particularly for england and wales, but beyond that, it let set to settle down. more detail throughout the morning. it's sunday the 13th of august. the government is coming under pressure from campaign groups to manage migrants crossing the channel in small boats. six people from afghanistan have died after their vessel got into difficulty off the coast of calais. simonjones has this report. just hours after yesterday's tragedy in the channel, more migrants were being brought to dover after being picked up at sea, undeterred by the evident risks of taking to the water in overcrowded, flimsy boats. it was just such a boat that sank, prompting a huge emergency response. the survivor said of them have been trying to bail out water with their shoes. others were in the sea, pleading for help. a harrowing incident for the lifeboat crews. the french minister responsible for safety at sea visited some of those involved in the rescue operation in calais, keen to talk about the people who were helped to safety. this terrible event shouldn't — thanks to co—operation between france and britain, we managed to save life, that's what we have to focus on. last december, at least four people died when their boat capsized. there are now renewed calls for increased co—operation between britain and france. it is absolutely essential the authorities are able to co—operate to prevent people making these dangerous journeys. the fact that this is continuing is an indication of the failure of cooperation. there have been frequent attempts over recent years from the french and british authorities to reach agreement, a more effective means of policing the channel, stopping people embarking on these deadly and dangerous journeys, but we not seeing the results of that. the british government has described the deaths as devastating. it says the incident is another reminder of the dangers of crossing the channel in small boats and the need to break the business model of the people smugglers who are organising the journeys. more than 16,000 people have made the crossing so far this year despite the government promising to stop the boats. charities say this latest tragedy needs to focus minds on both sides of the channel to try to prevent further loss of life at sea. simonjones, bbc news, dover. 0ur reporter ian palmer joins us now from dover. ian, what's the latest this morning? the latest is from dover that the sea is calm and the winds are light, so it is very probable that the next small boat is already on its way to the kent coast. now, as we heard in this latest tragedy, six people died, believed to be men in their 30s from afghanistan, and, sadly, this is not the deadliest incident to happen in the channel. in 2021, 27 people lost their lives trying to cross the waters here, and in december 2022, four people lost their lives. the secretary has said this latest tragedy is a tragic loss of life. that is the human side. the politics, simonjones mentioned in his report, is a little more complicated. we heard last thursday that 100,000 people have managed to cross the channel in small boats since 2018, and last thursday, 750 people managed to cross the water and 1a boats. rishi sunak is trying to introduce legislation to try and stop people traffickers from plying their trade, which include stopping social media companies from advertising these crossings on their platforms, and also, trying to make it an offence for anybody crossing the channel in this way without permission. so the politics is very, very complicated, and as you say, the golf —— the government is coming under increasing pressure over these next few days. ian. under increasing pressure over these next few dam-— under increasing pressure over these next

stories this morning, starting in hawaii. 89 people are now confirmed to have died in wildfires in hawaii, making it the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. there are fears this number will rise further as hundreds are still unaccounted for. with the latest details, here's our us west coast correspondent sophie long. this is what remains of lahaina. cars abandoned as people ran and jumped into the sea to escape the flames. homes and businesses reduced to charred remains. president biden promised immediate help. set every available asset should be used to

the course of the program this morning. the health secretary steve barclay says patients from wales and scotland could be treated on the nhs in england in a bid to tackle record waiting lists. he has called for a meeting with his devolved counterparts to discuss what "lessons can be learnt" from varying approaches to the health service in different countries. however, the scottish health minister has suggested the uk government should focus on the "many issues south of the border", whilst the welsh government claims it has "outperformed" england in major emergency department wait times. dozens of boats will gather on the canals in central birmingham today to protest against government plans to cut funding for the canal and river trust, which looks after the waterways of england and wales. the trust has warned that some canals could have to close as a result of the reduction in funding. all new buildings in england will be required to have separate single—sex toilets. the government guidelines will apply to all new non—domestic public and private buildings. disabled toilets will not be affected by the changes. england's lionesses will face host nation australia in the women's

can speak now to jane. live in sydney for us this morning. australia needing penalties to get through to the semi—final. england not playing that well, getting a little bit of good well —— good luck as well. 0ften little bit of good well —— good luck as well. often it is a kind of foundational winning a tournament is built. i don't want to curse it. yeah, it can be, can't it? i have spoken to a lot of england fans immediately after the match last night and the fans you have just heard from, and they are all buoyant, so confident that they cannot just buoyant, so confident that they cannotjust beat buoyant, so confident that they cannot just beat australia buoyant, so confident that they cannotjust beat australia in the event semi—final but they can get to the final and win it. i suppose because i have a winning mentality after the winning the euros last summer, perhaps that breeds more success, doesn't it? but the problem is the aussies are going to feel exactly the same way. this is the first semi—final i have ever got una women's world cup, but they have the added ability of the home support, haven't they. it will be a huge swell of support for the matilda fans. england have had a problematic tournament so far, haven't they? they have had another physical match last night, and not the first one of this tournament. what problems will australia present for england? well, first of all, we know quite a bit about australia because we know so many of their players because they play in the wsl in england. that will give england's lionesses a little bit of an edge because they can anticipate how australia will play. we know they are resilient after that 120 minutes, and the nail—biting penalty shootout against france. but we also know that the support they will bring is probably going to pack out stadium australia. so the england fans have to bring a lot of noise if they are going to try and combat that. we mentioned a little while ago some —— sam kerr. she is the all—time top scorer for australia, men and women. so she is kind of a not so secret weapon. 0ther kind of a not so secret weapon. other thing is she has been injured for the majority of this tournament and she is not quite on the form. she is back playing for england might have to fear her. fans say they have been hit with everything this tournament. injuries, suspensions, physical matches. so they don't mind what australia throw at them. they will be able to deal with it. . , , with it. the excitement is building alread . with it. the excitement is building already. thank _

wales was actually, i think, the first to introduce a 5p charge for single use carrier bags, back in 2010. northern ireland followed suit in 2013, just three years later, and have now upped the price to 25p. scotland did the same in 2014, and now charge 10p per bag. england's 5p bag charge wasn't introduced until october 2015, and at first it only applied to large retailers. then, in 2021, the charge was extended to all businesses across england. 0ur reporter gemma dawson has been to find out how the changes have impacted people's day—to—day lives. when it comes to shopping bags, you either

_ —— we will see what happens. being top of the league partway through the opening weekend of the season isn't always a marker of who will eventually win the title. newcastle will take heart nonetheless after thrashing aston villa 5—1. new signing sandro tonali, £55 million italian international, scored on his debut as newcastle attempt to better their fourth place finish last season. villa equalised but the home side pulled away with alexander isak getting two of their four other goals. it isa it is a strange scoreline because it was a tight game, decided by probably our breathlessness in front of goal. could have scored more at the end. but how we approach the game and everything sort of clicks for us today. it was a massive win. last season's runners—up arsenal also got off to a winning start. england forward bukayo saka scored what proved to be the winner in their 2—1 victory over nottingham forest at the emirates. luton's first match back in the top flight for 31 years ended in a 4—1 defeat at brighton. six players were making their debuts for the promoted side. despite the result luton fans applauded the players and manager, who'd shouted himself hoarse. we will get better from this moment. we will get better from this moment. we can learn quickly. some players will still come into the group. they are at the training ground, not quite fit and ready, yet. against a top team, i saw some good moments, but we need to be better in key moments as well. a couple of counter—attacks we could have been more ruthless and. and then you can't make these mistakes at this level, because you get you get punished. level, because you get you get unished. . level, because you get you get punished-— level, because you get you get unished. ., ., ,, , ~ , son heung—min will lead tottenham hotspur into their opening match against brentford this afternoon after being appointed captain. the south korea forward is taking the armband from goalkeeper hugo lloris who's being linked with a move away from the club. and despite all the comings and goings, including harry kane's departure, of course. there's one thing really bothering tottenham's new boss. for the first time in sort of, i reckon, 20 years, i have had to pull out of our fantasy premier league team. i am gutted about that. and while they might try and draw me for information, they get nothing out of me. fun. because over premier league manager, that's correct. it isn't a fantasy any more, mate. —— because i'm premier league manager, that's correct. well, after leaving spurs in search of trophies, harry kane drew a blank on his bayern munich debut last night. the england captain came off the bench early in the second half in the german super cup against rb leipzig despite only signing for his new club the same day. a win would have meant the first silverware of kane's career but bayern were beaten 3—0. former world heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua spectacularly knocked out robert helenius at london's o2 arena last night. joshua was jeered by fans during the opening rounds of what was a pretty tentative fight until he landed a right hand in the seventh round. helenius needed oxygen but recovered and left the ring unassisted. it was joshua's first victory by stoppage in 2.5 years and sets up what could be a lucrative fight with another former heavyweight champion american deontay wilder in january. 0ne one step at a time. remember, it is competitive boxing. everything i do my opponents tried to shut down, every advance i try to make and vice—versa. itjust took every advance i try to make and vice—versa. it just took seven rounds. if i could have done it earlier, i would rounds. if i could have done it earlier, iwould have rounds. if i could have done it earlier, i would have done it. it is a break them downjob. many ways earlier, i would have done it. it is a break them down job. many ways to skin a cat. i done it in the end so we are here now. there hasn't been a home winner of the women's open for five years, but britain's charley hull shares the lead heading into the final round of the women's open. hull lives just half an hour away from the walton heath course and she's 9—under par alongside american lilia vu. hull hit six birdies in her third—round 68 and was happy with her performance in blustery conditions. i had my drive really good. apart from the last hole where it was gusting and almost had me on tiptoes. a good path. good form going to the final round. the main trick was to keep in there, strike it well. i had a good finish. i'm confident and looking forward to going home and having a bath. england could be without captain 0wen farrell for their opening rugby world cup match against argentina after he recieved a red card in the 19—17 warm—up win over wales at twickenham. farrell was given a yellow card for a high tackle, which was later upgraded to red in the new review system. a george ford penalty later secured victory for england and brought their three—match losing streak to an end. elsewhere, a late thomas ramos penalty saw france edge past scotland by 30 points to 27 in saint—etienne. scotland's final world cup warm—up match is against georgia in two weeks' time. a historic day of rugby league lived up to its billing at wembley yesterday. for the first time, both the men's and women's challenge cup finals took place at the stadium. and after st helens beat leeds rhinos in the women's match, leigh leopards won their first challenge cup for 52 years, beating hull kr on golden point. adam wild was watching. for these fans, the journey has been long, the wait even longer. more than a0 four the league, more than 50 years since the challenge cup final victory. 50 years since the challenge cup finalvictory. here 50 years since the challenge cup final victory. here was a moment perhaps. since changing their name and colours to leopards, they are a club that have found their roar. the rovers were making plenty of noise themselves, and when they went into score the opening try, they felt a moment a long time the mating. the leopards wouldn't be required for long. the game was levelled. the content is worthy of the occasion. it was the leopards that pounced. they found space where no—one else could. still, it was more drama. this kid evaded everyone. everyone at your grisly answers way. the video replays seem to take an age. try. brad schneider cooking rovers level with seconds remaining. after all these years, both sides will have to hang on a little longer. god point, the first to score. 11th moment filtered lamp. a gold of the astonishing glory. after decades of waiting, dreaming rugby league's most famous prize finally belongs to lee again. before a ball with even kicked, the

storming through the giver leads hope. that, though, dashed as a squad for science and for there, they would be no comeback. they became the first women's side to win a challenge cup and wembley, the sport grows, the stage grows, the challenge cup remains as big as ever. adam wilde, bbc news, wembley. talking of finals... today is the final day of the cycling world championships in scotland. it'll take something special for it to match yesterday for the hosts after great britain claimed seven gold medals. tom pidcock added the world title to the olympic gold. he won in tokyo in the mountain bike cross country race. a month after finishing 13th at the tour de france, he went from 33rd place all the way to first. i don't have much left now. i need to go and lay down. you know, i put my skin suit on this morning and it says on the collar here, inspire the nation. so i hope i did that today. he appears to have done just that. have a listen to these young fans who got to meet pidcock

travel this week. —— time now for the travel show, and this week, visually impaired lucy edwards heads to kenya for one of nature's most extraordinary events, the great migration. good girl. wow, molly. straight on. my name is lucy edwards, and nine years ago, i lost my eyesight completely. since then, i've been on a mission to use social media to showjust because i'm blind doesn't mean i'm broken. how does a blind girl play tennis? how does a blind girl organise her wardrobe? how does a blind girl ride a motorbike? she revs the engine i don't — my dad does. i'm going to get off this now because it's scary. she screams when i first lost my sight, it felt like my world had shrunk forever. but now, i'm embarking on a great big african adventure in kenya. with the help of my cane and a guide, i'll tackle some challenging terrain... and you were using my cane, weren't you? she laughs it's the toughest. the toughest thing that i've ever done. ..come face—to—face with the effects of rhino poaching... you know, he's meant to teach people a lesson... hmm. he was meant to... he's meant to be here to get people to understand that you shouldn't be poaching these beautiful animals. ..and end up metres away from some very hungry lions. the lion's here. here he is. i can hear a lion and a buffalo. yes. 0h! he wanted to hunt. lion snarls but the real highlight of my trip will be experiencing what's been called one of the great spectacles of the natural world — the great migration. so this is the eighth wonder of the world. each year, tourists from around the globe flock to see over 1.5 million wildebeest risk their lives, avoiding predators like lions and crocodiles, as they make their way from the serengeti in tanzania to the masai mara in kenya, in search of fresh grass. but how can someone like me experience a must—see spectacular like this? well, i'm going to try and find the answer to... how does a blind girl go on safari? this is my little make—up bag. i like to have things all in their set places, so i get everything on the bed first. then i'm like, "right, let mejust, you know, sort my life out." i was 17 years old when i lost my eyesight. and since then, i've had to discover a load of life hacks to make tasks like packing a suitcase a lot easier. where is it? oh, yeah, there it is. so, these are little packing cubes. basically, i put bottoms in one, tops in the other. i'll zip it up and i might even label, like, "day one" in braille, and then i'lljust pack it. i live in the uk with my two guide dogs — 0lga, who's now retired, and miss molly. oh, i want you two to come so badly, but i don't want you to be eaten by lions. you are. you're going to be eaten if you come. so you've got to stay with nanny. got to put you in the car now, my lovelies. it's like my left arm's being chopped off, girls! she ultimately allows me to experience the world in a way where i don't get overwhelmed, because she's got it. # you spin me right round... and it's not going to be like that in kenya. it's going to be me and my cane. not being able to take molly, it does scare me. so i've got a new passport, and it has braille on, it says "passport" there. the flight from london to nairobi takes just under nine hours. i can't articulate properly, i'm like... are we going to be ok?! bye now. bye— bye. bye—bye now. 0oh, it's somewhere here. it says 0.3 away. here it is. no, thank you! nairobi. kenya's capital has a population of around a.5 million people and is the country's largest city. it's my first—ever morning here in africa, and i'm in a completely new environment, without the help of my guide dog miss molly. nairobi is a place where many safaris begin. right, going from... ..left to right. but as i'm only staying here for a couple of days, i'm going to try and explore a bit, and my first challenge is to cross this busy road. that was so close. 0k. still hear it coming. yeah, i'm crossing. thank you so much. thank you. that's lovely of you. this is the middle section. nairobi is very overwhelming. zero out of ten accessibility when crossing the road. actually, possibly one out of ten because of the lovely people. broken pavement. a guy actually grabbed my cane, but i didn't know what was happening. and that, to me, kind of puts me in a panic mode because i'm like, "how can i control the situation? what am i going to do?" i really wanted miss molly because she just tells me with her little face, she, like, tilts it to the left or right where shop doors are and things. so, relying on my cane, it's, like, there'sjust so much stuff in the way. music playing it feels like i'm in a festival, actually, with all the crowd noises. a matatu is a party on wheels... ..and a very popularform of public transport here. each one is decorated with images of famous tv shows, rappers and sports teams, which is great, unless you're visually impaired. untranslated speech hello, there. hi. can i get on the bus? yeah. is that 0k? thank you. let me help you. thank you so much. slowly, slowly, slowly. yeah. right foot up. yeah, slowly. step here. this is really not like the 110 to birmingham that i used to get to school! loud music plays i can't hear anything other than the music. how am i meant to know where i am? i don't know. finally, i've come across a market. but notjust any market — a masai market. oh, lovely. these are people, these are sailors. a masai market means that we, as the kenyans, we have to maintain our traditional culture, and the traditional parts. the masai are a tribe in kenya whose homeland is the masai mara, a savanna wilderness in southwestern kenya, and the scene of the great migration that i'll be heading to when i leave nairobi. this is the wildebeest. this one is the wildebeest. so what does he look like? these are the legs here. here? yeah. here is the ears. oh, that's the ears? yeah, the ears. oh, they've got weird ears! i didn't know they felt like that. yeah, yeah. they are this ones, yeah? yeah. how much is he? 500. could you do me for a00? i can do for you. the market was great fun, and ifelt like i really got to experience nairobi. but beneath the smiles, i must admit, i'm completely overwhelmed and really missing my guide dog, who helps me to make sense of the world. back in the hotel room, and it's currently... electronic interference ..10:26pm in nairobi, and it's been such a full—on day, full of so many emotions. i am so excited for what's in store, but i cannot believe this is only day one. i am one of the 3a0,000 people in the uk who's registered blind or partially sighted. but visual impairment is on a spectrum and everyone is different. and if you're wondering what i can see, it's pretty much this wherever i am in the world. when i first went blind, the world became a scary place, and i never dreamed that one day i'd be going on a safari in africa. i've come a long way since those early days, but there's no doubt i'm going to need some help. so i'm heading to the nairobi national museum to meet william, who says he will be the perfect guide to take me to the masai mara. hi. hello. are you william ? lovely to meet you. i'm lucy. i'm william. pleasure to meet you. i know that this is a little bit forward, as we've just met, but i wondered if you could audio describe yourself, just so i can build a picture of you in my mind. so i am 5'9". 0k. yeah, i can hear where your voice... yeah. i'm 5'9". i like short hair. you can touch my hair. i love short hair. 0h, 0k. lovely. i don't have any beard. 0h, 0k. and what are you wearing? i'm wearing a green sweater. lovely. fluffy sweater. oh, yeah. and i'm wearing khaki shorts. shorts. yes, i'll be your eyes for today. and i have a small surprise for you. you do? i do. 0h, 0k. that sounds really cool. my big surprise is getting to meet some of the stars of the savanna. the great hall of mammals is a collection of taxidermy animals which have been in the museum for years. but not every visitor gets to get up this close and personal. so, a zebra has one colour, and the other colour on the top. the whole of the mouth is black. 0k. so we say a zebra is black, and white on the top. i think...touching taxidermy animals, initially, was like, "oh!" do the teeth look like traditional human teeth? like human teeth, but much bigger than human teeth. two times bigger. they're a bit, you know... how are they going to smell? how am i going to feel when i'm touching these dead animals? let's put it bluntly. so, yes, i want you to touch the eyebrows. i was like, "no, lucy. like, just experience it completely and wholly. this is one of your main senses now — touch." and how you know an elephant is right—handed or left—handed is by the tusk. so this elephant is right—handed. is right—handed. he's right—handed. the shorter the tusk, that's the side that it uses most, most of the time. and another thing, when he wants to warn you, you will see him flapping — one, two, three. another thing about the giraffe, it has the biggest heart. the heart of a giraffe is 1a to 15 kilos... wow! ..so that it can pump the blood up there. for me, i last saw nine years ago. so when i think of visual memories, or anything that i used to be able to see, it's like someone has taken a picture and put that picture in a drawer and locked it away for nine years. so that's what today was about. it was reimagining things that i used to be able to see and now can't. the next day, it was time to leave nairobi and begin my journey to the masai mara with will as my guide. after a couple of hours on the road, it was time for a spot of lunch and a chance to use another of my senses that i've come to rely on more since going blind — and that's taste. jambo! jambo. oh, my gosh. it feels spiky, like a pine cone. what colour is it? it's green... oh, yeah. it smells... ..and yellow. it smells like a green apple. thank you. yes. oh, wow. the thorn melon was like nothing i've ever tasted before. it was a cross between a banana and melon. thank you. because i can't see the world around me, i need to be able to taste it. and how i digest a culture is through their delicacies. 0l pejeta. leaving the city far behind, we reach ol pejeta — a 90,000—acre conservancy located on the equator in central kenya, and home to some of the big five — including lions. this is where i'm hoping to have a first encounter with the animals that have made kenya a top safari destination. the smell is different here, as are the sounds. i'm told 60 to 70 lions called ol pejeta home. but with many endangered species also living here, it's important to keep a track on the lions and check they aren't preying on any of the rare animals. we have managed to put a collar on one of the lionesses' neck, and once we're able to track and find that one lioness, we'll be able to see the other members. so this is a sample collar. can i have a feel? yeah, you can have a feel. it's not that heavy. you know, lions are strong, because we have the gps tracking machine... ..and then i'm going to put it on so you can hear the sound, which comes from it. interference. 0nce...once the machine communicates with the collar, the sound will change... 0k. ..to a kind of a heartbeat. in front of me are elephants. and elephants. so these two are young males. 0h. they're very close. i want you to listen to them. mm—hm. because they are eating grass just close to me. 0k. soft crunching. so... whispers: that's so beautiful. yes. it's making me cry. she laughs. i feel really emotional. i don't know. i haven't been able to... ..watch documentaries in years about nature, and they used to be my favourite. so... ..it�*s really sweet. she sobs. thank you so much, will. it's really lovely that i can hear them in real life. i didn't know it would make me this emotional. 0k. it's good you can hear them. yeah. it's a good moment for me. yeah. i really feel it inside of my heart. yeah. thank you so much for sharing it with me, because it means the world to me that you're talking to me about all of this amazing culture around you, because it's just so special, because i can't see it. ican hearthem. so, yeah, thank you. you're so welcome. she sobs. so i hope we'll see more. yeah, hopefully. and i want you to listen and smell the environment. yeah. and i'll try my level best to teach you whatever i have inside my heart, and whatever i know, i will try my level best to do that. sounds amazing. i will. safari is said to be a game of chance, and you aren't always going to be lucky and find what you set out to seek. but when it feels like all hope is lost... interference. eight... louder. so they're in this direction. i know that the lions won't get me, but i... yeah. do they come close to the car? can you hear them? there's so many things running through my head at the minute. when the signal is strong enough, samuel is allowed to take his vehicle off—road. they are there. do you...? do you see them? whispers: oh, ican hear her a little bit. she's breathing quite heavily, isn't she? so we have two female lions. we have one which is called lucy. so this is lucy. behind me? yeah, behind you. how far away? it's very, very close. and vanessa is just on the branches sleeping. so they are two sisters. and there's a cub. lucy's cub is just right in front of you. just about six metres just from me. lions are like cats. mm—hm. daytime, they are sleeping. yes. they are... they hunt early in the morning or at night. does she look like the lion king? that she would come out of the lion king? because that's the last memory of lions i have. yes. she looks like the lion king. yes, she does. lucy laughs. and the cub that we see there looks like... ..exactly like the cub which was in lion king. aw! exactly. i don't really look at photos like everybody else, and i don't remember things through looking at a photo. iwould... bird tweets. ..remember the sound of that bird. and remember the time i spent here. i'm going to take an audio recording tonight. sound is an important sense for me, but sight no longer is. so when night falls around here and darkness descends, i'm no longer at so much of a disadvantage, as the bush really comes to life. ok, lovely. i prefer night safaris because i feel like all the animals are at my level. she laughs. and ifeel quite equal with my environment at night—time. rustling. there he is. whispers: oh, you can hear a lion... yes. they wanted to hunt. where? animal growling. no way! see the lion chasing them? do you see? are they running away? yeah, from the lion. 0h. he's chasing them! two lions! yes. let's get closer. let's go, let's go, let's go. loud snarling. they have already killed a young buffalo. no. . .way! it's on your left. urgh, what are they doing now? are they...? and it was... you heard the rip. and that smell, it's so disgusting. yeah, the smell. it was like they were chewing something really soft. that smell can attract other scavengers, like the hyenas. lions groan loudly. the sounds and smell of a bush kill are like nothing i've ever experienced before. things have just turned wild. i can't believe i've just heard what i've just heard. singing. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria valentine. our headlines today: 89 people have been killed by wildfires in hawaii, the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. when we find these... ourfamily and ourfriends, the remains we are finding is through a fire that melted metal. there's renewed pressure on the government to stop migrants crossing the channel in small boats after six people drowned. the morning in sport. debut goals and a big win: it's newcastle who catch the eye in the premier league. harvey barnes finished off a 5—1victory as they end the first saturday of the new season on top of the table. the banter has already begun between england and australia fans as we build up to their mouthwatering semi—final in the women's world cup. good morning. another day of scattered showers coming up. more persistent rain then tonight and tomorrow, particularly for england and wales, but beyond that, it looks set to settle down. i'll have more detail throughout the morning. it is sunday august 13. our main story: 89 people are now confirmed to have died in wildfires in hawaii, making it the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. there are fears this number will rise further as hundreds are still unaccounted for. with the latest details, here's our us west coast correspondent sophie long. this is what remains. as people ran and jumped this is what remains. as people ran andjumped into this is what remains. as people ran and jumped into the sea to escape the flames. homes and businesses reduced the charred remains. president biden promised immediate help and said every available asset should be used to provide it. days later, people say it is not yet reaching those most in need. people like felicia are desperately trying to get supplies into lahaina themselves. i am frustrated. people are hungry. all together. we are one family. we can take care of each other. they are traumatised, they are upset. no—one is giving hugs, no mental help. what do you need from me? kids in the same diapers since thursday, people without food. they haven't drank since before the fire. what are we doing? hundreds of thousands flocked maori's signing coastline every year, and thousands ofjobs here are dependent on tourism —— maui. the contrast between those holidaying in those hurting is difficult to bear. so many are still unaccounted for. the same waters that our people just died in three days ago are the same waters the very next day these visitors, tourists were swimming in, and that says a lot about where their heart and mind is throughout all of this, and where our heart and mind is. you don't see our people swimming, snorkelling, surfing. no—one is having fun in tragedy and continuing their lives like nothing happening. there is two hawaiis right now. the one they are living in and the one they are living in, visiting in. they continue to sift through the remains of the people you've hours to get back to what were their homes. confusion is leading to frustration. 8:30 we went there, they said go to the other side. we went to the other side in the same thing, there is a line, it is not even moving so we came back here. we got here at 9:30am and it is 12:30 right now. they are not telling us what to do. the cops are just going back and forth. but the authorities are asking for patience. we know we have to go quick, but we have got to do it right. so when we pick up the remains and they fall apart, and so when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday, and some of you... that's what you're stepping on. i don't know how much more you want me to describe it. that's what you're stepping on. give us a little bit of time to contain that...please. people already know this is the deadliest disaster in hawaii's history, and the death toll is still climbing. sophie long, bbc news, maui. we can now speak to sophie long in maui. sophie, the governor said he expects the death toll to rise? yes, he has been very clear about that, josh green. he gave a press conference today. he has actually been on a tour of some of the worst affected areas and we heard from the maui police chief and they have been clear the death toll will rise. the cadaver dogs they are using to search some of the buildings that have burnt have only been through about 3%. the fact is they haven't searched every building that has been affected and there are many people who remain unaccounted for. this is an immensely difficult time for many people here in maui. there is some frustration, people want to get back into lahaina and you heard the plea from the police chief there. they are working as fast as they can, but it is a job, a painstaking task, and it will take time. a very difficult time and, sadly, with every update we get from the authorities, there is a new sad and rather depressing headline. we now know this is the worst deadliest wildfire to have affected the whole of the united states in over a century and it is certainly the worst natural disaster that has hit away in the state's history.- away in the state's history. thank ou ve away in the state's history. thank you very much. — away in the state's history. thank you very much, sophie. _ away in

hawaii to one closer to home. the government is coming under pressure from campaign groups to manage migrants crossing the channel in small boats. six people from afghanistan have died after their vessel got into difficulty off the coast of calais. simonjones has this report. just hours after yesterday's tragedy in the channel, more migrants were being brought to dover after being picked up at sea, undeterred by the evident risks of taking to the water in overcrowded, flimsy boats. it was just such a boat that sank, prompting a huge emergency response. the survivors said of them had been trying to bail out water with their shoes. others were in the sea, pleading for help. a harrowing incident for the lifeboat crews. the french minister responsible for safety at sea visited some of those involved in the rescue operation in calais, keen to talk about the people who were helped to safety. this terrible event shouldn't — thanks to co—operation between france and britain, we managed to save life, that's what we have to focus on. last december, at least four people died when their boat capsized. there are now renewed calls for increased co—operation between britain and france. it is absolutely essential the authorities are able to co—operate to prevent people making these dangerous journeys. the fact that this is continuing is an indication of the failure of co—operation. there have been frequent attempts over recent years from the french and british authorities to reach agreement, a more effective means of policing the channel, stopping people embarking on these deadly and dangerous journeys, but we not seeing the results of that. the british government has described the deaths as devastating. it says the incident is another reminder of the dangers of crossing the channel in small boats and the need to break the business model of the people smugglers who are organising the journeys. more than 16,000 people have made the crossing so far this year despite the government promising to stop the boats. charities say this latest tragedy needs to focus minds on both sides of the channel to try to prevent further loss of life at sea. simonjones, bbc news, dover. an hour ago, we heard from ian palmer in dover. let us go to the other side of the channel. our foreign correspondent bethany bell joins us now from calais. what more can you tell us about who was on board? those who lost their lives yesterday?— those who lost their lives yesterday? those who lost their lives esterda ? ~ , ., ., those who lost their lives esterda ? ~ , . ., .,

of the people who were i yesterday? we understand that a i number of the people who were on board and who were rescued, many of them appear to have come from afghanistan with a view also believed to have come from sudan. we also understand that there were children on board. what the french authorities here have been saying is that they have been talking to some of those people who were well enough to speak to them, to try and establish exactly what happened on that overcrowded boat when it capsized in the waters, and this of course is something that will take a little while to try and establish what has been going on, an investigation is under way. france's prime minister has praised the work of the rescuers here, and she said her thoughts are with the victims. but this is a problem that is still very much going on because we saw last night a statement from the french coastguard that they had rescued another boatjust outside the port of calais here, and then they brought 5a people from that boat to the port of dunkirk not far from here. aid workers have been telling us that more migrants, the number of migrants coming here has gone up in recent weeks.— gone up in

so coastguard and emergency services will be on alert. dozens of boats will gather on the canals in central birmingham today to protest against government plans to cut funding for the canal and river trust. the organisations which looks after the waterways of england and wales has warned that some canals could have to close as a result of the reduction in funding. all new buildings in england will be required to have separate single—sex toilets. the government guidelines will apply to all new non—domestic public and private buildings. disabled toilets will not be affected by the changes. the health secretary steve barclay says patients from wales and scotland could be treated on the nhs in england in a bid to tackle record waiting lists. he has called for a meeting with his devolved counterparts to discuss the issue. let's get more on this with our political correspondent georgia roberts. shejoins us from our she joins us from our central london newsroom for us this morning. good morning to you. this is the plan, but there is already a row amongst the nations of the uk about who is doing a betterjob with waiting lists. doing a better “0b with waiting lists. . . doing a better

health services. it was either the nhs in england. he has invited them all to to talk about how they can tackle it together and he highlights how long—term weights in scotland and wales look worse than they do in england, he says in labour's government in wales, people have been waiting 77 weeks for treatment. in scotland, 22,000 people waiting over 78 weeks. in england, waiting this timescale are virtually zero. the actual figure is around 7000. in this context, he says he is open to scottish and welsh patients being treated in england. but both have hit back, saying these figures are comparable in the way he is presenting them in the scottish health minister also pointing out that the scottish government recently successfully negotiated with junior doctors to avoid strike action, and that is clearly the backdrop to all this. the waiting list in england. millions for the first time this weekend the nhs ministers themselves say the strike action has had a big impact on this. the numbers, though strikes continuing this weekend with junior doctors walking out four days. the numbers in england and not moving in the right direction for the government and we have the health secretary stephen barclay against his difficult backdrop in england attempting to push back against labour's claims that the conservatives are failing the nhs by saying that actually in scotland and wales it is not a good picture either, and of course it will be a keyissue either, and of course it will be a key issue in the run—up to the next general election. key issue in the run-up to the next general election.— general election. georgia, thank ou. england's lionesses will face host nation australia in the women's world cup in just a few days' time. in the semi—final. the european champions secured their place in the last four after beating colombia two one. we can speak now to jane. she is there with the opera house behind on a ferry going across from manly behind you. it is an amazing spectacle, an amazing tournament. have the england fans been saying to you this morning? it have the england fans been saying to you this morning?— you this morning? it really is, isn't it? even _ you

really is, - isn't it? even though this is winter in australia, i still take it because it is a far better temperature than it is in britain at the moment i would imagine. yes, the fans are really buoyant. yes, it wasn't a massively convincing win over colombia but we always knew they would be a physical side and they would be a physical side and they don't really do much for the nerves of their fans, the lionesses, because the first time in this tournament england went behind and had to come back from a goal down. but they did, they came back to win 2-1. but they did, they came back to win 2—1. so that is five wins from five and the lionesses are through to a huge semi—final. the fans i have spoken to have been very confident about how they will do in the semi—final against australia. admittedly, this is the first time australia have ever got to a semi—final in a women's world cup. england, it is the third time for them so they hope it is third time lucky and for them to get to the final. fans are confident they will get the final, not just final. fans are confident they will get the final, notjust get final. fans are confident they will get the final, not just get to final. fans are confident they will get the final, notjust get to it, but also win the trophy. you can see why they have that confidence, because after winning the euros last summer, confidence breeds success. what problems will australia present for england? we know they are very resilient because for their quarter—final to get through to the semi—final they have debate france on penalties after 120 minutes of play. on penalties after 120 minutes of play, and they managed to do that in a nail—biting finish. it was extraordinary to watch. we know we have stamina and resilience. we know quite a few other players as well because many of them play in the wsl, including their star striker, sam kerr who plays for chelsea. but she has been injured so england have the knowledge up their sleeve and i hope she will be on form for this huge semi—final we are all looking forward to on wednesday. thank you, jane. look how many fairies are there! to behind you, and one has already gone past. ——2

order to tackle a recruitment shortage in education. the party claims that £5 million has been spent in the last year on supply teachers. we can speak not to the shadow education secretary, bridget phillipson. thank you forjoining us this morning. this is interesting. let's start with the first bed, the idea that the party plans to recruit six and a half — 6500 new teachers. how will you go

government research suggests that teachers might forfeit higher pay forjust better working conditions, four, you know, better support in their education, in their vocation and what they have chosen to

been very interesting about this, if you look at the euro 2022 run as well, the resilience england have shown, it is almost like the team you don't support that always does well and you are a bitjealous of them, that is england! they are doing that, overcoming injury, suspension problems, and yesterday they came back from a goal down to win. this is something we might have to come to terms with! australia and their home support will offer another challenge to overcome. the co—hosts in sydney is england's reward for beating colombia in that quarterfinal. the lionesses fell behind for the first time this tournament. keeper mary earps caught out by something spectacular from colombia's leicy santos. an equaliser before half—time would have been wanted and it came in the 8th minute of first—half injury time. lauren hemp making the most of a goalkeeping error and defensive mix—up to score. the winner from alessia russo came in the second half. england holding on to win 2—1, matching their best achievement at a world cup in reaching the finalfour. it is another test, but one that is exciting, not only to face the hosts, but also, to be in a world cup semi—final. yes, keeping the dream alive. it is really exciting. today was like an away game too. now we are going to play them and i — we're all excited to play them. for them, of course, it will be special as well. it will be full of australian people and hopefully some england fans too. we will see what happens. australia made the last four after an extraordinary penalty shoot—out against france in brisbane. three spot kicks in a row were missed before courtney vine, the third australian with a chance to win the shoot—out, did manage to convert to send the co—hosts through. they've never reached the semi—finals at a women's world cup before and nor have they ever played england at the tournament. success is when you leave it all out there no matter the result, you play with your heart, and give it your best with a crest on your chest, and the players rep present so much more than 90 minute football, all 220 a11 lies with us out there, all the little kids that this team will inspire, the next generation, i am probably one of the proudest and happiest coaches right now because i am so happy for so many other people. being top of the league partway through the opening weekend of the season isn't always a marker of who will eventually win the title, but newcastle will take heart nonetheless after thrashing aston villa 5—1. new signing sandro tonali, a £55 million italian international, scored on his debut as newcastle attempt to better their fourth—place finish last season. villa equalised but the home side pulled away with alexander isak getting two of their four other goals. it is a strange scoreline because it was a tight game, decided by probably our breathlessness in front of goal. —— ruthlessness. could have scored more at the end. but our fitness levels. how we approach the game, and everything sort of clicked for us today. it was a massive win. last season's runners—up arsenal also got off to a winning start. england forward bukayo saka scored what proved to be the winner in their 2—1 victory over nottingham forest at the emirates. luton's first match back in the top flight for 31 years ended in a a—1 defeat at brighton. six players were making their debuts for the promoted side despite the result luton fans applauded the players and manager. son heung—min will lead tottenham hotspur into their opening match against brentford this afternoon after being appointed the club's new captain. the south korea forward is taking the armband from goalkeeper hugo lloris who's being linked with a move away from the club. and despite all the comings and goings, including harry kane's departure of course, their new boss says there's still work to do in the transfer market. what we are looking to do is, as i said from day one, make sure we have a stronger team, stronger squab to play the football we want and develop over the next period of time —— squad. over the next three weeks, with the priority right now is to trim the squad down and see where we are at and fill the gaps where we need to fill the gaps. well, after leaving spurs in search of trophies, harry kane drew a blank on his bayern munich debut last night. the england captain came off the bench early in the second half in the german super cup against rb leipzig despite only signing for his new club the same day. a win would have meant the first silverware of kane's career, but bayern were beaten 3—0. brian wasn't playing in the match. harry kane's one of the biggest nfl fans in football. well, now, here's an american sporting star who's a new fan of soccer. tom brady is involved with the new owners of birmingham city and surprised fans by popping into a nearby pub yesterday. the seven—time super bowl champion turned up at the roost, outside st andrew's stadium before their game against leeds. he went on to watch a 1—0 win alongside new chairman tom wagner. the fans got me pretty energised and just hearing the different chance, some of the thongs i need to learn, it has been a crash course but a great way to start this whole experience —— chants. sports bring so many people together from all over the world, and for us to travel from the united states here and see the turnout and see these amazing groups of people come together to celebrate the sport, it is something i have been enjoying my entire life, and that is what i envision my future being. former world heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua spectacularly knocked out robert helenius at london's o2 arena last night. joshua was jeered by fans during the opening rounds of what was a pretty tentative fight until he landed a right hand in the seventh round. helenius needed oxygen but recovered and left the ring unassisted. it was joshua's first victory by stoppage in 2.5 years and sets up what could be a lucrative fight with another former heavyweight champion american deontay wilder injanuary. we collected all them belts, defend and then multiple times, done great business, stadium fights, america, saudl business, stadium fights, america, saudi, my team are amazing. i put my faith in them to deliver. we have just got to hope the other team play ball as well, really. would like to fight again

there hasn't been a home winner of the women's open for five years, but britain's charley hull shares the lead heading into the final round of the women's open. hull lives just half an hour away from the walton heath course and she's 9—under par alongside american lilia vu. hull hit six birdies in her third—round 68 and was happy with her performance in blustery conditions. i hit my drive really good. apart from the last hole where it was gusting and almost had me on tiptoes. it was a good par. good momentum going to the final round. the main thing was to keep in there, strike it well. yeah, i had a good finish. i'm confident and looking forward to going home and having a bath. england could be without captain owen farrell for their opening rugby world cup match against argentina after he received a red card in the 19—17 warm—up win over wales at twickenham. farrell was originally given a yellow card for a high tackle, which was later upgraded to red in the new review system. a george ford penalty later secured victory for england and brought their three—match losing streak to an end. elsewhere, a late thomas ramos penalty saw france edge past scotland by 30 points to 27 in saint—etienne. scotland's final world cup warm—up match is against georgia in two weeks' time. a historic day of rugby league lived up to its billing at wembley yesterday. for the first time, both the men's and women's challenge cup finals took place at the stadium, and after st helens beat leeds rhinos in the women's match, leigh leopards won their first challenge cup for 52 years, beating hull kr on golden point. adam wild was watching. for these fans, the journey has been long, the wait even longer. more than a0 for leigh, more than 50 years since the challenge cup final victory. here was a moment perhaps. since changing their name and colours to leopards, leigh are a club that have found their roar. the rovers were making plenty of noise themselves, and when they went in to score the opening try, they felt a moment a long time the mating. the leopards wouldn't be quiet for long. a passing move saw them levelled again. the content is worthy of the occasion. it was the leopards that pounced. tom briscoe finding space where no—one else could. still, it was time for more drama. this kick evaded everyone. the video replays seemed to take an age. try. brad schneider kicking rovers level with just seconds remaining. after all these years, both sides would have to hang on a little longer. golden point, the first to score. a goal to steal astonishing glory. after decades of waiting, of dreaming, rugby league's most famous prize finally belongs to leigh again. history for the women. before a ball with even kicked. a first final at wembley as symbolic as it is significant for the sport. st helen's and leeds an old rivalry on a new stage. a determination to get here, the saints' tara jones a determination to get there. that, the first of three quick tries, ebony partington building a commanding half—time lead. but back came the rhinos. caitlin beevers has been to wembley before as a referee. here she was storming through to give leeds hope. that, though, dashed as a squad and for there, they would be no comeback. they became the first women's side to win a challenge cup and wembley, the sport grows, the stage grows, the challenge cup remains as big as ever. adam wilde, bbc news, wembley. today is the final day of the cycling world championships in scotland. it'll take something special for it to match yesterday for the hosts after great britain claimed seven gold medals. tom pidcock added the world title to the olympic gold he won in tokyo in the mountain bike cross country race. a month after finishing 13th at the tour de france, he went from 33rd place all the way to first. i don't have much left now. i need to go and lay down. you know, i put my skin suit on this morning and it says in the collar here "inspire the nation" — so i

rejuvenation athlete. it is a new sport i want to create. i'm not a bio—hacker, i'm not a health enthusiast, i am a professional rejuvenation athlete. i love it. in working with a team of 30 scientists, his daily life is dictated by an extreme regime of fitness, diet, tablets, tracking and treatments. i am chronologically a5 years old, biologically i am a few hundred ages. my left ear is 6a. my fitness test say i'm 18. my heart is 37. my diaphragm strength is 18. and i playfully say i am trying to become like an 18—year—old. my son is 17 so i always tease him and say, when i grow younger, i want to be like you. where is he taking me? wow. where to start in here! is this one of those devices that measures the age of your skin? that's right. how is yours doing? we've made about 22 years of progress in reversing the age of my skin. it takes all these images of your face and you get about ten reports on pore size, uv spots, reds, browns. your skin is amazing. but is this just from your regime or is there other help? other help too, we have some lasers over there, which i'll show you... there are no injections — that's just from everything in here? that's right. what do we have next? this is something that also tells you the health of your cardiovascular system, so your age. it looks at advanced glycinate product in your skin. so if you want to try it, you can put your arm on it, and it will tell you your age. an ideal school would be around two. you your age. an ideal school would be around two-— so i am only a little bit too old for my age, it could be worse. what's next? ok, this is an ultrasound machine, its medical grade, so this is what you would see in a hospital. are you having a baby? laughs who knows with what you're getting up to already! what are you actually using it for? we look at the brain, the lungs, the heart, the pancreos, prostate, tendons, ligaments, everything. it is really a useful technology to have in the clinic to do it on a routine basis. how do you feeljust before you do any of this tracking? do you get a bit nervous, hopeful? do you have expectations? it is a game. some of my most happiest days are when we do these full measurement days. what's your motivation? are you doing this for yourself or for humanity? when i was 21 years old i decided that i wanted to spend my life doing something meaningful for the world. and i didn't know what to do so i said "i'm going to make a whole bunch of money being an enterpreneur by the age of 30", then i'll decide what to do. since i sold my company, braintree venmo, i made $300 million and this question was, what could i do that would matter in the year 2500? and right now it could be ageing. if we slowed the speed of ageing, and even reversed it, it could change what it means to be human. do you think you are risking your health here? in all the things you're doing to protect it, do you think there's also some real risk? certainly, there is always risks but there is potentially an argument that we are being more safe than anyone else because we have the rigour of measurement. whilst bryan signed his life away to experimentation, i visit the buck, the world's first institute for ageing research. these scientists are working on drugs that they hope could delay age—related disease. would you say there has been huge scientific advancement in this field recently or is there just a sudden trend for investment and interest in it? the science has matured in terms of, you know, we have been doing this for close to 30 years, understanding the basic mechanism of ageing, number one. number two, the societal needs are there. you have a rapidly ageing population with an increasing burden of chronic diseases. one really important discovery in mice here was the ability to reduce what are called senescent cells. these zombie cells play a useful role throughout our lifetimes but as we age, we acquire many more and as they also lead to inflammation, that increased number ends up providing a hotbed for cancer and all sorts of disease. but maybe we are missing something. lifestyle is responsible for about 93% of your longevity. only about 7% on your genetics so you can't blame your parents. a lot of exercise, some fasting, a lot of good sleep, a lot of social connection, very little alcohol, try to spend at least 1a hours of your 2a—hour day without ingesting any calories. but if they work, why do we need to be trying to deal with this bigger picture of cellular senescence? senescence is still going to happen. hopefully if you exercise, its going to be delayed by 10, 15, 20 years. i don't mean to be saying that lifestyle intervention is all that needs to be done, there is a need for science for the future. what's that thing that people do where they sit on the floor and try to get up without using their hands? whatever eric has been doing seems to be working. this is meant to be some sort of sign of youth, if you can stand up by not using your hands. how can anyone do that, pushing yourfeet down, how is it possible? how do you do that? i don't know. i think it means that you are under 20 or something. exactly. i can't do it! thank you. our furry friends could get their paws on a life—extending pill first though. # i love my dog to bits... you'll notice there are no great danes here, there are no large dogs here, and it's because they can have a lifespan of six, seven, eight, nine years, almost half that of what a little guy like this could be expected to have. our hypothesis is that the short lifespan of big dogs is a disease. where are you at now with the trial? we are kicking off our big, pivotalstudy, we are trying to understand does our drug extend life—span and quality of life? it's a preventative drug, inhibiting the protein that we believe drives big dogs to age fast. and if everything goes to plan we will hopefully have a drug on market in 2025. if successful, loyal�*s drug could hasten the solution for humans, too. dogs eat similar diets to us, they live in the same environment, and they also develop the same age—related diseases as we do, at approximately the same time in our lifespan, so if a drug works in a dog, it is not 1—to—1 to work in a human but it's much more likely versus, we do a lot of research on mice, and that does not translate out all. meanwhile, i'm off to a longevity meet up. so, are these brainy scientists living the longevity lifestyle? there are still unopened bottles of wine, so probably! tonight we had a longevity friendly mix of food, seaweed and the fish. other parts of the industry have not been quite so wholesome though. for decades there has been a lot of snake oil, a lot of miracle pills, the god pill, all of this stuff. and many have been desperate to believe, just ask this leading silicon valley doctor. i don't know why people want to gamble with their health. i understand gambling with your money, so, if it is safe and it's not effective like a vitamin — some vitamin — then you are gambling with your money but if it is not proven safe, and it is not proven effective, you are gambling with your health, and then there's people spending a lot of time doing these things and they are not living their life, they are living the version of their life to give themselves a future life, but what happens if the future life never materialises? the good news is with all these new blood tests, there's new breath tests, there's urine tests, there's wearables, there's apps, there are so many things that track things so if you really want to, like, if you are overweight and you have high blood pressure, and you love your wine and you love your life, in but you want a pill to make you live long, guess what? you cannot stop the wind with your hands. whether pills or procedures are proven or not, there are a whole lot of people who are really obsessed. does it seem a little culty, sometimes, some of this stuff? laughs i think it can. very culty and i try to protect my people against that culty. we try not to let it become that way. there is one issue that none of this can resolve though. in the united states, the single biggest determiner of your life expectancy is your postcode, where you live. and so that is a problem that cannot be engineered. and there are bigger questions over how we may need to work longer, the unexpected diseases that will emerge at these older ages, and our planet is already pretty busy. first thing to consider is these changes that we are talking about are not going to happen tomorrow, they are going to be happening slowly, the same way we have doubled our lifespan over the past 150 years, and we slowly adapted. the reality is we know a lot about the science of ageing. squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. but the big scientific breakthroughs just aren't there yet, so i guess i come away from this feeling more than ever that it is so important to live your healthiest life, just maybe not quite to the extent of brianjohnson. lucky us, we exist. let's play the most fun games we can for as long as we can. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria valentine. our headlines today... 89 people have been killed by wildfires in hawaii — the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. when we find these, you know, ourfamily and ourfriends, the remains we're finding is through a fire that melted metal. there's renewed pressure on the government to stop migrants crossing the channel in small boats after six people drowned. back in the knockout game... anthonyjoshua floors his opponent in the seventh round of his latest fight in london. so what next for the former world heavyweight champion. after another physical match, england asked dealing themselves for a tough semifinal against co—hosts australia in the women's world cup. it launched the careers of stars such as hugh grant but it's last orders at the king's head theatre. good morning. another day of scattered showers coming up. more persistent rain then tonight and tomorrow, particularly for england and wales. but beyond that, it looks set to settle down. i'll have more detail throughout the morning. it's sunday the 13th of august. our main story. 89 people are now confirmed to have died in wildfires in hawaii — making it the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. there are fears this number will rise further, as hundreds are still unaccounted for. with the latest details, here's our us west coast correspondent, sophie long. this is what remains of lahaina. cars abandoned as people ran and jumped into the sea to escape the flames. homes and businesses reduced to charred remains. president biden promised immediate help and said every available asset should be used to provide it, but, days later, people here say it's not yet reaching those most in need and people like felicia are desperately trying to get supplies into lahaina themselves. i'm frustrated. people are... we're all together. we're one family, we need to take care of each other. no—one's feeding everyone. they're traumatised. they're upset. no—one's giving hugs. they need mental help. what do you need for me? to hear people in the same pads since the fire on thursday. kids in the same diapers since thursday. people without food. they haven't drank since before the fire. what are we doing? hundreds of thousands flock to maui's stunning coastline every year and thousands ofjobs here are dependent on tourism, but the jarring contrast between those holidaying and those hurting is difficult to bear with so many still unaccounted for. the same waters that our people just died in three days ago are the same waters the very next day these visitors, tourists were swimming in and that says a lot about where their heart and mind is through all of this and where our heart and mind is through all of this, as well. you don't see our people swimming, snorkelling, surfing. nobody is having fun in tragedy and continuing their lives like nothing has happened. there is two hawaiis right now. there is the hawaii we're living in and the hawaii they're living in, they're visiting in. as search and recovery teams continue their difficult task of sifting through the remains, people queue for hours to get back to what were their homes. confusion is leading to frustration. at 8.30am, we went there. they said, "go to the other side." so we went to the other side and same thing. there's, like, a line and it's not even moving so we came back here. so we got here at 9.30 and it's 12.30 right now. they're not telling us what to do. the cops arejust going back and forth. but the authorities are asking for patience. we know we've got to go quick, but we've got to do it right, so when we pick up the remains and they fall apart... so when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday, and some of you, that's what you're stepping on. i don't know how much more you want me to describe it. that's what you're stepping on. give us a little bit of time to contain that, please. people already know this is the deadliest disaster in hawaii's history and the death toll is still climbing. sophie long, bbc news, maui. we can now speak to sophie long in maui. what sophie long in maui. i was struck by a new piece w the what i was struck by a new piece was the women you spec to commit miss johnson, saying there were two hawaiis now, the one being enjoyed by tourists and the one hit by devastation. the expectation is more bodies will be found. emilia;t devastation. the expectation is more bodies will be found.— bodies will be found. sadly that is the case. bodies will be found. sadly that is the case- the _ bodies will be found. sadly that is the case. the governor— bodies will be found. sadly that is the case. the governor for - bodies will be found. sadly that is | the case. the governor for hawaii, josh green, made it clear they expect the death toll to rise even further. it currently stands at 89 because every time we have an update there seems to come with a new and very sad and distressing headline. we know this is the worst deadliest wildfire in the whole of the united states will more than a century. you referenced the young women i was speaking to. there is a frustration here in hawaii because this is a deeply, deeply distressing time for many people who live in raleigh. it is very difficult to see, if you go to other parts of the island that have not been affected, you come into the airport and he would not necessarily a no anything had happened here. hotels are reliant on the tourism business. people are going to work in hotels and seeing people still coming here on holiday and having a lovely time. it is kind of a surreal situation where you have the island, which is so beautiful, and one part of it has been so devastated. you have seen the pictures, it is amazing what has happened. where peoples homes and businesses are, there are charred remains. they are sifting through the remains and still trying to recover more remains.- the remains and still trying to recover more remains. thank you very much. something _ recover more remains. thank you very much. something that _ recover more remains. thank you very much. something that sophie - recover more remains. thank you very much. something that sophie said - much. something that sophie said earlier, that academy dogs have only so far recovered about 3% of the entire area. probably more news coming out of that in the next few days, sadly. you have some other stories for us. the government is coming under pressure from campaign groups to manage migrants crossing the channel in small boats. six people from afghanistan have died after their vessel got into difficulty off the coast of calais. we'll get the latest in calais with our correspondent, bethany bell. but first ian palmer is in dover. you are saying earlier, a calm day again on the water and therefore fears that more boats might try to make that dangerous crossing. yes. make that dangerous crossing. yes, that is right. — make that dangerous crossing. yes, that is right, roger. _ make that dangerous crossing. yes, that is right, roger. in _ make that dangerous crossing. yes that is right, roger. in the time i last spoke to you can winds had picked up a little. i can no longer see the coastline of france from where i am standing. the peak time for small boat crossings is between full am and 9am. it is unlikely there will be any further crossings today if they are not already in the water. i can feel the wind picking up water. i can feel the wind picking up as i speak. the channel behind me, 600 tankers and 200 ferries a day use that strip of water. as we know, there were two people still missing yesterday after the tragedy. that search was called off yesterday. if it resumes again today, it will be a recovery operation. suella braverman the home secretary has called the incident a tragic loss of life. that is the human tragedy politics, if it can, it is the only thing to solve this. rishi sunak has put his head into the illegal migration bill, which basically says the home secretary has the power to detain and deport anyone who comes into the country illegally. that is where the government is coming under increasing pressure and that is where the government is hoping it will solve this crisis. thank you. from ian in solve this crisis. thank you. from tan in dover— solve this crisis.

were with the victims. we heard late last night from the french coastguard that another boat got into trouble, very close to where i am here in the port of calais. they brought 3a people to the port of dunkirk, bringing them back to shore. this is a problem that aid workers around here have told us that many more migrants seem to be coming to this region in recent weeks and that they are living rough along the coastline. aid workers say they do warn people about the dangers of getting on these boats and the reception that awaits them in the uk but they say it is very difficult to stop them

record waiting lists. he has called for a meeting with his devolved counterparts to discuss the issue. let's get more on this with our political correspondent georgia roberts. they are already trading, not insult so much as our health service is better than you, our waiting lists are in better shape than yours, said they need to work together here. steve buckley presides over the nhs in england. in this letter he is highlighting how in scotland and wales, long—term weights look worse than they do in england. in that spirit he is opening the invitation to them to have patients treated in england. both wales and scotland hitting back on these claims, saying the figures used for the long—term weights presenting them that are better in england are not really comparable. also the pointing out the scottish government has successfully negotiated pay deals with junior doctors avoiding a very strike action at nhs england says is making waiting time so much worse in england. the government had some unwelcome figures this week with waiting times topping 7.5 million people for the first time. strike action did have a big impact on that. this is against a very difficult backdrop in england. saying labour run authorities are no better. saying they are failing the that this issue will be key in the next election. england's lionesses will face host nation australia in the women's world cup in just a few days' time. the european champions secured their place in the semi—final after beating colombia 2—1. our sports reporterjane dougall has been speaking to fans in sydney. she's led them into battle five times and emerged with five victories. now the semifinal beckons for sarina wiegman's lionesses. the morning after england's 2—1win over colombia, these supporters are looking back over another challenging match. just before half—time, columbia scored. was your heart in the pit of your stomach? my first reaction was that was a cross. we'd been dominating. we'd had the headers from russo, we'd had daly, so i wasn't worried, but i thought if we can score before half time we need to, and we did. commentator: walsh. bronze. towards russo. won't quite fall for her. the goalkeeper's lost it! and it's there! it was a scrappy goal. but, you know what? a goal�*s a goal — an equaliser. and i think it came atjust the right time. but the keeper really fumbled it. like, really fumbled it. yeah, just watching it back now, you can see just how much of a scramble that was. commentator: stanway. tries to play in russo! she's done it! when that winner went in, i mean, the stadium felt like it was english again. yeah, absolutely. i think we silenced the colombians. they've been singing around us all evening and i thinkjust to kind of shut them up a little bit and get our time to shine and who else would you want it to be except russo? she's been working hard all tournament. i think it really paid off there. we've seen how they've performed, especially against france, how determined they were and how resilient, as well. have you got any concerns going into this match? i'm not concerned. they've got 120 minutes in their legs now, and we've only gone for 90 minutes, so i think we've got kind of that edge. home tournament, but i think we've shown we've got resilience as well to come through and we like an upset down in england, so it will be good to see them silence the country! this will be the third world cup semifinal that england have played in, but for australia it's a first and these fans say that the experience and tenacity of the lionesses will give them the edge. jane dougall, bbc news, sydney. we can speak now to jane. england will have to do it the hard wary, because australia will have most of the crowd behind them. more most of the crowd behind them. mary ears said most of the crowd behind them. mary earps said the — most of the crowd behind them. mary earps said the best _ most of the crowd behind them. mary earps said the best is _ most of the crowd behind them. .— earps said the best is yet to come from england. she had better be right that it will be tough playing australia in their own back yard with the majority of the stadium cheering them on. we select when they played in brisbane yesterday against france, how much the 12 player help to get them over the line. australia is the only country to have beaten sarina wiegman's side under her management. she went on a 30 match unbeaten run. that was broken by australia. a little bit nerve—racking. england fans are really confident. they feel they can't just really confident. they feel they can'tjust beat really confident. they feel they can't just beat australia really confident. they feel they can'tjust beat australia in the semifinal, they can go on to the final and win that as well. that confidence comes from the fact they know quite a lot australian players because several of them always play in the wsl, the women's super league. a lot of the english players know how they play as well. they include mary fowler, hayley russell and sam care for chelsea. she is the australian super striker. she has been injured so england fans will hoping she is not on form for this match. so much has been thrown at england but this tournament already. they feel it does not matter with what australia present them with, they can overcome. brute what australia present them with, they can overcome.— they can overcome. we will be countin: they can overcome. we will be counting down _ they can overcome. we will be counting down for _ they can overcome. we will be counting down for the - they can overcome. we will be counting down for the next - they can overcome. we will be | counting down for the next few they can overcome. we will be - counting down for the next few days, thatis counting down for the next few days, that is visual. thank you very much indeed. life for us in sydney. she covered up her australian coloured top. strictlyjudge shirley ballas has completed a sky—dive as part of a trio of challenges, which also included a zipline and a 700ft wing walk. we spoke to her earlier on in the programme this week. she completed the jump from 15,000 feet, to raise money for the suicide prevention charity calm, after her brother took his own life in 2003. it is fantastic, isn't it? shirley will be in the studio tomorrow to talk all about her challenge. didn't she do well?! amazing. you have one shot at doing that. she did the lovely talk to camera. this one is for david, her brother. if you are wondering what it is going to be like today, the weather. you can see the rain coming down from the clouds in the distance as the sun are starting to rise. there will be some sunshine, as i am saying. there will also be showers around. as yesterday, the same area of low pressure that brought to the rather turbulent weather yesterday is still anchored to the north—west of the uk. here in the north—west, scotland and northern ireland we will see the mess lengthy showers. it is creeping in full tonight. on the latest radar picture you see the outbreaks in the showers and cloud scattered around. they are almost possible anywhere. later in the day they may well ease across wales and they may well ease across wales and the south—west as the next weather front approaches. further north they could be quite intense with hail and rumbles of thunder. the when is our notch down on yesterday. a fresh breeze. it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. all change overnight time for england and wales. really wet through parts of wales, south—west england, midlands, the north of england by the time we get to the morning. muggy with all the rain around, potentially than gerry rain. we reverse the roles tomorrow as we go into the start of the new week with sunny spells and showers to scotland and northern ireland. quite persistent rain for a few hours across parts of england and wales. not a great start to the week but there is drier and warmer weather in the forecast as we head towards mid week on but it may not last until the weekend. back to you. thank you very much indeed. it's a nerve wracking time for thousands of students in england, wales and northern ireland, who will receive their a—level and btec results on thursday. it's really imporant that students get the right advice on the day, especially for those with unexpected grades, as they work out what to do next. amy cole has been finding out how clearing advisers are being trained. they take people who have not quite got there grades and try to help them with university places. hello. university college, birmingham clearing hotline. how can i help? a bit of role play to prepare for the special role he'll play on thursday. can i ask what qualifications you have? a—level biology... jordan frith works at university college birmingham in customer relations, but he's currently being trained to use the software that will enable him to help prospective students when they call to discuss courses after receiving their a—level or btec results. the day will be pressured and he wants to be well equipped to handle it. ultimately, we are advisers as well. we want it to be the right fit for the student, and depending on their grades, their qualifications, they might not have explored other opportunities. and we're here as experts to really provide that knowledge for them and hopefully make them make the best decision. the group is being trained by amber page, who's been involved in the clearing process here for ten years. we are expecting a busy clearing and as a result of that we've got multiple staff across the university, various different departments coming together to work on the clearing hotline. so taking calls from prospective students. and they have a range of expertise across the university. ucb accepts a lot of students from schools and colleges and mature students, too. it's known for offering more vocational courses, such as nursing or construction, and appeals to a range of people from all kinds of backgrounds. there's almost always something we can offer them, whether that's to start on a foundation degree, which is a two—year course, that's the same as the first two years of an undergraduate degree, but gives students a slightly gentler introduction. it also gives them an opportunity to step off after two years if they want, but then, if they want to, they can continue and do their final year and top up and get a full degree. we also have options for students to start at college level if they're not quite ready for university. you just relax your arm. try not to speak, and just relax. here, a lesson is taking place for nursing students in one of the mock hospital wards. the degree is rigorous and involves placements. for one second year mature student, the help she gets from ucb is vital. i'm having a lot of financial support with my childcare costs, which is one of the biggest costs as a parent, especially when you have to come to university. i've also had a lot of academic support, so with assignments and helped me to research the kind of books because if you've not been in education for a while, then that can be quite challenging. back to the training room, and i'll leave you with this important piece of advice from lauren askey. whichever course it is that you're considering, if it's something new to what you've previously applied for, just make sure that you go through that course in detail. and if you're offered to have maybe an appointment with somebody to talk through the course in more detail to take it, because the academics can really help you as well. good luck. amy cole, bbc news. ucas is the organisation which administers university applications. their chief executive joins us. start of a very busy week for you. you have probably seen all the results. what is your best piece of advice to somebody who does not get what they are hoping for? the advice to somebody who does not get what they are hoping for?— what they are hoping for? the first thin to what they are hoping for? the first thing to say _ what they are hoping for? the first thing to say is _ what they are hoping for? the first thing to say is the _ what they are hoping for? the first thing to say is the vast _ what they are hoping for? the first thing to say is the vast majority i thing to say is the vast majority will get their first choice when it comes to thursday. my advice for those who do not get quite what they expected, or change their mind and we do see increasing numbers who have changed their minds. do a bit of research, try to spend a bit of time even before thursday doing research and having a plan b. then, after clearing opens at one o'clock on thursday, be pretty quick off the mark to then get in touch with the university. as your last expert showed, there is so much support available, both at ucas and individual institutions as well. interesting you say opens at one o'clock on thursday. already some universities, correct me if i am wrong, our advertising they have places in clearing. it is not too early to start make a plan. thursday is the day you _ early to start make a plan. thursday is the day you can — early to start make a plan. thursday is the day you can add _ early to start make a plan. thursday is the day you can add a _ early to start make a plan. thursday is the day you can add a clearing - is the day you can add a clearing choice if you did not get your first choice. the vast majority will get their first choices. they did last year we expect them to this year. there are 28,000 courses in clearance, a huge variety of courses. students applied sometimes backin courses. students applied sometimes back in january. courses. students applied sometimes back injanuary. between courses. students applied sometimes back in january. between january and now you might rethink the course, you might rethink the place you want to study. there are lots of digital tools available to you in clearing. clearing has transformed rapidly in the last five to ten years. will lots of people on social media and very lines to help you, both at ucas and across the country.— and across the country. interesting ou make and across the country. interesting you make that _ and across the country. interesting you make that point. _ and across the country. interesting you make that point. victoria - you make that point. victoria essentially has a interest in the process to share, in my household. you talked about changing lives. some people might think about having a gap year. is that a good thing for people to do if they think about changing their minds? it is people to do if they think about changing their minds?- changing their minds? it is all about the _ changing their minds? it is all about the individual— changing their minds? it is all about the individual and - changing their minds? it is all about the individual and the i changing their minds? it is all. about the individual and the right choice for them. some people might want to take a gap year. we know from the studies we had done the students way back in the spring is actually a large percentage, 97% are very confident about progressing to higher education this year. that is really encouraging. we know the return to external exams is something they broadly welcome. the vast majority will want to progress. if the gap year feels right, year out travelling or working is right for you, then take that. we also know students are increasingly interested in apprenticeships with the non—undergraduate route is gaining a lot of traction as well. they are talking about a dropout rate of perhaps 30% in the sunday times from some degree courses for the covid generation, for want of a better phrase, people who decided what they are doing at university is not quite for them, maybe they are struggling to keep up. is that something you are seeing reflected? we are certainly focused on this cohort going through now. when we talk about the covid generation, we have to remember this cohort which makes up two results on thursday, it is the first set of external exams they have set it back i sat. we know they have set it back i sat. we know the return of normal grading. our job is to support them. the biggest factor in making sure they are retained at university and come out with good outcomes is really informing that choice on thursday, if they are looking to go somewhere ask whether they absolutely understand everything about the course, as your previous person said in admissions. talking to an academic is a really good way to do that. there are lots of places when in clearing open days on saturday or sunday, so perhaps make an opportunity to visit a university. have a really well informed choice. you want to really enjoy your three, four years, you want to really enjoy your three, fouryears, both you want to really enjoy your three, four years, both the place and the modules you are studying. that is the key to having a successful experience. the key to having a successful experience-— the key to having a successful exerience. ., ~ ., ., ~ ., experience. thank you for talking to us this morning. _ experience. thank you for

without a gap year. interesting. let's return now to our main story, which is the devastation in hawaii caused by wildfires. lahaina, one of the worst place affected is a popular destination. alessia zerbinati was on a family holiday close to lahaina — she's just returned home to reading and joins us now. thank you so much forjoining us. we really appreciate you coming on the programme. you are staying in a hotel with your young son and with your husband. at what point did you realise you are in danger? thank noodness realise you are in danger? thank goodness we _ realise you are in danger? thank goodness we were... _ realise you are in danger? thank goodness we were... it - realise you are in danger? thank goodness we were... it was - realise you are in danger? thank goodness we were... it was not i goodness we were... it was not immediate danger because the wind at the time was blowing in the opposite direction as to the hotel, so the fire was spreading towards lahaina. we were only three to four miles away from the actual town. we realised straightaway. the wind that picked up on monday already, by tuesday morning we woke up without power in the hotel. and there were small contained fires at the time. at around small contained fires at the time. ataround 2:30pm, small contained fires at the time. at around 2:30pm, we were due to leave to go to the airport and we started to see a huge cloud of black smoke rising from literallyjust where the town was. and we realised that the situation was not contained a new fire had spread and then the flames started by late afternoon towards like five p m, 6pm. it was bad, really bad. we knew from tuesdayit bad, really bad. we knew from tuesday it was not a situation of stay calm, stay calm, stay put, we needed to find a way out that there was no way out. the phone lines were down, we could not get in touch with the airlines, so it was distressful because of that. we were not in a threatening situation in terms of the fire coming towards us. we were lookin: at the fire coming towards us. we were looking at the _ the fire coming towards us. we were looking at the pictures _ the fire coming towards us. we were looking at the pictures you _ the fire coming towards us. we were looking at the pictures you shot - looking at the pictures you shot from the hotel and also from your evacuation. how was that evacuation process handled? the roads cannot have been open to private vehicles. how did you manage to escape? so by wednesday evening, _ how did you manage to escape? so by wednesday evening, sort _ how did you manage to escape? sr 3 wednesday evening, sort of how did you manage to escape? sr 31 wednesday evening, sort of late afternoon, the hotel was telling us there was no more food left. they were already rationing portions from tuesday evening. we didn't get breakfast on wednesday morning. it was quite tough, especially with the young child. i am four months pregnant as well. they realised they had no more food. at that point the military intervened and we were supported. they sent buses to the hotel. the hotel staff were amazing, i cannot stress that enough. we were staying at the sheraton. the people had returned there, they were at a8 hours straight. they had lost all their homes. however their priority was for us to be safe. they loaded us, they helped us onto the buses and then we had the federal agents in a car at the front and at the back of the buses and they drove us through the town. the reason why they escorted us... the roads were deserted. it was not like there was any traffic or anything. cars were in flames left on the side of the road. buildings were still going up in flames at that point. electrical poles were knocked down. it is complete devastation grant nothing i could have imagined, really. just thinkin: could have imagined, really. just thinking about the stuff you mentioned, the staff, the people who have been left behind the people who help to you. they may have lost family and aims. you are home with yourfamily, talking to family and aims. you are home with your family, talking to us from working. do you feel guilty? absolutely. that is a main feeling we have been feeling. when you watch something on the news, it has happened. we have seen war zones and natural disasters happening all over the world. i have neverfelt guilty because i was not there, i didn't escape. this time when we left, yes, we are safe, but you cannot help but to feel guilt, that is the only thing we are feeling at the moment. we are trying to find a way to help with funds to donate that ultimately there are years to come before they can actually put their lives back together and that is what is really tearing us apart at the moment. {lister tearing us apart at the moment. over the course of — tearing us apart at the moment. over the course of our _ tearing us apart at the moment. over the course of our interview, i think i have detected a few times your voice wavering a little bit. it is clearly a very emotional thing and an upsetting thing to have gone through. how are you coping? how is yourfamily doing, your young

he is associating that. guilt is the main feeling. we find ourselves having flashbacks of what happened. yes, guilt is the main feeling at the moment. this is bbc news. the headlines: we not have this interminable wait with nothing to fill the gap. australia and their home support will offer another challenge to overcome. the co—hosts in sydney is england's reward for beating colombia in their quarterfinal. the lionesses fell behind for the first time this tournament. keeper mary earps caught out by this from colombia's leicy santos. an equaliser before half—time would have been wanted and it came in the eighth minute of first—half injury time. lauren hemp, making the most of a goalkeeping error and defensive mix up to score. the winner from alessia russo came in the second half. england holding on to win 2—1 matching their best achievement at a world cup in reaching the finalfour. it is really exciting. today was like an away game too. now we are going to play them and we're all excited to play them. for them, of course, it will be special as well. it will be full of australian people and hopefully some england fans too. we will see what happens. anthonyjoshua could be on course for a lucrative fight against another former heavyweight champion deontay wilder after winning his latest contest with a seventh round knockout in london, but it wasn't a perfect night forjoshua, who was also booed by the crowd during the fight with robert helenius. steve bunce was at the 02 for the bbc and has got up for us this morning. steve, we'll start with the knockout. the the sort of power that madejoshua famous. that is why people love heavyweights. they are the biggest division and they tend to do what anthonyjoshua did last night. after a minute and 27 seconds of round seven he delivered what 17,500 seven he delivered what17,500 people had paid for. 80,000 at wembley, that is what they pay for. a big man delivering a big punch. it was a vintage horrible knockout. iloathe was a vintage horrible knockout. why the brain? it— was a vintage horrible knockout. why the brain? it is— was a vintage horrible knockout. why the brain? it is because this equivocation at the moment about anthonyjoshua pass my career. we are not quite sure what we think about them at the moment. joshua is not cuite about them at the moment. joshua is not quite sure — about them at the moment. joshua is not quite sure what _ about them at the moment. joshua is not quite sure what it _ about them at the moment. joshua is not quite sure what it thinks - about them at the moment. joshua is not quite sure what it thinks about i not quite sure what it thinks about himself, that's the truth! i could tell when i spoke to him last week it didn't really know. i would ask him a question and say, where are you at the moment, he would say, i don't know, we will find it on saturday. they only booed for ten seconds and they were pantomime style blues. that is probably why right at the very end, with robert helenius stretched out, instead of doing an interview in the ring, he left the ring, touch gloves with a couple of hundred fans. it was odd, but the same time very nice. anthony joshua has held _ but the same time very nice. anthony joshua has held world _ but the same time very nice. anthony joshua has held world titles, - but the same time very nice. anthony joshua has held world titles, then - joshua has held world titles, then losers, there is those... to path back, it is about strategising away back, it is about strategising away back to the top. anthonyjoshua has been doing that for a little while. where is he on the path?- been doing that for a little while. where is he on the path? when he lost last summer _ where is he on the path? when he lost last summer in _ where is he on the path? when he lost last summer in saudi - where is he on the path? when he lost last summer in saudi arabia i where is he on the path? when he i lost last summer in saudi arabia for the second time he was a broken man. we had a few months away, trains in dallas with a new trainer and he said at the end of last year i need a couple of fights then i'm ready for a big one. a couple of fights then i'm ready fora big one. he a couple of fights then i'm ready for a big one. he has not had a couple of fights at the o2 and he has a fight signed and sealed and dusted, i assure you, mid—january, in saudi arabia, a nontitle fight against deontay wilder. this fight might make him, he might earn more in this fight than any british fighter has ever made from one fight. some people can talk about this path back, some people can talk about him might being finished. his bank account tells you something totally different. 50 bank account tells you something totally different.— totally different. so still box office. steve, _ totally different. so still box office. steve, having - totally different. so still box | office. steve, having watched anthonyjoshua and so many heavyweights over the years, what did you learn from him, notjust last night but over the course of his two defeats that makes you confident he will get back? i’m his two defeats that makes you confident he will get back? i'm not so confident _ confident he will get back? i'm not so confident he _ confident he will get back? i'm not so confident he will— confident he

confident he will get back. i'm confident he will get the fight. there is a massive difference between him getting back and getting back successfully. i'm not absolutely sure he will get back to what he was in the past, but it will be an interesting journey. i think he is still fighting unbelievable demons. when you are told your untouchable, when you have sponsors coming from all over, and then in a six fight period you lose three times, including getting knocked out in new york, that causes a bit of conflict inside. he has to sort out the conflict inside before he can get into the ring and produce what i will call classic, vintagejoshua. thank you very much indeed, steve. there hasn't been a home winner of the women's open for five years, but britain's charley hull shares the lead heading into the final round of the women's open. round of the women's open. hull lives just half—an—hour away from the walton heath course and she's nine—under par alongside american lilia vu. hull hit six birdies in her third round 68. i hit my driver really good. apart from the last hole where it was gusting and almost had me on tiptoes. it was a good par. good momentum going to the final round. the main thing was to keep in there, strike it well. yeah, i had a good finish. i'm confident and looking forward to going home and having a bath. england could be without captain owen farrell for their opening rugby world cup match aganst argentina after he received a red card in the 19—17 warm up win over wales at twickenham. farrell was given a yellow card for a high tackle, which was later upgraded to red in the new review system. a george ford penalty later secured victory for england and brought their three—match losing streak to an end. elsewhere, a late thomas ramos penalty saw france edge past scotland 30—27 in saint—etienne. scotland's final world cup warm—up match is against georgia in two weeks' time. a historic day of rugby league lived up to its billing at wembley yesterday. for the first time, both the men's and women's challenge cup finals took place at the stadium and, after st helens beat leeds rhinos in the women's match, leigh leopards won their first challenge cup for 52 years, beating hull kr on the golden point. adam wild was watching. for these fans, the journey has been long, the wait even longer. here was their moment perhaps. since changing their name and colours to leopards, leigh are a club that have found their roar. rovers were making plenty of noise themselves, and when they went in to score the opening try, they felt a moment a long time in the making. the leopards wouldn't be quiet for long. a passing move saw them levelled again. a contest worthy of the occasion. it was the leopards that pounced. tom briscoe finding space where no—one else could. still, it was time for more drama. this kick evaded everyone. the video replays seemed to take an age. try. brad schneider kicking rovers level with just seconds remaining. after all these years, both sides would have to hang on a little longer. golden point, the first to score. a goal to seal astonishing glory. after decades of waiting, of dreaming, rugby league's most famous prize finally belongs to leigh again. history too for the women and before a ball was even kicked. a first final at wembley as symbolic as it is significant for the sport. st helen's and leeds an old rivalry on a new stage. a determination to get here, the saints' tara jones a determination to get there. that, the first of three quick tries, ebony partington building a commanding half—time lead. but back came the rhinos. caitlin beevers has been to wembley before as a referee. here she was storming through to give leeds hope. that, though, dashed. there would be no comeback. they became the first women's side to win a challenge cup and wembley, the sport grows, the stage grows, the challenge cup remains as big as ever. spurs will play their first game since the departure of harry kane this afternoon. it's at brentford. after leaving in search of trophies, kane drew a blank on his bayern munich debut last night. the england captain came off the bench early in the second—half in the german super cup against rb leipzig, despite only signing for his new club the same day. a win would have meant the first silverware of kane's career, but bayern were beaten 3—0. you might know that harry kane's one of the biggest nfl fans in football. well, now here's an american sporting star who's a new fan of soccer. tom brady is involved with the new owners of birmingham city and surprised fans by popping into a nearby pub yesterday. the seven—time super bowl champion turned up at the roost, outside st andrew's stadium, before their game against leeds. he went on to watch a 1—0 win alongside new chairman tom wagner. the fans got me pretty energised i think sports bring so many people together from all over the world and from us to travel from the world and from us to travel from the united states here to see the turnout and see these amazing groups of people come together to celebrate the game in the sport, it is something i've been enjoying my entire life and that is what i envisage my future being. he knows how to play the media game, tom brady. the greatest of all time, the most successful quarterback in history, i think. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. this is a lovely sunrise this morning in northumberland. thank you for sending this morning. lots of higher—level cloud there. we do have quite a bit of cloud with us again this morning. it is sunny spells and showers because once again we have low pressure with us sat towards the north—west. it has been with us for much ofjuly and august, low pressure, and we have another little wrinkle of low pressure coming back into the south—west later. it is a scattering of showers today, some of which will be heavy. some sunny spells. but that will just encourage the showers to be bigger. at this time of year there is a lot of strength in the sunshine so they could be some intense downpours. the winds are a notch down under yesterday. it is still breezy out there. quite a bit of cloud around, as you can imagine, because we have two areas of low pressure. this one is coming in through the night. it looks quite wet in parts of wales and northern england. heavy bursts of rain further south. a mild and foggy nights. for scotland and northern ireland tomorrow, although the low pressure is still with us, it is showers here. look at this band of rain. it looks as if it will give quite a soaking to some parts of northern england dan way is before it finally starts to clear out of the way along brighter skies into the afternoon. temperatures where they are today, really. average for the time of year. moving forward, that area of low pressure does finally clear out of the way. tuesdayit does finally clear out of the way. tuesday it is to close by so it will bring a few showers, but the winds will ease down. the showers will be quite slow moving on tuesday but some lengthier dry spells and then something a little bit drier and warmer through the week, but the weekend again at the moment is looking like we are bringing low pressure back in, so certainly something to watch. you may remember when parts of the uk first introduced charges for single—use carrier bags, in the effort to reduce plastic pollution. well, a new government scheme launching in england in october is hoping to reduce waste even further, by banning the sale of some single—use plastics altogether. wales was first to introduce a 5p charge for single use carrier bags, back in 2010. northern ireland followed suit in 2013, and have now upped the price to 25p. scotland bought in the 5p charge in 201a, its now increased to 10p per bag. but england's 5p bag charge wasn't introduced until october 2015, and at first it only applied to large retailers. then, in 2021, the charge was extended to all businesses our reporter gemma dawson has been to find out how the changes have impacted people's day—to—day lives. when it comes to shopping bags, you either need to bring them from home or buy them. have you brought your bags with you? yes. some of our bags are about eight years old? oh, yeah. i normally always bring my own bag. nine and ten times they break halfway home. i don't drive, so when i walk, i get halfway home and then itjust splits. get a trolley. you can reuse it time and time again without causing any litter. so we've had six this week, we had four last week. - at the seafront i meet lianne from the local beach clean—up team. she says the number of plastic bags yhey�*re picking up is going down. they're picking up is going down. i think they've dropped over the last couple of years, - generally, the plastic bags. it has been a good thing - they brought in the charges. it has decreased their use and we're finding less. . england has become the last part of the uk to introduce a mandatory charge for the use of plastic bags. since the charge was first introduced, usage has dropped by more than 98% at seven of the leading supermarket chains, according to new government figures, but environmental campaigners point out the stats don't include bags for life. you all right packing? they call them bags for life, don't they? but i must have two dozen of them in the boot of the car. they should call them bags for the drive home! back in sutton—on—sea, some retailers are trying to make a difference. at the beach shop they stopped giving out practic bags altogether. to be honest, we've never really been in favour of plastic bags because they blow everywhere and you, know, the beach is literally feet away, but now it's just paper. generally, they're not the highest amount of plastic pollution any more. they were. maybe up to two years ago we had a very big, high content of plastic bags, but it has gone down. lianne now hopes october's ban on single—use items such as plates and cutlery will have similar results, but when it comes to bags, it's better to pack them rather than pay for more. gemma dawson, bbc news. it's last orders tonight for a london pub and performance venue that has helped launch the careers of actors like hugh grant, joanna lumley and richard e grant. the king's head was established in 1970 and is thought to be one of the oldest pub theatres in england. let's take a look back as its history. the king's head has helped launch the careers of some of britain's biggest actors. the concept of pub theatre is nothing new. in shakespearean times it would have been the norm, but determined to revive the tradition, dan crawford and his wife stephanie opened up a small theatre space in a back room behind the bar in the 1970s. today, it plays host to everything from musicals to opera, drag to comedy and several of his productions have even made it to the west end. a goodbye gal takes to stay on this very stage, but it is not the final curtain call for the theatre as it will be moving to a bigger venue very soon. we can speak now to avid audience member turned creative director david cumming and sofi beringer, who is currently the senior producer at the king's head. good morning to you both. thank you forjoining us. firstly, why the move, why is it moving? i forjoining us.

seating capacity at 200 seats, and we will have a second 50 seat cabaret venue and be able to operate our own bars again. ultimately, the scale of work we are able to put on and the sustainable ecology we can get back to our artist and the public and the type of work we will put on will change significantly by moving, so there is a lot of opportunity but it is bittersweet to say about are

is under renewed pressure to stop migrants crossing the sea in small boats, after six people drowned in the channel. hello, i'm anjana gadgil. we start in hawaii, where the governor is warning of a "significant" rise in the death toll following devastating wildfires on the island of maui. 89 people are now confirmed dead, as recovery crews continue to comb through the charred ruins of burnt—out homes and businesses. the historic town of lahaina — the worst—hit part of the island — has been razed almost entirely to the ground. hundreds of people are still unaccounted for, days after the fires broke out. many people forced to flee at a moment's notice had to leave everything behind. hawaii's attorney general has announced an investigation into why the island's warning siren didn't sound at the height of the emergency. questions are also being asked about whether power to the island should have been cut. for more, here's our correspondent in hawaii, sophie long.
