A dry and pleasantly warm day across much of the uk today. One or two showers, but will they be coming your way . Ill tell you with the full forecast on breakfast. Good morning and thanks forjoining us. Its tuesday, the 16th ofjuly. Our top story figures out this morning are expected to show a significant rise in the number of deaths from drug abuse in scotland. Its thought more than 1,000 people died last year. Scotland already has the highest number of drug deaths in any european country. 0ur correspondent james shaw reports. When i think of all the drugs ive taken over the years, theres no crying left. I run out of tears. An open mic event for drug users in dundee. Sylvia fox started taking drugs at the age of dundee. Sylvia fox started taking drugs at the age 01 14. Now she only uses the heroin substitute methadone, and recognises her addiction caused a lifetime of risk taking. 0nce risk taking. Once i was found in the street, just in the middle of the road. I mustve just been walking and collapsed. And the other time i was in the house andi the other time i was in the house and i had again injected, i think it was more theme, at that stage, and i had 0d. Last year, dundee had the highest rate of drug deaths, but the problem affects all scotlands major cities. In areas like this piece of waste ground in the centre of glasgow, the chaotic nature of drug use does start to become apparent. The boss of one organisation which supports drug users is a former deputy chief co nsta ble, drug users is a former deputy chief constable, and now wants some decriminalisation. Enabling some of the things that at the moment we cannot do around drug testing, around indeed treatment centres, and the like, would be sensible, progressive measures that would enable us to have a more effective approach to drug harms than we are currently able to do under the current framework. That may be a controversial view, but demands for change are likely to become harder to ignore. James shaw, bbc news, dundee. The Scottish Government says a taskforce has been set up to see whether a change of policy is needed. The department of health says its already carrying out a comprehensive review of drug misuse as part of the uk drug strategy. The four democratic members congresswomen told by President Trump to go back where they camefrom have held a joint News Conference to hit back at his comments. The women, who are all from ethnically diverse backgrounds, said hed been racist, and was using extreme language to deflect attention from his failing policies. Heres our washington correspondent, david willis. The president of the. Facing accusations of racism and xenophobia, President Trump is not backing down. Spelling out his message in capital letters, let anyone be in any doubt, and going on to attack the democrats for closing ranks around the four women. The dems were trying to distance themselves from the four progressives, he wrote, but now they are forced to embrace them. That means they are endorsing socialism, hate of israel and the usa. Minutes later, at a joint News Conference, the congresswomen, three of whom were born in the usa, hit back. He is launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States house of representatives, all of whom are women of colour. This is the agenda of white nationalists. Something its controversial. A lot of people love it, by the way. Something. The speaker of the house of representatives, nancy pelosi, has said she will introduce a resolution condemning President Trumps remarks. But, while some republican lawmakers have been critical, the silence from senior members of the party has been deafening. The question now for more moderate republicans going into next years president ial election is what constitutes a crossing of the line. David willis, bbc news, washington. President trumps remarks have been criticised by theresa may. Last night the two candidates hoping to become the next Prime Minister were asked what they made of it all. Lets find out more from our political correspondent, Jessica Parker, whos in westminster. What did arzo and jeremy hunt say in response to all of this . This was inevitably going to come up in the head to head debate last night borisjohnson. People wanted to see if they would condemn donald trump and how far they would go, in particular people waiting for Boris Johnson and his reaction because he was lambasted by some for failing to fully back Sir Kim Darroch initially after the British Ambassador to the us fell foul of donald trump. Both was and donald trump did condemn Donald Trumps remarks. Lets have a listen to what they said. I have 3 2 chinese children, and if anyone. And their british citizens born on the nhs, and if anyone ever said go back to china, id be utterly appalled. If youre the leader of a great multicultural, multiracial society, you simply cannot use that kind of language about sending people back to where they came from. Both men were asked, where the comments by donald trump racist . Neither candidate would go quite that far. Perhaps they are conscious that far. Perhaps they are conscious that should they enter number 10 downing st, they want to forge that special relationship and they want to secure that big post brexit trade deal with america as well and they are conscious if you go quite far criticising donald trump, he might go quite far criticising you right backin go quite far criticising you right back ina go quite far criticising you right back in a very public manner. Regardless, last night was the last head to head debate between the two candidates. I say the last one, there have only been two, but were getting closer to the final result. A week today, the winner will be announced, and a week tomorrow, a new Prime Minister will enter number 10 downing st. Thanks very much. See you later. The man tasked with working out how to improve britains railways says a new, largely independent body should be created to oversee the entire network. Keith williams, the former chief executive of british airways, is due to publish his final recommendations in the autumn. His review follows criticism of the way the franchising model is run. 0ne one of the things weve heard and listened to is there needs to be real accountability in the railways. You know, someone needs to be accountable to the public for the services that they receive, and that needs to be at a national level. What we also recognise is that the role of the regions needs to be emphasised, because mainly whats been lacking in the past is Regional Input into the National System has been somewhat lacking. Food banks in the uk are expecting their busiest summer ever as they struggle to deal with ever increasing demand. The Trussell Trust, which runs a network of food banks, says demand soared by 20 last summer. Its expecting a similar increase this year when the School Holidays start. Andy moore reports. Morecambe Bay Food Bank just one of the centres that delivered 1. 6 million food parcels across the country last year. They are gearing up for their busiest time of year, the summer School Holidays, when they prepare lots of food parcels especially for children. During the school terms, the children are actually getting the school meal during the day, at school. So obviously during School Holidays, there isnt the provision for the extra meals, and that puts an extra strain on the families. Extra money needed for childcare can also put pressure on poorerfamilies during the holidays. The Trussell Trust is launching an appeal for funds and food donations. It is also calling for changes to policy. The main issue that we see, which were calling for a change with, is the five week wait that people have to endure until they get their first universal credit payments. Its big, structural measures that the government needs to address in order to put an end to this crisis. The government says families on universal credit can get advance payments from day one, so no one has to wait. It also says 95 of claimants are paid in full and on time. Andy moore, bbc news. And well be talking about that later in the programme. Send us your thoughts if youve got any on that. Facebook is introducing a new reporting tool to make it easier to identify and remove fake adverts. Its also donated £3 million to fund a service being launched by citizens advice today to help the victims of online scams. The feature came about after martin lewis, founder of the moneysavingexpert website, sued over his name and photo being used on fake facebook adverts. How do you think aboutjellyfish . Im uncomfortable with them. What about whopping big jellyfish . Yeah, very uncomfortable this is the moment divers in cornwall discovered a giant, human sized barrell jellyfish, the largest species ever found in British Coastal waters. Biologist lizzie daly, alongside her underwater cameraman dan abbott, said the creature was as big as her, but explained it was a gentle giant without much of a sting in its tail. A gentle giant. But you wouldnt wa nt to a gentle giant. But you wouldnt want to get that close to find out topic quite beautiful to watch. Mesmerising on its own. Without a human nearby. Gives me the Heebie Jeebies human nearby. Gives me the heebiejeebies you are getting sweaty what if it stings them . But it didnt, all right. Brilliant pictures as well some great pictures as well some great pictures in the papers as well, which we will get to later. Sally is here with the sport. Still in a cricketing beautiful place and i wonder if your absence yesterday could be explained by celebrating with a lot of england cricketers . No i was celebrating with a lot of england cricketers . No iwas somewhere else seven weeks ago, you laughed at me when i said england might win the world cup. I did, you were right my entire life, ive never been right at that point it looked like they would make a mess of the whole thing. I dont know where that stupid confidence came from. Normally im the ultimate pessimist the celebrations continued for englands cricketers following that brilliant world cup win. They were at downing street last night for a reception hosted by theresa may, who was at lords to see them beat new zealand on sunday. Earlier the squad was at the oval for a celebration event with fans. That was lovely. Lots of kids got a chance to see them. Englands netballers meanwhile are progressing well at their world cup. They beat jamaica in the second round, and will be guaranteed a spot in the semi finals with a win over trinidad and tobago on wednesday. It looks like steve bruce is on his way back to premier league management. Hes resigned as boss of Sheffield Wednesday, and is expected to become the new Newcastle United manager. And it was a good day for the defending Tour De France champion Geraint Thomas. Hes moved up from fifth to second in the overall rankings after ten stages. Theres been so much sport going on, its been so busy. How have we got to ten stages of the Tour De France . We are there. Sorry, what were you going to say . Im getting more excited about the netball. Thats all quietly happening. The netball is brilliant. Liverpool looks fantastic. Flags and fans everywhere. Tried to go for a meal at the weekend and couldnt get a table, great one of those situations where i know we get people writing quite a lot, but when theres so much sport around you cant fit it all in so you get lots of people why arent you covering more . Apologise to fans of the Scottish Open yesterday, some of you got in touch. Theres a line somewhere its really tricky then you lot will complain these would go mad, im not allowed to stay on for too long get off matt is tapping his watch, standing by here is matt with a look at this mornings weather. The british open golf later this week. The weather is set to change but not a bad day if youre heading out. Lots of dry weather to come once again and plenty of sunshine, particularly this afternoon but only one 01 particularly this afternoon but only one or two isolated and for a few heavy showers. Across the uk at the moment, this zone of cloud has been coming in, so not quite as sunny as it has been over the past couple of days in some Western Areas. The cloud is mainly high, so hazy sunshine but thicker cloud producing showers for the morning rush in parts of western scotla nd morning rush in parts of western scotland and maybe Northern Ireland but most completely dry. A bit more sunshine in the afternoon as the high cloud things even further. In the afternoon, a view more isolated showers in scotland and Northern Ireland, some heavy and a couple in Northern England and north wales but the vast majority are dry and warm. Temperatures 27 in the south east corner and a warmer day by and large down eastern areas compared with the last few days in. Some isolated showers this evening but they will fade away tonight and some eastern areas will be dry and clear, but in the second half of the night, cloud increasing in western scotland and Northern Ireland with the chance of rainfor Northern Ireland with the chance of rain for the morning but a muggy night with temperatures creeping up to 1115 night with temperatures creeping up to 11 15 as we start tomorrow. The same for tomorrow morning, low pressure pushing its way in. The return of more substantial rain for some in the form of occasional rain to begin within scotland and Northern Ireland but heavier and lengthier bursts developing through the day. Stronger south westerly wind. Much of southern and Eastern England will be dry with sunshine but as the wind picks up, cloud and outbreaks moving to the west with temperatures not as high as the last few days. 16 19 in Western Areas but in the south and east, a humid mid 20s for many with hazy sunshine continuing. Into thursday, we start with the overnight rain just about to clear eastern areas and then were back to sunshine for much of a loa n were back to sunshine for much of a loan and wales but frequent heavy and thundery showers on thursday for scotla nd and thundery showers on thursday for scotland and Northern Ireland. Quite a breeze as well for the start of the british open at portrush, that will make things challenging. Theres more lame come too, which will please some gardeners but as go into friday, after a bright start, this next area of low pressure will work its way in, bringing more in the way of rain, especially in parts of and wales into friday night and saturday morning in areas where we desperately need it. Before we go, lets show you what happened yesterday on the island of corsica in bustier in the north. This amazing waterspout bastia. A tornado over the water. There can be fairly severe storms in Central Europe through today. Thats an incredible picture. Stunning, isnt it . Yellow you wouldnt want to be on that very. You wouldnt, would you . On that very. You wouldnt, would you . Ferry. On that very. You wouldnt, would you . Ferry. Thanks, matt, see you later. He has started with the big picture there. A bold move, where is he going to go next . Lets take a look at todays papers. The times says the two candidates hoping to be Prime Minister, Boris Johnson and jeremy hunt, have criticised language used by President Trump when he told several congresswomen to go back where they came from. The picture is of the father of england bowlerjofra archer, who has told the paper his son helped secure the world cup despite grieving his murdered cousin, who was killed the day after the tournament began. The sun also features last nights debate between borisjohnson and jeremy hunt. The paper says the pair repeatedly backed each other on key issues, with mr hunt appearing to promise mrjohnson a job in the cabinet. The Daily Telegraph leads on a new report which has found sexism, racism and bullying are at unacceptable levels in britains armed forces. The paper also reports that thousands of English Speaking homeowners have been left confused after their smart meters randomly switched to welsh. The daily mails headline warns of a toxic threat to babies in the womb. It follows a new report by mps into chemicals used in everyday life. The paper reports that toxins found in furniture and electrical goods could be harmful to unborn babies. The picture is england captain eoin morgan meeting theresa may in downing street.

And then it is how you ever get it back, because you cant understand to be able to. |j ever get it back, because you cant understand to be able to. I have a friend who constantly changes her phone to a different language. What you have to do is get exactly the same phone, and follow it through. It is quite hard. Has your friend done it to you .

Looking back at old archives, and Buckingham Palace may not have been immediately enthusiastic about sending a message to the astronauts. Apparently they thought it might be a gimmick. Records in the National Archives suggest the idea of emphasising the International Aspect of the first man on the moon is something we have to support, so eventually the queen did send a message, but they didnt wa nt to did send a message, but they didnt want to appear churlish, they say, by refusing an invitation which is so by refusing an invitation which is so obviously well intentioned. By refusing an invitation which is so obviously wellintentioned. How times have changed, the queen tweeting the england cricket board team. 72 nations sent messages on a tiny disc carried by Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin. And we will have more on that throughout the programme, and some fancy moon graphics we will be showing as well. Bringing the moon to you. Our director is saying dont talk about it too much, because it might not work. Have a look and see what you think. Two years ago, conjoined twins safa and marwa were born in northern pakistan. They were joined at the head, a condition which occurs just once in every 2. 5 million births. Over the last year, a team of nearly 20 specialist surgeons at great 0rmond street hospital have been attempting life threatening surgery to separate them. In the first of a three part series, our medical correspondent fergus walsh has been speaking exclusively to the family. A warning this report includes scenes of surgery. Joined at the head, safa and marwa have never seen each other. This is the start of an incredible journey, aimed at giving them independence. Its october 2018, at great 0rmond street hospital. Their mum has been praying for this day for nearly two years. Safa and marwa are what is known as craniopagus twins. Their skull is one long tube. Its incredibly rare. The 21 month old girls have separate brains, but these are misshapen. One, two, and three just come up. The surgery is so complex, it will happen in three stages over several months. The twins wont be physically separate until the final operation. So the artery from safa going to supply marwas brain has been clamped. Each twin is supplying the others brain with blood. Cutting these connections is dangerous, and will take two operations to complete. The twins are from pakistan. Ideally the surgery should have been done a year earlier, when healing ability is strongest, but there were delays finding a donor to pay the medical costs. Despite the risks, the family and doctors believe it is right to go ahead. If we felt there wasnt a very, very high chance that we could do it safely, we would be thinking quite carefully about whether we should do it or not. And i think the whole team feel that theres an excellent chance of a successful separation here. A month after the first operation, the twins are back in theatre. Surgeons have to finish separating their shared blood vessels. Theres something oozing deep down there that i cant see at the moment. But marwas heart begins to fail. They fear losing her. Do you have a pulse or not . Were not stable, but we are less unstable. Good enough for me. The crisis passes. Because marwa is the weaker twin, the surgeons give her a major blood vessel, to increase her chances of survival. But it disadvantages safa. Shortly after the 20 hour operation, she has a stroke. We were very close to losing her. She stayed in that critical state for 48, 72 hours after the surgery. It was a very difficult time for the girls, their families, and the entire team looking after them. But, after a lengthy time in intensive care, both twins pulled through. The next challenge will be to separate the girls. Fergus walsh, bbc news. It is just incredible, isnt it . We will speak to the surgeons involved at 8 10am this morning, and we will also explore more of safa and marwas incredible story on tomorrows programme. You can also read the full story of their separation on the bbc news website. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im charlotte franks. Plans for a controversial new skyscraper nicknamed the tulip have been thrown out by the mayor. The tower proposed for the city of london included a viewing platform with rotating pods, and would have been the second tallest building in western europe. It was designed by the same architect behind the gherkin. Sadiq khan has said the scheme has limited public benefit. Police are investigating a series of sexual assaults in the same area in havering. Throughoutjune there were seven separate incidents reported within half a mile of harold wood station. Many of the victims were followed from there. Detectives say they want to hear from any possible witnesses. Childcare costs during School Holidays have increased by 5 in inner london since last summer, according to report out today. Working parents in the capital face a typical bill of more than £128 a week according to a survey of local authorities. It means many families need to find around £800 to cover the cost of childcare over the summer break. Three great white pelicans, have made london their new home.

Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Figure5 out this morning are expected to show a significant rise in the number of deaths from drug abuse in scotland. Scotland already has the highest number of drug deaths in any european country and politicians are describing the situation as an emergency. The department of health says it is already carrying out a review into drug misuse, and the Scottish Government says a taskforce has been set up to see whether a change of policy is needed. Four democratic congresswomen told by President Trump to go back to their countries of origin, have described his comments a5 a racist attempt to distract from his failing policies. Speaking at a News Conference last night, two of the women called for the president s impeachment. Mr trump has refused to apologise for his comments and accused them of hating america. Weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. This president doe5 this president does not know how to make the argument that americans do not deserve healthcare. He does not know how to defend his policies. So what he does is attack us personally. The man tasked with working out how to improve britains railways says a new, largely independent body should be created to oversee the entire network. Keith williams, the former chief executive of british airways, is due to publish his final recommendations in the autumn. His review follows criticism of the way the franchising model is run. One of the things weve heard and listened to is there needs to be real accountability in the railways. You know, someone needs to be accountable to the public for the services that they receive, and that needs to be at a national level. But what we also recognise is that the role of the regions needs to be emphasised, because maybe whats been lacking in the past is Regional Input into the National System has been somewhat lacking. Food banks in the uk are expecting their busie5t summer ever as they struggle to deal with ever increasing demand. The Trussell Trust, which runs a network of food bank5, says demand soa red by 20 last summer. Its expecting a similar increase this year when the School Holidays start and says much of the increase in demand comes from children who are eligible for free school meal5 during term time. Facebook is introducing a new reporting tool to make it easier to identify and remove fake adverts. Its also donated £3 million to fund a service being launched by citizens advice today to help the victims of online scams. The feature came about after martin lewis, founder of the moneysavingexpert website, sued over his name and photo being used on fake facebook adverts. If you werent watching half an hour ago, we are going to show you the big jellyfish again because its incredible picture5. This is the moment diver5 in cornwall discovered a giant, human sized barrell jellyfish, the largest 5pecie5 ever found in British Coastal waters. Biologist lizzie daly, alongside her underwater camera man dan abbott, said the creature was as big as her, but explained it was a gentle giant without much of a sting in its tail. This is good news. I mi5heard that last time, i didnt realise that, which makes me feel 5lightly last time, i didnt realise that, which makes me feel slightly better about them but i wouldnt know which ones do and which ones didnt. If i was in the water i would be in blind panic. Id be off never mind the photo5 panic. Id be off never mind the photos i cant imagine that wait until you see me near a jellyfish a p pa re ntly until you see me near a jellyfish apparently you have to wait out for the tiddlers, so sally says. Didnt you swim with a manta ray . They dont sting. I have been stung before by a jellyfish when i was a kid. Learned your lesson . I have. It doesnt sting, so im sorry i offended the barreljellyfish earlier on. Has he complained . He has tweeted. I dont think hes watching everyones watching hello to all jellyfish watching everyones watching hello to alljellyfish out there the england cricketer5 are having a very good 48 hour s england cricketer5 are having a very good 48hour s im slightly disappointed, though, they arent looking dishevelled enough fine, upstanding members of the community, sally the celebrations continued at downing street for the England Cricket Team after they won their first world cup. They attended the reception hosted by the Prime Minister. There5a may, who is a big cricket fan, also attended the lords final on sunday when england beat new zealand by the narrowe5t of margins. The last time an england cricket squad was invited to number 10, was for the ashes, something that is just around the corner im sure these players are going to be acro55 every tv screen over the next two weeks stop the ashes starts in 2. 5 weeks time as well, so weve got five te5t matches against australia to look forward to. This was always deemed the summer that could change cricket, and weve had the perfect start. Well, there has been a little bit of controversy over the way that england drew the main 50 over match in the final. Its all to do with a fluke boundary that happened when new zealand tried to run out ben stoke5. But the ball hit his bat by accident as he dived to complete a second run and went for four. The umpire5 on the day awarded 5ix runs, but the rules appear to suggest it should only have been five. But the man in charge of english cricket isnt concerned. The trophy5 and still up there stop you could argue, the last ball too bold wa5 you could argue, the last ball too bold was a full to55 on leg 5tump and if stokesy hadnt been looking for two then he would have banged it out of the ground anyway stop you we are world champions, weve got the trophy and we intend to keep it. England are one the verge of a place in the semi finals of the netball world cup. They emphatically beat jamaica in liverpool yesterday, a team ranked one place above them, so this was their first real test of the tournament. Its four wins from four for england, and they will guarantee a semi final spot if they beat trinidad and tobago on wednesday. We knew this was going to be a tough game, four games we knew this was going to be a tough game, fourgames in we knew this was going to be a tough game, four games in a row. We knew jamaica after yesterday were going to be coming for this when so we knew this was going to be one of the toughe5t games of this round. So, yeah, really pleased for the girls stop you talk about heroes on the court, and i think we have seven on the court today. And four on the bench as well but scotlands hopes of a top eight finish suffered a blow as they lost to south africa in what was their fourth game in as many days. Northern ireland are also struggling to qualify for the latter stages of the tournament after losing to malawi. The next big 5poting event to get under way is the open championship at royal portrush, that starts on thursday. Its a home tournament for rory mcilroy who broke the course record there aged just 16. No pressure then he plays his opening two rounds with the new us open champion Gary Woodland and englands paul casey. Its the first time royal portru5h has hosted the open since 1951, and the opening shot will be hit by another northern irishman, darren clarke. The Political Climate until recently. They were never going to come here in that scenario. I think from how far weve moved on from the good friday agreement when that was done, they wont going to bring a tournament this big when they had tho5e troubles going on. To see them being as brave a5 tho5e troubles going on. To see them being as brave as they have been to bring it up here has been wonderful. Defending champion geraint thoma5 had a good day on stage 10 of the Tour De France. Thoma5 had started the 218 kilometre stage from saint flour to albi in fifth, but benefitted from a late break in the peloton that caught some rider5 offguard.

Cough bold and innovative measures must be taken to address the number of deaths from drugs in scotland, according to campaigners who want politicians to do more to help save lives. The call comes ahead of officialfigures, which are expected to show the number of people in scotland, who have died from drugs, has doubled in less than a decade. We can speak now to professor roy robertson, the former chair of the Scottish National forum on drug related deaths. Thank you very much coming on and explaining a bit more about this. Cani explaining a bit more about this. Can i start with your reaction to the scale of the problem that scotla nd the scale of the problem that scotland is facing at the moment. Yes, good morning. Well, im not surprised. These figures have been well rehearsed and trailed an weve seen well rehearsed and trailed an weve seen this upward trend for a number of years and theres not been a significant change in the sector to indicate why things should be down. Im disappointed. Its always distressing to see the figures going up distressing to see the figures going up and in many ways its not surprising. Is it a particular type of drug . Whats responsible for these deaths in the main part . There isa these deaths in the main part . There is a mixed economy of drugs. Things have changed. Were used to heroin, or heroins always been the biggest problem, and heroin, opiates are still the biggest cause of death. But now we have a lot of cocaine, we have a lot of amphetamines, these new drugs, xanax, things like that, which have really entered this sector and caused a lot of problems and the figures well see today will show the figure quite highly in the causes of death stash will show they figure. Looking at the statistics will show they figure. Scotla nd will show they figure. Scotland is worst in europe terms of drug deaths. Why is there such a problem in your experience . Is it a cultural issue or is it wider than that . Scotla nd that . Scotland has always had a problem with drugs and alcohol. These figures today are going to overturn alcohol, which is a turning point. We do have difficulty. We have multiple problems, inequalities, poverty, childhood experiences, adverse childhood experiences, lots of things give rise to a large number of people and the more people using drugs, the more deaths you will get. So its been a steady increase over the years of people using a mixed economy of drugs, and therefore youre going to get casualties. When youve advised of the Scottish Government on this, what sort of things do you suggest should be done . Well, how long have you got . Weve got a whole range of advisory groups and people. The ministers get a lot of advice, and as you can imagine everyone has a cure, a quick fix or a way of sorting the problem and a view of drugs right through from the public to specialists. I think we try to stick to the evidence based. 0ur group has always stuck strictly to what we know works, what the Research Tells Us and what can inform research and what can inform our policy and practice. We have guidelines on. We have the 2017 reiteration of national guidelines, uk guidelines, which are good, which are perfectly functional but we dont use them adequately. We have services in the frontline. Im a gp andi services in the frontline. Im a gp and i think gps are important in this area of work. The gps have been disincentive eyes over the past few yea rs. Disincentive eyes over the past few years. Specialists strangely havent beenin years. Specialists strangely havent been in the discussion very much. I really dont know why ministers havent been listening to specialists. So i think theres clear advice. Theres guidelines and theres treatment. I mean, there is a range of other things going on. There progressive decriminalisation, which is clearly a good thing. A better look at drugs, more energy in the prison sector. But all these sectors are underfunded and all are struggling, quite honestly, and its going to take a lot of investment and a cultural shift in really appraising what it is and what it is we need to do. Ijust want to say, from what youre saying it sounds like youre frustrated by not being heard politicians but your agp and im sure youre seeing patients dying from these drug related issues agp. But dying from these drug related issues agp. But youve got politicians not listening to the advice you and others are giving . A gp. Not listening to the advice you and others are giving . A gp. It easy to criticise it is easy to criticise politicians, they are a soft target. I am frustrated, you are right. I always see patients who are right. I always see patients who are distressed and have Mental Health problems. People will say this is the extreme end of the sector. Theres plenty of people who are in recovery and theres plenty that just need a are in recovery and theres plenty thatjust need a nudge into employment and education. And thats true. Theres a wide variety of people using drugs. As some of the unexpected lightweight drug users die unexpectedly and tragically, the people i tend to see in practice and Specialist Services arent like that. Theyve got serious Mental Health problems and addiction that is pervasive and going to go on for probably may be a lifetime, but certainly years. This group need intensive care and we dont have that. We dont have enough admissions. Ic people on a daily basis who are really living very impoverished lives in terms of their ability to function on a daily basis, and thats related to the drug problem. Its very difficult to help. It takes a lot of specialist and a lot of intensive care. I dont think theres an easy fix, but there isa think theres an easy fix, but there is a sector, and the ones dying are clearly identifiable. And many of these are preventable deaths, but not all. Some are inevitable. Some have advanced disease. Some have other problems, multimorbidity. So its other problems, multimorbidity. So its complex. Other problems, multimorbidity. So its complex. Professor roy robertson, thank you very much your your take on that. We did ask the Scottish Government for a reply on that story and Public Health minister Gerry Fitzpatrick said its important we treat drug use as a Public Health issue, but theyve said policy on the use of controlled drugs is currently reserved to the uk government and theyve called on the uk government to use their powers through the misuse of drugs act to try to implement safe policies, they say. Here is matt with a look at this mornings weather. What a gorgeous picture that is. Good morning to you as well. A fine start today across many areas, some high cloud around. Sunshine hazy. There will be a few isolated showers around, especially later, as i will show you. At the moment, as i said, mostly high cloud you can see on the satellite imagery. Wales and the south west quite murky, and shetland as it will be through the north. Argyll and bute reducing a few showers at the moment, one or two just fringing into the south of Northern Ireland and we will see a few showers crop up across scotland and Northern Ireland, the odd heavy one. Very isolated, though, and only the isolated one across north england and the north midlands. More sunshine around this morning, and quite a warm one. Temperatures widely into the 205, peaking around 27 celsius in the south east corner. Where we get showers, a few will continue into the evening. They will then fade away through the night and it will be clear across many southern and eastern areas. The odd mist and fog patch cant be ruled out, but the breeze picks up to Northern Ireland in western scotland later. The greater chance of some rain as we go into tomorrow mornings rush hour. Temperatures as we start tomorrow around 10 15 degrees. So here is the big picture for tomorrow. Low pressure pushing back into the uk, we have not seen substantial showers like that for a while and we will see some rain develop. Wednesday it is likely across scotland and Northern Ireland, gradually turning better. Some of that rain will become heavier at times. Showers developing out towards the west of england and wales, but many eastern and southern areas will stay completely dry during daylight hours. Temperatures down a little bit for scotland and Northern Ireland compared to what we have seen of late, but still some warmth to be had across southern and eastern areas in particular, with temperatures once again into the 205. 0vernight rain for many, even if you welcome splashes of rain to ta ke if you welcome splashes of rain to take us into thursday. Clears through, sunshine and isolated showers for england and wales, some of the showers in scotland and Northern Ireland heavy and thundery. As we go into friday it looks like were all going to start to see rain before the days completely out. Most bases will start the day dry, but then this area of rain and some gusty winds will push their way in. I will have more on that in half an hour. I will have more on that in halfanhour. Thank you very much, good temperatures, but plenty of rain to watch out for, it looks like. The man tasked by the government to sort out britains Railway System says it should be independent and have greater input from city authorties. Victoria fritz is at manchester piccadilly station and can tell us what that could mean for passengers. Good morning, victoria. Hello, good morning to you. Good morning to you both. I just want to show you these boards. For once, isuppose, for passengers, it looks like pretty much all of the trains are on time. Wind the clock back a year or so and those boards were an absolute disaster, and this was happening right across the country. We were in the middle of a crisis on britains railways. Everyone was blaming eve ryo ne railways. Everyone was blaming everyone else for this whole fandango, and the government then ordered a review into the entire system. The man in charge of that, Keith Williams, is a former ba executive, the chairman ofjohn lewis, in charge of that review, he will be outlining some of his thoughts in bradford later on today but he has given the bbc a bit of an exclusive preview of his thoughts so far. Have a listen. We said back in february that franchising it in its existing format needs to change. And thatis existing format needs to change. And that is the result of a number of things, actually. It is a recognition from the tops, the operating companies themselves, that actually franchising wasnt working for them. It wasnt working for them either economically, in many cases, or giving them the flexibility to run the railway that they wanted to run. Equally, from the dft side, it wasnt giving them a railway that worked for them. So you take both sides together, both sides recognised that franchising needs to change. What were looking at, and we have still got options on table, is what we need to change it to. But i would say it needs to change to something that will work for the passenger. Well, so that is Keith Williams speaking there. He wants to put passengers very much at the heart of this business, at the heart of the future of the railways. Will he deliver . Tony myles is from modern railways magazine. We have seen modern railways magazine. We have seen review after review after review after privatisation. Is this one going to be any different or will it be on the shelf with the rest of them . The nervousness is the government will find it too difficult and it will leave everything on the shelf to the left and slide the williams review in at the end. The challenge for the government is to be bold enough to acce pt government is to be bold enough to accept the things that Keith Williams is going to recommend and to implement them. And some of them might be difficult for the government to accept, like having less control directly of the railways. What do you make of all this . Do you think the Railway System should benefit from greater independence from government . That is the central promise from this review. One of the things they say is that the government is more controlling of the railway than when it was nationalised and british railwayjust got involved in just got on with the rail. Freeing up that control and allowing the companies in the industry to do the best things will be a good thing, yes. Trust appears to be an alltime low. Do you think this review will be able to win back the hearts and of passengers . That is a big challenge, and it is a challenge for ministers to step back a bit. The problem with the timetable last year when everything went wrong as they promised lots of extra seats and extra trains but no infrastructure to manage the trains. So again, it is giving the passengers trust will mean investing in the infrastructure and the whole systemwide railways, notjust promising a few and the whole systemwide railways, not just promising a few extra seats. And there are so Many Companies involved, five companies on the board behind us running trains. If the contracts are to be changed, fare structure changes, or anything like that, then all of the 20 contracts will have to be changed on the same day that they all still fall in line. And that is a huge challenge, but if it can be done, passengers might start to trust the railways a little bit more. So that is the major challenge, isnt it . Keith williams is doing this review. He will be reporting back to the government in september of this year. The big question is whether he will also be delivering for customers. Thank you, victoria, and let us know what you think about that this morning. The usual ways of getting in contact with the programme. And that is quite a graphic for you. Thats no moon. Remember that . Know, whats that from . That is obiwan kenobi. I have a slightly more famous phrase for you. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind the immortal words of Neil Armstrong as he took his first steps on the moon, 50 years ago this week. On 16 july 1969, nasa launched apollo 11, inspiring millions of people who watched the mission unfold on television. Brea kfasts tim muffett is at the National Space centre in leicester. Good morning, tim. Good morning to you. We are at the planetarium section, and look at this amazing visualisation of that day 50 years ago, 16july 1969. Visualisation of that day 50 years ago, 16 july 1969. Apollo 11 visualisation of that day 50 years ago, 16july1969. Apollo 11 taking off on its Historic Mission to the moon. And obviously a lot of celebrations going to be taking place here over the next few days. A lot of thinking back and looking at the effect it had, notjust on those who went there, but on humanity in general. I am joined who went there, but on humanity in general. Iamjoined by who went there, but on humanity in general. I am joined by the Space Communications manager from the National Space centre. What impact did it have . Apollo was this crowning moment in human exploration. While it was the us who sort of mobilise the scientists and engineers, it was very much a global moment where the whole world just seemed to pause and witnessed this moment where we pushed the boundaries further than ever, and watched humans walking on the surface of another world. And everyone remembers where they were, if they were alive at that time. They have the stories, and at the National Space centre we have just been inundated with peoples memories of how they were inspired to then take up a career in science orengineering, to then take up a career in science or engineering, they work in the uk space agency, and i think that effect, that legacy alone, is completely measurable. 50 years ago today the rocker took off, and on saturday is when the actual lending itself will be commemorated. What are you going to be doing here . We are you going to be doing here . We are so excited to be salivating this moment. We are giving people a chance to go back to the 19605 and relive it, moment by moment. So if people in the uk remember watching, it was late at night, 9pm when they landed on the moon, about 4am when they actually stepped on the mood for the first time. We are celebrating with a whole set of activities for the evening and sleepover in the gallery as well to give people the chance to witness it for the first time if they didnt live it, or to relive it if they we re live it, or to relive it if they were around 50 years ago. Later this morning we will speak to other people with memories and connections to those historic landings. We will talk about that a little later. For the time being, we will catch up on the time being, we will catch up on the news, weather and travel where you are and some beautiful images of the moon itself. Good morning from bbc london, im charlotte franks. Plans for a controversial new skyscraper nicknamed the tulip have been thrown out by the mayor. The tower proposed for the city of london included a viewing platform with rotating pods, and would have been the second tallest building in western europe. It was designed by the same architect behind the gherkin. Sadiq khan has said the scheme has limited public benefit. Police are investigating a series of sexual assaults in the same area in havering. Throughoutjune, there were seven separate incidents reported within half a mile of harold wood station. Many of the victims were followed from there. Detectives say they want to hear from any possible witnesses. Childcare costs during School Holidays have increased by 5 in inner london since last summer, according to a report out today. A survey of local authorities says working parents in the capital face a typical bill of more than £128 a week. It means many families need to find around £800 to cover the cost of childcare over the summer break. Three great white pelicans, have made london their new home. Named sun, moon and star, the trio have come to St Jamess Park from prague zoo. Pelicans have been a feature on the lake since 1664. The flock is fed every afternoon by a wildlife officer from the royal parks. The historical significance of having pelicans in stjamess park theyve been here since the 16605. They were a gift to charles ii. This is a tradition that we feel is really valuable to the park. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on all tube lines this morning. 0nto the roads, and there are the usual queues building on the blackwall tunnel southern approach. And in east dulwich, there are temporary traffic lights at underhill road at the junction with hindmans road. Now lets get a check on the weather, with kate kin5ella. Good morning. Its a lovely, bright start out there this morning. There is perhaps a little bit of high cloud, meaning the sunshine is a bit hazy. But that will clear, and weve got a day of lovely, warm sunshine. Blue sky, really, maybe a little bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up as we head through the afternoon, but nothing to get in the way of the sunshine, and temperatures getting up to a warm 26, maybe even 27 celsius in Central London. A lovely evening, as well, before the sun sets, and it stays dry and clear overnight. Minimum temperature in Central London probably not dropping much below 15 celsius, but it will be a little bit cooler out towards the suburbs. So another bright start for wednesday. Well see a bit more cloud tomorrow, perhaps, but some lovely, warm sunny spells. Temperatures getting up to around 25 celsius. And then for thursday, weve got a weather front sweeping through, so well see some rain first thing in the morning, but it will clear to a drier and brighter afternoon. However, the temperatures do drop a little as we head towards the end of the week. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Now, though, its back to dan and steph. Bye for now. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and Steph Mcgovern. 0ur headlines today scotlands growing drugs crisis. New figures expect to show more than 1,000 people died as a result last year. Politicians describe it as an emergency fighting back. The four democratic congresswomen attacked by President Trump dismiss his comments as a racist distraction. Weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. And facebook takes aim at fake adverts with a new tool to report scammers. The man in charge of sorting out britains Railway System said it should be independent of government, and should receive more input from city authorities. Ill be finding out what it means for passengers. The celebrations continue for englands cricketers with a trip to downing street following their world cup win. It will be another day of warmth and pleasa nt it will be another day of warmth and pleasant sunshine overhead, but one or two showers here and there. Will they be coming your way . Join me for they be coming your way . Join me for the full forecast on breakfast. Good morning thanks forjoining us. Good morning thanks forjoining us. Its tuesday the 16th ofjuly. Our top story figures out this morning are expected to show a significant rise in the number of deaths from drug abuse in scotland. Scotland already has the highest number of drug deaths in any european country and politicians are describing the situation as an emergency. The Scottish Government says a taskforce has been set up to look in to the situation. 0ur correspondent james shaw reports. When i think of all the drugs ive taken over the years, theres no crying left. I run out of tears. An open mic event for drug users in dundee. Sylvia fox started taking drugs at the age of 14. Now she only uses the heroin substitute methadone, and recognises that her addiction caused a lifetime of risk taking. Once i was found in the street, just in the middle of the road. I mustve just been walking and collapsed. And the other time i was in the house and i had again injected, i think it was morphine at that stage, and i had 0dd. Last year, dundee had the highest rate of drug deaths, but the problem affects all scotlands major cities. In areas like this piece of waste ground in the centre of glasgow, the chaotic nature of drug use does start to become apparent. The boss of one organisation which supports drug users is a former deputy chief constable, and now wants some decriminalisation. Enabling some of the things that at the moment we cannot do around drug testing, around indeed treatment centres, and the like, would be sensible, progressive measures that would enable us to have a more effective approach to drug harms than we are currently able to do under the current framework. That may be a controversial view, but demands for change are likely to become harder to ignore. James shaw, bbc news, dundee. The four democratic congresswomen told by President Trump to go back where they came from have held a joint News Conference to hit back at his comments. The women, who are all from ethnically diverse backgrounds, said hed been racist, and was using extreme language to deflect attention from what they call his failing policies. Heres our washington correspondent, david willis. The president of the. Facing accusations of racism and xenophobia, President Trump is not backing down. Spelling out his message in capital letters, let anyone be in any doubt, and going on to attack the democrats for closing ranks around the four women. The dems were trying to distance themselves from the four progressives, he wrote, but now they are forced to embrace them. That means they are endorsing socialism, hate of israel and the usa. Minutes later, at a joint News Conference, the congresswomen, three of whom were born in the usa, hit back. Hes launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States house of representatives, all of whom are women of colour. This is the agenda of white nationalists. Some people think its controversial. A lot of people love it, by the way. Downing street has called the president s language completely unacceptable. But while some republican lawmakers has been but, while some republican lawmakers have been critical, the silence from senior members of the party has been deafening. The question now for more moderate republicans going into next years president ial election is what constitutes a crossing of the line. David willis, bbc news, washington. President trumps remarks have been criticised by theresa may. Last night, the two candidates hoping to become the next Prime Minister were asked what they made of it all. Lets find out more from our political correspondent, Jessica Parker whos in westminster. Again, in the buildup to this head to head, this was one of those questions that had to be asked. What did they say . You are right. Good morning. Inevitable they would be asked about this with lots of people waiting to hear weather the two candidates would criticise donald trump and indeed how far they would go. People particularly interested to hear what borisjohnson would say. Boris johnson to hear what borisjohnson would say. Borisjohnson of course was criticised after he failed to give the British Ambassador to the us, Sir Kim Darroch, who fell foul of donald trump, his full backing but as it happened, both contenders condemned the remarks by donald trump. Lets have a list and. Lets have a listen. I have three half chinese children, and if anyone. And theyre british citizens born on the nhs, and if anyone ever said go back to china, id be utterly appalled. If youre the leader of a great multicultural, multiracial society, you simply cannot use that kind of language about sending people back to where they came from. Now, both men were asked if the remarks by donald trump were racist and neither would go quite that far. Some will see that response as we. 0thers some will see that response as we. Others will speculate may be both men are conscious of the fact they will want to forge the special relationship and do some big post brexit trade deal with the us and perhaps they will be conscious if you go heavy to criticise donald trump, he might return tenfold in a pretty public manner. Now, last night was the last head to head debate between the two candidates. I say last because theres only been two. Now we are at the tail end of the tory leadership race. A week today we find out the result. A week tomorrow we get a new Prime Minister. Its all happening. Thanks very much for that. Speak to you later on. The man tasked with working out how to improve britains railways says a new, largely independent body should be created to oversee the entire network. Keith williams, the former chief executive of british airways, is due to publish his final recommendations in the autumn. His review follows criticism of the way the franchising model is run. One of the things weve heard and listened to is that there needs to be real accountability in the railways. You know, someone needs to be accountable to the public for the services that they receive, and that needs to be at a national level. But what we also recognise is that the role of the regions needs to be emphasised, because maybe whats been lacking in the past is Regional Input into the National System has been somewhat lacking. The ministry of defence has put forward a series of measures to tackle inappropriate behaviour after a report highlighted what it called unacceptable levels of bullying, discrimination and harassment in the armed forces. The inquiry also found repeated suggestions that those in the military were not reporting inappropriate behaviour, because they were concerned about the consequences. Among the measures proposed by the mod are the setting up of a Defence Authority to investigate allegations, and diversity training for military personnel. Now, if youve been celebrating englands success in the cricket world cup, then spare a thought for the kiwis, who have lost out on another accolade this week. This is quite the accolade in. This is the big one this is quite the accolade. A road in wales has stolen the title of the worlds steepest street from previous record holders in the new zealand city of dunedin. I think it is called baldwin street. Guiness World Records announced the winner as ffordd pen llech in the resort of harlech. I dont get how one street can suddenly become steeper. Its not just become steeper, but ive done some research into this. The mayor of dunedin is unhappy because theyve had the steepest one for a while and he has said ours is 35 , thats fine, but the residents in the town in wales have said ours is steeper and its been steeperfor longer and theres is 36 . Theres various things you have to have to qualify and they have the lot. Now theres a war of words but the guinness book of records officially said it is the welsh one. Im not going to go on about this, but if the welsh street was steeper why didnt they get it first time around . You need a certain number of houses and it needs to be over ten metres. Apparently, guinness wanted a blueprint for how they would do it and they now have that and they have applied it and they are steeper than the one in dunedin. This is serious stuff, isnt it . We have gone on about this for too long well done to the street in wales you want to have a go at pronouncing it . You did it so beautifully, i wouldnt want to ruin your moment the term holiday hunger might sound out of place in modern britain, but for many families its a real and growing threat. Foodbank charity the Trussell Trust says last summer there was an increase of almost 20 in the number of emergency meal parcels distributed to children. Annette smith is the founder and manager of one such food bank in Morecambe Bay attempting to meet that need. 0ur normalfood 0ur normal food parcels contain cereal, beans, tomatoes, fruit, vegetables, rice putting, tinned tomatoes, mashed potato. But during the School Holidays, we want to add Fresh Produce. So thats fresh bread, cheese, milk and vegetables, because we cant store them. We need to be able to buy them fresh on the day, which is why weve got the campaign trying to raise muggy so we can add those additional items. 0n can add those additional items. On average, we distribute about 35 food parcels per day. So during the School Holidays last year, during that six week period we distributed 382 food parcels during that six week period. That was Annette Smith showing us around the morecambe Bay Food Bank. Shejoins us now. Thank you so much for coming in. Good morning. Given everything we have been saying, you are so busy at the moment . We are too busy but we would rather not be. Tell us a bit about what that involves day today. We saw a bit of you putting together those parcels, but who is coming through the door and whats it like . We are open two full day days a week but we can only give out the food parcels in an afternoon, it takes that long to prepare them. We are seeing over 30 people each time, each session, and itsjust seeing over 30 people each time, each session, and its just too many, you know . Its a lot to cope with. Its a lot for our listeners to have to listen to the harrowing stories each and every afternoon. Weve been looking at these figures from the Trussell Trust talking about the issue of holiday hunger, and that chimes with what youre saying . All of our day feeds up to Trussell Trust. But its difficult because the numbers are increasing and each year we are shocked by the rise our day. We think it will get to the point where it studies off, but its just increasing, which is alarming for us and volunteers. Steadys. Is alarming for us and volunteers. Steadys. Have you seen things changing since 2012 . We know the demand is going up but are the type of people using it changing . Yes, the type of people using it are significantly changing because we are getting more and more families. At the beginning we were getting a lot of singles, we do get a lot of single men coming through, then it was a lot of single families but now families and working families are all coming through and larger families have it tough at this time of year financially. Does it tend to be, annette, that a lot of the children qualifying for Free School Meals dont have access to that food in the Summer Holidays . Is that part of the dry behind it . Its one of the drivers through the summer, they dont have the meals through the day for five of the days of the week and that puts additional strain on families at home. When that happens, the stress levels rise and the arguments rise and the kids fighting rises and the tension is so high. Its just not a good situation to be in. Do you think the problem is money . Is it that fact they dont have enough money, or is it about other things . Being able to get the right food they need, knowing how to cook properly . Is there more to it than just cook properly . Is there more to it thanjust money . Cook properly . Is there more to it than just money . Theres a lot more to it than just money. It isnt cooking, they can probably cook more ona cooking, they can probably cook more on a budget than anyone else can. Their very, very good with budgets because theyve got very limited incomes and they know exactly how much for it to share. But its pressures like School Holidays. When they go back to school in september, what have you done in the summer . The schools are asking and the friends are asking and they havent done anything and they havent been up done anything and they havent been up to anything. Thats hard for the families, because they cant do anything with them. But there are gaps. For example, i had one family expecting their money on the monday and at the weekend they saved enough to go to the promenade for ice creams, a few treats and a meal out and on monday the money didnt turn up and on monday the money didnt turn upfor and on monday the money didnt turn up for whatever reason and they were so up for whatever reason and they were so embarrassed at coming into the food bank because its the last place they expected to be. They felt ashamed, they thought they had budgeted adequately but it didnt work out for them and it was the last place they wanted to be. Hasnt the increase in need been met by the increase in donations . I know have made it easily by donating by texts . This summer we are doing a text, holiday hunger five. The this summer we are doing a text, holiday hungerfive. The reason this summer we are doing a text, holiday hunger five. The reason for thatis holiday hunger five. The reason for that is we want to ensure we get Fresh Produce in ourfood parcels forfamilies over the Fresh Produce in ourfood parcels for families over the next five weeks. It is funny you say about people being embarrassed, because i imagine there are people who need the service and dont come in, because there is a pride element. There is, and what we want to do is make sure we raise awareness that it is open to anyone that can come, that we are not there to embarrassed people. We have staff in front of house to try and make sure that they get a welcome when they come in, before they actually receive their food parcels, and we try to make the journey and the explanation of what is going to happen to them, because thatis is going to happen to them, because that is what they feel, that something is happening to them. It is out of their control, and we try and give them as much control as they can when they come into the food bank. Thank you for coming in, and good luck with the next few months. Very nice to meet you, as well. Thanks for doing such a great job. Shall we find out what is happening with the weather . Good morning, matt. How are you . Im all right, thank you. Not a bad start to your tuesday. Lovely sunrise, just on the outskirts of doncaster, you will notice a bit of high cloud around, sunshine a bit hazy for one or two, around, sunshine a bit hazy for one ortwo, a around, sunshine a bit hazy for one or two, a bit more cloud compared to yesterday producing the odd isolated shower but for the vast majority it is another dry day. Here is the picture from space, the cloud pushing in from the atlantic, hazy cloud but a murky day to come for shetland. A bit grey in one or two Western Areas and a few showers across southwest scotland at the moment. Northern ireland as well, and we will see one or more crop up through the day. Isolated ones for Northern England, Northern Ireland and the midlands. The vast majority avoiding those showers, a warmer day across eastern parts of the country, the wind starting to switch around toa the wind starting to switch around to a more south westerly direction and we could see highs of 27 degrees. Most places across the uk above 20 celsius, the exception being the far north of scotland. 0ne or two isolated showers into the evening. With clear skies around you may get to see the partial Lunar Eclipse tonight, that takes place late evening to take us into midnight. Cloud increasing across western scotland and Northern Ireland, with outbreaks of rain pushing into western fringes by don. Not a cold night, temperatures in the teens for the vast majority. We go into wednesday with most places starting reasonably dry. An area of low pressure starting to spin its way in on wednesday, set to bring a bit of a change. Scotland and Northern Ireland will notice it more than anyone else. Even if you start dry and bright, cloud will increase. The outbreaks of rain will become more widespread through the day but the heaviest and most persistent rain will be on the west of scotland and Northern Ireland later in the day. Temperatures around the mid to high teens. A few showers across other parts of western wales and western fringes of england later. Further east, you will stay dry, sunny and fairly humid, with temperatures still into the mid 205 for some of you. Some rain overnight across many areas, even if you welcome splashes of rain in the south. No guaranteed link for the gardens this time around, because it will turn drier and brighter with lots of sunshine. A few showers across england and wales but scotla nd across england and wales but scotland and Northern Ireland will see the bulk of the showers on thursday, some of those heavy and hungry. A slightly fresher feel with temperatures in the mid to high teens if not low 205. But a greater chance of some gardens across the south at least getting some rain as we go into the end of the week. Friday will start dry and bright that we will start to see wet and windy weather moving, especially in the second half of the day, through friday night and into saturday morning as well. A bit of a mixed weekend for some. Let me quickly ta ke weekend for some. Let me quickly take you back to yesterday in and around the mediterranean and corsica. This is a stunning imagery ca ptu red corsica. This is a stunning imagery captured by someone out there of a waterspout just off the waters captured by someone out there of a waterspoutjust off the waters of bastia, and the storms producing 126 millimetres of rain in one hour, the equivalent of two months worth of rainfall here in the space of an hour. Just an hour, incredible. And i would not want to be on that boat trying to get away from that. Unless they had just opened the buff a. Well, thats different, isnt it . Hgppy well, thats different, isnt it . Happy hour batten down the hatches and go for all you can eat. A new trend has appeared on social media where you find out what you might look like in your more advanced years. It is called the age challenge. Tottenham hotspur have been having some fun with it. So this is harry kane. He reminds me ofan so this is harry kane. He reminds me of an actor. Sean connery . No. 80 year old dele alli. Slightly more wrinkly, not that different. I am not sure he will be wearing that t shirt at 80 years old. He still looks quite good. He looks more like a referee now, doesnt he, son heung min. A referee now, doesnt he, son heungmin. And our producer has tried to do this. I think you look cracking, i really do. And any golf fa ns cracking, i really do. And any golf fans around, jack nicklaus, anyone . Lets see what you look like. Here is 80 year old steph. Lets see what you look like. Here is 80 year old stephlj lets see what you look like. Here is 80yearold steph. I am happy with that. That is because it is not that different. There is no way i am going to look like that. You have one extra wrinkle, you look great. And you look good now as well. To be honest, there is absolutely no way i am going to look like that, my face will be sliding down by the time i get to 80. And you might have changed your hair by then, as well. Not that there is anything wrong with your hair. Just because yours is showing a little bit of hair loss. I didnt mean that as an insult i am just going to stop digging. Do have a go, you can see what you will look like at 80. You may remember a few months ago we told you about fake adverts for diet pills being shared on facebook which used our very own carols name and image. Well, from today, victims of online scams will be able to access help and support through a new service being launched by citizens advice. Facebook is also introducing a new reporting tool to make it easier to identify and remove fake adverts. Brea kfasts Graham Satchell can explain. Should we have a quick look . Sharon is just should we have a quick look . Sharon isjust one victim should we have a quick look . Sharon is just one victim of a massive and growing fried. She saw a post on facebook fronted by the bbcs Carol Kirkwood advertising a new way to lose weight. I wouldnt normally have bought diet pills of the internet, but because it was near carol, why would i not believe her . Yes, you trust her. Yes. Sharon says she is embarrassed to have fallen for the scam, but she is also angry with facebook. Its false advertising, and i feel with facebook. Its false advertising, and ifeel much like with a newspaper they would have a say in whether your advert was ok to be posted, and ijust feel that facebook should take that into account and do the same. This is utter garbage. We first reported the fa ke utter garbage. We first reported the fake ad featuring carol last month. I think facebook need to take more responsibility for items and adverts that are appearing on their platform. If people are allowed to put any old trash out, it has got to be monitored somewhere along the line. So what is being done . Today facebook are launching a new reporting tool. If you think and ad isa scam, reporting tool. If you think and ad is a scam, you can press the icon. A dedicated team at facebook will investigate the ad and take it down. 0ur investigate the ad and take it down. Our responsibility as a platform is to ensure that we are doing our very, very best to enforce the removal and the reduction and the eradication of this scam activity. You say you are doing your best to ta ke you say you are doing your best to take them down, they are still there. They are there every single day, people are being defrauded, people are losing money, peoples lives are being ruined every single day. And in the end, it is your responsibility. We will never give up responsibility. We will never give up everything that there are more things we can do, and the reason we can never give up things we can do, and the reason we can never give up is that these fraudsters and criminals, they dont quit either. As well as the new reporting tool, facebook avenue giving £3 million to citizens advice for a new online scam service. They are doing it because they were sued for defamation earlier this year by martin lewis. His face has been used on thousands of get rich quick scams. Martin has welcomed todays news, but says in the end social media giants will have to be regulated not as platforms but as publishers. Until we have regulated not as platforms but as publishers. Untilwe have government taking responsibility and starting to point the finger and give real laws on the social Media Company and the Online Advertising giants, well, then we are still unprotected, and it shouldnt have taken me to sue facebook to get the actions we are having today. Someone in power in politics should have been doing this far before that. The government is looking at the regulation of social media sites, but despite todays changes, they will be many more like sharon who will lose money because the scale of online fraud is enormous. Facebook told us they removed 1. 8 billion pieces of scam content globally in the first three months of this year. It will be interesting to see what impact that has. And carol was understandably miffed at the time, and you do see a bit of that on facebook. And you assume they have agreed to it. Gary lineker has been subject to a bit of it as well. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im charlotte franks. Plans for a controversial new skyscraper nicknamed the tulip have been thrown out by the mayor. The tower proposed for the city of london included a viewing platform with rotating pods. It would have been the second tallest building in western europe, and was designed by the same architect behind the gherkin. Sadiq khan has said the scheme has limited public benefit. Police are investigating a series of sexual assaults in the same area in havering. Throughoutjune, there were seven separate incidents reported within half a mile of harold wood station. Many of the victims were followed from there. Detectives say they want to hear from any possible witnesses. Childcare costs during School Holidays have increased by 5 in inner london since last summer, according to a report out today. A survey of local authorities says working parents in the capital face a typical bill of more than £128 a week. It means many families need to find around £800 to cover the cost of childcare over the summer break. Three great white pelicans, have made london their new home. Named sun, moon and star, the trio have come to St Jamess Park from prague zoo. Pelicans have been a feature on the lake since 1664. The flock is fed every afternoon by a wildlife officer from the royal parks. The historical significance of having pelicans in stjamess park theyve been here since the 16605. They were a gift to charles ii. This is a tradition that we feel is really valuable to the park. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There is a good service on all tube lines this morning. 0nto the roads there are delays on victoria embankment, with carriageway restrictions towards waterloo bridge. And at marble arch, Bayswater Road is closed westbound between cumberland gate and lancaster gate. Now lets get a check on the weather, with kate kin5ella. Good morning. Its a lovely, bright start out there this morning. There is perhaps a little bit of high cloud, meaning the sunshine is a bit hazy, but that will clear, and weve got a day of lovely, warm sunshine. Blue sky, really, maybe a little bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up as we head through the afternoon, but nothing to get in the way of the sunshine, and temperatures getting up to a warm 26, maybe even 27 celsius in Central London. A lovely evening, as well, before the sun sets, and it stays dry and clear overnight. Minimum temperature in Central London probably not dropping much below 15 celsius, but it will be a little bit cooler out towards the suburbs. So another bright start for wednesday. Well see a bit more cloud tomorrow, perhaps, but some lovely, warm sunny spells. Temperatures getting up to around 25 celsius. And then for thursday, weve got a weather front sweeping through, so well see some rain first thing in the morning, but it will clear to a drier and brighter afternoon. However, the temperatures do drop a little as we head towards the end of the week. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast, with Steph Mcgovern and dan walker. Heres a summary of this mornings main stories from bbc news. Figures out this morning are expected to show a significant rise in the number of deaths from drug abuse in scotland. Scotland already has the highest number of drug deaths in any european country and politicians are describing the situation as an emergency. The department of health says it is already carrying out a review into drug misuse, and the Scottish Government says a taskforce has been set up to see whether a change of policy is needed. Four democratic congresswomen who were told by President Trump to go back to their countries of origin have described his comments as a racist attempt to distract from what they call his failing policies. At a News Conference last night, two of the women called for the president s impeachment. Mr trump has refused to apologise and accused the women of hating america. Weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. This president does not know how to make the argument that americans do not deserve healthcare. He does not know how to defend his policies. So what he does is attack us personally. The man tasked with working out how to improve britains railways says a new, largely independent body should be created to oversee the entire network. Keith williams, the former chief executive of british airways, is due to publish his final recommendations in the autumn. His review follows criticism of the way the franchising model is run. Food banks in the uk are expecting their busiest summer ever as they struggle to deal with ever increasing demand. The Trussell Trust, which runs a network of food banks, says demand soared by 20 last summer. Its expecting a similar increase this year when the School Holidays start and says much of the increase in demand comes from children who are eligible for Free School Meals during term time. Facebook is introducing a new reporting tool to make it easier to identify and remove fake adverts. Its also donated £3 million to fund a service being launched by citizens advice today to help the victims of online scams. The feature came about after martin lewis, founder of the moneysavingexpert website, sued over his name and photo being used on fake facebook adverts. The ministry of defence has put forward a series of measures to tackle inappropriate behaviour after a report highlighted what it called unacceptable levels of bullying, discrimination and harassment in the armed forces. The inquiry also found repeated suggestions that those in the military were not reporting inappropriate behaviour, because they were concerned about the consequences. Among the measures proposed by the mod are the setting up of a Defence Authority to investigate allegations, and diversity training for military personnel. If you have a look in some of the papers this morning, theres quite a few pictures of a whopping great jellyfish found off the british coast. This is the moment divers in cornwall discovered a giant, human sized barrell jellyfish, the largest species ever found in British Coastal waters. Youll see how big it is in a moment. Biologist lizzie daly, alongside her underwater camera man dan abbott, said the creature was as big as her, but explained it was a gentle giant without much of a sting in its tail. It isa it is a big old beast. Mesmerising watching it at this safe distance but you wouldnt want to swim near it. Youve got jellyfish but you wouldnt want to swim near it. Youve gotjellyfish issues, havent you . Quite a lot of people wouldnt want to be close to a jellyfish. Its got a very mild sting apparently. Earlier you said that it had no sting. I did say that, i wasnt informed correctly. But its got a bit of a sting. That, i wasnt informed correctly. But its got a bit of a sting. you saw one of those, youd be off . The fastest swimming you would ever see thats the way to get you to lift your game ill remember that if we are ever involved in a medley, chucked in a jellyfish thats totally what were going to do for children in need and sally will nail us children in need and sally will nail us all sally, what is your stroke like . Butterfly. Icing to the bottom, though maybe we should do a medley because got louise. I think. Lets not put those ideas in anyones heads i sink. The team look in good shape. Not too shambolic. Weve seen a view shambolic. Weve seen a view shambolic a view shambolic a few shambolic number 10 celebrations in the past. The celebrations continue for the England Cricket Team after they won their first world cup. They were at downing street last night for a reception with the Prime Minister, who is a big cricket fan herself and was at lords to see them beat new zealand on sunday. The last time an england mens cricket squad went to number 10, was in 2015 after winning the ashes and the new series is just a couple of weeks away. Im sure these players are going to be across every tv screen over the next few weeks. The ashes starts in 2. 5 weeks time as well, so weve got five test matches against australia to look forward to. This was always deemed the summer that could change cricket, and weve had the perfect start. Well, there has been a little bit of controversy over the way that england drew the main 50 over match in the final. Its all to do with a fluke boundary that happened when new zealand tried to run out ben stokes. But the ball hit his bat by accident as he dived to complete a second run and went for four. The umpires on the day awarded six runs, but the rules say it should only have been five. But the man in charge of english cricket isnt concerned. The trophys still up there. You could argue. I mean, the last ball boult bowled was a full toss on leg stump, and if stokesy hadntjust been looking for two then he probably wouldve banged it out of the ground anyway. Theres so many times in the game. As i say, we are world champions, weve got the trophy and we intend to keep it. England are one the verge of a place in the semi finals of the netball world cup. They emphatically beat jamaica in liverpool yesterday, a team ranked one place above them, so this was their first real test of the tournament. Its four wins from four for england, and they will guarantee a semi final spot if they beat trinidad and tobago on wednesday. We knew this was going to be a tough game, four games in a row. But scotlands hopes of a top eight finish suffered a blow as they lost to south africa. Northern ireland are also struggling to qualify for the latter stages of the tournament after losing to malawi. The next big 5poting event to get underway is the open championship at royal portrush, that starts on thursday. Its a home tournament for rory mcilroy who broke the course record there aged just 16. He plays his opening two rounds with the new us open champion Gary Woodland. Its the first time royal portrush has hosted the open since 1951, and the opening shot will be hit by another northern irishman, darren clarke. The Political Climate, until recently, there was not. They were never going to come here in that scenario. I think from how far weve moved on from the good friday agreement when that was done, they were never going to bring a tournament this big when they had those troubles going on. To see them being as brave as they have been, i think to bring it up here has been wonderful. Defending champion Geraint Thomas had a good day on stage 10 of the Tour De France. Thomas had started the 218 kilometre stage from saint flour to albi in fifth overall, but benefitted from a late break in the peloton that caught some riders off guard. The welshman had a unique take on what was a thrilling final sprint. He said some of the riders, ran out of gas and the elastic snapped. I ruined that, didnt i . Basically didnt go well. It looks like steve bruce is about to return to premier league management. Hes resigned from Sheffield Wednesday, having only taken over at hill5borough in january. The 58 year old has held talks with Newcastle United about replacing rafa benitez, and is now the favourite to get thejob. And spare a thought for barcelonas newest signing Antoine Griezeman on his first day of training with the spanish champions. A bit ofa a bit of a play with the rondo. He signed for the catalan club for £107 million but he was nutmegged not once, but twice by his new team mates. We re were there people watching from the side going, how much did we pay for him again . At least hes smiling about it. The tunnel of shame new laws to protect survivors of Domestic Abuse are to be proposed to parliament today, with the publication of a long awaited bill. Two years after theresa may promised to overhaul the law, mp5 will get their say on a range of proposals, including a new legal duty on councils to provide secure homes for those fleeing violence. Lets speak now to Home Office Minister victoria atkins, who joins us from our london newsroom. Thanks forjoining us. What difference is this Domestic Abuse bill going to make . For the first time were going to have a Legal Definition about Domestic Abuse and it will set out the fact its not restricted to physical violence but can take many forms, including emotional, economic and sexual abuse. This is a really landmark moment because when people have experienced Domestic Abuse in directly or indirectly then you know it can take many forms but if you havent, you might not know that so this bill will Commission Services to protect victims and children and help break the cycle of violence through tackling the perpetrators behaviour. Why has this taken so long . Two years ago theresa may promised to overhaul Domestic Abuse laws and here we are, two years later, getting its First Reading in parliament. We wanted to get this right. This is a really complex area and were really going much further i think people hope, and indeed we promised in the queens speech we would publish only a draft bill but we are going further than that by bringing the actual bill before parliament today. Its taken time. We had a consultation and we have thousands of consultation responses. We considered them carefully. We wa nted we considered them carefully. We wanted to add in extra scrutiny so we had a joint committee of both houses of parliament looking at the d raft houses of parliament looking at the draft bill. They reported a month ago. We turned it around in a month, and believe you me, im grateful to my officials because they worked very ha rd to my officials because they worked very hard to do this, but we were able to reduce the bill today with responses to the report. |j appreciate you say its about getting it right but for the victims of Domestic Abuse, two years is an awful long time for them. It is. And thats why as well as the bill we have a package of non legislative areas weve begun work on. For example, dwp job centre areas weve begun work on. For example, dwpJob Centre Plus areas weve begun work on. For example, dwp Job Centre Plus staff are getting training on Domestic Abuse, because that can often be the first touch point between the victim and the state. The Police Continue to have improved training on Domestic Abuse, because of course thatis Domestic Abuse, because of course that is absolutely key. But we are also rolling out programmes that will help spot the mistake abuse perhaps even before the police are involved stop we have a programme going out in schools called 0peration compass which helps the children, and the parents of children, and the parents of children living in abusive households, telling the police before the child gets to school that morning and that helps the child get cared for. Theres still some way to go before becomes law. Do both candidates left in the race to become Prime Minister support this bill, or could it be watered down . They do. Both Leadership Teams have said not only do they support it but they will progress the bill in the autumn. This is good news and an important piece of legislation that has cross party support. What right thinking person wouldnt want to tackle Domestic Abuse . This is a really positive step forward and its a big step forward for the 2 million or so victims we know who have to live in abusive households. When do you think people will actually notice a difference . When do you think people will actually notice a difference . |j when do you think people will actually notice a difference . I hope they will start to see a difference already in terms of the training of frontline workers, including the police and dwp. Where also rolling out a review to look at how Migrant Women are being treated if they victims of Domestic Abuse, because we know that something campaigners have concerns about. With got a consultation at the moment on refuge accommodation for those relationships where the victim has to flee the abusive relationship weve got. So there is a lot already going on. And day in, day out we have amazing charities and refugees across the country working to support the victims of this terrible hidden crime. Victoria atkins, ministerfor hidden crime. Victoria atkins, minister for crime, safeguarding and vulnerability. Let us know what you think about that. You can get us on e mail and facebook and also twitter this morning. Shall we find out whats happening with the weather . Matt can tell us. Not a bad start for many. 0ne not a bad start for many. One of our weather watchers in the isles of scilly enjoying it this morning with loose guys. A fair bit of sunshine around this morning, as there will continue to be through the day but a fuchsia will crop up here and there but not too many with most staying dry a few showers. Lets see whats happening from space. 0n the satellite, you can see this cloud, lots of that is high cloud meaning hazy sunshine. Grey and murky conditions across shetland at the moment and more low cloud in Western Areas producing a few showers in the south west of scotland for the morning rush hour, a few in Northern Ireland and some in Northern England, north wales and maybe the north midlands. Very few in number, most will be light but some heavy ones in scotland and Northern Ireland later but the vast majority will miss them. Strong sunshine into the afternoon and a warm day, temperatures into the mid 205 and 27 possible in the south east corner. A few showers into the first part of the evening, especially in the east, but they will fade away and then partly clear skies but lengthy clear periods for many to begin the night before cloud thickens up in western scotla nd before cloud thickens up in western scotland and Northern Ireland later, bringing rain by dawn. A cold night with temperatures for the vast majority in the teens tomorrow morning. A bit of a change to the weather pattern for the end of the week. To begin with, the area of low pressure pushing in from the atla ntic pressure pushing in from the atlantic on wednesday will bring more substantial rain to northern and Western Areas later but most will start wednesday dry with spells of hazy sunshine to the south and east. Cloud in over a bit in the afternoon. Scotland and Northern Ireland turning grey later in the day with heavy and persistent rain in the Western Highlands and hebrides. Temperatures here mainly in the teens, a few showers in western england and wales but hazy sunshine in the south and east and weve still got that one for another day with temperatures around 25 or 26. 0vernight rain in many areas but its fairly erratic, so not all gardens will get a drink of water stop be dry in the south and largely dry on thursday in the south. But further north, showers more frequent, heavy and thundery in scotla nd frequent, heavy and thundery in scotland and Northern Ireland and they will continue into the first pa rt they will continue into the first part of thursday night, fading away and on friday, a brief area of High Pressure but then more low pressure brings more widespread rain later on friday with fairly gusty winds. That will last from friday night into saturday. Before i go, a partial Lunar Eclipse tonight and with clear skies around later this evening, many will get to view it. There we 90, many will get to view it. There we go, partial Lunar Eclipse tonight. 0ne go, partial Lunar Eclipse tonight. One to look out for hes full of information the man tasked by the government to sort out britains Railway System says it should be independent and have greater input from city authorties. Victoria is at manchester piccadilly station, and can tell us what that could mean for passengers. It looks quite calm. It is pretty calm. Good morning to you both. So the man in charge of fixing britains railways is called Keith Williams, he is a former ba executive, the chairman currently at jon lewis. He says he wants to create a revolution, not even an evolution of the industry, and he wa nts to evolution of the industry, and he wants to put passengers back at the heart of the business. He gave the bbc a preview of his thoughts. The syste m bbc a preview of his thoughts. The system of today was developed in 1995, so it has been operating for well 1995, so it has been operating for we ll over 1995, so it has been operating for well over 20 years. There are 60 million fares that are filed today, and that ticketing system just of itself means that it has been difficult, actually, to bring in the flexibilities that you talk about, pay as you go across regions and across cities has been difficult to implement because of the fair system that exists today. What we are seeing as third parties coming into that because of the internet world that because of the internet world that we live in today fare. Third parties are making a really good impact and a good impetus in terms of ticket change. What i think the review needs to do is to recognise that that can be taken further. So he is saying that it could go further. Well, he is going to be giving a speech in bradford at 11am today to outline some of his thoughts. Tony is a rail expert. Keith williams saying it could go further, how would you improve ticketing across england . Further, how would you improve ticketing across england . M further, how would you improve ticketing across england . It would be simplerto ticketing across england . It would be simpler to better to simplify ticketing, but all the companies would have to change on the same day. There are Six Companies coming into manchester piccadilly and all their fares into manchester piccadilly and all theirfares are into manchester piccadilly and all their fares are interlocked, so simplifying ticketing and changing the way peak times work involve all of those companies renegotiating their contract at the same time with their contract at the same time with the government so he is setting quite a big challenge for the dft. Satisfaction rates are at all time lows. Pa rt of satisfaction rates are at all time lows. Part of the problem is value for money. If you want the sort of fa res for money. If you want the sort of fares you see on trains across europe, what needs to happen . The taxpayer putting in more money. That is the reason fares are cheaper across europe, they are supported socially more. Both parties in this country in recent years have taken the view that people who use the railway should pay for the railways, and some of the companies are making and some of the companies are making a lot it is not like they are making massive profits, but the taxpayer doesnt put much into support the fa re structure. Doesnt put much into support the fare structure. The network is at its busiest first thing in last thing of the working day. Is anything already being done or could be done more to alleviate the problem . Thousands of extra carriages are being delivered into the uk in the next couple of years. We are desperately waiting for some to arrive in the north of england. The problem is not a lot of work is being done on the tracks to make room for the extra trains. Thats why the timetable chaos happened la st why the timetable chaos happened last year, there isnt room for the extra carriages and seats, so ministers promising you will have much more have to back it up with the infrastructure to run the trains. We will be finding out a little bit more later today from Keith Williams, and he will be reporting back to the government in september. The big question is whether or not he will be delivering for customers as well as for the government. Thank you, we will speak to you a bit later on. And we have quite a moon for you this morning. Moon on a stick is what we deliver on this programme. 50 years ago today, nasa launched the Space Shuttle which would take man to the moon for the very first time. Millions of people watched apollo 11 make history on television. Brea kfasts tim muffett is at the National Space centre in leicester. Good morning, tim. We are at the planetarium of the National Space centre and this amazing visualisation of the mighty saturn v rocket, on that day, 1969, when it would take Neil Armstrong, buzz aldrin and Michael Collins on that historic journey which would aldrin and Michael Collins on that historicjourney which would really have a huge impact notjust on them but on humanity in general. The mighty power which lifted it up off the earths surface and into space. So the impact wasntjust on them, of course, but on so many people who we re of course, but on so many people who were watching it on television at the time, and who also were involved in the project itself. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. President kennedy wouldnt live to see his dream fulfilled, but injuly1969, 600 Million People watched in wonder. Tranquillity base here. The eagle has landed. When it landed, we all sort ofjumped up and shouted, we did it keith wright, who now lives in dorset, had good reason to be thrilled. This is me inside the top of the saturn v. He worked at the Kennedy Space centre, designing experiments that would go to the moon. Passive seismometer which was there to detect moonquakes, and the other experiment was a laser reflector which was used to bounce back laser beams sent from the earth, to measure the distance from the earth to the moon. Keith left another legacy. Two of the brackets that held the solar arrays on the seismic experiment were going to be thrown away on the moon, and our nasa principal engineer suggested that we sign the back of one of these brackets. I signed my name and drew a little union flag, because we had actually had 27 british engineers working on the experiments. And my signature and the union flag is on one of these. The us flag has disintegrated. The ultraviolet light will have just ruined it, and it will have just broken up. But hopefully our union flag drawing is still there. There he is putting his foot out. Oh, it was fantastic, i remember. Jean was gripped by the moon landing. It kickstarted a fascination with space that now spans four generations of her family. Her grandson dan runs kielder 0bservatory, in northumberland, where the family have gathered. I mean, the moon is something you look at all your life. Its beautiful. But imagine people being on it, its so hard to believe. Why are you interested in space . Because theres still lots to be discovered about it, and i love it because its where our home is. The technology that they used was less sophisticated than the mobile phone thats sat in your pocket. But itjust makes you really excited about now weve moved on so much as a civilisation since then, in terms of technology. What can we achieve next, where can we go next . Its fascinating. That was the thing on which those men were walking 50 years ago. Its hard to believe, isnt it . It doesnt look solid. It looks as though, if you stood on it, it would just go through. Its marvellous. A constant presence for every human. For a select few, a temporary home. Its its a great spot, the kielder 0bservatory, because there is very little light pollution, so you get amazing images of the moon. This morning we are at the National Space centre in leicester. I am joined by the head of Space Exploration at the uk space centre. When you look back on it, what impact does it have a new and many others as well . M on it, what impact does it have a new and many others as well . It was amazing, i was about five years old. I could remember going to my grandmothers to see the rocket launch, because she had a television, and seeing again the rocket launches just fantastic. When iat rocket launches just fantastic. When i at school, we had the television out at lunchtime so we could see the latest images, because it was a historic moment. Looking forward, are we going to go back as some people believe we are, and should be go back . Is it worth the expense . Yes, we will go back. The aim is to go back in 2024, that is achievable but challenging, and plans are being put in place for that. And there are decisions in november for europe of how we will participate and put the funding in place. So we would like to be involved in the lunar gateway, which is a space station that is around the moon, and participate in activities on the moon. Because we do think of it as an american thing back on the day, but it is much more international, in many ways. What is the uks involvement going to be, specifically . Well, we would like to be providing Telecommunications Services for everybody. Telecommunications is a strength in the uk. We are also very good at the science. Weve got 10 of the apollo samples in the uk being analysed, and weve got specialists who build specialist instruments that we want to take to the moon. And we look today at the model of the lander, as well, such primitive technology, less Computing Power than a mobile phone, and it is mind boggling they managed to get there and get back. Yes, it isjust amazing. It was managed to get there and get back. Yes, it is just amazing. It was a pocket calculator type computer. Todays pocket calculator is much more advanced, so there are a lot of people around who have memories of that day and we are trying to capture those memories and working with the arts and Humanities Research council and we will be publishing an e book at the end of the week with some of those memories. Thank you so much indeed. The impact was so great, and over the next few days there will be plenty more memories and recollections, for sure. We will catch up now with the news, travel and weather where you are, and a reminder of this thing itself, the moon. Good morning from bbc london, im charlotte franks. Plans for a controversial new skyscraper nicknamed the tulip have been thrown out by the mayor. The tower proposed for the city of london included a viewing platform with rotating pods. It would have been the second tallest building in western europe, and was designed by the same architect behind the gherkin. Sadiq khan has said the scheme has limited public benefit. Police are investigating a series of sexual assaults in the same area in havering. Throughoutjune, there were seven separate incidents reported within half a mile of harold wood station. Many of the victims were followed from there. Detectives say they want to hear from any possible witnesses. Childcare costs during School Holidays have increased by 5 in inner london since last summer, according to a report out today. A survey of local authorities says working parents in the capital face a typical bill of more than £128 a week. It means many families need to find around £800 to cover the cost of childcare over the summer break. Three great white pelicans, have made london their new home. Named sun, moon and star, the trio have come to St Jamess Park from prague zoo. Pelicans have been a feature on the lake since 1664. The flock is fed every afternoon by a wildlife officer from the royal parks. The historical significance of having pelicans in stjamess park theyve been here since the 16605. They were a gift to charles ii. This is a tradition that we feel is really valuable to the park. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There is a good service on all tube lines this morning. 0nto the roads, it is slower than usual on the a13 into town from the wennington interchange, due to a collision. And at marble arch, Bayswater Road is closed westbound between cumberland gate and lancaster gate. Now lets get a check on the weather, with kate kin5ella. Good morning. Its a lovely, bright start out there this morning. There is perhaps a little bit of high cloud, meaning the sunshine is a bit hazy, but that will clear, and weve got a day of lovely, warm sunshine. Blue sky, really, maybe a little bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up as we head through the afternoon, but nothing to get in the way of the sunshine, and temperatures getting up to a warm 26, maybe even 27 celsius in Central London. A lovely evening, as well, before the sun sets, and it stays dry and clear overnight. Minimum temperature in Central London probably not dropping much below 15 celsius, but it will be a little bit cooler out towards the suburbs. So another bright start for wednesday. Well see a bit more cloud tomorrow, perhaps, but some lovely, warm sunny spells. Temperatures getting up to around 25 celsius. And then for thursday, weve got a weather front sweeping through, so well see some rain first thing in the morning, but it will clear to a drier and brighter afternoon. However, the temperatures do drop a little as we head towards the end of the week. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Now, though, it is back to dan and steph. Bye for now. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Steph Mcgovern and dan walker. 0ur headlines today. Scotlands growing drugs crisis more than a thousand people died last year. Politicians describe it as an emergency. Fighting back the four democratic congresswomen attacked by President Trump dismiss his comments as a racist distraction. Weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. And facebook takes aim at fake adverts with a new tool to report scammers. The man in charge of fixing britains Railway System said it should be more independent from government and should have more input from city authorities. I will find out what it means for passengers. The party is continuing for england cricketers, going to downing street following their world cup win. And another warm and sunny day in the uk but showers will crop up day in the uk but showers will crop up later. The forecast right here on brea kfast. Its tuesday the 16th ofjuly. Our top story. Figures out this morning are expected to show a significant rise in the number of deaths from drug abuse in scotland. Scotland already has the highest number of drug deaths number of drug deaths in any european country and politicians are describing the situation as an emergency. The Scottish Government says a task force has been set up to look in to the situation. 0ur correspondent, james shaw reports. When i think of all the drugs ive taken over the years, theres no crying left. Ive run out of tears. An open mic event for drug users in dundee. Sylvia fox started taking drugs at the age of 14. Now she only uses the heroin substitute methadone, and recognises that her addiction caused a lifetime of risk taking. Once, i was found in the street, just in the middle of the road. I mustve just been walking and collapsed. And the other time i was in the house and i had again injected, i think it was morphine at that stage, and i had 0dd. Last year, dundee had the highest rate of drug deaths, but the problem affects all scotlands major cities. In areas like this piece of waste ground in the centre of glasgow, the chaotic nature of drug use does start to become apparent. The boss of one organisation which supports drug users is a former deputy chief constable, and now wants some decriminalisation. Enabling some of the things that at the moment we cannot do around drug testing, around indeed treatment centres, and the like, would be sensible, progressive measures that would enable us to have a more effective approach to drug harms than we are currently able to do under the current framework. That may be a controversial view, but demands for change are likely to become harder to ignore. James shaw, bbc news, dundee. The four democratic congresswomen told by President Trump to go back to their countries of origin, have held a joint News Conference to hit back at his comments. The women, who are all from ethnically diverse backgrounds, said hed been racist, and was using extreme language to deflect attention from what they call his failing policies. Heres our washington correspondent, david willis facing accusations of racism and xenophobia, President Trump is not backing down. Spelling out his message in capital letters, lest in capital letters, let anyone be in any doubt, and going on to attack the democrats for closing ranks around the four women. The dems were trying to distance themselves from the four progressives, he wrote, but now they are forced to embrace them. That means they are endorsing socialism, hate of israel and the usa. Minutes later, at a joint News Conference, the congresswomen, three of whom were born in the usa, hit back. He is launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States house of representatives, all of whom are women of colour. This is the agenda of white nationalists. Some people think its controversial. A lot of people love it, by the way. The question now for more moderate republicans going into the president ial election is what constitutes a crossing of the line. President trumps remarks have been criticised by theresa may. Last night, the two candidates hoping to become the next Prime Minister were asked what they made of it all. Lets find out more from our political correspondent, Jessica Parker whos in westminster. It was a question they had to answer, what did they say . Inevitable this subject was going to come up and people eager to hear whether the candidates would criticise President Trump and indeed how far they would go, particular interest perhaps in borisjohnson, after he was criticised for failing to fully back Sir Kim Darroch, the British Ambassador in the us, after he fell foul of donald trump following diplomatic leaks, he fell foul of donald trump following diplomatic lea ks, but, both contenders did condemn the president s remarks. Both contenders did condemn the president s remarks. I have three half chinese children. If anyone. They are british citizens born on the nhs, and if anybody said to them go back to china i would be utterly appalled. If you are the leader of the great multiracial, multicultural society, you simply cannot use that kind of language about sending people back to where they came from. Both were asked were the remarks by donald trump racist . Neither wanted to go that far. I think some will criticise that response is weak, others speculating both contenders wa nt to others speculating both contenders want to forge a special relationship with the United States and do that all important post brexit free trade deal with donald trump, and might as well be fairly aware of the fact if you criticise donald trump heavily he might criticise you back tenfold and ina he might criticise you back tenfold and in a public manner. Last night was the final head to head debate. There have been only two. We are at the tail end of the tory leadership race and a week today, the winner will be announced and a week tomorrow, there is a new Prime Minister. Thank you. The man tasked with working out how to improve britains railways says a new, largely independent body should be created to oversee the entire network. Keith williams, the former chief executive of british airways, is due to publish his final recommendations in the autumn. His review follows criticism of the way the franchising model is run. One of the things weve heard and listened to is that there needs to be real accountability in the railways. You know, someone needs to be accountable to the public for the services that they receive, and that needs to be at a national level. But what we also recognise is that the role of the regions needs to be emphasised, because maybe whats been lacking in the past is Regional Input into the National System has been somewhat lacking. Food banks in the uk are expecting their busiest summer ever as they struggle to deal with ever increasing demand. The Trussell Trust, which runs a network of food banks, says demand soared by 20 last summer. Its expecting a similar increase this year when the School Holidays start. Andy moore reports. Morecambe Bay Food Bank just one of the centres that delivered 1. 6 million food parcels across the country last year. They are gearing up for their busiest time of year, the summer School Holidays, when they prepare lots of food parcels especially for children. During the school terms, the children are actually getting the school meal during the day, at school. So obviously during School Holidays, there isnt the provision for the extra meals, and that puts an extra strain on the families. Extra money needed for childcare can also put pressure on poorerfamilies during the holidays. The Trussell Trust is launching an appeal for funds and food donations. It is also calling for changes to policy. The main issue that we see, which were calling for a change with, is the five week wait that people have to endure until they get their first universal credit payments. Its big, structural measures that the government needs to address in order to put an end to this crisis. The government says families on universal credit can get advance payments from day one, so no one has to wait. It also says 95 of claimants are paid in full and on time. Andy moore, bbc news. Facebook is introducing a new reporting tool to make it easier to identify and remove fake adverts. Its also donated £3 million to fund a service being launched by citizens advice today to help the victims of online scams. The feature came about after martin lewis, founder of the moneysavingexpert website, sued over his name and photo being used on fake facebook adverts. Now if you have been celebrating englands success in the cricket world cup, then spare a thought for the kiwis who have lost out on another accolade this week. A road in wales has stolen the title of the worlds steepest street, from previous record holders in the new zealand city of dunedin. Guinness World Records announced the winner as ffordd pen llech, in the town of harlech. I think it is 37. 5 . That is steep. There are various boxes you have to tick to make sure guinness allow you that. You have to have a certain number of houses, they measure over a ten metres length. I imagine you get visitors for that sort of thing. Do you reckon . Do they roller skate down it, that is what i want to do. Baldwin street, there are a lot of pictures. It is often packed with tourists because they go to see the steepest street but now they will be off to ffordd pen llech. I do not understand how suddenly the welsh street is steeper. I think the guinness book of records have discovered a blueprint to measure these fairly and now it is proved to be steeper than the one in new zealand. So they got the maths wrong initially. 0r so they got the maths wrong initially. Or they did not tick all the boxes needed. Well done to the welsh. It is now the worlds steepest street. Another great accolade stolen from the kiwis. Two years ago, conjoined twins safa and marwa were born in northern pakistan. They were joined at the head a condition which occurs just once in every two and a half million births. Over the last year, a team of nearly 20 specialist surgeons at great 0rmond street hospital, have been attempting life threatening surgery to separate them. In the first of a three part series, our medical correspondent, fergus walsh, has been speaking exclusively to the family. A warning this report includes scenes of surgery. Joined at the head, safa and marwa have never seen each other. This is the start of an incredible journey, aimed at giving them independence. Its october 2018, at great 0rmond street hospital. Their mum has been praying for this day for nearly two years. Safa and marwa are what is known as craniopagus twins. Their skull is one long tube. Its incredibly rare. The 21 month old girls have separate brains, but these are misshapen. One, two, and three just come up. The surgery is so complex, it will happen in three stages over several months. The twins wont be physically separate until the final operation. So the artery from safa going to supply marwas brain has been clamped. Each twin is supplying the others brain with blood. Cutting these connections is dangerous and will take two operations to complete. The twins are from pakistan. Ideally, the surgery should have been done a year earlier, when healing ability is strongest, but there were delays finding a donor to pay the medical costs. Despite the risks, the family and doctors believe it is right to go ahead. If we felt there wasnt a very, very high chance that we could do it safely, we would be thinking quite carefully about whether we should do it or not. And i think the whole team feel that theres an excellent chance of a successful separation here. A month after the first operation, the twins are back in theatre. Surgeons have to finish separating their shared blood vessels. Theres something oozing deep down there that i cant see at the moment. But marwas heart begins to fail. They fear losing her. Do you have a pulse or not . Were not stable, but we are less unstable. Good enough for me. The crisis passes. Because marwa is the weaker twin, the surgeons give her a major blood vessel to increase her chances of survival. But it disadvantages safa. Shortly after the 20 hour operation, she has a stroke. We were very close to losing her. She stayed in that critical state for 48, 72 hours after the surgery. It was a very difficult time for the girls, their families, and the entire team looking after them. But, after a lengthy time in intensive care, both twins pull through. The next challenge will be to separate the girls. Fergus walsh, bbc news. It really is incredible and i know many viewers are fascinated by this so many viewers are fascinated by this so you will be delighted to hear we will get more detail now. Were joined now by paediatric neurosurgeon 0wasejeelani and also by professor david dunaway, who is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Good morning, thank you so much for coming on to give more detail. Forgive my ignorance, professor, i understand you were responsible largely for the rebuilding and moor ul 0wase jeelani was largely for the rebuilding and moor ul 0wasejeelani was responsible largely for the rebuilding and moor ul 0wase jeelani was responsible for separating the brains . That is correct. The important thing is to be able to separate the brain successfully and repair the school over the top so you have two com plete over the top so you have two complete people at the end. Give us an idea, when you heard about this case, why was it. There are many others involved in this, why did they want to step in and make a difference . These are extremely rare cases difference . These are extremely rare cases and at great 0rmond street we have previously separated to such sets so we had the experience to deal with these cases. Only a few hospitals in the world have this track record. We were asked for help when the girls were three months when the girls were three months when a neurosurgeon called me to ta ke when a neurosurgeon called me to take over the care. That is what we do at great ormond street so we did it. You and others working on this are skilful and know yourjob is inside out, yet you are taking part ina inside out, yet you are taking part in a series of operations that are so in a series of operations that are so high tech and difficult to get right. There must have been a sense of being involved in something, as we are seeing, the eyes of the world are on this and so interested to see what goes on and whether it is successful. I think from our point of view it is great we can show the skills of great 0rmond street hospital and the teams we work with. And showcase british medicine at its best. This is something we do well in this country, working in a team ina in this country, working in a team in a fashion that allows us to undertake complex operations, relying on the skills of surgeons, nurses, clinicians, the scientists and engineers who have helped us to plan this ineffective way. What comes through is the size of the tea m comes through is the size of the team my in an effective way. We are showing a series throughout the week, and what comes through is the fa ct week, and what comes through is the fact that you particularly have become emotionally engaged in this story and the life of these young children. Is it something you thought would happen or did it develop over the course of the work . It happened over the course of the work. Perhaps for this particular set, i was emotionally a little too involved. It was the circumstances of when they were referred, what we had to go through to raise the funding and bringing them across. By the time they arrived we were already invested in this family and the journey, while they have been with us has not been straightforward. The whole experience was very intense. imagine when you have that emotional connection to them and the family, making those decisions about for example splitting the key arteries, trying to make a decision when you are almost having to decide yes, we are almost having to decide yes, we are trying to help both twins, but doing this might have a detrimental effect on one of them. That is exactly right. What we have at the moment is we have done the separation which is successful, but the question now is for the next set who is referred and there will be other children in this situation. We need to understand this better. Be more scientific in terms of deciding how and who gets which vessels. At the moment at best it is an educated guess from experience so we need to undertake research into these children so we can offer better medicine and care to the next set and in future. Professor, you are largely responsible for the building side of things but that moment when the heads are separated, what is it like . It must be incredible. It is indescribable. With every set we have come across it is extremely emotional because until it happens you are never sure it is going to happen successfully. For me it is an experienced mixed with the success of separating it and then my work starts. I have to repair the heads and give them a protected brain at the end of it. The separation is by no means the end of theirjourney. There is trepidation about how things will go from there. there is trepidation about how things will go from there. I am sure viewers are feeling that sense of trepidation. And how are safa and ma rwa trepidation. And how are safa and marwa now . They are making good progress. They have been through an intensive course of treatment over the past ten months, which we re ce ntly the past ten months, which we recently completed. They are making good recovery but it is too early to comment definitively about their future. We are optimistic they will make a good recovery and hopefully we will be able to show that in the months to come. Professor, it is lovely to see you explaining the decisions you have made and the way this has engrossed you in the same way as people watching, but i imagine when you talk to the family and explaining what you are doing and explaining what you are doing and they see the new life you are giving these children, it must be special to be involved in. Giving these children, it must be specialto be involved in. It has been amazing to be involved with the family. They have been enormously trusting throughout the whole experience and for them they have come from a strange country might come from a strange country might come to a strange country and put their trust into people they do not know. There is Something Special about separating twins. You build a tremendous bond with the family and with the twins we have separated in the past, it has been fantastic to be able to follow their journey through life and see what a worthwhile experience it is for everybody. It has been lovely to speak to you and on behalf of many viewers, there is a lot in the news that disappoints you, leaves you wondering about the future, but i think you have put a smile on a lot of faces and thank you very much. It is incredible, isnt it . To be in the situation, two lives in your hands. To do that, i am in awe. It is impossible not to have an emotional connection with two children you are trying to save and separating the brains and trying to rebuild them and checking they are ok and talking to the family about that, it is fascinating. Well also explore more of safa and marwas incredible story on tomorrows programme. You can also read the full story of their separation on the bbc news website.
