as the big fight ends in a controversial draw. canelo alvarez and gennady golovkin couldn't be separated on the judges‘ score cards, after 12 rounds. and stav has the weather. good morning to you. it is a chilly start this morning, but today is looking better than yesterday. fewer showers, more sunshine, and feeling a touch warmer, too. i'll have all the details for you in about 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story: police investigating the london tube bombing are continuing to question an 18—year—old man who was arrested in dover yesterday on suspicion of planting the bomb at parsons green station on friday. officers say they are still following numerous lines of enquiry, and haven't ruled out further arrests. andy moore reports. on a saturday afternoon in a london suburb, people looked out of their windows to find heavily armed counter—terror officers in their alleyways and streets. many residents were evacuated as the police operation continued. the centre of their attention was the home of an elderly couple who had fostered hundreds of youngsters over the years. in 2010, penny and ronjones were both awarded the mbe by the queen for their services to children. in an online interview, mrsjones said they had recently started fostering refugee children, including some from syria and iraq. the search in sunbury followed the arrest of an 18—year—old man at the port of dover. police said it was a significant breakthrough. at this stage, we're keeping an open mind around whether more than one person is responsible for the attack, and we are still pursuing numerous lines of enquiry, and at great pace. the device that failed to go off on the tube was made with home—made explosives and, it is believed, was packed with metalfragments. it was similar to the bomb used in the manchester arena attack. we will have to make sure that we take all steps we can to ensure that the sort of materials that this man was able to collect become more and more difficult to combine together. we will always learn from these sort of incidents. while the investigation continues, the uk terror threat remains for the time being at critical, its highest level. andy moore, bbc news. andy moore is near to the house in sunbury—on—thames. andy, what's the latest? well, overnight that people who were evacuated from their homes have been allowed back in, but the police cordons remain in place, and in fa ct, cordons remain in place, and in fact, overnight police have erected a barrier across the road. there is a barrier across the road. there is a barrier across the road. there is a barrier at this end, and a barrier at the other end. over the top of the barrier, beyond it, you may be able to see the yellow roof of a police forensics tent, and that is in the front garden of the house there have been searching, a very distinctive house, with a lilac colour. a very small house where the young man lived with his foster pa rents, young man lived with his foster parents, and we believe with another refugee. now, the police believe the man who planted the bomb lives there. questions now are, did he make the bomb, and did he make it here, in this very small house, with a very small back garden? the other crucial question, of course, is whether he acted alone, and as we saw in my report there, police are keeping an open mind on that. thank you very much. the m5 in gloucestershire remains closed in both directions following an accident yesterday in which four people were killed. a lorry crashed through the central reservation and collided with traffic coming the other way. a woman and two children remain critically ill in hospital. it just looked like, when we got out of our cars, it was clear it was standing still. it just looked like pandemonium. but loads of people helping out. loads of blues and twos came down. they were amazing, just so many. the bbc understands that the prime minister doesn't plan to sack boris johnson for writing a newspaper article on brexit. the foreign secretary set out his vision for a bold and thriving britain outside the eu, just six days before theresa may is due to deliver a major speech outlining her own proposals. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. chris, the opposition claim this shows the splits at the top of government. they are talking about boris johnson's view, theresa may's view. the opposition says that that shows they are split at the top. yes, collective responsibility, you are such a traditionalist! what happened to that? that is the essence of all of this. there has been such a conversation and such a kerfuffle about all of this in the last 2a hours, leaving people like me with a croa ky hours, leaving people like me with a croaky voice, we have been doing so much talking. it is astonishing, borisjohnson penning much talking. it is astonishing, boris johnson penning a much talking. it is astonishing, borisjohnson penning a 4000 word article for the daily telegraph yesterday, the kind of thing that normally would go through weeks and weeks of drafts and revisions, and downing street would be across every detail. i am told they only found out about this very, very late in the day, and some conservative mps are not exactly pleased. let's have are not exactly pleased. let's have a look in my note for yesterday. some say that it was desperate, it was profoundly disloyal, it is a leadership bid, it is all about boris, others, his supporters, say hurrah, thankfully there is someone able to make a positive case about the country's future outside of the european union. and they say good on him, and more power to his elbow. as for borisjohnson him, and more power to his elbow. as for boris johnson himself, him, and more power to his elbow. as for borisjohnson himself, no sign of him in front of the cameras since that article yesterday. instead, a tweet in which it says that i am looking forward to the prime minister's speech in florence on friday, all behind theresa. communication by tweet, where have we heard that one before? we will let you rest your voice. business leaders in britain and other european countries have called for the brexit talks to be speeded up. the lobby group business europe said the slow pace of the negotiations could jeopardise an orderly and constructive exit. meanwhile, more than 100 companies, with more than one million workers in the uk and eu, have signed a letter to brexit negotiators stressing the importance of making progress on a transition deal. there has been a sharp increase in the number of firefighters unable to work because of mental illness in england and wales. figures obtained by bbc radio 5 live investigates show a rise of nearly a third over the last six years. in london, fire staff taking leave because of mental health problems has doubled since 2011. the home office said it was the responsibility of fire departments to put wellbeing services in place. the government in bangladesh is planning to build a giant camp to accommodate the 400,000 rohingya muslims who have fled a military crackdown in neighbouring myanmar. the authorities also say they will impose restrictions on their movement, to stop the refugees settling in other parts of the country. a benefit concert will be held later this evening to raise money for the victims of the grenfell tower disaster. 158 families affected by the blaze have been invited to the event at cadogan hall, home of the royal philharmonic orchestra. money raised from the concert will go to two charities that have been supporting the residents. american television's most prestigious awards will be handed out at a ceremony tonight. ewan mcgregor, benedict cumberbatch and claire foy are among the british nominees for the emmys. peter bowes reports from los angeles. schmoozing before the big night, the traditional bafta party celebrates the nominations of british talent for america's top tv awards. with game of thrones not in the running this year, the race for best drama is wide open. the crown, the netflix series about the early life of the queen, is among the favourites. claire foy is tipped for best actress. the american public have always had a fascination about our monarchy. i think, as a british person, you kind of grow up thinking oh, they'vejust always been around, and that's it. but i think the american people kind of have a distance from it, and are able to view them in a different way, and i think that's probably why they've taken the show so into their hearts. what are your drives? to meet my maker. laughs. westworld, the futuristic thriller based on the michael crichton novel of the same name, has 22 nominations — more than any other drama. it makes me so proud. i knew that, from reading three pages on the first script, that it was going to be very special. and now that it's getting the attention and the notoriety, and people are actually connecting to the story, it's — it's what you hope for, and so all of this is a celebration. thandie newton and sir anthony hopkins are nominated for their performances in westworld. television has never been more popular, from prime—time dramas like westworld to satirical comedies and binge—watching on the streaming services. no wonder the stars are celebrating. other british stars in the running include benedict cumberbatch, for sherlock, and james corden for his late—night chat show. he is up against america's best—known comedians, with political satire attracting huge audiences. good luck to all the brits taking part, and tomorrow morning, of course, all the reflection from the emmys tonight. there have been five terror attacks in the uk this year, and following friday's parsons green tube attack, it is the fourth time the national terror threat level has been raised to critical since the system was made public in 2006. the home secretary says it will remain at this level, implying there is the risk of another imminent attack. let's speak now to diane abbott, the shadow home secretary, who joins us from our london newsroom. good morning, thank you forjoining us good morning, thank you forjoining us today. are you reassured by the fa ct us today. are you reassured by the fact that the threat level has been increased, and there are now more armed officers on the streets? well, i think the increased numbers of armed officers do give reassurance. but of course, tomorrow morning, millions of us will be travelling to work and children will be travelling to school, and the point is that people should be alert that they —— alert, but they should not be alarmed. that is what the terrorists wa nt to alarmed. that is what the terrorists want to do, they want to scare and disrupt our society. so we should be alert, but we should stay calm. this is the fifth attack we have had so far this year. are you worried about the frequency of them? it is the fifth attack, it is concerning, and there are issues about resources, and the sustainability of person power when it comes to responding to these attacks. the police and our security services have responded magnificently once again, but there are concerns about resources, and cuts in police, because although the government has maintained funding for security services as such, ordinary policemen and women are the frontline in getting information about these issues, and it is worrying that we have lost 20,000 police officers since 2010. so how would it be different if you were home secretary? well, first of all, we are committed to recruiting 10,000 extra police officers. we are also committed to funding our security services properly. and we need to look at programmes like prevent, and make sure they really are affective. you cannot make the british people safe on the cheap. —— make sure they really are effective. to the extent that cuts on police officers have possiblyjeopardised our ability to respond to terrorism, we would seek to make good those cuts. you are saying 10,000 more community police officers. do you really think that would make a difference? don't we need more specialists trained specifically in this area, to deal with the intelligence of this? you know, people that are looking at these issues say that community police officers, who are out in the community, building links with different communities, are part of an effective response to terrorism. as well as specialist resources. but we have seen with previous attacks, we have seen with previous attacks, we often hear that the family and friends are totally unaware that their relative, their friend, friends are totally unaware that their relative, theirfriend, has anything to do with terrorism. so if the people closest to them can't spot it, how will community police officers? we have also heard in previous attacks that people who we re previous attacks that people who were concerned about individuals, who tried to make contact with the police, for whatever reason those m essa 9 es police, for whatever reason those messages did not get through. we need a full spectrum response to terrorism, and part of the full spectrum response is obviously specialist resources, but it is also the policemen and women on the ground, engaging with communities. the government is committing more money to counter terrorism. isn't this a better use of it, spending more on specialist intelligence services? you have got to have a full spectrum response, and you have got to have people on the ground engaging with communities. we have to look at all aspect is of keeping communities safe. thank you very much for your time this morning. that is the shadow home secretary, diane abbott. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. here is a picture from a while back. it picked the scene well this morning. a chilly start. missed and fog around. most of it across the eastern side of england. dense fog around lincolnshire. take care on the roads. low pressure is across the roads. low pressure is across the eastern side of the uk and that will generate a few showers like we have seen this morning. some good spells of sunshine. a better day across western areas. we have lost the heavy rain in the south—west. showers will continue to develop in eastern parts. further west, showers will continue to develop in eastern parts. furtherwest, it should stay dry. temperatures are a bit warmer. in— 19 in places. the showers linger on across the eastern side of the country and elsewhere, it turns clear. a bit of mist and fog developing and it will turn chilly. in rural places again, low temperatures. a touch of frost. the area of high pressure, for monday, a fine day. showers in eastern areas, more widespread and that what we see today. the heavy one in east anglia and the south—east. unit is the area of rain pushing into the north—east of rain pushing into the north—east of scotla nd of rain pushing into the north—east of scotland and it is turning cloudy and cool. tuesday is looking pretty good. we are really underneath the region of high pressure. most places it should be dry, temperatures 18 degrees but rain should be moving in from the west. nights will be coming milder as well. good news, that is. on bbc one, andrew maher back to his rightful time. —— mhe andrew marr show is back at nine this morning on bbc one. what's coming up andrew? there are two big stories. the aftermath of the attack and boris johnson's intervention of brexit. the home secretary amber rudd will join me to talk about both of those stories. also, the first to butty up of the liberal democrats. sir vince cable will be with me. plus, i will be talking to benedict cumberbatch and some fantastic opera at the end. a busy hour. a bit of opera thrown infor a busy hour. a bit of opera thrown in for good measure. and benedict cumberbatch is up for an emmy. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. broadcaster and poet ian mcmillan is here to tell us what's —— a quarter of secondary schools in england aren't providing religious education lessons, despite it being a requirement to do so, that's according to new research. the data was gathered by the national association of teachers of religious education who are concerned by the lack of provision. breakfast‘s tim muffett reports. whatever the religion, whatever the customs or beliefs, at this school in east london, it will be studied in class. why are religious festivals important? religious education is a core subject here. not being religious myself, ifind it's really interesting to learn about other cultures and other people. it gives you the skill to debate, argue and really consider what other people view about something. i'm going to give you 30 seconds with the person next to you... all state schools in england, including academies and free schools, are legally obliged to provide religious education as part of a balanced curriculum. these students and young people all around the country will go into a world where they will interact, work, marry, people who may have a religious faith and the ability to understand, tolerate and respect their religious belief is a vital skill they will need for the rest of their life. there needs to be something that happens if schools aren't doing this. fiona moss is from the national association of teachers of religious education. suspecting many schools ignore re altogether, it issued a freedom of information request to the department for education. its school census data showed 26% of state secondary schools in england made no provision for re. in academies, which operate outside of local authority control, the figure rose to 34% amongst the 11—13 age group. 44% for older peoples. when it comes down to it, schools are breaking the law. they have to teach re to all of their students. if someone is not religious and their family is not religious, why should they be studying re at school? we're not teaching children to be religious. we are teaching children about religious beliefs that are in this country. you don't only teach geography to people because they are going to be world explorers. schools we've spoken to have told us that re teachers can be hard to recruit and that for many pupils and parents, the subject is not considered a priority. and many insist the legal obligation to teach re can be fulfilled in different ways. one union that represents head teachers says claims of lawbreaking are overblown. it might result from the report, trying to find a very traditional delivery model of re. i think many schools, whether they are academies of free schools, or any type of school, might actually be teaching re through different approaches. they might use conferences, citizenship lessons, assemblies. certainly as head of a church of england school, that's what we did. we were most definitely not breaking the law. the department for education said in a statement that it firmly believes in the importance of religious education and that it remains compulsory for all state—funded schools. it stressed that it is up to individual schools to determine how they deliver it. but some fear too many schools are ignoring re completely. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. broadcaster and poet ian mcmillan is here to tell us what's caught their eye. we'llspeakto him in a minute, are you all right? very well, indeed. the first story is to do with the terror attack on friday. what struck me is that phrase, the banality of evil. i love that phrase. often, you think evil will be an all —— all—encompassing, huge thing and yet, the bomb was in a builders bucket. that banal moment in an ordinary morning on a tube train when something suddenly start smoking and catches fire and people get injured. it makes you think about the tiny moments that can suddenly shift an entire day, an entire year, an entire life. i think maybe we should think about the banality of good. and maybe just started trying to be better people in small ways. to be the equivalent of the bomb in the builders bucket but ina of the bomb in the builders bucket but in a good way. what else can we do? you are making that point about the good. you often see so many people doing good. yes, you do. people often run back into the place where the thing has happened to help and you ask yourself whether you would do that. whether you would try to counteract these banal moments of evil where, banal is the wrong road —— word, simple act of good. it should be a good word that is the opposite of banal and don't know what it is. boris johnson wrote this in the telegraph. he is saying he is fully behind theresa may but other people in the conservative party are angry that he is perhaps trying to stoke his own leadership ambitions again. itjust strikes me, i often try to think of simple ways describing to myself these jockeying for position in the conservative party. it is novelty cruet set. a table with a pepperpot for boris and assault pot for theresa may ——a salt pot. i try to think about these things as novelty cruet sets and it helps you get through the day. that is the type of thing chris makin would say .— —— chris mason.|j is the type of thing chris makin would say .- -- chris mason. i have also used it for the russian revolution. lenin and stalin, novelty cru et revolution. lenin and stalin, novelty cruet sets. mcenroe, wearing a headband. it could be a good idea. it would be at excel in barnsley. nowhere else. arsenal. fever pitch. opera at the moment is having a moment. i havejust written opera at the moment is having a moment. i have just written one myself about ice cream. i will write another one about the 1918 flu epidemic, not many people know about that. you can think about the idea that. you can think about the idea that opera for shower tea, angry times is great because opera wears its heart on the sleeves. —— shouty to stop at the moment, opera is moving away for some of its misconceptions people have about it being a middle—class form that only middle—class people can have and now it can be an opera about anything. you might make an opera about novelty cru et you might make an opera about novelty cruet sets! we are really going with this comment aren't we? it is not what you would expect. an art form about arsenal. it can go anywhere. country music, you weigh your heart on your sleeve, opera, your heart on your sleeve, opera, you wear your heart on the sleeve. —— you wear. i kept singing in the defeat yesterday. until people set please, stop singing. not to pick -- no people can accuse you. harry redknapp. this is a more other sporty football story. he has left birmingham city. we were talking about harry for possible england manager not too long ago. three managers were sacked. chesterfield, port field and only about five seconds into the season and it struck me that they seem to be zero hours contracts. wouldn't it be terrible if every now and again, the news is active. you are only as good as your last sonnet. imagine if you are shown the door. another poet comes in and sits in that chair. are shown the door. another poet comes in and sits in that chainm is easy to go zero to zero. especially in the poet world. is easy to go zero to zero. especially in the poet worldlj is easy to go zero to zero. especially in the poet world. i can have sympathy here. this is about paddy mcguinness and his show take that make me alt. he is trying to ta ke that make me alt. he is trying to take it to an america that he was told no one understood his accent so it didn't work out. take me out. at all sorry to him. ——i feel sorry for him. not all english people don't like prince charles which is what americans think. there are certain things that should just have a generic accent. —— not all people talk like prince charles. i think we need the rich diversity. i need to keep myjob. we're here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning, but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one as it's time for match of the day. hello, this is breakfast, with steph mcgovern and roger johnson. coming up before 8:00am, stav will have the weather. but first, at 7:30am, a summary of this morning's main news: police investigating the london tube bombing are continuing to question an 18—year—old man, who was arrested in dover yesterday on suspicion of planting the homemade bomb at parsons green station on friday. officers say they are still pursuing numerous lines of enquiry, and haven't ruled out further arrests. at this stage we are keeping an open mind about whether more than one person is responsible for the attack, and we are continuing to explore new lines of enquiry, and at great pace. the m5 in gloucestershire remains closed in both directions, following an accident yesterday in which four people were killed. a lorry crashed through the central reservation and collided with traffic coming the other way. a woman and two children remain critically ill in hospital. borisjohnson has insisted he supports theresa may, after setting out his own vision of britain after brexit. in yesterday's daily telegraph, he wrote of a bold and thriving britain outside the eu. the article comes a week before the prime minister is due to deliver a major speech outlining her own proposals. opposition parties claim the foreign secretary's actions show splits at the top of government. the government in bangladesh is planning to build a giant camp to accommodate the 400,000 rohingya muslims who have fled a military crackdown in neighbouring myanmar. the authorities also say they will impose restrictions on their movement to stop the refugees settling in other parts of the country. there has been a sharp increase in the number of firefighters unable to work because of mental illness in england and wales. figures obtained by bbc radio 5 live investigates show a rise of nearly a third over the last six years. in london, fire staff taking leave because of mental health problems has doubled since 2011. the home office said it was the responsibility of fire departments to put wellbeing services in place. now, how about this for a lucky escape. a koala survived a ten—mile car journey in australia, clinging to the axle of a vehicle. the female crawled into the wheel arch while it was parked near the city of adelaide. i presume they have taken the tyre off to get her out. the driver was alerted to the marsupial‘s presence when he stopped and heard her cries. after a few days of resting and feeding in captivity, the animal was released back into the forest. you can see her thinking, yes, this feels normal. straight up the tree. a happy ending. which is always good to hear. speaking ofjourneys, we are going to start with football. we will come to the boxing a little bit later, but let's talk football. manchester city on top of the premier league, and their star striker, sergio aguero, is three goals away from beating the all—time scoring record at manchester city. manchester city manager pep guardiola described striker sergio aguero as a legend. he scored a hat—trick as city hit six past watford, taking them top of the premier league. elsewhere, newcastle won their third successive league game, but there was frustration for spurs at wembley. alex gulrajani rounds up the action. when you are in form, everyone wants a piece of you, and sergio aguero is more accustomed to that than most. the manchester city striker could not be stopped at vicarage road, even raising a smile from mr watford himself. by the end, city were the only team still standing, aguero with three of their six, his manager in awe. this kind of play depends on the quality the players. all the managers have good ideas, but without this quality of our players, it's impossible. newcastle also have a touch of quality right now. the newly promoted side find themselves up in fourth, after a 2—1win over stoke, rafa benitez‘s side now unbeaten in their last three. quite the opposite forjurgen klopp, burnley the latest side to rattle liverpool, scott arfield putting them ahead, before anfield got excited. lovely first touch, the second one is brilliant. the home side could have taken all three points. not a happy manager. despite the early welcomes at selhurst park, roy hodgson's start as crystal palace manager did not go to plan. danger here. it's a tap—in, and southampton are in front. davis scores. a 1—0 win for the saints, and a fifth straight defeat for palace. the criticisms will mount up. it's another game where we haven't won. and it's going to be a long, a long road, a long haul. and there will be more pain, perhaps, along the way, before we can actually start to see some light at the end of the tunnel. hodgson's old stadium is tottenham's temporary home, not that they are overly set on leaving just yet. it wasn't this goalkeeper‘s day against swansea. his side dominated, but after a goalless draw, they are still waiting for their first league win. elsewhere, huddersfield and leicester drew 1—1, while west brom and west ham played out a 0—0 draw. later today, manchester united host everton, and arsenal travel to london rivals chelsea. the draw means golovkin retains his three major middleweight titles, and remains unbeaten in 38 fights. our reporter ade adedoyin watched the contest, and joins us now live from las vegas. reaction to this fight is coming in, and people seem a little bit shocked that perhaps gennady golovkin did not get the decision from the judges. what do you think they saw that everyone else seems to have missed? yes, welcome to las vegas. you join me missed? yes, welcome to las vegas. youjoin me in missed? yes, welcome to las vegas. you join me in the bowels of the arena, the press conference was held in the arena, and it is being dismantled, siam speaking to you from the corridors. in other to the question you asked, that is something the nevada athletic commission into investigate. the executive director spoke at a news conference and he will sit down with one of thejudges, conference and he will sit down with one of the judges, who scored it to canelo alvarez, much to everybody‘s surprise, and he will ask her to ta ke surprise, and he will ask her to take him round by round how she got to that decision. a lot of writers and journalists, even some of the mexican fans i spoke to, felt that golovkin did enough to win. oscar de la hoya, the promoter, and the co— promoter, also spoke and said that they did not see it as a 118— 110 four alvarez, but they did believe he won the fight. it should have been a huge celebration for the sport, the two best pound for pound fighter is going head—to—head in a showdown, but unfortunately we are talking about questionable officiating. well, the build-up to this fight was very different to the circus like antics we saw for mcgregor and mayweather recently, one for the boxing purists, this one, apparently. do you think it might have damaged the sport's image, because people did not get the result they were expecting? well, you know, it is really u nfortu nate. well, you know, it is really unfortunate. because as i say it was a matchup between two of the best pound for pound fighters. floyd mayweather, who had been the best pound for pound fighter for a number of years, has retired. pacquiao has retired. it is notjust the middleweight titles, but that position is the best five at in the world. it is also the weekend of mexico's independence day celebration, so it should have been a moment for the sport. but it was overshadowed by poor officiating. it was a very pro— mexican crowd, at alvarez was booed in the ring as he conducted his ringside interviews afterwards. both men leave with heads held high, because it was a good contest, but no way was close being a draw. it was frustrating night for nicola adams. she was due to be on the undercard of the golovkin—alvarez fight. it would have been double olympic champion's most high—profile bout as a professional, but it was called off after a problem with her opponent's pre—fight blood test. adams put this message on social media. i'm devastated that i'm not boxing tonight, due to a problem with my opponent. thank you everyone for your support and kind messages. better news for billyjoe saunders, who successfully defended his wbo middleweight title against willie monroe jr at the copper box arena in london. he won on points, and stretches his unbeaten record to 25 fights. in the scottish premiership, celtic bounced back from their midweek thrashing by paris st—germain with a 4—0 win over ross county. they are now unbeaten domestically in 55 games. elsewhere, second—placed aberdeen remain unbeaten in the league. there were three penalties awarded in seven minutes in the game between dundee and stjohnstone. dundee ran out 3—2 winners. hearts beat hamilton 2—1. motherwell drew with hibs. harry redknapp says he could have built a birmingham city team to challenge for promotion back to the premier league, had he been given time. he was sacked yesterday. the former tottenham and portsmouth boss kept birmingham up last season, after taking charge with three games remaining. but, despite signing 14 players over the summer, the blues are currently second—bottom of the championship, and were beaten 3—1 at home by preston yesterday. not a good day for england's cricketers. their batsmen collapsed as they lost to west indies in the one—off twenty20 international. england won the toss and chose to field first, but west indies got off to a flying start. their star man chris gayle hit a quick—fire 40, as the visitors set england 177 to win. alex hales top—scored for england, with 43. but they fell short by 21 runs, all—out for 155, with three balls remaining. sebastian vettel will start today's singapore grand prix expecting to regain the lead of the formula 1 championship from britain's lewis hamilton. the ferrari driver claimed pole at the marina bay street circuit by 0.3 seconds from red bull's max verstappen. hamilton was more than half a second off the pace, and will start from fifth. rugby union's premiership match between newcastle and saracens was played in an unusual setting last night — in philadelphia, in the united states. it is only the second such game to be played in the states. saracens were also involved in the first, in newjersey last year. and it was a second win of the premiership season for them, as they ran out winners by 29—7. in the day's other game, leicester beat gloucester 24—10. jonny brownlee finished fifth in the final world series triathlon race of the season, in rotterdam. the two—time olympic medallist has won just once this year, and his season ended with a race where he had to swim without his goggles. brownlee finished sixth in the overall standings. spaniard mario mola successfully defended his men's title, while bermuda's flora duffy took her second title in the women's competition. he said his goggles were steaming up, so he took them off. just got on with it. well done. and we have louise competing today in the triathlon championships, our very own louise minchin. i think it is a great story, she took it up after riding around the velodrome. britain prides itself on its attitude of "keep calm and carry on". it was evident on friday following the parsons green terror attack. but is a stiff upper lip always the best response? for some, being caught up in a horrific event can have a lasting impact. brock chisholm is a clinical psychologist who worked with some of the victims of the 7/7 london bombings. shejoins us now. isa is a stiff upper lip... steph posed the question, is a stiff upper lip best response, or do people need help? in some ways a stiff upper lip isa help? in some ways a stiff upper lip is a good approach. carrying on as usual, not avoiding some of the reminders of traumatic events can be helpful. that said, talking about things rather than burying them and hiding them is still the better approach. so a stiff upper lip in terms of carrying on and doing the things we have always done, but not a stiff upper lip in terms of trying to suppress our emotions and not talking about things. and given all of the experience you have that and the people you have met, what are the people you have met, what are the main things which it people when they experience something like this? —— which hit people. they experience something like this? -- which hit people. it can be different things were different people. sometimes these events can remind people of other things that have happened in the past. for example, i was working with a police officer who was at the 7/7 bombings many years ago. this had brought up memories of what happened when he was down on the underground. other times, people can remember events perhaps not related to what they have seen, or of course, memories of what they have seen, what they have just experienced, and all the emotions that go along with it. who should people go to, obviously it is a small number of people who were caught up in this, but what should they do, in terms of accessing help? out they go about it? well, we need to understand that if people have post—traumatic stress disorder symptoms, these are normal in the first month following an event. so we would expect people to have nightmares, sleeplessness, low mood, being on guard, this is a normal reaction to a traumatic event. but if, after a month, things have not cleared up, people are still feeling very frightened and remembering the event as if it is happening now, then going to your gp and getting a referral through the nhs is the best way to proceed. so what kind of things do you do with them when you are trying to help? again, it is different for different people, but the good news is that the psychological interventions for people with ptsd are very good. people really do get better. we encourage people to talk about it. we challenge people's thoughts and beliefs about the event, and we normally change their behaviour. so for example, with victims of the 7/ seven bombings, which are people down and the tube and the stations where the terror attacks took place. and in terms of other people, we talked about the people who were caught up in it, a lot of people now will be feeling anxious, particularly in london, about using public transport and using the tube. as we saw, terror attacks are not necessarily confined to london. how should people react? how do they cope with the fear that many people do have? well, it is normalfor us all to feel a heightened sense of fear, because there are more attacks, in manchester, and london, and all around europe, attacks, in manchester, and london, and allaround europe, and infact all around the world, at the moment. but often avoiding these situations makes things worse, and can harm our ability to overcome them. i liked what ian mcmillan was talking about earlier, when he was discussing the banality of evil, and the banality of good. simple act of kindness, simple acts of compassion to one another, which is far, i think, from another, which is far, i think, from a stiff upper lip, is a good reaction and a good way to continue to get on with their lives. we should all be more kind and more generous towards each other in our daily lives. i think we have all done a good job around britain, so i would say well done to britain on the reaction that we have had as a nation, i am the reaction that we have had as a nation, iam pleased. the reaction that we have had as a nation, i am pleased. which is a lovely note to end it on. thank you very much for your time, i really appreciate you coming in. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. there is a chilly start out there. dense fog patches are around across the east midlands. it will last for the east midlands. it will last for the next couple of hours. we should see sunny spells developing. cloud building up across central, southern and eastern areas. a better looking day. and, northern ireland, wales and the south—west. the odd heavy shower across the east. we have lighter winds. the premier league matches, largely dry, variable cloud. the odd shower. showers begin to fizzle out for many central areas overnight. we have an onshore breeze but further west, it will be another chilly one like it was last night. towns and cities 10— 11 degrees. we could see some mist and fog developing. low pressure to the east of the uk on monday. an area of high pressure a cross of the uk on monday. an area of high pressure across the majority of the country and this will keep things fine and settled. we see more in the way of a breeze cause of the low pressure. it could even develop across central areas through the afternoon. again, across the west, the best of the dry, bright and warm weather. temperatures are around the mid— — upper teens. areas of cloud pushing into the north of scotland. tue looking like the better of the daysin tue looking like the better of the days in the week. variable cloud, sunshine and feeling quite warm. it turns more unsettled wednesday onwards. thank you! thank you! you can never thank him enough. he has an elephant on his tie, too. we'll bring you the headlines at eight, but now its time for, the travel show. the city of inverness on scotland's north—east coast is the unofficial capital of the highlands. it's been a popular tourist destination since the arrival of the railways in the mid—19th century and, despite its rather changeable weather, the city remains the gateway to exploring the country's mountainous north. the usual tourist trail begins here in inverness and visitors tick off the big attractions in the region, heading to loch ness, glencoe and even as far as the isle of skye, but now there's a different way to explore the highlands. the north coast 500, or nc 500 for short, is a driving route, promoted as scotland's answer to route 66. the 516 mile route begins in inverness and traces a route around the north coast through some of the wildest country in the uk. from dramatic mountains, to lochs, high passes and white sand beaches. it's of the most amazing landscapes and seascapes that you'll see. in fact, some people say it's around the world in 500 miles. tom campbell was the creator of the nc 500. he envisaged it as a means of bringing visitors out the parts of the highlands previously undiscovered by tourists and to bring economic benefits to struggling communities. one of the real drivers of this was to try to make the highlands and north highlands more sustainable and so create opportunities for investment. and businesses were closing and leaving. now they're staying and expanding. and it has been a success. since the nc 500 launched in 2015, locations along the route have reported a 26% increase in visitor numbers, as keen drivers arrived from across the uk, europe and the world. while i don't have the recommended five to seven days required to see the entire north coast 500, i can't resist hitting the road and seeing part of it for myself. outside inverness, the landscape quickly becomes more rugged, with craggy mountains on the horizon and valleys covered in heather and gorse. there are some great stretches of road and increasingly drivers are taking to these twists and turns with rather more sophisticated wheels than i have at the moment. hello. you must be rob and that must be your gorgeous car! when the north coast 500 launched, local farmer rob saw an opportunity and now hires out his prized sports car to tourists who want to hit the highlands in a high—performance soft top. so how did you go from farming to renting out sports cars? i mean, this seems a big transition. i'm a bit of a petrol head and i've always enjoyed driving and i always wanted to buy a small two seater sports car, so i decided to buy a porsche boxster, which is more modern, more of a driver's car, and hire it out when i'm not using it. that's how it came about. driving a convertible, you can see the scenery much better and the sights and sounds and smells of the countryside. it's just a really unique driving experience. so exciting! very nice. i'm going 60, which is the speed limit along here. but you can tell this baby's got a lot more in the tank. the route takes in sections of standard highway, as well as more secluded roads, and there are plenty of opportunities for diversions. and you don'tjust have to stick to the main route, you can take a ten minute detour, like i have, up to a beautiful viewpoint and the best part is there's no one here. small businesses like rob's sports car hire have sprung up along the route, but there's also been an uptake for long established ventures, such as the shieldaig lodge hotel in the western coastal village of gairloch. since the nc 500 we've gone on to full all the time. from the beginning of april we're full right up through to september. for locals like lisa, this has meant a whole new range of people discovering their small part of the highlands. they don't realise what a gem we've got up here and then when they drive the route and see the hidden pockets, they're absolutely delighted. a lot of them want to stay. if we didn't have the tourism, people wouldn't stay. people would leave. young families go away, people wouldn't retire up here, it would just become a very quiet and i suppose lonely old place and we need the tourism. and two hours' drive away is one of the most difficult sections of the nc 500. the bealach na ba pass, or ‘pass of the cattle', an historic drover‘s road, that's now a single paved track that winds up and over the applecross mountains. it's notorious for its steep gradients and sharp hairpin bends and i've chosen a particularly hairy time to attempt it. it's very atmospheric looking out. very misty. i know there's a big mountain there but i can barely see it. in recent years, this road has become increasingly busy, with buses and motorhomes often clogging the narrow passes. this is one of the more dangerous stretches of the nc 500. very twisty and turny. and there's every chance you can meet an oncoming camper van coming the other way, because its single lane. to add to the excitement i've got scottish weather and rain hitting us right now, so it's a bit tricky to see out the windscreen. this increased traffic has caused serious concerns for residents of applecross, the small seaside village at the end of the pass. applecross is known as a sanctuary, or was known as a sanctuary. i think there's a few people calling it other words now. this village now receives a barrage of visitors, putting pressure on its limited infrastructure. the conditions of the roads have deteriorated tremendously. the camping facilities, the accommodation facilities, the restaurant facilities are all very much under an awful lot of pressure. i could employ ten more people basically, here at the inn, with the new business that's come long. but is that a good thing? as you say, if business is good, that's a good thing? no, i did like my little pub as it was. we're a bit of a feeding factory now, we just constantly need to man the door. the local boys would like to get a corner of the bar occasionally to have a beer. but despite some discomfort among applecross locals at the swollen visitor numbers, there is a recognition that the changes brought by the nc 500 route are likely to stay. you can have 300 people in the motel and it's beautiful and that always will be, it doesn't matter how many people come here. well, that's all we've got time for on this week's show. but coming up next week: we pay a flying visit to the greek islands, and visit the first of them to run a tourist industry on the wind and sun alone. the tourist industry here on tilos is pretty sustainable anyway, but they are setting a good example. so dojoin us then if you can. and you can catch up with us on the road in real—time by signing up to our social media feeds. details are on the screen now. but from me, christa larwood, and from the rest of the travel show team, it's goodbye. hello, this is breakfast, with steph mcgovern and rogerjohnson. police investigating the london tube bombing are continuing to question an 18 year old man who was arrested in dover yesterday. officers say they are following numerous lines of inquiry — and haven't ruled out further arrests. the man was arrested list behind me ina the man was arrested list behind me in a house in surrey. it was raided by police yesterday. their investigations continue. good morning, it's sunday 17th september. also ahead: the m5 remains closed after a crash yesterday left four people dead and a mother and two children seriously injured. bangladesh is to build a huge camp for hundreds of thousands of rohinga refugees fleeing myanmar.
