6:01 am
who is the mystery england star putting these magnificent seven world cup shirts up for auction? and good morning. a bit of rain in the forecast for some of us today, especially in the north and west. but the heat and humidity will be on the rise for parts of england and wales. good morning. it's friday, the 15th of september. our main story. at least 11,000 people are now thought to have died — and many thousands more are still missing — after floods devastated eastern libya. international rescue teams have arrived in the worst affected regions, but doctors are warning that survivors remain in danger from contaminated water. 0ur correspondent simon jones has the latest. the number of dead is rising in a landscape that has been transformed, devastated. this is what is left
6:02 am
after more than 250 times. after more than 250 times the average monthly rainfall came down in just 2a hours and cascaded onto derna. entire neighborhoods swept away as two dams on the outskirts of the city failed. translation: a catastrophe hit libya. a huge catastrophe. may god accept the victims. we pray for theirfamilies. despite the scale of the destruction, the hunt for survivors goes on. some international help is arriving. these dogs are part of a spanish rescue team involved in a search against the clock. translation: we've been working all day on the buildings _ that have been completely destroyed by the dam's bursting. the scale of destruction in the city is devastating, with a huge number of buildings damaged and victims missing. that's why we are working as hard as we can. people survey the little that's left with a sense of disbelief,
6:03 am
and with questions. why weren't residents warned the storm was coming and given time to escape? why weren't the dams maintained to a higher standard? 0n the water's edge, the grim task of looking for the bodies that were swept away into the sea. it may be some time before the true extent of the tragedy is known. the un is talking of a calamity of epic proportions. this incident is something that we never seen in libya before. unfortunately, it claimed thousands of lives, and still there are other thousands that are missing. all efforts are put now for rescue teams to try to be able to manage this disaster. but it's really challenging. a challenge made even harder in a country that's governed by two rival groups. libya's internationally recognised regime has launched an investigation, promising anyone whose actions, or failure to act, played a part in the dams collapsing will be held accountable.
6:04 am
but few here have confidence in the ability of those in power to respond adequately to the sheer scale of what's happened in a country ravaged by years of instability and chaos. simon jones, bbc news. 0ur middle east correspondent, anna foster, is in the libyan city of benghazi, and sent this report. even though we are several days are now from the devastation of storm daniel, one thing that is clear is that we still don't know the scale of the devastation here. that death toll has been rising day after day. the mayor of derna has said he believes as many as 20,000 people could have been killed by that wall of water that came barrelling through the city. we know that two dams which were designed to hold back water of this scale and volume were just destroyed by the power of it. and when you look at those extraordinary and heartbreaking pictures, you can really see the
6:05 am
force of the water, the way that it has just carved the land away, the way that a cars have been picked up and thrown to one side, the way that whole buildings,, often with entire sleeping families inside, have been washed away. it shows you the scale of what libya is having to deal with. and it's clear here in benghazi, the closest airport, particularly to derna, you start to see that the aid, while it is being promised and slowly making its way here, it is by no means on the scale to really deal with what people need because many thousands more have been injured, many thousands more have been displaced. and this country, with its infrastructure almost completely destroyed by more than a decade of conflict, is in no position to deal with the situation, the catastrophic situation, that is now finding itself in.— now finding itself in. anna foster re ”ortin. now finding itself in. anna foster reporting- six — now finding itself in. anna foster reporting. six minutes _ now finding itself in. anna foster reporting. six minutes past - now finding itself in. anna foster reporting. six minutes past six. i reporting. six minutes past six. then, we have had development overnight regarding a ten—year—old
6:06 am
girl who was found dead in her home. yeah, this is a story we have been following a week, naga, thank you. the father, stepmother and uncle of sara sharif are due in court later this morning, charged with her murder. they have also been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child. jessica lane is outside guildford magistrates. what do we know this morning? that's right. what we know is that here at guildford magistrates�* court is where those three relatives of sara sharif are due to appear later this morning. they are herfather, urfan sharif, herstepmother, then morning. they are herfather, urfan sharif, her stepmother, then batool, and faisal malik. they are all charged with murder and also with causing or allowing the dice of a child. it is after sara was found dead at the family home in woking here in surrey on the 10th of august. a postmortem examination found that sara had what were described as multiple and extensive
6:07 am
injuries. herfather, herstepmother and her uncle arrived back in the uk from pakistan on wednesday. they were arrested shortly after their plane touched down at gatwick airport at around half past seven on wednesday evening. surrey police say that sara�*s mother, 0lga, is being kept updated with what is happening. and she is being supported by specially trained police officers. then it is here at guildford magistrates�* court where those three relatives of sara sharif are due to appear later this morning. jessica, thank you. jessica lange. unions fear thousands of workers at tata�*s port talbot steelworks could lose theirjobs, despite plans for hundreds of millions of pounds to be invested in the site. the bbc understands a deal could soon be announced, with the government offering £500 million to help the site produce greener steel. hannah has more.
6:08 am
morning. about 4000 people are employed at tata steel works in port talbot. it is the biggest steelworks in the country. but under the steel unions fear they could be as many as 3000 job losses as the company transitions to greener ways of working, which, it says, will need fewer workers. this deal has been months in the making. tata has been asking for hundreds of millions of pounds from the uk government to help switch the plants to coal—fired blast furnaces that can run on zero carbon electricity. the company will also invest £700 million of its own money on the deal. this is being seen as the thing that could secure the future of the site. but unions really are not happy. they say they have been shut out of negotiations. and it is clearly something where the transition to net—zero will lead to certain compromises and
6:09 am
difficulties in negotiations that have to be made. thank you for now. we will be live in the region a little bit later. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has said cancelling the hs2 rail project between manchester and birmingham would let down the north of england. the government has refused to guarantee the future of that part of the project, with ministers said to be concerned over delays and the ballooning cost of the project. but mr burnham said failure to complete it would hamper attempts to level up england. whatever people think about hs2, whether they are in favour or not, what we can all agree on is that there has been gross mismanagement of this project by the government. but why should it be the north of england that pays the price? what we are going to end up with here is, in the southern half of the country, modern high—speed network, and the northern haveleft with victorian infrastructure. crumbling victorian infrastructure. flights at gatwick airport are returning to normal this morning,
6:10 am
after delays and cancellations because of a lack of air traffic control staff. thousnads of passengers have been affected, prompting ryanair�*s chief executive michael 0�*leary to call for the head of air traffic control to resign. it comes after the uk—wide failure of the it system over the august bank holiday weekend. gatwick has apologised for any inconvenience caused. the labour leader sir keir starmer said the party�*s plans to boost the number of workers processing asylum claims would mean hotels, barges and military sites would no longer need to be used to house asylum seekers. he�*s rejected a claim by the home secretary suella braverman that labour would make britain a "dumping ground" for europe�*s migrants. the former spanish football federation president, luis rubiales, will appear in court in madrid today, to respond to accusations of sexual assault. he was filmed kissing spain forward jenni hermoso after the team won the world cup. hermoso said it was not consensual, but mr rubiales said it was mutual.
6:11 am
joe biden�*s son, hunter, has become the first child of a sitting us president to be criminally prosecuted. he�*s been charged with three counts of lying when buying a gun while he was a drug user. it follows a plea bargain deal that fell apart in july that would have prevented the charges. here�*s our north america correspondent peter bowes. the prospect of another criminal trial to overshadow next year�*s presidential election campaign. this time it�*s the sitting president�*s son who�*ll be in the dock. hunter biden, a long—time target of his father�*s political rivals, is facing three charges. two, that he wrongly claimed not to be using drugs when he completed paperwork required to buy a gun in 2018. and a third that, based on the false statements, he illegally possessed the gun during an 11 day period in october that year. if convicted, he could face 25 years in prison, although charges of this nature are rarely punished with anyjail time.
6:12 am
mr biden�*s lawyer called the allegation improper and partisan interference by republicans. the charges have come about because a plea deal between hunter biden and prosecutors fell apart injuly. it involved him pleading guilty to two minor tax charges. but the arrangement collapsed when the judge questioned whether it would give mr biden immunity for crimes he could be found liable for in the future, possibly related to his business dealings in ukraine and china. the charges against hunter biden come two days after republicans in congress opened an impeachment investigation into his father, claiming that when he was vice president, joe biden benefited financially from his son�*s work overseas. it all makes for a busy and complicated year ahead. joe biden will be campaigning for a second term in the white house,
6:13 am
with the legal woes of his son in the headlines and the possibility of an impeachment trial in the senate. his likely opponent, donald trump, will also have his hands full as he runs for the white house again. the former president�*s due on trial in four separate criminal cases. he�*s facing more than 90 charges, including allegations that he tried to overturn the result of the 2020 election. america is poised for a presidential campaign year like no other. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. mps have urged the government to commit to regulations to allow self—driving cars in the uk. they argue that if this doesn�*t happen, other countries could gain an advantage in the technology. the government says it�*s putting safety first. here�*s our transport correspondent, katy austin. at the moment you can take your hand off the wheel on uk motorways if you are driving the one model of car that has had the relevant technology approved in this country. i had a go back in the spring.
6:14 am
but this is not autonomous, or fully self—driving. in the us, driverless taxis are allowed to carry passengers on the streets of san francisco, but it hasn�*t gone completely smoothly. a recent collision with a fire engine raised fresh safety concerns. the uk government backs the idea of vehicles which can drive themselves for all or some of the time on our roads. trials are being done with a safety driver behind the wheel. getting to the point where they can be widely introduced is complicated. big questions need to be addressed, including who is responsible if there is a crash. consumers and drivers need to understand their roles and responsibilities for the safe operating of this vehicle. secondly, is the safety aspect. so, are these self driving vehicles actually safer than manually driven vehicles? and then, finally, is that vehicle manufacturers are willing to share that data for the greater benefit of everyone else.
6:15 am
today�*s report by a committee of mps says the government needs to get on with creating the necessary laws and regulations. what we are calling for is, in the king's speech coming up in november, that space is available for this legislation go through. if we don't move now, our competitors will catch up with us. so, time is of the essence to secure britain's leading position in this work. among the issues which have been raised, concerns that people will become less skilled behind the wheel as more automation is brought in. also, the report says a plan is needed to make sure all drivers understand the new technology. driving tests might have to change. self driving vehicles could bring big benefits, but there is still some way to go on the journey. katy austin, bbc news. 16 minutes past six. how is the weather looking? so i can tell us. what a lovely backdrop.
6:16 am
yeah, good morning. gorgeous. lovely start from anita day. certainly another day of mixed fortunes in terms of the weather. some of us are going to be seen cloud and outbreaks of rain. 0ther going to be seen cloud and outbreaks of rain. other areas, warm sunshine, particularly the further south and east you are. that is down to the fact we have this warm front with us. it is slow—moving, drifting further north. to the south of it is warm and humid air spelling and from the near continent. that would be with us across much of england and wales for the next couple of days. further north we have this band of rain. to the north of that, quite a fresh start in the north of scotland. breezy too. you will be stuck under the rain for a good part of the day. for northern ireland, southern scotland, northumberland as well. furthersouth, mistand southern scotland, northumberland as well. further south, mist and fog patches which will clear away. then we are looking at warm sunshine. fairweather cloud in the afternoon for much of england and wales.
6:17 am
foreign authoring and, southern scotland and northern ireland you are sat on the weather front with outbreaks of rain all day. to the north of that, 14 or 15 degrees. a real contrast in those temperatures. down towards the south—east we are looking at 25, possibly 26 degrees. a final taste of summer over the next few days in the south. through this evening and tonight, this band of rain stays with us. it becomes more patchy and showery in nature. we will also see some heavy showers working into the channel islands. you may hear the odd rumble of thunder as we head into saturday morning. a reasonably mild in the south. france further north. saturday still pretty warm for many of us. 25, 20 6 degrees for southern parts of england and wales. there will be some showers towards the north and west. by the time we get asunder it is looking cooler and fresher. more and with heavy downpours for many. thank you. see you later. last bit of summer.
6:18 am
make the most of it. as the death toll continues to rise in libya after sunday�*s devastating floods, aid agencies across the world are preparing their own responses to the disaster. we�*rejoined now by salah aboulgasem, from islamic relief uk, which has launched an appeal to help the many thousands of people left homeless. good morning. what have you been hearing from people that you are in contact with in the devastated area? i am originally libyan and i have been coordinating our operations and talking to friends, distant relatives, colleagues, who are now on the ground actually delivering. it is devastating. this is a major humanitarian crisis. we are hearing horrific eyewitness accounts of the fact that bodies are everywhere. there is a major stench of death, a
6:19 am
lot of pain, suffering, grieving. i can�*t say people are coming to terms with it because you can�*t come to terms with such a disaster. but what has happened has happened and it is our duty to prevent a further humanitarian crisis, and that would be waterborne diseases, further death due to the absence of food and shelter, medical assistance. we are on the ground. 0ur teams out there. as you mentioned in the report, we asked islamic relief have launched a major international appeal, and we are calling out to everybody. we are at a mosque in birmingham. they are all supporting our appeals. today is the friday prayer. many around the world will be praying their friday prayers, praying for those who passed and raising vital funds that are really needed to reach the people on the ground. pare are really needed to reach the people on the ground. are you expecting _ people on the ground. are you expecting today _ people on the ground. are you expecting today there - people on the ground. are you expecting today there are - people on the ground. are you expecting today there are to l people on the ground. are you | expecting today there are to be people on the ground. are you i expecting today there are to be a significant rise in donations as
6:20 am
friday prayers take place? yeah, that is the _ friday prayers take place? yeah, that is the idea. _ friday prayers take place? yeah, that is the idea. what _ friday prayers take place? yeah, that is the idea. what we - friday prayers take place? yeah, that is the idea. what we have i that is the idea. what we have actually done is we have asked for this united friday prayer across the uk and across many other places. people will be praying for those who passed in libya and morocco. friday prayers are really important to raise vital funds to reach the people on the ground. and this centre is actually sending a team out to join centre is actually sending a team out tojoin our team is on centre is actually sending a team out to join our team is on the ground in morocco tomorrow. we encourage people to come on their friday prayer, and our website, to donate. it really does make a difference. it is crucial and important at this key period both in morocco with the earthquake and libya, where the numbers are higher and the needs are greater. the accesses were limited. there are a limited aid agencies who are able to get access. we were able yesterday and the day before to reach derna, the most heavily hit area, and get
6:21 am
out there with supplies to reach the people in need. we are really encouraging people to continue to support by donating and helping islamic relief reach the people on the ground, because the numbers are many. the need is great. and we have to do as much as we can to reach the people in need. you to do as much as we can to reach the peeple in need-— people in need. you have got teams out there, particularly _ people in need. you have got teams out there, particularly in _ people in need. you have got teams out there, particularly in derna, - out there, particularly in derna, those people who have lost their homes, where are they sheltering? well, yesterday we were delivering to people in schools. any facility thatis to people in schools. any facility that is safe, that is still stable. there are more than 40,000 people who have gone to other parts of the country. the biggest city in the east of the city, about 200 kilometres from derna, there are people who have gone there. another big city in the east of the country, the day before we were helping people there, we were setting up and working with medical facilities to provide the assistance. people are
6:22 am
staying within derna. what is really heartbreaking, and i must state this and i�*m sorry to put it in this way, but people really feel now that if they don�*t find bodies of their relatives in the next couple of days, because we have gone beyond thinking that the people who are missing have survived because of the amount of time under the circumstances, so people don�*t want to leave. of people don�*t want to leave them. they want to stay there, they want to be left feeling at ease to at least know they can provide some dignity and very safely and feel some sense of end to this trauma that people for a long time will be suffering. 0ne trauma that people for a long time will be suffering. one of our other messages is that this is a long—term challenge now. yes, we are permitted to providing this first form of relief. —— committed. but it�*ll take a long time to rebuild homes and lives. the psychological impact of what people have been through cannot
6:23 am
be underestimated. the challenges are many. be underestimated. the challenges are man . , , ., are many. indeed. i wish you well today with — are many. indeed. i wish you well today with the — are many. indeed. i wish you well today with the fundraising. - are many. indeed. i wish you well today with the fundraising. thank| today with the fundraising. thank you very much. today with the fundraising. thank you very much-— today with the fundraising. thank you very much._ we i today with the fundraising. thank. you very much._ we will today with the fundraising. thank - you very much._ we will be you very much. thank you. we will be live in libya — you very much. thank you. we will be live in libya in — you very much. thank you. we will be live in libya in the _ you very much. thank you. we will be live in libya in the next _ you very much. thank you. we will be live in libya in the next hour. - let�*s take a look at today�*s papers. the daily mirror leads on what it calls fresh turmoil over the planned hs2 rail line, after downing street refused to commit to the train�*s branch between birmingham and manchester. the front page of the sun carries a story about the disappearance of madeleine mccann. the paper says the german police�*s case against the prime suspect, christian brueckner, appears to have collapsed, after a key witness threatened to stop helping the investigation. and the times is leading on a survey which shows british adults today care less about children being obedient and having good manners than they did in 1990, and now place more value on independence, hard work and imagination. and take a look at
6:24 am
these striking images. stars from across the world of fashion and the arts descended on london�*s theatre royal drury lane last night for the vogue world event, which kicked off london fashion week. make of those outfits what you will. it is also london fashion week. again, interpret that how you wanted. the rapper and singer—songwriter stormzy wore an asymmetrical suit to perform at the showcase. the model twiggy is pictured here in a red velvet number, carrying a mini louis vuitton bag. not quite sure what to make of sienna miller�*s out of it. i love it. i think she�*s fabulous. if you have got it, flaunt it. kate winslet is looking pretty cool. always very stylish. i much
6:25 am
preparation do you think went into making sure their outfits were crease free? sienna miller�*s was the most creased i have ever seen. it is not creased. it had ruffles. and things. they were creases. they weren�*t. it was an excess of material. i�*m going to turn up with my shirt like that and call it an excess of material. do you use an iron? yes, i do. do you use an iron? yes, ido. ifind do you use an iron? yes, i do. ifind it quite calming. yeah. there is something like that. we are the wrong generation. 0ne yeah. there is something like that. we are the wrong generation. one in three people under the age of 35 don�*t own an iron. i did a straw poll in the office and asked who was 35 and under. hands went up. even if they had an iron, they don�*t use them. they are all into steamers. 0ne them. they are all into steamers. one of our brilliant camera operators today, 23, iron, yes or
6:26 am
no? you don�*t own one. she owns one because she sows, which is interesting in itself, but doesn�*t iron anything. 90% of over 40 fives have an iron. i have got a steam iron. it is really quick and easy. you can do it with the thing on the hanger. to iron or not to iron, that is the question. you don�*t have a choice in thisjob. 26 minutes past eight. the first minister of wales, labour�*s mark drakeford, has insisted that the introduction of a new lower speed limit in most residential areas from sunday will save lives. the leader of the commons, penny mordaunt, has described the policy as insane, saying it would damage the welsh economy and cost drivers money. here�*s more from our wales correspondent, hywel griffith. as a delivery driver, every minute counts. for nick, crisscrossing the streets of south wales, time really is money.
6:27 am
which is why he is anxious about what lies ahead. from sunday a third of the road network in wales will go from 30, down to 20 miles an hour, as a default limit. the aim is to slow traffic and save lives. most journeys will take around one minute longer. nick is not convinced. it is just something else that is just making it harder. it is more control that is being forced upon us. most motorists are responsible. there are only a few people who will spoil it for everybody else. and they are going to carry on doing it regardless of whatever laws and legislation is put in place. here in st brides major, they have been trialling the new limit. applying it across the village, not just on specific streets.
6:28 am
for some families, it has made the more confident in going out to walk and cycle. for me with young children, they don't pay attention - when they are walking down the road. actually, if they step offl the pavement or they are on their bikes and still learning how to ride i their bikes and they wobble into the road, there is plenty more time to correct themselves - or for drivers to react _ which there wouldn't have been in the past particularly at the busy times with lots of cars _ parked up at the school. when the new restriction was trialled, traffic was monitored for hours to see what difference it would make. on average vehicles to travel more slowly. but still the majority of drivers, 55%, still broke the 20 mile an hourlimit. the man leading the charge on slowing wales down is adamant a lower limit will save lives. even if it does frustrate some drivers, him included. i have to make a conscious effort to drive at 20 miles an hour.
6:29 am
i think i am not a particularly patient driver. for me i have to make an effort to do it. but i know i am making that effort because, as i make the same effort to observe other speed limits, i am doing it because there is a good reason for doing that, and i see many other people doing the same. scotland is also set to introduce a national 20 mile an hour limit in 2025. road safety charity is one of the rest of the uk to follow road safety charities want the rest of the uk to follow in the same direction. we�*ll be talking to mark drakeford about that policy at ten past eight. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, with me, alison earle. the father, stepmother and uncle of sara sharif are due in court later, after being charged with her murder.
6:30 am
urfan sharif, beinash batool, and faisal malik have also accused of causing or allowing the death of a child. the 10—year—old�*s body was found at her home in woking five weeks ago. the three adults are due to appear at guildford magistrates court. the mayor has accused the government of dither and delay over proposed fire safety rules. in a letter to housing secretary michael gove, sadiq khan said 34,000 homes on major development sites in the capital were unable to proceed as it�*s unclear how the rules would be applied. the changes are expected to require new buildings taller than 18 metres to have a second staircase. the government says it�*s working rapidly to design transitional arrangements. think of the barbican and grey concrete buildings may spring to mind. but what�*s less well known is the botanical garden inside it. to help change that and entice more visitors there, artist ranjani shettar has been invited to create artwork for the barbican�*s conservatory and —
6:31 am
best of all — it�*s free. i think it�*s not being very accessible. been very accessible. it�*s just not been open to the public. and that�*s one of our other big endeavors is with having rajani�*s work in here is create more accessibility, have more opening hours. so it�*s open exclusively on sundays, late on fridays. and so it�*s critical for us that we maintain it as a free space. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking. no service on thejubilee line between london bridge and north greenwich due to a signal failure at canada water. a good service elsewhere. now onto the weather with katerina. hello there. good morning to you. we�*re in for a very settled day out there today. it�*s going to be dry for all areas with plenty of sunshine and wind
6:32 am
to remain light. it�*s also going to be feeling rather warm. so this morning, a few pockets of mist and fog. those will lift plenty of sunshine to follow and it is going to stay dry through this afternoon. occasionally there�*ll be a bit of high level cloud around, so that sunshine may appear hazy. and today we�*re looking at highs of around 25 celsius. now through this evening, any cloud will dissipate to allow for clear skies through the course of the night. winds remain light. so again, we do have that risk of a few pockets of mist and fog. temperatures tonight expected to dip to around 11 to 13 celsius. now into saturday. we�*ll start off on a dry and sunny note, but cloud amounts will tend to increase through the course of the afternoon, may get one or two isolated showers. but i think for many of us, it should stay mostly dry. highs ofaround highs of around 26 and sunday is more unsettled and will be breezy. the showers and longer spells of rain and potentially sundry and
6:33 am
staying thundery through next week. there�*s more on our website and social media including pictures of a huge sinkhole in eltham. that�*s it i�*m back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. throughout the cost of living crisis, shoppers have been on the lookout for deals and discounts to counter the rapid rise in food prices. one way has been through loyalty card schemes. but are they really worth it? new research suggests special prices might not always be quite what they seem. hannah has the details. as someone who has lots of loyalty cards, you think it�*s a good discount, but am i really getting a discount? i discount, but am i really getting a discount? ., �* ~ ., discount, but am i really getting a discount? ~ ., , discount? i don't know about you but eve time discount? i don't know about you but every time i — discount? i don't know about you but every time i open — discount? i don't know about you but every time i open my _ discount? i don't know about you but every time i open my purse - discount? i don't know about you but every time i open my purse for- discount? i don't know about you but every time i open my purse for a - every time i open my purse for a discount or loyalty card for every shop i go into.
6:34 am
yes, chances are as you�*re watching this you probably are a member of one of those loyalty schemes — with some retailers recently introducing the idea of discount prices for people who use one. but at the consumer group which? they�*ve been looking at whether those special prices are worth it. this is what they did — they tracked prices for over 100 products at sainsburys and tesco, over 6 months, to see when products were at their so—called �*regular price�* versus when they were discounted. they also compared the loyalty card prices with other supermarkets. the results suggest that most of the time around a third of the products were being sold at the lower price, leading which to ask whether these discounted prices are really a discount at all. let�*s look at an example. tesco were selling a bottle of heinz salad cream that cost £3.90 — or £3.50 with a loyalty card. researchers found that this regular price had been increased from £2.99 just a few weeks before the promotion started.
6:35 am

6:38 am
and canada co—hosting. a leading expert in the effects of heat on the body is worried. i would have concerns. and they would run from the players through to the officials and the spectators. many of the temperatures we�*re seeing now in the us would exceed the levels at which exercise would be encouraged. this is going to have to be looked at very carefully and consideration given to changing the location and the timing of these kind of events. and that�*s exactly what fifa had to do in 2015, when they took the unprecedented decision to move last year�*s qatar world cup to winter because of the country�*s extreme summer heat. five cities in texas and mexico are among those that will stage games in 2026. and it�*s here where a stationary area of high pressure, known as a heat dome, brought record breaking temperatures lasting weeks this summer. just take a look at some of them
6:39 am
for those five host cities — mid—thirties to low forties of celsius. and, when you add in humidity, something us forecasters call a heat index, it can feel much hotter. in 2017, lioness rachel daly collapsed with heat exhaustion during a game played in high humidity in houston, in texas. it's something that fifa really need to look at. in the next world cup if they're planning in temperatures above 40 degrees, it makes life incredibly difficult. playing in mexico in the 1986 world cup, it was unbelievably hot. i was actually kind of dizzy and wandering around and couldn't really perform, and most of the players were the same, because it was ridiculous. in earlyjune, over100 million north americans were living with air quality advisories, with six world cup host cities affected by canadian wildfire smoke. it�*s bad for you. that will have health consequences. it�*s certainly going to be easier for the players and the spectators if it�*s held april/may,
6:40 am
or september/october. fifa referred the bbc to existing controls and considerations, including the monitoring of temperatures by officials, with referees advised to take water breaks whenever, climatic controls and roofs in some stadia, and the allocation and scheduling of matches, to minimise the effects of high temperatures. football�*s far from the only sport being affected by heat waves, of course, making it harder to both stage events and compete in them safely. dan roan, bbc news. it's it�*s something we�*ll be talking about a lot and we have spoken about the heat in sport. talking of a different heat.— different heat. the heat of pressure- _ different heat. the heat of pressure- i _ different heat. the heat of pressure. i was _ different heat. the heat of pressure. i was thinking i different heat. the heat of i pressure. i was thinking last different heat. the heat of - pressure. i was thinking last night the name pressure. i was thinking last night the game was _ pressure. i was thinking last night the game was on. _ pressure. i was thinking last night the game was on. france - pressure. i was thinking last night the game was on. france playing, j the game was on. france playing, host nation, at eight o�*clock last night and when i got in yesterday i

6:42 am
against new zealand, the hosts were far from convincing, in this one last night against uruguay. admittedly, france made 12 changes, to the team that beat new zealand — and their, second string side eventually sparked into action, scoring three tries — to win 27—12 — but the host nation will want to improve, in their final two pool matches. translation: the important thing was the win. _ what i told is that we won the game. we are not here to play beautiful rugby, to do this, that, or the other. so we met our first goal which was to win. whether there is some frustration, it might be more amongst the players because we want them to be happy, we want them to play. but i think they feel in half of their contract, they won. maybe we haven�*t had time to talk about it, but they are frustrated. but let us be respectful of our opponent. as for the home nations, wales are back in action tomorrow when they face portugal, in nice.
6:43 am
wales silenced their critics, with their superb, opening game victory, against fiji, last weekend, putting them in a strong position in their group. it will be a very different, side though tomorrow, with players needing recovery time, and head coach warren gatland has made 13 changes to the team. hooker dewi lake, captains the side. don�*t write us off, this team is capable of doing something pretty special. and i still believe the first priority is for us to be a really tough team to beat. and if we do that, we get things right and the preparation is good, we don�*t pick up too many injuries, then there is no reason why we can�*t continue to progress a long way in this tournament. that is the plan for us. ireland are also in action tomorrow, although making slightly fewer changes than wales. just four alterations to their side that beat romania — for their match against tonga in nantes — talisman, johnny sexton keeps his place at fly half — despite only making his comeback last weekend, after six months out. ireland team manager, mick kearney says that the hard work being put in behind the scenes has the team in good shape.
6:44 am
from the player point of view, there is no egos, they are incredibly humble. there is an incredible work ethic between the staff and the players, the coaching team, they are working so hard to make the players better which i think in turn builds their confidence and belief. so i don�*t think it is something you can build overnight, it is something that has been building for the last four years, really. and spare a thought for scotland's dave cherry — who's been ruled out of the tournament with concussion after slipping on stairs at his team hotel. stuart mclnally will replace him in the squad. scotland don't play again, until the following weekend, while england playjapan this sunday evening. a day after ben stokes stole the headlines for england's men, nat sciver brunt produced a stunning record breaking performance
6:45 am
of her own, to help england's women seal a one—day series win against sri lanka. on her 100th one day appearance, she scored england's fastest hundred in the format, reaching the milestone in just 66 balls at leicestershire's grace road. she was eventually caught for 120, as england made 273. with the ball it was charlie dean's day, as she claimed her first five—wicket haul in international cricket, including three in one over, as sri lanka were bowled out forjust 112. england win the series 2—0. pretty happy with that. i thought i could have gone a bit faster, to be fair, but, yeah, i was hitting some nice shots. i was trying not to get too ahead of myself, so, yeah, happy with that. great britain could take a big step towards qualifying to the knockout stages of the davis cup today, if they can beat switzerland in their second group match in manchester. australia lost to gb in their first match,

attracted around two million views. this is the 88mm, and this was capable of spoiling the day of lots of allied tank crew. he�*s even been recognised in the street by fans. it�*s nice, but at the same time it�*s — "ooh, i wasn�*t expecting that to happen!" did you ever think you�*d be a youtube star? not in a million years, no! well, this is my first time in a tank, and it�*s really exciting because you get to see and touch the vehicle up close, and being able to come to the museum and see these things is really impressive. but for many people, accessing the museum online is just as fascinating. the channel recently surpassed the milestone of half a million subscribers. most of them are middle—aged men. we lifted up the cover on the engine, we took off a few parts so we could lift it up... but this 18—year—old from canada is one of the younger enthusiasts. the youtube video sparked a passion for tanks. now his dad has brought him here on his dream trip

as a birthday gift. and on tiktok, too, i see posts all the time of little tours and showing the insides of tanks and stuff. and i don't think, all the way in canada, i would have even known about this place without seeing it on social media. so i can understand that, on the surface of it, tank history videos might not be everybody�*s cup of tea, but we tell some fantastic stories. the growing web community helped this place survive the pandemic. now, more than a quarter of the museum�*s turnover — around £2 million — is generated online. well, as you�*ve seen, by complete historical accident, we�*re in a quiet corner of dorset. so the challenge for us has always been about how we raise awareness — because, of course, no—one�*s going to visit us if they don�*t know we exist or they don�*t know where we are. so youtube has allowed us a very low—cost way of reaching this massive global audience. the museum began around 100 years ago. the charity behind it hopes its web

6:51 am
certainly the picture today and while some of us will see some wet weather today, other areas are clear skies and sunshine but once the morning mist and fog clears away, a bit murky on your morning commute but the mist and fog will clear away and there is some rain around towards the north and west but in the south things will be turning very warm and it�*s all down to the fact we have a slow—moving front you can see on the satellite image, the swathe of cloud as the warm front nudges north it will bring rain ritual meal —— mean that the winds are coming in from a southerly direction so that wind is drawing in from spain and france in the near continent and heading across much of england and wales, so a real contrast in the weather, warm and humid in the south and mist and fog clearing through the day. much fresher across the north—west of the uk and northern parts of scotland and northern ireland but in between the air masses there is the rain that will sit across southern
6:52 am
scotland, northern england and northern ireland and a real contrast in the field to the weather so only 14 15 degrees in the field to the weather so only 1415 degrees and to the front, 25 or 26 and one or two spots will stop a final taste of something warm and summery through the next couple of days but there is the weather front that sticks through the night and becomes showery in nature across northern ireland and northern england and further showers will work in the channel isles and the south west wing and you might hear rumbles of thunder book the central and east it stays down and pressure conditions across the north west. fairly similar to today and again we have a slow—moving front on saturday bringing showery rain to southern scotland and is northern england but fizzling out through the day and a few more showers from the south—west but another warm and muggy day in the south—east, 26 or 27 on saturday possibly but really fresher conditions, 14 or 15 and a contrast
6:53 am
in the temperatures and as we head through sunday we have heavy showers becoming more extensive through the day particularly across england and wales and there could be thunderstorms pushing north. pretty warm towards the south—east but the cooler and fresher air eventually moves across all parts into next week. thank you so much we will see you later. ~ , ., ~' thank you so much we will see you later. ~ , ., ~ ., ., ., later. when you think of the italian world cup in _ later. when you think of the italian world cup in 1990, _ later. when you think of the italian world cup in 1990, what _ later. when you think of the italian world cup in 1990, what do - later. when you think of the italian world cup in 1990, what do you i later. when you think of the italian i world cup in 1990, what do you think of? , ,., from pavarotti to paul gascoigne, the italian world cup — known as italia 90 — retains a special place in the hearts of many football fans. england were knocked out in the semi—finals, but their journey through the tournament revived support for the national team. now, one anonymous former player of that team is selling the shirts he collected from opposition players during the world cup. navtej johal has the story.
6:54 am
the moments, the magic, the memories. for england fans who remember it, the 1990 world cup in italy holds a special place in their hearts. england were defeated on penalties — how else? — by germany in the semifinal. but the tournament reignited the love affair with the national team. which is why there is so much interest in these shirts. they were worn by players who lined up against england in the tournament, and were exchanged at the end of each of their seven matches as part of a shirt swap with an england player. so, that�*s paul gascoigne signature there. that�*s incredible. the collection also includes goalkeeper peter shilton top from that semi—final,
6:55 am
signed by the whole squad and given to his team—mate after the penalty shoot—out defeat. this ex—player contacted us himself directly, and in it came. often it can be through intermediaries or agents. but this was a footballer coming to me directly. it was just, wow, if these shirts could talk, what could they tell us from those amazing matches we all remember so well? well, the memories of this world cup may be priceless for both the players who wore these shirts, and the fans who watched them. but if you want to get your hand on this collection, well, it could cost you up to £300,000. the derbyshire auction house, which is selling them, simply says the owner of the shirts is a former footballer who played a crucial role in italia 90, and enjoyed a stellar career in the sport. everybody wants to know, charles, who is the ex—england footballer, this mysterious former player, who is selling these shirts? yes, i think it�*s important
6:56 am
to stress due diligence and client confidentiality. in this instance, the consignor, the seller, does wish to remain anonymous, but certainly the collection has great provenance and great pedigree. can you give usjust a clue, a hint, about who this might be? i think it�*s nice that obviously one is buying the romance of the game. and that romance, i�*m sure, will continue in that question of who that player is. rather than a public auction, bids for the shirts are being invited by private tender for the next month. and there�*s plenty of expectation that this collection of international football history will generate lots of interest. navtaonhal, bbc news, derbyshire.

one thing that is clear is we still don�*t know the scale of the devastation here. that death toll has been rising day after day. the father, stepmother and uncle of ten—year—old sara sharif are charged with her murder — they�*ll appear in court later today unions fear thousands ofjob losses at britain�*s biggest steelworks as investment in greener production will require fewer workers. relief for the home nation france at the rugby world cup. they survive a huge scare against rank outsiders uruguay as the second round of matches got underway, with wales, ireland and england all involved again this weekend. my gosh! they're going against the wind. the wind is 120 miles to the west. is there life out there? nasa says there�*s no reason to believe ufos are linked to aliens — but it�*s not ruling out the prospect of extra terrestrial activity

and it�*s a mixed day weather wise. some rain in the north end of the west. warm sunshine for parts of england and wales. full forecast later. good morning. it�*s friday, the 15th of september. our main story. at least 11,000 people are now thought to have died — and many thousands more are still missing — after floods devastated eastern libya. international rescue teams have arrived in the worst affected regions, but doctors are warning that survivors remain in danger from contaminated water. simonjones has the latest. the number of dead is rising in a landscape that has been transformed, devastated. this is what is left after more than 250 times the average monthly rainfall came down in just 24 hours and cascaded onto derna. entire neighborhoods swept away as two dams on the outskirts of the city failed.
7:03 am
translation: a catastrophe hit libya. a huge catastrophe. may god accept the victims. we pray for theirfamilies. despite the scale of the destruction, the hunt for survivors goes on. some international help is arriving. these dogs are part of a spanish rescue team involved in a search against the clock. translation: we've been working all day on the buildings _ that have been completely destroyed by the dams bursting. the scale of destruction in the city is devastating, with a huge number of buildings damaged and victims missing. that�*s why we are working as hard as we can. people survey the little that�*s left with a sense of disbelief, and with questions. why weren�*t residents warned the storm was coming and given time to escape? why weren�*t the dams maintained to a higher standard? on the water�*s edge,
7:04 am
the grim task of looking for the bodies that were swept away into the sea. this it may be some time before the true extent of the tragedy is known. the un is talking of a calamity of epic proportions. this incident is something that we never seen in libya before. unfortunately, it claimed thousands of lives, and still there are other thousands that are missing. all efforts are put now for rescue teams to try to be able to manage this disaster. but it's really challenging. a challenge made even harder in a country that�*s governed by two rival groups. libya�*s internationally recognised regime has launched an investigation, promising anyone whose actions, or failure to act, played a part in the dams collapsing will be held accountable. but few here have confidence in the ability of those in power to respond adequately to the sheer scale of what�*s happened in a country ravaged by years of instability and chaos.

wednesday evening. surrey police say that all gatt sharif, sara�*s mother, has been kept updated with the latest. —— all gatt. she is being supported by specially trained police officers. here at guildford magistrates�* court we are expecting those three relatives of sara sharif in the next few hours.— those three relatives of sara sharif in the next few hours. thank you for now. i in the next few hours. thank you for now- i know— in the next few hours. thank you for now- i know you _ in the next few hours. thank you for now. i know you will _ in the next few hours. thank you for now. i know you will keep _ in the next few hours. thank you for now. i know you will keep us - now. i know you will keep us updated. unions fear thousands of workers at tata�*s port talbot steelworks could lose theirjobs, despite plans for hundreds of millions of pounds to be invested in the site. the bbc understands a deal could be announced soon, with the government offering £500 million to help the site produce greener steel. tomos morgan is in port talbot this morning. just explain this for us. a big investment, but it could mean many thousands fewer jobs? investment, but it could mean many thousands fewerjobs?_ thousands fewer “obs? yeah, that is exactly right. — thousands fewerjobs? yeah, that is exactly right. you _ thousands fewerjobs? yeah, that is exactly right. you can _ thousands fewerjobs? yeah, that is exactly right. you can see _ thousands fewerjobs? yeah, that is exactly right. you can see the - thousands fewerjobs? yeah, that is exactly right. you can see the blast| exactly right. you can see the blast furnaces behind me that work around
7:09 am
the clock here in port talbot. they are powered by coal and probably one of the biggest emitters of the carbon emitters across the uk. for a number of years they have been looking at replacing them. and also, as part of the deeper —— decarbonisation plan, one of the ideas has been touted of changing them into electric furnaces. these blast furnaces are coming to the end of their life, so something had to be done anyway. the problem for workers is that these electric arc furnaces are far less labour—intensive. so, when you make it more green, what you actually then do along the electric arc furnace route is you require less staff. these are the fears. these workers, and the union reps were here yesterday meeting members from labour, they had no idea what is in these plans that might come out today, what it might mean for them. but there are fears and there have been reports of up to 3000 workers
7:10 am
could be made redundant across tata. this plant here employs about 4000 staff, the largest in the uk. it is at the strategic asset for the uk because it is the only steelworks. after a period of covid in the war in ukraine it is integral that steel operations remain in the uk, both from an industrial perspective, but also from an economic perspective as well. absolutely. thank you. tomos morgan. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has said cancelling the hs2 rail project between manchester and birmingham would let down the north of england. the government has refused to guarantee the future of that part of the project, with ministers said to be concerned over delays and the ballooning cost of the project, but mr burnham said failure to complete it would hamper attempts to level up england. whatever people think about hs2, whether they are in favour or not, what we can all agree on is that there has been gross mismanagement of this project by the government. but why should it be the north
7:11 am
of england that pays the price? what we are going to end up with here is, in the southern half of the country, a modern high—speed rail network, and the northern half of the ountry left with crumbling victorian infrastructure. that won�*t level us up. it�*ll do the complete opposite. flights at gatwick airport are returning to normal this morning, after delays and cancellations because of a lack of air traffic control staff. thousands of passengers have been affected, prompting ryanair�*s chief executive michael 0�*leary to call for the head of air traffic control to resign. it comes after the uk—wide failure of the it system over the august bank holiday weekend. gatwick has apologised for any inconvenience caused. the labour leader sir keir starmer said the party�*s plans to boost the number of workers processing asylum claims would mean hotels, barges and military sites would no longer need to be used to house asylum seekers. he�*s rejected a claim by the home secretary suella braverman that labour would make britain a dumping ground for europe�*s migrants.

the former spanish football federation president, luis rubiales, will appear in court in madrid today to respond to accusations of sexual assault. he was filmed kissing spain forward jenni hermoso after the team won the world cup. hermoso said it was not consensual, but mr rubiales said it was mutual. joe biden�*s son, hunter, has become the first child of a sitting us president to be criminally prosecuted. he�*s been charged with three counts of lying when buying a gun while he was a drug user. it follows a plea bargain deal that fell apart in july that would have prevented the charges. here�*s our north america correspondent peter bowes. the prospect of another criminal trial to overshadow next year�*s presidential election campaign. this time it�*s the sitting president�*s son who�*ll be in the dock. hunter biden, a long—time target of his father�*s political rivals, is facing three charges. two, that he wrongly claimed not
7:13 am
to be using drugs when he completed paperwork required to buy a gun in 2018. and a third that, based on the false statements, he illegally possessed the gun during an 11 day period in october that year. if convicted, he could face 25 years in prison, although charges of this nature are rarely punished with anyjail time. mr biden�*s lawyer called the allegation improper and partisan interference by republicans. the charges have come about because a plea deal between hunter biden and prosecutors fell apart injuly. it involved him pleading guilty to two minor tax charges. but the arrangement collapsed when the judge questioned whether it would give mr biden immunity for crimes he could be found liable for in the future, possibly related to his business dealings in ukraine and china. the charges against hunter biden come two days after republicans
7:14 am
in congress opened an impeachment investigation into his father, claiming that when he was vice president, joe biden benefited financially from his son�*s work overseas. it all makes for a busy and complicated year ahead. joe biden will be campaigning for a second term in the white house, with the legal woes of his son in the headlines and the possibility of an impeachment trial in the senate. his likely opponent, donald trump, will also have his hands full as he runs for the white house again. the former president�*s due on trial in four separate criminal cases. he�*s facing more than 90 charges, including allegations that he tried to overturn the result of the 2020 election. america is poised for a presidential campaign year like no other. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. britain�*s top stars from the world of fashion and the creative arts have descended on london�*s west end for what is being called the biggest sartorial event of the season.

7:18 am
the grainy blob he zoned in on appears to be a ufo. it�*s the kind of unclassified material nasa has been looking into. we went to the space agency�*s headquarters hoping for answers. the nasa independent study team did not find any evidence that uap have an extra terrestrial origin. but we don�*t know what these uap are. ok, no alien life yet. or the kind many space watchers hope for. but it�*s the public nasa is now relying on to have them gather data on uap. it is the new term for ufos. the rebrand is partly to encourage everyone to report sightings without feeling they�*ll be judged. but most of us still use the term ufos. so i wonder how much is the stigma still a problem for you? there�*s a lot of folklore out there.
7:19 am
that�*s why we entered the stage, the arena, to try to get into this from a science point. nasa is hiding something down. it announced a new head of research for uap, but due to fears of safety they won�*t name them. by releasing this report publicly nasa says it is being open and transparent. for decades, the space agency, and the us government, have been accused of covering something up, which they�*ve denied. but not everyone is convinced. injuly, some former military pilots gave stunning testimony to congress, claiming the government wasn�*t telling the truth. parts of our government are aware of more about uap than they let on. excessive classification packages keep crucial information hidden. top pentagon officials said it was insulting to staff. some still don�*t know what to believe. i don't think they are telling us the truth. i they know more. we found that out in other things, so why not this be one of- them that they are not telling us about also? i the vastness of galaxies and the amount of unexplored space,
7:20 am
it's entirely possible. no concrete answers yet vent to the question, is there early in life out there? but if you spot anything strange in the skies, nasa wants you to please get in touch. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. let�*s get more on this now with dr eamonn kerins, who�*s an astrophysicist atjodrell bank. morning. good morning. what did you make of the press _ morning. good morning. what did you make of the press conference - make of the press conference yesterday? when you learnt a lot and yet we didn�*t. what did you make of it? it yet we didn't. what did you make of it? ., , ., _ ~ yet we didn't. what did you make of it? ., _~ it? it was headed by bill nelson, national administrator, - it? it was headed by bill nelson, national administrator, and - it? it was headed by bill nelson, national administrator, and he l it? it was headed by bill nelson, i national administrator, and he was presenting a report that had been compiled by the uap independent study team. we are not supposed to call them ufos any more. unidentified anomalous phenomena. it is ridiculous. it is a tongue twister! some of the ufo flat sightings in the past have been reflections in windows rather than
7:21 am
anything in the sky. this captures all of that. but they were charged from june of last year to compile a report about how we should improve the way in which data is gathered. they made a host of recommendations. they made a host of recommendations. they haven�*t themselves so much been investigating these, although they did comment on some of the investigations that have taken place, but they made a number of recommendations about how data can be gathered that is more scientifically useful, how they can use modern techniques like a! and machine learning to save through the day tomorrow. there was a very interesting recommendation about using the public. that nasa should develop a phone app. that every public site something interesting, they unit —— use the phone app, which controls the camera, and as well as taking pictures it will record lots of meta data, time, location, weather etc. that will allow scientific investigations to take place. it dawned on me that the
7:22 am
task is you are dealing with data, some of it is honest data, some of it perhaps not so honest. and you have to develop ways of sifting through that. it is kind of similar to a problem we are all facing these days with social media about what information you believe, what information you believe, what information is deliberately falsified? i get the feeling that some of the technique state may be developing could have relevance in our everyday lives too, about how to trust data. ,, ., ., our everyday lives too, about how to trust data. ,, ., . ., trust data. something that quite a few --eole trust data. something that quite a few people remember, _ trust data. something that quite a few people remember, it - trust data. something that quite a few people remember, it is - trust data. something that quite a few people remember, it is on - trust data. something that quite a j few people remember, it is on the back of your mind when you think about these photos, these alien photos from mexico. there were these reported extraterrestrials presented to mexican authorities this week. they were likely to range and nonhuman alien corpses. claimed. this goes down to the data. what evidence you have. i don�*t know if it is true. they have been greeted

7:26 am
after being found on a doorstep, covered in a toxic substance. rosa was just three months old when she suffered horrific injuries that left her unable to move and blink. after undergoing multiple surgeries and receiving round the clock care, she�*s now well enough to move to her forever home this weekend. here�*s her story. rosa came here on the 2nd of february earlier this year. we got a phone call at teatime saying that there was a cat sat on a doorstep that looked very unwell. she was severely dehydrated. she had substance all over her. unfortunately, as we were washing it off, this revealed horrific wounds on all her legs, on her head, and she was unable to blink — her eyes were fixed open. we really didn�*t think she was going to survive. she remained on intravenous fluid therapy. she was actually in this pen here.
7:27 am
and she was looked after around the clock, 24 hours a day, here in our critical—care ward. rosa was in critical care for 19 weeks, and over that time we were doing daily dressings on her leg — sometimes twice a day. and when she was strong enough, she had the first of her eye surgery with an aim that she could blink. she was three month when she arrived with us, and she�*s never growled, hissed or shown any aggression orfrustration — despite is treating her every day, giving her injections and doing her dressings, and then obviously having the surgery. all her legs have healed up, all herface has healed up. she has lots of little bald patches on herface —
7:28 am
that fur may come back, and it may not — but the most important thing is that she can blink. on sunday, we are having a celebration of rosa�*s recovery — we will be having tombolas, raffles, refreshments — and then we will be waving her off as she goes to her new home. she�*s always been affectionate and loving, but she�*sjust an absolute miracle. my little warrior princess. katie lloyd reporting on the heartbreaking but promising story of rosa. earlierwe heartbreaking but promising story of rosa. earlier we were talking about supermarket loyalty cards. you see these signs and you think you are getting a discount if you use your loyalty card. but an investigation
7:29 am
suggests it might not always be the case. that those of us may not always be what they seem. lots of you have felt the need to get in touch. most of us have a loyalty card in our wallet. do you? i have many. i think it isjust because of the cost of living crisis. why wouldn�*t you want to save money if it is on offer? are there really others? if it is on offer? are there reall others? �* are there really others? and whether the are are there really others? and whether they are good — are there really others? and whether they are good deals _ are there really others? and whether they are good deals is _ are there really others? and whether they are good deals is a _ are there really others? and whether they are good deals is a question. i they are good deals is a question. when you see the prices next to each other of course you want to get the lower price. i mean, we have had loads of people getting in touch. loads of people saying the deal are confusing, especially if you compare bottles and javas things that are different sizes. may one is discounted, maybe one is not. that is a whole other story. nick and chippenham has been doing his own research. he said he has been through all —— older seats. the loyalty price is often the same as the real prize. he says the same thing happens with wine. kirsty

7:32 am
the three adults are due to appear at guildford magistrates�* court. the mayor has accused the government of "dither and delay" over proposed fire safety rules. in a letter to housing secretary michael gove, sadiq khan said 34,000 homes on major development sites in the capital were unable to proceed as it�*s unclear how the rules would be applied. the changes are expected to require new buildings taller than 18 metres to have a second staircase. the government says it�*s working rapidly to design transitional arrangements. think of the barbican and grey concrete buildings may spring to mind. but what�*s less well—known is the botanical garden inside it. to help change that and entice more visitors there — artist ranjani shettar has been invited to create artwork for the barbican�*s conservatory and, best of all, it�*s free. i think it�*s not been very accessible. it�*s just not been open to the public. and that�*s one of our other big
7:33 am
endeavours is with having rajani�*s work in here is create more accessibility, have more opening hours. so it�*s open exclusively on sundays, late on fridays. and so it�*s critical for us that we maintain it as a free space. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking. there�*s no service on the overground between highbury and islington and clapham junction, crystal palace, west croydon. and severe delays on thejubilee line. now on to the weather with katerina. hello there. good morning to you. we�*re in for a very settled day out there today. it�*s going to be dry for all areas with plenty of sunshine and wind to remain light. it�*s also going to be feeling rather warm. so this morning, a few pockets of mist and fog. those will lift, plenty of sunshine to follow and it is going to stay dry through this afternoon. occasionally there�*ll be a bit of high level cloud around, so that sunshine may appear hazy. and today we�*re looking at highs of around 25 celsius. now through this evening, any cloud will dissipate to allow for clear skies through the course
7:34 am
of the night. winds remain light. temperatures tonight expected to dip to around 11 to 13 celsius. now into saturday. we�*ll start off on a dry and sunny note, but cloud amounts will tend to increase through the course of the afternoon, we may get one or two isolated showers. but i think for many of us, it should stay mostly dry. highs of around 26, and sunday is more unsettled and will be breezy. showers and longer spells of rain and potentially thundery and staying thundery through next week. that�*s it i�*m back in around half—an—hour. hello, this is breakfast, with

ben thompson and naga munchetty. it�*s been five days since devastating floods hit eastern libya, and as the death toll rises, the international rescue efforts are continuing this morning. let�*s have a look at what we know so far. on sunday, storm daniel hit libya and brought more than 400 millimetres of rain to some regions injust 24 hours — a record level of rainfall. the city of derna was devastated following the collapse of two dams and four bridges. so far, 11,000 people are thought to have died. and that figure is likely to rise — the mayor of derna estimated the death toll could reach 20,000. we�*rejoined now by bashir ben amir, from the international rescue committee, who�*s in tripoli. and nasib almnsori, an engineer in the city of tobruk whose family has been affected by the floods. good morning, thank you for being
7:36 am
with us at what is a difficult time. i know you have people they�*re working on the ground in derna, what are they telling you about the relief effort currently under way? thank you for having me throughout this crisis and emergency going on in derna. unfortunately it is very shocking for everyone, for the inhabitants, and for us. the rescue is going on 24/7. our teams are working day and night to be able to assess the situation and intervene in the proper way. relief is coming from everywhere, from the community itself which is something very good. and also from international actors as well. again, we are conducting this with other international organisations to design a response
7:37 am
thatis organisations to design a response that is integrated. the needs are high and mounting day after day. more than 30,000 people have been displaced inside the city and outside this area. an emergency shelter is needed and assistance is needed, the infrastructure is completely destroyed unfortunately, com pletely destroyed u nfortu nately, and completely destroyed unfortunately, and this has already put obstacles in front of the search and rescue teams. tea ms. u nfortu nately teams. unfortunately also the numbers you mentioned, they might be increasing in the coming days. we are really doing our best to respond effectively with our partners. you are an engineer, you know what has happened, you have had growing concerns about the dam, there are big questions raised about that. you also have family in derna. what do

7:40 am
logistics, the city already has seven entrances before the storm and floods. now we have only one entrance which is the southern entrance. the eastern, western and coastal entrance is usually used, because of the landslide, they are not accessible any more and not usable any more until further notice. they telecommunications infrastructure is almost completely not working, there is only one which is not reliable and not consistent. plus, there is any fuel or gas. the electricity is cut, the water is cut. it is really very difficult for logistics to be able for us to intervene. and also for the other
7:41 am
actors. right now we are thinking how we are going to facilitate intervention, are we going to alleviate the burden at least for the people who are most in need and for our teams, we need to secure the lowest standards of logistics to be able to operate. so it is really difficult. and by the way, when the two dams were reached, both of them, the east and west park, to be able to move from the west park to the east part, before it was around 15 kilometres, now it is over 100, to be able to move from one side of the city to another which is another complication. how are your family members or friends moving around derna, where

7:43 am
you. mike�*s here with the sport. good morning. yes, the second round of matches at the rugby world cup is underway with a wakeup call for hosts france last night, in lille. while thousands of wales and england fans are gathering in nice, down in the south, ahead of their games this weekend. and down by the beach looking nice in nice — is our sports correspondent andy swiss. hi, andy. we can chat about the home nations shortly. but first, relief in the end for the hosts france in a great game for the neutrals wanting to see an upset. welcome, another glorious morning here. if you early morning
7:44 am
sunbathers on the beach, taking a dip in the mediterranean. last night as you say, all france fans watching match in the bars got something of a scare, against uruguay. uruguay, one of the big underdogs of the tournament. they played really well. when they scored a tryjust after half—time, they were only 13—12 behind. where we are about to see one of the great world cup shocks? not quite in the end. france scored a couple of late tries to ultimately win 27—12. two out of two for the host nation. but suddenly it was a lot tougher than the france fans would have hoped for and expected. france, two out of two so far. a warning to the home nations wales and ireland, who appear to have winnable
7:45 am
games this weekend? and when you start resting players? wales and england both have big matches here this weekend. wales are first up against portugal tomorrow. thousands of wales fans already arriving, hoping to see their team take another step towards the quarterfinals. portugal are one of the big underdogs in this tournament, they have never won a world cup match. the last time wales play them, wales scored 100 against portugal so they should be confident of winning, especially after wales beat fiji. also in action we have ireland against tonga, ireland or world number one,, they put a tape asked romania in their opening
7:46 am
match. tonga are a much better side but even so ireland should be pretty confident of making it two out of two tomorrow. now, scotland have a week off, so england complete the weekend againstjapan on sunday night. england in action againstjapan on sunday. england had a terrible build—up to this tournament. they should be feeling better about themselves after that impressive win against argentina last weekend. a when they achieved with 14 men for pretty much the entire match after tom curry was sent off in the opening minutes. japan are capable of extraordinary things when it comes to the rugby world cup. in 2015japan comes to the rugby world cup. in 2015 japan famously beat south africa in a world cup shock. in 2019, japan beat scotland and
7:47 am
ireland on their way to the quarterfinals. japan, not quite the same team that they were then four years ago. england should be confident of making it two out of two. after everything england fans have seen, they won�*t be taking anything for granted on sunday. some england fans also going all the way from marseille after the match last weekend. a day after ben stokes stole the headlines for england�*s men, nat sciver brunt produced, a stunning record breaking performance of her own to help england�*s women seal a one—day series win against sri lanka. on her 100th one—day appearance, she scored england�*s fastest 100 in the format — reaching the milestone in just 66 balls at leicestershire�*s grace road. she was eventually caught for 120, as england made 273 for 8.
7:48 am
with the ball it was charlie dean�*s day — as she claimed her first five wicket haul in international cricket, including three in one over, as sri lanka were bowled out forjust 112 in this reduced overs match. england winning the series 2—0. great britain could take a big step towards qualifying to the knockout stages of the davis cup today — if they can beat switzerland in their second group match in manchester. victory would take them clear at the top because australia who lost to britain in their first match managed to beat france 2—1 winning with an ace in the deciding doubles, with max purcell and matt ebden, leaping forjoy. a kangaroo inspired celebration after their straight sets win. gb the only unbeaten side now then in the pool. england�*s matt fitzpatrick and scotland�*s ritchie ramsey both enjoyed excellent opening rounds at golf�*s bmw pga championship at wentworth — but they find themselves behind a surprise leader. world number 232 marcus helligkilde leads the way. the dane hit an opening round of 64 — eight under par —
7:49 am
to put himself two shots clear at the top of the leaderboard — and just ahead of fitzpatrick and ramsey. rory mcilroy will begin today on level par. lots of eyes on this with the ryder cup two weeks away. and all 12 players in there. see you later. i wonder if they will have good weather. and you had a nice day yesterday playing golf. i took my waterproofs are just in case. we all try to get our personal weather forecast. the weather is looking decent at
7:50 am
work worth over the next couple of days but it will be all change at the weekend. the weather is turning more unsettled. at the moment it is a mixed picture, some of us have glorious sunshine, warm conditions, this is swansea this morning. elsewhere, outbreaks of rain which could be slow—moving. turning very warm towards the south with humid air spilling its way up from france and spain. here is this slow—moving weather front and spain. here is this slow—moving weatherfront dividing and spain. here is this slow—moving weather front dividing line between the south. much fresher across the northern part of the uk. across the northern part of the uk. across the north of scotland, still breezy, showers for the northern isles. cloud and rain for belfast and newcastle. forthe cloud and rain for belfast and newcastle. for the south, we should see a fine day, mist and fog this morning which should clear away.
7:51 am
long spells of warm sunshine, rain moving further north through the day. it is dividing the temperatures, 14 in the north, up to 26 in the south. there�*s evening and overnight rain becomes patchy and showery. we will see heavy showers are moving into the south—west. thank you. just months after the excitement of the eurovision song contest in liverpool — the uk�*s entry mae muller says she�*s emerged stronger and an even better artist. now she�*s ready to release her debut studio album — full of songs about love and loss, dating and relationships. let�*s have a look at her highlights. # instead i wrote a song about how you did me wrong. # i could have cried at home and spent the night at home. # instead i wrote a song. # i know much better now. # me and my girls are up

8:02 am
thought to have died — and many thousands more are still missing — after floods devastated eastern libya. international rescue teams have arrived in the worst affected regions, but doctors are warning that survivors remain in danger from contaminated water. our correspondent simon jones has the latest. the number of dead is rising in a landscape that has been transformed, devastated. this is what is left after more than 250 times the average monthly rainfall came down in just 24 hours and cascaded onto derna. entire neighborhoods swept away as two dams on the outskirts of the city failed. translation: a catastrophe hit libya. a huge catastrophe. may god accept the victims. we pray for theirfamilies. despite the scale of the destruction, the hunt for survivors goes on. some international help is arriving. these dogs are part of a spanish rescue team involved in a search
8:03 am
against the clock. translation: we've been working all day on the buildings _ that have been completely destroyed by the dams bursting. the scale of destruction in the city is devastating, with a huge number of buildings damaged and victims missing. that�*s why we are working as hard as we can. people survey the little that�*s left with a sense of disbelief, and with questions. why weren�*t residents warned the storm was coming and given time to escape? why weren�*t the dams maintained to a higher standard? on the water�*s edge, the grim task of looking for the bodies that were swept away into the sea. it may be some time before the true extent of the tragedy is known. the un is talking of a calamity of epic proportions. this incident is something that we never seen in libya before. unfortunately, it claimed thousands
8:04 am
of lives, and still there are other thousands that are missing. all efforts are put now for rescue teams to try to be able to manage this disaster. but it's really challenging. a challenge made even harder in a country that�*s governed by two rival groups. libya�*s internationally recognised regime has launched an investigation, promising anyone whose actions, or failure to act, played a part in the dams collapsing will be held accountable. but few here have confidence in the ability of those in power to respond adequately to the sheer scale of what�*s happened in a country ravaged by years of instability and chaos. simon jones, bbc news. our correspondent anna foster is in the city of benghazi this morning. good morning. it isjust getting good morning. it is just getting the aid to the right places, isn�*t it?
8:05 am
it is. it is exactly that. that takes two forms. the first is actually getting the aid into the country in the first place because libya has been ravaged by more than a decade of civil war and it doesn�*t have contingencies in place. it doesn�*t have the equipment, it doesn�*t have the equipment, it doesn�*t have the equipment, it doesn�*t have things like the medical care, for example. all of those things had already been decimated by the civil war. it is getting those things in from the outside. bear in mind that libya is split into two halves. there are two different opposing governments. just getting permission to bring that aid into the country is enormously difficult. when it gets here it is moving it from benghazi to derna. again, that is environmental issues. the road has been completely washed away in some places. some people face checkpoints. there is a risk of sporadic violence en route as well. when they finally get to derna, you have seen some of the images that
8:06 am
are just extraordinary. words like wasteland are being used because part of the land, of the earth, have just been carved away by the sheer force of this water. it is all about in many ways the survivors now who are trying to battle against the elements, whose homes have been lost, who are living among these many, many bodies, and who are trying to avoid things like disease. it is an enormously difficult, catastrophic moment. and really the scale of this is even nowjust unfolding. scale of this is even now 'ust unfoldingfi scale of this is even now 'ust unfoldinu. ~ ., coming up to seven minutes past eight. then, we had some developments overnight. this was following the discovery of a ten—year—old little girl at her home in surrey in woking a few days ago. yes, we have been following this story all week. the father, stepmother and uncle of sara sharif are due in court later this morning, charged with her murder. they have also been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child. jessica lane is outside
8:07 am
guildford magistrates. jessica, what�*s the latest? it was just after midnight that surrey police released that information, saying they were bringing charges against three members of sara sharif�*s family. it is herfather, urfan sharif, her stepmother, beinash batool, and her uncle, faisal malik. they are all charged with murder. they are also all charged with causing or allowing the death of a child. and it�*s after sara sharif, who was ten years old, was found dead at the family home in woking here in surrey. a postmortem examination found that she had what were described as multiple and extensive injuries. sara�*s father, her stepmother and her uncle returned from pakistan via dubai on wednesday. they were arrested shortly after their plane touched down at gatwick airport. police here say that sara�*s mother, olga sharif,
8:08 am
is being kept up—to—date and she is being supported by specially trained officers. it is here at guildford magistrates�* court in the next few hours that we are expecting those three members of sara sharif�*s family to appear. jessica, thank you. unions fear thousands of workers at tata�*s port talbot steelworks could lose theirjobs, despite plans for hundreds of millions of pounds to be invested in the site. the bbc understands a deal could be announced soon, with the government offering £500 million to help the site produce greener steel. tomos morgan is in port talbot this morning. just explain for us first of all this big investment, but it could meanjob losses? this big investment, but it could mean job losses?— mean 'ob losses? yeah, we still don't meanjob losses? yeah, we still don't know _ meanjob losses? yeah, we still don't know the _ meanjob losses? yeah, we still don't know the exact _ meanjob losses? yeah, we still don't know the exact details, i meanjob losses? yeah, we still| don't know the exact details, but don�*t know the exact details, but number —— most of the reports seem to be indicating that these blast furnaces would be converted into electric arc furnaces. what that

8:15 am
wales correspondent, hywel griffith. as a delivery driver, every mile and minute counts. for nick, crisscrossing the streets of south wales, time really is money. which is why he is anxious about what lies ahead. from sunday a third of the road network in wales will go from 30, down to 20 miles an hour, as a default limit. the aim is to slow traffic and save lives. most journeys will take around one minute longer. nick is not convinced. it is just something else that is just making it harder. it is more control that is being forced upon us. most motorists are responsible. there are only a few people who will spoil it for everybody else. and they are going to carry on doing it regardless of whatever laws and legislation is put in place.
8:16 am
here in st brides major, they have been trialling the new limit. applying it across the village, not just on specific streets. for some families, it has made the more confident in going out to walk and cycle. for me with young children, they don't pay attention - when they are walking down the road. actually, if they step offl the pavement or they are on their bikes and still learning how to ride i their bikes and they wobble into the road, there is plenty more time to correct themselves - or for drivers to react _ which there wouldn't have been in the past particularly at the busy times with lots of cars _ parked up at the school. when the new restriction was trialled, traffic was monitored for hours to see what difference it would make. on average vehicles did travel more slowly. but the majority of drivers, 55%, still broke the 20 mile an hourlimit. the man leading the charge on slowing wales down is adamant a lower limit will save lives. even if it does frustrate some
8:17 am
drivers, him included. i have to make a conscious effort to drive at 20 miles an hour. i think i am not a particularly patient driver. for me i have to make an effort to do it. but i know i am making that effort because, as i make the same effort to observe other speed limits, i am doing it because there is a good reason for doing that, and i see many other people doing the same. scotland is also set to introduce a national 20 mile an hour limit in 2025. road safety charities want the rest of the uk to follow in the same direction. hywel griffith, bbc news. we�*re joined now by mark drakeford, the first minister of wales, who is in bodelwyddan. good morning. yourself saying in that report you are going to make a

very conscious effort to drive at 20 mph when that applies on certain roads from the 17th. what are the instructions to police to traffic officers now if anybody is breaking the law? will there be any leeway? well, in the early days of the new speed limit of the police will take a proportionate approach, an approach that relies on information and education. the police have said that anybody travelling between 20 and 30 mph will not be at risk of being prosecuted. they will be spoken to, they will be reminded of the new law. the reasons for it will be set out for them. and there will be set out for them. and there will be a proportionate approach to it and its enforcement. ok. be a proportionate approach to it and its enforcement.— be a proportionate approach to it and its enforcement. ok, and for how lona will and its enforcement. ok, and for how long will that — and its enforcement. ok, and for how long will that last? _ and its enforcement. ok, and for how long will that last? well, _ and its enforcement. ok, and for how long will that last? well, look, - and its enforcement. ok, and for how long will that last? well, look, i- long will that last? well, look, i antici ate long will that last? well, look, i anticipate there _ long will that last? well, look, i anticipate there will _ long will that last? well, look, i anticipate there will be - long will that last? well, look, i anticipate there will be a - long will that last? well, look, i| anticipate there will be a number long will that last? well, look, i- anticipate there will be a number of weeks, while people get used to a

change of this sort. it is a major change. it will need time to bed in. it is not a change that is being introduced in order to make life difficult for people. and therefore, the enforcement authorities will approach it in that way. very well used to doing it for speed limits of all sorts in every part of wales. the approach will be a reasonable one, in which we give people a chance to get used to the new regime. and then, as the police say, people who flagrantly and deliberately are not prepared to obey the rules that anybody else will be following, but will be a different matter. you will be following, but will be a different matter.— will be following, but will be a different matter. ., ~' ., different matter. you will know the kind of kickback _ different matter. you will know the kind of kickback against _ kind of kickback against this, the reaction to this. how have you considered how this will affect people such as carers, or delivery drivers, who are under quite considerable time constraints? if all of a sudden theyjourney time is

being cut, or being increased by a third, how have you related to businesses, as have you spoken to businesses, as have you spoken to businesses in terms of making them more considerate or more amenable to the restrictions i carers and delivery drivers have, for example? well, first of all, i don�*t think that the journey well, first of all, i don�*t think that thejourney times well, first of all, i don�*t think that the journey times will be added to by a third. you had the report from saint brides major. those journeys were timed. very careful information collected. the length of time that was added to a journey when the speed limit went from 30 to 20 mph was somewhere between 20 and 30 seconds. so actually, i think in practice the impact will be very modest. and it will be absorbed. like all the other things... we modest. and it will be absorbed. like all the other things. .. we can an ue like all the other things. .. we can argue about _ like all the other things. .. we can argue about that, _ like all the other things. .. we can argue about that, but _ like all the other things. .. we can argue about that, but whether - like all the other things. .. we can argue about that, but whether it l like all the other things. .. we can| argue about that, but whether it is argue about that, but whether it is a third or not, but the fact is that

you know those particular people who work in those industries are under considerable time constraints. the question is wider, really. what are you saying to businesses to make sure that those people who are under time constraints, and committed to vehicles, relies upon vehicles to do theirjobs, that that consideration is applied? == theirjobs, that that consideration is a- lied? ., theirjobs, that that consideration isaulied? . ~ theirjobs, that that consideration isaulied? ., . , is applied? -- reliant. well, first of all, to repeat, _ is applied? -- reliant. well, first of all, to repeat, the _ is applied? -- reliant. well, first of all, to repeat, the impact - is applied? -- reliant. well, first of all, to repeat, the impact on | of all, to repeat, the impact on journeys will be modest. of course employers have a responsibility to make sure that their employees are able to discharge their obligations within the law. people do that now. people will have to do it in the future. ., ~' ., people will have to do it in the future. ., ~ ., ., future. you know as well as i do that delivery _ future. you know as well as i do that delivery drivers, _ future. you know as well as i do that delivery drivers, and - future. you know as well as i do | that delivery drivers, and carers, are under immense strain to make the visits. they are often having to cut into their own time, they are often under pressure. if it is not happening now, what makes you think it is going to happen in the future?
8:22 am
well, responsible employers should organise the working day for employees in a way that allows them to discharge the duties that fall on them in a way that allows them to do it within the law. they should be doing that now. they will need to do it in the future. there is no excuse for employers deliberately to set out to require their employees not to be able to live with the rules that everybody else has to live with. and in this case, let�*sjust rememberfor a moment, all this is about making sure that all those people, drivers included, are safe on the road, and that we reduce hearing where the number of road traffic accidents and the number of people who lose their lives every day on the roads in wales. iloathiile people who lose their lives every day on the roads in wales. while i have ou day on the roads in wales. while i have you with _ day on the roads in wales. while i have you with us _ day on the roads in wales. while i have you with us it _ day on the roads in wales. while i have you with us it would - day on the roads in wales. while i have you with us it would be - day on the roads in wales. while i have you with us it would be not l have you with us it would be not good if i didn�*t ask you about what is happening at tata steel in port

8:25 am
now, one anonymous former player of that team is selling the shirts he collected from opposition players during the world cup. navtej johal has the story. the moments, the magic, the memories. for england fans who remember it, the 1990 world cup in italy holds a special place in their hearts. england were defeated on penalties — how else? — by germany in the semifinal. but the tournament reignited the love affair with the national team. which is why there is so much interest in these shirts. they were worn by players who lined up against england in the tournament, and were exchanged at the end of each of their seven matches
8:26 am
as part of a shirt swap with an england player. so, that�*s paul gascoigne signature there. that�*s incredible. the collection also includes goalkeeper peter shilton top from that semi—final, signed by the whole squad and given to his team—mate after the penalty shoot—out defeat. this ex—player contacted us himself directly, and in it came. often it can be through intermediaries or agents. but this was a footballer coming to me directly. it was just, wow, if these shirts could talk, what could they tell us from those amazing matches we all remember so well? well, the memories of this world cup may be priceless for both the players who wore these shirts, and the fans who watched them. but if you want to get your hand on this collection, well, it could cost you up to £300,000. the derbyshire auction house, which is selling them, simply says the owner of the shirts is a former footballer who played a crucial role in italia 90, and enjoyed
8:27 am
a stellar career in the sport. everybody wants to know, charles, who is the ex—england footballer, this mysterious former player, who is selling these shirts? yes, i think it�*s important to stress due diligence and client confidentiality. in this instance, the consignor, the seller, does wish to remain anonymous, but certainly the collection has great provenance and great pedigree. can you give usjust a clue, a hint, about who this might be? i think it�*s nice that obviously one is buying the romance of the game. and that romance, i�*m sure, will continue in that question of who that player is. rather than a public auction, bids for the shirts are being invited by private tender for the next month. and there�*s plenty of expectation that this collection of international football history will generate lots of interest. navtaonhal, bbc news, derbyshire.

so this morning, a few pockets of mist and fog. those will lift plenty of sunshine to follow and it is going to stay dry through this afternoon. occasionally there�*ll be a bit of high level cloud around, so that sunshine may appear hazy. and today we�*re looking at highs of around 25 celsius. now through this evening, any cloud will dissipate to allow for clear skies through the course of the night. winds remain light. so again, we do have that risk of a few pockets of mist and fog. temperatures tonight expected to dip to around 11 to 13 celsius. now into saturday. we�*ll start off on a dry and sunny note, but cloud amounts will tend to increase through the course of the afternoon, we may get one or two isolated showers. but i think for many of us, it should stay mostly dry. highs of around 26 and sunday is more unsettled and will be breezy. showers and longer spells of rain and potentially sundry and staying thundery through next week. there�*s more on our website and social media including pictures

hello this is breakfast, with ben thompson and naga munchetty. throughout the cost—of—living crisis, shoppers have been on the lookout for deals and discounts to counter the rapid rise in food prices. one way has been through loyalty card schemes — but are they really worth it? new research suggests special prices might not always be quite what they seem. hannah has the details. yes, chances are as you�*re watching this you probably are a member of one of those loyalty schemes — with some retailers recently introducing the idea of discount prices for people who use one. but at the consumer group which?
8:35 am
they�*ve been looking at whether those special prices are worth it. over the course of six months, they tracked prices for over 100 products at sainsbury�*s and tesco. and the results suggest that most of the time around a third of the items were being sold at the lower price, leading which to ask whether these discounted prices are really a discount at all. let�*s look at an example. tesco were selling a bottle of heinz salad cream that cost £3.90 — or £3.50 with a loyalty card. researchers found that just a few weeks beforehand the regular price had beenjust £2.99. in the case of sainsbury�*s, they looked at a jar of nescafe coffee which was priced just over £8, discounted to £6 with a nectar card. but if you�*d gone to morrison�*s or waitrose you could have had that same coffee for £6 anyway, without a so—called discount. which also point out that it could be difficult for some people to access
8:36 am
the so—called offers. the requirement sometimes to use an app could make things difficult for people who are less comfortable with technology. and age and address restrictions could prevent young people or those living in temporary accommodation from benefiting. of course we put all this to both sainsbury�*s and tesco. they defended their loyalty schemes, saying that the research covers a small proportion of the thousands of products they sell on loyalty schemes. they also say that they follow strict rules around discounting set out by trading standards. thanks, hannah. well, lisa webb, a consumer law expert from which? has joined us to talk more about this this is something we will feign keenly in our pocket. what have you found? it really is confusing. we don�*t know whether these are good offers. they try to dress it up as

8:41 am
keep an eye on stuff and look at the original price. thank you. mike�*s here with the sport. you will be talking about the rugby but it is the solheim cup this weekend, then the ryder cup. the second round matches of the rugby world cup are getting under way. this will serve as a warning to all the fancied team, that you can�*t take anything for granted. the records will show, france have two wins from two at their world cup. but after being brilliant in their first match against new zealand, the hosts were far from convincing, in this one last night against uruguay. indeed it was the south american nation — ranked 17th in the world — who scored the first try, in lille, to silence the home crowd. admittedly, france made 12 changes to the team that beat new zealand —
8:42 am
and their second string side eventually sparked into action, scoring three tries — to win 27—12 — but the host nation will want to improve in their final two pool matches. translation: the important thing was the win. _ what i told the players is that we won the game. we are not here to play beautiful rugby, to do this, that, or the other. so we met our first goal which was to win. whether there is some frustration, it might be more amongst the players because we want them to be happy, we want them to play. but i think they feel in half of their contract, they won. maybe we haven�*t had time to talk about it, but they are frustrated. but let us be respectful of our opponent. as for the home nations, wales are back in action tomorrow when they face portugal, in nice. wales will be on their guard then now and after silencing their critics, with their superb, win against fiji,
8:43 am
they will now be massive favourites, against portgual, tomorrow. it will be a very different side though tomorrow, with players needing recovery time, and head coach warren gatland making 13 changes to the team. hooker dewi lake captains the side. don�*t write us off, this team is capable of doing something pretty special. and i still believe that. the first priority is for us to be a really tough team to beat. and if we do that, we get things right and the preparation is good, we don�*t pick up too many injuries, then there is no reason why we can�*t continue to progress a long way in this tournament. that is the plan for us. ireland are also in action tomorrow, although making slightly fewer changes than wales. just four alterations to their side that beat romania — for their match against tonga in nantes. talismanjohnny sexton keeps his place at fly half — despite only making his comeback last weekend, after six months out. from the player point of view, there is no egos, they are incredibly humble.
8:44 am
there is an incredible work ethic between the staff and the players, the coaching team, they are working so hard to make the players better which i think in turn builds their confidence and belief. so i don�*t think it is something you can build overnight, it is something that has been building for the last four years, really. what a week it�*s been in cricket. a day after ben stokes stole the headlines for england�*s men, nat sivver brunt produced a stunning, record—breaking performance of her own, to help england�*s women seal a one—day series win against sri lanka, and end their summer on a high. on her 100th one—day appearance, she scored england�*s fastest hundred in the format — reaching the milestone in just 66 balls at grace road. she was eventually caught for 120, as england made 273. with the ball, it was charlie dean�*s day — as she claimed her first five wicket haul in international cricket,
8:45 am
including three in one over, as sri lanka were bowled out forjust112. england winning the series 2—0. a here date in tennis, davis cup, great britain take on switzerland, in manchester. success would take them to the top of their group. and we have the solheim cup, ryder cup, davis cup, a busy day ahead. you will have square eyes when you come in tomorrow! enjoy it all. here�*s sarah with a look at this morning�*s weather. good morning. really mixed conditions today and the next couple of days. different weather conditions across different parts. ward and humidity in the south, range further north. this is the
8:46 am
picture in conway, that dividing line between the fresher and wetter weather, and warmer weather in the south. this is the story today and tomorrow, rain for some of us especially in the north and west, and very warm conditions in southern england and wales. there is a weather front on the satellite picture moving slowly further north. it is a slow moving today, the dividing line between the cool and breezy conditions across scotland and northern ireland. the warmth and humidity in the south across england and wales. we have mist and fog in the south, clearing away quickly. they had array will stay where it is across southern scotland and far north of england, northern ireland and isle of man. to the north, some sunshine, but only 14. in the south—east, we could see 26 degrees later today.
8:47 am
in the evening we still have cloud, the rain becomes patchy. overnight we will see showers working in through the channel islands and south—west. mist practice of starting tomorrow with low cloud. reasonably mild but in fresher conditions across the northern half of scotland, a chilly start to saturday. through the day, we have this slow—moving bird of cloud and outbreaks of rain. more showers in the south—west of england and wales. in central and eastern parts, 26 is possible but fresher further north. into the second half of the weekend, it changes more widely. we will see heavier and more persistent showers pushing in to the south, working both and eastward, bringing thunderstorms. still here mid—in the south—east. temperatures 21 degrees.
8:48 am
that trend continues into next week. feeling more autumnal as we say low pressure bringing weather fronts, the breeze picks up. monday we keep warm in east anglia but typically in the high teens. the next few days stay warm especially in the south, showers are further north. a thundery breakdown on sunday opens the doors for something more unsettled and fresher. a special set of guests coming up for you next. here is a special intro. # we have painted to the yeaer 3000.
