that simply wasn't made to last. raac was a postwar solution, now causing a headache for 21st—century britain. more than 100 schools in britain have been told they need to close. labour has announced it will force the government to reveal a complete list of affected schools, and now calls for transparency on the scale of the problem and for fast solutions. it's been known for a while and what we have also known for a while is there is a squeeze on school funding, and my committee has highlighted that repeatedly, and my committee has highlighted that and when you don't invest in maintenance and improvements in schools you get these problems arising but with raac it's a systemic failure of the actual material used to build them. hospital buildings and court buildings among those impacted and internal documents obtained by the sunday times suggest hospitals could be at risk of catastrophic collapse. the concerns about this have been swirling around for so long. trusts have been trying to cope with the safety risk associated with raac for a long time, and really to remedy the situation, action can't come too soon. the department for education said it was vital that schools are given time to inform parents and consider their next steps and it was grateful to school and college leaders for their work to make sure that disruption is kept toa minimum. the department of health and social care also said that the nhs has a mitigation plan in place for hospital buildings with confirmed raac, and that it remained committed to eradicating raac from the nhs estate entirely by 2035. schools in scotland, wales and northern ireland are also being assessed. in scotland, raac has been detected in 35 schools, but first minister humza yousaf said he has no plans to use close any schools in the short term. the problem is there's no exact record of where raac was used. it's this failure, some argue, that means that some buildings remain unsound. frances read, bbc news. will

went back a few weeks ago but summer is definitely arriving this week. a lovely day yesterday with some sunshine and this morning, we have some mist and murkiness out there, dense fog patches in places but that will clear away and after a murky start there will be some warm sunshine into this afternoon. 0ne sunshine into this afternoon. one exception to that and you can see this on the satellite, the area of cloud affecting the far north of scotland. that will bring breaks of range of the northern isles as well and that cloud will bring this weather front, and that cloud will bring this weatherfront, sticking and that cloud will bring this weather front, sticking around and that cloud will bring this weatherfront, sticking around over the next few days in the far north of scotland but for most of us, higher pressure is dominating the weather for the next few days. mist and fog initially this morning, lifting and clearing and some sunshine for a time but then into the afternoon, for most parts of england, wales, northern ireland, and for most of scotland, some warm and for most of scotland, some warm and sunny spells and temperatures up to 24 and sunny spells and temperatures up to 2a in aberdeen but where you have the cloud, a bit of rain and breeze in the north—west of scotland, 15— 18 degrees. through tonight, there could be some isolated mist orfog forming and we still have the cloud affecting the far north of scotland and outbreaks of rain in the northern isles, temperatures generally getting down to about 11— 14 generally getting down to about 11— 1a degrees. some parts of northern england could get down to single figures so a chilly start first thing on monday. but that will clear away quickly on monday and there will be lots of sunshine once again. the blue skies but the far north of scotland that will have the cloud and a bit more of a breeze here is the temperature is 16— 18 degrees but turning warmer on monday. look at that, 26 in aberdeen, 22 in belfast but widely across england and wales, 24—27, 20 eight celsius. tuesday, well, more of the same. early mist and fog and some odd showers towards the south—west and some coastal fog around the northeast of england but as you can see i'm really picking out the minor features. foremost, it will be sunny and temperatures up into the mid and even high 20s towards tuesday afternoon. the rest of the week, high pressure still dominates things and low pressure down to the south—west around iberia but the high pressure keeps things pretty settled and with the south and south—easterly airflow, that will bring even higher temperatures and actually more humidity. you may notice those overnight temperatures will be quite high and certainly from wednesday to thursday with potential for temperatures up to 30 celsius in some southern areas of the uk, even further north looking very fair. two mothers whose children died after getting into trouble in the water off

these days in the premier league talk about how many goals there were in total, but particularly this time around it is the goal is provided by three players. three hat tricks, only once before in early castries —— in premier league history. i have gone back to the 1800s. i didn't have the time. but there is only one other occasion where this has happened before. three players, each getting a hat—trick on the same day. you have might not have heard of evan fergus... have might not have heard of evan fer us. .. , , , have might not have heard of evan feruus... , , , fergus... the irish side

one, chelsea's indifferent start goes on. they were booed off after being beaten 1—0 by nottingham forest at stamford bridge, new signing anthony elanga with his first goal for forest. now, it's not often that rangers and celtic go into an old firm derby with neither top of the scottish premiership, but that's the case for the first league meeting of the two this season. that was at lunchtime today. st mirren's draw at livingston yesterday has them top instead, but the winners at ibrox will definitely replace them, and for rangers, a chance to respond after failing to reach the champions league in midweek. a massive game for us. for us to try and achieve, chance put down a marker and it is always an aim that you want to do as a team in the club so all the things are there for us send go and do as well as we can. it was generally a day of disappointment for the british players at the us open in new york with only jack draper now left in the singles. the others couldn't make it

wildcard michael challenged him, but he came through. he may be british tennis�*s future, starting next week. patrick gearey, bbc news. chris eubankjr gained revenge over liam smith last night, beating him by a technical knockout in round 10 of their middleweight rematch. eubank knocked smith down twice in the fourth round at the manchester arena, and although he wasn't able to capitalise immediately, the referee stopped the fight when eubank did it again in the tenth. smith won the first fight between the two back injanuary. i was the underdog. everyone thought i was the underdog. everyone thought i was the underdog. everyone thought i was going to get knocked out. everyone thought i was finished. i see people online saying i am sharp, i'm too old, i don't want it anymore. yeah, i couldn't let that... i couldn't let that be, i couldn't let that slide. england's women had never lost a t20 to sri lanka before yesterday, but the first defeat was a heavy one with the series now tied at 1—1 heading into wednesday's decider. batting first, england slumped to 104 all out in 18 overs. 0nly charlie dean scoring more than 1a. sri lanka had no problem chasing their target, reaching it in the 14th over with eight wickets in hand, and england captain heather knight admitting they'd been served some humble pie. max verstappen will be aiming to win a record—breaking 10th grand prix in a row later when he takes to the grid for the italian grand prix. but he won't be on pole. instead, that position was taken by ferrari's carlos sainz qualifying much to the delight of the monza crowd. sainz snatched top spot from verstappen byjust one hundredth of a second. england's matt fitzpatrick will take a two—shot lead into the final day of the european masters golf. should he hold on to win, it'll be his first victory since being crowned us 0pen champion last summer. fitzpatrick will also replace tommy fleetwood in one of the two remaining automatic qualifying places for europe's ryder cup team if he finishes sixth or higher. warrington have waited since may for back—to—back superleague victories. but they eventually did it in fine style yesterday, scoring 11 tries in a win over castleford. warrington ran out 66—12, which keeps them on course for a play—off spot, while castleford are two points off the bottom. elsewhere, leeds rhinos beat hull fc. there was a great finish to stage eight of the vuelta a espana as three—time champion primoz roglic won his first stage of this year's race. he overtook remco evenepoel in a sprint finish to claim victory on the 103—mile stage. american sepp kuss finished seventh to replace lenny martinez as the leader in the general classification standings, opening up a 43—second overall advantage. three more premier league games today, i'm not entirely sure i can guarantee you three hat tricks in those three games, but arsenal versus manchester united is a highlight. it's time now for this cultural life withjohn wilson talking to filmmaker ken loach. ken loach, britain's foremost politically engaged film—maker. his work explores issues of socialjustice, freedom and power and has twice won him the prestigious palme d'0r at the cannes film festival — in 2006 for the wind that shakes the barley, and ten years later for i, daniel blake, a contemporary british story about unemployment and poverty. go back to your desk and let her sign on and do the job that the taxpayer pays you for. this is a bloody disgrace. in this episode of this cultural life, the radio 4 podcast, he reveals his formative influences and experiences, and how at the age of 86, he's still as fired up as ever. there's an anger. is there? i think that's what drives you. well, you can't see it happen... you can't see it happen and be indifferent, you know, you can't. if there's something that puts fuel in the tank, it's seeing hope destroyed, you know? camera crew's ready. i think in my acting days, i did a tiny bit of bbc radio. camera crew's ready. i think in my acting days, i did a tiny bit of bbc radio. oh, you did? it might have been in this very studio some 60—odd years ago. really, here? fantastic. well, we've got to dig those performances from the vault. i can't think what it was. it was something. ken loach, welcome to this cultural life. it's a great pleasure to come. and good to see you. you, too. you were born in 1936. you grew up in the midlands. tell me about your family. what did your parents do? my father was an electrical engineer. took his apprenticeship in the mines. the whole family, my father's family were miners from the warwickshire coalfields, and he worked at alfred herbert's machine tool factory all his life. ao—odd years. skilled worker, then? yes, a skilled worker. electrician. and he had a work ethic that was formidable. he worked seven days a week. and my mother had been a hairdresser, but like women of that time, it was a matter of pride for my father that she should not have to work. but...lovely woman, very kind. what sort of cultural upbringing did you have at home? well, it was a very normal, i guess, suburban house, semi—detached, in nuneaton. erm... cinemas nearby? there were cinemas, but we didn't go as a family. i was never very interested in the cinema. i was more interested in theatre. was it that the films didn't appeal, the sort of thing that was being shown? itjust didn't attract me. i mean, i cared passionately about the theatre from having been in the school play the tempest at age 11, as a nymph or something. and i don't know, i just got the bug. there was a rep company that came to nuneaton three days a week, this is the late �*40s, early �*50s, and it's... ..it became what i was obsessed by. on this cultural life, i ask my guest to nominate the people, places, the experiences, the works, cultural works that have had a direct influence on their own creativity. and your first choice is perhaps surprising. you've nominated a week that you spent in blackpool in the 1940s, seeing variety shows on the pier. who did you see? yes, once a year. we went for a week in blackpool and blackpool was at its height. this is the, the late �*40s, we might have gone, even gone during the war, i don't remember. it was the great comics of the time, jewel and warriss, ethel revnell and gracie west, nat jackley, albert modley and donald peers, the singer. it was a great experience. it was the highlight of the year, but the great comic was frank randle. frank randle was scurrilous. he was a little fella, wiry little fella, and he had two or three characters. they were sketches, rather, it wasn't stand—up, it was sketches, and he'd be a vulgar old man. he'd take his teeth out. and it was... it was bawdy humour. it was, it was risque for the time. but by today's standards, it wouldn't be seen as... it'd be seen as very tame. but he was a great comic. your name? clutterbuck. jeremiah clutterbuck. aye. now, listen, jerry. jerry? mrjerry, if you don't mind, i i have a handle to my name. so sorry, mr buttercluck. clutterbuck, shuttlecock. i'll stand the whole book from thee! i i was only saying mr cluckinghen, erm... my name is cattletruck, erm, chutterpluck, i'll have no - more of this. calm yourself. 0h! he would generate laughter that was extraordinary. my father would be weeping with laughter. and my mother too. for a kid, it was, it wasjust overwhelming, erm... ..and just the joy of it. and i think that, that does stay with you. and i've worked with comics a lot, and i think it stems from that, thatjust enjoyment of seeing a full house rock with laughter. seeing what it's like to get a reaction on a stage, did it, did that, were you tempted by performance to work on the stage yourself? oh, i was desperate. i mean, the other big influence was going to stratford—on—avon, we lived 30 miles from stratford. i used to cycle to stratford with friends or on my own, cycle to stratford in an evening and cycle back at midnight, having seen the great plays and the great actors of the time, 0livier or gielgud or michael redgrave or all the stalwarts of the shakespeare memorial theatre, as it was then. you studied law at oxford, didn't you? yeah. why didn't you pursue that career, or were you never particularly tempted? my father was desperate that i should do well academically, and i was lucky i passed the exam to get into 0xford. extraordinary. and did law. i'd read the great lives of the great barristers but the theatre got too big a hold. we were doing play after play in the university dramatic society or the musicals, and, um... ..i joined an inn of court to be a barrister. and i thought, "this isn't for me." when you read the cases in court, they sound fantastic. but of course, that's the tip of a very big iceberg. and i knew that... i'd got stamina, but not that kind of stamina. and he was very disappointed. how far do you think can we see the, you know, the legacy of those legal studies at oxford in your films, particularly in that pursuit of social justice? i think it comes from somewhere else. when i was at university, i wasn't particularly political. but the thing i did see at oxford was wealth. i mean, i'd done national service, two years in the raf before i went to university, and that was an education because, i mean, we were sort of, you know, just a normal household, modest but not poor. and going into, being in a billet with 21 other lads... there were people who were, who were really poor there. and i went from that to oxford. and, my god, people were rich there. and there were people there who knew they would rule the world, who had a sense of entitlement that was extraordinary. and seeing this wealth on parade and the casual ease with which people lived a wholly different life, i mean, that's what stayed with me at oxford. your next choice for this programme isjoining the team that produced the bbc�*s wednesday plays in the mid—1960s. theme music plays you directed ten of these plays, including arguably the two best known ones, up thejunction, and cathy come home. before we talk about the individual works, what were you and the team trying to achieve with the wednesday plays? what was the ethos? well, it was an extraordinary moment of luck. the bbc hired a producer called sydney newman, and his brief was contemporary drama straight after the nine o'clock news on a wednesday. and you had an hour and a quarter, hour and a half — unheard of now. and the ethos was to challenge the news. the news went before us. and we said, "we're going to be the real news. "we're going to say what's really happening." and we found that our... we needed to be on the streets, you know, we wanted to be out there really filming life and putting stories in amongst it. and there was no way the bbc would allow us to do it. so when...there was a gap in the schedules, i got hold of nell dunn's book up thejunction, which is like little vignettes of working class life in battersea. kids up to mischief, the energy and mischief of youth. and i said, "we can do this." the book is very cinematic as it is, very quickly put six or seven stories together, link the characters. we had a script in a few days. we got a 16mm camera, shot in four days. we shot half the film. came back into the studio, and instead of visual mixing, we knew there was a 16mm backup recording of what had gone on in the studio in case of emergencies. and against much complaining, we used the 16mm backup copy and cut it into the 16mm we'd shot on the streets and we'd made a film. what you focus on is the lives of three young women in south london... yes. ..and their relationships with men. but one woman in particular. yes. who ends up having an illegal backstreet abortion. yes. how far as she gone, love? how much money— how far as she gone, love? how much money have _ how far as she gone, love? how much money have you got? is. handed over. money have you got? £4!— how was money have you got? handed over. how was your money have you got? £4. handed over. how was your mum keeping? has she still got _ how was your mum keeping? has she still got that lodger of hers? you know. _ still got that lodger of hers? you know. you — still got that lodger of hers? you know, you don't look more than 17. | know, you don't look more than 17. i am know, you don't look more than 17. am 18 next know, you don't look more than 17. i am 18 next month. did you know when you were making it that this drama would become, or was potentially very controversial stuff? well, you never know. but i think we knew we were up to something. we knew we were up to something. and we knew we were breaking the rules and we were lucky enough to get away with it. and sydney newman, who was head of drama, he gave us his support, and we weren't micro—managed, you see, like now. i mean, nobody knew about it until it was done. until it was broadcast? no, until it was finished. yeah. so it just happened. but fortunately, mary whitehouse was just beginning her tirade to clean up the bbc and she took against it and waged... created a hell of a fuss. as a teacher responsible for sex education, i had it laid upon me to give children sex education based on chastity before marriage and fidelity within it. and the truth was that my work was being totally undercut by the way premarital sex was being made normal on television. well, i... 10 million people watched up thejunction. extraordinary figures. mm. did mary whitehouse's reaction help you, do you think? it helped us in the extent that they knew about us. there were stories in the press and there was a thing called late night line—up, which was a great show on bbc two, where if you'd been in — you created a fuss, you were on late night line—up to defend yourself. what we were trying to do there was to capture an actuality. erm... now, we know in actual life that the important things are not the positions we stand in and the way we express ourselves. we tried to capture an actuality flavour. the sort of excitement... but it isn't actuality. no, but we tried to get as near as we could to it. this is the point. they were extraordinary times, really, now, looking back. but when you are dealing with such important issues and, as you say, you're coming straight off the back of the news and you're a young director, did it feel like a huge responsibility given the amount of people that were watching your work? it felt like an opportunity. i mean, at the time, there was — there was a whole campaign beginning about — about legalising termination because of the — the backstreet abortions were appalling. they were the only recourse many women had. mm. so that was in the air. and that wasn't done lightly. i mean, you know, when i talk about it, it's with enthusiasm, but it wasn't done lightly. and there are voices from doctors and medics within the film talking about it, and why it was so serious and why the law had to change. take the lowest figure, 52,000 abortions a year — that's 1,000 abortions a week. cathy come home, which you directed in the following year, 1966, is about the effects of unemployment and poverty and homelessness, particularly, on a young couple. mm. 12 million people watched that drama. devastating stuff. what are your abiding memories of shooting cathy come home? we shot it in three weeks, mainly hand—held camera, 16 mil. we went to different parts of the country. and, i mean, iwas learning the trade so, i mean, it was — it was, it was very rough and ready. but again, i think we knew we were on to something. homelessness was a big issue then. the act of wrenching the child from its mother is as horrendous an act by the state as you can think. and for social circumstances to think it is acceptable to take children from their mother is shocking, so we thought, well, you know, that — that's — that's the end of the film. cathy come home was so powerful, it had such an effect that it led to not only the inevitable complaints, but questions in parliament and the homelessness charity shelter was established, i think, the following year. did those tangible effects of the drama set you on a course for the sort of films and the sort of work that you do in the decades afterwards? i was already on that course, really. yes — the effect was far greater than we could've expected. but the — the devastation of what poverty and hardship can do to people's lives is — has, i guess, always been a central theme with the writers i've worked with and the team i've worked with. your next choice for this programme is czech cinema of the 1960s. which film—makers, which movies, in particular, are you thinking? ah, yes, that was, the czech cinema was a huge delight because of their humanity and their warmth and their respect for people. give us an example of a scene that sticks in your mind from one of those films from the time that really struck a chord with you or made you think, "i'm going to try something like that"? the scene in the blonde in love, which is a story of factory girls in a czech village shortly after the war, during the war. the men have gone to the army. they're desperate for boyfriends. they get the word that a number of the military are going to be billeted in the village. they're expecting bright young fellas in uniforms. and, of course, the soldiers are approaching middle age and they've already got wives at home and they're not — they're not what the girls had in mind at all. there's a great scene where the dance is arranged. the girls come in and they sit on one side of the dance hall and the men come in and sit on the other side and, of course, their great disappointment. and that scene, the observation between the two sides... 0ne bloke, he takes one soldier's wedding ring off and it rolls across the floor and gets under the table of one of the groups of girls. upbeat music plays and, of course, he's got to try and get it back. upbeat music continues and it's a very funny scene, but it looks as though he set up the dance and observed it, as well as setting up specific things to happen — which, of course, you've got to shoot directly. you made your first feature film in 1967. that was poor cow, which starred carol white, who you'd work with in cathy come home. yes, yes. and then in 1969, kes, one of the greatest british films of all time. i mean, how much was the visual style of kes influenced by some of that czech cinema? the — kes, first, was a milestone. and the key figure there was the cameraman, chris menges. i made good friends with chris and chris said a very important thing. he said, "what happens in front of the camera is more important "than what happens behind the camera, within the camera. "that you've got to concentrate. "don't try and be clever with the camera. "create something of worth that you're going to film "and respect it. " and ifeel that's what czech cinema did. and that was our model for kes. and i never went back to the hand—held, chase—the—action. it was always, no, let's observe it. there is a great sense of naturalism in that film. there's a scene which i remembered, particularly with colin welland, who plays the teacher who's encouraging billy casper, asks him to talk to the class, to explain his passion for the kestrel. good morning. entry of the gladiators. where have you been? went to see mr gryce, sir. for the stick? yes, sir. how many did you get? two. did it hurt? not bad. right. i hope it didn't. go on, sit down. the kids in the classroom didn't know what was going to happen. david knew. and he... david bradley. david bradley, who played billy casper. he'd trained the kestrel himself with barry hines and richard, barry's brother. now, come on. tell us about this hawk. where'd you get it from? ifound it, sir. where? in the woods. where'd you keep it? in a shed. what do you feed it on? beef, mice, birds. but isn't it cruel to keep it in a shed? i mean, wouldn't it be happier flying free? don't keep it int' shed all the time, sir. i fly it every day. he was good at learning lines, but i said, "look, just know the story. "know what you've got to say." and then, it's a sort of partly remembered, partly improvised scene. and the boys hadn't heard it before. as far as one could make it, it was a live happening. so, billy didn't know what the questions would be. so, he was improvising, but also basing it on his own experience. yeah, yeah, yeah. when i got about 70 yards from middle of t'field, i called her. "kes, kes, come on, kes. come on, then." nowt happened, so i thought, "well, i better walk back and pick her up." so, while i were walking back, i saw her flying. she came like a bomb. about a yard off t'floor, like, lightning. head still and you couldn't hear t'wings. there weren't a sound from t'wings. and straight onto t'glove. wham! _ and she grabbed me for t'meat. the next choice that you've made for this cultural life, you've chosen real people — people whose stories have fed into your films. and you said in an email that you sent us, "people who have clarified and strengthened "a view of the world." people like who? well, yes, that's, erm — i mean, we've been very lucky and in the films we've done, which have been — i've tried to tell stories of everyday working class life, and also some pivotal moments in history. we did i, daniel blake about the cruelty of the benefit system. we filmed in the food bank in newcastle. is this the queue for the food bank? it is, aye. how long have you been waiting? canny long time, i reckon. been here ages already. and when we're doing the scene, there's a girl in the film who goes and she's so hungry, and the woman who took her round worked in food banks. and as she said, "who's taking her round?", she said before she began, she said, "can i help you with your shopping?" jackie? yeah. would you be able to help katie with her shopping today, please? of course i can. thank you. - hi, katie. | thank you. so, we've got one adult and two children. - yeah. - come with me. what sensitivity to do that to someone who's begging for food. to say, "can i help you with your shopping?" you know, and when you see the courage and the sensitivity of people like that, how can you not tell their stories? we've got used to food banks. it's not news anymore. but people are desperate. i mean — i mean, we saw people who were ashamed of their hunger. and hunger has a function. hunger has a function — it is a discipline. if you don't do the work you're told, you're hungry. you're still visibly moved at recalling those individual testimonies of people. so, you feel there is a responsibility — there's almost an obligation. there's an anger, actually. is there? i think that's what drives you. well, you can't see it happen. you can't see it happen and be indifferent, you know, you can't. and i think that's what — if there's something that, you know, puts fuel in the tank, that's it. you know, it's anger. it's anger again — again, seeing hope destroyed, you know? those are some of the issues that you are addressing in yourfilms. what effect do you want your films to have? do you want for people to come out of your films feeling as angry as you go into making them? i think you want to leave people with a question, you know? why do we allow this to happen? why do we allow this to happen in the knowledge of the hardship it causes? what is the possible answer? and it takes two years to make a film, you know? very hard to do something that you don't believe in. as you say, each film takes about two years to make. you're now 86 years old. you've come here to our studio straight from an edit suite, another film, another social drama. are you still as driven as you ever were? well, yeah, i guess so, i guess so. i think, you know, you can't — you can't stop the frailties of age, really. and so, you know, sooner or later, time will run out. but it's being able to work with people — good people, talented people — to make a film is a huge privilege. to meet the people, to be able to tell their stories, to fashion it in the sharpest, best way we can. and what a privilege, you know? ken loach, thank you so much for sharing your cultural life. thanks very much. voice-over: and for podcast episodes of this

because of concerns over dangerous concrete, the education secretary promises no return to "the dark days of school lockdowns." a plan for a permanent memorial to the late queen elizabeth ii. a team is appointed to help decide what form it will take. # you know i love you... a global search begins for the guitar sir paul mccartney played on some of the beatles�* first and most famous records. in sport, three british players beaten at the us open, so the hopes rest on the one remaining player in the singles. jack draper makes the last 16 in new york. and we've got some mist and fog out there this morning, but that is going to clear away and they will be plenty of september sunshine this afternoon. feeling warm as well. i will have all the details throughout the programme. it's sunday, the 3rd of september. our main story: remote learning should last "days, not weeks", the government says, after concerns about lightweight concrete forced over 100 schools in england to fully or partially close. with just days to go before the new term starts for many, some pupils are facing classes at home or in unused buildings, until structures can be made safe. ministers are facing calls for more transparency. frances read has more. the crumbling of a concrete that simply wasn't made to last. raac was a postwar solution, now causing a headache for 21st—century britain. more than 100 schools in britain have been told they need to close. labour has announced it will force the government to reveal a complete list of affected schools, and now calls for transparency on the scale of the problem and for fast solutions. it's been known for a while and what we have also known for a while is there is a squeeze on school funding, and when you don't invest in maintenance and improvements in schools you get these problems arising but with raac it's a systemic failure of the actual material used to build them. hospital buildings and court buildings among those affected. and internal documents obtained by the sunday times suggest hospitals could be at risk of catastrophic collapse. the concerns about this have been swirling around for so long. trusts have been trying to cope with the safety risk associated with raac for a long time, and really to remedy the situation, action can't come too soon. the department for education said it was vital that schools are given time to inform parents and consider their next steps and it was grateful to school and college leaders for their work to make sure that disruption is kept to a minimum. the department of health and social care also said that the nhs has a mitigation plan in place for hospital buildings with confirmed raac, and that it remained committed to eradicating raac from the nhs estate entirely by 2035. schools in scotland, wales and northern ireland are also being assessed. in scotland, raac has been detected in 35 schools, but first minister humza yousaf said he has no plans to use close any schools in the short term. the problem is there's no exact record of where raac was used. it's this failure, some argue, that means that some buildings remain unsound. frances read, bbc news. let's get more on this now with our political reporter tony bonsignore. tony, with parliament returning from recess this week it is an issue that is going to be high on the agenda? good morning. absolutely, ithink good morning. absolutely, i think it is going to be a difficult few days for the government, difficult questions tomorrow afternoon when mps return. i think we can expect a statement from the government, an urgent question at the very least. a lot of mps are going to be asking questions on behalf are very worried constituents. in labour, as we are hearing, potentially this week, depending on what unfolds, looking to force a vote to force the government to reveal details like, for example, what is the extent of the problem is we understand it, which buildings are affected, what did the government know? why this key question keeps coming up, why this decision in a few days before the start of the school term. we heard julian keegan, the education secretary, writing and saying, look this is a difficult decision, we have to be ultra cautious, safety was the key. but this isn't like covid. homeschooling, if it happens, in this of cases, will only happen if you days. but i think opposition parties, labour in particular, since political opportunity here and weakness in the government for a couple of reasons. one is that i think they want to link this to austerity, and 13 years of conservative government and educational policy, and also this issue of competence as well. given that, as you heard, repeatedly in that, as you heard, repeatedly in that report, this is not a new problem. this is something that officials and ministers have, to an extent, known about for years. tony, for now, extent, known about for years. tony, for now. thank— extent, known about for years. tony, for now, thank you _ extent, known about for years. tony, for now, thank you very _ extent, known about for years. tony, for now, thank you very much. - extent, known about for years. tony, for now, thank you very much. we i for now, thank you very much. we will speak to the teachers union a bit later, in about 15 minutes or so. let's get all the other stories. rachel? almost a year on from the death of queen elizabeth ii, plans for a permanent memorial are under way. a committee will choose the most appropriate tribute to britain's longest—reigning monarch, which will be unveiled in 2026 to mark what would have been the year of her 100th birthday. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph has more. back in 1955, on a gloomy day on the mall in london, the young queen elizabeth unveiled a statue to her own father, king george vi. it was a public memorial to him, a tribute to his reign, where his daughter praised his wartime service. he was a living symbol of our steadfastness. he never wavered in his faith that, with god's help, the cause of freedom would prevail. there are tributes to kings and queens across the country. the traditional, imposing statue remains the most common memorial, but marking the reign of britain's longest—serving monarch may require something special. the queen's former private secretary, lord robinjanvrin, will lead the new memorial committee and says he now faces a unique challenge getting the project right. the committee will consult the royal family, the government and the public, to find the best way to remember queen elizabeth ii with both a memorial and what is described as a national legacy programme. it is the first anniversary of her death this friday. the royal family will spend the day privately. in 2009, queen elizabeth unveiled a statue to her mother, just below the one of her father from 1955. now the country she served for so long will look for a fitting way to remember her. daniela relph, bbc news. two men have been arrested under the terrorism act as part of an investigation linked to the data breach at the police service of northern ireland. the data was accidentally shared last month and included the surname and initials of 10,000 psni employees. tesco's ceo has announced supermarket staff will be offered body cameras due to the rising number of violent attacks against shop

stolen. festival—goers in the us state of nevada have been told to conserve their food and water after heavy rain turned the campsite into a mud bath. us media reported that more than 70,000 people have been stuck at the burning man festival since yesterday. james clayton reports. burning man is a festival deep in the nevada desert. heat and sandstorms are supposed to be the main threat to attendees but, this year, rare rain has turned the desert sand into thick, sludgy mud, causing havoc. now festival—goers are literally stuck. 0rganisers have said that no vehicles except emergency services are permitted until the surface dries out. it means cars cannot get in or out. in a statement, burning man officials added that participants are encouraged to conserve food, water and fuel and shelter in a warm, safe space. some are making the most of it. definitely muddy and wet, and definitely hungry but taking this as an opportunity to hang and spend more time with our new friends and of friends in the camp and there are definitely other camps i can see that are downright partying and having a great time! the problem the festival—goers have though is that they are in the middle of nowhere. i've spoken to people who have hiked out to the nearest tarmacked road and were hitchhiking to reno as the dark and cold set in, and with more rain and unusually cold temperatures expected on sunday, many may be stuck in the mud for a good while yet. james clayton, bbc news. that looks like such a nightmare, to be stuck there! bud that looks like such a nightmare, to be stuck there!— be

on camera as it passed over the city of erzurum, in the east of the country. amazing stuff. but we have some amazing revenues back yesterday? things are getting warmer again, summer has arrived? summer has arrived ? yes, summer has arrived? yes, it has. it is all about green things in the sky and read things in the sky. a beautiful sunrise this morning in the northeast. summer has arrived, just as the kids go back to school. we start off with mist and fog, while it is lovely and sunny there at the moment, many of us have some scenes like this, quite dense fog at the moment, that is across southern areas of england, areas of fog clearing away today, and as they do, we will see warm and sunny spells across most areas of the uk today. with that, temperatures are going to rise quite considerably, notjust going to rise quite considerably, not just today but going to rise quite considerably, notjust today but over the next few days as well. the exception to that warm and sunny feeling as the far north of scotland, this is the satellite image, you can see quite a lot of cloud there. 0utbreaks satellite image, you can see quite a lot of cloud there. outbreaks of rain affecting the far north of scotland, all linked entities these weather fronts, just floating around this area of high pressure, which for most of us is keeping things settled, not only today but for the next few days as well. slight areas of mist and fog lifting and clearing, hazy sunshine initially before those skies clear to give us lots of blue skies, and a bit of coastal mist and fog around the far south and the irish sea, cloud, continuing on the far north, quite breezy as well, temperatures 16—18, and elsewhere, with those light winds and that sunshine, 22—25 or 26 degrees. now, tonight, once again, there could be patches of mist and fog developing across england and wales, we still have cloud, outbreaks of rain affecting the far north of scotland, but temperatures overnight stay in generally in double figures, so a mild night, but the far north of england could see temperatures down to single figures. now, monday, the new working week, mist and fog clears awake can once again we have lots of blue skies, lots of sunshine across many areas, still with that cloud affecting the far north of scotland, a bit of rain for the northern isles. temperatures on monday even higher than today, 22- 27 on monday even higher than today, 22— 27 celsius, 26 degrees and scotland, a bit fresh in the far north—west, 16—18 here. tuesday, a repeat performance, more sunshine, a bit of cloud across the far northeast of england, that cloud still there in the far north but getting smaller, that area in the far north of scotland, temperatures 21- 27 far north of scotland, temperatures 21— 27 celsius, then as we go through the rest of the week, high pressure is still there or thereabouts as we go through into thereabouts as we go through into the middle part of next week, and without south—easterly wind we start to draw in warmer and more humid air as well, so as we go through next week temperatures will get to about 30 celsius, but then we will also have quite warm nights with some humidity, into next week as well. i will take that. thank you very much, simon. i know that most schools are back already, but for those of you have a couple extra days of something to enjoy. head teachers in england are in a race to find ways to reopen their schools after being told to shut buildings made with unsafe concrete. timetables are being rejigged and

it cost £30. it�*s the bass guitar that can be heard on other singles which powered beatlemania. but in 1969, it disappeared, presumed stolen. this is one of the last official sightings of the instrument. since then, rumours have swirled about where it may be. sir paul mccartney�*s personal appeal for its return has turned into a global search. the team helping him say the guitar is of huge significance. its importance in music history and importance in social history is just unprecedented. there are few instruments that we could think of that would compare. people talk about

laura with a look at what�*s to come. we are back this morning with a bumper program as the political season gets going again. so many families are still having a hard time making ends meet, we have the chancellorjeremy hunt live with us in the studio. does he think is really going on with the economy, and when can people start to feel that things are getting easier? but what is happening with all that crumbling concrete in our schools and good other public buildings be affected? we will speak to the women —— woman who wants to be in charge of education for labour, jo philipson, about what they are calling on the government to do to sort it out. it is sunday morning, sort it out. it is sunday morning, so of course we have a couple of treat in store for you. one of the country�*s best—known actors, timothy small is here talking about his latest project with a touch of glam rock. and a different kind of musical starjoins us as well. the cello sensation will play for us here in the studio something gorgeous for a sunday morning. hope to see you here on bbc one at nine o�*clock. thank you very much. you can find the newscast on a saturday and sunday. do check that out. we are

we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye—bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. it�*s almost a year since the death of queen elizabeth the second and a committee has been appointed to choose a memorial monument. we�*re joined now by royal historian gareth russell, who can tell us exactly what makes a fitting royal tribute. very nice to talk to you. we have seen, we were showing pictures a bit earlier on, of what would traditionally be these kinds of memorials, those rather austere and imposing lifelike statues, really, of former monarchs. do you think this one will be very different? i imagine it will be, yes. it is interesting that you go to the statues, because they are often the pieces of memorialisation that don�*t land as well with the public today as they would have in the past. part of that, you said lifelike, that is exactly the problem with statues today. hundreds of years ago you didn�*t have any other way of knowing what a monarch or the consort looks like, unless it were reported for a statue, whereas today it is almost impossible not to know what the royal family look like from tv and magazines and photographs. so we have seen a little bit in the immediate past, that sense that those statues are osteo, and thinking in particular of the statue of the queen mother that was erected on the mall in 2009. and the statue of diana, princess of wales, at the sunken garden in kensington palace. a lot of these statues are held up to a very high standard because they are compared to photographs. i don�*t think this time around we�*re going to see as much of an emphasis on statues as we have may be seen with monarchs in the past. haifa statues as we have may be seen with monarchs in the past.— monarchs in the past. how do you condense the _ monarchs in the past. how do you condense the spirit _ monarchs in the past. how do you condense the spirit of— monarchs in the past. how do you condense the spirit of someone i monarchs in the past. how do you l condense the spirit of someone into a memorial, ora monument? we saw, didn�*t we, with the diana fountain, for example, there was a lot of controversy about whether it was a suitable, fitting tribute. it is really hard to get right, isn�*t it? it is, it is sort of a poisoned chalice for the artist, although i suppose i feel quite sympathetic for them, and that is an artist if you try to please everyone you will never make anything. when it comes to something like the royal family, people can have very strong opinions. interesting you mentioned the diana memorial statue, and the queen mother�*s, because there was in both cases that same question. how do you distil the essence of a life, or what part of a life do you focus upon, and i think the queen mother example is particularly relevant here, because like her daughter, she had an exceptionally long life, she was 101, elizabeth ii was 96. the question then arises, what part of that longevity does the artist focus on? there are examples of the way the royals, especially the windsors, have memorialised past monarchs and consorts that gives the queen elizabeth memorial which has been announced today are blueprints, that is to focus on what they are calling living memorials, and what they mean by that are things like parks, public spaces, interactive facilities, ratherthan public spaces, interactive facilities, rather than simply, as you say, 0stia statues or artistic installations. what i think we will see is, as with elizabeth ii was my grandfather, george v, and her great—grandfather, george vi, i think it will be a decent amount of plaques. i think there will be a lot of youth programmes, we saw that when her father passed away in 1952. elizabeth ii, as most people know, was a huge supporter of the countryside. she was very fond of nature, someone who very much loved the north of scotland, and i think that will lead very easily into this being a pan—uk memorialisation, so will see parks being installed not just in london but also wales, northern ireland and scotland. tbshd northern ireland and scotland. and of course with _ northern ireland and scotland. and of course with such a long rain, a lot of things are already named after the late queen. i am thinking of queen elizabeth 0lympic after the late queen. i am thinking of queen elizabeth olympic park the elizabeth line in london, all sorts of things like that. this has to be above and beyond, it has to be separate, bigger, may be grander? i think that is another challenge for the project, which is being headed by lord jablon, the perfect person for thisjob, they by lord jablon, the perfect person for this job, they chose extremely well with him. he worked in the royal house of the 20th so he knows elizabeth ii. he is prepared for the challenge to find a way to memorialise such a longer life, such an already celebrated life. i think they will have to be something special, granderand they will have to be something special, grander and larger, whether thatis special, grander and larger, whether that isjust one special, grander and larger, whether that is just one singular piece, one memorial, that is much larger than others, i don�*t know, but i do think they should be, perhaps, a linchpin piece, a central memorial to all this. i think piece, a central memorial to all this. ithink it piece, a central memorial to all this. i think it will be some sort of public space, i don�*t think the main focus will be the statue. ittufhiile main focus will be the statue. while it will be fascinating _ main focus will be the statue. while it will be fascinating to _ main focus will be the statue. while it will be fascinating to see - main focus will be the

going to say, a lot of your top three lines, of all lines? we all started some tennis. fascinating overnight, speaking of hat tricks, there were... overnight, speaking of hat tricks, there were. . .—

see the progress of the british players at the us open this last week, because the us 0pen this last week, because anti— the us open this last week, because anti— money going out on the second round stage, as he did at wimbledon, it all grows each and every time about him i placed him as this linchpin of british tennis, because we don�*t have the luxury of having eight, ten, 15 players in the singles each time at the grand slam. we tend to count on the fingers of each —— of one hand. now we�*re to just one. jack draper has made the last 16. just one. jack draper has made the last16. it just one. jack draper has made the last 16. it is especially interesting, he isjust 21, the youngest of those we might be pinning our hopes on, if you are a british tennis fan, certainly in the men�*s game, with an raducanu not quite being where we wanted to be because of all those injuries. he has been as high as 38 in the world and has reached the last 16 for the first time in a grand slams mix of all the injuries he had to deal with. especially impressive him, given both british number ones went out last night in cameron norrie and katie boulter. 0verall, out last night in cameron norrie and katie boulter. overall, a day of disappointment to the british players at the us open in new york, but onlyjack draper left in players at the us open in new york, but only jack draper left in the singles. the others couldn�*t make it through to the last 16, including katie boulter, who lost in straight sets to the american world number 59 peyton stearns. cameron norrie and dan evans are also out as patrick gearey reports. face—to—face with a phenomenon. hidden in the shadows in front of britain�*s dan evans is the big question in men�*s tennis. how do you stop carlos alcaraz? first set to the wimbledon champion. at 20, he still has boundless energy for long exchanges, but when the moment is right, he can end the conversation. commentator: no! two sets down, evans could have simply smiled and accepted his lot, but that�*s not his style. third set, fight back. it�*s all happening at flushing meadows! into a fourth, still, evans wouldn�*t relent, pushing and stretching alcaraz until he produced something remarkable. what?! can�*t believe that! barely explainable, let alone returnable, it gave alcaraz the break he needed and the match soon followed. evans lost, but this contest was the tournament�*s gain. cameron norrie�*s task was, on paper, easier — but on a new york hardcourt, opponent matteo was inspired, dumping norrie out in straight sets. the british men were left with jack. jack draper�*s progress has been limited by injury, and wildcard michael moe challenged him, but he came through. he may be british tennis�*s future, starting next week. patrick gearey, bbc news. only once before had a premier league day provided a hat trick of hat—tricks, and yesterday, the six matches had 26 goals overall. you won�*t be surprised to hear that manchester city�*s erling haaland was one of those to get three, topping off a week where he won two awards as manchester city thrashed fulham 5—1. and haaland�*s hat—trick is his fifth for the club. the defending champions have four wins from four and are at the top of the table. it was similar for spurs — they scored five overall, and it included a hat—trick. son heung min was the man to provide it as they won 5—2 at burnley. son had already scored his first by the time romero scored this great strike to put tottenham 2—1 up at half time. but then it was all about tottenham�*s south korean striker. two more goals for him to complete his hat—trick — tottenham up to second, burnley are bottom. we got tested early, obviously, going a goal behind. we knew that bernie would come at us in the process. just like the way we handle but, we stayed calm and kept playing a football. we worked really hard as a football. we worked really hard as a unit. in the second half, we really went up a gear and took our chances, probably in the final third in the first half we were a bit wasteful, but the second half was outstanding. and the third hat trick of the day came from a lesser—known player, but maybe not for long. 18—year—old brighton striker evan ferguson scored all of his team�*s goals in an impressive 3—1win over newcastle at the amex stadium. it is an unbelievable feeling, good to bounce back after last week and get the points. the to bounce back after last week and get the points-— to bounce back after last week and get the points. the hat-trick of hat tricks today- _ get the points.

shortlist to be on? yes, not bad company to be in. obviously - shortlist to be on? yes, not bad i company to be in. obviously erling haaland's record last season, and somebody has been doing it for a number of years, so it is great company to be in. elsewhere, 12th at the end of last season, only 11th at the beginning of this one, chelsea's indifferent start goes on. they were booed off after being beaten 1—0 by nottingham forest at stamford bridge. new signing anthony elanga with his first goal for forest. brentford needed a stoppage time equaliser to secure a point at home to bournemouth. bryan mbeumo with the finish. prior to that, bournemouth�*s david brooks thought he scored the winner, his first premier league goal since recovering from hodgkin's lymphoma. and everton remain in the bottom three, but did grab a point against sheffield united, as the teams drew 2—2. arnaut danjuma with everton�*s second. both sides remain winless in the new season. now, it's not often that rangers and celtic go into an old firm derby with neither top of the scottish premiership, but that's the case for the first league meeting of the two this season. st mirren�*s draw at livingston yesterday has them top instead, but the winners at ibrox will definitely replace them. and for rangers, a chance to respond after failing to reach the champions league in midweek. a massive game for us. for us to try and achieve, chance put down a marker and it is always an aim that you want to do as a team in the club so all the things are there for us send go and do as well as we can. chris eubankjr gained revenge over liam smith last night, beating him by a technical knockout in round 10 of their middleweight rematch. eubank knocked smith down twice in the fourth round at the manchester arena, and although he wasn't able to capitalise immediately, the referee stoped the fight when eubank did it again in the tenth. smith won the first fight between the two back injanuary. i was the underdog. everyone thought i was going to get knocked out. everyone thought i was finished. i see people online saying i'm shot, i'm too old, i don't want it anymore. yeah, i couldn't let that... i couldn't let that be, i couldn't let that slide. england's women had never lost a t20 to sri lanka before yesterday, but the first defeat was a heavy one, with the series now tied at h heading into wednesday's decider. batting first, england slumped to 104 all out in 18 overs. only charlie dean scoring more than 1a. sri lanka had no problem chasing their target, reaching it in the 14th over with eight wickets in hand. and england captain heather knight admitting they'd been served some humble pie. max verstappen will be aiming to win a record—breaking10th grand prix in a row later when he takes to the grid for the italian grand prix. but he won't be on pole. instead, that position was taken by ferrari's carlos sainz qualifying, much to the delight of the monza crowd. sainz snatched top spot from verstappen byjust one hundredth of a second. england's matt fitzpatrick will take a two—shot lead into the final day of the european masters golf. should he hold on to win, it'll be his first victory since being crowned us open champion last summer. fitzpatrick will also replace tommy fleetwood in one of the two remaining automatic qualifying places for europe's ryder cup team if he finishes sixth or higher. warrington have waited since may for back—to—back superleague victories, but they eventually did it in fine style yesterday, scoring 11 tries in a win over castleford. warrington ran out 66—12, which keeps them on course for a play—off spot, while castleford are two points off the bottom. elsewhere, leeds rhinos beat hull fc. there was a great finish to stage eight of the vuelta a espana as three—time champion primoz roglic won his first stage of this year's race. he overtook remco evenepoel in a sprint finish to claim victory on the 103—mile stage. american sepp kuss finished seventh to replace lenny martinez as the leader in the general classification standings, opening up a 43—second overall advantage. so, given there were

our weather watchers, though there is some mist and fog, quite dense fog at the moment. the fog will lift up anglia away. as it does, you can see for most of us we are looking at warm sunshine through afternoon. there is an exception to that in the far north of scotland. this area of cloud, some rain beneath that, that is all linked to this weather front as well. it is flirting around this area of high pressure, and high pressure is there weather pattern that gives us the finer settled conditions. yes, some mist and fog as i mentioned, especially towards southern england, parts of wales. that will clear and lift away. some cloud will disappear so there will be lots of september sunshine this afternoon. clap cloudy affecting the far north and north—west of scotland. quite breezy as well. 16 to 18. elsewhere, chapters 23 to 25 degrees. tonight, something a bit similar in that that we have some clear skies, that will allow some mist and fog to develop once again across parts of england and wales. a bit of cloud affecting the far north—west of scotland stock temperatures generally staying in double figures, about nine to 11 or 12 celsius. into monday, again, like this morning, some mist and fog which will clear away, lots of blue skies and sunshine on monday. the cloud affecting the far north of scotland, a few outbreaks of rain for the northern isles of scotland in particular. temperatures will be even higherfor monday. 26 degrees in aberdeen, 26 to 28 across any parts of england and wales and a bit fresher in the far north and west. tuesday, very similar again. the only thing you may notice is the area of cloud across northern scotland becomes a bit thinner. some sunshine in the northern isles on tuesday. the most, dry and sunny and pretty warm. a slight change in wind direction across scotland means it won't be quite as warm, but again, but widely 26 or 27 celsius throughout tuesday. as we go through the rest of the week, high pressure is still there towards the east of the uk and when it is to the east, we start to pick up a south—easterly window that south—easterly winds will bring an even warmer airfor the middle of next week on top of that, the humidity will start to rise as well. you might see into next week there will be some warm nights, temperatures staying quite high. heatwave category with temperatures in some parts on wednesday,

intelligence. now, the team behind it used ai tools to generate images and sounds, and those were used to influence the choreography, the set design and the music. in fact, the creative director even asked gpt for ideas on how to stage the final performance. my name is harry. i'm also known as �*reaps100', and i'm an artist and director based in london. all of my work centres around new methods of exploring voice and technology. so over the last six years, i've moved a lot into direction and creative direction with technology. and i was appointed as creative director of fusion, which is a collaboration with leipzig international ballet in germany. 35 international dancers. and the idea was with mario schroeder, who's the ballet director, to introduce a new tech process. but the whole story is really about how do we visualise tech? so speaking with gtp3, we were able to talk about this idea of different shapes and what shapes represent technology, and eventually using very simple applications through mitjourney and dali with paul started to visualise some of the earlier texts that we generated. so we started to see these new set pieces, a white tree floating over a stage, a large disk that is black and absolute with water. and these kind of visual hallucinations that came from these ai conversations. they were directly inspired by us, and then that directly inspired us. we took a lot of images and photos of — and recordings of the practice. and as mario started to develop the movement based on the narrative, we ended up with a data set and then we were able to use these as visual prompts using style gans to effectively generate interpretations of those images like morphing, shifting different movements, which he then took inspiration from. he had these images and video that he would think, "this is an interesting emotion. "oh, the way that arm is "is something i wouldn't have thought of." so, again, this augmented creativity, this dialogue was present for the movement. i think there are huge opportunities to let these systems empower you and to take ownership over them and to learn about them, have ai literacy. they have been a mentor. they've been a collaborator. and even when they're an opponent, they help me grow. and for that, for now, i'm very, very grateful. laughs sarod! companies all over the world are finding new ways to produce food for our growing population without putting as much pressure on animals or the environment. so here comes lara with a new dairy alternative. say cheese! lara: sustainability and animal welfare are at the heart of better dairy�*s mission, which is to create cheese in a lab using precision fermentation. one of the big challenges when it comes to dairy alternatives is recreating cheese in a way that you'd actually want to eat it by itself. and this london—based company is focusing on casein, an element that normally comes from cows, but they're using plant—based products. and the idea is that this, once it's perfected, can be used in any form of cheese to make a proper variety. casein is one of the main proteins found in milk and the one that gives it its white colour. it's also most of the protein found in cheese and it's what gives cheese its melt, stretch and flavour. casein has really exciting properties to it that allow these really intricate, complex cheese matrices to form, encapsulating fat, so that when you melt it, it flows, you know, capturing salt crystals so that when you're biting a vintage cheddar, you taste that flavour. it's very complex. kate, what are you up to here? hi. well, just like you can grow yeast to make beer, we grow yeast to make casings for cheese. so here, i'm just starting the small culture. this is going to go in the incubator and grow overnight. meanwhile, here in the food science lab, cheese is being prototyped using casein. alex, what have you got going on here? so, once we have our casein, we can reconstitute it into milk, from which point we can add rennet to it and coagulate those proteins into occurred. from there we cut our curds, expelled the way and the moisture from those curds, and then finally press them into a hard block of cheese. it's time for the big moment — the tasting. this looks amazing. like regular cheese. but what's the difference in terms of ingredient? what isn't in this that you would normally get in cheese? so because we can use pump sugars, we can emit the lactose, which is obviously great for lactose intolerant people. yeah. and because we're using plant—based fats, we have really low cholesterol. so, it's actually a much healthier cheese. that's a good start. which one shall i eat first? um, i would say go for this one. this is one of our mature cheddars. lovely. that tastes like mature cheddar. i want to have something more interesting to say, but it tastes right. let's try this one. what's that? that's gouda. ok, the consistency of that looks good. what happens when you try and melt it? they melt, yeah. they take on a slightly different flavour profile like you'd expect from melted cheese, and they have more or less the exact same consistency. i'm going to eat a bit more, which is always a good sign. could i have a bit more of that one? let's just have a bit more to think about how it tastes and. . . it's quite nice. spencer: 0k. well, i'll leave laura to conduct some in—depth research there, and we'll cross to nick, who's been to a whisky distillery. i mean, honestly, the pair of them. nick's been finding out how technology is helping the whisky industry to move with the times. nick: whisky is one of scotland's greatest exports, with sales soaring above £6 billion last year. producing the amber nectar takes a lot of energy, but the scotch whisky association has pledged to reach net zero emissions by 2040 across the board, five years sooner than the scottish government's goal. and this distillery here is set to achieve those targets with sustainability at its heart. today, i'm on a whistle—stop tour, and the first port of call — the power source. so the dam does two things. it helps with cooling and the distillery, but it also feeds into a hydroelectric system which supplies renewable energy to help with the whisky making. it's also installed solar panels, and it's using a biomass boiler instead of oil for 100% of its heat. holy smokes! that's powered by local forestry woodchips within ten miles of the distillery. so for every acre of woodland that's cut down to make the woodchip, there's replanting that's going on. water from a nearby natural spring goes into making the final drink, along with yeast and barley. but a lot of by—products are created during the distilling process. an unwanted residue called pot ale forms and after the mashing stage, spent barley grain known as draught is left behind. so each trailer will be felled every two days. it's mostly husk and leftover... oh, it's warm! it can either be dried and added to the pot set up and compressed then animalfeed or it can go directly to the state and feed the cattle. you know, that is deliciously smelling for a cow. i say put that in front of a cow, he'll be very happy. it's estimated that about half a million tonnes of draught and around 3 billion tonnes of pot ale are produced each year by scottish whisky distilleries. so if this waste could be turned into notjust feed or fertiliser, but high—value fuel? celtic renewables took some to prove its technology here at scotland's first biorefinery. so, these act as the raw materials for our bacteria and they essentially grow on the organic matter that's in here, they break it down and they convert it into their end products. and their end products are highly valuable chemicals, acetone, butanol and ethanol. and right now, you can only get them from fossil fuels. there's plenty of carbon out there in biological residues, and that can be used to make the chemical products that we make, which directly replace the same chemicals made from oil and gas and things we have to dig up. martin's solution is based on bacteria starting in this anaerobic chamber. i kind of liken it to a pot plant you start with a seed and a small little plant. you let it grow a bit, then you put it into a bigger pot and then you put it into a bigger pot. and we are talking lots of pots. oh, my goodness me! wow! how big's this, martin? so this one, we can grow 5,000 litres worth of bacteria. is this the end? no. there's one more to go. those are enormous. it's pretty amazing to think that what happens in the lab just a few feet away culminates here with these five gigantic vessels holding up to 500,000 litres of bacteria. finally, the mixture is fed into this distillation tower, which extracts the chemicals from the mixture. there's a lot of machinery and a lot going on here, and that's it for the shortcut of this week's click. if you'd like more, check out the full length version, if you'd like more, check out the full—length version, which is waiting for

because of concerns over dangerous concrete — the education secretary promises no return to "the dark days of school lockdowns". a plan for a permanent memorial to the late queen elizabeth ii — a team is appointed to help decide what form it will take. a global search begins for the guitar sir paul mccartney played on some of the beatles�* first and most famous records. in sport... three british players beaten at the us open, so the hopes in the singles rest on the one remaining englishman in new york, jack draper makes the last 16. and jack draper makes the last 16. we've got some mis there and we've got some mist and fog out there this morning. that is going to clear away and there will be plenty of september sunshine this afternoon, feeling warm as well. i will have all of the details throughout the programme. it's sunday the third of september. our main story. remote learning should last "days, not weeks", the government says, after concerns about lightweight concrete forced over one—hundred schools in england to fully or partially close. with just days to go before the new term starts for many, some pupils are facing classes at home or in unused buildings, until structures can be made safe. ministers are facing calls for more transparency. frances read has more. the crumbling of a concrete that simply wasn't made to last raac was a post—war solution, now causing a headache for 21st century britain. more than 100 schools in england have been told they need to close. labour has announced it will force the government to reveal a complete list of affected schools, and now calls for transparency on the scale of the problem and for fast solutions. it's been known for a while. what we've also known for a while is that there's been a real squeeze on school funding. my committee again has highlighted that repeatedly. and when you don't invest in maintenance and improvements in schools, you get these problems arising. but with raac it's a systemic failure of the actual material used to build them. court buildings and hospitals, too. among those impacted. and internal nhs documents obtained by the sunday times suggest hospitals could be at risk of catastrophic collapse. the concerns about this have been swirling around for so long. truss had been trying to cope with the safety risks associated with raac for a long time and really to remedy the situation. action can't come too soon. the department for education said it was vital that schools are given time to inform parents and consider their next steps, and that it was grateful to school and college leaders for their work to make sure that disruption is kept to a minimum. the department of health and social care also said that the nhs has a mitigation plan in place for hospital buildings with confirmed raac and that it remained committed to eradicating raac from the nhs estate entirely by 2035. schools in scotland, wales and northern ireland are also being assessed. in scotland, raac has been detected in 35 schools, but first minister humza yousaf said he has no plans to close any schools in the short term. the problem is there's no exact record of where raac was used. it's this failure, some argue, that means some buildings remain unsound. francis read bbc news. let's talk to our political reporter tony bonsignore. tony, parliament returns from recess, and straight to work,

queen elizabeth ii as we approach the one—year anniversary of her death. plans for a permanent memorial are under way. a committee will choose the most appropriate tribute to britain's longest—reigning monarch, which will be unveiled in 2026 to mark what would have been the year of her 100th birthday. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more. back in 1955, on a gloomy day on the mall in london, the young queen elizabeth unveiled a statue to her own father, king george vi. it was a public memorial to him. a tribute to his reign where his daughter praised his wartime service. he was the living symbol of our steadfastness. he never wavered in his faith that with god's help, the cause of freedom would prevail. there are tributes to kings and queens across the country. the traditional imposing statue remains the most common memorial, but marking the reign of britain's longest serving monarch may require something special. the queen's former private secretary, lord janvrin, will lead the new memorial committee. he says he now faces a unique challenge getting this project right. the committee will consult the royal family, the government and the public to find the best way to remember queen elizabeth ii with both a memorial and what's described as a national legacy programme. it is the first anniversary of her death this friday. the royal family will spend the day privately. in 2009, queen elizabeth unveiled a statue to her motherjust below the one of her father from 1955. now, the country she served for so long will look for a fitting way to remember her. daniela relph, bbc news. two men have been arrested under the terrorism act as part of an investigation linked to the data breach at the police service of northern ireland. the data was accidentally shared last month and included the surname and initials of 10,000 psni employees. tesco's ceo has announced supermarket staff will be offered body cameras due to the rising number of violent attacks against shop workers. writing in the mail on sunday, the supermarket�*s boss ken murphy called for tougher laws targeting offenders who abuse or threaten retail staff. he says the number of physical assaults against tesco staff increased by a third since last year. campaigners hoping to get the crooked house pub near dudley, in the west midlands rebuilt — after it was destroyed in a fire — have taken part in a special padlocking ceremony. contractors have brought in storage containers to keep the bricks safe after they were saved from the demolition of the famously wonky pub. some bricks have already been stolen. the organisers of america's "burning man" festival are urging those attending to conserve food, water and fuel — after rainstorms left them stranded at the event. meanwhile, the sheriff's office said it was investigating the death of a person at the festival. more than 70,000 people are unable to leave the site in nevada that has turned into a mud—bath. james clayton reports. burning man is a festival deep in the nevada desert. heat and sandstorms are supposed to be the main threat to attendees. but this year, rare rain has turned the desert sand into thick, sludgy mud, causing havoc. now festivalgoers are literally stuck. organisers have said that no vehicles except emergency services are permitted until the surface dries out. it means cars can't get in or out. in a statement, burning man officials added that participants are encouraged to conserve food, water and fuel and shelter in a warm, safe space. some are making the most of it. it's definitely muddy, it's definitely wet, we're definitely hunkered down. but we're taking it as an opportunity to hang out and spend more time with our new friends and old friends in the camp. and there are definitely other camps that i can see, they're downright partying and having a great time here. the problem these festival goers have, though, is that they're in the middle of nowhere. i've spoken to people who have hiked out to the nearest tarmacked road and were hitchhiking to reno as the dark and cold set in. and with more rain and unusually cool temperatures expected on sunday, many may be stuck in the mud for a good while yet. james clayton, bbc news. a global search has begun for the bass guitar that sir paul mccartney played in his first public performances with the beatles. the star has enlisted the help of the german manufacturer of the guitar, hofner, to get back his treasured instrument. our reporter helena wilkinson has more. # love, love me do # you know i love you. love me do. one of the beatles�* early tracks recorded with paul mccartney's first hofner guitar. he bought it when he was a teenager from a shop in hamburg in 1961. it cost £30. it's the bass guitar that can be heard on other singles which powered beatlemania. but in 1969, it disappeared, presumed stolen. this is one of the last official sightings of the instrument. since then, rumours have swirled about where it might be. sir paul's personal appeal for its return has turned into a global search. the team helping him say the guitar is of huge significance. its importance in music history and its importance in social history is just unprecedented. there are few instruments that we could think of that would compare. people talk about beethoven's piano. there isn't really an instrument on earth that has created notjust music, but created a change like paul mccartney and the beatles created back in the �*605 than that bass. people from around the world are now being asked to help try to track down the £10 million instrument so it can be returned to sir paul mccartney. # love me do. helena wilkinson, bbc news. we spoke to the man who is in charge of that search a

she needs a snack. time for some weather now. _ here's simon with a look at this morning's weather. we are into heatwave category in england and wales next week. it could be up to 30 celsius for some. overnight will start to turn quite warm and quite sticky actually as well. especially for england and wales. not quite as hot across scotland or northern ireland but even here, temperatures of 20 to 23 degrees. this morning it has got that autumnal feel. look at the cobwebs there with the fog in the background. the sun is still quite strong about this time of year. it starts burning away that fog and mist pretty quickly and we are going to see some warm sunshine developing for most of it into this afternoon. i say most of us because, as always, there are some exceptions in the uk. we have this area of high cloud affecting the far north of scotland. beneath that in some outbreaks of rain are affecting the far north of scotland as well. it is linked in with this weather front here, but for most of us, high pressure dominates the weather today, and with that high pressure, not many isobars on there, the winds are fairly light as well. mist and fog clearing away from southern areas in particular, a bit of hazy sunshine initially this morning, but even thatis initially this morning, but even that is going to clear to give lots of blue skies this afternoon. still cloudy day for scotland and the far north and west, some outbreaks of rain here, quite breezy as well. temperature is about 16 to 18 degrees but for most of us it is going to feel quite warm with those temperatures into the 20s. 25 are maybe 26 degrees in the south—east of england. tonight we will still have that cloud affecting the fan off of scotland, elsewhere though with the clear skies, mist and fog will once again develop into tomorrow morning. it could be quite dense in places, so if you are travelling first think about that in mind. temperatures down to about nine to a0 celsius. mist and fog were clear again pretty quickly through the morning and then once again we had left with lots of blue skies and sunshine for most of us. the exception is the far north of scotland. still a few showery outbreaks of rain affecting the northern isles. breezy with temperatures around about the teens. 25 degrees in the east of aberdeenshire. elsewhere, 25 to 27 celsius. a hotter day on monday. as for tuesday, celsius. a hotter day on monday. as fortuesday, more celsius. a hotter day on monday. as for tuesday, more of the same. lots of sunshine once again add any mist orfog clearing. there will of sunshine once again add any mist or fog clearing. there will be low cloud and sea fog around the north sea moving its way in. the cloud across the far north of scotland gets a little bit thinner so there will be some sunshine affecting the northern isles. a bit fresher, not quite as hot across scotland on tuesday. but again, for most of us on tuesday, temperatures 26 to 27 celsius. as i mentioned, in the middle part of the week, wednesday to thursday, it could be up to 30 degrees for some. it may be too hot for some people. two mothers whose children died after getting into trouble in the water off bournemouth beach, are calling for better education about the dangers of the sea. seventeen year old joe abbess and twelve—year—old sunnah khan died in may when they'd got into difficulty whilst swimming in an area with lifeguards. our reporter anjana gadgil has been speaking to their mums, who say coastal councils should improve signage on the beach. 17—year—old joe abbess on his way to bournemouth beach on the 31st of may. i dropped him off saying, "don't forget your suncream and drink lots of water, it's going to be a hot one." there are so many other things in life you worry about as a mum. going out for a fun day at the beach was never something that worried me in the slightest. and to drop him off and him never come home is the worst, that's your mother's worst fear, isn't it? you know, you don't imagine your child won't come home after a day out. joe, a trainee chef from southampton, was one of ten people who got into trouble in the water. efforts were made to resuscitate him, but he never recovered. the hospital consultant came on the phone and they said, "there's no need to hurry, it's too late." which broke my heart because he was my boy, 17 and a half. it doesn't happen. but it did. and we've had to live with that for the last 13 weeks, that he's not coming home and he should have come home. 12—year—old sunnah khan from high wickham was also on the beach that day. this is the last footage her mum has of her daughter. i find it really hard to imagine that she had gone somewhere that she loved and she didn't know that that was... you know, going to be her last day. i look at her pictures every day and the videos i have. and ijust wish that i had more. you never realise that you don't have enough until they're all you have. sunnah drowned along withjoe. two families left incomplete. i struggle to get up in the morning. i struggle to do anything, everything. my mind is consumed by her not being here. and how unfair it is that she's not here. when we're all together is when it's the most difficult because her absence is so loud. stephanie and ness believe bournemouth, poole and christchurch council could and should have done more to warn people of the dangers of the sea. i think they could improve their signage around the beachfront. i've been down, i've been back to bournemouth since sunnah died and i had a look at the signs that are there and there are none there that would suggest there is any danger in that water. joe was strong, wasn't he? strong and fit. massively, yeah, he'd go to the gym about four or five times a week and, you know, a strong young man to be just taken like that is crazy. you can't assume that if you're waist high in the sea, you're safe. the conditions can change and people need to know that. i didn't know that. bcp council said... "following the tragic incident in may we've increased our staffing and safety messages over the seafront tannoys. we've also placed additional banners and digital media in the vicinity of bournemouth and boscombe piers to help promote the rnli float to live message." the mothers also want schools to educate children and parents. they message each other every day. we help each other through the bad times. it helps us feel less alone. just day—to—day things, how are you feeling, and it helps. both mothers now want to prevent other parents experiencing what they've had to endure. anjana gadgil, bbc news. absolutely heartbreaking to hear the stories and our thanks to both of those mothers for being able to open up those mothers for being able to open up about it. we really appreciate it and hope that their message about beach safety is heard loud and clear in memory of their children. shat in memory of their children. at 8:22am. narrow passageways and ginnels between rows of houses are often neglected and prime territory forfly—tipping — but communities across the uk are transforming these areas into clean green areas. but should the clean—up fall on residents, or is it the responsibility of the council? our reporter crispin rolfe has been looking at the state of alleyways in grimsby. which alleyway would you prefer to live next to? this one or this one? the kids can play here because all the gates are locked, so it's safe and they've got somewhere to go. clean them up, clean them up, it brings people together. what have we got here? well, the alleyway had been cleared. it did get cleared last year, but as you can see, we've got it accumulating again. and there we have this alley, which is probably the worst of a lot of alleys that are just like this, but they don't get much worse than this. just look at the height of it. i mean, it's dangerous, isn't it? there could be owt in there. it's a fire risk. imagine if the fire brigade need to get down there to put out a fire. well, anti—litter campaigner marco lawless knows which one he'd prefer to see on the back streets of west marsh in grimsby. what do trollies do? transport litter and waste, look at it. but he says that in his neck of the woods, the litter and the fly tipping just keeps happening. another pocket of rubbish, look. mattress galore. so clothes, bedding, sofas. and it's a frustration for people living here who often feel powerless. so i've got a camera in that window. i've caught people flytipping all the time. report it to council, sent videos, they are not interested, it's not their land, they're not bothered. even said to them, what do we do? they're saying at the end of the day, it's these houses that are responsible for it. i don't see how that's fair considering it's other people coming down flytipping. it's all quite a contrast to the community effort that's gone into this alleyway in cleethorpes. over the years making it a great space for the families living around it. we were getting all the rubbish coming down here, beds and all sorts, and everything was just all over the place. in the end we asked the council if we could get some bags and then we had some seats made. we're back at grimsby's west marsh, and it's volunteers who are trying to make the difference, but they are fighting an uphill battle. it's very therapeutic. totally different to what i do for a living and helping the community. we're going to keep on with what we do. it's good what we do and all that, and we're just trying to keep it tidy. but of course they and the council, which is often dealing with private land, can only do so much. the call then from marco is to the community to try and tidy up its own back yard. crispin rolfe, bbc news. we're nowjoined byjason williams, who designed a community garden in manchester, which was showcased at this year's rhs tatton show. good morning. shall wejust say, this is some of your work. so in that all screens, that is your

plenty of issues to be addressed. and to go over what is likely to be in the prime minister's intray, we are joined by sonia sodha from the observer and the spectator�*s katy balls. good morning to

buildings to be refitted, replaced in some cases, the government has said it will meet the temporary costs of for example finding new accommodation, erecting temporary accommodation. it's very unclear who is actually going to meet the big long—term cost of replacement. that's going to be a massive issue for schools. i think for parents, this morning, many of them will be feeling incredibly worried. the government saying 156 goals have been identified but ministers are saying they expect that to go significantly up. parents will be wondering, is my child's school building and safe and why hasn't the government got a grip on this given that there have been so many warnings about this? there was a really serious alert that went out in 2019 by the structural committee, the committee on structural safety, that said there was a collapse, a partial collapse in a roof in a 2018 primary school and it happened with very little warning. so regardless of any new information that has coming over the summer, ministers have known about this for longer than they might care to admit. or! than they might care to admit. all of this plays nicely into the hands of this plays nicely into the hands of labour, katie ball�*s, and for britain is broken narrative, you are beginning to see economists in the daily mail and the sun saying that as well, so what is the fightback going to be?— as

we cannot help _ this way is far from ideal. - cannot help but think about a possible positioning before an expected general election, still some time off but it's about getting anything in the row. we might expect anything in the row. we might expect a labourfront anything in the row. we might expect a labour front bench anything in the row. we might expect a labourfront bench reshuffle, and what might we see? a labour front bench reshuffle, and what might we see?— what might we see? that's right, robabl what might we see? that's right, probably not _ what might we see? that's right,

extensive as some reshuffles have been in the past. it will look a little bit more similar to what rishi sunak is done with his cabinet. the word is that keir starmer will keep the big cabinet positions, there will not be much movement there, but there might be some people who shift around. it's all about getting people into the right place before a general election because you don't generally want to reshuffle into a big job just after an election, you want people who have been doing the brief for a year or people who have been doing the brief fora year orso, so people who have been doing the brief for a year or so, so who know what they want to achieve if labour were to win an election, and when they go into government department on day one. people have been getting used to their cabinet positions, i think there keir starmer will be tricky to move some people out because they have got their own power bases within the party so i don't think it will be very extensive. is

12 months entirely on the coming general election when there are some really important policy issues to be tackled, not least heading into the winter, it might be stunning now for a few days but it will get colder and people are still facing very high energy bills. there are all kinds of immediate cost of living pressures that people are facing a need to be addressed. yes. pressures that people

will —— is will the voters feel it, when they have more money at the end of the week? there is a lot of overlap in whether they feel things here and now. but energy bills and the nhs going into the

to hone in on one or two individuals, suchis hone in on one or two individuals, such is the nature of the spread of british talent, not necessarily at the elite level being eight or ten people like other countries have the luxury of thinking about. everybody now has made way forjack draper to be the person on whom the spotlight shines. it might be unfair because he is only 21. he shines. it might be unfair because he is only 2h— he is only 21. he is a serious talent, some _ he is only 21. he is a serious talent, some people - he is only 21. he is a serious talent, some people think. he

injuries he has had. let's say it now, today on the 3rd of september, all of the british tennis types can focus on this one guy and he will be absolutely fine with it in perpetuity! floor guy and he will be absolutely fine with it in perpetuity!— it was generally a day of disappointment for the british players at the us open in new york with only jack draper now left in the singles. the others couldn't make it through to the last 16 including katie boulter who lost in straight sets to the american world number 59 peyton stearns. cameron norrie and dan evans are also out as patrick gearey reports. face—to—face with a phenomenon. hidden in the shadows in front of britain's dan evans is the big question in men's tennis, how do you stop carlos alcaraz? first set to the wimbledon champion. at 20 he still has boundless energy for long exchanges, but when the moment is right, he can end the conversation. commentator: 0h! two sets down, evans could have simply smiled and accepted his lot, but that is not his style. third set, fightback. commentator: it is all happening at flushing meadows! _ into a fourth. still, evans wouldn't relent, pushing and stretching alcaraz until he produced something remarkable. commentator: what? can't believe that! barely explainable, let alone returnable, it gave alcaraz the break he needed and the match soon followed. commentator: a forehand finish! evans lost, but this contest was the tournament's game. cameron norrie's task was, on paper, easier, but on a new york hard court, opponent matteo arnaldi was inspired, dumping norrie out in straight sets. so, the british men were left with jack. jack draper's progress has been limited by injury, and wild card michael mmoh challenged him, but he came through. he may be british tennis�*s future — starting next week. patrick gearey, bbc news. next forjack draper is the eighth seed andrey rublev. a tough assignment which could stretch his physical resources further because such is his relatively young age and the injuries he's had to contend with, beating michael mmoh provided draper with his first ever win over four sets. michael is someone who has been in form this summer, he has beaten a few top ten players i think. he is playing good tennis. so it will be a tough match today, it will be a battle, quite a long match. i was proud of the way i went out there, i don't think i played my best tennis necessarily, but i guess that's what tennis is about, you know, trying to get over the line when you're not quite at your best. only once before had a premier league day provided a hat trick of hat tricks and yesterday the six matches had 26 goals overall. you won't be surprised to hear that manchester city's erling haaland was one of those to get three topping off a week in which he won two awards. manchester city thrashed fulham 5—1 and haaland's hattrick is his fifth for the club. the defending champions have four wins from four and are top of the table. translation: this guy was born scoring goals and he will go - through his whole life scoring goals, so it will be no surprise if he manages to get the same figures as last season. but it doesn't matter if he doesn't. pep guardiola still with a back injury. it was similarfor spurs. they scored five overall and it included a hattrick. son heung min was the man to provide it as they won 5—2 at burnley. son had already scored his first by the time cristian romero belted this one in to put tottenham 2—1 up at half time. but then the south korean took over. two more goals for the captain to complete his hat—trick. tottenham up to second, burnley are bottom. the third hat trick of the day came from a lesser known player but maybe not for long. 18—year—old brighton striker evan ferguson scored all of his team's goals in an impressive 3—1win over newcastle at the amex stadium. it's an unbelievable feeling and it's good to bounce back after last week and get the three points. there has been a hat—trick of hat—tricks today, erling haaland has got one, son heung—min has got one, and evan ferguson has got one, that is a nice little shortlist to be on. yes, it's not bad company to be in. obviously erling haaland's record last season, and son has been doing it for a number of years so it is good company to be in. elsewhere, 12th at the end of last season, only 11th at the beginning of this one, chelsea's indifferent start goes on. they were booed off after being beaten 1—0 by nottingham forest at stamford bridge. new signing anthony elanga with his first goal for forest. now it's not often that rangers and celtic go into an old firm derby with neither top of the scottish premiership. but that's the case for the first league meeting of the two this season. st mirren's draw at livingston yesterday has them top instead. but the winners at ibrox will definitely replace them and for rangers a chance to respond after failing to reach the champions league in midweek. obviously a massive game for us, another three points in the league for us to go and try and achieve, a chance to go and put down a marker. to win the first old firm is always something you want to do as a team and as a club, so all of those things are there for us and we want to go and do as well as we can. chris eubankjunior gained revenge over liam smith last night beating him by a technical knockout in round ten of their middleweight rematch. eubank knocked smith down twice in the fourth round at the manchester arena and although he wasn't able to capitilise immediately, the referee stopped the fight when eubank did it again in the tenth. smith won the first fight between the two back injanuary. i was the underdog, everyone thought i was going to get knocked out. everyone thought i was finished. i see people online saying i'm shot, i'm too old, i don't want it any more. yeah, i couldn't let that... i couldn't let that be. i couldn't let that slide. england's women had never lost a t20 to sri lanka before yesterday but the first defeat was a heavy one with the series now tied at 1—1 heading into wednesday's decider. batting first england slumped to 10a all out in 18 overs. only charlie dean scoring more than 1a. sri lanka had no problem chasing their target reaching it in the 1ath over with eight wickets in hand and england captain heather knight admitting they'd been served some humble pie. max verstappen will be aiming to win a record—breaking tenth grand prix in a row later when he takes to the grid for the italian grand prix. but he won't be on pole. instead that position was taken by ferrari's carlos sainz qualifying much to the delight of the monza crowd. sainz snatched top spot from verstappen byjust one hundredth of a second. warrington have waited since may for back to back superleague victories but they eventually did it in fine style yesterday scoring 11 tries in a win over castleford. warrington ran out 66—12 which keeps them on course for a play—off spot while castleford are two points off the bottom. elsewhere leeds rhinos beat hull fc. we started about talking about an englishman still standing in new york, what about madrid? jude bellingham has moved to real madrid in the summerand bellingham has moved to real madrid in the summer and has now scored for every single game in there, he has scored five of eight of their goals

to 18 degrees but elsewhere it is going to feel quite warm this afternoon. 23 to 35 or 26. tonight, with the clear skies and light winds, and fog developing, especially in southern areas. cloud in the far north and north—west of scotland. temperatures tonight generally 11 to 1a degrees but around northern part of temperatures could be down into single figures. for most of us, it is looking like a lovely sunny day. a few outbreaks of rain affecting northern isles as well. temperatures could be hired tomorrow, 25 degrees in aberdeen, widely up to 27 or 28 in aberdeen, widely up to 27 or 28 in the south—east. tuesday, there will be patchy mist and fog in the morning, low cloud around the north sea but you can see it is on the whole dry and sunny, the cloud across northern scotland gets a little bit thinner. more sunshine in the northern isles on tuesday. temperatures not quite as high in scotland but elsewhere, 26 or 27 again on tuesday. the rest of the week we have a south—easterly wind and it will continue to bring in warmer airfrom the near and it will continue to bring in warmer air from the near continent. the humidity will increase as we get into next week so while temperatures, may be up to 30 in parts of england and wales, certainly looking at a heatwave across many parts of england and wales. but overnight temperatures wednesday, thursday, friday, could be on the high side. mid to high teens, 20 four some locations. could be some sticky notes. great work if you have booked yourself a little early september holiday, you have lucked out. i early september

boilers being phased out by 2035 in favour of green alternatives like heat pumps. but, in areas where households are off the gas network, the government's proposing to ban replacement oil—fired boilers much sooner, from 2026. so what will take their place? our west of england correspondent danjohnson reports from one village where they're now heating their homes with leftover vegetable oil. a special delivery down cornwall�*s country lanes to kehelland, claimed to be europe's first village to swap traditional heating oil for greener waste vegetable oil called hvo. this is our boiler. it's a kerosene boiler. it's about 27 years old. dave's a happy customer because it's saving him the costs of bringing his home up to standard. to fit a heat pump. we would have to run something like about £37,000 to have the roof fully insulated. then we'd have to do external cladding on the walls. that's going to come to about £12,000, replacing the glass with the latest specification glass and so on. and that doesn't include the cost of the air source heat pump itself and all the piping and all the radiators and everything else that has to go inside the house to to replace this. so how much would you be talking about? well, ata minimum, 60,000. there's no gas here. the electricity network isn't great either. you've got these beautiful old stone houses, but they're difficult to heat and even harder to properly insulate. and then you've got buildings like this, which are even more of a challenge. the same truck fills the same tank, feeding the same boiler, but the carbon emissions are 80 or 90% lower. it's just a small trial for now. you've only got to look at the ceiling and the problem of trying to insulate that roof space. but they feel it could help many rural communities. the village institute, the band hall, the snooker room, women's institute, scout, guide hut, all of these buildings which are core to a village life up and down the country. the implications, if we get it right, are huge. it's given us a realistic option to start going greener on site. and at this charity for people with learning disabilities, they're glad they've switched oils rather than changing the whole heating system. we've been able to keep the original equipment, very little destruction to the site, and now we're able to heat this amazing space which we use for therapeutic horticulture whilst producing 90% less carbon, which is just amazing for us. but not everyone's convinced. there's a question mark over the impact of supplying enough vegetable oil to serve 1.7 million rural homes. it's certainly not possible for everybody to use hvo to heat their homes. we need to electrify everything that we possibly can and only use biofuel for very special applications where there's no alternative. and they are shipping and aircraft in particular, and not heating homes, which can be done in other ways. the village school, they've managed to convert over to the hvo. the boss of the oil company is subsidising this because taxes currently make it more expensive. but he says it's what people want. they don't want to remove their existing system. they can't afford to move away from it. therefore, they want a cost effective, less disruptive way to decarbonise their home heating. you would say that because your business is absolutely dependent on it, isn't it? well, you know, we're a fossil fuel supplier and, you know, we're quite passionate about moving away from fossil fuel. and, you know, hvo seems to be a very good solution to do this. the road to net zero is being questioned and it's rural communities which must decide first how to keep warm without fossil fuels. danjohnson, bbc news, kehelland in cornwall. a huge challenge for rural communities particularly to make that switch, if there are so few alternatives. the secrets of life in an ancient monastery are closer to being uncovered as archaeologists complete the their third dig at the site in cookham. the remains of the anglo—saxon building were first discovered in 2021, and since then excavators have uncovered a large communal building, a timber—lined well and a cemetery. professor gabor thomas, associate professor of archaeology at the university of reading, has been part of the team involved from the start, he joins us now. just to remind us how this site was first identified. l..tlul’e

england had been unified. it was a series of competing, warring kingdoms. the two most powerful were vying for control of the river thames which was the most important trade and communication artery in southern england. these are the kingdoms of murcia and wessex. and monasteries were key to buttressing the frontier. they provided religious sanction for the little authority of these kingdoms and christianity at this time was very new, it had only been introduced to the pagan anglo—saxon peoples at the end of the seventh century. so monasteries also played an important role in christianisation, evangelisation of the community in the thames area and across the country. so it's really fascinating period. you have got the emergence of powerful kingdoms, vying for political supremacy, you have got a new christian ideology in the mix as well, and monasteries were right at the heart of that. bind well, and monasteries were right at the heart of that.— well, and monasteries

traditionally were known as the dark age because of a lack of historical sources. and we get very, very few and brief descriptions of what monasteries like the one we are investigating in cookham welike. we have to rely on the archaeology. many of these institutions were either destroyed by later phases of building, particularly under —— after the norman conquest when they were refounded in stone, or they are inaccessible to archaeologists because they lie underneath towns and urban centres. we have at cookham and undisturbed site right next to the river thames that appears to have been abandoned at the end of the ninth century, possibly by viking raids, caused by viking raids, and never built on again. we have got a really remarkably preserved extensive archaeology for one of these monasteries, it's really remarkable. give us an example of the most or the most exciting discoveries and objects you have found there. it’s objects you have found there. it's the objects you have

timber and they very rarely survive. we have got the floors, the hearts, the walls, the internal features, for what looked to be communal buildings, perhaps the refectory where the monastic brethren ate their meals. we have got wells with remarkably preserved timber lining at the base. wooden and leather artefacts. we have also found this season the links for what we think is a watermill, we

election looms, can the prime minister and his chancellor get things to work? the man who lives in number 11, jeremy hunt, is live with us today. so is bridget phillipson who wants to take charge of
