 days to strike a deal in time for the European Councils october meeting, or else britain will move on. The paper quotes the Prime Minister saying if we cant agree by then, then i do not see that there will be a Free Trade Agreement between us. The Financial Times suggests the government is risking the collapse of trade talks with brussels by planning legislation that will override last octobers brexit Withdrawal Agreement. It quotes one source saying the move would clearly and consciously undermine agreements on Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, the guardian has the latest on the manhunt in birmingham to find a knifeman who killed a man and wounded seven other people in the early hours of yesterday. And the most watched story on the bbc news website is a special report from our north of england correspondentjudith moritz. Shes been speaking to the family of saffie roussos, the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena bombings to mark the start of a Public Inquiry into the attack. Well have more on that throughout the programme. Lets look at the inside pages. This is one of the photographs on many of the back pages, Novak Djokovic and we will show you the footage later. We will speak to the bbcs is corresponded for fuller about this and sally as well, this is a he, in frustration, whacked a ball against the back awnings at the us open and it hit this line judge the back awnings at the us open and it hit this linejudge in the back awnings at the us open and it hit this line judge in the throat. She was struggling to breathe. Djokovic went over, apologised, and on came the officials and it took about five minutes but he was told he was qualified from the entire tournament so he has apologised on social media, did not do the press rounds afterwards, just sort of left, but he was the only guy left in the tournament who has won it so somebody will be in. And he does not get any of the money he has won so far, does he . Everything has been taken from him. He did it before and it hit the awnings at the back so i suppose, questions about his habits, how he changes that and in the Instagram Post he said i need to have a long, hard look at myself, basically. Is she 0k . She is ok, im not sure she expected to get. Hit in the throat, did she . We will talk about that through the programme with sally. You always worry about biscuits, dont you . This is about jammy dodgers and wagon wheels being hit by strikes over pay. I think you know what to jammy dodger looks like. Workers seen 91 have taken action to vote a 1. 6 rise and an overtime ban for begins tomorrow with a series of weekly 24 hour strikes on wednesday. With a series of weekly 24 hour strikes on wednesdaylj with a series of weekly 24 hour strikes on wednesday. I think i need a reminder of what a jammy dodger tastes like. I do not think you do this is a bumper pack of puppies. So when coronavirus hit, the vet cancelled mary kellys appointment to have her dog neutered. This is mum of now i think 16 puppies. She found it difficult to get bella away from her other dog who is on the right, rg, and the result is. 16 gorgeous puppies. Archie. She will keep one and give the rest of them away. That is nice, and quick aside were getting 22 more fish and chips or. I thought that was going to be biscuits news. No, fish and chip news this is a robot restau ra nts restau ra nt and chip news this is a robot restaurants restaurant in milton keynes. This isjosh, one of the robot waiters. This is in a restau ra nt robot waiters. This is in a restaurant called robotasia, visitors are keen to get their meals are served by laserguided serving staff and so far, no mistakes with meals, no mishaps and not many complaints so it is going well so far. And not a lot of chat. One of the reasons i go to a restaurant is for a chat. Are you a charter . No surprise there. A chatter. Commuter Train Services return to near normal timetables today, but the governments call to get people back to work is not being heard everywhere. Nina is in Manchester City centre for us this morning. Good morning. Good morning. Im over here. Hello. City Centre Manchester this morning and you can see some of the Office Lights behind me are starting to come on and the strictly down there is flashing and there is a hope this morning that urban life is returning a little bit more towards normal. Greater manchester is an urban conurbation of nearly 3 Million People but those peoplejust have not been coming to town. You will remember back in march we were told to work from home. Where possible. That message changed at the beginning of august, to the office and work from there if it is safe. How have workers been responding . According to the governments own statistics, a fifth of adults say they are still working from home exclusively. So not that many going into work at all. Just over half say they are now commuting back to their place of work. You can see that reflected on passenger levels on public transport. Here in manchester, the number of daily bus journeys are 53 down on normal, tram journeys are down 62 . It means footfall is far smaller across towns and specifically city centres across the uk and the few days after the bank holiday it was around one third of what it was at the same time last year. Huge implications for spend, not just the same time last year. Huge implications for spend, notjust in retail but think about all of the little cafes launderette surround city centres. Launderette around. We headed into manchester to speak to some Office Workers and two worried Business Owners a Sandwich Shop boss this is the bowl as a sandwich bar, one of the oldest independent sandwich bars in manchester. Bowlers. We are in three little words, the home of manchester gin. We took over about 23 years ago. As you can see, there is absolutely nothing, no one is here. You can see, there is absolutely nothing, noone is here. Seeing who comes out the other end is anyones guess. It is about quarter past one. About now it is half past three on a friday. I would have at least 20 customers in here. And as you can see there is only one customer. We would already see people coming in and we would already see ive not seen anyone in a suit for four or five months, it is so bizarre because usually now we start filling up because usually now we start filling up by because usually now we start filling up by half five or six we would be full. We are doing about 3096 of our normal taking and i dont know how long we can sustain it for. If they do not want workers back into the offices until january and do not want workers back into the offices untiljanuary and we hear a lot of officers are not running, you will find you come back and your payment coffee shop has not been opened because no one can survive that revenue for nine months. The city centre is like a ghost town. Absolutely ghost town. I am two months rent behind. Thats it then. We are struggling. Traditionally, a good bar and restaurant coming 30 of its revenue during november and decemberand if of its revenue during november and december and if you think all of the offices that have afterwork drinks, christmas parties, they are going to be non existent this year. Christmas parties, they are going to be nonexistent this year. It is impossible, yeah. I have neverfelt like this. As soon as the grand money finishes we will probably have to close the doors. Grant money. And that is about it. So it really is crunch time for some City Centre Businesses. Not just is crunch time for some City Centre Businesses. Notjust here in manchester but that is reflect that across the uk. Reflected. Something interesting is happening. Smaller towns and high streets and market town high streets. They are seeing an increase in footfall. Over the course of lockdown, your local high street, because you are not coming into the office, became something of a lifeline and now it is looking like for some people are least that habit is sticking but obviously massive implications for city centres. Places like manchester and cardiff suffering a lot more than birkenhead or southend. The smaller centres are faring better as we come out of the covid i9 period. Today is a big day, 90 of Commuter Services returning to normal so almost back on track and tens thousands of businesses waiting to see what happens. Entire economic urban ecosystems really do depend on how this week and the next few u nfold. Depend on how this week and the next few unfold. Thank you, nina. We will see you later. A lovely morning in manchester. A beautiful sunrise thank you leicester was the first city in britain to be placed in a local lockdown after a spike in coronavirus cases there. As phil mackie reports, ten weeks after the announcement by the Health Secretary matt hancock, some of the restrictions remain in place but there are calls for them to be lifted. Given the growing outbreak in leicester, you cannot recommend that the easing of the national lockdown, set to take place onjuly four, happens in leicester. Just as the rest of england was getting ready to go back to the pub, in leicester, the shops were closed again and any plans to go out were cancelled. Although some restrictions had been lifted, others are still in place ten weeks later. Now, they are ready to come out of lockdown. The end of june, there had been 157 new cases per people in one week, and a month later it had fallen to 59 and by the end of august, just 25 and it stayed at that level since. This is how they did it, door to door testing across the city, wherever there was an outbreak. So while you may have been redeployed or some of you have volunteered to. And this is the man who oversaw it all, leicesters director of Public Health ivan brown, taking time out here to thank his army of testers. Think you very much. One month later and the city has fewer cases than many other places that have not got any restrictions thank you. Places that have not got any restrictions thank youlj places that have not got any restrictions thank you. I think the biggest lesson we have learned is that this operates most effectively in trying to tackle this virus by operating at the local level. So whether it is your testing strategy or whether it is how you find your cases and your contact, more localised we can make that, the better it is because actually, you can go street by street, community community, family by family to try to tackle the virus. Well, the message may still be the same but life has begun to come back to normal in leicester, as some of those restrictions have eased over the past couple of months, but People Living in the city are still desperate to do the things that they cannot but that other people just outside the city can. They will have their own sanitising basket. Like going to the gym, prospect in the south of the city is really struggling as it still cannot open. And what you have his people within the lockdown going to gyms outside of the lot down and they are getting tied into membership so they will not be coming back and obviously when it comes to humming out of it we have to do a massive drive to try to get members to come back to us. Take a few deep breaths and out. And he can provide online sessions like this pilates class and some apple training as well and he thinks it is unfair they are still in lockdown and hejust unfair they are still in lockdown and he just wants unfair they are still in lockdown and hejust wants leicesters restrictions relaxed. Phil mackie, bbc news. I could do with a good stretch this morning known as the Mother Teresa of manchester for her work in the victorian slums, well hear the story of Elizabeth Prouts path to sainthood. We have not said this for an awfully long time it is awfully exciting time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. See you in a moment. Good morning. Im asad ahmad. Public Health England are warning of a spike in coronavirus cases among young people in london. It comes following a similar warning at the weekend from Dame Anne Johnson, epidemiologist at University College london. Theres concern about a return to colleges and universities, while Public Health londons director told us the rise in cases in young people could be linked to ignoring guidelines. Young people are not remembering to do some of the basics that we all need to do to prevent the transmission of infection. Wearing masks, washing your hands, keeping your distance. And that is really important to be reinforced as we see this increasing cases occur. Increase in cases. One of londons largest historical cemeteries is to reopen to the public from today. Willesden Jewish Cemetery was closed to everyone during the pandemic, opening only for funerals but from today, people can once again visit gravesides and also learn about londonsjewish heritage. A woman from south london has launched a childrens magazine for boys to tackle the under representation of black children in the media. Serlina boyd launched cocoa boy to celebrate black culture, having began another magazine, cocoa girl, earlier this year. Ms boyd says she wants to provide an opportunity for other children to see that they can achieve, what they want to achieve. It has been really exciting launching coco boy because if you look on the newsstands, there isnt really very many boys magazines. Children who are black do not see themselves reckon represented in themselves reckon represented in the media. And you can see more on the magazine and the thought behind it on bbc london facebook and our website. A look at the travel situation now. On the tube board, its all looking ok, although theres no waterloo and city line at the moment. Also some problems on the District Lines which is part suspended. On the trains, there are no trains running in or out of kings cross because of a signal failure and Great Northern have no trains between kings cross and alexandra palace. On the roads, Vauxhall Bridge remains closed to general traffic until december. Expect long delays due to other bridges being closed across the thames. Now the weather with kate. Good morning. It is a bright start this monday morning and it does not feel too bad out there either with temperatures widely in double figures, one or two spots which dropped just below. We should see the best of the sunshine we had through the morning and you will notice there are breaks in the cloud so sunny spell throughout, it isnt until this afternoon you will notice the cloud getting a bit thicker coming in from the west. The temperature today is a maximum of around 20 and if we get a bit more sunshine this afternoon, we could even see around 21. Overnight, it will stay rather cloudy, quite murky as well and we pick up milder air so it will feel sticky, humid. The minimum temperatures lower than last night and perhaps in 15 in Central London so quite uncomfortable first thing tomorrow morning. For the next couple of days it will stay largely cloudy but images getting up into the low 20s, but a cold front for thursday which brings in slightly fresher air but we should see a bit more sunshine. Thats it. Our next bulletin will be just before 7 00 on bbc one. Prout hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Well bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. Its been nearly six months since we were first asked to work from home but as more of us return to offices and workplaces, what can we expect from our commutes . Well be live at Liverpool Street station in london to find out. Comedian johnny vegas will tell us about how hes been highlighting the challenges faced by Cancer Patients during the pandemic and the unexpected friendships hes made along the way. Through the stratosphere. And the musician hashem Gregory Porter will be talking to us about his new album, losing his brother to covid, and overcoming the racism he experienced as a teenager. The Health Secretary, matt hancock, says he is concerned after the latest coronavirus figures showed a significant increase in the number of cases in the uk. Almost 3,000 cases were reported yesterday, thats a rise of 1,175 on the day before. Its the highest number reported in a single day since the 22nd of may. A further two deaths have also been recorded in the uk, taking the total to 41,551. Lets speak now to gp, fari ahmad, who joins us from wilmslow. Thank you for being on the programme with us. Let us start with those figures. How concerned are you and how concerned should we be . figures. How concerned are you and how concerned should we be . I think we should all be concerned. I think it shows us, this is not going away. The figures have been increasing and there was a lot of talk about whether it is just because we are testing more. Certainly earlier on in the pandemic. Wejust testing more. Certainly earlier on in the pandemic. We just didnt have the test. This sudden jump bubbly reflects a n the test. This sudden jump bubbly reflects an increase in the number of cases that are happening and of course not everybody who has coronavirus gets a test that we may just be seeing just a bit of a bigger iceberg. It doesnt sound like you are, it is understandable what is happening, given the rise in testing and the fact we are trying to get back to slight normality in some places but it doesnt sound like you are too concerned. At the moment, people who seem to be getting it more are younger people andi getting it more are younger people and i think we do understand that most of them seem to be ok with getting the illness. It is just when they are in contact with older members of their family, they are in contact with older members of theirfamily, of they are in contact with older members of their family, of their bubble, and they get the coronavirus, then we know they are at higher risk. If we look in europe, what we are seeing there is we have seen an increase in cases and then a couple of weeks later they have had an increase in their hospital admissions because obviously people who get the disease more severely are being affected then. Wejust more severely are being affected then. We just have to make sure we are not relaxing and doing all we can to reduce the spread of the virus. Which takes us back to what we we re virus. Which takes us back to what we were talking about months ago, washing hands and basic hygiene. As we we re washing hands and basic hygiene. As we were talking about more people returning to work and school, we have seen in recent weeks, and going back to university as well, it almost becomes more important now. Yes, yes it does. We know that when kids go back to school in their normal year, we see a spike in the number of respiratory infections and the flu as University Students go back so as people are mixing a little bit more and the number of cases will rise, it is important for lots of kids to get back to school, but i think schools are putting into place, taking steps to make sure they are reducing the risk of infection and i thinkjust encouraging everybody to stick to the basics, wash your hands, where the basics, wash your hands, where the old where your gloves, hand sanitiser, keep your distance, so we can keep this under as much control as we can. You mentioned the season, it is also flu season. So your practice started handing out vaccinations this weekend. How did it go . It went really well. There was a concern, we managed to do 1200 patients in the morning and we had it set up so we had all our doors and exits open and we had an amazing tea m and exits open and we had an amazing team who organised it with military precision so people were in and out. People are still scared of coming to the surgery but it went really well and lots of people who work positive and lots of people who work positive and happy about it. What i found good was people who we have offered to the flu jab two for a while and a lwa ys to the flu jab two for a while and always been hesitant about having it, came in this year because i think they understood that the risks are different this year and that is one of the means we have to reduce your chance of having the flu so they were keen to take it up. So it went well, mainly due to the team we had organising it all. Most places are going to start doing it today think people are doing drive through and having people wait in cars and we are all working on base various ways to make sure you reduce your risk of infection but still get the protection you still need. How much more work are you doing at the moment to a normal september . There is probably about 30 40 more work were doing compared to last year. A lot of that is do with things that should have been sorted out months ago, people didnt come and those problems have become more complicated. We have had to take on some of the stuff from hospitals because they werent able to do blood tests or prescriptions and then there is all the people that we re then there is all the people that were going to be seen and referrals got cancelled and they would come back to us and then the Mental Health impact which has been massively locked down and we are certainly seeing all the impact of that are now forced up appreciate your time as ever. Appreciate your time as ever. Appreciate your time as ever. Sally is back in the studio with breaking news. News from the states overnight, from the us open. World number one Novak Djokovic has been disqualified from the us open after hitting a ball at a linejudge. The 17 time grand slam winner had just lost serve to go 6 5 down in the first set of his match against pablo correna busta. Our Sports Correspondent andy swiss has the details. This was the moment Novak Djokovics us open hopes ended in controversy. After losing a point, off camera, he hits a ball which is then clear has struck one of the line judges who is in obvious distress. This replay shows djokovic on the right to striking the ball. It wasnt it seemed intentional and he was immediately concerned. But hitting an official with the ball is one of tenniss most serious offences. For tenniss most serious offences. For ten minutes, djokovic pleaded his case with the authorities, arguing it wasnt deliberate, but there was to be no persuading them. Djokovic was disqualified and after shaking his opponents hand, he headed for the accident. Djokovic remember is the top seed well djokovic didnt fulfil any of his media commitments after the match but he did release a statement on social media. This whole situation has left me really sad and empty. I checked on the lines person and the tournament told me that thank god she is feeling ok. Im extremely sorry to have caused her such stress. So unintended. So wrong. Well, speaking after the match, dkokovics opponent Pablo Correno Busta said he was certain that it was an accident. Of course i link that was not intentional. I think. I broke him the serve and you know, he threw the ball. I think that it was bad luck. You cannot do this but of course i think that novak was nervous never wa nts think that novak was nervous never wants to hit the line umpire. Jos buttler was the star of the show as england won the t 20 series against australia. Eoin morgan ran out steve smith, and australia finished their 20 overs 157 for seven. Buttler was at the crease from start to finish, hitting out to all corners of the ground. He provided the perfect end to the match for england as they won the second game by six wickets to go two up in the three match series. The game is set up as a one day chase. Have to imagine 50 overs to go and then keep the run rate going and build partnerships and dawood malan played great. David malan. Wales are top of their Nations League group after beating bulgaria 1 0. Ireland are third after losing 1 0 to finland. Wales had few opportunities in their game before Neco Williams scored in the 94th minute. That was the liverpool teenagers first professional goal. To make it for my country and to even score, as just a surreal moment. My family, friends, they are all proud of me so this is just the start for me and i will keep improving as a player and i will keep showing the dedication, i will stay humble and if that all comes together than for sure i will be a top player. Arsenal began their Womens Super League season with a 6 1 thumping of reading. Dutch strikerjill roord scored a hat trick for the three time champions with two goals for her compatriot vivienne miedema. Chelsea were held to a one all draw by manchester united. Leah galton equalised for united after sam kerr had put the champions ahead. Elsewhere there were wins for brighton and everton, while totenham drew with west ham. Lewis hamilton was pleased with his finish at the italian grand prix thats despite finishing seventh after a penalty demoted him to last place the race had to be stopped after this scary looking crash for ferraris charles leclerc. With hamilton receiving a penalty that saw him drop from first to the back frenchman pierre gasly capitalised to take his maiden f1 win. Hamilton being very sporting but peer had tricky year. A confidence crisis last year and came back and won. The djokovic thing, interesting to see the reaction. Many people of the opinion that he didnt intended and shouldnt have been disqualified but i suppose the organisers didnt really have any other option. Even though he is the best player in the world. Yes, it is the rules, basically. Right back to the rules and that is what it states that up if you hit a ball in anger and it hits somebody, that is what happens, you are disqualified. They stuck to the letter of the law. Djokovic, he hit the ball away, he thought he was about to lose the first set, realised it was going to hit the linejudge which it realised it was going to hit the line judge which it then obviously did. She was actually really shaken by this was not you can see, it hit her in the neck. Previously, djokovic has been asked about when he has a little bit of a temper tantrum on court. He does do that sometimes, doesnt he . He does that make he has been asked about it in press co nfe re nce. Make he has been asked about it in press conference. People have asked what had happened what would happen if you hit someone and he would say, it wouldnt happen, it wouldnt happen, well, it happens. From what he said overnight on social media, he knows he needs to learn his lessons and stop doing it. He has realised. If you read his statement cleverly, he says he reached up to the line judge. The tournament told me she was fine so i dont think the line judge has reached out to him just yet. Aq sally. Great to have you in here, by the way. Thank you. Shes been called the Mother Teresa of manchester for her work treating the poor and sick in the citys worst slums. Now victorian nun Elizabeth Prout who died in 1864 could become britains next saint as abbiejones reports. In the 19th century, densely packed slums filled vast areas of manchester. One area was famously referred to as hell on earth. These dangerous streets in 1849 came 29 year old Elizabeth Prout, touched by the misery and did deprivation she dedicated herself to teaching, feeding and nursing the poor. The area is now home to manchesters green quarter. There is no doubt Elizabeth Prout was forwardthinking. She wasnt afraid to go into the slums of the worst part of manchester in angel nieto and redbank, especially where disease was arrive at the time angel meadow. She was brave enough to go in and did minutes to the sick despite the terrible conditions. In and did minutes to the sick despite the terrible conditionsm this chapel she received herfirst nun habit. She funded schools. Battery schools and homes for desperate women. Destitute. It was branded revolutionary but to decades on her life deeds are finally being recognised after she was put forward to become britains next saint. The dossier is not to be examined by senior vatican clinics clerics who will then ask pope francis to declare her venerable. Next she will search they will search for miracles. Where she was born the catholics are praying for her to be recognised. We can see her readiness, willingness who live and die amongst the poor to go in, at the darkest tenements and reach the most abandoned is something that is a great witness of the christian mind. Elizabeth died atjust 43 from circular says. The path to canonisation is a long one but her supporters are saying 200 years on, they hope she is a step closer to sainthood. That is quite a long wait. It is a good story though, isnt it . Morning. Look at this lovely photograph that sarah has got. Is it an indication of what we may see today . Good morning, yes this is how things are looking, beautiful, stunning sunrise and many of us are waking up to really stunning sunrise is like this one in dorset. The cloud coming in from the north and west and lots of pink and orange is out there to be seen. It is a day of mixed fortunes certainly because we will have a lot of the cloud bringing some outbreaks of rain and the north and west and still windy as well but further south and east, different day so remaining mostly dry in the south and east with a bit of sunshine through as well and reasonably mild, if not warm for many of us. An area of High Pressure is moving in from the south west but also low pressure well to the north of the uk but these trailing weather fronts is bringing the rain and blustery winds in the north and west so some rain overnight across Northern England northern scotla nd Northern England northern scotland but rain pushing across parts of north west england into wales as well and becoming quite showery and patchy as it heads towards the south and east so much of southern and Eastern England and eastern scotland this afternoon looks dry and bright with temperatures in the low 20s but for most of us, the high teens through the afternoon. In this evening and overnight we will continue to see cloud, a few spots of light rain or drizzle pushing south across parts of wales, Northern England, and to the south from mist and fog patches around and for all of us, reasonably mild, infact around and for all of us, reasonably mild, in fact quite a humid feeling night. Heading on entered tomorrow, another area of low pressure is waving here, bringing some rain to the north west but also bringing some warmer air so the air, you can see the orange colours, drifting in from the south west, making things feel a bit warmer through the day, if not quite humid but quite a bit of cloud around. Through the day the cloud of morphine and brake tomorrow so some sunshine around, particularly for parts of eastern scotland, Eastern England. North west scotland will see more persistent rain and it could be a few spots of light drizzle around some western coast and hills as well but in those sunny spells, 2223 will feel pleasant. Into wednesday, warm air with us but starting to push further south so cooler conditions are starting to work in from the north west. Quite a cloudy start, particularly for england and wales as the weather front drift south, they could be the odd spot of rain, followed by brighter and drier conditions heading in from the north west so for many of us on wednesday those temperatures will be in the mid to high teens, turning fresher later on in the afternoon but towards the south east, 22 or 23 degrees. Quite a warm spell of weather through the middle part of the week. But warmth just starts to fade a little bit towards the end of the week so you could see some showers around thursday into friday but then once again, it looks like a return of something summary as temperatures once again warm up towards the weekend. Thank you very much and we will see you later. I want to show you a photograph from the paper which i have spotted in the Daily Telegraph. If you are watching breakfast on friday. I watched a lot of brea kfast friday. I watched a lot of breakfast on friday because of this. This is tim moffat, one of these quys this is tim moffat, one of these guys here, it is our magnificent reporter and tim was angling tim muffat. Dangling from blackpool tower because abseil of the century, a little time for you, yes very good. I stole that, thank you james. But this is tim and if you did not see this on friday, for the first time in tan years, every single lightbulb on the black all illuminations was replaced so 5752 light bulbs blackpool. Every single one was changed. Obviously he was very single one was changed. Obviously he was very calm under those circumstances. How would you have been . Moments ago i said i would be fine but now i am not sure i would be. I have sweaty palms thinking about it. I have significant height based issues. Well done, tim we have some brave reporters. Police in birmingham say theyve had a strong response from the public after releasing cctv images of a man suspected of a string of random stabbings in the early hours of sunday morning. One man was killed and seven others were injured in the attacks in the city centre. A major man hunt is continuing this morning. Lets speak to david jamieson, the West Midlands police and Crime Commissioner. Good morning and thank you indeed for joining good morning and thank you indeed forjoining us and clearly a terrifying incident that happened there in birmingham. A truly dreadful and unusual incident. Here in birmingham. I thought our thoughts must be for the family of the person who has died and those who are in hospital at the moment i still seriously injured. It was a dreadful event and the police are taking, took very swift action and are still working very hard now. We are still working very hard now. We are very are still working very hard now. We are very grateful to the public who have responded very well to the cctv images that will put out last night and the police are working on those now and im fairly confident now that there will be an arrest made very shortly. Ok, so you think the police are close to identifying the man . Say when do you expect that to be the case . Difficult to say but i think the sort of evidence they have now, the response they have had from the public has been truly excellent. I think that the police will be very shortly able to identify this person and make an arrest. Some concern from people as to how this was able, this sort of series was able to happen over a period of time. What happened . Well, we dont know. But is the truth. Looking at the cctv images, taking witness statements from people on the streets, you have to appreciate although this is very quiet where we are now, where some of the incidents took place would have been crowded and busy, as it a lwa ys have been crowded and busy, as it always is on a saturday night sunday morning here in birmingham, and he was able to slip through the crowds. But more detail on but i think will come out in the next few days but very difficult at the moment to say why that was the case. We are very grateful for the support of the public but also from other Police Forces around about and the Ambulance Service and did an excellent job in Ambulance Service and did an excellentjob in responding to a number of casualties of people on the streets on that sunday morning. Are you concerned by the fact he was able to roam the streets by a period of up to two hours . Yeah, that is a considerable worry and that is what we need to look into but as i say, the streets were very crowded at the time and the way he operated, but allowed him to move from place to place. That is a concern. However, that will come out further in the investigations and we will be able to get some sort of handle on this but the police, a large presence of police were in the area at the time and even larger Police Presence now, backed up by various other forces around about. What about motive . What do you know about motives at this point . At the moment that is very unclear. The police are not treating it as a terrorist incident ora treating it as a terrorist incident or a gang related incident at the moment. But once the suspect is in custody, it may become clearer what his motives were. I mean, there is a concern generally about not this particular occasion but i do have concerns about violence on the streets, not just in concerns about violence on the streets, notjust in birmingham and the West Midlands but the rest of the West Midlands but the rest of the country, as people are coming out of lockdown, there is a lot of pent up frustration among people and we are seeing some of that violence come from the effects of covid but i do not think this incident in any way was affected by covid mark, i think this was a loan actor, acting ina very think this was a loan actor, acting in a very unusual way, in is criminality, and as i say, once we have the suspect into custody, i think it will become clearer what his motives were lone actor. And why he carried out these horrendous attacks on a number of young people here in the centre of birmingham. We know right now this is there is a major manhunt going on so what do you say to the people in birmingham who are concerned about safety . think it is business as usual in birmingham. The birmingham people are sensible and resilient people. You know, people will go about their business as usual and even this time of the morning i am seeing people moving around the streets with a sort of Police President presence we have here at the moment, there is no threat here in the centre of birmingham, immingham is a good, lively place on friday and saturday nights and of course there is a lot of activity at the nightclub in the city centre. It is a good place but this is an unusual thing to happen and the chief constable said to me in all of his career he had never known anything quite like this to happen ina known anything quite like this to happen in a place like birmingham. David jamieson, thank you for your time here on breakfast. A three year project to introduce the sand lizard, one of the rarest reptiles back into the wild has come to an end. So far around 300 have been released into lancashire cosmic sand dunes. I do not even know what they look like morning good morning first of all, welcome to a slightly drizzly beach at life centre and is and this environment is actually home, sweet home to the sand lizard which is, as you mentioned, one of the rarest lizards in the uk and the sand lizard unsurprisingly given its name loves to live among sand dunes and also low land dry heath Lytham St Annes. On Wildlife Groups of you have mentioned have been working on a top secret project over the past few years to try to reintroduce them as part of the world and that is because their population has been lost to some parts of the country so yesterday, around here, 50 of the sand lizards were released into the wild and that is part of the project to release about 300 in total and we will meet one of the little fellows later. Hopefully we look forward to be back with you little bit later. They are tiny, obviously, really. I imagined they might be. This is exciting now. Do you want to do this one now . After some months, time now to get the news, travel and weather wherever you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. Public Health England are warning of a spike in coronavirus cases among young people in london. It comes following a similar warning at the weekend from epidemiologist Dame Anne Johnson, from University College london. Among concens is the impact of a return to colleges and universities. Public Health London told us the rise could be linked to guidelines being ignored. Young people not remembering to do some of the basics that we all need to do to prevent the transmission of infection wearing our masks, washing our hands, keeping our distance and that is really important to be reinforced as we see these increases occur. Some of londons railways will operate an autumn timetable of services, which means fewer trains running than before lockdown. Govia thameslink which operates gatwick, Great Northern, southern and thameslink trains say theyre running under 90 of services as part of a phased reintroduction. A woman from south london has launched a childrens magazine for boys to tackle the under representation of black children in the media. Serlina boyd launched cocoa boy to celebrate black culture, having began another magazine, cocoa girl, earlier this year. Ms boyd says she wants young people to achieve whatever they want. Its been really exciting launching cocoa boy because if you look on the news stands, there isnt really much boys magazines. Children who are black do not see themselves represented in the media. And you can see more on the magazine on bbc london facebook and our website. A look at the travel situation now. On the tube board, the District Line has no service between earls court and kensington olympia, due to a signal failure. And the waterloo and city line has a planned closure. On the trains services are starting to run from Kings Cross Station after a signalfailure, but National Rail are advising comuters not to travel this morning, if possible. On the roads its busy around the oval as Vauxhall Bridge remains closed to most traffic. Expect long delays due to other bridges being closed too. Now the weather with kate. Good morning. It is a bright start this monday morning and it does not feel too bad out there, either. Temperatures widely in double figures, one or two spots which dropped just below. We should see the best of the sunshine as we head through the morning and you will notice there are breaks in the cloud so sunny spells throughout. It isnt until this afternoon you will notice the cloud getting a bit thicker coming in from the west. The temperature today a maximum of around 20 and if we get a bit more sunshine this afternoon, we could even see around 21. Overnight, it will stay rather cloudy, quite murky as well and we pick up milder air so it will feel sticky, humid. The minimum temperatures lower than last night and perhaps in 15 in Central London so quite uncomfortable first thing tomorrow morning. For the next couple of days, it will stay largely cloudy but temperatures getting up into the low 20s, then a cold front for thursday which brings in slightly fresher air but we should see a bit more sunshine. Thats it. Va nessa Vanessa Feltz is about to start her brea kfast Vanessa Feltz is about to start her Breakfast Show on bbc radio london. Our next bulletin will be just before 7 00 on bbc one.

I will have more in about ten minutes. Its monday 7 september. Our top story a major manhunt is continuing in birmingham this morning to find a knifeman who killed one person and wounded seven others in the early hours of yesterday. Cctv images of a suspect have been released, and armed police were deployed overnight to reassure the community. In their latest update, officers say theyre following up several new lines of inquiry. Heres simonjones. Wanted, on suspicion of murder. Police are asking who is this man and where is he . The suspect seen here just before 2 00 yesterday morning. By this time, several people had been stabbed. Late last night, West Midlands police tweeted. Overnight, investigations have continued into the spate of stabbings. Police admit they dont why the attacker struck. People on a night out it came to the aid of the victims. My friend said to me its a suspected stabbing, get inside. Obviously ive ran in and then ive ran back out to help as much as possible. At the time i was just more concerned about the lady on her own and lying there, i just couldnt leave her. She looked very dazed and confused and couldnt talk but she was talking to my friend with blinks, so, two for yes, one for no. Police were first called to Constitution Hill at 12 30, where the first victim had been attacked. Then, 20 minutes later, to livery street, where a 19 year old man was critically injured and a woman was also hurt. An hour later, a 23 year old man was found dead in irving street. Another man was seriously injured. Then at 2am, a 32 year old woman was critically injured in her street with the two men also suffering injuries. We are very grateful to the public who have responded very well to the cctv images that were put out last night and the police are working on those now and im fairly confident now that there will be an arrest made very shortly. Some residents are asking how the knife man was able to move through the city centre for 90 minutes without being caught. Police say he took an unusual route. Witnesses describe him as extremely calm. He wasnt even panicking, he wasnt reacting or anything. Afterjust, after he stabbed, four, five, maybe seven times, i think. He walked as if nothing happened. Police say they are doing everything they can to provide answers to reassure the community. Simon jones, bbc news. Geeta pendse is at the scene of one of the stabbings whats the situation this morning . What is happening there . Morning, dan. Iam what is happening there . Morning, dan. I am on irving street which is cordoned off at the moment and is one of those four locations where the attacks took place on sunday morning. Following the release of that cctv footage of a man suspected of carrying out the attacks, the West Midlands police say that they have a really they have had a really strong response to the cctv footage and detectives are now exploring several new lines of enquiry and through the night the tea m enquiry and through the night the team has been working to identify and to track the suspect who is wa nted and to track the suspect who is wanted on suspicion of murder. They have also set up a special hotline for the public so if there is anything that has seen the footage this morning or that perhaps was around on sunday morning to contact them via this hotline or to go to them via this hotline or to go to the website. Now parts of the city do remain cordoned off as i wander through, drove in this morning, i could see the parts that were cordoned off large parts of immingham city centre yesterday were reopened and they remain open this morning. Birmingham. Local leaders are saying people can come in and it is safe but police say to remain vigilant and if you see anything suspicious to contact the police. The government is planning new legislation that would re write a key section of the brexit Withdrawal Agreement. For so long, the Sticking Point in the brexit talks was the future of the border between Northern Ireland and the irish republic, and the desire to avoid a so called hard border. When a Withdrawal Agreement was agreed last year, it allowed for future checks on some goods entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain. But the government is now set to introduce legislation which could remove those checks, which downing street says is a standby plan in case trade talks fail. Lets speak to our political correspondent, iain watson, now who joins us from westminster. Iain, this all comes as the latest round of trade negotiations with the eu are due to begin tomorrow. What impact could this have on the talks . It is significant because time is running out essentially. Trade talks will resume tomorrow but the Prime Minister has said that if all this isnt done and dusted by the middle of october when eu leaders meet on october 15, and we will have to accept that we wont get a trade deal with the European Union. He is quite bullish about those prospects and said we can prosper and thrive on trading the same basis as australia does with the eu and that means no trade deal at all, it means tariffs, in other words it would cost more forward tecumseh come infor cost more forward tecumseh come in for the United Kingdom but it is a last ditch attempt to see if they can break the current deadlock, deadlock overfishing and how much money the uk would give perhaps to its industries. If there is no time to break that deadlock, it looks like it is a high wire act the government is undertaking because they will be doing is introducing a new law on wednesday that would give it the flexibility to move away from some of the commitments it made in Northern Ireland which includes liberty checks on food and livestock and if they do that, well, eu sources say the talks could be scuppered. The Irish Government says it is unwise. But some people are saying actually what the government is doing is holding a gun to the eus head and saying, look, if you wa nt eus head and saying, look, if you want us to stick to our commitments we have made then stick to your commitment to give the uk a free trade deal. So this could be a last ditch attempt to try to get a breakthrough. Iain watson, thank you. A Public Inquiry starts today into the Manchester Arena terror attack. Its been more than three years since salman abedi detonated a bomb following an Ariana Grande concert, killing 22 people. Abedis brother, hashem, was jailed last month for at least 55 years for his role in the attack. As more of us are encouraged to return to the workplace, Train Companies in england and wales are increasing their services. Our transport correspondent tom burridge is at londons Liverpool Street station this morning to see whether the monday commute is getting back to normal. Does it feel like a slice of normality this morning . As slice i think is fairto normality this morning . As slice i think is fair to say. This is one of the biggest stations in the country and as you can see, it is pretty quiet even at this time of the day. Extra heart extra staff is on hand but over the coming weeks rail bosses have a delicate balance to strike. They want more passengers back on the network but they dont wa nt back on the network but they dont want commuters crowding trains and stations at certain times. The ra i lwa ys stations at certain times. The railways are not going back to how they were before the pandemic. Passenger numbers up to now are still relatively low, about a third of pre covert levels, but you will see in some places services cut in the short term pre covid levels will stop you will see more carriages in a lot of places to try and help manage the flow passengers through the network at peak times, particularly when schoolchildren are using certain lines in certain places. The other big issue is money and the government has been covering the losses of running a huge rail network with very few passengers on it. It cost them hundreds of millions of pounds a month right now and therefore there is that financial incentive, too, for ministers, that people get back on the train. But in big numbers, social distancing wont be possible and that is the sort of balance that faces the Rail Industry and government right now. On that issue of the balance of trying to get people back to work with safety at the same time, we will be speaking to the mayor of london sadiq khan. A limited number of driving tests will be available to book from today, but learners are being warned that there will be very high demand for relatively few tests. More than 200,000 were cancelled and tens of thousands more delayed, because of the coronavirus pandemic. Candidates in scotland will also be able to book tests from today. India has overtaken brazil to become the country with the worlds second highest number of Coronavirus Infections. It recorded more than 90,000 positive cases on monday in a new daily record, bringing the total to more than four million with over 70,000 deaths. The united states, with more than six million cases, remains the worst affected country. More than 200 people have been airlifted to safety in Central California after a fast moving wildfire threatened to cut off a campsite. Firefighters are battling 23 separate blazes across the state where some areas are experiencing temperatures of more than 45 degrees celsius, thats 113 degrees in fahrenheit. It would be terrifying to be in that car with all the flames around. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. Another lovely picture behind you, good morning, sarah. A mixed picture out there today across the uk. For some of us, they will be some wind and rain and for other areas, drier and rain and for other areas, drier and brighter. Mainly on the north and brighter. Mainly on the north and west that we will be seeing the wet weather. Some sunshine coming through towards the south and south east but for all of us, a fairly mild if not a warm feel to the weather through today and in fa ct the weather through today and in fact the next couple of days as well. Here is the radar. Where we have seen the rain falling, it has been heavy across parts of scotland and Northern England and Northern Ireland. As this rain continues, it becomes patchy and showery but they will be further showers pushing into the west of scotland later in the day. The eastern scotland and must much of Eastern England, you should stay dry. Some sunshine lifting temperatures to around 20 or 21. The winds are also a notable feature particularly across scotland. Just about 35 mph so quite a blustery field. Sunshine in the east on monday afternoon but this afternoon still quite cloudy and murky for parts of Northern Ireland towards northwest england as heading further south, not quite as windy and a bit more sunshine particularly for east anglia and the south east. Overnight, quite a bit of cloud drifting its way southwards and eastwards. The odd spot of drivel cut drizzle. Quite a mild start to tomorrow morning with tim bridges already in the mid teens. Many of us are seeing a dry day. Temperatures. We could see possibly even up into the mid 20s on tuesday. A Public Inquiry into the Manchester Arena terror attack starts today. The inquiry will explore the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the terror attack so lets remind ourselves of whats happened so far. On may 22nd 2017, salman abedi detonated a suicide bomb at Manchester Arena killing 22 people. On march 27th 2018, the independent kersla ke report, which conducted a review into the response of the Emergency Services on the night, was published. On october 22nd 2019, the home secretary priti patel set up the Manchester Arena inquiry. On august 20th this year, hashem abedi, the brother of the suicide bomber, was sentenced to 55 years in prison for his role in the attack. Which brings us to today and the start of the inquiry. The parents of the youngest victim, 8 year old saffie rose roussos, say they do not believe that the whole inquiry will be transparent. Andrew and lisa roussos are calling for lawyers representing the bereaved families to be allowed access to private hearings concerning the Security Services. Theyve been speaking to the bbcs north of england correspondent judith moritz. She wouldnt keep still all the time, would she . She was like that from the minute she was born first ofa from the minute she was born first of a properfidget. She from the minute she was born first of a proper fidget. She would from the minute she was born first of a properfidget. She would have been the best of whatever she was going to become whether it be a housewife or an astronaut because she was. The qualities that she had. Her smile, her eyes. Her fund for life. How funny she was. It is three it is it is three years on, more than three years is not how much his life change . How are you feeling in yourself . It still feels like yesterday every day. Every morning you wake up, it happens again. She died that day, every day. That is just how it is that we have to live with that. What do you want from a public enquiry, from this enquiry . It is not easy as time passes to start reliving the moments and start inking about the moment but it is something that needs to happen. Thinking. All i hear is Lessons Learned and lessons havent been learned. Lessons will never be learnt unless we get that transparency and honesty from the people involved to get the answers that we need. And i dont want to go back over stuff which is unnecessarily painful but i know you wa nt to unnecessarily painful but i know you want to talk about this, so, what do you rememberfrom want to talk about this, so, what do you remember from that want to talk about this, so, what do you rememberfrom that night . Want to talk about this, so, what do you remember from that night . M want to talk about this, so, what do you remember from that night . It was like a horror movie. There were kids screaming, they were kids injured on the floor. There were people around them all crying. I had a xander with me. He had a little dog and i believe there is a photograph of us both and we were both with shock on our faces because of what we were watching. What we were looking at. Everybody froze. Nobody had any control of what to do. You dont feel they were in command of it . They werent in command of it. I was walking out with a little child and chew hour. I asked everything a Police Officer i went past, they just said just keep looking. You didnt know they were just yards away inside . My daughter and wife we re away inside . My daughter and wife were inside on the floor lying down. I could have been with them. I could have been holding saffys hand instead of a stranger, imagine how she was by herself . You are inside . I had she was by herself . You are inside . Ihada she was by herself . You are inside . I had a bolt in the back of my neck which completely paralysed me. All i could do was blink. I remember lying there thinking it is ok, help will be here soon. And in the end it felt like i was lying there for hours. Why is nobody coming . You have been to three hospitals and use it you still didnt know where saffy was . No stop searching everywhere. To find where saffy was. I said could you please let me know what has happened. The worst thing for me is if saffie could have been saved, have you gone over that . I have done, yeah. Think notjust saffie but other people, they leave . Injured people in the arena for hours . That is your main question . Yeah. It is just madness. Hours . That is your main question . Yeah. It isjust madness. Some of these hearings are going to be held in private. Because of national security. Of course. Are you worried you will not be able to ask the questions there that you would like to be able to . Yes. We have five or six law firms representing all of the families so if there are five or six firms, lets have one barrister from each firm in the room. Obviously you have not put your full trust in the chairman. This enquiry is not about trust, it should be about transparency. I mean, this could have happened to any family. Could happen to anyone. It can happen to any family in the future. This is why it is so important for things to change. It is a really difficult there listening to saffies parents, lisa and andrew, speaking so openly tojudith. Victoria higgins is a solicitor representing 11 of the families and joins us now. We really get a sense from them, and im sure the families that you represent, how important it is for them. Good morning. Good morning. How important is this . Obviously it is very, very important to the families. The process has gone on for a long, long time and obviously, we have just seen the conclusion of the criminal proceedings but it is during the public enquiry, this enquiry, where the family cosmic questions will be answered and it is so very important to them that the transparency is there the familiess questions. So important that the truth is explored. Give us the sense of the kind of questions they would like to have answered. So obviously the main focus is to try and ascertain how and why this murderous act was able to take place on may 22, 2017. A lot of the families have different areas in which they are more interested in and which they want to focus upon. And so, the remit of the enquiry investigation is all centred around something that we refer to as the terms of reference. And simply put, thats a broad set of questions which are designed to encompasss instructions. And the terms of reference will focus on pre attack, and attack planning, and the movements of the abedi brothers in the months preceding the attack and the months preceding the attack and the attack itself and get a better understanding of, as to how salman abedi was able to position himself where he did, when he detonated the device that he built with his brother. In that section, we will also look at the aryna security, whether there are any breaches, and whether there are any breaches, and whether he could or should have been identified and approached much sooner identified and approached much sooner arena security. Will also look at Emergency Response and whether there are any failings in terms of the speed at which they responded to the attack and so, if there were any failings there, what lessons there were any failings there, what lesso ns ca n there were any failings there, what lessons can be learned to ensure that the responses are quicker and slicker in future. We will also look at the experience of those injured and also to better understand how the 22 came about their death at night. And of course, you mentioned the 22 and this is right at the heart of it, isnt it . Families torn apart. And i know they will be able to talk about their loved ones as well, wont they . Of course, yeah. As pa rt of well, wont they . Of course, yeah. As part of the terms of reference, the first part of the enquiry is focused on commemorative hearings so today, there will be the names of the 22 victims will be read out loud and there will be one minutes silence and also, over the coming weeks, there will be stories from family members and friends and loved ones so that the enquiry and the public can better get to know those individuals on a more personal level, so we can understand who they were, what they did, what they enjoy doing and, as you have said, it is very, very important that those 22 and the brief families bereaved families remain at the centre of this process. It must be a tough day out of many tough days for the families. How are they feeling . Obviously, it continues to be a very difficult and distressing time for the families. There has been a flurry of activity in recent weeks with the sentencing of hashem abedi and the conclusion of the criminal proceedings. And now as we move into the public enquiry, the families have a lot of questions that they wa nt have a lot of questions that they want answered. But over the coming months, they will be exposed to some difficult evidence and information and it is just difficult evidence and information and it isjust important difficult evidence and information and it is just important that is explored in some detail, to ensure that the questions that they have a nswered that the questions that they have answered in as much detail as possible. Victoria, thank you indeed for speaking to us. Victoria represents some of those families. Just to let you know full what is happening for the rest of the programme and a slight change, we have changed position, still far apart but closer in the middle. And also if you have switched on we have our Regional News back so we are saying once again time to get the news and travel and weather wherever you are and one guest were looking forward to speaking to, because beyond nine oclock, we have to finishing about what a past nine, Gregory Porter will be herejoining us live what a past nine, Gregory Porter will be here joining us live talking about his new album and losing his brother to coronavirus and also, he has written one of the songs about how he overcame some of the racism that he experienced as a teenager so lots to talk to him about and he will be here at five minutes past nine. Shall we talk about this . Novak djokovic, hit a tennis ball which hit a linejudge. In Novak Djokovic, hit a tennis ball which hit a line judge. In the Novak Djokovic, hit a tennis ball which hit a linejudge. In the neck. And obviously serious implications from that, he has been defaulted from that, he has been defaulted from the us open after this incident, hitting the linejudge in what appeared to be i dont know why he did it that he has apologised profusely. He was frustrated but still, there seem to be that huge difference of opinion. Some people say it was an overreaction to throw him out but others say it is the rules and he seems to have expected it, certainly, in his social media coach post but he didnt do any press after the match because he was miffed it seems. Labour has demanded that the Health Secretary matt hancock appears before the house of commons today to explain why the number of coronaviruses cases has increased so significantly. It comes after almost 3,000 infections were reported yesterday in the uk a rise of 1,175 on the day before. Thats the highest number reported in a single day since the 22nd of may. Lets speak now to the shadow Health Secretary jonathan ashworth, who joins us from leicester. Starting with that figure, how concerned are you and how concerned should we be . Deeply concerned, it is extremely worrying. It suggests that infection rates are increasing. It is ones of data but it has come on the back of a number of days where the rate has been going up but we obviously need to see where we are in the next couple of days but what is worrying me really is we are seeing infection rates wise rising while there are all these problems that people are experiencing trying to get a test, these sick and ill people with covid symptoms are told to drive sometimes over 100 miles to a testing centre. This simply is not good enough. It is not world beating so we are asking matt hancock, the Health Secretary, to come to the house of commons quickly and explain what is going on with the testing fiasco, tell us how he is going to fix it but also, thus hisjudgement tell us how he is going to fix it but also, thus his judgement on what is happening with the infection and what we need to do to get control of this dangerous virus. We will speak to George Eustice the environment secretary in a few minutes time and im sure he will say part of these figures are down to the fact has been increased and better testing. There was a new package announced last week. Is that a significant statement . Do you think it could have an impact on the figures we are seeing . It is a greater proportion of people showing up in the figures with the virus so it is notjust simply because you merrily there are more testing going on. Numerically there is more testing but we need to know how seriously the government is taking this and what happens next. I would say they have to get on top of this fiasco of recent days of people not being able to get a test and people told track miles and miles and im in leicester and a constituent he was trying to book a test at the drive through centre on friday and was told to travel 55 miles to sheffield. But is not acceptable. But we also have to do things like improve the Contact Tracing system, it is not following up tracing system, it is not following up enough contacts, and because we know this virus is particularly endemic now in poorer areas where there are lots of People Living in housing where there is dense and low pay, relying on zero hours contracts, these people are sick with the virus and perhaps have been contacted and are not able to isolate because they simply have not got the Financial Support to do so. The government need a realistic plan to solve that problem as well. We spoke about testing, i wonder, are you concerned that people, enough people, are not taking this seriously enough now . And there are those who are not following the rules . Those who are not following the rules . And if that is the case, what would you do differently . The government have a responsibility to clearly communicate the rules. Often it feels like there is a new rule every day and it gets very confusing sometimes so the government needs to clearly communicate the rules. There isa clearly communicate the rules. There is a responsibility as me on an on me as an opposition government member so we need to wash your hands on herface masks and social distance because we cannot be complacent but also we have to ensure that the Contract Tracing system works effectively. We were promised a world beating system by now, by september, and it is not. I think it is because the contracts who are running the systems were handed to private outsourcing companies, none of whom have any experience in doing Contact Tracing, and we should have invested in local Public Health teams who have years of experience of dealing with disease outbreaks and obviously not covid outbreaks but they have been dealing with other disease outbreaks and that is what they are trained to do and we should be investing in them and giving them the lead responsibility for Contact Tracing. Something else we will speak to George Eustice about, we learned last night the government is planning to introduce legislation that could override key parts of the brexit Withdrawal Agreement made last year, if no trade agreement is made with the eu. Is this a negotiating technique . What do you think . For goodness sake, Boris Johnson said he had an oven ready deal which is why he had a general election last year, because he said he had an oven ready deal and he wa nted he had an oven ready deal and he wanted the british people to vote for his party, which they did, they gave him a majority to deliver this deal and parliament then voted for the Withdrawal Agreement and then he signed treaties with these Northern Ireland arrangements and he is now coming back on his word on that front. And it has the risk of plunging us into a nodal scenario at a time when our economy is heading into recession, when many people are fea rful of into recession, when many people are fearful of losing theirjobs into recession, when many people are fearful of losing their jobs because the furlough scheme is coming to an end and the furlough scheme is coming to an end and i would argue it should be expanded to vulnerable sectors no deal scenario. This is the last time when you want to be risking your economy because we need to be growing the economy to safeguard jobs and livelihoods. The good to talk to you this morning, we have to leave it there. Breaking news in the last couple of moments, from West Midlands police, they say they have arrested a man on suspicion of murder and seven counts of attempted murder and seven counts of attempted murder in connection with the birmingham stabbings and a little bit more information there, they say the man who is 27 was held at an address in selly oak in birmingham around for am today so the news coming from west Redlands Police are saying that they have arrested a man on suspicion of murder and seven cou nts on suspicion of murder and seven counts of attempted murder in connection with the birmingham stabbings 4am. More information on that later. We are speaking to the West Midlands Crime Commission as soon as they were expecting to have an arrest so it has now happened. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. Public Health England are warning of a spike in coronavirus cases among young people in london. It comes following a similar warning at the weekend from epidemiologist Dame Anne Johnson, from University College london. Among concerns is the impact of a return to colleges and universities. Public Health London told us the rise could be linked to guidelines being ignored. Young people not remembering to do some of the basics that we all need to do to prevent the transmission of infection wearing our masks, washing our hands, keeping our distance and that is really important to be reinforced as we see these increases occur. One of londons largest historical cemeteries is to reopen to the public today. Willesden Jewish Cemetery was closed to everyone during the pandemic, opening only for funerals. But from today, people can once again visit gravesides and also learn about londons jewish heritage. A woman from south london has launched a childrens magazine for boys to tackle the under representation of black children in the media. Serlina boyd launched cocoa boy to celebrate black culture, having began another magazine cocoa girl earlier this year. Ms boyd says she wants young people to achieve whatever they want. Its been really exciting launching cocoa boy because if you look on the news stands, there isnt really much boys magazines. Children who are black do not see themselves represented in the media. And theres more on the magazine on bbc london facebook and our website. A look at the travel situation now. On the tube board theres a good service apart from on the trains theres severe disruption for trains in and out of kings cross after a signalfailure. National rail are advising commuters not to travel this morning, if possible. On the roads its busy around the oval as Vauxhall Bridge remains closed to most traffic. Expect long delays due to other bridges being closed too. Now the weather with kate. Good morning. It is a bright start this monday morning and it does not feel too bad out there, either. Temperatures widely in double figures, one or two spots which dropped just below. We should see the best of the sunshine as we head through the morning and you will notice there are breaks in the cloud so sunny spells throughout. It isnt until this afternoon you will notice the cloud getting a bit thicker coming in from the west. The temperature today a maximum of around 20 and if we get a bit more sunshine this afternoon, we could even see around 21. Overnight, it will stay rather cloudy, quite murky as well and we pick up milder air so it will feel sticky, humid. The minimum temperatures lower than last night and perhaps in 15 in Central London so quite uncomfortable first thing tomorrow morning. For the next couple of days, it will stay largely cloudy but temperatures getting up into the low 20s, then a cold front for thursday which brings in slightly fresher air but we should see a bit more sunshine. Thats it. Va nessa Vanessa Phelps has more on the rise in coronavirus cases among young people on radio london. Our next bulletin is in an hours time on bbc one, just before 8. 30. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Labour has joined the Irish Government in condemning new downing street plans which would over ride key parts of the brexit Withdrawal Agreement. It comes as uk eu talks on a future trade deal are due to resume again tomorrow. Lets speak now to the environment secretary George Eustice, who joins us from westminster. Good morning. Thank you forjoining us. The Prime Minister very famously said that deal was oven ready. Is this and it mission that it is not . The deal was very clear. It had the Northern Ireland protocol that set out the arrangements that would prevent the need for any checks along the Northern Ireland border but there were also one or two finer points of detail that still had to be resolved. That was always recognised and that is why the agreement itself, michael gove was leading on that and they have been working through the technical issues. We are really saying is this thatis issues. We are really saying is this that is protest once that process is concluded, there may well be one or two loose ends and we just need the ability to give people the certainty they need to legislate to give that clarity and that is all this is about. So is no deal effective then back on the table . We have obviously a deal in that the Withdrawal Agreement itself set out the approach for Northern Ireland but of course we have been working over the last few months to try to get another new free tainted Free Trade Agreement. The premise has been clear were not asking for anything exceptional, but we think anything exceptional, but we think an agreement along the lines that the eu has with canada, fairly standard but quite ambitious Free Trade Agreement, is it something thatis trade agreement, is it something that is worth doing and we stand ready to do that. The European Union have been reluctant to engage on that basis. They appear to be somewhat in denial about the fact that we do genuinely want to be an independent country so those negotiations have not been easy and what the Prime Ministers really said today is we do need to give business certainty sometime soon and so we have to reach some kind of conclusion by the middle of october otherwise we have to plan on the basis that there will be no further negotiation negotiated outcome and we will trade with the eu in the way that australia does at the moment. You called it loose ends. The Irish Foreign minister said this would be a very unwise way to proceed. Clearly notjust thinking it is loose ends. Well, he doesnt know what we are proposing. The government later this week will publish in detail the uk internal market bill. That is about how we protect the uk internal market so we dont get friction within our own territories and borders. We have a lwa ys territories and borders. We have always been clear, this is not new to me that we would guarantee u nfettered to me that we would guarantee unfettered access to the gigabits market for Northern Ireland businesses Great Britain market. This is not new and the joint committee is working through some of these technical issues, making some quite good progress, i think. We do asa quite good progress, i think. We do as a responsible government have a duty to the ruh people of Northern Ireland and for the Peace Process in the Northern Ireland, to stand behind that belfast agreement. Duty to the people. We need to provide people with the certainty they need. Will be be checks on the border between the Northern Ireland and the republic . Not between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland, no. The key thing between the protocol, the compromise, if you like, is that they will be no infrastructure along the border between Northern Ireland and ireland but what then we will do is good is coming from gb, no customs checks but some customs procedures and administrative processes for goods that might be transiting through to ireland and when it comes to agri food exports, they may be some limited checks at ports at entries such as belfast. We are working through that, designing the capabilities to be able to deliver what we said we would do under the Northern Ireland protocol. But the agreement was they would be some limited checks going from gb to Northern Ireland on certain goods and in return, no checks along the irish border. That remains our view that they would be that would be the way forward. There were reports that downing street is the chance of a deal would be 30 40 . What would you say . We are not putting on it that i dont think this i am letting any secrets out by saying that these negotiations have been difficult and there have been particular areas where the eu has wanted us to stay linked to their state aid regime which words probably mean we would end up still under elements of eu law and that is obviously not a cce pta ble law and that is obviously not acceptable to us and they are also on denial about what it means for a country to be an independent coastal state. We believe that when we leave the eu we want to be a bit like norway and control access to our waters. The European Union seem to be in denial about that at the moment even though that is a legal default, as it were, in international law. It has been quite difficult to get them to engage in a sensible kind of Free Trade Agreement, a bit like they already have with canada. But we will still be working very hard over the next month to try and get that delivered. We understand that the Prime Minister is going to say today that a no deal could be a good outcome. Is this a negotiating tactic . Sort of threatening them . Well it is not really a tactic in the Prime Minister has been absolutely clear since he was elected with a very clear mandate to leave that we would leave at the end of the transition period with or without a further negotiated settlement. We would work absolutely night and day to try to get that canada style Free Trade Agreement that we seek that if the European Union wouldnt offer that well, we would still leave on time as we promised to and we would do so under the terms of the existing Withdrawal Agreement that we got and trade with the eu in much the same way that australia does, so it is not posturing or a threat, this has been the reality of our position right from the beginning. Is it to appease your own party . No, it is because the country voted to leave the European Union in 2016, there has been lots of talk about it over many, has been lots of talk about it over any has been lots of talk about it over many, many years now. The Prime Minister was clear with the electorate when we had that general election last year that he would deliver what they voted for, that we would leave the European Union and that we would not extend the transition period and he is going to deal deliver all of those things that he promised the british people that he promised the british people that he promised the british people that he would do. On another subject, which we talked about over the last few months, are you concerned by the rise in Coronavirus Infections . 3000 nearly yesterday. Yes, we are concerned. Matt hancock made this point yesterday, we have been monitoring the incidence of this disease very closely but that isa this disease very closely but that is a significant jump. This disease very closely but that is a significantjump. It is also i think the case that it is particularly prevalent among younger people. On one level, they tend to whether the virus better than most but what we have seen in some countries is it starts in an incident of young people and then obviously starts to spread through the Wider Population and can have impact. As matt hancock said, this is something the government is concerned about. As your report and your interview in withjohn at worst said earlier, part of this is we are testing more but that doesnt explain all of it. John ashworth. It has definitely increased. Is your message to young people not getting through . It is difficult to say that it may well be that young people are finding it harder to continue to abide by the lockdown rules and may bea abide by the lockdown rules and may be a being a bit complacent as time goes on. It is hard tojudge that for certainty but as matt hancock has said, it underlines the importance of people continuing to ta ke importance of people continuing to take precautions, keeping their distance, wearing a face mask when they are out, not mixing with others more than they need to, avoiding large social gatherings, all of these things are very important if we are to continue to keep this virus under control and prevent a return to the types of lockdowns that we all want to avoid. Does it jeopardise the governments met message which is get back to you what place . Workplace . message which is get back to you what place . Workplace . I dont dig it does because it seems to be a particular age group in the population. The truth is, people have successfully gone back to their business, going to restaurants and pubs but taking precautions. Factories have been back at work now for several months and we have managed to do all of these things while keeping a virus. The loosening of the lockdown has been done in a sensible way and we have replaced it with some of those local lockdowns which have affected in particular some of those local lockdowns did deliver results. I think the approach we have is the right one but i know matt hancock and Health Officials will be looking at this worrying increase in the incidents over the weekend very closely. Environment secretary George Eustice, thank you for your time. Sally is here talking about and explaining my Novak Djokovic, the top seed, the fellow behind you, has been thrown out of the us open. Disqualified, instant disqualification for him. Good morning. World number one Novak Djokovic has been disqualified from the us open after hitting a ball at a linejudge. It happened during his fourth round match with Pablo Carreno busta. The number one seed had just lost serve to go 6 5 down in the first set when he hit the ball behind him. It hit the female line judge in the throat and she spent several minutes being attended to on court. There then followed lengthy discussions between officials and djokovic before he was told he was out of the competition well, djokovic didnt fulfil any of his media commitments after the match, but he did release a statement on social media. 2020, not a great year for Novak Djokovic. Jos buttler was the star of the show as england won the t20 series against australia. Eoin morgan ran out steve smith and australia finished their 20 overs 157 7. Buttler was at the crease from start to finish, hitting out to all corners of the ground. He provided the perfect end to the match for england as they won the second game by six wickets to go two up in the three match series. Once it came through the first six, the game is almost set up like a one day chase. I tried to imagine it as a 50 over game with 15 overs to go and trying to pick up a boundary and over, and then keep the run rate going and build partnerships, and dawid malan played fantastically well again, as always. And i thought that partnership really took us a long way in the game and kept pressure on australia. Wales are top of their Nations League group after beating bulgaria 1 0. Ireland are third after losing 1 0 to finland. Wales saw few opportunities in their game before Neco Williams scored in the 94th minute. That was the liverpool teenagers first professional goal. Britains adam yates lost the Yellow Jersey and slipped from first to eighth at the Tour De France, with two weeks to go. Hes always said his target was to win individual stages, but having fought hard to defend the race lead for four days, yates finally fell behind the leading contenders on stage nine. One of the pre race favourites Slovenias Primoz Roglic is the new race leader. It is one of those things that when you say you have been leading the Tour De France for four days, you say you have been leading the Tour De France forfour days, it does not sound like a long time but it is like dog years four years to lead forfour it is like dog years four years to lead for four days, and it is like dog years four years to lead forfour days, and it is incredible. It is, and so painful i have a story i spotted over the weekend which i think you may like. A man has blown up out of his house in france when he was trying to swat a fly. No he is in his 80s and was about to tuck into his dinner and became irritated by a fly buzzing around and picked up an electric racket designed to kill bugs and started swatting it. A battery operated thing . Started swatting it. A batteryoperated thing . Yes, he kitted gas canister and the reaction between the two caused an explosion does make he is all right, do not fear does mike destroying his entire kitchen and part of the roof of his home. He had a lucky escape, he only sustained a bird to his hand is living on a local campsite on his family repair the house. No sign of what is happening to the fly. family repair the house. No sign of what is happening to the fly. I knew those were dangerous, those things be careful out there. I have been stunned by your pictures this morning, sarah. Good morning. We had some beautiful pictures coming through, the weather watchers have been out and about capturing these amazing sunrises and lots of pink, purple and orange out there and this was about one hour ago in South Yorkshire and many of us had quite a bit of clout just yorkshire and many of us had quite a bit of cloutjust piling in from the north west and increasing so far this morning and we will see more cloud on the north and west so that will bring some rent through the day and also quite windy conditions as well but contrasting further south and east, a drier day and warm as well with some spells of sunshine breaking through. High pressure is moving in from the south west but also low pressure well to the north of the uk but these trailing weather fronts has brought the cloud and rain across parts of scotland, Northern Ireland. It is thinking across parts of Northern England and north wales but he becomes increasingly patchy and shari as it has further south. Further showers moving into the west of scotland later, is to scotland brightening up. Showery. You should say drive for a up. Showery. You should say drive forafair bit up. Showery. You should say drive for a fair bit of the day, 20 or 21 degrees in the warmest spots but many will feel the high teens. This evening and overnight, we keep the cloud we shift further south. Lots of drizzle mixed in and perhaps some missed, low cloud and fogginess first thing tomorrow morning, especially around coast and hills in the west. A mild night, temperatures in the mid teens and quite humid overnight. This warm front is moving its way north. It will bring some outbreaks of rain in the north west but also introducing warmer air so you can see those orange colours returning to the map, warm air coming in from the south west. Tuesday starts off fairly cloudy for many but cloud should thin and break up many but cloud should thin and break up and particularly across eastern scotland, Eastern England as well, thatis scotland, Eastern England as well, that is where you see the best of sunshine and further west cloud is thick enough to produce the old butterflied rain and more persistent for the north west of scotland but temperatures tomorrow warmer than recent days, 22 or possibly 23. The warm air holds onto wednesday but it will start to shift further south, opening the doors for some slightly cooler, fresher air to work in from the north west through the day wednesday. This band of cloud pushes south across england and wales initially and the odd shower with that but quite warm. Then the brighter but fresher air moves in further south from the north west through the day so temperatures for most of us in the mid to high teens, turning fresher later. Towards the south east corner and east anglia, holding onto highs of about 22 on wednesday. Then things will turn a bit fresher and more unsettled as we head towards the end of the working week, a few showers around northern and western parts but then have a look at the temperatures, rising again, a little late taste of summer as we head towards the weekend. Thank you indeed sarah. A bit of a change in the next few days and we will look forward to that. A three year project to reintroduce the sand lizard one of the uks rarest reptiles back into the wild has come to an end. So far, around 300 have been released into lancashires fylde sand dunes and our reporter luxmy gopal is there for us this morning to find out more. Good morning good morning, dan and welcome to this beach at Lytham St Annes and it may not seem like the craziest of places but for sand lizards, this is home, sweet home. Cosy guest. They were introduced here and about 50 f were introduced here and about 50 f were introduced here but luckily for us, a couple of stragglers who missed the boat and one of them is over here now so lets ta ke one of them is over here now so lets take a look. This is a volunteer with the local Reptile Group and he has the little fellow, ray, you found and did not leave . When i came back yesterday i looked in the box and he and another one was still in there so luckily we have some to release here so you guys can see what we do. These have been bred by myself and paul hudson, the reptile breeder on the sand lizard breeding programme, and we will let them go on the dunes. We pick where we think is right for them which will be a nice sandy bank surrounded by thick vegetation. Then we use those sandy areas to warm up in the sun and the vegetation for cove r, in the sun and the vegetation for cover, it away from predators and to find food. What do you do when you release them . Just plonk them there . Them on the bank and let them do their own thing. They have four weeks where they will get used to where they are, eat their natural food and i kind of thing because at the minute they have not had a full range of insects and things they we re range of insects and things they were neat. And they find somewhere to hibernate so by the end of september october, they will dig into the sand and go to sleep until march next year. Thank you, we will come back to you but lets speak to andrew mills is june come back to you but lets speak to andrew mills isjune ranger. You are involved in this Conservation Group so why is it so important to reintroduce them here will stop dune. The rarest reptiles in britain and we are extending the population so there is a population of sefton and this habitat is also perfect for them so a Good Opportunity to get them so a Good Opportunity to get them out in the dunes. Why did they disappear . The last records was 1960 and they were sketchy so it could have been even before then, to do with habitat fragmentation so when they were building blackpool and lytha m they were building blackpool and Lytham St Annes a lot of this habitat was destroyed so this is what we have left. Lets look this little fellow make his way into new home. Ray, lets look at you reintroducing him. Ok, very carefully put him on the open sand and show him that way. He will find some cover. It is a cool day so maybe it may take a while to move but normally he would be off. He is going he has never seen a sand dune or grass or going he has never seen a sand dune orgrass or rain going he has never seen a sand dune or grass or rain or wind or whatever so or grass or rain or wind or whatever so it is new to him. He is coping quite well then. He is flicking his tongue and tasting the air and seeing what is going on around him and he will be off shortly. So you to stay here and keep an eye on him . We will make sure he is undercover before we leave so seagulls and magpies and kestrels, he is a tasty meal for them. Oh magpies and kestrels, he is a tasty mealfor them. Oh no he is only magpies and kestrels, he is a tasty meal for them. Oh no he is only a little baby, isnt he . Only one week old. So is this what you would expect then, for him to take it quite slow . It is amazing how quickly they become naturalised. Oh, look in five minutes he will run off and doing what they should do which is running away from people and predators. They become wild animals eventually. Look, he is off already. It is fantastic, look at it one more sand lizard here, joining the population that has been reintroduced here. Do you know, it is lovely to see that live on brea kfast is lovely to see that live on Breakfast Television so thank you indeed lizards live i enjoyed that. They are gorgeous. Independent music venues across the country have been hit hard by the pandemic, with many warning they face closure without support. Last month, the government pledged more than £3 million help them stay afloat and now, a number of big names are planning shows to support grassroot gigs. Lets speak to two artists who know all about the importance of these venues, Declan Mckenna and tim wheeler from ash. Good morning to you gentlemen and thank you for being with us. Declan, to you first, i am interested to know how, how much of a has the Music Industry taken in the last few months . Hugely. It is the whole infrastructure that is under threat and you know, grassroots venues as they were were struggling at the start of the year and for example the hartford Corn Exchange which is one of my locals, the last of its kind really, we were planning to play a show there to save it prior to any covid restrictions and now that has not been able to happen to happen and fortunately they had a lot of support and have been able to stay around but that is not always the case and obviously right now there is not people coming in and out of the door every day and there is not work for the artists or the venues is not work for the artists or the venues and, yeah, you know, those venues are under venues and, yeah, you know, those venues are under threat as they are and really need all of the support they can get at the minute because it is quite dreary, really. And this time where there are not people coming in and out every day. Tim weller, can i ask you, how important are these were used to seeing the big venues but how important other Small Industries to the whole venue wheeler. Small industries to the whole venue wheeler. It is where everybody starts especially if you are outside the mainstream or, you know, far away from the mainstream, but is where everyone, you know, really get started. Without that, you would not have so many other big bands who have so many other big bands who have been produced in britain. Tell usa have been produced in britain. Tell us a bit more about the campaign to try to help these grassroot music venues. Try to help these grassroot music venues. It is called passport back to our roots and it is, if people make a £5 donation they get entered into a draw and they can choose the venue into a draw and they can choose the venue that they want to see a band at and the shows are going to happen probably next year, probably between sometime march and september. Yeah, a lot of big bands are doing it, it will be normal, not socially distanced gigs and i think every month there will be another set of groups announced and the ones coming up groups announced and the ones coming up this week i think his pet shop boys and katie townsville, passenger and Russell Watson as well. A lot of great artists coming up. Declan, it is not just great artists coming up. Declan, it is notjust you know the singers and songwriters, there are so many people involved in the industry, arent there, who are affected . Yeah, it is a day to dayjob for so many different people, all of the crew, all of those who work at venues crew, all of those who work at venues and a lot of small artists, you know . They have sort of dramatised big money industry for most people but it is a day to day job, playing shows, and just the other day i saw Lewis Capaldi playing a gig from sneaky pete three yea rs playing a gig from sneaky pete three years ago and that was to 200 people and no matter if your taste in music is the most avid and rigorous in the small axle whether it is the pop stars like the big ones, most people go through these small venues at some point or another and that is the real important thing is that the whole basic industry is affected by this. That is why it is so support that is why support is needed because it is hard for the venues defined away on their own to support themselves right now. Declan, how much are you missing the Live Performance . We have seen people being creative, internet gigs and streaming things but there is still the i would imagine the wonderful interaction with a Live Audience which you are all missing. Yeah, missing it a lot. It has been a challenging year without it and normally we would release a record and be playing constantly, co nsta ntly, and be playing constantly, constantly, having the interaction with fans and you know going to the small independent venues and playing shows does a of kick things off and we kicked off the year playing at ramsgate music hall which is a brilliant small independent venue and yeah, we have not had that which isa and yeah, we have not had that which is a shame because it really is what i love to do, you know . Everyone is missing it, declan and tim, thank you for your time and stay with us because those headlines are coming up. Good morning, welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. Our headlines today in the past hour, police in birmingham say theyve arrested a man on suspicion of murder, following a series of stabbings in the city yesterday. On the eve of crunch brexit trade talks, the government warns it will re write a deal already agreed with the eu. The families searching for answers the Public Inquiry into the Manchester Arena attack begins today. Good morning. It is today a new week and a new start for city centres . Real services returned to near normal and City Centre Businesses are hoping they are carrying commuters ready to spend. The stakes are high. I will have more. Novak djokovic has been disqualified from the us open. He is out of the competition after hitting a ball at a linejudge. Good morning. A day of mixed fortunes. Some wind and rain in the north west, drier and brighter weather in the south east. I will have more details on about ten minutes. Its monday 7th september. Our top story in the last hour, police in birmingham say a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after one person died and seven others were injured, in a number of stabbings across the city in the early hours of yesterday. The 27 year old was detained early this morning. It follows a city wide manhunt, and officers have thanked the public for their response to their appeal. Geeta pendse is at the scene of one of the stabbings. Good morning. Tell us what more you know about the man who has been arrested . Good morning. Wejust got this new information from West Midlands police in the last half an hour to say a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and on seven cou nts on suspicion of murder and on seven counts of attempted murder. We understand that the police went to an address in selly oak at 4am this morning where a 27 year old man was arrested. He is now in Police Custody and being questioned by the police. Last night, West Midlands Police Released cctv footage of a man suspected of carrying out these attacks and they said they had a really strong response from the public to that cctv footage. A new line of inquiry emerge throughout the night that led them to this address in selly oak and the address leek arrest that has been made. They say while this is a crucial development, they urge anyone who might have information to come forward and contact the police. And as we can see, investigations are still ongoing customer yes. as we can see, investigations are still ongoing customer yes. I am in irving street, one of the cloud locations in the city centre where these attacks took place. Those areas are also cordoned off. Large parts of birmingham remain open, they were open yesterday and local leaders have said they encourage people to come into the city centre if they plan to but there will be a greater Police Presence, as you would imagine, as the investigation continues. Thank you. The government is planning new legislation which could override key parts of the brexit Withdrawal Agreement made last year. Downing street insists its a standby bill, in case the trade talks with the eu fail. Labour hasjoined irish political leaders in condemning the plans. Lets speak to our political correspondent, iain watson, who joins us from westminster. Good morning to you. What impact could this have on the brexit talks tomorrow . Those talks get under way again tomorrow, as you say. I think what is happening is we are reaching a crunch time in these negotiations. What the government is hoping to emphasise to the eu as it should ta ke emphasise to the eu as it should take seriously its willingness, it threat if you like to walk away from those talks with no deal at all. Yesterday, the chief negotiator david frost said britain wouldnt blink in these negotiations. Today, the Prime Minister making it very clear he believes britain could thrive if it walks away without a trade deal when we leave the transition period at the end of this year. George eustace, the environment secretary speaking on the programme earlier, said the time in which we can get a deal is now running out. What the Prime Minister has really said today as we do need to give business certainty sometime soon and so we have to reach some kind of conclusion by the middle of october, otherwise we have to plan on the basis there will be no further negotiated outcome and we will trade with the eu in the way say australia does at the moment. We should make clear the way australia trade with the eu is without a trade deal. There are some arrangements, some agreements, a Partnership Agreement but its not a fully fledged trade deal by any means and there are still tariffs, so it costs more for goods to come into the country on that basis. On that backdrop, the government is introducing legislation this week which would also give it the option of flexibility to move away from agreements that have been reached over Northern Ireland. Government ministers are saying actually, we will stick by our commitment and there will still be some checks between some goods going between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Nonetheless, they are describing this as a fallback option in case trade deals fail. There are two interpretations of what the government and it is up to, one saying its an attempt to put pressure on the eu to get concessions and get a trade deal. The other, that the government is more or less giving up on the prospect of getting a trade deal and is trying to make arrangements for how it will behave when we leave the transition period without a deal with the European Union. Thank you for that. Im sure we will have more throughout the day on that. A Public Inquiry starts today into the Manchester Arena terror attack which killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert more than three years ago. Our correspondent dave guestjoins us now from manchester magistrates court. Good morning to you. Another difficult day for families that significant also . Yes, indeed. Over three years since the terror attack. What we do know is two people were responsible for the deaths and injuries suffered in manchester. Salman abedi and his brother who helped him plot the attack. He is now serving at least 55 years in jailfor now serving at least 55 years in jail for 22 now serving at least 55 years in jailfor 22 murders now serving at least 55 years in jail for 22 murders and now serving at least 55 years in jailfor 22 murders and the attempted murders of the other people who were injured. This inquiry will be looking at whether the Security Services could have done more to have stopped these two in their tracks. Salman abedi was on their radar and the inquiry will look to examine how was he monitored, was he monitored at all and could anything have been done to prevent what happened in may 2017 . The inquiry will also look at security at the arena that night. The response of the Emergency Services. There was some criticism at the time that some emergency workers were held back for a period of time of a second bomb. The inquiry will look at how the Emergency Services responded and how they can learn from that. When the inquiry opens at 9am, the names of the 22 who died will be read out, followed by a minutes silence and then the chairman of the inquiry will get things under way with his opening remarks. Later in the week, we will be getting ten portraits of those who died to put some Details Behind the photographs and names we have heard and to find out more from theirfamilies have heard and to find out more from their families about who these people were, what with their hopes and aspirations for the future and what their loss has meant . This inquiry will go on until the spring of next year. Thank you, dave guessed. A limited number of driving tests will be available to book from today, but learners are being warned that there will be very high demand for relatively few tests. More than 200,000 were cancelled and tens of thousands more delayed, because of the coronavirus pandemic. Candidates in scotland will also be able to book tests from today. India has overtaken brazil to become the country with the world 5 second highest number of Coronavirus Infections. It recorded more than 90,000 positive cases on monday in a new daily record, bringing the total to more than four million with over 70,000 deaths. The united states, with more than six million cases, remains the worst affected country. More than 200 people have been airlifted to safety in Central California after a fast moving wildfire threatened to cut off a campsite. Firefighters are battling 23 separate blazes across the state, where some areas are experiencing temperatures of more than 45 degrees celsius, thats113 degrees in fahrenheit. Lets take a look now at some remarkable footage, which was sent to us on twitter overnight. Go on, then. Watch carefully. It is quick, isnt it . Thats an underwater shot of an osprey catching a trout which was sent to us by andy howard. The wildlife photographer told us the shot, which was taken in Cairngorms National park, took years to plan but just days to capture. I was having a look at the osprey fa ct i was having a look at the osprey fact sheet a little earlier. They are quick. 80 miles an hour wow can snap their talents shut in 21 hundredths of a second. They can shake off water like dogs in mid air. They have a rotating outer tie which can grasp prey from the front or the back. As the trout found out and they can catch live fish. And now i look at the weather with sarah. Good morning, a day of mixed fortunes. For all of us, fairly mild, quite a lot of cloud but there will be some rain and wind across northern and north west parts of the uk in particular. Drier and brighter weather in store today if you are in the south and the south east. We already have had quite a bit of rain falling over scotland and Northern Ireland. That has been pushing into Northern England and northern wales. One or two heavy bursts. As the rain continue southwards and eastwards, it becomes quite light and patchy. Further showers this afternoon working on across western scotland, north west england and north wales. To the south and east, many places avoiding the showers and staying dry and bright. It will brighten up this afternoon in eastern scotland. Quite windy, just around 35 in scotland today. This is six oclock in the evening as we head south across the uk, quite cloudy with the odd shower across Northern Ireland, the likes of dumfries and galloway. Lancashire could catch a shower or two and some showers across western wales. Suffer southern and Eastern England, largely dry into the day with late sunshine. Through this evening and overnight, quite a lot of cloud piling eastwards. There could be a few spots of drizzle around coasts and hills in the west, perhaps a mist and fogginess first thing tomorrow morning. A mild night ahead. Temperatures generally in the mid teens, quite warm and humid and that sets us up for a mostly dry and quite humid, warm feeling day tomorrow, where temperatures could reach the low to mid 20s. Back to you both. That sounds nice, thank you from today, Train Companies in england and wales will run at almost full capactiy as the government encourages more of us to get back to work. Our transport correspondent, tom burridge, is at londons Liverpool Street station this morning, to see if the monday commute is looking busier. Good morning. Is it or not . Good morning, louise. Getting a bit busier as you would expect as the morning has gone on but it is still very quiet compared to before the pandemic. At one of the biggest stations in the country. Rail bosses have said they have a delicate balance to strike. They want more passengers back on the trains are at the same time, they dont want overcrowded carriages at certain points of the day. One of the people having to contend with that dilemma is Robert Nesbitt from the rail delivery group, representing Train Companies and network rail. The first issue, people at home might have the option to go back to work now some days of the week. They might be nervous about getting on a train. If more people travel, lots more people travel, is it safe to go by train . We would say the body of Scientific Evidence that has been gathered here and abroad is encouraging, it is safe to travel and we are saying please do travel with confidence. What were doing is boosting the number of services to increase at that level of capacity to allow more people on. But what were doing is obviously deep cleaning trains, stations as well and we are also making better Information Available to people so they know if the service will be particularly busy and we are asking passengers to do their bit as well by wearing a face mask. It feels odd talking to you wearing this face mask at the moment but it is the new normal for all of us now. If we all play our part, we can help the railway helped the british economy re cover railway helped the british economy recover and that is what we are here to talk about. You are in quite a complicated predicament at the moment, arent you, with the government bearing over you as usual . They are saying go back to to people but also they are saying to you, keep social distancing on the trains. There will come a point where the latterjust isnt possible . It is very difficult operating public transport of any shade or stripe when there is social distancing on board. But that is what we are having to live with at the moment, so that is why it is right to increase the number of services again. We are going from about 80 nationally to about 90 . For Commuter Services like here, coming in and out of london, its up to almost 95 . If we increase the numberof trains and to almost 95 . If we increase the number of trains and also in some cases increase the length of trains, we can get more people on board because that is of course what we wa nt because that is of course what we want to see. We want to welcome people back onto the Railway Network because that will also help the british economy gets back on its feet and that is what we all want to see. Ok, Robert Nesbitt from rail delivery group, thank you for coming here this morning. The other massive issueis here this morning. The other massive issue is the money. The government has been covering the losses of running a massive rail network with very few passengers. Hundreds of millions of pounds every month and if the private Train Companies are going to start operating in a sort of privatised way, as before the pandemic, again, then they do need passengers coming back. There is a financial incentive for ministers that people start catching the train again, too. Tom, thank you for that. We will be speaking to the mayor of london about the issues of transport and getting back to work and using public transport in london in a few minutes time. What is the impact, are people going back to the office . Nina is in Manchester City centre for us to have a look at that. Hello. Good morning. Thousands of businesses in city centres across the country hoping to benefit from the country hoping to benefit from the transport changes tom was talking about. Earlier i said a street cleaner was flashing earlier when i meant a street cleaning machine. By and large people have been working from home. We were told to work from home from march unless we absolutely had to go in. That changed from the beginning of august when the Prime Minister said if you can get into the office, please do so for the sake of city centre economies. How have people been responding . Still a fifth work from home. Still a lot are not leaving the house to go to work. That is reflected in public transport journeys, here in Greater Manchester alone, bus journeys are fewer than half what they were in pre covid times and trams less than that. That means that fall in towns and cities is down by a third of what it was. Massive implications for the way we spend. We have been speaking to some businesses in manchester and they are very businesses in manchester and they are very bad very, very survival depends on what happens next. My name is bob hoque. This is the bowlers sandwich bar. Its one of the oldest independent sandwich bars in manchester. Im seb heeley and were, in three little words, the home of manchester gin. We took over about 23 years ago and, as you could see, theres absolutely nothing nobodys here, you know . Seeing who comes out the other end is, to be honest, anyones guess. Today, its about 1 15. So right about now, it is 3 30 on a friday. I would have at least 20 customers in here and as you can see, there is only one customer. Wed already see people coming in, wed already see ive not seen anyone in a suit forfour months, five months. Its so bizarre because usually now, wed start filling up. By 5 30, 6 00, wed be full. The business has gone, literally. Were doing about 30 of our normal taking and i dont know how long we can sustain it for, you know . If they do not want workers back into the offices untiljanuary and were hearing a lot of offices arent planning, youll find youll come back and youll go oh, my favourite coffee shops not open. Its because no ones been there for nine months and no one can survive without any revenue for nine months. City centre is like a ghost town, absolutely ghost town. I am two quarters rent behind. The landlord wants their full rent and thats it then. And im really, really we are struggling. Traditionally, you know, a good bar and restaurant cane make can make 30 of its revenue during november, december. If you think all of the offices that have after work drinks, christmas parties, i mean, they are going to be nonexistent this year. Yeah, it is very impossible, yeah. I have never, everfelt like this in the business. As soon as the grant money finishes, we will probably have to close the doors. And thats about it. We wish those businesses all the best. We keep saying this but we cannot stress enough that autumn is crunch time for thousands of businesses especially when Government Support scheme to wrap up. What we are seeing in manchester are up. What we are seeing in manchester a re reflected in up. What we are seeing in manchester are reflected in cities generally. Something interesting is happening here. While footfall in regional cities is down the most and even more in Central London the fall is a lot less in smaller, market towns. That is reflecting the fact that over the lockdown period smaller high streets became a bit of a lifeline for lots of people and there is an implication those habits will stick. Thank you so much for your tweets about heading back to the office this morning. Jill says, our office is not big enough. We brought a third back. Another says, my season ticket on public transport should change to reflect the fact i will be working part time from home. Vince is trying to reassure people getting on the trains this morning, i have been working on trains out of waterloo all weekend. Things are back to normal and it feels safe. Always important to get your thoughts on days like this. It can bea thoughts on days like this. It can be a really anxious time, so we wish you well. I hope it is nice to see your colleagues again. Londons mayor sadiq khan says businesses in the capital need further support. He joins us now from westminster. I dont know whether you were able to see that report from manchester, we we re to see that report from manchester, we were lied at london Liverpool Street station a few moments ago as well. Lets talk about trying to encourage people to get back to the office. Should more people be trying to do that from today and onwards . think we have to be realistic and treat people as adults and be honest with them. Ninas report talked about the repeated balancing act taking place between Economic Activity for the reasons the hard working businessmen in Greater Manchester were talking about and also protecting Public Health. People are seeing across the country an increase in positive cases of this virus, an increase across the major countries in europe, france, spain, portugal, greece, but also reading in the media about the government preparing for a second wave. The key thing is to increase public confidence. One of the best way so that is for the government to get to grips with the testing, the tracking and contacting but also with the support for industries and people who need support during this difficult time. Ijust people who need support during this difficult time. I just wanted to show you this is Liverpool Street station in london this morning. Middle of the rash our client the rush hour, coming towards the end of the rush hour. How long can people survive without that . We are providing 100 of public services, public transport. We are concerned about the impact on some sectors, retail, hospitality, leisure, because they need customers to bring many and to pay staff wages, rents and so on. I have carried out a major survey of employers in london to find out realistically how many of their staff can return to act because many workplaces had to be adapted for social distancing. We need to properly plan and also understand the challenges we face and asked the government for additionalfinancial and asked the government for additional Financial Support for those sectors that need support in the short to medium term. In the next six months, before we get a vaccine for this virus, you are not going to see the same number of people going to be centres of cities for obvious reasons. There is only so much support the government can get. I know you say you are launching a survey but Business Leaders are already telling you they need that thriving economy, they need that thriving economy, they need people back in the city, people using dry cleaners and going to Sandwich Shops, all of these things reacting off each other to try and bring money back into the economy. How do you find a balance between being safe and ensuring there is no financial collapse . I speak to businesses. You berating us and shouting at us and work saying, you are threatening us and saying we will lose jobs is not are threatening us and saying we will losejobs is not the are threatening us and saying we will lose jobs is not the way to do it. We need to give people greater confidence they can return to work safely. What does harm is when they experience applying for a test, in london people had applied for a test and have been told to go to cardiff and have been told to go to cardiff and the isle of wight. That does not engender confidence. People inform the authorities they had tested positive in some of their loved ones who they had been in contact with have not been contacted by authorities. Also we know people are doing the right thing and staying home for 14 days and they are not getting Financial Support. There is a good basis for this. Why . It is cheaper and more sensible to support businesses staying afloat, to keep workers in some sectors furloughed longer than the alternative of businesses going bust and people becoming unemployed. We are looking at public transport in particular. It shows the risk of contracting covid 19 by train is about one in 11,000 journeys. That is the equivalent chance of less than 0. 01 based on an hour long train journey. Surely that is an encouragement to get back onto public transport. Transport for london have had some of the world leading enhanced cleaning taking place. Disinfectant and hand sanitiser is available across the network with people wearing face masks. They had done a greatjob in london. The issue is not so much public transport and the safety of Public Transport Committee to save the office for staff to return. Public transport, it is safe for staff to return. The amount of staff that can return it about a quarter, as that, maybe 40 . That is a reason why it is really important we give these sectors that support. A quarter, a third. We give these sectors that support. A quarter, a third. That is the mayor of london live on breakfast. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. Public Health England are warning of a spike in coronavirus cases among young people in london. It comes following a similar warning at the weekend from epidemiologist Dame Anne Johnson from University College london. Among concens is the impact of a return to colleges and universities. Public Health London told us the rise could be linked to guidelines being ignored. Young people not remembering to do some of the basics we all need to do to prevent the transmission of infection. Wearing masks, washing hands, keeping our distance. And that is really important to reinforce as we see these increases occur. One of londons largest historical cemeteries will reopen to the public today. WillesdenJewish Cemetery was closed to everyone during the pandemic opening only for funerals. But now, people can once again visit gravesides, including those of famous jewish londoners as well, and also learn about londonsjewish heritage. A woman from south london has launched a child rens magazine for boys to tackle the under representation of black children in the media. Serlina boyd launched cocoa boy to celebrate black culture having started cocoa girl earlier this year. Ms boyd says she wants young people to believe they can achieve their dreams. It has been really exciting launching cocoa boy because if you look on the newsstands, isnt really much boys magazines, children who are black do not see themselves represented in the media. And theres more on the magazine on bbc london facebook and our website. A look at the travel situation now. On the tube board theres a good service apart from a planned closure on the waterloo and city line. On the trains theres severe disruption for trains in and out of kings cross after a signalfailure. National rail are advising commuters not to travel this morning if possible. And on the roads, its busy in the vauxhall area this is at nime elms. Vauxhall bridge is closed to general traffic until december. Now the weather with kate. Good morning. It is a bright start this monday morning and it does not feel too bad out there, either. Temperatures widely in double figures, one or two spots which dropped just below. We should see the best of the sunshine as we head through the morning and you will notice there are breaks in the cloud so sunny spells throughout. It isnt until this afternoon you will notice the cloud getting a bit thicker coming in from the west. The temperature today a maximum of around 20 and if we get a bit more sunshine this afternoon, we could even see around 21. Overnight, it will stay rather cloudy, quite murky as well and we pick up milder air so it will feel sticky, humid. The minimum temperatures lower than last night and perhaps in 15 in Central London so quite uncomfortable first thing tomorrow morning. For the next couple of days, it will stay largely cloudy but temperatures getting up into the low 20s, then a cold front for thursday which brings in slightly fresher air but we should see a bit more sunshine. Msn felts has more on londons Jewish Cemetery reopening. That is about in ten minutes time. Va nessa. Hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. The Health Secretary, matt hancock, says he is concerned after the latest coronavirus figures showed a significant increase in the number of cases in the uk. Almost 3,000 cases were reported yesterday, thats a rise of 1,175 on the day before. Its the highest number reported on a single day since the 22nd of may. A further two deaths were also recorded in the uk, taking the total to 41,551. Lets dig deeper into those figures and try and get a sense of what could be behind the increase from virologist chris smith and epidemiologist, sian griffiths. Good morning to you both. Thank you so much forjoining us. Chris, what do you make of these figures and why they are increasing . Obviously it is a concern if you see something which is going in the direction that you dont want it to but the first thing we would do in any medical setting, when we see a new result like this, thats unexpected, is we repeat it or retest again. So the key thing will be to look at if this is a blip, a one if there is a sudden surge because of the way the numbers are commuted or if there shows an uplift in the trend. The data that comes out in the next seven days will be critical in making that Decision Making it clear what underpins this. Would you go along with that, do we need more information to map the trend, if you like, sian . Absolutely. A oneoff result needs to be tested. We need to understand why it has gone up and when we understand that, we can interpret it more fully. It may be there have been more tests. It may be they have been reported at the same time, all these issues need to be looked at. However, i would say in the rest of europe we have seen an uptick in the numbers of cases so it could be we are seeing the numbers of cases going up, particularly amongst young people. Matt hancock says this is not explained entirely by an increase in tests. Can i ask you as well, because it seems to me that there are more young people that seem to be testing positive, sian . Yes, it seems to be young people. We saw this trend in europe, in spain first and then france in the last couple of weeks. The rates have started to go of weeks. The rates have started to 90 up. Of weeks. The rates have started to go up, particularly among those under50 and it go up, particularly among those under 50 and it could well be that people are just not taking those precautions they need to take, wearing a mask, washing hands and keeping social distance, particularly keeping a social distance i think its something that may be something young people are not absolutely adhering to if you look around yourself as you walk down the street. Chris, is it a factor that the younger people testing positive, is that why there isa high testing positive, is that why there is a high number of cases but a low number of deaths . Its a possibility. Remember, you dont catch coronavirus and then died the next day. It takes time for a person to catch the virus, catch the virus and become ill enough to warrant investigation, perhaps admission to hospital and then sufficiently ill to get to itu and then unfortunately passed away. That time period is between 2 3 weeks. So anything happening today is a reflection on what was going on in terms of infection is about three weeks ago. So the telling time will be we look three weeks hence and see if this is translated into an uptick in mortality, lets hope it doesnt. The reassuring thing is we know a lot more about the virus now and we know that young people are at very low risk of developing any kind of severe disease or even any symptoms at all and therefore if you see an outbreak dominated by younger people, you wouldnt automatically expect that you will see the same increase in mortality that we saw backin increase in mortality that we saw back in march because we know there was a much more generalised infection across the population then, with larger proportions of the cases being among the elderly, who are at much higher risk. They appear to be taking a lot of steps to keep themselves safe now, so that is why we think that the transmission has shifted down in the age spectrum towards more younger people, because they are probably taking fewer precautions and as the World Health Organization dubbed this a few weeks ago, people are tending to drop their guard, perhaps also buoyed up by enthusiasm for easing lockdown, leading to more transmissions. Sian, we are seeing face masks being much more widely used. Are you optimistic that well have some sort of impact . Well, i think the evidence shows us that if two people are wearing face masks and our face to face and one is infected, then the disease doesnt transmit as readily as if their people were not wearing face masks. That means evidence and the World Health Organization and across europe there is a big emphasis on wearing face coverings. If you look at france, for example, there is more pressure to wear masks in school. Teachers are wearing face coverings. Also, on september the 1st, they introduced Wearing Masks in the workplace. Although that is moderated, you dont. Not everybody wears them but there is a lot more awareness that wearing a mask might be a good protective mechanism, so when we see the numbers going up, we just need to remember that we need to cover our faces when we are out in crowded places. Sian griffiths, thank you, and chris smith, thank you for your analysis. Always great to speak to people who know, an epidemiologist and a virologist. So good to have them on shall we talk about Novak Djokovic, making headlines for the wrong reasons . Yes, again. Good morning, everybody. World number one Novak Djokovic has been disqualified from the us open after hitting a ball at a linejudge. The 17 time grand slam winner has apologised for his behaviour and has promised to work on his evolution as a player and a human being. Our Sports Correspondent andy swiss has the details. This was the moment Novak Djokovics us open hopes ended in controversy. After losing a point, off camera, he hits a ball, which is then clear has struck one of the line judges who is in obvious distress. This replay shows djokovic on the right striking the ball. It wasnt, it seemed, intentional and he was immediately concerned. But hitting an official with a ball is one of tennis most serious offences. For ten minutes, djokovic pleaded his case with the authorities, arguing it wasnt deliberate, but there was to be no persuading them. Djokovic was disqualified and after shaking his opponents hand, he headed for the exit. Djokovic, remember, is the top seed and the world number one. But his hopes of another grand slam have ended in extraordinary circumstances. Andy swiss, bbc news. And since the incident, a clip has resurfaced on social media. This is djokovic speaking at the atp finals in london four years ago, where he was specifically asked if he was worried he might hit someone when he hits the ball off court. When you threw the racket, does it concern you that one day that could cost you dearly . I mean, if the ball had hit someone today . Is that something youve got to address . You guys are unbelievable laughter. Why is it unbelievable . Yeah, because youre always picking this kind of things, its incredible. You keep doing these things, thats the issue. I keep doing these things . Why dont i get suspended, then . You were close, werent you . Thats what im saying. Im close . Im still not suspended, so if im not close, im not close. If that ball had hit a spectator, it could have been serious. It could have been, sure. Or it could have snowed, it could have been snowing today but it didnt. So youre not concerned about your mindset . So, im the only player who shows his frustration on the court, right, thats what you want to say . Im the only player that is showing that . You are one of the top ranked players in the world. So . And you are showing this frustration, im asking you, do you think there is an issue for you . Its not an issue for me. Its not the first time that i did it. Next question, please. 0k, thank you. Ok, thank you. So that was four yea rs ok, thank you. So that was four years ago. And we can now speak to the bbcs tennis correspondent, russell fuller. Good morning, lovely to see. First the basic question, why was he disqualified . Lots the basic question, why was he disqualified . Lots of the basic question, why was he disqualified . Lots of people looking at the incident say it was clearly an accident, why did he have to go . Clearly not intentional, in that Novak Djokovic wasnt looking anywhere near the line judge when Novak Djokovic wasnt looking anywhere near the linejudge when he fired the loose ball away from his pocket but the grand slam rule book is very clear here and there have been precedents. Tim henman was disqualified at wimbledon in the mens doubles match in 1995 are accidentally hitting a ball girl in the ear. David nalbandian in the queens cup final also defaulted when he kicked the wooden support, the advertising hoarding around the line judges chair, it splintered and cut the linejudges shin. If judges chair, it splintered and cut the line judges shin. If you judges chair, it splintered and cut the linejudges shin. If you look at the rule book, the exact words are that he intentionally hit a ball dangerously or recklessly within the court or with negligent disregard of the consequences and as a result of that, the tournament referee, who had that long discussion with djokovic on court, had no option other than to disqualify him. In fa ct, other than to disqualify him. In fact, if he hadnt, i think there would have been more serious consequences for the sport because it would have looked like the rich and influential could get away with something that the lower ranked players couldnt. This is the latest incident in what has been a difficult year, shall we say, the djokovic . This has been a challenging year of the court. On the court, until that match yesterday, he had won all 26 matches he played, including winning an eighth Australian Open at the start of the year and a heavy favourite to win the us open as well in new york but there was the ill fated andrea tour, which went ahead without social distancing in belgrade earlier in the summer. He tested positive and so did his wife and three other players are many others as well, im sure and even though he apologised later, that was clearly illjudged and apologised later, that was clearly ill judged and didnt apologised later, that was clearly illjudged and didnt help the tennis authorities as they were preparing to return to professional tennis. I think it also perhaps in the background to this is the fact he has been the figurehead behind a new professional tennis players association, which has ruffled a few feathers in the sport. He has a lot of support from many of his peers but i wonder if the extra stress of dealing with that and the public opposition of rafael nadal and Roger Federer meant he reacted in a way he did yesterday because it wasnt a high stress situation at the time, he didnt look in any particular trouble. What is next for djokovic now . He is chasing those grand slam titles, after a record, isnt he . He is very keen to end his career as the most decorated male player in grand slam history. At the moment, he has 17 grand slam titles. Roger federer has 20, rafael nadal19 and with neither Roger Federer or rafael nadal in new york, this was a chance for djokovic to close the gap. I have no doubt he will bounce back strongly and win grand slams in future. It will be more tricky for him at Roland Garros because he will have more time to prepare for the switch to the claim will be less tired when the grand slam starts but rafael nadal is in the field there and he has won that on no fewer than 12 occasions. Fascinating, fascinating. Interesting statement from djokovic, working on his evolution as a human being, which i think is what we will try to do every day we are at that distance, djokovic and linejudge. We are at that distance, djokovic and line judge. Im we are at that distance, djokovic and linejudge. Im a very long way away from you i wont try and hit you with a tennis ball laughter thank you. A bottle of whisky might not seem like the ideal gift for a child but one fathers decision to buy a vintage bottle every yearfor his childrens birthdays has paid off. This is an amazing story. Pete robson bought a bottle of macallan for each of his three children and now his son matthew has sold his collection for £40,000 and is using the money to buy a house. Lets talk to them now. Good morning to you both. Thank you for joining good morning to you both. Thank you forjoining us pete, what a great thing to have done that how much do you think you had to spend on all of this whiskey . That is a good question. I guess it wasjust under £5,000 over the 28 years. Wow a good investment, ithink, but at what stage did you think this is a goodidea what stage did you think this is a good idea to do right back at the start . What made you think i will get my kids a whiskey bottle . Well, i work get my kids a whiskey bottle . Well, iwork in get my kids a whiskey bottle . Well, i work in the industry. We make moulds and supply and distribute to the distilleries. I wanted to do something linked to what i do and i thought well we supply macallan, they are one of our customers and if i buy they are one of our customers and if ibuya they are one of our customers and if i buy a bottle of 18 year old every year, ican i buy a bottle of 18 year old every year, i can say to them that some of my work has gone into producing that whiskey, some of the raw material. Matthew, how tempting has it been over the years to have a little tipple . It has been very tempting, but i have been under strict instructions to never, ever, ever open them, which i am quite thankful now that i listen to at which point did you realise, your dad says he spent a couple of thousand pounds, at which point did you realise this was a really good investment and where so much more, up to 40,000 . My girlfriend and myself are looking to buy a flat so this had been a nest 399 buy a flat so this had been a nest egg for us. Sol buy a flat so this had been a nest egg for us. So i went to get it valued through the whiskey brokers who is selling it at the moment and he came back with the value and i was blown away. Where have they been for all of these years . 28 bottles of them, presumably you have to store them somewhere . Yes, well, they were in the cupboard in my house we put them away so i wouldnt get tempted. Pete, how does the taste change over that period of time . Once they whiskey goes into the bottle, it stops maturing so it doesnt age any more. So it is pretty sta ble doesnt age any more. So it is pretty stable once it is in the bottle. No risk of it going off, or very little risk. Did you know, over the last 28 years whiskey collection has become more popular, has it . Yes, i think when we started 28, 38 yea rs yes, i think when we started 28, 38 years ago yes, i think when we started 28, 38 years ago 20 eight, 30 years ago, it wasnt as popular as it is today. We got a little insight partway through the collection when we moved house and all our furniture went into storage and with all the hassle of moving, we forgot to buy a bottle one year and when the following yea rs one year and when the following years release one year and when the following yea rs release came one year and when the following years release came out, bought it and eventually got our furniture and belongings back and realised we had actually missed a year and there was actually missed a year and there was a gap in the collection. To go back and look for a bottle that had only been on the market for a year, we couldnt find it anywhere. So i was ringing around a lot of the places to try and find this and eventually found some in london that was more than double the price of the current bottle and that just than double the price of the current bottle and thatjust made me think, oh, perhaps this is going to be quite valuable moving forward. Well done you because you haventjust got one child but three and you have done it for all three of them you cant have a favourite child, can you . Laughter we would never ask you that, pete. Im sure matthew is very keen on his dad at the moment. We hope you make as much money as you can, matthew and it will be amazing to fund a house property with your dads whiskey present. I love that, you cannot have a favourite child, youre quite right. Peter matthew, thank you. If he had missed a year, the value would go right down. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather.

We arejust we are just waiting forjohnny vegas. Last time we tried to do an interview with ken. Fingers crossed. He was at delivering stuff for charity, wasnt he . He was out. Many charities are fighting to survive the impact of the coronavirus after losing income from fundraising events like macmillans Coffee Morning which should have been taking place today. Are you there . I am here, hello. This is magnificent. You had been encouraging people to continue support the charity. You have been. People remember what happened to your dad eight years ago. Been. People remember what happened to your dad eight years agom been. People remember what happened to your dad eight years ago. It is macmillan. They were beyond supportive. They held us together as afamily during supportive. They held us together as a family during a particularly difficult time. They came in and just help to answer a lot of questions and helped usjust just help to answer a lot of questions and helped us just work through a process of preparation for that and how to cope with things. They came in and gave us the opportunity for some dignity in terms of what my dad was going through and what we were going through and what we were going through as a family. I know you tend to support charities that had come to support charities that had come to your area but this one is especially important to me. That have come. They have been hit so badly with covid and Coffee Mornings as well. They have lost 70 of their income. We are trying to think outside of the box. It is normally a communal thing, people coming together. Every charity is struggling. It is really weird. If i am talking too much, please put in, dan. I am going to cut in. Cat in. The Coffee Morning is what people look forward to from a physical and social point of view as well. Yes, definitely. We want to continue self distancing and do not wa nt to continue self distancing and do not want to put anyone at risk. In the ecclestone arms we did the food deliveries and organised ppe. We will be delivering afternoon teas for the day. We have arranged it with the landlord. Hopefully, people can skype, they can do something, we can skype, they can do something, we can keep this going. It is a great idea from the start a wonderful event. They just need idea from the start a wonderful event. Theyjust need to maintain it this time around because it obviously desperately need the money. You invited me to cut in, so i was doing that. What response have you been getting when you go to people . Giving them some help in what has been a difficult time for many. The food was an absolute necessity that it was taking ten minutes, 15 minutes to talk to somebody. That it was. Some were chuffed to bits, some were gutted it was not peter kay or someone like that. We all have our favourite comedians, dont we . They answer the door and go, comedians, dont we . They answer the doorand go, oh, it is comedians, dont we . They answer the door and go, oh, it is you. comedians, dont we . They answer the door and go, oh, it is you. I know some of them were delighted. When it is light, it is not paul sculthorpe. Iam sure is light, it is not paul sculthorpe. I am sure you deal with it very well. When you are trying to draw a positive out of it, it brought us together as a community. Everybody threw their hats into a ring and we did the best we could to get through it and look after each other. You will be taking round teas today. that today . What else are you up to . I will be doing that on the day. I took a day off. I am available. We are going to try and get some of the routine back from lockdown and we will deliver afternoon teas. All the money raised will go towards macmillan. What will be in the afternoon teas . It is a cream tea, beautiful. All the stuff he would not bother to bake for yourself. You sell it well. You would not bother. Have you tried baking . I tried to make a banoffee pie for the helpers. I blew up my kitchen never tried to make your own, your caramel sauce. You can bind it in by it asa sauce. You can bind it in by it as a source. I have found that out now. 25th of september is the date. Thank you so much. Is mandy know about . We were trying to get hold of her but the technology is not allowing us this morning. Oh, right. She is probably on one of the dating sites. You carry on. I rang her this morning, we did a video chat. And she said, i looked like a badly shaped ewok. Lets speak now to Daniel Fluskey from the institute of fundraising, macmillan is not the only charity that has been affected. How much of a loss across the uk . Were probably looking at a £10 billion funding gap as to what charities are expected to make this year and the impact of social distancing of the impact of lockdown and the inability to fund raise has had massive repercussions across the sector. So many events had been cancelled. The London Marathon is one example of so many. What can be done to make up for this huge loss . Charities are trying creative, new types of fundraising. Lots of digital events, still reaching out for people to support them and ask if they can continue to give at this time. You can still do some fundraising that the amount that has been lost is so significant stop behind that is a real story. It is about research into Heart Disease and cancer that has been postponed by local charities not being able to provide forfamilies by local charities not being able to provide for families and one less hospice bed that is available. Do you think fundraising generally, after what we have seen this year, will have to change quite a bit in the future . I think fundraising to a certain extent will change. We had to recognise how important charities are to society. At a time when we are to society. At a time when we a re really are to society. At a time when we are really considering the things we hold valuable and the things we hold dearand hold valuable and the things we hold dear and important to us in our lives, it is important to remember the role that charities play. We had from johnny about his experience and the dignity given by macmillan and the dignity given by macmillan and the impact of that conversation in local communities. I think it is a real opportunity to remind us of the value of charities, a real opportunity to remind people to keep fundraising in new and innovative ways. People are still generous, still wanting to give to charity that so much has been predicated on social distancing that we need to think how to reach people in new and different ways. So many people taking part in virtualfundraising. There will be a virtual London Marathon as well. Youre watching bbc breakfast. In a moment the latest News Headlines but the time is now 8. 59am.
