6:12 am
people and we asked if they were planning on leaving and they shook their heads and then we take a look over here in the other direction, and what you will see as hundreds of mainly university students, pro—palestine demonstrators who have also been gathering, and they have been critical of the speed of the police response and the fact that 15 people were injured, and one person remains in hospital and they continue their calls for the university to divest from israeli financial interests and are also calling for a ceasefire. there are some chance which people might consider anti—semitic but it�*s fair to say whatever happens in the coming hours there is a sense here in the us that this is going to continue to be an issue for president biden, particularly amongst the younger generation, dissatisfaction with the way he is

"rebel rouser" was just one of a number of his big hits in the 1950s and 60s. the grammy—award winner is hailed by many as one of the founding fathers of rock and roll and his pioneering style inspired the likes of bruce springsteen and george harrison. here�*s carol with a look at this morning�*s weather. good morning. it felt last week as if spring was finally going to be felt. will we feel more of it? you will feel it _ felt. will we feel more of it? you will feel it in — felt. will we feel more of it? you will feel it in the _ felt. will we feel more of it? you will feel it in the south today, the rain, _ will feel it in the south today, the rain. and — will feel it in the south today, the rain. and for— will feel it in the south today, the rain, and for some of us it's been a beautiful— rain, and for some of us it's been a beautiful week with warm weather and a tot of— beautiful week with warm weather and a lot of sunshine and of course we are in— a lot of sunshine and of course we are in the — a lot of sunshine and of course we are in the uk and it's very varied

6:17 am
up a support service for other bereaved young people and their families. since then, �*alfie�*s squad�* has been inundated with requests from across the uk, so alfie and his mum are now launching an online support group. to raise money to fund it, they�*ve taken part in a charity shark dive. our reporter abi smitton went along to join them. ominous music. i�*m feeling a bit nervous, but i feel like it�*s going to be really fun. how are you feeling? scared. nervous and excited. can't wait to do it. excited. yeah. nervous? no. you�*re not nervous at all. don�*t go in the water. it�*s what the film jaws taught us. but the children from alfie;s squads aren�*t likely to back down from a challenge. we met alfie earlier this year when we visited his weekly youth club. he set it up to help other children
6:18 am
like him who�*ve been bereaved by suicide. when suicide�*s such a specific issue and it feels so isolated and so personal, because when i first lost my dad i couldn�*t help but blame myself for it. it�*s a very isolating experience. every week, the children try new things drumming, painting, sports. frank and gill and their mum vicky have been there since day one back in august. when we started going, we were still at the phase where like every few nights one or the other of the boys would have big breakdowns and coming out with things that you just, you know, heartbreaking to hear. and they really lessened, and they�*re very few and far between nowadays and i think it is because they�*ve sort of they�*ve had all this these activities to look forward to and they�*ve made friends and they�*re genuinely excited to go.
6:19 am
so yeah, it�*s helped massively. since then, alfie�*s mum, alison, has been inundated with calls for help from across the country. they�*re now set to launch an online group while they try to raise more money to open up outside of liverpool. 0h! that�*s where the sharks come in. so to try the mask on, we�*re going to hold it against you and ask you to breathe in with your nose and it should stick to you. and that means that it fits nicely. you know, ijust want to say to all of you in the alfie's squad, first of all, respect for all you've been doing, heard so many amazing things. and i really hope you have a wonderful day at the bear grylls adventure with your shark dive. you're going to love this. it's an experience like no other. can't wait to see the photos, hear the stories. god bless. training complete. it�*s time to meet the sharks. we�*re diving.
6:20 am
he's been looking forward to it for ages. so i'm sure he's having a good time and it's good that he's with his friends as well. that's probably the best thing for him, that he's in there with everyone else from the group. are you proud of him? very proud. i'm proud that he's going ahead with it after all the planning we've done. so it's a once in a lifetime experience. this is definitely up there with something no one else has done. it was quite hard to walk, but it was really fun because all the sharks and fish were circling around me. it was really, really good. i definitely do it again. back on land and the adrenaline is wearing off. really cold. it's warm out here. apparently it's 24 degrees
6:21 am
and i don't believe it. - it's great that we've done it - and we raised loads of money doing so and everyone enjoyed it. great. yeah. it feels weird walking though. the money raised from the shark dive will go to fund alfie�*s squad sessions in merseyside and beyond. it�*s very important because it isn�*t, it isn�*tjust like a fun place where you get to do stuff that you won�*t do. it�*s with people who know exactly how you feel. it�*s for, like, children and adults. it'sjust raised a lot of awareness for alfie's squad. and obviously alfie's squad is very, very close to our hearts. that's going to be accessible from all across the country. people canjustjoin in on the tuesday night. being able to help other people, notjust from the merseyside area but beyond, just going to be massive for me and everyone involved. fears conquered, thousands of pounds raised. all in a day�*s work for alfie�*s squad. abi smitton, bbc news.
6:22 am
good luck to alfie as he launches the new part of his campaign. let�*s take a look at today�*s papers. "our hearts are broken" is the headline on the front of the mirror, as it reports on the tributes paid to 14—year—old daniel anjorin, who was killed in a sword attack in north—east london. boy". the record leads on the snp�*sjohn swinney, who is expected to launch his leadership bid today. the telegraph is reporting that police in ireland will be sent to the border in an ongoing row with the uk about migrants — however rishi sunak has urged the irish prime minister not to reinstate checkpoints, which he says could jeopardise the peace process. the guardian is leading on the hundreds of students who have been arrested in the us following pro—palestine demonstrations. the image shows protestors clashing at the university of california.
6:23 am
a 75,000—year—old neanderthal skull, made up of more than 100 fragments of bone, has been painstakingly put back together, and used to create a 3d reconstruction, which has been named �*shanidar z�*. the remains were discovered in a cave in the kurdistan region of iraq — which archeologists believe may have been a burial site. our science editor rebecca morelle reports. revealed for the first time a face from the ancient past, a female neanderthal who lived 75,000 years ago. she�*s been called shanidar z. her face was recreated from this skull unearthed six years ago. we can say that she�*s neanderthal from various features, so perhaps the most obvious one is this quite large brow ridge that runs across above the eyes, but also things like the shape of the nose.
6:24 am
so the nose is is quite wide at the top. a detailed analysis suggests she was probably around her mid—forties with particularly worn teeth. by the time the teeth are getting this worn down. chewing is not as effective as it would have been, so she�*s not able to eat in quite the same way. we�*ve got some other indications of sort of poor dental health, some infections, some gum disease as well. probably by the time the skeleton and the teeth are this kind of worn, you�*re actually getting to the natural end of life. the skull was found like this in profile and completely flattened into a two—centimetre thick layer. transforming the crushed skull into what you can see here has been astonishingly difficult. it�*s made from hundreds of fragments of incredibly fragile bone that have been painstakingly pieced together. it�*s like the ultimate 3d jigsaw puzzle. it�*s taken the best part of a year to complete. the skeleton was discovered
6:25 am
in a cave in the kurdistan region of iraq. the excavation was followed by a documentary team. archaeologists have been unearthing neanderthal remains there since the 1950s. they found bones from at least ten individuals. they think it�*s a burial site where different groups of neanderthals brought their dead over many years. i think it means that they they must have cared for each other. they were looking after other members of the group, and that care went on after they died. because they were carefully placed and probably covered. there�*s absolutely no doubt that they maintained a tradition over several hundred years of "this is where you put grandma." since the first excavations, the cave has been transforming our understanding of neanderthals. the species disappeared about 40,000 years ago, while modern humans — that�*s us — thrived. but now there�*s evidence from the cave they used tools, built fires, and cooked together. you�*re getting into a world
6:26 am
where you can see neanderthals sitting around, preparing food, heating them up, some kind of simple cooking going on, and presumably that beginning of socializing in ways. so that�*s just another example of they�*re more and more like us. for the archeologists, touching the past is all about telling the stories of these ancient people. it's a massive privilege, actually, to be able to work with the remains of of any individual, but especially one as special as her. it's very exciting to start getting glimpses of what her life was like. there are really important things that we can learn about her as an individual, about the group that she was part of. learning about shanidar z also reveals more about us because although neanderthals died out, our two species once interbred and their genes live on in us. so she could revealjust how similar or different we are.
6:27 am
rebecca morrell, bbc news. rather sad eyes i think. still to come on breakfast. radical optimism came to me through a friend of mine who i was having a conversation with him and he said, you know what the world needs, radical optimism, and that term stayed with me for so long. i think the idea of resilience and pushing through, when things feel like they aren�*t going well, to know it is not the end. we�*ll hear more from dua lipa on the inspiration behind her latest album, visiting her old primary school and preparations for headlining at glastonbury this summer. that�*s coming up at 0650. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
6:28 am
hello, good morning from bbc london. as we�*ve been hearing, a man is due in court today charged with the murder of daniel anjoirnin, the 14—year—old boy killed in a sword attack in hainault on tuesday. marcus monzo, who is 36 and from newham in east london will appear before barkingside magistrates. it�*s as people in the local community have been paying tribute to the school boy. a former chaplain at wandsworth prison has described conditions there as "unbearable." the prison service insists it�*s improving safety and conditions at the 170—year—old jail. but liz bridge claims it�*s been "allowed to fail" with rats and sewage in cells a common occurrence. i cannot but think we are walking towards an explosion of some sort. because prison numbers are going up very quickly and officer numbers are not keeping pace.
6:29 am
and the conditions are appalling. people are casting their votes in local and mayoral elections today. polling stations are open from 7 this morning until 10 o�*clock tonight. one of the oldest open water swimming events in the country has been cancelled over concerns about sewage in the river thames. the annual boulters lock to bray swim in maidenhead has taken place most years since the 1890s. but the event this july will not go ahead, as organisers are worried about people getting sick. the royal parks is asking dog owners to keep their pets on leads from now until the end ofjuly. that�*s because it is the season for newborn deer — especially in places like bushey and richmond parks. the charity is recruiting 90 additional volunteer rangers to help safeguard the newborns. let�*s take a look at the tubes now.
6:30 am
now on to the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a very noisy end to the night for many of us as thunderstorms have been tracking north from the continent. the met office has extended their yellow weather warning for thunderstorms until 10 o�*clock this morning. now, we have had some heavy bursts of rain, frequent lightning, as you can see here, but also some very loud rumbles of thunder as well. still at risk of these storms as we head through this morning coming up from the south. but gradually they will start to break up. still at risk of showers through the day. brighter in the east with a bit of sunshine, more cloud in the west. temperatures getting up to 21 celsius. now, overnight tonight, we still have a risk of more showers moving north again. they could be heavy. some rumbles of thunder potentially again through the early hours of the morning. staying largely cloudy overnight. the minimum temperature dropping to 9 celsius. as we head into friday, it�*s going to stay very unsettled. spells of rain.
6:31 am
the temperature a bit cooler through tomorrow. into the weekend, staying unsettled, but temperatures making a little bit of a recovery by bank holiday monday. that�*s it from me for now. i�*ll have more in half an hour. now though, i�*ll pass you back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. tradespeople are seeing their vehicles being broken into more frequently, with thieves using increasingly violent tactics in order to steal valuable work tools. ben�*s been taking a look at this for us. you sometimes see on a work of�*s man, a sign saying, there are no tools inside this vehicle. i man, a sign saying, there are no tools inside this vehicle.- tools inside this vehicle. i guess it is happening _ more and more. these can be very expensive pieces of equipment,
6:32 am
which is why thieves target them. and these thefts can have a pretty big impact on people who need those tools to do theirjob. good morning. there were more reports to police about tools being stolen last year than the year before, according to data from two thirds of forces across the uk. last year, there were over 44,500 instances reported. that�*s equivalent to one every 12 minutes. that figure is up 5% from the year before. those thefts affect a large number of tradespeople, who often carry tools with them for work. one industry survey found almost 80%, around four in five workers, have had tools stolen at some point. each incident has a pretty hefty cost too. another survey by insurer direct line found the average value of tools stolen in each theft added up to £2,200. the cost of replacing them can range from a couple of hundred pounds to a few thousand, depending on what�*s been taken. take a look at this! this isjoiner paul duffey, who has
6:33 am
had tools stolen from him three times in the last three years since he started his own business. on this occasion, he was able to stop the men making off with his saw, but a £600 drill had already been taken from his van. in total, he�*s lost around £7,000 worth of tools to theft. paul now stores them in a workshop in a friend�*s garage to try and protect himself from future losses. look at the violence involved as well! it�*s notjust the cost of replacing tools that�*s tricky for tradespeople — more than 80% of people said they�*d lost out on work because of not having the tools needed to do the job. people like michael, a senior construction manager at a building firm in birmingham, help staff when they�*re targeted, but not everyone has an employer to fall back on. when someone takes someone's tools, a person is going to struggle
6:34 am
to come to work and then struggle to feed their families, keep their... you know, make their rent or their mortgage payments and so on. and it's utterly devastating for those individuals. and with the cost—of—living crisis and things like that, you know, the construction industry is full of hard—working people, who are just, you know, just making life livable by working hard. and several thousand pounds out of the blue may be enough to completely knock you off the perch, unfortunately. this is affecting people even if they haven�*t had tools stolen. almost 95% said they had spent money on precautions to protect their tools, adding extra security to vans with additional locks, trackers, and alarms. the home office says it�*s "exploring ways to increase enforcement and share best practice between forces, which includes ensuring property is secure, identifiable and traceable through marking."
6:35 am
thank you very much. let�*s find out what is happening with the sport. good morning. in any sport, there are characters.— good morning. in any sport, there are characters.- whetherl good morning. in any sport, there i are characters.- whether you are characters. oh, yes. whether you like them or— are characters. oh, yes. whether you like them or not, _ are characters. oh, yes. whether you like them or not, in _ are characters. oh, yes. whether you like them or not, in this _ are characters. oh, yes. whether you like them or not, in this case, - are characters. oh, yes. whether you like them or not, in this case, i - like them or not, in this case, i like them or not, in this case, i like them or not, in this case, i like them very much. they keep you hooked. in like them very much. they keep you hooked. , ,., , hooked. in sport, there is excitement. _ hooked. in sport, there is excitement. ronnie - hooked. in sport, there is - excitement. ronnie o'sullivan has excitement. ronnie o�*sullivan has gone out in the world snooker championship. a lot of people are gutted because he is the big draw. he gives us a lesson in how to handle defeat coming up in a moment. good morning. it was a day of shocks at the crucible. and world number one ronnie o�*sullivan won�*t be crowned world champion for a record eighth time, after he was beaten by stuart bingham 13 frames
6:36 am
to 10. there was plenty of drama at the crucible and some controversy with the score at 10 frames all, with some noise and disturbance from the other table in the auditorium, when some fans came back in to watch the end of kiran wilson�*s match. after a few minutes the referee, wanted o�*sullivan to resume playing his match, but ronnie said no he would wait for the crowd to settle and told the ref to chill! bingham went on to win the next two frames, and o�*sullivan missed this yellow to hand the 2015 champion, a golden opportunity. and bingham made no mistake, booking his place in the semi finals but o�*sullivan, was upbeat in defeat. i�*m actually really happy, to be honest with you. i feel like i�*m actually getting through the ball, which is more important for me at this stage, you know, being a bit wary in a couple of years. so for me, you know, not the win that i would like to have had, but, you know, that�*sjust snooker — that�*s the way it goes. good luck to stuart. he played a fantastic match and deserved his victory. so i�*m just pleased i competed
6:37 am
and ifelt i was cueing ok. just a few errors here and there. but, you know, on the whole, not too bad. earlier in the day, there was another big shock, as world number twojudd trump was beaten byjakjones. the 2019 champion trump was the firm favourite in this one, but seemed rattled and couldn�*t find any rhythm as the and welshman jones, who is ranked 44th in the world, and who is nicknamed the silent assassin, defied the odds to win. and the runner up, from four years ago, kiran wilson, is into the semis after beating john higgins 13—8. he�*ll take on david gilbert, who beat stephen maguire earlier in the day. premier league teams have now definitely missed out on an extra champions league spot next season, after borussia dortmund beat paris saint germain 1—0 in the competition�*s semi—final last night. niclas fullkrug scored the only goal of an absorbing game last night. and with the other semi between real madrid and bayern munich, level, at 2—2, it gives germany the extra spot in next season�*s competition, rather than the premier league.
6:38 am
emma hayes�* reign as chelsea manager looks set to end in disapointment, after her side slipped up, away at liverpool, in the women�*s super league. it was a thriller at prenton park, and it was the home side, who won it, from this corner in stoppage time, liverpool captain gemma bonner, scoring the winner against her old club. the defeat leaves hayes�*s chelsea six points off leaders manchester city with a game in hand. but if city take four points from their last two games, they will be champions. and there�*s a fascinating title race in the scottish women�*s premier league as well with rangers the big winners last night. they�*re now level on points with leaders celtic, after beating hearts 3—0. libby bance, adding the third, slotting into the bottom corner, just before the end, to seal a comfortable victory. celtic�*s lead slipped after they were held to a 2—2 draw by glasgow city before rangers kicked off. charlotte wardlaw the scorer to level the game up for the visitors. so celtic remain top, but only on goal difference now. from a shock at the snooker to a surprise in spain. carlos alcaraz has seen the defence of his madrid open title ended
6:39 am
after he was beaten in the quarter finals. the world number three was stunned by andrey rublev in front of his home crowd. alcaraz took the first set but lost the next two. a 16—year—old british golfer will be up against some of the best players in the world, when he make a first appearance —— when he make a first appearance on the pga tour in texas today. great things are expected of surrey—based teenager kris kim, who starred in europe�*s victory, at last year�*s junior ryder cup. probably first hit a golf ball when i was around five. my mum used to play on the tour, so i always used to watch her and then ended up falling in love with it myself. i�*ve actually got, like, exams to pass english high school three days after i get back. so try and forget about them for the time being and then focus on them on the flight back. one of the most eagerly—anticipated
6:40 am
events at this summer�*s olympics and paralympics is the 100 metres. this time round, there are high hopes of medal success for zharnel hughes — britain�*s fastest man and winner of the bronze medal at last year�*s world championships. i�*ve been to meet him and the man whose record he finally broke. the two fastest sprinters in british history, the legendary linford christie, alongside the man who�*s finally broken his 100m record, zharnel hughes, who ran the distance in 9.83 seconds last year to break a record that stood for 30 years. and, luckily for me, at this training session in london, they weren�*t hitting top speed, so i was able to catch up with them. hey, mike, how are you doing? i thought it was good. you know, i thought finally, you know, because it had been there for too long. i think it should have gone a long time ago. and it was...
6:41 am
you know, it was nice. ijust thought, "yeah, at least now we�*ve progressed and the sport�*s moving on." when it happened, i was like, "wait, we actually did this," you know? and to know that the record stood there for 30 years — that's way older than me. thank you. i'm sorry. i'm sorry, but yeah... yeah, it was a great achievement. and i'm just happy, you know, i was able to go there and do greatness like that. zharnel also now holds the british record at 200m. and 2023 was some year for the 28—year—old, as he finally won his first individual medal at a world championships, taking bronze in budapest. it was a dream come true right there, and it makes you more hungry. i can�*t become complacent. i can�*t become too satisfied. it�*s now dawning on zharnel that an olympic medal is within his grasp in paris. so, with this in mind, he�*s been training in the caribbean with the same coach who helped usain bolt achieve greatness. this is where you live every
6:42 am
single thing on the track. you just have to remind yourself, this is what i�*ve sacrificed my time with my family. not partying. everything you�*ve done to lead up to this moment, that�*s what matters, you know? legacy, medals, how many medals you have attained throughout your career. and that�*s what i want to do. and linford has done it, and i want to follow his footsteps, you know. and it�*s there in the caribbean that zharnel�*s been able to follow his other passion — learning to fly. and this feeling of just slightly coming off the ground and just knowing that, hey, you�*re airborne now! you know? and just making my tones and stuff, it�*s just incredible. —— and just making my turns and stuff, it�*s just incredible. i totally love it because, you know, it�*s a whole escape. freedom for me, it�*s an escape. it�*s like a suppressor,
6:43 am
you know, for me. but it helps... it helps me with track and field as well, because it�*s like decisions, decisions. if i mess this up, then it can cost me. same thing with the race. back in london, he was keen to show me how the flying helps him handle one of the most important parts of any sprint race — the explosive start. my height is something that affects my start. but, for me, i�*m focusing a lot on my first 30m and my first five steps are my most crucial bit of the race. because if i lose my balance on my first three steps, it�*s over, especially in the 100m. there�*s no... three steps. first three steps. there�*s no room for errors when it comes down to the 100. i�*ve noticed that if i was to say good luck, shake hands. not before the race. what would you do as a competitor? you may just stay there by yourself, honestly, because i�*m not looking at you because you�*re not going to get into my head, that�*s for sure. you can hear your heartbeat, busting through your top — your vest,
6:44 am
your bodysuit, whatever you�*re racing in. you can hear the others breathing on the start line. and it�*s just one of those intensifying moments when you go up on your set position. listen out. bang! if only i�*d known all this before i took part in a birmingham grand prix 60m race as part of a british athletics experiment to compare elite athletes with us mere mortals. it looks like i�*m a tortoise! the time, so i did 9.27. that�*s only 60m. says it all. where did i go wrong, zharnel? at least when it comes to food, i do have something in common with zharnel — his guilty food pleasure. and this is where he differs from usain bolt, famous for eating chicken nuggets. i�*m not a chicken nugget fan — that�*s too much grease, man. after i compete, that is, i�*ll have a pizza. ah, yeah. i have a pizza. probably a cheeseburger. fat cheeseburger.
6:45 am
what�*s your favourite pizza topping? oh, yes. i�*m glad you asked. it might be unusual... this one�*s going to be a good one. i have to have pineapple on my pizza. pineapple on pizza is the go—to. you hear me, guys? it�*s notjust medals, then, but the prospect of pineapple on pizza in paris that�*s pushing zharnel towards his goal. i have a lot in common with my mate zharnel. pineapple on pizza. till then, he was not very controversial, a lovely fella. what happened? when you are starting... he made mejump when he shouted, bang! the anticipation, the build—up. some asked why he competed for great britain when he was born in anguilla. it is a british overseas territory. it has a ways been his dream. very talented, very charming.
6:46 am
a dream for you to run between zharnel hues and linford christie. here�*s carol with a look at this morning�*s weather. looks a nightmare with the lightning. very frightening. goad lightning. very frightening. good morninu. lightning. very frightening. good morning- we _ lightning. very frightening. good morning. we have _ lightning. very frightening. good morning. we have had _ lightning. very frightening. (emf. morning. we have had some hunting is of thunderstorms across southern england and wales. they still are going. in other parts of the country, we are looking at sunny spells when we lose the low cloud, mist and murk. this is what has been producing torrential downpours and thunderstorms. they have been going through the night. you can see them dancing away. they are travelling west. in the space of one to two hours we could have 25 millimetres of rainfall. gusty winds around as well. they will take their time to
6:47 am
clear. as i mentioned, they will slowly move towards the west. still cloud behind them and even into the afternoon with heavy showers around. they could prove to be thundery. the low cloud, mist and murk in the east pushes back to the coast, where it will linger in parts. we are looking at sunshine in scotland and northern ireland with one or two showers in northern ireland. on the north sea coastline, that will take the edge of the temperatures was that the highest temperature is likely to be in western scotland, 22, the same for east anglia. somewhere like liverpool could reach 21. feeling fresh in south wales and south of england. we still have this line of thunderstorms with a lot of cloud around. very slowly they will start to mid—north. some clear skies in the north was that these are the overnight lows. no issues with frost, six to 11 degrees. tomorrow, we still have our weather front, a
6:48 am
waving weather front. we still have our weather front, a waving weatherfront. it we still have our weather front, a waving weather front. it is doing this. it will continue to move steadily north. england and wales, a lot of cloud to start the day. some thundery downpours travelling north through the day. eventually, we could see sam getting into the east of scotland. once again, the west of scotland seeing the lion�*s share of the sunshine. temperatures up to 21. thank you. she might have been turned down for her school choir but thankfully it didn�*t stop dua lipa from pursuing a career in music. imagine that! that is a bit like turning down the beatles. the grammy award—winning pop superstar has got a busy summer ahead with a main slot at glastonbury and her third album is released tomorrow. our music correspondent mark savage has been to meet her. four number one singles,
6:49 am
seven brit awards... this is sick! ..a role in the barbie movie. hi, barbie! a headline slot at glastonbury and now a new album. dua lipa�*s rise seems unstoppable. dua lipa. hey! how are you? i�*m so good, mark. how are you? i�*m really well, thank you. all the better for having heard your new album... ah! radical optimism. i have...this here. they say the music industry is full of sharks and there they are. literal sharks. i�*m sitting there very calm, you know, in the midst of something quite, quite scary and dangerous. that�*s the whole theory behind the title, right? tell me how you came up with it. so radical optimism came to me through a friend of mine, who... i was having a conversation with him and he was like, "you know, what the world needs — radical optimism."
6:50 am
and that term had just stayed with me for so long. i think the idea of resilience and pushing through and when things feel like they aren�*t going well, to know that it�*s not the end. # i�*m not here for long # catch me or i go houdini.# the first two singles, houdini and training season, they almost feel like they�*re partner songs. mm—hm. because in both, you�*re saying i have certain standards and if you don�*t meet them, i�*m off. i�*m off. how much do you stick to that? i think you have your, like, non—negotiables. i think before i would see a red flag and i would be like, "oh, how beautiful!" you know. what�*s a red flag for you? i don�*t know. it can be anything. it can be, like, one sly, demeaning comment that you brush off and you don�*t think it�*s as important as it might be. and then you realise that it�*s, like, a pattern. # don�*t wanna have to teach you how to love me right.# and the album does talk a lot about dating.
6:51 am
i�*m interested in what dating is like for you at this point in your life. there�*s a janet jackson song, all for you, where she sings about people being afraid to approach her because of who she is. do you find that? i don�*t know. maybe. ithink... i don�*t know. i like to go on a friend recommendation. i think it makes it easier when they�*re like... better than a dating app. vetted. dating apps for me, i don�*t think would would work. people might recognise the profile picture. they might, or they might think they�*re being catfished or something. can i take you back a bit? because recently with greg james at radio one, you went back and visited your old school? idid, yeah. is that the school where you didn�*t make it into the choir? that is the school i didn�*t make it into the choir. how did that happen? so i went into assembly, as me in front of all the classes.
6:52 am
and i get up and i decide that i�*m going to sing. and he plays the music and i�*m trying to hit this high note and nothing comes out, like, literally air. and everyone in assembly laughs. that sounds like a nightmare i�*ve had. it�*s really like a nightmare. and he was like, "oh, it�*s ok, maybe next time." and i was so embarrassed in the moment. and ijust sat back down and i was like, "all right, never mind." but i always love to sing. and on this album, i feel like your vocals have grown again. like you�*re singing more powerfully, i think. yeah. and your upper register is stronger. oh, it�*s so much stronger. i mean, the voice is... it�*s a muscle. and i trained it for a whole year every night, while basically running at the same time. it was such an energetic show. i was dancing nonstop for an hour and a half. i had to really figure out my breath control. i would feel like i no longer have the fears i did when i went on my first tour of losing my voice.
6:53 am
i felt like, "oh, if the ac�*s on, i�*m going to get sick. if i don�*t drink my tea, then maybe something might happen or whatever." and ifelt like i kept straining my own voice to the point where then i would lose it out of stress or nerves, or ijust didn�*t have the confidence. and now i get up every morning, i can do myjob. i know what i�*m doing. i know what�*s required of me. there�*s a big date on the calendar — june the 28th. oh, yeah. friday night at glastonbury. you�*re headlining. how much does that occupy your thoughts on a day—to—day basis? 50% of my thought goes to glastonbury, and then the rest for every other day tasks it. it lives and has lived in my mind since the very beginning. all right, you guys ready to sing with me?
6:54 am
the last time you played glastonbury was 2017. and i remember you standing on the barriers, arm in the air, the crowd chanting, be the one back at you. you guys keep doing what you�*re doing. # be the one, be the one...# i mean, it was the most surreal performance of my life. it�*s a festival that i love — that i�*ve been to just as a fan. to have the opportunity to get up on stage — pyramid stage. friday night, that�*s very important because then i get to party saturday, sunday. exactly. the pressure�*s off. exactly. jump, jump. back in 2017, you used to get the audience up on stage to do blow your mind. yeah. can you do that with 150,000 people? it might be tight. i�*ve got to figure out a way to make 150,000 people feel like they�*re in a small little nightclub.
6:55 am
somehow. i got to do it. if there�*s one place to do it, it�*s got to be glasto. i�*m dua lipa and i�*ll see you soon! so good to see a really long conversation with such a big star. she is very relaxed and engaged. it brings home the idea of performing in front of 150,000 people. she is going to do a greatjob. and you can watch the full interview, dua lipa: headlining glastonbury right now on the bbc iplayer. still to come on breakfast... following our discussion about cpr training with footballers fabrice muamba, tom lockyer and charlie wyke on yesterday�*s programme — the british heart foundation has seen a 500% increase in people signing up to learn life—saving cpr skills online. lots of you have also been in touch

was abandoned last night, less than an hour before a performance by an american rapper, with fans left queuing outside. shows by the comedian peter kay have already been rearranged twice. music fans last night complained of being left out of pocket — while managers blamed a technical issue — as our reporter alice key explains. it was hailed as the finest arena built outside of north america, but it certainly has not been the finest start. last night, just ten minutes after the doors had opened and long queues were forming, concertgoers were handed a letter of apology and told to go home. for those who had already travelled a long way to manchester, they were less than impressed. in the line, and we got the notice it was cancelled but it shouldn�*t have gone ahead anyway because the whole week it has been cancelled, so it�*s a bit of a joke. a day's notice, i understand, but 20 minutes? we came all the way from preston, do
7:03 am
we came all the way from preston, do you know how much of a track that is? we have our gcses next week and this was the last chance of freedom and we are really annoyed. it�*s not the first time fans have been let down by co—op live. last week, the venue had to postpone its opening shows twice and reschedule events with peter kay and the black keys but last night ticket holders of amiercan rapper a boogie wit da hoodie were assured the gig would go ahead the gig would go ahead and he even got to a soundtrack as part of an air—conditioning unit fell the ceiling and he had to cancel the gig. the oak view group responsible for the building said no one was hurt but they would not run any event until it is absolutely safe to do so. the co—op group said in a statement that they were shocked and were looking for a clear plan from the venue management team for opening the venue, postponed
7:04 am
and future events. as people headed for home, organisers then cause more upset by announcing us pop star olivia rodrigo�*s first uk shows of her world tour would also be postponed. and despite being offered a full refund, these last—minute cancellations will bring little comfort to disappointed fans. our reporter sarah rogers is outside the venue for us. i suppose there are lots of questions, about refunds, people who spent money for concerts that didn�*t happen and a lot of big artists due to play in the next few days and coming weeks. as you heard, bitter disappointment from the fans. handed this bit of paper _
7:05 am
disappointment from the fans. handed this bit of paper saying _ disappointment from the fans. handed this bit of paper saying to _ disappointment from the fans. handed this bit of paper saying to leave - this bit of paper saying to leave the area and that they deeply apologise for the significant inconvenience but the artists are feeling it as well. olivia rodrigo was due to kick off the uk leg of her world tour here tomorrow and has issued a statement which says i�*m so disappointed we are unable to perform in manchester tomorrow due to ongoing venue related technical issues. we are doing our best to reschedule the show and i really hope to see you all soon. so with the previous cancellations you have heard about, that is tens of thousands of tickets that need to be rescheduled, because this venue is 23 and a half thousand capacity, costing 365 million pounds and we know the general manager has already quit because of a number of problems. the co—op are demanding answers from the oak view group who are responsible from the building and this morning we have seen people
7:06 am
around in a high viz vests and it does look like there is a bit of work going on but of course, if you are looking for sunday tickets or monday or tuesday, you are going to be wondering if you are going to be left out of pocket travel plans, hotel bookings. we don�*t yet know if those concerts will go ahead. hotel bookings. we don't yet know if those concerts will go ahead.- those concerts will go ahead. sarah, thank ou. a 36—year—old man will appear in court this morning, charged with the murder of a 14—year—old boy in north—east london. daniel anjorin died on tuesday after being attacked with a sword in hainault while on his way to school. four other people, including two police officers, were also injured. our correspondent louisa pilbeam has more. pictured in his school uniform, daniel anjorin was described as a true scholar by his teachers, dedicated to his studies and a positive, gentle boy.
7:07 am
but the 14 year old, the son of a teacher, was killed as he made his way to school. the local community left flowers for daniel and his family as they try to comprehend what took place. please, god, this never happens again. please, god. it�*s awful for the parents of that child. i really do. this neighbour did not want to be identified but said he saw daniel being attacked. they're a very nice family and you just can't imagine what they're going through now. it's a complete tragedy. there's a young boy who should not be walking to school and being stabbed on his doorstep. prosecutors announced last night that 36—year—old marcos monzo has been charged with daniel�*s murder and a series of other offences, including two counts of attempted murder. this doorbell footage shows the bravery of police officers. as the attacker brandishes his

murder of daniel but two counts of attempted murder, two counts of grievous bodily harm and one of aggravated burglary, and one of possession of a bladed article. as people continue to visit the scene and leave their tributes and mourn in hainault, a short distance from where we are now, police say the investigation continues at that scene and they say there are multiple crime scenes there and that there is forensic work still to be done and a lot of cctv footage they still need to go through. they say it is a complex investigation may also say that they recognise that the public need answers and they hope provide those. police in derbyshire have arrested a man on suspicion of murder, after a man was shot dead and another was seriously injured during an alleged burglary. police have described
7:10 am
the incident near whaley bridge as a "targeted incident" and two properties in eccles road remain cordoned off while investigations continue. there is a heavy police presence at several universities in the united states, after protests against israel�*s war in gaza led to violent clashes. riot police in texas have broken up a group of students. the university in dallas had told the demonstrators to leave, accusing them of breaching trespass laws. police say 17 people were detained. our correspondent helena humphrey is in los angeles, where there are also protests. this is obviously happening in more than one city and there are very clear tensions at play. that�*s right, and after a number of campuses and protests were cleared out throughout the course of the day the sense here is overnight in los angeles is that this area, this protest encampment behind me could become the latest flashpoint because
7:11 am
over the megaphone multiple times we have heard that this camp has been declared unlawful and protesters have been told to leave essentially or face arrest and you can see some of them behind me and through the course of the date you have heard hammering as they have been barricading themselves in essentially because we saw very violent scenes overnight when they were attacked by counter demonstrators, and 15 people were injured and one remains in hospital and in this direction as well, you were saying it was tense, we had a tense moment 20 minutes ago in this direction when protests appeared again over the barricades a substance was sprayed from the encampment causing members of the media to have to move back, but here you can see the situation. it is the california highway patrol behind me and if authorities move into the encampment it is expected to be the
7:12 am
highway patrol that goes in and then beyond that you can see members of the la police department who are on tactical alert which essentially means they can be called from across the region if things become more tens and if they do decide to clear the encampment tonight. helena, thank ou the encampment tonight. helena, thank vou for— the encampment tonight. helena, thank you for explaining _ the encampment tonight. helena, thank you for explaining what - the encampment tonight. helena, thank you for explaining what is i thank you for explaining what is going on. local elections are being held across england and wales today to select mayors, councillors and police and crime commissioners. there�*s also a by—election in blackpool south, following the resignation of the former conservative, scott benton. voters will have to show photo id to cast their ballot. polls open at 7am and close at 10pm. israel has reopened the erez crossing into northern gaza to allow more humanitarian aid into the territory. the united nations is warning that more than 70 percent of the population face "catastrophic" levels of hunger. it is the first time the main crossing has been opened since the attack by hamas

three months of the year. between january and march betweenjanuary and march it made 'ust betweenjanuary and march it made just over— betweenjanuary and march it made just over £61 billion. that's less than the £7.6 billion it made in the same period at the start of last year. that's partly due to the fact that oil and gas wholesale prices this winter were significantly lower. even though we've seen petrol and dieseljump in recent weeks that's not reflected in this set of figures. shell's profits are affected by those prices because it makes its money by extracting and producing oil and gas. well, back in february we heard full year profits for the firm hit £22.3 billion — and paid more than a billion in the uk tax _ and paid more than a billion in the uk tax and — and paid more than a billion in the uk tax and that was part of the windfalt— uk tax and that was part of the windfall tax introduced after energy firms made record profits as oil and .as firms made record profits as oil and gas prices _ firms made record profits as oil and gas prices surge following the invasion— gas prices surge following the invasion of ukraine. not all of those profits are taxable, though, as just a small part of them are from shell's uk operations.

7:18 am
long expectence. i'm under no illusion that there may be a time where i wake up in the morning and i haven't got a husband anymore and my children don't have a father. so we need to do everything we can to make sure that that does not happen. early this morning, sam atherton was woken by the news that he has a chance of life. i answered the phone to laura, one of the lung transplant nurses, and she proceeded to tell me, you know, they�*ve got an offering of a match. sam is in the late stages of pulmonary fibrosis, a degenerative and often fatal lung disease. any little thing i started to do, moving around, i got out of breath very easily, and it�*s slowly gotten worse over the last few months and especially over the last, i would probably say six weeks or so. i'm under no illusion that things are not going to get any better. so without this lung transplant, we don't have that.
7:19 am
it's reality. it is what it is. but we're here. and today is a good day. the wythenshawe team�*s in constant contact with specialist retrieval clinicians who�*ve travelled to the donor�*s hospital. they�*ve done a bronchoscopy where they look down into the donor lungs, and so far that all looks good. so we�*ve had an image sent to us and myself and the surgeon. we�*re happy with that. the retrieval team will now physically look at the lungs and take a series of tests. at any point, they may discover that the lungs aren�*t suitable for transplant. the last time we came in, i think it wasjuly, probably 20 minutes before they told us we would expect to go down. i was gowned, shaved. theyjust came into the room and said, "sorry, it�*s not going to go ahead." just hoping i�*m not going to get back in the car today and go home. so, yeah, fingers crossed. everything�*s crossed. after further conversations with the retrieval team, surgeons
7:20 am
make a final decision. we have some very good news. it's going to go ahead. all right? yeah. it�*s come. finally come. ijust want him to have a lung transplant and have the best chance at living. he's asleep now. carrying on and watching his children grow. this man has now got a chance at life. this point is a huge exercise in logistics. they�*ve just left now. the donor is several hours away and is giving a number of organs which will go to different centres around the country. each organ will require a specialist retrieval team to carry out the surgery. each recipient, some of them will already be in hospital. some of them will be coming from home. you have to coordinate. so all the recipients are ready
7:21 am
for their operations in each respective centre before we can start retrieving the organs. sam�*s double lung transplant will take up to 12 hours to perform. it is a long operation. it takes a lot of resilience. so you need to be concentrating because that life is in your hand. because the operation takes so long, the surgical team begins while the donor lungs are still en route. and so by then, we�*ve already used two or three hours of that time, and then implantation of one of the lungs may take them just over an hour, and then they�*ll remove the other lung, which will take an hour. implant the second lung, another hour. that�*s more than three hours gone by. and then the watch and wait and check then if they�*re happy. okay, the lungs have arrived. the transplant can now move to the next key phase. we have to safely dissect out the lung.
7:22 am
that�*s the crucial stage. if there you miss out some small branches and then that keeps bleeding postoperatively, you can�*t see because once you put the new lung in to go back and find all these things very tough, you have to make sure that you�*re concentrating all the time and attention to detail all the time. so sam�*s left lung is now out. he�*sjust using his right lung and the help of this machine until the new donor lung can be attached. the lung is always slightly big or slightly small, so then you�*ve got to size it to fit it in. technically, also, it�*s quite a challenging thing to do, and even if the operation itself is perfect, the outcome can be unpredictable. we sometimes have something called primary graft dysfunction that takes a lot to get the patient to breathe again and get them back to a functional state might be weeks, sometimes months. sam�*s operation continues until 9:00 the following morning. six days later.
7:23 am
couple of setbacks. his heart rate was through the roof, so they'd give him some medication to bring that down. that didn't work. so they delivered a shock. and i think it's left sam with some memories because he kept saying, i've died. and i said, no, you're very much alive and you're here with us. i�*ve had two good night�*s sleep. so i�*m starting to rest. that's perfect. i�*ve started walking. and then as these days progressed, i�*ve done more. every day is a better day. sam will be on medication for the rest of his life to stop his own body from attacking his new lungs. he�*ll be prone to infection and need regular check ups, but the transplant could give him many years of extra life. my daughter�*s 21st, so that�*s nice to have that kind of thing that i canjoin in. knowing that i�*m going to be here for my family. no, i don�*t need to worry about. i mean, not being here.
7:24 am
my wife and the kids are having to do stuff. sorry. without me. no money in the world can give me what that donor gave to me. my donor. a true hero. thanks for some for letting us follow that story with a lovely conclusion. —— thanks to sam. we are joined now by the director of transplant at manchester nhs foundation trust, professor rajamiyer something quite remarkable, you are one of 20, 25 surgeons who can do heart and lung transplants, is that correct? good morning. thanks for having me here. only five transplant centres in the uk so about 25 doing

a former chaplain at wandsworth prison has described conditions there as "unbearable". the prison service insists it�*s improving safety and conditions at the 170—year—old jail. but, liz bridge claims it�*s been "allowed to fail" and says basic standards aren�*t being met. i cannot but think we are walking towards an explosion of some sort. because prison numbers are going up very quickly and officer numbers are not keeping pace. and the conditions are appalling. one of the oldest open water swimming events in the country has been cancelled over concerns about sewage in the river thames. the annual boulters lock to bray swim in maidenhead has taken place most years since the 1890s. but recent tests found high levels of contamination near local water treatment works. the royal parks is again asking dog owners to keep their pets on leads from now

until the end ofjuly. that�*s because it is the season for newborn deer, especially in places like bushey and richmond parks. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. now, you may have heard those thunderstorms overnight. let�*s see if its going to clear up. here�*s kate kinsella. good morning. it was a very noisy end to the night for many of us as thunderstorms have been tracking north from the continent. the met office has extended their yellow weather warning for thunderstorms until 10 o�*clock this morning. now, we have had some heavy bursts of rain, frequent lightning, as you can see here, but also some very loud rumbles of thunder as well. still at risk of these storms as we head through this morning coming up from the south. but gradually they will start to break up. still a risk of showers through the day. brighter in the east
7:32 am
with a bit of sunshine, more cloud in the west. temperatures getting up to 21 celsius. now, overnight tonight, we still have a risk of more showers moving north again. they could be heavy. some rumbles of thunder potentially again through the early hours of the morning. staying largely cloudy overnight. the minimum temperature dropping to 9 celsius. as we head into friday, it�*s going to stay very unsettled. spells of rain. the temperature a bit cooler through tomorrow. into the weekend, staying unsettled, but temperatures making a little bit of a recovery by bank holiday monday. and people are casting their votes in local and mayoral elections today. polling stations are open from 7 this morning until 10 tonight. don�*t forget, you must show a valid form of photo id. if you need any more information head to our website. i�*ll have more in half an hour. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt.
7:33 am
you may remember earlier this year, a deliveroo driver bit off a customer�*s thumb, during an argument about a food delivery. the assault left stephenjenkinson with life—changing injuries — and his story raised wider concerns about regulation of the industry. the home office says it�*s taking new measures to crack down on the food delivery industry. our correspondent angus crawford reports. who�*s bringing your takeaway tonight? the vast majority are great, but we�*ve found riders who are violent. never would i ever use a delivery app ever again in my life. uninsured. it was amazing. i still can't believe that she's not here, you know. and some just plain frightening. he has my name, he has my address, he has my phone number. _ he essentially has every kind of access to me. i look, a delivery rider is trying to get away from angry locals.
7:34 am
just leave it where it is. but why? you see where it is. so leave it there. because she�*s just attacked a customer — bitten his thumb off. my arm dropped, and my brain said, "oh, she�*s let go." i lifted my arm up and i sprayed her with blood. that�*s him, stephen, with his hand in the air, wrapped in a towel to stop the bleeding. she�*d clean taken it off. it�*s as if i�*d gone through a chainsaw. he had to take months off work, have reconstructive surgery. jennifer rocha pleaded guilty, but she was classed as self—employed, so the delivery company deliveroo wasn�*t liable. he can�*t claim any compensation. what do you think of deliveroo? disgusting, as a business. financially, i�*m ruined.
7:35 am
i felt so vulnerable. meet anna. that�*s not her real name. she doesn�*t want to be identified. she can�*t forget one rider who came to her doorjust weeks ago. just as i say goodbye, he kind of leans back in and says, "you�*re a really beautiful girl. really, really beautiful." so he�*s leaning into your home? yeah. do you think he was trying to come into the house? 1,000%. so he was trying to get into your house? yes. it�*s so clear that that was, like, predatory. it was gross. didn�*t feel right. how do you feel about drivers coming to your door now? i definitely feel less safe. it�*s been a bit of a rude awakening for me, i think. happy birthday. he is with me all the time. she's in my mind.
7:36 am
in my heart. kimberly minnow was just five years old. are you happy? i want people to remember. she was a lovely girl with big dreams. she was kind and full of life. but outside school she was knocked down and killed by a driver delivering a takeaway pizza. it turned out he didn�*t have business insurance. the meal he�*d been delivering was ordered on an app called food hub. food hub are always delivering tasty food. food hub doesn�*t actually employ any drivers. it relies on individual takeaways to organise their own deliveries. but her mum thinks the company could have done more. i think they have huge responsibility towards their drivers. they�*ve never been in touch. they never cared, i think. because for them, it is just a business.
7:37 am
after we contacted them, food hub promised to get in touch with alia. they told us... police and the home office cracking down on this whole sector here out looking for illegal workers. at this time, he is currently under arrest. freedom riders can lend their accounts to anyone they want. now the three big delivery apps have agreed to tighten up identity checks so they know who those substitute riders really are. deliveroo says its system is already in operation. jennifer rocha had been using a shared account. she�*s the deliveroo rider, who bit off a customer�*s thumb. she pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm and will be sentenced tomorrow. deliveroo told us this was an awful incident.
7:38 am
but who�*s this? just two weeks ago, a month after that guilty plea on her bike in aldershot. still working. here, picking up a takeaway delivering for. . . deliveroo. the company says she was using a second account, which has also been cancelled. they told us they take their responsibilities extremely seriously. stephenjenkinsonjoins us now, alongside our correspondent, angus crawford. morning to you. first of all, we are all watching that, seeing that deliveroo driver, who will be sentenced tomorrow, still delivering. you had yourfun betting. what did he think watching that? the

7:46 am
absolutely. good morning. it was a day of shocks at the crucible. and the world number one ronnie o�*sullivan won�*t be crowned world champion for a record eighth time, after he was beaten by stuart bingham 13 frames to 10. there was plenty of drama at the crucible and some controversy with the score at 10 frames all with some noise and disturbance from the other table in the auditorium, when some fans came back in to watch the end of their other match. and you can see how close they are to ronnie�*s table. after a few minutes, the referee wanted o�*sullivan to resume playing his match, but ronnie said no, he would wait for the crowd to settle and told the ref to "chill" bingham went on to win the next two frames, and o�*sullivan missed this yellow to hand the 2015 champion, a golden opportunity. and bingham made no mistake, booking his place in the semi finals but o�*sullivan, was upbeat in defeat. i�*m actually really happy, to be honest with you. i feel like i�*m actually getting through the ball, which is more important for me at this stage, you know, being a bit wary in a couple of years. so for me, you know, not the win that i would like to have had,
7:47 am
but, you know, that�*sjust snooker — that�*s the way it goes. good luck to stuart. he played a fantastic match and deserved his victory. so i�*m just pleased i competed and ifelt i was cueing ok. just a few errors here and there. but, you know, on the whole, not too bad. now, before that upset, there was another one, as the world number twojudd trump was beaten byjakjones. the 2019 champion trump was the firm favourite in this one, but seemed rattled and couldn�*t find any rhythm as the and welshman jones, who is ranked 44th in the world, and who is nicknamed the silent assassin, defied the odds to win. and the runner—up from four years ago, kiran wilson, is into the semis after beating john higgins 13—8. he�*ll take on david gilbert, who beat stephen maguire earlier in the day. premier league teams have now definitely missed out on an extra champions league spot next season, after borussia dortmund beat paris saint germain 1—0 in the competiton�*s semi—final first leg last night.
7:48 am
because of this one nil win, for the german side, and with the other semi between real madrid and bayern munich level at 2—2, it gives germany the extra spot in next season�*s competition, rather than the premier league. the chelsea manager, emma hayes, says the title race in the women�*s super league is done, after her side, slipped up, away at liverpool, in the women�*s super league. it was a thriller at prenton park, and it was the home side, who won it from this corner in stoppage time. liverpool captain gemma bonner scoring the winner against her old club. the defeat leaves hayes�*s chelsea, six points off leaders manchester city, who need four points from their last two games to be champions. but, despite it now looking like a disappointing end to hayes�* time at chelsea, she wants fans to see the bigger picture. i want to remind ourfans how much success we have brought over the years. it is not to be this year. i am sure chelsea will continue to be at the top of the game and it is important we go out in the best
7:49 am
possible way. and there�*s a fascinating title race in the scottish women�*s premier league, as well because as celtic were being held to a 2—2 draw by glasgow city, rangers closed the gap, with a 3—0 win over hearts. libby bance, with the third, and rangers are now level on points with the leaders celtic, whose advantage is now just goal difference. before i go, i must mention 16—year—old chris kim. most 16—year—olds are getting ready for their gcses and is getting ready by playing against some of the best golfers in the wild in texas. a* to watch! thank you very much. 50 years ago, blue peter held a competition inviting children to design inventions which they thought would be made by the year 2000 — some entries were for things we still can�*t imagine, including an underwater city ina submarine. but one young boy drew what ended up becoming part of our everyday life — the flat screen tv — which was not introduced until the late �*90s.
7:50 am
let�*s take a look back at some of the competition entries. hello. and today�*s the day when we�*re announcing the results for our ideas for the earth 2000 competition. robbery proof door. the door reacts to the voice of the person who is allowed to go through the door. nobody else. the space wallet for the year 2000. some paper money up here. it's european money. it's marked emu, european monetary unit. instead of having half a dozen countries with half a dozen different sorts of money, you just have one set of money. it�*s an underwater city which includes a nuclear power plant to supply energy, a solar reflector system and solar collecting disks for extra economical power. at school today, we were the first children to try out the new teaching computer. it was a great fun because all we had to do was press a button and then wait for the lessons to come up. a flat screen television set that can be viewed from two sides
7:51 am
at once by two people. and you can probably see there that they�*re wearing earplugs so they don�*t disturb anybody else. but is it a flat screen? is that practical? oh, yes. they�*re developing it now — very early stage. very clever. we have spoken to the winner of the under—11s category, steven bostock, who imagined a flat screen tv, which could be watched on both sides. the next step! it also had elements of the world wide web integrated into it — two decades before it became reality. he told us what he could remember from the competition. when the programme came on, i was looking at all the pictures in the background of the studio and thinking, "well, i can�*t see mine there. i�*m not going to get anywhere." and then when they announced it, ijust couldn�*t believe it. it was just an amazing experience too, to win it. it made me famous for a week in the local area. we�*re still talking about it now,
7:52 am
which the point. we are nowjoined by former blue peter presenter peter purves and tom cheesewright, an applied futurist and technology expert. morning. just take us back to that time, 50 years ago. you get all of these ideas coming in. they were brilliant ideas, won�*t they? these ideas coming in. they were brilliant ideas, won't they?- these ideas coming in. they were brilliant ideas, won't they? some of them are quite _ brilliant ideas, won't they? some of them are quite extraordinary. - them are quite extraordinary. stephen bostock�*s winning entry, it was in the oldest age group. the competition always has three different age groups. there were three winners down the line. that was extraordinary because, as james burke said at the time, black screen technology had just started to be worked on. it wasn�*t a viable proposition. —— flat screen. i remember, it was probably the same
7:53 am
year, i demonstrated the first telephone you could take outside, move around and ring people elsewhere. it was a haversack you had around your neck. you had an ordinary old—fashioned telephone attached to it and you could make calls. this was extraordinary, ground—breaking. we know where that has all gone. it really was exceptional that he could come up with something that really was not within the range, i would have thought, of someone his age to even understand the possibility. television is back in the day, and i am sure you will both remember, they were big, they had great depth to them because they had a cathode ray tube inside. we are only five years on from colour television being universal across the bbc with the line system changing to 625. people watching out who were not born then will not even know what i am talking

7:55 am
it is to get them to think outside the box, to imagine these unbelievable possibilities. children, without knowing and understanding what is possible, a think about what we need, they have these unbounded imaginations and come up with these incredible ideas, which have proven to be prophetic. this cloud blower, we need right now. even to recognise that would be something which would be needed because of the earth�*s in balance, thatis because of the earth�*s in balance, that is how you go about trying to invent something. you look at the obvious rather than the brits bizarre. —— the bizarre. i obvious rather than the brits bizarre. -- the bizarre.- obvious rather than the brits bizarre. -- the bizarre. i am not sure what _ bizarre. -- the bizarre. i am not sure what problem _ bizarre. -- the bizarre. i am not sure what problem stephen - bizarre. -- the bizarre. i am not sure what problem stephen wasj bizarre. -- the bizarre. i am not - sure what problem stephen was trying to solve with the two sided television. maybe people wanted to watch different things in the household. you recognise these
7:56 am

hello, good morning to you. let�*s get your london news with me, frankie mccamley. friends, family and local community members have been paying tribute to 14—year—old daniel anjorin who was killed in a sword attack in hainault on tuesday. its as a man from newham is due in court today charged with his murder. 36—year—old marcus monzo will appear before barkingside magistrates later today a former chaplain at wandsworth prison has described conditions there as "unbearable". the prison service insists it�*s improving safetyand conditions but, liz bridge claims it�*s been "allowed to fail" with rats and sewage in cells a common occurance. i cannot but think we are walking towards an explosion of some sort. because prison numbers are going up very quickly and officer numbers are not keeping pace. and the conditions are appalling. people are casting their votes in local and mayoral elections today. polling stations are now open until 10 o�*clock tonight.
7:59 am
new rules are in place which means you need to take your photo id. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. minor delays on the bakerloo, northern lines. severe delays too on the district and overground between willesden junction and richmond. as for the weather— those overnight thunderstoms have left the capital and things with start to clear up. lots of cloud around but temperatures reaching 21. that�*s it from me. see you in half an hour good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the concert arena plagued with problems — co—op live, britain�*s biggest indoor venue, postpones its opening yet again, calling off more gigs and leaving fans furious. my first concert. i�*m so excited. and then he just gives us cancelled, you know, not even like a couple days notice.
8:00 am
we can understand that. 20 minutes. a man will appear in court this morning, charged with the murder of 14—year—old daniel anjorin, who died in a sword attack in east london. a face from the ancient past. british scientists rebuild the skull of a female neanderthal, who lived 75,000 years ago. tool theft on the rise — tradespeople say their vans are broken into more frequently, with thieves using increasingly violent tactics. i�*ll be taking a look at the impact it�*s having. good morning. i've been to meet britain's fastest man, zharnel hughes, as he sets his sights on an olympic medal this summer and the sky's the limit. the lives saved after cardiac arrests. and the huge increase in people wanting to learn more about cpr, after a campaign launch here on breakfast.

8:02 am
the finest start. last night, just ten minutes after the doors had opened and long queues were forming, concertgoers were handed a letter of apology and told to go home. for those who had already travelled a long way to manchester, they were less than impressed. in the line, and we got the notice it was cancelled but it shouldn�*t have gone ahead anyway because the whole week it has been cancelled, so it�*s a bit of a joke. a day's notice, i understand, but 20 minutes? we came all the way from preston, do you know how much _ of a trek that is? we have our gcses next week and this was the last chance of freedom and we are really annoyed. it�*s not the first time fans have been let down by co—op live. last week, the venue had to postpone its opening shows twice and reschedule events with peter kay and the black keys. but last night,
8:03 am
ticket holders of amiercan rapper a boogie wit da hoodie were assured the gig would go ahead and he even got to a soundtrack before part of an air—conditioning unit fell the ceiling and he had to cancel the gig. the oak view group responsible for the building said no one was hurt but they would not run any event until it is absolutely safe to do so. the co—op group said in a statement that they were shocked and were looking for a clear plan from the venue management team for opening the venue, and postponed and future events. as people headed for home, organisers then cause more upset by announcing us pop star olivia rodrigo�*s first uk shows of her world tour would also be postponed. and despite being offered a full refund, these last—minute cancellations will bring little
8:04 am
comfort to disappointed fans. our reporter sarah rogers is outside the venue for us. lots of questions about refunds and upcoming events because something has gone badly wrong. yes, wejust heard the bitter disappointment for people, less than an hour to go and then the gig was cancelled. olivia rodrigo was due to kick off her world tour here and that was cancelled and she put out a statement to say she was so disappointed that we are unable to perform in manchester due to ongoing venue related technical issues. as we have been hearing this morning, we are in the car park, but if the camera moves to my right we
8:05 am
can see it�*s a bit of a building site here this morning beyond those barriers as workers arrive and things are going on. the sponsors, the co—op, have asked for answers from the oak view group, because other than the safety issues, we are talking about tens of thousands of tickets. this is a 23,500 capacity venue, costing £365 million. let�*s turn our attention to the next shows. ta on sunday and then take that, so you might have to change your hotel booking, and i have checked the twitter account of co—op this morning, and we don�*t yet know what the statuses of the gigs, so unless we further information, keep
8:06 am
checking but so disappointing for so many people. checking but so disappointing for so many people-— checking but so disappointing for so many people. sarah, thank you very much. a 36—year—old man will appear in court this morning, charged with the murder of a 14—year—old boy in north—east london. daniel anjorin died on tuesday after being attacked with a sword in hainault while on his way to school. our correspondent louisa pilbeam joins us now from outside court. louisa, there are multiple charges — what can you tell us? what will we hear today? marcus monzo will _ what will we hear today? marcus monzo will appear _ what will we hear today? marcus monzo will appear here - what will we hear today? marcus monzo will appear here at - monzo will appear here at barkingside magistrates�* court and faces the murder charge of daniel anjorin, the 14—year—old boy, and also faces a series of other charges, two of attempted murder, two of grievous bodily harm, one of aggravated burglary and also a charge of possession of a bladed
8:07 am
article, so he will be here at court but we are not sure what time he will be here. people in hainault, just a while from where we are now have been leaving tributes to daniel and have been trying to come to terms with what happened, and just a reminder of what did happen as there was a suspect who was wielding a samurai style sought in hainault in the picture of daniel, the 14—year—old boy has been released and his school have said that he was and his school have said that he was a dedicated pupil, a true scholar, and a positive, gentle boy he was a pupil at bancroft school and they say he was a much loved pupil. louisa, thank you so much. local elections are being held across england and wales today to select mayors, councillors and police and crime commissioners. there�*s also a by—election in blackpool south, following the resignation of the former conservative, scott benton. voters will have to show photo id to cast their ballot. polls opened just over an hour

ago and close at 10pm. there is a heavy police presence at several universities in the united states, after protests against israel�*s war in gaza led to violent clashes. in the last few hours, hundreds of police officers have massed on the campus of the university of california in los angeles after issuing pro—palestinian protestors in an encampment with an order to disperse or face arrest. israel has reopened the erez crossing into northern gaza to allow more humanitarian aid into the territory. the united nations is warning that more than 70 percent of the population face "catastrophic" levels of hunger. it is the first time the main crossing has been opened since the attack by hamas on october the 7th. in the last hour the oil giant shell has released its results for the first quarter of this
8:09 am
year. ben�*s here with the details. one of the uk�*s biggest companies shell has revealed its profits for the first three months of the year. betweenjanuary to march it made just over 6.1 billion pounds. that�*s less than the 7.6 billion it made in the same period at the start of last year. that�*s partly due to the fact that oil and gas wholesale prices this winter were significantly lower. even though we�*ve seen petrol and dieseljump in recent weeks that�*s not reflected in this set of figures. shell�*s profits are affected by those prices because the firm makes its money by extracting and producing oil and gas, then selling it.last year it made 22 billion pounds and paid more than a billion in uk tax — including the windfall tax which was introduced after energy firms made record profits as oil and gas prices surged following the invasion of ukraine and the lifting of covid lockdowns. remember, not all of its profits are taxable, only the small part that come from shell�*s uk operations.
8:10 am
and these profits matter because a lot of people�*s pensions or life savings are invested in this, one of britain�*s biggest companies — although little comfort and they get a boost from these profits. although little comfort for those feeling the pinch at the pump or with energy bills. here�*s carol with a look at this morning�*s weather. why not have a chat with her about the weather? tell us about the storms that some people saw in the early hours on the morning?- early hours on the morning? that's riuht. early hours on the morning? that's right- they — early hours on the morning? that's right- they are _ early hours on the morning? that's right. they are easing _ early hours on the morning? that's right. they are easing off _ early hours on the morning? that's right. they are easing off now- early hours on the morning? that's right. they are easing off now but i right. they are easing off now but there _ right. they are easing off now but there are — right. they are easing off now but there are still thunderstorms around and more to— there are still thunderstorms around and more to come and it is a bank holiday— and more to come and it is a bank holiday weekend, so if you have this weekend _ holiday weekend, so if you have this weekend off, what you can expect is changeable weather, spells of warm sunshine _ changeable weather, spells of warm sunshine and showers or longer

8:13 am
a cardiac arrest. they�*ve nowjoined a campaign by the charity to encourage more of us to learn the life—saving skill. our reporter tim muffett has more. just get involved. get involved. not a bystander. just if you see somebody in a predicament, you could just do something. do something. there we go. do something. a simple, vital message from three men who�*ve experienced cardiac arrest. yesterday on the breakfast sofa, fabrice muamba, tom lockyer and charlie wyke, who all suffered cardiac arrests whilst playing football, urged people to learn cpr. it�*s what helped save their lives. 30,000 people a year will have out—of—hospital cardiac arrest and sadly, less than 10% will make it. and that�*s purely because of the fact that not enough people know cpr. the message resonated with many viewers. before she got engaged, amy had been on a first aid course through herjob. it helped her save herfiance lee�*s
8:14 am
life in 2020, when one night he started having chest pains. we thought, you know, he was too young to have a heart attack and we didn�*t want to kind of cause any unnecessary stress by ringing an ambulance or anything like that. so, yeah, just thought i'd go to bed, have an early night, and i'd feel much better and turned the bedside light on. and that was when i kind of knew he was unconscious and he wasn�*t breathing, trying to shake him, shouting and screaming and panicking. picked up the phone, rang 999. they put me through to the ambulance service, connected me to the operator on the side of the phone, the call handler, who said, you know, is the patient breathing? and as soon as i said no, he told me i needed to start cpr straight away. prior to lee�*s cardiac arrest, i had been on a first aid course with work. that muscle memory was really invaluable, just having that memory of at least the confidence to know roughly how to lock my hands
8:15 am
together and where i needed to press. people never think that they're going to be in that sort of situation, especially when you're in your early thirties, you never think you're going to be needed. butjust imagine if it's one of your loved ones or someone that you cared about. since having the cardiac arrest, we�*ve had our first baby. we�*re expecting our second baby. you know, it�*s just all the things that would have never happened had he died on that night, had we not had that early intervention. since the discussion about cpr on yesterday�*s programme, the british heart foundation has seen a big rise in visitors to its website. more than 6,500 people have visited its cpr lessons page, compared to around 320 the day before, an increase of about 2,000%. there�*s been a fivefold rise in people starting its 15 minute online cpr training programme.
8:16 am
i think cpr means such a lot to people who�*ve had their loved ones lives saved by somebody actually doing that for them. as judy knows firsthand. six weeks ago, her husband, dave, had a cardiac arrest. he was out with two friends. they were rehearsing. he plays guitar. at one point he said, oh, i don�*t feel too well. but then they carried on playing and the next thing they knew, he just collapsed. one of his friends called the ambulance. quickly. the call handler, instructs them how to do cpr. what you�*re doing is you�*re keeping blood moving around the body. you�*re keeping the vital organs going by, pushing blood through them. but remember you�*re doing is you�*re keeping the brain alive
8:17 am
and it keeps that person that you know and loop it keeps them going for you. and the quicker it�*s done, you know, the more likely you�*re going to get that person that you know. and looking back at the program that you had on yesterday where you were talking to the footballers, you know, they were young men when it happened to them and they had their whole life in front of them. the british heart foundation urges anybody confronted with someone having a cardiac arrest to try cpr, to do something just as dave�*s friends did. thank you to martin and bill. because you said dave�*s life and you made that difference with somebody. that was tim muffett reporting. we arejoined by we are joined by a bevy of brilliant people. we�*rejoined now byjon, who had a cardiac arrest and had his life saved by ray, who performed cpr. good morning, both. or look so frightened, it will be fine. you�*ve done the bravest thing ever, so don�*t worry about being on the sofa.

o'clock this morning. now, we have had some heavy bursts of rain, frequent lightning, as you can see here, but also some very loud rumbles of thunder as well. still at risk of these storms as we head through this morning coming up from the south. but gradually they will start to break up. still a risk of showers through the day. brighter in the east with a bit of sunshine, more cloud in the west. temperatures getting up to 21 celsius. now, overnight tonight, we still have a risk of more showers moving north again. they could be heavy. some rumbles of thunder potentially again through the early hours of the morning. staying largely cloudy overnight. the minimum temperature dropping to 9 celsius. as we head into friday, it's going to stay very unsettled. spells of rain. the temperature a bit cooler through tomorrow. into the weekend, staying unsettled, but temperatures making a little bit of a recovery by bank holiday monday. and people are casting their votes in local and mayoral elections today. polling stations are open until 10 o'clock tonight. don't forget you need your photo id. i'll be back around 9:15.
8:36 am
see you then. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. a 75,000—year—old neanderthal skull, made up of more than 100 fragments of bone, has been painstakingly put back together and used to create a 3d reconstruction, which has been named shanidar z. there she is behind us! the remains were discovered in a cave in the kurdistan region of iraq — which archaeologists believe may have been a burial site. our science editor rebecca morelle reports. revealed for the first time a face from the ancient past, a female neanderthal who lived 75,000 years ago. she's been called shanidar z. her face was recreated from this skull unearthed six years ago.
8:37 am
we can say that she's neanderthal from various features, so perhaps the most obvious one is this quite large brow ridge that runs across above the eyes, but also things like the shape of the nose. so the nose is quite wide at the top. a detailed analysis suggests she was probably around her mid—forties with particularly worn teeth. by the time the teeth are getting this worn down, her chewing is not as effective as it would have been, so she's not able to eat in quite the same way. we've got some other indications of sort of poor dental health, some infections, some gum disease as well. probably by the time the skeleton and the teeth are this kind of worn, you're actually getting to the natural end of life. the skull was found like this in profile and completely flattened into a 2cm—thick layer. transforming the crushed skull into what you can see here has been astonishingly difficult. it's made from hundreds of fragments of incredibly fragile bone that have
8:38 am
been painstakingly pieced together. it's like the ultimate 3d jigsaw puzzle. it's taken the best part of a year to complete. the skeleton was discovered in a cave in the kurdistan region of iraq. the excavation was followed by a documentary team. archaeologists have been unearthing neanderthal remains there since the 19505. they found bones from at least ten individuals. they think it's a burial site, where different groups of neanderthals brought their dead over many years. i think it means that they must have cared for each other. they were looking after other members of the group, and that care went on after they died. because they were carefully placed and probably covered. there's absolutely no doubt that they maintained a tradition over several hundred years of "this is where you put grandma." since the first excavations, the cave has been transforming our understanding of neanderthals. the species disappeared about 40,000 years ago, while modern humans —
8:39 am
that's us — thrived. but now there's evidence from the cave they used tools, built fires, and cooked together. you're getting into a world where you can see neanderthals sitting around, preparing food, heating them up, some kind of simple cooking going on, and presumably that beginning of socializing in ways. —— of socialising in ways. so that's just another example of they're more and more like us. for the archeologists, touching the past is all about telling the stories of these ancient people. it's a massive privilege, actually, to be able to work with the remains of any individual, but especially one as special as her. it's very exciting to start getting glimpses of what her life was like. there are really important things that we can learn about her as an individual, about the group that she was part of. learning about shanidar z also reveals more about us because although neanderthals died
8:40 am
out, our two species once interbred and their genes live on in us. so she could revealjust how similar or different we are. rebecca morrell, bbc news. let's talk to mike. we have passed the 100 days mark to the olympics. within the next week the torch relay starts its journey through france before eventually arriving in paris. you get to know characters, past and future stars. we want to have an insight if we want to cheer for someone. insight if we want to cheer for someone-— insight if we want to cheer for someone. ~ , ., insight if we want to cheer for someone. ~ , . ., , someone. athletes are getting ready for their own — someone. athletes are getting ready for their own journey _ someone. athletes are getting ready for their own journey to _ someone. athletes are getting ready for their own journey to paris. - for their own journey to paris.
8:41 am
zharnel hughes had a brief trip back to london to meet the man his record he broke linford christie. i had a brief chat with them. the two fastest sprinters in british history, the legendary linford christie, alongside the man who's finally broken his 100m record, zharnel hughes, who ran the distance in 9.83 seconds last year to break a record that stood for 30 years. and, luckily for me, at this training session in london, they weren't hitting top speed, so i was able to catch up with them. hey, mike, how are you doing? i thought it was good. you know, i thought finally, you know, because it had been there for too long. i think it should have gone a long time ago. and it was... you know, it was nice. ijust thought, "yeah, at least now we've progressed and the sport's moving on." when it happened, i was like, "wait, we actually did this," you know? and to know that the record stood
8:42 am
there for 30 years — that's way older than me. thank you. i'm sorry. i'm sorry, but yeah... yeah, it was a great achievement. and i'm just happy, you know, i was able to go there and do greatness like that. zharnel also now holds the british record at 200m. and 2023 was some year for the 28—year—old, as he finally won his first individual medal at a world championships, taking bronze in budapest. it was a dream come true right there, and it makes you more hungry. i can't become complacent. i can't become too satisfied. it's now dawning on zharnel that an olympic medal is within his grasp in paris. so, with this in mind, he's been training in the caribbean with the same coach who helped usain bolt achieve greatness. this is where you live every single thing on the track. you just have to remind yourself, this is what i've sacrificed my time with my family. not partying.
8:43 am
everything you've done to lead up to this moment, that's what matters, you know? legacy, medals, how many medals you have attained throughout your career. and that's what i want to do. and linford has done it, and i want to follow his footsteps, you know. and it's there in the caribbean that zharnel�*s been able to follow his other passion — learning to fly. and this feeling of just slightly coming off the ground and just knowing that, hey, you're airborne now! you know? and just making my turns and stuff, it's just incredible. i totally love it because, you know, it's a whole escape. freedom for me, it's an escape. it's like a suppressor, you know, for me. but it helps... it helps me with track and field as well, because it's like decisions, decisions. if i mess this up, then it can cost me. same thing with the race. back in london, he was
8:44 am
keen to show me how the flying helps him handle one of the most important parts of any sprint race — the explosive start. my height is something that affects my start. but, for me, i'm focusing a lot on my first 30m and my first five steps are my most crucial bit of the race. because if i lose my balance on my first three steps, it's over, especially in the 100m. there's no... three steps. first three steps. there's no room for errors when it comes down to the 100. i've noticed that if i was to say good luck, shake hands. not before the race. what would you do as a competitor? you may just stay there by yourself, honestly, because i'm not looking at you because you're not going to get into my head, that's for sure. you can hear your heartbeat, bursting through your top — your vest, your bodysuit, whatever you're racing in. you can hear the others breathing on the start line. and it's just one of those intensifying moments when you go up on your set position.
8:45 am
listen out. bang! if only i'd known all this before i took part in a birmingham grand prix 60m race as part of a british athletics experiment to compare elite athletes with us mere mortals. it looks like i'm a tortoise! the time, so i did 9.27. that's only 60m. says it all. where did i go wrong, zharnel? at least when it comes to food, i do have something in common with zharnel — his guilty food pleasure. and this is where he differs from usain bolt, famous for eating chicken nuggets. i'm not a chicken nugget fan — that's too much grease, man. after i compete, that is, i'll have a pizza. ah, yeah. i have a pizza. probably a cheeseburger. fat cheeseburger. what's your favourite pizza topping? oh, yes. i'm glad you asked. it might be unusual... this one's going to be a good one. i have to have pineapple on my pizza. pineapple on pizza is the go—to.
8:46 am
you hear me, guys? it's notjust medals, then, but the prospect of pineapple on pizza in paris that's pushing zharnel towards his goal. isn't it italy where they frown on pineapple and pizza? i love pineapple. i think... pineapple and pizza? i love pineapple. ithink... i pineapple and pizza? i love pineapple. i think... i am sure it is very funny than to watch it. linford had seen and mentioned it to zharnel reaction, he couldn't speak for several minutes. we need to see ordinary people relative to extreme athletes more often. because they are all about the same you don't realise how extraordinary they are. that was over just realise how extraordinary they are. that was overjust 60 metres against some of the up and coming sprinters. dominic ashwell is 2.7 seconds
8:47 am
quicker over 60 metres. think how much faster zharnel hughes will be. the british record holder at 100 metres and 200 metres, he has been with the great shout of a medal. i do not know what colour. in the 100 metres, it depends on the first few seconds. 50 many things can affect the race. he has had the best preparation, he has had a great 2023. training on usain bolt�*s track with his coach. are you primed and ready to leave the set now? your new training. you shall bang! go. that was actually quite quick. not so quick in their wide shot. i work in progress. keep trying. —— a work in
8:48 am
progress. she might have been turned down for her school choir but thankfully it didn't stop dua lipa from pursuing a career in music. the grammy award—winning pop superstar has got a busy summer ahead with a main slot at glastonbury and her third album is released tomorrow. our music correspondent mark savage has been to meet her. four number one singles, seven brit awards... this is sick! ..a role in the barbie movie... hi, barbie! ..a headline slot at glastonbury and now a new album. dua lipa's rise seems unstoppable. dua lipa. hey! how are you? i'm so good, mark. how are you? i'm really well, thank you. all the better for having heard your new album... ah! radical optimism. i have...this here. they say the music industry is full of sharks and there they are. literal sharks. i'm sitting there very calm, you know, in the midst of something
8:49 am
quite, quite scary and dangerous. that's the whole theory behind the title, right? tell me how you came up with it. 50 radical optimism came to me through a friend of mine, who... i was having a conversation with him and he was like, "you know, what the world needs — radical optimism." and that term had just stayed with me for so long. i think the idea of resilience and pushing through and when things feel like they aren't going well, to know that it's not the end. # i'm not here for long # catch me or i go houdini.# the first two singles, houdini and training season, they almost feel like they're partner songs. mm—hm. because in both, you're saying i have certain standards and if you don't meet them, i'm off. i'm off. how much do you stick to that? i think you have your, like, non—negotiables. i think before i would see a red flag and i would be like, "oh, how beautiful! " you know. what's a red flag for you? i don't know. it can be anything.
8:50 am
it can be, like, one sly, demeaning comment that you brush off and you don't think it's as important as it might be. and then you realise that it's, like, a pattern. # don't wanna have to teach you how to love me right.# and the album does talk a lot about dating. i'm interested in what dating is like for you at this point in your life. there's a janet jackson song, all for you, where she sings about people being afraid to approach her because of who she is. do you find that? i don't know. maybe. ithink... i don't know. i like to go on a friend recommendation. i think it makes it easier when they're like... better than a dating app. vetted. dating apps for me, i don't think would would work. people might recognise the profile picture. they might, or they might think they're being catfished or something.
8:51 am
can i take you back a bit? because recently with greg james at radio i, you went back and visited your old school? idid, yeah. is that the school where you didn't make it into the choir? that is the school i didn't make it into the choir. how did that happen? so i went into assembly, as me in front of all the classes. and i get up and i decide that i'm going to sing. and he plays the music and i'm trying to hit this high note and nothing comes out, like, literally air. and everyone in assembly laughs. that sounds like a nightmare i've had. it's really like a nightmare. and he was like, "oh, it's ok, maybe next time." and i was so embarrassed in the moment. and ijust sat back down and i was like, "all right, never mind." but i always love to sing. and on this album, i feel like your vocals have grown again. like, you're singing more powerfully, i think. yeah. and your upper register is stronger. oh, it's so much stronger.
8:52 am
i mean, the voice is... it's a muscle. and i trained it for a whole year every night, while basically running at the same time. it was such an energetic show. i was dancing nonstop for an hour and a half. i had to really figure out my breath control. i would feel like i no longer have the fears i did when i went on my first tour of losing my voice. —— ifeel like i no longer have the fears i did when i went on my first tour of losing my voice. i felt like, "oh, if the ac�*s on, i'm going to get sick. if i don't drink my tea, then maybe something might happen or whatever." and ifelt like i kept straining my own voice to the point where then i would lose it out of stress or nerves, or ijust didn't have the confidence. and now i get up every morning, i can do myjob. i know what i'm doing. i know what's required of me. there's a big date on the calendar — june the 28th. oh, yeah. friday night at glastonbury.
8:53 am
you're headlining. how much does that occupy your thoughts on a day—to—day basis? 50% of my thought goes to glastonbury, and then the rest for every other day tasks it. it lives and has lived in my mind since the very beginning. all right, you guys ready to sing with me? the last time you played glastonbury was 2017. and i remember you standing on the barriers, arm in the air, the crowd chanting, "be the one" back at you. you guys keep doing what you're doing. # be the one, be the one...# i mean, it was the most surreal performance of my life. it's a festival that i love — that i've been to just as a fan. to have the opportunity to get up on stage — pyramid stage. friday night, that's very important because then i get to party saturday, sunday. exactly. the pressure's off. exactly. jump, jump.
8:54 am
back in 2017, you used to get the audience up on stage to do blow your mind. yeah. can you do that with 150,000 people? it might be tight. i've got to figure out a way to make 150,000 people feel like they're in a small little nightclub. somehow. i got to do it. if there's one place to do it, it's got to be glasto. i'm dua lipa and i'll see you soon! such a lovely interview. nice to hear the whole thing about being a fan, in the crowd and now being on stage never forgetting that moment. both sides. and you can watch the full interview, dua lipa: headlining glastonbury right now on the bbc iplayer. tradespeople are seeing their vehicles being broken into more frequently, with thieves using increasingly
8:55 am
violent tactics in order to steal valuable work tools. ben's been taking a look at this for us. you hear about this. the fact it is on the rise is quite telling. bear with me. on the rise is quite telling. bear with me- you — on the rise is quite telling. bear with me. you will— on the rise is quite telling. bear with me. you will see _ on the rise is quite telling. bear with me. you will see some - on the rise is quite telling. eeza. with me. you will see some really striking footage of this happening. these can be very expensive pieces of equipment, which is why thieves target them. and these thefts can have a pretty big impact on people who need those tools to do theirjob. there were more reports to police about tools being stolen last year than the year before, according to data from two thirds of forces across the uk. last year, there were over 44,500 instances reported. that's equivalent to one every 12 minutes. that figure is up 5% from the year before. those thefts affect a large number of tradespeople, who often carry tools with them for work.
8:56 am
one industry survey found almost 80% around four in five workers have had tools stolen at some point. each incident has a pretty hefty cost too. another survey by insurer direct line found the average value of tools stolen in each theft added up to £2,200. the cost of replacing them can range from a couple of hundred pounds to a few thousand, depending on what's been taken. take a look at this. this isjoiner paul duffey, who has had tools stolen from him three times in the last three years since he started his own business. on this occasion, he was able to stop the men making off with his saw, but a £600 drill had already been taken from his van. in total, he's lost around £7,000 worth of tools to theft. paul now stores them in a workshop in a friend's garage to try and protect himself
8:57 am
from future losses. look how aggressive the thieves are! it's notjust the cost of replacing tools that's tricky for tradespeople — more than 30% of people said they'd lost out on work because of not having the tools needed to do the job. people like michael, a senior construction manager at a building firm in birmingham, help staff when they're targeted, but not everyone has an employer to fall back on. when someone takes someone's tools, a person is going to struggle to come to work and then struggle to feed their families, keep their... you know, make their rent or their mortgage payments and so on. and it's utterly devastating for those individuals. and with the cost—of—living crisis and things like that, you know, the construction industry is full of hard—working people, who are just, you know, just making life livable by working hard. and several thousand pounds out of the blue may be enough to completely knock you off
8:58 am
the perch, unfortunately. this is affecting people even if they haven't had tools stolen. almost 95% said they had spent money on precautions to protect their tools, adding extra security to vans with additional locks, trackers, and alarms. the home office says it's "exploring ways to increase enforcement and share best practice between forces, which includes ensuring property is secure, identifiable and traceable through marking." so important we cover this. thank you so much. stay with us, headlines coming up.
